Immortality is within their reach. Incredible. And while others make excuses, the only reason a dodger is doing this is because they can't pay their rent money. The dodgers can't continue. It's not fair. Are making plans. Again, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Now your pre-game host of the world champion L.A. Dodgers, Tim Cates. Hi everybody, and welcome to Morongo, Casino Dodgers on deck on this glorious Saturday afternoon. As we get ready for the Dodgers and the Washington Nationals as your back-to-back world series champions, 84 and 57 on this season first place and running away with the NL West. They got themselves a fight with the Atlanta Braids and the Milwaukee Brewers for the top two spots in the National League with less than a month to go here in the regular season. After winning back-to-back games, the Dodgers give the ball to Tyler Glass. Now to look to make it three in a row. First pitch from Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium is coming up at six o'clock coming up here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck. You are going to hear from Snellzilla Blake Snell. That's coming up in 45 minutes. We get you, of course, the pre-game thought to the Dodger manager Dave Roberts. Up later, we'll get you a pitching matchup. David Vassay joins us throughout the hour.
Of course, we got your Dodgers magical moment, Charlie Siner. We'll stop by Kirsten Watson from Sports and L.A. We'll stop by. We got your O'Tani rewind in in just a few minutes. We'll head out to Tim Never and Rick Monday at the Galpin Ford broadcast booth. Well, last night Snell was dealing while the Dodgers offense came alive for the win. Blake Snell, there's no doubt when he's healthy. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball and he's healthy right now. Six scoreless and he's last night's scatter just five hits along the way while striking out seven. Since coming off the I.L. Blake Snell has made five starts now, three and O with a sub one ERA and 38 strikeouts. The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, able to get to national starter Jackson kit and the third back-to-back lead-off walks to start the inning. Two batters later, Mookie Betts and RBI single gave the Dodgers a one-nothing lead. The very next batter, one of the hottest Dodger hitters, Tiasco Hernandez. KK Hernandez leading off third. Mookie Betts off first, three and one.
Blind drive, left center field. That baby's going to go to the wall. Indus scores KK Hernandez. Mookie Betts is on his way home throw to the plate. None time. Head for a slide. And the Dodgers have a three-nothing lead. And the RBI double for the Huster Hernandez. Two run double for Teo. He drove in the game. Winning runs the night before. Two more with that RBI double. That's the top-tier play of the game. Brought to you by Arco. Quality top-tier, Gash, for less Dodgers. A three-nothing lead. Tiasco Hernandez, by the way. The last five games. He's nine for 19 with three doubles, a home run, and six RBI. And the fourth Dodgers added to that lead. Alex Call lead off double. He would come around and score later in the inning on a national's air as the Dodgers had a four-nothing lead. Blake, Snail, Cruz, and Long, putting up zeros. Did it again in the fifth. Another scoreless frame in the top of the sixth. In the bottom of the sixth. The Dodgers got something they hadn't seen in a while. A home run from Count Tucker. The old one. Tucker, with a fly ball to right.
Heading on back is Cruz, and it is. God, a home run. Count Tucker's 12 home run in the year. And the Dodgers now lead five to nothing. Well, Dodgers are waiting for Tucker to warm up the bat. It's been a struggle. The last seven games. One fifty-eight. The last thirty games coming tonight. One at ninety. Count Tucker, with a home run. His first since August 8th. His first home run at Dodgers. Stadium since June 15th. Dodgers, they five nothing lead. Snow with the six innings. Eduardo Enriquez put up a zero in the seventh. Kyle Hurtentaner Scott combined to get out of the eighth inning. The ninth got a little interesting. Seth Halverson couldn't get it out. The Dodgers would give up three runs. Jack Dryer come in. Limited the damage. Dodgers get the win. Five to three last night over the Washington Nationals. Maybe a little closer than they had liked.
Blake, Snail gets the win. He's now three and no since coming back from the injured list. Dodgers now 84 and 57 on this season. They've got one two in a row. They look to make it three straight tonight with Tyler Glass now on the mound. First pitch coming up at six ten and with more. We add out to the galloping for broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Guys. Tim, thank you very much. Gorgeous day here at Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium. Going to be a wonderful evening as the Dodgers take on the Washington Nationals game two of this three games. Series to Andrew's winning last night in game one. One back to back games now and looking for three in a row. Tyler Glass now will make his third start since returning from the injured list. He's 4 and 0 with a 279 earn run average. Big right hander will take on a guy who's been a good surprise for Washington. Cade Cavali who is 12 and five. But he's been their best pitcher this year. Three 12 is his earn run average. And some news and notes from around the Dodgers.
