(03:14):
coming in early and coming in hot. The Prince of
Manhattan Beach. There is only one Eric Carrolls.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Eric Harris.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How long will his record as the most home run
hitting Los Angeles Dodger last?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, we hope and last.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You see him on Fox Sports because he kicks ass
FS one as well, and Spectrum Sports Net calling games.
One of my favorite guys. Whenever he cracks a mic,
always has a measured approach, but with a good touch
of humor, and he doesn't take himself too seriously, and
that's why we love Eric Carrolls. We haven't really explained
what this event is because.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't really know what it is. I appreciate that
you have been working a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's what we're doing all summer summer twenty four, drinking
mechi's and crabbings. Yeah, all right, Eric, you're always a
very optimistic guy, and you tell everybody to calm down
when great to see Eric when things are bad.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You know this guy last right?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh, he goes below the belt every time.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Last night?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Was it a one game thing or was it something
that showed a bunch of glaring problems with this Dodger team?
A rough loss to take and the way it happened?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Hey, the last I looked if if you were into
Vegas odds, the number one team, the team that has
the best odds to win the World Series, the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Right, and then after that you got Yankees and Phillies.
So yeah, no question, obviously frustrating and sure you'd like
to win games, you'd like to be playing better. I
would just say that I would What other team would
you take? If you got to choose one team the
rest of the way.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
To pick for the World Series? Who would you pick?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I take the Phillies.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
You take the Phillies.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
They are everything I wish the Dodgers were right now, No,
just the makeup of their team. Their rotation is really good,
their bullpen's really good. The Dodgers are very talented. But
if you heard Dodger Talk last night, Eric, which I'm
sure you're going to get to later.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think a podcaster usually like closet podcast.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So you know what I say is you taken the
Phillies because you just saw him and he played well.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You wanted to take a week ago. No, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
And by the way, that is true the Philly respectful
to our guest Day, the Phillies had not won a
series since they swept the Dodgers in Philadelphia up until
last night. The biggest difference in glaring part of the
Dodgers versus the Phillies is the eighth inning of last
night where Nick Castianos gets hit. He's screaming at Michael
Grove and Michael Grove didn't. I don't need him to
(05:59):
throw again it another Philly, but he's got to respond
to Castanos Instead, he looked like a deer in headlights.
And then Gavin Lux for the second time in a week,
was hit by a pitch and just stared at the
picture instead of doing something about it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So that's the biggest problem. Right.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So so what you're talking about then is you're you
don't like the way that they reacted, and.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So the town equal there. You have to admit that.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
There's there's something to be said about that, and you
can you can look at it and you can try
to analyze it, but then you also have to look
at it this way. So if I'm Grove and I
drill a guy, okay, another guy after costianis Dodgers are
coming up two more times?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Correct, one more time? Yeah, two, two more times.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
There's two more innings, right, So then it's target shooting
on Dodger hitters for the next traw time. And I
can promise you that Phillies guys, somebody's gonna do well.
You saw what happens straight, got luck right right, right?
So what I'm saying to you is it is it
worth it?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Right?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
There? Is it worth it?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I get. I'm just saying you can't just allow casting.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
What do you what do you ask?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
What are you telling Grove? Yeah, this is the big leagues, Nick,
get to first base. I'm screaming back at that guy
instead of just standing there shell shock that a big
leaguer is screaming at me, just like Dave wants more edge.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I well, I get the get I get to I
get the I get the discussion of that there you
want certain personalities added to this team.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I get that.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
And there was a lot of discussion of you know,
with a Tommy fam do something for this ball club.
And you know obviously that your reaction of I want
to yell at the guy, like dude, that's do something.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But the yelling thing was tired. That's tired, well screaming
at him.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
This is the big leagues, right, and guess and but
he knows that his guy is gonna drill somebody afterwards.
Like they know that, And you have to get into
that whole thing of like is it worth it and
what do you have to lose? And like I said,
the Dodgers have Dodgers already have been beset by injuries
and you've got target practice for two innings on there
those guys, and that's like you have to you have
(08:01):
to look at like they'll be there'll be a time,
and I think that they put that away. You want
the instant reaction and the best thing that they can
do right now. Look, they got other issues besides throwing
at somebody, right.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
They agree with that, but I mean Kyle Schwarber was
taking them to you know, hey, look at you going
to town.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I never moved his feet on So.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
That that that's something that you know that goes back
to Walker when he hit three home runs here. I
was commenting on that game and I said that that
is an issue. Well, thank you, pet and again I
did I tell you nice chiefs. So but going back
to that is like that that response rests on the
(08:41):
Dodger pitching staff. Yeah, you know that, you know those
back then with Walker, and again there's a time and
place for it and everything. And I guess the overall
frustration right now just with you know, the way things
are going and the team that play. So that's what
you want, Like I want him to yell at him
and I want somebody want to see some edge, which
I have not seen all season.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's too nice of a team.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
So that is Gotti saying, I'm sorry to the dugout
every time he fells.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There's not Freddy, there's no guys to first base.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
There's no question that the perception.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But but that is something that that is the composition
of this ball club.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
That's what the Phillies have over the Dodge. That's gonna
that's gonna allow them the Dodgers. So that means they're
going to win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, I mean, the talent level is equal and they
we're not.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
We're not having an m m A fight.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But I love their pitching. I love their pitching about
ten minutes. I love their superstars too. I love their
superstars and big moments.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
No, and I I get that, I get all that
you would take the Phillies. So all I'm saying is
that you're smarter than Vegas right now.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, well, if you were smarter in Vegas, they're trying
they're trying to right now. They're trying to sucker you
into betting on the Dodgers and Yankees.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It's all I'm saying is right now, that's how.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
They built the Balaji off people like Eric Carross.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
That's what I'm just saying, And that the Dodgers right
now to try to identify them or say that this
is what they are right now and this is what
they're going to be in two months from now, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
They're going to get Muncie and Tommy, Edmin and Mookie back.
But there that is not going to bring any edge
to the team. Tommy Edmund is not Tommy fam So.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Let me ask you something. You're you're You're I'm not
You're you're upset about all this, I'm right. So what
about Kopek at the at the end of the game,
why was he Why was.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Asking that?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'm asking you, do you believe that he has the makeup,
you know, within the next month or two to be
a guy that may do what you want done.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I don't know him well enough.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Okay, So so how can you make a judgment then
on this team doesn't have edge.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The only guy I know that has edge is Joe Kelly,
who isn't very good these days.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, so I understand that, but you don't know like
what Kopek has to offer. That's one hundred miles an hour,
so that's gonna be That's going to be some uneasiness.
