WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.160
All right, we continue on,
Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete on a five

2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:07.719
seventy l a sports uh, Rodney, let's just get right to spirituality.

3
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.279
Come on, come on now,
I mean we desperately need it, We

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.960
desperately crave it, and to provide
it, let's welcome on Vic the brick

5
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:24.120
with the daily haikup at two.
Hello Vic. He says, defense is

6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:33.079
a six letter word effort, Fred
Rogan, Thank you, Vic. He

7
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:46.159
always plays the tenacious d oh Rodney
Pete. Y'all tp our full court press

8
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:54.399
of content, Kevin, come on
now, mm hmmm hmm. And the

9
00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:00.840
d has set him free. Roddy
Fazio, he taught only grunt Bill on

10
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:10.920
the streets of Queens King flavor.
Yeah, gotta use the elbow. Moky

11
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:19.239
Bets, listen. I know David
Vessero will be coming on to exalt MOOKI

12
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.359
and of course dv his early prediction
that this will be the year of bets.

13
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.680
But he is so in a groove. And we've seen Moki and grooves

14
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:38.760
before where he just naturally just barrels
everything up. But hitting five hundred to

15
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.680
the first eight games, he has
been just a sensational, just a sensational

16
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:57.280
phenomenon to watch. So Moki is
as hot as ito and green tea.

17
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.040
Meanwhile Otani on his ice cold as
a kiiren beer. What's up with that?

18
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.240
I calls a little strong no,
because I see he's ice cold.

19
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:16.120
I'm getting calls from Japan every Dodger
game saying what's up with seventeen? And

20
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:23.759
all I can say is listen,
he's still making the adjustment, still a

21
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:32.479
new squad. You are not getting
called from Japan after every game over texts

22
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.280
Pick and his beautiful bride as family
Fred. They do get calls, right,

23
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:50.680
Japan wants to know what's going on
with Otani. But maybe mookies insane

24
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.080
Start is created by Otani. Is
that a possibility. We're gonna give him

25
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:02.719
credit for that? Maybe the question
off Mouki, all the pressures on to

26
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:09.000
produce every night, and that was
the whole thing, right it was.

27
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:15.759
The pressure was supposed to be off
Otani from years previous because he had Mouki

28
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.960
and Fetti in such a powerful lineup
and the team around him that he didn't

29
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.280
have to be the hero or the
savior. He could relaxed and go hit.

30
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.439
Listen is human. It's a new
team. It's a new situation.

31
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:37.120
You know, he's coming off you
know the uh, the off the field

32
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.879
miche goats you know, with with
with Epe. So there's a lot going

33
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.639
on in his life. You know, recently married. There's a lot happening

34
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.319
with O son. He's gonna get
it married. They've played, he will

35
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.240
find the way. He's gone hitless
twice in eight games. And when the

36
00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.400
sky is falling, really well,
people, everyone exactly relax. He is

37
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.680
such a naturally born phenomenon, and
he works so hard at his craft and

38
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.199
it's all going to punch in and
it's going to be incredible to watch.

39
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.439
So right now, his swing looks
good. I'll tell you, swing looks

40
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:23.279
good. What looked better if you
hit the ball more? Victor? Friend,

41
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.639
jeez good? I concerned that he's
not hitting. Then you go,

42
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.600
his swing looks good. Not hitting, but he's not hit a home run.

43
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.480
Okay, it's people, you know, specific that's what people are complaining

44
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.839
about. He is hitting. He
is hitting, because you know, he

45
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.959
hasn't hit a home run yet,
everybody's going up in arms, going crazy.

46
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.399
It's like, oh my god,
he's sky is falling. Eight games?

47
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:55.000
Is Kevin mentioned eight games. Relax, relax everyone, and the Dodgers

48
00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.160
are six and two. I know
it's early, small sample size, just

49
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.879
loving the way this team is playing. Last night again, Freddie Freeman,

50
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:12.600
three more hits, he's hitting four
to fourteen, Will Smith crazy heart hitting

51
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.079
four twenty nine. LuxI had his
first extra base hit of the year.

52
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.000
And we're seeking the sweep of the
hated ones tonight. This is fun.

53
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:33.639
The bullpen was relentless last night.
Yarborrow gave up some runs, but he

54
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:42.120
ate up a lot of innings and
Kik can we give some love to Ki

55
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:48.680
k Hernandez Green spikes? What a
game he played, you know, a

56
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:57.519
two runs single, sensational plays in
left field. Yes, so everything's coming

57
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:03.000
together for the Azul you know,
early everything's looking good except Oltani, right,

58
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:10.639
he looks awful. Well, he's
terrible. He's seeking the way.

