Speaker 6: Tim kays well, Hi everybody, and welcome to Morongo Casino.
Speaker 6: Dodgers on Deck. You're a world champion. Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 6: thirty two and twenty one on this season, first place
Speaker 6: atop the NL West. After dropping two of three in
Speaker 6: New York over the weekend to start the road trip,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers now in Cleveland for a.
Speaker 1: Three game interleague series with the Guardians.
Speaker 6: Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound on this Memorial Day. First
Speaker 6: pitch from Progressive Field is set for three ten coming
Speaker 6: up over the next hour here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers
Speaker 6: on Deck, you're gonna hear from Dodger third Basement, Max Munty,
Speaker 6: David Vasseur, Dodger insider, joins us. Throughout the hour we
Speaker 6: preview this pitching matchup. We'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 6: Coming up in about fifteen minutes. We've got your Dodgers
Speaker 6: magical moment coming up in thirty minutes. Shortly we'll visit
Speaker 6: with Sports and at Las Kirsten Watson, and in just
Speaker 6: a few minutes we will head out to the Galpin
Speaker 6: Motors broadcast booth. And here from Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Well,
Speaker 6: last night in New York, it was Sunday Night baseball,
Speaker 6: the rubber game between the Dodgers and Mets. He got
Speaker 6: off to a good start for the Dodgers. The second
Speaker 6: pitch of the game. Show Hey win.
Speaker 7: Deep singa at the letters, kicks and deals, and Otani
Speaker 7: with a smash.
Speaker 3: Soaring into the Sunday Night Hey leadoff home run. First
Speaker 3: Show Hey old Tony to the upper deck. He goes
Speaker 3: torching a fest ball and giving the Dodgers oh one
Speaker 3: nothing lead.
Speaker 6: Number eighteen on the season for show, Hey Otani. Just
Speaker 6: like that, the Dodgers had a one nothing lead over
Speaker 6: the Mets. In the bottom of the first, a couple
Speaker 6: of strikeouts for Landon Nack, two outs, A ground ball
Speaker 6: from Juan Soto near shortstop Max Munsey could not field
Speaker 6: it cleanly, one hopted to Freddie Freeman. Soto beats out
Speaker 6: the throw, so he with two outs. A runner aboard
Speaker 6: on the air and the next batter, Pete.
Speaker 7: Alonzo, two outs, Soto on after the E five. Now
Speaker 7: Pete Alonzo first pitch belt to the left field, way
Speaker 7: back and gone. And so just like that, the air
Speaker 7: is so costly, Hey go ahead, two run home run
Speaker 7: for Pete Alonzo, and it's two to one New York.
Speaker 2: A laser to.
Speaker 7: Left field for the Mets. Slugging first baseman snaps the
Speaker 7: longest home run draft of his seven year career, sixteen
Speaker 7: games without one until that two to one Mets.
Speaker 1: An air opened the door for the Mets.
Speaker 6: Pete Alonso a two run home run as a Mets
Speaker 6: grabbed a two to one lead. Dodgers just didn't play
Speaker 6: clean baseball last night. Four airs, including an air in
Speaker 6: the bottom half of the third from Mookie Betts trying
Speaker 6: to flip the ball over the head of Tommy Emmit
Speaker 6: at second for a forest play.
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindoro went to third on the overthrow.
Speaker 6: Juan Soto, then a ground ball fielder's choice scored Lindor
Speaker 6: and that gave the Mets a three to one lead.
Speaker 6: Landon Neck just didn't get a lot of help. He
Speaker 6: pitched well. In fact, after giving up the three runs,
Speaker 6: retired in eleven in a row, he would go a
Speaker 6: season high six innings for the Dodgers last night. He
Speaker 6: allowed the three runs, only one of which was earned.
Speaker 6: Four hits, five strikeouts, zero one, no offense. So outside
Speaker 6: of the show, hey Otani home run of the first,
Speaker 6: Dodgers had opportunities in the fourth, in the fifty at
Speaker 6: the bases loaded with two outs and couldn't score. In
Speaker 6: the sixth, inn Max Montia went out walk Andy pot
Speaker 6: Has grounded into a double play. That was a theme
Speaker 6: all series long, as the Dodgers hit into eight double
Speaker 6: plays in the three games at City Field. They lose
Speaker 6: the finale last night three to one Code II single
Speaker 6: the win. Landon Knack gets the loss as the Dodgers
Speaker 6: dropped two of three at City Field. They're thirty two
Speaker 6: to twenty one on the year, and now they head
Speaker 6: to Cleveland on this Memorial Day. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the
Speaker 6: mount of the series opener from Progressive Field. Then with
Speaker 6: more we head out to the Galloping Motors broadcast booth
Speaker 6: as we welcome in Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 8: Thanks very much, Tim, A nice cool evening here in Cleveland,
Speaker 8: Ohio at Progressive Field as the Dodgers begin this three
Speaker 8: game set with the Cleveland Guardians on this Memorial Day,
Speaker 8: Monday packed house is expected here tonight to see the
Speaker 8: Dodgers and the Guardians. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will have the start,
Speaker 8: looking for his sixth win. He is grad ERA second
Speaker 8: of the National League at one point eighty six. Gavin
Speaker 8: Williams will be the mild opponent. He's four and two
Speaker 8: with an urn run average of three point nine to four. Well,
Speaker 8: the Dodgers coming off a rough weekend in New York.
