Jack Flerry the pride of Burbank seven shutout innings. He scattered just two hits while striking out
six along the way. Flerity with one of his best outings of the season. He was nasty. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense jumped on the Mets starter code I singa in the first he walked the bases loaded, then with two outs, Max Munsey delivered no.

Dodgers with the big lead and they never looked back. Jack Flirty, the seven shutout innings, Daniel Hudson, Ben Kasparius each pitch to scoreless inning and relief. Dodgers take Game one of this NLCS beating the Mets last night nine to nothing. How about the Dodgers pitching now thirty three consecutive scoreless innings, tying a major league record. A quick turnaround, though, day game after a night game. Game two of the
NLCS coming up. It's Ryan Brazier as your opener. First pitch on one oh eight and with more we head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we say good afternoon and welcome in Steven Nelson Rick Monday, guys.
Great to be back with you. Tim Kates. Is a quick turnaround for the Dodgers and the Mets in Game two of this LCS. Cooler day, a much more overcast day, or beloved marine Layer blessing us here on this Monday morning. Rick and the Dodgers blessed this crowd last night with another shutout win. That's three in or zero thirty three consecutive scoreless innings. They've scored now twenty three runs since the Dodgers' staff last allowed to run. That it's the
second longest single postseason streak ever. They're just on some kind of run right now.
They're on a run. And for Dave Roberts talking about before, it's not just the pitching, which has been absolutely superb. There's no way of fans and butts about it, but the defense has been there. Offense, I thought last night very thoughtful advance and not the case with the New York Mets. I was really kind of puzzled with the Mets looking at them. I don't know what their game plan was, but what we saw was swinging early in the count and not necessarily at very good pitches early
in the count. A lot of the first pitch of swings and swings and miss on top of that, So the Dodgers said, the other part too, is they have run the bases exceptionally well to this particular point, and running the bases well, problematic for New York even down by a lot of runs at the time, down by six, a base running mistake that limits what they can do. So, yeah, the Dodgers, it's a good beginning, but it's only game one, and that is.
Well putmol It leaves me right into a next question for you, because it is just one game. And Mookie Bets did say allude to that point in his meeting with the media. He's like, look at just one down. The next number after one is two. We'll worry about later. Later, is what Mookie Betts said. Because the fact remains, the Mets can come back, throw a punch even this series tonight, and then go back home. They still hon't field advantage.
So this's just one game. Last night. It was a good one for the Dodgers, but it was just one Steve.
And I heard a great line this morning from the Dodgers outstanding historian Mark Langel. Yeah, in a pregame interview today early this morning here from a Dodger stadium, he said, and asked about game one and obviously a win for the Dodger's side, he goes, yes, but what you're climbing Mount Everest, you don't start. You don't stop halfway in high five one another. Again, there's still a long way to climb, but it is a good beginning, especially here
at home. And I think the Dodgers really absorbed the energy that was in this building last night.
And it was palpable. Hopefully there are a good number of you out there who are on your way now taking off work, ditching work, have a good excuse for work. Same can be said for your children at school to get here to Dodgers dating for games.
Just say you're doing research.
Yes exactly, it's a part of a big study and you're helping out the Dodgers organization. That's all you're doing. I mean, it's it's really your civic duty to get here for game number two. It'll be a bullpen game for the Dodgers against Sean and I of the Mets. We'll talk more about that pitch, civic and civil duty. Back to you, Tim, all.
Right, Thank you guys, as we cut you down to first pitch.

This is Kirston's corner with Kirston, Watson.
And Kirson now joined us from the stadium before Game two of this NLCS. We talked about a possible letdown in Game one. Nonsense, none of that, says the Dodgers. They scored nine runs. Jack flaerity was great and the Dodgers, O Kierson need to keep that momentum.
They really do.
I mean, yesterday was it was so much fun one watching that game. Obviously obviously seeing what Jack Clarity did on the mound, the story, just the feel good story of this guy who grew up in southern California. You grew up a Dodgers fan, you see the adorable baby photos.