So all I all I would say is that I
would just I reserve, you know, jumping off a cliff
right now.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm not jumping off any cliff. I'm just I've seen
this to it for the last two or three years,
jumping the same makeup.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
But pushing the team off the cliff.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
They're very talented there. They have a very good chance
of seeing the Phillies and the NLCS. And right now,
I believe the Phillies have a mental warfare advantage over
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So would you like to beat that out a six times?
Would you?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh? Here you go, now, let's bring back the eighty
eight Dodgers in the mouth. Yeah, you know, like I.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
All I'm saying is, would you like to make a
wager on that I'll take the Dogs, you take the Philly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
On from the topic that the topic the wag comes down.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I want Erik Carross to come to the San Fernando
Valley and join me and pay for a nice steak
dinner at Montes Steakhouse. I saw that coming because if
I just showed up in your backyard, that's not really
What do you want from me?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That's uh?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I want those those darn gift certificates from Travis Matthew.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
They you owe me.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know me about thirty and look at your all
ducked out and look who's using the certificates.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
These guys went life on. I'm not the guy.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Okay, we what what.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Here's another issue. We got another issue today. You want
to hear it?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You give this guy a mic and holy cal, I asked,
he's never coming back.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Okay, what do we got? All right?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Did you see the quotes from Mookie Bets today about
being booted out of the leadoff spot?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I have not, all right, don't ask it in such
a combative way. I was going to ask the question
in a much more You're so gentle and have such
great bedside man.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to see how I do it. Okay, let's
want to see how I do it?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You know, Eric, I come from the football and you
know there's only one football. The guy's got to throw
it to you or hand it to you. I mean,
there's only one football. But in a baseball team, everybody
gets to bat. What's this kerfuffle with Mookie? And oh Tommy,
what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I don't see that. That was nice? Thank you, that
was right. You're a trade perf for real? Which one
did you like more?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Me saying Mookie Betts has been booted out of the
leadof or do you like the football analogy from the
football guy?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
I like the football one, because yeah, like yours feels like.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Attacking, right, yeah, it was attacked.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Here.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Here's what I'd say about that is so that's just
that that's Mookie's response, and like, sure, I'd like to hit,
but it's not like he's coming in and go like, well,
I'm not gonna hit.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Second, I meant, you know, like, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Do you want to know the quote?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Did you give me the quote?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Like, I don't even quart.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I mean, I like that better than show Hey bets
quipped Wednesday. There's nothing really you can say whatever show
Hay says goes and after that we kind of fall
in line.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
So I don't know if he was using that alliteration
movie like, I mean, I I think you throwing that
in there.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
My guess is Mookie's like, yeah, whatever, like if he
wants showing he wasn't like that, you know, well whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I remember in twenty twenty, he was not happy when
they let off Monthcie instead of him, and once they
put him in lead off, that's when the twenty twenty
season took off with him and Corey Seeger. He was
an MVP before you got in the leadoff spot.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like, with all due respect to Max and the thirty
five home runs a year. He's done four times uh
max months. He should not be leading off over Mookie back.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I agree so like that that I can even Stephen
Wonder could see that back that I would be.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Upset, But so like here right now, it's just like
the look at I think right now that all you
have to do is give this team, you know, the
next month, month and a half, and if you're still
having the same issues and you still have, this thing's
gonna iron itself out.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
They haven't had a complete team.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
This is not this is not what you're gonna have
in in September, the October.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Who cares if you have in two weeks? I mean,
do I know do the playoffs starting two weeks.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I'm just saying, in two weeks, the team is going
to look different than what it does right now.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Jack, just for a moment, the great Eric Carrols is here,
of Eric Karros. I get excited every.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Time around to the people, you know, when we were like,
you know, there was a lot of events like this
in the off season, not like this, but you know,
the Otani press conference, the Yamamoto press conference, all the
celebration of what the season was going to be.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Like.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
If I told you it was they were going to
be right here where they are right now back then
would it surprise you?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
You know, I'm surprised, there's no question. But I don't
think I anticipated all of the injuries. And you can
sit here and go like, oh, yeah, well every team
has injuries, no question, but there have been a lot
of things. Look at I thought if you would have
asked me in spring training, I would have said, look
at your dark horse number one ace guy that is
(15:35):
going to just surprise everybody is going to be Bobby Miller.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
I would have said that.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
So that's where I was, and that you know, I
don't even know if he's going to be pitching up
here again.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Right, You have the injuries to guys.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Look at all that being said, I would still say,
look at Vegas.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Still thinks these guys are the top team to win
the World Series.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
And I get that, you know, look at a lot
of things get but I but all I'm gonna say
is that it's it's dire right now because of the
last twenty four hours, right, and they win three games
this weekend, then everybody's gonna be like, oh now that,
look at they're coming back and Mookie's coming right back,
and look at we're getting our lineup and months he's
coming back, and Yamamoto's throwing bullpens, and you know, Dave's
(16:20):
gonna be going Like I knew this team was great.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
These guys are great.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Oh man, You know the facts are this smells like
nineteen ninety seven when Brian Johnson beat the Dodgers on
the final day of the season. To tell Marte and
the Arizona Diamondbacks are just three games back of the
Dodgers right now?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Does it smell like ninety sevens All.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I'm gonna say is that do you feel like? So
the Diamondbacks have been on real tory level, has done
a great job. I think they're getting regulately the best
arguably the best team in baseball?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
What since the end of June?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Right, is that going to continue?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
They are getting hell now, is that gonna it will?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Really?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
It will because they also are getting healthy. They also
have talented players.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Right, But teams are gonna go on runs like the
Phillies just went on a stretch where they were horrible.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Right, Diamondbacks had theirs they were like seven or eight.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But they're going to continue the next two month.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I believe they are.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Holy cow, dude, you got the when's the tooth Fairy coming?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Let's put a we quote you a lot here.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
That's I mean, they're good, There's no question.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They're really good. But October is happening in July. Right now,
in August, right, we gonna.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Start telling me about Blake Snell too, Right, who.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Would you rather have Blake Snell or Yoshi Amao right now? Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You said on a broadcast not long ago that without
control you can take Vello to the carnival. Yea, And
we've been saying that, uh every day. I just got
a text Petros from Oral herscheizer. Yeah, let's let's talk.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
We just got a text them. Joe Davis when it
comes to.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Oral said, oh for real, text him Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Uh, he was really offended over that. Er, your boys are.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Dealing in the minors. We at least Jared was, and
they put him on the developmental list. And Kyle's in
the Rocky system. What's the what's the update with the Carrols.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
So the update is Jared is in double A and
was absolutely lightning on fire.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Had uh had a little bit of a setback. Was
was throwing.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
A new pitch and uh so then he's been down.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
He's working his way back. He's in Arizona.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
He should be hopefully out and about in another week
or so.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
So that's good news.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And the other one, Kyle is in uh high A
with the Rockies and he is uh he's still in Spokane,
and I I, well, no, no, no, leading the league
I think in every single category except runs and hitting
home runs, RBIs ops, on base percentage, slugging, I don't
even know, like every that's.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Not far from Cordelaine for you.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
No, he's no, you're right, and that's yeah, living there
living the life of a minor league or living in
that house and playing minor league ball.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
So all good in the Carrol's household. Yes, thank you
for asking.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Are you gonna fight with Dave some more? Or you
can go no?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I like no, no, because Dave's challenging, he's got good points.
