Speaker 2: Tam Case, Hello everybody, and good afternoon. Welcome in to
Speaker 2: Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Hope you're well on this
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon. Your Los Angeles Dodgers seventy seven and fifty
Speaker 2: three on the season, first place atop the NL West
Speaker 2: after a walk off, dramatic win on Friday night to
Speaker 2: start the series. The Dodgers fell in extra innings last night.
Speaker 2: Today they go for the series win over the Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay Rays. Gavin Stone on the mound, first pitch from
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium coming up at one ten. Between now and then,
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to here on Marongo
Speaker 2: Casino Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear from the manager,
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts. We'll get you the latest injury update, including
Speaker 2: a conversation with Tony Gonsolin, who threw today.
Speaker 3: The cat Man.
Speaker 2: Could he be on the prowl here in the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four season. We'll find out more from Tony Gonsolin.
Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll dive deeper into today's pitching matchup with
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone on the mound. We got your Dodgers magical
Speaker 2: moment going back to twenty twenty and what a magical
Speaker 2: year that was for the Dodgers. Shortly, we'll check in
Speaker 2: with Kirsten Watson and at just a few minutes we'll
Speaker 2: head out to the Galpamotors broadcast booth and check in
Speaker 2: with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. Well, last night, it
Speaker 2: wasn't a great start for Clayton Kershaw before he buckled
Speaker 2: in for five innings for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: He gave up four in the first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a fourth spot from the Tampa Bay Rays as
Speaker 2: they jumped out to the early league Clayton Kershaw, we'd
Speaker 2: have going five, give up five runs on nine hits,
Speaker 2: strikeout five along the way while throwing eighty eight pitches.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers down four to nothing before they started to
Speaker 2: chip away. In the bottom half of the fourth. Mookie
Speaker 2: Betts got it going with an RBI double. Dodgers on
Speaker 2: the board down four to one, and then Taoscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: made it even closer.
Speaker 4: Got their first run thanks two bets the RBI double.
Speaker 4: So what's four to one is ta Oscar Hernandez steps
Speaker 4: in the first pitch, Hernandez drives the.
Speaker 3: Ball left center field, way back, way up and out
Speaker 3: tail leaves the yard.
Speaker 4: And the Dodgers are now within one. That's number twenty
Speaker 4: seven for te Oscar herd end Is.
Speaker 3: RBI is number eighty two and eighty three, and.
Speaker 5: Now the scoreboard reach four to two.
Speaker 2: Three Dodgers with three runs in the bottom of the
Speaker 2: fourth get right back in it. Down one run, it's
Speaker 2: a four to three game. The Rays would get one
Speaker 2: of those back in the top half of the fifth,
Speaker 2: taking a five to three lead, but the bottom of
Speaker 2: the fifth belonged to the Dodgers. Miguel Rojas an RBI
Speaker 2: single that made it a one run game, again a
Speaker 2: five to four Rays lead. Then show hey o Tany
Speaker 2: with a two run home run. He makes it a
Speaker 2: six ' five Dodgers lead. In the seventh, Dodgers tacked
Speaker 2: on another one thanks to another home run.
Speaker 4: Here's Miguel Rojas bases empty, one out in the seventh.
Speaker 4: Oh Rojas torches one left field one.
Speaker 6: It is fare right out of here.
Speaker 5: Well, Rick Monday, we asked for sonsurrits. Miguel Rojas wasted
Speaker 5: no time against Joe Coonell, providing so his fourth home
Speaker 5: run of the season, it's now seven five Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Dodgers come all the way back to take a two
Speaker 2: run lead, up seven to five going into the eighth inning,
Speaker 2: but that's when things fell apart for the Dodgers' bullpen.
