Dodgers on Deck (9-15-24)

And now your host for Morongo Casino Dodgers on Tech, Tam Chase.

Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. He hope you're well on this Sunday afternoon. You're Los Angeles Dodgers eighty seven and sixty one on this season, first place atop the NLS, but the lead in the division is starting to shrink. Is the Dodgers have lost too in a row, four of their last five, and tonight it's Sunday Night Baseball from Atlanta. Walker Buehler on the mound, Game three of this four game series. First pitch from Truest Park is coming up at four to ten.

Shortly.

We'll also check in with Rick Monday and Tim neffett Ale at the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth last night in Atlanta things got away from the Dodgers early, and in the end position players were pitching late. Jack Flaherty got to start, the right hander coming off his best start as a Dodger, but last night he only lasted three innings, giving him four runs on five hits while striking out

So all ready to deal here Now there are to two pitch to Bets swing on and that is into shallow center field.

Long run in for Harris.

You won't get it.

It drops. It's a pay set.

For Mookie around third and scoring is keyk that ties the game at one.

Mookie Betts with the two out RBI single, Dodgers and Braves all knotted up at one. The breath of fresh air moment of the game brought to you by a Tara Mechanical Looking for reliable heating and air conditioning services in southern California. A Tara Mechanical is your trusted partner Omar and Brittany, the founder's great people. Their service more than just a solution, It's a breath of fresh air from the moment you call to the completion of your projects.

One ball, one strike, pitch to rco swung on, hitting the ear of the white center.

Field gamp Bookie on the run. He's not gonna get it. This is big trouble.

So Lari is in.

Here comes Murphy kell Nick behind him. It is a two out basis clearing double and Upbraids have opened up a lead here in the third, eniting three runs commanded a.

Four to one Orlando Arcia, a basis clearing double, braves a four to one lead, and things would only get worse than the sixth. Evan Phillips and Ryan Brazier combined to give up six runs. Dodgers were down ten to one. With the game out of reach, Dave Roberts emptied the bench and brought in Miguel Rojas to pitch the eighth inning. He put up a zero. Then Key Key Hernandez, if we've seen before, he came in and pitched as a position player a scoreless eighth. Dodgers, though, go on and

We've actually seen blue skies here in Atlanta today, some clouds hanging around, but we're getting you ready for Sunday Night baseball. In the third game of this four game series against the Land of Braves. The Dodger has come into this one eighty seven and sixty one, three and a half ahead of San Diego and five ahead of

Yeah, and Austin Barnes will do the catching gain, Kevin Kiermer is going to be in centerfield, kier maraill bet in the ninth spot in this lineup. You know, we can talk about a lot of different things. This is the time the Dodgers right now have to kick it into gear. They've lost four or five six of the last nine and a three and a half game lead. Is they get ready to go against San Diego in the Western Division. They have not really played very well.

Dave Roberts a little while ago in the dugout was telling the assembled media that they had a team meeting today and held it and talked about the significance of Roberto Clemente his life and his career and kind of devetailed that into a message of belief in this group and that this team is one that he feels can go the whole way. But again, they've got to get some runs on the board. They're outscoring sixteen to three in the series so far.

Yeah, not only that, but you can look back really longer stretch. We'll talk more about it. During the ball game. They've had not a whole lot of opportunities to score runners in scoring position, and last night it was not real good based running right at the top of the lineup in the very first inning. They've had games that they not played very good defense and covering on just little fundamental areas, and that's something that needs to be polished.

I think you're expecting more out of the top three of the batting order Otani, Betts, and Freeman, who are a combined two for twenty in the series, and Otani's over.

Yeah, and it's interesting to watch how they are pitching to show Otani. They have tried to jamming. They've tried to go away, gone away from him a lot, and so far o'tane. You also wonder is O'tani maybe thinking in the back of his mind about home runs and stolen bases. You know, there's some games to be won, and the Dodgers they just can't afford to miss opportunities. And that's been the case. Really we look at the last dozen games.

Looking for an opportunity tonight against Charlie Morton, the veteran right handed for Atlanta, going against Walker Bueller for the Dodgers, Game three coming up from Atlanta.

Tim, all right, thank you very much as we cut you down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day meal on. It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor where you're Shaky's Pizza chick in in Mojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com. Coming up here on Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.

Thanks for being with us.

I'm Tim Kats's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

Is Lorongo Casino Dodgers On to Dodgers on Deck, y'all on the official home of.

