hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts, who will not be
on the bench tonight for the Dodgers. He's been suspended

Shortly we visit with Kirsten Watson, and in just a
few minutes we headed out to the Gallpin Motor broadcast
both with Tim Neverett and a Rick Monday.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Last night, there were plenty of fireworks, even though they
weren't scheduled at Dodgers Stadium. It was the Dodgers and
Padres in the final game of a four game series,
Dodgers going for the four game sweep. Yoshi Yamamoto on
the mound. Dodgers felt pretty good about their chances going
into this one. Yamamoto, though, got into trouble in the second.
In the second batter, he faced Zander Bogart's uh oh.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
On a two two pitch. Bogarts swings and hits a
high fly ball left center field. Going back hasse on camp.
He is at the wall and that ball's gone. Xander
Bogarts with his fourth home run of the year. Yoshinobu
Yamamoto had been playing with fire with the fly balls
to start the ballgame, and finally he and the Dodgers
got burned. Bogarts puts the Padres on top. One to nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, five batters in, there's not been a ball hit
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yet, Yoshi Yamamoto, he can give up the home run
he gave up one last night to Guards. In the second.
It was one nothing until the fifth when the Padres
tacked on a round with the sack fly and then
in the seventh, with one out, Cronaworth a ground rule
double that made it a three to nothing game. Padres
on top, and that would be it for Yoshi Yamamoto
(03:15):
six and a third, three run, seven hits, five strikeouts,
didn't walk about her through one hundred pitches, got zero
run support while he was out there last night. Meanwhile,
the Padres would tack on two more in the eighth.
Things got interesting a couple of Indians in the game,
in particular the ninth, when Fernando Tatis Junior got hit
in the top half of the inning by Jack little Well.
(03:36):
The bottom half of the inning, the Padres retaliated by
hitting show Hey Otani. That wasn't cool. The Dodgers got
a little momentum going in the ninth inning and got
on the board next to Tommy.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Edmund swores out of the stretch. Edmund with a base
hit left center field.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's down.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Fernandez comes into score and it scoots underneath Lockridge.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Once he goes to third.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Edmund heads the second he's in there, sliding safely.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The Dodgers are on the board. It's five to one.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
A misplay in center field by Brandon Lockridge allowed an
extra base and another runner.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Into scoring position. Tommy Evan with the RBI single thanks
to some bad play by the Padres, hayes On Kim
grounded out, scoring Max a month Seamen in a five
to two game. Tommy ed was scoring a wild pitch.
It was a five to three game tye and run
at second base, runner second and third, two out. Dalton
Rushing came up with a chance to get the win
(04:34):
and struck out to end the game. While night though ejections,
both managers get tossed, a bench coach gets tossed. Swore
as the reliever for the Padres gets tossed. What a
series it was, fireworks in all four games. Dodgers lose
last night in the finale three to nothing, but they
still take three or four from San Diego. They're forty
six and thirty overall in this season and that was
(04:56):
the top tier play of the game. Brought to you
by ARCO quality, top tier gas for Dodgers. Back at
it with the top tier future Hall of Famer in
Clayton Kershaw on the mound twelve strikeout shy of three
thousand first pitch Dodger Stadium on this Friday Night's coming
up at seven ten with more we head out to
the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello to
(05:16):
Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Guys.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Thanks Tim Clear Night here at Dodgers Stadium as the
Dodgers get sent to begin this series with the Washington Nationals.
Dodgers start the night three and a half games in
front of San Francisco in first place in the West
forty six wins thirty losses. Meantime, the Naps thirty one
and forty four. They're fourteen games out in the National
League East, and they have lost eleven of their last
(05:41):
twelve ball games and have Major League Baseball's worst record
in the month of June. At three and fourteen, Clayton
Kershaw continues to dig into strikeout number three thousand. He's
just twelve away two and oho for Kershaw in a
three and a quarter earn run average. He'll face McKenzie Gore.
Gore is three and six with a two eight ninety l.
(06:03):
Gore beat the Dodgers back in April in DC and MO. Tonight,
they'll be doing it without the manager suspension's handed down
this afternoon from Major League Baseball due to last night's
extra curriculars.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We'll say so.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Dave Roberts gets a game suspension, he'll serve it tonight.
Mike Shilt of the Padres gets a game, he's going
to serve it tonight. And Suarez the closer, got three games,
he's appealing that. For San Diego.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, how about August coming up? Have back to back
three game series on weekends. Dodgers and the Pandres here
at home on August fifteen, sixteen, seventeenth, and the next
weekend down in San Diego. You might want to have
earplugs in that one. But the Dodgers three out of fourth,
they were able to get past the San Diego p Andres.
(06:52):
So three and a half games, dow in front of
San Francisco, five out in front of San Diego. And
I think for the Nationals too, they're gonna be up
for it for a couple of reasons. Hey, they've got
a couple of young players. Really something to look at.
James Wood begin with at two home runs yesterday, including
a walk off in the eleventh inning. And for the
Nationals that you mentioned the record, Well they snapped that
eleven game losing streak in extra inning, so they figured
(07:14):
that well, maybe the longest win streak of the season
started last night, and for.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
The Dodgers, it's been kind of an emotional week. You
got the Giants in followed by a four gamer with
the Podres. How do they avoid this series being a
trap series? Remember the Nationals won two out of three
against the Dodgers back in the Nation's Capital in April.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, I think it's a good point. And the Dodgers
have a different lineup tonight. Freddie Freeman is not in
the lineup. Max Munsey not in the lineup. To begin
with Dave Roberts talking about he and Freddie Freeman had
already discussed a head of time and not being in
the lineup tonight some months to get arrest. At the
beginning of the game, Miguel Rojas is a third key,
k Hernantez will play a first base, and Conforto is
(07:55):
back in the lineup in left field.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Now for Freddy Freeman, a little bit of load management.
I guess if we can borrow a term from the
NBA that Dave Roberts had told him, they want to
give him this day off. You got a left handed starter.
If they're going to start giving him days off here
and there, this is something new this season. For Freddie Freeman,
who has always wanted to be in the lineup every
single day.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, and I think part of that concern is the
fact that Dave has some people on the bench that
he needs to get into ballgames. He just can't put
people on the showf and they say, okay, fine, yeah, hey,
by the way, you haven't played in a month and
a half, go up, grab a bat and go save
us and hit the ball out of the ballpark and
get a clutch base hit. You've got to keep the
guys active on your twenty six man roster, and that
(08:36):
includes all the backup guys that maybe you're not starting
each and every night, but you have to give them
opportunities to play to get fresh.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Mookie Betts is on a little bit of a downward streak,
and I mean that by saying he's gone three straight
games hitless. He's only had two streaks of four straight
games without a hit in his entire career. The first
time was in twenty fifteen and the last time was
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The defense has really come around. You look at the offense,
that's not right there, but boy, he's made up with
a glove. He's had I think in this home stand
already but four highlight films just in defensive plays that
he's made.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Clayton Kershaw McKenzie Gore, Battle of left Handers says. The
Dodgers and Nationals play a game one of this weekend
set at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Tim all right, thank you guys, as we tell you
down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day
meal on his Shaky's Pizza parlor, or are your Shaky's
Pizza Chicken to Mojo's right now at Shaky's at dot com.
Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna
hear for the manager Dave Roberts, who has served his
one game suspension. We'll check in with David vassa course
with all the latest. We'll dive deeper into this pitching
(09:44):
matchup with Clayton Kershaw getting closer and closer to three
thousand strikeouts. But up next to your Otani rewind and
we visit with sports and at LA's, Here'ston Watson. That's
all coming up. As we lead you up to Dodgers
and nash on this Friday night, make sure of being
with us. Tim kas is the world champion Los Angeles
(10:04):
Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt's game on your home for.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Hands the Dodgers and Nationals. Clayton and Kershaw McKenzie gore
the pitching matchup. First bitch from Dodgers Stadium coming up
at seven times.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
This is the Otani ree Why.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Two outs Edmond on first the pitch, Otani rips it
to right field, hit us down, and Tatisa is after it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Edmund goes first to third.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Otani holds up on a single as Tatis spins and
fires it back to the infield. There's another hit for
a left handed batter, so well, Otani probably has to
recognize the situation here. You need one more base runner.
It's three to zero. Probably need to see at least
one the pitch and it hits Oltani up and in
(10:59):
at one hundred. Get old Tony in the front left shoulder,
and he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Be out of the game.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, so is he immediately ejected?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, Robert Swarez ejected from the game last night. Enjoy
your three game suspension while you appeal it. Of course,
Mike Schildt got one game. Dave Roberts got one game
suspension for their parts last night, both getting ejected as
a Dodgers lose the game last night to the San
Diego Padres. But these two teams will square off a
game six more times.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Okay, Kirston now joins us from Dodgers Sandy before the
Dodgers and Nationals brought to you by Cars for Kids.
Ready to donate that little car? Call eight seven and
seven Cars for Kids Right now friendly agents are standing
by to take your donations as cars with the k
to donate your car today. The Dodgers now the Nationals
in town. Kirston, the Padres have left in what a while,
four days it was last night. The bench is cleared,
(11:54):
the bullpen's cleared, the managers got.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Added wild to say the and especially you know you
know where my CEDI is here at the at Dodger Stadium.
I'm right next to the Dodgers dugout and you know
all is Look, obviously, you never want to see a
player get hit in the hand. First and foremost we've
seen it unfortunately multiple times for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Whether we go back to Corey Seeger, Justin Turner, Mookie Betts.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
We've seen players in position in which they've gotten an injury,
then the scans come back that there's a fracture, whatever
the case may be. You don't ever want to see that.
We know how painful that is all of the things.
But when you have a young picture like Jack Little
who's making his major league debut, it was clear that
it was not intentional from the Dodgers standpoint. So Dave
Roberts obviously was seize the moment and you could just
(12:41):
tell that, you know, he felt for Fernando Tatist junior
in I shouldn't say all of a sudden, But of
course you then have a manager on the other side, who,
of course is amped up. There's been a lot of
hit batters in this game on both sides, so emotions
and tensions are high.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He starts kind of.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Yelling at Dave Roberts. Dave then gets up and things
escalated from there, in which the bay the benches did clear,
and of course words were exchanged amongst the guys. So
I think it was there was some conversation that MLB
might step in, and so they did today and decided
that they would like both Mike Schultz, the manager of
(13:16):
the Padres, and Dave Roberts, of course, the manager of
the Dodgers, to serve a one game suspension and then
Roberts sores from the Padres from the bullpen, their closer.
He is served, well, he's been asked to serve a
three game suspension, but it does sound like he's appealing it.
So it did seem that his hitting of shohev Tani
was deemed more intentional than unintentional. So obviously the past
(13:39):
few days have been very intense. Now, as you mentioned,
the Nationals come in, it's gonna be a little bit
of a different feel for these games. But still, you know,
when it comes to Dodgers, they do want to kind
of keep the winning energy, carrying that over into this series.
But but yeah, things are gonna look a little bit different,
just in the dugout today with no Dave Roberts managing.
So Danny Layman is going to be stepping in as
(14:00):
the manager tonight, and Dave he doesn't decided and quite
figured out what exactly that means for himself, if he's
allowed to be here, if he's gonna stay in his
office during the game. Of course, Eric Harris is kind
of teasing him, like, maybe come hang out in the
broadcast booth, you know, why not. Maybe he'll come in
here and come into the radio booth. We shall see,
but he won't be in the dugout this evening with
(14:22):
the team.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, wherever he's at, he'll have a chance to watch
Clayton Kershaw twelve strikeouts away now from three thousand Kisa.
We appreciate. We'll check out with you after the game.
Still to come here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
We dive deeper of this pitching matchup. David Bassay goes
one on one with Danny Lehman. But up Vangs, we
get your injury report. It's a Dodgers in Nationals first pitch.
(14:43):
It's seven to ten. I'm Tim Kasis, the world champion
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
for the blue All season.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Low Bronco Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Friday
night as we leads up to first pitch Dodgers and
the Nationalists. As the homestay continues, Morono Casino Resort and
spat a Grand Slam four good times. Clayton Kershaw McKenzie
gore the pitching matchup, first pitch sent for seven ten.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
He's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical Partner of the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin, Tyler Glass, now Blake Snell, Rookie
Sasaki all on the injured list. Sasaki moved to the
sixty day IL earlier year. At today, Blake trying to
try to work his way back. Luis Garcia as well.
All right, he's been suspended for one game. He will
not be managing tonight. Bud. Let's go back out to
(15:43):
Dodgers state. He been here from the Dodgers Skipper Dave.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can
you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
I support it. I think that obviously, Lee. You know,
I never want to make the game about the managers.
It shouldn't be should be about the players and winning.
And so you know, last night, both managers are protecting
their teams, and you know it just unfortunately it got
to a point that we became the focus and that's
(16:18):
not the way it should be. So Yeah, there's a
game suspension for both of us and starts tonight, and
I think Mike Hill, major League Baseball, made the right decision.
So it's something all you know certainly have to be
mindful of going forward. Yeah, Daniel will manage the club
tonight for there.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Is that just because Scoff plant recently.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Or No, No, it's I think it's just more of
just the stretch that we're in, giving them a day,
getting some other guys in there. Obviously he's still managing
his body, and so to give them one day to
then get through the weekend. I think it's just the
right decisions.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Bass.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
I think he's just not right mechanically. I think if
you see Freddy when he's right, there's the big part
of the field, there's left center, there's left field, and
I think right now he's just kind of hooking balls
and not squaring them up the way he'd like to.