Speaker 2: Michael Kopek gives up a run. Evan Phillips gives up
Speaker 2: a run in the ninth inning as the game was
Speaker 2: tied at seven going to extra innings in the tenth
Speaker 2: inning to two runs. A home run for the Rays
Speaker 2: gave them a nine to seven lead. Mookie bets sack
Speaker 2: fly in the bottom of the tenth made it a
Speaker 2: nine to eight game, but unfortunately that's as close as
Speaker 2: the Dodgers would get. They come all the way back
Speaker 2: just to lose in ten innings. Nine to eight is
Speaker 2: the final as Joe Kelly gets tagged with the loss
Speaker 2: and no decision for Clayton Kershaw, who went the five
Speaker 2: innings five runs, nine hits, five strikeouts as the Dodgers
Speaker 2: with the loss, now seventy seven and fifty three overall
Speaker 2: on this season. They look to get back on track
Speaker 2: tonight today against the Tampa Bay Rays and the finale
Speaker 2: of this three game series. Cavin Stone on the mound
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at one ten. Dodgers Baseball brought
Speaker 2: to you by Arco, Top quality, top tier gas for less.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the top tier, to the top guys out there,
Speaker 2: Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 4: Good morning to you, Tim Eppy Sunday to you and
Speaker 4: everybody hanging out with us during the pregame festivities at
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium. Jam packed stadium already because it's Kobe Bryant
Speaker 4: jersey giveaway day and it's also the day of a
Speaker 4: rubber match between the Dodgers and Rays in this series finale,
Speaker 4: Rick Monday and well, last night the Dodgers snatched defeat
Speaker 4: from the jaws of victory.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the Dodgers did not really play a good baseball,
Speaker 7: not to where they can really sustain, you know, the
Speaker 7: best record in Major League Baseballs. They came into last
Speaker 7: night's game, made a couple of airs. They were costly
Speaker 7: and a tough ginning for Clayton Kershaw and the very
Speaker 7: first inning four runs on four hits. He also walked
Speaker 7: a batter there was an air did not help him either,
Speaker 7: and a wild pitch on top of it. So for Kershaw,
Speaker 7: he settled things down after that opening inning, but then
Speaker 7: the bullpen could not hold on to it.
Speaker 8: And especially you look at the Rays.
Speaker 7: They scored a run in the eighth, they scored a
Speaker 7: run in the night, and then they came up with
Speaker 7: two big runs in the tenth. As Joe Kelly wound
Speaker 7: up with the loss, Evan Phillips had blown save with
Speaker 7: a big home run.
Speaker 4: Well, they say, if you have a bad start, hey,
Speaker 4: it's not how you start, it's how you finished well.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers didn't start well and they didn't finish well,
Speaker 4: but they still have a chance to take this series.
Speaker 4: And most unfortunate part of last night was when you
Speaker 4: lose a game like that, then you look at the
Speaker 4: out of town scoreboard and see the Diamondbacks won again,
Speaker 4: and so now your division lead down to three. So
Speaker 4: what are you looking forward to today? It's a different
Speaker 4: lineup for the Dodgers. Will Smith, we'll start on the bench,
Speaker 4: Miguel Rojas on the bench, Gavin Lucks on the bench.
Speaker 4: That means we'll see Hunter Producia with his first major
Speaker 4: league start.
Speaker 7: And really looking forward to that. We saw Fedusia in
Speaker 7: spring trending. He was impressive at that time. The other part, too,
Speaker 7: is we will see Chris Taylor start at second base,
Speaker 7: his first start since coming off the engine list. That's
Speaker 7: going to be something to watch. Kicky hear Nanez will
Speaker 7: patrol center field. On top of that, Edmond, as you
Speaker 7: mentioned with Rojas down, he'll be at the short stop position.
Speaker 7: They're really looking at Fiducia because you know you're looking ahead.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers really have a good catching, no question about it.
Speaker 7: Austin Barnes on the engine list right now with the
Speaker 7: fractured big toe, and it gives an off date to
Speaker 7: Will Smith and you've got the off date tomorrow technically
Speaker 7: before they pick it up on Tuesday again as the
Speaker 7: Orioles are coming to town. So you hat a little
Speaker 7: different lineup in today's game. And they had to shuffle
Speaker 7: the lineup around because they're facing a different picture than
Speaker 7: they thought was going to be scheduled because of an injury.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Shane Bose was the slated starter, but he's been
Speaker 4: battling flu like symptoms over the weekend at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 4: so he's going to be He's expected to be the
Speaker 4: bulk pitcher today. Jacob Lopez, a lefty, was recalled this
Speaker 4: morning by the Rays. He just threw eighty pitches in
Speaker 4: TRIPLEA on Wednesday, so I don't think they're expecting a
Speaker 4: ton of link out of Lopez. Just the classic Rays opener,
Speaker 4: especially with the two lefties in the top three for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, Otani and Freeman. Gavin Stone will have the ball.
Speaker 4: We'll talk more about him next.
Speaker 3: Time we chat with you.
Speaker 8: TC.

