1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And now your voice for Dodger talking like that, David Basse.

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:11.640
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers defeat

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skeens and the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight by a final

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>score of four to one. Welcome the Dodger Talk. David

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Vasse with you until the top of the hour. We

6
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>have phone lines open at eight six six nine, eight seven,

7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. We will hear from River Ryan, we

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 2>will hear from Dave Roberts, and also we will hear

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>from the former owner of the Dodgers, the great Peter O'Malley,

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>whose father Walter was honored before tonight's game and forever

11
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 2>enshrine down the left field line in the Ring of

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>honor with all those other greats than Dodger history. And

13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't for Walter O'Malley, there would be no

14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>La Dodgers, and there certainly would never be a Dodger

15
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>stadium like this. So deservedly so, Walter O'Malley forever honored

16
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 2>here at Dodgers Stadium, the house he built back in

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>nineteen sixty two, after the Dodgers moved here in nineteen

18
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight, and before we go any further with tonight's game,

19
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I just want to say what a great job the

20
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers did the last two nights with this alumni weekend,

21
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>and tomorrow is going to be great as well on

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Matt camp Day. Congratulations to Stan Casten, Lon Rosen and

23
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Steve Brenner and Carrie Osbourne who really executed a great

24
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>day today, a great night yesterday, and I'm sure another

25
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>great day tomorrow with Matt camp Day.

26
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 3>This is what the Dodgers are about. It the players.

27
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>It's the people that came before all these guys and

28
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 2>the current players need to really understand that and pay

29
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>it forward. One day, Clayton Kershaw is going to be

30
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>sitting in the stands where Sandy Cofax is sitting, and

31
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>it's just really special. It was surreal for me growing

32
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>up a Dodger fan in the San Fernando Valley. You know,

33
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I was born in nineteen seventy six, so I was

34
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>starting to come of age around eighty two to eighty

35
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>three to be start to understand what my dad was watching,

36
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>what my uncles and my dad were watching and listening to.

37
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 2>And Dusty Baker was the player that captured my imagination

38
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>and today, you know, being on the field when all

39
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>these great Dodger legends were coming out there for the ceremony.

40
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a pinch me moment to see

41
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>the legendary infield of Garvey Lopes, Russell and say, unfortunately

42
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Davy Lopes couldn't be here, But to see the other

43
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>guys and to have a certain level of relationship with

44
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>all of them, it's pretty special.

45
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 3>And to see Steve Yeager, who was.

46
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>The catcher for all those great teams, awesome to see him. Obviously,

47
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>we see Oral Herscheiser here every night. We never take

48
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>that for granted. Monday was a big part of those

49
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>teams in the late seventies and early eighties. And it

50
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>was special to see Hideo Nomo back at Dodger Stadium

51
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>wearing his Dodgers number sixteen. Everybody was excited to see that.

52
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>You heard Andre Ethier in the broadcast boot during the game,

53
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>he was so excited showing a picture of him and

54
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Nomo before the game to everybody in the press box.

55
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>Just a lot of great players in their own right

56
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>that certainly have built this organization to where it's at

57
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>right now, and it was really a pinch me moment.

58
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>To see all these guys, and man Nicki Hatcher even

59
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>gave me kind of a stunt man pumped me up

60
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>type of thing going on when I saw him on

61
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>the field.

62
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 3>So really special.

63
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Love all those guys, and it was great to have

64
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Kurt Gibson out here in Los Angeles as well. So

65
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 2>all of that makes the Dodgers who they are and

66
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>this organization as special as it is. So once again,

67
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 2>congratulations to everybody in the organization that had this vision

68
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and to all that executed it. And it was I

69
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>know all the former players that were out here really

70
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>felt special and appreciated with the way the Dodgers have

71
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 2>treated them.

72
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 3>So a great start to the game.

