Speaker 1: good time. People, come on out. We had a good time.
Speaker 2: Last year when we did it, it was a lot
Speaker 2: of fun, a lot of stories, a lot of surprises.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean surprises that you know in terms
Speaker 2: of gibaways, but I'm just surprises in terms of where
Speaker 2: the conversation turns. We don't know when it's gonna happen,
Speaker 2: but it always does, and so just get ready to
Speaker 2: have some interesting conversations.
Speaker 1: Well, one of the issues is Rod need to be
Speaker 1: honest with you when Eric's son, We never know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. We really don't. And then when you
Speaker 1: throw Chris into the mix.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and see those two go at it. It's
Speaker 2: it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: It really is a fun time.
Speaker 2: Yes, it should be a uh, they need to put
Speaker 2: the viewer discretion advised listener discretion is five hide the
Speaker 2: women and children, you know, no holds barred kind of discussion.
Speaker 1: Which is great. It is great, all right.
Speaker 2: That seven second delay might be a fifteen second delay, Fred, But.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. If you're there before we hit the
Speaker 1: delay for the air, you'll actually hear what was said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the way it works, if you're there, you'll hear it.
Speaker 1: And if we have to dump it, you won't hear
Speaker 1: it on the air. So there are things said there
Speaker 1: that you won't hear on the air, but you'll hear there. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. You know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk out of school. But why wouldn't I wouldn't because
Speaker 1: I always do. Of course you do. I can't remember
Speaker 1: if last year Christian told the story of the women
Speaker 1: he met while he was playing in the NFL. I
Speaker 1: can't remember. Do you remember if he did that? I don't. Oh,
Speaker 1: is that a dinner? I can't remember which one it was?
Speaker 2: No, they are all blurred together, right, was Ooh? Dinner
Speaker 2: was definitely an HBO night. Dinner was definitely an HBO
Speaker 2: after dark night. Yeah, but I don't remember the story,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if he told it on the
Speaker 2: air off the air, But the fact that you brought
Speaker 2: it up and the way you brought it up, I'm
Speaker 2: assuming that that conversation happened at dinner.
Speaker 1: Well, good, then I can bring it up to him
Speaker 1: on the ear tomorrow. We'll let it. We'll see how
Speaker 1: that goes. Yeah, anyway, come on out. We're looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing you. We're really gonna have a great time.
Speaker 1: And again we got you cover. We're gonna feed you.
Speaker 1: We got you hooked up. Come on out Coachella Spotlight
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Just jump on that tin and keep driving.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna drive all the way to El Centro
Speaker 1: or Brawley. You won't end up in Arizona. No, that
Speaker 1: going to blike not going to Blythe, not going to Blythe.
Speaker 1: And when you're out and the weather will be great.
Speaker 1: So come on out, be a part of the show.
Speaker 1: All right. So here's what Bill Plaski wrote. Now, you
Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago, he guaranteed they were
Speaker 1: gonna win a World Series of Dodgers. You did, and
Speaker 1: we all know how that went. And then he tried
Speaker 1: to accept some team called the Diamondbacks got on a roll. Fred. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I didn't blame him because I thought they were
Speaker 1: gonna win the series that year as well. So now
Speaker 1: bet he said he would never do that again. I
Speaker 1: will never ever do that again, And he hasn't. Now
Speaker 1: he's just written they're invincible. They're not gonna win the
Speaker 1: world He didn't say that, he just said they're invincible. Now,
Speaker 1: Dodger fans understand something. And we had Tanner Scott's news
Speaker 1: conference on earlier. Maybe we'll play a few of his
Speaker 1: comments later. But understand this, and we've lived this before.
