Maybe I don't know why, but we're giving 14 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.079 you two hundred dollars. I don't know why we're not 15 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.920 giving you fifty dollars with a ticket.

We could do a 21 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.640 good time. People, come on out. We had a good time. 22 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.400 Last year when we did it, it was a lot 23 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.920 of fun, a lot of stories, a lot of surprises. 24 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.000 And I don't mean surprises that you know in terms 25 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.239 of gibaways, but I'm just surprises in terms of where 26 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.519 the conversation turns. We don't know when it's gonna happen, 27 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.760 but it always does, and so just get ready to 28 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.480 have some interesting conversations. 29 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.000 Well, one of the issues is Rod need to be 30 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.840 honest with you when Eric's son, We never know what's 31 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.760 going to happen. We really don't. And then when you 32 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.519 throw Chris into the mix. 33 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.799 Oh yeah, and see those two go at it. It's 34 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.159 it's hilarious. 35 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.640 It really is a fun time. 36 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:51.120 Yes, it should be a uh, they need to put 37 00:01:51.159 --> 00:02:01.359 the viewer discretion advised listener discretion is five hide the 38 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.959 women and children, you know, no holds barred kind of discussion. 39 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.439 Which is great. It is great, all right. 40 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.879 That seven second delay might be a fifteen second delay, Fred, But. 41 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:18.280 Here's the thing. If you're there before we hit the 42 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.319 delay for the air, you'll actually hear what was said. Yeah, 43 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.599 because the way it works, if you're there, you'll hear it. 44 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.439 And if we have to dump it, you won't hear 45 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.439 it on the air. So there are things said there 46 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.039 that you won't hear on the air, but you'll hear there. Yes, 47 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.759 I'm trying to remember. You know, I don't want to 48 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.719 talk out of school. But why wouldn't I wouldn't because 49 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.120 I always do. Of course you do. I can't remember 50 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.800 if last year Christian told the story of the women 51 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.560 he met while he was playing in the NFL. I 52 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.360 can't remember. Do you remember if he did that? I don't. Oh, 53 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.599 is that a dinner? I can't remember which one it was? 54 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.360 No, they are all blurred together, right, was Ooh? Dinner 55 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.199 was definitely an HBO night. Dinner was definitely an HBO 56 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.039 after dark night. Yeah, but I don't remember the story, 57 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.719 and I don't know if he told it on the 58 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.080 air off the air, But the fact that you brought 59 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.360 it up and the way you brought it up, I'm 60 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.879 assuming that that conversation happened at dinner. 61 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.400 Well, good, then I can bring it up to him 62 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.680 on the ear tomorrow. We'll let it. We'll see how 63 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.039 that goes. Yeah, anyway, come on out. We're looking forward 64 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.960 to seeing you. We're really gonna have a great time. 65 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.919 And again we got you cover. We're gonna feed you. 66 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.680 We got you hooked up. Come on out Coachella Spotlight 67 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.439 twenty nine. Just jump on that tin and keep driving. 68 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.560 You're not gonna drive all the way to El Centro 69 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.719 or Brawley. You won't end up in Arizona. No, that 70 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.400 going to blike not going to Blythe, not going to Blythe. 71 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.159 And when you're out and the weather will be great. 72 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.039 So come on out, be a part of the show. 73 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.800 All right. So here's what Bill Plaski wrote. Now, you 74 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.560 remember a couple of years ago, he guaranteed they were 75 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.879 gonna win a World Series of Dodgers. You did, and 76 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.960 we all know how that went. And then he tried 77 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.039 to accept some team called the Diamondbacks got on a roll. Fred. Yeah, 78 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.759 And I didn't blame him because I thought they were 79 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.879 gonna win the series that year as well. So now 80 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.959 bet he said he would never do that again. I 81 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.639 will never ever do that again, And he hasn't. Now 82 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.959 he's just written they're invincible. They're not gonna win the 83 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:38.439 world He didn't say that, he just said they're invincible. Now, 84 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.959 Dodger fans understand something. And we had Tanner Scott's news 85 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.279 conference on earlier. Maybe we'll play a few of his 86 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:52.439 comments later. But understand this, and we've lived this before. 