Welcome to Dodgers on Tech. Now your host walking you
up to first pitch. Tim kas Hi.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Everybody, Welcome to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, your official
Dodger pregame show. You're world champion. Los Angeles Dodgers twenty
nine and eighteen on this season, hanging on to first
place a top the NL West after taking two or
three from the Athletics to start the homestead. The Dodgers,
fresh off getting swept by the Anaheim Angels and now
(01:05):
the homestand continues, was the first of three against the
Arizona Diamondbacks. As the Dodgers will go with Jack Dryer
for the opener, Land and Neck. We'll get a bullk
of the Indians. First pitch on this Monday night from
Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven to ten on
Ven's Gully Bobblehead Night out at Dodgers Stadium coming up
over the next hour here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck,
(01:26):
You're gonna get the very latest from our Dodger insider
David Vase. He'll go one on one with Dodger reliever
Matt Sower, Righetti High School's own who's got himself a
win and himself save already on the season for the Dodgers.
We're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts, will dive
deeper into this pitching matchup. We got your Dodgers magical moment.
Kirsten Watson from sports Net LA stops by and at
(01:47):
just a few minutes we hend out to the Gallpin
Motors broadcast booth with Steven Nelson and Jose Motol. Yesterday
at the Ravine, Tony Gonsolin had a couple of catman
lives at it, and it started in the first when
he gave up a solo home run to the very
first batter, Zach netto a home run to Love center field,
(02:07):
and just like that, the Angels were up one to nothing.
And then the blood started flowing for the catman, who
went to his second life in the game as the
blister or cut cuticle, whatever it is on the thumb
healed up, not before a bunch of blood on the
side of his pants. But three batters later, Taylor Ward
went deep. Just like that first half inning of the game,
the Angels were on top of the Dodgers three to nothing.
(02:28):
Travis Darnaut added an RBI single in the third, and
the Dodgers were down four to nothing. You say Kukuchi
was rolling for the first four plus sittings until the
bottom of the fifth was showy Otani delivered with an
RBI single that got the Dodgers on the board up
four to one. In the seventh, Will Smith would tie it.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Will Smith can tie the game with one swing. This
ball is hitting the air to left fielding deep.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
This ball is good.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Just like that, we are tied.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Hey laser the left from Will Smith. A three run
shot evens a scoreboard at four a piece.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Will Smith deliverers with the three run home run and
that is the top tier play of the game, brought
to you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for last
than Dodgers come all the way back and tie things
up in the seventh inning. Angels Dodgers tied at four.
That though quickly change in the top half of the
eighth inning, Travis Darnault, oh.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
No bona frustrated after that call, soon on the three
to one and Darnault hits it a mile in the
air to left field. This ball breaks the tie halfway
up the pavilion in the section to the right of
the Dodger bullpen, and the tie didn't last very long.
Travis Darnault's first of the year makes it five four Angels, Bankwood's.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Own Travis dar and a couple of rveis yesterday. That
one hurts a solo home run to the left and
that gave the Angels at five to four lee the
Dodgers couldn't recover. The Angels will attack on another at
the top of the ninth and they go on and
beat the Dodgers six to four. What really stings is
the Dodgers got swept in all three games of this
Freeway series, first time the Angels have swept the Dodgers
(04:24):
since two ten yikes fifteen years ago. Now the Dodgers
got to get back at it tonight to Oscar Hernandez's back.
Dodgers are back, new looking lineup and a new team
in town with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer gets the
start first pitch to seven to ten on this Vin
Scully Bobblehead night, and with more we head out to
the Galpamotors broadcast booth as we welcome in Stephen Nelson
(04:44):
in Jose Modeguys.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Thanks Tim, Well, the sun came up on this Monday.
Despite the tough weekend for the Dodgers getting swept at
home by the Angels, it has not been the greatest
start to this homestand and part of another downward stretch.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Jose.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
It's been a streaky season for the Dodgers and right
now they're in a little bit of a swoon.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
How do they get out of it? Oh, they get
out of the way.
Speaker 9 (05:06):
They have done it all throughout the season by finding
what the next game is gonna bring. And I think
the Dodgers have done a very good job just putting
that last page over keep peeling those layers of the
paint and see what's new. But I think what I
look forward to this series is that first inning to
be a shutdown inning and more chances where the offense.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Do not have to play from behind right from the
get go.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
It's an excellent point because in all three games against
the Angels, the Halos put up runs in the first inning.
They also scored runs in the ninth inning of all
three of those games, and the pitching staff as a
whole has been giving up more and more runs. It
seems like the bullpen workload is finally catching up with
this team and this staff.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So you think about workload, right, you think about.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Fatigue, location, there's a playerful of the things that affects that,
including repetitions by the other teams, assist a little bit
more of you, right, So they see you a little
bit more, They see where your patterns are, they know
where you like to stay in certain areas and in
certain situations of the game, and then you become a
little more predictable. So the less they see those guys
in the bullpen way better for many reasons, including all
(06:11):
those ones that I just pointed out.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
So now it's what's unfortunate is is the timing of
this because the Dodger pitchers, yet again, they're not lining
up and scheduling their injuries properly. Say they need to
space these out a little bit more. But this is
entering really the toughest stretch of the year. I would
say these next four weeks, there won't be another four
week chunk as difficult as this one will be for
the Dodge.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's a challenge, and you got to go out there
and face it up.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
You still were gonna have with a perfect healthy team,
no matter what, you were gonna have to play good baseball.
You're still gonna have that target on your back. And
the moment is nobody feels sorry for you for the injuries.
And last season the Dodgers had more people spending days
in the aisle than anybody else and it was not
an issue whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Now and it's concerning.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Let's be realistic, because you just don't know how guys
are going to react to all these challenges. Who's gonna
be exposed a little bit more. The pitching obviously becomes
number one issue right now, but hopefully we'll see is
how about the starting pitchers make a turnaround here when
they really needs it.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
It'll be Jack Dryer opening tonight in front of Landon Knack,
who's expected to take down the bulk of the innings
against Brandon Fott, the diamondback right hand or who really
he gave up some loud contact against the Dodgers at
Chase Field last week, but ultimately he didn't break. He bended,
he bent, but he did not break. But to that
point that we're talking about, tim, as we get it
(07:29):
back to you, the Dodgers really just one game above
five hundred this year when playing teams with the winning record.
In the next twenty nine games as we sit here
right now are against winning teams. So the Dodgers are
hoping that one they can get healthy. Certainly they are
from an offensive standpoint. Time we having back to Oscar
Hernandez returns tonight. Now the pitching hopefully that follows here soon.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Yeah, let's hope there. Nelly appreciates we got you down
to first pitch. Dodger fans, get that game day meal
on It's shake He's pizza parlor. What you waiting for?
What are your shake?
Speaker 3 (08:00):

Dodger reliever Matt Sour. You're gonna hear from the manager himself,
Dave Roberts. We will check in with the Dodger insider
David Vets. We break down this pitching match up. Your
magical moment is coming up in less than thirty minutes.
But up next to your Otani and rewy Am when
(08:21):
we heard from Kirsten Watson from Sports Net LA. As
we lead you up to first pitch on Vin Scully
Bobblehead Night out at the Ravine Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Thanks
for being with us. I'm Tim Kass, the world champion
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Now, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your
home for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
It's a Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Is the home stank intinues
on this Vin Scully Bobblehead Night for the first forty
thousand in attendance. Jack Dryer is your opener. Brandon Fought,
who the Dodgers saw just a couple of weeks ago.
We'll go for the snakes first pitch at seventeen.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
This is the Yotani.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Re why here's another two to two pitch. Otani, he
flares it over the head of the third basement Moncatta
and in between Moncata and Taylor.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Award in left.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
That's a two out base hit, show hey is award
With two down, four to nothing, Halos payoff pitch coming,
Otani pulls it the right field for a base hit.
Kick Key Hernandez runs.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Through a stop sign to play at the play not
in time, show, Hey, Oldtani, here's the Dodgers on the
board with an RBI base hit.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's now four to one. Shoe hey.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Otani had three of the Dodgers five hits yesterday, including
that RBI single in the fifth inning. Otani three for
five the RBI a strikeout, now hitting three thirteen on
this season, slugging at six sixty five. Unfortunately, the Dodgers
fell to the Angels yesterday sixty four.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Hey Kerson now joins from the stadium. Brought to you
by Cars for Kids. Ready to donate that old car?
Call eat seven seven Cars for Kids right now. Friendly
agents are standing by to take your donation. That's Cars
with the k Donate your Car. Today, the Dodgers back
at it New Day News series, and the lineup looks
really good with a lot of guys back.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Yeah, with both Tommy Edmund as well as ta Oskar Hernandez,
you're finally just getting back to.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
A full strength lineup.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Before Tioscar went onto the IL, I mean, he was
the team r WEI leader and so for him now
to be back into a position that's been a big thing.
