<v Speaker 2>calls again today? Did they make it a two in

21
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>a row show?

22
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 6>No?

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Wow? All right, phone lines are are open right now

24
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>eight six six ninet eighty seven two five seventy. We

25
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>can continue the conversation after yesterday's game. We'll get to

26
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>that in a moment. We are going to be joined

27
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>by for the first time this season, one of my favorites,

28
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.959
<v Speaker 2>one of your favorites more importantly, and that is lifelong

29
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Andre Ethier. Yes, the Dodgers acquired him while he

30
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>was playing in the minor leagues with the A's, but

31
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>they made his life better and he played his entire

32
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 2>twelve year career with the Dodgers. He is going to

33
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>join us coming up in about ten minutes. Also, at

34
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the hour, we are going to remind

35
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>everybody about the selective amnesia the national and East Coast

36
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 2>media has when it comes to Aaron Judge eight six

37
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 2>six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.

38
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>And also, since we are on the eve of an

39
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>exciting World Series a rematch between the Dodgers and Yankees

40
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>starting tomorrow at Dodgers Stadium, Max Freed against Tony Gonsolin.

41
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Our coverage begins at six o'clock, first pitch at seven

42
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>to ten. It's such a big game, Petro, some money

43
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>will be broadcasting from Dodgers Stadium tomorrow since we are

44
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 2>going to see the Yankees for the first time at

45
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium since Game two of last year's World Series.

46
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought there was no better night than to have

47
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>you share where you were when Freddy Freeman did this.

48
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>The Yankees three, the Dodgers two. The bases are loaded

49
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>to out bottom of the ten, fitting the scenario you

50
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>dream about. Freddy is living first pitch, swinging.

51
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 7>High fly ball, hit dude back, Freddie Freeman channeling is

52
00:02:59.000 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 7>inner curtain.

53
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 8>Get then, oh, walk up, hold run. In Game one

54
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 8>of the World jerries hey, walk off grand Flam.

55
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 7>They celebrate, had to play twitters six to three.

56
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 2>All right there it is. I mean, that makes everybody

57
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>feel good, no matter how you're feeling about yesterday's game,

58
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman's walk off Grand Slam and Game one of

59
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the World Series. Rick Monday, Steven Nelson on the call

60
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>last year on Dodgers Radio on the Dodgers Audio Network,

61
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and here on a five to seventy LA Sports, where

62
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>were you when that iconic Grand Slam was hit? And

63
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>last year's Game one of the World Series. I hope

64
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees are listening right now, just to remind them

65
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 2>who is their daddy, and that's Freddie Freeman and the

66
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers as they beat them in five games last year.

67
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>And we will get to that later in the show.

68
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>That horrific and wonderful fifth inning that the Yankees handed

69
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodgers and basically handed the World Series two.

70
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>But you never hear anybody throw Aaron Judge dropping that

71
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Keik Hernandez fly ball in his face. You never hear

72
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>anybody talk about it. You never hear about anybody talking

73
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>about Aaron Judge dropping that routine fly ball as he

74
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>was peeking out of his eye to see where Keik

75
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez was. You just never see it.

76
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

77
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>You never hear anybody talk about it. All you hear

78
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>about is Aaron Judge hitting four hundred. He's having the

79
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>greatest season of any right handed hitter. But if this

80
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>was Bill Buckner, if this was Alex Rodriguez, if it

81
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 2>was anybody else, we would see the replay of that

82
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>drop more than we have seen Garrett Cole and Anthony

83
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>Rizzo not covering first more than what we have seen

84
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>keiy a Hernandez sliding into third base and Volti throwing

85
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>the ball into the dirt. You don't see Aaron Judge,

86
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the greatest players of his generation, make a

87
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Buckner play. Why is that? We'll find out later? Eight

88
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>six six nine, eight seven, two five seventy is the

89
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>phone number we want to know where you were at

90
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the time. Freddie Freeman hit his Game one heroic Grand

91
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Slam against the Yankees with the Yankees in town after

92
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 2>having a very cushy West Coast road trip. When was

93
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the last time the Dodgers went to New York and

94
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>got to play the Yankees and Mets on the same trip, right?

95
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't happened since I've been traveling with the Dodgers,

96
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>no matter what plane I've been on, it just hasn't happened.

97
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 2>But major League Baseball doing what Major League Baseball does,

98
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 2>making life a lot easier for the Yankees, allowing them

99
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to have a nice, cushy Orange County series against the

100
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Angels and then a very cushy day off in Los

101
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Angeles and then a three game weekend series against the Dodgers.

102
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>When was the last time that ever happened? But I

103
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>digress eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy

104
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number off day Dodger talk. We are

105
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>hot tonight. You thought I was hot yesterday, I'm hot

106
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 2>tonight too. And if you had a problem with anything

107
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>I said regarding Tanner Scott yesterday, call me. You know,

108
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the only issue I had yesterday with any of you

109
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>was a guy from the two, one, three, He doesn't

110
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>even give his city, gives his area code, and telling

111
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 2>me that there was some connection, some correlation between Dave

112
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Roberts getting cute by not starting Hay Soong Kim and

113
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>getting cute by bringing in Tanner Scott in the seventh inning.

114
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Do any of you realize how thin the Dodger bullpen

115
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>is right now? There are going to be some things

116
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>that don't usually happen, including having Tanner Scott come in

117
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>for a multi inning not even safe but just to hold.

118
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you realize who's on the shelf? And that's the

119
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>reason why Andrew Friedman today made a great trade, a

120
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>by low type of trade for a former All Star,

121
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Alexis Das. He is the former closer for the Cincinnati

122
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Reds who got off to a bad start. And there's

123
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>gotta be more to it than just that, because there

124
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>had to be some issues with Terry Francona with the Reds.

125
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Why would they send him down after just a handful

126
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>of games. I mean, certain relievers, as we have seen,

127
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>struggle in the beginning of the year, but they don't

128
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 2>get sent down when you have the resume of Alexis Das,

129
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>who had thirty eight saves two years ago as an

130
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>All Star. Maybe a change of scenery for Alexis Daz

131
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to help him. And yes, he is related

132
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>to that Edwin Diaz, the closer for the Mets. So look,

133
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Alexis Dz from what Alden Gonzalez is reporting, is not

134
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>going to be on the Dodgers roster tomorrow, which we

135
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't expect him to be. The Dodgers are going to

136
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>get their hands on him, evaluate him at Camelback Ranch

137
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 2>in their pitching lab, and figure out what has gone

138
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>sideways for Alexis d As in the last year. And

139
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are probably better equipped to do that than

140
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 2>the Cincinnati Reds. Sorry track record, just saying so, I'm

141
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>really excited about Alexis Das. The Dodgers need innings from

142
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 2>somebody capable out of the bullpen, and I'm not putting

143
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>down Tanner Scott. He is very capable and the Dodgers

144
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 2>just want to see him be as capable as he

145
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>has been the last couple of years. He has blown

146
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 2>more saves this year than he did all of last year.

