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 into Marango Casino Dodgers on deck on this Sunday, September 27th.

You're back-to-back world series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. 99 is 62. They played 161 games and today game 162, the final game of the regular season. Dodgers, your NLS champs, they've already clinched a buy in the wild card round. Today, they look to go into the postseason on a winning note and a sweep of the San Francisco Giants. Jack Dryer gets the start as your opener. It will be a bullpen game for both the Dodgers and the Giants as they look to give this season over with. Dodgers get ready for October baseball. The Giants get ready for a long winter. First pitch from Oracle Park is coming up at 1205 between then and now. We got a lot to get to here on Marango Casino Dodgers on deck. You are going to hear from the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts coming up in less than 20 minutes. We'll preview this pitchy matchup. David Vase goes one-on-one with Dalton Rushing. We got your Dodgers magical moment in just a few minutes. We'll head out to the GALPIN Ford broadcast booth and check in with Tim Never and Rick Monday. Yesterday, it took some late inning heroics from Keke to get the win in San Francisco.

Blake Snehl got the start. His final regular season outing before the postseason begins. Snehl has missed a lot of time with injuries. Only his ninth start here in 2026. Snehl, a high pitch count early. He'll be able to get around some work on traffic on the base pass. Four innings, one run, five hits, three strikeouts. He threw 77 pitches. The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, needed a spin around the lineup before getting going. In the third, finally, with two outs, the leadoff hitter, Mookie Betz. Two old pits. Mookie swings. It's a drive. Deep left field. This ball heading back to the wall. It is GALPIN HUMRON. Mookie Betz makes it one-nothing Dodgers with his 23rd home run of a season. Two outs shot. He got a cutter that was left right over the middle of the plate. Felt high. And Mookie says goodbye. Mookie sends it over the wall. His 23rd home run of this season, his seventh of the month is September.

Stay hot, Mookie. Dodgers, a one-nothing lead. That lead was gone though in the bottom of the third when the giants got a turner hill, sack fly to tie the game in one and the fourth. Dodgers was some of that offense when the bottom of the lineup this time. Miguel Rojas and RBI single. Dodgers up to the one. The Tommy Edmond in RBI single. Dodgers had three to one lead. Blake Snehl. He went to four innings, turned it over to the bullpen. Alex Fessia scoreless fifth. Chris Bubich scoreless six. Brock Stewart gave up an RBI triple in the seventh. That made it to three two Dodgers lead. Then in the eighth, Evan Phillips gave up a run as the giants tied the game at three. So going to the top of the ninth Dodgers needed some offense. Who would it come from? How about Mr. October with some magic here in late September? Call 1877, cars for kids now. That's cars with a K to donate New York guy today. KK swings hammers a deep left center. Way back in Don and KK Hernandez gives the Dodgers a four to three lead with a lead off home run of the ninth.

Oil lightning bolt 429 feet. Way up in the bleachers. KK Hernandez usually gets it done in October, but he did it yesterday here in September. That home run is ninth of the season. That one in the ninth is fourth of the season. Ninety-ninth is a Dodger. Dodgers a four to three lead. The bottom of the ninth along to Tanner Scott. He would put up a zero ball game over. Dodgers win four to three. Evan Phillips the win. Tanner Scott to save with the win. The Dodgers now 99 wins on this season. Best road record in baseball at 48 and 32. Today game 162. Final game of the regular season. Jack Dryer on the mound. First pitch coming up at 1205 with more. We head out to the Gampon Ford broadcast booth as we welcome in. Tim Devert and Rick Monday guys. Tim thank you very much and good morning to you as we get ready for this one. The final game of the regular season game 162. It's the Dodgers and the Giants. The Dodgers going for a three game sweep. They're going for win number 100. At 99 and 62. They've won seven straight against the Giants.

