Speaker 3: Dodgers with a four to nothing lead.
Speaker 2: On the ta Oscar Hernandez two run home run, his

Speaker 2: In the first inning, he would give up three runs.
Speaker 2: In the third inning, the Dodgers starter would end up
Speaker 2: giving up two more as the Nationals took a five
Speaker 2: to four lead. The Dodgers' bullpen went to work. Jack Dryer,
Speaker 2: Anthony Bonda, Kirby Yates, Tenner, Scott Alex Vesia, and Blake
Speaker 2: Trinon went six and two third shutout innings, allowed just
Speaker 2: one hit, struck out seven along the way. They kept
Speaker 2: the Nationals at five while the Dodgers trailed all the

Speaker 2: He gets to win. Blake trying to his second loss

Speaker 2: bullpen can't say it enough. They were fantastic for nearly
Speaker 2: seven innings of relief on Wednesday. Dodgers get the win,
Speaker 2: they salvage the series in Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: They're now ten and.
Speaker 2: Four on the year, and they're back home on this
Speaker 2: Friday night to start a three game series against the
Speaker 2: Chicago Cubs Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound, and with more
Speaker 2: we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as
Speaker 2: we say hello Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 3: Excutive Kate's great to hear your voice of greing. Great
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 7: Back next to you, Rick Monday, and I know the
Speaker 7: Dodgers thinking great to be back home. A similar climate
Speaker 7: to what you guys experienced in Philly and in DC. No,
Speaker 7: but in all seriousness, it was not a great roach
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers. But they come home where they're still unbeaten,
Speaker 7: and more than that mode, they get Freddy Freeman back.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Big. How about timing? I was thinking this today because
Speaker 6: they started to line up very very early at Dodgers
Speaker 6: Stadium to try and get into the gates, either driving
Speaker 6: in or walking in. And so if Freddie Freeman comes
Speaker 6: off the injured list with his ankle, that's a great news.
Speaker 6: How about the timing, though, this is Freddie Freeman bobblehead
Speaker 6: now I'm talking about. Timing is absolutely perfect. That's exactly
Speaker 6: what we're looking at. But guess it's nice to have
Speaker 6: a ballgame where you say, hey, overcoats are optional, and
Speaker 6: that's the case tonight because it was chili and if
Speaker 6: you look at the biggest picture, the Dodgers have played
Speaker 6: rather chilly. Dave Roberts I've used this term before. Dave
Speaker 6: Roberts talks a lot about playing clean games where the offense,
Speaker 6: the defense, and the pitching really kind of goes smoothly.
Speaker 6: They didn't have too many of those opportunities on the
Speaker 6: road trip.
Speaker 7: No, no, And honestly, and in that eight and no start,
Speaker 7: it was awesome, it was so much fun. But really
Speaker 7: the home runs were masking a lot of the deficiencies
Speaker 7: that we've seen them seem bite them consistently through this year,
Speaker 7: especially on that road trip. They're getting away with it
Speaker 7: in the early going because of the home runs they
Speaker 7: were not on the road trip, especially against a great
Speaker 7: team like Philly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the Dodgers, of you know, one of
Speaker 6: the things that they really need to do, and Yoshinobu
Speaker 6: Yamamoto is starting tonight, is to stretch it out a
Speaker 6: little bit more because the Dodgers' starters have not gone
Speaker 6: deep into game. They're averaging four in the third innings.
Speaker 6: That's the fewest in the National League. The cups come
Speaker 6: in the surprising Chicago Cubs. I mean, you look at it,
Speaker 6: they're leading the Central Visions. Things got underway today. Their
Speaker 6: pitching has been terrific. They have scored more runs coming
Speaker 6: into today's ball game than any other team in Major
Speaker 6: League Baseball. And who would have put their name at
Speaker 6: the top of the list. Yes, it's early, but still
Speaker 6: they're nine and six and really feeling their oats. And
Speaker 6: that's after getting swept in the Tokyo Series.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers outscored the Cups ten to four in that set,
Speaker 7: and then they have like a pretty grueling start to
Speaker 7: the year travel wise, but they have really started clicking
Speaker 7: of late, especially the prize trade acquisition this past offseason
Speaker 7: Kyle Tucker, formerly.
Speaker 6: Of the Houston Astros.