59
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.600
He will find the way, daring. I'm just have Vic's sources in Japan

60
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.040
tell it. Well, they're nervous. People are nervous. They they people

61
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.160
want instance. It's an instant gratification
universe right now. And trust me,

62
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:31.839
Otani's sign will satiate you. He's
gonna satiate me absolutely. Fred are you

63
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:39.120
kidding me? I can't remember the
last time I was satiated. I'd like

64
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:45.720
a good satiation. Stop it.
Well, old Tiny's son will find the

65
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:51.920
way. But the Dodger's pitching has
been incredible and Glass now goes tonight for

66
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.519
the sweep. But just the way
they hammered Web last night, I mean,

67
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.319
Web has been a nemesis on the
hated ones, and they just grind

68
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.279
grind him out. I mean he
was going on what the fourth inning?

69
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:12.639
It ain't entangled his web? Really, they said, dodge a way,

70
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.959
man. They just they exhaust you. I mean, the one through nine

71
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:23.680
lineup is so wild. So let's
let's revel in that what we were.

72
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:29.759
You were the only one that wasn't
we were? What are you talking about?

73
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.800
Fred? You start by people are
concerned about Otani? Yeah, I'm

74
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:39.680
so. I'm talking about people in
Japan are concerned about Otani sign because they

75
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.199
want instant gratification. And I'm calming
everyone down. They relax, relax,

76
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.839
all right, we'll get back to
VIC. Relax. We gotta take a

77
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.560
minute and catch our breath. We
gotta relax. We'll get back to VIC

78
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:56.519
in a bit. Up Next,
David Vance will join us. Hey,

79
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.519
Yeah, come on down the stretch
to beat Fred Rugan Bick Brick Jacobs.

80
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.560
Hey, but we got a special
guest coming home. Yes we do,

81
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.480
come on, Freddy, Yes we
do. Let's welcome in on now,

82
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.240
David Vass Hey, Dave. As
we get ready for the game tonight,

83
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.639
how are you? I feel like
Fred, we should just every caller that

84
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.240
calls into Dodger Talk asks me how
I'm doing. I think we should all

85
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.519
just assume I'm doing great. Oh
did they always ask you how you doing?

86
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.000
Yeah? Yeah, we don't need
the pleasantries. Fred, Well,

87
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.519
you work so hard, Dave.
Dave, you're on the grind man.

88
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.360
You're coming back from Korea. You're
a global traveler. Now you're you're out

89
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.559
of the stadium all day. You're
in the rain, you're in the sunshine.

90
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.279
I think people, you know,
there's a love affair with you and

91
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.159
the fans, so people want to
know I'm at the ball I'm at the

92
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.240
ballpark, guys, so life could
be a lot worse. I'm doing great,

93
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.519
all right, Dave. Let's start
with this. Jack Harris wrote about

94
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.960
it. I think it's brilliant and
who knew it was that I that innovated

95
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.159
this going with the bullpen game,
and some questioned, why are you going

96
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.440
with a bullpen game so early in
the year. To me, it's just

97
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.279
going to be standard operating procedure,
now, am I right? Well,

98
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.000
Fred, if you've been listening when
I've been on your show, I've been

99
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.519
explaining the fact that the last ten
years since Shave Rockerling has been the manager,

100
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.919
they've been maneuvering their rotation to give
their pictures five days rest as much

101
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.639
as possible. And that's what I've
been screaming from the mountaintop since people like

102
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.960
Jack Harris want to make it some
sort of a new thing. Now,

103
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.200
it's not that's a false narrative under
Andrew Freeman. It's been happening in a

104
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.600
while. And I told you that
yesterday, Fred. I told you that

105
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.639
the day before. Fred, So
I guess you only take Jack Harris's word

106
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.080
for things. No. I knew
they were going with a bullpen game,

107
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.320
Dave. But the point is now
other people are on, wait a minute,

108
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.039
this early in the year, and
let's be honest, Dave, For

109
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.879
most observers, it is surprising that
they would go to that this early in

110
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.360
the year. But now it's more
a course of philosophy than something they need

111
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.120
to do later to preserve arms right. And do you know how Jack Harris

112
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.360
got that narrative is because during Dave
Roberts press conference, when everybody was peppering

113
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.639
him like this was a new thing, I pointed out in that press conference

114
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.320
before the game yesterday that this is
not anything new. Dave Roberts has been

115
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.039
doing this for a while. And
that's where Dave pointed out and wanted everybody

116
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.000
to know that they were the trendsetters
and all this absolutely, Fred s ain't

117
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.799
nothing new. Been doing this for
years, since Dave Roberts was the manager.