La Dodgers Baseball.

It's the Dodgers in Brains Sunday Night Baseball from Atlanta, Walker Bueler and Charlie Morton. The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at four ten.

This is the otanis rewind.

Well Quiet night for show Aotani last night in Atlanta, Oh for two at the Walk. He is now over this series in the first two games against the Braves, but still sitting on forty seven home runs and forty eight stolen basis, so the drive for fifty to fifty is still alive. Otani rewind brought to you by eto Insha, Japan's number one green tea and the tea that showe Aotani loves and drinks available a local diso stores, Amazon, and etoin dot Com. That's etoin I T O e

Trying to compete. Yeah, you know, I just just you know, around the zone.

Wasn't really attacking guys, wasn't wasn't doing little things right when you look at it, you know, walk four guys didn't really get ahead, and I got into good counts. Wasn't gonna put guys away quickly. The accounts ran long, you know, they put some good bays together.

So you just.

Move on from this one, move on to the next one, you know, as quickly as you can, and you know, you just make the adjustments. You coming tomorrow and you start working on things getting under the next one.

You are.

I guess I'm looking to make those adjustments. What did you think was the biggest thing that was missing for you tonight?

I think again, I'm just just doing little things right. I don't I don't know how many times they got strike one. I don't know, you know how I didn't do a good job of making them swing the bats, and they put themselves in good counts. And you know, fastball was kind of all over the place and you just try to compete and give it everything you have. And uh, I'm just trying to keep making pitches.

Commands a lot like that, is it, because like mechanical things aren't syncd.

Of Like I'll we'll figure it out as as we go. I don't have the answer sitting here right now, but come in tomorrow, look at some things tonight, and look at some things tomorrow, and figure it out over the week. It's not like if I had the answers right now. I you know, you you like to make those adjustments in game. You know, you know what it is, you know what it takes, and you know what you need to do. And you know, I just wasn't even make them as quickly as I would would have liked to.

You know, I just put myself in that spots.

Yeahs, I mean, look at with the starting rotation, you know, the injuries that have kind of get it pretty hard, and how much they're going to be relying on you in a potential October run. Do you feel that pressure? Do you think about those expectations at all?

No?

I mean our jobs.

Go out and give the team a chance to win. If you look at tonight, I didn't really didn't do a good job of that. And even there when we get it one to one, they put up you know, we tie the ball game against Sale who's been really really good all year, and you want to go out and put up shut down inning and I didn't do that and give up three runs there on.

Uh, you know, r put a good swing on the ball. So you know, that's frustrating.

When when they when they put up another run and you got a chance to go out put a shut down and get those guys back into the dugout, that's frustrating.

And then you're looking forward.

You just keep keep making starts, keep keep making pitches, and it's all about game of adjustments.

You know, you just chuck this one up, move on to the next one.

All right, there's Jack Felarity after the game yesterday, tough Dodger lost, but they're back at it today and we're bought to buy cars for kids. The easiest way to get rid of your old car.

Well, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home for LA Dodgers Baseball.

Marongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck continues Morongo Casino Resort and spat a Grand Slam for good times. Dodgers looking at get back on track in Atlanta. They've dropped the first two games of this series. First pitch against the Braves at four ten.

This it's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.

Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gavin Stone on the IL at the elbow inflammation, Joe Kelly working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, Tyler Glasnow on the IL with right elbow ten and night is Clayton Kershaw also in the IL, trying to work his way back from that big left turf toe. All right, let's find out more as we head back to Atlanta and check out with the Dodger Skipper.

Questions for Dave Dave, can you just describe Dave?

Can you talk about the pressure in.

The dugouts with Dave Robbers.

Dave Walker Bueler today obviously with the news of glass now, just how important is it for him to really get to look like himself again?

Well, I think it's it's important just for Walker to, like you said, look like himself, go out there and attack the strike zone. And and he's pitched in some of the biggest ball games, you know, in our franchise's history, and so you know, just go out there and take it one pitch at a time and you.

Know, put us in a position to win a ball game.

Do you feel like one start is going to make a click or do you feel like he's working towards something he does?

He has he accepted just who he is right now as a pitch.

He definitely hasn't accepted who he is as a pitcher, which is a good thing. I do think that one start can get you on a roll, and so you know, the way I look at things is this is an opportunity.

So I I do believe that this could be a good night and he could get on a heater. What's that? I know he's he flew out. I'm not sure where he flew to, but he's not with the team. Now.

