Speaker 4 (01:45):
Dodger owner Mark Walter.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yes, so now he takes over the two biggest franchises
in the world of American sports with the Dodgers and
the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
More on that coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
We'll check in with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. Course
the Gallpin Motors broadcast both well. Last night got a
little heated out of Dodgers Stadium between the Dodgers and
Padres who says this isn't a rivalry the Dodgers. With
the bullpen game, Jack Dryer got the start. He gave
up an RBI single in the first. As the Dodgers
were down one to nothing. In this second, they tied
(02:17):
it up thanks to Max Munseys sack fly.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Later, Andy pi has game the lead. Here's the pitch.
Pi has belts at left field. This bull's hit hard.
We'll it stay up.
Speaker 9 (02:26):
It is gone.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Andy Potts with a bullet gives the Dodgers the lead.
Home run number fourteen for Andy pottersin't it got.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Out in a hurry, two to one la.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Andy Pi has with the home run, his fourteenth of
the season.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Dodgers up two to one.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
In the third, the Padres would retake the lead as
they are up three to two. Cavin Sheets the sack
fly gave them the one run lead, and the bottom
of the fourth, Andy Pi haz added again. He tied
it at three thanks to a solo home run second
of the game, his fifteenth of this season, his first
multi hit home run game if the regular season in
(03:08):
his career. Dodgers and Padres tied at three. Things got
a little heated in the third inning. Fernando to Tez
Junior was hit in the top half of the third inning,
and in the bottom of the third show Hey O'tani
got plunked not cool, not cool at all. Dave Roberts
was ejected from the game. It was tied at three
going to the sixth inning, when the Dodgers would have
(03:29):
one of those big innings, and it started off with
Will Smith.
Speaker 9 (03:32):
So the Dodgers have the goal ahead run in scoring
position with nobody out.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
In the sixth the pass bowl.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
The twelfth pitch to Smith, swung on and built it
high in the air left field, carrying back.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
That is good.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Battle four, Battle one for Smith.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
This tie is broken in the.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Dodgers lead five three, Will Smith with a two run
home run. That fight was a twelveth pitch fight between
Jeremiah Estrada and Will Smith, and on the twelfth pitch
a fastball, Will Smith takes it deep a two run
shot Dodgers of five to three, and he Pa has
an RBI single. Tommy Edmit a two run double. A
five run sixth inning for the Dodgers last night, they
(04:26):
go on and beat the Padres eight to six. Matt
Sower gets the win. He's now two to one Tanners
Scott don't look now eight appearances since his hiccup against
the Mets on June second. He's got a win now.
In four saves fourteen saves total on the season. Dodgers
get the win, their fourth straight, three and a half
games up on San Francisco in the Division, five games
(04:48):
up of the Padres in the Division. They've taken four
or five so far from San Diego, and they look
to do it again tonight. First pitch at seven to ten,
and of course, the top tair play the game brought
to you by Arcoal, the top tier gasp he lies
and who is top tier? Emmett She and his top
tier prospect a couple of years ago coming back from
Tommy John surgery, and he makes his twenty twenty five
(05:10):
debut tonight and with more we head out to the
gallopin Butters broadcast booth as we welcome in Stephen Nelson
and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Guys, Thank you Tim Kats.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
Another sunny one to hear at Dodgers Stadium is the
Dodgers and Padres get ready for Game three of four.
A win tonight would mean five in or Roero overall
for the Dodgers, but most importantly a series win. Emmett
She and welcome back to the major leagues. He'll pitch
against Stephen Kolik, but before we get into tonight, MO
it's a special anniversary in Dodger Land. It's the anniversary
(05:39):
of course of Clayton Kershaw's no hitter.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
You know, and it's appropriate that we revisit that, especially
since he is back into the full and as the
starting pitcher. But you start to look at his career,
I mean, the numbers are absolutely off the charts and
what he has been able to do, if you know,
the last time out picked up the win. So his
career win just continue to go up and up and up,
and he really sends the tone and if I'm a
(06:04):
young pitcher, I want to be able to shadow him
every time he goes to the mound every time he
goes just to work out, because obviously what he has
done in his career has worked, and he's had to
evolve as the arsenal has changed, the health has diminished,
he has found different ways to prevent runs.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
That's all it is with Clayton Kershaw. It's run prevention.
He's done it better than anybody in the history of
the game. And so that's why his teammates, especially because
they have a front row seat. Really every pitcher in
the major leagues right now should look at Clayton Kershaw
and say, all right, I don't need to throw one
hundred and ten percent every pitch. I don't have to
throw one hundred miles per hour from anyone to inning five.
(06:50):
I can figure out how to get outs and reinvent
myself to get the job done. Like it really is
mind blowing to watch him over these last couple starts
of particular and to look around the game and kind
of scratch your head, like, how is nobody else trying?
Obviously he's a supreme talent, but just the way he
approaches the game, I think pitchers need to learn from that.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Well, He's he's a master at the mechanical part of pitching.
He also is a master at understanding how to pitch.
And by that I'm talking about, Okay, how do you
assume you're going to get this hitter out? Is he
a fast ball hit or is he breaking ball hitter?
What do I have that particular night, and what do
you have in that particular inning? Because if we think
(07:34):
back with Kershaw came back this year, did not really
have a good curve ball at all, but he kept
trying to mix it in occasionally, and then he mixed
it in again, and then finally a Bingo different game.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
And last outing that curveball was back, and he pitches
with the same sort of fire and passion for the game.
There's certainly a lot of fire in this series, Tim,
as you well know, with all the hit by pitches
we've seen between the Dodgers and Padres, and not just
this series, with the last one in San Diego seven
hit batters in five games played. We will see what
(08:05):
happens here tonight, but I think the bigger thing we're
interested to see is how Emmettchen looks in his twenty
twenty five season debut. We'll get into that and a
couple more keys the next time we visit with you.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
All right, thanks a lot and Elli.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yet, things have been heated so far in this series
sand down South in San Diego, but the Dodgers have
won four of those five matchups. As we count you
down to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game day
meal on a Shakey's Pizza parlor. What are your Shaky's
Pizza chick in Emojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com.

four game set. Image Sheen makes his return after Tommy
John surgery, missing twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
He is back and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Perfect timing for a Dodger starting rotation that needs more
healthy arms. Image Sheen on the mound first pitch at seventeen.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
This is the Otani rewhy.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well showy Otani last night's pretty quiet at the plate.
Offensively as the Dodgers designated hitter and leadoff hitter last night.
The Dodgers, though, would come back twice trailing the Padres,
including a five run sixth inning capped off by Tommy
Emmon to run double. Dodgers beat the Padres last night
again eight to six.
Speaker 6 (09:55):

