Speaker 2: on Deck. I hope you're enjoying your Tuesday afternoon. You're
Speaker 2: a world champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Sitting at nine and
Speaker 2: three on the season after an eight no start, The
Speaker 2: Dodgers have hit a little speed pump, having lost three
Speaker 2: other lives four this afternoon, though, they look to get
Speaker 2: back on track in Washington, DC as they take on
Speaker 2: the Nationals. Justin Robleski, the left hander on the mountain
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. First pitch coming up at three forty five.
Speaker 2: Between then and now, we got a lot to get
Speaker 2: to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. You're gonna
Speaker 2: hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. You're gonna hear
Speaker 2: from Andrew Freeman as he sits down with David vasse
Speaker 2: DV will join us throughout the show. We'll dive deeper
Speaker 2: into this pitch he matchup. David Vassay, as we mentioned,
Speaker 2: will join us with the magical moment. Shortly we'll visit
Speaker 2: with Kirsten Watson live on the field in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2: We got your prize picks double play of they in
Speaker 2: just a few minutes. We'll send it out to Tim
Speaker 2: neverdey Rick Monday at the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday,
Speaker 2: Dustin May got the start, pitched really well, Unfortunately didn't
Speaker 2: get any help. Early in the second the Dodgers with
Speaker 2: a pair of airs from Mookie Betts and Miguel Rojas
Speaker 2: that led to two runs coming across for the Washington
Speaker 2: Nationals and they took the early two to nothing lead.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers zo were able to tie it in the
Speaker 2: third Chris Taylor single with two outs that turned the
Speaker 2: lineup over for sho hey Otani, who hit a home
Speaker 2: run to right field three hundred and seventy eight feet out,
Speaker 2: his fourth of the season, that tied the game at two.
Speaker 2: But the tide did not last long. At the bottom
Speaker 2: of the third, Dustin May gave up an RBI single
Speaker 2: that gave the Nationals the three to two lead. In
Speaker 2: the seventh, the Dodgers bullpen would get tagged for.
Speaker 3: A couple of runs.
Speaker 2: Anthony Bonda he gave up a couple, Matt sur a
Speaker 2: couple as the Nationals would take a sixth to lead.
Speaker 2: Going to the eighth innywhere the Dodgers offense finally warmed up.
Speaker 2: In refrigid Washington, DC, Mookie Betts got it going.
Speaker 4: Twenty two thousand and five hundred and forty six on
Speaker 4: hand tonight the Nationals Park, Game one, on this three
Speaker 4: game set, two to one pitch, Betts banks it in
Speaker 4: the center. That's a basic Confordo will turn third, he
Speaker 4: will score and bits with an RBI basin and it's
Speaker 4: six to three.
Speaker 2: The comeback kids making the comeback in the eighth inning,
Speaker 2: down six to two, making six to three on the
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets RBI single, and they still weren't done up.
Speaker 3: Came Will Smith.
Speaker 4: Now he throws and Smith hits it in the air
Speaker 4: to center field. That's a base hit. Bets will score.
Speaker 4: Edmund holds it second and on a two to two pitch,
Speaker 4: Will Smith fought off a splitter, dropped it into the
Speaker 4: center field. It is now six to four and the
Speaker 4: time run is on base.
Speaker 2: Will Smith with the RBI single, But the Dodgers threat
Speaker 2: would end as they could not push across any more
Speaker 2: runs they had runners on base. They end up losing
Speaker 2: six to four to the Washington Nationals, yet another game
Speaker 2: in which the Dodgers fell behind early tied, it fell
Speaker 2: behind again, but the comeback comes up short. Dustin May
Speaker 2: gets tagged with the loss despite six innings, three runs,
Speaker 2: only one of which was earned, three hits, a strikeout,
Speaker 2: eighty six pitches. McKenzie gore gets the win. He went
Speaker 2: six solids, striking out seven along the way. Dodgers fall
Speaker 2: to nine and three. They've now lost three of four
Speaker 2: on this East Coast road trip, but they look to
Speaker 2: turn things around this afternoon with Justin Robleski, the left tender,
Speaker 2: getting the start.
Speaker 3: With more we head out to the.
Speaker 2: Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Tip Neffert
Speaker 2: and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 4: Thanks, Tim. Sun's out this afternoon here in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: But the temperatures are down, so the sun's up, temperatures down,
Speaker 4: and it is pretty windy down there on the field
Speaker 4: as the Dodgers will take on the Washington Nationals in
Speaker 4: Game two. There's three games series. Dodgers have lost two
Speaker 4: of the last three, three of the last four, and
Speaker 4: there are now nine and three on the season. As
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski will be activated today and the left Hander
Speaker 4: will pitch against Brad Lord and what will turn out
Speaker 4: to be a bullpen game for the Nationals. The national
Speaker 4: will start the day at four and six and Mo
Speaker 4: it is really breezy. It doesn't look at from up
Speaker 4: here in our elevated perch, but you're down on the field,
Speaker 4: it is cold. It is very windy, and that can
Speaker 4: make for some tough condition.
Speaker 5: You know, Tim, just thinking about the win, I'm not
Speaker 5: certain that even down in the field, the players will
Speaker 5: know exactly which way to compensate for balls they're hitting
Speaker 5: in the air. Here's the reason I say that this
Speaker 5: stadium is located well below street level, as we can
Speaker 5: look out in left field and we can actually see
Speaker 5: the street level as people are coming in. The other
Speaker 5: part too, is all the buildings around. Plus you have
Speaker 5: the stands. I'm not certain the areas that there may
Speaker 5: or may not be wind tunnels, which areas are going
Speaker 5: to be blowing in one direction versus the other. If
Speaker 5: we look at the flags atop the scoreboard in right
Speaker 5: center field, it shows that the winds coming in from
Speaker 5: the left field corner really towards the second base bag.
