All right, we continue on Fred Rogan Rodney Peat on five seventy LA Sports,
A big, big, two hour show today, So already in the
home stretch, big Titanic. Come on, Roger. Dodgers are in Colorado
right now. They're getting set to go because it's a mountain time game.
We're only on for two hours today. Mookie not with the club hands,
specially checking him. They better take all four of these games, if not
definitely three of them. I mean, Colorado's awful, awful. They're eighteen
games back, Fred, and it's only June sixteenth, seventeenth, whatever it
is today, seventeenth, June seventeenth. They're eighteen games back at the Dodgers.
Come on, man, what are they doing in Colorado? You know
you don't put them in the city? Win there? Yeah, and you
win there? I think you can. You don't put them. We did,
right, they went to the they went to the World Series once,
you know they did. But but because of the air, you can't find
pitchers don't want to go there, that's number one, right, because of
the altitude and the ball flies out of the park. But they got a
park conducive for pitching because it's a big Park Giant, so they kind of
compensated for that. But why can't they win? They're like I was gonna
say, they're not mentioned in the same breath, but really, why aren't
they They're the Oakland A's, Yeah they are, which is not good,
but they are. I mean, you know, before the season starts,
honestly, they got no shot, you know, before they even throw the
first pitch or the first game. These guys don't have a shot. Yeah,
yeah, every what ten years, they'll make a run, they'll make
the playoffs. Maybe, you know, it was that year that the Dodgers
had to go one sixty two with them member. They haven't heard from him
since that was what nine years ago, eight years ago when they did that.
I haven't heard from him since, you know. And they've had players,
They've had great players go through that organization. Nolan Arenado, DJ le
Mayhew, I mean Blackman. I mean, they've they've got players, but
they can't win. Can't win there, you know, I mean it's a
different story why they can't win, you know, because they're cheap and they're
you know, you know, the billy ball doesn't you know, moneyball doesn't
doesn't work, is the reason. Why. Andrew Friedman said, I got
to get out of there. I got to come to somebody's got some money.
I have the same philosophy, but I you know, when I need
to when I need to pay for Otani, I got to be able to
pay for him. Right. What's the difference between the Rockies. What's the
difference between the Rockies and the Angels? The Angels have not been as bad,
but they're not good? Why? Why not? Why not the Angels
that? I don't know. When's the last time the Angels been in the
playoffs, like hundred years ago? I believe it. Rocky's been in the
playoffs sooner than more recent than the Angels. Right, that is correct.
Yes. The interesting thing is Bud Black. Bud Black must be like the
greatest guy or knows how to manage up well or something. For as long
as he's stuck in San Diego, he got pictures. Yeah, I guess
he got because he was in San Diego forever and they were mediocre his entire
time there. He's been in Colorado since twenty seventeen and they've had two winning
seasons and those are his first two seasons there. And he's still there.
Yeah, he's got pictures on. Somebody got no disrespect to Bud Black.
He's a great guy. You know, I love him. He was out
here at the Angels for years. But it's like, man, but I
think they you know he's there as he's because he's a steady force. He's
he's well respected, and I think from an organizational standpoint, they know it's
very difficult to win there. So I don't care if you bring you know,
you bring back Sparky Lyles and Billy and those guys that come back and
manage that team. It's gonna be difficult to win in Colorado. It's just
a tough place. But they can do it. They can, all right.
So we'll see if the Dodgers take them all up there, all right.
So I was stunned. Over the weekend, Charles Barkley came out and
said, I don't care what happens with the TNT deal. I am done
after next year. I am retiring from television. I think that caught everybody
off guard. Yeah, yeah, I was not as surprised as most because
I know he hinted it at that not too long ago. Then they gave
him a big, old, gigantic deal. And he was like, Okay,
I'm back. But I think with the recent developments of the deals happening
and whether or not TNT gets the deal with the NBA or not, it's
kind of, you know, forced him into a situation. I still think
this is headlines right now because the push comes to shove. If they figure
out to make it work with that crew, and they figure out, okay,
whether it's whether it's Turner Turner, it's Warner Brothers, right, turn
it, whether they figure out a way to kind of get some of the
some of the NBA or those guys get hired at Amazon or somewhere else,
he may have a change of heart and he may like, well, it
was a little premature in my retirement, I'll come back. I think he's
I think I don't think the door is closed on that. To be honest
with you, I really don't knowing Knowing Charles, I don't because he's the
type of guy that they would make of all of those guys. He's the
type of guy that they would make him an offer he couldn't refuse unless you's
talking to the Lakers. What he Ain't you ever hear his comments about the
Lakers? Yeah, he ain't talking to Lakeln'll want nothing to do with him.
