And now your host for Morongo Casino Dodgers on Tech, Tim kayse Hi, everybody, and welcome in too, Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Hope you're well on this Saturday night, your Los Angeles Dodgers thirty six and twenty three on this season. After a sweep of the Mets in New York, did Dodgers return home last night only to fall to the lowly Rockies. Tonight they look to jump start the offense yet again, get back on track. Yoshi
Yamamoto on the mound, game two of this three game weekend series. First pitch from Dodgers Stadium is coming up at seven to ten. Between then and now, we got a lot to get to here. On'm Arago Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes one on one with Dodger reliever Anthony Bonda. Shortly, we'll check in with Kirsten Watsa. We'll get your ol
Tawny Rewind. Then in just a few minutes we'll check in with Rick Monday and Tim Never at the Gallpin motors of broadcast booth. Well last night at the Ravine, Bueller got into trouble and didn't get the help he needed on defense. Walker Buehler six up and down innings for the right hander. He'd give up four runs on six hits while striking out seven, but also walked
for. Bueller got out of a basis loaded jam in the top half of the first inning, striking out Chris Bryant and Brendan Rodgers to end the inning. And the third though Walker Buehler again flirting with danger runners on first and second with two outs, when Chris Bryant, this time single to left to give the Rockies a one to nothing lee. The next batter, Brendan Rodgers Brian handed hitter waits, Bueller deals and the ball swung on hit the center
field of base het and then comes McMahon. It gets past Pajz and rolls to the wall. Bryant's gonna come around to score. Oh what a terrible time for that to happen, as the Rockies now leaded three to nothing.
McMahon scores, Bryant scores, an eer on Pajz on the routine played a center field Brandon Rodgers with the single des center than misplayed by Andy Poees and rolls to the wall that brought in two runs Rockies a three to nothing leading the fourth, Rockies added at another Ezekiel Tovar a solo home run to left off walker Bueller. The Rockies were up four to nothing. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense, they were quiet until the bottom of the eighth when it finally
got something going a lead off double by Gavin Lucks. Rojas walked. Andy pot has single to center that loaded the bases for Mookie one oh and Lookie hits the ground ball to short charge. Bike Tovar flips the Rogers one on to first double play. Lucks comes in to score, and that's a very tough trade to make this late in the ballgame. Two for one and it's now a four to one ball game. Well, Mookie Betts grounds into the
old six four to three double play, but they score a run. That's the top tier play of the game, sponsored by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. Dodgers looking to cash in more, but they could. Two batters later, Freddie Freeman would strikeout to end the threat. Dodgers would go in a order in the bottom of the ninth and that was it. The Rockies. The last place Rockies come in and win the series opener last night four to one. Dakota Hudson was really good for seven plus innings.
He was one and seven coming in. You wouldn't know the way he pitched last night, Walker Bueller the loss. Dodgers fall to thirty six and twenty three. Tonight they look to get back on track. Tyler Glassnew Bobblehead Night. Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound, first pitch of seven ten and with more than sad out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth. As we say hello to Rick Monday and Tim Never guys, Tim, thank you very much. Gorgeous night for a ballgame here at Dodgers Stadium. As we get ready for Game
two of this three game series the Rockies and the Dodgers. Last night, the Rockies pulled out a four to one win over the Dodgers. Dakota Hudson pitched the game of his season for sure, and Walker Bueller did not. And that was one of the big differences. It was a three run third inning that was the difference, but a couple of other things that were the difference Usually we're looking at the bottom of the order and how they hit,
but last night it was the top of the order and then some. The one through six hitters for the Dodgers last night were only one for twenty three. That's an forty three average. And when those guys aren't going, the Dodgers aren't going. Yeah. And the other thing too. You mentioned Dakota Hudson. He was simply spot on in the seventh endings one run on the four hits. It was amazing the Dodgers. I don't know if it was a lack of not making adjustments or just that real good sinker and Dakota Hudson.
