Speaker 6: camp into the city. Luke Trevino was the opener, went
Speaker 6: one inning, gave up a run and Bobby Witt junior
Speaker 6: RBI double as the Dodgers were down one to nothing.
Speaker 1: He didn't turn it over to Justin Robleski, who was.
Speaker 6: Fantastic six shutout inning, scattered three hit, struck out six
Speaker 6: along the way.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers would give him the lead in the second.
Speaker 7: Things to Key K, they will go all day until
Speaker 7: you make them stop. Freddy is the same way and
Speaker 7: kick K hits one well to left center field, this
Speaker 7: one heading back toward the wall.
Speaker 8: It is over the wall and gone a home run.
Speaker 8: Kick k Hernandez hits his eighth home run and the
Speaker 8: Dodgers jump on top two to one. Well, KK this
Speaker 8: year has had difficulty hitch hitting against left candidates. He
Speaker 8: has no difficulty here in his first event and hits
Speaker 8: the home run.
Speaker 6: Two run home run off of Chris Boobach and the
Speaker 6: Dodgers grabbed a two to one lead. Justin Robleski put
Speaker 6: up his zeros along the way. In the sixth, the
Speaker 6: Dodgers tacked on a huge insurance run thanks to Will
Speaker 6: Smith to two.
Speaker 7: And Will swings hits the ball well to center field.
Speaker 7: It's heading back toward the wall, still caring.
Speaker 3: It is done.
Speaker 7: A home run for Smith hit it out just over

Speaker 6: The six shoutout innings turned it over to Kirby Yates,
Speaker 6: who struck out one in the eighth inning to put
Speaker 6: up a zero. The ninth inning belonged to Jack Dryer,
Speaker 6: who struck out two. Dodgers beat the Royals on Sunday
Speaker 6: in Kansas City five to one, justin Robleski the win.
Speaker 6: Dodgers take two and three in Kansas City. They go
Speaker 6: five and one on the road trip. They've won now
Speaker 6: six straight series after the win in Kansas City, as
Speaker 6: the Dodgers now back home at fifty three and thirty
Speaker 6: two on this season, first place atop the NL West.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers had a day off yesterday, a golden day
Speaker 6: off at home. Meanwhile, the Padres and Giants both lost,
Speaker 6: so the Dodgers now seven and a half games up
Speaker 6: on San Diego in the NL West. They're eight games
Speaker 6: up on the San Francisco Giants, who have started to
Speaker 6: fold here, having lost three in a row and seven
Speaker 6: of their last ten. Tonight, in the series opener against
Speaker 6: the White Sox, Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first pitch
Speaker 6: at seven to ten, and with more we head out
Speaker 6: to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in
Speaker 6: Tim Neffett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Tim, thanks very much, edus an absolutely gorgeous night
Speaker 7: for baseball here at Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers in the
Speaker 7: Chicago White Sox begin a three game interleague series, and
Speaker 7: the Dodgers with a fifty three and thirty two record,
Speaker 7: they begin the night seven and a half up on
Speaker 7: the sand Eagle Padres, who were reigned out against Philadelphia
Speaker 7: earlier today, and eight games ahead of the San Francisco Giants. Meantime,
Speaker 7: the White Sox not having as bad a year as
Speaker 7: they had a year ago, but it's not that much better.
Speaker 7: Twenty eight and fifty six. They're twenty four and a
Speaker 7: half out of the American League Central Division. On the road,
Speaker 7: the White Sox have the worst record in Major League Baseball,
Speaker 7: second worst in franchise history since last year, nine and
Speaker 7: thirty two on the road. Yoshinovo Yamamoto hoping the Dodgers
Speaker 7: can score some runs for him tonight. He is seven
Speaker 7: and six with a two six one ERA and one
Speaker 7: of the promising young rookie pitchers in the Major League.
Speaker 7: Shane Smith a Rule five selection. In fact, he was
Speaker 7: the number one Rule five selection from Milwaukee. He's three
Speaker 7: and five, but he's got an ERA of three thirty eight,
Speaker 7: which is the best ERA among rookie pitchers in Major
Speaker 7: League Baseball. But a little different looking lineup tonight, MO
Speaker 7: without Mookie Benz.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, and for rookie Benz just an off night.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts earlier was talking about it's kind of a
Speaker 2: mental off night. He's available to come in and he'll
Speaker 2: be back in the lineup tomorrow. Interesting too, is that
Speaker 2: Dave was asked, well, is there possibly a letdown when
Speaker 2: you look at the ball club the White Sox, As
Speaker 2: you mentioned, you know they're approaching twenty five games out
Speaker 2: of first place in the American League Central Division, but on
Speaker 2: the road they're nine to thirty two. Well, don't let
Speaker 2: your guard down because the other teams, we keep talking
Speaker 2: about it, they know they're playing against the defending world champions.
