Speaker 2: Tim KYMK, Hi everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino
Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck Playoff Edition. I hope you're well on
Speaker 2: this Saturday afternoon early evening. After a ninety four win
Speaker 2: season and yet another NL West Divisional title, your Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers now start the postseason with I set on
Speaker 2: a World Series championship. But to get there, you have
Speaker 2: to win eleven games in the month of October, and
Speaker 2: that starts in the National League Divisional Series tonight, Game
Speaker 2: one of this best of five series against the San
Speaker 2: Diego Padres. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up at five thirty eight. Between then
Speaker 2: and now, we got a lot to get to here
Speaker 2: on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. As we get you
Speaker 2: ready for first pitch, you're gonna hear it from the
Speaker 2: manager himself. Dave Roberts will dive deeper into this game
Speaker 2: one pitchy matchup. David Vase sits down and goes one
Speaker 2: on one with Max Munty. We got your Dodgers magical
Speaker 2: moment coming up shortly we'll check in with Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 2: You're Otani rerund the latest on Clayton Kershaw, who is
Speaker 2: not on the postseason roster and is done for the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four season. In just a couple of minutes,
Speaker 2: we'll head out to the Galpamotors broadcast booth and check
Speaker 2: in with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. So here we
Speaker 2: are Dodgers Padres and the NLDS. A matchup baseball fans
Speaker 2: we're hoping we get in October, and here we are.
Speaker 2: It wasn't easy though, getting to this part of the season.
Speaker 2: The last couple of years, the Dodgers have clinched early
Speaker 2: and often, but this year the Dodgers didn't win the
Speaker 2: division until the final week of the regular season. Expectations,
Speaker 2: certainly coming into twenty twenty four were at their highest
Speaker 2: an all star roster, with additions to this roster like
Speaker 2: tay Oscar Hernandez in free agency, signing a young Japanese
Speaker 2: right handed by the name of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and then
Speaker 2: of course, the signing of showy Otani.
Speaker 3: Here's Otani with two on and one out. Hey slice
Speaker 3: the first pitch pits it into the left center field gap.
Speaker 3: That's a base hit. Here's Luck's coming around third. He'll
Speaker 3: score standing it is five to two, as show Hey,
Speaker 3: O'tani comes up with his first run betted in as a.
Speaker 2: Dodger opening Day in South Korea. How can you forget
Speaker 2: his first RBI as a member of the Dodgers. That
Speaker 2: is the top tier play of the game, sponsored by
Speaker 2: Arco quality, top tier gas for less than the offensive
Speaker 2: production was just getting going. Show Hey would have a
Speaker 2: historic season part of the fifty to fifty club. In fact,
Speaker 2: you only member now of the fifty to fifty club.
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts battled through a broken hand that saw him
Speaker 2: miss almost two months of the season. Despite that, he
Speaker 2: had a really good season. Freddie Freeman twenty two home runs,
Speaker 2: eighty nine runs driven in. Another free agent signing, had
Speaker 2: a career season in Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 3: First pitch to ti Oscar has drilled the left center
Speaker 3: field way.
Speaker 4: Beck In got a.
Speaker 3: Run task Nan, there's a free run shot and the
Speaker 3: Dodgers lead at eight to two.
Speaker 4: For Tioscar a career high.
Speaker 3: Home run number thirty three, and he's got ninety nine.
Speaker 4: Runs batting in on the season.
Speaker 3: What a shot for Tioscar Hernandez. It traveled four hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty nine feet.
Speaker 2: Taoscar Hernanda is a breath of fresh air for this
Speaker 2: Dodgers team, presented by a Tar Mechanical. Looking for reliable
Speaker 2: heating and air conditioning services here in southern California, look
Speaker 2: no further than a Tara Mechanical, your trusted partner. The
Speaker 2: service is more than just a solution, the breath of
Speaker 2: fresh air. From the moment you call to the completion
Speaker 2: of your project, A Tara Mechanical delivers friendly on a
Speaker 2: service at a fair price. Dodgers pitching grinded through multiple
Speaker 2: injuries both in the rotation and in the bullpen throughout
Speaker 2: the season. Despite all that, here they are. You're NL
Speaker 2: West Divisional champs, the most wins in baseball during the
Speaker 2: regular season, and tonight the postseason run begins. It's one
Speaker 2: of the National League Divisional Series. Dodgers and Padres. First
Speaker 2: pitch coming up in five thirty eight and with more.
