(01:46):
was the law firm of Shehan and Robleski getting it
done for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Dodgers needed two pitchers last night to go the distance
and a win over the Padres. Emmett Sheen Welcome back,
young man. The twenty five year old miss the last
fourteen months. Tommy John Surgery hadn't pitched a September of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Back on the mound last night.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Four innings, one run, three hits, six strikeouts, sixty five
pitches up, you can get an RBI single. In the second,
Dodgers were down one nothing and it would rain that
way until the bottom of the fifth inning. Andy Paz
with a sack fly to center that scored Max mount See.
The Dodgers a beautiful job of manufacturing a run that
tied the game at won, and they weren't done. Later
(02:29):
in the inning, up came Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Dalton Rushing likes to command the strike zone. He hasn't
done it enough at the major league level yet.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Ahead three and one, the pitch swung on rip to.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
Right field, Well, get down headmen scores green light for
Hessun Kim, but go ahead two run, BA said.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
For Dulton Rushing.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
He breaks through.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
He huge hit for Dalton Rushing drives and a pair
in the fifth as the Dodgers take a.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Three to one lead. It would remain that way.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
With Justin Robleski taking over in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
He put up zeros in the ninth.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
It was still the Dodgers up three to one when
the Padres would get a couple of runs across to
tie the game at three. All right, So the bottom
of the ninth the Dodgers went. Will Smith did not
start the game for the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing got the start.
Hayes on Kim Spot the lineup came up for the
Dodgers in the bottom half of the ninth inning. Dave
(03:30):
Roberts went to Will Smith to win.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
It allowed and long strike for Sorez. Now the O
two pitch, Smith pushes a fly ball right center field.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Tatis on their own at the warning track, hit the wall. Gone,
It's gone and this game is over. Just got be
all to reach it for no No Tatis Junior. Will
Smith comes home. Then now we go home. They celebrate
(04:07):
in front of the play oh walk up home run
for Will Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The Dodgers win in.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
The ninth four to three.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Lokoffs are so much fun. Will Smith with the home
run to right center field. That is the top tier
play of the game, brought to by Arco quality, top
tier gas for less. How about Will Smith in this
season He's having get him to Atlanta for the All
Star Game, hitting three thirty three and nine to sixty
six ops eight home runs, now forty one runs batted
(04:35):
in thirty six runs scored in fifty nine games for.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The Dodgers this year.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
As the Dodgers beat the Padres again last night, the
final four to three, Dodgers now forty six and twenty
nine on this season, they've taken five or six already
from the San Diego Padres. They go for the four
game sweep tonight with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first
pitch at seven ten and with more out to the
Galpu Motors broadcast booth, as we welcome in Steven Nelson,
(05:03):
then Rick Monday.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Guys, all right, thank you tom Rick Monday, and I'm
back here at Dodgers Stadium for the series finale. The
Dodgers and Padres game four of four, and the Dodgers
have won the first three have a chance to finish
off a sweep or aka a mop against the Padres
and make it six consecutive wins. This team is on
(05:24):
a roll right now. Despite everything that has gone on
and all the roster turmoil in the injuries, they have
found a way to not only just survive this twenty
nine game stretch against teams with winning records, but.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Thrive, yep to thrive, and I think that's part of
the drive of good teams. You rise the occasion Dodgers
did last night the walk off pinch hit home run
by Will Smith, But that's the twenty seventh come from
behind victory. There's five more than any other team in
Major League Baseball, and I think that shows a couple
of things. He very talented team, but also some depth
(05:58):
for maneuvering with the roster of the position players there
have been is like, what's my line? Well, the mystery
guests signed in please as far as the pitching staff goes,
and that's another edition we see today. Yeat Momoto is
going to pitch and he needs to stretch it out
rebound from his last outing. But I think overall, if
you look at this Dodger record steven forty six wins
(06:20):
and twenty nine losses, and with the home crowd here
and boosting them along too, twenty eight and twelve is
their home record.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I think the biggest thing that has kind of come
to the surface in these recent weeks is just the
depth of the organization.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Just even if you look.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
At this series from a smaller window, the top of
the order last night, for example, the Dodgers didn't get
anything from their big trio hardly right and Otani, Betts
and Freeman. But the bottom of the order, you know
Max Munsey, who's turned his season around over the last month,
and you're getting contributions from rookies like Hessong Kim and
(06:59):
Dalton Rushing. Obviously the guys on the mountain we mentioned
she and Robleski. You know, it's not just looking to
the big guns every single night to win.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The ballgame, exactly. And you look at the pitching also,
because the game one of the series show Hey Otani
returns to the Dodgers as a starting pitcher, it was
estimated he only go one inning. That's exactly what he did.
Game two, Jack Dryer went two innings that was anticipated.
The bullpen had to cover last night, emaged Sheian, his
(07:28):
first start really since twenty twenty three. He comes on,
goes four innings. That was expected and very much appreciated
because he did not walk about him well, actually had
one walk that was issued. But if you look at
the bullpen, they have been day after day, night after night,
the big, big hug that has helped his ball club
stay in games and enabling the offense to come through
(07:51):
and score.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Yoshinova, Yamamoto, the Dodgers ace has a chance to pitch
them to a four game series sweep. It's been a
tough goal for Yamamoto and the Dodgers here in the
month of June, which has been really a tough to
fathom and comprehend given how excellent he was and has
been for the majority of this season. It'll be Yama
motive for the Dodgers, Bergert for the Padres. Game four
(08:15):
four on the way shortly.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
All right, thank you Nelly, as we count you down
to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day meal

four game Seiyoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount. Ryan Berger will
go for San Diego. First pitch at seven ten. This
is the Otani rewid shoe. Heotani last night oh for
four with the strikeouts. You go back to Tuesday night
where he was oh for four with four strikeouts. He
(09:28):
is hitless in his last two games. He did go
two for four, of course, with the double couple of
ribbies on a walk on Monday night in the win
over the Padres. Despite no hits in the last two
games from Shoho Tani, the Dodgers still victorious in those games.
They look for their six straight win overall in the
sweep tonight over San Diego.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.