And their road record right now the best in Major League Baseball 48 and 32. They've won 17 of the last 22 ball games with a run differential of plus 51. The meantime the Giants are 65 and 96 and at no time in the Giants franchise history have they ever won 65 games exactly in a season. Today might be that day you never know. It'll be a parade from the bullpen today. A couple of openers Jack Dryer the left hander five and two and a 3.16 earned run average going for the Dodgers. Carson Seymour has been tabbed to go first for the Giants today. Seymour 0 and 2 and a 4 7 0. ERA well game 162 Moe but the Dodgers are putting out a representative lineup because they know they don't play for about a week. So Otoni will lead off and then bats and Freeman and they're expecting these guys to get some at bats today. The only regular that's not in that lineup today at least at the beginning is Will Smith he will probably get the entire afternoon off but we were kidding yesterday.

One thing that we do know in the final game with the Dodgers did not have a hurdle they have to jump over and for the Giants it has been a long season. I mean they currently have 24 players on the injured list the Giants do. So we're going to see a lot of new faces but if you're keeping score folks and a lot of people do it we would recommend that you write small because there's going to be a lot of names and faces in this game. You and I were kind of trying to figure out well what's the over and unders as far as the number of players we may see total today. 38 and a half is what I'm saying right in that area. 37 to 38. We'll go under and I'll go over and we'll see who wins but there's going to be a number of players in this game certainly. Max Muncie keep an eye on Max Muncie today 29 home runs. He's had 11 in this ballpark in his career one of the top totals among active players and for him if he gets to 30 he would join a pretty good group. He would actually tie Eric Caros for the number of 30 home run seasons with the Dodgers at five only Gil Hodges and Duke Snyder had more with six.

Yeah and that to look at the number of beers he's been able to do it as well five. So it works out really well. The Dodgers do not have really a tractor that they have to fire up and run across the field today. But there are some things that they need to tighten up and I think the offense without question needs to be tightened up in particular with runners in scoring position. They've not done a very good job in the last 26 games hitting collectively just 219 and a couple of bats they're trying to figure some things out right at the top of the list. Freddie Freeman and Shohei O'Connie not swinging the bats the way they'd like to at least right now. Up and today if the Dodgers get their 100th win that's going to be a milestone for Dave Roberts. It would be the sixth time in his career. He would have had a season with 100 or more wins only two other managers have ever done that. Both in the Hall of Fame Bobby Cox did it six times. Joe McCarthy did it six times. It's amazing what Dave Roberts has been able to accomplish as a you know the skipper if you will

in running the Dodgers ship in the time that he has been there. It has been one of the elite starts of managers in baseball history and there's no reason to think that it's not going to continue very well and hopefully it's going to continue very well this year. The search for win number 100 will continue here this afternoon. Everybody plays at the same time. We'll have a noon start right here in San Francisco too. All right. Thank you guys as we can't you down to first pitch Dodger fans get that game day meal on at Shaky's Pizza Parlor. What are your Shaky's pizza? Check it. Emotios at shaky's.com coming up here on Marango Casino Dodgers on deck. David Vassay will join us throughout the hour. He's going to go high and tight with Dalton Rushing. We'll hear from the manager Dave Roberts coming up in just a little bit. Latest on the injury front we got your Dodgers magical moment. Charlie Steiner comes by. We break down this bullpen pitch he'd match up. But up next your Otoni Rewind and we'll hear from Kike Hernandez. That's all coming up as we lead up to Dodgers and Giants. Game 162 from San Francisco. I'm Tim Katsus the back to back Rolls-Series champion Dodgers audio network.

This is Marango Casino Dodgers on deck. On your home for the blue all season law. Dodgers and Giants one more time. Game 162, Jack Dryer, Carson Seymour. They're going to be the openers and what's going to be a bullpen game. Guys coming out of those bullpen gates all day long. First pitch coming up at 12.5. This is the Otoni Rewind. Presented by me, Kido Shochu. Well, Shohe Otoni yesterday was one for five. Since coming off the injured list for for 18 with a double in RBI and eight strikeouts. Shohe Otoni looking for some positive results coming into this final game and then heading in to October. Otoni Rewind presented by Nikito Shochu. The official Shochu of the Los Angeles Dodgers discovered Nikito, discovered Shochu. Well, it wasn't Shohe Otoni yesterday. It was Kike providing the big home run in the ninth inning. A solo shot to give the Dodgers a four to three lead. And afterwards, the guy wearing his t-shirt, David Vassay and Kike caught up together. Kike Hernandez delivered more ways than one today,