Speaker 2: little ribbys and home run number forty one on this season,

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 2: Kirson now joins US before this series finale with Hunter
Speaker 2: for Dousha Behind the play today, Keirson getting his first start.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's getting his first start, and honestly, it feels
Speaker 9: like his major league debut because his actual major league
Speaker 9: debut was a pinch hit, and I just feel like,
Speaker 9: you know, that's of course special, but to get your
Speaker 9: first career start here at Dodgers Stadium catching for the
Speaker 9: Los Angeles Dodgers, I have to imagine this is going
Speaker 9: to be a very very special day for him. He's
Speaker 9: been around this team quite a bit, whether it's been
Speaker 9: since he's been activated with the team or even he
Speaker 9: went to South Korea to start the season with the
Speaker 9: group and also just with spring training, so he has
Speaker 9: some really good relationships with these guys. He's gonna be
Speaker 9: catching for Gavin Stone today. Dave Roberts feels like that's
Speaker 9: a very comfortable relationship and dynamic just for them. He said,
Speaker 9: because he is from the South, shout out to the South.
Speaker 9: I'm from there too, buddy. He was like, he's had
Speaker 9: a slow heartbeat and a really just good on his shoulders.
Speaker 9: So he does believe that this is going to be
Speaker 9: a fun one for Hunter, and he's very much prepared
Speaker 9: for it. And he actually had a spectacular spring training,
Speaker 9: so we've seen a lot of him just preparing for
Speaker 9: this year. So it should be a fun one getting
Speaker 9: to see him have his first career start.
Speaker 3: Looking at the rest of the lineup. C T three
Speaker 3: getting a start, yeap.
Speaker 9: Chris Taylor's in there. He's feeling really good since his return.
Speaker 9: He was telling me recently that he was making a
Speaker 9: couple of adjustments. He's someone who's constantly kind of tweaking
Speaker 9: his swing. That he does have a very high maintenance swing,
Speaker 9: as he would describe it. But he said that before
Speaker 9: going on the il, like I felt like he was
Speaker 9: moving in the right direction but slowly kind of falling off.
Speaker 9: And so for him to have that time on the
Speaker 9: IL to get back on track. He's pretty much down
Speaker 9: for about four weeks, so he does feel that he's
Speaker 9: in a really good spot just heading into this return
Speaker 9: now and so hopefully he can get things going. And
Speaker 9: Dave today was just saying like, that's all he wants
Speaker 9: to see. It's just good at bats from him. Obviously,
Speaker 9: we know we can kind of play all over the field,
Speaker 9: but if he can get some really quality at bats,
Speaker 9: that is what's going to show him that all that
Speaker 9: time on the IL and just all that hard work
Speaker 9: is really paying off for.
Speaker 2: This Dodgers team. It feels like it's an important game
Speaker 2: and they all are now there. In fact, they have
Speaker 2: a race and the Dimonbacks and Padres behind them. But
Speaker 2: you want to win this series against Tampa.
Speaker 9: You want to win this series, and I think last
Speaker 9: night was they fought back to get into this one.
Speaker 9: Obviously they fell short at the end, but you're seeing
Speaker 9: a lot of fight in this group as of late,
Speaker 9: and they are as much as you know, the guys
Speaker 9: are necessarily work looking at the division standings every single day.
Speaker 9: They are very aware that all of these games moving
Speaker 9: forward are very meaningful and they also think that you know,
Speaker 9: that could have a lot of that could be good
Speaker 9: for them. You know, they're not blowing out the division
Speaker 9: like they have the last couple of years, so it
Speaker 9: is going to be each game is a battle, and
Speaker 9: so they do recognize that due to what the division
Speaker 9: looks like right now, due to kind of how well
Speaker 9: they've been playing as of late, these are important games
Speaker 9: because they want to keep it going and keep that momentum.
Speaker 2: Kirsten, we appreciate it. Hopefully the Dodgers can get this
Speaker 2: series win today. We will check in with you after

Speaker 2: progressing with that strained rotator cuff. He's in the head
Speaker 2: out to Oklahoma City and do a rehab start coming
Speaker 2: up on Wednesday of this week, and then go from
Speaker 2: there to see how he feels. All right, let's head
Speaker 2: back outen out of Dodgers Stadium and check out with
Speaker 2: the Dodgers.
Speaker 10: Gobber Da questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 8: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: I'm excited it's going to be Obviously it's a thrill
Speaker 11: for him. I like the way that he's caught. Gavin
Speaker 11: a Ton knows him. There's familiarity there, and also I
Speaker 11: just feel that given will and off day day game
Speaker 11: after night game makes sense.
Speaker 8: So I'm excited to see what Hunter can do.
Speaker 9: He had a really strong spring training. What did you
Speaker 9: learn about him? Then that's prepare him.
Speaker 6: For this year.
Speaker 11: I think the thing with Hunter is he's from the South.
Speaker 11: It's a slow brain, heartbeat, so in the box he's
Speaker 11: very calm.
Speaker 8: I don't think this moment is going to be.