It's just making sure we're getting guys home to put
more runs on the board. So of course, with both
of these guys coming off of lower body injuries, so
for Tommy the ankle, for Tioskar has groin, that does
mean that they can't just immediately go back to being
(10:46):
everyday players right now. Of course Dave Roberts wants to
do that, but he did say today that you know,
his gut reaction is to, you know, make sure that
they're playing for the long game, not the short game
right now. So they likely won't play in all three
of just this series with the Diamondbacks. But on the
flip side, that's kind of exciting because that means that
there's gonna be different opportunities for someone like Kisan Kim
(11:08):
to kind of find ways to get out there, and
even for someone like Andty pot Has, even though he's
more of an everyday player, just to course down today,
not to line up out there tonight.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
The Dodger's gonna see Brandon Fought, who they saw just
a few weeks ago over in Arizona. Last time they
saw him. Six and a third shutout innis.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
Yeah, but you know what, if you really like kind
of go into that game and break down a few things.
They had the roof open in Arizona. The ball plays
a little bit differently when that's the case, and there were,
honestly quite if there were won a lot of hard
hit balls, but they turned into being out, but those
would have been home runs and other ballparks, including of.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Course Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
So the fact that they were able to get some
hard contact, it'll be really interesting to see just how
that plays now here at Dodger Stadium. Obviously he I
mean he had taken away from him. Yes, there were
hard hit balls, but they were obviously out and he
pitched very well, as you mentioned, getting into the seventh.
But hopefully today they can kind of take what they
learn from that outing, continue to get some contact and
(12:06):
find ways to just put that string them together and
turn them into runs, because that's gonna have to be
the key. And hopefully they can do that early set
the tone in this one, and hopefully they're not playing
from behind, because that has unfortunately been a theme as
of late for this group.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Another thing for this Dodger's team, Dodger pitching not getting
ahead in account.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
Yeah, exactly, and so that has got to be the focus.
Dave Roberts was diving into today, and it's something that
this has been such a key attribute of the Dodgers
when it comes to their pitching. You know, they're efficient,
they get ahead on the count and that's what makes
them so effective. But right now they're kind of getting
away from that. We're seeing long at bats, we're seeing
the pitch count get up, we're seeing more walks than usual,
and so they need to find ways and Dave was
(12:46):
emphasizing it's just if you can get that first pitch
strike and kind of control the count and then be
ahead in the count and not get behind in the count,
that's got to be the key. So hopefully, whether it's
Jack Dryer who's going to serve as the opener today.
Hopefully he can do just that. Then Landon Neck is
expected still to take down the bulk of this game.
That's gonna have to be a key for him, because
(13:07):
if you look at his last two outings, I mean, look, Miami,
he was excellent. Last one against the A's not as much,
and so if he can do that today, hopefully he
can have a quality outing, especially against a team that
we know is going to be aggressive. So he's got
to have to find ways to get that first pitch strike.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
That Dodgers need him to do that tonight, no doubt, Kirston,
we appreciate it. Still to come here on Marongo Casino
Dodgers on deck, will die deep into this pitching matchup.
David Batstate goes one on one with Matt sour. We'll
get you an injury or fourth though, will we come
back in well? Here from the manager himself, Dave Roberts
leaking you up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks on Vince Gully
Bobblehead Night out at Dodger Stadium. I'm Tim Kas's the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Marango Casino Dodgers on Deck continue is on this Monday
night as we lead you up to Dodgers in Diamondbacks
Moronco Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam for a
good times. Jack Dryer and Brandon fought the bitching matchup
in the series opener. First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Good news is hey Oscar Hernandez off the injured list.
He is back and in the lineup for the Dodgers.
Kirby Yates on the I L at the right hamstring strain,
Evan Phillips on the IL to sort right forearm, Tyler
Glass now Blake Snell, both with shoulder inflammation. Blake trying
it on the sixty day IL. Michael Kopex also on
(14:39):
the sixty day IL and Michael Kopek is going to
be at Oklahoma City tomorrow on a rehab assignment with
Triple A Oklahoma City and expected to make two three
more appearances before they'll make a decision on whether or
not to activate him off the I l in fact,
let's heat back out to Dodgers Stadium. In here for
more from the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
One questions for Dave David you just described du Can
you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
In the dugouts with Dave Robberts.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
You know, I just think that you know, Foughts throwing
the baseball well against this good young pitcher, and I
just think that offensively, I think we're doing a lot
of good things. And so I like the lineup of
running out there. I like giving Andy a day off
kind of pushed him a lot. But I like we're
at so I think that you know, he's gonna make pitch,
(15:27):
he's gonna compete, he's gonna spin it, he's got you know,
mid nineties fastball. But I just think we've got We're
gonna go out there and have a good approach. And
you know, for me opening up with Dryer, I think
it just gives land In a little bit more chance
to take down more hitters, and you know, and then
we'll see kind of where we land. You know, after
(15:48):
he's out of the game, do you see a.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Bad time getting slip up or a kid seem like
a Borno has kind of work way out to pull
a multiple well.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
I think Andy is an everyday player, and I think
that I've shown that he's earned it with a sporadic
off day. I think that with Kim getting Tommy uh
some days once in a while, I think getting Tail
a day here or there once he to get his
feet back on, legs back under him. I think we'll
(16:19):
give Michael a day here in the next two so
then I think that'll be a way to kind of
keep you know, Kim involved, So you know, I say,
you know, I would probably say three and a half
times a week getting him in there to start, and
also he's gonna come into games too.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about how he's going
to moon over the chess pieces around the chess board
with the lineups every day on this Dodgers team. Interesting
to hear how they're going to approach what's coming up
on the schedule. We continue here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers
on deck. We'll find out more from the Dodger insider
David Mats for leading you up to first pitch on
Vin Scully Bobblehead Night, Dodgers First pitch set for seven
(17:01):
to ten. I'm Tim Kates' is the world champion Los
Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Homestand continues with the Dodgers and Diamondbacks at the start
of a three game series. Jack Dryer and Brandon font
the pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at seven.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Ten, Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
This is Dodger insider David Base all right, DV.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
A lot of talk about the rotation the pitching staff.
This Dodgers bullpen feels like it's getting thinner and thinner.
What are their options?
Speaker 12 (17:47):
Yeah, it's The options are for the offense to pick
up the pitching staff like they have been recently, and
also the starters to go deeper into games to ease
the burden on that bullpen that now is minus Blake Trinin,
minus Michael Kopek, minus Evan Phillips, and minus Kirby Yates
as high leverage relievers, not to mention Bruce dar graderol
(18:10):
who is.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Not expected back until the second half.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
So it kind of reminds me tim of last year
around the All Star break where the Dodgers came out
of it and had to play guys like Havin Bigio
and Taylor Tremmel. That's the state of the Dodger bullpen
right now outside of Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia. So
the Dodger starters have to go deeper into games, so
(18:34):
the Dodgers don't have to lean on guys that.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Aren't high leverage relievers.
Speaker 12 (18:39):
And if you're looking for another solution in the minor leagues,
I've suggested Nick Frosso in the last few days. But
Frosso is not pitching as well as he was in
spring training, and the Dodgers are trying to correct that.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
David is driven by four. There's one thing we like.
It's choice is fine yours with the four F one
to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough. This mark can
only be called F one fifty. Freddie Freeman one of
the tough guys, playing through all the injuries that he
did last year in October and then started this season.
David and yeah, you look up and the guys is
hitting three seventy one.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
Yeah, and that's only behind Aaron Judge. And Freddie Freeman
has really been quietly one of, if not the two
best hitters in Major League Baseball this season. And he
told us, as you remember, Tim during the last road trip,
it takes him an hour and a half to get
ready to play a seven to ten game, or any
(19:34):
game at all. And he is just second in every
single offensive category, behind only Aaron Judge. And he continues
to go out there and perform, especially with Mookie Betts still.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Not hitting on all cylinders.
Speaker 12 (19:48):
Freddie has been so vital to the Dodgers offensive success, Dave.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
What happened earlier today, a great scene out of Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Tim, you don't say have a catch, right, you say
play catch?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Play catch right?
Speaker 12 (20:02):
Yeah, of course, And that's what was happening today. Some
number one, a significant playing catch, Blake trining for the
first time in over a month, picking up a baseball
and playing catch from about sixty feet. So that was
a step in the right direction, a small one, but
nonetheless a positive step in the right direction. And how
about this, Clayton Krushaw filling the urge to go out
(20:26):
there and push Blake Snell in his catch play. And
we all know Krushaw does everything with a purpose, and
I feel like he was trying to push Snell in
that department today to try to get him going, because
the Dodgers needs Snell to get going.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I mean, you go and you have a drink, You
don't go to have him catch, You go to play catch,
You play catch? Right right, that's right, okay, exactly, we're
on the same page. All right, that's great.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, DV.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
We'll check back you with you in just a little bit.