Speaker 7: But Yoshinoba Yamamoto will get the ball tonight in Gosh
Speaker 7: is he the perfect guy again to get back to
Speaker 7: your point about timing, He's the perfect guy that Dodgers
Speaker 7: can throw out there tonight opposite Matthew Boyd. Will dive
Speaker 7: into that pitching matchup when we talk to you again
Speaker 7: a little bit later.
Speaker 6: TC.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you. Nelly has been getting down the
Speaker 3: first pitch.

Speaker 1: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers back home as they start a three game series.
Speaker 2: Against the Chicago Cubs on Freddie Freeman, Bobblehead Night, Yoshi
Speaker 2: Yamamoto and leftander Matthew Boyd. The pitching match first pitch
Speaker 2: from Dodger Stadiums coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 8: This is the Otani.
Speaker 4: Rewide, the official bank of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Otani
Speaker 4: rips one in the right field base hit and sho
Speaker 4: Hey Otani extends his major league best on base streak
Speaker 4: to twenty nine straight games. That goes back to September
Speaker 4: fourteenth of last season. Stretching the pitch coming to Muki,
Speaker 4: there goes show Hey for second base. Pitch is in
Speaker 4: there for a strike, no throw by Ruiz. It is
Speaker 4: stolen base number three for Otani.
Speaker 2: Showe Otani on Wednesday two for four on base three
Speaker 2: times and the stolen base there his third stolen base
Speaker 2: of the season.
Speaker 8: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey Kirson now joins us from the stadium. Brought to
Speaker 2: you by Cars for Kids. Ready to donate your old car?
Speaker 2: Give him a call at eight seven seven Cars for
Speaker 2: Kids right now, friendly agents are standing by to take
Speaker 2: your donation.
Speaker 3: That's Cars with the K to donate your car here soon.
Speaker 2: It's all about Freddie Freeman on this Friday Bobblehead night,
Speaker 2: and the Dodger first basement is back.
Speaker 9: I just want to tell you obviously when shoeo Tani
Speaker 9: has a bobblehead. There's a line down the hill that
Speaker 9: is now the same thing for Freddy Freeman. So I
Speaker 9: guess Freddy Freeman is basically shoe heeo TONI because what
Speaker 9: we saw coming into the stadium today it is insane.
Speaker 9: Only I guess only forty thousand fans are going to
Speaker 9: get the bobblehead, which is a lot, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 9: but people are here early. They are not playing games
Speaker 9: when it comes to this. Bobblehead's the world series one,
Speaker 9: of course, the iconic you know, bat in the air,
Speaker 9: I'm him moment essentially, So for Freddy the Bobblehead, that's
Speaker 9: a fun one. Charlie Freeman's actually gonna be throwing out.
Speaker 1: The first pitch.
Speaker 5: We saw him throw a strike last year.
Speaker 9: It seems like he is just getting older and older
Speaker 9: and he's soon going to be a big leaguer in
Speaker 9: front of our eyes. But he's going to be back
Speaker 9: out there and he's excited, and then his dad is
Speaker 9: the field finally after that kind of scary slip in
Speaker 9: the shower. So the fact that he's just good to
Speaker 9: go and back out is a really good sign for Freddie.
Speaker 2: I know he didn't want to go on the injured list,
Speaker 2: but it was probably the best thing for him, right,
Speaker 2: don't go on the road trip, get yourself off your
Speaker 2: feet for a week, and get really healthy for the
Speaker 2: main part of the season.
Speaker 9: If there's anything that Freddie Freeman takes just the most pride,
Speaker 9: and it is being a guy who posts and is
Speaker 9: available every single day. So for him not to be
Speaker 9: in the lineup these last ten days, that's been a
Speaker 9: tough one for him. But when you look at just
Speaker 9: how he's been feeling, he talked about how he puts
Speaker 9: so much work this offseason, just coming off of that
Speaker 9: surgery and trying to be ready for the Tokyo Series
Speaker 9: and putting himself in a good spot during spring training
Speaker 9: that actually when the team was here for the Tiger
Speaker 9: Series at opening weekend, he was saying that by Game
Speaker 9: three of that series, I'm starting to feel a little
Speaker 9: bit tight and just it's really smo of that just
Speaker 9: the the scar tissue in there. And so after the
Speaker 9: slip he had an MRI and it just showed that
Speaker 9: there was a little bit of fraying of that scar tissue.
