Dodgers on Deck (3-31-25)

Now your host walking you up to first pitch. It's Tim Kains.

Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Marongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck. You hope you're enjoying this cool, overcast, rainy at times Monday night. You're world champion Los Angeles Dodgers five and zero to start this season. After an opening weekend that including the unveiling of the World Series banner and the sweep of the Detroit Tigers, the Dodgers are back at it with the start of a three game set against the Atlanta Braves tonight. Tyler Glass now on the mound.

Two to one and this one down the third. That's a fair ball. It's gonna roll in the foul territory. There comes Confordo on this score. Otani's rounding third. He's coming to the plate, the throws lay.

He's in safely.

It's a two up, two run double for Tatasker Hernandez and the Dodgers lead.

At Ford to two run double for Tale. That's the top tier play the game, brought to by Arco quality, top tier gas for less Dodgers of four to two. In the sixth, they added to that Will Smith a solo home run, his first of the season, Dodgers of five to two. Then in this seventh Dodgers of five to three, when Tommy Edmund got the home run.

Fun continuing and Edmund patting left handled against Ken tom Mayada, the former Dodger, and Tommy swings and hits a drive deep right center of that bull is back.

It has gone.

Home run Tommy with another tank.

His third home.

Run of the season of the Dodgers lead at six to three.

Oh, how do you like it?

Tommy Edmond with a.

Flash to greet kent to Mayeta, the new Detroit pitcher.

Solo home run for Tommy Edmond, his third of the season, Dodgers a six to three lead, and they weren't done. Later in the inning, Freddy Freeman an RB double scoring show Hey Dodgers a seven to three lead. The offense more than enough. Even with the short out from Roki Sasaki, the Dodgers bullpen had to cover seven and a third innings. They were great, all of them, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out eleven. Dodgers going to

Guys, thank you Tim here with Rick Monday nineteen eighty one World Series champion and mo your team began that campaign six to zero here in twenty twenty five. This Dodgers team trying to follow suit in a couple of ways, right, winning the first six games and then also winning the very last game of the year.

Yeah, and I think if you look at the Dodgers a lot of different reasons. They are five and oh to start with, and just having swept that series against the Tigers. The offensively and not a high batting average, but very effective when needed to be and collect base hits. And the pitching has been right on the money. Starting pitchers still trying to stretch things out. The bullpen has

Well for Atlanta, I guess if you're trying to find a silver lining, oh, we started that twenty twenty one year over or the winning.

The World Series.

So we'll see if they can finally turn things around. One thing we do want to say, both teams are going to be without two presumptive members of their starting lineup. First, let's get to the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman, of course, facing his old team, Well, he's not in the lineup for this series opener. Dave Roberts told the media there was a mishap in the shower for Freddy at home and

Thank you long term also, Stephen, because they want Freddy Freeman for the long term of the season. And if that means missing a game or two or three, maybe even the rest of this homestand there's another travel day in between, going on that road trip to Philadelphia and then to our nation's capital, that's all well and good. They can afford to do that for another three games very very easily. And in the meanwhile, it's going to be k k Hernandez starting at first base today, So

Yeah, it would be Jerks and profile o old nemesis of the Dodgers from last year with the Padres of course, and mister irrelevant to from that first series with Will Smith the exchange and Profar. Look, you had a career year in twenty twenty four, parlaid that into a multi year contract with the Braves. But today he was handed an eighty game ped suspension tested positive for hCG, which, according to the reports of the experts out there and

Roster in today's game, And knowing full well what is accepted and not accepted, and you've got medical staff and you've got agents, it's inexcusable, is just that Unfortunately? Okay, fine, ded the test is administered, move him off the sideline.

Yep, all right, We're gonna hit the sideline as well, Tim and get it back to you when we talk to you next. So we'll get into Tyler Glass now is making his season debut tonight.

Yeah, you're right right now, it's not his favorite place whatsoever. He We all know he had to have surgery this offseason on that right ankle to repair it, the injury that happened at the end of lasher in the regular season, So you know, he was in a pretty good spot when it came to that ankle, just feeling so much better. But unfortunately, like you said, he did slip over the weekend in the shower.

It just tweaked it.

Now that being said, we know Freddie Freeman. He wants to get in the lineup every single day. He's a guy you can guarantee who's going to post when you need him. He wanted to be back out there today. Dave Roberts even said that he felt like he was good enough to go today, but they just want to give him this evening. He's day to day right now, continue to see how he feels because it was a surgically repaired ankle and it doesn't make sense to push it if you don't need to. So we'll keep an

Big story in baseball over the weekend. Certainly the Dodgers five and OH Padres four and OH Yankee scored thirty six runs in three games in their series over the weekend. And there's a new bat in baseball that's creating a buzz.

