Speaker 1: And now your host for Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tech
Speaker 1: tam Case.
Speaker 2: Hi everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: Hope you're well on this Sunday morning. As your Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers continue this long road trip. There's seventy two
Speaker 2: and fifty two overall first place atop.
Speaker 3: The NL West, but the lead down to two.
Speaker 2: Over San Diego, three over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers,
Speaker 2: after splitting four in Milwaukee to start this road trip,
Speaker 2: have now split the first two games in Saint Louis
Speaker 2: with the Cardinals. Today, the final game of the road trip,
Speaker 2: rubber game of this three game series in the lou
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw on the Mount. First pitch from Bush Stadium
Speaker 2: is coming up at eleven fifteen. Coming up over the
Speaker 2: next hour here on Maronggo Casino Dodgers on Deck, you're
Speaker 2: gonna hear from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts. We'll dive
Speaker 2: deeper into today's pitching matchup with Clayton Kershaw on the Mount.
Speaker 3: David Vase will join us throughout the show with the
Speaker 3: very latest.
Speaker 2: He'll go one on one with Gavin Stone the first
Speaker 2: Dodger pitcher to ten wins this season. He'll be on
Speaker 2: the Mount tomorrow night for the opener of the homestand
Speaker 2: in just a few minutes we'll head out to the
Speaker 2: Gallpit Motors Broadcast booth and check in with Rick Monday
Speaker 2: and Tim Neverwell. Last night in Saint Louis, it was
Speaker 2: definitely not Miller time. As the Cardinals down the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller got the start, his first since getting recalled
Speaker 2: from TRIPLEA. He'd go four and two thirty eight and
Speaker 2: to give up four runs on eight hits while striking
Speaker 2: out just one batter. The Dodgers did give him the
Speaker 2: early lead. Top of the first Freddy Freeman, oh.
Speaker 4: Two to Freeman and Polante set in the stretch. Now
Speaker 4: he deals home and Freddy hits the ground ball up
Speaker 4: the middle of base hit one nothing Dodgers as o'tany
Speaker 4: comes underscore.
Speaker 2: RBI number seventy two for Freddy Dodgers. I've won to nothing. However,
Speaker 2: that lead didn't last long. The Cardinals got back that run.
Speaker 2: In the bottom of the first. Wilson catres the RBI
Speaker 2: single and the game was tied and won. And the
Speaker 2: third Alec Burlson a two run home run to write
Speaker 2: off Bobby Miller Cardinals with a three to one lead
Speaker 2: in the top of the fifth. The Dodgers would ship
Speaker 2: away at that deficit. Show Hey Otania blasts on.
Speaker 4: Pitch from Polonte to Otani. These swings hits a drive
Speaker 4: to write and deep. This ball's back and it is
Speaker 4: gone into the bullpen. A line drive home run for
Speaker 4: show Hey o' tony, It's three to two. Home run
Speaker 4: number thirty eight for Otani.
Speaker 2: Show Hey goes Deep, number thirty eight that leads the
Speaker 2: National League Dodgers down three to two. The Cardinals, however,
Speaker 2: got that run back in the bottom of the inning.
Speaker 2: Mason went a solo home run again off Bobby Miller
Speaker 2: that extended the Cardinals lead as they were up for
Speaker 2: to two. Bobby Miller pitched into the fifth inning, gave
Speaker 2: up the four runs, a couple of home runs eight hits.
Speaker 2: Ryan Brazier came in win an inning into third. He
Speaker 2: pitched a couple of shutout innings after that. Brent Honeywell
Speaker 2: got the seventh and eighth. He wouldn't close it out clean, though,
Speaker 2: giving up a solo home run to Nolan Aaron nightto
Speaker 2: Cardinals go on and beat the Dodgers last night, five
Speaker 2: to two. Andrew Polonte wins seven innings along just two
Speaker 2: runs on four hits. He gets the win, Bobby Miller
Speaker 2: gets the loss. He falls to one in three. Dodgers
Speaker 2: also lose Freddie Freeman. Jammed Finger left the game last night.
Speaker 2: X rays were negative, but he's not feeling good today.
Speaker 2: It's even worse and he's not in the lineup today
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. Instead, Keiky Hernandez gets the start at
Speaker 2: first base. More on that coming up throughout the show.
Speaker 2: Dodgers now seventy two and fifty two, they're lead down
Speaker 2: to two in the division and they give the ball
Speaker 2: to Clayton Kershaw today First Bitch and Bush Stadium. This
Speaker 2: is coming up at eleven to fifteen and with more.
Speaker 2: Let's head out to the gapin Motors Broadcast booth as
Speaker 2: we say good morning to Rick Monday and Tim Never guys.
Speaker 5: Tim, thanks very much.
Speaker 4: Gorgeous Sunday afternoon here, temperatures in the upper seventies, bright
Speaker 4: blue skies, white puffy clouds off for the distance, and
Speaker 4: the Dodgers and Cardinals getting set to play the rubber
Speaker 4: game of this three game set at Bush Stadium. Dodgers
Speaker 4: have won four of six against Saint Louis this season.
Speaker 4: Dodgers start the day seventy two and fifty two, twenty
Speaker 4: games above five hundred, two games up on the Padres
Speaker 4: in the National League West, three games up on Arizona.