Speaker 5: What is doing on the field.
Speaker 4: Good luck, guys, and as a player, as the night
Speaker 4: goes on and the temperature drops this time of the year,
Speaker 4: this part of the country, how do you handle that
Speaker 4: as a player when you're in the dugout, and how
Speaker 4: do you not stiffing them?
Speaker 5: What I did notice is it some of the players
Speaker 5: even in last night's ball game, when they came into
Speaker 5: the dugout, I mean, they were putting jackets on. The
Speaker 5: Other part too, is there's some heaters down there. What
Speaker 5: were they putting in front of some of the heaters
Speaker 5: their gloves to try and keep them a little bit warm.
Speaker 5: On top of it, and quite frankly, the Dodgers' gloves
Speaker 5: need to warm up because they had not really been
Speaker 5: spectacular in this road track.
Speaker 4: Oh, a tough night last night. Errors by Mookie Batsan
Speaker 4: Miguel Rojas led to two runs and the Dodgers would
Speaker 4: lose that ballgame by two runs, six to four. So
Speaker 4: it's a night time to get back on the winning track.
Speaker 4: And they'll try to do it with Andy Paiez back
Speaker 4: in the lineup. He'll hit eighth, Austin Barnes will do
Speaker 4: the catch up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, here's something else we'll talk about during the ball game.
Speaker 5: I refer a lot to runners in scoring opportunities because
Speaker 5: the chance to do some scoring. Well. On this road trip,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers have had a total and in the four
Speaker 5: games they're totally just fifteen at bats with runners in
Speaker 5: scoring position. The opposing teams have had thirty two different opportunities.
Speaker 5: If you weigh those opportunities, you would say, well, the
Speaker 5: opposing team has a better edge. Well, the Dodgers are
Speaker 5: one and three on this road trip, so that's exactly
Speaker 5: how it's stacked up to this point.
Speaker 4: Nationals have a bit of an edge right now. They've
Speaker 4: won three straight. They won two in a row by
Speaker 4: a run each against the Arizona Diamondbacks before the Dodgers
Speaker 4: came in. So the Nationals two games under five hundred
Speaker 4: after a one and six start, they're four and six.
Speaker 4: So justin Robleski making his twenty twenty five debut, Brad
Speaker 4: Lord will get the start out of the bullpen. Basically,
Speaker 4: the twenty five year old out of Tallahassee, Florida will
Speaker 4: get the nod on on the hill for the Washington Nationals.
Speaker 4: Nationals Dodgers Game two coming up from windy and cold Washington, DC.
Speaker 6: Too.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you guys, As we cut you down
Speaker 2: the first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game Dave meal

Speaker 1: on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Nationals. Game two of this three game set
Speaker 2: from Washington, d C. Justin Robleski and Brad Lord. The
Speaker 2: pitching match up first pitch set for three forty five.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani.
Speaker 7: Rewide show.
Speaker 4: Hey did not homer in the Philly series, so you
Speaker 4: got to figure somebody here in DC is gonna pay
Speaker 4: for it this week. Now a two old pitch, Otani
Speaker 4: swings hammers it deep to right. This one's heading.
Speaker 1: Back to the wall.
Speaker 4: It has gone a home run, and Otani ties the
Speaker 4: game with his fourth home run of the season.
Speaker 5: A lot of pitchers think, he look, we can pitch
Speaker 5: him inside. Oh if you miss, might want to put
Speaker 5: cotton in your ears.
Speaker 4: O two swung on a hit of the year to
Speaker 4: center in deep, going back on it is Dylan Cruiz.
Speaker 7: He's at the track, he's at the wall. He leaps, it's.
Speaker 4: Off the top of the wall. Otani already around second base.
Speaker 4: He's on his way to third with a stand up triple.
Speaker 4: Oh Otani, he's blusting it out of the batter's box
Speaker 4: and he is at third and now was a double
Speaker 4: away from the cycle.
Speaker 2: What a day for show Hey Otani. Unfortunately the Dodgers
Speaker 2: lose six to four, but show hey, three for four,
Speaker 2: a single, a triple, a home run is fourth of
Speaker 2: the year. Show Hey, a double away yesterday from the cycle.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Wasson.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kirsten joins us from Nationals Park.
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Cars for Kids. Ready to donate
Speaker 2: your old car? Call eight seven seven Cars for Kids
Speaker 2: right now, friendly agent standing by to take your donation.
Speaker 3: That's Cars with the K to donate.
Speaker 2: Your car today today in our nation's capital. It is
Speaker 2: Wendy Hereson, isn't it.
Speaker 8: It is so cold, Tim, I mean, look at here
Speaker 8: are what sixteen to sixteen miles p hour just wins normal.
Speaker 8: Then you've got thirty miles pour gusts that are coming through.
Speaker 8: And talking to Gil Rojas earlier, the guys are hitting
Speaker 8: off with velocity. They we're seeing just the ball is
Speaker 8: a moving coming out of the picture's hand. So obviously
Speaker 8: most of just already have their own type of moment.
Speaker 8: Add the win to that, you definitely have to keep
Speaker 8: an eye on that. Offensively, and talking to my from
Speaker 8: Florida and he was saying, it's more you just have
Speaker 8: to stay on your toes and stay ready because that
Speaker 8: any point, adductive win or the ball could just change direction.
Speaker 8: So that's the biggest thing for them. It did say
Speaker 8: you could try to use the win to your advantage.