and Padres finishing off this four game series, Garston Dodgers
going for the suite. But leading up to tonight's game,
(10:14):
a lot of fun happening on the field just a.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Little while ago.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Oh my goodness, there's so much that's happening at Dodger
Stadium today. So first, like, so it's Juneteenth and Mookie Bets,
it's Black Heritage Night here at Dodger Stadium and so on.
Mooki Bets is hosting the first Celebrities Softball game, and
I should tell you he is so excited about this.
So he is going to be coaching one of the teams.
We've got Matt Barnes who's coaching the other team. There
(10:38):
are so many celebrities. It's the positive about you know,
living in Los Angeles. They got Lil Wayne here. You know,
there are just so many people that have showed up,
of course to support Mookie Bets, to support the Dodgers
and to take part of this. So he's hoping that
it's going to be a yearly thing that we'll be
seeing here at Dodger Stadium on Juneteenth, or at least
on Black Heritage Night, So we'll see how it all
comes together. But he is so excited the play here
(11:00):
are so excited. I saw I ran into some people.
I see James Loan, He's going to be a part
of the game, and I was telling him. I was like, listen,
just don't embarrass us, James, Okay, go out there. You
are upsitting the Spectrum Sportsnet crew. You're representing the all
of the radio on the TV side.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Now, don't embarrass us.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
So hopefully you'll hit a home run for us and
show that you know the broadcasters.
Speaker 11 (11:18):
We still got this.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
We still a lot of fun on the field, a
lot of big names there at Dodger Stadium. Yoshi Nobu
Yamamoto on the mound. Last time we saw him Friday
night against the Giants. Pitched into the fifth inning but
gave up five runs, six hits, walked five, gave up
a pair of home runs and a loss. He's zero
and two with an ERA north of five in the
(11:40):
month of June. This is a get right game for Yoshi.
Speaker 10 (11:43):
Yeah, June has been a tough one for him and
even like you mentioned those walks in his last outing
and that was a career high for him. So it
things just he just felt like he kind of hasn't
had the stuff. Of course, the question has been asked about,
you know, just because now he's on that five days
rest rather than the sixth Dame that six days rest
that he's started with to start this season, so that
has been a big question. He said that he does
(12:04):
not believe just kind of the lack of results or
mechanics has led to that. We've talked about, you know,
just the run support that he hasn't necessarily been having
from the offense on his start dates, but for the
last one, some definitely some uncharacteristic things coming from him.
So the hope is today he can kind of just
get back on track. And Dave Roberts was very adamant
(12:25):
last night when he spoke to the media. He was
just like, he's just due, he's due for a really
strong outing. He's due to get back on track. So
hopefully today with against the Padres, he'd be able to
do just that, and then hopefully they'll be able to
pick up the sweep and you know, with the excitement
that's been going on, especially with all his pregame activities
and the softball game and stuff. Hopefully he can just
kind of carry that over into the game tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
No doubt, it'd be nice to get the win for
Yoshi and get the sweep of the San Diego Padres.
Kear's gonna be appreciate it. What check in with you
after the game?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Still to come?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck, we dive deeper
in to this pitching matchup. David Vat saying, goes, what
all what with just Roblusky? How big was he last
night teaming up with Imagan? But up next we'll get
you an injury report and we'll hear from Dalton Rush
he had a big hit last night for the Dodgers
and the win over the Padres. As we lead you
up the first pitch on this Thursday night, I'm Jim Kates.
Is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on dep on your home
for the blue all season loft.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
have the first pitch on this Thursday night is the
Dodgers and Padres. Dodgers first place at times the division,
going for the sweep over San Diego. They have dominated
the first six games already of this series, took two
of three at Petco Park last week, and they're off
to a good start so far in this four game set,
(13:49):
winning the first three games. Going into tonight, Morongo Casino
Resort and Spot. It's a grand Slam for good times.
First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It's the La Dodge injury report.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Is it about UCLA healthy? Official medical partner of the
Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin on the sixty day IL
now with the right elbow sowordness. That is not good news.
Tyler Glass now Blake Snell both working their way back.
Luis Garcia threw a sim game earlier in the week,
Blake trying it on the sixty day IL. He threw
a bullpen session earlier in the week as well. Rookie
Sasaki tried to work his way back from the right
(14:23):
shoulder impingement well. Last night, the Dodgers with a four
to three walk off win thanks to Dodger catcher Will Smith,
but earlier in the game Dalton rushing the other Dodger
catcher had a huge two runs single to give the
Dodgers the lead three to one. And talk to David
Vesse after we're.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Here at Dalton Rushing, who had a big night behind
the play, drove in two runs. What did you say
about your counterpart?
Speaker 12 (14:50):
Well, thank you branding it early, Will, Nobody wanted to
play extras. And there's one guy you trust going up
there in that situation as well.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And yeah, it was pretty full. You had a great
view you were on deck. How did you see that
at back going, especially after that fell ball down the
left field? Lie? Not gonna Lie? I was.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
I was about just as confused.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
As Will was.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
We thought Tatis caught it. I also thought he caught
it and then he just started walking. So yeah, it
all worked out. I mean, Will, he's such a great player.
It's fun to be able to see it at that close.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You had a big part of tonight's game. Let's go
back to the ninth inning. Freddie Freeman is able to
have the field awareness to realize the runner at third
Lockridge is breaking home. Were you surprised in that situation
he was coming home?
Speaker 12 (15:36):
No, I mean they're they're pressing the envelope. They're gonna
try to get a run across the board anyway possible.
Guy like Freddy just fundamentally sounds with the best of
him and obviously he's gonna make that play and take
the out at home.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
What could you say about what Emmett and Robleski did tonight.
Speaker 12 (15:52):
Yeah, it's massive being able to have those two guys
come out here and just essentially just do their job.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Do their job.
Speaker 12 (15:59):
They say, I have a bullpen and give us a
chance to obviously go ahead and sweep the weekend, sweep
the series tomorrow and moving into the weekend a better situation.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Hey, this is the way the Dodgers planned it, the
one two combo behind the plate tonight. Rush again, Will Smith,
thanks a lot for stopping.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Absolutely, thank you so much.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Yeah, what a great night for the Dodger catchers last night.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Will Smith at the walk off home run Dalton rushing
one for two with the two runs driven in also
on base via a walk. Is the Dodgers have now
won five in a row. Well, we continue here on
Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
We're gonna check in with David Vassay.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
You just heard from him.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Lead jump the first bitch Dodgers and the Padres. Tim
kas is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
As we were saying yes is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on
deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Dodgers and Padres is wearing off one more time in
this four game series. They met seven times over the
last eleven days. Yoshi Yoma Moto, Yoshihobu Yamamoto on the
mount first pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Joining Tim kits On Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Right, DV show Hey, o Tani. We find out he
is pitching on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
Sunday is going to be the day against the Washington Nationals,
and it'll be interesting to see how the Dodgers navigate
that Sunday. The whole point of all this is for
show Hey to get used to being a two way
player again. So any thoughts of him not being the
dh that day put them out of your mind, because
he is going to do both when he does pitch. Now,
(17:45):
it'll be interesting to see whether or not the Dodgers
want to take it a little extra careful and not
have him be in the starting lineup on Saturday night
against the lesser opponent that has lost eleven games, including
a couple to the Rockies before they come to town.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So he is going to pitch on Sunday.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
He will probably go two to three innings, and you
know he is pitch limit was at thirty in his
first start.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I could see it being moved.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Up a little bit to fifty at the most, but
I'm curious to see how they navigate the hitting part
of it.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
The night before, David is driven by the twenty twenty
five Ford f one to fifty from California's best selling truck.
It's time to see Ford in a new light, take
advantage of employee pricing. Through the end of June, David,
you look at this Dodgers lineup, and we talk about
the Big three, the Big four, the Big five.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Depending on how the lineup is looking.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
But the seven eight to nine hitters in this series
have been really good.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And that's been the difference in the Dodgers winning the
first three games and the Padres losing the first three games.
You look at the.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Dodgers seven eight nine hitters, they're batting a combined three
forty three and thirty two at bats with three home runs,
eight RBIs and nine runs scored. The Padres bottom third
of the order is just six for thirty two at
one eighty seven batting average. They've driven in only two
runs and have only scored four runs. So, with Otani
(19:11):
and Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman really not having a
big impact in driving in runs, that part of the
Dodger lineup has won these first three games offensively. And
then you add in Max Munsey as the six hitter,
it becomes a wider differential between the two teams.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Team of the Dodgers made it a roster move, and
the move is sending Ima Sheean down to add another arm.
But Imma she and last night four and he's one run,
three hits, six strikeouts, a lot of swing and misses,
sixty five pitches.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Did he do something wrong.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
But he is still coming back from Tommy Johns surgery.
He only had two three rehab assignments before the Dodgers
called him up to make the start last night, and
all three of those at Oklahoma City were not more
than three in So the Dodgers realize they need image
sheen for the rest of the year, and they understand
(20:05):
he's coming back from elbow surgery, so they feel like
it's prudent now with Otani starting to come back into
the rotation to be able to cool him off a
little bit, don't push him too hard on a major
league game and get him into that ramp up situation
in the minor leagues. And in case you're wondering what's
(20:25):
going on in the back round, Tim, the Mookie Bets
softball game just concluded. Matt Barnes, the former Bruin and Laker,
won the game for Team Mook with a walk off
home run.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So there you go. Matt Barnes is the hero. Like
Will Smith last night.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Leave it to a Bruin to always come through when
you need a victory, David, Isn't that for sure?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So all right? Coming up here?
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Well okay, well that's exactly what we're all thinking right now.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, maybe not all right?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And Rodney Pete and Holly Robinson actually the mcs here.
I feel like Rodney has warmed up as the game
went along.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Oh good for rod We'll see him tomorrow and hear
him tomorrow. Back on five seventy.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
L a sports breaking news coming up here on.