Speaker 12 (24:00):
Dgers are turning the page after being swept by the
Angels here at Dodgers Stadium for the first time since
twenty ten. Not an easy task against the team that
gives the Dodgers all they can handle.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Listen, it seems like for the Dodgers and Dbacks, the
lesser names. And I'm not disrespecting anybody, seems to get
the headlines.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Perdomo, but I know in company.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
Now you got Suarez, he got care But you gotta
be careful with those guys too. And you know, the
good thing about baseball is you have today take care
of yesterday. You can't do anything about it. Dodg You're
still playing good baseball here at home. But I want
to see some zeros.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I want to see at.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Least two zeros in each one of these games, in
the first two winnings, so the offense has a chance
to not have to look up and go here we
go again.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
How big is that?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Jose?
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Just even in the first inning, Jack Dryer is going
to open today. For him to hold the Diamondbacks scoreless
in that first inning, it's important because obviously Tory Levolo
is going to counteract him. He did by moving some
pieces around to the bottom of the odor, not thinking
the Jack Dryer is going to.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Get to it. But Jack Dryer can be very economical too.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
I think you go out there and ten pitches, twelve
pitches and maybe get Dave Roberts the option to go
a couple of innings. Here's a couple of things I
like about him. This guy at twenty six. Obviously he
knows how to pitch and hold a command, but he's
got the ability to go out there.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And he used the break up early.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
Incounts in the outer half to have guys then look
for that and it's like a slur right, let's steals
a strike away from right handers. But then he's got
the sweep out the you know, the slider sweeper, wipeout
pitch down.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The name by the right. He that really makes it
more neutralized.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
But he throws strikes, he fields his own, and he's
got a very good pace. I love the fact that
he does not allow guys to get very comfortable.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You know, w'ere.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I think back to the beginning of spring training.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
You saw Cospiraus and Dryer becoming guys that may make
this team. But did you ever envision them being as
big of a contributor as Jack, Dryer and bank Conspirace
have become.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
I'll be lying to you if I cited it, if
I said yes, I mean, it's almost like when guys
like that make the team, is like where do I
hide him? And where do I put him where it's
like no leverage or maybe against certain parts of the lineup,
or maybe with the score open, yes or no. But
these guys have proven that by necessity and by need
and desperation, the Dodgers have had to use him in
(26:11):
those spots.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And what better to find out early in their.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Careers, Dave and earlier in the year that these guys
are going to go out there and not be scared
by the moment?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Hose are you a.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
Little surprised to see Hayesan Kim and Tommy Edmund in
the same lineup? But Edmund playing second and Kim playing center.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
At this stage, No, because of the ankle situation with
Tommy Edmund, the collision yesterday we don't know what he
did to his ankle too, And obviously no, you have
to Oscar coming back, who's got the leg issue. We
don't know if he's you know, at ninety or one
hundred percent, whatever it is. You want to make sure
that somebody that can cover gap to gap a little
bit better with the speed at least is there next
(26:48):
to Oscar. And then for Tommy, it's a little less
to think about in terms of having to run more.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
In the outfield because of the ankle situation.
Speaker 12 (26:54):
We talked so much about this the first three weeks
of the season, how the Dodgers were not getting production
out of their seventy nine hitters. When you look at
the lineup tonight, you've got Confordo, Edmund and Kim. That
seems to be a pretty good bottom third of the
lineup to turn it over.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Yeah, let's just hope that we you know, about Comforido,
that the narrative does not continue to be boy, he
looks good to send the ball. Well, I want to
see some results. I want to see some dunkers. I
want to see just you know, a couple of bleeders
here and there that. But because everything else looks good,
the exit, velocity, the approach, and also Dave in certain situations,
I want comforda to want that spot, to not look
(27:30):
at the dugout to say if they're going to hit
for him, he needs to rust of the occasion and
thinking that he's a cleanup hitter.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
In his mine, I'm a cleanup hitter hitting the bottom.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
I want the big situation, but he needs to come
through a little bit better and be better prepared against
the guys that's going to be facing those situations.
Speaker 12 (27:43):
If he doesn't, Dave Roberts will be going to the
bench for him. Thanks Hose. We'll check back in with
you and Steven Nelson. For now, I'll send it back
to the studio and Tim Kates.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
All right, thanks a lot, DV. That's the Dodgers game plan.
What's your game plan, Dodger fans. I'm about to starting
your future at a California community college financial late It's
available if you want it to help you with tuition, books,
sometimes even the rent if you need it. It's time
to take that next big step. Classes can fill it quickly,
so in roll today at I can go to college
dot com. Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck
(28:12):
we'll get you a preview of this pitching matchup. Nelly
and Jose will be back with the keys to the game.
But up next, we go high and tight with Matt
Sour Yeah, stand out from Ricketty High School, Santa Maria,
got himself a save and a win already pitching for
the Dodgers here in twenty twenty five. That's next. Dodgers
and Diamondbacks first pitch at seven to ten. I'm Tim Kasis,
the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer as your opener see landon
ac can follow Brandon Fought. We'll go for the Snakes.
Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Zen. She handcrafted sush.

Find zench Sushi. You're the deli counter at Ralph's Zen
She handkrafted sushi, always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
a Dodger.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Player, It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
This this high end tight.
Speaker 12 (29:30):
We're in the Dodger clubhouse right now in the high
Rent District. Whenever you're next to Blake Trinin's locker you
know it's high Rent District.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
And we're joined right now.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
By the man Whiskey Sour Sweden Sour, Matt Sour.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Thanks a lot for the.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Time, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
So what is it like being the locker mates with
Blake Trenton?
Speaker 12 (29:48):
You know, he has a lot of rules he wants,
he wants a lot of structure.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
So what's it like.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's awesome, but Blake's man, obviously having to send it
right next to a vett is always good. And get
to pick his mind and see how he goes about
his day every day.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Don't be concerned. He's playing that little finger soccer game
over there.
Speaker 12 (30:07):
He can't hear what you're gonna say so full disclosure
here about Blake Trnon as a locker mate, because as
you could see, the gloves perfectly placed, the hats perfectly placed,
while yours same thing.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, I mean i'd say we got a pretty clean
corner over here. I'm not gonna bad mouth his side.
Neither of us cross the center line, so we're doing good.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Is there a delineation here?
Speaker 12 (30:30):
I mean, we all want to know the dynamics of
being this close to another teammate.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
What is the line here?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean, I think his line goes a little onto.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
My side, but he's.
Speaker 12 (30:42):
So you feel like he can encroach on your side
of the locker. But because of him being the decorated
reliever and veteran that he is, you know you have
to respect the wall.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So you're kind of hugging the wall.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
That's okay.
Speaker 12 (30:57):
Matt Sour is our guest. What a right it's been
for you since the beginning of spring training. Have you
been able to take inventory of where you started and
how much the Dodgers have relied upon you early on?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I mean obviously signed here because I thought the pitching
development was, you know, the top of the top and
you know, I think it's shown in the brief stint
that I've been up here so far, and I think
just within the last you know, three months of being
with this Horde, my pitching has gone to away new
heights and I really enjoy being here.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
You developed a cut fastball. Where did you start to
develop that cut fastball?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
It was actually Ryan Dennick down during spring training came
up with the idea because I already, I mean my
Forest team, I already cut a little bit, So he said,
why don't we just lean into you know, actually cutting it,
throwing a cutter with it. And the first day I
threw it in a bullpen, I was like, yeah, I
love this pitch and just took off from there. It
was a real easy pitch for me to learn and
just been riding it.
Speaker 12 (31:54):
A lot of right handers use that pitch to be
effective against lefties. Is that the thought behind yours?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Throughout my whole career, I've always been, you know, good
splits against righty's. I always had a little more issues
getting lefties out. So I think this cutter has opened
up where you know, I can get both sides of
the played out with.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
These Matt Sour is our guest.
Speaker 12 (32:13):
Can you tell us and explain the life of a
picture like Matt Sour where you're not Clayton Kershaw, You're
not Blake Snell.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
The Dodgers use your versatility. How do you adapt so?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, no, you know, I once I got called up,
I kind of understood that I'd be more of like
a Swiss army guy here, you know, might make some
spot starts, do some long relief appearances. But you know,
whatever opportunities they give to me, I love pitching into him.
I just want the ball, and whatever opportunity that is,
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 12 (32:43):
So you've this year been able to record your first
major league win and your first major league save.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Did you ever believe that would happen? Yeah, I mean
I hope so I always win, yes, but not the same.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
The save was a little surprising. It was honestly, immediately
after the game. I didn't even realize it. You know,
I came in and it was at the sixth inning.
Came in the sixth and get through and finish the
game out, and then they all congratulate after the game,
and I was like a little confused, like, wait, did
I really get the save there. But yeah, so it
was awesome.