73
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>And then the current Dodgers did a great job of

74
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>getting to Paul Skeens, who had never given up these

75
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>many runs in a start before tonight, and the Dodgers

76
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>scored four runs off of Skeens. Gavin Lux, the cleanup

77
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>hitter for the first time in his career, delivers and

78
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe the Dodgers realize that, you know what,

79
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>this guy lucks. He's pretty hot and he's even better

80
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>all season long with runners in scoring position, and he

81
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>delivered in the first inning with an RBI double and

82
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 2>then with two outs in the third inning and two

83
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>to on, Gavin Lux delivered just the base hit that

84
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 2>scored two runs, and that is really, uh what the

85
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers needed, especially with the way River Ryan was pitching. Unfortunately,

86
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 2>River had to leave this game with the right forearm

87
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>injury with two outs in the fifth inning. And the

88
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>reason why I speculated initially that it was a blister

89
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 2>issue was because going into his last start in Oakland, Uh,

90
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan showed me his right index finger. He had

91
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>a bandage over it two days before start in Oakland

92
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and was managing a blister. So that's the reason why

93
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 2>initially I thought it may have been the blister, but

94
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately a much more serious injury where River Ryan's going

95
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>to have an MRI tomorrow to examine his right arm.

96
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>A moment ago, River Ryan spoke to the media on

97
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Sports at LA.

98
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 4>Did you feel it started inning? Started feeling a little

99
00:05:53.319 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 4>bit of tightness in my form, got the uh.

100
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 5>Called right now.

101
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 4>There again running through my arm a little bit, went

102
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 4>back out there for the fifth last two pitches really

103
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 4>started tightening up on me a little bit, so I

104
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 4>begged doctor let me keep going.

105
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 5>But he pulled the plug on it, So.

106
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean not really no, Like I said, it just

107
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 4>really started tightening up on me a little bit.

108
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 5>And then doctor was concerned.

109
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 4>Training was concerned. I thought it was a hard time to.

110
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 6>Pull it, so concerned.

111
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 7>Are you going forward now?

112
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 8>Not very?

113
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean I feel pretty solid right now and random

114
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 4>through some tests strong. I'm gonna go to the doctor

115
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 4>inmorrow morning.

116
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 5>See what happens.

117
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 4>Did you when you started feeling it, did you tell

118
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 4>like the training stat at the moment or is it

119
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 4>something that you felt like you getting pitched through? Okay,

120
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 4>I definitely didn't want to come out of the game.

121
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to finish, but they saw me grimace a

122
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 4>little bit on the mountain and they're not gonna take

123
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 4>any chances, so they decided to end it there.

124
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 6>But disappointing is this considering how willy you're pitching.

125
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 5>Not just tonight with that you got here.

126
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just as part of the game, man, happens.

127
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the pitchclock definitely makes you speed up a lot,

128
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 4>which back in the day you didn't have to speed

129
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>up as much when you threw. So throwing back to

130
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 4>back pitches and then fifteen seconds.

131
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 8>It starts to take a toll, but.

132
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I guess that we're gonna go throw to the doctor

133
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 4>Marmore and see how there that fans out.

134
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's River Ryan on sports in at LA

135
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and maybe the first pitcher in a long time I've

136
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 2>heard reference the pitch clock to an arm injury. So look,

137
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>there's something to be said about the pitch clock and

138
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 2>the number the time that you have between pitches to

139
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 2>gather yourself, especially.

140
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 3>As you get later in the game.

141
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe fatigue is setting in and when you have to

142
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>throw the ball within fifteen seconds, obviously, maybe you're starting

143
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 2>to compensate with your arm and not using your lower half.

144
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 2>So I know, talking to Oral Herscheizer during a rain

145
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.399
<v Speaker 2>delay in Chicago, he said, maybe that's part of it,

146
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>where guys get fatigued with the pitch clock later in

147
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 2>their starts, but also in between starts. These guys are

148
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 2>not just doing a light bullpen session. They're trying to

149
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>throw their max pitch, is what Oral speculated about, and

150
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 2>really talking to guys, they validated what Oral Herscheizer said.

151
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>A lot of these younger pitchers are looking at the iPad,

152
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>looking at their best stuff, trying to make their best

153
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>pitch in a bullpen session. That's not what they are

154
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>meant for. So hopefully things work out for River Ryan.