We go back to June the third, David twenty thirteen,
Dodgers taking on the Padres out of Dodger Stadium. The
Dodgers that night would get home runs from Adrian Gonzalez
in the first Scott Van Slike went deep in the
second inning. That night though the major league debut of
the young Cuban Yasio Puig, who went two for four
(22:31):
at the plate in the leadoff spot and ended the
game with a dramatic defensive play.
Speaker 13 (22:36):
To one one out in the ninth pitch, couplanks the
runner goes fly ball right field when he gets back
at the wall and he makes the catch. Now a
throwback to first base and is in a double play
in the game.
Speaker 14 (22:48):
Gay, Yes, it is an unbelievable way to end the game.
Which flash to right Quig against the wall. The runner
to Norfia was going and we throws up to Norfia
at first base.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
But double play to end the game.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Oh baby, just the old nine to three double play
from Yasio Puig catching the ball and right and then
doubling it up Christa Norfia at first to end the game.
Dodgers win a two to one as Ya L. Puig,
the young Cuban, makes his major league debut on that

Speaker 5 (24:29):
And now joined by David Massey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
All right, it's time for number sixteen. Rick Monday. How
you doing, Rick.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'm doing well. You've got that big grin on your face.
Let me tell you something. Let me head you off
at the past, okay, because I know it's not the
end of a box canyon you're going to. You're gonna
bring up Will Smith's home run last night, right, that's right? Yeah,
wearing the right number? Am I correct? That's right because
I happened hearing you last night, and I mean an
illegal change when I heard that, because I had no idea,
and obviously somebody had to blow the dust off the
(25:05):
archives and open up that book and be able to
check it.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Yeah, that's usually Sarah Lange's at Major League Baseball. She
usually dusts off all the old books.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But it's true.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Will Smith's pinchhit, walk off home run broke the Dodger
franchise record, which he was tied with another number sixteen.
And that's you, Rick Monday.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, I had no idea that was the case. I'll
tell you what. Will Smith is having the type of
season that you look at. He's doing everything including coming
up with big Bays hits. He's in there again tonight.
At the pinch hit last night, I thought was amazing.
A couple of different things. First of all, he comes
off the bench and it's an two count and he
(25:46):
hit the ball. I didn't think he really squared it
up on the solid part of the bat. I thought
it was out towards the end of the bat. And
the reason I bring that up is that the amount
of carrie that that ball had hitting it off the
end of the bat is really amazing. And I do
know that I've not seen him myself, but I hear
that on the golf course, Will Smith can absolutely crush
(26:08):
the golf ball off the te box.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
And I guess in the last two games where he
got the two big hits, he was basically just putting
the barrel on the bat, dropping it down on the baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
The other part, too, is being able to make good contact.
It doesn't matter where the ball is hit the home
run was hit. I did not think that Tatis had
a good route at all on the baseball. I don't
know if it would have made a difference or not.
I also made an illegal lean change when I heard
you say you thought that he had some hop in him,
(26:40):
but that didn't happen because he did not get And
we're talking about Tatis did not get back to the
defense early enough in order to really collect himself and
make the leap up to maybe catch that ball, because
I thought there was a chance, I was a chance
that ball could have been caught.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Well, going back to the clutch sixteen are clutch sixteen,
Rick Monday, I'm going to give you a little trivia question.
Do you remember your two pinch hit walk off home
runs with the Dodgers?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
No?
Speaker 9 (27:06):
All right, Let's see if this rings about nineteen eighty
against the Reds here at Dodgers Stadium against Doug Bear.
Remember that guy.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, I remember him, a fastball, curve ball, and I
think I maybe hit a curveball off of Doug Bear.
Right ended pitcher, good pitcher, through hard.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
All right, here's your other one. Nineteen eighty one, a
special year for you, Rick. It was May twentieth against
the Phillies here at Dodgers Stadium, and you loved hitting
against the Phillies. Your second walk off home run as
a pinch hitter against Tug McGraw.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Against Tug, I believe I also hit one off of
Tug during.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
A game in Philadelphia in the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
On was was coming into the game. It was not
a walk off, but I remember that Tommy asked me
to come on and pinch hit, even though Tug McGraw
is on the mount in Monty Basca, who's the bench
coastays well it's a lefty, and Tommy says, I don't care,
it doesn't matter, and I wound up the hitting. Thanks
for the trip back and the memory lane.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
I'm curious You've had a lot of great things happen
in your baseball life. When you hear your name linked
and a player breaking a record like that, and I
mentioned those games, does is there anything in your mind's
eye that can remember those things?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Sometimes not all the time, not all the time at all.
There are special moments, but I think more group moments.
When you say nineteen eighty one, I think of the team,
and you know, I wear this World Championship ring from
nineteen eighty one every day. I don't have to be
reminded as it. Oh, by the way, you happen to
do that. I look at it from the big picture.
You know, the twenty five players, the teammates. You look
(28:46):
at Tom to the sort, you look at the coaching staff,
you look at the front office, you look at the
scouting and then the fans that were there for me.
It's kind of a celebration of Memory Lane and going
back in there. But I like celebrating with those that
I was surrounded with and we accomplished something instead of
standing on a podium and say, Okay, look at this,
(29:07):
look at this medal, and what wish. There's nothing wrong
with winning the medal, but I prefer team team victories.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
We actually talked about that the other day. Your Dodger
teams were never individualized.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
It was always a group.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, exactly, And that's what you have to do the
game of baseball. Teams win, you know. Tim Lasorda had
this saying, individuals win awards, Teams win championships.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Nineteen eighty one a special team championship.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Rick, you're our number sixteen. Okay, we'll check back in
with you a little bit late.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Books back into the archives and then lock yeah, lock
it up. I probably found him somewhere in a cave.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, we did. It was uh, it was BC
when I founded.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, written in stone.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Well, set it back here in the studio.
Speaker 6 (29:52):

champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (30:21):