This is be the third straight day. Mo that show Hey O'Tani is not in the lineup. And they're going to have a conversation with him tomorrow. He's supposed to be hitting in the cage today. If he doesn't feel good tomorrow, the I.L. could be on the table. But as of right now, what is there's concern. You know, yesterday we heard another ailment and that was the neck. So along with the left knee and the right biceps is the neck on top of it. But if we look back to when the last 12 games for O'Tani, he's not appeared to be himself in a lot of different areas, including just hitting 128, 5 for 39 in that particular stretch of games that he's played. And the Dodgers to say that they need him and they can use him is really an understatement. So in one particular time, that meeting tomorrow is going to be interesting for a lot of different reasons. Do you put him on the injured list and say, hey, look, we're just going to shut it down for a couple of days and then get better. Or are you running the risk if you activate him as far as putting him back into the lineup?
Is one swing or maybe one step going to hinder him in getting healthier and healthier each and every day? Speaking of activating, the Dodgers have activated somebody you haven't seen this year. Bobby Miller, who has missed the first 142 games of the season, recovering from a right shoulder injury. He's been pitching in AAA, but he is active and available tonight. He has stretched out up to 50 pitches. He could be used in long relief tonight or maybe tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, joined the ball club yesterday. Officially then was on the taxi squad, but they made a roster change today. So he is active and rare and to go. And you would imagine that the bullpen is going to be activated in tonight's game with Tyler Glass now going. And just his third start off the injured list is 10th start overall. Perfect four and 0 to this particular point Dodgers. Nationals game two of this three game set coming your way shortly. All right. Thank you guys as we count you down to first pitch on this Saturday night Dodger fans.
Get that game day meal on it's shaky speeds. A parlor order that shaky speed. A chicken mojos, shakies.com. We're off and running here on Morocco. Dodgers on deck coming up. You're going to hear from the manager. Dave Roberts in about 15 minutes. We'll check in with David Vassay. Of course, throughout the hour is going to go high and tight with Blake Snell on this Snellzilla Saturday. As he calls it, we'll break down this pitchy matchup. But up next we'll check in with Kirsten Watson. As we lead you up to Dodgers and Nationals on this Saturday night. First pitch coming up at 610. Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Kates. It's the back to back World Series champion Dodgers. Audio nowhere. Longo Casino Dodgers on deck. On your home for the blue all season law. It's a Dodgers and Nationals on this Saturday. Tyler Glassnow, Kate Cavali, the pitching matchup. First pitch on the ravine coming up at 610. This is the Otoni. Three one presented by me Kido showtube.
Well, show Hey Otoni not in the lineup last night. Not in the lineup tonight. Three straight games that Otoni has missed with the right bicep bothering him. The sore neck and the sore left knee. Show Hey Otoni. It took some hitting in the cage earlier today and expect to talk today. Roberts and the coaching staff to find out tomorrow. How he's feeling. Otoni rewind is presented by Nikito Shotchew. The official Shotchew of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Discover Nikito discover. So choo. This is Kirsten's corner with Kirsten Watson. Hey Kirsten, outjoins. Brought to you by cars for kids the easiest way to get rid of that old car. Donate today that car can be picked up tomorrow. That easy. Donate now at carsforkids.org. That's cars with the K. All right. Otoni watch continues. Day three and not in the lineup. Yes, still not in the lineup. But today is going to be hopefully a good day for show Hey Otoni. He is actually going to be taking some swings in the cage. And Dave Roberts made it clear that with him taking this next step,
they'll have a better idea as to how he feels coming out of it and what this is going to be moving forward. Technically the IEL conversation is still on the table, but there was clarity that the IEL for show Hey Otoni would be a 15 day IELs to it. And with only three weeks left at the regular season, I think there's kind of potentially some concern with it being that long. And what happens if he is actually ready to go maybe in five days or seven days. But ultimately depending on how he feels coming out of the swing today, how he recovers tomorrow, they'll have a better idea as to just how they want to manage him moving forward. Looking at the lineup tonight here, some Freddie Freeman is back, but no will Smith. What's going on with guys kind of in and out of lineup? Yeah, you know, as I just mentioned, with only three weeks left in the regular season, Dave Roberts, they're trying to find ways to continue to build up players for in the case of Will Smith, who is just coming back from that neck injury. And it isn't really in a position to be playing every single day just yet.
