Speaker 1: Nack put up zeros while Freddie Freeman continued his dominance
Speaker 1: of the Marlins. Landonnack got the start, called up from
Speaker 1: TRIPLEA Oklahoma City, and the right hander with his best
Speaker 1: outing of the season. He pitched into the sixth, then
Speaker 1: he no runs, four hits, five strikeouts. Nack didn't get
Speaker 1: much run support early. The game was scoreless until the
Speaker 1: sixth when Shoey O'tani tripled one that with one out.
Speaker 1: Two batters later, Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 5: A one pitch to Freddy Hey swingsa lines with.
Speaker 8: The left fielder base hits show Hell come in in scoar.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers take the lead.
Speaker 8: It's won to nothing as Freddy Freeman has driven in
Speaker 8: his twenty sixth run of the season.
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman the RBI single Dodgers though one nothing lead.
Speaker 1: The bottom of the six saw Landing Nack exit the
Speaker 1: game with nobody out, runners on first and second, but
Speaker 1: in came Matt sour On in relief, got a double
Speaker 1: playball and then a strikeout to get out of the jam.
Speaker 1: In the seventh, the Dodgers had one of those big
Speaker 1: innings we're so used to seeing. Hayesan Kim and RBI
Speaker 1: single that got it started. Mookie Betts drough a basis
Speaker 1: loaded walk that brought in a run. Freddie Freeman then
Speaker 1: came up with the bases loaded and really busted it open.
Speaker 8: Kim at third, Otali had second, Vents at first, and
Speaker 8: Lake Bonkers two two.
Speaker 5: Freddy swings and that's in the right center on a
Speaker 5: base heat.
Speaker 8: It might clear them. It's into the gap. Kim scores
Speaker 8: o tany round third, he scores. BET's around third, He's
Speaker 8: gonna score and in the third with a basis clearing
Speaker 8: triple is Freddy Freeman. It is six to nothing Dodgers.
Speaker 8: What a day for Freddy.
Speaker 1: Stay hot, Freddy Freeman. Basis clearing triple for Freddy. Dodgers
Speaker 1: up six to nothing, and they weren't done. Andy Paez
Speaker 1: in RBI single Dodgers a seven to nothing lead. They
Speaker 1: sent ten batters to the plate in the seventh inning
Speaker 1: to open it up. In the ninth, James Autman put
Speaker 1: the cherry on top of the three run home run.
Speaker 1: Dodgers up ten to nothing. They'd go on and win
Speaker 1: ten to one. Landed Neck five shutout innings for the win.
Speaker 1: Matt Soer four innings of relief for this sake. He
Speaker 1: gave up an under and run after a couple of
Speaker 1: Dodger airs in the ninth. Freddie Freeman went three for four.
Speaker 1: The triple four runs batted in extends his hitting streak
Speaker 1: to twelve games. Freddie Freeman went eight for thirteen in
Speaker 1: the three game series against the Marlins with six RBI
Speaker 1: and two home runs. He has hit more home runs
Speaker 1: against the Marlins in his career. More than any other player.
Speaker 1: He loves playing the Marlins. Unfortunately they're done playing them
Speaker 1: for the year. Dodgers take five of six from the
Speaker 1: Fish so far this year. Now they're twenty five and
Speaker 1: twelve on this season, and the road trip continues now
Speaker 1: in Arizona for a four game series against the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. On the mount of the series opening with more,
Speaker 1: we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as
Speaker 1: we welcome in Tim Neffett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Guys, Tim, thanks very much.
Speaker 8: We're here at Arizona where the Dodgers start the night
Speaker 8: twenty five and twelve, most wins in Major League Baseball
Speaker 8: and the best record a game and a half on
Speaker 8: top of the Padres and the Giants, and their first
Speaker 8: meeting with their Divisional four Arizona Diamondbacks, who are one
Speaker 8: game over five hundred nineteen and eighteen and six behind
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. For the Diamondbacks tonight, it's the first time
Speaker 8: this season they will have played a divisional game, so
Speaker 8: they haven't played anybody in the West yet until tonight.
Speaker 8: Brandon Fott will pitch. He won both games he started
Speaker 8: against the Dodgers last year and he leads the National
Speaker 8: League and wins five and two the Osceanovo Yamamoto coming
Speaker 8: off a very good start against the Atlanta Braves as
Speaker 8: four ins, who are the major league best earned run
Speaker 8: average of zero point nine zero. In most with this
Speaker 8: game here first of four, important that the Dodgers get
Speaker 8: something done against the National League West opponent here and
Speaker 8: the Diamondbacks thinking the same thing.
Speaker 5: They can cut into the lead. And when you start
Speaker 5: playing your.