147
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>He only blew two saves last year in bleue and

148
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 2>has blown five already. He just doesn't look like the

149
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>same guy. And I thought Matt mney Smith a rare,

150
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 2>good question, good baseball question for money. Why did the

151
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers even tinker with Tanner Scott. You sign him for

152
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>a reason, Let him be that guy, and maybe now

153
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>that will happen. Nobody's really given me a straight answer

154
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>on how they've gotten Tanner Scott to throw more strikes,

155
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 2>and that's when things were going good. So we'll see

156
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>whether or not anybody can give me a straight answer

157
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>on what they have changed that has made him a

158
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 2>lot more hittable this year than last year. And look,

159
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to talking to the media, it's not

160
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>about me. It's not about the reporters in the clubhouse.

161
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a message to the rest of his teammates. You're

162
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the highest paid reliever in that bullpen. You have the

163
00:09:55.639 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>second highest relief pitcher contract in baseball. Josh Hater has

164
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the first one, you have the next. You've got to

165
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 2>make it known that you're standing up in front of

166
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 2>your locker and you're gonna take the heat. Don't sit

167
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>in your locker, don't just be there, be there, Craig

168
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Kimberl had a horrific time as a Dodger closer after

169
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Kenley Jansen left. Every time he had heartbreaking blown saves,

170
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>he made it known it was his responsibility to talk

171
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>and not anybody else. That was my only point yesterday.

172
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.279
<v Speaker 2>And I like Tanner Scott. We get along. He may

173
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 2>not like me anymore, but I still like him, and

174
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I still believe that Tanner Scott is going to get

175
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 2>his season on track. It just hasn't happened yet for

176
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>whatever reason. And the Dodgers need him if they're going

177
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.840
<v Speaker 2>where they need to go. They need Tanner Scott, especially

178
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:57.000
<v Speaker 2>now with Blake Trining, Evan Phillips, Kirby Yates, who else

179
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>am I missing? Bruce dar Graderol Michael Kopek all on

180
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>the shelf. They can't afford to have blown saves in

181
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the eighth inning, ninth inning. I mean, he blew a

182
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 2>save in New York that sent the game into thirteen innings.

183
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 2>It's just not a good residual for the rest of

184
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 2>the team. And it's not his inning, it's the team's inning.

185
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two, five seventy is

186
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the phone number before we hear from Andre Ethier. I mean,

187
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 2>we're Petro some Money, really serious with Paul Skeen's trade questions.

188
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you three names later in the show that

189
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 2>are realistic trade targets for the Dodgers. Don't go anywhere.

190
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 2>We have a full bo board of calls. We are

191
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>going to get to you and we will let you

192
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 2>know the three names that I have on my short

193
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.480
<v Speaker 2>list already for the Dodgers to target close to July

194
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 2>thirty first, and Paul Skeens is not on it. Petro

195
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 2>some Money, they love unicorns, they love rainbows. I don't

196
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>live in that world. I live right here in reality.

197
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the

198
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>phone number off day Dodger Talk with you until eight

199
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 2>o'clock tonight right here on a five to seventy LA Sports,

204
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Yankees going up against Tony Gonsolin. And we're joined right

205
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>now by a man that couldn't stay away from Southern California.

206
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to get close to the heat. He didn't

207
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>want to get too close with the Dodgers in first

208
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 2>place in the NL West, the Yankees back in town

209
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>for the World Series. A man that spent his entire

210
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Major League career with one team, and that is in

211
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Blue. He's a Gold Glover, he's a silver slugger,

212
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 2>he's an All Star, and he's number one in your program, Mine, Andre,

213
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>eighth year, Andre, thanks a lot for joining us finally

214
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk this year.

215
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 6>A commercial break after that intro.

216
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 3>My goodness, Yeah.

217
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's hard. You're a hard guy to get

218
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 2>a hold of these days.

219
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 6>Hey, we're we're I think we talked right before we

220
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:18.840
<v Speaker 6>started taping this.

221
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 3>We're almost sixty games of the season. You finally gave

222
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 3>me the.

223
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 6>Signal from the bullpen to come in and let me

224
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 6>get on the show. So I appreciate it. And yeah,

225
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 6>I'm in Southern California for the last couple of weeks

226
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 6>hanging out and yeah, looking forward.

227
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:33.679
<v Speaker 3>To the series.

228
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.000
<v Speaker 6>This uh miss speaking there in LA I was actually

229
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 6>gonna go up and see it until I found out

230
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.399
<v Speaker 6>that my Son Devils from Arizona State are in the

231
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 6>UCLA hosted regional this weekend, so I kind of did

232
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.559
<v Speaker 6>a pivot and I'm gonna go see some college beat

233
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 6>fall action this weekend with the Sun Devils, Irvine, Fresno State,

234
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 6>and UCLA Bruins there all at fourteen Regional UCLA this weekend,

235
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 6>So a fun time, bottom a lot of baseball in

236
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 6>the LA area, and who knows, maybe some good future

237
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 6>Dodgs out there on that airs unstay tee.

238
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I'm surprised you're going to that and not going

239
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 2>to Anaheim for the Savannah Bananas. I thought maybe you

240
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>might be the guest star for the Savannah Bananas tomorrow.

241
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 6>Hey, you know, I don't I don't like anything Anaheim,

242
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.000
<v Speaker 6>and I don't consider that a part of what we

243
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 6>do down there. I think I like those parts of

244
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.159
<v Speaker 6>that hobviers down there in Crystal Cove.

245
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll go down there to hang out.

246
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 6>Hobbyers and have a few drinks there watching the sunset,

247
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 6>but other than that, I don't need to go to

248
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.559
<v Speaker 6>the Angel Stadium for anything. A'll wait for the Bananas

249
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 6>to be in Donders Stadium and maybe I'll have my

250
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 6>guest appearance.

251
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, Hobbers is a big, a big fan of

252
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodger talk and David Vasse Senior and junior. They love me,

253
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>but I heard they are lukewarm on you.

254
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 6>That's all right, I like I like the margaritas enough

255
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 6>to give a pass for the too good fa for me.

256
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 6>Good time, great food. Yeah, it's good to be back

257
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 6>in California for a few weeks and uh, you know,

258
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 6>hanging out watching a lot of Dodger baseball actually there

259
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.000
<v Speaker 6>on this last road trip, and it's fun to see that.

260
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 3>You know.

