Speaker 1: As we continue on bred Rogan Jason Smith on a
Speaker 1: five to seventy la sports, a day to lament, a
Speaker 1: date to bitch, a day to get it off your chest,
Speaker 1: but perhaps a day for optimism, for positivity, perhaps a
Speaker 1: day to say that was yesterday and it means absolutely nothing,
Speaker 1: despite the fact it felt like you were just kicked
Speaker 1: directly between the legs. That's like the fourth time you've
Speaker 1: made that reference. Well, because that's how much pain I'm in.
Speaker 2: Did that actually happen to you in the last twenty
Speaker 2: four hours? Did that happen?
Speaker 1: I actually thought about punching myself there. Okay, that's how
Speaker 1: much pain I was in.
Speaker 2: I don't know if like, coming to work today someone
Speaker 2: said it's your fault, Rogan, and wham, and then you
Speaker 2: had to like kind of limp into the studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time that happened, by
Speaker 1: the way, Oh okay, all right, all right? Shouldave Roberts abundant?
Speaker 1: What would you have done? How do you feel? This
Speaker 1: is your moment to vent eight six six nine eight
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy calling from the Naval base. Garrett
Speaker 1: is on the line, and Garrett, thanks for holding good afternoon.
Speaker 3: Hey Fred, Hey Jason. Yeah. I mean, look, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: preface this with I'm a Raider fan, so I know
Speaker 3: what it's like to like a bad team and have
Speaker 3: no hope. So I'm not sitting here and saying every
Speaker 3: year we win the division and if not anything like.
Speaker 3: I love the fact that I can watch a game
Speaker 3: every night and it's competitive at worst. But the fans
Speaker 3: got to kind of think about it the way I do.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: This team every season has a draw to bring you
Speaker 3: to every single game in the stadium, But I do
Speaker 3: not think that it's built to win and sustainably in
Speaker 3: the postseason because the teams that we're going to face
Speaker 3: that are the biggest challenge, the Phillies and the Padres
Speaker 3: this season have looked like a different We are like
Speaker 3: the lightweight boxer in there with Tyson and his prime
Speaker 3: and we sit on the stool in the third and
Speaker 3: we just go, you know what, I got paid and
Speaker 3: they're happy with it, And I think we need to
Speaker 3: reset our expectations going forward with that in mind.
Speaker 1: Quite a minute, Garrett, quite a minute, you're saying that
Speaker 1: because one of the most unexpected things that could ever
Speaker 1: occur a triple play to end the game occurs. You're
Speaker 1: saying that the Dodgers are done and we're never good
Speaker 1: from the beginning.
Speaker 3: You know, you could extrapolate what I said to say that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Actually, but what I'm trying to say is the teams
Speaker 3: that we're going to face that everyone is routinely saying
Speaker 3: will beat us in a series we're not competitive with.
Speaker 3: Like look up the Phillies series when they came here
Speaker 3: and it was embedded.
Speaker 2: Apparently that's it. He was done. He extrapolated, he extrapolated,
Speaker 2: he extrapolated, and then he was done. He was done
Speaker 2: talking to you, Fred. That was his extrapolation. He was done,
Speaker 2: he extrapolated, he was done. Now he made You know,
Speaker 2: I get the point, because you get you get to
Speaker 2: the Hey, I've seen this movie before. I've seen this
Speaker 2: horror movie before, and the Dodgers don't get out alive, right,
Speaker 2: I've seen this. I've seen what happens. They run into
Speaker 2: the room at the chainsaws in it, and I see
Speaker 2: how this ends. I get that. But what makes this
Speaker 2: year a little bit different than the rest is that
Speaker 2: this year jobs are at stake, jobs are on the line.
Speaker 2: This year for the Dodgers, This is not a we've
Speaker 2: built a team and we're gonna go to Like Dave Roberts,
Speaker 2: a lot of jobs are on the line. They didn't
Speaker 2: spend three hundred million dollars in Yamamoto, five hundred million
Speaker 2: on Otani, even though it's deferred one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: million on Tyler Glassno, they didn't spend this money to
Speaker 2: lose in the first round of the wildcard round of
Speaker 2: the Mets. Okay, so they didn't. They didn't do this.
Speaker 2: So what makes this year different is ay, whether it's
Speaker 2: whether it's Roberts front office jobs are on the line,
Speaker 2: and if they can't get it, if they can't get
Speaker 2: a good run this year in the playoffs, like that's
Speaker 2: gonna be it. Like it's gonna be a you're gonna
Speaker 2: look at this team and go, wow, there's some changes
Speaker 2: next year to where are right now. We are some
Speaker 2: big changes where we are right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what changes can they really make?
Speaker 2: What changes? Well, you'd see you'll see a new manager.
Speaker 2: I think I don't think so Dave Roberts. I think
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts job would be on the line.
Speaker 1: Yes, given the pitching situation, I don't think that's the case, I.