Speaker 8: Even though they won on Friday, it took him a
Speaker 8: long time to get that one, and then losses on
Speaker 8: Saturday and again last night.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think of the manner in which they
Speaker 9: lost ball games and after the game last night before
Speaker 9: the Dodgers boarded their charters and headed to Cleveland, Dave
Speaker 9: Roberts is saying, look, we've just got to play clean
Speaker 9: baseball and have some good offensive approaches, and that has
Speaker 9: not really been the case from top to bottom. In fact,
Speaker 9: if you look at last night, four errors were committed
Speaker 9: in that three game series. The Dodgers hit into eight
Speaker 9: ground bowl double plays. That really ended some big threads.
Speaker 9: So yeah, they got to tighten the belts from a
Speaker 9: defensive standpoint, and now we're beginning to see a little
Speaker 9: bit more length out of the starting pitching. And that's
Speaker 9: really been the case with Yama Mota recently.
Speaker 8: When you look at the numbers, on average, the Dodgers
Speaker 8: average the fewest number of pitches from their starters in
Speaker 8: all of Major League Baseball at seventy seven pitches. Everybody
Speaker 8: else is higher. In fact, Cleveland's in the top five
Speaker 8: eighty nine pitches. But when you look at that, you
Speaker 8: hope that you're started to see more and more length.
Speaker 8: We did see that out of yama Mota when his
Speaker 8: last start. Hope to see that out of dustin May
Speaker 8: tomorrow and landon thatc In spite of the loss last night.
Speaker 2: He had a pretty good game, Yeah, you did.
Speaker 9: And coming into that series in New York, as you're saying,
Speaker 9: you know, the bullpen's been overworked. There's no offens and
Speaker 9: butts about it. We can kind of sugarcoat it, but
Speaker 9: it's not going to work. But the Dodgers, they're starting pitching,
Speaker 9: the only team in baseball that's averaged less than fourteen
Speaker 9: outs per starts, and that has really been the burden
Speaker 9: of this bullpen. So you combine that with the fact
Speaker 9: that they get to tighten the belts defensively. Too many
Speaker 9: opportunities for other ball clubs, whether to be stealing a base,
Speaker 9: whether it be taking an extra base or play just
Speaker 9: not being made.
Speaker 8: Tommy Edmond out of the lineup tonight. Dave Roberts still,
Speaker 8: you know, nursing him a little bit coming off the
Speaker 8: injured list, did not want him playing six straight games.
Speaker 8: So Hassan Kim gets the start at second base, Michael
Speaker 8: Confordo hitting eight and Dave Roberts saying, Michael will play
Speaker 8: in all three games here in Cleveland.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and trying to get it going. He's had some
Speaker 9: better swings and I think better approaches. He's not swinging
Speaker 9: at pitches really out of the strike zone. So it's
Speaker 9: not really terrible at bats, it's just been terrible results
Speaker 9: to this particular point. He's hitting at one sixty three
Speaker 9: in the eight spot in tonight's lineup, so trying to
Speaker 9: get it going, and if you're sitting on the bench
Speaker 9: and not playing, there's no way to get it going.
Speaker 8: Well, news out of Orange County regarding a former Dodger,
Speaker 8: Chris Taylor, apparently has signed with the Angels and is
Speaker 8: in the lineup to play center field against the Yankees
Speaker 8: tonight at Anaheim.
Speaker 9: Well, that's good news because Taylor meant a lot to
Speaker 9: this Dodgers organization, obviously with a winning on the teams.
Speaker 9: Is a good guy and we wish him nothing the best.
Speaker 9: It just did not work out if we're looking the
Speaker 9: last couple of years from an offensive standpoint, and Chris
Speaker 9: Taylor and aod Dodger uniform.
Speaker 8: On this Memorial Day Monday evening here in Cleveland, Yoshinobu
Speaker 8: Yamamoto takes on Gavilan Williams Dodgers and Guardians Game one.
Speaker 6: Tim, All right, thanks a lot, Tim, as we cut
Speaker 6: you down to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game
Speaker 6: day meal on It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor, or to your
Speaker 6: Shaky's Pizza chickin to Moojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com.

Speaker 6: gonna hear from the manager Dave Roberts. We will check
Speaker 6: in with David vass Say he'll go one on one
Speaker 6: with Max Munsey we break down this pitchy match up.
Speaker 6: We got your magical moment coming up in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 6: I'm next, so you're Otani Rewine and we'll visit with
Speaker 6: Kirsten Watson from Sports a LA. That's all coming up
Speaker 6: as we lead you up to Dodgers and Guardians on
Speaker 6: this Memorial Day first pitch on Cleveland coming up at
Speaker 6: three ten.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kas's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Doll.
Speaker 5: This is Lorongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home for
Speaker 5: LA Dodgers Face Ball.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the Guardians. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Gavin Williams
Speaker 6: a bitch you match up on this Memorial Day perst
Speaker 6: Bitch with Cleveland, coming up at three tens.
Speaker 7: This is the Otani Rewide Senga at the letters, Kicks
Speaker 7: and Deals and Otani with a smash.
Speaker 3: Soaring into the Sunday night Hey lead off home run
Speaker 3: for show. Hey Otani to the upper deck. He goes,
Speaker 3: torching a fastball and giving the Dodgers oh one nothing lead.
Speaker 6: Show Hey Otani his eighteenth home run of this season.
Speaker 6: Yesterday in New York, Otani leading things off for the Dodgers. Unfortunately,
Speaker 6: nobody followed them as the Dodgers lost to the Mets
Speaker 6: yesterday at City Field three to one.