155
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately he had to leave with two outs in the

156
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 2>fourth inning. He does not get a decision, but Michael

157
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Kopek does. Michael Kopek, who the Dodgers acquired from the

158
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 2>White Sox in that three team trade that brought Cope

159
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 2>and tom Y edmund t l A. Copeck now has

160
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 2>not allowed to run in five appearances, and tonight was

161
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>his first outing where he went one plus one in

162
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>a third scoreless innings for Michael Kopek to pick up

163
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 2>his first win as a Dodger. Eight six six seven

164
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Got to go

165
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 2>out to my guy Sergio in American Canyon. He is

166
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>a cable car guy in San Francisco. Sergio, I'm glad

<v Speaker 2>You know, I mean people, did you think I was

<v Speaker 2>stuck up when you listened to the show.

184
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 3>Did you think I was a top one percenter?

185
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 9>Nah? No, never thought that. But you know, you never

186
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 9>know how people could come up when you meet them

187
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 9>in real life. That's what I say.

188
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I appreciate it, Sergio, and I really appreciate you

189
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 2>listening up there in Giants Country. Do you wear your

190
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodger hat? When do you drive the cable car all

191
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the time?

192
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 9>And I got different kinds. I got the green nineteen

193
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 9>thirty seven Brooklyn Dodgers hat. I got many of them,

194
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 9>so I'm always wearing them all the time, and all

195
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 9>my coworkers are always giving me crap, but hey, come on,

196
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 9>they know who runs San Francisco. It's a Dodgers baby.

<v Speaker 2>Sergio, thanks a lot for calling in, and uh, if

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you're up in San Francisco, look out for Sergio wearing

200
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>that Dodger hat on the cable car. Thanks a lot

201
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 2>for calling in and it was great meeting you.

204
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 9>I'll call you again and we'll try.

205
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>To set that up, all right, Love it appreciated, Sergio'll

206
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 2>be safe out there. Eight six six nine eighty seven

207
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the

208
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Pirates four to one and keep the Diamondbacks and Padres

209
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>at arms distance length.

210
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Because they both won tonight. That's right.

211
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 2>The Padres now have won seven in a row. They're

212
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 2>just two and a half games back of the Dodgers,

213
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>while the Diamondbacks won again. They've won eight of their

214
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>last ten. They are three and a half games behind

215
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, so they.

216
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Are not going anywhere.

217
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>I love the urgency the Dodgers have shown in the

218
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 2>last two games, including tonight against the Pirates, and they've

219
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>got to continue to show that urgency because their record

220
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 2>since June twenty first I saw coming into tonight's game

221
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>was fifteen and eighteen. That's right there with the Rockies

222
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>since that period of time. And things are starting to

223
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 2>turn in the Dodgers direction because they are starting to

224
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 2>get some of their players healthy and they're looking to

225
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 2>sweep the Pirates with their Ace on the Mound tomorrow

226
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 2>the former Pirate Tyler Glass now, so that would be

227
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 2>a good way to end this homestand after a disappointing

228
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 2>series against the Phillies, and the Dodgers' schedule does not

229
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>get any easier because they will be playing the Brewers

230
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and the Saint Louis Cardinals on this trip. And I

231
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 2>know we focus on Mookie Bets coming back. The Dodgers

232
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 2>already got Freddie Freeman back, but they need starting pitching

233
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and certainly that's what's going to carry the Dodgers from

234
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>here to the finish line. And that's what's really going

235
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to be something to watch going forward in the last

236
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 2>forty five games of the year. How deep can Dodgers

237
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>starters get into a game? Because this Rodger bullpen has

238
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>been used quite a bit. Eight six six, two five

239
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Santa Monica.

240
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I was out in Santa Monica on Thursday night. Diane,

241
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

242
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 7>How you doing Diane, good, good, thanks, How are you doing? Yeah?

243
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I saw you at the bungalow on Thursday night.

244
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 7>Going I'm going tomorrow, okay, and yeah, just not. I'll

245
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 7>be excited to see Matt camp for sure.

246
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.200
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

247
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.159
<v Speaker 3>And are you gonna wear your twenty seven jersey tomorrow?

