Speaker 1: Ah, there we go.
Speaker 2: Fred Rrogan, Jonas Nachen today for Rodney on AM five
Speaker 2: to seventy LA Sports. Well, it was tight last night,
Speaker 2: at least for a while. Well actually it was tight
Speaker 2: for a long while, and when it was all said
Speaker 2: and done, the Dodgers prevailed. Now, so Heo Tani tripled
Speaker 2: in the ballgame. I think the fans and Anaheim pretty
Speaker 2: much acknowledged his presence and were happy to see him. Jonas,
Speaker 2: what would you.
Speaker 1: Say, Yeah, I would think so. And look, it was
Speaker 1: kind of the feedback that we got yesterday when we
Speaker 1: talked to people who are Angels fans and they were
Speaker 1: just saying, look, we're going to celebrate the guy. We
Speaker 1: had a guy call in say we like going out
Speaker 1: to the ballpark and it's still fun no matter what.
Speaker 1: And it's more of a representation of where the organization
Speaker 1: is at, where the ownership is at, and less of
Speaker 1: Otani leaving. So it feels like maybe there were some booze.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear any in seeing him walk up to
Speaker 1: the plate and how he was celebrated, especially in that
Speaker 1: first of bat, but it seemed like everyone was really
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good guy, really well liked
Speaker 1: by everybody who comes in contact with him, and I
Speaker 1: think there's also this element of respect where it's like,
Speaker 1: even if you're still bitter and still pissy about it,
Speaker 1: you do kind of recognize, Yeah, but we're never gonna
Speaker 1: see this again in baseball, Like, this is a special
Speaker 1: player doing special things. So appreciate it while we can.
Speaker 1: And I think that's one thing that baseball fans do.
Speaker 1: They celebrate greatness, and they really do put a premium
Speaker 1: on special feats. And the guys in the middle of
Speaker 1: trying to go fifty to fifty for the first time ever,
Speaker 1: so maybe they're just excited to see that as opposed
Speaker 1: to the awful baseball they watched all year.
Speaker 2: All right, So what did you think of the Angels tribute?
Speaker 1: I mean, it was better than nothing, you know, they
Speaker 1: put together. I did see there was like a little
Speaker 1: bit of a like a montage video that was thrown together.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was played in the ballpark,
Speaker 1: but I did see it. It was on like TikTok or
Speaker 1: someplace like that. It looked more like something you would
Speaker 1: get for a high school yearbook. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: little nickel and Dime if you ask me not maybe
Speaker 1: not so surprising. And then they had a tribute on
Speaker 1: the video board. Some people stood up, you know, gave
Speaker 1: him that standing ovation, celebrated him. I mean, you made
Speaker 1: it seem like he was gonna get nothing. They were
Speaker 1: gonna boom out of the building.
Speaker 2: No, no, I didn't say they were gonna boom out
Speaker 2: of the building. But yesterday, when the Angels were asked,
Speaker 2: they said there was nothing planned. I loved change.
Speaker 1: But you made it seem like they were going to
Speaker 1: be selling decoy dartboards. You know, when when people walked
Speaker 1: into the stadium, like the first eight thousand people that
Speaker 1: walk into the stadium like that. O'll show you the
Speaker 1: difference between the two fan bases. When the Dodgers do
Speaker 1: a bobblehead night, it's the first forty thousand. When the
Speaker 1: Angels do a decoy dartboard night, it's the first eight thousand,
Speaker 1: because they're figuring there's no way in hell eight thousand
Speaker 1: people are showing up here. But they showed up. They
Speaker 1: celebrated him, and you know, he had a triple. They
Speaker 1: had a little bit of hope, and the next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, the guy that people forget was all in
Speaker 1: the conversation for Best Player in Baseball also plays with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and he comes up big in a moment
Speaker 1: where he felt a little bit disrespected by the Angels.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, the Dodgers struggled at the plate.
Speaker 2: The game goes into extra innings. Ron Washington has a
Speaker 2: decision to make, and he said, all right, we're o
Speaker 2: tod he's not beating us. First base is open. We'll
Speaker 2: just walk him there you go. We're not letting him
Speaker 2: beat us, not in this ballpark, not with all these
Speaker 2: Dodger fans here, not letting him pour salt in the wound.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a baseball decision right here and right now.
Speaker 2: We're gonna put him on. All right. Well, you couldn't
Speaker 2: argue sure it was a savage move because every Dodger
Speaker 2: fan in that place wanted to see him hitt in
Speaker 2: that situation. But Ron Washington is a savage. He doesn't care.
Speaker 2: He'll go for it. Yeah, that's true, and he made
Speaker 2: the decision. Okay, Well, now what you've done is you've
Speaker 2: pretty much ticked off Mookie Bets because I don't know
Speaker 2: what time in his career where someone has been walked
Speaker 2: ahead of him, so then you'll get to face him
Speaker 2: an MVP. So he walks up there and goes, okay,
Speaker 2: well that's how you want to play. You have no
Speaker 2: respect for me. You'd rather see me hit than Otani.
Speaker 2: All Right, I'll hit and he did out of the
Speaker 2: park and that was that.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: It could not have gone worse for Ron Washington and
Speaker 2: the Angels in that scenario.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, what really are your options? All right?
Speaker 1: If you pitched O'tani and you know he hits a
Speaker 1: gapper or goes, you know, hits a home run, then
Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, it's how could you
Speaker 1: do this? And knowing the moment, knowing the situation, he
Speaker 1: would have gotten the Dave Roberts treatment. And I think
Speaker 1: that he made the best baseball decision in that moment
Speaker 1: to where he just looked at the percentages, he looked
Speaker 1: at what the situation was and just said, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: going to trust that in this matchup, it makes the
Speaker 1: most sense to go ahead and pitch to Mooki Betts
Speaker 1: as opposed to Otani, which tells you how great Otani is,
Speaker 1: because if the better option is to pitch to Mookie Betts,
Speaker 1: who is a first ballot Hall of Famer who is
Speaker 1: one of the better players in baseball, even though he's
Speaker 1: been up and down this year because of the injury
Speaker 1: and all that, If that's a better option than pitching,
Speaker 1: to show Aotani, that's the type of great play we're
Speaker 1: seeing from Otani, And how great of a player is
Speaker 1: that Mooki's a better option. Like no other place in
Speaker 1: baseball is Like where else in baseball is outside of
Speaker 1: maybe the Yankees this year with Aaron Judge, Like where
Speaker 1: else is Mookie Betts the second best player on a
Speaker 1: lineup like it doesn't exist, and the Dodgers have it,
Speaker 1: Which is why I've been confident this entire time. Look,
Speaker 1: I know last year was last year in the postseason
Speaker 1: with that lineup, those two guys, especially if Mookie's healthy,
Speaker 1: they're going to be fine in the playoffs. You want
Speaker 1: everything thrown in and everybody fired. I get that. That's
Speaker 1: the way you want to play this game, Fred, not me.