The good news is that he did just play and back to back games in these last two. So today is an off day for him, and then he should be back in the lineup tomorrow. Then you've got Freddie Freeman. He had a routine off day yesterday. He's back in the lineup today. And Dave Roberts was sharing that their approach to closing out this regular season. Yes, there's still some time and technically two road trips, but he doesn't want to find ways to get guys off their feet to keep them healthy and ready come October. So the next guy will probably be seeing that has a day off is going to be Tommy Edmund. And then we'll probably see Mookie Betts get a day, but he's just kind of kind of shuffled the lineup and get guys in there to keep some guys a little bit fresh. And then also get some guys to kind of take a day here and there. Looking at tomorrow, what's the plan as far as pitching his concerns? I know Bobby Miller is now active here. Yeah, so with Bobby first and foremost, he is someone who could be a part of the pitching plan today or even tomorrow. Dave Roberts, that he feels comfortable with him taking down multiple innings, getting up to at least 50 pitches.
We have seen some usage. So there are a couple guys that are down in the bullpen. But David, he did add that. We look at tomorrow's pitching plan. The majority of the game is going to go to Justin Mobleski. So whether Justin starts or if they have an opener and then he takes down the bulk of the game, he is in that plan and he could be supported by Bobby Miller, if need be. They're really just kind of finding ways. They're in the middle of nine straights, which is kind of finding ways to either give some rest to some of the higher leverage arms in the bullpen and see how we can eat up some innings. Because then on Monday, that's also a TVD and Dave Roberts did say that they're going to have to make a move or that start on Monday as well. Final weeks of the season, always fun. And the Dodgers still in the playoff race as far as the top two spots in the national league. So makes it even more intriguing even though they're running away with the division. Here's Tim, we appreciate it. We'll check in with you after the game. Still to come here, I'm Ronco Casino, Dodgers on deck. We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. David Vase goes high in tight with Blake Snell,
a Nexo and injury report. And we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Washington Nationals on this Saturday night. First pitch is 610. I'm Tim Kates, it's the back-to-back Roll Series Champion Dodgers. Audio note. This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. On your home for LA Dodgers baseball. Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. Continues as we lead up to first pitch. Dodgers and the Nationals. Marongo Casino resorted in spot, a grand slam for good times. Tyler Glass now on the Mount First pitch, coming up at 610. This is the LA Dodgers. Is the LA Dodgers. Injury report. Presented by UCLA Health, the official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. As we've discussed, show heo, Tony, soar, knee, elbow, neck, knot in the lineup again today for the third straight day. A couple of scratches from the initial line of the day Roberts put out. No Dalton rushing. He was supposed to be the designated hitter at elbow discomfort. Hopefully more on that coming up in just a little bit.
Also, no max Muncie. He was in the lineup initially, but he is not feeling well. He is sick, so he is out of the lineup as well. Eric Lauer on the IEL, Roki Sasaki on the IEL, Andy Pahez on the IEL, and Wendia's on Will Klein, all on the IEL as well. Bobby Miller has been on the injured list and in AAA all season, but he was just activated today to be some help out of the bullpen. Let's head back out to the ravine and check in with the Dodgers skipper. Anything else for today? Dave, do you think on questions for Dave? Dave, can you just describe? Dave, can you talk about the pressure in the dugout with Dave Roberts? Brought to you by Concordia University, Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration. My expectation is he's going to hit today in the cage. And so I think that once he hits and how he comes out of it, we'll be telling for tomorrow and obviously leaving his availability open for today. But tomorrow is more of a conversation.
If I hear that he comes out of it fine. Yeah, Freddie Dow yesterday, of course, he's back out there today. We'll spend it on today. How do you find just having to manage your guys? One, who are obviously continuing to get healthy, but just in general, man, to pose out to regular season. Yeah, this is a good one in the sense of there's nine days, nine games at row. So front of mind is Tommy now. Will, this is just kind of the build up, I think with Freddie, it's just good to get him off his feet. I think he's done a good job with Max. Tommy's playing well, but I do think that getting a day and I think potentially that next series, I'll give Tayo a day. So yeah, it's a balancing. And then the last one was probably thinking about Mukhi. But it's good when you have good players and you can kind of backfill. Dave, the lending analysis show eight comes out of the cage today. Would it be here to say that there's not improvement by Sunday that I'll become a more legitimate conversation?
Yeah, I think so. You know, the other part is, you know, where we're at right now, if it just makes sense that the other alternative, you know, whoever it might be coming up, makes sense for the short term. But yeah, if it doesn't feel good today, then that certainly should be on the table. Is it a good decision to make the missing? You can only backfill. You know, not necessarily. I think if we don't, you know, not necessarily. I think that yes, we would lose the three back dates. You know, but also there's a chance, like we said the other day, that you know, we could almost just be in bed with the idea that whether it's six, seven, eight days is better than 10 days, if he's trending in the right direction. You're understanding that it's 10 days? I mean, as far as the IL. There you go.