Speaker 5: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 6: Hey Kirson now joins us from Cleveland. Brought to you
Speaker 6: by Cars for Kids. Ready to donate your old car?
Speaker 6: Call eight seven seven Cars for Kids right now, Friendly
Speaker 6: agents Dandy by to take your donation. That's Cars with
Speaker 6: a K to donate your car to day the Dodgers
Speaker 6: leave New York having dropped two of three. You a
Speaker 6: little momentum going and the perfect guy to have it
Speaker 6: on the mound, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Look, he's been the ace of this ball club. He's
Speaker 10: been the stopper before and yeah, it's okay, only coming
Speaker 10: off of two losses, but still they want him to
Speaker 10: be able to set the tone early.
Speaker 1: And you said it.
Speaker 10: He's coming off of his best start of the year
Speaker 10: thus far, six no hit innings, seven shutout innings. He
Speaker 10: was excellent. Even when he talked after that game, the
Speaker 10: stuff wasn't a really good spot. He did say, of course,
Speaker 10: it's hard to one just throw a complete game in general,
Speaker 10: to throw a complete no hitter, that's a whole nother ballgame.
Speaker 10: The pitch count did get up, he threw a career
Speaker 10: high one hundred and ten pitches, so obviously those were
Speaker 10: some key factors for him. But the hope for today
Speaker 10: is just to go out there set the tone in
Speaker 10: this one. I mean, we did see some really strong
Speaker 10: pitching performance to Milandon Nak yesterday, but for him to
Speaker 10: get things going early in this one, that will be huge. Now,
Speaker 10: it will be interesting because obviously there's not too much
Speaker 10: familiarity between him and the Guardians. They are a really
Speaker 10: good splitter hitting team, though interesting enough, so that's obviously
Speaker 10: his bread and butter. So we'll see how this matchup
Speaker 10: faces out. But I don't know if I was on
Speaker 10: the Guardians. You have to go from facing Turk spooball
Speaker 10: one day to then Yoshinobi Amamoto does not sound fun if.
Speaker 4: You ask me.
Speaker 1: A good thing for the Dodgers. They have him on
Speaker 1: the Mountain tonight.
Speaker 6: Speaking on the mount yesterday show, Hey Otani was on
Speaker 6: the mound before the game at City Field. He threw
Speaker 6: twenty two pitches and a live batting practice to some
Speaker 6: players and coaches.
Speaker 1: How does he check out twenty four hours later?
Speaker 10: Hereson He's feeling good. He is feeling good of course yesterday.
Speaker 10: Of course the live VP he mentioned in the leadoff
Speaker 10: home run. The hope is just to keep the offensive
Speaker 10: side of that going today. But for him on the
Speaker 10: pitching side, he did feel really good coming out of it.
Speaker 10: So Dave Roberts said, as well as show Hey moving forward,
Speaker 10: he's going to be taking part of live vps once
Speaker 10: a week. So we saw it yesterday, we'll see it
Speaker 10: again this weekend. He will still have his touch and
Speaker 10: feel in between. So his usual schedule has been Wednesday
Speaker 10: and then Saturday, so the two bullpens. The original schedule
Speaker 10: for the live VP was supposed to be on Saturday.
Speaker 10: It was of course, I've pushed to Sunday due to
Speaker 10: the super late night in New York on Friday, So
Speaker 10: we'll see how the exact scheduling will play out moving forward.
Speaker 10: Dave said that the touch and field bullpen could be
Speaker 10: on Wednesday, but it is going to be a day
Speaker 10: game here, so it could be Wednesday, it could be Thursday,
Speaker 10: on the off day back in Los Angeles, So we'll see.
Speaker 10: But the fact that even show Hey last night was
Speaker 10: saying that, you know, he was kind of looking to
Speaker 10: be more in that ninety three ninety four velocity range.
Speaker 10: He was able to get up to ninety six ninety seven,
Speaker 10: so that was huge for him. He feels that the intensity.
Speaker 10: As long as the intensity and the pitch count continues
Speaker 10: to grow and just kind of increase moving forward, he'll
Speaker 10: be in a really good spot where he's not going
Speaker 10: to need to rehab assignment, so he'll be able to
Speaker 10: continue being you know, that DH out there hopefully every day.
Speaker 10: We'll kind of see moving forward how that continues to
Speaker 10: play out. But he feels really good, so Hey, that's
Speaker 10: all you can ask for is the of course, the
Speaker 10: twenty four hour check in.
Speaker 6: It's huge, absolutely step in the right direction for show.
Speaker 1: Hey, appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Keirston, We'll check in with you after the game is
Speaker 6: still to come. Here, I'm Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 6: We'll dive deeper into this series opening pitching matchup. David
Speaker 6: Vass goes one on one with Max Muncy. But up next,
Speaker 6: we'll get you an injury report and we hear from
Speaker 6: the manager himself, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Guardians
Speaker 6: on this Memorial Day. First pitch from Cleveland's coming up
Speaker 6: at three ten. I'm Tim Kates. Is the world champion
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Dodgers audio know.
Speaker 5: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 5: for the blue all season law.
Speaker 6: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as he leads up
Speaker 6: to first pitch. Dodgers and Guardians on this Memorial Day.
Speaker 6: Marongo Casino Resort in Spa, A Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 6: Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Mount. Gavin Williams goes for the
Speaker 6: Guardians first pitch from Cleveland at three ten.
Speaker 5: This it's the LA Dodgers injury report.