Padres facing off for this sixth time already.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
In the last week.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Dodgers have won four of the five previous matchups, including
a thriller last night that saw Dave Roberts getting checked
in a couple of players get thrown out, including showy
O Todi. But we move forward to tonight because it's
a big game for the Dodgers, starting to separate themselves
in the division from the Giants and the Padres. And
for Immachian, he's back on the mound. This is a
guy I think Herson Dodger fans maybe have forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
He's only twenty five and he's back, I know, and you.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
Have to think about like, we do not have to
go two years back to when we saw him come
out from what I believe it was double A and
we saw him have his major league debut and he
was excellent and then unfortunately just the time was short
in due to having to have Tommy Johns surgery, but
he made an impression and back then, so now you
add two years, he's been excellent in his rehab outings
(11:05):
and those starts. He's put on a bit more muscle,
he's more physical, Like, this is a guy who's just
it's the natural just progression of getting older and maturing.
He's spilling out his body. But the stuff looks really,
really good. And so he came into spring training this
year and was in his throwing program and was very
adamant that he felt by like midsummer he was going
to be ready to be back. And he has shown
(11:27):
just that and also comes at a timing where you know, yes,
we do have quite a few arms who are on
the injured list. So for today, for Emmachian, he's excited,
Dave Roberts is excited. They've been really impressed with just
the stuff that they've been seeing from him. He's been
he's got that elevated fastball and it played really well
pre Tommy John and Dave was saying that from what
he's been seeing in the rehab starts, whether it's in
(11:49):
the bullpens, things like that, he's noticed that that ball,
he can command it even better, it's holding its velocity.
And so for today, they do want to see him
at that like sixty to seventy five pitch count range
because similar to you know, whether it's a show Hey
or Tawny or someone like Ben Casparius, he is still
technically building up. His last rehab start. He did not
(12:11):
get through four and that was the hope for him.
So they are going to be mindful with that. But
they also have to take into consideration the bullpen usage
is a bit high right now. We've seen six or
more pitchers coming out of the bull or excuse just
being used in the last three games. So they do
want to push him, but also respect that this is
his first start since coming off the il, and so
(12:31):
each pitch is going to have a little bit more intensity,
a little bit more excitement behind him.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Speaking of intensity, this series has been intense down in
San Diego.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Dodgers took two of three.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And they've taken the first two games so far of
this four game set up at Dodger Stadium. Kirsten, we
appreciate it. We'll talk to you after the game. Coming
up here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we dive
deeper into this pitching matchup. David vat Sag goes one
on one with Max Bunzi. But up next we get
you an injury report and we hear for the manager himself,
Dave Roberts. It's a Dodger and Padres first pitch at
(13:01):
seven ten. I've Tim Kates is the world champion. Los
Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
On deech.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
On your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Wednesday night.
As we lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers of
Padres Marongo Casino Resort and spot a grand slam for
good times. Immit she and makes his return Tommy John
surgery May of twenty twenty four. He is back, he
is healthy and he is ready to go. First pitch
at seven ten.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
He's the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Injury report presented by UCLA healthy official medical partner of
the Los Angeles Dodgers image she in his back his
first start since September of twenty twenty three. Matt Sour
got sent back to Triple A Oklahoma City. Tony Gonsol
on the il Tyler Glass now Blake Snell both throwing.
Luis Garcia is thrown through a sim game a couple
of days ago at Dodger Stadium, Blake trying and throw
(14:01):
a bullpen session a few days ago at Dodger Stadium
as well, and Roki Sasaki is throwing on the side.
So there's the latest Dodgers injury news. Let's head back
out to Dodger Stadium as we check in with the Dodgers.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
Questions for Dave.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
the pressure in.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
The dugouts with Dave Robberts, I expecting to come out
emotions good. I think that he does a good job
like a lot of our guys as far as kind
of hiding your emotions. But I think that there'll be
some butterflies in there, as there should be. This is
a big moment from it. He's had a long road
(14:42):
to get back to pitching and pitching in a big
league ball game. My expectation is for him to be
on the attack. We're obviously taxed in the pen, so
we need some length out of him, and so he's
got the stuff to go out there and just attack
these guys and kind of see where the game's at.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Does that mean as he.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
Kind of gets closer to that maybe sixty pitch down,
where do you.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Want to see where he's at?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
The ovis you keep fishing grow?
Speaker 11 (15:10):
Yeah? I think that's that's right. I think somewhere between
the sixty seventy pitch mark is kind of where we
see him, you know, giving his first start back.
Speaker 12 (15:19):
Did you catch what should had to say after the
game last night? You referenced lu Trevino hitting Tattis last
Tuesday and then again last night, and you kind of,
you know, reference that may have been the precipitus to
autonomy hit.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
What would be your reaction to the that's yeah, you
know what, I don't know. I did hear those words.
And it's interesting because you know there is an intent
part of it versus you know, a player getting hit
not intentionally, right, and just to kind of go back
(15:58):
and I'll be brief is we're not going to and
Trevino to hit a right hand hitter. That's why he's
in there to try to get the right hand hitter
out right, We're not trying it the first hit of
the game. So he's a sinker ball guy. He lost it,
but as he did say, it never feels good. So yeah,
if you do pitch inside, you still got a pitch.
And side was not just hitting guys, So I absolutely respect.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That, but.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
That's kind of where we're at on that. And I
can honestly say none of the guys that were hit
by them by us was with any intent, not at all.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
All Right, there's a manager Dave Roberts certainly a lot
of talk about all the hits batman in this first
five games between the Dodgers and Padres of this season.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
That is Dave Roberts down the dug out.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
While we continue here, we will check out with David
Vasa get all the latest. As we lead you up
to first pitch, Dodgers and Padres. Image Sheen is back.
First pitch is seven ten. I'm Tim kase Is the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's the Dodgers and the Padres. Emma Sheen and Stephen
Kollach to pitching matchup. First pitch from Dodger Stadium was
coming up at.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Seven, joining Tim Kaits on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 14 (17:21):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
This is Dodger insider David Basse, all right, DV.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
They've played five times already.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Seven guys have got hitten by pitch in these flash
five games. Last night and three different guys get paiged
because on Dave Roberts get ejected from the game.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Do you expect any spillover tonight?
Speaker 14 (17:42):
Well, the only way that there won't be any spillover
is if the umpires won both benches before first pitch,
which is a possibility. But my understanding, just talking to
both sides today, they believe that it's over with what
we saw last night and there shouldn't be any spillover.
(18:02):
And even after the game last night, Padres manager Mike
Shildt kind of alluded to the reason why the Padres
may have hit Otani intentionally last night.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Things happening in baseball. You know, I mean, you know,
guys are trying to pitch in, guys are looking at
make quality pitches. You know, Trevino got Toddy and opened
the game when he when he was the opener in
the game at our place, and you know he got
him again today, and you know, I didn't feel real good,
and you know, I'm just trying to make quality pitches
(18:35):
and you know, fight for the inner half for the
play and Paul got away from Basque, So I understand
that they have to do it at that point. And
you know, there wasn't any complaint for my side.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, sounds a little suspicious to me.
Speaker 14 (18:49):
And I spoke to Lou Trevino before the game today
and he said, look, I got a pitch inside of
right handed hitters, and I've only hit one one hitter
in the last four years. So I understand how it
appears and why Mike Shildt and Fernando Tatists Junior may
not be happy with me, considering that I've hit him.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Twice in the last week.
Speaker 14 (19:10):
But it's certainly not intentional, and even talking to some
of Travino's teammates, they also told me that it was
absolutely unintentional.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
David has brought to you by the twenty twenty five
four f one fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
It's time to see Ford in a new light, take
advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. Any word,
David on when show hey Otani will take them out
again and pitch.
Speaker 14 (19:36):
Dave Roberts said, even though o'tani was hit last night,
that would not prevent him from pitching as scheduled. Now
what is as scheduled? Still no clear date on when
that's going to be. But like I mentioned yesterday, Tim,
it's either going to be Sunday or Tuesday. Sunday here
at Dodgers Stadium or Tuesday in Denver, and we'll have
(19:58):
to see which day Dodgers announced, but those would be
on the once a week schedule, David.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
The big story here in Los Angeles certainly Dodgers padres
Dodgers' first place in the NL West, but Mark Walter,
Dodger owner, is buying a majority of the Lakers from
the buzz family. I heard you on with a five
seventy LA Sports earlier talking about this.
Speaker 14 (20:20):
This is a big deal, huge deal, and as it
was with the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
It's not just about the team.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
But Dave Roberts said that Mark Walter wants to win,
and that's evident because his actions and the way he
has invested so much in the roster and into the
stadium says it all, and the Lakers can expect the same.
This wasn't even a surprise because it was more of
an win than if this would happen if you were
(20:50):
paying attention going back to twenty twenty one when he
bought a portion of the Lakers from Philip ennshoots that
also included the first rider refusal to be able to
buy the majority steak of the Lakers if the Bus
family decided to sell. Well, they all decided to sell,
(21:11):
and Mark Walter said absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
That is awesome certainly for Laker fans. But uh, we've
seen what thing to do with the Dodgers and maybe
they can turn things.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Around for the Purple Local.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
David, we appreciate it coming up here on Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck. David'll be back on one on one

