Speaker 1: Now your host for Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: Tim kamk Hi everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino
Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck. Hope you're well on this Tuesday night.
Speaker 2: It's the twenty twenty four National League Divisional Series, your
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the San Diego Padres. After
Speaker 2: splitting the first two games at Dodger Stadium over the weekend,
Speaker 2: the series now shifts down south to San Diego. Game
Speaker 2: three to night Walker Bueller on the mound, first pitch
Speaker 2: coming up at six oh eight. Between then and now,
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to here on Marogo
Speaker 2: Casino Dodgers on Deck, including hearing from the manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vasse, our
Speaker 2: Dodger Insiders on the field, gain the very latest as
Speaker 2: we speak. He will join us throughout the show. He'll
Speaker 2: also go one on one with Will Smith, Dodger ketcher.
Speaker 2: We got your Dodgers magical moment. Shortly we will check
Speaker 2: in with Hurston Watson. In just a few minutes, we
Speaker 2: will head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth and
Speaker 2: here from Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers won Game one on Saturday night. They fell
Speaker 2: behind early but rally to win Game two. On Sunday night,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers again fell behind early, but we're unable to
Speaker 2: come back this time. The Dodgers sent Jack Flaherty to
Speaker 2: the mount in Game two on Sunday night. In the
Speaker 2: first inning, he got into some early trouble.
Speaker 4: For Jack Flaherty, the pride of Burdbank, California, Harvard Westlake Wolverine,
Speaker 4: now with the bon in his hands, starting a postseason
Speaker 4: game at Dodgers Stadium for his hometown club as tatist
Speaker 4: Let's went high and deep to left field, carrying toward
Speaker 4: the Dodger bullpen and into the bullpen for a home run.
Speaker 4: Fernando Tatist Junior loves to terrorize the Dodgers here at
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium, especially his second home run of the postseason
Speaker 4: makes it one nothing San Diego.
Speaker 5: Two batters in.
Speaker 2: Carnando Cities, Junior makes it a one to nothing Padres lead.
Speaker 5: Just like that.
Speaker 2: That is the top tier play of the game sponsored
Speaker 2: by Arco Quality top tier gas for les You. Darbish
Speaker 2: was on the mound for the Padres. In the second inning,
Speaker 2: Dodgers found themselves down three to nothing. Well, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: kind of answered back in the bottom half of the
Speaker 2: second inning. With Darbish on the mound, ta Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: is single the center, Max Munsey's single to right, Dodgers
Speaker 2: had something going. Will Smith drew a walk to load
Speaker 2: the bases. With nobody out for Gavin Lux.
Speaker 4: Darbish on the mound, has the ball to belt, picks
Speaker 4: it up to the letters, looks back at Mounsey on
Speaker 4: second base, focuses on Lucks at home, throws the pitch
Speaker 4: and Lucks hits it high in the air. Left field
Speaker 4: pro far calling for Taskar and Indo is little tag
Speaker 4: from third and he will score without a play. It's
Speaker 4: a sacrifice fly for Gavin Lucks. The Dodgers are on
Speaker 4: the board and now within two.
Speaker 5: It's three to one that San Diego.
Speaker 2: Gavin locks with the sack fly. That is the fresh
Speaker 2: breath of fresh air moment of the game. Presented by
Speaker 2: Atari Mechanical. Looking for reliable and heating and air conditioning
Speaker 2: services here in South of California, Look no further than
Speaker 2: a Tara Mechanical, your trusted partner. It's a breath of
Speaker 2: fresh air and a Tari mechanical with Omar and Brittany
Speaker 2: the founders, great people. Their service is more than just
Speaker 2: a solution from a moment you call to the completion
Speaker 2: of your project. A tar mechanical delivers friendly on his
Speaker 2: service at a fair price. Well nothing was fair on
Speaker 2: Sunday night, as the Dodgers, down three to one, had
Speaker 2: an opportunity to get back on the board with some
Speaker 2: more but Tommy Edmund lined into a double play to
Speaker 2: end the threat in the second and that was really
Speaker 2: it for the Dodgers. Didn't mount much of an offense
Speaker 2: the rest of the way until a home run in
Speaker 2: the ninth inning for Max Munsey to four hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty two feet to right field, but that was it.
Speaker 2: By then the Padres were up ten to two. Is
Speaker 2: a take game two you Darvish goes seven innings, allows
Speaker 2: the one run, three hits, three strikeouts to get the victory.
Speaker 2: Jack Felerty we ended up pitching into the sixth inning,
Speaker 2: not before giving up four runs on five hits a
Speaker 2: couple of home runs. As the Dodgers and Padres now
Speaker 2: find themselves squared off at a game a piece game three,
Speaker 2: This best of five series is coming up tonight. Walker
Speaker 2: Buehler on the mound. First pitch is six oh eight,
Speaker 2: and with more we head out to the Galvin Motors
Speaker 2: broadcast booth and say hello to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, they get him the countdown, getting closer and closer
Speaker 4: to the first pitch and where there's going to be
Speaker 4: less talking and more baseballing.