Speaker 6: You cla healthy official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 6: Roki Sasaki on the I L.
Speaker 1: Kirby Yates on the I L. Evan Phillips.
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts said yesterday it's a little concerning his right
Speaker 6: fore arm strain that is not getting any better and
Speaker 6: he is not throwing. Tyler Glass now Blake Snell are
Speaker 6: both on the men, as is Michael Kopek, who threw
Speaker 6: a scoreless ending of relief in Triple A Oklahoma City
Speaker 6: on a minor league rehab assignment yesterday. All right, let's
Speaker 6: head back out to Cleveland and check out the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 4: Any questions for Dave?
Speaker 2: Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
Speaker 2: the pressure in.
Speaker 5: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: You know, this team, I don't know if they've seen him,
Speaker 11: certainly haven't seen him much, but I think for me,
Speaker 11: it's just heavy left handed lineup. I think he's going
Speaker 11: to be you know, obviously command is going to be important.
Speaker 11: I think that the split, the curveball mixing in, and
Speaker 11: I think honestly just continuing to be Oshinobu and you know,
Speaker 11: our bullpen's in a decent spot, but for him to
Speaker 11: still go deep and be who he is, is certainly
Speaker 11: going to be helpful and give us a good chance
Speaker 11: to win tonight.
Speaker 10: On the offensive side, we saw obviously the leadoff home
Speaker 10: run from show Hey yesterday, but then the offense was
Speaker 10: relatively limited yesterday. How do you want to see them
Speaker 10: just kind of get back to whether it's quality of
Speaker 10: a fence or just kind of more production as a whole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think.
Speaker 11: It just kind of hasn't been synced up offensively. I
Speaker 11: think there's some good at bats for some guys at times.
Speaker 2: I think other times that were kind.
Speaker 11: Of a little too aggressive, you know, chasing out of
Speaker 11: the zone. But that's sort of baseball. But I think
Speaker 11: that you know, today, this guy's got a big arm,
Speaker 11: it's high velocity, and we've got to kind of lock
Speaker 11: in our hitting zone and just try to continue to
Speaker 11: take good swings. And yeah, there are times that we're
Speaker 11: gonna hit balls at guys with quality contact, but that's baseball,
Speaker 11: all right.
Speaker 6: There's the manager, Dave Robbers. We continue here on Dodgers
Speaker 6: on Deck. We'll check you in with the David says.
Speaker 6: We're leading you up to first pitch in Cleveland. Dodgers
Speaker 6: and Guardians on this Memorial Day, first pitch at three ten.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kates's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Audio nowhere.
Speaker 5: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 5: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the Guardians started at three game sets. Yoshinobu,
Speaker 6: you have a mode on the mount on this Memorial Day.
Speaker 6: First pitch coming.
Speaker 5: Up at three ten, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 5: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 1: All right, DV.
Speaker 6: Memorial Day the unofficial start to summer and a good
Speaker 6: time to check your car. Make sure it's running to
Speaker 6: top performance.
Speaker 1: Out the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: Let's check in on the Dodgers on this Memorial Day.
Speaker 6: How are they checking in so far?
Speaker 4: DV, Well, it's concerning.
Speaker 12: I feel like Memorial Day is a good first checkpoint
Speaker 12: of the regular season. The Dodgers, despite having a lot
Speaker 12: of injuries to their pitching and some inconsistencies with their offense,
Speaker 12: are in a very good spot, one of the best
Speaker 12: records in the National League along with the Phillies, but
Speaker 12: part of the Dodgers' strength in years past has been
Speaker 12: their bullpen, and this year it hasn't been the case
Speaker 12: because of a lot of injuries, including to Blake Trinan
Speaker 12: and Evan Phillips, along with the fact that Michael Kopek
Speaker 12: still hasn't thrown a single pitch this season. But that
Speaker 12: doesn't change the fact the Dodger bullpen has given up
Speaker 12: the second most home runs of any bullpen in Major
Speaker 12: League Baseball thirty two home runs given up by the
Speaker 12: Dodger bullpen this year, only second to the Angels, who
Speaker 12: have given up thirty three. We also know tim about
Speaker 12: the workload of the bullpen two hundred and thirty innings
Speaker 12: in their first fifty three games of the year.
Speaker 4: That's just not sustainable.
Speaker 12: And I know it's kind of playing catch up right
Speaker 12: now if you're the Dodgers starting staff, but you can't
Speaker 12: undo already the innings that were pitched, so the only
Speaker 12: thing they can do is try to move forward and
Speaker 12: minimize the workload to their high leverage believers. I also
Speaker 12: forgot Kirby Yates. He's on the il right now with
Speaker 12: the right hand string strains. So that's part of the
Speaker 12: reason why Dave Roberts is so intent on pushing his
Speaker 12: starters in tonight. They have the right guy on the
Speaker 12: mound to do just that, and that's Yoshi Yamamoto.
Speaker 1: David has driven by Ford.
Speaker 6: If this one thing we like, it's choices, of course,
Speaker 6: finding yours at the Ford F one to fifty gas hybrid,
Speaker 6: all electric tough. This mark can only be called the
Speaker 6: F one fifty. Mookie Betts playing shortstop David in the past.
Speaker 6: In the past being last year he talked about it mentally,
Speaker 6: to get prepared to play shortstop every single day was
Speaker 6: draining on him. You think it's taken away maybe this
Speaker 6: year from his offense.
Speaker 4: I really do? I mean?
