Speaker 2: while the Dodgers' offense helped for a comeback win. Walker Buehler,
Speaker 2: it's been a bumpy return this season, no doubt about it,
Speaker 2: coming back from Tommy John surgery. Last night, though, maybe

Speaker 2: have done.
Speaker 3: It's third time this season.
Speaker 2: They had a ninety two lead, and that's the breath
Speaker 2: of fresh air moment of the game presented by a
Speaker 2: Tar Mechanical.
Speaker 3: Looking for reliable heating.
Speaker 2: And air conditioning services in Southern Case California. Atar Mechanicals,
Speaker 2: your trusted partner, Omar and Brittany. Give them a call.
Speaker 2: The founders great people. Their service is more than just
Speaker 2: a solution, it's a breadth of fresh air. From the

Speaker 2: tar mechanical delivers friendly on a service at a fair price.
Speaker 2: Dodgers with a seven run top half of the ninth
Speaker 2: inne they complete the comeback win nine to the final.
Speaker 2: They're now eighty eight and sixty one on the season.
Speaker 2: Tonight in the final game of this four game series
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, Dodgers looking to salvage it with this split.
Speaker 2: Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound. First bitch from Atlanta is
Speaker 2: coming up at four twenty and with more. Let's head
Speaker 2: out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say
Speaker 2: hello to Rick Monday and Tim Neffer.
Speaker 4: Guys, Sam, It's a beautiful evening for baseball in Atlanta
Speaker 4: and the Dodgers and Braves gets set to wrap up
Speaker 4: this four game wrap round series on this Monday night
Speaker 4: at Truest Park. The Dodgers begin the night eighty eight
Speaker 4: and sixty one, three and a half ahead of San Diego,
Speaker 4: five on top of Arizona and the Braves eighty one
Speaker 4: and sixty eight. They're nine back of the Philadelphia Phillies,
Speaker 4: tied with the Mets for second in the division. Tied
Speaker 4: with the Mets for the third place position in the
Speaker 4: National League Wildcard picture. As far as the Dodgers postseason
Speaker 4: birth goes, they could clinch as early as tomorrow. With
Speaker 4: wins today at Atlanta and tomorrow at Miami and a
Speaker 4: loss by the Braves tomorrow at Cincinnati and losses by
Speaker 4: the Mets today and tomorrow against Washington.
Speaker 6: That just clinches a postseason berth.
Speaker 4: But the magic number to win the division is ten
Speaker 4: to start action tonight. In fact, it was a year
Speaker 4: ago tonight that the Dodgers did clinch the division in
Speaker 4: a six to two extra innings win over the Mariners
Speaker 4: in Seattle. So all the Padres continue to chase the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: They'd need to go nine and three to tie the
Speaker 4: Dodgers if the Dodgers played a game under five hundred
Speaker 4: the rest of the way and win six and seven
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks. If the Dodgers went six and seven, would
Speaker 4: have to go a perfect thirteen and to pass the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: So time winding down Game number one fifty tonight, with
Speaker 4: twelve to play in it's Yoshinobo Yamamoto on the hill
Speaker 4: for the second time since coming off the injured list.
Speaker 4: He will oppose Harvard Westlakes Max Freed. Freed is nine
Speaker 4: and nine, Yamamoto is six and two. But before we
Speaker 4: get to tonight, Maul brief look back at the ninth
Speaker 4: inning last night, with two outs, seven runs in the
Speaker 4: ninth inning to break it two two times.
Speaker 7: You know, last night's win does not guarantee that there's
Speaker 7: going to be a victory tonight. However, you really have
Speaker 7: to draw some positives from last night's victory, come from
Speaker 7: behind victory to begin with. Also with Walker Bueller, and
Speaker 7: for Bueller had not really made a statement up until
Speaker 7: last night about hey, look include me in the postseason roster,
Speaker 7: in the starting rotation. Well, for Walker Bueller, six innings,
Speaker 7: just two runs on three hits, he struck out five. Yes,
Speaker 7: he did walk five also, But for Walker Bueller, after
Speaker 7: he wiggled through that third inning, he was absolutely terrific. Oh,
Speaker 7: he retired the first three batter in the opening frame,
Speaker 7: no question about that. But we saw the Walker rueler
Speaker 7: in the fourth to fifth and again in the sixth
Speaker 7: inning that we've not seen for a while. He's seen
Speaker 7: in command, he's seen very confident, and he got results.
Speaker 7: The other part, too, is when the offense finally woke
Speaker 7: up that being in that ninth inning, we saw some
Speaker 7: life out of his wall club, as if they were hungry,
Speaker 7: because if we looked previously the last ten games, it's
Speaker 7: been kind of off and on a little bit iffy,
Speaker 7: nothing iffy in the late stages last night, sho hey.
Speaker 4: O'tani was OH for the first couple of games, and
Speaker 4: OH for his first two at bats last night, but
Speaker 4: he came alive late a pair of RBI doubles in
Speaker 4: the fifth, in the seventh, and then was intentionally walked
Speaker 4: right in front of Mookie Betts again, and Bets came
Speaker 4: through it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's like pressing a red button for Mookie Betts. Okay,
Speaker 7: you want to walk the guy in front of me? Okay, fine.
