Speaker 1: Now your host walking you up to first pitch. It's
Speaker 1: David Vasse.
Speaker 2: We are live at Wrigley Field in Chicago for Morongo
Speaker 2: Casino Dodgers on Deck and Dodgers Cubs closing out their
Speaker 2: regular season series today. Your world champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 2: are now sixteen and eight on the season after taking
Speaker 2: two out of three on this road trip in Texas.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers let one get away last night here in
Speaker 2: the series opener against the Cubs, as they fell in
Speaker 2: ten innings, eleven to ten. Tonight, they look to get
Speaker 2: the series split in their final meeting of the season
Speaker 2: against the Cubs with a bullpen game. Ben Casparraus will
Speaker 2: start the game for the Dodgers. First pitch here at
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field, coming up at four o'clock. Over the next
Speaker 2: hour here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, you'll hear
Speaker 2: from Tommy Edmund last night, Dino Ebel will join us
Speaker 2: for our one on one, high and Tight segment, and
Speaker 2: also we'll give you an updating and you'll hear from
Speaker 2: Dodger catcher Will Smith on why he is not in
Speaker 2: the starting lineup tonight. So Austin Barnes behind the plate
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers tonight. Miguel Rojas gets the start at
Speaker 2: third base against the lefty Matthew Boyd. Yesterday here at
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field, it was a seesaw game that had a
Speaker 2: combined twenty one runs and twenty six hits, including five
Speaker 2: home runs. Eight runs were scored in the first inning
Speaker 2: by these teams alone. Tommy Edmund got things going in
Speaker 2: the top of the first inning, flexing again.
Speaker 3: At the play, batting from the right side, the switch
Speaker 3: shooter's witting on the Cub south ball, who looks at
Speaker 3: Otani on second then comes home and emmn hits a
Speaker 3: drive centerfield.
Speaker 4: Indeed, Crow Armshtrown.
Speaker 1: Going back, he's at the hall. HiT's gone.
Speaker 5: Tommy Edman.
Speaker 1: Continues to kill the Cubs.
Speaker 3: A three run bomb in the first inning, his eighth
Speaker 3: of the year, and the Dodgers strike first.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tommy Edmond saw a lot of the Cubs
Speaker 2: when he was playing for the Cardinals, and they don't
Speaker 2: want to see him anymore because whatever he was doing
Speaker 2: with the Cardinals. He continued against the Cubs, wearing a
Speaker 2: Dodger uniform as he is ops lifetime against the Cubs
Speaker 2: is nine hundred That was Tommy Edmund's eighth home run
Speaker 2: of the year.
Speaker 4: It was his.
Speaker 2: Fifth home run this month, the most home runs Edmond
Speaker 2: has it in a single month.
Speaker 4: This game really went back and forth.
Speaker 2: The Cubs took a seven to five lead into the
Speaker 2: seventh inning, but bad Cubs defense and a shaky relief
Speaker 2: pitcher in Brad Keller couldn't hold it. In the seventh inning,
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman delivered to give the Dodgers the lead.
Speaker 6: He thought he had the ball, he touched the bag,
Speaker 6: reached into the glove.
Speaker 1: No ball.
Speaker 4: The pitch to Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 1: Freddy t today, HiT's down. It gets to the corner. Oh,
Speaker 1: Tony scores. Beer comes Betts and the Dodgers are in front.
Speaker 3: Freddie slide safe to second base.
Speaker 6: They take it a seven lead.
Speaker 2: That was a five run seventh inning for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: to take the lead, but momentum started to swing back
Speaker 2: to the home team as Kyle Tucker hit a two
Speaker 2: run home run off of Alex Vesia in the eighth inning,
Speaker 2: and obviously the biggest one. Miguela Maya, who was hitting
Speaker 2: eighth and had only one home run this year, hit
Speaker 2: the second pitch he saw from Tanner Scott with two
Speaker 2: outs for a game tying home run.
Speaker 4: The Cubs would walk it.
Speaker 2: Off on a base hit by Ian Hapoff of Noah Davis,
Speaker 2: eleven to ten in ten innings. Like we mentioned, with
Speaker 2: the loss, the Dodgers fall to sixteen and eight. Tonight,
Speaker 2: they looked to get the series split at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2: For our first look with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson.
Speaker 2: Let's check in with the guys here in the Galpin
Speaker 2: Mothers Booth at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 3: All right, DV, it is a beautiful day in front
Speaker 3: of us here at Wrigley Field. It was an ugly
Speaker 3: finish last night, Mo. That was probable one of the
Speaker 3: more frustrating losses of the season. And he looked back
Speaker 3: at the last three games. The Dodgers have been walked
Speaker 3: off twice.
Speaker 6: And they've given up a lot of runs and too
Speaker 6: many opportunities. Quite frankly, you know, nineteen at bats last
Speaker 6: night for the Chicago Cums, the turners in scoring position,
Speaker 6: and it's one of those games that gets away from you.