Like I I I completely agree from the outside looking in,
and I totally get the whole edge thing. I get that,
like if I'm a fan, I so so again, in
a in a in a brawl or something, who's leading
that charge?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
And you're right, it's probably Joe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Right, yeah, Joe Kelly, it's it's it's anyways one and
fifteen pounds. He's the position player leading it.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, right, No, and there is no they're guys in there,
guys in there. There's no question about it. But it's
it's just they don't exude that to.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Every one of us. They're not the you know, they're
not the vocal.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
But I can't we doing Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Here's something for you.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I was like, God, that, okay, here's something fair to
bring up to you because you were in this spot
when you played, and you know, you had a lot
of success with the Dodgers, Mike Piazza those teams. But
some of the critics would say, you guys never had
a real leader or an emotional leader on that team.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
So I guess what I would I guess that's the
critical What I would stay. What I would say is
so I I I'd look back on that. I'd say, well,
what we didn't have is a veteran presence. We had
no veteran presence. We were all young guys. This team
has veteran presence.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I would say that again.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
This group, it's it's just not a very animated. But
that doesn't mean they don't care. It doesn't mean they're
not going to go to the wall. That doesn't mean
And if you feel that, look at you'd like to
see it, Like as a fan, I would like to see,
you know, some edge.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I would like to see, like you said, the yelling
and what.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
But I also remember too, is you know, down there
playing on the field, there was a time to do
things and not do things.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And you know, look at hey, look at what we had.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
We had guys go over to other clubhouses, you know,
after a game, go into you know, so it's like
those sort of things that you know, you don't know
what goes on.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
And but I will say I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
There's two times that you know, there have been three
home runs Walker and Schwarber, and you know, people were
pretty well anchored in in.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
The Yeah, that's a great they were anchored in in
the in the batter's box. I agree.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
What did you think of Kingman's performance?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Can I just clarify that the Dodgers have guys like
Freddie Freeman, Mookie Bets and all these guys that come
out and do early work.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
They're the most prepared team out there.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That put in a lot of work that's a lot
different than what I'm describing as far as edge.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
You're when you say edge, that's not a quantifiable characteristic.
It's not and and and Philly is taken on. It's
you know, you take it takes on the fan base,
the city.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Harper, Harper, Harper has created that.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But you also have again the makeup of those guys
are guys that have been you know, like Schwarber, let
go by the Cubs and like, you can't do it.
So there's a chip there. There's a chip with Costianos. Okay,
there's a chip with Alec Bohm, like all those guys. Right, So,
like all of those guys, you know that that's not
something that you just arbitrarily manufacture. You've got you know,
(22:21):
it's it's got to come deep from within. And that's
the way Dave Dombrowski has created that team. That that's
a point of emphasis for him, right, And that's not
the way all clubs are created. And right now they're
playing well, they're super talented. And look, we can talk
Edge all you want. The pitching staff is sick, the
starting staff is crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And that's really been the difference for the Dodgers in
the last eleven games, starting pitching just has not been
able to go deep into the game consistently. If you
look at the number of innings relievers and starters have
pitched the last eleven games, the starters have only pitched
eleven more innings.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
And again, I will say, all that being said, if
I had to pick it team right now to say, like,
who am I gonna grab, I'm gonna I'm gonna still grab.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
The Dodge Phillies are right there. You could, you could
flip a coin. But the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Braves just got swept by the Brewers. They're done. Stick
a fork in there.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
They're not. Oh my goodness, great August totally. Man. Your
kids self confidence gotta be just great.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Your kids just gotta just have no confidence once bring
them to.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The real world.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
The great Eric Carrolls, there's nobody better. He's gonna be
here all night. Nothing he does tonight is gonna be interview.
What's your booth here at the all access the kissing both.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
No, yeah, I'm gonna be around for a couple of hours,
and I'm gonna be over in the couple of hours.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
One hour. He thanks you, guys check them on.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We're having dinner and dinner the great baseball man, the
Great Eric Carrolls.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
There's nobody better.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Gosh, it's like we let Vassa out of a pan
like a crazy pit bully.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay, we still have Carrols was my favorite player growing up.
He can't excited because he was mine. I was in
high school.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You know that Piazza got called up, and then Piazza
was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
My dad would say, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
He's Greek, and I'd say yeah, And then when he
saw Eric, he goes, you're Greek, and he goes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
That's a heartbreaking for my father. All Right, we'll be
back with more great sports doc. We are live from
the Dodgers All Access event.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Vassa will explain. We also have Sean Green joining us
later this hour. Is vass going to attack his nutsack
like you did Carols? We'll find out.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Petros tone has been set. David Vasse set a real
tone on the microphone.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
The Petrosen Money Show is live on five seventy l
A sparks from center right field at Dodger Stadium. Why
we're on the dirt track, The warning track here, David
Vass in the house, and of course Karrosris joined us
in the very last segment for a spirited debate about
(25:05):
Dodger baseball that ended with a lot of camaraderie and hugs.
And now we continue. Sean Green is going to join us.