Speaker 8: Divisional opponents, these games are much more important being head
Speaker 8: to head.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, I mean the Diamondbacks there's six ounds, so
Speaker 7: they're thinking, hey, look if we sweep, we could cut
Speaker 7: the deficit just to three in trailing either the Dodgers
Speaker 7: or San Diego. But you're going back to Arizona has
Speaker 7: not played the Western Division teams. They don't play San
Speaker 7: Diego until June. They're very similar to what the Dodgers,
Speaker 7: looking at what they've done against the San Francisco on
Speaker 7: the schedule itself. One thing on this road trip the Dodgers,
Speaker 7: while they've won four to six games, they have played
Speaker 7: some really good games. The two losses were not so good.
Speaker 7: But one thing about it, they're starting to get some
Speaker 7: hitting from the top to bottom. Oh, they still need
Speaker 7: Muncie to come alive. They still need Conforido to come alive.
Speaker 7: Has a swing of the bad exceptionally well. And for
Speaker 7: his on Kim, he's in that lineup again at second
Speaker 7: Baystrin and James Outman, who homered in Miami after getting
Speaker 7: the call up. He starts in the center field spot
Speaker 7: in batting night.
Speaker 5: But one guy you hope can be a key is Confordo.
Speaker 8: You gotta figure he's got to get hot at some point,
Speaker 8: and against Brandon Fought in his career, Confordo's three for
Speaker 8: seven with two home runs, hitting four twenty nine against him.
Speaker 5: This could be a favorable matchup tonight for Conforta.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I looked at one thing. Also, if we're looking
Speaker 7: back last year, the Dodgers against the Arizona Diamondbacks attempted
Speaker 7: fourteen stolen bases. They were successful every time. Is that
Speaker 7: a dimension that they try and do in this series
Speaker 7: right here? Of course, you have to get some people
Speaker 7: on base. Speaking of guys on base, I'm aut Freddy
Speaker 7: Freeman twelve game hitting street where he's hit four seventy eight.
Speaker 7: Every time we look up Freeman is either on the
Speaker 7: bases or circling the bas.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's one of the longest streaks right now in
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball as far as that's concerned. O'tani almost there.
Speaker 8: He's hitting ten of his last eleven games. He's had
Speaker 8: extra base hits in five straight ball games. And it
Speaker 8: seems like we saw this the last three times in
Speaker 8: Miami when manager Clayton McCullough called time out, went out there,
Speaker 8: took the pitcher out, brought somebody into face them. Three
Speaker 8: times in a row, Otani did damage. He had a double,
Speaker 8: a triple, in a home run in those three instances.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Are you Are you better off if he just walking
Speaker 7: or better off just telling you and what you're going
Speaker 7: to be throwing at.
Speaker 3: That particular pitch. Could it be worse?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 8: So, Brandon five at five and two against Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Speaker 8: That's the pitching matchup. As we get you set for
Speaker 8: Game one of this four game series the Dodgers and
Speaker 8: the Arizona Diamondbacks, Sim.

Speaker 4: This is the Otani rewinde to two pitching rope to
Speaker 4: right field.
Speaker 8: That's into the gap. It's gonna split the outfielders and
Speaker 8: go to the wall. Around first is Otani. He is
Speaker 8: speeding up. He's around second on his way to third.
Speaker 8: Here comes the relay throw. It's cut off and Otani
Speaker 8: is in with a triple. Show Hey Otani's fourth triple
Speaker 8: of the season.
Speaker 1: Show Hey Otani yesterday goes one for two with the triple.
Speaker 1: His fourth triple is Tim Nevert just mentioned score twice
Speaker 1: walked three times once intentionally by the Miami Marlins. Is
Speaker 1: the Dodgers beat up the Fish yesterday ten to one.
Speaker 4: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson take here.
Speaker 1: So now joins us from the desert. Brought to you
Speaker 1: my Cars for Kids. Ready to donate your old car?
Speaker 1: Call eight seven seven Cars for Kids right now. Friendly
Speaker 1: agents standing by to take your donations. That's cars with
Speaker 1: the K to donate your car today. Usually we're talking
Speaker 1: about Yamamoto Friday nights. Now it's a Yamamoto Thursday night
Speaker 1: start for.
Speaker 9: The Dodgers exactly all season longness far. But we've been
Speaker 9: seeing him pitch once a week, and so he's been
Speaker 9: that Friday night starter with that guy that you knew.