Speaker 1: That team's won in the World Series. Exhibit A, b C.
Speaker 1: Go all the way through. Z it all played out
Speaker 1: last night at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we have Mooki talking after the game
Speaker 2: about oh Tony being walked to get to him, and that.
Speaker 3: Doesn't happen often, so I kind of kind of blackout.
Speaker 1: I just knew, uh, you know, they walk show to
Speaker 1: get to me, and I was just like, all right,
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of what you want. But you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately it went well.
Speaker 2: It's kind of what you want. I mean, all right,
Speaker 2: if that's kind of what you want.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like you're going to get it. It's
Speaker 1: like Denzel and training Day, how you want a dog
Speaker 1: close casket? Like, okay, is that we're playing this game.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just awesome, Like to think about this,
Speaker 1: like this lineup and the fact that we're getting these
Speaker 1: three guys down on the stretch and into the postseason
Speaker 1: at the top of the lineup. That's fun.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: That's a really, really good the good way to start
Speaker 1: the game for the Dodgers and apparently a good way
Speaker 1: to end it to based on last night, so.
Speaker 2: You know, extra and they start with a man on
Speaker 2: second base. I know Adam hates that rule. I absolutely
Speaker 2: love it. I think they should put it in the
Speaker 2: playoffs as well. Geez, I think get anything to shake
Speaker 2: it up makes it better.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 5: Fred, You're out of your damn mind. It may be
Speaker 5: a necessity to make games go faster during the regular
Speaker 5: season and to not wear out bullpens in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: You want that gimmick ghost runner on second?
Speaker 1: You think that's a good idea? Do you want? Do
Speaker 1: you want shootouts in hockey after the first five minutes?
Speaker 1: Or do you want overtime hockey in the playoffs?
Speaker 5: Come no, I cred do you like baseball? Because that's
Speaker 5: not Baseball's not baseball? Fred you no, no, no, no, to
Speaker 5: be the purest not like that rule.
Speaker 2: I love that rule. You know how I always thought
Speaker 2: they should end ties.
Speaker 1: How's it?
Speaker 2: And I'm dead serious. Everybody laughed at me. Home run Derby? Okay,
Speaker 2: home run Derby, all right, but that's how home run Derby.
Speaker 5: And make the pictures have to hit?
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1: I mean that would be great.
Speaker 5: Rock and Jock from MTV.
Speaker 1: What are we doing for head?
Speaker 2: I think that would be the best.
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, this sounds like somebody who's had to cover
Speaker 1: enough sporting events to where your thought is not what's
Speaker 1: best for the sport, it's what's going to get me
Speaker 1: out of the stadium, quicker, That's what it sounds.
Speaker 5: Like, AKA, you don't want to watch anymore.
Speaker 2: No, my thought is what's best for me the fan?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: No, you what will be the most exciting thing for
Speaker 2: me the fan?
Speaker 1: And No, your thought is what's going to get this
Speaker 1: live shot done quickest so I can get over to
Speaker 1: uh whatever place has got ribs for seventy five percent off?
Speaker 2: Like, come on, if I knew where that place was,
Speaker 2: I would have gone all the time seventy off. No,
Speaker 2: I really think it's exciting. I like the ghost Runner.
Speaker 2: I think it makes the game more exciting.
Speaker 5: How do you think they handle that when it comes
Speaker 5: to stats? Is that just does the picture get counted
Speaker 5: for that? Or a era? Does the hitter get an
Speaker 5: RBI there when the guy was already on second?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 5: What are we doing? Fred? That stuff is not baseball.
Speaker 5: Baseball is a game of anticipation. That is the point
Speaker 5: of it. If you don't like that, you don't like baseball.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, Adam. Do they still wear
Speaker 2: leather helmets in the NFL?
Speaker 1: Great point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's totally to a safety issue.
Speaker 1: That's a great.
Speaker 5: Parallel, Fred. No, things evolve like equivalency. It's not the
Speaker 5: same thing. It is some rules are better robots calling
Speaker 5: balls and strikes. That would be great. This is different.
Speaker 5: This is not baseball. If you like baseball, why do
Speaker 5: you want less of it?
Speaker 2: Not a question of less of it, it's a question
Speaker 2: it is you want the game over. No, what you
Speaker 2: want in any sport is a sense of urgency. Well,
Speaker 2: that run around second base all of a sudden, there's
Speaker 2: a sense of urgency. It makes it more exciting.
Speaker 5: The runner that didn't earn getting to second.
Speaker 2: Base, yeah he did, he got there. He walked over.
Speaker 1: Big time.
Speaker 5: Fred, he still got there. Man, they are athletes, I
Speaker 5: forgot right.
Speaker 2: So I don't think we need to belabor it because
Speaker 2: I think most people would agree with me that the
Speaker 2: x RA inning rule does work.
Speaker 5: Yes, nobody that wants that in the playoffs read but
Speaker 5: you nobody?
Speaker 2: You know? Of hands? All right? Show a hand? See
Speaker 2: I see three that went up? Immediately? They want it
Speaker 2: like me? They do. I saw a show of hands?
Speaker 2: Or is Vick would say, a show hey of hands? Listen, Adam,
Speaker 2: they're referring to you.
Speaker 5: As well, Fred, Those also don't count, all right? Those
Speaker 5: hands aren't up?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 2: Fine? Uh? Oh, by the way, were you at the
Speaker 2: game last night? Did you experience the Anaheim game last night?
Speaker 2: If you did, you didnt give us a call A
Speaker 2: six seventeen.
Speaker 1: You were asking me like, why the hell would I
Speaker 1: go to that game? You know what it would take
Speaker 1: to get to get from Thousand Oaks to Anaheim.
Speaker 2: They're gonna slept down there? Are you kidding me? No?
Speaker 2: But if you did go, if you went to the game,
Speaker 2: love to hear your experience. What the crowd was like?