248
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 7>Diane, Yes, I yes, I will, yes, I will.

249
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

250
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 7>I know it's gonna be warm, so taking water and sunscreen.

251
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 7>But I just remember back in the back in the day.

252
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if you're with them, but when uh,

253
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 7>the Cardinals were facing us and we and the second

254
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.120
<v Speaker 7>game when James Long hit the ball and Matt Holiday

255
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.080
<v Speaker 7>dropped it and we scored all the.

256
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 3>He lost it in the towels.

257
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 7>And then anime right matteels for dropping it.

258
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, that was great.

259
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>And then the Dodgers went on to shock the world

260
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 2>and get to the NLCS.

261
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I remember those days, good times.

262
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to go all the way back to

263
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the seventies to have some fond memories of Dodger baseball.

264
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 2>And hard to believe Matt Kemp is retired because we

265
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>all remember him when he just got called up, and

266
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>we all remember the great seasons he had with the Dodgers,

267
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and it was really cool that Matt was able to

268
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 2>come back in twenty eighteen and prove a lot of

269
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>doubters wrong, making the All Star.

270
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Team in twenty eighteen and going.

271
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 2>To the World Series with the Dodgers against the Boston

272
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox.

273
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.559
<v Speaker 3>Let's go out to.

274
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 2>James in North Hollywood. Hi, James, you're on Dodger Talk.

275
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 10>Hey, David, I gotta tell you, I'm excited about the

276
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 10>NL West getting tight, and the reason is because iron

277
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.440
<v Speaker 10>sharpened iron. And you have said before that you're a

278
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.799
<v Speaker 10>big proponent of this team needs more edge. Well, if

279
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 10>we get enough iron sharpening us, we're gonna be darn

280
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.039
<v Speaker 10>right edgy come the postseason. So I absolutely love the

281
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 10>fact that the race is getting tight. I also love

282
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 10>the swings tonight from the bottom of the lineup, watching.

283
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 6>Nick got Meg come in there and do his thing,

284
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 6>Kevin Kiermyer do his thing. I just love watching Tay

285
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.120
<v Speaker 6>Oscar go opposite field. You know, he's not a huge man,

286
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 6>but boy does he have great power to all fields.

287
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 6>And isn't it great to see Gavin Lux go to

288
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.799
<v Speaker 6>all fields? So I look at that, but I'm absolutely

289
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.320
<v Speaker 6>thrilled that the way the team is trending. And the

290
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 6>last thing I wanted to say is Mookie BET's going

291
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.039
<v Speaker 6>to write I asked you about this the last time

292
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 6>I called in. I was surprised to hear you say

293
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.720
<v Speaker 6>that you thought it maybe wouldn't happen to closer to

294
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 6>the postseason, because with the way Lux is hitting since

295
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 6>the all start breaking, the way Mickey Rose hit all season,

296
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 6>and with the way our other outfielders not named Tey

297
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.720
<v Speaker 6>Oscar Hernandez have hit, to me, it just seems like

298
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 6>the best lineup was clearly with Lux holding down second

299
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 6>and Mike you Row when he came back from injury

300
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 6>holding down short.

301
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, that was the best alignment, and Mookie

302
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Betts read the room. He understood that was the best

303
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.399
<v Speaker 2>spot for him, and I'm glad that he was the

304
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 2>one to initiate that. Hey, you know what, the team

305
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is better with me in right field. So kudos to

306
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts, who's a great guy and a superstar that

307
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>is doing things that no other superstar would be as

308
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:42.000
<v Speaker 2>flexible to do. Eight six six nine seven two five

309
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. We're going to take a

310
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 2>time out here on Dodger Talk. When we come back,

311
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll give you an update on Max Muncie and Tommy

312
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Edmond's first rehab game, and also let you know when

313
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Walker Buehler is going to start for the Dodgers. Plus

314
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.080
<v Speaker 2>we will hear from Peter O'Malley, the legendary owner of

315

316
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>the Ring of honor. The Dodgers beat Paul Skeens in

317
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.279

<v Speaker 2>Ti Oscar Hernandez driven high and data right center.