Then there you go. So I'm not clear on that. So if that's the case, then again, to not lose him for 15 days is something is meaningful. All right. There's Dave Roberts. Yes, the decisions need to be made, because you certainly don't want Shohei O'Connie out for 15 days if it's not going to take 15 days for him to recover. That's Dave Roberts down the dugout, Dodger fans. Great coaches, Bill, great teams, and great coaching starts with great leadership.

The elbow flaring up again. We'll find out next as we lead to Dodgers and Nationals. I'm Tim Kates, at the Back to Back Rolls-Series Champion Dodgers. Audio Network. Our town is small taters by most standards, right?
But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etchum. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need men to rule! Great! And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bulls***. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test to. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. Someone opened the door and was the primary shooter. Is it possible you could do that and then suppress the memory? A new podcast series, Fault Line Haditha, tells the story the United States government wants to keep buried. How can you not know? There were women and children in there. Can you tell us here that you don't know what happened that day? Based on thousands of pages of previously classified documents and over 100 hours of secretly filmed video. The truth about one of the most infamous crimes in Marine Corps history can finally be told. If you've got five players and one of them is guilty of murder at least, and you offer immunity to the other four, you better be right about the fifth, because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color. Listen to Fault Line Haditha on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The US Open is Back.
That's right, two weeks of incredible, exciting tennis. Some outrageous overreactions from players and some hot takes from people who have, let's face it. No idea what they're talking about, but it's okay, because I'm here for them and you. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'll be breaking down everything that happens after Big Matches, who's playing the best tennis, who looks like they could possibly win this tournament, the surprise runs, the heartbreaking exits, and all the drama that only the US Open can deliver. Coco, looking real good. Her serve looks so much smoother than it has in the past. I was really happy to see Eager back to what she looked like a couple of years ago, and she was winning dominantly. Listen, I'm going to let Venus decide when she wants to retire. I'm going to let the tournaments decide when they don't want to give her a wildcard, because she still puts bums in seats, she still sells, and people love to see her play. You always say on this show that this is the best predictor of who will do well at the US Open. If this is a preview, then we are in for a treat.
Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the iHot Radio app, Apple Podcasts all over, ever you get you podcasts. I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast, Hollywood Land, I revisit some of the biggest stories from Hollywood history, separating the myths people want to believe from the reality underneath them. Like how the story of Marilyn Monroe isn't just the story of a Hollywood icon. Marilyn Monroe has become so iconic that her death can only be explained through conspiracy theories. And for some fans who can't let go, these stories have metastasized from conjecture to accepted fact. So on August 4th, 1962, Marilyn Monroe died. Then the rumors started, and she died again. And now, we're going to set the record straight, and learn about the way Marilyn Monroe actually died, the third way. Learn more about what happens when famed media obsession and conspiracy collide.
Listen to Hollywood Land on the iHot Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As we were saying this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck, on the official home of LA Dodgers baseball. Dodgers and Nationals, Game 2 of this three games, set on this Labor Day weekend Tyler Glass now for a speech at six 10 Dodgers baseball brought to my Alpato board in LA and made for your game day. Alpato brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot sauces right to your table. Alpato gourmet in a can. Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on deck, I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger Insider, David Bassett. All right, David Bobby Miller activated Colleher, and gets sent back down to AAA Oklahoma City. It's been a while since we've seen Bobby Miller. It really has, and I gotta tell you Tim, Bobby Miller in spring training told me that yeah, my shoulder's not feeling that great,
and he never threw during the six weeks of spring training. Not a lot of people noticed that, but certainly he confided in me and took a lot longer than Bobby Miller ever thought. He's here at Dodger Stadium for the first time this season. He will be pitching out of the bullpen likely tomorrow, but possibly tonight. And here's what Bobby told me earlier today about this opportunity as a reliever. Yeah, you gotta be all in, especially with a team like this. You gotta fully embrace any role you can get. So just being here is a blessing already. So whatever role you can get, you gotta embrace it. Have you changed anything as far as your pitch mix? Have you consolidated things? Pretty similar pitch mix. Just trying to be really competitive in the zone with all my pitches. Get ahead of hitters being a tack mode, especially when you're out of the pen. You just gotta be in full attack mode all the time. Not get to finesse out there. But yeah, like I said, glad to be here by the same time.