But yeah, no, if Amazon soon comes in, and you know,
Bezos says, give them, give those guys, Ernie and the crew
whatever they want. We want, we want them here at Amazon, whatever
they want because they're the best in the business. He would he would have
to really seriously consider that. I agree with you, but it did catch
me off guard a little bit. I agree that. I think, yeah,
I'm done for now because that show is not the show without Charles.
It's not a show. No disrespect to Kenny and and Shaq is Gray and
all that. You know, Ernie is the glue. I would. I
would argue that next to Barkley, Ernie, Ernie the most valuable person on
that show. One thousand percent correct. I agree with you. He is
the guy. People don't understand what it's like to be that job, to
do that job, to be in that position. They really don't because the
guys that do it make it seem so simple and easy and seamless. That's
hard. That's a that's a tough job. To keep it moving, no
one to jump in, no one to have the line, and he does
it better than anybody. Yep, yep, not even close. It's not
even close. And and to navigate those personalities and those egos and knowing how
to win the joke and when to pull it back and how far do I
go? How far do I push this? All that kind of stuff.
Ernie does it better than anybody. But yeah, he is, you know,
obviously Barkley. Barkley is the guy because everybody hangs on with Charles because
nobody knows what's gonna come out of Charles's mouth. It's the best part.
But Ernie is the one that holds it all together and he's the he's the
second most valuable person. But I do believe that if they came and offer
those that them as a team to move somewhere else, then Charles would would
really consider it. Come out of come out of retirement before you retire.
Yeah, I think so too. I think it. Over the weekend,
we had Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark go at it. Don't know if the
rivalry, yeah, I don't know. If you saw the clip Caitlyn Clark
going to the hole, here comes Angel Reese, She's going to block the
shot and basically tried to be header. Okay, so what do you what
do you think about that? Here's so I looked at that million times,
me too, and and and and people have debated it obviously over the weekend,
and and and and here's the thing. People have. People have taken
this whole situation with Caitlyn Clark and the w n b A, people that
don't have never watched w n b A or even watch sports, have turned
it into a political agenda. Now right, it's a black white thing,
it's a it's a women versus men thing. It's all those things that people
that never watched in their lives. Now all of a sudden, they're they're
heavily involved in the w n b A, and it's unfair. And Caitlyn
Clark and blah blah blah, and she's doing this and she's look it to
me, first of all, if if Caitlin Clark is not overly upset about
it and complaining about it, then nobody else should. Let's start right there.
She's like, it's it's good, it's part it's part of the game.
I understand it. I'm gonna get you know, I'm gonna get hard
fouled. She's handling it better than anybody could even dream of. She has
been unbelievable and her comments and the way she's handled this whole situation. So
I give her one hundred percent props on this. She is a superstar when
it comes to not on the court, not only on the court, but
off the court, and the way she handles her press conferences in their interviews,
she is unbelievable. But if you watch, really watch that play,
she was not Angel Reese was not head hunting. She was not head hunting
if you watch it, she was actually going for the block. And if
you watch your eye, her eyes were at the ball, watching the ball,
trying to block the shot. Now she clipped her on the head,
and yes, it went down. And it's Angel Reeves versus Caitlyn Clark and
they've had a rivalry back to college, and which is great again, great
for the WNBA, I believe. I believe it's great for the WNBA.