324
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.799
<v Speaker 3>Way back in time.

325
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Tioscar Hernandez with home run number twenty six and the

326
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers waited for nothing. Ti Oscar Hernandez with another three

327
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>hit game tonight, his eighth of the season. Ti Oscar

328
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez hit one a mile in the fifth inning off

329
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 2>of Paul Skeens to give the Dodgers a four nothing

330
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>lead against the rookie sensation. They would go on to

331
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 2>beat Pittsburgh tonight four to one in hand Skemes just

332
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 2>his second loss of the season. Daniels Jewelers is the

337
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>The only disappointing part about tonight was that River Ryan

338
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 2>left the game tonight with a right forearm injury. He

339
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>is going to have an MRI tomorrow and the Dodgers

340
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 2>are placing him on the injured list, and we'll recall

341
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Landon Knack, who will be available for the Dodgers out

342
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.039
<v Speaker 2>of the bullpen tomorrow afternoon as they look to sweep

343
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>the Pittsburgh Pirates out of La Pittsburgh now all of

344
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a sudden fifty six and sixty.

345
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 3>On the season.

346
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.119
<v Speaker 2>They have lost five or six in a row and

347
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 2>our five games back out of the final wildcard spot

348
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in the National League. In case you missed it earlier,

349
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.279
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks and Padres both won tonight, so the Dodgers

350
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>remained two and a half ahead of San Diego, three

351
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 2>and a half ahead of Arizona. We were talking about

352
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>the cavalry arriving soon. Max Munsey and Tommy Edmund played

353
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 2>their first rehab games at Oklahoma City tonight. Munsey was

354
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 2>one for two with a walk and a double. Tommy

355
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Edmund was one for three, starting in center field. Also,

356
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Walker Buehler will make his return to the Dodger rotation

357
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>next week in Milwaukee. Dave Roberts said before the game

358
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 2>today that Walker Bueller will start Wednesday against the Brewers.

359
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 2>That's a four game series at Miller Park. All right,

360
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>want to share a very special conversation we had tonight

361
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 2>with Peter O'Malley. The O'Malley family is synonymous with the

362
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodger family and certainly great to have Peter here and

363
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>his sister Terry Sidler. And this was a very candid

364
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 2>and intimate conversation I was able to have with the

365
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:19.160
<v Speaker 2>great Peter O'Malley after the special pregame ceremony which honored

366
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>his father, Walter O'Malley. And in case you don't know

367
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the backstory, Walter O'Malley passed away in nineteen seventy nine,

368
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:32.599
<v Speaker 2>but Peter O'Malley became the president of the Dodgers in

369
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.200
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy one, so the transition was in place. And

370
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>as a young man, Peter O'Malley started from the very

371
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.759
<v Speaker 2>bottom and worked his way throughout the organization to really

372
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 2>know the ins and outs. And here's what mister O'Malley

373
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.519
<v Speaker 2>had to say about that and many other things surrounding

374
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.440
<v Speaker 2>the O'Malley family, Walter O'Malley and the Dodgers.

375
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 11>And that's the key word that if you're responsible for

376
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 11>your family, family, or for driving a car with the

377
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.920
<v Speaker 11>kids in the car, responsibility And that always kind of

378
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 11>stuck in my mind that if you realize, hey, Peter,

379
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 11>you're responsible for this franchise. You're going to get up early,

380
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 11>you're going to work late, You're going to come in

381
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:19.599
<v Speaker 11>here Saturdays and Sundays in the wintertime. So nobody ever

382
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 11>asked me for advice, but that's kind of on my mind.

383
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.039
<v Speaker 8>Do you realize how much the O'Malley family meant, not

384
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 8>only to your players, to the staff and the organization,

385
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 8>but to the city.

386
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 5>I think I do.

387
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.400
<v Speaker 11>I think I'm talking to today the luncheon, were you

388
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.119
<v Speaker 11>with the luncheon today. Okay, well I had a chance

389
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 11>to visit with all them who I knew on my watch.

390
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.599
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know the fellows that came after, but.

