Speaker 2: and six on this season. The Boys in Blue on
Speaker 2: a little bit of heater right now, winners of four
Speaker 2: in a row. Today in Texas, they look to make
Speaker 2: it five straight. With Rochi Sasaki on the mound, is
Speaker 2: first time facing the Rangers. First pitch from Globe Live
Speaker 2: Field is coming up at one oh five. Coming up
Speaker 2: here over the next hour on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear for the manager himself, Dave Roberts. We'll
Speaker 2: check in with Max Munsey as David Vasse goes one
Speaker 2: on one with the Dodger third baseman. We'll preview this
Speaker 2: great pitching matchup after last night's great pitching matchup in
Speaker 2: the series opener, we got your Dodgers magical moment. Kirsten
Speaker 2: Watson will visit with Tommy Edmond we've got your prize
Speaker 2: picks play of the Day. Just a few minutes, we'll
Speaker 2: send it out to the Galloping Motors broadcast booth with
Speaker 2: Steven Nelson and rig Monday. Well, last night it was
Speaker 2: Yoshi Yamamoto and Jacob de Grom. Great pitching matchup on paper,
Speaker 2: and it lived up to the hype bo starters would
Speaker 2: go seven innings last night. Yamamoto seven shutout innings. He
Speaker 2: scattered just five hits while punching out Teddy through a
Speaker 2: season high one hundred and two pitches. Jacob de Grom,
Speaker 2: the former Cy Young Award winner, seven innings, allowed just
Speaker 2: one run on three hits, punching out seven. His mistake
Speaker 2: came to the first batter of the game, Tommy.
Speaker 3: Edmond one and then swings it, hits it high in
Speaker 3: the air right field, pushing back toward the wall.
Speaker 1: Its gone. Tommy with a tight.
Speaker 4: To kick things off, going into the bullpen in right
Speaker 4: center field, and just like that, Edmund's seventh home run
Speaker 4: of the year makes it one nothing.
Speaker 2: Dodgers. Tommy Evan goes deep. He's got seven home runs
Speaker 2: already on the season through twenty one games. Dodgers with
Speaker 2: a one nothing lead, It was a great pitching match
Speaker 2: up the rest of the way, as the Dodgers next
Speaker 2: fourteen of the sixteen hitters would be retired by Jacob deGrom.
Speaker 2: Ya'm a moto and de Grom went back and forth
Speaker 2: for seven innings. Just that one mistake, the home run
Speaker 2: to Tommy Edmond, was the difference. In the ninth, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers with a key insurance run thanks to ta Oscar.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to start this road trip right. A
Speaker 3: lead one to nothing in the ninth can add more.
Speaker 3: The one two pitch ta Oskar takes it the other way.
Speaker 3: That's so base hit to right field Edman. Truck's hold.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers double the lead once again. Ta Oscar with
Speaker 4: two strikes delivers.
Speaker 2: Ta Oscar Hernandez with the RBI single, scoring Tommy Edman.
Speaker 2: Before that, Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked, so tay Oscar
Speaker 2: made him pay. Two batters later, Will Smith the sackfly,
Speaker 2: scoring Chris Taylor, the pinch runner, Dodgers a three nothing lead.
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott got the bottom of the ninth inning, Corey
Speaker 2: Seeger the form me Dodger a leadoffs single, then at
Speaker 2: fielder's choice one out runners on first, Garcia single to left.
Speaker 2: Now runners on first and second with two outs, Josh
Speaker 2: Young would double hit into a double play, the old
Speaker 2: five to four to three double play to end the game,
Speaker 2: started by Max Munzi. Jung didn't run hard all the
Speaker 2: way down the first base line, thinking was a foul ball.
Speaker 2: It was fair, and the Dodgers get to win three
Speaker 2: to nothing over the Texas Rangers. Yoshi Yamamoto now three
Speaker 2: and one on the season. Dodgers with the victory, improved
Speaker 2: a fifteen and six overall. They've now won four in
Speaker 2: a row. Looking to make it five straight. With Roki
Speaker 2: Sasaki on the mound, first pitch coming up at one
Speaker 2: to five and with more we head out to the
Speaker 2: gallp in Mooters broadcast booth as we welcome in Steven
Speaker 2: Nelson and Rick Monday. Guys appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Tim.