It's called the torpedo bat.

And so what has been explained to me of this, you know, one in my lifetime torpedo bat, is that it's the sweet spot is a little bit moved down so that for guys who get jammed a lot, it just puts it so that more weight of the barrel is in that spot, making that the sweet spot. So now this bat feels like it came out of the blue for all of us. And I've asked what the players this as well, and they kind of feel like

New is always fun, certainly in a game of baseball here, so I appreciate it. We'll check in with you after the game. Still they come here on Wrango Casino Dodgers on Deck. We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. David Vadego's one on one with Eric Carrolls up next, so we'll get you an injury report and we'll hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts.

Freddie Freeman not in the lineup tonight as we've been mentioning more on that coming up as well. Throughout the Dodgers on deck pregame and during

Do you questions for Dave?

Dave?

Can you just describe Dave?

Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave?

He had a little mishap in the shower, Uh, entering the shower the bathtub and so slipped and it was kind of it's the same ankle and so day to day and kind of swelled up a little bit. Not Able to play tonight. Happened Uh two days ago or yeah, or was it yesterday? Maybe yesterday, I think it's or Sunday night something like that or Saturday night something like that.

Was Dave, What can you tell us about torpedo bats?

You know what, I guess it's just crazy. I just haven't dug into it. It's certainly early and there's kind of people talking about it, but I don't think any of our guys swing that bats, So I'm not sure what it is. Yeah, I just saw a picture of it, but I don't know, you know, the benefits. I don't really know who's using them. I haven't really spent too much time on it.

Is it surprising to you that, you know, after so many years of you know, making, that they're still kind of finding these new ways to like improve them.

It's uh, I wouldn't say totally surprising. I guess it's surprising in one sense where baseball is very tradition driven, but I do think that trying to figure out any competitive advantage maximize something a product is not a bad thing, and so certainly nowadays there's a lot more open minded players to kind of if it gives them a chance to perform better.

All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about everybody else around baseball's talking about torpedo bats and certainly Freddy Freeman's ankle. But he tweaked over the weekend. As we continue here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we will check out with David Vass saying as we lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers and Braves Championship of Footy night out of Dodger Stadium, first pitch of seven ten, I'm Tim Kates's the world champion, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home for the Blue All Season Law.

It's the Dodgers and Braves on this Monday and night. Tyler Glass now Grant Holmes a pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at seven ten.

Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.

I accept everybody for who they are.

This is Dodger insider David Basse.

All right, David, looks like the shower wasn't a safe place for Freddy Freeman over the weekend.

Yeah.

Unfortunately for Freddy, he had a slip in the shower. I mean when you hear mishap, I mean, that's what you immediately think. And look, Freddie's had to deal with that right ankle since he had surgery on it, and even before as we know, and he was very candid with us in spring training where he said, it's going to have to be managed.

I might even have to miss day games after night games.

And look things happened, I mean, right, but it's the ankle hasn't just magically gotten better. It's been swollen like a cantalope. After every one of these games, most players probably would have sat out and been on the il, but Freddy wants to be out there. And that's what makes Freddy Freeman the great player that he is, not only what he does on the field, but the fact that he wants to be out there every day.

David has turned by four. There's one thing we like. Its choice is fine yours with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough. This mark can only be called F one fifty and the Yankee scored thirty six runs in a three game series over the weekend. The talk of baseball right now what they're using at the plate torpedo bets.

Yeah, it's just a weight distribution that is a little bit different. I guess they had an mit nerd for lack of a better turn a term, be able to kind of identify where these Yankee hitters hit the baseball the most, and it's not usually on the traditional sweet spot. So they redistributed the weight of the bat and it's

It's the big part of it.

They have track man, they have a lot more info on what they're doing and all that, and we don't capt the bat up to this point, so it's a little bit like less known on our end. So I think guys are gonna try it. I mean, how do you not right?

I will say this, Tim that I do remember back in twenty twenty one, the Dodgers kind I had Cody Bellinger hooked up to all this machinery because they were trying to fit him like he would if you go to a golf store for customized golf clubs. They were trying to do that back then in twenty one with Cody Bellinger. But it's a field thing for a lot of hitters. It may make practical sense, but guys just don't like the feel of it. But we'll see how many hitters turned to whatever the Yankees are doing.

Jerks and Profar Dodger is certainly familiar with him with the Padres incident in left field last year. He is now in Atlanta brave, but he will be playing for very long.

Hey, or Tim orl Herscheizer just stepped in with his brand new right hip into the booth.

Here.