but more importantly delivered a win. This has been your role. You delivered again. How do you get ready for these type of situations? I mean, in that moment, it was all about competing and trying to get on base. I was still pretty embarrassed about swinging at that pitch. I don't know if I've ever swung a worst pitch than the one I struck out on. And I thought that, you know, maybe you should take your shirt off after I just punched out with a base loaded like that. I'm glad you didn't take it off because it worked. I said never. I would never turn on you that way. But I remember when you first came up, your teams used to have a saying, keep going, keep going. How did you keep going to come up with the big hit like you always do? You know, it's in that situation, like I said. It's about competing. They brought in one of their best horns or closer and a tie game. I'm trying to get on base for the big boys behind me. It just happened on, you know, catch a barrel and ball went really far. And it felt kind of nice. I hadn't heard of ball like that in a long time. Everybody in Dodgerland is already saying it's not even October. You're just getting ready. Yeah, that'd be nice.

One other question. Do I have to wash this to give it back to you? What do I do? Do you just want me to give it to you? We can talk about that later behind, behind closed doors. Okay. Great job, Kike. Thanks for stopping. Thank you. And thanks for the t-shirt. All right. Hopefully he washed the t-shirt before giving it back. Or maybe just Kike said, keep the t-shirt. We'll find out from David later on. This is Dodgers on deck. As we get you ready for first pitch coming up, we're going to hear from Charlie Stein, or your Dodgers magical mom.

Audio Network. As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

Marongo Casino Resort and Spa, a grand slam for good times. Jack Dreyer is the opener today. Expect to see Bobby Miller. Take a bulk of the Indians first pitch coming up at 12. Oh, five. The LA Dodgers injury report brought to you by UCLA Health. Presented by UCLA Health, the official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Blake Trinon goes to the injury list with the shoulder he has done for the year. At Gardo Enriquez on the IEL with the so lower back. Eric Lauer on the 60 day IEL will client also on this 60 day IEL. Let's head back out to San Francisco and check in with the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. Hey, the answer to Dave. Dave, do you think? 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.

All right, Dave. Game 162. You guys have 99 wins. How would 100 sound to you? That would sound great. Yeah, you know, it's been obviously every year's different. It's been such a, you know, it's actually flown by. But we've had a lot to deal with. And so to be on the verge of 100 is pretty impressive. Miguel Rojas said when you guys clinched the NLS, you guys don't get enough credit for being as mentally and physically tough. Do you feel like this team has not been given enough credit about the character and being able to go through some of the peaks and valleys of a season? Absolutely. Absolutely agree with that. I think it's just one of those things where if you can't, those are things that are intangibles. You just can't, it's hard to quantify and wrap your head around it. So, you know, people just expect us to go out there and win 100 games every year regardless and it's not that easy. So a lot of credit to the guys in the room. Do you have a playoff rotation yet?

We're still talking through it. You know, no, no short answer. Thought I'd try. Nice try. Evan and Rokey, are there any other relievers that you need to see today as kind of an an audition or even dress or her silhouette because these things could look like? Obviously Jack, you know, Jack starting, we're going to see those two you'd mentioned. We're going to see Roe both. Obviously with what happened with Blake trying in yesterday, he's on the IEL and then we brought up, we were called Bobby Miller. So you'll see Bobby Miller for sure for a couple of endings and then outside of that it's kind of just played the win the game. I don't. I talked to him today. He's still kind of trying to process it, disappointed obviously. We're going to get an MRI tomorrow. Just, but obviously it's shoulder, it's capsule and we'll just kind of figure it out.

