Speaker 3 (04:43):
Those dark clouds that hovered Over game.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
One we are going to cut through the, overcast guys
in Highlight Clayton krushaw's return to The Major league mound tonight.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
With all the things we could talk. About kersh thirty,
two strike us away from three, thousand all the wonderful
things he's. Done he thrown over forty four thousand pitches
in his. Career how about the last eleven time scenes
faced The. Angels The dodgers have one and he is
eight to oh with at one point two.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Era So i'm gonna go and base it On kersh coming.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Back great.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
Celebration we love, this but also the fact that he
brings a little intensity also to what this team means right.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Now it has been a long. Road the last couple
of years have been really tough On. Kershaw he's now
thirty seven years. Old he's not that far removed from
shoulder surgery this past. Offseason, thankfully it wasn't the shoulder
or the, arm it was the knee and the, foot
a procedure on the foot specifically that he, SAYS i
think one or two other baseball players have ever. Had

(05:40):
and yet despite all of his, accomplishments the future first
Ballot hall Of famer probably should be. Unanimous but we
don't want to get into THE bbwaa right. Now he
still has the desire to come back and. Perform he
does not want to let an injury stop him from
pitching in the major. Leagues he wants to go out
on his, terms and he has dictated that throughout his
career in different versions of.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Himself AND i think For, kersh it was quite clear
during the parade last year that he just felt this
tug to, SAY i want to go out with this
organization as much as he is good friends with a
guy in texass, like, no this is my team AND
i want to do it, here BUT i want ye
see why, stairway BUT i want to do it. Here
and you can't blame the guy that understands what the

(06:22):
culture was when he, arrived when he was the horse.
Year and also now that there's transition time with the
influx of a lot of young, talent especially international, TALENT
i Think kersh wants to be a piece of the
whole thing to. Win and no doubt in my mind
that we have Seen kersh reinvent himself so many. Times this.
Version i'm looking forward to. It but it's not forget

(06:42):
about something. Too just two years Ago Clayton kershaw led
The dodgers and starts and who would have thought?

Speaker 8 (06:49):
That?

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Right And Clayton kersher when he is on it's not
about ninety five. Anymore he knows how to mix here and.
There but for, sure let's see how the league reacts
whatever he has velocity, wise tilt wise and. Movement why
is without slider because that is the key.

Day it really has been a, while but we're all
so excited whenever, Ever Clayton, kershaw when he comes into the,
picture when he's on the, mound there's a different level
of intensity and that is something THAT i think this
whole team is excited for. It Dave robert said last
night that he is really excited for it just because right, now,
look we saw the loss last, night we know what's
been happening to the. Rotation there are so many guys

(10:03):
are on the il at the, moment so he brings
it just it's the perfect timing and he brings a
different type.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Of jolt of.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
Energy So dave even said it's pretty much like a
shot in the. Arm so for this group to have
that right, now it's best case. Scenario there are no
limitations on him today since he's come out of his rehab.
Assignment he said that once he was able to get
past the toe that knee, injury not even thinking about,
it he's able just to. Compete that Was that's what
it's been like for his last few. Outings so now

(10:31):
he feels he's in a really good spot heading into
this one.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Today The dodgers can certainly use another arm and this
is great news for them Getting Clayton kerr shot back
and start number, one and they'll slow roll him out
here for the rest of the season as as long
as he stays. Healthy speaking of, healthy The dodger's going
to give back a couple of infielders and.

Speaker 9 (10:48):
Outfielders, yeah So Tommy edmund lightly be the first. One
so the hope is that he returns to the lineup.
Tomorrow Tayoscar hernandez decided that he wanted to go on
a rehab, assignment so he's with The rancho team right.
Now he's gonna be in the lineup tonight playing in right.
Field dave said he's gonna take about two or three
at bats. Tomorrow if he does go out, there it's
gonna be a day game for. Them dave, said he'll

(11:10):
probably be THE dh if he does do, that but
it is completely up to him on how he feels
coming out of this one. Tonight but the hope is
that he's gonna be returning back to the lineup On.
Monday so these guys are gonna be back very. Soon
that's just more arms for Ta oscar of COURSE rbi
leader impact, guy so that will be huge for the.
Offense but it does leave the big Question marcus to

(11:32):
what does that mean for the, Roster so we're all
gonna have to find out. Together but it's a big,
one so it'll be an interesting to see how things
play out the next few.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
The questions For Dave, dave can you just Describe?