Speaker 2: They know they're playing against the team that's tied with
Speaker 2: the Detroit Tigers the best record in baseball as they
Speaker 2: come in tonight. So they're going to be up for
Speaker 2: it and they're going to do everything that they can
Speaker 2: to upset the Apple cart. Here at Dodger Stadium, every.
Speaker 7: Game counts no matter who you're playing, certainly, and the
Speaker 7: Dodgers have gained so much ground since the fourteenth of June.
Speaker 7: In the last couple of weeks, I mean, they pulled
Speaker 7: away from the rest of the division, and they hope
Speaker 7: to continue to do that now if the calendar has
Speaker 7: flipped to July.
Speaker 2: Absolutely and with Dave Roberts lineup, it's kind of interesting
Speaker 2: what he has done. Moves Freddie Freeman up to the
Speaker 2: number two spot, and for Freeman trying to get going,
Speaker 2: you had a good game on Saturday in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Hopefully that sign of good things to come. Michael Conforto's
Speaker 2: in there in left field. Tommy Edmond is playing at
Speaker 2: saca base and has on Kim will be at short stop,
Speaker 2: and if you look at Kim, you know he comes on.
Speaker 2: He's hitting at three point eighty three thirty seven games.
Speaker 2: He's not played a whole lot as far as nine
Speaker 2: innings and then nine innings and nine innings, but he's
Speaker 2: very interesting of what he has been able to do
Speaker 2: in the month of June, hit three thirty three and.
Speaker 7: Been getting on base. And I think it's important to
Speaker 7: note he's batting in the nine spot in front of Otani.
Speaker 7: And we've talked about it so much that it's important
Speaker 7: if you're the number nine hitter in the Dodgers order,
Speaker 7: no matter what your name is, that you get on
Speaker 7: base and extend the inning and get Otani up with
Speaker 7: runners on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and trying to have the threat because it's a
Speaker 2: whole different ballgame on how opposing teams are going to
Speaker 2: work through Otani if bases are empty versus bases are
Speaker 2: occupied with runners. And Otani's not had a whole lot
Speaker 2: of advance. In fact, he's one of the only two
Speaker 2: guys in this Dodger lineup. It's hitting below three hundred
Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position, so Tani and Conforto, everybody
Speaker 2: else in this Dodger lineup well over three hundred banning
Speaker 2: average with runners in scoring position second and third base.
Speaker 7: Again, we mentioned Mookie Betts out of the lineup, Dave
Speaker 7: Roberts saying, it's more of a mental day. They know
Speaker 7: that he's going through it right now, which means that
Speaker 7: he hasn't been hitting the way that we expect Mooki
Speaker 7: Betts to hit. He had five total hits on the
Speaker 7: road trip, just one in Kansas City in the three
Speaker 7: game series.
Speaker 5: And what Dave.
Speaker 7: Roberts said earlier today was, Yeah, he's going through it,
Speaker 7: but he will find his way out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I found a note today on Mooki Betts just kind
Speaker 2: of looking at some numbers, trying to look at tendencies.
Speaker 2: You know, what's really giving him problems right handed breaking
Speaker 2: balls over the last two years, Mookie Bets.
Speaker 5: And this shocked me.
Speaker 2: Just a one sixty six average against right handed breaking pitches.
Speaker 2: That is a big, big deal, especially when you look
Speaker 2: at the fact he has a very low swing and
Speaker 2: mis percentage overall, doesn't matter it's right handed or left hand. Yo, Chinobo.
Speaker 7: Ya'm a moto pitching for the Dodgers against rookie right
Speaker 7: hander Shane Smith, White Sox and Dodgers game one of
Speaker 7: an interleague series here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6: Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you

Speaker 6: You'll hear from Miguel Varga's former Dodger was with the
Speaker 6: team last year until he was traded to the White Sox.
Speaker 6: Getting his World Series ring tonight, and he may be
Speaker 6: a representative for the White Sox at the All Star Game.