Speaker 2: Don't think it matters when when you put so much
Speaker 2: into this and if it fails, like really, if you
Speaker 2: put so much into this season and it fails, like,
Speaker 2: where else are you gonna go?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying this is all Dave Roberts fault,
Speaker 2: but just just you take a step back. When do
Speaker 2: teams replace the manager when they're looking for a spark
Speaker 2: and they're looking for something right, Usually teams teams fire
Speaker 2: a manager. Hey, we got the White Sox coming up.
Speaker 2: Let's fire the manager now because we're gonna win those
Speaker 2: three games and we're gonna get everybody's attention. Sometimes you
Speaker 2: just need to change the energy and you need to
Speaker 2: change the feel of a team, and and that's the
Speaker 2: That's always been the way to do it. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying it's always right, but what else are you going
Speaker 2: to do. You're spending a lot of money on these guys,
Speaker 2: and and how else do you get everybody's attention? That, Hey,
Speaker 2: this regular season's success and then falling short in the playoffs,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna cut it anymore.
Speaker 1: See, I just don't think that they make a move
Speaker 1: with him given what he's up against. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: if you want to argue he should have bund it,
Speaker 1: that's one thing. And you know, the year they won
Speaker 1: the World Series COVID, but still they want it. People
Speaker 1: call out and said fire Dave Roberts. So that always happens.
Speaker 1: But given the pitching situation, I don't know what you
Speaker 1: expect him to do as the manager. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that's not to do with this.
Speaker 2: I don't think that it mattered because I how do
Speaker 2: you say, Okay, we signed Otani this year, we signed
Speaker 2: young Moto, we signed glassnow, we got Hernandez. We made
Speaker 2: all these we made all these moves, and still we
Speaker 2: can't find three healthy starting pitchers to start the season.
Speaker 2: And we're gonna say, hey, we're gonna run it back
Speaker 2: next year. Like this is not Sean McVay yelling run
Speaker 2: it back after the Super Bowl. Yes, run it back.
Speaker 2: We just want it all. Like you can't say if
Speaker 2: this ends with an early first round loss, Like you
Speaker 2: can't just say, hey, run it back and things are
Speaker 2: gonna get better. Like like, how are you gonna do that?
Speaker 2: Like I said, jobs are on the line, Fred.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Riverside. Chris appreciate you holding.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Hey, how you doing? Yes, you should have
Speaker 5: bunnet again? Okay, and then I will go back. I'm
Speaker 5: not saying, hey, fire Dave Roberts. However, against Houston when
Speaker 5: they cheated, okay, he had no spine, no backbone. He
Speaker 5: didn't stick up for the team. Boston, we got punked. Okay,
Speaker 5: against when we won in the bubble, Tampa Bay Cash,
Speaker 5: he out coached himself. Okay, maybe Roberts should call a
Speaker 5: real manager like Bochie and ask him how he did
Speaker 5: it without with all the pitching injuries. Because I'm telling you,
Speaker 5: and I guarantee you, seeger Or Turner wouldn't have grounded
Speaker 5: into a triple play.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I hear what you're saying, seeger Or Turner,
Speaker 1: you don't know that. Quite frankly, you don't know if
Speaker 1: they would have grounded into a triple play because you
Speaker 1: certainly didn't expect Rojas to ground into a triple play,
Speaker 1: because quite honestly, you didn't expect anyone to ground into
Speaker 1: a triple play.
Speaker 2: Doesn't really happen that often, don't really see it. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you one thing. You want to talk about pitching,
Speaker 2: real pitching, real fests, everything going in you talked about, Yes,
Speaker 2: because I still remember Kevin Kash. Hey, let's take Blake
Speaker 2: Snell out of the game, even though he's absolutely dominating. Hey,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers won. He should get a big share of
Speaker 2: that twenty twenty championship because taking Blake Snell out of
Speaker 2: that game, that was just awesome. But as more time
Speaker 2: goes on, I will tell you this, and I know
Speaker 2: that it's been a big question. But with everything going on,
Speaker 2: jobs on the line, pitching situations, I know they've tried
Speaker 2: to tamp it down in the last few days. But
Speaker 2: there's one thing to tamp it down. When you're in
Speaker 2: the final week of the season in September and it
Speaker 2: looks like you're gonna clinch and the playoffs are still
Speaker 2: a week or so away, and you think everything is
Speaker 2: gonna go, and then it's quite another to be down
Speaker 2: one zip or two zip and go what do we
Speaker 2: do here? Show? Hey, can you open a game? Can
Speaker 2: you open a game? Can you throw thirty pitches? Because
Speaker 2: he's not a guy warming up in the bullpen when
Speaker 2: you see his bullpen sessions. We talked about this with
Speaker 2: Jean Paul Morosi on our show he's not a guy
Speaker 2: warming up like his next start is gonna be February
Speaker 2: in spring training. He's he's throwing that bullpen like, hey,
Speaker 2: I can I can come and pitch. I can come,
Speaker 2: I can come back and pitch. At some point, do
Speaker 2: you get to that can you can you open? Because
Speaker 2: that would suddenly change That changes the energy, that changes
Speaker 2: the focus, that changes the narrative. And it wouldn't be
Speaker 2: any more than that. Maybe it's maybe if it's just
Speaker 2: an if you're going with it open, or anyway, maybe
Speaker 2: it's just an inning or two, and you'd have to
Speaker 2: maneuver the batting order, obviously because Otani wouldn't be the DH,
Speaker 2: but still would that would I don't know how far
Speaker 2: we are away from that situation. Can you how many
Speaker 2: pitches can you throw? I can throw about twenty five pitches? Okay, great,
Speaker 2: twenty five pitches. You're coming out of the game, and
Speaker 2: you're gonna go as far as it can be, and
Speaker 2: that's gonna be our that's gonna be our big push.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the American League rule. If he pitches
Speaker 1: and is in the game as a hitter, when he
Speaker 1: no longer pitches, he stays in the game, but they lose.