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Dave can you talk about the pressure.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
In the dugouts With Dave.

Speaker 8 (13:23):
Roberts dalton's gonna be catching AND i think kind of
the the thought was H Tyler anderson is a neutral,
guy potentially, reversed Gives dalton a good. Chance lines Up
will With kakouchi kind of just separates the, days but

(13:47):
there's not a whole lot of thought into. It will's
going to Catch clayton a.

Speaker 7 (13:51):
Lot delton At chris his rehabit.

Speaker 9 (13:56):
Sign three of them share what if with that, relationship
with how Much delton is taking and also making yes with.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
Two of them were sitting on the bench talking to each.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
Other just is this another opportunity for him to.

Speaker 9 (14:10):
Grow and kind of prepare himself on, understanding you, know
working with the feature hold your.

Speaker 8 (14:14):
Evens the first, TIME i, think So i'm not afraid of.
IT i Know clayton's fine with. It certainly a good
experience For. Dalton, yeah they they kind of chatted on
the bench last night just preparing for. Tonight you, know
obviously they're going to do their scouting report pictures catcher meeting,
shortly but, yeah there's familiarity. There dalton has been in

(14:37):
camp with us for a few, years So i'm not
too overly, concerned BUT i do think it will help
its growth for.

Speaker 7 (14:43):
Sure that's first day there any alimitations on, me especially
accounts of just hitch chute or making.

Speaker 8 (14:51):
You're being AND i honestly no LIMITATIONS i think for.
Me and that's one thing That clayton wanted, to you,
know assurance on is that when he gets back that
we've like we can just run him out there and
be a normal. Picture So i'm going to kind of
treat him as, such and if he feels like he
deserves more at, least we'll run him out there and
if it gets a little, wonky then we'll.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Pivot you you can answer this question giving away, secrets
WHICH i KNOW i could, do but be calling the
game With clayton be calling the.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
GAME i think it's, well it's going to Be, dalton
But clayton ultimately has a last right of. Refusal BUT
i think that it's going to Be it's going to Be. Dalton.

Speaker 9 (15:32):
Yeah the other, Day clayton kind of spoke about coming
into the start of the season with even more.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Gratitude you, know what does just eighteen seasons and.

Speaker 8 (15:43):
This kind of era of the, game you know mean,
WELL i think that OBVIOUSLY i can only speak to
WHAT i know from you, Know, clayton but obviously there's
not being away from, it not being able to do
what you. LOVE i think there's a part of it
as seeing the finish. LINE i think a part of
it is seeing your older kids see you and having

(16:09):
a memory etched in their minds as they get. OLDER
i think there's some motivation with, that AND i think
just overall potential opportunity to pitch for this. CLUB i
think he's certainly, really like you, said grateful for All, right.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
There's Dave roberts talking about number twenty, Two Clayton, kershaw
who makes his return. Tonight as we continue here On
Marongo Casino dodgers On, deck we'll check in With David,
vasse get the very latest On Dlon, rushing who will
be Catching Clayton kershaw, tonight and Get dave's thoughts on
the return of number twenty. Two that's all coming up
for leading you up to first pitch from The Ravine