A lot of lefty relievers that you've been choose from which is great, but also makes the decision difficult. What things are you looking at in the GS, the hunt for the carry? I think it's, you know, every guy when you're talking about certainly a short series, there needs to be a specific role. And so with the lefties as you said, it's more of, you know, layering in on how good they are versus left-handed hitters and how they match up versus right-hand hitters and a clean inning length, which isn't as big of a deal in a short series. So we got some really good options. I don't think in this next series that's too big of a factor. I think for us it's just going with, honestly, I think right now it's going to go with our best

arms, our most talented arms, I think in a short series. How long are the regulars going to play today? I'm thinking, show, hey, we'll get probably three at bats. I think Mookie will probably get two at bats. You know, as far as I feel tail can play, I feel tucker can play, I feel Andy can play. I'm going to get tucker out probably three at bats, maybe get call in there. And so yeah, and we'll figure out what Friday and Muncie kind of do. All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts down the dugout. Take your coaching career to the next level.

Elpato brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot sauces right to your plate. Elpato Gormay, in a can. Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck. I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger Insider, David Vassay. All right, GV. Last couple of days, Sunday has been a TBD. We see Jack Dryer gets to start. So what's the pitching plan today? Yeah, well Bobby Miller is in the Dodger Club house. He's going to be activated for today's game because the unfortunate injury to Blake Trinon yesterday as he was warming up. His season's over. He's going on the IEL. No indication about whether or not he's going to go through with any sort of scans to see the extent of the damage in his shoulder. He was considering retirement anyway, Tim. So we'll see where that goes.

But this is going to be a bold game. You're going to see sugar D as you're going to see Justin Robleski. You're going to see Bobby Miller in this game today. And the Dodgers have their regulars out there. So I don't think you're going to see them for all nine, but at least to start the game, they probably will get to at bats to close out the regular season. David Show, hey, Otonius come back. And it hasn't been a big splash in his return on the offensive side. How important do you think it is for him to have some positive results today in order to get ready for game one of that NLDS next week? Because of this long layoff. Yeah, I mean, the most positive result he's had is off of Mason Miller. And I know some of the herb. I can't see the on deck circle from the camera well. But some observed that Otonius wasn't even taking swings from the on deck circle before is that that. Read into that as much as you want. But it just hasn't looked right. Maybe it's rust. He hasn't seen life pitching since he went on the IEL. So I think this series and this period of time

has lent itself to him seeing real pitching to maybe get ready for whatever is to come in October. So that's that's the biggest thing. But I mean, his presence is bred alone, warns him being in the lineup. But I think we all have to continue to read and react. The Dodgers have to read and react, especially about just how much he can give them. No doubt. David is brought to by Ford, the official vehicle, major league baseball Ford is number one in JD powers, new vehicle amongst mainstream brands two years in a row with the built Ford tough truck. You get more capability. See your award winning lineup here, Southern California, Ford dealer today. You mentioned Blake Trinon going to the injured list this season is done. What is the plan now for that roll come October when we get to the NLDS next Saturday game one? Who's going to be that Blake Trinon now? Who's going to step into that role? Well, I mean, they have a lot of guys that they can to plug in. Honourically, Kim, he was on the bubble anyway for the playoff roster. It would have been great to have his experience

to come into a game. But they got guys like image she in that certainly can plug in Rob Leskey. So he was he was on the bubble to begin with. So I'm not sure about how the pitching staff is going to look like for the NLDS. They're going to carry one less pitcher and one extra position player because of the best of five series. And here's something from yesterday's game that is important down the road. The Dodgers with the win yesterday clenched home field advantage against any American lead team. Winner lose today because they hold the tiebreaker against the race who are playing the Phillies. And remember last year, the reason why the Dodgers did not have home field advantage against the blue jays is because the jays finished one game better in the regular season than the Dodgers. So down the road, I know, but something to keep in the back of your mind. The Dodgers have home field advantage in the world series. Should they make it for a third straight year? That is definitely something important for the Dodgers to have no doubt about it. David Gray stuff will check back in with you just a little bit.