Speaker 8: But how is blowing out It's more towards like right
Speaker 8: field right now. If it was blowing towards more back
Speaker 8: like towards the boutfield, then you could be in a
Speaker 8: better position. But it did say they don't think it'll
Speaker 8: be too intimate advantage in that sense of just putting
Speaker 8: the ball in the air, letting it kind of go
Speaker 8: with the wings.
Speaker 2: Well, one guy hoping to win helps him out tonight
Speaker 2: is Justin Robleski, who gets to start.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he sure is, And Dave Roberts was saying for
Speaker 8: Justin he obviously last year we saw just major league
Speaker 8: debut and had some really strong starts and some strong
Speaker 8: outings from the back end, just kind of had to
Speaker 8: wear a few things and things weren't going as lovey
Speaker 8: as hope. So coming into that, he got into the
Speaker 8: sixth inning and it was fantastic. He comes into this
Speaker 8: one just the different mindset coming into this year, more confident,
Speaker 8: more understanding it is the talent stuff plays, particularly lovetape, and
Speaker 8: you know he's realized he just bully big lead hitters
Speaker 8: at the basketball. He's going to have to lean on
Speaker 8: his secondary stuff. Maybe has that tonight, then they do
Speaker 8: suspect that he could have a really quality just first
Speaker 8: start of the season the big leagues, and potentially it's
Speaker 8: some more to come, especially with Blake's helping on the
Speaker 8: eye out.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, they're going to need these young arms more
Speaker 2: than ever this year. Already here in April, Justin Rolbleski
Speaker 2: being called upon kist.
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. We'll check in with you after the game.
Speaker 2: So they come here on Wrongo because you know, Dodgers
Speaker 2: on deck will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David
Speaker 2: Vatsa goes what on one with Andrew Freeman. But now
Speaker 2: we get you an injury report and we here for
Speaker 2: the manager, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Nationals first
Speaker 2: bitch at three forty five.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Katese and this is the world champion Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Cassino Dodgers Hunt game on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Decatinues on this Tuesday afternoons. We
Speaker 2: lead you up to first pitch Dodgers in Nationals Marongo
Speaker 2: Casino Resort and spat a Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski and Brad Lord. The pitching matchup, first pitch
Speaker 2: set for three forty five.
Speaker 1: He's the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Injury Report presented by UCLA Healthy, Official medical partner of
Speaker 2: your Los Angeles Dodgers. Blake Snell on the IL with
Speaker 2: the left shoulder inflammation. Freddie Freeman not with the team,
Speaker 2: on the IL, working his way back from the short
Speaker 2: riot ankle, Tony Gonsolin, Evan Phillips both on minor league
Speaker 2: rehab assignments working their way back. Clayton Kershaw through a
Speaker 2: bullpen sho yesterday in Washington, DC. He is only on
Speaker 2: the sixty day IL. All right, let's back out to
Speaker 2: Nationals Park and check out with the Dodgers. Gipper questions
Speaker 2: for Dave Dave?
Speaker 7: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Robbers Dave First?
Speaker 9: Just Jessa Robleski. He's got the start today. I know
Speaker 9: how he ended last year was a tough one, but
Speaker 9: to see how impressive he was this spring, how have
Speaker 9: you seen him just develop and evolve as a big
Speaker 9: league pitcher? And what are you hoping to see with
Speaker 9: him with this experience today, he's grown.
Speaker 6: You know, I think that most young players I like
Speaker 6: this stuff. It's a good fastball. I think the thing
Speaker 6: with Justin is he's understanding how to use his secondary
Speaker 6: pitches to kind of keep guys major league hitters off
Speaker 6: balance and not trying to always overpower them. This is
Speaker 6: a young ball club that swings the bats, they put
Speaker 6: the ball in play, and so it's gonna be a
Speaker 6: good challenge and we got to play good defense behind him.
Speaker 6: But you know, I think he should have a good
Speaker 6: one if his secondary is where it needs to be.
Speaker 9: Speaking of defense, just a handful of errors in the
Speaker 9: last few games. Do you think it's just something that
Speaker 9: it's early in the season. I know you've talked about
Speaker 9: wanting to clean up a few things, but it does
Speaker 9: seem it's a bit uncharacteristic of just this the makeup
Speaker 9: of this team it is.
Speaker 6: It's a little disconcerting given the talent level the way
Speaker 6: our guys work. But you know, I think baseball, I
Speaker 6: guess at some points it is cyclical with certain things,
Speaker 6: and right now we're just not playing clean defensively. But
Speaker 6: I do think it's going to change. It'll get better
Speaker 6: and again, like I said, it's just not from lack
Speaker 6: of preparational work.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about the defense and
Speaker 2: needs to improve. It has cost him on this road
Speaker 2: trip so far big time. Yesterday early on we continue
Speaker 2: here on.
Speaker 3: Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: We'll check in with David Vase, so we get to
Speaker 2: the latest Nationals Park because we leave you up the
Speaker 2: first pitch on this Tuesday. I'm Tim Kats's, the world
Speaker 2: champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on tach on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Nationals.
Speaker 2: Justin Robuski, Brad Lord the pitching matchup, first pitch coming
Speaker 2: up at three forty.
Speaker 1: Five, joining Tim Kits on Dodgers on Tack.
Speaker 7: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger inside there, David Basse.
Speaker 2: Alright, DV. It's the East Coast. It's April. It's not hot.
Speaker 3: It's pretty cold out there, right. Yeah.
Speaker 10: When you see the scene here at Nationals Park, you
Speaker 10: would think it was eighty degrees a beautiful day here
Speaker 10: in late March.