Speaker 3: We are back at Globe black Field. Quick turnaround for
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and Rangers for Game two of this series.
Speaker 3: Moll and gotta go back to last night. We mentioned
Speaker 3: it several times on the broadcast, but you know, once
Speaker 3: we got back to the hotel last night, I was
Speaker 3: sitting in there and kind of reflect on what.
Speaker 5: We saw that was just a good old fashioned ball game.
Speaker 6: It was. I got actually a lot of phone calls
Speaker 6: last night later on how entertaining it was, and a
Speaker 6: lot of people that were here kind of passed that
Speaker 6: same information. Around two. It was. It was one of
Speaker 6: those games to begin with you say, well, okay, fine.
Speaker 6: Two pitches into the game, Tommy Edmund taking over for
Speaker 6: Shoheo Tany in the ladoff spot, hits a home run
Speaker 6: his seventh season. I mean, he's flexing the muscles, and
Speaker 6: you figure, okay, this is going to be an onslaught,
Speaker 6: and then it turned into a pitchers battle on both sides.
Speaker 6: Then is that case of saying, well, is it because
Speaker 6: of good pitching? Is it because of lack of hitting?
Speaker 6: Last night?
Speaker 3: Is because of very good pitching? Excellent pitching? A Yamamoto
Speaker 3: outdueling Jacob de Grom. De Grom, a two times sal
Speaker 3: Young Award winner, Yamamoto has talked openly about wanting to
Speaker 3: be the first Japanese player to ever win a SA
Speaker 3: Young in Major League Baseball, and right now he is
Speaker 3: firmly planted among the top contenders in the National League.
Speaker 3: I mean his continue you'd growth, mo is one thing
Speaker 3: you combine that with the moxie and the presence in
Speaker 3: the command on the mound that he has. Now, I mean,
Speaker 3: you're throwing that aceword around with him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he looks much more I made of comment
Speaker 6: last night. He looks much more relaxed and in control
Speaker 6: instead of trying to find things, whether it be the
Speaker 6: strike zone, whether it be a new baseball that he's
Speaker 6: not used to that he fits with in Japan, whether
Speaker 6: it be learning the umpires, the opposing hitters. Well, now
Speaker 6: he's got that knowledge that he's been able to cumulate
Speaker 6: and seven innings and struck out ten, did not walk
Speaker 6: a batter in last night's book, and really set the
Speaker 6: tone in the first ending, three batters up, two of
Speaker 6: them strike out. Then he strikes out three mixed in
Speaker 6: with the double and the second And that was a huge,
Speaker 6: huge statement that he made. And for the Dodgers, yeah,
Speaker 6: they needed it because there was not a great deal
Speaker 6: of offense. Edmund was three for four hit a home run,
Speaker 6: but the rest of the team combined just two for
Speaker 6: twenty six.
Speaker 3: And now they're in position where they can go on
Speaker 3: this Saturday for their second winning streak of at least
Speaker 3: five games. This year's been a little bit of a
Speaker 3: roller coaster. They start off eight to zero, then they
Speaker 3: dropped six of nine. Now they've won four straight and
Speaker 3: as a tie for the best record through twenty one
Speaker 3: games in a season that the Dodgers have ever seen
Speaker 3: since nineteen seventy seven, when that team went seventeen and.
Speaker 6: Four out the game. Yeap, that was a pretty good team.
Speaker 6: In fact, in my estimation and talking to some of
Speaker 6: the former teammates I had in that year, I think
Speaker 6: that was the best team I was privileged to play on.
Speaker 6: Oh yes, we won an eighty one, the World Championship,
Speaker 6: we got to the World Series in seventy eight, but
Speaker 6: I think the seventy seven team, with all the different
Speaker 6: attachments that you have from the pitching, from the hitting
Speaker 6: to how you played the game. Obviously that record stand
Speaker 6: Aga infield was there too, that was the best team
Speaker 6: that I was ever a part of.