Speaker 2: To me, watching seem more Dodger than Angel fans. I
Speaker 2: know the game was sold out. Jonash we talked about
Speaker 2: that yesterday. You know, what would the crowd be like
Speaker 2: forty four and change. I'm seeing I think their biggest
Speaker 2: crowd of the season. Here's what's interesting and show how
Speaker 2: Otani certainly helps in one regard. So the Dodgers four years,
Speaker 2: not the Yankees. The Dodgers were the top road draw
Speaker 2: in baseball. Not the Yankees. The Dodgers, so when the
Speaker 2: Dodgers went into another city, those teams would have their
Speaker 2: highest attendance per game. They were the top road draw
Speaker 2: in baseball. Now you add Otani to that list and
Speaker 2: they are far and away the top road draw. That
Speaker 2: means Cincinnati wants the Dodgers to come in because they'll
Speaker 2: be close to a sellout instead of drawing eighteen thousand,
Speaker 2: and Cincinnati would have drawn close to a sellout even
Speaker 2: without Otani if the Dodgers were in town, because they
Speaker 2: are the top road draw So now Otana used to
Speaker 2: play for the Angels, and when Otani played for the Angels,
Speaker 2: they were the fifth highest drawing team on the road, right,
Speaker 2: so the Dodgers would be ahead of them, the Yankees,
Speaker 2: probably the cub somebody else in the Angels. Otani no
Speaker 2: longer plays for them, and they are the worst drawing
Speaker 2: road team in baseball. So if Pittsburgh draws eight thousand
Speaker 2: a game, when the Angels come to town, they'll draw seven.
Speaker 2: Just the loss of Otani hurt the Angel brand nationally
Speaker 2: because he was the brand, and losing him like they
Speaker 2: did really was devastating, just devastating.
Speaker 1: And it does feel like is well, and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe Patrick O'Neill can touch on this a little more,
Speaker 1: but even sort of the like even sort of like
Speaker 1: the aura of like Mike Trout that's kind of lost it.
Speaker 1: And I know he's been banged up and I get
Speaker 1: all that, but it's almost like that's not even enough
Speaker 1: to really get people to want to get excited about
Speaker 1: the team. And that's another guy who was in the
Speaker 1: conversation for best player in baseball for years and really,
Speaker 1: like it is kind of interesting when you factor it
Speaker 1: in like this, like you could make the argument, depending
Speaker 1: on the season, Mike Trout or Mookie Betts is the
Speaker 1: best player in baseball correct, And both of those players
Speaker 1: have both been overshadowed by show Heyo Tani when he's
Speaker 1: gotten there, which is like wild to think about that.
Speaker 1: He's been on two teams that have had the best
Speaker 1: quote unquote player in the league, and show Heyo Tani
Speaker 1: has just completely overwhelmed all the coverage, all the conversation
Speaker 1: when it comes to those two franchises, and even with
Speaker 1: Mike Trout is just not the same as it was.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that has to do
Speaker 1: with injuries, but there's also a but you once had
Speaker 1: Otani and now what's left over? And what's left over?
Speaker 1: As you've touched on, you know, the lowest road attendance
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really frustrating for him, but you know, they
Speaker 2: did it themselves.
Speaker 1: I have like a quick, fun little game for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are the best road team as far
Speaker 1: as attendance goes in Major League Baseball? Can you name
Speaker 1: the rest of the top five? Like, if you had
Speaker 1: to do? We have any game show music, like impromptu
Speaker 1: game show music we can throw on for this?
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 1: I want to see how good you are at this, Fred,
Speaker 1: because this this feels like something that would be right
Speaker 1: in your wheelhouse. Okay, set up there on a tee.
Speaker 1: We're talking best road attendance in Major League Baseball this year.
Speaker 1: This is the MLB Attendance Report according to ESPN, So
Speaker 1: hopefully we can talk about this without direct TV shutting
Speaker 1: it off. So what was you what would be your guest?
Speaker 1: The top five? After the Dodgers are won? Who do
Speaker 1: you got? Two through five?
Speaker 2: H and no specific order? Yankees they are three, Cobs
Speaker 2: they are twelve. Cubs are twelve? All right? Red Socks.
Speaker 5: No hmmm, um, gotta be Rockies.
Speaker 2: There's gotta be eight.
Speaker 1: What took you so long?
Speaker 5: Sacramento as M.
Speaker 2: I don't have two. I don't even have two nails.
Speaker 1: No, the Yankees are three. There's one team just ahead
Speaker 1: of the Yankees.
Speaker 2: And it wouldn't be your wouldn't be the Cobs.
Speaker 1: No, not all Giants. Well, the Giants are five, which
Speaker 1: surprised me.
Speaker 2: Okay, so now I'm I need two.
Speaker 1: Yes, you've got the Dodgers at one, you got the
Speaker 1: Yankees at three, you got the Giants at five. You
Speaker 1: need two and four. Okay, I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 1: They're both. They're both from the same division in the
Speaker 1: n L.
Speaker 2: Cardinals, no Braves.
Speaker 1: Braves are four, not Mets, No.
Speaker 2: Phillies.
Speaker 1: The Phillies are two. There it is, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: if you just look at it like this, though again
Speaker 1: star power, like the Phillies have studs on that team,
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, another player in the conversation for best player
Speaker 1: in the league. So like, if you just look at
Speaker 1: it on the surface, like traditional fan bases, you go, okay,
Speaker 1: well maybe the Phillies wouldn't You wouldn't think of that,
Speaker 1: And then you think about all the talent they've got
Speaker 1: there the Braves. I think Adam made the point. You
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of Braves fans. They travel well,
Speaker 1: they were on the superstation for years, Like a lot
Speaker 1: of people grew up watching the Braves. Same with the Cubs,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people grew up with WGN watch
Speaker 1: the Cubs, so they've got fan bases, international brands. But
Speaker 1: star power does help. Star power does attract. So if
Speaker 1: you can get Phillies Dodgers in an NLCS, I mean
Speaker 1: tell me people wouldn't be thrilled with that. I mean
Speaker 1: probably a lot more thrilled than if you get the
Speaker 1: diem Backs. No disrespect to your serpientes in an NLCS.
Speaker 2: Again, there you have the whole list. Yes, who's last?
Speaker 2: Give me the last five?
Speaker 1: Oakland Angels are last Angels? Oakland Angels, Royals at twenty nine,
Speaker 1: Mariners at twenty eight, White Sox at twenty seven. I
Speaker 1: can't believe the White Sox aren't thirty one. And then
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians and I almost said the former name,
Speaker 1: which probably would have gotten me fired there at twenty six.