Speaker 6: I mean, Tommy Edmon comes through again last night in
Speaker 6: the very first ending a three run home run. Dodgers
Speaker 6: have a quick three to nothing lead, only to turn
Speaker 6: around and see the Cubs come up with five runs
Speaker 6: on six hits against Dustin May, who really kind of
Speaker 6: struggled last night with ninety five pitches over five innings
Speaker 6: and he ran into a bus on that first inning,
Speaker 6: and the second ending did not start off very well.
Speaker 6: Then he had back to back strikeouts. Got out of
Speaker 6: it with the ground bowl, but not a particularly great
Speaker 6: performance by Dustin May. And another heavy workload Stephen by
Speaker 6: the bullpen again last night, which the bullpen now has
Speaker 6: gone over one hundred innings of work already.
Speaker 3: It's going to get more work today, Mo, because it
Speaker 3: is a bullpen effort.
Speaker 5: I am curious.
Speaker 3: So just to get back to last night, obviously like
Speaker 3: a really tough finish, It just, you know, one of
Speaker 3: those things that you say it can't happen, but obviously
Speaker 3: it does happen in this game of baseball. And to
Speaker 3: have it happen twice in a three game stretch, especially
Speaker 3: when you put up ten runs in a game you're
Speaker 3: supposed to win, that like those ones are would they
Speaker 3: would seem from an outsider's perspective, a non player perspective,
Speaker 3: the tougher ones to get over.
Speaker 5: And for the comes.
Speaker 6: That's the seventh time that they have won a ball
Speaker 6: games scoring ten runs or more already. There is one
Speaker 6: offshoot from last night's ball game. There was a tag
Speaker 6: play at home plate. The doves are able to throw
Speaker 6: out the runner and that was Ian Half. But on
Speaker 6: that play, Will Smith evidently tweaked the left wrist. He
Speaker 6: was originally into night's lineup. Then we got word about
Speaker 6: an hour and a half two hours later, no, he
Speaker 6: is not in the lineup. So Austin Barnes will do
Speaker 6: the catching. They say it's nothing to worry about with
Speaker 6: Will Smith off day tomorrow and they expect him to
Speaker 6: be in the lineup begin Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: Oh you look at what's on tap for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: You mentioned the off day on Thursday, and then once
Speaker 3: the homestand begins, it kicks off a stretch of twelve
Speaker 3: consecutive games against teams with losing records. That sounds appetizing
Speaker 3: to the Dodgers and the fans listening, but the fact
Speaker 3: is the Cubs of the type of team that the
Speaker 3: Dodgers hope to see again in the fall. That's a really,
Speaker 3: really good team, and so It's important to end this
Speaker 3: with a w get back on the happy flight before
Speaker 3: reopening play at Dodgers Stadium this weekend. All right, DV,
Speaker 3: we'll get it back to you.
Speaker 4: All right, Steven. Thanks.
Speaker 2: We'll check back in with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson
Speaker 2: one last time before our first pitch later in the hour.
Speaker 2: As we count you down to first pitch, Dodger fans,
Speaker 2: get your game day meal on at Shaky's Pizza Parlor.
Speaker 2: Order your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and Mojo's now at shakys
Speaker 2: dot com. Steven Nelson took down some Buffalo Wings earlier today,
Speaker 2: so maybe he's got room for some mojos. We got
Speaker 2: a lot more to come between now and four h
Speaker 2: five first pitch between the Dodgers and Cubs coming up.
Speaker 2: I'm David Vasse and this is the world champion Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Is Morongo Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on deck y'all on
Speaker 1: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's a bullpen game to close out this road trip
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, as Ben Caspiraus will get things started
Speaker 2: going up against left hander Matthew Boyd first pitch from
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field coming up at four o'clock.
Speaker 1: This is the three wide.
Speaker 2: Another quiet night at the plate for Shoe Otani. He
Speaker 2: was zero for four last night with three strikeouts. He's
Speaker 2: not seen the ball really well. When he's a double
Speaker 2: taking at pitches that are called strikes, you know he's
Speaker 2: not in sync at the plate. The Dodgers lost in
Speaker 2: ten innings last night, as we mentioned, eleven to ten
Speaker 2: in ten innings. Otani hitless in two games back since
Speaker 2: returning from the paternity leave.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: All right, Kirston Watson is brought to us by Cars
Speaker 2: for Kids. Ready to donate your old car? Call one
Speaker 2: eight seven seven Cars for Kids Now. Friendly agents are
Speaker 2: standing by to take your donation. That's Cars with a
Speaker 2: K to donate your car today. Luis Garcia might donate
Speaker 2: one day, Kirston, I think so.
Speaker 1: I saw the look on his face.
Speaker 7: He's ready, he's ready.
Speaker 8: Hey.
Speaker 2: We got some response on drinking pickled juice to not
Speaker 2: get dehydrated and cramp up while you're pitching in a
Speaker 2: major league game, because.
Speaker 1: They said it works, right, yeah, work?