Speaker 9: You come in Dodger straight him on a Friday night,
Speaker 9: you're gonna see Yoshio Yamamoto take the ball. But for
Speaker 9: this considering, they are in I guess now on the
Speaker 9: back end of a ten game straight stretch. You know,
Speaker 9: obviously it's been a long road trip, the pitching staff
Speaker 9: is dealing with some injury, so today he's going to
Speaker 9: be on you know, a quote unquote regular rest a
Speaker 9: technically I guess a six day rest compared to that
Speaker 9: seven once a week, so for him, Dave Roberts did
Speaker 9: say that as much as this is going to be
Speaker 9: the shortest amount of rest time in between starts he's
Speaker 9: had this season, and obviously know how well he's playing,
Speaker 9: they do not expect for him to have any pitching
Speaker 9: limits or inning limits.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 9: If for him, it's just going to be a regular
Speaker 9: star and it's actually gonna be the same thing for
Speaker 9: Roki Sasaki as well tomorrow, so they're hoping to kind
Speaker 9: of get these guys on this now I guess six
Speaker 9: day routine, so just considering all the injuries to the
Speaker 9: starting rotation, so we'll likely be seeing a little bit
Speaker 9: more of this moving forward.
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman loves the Miami Marlin seems to torch them
Speaker 1: over his course of his career. He's the all time
Speaker 1: home run hitter against him as an opposing hitter, and
Speaker 1: he gets that franchise, and now the Dodgers go to
Speaker 1: the Desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks and Freddie
Speaker 1: Freeman again a place he likes to hit.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it seems like he literally leads every stack category
Speaker 9: here at Chase Field. It's quite ridiculous if you're being honest.
Speaker 9: But when it comes to Freddy, if you ask him
Speaker 9: about that, and even what he said about like having,
Speaker 9: like you said, the most home runs at Londipo Park,
Speaker 9: it was just kind of like, well, I play them
Speaker 9: a lot, so I guess that makes sense. And you're like, Okay, sure,
Speaker 9: I guess that's fair. But it's also because he is
Speaker 9: on a tear and even just kind of start this season,
Speaker 9: he outside of just kind of those injuries and kind
Speaker 9: of you know, freak accidents early in the year, he
Speaker 9: has been locked in offensively and he even said the
Speaker 9: biggest thing for him is that he feels like his
Speaker 9: swing is going good. When he's swinging up the middle,
Speaker 9: he's staying through it, he's not trying to roll things over.
Speaker 9: So for him, he does feel like he's actually in
Speaker 9: a really good.
Speaker 6: Spot right now.
Speaker 9: And I feel like for Freddy Freeman to say that
Speaker 9: this is a man who's constantly working on things. I
Speaker 9: think that speaks volumes just as to kind of where
Speaker 9: he's at at the plate right now. So hopefully he
Speaker 9: can keep it going and be on a terror. The
Speaker 9: other thing I guess to kind of keep an eye
Speaker 9: on is Max Munths. He's also pretty known for dominating here,
Speaker 9: whether it's against the time like here in Chase Field,
Speaker 9: he's one to dominate as well, So hopefully he can
Speaker 9: get some things going as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully he can get going there in the desert.
Speaker 6: Kirsten.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. We'll check you with you after the game.
Speaker 1: Still to come here on Moronggo Casino Dodgers on deck,
Speaker 1: we'll dive deeper into this opening pitching matchup of this
Speaker 1: four game series. David Vat saying, goes one on one
Speaker 1: with Austin Barnes. But up next an injury report and
Speaker 1: we'll hear from the manager himself to Eve Roberts leading
Speaker 1: up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Thursday night. First
Speaker 1: pitch with Phoenix cent for six forty of Tim Kasis,
Speaker 1: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 4: NT this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your
Speaker 4: home for the Blue All season law.
Speaker 1: Law Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Thursday,
Speaker 1: as we lead you up to first pitch from the
Speaker 1: Desert Dodgers and Diamondbacks Marongo Casino Resort and Spa a
Speaker 1: Grand Slam four Good Times. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Brandon fought
Speaker 1: the pitching matchup first pitch coming up at six forty.
Speaker 4: He's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 1: Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. I expect we'll get an update on
Speaker 1: some of these arms from Dave Roberts and Davidsa but
Speaker 1: Evan Phillips on the IL with the sore right forearm,
Speaker 1: Tasker Hernandez on the IL at the left groin strain,
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmonds on the IEL at the right ankle, Tyler Glass,
Speaker 1: now Blake Snell, Michael Kopek all training in the right direction.
Speaker 1: It seems like Clayton Kershaw one more minor league start
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City coming up on Sunday, and then he
Speaker 1: could be back on the eighteenth. Let's head back out
Speaker 1: to Arizona, though, and check out the Dodgers Gabor.
Speaker 10: Questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: I think it's gonna be a tight series. They seem
Speaker 11: to bring We've seemed to bring out.
Speaker 10: The best in them.
Speaker 11: Uh, it's an athletic team. I think they really defend well.
Speaker 11: They're good on the basis and so I like the
Speaker 11: pitching matchups and it's gonna be a fun serious Do
Speaker 11: you feel.
