Speaker 1: series against the Athletics Land and Knack on the Mountain
Speaker 1: with more, we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast
Speaker 1: booth as we welcome in Tim Neverett and jose A Mota.
Speaker 3: Guys, thank you very.
Speaker 6: Much, Tim. Really nice night at Dodgers Stadium for a ballgame.
Speaker 6: Is the Dodgers get sent to begin a nine game
Speaker 6: homestand first.
Speaker 3: Three here with the Athletics.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 6: They're not in Oakland, or they are in Sacramento, but
Speaker 6: they're just going by the Athletics this year, so we'll
Speaker 6: refer to them as the A's or the Athletics, and
Speaker 6: they will be sending Jeffrey Springs, a left hander, to
Speaker 6: the mound against right handed Land and Mack here in
Speaker 6: Game one. The Dodgers start the night with the best
Speaker 6: record in baseball to twenty seven and fourteen, a game
Speaker 6: and a half in front of the San Diego Padres
Speaker 6: and the National League Western Division standings. Meantime, the A's
Speaker 6: have the best road record in Major League Baseball thirteen
Speaker 6: and seven, and their record one game over five hundred,
Speaker 6: twenty one and twenty. They're game and a half behind
Speaker 6: the American League West leading Seattle Mariners, so the A's
Speaker 6: a bit of a surprise so far. This year in
Speaker 6: the Al West and Jose motive with us tonight. Rick
Speaker 6: is at a wedding family wedding this week in Florida.
Speaker 6: Sojse just looking at this athletics team. This is a
Speaker 6: young team and a team with some players who are
Speaker 6: really hungry, hungary.
Speaker 7: And also anytime you see the Dodgers, you want to
Speaker 7: go out there and show Marcotte, your manager, that we
Speaker 7: can compete at any level. You mentioned the fact about
Speaker 7: you know, how well to play on the road, and
Speaker 7: there's been nine and to day. I mean they're still
Speaker 7: getting used to their home club over in West Sacramento.
Speaker 7: Things had not gone well on the pitching side, especially there.
Speaker 7: They're coming off a very tough home tend work. Marcosse says,
Speaker 7: we got to get used to, you know, liking playing
Speaker 7: at home. And actually the offense has been quite fine.
Speaker 7: But I think opposing offense since I've been way better.
Speaker 7: But they do have some very interesting name, nice mix
Speaker 7: of guys that are going to put the ball in play,
Speaker 7: surprisedly with some power and guys it.
Speaker 4: Are going to go out there and give us some
Speaker 4: deep at bats.
Speaker 7: So it is a series in which you cannot take
Speaker 7: anybody in that lineup the grind at all.
Speaker 6: No, you can't. It's a big series for them because
Speaker 6: they're trying to keep pace with Seattle Pig series obviously
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers, big homestand Dodgers have a great record
Speaker 6: at home this year, and the A's have been very
Speaker 6: good on the road as I mentioned, but show hey
Speaker 6: Ochani has been incredible. Freddie Freeman starts this week as
Speaker 6: the National League Player of the Week. What a week
Speaker 6: he had, What a finale he had against Arizona, going
Speaker 6: four for four, single, two doubles in a home run.
Speaker 7: I mean, Freddy's been fun to watch throughout his career,
Speaker 7: but I think he's at a stage now where he
Speaker 7: finally admitted to him his swing is where he wants
Speaker 7: it to be, and he is so honest with everybody,
Speaker 7: so transparent about where he want things to roll in.
Speaker 7: You know, for Freddie, it's quite easy to go out
Speaker 7: there and nurse understand what he is. When he starts
Speaker 7: rolling foul balls to the right side, he'll tell you
Speaker 7: that's not it now. In Arizona, there was one at
Speaker 7: bat last game he was real late ball near his hands.
Speaker 7: He felled it off with ugly swing, and I was
Speaker 7: telling Pepe in the broadcast side and I said, that's
Speaker 7: this one he wants because he's on the ball, he's
Speaker 7: a little bit late, and before you know what, he
Speaker 7: goes left center field, RBI double and Freddy two is
Speaker 7: a guy that you can now stay in one pattern.
Speaker 7: You can you don't order to play him sometimes in
Speaker 7: the outfield because he sprays the ball so well. But boy,
Speaker 7: you talk about never being in a hurry to hit,
Speaker 7: but also the same time understanding what he's gonna be attacked.
Speaker 7: He's pretty much an in tune with the pitcher and
Speaker 7: in tune with the swing right now, and.
Speaker 6: He's hitting in the cleanup spot. Tonight. Will Smith will
Speaker 6: bat third against the left handers Springs and Andy Pie
Speaker 6: His fifth key, k Hernandez will get the start at
Speaker 6: third base. Max Months he getting at least the start
Speaker 6: of the game off against the left ea tonight, so
Speaker 6: different looking lineup, Chris Taylor getting a chance. He'll be
Speaker 6: batting ninth in centerfield.