And then for him to come out here be the game one starter, his first time being game one starter, actually in his postseason career, and to be able to set the tone like he did that was, I mean, it was huge for him, it was huge for this team. And then obviously he saw the offense take off and
it wasn't you know, slugging left and right. It was, you know, really quality at bats and just seeing how they passed the baton up and down, the lineup and getting on and so that is exactly what they're hoping to do today. It's kind of the same kind of blueprint, same plan, get to the starter early. Yes if Jem
and Ia. So things might look a little bit different, but that's what they're hoping to do and set the tone in this one, because you're right, you know, the foot has got to stay on the gas with this one. Obvious to the Mets, they're a very talented team. They're known for coming back and winning, and so we cannot have them do that, especially with going to New York for the next three.
Kirston's brought to you by Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get rid of your little car. Donate today, Yeah, and your car could be picked up tomorrow. Donate now Cars for Kids dot org. That's Cars with a K. The plan today a bullpen game Kurrisen and Ryan Brasier gets the first inning.
Yeah, Ryan Brazier is gonna have the start. They feel really good about the high leverage arms that they have available because yesterday, as we talked out with Jack thirty going so deep into the game, very few arms came in behind him, just Daniel Hudson and Ben Casparius. So getting a young guy some postseason experience. So for today, yes, Ryan Brazier has the start. Now, Dave Roberts did say, and we know all and this makes sense because it is a seven game series, so you know you're gonna
want to keep your arms in a good spot. And they're about to have yes tomorrow off within three days in New York, he could be seeing landon Nack taking down the bulk of this game, or at least majority of the olts in this game. Obviously, he's going to manage very aggressively, and I have to imagine especially prioritizing the top of the order so all the high leverage arms are in a good spot. I mean, everyone is
essentially available, to be honest. So we'll see just kind of how this one plays out, but there is opportunity that, you know, if landon Nack becomes out here, if he's pitching well as well, and he's efficient, then we could see him taking down quite a few innings.
If keep the momentum going, that's the most important thing. The Dodgers' bullpen needs to do that. More zeros set that MLB postseason record curs that we appreciate it. We'll check in with you after the game still to come here on Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David mat Say goes one on one with Nomar Garciapara.
What up next? We'll hear from the.
Manager himself, Dave Roberts get his pregame thoughts before Game two of the NLCS. It's the Dodgers and Mets first pitch at one O eight. I'm Tim Kasis, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Bronco Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Monday afternoon. If we're leading you up to first pitch Dodgers Mets Game two of the National League Championship Series, Morongo Casino Resort and spot a Grand Slam for good times. Ryan Brazi are the opener for the Dodgers first pitch at one o eight.
Anything else questions for Dave?
Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Can you talk about the pressure in the.
Dugouts with Dave Roberts as you met at the bopen game, like what went into starting with Brazier obviously did that in Game four for you guys.
I think with Braisee, we feel he's pretty neutral. He's done it, you know, numerous times, and you know it's it's essentially you know, deploying, you know, whatever guys we have in the pen today, but I plan on using a lot of them today. But I think with Braves, it's just more that he's done it and we feel he's neutral.
How does Nac fit into the plan for today?
He's in there. He's in there. I don't know when I'm going to run him out there, but he's definitely in there. And you know, my expectation is that he's going to take down most of the else tonight today.
And with Freddy is he is he in there today?
He's in there today, Jerson.
Dave.
I know, yesterday a lot of the conversation was about just not kind of taking their foot off the gas.
Obviously we saw what they were able to do.
How important is it though, just to carry that into a new day and into today's game.
It's it's very important, obviously, I think, you know, getting back after it a day game after night game, I think that's good for us. Yeah, I thought that we were really good early Offensively, Jack certainly set the tone. We did some little things well, and we added on the late. You know, Manai is a different pitcher than we've seen in the past dropping his arm, angle his and so it's a different kind of look, kind of liking him to a little Chris Sailish, but he's going
to compete. We got to work cut out for us, and you know, we got to take good at bets and if we can stress them and you know, make them go to their pen, then it's gonna bode really well for us.
Go to the second round the right Hey, Dave, Obviously every series is different, but with these bullpen sessions that you guys are you know, putting out there, what have you learned from the last series that you can pretty much add to with this series as far as learning and being able to be effective and get the win that you're looking for.
I think what we lear from last series is, you know, there's a lot of capable guys in the pen. They're very confident right now and so for me, certainly in a longer series that you can use these guys whenever you feel you just the level of trust is as high as ever been. I think it works, but it's working both ways.
Go to Jack on the left side, third row.
How's the Gavin doing today?