Speaker 6: Begging of All Star Game. All Star voting goes until
Speaker 6: nine a m. Pacific on Wednesday morning. Dodgers dot Com
Speaker 6: slash vote Dodgers dot Com slash vote.
Speaker 1: Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 6: Next though, we'll visit with Kirsen Watson, Dodgers, White Sox.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 6: Tim Kays is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio nowhere.
Speaker 4: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home
Speaker 4: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the Chicago White Size Yo Chinobu
Speaker 6: Yamamoto and Shane Smith. The pitching matchup. First pitch coming
Speaker 6: up at seventeen.
Speaker 4: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 6: Hey, Kirston now joins us. Brought to by Cars for Kids.
Speaker 6: Ready to donate that old car? Call eight seven seven
Speaker 6: Cars for Kids right now. Friendly agents standing by, give
Speaker 6: him a call or go to Carsfurkids dot com cars
Speaker 6: with the k to donate your car today. All right,
Speaker 6: The Dodgers back at it home after a five on
Speaker 6: one road trip. Look at the lineup Kirson, No Mookie Bets.
Speaker 9: No Mookie bets and you know, nothing to be concerned about.
Speaker 9: But really just an off day for him. And when
Speaker 9: Dave Roberts was asked about it, he said he wants
Speaker 9: it to be a day for a mookie just to
Speaker 9: mentally reset. We know this year for Mooky Bets it's
Speaker 9: been a grind. Offensively, the results are not where he
Speaker 9: wants them to be. But when Dave was talking about it,
Speaker 9: he said that the tricky part is, you know, there's
Speaker 9: no reason as to why they're not where he wants
Speaker 9: it to be. This is someone who works incredibly hard
Speaker 9: on his craft day in and day out. We see
Speaker 9: him hours ahead of the game doing defensive drills and
Speaker 9: he's been really pleased with where he's at defensively and
Speaker 9: just that full time transition to shortstop. It's not something
Speaker 9: he's overthinking right now when he's making different plays, it's
Speaker 9: coming pretty naturally to him. But unfortunately just the results
Speaker 9: aren't there offensively. So today is a day for him
Speaker 9: to just completely just be down watch a baseball game.
Speaker 9: He has been working on a few mechanical changes with
Speaker 9: the hitting coaches, so he's probably gonna be in the cage.
Speaker 9: Of course it is mooiy Beds. He's still gonna be
Speaker 9: working hard to be available if need be, But Dave
Speaker 9: does hope to stay away from him. But we've seen
Speaker 9: it with Freddie Freeman this year, So today with Mooki
Speaker 9: allowing him truly to take a step back kind of
Speaker 9: be where he wants to be and then go from there.
Speaker 9: But hopefully and kind of have this whole twenty four
Speaker 9: hours to reset and then he'll be good to go.
Speaker 9: But it's gonna take some time to kind of get
Speaker 9: back to where he truly wants to be offensively at
Speaker 9: the plan.
Speaker 6: Mookie BET's one of seven Dodgers fighting it out for
Speaker 6: a start to represent the National League in the All
Speaker 6: Star Game in Atlanta, and Dodger fans have a few
Speaker 6: more hours nine a m.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow to get that vote in.
Speaker 9: They you sure do, and you know who we really
Speaker 9: want to see and it it would mean the world
Speaker 9: to him is Max Munsey. So he would be a
Speaker 9: third time. It'd be his third appearance in the All
Speaker 9: Star Game if he gets voted in this year, and
Speaker 9: but it'd be his first time at third base. And
Speaker 9: this is a player who, you know, it's just talking
Speaker 9: about the grind of the season, things like that the
Speaker 9: first half of the season defensively had a couple mishaps,
Speaker 9: a couple of struggles at third base, but has truly
Speaker 9: locked it in. And even I was laughing with him
Speaker 9: and talking about how it. Eric Carross gets really excited
Speaker 9: when he makes a defensive play and he's like, do
Speaker 9: it month, you know, We've been hearing a lot of
Speaker 9: that recently, and because it's just he has shown so
Speaker 9: much confidence at that position. He's gotten things, he's he said,
Speaker 9: even right now, he just feels like there are times
Speaker 9: where look it's over one hundred miles off the bat
Speaker 9: and sometimes it's looking like a slower ball, just because
Speaker 9: he's feeling so much more confident defense in the position.