Speaker 7: Paul Benz did is that he got a won one
Speaker 7: pitch to his liking, had an RBI single, then an
Speaker 7: RBI single by Freddy Freeman to follow Betts, and then
Speaker 7: that's when the home run barrage with Hernandez, di Oscar
Speaker 7: Edmund and Munsey. And by the way, where on earth
Speaker 7: did Tommy Edmund all of a sudden find the muscles
Speaker 7: that hit the ball out of the ballpark. That's five
Speaker 7: home runs now, for Edmunds in the last nineteen at bats.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has had five homers in the last five
Speaker 4: games if you look at it that way. But he
Speaker 4: has been really, really dynamic for the Dodgers, both in
Speaker 4: center field and at short stop. He'll be in center
Speaker 4: field tonight. So tonight the Dodgers hoped to even up
Speaker 4: this four games sent as they send Yoshinova Yamamoto to
Speaker 4: the mad Just an injury update from Austin Barnes.
Speaker 6: He left the game.
Speaker 4: It was shortly after the catcher's interference that was called
Speaker 4: on him and thought maybe initially it was on his hand,
Speaker 4: but no, he did foul the ball off of his
Speaker 4: foot and it was determined after X rays he has
Speaker 4: another fracture in a different part of his left big toe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that took everybody by surprise. And what the
Speaker 7: move is going to be? Wooll, We're all gonna wait
Speaker 7: and find out. Will Smith is back in in doing
Speaker 7: the catching in tonight's ball game. So Kicky Hernanez will
Speaker 7: be at second base tonight with a left hander Max
Speaker 7: Breed on the mound. Pretty much the same lineup, although
Speaker 7: Munsey has now been dropped to the number eight spot.
Speaker 7: With that left hander on the mound, and again we
Speaker 7: see Dave Roberts kind of breaking up Otani Betts. Freeman
Speaker 7: is the normal, but we see now for two games
Speaker 7: with left handed pitchers on the mound, Freeman dropped to
Speaker 7: the four spot, so you have Otani then two right
Speaker 7: handed batters before you get another lefty Freeman. You had
Speaker 7: a beautiful evening here. We missed the rain that was
Speaker 7: supposed to be here for four days. Bright Blueskuys right

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey Kirson now joins us from an Atlanta final game
Speaker 2: of this four game wrap around series, and it's off
Speaker 2: to Miami for a three game set against the Marlans
Speaker 2: Dodgers tonight, sending out Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound. Kirsen
Speaker 2: in start number two for him since coming back from
Speaker 2: that shoulder injury.
Speaker 8: Exactly started number two and also a continuation of just
Speaker 8: him building up. We know that when he first came
Speaker 8: off the aisle he had only thrown around fifty ish pitches,
Speaker 8: I think a fifty three exacts and only him down
Speaker 8: through two innings, and so for his last one he
Speaker 8: was really effected. He was able to give your four
Speaker 8: innings and I think as much as it was an
Speaker 8: incredible outing, and I think we expect that from him
Speaker 8: and did come as a little bit of a surprise
Speaker 8: just considering how long he was on the il. So
Speaker 8: for this next one, you know, Dave was saying, in
Speaker 8: that seventy five pitch count range, that feels pretty realistic.
Speaker 8: So obviously keep an eye on just the stress of
Speaker 8: the innings, but it seems like this mechanically things are
Speaker 8: in a really good spot for you, you know who.
Speaker 8: Health Wise, of course, she's in a really good spot.
Speaker 8: We even saw a flight uptake in velocity in his
Speaker 8: last outing with that fastball. The command was excellent, but
Speaker 8: just that little flight uptake was similar to what we
Speaker 8: saw against the Yankees back in June, in which everyone
Speaker 8: was kind of like, oh, what was happening here, and
Speaker 8: they thought that maybe that was you know, maybe it
Speaker 8: was the excitement, the matchup.
Speaker 1: The moment.
Speaker 8: But if he can keep that going, which we did
Speaker 8: see in the last outing, we'll see that kind of
Speaker 8: maintains today. But Dave does expect anow they're just efficient
Speaker 8: that really strong outing from him.
Speaker 2: Dodgers going back to the lineup they had two days
Speaker 2: ago when they faced a left hander, the Dodgers switching
Speaker 2: things up with ta Oscar and Freddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So what Dave Roberts really likes about this is as
Speaker 8: you get deeper into the game, so these are top
Speaker 8: arms I to do with Max Freid and similar what
Speaker 8: we saw the other day with Chris Sale, it's these
Speaker 8: are top They're going to go deep into the game
Speaker 8: as they can. And so with that, Dave Roberts feels
Speaker 8: like it's more of an attack to the attacks on
Speaker 8: the picture as they get late to the game. It
Speaker 8: also forces a tough decision from the manager because with
Speaker 8: breaking up that lefties usually, of course you want to
Speaker 8: stick with the LUFTI to attack those guys, but it
Speaker 8: makes you decide, okay, well you've got yes, show hey
Speaker 8: and then move in and then you've got this lefty
Speaker 8: killer in chaos here and then you've got obviously an
Speaker 8: extremely tough lefty bat with Freddy Freeman, So more of
Speaker 8: a little game planning, especially as you get to the
Speaker 8: end of the game. Towards the end of the game
Speaker 8: the day, we're saying that we could be seeing this
Speaker 8: come October, and there's not too many luffies that they'll
Speaker 8: be facing just in between today and the end of
Speaker 8: the regular season, but come Octobers some tough lufties. This
Speaker 8: could be a realistic thing that we see pretty often.