Speaker 2: You would need to keep pinch hitting when the when
Speaker 2: the pitcher's spot comes up, So you would need to
Speaker 2: pinch hit when the when when the spot which So
Speaker 2: that's how it works. Yeah, you would change pitchers at
Speaker 2: that point and do it all right.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's go in San Pedro, Rick, Rick, thank you
Speaker 1: for holding go ahead.
Speaker 6: Hey, Frid you're in the best. You had a lot
Speaker 6: of value to the sports talk show. So I just
Speaker 6: want to give you a big shout out there. You're
Speaker 6: the best.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
Speaker 6: I was at the game last night.
Speaker 7: You got it, brother.
Speaker 6: I was at the game last night and I saw
Speaker 6: the whole play. Hats off to the Padres. I mean
Speaker 6: they didn't they didn't play the wheel, they didn't play
Speaker 6: a crash. They just play it up at the corners
Speaker 6: and hope for a double play. Rojas is not fast.
Speaker 6: The only play is the bunt. But after the game,
Speaker 6: when you say, oh, we took the bun off because
Speaker 6: we saw this and we saw that and that wasn't there,
Speaker 6: I mean, just be honest to say we took the
Speaker 6: bun off and we made a mistake.
Speaker 5: Move on.
Speaker 6: I don't want anyone fired, but it was just it
Speaker 6: was just not the way it happened.
Speaker 2: Here there you go.
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it, Rick, thank you. Well, there's always
Speaker 1: that approach. He was there, Jason, he said he saw
Speaker 1: it obviously. Uh. Dave robertson the staff saw differently from
Speaker 1: inside the dughout. But now let's let's let's ask this question,
Speaker 1: because when are we gonna see that happen again. I
Speaker 1: guy hits into a triple player.
Speaker 2: In the game. Maybe tonight, Maybe it happens tonight again.
Speaker 1: Right, but just given the experience and assuming that we're
Speaker 1: not gonna see that again, do you think he would
Speaker 1: bunt next time? Do you think in that situation and
Speaker 1: assuming that's not gonna happen again, he would bunt anyway?
Speaker 2: I hope not. I mean, there's a difference between, Hey,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have you try to steal second to stay
Speaker 2: out of the double play, and hey, we're gonna have
Speaker 2: you bunt to stay out of the triple play. I mean,
Speaker 2: I I bunting is such a it's such a dice
Speaker 2: roll now, like it's it's not look at all the
Speaker 2: all the managers now and guys who've been in the
Speaker 2: game forever, Hey, everybody was at when Dave Roberts played,
Speaker 2: everybody bunted. Most people could bunt. You didn't have your
Speaker 2: power hitters bunt. But it's become a lost art. It's
Speaker 2: not taught as much because you're giving it out to
Speaker 2: the other team. You just are the hitters are better,
Speaker 2: and and and why would you do that when when
Speaker 2: it's it's tough enough to get a guy around, you
Speaker 2: want to play for more than one run. You needed
Speaker 2: more than one run, So why are you giving a team?
Speaker 2: And out right, why you? Why you? Why are you
Speaker 2: shortening that inning. I've never been a big fan of bunting,
Speaker 2: and I don't know that you can just say, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know why you can't do it. You're a
Speaker 2: major league player. Not every major league player can bun
Speaker 2: Not everybody can do that. So I am. I am
Speaker 2: eminently okay. If he if he has shoes the bunt
Speaker 2: and says, you know what, I'll roll the dice. And
Speaker 2: if we hit it too a triple play, we hit
Speaker 2: it to a triple play, I'll quit. If we'd grounded
Speaker 2: to another triple play to lose a game, because I
Speaker 2: don't butt, would that make everybody happy? I will quit.