Speaker 1: So Cleveland, Chicago and the Al Seattle, Kansas City, and
Speaker 1: the Angels. That's your bottom five the road attendance in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: But last night the Big A was sold out. All right,
Speaker 2: if you were at the game last night, we want
Speaker 2: you to call and want to hear from you. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. What was
Speaker 2: the experience like? By the way, what team were you
Speaker 2: rooting for? You could have been rooting for the Angels,
Speaker 2: But what was it like to be there in that
Speaker 2: that stadium last night? Eight six six, nine eighty seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy. Now a word from Jacob. If you
Speaker 2: were recently injured in an accident but have not called
Speaker 2: our friend Jacob yet, what are you waiting for? Not
Speaker 2: taking action may cost your money? What does that mean.
Speaker 2: Let's say you were injured in a car accident a
Speaker 2: few months ago. You thought the pain in your back
Speaker 2: would go away, so you never went to see a doctor.
Speaker 2: But now a few months later, it's getting worse each week.
Speaker 2: Here's your problem. Because it's been a few months since
Speaker 2: the accident, much more difficult to prove that your back
Speaker 2: pain was caused by that accident. Therefore, you'll probably have
Speaker 2: to pay for this yourself. Why would you do that?
Speaker 2: Don't put yourself in that situation. If you're injured in
Speaker 2: an accident, called Jacob immediately. He'll get you to the doctor.
Speaker 2: No money out of pocket. You can physically recover and
Speaker 2: not have to pay for it yourself. Consultation's free. You
Speaker 2: can have it face to face, or Jacob's team can
Speaker 2: come to you, or you can go to Jacob's office.
Speaker 2: When you call an attorney, you want one who was respected.
Speaker 2: You call Jacob. He's the real deal. And remember the
Speaker 2: consultation is free. Called Jacob at eight four four to
Speaker 2: twenty four Jacob eight four four twenty four Jacob, or
Speaker 2: visit called Jacob dot com A six six nine eighty
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy. Let's hear it. You were there,
Speaker 2: We want to hear your experience, what it was like.
Speaker 2: Did you encounter any problems? We'll take your calls next.
Speaker 2: Let's go Jonas knots in for Rodney today. All right,
Speaker 2: dodg your fans or angel fans, if you did you
Speaker 2: encounter any problems? Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy. And let's go to Anaheim and start with
Speaker 2: Edgar Edgar, thanks for holding during the break.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 7: Hey, how you doing, sir?
Speaker 2: Doing fine? Edgar? By the way, when you call, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, Edgar, Wait a minute, Wait a minute. When
Speaker 2: you call, we're both great and happy to take your call.
Speaker 1: Oh hold on a second, hold on, don't speak for me.
Speaker 2: How are you? Jonas?
Speaker 1: How you doing, Edgar, I'm great. How are you.
Speaker 7: I'm doing great. I'm just a little nervous to be
Speaker 7: on that here.
Speaker 2: All right, don't be nervous. Just go ahead, Edgar, go ahead.
Speaker 7: But okay, So so last night's game, Okay, so we're
Speaker 7: sitting in the top deck. Incredible when Otani came up,
Speaker 7: like everyone started chanting MVP, MVP, MVP. And you can
Speaker 7: just send the adrenaline, you can. You can just feel
Speaker 7: the emotion of Dodger fans, like I truly believe a
Speaker 7: stadium packed with so many fans and all the adrenaline
Speaker 7: and and you know, everybody loud. I cannot see anyone
Speaker 7: beating the Dodgers. I can just see it. It's too talented.
Speaker 7: On TV. It's totally different than being there when you're
Speaker 7: when you're there, you can just you can just send
Speaker 7: the emotions. They're just they're just better. Like Otani is
Speaker 7: a freaking monster. I thought about clothes. I didn't realizee
Speaker 7: he's that big. I was so freaking big.
Speaker 2: Edgar, Thanks, thanks for calling. That's the thing. But you
Speaker 2: know what, Edgar makes a valid point. That's the thing
Speaker 2: you don't understand if you've never seen him in person.
Speaker 2: He's freaking big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the words of Edgar, Yeah, he's a big dude.
Speaker 2: He's a giant.
Speaker 1: Like you see him next to like some guy like
Speaker 1: example booky bets you see him next to MOOKI bets
Speaker 1: Like wait what, Like he's like he's a big guy.
Speaker 1: And for him to be able to do what he does,
Speaker 1: like at that size, stealing fifty like getting fifty stoolen
Speaker 1: bases in a year, it's like, come on, dude, like
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here? He's a freak show,
Speaker 1: Like we've never seen it before.
Speaker 2: And Edgar made another valid point. I don't think we've
Speaker 2: ever had one of our listeners say this. It's one
Speaker 2: thing to see it on TV. It's quite different to
Speaker 2: be there and feel it and experience it and look
Speaker 2: at those guys and go you can't beat them.
Speaker 1: And now I don't know if this is confirmed as
Speaker 1: a last Night's game, but I know that this happened.
Speaker 1: I think it was a few weeks ago where apparently
Speaker 1: they didn't have any Wi Fi at the stadium, which
Speaker 1: seems a little bit suspect on the reporting there, But
Speaker 1: that isn't a report that came from somebody who sent
Speaker 1: a tweet into us.
Speaker 2: Where an Anaheim or Dodger Stadium, and.
Speaker 1: I'm at a stadium that there was no uh no
Speaker 1: ability to get on Wi Fi. Apparently that's uh I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you know you gotta cut, you gotta save money where
Speaker 1: you gotta save money.
Speaker 2: Well, they had to hire more people because they had
Speaker 2: more fans there last night, so they had to cut somewhere.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point, Like I just got rid
Speaker 1: of the Wi Fi. Like what would have been if
Speaker 1: not the Wi Fi? Maybe the lights like that had
Speaker 1: just gone past a certain point, you know, like you
Speaker 1: get the like the the I know Edison will send
Speaker 1: us notification and be like, hey, so these are peak hours,
Speaker 1: Like whatever you do, don't run the AC during these
Speaker 1: hours because those are peak hours. It's gonna be like
Speaker 1: two times to cost. Like apparently like maybe an Anaheim,
Speaker 1: you know, Artie Moreno's like, all right, listen, we got
Speaker 1: to get this game. I know we're going to extras,
Speaker 1: but can we speed this up, like groove something in
Speaker 1: there for mookie bets so we can get out of here.
Speaker 1: Because I don't want to pay peak hours on electricity
Speaker 1: after like eleven o'clock at night. So maybe there's that.
Speaker 2: Makes sense, like Joe Joe in La Joe, were you there?
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I want to be nice and Fred, you're
Speaker 6: a great sports cast, but sportscasts do not know what
Speaker 6: the hell are talking about when it comes to things
Speaker 6: like you're talking about and Adam was talking about. And
Speaker 6: I agree with Adam one hundred and the one thing
Speaker 6: that they need to change it.