Speaker 7: But that's not the case.
Speaker 10: There's not a cloud in the sky, but temperatures are
Speaker 10: going to dip into the high thirties once the sun
Speaker 10: goes down, So this is not the ideal condition to
Speaker 10: play baseball, even though it's not as wet as it
Speaker 10: was yesterday. Right now with the sun shining and the
Speaker 10: ground screw getting the field ready, it's about forty degrees
Speaker 10: right now at Nationals Park with the wind blowing from
Speaker 10: left to right into center fields, so it's going to
Speaker 10: be It may look like there's no weather issues affecting
Speaker 10: the way guys are playing, but certainly this is going
Speaker 10: to be a very cold game played Game two of
Speaker 10: this three game series.
Speaker 2: David is driven by four. If there's one thing we like,
Speaker 2: it's choices, fine yours. With the Ford F one fifty
Speaker 2: gas hybrid, all electric tough, this march can only be
Speaker 2: called F one fifty. We all went on that middle
Speaker 2: school Washington, DC sight seeing trip when we were a younger.
Speaker 2: DV and some of the Dodger players they went to
Speaker 2: the White House yesterday and they kind of kept that
Speaker 2: theme going today with the tourism.
Speaker 10: Huh yeah, and they kept the World Series trophy on
Speaker 10: the tour of our nation's capital today. They went to
Speaker 10: go see the California Senators at Capitol Hill.
Speaker 7: Tyler Glass now Will.
Speaker 10: Smith Roberts were among the Dodgers ownership led by Mark
Speaker 10: Walter and Stan Casten, so they took the trophy there.
Speaker 10: Obviously the whole team did not go. That's that's a
Speaker 10: special thing for the White House. But yeah, maybe this
Speaker 10: closes the book on the victory tour of the twenty
Speaker 10: twenty four World Series.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski goes for the Dodgers, called up from Triple A.
Speaker 2: He had a really good spring and a good start
Speaker 2: in Triple A. Has started in Oklahoma City. But DV
Speaker 2: Brad Lurd, this starter for the Washington Nationals got kind
Speaker 2: of a fun background.
Speaker 7: Yeah, how about this?
Speaker 10: During this past offseason he was working at home depot
Speaker 10: to make extra money as a minor league pitcher. And
Speaker 10: here he is three games into his major league career
Speaker 10: and making his first ever career start against Sho Hao Tani,
Speaker 10: Mookie Betts and the rest of the world champion Dodgers.
Speaker 10: If that's not a Cinderella story, I'm not sure what is.
Speaker 10: And we'll see what he has. But he really isn't
Speaker 10: going to go that far because he has been pitching
Speaker 10: out of the bullpen, so the reports around the Nationals
Speaker 10: are that he's going to be limited to forty five
Speaker 10: to fifty pitches and you won't see Kyle Finnigan likely
Speaker 10: at the end of the game. He threw thirty two
Speaker 10: pitches in a five out save yesterday. That was his
Speaker 10: third save in as many days. You don't see too
Speaker 10: many closers pitch four straight days. Only am Manuel Classe
Speaker 10: has that distinction in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Real quick, dv the defense, especially on this road trip,
Speaker 2: it's been an issue.
Speaker 3: Is it something to be concerned about.
Speaker 10: You'll hear from Andrew Friedman a little bit later. Tim,
Speaker 10: I'll bring that topic up to him. But certainly the
Speaker 10: Dodgers believe they could be much better than what they
Speaker 10: have shown on this road trip. But it's going to
Speaker 10: be a cold night, so we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2: Bundle up with that new jacket, Deevie. We'll talk to
Speaker 2: you in just a couple of minutes. Coming up here
Speaker 2: on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. You're gonna hear from

Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be nice. This road trip has not
Speaker 5: been kind. They have not played really good baseball either.
Speaker 5: The four games they've dropped three into the lost column.

Speaker 5: of different times. Dodgers now with the Giants, are trailing
Speaker 5: Sandygo Pandres and the Andres came in with a lot
Speaker 5: of hullaballah, but hey, we may be able to do
Speaker 5: some things. And they have here early on the eighth
Speaker 5: of April. It's the and Andres that lead the Western Division.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's interesting after an eat and no start, Like
Speaker 10: you said, Rick, the Dodgers find themselves not in second place,
Speaker 10: but in third place in the division.
Speaker 5: Yeah, percentage points behind the San Francisco Giants. They're both
Speaker 5: a half game out, but they can play much better,
Speaker 5: and quite fink they are going to play better. But
Speaker 5: I would rather see them sooner be able to do
Speaker 5: that than later. And they have not really torn up
Speaker 5: some of the bullpens. And that's kind of because if
Speaker 5: you look at the strength of this book Dodger Ball
Speaker 5: Club last year. We talked about it in spring twenty two.
Speaker 5: Late in games and while they've outscored in innings seven
Speaker 5: eight to nine, found some interesting numbers earlier today, they've
Speaker 5: outscored the opposing teams by only six runs over the
Speaker 5: final three innings of ball games. They've done most of
Speaker 5: their damage in the middle of the games and not
Speaker 5: so much early in the game, so that that would
Speaker 5: be nice to kind of change things around a little
Speaker 5: bit and not have to worry about coming back. Just
Speaker 5: keep in mind of the nine victories, six of those
Speaker 5: wins are come from behind wins.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And it feels like the Dodgers are playing behind
Speaker 10: quite a bit so far to start this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And I think other clubs understand here's the deal too.