261
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 6>I think they went out and did pretty well in

262
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 6>that road trip. It was kind of the beginning of

263
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.799
<v Speaker 6>a tough stretch for them, and I think they did

264
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 6>pretty well, you know too, you know, a tough New

265
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 6>York series and obviously it's always tough to go into

266
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 6>Cleveland and play games, and you know, they handled business

267
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:28.720
<v Speaker 6>so too.

268
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 2>How much do you believe players, especially now, don't appreciate

269
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 2>just the attention and the microscope they are going to

270
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>be under when they're playing with sho Heyo Tani and

271
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.559
<v Speaker 2>they're part of a team that is coming off a

272
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>big time World Series championship. Do we have to give

273
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott and Michael Confordo. And I know Blake Snell

274
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>hasn't pitched a lot, but a little bit more grace

275
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 2>to get used to their new environment.

276
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna be very I wouldn't say litical, but I'll

277
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 6>be very upfront. I don't I couldn't even tell you

278
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 6>because you know what, Unfortunately, I've never got to play

279
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 6>with the player of shows caliber, and I never got

280
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 6>experience to play after a World Series win. So you

281
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 6>know that being said, the game has changed a lot

282
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.759
<v Speaker 6>the last six seven years that I've been out, and uh,

283
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers, for that, you know, has changed so much.

284
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 6>You know, the lights bigger, the lights of brighter. Uh,

285
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 6>you know, unbelievable what the you know, team you know,

286
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 6>front office ownership, fans have done to elevate this team

287
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 6>to the forefront one of the main uh you know,

288
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 6>premiere organizations in all Major League Baseball. Yes, so I

289
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 6>will say just from that experience of knowing going into

290
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 6>some of those you know, playing in l A, going

291
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 6>into big markets, Yes, the lights of brighter. Uh, the

292
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:57.320
<v Speaker 6>microscope is is that much more fine? The grace doesn't

293
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.759
<v Speaker 6>get so, you know, so leaning when you're not performing

294
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.640
<v Speaker 6>and what do the fans what do What does this

295
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 6>coaching staff, what does this front office expect? They expect

296
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.519
<v Speaker 6>another World Series? And rightfully so. So there's no days off,

297
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 6>there's no years off. It's get right back at it.

298
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.240
<v Speaker 6>It's the same team, maybe even better bullpen, maybe even

299
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 6>better pitching. You know, offense is the same. Maybe some

300
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 6>key guys that were had it on and there's no

301
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 6>excuses not too and I think that's just a part

302
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:31.240
<v Speaker 6>of adding those guys who might have not played recently

303
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.039
<v Speaker 6>with teams.

304
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 3>In that area.

305
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, here's something you know about because during your

306
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.359
<v Speaker 2>time with the Dodgers you were considered, and rightfully so,

307
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.880
<v Speaker 2>as being one of the most clutch players in Major

308
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball. Can you explain to us, and it's kind

309
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.519
<v Speaker 2>of lost in the analytics of baseball these days, just

310
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the difference between being in the batter's box with a

311
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 2>runner at second base or third base or both runners

312
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in scoring position, compared to coming to the plate when

313
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>nobody on base and being counted on as a run producer.

314
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's it's that's tough both sides. You know,

315
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.839
<v Speaker 6>there's so many nuances to the game that we have

316
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 6>to look at And that's you know, something I'm constantly

317
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 6>trying to teach you know, younger players and stuff now

318
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 6>is it's not purely just go up there, seatball, hit ball,

319
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 6>and whatever happens happens.

320
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:20.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's a game.

321
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 6>You know, you've you've heard it how many times say,

322
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 6>there's a game within a game right there and there

323
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 6>untill he is, And there's a game within the game

324
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 6>of the game. Because each inning, you know, you can

325
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.359
<v Speaker 6>break it down to thirds, first, third innings, middle, you know, second,

326
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.160
<v Speaker 6>third innings, and the last three innings. There's different things

327
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.640
<v Speaker 6>that hitters top to bottom are asked to do and

328
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 6>they're expected to do, uh and those change according to

329
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 6>the situation. And that's a part of being a good

330
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 6>baseball players. You have to be able to adapt to,

331
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, a lot of those different possibilities. A guy

332
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.400
<v Speaker 6>like Show Hey, it's simple, it's get up there, drive

333
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 6>the ball as hard as you know, as hard as

334
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.119
<v Speaker 6>you can off the bat, and hit it as far

335
00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.880
<v Speaker 6>as you can and hope you can get the points.

336
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 6>But you see himself give himself up in certain situations

337
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 6>and and you know, try to get a ball, you know,

338
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 6>pull side, try to you know, make make sure he's

339
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.000
<v Speaker 6>making contact, put a ball in play.

340
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Stuff like that. And then guys who might not hit.

341
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 6>Homers all the time, you know, late in the game

342
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 6>you might be expected to drive a ball to the

343
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 6>wall rather than just that's you know that good contact

344
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 6>lines d I swing.

345
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 3>That gets the base runner going. So being a good.

346
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 6>Baseball player, you have to know all the possibilities.

347
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 3>You have to know.

348
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 6>Your you know limits, what your possibilities are of your

349
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 6>own talents and go out there and whatever the situation

350
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 6>calls for.

351
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Andre Ethier, the Man, the Myth, the legend, making his

352
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 2>premier appearance during this season on Dodger Talk. Do you

353
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 2>have a Superior Grocer's word? Are the day for us today?

354
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Or is that just during the games?

355
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 3>Just through the games?

356
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 6>But yes, the Prayer Grocers, you know, they're they're a

<v Speaker 2>everything you did for your twelve year major league career.

<v Speaker 6>Uh, yeah, I do because I'm trying to be you know,

366
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 6>I try to say, you know, I just went out

367
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 6>there and did it to you know, play the game

368
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 6>right way, and obviously, well I was playing the game

369
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 6>the right way for the fans and and uh, you know,

00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.920
<v Speaker 6>making proud of to be a Dodger fan, and try

372
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 6>to elevate uh you know, the city, elevate everything, you know,

373
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.000
<v Speaker 6>to be representative of what we see on that hat,

374
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 6>which is LA. And yeah, you know everything that everything

375
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 6>I tried to do obviously was to have the most success,

376
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, for myself and family, but was for those

377
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.799
<v Speaker 6>reasons also. And you know, I have this love and

378
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 6>fondness for LA, for all the fans and the way

379
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.920
<v Speaker 6>they've treated me all those years. And yeah, there's there's

380
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 6>no better feeling than walking back into Dodger Stadium, which

381
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 6>still feels like home every time I step in it,

382
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.640
<v Speaker 6>and you know, getting a chance to hear and express

383
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, with you know here fans how they talk

384
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.599
<v Speaker 6>to me, and then I get expressed, you know, some

385
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.119
<v Speaker 6>of the things that I might not ever get a

386
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Speaker 6>chance to say when I was a player, because you're

387
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:25.920
<v Speaker 6>so focused and concentrated and sometimes even guarded, uh for yourself.