Speaker 1: On paper, this team is a monster. On paper. This
Speaker 1: team should win, really shouldn't lose a game. They should
Speaker 1: be one hundred and sixty two and zero. I mean
Speaker 1: on paper, that's how good they are. Around the country,
Speaker 1: people hate the Dodgers. They are the villains of sport
Speaker 1: because on paper they should win everything. But we've seen
Speaker 1: that movie before. We know how that movie could play out,
Speaker 1: because on paper, in the past, they should have won. Now,
Speaker 1: they weren't loaded like this, but they were loaded and
Speaker 1: everybody assumed they would win and they didn't. So everything
Speaker 1: they've done puts you in a position to be really
Speaker 1: in the conversation, and that has sustained success. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: should win. That doesn't mean they will. It only puts
Speaker 1: you into a position where you should be there, and
Speaker 1: then who knows what happens. So when Bill wrights they're
Speaker 1: invincible on paper, they're pretty damn good, and in practical
Speaker 1: application they should be as well, because we know all
Speaker 1: of those guys. But I would ask you to consider
Speaker 1: last year during the regular season, the trials, that tribulations
Speaker 1: that Freddy Freeman went through that wasn't as great as year. Okay,
Speaker 1: now in the playoffs it was a different story. So
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's probably a little much to
Speaker 1: say they're invincible.
Speaker 2: Probably, no, it's inappropriate to say they're invincible, because you
Speaker 2: still have to play. It's still we are not AI
Speaker 2: and we're not human. I mean, we're not robots going
Speaker 2: out there looking at the paper and saying, Okay, this
Speaker 2: is how AI would, this is how AI would map
Speaker 2: it out, and the Dodgers sweep whoever on paper they should.
Speaker 2: You still have to go out and play, which is
Speaker 2: the beauty of it. So they're not invincible.
Speaker 1: They're not. But you want to believe that.
Speaker 2: You want to believe that there's nothing that can get
Speaker 2: past the Dodgers that they can't overcome. But unfortunately, and
Speaker 2: real life plays us out why we love sports so
Speaker 2: much and why it's still the last area and my
Speaker 2: people still spend so much money watching it and betting
Speaker 2: on it and all that kind of stuff because you
Speaker 2: don't know fred you don't know the outcome, and so
Speaker 2: that's the beauty of it. So, yeah, they're invincible until
Speaker 2: they play.
Speaker 1: I think that's fair yeah, every night when they go
Speaker 1: out there, we'll see how invincible they are. But I
Speaker 1: just don't want people to make a mistake. And I
Speaker 1: know how fans get, and I know how Dodger fans get.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you look at this team and we're gonna
Speaker 1: murder everybody. No, no, all Andrew Friedman has done, and
Speaker 1: Brandon Gomes and stand Casting and Mark Walter. All they
Speaker 1: have done is assembled a piece of a number of
Speaker 1: building blocks that put them in a position to have
Speaker 1: perhaps the best chance to win it all going in.
Speaker 1: But it is a long season. And during last season,
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing, don't get too up,
Speaker 1: don't get too down. Just don't because it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: until you get to what it does. And I think
Speaker 1: as a show we stayed pretty even keel last year.
Speaker 1: Didn't get it two up, didn't get two down. When
Speaker 1: ten in a row lose three in a row, it
Speaker 1: didn't matter. You're playing for something much bigger. And in
Speaker 1: the case of the Lakers, for example, I'm saying the
Speaker 1: same thing, don't get too up, don't get too down.
Speaker 1: They beat Boston, they don't beat Boston, that's okay. The
Speaker 1: difference in that situation is I'm not saying because you're
Speaker 1: playing for something bigger in that situation. I'm saying because
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and there's a distinct difference.
Speaker 1: When the Dodgers go in, you expect them to be
Speaker 1: there at the end. That's how they're going to earn
Speaker 1: their money. In theory, on paper, it's not going to
Speaker 1: be luck. If they end up there, it's not going
Speaker 1: to be boy they call it lightning in a bottle. No,
Speaker 1: or on paper. They have gone out and committed the money,
Speaker 1: it assembled the building blocks, and they should be there.
Speaker 1: That's not luck getting there. Maybe it'll take luck to
Speaker 1: win it, because there's always luck involved, but getting there
Speaker 1: that ain't lucky. They should be They're going to be there,
Speaker 1: they will be there, right, So it's not lucky. Right.
