Speaker 2: We got your Dodgers magical moment. Shortly, we'll check in
Speaker 2: with Kirsten Watson. In just a few minutes, we'll head
Speaker 2: out to the Galpamotors broadcast booth and check in with
Speaker 2: Tim Deffert and Rick Monday. Well, the Dodgers were last
Speaker 2: at it on Wednesday night at the Big A. Bobby
Speaker 2: Miller got the start. He d up going five innings.
Speaker 2: He gave up seven runs on five hits, and it
Speaker 2: was a disag aster a start for Bobby Miller, who
Speaker 2: gave up five runs in the bottom of the first inning.
Speaker 2: As the angel has exploded on Bobby Miller. They took
Speaker 2: him deep in the second, they took him deep in
Speaker 2: the fifth inning. He gives up officially seven runs over
Speaker 2: five innings, including three home runs. He struck out eight
Speaker 2: along the way. Michael Grove would pitch two innings of relief.
Speaker 2: He only gave up two hits along the way, and
Speaker 2: then Michael Peterson came in and pitched the eighth and
Speaker 2: he got lit up for three more runs on four
Speaker 2: hits in one inning of work.
Speaker 3: It was an ugly night for the.
Speaker 2: Dodgers, pitching the lone Bryant spot on offense well. It
Speaker 2: came into the top half of the seventh inning from
Speaker 2: Andy Pies.
Speaker 4: Dodgers three hits. Gavin Lux has two of them. He
Speaker 4: leads at second base OH one. Pie has struck some
Speaker 4: in the left field of base hit Let's is going
Speaker 4: round third.
Speaker 5: He'll come home to score. The Dodgers get on the board.
Speaker 5: It is seven to one.
Speaker 4: And Andy Pie is first at bat.
Speaker 2: Exit count Andy Paz delivering for the loan Dodger run
Speaker 2: and RBI single in the top half of the seventh
Speaker 2: inning on Wednesday night. That's the top tier play of
Speaker 2: the game sponsored by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers had six hits in the game. That was it.
Speaker 2: They stranded seven base runners. They were one for four
Speaker 2: runners in scoring position. Dave Roberts pulled the white flag,
Speaker 2: exiting guys early in this one. Is the Dodgers down
Speaker 2: seven to nothing before scoring that run in this seventh
Speaker 2: They go on and loose the Angels on Wednesday night
Speaker 2: by a final of ten to one. They get the
Speaker 2: split in Anaheim, finishing off that road trip that started
Speaker 2: at Arizona with taking three of four from the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: Dodgers down eighty four and fifty six on this season.
Speaker 2: Back at it tonight, landing neck on the mound first
Speaker 2: pitch at seven to ten and with more. Let's head
Speaker 2: out to the Galvin Motors broadcast booth, a steamy Dodgers
Speaker 2: Stadium on this Friday night and say hello to Tim
Speaker 2: Neffett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: A very warm evening here at Dodgers Stadium. We arrived
Speaker 4: this afternoon, temperatures solidly in the triple digits. It should
Speaker 4: cool off a little bit tonight, but it's going to
Speaker 4: be warm, as most of you know, over the next
Speaker 4: several days here in southern California, the Dodgers open up
Speaker 4: a series with the Cleveland Guardians. The Dodgers eighty four
Speaker 4: and fifty six, five games in front of the San
Speaker 4: Diego Padres in the Division, five and a half in
Speaker 4: front of Arizona. Meantime, the Guardians at eighty and sixty
Speaker 4: in Cleveland in the American League Central Division on top,
Speaker 4: four games in front of Minnesota, four and a half
Speaker 4: in front of Kansas City. Matthew Boyd, the left hander,
Speaker 4: will make his fifth start of the years he recovered
Speaker 4: from Tommy John surgery when the Guardian signed him and
Speaker 4: Landon Nack called up today. He will make his eleventh
Speaker 4: appearance and his ninth start for the Dodgers. He's two
Speaker 4: and two of the three zero era lot's going on
Speaker 4: involving pitching. We do know that Yoshinubu Yama Mota will
Speaker 4: come back Tuesday against the Cubs. Tyler glasnow has thrown
Speaker 4: a bullpen. He is trying to make his way back.
Speaker 4: But the big news today Gavin Stone placed on the
Speaker 4: injured list.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he goes on the injured list, and that is
Speaker 6: a big, big blow. Dave Roberts talking about Silic, here's
Speaker 6: a guy that has really kind of opened the door
Speaker 6: to his career. Question, now, is there time enough for
Speaker 6: him to come back? Robert seems to believe that there's
Speaker 6: a window of opportunity for him to do that. Meanwhile,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in search of their eighty fifth win of
Speaker 6: the season, as you were mentioning, and having won seven
Speaker 6: of ten, now that's the good news. Also good news
Speaker 6: they've won twelve and sixteen. The question is going to
Speaker 6: be on the road trip. Can the bullpen continued to
Speaker 6: go at the pace that they're going because the bullpen
Speaker 6: in the six games had only one inning less than
Speaker 6: the starting pitching was able to throw, and that has
Speaker 6: been a very heavy workload.