Speaker 7: You have a chance to go out there and give
Speaker 7: Craig Taylor some repetitions for Chris. I think the matter
Speaker 7: is that it's time. It seems like come sometimes he
Speaker 7: gives you to go to and then next time you
Speaker 7: just go back to the old habits. But it seems
Speaker 7: to me that he needs to find the consistency and
Speaker 7: knowing his role, He's not gonna be playing every day.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be sporadic to just make contact and go
Speaker 7: from there because we know that Dave Roberts is gonna
Speaker 7: continue to give him opportunities.
Speaker 6: The athletics are here, the A's and the Dodgers. It'll
Speaker 6: be Landing Neck getting the start against Jeffrey Springs as
Speaker 6: we get you set for game one of this three
Speaker 6: game series, Tim all right.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, as we count you down to first pitch.
Speaker 1: Dodger fans, what are you doing for dinner right now?

Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Athletics. Lennon Knack left handed, Jeffrey Springs
Speaker 1: on the mound for Sacramento, Oakland, Vegas, wherever they're from nowadays.
Speaker 3: First pitch, coming up at seven tens.
Speaker 2: This is the Otani rewy.
Speaker 5: One.
Speaker 6: Otani swings, knocks it on the ground up the middle
Speaker 6: of a ship and he has now hit in nine
Speaker 6: straight games. He kicks and deals and Otani bangs it
Speaker 6: to right field. That's a Bay shit coming into a
Speaker 6: score as Conforto, It's four nothing, a solid rip to
Speaker 6: right by Otani and he's two for four.
Speaker 2: Showy.
Speaker 1: Otani would end up going two for five on Sunday
Speaker 1: on the Mother's Day win over the Diamondbacks. He had
Speaker 1: an RBI and a run score as the Dodgers finished
Speaker 1: off their road trip with.
Speaker 3: An eight to one win or the Snakes.
Speaker 2: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. O.
Speaker 1: Hey, Kirsten now joins us from Dodger Stadium. Brought to

Speaker 3: Before we get to on the field. And a lot
Speaker 3: of injury news to get to Kirston. Very cool.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers of the Make a Wish Foundation coming together today.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so we actually have seven new players today. We
Speaker 8: got seven new Dodgers a part of the Make a
Speaker 8: Wish Foundation, and I had the privilege of spending some
Speaker 8: time with them as a few of them are interested
Speaker 8: after there. Of course, professional one day of being a
Speaker 8: Dodger big leaguer might have some interesting broadcast careers. So
Speaker 8: me as well as Joe Davis and Eric Carro's got
Speaker 8: to sit down and have some nice conversation with them
Speaker 8: about just different opportunities and working in sports and what
Speaker 8: it's like to be on the calls and how special
Speaker 8: that is. And then of course their day just kept
Speaker 8: on going. They got to play catch with some of
Speaker 8: the guys they're actually going to be throwing out the
Speaker 8: first pitch today. Dave Roberts gave them an incredible ceremonies
Speaker 8: with them signing their one day contracts. So we want
Speaker 8: to make memories here and these kids they deserve this
Speaker 8: and they battle their own different things, and so for
Speaker 8: them to be here today to celebrate their fandom and
Speaker 8: their love for Dodgers Baseball and now getting to be
Speaker 8: a part of Dodgers Baseball, it's really special. And so
Speaker 8: just to be a small part today, these are the
Speaker 8: best days to be honest.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. It brings a smile to everybody's face.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Dodger players, what's the latest on the injury front,
Speaker 1: Because you looked at the il, there's a long list
Speaker 1: of Dodgers.
Speaker 8: There is literally so long of a list right now
Speaker 8: that Dave Roberts pulled out a piece of paper during
Speaker 8: our media hastrom to go through everything. So let's just
Speaker 8: kind of to the high level bullet point. So first
Speaker 8: with Blake's he's someone that we've been kind of waiting
Speaker 8: to hear as just this throwing program when it's going
Speaker 8: to start. He hasn't played catch just yet. Dave roberts
Speaker 8: all the way on the road so that he was
Speaker 8: going to be seeing the team doctor. So he still
Speaker 8: is going to today ahead of the game. So hopefully
Speaker 8: we'll have more information afterwards. But Dave said that if
Speaker 8: everything goes well with the doctor, then he will start
Speaker 8: throwing his throwing. He will start his throwing program on Wednesday.
Speaker 8: Tyler Glass now has already started his throwing progression, so
Speaker 8: for him, until he starts getting closer to bullpens, they
Speaker 8: won't really have an idea as just his timeline to return.