Speaker 12 (33:12):
I remember being on the field with you and James Outman.
Were you concerned that he was gonna throw the ball
into the stands?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, I never was concerned, and I saw him catch
the ball and spin straight in and he put a
right in my glove as soon as he got to
the dugout, So it was all good.
Speaker 12 (33:25):
Hey, you can never put anything by Outman. The other day,
I had to remind him it was his birthday.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
That sounds about right, that's funny.
Speaker 12 (33:33):
Matt Sour is our guest just in front of first
pitch between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Pretty tough lineup over there, Matt.
What did you learn from that four game series in
the desert?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
No, I got to, you know, watch. It's kind of
cool the situation where I'm in because I'll watch the
starters and see how they can get through a lineup
more than one time, and then also getting to pick
the reliever's brains, where if I do go in for
you know, one or two innings, I gotta be able
to come in and throw my best stuff immediately and
get outs immediately. So I get to watch a little
(34:03):
more of both sides of the pitching aspect of it,
understanding that for when I come into games, I need
to be efficient, So watch the starters a little bit
what they're doing in the lineup where they're trying to
throw guys, and then you know, relievers, you might need
a big strikeout in this situation. So you know, talking
to Borrow Bart always gets us ready as soon as
we get into the game. You know, he always got
us right. So yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
That's interesting.
Speaker 12 (34:26):
I wonder if being a reliever coming out of the
bullpens certain games has helped you throw more strikes as
a starter because of what you said, it's so important
to throw strikes and be aggressive early.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I mean as a reliever always you're coming into the game,
you gotta get outs immediately, so you start with strike one,
and so far this year, I mean, I feel like
I've been pretty good at pounding the zone and once
once you get strike one, then you're in a picture
advantage count and then you can go from there.
Speaker 12 (34:54):
Hey, you never know, we might see Matt Soer tonight,
never know, never know. Thanks a lot for the time
we got. Wow this clean. Tryna never came to his locker.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
He did it.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
We're all good. We're safe over here.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Thanks Matt, Thank you.
Speaker 12 (35:06):
There he goes Matt Sour Lake Trinon's very clean and
tidy locker mate. He receives a pair of sunglasses from Canaan,
Canaan's world's best pull rized sunglasses. Canaan's lenses are clear,
lighter and stronger than other lenses, and are nearly impossible

we'll send it back to you all right.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Thanks a lot, Matt Sour, Thanks a lot. Say Dodgers
Baseball brought to you by Shaky's Vizza Parlor, the official
pizza partner, the Dodgers audio broadcast. When it's game night,
it's Grip Night at Shakys dot Com, leading you up
to first pitch Dodgers and Diamondbacks on Ben Scully Bobblehead Night,
First Pitch sevent ten.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I'm next.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. Don't go anywhere.
I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Thatwe This is Wrongo Cassino Dodgers Hunts on your home
for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
It's Ben Scully Bobblehead Night out of Dodgers Stadium for
the first forty thousand in attendance. Dodgers and Diamonbacks starting
a three game set. First pitch at seven to ten.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
And now before the Dodgers hit the dinack, we look
at the pitching.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Matchups for presented by your Southern California and Toyota Dealers.
Work hard, in play hard in a New Tacomo with
an I Force turbo charts engine. It's a truck built
for the Bulls. He youre Toyota dealer today. They make
it easy. Brandon fought on the mound for the Snake
six and three, three seventy three ERA, twenty six year
old right hander, fifth round picking twenty twenty out of
Bellarman University, third season the Big League's making his tenth
(36:37):
start this year last time out, four innings, four runs,
six hits in a loss of the Giants. Six start
against the Dodgers, third at Dodger Stadium. We'll toss the
season I six and a third scoreless innings. Just a
few weeks ago over in Arizona against the Blue in
his last three starts against the Dodgers. How about this.
He is three and zero with a two fifty ERA
and twenty three strikeouts and is not giving up a
(36:59):
home run in those three starts against the Dodgers. Pretty impressive.
The last time three times out Jack Dryer. He is
the opener for the Dodgers. We will see Landon Nac
come in, but Jack Dryer will be the opener two
in one with a two to twenty five ERA. Twenty
six year old left hander, undrafted free agent signed by
the Dodgers in twenty twenty one. He pitched at the
(37:20):
University of Iowa, making his third start, nineteenth appearance, last
time out two relief innings on Friday against the Angels.
He did see the Diamondbacks twice in that foury game
series over in Phoenix a couple weeks ago, three shutout
innings in the first game, then two thirds of an
inning with two strikeouts in that second appearance against the
Arizona Diamondbacks. Again it'll be Landon Knack who comes in
(37:42):
and gets a bulk of the innings after Jack Dryer,
the left handed reliever, will get the start. Landon Nax
set to make his six appearance tonight after losing Tuesday
Nights to the Athletics, where he went four and two
third innings, gave up five runs on seven hits, and
struck out eight. This is his second season in the
big league, so it'll be Jack Dryer followed by Land
(38:03):
and Knack as the Dodgers look to get back on track.
Tonight's after losing three straight to the Angels, Dodgers now
look to take it out of the Snakes. We're fifteen
minutes away for first pitch. Keys to the game are
next some Tim Kas's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
On tack.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
On your Home for the Blue All Season Log.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
It's Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer's your opener, followed
by Land and Knack. Brandon Fox will go for the Snakes.
The Dodgers in the stretch their next twenty nine games
against teams over five hundred the Diamonbacks, the Mets, the Guardians,
the Yankees, the Cardinals, the Padres of the Giants. So
a tough month coming up ahead for the Dodgers, fresh
off losing three straight to the Anaheim Angels, looking to
(38:51):
get back on track tonight. When the boys are in
blue play at home, it's important that they have the
right plan to protect their house. The same applies to
your home. Always have a planned to follow fire safety tips.
For example, user install ignition resistant materials around your home.
You fire resistant materials when building a deck, replace events
with ember and flame resistant events. Use noncombustible fencing materials
for the portion that connects to your house. Very important
(39:13):
you listen and for more tips like these and to
find out others, visit fire dot CA, dot God. Let's
head back out to the booth one final time before
first pitch, Steven Nelson and Jose Mota, Guys, time.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
For the Dodgers to wash away the stink of this
past weekend sweep at the hands of the visiting Angels.
To see the Diamondbacks little home and home on the
schedule here they split four games at Chase Field, Jose
Mota some really interesting ballgames, so some wild ones, some
fun finishes as well, And so now the Dodger's going
to try and get back on track. But prior to
these last three losses of the Angels, they've been darned
(39:46):
near unbeatable. Here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 9 (39:48):
They have done a good job. The Angels come in
and pretty much, let's call it just an aberration what
happened against the Angels. They were pretty much on every cylinder,
just striking quite hard. Now the Dbacks coming in, and
I talked to a couple of guys of the dbucks
coming into the series no matter when it is, but
it's the Dodgers and they know how to elevate their game.
The other thing, too, is let's start up all the
things that happened over in Arizona. The slugging from the
(40:08):
Dbacks was the one thing that dominated. Obviously, they had
a very good couple of starting pitchers do their jobs.
As you mentioned, falls and burns. But I think it's
gonna come down to just focusing on one part of
the line, especially to me, the bottom third. You have
to stop those guys, especially gout like Perdomo, because he
can cause a lot of damage, get on base steal basis,
and also from the number nine spot drive in some runs.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Yeah, keep in mind the number nine hitter this series
or although Perdomo that's where he's starting tonight. Anyway, he's
been one of the best players in the National League.
So he's not your stereotypical number nine hitter really like, oh,
that's an automatic out. Perdomo is definitely having a great year.
Give me a couple of keys tonight for the Dodgers
with Jack Dryer opening against Brandon Fott.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Number one thing is get a couple of zeros early
in the game. Offense jump ahead when the Dodgers scored first.
No secret to anybody, Even losing teams have winning records
when they score first. But I think it's going to
come down to just not depending only on the home run.
And you got a challenge, Gabriel Moreno, that's a little
key for me. Go Arthur and run on him, but
make sure you're also, you know, quiet him down with
(41:09):
the bat.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Hopefully Jack Dryer and Landon Knack can combine to provide
some stability for this pitching staff, which enters this series
having given up six plus runs in three straight games
and four of six games on this home stand. Three
games against the d Backs. The Dodgers and Arizona will
kick things off, shorty, Tim, Let's get it back to you, all.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Right, Thanks a lot, Nelly. When the game is over,
David Vassis got you cover but first things first, first pitches, Next,

Welcome to Dodgers on Tech. Now your host walking you
up to first pitch. Tim kas Hi.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Everybody, Welcome to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, your official
Dodger pregame show. You're world champion. Los Angeles Dodgers twenty
nine and eighteen on this season, hanging on to first
place a top the NL West after taking two or
three from the Athletics to start the homestead. The Dodgers,
fresh off getting swept by the Anaheim Angels and now
(01:05):
the homestand continues, was the first of three against the
Arizona Diamondbacks. As the Dodgers will go with Jack Dryer
for the opener, Land and Neck. We'll get a bullk
of the Indians. First pitch on this Monday night from
Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven to ten on
Ven's Gully Bobblehead Night out at Dodgers Stadium coming up
over the next hour here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck,
(01:26):
You're gonna get the very latest from our Dodger insider
David Vase. He'll go one on one with Dodger reliever
Matt Sower, Righetti High School's own who's got himself a
win and himself save already on the season for the Dodgers.
