Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four Nationally Divisional Series or Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers taking on the San Diego Padres, and the Dodgers
Speaker 2: they're down, their backs are up against the wall. They
Speaker 2: trail the Padres two games to one and this best
Speaker 2: of five NLDS. But tonight a must win game four
Speaker 2: on the road and it's a bullpen game for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers with Ryan Brasier annointed as the starter.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at six oh eight.
Speaker 2: Between then and now, we got a lot to get
Speaker 2: to here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we're gonna
Speaker 2: hear from the manager, Dave Roberts, will dive deeper into
Speaker 2: this pitching matchup. Of course, a little bit later on
Speaker 2: in the show, we got your Dodgers magical moment, your
Speaker 2: Otani rewind David Vasego's one on one with Clayton McCullough,
Speaker 2: Dodgers first base coach.
Speaker 3: Shortly we will.
Speaker 2: Check in with Kirsten Watson from sports Net LA and
Speaker 2: in just a few minutes out to the gallupin Motors
Speaker 2: Broadcast booth with Steven Nelson and Rick monday Well. Last
Speaker 2: night in San Diego, things got off to a great
Speaker 2: start for the Dodgers, with Michael King on the mound.
Speaker 2: Second batter of the game, Mookie Betts a home run
Speaker 2: to left three hundred and forty two feet just over
Speaker 2: the glove of Jerks and Profar, and the Dodgers did
Speaker 2: what they couldn't do in the first two games of
Speaker 2: the series, and that's grab an early lead. They were
Speaker 2: up one to nothing. Meanwhile, Walker Bueller on the mound
Speaker 2: a one two three bottom of the first. In the
Speaker 2: bottom of the second, though, things fell apart for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Manny Machado a single to center that led off the inning,
Speaker 2: then a wild sequence with a ball off Machado in
Speaker 2: the left field Was he out of the base line?
Speaker 3: Was he not? Shouldn't have been called? Shouldn't have been not?
Speaker 2: Well, things continued to get worse. Bogart's grounded into a
Speaker 2: fielder's choice that tied the game. David Perrault, to the
Speaker 2: former Dodger, doubled down the right field line, two runs
Speaker 2: scored and the Padres were up three to one. Then
Speaker 2: a sack fly minute and a four to one Padres lead.
Speaker 2: Still in the bottom of the second inning, Fernando to
Speaker 2: Teas Junior.
Speaker 1: The pitch tatsis.
Speaker 4: Torches won left field forget about it, off the scoreboard
Speaker 4: and then electronic scoreboard on the second deck facade. A
Speaker 4: two run tank from the top Teast Junior his fourth
Speaker 4: home run of the postseason. It's a six run eruption
Speaker 4: at Petco Park and a five run padre leaves. An
Speaker 4: absolute disaster of the second inning for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Fernando to Teas Junior with the two run home run.
Speaker 2: That's the top tier player the game. Sponsored by Arco Quality,
Speaker 2: top tier gas for less. It was a disastrous second inning,
Speaker 2: six runs on five hits. The Dodgers were down six
Speaker 2: to one.
Speaker 3: Was it over? Were they gonna throw in the white towel?
Speaker 3: Not quite yet.
Speaker 2: Michael King back in the third the Dodgers with three
Speaker 2: straight hits to load the bases.
Speaker 3: Two batters later.
Speaker 2: That brought up ta Oscar Hernandez for the breath of
Speaker 2: fresh air moment of the game.
Speaker 4: Another one too. Hernandez hits a high fly ball center field.
Speaker 4: Merrill going back, he's on the warning track at the wall.
Speaker 5: Good and grand Tioscar Hernandez fucking down the first baseline,
Speaker 5: a grand slam of.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are right back in it.
Speaker 5: Tao absolutely launched one the dead center field and it's
Speaker 5: now six to five, four hundred and three feet his
Speaker 5: first postseason home run as a Dodger.
Speaker 2: You talking about a breath of fresh air that was
Speaker 2: in a grand slam from Teoscar Hernandez brought to you
Speaker 2: Aatara Mechanical. Looking for reliable heating and air conditioning services
Speaker 2: here in southern California, look no further than your trusted partner,
Speaker 2: A Tara Mechanical, Omar and Brittany the founders.
Speaker 3: They're great people.
Speaker 2: Their service more than just a solution to breadth the
Speaker 2: fresh air. From the moment you call to the completion
Speaker 2: of your projects. Atara Mechanical delivers friendly, honest service at
Speaker 2: a fair price. Well, the Dodgers down one, six to five,
Speaker 2: plenty of offense early, not a lot of offense after that.