I'm trying to dominate as well. This is a very interesting arm coming out of the bullpen now, Tim, because if you remember, Bobby Miller as a starting pitcher was pumping 100 miles an hour. So if he can command his fastball and maybe sprinkle in his changeup and not try to use five or six different pitches, all of a sudden now you may have a very interesting surprise arm coming out of the bullpen. So I hope he gets a real opportunity. Yeah, we'll see if it's tonight or tomorrow. David has brought you by Ford Summer Sales Event. Don't wait, hurry and now for the best offers of the year. Go to buy Fordnow.com or your Southern California 40 or more information. Ford official vehicle of Major League Baseball. It's been a couple of changes to the initial lineup that Dave Roberts put out a couple of hours ago. David, including Dalton, rushing. What's going on? Well, when I got here to Dodger Stadium, Dalton, rushing was throwing about a 90 to 100 feet long, you know, just really long tossing and stretching it out like he has been, right?
And then he took the next step in his progression. And the Dodgers had him throwing to bases, throwing from behind home plate to second base as a catcher would. And then all of a sudden we find out that he scratched from tonight's lineup because of right elbow discomfort. You just hope that it's soreness from doing as much throwing as he did today. And you hope that he didn't cause more damage to that right elbow. We'll find out more after the game, but certainly concerning for a guy the Dodgers were so optimistic that A would avoid surgery on his right elbow and B could catch by the end of this regular season. So certainly a setback. Yeah, no doubt. All right, David Graystuff will check back in with you in just a little bit. Dave's going to go one-on-one, of course, with Blake Snell on this Saturday coming up. We'll dive deeper to this pitch. He match up as well, but up next your Dodgers magical moment.

It's time for the Huffy magical moment. It's magical. It was magical. Presented by Huffy Hotdogs. Now we go back to 2016 Dodgers and Nationals game four of the NLDS at Dodger Stadium. Dodgers down two games to one, facing elimination. Clicking Curse Shop, pitching on three days' rest. Dodgers and Nationals were tied at five in the eighth inning. Blake trining on and relieved when the Dodgers were able to get a little too out magic going against them. Chase Utley, a huge RBI single. Gave the Dodgers the lead going to the ninth inning with Kenley Jansen on to close it out.
Dodgers are one strike away from a trip to Washington. They so desperately want and need. Here's the two two. Brown ball slowly hit to the right side. Blake flips it to Jansen out at first and the Dodgers hang on and win at six to five. Next stop Washington on Thursday, a one game season. These two teams are now tied at two games a piece. Dodgers were win at six to five to force a game five in which the Dodgers went to Washington, DC, and pulled out a win. Remember, Clayton Kershaw came out of the bullpen and closed it out in dramatic fashion. This offy magical moment brought to my offy hot dogs, offy, so cows local treasure for nearly 100 years. Offy hot dogs local and so great. When we continue here on Morocco, Casino Dodgers on deck, we will check in with Charlie Steiner. So lean up to first pitch Dodgers and Nationals.

The Braves in Philadelphia tonight, Milwaukee at Cincinnati. First, a quick look back at last night, Moan. Blake's now was once again outstanding. I'll tell you one, he knows how to pitch. To me, he's like a conductor of an orchestra. I mean, he says the tempo. I think he reads bats. I talk about this a lot. A picture that reads bats of the hitters. What do I mean by that? Well, the guy that maybe is overpower the fastball, a guy's out in front of a lost speed pitch. Does he handle the ball inside? Does he have any trouble with the ball away? And that's kind of how he conducts the business. And for him to go to six innings, no runs under five hits. Yes, he walked a couple of batters and yes, there were a couple of stolen bases and then a conceding on top of it. But he really sets the tone once he takes the mound and he can avoid some bats. Since coming off the injured list, August 11th, gone three in oh and ERA 0.93, 38 strikeouts and just 12 walks.
And so today off the injured list is Tyler Glies now. And he's going against a very interesting right-hander. And he's going to be a great head coach for the Cade Cavalli. Who is he? Well, he's got a 12 and five record, a 312 ERA. And the nationals have won eight of Cavalli's nine starts since the all-star break. And he's done a very good job. And one of the things you look at too is how well he pitches. First of all, he can pitch out of the tough spots. Why do I say that? Well, he's induced 14 ground ball double plays. And as we know, the daughters have hit into a large truck full of double plays. Good thing about Cavalli. If you look at when he gets ahead in the count this year, it's just a 182 batting average against him. So if he gets out in front early of a hitter, you may want to go into protection mode in the next couple of pitches. The nationals have won eight of Cavalli's nine starts since the all-star break during which time his ERA is just 183 and opponents hitting just 188 against him.