Speaker 2: Hey, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, thank you, Joe.
Speaker 2: We're not talking about that. We're talking about if you
Speaker 2: were at the game last night. Were you at the
Speaker 2: game last night? Joe?
Speaker 6: I told Adam that what.
Speaker 2: Did you tell Adam?
Speaker 6: I told him I agreed with him?
Speaker 2: And then Joe, Joe, stop, stop Joe. I don't care
Speaker 2: if you agreed with Adam. Were you at the game.
Speaker 5: Last night Friday, wasn't there?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: Think about Joe. Joe's gone, Adam, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Joe's done?
Speaker 5: If that guy agreed with Fred's argument, would Joe Adam?
Speaker 1: I would not have talked to him.
Speaker 2: We're talking about people who were at the game last night,
Speaker 2: not Joe talking about extra innings.
Speaker 1: Adam had a ringer, No, Adam look it wasn't a plant.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it was because he told you what he
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about.
Speaker 5: It just turned out he disagreed with you.
Speaker 1: Fred.
Speaker 2: No, thank you for listening. Joe. You can call back
Speaker 2: when we talk about.
Speaker 1: By the way, Fred, can I have your back here?
Speaker 1: I think you know what the hell you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Do you want to go on longer? Go ahead? No,
Speaker 2: that's how we do it.
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you, like I got your back here.
Speaker 2: You know, thank you?
Speaker 1: You go, we go. It's like backdraft.
Speaker 2: Is that horse?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Your bull eye axe?
Speaker 2: All right? Well, thank you? Uh ax. Anyway, if you
Speaker 2: were at the game last night, that's who we're talking
Speaker 2: to now at a six six ninety seven, five seventy. Adam,
Speaker 2: don't do that. Don't do that? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: What was that? Adam?
Speaker 5: It was funny, is what it was. Fred, One bad
Speaker 5: Joe was got to kill you. Oh my goodness. This
Speaker 5: guy was going.
Speaker 1: You should have heard him off the air.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 1: I've never had to dump someone off the air before.
Speaker 1: That's how loud he was. By the way, you know
Speaker 1: the best part about that. This is the problem with
Speaker 1: you sportscasters. You don't know what the hell you're talking.
Speaker 1: You're right, we're weather men pretending to be sports casters.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a sporting event. No, I had no clue,
Speaker 1: that's my fair Like I dared on Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: to point out how weird this situation was between the
Speaker 1: Browns and Deshaun Watson, who I call massage Watson. And
Speaker 1: you should see some of the stuff that I've gotten
Speaker 1: in my inbox. Oh my god, Like if he was white,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be saying this if he would, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're calling homophobic slurs, racial slurs, like I've gotten it
Speaker 1: all all because you dared to have a different opinion, Like, so, Fred,
Speaker 1: how dare you have a different opinion than Joe, because
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to hear about it when he
Speaker 1: calls in. Yeah, it's not the subject.
Speaker 2: And he, by the way, he's more than welcome to
Speaker 2: call in when we discuss that. Now, let's see if
Speaker 2: Craig wants to talk about what we're talking about. Craig,
Speaker 2: thank you for holding go ahead ahead.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Fred, I appreciate you. You're still my hero
Speaker 8: Rogan's heroes. As there was a kid I was at
Speaker 8: the game yesterday. It was probably sixty forty Dodgers, but
Speaker 8: it sounded like ninety ten. The Angel sounds are still
Speaker 8: mad over not being able to retain Otani having bad ownership.
Speaker 8: The only highlight of the game where the Angels was
Speaker 8: the pitcher throwing hundred and five point five miles. For
Speaker 8: other than that, it was all Dodgers. We took over
Speaker 8: that stadium. We made them under ten who their daddy is?
Speaker 8: And that's did fred. I love you guys, keep on rocking.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, thanks crag. We know who their
Speaker 2: daddy is now. By the way, I actually thought that
Speaker 2: pitch was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't believe it, but yeah, sure, what
Speaker 1: do you.
Speaker 2: Mean you'll believe it? Why don't you believe it?
Speaker 1: Because I mean one hundred and five miles an hour? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like okay, like one five point five okay, So when
Speaker 1: somebody throws out one hundred miles an hour, you believe that.
Speaker 1: It's like, like we've have we ever seen? Is that
Speaker 1: the that's the fastest pitch ever recorded? Correct?
Speaker 2: I think the second fastest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're all this. Chapman in twenty sixteen had one
Speaker 5: oh five point seven. This was one oh five point
Speaker 5: five last night yeah, it's on pitch up X. Now
Speaker 5: it's not just like a random speed gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, don't kill my dream here. I refuse to
Speaker 1: believe that, all right. I think I think they're grooving
Speaker 1: it there to try and get people excited. They wanted
Speaker 1: to steer the conversation away from oh yeah, well, so
Speaker 1: what if we lost you know, one of the better
Speaker 1: pitchers in baseball and like the best hitter. We got
Speaker 1: a guy who throws one oh five, oh fucking and
Speaker 1: another ballpark. You know, he's throwing like Greg Maddox. We're
Speaker 1: talking like like high eighties tops.
Speaker 2: Todd Long Beach, were you there last night?
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, it's an honor to talk to the great
Speaker 4: Jonas Knox and and you I guess you too, Fred,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: What you know what? See now you're doing it too.
Speaker 1: I did what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: You're doing it too, Todd. All right, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I was there last night, and I was over the weekend.
Speaker 4: I was in seam both places, I would say, for
Speaker 4: the high high majority of the time they supported Otani.
Speaker 4: Even when he came out warmed up the place went crazy.
Speaker 4: Only a sad, pathetic owner like Artie Moreno could screw
Speaker 4: that up and not allow the stadium to just explode
Speaker 4: welcoming him back. There was nothing Jonas you said earlier,
Speaker 4: was it on TV or not? It was on TV,
Speaker 4: it was not in the stadium. They did nothing for him.
Speaker 4: He's a disaster, even like Todd.
Speaker 2: Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, did you get there at the
Speaker 2: very beginning? Are you sure they did absolutely nothing?
Speaker 6: Brad?
Speaker 4: Are you listening to me?
Speaker 2: I'm listening, But I can't believe you would say it
Speaker 2: was on TV. But they didn't do anything in this story.
Speaker 1: What I saw look like a video package presented on TV.
Speaker 1: I think they just if I'm not mistaken, Todd, they
Speaker 1: just had the like his thank you to show hey Otani,
Speaker 1: welcome back on the scoreboard. Correct.
Speaker 4: All they said was this guy used to work here.