Speaker 2: Neither team would score the rest of the game. Zeros
Speaker 2: on the scoreboards the rest of the way as the
Speaker 2: Padres hang on and beat the Dodgers last night six
Speaker 2: to five to take a two to one series lead,
Speaker 2: and now the Dodgers find themselves in a must win situation. Tonight,
Speaker 2: a bullpen game for the Dodgers. Dylan sees back on
Speaker 2: three days rest goes for the Padres. First pitch is
Speaker 2: six ozh eight and with more we head out to
Speaker 2: the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello and
Speaker 2: welcome in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 4: Tim Katz's do or die for the Dodgers in Game
Speaker 4: four of the DS here at Petco Park, Rick Monday,
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you, and I'll probably have
Speaker 4: to wait now about the mindset in a must win game,
Speaker 4: avoiding elimination and your season coming to an end. But
Speaker 4: the biggest news that to just broke as we were
Speaker 4: getting ready to top on here was that Freddie Freeman
Speaker 4: has been scratched from the starting line up ahead of
Speaker 4: Game number four, So Max Montsey will start at first base,
Speaker 4: Key k who was slated in center, will now play third,
Speaker 4: and Chris Taylor will get to start in center field.
Speaker 6: YEP, just absolutely lovely. In fact, for Dave Roberts, a
Speaker 6: couple of hours ago, meeting with the members of the
Speaker 6: Medium in the interview room, was asked specifically about Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 6: and his quote was, okay, to give it a shot.
Speaker 6: Well that meant okay, to maybe give it a shot,
Speaker 6: see how he is going to feel. But now the
Speaker 6: last second we find out, no, he's not good enough
Speaker 6: to go.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: The difficult part, also, Stephen, is for a player and
Speaker 6: for a manager, I would imagine also is to make
Speaker 6: that determination. Am I a liability to my team if
Speaker 6: I'm actually on the field? In other words, am I
Speaker 6: limited in my range? Besides the pain? And Freddie Freeman
Speaker 6: has been you talk about a gutsy performance. He has
Speaker 6: not been pained for a in any stretch of imagination
Speaker 6: in attempting to play already in this postseason play. And
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, well, they're gonna have to buckle up, Bucky
Speaker 6: and understand exactly what's happened. I understand what has to
Speaker 6: go through the mines, because if we look back many
Speaker 6: many years ago, that nineteen eighty one team, we had
Speaker 6: to come from behind, first of all, down zero and
Speaker 6: two to the Houston Astros. Then we had to go
Speaker 6: to Montreal win each of the last two games there,
Speaker 6: and then in the World Series against the New York Yankees,
Speaker 6: we dropped the first two games of that series. So
Speaker 6: it's not a point that you're relish, it's not a
Speaker 6: point that you feel secure in. But there's one thing
Speaker 6: about it. You're out there for a reason because you
Speaker 6: wound up with the best record of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 6: They have not played like it. They didn't play like
Speaker 6: it last night, So this is an opportunity to do it.
Speaker 6: And you know it's play well or you go home
Speaker 6: and not go home to play a game. Hopefully there's
Speaker 6: a game Friday night with the Dodgers. They have it
Speaker 6: in their hands and they now have to execute.
Speaker 4: It's a steal one from Nick Costianus to the field
Speaker 4: if you Phillies, because Philly's in the same situation entering
Speaker 4: Wednesday down two games to one, face with the winner
Speaker 4: go home scenario, and Castiano's eloquently put and he's like,
Speaker 4: this is as close to death as you can get,
Speaker 4: so you should feel the most alive. And I think
Speaker 4: we are hoping to see some of that energy and
Speaker 4: that intensity and that fire from the Dodgers where they
Speaker 4: set the tone as opposed to talking about matching the
Speaker 4: Padres tone, Tim Kates, that has been too big a
Speaker 4: theme for this team throughout this series. Hey, are you
Speaker 4: matching the Padres energy? Are you matching their intensity? We
Speaker 4: have to match their intensity? Too much of that set
Speaker 4: the tone in Game four because if you don't.
Speaker 3: There won't be a Game five. There is no tomorrow.
Speaker 2: As we count you down to first pitch, Dodger fans,
Speaker 2: get your game day meal on is Shaky's Pizza parler

Speaker 2: you're Otani rewind and we'll visit with Kirsten.
Speaker 3: Watson Sports and at LA.
Speaker 2: We're leading you up to Game four the nl DS
Speaker 2: a must win for the Dodgers in San Diego first
Speaker 2: pitch is six oh eight.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kass, Los Angeles Dodgers. Audio network.
Speaker 1: Is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on Dodgers on deck y'all on
Speaker 1: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Padres, Game four of the nl DS.
Speaker 2: They must win for the Dodgers, a bullpen game with
Speaker 2: Ryan Brasier getting the start, Dylan Ceese on short rest.
Speaker 3: We'll go for the Padres. First pitches six away.
Speaker 8: This is the.
Speaker 4: Free why at Cole Park, buzzing after a sixth spot
Speaker 4: in the second for San Diego. Padres up by five
Speaker 4: here in Game three, one on, nobody out, one to one.
Speaker 4: Pitch on the way, Otani shatters his bat and a
Speaker 4: little blooper down into left center field.