And Angel Reeves is not quite the player, the superstar, performer that Caitlyn
Clark is, but she's holding her own as those two as rookies are as
good as any rookies that ever came into the league. I mean, people
don't understand this. Angel Reese is a walking double double. She's getting twelve
in ten or twelve and twelve every single game she's played. She's a walking
double double. Caitlyn Clark is a slow start, but she's playing better and
is you know, is doing as good as anybody in the league right now.
I think she's one of two or three players now that is averaging fifteen
points a game, five assists, and five rebounds. So she is,
she is, she is doing better than people think that she's doing. But
it's good that there's a rivalry like that. You know, Angel Reese,
Yes, he's trying to be the Draymond Green of the w n b A.
It is good. It happens in all sports when a when a superstar
face that comes in as this, the Savior of the Faith. Lebron went
through this. Bryce Harper went through this, and as a baseball player,
they threw at him every single game Bryce Harper because he's his hair was long
and he had the head band, and and people hated him because the way
he looked and it wasn't traditional baseball, and people, the traditionalists hated Bryce
Harper, but he withstood it and it was good for baseball. And now
it's really good for baseball. This is this is okay. I think people
are so overreacting to what is going on with this and Caitlyn Clark that it's
it's absurd. It really is because Caitlin Clark is not upset about it,
she's not going crazy about it, So why should everybody else come to her
to She doesn't need anybody to defend her. She can do it on her
own. She can do it on her own. And it was it was
more so than the other one with the girl checked her. She should have
been ejected from that game. Kennedy should have been ejected from that game.
This was a basketball play. It was an actual basketball play going for a
block. So, I mean, I get it's a flavoring because she hit
him, she hit her in the head, but that's not Let's not overreact
about it, all right. I agree with you. Caitlin Clark is handling
it perfectly. She gets it. She kind of she kind of took your
advice a couple of weeks ago. You said, you know, she gotta
she gotta put up with it. She's the hot rookie coming into the league.
She hasn't made any made any bone. She hasn't fought with anybody about
it. Hey, you know, I understand what this is about. In
this particular play that was flagrant. It was a basketball play. I agree
with you, that was a basketball play. But you can't behead someone or
attempt to in a basketball play. And she hit her high and hit her
in her head and down she went. It's a flagrant file. That's it.
No more. I'm not saying she did that whether whether you whether you
intend to or not. Right, it's a basketball play. It's a basketball
play. I agree, Yeah, it's flagling. Well, and the NBA
it's that way. I don't know how what the rules are in w NBA,
but it changes if you don't if you yeah, there's the intent doesn't
have anything to do with it. Like if you go up and you're trying
to block a shot and you happen to behead some money or hit him in
the head. In the NBA, it's a flagrant because you hit him above
the above the neck. It's about the same in both. You know,
Flagrant too is really where whether the intent comes in, whether or not you
intended to make a basketball player you were just trying to basically injure somebody.
So that's kind of the distinction between a flagrant want and a flagrant two.
No, I don't think she was trying to think an angel reath. I
don't think she was trying to injure her. I don't think she was trying
to behead her. She was, you know, it's gonna go for a
hard foul. But I think if you watch it, her eyes are are
on the ball and the layup to try to block the shot, and she
came across hard. She got beat on the play, you know, Caitlyn
blew buyer, and she got beat and she tried to recover and went after
But I don't think it was an intent time I'm gonna take her head off
now, I don't think so either. We have we have sound from Angel
Reaves. Let's hear it. Well, a basketball player, I can't control
the last effected the game obviously a lot tonight. I think we went up
really strong a lot of times, and we didn't get a lot of calls.
And going back and looking at the film, I've seen a lot of
calls that weren't made. I guess some people got a special whistle, But
just being able to play hard as best as we can all right, Well,
we didn't get a lot of calls and there's a special list. We
don't need to hear that. But what happened was she made a basketball play.
I agree with that. Now here's what Caitlyn Clark had to say about
it. She was a part of basketball. That is what it is,
you know, trying to play, make a play on the ball and get
the block. But yeah, I mean, it happens. I think it's
just the emotion and the passion that we play with. I think people love
to see that, and I think that's maybe not something that was always appreciated
in women's sports, and it should be. I think that's what makes it
fun. Like people are, we're competitors. That's the way the game should
be. It's gonna get a little fisty, it's gonna get physical, but
at the end of the day, both teams are just trying to win.