Speaker 7: Also, I mean, listen, last year, Tyler had said that
Speaker 7: after that outing in Toronto he did use that and
Speaker 7: it works for him. So and I do know that
Speaker 7: during spring training they always have the little pickle juice
Speaker 7: shots and stuff available in the training room for the guy.
Speaker 7: So it's a thing that.
Speaker 4: Right thing you lighten us and everybody took to it yesterday.
Speaker 7: What can I say? I try. I try to enlighten
Speaker 7: the people of Assay, I really do, and I'm glad that.
Speaker 7: I guess Tyler maybe enlightened us first and then we
Speaker 7: just passed it on to everyone.
Speaker 4: Sounds good enlighten us.
Speaker 2: On Wrigley Field, you have one of the best views
Speaker 2: here being in the camera well during the game. What
Speaker 2: do you appreciate the most about this ballpark?
Speaker 7: What do I appreciate the most? I would say the
Speaker 7: scoreboard is really cool and just how it is old
Speaker 7: school and you have like there's someone in there to
Speaker 7: make all the different changes. I think that's amazing. Anything
Speaker 7: can happen here, which we literally saw last night with
Speaker 7: how the game was played. But I think that's the
Speaker 7: biggest thing for like, you never know what's going to
Speaker 7: happen at Wrigley Field, and I think that kind of
Speaker 7: adds to the excitement of this game, but also to
Speaker 7: like the element of surprise when you're here. So I
Speaker 7: think we're in for another treat tonight. But hopefully the
Speaker 7: wind doesn't want to be like on our bad side today,
Speaker 7: because it definitely felt like a few of those swings
Speaker 7: probably should have gone out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like the conditions are definitely conducive to
Speaker 2: offense tonight. Here's something for you being a sideline reporter,
Speaker 2: being that close to the action. There have been some
Speaker 2: that been struck by foul balls. Have you ever come close?
Speaker 9: Do you?
Speaker 4: How much do you have to be on your toes.
Speaker 7: You definitely have to keep your eye of the ball
Speaker 7: at all times. I was hit by a foul ball
Speaker 7: once in Miami.
Speaker 4: Actually, oh yeah.
Speaker 7: And what happened was is so there where the reporter sits,
Speaker 7: you're kind of you're right next to the dugout and
Speaker 7: essentially the guys can be on the stairs right there.
Speaker 7: There's no netting. And I told them, I was like, hey, listen, like,
Speaker 7: y'all can stand there. It's totally fine, but just either
Speaker 7: like give me.
Speaker 1: A heads up.
Speaker 7: You can't just like duck if the ball comes this way.
Speaker 7: And they're like, yeah, yeah, we got you. And the
Speaker 7: ball came in and they ducked so to be fair
Speaker 7: on my arm, which I'm pretty sure I still have
Speaker 7: internal bruising. So whenever they do get hit by a ball,
Speaker 7: like they're not being dramatic, it really hurts, like extremely,
Speaker 7: it hurts very badly. And honestly, how they're able to
Speaker 7: just like get back to it is remarkable of just
Speaker 7: whether it's pain tolerant, whether it's just commitment to the game,
Speaker 7: you name it, like how they're able, whether it's in
Speaker 7: the boxings like that, Like they're very impressive athletes out there.
Speaker 4: All right, be safe tonight, Kirsten. We're thinking about you.
Speaker 7: I do have netting here, so I'll be all right.
Speaker 4: All right, good, great to see you. We'll see you
Speaker 4: back in La.
Speaker 7: See you back in La.
Speaker 2: There she is, Kirsten Watson and still here to come
Speaker 2: on Marongo Casino. Dodgers on deck. We'll preview tonight's pitching
Speaker 2: matchup with the Dodgers. Going with the bullpen game. I'll
Speaker 2: go one on one with Dodger third base coach Dino Ebel,
Speaker 2: and we also have the latest Dodger injury report, So
Speaker 2: a lot to get to between now and first pitch
Speaker 2: coming up at four o'clock right here on the World.
Speaker 4: Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers Hunting on your home
Speaker 1: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: David Bassey live at Wrigley Field in Chicago for the
Speaker 2: final regular season meeting between the Dodgers and Cubs. Marongo
Speaker 2: Casino Resort and spa a Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 4: First pitch is coming up at four o'clock.
Speaker 1: He's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 2: Report Dodger Injury Report presented by UCLA Health, the official
Speaker 2: official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Well, we
Speaker 2: were all wondering why Will Smith was not in the
Speaker 2: starting lineup today, considering the Dodgers have a day off tomorrow.
Speaker 4: We found out.
Speaker 2: I spoke to Will Smith in the clubhouse and he
Speaker 2: explained that tagging out Ian Hap at the plate in
Speaker 2: the sixth inning last night caused him to bend his
Speaker 2: left wrist awkwardly, and when he woke up this morning
Speaker 2: it was sore. So here's what the Dodger catcher told
Speaker 2: me about where the wrist is at and just why
Speaker 2: he's not playing tonight.