Speaker 1: So the first two on for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: In the top of the third, choey Otani with the
Speaker 2: single the center of the broken bats. The second batter
Speaker 2: or the third inning, the Dodgers would load the vases
Speaker 2: than Tascar Hernandez the grand Slam to get the Dodgers
Speaker 2: back in the game, but they fall short six to five.
Speaker 2: Otani rewind Brought to you by eto In's Oocha Japan's
Speaker 2: number one greens. He and the tea that shoey Otani
Speaker 2: loves and drinks a Bila local Diso stores, Target and
Speaker 2: eto in dot Com.
Speaker 3: That's it O e N dot Com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kirston now joins us from pet Coo Park.
Speaker 2: As we get closer to first pitch, Dodgers Padres and
Speaker 2: Kirsten backs up against the wall. We got themselves a
Speaker 2: fight now, and the Dodgers need to punch their way
Speaker 2: out of it and get back to La they do.
Speaker 9: It's it's now or nothing, you know, the it's go
Speaker 9: time right now. And I think when you look at
Speaker 9: just the mindset of this team, they know that and
Speaker 9: they feel it. I was talking to Dave Roberts today,
Speaker 9: and you know, this is not the first time this
Speaker 9: team has had their backs against the wall. Yes, we
Speaker 9: know what the last two years have looked like, especially
Speaker 9: against division rivals, whether it's a specific situation like this
Speaker 9: against the Padres or last year against the Diamondbacks. But
Speaker 9: if we look at that Giant series, and yes, obviously
Speaker 9: playoffs looked a little bit different than they came out
Speaker 9: of the wild card, but they were down two to one,
Speaker 9: they came back in one in five. If you look
Speaker 9: at twenty twenty the NLCS, they were down three to one,
Speaker 9: came back in one. So they've done they can. They
Speaker 9: have this skill set and the ability to do this.
Speaker 9: Taoskar her Nama spoke with the media and he was
Speaker 9: saying that when it comes to confidence within each other,
Speaker 9: they know that they have the talent, they know they
Speaker 9: have the ability to put themselves in a situation to win,
Speaker 9: to force the game five. Everyone's mindset. Shohatani spoke to
Speaker 9: me last night. It's my focus is winning two games.
Speaker 9: That is all that's right now. It's not about what
Speaker 9: happened in the day before, it's not what happened in
Speaker 9: a few days ago. It's about right now. They need
Speaker 9: to win tonight, they need to win tomorrow. So hopefully
Speaker 9: they can do just that. You know, they don't want
Speaker 9: their season to end how it has the last two years,
Speaker 9: and so I do think there's a different fire to
Speaker 9: these guys, in a different edge, and so hopefully, you know,
Speaker 9: the bullpen can set the tone and the offense can
Speaker 9: get going early.
Speaker 2: Kirsten is brought to my cars for kids the easiest
Speaker 2: way to get rid of your old cars. Donate today
Speaker 2: your car could be picked up tomorrow. Donating now at
Speaker 2: carsfrokids dot org. That's cars with a kay you mentioned
Speaker 2: in a bullpen game, it's gonna be all hands on
Speaker 2: deck for Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's all hands on deck. It's high leverage.
Speaker 9: You know, everyone is available. Starts with Ryan Brazier, so
Speaker 9: he'll be the opener. And yes, we do have some
Speaker 9: guys who can provide some length, whether that's Landon Nack
Speaker 9: or Ben Casparius. But Dave Roberts said, you know this
Speaker 9: right now, it's it's win or go home. So who
Speaker 9: he's got the most trust in is who is gonna
Speaker 9: send out there matchups as it's gonna be very matchup driven,
Speaker 9: and if it's a plus plus situation, then we could
Speaker 9: be seeing one of those guys take down the bulk
Speaker 9: of the innings. But in order for that to happen,
Speaker 9: the offense's gotta get going to give them some meensive part.
Speaker 3: Needs to get going, and tonight is the night because
Speaker 3: there is no tomorrow. If they don't win tonight, game.
Speaker 2: Five will be on Friday. I am confident here'son this team.
Speaker 2: We'll get it done tonight. We will check in with
Speaker 2: you post game with all the reaction from the clubhouse
Speaker 2: still to come. Here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll get
Speaker 2: you a preview this pitching matchup. David vat sagoes one
Speaker 2: on one with Clayton McCullough up nexo. We'll hear from
Speaker 2: the Dodger manager himself, Dave Roberts. Dodgers Padres must win
Speaker 2: Game four of the NLDS. First pitch at six oh eight.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kason's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers game on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball Marago Casino.
Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck continues as we're leading up to first
Speaker 2: pitch from San Diego Dodgers Padres Game four the National
Speaker 2: League Divisional Series Marogo Casino Resort and Spy Grand Slam
Speaker 2: for good times. Ryan Brasier is gonna get the start
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, a bullpen game. Dylan Cees on short
Speaker 2: rest will go for the Padres. First pitch is six
Speaker 2: of eight.
Speaker 10: Questions for Dave.
Speaker 11: Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with.
