Speaker 1: Well, it's good you work together and you know a
Speaker 1: story about yourself.
Speaker 4: So this story about my underwear that she likes to tell,
Speaker 4: I'll jump out in front of this train before it
Speaker 4: hits me.
Speaker 6: The uh.
Speaker 4: There was a sales meeting one time and in this building,
Speaker 4: and we knew we were going to be in this
Speaker 4: meeting and we were you know, you know how it
Speaker 4: is to talk to salespeople about you know, this is
Speaker 4: our show, this is what we talk about, this is
Speaker 4: the kind of fun we have, this is how we
Speaker 4: kind of stuff we should do. And you know, traditionally
Speaker 4: news talk stations they kind of put us in a
Speaker 4: corner and they suggest we're not good for certain clients
Speaker 4: or certain products, whatever it is.
Speaker 3: These salespeople also don't listen to the show there still
Speaker 3: know that we laugh about stuff all the time, that
Speaker 3: we joke around all the time, so.
Speaker 2: They think we're like serious newspeople when we go in there.
Speaker 4: I hear our friends on the Woody Show on All
Speaker 4: ninety eighty seven do an ad for an underwear company,
Speaker 4: one of those stylists, you know, boxer brief kind of
Speaker 4: underwear companies, and I have a pair or a couple
Speaker 4: pairs of that brand, and I say to myself, this
Speaker 4: would be a great opportunity for us to you know,
Speaker 4: introduce ourselves to these salespeople and go, hey, we're available
Speaker 4: for that kind of stuff too, Like, we would totally
Speaker 4: do that. So what I did was I absconded a
Speaker 4: clean pair of those underpants to work that day, and
Speaker 4: I just tucked them in my waistband behind me and
Speaker 4: pretended to essentially rip off my own underwear in the
Speaker 4: middle of this sales meeting and go, see, I have
Speaker 4: that same brand of underwear. We should be doing commercials
Speaker 4: for them as.
Speaker 2: Well, you guys.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, she's gonna tell it. I
Speaker 4: will say that I've died on stage before. It never
Speaker 4: felt like that.
Speaker 2: Est death I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: It was pretty.
Speaker 1: What to do?
Speaker 2: I like watching you bleed out.
Speaker 5: And I do.
Speaker 1: She didn't like. I like the preparation though, G behind it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here it comes was you.
Speaker 1: The execution was bad.
Speaker 4: The execution I still, I still stand by it. I
Speaker 4: feel like I should have somehow prepared the room.
Speaker 2: For at The underwear was used.
Speaker 4: Okay, it sound like it. That's the way they came.
Speaker 1: About. The underwear was used. What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3: I mean it was clean, I guess, but I don't
Speaker 3: know how to get that close to it, ronny, But
Speaker 3: like it was faded.
Speaker 4: It was like a blue.
Speaker 1: But it was like a.
Speaker 2: Faded blue to where it's been used maybe for a while.
Speaker 4: That was the color.
Speaker 2: That was the way everything, y'all?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Is that you know this? When you get your boxer
Speaker 3: briefs out of the dryer, they look small. They look
Speaker 3: like he whipped down a pair of Ues.
Speaker 2: Boys underwear, meaning a bunch of strangers.
Speaker 1: Don't even think you're funny.
Speaker 4: Now, I being the optimist, I hear that, and I
Speaker 4: say thank you for acknowledging my small waist size. Okay, good, Yes,
Speaker 4: I'll put a positive spin on it. Yeah yeah. And
Speaker 4: I was great guy, and I challenged you to do
Speaker 4: the same thing and you refuse.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm willing to go to bat for the show.
Speaker 4: And you're now are you are?
Speaker 1: You are?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I should be more dedicated.
Speaker 1: And what came from that?
Speaker 2: Nothing?
Speaker 4: Zilch Fred, Fred and Rodney.
Speaker 2: I have to tell you, except for me hitting him
Speaker 2: over the head with this story for ten.
Speaker 4: Years, do not a fall for that trap of pulling
Speaker 4: your underwear out in the sales meeting.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, no, they won't work you talked about in

Speaker 1: done it here.
Speaker 2: No, Shannon, that's right.
Speaker 1: What's the weirdest thing or the most bizarre thing you
Speaker 1: guys have been asked to endorse on your show? Uh?