87 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.920 On paper, this team is a monster. On paper. This 88 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.199 team should win, really shouldn't lose a game. They should 89 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.959 be one hundred and sixty two and zero. I mean 90 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:10.399 on paper, that's how good they are. Around the country, 91 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.199 people hate the Dodgers. They are the villains of sport 92 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:19.879 because on paper they should win everything. But we've seen 93 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.399 that movie before. We know how that movie could play out, 94 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.000 because on paper, in the past, they should have won. Now, 95 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.279 they weren't loaded like this, but they were loaded and 96 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.519 everybody assumed they would win and they didn't. So everything 97 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.360 they've done puts you in a position to be really 98 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.160 in the conversation, and that has sustained success. Yeah, they 99 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.639 should win. That doesn't mean they will. It only puts 100 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.360 you into a position where you should be there, and 101 00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.319 then who knows what happens. So when Bill wrights they're 102 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:07.560 invincible on paper, they're pretty damn good, and in practical 103 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.720 application they should be as well, because we know all 104 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.000 of those guys. But I would ask you to consider 105 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:19.079 last year during the regular season, the trials, that tribulations 106 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.240 that Freddy Freeman went through that wasn't as great as year. Okay, 107 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.519 now in the playoffs it was a different story. So 108 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.639 I just think it's it's probably a little much to 109 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.399 say they're invincible. 110 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:42.879 Probably, no, it's inappropriate to say they're invincible, because you 111 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.920 still have to play. It's still we are not AI 112 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.079 and we're not human. I mean, we're not robots going 113 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.519 out there looking at the paper and saying, Okay, this 114 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.800 is how AI would, this is how AI would map 115 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.279 it out, and the Dodgers sweep whoever on paper they should. 116 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.839 You still have to go out and play, which is 117 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.079 the beauty of it. So they're not invincible. 118 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.720 They're not. But you want to believe that. 119 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.399 You want to believe that there's nothing that can get 120 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.639 past the Dodgers that they can't overcome. But unfortunately, and 121 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.040 real life plays us out why we love sports so 122 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.160 much and why it's still the last area and my 123 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.120 people still spend so much money watching it and betting 124 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.920 on it and all that kind of stuff because you 125 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.319 don't know fred you don't know the outcome, and so 126 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.560 that's the beauty of it. So, yeah, they're invincible until 127 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.000 they play. 128 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.879 I think that's fair yeah, every night when they go 129 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.920 out there, we'll see how invincible they are. But I 130 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.680 just don't want people to make a mistake. And I 131 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.720 know how fans get, and I know how Dodger fans get. 132 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.959 Oh well, you look at this team and we're gonna 133 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.000 murder everybody. No, no, all Andrew Friedman has done, and 134 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.000 Brandon Gomes and stand Casting and Mark Walter. All they 135 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.240 have done is assembled a piece of a number of 136 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.959 building blocks that put them in a position to have 137 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.360 perhaps the best chance to win it all going in. 138 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.040 But it is a long season. And during last season, 139 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.800 I would say the same thing, don't get too up, 140 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.560 don't get too down. Just don't because it doesn't matter 141 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.240 until you get to what it does. And I think 142 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.600 as a show we stayed pretty even keel last year. 143 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.159 Didn't get it two up, didn't get two down. When 144 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.960 ten in a row lose three in a row, it 145 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:47.240 didn't matter. You're playing for something much bigger. And in 146 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.559 the case of the Lakers, for example, I'm saying the 147 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.759 same thing, don't get too up, don't get too down. 148 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.200 They beat Boston, they don't beat Boston, that's okay. The 149 00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:02.639 difference in that situation is I'm not saying because you're 150 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:07.799 playing for something bigger in that situation. I'm saying because 151 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.279 it is what it is, and there's a distinct difference. 152 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.120 When the Dodgers go in, you expect them to be 153 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.039 there at the end. That's how they're going to earn 154 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.840 their money. In theory, on paper, it's not going to 155 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.000 be luck. If they end up there, it's not going 156 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.960 to be boy they call it lightning in a bottle. No, 157 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.320 or on paper. They have gone out and committed the money, 158 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.799 it assembled the building blocks, and they should be there. 