Do you know what kind of like the longer term progression of what he might have to do these this winner just kind of getting back to throwing that do you know yet kind of what the early stages of the recovery might look like.

I don't know.

I do know that there's gonna be weeks of a shutdown period of throwing, and and we'll see where he is at at that point in time, so you know, you call it the next handful of weeks, there's gonna be no throwing.

That's that's what I do know.

And was there anything more specific on the diagnosis or just as far as you know, still just elbow.

Spring, elbo elbow sprang Yeah, with with the other pictures.

Like Walker and some of the guys, like do you want them kind of feeling the need to like kind of take on some of that role and understand how important they are in the just kind of the construction of your team now or do you want them blocking it out or is it different for each guy?

Like I think I think more so probably it's pretty understood the value of each pitcher, certainly the starting pitchers where given where are you know, starting staff is right now? So I don't think there needs to be any you know more any more emphasis. I think they just need to go out and pitch of their abilities and you know, each night, pitch to give a chance to win, and and you know, outside of that, that's I think that's the only expectation.

Just the less he's supposed to pitch last night Triple A, he didn't.

Might there be a reason for that?

Now he will. There was a reason we brought him for coverage.

We found we got through last night somehow with a couple of position players, but just kind of some things that were uncertain.

But I think Justin is going to.

Fly back, all right. There's Dave Roberts in his pregame thoughts down the Dugout brought to you by Service Titan.

Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.

I accept everybody for who they are.

This is Dodger inside there, David Base all.

Right, DV Dodgers struggling a little bit right now, lost the first two games of this series, for the last six, six of the last nine, and a little team meeting for the Dodgers today.

I'll get to that in a second, Tim, but I want to give a shout out to one of the best pictures of his generation. Who is in the booth right now. No, it's not Rick Monday or Tim Neverett. It's David Cone, five time World Series champion. We won't hold it against him that he's buddies with Mark Goubazaw. That's the blemish on his record, but we'll absolve him of Cupcake Gubazza.

Sounds good. I'm sure he had a lot of team meetings in his days, Dave as a pitcher, especially with those Royals teams. But what did this team do today? Team meeting in that Dodger clubhouse.

Yeah, Dave Roberts the opportunity today to gather the team and just reflect on Roberto Clemente day, just to let his players know what Clemente was all about on and off the field, and he also said he took the opportunity organically to just reinforce his belief in this Dodger team. They've gone through a lot of adversity this year, They've

One player told me it wasn't a big deal.

So all the conspiracy and I know some of the writers were saying, oh, they're having a big meeting to really shake themselves of this bad last week.

That wasn't the case at all.

Like Homer Simpson backing himself into the bushes, David Vassi made his way out.

Now that's how I.

Felt of that Dodger clubhouse. David is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like. It's choices. Find yours with the four and f one to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough this mark can only be called F one fifty Walker Buehler on the Mountain tonight, David, what's the key for him?

Well, the way it's been told to meet Tim He's got to be more of a pitcher than a thrower at this stage of his career. He's got to be able to use his cutter, he's got to be able to use his change up, his curveball and not try to bully with the fastball in his prime before he had his second elbow surgery. And also, you know, with the rules of the sticky on the baseballs, he had one of the most elite fastballs up in the strike zone.

That's not the case anymore.

So Walker Buehler has got to acknowledge the fact things are different for him right now, and until he does that, he is going to struggle. And the Dodgers are hoping today's that day that he acknowledges that he needs to be more of a pitcher than a thrower.

Dave, what's next for Tyler Glass now?

Well, Tyler Glass now last night after the game told reporters he would be right back to answer their questions. Okay, he never came back, and then today he left Atlanta. Dave Roberts says he does not know where he went. So Tyler Glass now is no longer with the team on this road trip and he's not going to throw for a period of time.

Just looking.

Speaking of David Cone of Tanaka of the Yankees years ago, he had a similar elbow strain where he did not throw for six weeks and then had PRP injections. So that's probably the course of action for Glass now, and that's why Dave Roberts said yesterday it's highly unlikely he returns to pitch this year.

But first and now.

Joined by David Masse Here's La Dodgers broadcaster there and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.

Rick, it is Roberto Clemente Day. And I know you know a lot about Roberto Clemene. Shared the feel with Roberto Clemene. Just how much did he mean to the game of baseball?