Speaker 9: So he said for the fans to kind of come
Speaker 9: along this journey with him, see the downs and now
Speaker 9: see the ups for his bat to get going. He
Speaker 9: said that it was in Arizona he felt like he
Speaker 9: finally was getting back to his swing. In that swing
Speaker 9: I'm talking pre elbow injury, but back in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 9: so he's feeling really good. It would mean the world
Speaker 9: for him, of course, along with some others who be
Speaker 9: voted in, and we obviously want to see it. Nothing
Speaker 9: but Dodgers in representing the National League in the All
Speaker 9: Star Game, so we know the coaching staff will be there,
Speaker 9: so hopefully we can see some of those players as well.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.
Speaker 6: Christ, we appreciate what check in with you after the game.
Speaker 6: Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck will dive
Speaker 6: deeper to this pitching matchup. David vat SAG goes one
Speaker 6: on one with Miguel Vargas, who's getting his ring tonight
Speaker 6: as a member of the White Sox. As we lead
Speaker 6: you up to first pitch, I'm Tim Kais's the world champion.
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 4: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 4: for the Blue all season law law.
Speaker 6: No Dodgers on Decan teen us is we lead you
Speaker 6: up to first pitch on this Tuesday night, Dodgers and
Speaker 6: the White Sox Morono Casino Resort and Spa a Grand
Speaker 6: Slam for good times. Yo Shanoba Yamamoto and Shane Smith
Speaker 6: the pitching mancho first pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 4: It's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 6: Report present about UCLA healthy official medical partner of the
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonslin on the sixty day IL.
Speaker 6: Tyler Glass now on the IL making another minor league
Speaker 6: rehab start coming up in Oklahoma City this week. Blake
Speaker 6: Snell Blake trying gonna throw tomorrow at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: More on that coming up.
Speaker 6: Rookie Susaki working his way back from an injury as well.
Speaker 6: All right, let's have back out to Dodger Stadium as
Speaker 6: we check in with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Get anything else.
Speaker 5: The questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 4: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 10: I think in that start, curveball was good, the fastball,
Speaker 10: fastball was lively commanded well, unfortunately got cut short because
Speaker 10: of the weather. So hopefully, you know, we save some
Speaker 10: bullets and and you know, can kind of use them
Speaker 10: for tonight. But he's in a good spot physically, mentally, mechanically,
Speaker 10: so you know, hopefully he goes out there and those
Speaker 10: ways capable.
Speaker 4: Of any going today.
Speaker 9: Others questions for Sunday You can be Young short Rest
Speaker 9: or it could be someone else and.
Speaker 3: Machian's also pitching today with no case.
Speaker 5: Is he's still for the conversation.
Speaker 9: To be returning potentially for this weekend or how do
Speaker 9: you see.
Speaker 4: That playing out?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, EMT, it's still certainly in the conversation.
Speaker 10: I think some of it is going to be dictated
Speaker 10: on tonight with with Young Moto and having a conversation
Speaker 10: with him after his start, but Evan is certainly in play.
Speaker 10: I just don't know how he's going to fit in,
Speaker 10: you know, in the near future, but he's certainly earning
Speaker 10: the opportunity to be penciled in with us. Just stay off, Yeah,
Speaker 10: just a day off. I mean to be quantas probably
Speaker 10: more of a mental day. I feel that yesterday obviously
Speaker 10: a team off day, and so today to get back here,
Speaker 10: work on some things with his mechanics, watch a ball game,
Speaker 10: and he'd be back in there tomorrow.
Speaker 6: We see things trying to not be anyway or have
Speaker 6: you sort of seen offensive latest over a lot of
Speaker 6: ye or so.
Speaker 10: You know, at times I see kind of an uptick
Speaker 10: and add bad quality quality of contact and then sort
Speaker 10: of takes a downturn. And so he's in the middle
Speaker 10: of it. He's trying to find some answers and some feels.
Speaker 10: So hopefully today is a day that he can kind
Speaker 10: of use that to, you know, propel him through this
Speaker 10: homestand and beyond. But I guess, kind of like Freddie,
Speaker 10: I just haven't seen Mookie have this extended period of know,
Speaker 10: not feeling good.
Speaker 4: Is there anything you can point to with Muki for
Speaker 4: you know, why he's been having this extended period.
Speaker 10: You know what, I don't I don't have an answer.