We're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts, will dive
deeper into this pitching matchup. We got your Dodgers magical moment.
Kirsten Watson from sports Net LA stops by and at
(01:47):
just a few minutes we hend out to the Gallpin
Motors broadcast booth with Steven Nelson and Jose Motol. Yesterday
at the Ravine, Tony Gonsolin had a couple of catman
lives at it, and it started in the first when
he gave up a solo home run to the very
first batter, Zach netto a home run to Love center field,
(02:07):
and just like that, the Angels were up one to nothing.
And then the blood started flowing for the catman, who
went to his second life in the game as the
blister or cut cuticle, whatever it is on the thumb
healed up, not before a bunch of blood on the
side of his pants. But three batters later, Taylor Ward
went deep. Just like that first half inning of the game,
the Angels were on top of the Dodgers three to nothing.
(02:28):
Travis Darnaut added an RBI single in the third, and
the Dodgers were down four to nothing. You say Kukuchi
was rolling for the first four plus sittings until the
bottom of the fifth was showy Otani delivered with an
RBI single that got the Dodgers on the board up
four to one. In the seventh, Will Smith would tie it.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Will Smith can tie the game with one swing. This
ball is hitting the air to left fielding deep.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
This ball is good.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Just like that, we are tied.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Hey laser the left from Will Smith. A three run
shot evens a scoreboard at four a piece.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Will Smith deliverers with the three run home run and
that is the top tier play of the game, brought
to you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for last
than Dodgers come all the way back and tie things
up in the seventh inning. Angels Dodgers tied at four.
That though quickly change in the top half of the
eighth inning, Travis Darnault, oh.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
No bona frustrated after that call, soon on the three
to one and Darnault hits it a mile in the
air to left field. This ball breaks the tie halfway
up the pavilion in the section to the right of
the Dodger bullpen, and the tie didn't last very long.
Travis Darnault's first of the year makes it five four Angels, Bankwood's.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Own Travis dar and a couple of rveis yesterday. That
one hurts a solo home run to the left and
that gave the Angels at five to four lee the
Dodgers couldn't recover. The Angels will attack on another at
the top of the ninth and they go on and
beat the Dodgers six to four. What really stings is
the Dodgers got swept in all three games of this
Freeway series, first time the Angels have swept the Dodgers
(04:24):
since two ten yikes fifteen years ago. Now the Dodgers
got to get back at it tonight to Oscar Hernandez's back.
Dodgers are back, new looking lineup and a new team
in town with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer gets the
start first pitch to seven to ten on this Vin
Scully Bobblehead night, and with more we head out to
the Galpamotors broadcast booth as we welcome in Stephen Nelson
(04:44):
in Jose Modeguys.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Thanks Tim, Well, the sun came up on this Monday.
Despite the tough weekend for the Dodgers getting swept at
home by the Angels, it has not been the greatest
start to this homestand and part of another downward stretch.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Jose.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
It's been a streaky season for the Dodgers and right
now they're in a little bit of a swoon.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
How do they get out of it? Oh, they get
out of the way.
Speaker 9 (05:06):
They have done it all throughout the season by finding
what the next game is gonna bring. And I think
the Dodgers have done a very good job just putting
that last page over keep peeling those layers of the
paint and see what's new. But I think what I
look forward to this series is that first inning to
be a shutdown inning and more chances where the offense.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Do not have to play from behind right from the
get go.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
It's an excellent point because in all three games against
the Angels, the Halos put up runs in the first inning.
They also scored runs in the ninth inning of all
three of those games, and the pitching staff as a
whole has been giving up more and more runs. It
seems like the bullpen workload is finally catching up with
this team and this staff.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So you think about workload, right, you think about.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Fatigue, location, there's a playerful of the things that affects that,
including repetitions by the other teams, assist a little bit
more of you, right, So they see you a little
bit more, They see where your patterns are, they know
where you like to stay in certain areas and in
certain situations of the game, and then you become a
little more predictable. So the less they see those guys
in the bullpen way better for many reasons, including all
(06:11):
those ones that I just pointed out.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
So now it's what's unfortunate is is the timing of
this because the Dodger pitchers, yet again, they're not lining
up and scheduling their injuries properly. Say they need to
space these out a little bit more. But this is
entering really the toughest stretch of the year. I would
say these next four weeks, there won't be another four
week chunk as difficult as this one will be for
the Dodge.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's a challenge, and you got to go out there
and face it up.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
You still were gonna have with a perfect healthy team,
no matter what, you were gonna have to play good baseball.
You're still gonna have that target on your back. And
the moment is nobody feels sorry for you for the injuries.
And last season the Dodgers had more people spending days
in the aisle than anybody else and it was not
an issue whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Now and it's concerning.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Let's be realistic, because you just don't know how guys
are going to react to all these challenges. Who's gonna
be exposed a little bit more. The pitching obviously becomes
number one issue right now, but hopefully we'll see is
how about the starting pitchers make a turnaround here when
they really needs it.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
It'll be Jack Dryer opening tonight in front of Landon Knack,
who's expected to take down the bulk of the innings
against Brandon Fott, the diamondback right hand or who really
he gave up some loud contact against the Dodgers at
Chase Field last week, but ultimately he didn't break. He bended,
he bent, but he did not break. But to that
point that we're talking about, tim, as we get it
(07:29):
back to you, the Dodgers really just one game above
five hundred this year when playing teams with the winning record.
In the next twenty nine games as we sit here
right now are against winning teams. So the Dodgers are
hoping that one they can get healthy. Certainly they are
from an offensive standpoint. Time we having back to Oscar
Hernandez returns tonight. Now the pitching hopefully that follows here soon.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Yeah, let's hope there. Nelly appreciates we got you down
to first pitch. Dodger fans, get that game day meal
on It's shake He's pizza parlor. What you waiting for?

Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Now, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your
home for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
It's a Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Is the home stank intinues
on this Vin Scully Bobblehead Night for the first forty
thousand in attendance. Jack Dryer is your opener. Brandon Fought,
who the Dodgers saw just a couple of weeks ago.
We'll go for the snakes first pitch at seventeen.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
This is the Yotani.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Re why here's another two to two pitch. Otani, he
flares it over the head of the third basement Moncatta
and in between Moncata and Taylor.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Award in left.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
That's a two out base hit, show hey is award
With two down, four to nothing, Halos payoff pitch coming,
Otani pulls it the right field for a base hit.
Kick Key Hernandez runs.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Through a stop sign to play at the play not
in time, show, Hey, Oldtani, here's the Dodgers on the
board with an RBI base hit.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's now four to one. Shoe hey.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Otani had three of the Dodgers five hits yesterday, including
that RBI single in the fifth inning. Otani three for
five the RBI a strikeout, now hitting three thirteen on
this season, slugging at six sixty five. Unfortunately, the Dodgers
fell to the Angels yesterday sixty four.

Call eat seven seven Cars for Kids right now. Friendly
agents are standing by to take your donation. That's Cars
with the k Donate your Car. Today, the Dodgers back
at it New Day News series, and the lineup looks
really good with a lot of guys back.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Yeah, with both Tommy Edmund as well as ta Oskar Hernandez,
you're finally just getting back to.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
A full strength lineup.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Before Tioscar went onto the IL, I mean, he was
the team r WEI leader and so for him now
to be back into a position that's been a big thing.
It's just making sure we're getting guys home to put
more runs on the board. So of course, with both
of these guys coming off of lower body injuries, so
for Tommy the ankle, for Tioskar has groin, that does
mean that they can't just immediately go back to being
(10:46):
everyday players right now. Of course Dave Roberts wants to
do that, but he did say today that you know,
his gut reaction is to, you know, make sure that
they're playing for the long game, not the short game
right now. So they likely won't play in all three
of just this series with the Diamondbacks. But on the
flip side, that's kind of exciting because that means that
there's gonna be different opportunities for someone like Kisan Kim
(11:08):
to kind of find ways to get out there, and
even for someone like Andty pot Has, even though he's
more of an everyday player, just to course down today,
not to line up out there tonight.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
The Dodger's gonna see Brandon Fought, who they saw just
a few weeks ago over in Arizona. Last time they
saw him. Six and a third shutout innis.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
Yeah, but you know what, if you really like kind
of go into that game and break down a few things.