Speaker 2: Kison, what's the vibe you get around this team in
Speaker 2: this series finale, They're going to leave Atlanta go to Miami.
Speaker 2: But here we are two weeks less than the season,
Speaker 2: and this is a Dodgers team clinging to an NL
Speaker 2: West Divisional lead and realistically trying to to keep the
Speaker 2: number two spaw in the nationally.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what, I think how last night's game
Speaker 8: ended was really telling and really powerful for this group
Speaker 8: because they're looking to really carry that momentum, like even
Speaker 8: coming in today, it's a different feel the first two
Speaker 8: games of this series, not that I want to say that,
Speaker 8: you know, the guys, no guys go down and out.
Speaker 8: They're frustrated, and so for them to turn the page
Speaker 8: and to kind of end on a high note yesterday,
Speaker 8: to end with a blowout of an inning three executive
Speaker 8: home run. Things like that, like that gets everyone going
Speaker 8: to see how Michael Kopek got out of a two
Speaker 8: learners on at second and third, no out, That was
Speaker 8: a you could feel the shift in everything then, and
Speaker 8: so there is a lighter feeling in the air. I
Speaker 8: would stay here, and so the hope that they can
Speaker 8: split this series, seaking up the win today and then
Speaker 8: going to Miami find and hopefully kind of sweep them
Speaker 8: and get things really going to end this road trip
Speaker 8: on a high note as well, because you do feel
Speaker 8: your sort you can feal the pressure. Yeah, the division
Speaker 8: looks like and also we have these teams, whether it's
Speaker 8: the Cups or the Braves, who are truly or choosing
Speaker 8: the Mets, who are truly fighting to make their way
Speaker 8: into the postseason. And you can truly feel that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, Doug Kirsten, we appreciate it. We'll check in
Speaker 3: with you after the game.

Speaker 2: we'll hear from the manager himself. Dave Roberts Dodgers Braves
Speaker 2: first pitch at four twenty. I'm Tim Katsi's Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Huntings on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marogo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Monday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Marogo Casino Resort and Spa a grand slam for good
Speaker 2: times leading up to Dodgers and Braves from the Atlanta
Speaker 2: First pitch set for four twenty.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Austin Barnes officially has gone on the IL
Speaker 2: and most likely not available the rest of the regular season.
Speaker 2: He's got a fractured toe. He got hit by a
Speaker 2: foul pitch last night. Hunter Frodusia called up from TRIPAA
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. So Will Smith's gonna do a lot of
Speaker 2: the catching here. Moving forward in the final two weeks
Speaker 2: into October, Tyler Glass now on the IL at the
Speaker 2: right elbow tendonitis. Clayton Kershaw on the IL with his
Speaker 2: swelling in his left big toe the turf toe is
Speaker 2: it's otherwise known as Joe Kelly on the IL at
Speaker 2: the right shoulder inflammation. However, he has joined the team
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, and the Dodgers expect to activate Joe sometime
Speaker 2: in Miami when the Dodgers head there for the next
Speaker 2: three games.
Speaker 3: Gavin Stone on.
Speaker 2: The IL with the elbow inflammation, Anthony Bonda on the
Speaker 2: IL with the hairline fracture in his left hand after
Speaker 2: he got frustration in his last outing last homestand and
Speaker 2: Anthony Bonda is back at Camelback Ranch working his way back, hopefully,
Speaker 2: hopefully he can join this Dodger's team. All right, let's
Speaker 2: head back out to Atlanta and check you with the
Speaker 2: Dodger skipper.
Speaker 3: The questions for Dave.
Speaker 1: Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: I think there's some of that, but I think most
Speaker 5: importantly he understands there's only a few more starts before,
Speaker 5: you know, we get to the postseason, so there's not
Speaker 5: a whole lot of time to kind of feel his
Speaker 5: way into outings, and every outing is important, and so
Speaker 5: he understands that, and so, like I said, I expect
Speaker 5: to go out there and piffs away.
Speaker 9: He's capable of dad his last start, did you feel
Speaker 9: like he wasn't trying to play up to the talent
Speaker 9: and he felt like he was on equal footing with
Speaker 9: with those hitters.
Speaker 10: Have you seen that in the last start? And did
Speaker 10: you see it before you got hurt?
Speaker 1: I saw that before he got hurt.
Speaker 5: I think that he's seen enough major League baseball and
Speaker 5: has performed enough to know that he's at the top
Speaker 5: of the food chain as far as talent. So he's
Speaker 5: a very confident player, and so that's what I saw.