Speaker 6 (24:31):
And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 14 (24:40):
Rick, what a game last night between two teams that
obviously don't have a lot of love lossimes.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I were tested for you, David, did you walk away
to the bruise?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Not?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Luckily you're the only one that was not hit. There
have been some guys that have been plumped here and
there and what have you. I'm still okay. I don't
think it is going to happen. I doubt if there's
an even a warning for both sides. When the line
of cards are being distributed today at home plate, it
might be but a big, big deal. I didn't think
(25:08):
was overboard or anything like that. What I did think
was overboard was some of the umpiring last night. For
the life of me, I don't understand how during the
middle of a play, and I'm talking about the play
that there was a throw to Tease Junior was going
to second base. He was there, there was a tag attempted.
The ball came out of Mookie Ben's glove as the
throw was coming in from the outfield and at the time,
(25:32):
as it turns out, to Tease thought he had been
called out, so he walks off the bag. He gets tagged.
The second base umpire, who happens to be at the
crew chief, calls him out. But the home played umpire
for some unexplainable reason, and they never did address it
last night. But I'm going to I dressed it last night.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I was hot.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I thought about it. I'm still a little bit hot
because the home played umpire, while the ball was still
in play, decided that he wanted to put a new
baseball into play, and he called time out for that reason.
It was not it was not needed. He was out
of turn. That's my story until I hear an official
word from someone that's an official. I know Brian Gorman
(26:10):
was here last night for a major league umpire and
a great one, and now as an umpire supervisor. Why
on earth the home played umpire was trying to put
a new ball into play while there was still something
going on, was in my mind unnecessary and there's no
excuse for it.
Speaker 14 (26:27):
You know, somebody brought this up to me, and you
always explain this. You may ask for time, but it
may not always be granted exactly. And the second base
umpire never granted time to Fernando Tatist Junior. No, never
did the two most heads up players on the field
last night during that sequence of events, to me, where
Will Smith and Tommy.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Edmon Well In looking at the replay again, I didn't
understand it live and then looking at the replay, evidently
there were only two people there were last night fifty
one thousand, five hundred and fifty five plus you've got
twenty six players on both sides. Only two people in
the ballpark knew that time had been called by the
home plane umpire. That was a home plate umpire himself,
(27:09):
Ryan Blakeney and Will Smith, And I don't know how
audible it was the time out, but why on earth
are you stopping play because you want to put a
new baseball into play? To me, that was more he
tells us still a little hot.
Speaker 14 (27:25):
Well rightfully, so Rick, to me, that was more egregious
than anything we saw.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
There's another thing. There's another thing too, And I do
know the Major League Baseball it's a work in progress.
But the umpires are all miked. You know, they had
they had microphones with them. They can go ahead and
transmit communication back and forth to New York. They could
also make public announcements. Why do we still have fifty
five thousand people here not know what's going on as
(27:51):
far as what the umpires are doing on the field
when they are equipped to make the call correctly. If
people will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
it's the only major sport to where the officials do
not communicate with everyone and let them know what's going.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
On without a doubt.
Speaker 14 (28:06):
And that was supposed to be something that changed going
into the season.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Yeah, right, they do it in the NFL and the NAH.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Okay, so I'll get off this soapbox. But all in
all I thought last night was it was a very
good game. I think quite frankly, the series between these
two teams has been entertaining, to say the least, and
I expect that tonight. I'm really happy as you are
too for Image and Who's it's been a long road back,
and it's been since the twenty seventh of September twenty
(28:34):
twenty three since he was last on the mound. He's
worked hard. Really happy for him to be back on
the mountains.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Great guy, easy, gotta root for it.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
See very similar to you, David.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Rick.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
We'll leave it right there. We'll send it back to
you in the studio.
Speaker 2 (28:47):

I'm wrong with Casino. Dodgers on deck before first fitch,
we'll get you a preview of this pitching matchup Rick,

Well here from maximum we returned Dodgers and Padres. First
pitch of seven ten. I'm Tim Kasey's the world champion.
Los Angeles Dodgers audio.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
tack on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Lead you up to the first pitch from Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers and the Padres. Emmitt Sheen makes his return from