Speaker 10: It's it's an interesting one because I don't think his
Speaker 10: misses are consistent. You know, there's there's more chase, and
Speaker 10: then there's some fly balls, some off the end of
Speaker 10: the bat, some ground balls. So I don't know, it's
Speaker 10: just kind of I know the hitting guys are really
Speaker 10: working hard to try to figure out some answers. I
Speaker 10: do know he's healthy. I think he's stronger than he's
Speaker 10: been in quite some time. He's an easy guy to
Speaker 10: bet on, and knowing he's going to turn it around
Speaker 10: for me, I'm very pleased and not surprised to see
Speaker 10: that he's holding down shortstop the way he has, and
Speaker 10: I wouldn't expect the defense to kind of, you know,
Speaker 10: reflect the offensive struggle. So that's a good thing. But yeah,
Speaker 10: I mean, he's just going through it and he'll find
Speaker 10: his way out.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 6: There's the manager, Dave Roberts, talking about Mookie Bets getting
Speaker 6: the night off tonight and not an issue with his health.
Speaker 1: Just give him him a day off and some arrest.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We'll
Speaker 1: check you in with David.
Speaker 6: Vat say leads up the first pitch on this Tuesday,
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the White Sox.
Speaker 1: First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kates's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio
Speaker 6: know him.
Speaker 4: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 4: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and White Sox on this Tuesday night,
Speaker 6: start of a homestand to wrap up the All Star Right,
Speaker 6: Dodgers will hit the road before the All Star Rate
Speaker 6: then officially begins Yoshiobu Yamamoto on the mount first pitch
Speaker 6: at seven.
Speaker 4: Ten, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 3: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 4: This is Dodger insider David base right, DV.
Speaker 6: We know the Dodgers are good, but they didn't even
Speaker 6: play a game yesterday and they picked up more ground
Speaker 6: in the division.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean since the Dodgers started the last homestand where
Speaker 3: they were finishing up a twenty nine game stretch, they
Speaker 3: went seventeen to twelve, including winning series against the Padres
Speaker 3: twice and taking care of the Giants two out of
Speaker 3: three times here at Dodgers Stadium. It just has gone
Speaker 3: in different directions for the Dodgers and the Giants and Padres.
Speaker 3: And that's a good thing, because, like you said, Tim,
Speaker 3: seven and a half game lead over the Padres, eight
Speaker 3: game lead over the Giants, there's a very good chance
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have a double digit lead in the division
Speaker 3: by the end of this homestand especially since they're playing
Speaker 3: one of the worst teams in baseball in this three
Speaker 3: game series, the Chicago White Sox. So you'd expect the
Speaker 3: Dodgers to take care of business against Chicago the way
Speaker 3: they did against the Rockies and Royals on this recent
Speaker 3: road trip. And just consider all that baked in with
Speaker 3: the fact the top three hitters, the three MVPs, have
Speaker 3: not hit it the same time this year. Mookie Bett
Speaker 3: still has not gotten on track this season. They haven't
Speaker 3: had Tyler Glass now, they haven't had Blake's now, they
Speaker 3: haven't had Blake Trining, they won't have Evan Phillips. And
Speaker 3: here they are tied with the Tigers with the best
Speaker 3: record in baseball.
Speaker 6: Dam it has brought to you by the twenty twenty
Speaker 6: five to four one to fifty from California's best selling
Speaker 6: truck brand. It's time to see Ford in a new
Speaker 6: light for America. From America, an old friend back at
Speaker 6: Dodger Stadium day with the White Sox coming down and
Speaker 6: Miguel Vargas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Miguel Vargas, who was traded last year in that
Speaker 3: three way deal with the Cardinals in White Sox which
Speaker 3: netted Tommy Edmund and Michael Kopek, has settled in this
Speaker 3: year after kind of being shocked being traded for the
Speaker 3: first time in his career. He leads the White Sox
Speaker 3: in home runs with ten. He may be the lone
Speaker 3: representative for the White Sox in this year's All Star Game.
Speaker 3: Every team gets represented and Vargas may be the White
Speaker 3: Sox rep. But before the game today, during White Sox
Speaker 3: batting practice, general manager Brandon Gomes manager Dave Roberts got
Speaker 3: the Championship ring out and presented Miguel Vargas with his
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four World Series ring. Now, Vargas wasn't there
Speaker 3: during October, but he was part of the roster and
Speaker 3: he does get a ring, and he does get a
Speaker 3: Playoffs share as well, so they presented him with his
Speaker 3: ring again. He was in Korea with the Dodgers at
Speaker 3: the beginning of last year up until the trade deadline,
Speaker 3: so certainly earned and most guys don't even get that
Speaker 3: much run with the championship team.