Still to come here. Amarago Casino Dodgers on deck. David's going to go one on one with Dalton Rushing. We'll break down this pitching match up. We'll hear from Charlie Steiner. But up next, your Dodgers magical moment Dodgers in giants. First pitch at 1205. I'm Tim Keynes from this is the back-to-back world series champion Dodgers. Audio no word. This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. Wow. On your home for the blue all season law. Dodgers in San Francisco game 162 of the regular season is a wrap things up with the giants Dodgers going for the sweep. Jack Dryer Carson Seymour they're the openers of what is a bullpen game for both teams. First pitch from Oracle Park in San Francisco coming up at 1205. It's time for the Hawfee magical moment. It's magical. It was magical. Presented by Hawfee Hotdogs. Well, we go back to September 29th 2015 in San Francisco.

Clayton Kershaw on that day had himself an afternoon. Here's the two Oak pitch on away. The ground ball hit up the middle coming in his finger. He has it. He throws and the Dodgers are headed to postseason play. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the 2015 National League Western Division champions. For the third consecutive season they win their 14th National League Western Division title. And October baseball they will enjoy for the 29th time in franchise history. And for the 20th time in LA Dodger history. And the Dodgers win at eight to nothing. And there is a large crowd of Dodger players right to the left of the pitcher's mound in Clayton Kershaw is getting high finds. Dodgers hit three home runs against the Giants ace Madison Bob Gardner, including back-to-back shots in the six. Chasing from the game Clayton Kershaw brilliant a complete game. One hit shut out. He struck out 13. Retired the final 19 hitters in a row.

As the Dodgers beat the Giants back in 2015 eight to nothing that clinched their third straight NL West title. This Hathi magical moment brought to my Hathi Hot Dogs Hathi so cows local treasure. For nearly 100 years Hathi Hot Dogs local and so great. When we continue here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck we will check it with Charlie Steiner for leading up to first pitch Dodgers and Giants. I'm Tim Kates and this is the back-to-back World Series Champion Dodgers audio network. As we were saying this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on the official home of LA Dodgers baseball. Dodgers and Giants Jack Dryer Carson Seymour the pitching matchup as the opener's first pitch coming up at 12.5 time now for the Verizon startup as we are 35 minutes away from the start of the game now Verizon you can lock in that low price for three years so you can save big visit your so calvaryzen store today we welcome in Charlie Steiner. All right Jim this is a 187th and final day of the regular season which began back on Wednesday

March 25th Dodgers have been in first place for 180 days and every single day of the season since May the 18th oh by the way the Giants finished their dreadful season in fourth place on the National League West at 65 and 96 34 games behind the Dodgers and the only really outstanding issue in the National League going into the postseason Mo what about the Phillies and what about the Arizona Diamondbacks are we seeing yet another cataclysmic bust for Philadelphia? Well if you if you listen to the soundtrack from Philadelphia in last night's ballgame the level of booze I mean city of brotherly love that was not the case in Philadelphia last night I mean you start to look at some numbers then you have to go back really into the history of the Philadelphia Phillies to see a collapse like they had because they were really sitting in somewhat of the cat bird seat well the cat bird seat fell out of the tree you know we go back long

and up back to 1964 Jean Mach and the Phillies cataclysmic bust back then but now the Phillies were five games ahead of Arizona with eight to play had a four game lead with five games left to play closing in on the 64 Phillies they had a six and a half game lead with 12 games to play and so the Phillies are nervous as all get out and the Diamondbacks they're trying to hang on beat the Podreys today go to the postseason and then that of course would knock Philadelphia out of the perch yeah this is something I mean you come into the final day and I applaud I think all of us feel this way too Charlie is it I know you and I've talked about it having all of the games start at the same time to where one team does not have an edge to hold back a pitcher if they're if they're all of a sudden going to be guaranteed to going to postseason playing batting championships are possibly on the line as well so yeah this is kind of fun to see all the games if weather permits all around the country that's a that's a big story in itself as well so yeah the final day it has a