Speaker 9: But in the kind of a weird way, it actually
Speaker 9: kind of loosened it up, if that makes sense, that
Speaker 9: he just feels more free than ever, whether it's you know,
Speaker 9: the ability to steal a base, which Dave Roberts did
Speaker 9: say he does not have the green light, so we'll
Speaker 9: see how that plays out in tonight's game, but Freddie
Speaker 9: does feel like if he wants to steal a base,
Speaker 9: he's not concerned about let me bee landing on it.
Speaker 9: In a weird way like these ten days just allowed
Speaker 9: for him to truly heal just a little bit more
Speaker 9: and to put himself where he can go out there
Speaker 9: and be that everyday guy again, and Dave Roberts does
Speaker 9: expect for him to be able to do just that.
Speaker 3: Moving forward when Freddie's back in the lineup.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are a stronger lineup than a stronger team,
Speaker 2: and hopefully they get back on track with a win
Speaker 2: at home tonight.
Speaker 3: Kristen, we appreciate it. Well, check in with you after
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: Still to come here on Morago becauseino Dodgers on deck
Speaker 2: will dive deeper into this Friday night pitching match up.
Speaker 3: David bet Say goes one.
Speaker 2: On one with Justin Turner back home at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 2: with the Cubbies. We'll get you an injury report and
Speaker 2: we'll hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts.

Speaker 3: pitch is seven ten. I'm Tim Kass, the world champion

Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on DECCAD ten news is we lead

Speaker 2: and Spa, a Grand Slam for good times. Yoshi Yamamoto
Speaker 2: and left hander Matthew Boyd. The pitching matchup. First pitch
Speaker 2: coming up at sevent ten.
Speaker 8: This it's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers, who've got thirteen players on the injured list.
Speaker 2: Make that twelve now that Freddie Freeman has been activated
Speaker 2: and in the lineup tonight, so that is certainly good news.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell on the il with the left shoulder inflammation
Speaker 2: Tony Gonsolin Evan Phillips, both in Triple A Oklahoma City,
Speaker 2: working their way back on minor league rehab.
Speaker 3: Assimon's Clayton kersh on the sixty day I L recovering

Speaker 3: Did what in Washington, d C? Last road trip? Let's
Speaker 3: head back out to Dodger Stadium and check out with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 10: Questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 8: Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the
Speaker 8: pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts, how valuable, what
Speaker 8: really blessed days for him?
Speaker 11: Just f care ice, they were huge. I think I
Speaker 11: even talked to Freddy and he said that this is
Speaker 11: as good as he's felt pre that initial injury at
Speaker 11: first base. So, you know, given all that he's done
Speaker 11: gone through, I think it's gave him a little reprieve
Speaker 11: mentally physically to be back and we're excited to get
Speaker 11: him back in the lineup.
Speaker 3: Do you see him being back to that every day
Speaker 3: die or do you think.
Speaker 1: He might need to sit day here and there.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's a read and react situation. I
Speaker 11: think you know my thought initially is to run him
Speaker 11: out there every day. And we've got six days until
Speaker 11: we get the next off day, until I hear or
Speaker 11: see otherwise, And I think that's part of the kind
Speaker 11: of the thought of getting on the il, getting back
Speaker 11: to close to to then be able to be able
Speaker 11: to run out there every day.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Freddie Freeman, who
Speaker 2: is back activated off the injured list and right in
Speaker 2: time for his Bobblehead night. When we continue here on
Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck, we'll check out with David vad Say
Speaker 2: as we are leading you up to first pitch from

Speaker 2: Right, David back home at Dodger Stadium. Freddie Freeman didn't
Speaker 2: make the trip, but he's back off the il and
Speaker 2: he's ready to go.
Speaker 12: He was really excited to be back today, and certainly
Speaker 12: the night of his bobblehead has got Freddie Freeman even
Speaker 12: more excited that those ten days on the injured list
Speaker 12: while the team was on the road really made a
Speaker 12: huge difference from him for him, and we had a
Speaker 12: chance to talk to Freddie earlier today.