Speaker 11: Dave Roberts, they with the pitching plan that you have
Speaker 11: Brazier starting today, like Land and that kind of your length, like,
Speaker 11: how do you kind of see are you deploying for
Speaker 11: the four nine innings?
Speaker 7: I think obviously, you know Ryan's gonna start, and we're
Speaker 7: gonna go with our most reliable relievers. So I I
Speaker 7: just don't know how Land is going to fit in
Speaker 7: in this particular game, but it could happen later. I'm
Speaker 7: certainly in a plus plus game, but you know, you know,
Speaker 7: at the outset, I think we're gonna go with our
Speaker 7: most reliable.
Speaker 8: Guys, Bob second row, Dave, do you anticipate the potteris
Speaker 8: treating this almost like a elimination game as well, going
Speaker 8: all out to avoid a game five in LA?
Speaker 12: I think so.
Speaker 7: I think that shows some urgency on their part. I
Speaker 7: don't know if Cease has ever gone on short rest,
Speaker 7: but obviously to and you know, in their opinion, to
Speaker 7: feel that that gives them the best chance to win
Speaker 7: tonight to then not go back to Los Angeles, and
Speaker 7: they certainly have their reasons. And yeah, I think that
Speaker 7: with that decision, they're kind of playing it as a
Speaker 7: must win as well.
Speaker 3: I'll go to Jack in the second round.
Speaker 13: Right, you guys probably aren't thinking back to past years,
Speaker 13: But do you just think the fact that you guys
Speaker 13: have been in the spot the last couple of years
Speaker 13: and haven't been able to battle back ways on them
Speaker 13: at all entering a game like this, and does it
Speaker 13: add anything to you think just the motivation levels approaching
Speaker 13: this game mentally.
Speaker 7: I think some of it, Some of that is true.
Speaker 7: I don't think they're looking back. I do think they're motivated.
Speaker 7: I don't I know they're not scared of this moment.
Speaker 7: I again, we have to play good baseball. I know
Speaker 7: they're aware of that too. It's going to be it's
Speaker 7: going to be a battle tonight.
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 7: It's going to be a battle. We're expecting it. We're
Speaker 7: not going to run from it. And so I do
Speaker 7: think that the experience that we have will allow us
Speaker 7: to kind of, you know, rise to the occasion. But
Speaker 7: we have to play good baseball.
Speaker 13: And then facing Seas for the second time, Like, there
Speaker 13: are things you guys can either adjust or just kind
Speaker 13: of be able to game plan, Like, it's one of
Speaker 13: the strengths you guys have had as a team is
Speaker 13: meaning bo Jess the guys. The more you see him like.
Speaker 7: I think it's more of Obviously, the pitcher dictates that bat.
Speaker 7: He's going to probably do if he's had success with
Speaker 7: a particular guy, run the same playbook, and if he hasn't,
Speaker 7: then he'll probably potentially deviate. So I think as a hitter,
Speaker 7: you're just going to be ready in your zone and
Speaker 7: then if there's a mistake to be had, be ready
Speaker 7: to hit it.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout, brought to
Speaker 2: you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts wins in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Bab being ready for anything. If you want your contracting
Speaker 2: business to succeed, you need to be ready to let
Speaker 2: Service Titan help you be prepared. Service Titan dot Com. Well,
Speaker 2: we continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We'll check in
Speaker 2: with v David Vasay. He leaves up to first pitch.
Speaker 2: Game four, a must win Game four the nl DS,
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Padres. I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 3: All you know where.
Speaker 1: This is ma Wrongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck on your
Speaker 1: home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Padres, Game four of the NLDS,
Speaker 2: must win.
Speaker 3: Game for the Dodgers. First pitch coming up, it's six
Speaker 3: o eight.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck. I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, d V Freddy Freeman a late scratch. What
Speaker 3: are you hearing?
Speaker 12: See?
Speaker 14: That right ankle was not responding today. If you remember,
Speaker 14: in the game last night, as the Dodgers were trying
Speaker 14: to turn to Tommy, Edmand threw a ball that.
Speaker 12: Was a little bit up.
Speaker 14: Freddie had to leap and when he came back down
Speaker 14: he almost crumbled to his feet after touching the bag.
Speaker 14: So obviously that right ankle is literally day to day.
Speaker 14: So key K a Hernandez was in the starting lineup
Speaker 14: for the Dodgers in center field, but because Freddy Freeman
Speaker 14: is a late scratch, Max Munsey goes.
Speaker 12: To first base.
Speaker 14: Key K a Hernandez will now start at third base
Speaker 14: and the Dodgers are going to have Chris Taylor start
Speaker 14: in center field. So because of the injury to Freddie
Speaker 14: Freeman in the late scratch, the Dodgers now have two
Speaker 14: of their better October performers in the starting lineup. Remember
Speaker 14: a year ago, as the Dodgers were facing elimination, Dave
Speaker 14: Roberts went to those two veterans to try to extend
Speaker 14: the series. He's trying to do it again tonight. I
Speaker 14: could tell you a lot of players and coaches are
Speaker 14: fired up that Keike Hernandez is in the starting lineup
Speaker 14: somewhere anywhere tonight.
