three in a. Row they fall to sixteen and ten
on this. Season they remain though one game back of
The padres in THE Nl, west who have come back
down the earth after their hot. Start tonight a new,
day a new, game and a chance to get back

(04:10):
on the winning. Track Roki sasaki on the mound and
with more we head out to The Gavin motors broadcast
booth on This chile Early saturday evening as we say
hello To Tim neffett And Rick.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Monday, Guys, tim thank you very.

Speaker 8 (04:21):
Much it's a pretty pleasant evening here At Dodgers. Stadium
some clouds but some blue sky as the rain had
subsided earlier today it is out of. Here it's just
going to be a chilly and pleasant evening at the.
Ballpark as The dodgers trying to get back in the win.
Column they've lost three in a row that matches their
season high of consecutive, losses and they begin the night
sixteen and, ten third place in The Western. Division The, pirates,

(04:45):
meantime in last place in The central at eleven and.
Sixteen they have won three of four on this road
trip so, far after losing eight of ten on the
road before this. Trip so The dodgers hoping to get
back in the win column Behind Roki sasaki who is
zero and, one And Mitch keller will pitch For pittsburgh
he is won and. Two and last night The dodgers

(05:06):
really ran into the buzz saw that Is Paul skans
And skiings put together perhaps the best pitching performance against
The dodgers all.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Season, WELL i think there's no question about, that and
The dodgers just continue to struggle regardless of who is
on the mound right now from an offensive, standpoint interesting
this afternoon is that there were four or five of
The dodger players coming out for early batting practice trying
to get some things worked, out and then some guys
also early in the cages, underneath not coming out on the.

(05:36):
Field so hopefully that offense is going to turn, around
because This dodger. Played if you look at, it you're
opening the season winning eight consecutive. Games, well since that,
time they've dropped ten of. Eighteen but if we look
at the last three ball, games including last, night The
dodgers have allowed twenty one. Runs oh granted three of
those are unearned runs in twenty six, innings but they've

(05:59):
also given up a lot of stolen. Bases tim eleven
or fourteen attempts have been. Successful so The dodgers had
some work to, do and they've been out here early
today getting some work.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
In and one thing about stolen, bases they've got to
be careful of. Tonight opposition Base steelers are three for
three Against sasaki so far this. Year so Certainly Will
smith will have his work cut out for him behind the.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Plate.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah and here's the other part, too is that you
look at the pitching and For, suzaki one of the
things we talk about a little bit later. On you,
know his velocity dropped down a little bit in the
last doubting that was a week ago In texas against The.
Rangers if that was by, Design, okay he found the
plate consistently with strikes and he does still have the
ability to reach back and get a little. Extra but

(06:42):
if we're looking at opportunities from other ball clubs and
losing those last three, games AS i was just talking,
about they have allowed forty three at bats by the
opposing team in those three, games all. Losses forty three
at bats with runners in scoring. Position that's too many
opportunities given away for chan is to put runs on the.

Speaker 8 (07:01):
Board we've seen guys slumping right, now As Dave roberts
said to the media this. Afternoon it's. Baseball there's ebbs
and flows to the, season and right now it's an
ebb for. Sure otani And bets are slumping right, now
as are other. Guys Andy paie is at a nice
night last. Night Ferry freeman's been pretty. Steady but you
get the feeling that when one guy comes out of the,
slump a few other guys are going to follow and

(07:22):
that offense is going to kick in the.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Gear, unfortunately when he gets. Slumped she's just hoping is
not like flu and it spreads all through Rat but
The dodgers have some issues really near the top of that.
Lineup you look at the. Show heyotani the last eight,
games he's hitting at one seventy. One Mookie, bentz who
was out here early, today last eight games hitting at
one twenty. Nine Michael kntford to the last eight games

(07:44):
is hitting one twenty. Five so, yeah there's some work
to get. Done you just hope that your club does
not going to slump with multiple. Hitters but right now
that's where The dodgers find.