159 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.000 That's not luck getting there. Maybe it'll take luck to 160 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.879 win it, because there's always luck involved, but getting there 161 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.240 that ain't lucky. They should be They're going to be there, 162 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.399 they will be there, right, So it's not lucky. Right. 163 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.039 So with the Dodgers, don't get too up, to get 164 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.159 too down, because the real prize is down the road 165 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.399 and the expectation is they will be compete eating for 166 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.399 the real prize. With the Lakers, don't get too up, 167 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.720 don't get too down, because that is what it is. 168 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.519 I mean, maybe in their minds, maybe Lebron and ad 169 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.080 as competitors, believe we're gonna win the NBA title. They're 170 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.159 not I'm not gonna win it. So don't get too 171 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.159 up and don't get too down, because at the end 172 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:25.320 of the day, that's what it is. It's the same 173 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.200 philosophy but applied in different ways to two teams in 174 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.360 this market. Like the Clippers. You get really excited if 175 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:37.440 they beat a good team. Why nobody expected much, So 176 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.159 that's really cool. Wait, but do you though, Fred, do 177 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:41.519 you get overly excited? 178 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:41.799 Yeah? 179 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.960 I like it when they be I know what, I know. 180 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:48.279 It doesn't the Celtics last night, right, would you be 181 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:50.840 shocked overly excited? 182 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.080 Or O? 183 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.519 Hum, it's regular season and they beat the Clippers. 184 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:54.879 No. 185 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.440 If the Clippers had won that game, yeah, I thought 186 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.480 that was pretty cool. That was a good one. I 187 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.879 would I thought that's pretty cool. But would you have 188 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:11.039 been shocked? No? I wouldn't have been shocked. And here's why. 189 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.879 Because both of the local basketball teams are what they are. 190 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:24.639 They're good, not great. They're not bad. They're an average 191 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.799 NBA team with some guys you know, well, on any 192 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:34.759 given night, an NBA team can beat another one if 193 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:39.200 you're competitive and good and they're good. They're both good, 194 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.919 neither one great, So a good team can win on 195 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:50.399 a given night, but if you use the blueprint of 196 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.879 but it really matters in the NBA in April May. 197 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.120 I don't see anything happening for those two teams then. 198 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.279 And the Lakers are what they are finding guys on 199 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.519 a periphery to help. They still haven't found those guys. 200 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.799 The Clippers next year have some money so they can 201 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.799 go out and try to make a splash and get 202 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.600 some help for Harden and KWHI Okay, I like the 203 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.480 Clipper supporting cast one hundred times better than I like 204 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:28.240 the Lakers right now, one hundred times better. So for 205 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.039 those two teams, you know, if they beat the Celtics, 206 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.320 it's like the Lakers. You beat the Celtics tonight. That's cool, 207 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:39.120 that's cool, that's good, but ago, but it doesn't mean 208 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.480 they're gonna win the NBA title. And I think what's 209 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:48.279 happened is the level of expectation the Dodgers have set 210 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.960 in the market colors your view of everything. Now. The 211 00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:00.360 expectation because of the Dodgers is these guys going to 212 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.480 be there at the end. Again, can't guarantee it, but 213 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:09.679 that's the expectation because of what they've done. Even the 214 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.480 Rams have somehow created their own sense of expectation with 215 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.960 a team that no one thought would be where it was, 216 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.679 and aside from two mistakes, they could be playing Sunday 217 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.440 for the championship of the National Football Conference. Okay, I 218 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.919 think the Rams have established a bit of an expectation 219 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:32.159 for themselves in the market, but the Lakers and Clippers 220 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.080 have not. When you have a team that is so 221 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.799 dominant and an ownership group that is so committed, and 222 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.600 you see how that plays out, all of a sudden, 223 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.559 you feel that way. Well, hell yeah, I expect the 224 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.720 Dodgers to do those kinds of things. I