Speaker 12: It's third base.
Speaker 3: What's the pitching plan tonight, David.
Speaker 2: We initially thought maybe Landon Knack would get the start
Speaker 2: or be a bulk inning guy, but that's not the
Speaker 2: case anymore.
Speaker 12: No, and they're starting with Ryan Brazier.
Speaker 14: I thought possibly it could be Anthony Bunda or Alex Vesia.
Speaker 14: Remember last year, Brazier was really good against lefties because
Speaker 14: of that cut fastball. This year he hasn't been as effective,
Speaker 14: but have a late it seems like he has been
Speaker 14: and the Dodgers have confidence that he'll be a good
Speaker 14: matchup to start the first inning. With two left handed
Speaker 14: hitters in the first three for the Padres lineup in
Speaker 14: Luisa Rise and Jerks and Profar, so that's the reason
Speaker 14: why Brazier's in there. But Dave Roberts said, it's not
Speaker 14: going to be a situation where they go with a
Speaker 14: bulk innings pitcher like Landon Knack. They are going to
Speaker 14: go with their best high left relievers from the very
Speaker 14: beginning of this game to the very end of this game,
Speaker 14: meaning that you're going to see Evan Phillips, You're going
Speaker 14: to see Blake Trent and Michael Kopek. Those are the
Speaker 14: guys you're going to see along with Alex Vessia to
Speaker 14: try to win this bullpen game.
Speaker 3: David is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like
Speaker 3: his choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours with the Ford F one to fifty gas
Speaker 2: hybrid all electric tough this mark can only be called
Speaker 2: F one fifty Dave will Smith, he's over the series.
Speaker 14: Oh for eight in the first three games of this
Speaker 14: NLDS And as I told you before this series started, Tim,
Speaker 14: guys like Max Muntsey and Will Smith are going to
Speaker 14: come up with men on base and they have to deliver.
Speaker 14: So far, both of them have not Will Smith oh
Speaker 14: for eight in the first three games of this series.
Speaker 14: They need Will Smith to start hitting and we'll see
Speaker 14: whether or not that happens tonight.
Speaker 12: If you know, if things continue to go this way
Speaker 12: for Will Smith.
Speaker 14: I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers started to consider
Speaker 14: Austin Barnes to catch Yamamoto in a Game five at
Speaker 14: Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: Interesting. We'll see if that happens. DV appreciate it. We'll
Speaker 2: check back you with you in just a couple of minutes.

Speaker 12: let me go back.
Speaker 6: What we're about to say was then, this is now
Speaker 6: but I think back to nineteen eighty one. We lost
Speaker 6: the first two games in Houston to the Astros, two
Speaker 6: out of three. We came back and won three in
Speaker 6: a row. The advance to the National League Championship Series,
Speaker 6: we had to go into Montreal win two in a row.
Speaker 6: We went home, we won those and then what did
Speaker 6: we do? But we went to the World Series against
Speaker 6: the Yankees, and we dropped the first two games of
Speaker 6: that series as well. But there's a lot, obviously that's
Speaker 6: on the line. The Dodgers have to play their best baseball.
Speaker 6: They had not done that. Oh, they won game one
Speaker 6: of the series, but they have not played very well
Speaker 6: of the last two games. And tonight they come in
Speaker 6: without the services of Miguel Rojas and Freddie Freeman. Originally
Speaker 6: was penciled into the lineup, but about two hours ago
Speaker 6: he was taken out of the lineup. He can't go.
Speaker 6: We don't know if he's available defense or anything else.
Speaker 6: And both of them, by the way, have given everything
Speaker 6: that they can possibly deliver in order to be on
Speaker 6: the field, even though.
Speaker 1: They were in pain while they were in there and play.
Speaker 12: But the Docgers have it in their hands.
Speaker 6: They have to stop worrying about what happens in that
Speaker 6: other dugout that has nothing to do with them. Play
Speaker 6: your own game and play with the intensity. We have
Speaker 6: not seen the intensity the last two games.
Speaker 14: Well, they got two players in the starting lineup today
Speaker 14: that know a thing or two about delivering in October.
Speaker 14: Chris Taylor's in center field, Key Ky Hernandez is at
Speaker 14: third base.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and kind of changing things around Max months he
Speaker 6: would be over at first base with the with the
Speaker 6: missing of Freddie Freeman to start this ball came off.
Speaker 6: And if we look at this series, you know, Dylan
Speaker 6: Seas did not pitch particularly well in Game one of
Speaker 6: the series. And I think one of the things that
Speaker 6: I'm going to be looking at is the slider because
Speaker 6: he did not have a good slider. And the reason
Speaker 6: I say the slider because he throws it a high
Speaker 6: percentage of time and throws it with very good success.