Speaker 12: Can we say Mookie Betts has been a difference maker
Speaker 12: offensively so far this year. He's hitting two sixty with
Speaker 12: eight home runs. He's had flashes. But tim the facts
Speaker 12: are and why so many teams were a little surprised
Speaker 12: the Dodgers would make this move is that Mookie Betts,
Speaker 12: one of the greatest athletes we have seen to play
Speaker 12: Major League baseball, is still human. He's thirty two years old,
Speaker 12: and if you go back in the history of major
Speaker 12: league shortstops, even in the last thirty years guys that
Speaker 12: have played that position their entire careers. After the age
Speaker 12: of thirty thirty one, the offense starts to decline because
Speaker 12: of the demands of the position. Anybody from Jeter to
Speaker 12: Tulowitzki to no mar Garciapara, they just don't age well
Speaker 12: at that position after thirty and their offense even right now,
Speaker 12: look at Dansby Swanson with the Cubs.
Speaker 4: His offense has.
Speaker 12: Completely dropped off ever since he turned age thirty one
Speaker 12: to thirty two. So you have to take it into consideration,
Speaker 12: and you just can't ignore the fact that he is
Speaker 12: trying to do something that no other player has ever done,
Speaker 12: a go from right field to shortstop, but also do
Speaker 12: it at age thirty two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's something that's been special to watch, but also
Speaker 6: something to see his offense kind of take a tinker
Speaker 6: down here this season, Dave.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
Speaker 6: We'll check back you with you in just a little
Speaker 6: bit as Dave checks in with Max Munci that's coming
Speaker 6: up in fifteen minutes up next, so we'll get your
Speaker 6: Dodgers magical moment as we're leading you up to first
Speaker 6: pitch on this Memorial Day. Dodgers and Guardians from Cleveland.

Speaker 6: Just to the right of the nineteen to fifty five
Speaker 6: World Series Championship banner.
Speaker 1: Four hundred and fifty feet.
Speaker 6: That home run from Shoho Tani last September against the
Speaker 6: Guardians was his forty sixth of the season at the
Speaker 6: time time a career high for home.

Speaker 6: Season long, Dodgers in Cleveland. As the road trip continue,
Speaker 6: starting a three game set on this Memorial Day against
Speaker 6: the Guardians Yoshinoba Yamamoto and Gavin Williams. The pitching matchup
Speaker 6: in this series opener first pitch from Progressive Field is
Speaker 6: coming up three.
Speaker 5: Ten and now joined by David Basse Here's la Dodgers
Speaker 5: broadcaster there and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 12: Rick Monday, the traveling man with the Dodgers. Ricky Nelson
Speaker 12: would be proud of you, Rick.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you what you should be here, David. We
Speaker 9: have the window closed for a pretty good reason. We
Speaker 9: have a infestation of little bugs that are flying around.
Speaker 9: So yeah, we're keeping the window closed until a few
Speaker 9: minutes before game time. And other than that, yeah, you're
Speaker 9: missing a lovely day. We actually see the sun. There's
Speaker 9: a little breeze coming in from center field at the
Speaker 9: present time. So yeah, one of the things that I
Speaker 9: just have to do. You and I were talking briefly
Speaker 9: off air. They've got to get their act together right
Speaker 9: now because losing two out of three in the manner
Speaker 9: in which they lost them into your against the Mets
Speaker 9: is not going to get it done. And in that
Speaker 9: series grounded into eight double plays, that's not going to
Speaker 9: get it done. Three of them yesterday, So they had
Speaker 9: two of the three games they hit into three double plays.
Speaker 9: The other one they hit into two. And for the Dodgers,
Speaker 9: the theme song continues is that they need to get
Speaker 9: some innings from their starting pitchers, and they've got the
Speaker 9: right guy on the mound tonight, that being Oshinobu Yamamoto,
Speaker 9: who is among the starters for this Dodger bulk club
Speaker 9: that has been able to stretch out the length of
Speaker 9: his starts.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and you talk about Yamamoto being one of the
Speaker 12: leading candidates for the cy Young so far this year.
Speaker 12: He answered the bell when the Dodgers needed him the
Speaker 12: last time, snapping a four game losing streak. They need
Speaker 12: him just as much tonight as well.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think if you look at Yamamoto, he
Speaker 9: clearly displays a command and a knowledge on how to pitch.
Speaker 9: I've sent this about a lot of good pitchers. We've
Speaker 9: said it a lot about Clayton, for example, in his
Speaker 9: brilliant career, is that he's a good observer also while
Speaker 9: he's pitching. About that, and I'm talking about observing and
Speaker 9: seeing what the swings are like does a hitter seem
Speaker 9: surprised by a certain pitch. Are they late on a
Speaker 9: certain pitch and being able to channel that into your
Speaker 9: memory bank and be able to use it regardless of what.
Speaker 2: Your pregame scout report may be showing.
Speaker 9: Because hitters are you know, you have good days, you
Speaker 9: have bad days, and some days you're just not clicking
Speaker 9: on all cylinders or as rapidly as you might. And
Speaker 9: for a picture to be able to observe that along
Speaker 9: with the catcher, that's very observant too. That's where you
Speaker 9: really see a pitcher do some surgery from the mountain
Speaker 9: sixty feet six inches away from home plate.
Speaker 12: Does Yamamoto stand out to you more these days, Rick,
Speaker 12: considering how many pitchers are throwers more than trying to
Speaker 12: do surgical work like Yamamoto.
