the Day, your o Taani rewind is coming up, and
in just a few minutes we'll head out to the
gapin Motors Broadcast booth. And here from Tim NEVERERTT and
(01:44):
Rick Monday. Well, last night the Dodgers jumped out to
the yearly lead, only to see it go away and
then win in extra innings. Yeah, the Dodgers had Dustin
May on the mountain last night. Pitched into the sixth inning,
five and a third innings officially for Code Red, and
he got plenty run support. It started in the bottom
of the first inning Freddie Freeman RBI single scoring show,
(02:06):
Hey Otani, And just like that, three batters in the
Dodgers a one to nothing lead, then in the third,
Mookie Betts with a single to left, scoring Max Muncy
that gave the Dodgers a two to nothing lead, and
the fourth, the Dodgers continued, Miguel Rojas with an RBI
double to left scoring Andy Paez, Dodgers on top three
to nothing. In the fifth, ta Oscar Hernandez, who had
(02:28):
already homered him back to back games. Could he make
it three in a row for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Woodwards said, Phone to ring Daily, and you'd see the
name Mookie Bets popping up.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
On his collar. Id.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Tai Oscar swings and hammers won the left. It is
deep and is heading back toward the wall.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It is gone. A home run tao.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Oscar Hernandez a two run shot, and it's five nothing.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Tai Oscar with his two hundred first career homer.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
There's ninth of the season.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
And his third in consecutive games.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Stay hot. Sey Oscar Hernandez third straight game in a row.
With the home run, a two run shot just over
the wall in left field, Dodgers a five to nothing lead. However,
that lead would go away a half inning later. Top
of the six, Eric Wagerman an RBI single off Dustin May.
Two batters later, bases loaded for Anthony Bonda, who gave
(03:28):
up a home run, a Grand Slam home run. Yes,
just like that, A five to nothing Dodgers' lead turned
into a five to five tie to extra innings. They
went in the top half of the eighth inning. Sanchez
doubled to right with two outs that scored a run
for the Marlins. Arap six to five. Dodgers chasing a run.
Bottom half of the tenth inning, free runner at second,
(03:51):
Michael Confordo Andty Pajez a lead off walk, so runners
on first and second. Keykey hernandez As sacrificed by it,
but moved him over to second and third. One out
for Tommy Edmund.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
So now Tommy Edmund looking at the first pitch from hen.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Rico's pace head right.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Fiel Kipno comes in here, cops pie has Dodgers win it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Tommy Edman walks it off. Seven to six. Dodgers win.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Edmund then waited around.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He smacked it in the right field.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Now the Dodgers hit their nineteenth win of the season,
their second in extra innings.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Dodgers winning on the walk off two run single from
Tommy Edmond in the bottom of the tenth as the
Dodgers come back for a seven to sixth victory over
the Miami Marlins. Dodgers now winners a three in a
row other nineteen and ten on this season. As Kirby
Yates gets the victory in relief. Tonight, the Dodgers look
to keep it rolling with their four straight victory, and
of course that's the top tier play of the game,
(04:57):
brought to by Arco Quality, top tier gas for US.
Dodgers have been playing at a top tier level during
this homestand they look to continued tonight. And what is
a bullpen game? A schedule the bullpen game, Jack Dryer
on the mound. He'll be the opener. With more we
head out to the Galloping Motors Broadcast with Tim neverritt Rick. Monday, guys, Thanks.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Tom very much.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Warming up a little bit at Dodgers Stadium. Going to
be a perfect night to sit out here and watch
a ball game. Dodgers taking Game one against the Marlins
last night, an extra inning seven to six. Tommy Evan
had the walk off hit. Tonight, Sandy al Contra will
be on the mound for the Marlins and Jack Dryer
will start for the Dodgers, the left hand are going
first in a bullpen game. But the Dodgers last night
(05:40):
getting the win, had to come back.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
To do it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It looked like they were in good shape to begin
with up five to nothing, but things got away from
them in the middle Innox.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Well, that game had a lot of twists and turns
and some very clutch hitting and I think really on
both sides. And we saw a grand slam also by
the Marlins in that ball game. And for the Dodgers,
you know, timely hitting when they really needed to see it.
And the other part two tim we've been talking about it.
You know, there was about a two week span there
that the bottom third of the order was not doing
(06:08):
very much except showing up. But at that bottom of
the third now beginning to get on base. And last
night Pie haz Munsey and Rojas all contributing, and then
Tommy Edmond of course with the coming off the bench
in the eighth inning, lined out is first at bat
and then the two run single to win the ball
game at the bottom of the tenth. So if they
(06:29):
continue now and they get that bottom third of the
lineup getting on base, it really gets the top of
the lineup runners in scoring.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Position and as far as the lineup goes tonight, same
lineup as last night. However, they have shuffled a little
bit at the bottom where Munsey's moved up behind Smith
and pie Haz has moved up from the ninth to
the eighth spot. Michael Confordo, who's been struggling, drops back
to number nine.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, we saw a little action earlier today. Is that
you know, every hitter is trying to take extra swings
if you can, especially if you're kind of battling here
and there. Chris Taylor and we talked many times about
simulated games for pitchers. Well, it was a simulated game
for a hitter early this afternoon. Hopefully that's going to
be a big step forward with Chris Taylor.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Chris Taylor contributing off the bench as he got the
pinch run late in the ballgame last night, but again
trying to get his back going to become a good
hitter off the bench again, struggling a little bit now,
all right, Well, with Mookie Betts starting to slowly come
out of it. He's hitting back to back games, so
Tani's hitting back to back games. We really haven't seen
(07:30):
shohel Toani heat up all that much. Saturday, he had
three hits against the Pirates, but still waiting for him
to really take off like we've seen him before. And
Freddy Freeman just continues to be very consistent.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, and here's the reason he talked about the bottom
third getting on base. When you look at Mookie Bence
I mentioned this last night. You know he has the
second highest average with runners in scoring position, not just
this year, We're talking the last three years. Luisa Rise
has the highest particular category, and then right behind Bets
tonight is Freddy Freeman, and Freeman over the last three
(08:02):
years the fourth highest batting average of any hitter in
baseball with runners in scoring position. So indeed, get runners
on base, because you've got some guys coming up, they
can knock them in.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
They really have a feeling that Otani is going to
heat up here in the next few days or so,
maybe starting tonight. Here's why. Here's a number four. Ta
Oscar Hernandez, who's been red hot, has as many home
runs as Otani has RBIs nine.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, but think of the number of at bats that
Atani came up with. He's guaranteed if at least one
every game because he's leading off. But therefore a number
of weeks he got the home plate, there was nobody
on base ahead of him because again seven, eight to
nine spots in the lineup, we're not getting on base.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Hopefully that'll change pretty soon. Twelve hit attack last night,
one of the highest hit totals of the season, behind
the four team they had against Pittsburgh the other night.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So it's a bullpen game.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Jack Dryer will get the start against Sandy Alecantra, the
right handed veteran who was coming off. Tommyjohn on surgeryal
contract two and two and Dryer two and one.
Speaker 1 (09:03):

His ops was over one thousand against the Marlins, East
Wings and Strokes on the right field. That's going to
be down four a day's hip, and Otani's night gets
under way with a single stretching Ober one two. There
goes Otani. Pitches in there are actually low for a
ball and old Janni steals second easily. Seven stolen base
(10:40):
of the season for sho Heltani.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Showy Otani one for two last night, but walked three
times it would score a run and you heard there