Speaker 4: In the meantime, the Cardinals sixty one and sixty two,
Speaker 4: a game under five hundred and ten back of the
Speaker 4: Central Division leading Milwaukee Breweries. Clayton Kershaw one in two
Speaker 4: and a three to five o Era makes his fifth
Speaker 4: start of the season today. He'll go against veteran right
Speaker 4: handers Sonny Gray, who makes his third start. Ray in
Speaker 4: the first year of a three year contract with the
Speaker 4: Cardinals and last night Paul a little disappointing for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: They couldn't manage more than two runs. Andre Polante pitched
Speaker 4: one of the best games he's had as a Major leaguer,
Speaker 4: and Ryan Helsley came out to close his major league
Speaker 4: leading thirty eighth game and it was all said and done,
Speaker 4: The Dodgers only managed four hits in the ball game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was kind of weird because we talked before
Speaker 6: the ball game the Dodgers when they score first, as
Speaker 6: they did last night. They put a run on the
Speaker 6: board with the Freddie Freeman RBI single in that very
Speaker 6: first inning. The Dodgers entered the game fifty three and
Speaker 6: thirteen for the season when they scored first. Not to
Speaker 6: be in last night's contest. Freddy Freeman also is not
Speaker 6: in the lineup. Took a hard smash in the sixth
Speaker 6: inning in last night's ballgame. We start to look at
Speaker 6: this road trip has been somewhat disappointing. The Dodgers field
Speaker 6: that they gave away to each of the last two
Speaker 6: games in Milwaukee. Last night they were just flat out
Speaker 6: beaten a very good pitching matchup, as you were talking about.
Speaker 6: But on this road trip, now, this is a six
Speaker 6: games into this road trip. This will complete it with
Speaker 6: the seventh game. But the bullpen has worked twenty two
Speaker 6: and the third innings already on this road trip. The
Speaker 6: bullpen is tired and they needed a reinforcement.
Speaker 4: And Casparius is here to be that reinforcement. He will
Speaker 4: be a long reliever. He's been a starter, a converted
Speaker 4: position player out of the University of Connecticut. But Casparius,
Speaker 4: who has pitched both a double A and TRIPLEA this season,
Speaker 4: somewhat of a strikeout artist, and more than likely we'll
Speaker 4: see him in the ball game today, but he will
Speaker 4: make his major league debut when he does come in.
Speaker 4: As far as first base goes today, key Key Hernandez
Speaker 4: moves across the diamond, Rojas will have.
Speaker 6: To play third Okay, he's going to play third base,
Speaker 6: and Nick Ahmed will be at shortstop position. Gavin Lux,
Speaker 6: who's really been hitting well, in fact, he's moved the
Speaker 6: average almost to two point fifty right now, as well
Speaker 6: below that at the All Star break, but Lux will
Speaker 6: bat in the number three position, the Oscar Hernanez will
Speaker 6: bat in the number four spots, and the Dodgers have
Speaker 6: to figure out how to get to Sunny Gray. They
Speaker 6: have seen him in the past, They've seen him a lot.
Speaker 6: A couple of guys have had some very good success
Speaker 6: against him. And for Sunny Gray, we'll see how he
Speaker 6: is going to pitch this Dodger ball club. And for
Speaker 6: the Cardinals, if they snapped that five game losing streak
Speaker 6: last night and they were like nothing better than to
Speaker 6: win the series against the Dodgers, and.
Speaker 4: For sure, hey Otani, he's getting closer to a pretty
Speaker 4: big milestone. He needs two more home runs and three
Speaker 4: more stolen bases to become the dodgers first ever forty
Speaker 4: four man is fifty to fifty within reach. You need
Speaker 4: twelve home runs and thirteen stolen bases for that.
Speaker 5: So stay tuned.
Speaker 4: You never know with shoe Heey Otani, who's due to
Speaker 4: really heat up at some point in time, maybe starting
Speaker 4: today Clayton Kershaw at one and two, we'll take on
Speaker 4: a Sonny Gray of the Cardinals. As Gray comes in
Speaker 4: with a record of eleven and seven and an era
Speaker 4: just under four, we're counting it out of the first
Speaker 4: pitch in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3: Tim all right, as we count you down.

Speaker 4: One O pitch to Freeman from Polante. There goes Otani

Speaker 2: Tani shoe Hey Otani, last night goes one for three
Speaker 2: on base twice. You heard the two stolen bases, the
Speaker 2: home run number thirty eight. He's now getting closer to
Speaker 2: the forty forty club thirty eight home runs, thirty seven
Speaker 2: stolen bases. You go, tany rewind brought to you by

Speaker 3: That's I T O e N dot com.
Speaker 2: Well, last night, the Dodgers gave the ball to Bobby Miller,
Speaker 2: hoping he would have something different than he had the
Speaker 2: first time around before getting sit down to Triple A
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. He pitched into the fifth inning, four and
Speaker 2: two thirds innings, four runs, eight hits, a couple of
Speaker 2: home runs. He gets tagged with the loss as the
Speaker 2: Cardinals went at five to two, and afterwards spoke to
Speaker 2: David Masse.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I've obviously been working on a lot,
Speaker 8: but I mean the biggest thing was marking on delivery
Speaker 8: and stuff like that, like mechanics.
Speaker 9: Trying to get theveloscity back.
Speaker 8: Might have been chasing that a little bit too much
Speaker 8: instead of just if you're pitching. You know, I can
Speaker 8: build off off of tonight as well. You know, really
Speaker 8: just tonight it was just falling behind a couple of
Speaker 8: guys like two oho, two to one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, one of the homers.
Speaker 8: I thought I got very inside, but you know it's
Speaker 8: two h count there's no excuse for that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, just falling behind.