I mean, you start to look at the twenty seven outs, thirteen of those the result of ground balls that were hit to the infield. So the Dodger ball club frustrated last night, and also frustrated you start to look at the fact they've lost now six of the last nine games, and in those six losses, they've averaged just two and a half runs a game. That is well below what this Dodger ball club's accustomed to doing. So today, early at the ballpark, the Dodgers had a group of players from the
bottom of the order out. They're working on bunting of all things, and maybe that's in the game plan. Maybe we'll see that as a way where some of these hitters will try to get on base. Yeah, I know the metrics are kind of going away from bunting in a lot of organizations. Most organizations feel well, if you're kind of giving away an out. Possibly,
I think that applies if you're talking about sacrifice bunts. But I still believe that if guys are struggling and have a little bit of speed at all, with the defensive alignments that we see, we're playing so deep, I think bunting can be a weapon instead of an inconvenience. One of the things about show Hey O Johnny, We've got to look at over the last thirteen games or so, he's only ten for fifty one with twelve strikeouts. Now,
he's still putting up good numbers. His numbers are still among the elite hitters in all of Major League Baseball. But he's cooled off, of bit Oh, he's cooled off. I think he's also expanded the strike zone a little bit, in particular with the breaking balls that are inside, and we're seeing him pull off a little bit more. He says that that left hamstring
the issue that had caused some problems for him running. He says, it doesn't bother him for the swing, but I'm seeing a different swing now since the bruise to the back of the left hand string, and I don't know if it's bothering him. He says, it doesn't, but it's a different
approach that we're seeing right now. One thing Dave Roberts talk to the press about today in the dugout mall is he is considering splitting up the left handers at the top of the order, perhaps at some time against lefties, having somebody else hid in between Otani and Freeman. Yeah, and it works also for ball clubs right now that have multiple left handers in their bullpend because they can kind of save them and if they get in the jam, they've got
two left handers back to back. He spreads it out tonight. If you look at Gavid looks he's batting in the number six spot. Jason Hayward has moved down to the number eight spots. So you have a right hander Andy pat has in between two lefties. Wouldn't be a bad deal either. The question would be Okay, who do you put in the number two slot? Or who do you put in the three slot? Do you flip flop Freeman and Smith? Smith and the cleanup spot again, interesting scenario that Dodgers fortunately
have something to work with. And you mentioned earlier about the bottom third of the lineup. We're beginning now to see kind of a rejuvenation of the hitting and hopefully that trend is going to get even stronger and stronger. The Rockies are twenty one and thirty five and they're looking for their first series win at Dodger Stadium since the beginning of August in twenty eighteen. The Dodgers meantime in
first place in the last thirty six and twenty three. They've lost six of their last nine, but they have won thirty five of the last forty five against Colorado here at Dodger Stadium. Tim, all right, as we cut you down to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game day meal on at Shaky's Pizza Parlor. What are your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and Mojo's right now at shakys dot com.

But up next your Otani rewind and we'll visit with Kirsten Watson. It's all coming up as we lead you up to Dodgers and Rockies from the Ravine. First pitch is seven ten. Thanks for being with us
on this Saturday night. I'm Tim Kays's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on the Dodgers on deck y'all on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball, Dodgers and Rockies, Yoshi Yamamoto, Cal Quantrill the pitching matchup Game two of this three game set. First pitch coming up at seven ten. This is the Otani rewhy. Dodgers lost to the Rockies last night four to one. You heard Tim mentioned the top of the lineup last night was
not very productive. Mookie Bets oh for four, Freddie Freeman was oh for four, showho Tani last night and our Otani Rewind goes for three with a walk, but he's still hitting three twenty six on this season. The Otani Rewind brought to by eto ins Oiocha, Japan's number one green tea, available at your local Dizol stores, Amazon and etoen dot com. That's it, O E N dot com. This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. Hey, Kirston now join us US from the standing before game two of this three
game series. Big news before the game though, Keirston a Clayton Kershaw sighting on the mound. Yeah, he threw a sim game through one inning that up to about twenty pitches, came out of it feeling really good. I spoke to him pretty you know, immediately after, and we just talked about kind of where he's at right now. This was his first time facing hitters since having surgery, and he just has continued to feel really good just with
how he's recovering. He knows that he's fully healthy at this point, so that's kind of the first key. Now it's for him just about building up and he's feeling really confident. That look, one inning today and about five to six days another inning and so just continuing with that build up process.
So he was saying, like, not necessarily putting an exact timeline on it, but if you're just looking at building up an inning each week five to six weeks, he should be at about six innings and that's kind of where you want to be. Obviously, it depends on where the team is at and things like that, how his stuff looks. But he's feeling really good.