Speaker 3: And this Dodger club in twenty twenty five trying to
Speaker 3: keep pace with that out the gates. Another great pitching
Speaker 3: matchup Roki Sasaki against former Dodger Nathan Evaldi. First pitch
Speaker 3: coming shortly tim We'll talk about that pitching matchup a
Speaker 3: little bit later.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Nelly. As we count you down

Speaker 2: night while mimicking his Showy Otani with a home run
Speaker 2: to lead off the game. Tommy Evan last night three
Speaker 2: for four, a home run and RBI. He had three
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers five hits last night in a three
Speaker 2: to nothing shutout of the Texas Rangers. And afterwards, talk
Speaker 2: with our Kirsten Watson.

Speaker 8: You know, I had some big shoes with a show
Speaker 8: usually being in that leadoff spot. But just tried to
Speaker 8: do my best impression of him. Yeah, it's a kind
Speaker 8: of a position I'm familiar with, so felt good to
Speaker 8: be back there.
Speaker 1: You were going up against Jacob Dubrom. He was excellent tonight,
Speaker 1: but you were.
Speaker 7: Able to get to him early in the game of
Speaker 7: that home run.
Speaker 1: What were you seeing that bat? Yeah, he's nasty.
Speaker 8: I mean, he's been one of the best pitcher in
Speaker 8: the game for a long time, so you gotta be
Speaker 8: ready to hit against him. You know, you can't just
Speaker 8: let him get into the count. And you know, he
Speaker 8: just did a really good job throughout the game.
Speaker 7: No secret, this game was a pictures tool tonight. Playing
Speaker 7: behind Yoshinobu, what were you see from him? And how
Speaker 7: excellent was.
Speaker 9: He on the mount?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, once again, Yoshi was you know, pitched
Speaker 8: like the ace that he is, And yeah, he's been
Speaker 8: lights out all year. I wouldn't want to stand in
Speaker 8: the box against him. He just got I mean he
Speaker 8: was doing six pitches today and you know, commanding them
Speaker 8: all and it's it's he's he's a tough pitcher and
Speaker 8: splat around.
Speaker 1: To face it. He talked about just playing on the road.
Speaker 7: How important was it for you guys, just to set
Speaker 7: the tone on the start of this road trip.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know we didn't have that that uh, that
Speaker 8: first road trip wasn't great. So to win the first
Speaker 8: game this time around, you know, felt pretty good against
Speaker 8: a really good team too, and so you know, hopefully
Speaker 8: we canna have a little bit better tare this time.
Speaker 7: We talked about sepping in for Show. Heyo, Tony, he's
Speaker 7: away for the team for a very good reason. That's
Speaker 7: him and Amy got welcoming their first child. If you
Speaker 7: can give him any advice, if he happens to be
Speaker 7: watching right now, what would it be.

Speaker 10: gonna drop the bomb on us, Uh, you know at
Speaker 10: some point, you know, on his own timing, his own timing.
Speaker 10: So I don't think. I haven't heard anything and don't
Speaker 10: know when he's gonna come back.
Speaker 9: Okay, we've all noticed that Blake Trenon has him pitched
Speaker 9: in almost a week. Why is that and does is
Speaker 9: that related to Evan Phillips being here today?
Speaker 10: Yeah, so Blake has had some forum tightness the last
Speaker 10: four five days and he was getting up to go
Speaker 10: into the game yesterday and felt that, saying tightness. So
Speaker 10: we're gonna retro him, put him on the I L
Speaker 10: he's gonna get some get a scan today. It was
Speaker 10: just some some forum tightness, so we want to get
Speaker 10: to the bottom of it. Don't know how long it'll be.

Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck, we'll check.
Speaker 5: In with DV.
Speaker 2: He'll go one on one with Max Munsey coming up
Speaker 2: in about twenty five minutes. As we're leading you up
Speaker 2: to first pitch on this Saturday, Dodgers in Texas to
Speaker 2: take on the Rangers. I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue Whole Season log.
Speaker 2: Leading up to Dodgers and Rangers on this Saturday from
Speaker 2: Globe Livefield in Texas. Ro Kie Sasaki on the mound,
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at.
Speaker 1: One five, joining Tim kats on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 9: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 5: All right, DV.