They had the roof open in Arizona. The ball plays
a little bit differently when that's the case, and there were,
honestly quite if there were won a lot of hard
hit balls, but they turned into being out, but those
would have been home runs and other ballparks, including of.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Course Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
So the fact that they were able to get some
hard contact, it'll be really interesting to see just how
that plays now here at Dodger Stadium. Obviously he I
mean he had taken away from him. Yes, there were
hard hit balls, but they were obviously out and he
pitched very well, as you mentioned, getting into the seventh.
But hopefully today they can kind of take what they
learn from that outing, continue to get some contact and
(12:06):
find ways to just put that string them together and
turn them into runs, because that's gonna have to be
the key. And hopefully they can do that early set
the tone in this one, and hopefully they're not playing
from behind, because that has unfortunately been a theme as
of late for this group.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Another thing for this Dodger's team, Dodger pitching not getting
ahead in account.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
Yeah, exactly, and so that has got to be the focus.
Dave Roberts was diving into today, and it's something that
this has been such a key attribute of the Dodgers
when it comes to their pitching. You know, they're efficient,
they get ahead on the count and that's what makes
them so effective. But right now they're kind of getting
away from that. We're seeing long at bats, we're seeing
the pitch count get up, we're seeing more walks than usual,
and so they need to find ways and Dave was
(12:46):
emphasizing it's just if you can get that first pitch
strike and kind of control the count and then be
ahead in the count and not get behind in the count,
that's got to be the key. So hopefully, whether it's
Jack Dryer who's going to serve as the opener today.
Hopefully he can do just that. Then Landon Neck is
expected still to take down the bulk of this game.
That's gonna have to be a key for him, because
(13:07):
if you look at his last two outings, I mean, look, Miami,
he was excellent. Last one against the A's not as much,
and so if he can do that today, hopefully he
can have a quality outing, especially against a team that
we know is going to be aggressive. So he's got
to have to find ways to get that first pitch strike.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
That Dodgers need him to do that tonight, no doubt, Kirston,
we appreciate it. Still to come here on Marongo Casino
Dodgers on deck, will die deep into this pitching matchup.
David Batstate goes one on one with Matt sour. We'll
get you an injury or fourth though, will we come
back in well? Here from the manager himself, Dave Roberts
leaking you up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks on Vince Gully
Bobblehead Night out at Dodger Stadium. I'm Tim Kas's the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Marango Casino Dodgers on Deck continue is on this Monday
night as we lead you up to Dodgers in Diamondbacks
Moronco Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam for a
good times. Jack Dryer and Brandon fought the bitching matchup
in the series opener. First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Good news is hey Oscar Hernandez off the injured list.
He is back and in the lineup for the Dodgers.
Kirby Yates on the I L at the right hamstring strain,
Evan Phillips on the IL to sort right forearm, Tyler
Glass now Blake Snell, both with shoulder inflammation. Blake trying
it on the sixty day IL. Michael Kopex also on
(14:39):
the sixty day IL and Michael Kopek is going to
be at Oklahoma City tomorrow on a rehab assignment with
Triple A Oklahoma City and expected to make two three
more appearances before they'll make a decision on whether or
not to activate him off the I l in fact,
let's heat back out to Dodgers Stadium. In here for
more from the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
One questions for Dave David you just described du Can
you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
In the dugouts with Dave Robberts.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
You know, I just think that you know, Foughts throwing
the baseball well against this good young pitcher, and I
just think that offensively, I think we're doing a lot
of good things. And so I like the lineup of
running out there. I like giving Andy a day off
kind of pushed him a lot. But I like we're
at so I think that you know, he's gonna make pitch,
(15:27):
he's gonna compete, he's gonna spin it, he's got you know,
mid nineties fastball. But I just think we've got We're
gonna go out there and have a good approach. And
you know, for me opening up with Dryer, I think
it just gives land In a little bit more chance
to take down more hitters, and you know, and then
we'll see kind of where we land. You know, after
(15:48):
he's out of the game, do you see a.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Bad time getting slip up or a kid seem like
a Borno has kind of work way out to pull
a multiple well.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
I think Andy is an everyday player, and I think
that I've shown that he's earned it with a sporadic
off day. I think that with Kim getting Tommy uh
some days once in a while, I think getting Tail
a day here or there once he to get his
feet back on, legs back under him. I think we'll
(16:19):
give Michael a day here in the next two so
then I think that'll be a way to kind of
keep you know, Kim involved, So you know, I say,
you know, I would probably say three and a half
times a week getting him in there to start, and
also he's gonna come into games too.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about how he's going
to moon over the chess pieces around the chess board
with the lineups every day on this Dodgers team. Interesting
to hear how they're going to approach what's coming up
on the schedule. We continue here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers
on deck. We'll find out more from the Dodger insider
David Mats for leading you up to first pitch on
Vin Scully Bobblehead Night, Dodgers First pitch set for seven
(17:01):
to ten. I'm Tim Kates' is the world champion Los
Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Homestand continues with the Dodgers and Diamondbacks at the start
of a three game series. Jack Dryer and Brandon font
the pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at seven.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Ten, Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
This is Dodger insider David Base all right, DV.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
A lot of talk about the rotation the pitching staff.
This Dodgers bullpen feels like it's getting thinner and thinner.
What are their options?
Speaker 12 (17:47):
Yeah, it's The options are for the offense to pick
up the pitching staff like they have been recently, and
also the starters to go deeper into games to ease
the burden on that bullpen that now is minus Blake Trinin,
minus Michael Kopek, minus Evan Phillips, and minus Kirby Yates
as high leverage relievers, not to mention Bruce dar graderol
(18:10):
who is.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Not expected back until the second half.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
So it kind of reminds me tim of last year
around the All Star break where the Dodgers came out
of it and had to play guys like Havin Bigio
and Taylor Tremmel. That's the state of the Dodger bullpen
right now outside of Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia. So
the Dodger starters have to go deeper into games, so
(18:34):
the Dodgers don't have to lean on guys that.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Aren't high leverage relievers.
Speaker 12 (18:39):
And if you're looking for another solution in the minor leagues,
I've suggested Nick Frosso in the last few days. But
Frosso is not pitching as well as he was in
spring training, and the Dodgers are trying to correct that.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
David is driven by four. There's one thing we like.
It's choice is fine yours with the four F one
to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough. This mark can
only be called F one fifty. Freddie Freeman one of
the tough guys, playing through all the injuries that he
did last year in October and then started this season.
David and yeah, you look up and the guys is
hitting three seventy one.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
Yeah, and that's only behind Aaron Judge. And Freddie Freeman
has really been quietly one of, if not the two
best hitters in Major League Baseball this season. And he
told us, as you remember, Tim during the last road trip,
it takes him an hour and a half to get
ready to play a seven to ten game, or any
(19:34):
game at all. And he is just second in every
single offensive category, behind only Aaron Judge. And he continues
to go out there and perform, especially with Mookie Betts still.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Not hitting on all cylinders.
Speaker 12 (19:48):
Freddie has been so vital to the Dodgers offensive success, Dave.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
What happened earlier today, a great scene out of Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Tim, you don't say have a catch, right, you say
play catch?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Play catch right?
Speaker 12 (20:02):
Yeah, of course, And that's what was happening today. Some
number one, a significant playing catch, Blake trining for the
first time in over a month, picking up a baseball
and playing catch from about sixty feet. So that was
a step in the right direction, a small one, but
nonetheless a positive step in the right direction. And how
about this, Clayton Krushaw filling the urge to go out
(20:26):
there and push Blake Snell in his catch play. And
we all know Krushaw does everything with a purpose, and
I feel like he was trying to push Snell in
that department today to try to get him going, because
the Dodgers needs Snell to get going.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I mean, you go and you have a drink, You
don't go to have him catch, You go to play catch,
You play catch? Right right, that's right, okay, exactly, we're
on the same page. All right, that's great.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, DV.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
We'll check back you with you in just a little bit.
Coming up here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on dag DEVI

pitching matchup. We'll hear from hose Mona. But I'm next

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Well, the Dodgers taking on the Diamondbacks. We go back
to twenty seventeen, the n LDS Dodgers taking on the
Diamondbacks in that NLDS a chance to go to the
NLCS in a matchup against the Chicago Cubs. Dodgers won
the first two games. In Game three, could they make
it a sweep?
Speaker 13 (22:13):
Now here's Jansen three and two to Goldspit. Here's the
pitch plug on and miss strike three. And the Dodgers,
who won one hundred and four games this year more
than anybody else, sweep the Arizona Diamondbacks, winning tonight three
to one. Next stop back home Saturday night for the
(22:34):
National League Championship Series. And now they are mobbing Kenley Janssen.