Speaker 2: If that's the case, you're saying you'll quit, I'm saying
Speaker 2: he'll quit, and you'll quit as well.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not quitting. No, I'm not quitting.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 2: I thought, God, you said that. You said if that
Speaker 2: happens again, I'll quit.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, well you miss that. I didn't specifically say
Speaker 1: that this ought to be really good. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Dwarte had the call of the day yesterday and he's
Speaker 1: back today. Spencer, Spencer, go.
Speaker 8: Ahead, Hey Fred, what's up? Swollen Dome?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 8: Uh, I just want to say I told you Nack
Speaker 8: was a nerd and he got blown up like I
Speaker 8: told you he was going to Today, we got the
Speaker 8: B plus player, Jack Clarity, who's everybody's number three anywhere
Speaker 8: else in the playoffs, is gonna get killed by Dylan
Speaker 8: Fief and our playoff hopes after today and we get
Speaker 8: two out of three taken by the Rockies will cease
Speaker 8: to exist. It is not Dave roberts fault, though. What
Speaker 8: happened to happen. The triple play is a triple play.
Speaker 6: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 8: There's there's It's not fair to say that that will fire.
Speaker 8: Dave Roberts triple play. But in my outro, I will
Speaker 8: say one of the previous callers said they weren't running
Speaker 8: the wheel. The wheels an play on a bunch of
Speaker 8: first base Manny Machado caught a piss rod and through
Speaker 8: a perfect ball the second and he lost. That's what happened.
Speaker 8: The Padres are better, They're gonna win the division. Dodgers
Speaker 8: sucks and we have no arms once again. So tell
Speaker 8: tell that's to day about stay two un tell if
Speaker 8: you have a corsletic Yankee doodles, all.
Speaker 1: Right, goodbye. There was Spencer and Dwarte.
Speaker 2: That got personal at the end. He had he had
Speaker 2: the he had the Michael Jordan iPad say, and I
Speaker 2: took that personally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no he worked with Dodgers, was yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it took a turn right there.
Speaker 2: Well, I knew when he could. When he said swollen dome,
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's Mike Carmen, That's that's that's my partner
Speaker 2: at night. So I was like, okay, let's see where
Speaker 2: this goes.
Speaker 1: All right, if you're on hold, stay right there. I
Speaker 1: will continue to let your vent and perhaps you can
Speaker 1: offer some insight we haven't considered on a day where
Speaker 1: dodg Your fans are pretty upset, and your calls are
Speaker 1: next their opportunity to let lose. Let's go, you know,
Speaker 1: venture spleen. You'll feel better. You'll just feel better after
Speaker 1: you do it. And that's why we're here. We live
Speaker 1: to give Jason.
Speaker 2: Everybody needs it. After people are still walking around in
Speaker 2: a fog after that game last night. I'm really this
Speaker 2: is now thirteen hours later, and I'm still saying I
Speaker 2: can't believe that happened. I can't. I still can't believe
Speaker 2: you ground into a triple play to end the game,
Speaker 2: to give the Padres a playoff berth and to make
Speaker 2: it and it's now the closest the race has been
Speaker 2: all season long, and the Padres are on the cusp
Speaker 2: of winning the series, which means they get the tiebreaker
Speaker 2: and somebody the Dodgers looking at a wild card like
Speaker 2: all this has had everything changed with that one ground ball.
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, I'm still watching the game.
Speaker 2: Otani is still standing on deck Fred, he is still there.
Speaker 2: He has taken off the weighted bat, at least because
Speaker 2: I think probably swinging the weighted bat for thirteen hours
Speaker 2: a long time. So he's just swinging the one bat.
Speaker 1: Now, well that's good. Yeah, now he's ready. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to Long Beach. Chuck, you're still holding it.
Speaker 1: If you are go.
Speaker 9: Ahead, you're saying, Fred, thanks a lot for taking my call.
Speaker 9: And you speaking about venting.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 9: First of all, it should have bunch. It should have
Speaker 9: kept on going regardless even if he would have struck out,
Speaker 9: it would have been good. But the second of all,
Speaker 9: Mookie Betts. When O'tannie hit that double, Mookie Betts, he
Speaker 9: ended up getting tagged out. Man.
Speaker 3: You know, man, you gotta be focused.
Speaker 9: We kind of have a sense of urgency.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 9: If you look around the whole infield at all, Man,
Speaker 9: if you look at Gavin Lunk, he looked like he
Speaker 9: don't even want to be there.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 9: He wouldther be on the bench and someone cheering him on.
Speaker 5: Man, you know.
Speaker 7: And Mookie Betts messed up.
Speaker 5: Too with that right field when the guy hit.
Speaker 9: The ball to right field that was truly a single.
Speaker 9: The finnerfielder had to come over and.
Speaker 5: Get that play.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: That's ridiculous, man.
Speaker 9: And my last little comment, I think Dave Roberts Man,
Speaker 9: I can't say I feel sorry for him because I don't, Man,
Speaker 9: because he should have kept button. However, he lives in
Speaker 9: San Diego, right, say goodbye?
Speaker 1: All right, there you go.