Speaker 5: So I felt that I feel he's gonna do the
Speaker 5: same thing that. Again, he's very talented, very confident, and
Speaker 5: he's really understanding what gets hitters out here.
Speaker 4: I think you guys will try to get him on
Speaker 4: a four day turn at any point before the end.
Speaker 1: Of the race.
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No, do you think that'd being on the possibility in
Speaker 1: October at all?
Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but it's still unlikely.
Speaker 5: I think that what we've done, we're going to do
Speaker 5: everything we can to kind of give him as much
Speaker 5: rest that he's had.
Speaker 7: Based on these schedule in Japan. Or is it to
Speaker 7: protect the shoulder from.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's just no.
Speaker 5: I think it's schedule in Japan, schedule, what we've done here,
Speaker 5: all of it.
Speaker 10: And you you already kind of were talking about how
Speaker 10: the techie.
Speaker 3: Only handed he could best playoff rotation. How much is
Speaker 3: just not being able to start them one for days
Speaker 3: us a completely pet.
Speaker 5: I think it's, uh, you know, I just don't get
Speaker 5: caught up in stuff that it's really moved to even consider.
Speaker 5: You know, this is something that you know, when we
Speaker 5: acquired them, this is what we knew we planned on doing.
Speaker 5: So those are separate situations and it's kind of where
Speaker 5: we're at, and so we've got to figure out, you know,
Speaker 5: how best to keep him fresh, sharp, prepared. Number one
Speaker 5: and then number two, I guess basically fill in the
Speaker 5: pieces of shoot. I would love to have four guys
Speaker 5: that can go on short rest or regular rest, but
Speaker 5: it's just just not feasible.
Speaker 10: Do you think it would have been more of the
Speaker 10: consideration had he not missed the time that he did
Speaker 10: with the shoulder retreat?
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe if you would have if we would have
Speaker 5: been able to keep him healthy and kind of work
Speaker 5: him into some situation like that, But you know, it
Speaker 5: wasn't to be. And so again, if something presents itself,
Speaker 5: you know, if we're fortunate enough to get to the
Speaker 5: postseason and that situation and it makes sense, it's a conversation,
Speaker 5: but that's not something that we're we're planning on right now.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout, brought to

Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DVA, go back to last night.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers explode in the ninth inning, the back to
Speaker 2: back to back home runs. The big hit from Mookie
Speaker 2: bed certainly was was big for the but they don't
Speaker 2: get to that point with a tie game if Michael
Speaker 2: Kopek doesn't get himself out of his own issues there
Speaker 2: in the bottom half of the eighth Any.
Speaker 10: Last night, Yeah, there were runners at second and third
Speaker 10: and after Kopek was able to get the third out
Speaker 10: on a strikeout. He led out a lot of emotion
Speaker 10: on the mound that we have not seen from him
Speaker 10: since the Dodgers acquired Kopek. And after the game last night,
Speaker 10: when we spoke to Freddie Freeman, he said, Kopek getting
Speaker 10: out of that inning and showing that type of emotion
Speaker 10: really fired up that dugout, that Dodger dugout and set
Speaker 10: the stage for the heroics and Mookie Betts in the
Speaker 10: top of the ninth inning. Here was Michael Kopek earlier
Speaker 10: today when I caught up with him in the dugout
Speaker 10: and presented he did not know Freddy had told us that.
Speaker 10: And here was his reaction when I let him know
Speaker 10: that Freddie Freeman thought aloud about that eighth inning and
Speaker 10: about the emotion.
Speaker 11: He showed, Yeah, I don't think it's like a conscious
Speaker 11: thing I'm thinking of, like you know, I want to,
Speaker 11: like yell or scream or anything, get and get everybody fired.
Speaker 11: It's not like that necessarily, but I felt how important
Speaker 11: the moment was. You know, tig game. We're coming off
Speaker 11: a rough couple of games before that had runners in
Speaker 11: scoring position with no outs. I knew I needed to
Speaker 11: buckle down, so to speak, right there, and Mark basically
Speaker 11: told me as much on the mound, and I, you know,
Speaker 11: not personal is how.
Speaker 1: I took it.
Speaker 6: But I took it like.
Speaker 11: You know, like a fire was lit under me, and
Speaker 11: you know, to be able to get out of that
Speaker 11: inning was huge for me personally, but I knew bigger
Speaker 11: than me, it was important for the team. So yeah,
Speaker 11: I was fired up. I didn't really like take that
Speaker 11: moment as a chance to fire the team up, but
Speaker 11: I'm glad that that's what it did. And that ninth
Speaker 11: inning was incredible. I don't think I've seen anything like that.
Speaker 6: That was so organic. Like you said, like what you
Speaker 6: did that was just you in that moment.
Speaker 10: It feels like you guys kind of needed that, and
Speaker 10: I know it wasn't something that you playing, And I
Speaker 10: feel like that means more to a team than trying
Speaker 10: to script it or be you not authentic.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, Like I mean, there's a time and there's guys
Speaker 11: that are really good at the vocal leadership, the guys
Speaker 11: that will come in and they'll you know, they'll yell
Speaker 11: and say some inspiring words and get everybody fired up.