Why can't people accept that? Right there? I mean right there, because
that's what happened with you know, the Detroit Pistons and the Celtics, and
then the Pistons finally pushed over the Pistons in the Chicago Bulls the way they
treated Michael Jordan when he came into the league and the way they were physical
with him. That was part of the growing process. And what she just
said right there, Caitlin Clark just said right there, was that accepted.
I mean, the w NBA is trying to compete and trying to be on
the same level with the NBA and trying to get people to embrace it,
like like the those plays and those these rivalries need to be in place,
and it's okay for her and Angel Reese not to like each other. It
goes back to college. It's Larry Bird Magic Johnson in college that manifested himself
into the NBA. It's the same thing here. It's okay, nobody has
to keep running. To Caitlyn Clark's defense, this is okay for the w
NBA to be a little bit physical and to be a little bit edgy,
because I think it's good for the sport. Like Green, Caitlin Clark's playing
it perfectly. Angel Reese has become Draymond Green. I'm not a huge fan
of Draymond, so I'm not a huge fan of Angels And I thought you
nailed that one thousand percent. She's Draymond Green. That's exactly what she is.
She's Draymond Green. Matter like Draymond Green. I don't really like her,
So there you go. It's the exact same thing. No disrespect to
either one of them. I think Caitlyn Clark's handling it perfect. Both play
their part, Yeah, know what they have to do. Caitlin Clark plays
it perfectly. Angel Reese, that was a flagrant file done nothing more.
She wasn't head hunting, she didn't try to undercut her. She won for
the ball. She hit her in her head, and it's a file and
that's the end of it. That's the end of it. Yeah. Yeah,
let it be that. Let it be that. Let's not go into
any kind of political thing or everybody hates Caitlyn and all that kind of No.
No, it's basketball, and let women be as competitive and as feisty
as men. I'll tell you, I'll be feisty. They can be feisty.
After what happened to movie and he's next. All right, come on,
let's keep it moving. Hey, two hours show today, Short one.
Dodgers are in Colorado, so we got to get right to the high
coup. Let's go Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan and our man getting ready to
come home. All right, let's do it. Let's bring him on right
now, Victor Break, He's got the daily high coup and Victor Afternoon.
He says, the Lakers know the number with JJ Reddick, Fred Rogan,
Yeah, we will be the right number. Vic. The Ain know a
number, but it will be the right number. He transcends numbers. Rodney
Pete, Oh yeah, number one. More Jbah his number. It's priceless.
Kevin Figures, Oh, come on now, it's very kind of you
to say, Vic, love it, dot Shah love heard that. And
Ronnie, don't lose that number. She's got a number, y'all King flavor
in the house. Yeah. Well, let's face it, every Dodger fan,
every Dodger was writhing in pain with Mookie. That was so hard to
take, so difficult to digest what happened with MOOKI you know, obviously the
energy of the team. You know, he was he was having an MVP
season, you know, the switch to shortstop. He was getting it,
man, he was getting it. He was hitting over three hundred the Galvanizer
and to go down in such a fashion. I'm still I'm still kind of
freaked out. But after you know, watching it a couple of times,
he's hit by the ninety eight mile an hour fastball by a Royals pitcher who
is basically Flotsam and Jetsam are relief freak, and the Royals were just looking
for innings for this guy, Dan Altavilla with a twenty two and a half
of the ra Listen, I know it was an accident. He wasn't head
hunting, but just inspecting what happened. You know, here's this guy out
the Via who the world's burning out there for innings. He should be in
the minor leagues, he shouldn't be in the major leagues out the Via and
he breaks the hand of Mookie. You know, it's very painful. It's
hard to digest. Who was the guy that pitched for the Giants a couple
of years ago. They kept hitting the Dodgers, remember make you You probably
remember the guy. The guy was hitting everybody, same deal. I mean,
the worlds were not going to come back. Yes, there were down
three, nothing, they were not coming back. Uh, you don't throw
out pictures with no control. I'm sorry, just that's just my way of
hardbare. I'm not experimenting with guys, you know, who don't know the
strike zone. And I mean Mooki gets gets out of the way of every
pitch. He's so athletic at the plate, you know. But this this
picture was such a freak, you know, ninety eight miles an hour,
you know, right into his hand because the guy had no control. He
shouldn't have been out there, you know. I don't know the Kansas City
World's minor league franchise, but he should have been there, not on the
mound, the Dodgers staying there on Father's Day, you know, and and
hitting you know, all Moki, so that I was second to my stomach
because of the situation. And you know, we're all with Muki on a
quick heel, you know, like Muki said, you know what happens.