Speaker 9: Dyes, I think so, because now what we are beginning
Speaker 9: to see, we have seen, at least in my estimation,
Speaker 9: more curveballs.
Speaker 2: Than maybe the splitters.
Speaker 9: That may have been just against a couple of teams
Speaker 9: that he did that, But I think that's an awareness
Speaker 9: that he has and it goes with feel too, because
Speaker 9: the last outing that we saw him on May twentieth,
Speaker 9: and that was against Arizona you know, he threw a
Speaker 9: lot of curveballs.
Speaker 2: And they were outstanding.
Speaker 9: In fact, I'm just looking at the score book and
Speaker 9: I purposely wrote down the fact his curveball was excellent.
Speaker 9: He went the seven innings, allowed no runs, only one hit. Yes,
Speaker 9: the pitch count was rather high, one hundred and ten,
Speaker 9: but I thought he was about as effective as we
Speaker 9: have seen him, and consistent is what we've seen him
Speaker 9: this year.
Speaker 12: The ballpark that the Dodgers and Guardians are playing yet
Speaker 12: is not the same Cleveland ballpark that Rick Monday used
Speaker 12: to play in. Do you have any fond memories of Cleveland.
Speaker 4: I'm sure they're far and few between.
Speaker 2: Fond memories, no memories.
Speaker 9: Yes, I mean that was a big ballpark, what they
Speaker 9: referred to as the Mistake by the Lake. It seated
Speaker 9: seventy thousand on opening day, you'd get a pretty good crowd,
Speaker 9: and on the second day of the season not so big.
Speaker 9: I remember one game I was talking to Dave Roberts
Speaker 9: and Oral Herscheizer on the bust of the ballpark in
Speaker 9: the short ride from the hotel today, and I said,
Speaker 9: you know, we played there years and years ago. At
Speaker 9: the end of the season. May have been the last
Speaker 9: series played of the year, and this was I think
Speaker 9: with the Kansas City as it may have been with
Speaker 9: the Oakland.
Speaker 2: A's not certain.
Speaker 9: But the crowd was so small that if a vendor
Speaker 9: dropped any coins we could tell from the dugout it
Speaker 9: was a nickel dimer quarter. I mean, it was just
Speaker 9: that quiet and the crowd was very small. This is
Speaker 9: also the new ballpark, but in the old one. This
Speaker 9: is the anniversary nineteen ninety three that Jose Consico went
Speaker 9: back on a fly ball that was hit by Carlos Martinez,
Speaker 9: and Conseko denied the fact that the ball hit his
Speaker 9: head and then bounced over the fence for home run. However,
Speaker 9: our friend Kevin Kennedy was the manager of the Texas Rangers,
Speaker 9: and even though he said, Knseco came back into the
Speaker 9: dugout and denied vehemently that the ballt ever hit him
Speaker 9: in the head. We got a video that shows it,
Speaker 9: and eventually Knseco did say he had the ball hit
Speaker 9: me on the head. He never touched it with the glove,
Speaker 9: hit him on the head, bounced over the fence, and
Speaker 9: he tried to say, no, it didn't hit me.
Speaker 4: The truth was always a challenge for Jose Canseco.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well there was a great line also, I should say
Speaker 9: a billboard in the old ballpark. If you remember, Leon
Speaker 9: Wagner years and years ago, played with the Angels left
Speaker 9: handed batter. He eventually went to the Cleveland Indians at
Speaker 9: the time. Well, he had a sign because he had
Speaker 9: a clothing store, and up on the sign it said.
Speaker 2: Buy your rags from Daddy Wags.
Speaker 9: And it gave the address and the phone number of
Speaker 9: his clothing store.
Speaker 12: Well, I guess, like you said, Rick, not fond memories,
Speaker 12: but memories in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well that's when nerew jackets were just coming into fashion.
Speaker 9: Fortunately they went out of fashion very quickly.
Speaker 4: Yes, thankfully, I don't even wear those.
Speaker 2: Rick. Oh, you probably have one somewhere in your closet.
Speaker 12: Thanks a lot, Rick. We'll check in with you and
Speaker 12: Tim Nevertt a little bit later. A lot of things
Speaker 12: going on early on there in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll send some bugs your way too.
Speaker 4: Appreciate it. We'll send it back to you at the studio.
Speaker 1: Tim, all right, thanks a lot, guys.

Speaker 5: This is high and tight.
Speaker 12: We're joining right now by a man that has been
Speaker 12: part of two Dodger World Series championships. He continues to
Speaker 12: be a guy they can lean on at the high corner,
Speaker 12: and that is the one and only Max Monsy. Max
Speaker 12: thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it, of.
Speaker 14: Course, David, anything for you.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that you.
Speaker 12: Got those beautiful sunglasses on now and it feels like
Speaker 12: the season is starting to go Max Monthsy's way.
Speaker 14: You know, all all I can do is just folks
Speaker 14: on the positives that I've had, and you just keep
Speaker 14: trying to build on that and move forward. And you
Speaker 14: know the most important thing to me is the team's
Speaker 14: playing well.
Speaker 2: I know we had a little bit of a skid.
Speaker 14: Last couple of games, but overall we're playing well, and
Speaker 14: you know that's the that's the end goal is for
Speaker 14: the team to do well.
Speaker 12: How big is it to get tom Yedman and Tioscar
Speaker 12: Hernandez back. It feels like the lineup now is more
Speaker 12: whole than when any of you guys are out of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Absolutely, it's a huge getting both them back. It feels
Speaker 14: like we really haven't played all season with you know,
Speaker 14: a full healthy lineup where guys are performing like themselves.