Speaker 8 (11:15):
All right, Tommy Edmund, you were you were sitting around
all day and now you're gonna get again.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
God damn, missie. He missed me. Oh man, there he goes.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Hey, you were saying before the game you didn't know
what to do with yourself, but if you figured it
out by the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, I just tried to stay locked in.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
I mean, I saw the game getting close to the
end and knew there's gonna be opportunity to do something,
so I've had to stay locked in.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
How big was what Key k Hernandez did to put
both runners in scoring position.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Got a great job getting the butt down a couple.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Of tough pitches and uh, you.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Know, just stuck his head out there and got the
job done.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Tommy, when you're in that type of situation, do you
know how much you mean to this team? How do
you stay within yourself and not try to get too big?
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, I mean it's it's kind of easy when I
know I got a shower and showing movie and Freddie
coming up after me. You know, I just kind of
feel the confidence that even if I just got to
put a good at bat, even if I don't get
the job done, one of those two guys will, So
it kind of takes a lot of pressure off.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Even as the NLCS MVP last year. I don't think
you ever got a gatorade bath with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
How does that feel now yet?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
First one? First one? Well you got half of it
there right there, But I don't feels good though.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
All good?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Thanks Tommy, congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Appreciate it, all right, Tommy Edmund celebrating with David va
Say and a gatorade bath there after the walk off
win rightfully so for Tommy Tanks, his first in a
Dodger uniform, his six walkoff hit in his major league careers.
The Dodgers get the win last night, and the series
opener against the Marlins coming up here on Dodgers on
(12:49):
Deck will dive deeper in this pitching matchup. David vedsay
it's gonna go one on one with Dodger reliever Tanner Scott.
What up next? We'll get you an injury report, including
an update on Clayton Kershaw, and we'll hear from Dodger
pitching coach Mark Pryor. The Dodgers and Marlins. First pitch
of seven to ten. I'm Tim Kas's World champion. Los
Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home

Speaker 1 (13:18):

Marlins Marongo Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam for
good times. Jack Dryer is your opener for the Dodgers.
Sandy al Contia will go for the Miami Marlins first
pitch coming up at seventen.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
This it's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Los Angeles Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw scheduled to get the starts
for Okac and the comments he will not get the
start tonight because of whether they had to push back
the start of the game a couple of times and
because of the weather there. Clayton Kershot will not be
(14:02):
pitching tonight and did not get the start for Tripaa
ok see, So we'll see when he gets the next start.
Maybe it's a push back tomorrow, but it's certainly not
tonight for Clayton Kershaw. Tyler Glass now on the IEL
at the right shoulder discomfort, Blake trying it on the IL,
Blake Snell on the IL with the left shoulder soreness.
He did take an injection to hopefully get that inflammation down.
(14:23):
Tony Gonsolin one more day on the IL. The catman
returns tomorrow off the injured list. Well instead of checking
in with the Dodger manager, Dodger pitching coach Mark Pryor
been so instrumental on this Dodger team the last eight
to nine years. Let's hear what the Dodger pitching coach
has to say before tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
All right, Mark, what is going on with Tyler Glass?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Do you have any more clarity on what's ailing him? Well,
I mean not right now.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
I mean we're he's going through the steps to try
to figure out exactly, you know, what's going on, you know,
in the acute injury process. You know, he's gonna take
a few days off and then I'll start kind of
getting back into some some pliles and some white throwing,
and then we'll see where we're at in ten to
fourteen days. You know, this is obviously unfortunate for him,
and as he expressed, like very frustrating, as you know,
(15:14):
I think we all can relate to, you know, I
mean personally I can relate to you know, kind of
going down these roads and it's unfortunate. But he's you know,
he's he's a competitor and he does want to be
out there. Unfortunately, he just kind of keeps, you know,
running into these little hiccups and speed bumps on these
last few outings, and you know, it's it's something that
(15:37):
you know, we are trying to wrap our heads around,
you know, whether it's the cramps, whether it's just you.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Know a little bit of a shoulder flare up.
Speaker 10 (15:45):
You know, it's just kind of like some knickknack things
that just kind of keep, you know, keep kind of
kind of holding him down. And it's unfortunate because you know,
in a lot of his side sessions and a lot
of his practice sessions, you know, we could probably make
the argument that his stuff is is at or even
better than it was last year at certain points. Again,
(16:06):
those are practice sessions versus game.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Sessions, so you know, it doesn't.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Really mean anything. But there's nothing that has given us
any reason to think that he wasn't going to go
out there and go out there and perform at a
high level.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
There's Mark pryor some of the answer to that phone.
By the way, it sounds like the bullpen phone again,
as the Dodgers' bullpen has been used a lot. Speaking
of that bullpen, we'll hear from Tanner Scott coming up
in just a little bit, and when we return here
on Morocco Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll hear from the
man himself, David vad Zay. As we lead you up
to first pitch on this Tuesday night, Dodgers playing hosts
(16:39):
of the Miami Marlins. Dodgers winners of three in a row.
Can they make it four straight? First pitch, coming up
at seven ten. I'm Tim Katson. This is the world
champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Dodgers and Marlins. Game two of this three games set.
Jack Dryer, the left hander, will be the opener in
what is a scheduled bullpen game for the Dodger Tomorrow.
Tony Gonsolin gets to start in the finale. Sandi al
Contada is back of following his arm injury a year ago.
He is back one of the best young pitchers in
all of baseball. Go from Miami. First pitch coming up
at seven.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Ten, Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck. I accept
everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Bai.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And David Now joins this game two of this three
game set Dodgers and Marlins and DV the Dodgers going
with a bullpen game yet again. What is the plan
for Dave Roberts.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
Yeah, the difference is tim today was a planned bullpen game,
unlike the other Tyler Glass now starts, including the last
one on Sunday, where the Dodger bullpen had to cover
eight innings. So this was a planned bullpen game, and
that's why Sunday's one inning seventeen pitch outing really put
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers in a precarious position for
(18:03):
last night and also today and even tomorrow with Tony
Gonsolin coming back.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But here's the plan. Jack Dryer is going to start.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
It may be more than one inning if he's able
to get through the first inning clean. They did recall
Matt Sower, who is stretched out as a starting pitcher.
They still have Noah Davis, so they've got guys that
are going to have to go multiple innings. This is
not going to be, you know, an inning by inning
reliever type of bullpeny game. They are looking for multiple
(18:34):
innings from some of these guys, and they're looking from
bulk innings from Matt Sower in particular. So that's the
plan today. They need to get some clean innings from
these guys so they can try to try to put
the mallins away It's gonna be tough tonight, Tim as well,
going up against Cy Young Award winner Sandy ALCNTRA.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
He's back.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Yeah, breaking news, he's back, So it's not gonna be
easy for the Dodgers to score runs.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Davin is driven by four other one thing. We like
his choices by yours with the Ford F one to
fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can only
be called the f one fifty. What's going on with
Mookie Betts?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
David?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
He's gonna slump, but he can't get out of.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
It, big slump and he's not really driving the ball either, Tim,
And it makes you wonder, with so much talk about
his defense, which has been actually pretty good, is that
effort and energy going into trying to be as good
of a shortstop as he possibly can be taken away
from his offense. I believe that's gotta be a question
(19:31):
that has to be asked if this continues, because defensively
he's doing it, but offensively he's not.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Now.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Otani hasn't done it now, Freddie Freeman's not hitting on
all cylinders. So you can say guys to go through
slumps during different parts of the season and Max Munsey,
no home.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Run, confordo slump.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
They're not playing different positions, but Mookie Betts is one
of the best hitters in baseball and we just haven't
seen it this year.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Last night, David, after the Dodgers walk golf win, a
lot of celebration on the field for Tommy Edmund. His
six walkoff basin of his career is first in a
Dodger uniform. The NLCS MVP. You had a chance to
talk to him on the field postgame, and well, it
turns out you got a little wet afterwards.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
What happened, Yeah, it looked worse than it actually was. Tim.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
I told Taoscar Hernandez, who had a bucket of ice
in the gatorade bucket ready to go, I said, hold
on one second, we're about to start this live. And
when I gave him the green light, I thought it
was for Tommy Edmund. Little did I know, ta Oscar
Hernandez had eyes on both of us. And luckily it
was just a little water and a lot of ice.
So it was great for video, great for the still photographers.
(20:43):
But the right side of my suit jacket survived. My
right foot was a little wet, but all good, and
the best part about.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It was it wasn't malicious.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
It was Taoscar being Taoscar Hernandez, who is so inclusive
with everybody that's in his orbit. Great guy, a great teammate,
and again last night home ering three straight games with
the home run for Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Did you give the dry cleaning bill because certainly after
this offseason contract he can he can afford.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It, right, Yeah, yeah, no dry cleaning necessary.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
I said, hey, Taoscar, even if there was yellow gatorade
in that bucket, I would give you a free pass.
Anybody else gets the knuckles, no.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
David appreciate it. We'll check back in with you. Just
love coming up here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck.
We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. We'll go high
and tight. But up next for Dodgers. Magical moment Dodgers