Speaker 4: That's what it sounds.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know, funny.
Speaker 1: What'd you expect?
Speaker 2: It's funny? But were you surprised they didn't do anything? Todd?
Speaker 4: Not surprised, only because anybody's been around here, have been
Speaker 4: a baseball fan fifty years. The Angels are a I
Speaker 4: won't say what they are. They're a disaster. So no surprise,
Speaker 4: no friend.
Speaker 2: All right, surprise, all right there, Todd, this guy used
Speaker 2: to work here. That is pretty funny. You would think
Speaker 2: you would get a little more than that.
Speaker 1: That was pretty fun It was just like from what
Speaker 1: I saw on I think the first person to post
Speaker 1: that I think was vass A and it was just
Speaker 1: on the video board. They just put his credentials up,
Speaker 1: MVP here, Rookie of the Year, you know, silver Slugger,
Speaker 1: like all the other awards that he had gotten, and
Speaker 1: just like a welcome back to Shoeo Tani. And then
Speaker 1: they panned over to the crowd and you saw p
Speaker 1: people standing up and giving him a standing ovation. That
Speaker 1: were all looked to be a lot of Angels fans
Speaker 1: and they were out numbered, but they did show up
Speaker 1: to show respect and show support. And it's just it's
Speaker 1: got to be it's got to be really, really frustrating,
Speaker 1: Like it's got to be really frustrated to be an
Speaker 1: Angels fan right now.
Speaker 5: Not to be somewhat fair to the Angels, I guess
Speaker 5: during the Freeway Series and Spring Training they did a
Speaker 5: video tribute. How should they have to do it again?
Speaker 5: During the REA they.
Speaker 2: Do Adam, yeah, they do spring Training? Who cares?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's like a record, it's like a winner
Speaker 1: or loss. It doesn't count towards the regular season. Whatever
Speaker 1: thing in spring spring training shouldn't count.
Speaker 2: And given the gear he's having, even if they really
Speaker 2: blew it all out in spring training when it didn't matter,
Speaker 2: given the year he's having, they couldn't.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers, what would they care about that? It only
Speaker 5: makes them look worse to celebrate him.
Speaker 2: No, I know, but they should.
Speaker 5: So the Angels should do it again.
Speaker 2: The angel should do it again for their fans.
Speaker 5: There are point more attention to the fact that sho
Speaker 5: Heotani left us.
Speaker 2: Well, you let him leave. And by the way, anybody
Speaker 2: we've got a couple more calls. Did anybody going to
Speaker 2: the team store and still see if they're selling Otani jerseys?
Speaker 1: I hope they are.
Speaker 5: I got a call from someone she didn't want to
Speaker 5: come on air. She tried to get on yesterday. She
Speaker 5: said they have three different sho Hey Otani jerseys that
Speaker 5: are still being sold.
Speaker 1: There at full price or are we looking at a discount?
Speaker 5: It sounded like full price?
Speaker 1: All right, listen, you know what, like they get done
Speaker 1: Like at a certain point you do sort of admire
Speaker 1: the balls on the organization and moreno being able to
Speaker 1: go this direction. I mean, we can't afford Wi Fi
Speaker 1: in the stadium. But you know what, get your ass
Speaker 1: down to the team shop and right past the Mike
Speaker 1: Witz starting lineup action figure, there's sho Heo Tani full
Speaker 1: price jerseys. It's brilliant, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Josh and Pico Rivera. Josh, thank you for holding
Speaker 2: No you were there last night, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was miss you on the challenge. Anyway, I
Speaker 3: was at the game yesterday and I know that I
Speaker 3: have to agree with the other caller. That was about
Speaker 3: six you know, about about sixties forty sixty five, thirty five,
Speaker 3: you know, a numbered by the Dodger fans, and they
Speaker 3: showed a lot of a lot of support for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but when the first time that Otani
Speaker 3: came up, there were some booze I remember there and
Speaker 3: then yeah, there was some booze the first time only
Speaker 3: when he came up there and the Dodger fans quickly
Speaker 3: responded by cheering louder I'll do the Angel fans, but
Speaker 3: that did boo. But it was electrifying to be there.
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to go to Freeway Series, and I
Speaker 3: wasn't disappointed that the Angels had their own up until
Speaker 3: the tenth ending yep, you know, and then locking it
Speaker 3: up in a two two tie all the way down.
Speaker 3: But I would say Angels have a weakness. They got
Speaker 3: to get some bet relief pictures. They really do.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you that, Josh, that's not the only weakness.
Speaker 2: They got to get some better relief pictures. They got
Speaker 2: to get a lot of bed.
Speaker 3: J I think I got a good bit better much.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling, by the way, so like everybody's
Speaker 1: getting it from the callers today.
Speaker 2: Fair, all right, okay, all right, let's do well, let's
Speaker 2: do lou in the OC to wrap it up. Well,
Speaker 2: thanks for holding go ahead.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was there last night. I've been a big
Speaker 9: Dodger fan for years, and i'd say seventy five twenty
Speaker 9: five Dodger fans. The cap of Blues were everywhere. But
Speaker 9: I have to tell you, and you can't tell on
Speaker 9: TV when Mookie hit that ball out on the tent.
Speaker 9: That's one of the largest stadiums I've been in. I've
Speaker 9: been doing a lot of Dodger games, but I'm telling you,
Speaker 9: they just consumed the stadium when he hit it out,
Speaker 9: and you would never thought it was an Angel home game.
Speaker 9: It was unbelievable. So I feel bad for the Angel fans.
Speaker 9: My dad was an Angel fan. I'd like to see
Speaker 9: the Angels be competitive, but just not in the cards
Speaker 9: right now. So you got to feel bad for them, right,
Speaker 9: So Nical, Thanks.
Speaker 2: Lou, appreciate it all right, So look, it was what
Speaker 2: it was. I go at it again tonight.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're worse than the A's.
Speaker 2: In attendance attendant, like.
Speaker 1: Like like record wise, they're worse than the A's and
Speaker 1: the A's didn't even know where they're playing.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, I haven't even looked at that. Is
Speaker 2: that true?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they're like the A's are three and a
Speaker 1: half games better.
Speaker 2: Than the Angels. Yes, well that's that's humiliating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like that that is I didn't even realize that.