Speaker 2: The news came out a few minutes ago. Officially the
Speaker 2: move was made. Evan Phillips activated Blake Trinan on the
Speaker 2: injured list. We just heard you talking to Dave Roberts
Speaker 2: about this. Is this alarming? Is this concerning for the Dodgers?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, for sure, right forum tightness, that's not something
Speaker 9: that is a week or two. I know Dave Roberts
Speaker 9: talked about back dating it, but yeah, i'd you know
Speaker 9: when you're talking about right forearm tightness. And let's not
Speaker 9: forget Blake Trinan was among the relief pitchers that were
Speaker 9: pushed to the limits last year during the postseason. If
Speaker 9: you think back to Game five of the World Series,
Speaker 9: he threw more pitches in that game than he ever
Speaker 9: had in his career. So think about it, graderol Copek, Phillips, Trinan,
Speaker 9: all those guys were pushed to the limits and now
Speaker 9: we're seeing the residivisual effects of the cost of doing that.
Speaker 9: And obviously it was worth it. They all would not
Speaker 9: change a thing, but you have to imagine the workload
Speaker 9: of last year has some sort of residual effects. So yeah,
Speaker 9: I don't I don't see Blake Trening coming back anytime soon.
Speaker 2: And keep in mind he had Tommy john surgery in
Speaker 2: November twenty two, missed all of twenty three recovering from
Speaker 2: Tommy Johns surgery. Not to say that it's going to
Speaker 2: get to there, but you know, just keep that in mind.
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, David's driven by four. There's one thing we like.
Speaker 2: Its choices. Fine yours. With the fort f one to
Speaker 2: fifty gas hybrid, all electric, tough, this march can only
Speaker 2: be called the f one fifty. On a brighter side, David,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers got a special visitor today.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the one and only Brent Honeywell listen here. He
Speaker 9: lives in the Dallas Fort Worth area. He's a free agent.
Speaker 9: Nobody has signed him yet and he came by to
Speaker 9: surprise his teammates. But they had the last laugh as
Speaker 9: they surprised him with his World Series ring and it
Speaker 9: was funny. Before he went into the clubhouse, he was
Speaker 9: telling me he wanted his ring presented at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 9: He was not going to accept it. Anywhere else, but
Speaker 9: his teammates surprised him in the clubhouse here at Globe
Speaker 9: Live Field and Dave Roberts told us he got choked
Speaker 9: up and they took a photo. It's on the Dodgers
Speaker 9: social media. So yeah, it was great to see him.

Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 9: Rick, what a great game last night, A great pitcher's
Speaker 9: duel between de Gram and Yamamoto. But that ninth inning
Speaker 9: really gave us a lot to talk about.
Speaker 6: You know, Steven Hilson and I were talking about it
Speaker 6: in the in the first segment of the pregame show
Speaker 6: about that ballgame. I mean, it was just a very
Speaker 6: well played game. Really on both sides. If you look
Speaker 6: at it, there was defense, obviously, the pitching was marvelous,
Speaker 6: absolutely terrific. I know there's some people who say, well
Speaker 6: there wasn't much hitting is a result of very good pitching.
Speaker 6: That was kind of the deal. The Dodgers Also they've
Speaker 6: been able to tighten up the defense, and I think
Speaker 6: though the way that they have approached the game, quite frankly,
Speaker 6: after some frustrating losses in that most recent homestand and
Speaker 6: for them to come out last night and to make
Speaker 6: a statement, and what a statement Tommy Edmond made. I mean,
Speaker 6: he feels in for showheo. Tony must be thinking, well,
Speaker 6: somebody's going to go hit the ball out of the ballpark.
Speaker 6: He connects for number seven on the second pitch of
Speaker 6: the ballgame, you figure it's going to be a landslide.
Speaker 6: It proved not to be that way. But I agree
Speaker 6: with you same thing we talked about in the booth
Speaker 6: last night. That was a terrific baseball game.
Speaker 9: It really was. In that ninth inning, Like you said,
Speaker 9: the Dodger defense really came to play, in particular Max
Speaker 9: Muncy Rick, who has had a rocky start to the season.
Speaker 9: I was really happy for him to make those plays.