Speaker 5: Everybody understands, Hey, here's the defending world champions that are
Speaker 5: coming in. They want a big piece of this Dodger
Speaker 5: ball club. And they've gotten the piece of it now
Speaker 5: three different times on this road trip. And it's going
Speaker 5: to change, no question about it. We'll find out tonight
Speaker 5: what's going to happen. Also, Also it's interesting too if
Speaker 5: we look at the starting lineup tonight, Will Smith is
Speaker 5: not in there behind the plate again. It's going to
Speaker 5: be Austin Barnes doing the catching.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he's catching Justin Robleski. The Dodgers have a
Speaker 10: triple A staff that could start for many Major League teams,
Speaker 10: and today is the Robleski start day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'll be fine. But other than that, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: again need to tighten the belt. And they had a
Speaker 5: couple of miscues in last night's ball game, and I
Speaker 5: expect him to play much better. It's going to be
Speaker 5: another chilly night, so hopefully the guys understand that they'll
Speaker 5: bundle up right along with you, David Maasse.
Speaker 10: No doubt, And one thing I wanted to bring up
Speaker 10: yesterday you talk about night getting to bullpens, felt like
Speaker 10: Kyle Finnegan, the Nationals closer who got the five out
Speaker 10: saved last night, felt like he held on by this
Speaker 10: much because the Dodgers really had him on the road.
Speaker 5: I like his comments after the ballgame is is I
Speaker 5: wanted the baseball. I wanted to be in there, and
Speaker 5: I wanted to be able to close it out. Well
Speaker 5: he did. He may have done a high wire rack.
Speaker 5: That's all well and good. A win's a win, doesn't
Speaker 5: matter how you got there.
Speaker 10: Do you know about this right hander for the Nationals,
Speaker 10: Brad Lord? He was at home depot during the off season.
Speaker 5: Yes, I do. This is how much I know about him.
Speaker 5: He's here tonight and he's going to push.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He's been out of the bullpen in the previous appearances,
Speaker 5: three different relief appearances, so I would imagine he's not
Speaker 5: going to be in there for a long time tonight.
Speaker 10: I didn't have a chance to ask you this last
Speaker 10: night on your way out, but did you feel like
Speaker 10: after Otawanni started the game three for three, a double
Speaker 10: shy the cycle he was going to be able to
Speaker 10: complete it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I read your post also last night
Speaker 5: that yeah, I figured the double could come up rather
Speaker 5: easily for him, especially in his ballpark. This is a
Speaker 5: rather friendly ballpark to get extra base hints. You've got
Speaker 5: I think at six different angles in the fences here,
Speaker 5: and it's not particularly a deep field down the right
Speaker 5: field line or the left field line for that matter.
Speaker 10: All right, Rick, we'll see whether or not o'tani can
Speaker 10: get the cycle tonight. He's got another shot.
Speaker 5: Hey might as well?
Speaker 7: Hey right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So is so is mister Lord.
Speaker 4: Yes he is.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: From the home depot to facing one of the best
Speaker 10: lineups in baseball. We'll send it back to the studio, Tim,
Speaker 10: all right.
Speaker 3: Thanks DV. From Aisle four to the pitching mound. Dodgers fans.
Speaker 2: Start your future at California Community College. Financial aids to
Speaker 2: be able to help you intuition, books and sometimes even
Speaker 2: the rent.
Speaker 3: It's time to take that next big step.
Speaker 2: Classes can film quickly, so enroll today and I can
Speaker 2: go to college dot com so the com will dive
Speaker 2: deeper to this pitching matchup.
Speaker 3: Rikle me back with Tim. Each of those keys to
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: But up next we go high and tight with Andrew
Speaker 2: Friedman Dodgers Nationals.
Speaker 3: First pitch of three forty five.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim kass World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunting game on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Nationals.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski on the mound, first pitch coming up with
Speaker 2: three forty five. Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by
Speaker 2: Zench handcra to Sushi, perfect for that quick, affordable meal
Speaker 2: that the whole family can enjoy while you watch and
Speaker 2: listen to a game. Zenh handcrafted sushi made fresh on
Speaker 2: site daily by professionally trained sushi chefs with precision, passion
Speaker 2: and their tradition. You could taste tuna rolls, the salmon rolls,
Speaker 2: tempura shrimp rolls, the mango crunchy dragon roles. How about
Speaker 2: the poke bowls? They got it all. Find Zench near
Speaker 2: the deli counter at Rouse Zench hand crafted sushi, always fast,
Speaker 2: fresh and easy.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This this high and tight.
Speaker 10: We are in our nation's capital and we're joined right
Speaker 10: now by the Dodgers President of baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. Andrew,
Speaker 10: thanks a lot for the time. And I always love
Speaker 10: it when it's good mood.
Speaker 11: Andrew, Yeah, that's fleeting. I think it. You know, you
Speaker 11: can always tell what mood I'm in based on how
Speaker 11: we're playing.
Speaker 10: Here's something I used to cover the Lakers when Phil
Speaker 10: Jackson and was coaching, and he said he never evaluated
Speaker 10: any of his teams until probably a quarterway through the season.
Speaker 7: Do you look at it big picture like that?
Speaker 10: And also on a day to day basis, how do
Speaker 10: you view it this early in the season.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think you know where we will
Speaker 11: really take stock is basically a third of the season,
Speaker 11: get through May and get a real feel for things.
Speaker 11: That being said, we feel it intensely every day, and
Speaker 11: so's how not to overreact to things that are, you know,
Speaker 11: happening in a moment in time and try to get
Speaker 11: a bigger, broader perspective before making you know, bigger changes.