He's got his beautiful blue navy blue blazer. Are you wearing his replica jersey right now? Back in the studio? We all want to know, I am not. No, Unfortunately, that's disappointing. Disappointing, Well, Orl's not disappointed. Jerks and Profar

Any buzz about Rookie Suzaki's outing on Saturday seemed to be.

There's no crying in baseball.

That's the buzz to Tim on that sounds good.

But no.

Honestly, the one question I want to have with Mark Pryors because I saw a breakdown earlier today with Mark Durosa on Nick Pavetta, and he was explaining how Pavetta is a north and south type of pitcher, and those type of pitchers usually set up from the first base side of the pitching rubber. Sazaki, I went back to look at the film. He's pitching from the third base side of the pitching rubbers, so you know, all these playo balls and everything else.

I'm wondering if something as simple.

As moving to the opposite side of the pitching rubber can help him find command of his pitches. So I'll get on that and we'll have the answer for you in the next couple of days.

All right, Scoop Vessay is on the case and I'm gonna be back reporting in the next couple of days.

Thank you.

DV.

One two off speed pitches hit well and left indep Colnick back to the track, Klnick.

And now joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday Rack.

It's the Dodgers and Braves.

One of these teams does not have a loss, and one of these teams does not have a win.

Yeah, and I don't think we need to put our hands up and vote on the end of them. It's been a start for the Atlanta Braids. They come on. They were swept in that series down in San Diego, including last night, They've been shut out each the last two nights. They've had difficulty once they had been able to get runners on base, and they only had one hit in last night's ball game. By the way, then you look at the flip side of the coin for the Dodgers, yes, five and oh they went six and oh.

But I think more I know somebody that played on that team.

Yeah, I heard a rumor there were a couple of guys that played on that team too. But I started to analyze really kind of the reason they've been able to get there. The pitching has been there. The bullpen has been sensational. If you look at all five games to this particular point. Starting pitching, there's still kind of measuring things out a little bit more. The hitting has been very, very timely, So we'll find out what's going

When I was looking up this serious matchup and I saw that number or the Braves have been against the Padres with runners in scoring position. I thought about one person, and that was you, Rick Monday.

Yeah, because the Dodgers have done a better job than that. Here's the other part. If we're talking about runners in scoring position again, we'll talk about it during the game a little bit more. The Dodgers are ten for thirty three, and talk about what the pitching has done. The opposing hitters in that four game series against the Chicago Cubs, opposing hitters in this homestand just six for forty six.

Rick, You and I haven't talked about this.

I know Otani and Betts and Freeman get all the attention, but how vital is Taoscar Hernandez and Tommy Edmond to this team.

I love the fact that Dave Roberts mentioned Taoscar Tax because he's talking about how you're going to manipulate the lineup. We saw Tiascar hitting the number three spot against lefties he's going to be there again tonight, not in front of Freddie Freeman, the lefty, in front of Michael Conforto, because Freddy Freeman is not able to go because of an injury. If you will at home, so expected to

That's right. It feels like there is no exhaling for a poster.

There's not a moment that you say, hey, put another quarter in the parking meter, although I don't know if you can. You have to put multiple quarters in parking meters nowadays, but I don't think if you look at this Dodger lineup, it will also have key Key Hernandez at first base in place of Freddy Freeman. There is not one spot in this Dodge your line I freaky say, Okay,

And maybe that's part of the reason why Andy pa has is the number nine hitter to try to turn that lineup over, David.

If we look at last year, there were two guys in this Dodger ball club that had more advanced with runners in scoring position than any two players in baseball, Will Smith and Max Bunsei. Why because the guys in front of them got on base a lot.

All right, Rick, thanks a lot for Sharon. It's going to be an exciting season. We're just getting started.

Okay, good to see it, Pal.

Hey, don't peak too soon. Rick, we'll send it back to you in the studio.

Tim.

Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by zen She hand Crafted Sushi. It's the best getting you ready for a game tonight. I want to enjoy a little sushi Zench hand crafted sushi. You need a quick, affordable meal for the whole family.

David and now what will likely be vasse fielding insults from a Dodger player.

It's an engagement of endearment.

This is high and tight.

The Dodgers are back in action tonight.

We're at Dodgers Stadium as the Braves are in town zero to four after getting swept in San Diego, and I'm joined right now by a San Diego native, but he made his bones in Los Angeles. The all time LA Dodger home run leader and Rookie of the Year circa nineteen ninety two, and now a television star on Sportsnet LA.

That's the one and only Eric Carros. Thanks a lot for the time.

Absolutely, what do you mean circa nineteen ninety two? It was either nineteen ninety two or not. It wasn't around ninety two, but yes, thank you for the introtro, Dave.