So I think that's more mechanic driven.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. Danny Layman will
be the acting manager. You'll hear from him coming up
in about twenty minutes with David Verse. When we come back,
we'll check in with d VE gets you all the latest.
So it leads out to first pitch on this Friday night,
Dodgers and Nationals. First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim kase Is the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
As we were saying, yes, he's Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Leading up to Dodgers and the Nationals on this Friday night,
Clayton Kershoff of Kenzie Core the pitching matchup. First pitch
set for seven.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Ten, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
All right, DV. It's been a wild four days out
of Dodger Stadium, now that the Padres have left and
the dust has kind of settled after that series, a
couple of suspensions and a lot of bruis egos.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
I guess yeah, And honestly, talking to a few of
the Dodgers players today, they thought three games was fair
for a relief pitcher like Robert Suarez for what he
did last night, and nobody was really up in arms
that both managers got suspended for a game and got fined.
But you know, really, the consensus I got talking to
(18:54):
a few different Dodger players today was what did Major
League Baseball expect having us play the Padres seven times
within a week?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That is going to get tensions running high.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
And a few of those players told me that it
was starting to get to that point when they were
playing the Mets seven times within ten days as well.
So when you put two really competitive teams and teams
that played a five game or a seven game series
in last year's playoffs, you're going to get tensions running high.
(19:30):
And also you fast forward to August fifteenth, that's when
the Dodgers and Padres meet again, and they'll meet again
within a week period of time six times. So I
wouldn't expect the tempers to simmer down when you're playing
them that many times in such a short period of time.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Daviment It is brought to you by the twenty five
Ford f one fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
It's time to see Ford and a new light take
advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. What
do you think about the way that Otani handle things
last night, David in the ninth any kind of waving
to his dugout like no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
A lot of people thought it was masterful that he
was playing it that way instead of letting emotions get
the best of him and creating another benches clearing situation.
And a lot of people thought he was playing some
mind games with Luisa Rise and the rest of the Padres.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And here's something that nobody has mentioned.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
If you're going to hit shoe Heotani purposely, you might
want to rethink it because he's the only position player
that can pitch. He's the only guy that could take
it back into his own hands with the DH and play.
You don't really see that beanball because pitchers don't hit anymore.
But there's one guy that does, and his name shoe Aotani.
(20:52):
So the Padres and every other team in baseball should
rethink that strategy.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
David, what's going on with these Washington Nationals that come
to town. They're not very good.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
They have some good young players, tim, but yeah, when
you're a young team and you don't play well, it
could snowball on you, like the Nationals had its snowball
on them before winning it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
They had an eleven game losing streak.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Before James Wood hit a walk off home run against
the Rockies yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So they're a good young team.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Mackenzie Gore is a really good pitcher that has given
the Dodgers some fits in the past. So we'll see
whether or not the Dodger offense can get to him
around the fourth or fifth innings.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
All right, DV great stuffle, check back in with you
in just a few minutes. David's gonna go one on
one with acting manager Danny Lehman. That's coming up in
fifteen minutes. Again, Dave Roberts suspended for one game. He
will serve that suspension at tonight and not be on
the bench for the Dodgers in this series opening game
against the Washington Nationals. When we come back here on
(21:55):
Dodgers on Deck, we'll get your Dodgers magical moment Dodgers

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah. Well, the good news is you did not bring
those in and tell me you bought it in an
antique shop, because that's exactly what happened. I told you
the story a number of years ago. My wife, Barbaraly
is with me and it's during the season and she's
on a road trip with me and we're on the
Dodger charter and the one of the flight attendants comes
(25:31):
by and he had been on some other flights and
he knew my wife and he was laughing. I said,
there hasn't really been anything funny, and then he goes said,
I've got something for you. He started to laugh again.
He's let me go get it. So he comes back
a few minutes later and he has a baseball card,
and now he really starts to laugh, and I'm going,
wait a minute, something isn't quite right. And he looked
at Barbara, and he looked at me and goes, here's
(25:53):
the funny thing. I bought it in an antique store.
So when you brought it in today, the first thing
I asked you told you go to an antique store
and buy it.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
No. No, I found it in the Dodger box.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Well you may not have bought them, the guy may
hear it? Take them? Please? No way.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
I had to grab these before somebody else did. Last
night a lot of drama here at Dodger Stadium. I'm
sure you've been through your share of baseball brawls and fights.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
What did you think about last night?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I get it, I understand really from both sides to
a certain extent. Yes, there were some people that were
hit during the series, both here and down in San Diego.
I get that part. I get the competitive end of it.
The only thing that I think that that Mike Shildt
would like to do differently if it presented himself. You
can be angry, understandable but when you come out of
(26:42):
a dugout and start yelling and start yelling expletives, and
from at least from what I could see, and reading
lips and then pointing at individuals, in particular that being
the manager of Dave Roberts, that is kind of exciting
to begin with, to see what happens. And I think
Dave on the flip side, if he had something to
(27:03):
do over again, he would have been maybe a little
bit more calm and not to have bumped into Shilds.
So both of the gentlemen will have and I mean
that sincerely. I have never heard a bad word about
Mike Schildt at all ever, And obviously we know Dave
Roberts very well, and we've never heard anything bad about
Dave either. So I think both of them got caught
(27:24):
up in the moment. It's understandable, it's unfortunate, and everybody
has to move on. That being said, if you wanted
to see the Dodgers in Padres in August fifteen, sixteenth,
and seventeenth here at Dodgers Stadium, you might want to
get your tickets early and then the following weekend. That's
on a weekend, by the way, fifteen through seventeen, and
then the next weekend the Dodgers are down in San
(27:46):
Diego to play. I would imagine that the volume of
the crowd noise is going to be somewhat high.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
I'm glad you brought that up, because the number of
players has brought this up to me. What did Major
League Baseball expect when you have the Dodgers and Padres
play each other seven times within a week and then
again in August six times within a week.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yes, tempers will boil you six times within ten days
in August. And we just got through with it with
seven yeahs and two teams that are very talented, and
two teams that are expected to be in competition for
first place in the Western Division of the National League.
Turns out Dodgers are now three and a half in
front of San Francisco, five in front of San Diego.
(28:29):
But the Padres, it was no surprise that they were
going to be competing, And I don't know how much
that plays into trying to make out a schedule, which
quite frankly was very odd this year for the late
arrival of the Giants and Dodgers to play one another,
the late rival of the Dodgers and the Padres to
play one another. But the schedule is what the schedule is,
(28:51):
So we'll find out. Speaking of guys, and both the
Shilt and Roberts suspended tonight, and your pregame guest is
going to be the guy who's in responsible for the
lineup card, Danny Lehman, who's going to be the acting manager.
Speaker 9 (29:05):
Tonight, second time on this homestand he's had to take
over for Dave Roberts, actually third time after last night.
We don't see Dave get thrown out of too many games, no, No, one.