Speaker 1: So with the Dodgers, don't get too up, to get
Speaker 1: too down, because the real prize is down the road
Speaker 1: and the expectation is they will be compete eating for
Speaker 1: the real prize. With the Lakers, don't get too up,
Speaker 1: don't get too down, because that is what it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe in their minds, maybe Lebron and ad
Speaker 1: as competitors, believe we're gonna win the NBA title. They're
Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna win it. So don't get too
Speaker 1: up and don't get too down, because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, that's what it is. It's the same
Speaker 1: philosophy but applied in different ways to two teams in
Speaker 1: this market. Like the Clippers. You get really excited if
Speaker 1: they beat a good team. Why nobody expected much, So
Speaker 1: that's really cool. Wait, but do you though, Fred, do
Speaker 1: you get overly excited?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I like it when they be I know what, I know.
Speaker 2: It doesn't the Celtics last night, right, would you be
Speaker 2: shocked overly excited?
Speaker 4: Or O?
Speaker 1: Hum, it's regular season and they beat the Clippers.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: If the Clippers had won that game, yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. That was a good one. I
Speaker 1: would I thought that's pretty cool. But would you have
Speaker 1: been shocked? No? I wouldn't have been shocked. And here's why.
Speaker 1: Because both of the local basketball teams are what they are.
Speaker 1: They're good, not great. They're not bad. They're an average
Speaker 1: NBA team with some guys you know, well, on any
Speaker 1: given night, an NBA team can beat another one if
Speaker 1: you're competitive and good and they're good. They're both good,
Speaker 1: neither one great, So a good team can win on
Speaker 1: a given night, but if you use the blueprint of
Speaker 1: but it really matters in the NBA in April May.
Speaker 1: I don't see anything happening for those two teams then.
Speaker 1: And the Lakers are what they are finding guys on
Speaker 1: a periphery to help. They still haven't found those guys.
Speaker 1: The Clippers next year have some money so they can
Speaker 1: go out and try to make a splash and get
Speaker 1: some help for Harden and KWHI Okay, I like the
Speaker 1: Clipper supporting cast one hundred times better than I like
Speaker 1: the Lakers right now, one hundred times better. So for
Speaker 1: those two teams, you know, if they beat the Celtics,
Speaker 1: it's like the Lakers. You beat the Celtics tonight. That's cool,
Speaker 1: that's cool, that's good, but ago, but it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the NBA title. And I think what's
Speaker 1: happened is the level of expectation the Dodgers have set
Speaker 1: in the market colors your view of everything. Now. The
Speaker 1: expectation because of the Dodgers is these guys going to
Speaker 1: be there at the end. Again, can't guarantee it, but
Speaker 1: that's the expectation because of what they've done. Even the
Speaker 1: Rams have somehow created their own sense of expectation with
Speaker 1: a team that no one thought would be where it was,
Speaker 1: and aside from two mistakes, they could be playing Sunday
Speaker 1: for the championship of the National Football Conference. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think the Rams have established a bit of an expectation
Speaker 1: for themselves in the market, but the Lakers and Clippers
Speaker 1: have not. When you have a team that is so
Speaker 1: dominant and an ownership group that is so committed, and
Speaker 1: you see how that plays out, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you feel that way. Well, hell yeah, I expect the
Speaker 1: Dodgers to do those kinds of things. I expect the
Speaker 1: Dodgers to make the right decisions. I expect the Dodgers
Speaker 1: to be there at the end. But what about the
Speaker 1: other teams in LA. I think it transfers over, especially
Speaker 1: ran like the Lakers. Well, if the Dodgers are doing that,
Speaker 1: I expect the Lakers to be there. They've signed Lebron,
Speaker 1: they have a d but they're not And because of that,
Speaker 1: you just can't get to what and you can't get
Speaker 1: too done. They win, that's great, and if they lose,
Speaker 1: you can't be mad. You can't because it's what they
Speaker 1: are you. You know, it's terrible. But I'm not saying
Speaker 1: you're like in Orlando in the NBA. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2: But it's trying to figure out, Kevin, you help me
Speaker 2: what pictures Fred trying to paint for us right now?