Speaker 11: Too big for him, and the guys like him, so
Speaker 11: I think that for me, it's somebody I trust. He's
Speaker 11: been in the organization a long time, understands what we
Speaker 11: do as an organization. As a pitching staff. Like I said,
Speaker 11: I feel good about the battery today.
Speaker 9: We think it's to talk about it yesterday, but show
Speaker 9: Hey Otani threw off the mound for the first time
Speaker 9: and just his sense having surgery. How big of a
Speaker 9: step is that and how encouraging is that just for him.
Speaker 9: I know we talked about it, not necessarily for this year,
Speaker 9: but looking ahead.
Speaker 8: To next year, it's a big step for show Hey.
Speaker 11: I think for the confidence to be able to get
Speaker 11: off the mound to throw some different pitches.
Speaker 8: The rehab has been great.
Speaker 11: He's putting in a lot of hard work that the
Speaker 11: staff has put in a lot of hard work. And yeah,
Speaker 11: like you said that, I don't think it really impacts
Speaker 11: this year, but it's still continuing to build a foundational
Speaker 11: for him for twenty five.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Dave Roberts down to the dugout talking
Speaker 2: about hundred FADUSA and of course Sho Yotani throwing a
Speaker 2: bullpoon session yesterday at the stadium. David Roberts down the dugout,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a

Speaker 2: leading up to first pitch on the Sunday Dodgers and Rays.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season.
Speaker 2: Law Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays. Gavin Stone, Jacob Lopez.
Speaker 2: The pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at one ten.
Speaker 2: The umpiring crew for today's game, brought to you by
Speaker 2: Fred Loyer Insurance, celebrating fifty years of providing reliable and
Speaker 2: affordable car insurance for you and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 6: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, DV Show, Hey Otani. We know what he
Speaker 2: could do at the plate, we know what he could
Speaker 2: do on the mound. We know he's her budd. He
Speaker 2: threw a bullpen session yesterday could could we see him
Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 12: I know it was exciting to see Otani the day
Speaker 12: after he achieved the forty forty plateau, but he is
Speaker 12: not going to pitch this season. They are going to
Speaker 12: take it slow with Otani, and yesterday was just a
Speaker 12: significant marker that every pitcher goes through when they're coming
Speaker 12: back from elbow surgery. And doctor Neil Elatrosh was here
Speaker 12: to watch Tony Gonsolin and I checked in with him
Speaker 12: and he said, we are taking the prudent route here
Speaker 12: and not allowing Otani to come back to pitch in
Speaker 12: a postseason game. They want him healthy next year. But
Speaker 12: what took place yesterday was significant because things aren't coming
Speaker 12: along really well. He threw ten pitches, but the catcher
Speaker 12: in the Dodger bullpen was not down. He was actually
Speaker 12: standing up when Otani threw ten pitches off the mound.
Speaker 12: So it's just on full display for everybody to see it.
Speaker 12: But these are the normal progressions to be able to
Speaker 12: come back after elbow surgery. Fourteen to sixteen months after.
Speaker 3: Hunter Fiducia gets his first start behind the plate today, David.
Speaker 12: Yeah, not his major league debut, because remember he was
Speaker 12: called up for a period of time when Freddie Freeman
Speaker 12: was away from the team in San Diego, and Hunter
Speaker 12: Fiducia will get his first ever major league start behind
Speaker 12: the plate, and he's catching a pitcher he's very familiar with,
Speaker 12: and that is one of his minor league teammates, the
Speaker 12: great Gavin Stone.
Speaker 6: And here's what Hunter.
Speaker 12: Fiduccia told us a couple of days ago about Gavin
Speaker 12: stone season right now.
Speaker 10: It's it's very impressive.
Speaker 13: You know, I think he was two drafts after me,
Speaker 13: and you know, he started off in I think Hya
Speaker 13: when I was in Double A, So you know, he
Speaker 13: came through, he progressed, you know, learned a new pitch
Speaker 13: and just kind of took off from that. So it's
Speaker 13: it's awesome to see him, you know, throwing well in
Speaker 13: the big leagues, you know, and everything.
Speaker 10: It's it's been called what.
Speaker 12: Makes him so special because it seems like this spring
Speaker 12: training he came back a new guy.
Speaker 6: Did you see that as well?
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 13: You know, I don't know what he did during the offseason,
Speaker 13: but you know, it seemed like his velo staying. He's
Speaker 13: way more confident on the mound. You know, he has
Speaker 13: his change up. I noticed his slider. They might have
Speaker 13: tweaked some few things with his slider. Slider looks a
Speaker 13: lot better this year. And you know he's moving the
Speaker 13: ball now all over the plate. He has the sinker now,
Speaker 13: so he has a few more options in a year
Speaker 13: or two ago. So yeah, he's doing well and proud
Speaker 13: of him.