Speaker 5: That's a lot of usage.
Speaker 4: In fact, the bullpen ERA three sixty two, that's fifth
Speaker 4: in baseball. But they're taking on a team tonight, Mall
Speaker 4: that has the best ERA in baseball. Out of their
Speaker 4: bullpen two seventy seven. Cleveland can really pitch. The starters
Speaker 4: lately have been pitching exceptionally well and they have the
Speaker 4: best closer in the American League.
Speaker 5: And Emmanuel Classe.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's done a remarkable jobbing to hand the ball
Speaker 6: over to him. If you have a lead in that
Speaker 6: ninth inning, it's kind of closed the door and wait
Speaker 6: for tomorrow. But it's a ball club. Also, twenty first,
Speaker 6: as far as the average batting average of the team,
Speaker 6: they do score some runs, they do hit some home runs,
Speaker 6: and obviously if they go to base they have some speed.
Speaker 6: Their sixth highest total in stolen bases in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4: And we get now to a point where there is
Speaker 4: going to be twenty two games remaining, including tonight. Now,
Speaker 4: what do the Dodgers need to do to wrap things up? Well,
Speaker 4: if they've played just five hundred baseball, if they went
Speaker 4: eleven and eleven over the next twenty two games, including tonight,
Speaker 4: the Padres would have to go fifteen and five. In
Speaker 4: the meantime, the Diamondbacks would have to win seventeen games
Speaker 4: and go seventeen and four to not only catch the Dodgers,
Speaker 4: but to pass them. So if the Dodgers can play
Speaker 4: a little bit above five hundred, they're going to win
Speaker 4: the division.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Dodgers a little bit different in the
Speaker 6: lineup today. Will Smith back in there behind the plate
Speaker 6: doing the catching, Tommy Edmond again in center field. We
Speaker 6: got Rojas a short stop. Gavin lux will get the
Speaker 6: start against the left handed Boyd, and Kick k Hernanez
Speaker 6: will bat ninth and play at third base. Everything else
Speaker 6: remains the same at the top of the order with
Speaker 6: messrs Otani, Bets Freeman, and ti Oscar Hernandez.
Speaker 4: Interleague Baseball Cleveland is here to take on the Dodgers
Speaker 4: this weekend. First pitch not too far away, lefty Matthew
Speaker 4: Boyd taking on Dodgers right hander Landon Knack.
Speaker 2: Tim All right, thank you guys, As to Caull, you
Speaker 2: down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day
Speaker 2: meal on a Shaky's Pizza parlor, or to your Shaky's Pizza,

Speaker 2: to Dodgers and Cleveland Guardians on this hot Friday night.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kass, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: It's Morono Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on deck y'all on
Speaker 1: the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's Dodgers and Cleveland Guardians on this Friday night, Landing
Speaker 2: Net called up from Triple A, Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3: He gets to start.
Speaker 2: Matthew Boyd goes for the Guardians first pitch of seventeen.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani.
Speaker 5: Rewhy Well.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers had a rough night on Wednesday at the
Speaker 2: Big A and Anaheim. The Dodgers got beat ten to one,
Speaker 2: just six hits in the game. Shoey Otani was oer
Speaker 2: for fourth to strikeout and now betting two to ninety
Speaker 2: on this season and still on a fifty fifty watch.
Speaker 2: Otani Rewind brought to you by Eto ns Oyocha, Japan's
Speaker 2: number one green tea and the tea that showey Otani
Speaker 2: loves and drinks. He'll bi a local Diso stores, Amazon
Speaker 2: and eto in dot com.
Speaker 3: That's I T O E N.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirsten now joins is from Dodger Stadium before the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Guardians of the Big News this afternoon. Kirston
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone the latest Dodger pitcher to hit the IL.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's look, I mean you hear it in
Speaker 7: your voice. It's this one was a heartbreaking one because
Speaker 7: Gavin has been such a crucial just part of the
Speaker 7: rotation at the moment. So he's going on the IL
Speaker 7: with shoulder inflammation. Andrew Friedman addressed the media today as
Speaker 7: well as Dave Roberts. Per usual, and Andrew was saying
Speaker 7: that they're gonna shut him down for ten to twelve
Speaker 7: days and then the hole. Best case scenario is that
Speaker 7: after these ten to twelve days he can start getting
Speaker 7: ramped back up.