118
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.159
Andrew Freeman came on, they've been
doing bullpen games. I don't know

119
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:56.519
why everybody asked surprised about the Dodgers
and Fred's got other priorities right now.

120
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.559
You know he's not listening. Come
on, Fred, come on, dude,

121
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.039
what are we doing? Hey,
Dave? Games like last night,

122
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:11.080
you know, wasn't pretty, wasn't
great. There were moments that were good

123
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:18.240
though. Those kind of games like
last night are games that you know,

124
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.480
you look up in August, September, October that that you look back and

125
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.120
those are the games you gotta win. And you should win, and they're

126
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.840
gonna come up and they're going to
add up. But the Dodgers feel like

127
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.320
they've got so much talent that games
where they don't even play well, they're

128
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.080
gonna win. Yeah, you know, I thought they played a really good

129
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.000
game yesterday, going back to just
the fact that they had a bullpen game

130
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.720
going up against Logan Web. You're
playing with house money right there. Yeah,

131
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.440
You're you're trying to keep the big
picture in mind, and you end

132
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.240
up winning a game that you probably
had no business winning against a guy that

133
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.120
was the runner up to Blake Snell
and by Young last year. So I

134
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:07.799
thought last night was a really well
played game, not just offensively but defensively.

135
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.279
Next month he made a nice play, k played great left field.

136
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.799
So in totality, that may have
been the best played game by the Dodgers.

137
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.120
Hey, Dave Vick came on earlier
and said people keep calling him from

138
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.240
Japan, which of course we don't
believe, but nonetheless he said it,

139
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.799
and uh, they want to know
what's wrong with Otani. Well, there's

140
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.000
really nothing wrong with Otani, is
there, Dave? Who do you believe

141
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:39.840
more these days? Vic or Otani? Oh? Good point. Who do

142
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:45.879
you believe more? Well, that's
a question, Fred, what do you?

143
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.639
What do you? What are you
saying? What do you what's your

144
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:52.480
answer? Uh, well, I'm
gonna say I believe Otani. Moore,

145
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.559
Well that's a you know, I'm
not going to disparage BIG's integrity, Fred,

146
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.320
No, he likes to really stretch. I'll say Vic stretches reality.

147
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.960
It's a good way to put it. A little bit too liberally, that's

148
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.200
a good way to put it.
Vic says he's getting calls from everybody,

149
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.960
you know, half the population in
Japan that are concerned about Otani. But

150
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.799
there's not really a concerned day,
right. Everybody wants I know, everybody

151
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.240
wants him to hit a home run
every time he comes up to the plate.

152
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.039
But come on, we got a
whole bunch of ball games and a

153
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.559
lot of games left. Can we
just have people just relax on him right

154
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.080
now and let the team just play
because it will come right. I mean,

155
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.919
this is overreaction right now. Yeah, let's see what he does at

156
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.799
Wrigley Field. This is his last
game of his first homestand with the Dodgers,

157
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.159
and I looked it up last night
and he's a two ninety four hitter

158
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.879
at Dodgers Stadium in his career,
including last night's game. But in fifty

159
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.120
one at bats he only has one
home run. And let's not forget guys,

160
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.559
he is coming off another elbow surgery, so maybe the power is not

161
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:13.080
going to be forty home run power
like he had last year. I believe

162
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.960
we all take that part of this
for granted, that he's out there playing,

163
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.600
swinging the bat, even while every
other day he's thrown from about fifty

164
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.799
feet and throwing at the same bilappy
as my nine year old. So I

165
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:33.320
mean this is a part of it
as well. Dave, you mentioned before

166
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.039
the season Mookie Betts was going to
have an MVP year, But my god,

167
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.279
I mean he is right now,
I think the most exciting player in

168
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.759
baseball. How difficult will it be
for him to maintain this? Well,

169
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.120
that's always been his goal. He's
had months like he's having to start this

170
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.879
year, and then he has down
months as well. So last year he

171
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.080
wanted to be more con assistance and
Freddie Freeman has told me that you're going

172
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.399
to have months where you're unconscious,
right, but the months that you're not

173
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.879
so great, you want to cover
around two to eighty right to be your

174
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.840
so called bad monk or down monk, and that's the goal for Mookie Betts

175
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.639
this year. But he continues to
say after games, I just want to

176
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.519
win. I just want to win. And I mean him openly saying yes

177
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.799
I'll play shortstop, Yes I'll lead
off for you and still play at a

178
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.960
high level. Speaks volumes more than
any words that he may have after a

179
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.120
game. Absolutely, Dave, Hey, Dave Well, I was at least

180
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.399
I was, and I know a
lot of fans were looking forward to this

181
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.679
year with Jason Hayward, him coming
back, obviously his leadership in the locker

182
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.679
room in the clubhouse, but also
his play on the field. What's the

183
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.320
latest on his back? And he
saw a specialist. Any update on my

184
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.000
status? Yeah, Dave Roberts said
yesterday Rodney that the scans were negative.