Speaker 6: I think mostly that you know, the Dodgers have set
Speaker 6: such a high expectation level that anything less than a
Speaker 6: World Series championship is devastating. The last couple of years
Speaker 6: before this, prior season, when they lost in the first round,
Speaker 6: you're like, oh my god, this guy is falling. They
Speaker 6: need to fix this. This can't happen for as the
Speaker 6: Lakers can knock down in the first round of the playoffs, Like, man,
Speaker 6: really sucks. But I kind of could have seen this coming.
Speaker 6: Not saying that you're not disappointed and that you don't
Speaker 6: want them to go deeper. If anything, I'd guarantee you Rodney,
Speaker 6: that year they went to the Conference finals with Darvin Ham,
Speaker 6: you were shocked and surprised, like, oh my god, this
Speaker 6: is spectacular. Yeah, now, you were expecting to build on
Speaker 6: that and they didn't do it.
Speaker 1: But nobody thought.
Speaker 6: Going into that year, at least I don't think most
Speaker 6: people thought with Darvin Ham, first year head coach, and
Speaker 6: the roster that they had, that they make a run
Speaker 6: to the conference finals, you were surprised by it. For
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, you're not surprised if they make it to
Speaker 6: the NLCS. If anything, if they make it to the
Speaker 6: NLCS and lose, you are greatly disappointed because the expectation
Speaker 6: level has been set so high. I think that's what
Speaker 6: Fred is trying to say.
Speaker 1: No, well, that's what I said. Thank you, great, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I said. You're speaking a different language, though. No.
Speaker 1: I think what I said make complete and total sense,
Speaker 1: and I think most people agreeing Kevin said made complete sense. Wait,
Speaker 1: just at what I said, Rodney, really really we did
Speaker 1: it in fewer words. Somebody he said what I said?
Speaker 1: All right, Dodger Fancier's a question? Is this team invincible?
Speaker 1: All right? I mean we had Tanners kan on. All
Speaker 1: we need is uh Yates and that'll be everybody. Then
Speaker 1: everybody will have been on once he gets signed. So
Speaker 1: is this team invincible? A six six nine eight seven
Speaker 1: two yeah? Way in? It'd be curious to find out.
Speaker 1: Is that a dangerous word to use? Invincible? Yeah? Or
Speaker 1: or wait a minute right near. We had a bounds here.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're invincible. Oh oh okay, let's get into that.
Speaker 1: It's a six nine eight seven two seventy. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the MP day. I mean, not a hop day.
Speaker 1: It's a throwback day. What am I talking about? Fred?
Speaker 1: It's a throwback Thursday?
Speaker 2: Man, come on, come on right to Pete, Fred Logan, Man,
Speaker 2: come on ready all right?
Speaker 1: Eight six six ninety seven two? Are the Dodgers invincible
Speaker 1: in your mind as we move into spring training? Let's
Speaker 1: go to Huntington Beach and Kahala is on the line. Kahala,
Speaker 1: thanks for holding go ahead.
Speaker 7: Fred. I've been listening to you and watching you ever
Speaker 7: since I was in high school, so it's been a
Speaker 7: long time. I gave Roberts. You guys are why are
Speaker 7: you so high on Dave Roberts. He took over the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: He never should have gotten the job. He stole a
Speaker 7: base once. Okay, so what.
Speaker 1: Is this real?
Speaker 7: And he has been given real The roster is real,
Speaker 7: just beyond belief. And he screwed up the World Series
Speaker 7: against you, sent Kahala. He lost to the Diamondbacks to
Speaker 7: a bunch of twenty three year old guys.
Speaker 1: Kahala, No, Ronnie, you didn't. You didn't get puddled down. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to Kahala. Bring him back, bring
Speaker 1: him back. Okay, good, yeah, you there, Kahla.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. You got a minute,
Speaker 1: just one man that can ask you something?
Speaker 7: Absolutely all right?
Speaker 1: Good? What E's wrong with you? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Wrong with the guy just won
Speaker 1: the World Series and no one questions his roster. You
Speaker 1: could no, no, no, no, Khala wait wait wait no,
Speaker 1: no one questions the job he did. It's pretty much
Speaker 1: acknowledged that was one of the great managing jobs in baseball.
Speaker 1: Why why they had no pitching? Yes, they had no pitching.