Speaker 8: You know, I feel like I probably got ahead of
Speaker 8: a lot more betters today. Strike one, get oh one
Speaker 8: would have been a completely different ball game. But yeah,
Speaker 8: delivery fell lot better, you know, walks her down, but
Speaker 8: still falling behind the counts.
Speaker 9: So have a losts like ninety nine ish and the
Speaker 9: first game kind of dipped up from there?
Speaker 5: Is that just sort of thing out of your delivery
Speaker 5: sort of?
Speaker 8: I think, you know, I've just had a lot of
Speaker 8: time in between these last few audings, silly building endurance
Speaker 8: back up right now. My arm felt great the whole
Speaker 8: time throughout, so you know, could have just been like
Speaker 8: first game back jitters a little bit, had a little
Speaker 8: bit today, but you know I felt good. Just fell
Speaker 8: behind some hitters and thanks time out there. You know,
Speaker 8: just folcus on getting to strike one and it'll be a
Speaker 8: different ball games.
Speaker 9: Have you guys been able to like decay for like,
Speaker 9: why me don't speak a man who hasn't lacked the there.
Speaker 8: That for you this year really just pulling off towards
Speaker 8: the first day side a little bit, you know on
Speaker 8: the slider. Those pulled sliders really just came from like
Speaker 8: pulling off, you know, trying to focus too much down
Speaker 8: in the way instead of think keeping the line middle
Speaker 8: and making it look more like a strike the whole time. Now,
Speaker 8: my last outing the slider was uh a lot better.
Speaker 8: I wasn't really yanking at that much. Yeah, definitely could
Speaker 8: have thrown the change up a little more tonight as well.
Speaker 8: It wasn't there in the beginning of the game, but
Speaker 8: towards the end it felt really good. Kind of some
Speaker 8: swing and misses on it, but they also had some
Speaker 8: really good takes on some change ups as well, So
Speaker 8: you got a tip the cap on that. When we
Speaker 8: had the factors team able to commere the secondary stuff
Speaker 8: been this year leading to some of these trouble you know,
Speaker 8: towards the end of the game, I thought it was
Speaker 8: a little bit better. Really only really had the curve
Speaker 8: ball at the end of the game and the change up.
Speaker 8: But if I had that change up in the.
Speaker 9: Beginning of the game.
Speaker 8: I think it would have been a different story as well,
Speaker 8: showing different speeds and stuff instead of just selling a
Speaker 8: lot of high glossy fastballs.
Speaker 3: That's pretty much it, all right, there's Bobby Miller last night.

Speaker 2: the manager, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Cardinals on
Speaker 2: this Sunday, first pitch at eleven ten. I'm Tim Kats's

Speaker 1: This is Wrongo Casino Dodgers Hunting on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Causino. Dodgers on Deck continues on this Sunday in
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Resort and spat a Grand Slam or Good
Speaker 2: Times Dodgers and Cardinals from Saint Louis. First pitch coming
Speaker 2: up at eleven fifteen.
Speaker 7: He's the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Injury report presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner of
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Freddie Freeman not in the lineup today,
Speaker 2: jammed mental finger on his right throwing hand, arnest throwing hand.
Speaker 2: That is more on that. With Dave Roberts coming up,
Speaker 2: he's not able to grip a bat. Dave will have
Speaker 2: more on the status of Freddie. Also what that means
Speaker 2: for Max Munsey and Tommy Edmond, who are supposed to
Speaker 2: join the Dodgers Monday and Tuesday in the series against
Speaker 2: the Mariners. Tyler Glass now on the iel at the
Speaker 2: right elbow ten to night is the Bruce dar gratterol
Speaker 2: on the iel the right hamstring string. Chris Taylor on
Speaker 2: a rehab assignment. He's out at the groin string Blake
Speaker 2: trying to expect it to come back on this next
Speaker 2: homestand after having right hip discomfort.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get the.
Speaker 2: Final word in here from the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: Dave, do you think questions for Dave.
Speaker 6: Dave, can you just describe can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 7: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts?
Speaker 9: What's Freddy stuff?
Speaker 10: Freddie's status is day to day. We had an X
Speaker 10: ray take in last night and nothing was there. It
Speaker 10: was negative, but we are going to get a CT
Speaker 10: skin just to kind of get some more information. It
Speaker 10: feels worse today than it did yesterday, which is certainly telling.
Speaker 10: So I think obviously today it doesn't look good for
Speaker 10: him to play, and tomorrow it's it's more day to
Speaker 10: day and we'll see. It'll be back in La does worse,
Speaker 10: it does, it does the swelling, it just sort of
Speaker 10: blew up, and then there's some throbbing, which which also
Speaker 10: is part of that whole process. I guess try about
Speaker 10: ny he did last night, but today, you know, even
Speaker 10: just the regular things of getting to get getting the
Speaker 10: day started, we're we're a little bit difficult for him.
Speaker 9: What's the concern level.
Speaker 10: With that concern level at this point in time, not
Speaker 10: too concerning. I think at some point it is going
Speaker 10: to be a per tolerant situation. But right now you
Speaker 10: can can't really grip a bat, so it's pretty mood
Speaker 10: right now. But I don't think overall it's that big
Speaker 10: of a concern at this point.
Speaker 11: And would that change the plans when to activate Mondsey
Speaker 11: to tomorrow instead of Tuesday.
Speaker 10: It's a it's a thought. So we are having Max
Speaker 10: take some ground balls today over there and okay, see
Speaker 10: we will get them to Los Angeles tonight, so with
Speaker 10: the possibility of activation on Monday.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but you say ground ball on the first phase.