Speaker 13: So I've been running the bases last two days and
Speaker 13: I have no reservations about hitting a base or worrying
Speaker 13: about hitting it and rolling it. I feel as free
Speaker 13: as I possibly can be right now, way better than
Speaker 13: I have the last couple of weeks. So I have
Speaker 13: no reservations going into this game. I feel like I
Speaker 13: could steal a base. That's like, That's really how I
Speaker 13: feel like, So like if there's times on my side,
Speaker 13: I'm I'll be able to go now, and I feel
Speaker 13: really good about where my ankle is.
Speaker 12: I'm not sure if you saw the people lining up
Speaker 12: outside the stadium, that's Otani level babblehead status.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I got here at twelve thirty and they're already
Speaker 13: out there. I was kind of kind of crazy, and
Speaker 13: you know, I do appreciate it. I just want to
Speaker 13: say thank you. This is really cool. Charlie's really excited.
Speaker 13: He's throwing the first pitch tonight, So if you can
Speaker 13: make it two years ago throwing a perfect strike. But
Speaker 13: I do appreciate it. It's gonna be fun. It's awesome,
Speaker 13: and you know, my family's really excited about this bubblehead too.
Speaker 12: Freddy's excited because he's back in the starting lineup. It's
Speaker 12: the first time Tim that he's been on the injured
Speaker 12: list since twenty seventeen. It's not something that happens too often.
Speaker 3: David has driven by four or there's one thing we
Speaker 3: like its choices.
Speaker 2: Of course, find yours with the Ford F one fifty
Speaker 2: gas hybrid or all electric tough This morn can only
Speaker 2: be called F one fifty.
Speaker 3: Yoshi Yamamoto on the Mounta tonight, David.
Speaker 5: I don't like to brag Tim, but early in the season,
Speaker 5: so I will.
Speaker 12: I did pick Yamamoto for the National League Cy Young
Speaker 12: Award for a reason. There was just a different swagger
Speaker 12: about him. People that were around him early on in spring,
Speaker 12: even on the backfields watching his bullpens, always felt that
Speaker 12: there was so much more confidence coming from Yamamoto entering
Speaker 12: this season, not just the swagger walking into the clubhouse,
Speaker 12: to the to his locker and to the field, but
Speaker 12: just his demeanor on the backfields and his mound presence
Speaker 12: even in these games.
Speaker 5: And he's even.
Speaker 12: Added a new wrinkle to his pitch mix to try
Speaker 12: to help keep hitters off balance, and he's even incorporated
Speaker 12: a cut fastball that's been a big weapon for him
Speaker 12: early on in this season. And it's going to be
Speaker 12: interesting to see how Yamamoto attacks these Cubs hitters who
Speaker 12: he saw on opening day in Tokyo.
Speaker 3: That's right, second time around for Yoshiamoda. DEVI appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Dodger fans celebrate ninety years of horse racing at Santa
Speaker 2: Anita Park every Friday through Sunday, with millions in payouts

Speaker 12: The weather is certainly warmer here in La than it
Speaker 12: was on the road trip, and the Dodgers are hoping
Speaker 12: they can warm up as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they need to warm up the batch. The
Speaker 6: other point two is they need some innings from starting pitching.
Speaker 6: Let me you start to look at what the Dodgers,
Speaker 6: the starters have done. You know, they have averaged just
Speaker 6: the four and the third innings and that's the fewest
Speaker 6: by starting staff in the National League. In a contrary
Speaker 6: to that, you start to look at the Cubs. Surprising.
Speaker 6: Chicago comes to a lot of different people. They're playing
Speaker 6: very good baseball and they do not want to take
Speaker 6: their foot off the accelerator here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 12: The last time we saw the Cubs was in Tokyo,
Speaker 12: and it felt like the Dodgers were in a different
Speaker 12: weight class.
Speaker 4: Than the Cubs.
Speaker 6: Yep, last time you saw them, they were in Tokyo.
Speaker 6: The last time I saw them, they were a monitor
Speaker 6: in El Segundo.
Speaker 5: Hey, well, now you'll get to see them in a living.
Speaker 6: Color exactly, and we'll do it and a lot of
Speaker 6: living color.
Speaker 11: Hey.
Speaker 6: By the way, we talk about umpires a lot during
Speaker 6: during broadcast, and not to hammer the point on umpires.
Speaker 6: We talked, Look, they're like they're like hitters, they're like pitchers.