388
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 6>But it's nice to be able to be in this

389
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.240
<v Speaker 6>position to you know, go to some of the things

390
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 6>I do and be around the stadium and get a share, uh,

391
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, my appreciation for the fans back, you know.

392
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 3>To them.

393
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you miss the game?

394
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 9>Oh?

395
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I miss it every every day, think about it.

396
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.440
<v Speaker 6>That's that's the one thing that's kind of kind of weird,

397
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 6>uh to be because you know, there's a lot of

398
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 6>professions where you might be able to get back and

399
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 6>get experience and taste of it again. And you know,

400
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.920
<v Speaker 6>when you're done playing professional sports, it's when it's done.

401
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.359
<v Speaker 3>It's done.

402
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:01.039
<v Speaker 6>There's no uh kind of going back, especially baseball, football, basketball,

403
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 6>going back and just you know, giving it one more shot,

404
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, for the most part, unless your many roo

405
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 6>mirrors and they're still swinging.

406
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 3>The batting page.

407
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, like you see like you see the videos all

408
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 6>the time. But yeah, every day sometimes somethings more, some

409
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 6>days not.

410
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't miss it.

411
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean I was just throwing uh balls, the whiffle

412
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 6>balls on the beach with my daughter while she's hitting,

413
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 6>and you know it's I would be lying if I

414
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker 6>didn't say, flashbacks come in my head just standing there,

415
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 6>you know, throwing, you just have flashes of you know, hey, yet,

416
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.319
<v Speaker 6>this time ten years ago, while I was getting ready

417
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 6>to play, you know, the the.

418

420
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 6>in set, I'm sitting on the beach. But yeah, there's

421
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:43.920
<v Speaker 6>there's always lots of reminders. And then, you know, I

422
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:48.759
<v Speaker 6>got two older boys who were playing baseball, you know,

423

<v Speaker 6>quite a bit, and out there, you know, using my

424

<v Speaker 6>rolodex of of experience and and gameplay and practice and

425
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 6>all the things I saw and the and seeing to

426
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 6>help them, uh, you know, better prepare and and form

427
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.279
<v Speaker 6>a game plan to make them the most successful they can, uh,

428
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, for their uh you know, baseball crewers.

<v Speaker 6>things happen in those conversations when you see but not

448
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.640
<v Speaker 6>a lot of you know, people get to see that

449
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.519
<v Speaker 6>unless you come to the ball field early, sometimes on

450
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 6>the road and you know, see the opposing team playing

451
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.200
<v Speaker 6>catch or you know that's how at two thirty three

452
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:17.519
<v Speaker 6>o'clock in the afternoon when we're out there really doing

453
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 6>our first you know, warm up with the day and

454
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 6>we're out there having those conversations, uh, you know, preparing

455
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 6>for the game that night.

456
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>After Matt Camp left and Cody Bellinger emerged in your

457
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>final season, his rookie year was Cody Bellinger. Every year

458
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:32.880
<v Speaker 2>catch partner.

459
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 6>He was occasy, But who was my actually catch partner

460
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.240
<v Speaker 6>all right, after Matt left was Matt Ower was Josh Peterson.

461
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:43.279
<v Speaker 6>Oh okay, so Jock was my catch partner after that.

462
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 6>And it was when it was when it was just

463
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 6>not being my catch.

464
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 3>Part it was more of comedy hour I was.

465
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:50.400
<v Speaker 6>I would sit there just crack up about this guy

466
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 6>all the time and all the you know, the antics

467
00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:58.200
<v Speaker 6>and stuff that he always had going on. And that

468
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:00.559
<v Speaker 6>sparked pretty good for me because it was, you know,

469
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 6>great to play catch with a young up and coming

470
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 6>player that you know, had that.

471
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Enthusiasm and just like newness of the game.

472
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 6>And they kind of reminded me of, you know, to

473
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:17.039
<v Speaker 6>be appreciative of you know, where we're at, because you know,

474
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.799
<v Speaker 6>that's the one thing you can you know, you hear

475
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 6>and tells the whole time. As baseball is, you know,

476
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 6>the old players will grow up being the new players

477
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 6>are too happy, and sometimes it's going to put yourself

478
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.960
<v Speaker 6>in the young player's shoes again as a as an

479
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 6>old player, just see how fun and and how much uh,

480
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 6>you know, how new and how exciting the game was

481
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 6>when you first came up.

482
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Those are great stories. I love hearing that, and I

483
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.920
<v Speaker 2>know fans love hearing that kind of stuff. Before I

484
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 2>let you go, I asked fans to call in again tonight.

485
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 2>With the Dodgers and Yankees getting set for tomorrow. Where

486
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>were you when Freddie Freeman hit his walk off Grand Slam?

487
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:54.920
<v Speaker 2>And did you feel like it was going to happen?

488
00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

489
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 6>I I don't know what it was. The glands Lad

490
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 6>was going to happen. I thought, definitely, we're getting hit

491
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 6>in that situation, and you know things were gonna I

492
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 6>was actually catting the lineup and see who.

493
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 3>Was behind him, to see how we were setting up

494
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker 3>for that.

495
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.480
<v Speaker 6>But I knew he was going to get something done.

496
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.359
<v Speaker 6>I could just feel it. It was like one of those,

497
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:20.759
<v Speaker 6>you know moments that those great clutch hits for the

498
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers that you see replayed in history that I mean,

499
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 6>you don't want to be jump on, but the giftson

500
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.079
<v Speaker 6>home run that replayed a thousand times inside the stadium

501
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 6>every time I played there when the team was behind.

502
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, it was one of those moments that were.

503
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 6>Setting up for there. And I was actually sitting at

504
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 6>a baseball game in Phoenix watching what my kids playing

505
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:46.200
<v Speaker 6>when it happened, and I just see, you could hear

506
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 6>the little four pack of you know, baseball fields. At

507
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 6>these club games, you could hear the four pack of

508
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:55.359
<v Speaker 6>people at the fans. He could hear cheering and groaning

509
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.519
<v Speaker 6>all at the same time of all the parents and

510
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 6>everyone watching the game, watching the kids games, but all

511
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 6>watching the World Series on the phone.

512
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey, how's your guy at Noble Bakery in Phoenix handling it?

513
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Because every time you take me there, he's got a

514
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Yankee hat on. He's mister New York. How is he

515
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:14.480
<v Speaker 2>handling the Dodgers being the Yankees daddy?

516
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 9>Uh?