Dave Roberts even said that he's technically ahead of schedule, you know, and so just to get some eyes on him for him to have his first SIM game here at Dodger Stadium, I think all of that just being around the team, said, he's going to be around a little bit more now that the kids are it's summertime, they're out of school. So he's definitely looking forward to because now he said, it's time to lock in. He's getting ready for baseball season. This is like spring training for him essentially for
this Dodgers team. There at the two month point now of this twenty twenty four season was the assessment from Dave Roberts. Yeah, he was talking a lot about just kind of where either individuals are at are kind of different parts of the order, So he started with the bottom of the order. You know, the last couple of weeks, especially this last week, we'll say they've really gotten things going, you know, just putting really good at bats
together, setting the table for the top of the order. The top of the order has been for the most part, very consistent. And that's especially with saying, like even Freddie Freeman has talked to us about feeling like he's kind of like treading water. He doesn't really feel like he's broken out just yet, hasn't had that like hot streak, hasn't been feeling like he likes
to during the season. So considering the numbers still look really good, what he's batting two eighty six right now, and so the fact that those are his numbers and he doesn't really feel like he's kind of gotten on to the start he's wanted to, I think that's very telling as to who he is. So Dave kind of just talked a little bit about that. I know, we've talked about the starting pitching, seeing guys go deep into the game. That's been huge this year. So just things like that, But overall
he feels it's a crazy thing that it's June first. We are now two months into this season, but he's very He's pleased with what he's been seeing from the group as a whole. So far, so good for the Dodgers. Need to keep it up with this lead in the division. Kirsten, We appreciate it. Well. Check out with you after the game, Dodger fans and hans.

I'm Tim Kasis, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. This is Marongo Cassino Dodgers hunting on your
home for La Dodgers Baseball. Maroango Casino Dodgers on decades to use on this Saturday night. As we lead you up the first pitch at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers and Rockies, Marogo Casino Resort and Spot ran Slam for good Times, Yoshi I'm a Mooto and Cal Quantrell. The pitching matchup. First pitch coming
up at sevent ten. It's the LA Dodger Injury Report, present of by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Max Munsey Grade one oblique train, Joe Kelly on the I L with the shoulder strain, Ryan Brasier on the I L at the right cap strain. Bobby Miller on the IEL at the shoulder inflammation. He's on a minor league rehab assignment as we speak in Rancho Cucamonga. So far in the third inning, pitcher Connor Brogden
out with planter fasciitis. Clayton Kershaw, Brusdar Gratterol, Kyle hurt, Tony Gonsolin, Dustinmate all on the ill of an update on Clayton Kershaw coming up and that she had done for the season with Tommy John surgery. Let's check in with though the Dodger skipper. The questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts. My vantage point, I thought it was it was good.
I think he touched eighty eight, which was great to see. I thought he used don't I don't remember a curveball, but I think he was fastball slider, and we got out of it what we hope for. He came out of for feeling good, feeling strong, and he was you know, had no tentativeness. So that was a real positive today. And you know his next one will be two innings in Rancho. Do you see this just as kind of interlead progression to build up? Is that kind of focus right
now considering continues to feeling healthy. Yeah, I think so. You know, right now we're way ahead of schedule, so I think that's really encouraging. So I think just you know, every event that happens, just continued to move forward and build on the positives. So you just said that he's going out on a rehab game, that's the next I think it's going to be that. No, I think it's going to be a simulated game in Rancho. I think when we're on the road, Gotch, I think because
we're leaving, so I think it's a two inning sim game. There. Where is this headed as far as just the process for him to come back? Where are we at? You know, I don't know. I think that if you're talking about spring training, uh, you know, it's still going to be it's still you know. I think for me, it's like the six weeks is something where it's probably fair if you're looking at the progression of a picture, you know, doing his first day in spring training,
the second day of pictures and catchers essentially doing a one inning situation. So then you're talking about six weeks. But obviously with Clayton where we're going to kind of read and react. But I think there's still going to be a you know, a consistent process. All right. There's Dave Robbers down the Doug Gout brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a Titan in his own right. He's got a plan before his team hits the field.

Coming up, we will check in with David vat Say who talked to Clayton Kershall will find out more and a big night for Tyler Glass now as the six six to one representing at Dodger Stadium. We'll check out with DV when we come back, leading him to Dodgers and Rockies from the ravine. I'm Tim Kasi's Los Angeles
Dodgers Audio Network. This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Tap on your home for the Blue All Season Law. It's the Dodgers and Rockies on this Saturday night. Yoshiyamamoto on the Mount. It's Tyler glassnew bumble ahead night. More on that in a second, First Bitch coming up at sevent ten, joining Tim kits on Dodgers on Tack. I except everybody for who they are.