Gavin's doing okay, He'll be available off the bench in a big spot to pinch hit. I don't see him coming into play defense.
Uh.
You know, very fortunate that we have an off day tomorrow and we'll kind of see how Game three three plays out.

What we continue here on dodgors on deck, we will check in with v David Vats. He leads out to first pitch Game two of the NLCS Dodgers and Mets. I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home for the Blue All.
Season Law Law Dodgers and Mets.
Game two of the NLCS. Ryan Brazier as the opener, Shaman and Ayah goes for the Mets first pitch coming up head, what away?
Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.
All right, DV.
Freddie Freeman today got a special visit from a guest.
That's right, Freddie Freeman's youth hitting coach was here with his son, Sean Green. That's right, Sean Green throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. And his dad, Irack Green, was Freddie Freeman's hitting coach as a youth and into you know, his first couple of years in professional baseball with the Atlanta Braves. So Ira Green was taken into the clubhouse by Lon Rosen, and Freddie was pleasantly surprised that he
got to see old friend Ira Green. So great to see Sean, his dad, his wife, and his daughter out here.
A great family.
And Ira Green is still coaching the youth in Orange County just like he used to coach Freddie Freeman back in the day.
Very cool, all right, DV.
Today, what is the plan for the bullpen? I mean, Ryan braz is gonna get the start? Is this going to be a repeat of Game four the NLDS.
The way it's going to be repeated, Tim is we are not going to see the bulk innings type of pitcher, whether that be Landon Nack or Brent Honeywell, that's not what I expect after what we saw in Game four and the fact that last night Dave Roberts did not have to use his high leverage relievers because thanks to Jack Flaherty's seven scoreless and the Dodger offense putting up
nine runs. So I do believe it's going to be a repeat repeat in the fact that he is going to go with his high leverage relievers throughout this game unless it gets out of hand one way or the other.
Certainly makes sense. David is driven by four.
If there's one thing we like, its choices, Bye yours with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid, all electric tough, this mark can only be called f one fifty. This Dodger's offense, David Wow, more dynamic than ever.
Sure everybody's talking about it this morning. Tim how the Dodgers hit sixteen home runs in the NLDS to score their twenty four runs. Well, last night they scored nine runs against these Mets without hitting a home run and they had two sacrifice bunts. So really just playing their best baseball at the right time. And I know everybody likes to talk about small ball. That wasn't small ball
last night. That was smartball. And hopefully the Dodgers continue to play that way, because if they do, they are going to be a very tough team to beat the rest of the ways.
The crowd was part of it in Game five on Friday nights. Last night, in game one of this NLCS, the crowd was a big part of it. Expecting a good crowd today out there for Game two DVS.
I would expect they would tim a late riving crowd obviously Monday, even though it is a banker's type of holiday. Today, a lot of a lot of friends are here and I'm starting to see the pavilion fill up, so that's always a good sign, and the corner of the reserve levels, that's always a good tell on how big of a crowd we're going to have. And already fans are in position to cheer the Dodgers onto a Game two victory.
Can I wait, DV.

And now joined by David Bassey. Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Rick Monday, the Dodgers off to a good start in this series, and everybody is still buzzing that they scored nine runs without hitting a home run.
Yeah, and I think that they played smart baseball and they played well if you talk about small ball, but I look at it. I listened to your post game last night, and you know, I thought there was one thing he was brought up, wasn't small balls smart ball?
And they had opportunities to get runners over in the scoring position and laid down two sacrifice bunths that really helped lead to runs because the hitting came in what appeared to be a very good plan, and that was to be very patient, get some good pitches, and they outlasted. I mean, if you look at Toodei Singa and he ran into DRAMs, he walked three in a row after the first out at the bottom of the first, Dodgers wind up scoring two runs on a big, big hit
by Max Muncy. I did not think and looking at the Mets in last night's ball game, David, I did not really see a plan offensively when they came to home plate. I thought they were over anxious. They swung early in the counts and not necessarily at good pitches. I would expect them to have a better plan today. And if we look at the Mets, interesting note that they just found is that they have scored most of their runs in postseason play. In fact, twenty two of
the thirty eight have been scored against relief pitchers. And I'd bring that up because the Dodgers are starting with relief pitchers the bullpen game, and it's going to be Ryan Brazier for this game too. Of the big series. I mean, we put it in perspective in last night's a pregame. You know, this is more than just a Nashley Championship series. This is to see who goes to the World Series.