Speaker 3: I thought, well this, I guess now that I'm older,
Speaker 3: it's not so weird. But when I was like thirty,
Speaker 3: they wanted me to do Verico's veins. Now I get it,
Speaker 3: but that.
Speaker 4: Was that would have been pre empty programming at that point.
Speaker 4: For them to I don't want my legs to look
Speaker 4: like reins.
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, it's for us, like what look
Speaker 1: your Fred and I had been doing this, this, this
Speaker 1: show for whatn't Yeah yeah yeah, So technically in my
Speaker 1: forties and and and they came to us early on,
Speaker 1: and I think in the first year wanted to do
Speaker 1: it a rectile boner.
Speaker 2: I've heard you guys we gluechoo.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, we did bluecho.
Speaker 2: But like and Money were doing blue ch you when
Speaker 2: they were like thirty.
Speaker 1: Two, you know, yeah, yeah, well that's those guys.
Speaker 2: We're kind of horse you know what I mean. We'll
Speaker 2: sell a lot of stuff around here.
Speaker 1: You know. The thing is, they say what would you sell?
Speaker 1: And I I you know, I said I would sell
Speaker 1: a medication for menopause problems, and they go, what do
Speaker 1: you mean?
Speaker 2: Exactly my point?
Speaker 1: You would do that? And I said, of course. They said, listen,
Speaker 1: we have somebody wants to do a clinical trial here
Speaker 1: and it's for diabetes, and it's a pill. Do you
Speaker 1: have diabetes? And I tell everybody, I've said to the
Speaker 1: people nobody, I'll take the pill, And they go, why
Speaker 1: would you take the pill to make sure I don't
Speaker 1: have it?
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll sell preventive care. Yeah, I will sell I
Speaker 3: don't think that's how diabetes works. I know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's like whatever, whatever, Hey, have you
Speaker 1: ever done this? I will if you need me to,
Speaker 1: I will sell anything you need me to. We have
Speaker 1: He's that's just saying that he would. Well, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. Yeah, unfortunate that way.
Speaker 3: Well, and then Fred had somebody that was doing uh
Speaker 3: some sales with him that she had a big crush on.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: You know, we don't have to name name.
Speaker 1: There's been.
Speaker 2: There's been more than one who.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: And then it gets a little dicey because you don't
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 4: Be nice, but you want to be nice, but you
Speaker 4: don't want to show too much. Favorite to show the
Speaker 4: graphic underwear, which.
Speaker 1: I don't wear, so thank you for pointing that out.
Speaker 4: No, it was I don't want to shore the plane
Speaker 4: underwear either, or the.
Speaker 2: Ones with the stripes.
Speaker 1: No, no, Ronnie said Nancy. By the cant.
Speaker 2: Get the women straight.
Speaker 1: Is she still here? No, No, she's not.
Speaker 2: She was she was I miss her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was urged to find future endeavors or whatever
Speaker 4: they say when they do that to people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nancy, she really did.
Speaker 2: She knew everyone's bathroom time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: I mean, she knew how long you were in there.
Speaker 4: She would she would when our office was closer to
Speaker 4: the bathroom, she and Shannon would go in there. She'd
Speaker 4: come around the corner to the doorway and just kind
Speaker 4: of lean in and go. I think she's been in
Speaker 4: there for four minutes. Now, that's longer than usual.
Speaker 1: The thing about Nancy, and because of where she was
Speaker 1: moved over there by the bathroom, if you walked by,
Speaker 1: and this is true, I'd walk by and Nancy would
Speaker 1: start talking. By the way, she lived around the corner
Speaker 1: from me. She used to walk in front of my
Speaker 1: house and she'd ride.
Speaker 4: She just walked by your house. She'd park around the
Speaker 4: corner and walk by your house.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'd walk by and Nancy would start a conversation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she tell you about her grandson, she'd tell you about
Speaker 1: her life, and she'd start talking. So, I mean she
Speaker 1: would continue talking because she a lot to say. But
Speaker 1: you have to go to the bathroom, right, so you
Speaker 1: know you can't give it the oh okay Nancy, and
Speaker 1: you go into the bathroom. The weirdest thing is when
Speaker 1: you came out, she hadn't stopped talking. She's still the
Speaker 1: conversation continued going, and when you walked up, she was
Speaker 1: in the midst of the conversation. As if you would
Speaker 1: never left, right, she just kept talking.