Speaker 6: They have good days, they have bad days. They're indifferent
Speaker 6: whatever it might be. And I will say this, Major
Speaker 6: league umpires are very very good. I want to point
Speaker 6: out one particular umpire yesterday who did something. It was
Speaker 6: only the second ever since twenty fifteen when they started
Speaker 6: to look at umpires scorecards, if you will, on the
Speaker 6: accuracy and congratulations to Mark Ruppergord who scored one hundred
Speaker 6: percent on cald balls and called strikes in his ballgame
Speaker 6: yesterday Minnesota against Kansas City. That is really amazing. We've
Speaker 6: seen a couple of guys that have gone one hundred
Speaker 6: percent so far this year of maybe called strikes. For
Speaker 6: Mark Repertuer, one hundred percent across the board, pitches in
Speaker 6: the strike zone and pitches out of the strike zone.
Speaker 12: My first thought when I saw that was was he
Speaker 12: one hundred percent accurate in real life or was he
Speaker 12: one hundred percent accurate to the computers scoring that umpires
Speaker 12: are graded upon. Because pitchers are complaining there isn't a
Speaker 12: top part of the strike zone anymore.
Speaker 6: Agreed. I agree, and I've talked about it as well.
Speaker 6: When you see that little box when you're watching on
Speaker 6: tele you see that little box, that box upstairs at
Speaker 6: the top of the strike zone is not indicative of
Speaker 6: the strike zone. Did that particular batter because it's supposed
Speaker 6: to be the height and the low level according to
Speaker 6: the stance, the normal batting stance that that particular hitter takes.
Speaker 12: Here's a question pitchers have been asking me because they
Speaker 12: always thought the top part of the strike zone was
Speaker 12: usually at the batter's letters of the name of the
Speaker 12: team they're wearing.
Speaker 5: Where is the top of the strike zone.
Speaker 6: That's a good point. If you look at the rule book,
Speaker 6: it's just underneath the armpits. I had an umpired tell
Speaker 6: me is a number of years ago. In fact, it
Speaker 6: was Bruce Freming. I would imagine that Bruce Freming, who
Speaker 6: umpired all of those thousands of games in his career,
Speaker 6: would understand. I asked him once. I said, Bruce, where
Speaker 6: is the top of the strike zone? He goes, well,
Speaker 6: forget what it says in the rule book. He said,
Speaker 6: the top of the striking mode. If you look at
Speaker 6: the belt buckle and you were to stack three baseballs,
Speaker 6: one on top of the other, on top of the other.
Speaker 6: And I looked at him, at Bruce, the pitch is
Speaker 6: not called that high, even three baseball heights above the
Speaker 6: belt buckle. It's lower than that or what is really
Speaker 6: being called.
Speaker 12: That's what pitchers are telling me, Rick, that the top
Speaker 12: of the strike zone now is being called just above
Speaker 12: the belt buckle. Nothing that you're describing, whether it be
Speaker 12: the armpit or three baseballs above the belt.
Speaker 6: Well, there's a few things, quite frankly in the rule book,
Speaker 6: And I brought this up the last year to a
Speaker 6: couple of different umpire supervisors that Baseball needs to look
Speaker 6: at their own rule book that they publish. Yeah, because
Speaker 6: it's wrong in some of the areas, and is wrong
Speaker 6: upfront in a couple of areas. So now the umpires
Speaker 6: have a more in detail list of all the different
Speaker 6: rules they're Major League Baseball. But I still believe that
Speaker 6: the strike zone is still mysterious. Yes, it has to
Speaker 6: be interpreted by different different umpires. Umpires are like a
Speaker 6: lot of hitters and pitchers. Some pitchers and hitters curveball
Speaker 6: is right on track, they've got it. To others, no,
Speaker 6: it might as well be three dimension of chests because
Speaker 6: they can't figure it out.
Speaker 5: So basically, you're saying the rule book is a mystery
Speaker 5: book that we can all enjoy.
Speaker 6: And by the way, the Dodgers post who the umpires
Speaker 6: are for that particular game, and they know full wells
Speaker 6: who the umpire is tonight, and I guarantee you they
Speaker 6: also know tendencies inside outside up and down.
Speaker 5: Hey, I know your tendencies. Rick, thanks a lot for
Speaker 5: stopping by.
Speaker 6: Yeah, get out of here.
Speaker 5: Well, check in with you and Stephen Nelson later. Tim
Speaker 5: will send it back to you.