Speaker 8: But the fact that he's picked up a baseball is
Speaker 8: great news for him. He's on the right path. Then
Speaker 8: you got on the position player side, Taascar Hernandez as
Speaker 8: well as Tommy Edmund. Tommy is eligible to come off
Speaker 8: the eyel at this point, but his ankle was just
Speaker 8: taking a little bit longer to heal. Today he was
Speaker 8: working with the training staff actually doing some kind of
Speaker 8: sprinting high knees, kind of more agility movements out here,
Speaker 8: doing some hurdles and stuff. So for him, he looked
Speaker 8: really good, just from my eye, but hopefully things continue
Speaker 8: to progress for him because running has been the biggest
Speaker 8: hold up for him, So hopefully we'll be seeing kind
Speaker 8: of we'll have good news. He's going to take part
Speaker 8: in a live VP along with Taskar hernandez An upcoming day,
Speaker 8: so they're actually going to be hitting off of Emmit Chian,
Speaker 8: So hopefully that goes well for Tao. He is available
Speaker 8: to off the IL after this homestand so excuse me,
Speaker 8: after this series against the A's, so hopefully, you know,
Speaker 8: Dave said that if things go well, he could be eligible,
Speaker 8: especially over the weekend, so hopefully we'll be seeing him returning.
Speaker 8: But he said today he's feeling good.
Speaker 1: Fingers crossed these guys get back sooner rather than later.
Speaker 3: Kirsten, appreciate it. We'll check you with you after the game.
Speaker 1: Still to come here on Marango Casino, Dodgers on Deck
Speaker 1: will dive deeper into this bitching matchup. David Vassa goes
Speaker 1: one on one with the future Hall of Famer Clayton
Speaker 1: Kerr shot. But up next, we got an injury report
Speaker 1: and we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts case the
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Athletics on this Tuesday night. First bitch is

Speaker 1: in twenty minutes, the latest from the future Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: All right, let's head back out to Dodger Stadium and
Speaker 1: check out with the Dodger skipper, Dave.
Speaker 5: Do you think the questions for Dave?
Speaker 4: Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 2: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: I think Landon's Uh, Landon's in a good spot. Landon,
Speaker 9: I think with this lineup, we don't know these guys
Speaker 9: very much. They do a good job of Uh there's lefties, righty's.
Speaker 9: They hit some homers. But I think with Landon's pitch mix,
Speaker 9: he should pitch well tonight. And I think for us,
Speaker 9: the bullpen's in a good spot, and so for him
Speaker 9: to get into the sixth inning, uh, the offense to
Speaker 9: do what we've been doing, you know, hopefully would bode
Speaker 9: well for our.
Speaker 4: Ball club to.
Speaker 2: Stop there yesterday.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I do got a little update. I had
Speaker 9: to kind of write this out because we've got a
Speaker 9: long list of injuries here. So Blake is going to
Speaker 9: see the doctor before the game, and if it checks
Speaker 9: out well from an orthopedic standpoint, Uh, he'll initiate a
Speaker 9: throwing program on Wednesday.
Speaker 10: Tyler.
Speaker 9: So, yeah, so Tyler through a started up throwing progression. Uh,
Speaker 9: he'll continue to work towards a bullpen and uh we'll
Speaker 9: have a more clear picture later this homestand but he
Speaker 9: has started throwing the baseball though.
Speaker 2: Yes, Tommy.
Speaker 9: D Yeah, Tommy and Tasker are doing some drills and
Speaker 9: then they're going to do a live batting practice with
Speaker 9: Emmett Shean, one of our one of our guys is
Speaker 9: going to come on Wednesday and they'll do a live
Speaker 9: VP with Emmett.
Speaker 3: Good to hear Emma Shean's name again.
Speaker 1: He is training his way back from Tommy John surgery
Speaker 1: as well. All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dug guy.
Speaker 1: When we continue here on Marago Casino Dodgers on deck,
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear from David say with all the latest.
Speaker 3: What's the word on Rookie Sasaki.
Speaker 1: Dave's gonna tell us when we come back as we
Speaker 1: lead out to first pitch on this Tuesday Night, Mookie
Speaker 1: Bets Bobblehead Night, Dodgers and Athletics on Tim Kase's a
Speaker 1: World Champion, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network as.
Speaker 2: We were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck
Speaker 2: on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball Dance.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers and Athletics started a three game set, landing
Speaker 1: knack on the mound.
Speaker 3: First pitch. It's sevent ten.
Speaker 2: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 2: This is Dodger insider David Base all right.