Speaker 2: Thank you Dave Roberts throwing the game because he lives
Speaker 2: in San Diego. That's Dave Ra's that's what's happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure that's how it went. Chuck, thank you
Speaker 1: really appreciate that call. All right, let's now go to
Speaker 1: Edgar Anaheim. Edgar, thanks for holding. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 10: Rogan?
Speaker 2: All good?
Speaker 1: My friend? Everything good?
Speaker 2: Well, you.
Speaker 4: Are the best. Don't ever change.
Speaker 11: I love you, bro, I love.
Speaker 12: You your passion.
Speaker 4: Okay, Dave Roberts Man, Dave Roberts, He's had everything over
Speaker 4: the years. This is not about this year.
Speaker 12: It's about every year.
Speaker 4: He's had the best teams. He's had talent, he's had,
Speaker 4: the pitching, he's had, the hitting, he's had everything. Is
Speaker 4: that about the bunt last night? What you do you
Speaker 4: tell Rowhouse? You sit him down? You know you're bunting regarded,
Speaker 4: I don't care if you.
Speaker 11: Strike out, you're bunting. Ohdani needs to come up. He's
Speaker 11: a goat, he's the got of the game. We want
Speaker 11: him up. Okay, Roberts is done. Rich Hill he took
Speaker 11: him out in the World Series.
Speaker 4: Why would you take him out? Kerry Shot should have
Speaker 4: pitched that game. This guy is done, dude, And then
Speaker 4: the attitude of the players needs to change. Freddy Freeman
Speaker 4: that ground Baltipirs phase. He walks back to the dugouts,
Speaker 4: no emotion, like they don't care. Mookie Betts, You're you're
Speaker 4: making banks. It's time to step up, dude. These guys
Speaker 4: are getting outplayed. Dodgers saying it was a packed house
Speaker 4: every night, fans are there. It's time to give the
Speaker 4: people some joy.
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, appreciated ed good things. To be fair,
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers probably have given the fans even
Speaker 1: a teeny bit of joy at times this year.
Speaker 2: There has been some. There has been some. I mean,
Speaker 2: I just just go to a game, even if they lose.
Speaker 2: You got helmet nachos. I mean, what what what else.
Speaker 1: More do you want?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if they're losing, helmet notach But look, we talked
Speaker 2: earlier about how this season. I said, Look, it's different
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers because jobs are at stake, right, and
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts is right there, and that's a big thing.
Speaker 2: Fred listen to the listen to these fans. Listen to
Speaker 2: the fans. They it's Robert's fault that Rojas hit into
Speaker 2: a triple play. I mean, this is where it's at.
Speaker 2: This is where it's at. Man, it's Robert's fault that
Speaker 2: he hit into a triple play, right like, like like, oh,
Speaker 2: you just have him bunt. Yeah, okay, you're not thinking
Speaker 2: that that this is ever gonna happen, right, worst case there, Okay,
Speaker 2: you can't bunt, but let's see what else happens. Give
Speaker 2: them a chance to swing the bat. As you said,
Speaker 2: he's gotten big hits before this season, but this is
Speaker 2: where this is turned into him grinding into a triple
Speaker 2: play is Dave. Robert's fault. This is where everybody's at
Speaker 2: right now. This is where the town is at right now.
Speaker 1: Fred, All right, let's go to uh ocean side. Paul,
Speaker 1: appreciate you holding go ahead. Oh he's gone. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: go Robert and Crito's Robert? Are you still there?
Speaker 13: I am, but you got to give me a second.
Speaker 13: I'm chasing my eyeball across the parking lot.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. That's Perry Bider very nice, very solid, Robert,
Speaker 1: very very solid.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I plucked it out seeing some plag guy on
Speaker 13: the back. I was gonna hit it with the wire brush,
Speaker 13: but it got away from me. But the reason I'm calling,
Speaker 13: I'm thinking the ninth batter and the orders should have
Speaker 13: crossed as low as possible, taken every pitch and either
Speaker 13: walked in around or struck out, and give the all
Speaker 13: stars at the top of the order.
Speaker 2: Time to do their job. All right, tell me Frobert
Speaker 2: my philosophy. Dave Roberts should have walked up to the
Speaker 2: home plate umpire said, we're taking a voluntary strikeout to
Speaker 2: get Otani up night. Pitcher doesn't need to throw any pitches.
Speaker 2: The umpire makes the announcement to the crowd, says, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have elected a voluntary strikeout with Miguel Rojas. The
Speaker 2: batter is out, he makes the big, he makes the
Speaker 2: big the the out moment, and everybody cheers because Otani
Speaker 2: is coming up. Hey we got Otani and bets. It's great,
Speaker 2: we got one out. The guys go. That would have
Speaker 2: been the thing that that's what Stave Roberts fault. He
Speaker 2: should have taken the voluntary strikeout and not had any
Speaker 2: pitches thrown to get Otani up, that's what should have happened.