Speaker 8 (07:53):
Themselves, well if you're looking for a good news, matchup
Sho Hee otani has two hits Off Mitch. Keller both
are home.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Runs, yeah and a couple of guys right behind him
also have home. Runs bets's homeward against, Him freeman his
homeward against him as, well And Max munsey has also
hit one. OUT i also thought that For munsie some
better approaches last. NIGHT i made a COMMENT i watched
him at bandic practice yesterday AND i thought the swings
were much much. BETTER i think he's getting closer and
closer to really breaking.

Speaker 8 (08:18):

Speaker 1 (10:15):
All, Right.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Kirrison The dodgers playing just under five hundred baseballs after
an eight to no start to this. Season the offense
has kind of gotten into a funk. Ride, now This
dodger offense kind of needs to get back to the.

Speaker 9 (10:27):
Basics, Yeah And Dave roberts today he was asked just about.
That he said that when you look at the, offense
you've seen, moments whether it's highs or. LOWS i Mean
chicago's obviously they put a lot of runs on the.
Board they didn't come home with the, wins but you
were seeing the offense getting things. Going as of last,
night you didn't really see that as the. Case so
he was saying that when he looks at the, hitters,

(10:49):
well he really wants to see them as being proactive
in the batter's, box being aggressive in hitter. Zones so
if they can do, that attack the. Starter this is
a team that when things are going really well for,
them they're getting to the bullpen, early getting a starter
out of the, game and taking advantage of things early
in the. Game so if they can just get back to,
That dave said that he's felt like just as of,
late they've been a little too, careful kind of easing

(11:11):
their way into ad, bats and so he wants them
to be on the attack and be a little bit more,
aggressive and if they can do, that hopefully they can
kind of get some. Momentum Even Michael kunfordo said last, night, like,
look these, guys they're, grinding they're working through, things and
hitting can be. Contagious we've seen it happen here At Dodger.
Stadium we've seen it happen with this. Team so, hopefully you,
know one guy can kind of be that spark and

(11:32):
we can see just the effect of that throughout the.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
Lineup Roki sasaki gets to, start and last time out
we saw him In. Texas he was really.

Speaker 9 (11:39):
Good he was really, good and everyone was hoping he
was going to pick up his first win of the,
season his first big league. Win but of course we
know that The rangers were able to walk it off
in that, one and even after that, Game kurbyates was just,
like you, know they put a good swing on. It
he's been having a great year thus, far as he's
going to continue as. Such but For, roki last week

(11:59):
was a big outing for him to be able to
go through six, innings to get deeper into the, game
to have more control of his, stuff just be in
the strike. Zone that's something That Dave roberts really wants
to see in this one. Tonight so for, him it's
just kind of a. Continuation with each startup he can
kick up where he's left, off and he's been able
to do just that thus, far and so hopefully he can,

(12:20):
be you, know the. Stopper it's a big role for
a young, guy but for him to maybe set the
tone in this one, tonight it could be a really
good thing for the, team but ALSO i think for his, confidence.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
No, doubt if they can boost This dodgers team to
snap their three game losing. Strength that would be a big, Thing.
Kiriston we appreciate. It we'll check out with you after the.
Game still to come here On marongo because you, Know

Speaker 5 (14:21):
WAS cool i mean just really just about executing and
you know sometimes there's a, you know two or three
in the in the run column when, you execute but today.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Was zero so it.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Felt good gloat we pulled.

Speaker 8 (14:33):
It out you've faced this, lineup before but it. Is
elite what did you?

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Buy comparison feel you did?

Speaker 10 (14:39):
Better tonight?

Speaker 5 (14:41):
EXECUTED better i MEAN they i mean you saw it
today with a lot of the hits that. They, got
like even when you execute, your pitches they're still gonna
they're still gonna find ways to get on, and uh
that's not EXACTLY like i definitely executed better TODAY and
i did the other two TIMES that i, Faced them

(15:02):
but that's just kind of the nature. Of it they're,
they're they're, you know really good hitters and just, you
know found ways to to get, you know. THROUGH innings,
i know you threw sixteen curve BALLS that i believe it.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
Was tonight how pleased b with how that?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Pitch?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Worked yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:17):

Speaker 11 (15:17):
Good.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
DEFINITELY yeah i did a did a you know good
job kind of resetting their eyes and a couple of
things and misses in there. At times, BUT yeah i
mean you kind of got to do different things when
when you face guys. Like THAT so i was pleased.
With it wasn't one of those games where it just
felt like everything was working for you. At times early