Speaker 1: DV mentioned it when we went to break what's going
Speaker 1: on with Roki Sasaki? Now the latest to go to
Speaker 1: the injured delicious moments ago?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Well, the velocity was down in each of his last
Speaker 5: two starts, Tim, so that was some sort of a
Speaker 5: red flag that he was not feeling good physically. And
Speaker 5: the Dodgers now have made this move by placing Roki
Speaker 5: Sazaki on the il with right shoulder impingement and recall
Speaker 5: JP Fireeyes and I got worried about this move around
Speaker 5: three o'clock this afternoon, but the Dodgers still did not
Speaker 5: want to make it public. They certainly have now, and look,
Speaker 5: this is a good thing for Roki Sazaki and the
Speaker 5: Dodgers in the long run. They can't keep running him
Speaker 5: out there and him compromising the bullpen not only the
Speaker 5: day that he pitches, but the days leading up to
Speaker 5: it and the days after it. So if he wasn't
Speaker 5: feeling right physically, this was the right move, all.
Speaker 1: Right, David Freddie Freeman, Man, what this guy did on
Speaker 1: this last road trip was pretty remarkable.
Speaker 3: Hitting near only four hundred on the season.
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, he had an incredible road trip that earned
Speaker 5: him National League Player of the Week. On this past
Speaker 5: ten game road trip for the Dodgers, Freddie hit four
Speaker 5: to seventy five with an OPS of thirteen hundred. He
Speaker 5: drove in sixteen runs, not only four home runs in
Speaker 5: three doubles in a triple, but in the process drove
Speaker 5: in sixteen runs, including a very special four for four
Speaker 5: day with a home run on Mother's Day this past Sunday.
Speaker 5: So Freddy is remarkable, and he told us if you
Speaker 5: remember on Saturday, Tim, you know, people just think that
Speaker 5: he shows up now and he's feeling great with that
Speaker 5: right ankle.
Speaker 4: That's not the case.
Speaker 5: Freddy let us in that it takes an hour and
Speaker 5: a half of treatment and preparation to get ready to
Speaker 5: play at seven ten, So he's still putting in the
Speaker 5: work to make sure that right ankle cooperates.
Speaker 3: David is driven by four. There's one thing we like.
Speaker 3: It's choices.
Speaker 1: Find yours with the four and F one fifty gas
Speaker 1: hybrid all electric tough this march can only be called
Speaker 1: the F one fifty. So Rookie Sasaki the late Dodger
Speaker 1: to go on the injured list with the right shoulder impingement.
Speaker 3: The list gets longer. For Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1: We just heard him a few minutes ago bring out
Speaker 1: that piece of paper with the update on the pinchers.
Speaker 1: What's the latest with ta Oscar Hernandez and Tommy Edmund
Speaker 1: dv Well.
Speaker 5: I got good news on those two guys because they
Speaker 5: were both working out on the field earlier today at
Speaker 5: about three point thirty, and I talked to Taoscar Hernandez
Speaker 5: after his workout. I should say that he was put
Speaker 5: through by the Dodgers' strength and conditioning team. They put
Speaker 5: him to work more than he works when he's playing
Speaker 5: and he's healthy, and a lot of players tell me that.
Speaker 5: I mean the way he was moving, he was ready
Speaker 5: to go. I think the last check mark will be tomorrow.
Speaker 5: How he comes in, how he feels and also they're
Speaker 5: going to try to simulate him getting hot and cooling
Speaker 5: off for three outs, just to make sure he's able
Speaker 5: to heat back up. Simulating a baseball game. For Tommy Edmund,
Speaker 5: I notice he be wrapping on his right ankle, but
Speaker 5: he was doing straight lines and agility drills because on
Speaker 5: Sunday on Mother's Day, remember he joined us as well
Speaker 5: and let us know that that's the last hurdle for
Speaker 5: him running in a straight line. So he went through
Speaker 5: that today and I expect both those guys to be
Speaker 5: activated sometime on this homestand.
Speaker 1: Dave real quick with the left hander on the mound
Speaker 1: for the Athletics, that means a couple of guys get
Speaker 1: an opportunity to start, Keyky Hernandez at third base and.
Speaker 3: Chris Taylor getting a shot in the center field.
Speaker 5: I mean, if Chris Taylor is not going to play
Speaker 5: on a night like tonight, then why is he on
Speaker 5: the roster. I mean, you have to play Chris Taylor
Speaker 5: on a night like tonight. And I love that keyk
Speaker 5: Hernandez is getting the start at third base. Max Mounsey
Speaker 5: is a big part of this team, but until he
Speaker 5: gets it going consistently. You've got to be able to
Speaker 5: go to a guy like keyk Hernandez. I love keik
Speaker 5: against the left hander tonight.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, David, great information, got the breaking
Speaker 1: news with Rookie Sasaki. Got it all in with the
Speaker 1: best Dodger insider, David Vasse. Coming up next on Morongo

Speaker 1: We go back to the magical year of nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers and the then Oakland A's squaring off of
Speaker 1: the Fall Classic, Game one, Dodgers Stadium, October fifteenth, Dodgers
Speaker 1: trailing the A's and the ninth inning Dennis Eckersley on
Speaker 1: the mound facing Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 6: Sack's waiting on deck, but the game right now is
Speaker 6: at the plate, high fly ball into white field.