This is Dodger insider David Bassi. All right, Davie, we just heard from the manager Dave Roberts talking about Clayton Kershaw and the game that he pitched the day out there on the Mount. You got some more information about that and what do you accomplish out there? Yeah? Number one. When I went into the clubhouse after Kershaw was done with his simulated game, his lockers right next to Austin Barnes, who caught one of his bullpen sessions. Two
homestands ago and was one of the hitters at face Kershaw. And when Kershaw came back to his locker, I feel like he was annoyed because and frustrated because it's not going to be like it was in the middle of last season. He's not going to have that same command. And you could tell that he was frustrated with the process today. And Chris Taylor also was one of the hitters at face Kershaw. In fact, Chris Taylor hit a home run off of Clayton Kershaw. I think you would tell you it was probably a
little rusty. He was missing his spots more than normal. I think I saw three pitches a fastball up and then he tried to change off in the dirt, and then he left a fastball over in the middle of played against me. So I don't know how hard it was throwing, but it looks like it was coming out pretty good. We found out after that it was
eighty eight miles an hour on the fastball. Also, one of the hitters facing Kershaw was the Dodgers Number one draft pick from a year ago, Kendall George, who made the drive from Rancho Kucka Maunga and Kershaw did use his curveball on George and we were all commenting he was not ready for that because he was bailing out on a really great classic Kershaw twelve to six. And like I mentioned earlier, Tim I was in the clubhouse talking to Kershaw and
Austin Barnes, and Kershaw kind of put me on the spot. He said, Hey, what's going on? I said, I was watching? He said, yeah, what'd you think? I said, I'm not an expert. I'll see you later. Good job, dad, David driven by Ford F series his best selling trucks for forty seven years in counting. Ford gives you freedom of choice gas hybrid electric head to your Southern California Ford Dealers and find yours Ford F Series built Ford a tough, awesome town, Valencia,
Santa Clarina. Represent a Knight at Dodger Stadium, dB. Yeah, how about this? The Heart High School coach Jim Mozella, who is retiring after this year, was Tyler Glassnow's high school baseball coach at Heart High and he texts me that over two one hundred Heart Baseball supporters are attending Tonight's Tyler Glassnow Bobblehead Night, and in fact about an hour ago, Tyler glassnow was on
the field signing autographs for the Division two CIF Southern Section champions. And so Tyler glassnow is going to have a lot of supporters a little awkward right now on the field because Dino ebols sons Brady and Trey, who played for Corona, who won their CIF Division One championship, is on the field while the hard high school Division two champions are right next to them on the field. So maybe we should get a pre game exhibition, maybe three or five innings
between these two high school teams. I would take Corona. They would smoke him, no doubt about that day. By the way, home run double, that was a lot of controversy in that more that would, you know, spark a more controversy. But they're here as the champs. Dave the bottom of the lineup. We talk about the slump that they've been an offensively hit her six through nine, five, ninth. It's not just them that are slumping, is it. No? Actually, shoe Hey Otani is in
a slump right now. In his last fifteen games, his betting average has dropped thirty six points. And we asked Dave Roberts as you heard earlier, whether or not it was related to his hamstring, you have to imagine something's going on with him physically to be as hot as he was to all of a sudden fall off the cliff in Cincinnati and not recover since. Also, Mookie Bets, Tim, who hit thirty nine home runs as the Dodger leadoff hitter last year, has only eight home runs this year and only two home
runs in his last one hundred and forty nine at bats. That's alarming, so we'll keep an eye on that as the season moves forward. Here. All right, Dave, time now to pick the Ponies Dodger derby at Santa Anita Park. We're gonna pick Sunday's fourth race at sant Anita six and a half furlongs on the turf.

Rick, the Dodgers and Rockies back in harness, as you like to say, tonight and the Dodger Bats are hoping to wake up. Yeah, and they're in harness and tonight we're going to bring out the whip. Okay, we'll do that. Get that pony running a little bit better. That was a terrific game,
quite frankly, that the Coda Hudson threw against the Dodgers. People say, well, what about the offense that didn't do anything. I was looking at the pitches that the Coda Hudson threw. He was absolutely outstanding. He was very good in his previous outing, one of the better outings that he's had the entire seasons. He picked up his sixth victory and make that second victory of the season, and for Walker Buehler, not a bad outing overall.