Speaker 4 (29:58):
You could taste. It's always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
from a Dodger player.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
This is high and tight.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
It's the Dodgers and Padres Round six, and we're joined
right now by Dodger third baseman Max Munsey, Max, thanks
a lot for the time. Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, sure, anytime.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
All right.
Speaker 14 (30:20):
So you hadn't seen the Padres all season long, and
now you're seeing them seven times within a week. How
much does that contribute to the playoff feel? And maybe
you know, obviously the intensity we've seen over the course
of the last week.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, you know, just like the whole last month, it's
kind of felt like that's been our stretch. We were
playing these teams back to back a bunch. You know,
you talk about the Mets and you some of these
other teams, we're seeing them a lot, and uh, you know,
just over the last couple of weeks, we've played a
lot of teams that are in first place, uh, you know,
fighting for first place right around there, and so it's
just been, uh, you know, it's been a tough couple
of weeks. And then we get these guys, like you said,
(30:56):
seven times in a week, and you know, it's always
a lot of energy in these games, and it's a
you know, it's been a fun atmosphere and you know,
thankfully the atmosphere has been what it what it's been. Otherwise,
you know, you know, with where we're at, right now,
I'd be a little tough to get through the games.
Speaker 14 (31:10):
What was playing in last night's game, like it did
feel like a playoff game, as you pointed out after
it was three and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, you know, we it was a national TV game.
We seem to be getting quite a lot of those recently.
And you know when the national TV games they go
to you know, three minutes in between innings instead of
just the two minutes, and it's it's crazy how much
just you know, it's eighteen minutes added on to the
game right there. And then you know, they just feel
so much longer. And you know, when you get used
(31:39):
to having the you know, the new rules with the
pitch clock and everything, the games just feel to go,
you know, so much faster. You feel in rhythm, you
don't feel like you sit around as much. And then
you get the TV games and you feel like you're
sitting around all the time all of a sudden, and
you know, it just it just it's a it makes
for a longer game.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
And last night was definitely.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
A really long game and you know, had a little
bit of everything involved in it.
Speaker 14 (32:00):
Yeah, including Showhyotani being hit by Randy Vasquez, were you
as surprised as a lot of us were to see
him take not just one shot, but two shots to
try to hit your star player.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, you know I had last night. I said, I
didn't think it was intentional. I just thought they were
trying to get fastballs in on them, And going back
and watching it, I might have a different opinion now,
but you know, it's over with. It is what it is.
We got another game today. Last night was last night.
It doesn't have any effect on today's game at all.
And so you know, that's how we've always approached things.
(32:34):
You know, all year long. Today's the only day that matters.
Nothing that happened previously matters at all, and nothing that's
going to happen tomorrow matters. And you know, we got
to get through today. We got to prepare for today,
to do whatever we have to do to make sure
we're prepared to go out there and win the game tonight.
Speaker 14 (32:47):
Max Munsey is our guest in front of first pitch
between the Dodgers and Padres. You alluded to the stretch
of the schedule. Max, how aware were you and your
teammates going into it, going back to the last time
you played the Diamondbacks. You're about to finish up a
twenty nine game stretch against playoff contenders.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
You know, a lot of us don't really pay attention
to the schedule other than you know, where are we
going on this upcoming road trip that kind of stuff.
And you know, I think we were sitting there one
of the games and on TV they showed what our
schedule was upcoming, and a lot of guys were like, well,
we got a gauntlet coming up, and you know, that's
basically all the comments that were made. It was just like, oh,
it's gonna be a tough stretch, but all right, here
(33:28):
we go. We gotta get through it. And you know,
every single game is tough. This is the major leagues.
There's not I know, there's teams that have bad records,
but there's no such thing as a bad team in
the major leagues. These are the best players in the world.
And on any given night, a pitcher can go out
there and you know, throw seven innings, you know, easy,
And on any given night, a pitcher can go out
there and not make it out of the first It's
you know, it's baseball. Things are gonna happen and you
(33:49):
just got to find a way to get through it all.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Max.
Speaker 14 (33:51):
I know everybody always focuses on offense, and you guys
are the best offense in baseball, but you personally, it
feels like the defense at third base only has become
more consistent. But you're starting to make plays that we
have seen you make the last.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Couple of years. So what do you attribute that to?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
One?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Hard work, getting on your every day me and Mookie,
me and Miggey Row and you know, just continually talking
about it. Getting knowledge about defense. I think that's a
huge thing instead of just you know, learning how you're
going about your work, what you're doing in your work,
making each repue take purposeful and not just you know,
Oh I'm going out there and I took thirty ground balls.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
I feel good.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
It's you know, how are you taking those thirty ground balls?
How are you to you know, what are you doing
to make those better? How are you preparing for it?
And then the other thing is just getting confidence, you know,
And that's something I've talked about a bunch, whether it's
on offense, defense, whether you're on the mound. You know,
if you don't have any confidence in yourself, it's hard
to compete in this game, and you know, sometimes all
it takes is one play to to swing that pendulum
(34:50):
the other way. And you know, for me, it's just
getting the confidence back in the defense. One of those
things where I've I don't know how many times I've
told you, I really feel like I can be a
good defender. I feel like I have the actions a
good defender. But you know, when you lose confidence, it's
it's hard to really go out there and do what
you've been practicing. And so for me, it's just getting
a little confidence back.
Speaker 14 (35:10):
It seems like you do have that confidence. It feels
like you're kind of not not just writing a swagger,
but kind of at piece with the way that you're
happy with your play.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, you can always get better, you know, it's baseball.
You can always you can always play better. But uh uh,
you know that's I think that's what makes this game
so loving and frustrating at the same time, is you
know you're never going to be perfect in this game,
even though you try to attain it every single day,
And you know, and that's that's the beauty of it,
and that's the things that's that's some of the things
that I've learned from my teammates over the years. When
(35:41):
you talk about the guys that I've played with, whether
it's Kershaw or Albert or you know, Matt Camp, all
these guys they play for, you know, all these years,
and all of them say there's always things you can
learn and always things you can get better at.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
And you know it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Every single day you can learn something new and you
can do something better, and you know that's that's the
end goal is to try to get as much knowledge
as you can and keep getting better every single day.
Speaker 14 (36:03):
Thanks a lot for the time, Max. Always love catching
up with you and keep it going.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Of course, Thanks David.

It's fireworks seasons, so make sure you're always practicing fireworks safety.
Use safe insane fireworks that displayed the California State Fire

only lit by adults. Please never use fireworks in your
dry grass or other flammable materials. For more about these
tips and to find out others, visit fire dot CA

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Dodgers and Padres.
Speaker 9 (38:53):
Game three of four between these two teams, and the
Dodgers trying to clinch this four game series and make
it five wins in a row right now. They enter
Wednesday with their largest division lead of the season, three
and a half games above the San Francisco Giants. We're
at home again tonight against Cleveland here at Dodger Stadium.
Rick Monday, It's the return of Emmett Sheehan. We saw
(39:13):
him a couple of years ago in twenty twenty three.
Miss all of last season. He was on the injury
list with a shoulder issue and then the elbow ultimately
led to Tommy John. He has worked his way back
and now he's got a chance to return to the
Major League Mountain.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
This is a special knight for the old man. Yeah,
and he's going to be able to fight control emotion.
I don't know how much he's going to fight, if
it may be some semblance of controllus been September twenty seventh,
twenty twenty three, the last time on the mount in
Major League Ballpark, and then that Tommy John surgery. So
Dave Roberts is saying, look, hopefully he'll be somewhere between
sixty and seventy pitches in today's game. But if we
(39:46):
look back to what he was able to do in
twenty three coming back up, you know, eleven starts in
a couple of relief appearances, he really developed into a
guy that not only running the fastball by some people,
but also that breaking stuff on top of it. He
did give up some home run. We'll find out what
happens on that end of it. But really happy for
Sheen because any pitcher that goes through it, you're wondering
first of all about your livelihood and your dreams. And
(40:08):
he fought through that, had wonderful surgery rehabs, and now
well the curtain goes up for Sheen.
Speaker 9 (40:14):
I spent some time with them Camel back in spring
training when obviously he was still very much in the
middle of the rehab process. He's put on a lot
of size. I mean, he was just inhaling protein when
we were chatting and he was isn't such a good spot.
And I think we want to take this moment to
remind people. And back in twenty twenty three, when Emmitt
Sheen came up talking to some people in the front office,
(40:35):
they said that Emmett Sheen's fastball was you could argue
was the best pitch in the entire organization. I mean,
you think about all the talent that they had even
two years ago. They've certainly added to it since then,
but just that one pitch. And so now obviously you're
coming off surgery, so things are going to change somewhat.
But that just speaks to the ability that he has
(40:57):
and I can't wait to watch Himah.
Speaker 6 (40:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:58):
I think the fastball, if we go back in the
memory bank, surprised a lot of hitters. It got on
him in a hurry, and it was something that's not
easy to hit on the flip side. Dodgers is going
to figure out Colick, who originally signed with the Dodgers
out of Texas and m and here's the young man.
If you look at him first inning, he's had problems
at three to zero three average ERA almost eight in
the first inning. The first pitch in the batt is
(41:21):
three eighty five. But once he gets settled into a ballgame,
he's been very, very difficult. In fact, he's not allowed
to earn run in four of his eight starts this year.
Speaker 9 (41:30):
It'll be Stephen Kolik, former Dodger draft pick, against Emmitt
she and another Dodger draft pick. She and the sixteenth
different starting pitcher to toe the rubber this season for
the Dodgers, the most in Major League Baseball, and he
is the ball trying to lead them to a series win. Timp,
we'll get it.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Back to you, all right, first Pitch'll we come back