Speaker 8: She is gone.
Speaker 6: In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible
Speaker 6: has happened.
Speaker 1: Ah the Great Vincecully with the call Kurk Gibson the
Speaker 1: home run to beat the Oakland A's Game one of
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty eight eight World Series. The Dodgers would
Speaker 1: go on and win in five games. The Haffey Magical
Speaker 1: Moment brought to you by Hoffey hot Dogs, Hafey So Cows,
Speaker 1: local treasure for nearly one hundred years. Haffey hot Dogs,
Speaker 1: local and so great. Let me continue here on Dodgers
Speaker 1: on deck. We all check you with Jose Mota for
Speaker 1: leading up to first pitch in the ravine Dodgers and Athletics.
Speaker 1: I'm Tim Kass, the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 2: Now, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your
Speaker 2: home for the Blue All season Law Law.
Speaker 1: Dodgers back home to start a nine game homestand first
Speaker 1: up the Athletics landing neck Jeffrey Springs the pitching matchup
Speaker 1: in the series opener, first pitch at seven to ten.
Speaker 3: The TEP back out to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: David Vasay and Jose Motives standing by.
Speaker 4: Thanks Tim, We just got the news.
Speaker 5: We talked about it earlier that the Dodgers have placed
Speaker 5: rokies Azaki on the injured list with right shoulder in pingchment. Jose,
Speaker 5: I guess this explains while the fastball velocity was dipping
Speaker 5: towards ninety four miles an hour.
Speaker 7: Clearly explains it why he was not letting loose. We
Speaker 7: always talk about guy's extension when the balls troubled out
Speaker 7: of their hand in the consistent release point.
Speaker 4: He just didn't have that.
Speaker 7: He's a tall guy who had good extension because of that,
Speaker 7: But we knew, Dave, it's not holding back because of
Speaker 7: wanting to find the strike zone.
Speaker 4: Holding back because he just did not feel well.
Speaker 5: Makes sense. When you talk about a shoulder impingement, we
Speaker 5: always hear about maybe trying to get better velocity or movement,
Speaker 5: or throwing a slider by changing your arm slot. Are
Speaker 5: you aware of Sazaki changing the arm slot?
Speaker 7: I don't haven't seen anything that tells me that sometimes
Speaker 7: pronating if a fastball could create that. I know guys
Speaker 7: that I've talked in the past that I've told me that,
Speaker 7: you know, throwing a cutter has done it, But we
Speaker 7: haven't seen anything from a fort seamer to the slider
Speaker 7: to the you know, the.
Speaker 4: Split or forth well that he throws. So beyond that,
Speaker 4: I'm guessing that pretty much you.
Speaker 7: Know, getting insto the workload here in the US as
Speaker 7: opposed to Japan, the different things he's had to go through.
Speaker 4: But nonetheless we knew that.
Speaker 7: We just we're not seeing the best version of rookie Sasaki,
Speaker 7: no doubt.
Speaker 5: Hopefully this will give him an opportunity to get healthy
Speaker 5: and get on the right track, because he's only pitching
Speaker 5: once a week and he's putting the Dodger bullpen in
Speaker 5: a bad spot before and after.
Speaker 7: If he's not healthy, it's a good thing for the
Speaker 7: Dodgers right now, truly speaking, and it's a good thing
Speaker 7: for Sosaki to clear his head because sometimes his eyes
Speaker 7: are one to tell you that he doesn't feel comfortable.
Speaker 7: He is not confident, and hopefully by watching games and
Speaker 7: slowing things down and getting stronger, I mean this guy's
Speaker 7: sign because he wants to win. He wanted to come
Speaker 7: to the US earlier than anybody, but the youngest player
Speaker 7: ever posted in Japan, rookie Sasaki, wanted to come here
Speaker 7: for a reason to contribute, to have success, and it's
Speaker 7: not happening right now. But you know what, he's still
Speaker 7: a young man, still a long row ahead of him.
Speaker 7: Hopefully the rights of them will be teedging because they
Speaker 7: need him at full All right.
Speaker 5: Let's turn our attention to tonight's opponent, the Athletics, who
Speaker 5: are wandering in Sacramento until they end up in Vegas.
Speaker 5: They're not a pushover. They're not the Pirates, they're not
Speaker 5: the Rockies. They're gonna give the Dodgers a series.
Speaker 7: A very good team, specially on the road without thirteen
Speaker 7: and seven records. In fact, they have hit mohomers on
Speaker 7: the road than in Sacramento, where you think the balls flying.