Speaker 6: If after Dylan cees you begin to look at what
Speaker 6: he came into this series with against the slider itself,
Speaker 6: I mean it's just a one fifty nine batting average
Speaker 6: against Well that was during the regular season. How many
Speaker 6: times have you heard me say postseason is a different
Speaker 6: animal and for the Dodgers, they need to tame the
Speaker 6: animal tonight.
Speaker 14: I talked to Dodger hitters after that first game where
Speaker 14: they did face Dylan Cease. They said, the first time
Speaker 14: they saw Cease this year, the slider was a new
Speaker 14: thing for them to actually hit against.
Speaker 12: Now that they've seen it a lot, they're not tempted
Speaker 12: to chase it. How big of an advantage is that
Speaker 12: for the Dodge it might be?
Speaker 6: But here's the cold hard facts. Last night, the Dodgers
Speaker 6: had twenty one swings and missus Max months He had
Speaker 6: nine swings.
Speaker 12: He failed to make.
Speaker 6: Contact in seven of those. The Dodgers need a take
Speaker 6: pitches that are off the plate for balls and swing
Speaker 6: at the strikes. That's right at the top of the order.
Speaker 6: And the Dodgers have to play more aggressively and more
Speaker 6: thoughtfully than what they have done in the first two games.
Speaker 6: And Andres are poised to have a celebration. The Dodgers
Speaker 6: want to have a celebration, but in order to do that,
Speaker 6: they would have to take place on Friday at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 6: That can't happen without a win tonight in San Diego.
Speaker 12: All right, Rick, thanks a lot.
Speaker 14: We look forward to Game four the NLDS with Rick
Speaker 14: and Steven Nelson coming up at six oho eight.
Speaker 12: For now, we'll send it back to Tim Kates in

Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high end tight.
Speaker 14: There is no tomorrow and the Dodgers well understand that
Speaker 14: as they get ready for Game four the NLDS. And
Speaker 14: we're joined right now by Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCulloch.
Speaker 12: Clayton, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
Speaker 14: Of course, David, I had to hold off all the
Speaker 14: Japanese media. You are a superstar in Japan these days.
Speaker 3: That's what I've heard. It become very very popular over there.
Speaker 14: I guess, huh, have you been surprised by how much
Speaker 14: attention uh Otani's success has bled to the Japanese media
Speaker 14: wanting to know every little thing about what's going on
Speaker 14: at first base.
Speaker 10: I think it was like expected it would be certainly
Speaker 10: by more media attention this year with showhy here and uh,
Speaker 10: you know, I one, I feel like I'm getting way
Speaker 10: too much credit, if any, for the type of success
Speaker 10: he's had this year. He's been phenomenal. But yeah, it's
Speaker 10: been you know, a lot of attention, and I think
Speaker 10: a little bit more as the season went along and
Speaker 10: he kept piling up you know numbers, at the rate
Speaker 10: he was he was putting them together, it.
Speaker 14: Feels like he wants to put the Dodgers on his back.
Speaker 14: And this seems to be the type of game that
Speaker 14: has Otani written all over it.
Speaker 10: I agree, I think he has. He's you know, every
Speaker 10: moment this season it feels like where something been on
Speaker 10: the line for you know him or us. He's done
Speaker 10: something remarkable and he's looked hit To me, he's looked
Speaker 10: calm in the box, he's looked great. So you know what,
Speaker 10: fully expects show Hey tonight to do something you know
Speaker 10: that only probably you know Show Hey can do.
Speaker 14: He can't do it alone. You understand that better than anybody.
Speaker 14: What do the Dodgers need to do to force a
Speaker 14: game five tonight?
Speaker 10: They would just have to keep fighting along, like we
Speaker 10: did it was. I mean, losing last night was tough.
Speaker 10: I mean Game three, you know, kind of a swing game,
Speaker 10: but for us to get down early on the road
Speaker 10: and that type of deficit, but to like claw back,
Speaker 10: you know, someone immediately and punch, get some guys on base,
Speaker 10: and then Tao, as he's done many times this year,
Speaker 10: come up with a huge hit and really make it
Speaker 10: a ballgame.
Speaker 12: Was still a lot of time left.
Speaker 10: I think showed a lot of you know, kind of
Speaker 10: what this team is made of, and a lot of fight,
Speaker 10: and you know, unfortunately we just weren't able to really
Speaker 10: get anything else going.
Speaker 3: Much after that.
Speaker 10: But fully expect this group tonight to you know, as
Speaker 10: they have a know what's ex stake, come in here
Speaker 10: ready to throw some punches and give it a fight
Speaker 10: all nine.
Speaker 14: You're in the trenches for Dave Roberts and you know
Speaker 14: better than anybody the pulse of this team. Do you
Speaker 14: feel like what you saw tonight is encouraging for what
Speaker 14: this team may do?
Speaker 10: I certainly, I think it is encourage I mean every
Speaker 10: year is different, but you know, with as much as
Speaker 10: written and talked about from the last few seasons, you know,
Speaker 10: again for us to you know, get a little get
Speaker 10: a lead yesterday to be down on the road again. Uh,
Speaker 10: and and come back and you know, make it a
Speaker 10: game there, you know, still early on with a lot left.