Speaker 12: Like it's more of the dynambags still trying to measure
Speaker 12: where they're at in relation to you guys? Do you
Speaker 12: feel like that's still the dynamic considering you're the world champs.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 11: I think that they got a good club playing in
Speaker 11: the same division. Obviously there's a lot of familiarity. I
Speaker 11: think we got a pretty good team as well, So
Speaker 11: I'm not sure if they're trying to measure to us
Speaker 11: and or just kind of focus on themselves.
Speaker 10: But for us, I think we just want to play
Speaker 10: good baseball.
Speaker 12: Kopex opening for Oklahoma City today. How many appearances do
Speaker 12: you anticipate he's going to need before he can join you.
Speaker 11: Guys, Well, I think if you look at it as
Speaker 11: a spring training situation, there's probably four or five outings
Speaker 11: and then it's a real conversation.
Speaker 12: Did Evan have any imaging done today?
Speaker 10: Nothing? I know of, and I haven't seen him yet today.
Speaker 10: Jacks first games in the division? What's that? I think
Speaker 10: this is a Dimondbacks first games.
Speaker 6: Or the division?
Speaker 10: Is all right? Wow? Yeah, we haven't had too many either.
Speaker 1: Just three so far for the Dodgers against the Rockies.
Speaker 1: First take of the Diamondbacks coming up in this series opener.
Speaker 1: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we will
Speaker 1: check in when David Vaz say, get you more to
Speaker 1: lead jump to first pitch from Chase Field and Arizona
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Diamonbacks. I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 4: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 4: Deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Diamonbacks, Yoshinobu Yamamoto Brandon fought the pitching match
Speaker 1: up first pitch from Phoenix, coming up at six.
Speaker 4: Forty, joining Tim kits on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 12: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 4: This is Dodger inside there. David bas six.
Speaker 1: All right, dv Freddie Freeman twelve game hitting streak. He
Speaker 1: loves the Marlins, he loves Chase Field and Arizona. Also,
Speaker 1: is he healthy now or is he just kind of
Speaker 1: adjusting to whatever that paint is in the ankle?
Speaker 12: Well, that's what I asked him after the game yesterday,
Speaker 12: because when he was coming off the il, Dave Roberts
Speaker 12: talked about Freddy having to find a new normal with
Speaker 12: his right ankle still recovering from the trauma of last
Speaker 12: year and obviously the surgery and the off season and
Speaker 12: then the reaggravation slipping in the shower. But Freddie explained
Speaker 12: that he's his old self doing all this.
Speaker 2: I have done nothing. I think on myself. I'm thinking
Speaker 2: the same things. My ankle feels good, so I'm hitting
Speaker 2: three times a day with my knee drills and you know,
Speaker 2: kind of doing the same thing I've always done.
Speaker 6: So that's a good thing.
Speaker 12: Freddie Freeman's thirty five years old and he's sitting three
Speaker 12: sixty two with an ops of eleven hundred and only
Speaker 12: ninety four at bats. He still doesn't qualify for the
Speaker 12: batting title just yet, but if he keeps this up,
Speaker 12: he and Pete Alonzo will be the two first basemen
Speaker 12: in Atlanta when the All Star Game hits.
Speaker 1: David has driven by four. There's one thing we like
Speaker 1: his choices and certainly like to be a nice choice
Speaker 1: to have Freddie Freeman in the All Star Game in Atlanta. Again,
Speaker 1: Fine yours with the four and F one to fifty
Speaker 1: gas hybrid all electric toughness mark can only be called
Speaker 1: F one fifty. Evan Phillips on the injured list, David,
Speaker 1: what's the latest? How bad is this?
Speaker 12: Yeah, we still haven't got a lot of clarity on
Speaker 12: how bad it is. Talking to Evan and Dave Roberts
Speaker 12: after the game yesterday in Miami, it doesn't seem like
Speaker 12: either one is that concern that it's going to be
Speaker 12: an extended period of time. Of course, Evin Phillips just
Speaker 12: came back from a right shoulder injury that he sustained
Speaker 12: during the NLCS last year. I missed the World Series,
Speaker 12: so it's a little concerning that he's having right four
Speaker 12: arm issues. But Evan explained that this is something that
Speaker 12: every relief pitcher goes through when they're building up for
Speaker 12: the season. It just so happens that it's happening right
Speaker 12: now for him because his spring training was later than others.
Speaker 13: Yea, what I had been feeling, you know, titaness kind
Speaker 13: of just generally in my my lower arms of bicep,
Speaker 13: trice at forearm, and then it's kind of just bounced
Speaker 13: around a little bit. I've been, you know, getting different
Speaker 13: kinds of treatment to try to handle it, and I
Speaker 13: think that was a little bit alarming to the folks
Speaker 13: in the training room to.
Speaker 3: See me handling things differently. Damn.