391
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 11>They truly appreciated it was a special time. It's going

392
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 11>to get greater. The stadium is greater, the teams are

393
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.319
<v Speaker 11>going to be greater, the players are going to be greater.

394
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 5>But when we had it.

395
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:02.079
<v Speaker 11>It was a special, unique time everyone looks back at

396
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 11>with Even living in the barracks at Dodgertown Old Navy Barracks,

397
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 11>everybody complained no heat, no air conditioning, no telephones, the

398
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 11>fuse would go, nobody had electricity. But the next morning

399
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 11>everybody laughed and said, I survived the night or mosquitoes,

400
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:18.039
<v Speaker 11>but you know.

401
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 5>When it gets hot. No, the reviews of that fifty

402
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.599
<v Speaker 5>years are pretty good.

403
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.079
<v Speaker 8>What was Walter O'Malley the father?

404
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 6>Like?

405
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.279
<v Speaker 3>He was great?

406
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.000
<v Speaker 11>You know, he fished together, we hunted together. He was honest.

407
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 11>He uh we disagreed, maybe a couple of times on

408
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 11>something minor. He would hear me out, Okay, well why

409
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:41.680
<v Speaker 11>do you want to do that? I would tell him,

410
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.480
<v Speaker 11>and he might say, yeah, I think you're right, or well,

411
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 11>think about this it. It was a frank relationship.

412
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.880
<v Speaker 8>It seems like you not only took the torch, but

413
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:52.920
<v Speaker 8>you ran with it.

414
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 5>Well.

415
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 11>Yes, I thought about going to law school when I

416
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.160
<v Speaker 11>was an undergraduate at Penn, and then I thought, Hey,

417
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 11>I'd like to run a farm team, and the fella

418
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 11>in Spokane. Spencer Harris, the GM, he passed away in

419
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 11>the winter suddenly and there's an opening general manager of Spokane, Washington,

420
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 11>and my dad and Buzzy said, would you want to

421
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 11>do that? And I said sure, So I go to Spokane.

422
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.279
<v Speaker 11>That was great experience, running the tripa a farm team

423
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 11>in the Coast League. So and then came here vice

424
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:37.000
<v Speaker 11>president stadium operations, dealing with the maintenance, the unions, that

425
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 11>ticket takers and everybody else. So the pattern, if you

426
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.759
<v Speaker 11>look back at the path, it wasn't by design. It

427
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:50.480
<v Speaker 11>just happened to follow the different areas of responsibility, and

428
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 11>so it worked out.

429
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 8>Mister O'Malley, the history lesson we've gotten is of course

430
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 8>from the great Vin Scully about not only the Dodgers,

431
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.480
<v Speaker 8>but your father. And I remember interviewing Vin for the

432
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 8>first time and he said his two wishes before he left.

433
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.279
<v Speaker 8>In his words, this mortal coil was that Gil Hodges

434
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 8>and your father, Walter O'Malley would get into the Hall

435
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.039
<v Speaker 8>of Fame.

436
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:15.119
<v Speaker 5>That's very true.

437
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 11>Well let's take Vinnie first. He really wanted Gil in

438
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.880
<v Speaker 11>the Hall of Fame and Gil Vinnie wanted Gil to

439
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 11>get in the Hall of Fame.

440
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 5>And I think Vinny helped.

441
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.799
<v Speaker 11>And if you look back at Gil's record when he played,

442
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 11>his numbers were up there. But then after he retired,

443
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 11>new numbers, new circumstances. But Gil's numbers, in my opinion,

444
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.000
<v Speaker 11>should have put him in the Hall of Fame quicker

445
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 11>before other numbers got not inflated, they were earned for

446
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 11>different reasons. As far as my dad goes, I think

447
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 11>Vinnie lived to see my dad go in the Hall

448
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:57.680
<v Speaker 11>of Fame.

449
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah he did. Yeah, he was alive then. Yeah. Yeah.

450
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 8>He told me that he appreciated when the team was

451
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 8>moving to Los Angeles that your father did not have

452
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 8>a secretary call him. He called Vin Scully directly.