Speaker 12: Yeah, should be fun to watch Hunter Fiducca and Gavin
Speaker 12: Stone be the battery and trying to win this series
Speaker 12: against the race. And how about this tim Where would
Speaker 12: the Dodgers be without Gavin Stone. With the very highlighted
Speaker 12: trade and extension of Tyler Glass. Now with a huge
Speaker 12: signing of Yoshi Yamamoto investing close to four hundred million
Speaker 12: dollars for this Japanese right hander, neither one has pitched
Speaker 12: as much as Gavin Stone has this season. Gavin Stone
Speaker 12: leads the Dodgers with twenty three starts. He has more
Speaker 12: wins than any other Dodgers starter. And this was the
Speaker 12: guy that wasn't even in the rotation plants in spring training.
Speaker 12: It was only because of Emadchan's injury that Gavin Stone
Speaker 12: got the opportunity.
Speaker 6: So certainly the.
Speaker 12: Dodgers are very fortunate to have Gavin Stone in their
Speaker 12: organizations and.
Speaker 3: No doubt going for win number twelve on this season.
Speaker 2: Thank you, David. Check back in with you, Davis. Driven
Speaker 2: by four. There's one thing we like, its choices. Find
Speaker 2: yours at the fort f one to fifty gas hybrid
Speaker 2: or all electric. Toughest mark can only be called the
Speaker 2: f one fifty. Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear from Tony Gonsolin speaking a guy coming
Speaker 2: back from an arm injury, the Catman through today. David
Speaker 2: had eyes on him and then talk to him, so
Speaker 2: we'll see what the Catman has to say about his progression.
Speaker 3: We're coming from Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 2: We'll also dive deeper to this pitching matchup, but up
Speaker 2: next to a Dodgers magical moment you do not want
Speaker 2: to miss.

Speaker 2: and that allowed only two He had only had two
Speaker 2: hits for throwing seventy three pitches in five and a
Speaker 2: third innings. They go to the bullpen. The Dodgers scored

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Bassey, here's LA Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 12: Well, there is still a lot of buzz around Major
Speaker 12: League Baseball about show Heo Tani's walkoff Grand Slam on
Speaker 12: Friday night, Rick, and there are more and more kind
Speaker 12: of interesting facts on how it relates to Dodger history
Speaker 12: and baseball history.
Speaker 7: And I got some interesting numbers that were sent to me,
Speaker 7: and it came on the heels of obviously the walk
Speaker 7: off Grand Slam Biotani with two outs in the ninth innings.
Speaker 7: You start to look at history, and we talk a
Speaker 7: lot about baseball history, and certainly Dodger history in this
Speaker 7: segment throughout the season. First of all, you're looking at
Speaker 7: home runs at Dodger Stadium. As far as the Dodgers concerned,
Speaker 7: it was home run number four, three hundred and forty.
Speaker 7: We lose sight about the factors that how many games
Speaker 7: have been played here, how many home runs have been
Speaker 7: hit here, So it's actually kind of neat. It was
Speaker 7: also just the fifth two out grand Slam walk off
Speaker 7: home run that the Dodgers hit in their entire existence
Speaker 7: in playing games here at Dodger Stadium. All of those,
Speaker 7: by the way, were in tie ball games. Now we
Speaker 7: go a little bit deeper, and I know I brought
Speaker 7: this name up to you a little bit earlier. Former
Speaker 7: teammate of mine, Davy Lopes. Lopes is the only LA
Speaker 7: Dodger to have two walk off Grand slams here at
Speaker 7: Dodger Stadium. Both of those also were worth two outs,
Speaker 7: and one of those was in the ninth inning in
Speaker 7: a walk off scenario. So if you look at things
Speaker 7: also with show heyo Tani seventeen career ninth inning home
Speaker 7: runs that he's been able to have. Here's the other
Speaker 7: thing that's interesting, show hey Otani has hit three Grand
Speaker 7: Slam home runs, all three of them been against the Rays.
Speaker 12: It feels like he is the Ray's daddy because he
Speaker 12: also hit his only cycle against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 12: So there must be I guess, Rick, is it coincidence
Speaker 12: when a player does well against one particular team.
Speaker 7: Probably, And I think that, you know, going back and
Speaker 7: looking at some numbers, you know, researching some numbers too.
Speaker 7: There are some teams that I had difficulty with, and
Speaker 7: I start to analyze, well, what was the type of
Speaker 7: pitching staff that they had. I did fairly well against
Speaker 7: the Philadelphia Phillies. Not that it was an easy staff.