from a Dodger player.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
This is high and tight.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
It was a win for the Dodgers last night in
more ways than one. The Dodgers walk off thanks to
Will Smith, but also did not have to dip into
that bullpen thanks to Emit Sheen and our guest Justin Robleski.
Thanks a lot for the time, Justin appreciate it. And
there's Emmit Sheen right on.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Cute thank you.
Speaker 15 (31:34):
David's up.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
Hey, how was that feeling last night? Just rewarding not
only in winning the game, but also helping your bullpen out.
Speaker 15 (31:42):
Yeah, obviously it's you know, it's always great to help
the bullpen. And you know, like I said before, going
out there and saving the bullpen is kind of my job,
regardless of where my role is right now. So that's
kind of what I want to go out there and
do every time.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
The last time we've seen you the last two times out,
including last night, it just seems like you're pitching with
a lot more conviction. Are we seeing that?
Speaker 15 (32:02):
Yeah? For sure. I think I'm just kind of dipping
back into who I am as a pitcher and just
kind of I think that comes with, you know, comfortability
and being up here. So I think it's it's been
great and I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Who is that? Who are you as a pitcher?
Speaker 15 (32:15):
I think I'm just I'm the guy that's gonna go
out there and fill the strike zone and then you know,
let my stuff play and see where it takes me.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
What was working so well last night?
Speaker 15 (32:23):
I think we were doing a pretty decent job of
getting ahead and counts. I think I still could have
done a little bit better first pitch strikes, but I
was doing a good job if I didn't get the
first pitch strike, kind of getting back in the count,
getting two of the first three in there, and you know,
when you have guys on their heels, it's just tougher
for them to hit. So I think that's what I
was doing a good job of.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
I guess we could get into all the science of pitching,
but it really does come down to making your job
easier by getting ahead early.
Speaker 15 (32:50):
That's true. That's that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
I know, right everybody wants to break down your pitching mechanics,
but getting ahead in the count strike one is vital
to anybody. I sometimes count how many pitches a pitcher
will throw behind in the count, and you can see
the difference how it works and how you get yourself
into trouble when you don't throw strike.
Speaker 15 (33:13):
One, for sure. I think it's just, you know, guys
up here are obviously very, very skilled, best hitters in
the world, so when you get behind in the count,
it kind of frees them out to take their their
best swings, and that's where you get into trouble.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Justin Robleski is our guest. I'm still amazed by how
many of you young guys can adapt from being a
starting pitcher to being a guy to come in in
bulk innings or close out games. What is it about
the culture in the minor leagues that allows you guys
to be so nimble.
Speaker 15 (33:42):
I think it's just we have a lot of guys
with with pretty high character and kind of are willing
to do whatever it takes to win, and especially you know,
we understand that when we come up here, like what
our role is and where we fit in. I think
you know, everybody understands that regardless of where you're at,
the and the goals of what you're trying to do
out there is the same, and no matter where you are,
(34:04):
it's it's the same. You're just trying to get ahead
and counts, you're trying to save the bullpen. You're just
trying to go out there and do your thing. And
I think you know, just focusing on the process more
than you know necessarily what the results are or where
you're pitching from.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
When the game is rolling on like it was last night,
how do you treat the preparation? Are you trying to
put your head where it would be at seven ten?
Speaker 15 (34:26):
I think for me it's just you know, treating it
similar to a start. Obviously there's there's some things that
you can't quite prepare for, but you know, for me,
it's like I'm going to come in after che'sy and
you know, whatever whatever we do like whenever that is like,
just be ready for it. And you know you have
an idea and Bartow and all them are very good about,
you know, telling you you know kind of what the
(34:48):
plan is going into the game, and then you just
kind of roll and adap with it.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Hey, I love that nickname, cheesy for image shean.
Speaker 15 (34:54):
Of course, of course you got to.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Give him some spice. That's why he's the man.
Speaker 15 (34:58):
He's the man.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
How good was it to see him back out there?
Speaker 13 (35:02):
Oh?
Speaker 15 (35:02):
Yeah, man, it's it's awesome. You know, I kind of
I had had TJ as well, so I kind of
know what it takes. And you know, especially you know,
for him having it, you know, while being in the
big leagues, I'm sure it was a little tougher and
you know, really really awesome to see him do his
thing last night. He's got electric stuff. He's a great dude,
so it was super super happy for him.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
Justin Robleski is our guest in front of first pitch
between the Dodgers and Padres as the Dodgers looked for
the four game sweep. Also another dynamic last night was
your catcher Dalton Rushing. How comfortable were you seeing him
behind the plate, even at this level.
Speaker 15 (35:35):
Yeah, it's great. It's great to see Dalton back there.
And obviously I've thrown him a bunch of the minor leagues.
So just kind of having the chance to throw to
him is great. You know, whether whether it's him or will,
I trust both of them back there. So it was
it was cool to throw to him and go to
see him get that big hit last night.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
What fancy nickname does Dalton Rushing have in Oklahoma City?
Speaker 15 (35:54):
Just rush, just rush. Yeah, that's all that's all we
got for him. But he doesn't need it. He doesn't
need a crazy.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
One, all right about Robleski? Just Robo, just Robo.
Speaker 15 (36:02):
That's been it forever.
Speaker 3 (36:03):

to maintain.

Ryan Bergert on the mound one to know with a two.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Thirty three ERA, twenty five year old rookie right hander,
sixth round pick out of West Virginia in twenty twenty one.
He fell in the draft because he didn't even pitch
that year. In twenty twenty one at West Virginia. He
was recovering from Tommy John surgery, so he fell in
the draft. Fastball fifty percent of the time, followed by
a slider and a sweeper. Making his fourth start, eight appearance,
He's been inserted into the rotation after being out of
(37:59):
the bullpen last three starts at least five innings in each.
Last time out five innings, three runs, three hits, eight
strikeouts in a no decision against the Diamondbacks. Yoshinobu Yamamoto
on the mound for the Dodgers, six and five with
a two to sixty four ERA, making this fourteen start,
looking to bounce back after his last outing against the
Giants on Friday, four and two, thirty five runs, six hits,
five walks in a loss. This is his third regular
(38:21):
season appearance against San Diego. Yoshinobu Yama Moto, Ryan Berger
at the pitching matchup Dodgers Padres for fifteen minutes away
from first pitch.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Key's in the game, our next, I'm Tim kase is.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
The world champion Los Angeles Dodgers. All you know where?
Speaker 5 (38:35):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers.