453
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:16.000
<v Speaker 11>Sure, a fifty six trip to Japan, everybody's got a roommate,

454
00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 11>every ballplayer, doctors, trainers, everybody on the trip. That's the

455
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:22.480
<v Speaker 11>way it was in those days, to to a room.

456
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.720
<v Speaker 11>So my dad says that Peter's going to go with us.

457
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 5>To the fifty sixth trip to Tokyo? Could he room

458
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:29.880
<v Speaker 5>with you?

459
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 11>Now? Ever, gracious Vinnie would never say no, even if

460
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.960
<v Speaker 11>he felt like he.

461
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.599
<v Speaker 5>Said, are you kidding, mister Omanalley?

462
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Of course.

463
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:39.079
<v Speaker 5>Now that's where.

464
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 11>Vinnie and I bonded on that fifty six He wasn't

465
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 11>in the room a lot.

466
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:43.880
<v Speaker 5>He used in two beds in the room.

467
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 11>He was out doing his thing. He was a single guy.

468
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 11>He wanted museums and places of art and drama and

469
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 11>all that. But yeah, fifty six that's a long time.

470
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.079
<v Speaker 11>That's someone He and I really connected.

471
00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:59.400
<v Speaker 8>That's amazing.

472
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 5>Vinny telling that to.

473
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 11>My dad, imagine my dad's saying it to Vinnie and

474
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.680
<v Speaker 11>then he said, yeah, of course, mister O'Malley, no problem,

475
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 11>Just like what else is new?

476
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 8>So you mentioned that your dad was somewhat of a

477
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:13.039
<v Speaker 8>father figure to Vinnie, So were you Did you have

478
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 8>a brother type of relationship with him? Especially after that trip, I.

479
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 11>Would say, yeah, brother, Vinnie was ten years older, but yeah,

480
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.880
<v Speaker 11>brother works, brother works, a good friend works, honest relationship.

481
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.480
<v Speaker 11>Vinnie I talked about things that he may not have

482
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.720
<v Speaker 11>talked to too many people about honest because he knew

483
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 11>me and I think we trusted each other.

484
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 5>He told me something and I'm never going to repeat it.

485
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.839
<v Speaker 8>I could sit here all day with you. You just

486
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 8>mean so much to the city and to Dodger fans.

487
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:50.079
<v Speaker 8>The O'Malley family is synonymous with Dodger baseball, and family

488
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 8>is synonymous with the O'Malley. So thank you so much

489
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.039
<v Speaker 8>for your time, and rightfully so, your father and the

490
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 8>O'Malley family will always be remembered here.

491
00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

492
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:01.920
<v Speaker 11>Just one quick note, my sister and I were blessed

493
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 11>with great parents. I don't say that too often because

494
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 11>not everyone is fortunate to have that experience. You know,

495
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:12.000
<v Speaker 11>a lot of families are split, divided and everything else.

496
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 11>But my sister, Terry and I grew up in a

497
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 11>perfect mother, father for people, home support, fun. It was remarkable.

498
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.119
<v Speaker 11>So I would give my sister Terry and I talk

499
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:29.039
<v Speaker 11>about it a lot. I'd give that a lot of credit.

500
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.400
<v Speaker 5>And I'm lucky. That's a blessing. Not everybody else can

501
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:33.799
<v Speaker 5>say that.

502
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 8>Sadly, thank you for your time.

503
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 5>All right, good to be with you.

504
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks to Steve Brenner of the Dodgers for connecting us

505
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 2>with the great Peter O'Malley. Obviously I have a lot

506
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 2>of reverence for him because the O'Malley family was so

507
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:53.319
<v Speaker 2>special with this Dodger organization. And now forever, Walter O'Malley

508
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.440
<v Speaker 2>will be enshrined here down the left field line with

509
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 2>all the retired numbers. So awesome here at Dodger Stadium.

510
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:05.039
<v Speaker 2>And thank you so much to Peter O'Malley for allowing

511
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.599
<v Speaker 2>us to catch up with him after tonight's ceremony. A

512
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 2>real big honor for me to be able to interview

513
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.880
<v Speaker 2>him and share him with you because he has never

514
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>been on the show with us in recent memories. So