Speaker 11: But you know, if that doesn't come across organically, like
Speaker 11: you said, then it almost falls flat. There's nothing really there.
Speaker 11: But if if you can see everybody doing exactly what
Speaker 11: they're supposed to do and playing the game the right way,
Speaker 11: playing the game hard, playing the game of passion, I
Speaker 11: think that that is really contagious amongst the team, especially
Speaker 11: a team like this, you know, and we've had that
Speaker 11: since I've been here, with the exception of maybe a
Speaker 11: few games leading up to yesterday, and I think that
Speaker 11: that everyone, you know, wanted to get that back, and
Speaker 11: we had some, you know, some thoughts about it in
Speaker 11: the clubhouse, and I think that that game just was
Speaker 11: the overall the games a moment such as far as
Speaker 11: Walker going out there and doom where he did was
Speaker 11: huge for us. And then for all the boys to
Speaker 11: rally like that in the ninth it was just really special.
Speaker 10: I know that's private in the clubhouse there, but when
Speaker 10: Dave Roberts has all you guys together, did you feel
Speaker 10: like it was the right timing for that and the
Speaker 10: way you guys came out and that eighth inning, that
Speaker 10: ninth inning capped off what started the day.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, look, I don't I don't think he
Speaker 11: was like necessarily trying to to be anything other than
Speaker 11: just like, you know, talk to us, level headed. You know,
Speaker 11: I think that we were all on the same page.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 11: It was just a simple conversation and and what what
Speaker 11: he wants from us, and what he you know, what
Speaker 11: we expect from each other. And so it wasn't anything
Speaker 11: as far as like this big ordeal of the meeting
Speaker 11: or anything like that. But you know, I know that
Speaker 11: what he said to me spoke spoke to me pretty strongly.
Speaker 11: For us to be able to have a game like
Speaker 11: that was a really big goal.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 10: There was Michael Kopek earlier today. Tim very candid with
Speaker 10: his thoughts about last night's eighth inning and also what
Speaker 10: was said during that Dave Roberts called team meeting.
Speaker 3: Dave was driven by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like his choices, find yours
Speaker 2: with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid all
Speaker 2: electric tough this market only be called F one fifty
Speaker 2: Otani through again today, Dave.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is part of his throwing program to come
Speaker 10: back from his second elbow surgery.
Speaker 4: Tim.
Speaker 10: As you know, we reported that he did throw another
Speaker 10: bullpen session the first day here in Atlanta, but there's
Speaker 10: been a lot of speculation about whether or not the
Speaker 10: Dodgers are considering having Otani pitch in any postseason game.
Speaker 10: I was told again today that it's a long shot
Speaker 10: right now. I was told the percentage of Otani pitching
Speaker 10: in a postseason game is at ten percent. But the
Speaker 10: Dodgers don't plan on shutting down his throwing programs, so
Speaker 10: that always leaves the door open. And as I reported yesterday,
Speaker 10: I've spoken to Japanese media members that have covered Otani
Speaker 10: going back to Japan. They don't believe Otani would ramp
Speaker 10: it up to try to pitch in an NLDS game
Speaker 10: or an NLCS game. They feel like if he were
Speaker 10: to pitch out of necessity for the team, it would
Speaker 10: be on the stage of the World Series. So the
Speaker 10: Dodgers have to get there first. There's a long ways
Speaker 10: to go before you even start talking that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's ways down the road, as you said, DV,
Speaker 2: all right, appreciate it. We'll check back in with you

Speaker 1: But first and now joined by David Basseying, here's La
Speaker 1: Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 10: Rick the final game of this four game series. The
Speaker 10: Dodgers are feeling optimistic after last night start from Walker Bueller.
Speaker 7: Did you notice something also that took place today. I mean,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers win last night, right, the sun came out today.
Speaker 6: Oh it's hot Lanta today, Rick, Well.
Speaker 7: Not really hot hot. We're going to have some hot weather,
Speaker 7: although it'd be indoors the next three that being in Miami.
Speaker 7: But I thought it was rather amusing that, you know, overcast,
Speaker 7: little drizzly the first night, Dodgers win last night, to
Speaker 7: come from behind victory, and the sun came out today.
Speaker 10: Maybe Tommy Lesorda in blue Heaven was shining down on
Speaker 10: the Dodgers today.
Speaker 7: It could be, And what a what a display all
Speaker 7: of a sudden. I noticed something also, and you know
Speaker 7: you can you can label me as an optimist. That's
Speaker 7: that's the way I lived my life. But in that
Speaker 7: ninth inning, when the Dodgers came alive, all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: we saw some enthusiasm, and for very good reason. I mean,
Speaker 7: coming from behind, the three consecutive home runs, yes, but
Speaker 7: also you had one two ring, four five batters in
Speaker 7: a row in that ninth inning that knocked in runs.
Speaker 7: This is a ball club. I think now that it's
Speaker 7: getting hungry to close the gap and clinch playoff, Rick,
Speaker 7: do you.
Speaker 6: Believe we'll see other managers.