Speaker 10: I think just you could just sense the guys in here,
Speaker 10: like the you know, the fight again, the grit, the character,
Speaker 10: like the level of excitement was still there, like the
Speaker 10: energy was there even after that rough second inning and
Speaker 10: the show we got back into it, and I think
Speaker 10: tonight it'll be the same, will come out knowing what's
Speaker 10: at stake again. I mean, every one of these games
Speaker 10: should and is kind of like you know, do or die.
Speaker 10: This one just you know, is like we don't get
Speaker 10: it done tonight it's over, so fully expect our guys to,
Speaker 10: you know, come out swinging and ready to put up
Speaker 10: a fight.
Speaker 14: Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough is our guest, and
Speaker 14: he's so much more than just a first base coach.
Speaker 14: When you look at this lineup tonight, Keith A Hernan,
Speaker 14: I'm sure you've heard maybe some screams or yells on
Speaker 14: this bench. He has wanted an opportunity to get into
Speaker 14: this series.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 14: What is it about certain players that really shine and
Speaker 14: embrace and want these type of games.
Speaker 10: I think it's it's like one, you know, it's the
Speaker 10: ability to kind of tune out all the outside noise
Speaker 10: distractions that go along with this. And you know, Keik
Speaker 10: has proven time, you know, him taking time and time
Speaker 10: in the postseason that he uh, you know, has the
Speaker 10: ability to even you know, raise his level of concentration,
Speaker 10: his level of folks zero in and the moment's never
Speaker 10: too big for him. There's no there's no fear of
Speaker 10: you know, not getting it done. I think he goes
Speaker 10: up there and he's ultra prepared. I think that's another
Speaker 10: part about two. This guy is you know, super prepared
Speaker 10: for what's going to come his way and relishes the
Speaker 10: opportunity to go when and compete when the stakes are
Speaker 10: their highest.
Speaker 14: That's so great to hear because I feel like the
Speaker 14: perception of Keik is he's just this wild, crazy guy
Speaker 14: that just shows up there and doesn't really have the
Speaker 14: preparation behind it.
Speaker 12: No, not at all.
Speaker 3: I know our guys too.
Speaker 10: A credit our coaching staff, you know, both in the
Speaker 10: run prevention side, the offensive side, amount of time they
Speaker 10: put into this and the preparation you know, individual players
Speaker 10: and you know, you see Key K and Chris Taylor
Speaker 10: spending hours, you know, the days leading up to this series,
Speaker 10: you know, breaking things down and not only just for
Speaker 10: themselves and for opportunities that might come their way, but
Speaker 10: I think if they can find any type of nugget
Speaker 10: that would help the group. Yeah, he just shows like
Speaker 10: kind of their leadership and you know, their veteran presence.
Speaker 10: And you know for KEYK, for one, like the guy
Speaker 10: wh is going to be super prepared because he puts
Speaker 10: a lot of time into you know, studying video and
Speaker 10: you know, watching pictures. So when he gets up there,
Speaker 10: it's you know, hey, they you know, they might get
Speaker 10: him out, but it's not gonna because he's you know,
Speaker 10: caught off guard or you know, are not ready for it.
Speaker 14: He's ready. The Dodgers are ready. Clayton McCullough is ready.
Speaker 14: We'll see you on Friday at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 8: It's right.
Speaker 3: We've got to get this thing back to La David.
Speaker 12: We're going to no doubt there. He is the man.
Speaker 14: Clayton McCullough, Dodgers first base coach, one of the key
Speaker 14: members of day Dave Roberts coaching staff.
Speaker 12: We'll send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 2: year old right hander, fastball, slider, curve, sweeper fourteen and
Speaker 2: eleven during the regular season with a three forty seven
Speaker 2: ERA and thirty three starts. Dodgers have seen him twice
Speaker 2: now in the last two weeks at Dodger Stadium, both
Speaker 2: times before this, most recently Saturday Night Game one of
Speaker 2: this series, three in the third innings, five runs, six
Speaker 2: hits and a loss to The Dodgers won the game,
Speaker 2: but he had a no decision in that effort. Ryan
Speaker 2: Brazier will get the start for the Dodgers. Thirty seven
Speaker 2: year old right hander. The veteran has been around and
Speaker 2: is now second season with the Dodgers, made twenty nine appearances,
Speaker 2: four starts as an opener. He'll be the first of
Speaker 2: a long line of relievers and what is a Bullpenn
Speaker 2: game for the Dodgers. He did now allow to earn
Speaker 2: run in twenty two of his twenty nine appearances this season.
Speaker 2: He pitched them both NLDS games at Dodgers Stadium over
Speaker 2: the weekend. One and two third shutout innings on Saturday,
Speaker 2: two thirds of an inning, two runs, two hits, a
Speaker 2: home run on Sunday in the Dodgers ten to two
Speaker 2: loss to the Padres. It's a must win game. Dodgers
Speaker 2: down two games to one of his best of five series.