Well, he meant a lot to obviously Latin America to begin with, but also here in the States. And he was more than just a fantastic player, David. He was a guy that was involved. He was involved also even though he was on the opposing team when I joined the Chicago Cums. He was a guy that would help out young players. He wanted to talk to young players he wanted to be an example for them as well. Oh, he's going to compete against you, but it was kind of a level playing field. I never really had a

There was a ball that he.

Hit line drive to center and I thought, I'm going to have to get on my horse and go deep the center field. So I ran back to where I thought the ball was going to come down because it was a vicious line drive. And I turned around and the ball had so much top spin it hit the ground about thirty feet right about where I had been standing to begin with, and I went, no, that can't happen. There's only one other ball that was hit extremely hard

Wow.

It was just one of those things. But he was an exciting player to watch and to know. Now major League Baseball has the Roberto Clemente Award, which Miokie Benz has been dominated and people can vote on that for him to receive it. Overall in baseball, that is a huge, huge, huge award and really deeply felt by those that are even nominated for.

And even the Dodgers that have won that award, they take great flight in winning get Kershaw still has the twenty one on his hat. That's what you get to wear if you do win the Clemente Award.

Exactly, and that's a wonderful achievement. And again for those not aware of it, is for what players do both on and off the field, and it's the off the field that really touches lines because that's how Roberto Clemente lost his trying to help people in flying in supporting and flying supplies somewhere else to people that were in dire need, and it costs he and some other people their lives.

Just an extraordinary person.

And thinking back to the way you were describing the player that he was, is it fair to say the term five tool players started with Clemente.

There's another one of those players. We talk about Otani, and if you're looking at the top players, I think of Willie Mays, I think if Hank Aaron also in this category, Mickey Mantel, if you go back Joe Demaji of Ted Williams. Those are people that when they come to home plate to hit, and we're talking about the hitters, nobody left their seats because that was like a three ring circus and you were looking at the biggest ring because this is one of the premier players. People didn't

Love it, Rick, I tap into your knowledge because you've experienced these things.

People don't appreciate that.

It happens when you've been around for a while, but very fortunate to be around some really truly great people. Roberto Clementi Award is a huge award and a great honor even to be nominated, and.

We are celebrating it tonight, Sunday Night Baseball, Dodgers and Braves. We'll check in with Rack and Tim Neverett a little bit later, but for now, we'll send it back to Burbank.

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

It's an engagement of endearment.

This is high and tight.

Trying never to make him wait seems to be his job these days in the bullpen and in life. The one and only Dan Hudson, thanks a lot for the time and thanks for being patient with me.

I appreciate it.

No promise from just sitting out here in the dugout some big deal.

I know.

And then straggler riders want to pick your brain. You're forced to talk to him.

Yeah, sometimes you're just there. You know, they need somebody to talk to.

Dan, you look very top gun ish right now.

You got the white towel around your neck, you got the top gun Navy fighter pilot haircut.

You're ready to go lather it up?

Yeah, I'm ready to go.

It's so easy to get luthered up out here in this humidity. But luckily it's cloudy and overcast, so we don't have too much sun today.

Dan, As you look at the Dodger bullpen, you guys have done such a tremendous job all season long, not just by the results, but the burden of innings.

That have been put on you guys. What is the state of the bullpen as far as freshness and fatigue, the balance of all that.

Yeah, I know, the off day helps obviously with the freshness I'm coming across the country. It doesn't help with the fatigue, but you know, it's all part of it, man. I think everybody down there is just ready to strap them up and ready to go whatever the phone rings, so, you know, the innings or whatever they are.

You know, the guys down there are ready to take take down whatever inning's need to get taken down. And you know, I'm proud to be down there with those guys.

You came back for a reason.

Has this season been everything that you had hope trying to come back from two severe knee surgeries?

Yeah, for sure.

I think it's been even more when it comes to just a personal standpoint, Obviously, I'm in a little bit of a funk here right now. I'm trying to work my way out of it, and but you know, the first couple of months are really freaking good. So you know, I'm really kind of happy with where I'm at physically, and you know, we're just trying to push through some stuff right now and get ready for the playoffs.

I always hear you guys talk about the process.

Some people call it the journey, But isn't what you're going through right now just the whole thing and why you love the game of baseball so much?

Yeah, I mean, it's just it's just part of the roller coaster that is being in a Major League bullpen. You know it's not gonna go perfect every single night. You know, it's you know, I always say, I try not to ride that roller coaster emotionally. You know, I just kind of stay even keel. Don't get too ups with the with the super highs, and don't get too low with the lows. You know it's gonna even out in the end, and uh, you know you'll be right where you need to be.