presented by Hawfy Hot Jobs.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
We go back to June sixth, nineteen ninety four, the
Dodgers in Miami taking on the Marlins. The Dodgers Mike
Piazza had a first of his career.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
I drive into deep center and I mean where. It's
four thirty four and it's gone a grand Slam home
run to the deepest part of the ballpark and the
Dodgers take a four to two leads. I'll tell you
what to you, the pitching coach, you gotta say, the gardener,
(22:50):
you deserve it. When you walk both Butler and Eddie Pye,
especially Pie, and you wind up pitching the Piazza, you
gotta expect.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
To get hurt.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
But wow, did he.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Hit it a great Vin Scully on the call, four
hundred and seventy seven feet to straight away center field.
Remember Miami at the time had the second deepest center
field of any park in Major League Baseball behind Tiger
Stadium at the time, which had a four hundred and
forty foot center field fence. So a shot from Mike

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and
World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Rick, you give a lot of people props, but I
gotta give you a lot of kudos for last night
spotting that Michael Confordo was using a torpedo back keyk
Hernandez confirmed it near the dugout.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So you found it, you saw it.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And I sent for those interesting minds want to know,
I sent you a text because you were a TV
guy last night, as you are again tonight, so we
will not have you in the booth. However, you were
down by the Dodger dunkout and I sent you a
text during the game, I said, because we were talking
about the torpedo bats, and I said, I don't remember
(26:16):
anyone other than Max Munsey using it, and he used
it for a brief period of time, went back to
his own bat and the very first a bat after
going back to his own bat got a double that
was on the road trip. So we go back and
I sent you a text. Isn't Conforto using one of
the torpedo bats, and you were down there. But I
understand now you did get a confirm I did.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
Key k Hernandez heard me mention it on the broadcast
last night and he said, yes, it was a torpedo bat.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And the reason that I noticed is that I looked
through the binoculars from the booth because the torpedo bat.
In essence, here's what they've done, very simply. They have
moved the thickness of the barrel a little bit closer
to the label of the bat, in other words, towards
the hands three four inches maybe. So therefore the end
of the bat is now narrower. It's less than the
(27:08):
diameter has to be specified at real three point zero two,
which is two point six one inches in diameter. And yeah,
I happen to notice it, and that's why I sent
you the text. So again it's nice to know that
my eyes were not deceiving me.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
And then I started looking at everybody else's bat, and
I thought Andy Pa has had one as well, because
the barrel of the bat was not as thick.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It seemed to be distributed equally.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It's the end of the bat, but the torpedo bat
reminds me of an R one sixty one model that
was put out by Hillwartch and Bransby for a lot
of years. It's the model named after with the R
one sixty one Frank Robinson. That was his model, which
the barrel of the bat got a little bit thicker,
(27:54):
a little bit sooner than some of the other the
other bats.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Rick.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
When you look at a guy like Michael Confordo, when
you see him struggling and then turning to a torpedo bat,
does that give you a glimpse into his psychea where
he's at right now?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Now, there's nothing wrong with trying something else that what
you're doing is not working. You just don't want to
get overboard and really magnify any any problems. Here's the
advantage in my estimation. I've not used a torpedo bat.
I've not held one, but I've seen one, and I
understand what they're doing. And my first impression when I
(28:30):
heard all the New York Yankees and the physicist and
therefore and here's the deal. They designed a volpia. I
think was the player correct? He was getting jammed with
a lot of pitches. So the barrel of the bat
closer the hands will eliminate him getting jammed by another
maybe two inches, Well, why don't move off the plate
two inches from your stance to begin with? To me,
(28:52):
that would be the most simplistic approach to be able
to do it. But if the torpedo bat helps you
with a different configuration and still the way and balance,
that's the other part about selecting a bat.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's the.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Diameter of the handle. I prefer to thinner bat, And
then what's the diameter of the barrel of the bat.
But how's the weight distributed? How long is it? How
many ounces is that bat itself? And does it feel
right for you? Because that's the biggest thing. If it
feels right, you've got a chance. If it doesn't feel right,
you might as well go to Hope Late with the ukulele.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Yeah, but when you see a guy like confordo struggling,
I don't believe he would have gone to a torpedo
bat if he was on fire.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Maybe not, but maybe it just feels better. Maybe his
his regular bat doesn't quite feel right right now. And
if you're the right frame of mind, you have to
be able to have a bat that it feels better
to you.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
So if you see him come out tonight and go
back to a regular style bat, then are we concerned
about the psyche?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Then I want to be able to check out. Is
it his model bad? Or is he using the bat
of a guy that's really hot?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Okay, get to check out.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, well it's that mental thing. By the way, today
is the anniversary of Lee Ilio. While he was a
manager of the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers beat them in
Wrigley Fields seven to two on this date, nineteen eighty three.
We're not going to go into the tirade, but boy,
that was a dandy. In fact, when that game was over,
someone gave us a copy of the tape in his
postgame interview or rent if you will, and we listened
(30:23):
to it on the way to the airport to fly
out of Chicago.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Oh how many times?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Few?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Thanks Ray.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
We'll check back in with you and Tim Nevertt a
little bit later. But now we'll send it back to
Tim Kats in the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, thanks lot, guys. That's the Dodgers game plan.
What's your game plan? How about starting your future to
California Community college financial aids available to help you with tuition,
the books, sometimes even the rent. It's time to take
that next big step. Dodger fans. Classes can fill quickly,
So enrolled today and I can go to college dot com.
Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, We'll get
you a preview this pitching matchup Brick. We'll be back
(30:57):
with Tim Neverertt. They have the keys to the game.
But up next to go high and tight with Tanner
Scott Dodger reliever to leave you up to Dodgers and
Marlin's first pitch to seven to ten. I'm Tim Kats's
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (31:10):