Speaker 10: Banged my wrist up a little bit last night, so
Speaker 10: that's it. The tag lay home just kind of I
Speaker 10: don't know what it did, but yeah, it doesn't feel
Speaker 10: great today. So he's being smart about it. Yeah, just
Speaker 10: you know, hard play, hard contact, slide, hard tag and
Speaker 10: just you know, bugged it and just woke up not
Speaker 10: feeling not feeling great. But I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 10: too worried about it. I think nothing's broken right now.
Speaker 10: I think so it's just so tight and just just
Speaker 10: starting to get it two days instead of pushing you
Speaker 10: today and then, you know, prolonging something that doesn't even be.
Speaker 5: Prolonged to.
Speaker 2: Hey, the life of a catcher is not as easy
Speaker 2: as it looks. Will Smith one of the best, if
Speaker 2: not the best, hitting catcher in baseball this year. Certainly
Speaker 2: it has been big for the Dodgers lineup. So no
Speaker 2: Will Smith tonight. Austin Barnes is in the starting lineup
Speaker 2: catching the bullpen game for the Dodgers. Let's go downstairs
Speaker 2: right now to hear from the manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1: Any question for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: We do, we do. I feel good about the arms.
Speaker 11: We're going to run out tonight to prevent runs. Obviously,
Speaker 11: Ben's going to start. Ben a starter before, nothing new
Speaker 11: to him, hopefully hoping to get you know, two out
Speaker 11: of him, maybe get into third inning and then we'll
Speaker 11: sort of go from there. But all hands on deck tonight.
Speaker 5: We've talked about in the past.
Speaker 1: Now, No, Davis is a player who's built out.
Speaker 5: We obviously saw him.
Speaker 4: He's the one page last night.
Speaker 7: See someone that would be available to.
Speaker 3: Get back out there today.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, No, he's on the roster. He'll be available
Speaker 11: with whatever we need. And you know, he threw a
Speaker 11: strike and Ian hit it in the hole and they
Speaker 11: won a ballgame. But it's good to have him on
Speaker 11: the roster and we'll see if he gets in there tonight.
Speaker 2: All right, there's manager Dave Roberts explaining kind of the
Speaker 2: plans for the bullpen game. Noah Davis has been kind
Speaker 2: of held out making his Dodger debut. Tough spot last night,
Speaker 2: and Davis certainly will be in the mix in tonight's
Speaker 2: bullpen game. When we continue from Wrigley Field inside the
Speaker 2: Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck Show, you'll hear from the
Speaker 2: Cubs killer himself, Tommy Edmund, as the Dodgers and Cubs
Speaker 2: get set for first pitch today at four o'clock. I'm
Speaker 2: David Vasse and this is the world champion Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: David Vasse live at Wrigley Field as we are getting
Speaker 2: set for first pitch. Coming up at four o'clock, Ben
Speaker 2: Casparaus will start the bullpen game for the Dodgers against
Speaker 2: Cubs left hander Matthew Boyd. Coming up later in the
Speaker 2: show will dive deeper into tonight's pitching matchup.
Speaker 4: Rick and Steven will have the keys to the game.
Speaker 2: But first we want to hear from Tommy Edmund, who
Speaker 2: drove in four runs last night. Dodger Baseball driven by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like, it's choices. Find yours
Speaker 2: with the Ford F one fifty Gas Hybrid or all
Speaker 2: electric tough This mart can only be called F one fifty.
Speaker 10: Ye had.
Speaker 9: Play a lot of crazy games with regularly over the years,
Speaker 9: especially when the winds blown out like it was today.
Speaker 9: I know this past week, these guys have played a
Speaker 9: lot of kind of wild games here, so it's kind
Speaker 9: of just the expectation. We come in much of a
Speaker 9: challenge with that post.
Speaker 1: For you when you were playing in the outfield.
Speaker 9: Not too bad. You just gotta play a little bit
Speaker 9: deeper because the wind's blown out. But yeah, the balls
Speaker 9: just carry a little bit farther than you might expecting
Speaker 9: to have a.
Speaker 1: Lot of success against this team.
Speaker 7: What were you saying from the show to especially early
Speaker 7: in the game with that at bet.
Speaker 9: You know, there's he's a does a good job of
Speaker 9: keeping you off balance. You kind of gotta pick a
Speaker 9: pitch and stick with it. So, you know, I just
Speaker 9: feel like I did a good job about today.
Speaker 12: You've played on regularly a lot, obviously. Were you're surprised
Speaker 12: that ball didn't go on your glove with the basket
Speaker 12: right there?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, the basket's kind of annoying, you know, It's it's
Speaker 9: just that's I mean, basket's not there's not a homer,
Speaker 9: so just kind of a weird read quirk of the ballpark.
Speaker 9: I felt like I could beat on it, but fortunately
Speaker 9: it fairly made it.