Speaker 10: Opposing managers continue to walk Otani in front of Mookie
Speaker 10: bets and crucial situations.
Speaker 7: Ask Mooki events how big that smile is getting because
Speaker 7: he's two for two when that has happened in recent
Speaker 7: times when they walk Otani and we understand full well
Speaker 7: while you're walking Otani, I mean, but as pick your poison,
Speaker 7: And for Mookie Bentz, he takes it as a personal challenge,
Speaker 7: not as an insult, but as a challenge.
Speaker 6: What's the difference.
Speaker 7: It's bubblerk relations inside. Yeah, he's taking you personally.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 10: It kind of goes back to the story you've told
Speaker 10: about Ernie Banks and yourself.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 6: He asked you, who do you get mad at the
Speaker 6: picture of the boss?
Speaker 7: And he said, let me ask you a question in
Speaker 7: the way. Ernie says, here you get managed pol where
Speaker 7: you get mad at the picture? And before he could answered,
Speaker 7: he walked away. This is many many years ago, obviously,
Speaker 7: and it was years later then I finally got a
Speaker 7: chance to talk. Dernie said, hey, you asked me a
Speaker 7: question before if I got mad at the ball or
Speaker 7: I got mad at the picture? What was your answer?
Speaker 7: I said, I got mad.
Speaker 1: At the ball.
Speaker 7: He goes right answer. He says, there's too many different
Speaker 7: pictures as the same baseball.
Speaker 10: So you feel like that applies to Mookie Betts. He
Speaker 10: gets mad at the ball, not the manager.
Speaker 7: Let me tell you this. If they walk O Tony
Speaker 7: tonight to get to Mookie Betts, I'm expecting big, big things.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we look forward to that.
Speaker 10: And the Dodgers are facing one of your old teammates,
Speaker 10: Protege and Max Freed. Reggie Smith was a mentor to
Speaker 10: Max Freed all those years in Encino.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and what I thought. You know, I'm a
Speaker 7: little surprised you didn't bring up he as a valley guy.
Speaker 7: Oh you didn't mention the city. Yeah, because you're a
Speaker 7: valley guy yourself.
Speaker 10: Well, Max Freed and I have formed a tight relationships
Speaker 10: since we both have been terrabuleivart ties.
Speaker 7: And I noticed you had a tight relationship talking to
Speaker 7: the Bazuka today. Yeah, Bruce ar Grandero were going to
Speaker 7: talk about him a little bit later on.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 10: But I feel like people should still have the same
Speaker 10: outlook that gratterol express to me. Rick a lot of
Speaker 10: gratitude for where he's at after a big shoulder injury.
Speaker 10: He just seems to be very grateful for what he has.
Speaker 7: Isn't that the story with all of us?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we should be a little bit more grateful.
Speaker 7: The sun came out today, David, enjoy it.
Speaker 6: Thanks Rick.
Speaker 10: We'll check back in with you and Tim Nevertt a
Speaker 10: little bit later. The sun's always out. When Rick Monday's
Speaker 10: with me, we'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 3: Are they so lot?
Speaker 2: Guys, Dodgers fans, start your future at California Community College.
Speaker 2: Financial aids available to help you, intuition, books, sometimes even
Speaker 2: the rent. Yeah, it's time to take that next big step.
Speaker 2: Classes can fill up quickly, so enroll today and I
Speaker 2: can go to college dot com. Still to come here

Speaker 2: this pitching matchup with Yoshi Yamamoto going up against Max Freed.
Speaker 2: Rick will be back with Tim. Never gets you those
Speaker 2: keys to the game right before first.
Speaker 3: Pitch, But I'm nice.
Speaker 2: We go high in tight with the birthday boy, Oral Hersheiser. Yes,
Speaker 2: the bulldog celebrating a birthday. We'll hear from him next.
Speaker 2: Leaning up to Dodgers and Braves. I'm Tim Katson's Los

Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 10: It's always our pleasure to celebrate one of the greatest
Speaker 10: Dodgers in franchise history. World Series MVP Cy Young Award
Speaker 10: a man that certainly left his shoulder on the mound
Speaker 10: for the Dodgers, and today we are celebrating the Bulldog
Speaker 10: for his sixty sixth birthday. Oral Happy birthday from all
Speaker 10: of us. You know how much La and Dodger fans
Speaker 10: love you, so I hope you're having a great day.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 14: You know the reason they love me is we got
Speaker 14: to go back to eighty eight, right, and that was
Speaker 14: the year that changed everybody's life and the memory of
Speaker 14: the Dodgers and everything that happened, all the way from
Speaker 14: being drafted in the seventeenth round in nineteen seventy nine
Speaker 14: to here, I am still talking to Dodger fans and
Speaker 14: loving the fact that they love me. So thank you
Speaker 14: for the birthday wishes.
Speaker 10: Speaking of nineteen eighty eight, obviously you were in the
Speaker 10: middle of your record setting consecutive scoreless inning streak on
Speaker 10: September sixteenth, nineteen eighty eight. Do you remember that birthday
Speaker 10: more than others?
Speaker 6: I guess so.