Speaker 14: You know, early on Freddie was out, Mookie was sick,
Speaker 14: and Tommy and too get hurt. I hadn't been playing
Speaker 14: like myself. We're still you know, Mikey's still coming around,
Speaker 14: and you know, we just we have not the full
Speaker 14: line of clicking on all cylinders yet and so you know,
Speaker 14: we're waiting to get to that point and we know
Speaker 14: once we do, we're really going to take off. But
Speaker 14: you know, until then, we're still playing pretty well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and your record's pretty good too.
Speaker 12: When you look at it, it might be kind of
Speaker 12: scary for the rest of the league with everything that
Speaker 12: you just said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know that is that is the hope.
Speaker 14: You know, hopefully we just get that lengthen there we
Speaker 14: can start getting some guys some days off, you know,
Speaker 14: keep us healthy in the long run. And you know
Speaker 14: it's always an important thing is try to get to
Speaker 14: October healthy.
Speaker 12: Can I take you back to the NLCS and your
Speaker 12: Major league record of getting on base twelve consecutive times, Like,
Speaker 12: when you're in that type of zone seeing the ball
Speaker 12: as well as you were seeing it, does any of
Speaker 12: that factor into you that hey, I might be doing
Speaker 12: something here.
Speaker 14: Yeah, when when the ball slows down for you, that's
Speaker 14: when you know you're you're in a good spot. You
Speaker 14: know you're able to recognize everything, You feel like you're
Speaker 14: able to get your swing off on everything. That's a
Speaker 14: it's a really good spot to be in. There's not
Speaker 14: many times at the course the season where you get
Speaker 14: in that zone. And so for me, that was a
Speaker 14: great time to be in it. Uh wish I could
Speaker 14: have kept it going, but you know that's that's the
Speaker 14: nature of it. And you know, for me, it was
Speaker 14: just important to be on basically that many times for
Speaker 14: my teammates to drop me in and you know, help,
Speaker 14: let's get that series win.
Speaker 4: Isn't that the value of max month?
Speaker 12: See, we always look at the results, but what you
Speaker 12: do as part of this whole lineup, like in the NLCS,
Speaker 12: how much pride do you take in knowing your value.
Speaker 14: I take a lot of pride in knowing that I
Speaker 14: can be the guy that allows everyone else to be themselves.
Speaker 14: You know, if guys want to swing first pitch, attack early,
Speaker 14: they know they can do that if they got me
Speaker 14: in front of them or behind them, knowing that if
Speaker 14: I need to, I can work the bat make the picture,
Speaker 14: throw a bunch of pitches. That way, the inning doesn't
Speaker 14: get too lopsided in their favor. And it's something that
Speaker 14: I've I've really taken a lot of pride in, and
Speaker 14: you know, I know that's what my value is here,
Speaker 14: is to just be that guy that gives the lineup
Speaker 14: so much length and you know, just doesn't make it
Speaker 14: easy on the pitture. Even if it's now, it's still
Speaker 14: not an easy out. And that's, you know, something I've
Speaker 14: always always taken pride in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a they called it a lineup for a reason.
Speaker 4: It's not just you on an island.
Speaker 14: It feels like that when you're in the batters box sometimes,
Speaker 14: but yeah, it is nine guys.
Speaker 4: You know, it's up and down.
Speaker 14: You know, you're you're really trying to get you know,
Speaker 14: the opposing pitcher to throw a lot of pitches, get out.
Speaker 2: Of the game.
Speaker 14: You're trying to get some runs on the board. And
Speaker 14: it is a group effort. It's not just one guy,
Speaker 14: even though it does kind of feel like it sometimes.
Speaker 12: Max Munsey is our guest before I Let You Go.
Speaker 12: I spoke to Joe Tory a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 12: He was the manager that led the Yankees to back
Speaker 12: to back World Series championships twenty five years ago, and
Speaker 12: you said, the biggest message he had to those teams
Speaker 12: was not to admire what you had done the year before.
Speaker 12: Do you feel like this group has done a pretty
Speaker 12: good job of not admiring what you did last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 14: You know, part of that was going to Japan this year.
Speaker 14: You you don't have a ton of time in the offseason.
Speaker 14: You know, the whole point, the whole goal was to
Speaker 14: be playing late until October November, and then that means
Speaker 14: you have a really short offseason, and then for us
Speaker 14: going to Span with and even shorter offseason. So I
Speaker 14: don't think a lot of guys had a ton of
Speaker 14: time to kind of sit there and reflect on, you know,
Speaker 14: last year. It's always a little tough when you know
Speaker 14: you're you're you're playing teams that have guys from the
Speaker 14: team last year, and you're doing ring ceremonies and you know,
Speaker 14: you're wearing the jerseys you got all this other stuff,
Speaker 14: and it's hard not to admire it sometimes. But I
Speaker 14: think for a lot of us, we've just you know,
Speaker 14: stay focused on taking it one day at a time.
Speaker 14: And I think that's also the beauty of having an
Speaker 14: older team that we know we have a lot of
Speaker 14: guys that know how to just, you know, you take
Speaker 14: this season one day at a time, and you know
Speaker 14: what what you did the day yes, you know yesterday,
Speaker 14: the day before, that doesn't really matter what you think
Speaker 14: you might do tomorrow, it doesn't matter. All that matter
Speaker 14: is what you're gonna do today. And that was the
Speaker 14: message we've always been trying to, you know, Preacher, is
Speaker 14: what can you do today to help the team win?