185
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.480
And right now we just got word
from the Dodgers they have officially placed Hayward

186
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:11.559
on the injured list with lower back
tightness and they have added added the outfielder

187
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.279
they claimed off waivers from the Mariners, left handed hitting Taylor Trammel. So

188
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:21.919
Hayward goes to the IL. He
won't play in Chicago, and Trammel has

189
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.879
been added just because he's left handed. He's about twenty five years old,

190
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.759
a top prospect in the Red and
Mariners organization. He just has to this

191
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.519
point has not reached expectations. So
we'll see whether or not the Dodgers hitting

192
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.960
gurus can do something to make him
better. All right, well, Dave,

193
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.759
thanks for coming on. Good and
pose always nice job. Retaining is

194
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.159
the key, Fred, Retaining is
the key. I got to make a

195
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.240
note of that. I'll write it
down in ink. Retaining is the key.

196
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.799
All right, goodbye, Dave.
I'll have Jack Harris right about it

197
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.399
for you. But there it is. Oh no, here, do that

198
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.960
then, I promise I'll see it. Have Jack Harrison. Bye, Dave.

199
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.079
Uh. Dodgers take out the Giants, sid out of Dodgers Stadium,

203
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.480
when we come back, you know, we had to interrupt Vic for Dave,

204
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.079
so Vic will be back with more
of his musings and the high coup

205
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:32.119
winding it down. Come on now, Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan Vic the

206
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.960
break. Jacob still got to get
that spirituality, Fred gotta bring him back.

207
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:41.160
Come on, Vic, Dodger fans
a feel of you and continue to

208
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:47.640
revel in his glorious start a Vic, Vic. Let me ask you a

209
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:55.400
question. Do you want to respond
to what David Vasse said about you?

210
00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:04.519
You mean by stretching the reality?
Yes, well everyone knows my philosophy of

211
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:11.079
tranquility, harmony, purity and respect. Yes. What does that have to

212
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:18.000
do with you stretching the reality?
Well, I'm basically putting out the emotional

213
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.160
fires of frustration from my you know, relatives in Japan, just you know,

214
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.920
wondering about Otanis And I'm just calming
everyone's nerves, that's all. Calming

215
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:32.519
them. Take a deep breath,
Take a deep breath, his son,

216
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.680
that's the bottom line, that's the
truth. That's love had died, that's

217
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.039
their love or dot deep breath,
deep breath. What have we seen in

218
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.359
the last six years in Anaheim?
What have we seen? The greatest baseball

219
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.480
player on the planet is what we've
is what we've seen, and he will

220
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.640
he will continue to roll out big
numbers take time. It's kind of like

221
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.000
one of those if a tree falls
in the forest situations there. Victor Aaron

222
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.559
Judge was pretty good for a coup. It comes to baseball and Anaheim the

223
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:07.480
last few. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying. Yeah, no playoffs bursts.

224
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.640
Probably two home runs the other night. Did anybody see him? Did

225
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:18.839
they really count? Well? I
know he's he has three homers. Taylor

226
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.960
Ward's got three homers, and the
Angels have one fourth straight. That's the

227
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.680
bottom line of the Angels. Since
Washington called that players only come to Jesus

228
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.000
meeting the coach players. I don't
know if they call it the coach can

229
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.480
call a player. You guys,
hear him talk. I'm tired of talking.

230
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.799
You figure it out wit here and
listen. Yeah, listen with whatever

231
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.319
Ron Washington said. The Angels listen
because they have real to a four in

232
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.599
a row playing Miami. Will we'll
do that to you. I don't think

233
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.839
they want a game yet. Your
team right now, were they win six

234
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.160
Miami, Yeah, it might be
one seven after this morning. Now,

235
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:02.480
So the Angels. Angels are a
little bit of a groove. I think

236
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.799
Anthony Rendon is still all for twenty
twenty four. Oh lord, no,

237
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.000
he got arrested. I think I
think they chilled him today, but we'll

238
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.160
be tracking Rendolphine. He got an
off day today, He's got an off

239
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.400
date. He has an off day
every day, Rodney, what do you

240
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:25.119
mean? Thank you? Can we
give some love to Jerry West? The

241
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:33.200
transcending iconic Jerry West gets more Basketball
Hall of Fame love today, a record

242
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.440
third taste for the logo, now
getting recognized by the whole as a contributor

243
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.160
his fabulous work done as a GM
with the Lakers, Yeah, Grizzlies,

244
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:52.640
Golden State Clippers, three times into
the Hall for the great West as a

245
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:59.079
player, member of the Olympic team, and now they're so congratulations Jerry.