Speaker 10: When you look at the team so far, obviously, offense
Speaker 10: has got to be the biggest strength is it performing
Speaker 10: the way you envisioned it when you put this together.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 11: No, which is actually pretty exciting. I think there's a
Speaker 11: lot more in there. Offensively, We've had some games with
Speaker 11: some really time hits, which has helped, and it's helped
Speaker 11: to put some points on the board, but just the
Speaker 11: consistency of our offense up and down hasn't really been there.
Speaker 11: A lot of our runs, feels like, have come via
Speaker 11: the home run, which is great to have the ability
Speaker 11: to hit the ball of the park. It's not as
Speaker 11: great when we're relying on it as it kind of
Speaker 11: feels like.
Speaker 3: But this is a.
Speaker 11: Really dynamic, talented offense, and you know, in a lot
Speaker 11: of ways, feel good about where we are record wise,
Speaker 11: because I think from a fundamental standpoint offensively, we haven't
Speaker 11: played to our ability yet, which is great being that
Speaker 11: these wins are in the bank and feel like there's
Speaker 11: even more upside from here.
Speaker 10: I know you block out a lot of the noise,
Speaker 10: but I get to hear it all. So after starting
Speaker 10: out eight to zero, you were unbeatable. Now the team
Speaker 10: has lost three of the last four, and all of
Speaker 10: a sudden, the sky's falling. The defense is horrible, how
Speaker 10: do you keep that perspective.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I'm glad that you feel them. People of
Speaker 11: Los Angeles are really lucky to have you to as
Speaker 11: their outlet.
Speaker 7: You I'm a therapist at times.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, you know, I think any you know, this
Speaker 11: season is a series of daily narratives. When we win,
Speaker 11: things couldn't be any better. When we lose, the sky's
Speaker 11: falling and totally get that, and fans are right. Our
Speaker 11: defense has been really poor the last three or four days.
Speaker 11: We haven't played well fundamentally, but that's not who we are,
Speaker 11: and I will bet a lot that that's not.
Speaker 7: How we will play going forward.
Speaker 11: So while frustrating looking back, everything for us is about
Speaker 11: looking forward and making a bet on what we think
Speaker 11: will happen. And I will bet on this team being
Speaker 11: good defensively and you know, doing what we need to
Speaker 11: to keep runs off the board and with our be
Speaker 11: able to score more than we allow and win a
Speaker 11: lot of games.
Speaker 10: Andrew, I'm not sure we fully appreciated as you did,
Speaker 10: how good Tommy y Edman is playing every day. And
Speaker 10: we were all a little looking at you sideways when
Speaker 10: you said a couple of off seasons ago you had
Speaker 10: two guys at the top of your board Otani and
Speaker 10: Tommy y Edman. But I believe we've started to see
Speaker 10: and we saw it when you acquired him last year,
Speaker 10: just how good he is and what you saw.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that makes it sound like we had
Speaker 11: those guys is like one and two in the league.
Speaker 11: It was more just guys that we felt like really
Speaker 11: fit us and we're going to be, you know, really
Speaker 11: useful guys we could potentially acquire elsewhere. Obviously, Tommy's played great.
Speaker 11: It's been more power than what I expected, more home runs,
Speaker 11: but just doing all the little things on the Field's
Speaker 11: ability to play in field, outfield, run the base is
Speaker 11: just what kind of baseball player he is, even on
Speaker 11: he goes oh for he can help us win a
Speaker 11: game in different ways. So those are the kind of
Speaker 11: players that we really like, and he fits our rosters
Speaker 11: so well.
Speaker 10: How long did you have that vision or want for
Speaker 10: tom Y Edmund. Obviously you have to be patient in
Speaker 10: certain circumstances with teams, But how long had you been
Speaker 10: feeling tom Y Edman would be a great fit for
Speaker 10: this team.
Speaker 11: I mean really since early on was Saint Louis, But
Speaker 11: it wasn't realistic then more in the last like two
Speaker 11: two and a half years, they started entertaining the thought
Speaker 11: of it, and so that's where you know, we spent
Speaker 11: a lot of time trying.
Speaker 7: To acquire him for a couple of years.
Speaker 11: And then felt fortunate to kind of line up on
Speaker 11: that convoluted three way last July.
Speaker 7: Hey, it worked out.
Speaker 10: Michael Kopek and Tommy Edmand were a big part of
Speaker 10: the Dodgers run last year and this year as well.
Speaker 10: As far as the depth of the organization, you take
Speaker 10: a lot of pride in that you going to give
Speaker 10: Yamamoto an extra day of rest tomorrow, Blake Snail's on
Speaker 10: the IL and you have the luxury of having a
Speaker 10: guy like Justin Robletski and Landon Nact be here. What
Speaker 10: can you say about just your starting five in Oklahoma
Speaker 10: City at double A and being able to have this luxury.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean we've talked about it a lot, you know,
Speaker 11: the scouting and player development groups, the work that they
Speaker 11: have done, just how connected they are, the value we've
Speaker 11: been able to create. You know, it's one of my
Speaker 11: favorite things. When we met with Showhy before we signed them,
Speaker 11: and you know, going through our organization and talking about
Speaker 11: our farm system, you know, and got into how everything
Speaker 11: in the system is designed for us to have a
Speaker 11: bottom farm system. We pick at the end of the draft.
Speaker 11: We have less draft money to spend. Our international pool
Speaker 11: is less than everyone in July. Every year, we're trading
Speaker 11: away players to get you know, shorter term players for
Speaker 11: an October push. Everything is designed for us to be
Speaker 11: at the bottom. But we're top five and Joey stops
Speaker 11: me and he just goes how, which I think really
Speaker 11: speaks volumes to the work that our scouting and player
Speaker 11: development group does. And so with as talents as our
Speaker 11: major league team is, we got a lot of talent
Speaker 11: coming as well, and for us to be able to
Speaker 11: do what we're doing on the pitching side right now,
Speaker 11: and just a number of guys that we could have
Speaker 11: a discussion about who would come up and pitch these games.