Speaker 7: They had guys who looked like an NBA team, I
Speaker 7: mean really, but they were fastball hitters, and I was
Speaker 7: as most hitters are better fastball hitters than breaking ball hitters.
Speaker 8: So I think that was one of the reasons.
Speaker 7: Is that the case with the Rays over the years,
Speaker 7: did they have a certain particular thought process or particular
Speaker 7: arms with redundancy that makes itself avails itself to maybe
Speaker 7: hitting more home runs, having more success by one hitter
Speaker 7: versus another hitter.
Speaker 12: Can you go back and give it to us again,
Speaker 12: how many home runs have been hit here at Dodger Stadium?
Speaker 12: Because I feel like we all have to digest that
Speaker 12: a little bit more.
Speaker 7: Well, in Los Angeles Dodgers' regular season history, regular season
Speaker 7: history and fifteen now at home, four thousand, six hundred
Speaker 7: and eighty seven had been hit here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7: So it's a it's a lot of high fives and
Speaker 7: home plate although majority of those were hit even before
Speaker 7: the high fives came into being.
Speaker 12: Well, Rick Monday got thirty nine high fives because that's
Speaker 12: how many home runs Rick Monday hit at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 12: in his career.
Speaker 7: Oh, you did some research, that's right, Ratchiez. You're not
Speaker 7: just always sitting in that second row. Eaton bonbes.
Speaker 12: I'm trying to shine a light on a guy that
Speaker 12: doesn't shine a light on himself. But like you said,
Speaker 12: Dodger Stadium is the third oldest ballpark.
Speaker 6: Yeah, major League you No.
Speaker 7: No, we travel around and I mean it's one of
Speaker 7: those things. This isn't because we do the Dodger broadcast
Speaker 7: and is it because I wore a Dodge uniform very proudly.
Speaker 7: It isn't because I'm a local guy who grew up
Speaker 7: in Santa Monica. This place has always been a cathedral
Speaker 7: of baseball. I mean, and you look at it, the
Speaker 7: third oldest, David. We visit some other other stadiums that
Speaker 7: are a lot younger than this one, and they can't
Speaker 7: they can't hold candles. I mean, with the improvements that
Speaker 7: they've done. I mean all the outfield areas too. I mean,
Speaker 7: that's that's why we say, hey, look, get here early,
Speaker 7: because there are things to do in this stadium.
Speaker 12: Hey, before we back out, speaking of the renovations, those
Speaker 12: home run seats came into play on Otani's Grand Slam.
Speaker 12: Two fans clanked it and went back into the field
Speaker 12: of play and Jose Siri threw it back into the
Speaker 12: stadium instead of holding onto it for Otani.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and when Siri went to see it, everybody was yelling, hey, Siri.
Speaker 7: And how many phones went off? First night he was
Speaker 7: announced in the in Stephen the Nelson announced his name,
Speaker 7: I said, oh, there goes my phone.
Speaker 12: Hey, sirih Hey Monday, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 6: On a Sunday Hey, Vassa, nice to see you.

Speaker 12: surprise to come out to Dodger Stadium and see the
Speaker 12: catman Tony Gonsolin, not only see him, talk to him
Speaker 12: and see him pitch off the mound here at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 12: and he joins us right now, you're alive, nine lives.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's been a while since the since of all
Speaker 15: just fans have seen me, but it's great to be
Speaker 15: back in this atmosphere, and it's incredible thrown on a
Speaker 15: game mound. I don't know why I'd throw a bullpen
Speaker 15: out there, but I'll take it.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 10: It was awesome being back.
Speaker 12: I've heard so many guys say that coming back from rehab,
Speaker 12: where it's just something different about doing it on that mound.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's just a completely different feel. You know, you
Speaker 15: get so used to being, you know, in the bullpen,
Speaker 15: throwing bullpens out there, and I've been so used to
Speaker 15: throwing bullpens in Arizona or throwing a couple lives now
Speaker 15: on the game mounds, and it's just nothing compares to
Speaker 15: what it's like to throwing on the game mound at
Speaker 15: Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 12: To be a camelback ranch in the middle of summer
Speaker 12: for basically a whole year, that's gotta be a mental
Speaker 12: toll on you.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, it's hot.
Speaker 15: You get a you know, I wouldn't say you get
Speaker 15: used to it, but you just kind of get over it.
Speaker 15: You know it's gonna be hot. You know it's gonna
Speaker 15: be hot, and you just gotta drink more water and
Speaker 15: figure out a way to manage.
Speaker 6: And maybe pitch at seven.