At the end of the season.

So you know, I'm just trying to, like I said, I push through some stuff right now mechanically and mentally, and you know, get ready to go every single night whenever Dave needs me.

People feel like you're invincible because you never really show all that stuff.

I'm sure I show up more than more than people think. But no, it's uh, like I said, just try not to get too too low with these lows that I'm in right now, and push through it, and like I said, just be there whenever he needs me to take the ball and get ready for the series and hopefully you know, obviously in the playoffs as well.

You've been through a lot in your career.

Obviously, have you been able to maybe reach out or allow some of these younger pitchers that have had these elbow and shoulder injuries to lean on you just for some advice or really lean on you. I mean, how have you been able to help some of these younger guys.

No, it's cool.

I mean, obviously it's not great that they're injured, but like it's great that they're around. You know, sometimes you can kind of feel eggs out a little bit when you have like a major injury like that. So for them to still be around, Like you know, Stoney's on the trip with Dusk helping, helping him get through his stuff mentally, and obviously River was their last arm stand, so I got to talk to him a little bit. Yeah, we're all just everybody's there for everybody in this organization,

You know, I'm there for him and they all know that.

I don't really like to ask you guys too much about Otani and being teammates with him, but he is getting closer to making history to be the first fifty to fifty player in Major League history. What's it been like from your standpoint to watch him this season.

I just I just feel like I'm lucky to have a first first row seat to this season for him. Obviously, uh, spotlight it's always on him, but I feel like it's gotten even brighter since it's gotten caught up the you know, the interstate a little bit to Dodger Stadium, and uh, he's done nothing. By answer to the bell man, he's he's there every single night, he's posting, he's doing unbelievable things on a ball field, And like I said, I just feel lucky I get to watch it every single night.

Have you ever had a chance to watch his bullpens?

No, I haven't. I haven't heard yet.

I haven't been able to to see one of those yet. But I'm excited to kind of see where he's headed with that man. It'll be it'll be really great to see him back on the mount again.

Where do you stand as far as the DH winning the m v P.

Uh, I mean, it's it's his, no doubt. I don't. I don't really have a stance on that.

If you're the best player in the league, most valuable player in the league, you.

Get the m v P in my opinion, So uh, you know, He's been that and everything for us.

The fact that he's a dah doesn't matter to me, so you know, hopefully it doesn't matter the voters as well. Hopefully he gets that hardware at the end of the year and uh, you know, hopefully top it off of the World Series as well.

All Right, Dan Hadson, you know I tap into you. What you say leads my compass in baseball and maybe life.

I wouldn't go that far, dude.

If if that, if that's your if that's your compass, that's a bad compass.

It's spinning all over the place.

Thanks a lot for the time, Daniel, really appreciating, no problem there. He is the man. Daniel Hudson, great guy and happy for this journey for him.

Definitely one of the good guys.

Thank you.

As we get set for baseball here tonight, it'll be on the national stage television wise person, you could hear us right here where you're listening, no matter where that is. As the Braves and the Dodgers get ready for this ballgame. Walker Bueller at one and five, the guy that really has not had the same kind of velocity that we've been accustomed to seeing him in the past coming back from injury. Maybe time to reinvent himself a little bit. We've seen him throw a lot more curveballs recently.

Yump and not particularly great curve balls. In the five games since he's come off the injury list with that hip injury, he's zero to one with an e ARA above six in that particular area. In the last outing, five runs, nine hits. That was five innings against the Chicago Cubs. But for Bueller's got to work it out and the clock continues to tick and on the flip side, Dodgers have to figure out how to get to Charlie Morton, a veteran, he's forty years of age. One thing about it.

This will be the second start for Morton against the Dodgers this season. Back on the third of maya Dodgers Stadium, he allowed two runs over six in a four to three Dodger win. So Morton and Bieler the pitching matchup, It's the Dodgers and Braves on Sunday night baseball. Glad you're listening to it right here, and we'll go back to you, Tim, all right.

Dodgers eighty seven and sixty one. They go into play as we speak with the three and a half game lead over the Padres, five games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Speaking of the Padres, they are tied to two in the top half of the tenth inning up in San Francisco, the Giants getting a game tying home run from Il Ramos. They're in the bottom half of the ninth inning, so

Enjoy it.