Speaker 11: And you know, with Tony Gonson on his way back
Speaker 11: and Kersh and Blake coming back, you know, opportunities can
Speaker 11: come and go, and it's hard to predict when things
Speaker 11: will happen. But to Robos credit, to Knacker's credit, they've
Speaker 11: done everything the good to be ready for this opportunity
Speaker 11: and we feel very fortunate to have guys like that
Speaker 11: ready to step in.
Speaker 10: So you weren't considering an Otani spot start today or tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Not yet.
Speaker 11: It's coming, but not yet.
Speaker 7: Where can you tell it?
Speaker 10: What can you tell us about the design for Otani
Speaker 10: this season and how you view his pitching season.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I think for us it's interesting in
Speaker 11: that head he not had left shoulder surgery, you know,
Speaker 11: maybe the timing would look a little bit different, but
Speaker 11: with it, we said, hey, let's make sure we strengthen
Speaker 11: that and get that ready, which then slowed down the
Speaker 11: throwing progression a little bit and just kind of pushed
Speaker 11: everything back. And the biggest thing for us is we'd
Speaker 11: much other error on the side of caution with him
Speaker 11: in this on this front, and so we kind of
Speaker 11: got him going just to make sure everything was in
Speaker 11: order able to you know, make sure his delivery is
Speaker 11: in a good spot ball was coming out of his hand.
Speaker 11: Then kind of slowed it down some in that it
Speaker 11: was never realistic for him to be able to go
Speaker 11: wire to wire, you know, April through a long October
Speaker 11: run and so you know, he started throwing bullpens again
Speaker 11: and we'll start to build him up and get that going.
Speaker 11: We're not going to try to cut any corners. We're
Speaker 11: going to take our time and figure it out and
Speaker 11: basically figure out each step based just on how he's
Speaker 11: recovering and making sure that things are going really well
Speaker 11: with the idea of when we go to get him back,
Speaker 11: to have him plug in and be a big part
Speaker 11: of our pitching staff through October.
Speaker 7: How does that happen?
Speaker 10: How do you thread the needle with a player that
Speaker 10: is so unique and how much he means to your offense.
Speaker 10: Usually a guy would go out on a few rehab starts.
Speaker 10: How do you get him ready for a game when
Speaker 10: that's not an option?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean he's one of one. So all of
Speaker 11: this is kind of uncharted territory for us. Well, I
Speaker 11: think communication is key, and you know, it's one of
Speaker 11: those things that he's almost got like a split personality.
Speaker 11: He's got his offensive mindset and then the pitching and
Speaker 11: he's got his routine dialed on the offensive side and
Speaker 11: on the pitching side. When he gets to a point
Speaker 11: of facing hitters. We can get guys in from Rancho,
Speaker 11: we can set up ZIM games, we can do things
Speaker 11: that simulate a minor league outing at two o'clock.
Speaker 3: Give them time to.
Speaker 11: Go nap in the in the quiet room and then
Speaker 11: come back out. And Dh and Hit laid off for
Speaker 11: us that night.
Speaker 10: All right, Andrew, this looks like a great room too,
Speaker 10: here in the bowels of Nationals Park. I'm not sure
Speaker 10: if anybody could take a nap here.
Speaker 11: No, but I think anytime you're in the vicinity of
Speaker 11: Danny Lehman, you know it's going to be a good day.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's stringy hair that's always standing right next
Speaker 10: to Dave Roberts, and that Dodger dugout is always nearby.
Speaker 11: Have you noticed that hair? Kind of no man's land
Speaker 11: right now? He can't decide whether he's gonna let it
Speaker 11: flow or cut it more business like, he's cutting no
Speaker 11: man's land. So fans, if you have any feedback for me,
Speaker 11: he would welcome it.
Speaker 7: No doubt.
Speaker 10: A man that never speaks only in the Dugout. Outside
Speaker 10: of Dugout, you will never hear from Dodger bench coach
Speaker 10: Danny Lehman. Andrew, thanks a lot for the time. Always
Speaker 10: great to see you. It's been a fun trip so far,
Speaker 10: and we'll keep going with this ride.
Speaker 11: Wow, we'd like to win a few more.
Speaker 7: Games here in this trip. Yeah, you will, you will,
Speaker 7: no panic, Andrew, I'm here the voice of reason. Thank you,
Speaker 7: Thank you. Tim will send it back to you in
Speaker 7: the studio.
Speaker 10: That's the President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman, from.

Speaker 3: All you know it.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in Nationals Game two. This three game says,
Speaker 2: it's the East Coast road trip continuous. First pitch coming
Speaker 2: up at three forty five.
Speaker 1: And now before the Dodgers hit the dineck, we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Firs hit about your Southern California and Toyota dealers work hard,
Speaker 2: in play hard in a New Tacoma with an I
Speaker 2: Force turbo charge engine. It's a truck built for the bulls.
Speaker 2: He youre Toyota dealer today. They make it easy. Brad
Speaker 2: Lord on the mound for the Nationals, twenty five year
Speaker 2: old right hander, eighteenth round pick in twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: out of South Florida. In twenty oh three or twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, he had a four ERA and a ball.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, he took that jump, going ten
Speaker 2: and four the two forty three ERA with one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty five strikeouts across three levels of the minor leagues. However,
Speaker 2: his future was really unknown. He didn't know what was
Speaker 2: gonna happen with baseball, so got an off. He's in
Speaker 2: job at home depot. This past offseason, came to spring training,
Speaker 2: made a name for himself, so much so he made
Speaker 2: the Nationals Opening day roster. So far, three appearances, two
Speaker 2: total innings, two runs, three hits, two walks.