Speaker 1: My God, Like I didn't, I you know, didn't even
Speaker 1: think about that until I like we brought up and
Speaker 1: I just kind of took a glance at the Al
Speaker 1: West and I go, oh, God, like they're they're way
Speaker 1: worse than I thought. Like it's just you know, but
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of getting drowned out with the
Speaker 1: fact that the White Sox are so historically bad that
Speaker 1: there's no like that. People aren't even paying attention to
Speaker 1: the fact that there's other awful teams, like the Angels
Speaker 1: are the next team to be eliminated from the playoffs
Speaker 1: that Miami Colorado and the White Sox have already been eliminated,
Speaker 1: the Angels are next on the list. It's terrible, Like
Speaker 1: they're awful, all right.
Speaker 2: We got to talk about that when we come back,
Speaker 2: and you see, my theory will now apply to the
Speaker 2: Angels as well. I have a theory. I've discussed it.
Speaker 2: Everybody seems to think it's a bad idea, but I
Speaker 2: think it's a brilliant idea, and I think fans think
Speaker 2: it's a brilliant idea, and it will apply to the
Speaker 2: Jonas knoxon today. For Rodney, that was a stunning revelation because, like,
Speaker 2: the White Socks are horrific. They're an embarrassment to the game.
Speaker 2: You could call them a laughing stock, but it's so
Speaker 2: sad you can't even laugh.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's uh, like you know, it's real. I mean,
Speaker 1: it really is Chicago's sports though, Like for those that
Speaker 1: aren't familiar, Like, all you've got is hope that the
Speaker 1: Bears are good and Angel Reese and I don't think
Speaker 1: the team I don't even know what they call, like
Speaker 1: the Chicago Like what are they called?
Speaker 2: Like are they the Fire?
Speaker 1: I don't know, the Chicago the Chicago Deep Dish or
Speaker 1: something like that. Whatever they are, whenever they are, they're
Speaker 1: terrible too. So that's it. That's all you got in
Speaker 1: Chicago and Blackhawks. Black Hawks, Yeah, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: very good either.
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. When you look at a White
Speaker 2: Sox and I guess although the Angels aren't as bad,
Speaker 2: they're bad. I have this theory. I've shared it in
Speaker 2: the past, and let me tell you what should happen.
Speaker 2: First of all, anybody that pays ten cents to go
Speaker 2: see the White Sox, you spent ten cents too much, jeez,
Speaker 2: you have wasted your money. Teams have an obligation to
Speaker 2: their fan base to give them a reason to root
Speaker 2: and to cheer, because really, what sports are it's about hope,
Speaker 2: we hope we can win. And you're investing your your
Speaker 2: emotional capital and your money when you go to the ballpark,
Speaker 2: when you support a team. This is the only place
Speaker 2: where if you don't get a return on your investment,
Speaker 2: you continue to invest. So if you root for a
Speaker 2: bad team, that is your emotional currency. If you're rooting
Speaker 2: for a bad team year in and year out, and
Speaker 2: we have to remove the players from the equation because
Speaker 2: if teams are really bad, it's not the players, it's
Speaker 2: the organization. Well, these guys are a bunch of bumps.
Speaker 2: Well they're probably not, and if you put them on
Speaker 2: another team they might be pretty good. But in this group,
Speaker 2: with these people, in this organization, they stink, all right.
Speaker 2: If that doesn't mean they're bad players, that's just the situation,
Speaker 2: the environment. So if you're investing your emotional capital and
Speaker 2: currency into something where you don't get a return on investment,
Speaker 2: you should stop investing. So what does that mean? That
Speaker 2: means if you are an Angel fan, and what Jonah
Speaker 2: said is startling and embarrassing, they're worse than the Oakland A's.
Speaker 2: That's the Mendoza line. Anybody below they're terrible and the
Speaker 2: Oakland A's are the bottom of the barrel. If you're
Speaker 2: worse than the A's, then you are awful, awful. And
Speaker 2: if that's the case, and I said this many times.
Speaker 2: If I'm the White Sox next year, whatever ticket prices
Speaker 2: cost this year are now half price. I don't care
Speaker 2: what seat you bought. If it was one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: to sit behind home plate, those seats are now fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: By the way, you want to hear something even better? Oh,
Speaker 1: this is brilliant. Okay, So the White Socks are at
Speaker 1: the Angels for a three game series starting Monday, September sixteenth.
Speaker 1: All right, you can get into a game, Like how
Speaker 1: how much would you say, lowest ticket to get into
Speaker 1: Angel Stadium for White Sox Angels coming up September sixteenth
Speaker 1: at the Big.
Speaker 2: A seventy five cents?
Speaker 1: Okay, Like what I'm like, be like a real guess
Speaker 1: ten bucks. Try two dollars read two dollars fees included,
Speaker 1: and you can sit in the outfield to watch some
Speaker 1: scintillating bottom four baseball between the Angels and the White
Speaker 1: Sox coming up in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Just that.
Speaker 1: But here's the guy made the point yesterday, and we
Speaker 1: touched on a little bit earlier where you said, you know,
Speaker 1: I like I still like going to the ballpark, Like
Speaker 1: the White Sox are still getting on average a little
Speaker 1: over eighteen thousand fans a game. And I know, compared
Speaker 1: to what the Dodgers do at Dodger Stadium and all that,
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's peanuts. But it's still eighteen thousand
Speaker 1: people on average that are willingly going to a White
Speaker 1: Sox game every time they played home.
Speaker 2: Why But I think.
Speaker 1: It there's just something about people like going to the stadium,
Speaker 1: like they like it's why. Look, Dodger Stadium has always
Speaker 1: been great and people love it, but when you started
Speaker 1: to add different features to it, it took it got
Speaker 1: to another level. The first time I saw what they
Speaker 1: did in the outfield, I was like, okay, like this
Speaker 1: is a different look. And I think stadium and parks
Speaker 1: around baseball it would behoove them to throw some things
Speaker 1: in there because it is more of a family atmosphere
Speaker 1: than it is going to some other place. It's a
Speaker 1: more comfortable watch and I think for a lot of
Speaker 1: people they just look at it as like it's a
Speaker 1: night out, Like you want to go see a movie?
Speaker 1: How much is a movie right now? Like if you
Speaker 1: already go see a move was like thirteen fourteen bucks
Speaker 1: to go see a movie like you go thirteen fourteen
Speaker 1: dollars By the time you get popcorn, a couple of drinks,
Speaker 1: and some snacks. What are you looking at for two
Speaker 1: people in a movie like sixty bucks seventy bucks? Maybe,
Speaker 1: like you can do better than that by taking a
Speaker 1: family for probably to an Angel's White Sox game and
Speaker 1: get in for like a dollar eighty. Like they're like,
Speaker 1: these are dollar tree prices that you can get into
Speaker 1: a baseball game. Why wouldn't you go? I mean, now, parking,
Speaker 1: that's a whole nother discussion. If you can get there
Speaker 1: without having to pay for parking, that works. But I
Speaker 1: think people just like the atmosphere going to the stadium.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I hear you. I disagree.