Speaker 5: Rick Monday, it's been a long.
Speaker 4: Day off, I would say for both sides since Game
Speaker 4: number two, when the emotions of this series were really
Speaker 4: kicked up.
Speaker 5: Into a high gear.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot talked about, a lot written about,
Speaker 4: a lot said between both clubhouses entering this game three,
Speaker 4: and again I just I'm ready for a baseball.
Speaker 6: Game, West. Thank you for Deep in the forest. So
Speaker 6: with all the churking that's taking place over the next
Speaker 6: last couple of days, but you know, it has nothing
Speaker 6: to do with what has to happen on the field tonight.
Speaker 6: And I think, really, if you're the visiting team, need
Speaker 6: to come in. I mean, this is going to be
Speaker 6: a Rockers crowd. I mean, and for good reason. You
Speaker 6: start to look at what this ball club has done
Speaker 6: San Diego sellout crowds fifty six different sellouts. Well, it
Speaker 6: will be a sellout tonight in postseason on time of it,
Speaker 6: and they're fired up. I mean, the series tied at
Speaker 6: one game apiece, and I really think that right now
Speaker 6: in this game tonight it is I can't say it's
Speaker 6: a must win for this Dodger ball club, but they
Speaker 6: don't want to be pinned up against the wall tomorrow
Speaker 6: night and they must win. And I think it's a
Speaker 6: huge outing now for Walker Bueler who towes the rubber
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers tonight.
Speaker 4: And mathematically none of us win. Mobile We talked about
Speaker 4: this the other night. In this division series era, the
Speaker 4: best of five series, when the series is tied at
Speaker 4: one apiece, the winner of game three is forty five
Speaker 4: and seventeen seventy three percent of the time.
Speaker 5: Basically, if the winner of Game three goes on to
Speaker 5: win this series.
Speaker 6: Isn't amazing how you kind of transfer Because after Game
Speaker 6: one we were talking about the team that wins game
Speaker 6: one in the best of a five series seventy percent
Speaker 6: they come out of it. So, yeah, the odds are
Speaker 6: going to change. What the Dodgers have to do is
Speaker 6: to change the numbers on the scoreboard. Forget about the
Speaker 6: eye change the numbers on the scoreboard. And I think
Speaker 6: they have to play with more vitality than what we
Speaker 6: saw in Game two of that series. And the Dodgers
Speaker 6: they cannot be passive this ball club. On the other side,
Speaker 6: in the first base home dugout, the Sandego and Andres,
Speaker 6: they are going to have a raucous crowd behind them
Speaker 6: because they made a big hallabaloo about what took place
Speaker 6: in Los Angeles. Baseball is being thrown? Was one thrown
Speaker 6: at the Dodgers dugouts by Manny Machado. What's this was
Speaker 6: to tease intentially hit my pitch. Oh that's blowney, it's
Speaker 6: billboard stuff. The Dodgers have to play good baseball and
Speaker 6: play aggressive baseball.
Speaker 4: Play good baseball, play aggressive baseball, but do not play
Speaker 4: into what the Padres want, which is like getting into
Speaker 4: the antics and the emotion and the way.
Speaker 5: They come out. And again that's not a potch out
Speaker 5: of the Padres. Tim is to get it back to you.
Speaker 4: That is the personality of that clubhouse, which is a
Speaker 4: stark contrast to the one in the Dodgers clubhouse. You
Speaker 4: have to be who you are and play your game.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers definitely did not play their game in game
Speaker 4: number two. Let's see if they do it here in
Speaker 4: game number three.
Speaker 2: Well said Nelly, do not play their reindeer game.
Speaker 5: Dodgers.
Speaker 2: All right, if we count you down to first pitch,
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, get your game day meal on at Shaky's
Speaker 2: Pizza Parlor or your Shaky's Pizza. You're chicken at Mojos
Speaker 2: right now at Shakys dot com. We're off and running

Speaker 1: Y'all on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Padres from Petco Park in San Diego,
Speaker 2: Game three of the n l d S Walker revealer
Speaker 2: Michael King. The pitching matchup, first pitch, set, first six.
Speaker 5: O eight.
Speaker 7: This is the Otani rewhy.