Speaker 3: He hasn't pitched more than an inning and.
Speaker 2: Out of this season, so he's slated to go between
Speaker 2: forty five to fifty pitches. Justin Robleski on the mound
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. Twenty four year old left tender. Eleventh
Speaker 2: round pick out of Oklahoma State in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: made his major league debut last season, going one to
Speaker 2: two with a five to seventy ERA in eight games
Speaker 2: six starts. He impressed during the spring this year, nine
Speaker 2: and the third innings, nine strikeouts. He made one start
Speaker 2: in Triple A Oklahoma City last week, pitched into the
Speaker 2: sixth inning in his first start five and two thirds
Speaker 2: scoreless innings of work. He allowed just three hits and
Speaker 2: struck out three in a no decision, so to Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski and Brad Lord. The pitching matchup Dodgers and Nationals.
Speaker 2: Dodgers looking to get back on track. They dropped three
Speaker 2: to four on this road trip, till nine to three
Speaker 2: overall for fifteen minutes away for first.
Speaker 3: Pitch from our nation's capital. Keys of the game are next.
Speaker 2: Tim kase is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: tack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Nationals game two of this three game series
Speaker 2: from Washington, DC. Justin Robleski called that from TRIPLEA Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2: He gets to start. Brad Lord goes for the Nationals
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at three forty five.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers with.
Speaker 2: The right hander on the mound, bringing back Max Munsey
Speaker 2: to play third base, courts Michael cornfordo in left field,
Speaker 2: a left handed hitter, show he Otani leading off. Andy
Speaker 2: Pajus back in the line of batting eighth for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers playing center field. I means Tommy Edmonds goes back
Speaker 2: to second base and Austin Barnes doing the catching for
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski as Will Smith gets a day off. All right,
Speaker 2: let's head back out to Nationals Park and check out
Speaker 2: the two guys on the call.
Speaker 3: Tim Nevertrick Monday.
Speaker 4: Tam, thanks again, We're counting you down to the first
Speaker 4: pitch here tonight in our Nation's Capital, Game two of
Speaker 4: the three game series between the Dodgers and the Nationals,
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski will make his twenty twenty five debut. He
Speaker 4: has been doing okay in Triple A, but he'll be
Speaker 4: activated for the ballgame. The Dodgers roster move Matt Sower,
Speaker 4: who pitched two innings in the last night's game, was
Speaker 4: optioned back to Oklahoma City. We saw Robluski in spring
Speaker 4: training mode pitched pretty well. It was two and zero
Speaker 4: in the spring four appearances. He had an ERA under two.
Speaker 4: And he also was the winning pitcher in Tokyo against
Speaker 4: the Yomi Yuri Giants in that exhibition game.
Speaker 5: I think one thing right now tonight, and with being
Speaker 5: a little bit on the cold side, is what does
Speaker 5: the grip feel like on the breaking ball? Because he
Speaker 5: has a good curve ball, don't rush it. And really,
Speaker 5: pitchers in tonight's ball game, at least at the get
Speaker 5: go make big turnarounds in their careers. Last year, you know,
Speaker 5: Rescie started in Double A and the Triple A and
Speaker 5: then came up six starts plus two relief appearances for
Speaker 5: the big league ball club. And on the other side
Speaker 5: of the coin too, Brad Lord's not going to be
Speaker 5: in there for a long period of time. They're thinking
Speaker 5: forty five to fifty pitches. But there was a big
Speaker 5: turnaround for him last year. Began in a bow, then
Speaker 5: with the DOUBLEA, then to Triple A, made twenty five
Speaker 5: starts and during the offseason, needing some money, he was
Speaker 5: working at home depot. I mean, he got the invitation
Speaker 5: to come to spring training and he has made the
Speaker 5: most of it.
Speaker 4: So he's turned in his orange bib for a National's
Speaker 4: uniform and he made his big league debut on the
Speaker 4: thirtieth of March against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's a great story,
Speaker 4: but Justin Robluski hasn't beaten in terms of the major
Speaker 4: league debut when he.
Speaker 7: Debuted last year.
Speaker 5: And Verbleski does not need any power tools, so he's
Speaker 5: equipped to come in tonight and do it.
Speaker 4: No, he doesn't, but if you want some plywooll you
Speaker 4: can back up to the industrial section for sure. So
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski against Brad Lord and a number of other
Speaker 4: pitchers for the Nationals, it'll be a bullpen game for them.
Speaker 4: The Dodge are going to need another pitcher for tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Landon Knack is here. I just saw him down in
Speaker 4: the clubhouse not too long ago, so expecting another roster
Speaker 4: move to get land and Knack on for tomorrow afternoons game. Meantime,
Speaker 4: we get you sent for this one. As the Dodgers
Speaker 4: trying to get back in the win column. Against the Nationals.
Speaker 2: Tim Yeah, Dodgers looking to get back on track after
Speaker 2: an eight to no starts. They've dropped three to four
Speaker 2: so far on this six game roachrip, losing two to
Speaker 2: three in Philadelphia, dropping the opener last night to the
Speaker 2: Washington Nationals. What's key Get off to an early start,
Speaker 2: score some runs early, get ahead if the pitcher is
Speaker 2: something to work with, and Justin Robleski the Dodgers playing
Speaker 2: too much catch up in game, especially late in the ballgame.
