Speaker 2: World Series champion has gotten off to a better start
Speaker 2: than the Dodgers, match by only the nineteen thirty three Yankees,
Speaker 2: who are also seven to zero after sweeping the Tigers
Speaker 2: and taking the first two from the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 3: Tonight, the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Go for the sweep in the final game of the
Speaker 2: opening homestand Blake Snell on the mound, first pitch coming
Speaker 2: up at five thirty eight. Between then and now, we
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to here. I'm Arago Casino,

Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper into this pitch.
Speaker 3: He matchup.
Speaker 2: David Vase goes one on one with Dustin May. More
Speaker 2: on him in a second. We've got your Dodgers magical moment,
Speaker 2: your prize picks, double play of the day.
Speaker 3: Shortly, we'll visit.
Speaker 2: With Kirsten Watson, you got your Otani rewind on this
Speaker 2: showy Otani Bobblehead night out at Dodger Staateum. Hoping you're
Speaker 2: picking up your bobblehead on the way inside to Dodger Staateum.
Speaker 2: In just a few minutes, we'll check in with Stephen
Speaker 2: Nelson and Rick Monday at the Galpa Motors Broadcast booth.
Speaker 2: Well last night at the Ravine Dustin May his first
Speaker 2: start in six hundred and eighty five days, a long
Speaker 2: road back from an arm injury and a scare, Dustin
Speaker 2: May five solid innings, allowed one run unearned on one hit,
Speaker 2: while striking out five along the way. The only runn
Speaker 2: He gave up came in the third, a throwing air
Speaker 2: by Mookie Betts, bringing in the Braves' only run as
Speaker 2: they took a one to nothing lead. The Dodgers offense
Speaker 2: needed a few spins around the lineup to get after
Speaker 2: Brave's leftender Chris Sale.
Speaker 3: Finally, in the sixth.
Speaker 2: They did show Hey o'tani a leadoff single next batter
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts.
Speaker 4: Heerv Red Sox World Series Championship teammates going at it
Speaker 4: here at Dodgers Stadium, Sale against bets the one to
Speaker 4: one pitch Mookie flap off left.
Speaker 5: Field, going back toward the wall.
Speaker 6: It is good.
Speaker 7: Oh did do?
Speaker 5: Gookie pumps his fist twice as he hits third base
Speaker 5: and gives the Dodgers a lead to run home run
Speaker 5: for Mookie Betts, his third of the year.
Speaker 2: That's the top tier play the game brought to my
Speaker 2: Arco quality, top tier gas for less Dodgers grabbing a
Speaker 2: two to one lead. Tommy Edmund followed up with a
Speaker 2: home run well a single that is the braves mided
Speaker 2: pitching changed. Two batters later, Will Smith would tack onto
Speaker 2: the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Lead behind ohe two Dodgers were great with two strikes
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 8: Here's the pitch Smith through the right side base It
Speaker 8: RBI single for Smith. Edmund touches home and it's three
Speaker 8: to one.
Speaker 2: RBI single the right for Will Smith is fifth run
Speaker 2: bat and in of the season.
Speaker 3: Dodgers a three to one lead.
Speaker 2: Dustin May with the five innings, turned it over to
Speaker 2: the Anthony Bonda scoreless sixth Indian Alex Vessi has struck
Speaker 2: out two in a scoreless seventh blake trying to pitch
Speaker 2: the eighth kept the Braves off the board. Then the
Speaker 2: ninth belonged to Tanner Scott, who put up a zero.
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Braves last night three to one to
Speaker 2: start the season seven and oh, the best start in
Speaker 2: La Dodgers history. Only the nineteen fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers
Speaker 2: have had a better start. At ten to zero. Tonight,
Speaker 2: they wrap up this three game series against the Braves
Speaker 2: as they.
Speaker 3: Look for a sweep.
Speaker 2: On show, Hey O, Tony Bobblehead night, Blake's now on
Speaker 2: the mount and with more, let's head out to the
Speaker 2: Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello to Stephen
Speaker 2: Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 8: Guys, sim Kates, you're back at the stadium.
Speaker 4: A little earlier for this series finale is the Dodgers
Speaker 4: try to sweep the Atlanta Braves today, mo, and if
Speaker 4: they do, they would remain unbeaten. Moved to eight and oh,
Speaker 4: that would be the best start ever for a reigning
Speaker 4: World Series champion.
Speaker 6: You start to look at the record books and then say, oh,
Speaker 6: my goodness, tremendous start, no question about it. And for
Speaker 6: a lot of reasons, the offense, timely hitting. You look
Speaker 6: at the pitching that's been a terrific bull. Ben's been sensational. Again.