Speaker 2: Well the Dodgers in general, their bats were quiet on
Speaker 2: Sunday Night, just five hits and the ten to two
Speaker 2: loss to the San Diego Padres. Certainly things spirited on
Speaker 2: and off the field during the course of those nine innings,
Speaker 2: but the Dodgers offense couldn't get jump started. Just the
Speaker 2: one run on the Gavin lux sack fly in the
Speaker 2: second and then in the bottom half of the ninth inning,
Speaker 2: Max Munsey tacked on a home run a solo shot
Speaker 2: to make it a ten to two Padres win. Showy
Speaker 2: Otani was zero for four with two strikeouts in the loss.
Speaker 2: Otani rewind brought to you by Eto a in Oa,

Speaker 7: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Henk Kirston now joins us for Petco Park Game three
Speaker 2: coming up. Keirston looking at the line. Great news, Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 8: Is in it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it really is good news. I mean, I think
Speaker 9: there were a lot of questions, especially since seeing him
Speaker 9: come out of the game during Game two, he had
Speaker 9: two at bats and he exited at Dave Roberts said
Speaker 9: yesterday that he kind of tweaked his ankle on like
Speaker 9: while he was swinging the bat, and he even Freddy
Speaker 9: had shared with us that he didn't necessarily. Yes, running
Speaker 9: is one thing, you know, kind of going from the
Speaker 9: bases obviously, like the kind of lateral movements, that's one thing.
Speaker 9: But he did have a little bit of concern just
Speaker 9: with sometimes swinging, so he ended up kind of tweaking
Speaker 9: it while he was swinging the bat against Darvish, and
Speaker 9: so now it's a matter of he was in treatment
Speaker 9: all day yesterday. He didn't do any baseball activities. We
Speaker 9: did have a little bit more of a mental reset.
Speaker 9: But as of right now, he feels good to go.
Speaker 9: So he'll be out there. Hopefully he can stay out there,
Speaker 9: but if for some reason he can't, just like we
Speaker 9: saw in game two with Max Munsey taking over at first,
Speaker 9: Kik Hernanez coming into the game to play at third.
Speaker 9: That would be the same kind of setup if for
Speaker 9: some reason Freddy does have to come out of the game.
Speaker 9: But for Max, he feels confident about playing the position. Obviously,
Speaker 9: we saw the scare two years ago with the playoff first.
Speaker 9: Hopefully that does not come, that doesn't happen again. He said,
Speaker 9: that's something obvious, that's just a natural Your body doesn't
Speaker 9: is going to kind of be a little bit constraint.
Speaker 9: I guess when react to something like that, just due
Speaker 9: to what happened before. But the hope is, you know,
Speaker 9: Freddy's out there, and the good thing is that he
Speaker 9: is out there, and hopefully he could just kind of
Speaker 9: keep it going. But because I mean, look, it's very
Speaker 9: telling me. You have a player who has been injured
Speaker 9: for what ten days now, and he's it's an injury
Speaker 9: that's four to six weeks. That's huge when you see
Speaker 9: a play a guy battling it out and wanting to
Speaker 9: be out.
Speaker 2: There, no doubt about it. Walk Reviewaler on the mounta tonight, man,
Speaker 2: it would be nice to have walk Reveeler of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one back tonight on the mounth for the Dodgers.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but even like if we look at the walker
Speaker 9: that faced these padres the last time during the end
Speaker 9: of the regular season, you know he was able to
Speaker 9: get jams. He was he gave the energy that this
Speaker 9: team needed to push through to win the game, to
Speaker 9: then win the division. I mean, he's been in a
Speaker 9: situation not only just meaningful game, it must win game.
Speaker 9: He's done it in the past in the postseason. We
Speaker 9: saw him recently doing it in his most recent outing.
Speaker 9: And so for him today, like this is just he
Speaker 9: wants the ball. He is someone who he lives for,
Speaker 9: like literally lives for these moments. And so for him,
Speaker 9: he's excited, he's ready to go. He does believe that.
Speaker 9: You know, in during the regular season it was about
Speaker 9: building blocks that is now out the door. He's got
Speaker 9: to bring it from the first pitch. He wants to
Speaker 9: bring the energy and he just wants to go out there.
Speaker 9: And the biggest thing for him is having a clean
Speaker 9: first inning. We've seen in the regular season there have
Speaker 9: been times where he's settled in after the first and
Speaker 9: so the era is pretty high in that first inning today.
Speaker 9: Cannot do that. The team cannot do that. They need
Speaker 9: to find a way the Hopefully he can come into
Speaker 9: the game with already some offensive support.
Speaker 2: Let's hope so, Kirsten appreciate it. We'll check out with
Speaker 2: you after the game. Brought to my Cars for Kids,
Speaker 2: the easiest way to get rid of your old car.

Speaker 2: with a case still to come. Here on Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: will dive deeper into this bitchy matchup. David ve Say
Speaker 2: goes one on one with Will Smith. But up next
Speaker 2: we'll get the pregame thoughts of the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: It's a Dodgers and Padres Game three of the an LDS.