Speaker 8: In the morning.
Speaker 15: Oh, I wish it was that early. It's still hot
Speaker 15: at seven in the morning.
Speaker 10: It doesn't even matter.
Speaker 15: But uh yeah, just try to avoid the early afternoon,
Speaker 15: mid afternoon direct heat and it's a It's okay.
Speaker 12: Not only was Tony Gonsolin pitching off the mount here
Speaker 12: at Dodger Stadium, but man, you had quite a crowd
Speaker 12: watching you, including the man that operated on your elbow,
Speaker 12: doctor Ela Trosh. That means it was big time showtime.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I think that's I mean, that's definitely the
Speaker 15: first time I will tried to see me throw that close.
Speaker 15: But it was cool having him out there and having
Speaker 15: a little conversation with him after about what it looked like,
Speaker 15: what you saw and you know, what we're talking about,
Speaker 15: and how the how the repair plays into the pitches
Speaker 15: and all that stuff.
Speaker 12: It was it was really cool to learn all that
Speaker 12: I've heard. He's more than a surgeon. He actually cares
Speaker 12: about his patience.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I definitely agree.
Speaker 15: You know that the times I get to talk to him,
Speaker 15: you know, being stuck in AZ But the times I
Speaker 15: do get to talk to him, they've been really good
Speaker 15: conversations and very informative on both sides.
Speaker 12: I'd said Tony gonsoln is our guest. It's great to
Speaker 12: see him. I was on the phone when you came
Speaker 12: up to me. Man, it was really great to see
Speaker 12: that beer, great to see that ponytail, and honestly to
Speaker 12: see you pitch. How is the process going? And you're
Speaker 12: at that one year mark, so we're getting closer.
Speaker 15: Yeah, about about a week away from that one one
Speaker 15: year mark, and uh, definitely getting closer. Throwing three lives
Speaker 15: now they've been they've gone pretty good. Command isn't quite
Speaker 15: where I want it to be yet, although today it
Speaker 15: was it was pretty good.
Speaker 10: Maybe it's something about being back on that now, but
Speaker 10: uh yeah.
Speaker 15: Overall, just just working with the progress, you know, trying
Speaker 15: to uh take things as they come and manage everything,
Speaker 15: manage workload, ad manage you know, straining on the arm
Speaker 15: and being cognizant about all of that and just taking
Speaker 15: my time with it.
Speaker 12: How much have you been following the team? What is
Speaker 12: it like being removed from the team but obviously a
Speaker 12: part of the organization.
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, I mean we play.
Speaker 15: We play every day, right, so I usually have the
Speaker 15: game on, fortunate enough to have those those afternoons as
Speaker 15: evenings off and basically have the game on any time I.
Speaker 10: Can, so basically every day.
Speaker 15: Uh, wether I'm directly watching on a TV or I
Speaker 15: got up on my iPad, it's it's on and I know,
Speaker 15: I know kind of what's happening.
Speaker 6: How about Gavin Stone? Have you been watching his season?
Speaker 12: What a remarkable season for a guy that wasn't even
Speaker 12: supposed to make the team out of spring training.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I love watching Stone pitch. He's very similar
Speaker 15: to myself, I like to think, but just fastball, change up,
Speaker 15: you know, it's got his slider now, is discussing and
Speaker 15: working that cutter into just he's looking really good. And
Speaker 15: I like the the development who's had over the course
Speaker 15: of the year. You know, a rough couple first starts,
Speaker 15: and then really settled in and had a nice stretch
Speaker 15: of some really really good ones and then I've been
Speaker 15: a little shaky late, but he's gonna bounce back.
Speaker 6: How about Kershaw?
Speaker 12: Did you have a chance to see him in Arizona
Speaker 12: during your rehab process?
Speaker 10: Saw Kersh a little bit. He looks good. He looks healthy. Man,
Speaker 10: It's really fun.
Speaker 15: I'd really took it in yesterday and you know, never
Speaker 15: know what's gonna happen. But love watching him pitch every
Speaker 15: time and just the way that he competes.
Speaker 12: Before I let you go, I can't be insensitive to
Speaker 12: the fact your partner in crime, one of your former roommates,
Speaker 12: Dustin May, had an unfortunate accident with his esophagus. Have
Speaker 12: you had a chance to talk to him. What can
Speaker 12: you share with us about how he's doing.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he's looking good. I can't share it too much,
Speaker 15: but he's looking good. Yuh, you know, super unfortunate, lost
Speaker 15: a lot away from it, and you know he's just
Speaker 15: making his way back now.
Speaker 10: But yeah, just let him do his thing.