Speaker 6: What a light?
Speaker 1: What a light? Yeah? The beauty though you got to
Speaker 1: figure it out. Is when you wait for somebody else
Speaker 1: to get by Nancy, So she starts talking, I would
Speaker 1: go around the other way.
Speaker 2: You did that way, two ways to get to the bathroom,
Speaker 2: Rodney a couple of times.
Speaker 4: Well she did, she did.
Speaker 2: There was something else to play there.
Speaker 1: There was something going on.
Speaker 2: Yet it feels a little protective. There was a time
Speaker 2: then let me to the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Make sunder those as violent secrets that happened between the
Speaker 4: two of them, secrets I look out for Rodney.
Speaker 1: I will not confirm or deny, but I will confirm that.
Speaker 4: If you ever need to talk, you just let us know.
Speaker 1: You'll be there for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Why are you wearing a San Francisco Giant July hat?
Speaker 1: This is what? No, wait a minute, I told this
Speaker 1: earlier on there. I said, you guys are going to
Speaker 1: come in. I'd seen you this morning. A You're wearing
Speaker 1: a San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Giants I'm a Giants guy. Let me ask you this question, because.
Speaker 1: I said, Fred, Fred, don't don't get it twisted. I mean,
Speaker 1: Gary's a Giants guy. Shannon's a forty nine or know that.
Speaker 1: So it's not like put it all on Gary because yeah,
Speaker 1: but she's not Joe Montana over her heart today. Well,
Speaker 1: it's because it's because it ain't football season.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: It's the dark days, very the dark days.
Speaker 4: But let me ask you this, because I get this
Speaker 4: a lot in LA, being a Giants fan, grew up
Speaker 4: in northern California, that that was my team always will be.
Speaker 4: Would you rather me give up the team that I
Speaker 4: grew up with? Because in my heart, in my mind
Speaker 4: sports fandom, when you when you grow up with a
Speaker 4: team that should remain your team wherever you are, and
Speaker 4: the idea that you would give up you would give
Speaker 4: up simply because you moved it burns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have some We have somebody who's a dear
Speaker 3: friend down the hall, used to work here, born and
Speaker 3: raised in Modesto, Niner fan of his whole life, moved
Speaker 3: down here and decided to pick.
Speaker 2: An LA team and pick the Rams. What the hell
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 1: Who are you?
Speaker 2: Maybe question everything about our friendship.
Speaker 3: You can't just see change your football team and your
Speaker 3: allegiance because you change where you live.
Speaker 2: Fred, that means you have no soul and.
Speaker 4: You can't have Rodney.
Speaker 3: You hung me out to dry when I protected you
Speaker 3: all those times from Nancy by the can you hung
Speaker 3: me out with my forty nine er fandom?
Speaker 2: Why can't you protect you?
Speaker 1: You know what, It's okay, you've made a mistake. It's okay.
Speaker 1: It's that you will. You a whole rant about protecting
Speaker 1: where you're from and loving where you're from and loving
Speaker 1: your loyalties from me with your childhood. And now you're
Speaker 1: mad at me saying that you're a forty nine er fan.
Speaker 3: I just feel like there should be a little bit
Speaker 3: more reverence for our friendship. All those times I protected
Speaker 3: you from Nancy and and and then there was it
Speaker 3: hold on. But by protecting, are you like secret service?
Speaker 4: Like you jumped in the way and took the grope
Speaker 4: when it was meant for Rodney something like that, you
Speaker 4: took the bullet?
Speaker 1: All right? Hey that makes sense. Gee gee, yep, you're
Speaker 1: not far off. You're not far off.
Speaker 4: I would watch that movie. I would watch that movie,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 3: So, so.
Speaker 1: How's your show going, guys? I mean, what's going on
Speaker 1: of CAPI I don't know any Moore. I tried to
Speaker 1: get out of that thing.
Speaker 4: All I know is every four hours we walk into
Speaker 4: a room and they we talked to each other for
Speaker 4: four hours and then we'd go away.