Speaker 5 (31:55):
And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
a Dodger player.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
This this high and tight.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
Hey Tanner, last night, big milestone in your career, five
hundredth career strikeout against your former team, the Marlins. How
where were you that you were getting close.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
To that number. Didn't even know. I don't pay attention
to it.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
I saw from my wife. My wife let me know,
and I was like, didn't know that, but oh, well,
on to the next one.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
I guess, yeah, I guess, like when you get that
baseball after the game, though, to know it came kind
of full circle pitching against the team where you really
blossom blossom?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Did it mean a little bit more? I didn't get
the ball. You didn't get the baseball?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
I mean I didn't know.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
I didn't know I had any any meeting behind it.
And my wife was like, did you get the ball?
And it's like I didn't even know about it. So
I mean, hopefully we got it somewhere, but if not,
it's okay.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Can you take us through like what really clicked for
you with the Marlins to make you this guy that's
as respected as you are as far as closing games.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
When I got there, I started working hard with Melsotomeyer
Junior and Wellington Cepada and then just uh, when we
had Skip Schumacher, I mean he was confident in me
and I trusted my stuff, and uh, confidence has a
lot to do with baseball. I mean, if you're confident
out there, just move on to the next pitch and
you're always ready, ready, ready to go, and ready ready
(33:17):
for war.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
And it seems like this year you're throwing more strikes
than you ever have before.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Where have the Dodgers taken you?
Speaker 11 (33:26):
I mean, there's there's so many resources here, It's it's incredible.
I mean I go back there and I talked to
Connor Mark Barto, and I just I just look at
what I was doing right, what I need to fix,
because I mean every day I want to I want
to be better than I was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
But what is it about you throwing more strikes this year.
I got no clue.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
I just I'm just trying to attack. So that's so
I was trying to go around the question. I mean,
I don't know, just going out there and try to
trying to get people out and three pitches or less.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Where do you feel like your fastball's at?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Where do you feel like your slider's at at this
point in the season. Well, you know, I answered, I
was talking to el Andrews in Texas.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
He said, he faced you back in the day.
Speaker 11 (34:04):
Elvis Andrews. I think that was with it goes with
Baltimore at the time. Yeah, that's when it was just
mainly fastball. Those times were a lot of strikes, a
lot of balls. It was going everywhere. But uh no,
I mean I feel like you're both at a good
place and uh yeah, I'm just gonna keep rolling with it.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Do you feel like you kind of ease into the
season or as a closer? Is there anything that you
can even come close to even thinking that way?
Speaker 11 (34:28):
Oh? No, I mean, I mean baseball's hard. I mean
it's I think it's the hardest sport there is. And
I mean you gotta go out there and some days
you're on some days you're off, and when you're off,
you have to figure it out. I mean your team's
when teams are relying on you and you're trying to
get out, and I mean ultimately you just you just
want to win every day, and I mean that's our goal.
We try to win every day and just move on
to the next. So I mean, did it start slow, Yeah,
(34:50):
but I mean.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
That's whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, I hear. You just keep going, especially in your position.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
How do you make those mechanical adjustm when you're being
called upon on a nightly basis in the highest of
leverage positions?
Speaker 11 (35:05):
Oh yeah, I mean we have so many resources with Connor,
and I'm just going there and look at all all
the numbers and see where I'm at, see where my
release height is, see where everything is. And I'm a
guy that I need visuals before like reading the numbers.
Like if he'll show me the visuals and I like
look at it and then I'll try to go correct
it that day and catch what Tennor.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Scott's got his best buddy with him, Evan Phillips, who
was just.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You might hate him more now because you guys.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Are around each other a lot more down there in
the bullpen. You guys have been good friends. What's it
like finally to be together in that bullpen?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Oh? No, it's good.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
I mean it's like old times, back in back in
Baltimore from eighteen nineteen all the way up. I mean,
we're close in the offseason. It's good to have him
down there. It's a friendly face coming to a new
place and it's awesome.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
How much is it at this point in time of
the season does a bullpen start to come together as
its own group.
Speaker 11 (36:01):
It's a small family inside of a big family. So
I mean it starts, starts a spring training and then
day one it's it's it's we're locked in, loaded, ready
to go.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
It feels like everybody has their own different role as
a personality.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
You know, who's the guy that cracks the jokes and
keep things.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
Like Kirby Definitely Kirby Yates. The guy's a character that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Back in the day of maybe two or three years ago,
they used to keep tallies on home run predictions for
your own team. Do they still do anything similar to
that down there?
Speaker 11 (36:29):
It seems like a personal question, So, uh, maybe maybe
there is, maybe there's not. Maybe I'm on the board
a couple of times, but maybe I'm not okay, But
so I'm gonna leave the answer of that.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
Tanner Scott's a man of mystery. Why don't you show
America that beautiful bald head of yours? Tony Gonsolin showed
his yesterday?
Speaker 11 (36:49):
Okay, Tony is Tony's like a half bald person, Like
he doesn't fully commit on shaving every other day. I mean,
if you're gonna be bald, you gotta do it every
other day. It's gonna be a nice shine.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Show us how it looks you do that. I mean,
just just zoom in on Al. Al's got a beautiful
ball pack. I'm like, how do I get that? I
want that? You are truly a man of mystery.
Speaker 8 (37:08):
Won't show the head without the hat, You won't tell
us what's going on in the bullpen pool back there?
Speaker 11 (37:14):
All right, I'll bout I'll show my bald head when
you shave yours.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
All right, deal, let's do it perfect. So that's never
gonna happen, exactly.
Speaker 8 (37:23):
I need to keep as much as I got. Tanner,
dang it, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
And lad you're on the Dodgers side now, so is Otani.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
I'm happy to be his teammate. I don't want to
have to face him.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
All right, there's Tanner Scott. I gotta love those relievers.

(39:22):
to the game, our next, I'm Tim Kats's World champion
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Nework.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on

resistant materials when building a deck, replace events with ember
and flame resistant events. Use non combustible fencing materials for
the portion that connects to your house. For more about
these tips and to find out others, visit fire dot
CA dot gov. All right, we've head back out to
the booth, Tim Neverrick Monday, guys.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Tim, thanks again. We're getting a set for the first
pitch of the ballgame tonight. As the Dodgers and Marlins
played game two of this three game set at Dodgers Stadium,
Dodgers nineteen and ten tied for first in the National
League West with the San Francisco Giants. They'll see Sandy
al Contra tonight. Al Contra figure is going to be
one of the most sought after starting pitchers at the
(40:39):
deadline two and two, coming off Tommy John surgery, and
he has not had a particularly smooth beginning to this season.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
No, I think you're a looking at Jack Dryer tonight.
Trust your stuff. Here's what I mean by that. He's
giving up just a one thirty seven batting average against
pitches in the strike zone. It's just a one forty
three average. Here's maybe the rust in the armor. He's
walked ten in fifteen in a third inning. So that's
too many free passes. Cut down with the free passes
(41:08):
because you're not giving up very many hints to begin with.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
Matt Sower expected to get some bulk innings work here
tonight for the Dodgers. He was recalled from TRIPAA Oklahoma
City today and is expected to be active and in
the ball game tonight. So we'll see Matt Sower backup
Jack Dryer in a bullpen game. If the Dodgers can
get a quick inning out of Dryer to begin with,
he may go two and see how many Marlin hitters
(41:33):
he can get through. Sandy el Contra will go for
the Marlins. Dodgers Marlins coming up.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Tim Yeah, first pitch his next bullpen game for the
Boys in Blue. I've all the postgame and win who
the game is. Afterwards, enjoined everybody, I'm Tim Kates, the

then win in extra innings. Yeah, the Dodgers had Dustin

five and a third innings officially for Code Red, and
he got plenty run support. It started in the bottom
of the first inning Freddie Freeman RBI single scoring show,

the fourth, the Dodgers continued, Miguel Rojas with an RBI
double to left scoring Andy Paez, Dodgers on top three
to nothing. In the fifth, ta Oscar Hernandez, who had