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Dodger owner Mark Walter.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yes, so now he takes over the two biggest franchises
in the world of American sports with the Dodgers and
the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
More on that coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
We'll check in with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. Course
the Gallpin Motors broadcast both well. Last night got a
little heated out of Dodgers Stadium between the Dodgers and
Padres who says this isn't a rivalry the Dodgers. With
the bullpen game, Jack Dryer got the start. He gave
up an RBI single in the first. As the Dodgers
were down one to nothing. In this second, they tied
(02:17):
it up thanks to Max Munseys sack fly.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Later, Andy pi has game the lead. Here's the pitch.
Pi has belts at left field. This bull's hit hard.
We'll it stay up.
Speaker 9 (02:26):
It is gone.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Andy Potts with a bullet gives the Dodgers the lead.
Home run number fourteen for Andy pottersin't it got.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Out in a hurry, two to one la.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Andy Pi has with the home run, his fourteenth of
the season.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Dodgers up two to one.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
In the third, the Padres would retake the lead as
they are up three to two. Cavin Sheets the sack
fly gave them the one run lead, and the bottom
of the fourth, Andy Pi haz added again. He tied
it at three thanks to a solo home run second
of the game, his fifteenth of this season, his first
multi hit home run game if the regular season in
(03:08):
his career. Dodgers and Padres tied at three. Things got
a little heated in the third inning. Fernando to Tez
Junior was hit in the top half of the third inning,
and in the bottom of the third show Hey O'tani
got plunked not cool, not cool at all. Dave Roberts
was ejected from the game. It was tied at three
going to the sixth inning, when the Dodgers would have
(03:29):
one of those big innings, and it started off with
Will Smith.
Speaker 9 (03:32):
So the Dodgers have the goal ahead run in scoring
position with nobody out.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
In the sixth the pass bowl.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
The twelfth pitch to Smith, swung on and built it
high in the air left field, carrying back.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
That is good.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Battle four, Battle one for Smith.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
This tie is broken in the.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Dodgers lead five three, Will Smith with a two run
home run. That fight was a twelveth pitch fight between
Jeremiah Estrada and Will Smith, and on the twelfth pitch
a fastball, Will Smith takes it deep a two run
shot Dodgers of five to three, and he Pa has
an RBI single. Tommy Edmit a two run double. A
five run sixth inning for the Dodgers last night, they
(04:26):
go on and beat the Padres eight to six. Matt
Sower gets the win. He's now two to one Tanners
Scott don't look now eight appearances since his hiccup against
the Mets on June second. He's got a win now.
In four saves fourteen saves total on the season. Dodgers
get the win, their fourth straight, three and a half
games up on San Francisco in the Division, five games
(04:48):
up of the Padres in the Division. They've taken four
or five so far from San Diego, and they look
to do it again tonight. First pitch at seven to ten,
and of course, the top tair play the game brought
to you by Arcoal, the top tier gasp he lies
and who is top tier? Emmett She and his top
tier prospect a couple of years ago coming back from
Tommy John surgery, and he makes his twenty twenty five
(05:10):
debut tonight and with more we head out to the
gallopin Butters broadcast booth as we welcome in Stephen Nelson
and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Guys, Thank you Tim Kats.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
Another sunny one to hear at Dodgers Stadium is the
Dodgers and Padres get ready for Game three of four.
A win tonight would mean five in or Roero overall
for the Dodgers, but most importantly a series win. Emmett
She and welcome back to the major leagues. He'll pitch
against Stephen Kolik, but before we get into tonight, MO
it's a special anniversary in Dodger Land. It's the anniversary
(05:39):
of course of Clayton Kershaw's no hitter.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
You know, and it's appropriate that we revisit that, especially
since he is back into the full and as the
starting pitcher. But you start to look at his career,
I mean, the numbers are absolutely off the charts and
what he has been able to do, if you know,
the last time out picked up the win. So his
career win just continue to go up and up and up,
and he really sends the tone and if I'm a
(06:04):
young pitcher, I want to be able to shadow him
every time he goes to the mound every time he
goes just to work out, because obviously what he has
done in his career has worked, and he's had to
evolve as the arsenal has changed, the health has diminished,
he has found different ways to prevent runs.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
That's all it is with Clayton Kershaw. It's run prevention.
He's done it better than anybody in the history of
the game. And so that's why his teammates, especially because
they have a front row seat. Really every pitcher in
the major leagues right now should look at Clayton Kershaw
and say, all right, I don't need to throw one
hundred and ten percent every pitch. I don't have to
throw one hundred miles per hour from anyone to inning five.
(06:50):
I can figure out how to get outs and reinvent
myself to get the job done. Like it really is
mind blowing to watch him over these last couple starts
of particular and to look around the game and kind
of scratch your head, like, how is nobody else trying?
Obviously he's a supreme talent, but just the way he
approaches the game, I think pitchers need to learn from that.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Well, He's he's a master at the mechanical part of pitching.
He also is a master at understanding how to pitch.
And by that I'm talking about, Okay, how do you
assume you're going to get this hitter out? Is he
a fast ball hit or is he breaking ball hitter?
What do I have that particular night, and what do
you have in that particular inning? Because if we think
(07:34):
back with Kershaw came back this year, did not really
have a good curve ball at all, but he kept
trying to mix it in occasionally, and then he mixed
it in again, and then finally a Bingo different game.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
And last outing that curveball was back, and he pitches
with the same sort of fire and passion for the game.
There's certainly a lot of fire in this series, Tim,
as you well know, with all the hit by pitches
we've seen between the Dodgers and Padres, and not just
this series, with the last one in San Diego seven
hit batters in five games played. We will see what
(08:05):
happens here tonight, but I think the bigger thing we're
interested to see is how Emmettchen looks in his twenty
twenty five season debut. We'll get into that and a
couple more keys the next time we visit with you.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
All right, thanks a lot and Elli.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yet, things have been heated so far in this series
sand down South in San Diego, but the Dodgers have

healthy arms. Image Sheen on the mound first pitch at seventeen.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
This is the Otani rewhy.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well showy Otani last night's pretty quiet at the plate.
Offensively as the Dodgers designated hitter and leadoff hitter last night.
The Dodgers, though, would come back twice trailing the Padres,
including a five run sixth inning capped off by Tommy
Emmon to run double. Dodgers beat the Padres last night
again eight to six.