Speaker 6: And he made some big plays. And that play that
Speaker 6: he made in the ninth inning proved to be a
Speaker 6: real big, big play. There's no question about that. Because
Speaker 6: a leadoff single, then you've got the next guy the
Speaker 6: very first pitch, and that being Kevin Pillar. Yeah, Kevin
Speaker 6: Pilark came on and he hit that smash and there
Speaker 6: was a dive and a stop by Moncie and he
Speaker 6: was able to throw the run around. It proved to
Speaker 6: be very, very big the Dodgers a shutout three to one,
Speaker 6: or make that three to nothing. But as it turns out,
Speaker 6: huge plays and that was just one of a couple
Speaker 6: of defensive gyms the Dodgers turned in.
Speaker 9: How about the last play of the game, Josh Young,
Speaker 9: I mean, you always talk about play through run, don't
Speaker 9: give up, And it seemed like Josh Young was playing umpire.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you cannot be the hitter and an umpire at
Speaker 6: the same time. You like to be. You may say, hey,
Speaker 6: you missed that call, but whatever it may be. But
Speaker 6: if you're down to just two outs to work with,
Speaker 6: and you are a big, big run and you're trying
Speaker 6: to get on base, so you can bring if you
Speaker 6: get on bass, you've got the tying run on board,
Speaker 6: and you're going to stop running down the first base
Speaker 6: line because you want to correct an umpire on the
Speaker 6: way down he thought the ball was foul, talking about
Speaker 6: polar instead of running all the way down to the
Speaker 6: first base and then make the appeal and then they
Speaker 6: can chect with the umpires. Sad way to lose a
Speaker 6: ball game, and for the Rangers in a weird way,
Speaker 6: because the Dodgers were celebrating on high fives and the
Speaker 6: Rangers going, well, wait a minute, you mean the game's over.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was over and the Dodgers won. They're looking
Speaker 9: to make it two or five in a row.
Speaker 6: Now, speaking of arguing, can you see that Chaz Chisholm
Speaker 6: was ejected from a game yesterday with the Yankees. He
Speaker 6: did not like the balls of strikes call correct, so
Speaker 6: he's ejected from the game. He goes into the locker room.
Speaker 6: Baseball has a rule now that you cannot use your
Speaker 6: phone to call out or do anything during the game itself. Well,
Speaker 6: he tweeted that he was robbed by the umpire. How
Speaker 6: did it work out? He's going to get fine for
Speaker 6: being a rejected from the game and he also received
Speaker 6: a one game suspension for Major League Baseball for using
Speaker 6: his phone during a game.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he wasn't doing that very undercover, Rick, when you
Speaker 9: could text somebody, but then you put it on social media,
Speaker 9: forget it.
Speaker 6: And then he said, well what he tweeted out he
Speaker 6: had been ejected, arguing the closer. He says, I don't
Speaker 6: care afterwards when they found out that he was suspended
Speaker 6: for a game. So okay, sit down, be quiet. You
Speaker 6: don't care.
Speaker 9: Do you allow Stephen Nelson to use his cell phone
Speaker 9: during the game?
Speaker 6: Oh, we don't care, as you'll say that he's on
Speaker 6: his phone.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no fines here. All right, Rick, We'll check back
Speaker 9: in with you and Nelly a little bit later. For now,
Speaker 9: we'll send it back to the studio.
Speaker 6: All right.

Speaker 9: who saved the day in a lot of ways in
Speaker 9: the ninth inning with his defense. Max, thanks a lot
Speaker 9: for the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good, good to see again.
Speaker 9: How much do you know about Tracy Chapman Moncie.
Speaker 5: I know it's a good song. I don't even know
Speaker 5: any more than that.
Speaker 9: No, that's all you need to know before we talk
Speaker 9: about the ninth inning last night. What's it like for
Speaker 9: you and just the guys that we're here in twenty
Speaker 9: to come back again.
Speaker 12: This place is always gonna be special. You know, for me,
Speaker 12: it's multiple reasons.
Speaker 5: It's home.
Speaker 12: You know, I grew up coming, not to necessarily to
Speaker 12: this stadium, but to the old stadium for you know,
Speaker 12: twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 5: Grew up coming to that stadium, and so this place
Speaker 5: will always be special for that reason.