Other thing I wanted to ask you about last night,
were you what did you think about the way Otani
reacted kind of joking around and maybe playing some mind
games with the Padres.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, and it diffused some things. It's just
another area that Otanian mazes is and what he can do,
and I think being able to read the Padres, being
able to read what O'tani was saying. He said, Hey, guys, no,
I'm okay, let's not get involved with this. You know,
(29:46):
he should go to the UN and represent a lot
of different countries at one time around the table.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
No doubt he would be a great peacemaker deal maker
right there. So with te Oscar Hernandez the way he
cooled off and got Mike Schildt to smile at the
end of all that.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
See he could be the for show hal Tony at
the un.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
All right, Rick, thanks a lot for stopping buying. Thanks
for signing these baseball cards I found today.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, yeah, thanks for not telling me it was an
antique show.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Tim, let's get those bad boys granted. David little psa
action on those autos. All right, that's the Dodger game plan.

Community College? But Angeline's available to help you with tuition,

(30:34):
you a preview of this pitching matchup, Rick and Tim,
we're gonna get those keys of the game for you.
What up next? We go high and tight with the
acting manager Danny Layman filling in for Dave Roberts tonight,
who suspended one game, leading you up to first pitch,
Dodgers and Nationals from the ravine. I'm Tim kats Is,
the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers on your network.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
As we were saying yes, Wrongo Casino Dodgers on tack
on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (31:07):

of a three game sent Clayton Kershaw on the Mount.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
And now what will likely be vasse fielding insults from
a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Player, It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
This is high and tight.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
It's a new series here at Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers
are welcoming in the Washington Nationals. But obviously last night
there was tempers that flared over the Padres emotions spilled
onto the field, and today Major League Baseball announced that
both managers have been suspended for one game and Robert Suarez,
the Padres closer, suspended for three games. And we're joined
(32:06):
right now by tonight's acting manager, and that's Dave Roberts
bench coach, Danny Lehman. Danny, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Thanks Dave.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
How did you find out that Doc was suspended for
tonight's game? And how does that change what you do?
Speaker 11 (32:20):
It doesn't change much at all obviously for me for
what I do to prepare for the game and get ready.
But yeah, everything's been kind of emotional the last couple
of games, as you know, but I think we're all
glad that this series is over with and we're onto
the next one to get kind of rolling into the weekend.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
How surprised were you when you saw Mike Schild come
out of the dugout and not go check on Fernando
Tatis Junior, but come out and kind of get after Dave.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
Yeah, it wasn't the best situation to be in obviously yesterday,
and I understand how emotional it was for both teams
and how he came out and looking to I assume
to pre TechEd his players. I didn't see him coming
out that hot, but he did, and and it escalated
pretty quick, and I'm just glad, you know, we're past
(33:10):
it and nobody's really hurt through all of it, and
we can kind of move on.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
Speaking of almost being hurt, how close and how out
of bounds is it for Robert Suarez, who was suspended
three games today, to go that high to hit sho
heo tani.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, I mean where the game was and three zero count,
three zero count.
Speaker 11 (33:32):
Yeah, it's just you know, like I said, the tempers
were just high, and it was nobody likes to get
thrown up in the zone around your head like or
above the waist obviously, and and I don't I can't
speak to the intent on it with him, and you'd
have to talk to him or whatever, but it's you
just don't like getting your players hit, and especially up top.
So you know that's not comforting for anybody on either team.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
You were able to chase down Dave Roberts pretty quickly
there as things started to spill onto the field. You
are a former catcher, so you know how to run
out there and try to grab somebody. How successful were
you last night at being the peacemaker?
Speaker 11 (34:09):
Yeah, And I think everything just escalated quickly with how
it was handled by both guys, and I just try
to get out there and make sure that nothing crazy
happened for our players obviously, but for also for Dave,
and like I said, it was emotional and Shilt was
emotional and it just kind of boiled over at that point.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
How much do you attribute the schedule playing the Padres
seven times within a week to the tempers boiling over
last night?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I think obviously that has something to do with it.
The history has something to do with it, the rivalry,
how good both teams have been over the last couple
of years. All of it just kind of baked together,
and we want to beat them and they want to
beat us, and it just kind of pushed a little
too far, I think, in the last couple of games,
and so it got emotional quickly.
Speaker 9 (34:55):
Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehman is joining us. He is
tonight's acting manager, with Dave Roberts and Mike Schildt each
being suspended by Major League Baseball earlier.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Today, it is Curveshaw Day. Danny Leman, how.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
Aware are you of the fact that he's just twelve
strikeouts away from three thousand in his career.
Speaker 11 (35:13):
Yeah, his curse's day to day, and obviously he had
a really good one last time, and I think that's
what he's trying to repeat. But yeah, everybody's aware of it.
It's unbelievable milestone and it's going to be really exciting
when it happens, and it's well deserved obviously for the
guy and what he's done. But it's a cool thing
to witness and be a part of in a small way.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
You've been around him for a decade now, How incredible
is it to watch him do what he's doing after
everything he's been through.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
It's unbelievable. The consistency with him, how he fights to
get back and what he's continually able to do is
just super impressive. So it's fun to watch him be
on the outside watch it from the side.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
The curve ball seems to be the same with everything
else that seems to still be as good as it was.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, curve boll's great.
Speaker 11 (36:01):
So it's just a very unique pitch and he has
a good feel for it and his other pitches makes
his other pitches better, so obviously just part of his repertoire.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
All right, Danny, thanks a lot for checking in with us,
appreciate it. I know your record is pretty good. Filling
in for Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, what is it? You're undefeated?
Speaker 8 (36:20):
Is it?
Speaker 11 (36:20):
What about last night?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Last night? I don't think that counts. You have to
go at least five innings.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
And manage exactly exactly right, all right, at least you'll
have Will Smith catching tonight.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Finally back to back games for your all star catcher.
Just kidding. Yeah, well yeah, Willson there, thanks a lot, Danny.
I'll let you go. You got a game plan? Thanks Dave?
There he goes.
Speaker 9 (36:40):

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Tim Clayton Kershaw two nine hundred and eighty eight strikeouts.
That's the twentieth most all time. He's twelve away from
becoming only the fourth left hander in the history of
Major League Baseball to have three thousand strikeouts. He'll try
to add to that total tonight with a two to
zero record against Mackenzie Gore. Gore three and six, and
(40:31):
for Kershaw, the countdown continues and he comes off the
best start of his season.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, let's talk pitches very quickly. With Kershaw. Over the
last two years, it's one hundred and eighty one strikeouts,
one hundred and fifty two or non fastballs one hundred
and one of those one to eighty one on sliders.