I know he was not happy with it, but I think if you look in the big picture, he's not happy with the four walks that he issued. But he looked out of sink last night. But he was still able to compete very very well. But it was a night that Dodgers did not give him any wiggle room with scoring runs. Well that's the question, right Rick, to a guy that never played the game at this level. Was it more the Dodger hitters or was it more Dakota Hudson last night? Oh
well, I think it was a combination of both. I thought, again, Hudson, in my estimation, through one of the better games we've seen thrown against them all year long. From a thoughtful standpoint, it was not overpowering. It's not one hundred miles an hour. It's ninety one maybe ninety two. You don't have to throw hard if you're hitting your spots and being able to make the ball move and get that sinker. Sinker were very well. You know, the we're thirteen outs last night as a result of ground
balls that were hit. So he had that sinker going, he got the counts in his favor, and I was not at all. I know Walker Buehler had a different postgame thought about it, but I didn't expect Walker Buhler to come back after the long layoff of a couple of years and come back and immediately be a barnburner. We're continuing to see improvement and improvement again.
I thought he was out of sync last night a little bit with his delivery, but I think it was a big, big step again to build up the strength, the arm strength and understand and say, look, it's not going to happen just all of a sudden, it is going to happen. He's got good stuff. He was inconsistent with the breaking bolt, inconsistent with location, but I see a guy that's got all the ability in the world. He's answered the biggest question. The surgery worked. Now it's a work
in progress for him. You said something earlier about Walker Buehler. He competed, and isn't that the difference between a game like last night where he was not and SNC But he was able to pitch six innings. You know who does it because we saw him have a mound session today. Clayton Kershaw, even when in his great career, even those games that he goes out and doesn't have his best stuff quote unquote, he still competes. He still knows
how to pitch. Is Walker Bueller a different dimension now? Not throwing ninety eight ninety nine all the time? How much more of the breaking stuff are going to see? And that's not a bad thing. It can be a very good thing to be a complete pitcher and be able to not just rare back and throw it past someone, but finesse here to set up hitters to
get the count in your favor. So yeah, I know he was disappointed the outing, But I saw some very good moments in that outing last night that build upon what I expect to be even a better outing next time, even better. The next time, the better the next time. You don't come back from an injury and just all of a sudden take the world by storm. He hasn't competed in two years. This is still strange for Rick. You reminded us back in nineteen seventy nine when your season was cut short
because of achilles injury. You were only the second player to come back from that injury. How does Walker Bueller. Block out the fact that not too many starters have come back from to Tommy John surgery. Don't worry about them.
He's on the fast track himself. But coming back from injuries. I've said this many times, David. When you have an injury, whether it involves surgery, but especially if it does involve going under the knife, the doctors can tell you you're fine, You're not going to hurt yourself by competing if you take the steps and going through the different process and coming back. The trainers can tell you that, but until you can really prove it to
yourself, there's always that little doubt in the back of your mind. And I go back to what doctor Neil Latrash told Charlie Sneyder and I downstairs a couple of years ago, just outside the Dugout Club talking about injuries, talking as specifically about players that go through surgery. He came up with something that's very difficult to tell a young man and it's never had an injury before in
his life. There are no shortcuts in coming back to rehab. So, in other words, there's no shortcuts all of a sudden coming back for the surgery. There is a plan it's been proven planned after doctor Frank Job came up with the the Tommy John surgery to begin with. They've got it worked out and there's a different plan for pitchers versus position players that have this surgery. All right, Rick, you were surgical as always during this segment.
Oh you're clever. You're really good after you get a couple of nights sleep. Huh yeah, no doubt your off real. We'll send it back to you in the studio, Tim Kates, thanks a lot, David say.

This is high end tight. I wanted to introduce Dodger fans to a left handed reliever that you're going to see more and more of as the season goes along. That is Anthony Banda, straight from Texas, Tajas, Houston area. Right, Anthony, thanks a lot for the time. It's a corpus area. But yeah, no, no,
it's uh. I'm happy to be here and it's it's great, you know, it's everything. Everything about this organization has been great. But you know, yeah, since in Texas exactly where I'm at. Where I'm from, it's about thirty five thirty minutes outside of Corpus between San Antonio and Corpus CHRISTI what you told me yesterday, it was baseball that found you, and
you not finding baseball to get here. Yeah. Yeah, So, you know, like playing high school baseball, I was primarily a right fielder, just a kid out there that could pretty much sling it, you know, the second base wherever, wherever it needed to be. But you know, I was just playing for fun. I was just playing with you know, with my friends, and that's kind of you know, how I went about it. I didn't really know much about you know, college and how all
the other good stuff worked. That was small town kids. So it was just more about like just playing with my friends and just having fun. When you got to the Dodgers, obviously everybody raises their eyebrows because they have a knack for finding pictures like yourself and turning them into guys that are household names. What have you learned about yourself during your eight year career and what have you learned in the short time you've been with the Dodgers During the year career.