Dodgers and Padres wrapping up this four game series. Dodgers
going for the sweep. Everton won three straights. It took
two to three in San Diego last week in this
season series, first pitch coming up at seven to ten.
When the Boys in Blue play at home, it's important
they have the right plan to protect their house, and
they've done a great job of that here on this
homestand the same applies to your home. Always have a
(39:07):
plan and always follow fire safety tips. It's fireworks season,
so make sure you're practicing fireworks safety. Use safe insane
fireworks that display the California State Fire Marshall Seal. Always
read the directions and the sure fireworks are only lit
by adults. For more information these tips and to find
out others, visit fire dot CA dot GB. All right,
Back out to the booth, Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, guys, All.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Right TC hanging out with Rick Monday one more time
as we prep for first pitch in the series finale,
the Dodgers trying to knock the Padres back down to
San Diego on a four game sweep. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will
take the ball for LA in this one mo and
the Dodgers have lost all three of his turns here
in the month of June is era north of five
(39:50):
and a half. So what do you make of this
little June swoon for Yamamoto?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Actually, going back and looking at some numbers, has actually
been more than June. Back to April, the four starts
batting average against was one p eighty one. If we
look at the five starts in the month of May
while he was three and one, the batting average actually
went down only one forty six, but two ninety three
so far in June in the three starts that he's had,
even though overall just a one ninety five batting average
(40:19):
against him I think consistency more than anything else, and
that split finger fastball was not really dialed in particularly
well his last outing.
Speaker 7 (40:28):
So what are some other things that you're keeping an
eye out for tonight as the Dodgers try and finish
off the.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Sueek Well, I think how they're going to work to
Ryan Berger at the right hander a six round pick
by the pandres if you look back to twenty twenty one,
but his reverse splits are really kind of eye opening
because right handers have done pretty good job against him,
but lefties only three hits in thirty two at bats
against the right handed pitcher with no extra base hits.
Now the question is going to be how does he
(40:54):
work the lineup here and there? And for Burger, this
is his four start, four relief appearances. But he's a
guy that's had to be pushed into the starting rotation
because of injuries in the starting staff for the Preas.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
The Dodgers are going to elevate last night's walk off hero,
Will Smith to the three spot, just the latest clutch
number sixteen to wear a Dodger uniform, following Andre Ether
and oh gosh, what's his name?
Speaker 2 (41:20):
It's not Tuesday it's Monday. Don't leave out Paula Duca.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I wouldn't dare leave out Paula Luduca.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
But the reason why not just because Smith is leading
the National League in batting average TIM. It's because you
look at left handed batters this year against Berger, they're
just three for thirty two, no extra base hits. So
after the LEFTI O tiny, it'll be a right righty
in Betts, alrighty in Smith, and then Freddy Freeman will clean.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Up Game four.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Four.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
Can't wait for the start, it's coming up shortly.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Dodgers needed two pitchers last night to go the distance
and a win over the Padres. Emmett Sheen Welcome back,
young man. The twenty five year old miss the last
fourteen months. Tommy John Surgery hadn't pitched a September of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Back on the mound last night.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Four innings, one run, three hits, six strikeouts, sixty five
pitches up, you can get an RBI single. In the second,
Dodgers were down one nothing and it would rain that
way until the bottom of the fifth inning. Andy Paz
with a sack fly to center that scored Max mount See.
The Dodgers a beautiful job of manufacturing a run that
tied the game at won, and they weren't done. Later
(02:29):
in the inning, up came Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Dalton Rushing likes to command the strike zone. He hasn't
done it enough at the major league level yet.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Ahead three and one, the pitch swung on rip to.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
Right field, Well, get down headmen scores green light for
Hessun Kim, but go ahead two run, BA said.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
For Dulton Rushing.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
He breaks through.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
He huge hit for Dalton Rushing drives and a pair
in the fifth as the Dodgers take a.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Three to one lead. It would remain that way.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
With Justin Robleski taking over in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
He put up zeros in the ninth.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
It was still the Dodgers up three to one when
the Padres would get a couple of runs across to
tie the game at three. All right, So the bottom
of the ninth the Dodgers went. Will Smith did not
start the game for the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing got the start.
Hayes on Kim Spot the lineup came up for the
Dodgers in the bottom half of the ninth inning. Dave
(03:30):
Roberts went to Will Smith to win.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
It allowed and long strike for Sorez. Now the O
two pitch, Smith pushes a fly ball right center field.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Tatis on their own at the warning track, hit the wall. Gone,
It's gone and this game is over. Just got be
all to reach it for no No Tatis Junior. Will
Smith comes home. Then now we go home. They celebrate
(04:07):
in front of the play oh walk up home run
for Will Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The Dodgers win in.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
The ninth four to three.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Lokoffs are so much fun. Will Smith with the home
run to right center field. That is the top tier
play of the game, brought to by Arco quality, top
tier gas for less. How about Will Smith in this
season He's having get him to Atlanta for the All
Star Game, hitting three thirty three and nine to sixty
six ops eight home runs, now forty one runs batted
(04:35):
in thirty six runs scored in fifty nine games for.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The Dodgers this year.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
As the Dodgers beat the Padres again last night, the
final four to three, Dodgers now forty six and twenty
nine on this season, they've taken five or six already
from the San Diego Padres. They go for the four
game sweep tonight with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first
pitch at seven ten and with more out to the
Galpu Motors broadcast booth, as we welcome in Steven Nelson,
(05:03):
then Rick Monday.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Guys, all right, thank you tom Rick Monday, and I'm
back here at Dodgers Stadium for the series finale. The
Dodgers and Padres game four of four, and the Dodgers
have won the first three have a chance to finish
off a sweep or aka a mop against the Padres
and make it six consecutive wins. This team is on
(05:24):
a roll right now. Despite everything that has gone on
and all the roster turmoil in the injuries, they have
found a way to not only just survive this twenty
nine game stretch against teams with winning records, but.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Thrive, yep to thrive, and I think that's part of
the drive of good teams. You rise the occasion Dodgers
did last night the walk off pinch hit home run
by Will Smith, But that's the twenty seventh come from
behind victory. There's five more than any other team in
Major League Baseball, and I think that shows a couple
of things. He very talented team, but also some depth
(05:58):
for maneuvering with the roster of the position players there
have been is like, what's my line? Well, the mystery
guests signed in please as far as the pitching staff goes,
and that's another edition we see today. Yeat Momoto is
going to pitch and he needs to stretch it out
rebound from his last outing. But I think overall, if
you look at this Dodger record steven forty six wins
(06:20):
and twenty nine losses, and with the home crowd here
and boosting them along too, twenty eight and twelve is
their home record.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I think the biggest thing that has kind of come
to the surface in these recent weeks is just the
depth of the organization.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Just even if you look.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
At this series from a smaller window, the top of
the order last night, for example, the Dodgers didn't get
anything from their big trio hardly right and Otani, Betts
and Freeman. But the bottom of the order, you know
Max Munsey, who's turned his season around over the last month,
and you're getting contributions from rookies like Hessong Kim and
(06:59):
Dalton Rushing. Obviously the guys on the mountain we mentioned
she and Robleski. You know, it's not just looking to
the big guns every single night to win.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The ballgame, exactly. And you look at the pitching also,
because the game one of the series show Hey Otani
returns to the Dodgers as a starting pitcher, it was
estimated he only go one inning. That's exactly what he did.
Game two, Jack Dryer went two innings that was anticipated.
The bullpen had to cover last night, emaged Sheian, his
(07:28):
first start really since twenty twenty three. He comes on,
goes four innings. That was expected and very much appreciated
because he did not walk about him well, actually had
one walk that was issued. But if you look at
the bullpen, they have been day after day, night after night,
the big, big hug that has helped his ball club
stay in games and enabling the offense to come through
(07:51):
and score.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Yoshinova, Yamamoto, the Dodgers ace has a chance to pitch
them to a four game series sweep. It's been a
tough goal for Yamamoto and the Dodgers here in the
month of June, which has been really a tough to
fathom and comprehend given how excellent he was and has
been for the majority of this season. It'll be Yama
motive for the Dodgers, Bergert for the Padres. Game four
(08:15):
four on the way shortly.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
All right, thank you Nelly, as we count you down

is the Otani rewid shoe. Heotani last night oh for
four with the strikeouts. You go back to Tuesday night
where he was oh for four with four strikeouts. He
(09:28):
is hitless in his last two games. He did go
two for four, of course, with the double couple of
ribbies on a walk on Monday night in the win
over the Padres. Despite no hits in the last two
games from Shoho Tani, the Dodgers still victorious in those games.
They look for their six straight win overall in the
sweep tonight over San Diego.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.