(15:41):
my heater command was pretty, PRETTY poor, i thought actually to,
AN extent i thought it was pretty poor throughout, the
game but.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Kind of had IT when i.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Needed it we knew what pitches we could, go to,
you know to, get outs to get, weak contact and
we went to them and we. Needed to so the
bullpen before the game. Was good but that's a little.
Misleading sometimes so it, felt good.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
It wasn't.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
It wasn't, you know there were some big misses in,
There too so it wasn't like, everything was, you. Know
firing and also and there's just kind OF when i needed,
TO execute i. Executed, him yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
He executed, Last Night paul skeins looked really good pitching
into the. Seventh Thinning the dodgers had their opportunities in
the fourth and the. Fifth Inning, freddie freeman a, leadoff
double reached the third on the air And the dodgers
could not drive. Him in at, that point it was
a zero's or one. Zero game dodgers could have tied
things up as it is it they could not score
in the bottom of. THE fourth a two run top
of the fifth For the pirates and they go on

(16:41):

Speaker 1 (17:24):
The game first pitch coming up a. Six Ten.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Joining tim Kates on Dodgers, ON deck i accept everybody
for who.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
They are This is Dodger Insider. David basse, ALL.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Right dv dodger fans want to know what's going on
With the?

Speaker 10 (17:39):
Big, THREE yeah i think everybody wants to find an
answer for. Those guys but the, reality is if you
look At Which shoho tawny in particular has, done recently
he's sitting under, two hundred he's just eight for his last.
Forty two then you Look At, mookie betts he's hitting a,
book seventy he's just eight for his last. Forty Five

(18:03):
And freddie freeman's trying to find his, footing after, you
know reaggravating that right ankle which he had surgery on
during the. Op seasons so, you know a lot of
these guys have had op seasons where they weren't able
to put in the normal op, season preparation and it's
showing in the first month of. The Season the Dodgers.

(18:23):
Need otani he's a fifty to. Fifty guy he. Carried
them they're counting. On him They Need, mookie betts and
you have to wonder everybody Focuses on mookie's defense had
shortstopped tim but is his focus on trying to be
the best shortstop as he can be taking away his
preparation to be as good of a hitter as we've

(18:44):
seen him be, Great.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Question david is driven.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
By four if there's one thing, we like, its choices
fine yours with the fort f one to fifty gas hybrid,
all electric tough this mark and only BE called f.
One Fifty rookie sasaki gets to. Start tonight he looked
Okay against texas. Last weekend ANY concern dv With the
velo being, down Last.

Speaker 10 (19:02):
Dart well the focus is On the Vello Because roki
sazaki made the focus be about his. Fastball velocity during
his courtship of deciding where he's going, to sign he
had teams submit their own homework on how they could
help his, fastball velocity which dipped last Year in japan
and in his last Start, in texas like, you mentioned

(19:24):
his fastball velocity dip to as low as ninety four miles.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
An hour he's a.

Speaker 10 (19:28):
Longer guy he's got, long arms he's got, long legs
and when, that happens it's hard to sync. It up
and when his body is not syncd up in his
pitching rotation and he loses, his balance that's when you're
going to see fastball. Velocity dips so there's no injury concern,
Right Now, dave roberts who you'll hear, from later is

(19:49):
not concerned. About it it's just a matter of having
his mechanics. Lined up when his mechanics are, not good
that means his fastball velocity is.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
GOING down i feel like we're talking about concerning things For,
the dodgers and we're going to add to That With.
Max munsey david hasn't had a hit in over, a
week has just as many home runs as YOU and i.
This season what's the Concern With max munsey in?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
The?

Speaker 10 (20:11):
Offense, really Well Yesterday max munsey was wearing some. Prescription
goggles he's still getting used. To him today he was.
Wearing sunglasses don't know if they were a prescription during,
betting practice but he's trying to keep a brave. Face
on he understands. The criticism he understands that he has
not hit a home run yet, this year and he

(20:33):
understands the priority For the dodgers is for them to
be able to Win The world series again and not
just coast through the first month of. The season so
he Understands the dodgers have. High expectations and his mood
today was better Than what i've seen it in the
last couple, of days so we'll see whether or not

(20:54):
that translates on.