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, I hear you.
Speaker 2: I disagree. Here's what I think should happen in Chicago now,
Speaker 2: and it's kind of an extension of my philosophy, but
Speaker 2: I'm going to institute it today, White Sox, if you
Speaker 2: bought money the minute we were eliminated in this I
Speaker 2: do believe all tickets go to half price, but this year,
Speaker 2: the minute they were mathematically eliminated, we're refunding everybody every
Speaker 2: cent for the remaining games and we'll open the gates
Speaker 2: and people can come in free and watch this crap.
Speaker 2: Come on in. We're not even charging a dollar. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that's what I would do. Angels the
Speaker 2: minute they're eliminated. The minute they're eliminated.
Speaker 5: Fred there was one I think Arena football team that
Speaker 5: did just that. If we don't make the playoffs, you
Speaker 5: get a refund on the season. I want to say
Speaker 5: it was like the Arizona Rattlers or something like that.
Speaker 1: Is that Antonio Brown's team that he ran into the ground. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're no longer around, but that may have contributed as well.
Speaker 2: They should do it. I mean, I am sick of
Speaker 2: people taking advantage. In Chicago, the owner wants to build
Speaker 2: a brand new stadium and he wants money.
Speaker 1: You're not telling it. You're not taking advantage. Like you
Speaker 1: have options. You don't have to go to the game.
Speaker 2: You can go to Here's why, because psychologically you have
Speaker 2: that that tie to the team. Hey, if you don't
Speaker 2: have any tie of the Angels, how about this. How
Speaker 2: about nobody's an Angel fan and they sell tickets for
Speaker 2: ten bucks apiece anywhere in the stadium. Go out and
Speaker 2: have a night at the ballpark. That's great, but you're
Speaker 2: paying these guys, so you've got to make a living
Speaker 2: and to do that, you have to charge these prices.
Speaker 2: And your no return on your investment is a fan none,
Speaker 2: there's no return. Look, and please don't tell me. I
Speaker 2: go to the ballpark and I love it really really well.
Speaker 2: If you go to the ballpark just to go, that's
Speaker 2: one thing. If you go to the ballpark as a
Speaker 2: fan of the team, then you're being mislead.
Speaker 1: You're you're not a fan of waterfalls. I love waterfalls, Okay,
Speaker 1: Like they've got one in the outfield, Like you're not
Speaker 1: a fan of you know, let me all right, you're
Speaker 1: not a fan of this stuff? I mean you mean
Speaker 1: to tell me, like what about like everything's all bigger
Speaker 1: is better, you know what? Like that that trend that
Speaker 1: was going on where people were in the big baseball hats. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Angels invented that. They got two of them outside
Speaker 1: the stadium when you walk in. Okay, Like they're innovators.
Speaker 1: They've got a waterfall. And if you're big into freeways
Speaker 1: as a backdrop, they got that too. What is it
Speaker 1: like the fifty seven or whatever's behind. Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 1: they got the fifty seven. So if you're a big
Speaker 1: fan of the fifty seven freeway, you can see that
Speaker 1: as well too. Like, they're a worse situation, and I
Speaker 1: got news for you. I'd rather go to a baseball
Speaker 1: game and watch bad baseball then go to some crummy
Speaker 1: movie where people are overacting and I got to deal
Speaker 1: with a bunch of zeros that stand up and clap
Speaker 1: when they roll the credits at the end. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with that. Just send me out
Speaker 1: to a ball game. I want a beer, I want
Speaker 1: a dog. I want some bad baseball. And if you
Speaker 1: don't like the results, just start gambling with somebody next
Speaker 1: to you. Until California legalizes the sports betting, you got options, and.
Speaker 2: If that's the case, make every ticket twenty five bucks.
Speaker 2: And if I want to see a waterfall, I go
Speaker 2: to Niagara Falls. I'm not going to end, so do it.
Speaker 1: Like the bleachers for the Dodgers back in the day,
Speaker 1: thirty dollars all you can eat? Is that what it was?
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they're also all you could drink at one
Speaker 2: point and that quickly changed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they realized, oh I think that one ended pretty fast.
Speaker 1: A yeah, they said, oh boy, this is not going
Speaker 1: well for us here.
Speaker 2: They tried. I'll give them that. You don't agree with
Speaker 2: me that the minute you're eliminade now all ticket should
Speaker 2: be cut.
Speaker 1: It's not my problem, it's I'm sorry. It's like people
Speaker 1: that ask for their money back when they go see
Speaker 1: a movie. Like the people that ask for their money
Speaker 1: back and say, well, you know, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: Like when when Floyd Mayweather Manipaccio had their fight, there
Speaker 1: are people that wanted their money back. They like took
Speaker 1: it to court because they got charged one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for the fight. And then afterwards it turned out that
Speaker 1: Manipaccio had a shoulder injury like tours rotator cuff and
Speaker 1: you know, like numbed it up the best he could
Speaker 1: and then by the time the fourth round came around,
Speaker 1: he had nothing left. And people found that out were like, well,
Speaker 1: I want my money back. It's like, well, hold on
Speaker 1: a second, Like that's not how this works. Like you
Speaker 1: pay for something, there's no guarantees you're going to get
Speaker 1: the result. You like, you pay for it to your
Speaker 1: point for hope, and you hope that you're going to
Speaker 1: get a good entertaining event, and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you're looking at what's happening in the event, you go,
Speaker 1: I don't like the results. I want to go get
Speaker 1: my money back, like kiss my ass. I'm sorry. This
Speaker 1: is what happens. You get what you pay for, all right,
Speaker 1: and maybe the result isn't what you like, but go
Speaker 1: out and find something to enjoy. The problem is you
Speaker 1: swim in the negative waters too much. And all I'm
Speaker 1: doing is out there playing Marco Polo with like six
Speaker 1: or seven Angels fans, Kevin Figures being one of them,
Speaker 1: and little Allie as we're in the fountain looking at
Speaker 1: the fifty seven, going you know what, forget about the
Speaker 1: fact that they're worse in the a's just take this
Speaker 1: all in right up until Monster Jam returns.
Speaker 2: You know, I think you could just kind of could
Speaker 2: tell a boulevard and look at the five. If you're
Speaker 2: into freeways, you wouldn't even have to spend money to do.
Speaker 1: By the way, an Angel game is a lot cheaper
Speaker 1: than Disneyland. If anybody who's ever been recently, Oh did
Speaker 1: you hear the story about