Speaker 2: That is, if.
Speaker 7: Everything goes correctly. So, you know, hopefully. Obviously when it
Speaker 7: comes to Gavinstone, he's such a competitor and this is
Speaker 7: not something that you know, he wants to be dealing with.
Speaker 7: You understand just how important he's been to the rotation.
Speaker 7: He's probably been the most steady pitcher that this team
Speaker 7: has had this year, especially when it comes to guys
Speaker 7: dealing with different injuries and things like that. So you know,
Speaker 7: it's just it's a heartbreaking move that he has to
Speaker 7: go on the IL right now and he had an
Speaker 7: MRI and things like that, and just the fact that
Speaker 7: he had to have that MRI just shows that, you know,
Speaker 7: he's been in some pain. So hopefully these next two
Speaker 7: weeks can allow him to just kind of get some
Speaker 7: of that information down, give him time to reset, because
Speaker 7: even I like what Dave Roberts was saying today, it's
Speaker 7: just when you look at what gadden season has been,
Speaker 7: the fact that he was so close to being named
Speaker 7: an All Star this year. He's been such a performer
Speaker 7: for this team, been such a consistic key for this team.
Speaker 7: So the fact that it could end this way and
Speaker 7: that would just be a really you know, disheartening way
Speaker 7: for his season to end. So fingers crossed and hopefully
Speaker 7: he'll be able to make it back because obviously, look
Speaker 7: this rotation is going to need him come October.
Speaker 2: You know, injuries provide opportunities for guys to come in
Speaker 2: and step in and fill the Gavin Stone did that
Speaker 2: when other Dodger pitchers went on the injured list at
Speaker 2: the beginning of this season. That allowed him to have
Speaker 2: twenty five starts at the big leagues and have the
Speaker 2: eleven win season that he's had. So one of these
Speaker 2: young guys you're gonna have to step up and raise
Speaker 2: their hand and take this ball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think it's like, not even just the
Speaker 7: young guys. I mean, we've been seeing from whether it's Walker,
Speaker 7: Bueller or Bobby Miller. You know, there are also guys
Speaker 7: and we've been seeing it with Walker, who's now kind
Speaker 7: of gotten a little bit more of a rhythm to
Speaker 7: his stuff and feeling like he's, you know, building with
Speaker 7: each outing. But he's someone who's gonna have to kind
Speaker 7: of rise the casion and be a guy come October,
Speaker 7: which we've seen before, but now it's time for him
Speaker 7: to get back to it. You're gonna have someone like
Speaker 7: Bobby Miller who's gonna have to figure out some sequencing
Speaker 7: things for him, because there are times where the stuff
Speaker 7: is electric, but then there are also times where it
Speaker 7: seems like he's getting predictable. And then you have other
Speaker 7: guys who are now you know, even younger, and it's
Speaker 7: Landon Neck is being called up today. He's had some
Speaker 7: really quality starts with this team and so now it's
Speaker 7: time for him if he wants to really build out
Speaker 7: opportunity for himself. If he can perform and keep it going,
Speaker 7: he can just serve that opportunity. Then there's Justin Robleski. Yes,
Speaker 7: the last one out and did kind of get punched
Speaker 7: in the teeth a little bit, but he was able
Speaker 7: to go. He played through it, you know, got into
Speaker 7: the sixth inning, and I think that was huge just
Speaker 7: considering where the bullpen is at. He is either going
Speaker 7: to have the start tomorrow or he's going to have
Speaker 7: an opener ahead of him, but he is expected to
Speaker 7: take the bulk of the innings and if he can
Speaker 7: perform well, then I think more opportunity will come for
Speaker 7: him as well. Dave Roberts did say today that it
Speaker 7: really just depends. There's not many arms that are available,
Speaker 7: and so while someone like Tyler Glass now is getting healthier, yes,
Speaker 7: you know, but we know it's going to start on Tuesday,
Speaker 7: So there are still a few holes. With Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 7: still down, there are some holes that still need to
Speaker 7: be filled.
Speaker 5: And so if these.
Speaker 7: Guys can step up right now, they can be that
Speaker 7: guy to I don't know, maybe come in and save
Speaker 7: the team. It feels like, but you know now they
Speaker 7: do have an opportunity ahead of them, and the hope
Speaker 7: is they do take advantage of it.
Speaker 3: We shall see appreciate it. Currison.
Speaker 2: We'll check in with you after the game, Dodger fans

Speaker 2: come here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll dive deeper to
Speaker 2: this pitching matchup. We'll check in with David Vasse, we'll
Speaker 2: hear from Andrew Freeman, and we'll get you more of
Speaker 2: an injury report. We're leading you up to Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Guardians on this Friday night.