Speaker 5: Justin Turner JT. Great to see you, good to see
Speaker 5: it to us.
Speaker 10: Good to be back in southern California.
Speaker 12: Hey, we got this kick started the right way with
Speaker 12: the selfie you and a drink Gonzalezes made that famous
Speaker 12: in La.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we didn't do it on an iPhone though we
Speaker 10: did it on Ah.
Speaker 5: What are those called disposable camera?
Speaker 10: Are you going disposable camera while you're old enough.
Speaker 5: To know what those are?
Speaker 10: So are you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Man, it's great to see that big smile on your face.
Speaker 5: Let's go back to that. Actually, the selfies you and
Speaker 5: a drink, Gonzalez and the culture you guys created here.
Speaker 5: How proud are you that it's still living on to
Speaker 5: this day.
Speaker 10: I've been fortunate enough to play with a lot of
Speaker 10: great baseball players and a lot of guys who are
Speaker 10: very pomplish on the field, very accomplished off the field,
Speaker 10: and but on top of that, you know, there are
Speaker 10: great people and kind of taught me how to be
Speaker 10: a great person, be a great teammate, be good to
Speaker 10: guys in the clubhouse. And you know, Adrian was one
Speaker 10: of those guys that was exceptional with getting guys together
Speaker 10: and team dinners and appreciating the little things that happened
Speaker 10: in the game, the moments in this game that happened.
Speaker 10: And you know, the selfie thing I think caught on
Speaker 10: pretty quick. And was pretty cool. And I still to
Speaker 10: this day have people come up to me and say, hey,
Speaker 10: can we get a selfie like you and Gonzo? So
Speaker 10: that's pretty cool. And I think just you know, over
Speaker 10: the years, watching the culture in that room over there
Speaker 10: change and watching the shift in a comfort for young
Speaker 10: guys coming up, comfort for new guys getting traded over
Speaker 10: seeing how they can seamlessly kind of just fit in
Speaker 10: right away from day one and jump right in and
Speaker 10: be impactful. And there it really like, you know, kind
Speaker 10: of minimize the not so much to the learning curve.
Speaker 10: I think everyone has a learning curve when they get
Speaker 10: to this level or when they get to a new
Speaker 10: team trying to figure everything out. But the comfort level
Speaker 10: of being accepted knowing that, hey, I just got to
Speaker 10: go out here and do what I do best and
Speaker 10: and that's all these guys want from me.
Speaker 5: And to see that, uh, you know, as far as
Speaker 5: I know, it's still.
Speaker 10: Being carried carried over over there, and you see new
Speaker 10: guys come into that clubhouse and jump in and have
Speaker 10: an impact right away.
Speaker 8: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 12: So from this side looking in now you've seen this
Speaker 12: Dodger ownership do a lot of different things. Half a
Speaker 12: billion dollars was spent this offseason. There's spent a lot
Speaker 12: of talk about it. From your perspective, what do you
Speaker 12: think about this version of the Dodgers the last couple
Speaker 12: of years.
Speaker 10: Hey, is a commitment to winning. You know there there's rules,
Speaker 10: the same rules are in play for everyone, and I
Speaker 10: don't I think it's great. I think it's great for
Speaker 10: the game to have owners that you know, are all
Speaker 10: in and and want to go out and make their
Speaker 10: team as good as they can possibly make it. And
Speaker 10: it doesn't matter how many top tier free agents are
Speaker 10: out there, they they want to bring them all in.
Speaker 10: And obviously, with you know the success the Dodgers have
Speaker 10: had over the years, you know a lot of guys
Speaker 10: you don't want to come and be a part of it.
Speaker 5: So you know, it's good to see.
Speaker 10: You kind of hope that more teams will you know,
Speaker 10: fall in line to you know, competing in the free
Speaker 10: agent market and trying to make their team as competitive
Speaker 10: as possible as well. But you never know what's going
Speaker 10: to happen. I've heard all kinds of stuff and all
Speaker 10: kinds of takes and angles on it, but you know,
Speaker 10: the rules are the rules, and they're playing by the rules,
Speaker 10: so you know, if you don't like it, you know,
Speaker 10: maybe following their footsteps.
Speaker 12: You still have so much to offer the game, so
Speaker 12: don't take this the wrong way. Everybody wants to know
Speaker 12: when is the last dance? We all want you back
Speaker 12: in LA in some capacity. But what is your mentality
Speaker 12: as you go year by year?