Everybody coming out of the dugout, Everybody coming out of
the bullpen. The Dodgers are going home and they are
entertaining the NLCS against either the Cubs or the Nationals.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
It would via the Chicago Cubs and the Dodgers would
beat the Cubbies to advance to the World Series, where
they were cheated out of a World Series by the
Houston Astros, who cheated during that postseason. This Hofey Magical
moment brought to you by Hofey hot Dogs, Hoffey so
Cow's local treasure for nearly one hundred years. Hoffy hot Dogs,
Local and so great. When we continue here on Dodgers
(23:16):
on Deck, we'll check back in with Jose Mota, were
lead you out to first pitch on this Monday night,
beautiful night here in Southern California. Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Tim
Kass World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Networks.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your home.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
For the Blue All Season Low.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
It's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks started a three game set.
Dodgers fresh off getting swept by the Anaheim Angels. Jack Dryer,
you opener Brandon fought with the Dodgers. Dodgers a few
weeks ago in Arizona. He'll get the start for the Snakes,
first pitch coming up at seven to ten. We had
back out to the ravine, though, Jose Mota, David Basse, guys, all.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Right, Jose.
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Dgers are turning the page after being swept by the
Angels here at Dodgers Stadium for the first time since
twenty ten. Not an easy task against the team that
gives the Dodgers all they can handle.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Listen, it seems like for the Dodgers and Dbacks, the
lesser names. And I'm not disrespecting anybody, seems to get
the headlines.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Perdomo, but I know in company.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
Now you got Suarez, he got care But you gotta
be careful with those guys too. And you know, the
good thing about baseball is you have today take care
of yesterday. You can't do anything about it. Dodg You're
still playing good baseball here at home. But I want
to see some zeros.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I want to see at.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Least two zeros in each one of these games, in
the first two winnings, so the offense has a chance
to not have to look up and go here we
go again.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
How big is that?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Jose?
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Just even in the first inning, Jack Dryer is going
to open today. For him to hold the Diamondbacks scoreless
in that first inning, it's important because obviously Tory Levolo
is going to counteract him. He did by moving some
pieces around to the bottom of the odor, not thinking
the Jack Dryer is going to.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Get to it. But Jack Dryer can be very economical too.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
I think you go out there and ten pitches, twelve
pitches and maybe get Dave Roberts the option to go
a couple of innings. Here's a couple of things I
like about him. This guy at twenty six. Obviously he
knows how to pitch and hold a command, but he's
got the ability to go out there.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And he used the break up early.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
Incounts in the outer half to have guys then look
for that and it's like a slur right, let's steals
a strike away from right handers. But then he's got
the sweep out the you know, the slider sweeper, wipeout
pitch down.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The name by the right. He that really makes it
more neutralized.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
But he throws strikes, he fields his own, and he's
got a very good pace. I love the fact that
he does not allow guys to get very comfortable.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You know, w'ere.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I think back to the beginning of spring training.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
You saw Cospiraus and Dryer becoming guys that may make
this team. But did you ever envision them being as
big of a contributor as Jack, Dryer and bank Conspirace
have become.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
I'll be lying to you if I cited it, if
I said yes, I mean, it's almost like when guys
like that make the team, is like where do I
hide him? And where do I put him where it's
like no leverage or maybe against certain parts of the lineup,
or maybe with the score open, yes or no. But
these guys have proven that by necessity and by need
and desperation, the Dodgers have had to use him in
(26:11):
those spots.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And what better to find out early in their.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Careers, Dave and earlier in the year that these guys
are going to go out there and not be scared
by the moment?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Hose are you a.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
Little surprised to see Hayesan Kim and Tommy Edmund in
the same lineup? But Edmund playing second and Kim playing center.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
At this stage, No, because of the ankle situation with
Tommy Edmund, the collision yesterday we don't know what he
did to his ankle too, And obviously no, you have
to Oscar coming back, who's got the leg issue. We
don't know if he's you know, at ninety or one
hundred percent, whatever it is. You want to make sure
that somebody that can cover gap to gap a little
bit better with the speed at least is there next
(26:48):
to Oscar. And then for Tommy, it's a little less
to think about in terms of having to run more.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
In the outfield because of the ankle situation.
Speaker 12 (26:54):
We talked so much about this the first three weeks
of the season, how the Dodgers were not getting production
out of their seventy nine hitters. When you look at
the lineup tonight, you've got Confordo, Edmund and Kim. That
seems to be a pretty good bottom third of the
lineup to turn it over.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Yeah, let's just hope that we you know, about Comforido,
that the narrative does not continue to be boy, he
looks good to send the ball. Well, I want to
see some results. I want to see some dunkers. I
want to see just you know, a couple of bleeders
here and there that. But because everything else looks good,
the exit, velocity, the approach, and also Dave in certain situations,
I want comforda to want that spot, to not look
(27:30):
at the dugout to say if they're going to hit
for him, he needs to rust of the occasion and
thinking that he's a cleanup hitter.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
In his mine, I'm a cleanup hitter hitting the bottom.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
I want the big situation, but he needs to come
through a little bit better and be better prepared against
the guys that's going to be facing those situations.
Speaker 12 (27:43):
If he doesn't, Dave Roberts will be going to the
bench for him. Thanks Hose. We'll check back in with
you and Steven Nelson. For now, I'll send it back
to the studio and Tim Kates.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
All right, thanks a lot, DV. That's the Dodgers game plan.
What's your game plan, Dodger fans. I'm about to starting
your future at a California community college financial late It's
available if you want it to help you with tuition, books,
sometimes even the rent if you need it. It's time
to take that next big step. Classes can fill it quickly,
so in roll today at I can go to college
dot com. Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck
(28:12):
we'll get you a preview of this pitching matchup. Nelly
and Jose will be back with the keys to the game.
But up next, we go high and tight with Matt

got himself a save and a win already pitching for
the Dodgers here in twenty twenty five. That's next. Dodgers
and Diamondbacks first pitch at seven to ten. I'm Tim Kasis,
the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on

Speaker 5 (28:44):
Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer as your opener see landon

She handkrafted sushi, always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
a Dodger.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Player, It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
This this high end tight.
Speaker 12 (29:30):
We're in the Dodger clubhouse right now in the high
Rent District. Whenever you're next to Blake Trinin's locker you
know it's high Rent District.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
And we're joined right now.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
By the man Whiskey Sour Sweden Sour, Matt Sour.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Thanks a lot for the.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Time, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
So what is it like being the locker mates with
Blake Trenton?
Speaker 12 (29:48):
You know, he has a lot of rules he wants,
he wants a lot of structure.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
So what's it like.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's awesome, but Blake's man, obviously having to send it
right next to a vett is always good. And get
to pick his mind and see how he goes about
his day every day.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Don't be concerned. He's playing that little finger soccer game
over there.
Speaker 12 (30:07):
He can't hear what you're gonna say so full disclosure
here about Blake Trnon as a locker mate, because as
you could see, the gloves perfectly placed, the hats perfectly placed,
while yours same thing.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, I mean i'd say we got a pretty clean
corner over here. I'm not gonna bad mouth his side.
Neither of us cross the center line, so we're doing good.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Is there a delineation here?
Speaker 12 (30:30):
I mean, we all want to know the dynamics of
being this close to another teammate.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
What is the line here?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean, I think his line goes a little onto.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
My side, but he's.
Speaker 12 (30:42):
So you feel like he can encroach on your side
of the locker. But because of him being the decorated
reliever and veteran that he is, you know you have
to respect the wall.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So you're kind of hugging the wall.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
That's okay.
Speaker 12 (30:57):
Matt Sour is our guest. What a right it's been
for you since the beginning of spring training. Have you
been able to take inventory of where you started and
how much the Dodgers have relied upon you early on?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I mean obviously signed here because I thought the pitching
development was, you know, the top of the top and
you know, I think it's shown in the brief stint
that I've been up here so far, and I think
just within the last you know, three months of being
with this Horde, my pitching has gone to away new
heights and I really enjoy being here.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
You developed a cut fastball. Where did you start to
develop that cut fastball?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
It was actually Ryan Dennick down during spring training came
up with the idea because I already, I mean my
Forest team, I already cut a little bit, So he said,
why don't we just lean into you know, actually cutting it,
throwing a cutter with it. And the first day I
threw it in a bullpen, I was like, yeah, I
love this pitch and just took off from there. It
was a real easy pitch for me to learn and
just been riding it.
Speaker 12 (31:54):
A lot of right handers use that pitch to be
effective against lefties. Is that the thought behind yours?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Throughout my whole career, I've always been, you know, good
splits against righty's. I always had a little more issues
getting lefties out. So I think this cutter has opened
up where you know, I can get both sides of
the played out with.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
These Matt Sour is our guest.