And his third in consecutive games.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Stay hot. Sey Oscar Hernandez third straight game in a row.
With the home run, a two run shot just over
the wall in left field, Dodgers a five to nothing lead. However,
that lead would go away a half inning later. Top
of the six, Eric Wagerman an RBI single off Dustin May.
Two batters later, bases loaded for Anthony Bonda, who gave
(03:28):
up a home run, a Grand Slam home run. Yes,
just like that, A five to nothing Dodgers' lead turned
into a five to five tie to extra innings. They
went in the top half of the eighth inning. Sanchez
doubled to right with two outs that scored a run
for the Marlins. Arap six to five. Dodgers chasing a run.
Bottom half of the tenth inning, free runner at second,
(03:51):
Michael Confordo Andty Pajez a lead off walk, so runners
on first and second. Keykey hernandez As sacrificed by it,
but moved him over to second and third. One out

Speaker 7 (04:21):
Edmund then waited around.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He smacked it in the right field.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Now the Dodgers hit their nineteenth win of the season,
their second in extra innings.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Dodgers winning on the walk off two run single from
Tommy Edmond in the bottom of the tenth as the
Dodgers come back for a seven to sixth victory over
the Miami Marlins. Dodgers now winners a three in a
row other nineteen and ten on this season. As Kirby
Yates gets the victory in relief. Tonight, the Dodgers look
to keep it rolling with their four straight victory, and
of course that's the top tier play of the game,
(04:57):
brought to by Arco Quality, top tier gas for US.
Dodgers have been playing at a top tier level during
this homestand they look to continued tonight. And what is
a bullpen game? A schedule the bullpen game, Jack Dryer
on the mound. He'll be the opener. With more we
head out to the Galloping Motors Broadcast with Tim neverritt Rick. Monday, guys, Thanks.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Tom very much.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Warming up a little bit at Dodgers Stadium. Going to
be a perfect night to sit out here and watch
a ball game. Dodgers taking Game one against the Marlins
last night, an extra inning seven to six. Tommy Evan
had the walk off hit. Tonight, Sandy al Contra will
be on the mound for the Marlins and Jack Dryer
will start for the Dodgers, the left hand are going
first in a bullpen game. But the Dodgers last night
(05:40):
getting the win, had to come back.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
To do it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It looked like they were in good shape to begin
with up five to nothing, but things got away from
them in the middle Innox.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Well, that game had a lot of twists and turns
and some very clutch hitting and I think really on
both sides. And we saw a grand slam also by
the Marlins in that ball game. And for the Dodgers,
you know, timely hitting when they really needed to see it.
And the other part two tim we've been talking about it.
You know, there was about a two week span there
that the bottom third of the order was not doing
(06:08):
very much except showing up. But at that bottom of
the third now beginning to get on base. And last
night Pie haz Munsey and Rojas all contributing, and then
Tommy Edmond of course with the coming off the bench
in the eighth inning, lined out is first at bat
and then the two run single to win the ball
game at the bottom of the tenth. So if they
(06:29):
continue now and they get that bottom third of the
lineup getting on base, it really gets the top of
the lineup runners in scoring.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Position and as far as the lineup goes tonight, same
lineup as last night. However, they have shuffled a little
bit at the bottom where Munsey's moved up behind Smith
and pie Haz has moved up from the ninth to
the eighth spot. Michael Confordo, who's been struggling, drops back
to number nine.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, we saw a little action earlier today. Is that
you know, every hitter is trying to take extra swings
if you can, especially if you're kind of battling here
and there. Chris Taylor and we talked many times about
simulated games for pitchers. Well, it was a simulated game
for a hitter early this afternoon. Hopefully that's going to
be a big step forward with Chris Taylor.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Chris Taylor contributing off the bench as he got the
pinch run late in the ballgame last night, but again
trying to get his back going to become a good
hitter off the bench again, struggling a little bit now,
all right, Well, with Mookie Betts starting to slowly come
out of it. He's hitting back to back games, so
Tani's hitting back to back games. We really haven't seen
(07:30):
shohel Toani heat up all that much. Saturday, he had
three hits against the Pirates, but still waiting for him
to really take off like we've seen him before. And
Freddy Freeman just continues to be very consistent.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, and here's the reason he talked about the bottom
third getting on base. When you look at Mookie Bence
I mentioned this last night. You know he has the
second highest average with runners in scoring position, not just
this year, We're talking the last three years. Luisa Rise
has the highest particular category, and then right behind Bets
tonight is Freddy Freeman, and Freeman over the last three
(08:02):
years the fourth highest batting average of any hitter in
baseball with runners in scoring position. So indeed, get runners
on base, because you've got some guys coming up, they
can knock them in.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
They really have a feeling that Otani is going to
heat up here in the next few days or so,
maybe starting tonight. Here's why. Here's a number four. Ta
Oscar Hernandez, who's been red hot, has as many home
runs as Otani has RBIs nine.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, but think of the number of at bats that
Atani came up with. He's guaranteed if at least one
every game because he's leading off. But therefore a number
of weeks he got the home plate, there was nobody
on base ahead of him because again seven, eight to
nine spots in the lineup, we're not getting on base.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Hopefully that'll change pretty soon. Twelve hit attack last night,
one of the highest hit totals of the season, behind
the four team they had against Pittsburgh the other night.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So it's a bullpen game.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Jack Dryer will get the start against Sandy Alecantra, the
right handed veteran who was coming off. Tommyjohn on surgeryal
contract two and two and Dryer two and one.
Speaker 1 (09:03):

be down four a day's hip, and Otani's night gets
under way with a single stretching Ober one two. There
goes Otani. Pitches in there are actually low for a
ball and old Janni steals second easily. Seven stolen base

Speaker 8 (11:15):
All right, Tommy Edmund, you were you were sitting around
all day and now you're gonna get again.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
God damn, missie. He missed me. Oh man, there he goes.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Hey, you were saying before the game you didn't know
what to do with yourself, but if you figured it
out by the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, I just tried to stay locked in.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
I mean, I saw the game getting close to the
end and knew there's gonna be opportunity to do something,
so I've had to stay locked in.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
How big was what Key k Hernandez did to put
both runners in scoring position.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Got a great job getting the butt down a couple.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Of tough pitches and uh, you.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Know, just stuck his head out there and got the
job done.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Tommy, when you're in that type of situation, do you
know how much you mean to this team? How do
you stay within yourself and not try to get too big?
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, I mean it's it's kind of easy when I
know I got a shower and showing movie and Freddie
coming up after me. You know, I just kind of
feel the confidence that even if I just got to
put a good at bat, even if I don't get
the job done, one of those two guys will, So
it kind of takes a lot of pressure off.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Even as the NLCS MVP last year. I don't think
you ever got a gatorade bath with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
How does that feel now yet?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
First one? First one? Well you got half of it
there right there, But I don't feels good though.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
All good?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Thanks Tommy, congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Appreciate it, all right, Tommy Edmund celebrating with David va
Say and a gatorade bath there after the walk off
win rightfully so for Tommy Tanks, his first in a
Dodger uniform, his six walkoff hit in his major league careers.
The Dodgers get the win last night, and the series
opener against the Marlins coming up here on Dodgers on
(12:49):
Deck will dive deeper in this pitching matchup. David vedsay
it's gonna go one on one with Dodger reliever Tanner Scott.
What up next? We'll get you an injury report, including
an update on Clayton Kershaw, and we'll hear from Dodger
pitching coach Mark Pryor. The Dodgers and Marlins. First pitch
of seven to ten. I'm Tim Kas's World champion. Los
Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home