We're going to be here all the way until seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And what is this, Dave? What are we at?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
This isn't the Gala, No, because that's Super Boogie.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You're not invited to that.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
But it's not the Fanfast, which is like everybody's invited, right,
So what are we doing out here?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
What is the all Access event?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It's an annual event here at Dodgers Stadium going back
ten years, Petros that is benefiting the LA Sports and
Entertainment Commission. The President is going to be here and
can't wait to see Kathy Schlossman, who has put on
this great event in conjunction with the Dodgers. So that's
what this event is about. We got the LA Dodger
Foundation over there near the third base line of silent
(25:56):
auction going on. We got Astuya Jalisco to our left here.
I know you like that, So we're a modello show,
but it's not Monday. It's an intimate setting here at
Dodger Stadium, the Dodger All Access. The Lakers do it
as well during the NBA season and it benefits the
LA Sports and Entertainment Commission.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
So what type of people are here for this event?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Passionate LA sports fans that no people to link to,
click on a link.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
To somebody, somebody that can plug me into the social pipeline.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's the type of person that's here.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, and John Harttengue, you see where that backdrop is
that says Dodgers All Access with all the dinner tables.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So he'll be around the front of that.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, he'll be interviewing somebody over there during dinner, which
happens when this show ends.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So our promotions department is here.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
It feels like a KFI show, you know, because there's
literally like nine people here to do nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
They're propping up that table.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They're here and they're all like they were all like
wilting flowers in the sun. And then I don't know
what happened this this this lovely young lady that runs
the mile at Berkeley showed up a beautiful right on
all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Everybody's like, hold on.
Speaker 1 (27:01):

a Friday night over here.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Three to two to one. Bring up Top Dog. We
did talk about top Dog. Well, she runs a mile
of town.
Speaker 1 (27:11):

a top Dog and she loves top Dog?
Speaker 2 (27:14):

It's not looking at Petrose. What about a harball? You
want to run through a wall for harball?
Speaker 5 (27:51):

Speaker 2 (28:55):

Speaker 1 (28:57):
And you're Southern California Toyota dealers. Did visit your local dealers?
D yes to Toyota.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Do we got Pirates Dodgers tickets for Saturday? He said that, Paul,
let's go, Nah.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'll have real people there to clap tomorrow. Okay, we're fine,
everything's wrong, Uh, Dave, before we move on, Uh, you're
a little fired up about last night and the way
things are with the Dodger team. We'll have another couple hours,
two tree hours, as Matt would say to uh, to
iron that out like a woman with a botox face
and one of those rollers.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But before we get any further, I heard you're very
upset with Victor Brick. Yes, I could not you hear
about this. Now, Look, Vic's gonna start texting you and
get all crazy. We can't put vicome.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Well, Petros, I was blindsided here at Dodgers Stadium during
betting practice. Heard about there, called me over a loyal listener.
A lot of people are very upset about it. I
believe his name was Frank the Mailman, and he said, hey,
Victor Brick, I couldn't believe it to bend ma side yesterday.
And I said, what, really are you sure? He said, yeah,
but Petros, some money they had your back. I said, wow, Vic,
(30:10):
take that samurai sword out of my back. Well, after
taking Ben Maller's side, Well, I think that's an underdog
race right there, that you're not going to win.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It confuses a lot of people around here, Dave, because
you know, I mean, most people see you as a
flourishing Dodger reporter, a guy that does you know, facetimes
with Blake Snell right before he throws a no hitter,
A guy that can step to Eric Carross and face
him down like high noon, right at three o'clock on
the Petro and Money Show. What do you what is this?
(30:40):
What is this problem with Ben Maler? What is the
what is the origin of this rivalry or insult fight?
How serious is it? It seems like you guys really
don't like each other. What gifts Dave?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I don't know Ben is he's always been a very
jealous person. Just be honest. I'm telling you that's the
root of it. He's a very jealous and envious person.
He's jealous of your position with the Dodge, very much so.
Because he had a short stint with the Dodgers. Really,
what it comes down to do with the Dodgers. He
used to be here every night he did Dodger Talk
with Ross porter for about six months. But see, this
(31:17):
is the problem. Ben Maller's Dodger teams were not successful,
so he did not enjoy the fruits of the same
success that I have enjoyed since the Dodgers and Guggenheim
took over when they came over to AM five seventy
LA Sports with twenty twelve. So he's very jealous that
the Dodgers now are as good as they've ever been.
(31:39):
And I'm the host of Dodger Talk and he's just
an overnight guy.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Why was he unable to hold the Dodger Wait, well,
he does a great show.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
He does. He does a great show. I love Ben.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
What what was How long did he hold the Dodger
Talk show?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Why?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Six months? Why was it? Well, that's not even a
full season. No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
What came in in the middle of the season, finished
out the season, And I'm not quite sure what happened.
I feel like he went to the middays and he
was rewarded with the way that he hosted and handled
Dodger Talk. So he went to the midday show and
had a very successful run there with his partner Ben
(32:18):
and Dave Show.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I remember that.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
You know, he's still I mean, honestly, he does a
great job for three or four hours. And I'm not
saying this in a condescending way. But middle of the
night sports talk radio, you've got to be entertaining, and
he is.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yes, very much so, no doubt about that. All right.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I got a text here on the secret text also
line brought to you by your Southern California Toyota dealers,
that says, are you guys taking calls today? And the
answer is no, the show is not taking calls. You
don't want to kick anybody out of la Am I correct, No, Am,
I correct, Kates. We're not taking calls today, right, No,
it's too hot and I'm too angry to be here.
(32:58):
But in the very next segment, I believe Sean Green's
gonna come around, and if not, we'll start having Dave
attack the Dodgers like he was with attacking them, Well,
attack the performance, Petros.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I feel like this show is very similar to the
twenty twenty four Dodgers. This show has lost its edge.
I'm here to bring the edge back, lost its hedge? Yeah,
what do you talk? This show is too nice, just
like the Dodgers. You've lost your edge. You're a father
of two, you're well adjusted now in regular social life,
We're on a yacht with your friends every other week.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I think you have me confused at the show before us.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Okay, we'll be right back. A big thank you to
David Vasse for coming out. No thanks to Vic for
backstabbing me. Vic the brick, I can't believe that. Yeah,
he took Ben Maller's side. I'll remember that.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Vic.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Well, you know how Vick is. He likes to roll
with the new. You know, he's a real new jack hustler.