Speaker 5: It's hot.
Speaker 2: First pitch is sevent ten on tim Kasis, Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Cassino Dodgers Hunters game on your home
Speaker 1: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this hot Friday
Speaker 2: night here in Southern California.
Speaker 3: Lead you up to first pitch.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Guardians Marongo Casino Resort and Spa, a Grand
Speaker 2: Slam for good times.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: President of my UCLA Healthy official medical partner the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Gavin's own place on the I L just
Speaker 2: a few hours ago with right shoulder inflammation. We'll hear
Speaker 2: from Andrew Freeman and Dave Roberts coming up in just
Speaker 2: a little bit. Dave Roberts here momentarily, Clayton Cursh on
Speaker 2: the IEL, the turf toe in his left big toe,
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass down the IELT, the right L O ten
Speaker 2: and night is Bruce dar Grader on the ie L
Speaker 2: with the right hamstring strand Yoshinobiyamamoto on the I L
Speaker 2: since June. He is scheduled to come off the I
Speaker 2: L on Tuesday night. All right, let's head back out
Speaker 2: to Dodgers Dad. He've been check out the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 5: Anything else?
Speaker 8: The questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: We're gonna have enough pitching. The names might be a
Speaker 9: little bit different, So I just don't know. I don't
Speaker 9: think anyone knows, you know, who or who's not going
Speaker 9: to be a part of it. It's been a more
Speaker 9: challenging year, certainly, but it's it's part of it. I think,
Speaker 9: you know, other teams are going through it, and fortunately
Speaker 9: we have a lot of depth and have given a
Speaker 9: lot of guys opportunities, and our guys have done a
Speaker 9: great job of not fretting, continue to move forward, you know,
Speaker 9: remaining positive. And I think the main thing is, you know,
Speaker 9: whatever day that we play baseball, you know, you look
Speaker 9: at the locker room and see who's available, and you
Speaker 9: try to win a game that day. And I don't
Speaker 9: mean to sound insensitive, but that's just the way we
Speaker 9: have to look at and I think that's that's kind of,
Speaker 9: you know, a way to kind of manage some of
Speaker 9: this stuff too.
Speaker 8: Said of seeing.
Speaker 9: It's it's it's difficult. I think that you know, every
Speaker 9: pitcher is different, their their stories, their journeys. But like Gavin,
Speaker 9: for one, it's I hope that we can get him
Speaker 9: back because you know, he is arguably this is a
Speaker 9: breakthrough year for him and he picked us up a lot, arguably,
Speaker 9: you know, on the tip of the scale about making
Speaker 9: the All Star team and tend so to be able
Speaker 9: to potentially not see this through that would be really disheartening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be feel bad for Gavin Stone. Hopefully
Speaker 2: the inflammation could come down in the next ten days
Speaker 2: and they can ramp him back up for October. We'll
Speaker 2: find out. Dave roberts Down the dug out brought to
Speaker 2: you by Service Titan. Dave Robertson isn't Titan in his
Speaker 2: own right, and he's got a plan before his team
Speaker 2: hits the field.
Speaker 3: You need one for your growing contracting business too.
Speaker 2: Let Service Titan help you implement and learn more at
Speaker 2: service Titan dot com. And we continue here on Dodgers
Speaker 2: on Deck. We will check in with David Bass say
Speaker 2: the lead. You have to first pitch Dodgers and Guardians.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kass, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio door.
Speaker 1: This is the Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Yeah, on your
Speaker 1: home for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in Cleveland, Guardians on this Friday night,
Speaker 2: Land and Neck.
Speaker 3: He gets to start for the Blue.
Speaker 2: The umpiring crew for tonight's game brought to you by
Speaker 2: Fred Lloyer Insurance, celebrating fifty years of providing a reliable
Speaker 2: and affordable car insurance for you and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse right.
Speaker 2: DV another day, another Dodger starter on the injured list.
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone goes to the IL what is this state
Speaker 2: of this staff right now?
Speaker 10: Well, right now, very thin, Tim, And if you look
Speaker 10: at the Dodgers as they get closer to the postseason,
Speaker 10: that may be their one vulnerability, and a big one
Speaker 10: is they're starting pitching right now. If the playoffs were
Speaker 10: to start, Jack Flaherty and Walker Bueller would be your
Speaker 10: first two starters.
Speaker 5: So it's an issue.