Speaker 13: Like I said, just at this stage, there's not willing
Speaker 13: to take any chances.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Basically, Tim, like Evan Phillips just explained, when he's
Speaker 12: pitching and he's warming up, no issues. But the issue
Speaker 12: is the day after he's not able to bounce back
Speaker 12: and be available if Dave Roberts needs him two out
Speaker 12: of three games or back to back games. That's the
Speaker 12: reason why they had to pull the trigger and put
Speaker 12: him on the IL.
Speaker 1: Well, the two Dodger players struggling offensively, Max Munci Michael
Speaker 1: Kunfordo has certainly taken a lot of calls on their
Speaker 1: struggles on Dodger Talk, Are there any other options for
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts with these two guys David.
Speaker 12: Well in the outfield, the options are a little bit
Speaker 12: more limited on.
Speaker 5: The active roster.
Speaker 12: Basically, you got Keik Hernandez or Chris Taylor to choose from,
Speaker 12: especially if you're going to play Kim in center field
Speaker 12: or's second base. For those that want to talk about
Speaker 12: Nolan Arenado, the Dodgers treating for him. Scouts around the
Speaker 12: league have told me his skills decline last year and
Speaker 12: they have continued to decline this year. A trade for
Speaker 12: Nolan Aeronato doesn't make sense for the Dodgers in a
Speaker 12: lot of different ways. The only other option they have,
Speaker 12: considering the outside market being as thin as it is
Speaker 12: at that position, is internal where whether it's more Keik
Speaker 12: Hernandez or even considering calling up Triple A third baseman
Speaker 12: slash shortstop Alex Friedland who's hitting two ninety one and
Speaker 12: has played third base, those are the more realistic options.
Speaker 12: If you want to decline Max Muncy playing time.
Speaker 1: We shall see, all right, David time now for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers Jrmy brought to you by Santa Anita. When we
Speaker 1: pick a race at Santa Anita to see who's right
Speaker 1: in our selections this spring, we are picking the first
Speaker 1: race tomorrow when racing starts again at Santa Anita one
Speaker 1: mile race. Currently the seven horses in the field. Who
Speaker 1: do you like in tomorrow's first race.
Speaker 12: David, well, the number five horses tempting It's titled going
Speaker 12: Nowhere like my Career or number six. I'm going with
Speaker 12: Santa Barbarian because I loved the Central Coast all right.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Gray Thunder, the number two horse, Gray Thunder.

Speaker 4: Game, and now joined by David Basseying. Here's La Dodgers
Speaker 4: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 10: Rick.
Speaker 12: The Dodgers continue their longest road trip of the season,
Speaker 12: four games against the Diamondbacks. First time these two teams
Speaker 12: are seeing each other.
Speaker 7: Is it this amazing? Here's the other part too. For
Speaker 7: the Arizona Diamondbanks. This is game number what thirty eight
Speaker 7: for them, it's the first time they've played a game
Speaker 7: against a Western Division team.
Speaker 12: It's so strange. I remember Pat Hughes from the Cubs
Speaker 12: broadcast team telling us the Cubs we're not going to
Speaker 12: see their rival the Cardinals until June.
Speaker 7: Well, Arizona will not face San Diego until June either,
Speaker 7: so it's kind of a strange schedule. Are you a
Speaker 7: fan of the of the current schedule where you played
Speaker 7: all the teams?
Speaker 3: And I am not.
Speaker 7: It feels like it's I was talking to Bob Brenley,
Speaker 7: you know, here's a former player, as a former manager
Speaker 7: and now a broad cancer, a longtime broad cancer in Arizona.
Speaker 7: Talked to him a little earlier this afternoon, and he's
Speaker 7: not a fan of it either, he says in his opinion,
Speaker 7: and I agree with this, he believes it kind of
Speaker 7: dilutes the World Series because you're kind of familiar with
Speaker 7: American and national and I would rather.
Speaker 3: See it the other way. But that's just not the case.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 12: One thing that's interesting about your day today is that
Speaker 12: you seem to have tapped into catchers, not only Bob Brenley,
Speaker 12: but also your former roommate and teammate from the eighty
Speaker 12: one World Series.
Speaker 7: This was a day of catchers, and one picture of
Speaker 7: Tom Candiotti dropped by.
Speaker 3: But we were took a knuckleballer. Well, we were able
Speaker 3: to kick.
Speaker 7: Him out soon enough, but it said no one of
Speaker 7: the good guys. There's no question about that. So we've
Speaker 7: been kind of following umpires, home plate umpires in particular,
Speaker 7: and what they have done with the percentage of called
Speaker 7: strikes accuracy. And then we'll go back to yesterday's ball game.
Speaker 7: Brian no Norra's the home played umpire ninety one percent. Officially,
Speaker 7: he missed five on the calls. There was yesterday a
Speaker 7: perfect score, and that perfect score was by Will Little,
Speaker 7: who called one strikes in that Philadelphia Tampa game absolutely perfectly.