Speaker 2: I'd say that's my fault. Fred, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1: No, if you had thought of that, this could have
Speaker 1: been a very different store.
Speaker 2: I know, I know suddenly it would have been different.
Speaker 2: All right, Andrew and Torns go ahead, Andrew.
Speaker 14: Hey, Fred, uh so, I think you know everyone's pointing
Speaker 14: at Roberts. But at the same time, the last few years,
Speaker 14: it's always come down to we never have enough pitching.
Speaker 14: I feel like they've got to do something with the
Speaker 14: strength and conditioning coaches for the pitchers because it seems
Speaker 14: every year, whether it's Gonsolin this year of course, is
Speaker 14: like crazy, everyone's getting hurt.
Speaker 7: But or other teams.
Speaker 14: Maybe it's just better scouting at the same time that
Speaker 14: they're scouting pitchers who can go the distance. But I mean,
Speaker 14: this is it's like ridiculous, Like if anyone's for sure
Speaker 14: job should be taken away, it's those guys. Whatever plan
Speaker 14: they have the pictures on is not good enough, because
Speaker 14: I mean we saw it in the very beginning that
Speaker 14: you know, Miller goes down, Bueller comes back immediately hurt Kershaw.
Speaker 14: He's a little bit older, so I can understand but
Speaker 14: I feel like all the younger guys is like, you know, what,
Speaker 14: what kind of program are we running if we can't
Speaker 14: get them to the end of the season. That you know,
Speaker 14: if we had a full rotation on stone Glass now
Speaker 14: Yamamoto clarity, I would feel a lot better. But it's
Speaker 14: gonna come down to you know, we're saying, oh, who's
Speaker 14: the third guy, who's the fourth guy? I'm like, man,
Speaker 14: it's I feel like those guys are are really responsible
Speaker 14: for what kind of hole they've put us in, and
Speaker 14: kind of put Roberts in the bad spot as well
Speaker 14: that he's getting into his bullpen in the fourth inning.
Speaker 5: No matter what.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call. Yeah, I think you
Speaker 1: have to look at everything. I just don't think you
Speaker 1: pointed at Dave Roberts. And this might seem shocking to everybody.
Speaker 1: The season isn't over and the playoffs haven't started yet.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of like this is a post
Speaker 1: mortem now, but they haven't even started the playoffs.
Speaker 2: That was last night.
Speaker 1: You ought to be upset and frustrated and freaked, but
Speaker 1: that was one game. They'll go back at it again tonight.
Speaker 1: Let's go to KC kse in thousand oaks.
Speaker 12: Go ahead, Hey, Fred, so that guy just tole my
Speaker 12: thunder because I think the strength and conditioning coaches should
Speaker 12: all be fired. There's no reason why these guys should
Speaker 12: be blowing out their shoulders and their elbows all over
Speaker 12: the place.
Speaker 6: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 12: And you know, last night is a microcosm of the
Speaker 12: way that Dave Roberts manages a team that Rojas should
Speaker 12: have been funt three times strikeout. Who cares if he
Speaker 12: grounds out and they make it out at third base?
Speaker 12: Do you have a Tawani, Bets and Freeman who are
Speaker 12: making like a gazillion dollars to do their job and
Speaker 12: they don't get to do it. And it's a freak show.
Speaker 12: It's a it's a freak play, obviously. And by the way, Rojas,
Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure I could get down the line in
Speaker 12: the time that it took him to get down the line.
Speaker 12: It's that's it's insane that that actually that that that happened.
Speaker 12: But it's a microcosm of ten years of us continuing
Speaker 12: to wait and here we are again, and we all
Speaker 12: know we're going to get bounced if we're in the
Speaker 12: wild card or in the division series because we don't
Speaker 12: have any pitching.
Speaker 1: All right, listen, do you really think you could beat
Speaker 1: Rojas in a race for sixty feet? No?
Speaker 12: No, I think I could have got from home plate
Speaker 12: to first base in the time it took for that
Speaker 12: triple plate to happen to beat that out. I don't
Speaker 12: think he ran all the way. There's no way that happens.
Speaker 12: It's it's a it's a it's a five, it's a
Speaker 12: what five?
Speaker 7: Three? Uh? Five?
Speaker 15: Four?
Speaker 6: Three?
Speaker 12: Triple play?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 12: Come on, and they never should have happened on three times.
Speaker 12: And then that's it.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, goodbye.
Speaker 2: You know we need Fred. Here's how you solve it.
Speaker 2: It's time now, because we've there's precedent for this before,
Speaker 2: there's precedent to find this out. David Vassay needs to
Speaker 2: race Miguel Rojas. He raced Adrian Gonzales right that happened.
Speaker 2: He needs to race Miguel. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 2: that today would be the day I'd bring it up,
Speaker 2: but maybe like later on, you know, when they clinch.
Speaker 1: Hey, wait a minute, why not why not why not
Speaker 1: go out to the ballpark today.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know how that's gonna be.