517
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 6>Jared Darre my guy. Darren's actually funny story is we

518
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:19.880
<v Speaker 6>hopped on a plate the next day out together as

519
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:24.039
<v Speaker 6>he too, and yeah, yeah, yeah, so he was.

520
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.440
<v Speaker 3>He took it.

521
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:27.720
<v Speaker 6>He took it better. You know the Yankee fans they

522
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.519
<v Speaker 6>like to say, well we have twenty actually, well you one,

523
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker 6>you won twenty of them when there's only four.

524
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Teams in the league.

525
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.559
<v Speaker 6>So, uh, you know that's that's what time might joke

526
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 6>to him about that. But yeah, he took it pretty well.

527
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 6>And uh he makes the great flies of pizza over there.

528
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 6>I think we've had lunch there together.

529
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, great spot, great spot. I recommend it. Great guy.

530
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the few fans.

531
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.839
<v Speaker 3>That we like, Yes, one of few.

532
00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Speaker 6>And you know what I missed me and you getting

533
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.880
<v Speaker 6>a slice of pizza in downtown La at Prince at

534
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 6>Prince Street Pizza. I had a couple a couple of

535
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:58.960
<v Speaker 6>years ago. We got a slice together there.

536
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, the games, you know, all the spots. Still

537
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 2>you're still the king of foodie.

538
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Prince Street, Prince Street Pizza one of my favorite

539
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.480
<v Speaker 6>places to grab a place in downtown Pile shooter again,

540
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:12.240
<v Speaker 6>I love it.

541
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:14.640
<v Speaker 2>We actually were having this debate during the rain delay

542
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.759
<v Speaker 2>where the best slice of pizza is in La and

543
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:20.440
<v Speaker 2>you just you just solved the answer for all of us.

544
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's the stadium.

545
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 6>I like that. Prince Street my still favorites maybe kind

546
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 6>of I mean forgotten or maybe not, but I like

547
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 6>Oysteria or Pizzaia Moza. Oh yeah, they're on Melros and Highland.

548
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 6>That's you know, one of my favorite all time places.

549
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 6>I think they kind of were at the forefront of

550
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 6>just going to a restaurant to sit down and have

551
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 6>a whole pie type restaurant was based around the pizza pie.

552
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.839
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, it's kind of one of those great slices

553
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 6>that you forget is there. But every time you have it,

554
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.440
<v Speaker 6>and if you've had it before, it just as like,

555
00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 6>oh yeah, I remember this.

556
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Great memory, and certainly everybody in Los Angeles remembers them

557
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 2>and appreciates how you just left it all out on

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 6>but yeah.

572
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.079
<v Speaker 2>For them, I mean, I'll pretend that you have a

573
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:46.799
<v Speaker 2>chance to win. But John Savage is my guy.

574
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:49.039
<v Speaker 3>All right, all right, we'll.

575
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Hear the fork, all right, Andre Ethier, We'll send him

576
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 2>on his way. Appreciate him coming on the show tonight.

577
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Got to get him on more often, but I told him,

578
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>when I'm at the stadium, I'm doing in person interviews.

579
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing phone interviews. So another off night or

580
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>another opportunity, we'll have Andre Ethier on. Those were great

581
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:14.000
<v Speaker 2>stories about playing catch with Matt Camp and Jock Peterson,

582
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 2>just big kids out there and love hearing those stories.

583
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.000
<v Speaker 2>All Right, We're gonna take our last time out on

584
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. We have a full board of calls. I

585
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.319
<v Speaker 2>promise we are getting to all of you, and I'll

586
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker 2>let you know the three names on my short list

587
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 2>already for the trade deadline. The Dodgers already made, in

588
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.599
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, a trade that is going to benefit them

589
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 2>whenever Alexis Daz comes up and contributes to the bullpen.

590
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 2>He was an All Star just two seasons ago. He's

591
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger now, and the Dodgers gave up nothing for him.

592
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Alexis Das, the former closer for the Reds, is now

593
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger. More Dodger Talk until eight o'clock right here

<v Speaker 2>one of the World Series. Let's go out to the phones.

609
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I told you I would get to the phones tonight, Pasadena.

610
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Fobby In, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing.

611

<v Speaker 10>How you doing?

613
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably wonderful. We've established you're doing good. I'm doing good.

614
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>So what do you got?

615
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

616
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.799
<v Speaker 10>My story relating to the Freddie Freeman Grand Slam is

617
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:14.119
<v Speaker 10>pretty ordinary, but I mean, it's something that I'll remember

618
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.359
<v Speaker 10>for the rest of my life. I was at Victory

619
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 10>Park in Pasadena. I was just finished coaching my back

620
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 10>to back soccer games. I had been kind of listening

621
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.079
<v Speaker 10>to the game with one year but in my ear

622
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.200
<v Speaker 10>and not really paying attention because I was trying to

623
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 10>focus on kind of coaching as well. When I'm kind

624
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 10>of loading my gear, it's kind of like eight thirty.

625
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 10>I'm kind of loading my gear to the back of

626
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.039
<v Speaker 10>my truck. I'm trying to visualize what's going on. Steven

627
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:42.799
<v Speaker 10>Nelson's trying to paint a picture. The bases are loaded,

628
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:47.000
<v Speaker 10>you know, Freddie Freeman comes up to bat, and I'm thinking,

629
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 10>you know, a base hit will win, right, you know,

630
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 10>just two runs, it's all we need. When all of

631
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 10>a sudden, you know, he makes the call that it's

632
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:57.839
<v Speaker 10>a Grand Slam. I honestly, I could not believe that

633
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 10>it was a Grand Slam. I was just like, my dreaming,

634
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:02.440
<v Speaker 10>is it is this for real?

635
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear him streaming through the radio or did

636
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.400
<v Speaker 2>you hear him screaming all the way from Dodger Stadium.

637
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.039
<v Speaker 10>I heard him screaming from God, and then I started

638
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:14.400
<v Speaker 10>screaming louder than he because I was so excited. I mean,

639
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 10>I went to the I went to the playground, I

640
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.799
<v Speaker 10>started telling all the parents that that what had just happened.

641
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 10>It was it was amazing, it was aesome. It's so

642
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.319
<v Speaker 10>amazing that I had to dedicate one of my one

643
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 10>of my walls in my office with the image of

644
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 10>the statue of Liberty shot. It's it's just it was

645
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.640
<v Speaker 10>a fantastic shots. It's iconic, something I'll remember the rest

646
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.160
<v Speaker 10>of my life.

647
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Love it. Thank you for sharing that. That's a great story.