Speaker 7: So it led me to a question today when I
Speaker 7: talked to Steve Yeager, not only a team maybe he
Speaker 7: was a roommate. So I talked to the Eggs and
Speaker 7: I said, hey, look we're seeing I did not think
Speaker 7: that the umpiring was particularly great balls and strikes in
Speaker 7: that series in Miami. That's my own opinion, and not
Speaker 7: to be derogatory towards the umpires, but that that's what
Speaker 7: I felt. Talking to a couple of coaches, they kind
Speaker 7: of agreed.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 7: Anyway, I asked Jeg. I said, as a catcher, what
Speaker 7: did you do if you're making a catch and you
Speaker 7: know it's a strike and it's called a ball. And
Speaker 7: he had a funny answer. He said, the first seven innings,
Speaker 7: he says, I grunted, And I said what He says, Yeah,
Speaker 7: So if I catch a ball and I know it's
Speaker 7: a strike and it's called a ball, I would go
Speaker 7: oh like that, he says. Invariably, the umpire would ask me,
Speaker 7: what are you grunting? About He said, well, you missed it,
Speaker 7: you'll kind of stay with it. I said, okay, that's
Speaker 7: what you did for the first seven innings. Yeah, what
Speaker 7: about inning number eight and nine?
Speaker 3: He goes. Then I told him what I thought.
Speaker 7: And I told him and I said, well, how did
Speaker 7: you do that?
Speaker 3: I said, you can't say anything. Were you going to
Speaker 3: kick out of the ball game? He said no.
Speaker 7: I would just let them know, come on, now, you're
Speaker 7: got to stay with that pitch. That's a good pitch,
Speaker 7: and you've been calling it all game long. Come on,
Speaker 7: stay with me. And then he would say, you know,
Speaker 7: I can only make you look so good if you
Speaker 7: keep missing those pitches. He goes, I could that was
Speaker 7: about the end of it, I said anymore, I said,
Speaker 7: I could get kicked out of the game.
Speaker 12: Hey, Rick, Steve Jeger, very charismatic guy. I guess you
Speaker 12: got to have some charisma behind the plate there.
Speaker 7: If you stop and think about that one period of
Speaker 7: time in there, in the transition between Steve Jeger and
Speaker 7: Mike Soshi, the Dodgers were really blessed with a terrific
Speaker 7: catching yeah, and.
Speaker 12: They both had a witty, dry type of sense of
Speaker 12: humor where maybe they disagree, but they get their message across.
Speaker 7: And in that way, they were both very active and
Speaker 7: in the games in kind of different ways. And you know,
Speaker 7: you could look at him, but you know, I thought
Speaker 7: that was interesting. Yeg was saying, now the first seven
Speaker 7: ending's I just grunt and then eight and nineties says
Speaker 7: I let him have.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 12: Thanks for sharing that story with us, Rick, It is
Speaker 12: a day of catchers. Because Austin Barnes is going to
Speaker 12: join us later in the show.
Speaker 5: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 3: Tip.

Speaker 12: Thanks a lot for the time, Barnes appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for having me on to say, it's always
Speaker 6: a pleasure.
Speaker 12: Is it awkward when Taoscar Hernandez is doing his rehab
Speaker 12: and we're doing this pregame interview?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I don't you keep staring at me all funny?
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't want him to hear my interview. You can't
Speaker 6: hear nothing.
Speaker 5: Why does he have his hands on his hips?
Speaker 6: Is he tired already? It's a big man? Huh, that's
Speaker 6: a that's a big man.
Speaker 12: How great of a teammate is Tioscar Hernandez?
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 14: He's you know, he's always he's the same guy every day.
Speaker 14: He's always happy, unusually happy all the time, like nothing
Speaker 14: bothers him. He's got a slow tempo, so you know
Speaker 14: he's he's a great Teammate's been great to know him,
Speaker 14: and obviously the stuff he's been doing on the field
Speaker 14: has been awesome.
Speaker 12: You've been here since twenty fifteen. Is he one of
Speaker 12: those unique teammates that brings that type of energy every day?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 14: You know, he brings his own Energy's authentic. He doesn't
Speaker 14: try to be somebody he's not, and that man could
Speaker 14: really drive a drive a runner in from second base.
Speaker 14: That streak he's been on is crazy.
Speaker 12: Austin Barnes is our guest before first pitch between the
Speaker 12: Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Yamamoto is on the mound today. Barnes,
Speaker 12: Why has he been so good? Why is he taking
Speaker 12: it to the next level?
Speaker 6: I think he's doing more stuff.
Speaker 14: I think he's His confidence in throwing the pitch inside
Speaker 14: is a lot higher.