Speaker 2: First pitch at six oh eight. I'm Tim Kats's Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Wrongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your
Speaker 1: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Brongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 2: up to first pitch, Game three of the NLDS from
Speaker 2: San Diego. It's the Dodgers and Padres, Wrongo Casino Resort
Speaker 2: and spot good times for everyone. Walker Buehler and Michael King.
Speaker 2: The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at six oh eight.
Speaker 2: Let's head back down south and check out what the
Speaker 2: Dodgers get burn any Dave?
Speaker 10: Do you think my questions for Dave?
Speaker 3: Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
Speaker 3: the pressure.
Speaker 7: In the dugouts with Dave Robbers?
Speaker 9: Dave, just when you look at this matchup tonight, what
Speaker 9: are you hoping to see from the offense and how
Speaker 9: are you hoping to see them attack Michael King.
Speaker 11: Tonight? Michael's obviously had a heck of a year seeing
Speaker 11: him a lot. I think for us is just to
Speaker 11: be on the attack. I think he's a guy that
Speaker 11: tries to attack you. He's a strike thrower and then
Speaker 11: he hunts for the strikeout, and so I think for
Speaker 11: us is just to be ready to fire early when
Speaker 11: the balls in the hitting zone.
Speaker 12: With the emotional dynamics of this series, like how have
Speaker 12: you seen that factor into like the actual games and
Speaker 12: the first two and how important do you think that's
Speaker 12: going to be especially in these two games here and
Speaker 12: try to.
Speaker 11: I don't think they they factored into the first two games.
Speaker 11: I thought there was emotions in the first game. I
Speaker 11: thought we did a good job fighting and winning a
Speaker 11: ball game. The second game we got our butts kicked.
Speaker 11: So I don't think that either way. We got our
Speaker 11: butts kicked. Yesterday, I thought it was a good work day.
Speaker 11: This is going to be a great environment. I mean,
Speaker 11: this is one of the better places to play in
Speaker 11: all of baseball, which is fantastic. So I'm excited. Our
Speaker 11: guys are excited. It's going to be a high energy
Speaker 11: game tonight.
Speaker 12: When you guys talk about trying to match the Padres intensity,
Speaker 12: is there like a fine line there between playing with
Speaker 12: intensity but not kind of getting out of your own
Speaker 12: game and kind of the even keel kind of mindset
Speaker 12: that you guys have during the latter season.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I just think that it can't be manufactured. I
Speaker 11: think that you have to appreciate it and understand the
Speaker 11: value in it of getting fired and playing with energy.
Speaker 11: I just don't think manufacturing it is sustained. But I do,
Speaker 11: and I do think that, you know, the most important
Speaker 11: thing is playing good baseball.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: There's Dave Roberts in some pregame thoughts Dave Roberts down
Speaker 2: the dug out brought to you by Service Titan. Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts wins in the playoffs by being ready for anything.
Speaker 2: If you want your contracting business to succeed, you need
Speaker 2: to be ready to let Service Titan help you be
Speaker 2: prepared Service Titan. When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: we'll get the very latest from our Dodger insider as
Speaker 2: we check in with David Basse leading you out to
Speaker 2: first pitchers San Diego Dodgers and Padres Game three of
Speaker 2: the nl d S. I'm Tim Kas's Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 2: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your
Speaker 1: home for the Blue all season.
Speaker 2: Long, Dodgers Padres Game three of the nl d S
Speaker 2: from San Diego's coming up at six oh eight. Walker
Speaker 2: viewer Michael King. The pitching matchup coming up, we'll hear
Speaker 2: from Will Smith. Will dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 7: But first, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck, I.
Speaker 10: Accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 7: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, David, been a long twenty four hours since
Speaker 2: Game two on Sunday night as loud as transpire. But
Speaker 2: one thing that hasn't happen and he had this postseason,
Speaker 2: is Mookie Betts so looking for that first hit. But
Speaker 2: he's working hard on his swing, isn't he.
Speaker 10: I talked to Dodgers hitting coach Aaron Bates just about
Speaker 10: an hour ago, and I said, is it true that
Speaker 10: Mookie Betts spent three hours in the hitting cage yesterday?
Speaker 10: He said that was exaggerated. It was about an hour
Speaker 10: to about two hours being in the cage, and it
Speaker 10: wasn't relentless swings. It was stopping examining the swing. Talking
Speaker 10: about the swing. The way he compared it was if
Speaker 10: you go play eighteen holes on a golf course, then
Speaker 10: you go to the driving range and hit more golf balls,
Speaker 10: And that's what he said was taking place yesterday. Mookie
Speaker 10: Bet stayed in the cage a little bit longer today
Speaker 10: during the Dodgers end of batting practice, and it kind
Speaker 10: of feels like he's just getting some of a you know,
Speaker 10: extra energy out or anxiety out before a game, and
Speaker 10: that's the best way for him to do it. But
Speaker 10: as some players told me, Mookie Bet has got to
Speaker 10: stop worrying about what other people are saying. He's got
Speaker 10: to stop worrying about being over for his last twenty
Speaker 10: two in the playoffs and just worry about himself and
Speaker 10: worry about the guys in the clubhouse and what they're
Speaker 10: telling him.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Freddy Freeman in that ankle, DV. How's
Speaker 2: it going well.