And then nineteen ninety three you were eclipsed by Mike Piazza, and.

Then Mondasi and then Nomo and who else? Hollinsworth. Yeah, that was quite a little run.

Hey, Speaking up Nomo, you were teammates with him when he made his debut. You were teammates with him when he pitched a no hitter at Coors Field. What was it like being his teammate compared to what we're experiencing now?

Well, I think, look at what we're experiencing now is next level, you know, show hate playing every day?

I mean and you're.

Talking about arguably the greatest baseball player to ever walk. And when I say that doesn't mean he's the greatest hitter or but baseball player, pitching, hitting, all of those sort of things. And then the experience we had in Japan so a little different. But without Nomo, none of this happens, no question, in my mind, none of this happens.

And he came over and really had.

The weight of the country on his shoulders, and he came over and just took this place by storm, and it was great to be a part of.

I know, major leaguers, you know hear the high but if you're his teammate or opponent, you want to make him prove it.

When did you know that he had the stuff?

I mean, really just from the get go. Two things.

Obviously the stuff, you know, the way he threw the wind up was unique, and then threw that splitter forkball which was unhittable. But the thing that probably at least endeared me the most to him was his competitiveness and the fact that this dude would take the ball no

Hideo Nomo, like many Japanese players, is very stoic on the mound. There was no panic, no matter what the situation. What was he like in the clubhouse behind the scenes.

I mean he was pretty much the same.

I mean he would laugh and joke around when he wasn't pitching at him, and there was another pitcher, Ishmael valde As. Those two would always kind of joke around, and you know, Hdeo would be more animated, but when it came time to pitch, you couldn't tell, you know, if he was throwing a no hitter or if he'd run into some trouble. And like I said, though, the ability to just or the desire to take the ball no matter what, whenever I gain it was on parallel. Eric Harrows is our guest.

He was playing first base in Denver, Colorado when Hideo Nomo pitched the one and only no hitter ever at Coors Field. Your former teammate Tim Wallack likes to remind me he was at third base and hit a home run in that game. Is that one of the greatest pitching feats we have seen in the last thirty plus years.

I don't know that.

That'll ever be duplicated, just obviously with the way the ball travels in the expanse of outfield.

But to Hideo's credit, that was a game that we had.

I want to say, it was almost a two hour rain delay before we started. And just to prove his point, not only did he pitch a no hitter there, but at the time he also a few years later he pitched when at Camden Yards, which again was probably one of the most hit or friendly ballparks. It's not now so much they move the fences back, but for a guy to throw a no hitter at Camden and Coors Field, I mean, thats not happening again.

The Tornado hde Onoma was Eric Carros's teammate. Let's fast forward to twenty twenty five. Shoe Heotani threw his first bullpen session on Saturday. Do you see him pitching anytime before the.

All Star break? And do the Dodgers need him to?

No?

And no, it would be the answer to that, right, I mean the bottom line, and you want him as far as organizations concerned, you just want him ready for the postseason and him to be at his best. Now, that's going to be up to him and the staff and training staff, coaches, you know, when he starts that process. But I got to believe that that is the what everything is built around. How is he going to be at his best in the postseason and whatever they determined, that'll determine when he throws.

But is there a need for it? I mean no, there's no need for him to throw. There's no need for.

About five guys to throw because they got, you know, a great staff up here. They got another five in Triple A. They got another three or four on the ield, so pitching is not an issue.

We'll see you in Philly, and I know you're you're gonna be starving yourself between now and our dinner on Thursday.

I will not eat that whole day until you're treating me for dinner.

He will not let me forget he picked the Dodgers, I unfortunately picked the Phillies emotionally last year. Thanks a lot for the time and can't wait to be on the road with the great Eric Carros.

Thanks Dave and.

Guys, All right, TC, back here with Rick Monday one more time before first pitch, and well, I think before the year, this early season series was circled on the calendar for a lot of baseball fans and viewers because the Dodgers and Braves, according to some betting markets, had the best odds to win this World Series. But both

And do not discount the offense of the Atlanta Braves they're gonna catch fire. They have some guys that can swing the bat. But for glass Now, we saw him in Anaheim on Monday against the Angels. He went five innings, one run, only two hits. And if we look back to even last year before Glassnow went on the injured list, he began to throw that sinker a lot more than he had in the recent years. In fact, you have to go back to twenty seventeen. Nois that the Pittsburgh

Very quickly.

I predicted before the game, and then we saw during the game a lot more breaking stuff and very effective with the breaking stuff. We'll see if we repeat that tonight.

Well, they're in the spring. Eleven innings for glass Now struck out nineteen batters and had just two walks. He's trying to be more athletic and prevent himself from flying open with his delivery.