Speaker 14: Now?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know. I think.
Speaker 12: You twisted your neck when I asked you that. I'm
Speaker 12: not pushing you out of the game. No, no, I
Speaker 12: don't think you are. And I want to play as
Speaker 12: long as I can. And but I don't know if oh,
Speaker 12: here comes JMO and you're in the seat, so I'll
Speaker 12: get up, I'll just stand up.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if I want or I've
Speaker 3: never been one to want.
Speaker 5: Like a spotlight shined on me or the accolades.
Speaker 10: I don't love talking about myself or hearing it. So
Speaker 10: I'm going to play this game as long as I can.
Speaker 10: And I don't know if I want to announce a
Speaker 10: retirement tour and go through all that.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I deserve that.
Speaker 10: I've seen guys, you know, like Miguel Cabrera and Albert
Speaker 10: Poolhols and you know, just absolute.
Speaker 5: Icons of the game. They're the ones that deserve that.
Speaker 10: I don't necessarily know if that's something for me, but
Speaker 10: it's definitely something I don't want even if it were
Speaker 10: the case. So I'm just gonna keep going day by
Speaker 10: day and playing as long as I can, and whenever
Speaker 10: the time comes, you know, then then I'll make that announcement.
Speaker 12: Hey, the Dodger mantra with you and Rich Hill used
Speaker 12: to be be where your feet are, stay in the moment.
Speaker 12: It sounds like you're living the words of the great
Speaker 12: Rich Hill.
Speaker 4: That is so true.
Speaker 10: And I love Dick Mountain. He's the man, and I
Speaker 10: think he'd be a great co host for you on
Speaker 10: Dodger Talk if you're looking for somebody. I don't know
Speaker 10: how much Drey's doing it anymore.
Speaker 5: But maybe a rounder you, me and Rich Hill, Oh man, that.
Speaker 10: Would be you get some great content.
Speaker 12: And now, oh hello, thanks a lot for the time,

Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up at seven to ten from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kats's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Longo Casino, Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season log good Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in Cubs on this Friday night, the
Speaker 2: start of a three game set.
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman Bobblehead Night. First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 1: And now before the Dodgers hit the dineck, we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching matchout.
Speaker 2: Coresent about your Southern California Toyota dealers work hard, play
Speaker 2: hard in a New Tacoma with an I Force turbo
Speaker 2: charged engine, a truck built for the Bowl.
Speaker 3: See youre a Toyota dealer today, they make it easy.
Speaker 2: Matthew Boyd on the Mountain, thirty four year old left hander,
Speaker 2: six round pick of the Blue Jays in twenty thirteen
Speaker 2: out of Oregon State, eleven season the Big Leagues, Blue Jays, Tigers, Mariners, Guardians,
Speaker 2: and now his first with the Cubs, making his third
Speaker 2: start this season last time out, six shutout innings, five hits,
Speaker 2: five strackouts in a no decision against the Padres. Yoshanobu
Speaker 2: Yabamoto on the mound, twenty six year old right handed
Speaker 2: out of Japan, making his fourth start. He tossed the
Speaker 2: Dodgers' first quality start of the season last time out
Speaker 2: on April fourth at Philadelphia, six innings, giving up one
Speaker 2: earned run, three hits, three walks while striking out five
Speaker 2: in a loss. Facing the Cubs for the fourth time
Speaker 2: in his career, second time this season. He saw them
Speaker 2: over in Tokyo in the opening series five innings, giving
Speaker 2: up one run on three hits while striking out four
Speaker 2: in a win. Dodgers cub fifteen minutes away from first pitch,
Speaker 2: keys to the game. Our next, I'm Tim Katson's World
Speaker 2: campion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's Dodgers and Cubs on this Friday night. Yoshi, I'm
Speaker 2: a moto on the mount. First pitch is seven to ten.
Speaker 2: When the Boys in Blue play at home, it's important
Speaker 2: that they have the right plan to protect their house,
Speaker 2: and they're undefeated at the Ravine so far this season.
Speaker 2: That same applies to your home. Always have a plan
Speaker 2: and follow fire safety tips. For example, user install ignition
Speaker 2: resistant materials around your home. Use fire resistant materials when
Speaker 2: building a deck, replace events with imber and flame resistant vents.