Speaker 6: I think he's locating up and in affecting them.
Speaker 14: And the splifpinger has always been pretty good, but it's
Speaker 14: the cutter has been a lot better this year.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying better. I think it's more confident.
Speaker 14: I think his caviction and is it a lot better so,
Speaker 14: and I think he's more comfortable his second year. You know,
Speaker 14: in the States, how he pitched in the you know,
Speaker 14: one of the toughest places you could pitch in New
Speaker 14: York in the World Series, you know, and you know,
Speaker 14: he did great. So I think he's got all the
Speaker 14: confidence that we're wich you should. He's he's probably one
Speaker 14: of the best pitchers in the game.
Speaker 12: A lot of these guys that won their first World
Speaker 12: Series title with you last year, is there something to
Speaker 12: be said when you come back the next year and
Speaker 12: you can say world champion.
Speaker 14: Yeah, especially after the you know, the first one too.
Speaker 14: You know, it's those games are real high intensity. I
Speaker 14: think it's uh, you know, it's it takes a lot
Speaker 14: out of you. I think that, you know, the the offseason,
Speaker 14: especially for pitchers, I think that you know, the bullpen
Speaker 14: who gets used in those high leverage situations, they you know,
Speaker 14: they feeled a little bit more than in the offseason
Speaker 14: the next year.
Speaker 6: But no, we're excited. I think we started off pretty good.
Speaker 14: But you know, obviously we have had our ups and downs,
Speaker 14: but I feel like we're heading in the right direction.
Speaker 12: The Dodgers have the best record in baseball and everybody's
Speaker 12: asking what's wrong with the Dodge? Do you feel like
Speaker 12: the ceiling is that much higher for you guys? Do
Speaker 12: you feel like once you hit your stride, you're going
Speaker 12: to be tough to beat?
Speaker 6: I mean that's how it's always been here.
Speaker 14: You know, everybody expects us to win every game, and
Speaker 14: we expect to win every game. But yeah, I think it's, uh,
Speaker 14: you know, there's high expectations for this team.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, the fans demand us.
Speaker 14: To you know, win, especially since they got a taste
Speaker 14: of it, you know, which this team's been really successful
Speaker 14: for the last ten years or so. And then but yeah,
Speaker 14: you know, I think when we hit our stride and
Speaker 14: all some guys are hurt right now that you know
Speaker 14: we're a dangerous team, I think we could beat it.
Speaker 6: Obviously, we can beat any team anytime.
Speaker 12: Speaking of a lot of teams and the standard you
Speaker 12: guys have had had a chance to check in with
Speaker 12: your former teammate Ross Strippling earlier today. He just retired
Speaker 12: last week. What do you remember the most about Ross
Speaker 12: as a teammate.
Speaker 14: There's probably two Ross was a great teammate, but two
Speaker 14: like incidents. It was probably when he threw behind Stan
Speaker 14: and he and he just looked down the whole time.
Speaker 14: It was uh if I remember I got in front
Speaker 14: of standing and and his wife said thank you to
Speaker 14: me a.
Speaker 6: Really after the game.
Speaker 14: But besides that, I remember he pinched ran too and
Speaker 14: I hit like a walk off double and he scored it.
Speaker 14: I liked his little jogg around around the bases.
Speaker 6: But no, he was a great teammate.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: Still really close with Ross.
Speaker 14: Congratulating on a great career and excited for his next chapter.
Speaker 12: Did you think you were going to stop Stanton if
Speaker 12: he really wanted to go out there?
Speaker 6: I would have.
Speaker 14: I would have been a small speed bump, right, But
Speaker 14: that's that's also another big man, So.
Speaker 5: Yeah he is.
Speaker 12: Austin Barnes is our guest in front of first pitch
Speaker 12: between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Being Will Smith's backup catcher
Speaker 12: not as easy as it seems, Austin, how have you
Speaker 12: been able to keep your timing at the plate and
Speaker 12: still being engaged when you get those opportunities.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I've been in the same position for
Speaker 6: a while now. Yeah. Sometimes you know, the timing is
Speaker 6: better than other days.
Speaker 14: Try to go out there and you know, get on
Speaker 14: time with the picture. Really, you know, I think hitting
Speaker 14: and and all that stuff is people for you know,
Speaker 14: think about mechanics all the time.
Speaker 6: But you know, timing is an important part of it.
Speaker 14: And yeah, you know, you just try to go out there,
Speaker 14: try to be as consistent as you can. You know,
Speaker 14: it's tough, it's not you know, there's no excuses on
Speaker 14: you know, playing time or anything like that.
Speaker 6: Like I said, I've been in the same.
Speaker 14: Role for a while now, and I know what it
Speaker 14: I know what it entails. So but yeah, you go
Speaker 14: out there. You just try to win the games you play.
Speaker 14: That's I think that's the mingle.
Speaker 12: Before I let you go being a proud Arizona State
Speaker 12: Sun Devil, you're further removed from your college days than
Speaker 12: you were when you first got here.
Speaker 5: Have they retired your number yet?
Speaker 12: What's going on at Arizona State in Austin.
Speaker 6: Barnes is that Andre Ether question? Did he did he
Speaker 6: phone in right now?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: I know they're I'm not sure how they're doing anything.
Speaker 14: Statue no statue, but I'm not sure how they're doing. Yeah,
Speaker 14: a lot of pride for being a sun devil. It
Speaker 14: was great times there. I love Arizona.
Speaker 12: Did you catch at Arizona State?
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's when the when Pat Murphy made me a catcher.
Speaker 14: He likes to remind me of that too, but you
Speaker 14: should get him.
Speaker 3: On one day.
Speaker 6: Talk to him. Very intense guy.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was I like funny for Murph and but yeah,
Speaker 14: he made me a catcher and that's what I played
Speaker 14: in college.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 12: Well, when Austin Barnes was traded to the Dodgers, we
Speaker 12: heard about this young guy that played second base and catcher,
Speaker 12: but he's found a home. Holy smokes, barn what do

Speaker 10: Yeah?

Speaker 1: picking the Diamondbacks in twenty twenty at a Bellarmune University,
Speaker 1: making his eight start this year. He his five wins
Speaker 1: are tied for the national league lead. How about that
Speaker 1: he's not a lot of home run in three straight
Speaker 1: home starts. He's walked two or fewer batters in each
Speaker 1: of his four starts at home this year in four
Speaker 1: home starts three and one with the two to twenty
Speaker 1: five ERA, those nineteen strikeouts last time out four two
Speaker 1: thirty eighty seven runs, nine hit, six strikeouts and a
Speaker 1: loss to the Phillies. So not off a great outing
Speaker 1: last time against the Dodgers. Fifth career start, third at
Speaker 1: Chase Field in two starts in twenty twenty four win
Speaker 1: two to zero with a three eighty six ERA and
Speaker 1: seventeen strikeouts. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: four and two with a sub one er yes point
Speaker 1: nine to zero ERA. The twenty six year old right
Speaker 1: hander making this eight start. He currently holds the best
Speaker 1: ERA amongst major league pitchers and ranked second and baying
Speaker 1: average against the one to seventy one last time out,
Speaker 1: six shutout innings, one hit, six strikeouts in a win
Speaker 1: over the Braves last Friday. He's faced the Diamondbacks twice

Speaker 4: Now, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your
Speaker 4: home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Diamondbacks Yoshanoba Yamamoto. Brandon fought the pitching matchup
Speaker 1: in the series opener. Before that, let's ted back out
Speaker 1: to the two guys in the booth calling the game,
Speaker 1: Tim neffettrick.
Speaker 5: Monday, Tim, thanks again.
Speaker 8: We're counting down to the first pitch of this ball
Speaker 8: game tonight, first of four against the Diamondbacks. Yoshinobu Yamamoto,
Speaker 8: back out on the hill, going on five days rest,
Speaker 8: four and two the record the ERA the best in
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball. He held the Atlanta Braves hitless for
Speaker 8: five and two thirds innings. He pitched six scoreless against them,
Speaker 8: picking up a win in the two to one ball
Speaker 8: game last time out. Yamamoto, when he throws his off
Speaker 8: speed pitch, it's hard to differentiate with his mechanics whether
Speaker 8: it's going to be a fastball or or or a splitter.
Speaker 8: And this could be a real favorable matchup for him
Speaker 8: because the Diamondbacks are last in the National League in
Speaker 8: batting average against the off speed pitches at one ninety one.
Speaker 7: Well, if you look at Yamamoto, it's even the fastball
Speaker 7: fast balls only a one seventy three batting average against
Speaker 7: in non fastballs just one fifty two. So if you're Yamamoto,
Speaker 7: he's been really something to watch over the last five starts,
Speaker 7: allowed one earned run, no earn runs over his last
Speaker 7: thirty two innings.
Speaker 3: That he has pitched.
Speaker 8: Dodgers need to get some runs for him right now.
Speaker 8: He's got the worst run support average among qualifiers in
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball. The Dodgers have only given him two
Speaker 8: point zero three runs per game when he's been in there,
Speaker 8: and they need to start giving him some runs like
Speaker 8: they put on the board yesterday when they won ten
Speaker 8: to one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I get ready if you're a hitter, because for
Speaker 7: Brandon Fott, one of the things he's done first pitch
Speaker 7: imitted batt He's given up a four to eighty batting
Speaker 7: average against a kickoff the season.
Speaker 5: Brandon Fatto, Hinobu Yamamoto.