Speaker 6: The other part too, they have not really beaten themselves
Speaker 6: from a defensive standpoint. They've run the bases very aggressively,
Speaker 6: very thoughtfully on top of it, and they've also played
Speaker 6: against ball clubs let's be honest, that have not really
Speaker 6: gotten un tracked. You can apply that to the Atlanta Braids.
Speaker 6: When the Braves finally wake up from an offensive standpoint,
Speaker 6: they're gonna put runs up on the board. That's not
Speaker 6: been the case so far. They're zero to six this year.
Speaker 6: Tigers didn't really swing the bath particularly well. The Cubs
Speaker 6: over in Tokyo didn't swing the bass particularly well. Meanwhile,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have simply taken care of business right.
Speaker 8: It's the thing with good teams.
Speaker 4: You beat bad teams and then you take advantage of
Speaker 4: when good teams aren't playing well. And that's exactly what
Speaker 4: the Dodgers have done up to this point.
Speaker 8: And make no mistake, the Dodgers are a great team.
Speaker 4: Clearly, as we are here on show, Hey Otani MVP
Speaker 4: Bobblehead night we look out and left field mo he's
Speaker 4: throwing on flat ground currently he's batting lead off tonight,
Speaker 4: No Freddy Freeman once again in the lineup, and you
Speaker 4: know how bad he's wanted to play the last few days.
Speaker 4: Never liked sitting, especially against his former club in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: But putting yourself in the mindset of Dave Roberts in
Speaker 4: the front office looking at Freddy, One, it's a long season,
Speaker 4: and two you got along road trip with some cold weather,
Speaker 4: some wet forecasts on tap.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and at about two o'clock this afternoon, Freeman was
Speaker 6: actually on the field taking ground balls and covering first
Speaker 6: base and working out for about twenty minutes. Then he
Speaker 6: went back inside. We had to wait a while to
Speaker 6: see exactly what was going to entail the Dodgers starting lineup,
Speaker 6: So not in there again.
Speaker 8: Today.
Speaker 6: It'll be Kicky Hernanez getting another start at first base,
Speaker 6: and we the off day tomorrow. Yes, it's a travel day,
Speaker 6: but let him, being Freddy Freeman, get that extra day
Speaker 6: and maybe become full circle because as you mentioned, I'm
Speaker 6: not really certain how many games are going to be
Speaker 6: played on this road trip because of the possibility of
Speaker 6: inclement weather.
Speaker 4: So ta Oscar Hernanez will bat third. Michael Confordo draws
Speaker 4: back in the lineup, he'll clean up. Mookie Betts batting
Speaker 4: second is now Shoeyotany's moved to the bullpen to throw
Speaker 4: his bullpen session.
Speaker 8: Which was scheduled for this series.
Speaker 4: And you know, the last thing on Mookie Bets before
Speaker 4: we go, three home runs history. Three of his first
Speaker 4: six hits have left the yard, moll. All three have
Speaker 4: been go ahead bombs, and last night probably the most
Speaker 4: meaningful for him.
Speaker 8: Because help atone for that second inning er.
Speaker 6: Isn't it crazy we're talking about the power and three
Speaker 6: home runs because what was it a week ago, eight
Speaker 6: days ago? We were talking about a guy that lost
Speaker 6: almost twenty pounds right under the weather, didn't play, couldn't
Speaker 6: work out, and all those things. He comes back, comes
Speaker 6: back with vengeance. He's driven, and he said, quite frankly,
Speaker 6: I don't want to just play shortstop. I want to
Speaker 6: win on a team while I'm playing shortstop. And he
Speaker 6: is certainly contributing right now.
Speaker 8: He is helping Tim as we get it back to you.
Speaker 4: One thing that we're watching for with Mookie Bets in
Speaker 4: the field is making the routine plays look routine, not
Speaker 4: making every play seem or look like a highlight reel play.
Speaker 4: Gotta nailed down the fundamentals at short He has been
Speaker 4: working on that throughout the day.
Speaker 8: Hopefully he puts it on display in the game as well.
Speaker 2: All Right, thank you, Nelly, as we got you down
Speaker 2: to the first bitch. Dodger fans get that game day meal.

Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kas' the world Champion. Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 1: Network is Lorongo Casino Dodgers on Dodgers on Deck. Y'all

Speaker 2: It's a Dodgers and Braves as they wrap up this
Speaker 2: three game series. Dodgers undefeated at seven to zero. It's
Speaker 2: show Hey Otani, Bobblehead Night, Blake Snell, Bryce Elder.