246
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.920
Could you make the argument because he
has gone in so many times in so

247
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.319
many different roles, he was probably
the most influential player in basketball history.

248
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.599
That's a great call for it.
Argue against. Yeah, are still so

249
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.640
vibrant and so knowledgeable and adding to
the game, you know, twenty four

250
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:29.759
to seven, Jerry West? Yeah
respected? I mean is there another person

251
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:37.920
more respected, like widely respected from
a basketball standpoint? And Jerry West player,

252
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:48.119
coach, you know, executive I
don't know anybody anybody that says anything

253
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:56.039
bad about Jerry West. Unparalleled god
among men, Jerry West. And Jerry

254
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:04.440
West was a fierce fiers competitor.
Oh yeah, he talked more than anybody

255
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:08.519
else. If people talk about,
you know, the Jordans of the world

256
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.799
and big guyes out and stuff,
Larry Bird obviously notorious for talking, mess

257
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.839
with guys and trash talking. Jerry
West was right at the top of that

258
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:26.920
list as well. Competitives. Fellas
you know, we are witnessing a basketball

259
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.079
revolution with the women Women's basketball is
now at its apex. Did you know

260
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.759
the Final four tickets in Cleveland for
the women's Final four are more expensive than

261
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:42.680
men's Final four in Arizona? Oh? Yeah, how about that? Twelve

262
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:51.240
point three million people watched LSU Iowa. I heard a stat today that that

263
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.599
beat all but one regular season college
football game this year Michigan Ohio State,

264
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:03.079
all but one, better than some
NBA Finals games, better than third Yeah,

265
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.640
and it beat all the the NBA
Finals from LASTE except for Game whatever,

266
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:10.039
the last game, but yeah,
the final game last year. Yep.

267
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:26.440
More women power. Taylor Swift Ronnie
hit me. She is now an

268
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:33.079
official billionaire according to Forbes. Forbes, she joins the billionaires club with Oprah,

269
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:45.960
Yes, Jay z Rihanna Tyler,
Perry, bron Magic Johnson, Tiger

270
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:52.720
Woods, Steven Spielberg, Taylor Swift
on that lift. How about the leader

271
00:23:52.599 --> 00:24:03.519
in sports though both ownership, Stan
Kronky, hookey, he's the wealthiest sports

272
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:10.279
owner. He's got more money than
Bohmer wealthiest sports owner. They got Kronky

273
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.200
on that list? Now, is
that just Kronky? Or does that count

274
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:17.000
his wife and her family too?
They may, I think they would have

275
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.519
to count his wife or the family
or whatever. But because it's just him,

276
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.480
you know, yeah, yeah,
yeah, and that only puts him

277
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:33.960
at like one and seventeen on the
list of non sports or anybody. Oh

278
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:38.160
total, Well, congratulations Taylor,
and she's gonna make more money, more

279
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:45.920
money as she embarks on a European
tour with eight gigs in London alone.

280
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:53.960
Man, there's only one thing she's
missing in her life. One the source

281
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.319
Fred Yes Vick the High Crew for
you. This comes from one of our

282
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:07.519
favorite high Crew baseball writers, cor
Van den Hoovel. Oh, Van den

283
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.279
Nuvel, we haven't had him in
a while. Yeah, he wan to

284
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.680
with the with the notthole. I
will say Vic that Fred was a little

285
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:19.559
disappointed and and Brenda Gammon yesterday.
Yeah, he was looking for it to

286
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.759
I think he got a little he
was a little all aroused when their name

287
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.920
came up and then that, uh, it didn't it didn't hit him the

288
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.799
way he wanted it to. Vic. I understand Brenda's got her own style

289
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:40.279
and it's a long baseball season,
Fred, So I just wanted to just

290
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.240
warm you up a little bit with
with Brenda yesterday. But today it's Core

291
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.359
all right. Born in Maine,
his haikup enlightenment came in San Francisco when

292
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.680
he went to a Gary Snyder poetry
reading in North Beach and he discovered the

293
00:25:53.720 --> 00:26:00.279
bliss of five seven five the haikup. That's new information on Core. Yeah,