648
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I love hearing those stories. We my generation had those

649
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 2>stories when we were watching Kirk Gibson's home run, and

650
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.359
<v Speaker 2>it's just incredible how many parallels there were between Freddie

651
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Freeman's Grand Slam and Kirk Gibson's home run in in

652
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 2>the World Series, both game ones. Both guys were hobbling

653
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:02.240
<v Speaker 2>with multiple injury that were preventing them from being the

654
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.440
<v Speaker 2>player that we are accustomed to see them being. Freddie

655
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 2>not only the right ankle but also the rib cage

656
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:11.760
<v Speaker 2>and all that, And where the ball landed was in

657
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 2>the same area where Kirk Gibson hit his home run.

658
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:18.440
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, the iconic Kirk Gibson image of

659
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>him with the arm up going up first base, hobbling

660
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 2>up to first base as he's getting ready to round

661
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the bases. Freddie Freeman with the Statue

662
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:31.840
<v Speaker 2>of Liberty, great description pose and look back at his dad.

663
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>And also, you know, Kirk Gibson started pumping his arms

664
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:41.239
<v Speaker 2>his fists going around second base, and Freddie Freeman had

665
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:44.400
<v Speaker 2>that type of moment as well. If you remember, Freddie

666
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Freeman did the flex as he is running second base

667
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.360
<v Speaker 2>to third base towards the bullpen. So just so many

668
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:55.760
<v Speaker 2>parallels to those moments. And look, Freddie Freeman's not thinking

669
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 2>about Kirk Gibson at that moment in time. He's just

670
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.639
<v Speaker 2>really excited. They won Game one of the World Series

671
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:05.519
<v Speaker 2>on a walkoff grand Slam that has never happened before

672
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in baseball history. Let's go out to a joy in Alpine.

673
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:09.840
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodgery Talk.

674
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Hey, what's.

675
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.280
<v Speaker 9>Up, Dave? I'm good, Thanks for asking. Man. Hey, So

676
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 9>my story is pretty simple but pretty cool. I think

677
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 9>I was watching the game here at home in Alpine,

678
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 9>and you know, it got pretty dicey there and we

679
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 9>got a call that we found out we were going

680
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:28.360
<v Speaker 9>to game two, so I was actually packing for game

681
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:31.840
<v Speaker 9>two to make the drive from from Alpine to la

682
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:33.480
<v Speaker 9>We got to stay at the Western and it was

683
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:36.480
<v Speaker 9>pretty a pretty cool time, and so that that was

684
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 9>my story for game one there. But I wanted to

685
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.679
<v Speaker 9>for always calling out the factions yesterday. You know, I

686
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.760
<v Speaker 9>know you got all heat on Petros and and from

687
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:50.920
<v Speaker 9>a lot of people, but hey, I always appreciate that. Man. Uh,

688
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 9>you know, those type of fans make the rest of

689
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 9>us look bad. And I know that we have very

690
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:57.119
<v Speaker 9>factions that don't like Roberts and don't like you know,

691
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.920
<v Speaker 9>everybody has their thing right their course, but I appreciate

692
00:35:59.960 --> 00:36:03.239
<v Speaker 9>you at least keeping it real. And the Judge scene,

693
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 9>I have cousins and a Yankee fans. It was an

694
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.280
<v Speaker 9>awesome time to have a group chat. And I always

695
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.760
<v Speaker 9>said my cousin the same meme, which is the World

696
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.320
<v Speaker 9>Series Trophy. Beam dropped on the pop up with Judge

697
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.760

<v Speaker 1>Yes, another row too, Tommy, I'm been the center field.

703
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Judge comes on and will hang up.

704
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:29.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, he cls center, he clanks it flank, he dropped

705
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 4>the ball, kick k goes the second, he slides in safely.

706
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 4>He initially turned back to first second judge, make the ketge?

707
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:39.119
<v Speaker 2>You want to hear Boomer Siasin playing that on his

708
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.880
<v Speaker 2>WFA N show. Everybody's just trying to sweep that under

709
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the rug. It's the one of the words, you know,

710
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.480
<v Speaker 2>it plays by any great player in a World series.

711
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Yet nobody keeps the receipts on this guy.

<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yeah, the game.

744
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:33.239
<v Speaker 11>The only thing was I'm really the only Diehard event

745
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.039
<v Speaker 11>in there because my pups was in Mexico, so the

746
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 11>ground time happens. One thing I don't see people talk

747
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:41.519
<v Speaker 11>about is that when when Freddie was running third.

748
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 5>He hit that that.

749
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:45.519
<v Speaker 11>Eron Judge roll called gerrilla emo, whatever the hell he

750
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:47.280
<v Speaker 11>calls it. He hit it on him and he was

751
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 11>running third. I love that.

752
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well he was flexing towards the bullpen. I missed

753
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 2>that part of it, so you were the only.

754
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:56.559
<v Speaker 11>True thing was the eron Judge thing.

755
00:38:56.840 --> 00:39:00.320
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, it was Freddy rounding Second Bay, going

756
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:04.119
<v Speaker 2>to third and flexing towards the bullpen. The Aaron Judge

757
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.880
<v Speaker 2>clank is something that I'll remind everybody of every one

758
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.480
<v Speaker 2>of these three games, even though the national and New

759
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:13.440
<v Speaker 2>York media want to curry favor with Aaron Judge and

760
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>will pretend like it never happened. No, Runny, can we

761
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 2>hear that one more time, just to remind everybody? Uh

762
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:27.199
<v Speaker 2>the Buckner play for Aaron Judge in his career last year.

763
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, here, here we go.

764
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>He zeus, Tommy, I've been to center field. Judge comes

765
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:32.159
<v Speaker 1>on and will hang up.

766
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, he cons he clanks it.

767
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.679
<v Speaker 4>Clank, He dropped the ball goes the second he slides

768
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.559
<v Speaker 4>in safely. He initially turned back to first ink and

769
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:41.679
<v Speaker 4>Judge make the catch.

770
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Clank clank. Did you hear that? Heyesus clank. You can

771
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:48.159
<v Speaker 2>hear that from Long Island to La.

772
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.840
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, if you listen closely, you hear it. Go when

773
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:52.800
<v Speaker 11>it hits his clothes.

774
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Yep, clanks it, et cetera. He clanks it. There it issident,

775
00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:59.599
<v Speaker 4>he clanks it. Oh, clank, thanks azeus.

776
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate. I ate the phone call. Yeah, that was the

777
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:04.360
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the end for the Yankees. In that fifth inning,

778
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmond sending a routine fly ball to New York's

779
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:13.800
<v Speaker 2>favorite son, Aaron Judge, who clanked it, and that started

780
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the snowball effect where Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo they

781
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:20.719
<v Speaker 2>were wondering who was going to cover first base, and

782
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:24.320
<v Speaker 2>then Anthony Volpi made a bad throw to the third base,

783
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.639
<v Speaker 2>and then ta Oscar Hernandez tied the game with a

784
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:30.840
<v Speaker 2>two run double. Yeah, you know he likes it. Clank, clank,

785
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that's the clank. New York does not want you to remember.