Padres facing off for this sixth time already.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
In the last week.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Dodgers have won four of the five previous matchups, including
a thriller last night that saw Dave Roberts getting checked
in a couple of players get thrown out, including showy
O Todi. But we move forward to tonight because it's
a big game for the Dodgers, starting to separate themselves
in the division from the Giants and the Padres. And
for Immachian, he's back on the mound. This is a
guy I think Herson Dodger fans maybe have forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
He's only twenty five and he's back, I know, and you.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
Have to think about like, we do not have to
go two years back to when we saw him come
out from what I believe it was double A and
we saw him have his major league debut and he
was excellent and then unfortunately just the time was short
in due to having to have Tommy Johns surgery, but
he made an impression and back then, so now you
add two years, he's been excellent in his rehab outings
(11:05):
and those starts. He's put on a bit more muscle,
he's more physical, Like, this is a guy who's just
it's the natural just progression of getting older and maturing.
He's spilling out his body. But the stuff looks really,
really good. And so he came into spring training this
year and was in his throwing program and was very
adamant that he felt by like midsummer he was going
to be ready to be back. And he has shown
(11:27):
just that and also comes at a timing where you know, yes,
we do have quite a few arms who are on
the injured list. So for today, for Emmachian, he's excited,
Dave Roberts is excited. They've been really impressed with just
the stuff that they've been seeing from him. He's been
he's got that elevated fastball and it played really well
pre Tommy John and Dave was saying that from what
he's been seeing in the rehab starts, whether it's in
(11:49):
the bullpens, things like that, he's noticed that that ball,
he can command it even better, it's holding its velocity.
And so for today, they do want to see him
at that like sixty to seventy five pitch count range
because similar to you know, whether it's a show Hey
or Tawny or someone like Ben Casparius, he is still
technically building up. His last rehab start. He did not
(12:11):
get through four and that was the hope for him.
So they are going to be mindful with that. But
they also have to take into consideration the bullpen usage
is a bit high right now. We've seen six or
more pitchers coming out of the bull or excuse just
being used in the last three games. So they do
want to push him, but also respect that this is
his first start since coming off the il, and so
(12:31):
each pitch is going to have a little bit more intensity,
a little bit more excitement behind him.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Speaking of intensity, this series has been intense down in
San Diego.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Dodgers took two of three.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And they've taken the first two games so far of
this four game set up at Dodger Stadium. Kirsten, we
appreciate it. We'll talk to you after the game. Coming
up here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we dive
deeper into this pitching matchup. David vat Sag goes one
on one with Max Bunzi. But up next we get
you an injury report and we hear for the manager himself,
Dave Roberts. It's a Dodger and Padres first pitch at
(13:01):
seven ten. I've Tim Kates is the world champion. Los
Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
On deech.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
On your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Wednesday night.
As we lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers of
Padres Marongo Casino Resort and spot a grand slam for
good times. Immit she and makes his return Tommy John
surgery May of twenty twenty four. He is back, he
is healthy and he is ready to go. First pitch
at seven ten.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
He's the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Injury report presented by UCLA healthy official medical partner of
the Los Angeles Dodgers image she in his back his
first start since September of twenty twenty three. Matt Sour
got sent back to Triple A Oklahoma City. Tony Gonsol
on the il Tyler Glass now Blake Snell both throwing.
Luis Garcia is thrown through a sim game a couple
of days ago at Dodger Stadium, Blake trying and throw
(14:01):
a bullpen session a few days ago at Dodger Stadium
as well, and Roki Sasaki is throwing on the side.
So there's the latest Dodgers injury news. Let's head back
out to Dodger Stadium as we check in with the Dodgers.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
Questions for Dave.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
the pressure in.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
The dugouts with Dave Robberts, I expecting to come out
emotions good. I think that he does a good job
like a lot of our guys as far as kind
of hiding your emotions. But I think that there'll be
some butterflies in there, as there should be. This is
a big moment from it. He's had a long road
(14:42):
to get back to pitching and pitching in a big
league ball game. My expectation is for him to be
on the attack. We're obviously taxed in the pen, so
we need some length out of him, and so he's
got the stuff to go out there and just attack
these guys and kind of see where the game's at.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Does that mean as he.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
Kind of gets closer to that maybe sixty pitch down,
where do you.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Want to see where he's at?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
The ovis you keep fishing grow?
Speaker 11 (15:10):
Yeah? I think that's that's right. I think somewhere between
the sixty seventy pitch mark is kind of where we
see him, you know, giving his first start back.
Speaker 12 (15:19):
Did you catch what should had to say after the
game last night? You referenced lu Trevino hitting Tattis last
Tuesday and then again last night, and you kind of,
you know, reference that may have been the precipitus to
autonomy hit.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
What would be your reaction to the that's yeah, you
know what, I don't know. I did hear those words.
And it's interesting because you know there is an intent
part of it versus you know, a player getting hit
not intentionally, right, and just to kind of go back
(15:58):
and I'll be brief is we're not going to and
Trevino to hit a right hand hitter. That's why he's
in there to try to get the right hand hitter
out right, We're not trying it the first hit of
the game. So he's a sinker ball guy. He lost it,
but as he did say, it never feels good. So yeah,
if you do pitch inside, you still got a pitch.
And side was not just hitting guys, So I absolutely respect.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That, but.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
That's kind of where we're at on that. And I
can honestly say none of the guys that were hit
by them by us was with any intent, not at all.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
All Right, there's a manager Dave Roberts certainly a lot
of talk about all the hits batman in this first
five games between the Dodgers and Padres of this season.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
That is Dave Roberts down the dug out.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
While we continue here, we will check out with David
Vasa get all the latest. As we lead you up
to first pitch, Dodgers and Padres. Image Sheen is back.
First pitch is seven ten. I'm Tim kase Is the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's the Dodgers and the Padres. Emma Sheen and Stephen
Kollach to pitching matchup. First pitch from Dodger Stadium was
coming up at.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Seven, joining Tim Kaits on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 14 (17:21):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
This is Dodger insider David Basse, all right, DV.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
They've played five times already.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Seven guys have got hitten by pitch in these flash
five games. Last night and three different guys get paiged
because on Dave Roberts get ejected from the game.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Do you expect any spillover tonight?
Speaker 14 (17:42):
Well, the only way that there won't be any spillover
is if the umpires won both benches before first pitch,
which is a possibility. But my understanding, just talking to
both sides today, they believe that it's over with what
we saw last night and there shouldn't be any spillover.
(18:02):
And even after the game last night, Padres manager Mike
Shildt kind of alluded to the reason why the Padres
may have hit Otani intentionally last night.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Things happening in baseball. You know, I mean, you know,
guys are trying to pitch in, guys are looking at
make quality pitches. You know, Trevino got Toddy and opened
the game when he when he was the opener in
the game at our place, and you know he got
him again today, and you know, I didn't feel real good,
and you know, I'm just trying to make quality pitches
(18:35):
and you know, fight for the inner half for the
play and Paul got away from Basque, So I understand
that they have to do it at that point. And
you know, there wasn't any complaint for my side.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, sounds a little suspicious to me.
Speaker 14 (18:49):
And I spoke to Lou Trevino before the game today
and he said, look, I got a pitch inside of
right handed hitters, and I've only hit one one hitter
in the last four years. So I understand how it
appears and why Mike Shildt and Fernando Tatists Junior may
not be happy with me, considering that I've hit him.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Twice in the last week.
Speaker 14 (19:10):
But it's certainly not intentional, and even talking to some
of Travino's teammates, they also told me that it was
absolutely unintentional.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
David has brought to you by the twenty twenty five
four f one fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
It's time to see Ford in a new light, take
advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. Any word,
David on when show hey Otani will take them out
again and pitch.
Speaker 14 (19:36):
Dave Roberts said, even though o'tani was hit last night,
that would not prevent him from pitching as scheduled. Now
what is as scheduled? Still no clear date on when
that's going to be. But like I mentioned yesterday, Tim,
it's either going to be Sunday or Tuesday. Sunday here
at Dodgers Stadium or Tuesday in Denver, and we'll have
(19:58):
to see which day Dodgers announced, but those would be
on the once a week schedule, David.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
The big story here in Los Angeles certainly Dodgers padres
Dodgers' first place in the NL West, but Mark Walter,
Dodger owner, is buying a majority of the Lakers from
the buzz family. I heard you on with a five
seventy LA Sports earlier talking about this.
Speaker 14 (20:20):
This is a big deal, huge deal, and as it
was with the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
It's not just about the team.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
But Dave Roberts said that Mark Walter wants to win,
and that's evident because his actions and the way he
has invested so much in the roster and into the
stadium says it all, and the Lakers can expect the same.
This wasn't even a surprise because it was more of
an win than if this would happen if you were
(20:50):
paying attention going back to twenty twenty one when he
bought a portion of the Lakers from Philip ennshoots that
also included the first rider refusal to be able to
buy the majority steak of the Lakers if the Bus
family decided to sell. Well, they all decided to sell,
(21:11):
and Mark Walter said absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
That is awesome certainly for Laker fans. But uh, we've
seen what thing to do with the Dodgers and maybe
they can turn things.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Around for the Purple Local.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
David, we appreciate it coming up here on Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck. David'll be back on one on one
with Max Muncy that's coming up in fifteen minutes. We'll
dive deeper in this matchup as well with Image. She

twenty twenty three. But I'm next sure Dodgers Magical Moment.