Speaker 10: He is still in the starting lineup, but there are
Speaker 10: no guarantees tim that he finishes the game. Liking Game two,
Speaker 10: the pain was just too much for him, and obviously
Speaker 10: it's the end of the year. I'm sure the right
Speaker 10: ankle is not the only thing Freddy's dealing with, but
Speaker 10: obviously that's the one that is at the forefront. But
Speaker 10: if he can't continue to give the Dodgers what they need,
Speaker 10: there's a good chance that he may not be in
Speaker 10: there tomorrow against Martin Perez, the left hander. That could
Speaker 10: be a game, especially if the Dodgers win tonight, that
Speaker 10: you may see Freddy Freeman come off the bench. But
Speaker 10: he's forcing his way in there and he wants to
Speaker 10: be in the starting lineup, But whether or not he
Speaker 10: finishes the game tonight still remains to be seen.
Speaker 2: David has driven for if there's one thing we like,
Speaker 2: its choices, find yours with the fur F one to
Speaker 2: fifty gas hybrid all electric tough this mark can only
Speaker 2: be called F one P fifty. A lot happened in
Speaker 2: Game two on and off the field, good and bad
Speaker 2: their DV tonight. Do you expect any kind of warnings
Speaker 2: to be issued by the umpires?
Speaker 10: I asked Dave Roberts that, and he said he hopes
Speaker 10: the umpires are judicious with issuing warnings, meaning understanding the score,
Speaker 10: the inning, where it is, and whether or not there
Speaker 10: was intent. If somebody does get hit in this game,
Speaker 10: and the Dave Roberts is not that type of manager
Speaker 10: to order a pitcher to hit another player, so I
Speaker 10: don't see that happening. But we have talked about in
Speaker 10: this series where the Dodgers have to do a better
Speaker 10: job of pitching inside to the really good Padres hitters.
Speaker 10: And I'll just give you some background. Walker Bueller and
Speaker 10: many Machado teammates with the Dodgers in twenty eighteen. They
Speaker 10: have a great relationship. I don't see Walker Bueller going
Speaker 10: out of bounds on Machado, but during the regular season
Speaker 10: he did buzz the tower a couple of times against
Speaker 10: Fernando Tattis Junior.
Speaker 2: David looking at tonight with Walker Buehler on the mound,
Speaker 2: it's no secret the Dodgers need a starting pitcher to
Speaker 2: go out there early in a game and put up
Speaker 2: a zero. How important is it that he'd do that tonight.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Walker Bueller acknowledged that yesterday, and he acknowledged the
Speaker 10: fact that in the first innings of games this season,
Speaker 10: his ERA is eight thirty three. So the Dodgers have
Speaker 10: the opportunity to do something the Padres were doing at
Speaker 10: Dodgers Stadium in their first at bats, giving them an
Speaker 10: early lead, and that would quiet this crowd that is
Speaker 10: going to be obviously emotionally charged. They already are emotionally charged.
Speaker 10: They all have these gold towels they're waving out here
Speaker 10: at Peco Park. And if you score first, you give
Speaker 10: Walker Bueller the opportunity to put up a zero, and
Speaker 10: for the first time in this NLDS series, the Dodgers
Speaker 10: would be playing with the lead instead of trying to
Speaker 10: come back from a three or four run.
Speaker 2: Hole, something they definitely need as a lead early. DV
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We'll check back in with you in just
Speaker 2: a little bit coming up here on Marongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 2: on Deck. We still got to dive deeper to this
Speaker 2: pitching matchup. David is gonna go one on one with
Speaker 2: Dodger catcher Will Smith. We'll get to the keys to
Speaker 2: the game. But up next we'll get to your Dodgers

Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kasis, Los Angeles Dodgers on your network.
Speaker 1: Is Loronzo Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on deck y'all on
Speaker 1: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Padres from San Diego, Game three of the
Speaker 2: nld Walker Mueller on the mount. First pitch coming up
Speaker 2: at six to eight. Dodgers Baseball is brought to you
Speaker 2: by Zen she handcrafton Sushi made Fresh daily on side
Speaker 2: pick up Delicious Sushi before the game. And Ralphs are
Speaker 2: other local supermarkets. They're the deli counter and.