Speaker 1 (13:18):

Marlins Marongo Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam for
good times. Jack Dryer is your opener for the Dodgers.
Sandy al Contia will go for the Miami Marlins first
pitch coming up at seventen.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
This it's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Los Angeles Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw scheduled to get the starts
for Okac and the comments he will not get the
start tonight because of whether they had to push back
the start of the game a couple of times and
because of the weather there. Clayton Kershot will not be
(14:02):
pitching tonight and did not get the start for Tripaa
ok see, So we'll see when he gets the next start.
Maybe it's a push back tomorrow, but it's certainly not
tonight for Clayton Kershaw. Tyler Glass now on the IEL
at the right shoulder discomfort, Blake trying it on the IL,
Blake Snell on the IL with the left shoulder soreness.
He did take an injection to hopefully get that inflammation down.
(14:23):
Tony Gonsolin one more day on the IL. The catman
returns tomorrow off the injured list. Well instead of checking
in with the Dodger manager, Dodger pitching coach Mark Pryor
been so instrumental on this Dodger team the last eight
to nine years. Let's hear what the Dodger pitching coach
has to say before tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
All right, Mark, what is going on with Tyler Glass?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Do you have any more clarity on what's ailing him? Well,
I mean not right now.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
I mean we're he's going through the steps to try
to figure out exactly, you know, what's going on, you know,
in the acute injury process. You know, he's gonna take
a few days off and then I'll start kind of
getting back into some some pliles and some white throwing,
and then we'll see where we're at in ten to
fourteen days. You know, this is obviously unfortunate for him,
and as he expressed, like very frustrating, as you know,
(15:14):
I think we all can relate to, you know, I
mean personally I can relate to you know, kind of
going down these roads and it's unfortunate. But he's you know,
he's he's a competitor and he does want to be
out there. Unfortunately, he just kind of keeps, you know,
running into these little hiccups and speed bumps on these
last few outings, and you know, it's it's something that
(15:37):
you know, we are trying to wrap our heads around,
you know, whether it's the cramps, whether it's just you.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Know a little bit of a shoulder flare up.
Speaker 10 (15:45):
You know, it's just kind of like some knickknack things
that just kind of keep, you know, keep kind of
kind of holding him down. And it's unfortunate because you know,
in a lot of his side sessions and a lot
of his practice sessions, you know, we could probably make
the argument that his stuff is is at or even
better than it was last year at certain points. Again,
(16:06):
those are practice sessions versus game.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Sessions, so you know, it doesn't.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Really mean anything. But there's nothing that has given us
any reason to think that he wasn't going to go
out there and go out there and perform at a
high level.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
There's Mark pryor some of the answer to that phone.
By the way, it sounds like the bullpen phone again,
as the Dodgers' bullpen has been used a lot. Speaking
of that bullpen, we'll hear from Tanner Scott coming up
in just a little bit, and when we return here
on Morocco Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll hear from the
man himself, David vad Zay. As we lead you up
to first pitch on this Tuesday night, Dodgers playing hosts
(16:39):
of the Miami Marlins. Dodgers winners of three in a row.
Can they make it four straight? First pitch, coming up
at seven ten. I'm Tim Katson. This is the world
champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Dodgers and Marlins. Game two of this three games set.
Jack Dryer, the left hander, will be the opener in
what is a scheduled bullpen game for the Dodger Tomorrow.
Tony Gonsolin gets to start in the finale. Sandi al
Contada is back of following his arm injury a year ago.
He is back one of the best young pitchers in
all of baseball. Go from Miami. First pitch coming up
at seven.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Ten, Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck. I accept
everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Bai.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And David Now joins this game two of this three
game set Dodgers and Marlins and DV the Dodgers going
with a bullpen game yet again. What is the plan
for Dave Roberts.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
Yeah, the difference is tim today was a planned bullpen game,
unlike the other Tyler Glass now starts, including the last
one on Sunday, where the Dodger bullpen had to cover
eight innings. So this was a planned bullpen game, and
that's why Sunday's one inning seventeen pitch outing really put
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers in a precarious position for
(18:03):
last night and also today and even tomorrow with Tony
Gonsolin coming back.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But here's the plan. Jack Dryer is going to start.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
It may be more than one inning if he's able
to get through the first inning clean. They did recall
Matt Sower, who is stretched out as a starting pitcher.
They still have Noah Davis, so they've got guys that
are going to have to go multiple innings. This is
not going to be, you know, an inning by inning
reliever type of bullpeny game. They are looking for multiple
(18:34):
innings from some of these guys, and they're looking from
bulk innings from Matt Sower in particular. So that's the
plan today. They need to get some clean innings from
these guys so they can try to try to put
the mallins away It's gonna be tough tonight, Tim as well,
going up against Cy Young Award winner Sandy ALCNTRA.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
He's back.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Yeah, breaking news, he's back, So it's not gonna be
easy for the Dodgers to score runs.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Davin is driven by four other one thing. We like
his choices by yours with the Ford F one to
fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can only
be called the f one fifty. What's going on with
Mookie Betts?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
David?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
He's gonna slump, but he can't get out of.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
It, big slump and he's not really driving the ball either, Tim,
And it makes you wonder, with so much talk about
his defense, which has been actually pretty good, is that
effort and energy going into trying to be as good
of a shortstop as he possibly can be taken away
from his offense. I believe that's gotta be a question
(19:31):
that has to be asked if this continues, because defensively
he's doing it, but offensively he's not.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Now.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Otani hasn't done it now, Freddie Freeman's not hitting on
all cylinders. So you can say guys to go through
slumps during different parts of the season and Max Munsey,
no home.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Run, confordo slump.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
They're not playing different positions, but Mookie Betts is one
of the best hitters in baseball and we just haven't
seen it this year.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Last night, David, after the Dodgers walk golf win, a
lot of celebration on the field for Tommy Edmund. His
six walkoff basin of his career is first in a
Dodger uniform. The NLCS MVP. You had a chance to
talk to him on the field postgame, and well, it
turns out you got a little wet afterwards.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
What happened, Yeah, it looked worse than it actually was. Tim.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
I told Taoscar Hernandez, who had a bucket of ice
in the gatorade bucket ready to go, I said, hold
on one second, we're about to start this live. And
when I gave him the green light, I thought it
was for Tommy Edmund. Little did I know, ta Oscar
Hernandez had eyes on both of us. And luckily it
was just a little water and a lot of ice.
So it was great for video, great for the still photographers.
(20:43):
But the right side of my suit jacket survived. My
right foot was a little wet, but all good, and
the best part about.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It was it wasn't malicious.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
It was Taoscar being Taoscar Hernandez, who is so inclusive
with everybody that's in his orbit. Great guy, a great teammate,
and again last night home ering three straight games with
the home run for Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Did you give the dry cleaning bill because certainly after
this offseason contract he can he can afford.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It, right, Yeah, yeah, no dry cleaning necessary.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
I said, hey, Taoscar, even if there was yellow gatorade
in that bucket, I would give you a free pass.
Anybody else gets the knuckles, no.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
David appreciate it. We'll check back in with you. Just
love coming up here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck.
We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. We'll go high
and tight. But up next for Dodgers. Magical moment Dodgers