Speaker 14: And you know, when the day's over, you flush it
Speaker 14: and you move on to the next day.
Speaker 4: Be where your feet are.
Speaker 12: Maximuncy always is thanks a lot for the time, and
Speaker 12: you mean a lot to this team. And you mean
Speaker 12: a lot to Los Angeles. So keep it going and
Speaker 12: stay healthy.
Speaker 4: Appreciate David there.
Speaker 12: He is the man, Max Munsey, and he'll receive a
Speaker 12: gift card to Javiers.
Speaker 4: Yes that Hobviers. He's not taking me.
Speaker 12: There's a new location in downtown you might see Monsey.
Speaker 12: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1: Tim, all right, thanks a lot, Damn, thanks a lot.
Speaker 4: Max.

Speaker 6: him Big Rig because he's six six, two fifty said
Speaker 6: his third season in the big leagues this year, he's
Speaker 6: becoming mostly a fastball as sweeper pitcher. Making his eleven
Speaker 6: start this year in the month of May two to
Speaker 6: zero with the two to twenty five ERA and four
Speaker 6: starts last time outs six innings, one run, two hits,
Speaker 6: six punchouts in a win over the Twins. This is
Speaker 6: his third career start against the Dodgers. He's zero to
Speaker 6: two with an eighteen Rora. Last time the Dodgers saw
Speaker 6: him last September at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: He failed to make it out of the first in.
Speaker 6: He gave up five earned runs on two hits and
Speaker 6: walk three in two thirds of an in his shortest
Speaker 6: start of his career. Yoshinobu Yama Modo on the mound
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers five and three, one eighty six ERRA.
Speaker 6: The twenty six year old leads the National league and
Speaker 6: opponent's Battian Average opponents slug opponents OPS and ranks amongst
Speaker 6: the national leaders and ERA whip opponents OBB and strikeouts.

Speaker 6: hundred and ten pitches. Yoshinobu Yamamoto Gavin Williams Dodgers Guardians
Speaker 6: from Cleveland. We're fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 1: Keys to the game. Our next, I'm Tim Kasey's the
Speaker 1: world champion. Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 5: for the Blue all season Loft.
Speaker 6: It's Dodgers and the Guardians on the Memorial Day. Yoshinobu
Speaker 6: Yamamoto and Gavin Williams the pitching matchup in this series opener,
Speaker 6: as the East Coast road trip continued through the Dodgers
Speaker 6: after dropping two or three in New York over the
Speaker 6: weekend to the Mets. Dodgers now in Cleveland, first pitch
Speaker 6: coming up at three ten Before that, though, we head
Speaker 6: back out to the booth. Two guys on the call
Speaker 6: for this one, Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Tim, thanks very much. We count you down
Speaker 8: to the first pitch Here at Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 8: The flags are at half staff on this Memorial Day
Speaker 8: in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and
Speaker 8: we remember them here today as well. Dodgers will send
Speaker 8: Yoshinobu Yamamoto to them on. He is the ace of
Speaker 8: the staff and the Dodgers looking for a lot of
Speaker 8: length out of him after he took a no hitter
Speaker 8: into the seventh in his last start against the Arizona Diamondback.
Speaker 9: One of the notes that I made after that start
Speaker 9: the last time against Arizona's you're referring to is that
Speaker 9: I wrote down he threw a very high percentage of
Speaker 9: curb bows in comparison to what we normally see with
Speaker 9: the split finger fastball.
Speaker 2: Is that something that he has believed in?
Speaker 9: Is that something we're going to see now continue on
Speaker 9: and even build up a little bit more. One thing
Speaker 9: about it for Yamamoto, he's allowed just a one seventy
Speaker 9: two batting average against him. That's the best in the
Speaker 9: National League of all starters. So if you're a hitter,
Speaker 9: you'd better take opportunities if you get a pitch to
Speaker 9: hit because he's not allowed too many of them.
Speaker 8: Especially if you're a lefty left he's only hitting one
Speaker 8: twenty eight against him. The key tonight for Yamamotos going
Speaker 8: to be the Dodgers need to get some runs for him.
Speaker 8: His run support average is the second worst and major
Speaker 8: League Baseball only two point one seven runs per game
Speaker 8: when he's in the ball game.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man.
Speaker 9: The other part too, is how to get runs. And
Speaker 9: if you're looking at Gavin Williams, I mean the last
Speaker 9: three starts, he's two and oh with an ERA barely
Speaker 9: above one and a half. He's turned it around because
Speaker 9: the first four starts that he had his ERA was
Speaker 9: well over six. He's dialed it back in very well.
Speaker 8: Gavin Williams has reintroduced the two seamer into his repertoire.
Speaker 8: Hasn't used it for most of the season, but he
Speaker 8: plans on using it to night against the Dodgers. Gavin
Speaker 8: Williams and Yoshanobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers and the Guardians coming
Speaker 8: up from Cleveland.
Speaker 6: Tim all Right, Dodgers looking to get back on track
Speaker 6: with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. But first things first,
Speaker 6: they gotta get after Gavin Williams, a big right hander
Speaker 6: for the Guardians who's been tough at home this season.
Speaker 1: That progressive field first pitch is next, Tim and Vassain's
Speaker 1: got your cover for all the postgame.
Speaker 6: When it's when is over enjoyed everybody. I'm Tim Katson.
Speaker 6: This is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers. All you'll
Speaker 6: know where