Speaker 2: What do you think why multiple guys playing multiple positions?
Speaker 7: All right, you don't have a lot of pitching, but
Speaker 7: you've got three MVPs in your lineup.
Speaker 8: Overcome that?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no what what why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? They just won the World Series? What's
Speaker 1: his winning percentage history of baseball? He's got?
Speaker 2: But you can't take of the dogs, Paul, No, I
Speaker 2: could not, No, I could you could.
Speaker 7: I could not the.
Speaker 2: Level every Dave Robertson no, no, no, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: To him.
Speaker 7: With my buddies for the last few years?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, when you went round and round with it
Speaker 1: h with your buddies, did they all look at you
Speaker 1: and go nokhla be smoking?
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, they all think I'm not well.
Speaker 1: Why are you calling us?
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 1: Here's my question?
Speaker 7: When I think I have a great point.
Speaker 1: You got at the ridiculous point. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: If you if you criticize him, if you can criticize
Speaker 2: him every time they lose, don't you have to give
Speaker 2: him credit when they win?
Speaker 7: Rodney, I would give him credit if like he was
Speaker 7: the manager of the Baltimore Orioles or the cant of
Speaker 7: Day Raised. But the Dodgers have handed him a lineup
Speaker 7: and a roster that how can you possibly lose?
Speaker 1: All right, here's a fair thing to that.
Speaker 7: Why you guys are asking the question if they're invincible?
Speaker 1: Not really, No, that's not why we asked the question,
Speaker 1: to have you call up and say fire Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1: But let me ask you.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I'm not saying fire him. Oh, I'm
Speaker 7: just saying that he that guy gets a lot to credit. Okay,
Speaker 7: but he has Fred Look at what they did in
Speaker 7: the last couple of weeks. It's unbelievable what they have
Speaker 7: given him.
Speaker 9: Series.
Speaker 1: Okayla, hold on, now think about this for a minute.
Speaker 1: You know, managing a major league club is more than
Speaker 1: just who's playing tonight and who's in the bullpen.
Speaker 7: You know that, right, I know you got to manage
Speaker 7: personalities and.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait wait wait wait, go ahead, Rodney, Wow, what
Speaker 1: did you just say?
Speaker 7: You have to manage the egos of the guys.
Speaker 9: I get that.
Speaker 1: Oh so that is a part of it. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: just being yeah, and if.
Speaker 7: You look at you guys, I'm going back to his failures.
Speaker 7: But why why because he gets too much credit it
Speaker 7: for last year?
Speaker 1: All right, No he doesn't. All right, goodbye, Cohala, goodbye.
Speaker 1: But thank you for calling. Thank you. Look Tony and
Speaker 1: Santa Clarida, Tony, are you there? What do you think?
Speaker 1: Are they invincible?
Speaker 4: They are invincible unless they start thinking that their minor
Speaker 4: leaguers are sacred and they can't be traded like they've
Speaker 4: been doing in the recent past. Where Gavin Luck should
Speaker 4: have been traded a long time ago, this Kartaya guy
Speaker 4: should have been traded. The Ruiz guys should have been
Speaker 4: traded sooner. A lot of the Dodgers could have been
Speaker 4: better sooner if they would have been willing to trade
Speaker 4: their minor leaguers. That's why they're taking so long to
Speaker 4: win the World Series.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, that makes that makes sense. So they won
Speaker 1: the World Series last year and Gavin Lux was on
Speaker 1: the roster, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they traded him for nothing. They got nothing
Speaker 4: for him.
Speaker 1: They didn't need him anymore. They got a young years ago.
Speaker 4: They could have got who him for something better than
Speaker 4: that guy they got from the Rangers. Remember the picture
Speaker 4: from the Rangers. There was another team they wanted to
Speaker 4: give him a picture, but they wanted Gavin Lux and
Speaker 4: they said no.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't know there the guy they got
Speaker 1: for Gavin Lux wasn't I'm trying to remember. Wasn't that
Speaker 1: the guy that they tried to draft years.
Speaker 4: Ago roster from Cincinnati. He's not even on the roster,
Speaker 4: but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: They don't need him for the roster. Now, that's what
Speaker 1: I remember.