786
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:35.400
<v Speaker 4>He clanks it.

787
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:37.840
<v Speaker 2>We're here to hold him accountable, Aaron Judge. And if

788
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.360
<v Speaker 2>you're going to the game this weekend, I'm not sure

789
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:42.840
<v Speaker 2>if Judge he's even going to play the outfield, but

790
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.639
<v Speaker 2>when he comes to the plate, maybe remind him about

791
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:48.440
<v Speaker 2>that clank. He clanks it. Oh yeah, let's go out

792
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to Richard and Fullerton. You're on Dodger Talk with David

793
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.440
<v Speaker 2>vasse Hi Richard, Hey.

794
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:57.079
<v Speaker 5>Dave, A big fan of yours, listened to you over

795
00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 5>the years. Is my first time calling in?

796
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

797
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:01.199
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to mention.

798
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh, tell's my voice tonight much better?

799
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:05.320
<v Speaker 5>It's better?

800
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

801
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 5>All right? Is well? I just want to mention that

802
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.920
<v Speaker 5>that I heard Aaron Judge change his middle name to Buckner.

803
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh you see what you did there?

804
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:15.519
<v Speaker 3>He cleans it.

805
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.880
<v Speaker 2>He should change his middle name to Aaron klank Judge.

806
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:24.840
<v Speaker 2>He guy has the worst betting average than Alex Rodriguez.

807
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:28.880
<v Speaker 2>In October he makes one of the biggest clanks in

808
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Baseball World Series history, and everybody just glosses over it,

809
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:36.039
<v Speaker 2>doesn't remind him of it once. I mean, you talk

810
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.880
<v Speaker 2>about a world that has gone soft. That's New York

811
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:41.639
<v Speaker 2>sports media.

812
00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:43.840
<v Speaker 5>I agree you're preaching to the choir in that one.

813
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:46.840
<v Speaker 5>But the reason why I called is I just want

814
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:49.800
<v Speaker 5>to get your thoughts on Max Montsie. I know, offensively,

815
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:53.599
<v Speaker 5>he's had his challenges, but he's really becoming a liability

816
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:57.639
<v Speaker 5>on the defensive side. In fact, yesterday he extended that

817
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 5>aning for Tanner Scott and I'm not forgeting any with

818
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:03.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, Tanner not pitching well, but he really is

819
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:08.039
<v Speaker 5>making it really hard on the Dodgers defensively, just with

820
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:11.199
<v Speaker 5>his miscues. He has eight errors and what fifty four games.

821
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he had a rough road trip, no doubt about it. Defensively,

822
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.079
<v Speaker 2>he's got to clean it up. You got to clean

823
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:17.360
<v Speaker 2>it up.

824
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:19.920
<v Speaker 5>What's the answer. I mean, are the Dodgers going to

825
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.159
<v Speaker 5>trade for someone? I mean, and you know it's his

826
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:24.920
<v Speaker 5>last year of his contract. They have a ten million

827
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:28.239
<v Speaker 5>dollar option for next year. But I'm really struggling with

828
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.880
<v Speaker 5>his defensive liability.

829
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Richard.

830
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:33.000
<v Speaker 5>I Livesey Richard.

831
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:36.159
<v Speaker 2>I know they're not moving him to second base. Max

832
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Munsey has got to start playing better, not just hitting better,

833
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 2>playing better or I'm a big advocate of more Key

834
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:47.400
<v Speaker 2>k Hernandez at third base. You got to he's going

835
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.519
<v Speaker 2>to play better defense. I mean, we can all agree

836
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:53.360
<v Speaker 2>on that he's a better defensive player at third base. Offensively,

837
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:56.239
<v Speaker 2>he's not a guy you want out there every day.

838
00:42:56.320 --> 00:43:00.519
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I'm not saying completely bench Max month see,

839
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.000
<v Speaker 2>but there's got to be a shared time at third base.

840
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:08.639
<v Speaker 5>If this continues, what timeline do you think that would

841
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:10.960
<v Speaker 5>occur at the end of this month, the end of June.

842
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:12.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't know anything.

843
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Ask me at the end of this homestand I'll be

844
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:15.440
<v Speaker 2>emotional either way.

845
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, you are emotional today, which I really appreciate because

846
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.960
<v Speaker 5>you tell it as it is, and I you know, honestly,

847
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:23.480
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate that you're not a homer.

848
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I grew up with Vin Scully and Don Drysdale and

849
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday and Charlie Steiner. None of those guys are

850
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.079
<v Speaker 2>homers exactly.

851
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:34.679
<v Speaker 5>So well, again, I appreciate you taking my call, and

852
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:35.840
<v Speaker 5>thank you all right.

853
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Richard, thanks for the phone call. Yes, I will be

854
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:41.360
<v Speaker 2>emotional one way or the other. By next Thursday, a

855
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:44.400
<v Speaker 2>week from tonight, I will be very emotional. Either the

856
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers took care of business against the New York teams,

857
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:51.199
<v Speaker 2>or New York came to town and made me very upset.

858
00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is

859
00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Speaking of trades, I told you that

860
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I had a short list of realistic trade targets, not

861
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skeens. I mean, I thought I'd put that to bed,

862
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.480
<v Speaker 2>but then all of a sudden I walk into the

863
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:12.719
<v Speaker 2>radio station today and Petros and Tim Kates and Money

864
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 2>want me to talk about the Paul Skeens trade. I said,

865
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skeen's trade.

866
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:17.440
<v Speaker 6>What?

867
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, Yeah, it's in the athletic Yeah, I don't

868
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 2>care where it is. It's not happening. If it is,

869
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:26.400
<v Speaker 2>you could put me in a dunk tank in the

870
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 2>parking lot at Dodgers Stadium and have it for two hours. Yes, Ronnie,

871
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 2>you'll be first in line. Yes, but it's not happening.