He you know, he had no ill feelings. You know, it wasn't
intentional, and you know, Mooky total class, as with the Dodgers in
the aftermath. But there's a lot of angst, you know, right now
with myself and I'm sure a lot of Dodgers and Dodger fans, you know,
losing Mooki. We don't know how long, maybe a month, maybe
two months. We don't know the extent of the injury, but luckily no
surgery, and then we also lose Yamamoto sign and Fred you're right to be
uh, very acutely aware of the injury because it's no longer triceps tightness.
You know, it's a strange rotator cuff. So again fifteen day injured list
for Yamamoto. We wish Yo should more a very quick heel. But that
also I was like one two punch do our guts this weekend. And then
you know Michael Grove also is banged up. M Grove will be out for
I'm not sure how long. So just a lot of injuries to the Dodgers.
Yes, they took two out of three from the worlds glass now is
unbelievable a glass now the ace, I mean, those were seven brilliant innings.
Knowing the Dodgers needed needed the series win. You know, the leaf
of Colorado on an upward beat glass that was sensational, hardy strong, Evan
Phillips gets to save and again Bobby Miller will be coming back in Colorado.
So that's a plus, and it's great to see the show. Otani rip
a couple of blasts yesterday eighteen and nineteen. Once was I think four hundred
and fifty one feet. So it's good to see y'all. Good to see
the show. All right, we're gonna see more, We're gonna hear more
about what he saw. Please come on now, let's finish this thing up.
Roddy Pete, Fred Rogan, Vic, the brick Tacobs, Come on,
Vic, Come on, Vic. Dodger fans feeling you. We feel
Mookie's pain and we're sending our good vibes to Mooke. Heal quickly as well
as you'm a motor sign. On the bright side, Clayton Kershaw had an
excellent pen over the weekend, so he'll be doing some starts at Rancho.
So that's it. That's some good news there. Remember first pitch tonight five
forty with the Big Maple James Paxton for the Azul Morongo Casino. Dodgers are
like four point thirty with Tim Case Big Maple Man. Need them a five
seven the LA Sports. How about Snoop Dogg. You know he's everywhere.
Do O double G was in the Milwaukee Brewers broadcast booth over the weekend during
the Brewers Cincinnati Reds game. You know Snoop is very good vibes with Brewers
shortstop Christian Yelich, you know, grew up in La and Snoop was ruining
for Yellich when the Reds brilliant shortstop Elie de la Cruz made a play,
here's Snoop on the core. This Ducedo Stroop offer was Bob Prople's all for
let's go twenty two? What you see me? When he was a youngster
man show out? Now you're an adult? Now, how often do people
slide down? That slide over there? Right? He can't get there?
He betting not, I'll run you. He bett not out run you.
He betting out. You better not left the picture. I one you dog,
Come on now, that's who I'm talking about. Two for two?
Is you anybody but the picture? You can't outrun me? Dog not?
You make it tough love? Right? Hey, I know, I know.
I oh he gon't. He took that. Get up in there,
he took that. Give him that, give him that way to go eat,
go eat twenty two eating right now, he's showing up for his uncle.