expect the 225 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.440 Dodgers to make the right decisions. I expect the Dodgers 226 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.799 to be there at the end. But what about the 227 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.799 other teams in LA. I think it transfers over, especially 228 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.320 ran like the Lakers. Well, if the Dodgers are doing that, 229 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.559 I expect the Lakers to be there. They've signed Lebron, 230 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:12.360 they have a d but they're not And because of that, 231 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.080 you just can't get to what and you can't get 232 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.679 too done. They win, that's great, and if they lose, 233 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:25.039 you can't be mad. You can't because it's what they 234 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:31.159 are you. You know, it's terrible. But I'm not saying 235 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.000 you're like in Orlando in the NBA. I'm not saying that. 236 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.440 But it's trying to figure out, Kevin, you help me 237 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.200 what pictures Fred trying to paint for us right now? 238 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.759 I think mostly that you know, the Dodgers have set 239 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.039 such a high expectation level that anything less than a 240 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.840 World Series championship is devastating. The last couple of years 241 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.919 before this, prior season, when they lost in the first round, 242 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.600 you're like, oh my god, this guy is falling. They 243 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.840 need to fix this. This can't happen for as the 244 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.840 Lakers can knock down in the first round of the playoffs, Like, man, 245 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.080 really sucks. But I kind of could have seen this coming. 246 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.960 Not saying that you're not disappointed and that you don't 247 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.799 want them to go deeper. If anything, I'd guarantee you Rodney, 248 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.200 that year they went to the Conference finals with Darvin Ham, 249 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.759 you were shocked and surprised, like, oh my god, this 250 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.799 is spectacular. Yeah, now, you were expecting to build on 251 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.679 that and they didn't do it. 252 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:18.799 But nobody thought. 253 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.799 Going into that year, at least I don't think most 254 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.639 people thought with Darvin Ham, first year head coach, and 255 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.559 the roster that they had, that they make a run 256 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.039 to the conference finals, you were surprised by it. For 257 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.120 the Dodgers, you're not surprised if they make it to 258 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.399 the NLCS. If anything, if they make it to the 259 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.679 NLCS and lose, you are greatly disappointed because the expectation 260 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.799 level has been set so high. I think that's what 261 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:38.759 Fred is trying to say. 262 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.120 No, well, that's what I said. Thank you, great, Okay, 263 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.600 that's exactly what I said. You're speaking a different language, though. No. 264 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.840 I think what I said make complete and total sense, 265 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.960 and I think most people agreeing Kevin said made complete sense. Wait, 266 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.200 just at what I said, Rodney, really really we did 267 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.320 it in fewer words. Somebody he said what I said? 268 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.440 All right, Dodger Fancier's a question? Is this team invincible? 269 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.639 All right? I mean we had Tanners kan on. All 270 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.840 we need is uh Yates and that'll be everybody. Then 271 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.320 everybody will have been on once he gets signed. So 272 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.759 is this team invincible? A six six nine eight seven 273 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:30.799 two yeah? Way in? It'd be curious to find out. 274 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.639 Is that a dangerous word to use? Invincible? Yeah? Or 275 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:38.799 or wait a minute right near. We had a bounds here. 276 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.919 Maybe they're invincible. Oh oh okay, let's get into that. 277 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:51.000 It's a six nine eight seven two seventy. Oh yeah, 278 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.440 it's the MP day. I mean, not a hop day. 279 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.759 It's a throwback day. What am I talking about? Fred? 280 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.440 It's a throwback Thursday? 281 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.559 Man, come on, come on right to Pete, Fred Logan, Man, 282 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:02.240 come on ready all right? 283 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:07.839 Eight six six ninety seven two? Are the Dodgers invincible 284 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.640 in your mind as we move into spring training? Let's 285 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.839 go to Huntington Beach and Kahala is on the line. Kahala, 286 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:17.119 thanks for holding go ahead. 287 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.279 Fred.

You guys are why are 290 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.200 you so high on Dave Roberts. He took over the Dodgers. 291 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.880 He never should have gotten the job. He stole a 292 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.480 base once. Okay, so what. 293 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:43.599 Is this real? 294 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:48.759 And he has been given real The roster is real, 295 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.799 just beyond belief.