Speaker 1: Dave real quick, Mookie Bets.
Speaker 6: We heard David, We heard Dave Roberts talk about why
Speaker 6: he's off today. It kind of feels like this is
Speaker 6: a perfect time for Mookie to get back to back
Speaker 6: days off his feet, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And this from what I understand, this day off
Speaker 3: was scheduled before this road trip or during the road trip.
Speaker 3: But Mookie Betts is not homeward in his last eighty
Speaker 3: played appearances nineteen games. He just needs to be rejuvenated
Speaker 3: mentally and physically. And I'm an advocate, and I know
Speaker 3: this may sound weird, but I'm hoping Francisco Lindor wins
Speaker 3: the fan vote and Mookie Betts gets the All Star
Speaker 3: break off to just rejuvenate mentally and physically. And I
Speaker 3: feel like yesterday having a day off today, having a
Speaker 3: day off only goes to help him get ready and
Speaker 3: be strong for the stretch run before the first half

Speaker 7: He is the first Dodger rookie to throw a shutout
Speaker 7: since twenty thirteen Hunjin Ryeu did it, and the first
Speaker 7: Dodger to have a complete game shutout of any kind

Speaker 4: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: The kid from Santa Monica is back in his backyard.
Speaker 3: Rick Monday, back home here at Dodgers Stadium, happy to
Speaker 3: be back with you. I was waiting for you and
Speaker 3: Max Munsey to call me, but the phone did not rain.
Speaker 2: No, we were waiting for you because you're a valley guy,
Speaker 2: so you know you have to you know, go over
Speaker 2: the mountains and then finally get home.
Speaker 3: I was hoping you come to the valley, I take
Speaker 3: you to Monty Steakhouse.
Speaker 5: No, but we could do that.
Speaker 2: And in fact, I was listening to the off day
Speaker 2: Dodger talking and I'm just having any discussion and you
Speaker 2: listed the Mount rushmore of the of the Dodgers over
Speaker 2: the last twenty five years. I know there was one
Speaker 2: caller has a little difficulty with the years. He wanted
Speaker 2: to go back what thirty five, Yeah, that's right. So
Speaker 2: it worked out, but it did create a lot of interest,
Speaker 2: and you start to bring up the names, and over
Speaker 2: the years you kind of forget about what some of
Speaker 2: the players were able to do and their impact within
Speaker 2: the organization and the community too.
Speaker 3: The Dodger franchise has had so many great players going
Speaker 3: back to Brooklyn. But if you just look at the
Speaker 3: last twenty five years, so many full.
Speaker 2: Players, most of them, it's like a who's who in
Speaker 2: baseball at that particular moment, you know, in that span
Speaker 2: of yours, and that's a huge, huge span. Also, the
Speaker 2: doctors have been very representative in that itself. So you're
Speaker 2: going to talk with in a few minutes of face
Speaker 2: is returning to the Dodgers, and an old friend you're
Speaker 2: going to talk with is now wearing a different uniform.
Speaker 3: That's right, Miguel Vargas, who might be a White Sox
Speaker 3: only representative or the representative for the White Sox at
Speaker 3: the All Star Game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was talking to a scout a little bit
Speaker 2: earlier and they said, you know, of all the guys
Speaker 2: that are coming in with the White Sox, he's the
Speaker 2: one guy that he's basically watching. Didn't tell me why,
Speaker 2: but is there something in the works Because the trade
Speaker 2: deadline is going to get closer and closer as we progress,
Speaker 2: There's a lot of scouts are looking at who could
Speaker 2: be available, and I would imagine the Dodgers also have
Speaker 2: some very busy scouts out there as well.
Speaker 3: And you look at the landscape of baseball Rick, it
Speaker 3: seems like the next couple of weeks may determined for
Speaker 3: a lot of teams out there, who's a buyer and
Speaker 3: who's the seller. Because right now with the extra wildcard team,
Speaker 3: it's a little bit difficult to decipher some teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can put I guess the Giants, if
Speaker 2: you're looking at the Western Division, could be labeled that
Speaker 2: way now because they had now gone to eight games
Speaker 2: behind the Dodgers. You know, you look at what two
Speaker 2: weeks ago they were knocking on the door, but that
Speaker 2: door is a long reach for them right now. They've lost.