Speaker 3: The pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at five thirty eight.
Speaker 3: This is the Otani free wide the O two pitch.
Speaker 4: Otani pulls it in a right field for a base hit,
Speaker 4: lead off knock for Old Tani.
Speaker 8: He will not go hitless tonight.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers have their first hit since te Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 4: let off the second with.
Speaker 2: The singer Show Hey Otani goes one for four last night.
Speaker 2: He would score on the home run for Mookie Betts
Speaker 2: right after that as the Dodgers come back and win
Speaker 2: three to one.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey Kirson now joins us from the standing and brought
Speaker 2: to by Cars for Kids.
Speaker 3: Ready to donate your old car?
Speaker 2: Call eight seven seven Cars for Kids right now, Friendly
Speaker 2: ages standing boy to take your donation.
Speaker 3: That's Cars with a K. Donate your car today.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Kirsten was at the ballpark six
Speaker 2: hours early, standing in line trying to get one of
Speaker 2: those show Heyotani Bobbleheads.
Speaker 3: Not sure, I'm sure you got one, Kirston.
Speaker 9: Listen, there are so many people here already. I will
Speaker 9: say this year you didn't have cars lined up like
Speaker 9: we had kind of in year's past, but people were
Speaker 9: on foot all the way down the hill essentially like
Speaker 9: to where I think it's the fire department station down
Speaker 9: the hill. All the way down there it was. I mean, yes,
Speaker 9: it's the first show, hey Bibblehead of the year. I
Speaker 9: actually don't know how many there are gonna be this year.
Speaker 9: I feel like there's gonna be a lot. But the
Speaker 9: fact that so many people showed up. It's a Wednesday, Yes,
Speaker 9: it's what a five thirty eight start, but so many
Speaker 9: fans are here and they're so excited. Like I actually
Speaker 9: did see the bobblehead. Looks really good, So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 9: He's got the MVP Award and everything.
Speaker 2: First of four Otani Bobbleheads for DODA Race this season.
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman not the lineup again, Kirsten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not in the lineup.
Speaker 9: And you know what, today it really was kind of
Speaker 9: like a fifty to fifty decision, but it just made
Speaker 9: more sense for them to give him that extra day. Yesterday,
Speaker 9: when Freddie spoke to the media, he did say that
Speaker 9: this could be a very realistic thing, just that he
Speaker 9: wouldn't be in the lineup today primarily because they're about
Speaker 9: to take a cross country flight to go play in
Speaker 9: Philadelphia and then in DC it is pretty cold and
Speaker 9: it's going to be cold and rainy in Philadelphia, so
Speaker 9: it just with that. And he talked about this a
Speaker 9: lot actually last year in the postseason, kind of having
Speaker 9: to pay more attention to his ankle and putting getting
Speaker 9: treatment in a really good spot just because with colder
Speaker 9: weather things tighten up sometimes, so it really is just
Speaker 9: trying to stay ahead of it. If he can be
Speaker 9: down this series obviously, I mean, Kik has stepped in
Speaker 9: very well at first base, playing defensively really well and
Speaker 9: getting the bat going, so the team is in a
Speaker 9: good spot and allows for Freddy to take the time
Speaker 9: to allow his body to heal so that he can
Speaker 9: really keep going for the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: The new guys this year Kirby Yates, Tanner, Scott Michael
Speaker 2: gonforo guys hungry to win a championship. I imagine Kirsten
Speaker 2: as seven and zero start is kind of what they
Speaker 2: were hoping for joining this team.
Speaker 9: Listen, I think this is absolutely best case scenario for
Speaker 9: those guys, and they've been very clear they came here
Speaker 9: they want to win, and hey, starting seven or not
Speaker 9: not too But also not only is the team seven
Speaker 9: and zero, they've been pitching really well. I was talking
Speaker 9: to Kirby Ates today and he was saying that for
Speaker 9: him to go to a new organization, you always want
Speaker 9: to start off very well. It just kind of sets
Speaker 9: the tone. It feels good for you individually. He said
Speaker 9: that in the past when he was with Atlanta, he
Speaker 9: didn't start off super well with that team, but when
Speaker 9: he was in a good spot, it just kind of
Speaker 9: it want it takes the pressure off. You know, you
Speaker 9: want to impress your new job, a new manager, whatever.
Speaker 9: But like so that for him has felt really good.
Speaker 9: And then being a part of a bullpen in which
Speaker 9: there's so much just team chemistry. They're clicking on all cylinders,
Speaker 9: everyone's pitching really well. So hey, they're enjoying the ride.