(16:44):
dodgers And angels On Tim.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
Kakes's The World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio Nowork.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
As we were, saying, yes Is Marongo Casino dodgers on
jack on the official home Of La Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Baseball it's A dodgers and The, angels the return Of Clayton.
Kershaw Former Dodger Tyler anderson on the mound for The
halos first pitch coming up at six.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Ten.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
Joining Tim kats On dodgers On. DECK i accept everybody
for who they. Are this Is dodger Insider david bai or, RIGHT.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
DVI i CAN'T i can't stop thinking about the interview
you had With Clayton kershaw earlier this. Week really insightful
to hear him talk about how eager he Is david
to come back and pitch after all the.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Injuries, yeah it's something that meant a lot to him
because he did not want to go out with a bad,
knee a bad. Foot he obviously was upset he couldn't
be more part of The dodgers postseason last, year but
certainly was a supportive teammate and that's all he could.
Do so he wanted to be all in with that

(17:50):
as much as he possibly could. Be but this means
a lot to, him means a lot to his, Family
it means a lot to The dodgers to Have Clayton
kershaw back on the. Mount he means a lot being
around the team because everybody just sees how hard he
works and the work ethic he, has and he kind
of sets the tone for the rest of the pitching

(18:11):
staff and other players on the. Team this guy's in
his eighteenth, season he's going to.

Speaker 7 (18:16):
The hall Of.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Fame he has His Cy, youngs he has his, MVPs
but he's the first guy on the, Field so that
sets the tone for everybody else in that. Clubhouse and
the question, Today tim is where's the fastball velocity going
to be and is it going to be enough to
create the separation that he needs from his slider and

(18:37):
you not only just the slider that goes to the
back foot of right handed, hitters but the slider that
appears to look like a. Cutter is it going to be?
Enough but the one thing everybody discounts is the competitive
nature Of Clayton. Kershaw he will outcompete whoever's in that batter's.
Box he may not have the same fastball he even
had last, year but he's going to find a. Way

(18:59):
he always finds a, way and he's not going to tap.
Out so that's one thing we can be certain of.
Today david is shriven by. Fourth there's one thing we,
like it's choice to find Yours with The FORD f.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
One fifty gas hybrid all electric tough this mark can
only be CALLED f one. Fifty for so many years
we saw a J ellis behind the, Play Austin barnes
behind the, Play Will smith Catching Clayton kershaw, tonight he's
gotta have another catcher In Dalton.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Rushing and they're not strangers Because Dalton rushing Caught Clayton
kershaw's last rehab, starts so they do have a rapport
with each, other And kershaw even Praised Dalton rushing after
that rehab start that he really enjoyed throwing to, him
so he's comfortable with. Him Dalton rushing is a guy
that's going to take the lead Of. Kershaw he's not

(19:45):
going to be going out of bounds here and calling
his own. Game kershaw will be calling his. Game and
the pregame routine With kershaw certainly is a big deal
For Dalton rushing and he has the self confidence to
be able to be settled back there as the. Receiver
and also you Heard Dave roberts mention this in his press.
Conference The dodgers want to Get Will smith off his

(20:06):
feet more so he's more fresh for the second half
of the. Season, tomorrow The angels have a left hander
and you Say kakouchi on the mound a day game
after a night, Game so it made sense to Have
rushing catch tonight And Will smith catch the day game.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Tomorrow it's time out for The dodger.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Derby as we look at the races At San anita

Champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
Network this Is Marongo, Casino dodgers on dech on your