Speaker 2: The Giants have seven of their last ten. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: have won seven of ten, so they've stretched out seven
Speaker 2: game lead in front of San Diego and then the
Speaker 2: Giants eight out Arizona. They're just spinning their wheels. At
Speaker 2: the present time, they're ten and a half out. So
Speaker 2: is Arizona in the mood since they just got the
Speaker 2: ok for funding to improve their ballpark recently, are they
Speaker 2: in the mood now to maybe get active being the trades.
Speaker 3: It just kind of puts everything in context here in
Speaker 3: La La Land with the Dodgers, just how far and
Speaker 3: above they are from so many other teams.
Speaker 5: Is the valley in La law Land?
Speaker 3: It is sometimes, especially when I'm there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, today's anniversary. He kind of caught me
Speaker 2: by surprise. I mentioned this to Tim and never a
Speaker 2: little bit earlier. This is the anniversary of the first
Speaker 2: ever collegiate baseball game, but I had no idea what back.
Speaker 2: As far as it did, Amherst played against their art
Speaker 2: rival Williams College. Eighteen fifty nine was the first collegiate
Speaker 2: baseball game. But here's the ringer. The contest was played
Speaker 2: in Massachusetts. It was a square field.
Speaker 5: You believe that, not a time.
Speaker 2: And no foul territory. The score reportedly seventy three to
Speaker 2: thirty two.
Speaker 3: Is that all?
Speaker 5: Yeah? That was all?
Speaker 2: But eighteen fifty nine I caught me by surprise, the
Speaker 2: first collegiate game.
Speaker 3: How would you imagine seventy three to fifty two comes about?
Speaker 2: Well, there's reports too, there was only sixty six to
Speaker 2: thirty two. Okay, Yeah, that's more believable about perspective?
Speaker 3: Okay, sounds like Babe Bruce called shot right there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just about. And there's only one person that really
Speaker 2: knows what took place. That's Renee Latchman because Gabby Hartman
Speaker 2: was the catcher. I told you this before. Renee Latchman
Speaker 2: was a teammate of mine and a roommate of mine.
Speaker 2: Gabby Hartnant told Renee Latchman what took place, if anything,
Speaker 2: at home plate with Babe Ruth before that ball was hit.
Speaker 2: He swore him to secrecy, and even though it was
Speaker 2: a teammate and a roommate, he kept his promise. Renee
Speaker 2: Latchman never told the soul.
Speaker 3: Hey Capone's vaults open, but not Renee Latchman's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, latch on the phone.
Speaker 5: I'll try to talk to him.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Rick, Well, check back in with you and Tim Kniver.
Speaker 3: You got nine innings to know that secret. We'll send
Speaker 3: it back to you in the studio, Tim.
Speaker 6: I want to know that secret. Come on, this is

Speaker 7: Guys, Tim, thanks again, getting you ready for the first
Speaker 7: pitch here that'll be thrown by Yoshinobu Yama Moto again
Speaker 7: the Dodgers trying to get some runs for him. His
Speaker 7: last outing against Colorado was excellent until mother nature interrupted
Speaker 7: it and due to the rain delay he couldn't come back,
Speaker 7: but he pitched five solid in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fastball I think really helped set up
Speaker 2: that split finger fastball, and he threw it for strikes
Speaker 2: and he also got some chase rate as a result
Speaker 2: of being around the strike zone. We talked about the
Speaker 2: hitters runners in scoring position a little bit earlier in
Speaker 2: the broadcast. Well, with Yamamoto, runners in scoring position just
Speaker 2: a one sixty seven average against him.
Speaker 7: Shane Smith, a rookie making his sixteenth start the opposition,
Speaker 7: hitting two twenty six against him. That's the best batting
Speaker 7: average against for any rookie in baseball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been very good also overall on the road. However,
Speaker 2: if we look at the last two starts that he's made,
Speaker 2: he's zero to two with an ERA. Well, it's over fourteen,
Speaker 2: ten earned runs in six and the third innings. But boy,
Speaker 2: he's stepping forward. He's a guy really out of Wake Forest,
Speaker 2: believe it or not, he was not even drafted out
Speaker 2: of college.
Speaker 7: Dodgers have won twelve of their last fifteen games, the
Speaker 7: White Sox five of their last nine. Dodgers White Sox