Right now, I'm righting the few, all right, all right,
that's my nephew down there, Willie my Thomas. Wow, you just put
a snoop in the both this magic that was gone. Man, he put
him in the booth. You imagine they should have did that when they were
doing they did something similar. But they have him like an as a I
am if I could call it an alternative broadcast. But if they did him
in the booth on a broadcast, you know, doing his style, if
you wanted to watch you know, the kind of like they got the Manning
cast on Monday Night Football, if they had the Snoop cast. I mean,
how many people would tune into the snoop casts watching the game? Riddy?
I do know if you remember last Olympic cycle on Peacock that it was
him and Kevin Hart. That was more like a recap. It was like
a recap of like the big stuff of the day. But that was amazing.
That was great, amazing. How about Flow or Sunday Night Football?
Make them the third guy in the booth. I signed up for that.
Remember he was doing the Kings a few years ago. Be one of those
where they couldn't it have to be on a on a on a how you
say, where they didn't have to bleep it Fred, you didn't have to
bleep the words you'd have to bleep Snoop. It could go free flow.
Like the Olympic thing that they did was amazing because it was was it Peacock?
Yeah, that was only on Peacock. Yeah, yeah, only on
Peacock. And they were going, I mean they you know, they let
loose and so but if if if you do him on, put him in
the booth with somebody else, they're gonna have to beep seven seconds away.
Rodney, Yeah, I know, I know, but but the beauty is
is letting them be Yeah that and sorry that brought that ball, you know
that son of a Sorry, you know you want to hear all that.
Although you can't have Snoopy on the broadcast for a Steeler game because then he
will you you have to the whole broadcast be bleeped out rants the Steelers lose
a game. Oh yeah, he would go crazy. You've never seen it
broadcast. Part of the contract, that'll be part of the contract where he
could not do Steeler game, right. It will be thick with smoke that
booth, wouldn't it. Oh that's what depends on what city he's broadcasting and
they that day. It's just a tremendous tremendous commentary by Snoop. He's everywhere,
but one place he was not was with JJ Reddick and the Lakers on
Saturday with the Full Court Press the Full Effect interview. According to our Dan
Woiki, Reddick met with lots of lak of brass. So it wasn't just
you know Rob Polinka, you know Jeanie Buss. He must have met you
know, the whole Laker family, probably the rambuses, just to get all
the information. Wouldn't it be freaky though? If if Sam Cassal somehow got
the gig, if, of course, Celtics tonight they hated, Celtics could
hang the banner the eighteenth, which would be painful, But then then they
could talk to Sam Cassell. Robert and Sam would be free to to speak
as after, you know, being the assistant with the Celtics, Sam Cassell
would be available to speak. Yeah. And you know where that leagion is
to Vic, you know where that lead is to to the source for yes,
the High Cup for you on this Monday, June the seventeenth. It's
some kodo k o d o kodo you guys remember Codo, Yes, a
high crew master. Yeah, excellent resume thought he was a boxer, the
great boxer named Miguel Coto back in the day. Is that the same guy?
Oh? Really, okay, I think you're thinking of c O T
t O. Yes, Miguel Kotto. This is a k O d o.
Oh gotcha. Kodo goes something like this, Sir, a thicket of
bamboo swayed by the evening breezes and the moonlight trickling through be the bamboo bend.
Do not break the feeling youkdo. There is the work of Codo.
There, it is Codo. All right, Before we get out of here,
let's tell a quick message from Jacob. Accident or injury called Jacob and
MONI car Jacob. Actually, I was driving around town yesterday and I noticed
a new Jacob billboard. Have you seen it yet? His picture and simply
says the real deal, And that's what Jacob is. If you're injured in
an accident, you need an attorney. You want an attorney who was respected,
that's Jacob. You want an attorney who has been helping southern California since
dal Harris was Lakers coach, that's Jacob. You want an attorney who doesn't
just put his name on the advertising. You want one who is involved every
day and helps you get the settlement you deserve. That's Jacob. And if
you need an attorney, you want an attorney that the insurance companies fear.
Trust us. The insurance companies know Jacob is the real deal. That's right.
So if you've been injured in any type of accident, don't accept that
first settlement offer from the insurance company called Jacob. He's the real deal.