Speaker 1: Now joined by David Basse saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 10: All right, Rick, it's already starting to get loud here
Speaker 10: at Peco Park. You've played in these type of environments before.
Speaker 3: This isn't anything, by the way.
Speaker 6: I think one thing the Dodgers in particular, and I
Speaker 6: would apply this to the Punkains as well. Get rid
Speaker 6: of all the billboard materials. This guy said this and
Speaker 6: this guy did. That has nothing to do with it
Speaker 6: happens on the field, and I think that gets lost
Speaker 6: in the shuffle. This is obviously a huge game. Every
Speaker 6: game in postseason is big. Okay, we talked about it
Speaker 6: was big. Winning Game one best three out of five
Speaker 6: in Game one. Is the playoffs, that team wins over
Speaker 6: seventy percent of the time. Guess what when one team
Speaker 6: wins Game two that series they come back home, guess
Speaker 6: what the odd show three out of five. Yeah, they
Speaker 6: have a seventy seven percent chance of victory in the
Speaker 6: overall series.
Speaker 3: That's all well and good.
Speaker 6: It comes out of the computer, doesn't come out of
Speaker 6: the heart, does not come out of a picture, a
Speaker 6: swing or a bat. But this can be said, the
Speaker 6: Dodgers have to play better baseball than what they even
Speaker 6: came close to doing in Game two of this series
Speaker 6: that was on Sunday. And the Dodgers have a lot
Speaker 6: of question marks coming into this game tonight, including as
Speaker 6: you and I were talking about earlier, how long is
Speaker 6: Freddy Freeman able to go in this wall game. We
Speaker 6: don't know the extent, and we won't know until he
Speaker 6: takes the field, how much lateral movement he has how
Speaker 6: much different difficulties having and moving around what about these
Speaker 6: swings is going to affect it? The other part two
Speaker 6: is for Walker Buehller. I mean he is I like
Speaker 6: the one comment that Walker Buehler was asked. He was asked, hey,
Speaker 6: you're known for being a big game pitcher, and he says,
Speaker 6: it's the only thing.
Speaker 3: I care about. I love that.
Speaker 6: The question is how long and how effective is Walker
Speaker 6: Buller are going to be into.
Speaker 10: I skin in the first inning of games? This season,
Speaker 10: Walker Buellers had an ERA of eight thirty three. Rick,
Speaker 10: He's aware of that, and he believes the first inning
Speaker 10: is big.
Speaker 6: And I think the first inning is going to be big.
Speaker 6: Here's the other part, very quickly against Michael King and
Speaker 6: what a season he has had, and he's already had
Speaker 6: a good postseason game, that being at the Atlanta Raves.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers have not hit well. I know you were
Speaker 6: talking to Jose Mode a few moments ago. Have not
Speaker 6: hit well in first pitches of advanced in this series.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: Well, here's the reason I bring that up because Michael
Speaker 6: King and I just went over and told Jose too.
Speaker 6: On first pitches of advanced that are put into play,
Speaker 6: this year three seventy eight average with six home runs.
Speaker 6: That's six of the seventeen today's given up have been
Speaker 6: on first pitch. However, Dodgers have to figure out how
Speaker 6: to hit the breaking ball because King throws a high
Speaker 6: percentage of changeups, and that's not a particular pitch that
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have particularly handled the very well.
Speaker 11: Rick.
Speaker 10: It goes back to what others have said, it's not
Speaker 10: a bad thing to be aggressive early in the count,
Speaker 10: and when Mookie Betts is going well, he is aggressive
Speaker 10: on the first pitch.
Speaker 6: There's that fine line aggressive but selective at the same time.
Speaker 6: And being part of that selective is knowing, look, here's
Speaker 6: what I'm looking for in that first pitch. It's not
Speaker 6: just anything that's over the plate. That first pitch in
Speaker 6: a zone. Is it going to be in a zone?
Speaker 6: Is it going to be a pitch We're going to
Speaker 6: find out high percentage again of breaking pitches from King.
Speaker 6: But the Dodgers cannot allow themselves to get caught up
Speaker 6: in the emotions.
Speaker 3: Play the game. The emotions will take care of it.
Speaker 10: When you look at this Dodger team, it can't just
Speaker 10: be show hey, O Tani Rick, how much do the
Speaker 10: Dodgers need Mookie Betts to snap out of this mini slump?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well that mini slump is now kind of stretching
Speaker 6: out a little bit more. I mean, here's the deal,
Speaker 6: eight time All Star, two time World champion, and an
Speaker 6: MVP that he has not been able to do that.
Speaker 6: In fact, you start to look at what Bets. I mean,
Speaker 6: he's over his last twenty two in postseason, he's oh
Speaker 6: for six, although he has three walks in this particular series.
Speaker 6: So the Dodgers know exactly what they have to do.