Speaker 12: And then too, getting that World Series, the circumstances around
Speaker 12: that World Series, you know, being.
Speaker 5: Stuck with everybody in the hotel for forty straight days.
Speaker 12: You know, I just this this place will always be
Speaker 12: special for those reasons, and you know, it's really cool
Speaker 12: to come back here for you know, the group of
Speaker 12: guys that we're here and It's also always fun to
Speaker 12: come back here with Freddy because we get to you know,
Speaker 12: we to throw a couple of jabs at Freddy. You know, hey,
Speaker 12: rim when you guys were up three to one and
Speaker 12: the end of the losing. You know, it's just fun
Speaker 12: to do that. So this this place will always have
Speaker 12: a special place.
Speaker 9: It's funny you brought up Freddie.
Speaker 6: Yesterday.
Speaker 9: Blake Trenton pulled up the video of the pitch he
Speaker 9: served up to Freddy that he thought was a home
Speaker 9: run in Game seven and Mookie robbed him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a good play.
Speaker 10: It was.
Speaker 12: We were all fired up at that point, and you
Speaker 12: know that was that was Freddie was on fire that season,
Speaker 12: in that playoffs especially, he was doing some damage to us,
Speaker 12: and so you know, for that ball to not find
Speaker 12: a way over the fence, that was a pretty big
Speaker 12: moment for us.
Speaker 9: Max Months he is our guest. All right, let's go
Speaker 9: back to last night, the ninth inning. You made two
Speaker 9: amazing plays. The first one you were able to get
Speaker 9: your old buddy Seeger at second base. I know you
Speaker 9: put in a lot of work, but for you to
Speaker 9: stick with the process and be the hero with your glove,
Speaker 9: I'm sure that meant a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was a big night for us. Just it was
Speaker 5: a good one.
Speaker 12: You know, Yama was unbelievable, and it's it's one of
Speaker 12: those things where with Yama this year, the way he's
Speaker 12: been pitching, we feel like anytime he's on the mound,
Speaker 12: we're just in total control out there.
Speaker 5: And that's kind of how last night fell out. I
Speaker 5: know it was a one to nothing game, but it
Speaker 5: just felt like we were in complete control.
Speaker 6: Of that game.
Speaker 12: And that's just the kind of confidence that he's pitching
Speaker 12: with on the mound, and that also instills into all
Speaker 12: of us on defense. And you know, bullpen came in,
Speaker 12: did their job, and you know, for me to to
Speaker 12: to close it out that way.
Speaker 5: That was that was you know, big moment for me.
Speaker 5: And like I said, I haven't.
Speaker 12: Put in a lot of work and you know, I've.
Speaker 5: Been feeling great over there.
Speaker 12: I know I've had a couple of mistakes, but those
Speaker 12: were on the you know, the throwing front, which is
Speaker 12: usually not the issue for me.
Speaker 5: But that's just that's just the way baseball goes sometimes.
Speaker 9: Hey, Max, the difference last night was that you and
Speaker 9: your infield mats played through whatever the umpire was gonna call.
Speaker 9: What did you see on that ground ball? And reacting
Speaker 9: to that ground ball from Josh Young that turned into
Speaker 9: end the game.
Speaker 12: Well, you play until the umpire tells you otherwise, especially
Speaker 12: on defense, and you know with that play down the line,
Speaker 12: he's right there in my ear and so I fielded
Speaker 12: the ball, and I I was pretty positive it was
Speaker 12: a foul ball. And you know, I wasn't entirely ready
Speaker 12: to make that play, but I didn't hear him say anything.
Speaker 5: He's right there in my ear, and so I turned and.
Speaker 12: Fired at the second and you know, I was able
Speaker 12: to get the guy in time, and you know then
Speaker 12: he wasn't running down the line, so that worked out
Speaker 12: for us. But yeah, it's just one of those things
Speaker 12: where we have to play until until the umpire tells
Speaker 12: you otherwise. And uh, yeah, that was definitely a very strange,
Speaker 12: very strange ball. I was positive it was foul, but
Speaker 12: you go back and look at the replay and I
Speaker 12: think he I think he got the call right.