Speaker 1: That, Megan, you got a minute. I got this idea.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna wear loafers and uh here, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: carry my microphone and we're gonna race, all right from
Speaker 2: home plate to the first band. Ready, ready and go? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wait a couple of days and then we see it.
Speaker 2: But there's precedent to have this happen before we need that.
Speaker 1: That happened, all right two years ago. You remember the
Speaker 1: late Joe McDonald and uh souon Ahan. All right, they
Speaker 1: had a no, not a race. It's even better, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So they were at Dodger Stadium and this
Speaker 1: is when Stu was going through his phase of let
Speaker 1: me show you how to do it. Let me show
Speaker 1: you how to do it. These young kids are doing
Speaker 1: it differently. I'm gonna show you. So he's got Mike
Speaker 1: Sosha out there, and Sosha is teaching Stu how to
Speaker 1: block the plate, and Sosha's down it's off on the side.
Speaker 1: They have another little home plate on the grass, and
Speaker 1: Sosia's down in front with the glove and stuff and
Speaker 1: showing Stu how to do it. And he says Stu,
Speaker 1: why don't you give it a shot, And she says,
Speaker 1: give me that glove, you know, give me the glove.
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Sure. Okay, is this how you get down?
Speaker 1: And is this what you do? And Sosha says, listen,
Speaker 1: but you gotta be careful. And there's a runner coming
Speaker 1: at you. As a matter of fact, we've got one,
Speaker 1: honest to god. And Stu looks and it's Joe McDonald's,
Speaker 1: Big Joe, just bearing down on you, already running. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know what happened, don't you?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Is there a video of this?
Speaker 1: I think they did it live and you know there's
Speaker 1: no video of anything anymore. They destroyed all the archives.
Speaker 1: But I was there for that. Wow, And look who's
Speaker 1: coming at you? And Stu's eyes butted out of his
Speaker 1: head and here came Joe.
Speaker 2: Did Ducker Coreyan run after? Did he come right?
Speaker 1: Douckcryan?
Speaker 2: Okaydoo?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: One more Rex and Temecula wrap this up? Go ahead?
Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, we don't want David Besset going back to
Speaker 15: the orthopedic surgeon again their friend. Okay, Look I argued
Speaker 15: with David two years ago, coming back from a game
Speaker 15: when we lost to the Podas. You can't get beat
Speaker 15: up by your little brother, because word gets out that
Speaker 15: you got beat up by your little brother. There's a
Speaker 15: remedy for all this.
Speaker 3: Tonight.
Speaker 15: You come out and you win like twenty or nothing.
Speaker 15: Otani hits four home runs, Freeman hits four home runs.
Speaker 4: Bets.
Speaker 15: I can't believe this happened last night. And I'll wrap
Speaker 15: this up Fred by saying this all started when the
Speaker 15: Chargers moved to La.
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 2: That's it now we know, well, at least it wasn't
Speaker 2: at least it wasn't Dave Roberts fault. I mean we
Speaker 2: were right there to the Chargers move in La.
Speaker 1: No, but I think Dave Roberts actually talked to Dean Spanos.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he said, I got a plan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's actually he's actually a shadow owner of
Speaker 2: the Chargers. Dave Roberts. Yeah, that was the best.
Speaker 1: Now we got to figure it out. What is it. Well,
Speaker 1: the Chargers moved to La and the Dodgers went to Hell,
Speaker 1: and that was the end of it.
Speaker 2: Look, Dodgers pitching injuries justin Herbert is hurt. You're telling
Speaker 2: me you don't see it. You don't see it. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of common right there.
Speaker 1: You don't see it all right, next hour we'll go
Speaker 1: out to the stadium and check in with David Vassa.
Speaker 1: Dave has scene everything. I'm not sure we ever saw
Speaker 1: what he saw last night. So we'll do that next hour.
Speaker 1: It's coming back to town and it is a terri event.
Speaker 1: We look forward to it every single year, and Jason,
Speaker 1: we want to talk about it here for a second.
Speaker 1: Let's go all right, let's bring Kevin on. Kevin, thanks
Speaker 1: for jumping on here today. How are you.
Speaker 7: I'm doing fantastic. How are you guys this afternoon?
Speaker 1: We're doing great? Okay. We love the Pacific Air Show.
Speaker 1: We talk about it every year. It's such an incredible event.
Speaker 1: It is so unique, one of the biggest air shows
Speaker 1: in the world. What can we look forward to this year?
Speaker 7: Well, we're coming back for our eighth year this year.
Speaker 7: It's going to be another incredible weekend weather. It looks great.
Speaker 7: Some really cool things on deck this year, some first things,
Speaker 7: first timers for Huntington Beach. We've got the of course,
Speaker 7: the US Air Force Thunderbird's coming back. This is their
Speaker 7: seventh appearance, so they love Huntington Beach and the Pacific
Speaker 7: Air Show. But we'll have the final performance of the
Speaker 7: US Air Force a ten Thunderbolt demo, which has a
Speaker 7: really been an amazing demonstration for the Air Force for
Speaker 7: a long time, and this will be the final final
Speaker 7: time it will ever perform in front of a public
Speaker 7: display because the Air Force is getting ready to retire it.