Speaker 4: Alex Guerrero, that guy choking.
Speaker 1: But listen, they should have traded uh cartaya, Okay, why
Speaker 1: for what? They didn't need anything?
Speaker 4: You should trade gath LUTs tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But no, they don't need They didn't need it. You
Speaker 1: hold on to guys, you hope you. You evaluate guys
Speaker 1: and try to figure out what their ceiling is, and
Speaker 1: if you think they've hit it, then you move them.
Speaker 1: Gavin Lux had a lot of upside. They were counting
Speaker 1: on him. He was a top prospect. They wanted to
Speaker 1: give him every opportunity, and they really and they really
Speaker 1: to be fair tony last year. No, he didn't hit
Speaker 1: three point fifty. You know what. He came around. He
Speaker 1: hit the ball, he hit the ball. He came up
Speaker 1: with some big hits. But they went out and signed
Speaker 1: this new guy from Korea that they really liked. That
Speaker 1: made Gavin Lucks accessible. I can assure you if they
Speaker 1: believed Gavin Lux was gonna hit three twenty steal forty
Speaker 1: bases this year, they wouldn't have trained them. I promise
Speaker 1: you that.
Speaker 4: So when you guys go to the spring training, don't
Speaker 4: don't tell us about any minor leaguers. We don't care
Speaker 4: about any of them. Who cares about him? Okay, thank you, goodbye.
Speaker 2: Don't care about the minor leaguers, hey, which is the
Speaker 2: reason why the Dodgers are the Dodgers, you know, because
Speaker 2: their whole system, their whole farm system, top to bottom,
Speaker 2: is as good as it gets in Major League Baseball
Speaker 2: and in fact all of sports, because they do scout,
Speaker 2: draft develop better than anybody else.
Speaker 1: So using Tony and that was good Tony. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna mention any minor leaguers, but that means we'll
Speaker 1: never mention Bronnie James again because he's a minor leaguer
Speaker 1: in the NBA, so we can't mention him.
Speaker 2: I can't believe Bronni caught astray from you, Fred, No shocker.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm just no, I'm using Tony's philosophy. We should
Speaker 1: never mention.
Speaker 2: Why would you bring that up? Why would you bring
Speaker 2: him up in a straight and we're talking about the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: That's awful, you.
Speaker 1: Know what, I don't know. I don't know. It's just
Speaker 1: the way you looked at me. It upset me. And
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I did that, all right,
Speaker 1: Joy Joey brings some joy in Alpine. Joy. Are the
Speaker 1: Dodgers invincible? Yes or no?
Speaker 10: It's a It's a joy, a j oy.
Speaker 11: A joy joy, a joy, a joy Okay, as far
Speaker 11: as I'm being invincible, I mean, I don't think you
Speaker 11: could ever say that about any team, right.
Speaker 10: We had some great teams that went over one hundred games.
Speaker 10: We're supposed to be invincible then, and then we show
Speaker 10: up to a divisional series with like one pitcher left, right,
Speaker 10: So baseball is a long season, man. I don't think
Speaker 10: you could say that until you we really figure out
Speaker 10: where you're at about July August. But I just wanted
Speaker 10: to kind of touch on something that somebody was saying
Speaker 10: earlier on one of the calls, just in regard to
Speaker 10: Dave Roberts. You know, Dave Roberts gets a lot of
Speaker 10: a lot of you know, people coming after him for
Speaker 10: he has a team, right, but we got turned guys
Speaker 10: like Justin Turner, Max Munsey, and you go on and
Speaker 10: on into household names, and he did that, right, So
Speaker 10: it's something that we deal with on a daily basis.
Speaker 10: They said that he didn't steal enough bases, right, We're
Speaker 10: one of the most aggressive base running teams is last
Speaker 10: year as a winner, so you know, he gets a
Speaker 10: lot of slack or some things that I don't think
Speaker 10: too many baseball fans really pay attention to But to
Speaker 10: answer your question, I don't think we're completely invincible. I
Speaker 10: think that we just put together what we can to
Speaker 10: get to a season. See what we've dealt with in
Speaker 10: the past, right, and I think it's gonna be awesome
Speaker 10: to watch. But definitely I want to see where we're at.