Speaker 10: But the playoffs don't start tomorrow, and the Dodgers are
Speaker 10: optimistic that Tyler glass Now and Yoshi Yamamoto will be
Speaker 10: ready for the NLDS. Glass Now is throwing a bullpen
Speaker 10: session tomorrow, Yamamoto is starting on Tuesday. And also the
Speaker 10: Dodgers have been encouraged by what they've seen from Walker
Speaker 10: Buehler in his last two starts. So I know right
Speaker 10: now it doesn't look great, but obviously if glass Now
Speaker 10: and Yamamoto are healthy, that changes the complexion of their
Speaker 10: staff going into the postseason.
Speaker 8: No doubt.
Speaker 3: Damn it is gervened by four. There's one thing we like.
Speaker 3: It's choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours with the Ford F one to fifty gas
Speaker 2: hybrid all electric tough. This mark can only be called
Speaker 2: the Ford F one fifty. Is there maybe a former
Speaker 2: Dodger David that could be an option to help out
Speaker 2: in this rotation?
Speaker 10: Well, you've heard me talk about Richell before he was
Speaker 10: signed by the Red Sox, but today he was let
Speaker 10: go by the Red Sox. They had only used him
Speaker 10: in relief. And the Dodgers are a little thin right
Speaker 10: now without Gavin Stone as they wait for Tyler glass
Speaker 10: Now and Clayton Kershaw to come back. So rich Hill
Speaker 10: is available, Tim, and the Dodgers could use a starting
Speaker 10: pitcher with some experience and.
Speaker 5: A guy that could give them some length.
Speaker 10: So rich Hill is not on his way to LA
Speaker 10: right now, But I can offer Andrew Friedman his cell
Speaker 10: phone number if he needs it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe shoot him at text?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 3: All right, David showyl Tani.
Speaker 2: We know he's chasing fifty to fifty, But he's also
Speaker 2: looking to break a Dodger record.
Speaker 10: Right If he goes fifty to fifty, that would mean
Speaker 10: he would break Sean Green single season Dodger record of
Speaker 10: forty nine home runs back in two thousand and one.
Speaker 10: So it's not just about becoming the first fifty and
Speaker 10: fifty player in baseball history. In the process, he would
Speaker 10: break Sean Green's record. One thing to keep in mind
Speaker 10: about Otawi, Yes, he has had an amazing season, but
Speaker 10: the second half of the year has not been as
Speaker 10: consistent offensively as we had seen in the first half.
Speaker 10: Otani is only hitting two thirty four in the second
Speaker 10: half of the season, but he does have fifteen home runs,
Speaker 10: so we'll see whether or not the batting average comes
Speaker 10: up in the process of the home runs going out.
Speaker 2: Dave real Quick earlier on five seventy with Petrol some money,
Speaker 2: you were talking about something that you did with the
Speaker 2: grounds crew there at Dodgers Stadium because it's a hot
Speaker 2: one out there today.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we got Jordan Lorenz, the crew chief of the
Speaker 10: grounds crew, to get the meat thermometer out and tell
Speaker 10: us how hot it was on the field. That was
Speaker 10: at three o'clock this afternoon and it was one hundred
Speaker 10: and ten degrees. Luckily for everybody in attendance tonight, it
Speaker 10: is a seven to ten start, and right now as
Speaker 10: we look out on the field, it is covered in shade,
Speaker 10: so things have cooled off here considerably. If you're coming
Speaker 10: to the game tonight.

Speaker 3: Still to come.
Speaker 2: Here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll dive deeper to this
Speaker 2: pitchy match up. We're gonna hear from Andrew Freeman as well.
Speaker 1: But first and now joined by David Basse. Here's La
Speaker 1: Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: For a kid from Santa Monica.
Speaker 10: I'm not sure Frick Monday ever felt this type of
Speaker 10: heat at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6: No, I was a little bit closer to that big
Speaker 6: air conditioning machine called the Pacific Ocean. Kids from you
Speaker 6: were a valley guy, you're kind of used to this
Speaker 6: growing up.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, this is a cool day in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, that's when you walk outside and say, hello, neighbor,
Speaker 6: it's another another beautiful day. Yeah, it's a little bit warm,
Speaker 6: but it's been warmer at various times.
Speaker 5: You would be happy.
Speaker 10: I sent the head of the grounds crew, Jordan Lorenz,
Speaker 10: to get a meat thermometer. We put it on the
Speaker 10: grass around three o'clock this afternoon, Rick, and we saw
Speaker 10: the temperature climb little by little to one hundred and
Speaker 10: ten degrees at three o'clock.
Speaker 5: Luckily it won't be that at game time.
Speaker 6: Well, let me tell you, let me kind of cheer
Speaker 6: you up. And obviously this was well before the game,
Speaker 6: but it has actually cooled off. In fact, it's still
Speaker 6: and about twenty minutes ago the heat index was still
Speaker 6: well above one hundred. But it is right at the
Speaker 6: century mark at the present time. But you know, it
Speaker 6: is what it is, and the movie that's would say, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: well that's exactly it. So we'll figure out what's going
Speaker 6: to happen. But I mean, you look at a good ballgame,
Speaker 6: I mean two first placed teams, the Dodgers of course
Speaker 6: leading the West, and then you look at Cleveland coming in.