Speaker 10: Yeah, if if we need him to play first, we
Speaker 10: can do that too. Mme just to just to cover us.
Speaker 10: If Freddy's thing is a little bit longer than needed,
Speaker 10: you know, then.
Speaker 9: It's record and Tommy ms also for tomorrow.
Speaker 10: Tommy will be tomorrow for sure, and so and having him,
Speaker 10: you know, play anywhere on the diamond is certainly hopeful.
Speaker 12: What to say went into the decision with Honeywell and Testa.
Speaker 9: And what do you know about those days?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know much about Casparius Honeywell. That was
Speaker 10: a tough one. He came here and he pitched some
Speaker 10: huge innings for us. It's just one of those things
Speaker 10: where you don't have any he doesn't have options, so
Speaker 10: you have to make a move. There's whether it's the
Speaker 10: twenty six man, the forty man, and then today where
Speaker 10: we're at. We just needed the length and leverage were covered.
Speaker 10: But in a game, in a big plus or a
Speaker 10: minus game to be able to come out of it
Speaker 10: feeling like you are equipped for Seattle. It was import
Speaker 10: or that everyone isn't use if they don't need to be.
Speaker 5: Is Caspirius just coverage for today? Where is their possibility
Speaker 5: of him starting.
Speaker 9: This upcoming week?
Speaker 10: It's covered for today and beyond. You know we're gonna
Speaker 10: go with our regular starters, so't it's not about a
Speaker 10: start now?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: There's Dave Roberts talking about Freddie Freeman and Brent Honeywell
Speaker 2: getting dfa'd and Ben Casparius, a fifth round pick in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one getting called up and available to pitch
Speaker 2: today if needed.
Speaker 3: Brought to you by Service Titan.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts say, tightening his own right and he's got
Speaker 2: a plan before His team is the field. You need
Speaker 2: one for your growing contracting business too. Let Service Titan
Speaker 2: help you implement it. Learn more at service Titan dot com. Well,
Speaker 2: we continue here on Dodgers on Deck checking out what
Speaker 2: David Va say is we're leading you up to first
Speaker 2: pitch Dodgers and Cardinals from Saint Louis. I'm Tim Kats's
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: This is my Wrongo Casino Dodgers on TACHA on your
Speaker 7: home for the Blue All.
Speaker 2: Season Law Law Dodgers and Cardinals on this Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: final game of this three game series, Final game of
Speaker 2: this seven game road trip. Clayton Kershaw on the mound.
Speaker 2: The umpiring crew for today's game brought to you my
Speaker 2: Fred Loyer Insurance, celebrating fifty years of providing reliable and
Speaker 2: affordable car insurance for you and your family. First pitch
Speaker 2: and Bush Stadium coming up at eleven fifteen.
Speaker 7: Joining Tim kats on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 7: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 9: All right, DV.
Speaker 2: Final game of this road trip, Layton Kershaw on the
Speaker 2: mount and for Kersh, I imagine the Dodgers would love
Speaker 2: to see him build on what he did last time
Speaker 2: out right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 11: It feels like ever since his poor start in San Diego,
Speaker 11: he has gotten back on track.
Speaker 5: Today I saw him. He's ready to go as usual.
Speaker 11: Kershaw Day stocking the clubhouse yesterday and the previous days
Speaker 11: leading up to today.
Speaker 5: Tim he's been in great spirits, so he's.
Speaker 11: Going to fight through whatever little aches and pains. But
Speaker 11: the one thing that he has continued to say, no
Speaker 11: matter if the start hasn't been up to his standards
Speaker 11: or not, is.
Speaker 5: That his shoulder feels great. That's not an issue.
Speaker 11: It's not an issue as far as pitch count goes either,
Speaker 11: So that's up to Dave Roberts and his discretion on
Speaker 11: the flow of the game. But today is very hot
Speaker 11: and steamy here at Bush Stadium. It's going to be
Speaker 11: very hot on the field, so that's something else to
Speaker 11: keep in mind.
Speaker 5: It's funny.
Speaker 11: After Kershaw's win first of the season in Milwaukee, we
Speaker 11: were talking and he said, yeah, I got the day
Speaker 11: game in Saint Louis on Sunday.
Speaker 5: I'll be ready.
Speaker 2: He'll be ready, and no doubt the Dodgers looking for
Speaker 2: him to do something like he did last time out.
Speaker 2: David was driven by Ford. If there's one thing we
Speaker 2: like his choice, this fine yours with the Ford F
Speaker 2: one to fifty gas hybrid all electric, tough. This mark
Speaker 2: I only be called F one point fifty the Dodgers
Speaker 2: starting to get players back.
Speaker 3: David, We've been knewing this was coming, and.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow the Dodgers are gonna have to make some more
Speaker 2: roster moves and they're gonna have to make some room
Speaker 2: on this twenty six man roster, and.
Speaker 11: It feels like that's the reason why they're not activating
Speaker 11: Tommy Edmund and Max Munsey tomorrow. The plan is for
Speaker 11: Tommy Edmund to be active for tomorrow's game and start
Speaker 11: in center field for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: On Tuesday, Max Mounsey returns.
Speaker 11: As well, and Dave Roberts actually mentioned this a few
Speaker 11: days ago. The Dodgers do not foresee themselves facing many
Speaker 11: left handed pitchers, so that means Max Mounsey is going
Speaker 11: to get a long runway here at third base. Now
Speaker 11: here's the not only the roster decisions. We can get
Speaker 11: to that in a second, but also when Max Monsey
Speaker 11: comes back on Tuesday, Key k Hernandez has been playing
Speaker 11: elite defense at third base and the bat has caught
Speaker 11: up now ever since he.