and Padres finishing off this four game series, Garston Dodgers
going for the suite. But leading up to tonight's game,
(10:14):
a lot of fun happening on the field just a.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Little while ago.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Oh my goodness, there's so much that's happening at Dodger
Stadium today. So first, like, so it's Juneteenth and Mookie Bets,
it's Black Heritage Night here at Dodger Stadium and so on.
Mooki Bets is hosting the first Celebrities Softball game, and
I should tell you he is so excited about this.
So he is going to be coaching one of the teams.
We've got Matt Barnes who's coaching the other team. There
(10:38):
are so many celebrities. It's the positive about you know,
living in Los Angeles. They got Lil Wayne here. You know,
there are just so many people that have showed up,
of course to support Mookie Bets, to support the Dodgers
and to take part of this. So he's hoping that
it's going to be a yearly thing that we'll be
seeing here at Dodger Stadium on Juneteenth, or at least
on Black Heritage Night, So we'll see how it all
comes together. But he is so excited the play here
(11:00):
are so excited. I saw I ran into some people.
I see James Loan, He's going to be a part
of the game, and I was telling him. I was like, listen,
just don't embarrass us, James, Okay, go out there. You
are upsitting the Spectrum Sportsnet crew. You're representing the all
of the radio on the TV side.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Now, don't embarrass us.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
So hopefully you'll hit a home run for us and
show that you know the broadcasters.
Speaker 11 (11:18):
We still got this.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
We still a lot of fun on the field, a
lot of big names there at Dodger Stadium. Yoshi Nobu
Yamamoto on the mound. Last time we saw him Friday
night against the Giants. Pitched into the fifth inning but
gave up five runs, six hits, walked five, gave up
a pair of home runs and a loss. He's zero
and two with an ERA north of five in the
(11:40):
month of June. This is a get right game for Yoshi.
Speaker 10 (11:43):
Yeah, June has been a tough one for him and
even like you mentioned those walks in his last outing
and that was a career high for him. So it
things just he just felt like he kind of hasn't
had the stuff. Of course, the question has been asked about,
you know, just because now he's on that five days
rest rather than the sixth Dame that six days rest
that he's started with to start this season, so that
has been a big question. He said that he does
(12:04):
not believe just kind of the lack of results or
mechanics has led to that. We've talked about, you know,
just the run support that he hasn't necessarily been having
from the offense on his start dates, but for the
last one, some definitely some uncharacteristic things coming from him.
So the hope is today he can kind of just
get back on track. And Dave Roberts was very adamant
(12:25):
last night when he spoke to the media. He was
just like, he's just due, he's due for a really
strong outing. He's due to get back on track. So
hopefully today with against the Padres, he'd be able to
do just that, and then hopefully they'll be able to
pick up the sweep and you know, with the excitement
that's been going on, especially with all his pregame activities
and the softball game and stuff. Hopefully he can just
kind of carry that over into the game tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
No doubt, it'd be nice to get the win for
Yoshi and get the sweep of the San Diego Padres.
Kear's gonna be appreciate it. What check in with you
after the game?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Still to come?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck, we dive deeper
in to this pitching matchup. David Vat saying, goes, what
all what with just Roblusky? How big was he last
night teaming up with Imagan? But up next we'll get
you an injury report and we'll hear from Dalton Rush
he had a big hit last night for the Dodgers
and the win over the Padres. As we lead you
up the first pitch on this Thursday night, I'm Jim Kates.
Is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on dep on your home
for the blue all season loft.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
have the first pitch on this Thursday night is the
Dodgers and Padres. Dodgers first place at times the division,
going for the sweep over San Diego. They have dominated
the first six games already of this series, took two
of three at Petco Park last week, and they're off
to a good start so far in this four game set,
(13:49):
winning the first three games. Going into tonight, Morongo Casino
Resort and Spot. It's a grand Slam for good times.
First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It's the La Dodge injury report.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Is it about UCLA healthy? Official medical partner of the
Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin on the sixty day IL
now with the right elbow sowordness. That is not good news.
Tyler Glass now Blake Snell both working their way back.
Luis Garcia threw a sim game earlier in the week,
Blake trying it on the sixty day IL. He threw
a bullpen session earlier in the week as well. Rookie
Sasaki tried to work his way back from the right
(14:23):
shoulder impingement well. Last night, the Dodgers with a four
to three walk off win thanks to Dodger catcher Will Smith,
but earlier in the game Dalton rushing the other Dodger
catcher had a huge two runs single to give the
Dodgers the lead three to one. And talk to David
Vesse after we're.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Here at Dalton Rushing, who had a big night behind
the play, drove in two runs. What did you say
about your counterpart?
Speaker 12 (14:50):
Well, thank you branding it early, Will, Nobody wanted to
play extras. And there's one guy you trust going up
there in that situation as well.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And yeah, it was pretty full. You had a great
view you were on deck. How did you see that
at back going, especially after that fell ball down the
left field? Lie? Not gonna Lie? I was.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
I was about just as confused.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
As Will was.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
We thought Tatis caught it. I also thought he caught
it and then he just started walking. So yeah, it
all worked out. I mean, Will, he's such a great player.
It's fun to be able to see it at that close.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You had a big part of tonight's game. Let's go
back to the ninth inning. Freddie Freeman is able to
have the field awareness to realize the runner at third
Lockridge is breaking home. Were you surprised in that situation
he was coming home?
Speaker 12 (15:36):
No, I mean they're they're pressing the envelope. They're gonna
try to get a run across the board anyway possible.
Guy like Freddy just fundamentally sounds with the best of
him and obviously he's gonna make that play and take
the out at home.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
What could you say about what Emmett and Robleski did tonight.
Speaker 12 (15:52):
Yeah, it's massive being able to have those two guys
come out here and just essentially just do their job.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Do their job.
Speaker 12 (15:59):
They say, I have a bullpen and give us a
chance to obviously go ahead and sweep the weekend, sweep
the series tomorrow and moving into the weekend a better situation.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Hey, this is the way the Dodgers planned it, the
one two combo behind the plate tonight. Rush again, Will Smith,
thanks a lot for stopping.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Absolutely, thank you so much.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Yeah, what a great night for the Dodger catchers last night.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Will Smith at the walk off home run Dalton rushing
one for two with the two runs driven in also
on base via a walk. Is the Dodgers have now
won five in a row. Well, we continue here on
Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
We're gonna check in with David Vassay.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
You just heard from him.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Lead jump the first bitch Dodgers and the Padres. Tim
kas is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
As we were saying yes is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on
deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Dodgers and Padres is wearing off one more time in
this four game series. They met seven times over the
last eleven days. Yoshi Yoma Moto, Yoshihobu Yamamoto on the
mount first pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Joining Tim kits On Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Right, DV show Hey, o Tani. We find out he
is pitching on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
Sunday is going to be the day against the Washington Nationals,
and it'll be interesting to see how the Dodgers navigate
that Sunday. The whole point of all this is for
show Hey to get used to being a two way
player again. So any thoughts of him not being the
dh that day put them out of your mind, because
he is going to do both when he does pitch. Now,
(17:45):
it'll be interesting to see whether or not the Dodgers
want to take it a little extra careful and not
have him be in the starting lineup on Saturday night
against the lesser opponent that has lost eleven games, including
a couple to the Rockies before they come to town.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So he is going to pitch on Sunday.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
He will probably go two to three innings, and you
know he is pitch limit was at thirty in his
first start.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I could see it being moved.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Up a little bit to fifty at the most, but
I'm curious to see how they navigate the hitting part
of it.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
The night before, David is driven by the twenty twenty
five Ford f one to fifty from California's best selling truck.
It's time to see Ford in a new light, take
advantage of employee pricing. Through the end of June, David,
you look at this Dodgers lineup, and we talk about
the Big three, the Big four, the Big five.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Depending on how the lineup is looking.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
But the seven eight to nine hitters in this series
have been really good.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And that's been the difference in the Dodgers winning the
first three games and the Padres losing the first three games.
You look at the.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Dodgers seven eight nine hitters, they're batting a combined three
forty three and thirty two at bats with three home runs,
eight RBIs and nine runs scored. The Padres bottom third
of the order is just six for thirty two at
one eighty seven batting average. They've driven in only two
runs and have only scored four runs. So, with Otani
(19:11):
and Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman really not having a
big impact in driving in runs, that part of the
Dodger lineup has won these first three games offensively. And
then you add in Max Munsey as the six hitter,
it becomes a wider differential between the two teams.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Team of the Dodgers made it a roster move, and
the move is sending Ima Sheean down to add another arm.
But Imma she and last night four and he's one run,
three hits, six strikeouts, a lot of swing and misses,
sixty five pitches.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Did he do something wrong.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
But he is still coming back from Tommy Johns surgery.
He only had two three rehab assignments before the Dodgers
called him up to make the start last night, and
all three of those at Oklahoma City were not more
than three in So the Dodgers realize they need image
sheen for the rest of the year, and they understand
(20:05):
he's coming back from elbow surgery, so they feel like
it's prudent now with Otani starting to come back into
the rotation to be able to cool him off a
little bit, don't push him too hard on a major
league game and get him into that ramp up situation
in the minor leagues. And in case you're wondering what's
(20:25):
going on in the back round, Tim, the Mookie Bets
softball game just concluded. Matt Barnes, the former Bruin and Laker,
won the game for Team Mook with a walk off
home run.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So there you go. Matt Barnes is the hero. Like
Will Smith last night.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Leave it to a Bruin to always come through when
you need a victory, David, Isn't that for sure?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So all right? Coming up here?
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Well okay, well that's exactly what we're all thinking right now.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, maybe not all right?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And Rodney Pete and Holly Robinson actually the mcs here.
I feel like Rodney has warmed up as the game
went along.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Oh good for rod We'll see him tomorrow and hear
him tomorrow. Back on five seventy.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
L a sports breaking news coming up here on.