The reason I mentioned that the slider was very good
the last outing. And by the way, with Mackenzie Gore,
the slider that he throws a good one. In fact,
(40:57):
he's allowed just a one thirty six batting average against
the slider and that's in the top ten and starting
pitches in baseball.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
Far as the bullpen goes tonight, the Dodgers are completely fresh,
says Dave Roberts. So they have fresh arms, including Will
Klein who has been brought up from TRIPAA Oklahoma City,
as Jack Little has been optioned back.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
And you know what they're hoping. They're hoping that tomorrow
on the pregame show, we can say, hey, the bullpen
is fresh.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Last night, there were plenty of fireworks, even though they
weren't scheduled at Dodgers Stadium. It was the Dodgers and
Padres in the final game of a four game series,
Dodgers going for the four game sweep. Yoshi Yamamoto on
the mound. Dodgers felt pretty good about their chances going
into this one. Yamamoto, though, got into trouble in the second.
In the second batter, he faced Zander Bogart's uh oh.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
On a two two pitch. Bogarts swings and hits a
high fly ball left center field. Going back hasse on camp.
He is at the wall and that ball's gone. Xander
Bogarts with his fourth home run of the year. Yoshinobu
Yamamoto had been playing with fire with the fly balls
to start the ballgame, and finally he and the Dodgers
got burned. Bogarts puts the Padres on top. One to nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, five batters in, there's not been a ball hit
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yet, Yoshi Yamamoto, he can give up the home run
he gave up one last night to Guards. In the second.
It was one nothing until the fifth when the Padres
tacked on a round with the sack fly and then
in the seventh, with one out, Cronaworth a ground rule
double that made it a three to nothing game. Padres
on top, and that would be it for Yoshi Yamamoto
(03:15):
six and a third, three run, seven hits, five strikeouts,
didn't walk about her through one hundred pitches, got zero
run support while he was out there last night. Meanwhile,
the Padres would tack on two more in the eighth.
Things got interesting a couple of Indians in the game,
in particular the ninth, when Fernando Tatis Junior got hit
in the top half of the inning by Jack little Well.
(03:36):
The bottom half of the inning, the Padres retaliated by
hitting show Hey Otani. That wasn't cool. The Dodgers got
a little momentum going in the ninth inning and got
on the board next to Tommy.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Edmund swores out of the stretch. Edmund with a base
hit left center field.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's down.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Fernandez comes into score and it scoots underneath Lockridge.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Once he goes to third.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Edmund heads the second he's in there, sliding safely.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The Dodgers are on the board. It's five to one.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
A misplay in center field by Brandon Lockridge allowed an
extra base and another runner.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Into scoring position. Tommy Evan with the RBI single thanks
to some bad play by the Padres, hayes On Kim
grounded out, scoring Max a month Seamen in a five
to two game. Tommy ed was scoring a wild pitch.
It was a five to three game tye and run
at second base, runner second and third, two out. Dalton
Rushing came up with a chance to get the win
(04:34):
and struck out to end the game. While night though ejections,
both managers get tossed, a bench coach gets tossed. Swore
as the reliever for the Padres gets tossed. What a
series it was, fireworks in all four games. Dodgers lose
last night in the finale three to nothing, but they
still take three or four from San Diego. They're forty
six and thirty overall in this season and that was
(04:56):
the top tier play of the game. Brought to you
by ARCO quality, top tier gas for Dodgers. Back at
it with the top tier future Hall of Famer in
Clayton Kershaw on the mound twelve strikeout shy of three
thousand first pitch Dodger Stadium on this Friday Night's coming
up at seven ten with more we head out to
the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello to
(05:16):
Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Guys.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Thanks Tim Clear Night here at Dodgers Stadium as the
Dodgers get sent to begin this series with the Washington Nationals.
Dodgers start the night three and a half games in
front of San Francisco in first place in the West
forty six wins thirty losses. Meantime, the Naps thirty one
and forty four. They're fourteen games out in the National
League East, and they have lost eleven of their last
(05:41):
twelve ball games and have Major League Baseball's worst record
in the month of June. At three and fourteen, Clayton
Kershaw continues to dig into strikeout number three thousand. He's
just twelve away two and oho for Kershaw in a
three and a quarter earn run average. He'll face McKenzie Gore.
Gore is three and six with a two eight ninety l.
(06:03):
Gore beat the Dodgers back in April in DC and MO. Tonight,
they'll be doing it without the manager suspension's handed down
this afternoon from Major League Baseball due to last night's
extra curriculars.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We'll say so.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Dave Roberts gets a game suspension, he'll serve it tonight.
Mike Shilt of the Padres gets a game, he's going
to serve it tonight. And Suarez the closer, got three games,
he's appealing that. For San Diego.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, how about August coming up? Have back to back
three game series on weekends. Dodgers and the Pandres here
at home on August fifteen, sixteen, seventeenth, and the next
weekend down in San Diego. You might want to have
earplugs in that one. But the Dodgers three out of fourth,
they were able to get past the San Diego p Andres.
(06:52):
So three and a half games, dow in front of
San Francisco, five out in front of San Diego. And
I think for the Nationals too, they're gonna be up
for it for a couple of reasons. Hey, they've got
a couple of young players. Really something to look at.
James Wood begin with at two home runs yesterday, including
a walk off in the eleventh inning. And for the
Nationals that you mentioned the record, Well they snapped that
eleven game losing streak in extra inning, so they figured
(07:14):
that well, maybe the longest win streak of the season
started last night, and for.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
The Dodgers, it's been kind of an emotional week. You
got the Giants in followed by a four gamer with
the Podres. How do they avoid this series being a
trap series? Remember the Nationals won two out of three
against the Dodgers back in the Nation's Capital in April.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, I think it's a good point. And the Dodgers
have a different lineup tonight. Freddie Freeman is not in
the lineup. Max Munsey not in the lineup. To begin
with Dave Roberts talking about he and Freddie Freeman had
already discussed a head of time and not being in
the lineup tonight some months to get arrest. At the
beginning of the game, Miguel Rojas is a third key,
k Hernantez will play a first base, and Conforto is
(07:55):
back in the lineup in left field.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Now for Freddy Freeman, a little bit of load management.
I guess if we can borrow a term from the
NBA that Dave Roberts had told him, they want to
give him this day off. You got a left handed starter.
If they're going to start giving him days off here
and there, this is something new this season. For Freddie Freeman,
who has always wanted to be in the lineup every
single day.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, and I think part of that concern is the
fact that Dave has some people on the bench that
he needs to get into ballgames. He just can't put
people on the showf and they say, okay, fine, yeah, hey,
by the way, you haven't played in a month and
a half, go up, grab a bat and go save
us and hit the ball out of the ballpark and
get a clutch base hit. You've got to keep the
guys active on your twenty six man roster, and that
(08:36):
includes all the backup guys that maybe you're not starting
each and every night, but you have to give them
opportunities to play to get fresh.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Mookie Betts is on a little bit of a downward streak,
and I mean that by saying he's gone three straight
games hitless. He's only had two streaks of four straight
games without a hit in his entire career. The first
time was in twenty fifteen and the last time was
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The defense has really come around. You look at the offense,
that's not right there, but boy, he's made up with
a glove. He's had I think in this home stand
already but four highlight films just in defensive plays that
he's made.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Clayton Kershaw McKenzie Gore, Battle of left Handers says. The
Dodgers and Nationals play a game one of this weekend
set at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Tim all right, thank you guys, as we tell you
down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day
meal on his Shaky's Pizza parlor, or are your Shaky's
Pizza Chicken to Mojo's right now at Shaky's at dot com.
Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna
hear for the manager Dave Roberts, who has served his
one game suspension. We'll check in with David vassa course
with all the latest. We'll dive deeper into this pitching
(09:44):
matchup with Clayton Kershaw getting closer and closer to three
thousand strikeouts. But up next to your Otani rewind and
we visit with sports and at LA's, Here'ston Watson. That's
all coming up. As we lead you up to Dodgers
and nash on this Friday night, make sure of being
with us. Tim kas is the world champion Los Angeles

This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt's game on your home for.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Hands the Dodgers and Nationals. Clayton and Kershaw McKenzie gore
the pitching matchup. First bitch from Dodgers Stadium coming up
at seven times.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
This is the Otani ree Why.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Two outs Edmond on first the pitch, Otani rips it
to right field, hit us down, and Tatisa is after it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Edmund goes first to third.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Otani holds up on a single as Tatis spins and
fires it back to the infield. There's another hit for
a left handed batter, so well, Otani probably has to
recognize the situation here. You need one more base runner.
It's three to zero. Probably need to see at least
one the pitch and it hits Oltani up and in
(10:59):
at one hundred. Get old Tony in the front left shoulder,
and he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Be out of the game.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, so is he immediately ejected?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, Robert Swarez ejected from the game last night. Enjoy
your three game suspension while you appeal it. Of course,
Mike Schildt got one game. Dave Roberts got one game
suspension for their parts last night, both getting ejected as
a Dodgers lose the game last night to the San
Diego Padres. But these two teams will square off a
game six more times.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Okay, Kirston now joins us from Dodgers Sandy before the
Dodgers and Nationals brought to you by Cars for Kids.
Ready to donate that little car? Call eight seven and
seven Cars for Kids Right now friendly agents are standing
by to take your donations as cars with the k
to donate your car today. The Dodgers now the Nationals
in town. Kirston, the Padres have left in what a while,
four days it was last night. The bench is cleared,
(11:54):
the bullpen's cleared, the managers got.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Added wild to say the and especially you know you
know where my CEDI is here at the at Dodger Stadium.
I'm right next to the Dodgers dugout and you know
all is Look, obviously, you never want to see a
player get hit in the hand. First and foremost we've
seen it unfortunately multiple times for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Whether we go back to Corey Seeger, Justin Turner, Mookie Betts.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
We've seen players in position in which they've gotten an injury,
then the scans come back that there's a fracture, whatever
the case may be. You don't ever want to see that.
We know how painful that is all of the things.
But when you have a young picture like Jack Little
who's making his major league debut, it was clear that
it was not intentional from the Dodgers standpoint. So Dave
Roberts obviously was seize the moment and you could just
(12:41):
tell that, you know, he felt for Fernando Tatist junior
in I shouldn't say all of a sudden, But of
course you then have a manager on the other side, who,
of course is amped up. There's been a lot of
hit batters in this game on both sides, so emotions
and tensions are high.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He starts kind of.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Yelling at Dave Roberts. Dave then gets up and things
escalated from there, in which the bay the benches did clear,
and of course words were exchanged amongst the guys. So
I think it was there was some conversation that MLB
might step in, and so they did today and decided
that they would like both Mike Schultz, the manager of
(13:16):
the Padres, and Dave Roberts, of course, the manager of
the Dodgers, to serve a one game suspension and then
Roberts sores from the Padres from the bullpen, their closer.
He is served, well, he's been asked to serve a
three game suspension, but it does sound like he's appealing it.
So it did seem that his hitting of shohev Tani
was deemed more intentional than unintentional. So obviously the past
(13:39):
few days have been very intense. Now, as you mentioned,
the Nationals come in, it's gonna be a little bit
of a different feel for these games. But still, you know,
when it comes to Dodgers, they do want to kind
of keep the winning energy, carrying that over into this series.
But but yeah, things are gonna look a little bit different,
just in the dugout today with no Dave Roberts managing.
So Danny Layman is going to be stepping in as
(14:00):
the manager tonight, and Dave he doesn't decided and quite
figured out what exactly that means for himself, if he's
allowed to be here, if he's gonna stay in his
office during the game. Of course, Eric Harris is kind
of teasing him, like, maybe come hang out in the
broadcast booth, you know, why not. Maybe he'll come in
here and come into the radio booth. We shall see,
but he won't be in the dugout this evening with
(14:22):
the team.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, wherever he's at, he'll have a chance to watch
Clayton Kershaw twelve strikeouts away now from three thousand Kisa.
We appreciate. We'll check out with you after the game.
Still to come here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
We dive deeper of this pitching matchup. David Bassay goes
one on one with Danny Lehman. But up Vangs, we
get your injury report. It's a Dodgers in Nationals first pitch.
(14:43):
It's seven to ten. I'm Tim Kasis, the world champion
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
for the blue All season.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Low Bronco Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Friday
night as we leads up to first pitch Dodgers and
the Nationalists. As the homestay continues, Morono Casino Resort and
spat a Grand Slam four good times. Clayton Kershaw McKenzie
gore the pitching matchup, first pitch sent for seven ten.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
He's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical Partner of the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin, Tyler Glass, now Blake Snell, Rookie
Sasaki all on the injured list. Sasaki moved to the
sixty day IL earlier year. At today, Blake trying to
try to work his way back. Luis Garcia as well.
All right, he's been suspended for one game. He will
not be managing tonight. Bud. Let's go back out to
(15:43):
Dodgers state. He been here from the Dodgers Skipper Dave.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can
you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
I support it. I think that obviously, Lee. You know,
I never want to make the game about the managers.
It shouldn't be should be about the players and winning.
And so you know, last night, both managers are protecting
their teams, and you know it just unfortunately it got
to a point that we became the focus and that's
(16:18):
not the way it should be. So Yeah, there's a
game suspension for both of us and starts tonight, and
I think Mike Hill, major League Baseball, made the right decision.
So it's something all you know certainly have to be
mindful of going forward. Yeah, Daniel will manage the club
tonight for there.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Is that just because Scoff plant recently.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Or No, No, it's I think it's just more of
just the stretch that we're in, giving them a day,
getting some other guys in there. Obviously he's still managing
his body, and so to give them one day to
then get through the weekend. I think it's just the
right decisions.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Bass.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
I think he's just not right mechanically. I think if
you see Freddy when he's right, there's the big part
of the field, there's left center, there's left field, and
I think right now he's just kind of hooking balls
and not squaring them up the way he'd like to.