Speaker 5: Got his eyes fixed, So that's some interesting as well.
Speaker 11: But as far as the roster crunch goes, you know
Speaker 11: you're looking at a guy like Nick Ahmed or Andy
Speaker 11: Piez on the position group side that may that may
Speaker 11: be sent out. There's a good chance Nick Ahmed is
Speaker 11: designated for assignment because Tommy Edmund not only plays great
Speaker 11: defense in center field, he plays great defense at shortstop.
Speaker 5: So you have Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 11: Tommy Edmund, and if you really need another shortstop, you
Speaker 11: have keik A Hernandez.
Speaker 5: So that makes Nick Ahmed a.
Speaker 11: Guy that is all glove and really not much bat
Speaker 11: the odd man out as you just kind of handicap
Speaker 11: their roster. Now, when Max Munsey comes back, that's a
Speaker 11: greater question. Does Andy Paiz, who has options, be sent
Speaker 11: down to Oklahoma City for the remainder of August until
Speaker 11: September rosters expand by two or do the Dodgers feel
Speaker 11: like Jason Hayward's back is acting up.
Speaker 5: He hasn't looked.
Speaker 11: Like himself or close to himself from what we saw
Speaker 11: a year ago, and he's been battling back issues all
Speaker 11: season long. So I feel like those are the three
Speaker 11: position players on the bubble. I would be shocked if
Speaker 11: Kevin Kiermeyer is the odd man out. How could you
Speaker 11: justify sending Kevin Kiermeyer back to the waiver wire with
Speaker 11: the way he's not only played defense but also his
Speaker 11: back to ball skills.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just don't see that move being a possibility. All right, Dave,
Speaker 3: how about this rotation?
Speaker 2: River Ryan's out, Tyler Glass now is on the il.
Speaker 2: Now what does this rotation look like starting with this
Speaker 2: Mariners series tomorrow night.
Speaker 11: Well, it starts with our pregame guest today, Gavin Stone,
Speaker 11: who is the only ten game winner in this Dodger rotation.
Speaker 5: Think about that.
Speaker 11: Tyler Glass now got the big money, Yoshiyamamoto got the
Speaker 11: big money and has barely pitched, and it's young Gavin
Speaker 11: Stone that leads the Dodgers with ten wins. So he
Speaker 11: will pitch tomorrow against the Mariners, followed by Walker Bueller
Speaker 11: and Jack Flaherty. Luckily for the Dodgers, they have a
Speaker 11: day off on Thursday and that will provide that day

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Basseying. Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Rickets Kershaw day.
Speaker 11: They got the right guy again on the mound to
Speaker 11: try to win a series. I guess it always seems
Speaker 11: to be no matter how good you think certain guys are,
Speaker 11: the Dodgers always come back needing a great performance from Kershaw.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they can use it, you know you and
Speaker 6: I have been keeping track of usage also by the
Speaker 6: bullpen and a very disappointing outing last night by Bobby Miller,
Speaker 6: who was inconsistent, fell behind a lot of hitters, had
Speaker 6: four wild pitches that really led to runs. And if
Speaker 6: we look at this pitching staff. Now, the bullpen on
Speaker 6: this road trip for the Dodgers have played six games,
Speaker 6: they've split, they're three and three. The bullpen has had
Speaker 6: to work twenty two and a third inning and that's
Speaker 6: a very heavy workload because last night, entering the ball game,
Speaker 6: it was already a very heavy workload.
Speaker 11: And you talk about the trickle down effect, right Rick yesterday,
Speaker 11: Tyler Glass now cannot make the start. They have to
Speaker 11: call out Bobby Miller, who has had his struggles. They
Speaker 11: have to use Brent Honeywell, and now the Dodgers need
Speaker 11: a fresh arm. And Brent Honeywell, who is so good,
Speaker 11: unfortunately gets crunched by the roster.
Speaker 6: And it's a numbers game, and yeah, he got caught
Speaker 6: in the crunch. There's going to be roster changes each
Speaker 6: of the next two days on Monday and Tuesday, because
Speaker 6: you've got Edna's going to come back and then Munsey
Speaker 6: is going to come back. Those are two back to
Speaker 6: back days. Looking forward to that tomorrow and again on Tuesday,
Speaker 6: that's going to necessitate each of those days at least
Speaker 6: one roster change. Don't know if there's going to be
Speaker 6: other ones, and there are other guys on the horizon.
Speaker 6: I mean, you look at Walker Buehler, he pitched the
Speaker 6: other night in Las Vegas. He's getting closer and closer
Speaker 6: to maybe coming back on top of it. So there's
Speaker 6: a lot of different things. Chris Taylor started the other
Speaker 6: night also, he's getting closer and closer. So yeah, there's
Speaker 6: going to be some changes as we look over the
Speaker 6: next week to ten days possibly.
Speaker 11: I guess we're looking a little bit ahead to Tuesday
Speaker 11: when Mondsey is activated. The Dodgers have missed what he
Speaker 11: does so well, seeing a lot of pitches. But with
Speaker 11: the way Key k Hernandez is playing at third base,
Speaker 11: do you feel like maybe it is a platoon situation now.