Speaker 7: So that's pretty neat. We're gonna have aircraft landing on
Speaker 7: the beach this year thing for people to see up
Speaker 7: up close and personal. Down on the ticketed venue. Of course,
Speaker 7: we'll have Maverick and Iceman signing autographs, taking photos and
Speaker 7: and so much more. It's just an incredibly packed lineup,
Speaker 7: you know, five hours of you know, pretty much everything
Speaker 7: you can imagine.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, you got you gotta
Speaker 2: a little bit detail. They're landing on the beach. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to visualize how they're gonna let how is this
Speaker 2: gonna happen?
Speaker 10: This sounds crazy, Yeah, So you know, we're trying to
Speaker 10: always push the boundaries of you know, of bringing the
Speaker 10: entertainment to the beach, and this year what we're doing
Speaker 10: is it's called a stole demonstration.
Speaker 7: So STOLE stands for short takeoff and landing. So these
Speaker 7: are these essentially these bush planes that they land you know,
Speaker 7: out in Alaska and the water and all over the
Speaker 7: place in the wilderness, and we're gonna bring them down
Speaker 7: and do a demonstration right in front of it crowd
Speaker 7: on the sand and it's never been done before, so
Speaker 7: the world. This would be the world's first temporary landing
Speaker 7: area ever on the sand of an air show. It's
Speaker 7: gonna be really cool. So they'll actually land and then
Speaker 7: taxi shut the aircraft down and then all the kids
Speaker 7: and families will be able to go down and interact
Speaker 7: with the pilots. I don't know if you guys saw
Speaker 7: the aircraft that landed on top of the Berge calif
Speaker 7: the hotel in Dubai where he landed on the top
Speaker 7: of the hotel on the tennis court, But that was
Speaker 7: Luke Sapaeida, and he's actually going to be landing on
Speaker 7: the b.
Speaker 1: Because that's why it's never been done before. All Right,
Speaker 1: what else do you have coming up at the show?
Speaker 7: Oh, well, we've got some awesome stuff. We're going to
Speaker 7: have everybody's favorite, the F twenty two US Air Force
Speaker 7: F twenty two Raptor demo, which is absolutely incredible. We'll
Speaker 7: have some army helicopters. We've got Mike Gulian, who's a
Speaker 7: Red Bull air racer doing his thing. We've got the
Speaker 7: so compared commandos doing parachute jumps. We'll have four F
Speaker 7: fifteens at a little Louisiana Air National Guard that buy
Speaker 7: you Militia will have scaled composites Bertratan's company coming from
Speaker 7: the Mahabi Desert flying their proteus and some really cool,
Speaker 7: never before seen aircraft at an air show. We'll have
Speaker 7: the big stuff, the Casey one thirty five refueler, the
Speaker 7: F thirty five C, which is the Navy version of
Speaker 7: the F thirty five fighter. We'll have two of those airborne,
Speaker 7: and so much more. Well Aesthetics is flying a seven
Speaker 7: fifty seven. We'll have seven F eighteen's doing demonstrations. C
Speaker 7: one thirties. We'll have MV twenty two Osprey's coming up
Speaker 7: to do demonstrations. It's going to be absolutely incredible. I
Speaker 7: could keep going. By the way, there's probably another two
Speaker 7: dozen things I could read to you, but sofice to
Speaker 7: say it's a packed lineup, and what's cool about Pacific
Speaker 7: air Show because it's a remote show, not at an airport.
Speaker 7: We're at a beautiful beach. There's only about a minute
Speaker 7: between these acts, so you really have to time when
Speaker 7: you're going to use the restroom because you might miss something.
Speaker 1: All right, So the event is Friday October fourth through
Speaker 1: Sunday October sixth. What should people do if they want tickets?
Speaker 7: This should head over to Pacificairshow dot Com. We've got
Speaker 7: great ticket offerings there. We've tried to keep it very
Speaker 7: accessible for everybody. We've got general admission tickets and start
Speaker 7: at thirty dollars. I don't think you can even go
Speaker 7: to the movie theater for that price. So to get
Speaker 7: five five and a half hours of an unbelievable air show,
Speaker 7: it's a great value. And then you know, obviously you know,
Speaker 7: book a ticket and head on down to Huntington Beach.
Speaker 7: Like I said, Pacific Airshow dot Com is going to
Speaker 7: be an amazing weekend. We've got lots to see and
Speaker 7: do inside the precinct, so it's great for families and
Speaker 7: look forward to having everybody down there.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Listen, thanks for coming on. You have a
Speaker 1: great day, Thanks so much. Guys, all right, we continue
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers. David Massey will join us. You'll either
Speaker 1: be at the stadium or en route, and we'll get
Speaker 1: to them next