Speaker 12: Out and he's broke from lotfield at that point in
Speaker 12: the game. The momentums means what I feel like for
Speaker 12: the for the team as a whole. Right there, when
Speaker 12: he made that Leffield.
Speaker 9: That was huge.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 9: It's just you know, keep us in the ballgame, and
Speaker 9: they were kind of trying to push the envelope a
Speaker 9: little bit. Everybody knows and he's got a great arm
Speaker 9: and she did a good job of throwing a strike
Speaker 9: to home and give us a chance to come back.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Tommy Edmund post game last night. Thanks
Speaker 2: to Sports ned LA for bringing us the Cubs Killer
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond, who's back in there today of course. Coming

Speaker 1: It's time for the Hawfy Magical Moment. Bitch Magical presented
Speaker 1: by Hawfy Hot Dogs.
Speaker 2: We go back to last season for our Hofy Magical Moment.
Speaker 2: September eleventh, twenty the Dodgers played host to these Chicago
Speaker 2: Cubs and in the bottom of the first inning, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers lit up started Jordan Wicks o'tani led off with
Speaker 2: a home run. Then later in the inning, two more
Speaker 2: home runs back to back to two.
Speaker 4: Pitch swung on head high in the air.
Speaker 2: Right this ball's back and the Dodgers for the second.
Speaker 4: Time this year, I've gone back to pack to pack
Speaker 4: in the first inning.
Speaker 2: The home run hat trick next monthly home run number fourteen.
Speaker 4: It is five to two Dodgers. Can you believe this.
Speaker 6: Dodgers Stadium going crazy?
Speaker 1: Right now here?
Speaker 4: In the first inning. We can believe it.
Speaker 2: Last year, in a span of eighteen days, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: hit back to back to back home runs three times
Speaker 2: against the Cubs on September eleventh, the week before in Arizona,
Speaker 2: and then four days later in Atlanta. So the Dodgers
Speaker 2: offense was such a big part of them being able
Speaker 2: to win the World Series. That night at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 2: they would go on to beat the Cubs ten to eight.
Speaker 2: This Haffy Magical moment was brought to you by Hoffy

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Basseying, Here's la Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: All right, Rick Monday Yesterday brought up the bar beyond
Speaker 2: center field that always sends or puts up an antagonizing message.
Speaker 4: Did you see it today? Yes, I did swinging miss today.
Speaker 2: Why don't you say, Rick, They used the play on
Speaker 2: words of Dodger pitcher Sour who did not pitch in
Speaker 2: last night's game. It said, la must be sour sa
Speaker 2: u r E. They blew that lead yesterday.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I looked at it and I went dud.
Speaker 4: I know, yeah, I was disappointed. I took a walk
Speaker 4: just to see it.
Speaker 6: Well, here's here's the deal you just got through about
Speaker 6: you picked Freddy Freeman for more than half. Well they
Speaker 6: got half a point for that. By the way, there
Speaker 6: were a few games that I said, hey, I got
Speaker 6: half a hit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, yeah kind of.
Speaker 2: Hey, there's been a lot talk the last twenty four hours,
Speaker 2: Rick about those baskets in center.
Speaker 6: Field, the feeding troughs.
Speaker 4: Yes, so you played out there.
Speaker 2: Are you a fan of the baskets or do you
Speaker 2: feel like they interfere with the outcome of games?
Speaker 6: No, they don't interfere with the outcome of games. Before
Speaker 6: they put those up. And I forget the exact date,
Speaker 6: because I came here in seventy.
Speaker 5: Two, and.
Speaker 6: That they were already up. The problem was if you
Speaker 6: look at the stands in the left field in right field,
Speaker 6: if you don't have those feeding troughs. The reason that
Speaker 6: they were erected is that people kept leaning over and
Speaker 6: catching balls that were still in play technically, so it
Speaker 6: kind of alleviated that they cannot reach out far enough
Speaker 6: to take the bowl away unless they have a net
Speaker 6: with them and reach out to do that. No, it's
Speaker 6: kind of a weird deal. But if you look at
Speaker 6: this outfield too, David, everybody talks about, well, the friendly
Speaker 6: confines of regular field. We touched upon it last night
Speaker 6: three sixty eight in the Power Allies. But at three
Speaker 6: point fifty plus down both foul lines, four hundred straight
Speaker 6: away center field, and is also a couple of different
Speaker 6: angles and then the brick that's underneath it. So yeah,
Speaker 6: the feeding troughs is what we referred to them at
Speaker 6: the time. It's a basket that kind of protect from
Speaker 6: players being maybe robbed of a base hit or maybe
Speaker 6: robbed of being able to make a defensive play with
Speaker 6: fans reaching over on the ball that technically is still
Speaker 6: in play.
Speaker 2: And also on the flip side as a hitter it
Speaker 2: helped out a home run, a game tying home run
Speaker 2: by Miguelmia last night.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it is truly a game of inches, and that's
Speaker 6: what it worked out to last night. But what about
Speaker 6: the Chicago Cubs. I mean, you start to look at
Speaker 6: there's a couple of different things they're keeping track of.