Speaker 6: Well, I would think at least at the get go,
Speaker 6: it's going to be that way. Kk Hernandez has really
Speaker 6: kind of earned and look see on that end of it,
Speaker 6: from what he has done from the defensive standpoint, he's
Speaker 6: in there today, not at third base. He's at first
Speaker 6: base because yesterday in the sixth ending a sharply hit
Speaker 6: ball down to first base damaged the finger of Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 6: We understand it's going to be on just a day
Speaker 6: to day basis. It had a brief, brief chat with
Speaker 6: Freeman on the bus on the way to the ballpark.
Speaker 6: Nothing to be that concerned about. It's not taped up,
Speaker 6: it's not bandage, and it's not in a but it
Speaker 6: is something that the doctors want to be able to
Speaker 6: maintain and keep an eye on.
Speaker 5: How was his demeanor?
Speaker 11: Did he seem optimistic that he would be able to
Speaker 11: play tomorrow night?
Speaker 6: Freddie on the bus to the ballpark is normally with
Speaker 6: the headphone on and listening to something, and that's his
Speaker 6: normal routine. So he's not the most loquacious on the bus.
Speaker 6: He and when he gets on the bus, he's already
Speaker 6: in in game mode.
Speaker 11: When we talked to Dave Roberts see, you know, obviously
Speaker 11: there's that gamesmanship between the two dugouts. Do you believe
Speaker 11: with the injury to Freddie Freeman's right middle finger, even
Speaker 11: if he can't throw, do you believe he could grip
Speaker 11: a bat and maybe swing a bat today for a
Speaker 11: pin shit appearance?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I say that only because I don't know the
Speaker 6: extent of the injury, how painful it is. If he's
Speaker 6: even able to bend that finger. Looking at it on
Speaker 6: the bus, I did not see him able to really
Speaker 6: manipulate the hand of full range of motion. It's something
Speaker 6: that in dire situation I would imagine, yes, he could
Speaker 6: bat would be uncomfortable most likely.
Speaker 11: You know, it's interesting, Rick, everybody was showing me what
Speaker 11: their middle finger looked like today in the clubhouse.
Speaker 6: Well you're number one, David, You've always been that way,
Speaker 6: and quite frankly, even here in the booth, you've earned
Speaker 6: that recognition.
Speaker 5: Hey, thank you, Rick. You can hold off on showing
Speaker 5: me yours right now.
Speaker 6: Well normally when you get you see it in stereo.
Speaker 11: Before I'm back out of here. Dodgers win this game.
Speaker 11: They have a winning road trip, disappointing split in Milwaukee,
Speaker 11: but if they can get away with a win today,
Speaker 11: I would say they got to feel good going back home.
Speaker 6: I think he's the last two games in Milwaukee that
Speaker 6: let games get away from them. They just lost the
Speaker 6: game last night, That's what it was. And not the
Speaker 6: greatest of pitching, and the Dodgers did not have a
Speaker 6: very timely hitting either.
Speaker 11: You know, Kershaw understands the situation. He understands the bullpen.
Speaker 11: Ben Casparius officially activated here to be coverage for him.
Speaker 11: But I have to believe Kershaw is going to give
Speaker 11: the Dodgers at least one thing.
Speaker 6: That you and I have talked about a lot. When
Speaker 6: Kershaw takes them mount, it brings up the level of
Speaker 6: expectations with all of his teammates and everybody that watches
Speaker 6: Dodger baseball. On top of it, he's that good and
Speaker 6: it just raises the bar.
Speaker 11: Hopefully the Dodgers can score some runs with no Will Smith,
Speaker 11: no Freddie Freeman, no Miguel Rojas and today's getaway day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Austin Barnes is playing.
Speaker 6: Hey, he's hitting the ball. Yeah, ker Meyer has been
Speaker 6: hitting the ball exceptionally well. Yavin Lux is going to
Speaker 6: be elevated the number three spot in the lineup today. Also,
Speaker 6: he's knocking the ball, the cover off the ball.
Speaker 5: Hey, there's it takes nine, It takes twenty five.
Speaker 6: Right, Rick, Yeah, well it will twenty six, twenty seventy
Speaker 6: six total. That's really They know that you're in their
Speaker 6: corner as well.
Speaker 11: David, thanks a lot, Rick, I appreciate the salute yet
Speaker 11: out here.
Speaker 5: I'll send it back to you in the studio too, all.

Speaker 5: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 9: Appreciate it anytime, Dave.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, back in Saint louis a team that you
Speaker 11: grew up rooting for. What's it been like being at
Speaker 11: Bush Stadium as a major league player.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a lot different feel.
Speaker 12: As a kid, it just seemed just so surreal and
Speaker 12: like so magical. I mean it still does, but like
Speaker 12: it just seems so much bigger. But being down here
Speaker 12: and stuff like, it's cool. It's a lot cooler from
Speaker 12: down here. It's a shows a lot of years of.
Speaker 9: Experience and hard work. How many Cardinals games. Did you
Speaker 9: get to I probably.
Speaker 12: Went to about four or five growing up. That's probably
Speaker 12: like seven the first time I came. But yeah, last
Speaker 12: time I was here was twenty seventeen.
Speaker 11: So you got a better seat these days than when
Speaker 11: you were a kid. Where would you sit here at
Speaker 11: Bush Stadium?
Speaker 12: I think the first time I actually sat at the
Speaker 12: top in left field.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Once I sat behind home plate, like second deck. Once
Speaker 12: I sat up here in the second deck, just behind
Speaker 12: third base.