Here comes Sean Green. Look at him.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Oh look, Mary tranquill, very zen, just like he has
always been.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Great guy. Better get to break so we can talk
to him. In the next segment. Sean Green cracking everybody
and welcome back the one and only Petro send Money
Show on a five seventy LA Sports. Yeah, the show's podcastable,
but we do it live right here. We'll do it
live short Dodgers Station. We hear at the all Access
(34:20):
event where cool people show up like Eric Carrols and
our guest right now, Dave. One of our favorite Dodgers
of all time, Sean Green. The last time we saw
him he came out to one of our events at
the Slide Bar in Fullerton, which is now closed. They
closed it. They closed to the guy left. The guy
(34:41):
with the beard from the band lit Petro. So full
circle on Ben Maller. Ben Maller and I drove down
to the Ritz Carlton and Dana Point for the Sean
Green introductory press conference when he was traded to the Dodgers.
So Ben Meller and I on better terms back then
than we are right now in the Great Green wearing
his familiar number fifteen jersey. He wears that everywhere he
(35:04):
goes outside of the house. It's joining us right now
the Petros and Money show. Great to see you, Yeah,
great to see you.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
I knew you wouldn't recognize me, so I had, But
so you were there day one?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Were you?
Speaker 6 (35:13):
How old were you then?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
When in nine? Yeah? Twenty two?
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Okay, yeah, you're just thank you, Petro. That young annoying
kid in the corner right that was that was exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Do you feel like I've changed since you first met me?
Speaker 6 (35:27):
You cooled out a lot, You cooled out, you were scared.
I was telling Petros in the beginning, you'd be around
the clubhus You're always super nice, best guy, chittering, but
you was, Yeah, you see your knees knocking anytime. But
you definitely. Now you're the man here.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Sean Green's locker was deep inside the old Dodger Stadium
locker room, so you really had to have some kahonas
to go deep swimming in the deep end there with
the big boys like Sean Green. So I would hang
out around Trinidad Hubbard and Dave Hansen before I got
some courage to come to Sean Green's end.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Yeah, yeah, no, that was that was the beautiful locker room,
the old Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Remember you left me to cleats and you said, here,
take these cleats of mine, and I was so scared
to take them because I was just started. I said,
I can't take cleats or autographs.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Some players you smuggle them out.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Some No, somebody took them. You said, I'm gonna leave
them here by my chair. And the next day I
came somebody swiped them. Maybe it was bones.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Yeah, no, they always they always smell bats. If I
didn't like someone, I said, just take the cleets. I
liked you, I gave you, you know, a bat or
batting those, but I gave you the cleats.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Are you in the Tustin High School Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
That's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I don't think you are.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
And they're putting Deshan Foster in the Hall of Fame
like this week because the head coach at u c
l A.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Yeah, yeah, the Tillers, Yeah, I know, the Killers, right,
the Tillers. Yeah, we had Mark Grace.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Well, what what's going on? When are we gonna have
a thing?
Speaker 6 (36:44):
If Mark Grace is in there and Dave Stayton and
Heath Bell all big league guys and I'm not, then
I'll they'll have a bone to pick. But Deshaun, you know, he's.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
He was one of the great running backs of the
history of the state of California.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Without doubt about questions. I'll tell you I went back.
This was the first game I went back to watch
and it was him versus Carson Palmer in the.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
CIA, Santa Margarita versus Tustin, and it was like public private.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
It was like sixty three to sixty. No one could
stop anybody. It was pretty fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Speaking of your high school days, how's your dad, Ira Green?
Who was Freddie Freeman's high school coach?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
You went to that ceremony day? I did not go,
Freddie thought I did because I posted a picture.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
I agreed. Or Freddie Freeman who went in to the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
No, well, Freddie Freeman revamped the clubhouse at Elmodena High School.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Maybe that's what you gotta do, Sean, you got to react.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
I definitely did something back in the day. But I
don't know. Can you have to worry about that?
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Since Freddie's been in the news obviously with the unfortunate
illness to his son, Max, can you remind all of
us just the connection between your father, Ira Green and
Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah, so about the time I was planning for the
first came over the doctors. My parents had a batting
facility in near Tustin, Anaheim, that area, and he was
a local kid and started taking lessons from my dad,
and you know, I'd go in the offseason. A lot
of guys would go and who lived in the area
and hit there. And he was a kid hanging around
and you know, kind of geeking over all the big
(38:07):
league guys, and you know, we talked to him a
little bit, and you know, it could could tell back
then even that he had a really good swing and
had the obviously the desire and you know, couldn't be
happier for where he is today and all he's done
in his career and you know, thank god, things are
starting to prove at home.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
When he was that age, I mean now he talks
about even during the offseason when his dad throws some
batting practice, he does not put anybody in right field
because all he's trying to do is hit it to
center field and left field.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Did you see that back then?
Speaker 3 (38:38):
And is that anything similar to what you tried to
do when you were a player?
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, And I would imagine my dad had an impact
on that approach because that was always my approach and
that was, you know, something that my dad instilled in
me early on. And then as I you know, kind
of my career got going and I kind of figured
things out and learned from other great hitters ahead of me,
like Tony Fernandez and Carl Stoke got on all these
guys than some of those philosophies only were only instilled
(39:06):
in even deeper and you know, enhanced upon. And so
I'd share that with my dad, and I'm sure Freddy
was was it beneficiary of though, Silver.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Slugger All Star so many great things, the great Seawan Green,
but not in the Tustin Taylor Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's got to change. That's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Just because DeShawn became the head coach, all of a sudden,
they're gonna put him in the Hall of Fame. We're
gonna forget about Sean Green.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
We can't. But that's as story for another day.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
Is it go?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Fund?
Speaker 6 (39:32):
When you're starting right now?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
You were just at the Hall of Fame for Beltra, right,
I was now, you know, in the football Hall of Fame. Okay,
the football Hall of Fame it's great, and the college
football Hall of Fame. But then the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It's just there's something about it that feels different, something
about the mid the history, the American identity.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
What was it like? Was it like you thought it
would be?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Yeah? So I had only been there for less than
twenty four hours. When I was with the Blue Jays,
they used to have the Hall of Fame game, so
we played against the Ori there, flew in the night before,
played the game, and flew out, So didn't really get
to see much of the museum. And even this time,
it was so much going on for Beltray and the
others that I didn't really get to walk through as
much as I would have liked, but I was blown
(40:15):
away really by the whole town, the lakes, beautiful, the
you know, just the architecture, the brick and stone and
all that stuff. And then you go in there and
you see the you know, the amazing history of baseball
and a lot of the greatest living players you know,
were in attendance. Some couldn't make it. There was actually
the whole flight situation was going on. Oh yeah, lockout,
(40:35):
so a couple guys like Wade Bogs and Page Martinez
flights got canceled. Actually, Josevis Gaino, who's really close with
Beltray and was our teammate in two thousand, he was
on a plane. He was two minutes from taking off
at nine thirty pm, and all of a sudden he
is on the plane at three thirty pm. They hadn't moved.