Speaker 6: They're leading the America League Central Division. So you get
Speaker 6: set for hopefully a very good game, and for the Dodgers,
Speaker 6: they need to figure out. You know, you and I
Speaker 6: both looked at something. I did not know that you
Speaker 6: saw something on television today and I brought it up
Speaker 6: there on this date in nineteen eighty five, there's a
Speaker 6: pretty good matchup Dwight Gooden going for the Mets in
Speaker 6: Fernando Venezuela for the Dodgers. Fernando that day, even though
Speaker 6: they lost two to nothing, Fernando went eleven innings in
Speaker 6: that game before two run doubled by Darryl Strongering.
Speaker 10: It's amazing in this day and age of allowing pitchers
Speaker 10: only to see the lineup two times around, that both
Speaker 10: those pitchers would duel for nine scoreless innings. Gooden comes
Speaker 10: out and Fernando goes eleven scoreless.
Speaker 5: That's unheard of.
Speaker 6: Well, let me put it in perspective, because here's some
Speaker 6: notes that came with and Tim Nevert and I will
Speaker 6: talk about it a little bit more either on the
Speaker 6: pregame show or during the game itself. If we look
Speaker 6: at this road trip, Okay, the Dodgers won four of
Speaker 6: the six games, taking three out of four in Arizona,
Speaker 6: then splitting the two games down at Anaheim. That's the
Speaker 6: good news. They went four and two. Is it concerning
Speaker 6: it all that they were outscored thirty nine runs to
Speaker 6: forty seven. Is it upsetting to look at it and say, hey, look,
Speaker 6: starting pitchers went twenty seven innings in those six games,
Speaker 6: and the bullpen covered twenty six innings in those games.
Speaker 10: Well, that's the one concern as we get closer to
Speaker 10: the postseason, Rick, is the vulnerability of the Dodgers pitching.
Speaker 10: It's kind of strange when you're excited more about bullpen
Speaker 10: sessions and rehab games than you are about what's happening
Speaker 10: on the field. So hopefully glass Now and Yamamoto come
Speaker 10: back sooner rather than later.
Speaker 6: Yamamoto on Tuesday exactly, And then we find out today
Speaker 6: that Gavin Stone is going to miss at least a
Speaker 6: couple of starts. Dave Roberts saying the look and maybe
Speaker 6: he'd be back in the fold with another start, but
Speaker 6: he's being removed from that. So for Landon Nack, here's
Speaker 6: the ball. First pitches at seven to ten, go get him.
Speaker 10: Landon Neck makes me feel uncomfortable in a good way
Speaker 10: because when I go into the clubhouse, he's one of
Speaker 10: those starting pitchers that.
Speaker 5: We'll talk to you yep.
Speaker 10: And obviously being around the game as long as not
Speaker 10: as long as you have, but being around it, you
Speaker 10: don't even look at pitchers.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 10: But he got up and said hello and embraced and
Speaker 10: I was like, oh boy.
Speaker 6: He's a different than Kevin Brown was not only when
Speaker 6: he was here Brown, you waited to the second day
Speaker 6: after he pitched, even the grunt hello. Don Sutton was
Speaker 6: just the opposite way. In fact, Don Sutton would actually
Speaker 6: give interviews prior to the game in front of his
Speaker 6: locker with any of the members of the media that
Speaker 6: really covering the ball game.
Speaker 10: Landon Neck is one of the more under heralded players
Speaker 10: on this team.
Speaker 5: Eight starts.
Speaker 10: Rick with the era F two I hope he gets
Speaker 10: more of an opportunity.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and then you start to look. Also, he's handled
Speaker 6: left handed batters very well. And I bring that up
Speaker 6: because if we look at the Cleveland lineup today, they
Speaker 6: have one, two, three, four five natural left handed batters
Speaker 6: and then to switch hitters and landon Nac against lefties
Speaker 6: just a one sixty nine average against them.
Speaker 5: I want more landon knack Rick.
Speaker 6: Okay, And concerns about Bobby Miller. That was not a
Speaker 6: good outing, he said he pitched well, I didn't really
Speaker 6: see that, but hopefully he's gonna step it up in
Speaker 6: the next outing. I think is gonna have to be
Speaker 6: a very very big one for Bobby Miller.
Speaker 5: We'll get to that next Wednesday. Thanks Rick, We'll take
Speaker 5: him with you. Yeah, we'll send it back to you
Speaker 5: in the studio.