Speaker 6: But he's okay.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he looks he's in good spirits, that's for sure.
Speaker 6: So are you. There's a different twinkle in your eye.
Speaker 12: I mean, obviously the beginning parts of this process are arduous,
Speaker 12: but it feels like you can see the light at
Speaker 12: the end of the tunnel right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 15: You know, when they map you out to get back
Speaker 15: into some some rehab games.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it feels feels pretty good.
Speaker 15: But once it got past the first poorish months, it
Speaker 15: was really not not too bad.
Speaker 12: Hey, it's really great to see you smile in all sincerity.
Speaker 12: Great to see you smile. Great to see you back
Speaker 12: out here pitching, and we're all looking forward to having
Speaker 12: Tony Gonsolin back. So congratulations, and I promise the Travis

Speaker 2: It's all powered by Lacare Health Plan serving all Angelinos
Speaker 2: Lacare dot Org. All right, let's heap back out to
Speaker 2: the booth. Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 4: All right, Tim Rick Monday, and I gotta yap at
Speaker 4: you one more time and mo before we came on here,
Speaker 4: you're looking out at the stadium and you said, out
Speaker 4: of nowhere, you asked the question, where would the Dodgers
Speaker 4: be without Gavin Stone, and I didn't have an answer
Speaker 4: for you, but probably not in a good place.
Speaker 7: Well, it's eleven victories, eleven and five making his twenty
Speaker 7: four starts, and he's been very impressive two fifty three
Speaker 7: banning average against. But I think beyond the numbers and
Speaker 7: what he has been able to do to control the ballgame.
Speaker 7: Does it give up a lot of home runs fifteen
Speaker 7: in the twenty three starts. Doesn't allow of stolen bases
Speaker 7: only eight so far in the nine attempts that they
Speaker 7: have made. But if you look at Gavin Stone, I
Speaker 7: mean his last down he was on Monday against Seattle.
Speaker 7: Here he made only ninety pitches. Fifty nine of those
Speaker 7: were in the strike zone, a career high ten strikeouts. Okay,
Speaker 7: it's early in his career, so okay, struck out ten.
Speaker 7: But the thing was most impressive he threw twelve consecutive
Speaker 7: first pitch strikes to begin the ballgame. He was strike
Speaker 7: after strike after strike and really took command of the
Speaker 7: strike zone.
Speaker 4: It was huge too, because now he's up to eleven
Speaker 4: wins and he has a chance today to get his twelfth,
Speaker 4: and we haven't seen a Dodgers rookie with at least
Speaker 4: twelve wins since Kenta Maeda in twenty sixteen, and keep
Speaker 4: in mind kent to a rookie in the majors at
Speaker 4: that point, but not a rookie to pro baseball. So
Speaker 4: what Gavin Stone is doing here this year is not
Speaker 4: only pivotal, it is also a monumental for him from
Speaker 4: a standpoint of a Dodger rookie.
Speaker 7: Year, and especially too you look at it, he has
Speaker 7: the only complete game shutout for this Dodger vault foot
Speaker 7: one thing that he has improved upon that last down,
Speaker 7: in particular, right handed batters had been hitting it at
Speaker 7: a very high Hey, so Backer's still hitting it two
Speaker 7: to eighty. Oddly enough, lefties are hitting only two to
Speaker 7: nineteen against him, with only five of the fifteen home runs.
Speaker 4: So we'll see how his change up plays against the
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Rays. You also keep in mind, tim as
Speaker 4: we send it back to you, the Dodger bullpen Evan
Speaker 4: Phillips Michael Kopek. If both pitch on back to back days,
Speaker 4: you're probably not going to see them tonight, and so
Speaker 4: you need some length and some effectiveness out of Gavin
Speaker 4: Stone to take some pressure and some leverage off that bullpen,
Speaker 4: knowing that Alex Vessia is available, Daniel Hudson is available,
Speaker 4: and maybe Blake trying and pitching him back to back
Speaker 4: Knights as well. But the Dodgers trying to take the
Speaker 4: series from the Rays. First pitch coming up shortly.
Speaker 3: All right, Dodgers going to action.
Speaker 2: Seventy seven and fifty three, three games up on the
Speaker 2: Arizona Diamonbacks, four and a half games up on the
Speaker 2: Padres A Diamondbacks. They're up seven to four and the
Speaker 2: ninth inname in Boston, so their's continuing to win. The
Speaker 2: Padres meanwhile, being an action coming up against the Mets
Speaker 2: in just a few minutes. First pitch is next. David
Speaker 2: Vaside's got you cover with all the postgame afterwards.
Speaker 10: Enjoy it.