Speaker 2: We head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as
Speaker 2: we welcome in Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Guys, all right, Tim here with Rick Monday, we are
Speaker 5: jacked up for Game one of the National League Division
Speaker 5: Series the Dodgers and Padres. Just as we thought it
Speaker 5: might be a couple of weeks ago, Mo when these
Speaker 5: two teams class year Dodgers stating with the division on
Speaker 5: the line, it should be.
Speaker 1: This way as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the third postseason meeting last five years.
Speaker 6: See it. I don't know how you woke up this morning.
Speaker 6: I woke up just as you really have early, so
Speaker 6: did I before the alarm went off. But that little
Speaker 6: pit my stomach. And the reason is this is postseason.
Speaker 6: It's a different animal, a different taste, a different flavor,
Speaker 6: And this is really something I think the biggest thing
Speaker 6: is when you wind up, whether you're on the baseball
Speaker 6: field or you have to deliver a speech to someone,
Speaker 6: or are you doing something as out of the ordinary
Speaker 6: and maybe in front of a crowd, and he has
Speaker 6: a little fight that feeling inside. The biggest thing is
Speaker 6: learning how to control that into a positive stance. And
Speaker 6: that's the same thing that's we're going to witness tune
Speaker 6: from both sides of the field, from the Dodgers and
Speaker 6: of the Pondres. Who heard Mike Schildt, the manager of
Speaker 6: the Pondres, talk a little bit earlier about the veteran leadership,
Speaker 6: the guys that have gone through this stage earlier. The
Speaker 6: biggest problem that you run into, at least that I
Speaker 6: observed in playing, and then all the championships we've seen
Speaker 6: in the past, there's a tendency to want to speed
Speaker 6: things up. You can't strike out a batter with just
Speaker 6: one pitch, it takes at least three. You can't hit
Speaker 6: a three run home run if nobody's on base. There's
Speaker 6: a tendency to want to speed things up. You have
Speaker 6: to the ball come to you as a hitter before
Speaker 6: you can hit it, same way as as a fielder.
Speaker 6: You have to let the ball come to you. It
Speaker 6: sounds very elementary, but things get really out of whack
Speaker 6: because of the emotion, because these guys have dreamed many
Speaker 6: times are trying to get to and win a world
Speaker 6: championship since there were a kid in there.
Speaker 5: And hopefully the fact that the Dodgers have a ton
Speaker 5: of guys on the roster with a ton of postseason
Speaker 5: games played should help them navigate those nerves and emotions.
Speaker 5: And keep in mind, folks, when you feel those butterflies,
Speaker 5: that means you're in the right spot. That means you're
Speaker 5: doing something that you care about, and obviously all these
Speaker 5: players do. Now I talk about the Dodgers postseasonson experience,
Speaker 5: there is zero Major League Baseball postseason experience for two
Speaker 5: prominent players snipe for the Dodgers, that is shohe Otani
Speaker 5: leading off and then as Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound
Speaker 5: and MO, I think you can understand the logic and
Speaker 5: the reasoning why the Dodgers flipped he and Jack Flaherty
Speaker 5: just because of the rest and how Jack could go
Speaker 5: on regular west and all those things. But now that
Speaker 5: Yamamoto is starting this game one, I don't think there's
Speaker 5: a more important zero in any inning than this first
Speaker 5: inning tonight for him, given what happened in Seoul when
Speaker 5: he started his major league campaign against these Padres. The
Speaker 5: top of the first inning zero, to me is the
Speaker 5: only thing that I care about.
Speaker 6: I think it's exaggerating. I think it's an excellent point.
Speaker 6: Did you bring up and trying to avoid for everyone
Speaker 6: at the ballpark tonight to not have to think to
Speaker 6: themselves early in the game, oh no, here we go again.
Speaker 6: And that's one of the problems that you have is
Speaker 6: that you know, the Dodgers have some come from behind
Speaker 6: victories during the regular season, there's nothing regular about postseason play.
Speaker 6: And the other thing that we don't really know Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 6: who missed the last number of games, Well, he's in
Speaker 6: the lineup tonight. The question is how long does he
Speaker 6: stand that lineup, what's the range that he has defensively,
Speaker 6: and how much does it affect him in the batter's
Speaker 6: box as a hitter.