Speaker 14: I guess I remember it more. Not because of the streak,
Speaker 14: of course, the streak is there in baseball fans in
Speaker 14: my mind. But September fifteenth was my seconde was born Jordan,
Speaker 14: so Jordan Douglas Hirscheiser was born September fifteenth, and then
Speaker 14: my birthday September sixteenth, so it's always a special time
Speaker 14: of year. And here we are on the road in
Speaker 14: Atlanta on when Jordan's birthday was yesterday and mine is today.
Speaker 14: We will celebrate when we get home to La So
Speaker 14: we're already planning a special dinner and every year it's
Speaker 14: a special celebration where he gets presents and I get cards.
Speaker 6: At this stage, right, oh for sure.
Speaker 14: You know he might even get a check in his
Speaker 14: card and I just get a nice card and maybe
Speaker 14: a new tie for broadcasting.
Speaker 10: Well, I guess now that you're a broadcaster, you find
Speaker 10: yourself in these weird cities like Atlanta.
Speaker 6: Were you able to celebrate last night?
Speaker 14: I really just stayed in my room, cocooning, watching football,
Speaker 14: watching the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Hanging out.
Speaker 14: So it's one of those days that you know, when
Speaker 14: you have a busy life, sometimes that hotel room gets
Speaker 14: to be a nice oasis. You get away, you get
Speaker 14: to sleep in, you don't have to do anything. And
Speaker 14: with an off day, it's been an odd road trip
Speaker 14: for me because we had Apple TV do the first game.
Speaker 14: We had ESPN do the game last night, so of
Speaker 14: the four days, we're only broadcasting too. But we're back
Speaker 14: at it tonight.
Speaker 10: Orl Herscheiser, the birthday boy is our guest here in Atlanta.
Speaker 10: You mentioned you watched the game last night. I know
Speaker 10: you're extremely close to Walker Buehler. How optimistic are the
Speaker 10: Dodgers after that type of start?
Speaker 14: Well, I think we continue to see him grow and
Speaker 14: this is a different guy coming back from rehab because
Speaker 14: he's coming back with different tools and the fastballs back
Speaker 14: down maybe you know, three mile an hour or so.
Speaker 14: The stuff is not as quite as sharp and as
Speaker 14: much break, but he's learning to pitch with it, and
Speaker 14: I think that's the good thing. And once he learns
Speaker 14: to pitch with it, I think then the stuff is
Speaker 14: going to go up. And I think we saw that
Speaker 14: last night. It's you know, it's about counts, it's about
Speaker 14: learning to pitch. It's about learning who you are again.
Speaker 14: And for Walker, I think it's a bigger step because
Speaker 14: he had such amazing stuff before, and he had such
Speaker 14: a big ego when he was out there, and it's
Speaker 14: sometimes now, with enough embarrassment and failure, his ego is
Speaker 14: kind of checked at the door, and now he's using
Speaker 14: his intelligence. We're talking about a kid who went to Vanderbilt, right,
Speaker 14: and he could argue with you about almost any subject
Speaker 14: and be right probably about any subject. So he's learning
Speaker 14: through this process and it was really nice for him
Speaker 14: to get results because I think those results are going
Speaker 14: to not only be analyzed and he's going to see
Speaker 14: what he did well and what he did poorly, but
Speaker 14: I think it's going to all of a sudden create
Speaker 14: a better path for him to know where success is.
Speaker 14: And that's important for the Dodgers right now. There is
Speaker 14: no silver lining to these injuries. I know, maybe some
Speaker 14: of the silver that we're finding, like with Walker Bueller
Speaker 14: or Flaherty or Yamamoto tonight, maybe that silver can turn
Speaker 14: into gold in a World Series championship. But boy, were
Speaker 14: getting we're walking on thin ice now.
Speaker 10: As far as injuries, going back to Walker bueler ooral,
Speaker 10: does it all of a sudden click for him because
Speaker 10: last night we did see what you were describing more
Speaker 10: of a pitcher. He used seven different pitches and was
Speaker 10: able to not just try to bully with the fastball.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I don't think you're going to see a bully with
Speaker 14: the fastball. I think he needs to locate and get ahead.
Speaker 14: It's about counts, it's about fundamentals of baseball and using
Speaker 14: the stuff that he has. And I think the stuff
Speaker 14: will get better once he gets the rhythm, once he
Speaker 14: gets that this is who I am and not over trying.
Speaker 14: You can see sometimes when the effort, all of a
Speaker 14: sudden takes him away from some rhythm, which then takes
Speaker 14: you away from location, which then takes you into bad counts,
Speaker 14: which then leads to walks and leads to crooked numbers
Speaker 14: and bad innings. And so you know, you give up
Speaker 14: two runs in the third inning last night without having
Speaker 14: the ball leave the infield. Gavin lux gets the ball
Speaker 14: out of his glove. Maybe it's a different inning. And
Speaker 14: I don't understand why that's called an infield hit and
Speaker 14: on an error, because when you drop a ball as
Speaker 14: an infielder or an outfielder, that's an error. If you
Speaker 14: can't get it out of your glove, that's an error. Also,
Speaker 14: it's kind of like hesitating on a throw or bobbling.