And then there's Glaznau who's been very good since his return from the injured list. Yeah, third start off the injured list. And we talked about the little batting average at Cavalli. Well, how about Glaznau making his tenth start overall? Batting average against to just 159 against the right-hander. Does it matter if it's lefty or righty? No, they're both hitting exactly 159 against him. So between Glaznau and Snel, off the injured list for sure, but they're healthy. The arms are sad. There's not been a whole lot of taxation on either of those arms. No, there has not been. And you know, there's still questions about what's going to be happening with Shohei Otani not in the line of tonight. And how much longer is he going to miss action? And the two letters are still out there. So, is that a possibility? Stay tuned. So Otani is missing three consecutive games. It's the first time since coming to the Dodgers where he's lost three in a row.
Of course, he's got a left knee issue, a right biceps issue, and now a neck issue. He's battered and bruised. And you know, you and I were talking off there last night about Otani, his physical condition being what he is or what it is. Can we realistically expect him to pitch heading into the postseason or in the postseason? Yeah, I'm not one of the trainers. I don't know the level of discomfort that he has, but you know, the neck quote unquote just popped up yesterday as Dave Roberts is talking about it. I mean, there are some issues there. And if we look from a hitting standpoint, the last 12 games, Shohei Otani is five for 39. That's only a 128 batting average against. No home runs, no RBI is, but a very low batting average in that period of time. And he has not looked like himself. Today is September the 5th. He began his throwing program back on August the 8th. The Shohei Otani did as a hitter since that time, hitting just 204 with 19 hits in 93 at bats and 32 strikeouts.
So that's an issue whether or not he'll be back sooner or later. We're all going to find out together. The only thing we know for sure is he's not in the lineup today. Lineups and first pitch are coming up, Tim. All right. Thank you, Charlie Dodgers baseball presented by Uniclo Field at Dodgers stadium visit Uniclo.com slash US still to come. Yeah, we'll get to those keys to the game. We'll dive deeper to this pitchy matchup with Tyler Glassnell on the mound. What up, Nax? We go high in tight. The Blake Snell. It's the Dodgers and the Nationals first pitch coming up at 610. I'm Tim Gates at the back of World Series Champion Dodgers. Audio now. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etch. But they weren't just planning houses.
We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need medjarool. Great. And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bull. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test to. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

A shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. Someone opened the door and was the primary sugar. Is it possible you could do that and then suppress the memory? A new podcast series, Fault Line Haditha, tells the story the United States government wants to keep buried.
How can you not know? There were women and children in there. Can you tell us here that you don't know what happened that day? Based on thousands of pages of previously classified documents and over a hundred hours of secretly filmed video. The truth about one of the most infamous crimes in Marine Corps history can finally be told. If you've got five players and one of them is guilty of murder at least and you offer immunity to the other four, you better be right about the fifth because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color.

Some outrageous overreactions from players and some hot takes from people who have, let's face it. No idea what they're talking about, but it's okay because I'm here for them and you. I'm Renee Stubbs and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'll be breaking down everything that happens after big matches,
who's playing the best tennis, who looks like they could possibly win this tournament, the surprise runs, the heartbreaking exits and all the drama that only the US Open can deliver. Coco, looking real good, her serve looks so much smoother than it has in the past. I was really happy to see Iga back to what she looked like a couple of years ago when she was winning dominantly. Listen, I'm going to let Venus decide when she wants to retire. I'm going to let the tournaments decide when they don't want to give her a walk-out because she still puts bums in seats, she still sells, and people love to see her play. You always say on this show that this is the best predictor of who will do well at the US Open. If this is a preview, then we are in for a treat. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast Hollywood Land, I revisit some of the biggest stories from Hollywood history, separating the myths people want to believe from the reality underneath them. Like how the story of Marilyn Monroe isn't just the story of a Hollywood icon.
Marilyn Monroe has become so iconic that her death can only be explained through conspiracy theories. And for some fans who can't let go, these stories have metastasized from conjecture to accepted fact. So on August 4th, 1962, Marilyn Monroe died, then the rumors started, and she died again. And now, we're going to set the record straight and learn about the way Marilyn Monroe actually died, the third way. Learn more about what happens when fame, media obsession, and conspiracy collide. Listen to Hollywood Land on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is Game Night, it's Group Night at Shaky's.com. And now, what will likely be Vasey feeling insults from a Dodger player. It's an engagement of enduroment. This is high and tight. This guy is on everybody's radar now, but he has not forgotten the little people. The guys that were there since day one, and that is my guy, Snell Zilla, who is in disguise with the hoodie over his head, because everybody wants a piece of the two-time, two-time, Sai Young Award winner, a guy that's thrown a no-hitter in his career, and a world series champion. That's the one and only Blake Snell. Thanks a lot for the time, and I think everybody now knows that you're joining us. You're a wild boy, man. Smelling the best, thanks to you, Snell Zilla. I got you a de Cologne. Thanks for having me. I think that was the condition, right? You said I need a good smelling interview, so I'm going to spray you with some of my top shelf stuff. Yeah, you got some bockered on.