It's been a lot of ups and downs, you know. It's it's mostly what I've learned about is how to you know, take the good from the bad and leave the good where it's at and just continue going to kind of be consistent and you know, trusting my stuff. It's you know, everybody says trust your stuff, trust your stuff to any any picture, you know, but when you get, you know, into competing mode, it's just more about like you want to get swings and misses. You want to
get you know, get the outs quickly and stuff like that. So like it's just there's a fine line, I guess you can say where you have to jump over and after absolutely dive into like trusting your stuff. And I think that's that was a big thing that I've been doing this year. It's just trusting my stuff end zone, and and it's been great so far. Anthony Bunda is our guest out of Corpus Christi, Texas. And you grew up on, for a lack of better term, a farm, right and
you and your brothers would help out your father. That's a long ways away from college baseball and major league baseball. Yeah, it was. It wasn't like legit farm, like I like to say farm just because you know, we had animal we have livestock. We did all the you know, we just some four h showings with people that don't know what that is. It's just like a livestock show to help kids, you know, get some some scholarship money to go off to college and pursue their dreams. But yeah,
we grew up around animals. We helped my father a lot around the house. We had a big piece of land and it was the best thing in the world for me as growing up as a kid. That's it was. I woke up wanting to do stuff like that, and I still do. I still want to do stuff like that to this day. Every time we get on the phone, I asked him like, hey, how's the fence and do you need help, like you know, and he'll talk to me like yeah, I'm doing this or doing that, and like, hey,
I wish I was there to go help you. And you know, but it's been great like growing up out there and being able to go out there and just be a kid and run around on the land and you know kind of like you know, just mess around with the animals and just you know, see different things. It's been fun. It was a lot of fun. And I had a great childhood. Did you throw against the side of
the barn? Where would you throw? I would actually get a tennis ball and I would throw it on the roof and wait for you to come down and catch it. That's how I learned how to catch. Yeah, that's how I learned how to catch. That was a big thing. And I grew up with, you know, with a bunch of cousins around within the area, so like we would always get together and we would get like rocks and stuff and we'd be about fifty yards apart throwing rocks at each other and
dodging rocks and all this other stuff. So we're always doing you know, different things like that, and uh, you know, we would get bottle caps and get a stick hit him, you know, just anything we could find to like play around with and like just be a kid. That was the thing that that was. That was the benefit of having all that land and being able to run around free and just kind of get into trouble and you know, just doing kids stuff. And it was it was a lot
of fun. What does your father think of Anthony Buondan now? After eight or nine years in Major League baseball. I still think he still sees me as his little boy, you know, and I love it. You know, I'm a daddy's boy. I mean, mom is momy's boy too. I love my mother, Don't get me wrong, I love your mom. But no, he's proud. He's he's a proud you know, heart, blue collar worker. And you know, I've I've learned a lot from him, all the characteristics I've gotten from being a good, good father, good
man is I learned from him. And you know, he's he's I know he's proud. I know, I know every time I'm out there, he's he's smiling. He's just enjoying it because you know, you've never you know, he wanted the best for me. But you know, with the baseball thing, how it happened, it was just it was It's unbelievable. So I know he's proud. The dream is still going. The livestock, the animals, they're gonna have to wait because Anthony Bunda is with the Dodgers,
and good things seem to happen. Thanks a lot for the time, Great Stash too, by the way, I appreciate it. Thank you. It's taken me a long time ago. It he's still trying to perfect it.

Thank you very much, Tam, as we get ready to
start this one tonight. Jo Shinobu Yamamoto will get the start for the Dodgers. He's five and two with a three fifty one earned run average. He'll go against Cal Quantrell of the Rockies. The right hander is four and three with a three fifty three ERA, and Quantromo is zero in three in his three career starts against the Dodgers. In fact, he's got an ERA against the Dodgers of almost ten. But in the meantime, he has been very good over his last eight starts, posting a record of four and one.
Yeah, and especially the month of May of those five starts undefeated in ER eight under one point eight. For Yamamoto, I think one of the things we'll look at is it how he comes out in the first time through the lineup, and the reason is it's a two to eighty batting average against the first nine hitters with an ERA of over five and a quarter after the first nine Yamamoto has really been on kind of cruise control, and he's handled hitters
very well. Yo Hinobo Yamamoto for the Dodgers tonight, It'll be Cali Quatrill for Colorado. Game two between the Dodgers and Rockies coming up. Tim, all right, don't forget when this one is over.