Speaker 2: This will be ten years in October. You guys have
Speaker 2: been ten years too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we have been. Wow. I was talking
Speaker 1: to Kevin about that this morning. Yeah, yeah, incredible lies.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing. You guys have aged much
Speaker 1: better than we have years.
Speaker 2: You guys haven't at all.
Speaker 4: See are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 2: Hair better now, Fred?
Speaker 1: Do you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a cut. No, the go tea
Speaker 1: in the goatee is great. We convinced him to go
Speaker 1: to you was working three years ago. It is, it is.
Speaker 1: That's why I kept it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was
Speaker 1: a learning curve associated with it.
Speaker 4: What's the learning?
Speaker 1: What you first? I didn't know how you were supposed
Speaker 1: to trim it or cut it.
Speaker 4: I do like that you haven't flared out at the
Speaker 4: sides as supposed to going straight down. Usually guys, when
Speaker 4: they make the mistake of doing the mustache, straight down
Speaker 4: and then a straight ninety degree angle, pow right down
Speaker 4: the thing. No, no, off and out a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're talking about the grooming of a goat, especially out
Speaker 1: in the desert.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: If you get out and yeah, with that thing.
Speaker 2: How do you even you couldn't walk down the street,
Speaker 2: down the street.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: The funny thing, especially when you start doing those menopause ads.
Speaker 3: Oh you have no idea, Oh my goodness out there,
Speaker 3: it's really funny because.
Speaker 1: You're at a highlighted Fred, you had a highlight it.
Speaker 1: Since you're in the desert, you know, there're you know,
Speaker 1: for a certain population to say a certain level. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: highlighted a little bit at the time of time.
Speaker 2: I like the gray.
Speaker 1: I like the gray.
Speaker 5: Yea.
Speaker 1: So many people out there are from LA so you know,
Speaker 1: and obviously they have watched they watched Channel four for
Speaker 1: years and years here. Yeah, but it's very different if
Speaker 1: we're here and people come up at Dodger Stadium or
Speaker 1: something with a radio show. I'm sure it's the same
Speaker 1: thing with Rodney. Hey, Rodney, what's going on? Take a
Speaker 1: quick picture, smile, you talk twenty seconds, and you move
Speaker 1: on there. Because they have watched for so many years,
Speaker 1: it's like they know you. Yeah, so when they come up,
Speaker 1: they just don't go hey, it's like they start grabbing you.
Speaker 2: I did that to you. Do you remember that I
Speaker 2: did that to you?
Speaker 1: Now? Will you?
Speaker 3: I saw you at Dodger Stadium, and I said, Fred Rogan,
Speaker 3: and I gave you a hug because I felt like
Speaker 3: I knew you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, these people actually think like they know me.
Speaker 1: And I've lived them for years.
Speaker 4: That's the same thing for all of us.
Speaker 1: In their house.
Speaker 4: You've shared dinners with them.
Speaker 2: That's very intimate.
Speaker 3: When you have people on your television, you know, either
Speaker 3: getting ready, they're in states of undress and there you are.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't want to take you, but you know
Speaker 1: they're in states of undress. But you know Fred is

Speaker 1: world now he is in the How do I put this? Fred,
Speaker 1: You're not an investigative reporter, but you are a disruptor.
Speaker 1: That's fair. He's a disruptor in Palm.
Speaker 3: Be careful, you got because people, you know, you can't
Speaker 3: cause health concerns out there.
Speaker 1: No that I don't cause.
Speaker 2: Also that I've heard the hospitals.
Speaker 3: Out there are no good, So you got to be careful.
Speaker 3: You're going to send these people to these hospitals are
Speaker 3: no good.
Speaker 1: Fred calls out crooks, and he and he and he
Speaker 1: takes them to task. Really, he'll go to town halls
Speaker 1: and he'll call him out, and he'll call Mebby. I
Speaker 1: might add. I might add that Gary and Shannon are
Speaker 1: the voices on the show. You're the voices of all
Speaker 1: of our rejoins at all, Bumpers.
Speaker 4: And I do want to thank you. By the way,
Speaker 4: I remember that the residual checks that I get from
Speaker 4: that every single week.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you spectacular good Gary, get paid for that.
Speaker 1: Things changed here in the mailboxes. Move go to the
Speaker 1: old mail room.