back hand with Rick Monday lead you up to first
pitch on this Wednesday night, Dodgers and Padres. I'm Tim Kasis,
the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers on your network.

Speaker 2 (23:55):

Speaker 6 (24:31):
And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 14 (24:40):
Rick, what a game last night between two teams that
obviously don't have a lot of love lossimes.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I were tested for you, David, did you walk away
to the bruise?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Not?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Luckily you're the only one that was not hit. There
have been some guys that have been plumped here and
there and what have you. I'm still okay. I don't
think it is going to happen. I doubt if there's
an even a warning for both sides. When the line
of cards are being distributed today at home plate, it
might be but a big, big deal. I didn't think
(25:08):
was overboard or anything like that. What I did think
was overboard was some of the umpiring last night. For
the life of me, I don't understand how during the
middle of a play, and I'm talking about the play
that there was a throw to Tease Junior was going
to second base. He was there, there was a tag attempted.
The ball came out of Mookie Ben's glove as the
throw was coming in from the outfield and at the time,
(25:32):
as it turns out, to Tease thought he had been
called out, so he walks off the bag. He gets tagged.
The second base umpire, who happens to be at the
crew chief, calls him out. But the home played umpire
for some unexplainable reason, and they never did address it
last night. But I'm going to I dressed it last night.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I was hot.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I thought about it. I'm still a little bit hot
because the home played umpire, while the ball was still
in play, decided that he wanted to put a new
baseball into play, and he called time out for that reason.
It was not it was not needed. He was out
of turn. That's my story until I hear an official
word from someone that's an official. I know Brian Gorman
(26:10):
was here last night for a major league umpire and
a great one, and now as an umpire supervisor. Why
on earth the home played umpire was trying to put
a new ball into play while there was still something
going on, was in my mind unnecessary and there's no
excuse for it.
Speaker 14 (26:27):
You know, somebody brought this up to me, and you
always explain this. You may ask for time, but it
may not always be granted exactly. And the second base
umpire never granted time to Fernando Tatist Junior. No, never
did the two most heads up players on the field
last night during that sequence of events, to me, where
Will Smith and Tommy.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Edmon Well In looking at the replay again, I didn't
understand it live and then looking at the replay, evidently
there were only two people there were last night fifty
one thousand, five hundred and fifty five plus you've got
twenty six players on both sides. Only two people in
the ballpark knew that time had been called by the
home plane umpire. That was a home plate umpire himself,
(27:09):
Ryan Blakeney and Will Smith, And I don't know how
audible it was the time out, but why on earth
are you stopping play because you want to put a
new baseball into play? To me, that was more he
tells us still a little hot.
Speaker 14 (27:25):
Well rightfully, so Rick, to me, that was more egregious
than anything we saw.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
There's another thing. There's another thing too, And I do
know the Major League Baseball it's a work in progress.
But the umpires are all miked. You know, they had
they had microphones with them. They can go ahead and
transmit communication back and forth to New York. They could
also make public announcements. Why do we still have fifty
five thousand people here not know what's going on as
(27:51):
far as what the umpires are doing on the field
when they are equipped to make the call correctly. If
people will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
it's the only major sport to where the officials do
not communicate with everyone and let them know what's going.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
On without a doubt.
Speaker 14 (28:06):
And that was supposed to be something that changed going
into the season.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Yeah, right, they do it in the NFL and the NAH.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Okay, so I'll get off this soapbox. But all in
all I thought last night was it was a very
good game. I think quite frankly, the series between these
two teams has been entertaining, to say the least, and
I expect that tonight. I'm really happy as you are
too for Image and Who's it's been a long road back,
and it's been since the twenty seventh of September twenty
(28:34):
twenty three since he was last on the mound. He's
worked hard. Really happy for him to be back on
the mountains.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Great guy, easy, gotta root for it.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
See very similar to you, David.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Rick.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
We'll leave it right there. We'll send it back to