Speaker 2: Tim, all right, Thanks a lot, guys, Dodgers fans, start
Speaker 2: your future at California Community College.
Speaker 3: Financially, it's available to help.

Speaker 2: up quickly, so en roll today and I can go
Speaker 2: to college dot com. Still to come here on Dodgers
Speaker 2: on neckl get to a preview this bitching matchup. Tim
Speaker 2: and Rick will get to the keys of the game.
Speaker 3: But I'm next.
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from Andrew Friedman Dodgers Guardians. First pitch
Speaker 2: of seven ten. I'm sim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers a LOGI.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunter's game on your home
Speaker 1: for LA, Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Guardians LANDONNAC Matthew Boyd. The bitching matchup will dot
Speaker 2: deeper in the numbers coming up.
Speaker 3: It just a little bit.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Baseball is presented by Children's Hospital LA. When you

Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vasse fielding insults from
Speaker 1: a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This this high and tight.
Speaker 10: Earlier today at Dodgers Stadium, Andrew Freeman spoke to us
Speaker 10: after the news that Gavin Stone is heading to the
Speaker 10: IL and also addressed all the pitch injuries the Dodgers
Speaker 10: and other Major League teams have had to undergo this season.
Speaker 11: I'm optimistic he is going to do everything he possibly can.
Speaker 8: There's just so much unknown around it that you know, we're.
Speaker 11: Gonna do all we can to dominate each day and
Speaker 11: hopefully when he starts throwing, he didn't ramp up from there.
Speaker 8: It's just hard to speculate right now.
Speaker 10: Andrew's taking the ball every time you guys have asked him,
Speaker 10: more starts, more innings than any other pitcher this year.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like he was compromising his shoulder just
Speaker 5: to be there for the team? Are you aware of
Speaker 5: him pitching through something?
Speaker 8: No? No, This popped up after the last one, and.
Speaker 11: You know, he had an unbelievable winner to put himself
Speaker 11: in this position that he did, to go into spring
Speaker 11: training and win a rotation spot and take the ball
Speaker 11: every turn, and it's been a big part of the
Speaker 11: success we've had to this point.
Speaker 8: So it's tough, and I know what a competitor he is,
Speaker 8: and he wants to.
Speaker 11: Do everything he can to get back out there as
Speaker 11: quickly as he can. You know, on one hand, you know,
Speaker 11: this year feels like it.
Speaker 8: Has been extreme in terms of the picture injuries and
Speaker 8: what we've gone through.
Speaker 11: And obviously with that has come opportunity, and a lot
Speaker 11: of our young guys have come up and helped keep
Speaker 11: us in the position we're in right now. Some guys
Speaker 11: will hopefully be getting back soon, but it's been a
Speaker 11: really challenging year on that front and something that we're
Speaker 11: gonna need to spend a lot of time on this
Speaker 11: winner to really dig in on and from when we
Speaker 11: onboard a pitcher, when we draft or trade for him
Speaker 11: through the development path at the major league level.
Speaker 8: Obviously, it's a problem in the industry.
Speaker 11: And the injuries that are happening to us we feel
Speaker 11: the injuries that are happening to other teams, we don't
Speaker 11: feel as much and hit home quite the same way.
Speaker 11: And so we're going to do everything we can to
Speaker 11: put ourselves in the best position going forward. But obviously
Speaker 11: all of our focus right now is on doing what
Speaker 11: we can to finish the regular season strong, be in
Speaker 11: the best position to go out and win, you know,
Speaker 11: hopefully eleven games in October.
Speaker 8: I'm guessing you thin mL and more some of the
Speaker 8: results from that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think if you mri any pitchers
Speaker 11: arm in September, they're not Christine And it's really more
Speaker 11: symptom based. It wasn't something that it was like, oh,
Speaker 11: we need to have surgery. It was, hey, let's let
Speaker 11: everything calm down, let's pick back up a ball and
Speaker 11: see where you're at. And to the extent he comes
Speaker 11: back and feels good and doesn't have symptoms, and I
Speaker 11: think we're in a good spot. If he does pick
Speaker 11: up the ball and have problems, then we're in a
Speaker 11: tough spot and so we'll have a much better feel
Speaker 11: for that once we get back to the throwing phase.
Speaker 8: Of where we are.
Speaker 2: How disappointed is see that to him?
Speaker 11: I mean, he's an awesome competitor and he just wants
Speaker 11: to be out there. He wants to be out there
Speaker 11: helping the guys, and you know, he's taking them all
Speaker 11: every turn so far this year has been a big
Speaker 11: part of what.
Speaker 8: We've been able to accomplish.