Speaker 6 (20:55):
The, field well certainly need him to get back on
track as well as well as the rest of. The offense,

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Dodger rick, Monday.

Speaker 10 (25:44):
All right rick today's a good day to get a Win.
For the dodgers don't you agree.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
That you hit upon the exact same thing THAT you
and i used to talk about when We Go into.
Dave roberts's office so, first, thing is hey? You know
what you know? What today, Is, he goes?

Speaker 5 (25:59):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (25:59):
What's that more good day to go out and. Win
a ballgame we say it a little bit differently, in
his office, but that's basically and that's the tone that
you have to, approach every.

Speaker 10 (26:08):
Game no doubt, AND last night i know everybody will
Point to, the dodger offense but some games you have
to tip your cap to A Guy.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Like, paul skiing well we talked about it before the
ballgame and one of the things, that we said and
this is, not you, know rocket science runs would be. At,
a Premium well the dodgers could not. Get the premium
they could not come up with. Runs and opportunities but
you get a runner at second base, and nobody out
you need to be able to. Move them, around in

(26:37):
fact he had a runner at third base in. The
fourth inning it's a one. Nothing ball game could not
come up with a score. To tie it but, In
My estimation paul skians last night lived up to. EXACTLY
the billboard i don't know how he came in last
night having lost already two. Games this year the way he,
THREW last night i thought it was the Best game
the dodgers have seen thrown. Against them period.

Speaker 10 (26:58):
How impressed were you by? What he's done because you
always hear about certain pitchers or players that first come
to the league that are. Really hyped up but it
seems like he's. Not just hype he's. The, real deal
no he's.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
THE real deal i mean six and. A third inning
he did not exactly have textbook as far as low
pitch count one hundred, and eight pitches but very effective on.
TOP of it i noticed that what he was able
to do is get ahead occasionally and then kind of,
tickle the plate trying to see if you expand the
strike zone a. Little bit more he had nine strikeouts
in those six and a third So obviously the dodgers

(27:31):
were expanding the zone to. A certain, extent, i thought,
overall you know there's a reason good pitchers are. GOOD and,
consistently i mean he came in. To the ballgame lefties
it hit just one eighty. Nine against him right handers
it hit just. One seventy nine how in the heck
did he lose those two games before the? Victory last
night so his w records now. Three AND two but I,

(27:51):
THINK the, dodgers i thought a couple of guys swung
the bat a. Little bit better and, if you look
first Of All, and andy potts that is a big
boost because the bottom Part of, the dodger lineup if
we look back the, last ten games has not. Been
very Productive if for paz to swing the bat as he,
did last, night, Good, News INDEED.

Speaker 10 (28:11):
Yes and i think we always focus on when a guy's,
not Going Well but pa haz seems to have put
in the work and it's, making a difference not only, At,
the plate rick but also.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
In, Center field yeah dodgers have To Figure. Out mitch
keller one thing that. They do have keller throws a
lot of breaking balls and. The change up we'll find
Out if the dodgers are going to go fishing with,
that change up you'll keep it away, from most, Hitters.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
All right rick can't wait to See what the dodgers
have in store Tonight as The dodgers and, pirates hook
up and It's gonna be sazaki looking for his first.
Major league win i'm sure that's gonna matter, a, Little
bit right.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah it is and you know what, Tonight, IS too
david a great night to.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Get. A, Win.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
David and now what will likely be vast a fielding
Insults from. A dodger player it's an.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Engagement of endearment this this.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
High and.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
Tight all right we're in the manager's office with the
man that has one of the best babbleheads out, there
this season And That's. Manager, dave roberts dave thanks a lot.

Speaker 11 (30:27):
For the, Time, Appreciate, it no dave thank.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
You so.

Speaker 11 (30:30):
Much it's exciting i've got some family that's coming up
that is going to be here, at the ballpark and
they did a nice job, with the babblehead so.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
It'd be.