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Leading up To dodgers And.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Angels Clayton kershaw makes his twenty twenty five. Debut first
pitch coming up at Six tenlent's back out To Dodger.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Stadium David vasse And jose.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Mode, guys all right host for the first time this,
season we could say It's Kershaw. Day pretty exciting day
here At Dodger.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
Stadium always, energy, intensity, history, presence all present here today
Because kersh brings something that very few have in the,
game with, longevity with.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
SUCCESS i, mean his winning percentage in baseball is the.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Top, Right this guy stays in, games and he's told
you this many, times and he's told me. This you
pitch to, win not to, compete not to just get
your team a. Chance you pitch to. Win and hopefully
because he had a little prolonger prolonged, rehamp we'll see
him with no, limitations as They robert, said go out
there and get some runs and win.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Tonight did you catch that play he made in his
last rehab start where he was able to come off the,
mound grab the baseball that was down the third, baseline
turn and. THROW i feel like that's the last check
mark to believe that he's. Healthy that's, right BECAUSE i
did see that, play and now that you MENTIONED i
remember him spinning and throwing it with no rush.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Whatsoever considering that he could be worrying about the knee
and about the, toe he pretty much said If.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm on the, mound If i'm on the, field is
Because i'm ready to.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Contribute i'm.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
Glad he Told Dave roberts that about you, know the
limitations today and just let me be somebody that's just
a Normal polson out.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
There so that takes you to a couple of.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
Things number one is any decision made On kershel tonight
will be, strategic not. Presets so he condicted a lot
of what happens here tonight in terms of how many,
pitches how far he. Goes but at some, point if
he's cruising and he's at a certain amount of, pitches
there's no need to push.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Him but hopefully he'll get through five.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Innutes.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah the one thing About kershaw that's been talked about
in his rehab starts is the fastball. Velocity is that
something that could affect him moving? Forward if his velocity
is below ninety miles an, hour it could affect him
if he doesn't locate.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
It BUT i Think kersha has reinvented himself so many
times that he is more, Dominant he's more slighter. Dominant
we know that the slighter seeming a strike in the
outer half early against an aggressive team and a young.
Team if they get to chase a, lot he's not gonna.
Matter but if he has no command and he leaves
out of a, plot it could be a very low
night against. Him BUT i just don't see that happening

(26:07):
because he's gonna be amped up for this. Importance, PERSONALLY
i want to see him get closer and closer with
a couple more kays here and get through the three thousand.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Soon.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
YEAH i asked him about, THAT a couple of springs to.
Goo is that driving him to try to achieve three
thousand strikeouts he's only thirty two. Away he, said absolutely.
Not this is about his. Kids this is about not
being taken out by. Injuries.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
Yes AND i think the mentality in his narrative and
his mindset has changed a little bit since lassired, suit,
saying If i'm, healthy there's no inder line. Here If i'm,
Contributing i'm going to continue to. Pitch But, DAVE i
want to ask you, This if you're that close to
something like, THAT i just, can't in my human mind
think that it's not a driving force nothing continue to,

(26:48):
pitch but to SAY i need to get back to
pitching and get to that mark or get through that,
mark but certainly it's.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Gonna be in his.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
Mind.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, well it's kind of like a guy that's two
home runs, away five home runs away from, five five
hundred and three, hundred whatever it. Is you hope That
kershaw doesn't try to chase strikeouts because if his fastball
velocity's not, there it's gonna be hard to chase thirty two.
Strikeouts he's gonna be. Hard it's gonna take a, while
but we'll see how it all.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
COMES i, mean last time he was on the mound
in a full, season he did lead The dodgers and,
starts so obviously he's a different kurshow. Now but also
the you, know his fastball average ninety last time he
pitched in a full, season along with the slider to eighty,
six eighty. Nine BUT i want to just see their.
Separation he's always told me that, Too like it could
be that my fastball is not WHERE i needed to,

(27:33):
be BUT i need to separate the slider from a
little bit more so it doesn't all look the same
to the.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
Hitter.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Right the one thing we know is that he's going
to outcompete, Everybody so that's gonna be something you can't.
Measure he's going to try to impose his will on
This angel lineup and everybody.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
Else As Freddick freeman has told me many many, times
it was no fun to face. Him but he can
make every pitch look the same and make you look
bad on any. Pitch, yeah that's, right everybody says it
comes right out of the same. Spot that's what makes it.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Tough, Thanks.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Jose we'll check back in with you And Steven nelson

excited about. That and, yeah it just feels good to
finally like play catch again and like be able to work.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
On something instead of just being cautious about the pain coming.
Back i'm.