Speaker 4: Okay, where our key card doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 1: Go right there, Okay, all right, thank you guys for
Speaker 1: hanging out. Thank you guys, Thank you, Love you guys.
Speaker 1: Next we go to Phoenix and joined David Vasse, come out,
Speaker 1: come on right back to you on a Friday short show.
Speaker 1: Today only two hours for us. We're off at two.
Speaker 1: Petro sent money after us Dodgers Diamondbacks later today Rodney
Speaker 1: p Fred Rogan, come on, all right, let's go to
Speaker 1: Phoenix and welcome in David Vass. Dave, how are you.
Speaker 6: Doing great? The Dodgers are nearing the end of the
Speaker 6: longest road trip of the season, ten games and ten days,
Speaker 6: and certainly looking to at least get a split here
Speaker 6: in Arizona before they head home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a split, Dave is very I mean at this
Speaker 1: point in the season. Fred talked about this earlier that
Speaker 1: it's May. Does it really matter? Do you think it
Speaker 1: matters in May? This series with the Diamondbacks. I mean,
Speaker 1: they got four games with them and hopefully they can
Speaker 1: get a split. But if the Diamondbacks go three to
Speaker 1: one or sweep them, does that affect anything that happens
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers going forward? Not really.
Speaker 6: They have the best record in baseball. They're twenty five
Speaker 6: and thirteen, So you know, at this point in time,
Speaker 6: it's the first time the Diamondbacks have seen a team
Speaker 6: in the NL West, first time these two teams have
Speaker 6: faced each other. But by the way these two teams
Speaker 6: have lined up their starting pitching, it would indicate that
Speaker 6: it does matter. Because the Dodgers, instead of giving Tony
Speaker 6: Gonsolin extra day arrest, they have him pitch on Sunday.
Speaker 6: The Diamondbacks pushback Corbyn Burns from this past Monday to
Speaker 6: pitch tomorrow. They got Zach Gallan going in the final
Speaker 6: game of this series. So the way these two teams
Speaker 6: have lined up their pitching, it certainly would indicate it matters.
Speaker 1: Hey Dave, James Outman, I said earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: this is critical for him, this call up his performance.
Speaker 1: Does he really have to show he belongs in the
Speaker 1: majors this go round?
Speaker 6: I think he has to show that he can contribute
Speaker 6: to the Dodgers because I'm sure James Outman could play
Speaker 6: in the major leagues for twenty nine other teams. But
Speaker 6: if he wants to remain a Dodger, yes, this period
Speaker 6: of time is critical to show that he can be
Speaker 6: part of a championship team. It's one thing to start
Speaker 6: for the Pirates or Marlins. He certainly could do that,
Speaker 6: but to be on the Dodgers is something different in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five. So if he wants to stand the organization, yeah,
Speaker 6: he has to show out.
Speaker 1: Hey Dave, A lot of excitement around, hasan Kim coming up,
Speaker 1: his ability to run the bases, his speed. Then he
Speaker 1: got a couple of hits, which was the big concerns
Speaker 1: him at the plate. Is he a guy that do
Speaker 1: you think stays now and they try to work him
Speaker 1: in or is when guys get back healthy, he goes
Speaker 1: back down.
Speaker 6: He's staying for the time being, especially with the entreated
Speaker 6: Taoscar Hernandez. It kind of moves the chain a little
Speaker 6: bit on having him make a decision about what the
Speaker 6: Dodgers would do with Kim, even if they were to
Speaker 6: decide to send him down. When Taoscar Hernandez returns and
Speaker 6: tom Y Edmond returns, you've found a weapon now that
Speaker 6: the Dodgers did not have during their run to the
Speaker 6: World Series. So, you know, I feel like he's going
Speaker 6: to play a big part down the stretch for the
Speaker 6: Dodgers just because of the dynamic of speed that they
Speaker 6: haven't had.
Speaker 1: And Dave, what about Michael Confordo. You know he has struggled,
Speaker 1: and it's not from lack of effort. What did the
Speaker 1: Dodgers think is going on?