He gets off the plane, takes a train to Orange
(40:55):
County and flies out of Orange County and gets there
just in time. So it was it was a kind
of a crazy weekend. But yeah, just being there and
seeing you know, you just feel the history of the game.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I was blown away that Adrian Beltray, despite him having
a lot of success with other teams that he invited
you and still in his speech mentioned the Dodger years
and when you were in Cooperstown. Alex Cora was here
with the Red Sox and he was explaining to us
on the pregame show that you meant a lot to
(41:29):
Beltray and you were a big reason why things clicked
in O four for him.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
Well, I appreciate him saying that. And you know, Beltray
was an incredible teammate, the best. You can't you can't
ask for a more perfect team. And not only on
the field where he was, you know, the best all
round player. When you throw on the defensive tough position,
nothing up by him at third base. Offensively, you know,
things really clicked his last season in LA But in
the clubhouse he's you know, it's I think when you
(41:54):
have a Spanish speaking player that speaks great English and
kind of pulls the whole team together as opposed to
the Spanish being guys are here, the English being guys
over here. He pulls everyone together, and I think that
year is it was great. He also helped me a
lot because I got kind of thrust at first base
after playing my whole career in the outfield and I
had him Alex Cora and his tourres, you know, this
incredible defense to kind of make sure they were making
(42:16):
things easy for me at first base. But yeah, we
you know, it all clicked for Beltray. He you know,
he was wanted to learn, he wanted to get the
impact or the input from older players, and it just
all kind of came together.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Petros, being the football rooted guy that he is, I
think would appreciate this story. Sean Alex mentioned this as well,
and I remember a shy kid reporting watching you guys
from Afar during batting practice. I wasn't sure what was
going on, but there was a competition that you guys had,
and he said that was some of the funnest times
you had as teammates in batting practice.
Speaker 6 (42:53):
Yeah, that was great. So I learned that this sort
of happened accidentally in Toronto where Carlos Togato and I
just started kind of messing and we do a kind
of an opposite field center field, kind of like Freddy
Freeman to the opposite field, and you had a different
points depending how far you hit it, and it got
pretty heated, and that's when I started learning how to
hit home runs. Some you just practice it and it happens.
(43:14):
And so I did the same thing with Beltray, and
he was he was crushing me every day. I mean
he was. That was the year at forty eight home
runs and hit three thirty or whatever he hit. But
you know, I think with guys who are extra had
that extra layer of competition, competitive nature, which Beltray does
and did. I think he really gravitated towards it. And
(43:34):
and we were all we'd be done with batting, practic,
sweating bullets soaked, whereas you know, a lot of people
are just kind of going through the motions, taking easy swings,
but we were. We were dead serious. And they even
set a line every day on who was going to
win and what the win was like, was gonna be
the over under how many home runs?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
And it was.
Speaker 6 (43:49):
It was pretty fun, like a surf report exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
So awesome. Those were great teams, Petro said.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
I know they did not have the success of other teams,
but if they would have been left alone and Beltray
and Dave Roberts not allowed to leave, and Sean Green
as well, if they would have added some pitching, they
would have been in the World Series within two or
three years, right, Sean.
Speaker 6 (44:11):
Yeah, I mean it was you look at those years.
We had, you know, the Diamondbacks who won the World Series.
The Giants the next year are in the World Series.
You know, we had Bonds and Ken San Francisco and
some good pitchers. We had, you know, Randy and Kurt Shilling.
The Rockies could hit, and San Diego always played us tough.
So it was a really tough division at the time.
(44:31):
And like you said, I think we were maybe one
starting pitcher away, maybe one more bad at different different
seasons away from really doing something.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
What's your secret, Sean? Why are you so healthy? You're
doing yoga on the beach or surfing?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
What's it?
Speaker 6 (44:43):
I'm not doing either. No, I like to golf lot No,
you know what I golf showed up.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, ask him how coach is going to do this year?
Speaker 6 (44:53):
He's in great shape. Yeah, he does yoga.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
You're type of guy I need.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
I need to get back into. That actually was the
in the day because I work out and my shoulders
kill me. So I realized I need to stop doing
some of the you know, benchhit. You're getting too swollen, Yeah, polls,
I'm not too swollen. Too too broke to broke arthritis.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Would you guess that Petros does yoga or would you say.
Speaker 6 (45:13):
I would say yoga. I like the shirt though, it
definitely feels no shot, right, it feels very Hawaii's n ish.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
I guess thank you. Yes, that's me, Hawaii is ish.
Speaker 6 (45:21):
I think you lost weight from last year.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah, that's good, you did? I see you call me
slim when he sucks Slim.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
He had a score for you, Santa Margarita fifty five.
That day tust In forty two, Carson Palmer completed nineteen
and thirty passes for a school record four hundred and
thirteen yards.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
And five touchdowns. How about that? How about that?
Speaker 1 (45:41):
And DeShawn had three hundred and seventy eight yards us
God and all six tailor touchdowns and one hundred and
thirty nine yards in a quarter. You went to one
of the great high school football games. No wonder you
remember it? Yeah, Sean, God bless you man. Have a
great night, and thank you so much for coming out.
You're always a class act.
Speaker 6 (45:58):

down at Disneyland. And now there's a couple left. Well,
look at all these seeds. Dude, dude, we're in trouble here.

How long will his record as the most home run

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, we hope and last.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You see him on Fox Sports because he kicks ass
FS one as well, and Spectrum Sports Net calling games.
One of my favorite guys. Whenever he cracks a mic,
always has a measured approach, but with a good touch
of humor, and he doesn't take himself too seriously, and
that's why we love Eric Carrolls. We haven't really explained
what this event is because.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't really know what it is. I appreciate that
you have been working a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's what we're doing all summer summer twenty four, drinking
mechi's and crabbings. Yeah, all right, Eric, you're always a
very optimistic guy, and you tell everybody to calm down
when great to see Eric when things are bad.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You know this guy last right?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh, he goes below the belt every time.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Last night?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Was it a one game thing or was it something
that showed a bunch of glaring problems with this Dodger team?