Speaker 1 (22:15):

Dodgers in Miami taking on the Marlins. The Dodgers Mike
Piazza had a first of his career.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
I drive into deep center and I mean where. It's
four thirty four and it's gone a grand Slam home
run to the deepest part of the ballpark and the
Dodgers take a four to two leads. I'll tell you
what to you, the pitching coach, you gotta say, the gardener,
(22:50):
you deserve it. When you walk both Butler and Eddie Pye,
especially Pie, and you wind up pitching the Piazza, you
gotta expect.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
To get hurt.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
But wow, did he.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Hit it a great Vin Scully on the call, four
hundred and seventy seven feet to straight away center field.
Remember Miami at the time had the second deepest center
field of any park in Major League Baseball behind Tiger
Stadium at the time, which had a four hundred and
forty foot center field fence. So a shot from Mike

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and
World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Rick, you give a lot of people props, but I
gotta give you a lot of kudos for last night
spotting that Michael Confordo was using a torpedo back keyk
Hernandez confirmed it near the dugout.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So you found it, you saw it.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And I sent for those interesting minds want to know,
I sent you a text because you were a TV
guy last night, as you are again tonight, so we
will not have you in the booth. However, you were
down by the Dodger dunkout and I sent you a
text during the game, I said, because we were talking
about the torpedo bats, and I said, I don't remember
(26:16):
anyone other than Max Munsey using it, and he used
it for a brief period of time, went back to
his own bat and the very first a bat after
going back to his own bat got a double that
was on the road trip. So we go back and
I sent you a text. Isn't Conforto using one of
the torpedo bats, and you were down there. But I
understand now you did get a confirm I did.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
Key k Hernandez heard me mention it on the broadcast
last night and he said, yes, it was a torpedo bat.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And the reason that I noticed is that I looked
through the binoculars from the booth because the torpedo bat.
In essence, here's what they've done, very simply. They have
moved the thickness of the barrel a little bit closer
to the label of the bat, in other words, towards
the hands three four inches maybe. So therefore the end
of the bat is now narrower. It's less than the
(27:08):
diameter has to be specified at real three point zero two,
which is two point six one inches in diameter. And yeah,
I happen to notice it, and that's why I sent
you the text. So again it's nice to know that
my eyes were not deceiving me.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
And then I started looking at everybody else's bat, and
I thought Andy Pa has had one as well, because
the barrel of the bat was not as thick.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It seemed to be distributed equally.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It's the end of the bat, but the torpedo bat
reminds me of an R one sixty one model that
was put out by Hillwartch and Bransby for a lot
of years. It's the model named after with the R
one sixty one Frank Robinson. That was his model, which
the barrel of the bat got a little bit thicker,
(27:54):
a little bit sooner than some of the other the
other bats.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Rick.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
When you look at a guy like Michael Confordo, when
you see him struggling and then turning to a torpedo bat,
does that give you a glimpse into his psychea where
he's at right now?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Now, there's nothing wrong with trying something else that what
you're doing is not working. You just don't want to
get overboard and really magnify any any problems. Here's the
advantage in my estimation. I've not used a torpedo bat.
I've not held one, but I've seen one, and I
understand what they're doing. And my first impression when I
(28:30):
heard all the New York Yankees and the physicist and
therefore and here's the deal. They designed a volpia. I
think was the player correct? He was getting jammed with
a lot of pitches. So the barrel of the bat
closer the hands will eliminate him getting jammed by another
maybe two inches, Well, why don't move off the plate
two inches from your stance to begin with? To me,
(28:52):
that would be the most simplistic approach to be able
to do it. But if the torpedo bat helps you
with a different configuration and still the way and balance,
that's the other part about selecting a bat.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's the.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Diameter of the handle. I prefer to thinner bat, And
then what's the diameter of the barrel of the bat.
But how's the weight distributed? How long is it? How
many ounces is that bat itself? And does it feel
right for you? Because that's the biggest thing. If it
feels right, you've got a chance. If it doesn't feel right,
you might as well go to Hope Late with the ukulele.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Yeah, but when you see a guy like confordo struggling,
I don't believe he would have gone to a torpedo
bat if he was on fire.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Maybe not, but maybe it just feels better. Maybe his
his regular bat doesn't quite feel right right now. And
if you're the right frame of mind, you have to
be able to have a bat that it feels better
to you.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
So if you see him come out tonight and go
back to a regular style bat, then are we concerned
about the psyche?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Then I want to be able to check out. Is
it his model bad? Or is he using the bat
of a guy that's really hot?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Okay, get to check out.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, well it's that mental thing. By the way, today
is the anniversary of Lee Ilio. While he was a
manager of the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers beat them in
Wrigley Fields seven to two on this date, nineteen eighty three.
We're not going to go into the tirade, but boy,
that was a dandy. In fact, when that game was over,
someone gave us a copy of the tape in his
postgame interview or rent if you will, and we listened
(30:23):
to it on the way to the airport to fly
out of Chicago.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Oh how many times?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Few?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Thanks Ray.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
We'll check back in with you and Tim Nevertt a
little bit later. But now we'll send it back to
Tim Kats in the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, thanks lot, guys. That's the Dodgers game plan.
What's your game plan? How about starting your future to
California Community college financial aids available to help you with tuition,
the books, sometimes even the rent. It's time to take
that next big step. Dodger fans. Classes can fill quickly,
So enrolled today and I can go to college dot com.
Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, We'll get
you a preview this pitching matchup Brick. We'll be back
(30:57):
with Tim Neverertt. They have the keys to the game.
But up next to go high and tight with Tanner
Scott Dodger reliever to leave you up to Dodgers and
Marlin's first pitch to seven to ten. I'm Tim Kats's
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Well, this is Morongo Cassino Dodgers hunting on your home
for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Dodgers and Marlins, Jack Dryer Sandiel. Content of the Pitching
match Up Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Zen
She Sushi. Yeah, joy some Zen She handcrafted sushi. It's