Yeah, when you think about it that way, it's more monumental, and the Dodgers feel like they're very close to doing that. But I always lean on you Rick, as a guy that has played at Dodger Stadium for many years. On a daylight today, is it going to be tough for the Dodger hitters to see the ball out of Sean Manya's left hand.
Well, he's dropped a different arm angle. You bring up a very good point. It's a different Sean and Iah than what the Dodgers have seen in the past. His arm angle release point used to be higher. He's dropped down a little bit more. Throws a lot of hoss speed pitches. And you know, one of the things I'll talk about in the free game as well, Dodgers need to be able to establish where the top of their
strike zone is. I bring that up because when I had worked very well in the upper ranges of the strike zone, and if he could get you to expand the top part, he's going to be a tough guy. Throws a lot of spin. Stave Roberts is alluding to that means breaking stuff. He'll turn it over, He'll do a lot of different things. I watched him last night as he was leaning against the top rail in the in the Mets first base dugout. He was observing everything
that Dodgers hitters did. And that's one of the things that I hear in talking to people that know Sean and I very astute in observing what's going on with hitters. And we'll see how it plays out today, Rick.
In the last series, the NLDS series, there was a controversial base running play where Freddy Freeman and threw the ball into Manny Machado's back who was on the grass. And the play that was made by Reggie Jackson against your Dodgers during the seventy seven World Series.
Seventy eight, but I don't remember much about it under the fact that Frank Pully is a second base unplier, and it was the sixth inning of Game four, Tommy came out what should have been a double play ball and for Russell's throw coming across the second base bank throw and go over to Garby at first. Jackson was the runner at first base stuck out his hip and Tommy came out and trying to plead the cases he should have been called for interference because he went out
of his way to interfere with the throw. And I thought that was really a deciding play and a call that should have been made that allowed Thurman Monthson to score from second base, and eventually the Yankees overcame a three run deficit with a four to three walk off victory in ten innings in that ballgame, and I thought and still think that that was a call that was missed.
You know, we saw a similar play where the Dodgers took advantage of a throw by Pete Alonso almost the identical setup as we saw with Machano that you were alluding to, is that where the runner was there within the baseline, within the rights of what a runner can do going down to the second base bag, and a big throwing air by Alonzo.
It's just the reminder little things like that can change not only a game, but a series.
Yeah, but you know the nineteen seventy eight that play is still a little Yeah, i'mkay offbeat as far as I'm concerned.
We'll leave it right there, please, we'll check back in with Rick Monday and Stephen Nelson once more before first pitch.
We'll send it back to Tim Katson the studio.

That's number five.
No mar garciapara, No mar I feel like you earned your playoffs share already.
I was joking with the guys on set and I said, that was the first time I ever realized how critical the ceremonial first pitch was to victories. And then we were joking around and they were laughing, but I had no part of it. Really, I mean, how fun is it watching this Dodger team? They are incredible To watch the word fight Dave Roberts w hu's quite often, but it is so fitting. I think they showed that it's one thing to say it, but it's another thing to
see it. I think the Dodger fans have all seen that so far, and we're excited because that's exactly what it's going to take. And they have been so entertaining and we should all continue to be supportive of them, and they're they're taking us on an incredible journey right now.
No, mar I thought about you last night.
You must have loved the fact the Dodgers scored nine runs without hitting a home run and there were two sacrific I spuns in the game.
Dave, I was so excited.
I'm not gonna lie on my way over here today. I was actually talking with my wife. We were talking and she's traveling. We were talking about the game, and I said, first of all, what an amazing pitching performance. I mean, just incredible by Flaharty, just so fun to watch, so in control of the poise, the execution was really a joy to watch. And I said, then from the offensive.
Side, that was just baseball. It was just an unbelievably well played.
Baseball game by the Dodgers defensively doing all the defensively pitching wise. And then from the offense side, I said, the sag bunts, recognizing how important ninety feet the clutch hits that they had. I said everything about it, and then it was a quality at bat after quality at bat every single inning, trying to find a way to maybe score at least one run in inning.
It was a great game to watch.
What do you expect today a day game? Manai has been pretty good. Do you expect that this is going to go as perfectly as it did for the Dodgers? In Game four against the Padres.
We all hope.