Speaker 12 (32:13):
Can you tell us and explain the life of a
picture like Matt Sour where you're not Clayton Kershaw, You're
not Blake Snell.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
The Dodgers use your versatility. How do you adapt so?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, no, you know, I once I got called up,
I kind of understood that I'd be more of like
a Swiss army guy here, you know, might make some
spot starts, do some long relief appearances. But you know,
whatever opportunities they give to me, I love pitching into him.
I just want the ball, and whatever opportunity that is,
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 12 (32:43):
So you've this year been able to record your first
major league win and your first major league save.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Did you ever believe that would happen? Yeah, I mean
I hope so I always win, yes, but not the same.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
The save was a little surprising. It was honestly, immediately
after the game. I didn't even realize it. You know,
I came in and it was at the sixth inning.
Came in the sixth and get through and finish the
game out, and then they all congratulate after the game,
and I was like a little confused, like, wait, did
I really get the save there. But yeah, so it
was awesome.
Speaker 12 (33:12):
I remember being on the field with you and James Outman.
Were you concerned that he was gonna throw the ball
into the stands?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, I never was concerned, and I saw him catch
the ball and spin straight in and he put a
right in my glove as soon as he got to
the dugout, So it was all good.
Speaker 12 (33:25):
Hey, you can never put anything by Outman. The other day,
I had to remind him it was his birthday.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
That sounds about right, that's funny.
Speaker 12 (33:33):
Matt Sour is our guest just in front of first
pitch between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Pretty tough lineup over there, Matt.
What did you learn from that four game series in
the desert?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
No, I got to, you know, watch. It's kind of
cool the situation where I'm in because I'll watch the
starters and see how they can get through a lineup
more than one time, and then also getting to pick
the reliever's brains, where if I do go in for
you know, one or two innings, I gotta be able
to come in and throw my best stuff immediately and
get outs immediately. So I get to watch a little
(34:03):
more of both sides of the pitching aspect of it,
understanding that for when I come into games, I need
to be efficient, So watch the starters a little bit
what they're doing in the lineup where they're trying to
throw guys, and then you know, relievers, you might need
a big strikeout in this situation. So you know, talking
to Borrow Bart always gets us ready as soon as
we get into the game. You know, he always got
us right. So yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
That's interesting.
Speaker 12 (34:26):
I wonder if being a reliever coming out of the
bullpens certain games has helped you throw more strikes as
a starter because of what you said, it's so important
to throw strikes and be aggressive early.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I mean as a reliever always you're coming into the game,
you gotta get outs immediately, so you start with strike one,
and so far this year, I mean, I feel like
I've been pretty good at pounding the zone and once
once you get strike one, then you're in a picture
advantage count and then you can go from there.
Speaker 12 (34:54):
Hey, you never know, we might see Matt Soer tonight,
never know, never know. Thanks a lot for the time
we got. Wow this clean. Tryna never came to his locker.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
He did it.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
We're all good. We're safe over here.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Thanks Matt, Thank you.

it's Grip Night at Shakys dot Com, leading you up
to first pitch Dodgers and Diamondbacks on Ben Scully Bobblehead Night,
First Pitch sevent ten.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I'm next.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. Don't go anywhere.
I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Thatwe This is Wrongo Cassino Dodgers Hunts on your home
for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
It's Ben Scully Bobblehead Night out of Dodgers Stadium for
the first forty thousand in attendance. Dodgers and Diamonbacks starting
a three game set. First pitch at seven to ten.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
And now before the Dodgers hit the dinack, we look
at the pitching.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Matchups for presented by your Southern California and Toyota Dealers.
Work hard, in play hard in a New Tacomo with
an I Force turbo charts engine. It's a truck built
for the Bulls. He youre Toyota dealer today. They make
it easy. Brandon fought on the mound for the Snake
six and three, three seventy three ERA, twenty six year
old right hander, fifth round picking twenty twenty out of
Bellarman University, third season the Big League's making his tenth
(36:37):
start this year last time out, four innings, four runs,
six hits in a loss of the Giants. Six start
against the Dodgers, third at Dodger Stadium. We'll toss the
season I six and a third scoreless innings. Just a
few weeks ago over in Arizona against the Blue in
his last three starts against the Dodgers. How about this.
He is three and zero with a two fifty ERA
and twenty three strikeouts and is not giving up a
(36:59):
home run in those three starts against the Dodgers. Pretty impressive.
The last time three times out Jack Dryer. He is
the opener for the Dodgers. We will see Landon Nac
come in, but Jack Dryer will be the opener two
in one with a two to twenty five ERA. Twenty
six year old left hander, undrafted free agent signed by
the Dodgers in twenty twenty one. He pitched at the
(37:20):
University of Iowa, making his third start, nineteenth appearance, last
time out two relief innings on Friday against the Angels.
He did see the Diamondbacks twice in that foury game
series over in Phoenix a couple weeks ago, three shutout
innings in the first game, then two thirds of an
inning with two strikeouts in that second appearance against the
Arizona Diamondbacks. Again it'll be Landon Knack who comes in
(37:42):
and gets a bulk of the innings after Jack Dryer,
the left handed reliever, will get the start. Landon Nax
set to make his six appearance tonight after losing Tuesday
Nights to the Athletics, where he went four and two
third innings, gave up five runs on seven hits, and
struck out eight. This is his second season in the
big league, so it'll be Jack Dryer followed by Land
(38:03):
and Knack as the Dodgers look to get back on track.
Tonight's after losing three straight to the Angels, Dodgers now
look to take it out of the Snakes. We're fifteen
minutes away for first pitch. Keys to the game are
next some Tim Kas's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
On tack.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
On your Home for the Blue All Season Log.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
It's Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer's your opener, followed
by Land and Knack. Brandon Fox will go for the Snakes.
The Dodgers in the stretch their next twenty nine games
against teams over five hundred the Diamonbacks, the Mets, the Guardians,
the Yankees, the Cardinals, the Padres of the Giants. So
a tough month coming up ahead for the Dodgers, fresh
off losing three straight to the Anaheim Angels, looking to
(38:51):
get back on track tonight. When the boys are in
blue play at home, it's important that they have the
right plan to protect their house. The same applies to
your home. Always have a planned to follow fire safety tips.
For example, user install ignition resistant materials around your home.
You fire resistant materials when building a deck, replace events
with ember and flame resistant events. Use noncombustible fencing materials
for the portion that connects to your house. Very important
(39:13):
you listen and for more tips like these and to
find out others, visit fire dot CA, dot God. Let's
head back out to the booth one final time before
first pitch, Steven Nelson and Jose Mota, Guys, time.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
For the Dodgers to wash away the stink of this
past weekend sweep at the hands of the visiting Angels.
To see the Diamondbacks little home and home on the
schedule here they split four games at Chase Field, Jose
Mota some really interesting ballgames, so some wild ones, some
fun finishes as well, And so now the Dodger's going
to try and get back on track. But prior to
these last three losses of the Angels, they've been darned
(39:46):
near unbeatable. Here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 9 (39:48):
They have done a good job. The Angels come in
and pretty much, let's call it just an aberration what
happened against the Angels. They were pretty much on every cylinder,
just striking quite hard. Now the Dbacks coming in, and
I talked to a couple of guys of the dbucks
coming into the series no matter when it is, but
it's the Dodgers and they know how to elevate their game.
The other thing, too, is let's start up all the
things that happened over in Arizona. The slugging from the
(40:08):
Dbacks was the one thing that dominated. Obviously, they had
a very good couple of starting pitchers do their jobs.
As you mentioned, falls and burns. But I think it's
gonna come down to just focusing on one part of
the line, especially to me, the bottom third. You have
to stop those guys, especially gout like Perdomo, because he
can cause a lot of damage, get on base steal basis,
and also from the number nine spot drive in some runs.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Yeah, keep in mind the number nine hitter this series
or although Perdomo that's where he's starting tonight. Anyway, he's
been one of the best players in the National League.
So he's not your stereotypical number nine hitter really like, oh,
that's an automatic out. Perdomo is definitely having a great year.
Give me a couple of keys tonight for the Dodgers
with Jack Dryer opening against Brandon Fott.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Number one thing is get a couple of zeros early
in the game. Offense jump ahead when the Dodgers scored first.
No secret to anybody, Even losing teams have winning records
when they score first. But I think it's going to
come down to just not depending only on the home run.
And you got a challenge, Gabriel Moreno, that's a little
key for me. Go Arthur and run on him, but
make sure you're also, you know, quiet him down with
(41:09):
the bat.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Hopefully Jack Dryer and Landon Knack can combine to provide
some stability for this pitching staff, which enters this series
having given up six plus runs in three straight games
and four of six games on this home stand. Three
games against the d Backs. The Dodgers and Arizona will
kick things off, shorty, Tim, Let's get it back to you, all.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Right, Thanks a lot, Nelly. When the game is over,
David Vassis got you cover but first things first, first pitches, Next,
Dodgers Snakes enjoyed everybody. I'm Tim Kasey's world champion. Los