So I think that's more mechanic driven.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. Danny Layman will
be the acting manager. You'll hear from him coming up
in about twenty minutes with David Verse. When we come back,
we'll check in with d VE gets you all the latest.
So it leads out to first pitch on this Friday night,
Dodgers and Nationals. First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim kase Is the
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
As we were saying, yes, he's Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Leading up to Dodgers and the Nationals on this Friday night,
Clayton Kershoff of Kenzie Core the pitching matchup. First pitch
set for seven.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Ten, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
All right, DV. It's been a wild four days out
of Dodger Stadium, now that the Padres have left and
the dust has kind of settled after that series, a
couple of suspensions and a lot of bruis egos.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
I guess yeah, And honestly, talking to a few of
the Dodgers players today, they thought three games was fair
for a relief pitcher like Robert Suarez for what he
did last night, and nobody was really up in arms
that both managers got suspended for a game and got fined.
But you know, really, the consensus I got talking to
(18:54):
a few different Dodger players today was what did Major
League Baseball expect having us play the Padres seven times
within a week?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That is going to get tensions running high.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
And a few of those players told me that it
was starting to get to that point when they were
playing the Mets seven times within ten days as well.
So when you put two really competitive teams and teams
that played a five game or a seven game series
in last year's playoffs, you're going to get tensions running high.
(19:30):
And also you fast forward to August fifteenth, that's when
the Dodgers and Padres meet again, and they'll meet again
within a week period of time six times. So I
wouldn't expect the tempers to simmer down when you're playing
them that many times in such a short period of time.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Daviment It is brought to you by the twenty five
Ford f one fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
It's time to see Ford and a new light take
advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. What
do you think about the way that Otani handle things
last night, David in the ninth any kind of waving
to his dugout like no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
A lot of people thought it was masterful that he
was playing it that way instead of letting emotions get
the best of him and creating another benches clearing situation.
And a lot of people thought he was playing some
mind games with Luisa Rise and the rest of the Padres.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And here's something that nobody has mentioned.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
If you're going to hit shoe Heotani purposely, you might
want to rethink it because he's the only position player
that can pitch. He's the only guy that could take
it back into his own hands with the DH and play.
You don't really see that beanball because pitchers don't hit anymore.
But there's one guy that does, and his name shoe Aotani.
(20:52):
So the Padres and every other team in baseball should
rethink that strategy.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
David, what's going on with these Washington Nationals that come
to town. They're not very good.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
They have some good young players, tim, but yeah, when
you're a young team and you don't play well, it
could snowball on you, like the Nationals had its snowball
on them before winning it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
They had an eleven game losing streak.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Before James Wood hit a walk off home run against
the Rockies yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So they're a good young team.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Mackenzie Gore is a really good pitcher that has given
the Dodgers some fits in the past. So we'll see
whether or not the Dodger offense can get to him
around the fourth or fifth innings.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
All right, DV great stuffle, check back in with you
in just a few minutes. David's gonna go one on
one with acting manager Danny Lehman. That's coming up in
fifteen minutes. Again, Dave Roberts suspended for one game. He
will serve that suspension at tonight and not be on
the bench for the Dodgers in this series opening game
against the Washington Nationals. When we come back here on
(21:55):

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Joined by David Massey. Here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World
Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Rick, I brought you a couple of surprises today. I
was at the baseball card shop in Burbank and I
found a couple of Rick mondays. It was cool to
find a good friend's baseball card.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah. Well, the good news is you did not bring
those in and tell me you bought it in an
antique shop, because that's exactly what happened. I told you
the story a number of years ago. My wife, Barbaraly
is with me and it's during the season and she's
on a road trip with me and we're on the
Dodger charter and the one of the flight attendants comes
(25:31):
by and he had been on some other flights and
he knew my wife and he was laughing. I said,
there hasn't really been anything funny, and then he goes said,
I've got something for you. He started to laugh again.
He's let me go get it. So he comes back
a few minutes later and he has a baseball card,
and now he really starts to laugh, and I'm going,
wait a minute, something isn't quite right. And he looked
at Barbara, and he looked at me and goes, here's
(25:53):
the funny thing. I bought it in an antique store.
So when you brought it in today, the first thing
I asked you told you go to an antique store
and buy it.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
No. No, I found it in the Dodger box.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Well you may not have bought them, the guy may
hear it? Take them? Please? No way.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
I had to grab these before somebody else did. Last
night a lot of drama here at Dodger Stadium. I'm
sure you've been through your share of baseball brawls and fights.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
What did you think about last night?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I get it, I understand really from both sides to
a certain extent. Yes, there were some people that were
hit during the series, both here and down in San Diego.
I get that part. I get the competitive end of it.
The only thing that I think that that Mike Shildt
would like to do differently if it presented himself. You
can be angry, understandable but when you come out of
(26:42):
a dugout and start yelling and start yelling expletives, and
from at least from what I could see, and reading
lips and then pointing at individuals, in particular that being
the manager of Dave Roberts, that is kind of exciting
to begin with, to see what happens. And I think
Dave on the flip side, if he had something to
(27:03):
do over again, he would have been maybe a little
bit more calm and not to have bumped into Shilds.
So both of the gentlemen will have and I mean
that sincerely. I have never heard a bad word about
Mike Schildt at all ever, And obviously we know Dave
Roberts very well, and we've never heard anything bad about
Dave either. So I think both of them got caught
(27:24):
up in the moment. It's understandable, it's unfortunate, and everybody
has to move on. That being said, if you wanted
to see the Dodgers in Padres in August fifteen, sixteenth,
and seventeenth here at Dodgers Stadium, you might want to
get your tickets early and then the following weekend. That's
on a weekend, by the way, fifteen through seventeen, and
then the next weekend the Dodgers are down in San
(27:46):
Diego to play. I would imagine that the volume of
the crowd noise is going to be somewhat high.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
I'm glad you brought that up, because the number of
players has brought this up to me. What did Major
League Baseball expect when you have the Dodgers and Padres
play each other seven times within a week and then
again in August six times within a week.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yes, tempers will boil you six times within ten days
in August. And we just got through with it with
seven yeahs and two teams that are very talented, and
two teams that are expected to be in competition for
first place in the Western Division of the National League.
Turns out Dodgers are now three and a half in
front of San Francisco, five in front of San Diego.
(28:29):
But the Padres, it was no surprise that they were
going to be competing, And I don't know how much
that plays into trying to make out a schedule, which
quite frankly was very odd this year for the late
arrival of the Giants and Dodgers to play one another,
the late rival of the Dodgers and the Padres to
play one another. But the schedule is what the schedule is,
(28:51):
So we'll find out. Speaking of guys, and both the
Shilt and Roberts suspended tonight, and your pregame guest is
going to be the guy who's in responsible for the
lineup card, Danny Lehman, who's going to be the acting manager.