very large meaning for for a couple of all clubs looking back on yesterday's four two or four three win for the Dodgers Keke appears to be ready for the postseason hit the tie breaking home run in the ninth inning Mookey had another big day Roe Haas's hit well down the stretch snail pitched well yesterday Vesia pitch well yesterday and so it appears as if the Dodgers are really well positioned to head into the postseason the guys who do so well down the stretch did so certainly yesterday yeah there's a couple of guys also if you look at Will Smith I mean Will came into yesterday's ballgame where he wound up going one for three but the previous seven games he hitting it the 458 Teosca Hernandez the last 23 games coming to yesterday's ballgame he went one for three but he was hitting 365 in that area there is a concern if you're looking at it and purely by the numbers and also by the eye test Freddie Freeman is not swinging the bat like Freddie Freeman normally does show Hayotani to this particular point is not swinging the bat and

he's had some well less than stellar swings in this series up here in San Francisco so is that a concern because now you're running out of time the Dodgers do have time on the side overall because they don't have to get on the field and compete again after they until next Saturday but for a couple of guys they're going to need those days I think to try and figure some things out next Saturday game one of the division series Dodgers against somebody because them's the rules line up their first pitch coming up next all right thank you Charlie Dodgers baseball is presented by Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium visit Uniclo dot com slash US still to come here on Marango casino Dodgers on deck before first pitch we'll get you a preview of this pitch he matched up bullpen game for both teams here in game 162 Tim and Rick will have those keys to the game but up next we go high and tight with Dalton rushing Dodgers giants first pitch at 1205 I'm Tim Kates of the Back to Back World Series champion Dodgers audio network hey it's David Vassay and we all know about triple A coming to the rescue when you're stuck on the side of the road well this time

appreciated of course vass i got you a what a season for you i know it's been difficult going through the elbow injury and all that but have you had time to kind of just take inventory on everything yeah i mean you the good the bad the ugly you uh you try and keep it all in back your head and understand what you did well what you struggle with and uh yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna take the good and i'm gonna run with it um yeah there's a lot to take in from the season but like you said there's a lot of good to also think about well how is the right elbow feeling it's good it feels really good um yesterday first about and some time obviously so uh i felt good in there felt comfortable um felt like i was convicted and uh that was the main thing um i'm just looking forward to uh probably once this season gets wrapped up we get it's another trophy and i can start throwing again and kind of get a ramp up and an idea of what the next step is in this role coming off the bench for one at bat it's much different than obviously getting

four at bats do you have to change a mindset to be ready for this role yeah you um you have to take your safety off a little bit it has to be um you have to be on go from the start uh the first pitch you see off the bench maybe the best pitch to hit that you get through the whole at bat so uh on that end it's uh little more everyone likes to say it's pressurized a little bit of it at bat um it's really just freedom like you're you're going up there and you kind of have to take the at bat with nothing to lose you know um because you don't know you don't know if you're gonna get a pitch to hit like i said after the first what's it gonna be like for you in this group these five days how much are you looking forward to being part of the ride this October i think it's uh see it 24 or i think it's like really truly be a part of it in 24 i was around um but i mean even just not being a fly on the wall around that time it's pretty special it was cool uh we all obviously spend as much time as possible with each other in those five days and uh stay as close and connected as possible so uh yeah i'm looking forward to it i think it'll be a good reset for everyone

um and obviously we'll be watching a lot of baseball to see who we take on next before i let you go how special of a group is this it's pretty special um i mean you kind of you see it from afar i think everyone that watches the game and sees what we do obviously on a field um it is pretty special but i think what goes on outside of the baseball field is kind of what makes this group as good as we are and uh we have leader on leaders everywhere in this clubhouse so it's uh it's easy to obviously support one another and it's also just easier to go out there and play the game you love when uh you get guys like this surrounding it i know there's a whole month of baseball left but it has been a pleasure to watch you go about your business and grow as a player and a teammate and all that so keep it going and i i mean that i appreciate it yeah sorry broke the rules broke the rules all right thank you to david thank you to dot and rushing final game of the regular season coming out shortly as we lead jump to first page from san francisco dodgers and the chis but up next we'll dive deeper in this pitchy matchup don't you go anywhere i'm tim kates and this is the