We go back to June the third, David twenty thirteen,
Dodgers taking on the Padres out of Dodger Stadium. The
Dodgers that night would get home runs from Adrian Gonzalez
in the first Scott Van Slike went deep in the
second inning. That night though the major league debut of
the young Cuban Yasio Puig, who went two for four
(22:31):
at the plate in the leadoff spot and ended the
game with a dramatic defensive play.
Speaker 13 (22:36):
To one one out in the ninth pitch, couplanks the
runner goes fly ball right field when he gets back
at the wall and he makes the catch. Now a
throwback to first base and is in a double play
in the game.
Speaker 14 (22:48):
Gay, Yes, it is an unbelievable way to end the game.
Which flash to right Quig against the wall. The runner
to Norfia was going and we throws up to Norfia
at first base.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
But double play to end the game.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
And now joined by David Massey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
All right, it's time for number sixteen. Rick Monday. How
you doing, Rick.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'm doing well. You've got that big grin on your face.
Let me tell you something. Let me head you off
at the past, okay, because I know it's not the
end of a box canyon you're going to. You're gonna
bring up Will Smith's home run last night, right, that's right? Yeah,
wearing the right number? Am I correct? That's right because
I happened hearing you last night, and I mean an
illegal change when I heard that, because I had no idea,
and obviously somebody had to blow the dust off the
(25:05):
archives and open up that book and be able to
check it.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Yeah, that's usually Sarah Lange's at Major League Baseball. She
usually dusts off all the old books.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But it's true.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Will Smith's pinchhit, walk off home run broke the Dodger
franchise record, which he was tied with another number sixteen.
And that's you, Rick Monday.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, I had no idea that was the case. I'll
tell you what. Will Smith is having the type of
season that you look at. He's doing everything including coming
up with big Bays hits. He's in there again tonight.
At the pinch hit last night, I thought was amazing.
A couple of different things. First of all, he comes
off the bench and it's an two count and he
(25:46):
hit the ball. I didn't think he really squared it
up on the solid part of the bat. I thought
it was out towards the end of the bat. And
the reason I bring that up is that the amount
of carrie that that ball had hitting it off the
end of the bat is really amazing. And I do
know that I've not seen him myself, but I hear
that on the golf course, Will Smith can absolutely crush
(26:08):
the golf ball off the te box.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
And I guess in the last two games where he
got the two big hits, he was basically just putting
the barrel on the bat, dropping it down on the baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
The other part, too, is being able to make good contact.
It doesn't matter where the ball is hit the home
run was hit. I did not think that Tatis had
a good route at all on the baseball. I don't
know if it would have made a difference or not.
I also made an illegal lean change when I heard
you say you thought that he had some hop in him,
(26:40):
but that didn't happen because he did not get And
we're talking about Tatis did not get back to the
defense early enough in order to really collect himself and
make the leap up to maybe catch that ball, because
I thought there was a chance, I was a chance
that ball could have been caught.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Well, going back to the clutch sixteen are clutch sixteen,
Rick Monday, I'm going to give you a little trivia question.
Do you remember your two pinch hit walk off home
runs with the Dodgers?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
No?
Speaker 9 (27:06):
All right, Let's see if this rings about nineteen eighty
against the Reds here at Dodgers Stadium against Doug Bear.
Remember that guy.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, I remember him, a fastball, curve ball, and I
think I maybe hit a curveball off of Doug Bear.
Right ended pitcher, good pitcher, through hard.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
All right, here's your other one. Nineteen eighty one, a
special year for you, Rick. It was May twentieth against
the Phillies here at Dodgers Stadium, and you loved hitting
against the Phillies. Your second walk off home run as
a pinch hitter against Tug McGraw.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Against Tug, I believe I also hit one off of
Tug during.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
A game in Philadelphia in the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
On was was coming into the game. It was not
a walk off, but I remember that Tommy asked me
to come on and pinch hit, even though Tug McGraw
is on the mount in Monty Basca, who's the bench
coastays well it's a lefty, and Tommy says, I don't care,
it doesn't matter, and I wound up the hitting. Thanks
for the trip back and the memory lane.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
I'm curious You've had a lot of great things happen
in your baseball life. When you hear your name linked
and a player breaking a record like that, and I
mentioned those games, does is there anything in your mind's
eye that can remember those things?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Sometimes not all the time, not all the time at all.
There are special moments, but I think more group moments.
When you say nineteen eighty one, I think of the team,
and you know, I wear this World Championship ring from
nineteen eighty one every day. I don't have to be
reminded as it. Oh, by the way, you happen to
do that. I look at it from the big picture.
You know, the twenty five players, the teammates. You look
(28:46):
at Tom to the sort, you look at the coaching staff,
you look at the front office, you look at the
scouting and then the fans that were there for me.
It's kind of a celebration of Memory Lane and going
back in there. But I like celebrating with those that
I was surrounded with and we accomplished something instead of
standing on a podium and say, Okay, look at this,
(29:07):
look at this medal, and what wish. There's nothing wrong
with winning the medal, but I prefer team team victories.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
We actually talked about that the other day. Your Dodger
teams were never individualized.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
It was always a group.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, exactly, And that's what you have to do the
game of baseball. Teams win, you know. Tim Lasorda had
this saying, individuals win awards, Teams win championships.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Nineteen eighty one a special team championship.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Rick, you're our number sixteen. Okay, we'll check back in
with you a little bit late.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Books back into the archives and then lock yeah, lock
it up. I probably found him somewhere in a cave.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, we did. It was uh, it was BC
when I founded.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, written in stone.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Well, set it back here in the studio.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Tip, all right, thanks a lot, guys still to come
here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck.