Speaker 9: And I did ask, I go, does it make your
Speaker 9: life a little bit easier when you get this much
Speaker 9: run support? Is it just easier on the mountain. He's like, well,
Speaker 9: our job is never easy, but it is much nicer
Speaker 9: when we get the kind of run support that they
Speaker 9: get with the Dodgers. So everyone's feeling really good right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, feeling good at seven and oh maybe eight to
Speaker 2: o after the night curres, So we'll find out. We'll
Speaker 2: check you with you for the game still to come.
Speaker 2: Here on Dodgers on Deck, will dive deeper into this
Speaker 2: pitching matchup. David Vess goes one on one with Dustin May.
Speaker 3: What a night he had last night.
Speaker 2: But up next your injury reporting a we'll hear from
Speaker 2: manager Dave Roberts leading up to Dodgers and Braves Show. Hey,
Speaker 2: O'tani Bobblehead night, first pitch at five thirty eight. I'm
Speaker 2: sim kas is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunt game on your
Speaker 1: home for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Braves on this Wednesday getaway day,
Speaker 2: final game of his home stand show. He Otani Bobblehead nine,
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at five thirty eight.
Speaker 1: This it's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 2: Report presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Still know Freddie Freeman in the lineup, still
Speaker 2: bothered by that ankle that he tweaked in the shower
Speaker 2: on Sunday morning. Dodgers with eleven pitchers on the IL
Speaker 2: to start the season, including Tony Gonsolin, Bruce Dark Graderol
Speaker 2: Michael Grove, Kyle Hurt who went on the sixty day
Speaker 2: I I L earlier today, Clayton Kershaw, Michael Copek, Evan Phillips,
Speaker 2: and Emit she and the injury report presented by UCLA
Speaker 2: Health official medical partner of your Los Angeles Dodgers. All right,
Speaker 2: let's head back out to the ravine and here from
Speaker 2: the Dodgers skipper anything.
Speaker 7: 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 10: We know we we knew going in we were talented.
Speaker 10: You never know how the season is going to play
Speaker 10: out until you start playing games. I actually like it
Speaker 10: in the sense that no one is too high right now.
Speaker 10: I think that you know, the pitching has been very good,
Speaker 10: the defense has been solid, but up and down our lineup,
Speaker 10: there's only a couple of guys that, you know, really
Speaker 10: swinging the bats the way they're capable of, and outside
Speaker 10: of that, guys are sort of just kind of trying
Speaker 10: to find their way and we're getting big hits. So
Speaker 10: I think that to be fair, I think that guys
Speaker 10: are really trying to think about how they can get
Speaker 10: better right now, which is a pretty scary thought for
Speaker 10: the rest of the.
Speaker 11: League other than winning game, which is why you're here
Speaker 11: every night.
Speaker 12: This start as an offending champ.
Speaker 11: Does it mean.
Speaker 1: Anything to you?
Speaker 10: It does? It, absolutely does it.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 10: Case in point is we can sit Freddy because these
Speaker 10: games we're playing good baseball, winning baseball games, and it
Speaker 10: allows for us to manage guys in the pen for
Speaker 10: down the road. And obviously getting off to a good
Speaker 10: start is important in the sense of it just gives
Speaker 10: your team a little bit of momentum, you know, to
Speaker 10: start the season.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Dave Roberts certainly talking about the momentum
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have started this season off at seven and
Speaker 2: oh in a little reasoning in why you don't need
Speaker 2: to bring Freddie Freeman back so quickly after reaggravating that
Speaker 2: right ankle injury. On Sunday, Dodgers undefeated, playing really good baseball.
Speaker 2: Let him rest for this upcoming East Coast road trip.
Speaker 2: But we continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We'll check
Speaker 2: out with David Vase gets you the latest lead you
Speaker 2: up to first pitch on show, Hey Otani Bobblehead Night,
Speaker 2: Dodgers Braves. I'm Tim Kasey's the world champion Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Tach on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 2: This is Dodgers and Braves, Blake Snell, Bryce Elder, the
Speaker 2: Pitching Matchup showy Otani Bobblehead Night out at the Ravine.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up at five thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Tach.
Speaker 11: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, David heard a little from Dave Roberts, just
Speaker 2: a little bit ago. Freddie Freeman the ankle. I guess
Speaker 2: this is a good thing. It's not a serious reinjury.
Speaker 3: Right well.