Speaker 7: All the teams visiting there have feasted on their pitching,
Speaker 7: but their pitching has not done their job in stopping
Speaker 7: the other offenses. But this team Marcasse is going to
Speaker 7: be scrappy. They have players that put the ball in play,
Speaker 7: a lot of hungry young players, and I think you know,
Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to seeing to see how they stop them.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers know their hands are full of teams like
Speaker 7: this because it's almost like the unknown where you got
Speaker 7: to do your scouting reports on the field sometimes kind
Speaker 7: of take you a couple of innings. Hopefully because they
Speaker 7: know about Jeffrey Springs, they can go out there making justment.
Speaker 7: Since I was thinking about this day, two hole sec
Speaker 7: of steels the last lefty they face in relief. Same
Speaker 7: approach you need to have against a guy that averages
Speaker 7: ninety miles an hours on his fastball to make sure
Speaker 7: you have successful because he really prides himself in soft
Speaker 7: contact and a lot of soft pop ups.
Speaker 5: I love having Key k Hernandez at third base against
Speaker 5: the lefty tonight.
Speaker 4: Yes, Kicko knows how to play position.
Speaker 7: He's so fast, he reacts so well, he has great
Speaker 7: instincts and keick you knows how to cover line the
Speaker 7: line and also keick it with the arm can cover
Speaker 7: and help Mookie bets whole lot too.
Speaker 5: You got your trustee Glove with you again filling in
Speaker 5: for Rick Monday tonight and this series. How many opportunities
Speaker 5: do you expect to get? Quite a few, because when
Speaker 5: I'm booth over, you think you're gonna get more.
Speaker 7: I always hear the client's over here when I'm on
Speaker 7: the other side. So but I look forward to perhaps
Speaker 7: catching one for Dwayne.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll see if you catch one for Dwayne
Speaker 5: between now and the time Rick Monday returns, which will
Speaker 5: be towards.
Speaker 7: The end of this nine game homestand and if I
Speaker 7: drop one, will I hear the end of it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Never, I'll be on you the rest of the day
Speaker 4: after I plaid a glove.
Speaker 5: My show up now, Mazon, No thanks, Ose, We'll send
Speaker 5: it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 2: This is high and tight.
Speaker 5: Even though the Dodgers have the best record in baseball,
Speaker 5: even though they're doing pretty well, there's something missing. And
Speaker 5: that's something whereas number twenty two And he'll be back
Speaker 5: on the mound on Saturday against the Angels, that pillar
Speaker 5: of strength, competitive spirit, back on the mound at Dodger
Speaker 5: Stadium in Clayton. Krushaw, thank you for the time. Great
Speaker 5: to see you back from Oklahoma City. Wow, what an intro,
Speaker 5: Thanks Dave.
Speaker 10: Good to be back.
Speaker 4: It's been a long road.
Speaker 5: It hasn't been easy. How gratifying is it that that
Speaker 5: moment is coming up here Saturday?
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right, this has been It has been a
Speaker 10: hard one for sure, But yeah, I'm super excited to
Speaker 10: get back out here. More than anything, just you know,
Speaker 10: tired of taking up space. You know, I want to
Speaker 10: I want to contribute. I want to help the team out.
Speaker 10: And so I'm I'm excited to get out there and
Speaker 10: start getting some people out and uh, you know, making
Speaker 10: a positive contribution.
Speaker 5: Even though it was rehab assignments in the minor leagues.
Speaker 5: How good did it feel to be out there and
Speaker 5: actually pitching again.
Speaker 10: Well, it feel good to be focused on pitching, you know.
Speaker 10: I think, you know, the last few times I pitched
Speaker 10: last year, just focus on how much my foot was hurting,
Speaker 10: you know. And so I think now kind of shifting
Speaker 10: the gears towards just how do I get people out,
Speaker 10: and you know, just focusing more on the next pitch
Speaker 10: as opposed to what hurts as nice, you know. So yeah,
Speaker 10: physically I feel good and it's been a it's been
Speaker 10: a hard road, but now that we're kind of on
Speaker 10: the tail end of that and starting the new chapter
Speaker 10: of actually getting the pitch has been Uh, it is exciting.
Speaker 5: When you set out on this rehab assignment, you talked
Speaker 5: about the toe cooperating, the foot cooperating. How long did
Speaker 5: you have to kick it before it cooperated? I still
Speaker 5: kick it.
Speaker 10: I still kick it is cooperating, you know. I think, Yeah,
Speaker 10: the last two weeks especially, I would say that I
Speaker 10: can feel the strength coming back a little bit and
Speaker 10: I feel like I can use it a little bit better.
Speaker 10: So I think it'll just continue to get better with time,
Speaker 10: and the more reps I get, the better. So no
Speaker 10: time like the president to start start getting some reps.