Speaker 9: But yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 12: We actually had a U trip World Series here and
Speaker 12: we got to walk around the field and stuff like
Speaker 12: they usually like to do sometimes, and so yeah, I
Speaker 12: remember that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was awesome, and it's awesome being back here.
Speaker 11: Since you're not pitching in this series, have you been
Speaker 11: able to take it in more than you would have.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been it's been nice not having to, you know,
Speaker 12: worry about pitching here and then just getting to focus
Speaker 12: on seeing family and friends stuff.
Speaker 9: It's been nice.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, how many family and friends did come to visit?
Speaker 12: Yeah, there was a lot, a lot of my buddies came,
Speaker 12: a lot of friends and family from around the area.
Speaker 9: So yeah, it's been cool.
Speaker 5: So it's out there now.
Speaker 11: Your favorite player growing up was David Eckstein, but I
Speaker 11: was surprised to hear when you started to gravitate towards pitching,
Speaker 11: Joe Kelly was your favorite player. What's it like being
Speaker 11: teammates with Joe? Is he everything that you thought he
Speaker 11: would be?
Speaker 9: Oh? Yeah, Joe's my favorite pitcher ever?
Speaker 12: And yeah, he's He's more than what I thought he'd be.
Speaker 12: He's even crazier and so I actually get to like
Speaker 12: play with him and see what he's like. He's one
Speaker 12: of a con for sure, and so it's been it's
Speaker 12: been an honor, you know, to get to be on
Speaker 12: the same team as him.
Speaker 11: I don't know about you, but it feels like whenever
Speaker 11: I'm least expecting it, he sneaks up on you and
Speaker 11: completely rattles you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he does, he does. He's a good yeah though,
Speaker 9: he's a great guy. Yeah.
Speaker 5: What's the one thing that you love that Joe Kelly did?
Speaker 11: Was it the way he had mound presence and was
Speaker 11: aggressive in the strike zone? What what made you gravitate
Speaker 11: towards Joe?
Speaker 12: Yeah, all of that, like just his mentality in general,
Speaker 12: in the way that he you know, I guess really
Speaker 12: was just throwing slow as a starter or slower as
Speaker 12: a starter and then just kindle all that vlo you know,
Speaker 12: so quick and so to see that just really gave
Speaker 12: me confidence of you know, like I have a chance,
Speaker 12: like I can work to throw hard like that too,
Speaker 12: And like I said, just to be on team with him.
Speaker 9: Is pretty cool.
Speaker 11: Yeavin, You're the dodgers only ten game winner. What does
Speaker 11: that mean for you as far as being the most
Speaker 11: reliable starter as well? Because Kershaw always talks about the
Speaker 11: wins are a product of him being out there. You've
Speaker 11: made twenty two starts, twenty three tomorrow. It's turned into
Speaker 11: a really good year.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I mean every time I get the ball, I'm just
Speaker 12: trying to go out there and get a win for us.
Speaker 12: You know, we need them really bad right now. So
Speaker 12: any chance I can get that's my goal. But it's
Speaker 12: all about just having fun. It's a lot of fun
Speaker 12: out there, and so when you have a defense as
Speaker 12: good as ours, it makes it a lot easier to
Speaker 12: get those wins in an offense when you got you know,
Speaker 12: Mookie Freddy's show, Hey at the top, So they make
Speaker 12: it a lot easier.
Speaker 9: Definitely, But yeah, it's been. It's been pretty.
Speaker 11: Fun being a rookie with those type of veterans that
Speaker 11: you describe playing behind you.
Speaker 9: What's it like.
Speaker 11: Do you feel like you have more confidence because you
Speaker 11: know you have guys behind you?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Absolutely, I mean our lineup is unbelievable and so it
Speaker 12: makes it a lot easier to kind of just work
Speaker 12: in and out of the zone.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's it's really cool, you know, to look back
Speaker 12: and see those guys behind me.
Speaker 11: We know that Gavin Stone put in a lot of
Speaker 11: work during the off season. You came to spring training
Speaker 11: a more refined pitcher. Can you take us through the
Speaker 11: evolution of this season? How have you gotten better as
Speaker 11: the season has gone forward?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I think it's just been trying to
Speaker 12: stay consistent as possible.
Speaker 9: You know last year it just wasn't as consistent.
Speaker 12: So that was really the main focus, you know, throughout
Speaker 12: the long process of the season, and Connor Mark, you know,
Speaker 12: we have great guys to kind of just help and
Speaker 12: keep everything the same, and so yeah, that's that's really
Speaker 12: just been it.
Speaker 9: He's trying to stay consistent and just trusting.
Speaker 11: My routine today is cruse Shaw day. I've seen you
Speaker 11: out there watching his bullpen sessions. What's it like to
Speaker 11: see one of the greatest pictures? Do the behind the
Speaker 11: scenes work for days like today?
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's how you learn, Honestly, That's how I like
Speaker 12: to learn, is just to watch these guys and and
Speaker 12: see how they go about their you know, daily work
Speaker 12: throughout the year, at different parts of the year, at
Speaker 12: different times during the day. And so, yeah, just to
Speaker 12: get to be you know, like same with the same
Speaker 12: over with Joe, Like he's Hall of Famer and so
Speaker 12: to get to be on the same staff as him
Speaker 12: is really cooling.
Speaker 9: To get to learn from him. You know, I'm trying
Speaker 9: to pick up as much as I can.
Speaker 11: What have you learned about how he approaches his work
Speaker 11: in between starts as far as cruise shot goes.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean he doesn't take any days off, and
Speaker 12: I think that's really the key.
Speaker 9: Uh. He's always one of the first people here.