Speaker 6 (30:02):
And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
from a Dodger player.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
This is high and tight.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
It's the Dodgers and Padres Round six, and we're joined
right now by Dodger third baseman Max Munsey, Max, thanks
a lot for the time. Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, sure, anytime.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
All right.
Speaker 14 (30:20):
So you hadn't seen the Padres all season long, and
now you're seeing them seven times within a week. How
much does that contribute to the playoff feel? And maybe
you know, obviously the intensity we've seen over the course
of the last week.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, you know, just like the whole last month, it's
kind of felt like that's been our stretch. We were
playing these teams back to back a bunch. You know,
you talk about the Mets and you some of these
other teams, we're seeing them a lot, and uh, you know,
just over the last couple of weeks, we've played a
lot of teams that are in first place, uh, you know,
fighting for first place right around there, and so it's
just been, uh, you know, it's been a tough couple
of weeks. And then we get these guys, like you said,
(30:56):
seven times in a week, and you know, it's always
a lot of energy in these games, and it's a
you know, it's been a fun atmosphere and you know,
thankfully the atmosphere has been what it what it's been. Otherwise,
you know, you know, with where we're at, right now,
I'd be a little tough to get through the games.
Speaker 14 (31:10):
What was playing in last night's game, like it did
feel like a playoff game, as you pointed out after
it was three and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, you know, we it was a national TV game.
We seem to be getting quite a lot of those recently.
And you know when the national TV games they go
to you know, three minutes in between innings instead of
just the two minutes, and it's it's crazy how much
just you know, it's eighteen minutes added on to the
game right there. And then you know, they just feel
so much longer. And you know, when you get used
(31:39):
to having the you know, the new rules with the
pitch clock and everything, the games just feel to go,
you know, so much faster. You feel in rhythm, you
don't feel like you sit around as much. And then
you get the TV games and you feel like you're
sitting around all the time all of a sudden, and
you know, it just it just it's a it makes
for a longer game.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
And last night was definitely.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
A really long game and you know, had a little
bit of everything involved in it.
Speaker 14 (32:00):
Yeah, including Showhyotani being hit by Randy Vasquez, were you
as surprised as a lot of us were to see
him take not just one shot, but two shots to
try to hit your star player.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, you know I had last night. I said, I
didn't think it was intentional. I just thought they were
trying to get fastballs in on them, And going back
and watching it, I might have a different opinion now,
but you know, it's over with. It is what it is.
We got another game today. Last night was last night.
It doesn't have any effect on today's game at all.
And so you know, that's how we've always approached things.
(32:34):
You know, all year long. Today's the only day that matters.
Nothing that happened previously matters at all, and nothing that's
going to happen tomorrow matters. And you know, we got
to get through today. We got to prepare for today,
to do whatever we have to do to make sure
we're prepared to go out there and win the game tonight.
Speaker 14 (32:47):
Max Munsey is our guest in front of first pitch
between the Dodgers and Padres. You alluded to the stretch
of the schedule. Max, how aware were you and your
teammates going into it, going back to the last time
you played the Diamondbacks. You're about to finish up a
twenty nine game stretch against playoff contenders.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
You know, a lot of us don't really pay attention
to the schedule other than you know, where are we
going on this upcoming road trip that kind of stuff.
And you know, I think we were sitting there one
of the games and on TV they showed what our
schedule was upcoming, and a lot of guys were like, well,
we got a gauntlet coming up, and you know, that's
basically all the comments that were made. It was just like, oh,
it's gonna be a tough stretch, but all right, here
(33:28):
we go. We gotta get through it. And you know,
every single game is tough. This is the major leagues.
There's not I know, there's teams that have bad records,
but there's no such thing as a bad team in
the major leagues. These are the best players in the world.
And on any given night, a pitcher can go out
there and you know, throw seven innings, you know, easy,
And on any given night, a pitcher can go out
there and not make it out of the first It's
you know, it's baseball. Things are gonna happen and you
(33:49):
just got to find a way to get through it all.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Max.
Speaker 14 (33:51):
I know everybody always focuses on offense, and you guys
are the best offense in baseball, but you personally, it
feels like the defense at third base only has become
more consistent. But you're starting to make plays that we
have seen you make the last.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Couple of years. So what do you attribute that to?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
One?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Hard work, getting on your every day me and Mookie,
me and Miggey Row and you know, just continually talking
about it. Getting knowledge about defense. I think that's a
huge thing instead of just you know, learning how you're
going about your work, what you're doing in your work,
making each repue take purposeful and not just you know,
Oh I'm going out there and I took thirty ground balls.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
I feel good.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
It's you know, how are you taking those thirty ground balls?
How are you to you know, what are you doing
to make those better? How are you preparing for it?
And then the other thing is just getting confidence, you know,
And that's something I've talked about a bunch, whether it's
on offense, defense, whether you're on the mound. You know,
if you don't have any confidence in yourself, it's hard
to compete in this game, and you know, sometimes all
it takes is one play to to swing that pendulum
(34:50):
the other way. And you know, for me, it's just
getting the confidence back in the defense. One of those
things where I've I don't know how many times I've
told you, I really feel like I can be a
good defender. I feel like I have the actions a
good defender. But you know, when you lose confidence, it's
it's hard to really go out there and do what
you've been practicing. And so for me, it's just getting
a little confidence back.
Speaker 14 (35:10):
It seems like you do have that confidence. It feels
like you're kind of not not just writing a swagger,
but kind of at piece with the way that you're
happy with your play.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, you can always get better, you know, it's baseball.
You can always you can always play better. But uh uh,
you know that's I think that's what makes this game
so loving and frustrating at the same time, is you
know you're never going to be perfect in this game,
even though you try to attain it every single day,
And you know, and that's that's the beauty of it,
and that's the things that's that's some of the things
that I've learned from my teammates over the years. When
(35:41):
you talk about the guys that I've played with, whether
it's Kershaw or Albert or you know, Matt Camp, all
these guys they play for, you know, all these years,
and all of them say there's always things you can
learn and always things you can get better at.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
And you know it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Every single day you can learn something new and you
can do something better, and you know that's that's the
end goal is to try to get as much knowledge
as you can and keep getting better every single day.
Speaker 14 (36:03):
Thanks a lot for the time, Max. Always love catching
up with you and keep it going.
Speaker 1 (36:07):

As the Dodgers continue this homestand with the boys in

game plan to protect their house. The same applies to
your home. Always have a plan and follow fire safety tips.
It's fireworks seasons, so make sure you're always practicing fireworks safety.
Use safe insane fireworks that displayed the California State Fire

only lit by adults. Please never use fireworks in your
dry grass or other flammable materials. For more about these
tips and to find out others, visit fire dot CA

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Dodgers and Padres.
Speaker 9 (38:53):
Game three of four between these two teams, and the
Dodgers trying to clinch this four game series and make
it five wins in a row right now. They enter
Wednesday with their largest division lead of the season, three
and a half games above the San Francisco Giants. We're
at home again tonight against Cleveland here at Dodger Stadium.
Rick Monday, It's the return of Emmett Sheehan. We saw
(39:13):
him a couple of years ago in twenty twenty three.
Miss all of last season. He was on the injury
list with a shoulder issue and then the elbow ultimately
led to Tommy John. He has worked his way back
and now he's got a chance to return to the
Major League Mountain.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
This is a special knight for the old man. Yeah,
and he's going to be able to fight control emotion.
I don't know how much he's going to fight, if
it may be some semblance of controllus been September twenty seventh,
twenty twenty three, the last time on the mount in
Major League Ballpark, and then that Tommy John surgery. So
Dave Roberts is saying, look, hopefully he'll be somewhere between
sixty and seventy pitches in today's game. But if we
(39:46):
look back to what he was able to do in
twenty three coming back up, you know, eleven starts in
a couple of relief appearances, he really developed into a
guy that not only running the fastball by some people,
but also that breaking stuff on top of it. He
did give up some home run. We'll find out what
happens on that end of it. But really happy for
Sheen because any pitcher that goes through it, you're wondering
first of all about your livelihood and your dreams. And
(40:08):
he fought through that, had wonderful surgery rehabs, and now
well the curtain goes up for Sheen.
Speaker 9 (40:14):
I spent some time with them Camel back in spring
training when obviously he was still very much in the
middle of the rehab process. He's put on a lot
of size. I mean, he was just inhaling protein when
we were chatting and he was isn't such a good spot.
And I think we want to take this moment to
remind people. And back in twenty twenty three, when Emmitt
Sheen came up talking to some people in the front office,
(40:35):
they said that Emmett Sheen's fastball was you could argue
was the best pitch in the entire organization. I mean,
you think about all the talent that they had even
two years ago. They've certainly added to it since then,
but just that one pitch. And so now obviously you're
coming off surgery, so things are going to change somewhat.
But that just speaks to the ability that he has
(40:57):
and I can't wait to watch Himah.
Speaker 6 (40:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:58):
I think the fastball, if we go back in the
memory bank, surprised a lot of hitters. It got on
him in a hurry, and it was something that's not
easy to hit on the flip side. Dodgers is going
to figure out Colick, who originally signed with the Dodgers
out of Texas and m and here's the young man.
If you look at him first inning, he's had problems
at three to zero three average ERA almost eight in
the first inning. The first pitch in the batt is
(41:21):
three eighty five. But once he gets settled into a ballgame,
he's been very, very difficult. In fact, he's not allowed
to earn run in four of his eight starts this year.
Speaker 9 (41:30):
It'll be Stephen Kolik, former Dodger draft pick, against Emmitt
she and another Dodger draft pick. She and the sixteenth
different starting pitcher to toe the rubber this season for
the Dodgers, the most in Major League Baseball, and he
is the ball trying to lead them to a series win. Timp,
we'll get it.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Back to you, all right, first Pitch'll we come back
and join everybody. It's been Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck