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman had talked about it during Friday's media availability
Speaker 5: before the NLDS. This is a four to six week
Speaker 5: il stint that he is trying to squeeze into a
Speaker 5: week and a half worth of treatment and rest granted,
Speaker 5: Freddy Freeman on one leg, better than a really good
Speaker 5: hell of a lot of major leaguers, that is for sure.
Speaker 5: So hopefully you can help the Dodgers get this NLDS
Speaker 5: off on the right foot. Game one, Yoshinoba Yamamoto and
Speaker 5: Dldon Cees coming up shortly.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good one. Thank you, Steven As
Speaker 2: we can't you down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get

Speaker 2: gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. David Vassi is
Speaker 2: gonna check in. He's got the latest on Clayton Kershaw,
Speaker 2: who spoke to the media just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup up next, So
Speaker 2: your Otani rewind and we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from
Speaker 2: Sports and at LA. It's all coming up as we
Speaker 2: lead you up to Game one of the Nationally Divisional

Speaker 4: last number fifty.
Speaker 3: The first player in the history of Major League Baseball
Speaker 3: to have a fifty to fifty season.
Speaker 4: He is incredible. Show hey old Towney.
Speaker 9: With an opposite field home run fifty fifty.
Speaker 2: What a season for show?
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 2: Otani his first in a Dodger uniform. Speaking of first,
Speaker 2: this is his first postseason appearance. He's never made it
Speaker 2: here in the six seasons he's been in Anaheim. And
Speaker 2: he was asked, is he nervous?
Speaker 6: Are you nervous at all for just playing in the
Speaker 6: postseason for the first time.
Speaker 2: I don't need a translator there. He is not nervous.
Speaker 2: The Otani rewind brought to you by etoins Oocha, Japan's
Speaker 2: number one greens La Tea that show Hey on Tani
Speaker 2: Loves and drinks available at local Diso stores, Amazon and
Speaker 2: eto in dot com. That's it t O e N
Speaker 2: dot Com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirsten now joins us before game one of this
Speaker 2: n l DS. The excitement at Dodgers Stadium, it is
Speaker 2: already building as we get close to the first pitch
Speaker 2: Kirsten and it's Yoshinobu. Ya'ma modol on the mountain tonight.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is gonna be a fun when it's a
Speaker 10: great matchup with him and Dylan sees from the padres.
Speaker 10: But when it comes to Yoshinobu, you know they're putting
Speaker 10: him in this position. So it sets him up to
Speaker 10: be available for game five, so he would at least
Speaker 10: be on five day rest, so an extra day if
Speaker 10: he needs to be that option. And then with Jack
Speaker 10: Flaherty going tomorrow, he would be on four days regular
Speaker 10: rest if he was to take the start in game five,
Speaker 10: or if they were gonna piggyback them whatever they decide
Speaker 10: to do. Come then in that situation, but it allows
Speaker 10: for both of those guys to be available. But for Yoshinobu,
Speaker 10: we've seen him. You know, he did come off of
Speaker 10: relate in the season, so he's had four starts to
Speaker 10: close out the regular season, and he felt like with
Speaker 10: each one the mechanics and things were locking into where
Speaker 10: he would like to be. Dave Roberts is confident that
Speaker 10: he is built up, just prepared for the stress of
Speaker 10: the innings for what October baseball looks like. You know,
Speaker 10: it's not about getting deep into the game per se.
Speaker 10: It's about throwing as hard as you can for as
Speaker 10: long as you can and controlling your stuff. And so
Speaker 10: if he can have that command that we've been seeing
Speaker 10: from him, which has looked really good, and if he
Speaker 10: can have a performance similar to what we saw against
Speaker 10: the Yankees this summer, you know, that's what they're hoping
Speaker 10: to see from him today. But he's ready, he's excited.
Speaker 10: He's been a part of, not necessarily postseason games. It's
Speaker 10: obviously his first year in the league, but he's been
Speaker 10: a part of big games, whether it was with Team
Speaker 10: Japan and the World Baseball Classic, whether it was playing
Speaker 10: for the essentially the World Series of of playing for MPB.
Speaker 10: So there are different opportunities that he's been a part of,
Speaker 10: and so now they're looking forward to seeing him set
Speaker 10: the tone.
Speaker 2: And this one tonight, Hearson's brought to buy cars for kids.
Speaker 2: The easiest way to get rid of that old car.
Speaker 2: Donated today. Your car could be picked up tomorrow. Donate
Speaker 2: now Cars for Kids dot org. That's cars with a K,
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman. The ankle's a go. He's a go.
Speaker 10: He's a go. He's in there, he's playing at first base,
Speaker 10: he's batting third. Everything that this team was hopeful for. Yesterday.
Speaker 10: Yesterday we saw him during practice and you know, it
Speaker 10: was kind of the final checklist for him. He was
Speaker 10: able to He started out doing is just some movement
Speaker 10: drills on the field of course of his grounders. Then
Speaker 10: he was running from home to first and then rounding
Speaker 10: the bases first to third. Didn't do it too any times,
Speaker 10: just a few here and there. But the fact that
Speaker 10: he was able to do that, the fact that he's
Speaker 10: been you know, he's not walking as gingerly anymore, like
Speaker 10: still maybe a slowern walk here and there. And Sony,
Speaker 10: he wasn't running at full speed yesterday. But he does
Speaker 10: feel really good just about you know, the adrenaline will
Speaker 10: kick in. He should be fine. There might be a
Speaker 10: few things and a few little hindrances in regard to
Speaker 10: if for if we do see the padres but the
Speaker 10: base all. You know, usually sometimes you see first base
Speaker 10: run in, depending on if it's going to the first
Speaker 10: base side, Dave and the team might decide to do
Speaker 10: something different in that situation, Lee Freddie at first and
Speaker 10: maybe put more asks upon the picture or second basement
Speaker 10: whomever to make some different moves in that situation. So
Speaker 10: we might be seeing a few different things. Maybe he's
Speaker 10: not moving over as much if they kind of want
Speaker 10: to shift him a little bit. So, but the biggest
Speaker 10: thing is he's in there and he feels good to go,
Speaker 10: and so hopefully he can be a part of that
Speaker 10: huge one two three punch. So I know that there's
Speaker 10: a little bit of pressure not necessarily on show, hey,
Speaker 10: but on two and three with Mooki and Freddy and
Speaker 10: wanting to see them have a really positive postseason run.
Speaker 2: Both of the Dodgers can get it done tonight, Kirsten
Speaker 2: in Game one, which is coming up here shortly, we
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We will hear from you postgame after this
Speaker 2: one is over. Still to come. Here on Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: we'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vatsago's one
Speaker 2: on one with Max Munci. I'm next, so we'll get
Speaker 2: your manager, Dave Roberts and his pregame thoughts. It's Game
Speaker 2: one of the n LDS Dodgers and Padres. First pitch
Speaker 2: at five thirty eight. I'm Tim Kasis, Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 2: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your
Speaker 1: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead up
Speaker 2: to first pitch, Game one of the NLDS Dodgers and Padres,
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Resorting Spot, a Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 2: Yoshanoba Yamamoto and Dylan sees the pitching matchup. First pitch
Speaker 2: set for five thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 11: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts very excited. It seems
Speaker 11: like it's been a while. I think guys are really
Speaker 11: uh you know, ready to kind of rip the seams
Speaker 11: and just kind of get to playing baseball again. I
Speaker 11: think for me, I'm just looking for or to throw
Speaker 11: the first punch. I'm expecting a very lively crowd, and
Speaker 11: I'm expecting us to be ready for a fight. And
Speaker 11: I think that's you know, that's obviously in the context
Speaker 11: of playing a baseball game, but that's kind of the
Speaker 11: mindset that I expect from our guys.
Speaker 10: You guys have obviously seen Dylancy's very recently. When you
Speaker 10: think about just how you want to attack him, what
Speaker 10: did you like from the quality of at bats from
Speaker 10: the last series, and how do you hope to see
Speaker 10: your guys kind of have maybe a similar one or
Speaker 10: of sorts for today.
Speaker 11: I like the ed bats. It's really big stuff. It's
Speaker 11: a high velocity fastball. He can spin the baseball. I
Speaker 11: thought we got the pitch count up, you know. I
Speaker 11: think for for us, it's kind of scare him out
Speaker 11: of the strike zone, and I think that if we
Speaker 11: do that, it'll force all right.
Speaker 2: There's Dave Roberts down the dug out some of his
Speaker 2: pregame thoughts, brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts
Speaker 2: wins in the playoffs by being ready for anything. If
Speaker 2: you want your contracting business to succeed, you need to
Speaker 2: be ready to at Service Titan help you be prepared
Speaker 2: Service Titan dot Com. And we continue here on Dodgers
Speaker 2: on Deck. We will check in with the David Veasse
Speaker 2: who talked with Clayton Kershaw, who is not on this
Speaker 2: postseason roster. We'll get the latest when we come back.
Speaker 2: As we lead up to first pitch Dodgers and Padres
Speaker 2: Game one of the nld S, I'm Tim Kates's Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Dodgers and Padres Game one of the NLDS.
Speaker 2: Yel Chinobo Yamamoto and Dylan sees the pitching match up.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up at five thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kits on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 2: All right, DV, what's the latest with Freddie Freeman. He's
Speaker 2: in the lineup, but there was some back and forth.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 4: Hey, Number one, Tim Gates.
Speaker 8: We got the all time saves leader in Dodger franchise history.
Speaker 8: In the house right now, Kennley Jansen hanging out in
Speaker 8: our booth. Just say hi really quick, Kennley.
Speaker 10: What's going on.
Speaker 7: There?
Speaker 4: He is Kennley Jansen. Man.
Speaker 8: He's wearing a black T shirt, but he still looks good.
Speaker 8: He looks like he's ready to go for the ninth
Speaker 8: inning and maybe a five out save. But technically he's
Speaker 8: a Dodger. He's a Red Sox until the end of
Speaker 8: the World Series right now, so I can't. I can't
Speaker 8: put him out on the mound yet. But hey, there's
Speaker 8: other players that have come back to the Dodgers like
Speaker 8: Keith Y Hernandez, so I would never rule out one
Speaker 8: day Kennley Jansen getting his five hundredth save in a
Speaker 8: Dodger uniform.
Speaker 2: One day, that would be awesome. He certainly had his
Speaker 2: share of injuries throughout the years. DV Freddie Freeman's got
Speaker 2: the ankle. What's going on?
Speaker 8: Well, Freddie Freeman gave it another test today. We saw
Speaker 8: him run the bases yesterday. Was somewhat of a game
Speaker 8: time decision. Tony Gwinn Junior's in here too, very jealous
Speaker 8: of my favorite Dodger Knley Jansen and I.
Speaker 4: Are in our relationship.
Speaker 8: He's gonna be even sadder after the way the game
Speaker 8: goes tonight, I'll tell you that right now. But Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 8: Freddie Freeman is in the starting lineup. There was some
Speaker 8: questions during Dave Roberts press conference whether or not Freddie
Speaker 8: would be in the starting lineup.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers even went as far to have Max.
Speaker 8: Months He take throws from Keith k a Hernandez at third base,
Speaker 8: so they were prepared in case it wasn't going to
Speaker 8: work out for Freddy to be in the starting lineup.
Speaker 8: And look, everybody still doesn't know what they're going to
Speaker 8: get with Freddy today. So those two men are ready
Speaker 8: to do whatever they need to do. And if the
Speaker 8: Dodgers are in a situation late in the game where
Speaker 8: Freddy gets on bass and they need that run to score,
Speaker 8: I wouldn't rule out a pinch runner for Freddy Freeman
Speaker 8: in that situation.
Speaker 2: All right, David, appreciate it. We'll check back with you
Speaker 2: in just a little bit, Davis, Driven by Ford. If
Speaker 2: there's one thing we like, it's choices. Fine yours with
Speaker 2: the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid all electric tough.
Speaker 2: This mark can only be called F one fifty. Clayton
Speaker 2: Kershaw not on the postseason roster. Clayton Kershaw announced just
Speaker 2: a little while ago to DV and the rest of
Speaker 2: the media he is shutting it down for the rest
Speaker 2: of the season. Disappointing to hear that. Certainly coming up
Speaker 2: here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear

Speaker 6: how you woke up this morning is that I know
Speaker 6: that I woke up before the alarm that I had said.
Speaker 6: Because this is postseason, this is a different animal. I've
Speaker 6: talked about it for year in and year out. This
Speaker 6: is a totally different animal. It's a different flavor, it's
Speaker 6: a different feeling, and oh what a feeling it is.
Speaker 6: And some of these guys are going to go through
Speaker 6: at their very first time, and none bigger as far
Speaker 6: as the stage, although he went through it when he
Speaker 6: was in Japan. But you look at show, hey o Tani,
Speaker 6: You'll look at Yamamoto, who's going to start tonight. I mean,
Speaker 6: this is the biggest and brightest stage. And this is
Speaker 6: something that people dreamed about doing as kids growing up,
Speaker 6: whether it be in the backyard, whether it be on
Speaker 6: the playground, whatever it might be. This is a big,
Speaker 6: big deal, David. And there are a lot of teams
Speaker 6: that are already home watching and listening to what's going
Speaker 6: to happen here tonight and around other ballparks.
Speaker 8: In baseball, a lot of eyes are going to be
Speaker 8: on Freddy Freeman severely spraining his right ankle when they
Speaker 8: clinched against the Padres last week. How do you put
Speaker 8: into context what he may or may not be able
Speaker 8: to do tonight.
Speaker 6: We h had seen him on the field, but not
Speaker 6: able to see really how much range he hit. I
Speaker 6: think that's the biggest thing. I'm not certain off his
Speaker 6: just the ankle is the only thing that has bothered him.
Speaker 6: So we're going to find out. But it is good news,
Speaker 6: and I think Freddy Freeman is one of those players
Speaker 6: that as long as he can breathe, he's got a
Speaker 6: chance to be somehow in that lineup. Of course it's
Speaker 6: going to be David. Here's here's the deal. As we
Speaker 6: progress in this game, if it's a close game, does
Speaker 6: Freddy Freeman stay in that ballgame? Defensively I'm talking about offensive.
Speaker 6: We're going to find out how he swings the map,
Speaker 6: but defensively normally he's at the top rung of the
Speaker 6: ladder as far as doing that, But is his range
Speaker 6: limited to a point that they're going to say, hey,
Speaker 6: look we need to make a move because we've heard
Speaker 6: that Munsey may move from third to first, and then
Speaker 6: you'd have Kicky Hernanez going to third base. So we'll
Speaker 6: have to wait and see what's going to happen.
Speaker 8: Rick, I don't like to call this old school baseball.
Speaker 8: It's just smart baseball. When you have a first baseman
Speaker 8: that's dealing with a bad right ankle, don't you believe
Speaker 8: the Padres might try to test Freddy Freeman and make
Speaker 8: him feel this exactly?
Speaker 6: And they have some guys that lays the buns down,
Speaker 6: including right at the top of the order with the
Speaker 6: Luisa rise. They've got some other guys that have very
Speaker 6: good speed. It was interesting what we saw while the
Speaker 6: Dodgers are taking batting practice, is it Freeman was down
Speaker 6: at first base and taking some ground balls. Then he
Speaker 6: came in was talking to two trainers, a coach, the
Speaker 6: president of baseball operations, and the president of the ball
Speaker 6: club and had a brief conversation with him. Then goes
Speaker 6: around and shakes some hands. So from the outward appearance
Speaker 6: of what we're looking down and seeing and that we're
Speaker 6: remote and not talked to to Freeman, and we saw
Speaker 6: him also spend a little time with Dave Roberts after
Speaker 6: he had been on the field. This is really a
Speaker 6: developing story, not only for tonight, but I think for
Speaker 6: the series.
Speaker 4: No doubt, and maybe for the rest of October.
Speaker 8: Rick the Dodgers had their hands full with Dylan Cees tonight.
Speaker 8: What can you tell us about the Padres starting.
Speaker 6: To pinchel A couple of different things. I don't know
Speaker 6: if you're into frisbee golf or not.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a fat sport on it.
Speaker 6: In fact, he and his dad owned two frisbee golf
Speaker 6: golf courses. But here's the deal. The Dodgors have to
Speaker 6: figure out hit the slider because a couple of years
Speaker 6: ago Dylan Cease, who is going to the pitch tonight
Speaker 6: against the Dodgers, really got into poetry and he wrote
Speaker 6: a poem about his slider, and he wrote it two
Speaker 6: years ago. Let me read it to you. Okay, this
Speaker 6: is oh slider slide by Dylan Cease. Oh slider slide,
Speaker 6: OH slider slide past the Batsman. I send my slider
Speaker 6: to hide. Oh slider slide, OH slider slide past the Batsman.
Speaker 6: I send that round cow hide, OH slider slide, OH
Speaker 6: slider slide. A fortune stake on you least I overstride,
Speaker 6: OH slider, OH slider slide in the strike zone. Indeed,
Speaker 6: a win is implied, OH slider slider, OH slider slide.
Speaker 6: The humans can't believe my three thousand rpm and fastball ride,
Speaker 6: OH slider slide, OH slider slide. Your execution can earn
Speaker 6: you a bride, OH slider slide, OH slider slide. Even
Speaker 6: the backup triede O slider slider slide to the back
Speaker 6: foot of a lefty check swing and the ump is wrong.
Speaker 6: That is the poetry written by tonight's starting pitcher for
Speaker 6: the The Pandres. Dylan c said he wrote it two
Speaker 6: years ago. I have a feeling just listening and reading
Speaker 6: to this, you're gonna see some sliders, I think.
Speaker 4: So that's a great sky something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, great, Scott, where's the last time you got a
Speaker 6: sky and report via a poem?
Speaker 4: I'm never okay, Thanks, Rick, we'll check back in with you.
Speaker 6: And Steven del Klass had it today.
Speaker 8: All right, great, we'll use that in the seventh inning stretch.
Speaker 8: We'll send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 8: It is high and tight it's Game one of the
Speaker 8: NLDS and we're joined right now by a Dodger that
Speaker 8: has certainly had his big moments in the postseason, and
Speaker 8: that is today's third baseman, Max Munsey. Max, thanks a
Speaker 8: lot for the time.
Speaker 9: Appreciate it always, David, always anything for you.
Speaker 8: Hey, it's appropriate that we're talking to you before the
Speaker 8: first postseason game this season because you have embraced this stage.
Speaker 8: What's it like being back out here again and having
Speaker 8: another opportunity at a World Series?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's always fun.
Speaker 9: This is this is why you play the game. And
Speaker 9: you know, a chance to play a first game at
Speaker 9: home in front of our fans in this stadium, you know,
Speaker 9: there's nothing better than that. This place is always electric.
Speaker 9: We love playing here. I've always loved playing here, and
Speaker 9: you know, I just it always has a different feel,
Speaker 9: especially in the postseason.
Speaker 8: You're a guy that's been around this ball club and
Speaker 8: has really been part of the fabric of the culture.
Speaker 8: How important is it for these group of Dodgers to
Speaker 8: not get too far ahead of yourselves.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, we have quite a few guys that
Speaker 9: haven't really experienced this yet on this team, and it's
Speaker 9: kind of fresh and it's kind of new for everybody,
Speaker 9: and you know, obviously the biggest one as our leadoff hitter. Yeah,
Speaker 9: you know, we're all really excited. And just as as
Speaker 9: the season kind of came to an end, it was
Speaker 9: you could definitely tell those guys that hadn't been here
Speaker 9: the energy they brought instead of bringing everyone else up
Speaker 9: a little bit. And I think you saw that during
Speaker 9: our last series against them. You know, just there was
Speaker 9: a ton of energy that we hadn't really had all
Speaker 9: year and it was a refreshing for us and it
Speaker 9: was something that we needed. And you know, it's been
Speaker 9: carrying over this whole week. We've had a really good
Speaker 9: week preparing and we've had really fun week preparing and
Speaker 9: you know it's hard to say that you have fun,
Speaker 9: but you know, we did get rewarded with a BUYE
Speaker 9: and that was something that we hadn't treated the last
Speaker 9: two years as was a reward. We were stressed out
Speaker 9: about it, trying to figure out what we wanted to do. So,
Speaker 9: you know, we approached it different this year, and we
Speaker 9: we were obviously very serious about our work and we
Speaker 9: actually probably got better work and than we had the
Speaker 9: last two years. While we're trying to have more fun.
Speaker 8: What was the biggest difference in preparation from the last
Speaker 8: two years to this year.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, we just did a lot of team
Speaker 9: events this year, you know, and that was something that
Speaker 9: me and Will and Mook and migiy Roe, we all
Speaker 9: put together that you know, we should have these watch
Speaker 9: parties after our workouts at the stadium, and you know,
Speaker 9: something we hadn't done before, and it was kind of
Speaker 9: just one of those things where it's like, you know,
Speaker 9: in the past, we've had these five days off and
Speaker 9: you know a lot of time you get to spend
Speaker 9: at home, and you know, when you're out here every
Speaker 9: single day as you as you know for eight months,
Speaker 9: when you include spring training, you're not used to being
Speaker 9: at home, and so when you're at home for five days,
Speaker 9: you know, it just kind of seeps in a little bit.
Speaker 9: And that's something that we try to change this year.
Speaker 9: We wanted to spend as much time as we could
Speaker 9: at the field, being together, being the boys, being a team,
Speaker 9: you know, just having fun team events, you know, doing
Speaker 9: things together as a group. And you know, we've definitely
Speaker 9: spent more time together these five days than we have in.
Speaker 8: The best Max you are one of the more confident guys,
Speaker 8: and you exude it, but respect your opponent. What's the
Speaker 8: balance between giving the Padres their due respect but not
Speaker 8: giving them too much respect and remembering, like Daniel Hudson
Speaker 8: did in New York, that you guys are still the
Speaker 8: Dodgers with the best record in baseball.
Speaker 9: Look, it's the postseason. There's no such thing as a
Speaker 9: bad team in the postseason. These guys are really good
Speaker 9: and that's really all you need to say about it.
Speaker 9: They're they're a really good team. But if you want
Speaker 9: to be the best, you have to beat the best.
Speaker 9: And so that's where we're at right now. We had
Speaker 9: to go out there and play our game, and we
Speaker 9: do feel like we're the best team out here and
Speaker 9: we have to prove it. But as I've told you,
Speaker 9: I don't know how many times this year, we're not
Speaker 9: necessarily playing the opponent as we're playing ourselves. And that's
Speaker 9: one of those things where you have to prepare properly.
Speaker 9: You have to game plan properly, you have to you know,
Speaker 9: go out there and X you things properly, and if
Speaker 9: you're able to play the game against yourself as good
Speaker 9: as you can, the opponent really shouldn't.
Speaker 8: Matter, makes sense. Max Mounsey is a World Series champion
Speaker 8: for a reason, bringing a champion attitude to this NLDS
Speaker 8: and beyond. Thanks a lot for the time, Max appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, always.
Speaker 8: There he is Max Munsey, Today's starting third baseman. We'll
Speaker 8: send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 5: All right, Tim, I'm here with Rick Monday and Mo
Speaker 5: Just one quick thing, right. I think the third straight
Speaker 5: year now that the Dodge are dealing with the whole
Speaker 5: rest versus rust conversation on the heels of a first
Speaker 5: round by in the postseason. Now five of the eight
Speaker 5: teams with buys heading into this year lost in the
Speaker 5: division series, the Dodgers two of those five losses. But
Speaker 5: I think what they can take some solace in today
Speaker 5: is seeing what Cleveland did to the Red Hot.
Speaker 6: Tigers and I think also this is the first year
Speaker 6: and how many of the Dodgers really had some important
Speaker 6: games towards the end of the year instead of coast Again,
Speaker 6: they didn't have the eight of the ten game lead
Speaker 6: going to the final week of the season. They had
Speaker 6: to kind of close it out and get some things done.
Speaker 6: All that being said, what I really love you can
Speaker 6: take the playoffs and now has expand it even more.
Speaker 6: Take all the facts and the numbers in the record. Yes,
Speaker 6: the p Andres that have won eight against the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers have won five against the p Andres. Put

Speaker 5: first pitch of his Major League Baseball postseason career. This
Speaker 5: is the guy who's had the ball on the international

Speaker 5: it for the Dodgers against the Padres. This division rivalry
Speaker 5: clashing in the postseason for a third time. The last
Speaker 5: five years, each team has won one series. So in
Speaker 5: a way, the rubber matches shorts here in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: All right, the Dodger lineup tonight looks very similar to
Speaker 2: what we saw down the stretch. Show Hey O Tani
Speaker 2: leading off at DH Mookie Bets batting second in right field.

Speaker 2: good to go despite the bad ankle. He will give