Speaker 6: First of all, this is the most runs. They've scored,
Speaker 6: more runs than any other team in Major League Baseball
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty six. And for Chicago Cubs, that
Speaker 6: is the most runs through twenty five games of a
Speaker 6: season since nineteen twenty nine. So you're talking about really
Speaker 6: a remarkable beginning for this Cub's team.
Speaker 4: And Kyle Tucker has a lot to do with that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how did the Astros let him go and not
Speaker 6: hold on to him and sign him?
Speaker 2: I know, I know, Hey, Rick, we got it back
Speaker 2: out of here. It's a quicker start time, so great
Speaker 2: catching up with you. Jeez, save me a seat on
Speaker 2: the plane, Rick, Okay, it'll be in the back, Okay.
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, start your future at a California community college.
Speaker 2: Financial aid is available to help with tuition, books, and
Speaker 2: sometimes even the rent.
Speaker 4: It's time to take the next big step. Classes can fill.
Speaker 2: Up quickly, so enrolled today and I can go to
Speaker 2: college dot com.
Speaker 4: Still to come.
Speaker 2: Here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll catch up
Speaker 2: with Dodgers third base coach Dino Eble the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Cubs coming up at four o'clock. Right here, I'm the
Speaker 2: world champion Dodgers Audio Network.

Speaker 2: to the game, but we are joined right now by
Speaker 2: the best third base coach and all a Major League
Speaker 2: baseball and the Dodgers are very fortunate to have him
Speaker 2: return for another year.
Speaker 4: That is the great Dino Ebol. Dino, thanks a lot
Speaker 4: for the time.
Speaker 8: Thanks David for having me on. Love always talking baseball, with.
Speaker 4: You, Dino.
Speaker 2: It seems like whenever there's introductions at Dodger Stadium, you
Speaker 2: get loud ovations. Coaches usually don't get those type of
Speaker 2: ovations from the home team. How much does that make
Speaker 2: you feel that the fans appreciate what you're able to do?
Speaker 5: Well, you just said it.
Speaker 8: I appreciate the fans you know that are on my side.
Speaker 8: I think just sharing my knowledge and you know, it
Speaker 8: helps when you're live on you know, the spectrum channel
Speaker 8: with playing the Angels and just giving them, you know,
Speaker 8: your thoughts and views of the game while the while
Speaker 8: the game is going on. But yeah, I've always felt
Speaker 8: you know, the fans, Uh, you know, you always treat
Speaker 8: the fans with respect because they come to the games,
Speaker 8: they cheer us on, and there's gonna be days where
Speaker 8: they boom me, which is part of my job. Is
Speaker 8: a guy gets thrown out, it's the process is there.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I respect our fans are loyal baseball fans.
Speaker 8: And uh, it means a lot when you know the
Speaker 8: name is called and I hear the applause.
Speaker 4: You sound a lot like Tommy Lasorda.
Speaker 8: Tommy, Yeah, that's back in the old day, Tommy. Uh yeah,
Speaker 8: he was always uh, you know, as a minor league player,
Speaker 8: minor league coach manager. He would come in and you know,
Speaker 8: he always always told us respect the fans, and the fans,
Speaker 8: uh will be there for you, thick and thin and uh.
Speaker 8: And I've always remembered that. And Tommy's the best at it. So, yes,
Speaker 8: Tommy Lasorda, were you.
Speaker 2: Ever in Chicago with Tommy Lasorda? He is famous for
Speaker 2: the Italian restaurants and me he would have here.
Speaker 8: No, I was in the minor leagues, but I heard
Speaker 8: all the stories when he came to the minor leagues
Speaker 8: and he is a true legend here. The fans here
Speaker 8: in Chicago love him. I think the fans love him
Speaker 8: in every city he goes to, except for San Francisco.
Speaker 5: Deep down they love him because he's a Dodger blue.
Speaker 8: But yeah, Tommy is the best at it and what
Speaker 8: a man. I respect and truly miss.
Speaker 2: Denuebol, Dodgers' third base coach, is our guest, all right.
Speaker 2: Do you know after last night's game, there was a
Speaker 2: lot of chatter about the baskets that line the outfield
Speaker 2: walls here at Wrigley Field. Tommy Edmund not a fan
Speaker 2: of it. Tanner Scott obviously not a fan of it
Speaker 2: because that's where the game tying home run landed. What's
Speaker 2: your thoughts coming here so many years about those baskets?
Speaker 8: Well, from day one, you know, back to my Angel
Speaker 8: days coming here to Wrigley. I always enjoy coming here,
Speaker 8: But that was one of the first things I noticed.
Speaker 5: Being a third base.
Speaker 8: Coach, I got to go out there and walk the
Speaker 8: field and see all the different, you know, stuff that
Speaker 8: can happen if the ball hits the wall, and that's
Speaker 8: the first thing I noticed.