Speaker 11: I saw Freddy Freeman earlier today and it was a
Speaker 11: great sign that he was going through agility drills and
Speaker 11: doing sprints on the outfield grass, and also got his
Speaker 11: first baseman's glove and went over to his position and
Speaker 11: fielded his position. So he's still in great spirits. The
Speaker 11: Dodgers are just being extra cautious with him. No need
Speaker 11: to rush it, considering the Dodgers are seven to zero
Speaker 11: coming into tonight's game, and they have won three of
Speaker 11: those games without Mookie Betts.
Speaker 7: In the lineup.
Speaker 11: They have won three of those games without Freddie Freeman
Speaker 11: in the lineup, so they had the luxury of having
Speaker 11: a really good team, and they could hold off on
Speaker 11: having Freddy be back in the starting lineup until Friday
Speaker 11: when they're in Philadelphia.
Speaker 7: So yeah, Freddie, Freddy's okay. The Dodgers are just being cautious.
Speaker 3: David A German by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing he like, his choice is fine
Speaker 2: yours with the four F one to fifty gas hybrid,
Speaker 2: all electric, tough. This market oli you call called F
Speaker 2: one P fifty. The torpedo bats are all the talk
Speaker 2: of baseball, David. Are they any Dodger players maybe gonna
Speaker 2: use this?
Speaker 11: Hey? One Dodger got his new toy today and he
Speaker 11: was using it immediately during batting practice, and that was
Speaker 11: Dodger third baseman Max Munci, who's actually not off to
Speaker 11: the hottest of starts on this team, so you can
Speaker 11: understand why he may be turning towards a torpedo bat.
Speaker 7: He had told me yesterday.
Speaker 11: That he was expecting it to arrive today and he
Speaker 11: was going to use it in batting practice. He actually
Speaker 11: is going to use it in the game tonight as well.
Speaker 11: He had a good batting practice. He liked the way
Speaker 11: it felt, and we'll see how it goes in the game.
Speaker 11: One player that won't ever be using a torpedo bat is.
Speaker 7: The aforementioned Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 11: I had a chance to ask Freddy what his thoughts
Speaker 11: were about players turning to this torpedo bat.
Speaker 7: If you look down on players that use it.
Speaker 13: I do not look down on anybody. If it's legal,
Speaker 13: you can do whatever you want. I've swung the same
Speaker 13: bat for sixteen years. I will not be changing to
Speaker 13: a torpedo bat. It's just me swung the same length,
Speaker 13: ounces everything. So if it works for the guys, then
Speaker 13: go for it. But I know if some of our
Speaker 13: guys are getting some, so we'll see. I will not
Speaker 13: be swinging with.
Speaker 3: Just the concept though, just kind of.
Speaker 13: I don't know any about it, I promise you I
Speaker 13: have not. I have not read a thing about it.
Speaker 13: I only know there's a torpedo bat and it looks
Speaker 13: kind of like the barrel's shorter or like lower down.
Speaker 13: That's all I got, nor will I ever read into it.
Speaker 13: So that's just me. Yeah, I'm not the right guy
Speaker 13: to ask those kind of questions for I just swing
Speaker 13: the same bat every day.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So Freddy, Aaron Judge among the other really good hitters
Speaker 11: in baseball, and show Heyo Tani, I don't see them
Speaker 11: using a torpedo bat. But I found out in an
Speaker 11: interview with a Sahi TV just moments ago, Tim, that
Speaker 11: show Hao Tani has increased the length of his bat
Speaker 11: by a half an inch to get more play coverage.
Speaker 3: Interesting, all right.
Speaker 2: Davi's time now for the Dodger Derby, brought to by

Speaker 1: Joined by David Basse saying, here's la Dodgers broadcast Dark
Speaker 1: and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: Well, an exciting day at Dodgers Stadium to close out
Speaker 11: the homestand not only Rick Monday. Is it Otani Bobblehead Night,
Speaker 11: But you know what it is? It snails Zilla Day.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's why you're a little extra nervous, because
Speaker 6: you know, you're you're Valley guys. Okay, you kind of
Speaker 6: stick together, you hang out together. And yeah, both Stephen
Speaker 6: Nelson and I were talking about the fact that you
Speaker 6: are extremely nervous in this contest as we get ready
Speaker 6: to go tonight.
Speaker 7: Nervous, not at all.
Speaker 11: Rick. I'm very confident that Blake Snell is going to
Speaker 11: extend the Dodgers great start to eight and o tonight,
Speaker 11: he's doing his job.
Speaker 6: I hate to break this news to you, but that
Speaker 6: crowd that started to amass just outside Dodgers Saidium at
Speaker 6: nine thirty this morning, Yeah, they were not waiting for
Speaker 6: you to arrive. Yeah, but they were here for the
Speaker 6: Otani bibblehead. By the way, I was noticing you were
Speaker 6: talking on the field with Dinu Evil, the third base
Speaker 6: coach for this Dodger ball club, and named many things
Speaker 6: you're talking about.