A rough loss to take and the way it happened?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Hey, the last I looked if if you were into
Vegas odds, the number one team, the team that has
the best odds to win the World Series, the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Right, and then after that you got Yankees and Phillies.
So yeah, no question, obviously frustrating and sure you'd like
to win games, you'd like to be playing better. I
would just say that I would What other team would
you take? If you got to choose one team the
rest of the way.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
To pick for the World Series? Who would you pick?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I take the Phillies.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
You take the Phillies.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
They are everything I wish the Dodgers were right now, No,
just the makeup of their team. Their rotation is really good,
their bullpen's really good. The Dodgers are very talented. But
if you heard Dodger Talk last night, Eric, which I'm
sure you're going to get to later.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think a podcaster usually like closet podcast.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So you know what I say is you taken the
Phillies because you just saw him and he played well.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You wanted to take a week ago. No, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
And by the way, that is true the Philly respectful
to our guest Day, the Phillies had not won a
series since they swept the Dodgers in Philadelphia up until
last night. The biggest difference in glaring part of the
Dodgers versus the Phillies is the eighth inning of last
night where Nick Castianos gets hit. He's screaming at Michael
Grove and Michael Grove didn't. I don't need him to
(05:59):
throw again it another Philly, but he's got to respond
to Castanos Instead, he looked like a deer in headlights.
And then Gavin Lux for the second time in a week,
was hit by a pitch and just stared at the
picture instead of doing something about it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So that's the biggest problem. Right.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So so what you're talking about then is you're you
don't like the way that they reacted, and.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So the town equal there. You have to admit that.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
There's there's something to be said about that, and you
can you can look at it and you can try
to analyze it, but then you also have to look
at it this way. So if I'm Grove and I
drill a guy, okay, another guy after costianis Dodgers are
coming up two more times?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Correct, one more time? Yeah, two, two more times.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
There's two more innings, right, So then it's target shooting
on Dodger hitters for the next traw time. And I
can promise you that Phillies guys, somebody's gonna do well.
You saw what happens straight, got luck right right, right?
So what I'm saying to you is it is it
worth it?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Right?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
There? Is it worth it?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I get. I'm just saying you can't just allow casting.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
What do you what do you ask?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
What are you telling Grove? Yeah, this is the big leagues, Nick,
get to first base. I'm screaming back at that guy
instead of just standing there shell shock that a big
leaguer is screaming at me, just like Dave wants more edge.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I well, I get the get I get to I
get the I get the discussion of that there you
want certain personalities added to this team.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I get that.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
And there was a lot of discussion of you know,
with a Tommy fam do something for this ball club.
And you know obviously that your reaction of I want
to yell at the guy, like dude, that's do something.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But the yelling thing was tired. That's tired, well screaming
at him.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
This is the big leagues, right, and guess and but
he knows that his guy is gonna drill somebody afterwards.
Like they know that, And you have to get into
that whole thing of like is it worth it and
what do you have to lose? And like I said,
the Dodgers have Dodgers already have been beset by injuries
and you've got target practice for two innings on there
those guys, and that's like you have to you have
(08:01):
to look at like they'll be there'll be a time,
and I think that they put that away. You want
the instant reaction and the best thing that they can
do right now. Look, they got other issues besides throwing
at somebody, right.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
They agree with that, but I mean Kyle Schwarber was
taking them to you know, hey, look at you going
to town.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I never moved his feet on So.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
That that that's something that you know that goes back
to Walker when he hit three home runs here. I
was commenting on that game and I said that that
is an issue. Well, thank you, pet and again I
did I tell you nice chiefs. So but going back
to that is like that that response rests on the
(08:41):
Dodger pitching staff. Yeah, you know that, you know those
back then with Walker, and again there's a time and
place for it and everything. And I guess the overall
frustration right now just with you know, the way things
are going and the team that play. So that's what
you want, Like I want him to yell at him
and I want somebody want to see some edge, which
I have not seen all season.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's too nice of a team.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
So that is Gotti saying, I'm sorry to the dugout
every time he fells.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There's not Freddy, there's no guys to first base.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
There's no question that the perception.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But but that is something that that is the composition
of this ball club.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
That's what the Phillies have over the Dodge. That's gonna
that's gonna allow them the Dodgers. So that means they're
going to win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, I mean, the talent level is equal and they
we're not.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
We're not having an m m A fight.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But I love their pitching. I love their pitching about
ten minutes. I love their superstars too. I love their
superstars and big moments.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
No, and I I get that, I get all that
you would take the Phillies. So all I'm saying is
that you're smarter than Vegas right now.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, well, if you were smarter in Vegas, they're trying
they're trying to right now. They're trying to sucker you
into betting on the Dodgers and Yankees.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It's all I'm saying is right now, that's how.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
They built the Balaji off people like Eric Carross.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
That's what I'm just saying, And that the Dodgers right
now to try to identify them or say that this
is what they are right now and this is what
they're going to be in two months from now, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
They're going to get Muncie and Tommy, Edmin and Mookie back.
But there that is not going to bring any edge
to the team. Tommy Edmund is not Tommy fam So.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Let me ask you something. You're you're You're I'm not
You're you're upset about all this, I'm right. So what
about Kopek at the at the end of the game,
why was he Why was.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Asking that?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'm asking you, do you believe that he has the makeup,
you know, within the next month or two to be
a guy that may do what you want done.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I don't know him well enough.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Okay, So so how can you make a judgment then
on this team doesn't have edge.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The only guy I know that has edge is Joe Kelly,
who isn't very good these days.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, so I understand that, but you don't know like
what Kopek has to offer. That's one hundred miles an hour,
so that's gonna be That's going to be some uneasiness.
So all I all I would say is that I
would just I reserve, you know, jumping off a cliff
right now.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm not jumping off any cliff. I'm just I've seen
this to it for the last two or three years,
jumping the same makeup.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
But pushing the team off the cliff.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
They're very talented there. They have a very good chance
of seeing the Phillies and the NLCS. And right now,
I believe the Phillies have a mental warfare advantage over
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So would you like to beat that out a six times?