872
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:36.480
<v Speaker 2>The Pirates are not trading Paul Skins. And do you

873
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:40.639
<v Speaker 2>really believe twenty nine other teams want the Pirates to

874
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.480
<v Speaker 2>trade Paul Skeens to the Dodgers. Trust me, there are

875
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:48.000
<v Speaker 2>other teams that would have something to say about that. So, nonetheless,

876
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:51.519
<v Speaker 2>that's unicorns and rainbows for Tim Kates on Olive Avenue

877
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:55.280
<v Speaker 2>and Petros down there on the hill. But here is

878
00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:59.840
<v Speaker 2>a real name. They lost again in a double header

879
00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:05.159
<v Speaker 2>to the Phillies Interer Division loss. The Atlanta Braves are

880
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.519
<v Speaker 2>currently twenty six and twenty nine. They are not going

881
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:10.880
<v Speaker 2>to win the NAT least, they are not going to

882
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:15.320
<v Speaker 2>win a wildcard. Their ship is sinking fast. The guy

883
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:18.559
<v Speaker 2>that Dodgers need at the trade deadline is none other

884
00:45:18.679 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 2>than raining Cy Young Award winner in the National League,

885
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sail. Chris Sale. He is the guy. His era

886
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.880
<v Speaker 2>this year is three zero six. He threw six scoreless

887
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:35.880
<v Speaker 2>innings to night against the Phillies and a loss. This

888
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:40.079
<v Speaker 2>guy has the Walker Bueller type of gene. You remember

889
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:45.280
<v Speaker 2>seeing the Red Sox bullpen standing oh for Chris Sale

890
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.039
<v Speaker 2>when he came out of those gates at Dodgers Stadium

891
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:51.559
<v Speaker 2>in Game five of the twenty eighteen World Series. That

892
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:54.880
<v Speaker 2>guy is a dog. The Dodgers need some dogs in

893
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:59.360
<v Speaker 2>their rotation. He would be that guy for October. I

894
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>am all in for the Dodgers to trade for Chris

895
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Sale Ryan Helsley from the Cardinals. That's a must have

896
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:10.800
<v Speaker 2>for me too. Would you rule out Josh Hater? The

897
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Astros are going nowhere. Money's no object, we know that.

898
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:19.920
<v Speaker 2>And how about Walker Buehler. The Red Socks are incomplete

899
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:25.599
<v Speaker 2>dysfunction right now, dysfunction. He signed a one year deal

900
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:28.360
<v Speaker 2>with the Red Sox. If he continues to prove that

901
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:33.519
<v Speaker 2>he's healthy, why wouldn't you consider Walker Buehler? Those are

902
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:38.400
<v Speaker 2>my three realistic trade targets. Chris Sale, Walker Bueller, and

903
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Helsley from the Cardinals. Eight six six nine eight

904
00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:44.239
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. And I

905
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:47.079
<v Speaker 2>understand if the Dodgers don't want to go back to

906
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Walker Buehler, but Chris Sale would be the guy. He

907
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:54.679
<v Speaker 2>would be the guy. And by the way, my guy

908
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Blake's now he better start pitching soon. The Dodgers need him.

909
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.119
<v Speaker 2>No more of this stuff. He better get back on

910
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that mound. I'm talking to you, snail Zilla right now.

911
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I am talking to you. I know you're listening. Let's

912
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.639
<v Speaker 2>go out to Caleb in bell You're on Dodger Talk.

913
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:11.559
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Caleb?

914
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Good? Good dad?

915
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:18.719
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, take you off speaker there, yeah, bell Flower, Actually.

916
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:20.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, Bellflower. Okay, gotcha?

917
00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:23.320
<v Speaker 12>Uh yeah, how you doing, man.

918
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing fine, we get it. We're doing great. You're

919
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:31.039
<v Speaker 2>in Bellflower. Your name is Caleb. You want to tell

920
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:34.159
<v Speaker 2>us where you were when Freddy Freeman hit his grand Slam?

921
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:38.320
<v Speaker 12>I do I do real quick fun fact to add

922
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:41.360
<v Speaker 12>onto your similarities between Freeman's and Gibson's.

923
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here we go, Caleb.

924
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:47.639
<v Speaker 12>I read that they were hit at exactly the same time.

925
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Too.

926
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there too. I forgot. I forgot whether or not

927
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:55.039
<v Speaker 2>that is accurate or not. But I am going to

928
00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:58.840
<v Speaker 2>double check that I had heard that. Is that a myth?

929
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Is that myth? Sounds like that's Babe Ruth pointing and

930
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:05.239
<v Speaker 2>calling you shot type of myth.

931
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:08.079
<v Speaker 9>Well, I don't know.

932
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:10.639
<v Speaker 12>We have to look into that. I know it's at

933
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:11.760
<v Speaker 12>eight thirty seven pm.

934
00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:14.320
<v Speaker 2>But one thing we can agree on is Aaron Judge

935
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.119
<v Speaker 2>clinked that fly ball in the fifth inning last year, right, Caleb.

936
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:19.440
<v Speaker 12>Oh, no doubt on that one.

937
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:23.280
<v Speaker 3>That was his moment, no doubt.

938
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:26.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, what do you got where you were? I

939
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:28.679
<v Speaker 2>want to hear where Caleb and Bellflower was?

940
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:30.320
<v Speaker 3>All right?

941
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:32.639
<v Speaker 12>Well, me and my son were actually at.

942
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:35.000
<v Speaker 2>The game, No way, that's great.

943
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:35.519
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

944
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:40.480
<v Speaker 12>We were sitting in Section twenty three reserve level, stayed

945
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.000
<v Speaker 12>for the whole thing as usual. We never we never

946
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.639
<v Speaker 12>dip out early to void traffic. I could care less.

947
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Caleb the game, Caleb low Key, Reserve twenty three is

948
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:54.159
<v Speaker 2>a great value seat, especially for a World Series.

949
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Man.

950
00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:56.960
<v Speaker 12>Oh, it was beautiful.

951
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Man.

952
00:48:57.159 --> 00:48:59.079
<v Speaker 12>We were right on the aisle. I mean we were right,

953
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:00.679
<v Speaker 12>you know, right above the base there.

954
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:02.679
<v Speaker 6>It was.

955
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:05.239
<v Speaker 12>It was one of the most I mean I mean,

956
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:09.519
<v Speaker 12>the best baseball moment ever in my life, first of all,

957
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:11.519
<v Speaker 12>and to share it with my son. He was nine

958
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:14.320
<v Speaker 12>years old at the time. I mean, it was just

959
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:18.320
<v Speaker 12>fantastic and and I just couldn't believe it. But as

960
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:21.239
<v Speaker 12>soon as he did it, it was like a like

961
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:24.159
<v Speaker 12>a just a silence where it came over the stadium.

962
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:28.599
<v Speaker 12>I still get goosebumps talking about it, but I'm doing

963
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:34.840
<v Speaker 12>it went from silence just to automatic just roar of

964
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:37.159
<v Speaker 12>the crowd, and I swear to god, nobody wanted to

965
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:40.280
<v Speaker 12>leave their seat for twenty minutes after that. We just

966
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:44.840
<v Speaker 12>all stood there in amazement, just watching, you know, cheering, hugging, whatever.

967
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:46.239
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

968
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:47.719
<v Speaker 12>The two fans that were next to me because they

969
00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:48.880
<v Speaker 12>were Yankee dance.

972
00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:59.159
<v Speaker 2>he was at that game with his dad. So awesome

973