Speaker 8: We talked about it before.
Speaker 6: His two boys are going to Crona High School, which
Speaker 6: is having a pretty good season. They had a very
Speaker 6: good season last year. One to ceif they number one
Speaker 6: team in the state of California, the number one team
Speaker 6: in the nation. And all they're doing at Corona High
Speaker 6: School this year thirteen and oh how about this, thirteen wins,
Speaker 6: Eleven of those are shutouts. They have allowed in the
Speaker 6: thirteen games only four runs to be scored against them.
Speaker 6: So for Andy Wise, the head coach at Corona High School,
Speaker 6: and all the players are there, and yes they're both
Speaker 6: sons of the Dino Ebler playing there, that's really kind
Speaker 6: of a it's neat to see the game evolve and
Speaker 6: the youngsters coming on and what they've done is just amazing.
Speaker 11: And around the high school baseball circuits in La Rick
Speaker 11: they're calling the Corona Panthers the La Dodgers of high
Speaker 11: school baseball. That's how stacked they are, apparently, and for.
Speaker 6: A pretty good reason, because the dog is coming to
Speaker 6: this ball game, as you well know, the first team
Speaker 6: defending a World championship. They're trying to look and be
Speaker 6: the first team to have eight consecutive victories to open
Speaker 6: up the season the currently time of the nineteen thirty
Speaker 6: three Yankees who went seven and O. And they understand,
Speaker 6: how about this for strange? The Podres are maybe getting overlooked,
Speaker 6: maybe up until today. Well, the Pngres won again. Do
Speaker 6: you know what's strange? If the Dodgers lose their first
Speaker 6: game of the season, they would drop a half game
Speaker 6: into second place in nationally Western Division. Dodgers and pres
Speaker 6: are really coming out of the gate fast.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's kind of amazing.
Speaker 11: The Dodgers, of course, have eclipsed the Padres as far
Speaker 11: as national attention goes, but it was the Padres that
Speaker 11: could have gone on to win the World Series if
Speaker 11: not for losing a two games to one lead in
Speaker 11: the NLDS to the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: Yeah if if, but boy, it means a lot, doesn't it.
Speaker 11: It sure does, and the Dodgers went on to win
Speaker 11: the World Series. We should see a collision course again
Speaker 11: between the Dodgers and Padres. The one thing I wanted
Speaker 11: to ask you, Rick, Obviously the Dodgers are a formidable opponent.
Speaker 11: Are there any vulnerabilities on this roster, on this team?
Speaker 6: I think there's always something that could be unable, vulnerable too.
Speaker 6: I mean, let's look at it squarely and honestly. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers are going to have slumps. They are going to
Speaker 6: have injuries. Every team's going to have that. Atlanta's starting
Speaker 6: off in a slump right now. They're going to catch fire.
Speaker 6: And Steve and I were talking the last couple of nights,
Speaker 6: is that when they get the offense going, they're going
Speaker 6: to put some runs on the board. I can't say
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have a weakness other than just the frailty
Speaker 6: of injuries. For example, Freddy Freeman is not in the
Speaker 6: lineup again today. He took on the field, he took
Speaker 6: round balls, worked on at first base, but evidently they've
Speaker 6: made the decision. Look, there's an off day tomorrow, off day.
Speaker 6: It's traveling across country to Philadelphia. Nonetheless, but at least
Speaker 6: at the get Go Freeman is not in the game.
Speaker 6: It could be available. We don't know the level of
Speaker 6: availability in this game.
Speaker 7: All right, Rick, Well, we'll see how it goes tonight
Speaker 7: on Zilla Day.
Speaker 6: You're a little nervous, are you?
Speaker 7: No, I got butterflies?
Speaker 6: Uh oh yeah, yeah, those are butterflies. Those are killer mobs.
Speaker 11: All right, Rick, we'll check back in with you and
Speaker 11: Steven Nelson a little bit later.
Speaker 7: For now, we'll send it to Tim Kates.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 3: Thanks lots, Dodger fans.

Speaker 2: available to help you with tuition, books, and sometimes even

Speaker 11: May made his return to a major league mount for
Speaker 11: the first time in nearly two years, and Dustin joins
Speaker 11: us right now at Dodger Stadium Number one. Thanks a
Speaker 11: lot for the time, and congratulations on returning and coming
Speaker 11: back from so much adversity.