Speaker 6: The other part, too, is they know the tay. If
Speaker 6: you're from LA or Orange County, you couldn't buy a
Speaker 6: ticket for this game. The padres made sure of that,
Speaker 6: according to the zip codes that people were ordering the tickets.
Speaker 6: A lot of them were ordered and then found out
Speaker 6: later on Nope, canceled. Oops, you're in the wrong era code.
Speaker 6: We won't let you come down.
Speaker 10: Well, I know some Dodger fans that worked their way
Speaker 10: around it on the secondary market.
Speaker 3: In the past.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers have risen the occasion, and maybe in the
Speaker 6: most rowdy of ballparks, I think to Philadelphia, I think
Speaker 6: in New York, why shouldn't it be San Diego in
Speaker 6: this place. They've been here before and they understand that
Speaker 6: they're the evil Empire from Los Angeles coming into San Diego.
Speaker 10: Can't wait. First pitch coming up at six.
Speaker 3: Oh, let's get it going, David.
Speaker 10: Let's go Rick, Rick Monday and Stephen Nelson on the call.
Speaker 10: We'll send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 13: Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 10: You've been in there, You've been part of postseason games
Speaker 10: for a long time now in your career. Can you
Speaker 10: just describe the emotions between these two teams so far
Speaker 10: in this series.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's been you know, two exciting games. We are
Speaker 13: able you get the first one they took yesterday from us,
Speaker 13: but uh, you know, back out there today. I guess
Speaker 13: for game three.
Speaker 10: It always feels like, and I've heard Dave Roberts say this,
Speaker 10: the momentum of a series starts with your starting pitcher.
Speaker 10: Do you feel that same way as well?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 13: Yeah, for sure. You know it's it's important to get
Speaker 13: off to a good start in the game. You want
Speaker 13: to jump on their guy put up some runs first.
Speaker 10: So yeah, I know you're a guy that it doesn't
Speaker 10: really show his emotions too much. How do you handle
Speaker 10: a hostile environment like you're going to face tonight in
Speaker 10: San Diego?
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 13: I always enjoy it. I love when kraws or rowdy,
Speaker 13: love when Dodger stadiums like that.
Speaker 5: It's it's fun.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 13: You know, I just try to embrace it, You don't,
Speaker 13: You just just embrace That's how I go about it.
Speaker 13: Just enjoy it and go out there compete.
Speaker 10: How important is it for the Dodgers yourself included, not
Speaker 10: to try to get baited by anything.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 10: As far as emotions from that side of the field.
Speaker 5: Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 13: I think you know, we're gonna have emotions, We're gonna
Speaker 13: show emotions. It's the playoffs. It's it's fun. It's exciting,
Speaker 13: it's stressful, it's it's it's you know, it's what we
Speaker 13: play for all your longs to play in these games.
Speaker 13: So uh, you know, we're gonna out there play our game.
Speaker 13: And uh yeah.
Speaker 10: I know you were one of the players that kind
Speaker 10: of organized the team being together and eliminating you know,
Speaker 10: outside distractions. It was the purpose of that for moments
Speaker 10: like this, because you will face adversity in any playoffs series.
Speaker 10: It's never going to be easy.
Speaker 13: Uh yeah, I mean, you know, we spend a lot
Speaker 13: of time with each other all year long. I think
Speaker 13: it was more about just staying in a routine at
Speaker 13: the field, staying in a baseball mindset instead of you know,
Speaker 13: really checking out for a few days. So you know,
Speaker 13: that's kind of what the watchbury is about. Yeah, it's
Speaker 13: I don't know, it's really not as much as it's
Speaker 13: made out the scene. It was just you know, as
Speaker 13: watching baseball and eating foods.
Speaker 10: So yeah, what's the biggest key in your mind for
Speaker 10: you guys to be able to win two more games?
Speaker 13: Yeah, we just gotta go there and ex cute. You know,
Speaker 13: we got to put together good at bats, drive guys in.
Speaker 13: We gotta do that and Obviously pitchers used to go
Speaker 13: out there and execute. You know, yesterday they took advantage
Speaker 13: of us just by you know, hitting homers on our mistakes.
Speaker 13: So you know, kudos to them. They they jumped on them.
Speaker 13: We didn't.
Speaker 10: So, yeah, what's the biggest thing for Walker Buehler? I know,
Speaker 10: the first inning he said, is very important. Maybe you
Speaker 10: guys score could score a run in the top half
Speaker 10: of the first and for him to put zero up
Speaker 10: in that first inning, certainly with quiet this crowd. What's
Speaker 10: the biggest key to help him get through the game tomorrow.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you just gotta get him settled in. Yeah, just
Speaker 13: looking for his stuff, finding out what's working. You just
Speaker 13: go on their nextecuty pitches. Yeah, obviously want to put
Speaker 13: up a few runs in the first inning and put
Speaker 13: up the zero. That'll definitely help. So that's kind of
Speaker 13: a no brainer.