Speaker 6: I to me, it feels like it's bled into the
Speaker 6: mental part of it. From my understanding, the Dodger hitting
Speaker 6: coaches really haven't been able to figure out what is
Speaker 6: going on with Michael Confordo. Last night was encouraging. Though
Speaker 6: he hit the ball hard twice, a couple of really
Speaker 6: good defensive plays robbed him of what would have been
Speaker 6: a two hit night last night. Obviously everybody's going to
Speaker 6: focus on him hitting into another double play. It killed
Speaker 6: the Dodgers rally in the eighth inning. But we'll see,
Speaker 6: you know, with the left hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the
Speaker 6: mount tonight, I would imagine this is a good opportunity
Speaker 6: for Dave Roberts to give Conforto a start off and
Speaker 6: start Chris Taylor and Latiela. That's that's my guess, Dave.
Speaker 1: So far. I mean, we've given all the injuries that
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have gone through, and it feels like, and
Speaker 1: I know we're close to it, feels like they've had
Speaker 1: much more than any other team in Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: but there's still a top the division. Are Are there
Speaker 1: any concerns, like from you because you're around them all
Speaker 1: the time, any concerns that you have with this team
Speaker 1: as they you know, headed to the summer and for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, the biggest concern right now is the fact
Speaker 6: that they're leaning on their bullpen more than ever. They've
Speaker 6: pitched more innings than their starters. The Dodger bullpen has
Speaker 6: thrown more innings than any other bullpen in baseball Dave
Speaker 6: Roberts has said this a couple of times on this
Speaker 6: road trip when asked about it, that it's not sustainable.
Speaker 6: They've got to get longer, deeper starts from their starting
Speaker 6: pitching to try to ease the burden on that bullpen,
Speaker 6: and the Dodgers are really good at interchanging pieces. But
Speaker 6: still it's never great when you see your bullpen on
Speaker 6: May whatever, May eighth leading the league and innings pitched
Speaker 6: if you're the Dodgers. That's for teams that are not
Speaker 6: very good, not for a team that has the best
Speaker 6: record in baseball. But I will say this, you have
Speaker 6: to also acknowledge the fact that Tyler Glasnow had three
Speaker 6: starts that were abbreviated for different reasons and that contributed
Speaker 6: to the huge bulk of the bullpen burden. But nonetheless
Speaker 6: they still threw those innings.
Speaker 1: Well, that being said, it's good news that Clayton kersha
Speaker 1: I'll be back soon, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he should be back a week from Sunday.
Speaker 6: He's eligible to be activated off the sixty day IL
Speaker 6: a week from tomorrow, and he's going to make one
Speaker 6: more start for Oklahoma City that will be on Sunday,
Speaker 6: and from there he will pitch against the Angels next weekend.
Speaker 1: And and Blake Snell when do we know he's coming back?
Speaker 3: Day?
Speaker 1: Do we know?
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm glad you asked Rodney Snell. Zilla's going to
Speaker 6: join us on the pregame show tomorrow and he is
Speaker 6: going to start his throwing program this weekend. So I
Speaker 6: would assume, you know, with him starting his throwing program
Speaker 6: now after having a quarterzone injection, you probably will see
Speaker 6: Snowzilla pick up the baseball in a major league game
Speaker 6: in the month of June.
Speaker 1: Dave, how do they assess where Ki is?
Speaker 6: Well, he won his first major league game last time
Speaker 6: out in Atlanta. It's going to be a big challenge
Speaker 6: for him tonight. Not only the Diamondbacks a very good
Speaker 6: hitting team, but also they're very aggressive on the basis
Speaker 6: and that's been problematic for Roki controlling the running games.
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be interesting tonight to see how that
Speaker 6: dynamic plays out. But he seems to getting he seems
Speaker 6: to be getting better each and every start, and he's
Speaker 6: going deeper into games. So when you pitch once a week,
Speaker 6: like we talked about, it kind of lends itself to
Speaker 6: you getting to the sixth in and considering that you're
Speaker 6: only pitching once a week, I feel like that's a
Speaker 6: fair demand.
Speaker 1: Hey, Dave, it's been there's been a lot of talk
Speaker 1: lately about Freddie Freeman kind of agreeing with taking some
Speaker 1: time off. How do you how have you felt it's
Speaker 1: sat with him because he's been the iron man, you know,
Speaker 1: for most of his career. But getting him to kind
Speaker 1: of welcome, let me take some time off so I
Speaker 1: can be fresh throughout the whole season. How is that
Speaker 1: sat with him?