Speaker 14: Yeah, thanks, thanks for having me. It was definitely a
Speaker 14: huge relief last night, just to be able to know
Speaker 14: that I can still get some big league hitters out
Speaker 14: and and come out of it feeling good. So I'm
Speaker 14: in a good spot today, so excited for the next one.
Speaker 11: You were skipping off the mound after you struck out
Speaker 11: the Braves in the first inning in order, and then
Speaker 11: you came here to the dugout. It seemed like you
Speaker 11: were giving thanks. What were you saying to yourself?
Speaker 14: Oh, I mean I just said a quick little prayer
Speaker 14: and thank the Lord for everything that he has given
Speaker 14: me in the last couple of years, thanking him to
Speaker 14: still be here and get the opportunity that I had.
Speaker 11: I saw the family and friends that you had in Anaheim.
Speaker 11: How many did you have last night and what did
Speaker 11: it mean to you to have that support?
Speaker 14: It was the same amount. I think it was like
Speaker 14: six itch. I mean it's huge. I mean family support
Speaker 14: is a is a very big thing. My dad and
Speaker 14: Grandma weren't able to make it out, but I know
Speaker 14: they were there with me in spirit, so it was
Speaker 14: it was very very special. I got talked to both
Speaker 14: of them after the game and they were they were.
Speaker 7: Very, very excited.
Speaker 11: How did you channel all those emotions the last two
Speaker 11: year and be able to pitch as well as you did?
Speaker 14: I mean, it's been a long build up and a
Speaker 14: lot of mental grind just being able to tell myself
Speaker 14: that I'm still able to do it and still able
Speaker 14: to get guys out, and I mean just staying very
Speaker 14: calm and level headed and being able to just move
Speaker 14: on to the next pitch no matter what the outcome wants.
Speaker 11: You guys are obviously the best at what you do.
Speaker 11: But did you have to remind yourself to have fun
Speaker 11: out there last night?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 8: No, I mean I was.
Speaker 14: I was having fun just on my drive in yesterday.
Speaker 14: I mean it was like a kid in a candy store.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 8: I was so so.
Speaker 14: Happy and excited to just be back in a big
Speaker 14: league stadium, active and being able to contribute to a
Speaker 14: team win.
Speaker 11: Just to me as our guest. All right, since you
Speaker 11: said you have a new life perspective, and rightfully so,
Speaker 11: what would the drive have been two years ago compared
Speaker 11: to what it was last night?
Speaker 14: I mean the drive would have been like probably similar,
Speaker 14: like loud music, just getting in the moat, like the
Speaker 14: swing of things, but just like less anxiousness, like less
Speaker 14: like worry about like the outcome like more so now
Speaker 14: it's just like I'm doing what I can, like no
Speaker 14: matter what the outcome is, as long as I'm healthy
Speaker 14: coming out of it, We're gonna be happy. Like it's
Speaker 14: I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 11: That's so awesome. It's so great that you know you
Speaker 11: have that life perspective. A lot of guys say when
Speaker 11: they get married or have kids, that's what changes their
Speaker 11: whole outlook on baseball. But yours was a little bit
Speaker 11: more extreme than that.
Speaker 14: A little bit of a different path there, but everybody
Speaker 14: kind of gets in the same spot one day or another.
Speaker 11: I thought it was hilarious after the game last night.
Speaker 11: The first thing you said was they played the wrong
Speaker 11: warm up music.
Speaker 14: They did, They sure did. And then I've been waiting
Speaker 14: almost two years for it because I've been excited for
Speaker 14: the song change, and they dang screwed it up. They
Speaker 14: screwed it up, but we'll have to We'll have to
Speaker 14: get it right on the next one, I hope.
Speaker 11: Can you give us a sneak peek on what it
Speaker 11: was supposed to be.
Speaker 14: Whenever it comes out, we'll have to hear it.
Speaker 7: But right sounds good.
Speaker 11: Hey, before I let you go tonight, Blake Snell's on
Speaker 11: the mount. Have you had a chance to interact with
Speaker 11: him during spring training and what have you noticed about
Speaker 11: who he is as a teammate.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we talked a little bit.
Speaker 14: We talked on the bench for probably two or three
Speaker 14: innings the other night. I mean, I like picking his brain.
Speaker 14: I mean, he's been here for a while. He's easy
Speaker 14: to talk to. Definitely a guy who is very approachable
Speaker 14: and we'll talk to you about anything.
Speaker 11: You feel like the perception of who he was is
Speaker 11: not really now getting to know him what he's really about.