Speaker 5: Even though you've had the career that you've had, you're
Speaker 5: coming back from a couple of surgeries on the same
Speaker 5: leg to get the results you've got. Did that mean
Speaker 5: something to you? Did it validate anything that maybe you
Speaker 5: had doubts about?
Speaker 10: Well, I think anytime you can get people out, you know,
Speaker 10: I think that's important. And so that's why I enjoy
Speaker 10: going to Triple A because it's like, you know, these
Speaker 10: these guys are all good hitters, they're all you know,
Speaker 10: right on the cusp of being big leaguers. So it
Speaker 10: kind of gives some feedback right away. And obviously it's
Speaker 10: not the big leagues, but it's important to get that feedback,
Speaker 10: and I'll get some more feedback on Saturday for sure.
Speaker 5: Hey, the feedback that I saw, I mean I was
Speaker 5: happy to see it. That was an old school kershaw
Speaker 5: coming off the mound like you did, and turning and
Speaker 5: throwing to make a play off the mound. I mean,
Speaker 5: that's who you are. I mean, did you know you
Speaker 5: still had that?
Speaker 10: I just it's only in there if I need it.
Speaker 10: I guess I don't practice that too much. But no,
Speaker 10: that was that was a fun play. And yeah, I
Speaker 10: guess it's a good sign that the foot feels good.
Speaker 5: So it's great. I'm going to ask you a question
Speaker 5: that people keep asking me. What motivates you at this
Speaker 5: stage of your career to go through all this to
Speaker 5: come back?
Speaker 10: Well, I mean I think, my god, I think not
Speaker 10: letting an injury be the reason I stopped. I think
Speaker 10: that's probably the main thing. Look, if I get out
Speaker 10: there and get sheld and I'm not any good anymore
Speaker 10: and just the time is to the time, then that's
Speaker 10: one thing. But I don't want it to be because
Speaker 10: I didn't rehab an injury well, or I let something
Speaker 10: get the best of me, you know, So if another
Speaker 10: hitter gets the best of me, that's one thing. But
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna let myself do it to myself, if
Speaker 10: that makes sense, And so that's I think that's the
Speaker 10: biggest motivating factor. Another one is my family, you know.
Speaker 10: I think Ellen and my kids, they're both they all
Speaker 10: they all want me to keep going. And Ellen's super
Speaker 10: supportive of wanting me to do it as long as
Speaker 10: I can, as long as I want to, and so
Speaker 10: I mean if she wasn't as supportive as she was,
Speaker 10: it'd be a lot harder. So I think that's a
Speaker 10: huge motivating factor too.
Speaker 5: Before I let you go, when you look at this
Speaker 5: team and where it's at when you come back on Saturday,
Speaker 5: do you look at it from a ninety degree angle,
Speaker 5: looking down and seeing how it all comes together? How
Speaker 5: do you look at this team right now?
Speaker 10: I look at it, you know, I've been watching the
Speaker 10: games on TV just everybody else, and it's a great team,
Speaker 10: you know. I think, you know, forty games in you
Speaker 10: can see a lot of things that are going really well.
Speaker 10: And for me personally, I just want to be a
Speaker 10: part of it. So I'm excited to start contributing and
Speaker 10: hopefully for a long time all the way through October.
Speaker 5: No doubt, far from over. Kershaw. Don't forget it.
Speaker 10: I hear you. I like it, Thanks Dave.
Speaker 5: So great to have Clayton Kershaw back. It'll be even
Speaker 5: better and the world will be right. The baseball world
Speaker 5: will be right when Kershaw's back on the mount on
Speaker 5: Saturday against the Angels, the uz and Oskar Hey sung
Speaker 5: Kim Kershaw.

Speaker 1: Spring on the mound four and three for a one Erora,
Speaker 1: thirty two year old left Tander, thirtieth round pick of
Speaker 1: the Rangers back in twenty fifteen out of Apple ash
Speaker 1: And State. He signed for one thousand dollars. He's grinded
Speaker 1: his way to the Major leagues, battle through injuries the
Speaker 1: last year and a half. At eight season the Big
Speaker 1: Leagues Rangers, Red Sox Race, and now his first with
Speaker 1: the Athletics after coming over to trade from Tampa this
Speaker 1: past offseason. Making his ninth start this season, he's finally healthy.
Speaker 1: He's one and oh a one to sixty for ERA
Speaker 1: and two starts in the month of May. He's two
Speaker 1: and three at a seven sixty six RRA and five
Speaker 1: starts in April. Last time out, five innings, two runs,
Speaker 1: five hits, four strikeouts, and a no decision against the Mariners.