Yeah, you'll be smelling nice all day. Thank you so much, and you were smelling nice last night after the game, Six Shuddy against one of the best off-fans in baseball. When you look at a game like last night, how much do you dissect or do you move on? I'll think about the next couple of days of what I could have done better, where I thought that I did really good, and then you know, you create a plan of, okay, what are the areas that need to get better, and where the errors that need to stay consistent, and you continue to improve that gradually, and that's kind of what I do. So a lot of today, just really thinking, going over, really understanding the way I felt in situations, and then how to build and grow on them. I never asked you this before. I know you do your homework, we see the Snellzilla binder, and the way you dissect a lineup before you go into a start. But how much do you visualize success before a start? Uh, yeah, it's a good amount. Yeah, I just, I don't know, I just think of myself as the best in the world, and that's what I want to be, and that's what I'm chasing on being, and so I really care about.
Yeah. Do you feel that there are still doubts after everything you've accomplished in your career, people still doubt what you can do? Yeah, but they don't know me, so I don't matter. Hunter Fadoosha told me in Detroit, he said, having a pregame meeting with you is one of the most enlightening, greatest pregame meetings with the picture he's ever been part of, because you have a plan when you walk into that room, and you go down the line up, and I asked him whether it's like a rap cadence, like, what's the cadence of the whole meeting? And he said, yeah, there's a little, there's a rhythm to the whole thing. Yeah, there's definitely a rhythm. Um, but yeah, I like to go into it, knowing, you know, where I'm going to attack, where my success is going to be, where I'm going to need to challenge them in their strengths, and then you, the game will tell you, you know, you feel the game out, and you go through it, and I'll tell you what you need to do when you need to, you know, get on the accelerator, be more passive, and yeah, it's pitching.
And you call your own pitches with the pitchcom. How much has that helped you in just, you know, getting everybody on the same page? Yeah, I love it, because, you know, if I go up a hit, or if anything bad happens, you know, it's on me, it's not on the catcher, it's on me. I can't be here like, why don't you call it, you know, I'm the one calling it, so I love it. Blake Snell is our guest. When you look at this whole staff, it feels like you guys really feed off each other. What kind of competition in a good way is there amongst yourself, school bowl, glass now, and Yamamoto? Yeah, I mean, it's, it's amazing. You got four, you know, A starters. Um, and we're all competing against each other, but we're all pushing for each other to be great, you know, set the bar high, and the next person to set it even higher. So I, I've loved the staffs. It's I've been here with glass, uh, Yam, um, show, hey, I've really loved our starting staff.
I think we all get along. We all support each other. We're all pushing in the same direction. We all want to be great. And that's an amazing thing. And then now adding scuba to the mix. I mean, he's fitting perfectly and he's only getting better. He's getting more comfortable. He's, he's starting to get his understanding of the game. We're starting to understand what he likes to do. It takes a little bit of time. So let that time happen. And then, you know, he's been pitching good anyways. But I know he's going to pitch even better. Yeah. Do you feel like we've seen the best of scuba yet? No, I think I mean, tough first innings. It's been kind of the cadence with him lately. And, you know, it's just it's him feeling it out. Once he gets going and gets that rhythm and, you know, he's comfortable. He's going to be, you know, the scuba everyone talks about. Blake Snell is our guest before I let you go. I got to let you in on something you would appreciate. My fifth grade son was at his friend's house. They're playing MLB the show. And they said they put you to the test on MLB the show. And I said, hey, did snill Zilla pass? And he laughed. He said, of course he did.
Yeah, of course it's right. But honestly, my card in the MLB the show is trash. You need a sinker and a cutter to be good in that game, bitch. So you say they're short changing you on the card, even though you pass. I just know that he loves me's period. So I appreciate that, but that card's trash. All right. Hey, the show clean it up. You got to give snill Zilla some love. Now everybody's texting me. Everybody's calling this guy a savant. You should have known that before you got to believe before you see. That's right. I'm here for you. Thanks a lot for the time. Can't wait to do this again on another snill Zilla Saturday. I can't wait either. I appreciate it. Blake Snell received a gift card to Capitol Grill. Capitol Grill in Burbank possibly an upscale relaxed spot with a great bar, great stakes and maybe a two time, two times. I'm gonna say a young award winner hanging out. Hello. We'll send it back to you in the studio. Unbelievable. Snell Zilla Saturday. It is a, well, it's a thing of beauty. As we lead you have to first pitch Dodgers and Nationals on this Saturday night coming up.