Speaker 9: I guess that it's time for me to go because
Speaker 9: Austin Barnes is over here, right, the hero of the
Speaker 9: twenty twenty World Series. I think he still has the
Speaker 9: baseball in his back pocket right now.
Speaker 1: He might.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's.
Speaker 12: I think he switched it out here. I think he
Speaker 12: gave back a fake one and he kept the real one.
Speaker 5: You know, that's what I would do at least.
Speaker 9: Hey, that's Riverside Streets Art's right there.
Speaker 5: Well, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 12: You know, and uh, in that case, that would definitely
Speaker 12: be something that I would do.
Speaker 5: You know, that's a special ball. You got a hold
Speaker 5: on that one. I love it.
Speaker 9: Great play, great ninth inning, Max, And obviously everybody in
Speaker 9: this room believes in you, and keep going.
Speaker 5: Thanks David.
Speaker 9: There he is the man, Max Munsey. And uh, maybe
Speaker 9: he'll give his Canaan gift card to Austin Barnes for
Speaker 9: maybe changing out that baseball. Westend it back to you
Speaker 9: in the studio.
Speaker 2: All right, the a lot DV.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Max.

Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Texas Rangers, Game two of this
Speaker 2: three game set. Dodgers shut out the Rangers three to

Speaker 2: Here Toyota Dealer today, they make it easy. Nathan Evaldi
Speaker 2: on the mound for the Rangers, one and two of
Speaker 2: the two to fifty five Era. Thirty five year old
Speaker 2: now right hander in his fifteenth season in the big leagues.
Speaker 2: Came up with the Dodgers in twenty eleven, then with
Speaker 2: the Marlins, Yankees, Rays, Red Sox, and now his third
Speaker 2: season with the Texas Rangers. Fastball splitter Curbbald the occasional cutter,
Speaker 2: making his fifth start here in twenty twenty five. Last
Speaker 2: time out, five innings, three runs, five hits, three strikeouts
Speaker 2: in a loss to the Mariners. He hasn't gotten much
Speaker 2: run supporting. The Texas Rangers have scored a total of
Speaker 2: four runs in his four starts. That's the second lowest
Speaker 2: mark amongst qualified American League pitchers. He has not faced
Speaker 2: the Dodgers since twenty thirteen, when he was a member
Speaker 2: of the MARLINSH to two with his seven to twenty
Speaker 2: ERA and eight strikeouts. Roki Sasaki on the mound for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, oh to one the three twenty nine ERA.
Speaker 2: The twenty three year old out of Japan in his
Speaker 2: first season with the Dodgers, making his fifth start this year.
Speaker 2: He made his debut in Tokyo against the Cubs last
Speaker 2: time out. Got roughed up a little bit well the
Speaker 2: one run, four hits, three strikeouts at five innings. The
Speaker 2: score was worse when they lost sixteen to nothing, but
Speaker 2: that was after Sasaki came out, but he still gets
Speaker 2: tagged with the loss. Over the weekend, he is facing
Speaker 2: the Rangers for the first time in his young career.
Speaker 2: So is Nathan Valdi and Roki Sasaki. The pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: It is the Dodgers and the Rangers from Globe Live
Speaker 2: Field in Arlington, Texas. We are fifteen minutes away from
Speaker 2: first pitch. Keys to the game. Our next, I'm Tim
Speaker 2: Katsey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Lean you up to Dodgers and the Rangers from Globelife
Speaker 2: Field in Texas. Rookie Sasaki and Nathan Evaldi. The pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Dodgers winners of four in a row, looking at make
Speaker 2: it five straight before first pencil's head back out to
Speaker 2: the booth. Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. Guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: TC sitting next to Rick Monday still as we're getting
Speaker 3: ready for another terrific starting pitching battle. Last night, Yoshinobo
Speaker 3: Yamamoto and Jacob deGrom lived up to the billing and
Speaker 3: then some and the series opener, of course, the Dodgers
Speaker 3: winning and shout out fashion three nothing and today on
Speaker 3: this Saturday mod rookie Sasaki against former Dodger Nathan Ovaldi.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be some high velocity, high octane stuff in
Speaker 3: this one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and hopefully with rookie Suzaki. He was paying attention
Speaker 6: to his fellow countryman last night in Yamamoto. And from
Speaker 6: this aspect, getting first pitch strike over because that's something
Speaker 6: that's been rather elusive so far for the young right hander.