Speaker 12: He's always I mean, he's always you can tell he
Speaker 12: loves the game. He's always you know, doing something out
Speaker 12: here on the field. And so to see that and
Speaker 12: admire that, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 11: Earlier on this road trip, like you said, he's watching
Speaker 11: the game. He came up with a big assist when
Speaker 11: Juli Ortizmith's second base was that sutter a wake up
Speaker 11: call for everybody to pay attention to what's going on
Speaker 11: in the game, even though you may not be playing.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, absolutely, and Chris is the best at it.
Speaker 12: He's locked in every game and yeah, and you can
Speaker 12: tell he's out here watching, observing and stuff like that.
Speaker 12: And so he's probably the only one that picked up
Speaker 12: on that, because I don't even think I mean, dog
Speaker 12: might not even.
Speaker 9: Picked up on it. But yeah, Chris comes from sprinting
Speaker 9: down the.
Speaker 5: Dugout that was a big victory.
Speaker 12: Oh that was huge. Yeah that was huge. But yeah,
Speaker 12: that's just the kind of guy he is.
Speaker 11: He always talks about change up envy. Going back five
Speaker 11: or six years, has he talked to you about your changeup?
Speaker 7: Not a lot.
Speaker 12: I mean I ask him like every now and then
Speaker 12: how it feels and stuff, and like what his grip is.
Speaker 12: But I think he just knows that it's more of
Speaker 12: a secondary patient, so he's not trying to make it nasty.
Speaker 9: But it's still a great bitch.
Speaker 12: I think he's I think you'll I think it'll be
Speaker 12: good at the end of the year too, So we'll.
Speaker 11: See you feel like he's not giving it enough due.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean he's used it in good counts past
Speaker 12: two games and it's worked.
Speaker 4: So love it.
Speaker 11: Can't wait to see the change up with Gavin Stone
Speaker 11: tomorrow night at Dodgers Stadium. Appreciate the time, and man,
Speaker 11: you're an easy guy to root for. I tell people
Speaker 11: that all the time. You're a great young man and
Speaker 11: certainly have the foundation to be great.
Speaker 9: Thank you appreciate it, Dave.
Speaker 11: Yeah, winning is what it is with Gavin Stone.
Speaker 5: That's the bottom line.
Speaker 11: Because Stone Cold said so, all right.
Speaker 2: Good reference there at WWE and stone Colds Steve Auston DV.

Speaker 4: Dodgers will wrap up this road trip today, looking to
Speaker 4: get a winning road trip with a win here, and
Speaker 4: they have won four of six against the Cardinals so
Speaker 4: far this season. Clayton Kershaw one and two, eleven and
Speaker 4: seven for Sonny Gray for Gray is twenty third start,
Speaker 4: one thing about the Dodgers today offensively, they need to
Speaker 4: find a way to lift and separate, meaning hit the
Speaker 4: ball out of the ballpark, as Gray has given up
Speaker 4: more than double the number of home runs this year
Speaker 4: with the Cardinals than he did last year with the
Speaker 4: Minnesota Twin.
Speaker 6: And the other part too, is Sonny Gray was seventeen
Speaker 6: home runs, but nine of those have come since the
Speaker 6: All Star Break has taken place, and he's won in
Speaker 6: three six starts career against the Dodgers. We said before
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw's last outing that was on Monday and Milwaukee,
Speaker 6: he had made a comment the night before and here's
Speaker 6: the quote, I've got to figure out how to maintain
Speaker 6: my pitch count. Well that's what he did in the
Speaker 6: last out. He went five and two thirds, very good baseball,
Speaker 6: one run, only three hits. And for Clayton Kershaw here
Speaker 6: this afternoon is going to make career start number four
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty seven and try and pick up his
Speaker 6: two hundred and twelfth victory.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for Kershaw against the Cardinals. This will be his
Speaker 4: twenty second career start, ten and six with an ERA
Speaker 4: of an even three. He's only allowed five home runs.
Speaker 4: He's in one hundred and thirty five innings pitched against
Speaker 4: this ball club over the course of his career.
Speaker 6: We're going to find out about that curveball with Kershaw
Speaker 6: also because the last downing the curveball was there. He
Speaker 6: set up with the slider and he surprised a few
Speaker 6: people with that fastball. Really good location on top of it,
Speaker 6: so he was able to maintain the pitch County and
Speaker 6: hopefully that carries over today. I know one group that's
Speaker 6: hoping that happens. That's the bullpen.
Speaker 4: And in the bullpen, Ben Casparius today called up from
Speaker 4: TRIPAA Oklahoma City. Brent Honeywell has been designated for assignment,
Speaker 4: and if Casparius gets in, it'll be his major league
Speaker 4: debut and he is available as a long reliever today
Speaker 4: Cardinals and Dodgers. Rubber game of this three game sent
Speaker 4: coming up to him.
Speaker 2: All right, first pitch, all week, come back, don't forget
Speaker 2: afterwards all of all the postgame festivities. We'll keep an
Speaker 2: eye on what's happening in Denver with the Rockies taking
Speaker 2: on the Padres, and of course Arizona on the road
Speaker 2: in Tampa taken on the Rays. Dodgers games up on
Speaker 2: the Padres, three games up on the Snakes in the Division.
Speaker 2: First Pitches next, Dodgers in Saint Louis, wrapping up this
Speaker 2: series against the Cardinals. I'm Tim Kates has been wrong
Speaker 2: with Casino Dodgers on deck on the Los Angeles Dodgers