Well, that deeper to this pitchy matchup. Don't you go anywhere? I'm Tim Kasey. It's the back to back Rolls-Series champion Dodgers audio network. It's a Dodgers and the Washington Nationals on this Saturday night first pitch from the ravine coming up at 610. And now before the Dodgers hit the dining, we look at the pitching matchup brought to you by your Toyota dealers. We make it easy. Can't go volley by far the ace of this Washington Nationals staff 12 and 5 with the 312 ERA. It's only 28 years old. Big right-hander first round pick of the Nats back in 2020. The University of Oklahoma. Make it is Major League debut in 2022. This year he's now made 29 starts tonight is start number 30 tied for the most in the major leagues.
Cavalier ranked seventh in the National League in strikeouts top 10 and ERA. Last time out Kate Cavalier for no hit Indians eight strikeouts. This was in a no decision against the Miami Marlins in the month of August. Kate of a volley six starts four and one with a 175 ERA. How about his last nine starts he seven and one with a 183 ERA and a 188 opponents batting average tonight. This is his first career start against the Dodgers. Okay Cavalier by far the ace of this Washington Nationals pitching staff Tyler Glass. Now he'll go for the Dodgers. He is 4-0 with a 279 ERA. The 33 year old right-hander is 11 season down in the big leagues his third with the Dodgers. Like Blake Snell he's been hurt a lot of this season making just his tenth start. He made seven starts before getting the back spasms in May. Then didn't return until August 25 now his third start since coming back off the IL last time out seven Indians won run two hit six strikeouts and a win over the Tigers in Detroit.
Before that his first outing was against the braves in which he give those three runs in the first inning but then locked it down the next four Indians in eight career games five starts against the Washington Nationals. Tyler Glass now is three and one with a 585 ERA. He faced them back on April 4th at Nationals Park. He allowed just two runs over six Indians while striking out a season high nine batters. Tyler Glass now and Cade Cavali the pitch he match up. It's the Dodgers and the Nationals as we are 15 minutes away from first pitch. Keys to the game are coming up next. Don't you go anywhere. I'm Tim Kasey. It's the back to back World Series champion Dodgers audio network. Dodgers and Washington Nationals on this day night Tyler Glass now.
Cade Cavali the pitch he match up his Tyler Glass now for an oh on this season. Look at the get to five and oh no Freddie Freeman in the lineup last night. No show. Tony in the lineup last night. Freddie Freeman is back. Show. Tony is not. Of course Max Muncie was scratched as well. He is under the weather and not feeling well. So different looking Dodger lineup tonight with Tyler Glass now on the mound going up against one of the best pitchers that the Washington Nationals have in Cade Cavali first pitch coming up at six 10. Is it get you ready for the start of the game with the support. Start great moment start with support O'bear or whatever your taste preference. Support O has you covered with a variety of Christmas refreshing loggers including light and non alcoholic beers. Support O good with sushi great with baseball before first pitch. Let's head back out to the booth one final time Tim Nebrit and Rick Monday guys. 10 thanks again we're getting you ready for the first pitch of this one and Tyler Glass now will throw it four and oh this season with a 279 ERA.
He'll make his 10th overall start in his third since returning from the injured list last time out against Detroit. Very good seven innings allowed only two hits in one run and Sundays win over the Tigers. He's not allowed many opportunities just a one 59 batting average against him tonight the 10th start he's given just five home runs on the flip side. The Dodgers have to figure out how to get to King Cavali because he has really been a big big story for the Nationals. 30 is start he's 12 and five gives up a very low batting average against him he helps himself out ground bowl double plays 14 already this year. He comes just the second pitcher in Major League Baseball to make his 30th start in Marlon Sandial Contra is the other. Cade Cavali against Tyler Glass now Dodgers and the Nationals coming up from Unicle Field at Dodger Stadium Tim. All right Dodgers first place to top the NL West 10 games up on the Padres 10 and a half games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks as we speak both those teams are losing in their respective games.
The Milwaukee Brewers are the best record in baseball or an arena delay in the bottom of the fourth inning and since the Nadi with a two to one lead but that game again is in a little bit more than a single game delay the Atlanta Braves already lost today so the Dodgers have a chance to pick up some ground and take over second place as far as the nationally standings are concerned but Tyler Glass now on the mound when we come back Dodgers need to take care of business make it three in a row in the wind column first bench when we return enjoy it of Tim Cates and this is your back to back Rolls-Stereo Champion Dodgers audio network.