Speaker 9 (29:05):
Tonight, second time on this homestand he's had to take
over for Dave Roberts, actually third time after last night.
We don't see Dave get thrown out of too many games, no, No, one.
Other thing I wanted to ask you about last night,
were you what did you think about the way Otani
reacted kind of joking around and maybe playing some mind
games with the Padres.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, and it diffused some things. It's just
another area that Otanian mazes is and what he can do,
and I think being able to read the Padres, being
able to read what O'tani was saying. He said, Hey, guys, no,
I'm okay, let's not get involved with this. You know,
(29:46):
he should go to the UN and represent a lot
of different countries at one time around the table.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
No doubt he would be a great peacemaker deal maker
right there. So with te Oscar Hernandez the way he
cooled off and got Mike Schildt to smile at the
end of all that.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
See he could be the for show hal Tony at
the un.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
All right, Rick, thanks a lot for stopping buying. Thanks
for signing these baseball cards I found today.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, yeah, thanks for not telling me it was an
antique show.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Tim, let's get those bad boys granted. David little psa
action on those autos. All right, that's the Dodger game plan.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
This is high and tight.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
It's a new series here at Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers
are welcoming in the Washington Nationals. But obviously last night
there was tempers that flared over the Padres emotions spilled
onto the field, and today Major League Baseball announced that
both managers have been suspended for one game and Robert Suarez,
the Padres closer, suspended for three games. And we're joined
(32:06):
right now by tonight's acting manager, and that's Dave Roberts
bench coach, Danny Lehman. Danny, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Thanks Dave.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
How did you find out that Doc was suspended for
tonight's game? And how does that change what you do?
Speaker 11 (32:20):
It doesn't change much at all obviously for me for
what I do to prepare for the game and get ready.
But yeah, everything's been kind of emotional the last couple
of games, as you know, but I think we're all
glad that this series is over with and we're onto
the next one to get kind of rolling into the weekend.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
How surprised were you when you saw Mike Schild come
out of the dugout and not go check on Fernando
Tatis Junior, but come out and kind of get after Dave.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
Yeah, it wasn't the best situation to be in obviously yesterday,
and I understand how emotional it was for both teams
and how he came out and looking to I assume
to pre TechEd his players. I didn't see him coming
out that hot, but he did, and and it escalated
pretty quick, and I'm just glad, you know, we're past
(33:10):
it and nobody's really hurt through all of it, and
we can kind of move on.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
Speaking of almost being hurt, how close and how out
of bounds is it for Robert Suarez, who was suspended
three games today, to go that high to hit sho
heo tani.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, I mean where the game was and three zero count,
three zero count.
Speaker 11 (33:32):
Yeah, it's just you know, like I said, the tempers
were just high, and it was nobody likes to get
thrown up in the zone around your head like or
above the waist obviously, and and I don't I can't
speak to the intent on it with him, and you'd
have to talk to him or whatever, but it's you
just don't like getting your players hit, and especially up top.
So you know that's not comforting for anybody on either team.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
You were able to chase down Dave Roberts pretty quickly
there as things started to spill onto the field. You
are a former catcher, so you know how to run
out there and try to grab somebody. How successful were
you last night at being the peacemaker?
Speaker 11 (34:09):
Yeah, And I think everything just escalated quickly with how
it was handled by both guys, and I just try
to get out there and make sure that nothing crazy
happened for our players obviously, but for also for Dave,
and like I said, it was emotional and Shilt was
emotional and it just kind of boiled over at that point.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
How much do you attribute the schedule playing the Padres
seven times within a week to the tempers boiling over
last night?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I think obviously that has something to do with it.
The history has something to do with it, the rivalry,
how good both teams have been over the last couple
of years. All of it just kind of baked together,
and we want to beat them and they want to
beat us, and it just kind of pushed a little
too far, I think, in the last couple of games,
and so it got emotional quickly.
Speaker 9 (34:55):
Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehman is joining us. He is
tonight's acting manager, with Dave Roberts and Mike Schildt each
being suspended by Major League Baseball earlier.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Today, it is Curveshaw Day. Danny Leman, how.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
Aware are you of the fact that he's just twelve
strikeouts away from three thousand in his career.
Speaker 11 (35:13):
Yeah, his curse's day to day, and obviously he had
a really good one last time, and I think that's
what he's trying to repeat. But yeah, everybody's aware of it.
It's unbelievable milestone and it's going to be really exciting
when it happens, and it's well deserved obviously for the
guy and what he's done. But it's a cool thing
to witness and be a part of in a small way.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
You've been around him for a decade now, How incredible
is it to watch him do what he's doing after
everything he's been through.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
It's unbelievable. The consistency with him, how he fights to
get back and what he's continually able to do is
just super impressive. So it's fun to watch him be
on the outside watch it from the side.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
The curve ball seems to be the same with everything
else that seems to still be as good as it was.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, curve boll's great.
Speaker 11 (36:01):
So it's just a very unique pitch and he has
a good feel for it and his other pitches makes
his other pitches better, so obviously just part of his repertoire.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
All right, Danny, thanks a lot for checking in with us,
appreciate it. I know your record is pretty good. Filling
in for Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, what is it? You're undefeated?
Speaker 8 (36:20):
Is it?
Speaker 11 (36:20):
What about last night?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Last night? I don't think that counts. You have to
go at least five innings.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
And manage exactly exactly right, all right, at least you'll
have Will Smith catching tonight.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Finally back to back games for your all star catcher.
Just kidding. Yeah, well yeah, Willson there, thanks a lot, Danny.
I'll let you go. You got a game plan? Thanks Dave?
There he goes.
Speaker 9 (36:40):

Tim Clayton Kershaw two nine hundred and eighty eight strikeouts.

becoming only the fourth left hander in the history of
Major League Baseball to have three thousand strikeouts. He'll try
to add to that total tonight with a two to
zero record against Mackenzie Gore. Gore three and six, and
(40:31):
for Kershaw, the countdown continues and he comes off the
best start of his season.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, let's talk pitches very quickly. With Kershaw. Over the
last two years, it's one hundred and eighty one strikeouts,
one hundred and fifty two or non fastballs one hundred
and one of those one to eighty one on sliders.
The reason I mentioned that the slider was very good
the last outing. And by the way, with Mackenzie Gore,
the slider that he throws a good one. In fact,
(40:57):
he's allowed just a one thirty six batting average against
the slider and that's in the top ten and starting
pitches in baseball.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
Far as the bullpen goes tonight, the Dodgers are completely fresh,
says Dave Roberts. So they have fresh arms, including Will
Klein who has been brought up from TRIPAA Oklahoma City,
as Jack Little has been optioned back.

And you know what they're hoping. They're hoping that tomorrow
on the pregame show, we can say, hey, the bullpen
is fresh.