Speaker 5: I don't know why. I guess it's tradition that they
Speaker 5: keep it there, but they can easily fix that.
Speaker 8: Take that gate down and put a yellow line up there,
Speaker 8: and anything over the yellow line would be a homer.
Speaker 8: But yeah, definitely it's a hitter's advantage. And like you
Speaker 8: said with the Tommy last night, you know, the ball
Speaker 8: looks like it's going to hit that gate and it
Speaker 8: doesn't and comes off the wall. And I'm sure it's
Speaker 8: happened to the Cubs, but it's fair game for both sides.
Speaker 5: But yeah, if I had it.
Speaker 8: My way, I would absolutely get that thing off the wall.
Speaker 2: When you look at that basket, if you are Tom
Speaker 2: the Edmund or any other outfielder, how do you play
Speaker 2: a ball like last night?
Speaker 5: That's a tough one because he went back.
Speaker 8: He thinks he's going to catch his ball, and all
Speaker 8: of a sudden, it looks like it's going to hit
Speaker 8: the basket, as you said, and then you missed the ball.
Speaker 8: So and then if you don't play the basket and
Speaker 8: you turn around and the ball hits halfway up the wall,
Speaker 8: everybody's going to say you should have caught the ball.
Speaker 5: So you know he did the right thing.
Speaker 8: He got to the wall. Now he puts his glove
Speaker 8: up and you think, if the ball is going to
Speaker 8: hit that basket, you know it hits it, and if
Speaker 8: it doesn't, you try to catch it.
Speaker 5: But if f unfortunately it didn't work on our favor.
Speaker 2: I love whenever Tom Y Edmond's brought up, good or bad,
Speaker 2: but a lot of good is always connected to him.
Speaker 2: Is he a better player coaching him now seeing him
Speaker 2: every day than you even thought?
Speaker 5: Absolutely? This guy.
Speaker 8: And I'm not afraid to tell everybody on the other
Speaker 8: side too. Last night I mentioned to some of those
Speaker 8: players on the Cub side that this is probably one
Speaker 8: of the purest baseball players that I've been around. He
Speaker 8: does everything well to plus average. If you ask him
Speaker 8: to bunce, if you ask him to put the ball
Speaker 8: in play, he puts it in play.
Speaker 5: You ask him to play short, he does it.
Speaker 8: Just everything that you try to fundamentally teach a baseball
Speaker 8: player growing up from little league to high school, to
Speaker 8: the minor leagues, college into the big leagues. This guy
Speaker 8: knows how to play the game, and he studies a game.
Speaker 8: His process is really above average, and I'm glad he's
Speaker 8: on our side because he is truly a baseball player.
Speaker 2: I'm glad Dino Ebel is on the Dodgers side. Don't
Speaker 2: ever retire, do you know we need you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm getting there fifty nine years old into sixty,
Speaker 8: but I love what I do. I still have the passion,
Speaker 8: the energy and get in that third base box. The
Speaker 8: heartbeat is beaten, and so I don't know how much
Speaker 8: longer I have, But being a Dodger, it's gonna be
Speaker 8: hard to take me off this uniform.
Speaker 5: Love it.
Speaker 2: Dino, thanks a lot for the time. Great catching up
Speaker 2: with you and say hi to the boys.
Speaker 5: I sure will. David, thanks for having me on there.
Speaker 2: He is the best in the business. Dino Evil has
Speaker 2: been our guest. He'll receive a pair of sunglasses, Canaan Sunglass,
Speaker 2: especially handcrafted. Visit them at Caanaan dot Com.
Speaker 4: When we continue.
Speaker 2: From Wrigley Field, we'll get you the latest on tonight's
Speaker 2: pitching matchup with the bullpen game. And also we want
Speaker 2: to remind you about our friends at Shakey's. Shaky's Pizza Parlor,
Speaker 2: the official pizza partner of the Dodgers Audio Broadcast. When
Speaker 2: it's game day, it's group day at Shakey's dot Com.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Cubs coming up at four oh five. I'm David
Speaker 2: Basse and this is the world champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long long.
Speaker 2: David Bassey live at Wrigley Field as we are getting
Speaker 2: close to the first pitch between the Dodgers and Cubs
Speaker 2: at four o'clock. Tonight's pitching matchup presented by your Southern
Speaker 2: California Toyota dealers. Work hard and play hard in a
Speaker 2: New Tacoma with an I Force turbocharge engine. It's a
Speaker 2: truck built for the bold. See your Toyota dealer. Today,
Speaker 2: we make it easy for the Cubs. They have thirty
Speaker 2: four year old left hander Matthew Boyd on the mound.
Speaker 2: He's one and two this year with an ERA of
Speaker 2: two zero one. Hard to believe considering he doesn't overwhelm
Speaker 2: the opposition. He only has gotten twenty seven percent swings
Speaker 2: and misses on his pitches, and the Dodgers, seeing him
Speaker 2: once before at Dodgers Stadium, really didn't have any answers
Speaker 2: for him. The Dodger hitters have not done well against Boyd.