Yoshi Yamamoto, look the bounce back after his last outing
against the Giants. Stephen Nelson will be back with a rick.
We'll get to those keys to the game. But up
next we go high and tight with Justin rold Lusky.
What a night he had last night of pitching out
of the bullpen Dodgers and Andres on this Thursday night
at First Pitching seven ten, I'm Tim Katsis the world
champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
tech on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
David, And now what will likely be vasse fielding insults
from a Dodger player.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
This is high and tight.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
It was a win for the Dodgers last night in
more ways than one. The Dodgers walk off thanks to
Will Smith, but also did not have to dip into
that bullpen thanks to Emit Sheen and our guest Justin Robleski.
Thanks a lot for the time, Justin appreciate it. And
there's Emmit Sheen right on.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Cute thank you.
Speaker 15 (31:34):
David's up.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
Hey, how was that feeling last night? Just rewarding not
only in winning the game, but also helping your bullpen out.
Speaker 15 (31:42):
Yeah, obviously it's you know, it's always great to help
the bullpen. And you know, like I said before, going
out there and saving the bullpen is kind of my job,
regardless of where my role is right now. So that's
kind of what I want to go out there and
do every time.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
The last time we've seen you the last two times out,
including last night, it just seems like you're pitching with
a lot more conviction. Are we seeing that?
Speaker 15 (32:02):
Yeah? For sure. I think I'm just kind of dipping
back into who I am as a pitcher and just
kind of I think that comes with, you know, comfortability
and being up here. So I think it's it's been
great and I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Who is that? Who are you as a pitcher?
Speaker 15 (32:15):
I think I'm just I'm the guy that's gonna go
out there and fill the strike zone and then you know,
let my stuff play and see where it takes me.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
What was working so well last night?
Speaker 15 (32:23):
I think we were doing a pretty decent job of
getting ahead and counts. I think I still could have
done a little bit better first pitch strikes, but I
was doing a good job if I didn't get the
first pitch strike, kind of getting back in the count,
getting two of the first three in there, and you know,
when you have guys on their heels, it's just tougher
for them to hit. So I think that's what I
was doing a good job of.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
I guess we could get into all the science of pitching,
but it really does come down to making your job
easier by getting ahead early.
Speaker 15 (32:50):
That's true. That's that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
I know, right everybody wants to break down your pitching mechanics,
but getting ahead in the count strike one is vital
to anybody. I sometimes count how many pitches a pitcher
will throw behind in the count, and you can see
the difference how it works and how you get yourself
into trouble when you don't throw strike.
Speaker 15 (33:13):
One, for sure. I think it's just, you know, guys
up here are obviously very, very skilled, best hitters in
the world, so when you get behind in the count,
it kind of frees them out to take their their
best swings, and that's where you get into trouble.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Justin Robleski is our guest. I'm still amazed by how
many of you young guys can adapt from being a
starting pitcher to being a guy to come in in
bulk innings or close out games. What is it about
the culture in the minor leagues that allows you guys
to be so nimble.
Speaker 15 (33:42):
I think it's just we have a lot of guys
with with pretty high character and kind of are willing
to do whatever it takes to win, and especially you know,
we understand that when we come up here, like what
our role is and where we fit in. I think
you know, everybody understands that regardless of where you're at,
the and the goals of what you're trying to do
out there is the same, and no matter where you are,
(34:04):
it's it's the same. You're just trying to get ahead
and counts, you're trying to save the bullpen. You're just
trying to go out there and do your thing. And
I think you know, just focusing on the process more
than you know necessarily what the results are or where
you're pitching from.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
When the game is rolling on like it was last night,
how do you treat the preparation? Are you trying to
put your head where it would be at seven ten?
Speaker 15 (34:26):
I think for me it's just you know, treating it
similar to a start. Obviously there's there's some things that
you can't quite prepare for, but you know, for me,
it's like I'm going to come in after che'sy and
you know, whatever whatever we do like whenever that is like,
just be ready for it. And you know you have
an idea and Bartow and all them are very good about,
you know, telling you you know kind of what the
(34:48):
plan is going into the game, and then you just
kind of roll and adap with it.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Hey, I love that nickname, cheesy for image shean.
Speaker 15 (34:54):
Of course, of course you got to.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Give him some spice. That's why he's the man.
Speaker 15 (34:58):
He's the man.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
How good was it to see him back out there?
Speaker 13 (35:02):
Oh?
Speaker 15 (35:02):
Yeah, man, it's it's awesome. You know, I kind of
I had had TJ as well, so I kind of
know what it takes. And you know, especially you know,
for him having it, you know, while being in the
big leagues, I'm sure it was a little tougher and
you know, really really awesome to see him do his
thing last night. He's got electric stuff. He's a great dude,
so it was super super happy for him.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
Justin Robleski is our guest in front of first pitch
between the Dodgers and Padres as the Dodgers looked for
the four game sweep. Also another dynamic last night was
your catcher Dalton Rushing. How comfortable were you seeing him
behind the plate, even at this level.
Speaker 15 (35:35):
Yeah, it's great. It's great to see Dalton back there.
And obviously I've thrown him a bunch of the minor leagues.
So just kind of having the chance to throw to
him is great. You know, whether whether it's him or will,
I trust both of them back there. So it was
it was cool to throw to him and go to
see him get that big hit last night.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
What fancy nickname does Dalton Rushing have in Oklahoma City?
Speaker 15 (35:54):
Just rush, just rush. Yeah, that's all that's all we
got for him. But he doesn't need it. He doesn't
need a crazy.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
One, all right about Robleski? Just Robo, just Robo.
Speaker 15 (36:02):
That's been it forever.

Ryan Bergert on the mound one to know with a two.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Thirty three ERA, twenty five year old rookie right hander,
sixth round pick out of West Virginia in twenty twenty one.
He fell in the draft because he didn't even pitch
that year. In twenty twenty one at West Virginia. He
was recovering from Tommy John surgery, so he fell in
the draft. Fastball fifty percent of the time, followed by
a slider and a sweeper. Making his fourth start, eight appearance,
He's been inserted into the rotation after being out of
(37:59):
the bullpen last three starts at least five innings in each.
Last time out five innings, three runs, three hits, eight
strikeouts in a no decision against the Diamondbacks. Yoshinobu Yamamoto
on the mound for the Dodgers, six and five with
a two to sixty four ERA, making this fourteen start,
looking to bounce back after his last outing against the
Giants on Friday, four and two, thirty five runs, six hits,
five walks in a loss. This is his third regular
(38:21):
season appearance against San Diego. Yoshinobu Yama Moto, Ryan Berger
at the pitching matchup Dodgers Padres for fifteen minutes away
from first pitch.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Key's in the game, our next, I'm Tim kase is.

Dodgers and Padres wrapping up this four game series. Dodgers
going for the sweep. Everton won three straights. It took
two to three in San Diego last week in this
season series, first pitch coming up at seven to ten.
When the Boys in Blue play at home, it's important
they have the right plan to protect their house, and
they've done a great job of that here on this
homestand the same applies to your home. Always have a
(39:07):
plan and always follow fire safety tips. It's fireworks season,
so make sure you're practicing fireworks safety. Use safe insane
fireworks that display the California State Fire Marshall Seal. Always
read the directions and the sure fireworks are only lit
by adults. For more information these tips and to find
out others, visit fire dot CA dot GB. All right,
Back out to the booth, Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, guys, All.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Right TC hanging out with Rick Monday one more time
as we prep for first pitch in the series finale,
the Dodgers trying to knock the Padres back down to
San Diego on a four game sweep. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will
take the ball for LA in this one mo and
the Dodgers have lost all three of his turns here
in the month of June is era north of five
(39:50):
and a half. So what do you make of this
little June swoon for Yamamoto?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Actually, going back and looking at some numbers, has actually
been more than June. Back to April, the four starts
batting average against was one p eighty one. If we
look at the five starts in the month of May
while he was three and one, the batting average actually
went down only one forty six, but two ninety three
so far in June in the three starts that he's had,
even though overall just a one ninety five batting average
(40:19):
against him I think consistency more than anything else, and
that split finger fastball was not really dialed in particularly
well his last outing.
Speaker 7 (40:28):
So what are some other things that you're keeping an
eye out for tonight as the Dodgers try and finish
off the.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Sueek Well, I think how they're going to work to
Ryan Berger at the right hander a six round pick
by the pandres if you look back to twenty twenty one,
but his reverse splits are really kind of eye opening
because right handers have done pretty good job against him,
but lefties only three hits in thirty two at bats
against the right handed pitcher with no extra base hits.
Now the question is going to be how does he
(40:54):
work the lineup here and there? And for Burger, this
is his four start, four relief appearances. But he's a
guy that's had to be pushed into the starting rotation
because of injuries in the starting staff for the Preas.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
The Dodgers are going to elevate last night's walk off hero,
Will Smith to the three spot, just the latest clutch
number sixteen to wear a Dodger uniform, following Andre Ether
and oh gosh, what's his name?
Speaker 2 (41:20):
It's not Tuesday it's Monday. Don't leave out Paula Duca.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I wouldn't dare leave out Paula Luduca.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
But the reason why not just because Smith is leading
the National League in batting average TIM. It's because you
look at left handed batters this year against Berger, they're
just three for thirty two, no extra base hits. So
after the LEFTI O tiny, it'll be a right righty
in Betts, alrighty in Smith, and then Freddy Freeman will clean.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Up Game four.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Four.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
Can't wait for the start, it's coming up shortly.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
All right, first pitch his next Enjoy it.