Speaker 14: So I'm not against Gavin and the play as much
Speaker 14: as thinking about Walker and what that out could have
Speaker 14: been for his confidence.
Speaker 6: Oral Herscheizer is our guest.
Speaker 10: He's back in the saddle tonight with Joe Davis on Sportsnet.
Speaker 6: La Yamamoto might.
Speaker 10: Be the most important pitcher to the Dodgers in October.
Speaker 10: Like you said, with all these injuries, what was the
Speaker 10: biggest takeaway you saw from him at Dodgers Stadium the
Speaker 10: last time.
Speaker 14: You know, the swing and miss is just there. It's immaculate.
Speaker 14: And for him to come back, there are guys that
Speaker 14: can hit falling out of bed and not have to
Speaker 14: go on rehab. He looked like the kind of pitcher
Speaker 14: that didn't need rehab, even though the two rehabs starts
Speaker 14: were really just exercise, not good stats at all, you know,
Speaker 14: and he dominated in that outing, and I just think
Speaker 14: that he's a tremendous talent. We've got to keep him healthy.
Speaker 14: It's going to be interesting on the usage as we
Speaker 14: go forward. I mean, you get him up to seventy
Speaker 14: five pitches, maybe you get him up to one hundred
Speaker 14: or just ninety in the next outing. But the key
Speaker 14: is Otani is the headline with the.
Speaker 3: Fifty to fifty chase. The Dodgers are.
Speaker 14: A secondary headline with the National League West Chase. Each time,
Speaker 14: each day, those headlines can shift. But every time Flaherty
Speaker 14: takes the mound, Bueller takes the mound, Yamamoto takes the mount,
Speaker 14: and even Knack now takes the mound. It becomes the
Speaker 14: headline for this team.
Speaker 1: So this is a.
Speaker 14: Different year for the Dodgers and a different year as
Speaker 14: a broadcaster for us because there's storylines right now. Before
Speaker 14: it was like fifteen games up, they've already clinched. What
Speaker 14: do we talk about Now We've got headlines and stories
Speaker 14: and everything that we can talk about, and it's an
Speaker 14: exciting time of year.
Speaker 10: We've talked about it the last two years where the
Speaker 10: five days of rest may have worked against the Dodgers.
Speaker 10: How vital is it for them to get five days
Speaker 10: of rest considering where their pitching staff is.
Speaker 14: Yeah, they got to stay in front of a Milwaukee.
Speaker 14: They've got the tiebreaker with Milwaukee, so that gives them
Speaker 14: a little bit of cushion. Every game that we win
Speaker 14: or every game that they lose makes it even better.
Speaker 14: It's got to stay in front of San Diego. You've
Speaker 14: got two races there, three and a half games with

Speaker 4: Tim, thanks again, We're getting you ready for this one,
Speaker 4: the fourth and final game the Dodgers trying to salvage
Speaker 4: a split in this four game series with the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 4: Yoshanoba Yamamoto makes the start six and two in an
Speaker 4: era of two seventy seven. His last time out, first
Speaker 4: time since the fifteenth of June in a Major League game,
Speaker 4: was against the Cubs. He was very good four innings,
Speaker 4: just allowed three hits, one earned run, but his splitter
Speaker 4: was absolutely terrific.
Speaker 7: It was off the charity. Also had eight strikeouts fifty
Speaker 7: nine pitches in those four innings that he works, So
Speaker 7: we'll see how he's going to work tonight. One thing
Speaker 7: to look at with Yamamoto if we include the entire
Speaker 7: season the first pitch that has been put in play
Speaker 7: in a bat, it's a very high batting average right
Speaker 7: at four hundred. We'll see how that splitter works and
Speaker 7: if he uses it early in counts.
Speaker 4: Tonight, Max Freed going for the Braves. Interesting thing about
Speaker 4: Freed is his splits. They are totally reversed. Left handers
Speaker 4: hitting much better than right handers against the south ball
Speaker 4: three point thirty one for left handed hitters against them.
Speaker 4: So keep an eye on Freddie Freeman and Max Munsey tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah. And also he pitched against the Dodgers in LA
Speaker 7: on the fifth and May went seven innings, but he
Speaker 7: was tagged with a loss. Why well, they gave up
Speaker 7: a couple of home runs, including a first inning home
Speaker 7: run by shoh Otani that was on a hanging curveball
Speaker 7: and that was again a spot where Bens walked and
Speaker 7: then O'tani came back hit the second home run of
Speaker 7: the ball game. That was after Freed had left through seven.
Speaker 7: Johnny went three for three against Fred in that game.
Speaker 7: Freed making is twenty seventh start.
Speaker 4: Yamamoto making his sixteenth start Branson Dodgers wrapping up this series.
Speaker 4: Magic number to clinch the division is down to ten.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, Dodgers start the night eighty eight and
Speaker 2: sixty one is they take on the Braves. Meanwhile, the Brewers,
Speaker 2: who are two games back for the second overall spot
Speaker 2: in the National League, will play host to the Phillies
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks in Colorado to take on the Rockies. A little