Speaker 12 (30:47):
Sure, yeah thrown with pain. Sucks you don't notice it
when you're in. It you, know you're just like it's
going to go, away because that's usually what we go,
through and you're, like it's just, early, oh go. Away
but it's pretty tough when it. Didn't you, know LIKE
i probably should have stop throwing before opening, day BUT
i wanted to pitch so bad that you, know we

Speaker 7 (38:05):
Saying, yes Is Marongo Casino dodgers on tack, on the

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Baseball it's The dodgers And, angels the return Of Clayton
kershaw for The. Blue first pitch coming up at six.
Ten when The boys In blue play at a, home
it's important they have the right plan to protect their.
House the same applies to your. Home always have a
plan and follow fire safety. Tips for, example before set
up a, campfire make sure you get a permit from

(38:33):
CalFire and choke check local. Restrictions know how to properly
set up a campfire and extinguish it using the drowned
stir and field. Method always have a water supply and
shovel nearby to extinguish your. Campfire for more about these
tips than to find out, others visit fire dot ca dot.
Go let's head back out to the booth before first.
Pitch Stephen, Nelson Jose mode guys.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
All, RIGHT.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Tc last visit With jose motor before first pitcher and
go through a few keys in this. Game Clayton kershaw
his twenty twenty five season, debuts first start in The
major since Last august, thirtieth coming off a couple of offseason.
Surgeries his left knee and they fix up his meniscus
and then left. Foot there's a bone, spur some, arthritis
a ruptured planter. Plate none of that sounds, appealing but

(39:17):
all that in the rear view For kershaw now he's
just worried about getting major league hitters out. Again the
key against This angels team For kersh will be What jose.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
Go out there and see how much they want to.
Spread they're gonna be quite aggressive against. Them they're gonna
be looking at that radar guard and, said, well we
can get to this. Guy and then you're savvy needs
to take part and, say, okay they're looking for pitches
early to go out there and. ATTACK i have to
be smart early and have enough. Command WHAT i feel
comfortable about in that regard is the fact That kersh
And i'm glad this happened this, year got a prolonged rehab.

(39:48):
Stint this was not a go out there and get
three and come. Back it was pretty much how you bounce.
Back it's the knee you mentioned the, foot and also
the arm from a couple of years. Ago so he's
had to really learn some things with balance and delivery
and all those. Things so hopefully all that would add
to pitches on the verge where guys are, chasing and
then he can reach swings to work of a young

(40:09):
catcher who caught him over IN triplea In.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
Dalton, yeah so you just led me into my next
question before we get out of. Here you, know one
of the keys is going to be that relationship we
see Between Clayton kershaw And Dalton. Rushing this is just
the second major league start For rushing behind the plate
and he's catching in Future hall Of famer In Clayton.
Kershaw and so how would you want the young backstop
to approach this for this opportunity he has.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Tonight As dave said earlier, Today, hey he's going to
call the, game but the ultimate pitch is going to
be in the ward Of Clayton. Kershew a Boy kersh
and he worked together Actually april thirtieth in that rehab
stent five, innings three on, runs four, strikeouts a couple
of whole, months sixty six pitches so and last night
it's been pretty much the entire game going over things and.
Conversation BUT i Think kersh is a type of guy that'd, go,

(40:55):
hey you have a feel for, something you see somebody
standing in the battle, spots just make a call and
we'll see if we go from. There BUT i don't
think he wants to take anything that will derail the
confidence of a young catcher because he's worked with quite a.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Few Dalton rushing is being joined By Miguel rojas And
keith K hernandez playing Behind Clayton, kershaw so that that
kind of takes you back a little bit if you're
number twenty, two that's for. Sure starting opposite an old
teammate And Tyler anderson of The. Angels The dodgers trying
to even this three game set against The. Halos we'll
be back.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
With you for first. Pitch Timp all, right thank, you.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
Nell, yeah it's a special.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Night keep it right, Here dodger fans the return Of
Clayton kershaw his eighteenth season wearing A dodger. Uniform he'll
take the, Mount will we come? Back two hundred and twelve,
wins a two fifty CAREER era, two nine hundred and
sixty eight, strikeouts two seven and forty two and two
third innings pitch all top five in The dodger. Organization

(41:53):