Speaker 2: To find out more about these tips and others, visit
Speaker 2: fire dot CA dot go. Let's head back out now,
Speaker 2: Steven Nelson Rick Monday one final time before first pitch, guys.
Speaker 7: All right to him back here with mo the Dodgers
Speaker 7: kicking off a six game home stant at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 7: where they've won nine in a row. The last loss
Speaker 7: at home mod you got to go back to the
Speaker 7: championship series in the last postseason against the Mets Game two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And they've done a very good job here at home.
Speaker 6: They like the home cooking, no question about that. And
Speaker 6: now they need to get back on track and put
Speaker 6: another string together. The Cubs have really kind of taken
Speaker 6: on a persona of the Dodgers last year, and by
Speaker 6: that I'm talking about they had not expanded the strike
Speaker 6: zone and they do take some walks. And for Yamamoto
Speaker 6: getting the start tonight. You know, you can hope that
Speaker 6: he can repeat what he did earlier talking about he
Speaker 6: had that start in Tokyo against the Cubs and that
Speaker 6: would be able to you know, picked up the win,
Speaker 6: went five innings and at opening opening endeavor. So yeah,
Speaker 6: we need the pitching for this Dodger boat club and
Speaker 6: full well expected. I think the other part too is
Speaker 6: Dodgers need to get in the cubs bullpen because they've
Speaker 6: they've struggled at this point.
Speaker 7: They have one quick question will hit you with about
Speaker 7: Yamamoto in that start against the Cubs. He was terrific,
Speaker 7: especially with first pit strikes and the tucks. The Cubs
Speaker 7: really had a tough time rather with Yama Modo splitter.
Speaker 7: So if you're put yourself in the club's clubhouse, which
Speaker 7: I know you've been in your career, and you're facing
Speaker 7: a guy that kind of dominated against you in Tokyo,
Speaker 7: and are you expecting more of the same. We're you
Speaker 7: expecting a different game plan? How do you attack them?
Speaker 6: By the way, they didn't see that idea. That b
Speaker 6: was all over all over me. That's what you call
Speaker 6: operating under pressure.
Speaker 3: I got I got him before it got me.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, I didn't know you can move that quickness.
Speaker 6: But an answer to your question, we'll try and get
Speaker 6: back to baseball. Great moves. By the way, thank you
Speaker 6: very much. You weren't even dancing, but you were your
Speaker 6: light on your feet. But the Cubs they have the
Speaker 6: highest walk rate too, so I would imagine that they
Speaker 6: are going to make Yamamoto throw that splitter a little
Speaker 6: bit closer to the plate than what they were swinging
Speaker 6: at in Tokyo.
Speaker 7: Gosh, that splitter, it floats like a butterfly and.
Speaker 6: States like a being like you have to get the
Speaker 6: beekeeper over from Phoenix.
Speaker 7: We'd be here for two more hours and we don't
Speaker 7: have that kind of time. You mentioned the Cubs bullpen.
Speaker 7: I think that's apropos because Matthew Boyd, the left handed
Speaker 7: starting pitcher, he's faced the Dodgers twice. They saw him
Speaker 7: last year when he was with the Guardians, and he's
Speaker 7: given him relative fits limited experience or exposure, I should
Speaker 7: say for Boyd against the Dodgers, but he along with
Speaker 7: shelte Imanaga, they've really they formed this one two punch.
Speaker 7: But outside of that, the pitching staff has let a
Speaker 7: lot to be desired for Craig counsel.
Speaker 6: And Boyd has protected himself. Also, he's not given up
Speaker 6: a base hit with a runner and scoring position this
Speaker 6: particular point. The other part two is there's not been
Speaker 6: one stolen base attempt against the lefty either.
Speaker 7: Wow, the run game is something huge to watch the
Speaker 7: night tim as we get it back to you. The
Speaker 7: Cubs lead all of baseball with twenty five steel and
Speaker 7: that's in twenty six attempts. Now, meanwhile, the Dodgers they've
Speaker 7: allowed fifteen steals in sixteen attempts. So the running game,
Speaker 7: the game within this matchup, which kicks off shortly game
Speaker 7: one of this three game set at the Ravine.
Speaker 3: All right, first pinches, next, enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Katson's been Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck on
Speaker 2: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network