I can't ever doubt these odders again, because trust me, I was. I admit, yeah, there was even in Game five. I was questioning some of their decisions as far as you know yamamotas starting with either best choice based on the numbers and based on his what history over the course of this season against the Padres. But man, he silenced all those critics, which was great to see. You know, having a bullpen game, you're going, Okay, you better hope every single guy coming out of there. They did an
unbelievable job. So I don't I can't doubt them anymore. There's no nor should anybody, right, well, we just wait and see how it happens. But these guys are focused and we've seen that over the course of this last series, and I hope that continues today. And I think these guys are pulling for each other no matter somebody gets in trouble, They're going to try to find a way to pick each other up and continue to fight.
No, Mar as long as I'm here, nobody will forget how great you were. I know the fans in Boston that Boston media short change you, but you were one of the greatest shortstops and greatest hitters that this game has ever seen. And you did it in the playoffs too, So thank you. And I don't take this for granted being with you.
Oh, I appreciate David. Listen. I didn't do that for any recognition. Listen, I'm so lucky, blessed to be able to play this game. I'm so lucky and blessed to continue to be able to talk about this beautiful game. And I'm here, and I'm at home, and I'm surrounded by amazing people. I'm part of an amazing organization. I mean, nobody needs to tell me I appreciate it. Nobody needs to say or anything like that. I don't need any
of that. I just am lucky. I'm fortunate to be a part a small part of this game that I'm so happy that it'll continue on, and it's going to continue on, and that's what makes it so beautiful.
That's why Nomar is so great. Seem pre suave from Wittier. Thanks Nomar, you got it.
Dave.
Always good to talk to you there.

Before first pitch.
We head back out to the booth Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, guys, All.
Right, TC back here with MO and we're getting ready for Ryan Brasier's first pitch of Game two. Yes, Ryan Brasier opening another bullpen game for the Dodgers and Moya go back. Since the start of twenty twenty two, the Dodgers have used twenty five different bullpen games. They are
seventeen and eight in those games. This one, it doesn't sound like it's going to be the exact same roadmap that they used in Game four against the Padres, and of course, you know, it's nearly impossible to replicate that again. But Landon Nac sounds like he's ready for a bulk roll.
You know you mentioned roadmap. I don't think there has ever been a roadmap for postseason play. It's basically, you know, ready, aim five and you have to wait and see what's happening at that particular inning in that particular situation of a ballgame, and it's all hands on deck unless you have an injury. He was able to see that. Dave Roberts said earlier this morning was talking about Walker Buehler,
who was really kind of slated a pitch today. It would have been on normal rest, but they said, no, we want to hold him back and he will pitch a game one of that series where the doctors go to New York. They'll fly there tonight have the workout. So this is nothing unusual, And if you look at the trend to baseball right now, it really kind of lends itself more to basically, let's figure out how we're going to hopscotch through the ballgame and use the arms and bullpen.
On the other side, a more traditional starter for Carlos Mendoza in the New York Mets at the veteran lefty Sean Mania. The Dodgers are familiar with him and that they have seen him over the years. But Dave Roberts put it perfectly in his pregame session with the media, this is a different Sean Maniya. He's dropped his arm slot that has led to more success. The fastball velocity's there. You see a ton of spin from him as well.
Dave Roberts both the name Chris Sale and talking about the new Sean Maniah who's been a huge piece for them throughout the year.
Yeah, and he was a big observer last night's ball game, deceiving fastball. The other part two is doctors have to be able to understand where the top of their strength zone is because he elevates the fastball. Maniah does very well and as you mentioned, a lot of spin that means breaking balls. He'll change speeds on top of it. And with that different arm angle, the Diners had to go to some video and see a different Sean Manian.
Hopefully they have some good results against Manai, because again game one was great, a nine to nothing, shout out win. You're feeling great, but it was just one game. The Dodgers still need three more in this LCS, and they need to win to night to maintain home field advantage. Going to Queens, and keep in mind the New York Mets. They have not lost back to back games in more than two weeks. They've been the best best team in baseball for the better part of four and a half
months now. For a good reason, Tim so a good one on tap. Hope the bullpen comes through once more.
All right, Ryan Brazier takes them man.
When we come back after the game, I'll be back with all the postame festivities, including Dodger talk and all the reaction from the clubhouse after this Dodgers met.