Speaker 2: They need to win tonight and force a Game five
Speaker 2: on Friday at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3: Ryan Brasier the opener.
Speaker 2: Dylan Cease will go for the Padres for fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: away from first pitch, keys to the game. Our next

Speaker 2: serving all Angelinos Lacare dot org. All right, before first pitch,
Speaker 2: we head back out to the booth. Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys,
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: TC, last time yapping at you before Game four? Will
Speaker 4: this be our last pregame segment of the season? Rick
Speaker 4: Monday obviously with hope the Dodgers, they still got it
Speaker 4: in front of them. They win tonight and they get
Speaker 4: a chance to play a game at home on Friday,
Speaker 4: but they got to take care of business. They're facing
Speaker 4: a starter that they faced in game one. Dylan Sees
Speaker 4: going on short rest for the first time in his career,
Speaker 4: with three days rest. They got to him in game one.
Speaker 4: I'd say that it'd be difficult to do again in
Speaker 4: a short series, but what do you say.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, in that game, in Game one,
Speaker 6: Dylan Sees did not have the good slider, and that
Speaker 6: was the biggest thing. Went three and a third and
Speaker 6: that was it gave a big home run obviously to
Speaker 6: show hey Otani. The Dodgers need to play much better, obviously,
Speaker 6: and they need to stop worrying about what's happening in
Speaker 6: that other dugout Andreas are having fun because I tell
Speaker 6: you what, they've gotten it of the Mines, at least
Speaker 6: from what we've seen of the Dodgers. Forget what's on
Speaker 6: that side. You have your own backyard to worry about.
Speaker 6: I think there was a comment made early this afternoon
Speaker 6: for me, really sums it up as far as the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: They are surrounded by urgency and no truer words have
Speaker 6: been spoken. Now it's in their hands. They have to
Speaker 6: swing the bat better than last night. They had twenty
Speaker 6: one swings and missus in last night's ball game. That's
Speaker 6: got to turn around and do it in a hurry.
Speaker 6: They got Dylan Cees out of the game after just
Speaker 6: three and a third. They got six hits off of them.
Speaker 6: Two of them came from Freddy Freeman and Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 6: After those two singles to start in Game one against Seas,
Speaker 6: he was one for nine since obviously hobbled by the
Speaker 6: right ankle, so much so that the Dodgers have scratched
Speaker 6: him ahead of this all important winner go home Game
Speaker 6: four at Petco Park. On the other side, from the
Speaker 6: pitching standpoint, it'll be Dylan Sees who's their ace to
Speaker 6: the staff for the Dodgers, It's going to be a
Speaker 6: bullpen game and not just Oh an opener to start
Speaker 6: and then landon Nack. From the sound of a Dave
Speaker 6: Roberts pregame discussion with the media, Nack's not coming in
Speaker 6: unless this game's a blowout.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a traditional bullpen game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, traditional, and Roberts said, he's going to go with
Speaker 6: the guys that have gotten to him here, and that
Speaker 6: means the strongest part of the bullpen is going to
Speaker 6: carry the heaviest part of the load.
Speaker 4: The same is true tonight as it's was for the
Speaker 4: Dodgers going into this postseason. They're going to have to hit,
Speaker 4: and in Loui Freddie Freeman. They're looking to two veterans
Speaker 4: getting a start for the very first time who have
Speaker 4: had big clutch knocks in the postseason before. That'll be
Speaker 4: Keike Hernandez, who's now at third base betting eighth, and
Speaker 4: Chris Taylor, who's in center field, batting ninth. Can those
Speaker 4: two set the table for old Tani and Betts and
Speaker 4: taoscar at the top. That is the game plan for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers in Game four. It's simple, win, We're go home.
Speaker 3: It's that simple.
Speaker 2: Dodgers need to take care of business over the next
Speaker 2: nine innings, get a win, get back to Dodger Stadium
Speaker 2: for a deciding Game five on Friday nights. Keep in
Speaker 2: mind the Dodgers early struggles. They need to avoid an
Speaker 2: early letdown. Twelve run scored by the Padres in the
Speaker 2: first two innings of this series in the first three
Speaker 2: games between the Dodgers and pore so they need to
Speaker 2: keep the Padres off the scoreboard early. Meanwhile, they need
Speaker 2: to get on the scoreboard early, jump out to that
Speaker 2: lead like they did last night. I thinks to Mookie
Speaker 2: Benz's home run in the first inning. Again, no Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 2: as Nelly mentioned, No Freddie Freeman. He is not in
Speaker 2: the lineup, Max Mont. He moves over to play first base.
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor's in center field. You got Keiky Hernandez playing
Speaker 2: third base tonight, so the lineup has changed a little.
Speaker 2: Hopefully that'll spark the offense and get it going. First
Speaker 2: pitch is next. Are you ready, Dodger fans? Here we
Speaker 2: go Dodgers Padres Game four. The NLD as his next
Speaker 2: enjoy it. I'm Tim Kase has been Moroco Casino Dodgers