Speaker 6: Well, he hasn't done it, Rodney. The Dodgers were kicking
Speaker 6: around the idea of him taking a day off the
Speaker 6: last day Miami, but because he's swinging the bat so well,
Speaker 6: he's riding a thirteen game hitting streak, I'm sure he
Speaker 6: told Dave Roberts, I'm not sitting. What I will say
Speaker 6: similar to you know, the NBA and when there's a blowout,
Speaker 6: the Stars sit out the fourth quarter. The Dodgers have
Speaker 6: had that luxury of playing the Marlins six times in
Speaker 6: the last week, and they've blown them out virtually every game,
Speaker 6: and they've been able to get Freddie Freeman out of
Speaker 6: the game early. So that's the way Dave Roberts has
Speaker 6: managed it during this stretch of time.
Speaker 1: All right, So you have Blake Snell on the pregame
Speaker 1: showed tomorrow. Dave, who do you have tonight?
Speaker 6: Freddie Freeman? Freddy Freeman's going to join us ahead of
Speaker 6: Mother's Day?
Speaker 1: Wow, you got the big ones always, Dave, you got
Speaker 1: the big guests. All right, Well, thanks for jumping on,
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this, really appreciate it.

Speaker 6: Thanks thanks guys.

Speaker 1: Well done. Okay, So the Dodgers try to get right
Speaker 1: tonight in Phoenix, Rodney against the Diamondbacks. I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki's a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 5: He is.
Speaker 1: He is. I want to see him continue. I want
Speaker 1: to see them keep trotting him out there, and I
Speaker 1: think he's a young arm that they need to let go.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they let him go, even though they
Speaker 1: got a little shaky, but they let him go to
Speaker 1: get his first win, which is you got to get
Speaker 1: through five innings and they did that. So I'm I'm
Speaker 1: glad that they're they're trotting him out there on a
Speaker 1: regular basis and letting him go through these growing pains
Speaker 1: because he's got to learn how to pitch in the
Speaker 1: big leagues, and when we come to September October, he's
Speaker 1: got to be battle tested. And some of these early,
Speaker 1: these early months that he's got to pitch, he's got
Speaker 1: to learn. Mean that one hundred mile an hour. Everybody
Speaker 1: can hit that if you throw it down the middle.
Speaker 1: You know, how do you position your pitches? How do
Speaker 1: you place your pitches, how do you be strategic in
Speaker 1: what you're throwing, how do you set up a hitter?
Speaker 1: Those are the things he's got to learn, because before
Speaker 1: he could throw that by anybody, he was dominant and
Speaker 1: all of his stuff was dominant. But he's facing major
Speaker 1: league hitters right now that know how to analyze a
Speaker 1: pitcher and hit a pitcher. So he's got to become
Speaker 1: a pitcher, not a thrower, as you you know, you've
Speaker 1: said in the best and so I think they got
Speaker 1: to keep drotting him out there and hopefully he stays
Speaker 1: healthy because come September October, I think he's going to
Speaker 1: learn from this and be phenomenal going forward. I think
Speaker 1: he's a stud I think he's so much fun to
Speaker 1: watch pitch because right now it's a bit of an adventure,
Speaker 1: it really is. But you can. Yeah, the raw talent
Speaker 1: is off the charts. Look at Yamamoto last year. Look
Speaker 1: at Yamamoto last year. He had to learn to pitch.
Speaker 1: Now look at him all right. I think Sazaki is
Speaker 1: very much the same way. He's got to get comfortable,
Speaker 1: he's got to get adjusted. Boy, when he's when he's
Speaker 1: ready to go, they're gonna be a few like him.
Speaker 1: All right, Ronnie, thank you, thank you for a great week.
Speaker 1: It's been good seeing you this week. Ronnie Kevin. Terrific
Speaker 1: work again. Appreciate that. Have a good weekend. Happy Mother's
Speaker 1: Day of Lauren and Rodney. Happy Mother's Day to Holly,
Speaker 1: Mother's Dad of Rochelle. Absolutely all right, folks, have a
Speaker 1: good weekend. Talk to Monday.