Speaker 1: He's made only one career appearance against the Dodgers. That
Speaker 1: was in August to twenty eighteen with the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 1: He tossed his scoreless eighth and ninth inning in a
Speaker 1: Rangers eight four loss Landon Knack on the mound for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. The Knacker, the twenty seven year old right hander,
Speaker 1: second round pick in twenty twenty at a Tennessee State,
Speaker 1: made his major league debut last season. He's been up,
Speaker 1: he's been down, he's been back up, he's been back down.
Speaker 1: Now he's back up with the Dodgers, and it looks
Speaker 1: really comfortable. Making his fourth start, fifth appearance this season
Speaker 1: at the big league level, and last time out, you
Speaker 1: can make a case it was his best one yet.
Speaker 1: Five shutout innings for Landon Neck, four hits, five strikeouts
Speaker 1: in a win over the Miami Marlins.
Speaker 3: He needs to duplicate that.
Speaker 1: Tonight's against the Athletics, so he's facing them for the
Speaker 1: first time in his career. So it's Landon Nack two
Speaker 1: and zero in the season, four to sixty one ERA
Speaker 1: against the veteran left hander Jeffrey Spring, four and three
Speaker 1: with a four to eighty one ERRA. Dodgers Athletics were
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes away for first pitch.
Speaker 3: He's to the game. Are next.
Speaker 1: I'm Tim Kasi's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 2: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your home
Speaker 2: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 1: It's a Dodgers and as Lennox started a three game
Speaker 1: set beginning of a nine game homestand landed nac Jeffrey
Speaker 1: spring the pitching matchup first pitch of.
Speaker 3: Seven to ten.
Speaker 1: When the boys in Blue play at home, it's important
Speaker 1: they have the right plan to protect their house. The
Speaker 1: same applies to your home. Always have a plan in
Speaker 1: follow fire safety tips. For example, use it or install
Speaker 1: ignition resistant materials around your house. Use fire resistant materials
Speaker 1: when building a deck, replace events with ember and flame
Speaker 1: resistant vents. Use non combustible fencing materials for the portion
Speaker 1: that connects to your house. For more about these tips
Speaker 1: and to find out others, visit fire.
Speaker 3: Dot CA dot go.
Speaker 1: All right, let's tape back out to the booth one
Speaker 1: final time before first pitch. Tip Neverer Jose Mota, Guys.
Speaker 6: Tam, thanks again, Jeffrey Springs. The lefty will start for
Speaker 6: the A's. Land and Nac the right hand are starting
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers and Land and Knack last time out,
Speaker 6: five solid innings, four hits, no runs in a win
Speaker 6: over Miami.
Speaker 4: He looked good.
Speaker 7: He looked good because his fastball was commanded and I
Speaker 7: talked to Glenn Nack about that right after that outing,
Speaker 7: and he trusted the fastball.
Speaker 4: He put her in good spots. It wasn't just because
Speaker 4: it was the Marlins.
Speaker 7: I mean there are medicining team at Thompson as the
Speaker 7: dollaris in that series there and also here. But it's
Speaker 7: trusting that when the ball leave your hand's going to
Speaker 7: be in a good spot. And he did not miss
Speaker 7: a whole lot. Tim Old the medal of the play.
Speaker 6: And for the Dodgers against Jeffrey Springs, one of the
Speaker 6: keys of the game could be the running game. Now
Speaker 6: he's a left handed pitcher, but opposing base dealers are
Speaker 6: twelve for their last twelve against him.
Speaker 7: Got to get on base first. A guy that also
Speaker 7: induces into a lot of soft contacts. So if you
Speaker 7: get away from the soft pop up, ahead of the
Speaker 7: ball and under the baseball today he should be disfined.
Speaker 7: But he's not going to overwhelm me with velocity. Average
Speaker 7: is about ninety with that fastball and then slider change
Speaker 7: up on a sweeper. And first of all, the Dodgers
Speaker 7: have done a very good job adapting from the power
Speaker 7: lefties we saw here in the first homestand with schoobol
Speaker 7: and sale to the software throwing lefties and using the
Speaker 7: air part of the fields. So hopefully that approached middle
Speaker 7: de other way. We'll be there here tonight.
Speaker 6: Speaking of lefties, Dave Roberts announcing before the game that
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw will make his return to the big league
Speaker 6: club Saturday, and he'll start against the Angels. But tonight
Speaker 6: it is landon Neck and Jeffrey Springs as the Dodgers
Speaker 6: hosts the Ags him.
Speaker 1: All right, first pitch coming up, it's the Dodgers and
Speaker 1: the A's. It's the series opener. Yes, the Athletics in
Speaker 1: town landon Neck will tell the rubber when we return.
Speaker 1: Dodgers looking to stay atop the NL West interleague style
Speaker 1: against the Athletics and joined everybody, I'm Tim Kats's.
Speaker 3: The world champion. Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network