Speaker 6: In fact, first pitch strikes only fifty percent of the time.
Speaker 6: That's the fourth lowest starting pitchers in baseball with at
Speaker 6: least three starts. Conversely, if you look at Evaldi, he's
Speaker 6: thrown first pitch strikes sixty four percent of the time,
Speaker 6: so he's been ahead of hitters. That's been the key
Speaker 6: to his success. And a Valdi, of course, also coming
Speaker 6: off a new three year deal, he was able to
Speaker 6: sign Sazaki. The other part too very quickly. When you
Speaker 6: look at the splitter, you say, oh, opposing hitters are
Speaker 6: zero for ten. However, only thirty five percent of the
Speaker 6: splitters have been thrown for strikes. There's been a lot
Speaker 6: of chase. I mentioned that because the Rangers, with exception
Speaker 6: of last night, a couple of innings. They do not
Speaker 6: expand the strike zone.
Speaker 3: Now, the Texas Rangers are a club that in a
Speaker 3: down American league, they figure to be one of the
Speaker 3: last team standings this standing this year. So this is
Speaker 3: a Dodger club that knows that, you know, maybe if
Speaker 3: all things break right, they could see him again. And
Speaker 3: so it's a good test for Sasaki and his continued development.
Speaker 3: Really well, it all comes down to his fastball command
Speaker 3: and when that's kind of born out the last couple
Speaker 3: of starts, as he started to put it together against
Speaker 3: Philly and then the Cubs. If he can throw the
Speaker 3: fastball for his strikes, then the hitters kind of have
Speaker 3: to guard against the splitter. But whereas early on and
Speaker 3: really for the majority of this rookie season so far,
Speaker 3: rookies fastball has been all over the place. So that's
Speaker 3: why his whiff rate, his chase rate is so low
Speaker 3: because he's not been able to throw strikes.
Speaker 6: With one caveat as far as first pitch strikes fastball,
Speaker 6: Corey Seger, no, no, not first pitch fastballs. That's what
Speaker 6: he goes up there hunting. He's very open about it,
Speaker 6: and he's been very successful with very successful.
Speaker 3: Dodgers fans know that when he was wearing blue, and
Speaker 3: they see it now as he's been a Texas Ranger.
Speaker 3: One last thing to him is to get it back
Speaker 3: to you. It is not Austin Barnes catching. That is
Speaker 3: what we saw for Susaki's last two turns was Austin
Speaker 3: Barnes behind the dish. But it's Will Smith getting the
Speaker 3: start and again no show hey O Tani a second
Speaker 3: game is he's still on the paternity list as he
Speaker 3: and Mammy Cope are getting ready to dive into parenthood.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are hopeful that Otani will be back with
Speaker 3: the series against the Cubs, but they'll continue to play
Speaker 3: on against the Rangers, trying to run this win streak
Speaker 3: up to five games in a row.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See, the Dodgers can make it five's trades as Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmond will lead things off against Nathan Levaldi again. The
Speaker 2: big news outside of show Heyo Tani still not with
Speaker 2: this Dodgers team and still no word on the birth
Speaker 2: of their baby yet, is that the Dodgers made a move.
Speaker 2: Evan Phillips activated off the injured list. That's great news.
Speaker 2: The flip side of that is that Blake Trining, Dodger reliever,
Speaker 2: has been placed on the injured list with right forearm tightness.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, he had Tommy John surgery in the
Speaker 2: off season of twenty two, missed all of twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three part of twenty four, so he's already had the
Speaker 2: procedure done and let's just hope this is just an
Speaker 2: arm barking and he can just get the inflammation down.
Speaker 2: But right fore arm soreness tightness for Blake trying and
Speaker 2: placed on the injured list. Evan Phillips act debated and
Speaker 2: available for the first time here in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Rangers. Nathan Valdi Rookie Susaki the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: David Vatsay's got you covered on the post game and
Speaker 2: this one is over. Enjoy it. First pitch from Arlington