poke bulls as well. Find zen She near the deli
counter at Rows Zench Sushi always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
a Dodger player.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
This this high and tight.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
Hey Tanner, last night, big milestone in your career, five
hundredth career strikeout against your former team, the Marlins. How
where were you that you were getting close.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
To that number. Didn't even know. I don't pay attention
to it.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
I saw from my wife. My wife let me know,
and I was like, didn't know that, but oh, well,
on to the next one.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
I guess, yeah, I guess, like when you get that
baseball after the game, though, to know it came kind
of full circle pitching against the team where you really
blossom blossom?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Did it mean a little bit more? I didn't get
the ball. You didn't get the baseball?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
I mean I didn't know.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
I didn't know I had any any meeting behind it.
And my wife was like, did you get the ball?
And it's like I didn't even know about it. So
I mean, hopefully we got it somewhere, but if not,
it's okay.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Can you take us through like what really clicked for
you with the Marlins to make you this guy that's
as respected as you are as far as closing games.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
When I got there, I started working hard with Melsotomeyer
Junior and Wellington Cepada and then just uh, when we
had Skip Schumacher, I mean he was confident in me
and I trusted my stuff, and uh, confidence has a
lot to do with baseball. I mean, if you're confident
out there, just move on to the next pitch and
you're always ready, ready, ready to go, and ready ready
(33:17):
for war.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
And it seems like this year you're throwing more strikes
than you ever have before.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Where have the Dodgers taken you?
Speaker 11 (33:26):
I mean, there's there's so many resources here, It's it's incredible.
I mean I go back there and I talked to
Connor Mark Barto, and I just I just look at
what I was doing right, what I need to fix,
because I mean every day I want to I want
to be better than I was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
But what is it about you throwing more strikes this year.
I got no clue.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
I just I'm just trying to attack. So that's so
I was trying to go around the question. I mean,
I don't know, just going out there and try to
trying to get people out and three pitches or less.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Where do you feel like your fastball's at?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Where do you feel like your slider's at at this
point in the season. Well, you know, I answered, I
was talking to el Andrews in Texas.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
He said, he faced you back in the day.
Speaker 11 (34:04):
Elvis Andrews. I think that was with it goes with
Baltimore at the time. Yeah, that's when it was just
mainly fastball. Those times were a lot of strikes, a
lot of balls. It was going everywhere. But uh no,
I mean I feel like you're both at a good
place and uh yeah, I'm just gonna keep rolling with it.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Do you feel like you kind of ease into the
season or as a closer? Is there anything that you
can even come close to even thinking that way?
Speaker 11 (34:28):
Oh? No, I mean, I mean baseball's hard. I mean
it's I think it's the hardest sport there is. And
I mean you gotta go out there and some days
you're on some days you're off, and when you're off,
you have to figure it out. I mean your team's
when teams are relying on you and you're trying to
get out, and I mean ultimately you just you just
want to win every day, and I mean that's our goal.
We try to win every day and just move on
to the next. So I mean, did it start slow, Yeah,
(34:50):
but I mean.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
That's whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, I hear. You just keep going, especially in your position.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
How do you make those mechanical adjustm when you're being
called upon on a nightly basis in the highest of
leverage positions?
Speaker 11 (35:05):
Oh yeah, I mean we have so many resources with Connor,
and I'm just going there and look at all all
the numbers and see where I'm at, see where my
release height is, see where everything is. And I'm a
guy that I need visuals before like reading the numbers.
Like if he'll show me the visuals and I like
look at it and then I'll try to go correct
it that day and catch what Tennor.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Scott's got his best buddy with him, Evan Phillips, who
was just.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You might hate him more now because you guys.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Are around each other a lot more down there in
the bullpen. You guys have been good friends. What's it
like finally to be together in that bullpen?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Oh? No, it's good.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
I mean it's like old times, back in back in
Baltimore from eighteen nineteen all the way up. I mean,
we're close in the offseason. It's good to have him
down there. It's a friendly face coming to a new
place and it's awesome.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
How much is it at this point in time of
the season does a bullpen start to come together as
its own group.
Speaker 11 (36:01):
It's a small family inside of a big family. So
I mean it starts, starts a spring training and then
day one it's it's it's we're locked in, loaded, ready
to go.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
It feels like everybody has their own different role as
a personality.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
You know, who's the guy that cracks the jokes and
keep things.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
Like Kirby Definitely Kirby Yates. The guy's a character that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Back in the day of maybe two or three years ago,
they used to keep tallies on home run predictions for
your own team. Do they still do anything similar to
that down there?
Speaker 11 (36:29):
It seems like a personal question, So, uh, maybe maybe
there is, maybe there's not. Maybe I'm on the board
a couple of times, but maybe I'm not okay, But
so I'm gonna leave the answer of that.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
Tanner Scott's a man of mystery. Why don't you show
America that beautiful bald head of yours? Tony Gonsolin showed
his yesterday?
Speaker 11 (36:49):
Okay, Tony is Tony's like a half bald person, Like
he doesn't fully commit on shaving every other day. I mean,
if you're gonna be bald, you gotta do it every
other day. It's gonna be a nice shine.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Show us how it looks you do that. I mean,
just just zoom in on Al. Al's got a beautiful
ball pack. I'm like, how do I get that? I
want that? You are truly a man of mystery.
Speaker 8 (37:08):
Won't show the head without the hat, You won't tell
us what's going on in the bullpen pool back there?
Speaker 11 (37:14):
All right, I'll bout I'll show my bald head when
you shave yours.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
All right, deal, let's do it perfect. So that's never
gonna happen, exactly.
Speaker 8 (37:23):
I need to keep as much as I got. Tanner,
dang it, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
And lad you're on the Dodgers side now, so is Otani.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
I'm happy to be his teammate. I don't want to
have to face him.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
All right, there's Tanner Scott. I gotta love those relievers.

(39:22):
to the game, our next, I'm Tim Kats's World champion
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Nework.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
jip On, the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Dodgers and Marlins. Game two of his three games set.
Dodgers going with the opener planned opener Jack Dryer bullpen
game the rest of the way, Sandy A. Contada will
go for the Marlins first pitch coming up at seven
to ten. When the boys in Blue play at home,
it's important they have a game plan that is right
to protect their house. The same applies to your house.
Always have a plan and follow fire safety tips. For example,
(39:57):
user install ignition resistant materi around your home. Use fire
resistant materials when building a deck, replace events with ember
and flame resistant events. Use non combustible fencing materials for
the portion that connects to your house. For more about
these tips and to find out others, visit fire dot
CA dot gov. All right, we've head back out to
the booth, Tim Neverrick Monday, guys.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Tim, thanks again. We're getting a set for the first
pitch of the ballgame tonight. As the Dodgers and Marlins
played game two of this three game set at Dodgers Stadium,
Dodgers nineteen and ten tied for first in the National
League West with the San Francisco Giants. They'll see Sandy
al Contra tonight. Al Contra figure is going to be
one of the most sought after starting pitchers at the
(40:39):
deadline two and two, coming off Tommy John surgery, and
he has not had a particularly smooth beginning to this season.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
No, I think you're a looking at Jack Dryer tonight.
Trust your stuff. Here's what I mean by that. He's
giving up just a one thirty seven batting average against
pitches in the strike zone. It's just a one forty
three average. Here's maybe the rust in the armor. He's
walked ten in fifteen in a third inning. So that's
too many free passes. Cut down with the free passes
(41:08):
because you're not giving up very many hints to begin with.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
Matt Sower expected to get some bulk innings work here
tonight for the Dodgers. He was recalled from TRIPAA Oklahoma
City today and is expected to be active and in
the ball game tonight. So we'll see Matt Sower backup
Jack Dryer in a bullpen game. If the Dodgers can
get a quick inning out of Dryer to begin with,
he may go two and see how many Marlin hitters
(41:33):
he can get through. Sandy el Contra will go for
the Marlins. Dodgers Marlins coming up.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Tim Yeah, first pitch his next bullpen game for the
Boys in Blue. I've all the postgame and win who
the game is. Afterwards, enjoined everybody, I'm Tim Kates, the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network