Speaker 10: Come JUNI or July again, right, because we see you
Speaker 10: had some ro of July is like last year?
Speaker 1: All right, stream of consciousness for a joy? Good job,
Speaker 1: good job, all right, good job, Lee and Robert. We
Speaker 1: see you're sitting there, and if you want to hang
Speaker 1: a minute, we're gonna get John. Yeah, Lee and Robert,
Speaker 1: you want to hang when we get back, we'll get
Speaker 1: you right on. Okay, question is are the Dodgers given
Speaker 1: this roster invincible?
Speaker 2: All Right, here we go home stretch. Rodney beat Fred Rogan.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throwback Thursday. Come on now, Freddie Freddy. I'm
Speaker 2: a little uh wow, I'm a little taken aback by
Speaker 2: some of a couple of the calls we had.
Speaker 1: Fred all right, well, we gotta get to the rest
Speaker 1: of them. Gotta get to the rest of them, Rodney
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Let's get it. Let's
Speaker 1: get it all right, let's do uh Lee in Corona
Speaker 1: and Lee get on here. Make your point. Please? Are
Speaker 1: the Dodgers invincible?
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, love your show. No, they're not invincible, because,
Speaker 9: like Rodney says, that's why you play the games. I
Speaker 9: just want to real quick talk about Roberts for a minute.
Speaker 9: I know that's not the question you asked, and I'm
Speaker 9: not a Roberts fan by any means, but he gets
Speaker 9: a lot of credit for last year with the way
Speaker 9: he managed the pitchers. Yeah, and what people don't even
Speaker 9: realize in twenty twenty three, even though they got swept,
Speaker 9: if it wasn't for its good bullpen managing in games
Speaker 9: two in Game three, those games would have been blowouts.
Speaker 9: You know, he couldn't help it when Lynn gave up
Speaker 9: three straight home runs or four whatever it was to start.
Speaker 9: It happened so fast. But I'm not a huge Roberts fan,
Speaker 9: but I don't believe. I believe in being fair. And
Speaker 9: if you're gonna criticize him, which I've done for twenty seventeen,
Speaker 9: starting Darvish in Game seven twenty eighteen for taking out
Speaker 9: richell ye seventh inning against the Red Sox, you gotta
Speaker 9: be fair, and you also have to give him credit.
Speaker 9: But no, no team is invincible. And I was just
Speaker 9: listen to your guys comments and Rodney fight on baby.
Speaker 1: Fight home, right home, Robert in Long Beach, Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Robert, Hey, guys, thanks piking the call. So if there's
Speaker 3: a Hall of fame for backseat drivers and moneymoon quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: those previous two guys are in their first ballot, let
Speaker 3: me tell you. But as far as invincible, invincible is
Speaker 3: a big word. But I will say to a Joy's
Speaker 3: point about the pitching injuries in the playoffs, we have
Speaker 3: got a six man rotation now, five of which are
Speaker 3: aces on any other team. I think they're gonna go
Speaker 3: into the playoffs a lot healthier, and I think there's
Speaker 3: there's a better chance than not that these guys repeat
Speaker 3: the World Series.
Speaker 1: Guys, all right, appreciate it. Robert in Menafee ne amiyah,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 5: How's it going, guys, Invincible is a is a big word,
Speaker 5: Like the callers said before, But I like to go
Speaker 5: back to as saying, I've always been told practice makes permanent,
Speaker 5: not perfect, and the Dodgers' history has been nothing short
Speaker 5: of permanent. Everything that they've been doing up to this
Speaker 5: point has shown us that they are an organization to
Speaker 5: look out for and shout out to my guy, Victor
Speaker 5: brick Man. Haven't heard of him in a while.
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it. Neamayah, let's wrap it up. One
Speaker 1: final person. Here we go, Here we go. Come on,
Speaker 1: who you think? Oh it's not Isabelle in Anaheim.
Speaker 2: Ah, hey guy, don't make it quick, Nodren.