Speaker 10: I know it can't just be Otani, but it's got
Speaker 10: to be all of you, right, Yeah.
Speaker 13: For sure, it's it's it's all twenty six guys in
Speaker 13: the roster. That's that's for sure.

Speaker 2: before first pitch, we head back out to the booth
Speaker 2: at Petco Park one final time. Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, Guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tim back here with Rick Monday at Petco Park,
Speaker 4: San Diego is buzzing. It's a beautiful, beautiful Tuesday afternoon,
Speaker 4: setting the stage for what should be an electric Tuesday
Speaker 4: night at Petco Park.
Speaker 5: Mole and you.
Speaker 4: Look back to Game number two, Jack Flerty. It wasn't
Speaker 4: a great start, it wasn't a quality start, but what
Speaker 4: he did was become the first Dodgers starting pitcher to
Speaker 4: pitch into the sixth inning of a postseason game since
Speaker 4: October eleventh. Twenty twenty one when Max Schurzer did it
Speaker 4: a sixteen game stretch in the postseason where the Dodgers
Speaker 4: didn't have a single starter go into the sixth. So
Speaker 4: now that gets us to tonight's starter in Walker Buller,
Speaker 4: who has big game postseason pedigree. He pitched for the
Speaker 4: Dodgers the night they clinched the division against these Padres
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 5: They need him to come up big again.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing with Walker Viewer.
Speaker 6: He was asked about tonight and he says, look, a
Speaker 6: big game pitcher, and this is going to be a
Speaker 6: sixteenth postseason started where he's three and three eras under three.
Speaker 6: And the answer the question, are you a big game pitcher?
Speaker 6: Here's the quote, It's really the only thing I care about.
Speaker 6: And that's exactly what he has to take on the
Speaker 6: mount tonight. They need a big performance by Walker Dueler.
Speaker 6: But you're not going to win ball games if you
Speaker 6: don't put runs on the board. Forget all the chalkboard talk.
Speaker 6: Put that aside. There's going to have a lot of
Speaker 6: fingers pointed at you. There's going to be a lot
Speaker 6: of booze that are directed in your direction. But This
Speaker 6: is about playing baseball, and the Dodgers from a hitting
Speaker 6: standpoint against Michael Keen tonight, they got to realize breaking pitches.
Speaker 6: The last three years, sixty six percent of the time
Speaker 6: breaking pitches, and he has an outstanding changeup swing early
Speaker 6: in the count if it's a good pitch, because after
Speaker 6: that a lot of breaking stuff the.
Speaker 5: Word you just mentioned there early.
Speaker 4: Obviously, when the Dodgers are at home, they don't have
Speaker 4: the opportunity to throw the first punch, and because they're starters,
Speaker 4: Yamamo and Flaherty both gave up runs in the first inning.
Speaker 4: The Padres took the first step forward in those two games.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers have that same opportunity here tonight and tomorrow
Speaker 4: at Petco Park.
Speaker 5: They have to own.
Speaker 4: The first inning. Obviously, the first inning doesn't. You don't
Speaker 4: win a game in the first inning. But what you
Speaker 4: can do is win some energy, win some emotion, win
Speaker 4: some confidence. Instead of playing from behind for a third.
Speaker 6: Straight game, set the tone and do it early the
Speaker 6: first three innings.
Speaker 4: If that's what the Padres have cashed in the most
Speaker 4: fifteen runs scored in this series, tim eight in the
Speaker 4: first three frames, and in that same stretch the Dodgers' staff.
Speaker 4: The last two Division series against Arizona in San Diego,
Speaker 4: They've given up twenty four runs on twenty nine hits
Speaker 4: in the first three innings of games.
Speaker 5: That's something that's got to change in Game three.
Speaker 2: It needs to change in Game three is coming up
Speaker 2: Dodgers Padres from pet Go Park in San Diego. Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Padres tied at a game of piece win Tonight's
Speaker 2: when tomorrow night, Let's end this thing? Walker rebeler Michael
Speaker 2: King of the pitching matchup. Freddie Freeman is in the
Speaker 2: lineup for the Dodgers, matting seconds may third, excuse me
Speaker 2: and playing first base. Mookie Betts is tonight the nights.
Speaker 2: Let's hope so Showy Otani. Can he get back on
Speaker 2: track and lead this Dodgers team off to a good
Speaker 2: start as the leadoff hitter in this one, we'll find out.
Speaker 2: Great pitching matchup coming up. Dodgers need Walker Veealer to
Speaker 2: be Walker Rebueller of old first pitches.
Speaker 5: Next.
Speaker 2: Are you ready, Dodgers fans, Let's go Dodgers Padres. Next,