Speaker 14: No, I thought the vision that I had of him
Speaker 14: is pretty spot on.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 11: I feel like people don't realize how smart he is
Speaker 11: and as far as the IQ of the game.
Speaker 14: Yeah, No, he's very bright in baseball for sure.
Speaker 11: All right. They call it May Day, Today's snell Zilla Day.
Speaker 11: Dustin May it.
Speaker 3: Is, it is.
Speaker 14: I'm I'm ready and excited to watch him.

Speaker 11: really special and keep it going.

Speaker 2: Kas's World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying yes is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: Jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Braves. Blake Snell, Brice Elder of
Speaker 2: the pitching matchup. When the boys in Blue playing at home,
Speaker 2: it's important they have the right plan to protect their house.
Speaker 3: So far, so good.
Speaker 2: They protected the stadium undefeated so far at the Ravine.
Speaker 2: The same applies to your home. Always have a plan
Speaker 2: and follow fire safety tips. For example, before setting up
Speaker 2: a campfire, make sure to get a permit from CalFire
Speaker 2: and check local restrictions. Know how to properly set up
Speaker 2: a campfire and extinguish it using the drown, stir and
Speaker 2: field method. Always have a water supply and shovel nearby
Speaker 2: to extinguish your campfire. For more about these tips and
Speaker 2: to find out other ways, visit fire dot CA dot gov.
Speaker 2: All right, let's tap back out to the booth Steven Nelson,
Speaker 2: Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, All right, TC back here with Rick Monday one
Speaker 4: final time before first pitch MO. We talked about the
Speaker 4: potentially historic start to the Dodgers if they were to
Speaker 4: take care of business today and moved a no. And
Speaker 4: of course you also want to keep pace with the
Speaker 4: San Diego Patres This is only the third time since
Speaker 4: divisional play began in nineteen sixty nine that we've seen
Speaker 4: multiple teams in the same division start a season with
Speaker 4: at least six wins. This NLS looks like the gauntlet
Speaker 4: we expected it to be.
Speaker 6: You know, we read about this and heard about it
Speaker 6: in spring trying to go over in Arizona. The Padres
Speaker 6: are very determined to make some noise, and that's exactly
Speaker 6: what they're doing down south meanwhile, making some noise. Blake Snell,
Speaker 6: the former Say Young Award winner, getting the start of
Speaker 6: his two hundred and thirteenth of his stellar career and
Speaker 6: the number two for the Stodger booklet. I mean, I
Speaker 6: expect really Snell to kind of linking things out as
Speaker 6: far as the number of innings into night's ball game,
Speaker 6: question is what about the control earlier on does he
Speaker 6: give some free passes? He walked for had only two
Speaker 6: strikeouts in the first time out. But one thing about it,
Speaker 6: he handles left handed batters exactly well. Not to say
Speaker 6: right handers hit it well last year just one eighty
Speaker 6: seven for right handers, but he puts a whole different
Speaker 6: dimension when he's pitching.
Speaker 4: What we saw against Snell in that home opener. I
Speaker 4: mean he he had nine base runners against them, MO,
Speaker 4: but he didn't break his ben don't break right. I
Speaker 4: mean all five hits formable against the fastball, one against
Speaker 4: the slider. So when it came to the curve ball
Speaker 4: and to change up, that's the those who were the
Speaker 4: pitches that were working for him, and those are pitches
Speaker 4: that at lant up. Well, I guess they're not really
Speaker 4: seeing any pitches.
Speaker 6: Well no, but pecially right now thirty percent we're breaking
Speaker 6: balls if you look at Blake Snell. But one thing
Speaker 6: about it, he does not hit the panic button. He
Speaker 6: stays on track. He has a plan, and he trusts
Speaker 6: the plan for pretty good reason. It's got good stuff.
Speaker 4: He'll be starting opposite Bryce Elder, who was an All
Speaker 4: Star for Atlanta in twenty twenty three, was just brought
Speaker 4: up from Triple A Gwinette because the Braves lost Rainaldo
Speaker 4: Lopez to the injury list for at least the next
Speaker 4: couple of months. So the right handed Bryce Elder against
Speaker 4: the lefty Blake Snell. First pitch of this series finale
Speaker 4: coming up shortly to him back to you, all right.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Nelly. First pitch coming out. Don't forget after
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: I'll have all the postgame festivities, including Dodger Talk when
Speaker 2: this one is over. Dodgers looking to remain unbeaten on
Speaker 2: this season. Seven to zero? Can they make it eight
Speaker 2: to no? First pitch is next, Blake Snell on the
Speaker 2: mound and enjoy it. I'm Tim Kasey is the world champion.