Speaker 2: They're right handed hitters having done well. Ta Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: is just two for thirteen and Mookie Betts is just
Speaker 2: four for fifteen against Boyd. For the Dodgers, it's a
Speaker 2: bullpen game. Ben Caspirius is going to start it. In
Speaker 2: nine games this year, Caspiraus is two to zero with
Speaker 2: an ERA of four to eleven.
Speaker 4: He had one bad outing, that's why his ERA is inflated.
Speaker 2: He's pitched fifteen and a third innings and the last
Speaker 2: time he pitched wasn't that long ago Sunday in Texas,
Speaker 2: when he pitched an inning in two thirds of scoreless
Speaker 2: baseball and through twenty three pitches. So You're going to
Speaker 2: see Ben Caspirius. The Dodgers stayed away from Jack Dryer,
Speaker 2: You're going to see him. You might see Luis Garcia again,
Speaker 2: and you certainly will see Noah Davis. Dodgers and Cups
Speaker 2: just fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 4: He's to the game. Our next.
Speaker 2: I'm David Vasse and this is the world champion Dodgers
Speaker 2: Audio Networks.
Speaker 4: Way were Saya.
Speaker 1: Yes is Morongo Casino tack on, the official home of
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: We are getting you set for the Dodgers and Cubs.
Speaker 2: Ben Casparius opening for the Dodgers against Matthew Boyd. Celebrate
Speaker 2: ninety years of horse racing at Santa Anita Park every
Speaker 2: Friday through Sunday with millions and payouts every race day.
Speaker 2: Get on track for experiences like the biggest derby party
Speaker 2: west of Kentucky, Mother's Day dining and free Fridays with
Speaker 2: drink specials.
Speaker 4: Explore experiences at.
Speaker 2: Santa Anita dot Com slash events. All right, We're gonna
Speaker 2: check in once more before first pitch with Rick Monday
Speaker 2: and Steven Nelson right now.
Speaker 3: Appreciate you, David with Rick Monday one more time. Before
Speaker 3: we get set for the final Rick Monday Bowl of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Of course, that is the Dodgers against
Speaker 3: the Cubs here at Wrigley Field. A lovely day, knock
Speaker 3: on wood, less threat of weather than we had yesterday,
Speaker 3: and yesterday we ended up being a perfectly dry night,
Speaker 3: except for perhaps the tears at the end of the
Speaker 3: game for the Dodgers. And so now, mo, you got
Speaker 3: a bull for a bullpen that has been taxed and
Speaker 3: used heavily already this season. Ben Casparra's be the first
Speaker 3: on the buck pat.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Sparras one of the things I'm gonna be looking at.
Speaker 6: We don't know how long he'd be in there, pitch count,
Speaker 6: maybe two innings, don't really know it this particular time.
Speaker 6: Everybody has signed up on that sheet to be available.
Speaker 6: But I think if you're looking overall, the Dodgers would
Speaker 6: love to him to go as far as he can.
Speaker 6: You know, in twenty four games the Dodgers have played,
Speaker 6: they have used twenty different pitchers already. Atlanta has used
Speaker 6: the twenty one, and the Milwaukee Baltimore Seattle they have
Speaker 6: used twenty as well. You know, last year the Dodgers
Speaker 6: used forty and they may be on a pace to
Speaker 6: get to that same number, if not higher, this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So for Ben Casperras, he pitched on Sunday, he actually
Speaker 3: got the win in that emergency bullpen for trying to
Speaker 3: pick up Tyler Glasnewin's injury. One in two thirds innings
Speaker 3: for him, this is actually going to be his first
Speaker 3: career regular season start, if you can believe that or not.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And on the road, he's had four appearances. He
Speaker 6: has not allowed an earn run on the road to
Speaker 6: this particular point. Go right at him, young man, go
Speaker 6: as long as you can. Dodgers need to figure out
Speaker 6: the austbat pitch and Matthew Boyd the lefty. The Dodgers
Speaker 6: have not really hit lefties as well as you would
Speaker 6: expect them to to this point.
Speaker 3: They've been one of the best teams against leftenant pitching
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, it seems with this year
Speaker 3: they just haven't been able to put it together. They've
Speaker 3: got a lot of stars that are struggling right now
Speaker 3: at the plate. Their swings are getting a long, they're
Speaker 3: pulling off base balls, they're not hitting the ball as
Speaker 3: hard as they have throughout their career. So we'll see
Speaker 3: if they could turn that around against Boyd. And we'll
Speaker 3: see DV if Ben Casparis can get some get back
Speaker 3: against the same Cubs that took it to them on
Speaker 3: the twelfth of April and touched them up for six runs.
Speaker 2: All Right, guys, Dodgers and Cubs closing out their regular
Speaker 2: season series.
Speaker 4: First pitches.
Speaker 2: Next, I'm David Bassey and this is the Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