Speaker 11 (30:38):
Good you know it's another day coming off A, loss
to schemes and the guys came in today ready to
go and hopefully get a Get a major. League one
tonight what do you want to see?

Speaker 10 (30:48):
From your team your identity as an offense since you've
been the manager is to take your walks and. Pass
the baton how does those players get?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
BACK to that i think.

Speaker 11 (30:57):
A little bit i just want to see our guy
starting to impose their. WILL on pictures i think that
we're a little bit sort of chasing our tails and,
letting pitchers dictate. Dictate at bats and obviously they HAVE
the baseball, i understand that but there is a, way
that you as a hitter can dictate AT bats and
i want to be more assertive in. The batter's box

(31:20):
and where does?

Speaker 10 (31:20):
That ALL start because i know you as a player
always had a plan, during batting practice you had a plan.
In the cage how do players kind of flip that
mentality of trying to hit a three run home run with.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Nobody, On BASE yeah.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
And i think it certainly starts with the mindset the work,
in THE cage which i feel the work of the cage.
HAS been consistent i do think that the mindset we
can sort of change and get kind of to that
mindset of scaring people out. Of the zone and certainly
there's not a lack of talent, with OUR offense but

(31:54):
i do, think that collectively if we get that kind
of mindset of scaring guys out, of the, zone that
mindset the preparation will manifest itself.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
In, a ballgame david it's so easy to pick out
the guys that are not swinging, the BAT well but
i wanted to bring up THE guys that i feel
have really done a great job for your, offense this
season In, particular Tom Yedman ti Oscar Hernandez. And will
smith where would you be without?

Speaker 11 (32:18):
Those, THREE guys well i. Have no, Idea you know
tommy has found his, powerstroke this year and he's. JUST
very dependable i can play him, at second base run
him out there, in center field hit him anywhere, in the,
order hits, left hits right and he's just so dependable.
As a ballplayer and he's gotten huge, hits for us
And with what, tayo has done he just has a

(32:41):
KNACK for the rbi and getting. A BIG hit and
i would say he's probably one of the guys that
has the best heart rate when the game is on
the line or, a big spot, and sure enough he
more times than not comes through And, with will smith
the consistency of, play defensively offensively, he's a stalwart and

(33:02):
to have a defensive catcher that you can plug, in,
against left first right. And, be productive, happy he's healthy he's,
playing really well and let's just. Keep managing it but,
TO your question i don't know where we'd be without
the production of. Those three guys.

Speaker 10 (33:16):
Tonight You have roki sazaki. On the mound everybody is so.
Focused on velocity when you see his velocity fluctuate the
way you did in, his last start does that concern
you or is that just a matter of him actually
commanding the baseball better when he's not trying to.

Speaker 11 (33:32):
Throw, ONE hundred yeah i think that it's, certainly not
concerning as we've seen that when he does throw one
hundred and it's in the middle of, the hitting zone.
It gets hit and when he does also, try to
overthrow he. Doesn't COMMAND it so i do think that
the last couple starts he's found a rhythm of as

(33:52):
far as velocity on, where he, can you know get
the velocity but while. Still having command and the last
part OF it is i just think him throwing his
secondary pitch for strikes has been a huge game.

Speaker 10 (34:03):
Changer For, Us dave, roberts dodgers Manager Two time world
series Manager, for the dodgers is joining us here. Before
first pitch when you look at some of your players, That,
are struggling, dave they're human even though they've accomplished a.
Lot of things how do you get their? Confidence, BACK
up well i think.

Speaker 11 (34:21):
THEIR individual conversations i know the hitting coaches are. GRINDING
with them i think it's just more of trying to
get them to be. Who THEY are and i, think
for me careful is not the, way to go especially
when you're talking about in. THE batter's box i just
like that aggressive mentality in, the hitting zone, in your
zone and so with guys, Like You, know michael Mounts

(34:45):
you know, MOOKIE right now i just want those guys
to be aggressive in their hitting zones and then expect,
it to TURN and which i.

Speaker 10 (34:52):
Know it, Will, all right dave thanks a lot.

Speaker 8 (34:54):
For the time great.

Speaker 10 (34:55):
To see you i'm happy for all the celebration, that
you've deserved And certainly the dodgers are very fortunate.