Speaker 11: You know, he is a great story of someone who
Speaker 11: struggled some last year. Obviously the talent level wasn't any different,
Speaker 11: but he went about.
Speaker 8: Tweaking his arsenal and had.
Speaker 11: A really good winner and put himself in a position
Speaker 11: to come and win a rotation spot.
Speaker 8: So, uh, you know, everyone in.
Speaker 11: That room is rooting for him to get back as
Speaker 11: quickly as possible, and we're gonna do everything we can.
Speaker 11: How long is he gonna be a shut down from
Speaker 11: bront I, I think like ten tennis days, and we'll
Speaker 11: just kind of evaluate and see where we're at with strength.
Speaker 8: Symptoms and go from there. Hops he given a calendar
Speaker 8: like how tight of a window is up for him.
Speaker 11: To even be an oper For you guys, I mean again,
Speaker 11: I think it's really it's either going to work or
Speaker 11: it's not.
Speaker 8: And I can sit here and say I'm really optimistic
Speaker 8: and we just don't know.
Speaker 11: And so instead of saying, oh, we're confident in this,
Speaker 11: but we don't really know.
Speaker 8: But I am very confident that.
Speaker 11: With our training staff, with Gab, he'll do everything he
Speaker 11: possibly can to and so at the extending he's able
Speaker 11: to pick up a.
Speaker 8: Bone and start going, I'm not worried, but we won't
Speaker 8: know that really until we get there.
Speaker 10: So Dodgers are still holding out hope that Gavin Stone
Speaker 10: can respond to treatment and possibly pitch by the end
Speaker 10: of this season. And Andrew Freeman obviously take an inventory
Speaker 10: on why all these young pitchers have gotten injured this season.
Speaker 5: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 2: Tim, all right, thanks a lot of DV. Certainly a

Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers, ain't Cleveland Guardians. It started a three

Speaker 2: first place a top the AL Central landing that called
Speaker 2: up from Triple A Oklahoma City go to against veteran
Speaker 2: left hander Matthew Boyd. First pitch coming up at seven
Speaker 2: to ten. Dodger fans and hands are listening and experience

Speaker 2: serving all Angelinos Lacare dot org. All right, before first pitch,
Speaker 2: let's head back out to the booth. Tim Never at
Speaker 2: Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, Thanks Tam, We get you ready for this one tonight.
Speaker 4: No jacket required at Dodger Stadium tonight, as temperatures are
Speaker 4: very high. They should be in the nineties by game time.
Speaker 4: As the Dodgers get set to take on these Cleveland Guardians,
Speaker 4: Matthew Boyd, the left hander one and one a two
Speaker 4: three eight ERA, makes his fifth start. One thing about Boyd,
Speaker 4: he has been able to keep the ball on the ground.
Speaker 4: He's only allowed two home runs on the season so far.
Speaker 4: Granted it's been limited duty because he was still returning
Speaker 4: from Tommy John surgery, but in his time out there pitching,
Speaker 4: he has limited opposition long balls.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and for Boyd, the Dodgers no full well fastball
Speaker 6: just about a third of the time. Very good changeup
Speaker 6: also throws it close to thirty percent of the time.
Speaker 6: Low batting average against as well, just one seventy five.
Speaker 6: And if you look at Landon Knack, who's going for
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, also very low in the average, in particular
Speaker 6: with runners in scoring position. Landonnack has given up just
Speaker 6: a one sixty batting average against and the big key
Speaker 6: against lefties, just one sixty nine. I mentioned that because
Speaker 6: including switch hitters in Cleveland's lineup, he'll face seven different lefties.
Speaker 4: Including Jose ram He is their best hitter who is
Speaker 4: very good from the left side. So Landon Nack taking
Speaker 4: on Matthew Boyd as we get you ready for this
Speaker 4: one here at Dodgers Stadium, the Dodgers and the Cleveland Guardians.
Speaker 4: Dodgers took two of three two years ago here at
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium. Last year, Cleveland took two of three. And
Speaker 4: this one starts in just a little bit tim all right.
Speaker 2: Dodgers first place atop the NL West. They lead the
Speaker 2: San Diego Padres by five games, five and a half
Speaker 2: games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks. We'll keep an eye
Speaker 2: on what's happening around baseball, including in Houston, where the
Speaker 2: Astros lead the Diamondbacks for nothing. In the bottom half
Speaker 2: of the sixth inning down at Petco Park, they are
Speaker 2: already underway. Bottom of the first inning. Didn't take long.
Speaker 2: Padres up three to nothing on the Giants, so we'll
Speaker 2: keep you updated all night long as the race in
Speaker 2: the NL West heats up here in September. Up next,
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Guardians First Pitch.
Speaker 3: Enjoy it.