He lost to the Diamondbacks to 297 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.559 a bunch of twenty three year old guys. 298 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.799 Kahala, No, Ronnie, you didn't. You didn't get puddled down.

It's pretty much 310 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.319 acknowledged that was one of the great managing jobs in baseball. 311 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.240 Why why they had no pitching? Yes, they had no pitching. 312 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.960 What do you think why multiple guys playing multiple positions? 313 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.160 All right, you don't have a lot of pitching, but 314 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.559 you've got three MVPs in your lineup. 315 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:00.759 Overcome that? 316 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.799 No, no, no, no, no no what what why are 317 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.519 you doing this?

But the Dodgers have handed him a lineup 340 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:39.279 and a roster that how can you possibly lose? 341 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.039 All right, here's a fair thing to that. 342 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.160 Why you guys are asking the question if they're invincible? 343 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.200 Not really, No, that's not why we asked the question, 344 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.559 to have you call up and say fire Dave Roberts. 345 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:50.640 But let me ask you. 346 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:55.400 No, no, no, I'm not saying fire him.

It's unbelievable what they have 350 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.599 given him. 351 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.079 Series. 352 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.319 Okayla, hold on, now think about this for a minute. 353 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.880 You know, managing a major league club is more than 354 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.839 just who's playing tonight and who's in the bullpen. 355 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.599 You know that, right, I know you got to manage 356 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:30.960 personalities and. 357 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:36.680 Okay, wait wait wait wait, go ahead, Rodney, Wow, what 358 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:37.480 did you just say? 359 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.839 You have to manage the egos of the guys. 360 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:42.400 I get that. 361 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.720 Oh so that is a part of it. Okay, okay, 362 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:46.960 just being yeah, and if. 363 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:52.440 You look at you guys, I'm going back to his failures. 364 00:21:52.880 --> 00:22:00.359 But why why because he gets too much credit it 365 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:01.359 for last year? 366 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:05.039 All right, No he doesn't. All right, goodbye, Cohala, goodbye. 367 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.720 But thank you for calling. Thank you. Look Tony and 368 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.960 Santa Clarida, Tony, are you there? What do you think? 369 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.880 Are they invincible? 370 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.400 They are invincible unless they start thinking that their minor 371 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.799 leaguers are sacred and they can't be traded like they've 372 00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.640 been doing in the recent past. Where Gavin Luck should 373 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.720 have been traded a long time ago, this Kartaya guy 374 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.880 should have been traded. The Ruiz guys should have been 375 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.400 traded sooner. A lot of the Dodgers could have been 376 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.279 better sooner if they would have been willing to trade 377 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:37.640 their minor leaguers. That's why they're taking so long to 378 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.519 win the World Series. 379 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.039 Okay, no, that makes that makes sense. So they won 380 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.880 the World Series last year and Gavin Lux was on 381 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:45.960 the roster, right. 382 00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.799 Yeah, but they traded him for nothing. They got nothing 383 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.200 for him. 384 00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.480 They didn't need him anymore. They got a young years ago. 385 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.440 They could have got who him for something better than 386 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.720 that guy they got from the Rangers. Remember the picture 387 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.319 from the Rangers. There was another team they wanted to 388 00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:03.559 give him a picture, but they wanted Gavin Lux and 389 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.200 they said no. 390 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.480 Yeah, but you don't know there the guy they got 391 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.880 for Gavin Lux wasn't I'm trying to remember. Wasn't that 392 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.000 the guy that they tried to draft years. 393 00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:19.480 Ago roster from Cincinnati. He's not even on the roster, 394 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:20.519 but it doesn't matter. 395 00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:23.160 They don't need him for the roster. Now, that's what 396 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.559 I remember. 397 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.720 Alex Guerrero, that guy choking. 398 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:30.440 But listen, they should have traded uh cartaya, Okay, why 399 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.640 for what? They didn't need anything? 400 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.000 You should trade gath LUTs tomorrow. 401 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.319