Would you?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh? Here you go, now, let's bring back the eighty
eight Dodgers in the mouth. Yeah, you know, like I.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
All I'm saying is, would you like to make a
wager on that I'll take the Dogs, you take the Philly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
On from the topic that the topic the wag comes down.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I want Erik Carross to come to the San Fernando
Valley and join me and pay for a nice steak
dinner at Montes Steakhouse. I saw that coming because if
I just showed up in your backyard, that's not really
What do you want from me?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That's uh?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I want those those darn gift certificates from Travis Matthew.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
They you owe me.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know me about thirty and look at your all
ducked out and look who's using the certificates.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
These guys went life on. I'm not the guy.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Okay, we what what.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Here's another issue. We got another issue today. You want
to hear it?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You give this guy a mic and holy cal, I asked,
he's never coming back.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Okay, what do we got? All right?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Did you see the quotes from Mookie Bets today about
being booted out of the leadoff spot?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I have not, all right, don't ask it in such
a combative way. I was going to ask the question
in a much more You're so gentle and have such
great bedside man.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to see how I do it. Okay, let's
want to see how I do it?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You know, Eric, I come from the football and you
know there's only one football. The guy's got to throw
it to you or hand it to you. I mean,
there's only one football. But in a baseball team, everybody
gets to bat. What's this kerfuffle with Mookie? And oh Tommy,
what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I don't see that. That was nice? Thank you, that
was right. You're a trade perf for real? Which one
did you like more?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Me saying Mookie Betts has been booted out of the
leadof or do you like the football analogy from the
football guy?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
I like the football one, because yeah, like yours feels like.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Attacking, right, yeah, it was attacked.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Here.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Here's what I'd say about that is so that's just
that that's Mookie's response, and like, sure, I'd like to hit,
but it's not like he's coming in and go like, well,
I'm not gonna hit.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Second, I meant, you know, like, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Do you want to know the quote?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Did you give me the quote?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Like, I don't even quart.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I mean, I like that better than show Hey bets
quipped Wednesday. There's nothing really you can say whatever show
Hay says goes and after that we kind of fall
in line.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
So I don't know if he was using that alliteration
movie like, I mean, I I think you throwing that
in there.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
My guess is Mookie's like, yeah, whatever, like if he
wants showing he wasn't like that, you know, well whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I remember in twenty twenty, he was not happy when
they let off Monthcie instead of him, and once they
put him in lead off, that's when the twenty twenty
season took off with him and Corey Seeger. He was
an MVP before you got in the leadoff spot.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like, with all due respect to Max and the thirty
five home runs a year. He's done four times uh
max months. He should not be leading off over Mookie back.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I agree so like that that I can even Stephen
Wonder could see that back that I would be.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Upset, But so like here right now, it's just like
the look at I think right now that all you
have to do is give this team, you know, the
next month, month and a half, and if you're still
having the same issues and you still have, this thing's
gonna iron itself out.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
They haven't had a complete team.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
This is not this is not what you're gonna have
in in September, the October.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Who cares if you have in two weeks? I mean,
do I know do the playoffs starting two weeks.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I'm just saying, in two weeks, the team is going
to look different than what it does right now.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Jack, just for a moment, the great Eric Carrols is here,
of Eric Karros. I get excited every.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Time around to the people, you know, when we were like,
you know, there was a lot of events like this
in the off season, not like this, but you know,
the Otani press conference, the Yamamoto press conference, all the
celebration of what the season was going to be.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Like.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
If I told you it was they were going to
be right here where they are right now back then
would it surprise you?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
You know, I'm surprised, there's no question. But I don't
think I anticipated all of the injuries. And you can
sit here and go like, oh, yeah, well every team
has injuries, no question, but there have been a lot
of things. Look at I thought if you would have
asked me in spring training, I would have said, look
at your dark horse number one ace guy that is
(15:35):
going to just surprise everybody is going to be Bobby Miller.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
I would have said that.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
So that's where I was, and that you know, I
don't even know if he's going to be pitching up
here again.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Right, You have the injuries to guys.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Look at all that being said, I would still say,
look at Vegas.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Still thinks these guys are the top team to win
the World Series.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
And I get that, you know, look at a lot
of things get but I but all I'm gonna say
is that it's it's dire right now because of the
last twenty four hours, right, and they win three games
this weekend, then everybody's gonna be like, oh now that,
look at they're coming back and Mookie's coming right back,
and look at we're getting our lineup and months he's
coming back, and Yamamoto's throwing bullpens, and you know, Dave's
(16:20):
gonna be going Like I knew this team was great.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
These guys are great.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Oh man, You know the facts are this smells like
nineteen ninety seven when Brian Johnson beat the Dodgers on
the final day of the season. To tell Marte and
the Arizona Diamondbacks are just three games back of the
Dodgers right now?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Does it smell like ninety sevens All.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I'm gonna say is that do you feel like? So
the Diamondbacks have been on real tory level, has done
a great job. I think they're getting regulately the best
arguably the best team in baseball?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
What since the end of June?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Right, is that going to continue?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
They are getting hell now, is that gonna it will?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Really?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
It will because they also are getting healthy. They also
have talented players.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Right, But teams are gonna go on runs like the
Phillies just went on a stretch where they were horrible.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Right, Diamondbacks had theirs they were like seven or eight.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But they're going to continue the next two month.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I believe they are.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Holy cow, dude, you got the when's the tooth Fairy coming?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Let's put a we quote you a lot here.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
That's I mean, they're good, There's no question.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They're really good. But October is happening in July. Right now,
in August, right, we gonna.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Start telling me about Blake Snell too, Right, who.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Would you rather have Blake Snell or Yoshi Amao right now? Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You said on a broadcast not long ago that without
control you can take Vello to the carnival. Yea, And
we've been saying that, uh every day. I just got
a text Petros from Oral herscheizer. Yeah, let's let's talk.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
We just got a text them. Joe Davis when it
comes to.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Oral said, oh for real, text him Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Uh, he was really offended over that. Er, your boys are.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Dealing in the minors. We at least Jared was, and
they put him on the developmental list. And Kyle's in
the Rocky system. What's the what's the update with the Carrols.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
So the update is Jared is in double A and
was absolutely lightning on fire.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Had uh had a little bit of a setback. Was
was throwing.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
A new pitch and uh so then he's been down.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
He's working his way back. He's in Arizona.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
He should be hopefully out and about in another week
or so.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
So that's good news.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And the other one, Kyle is in uh high A
with the Rockies and he is uh he's still in Spokane,
and I I, well, no, no, no, leading the league
I think in every single category except runs and hitting
home runs, RBIs ops, on base percentage, slugging, I don't
even know, like every that's.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Not far from Cordelaine for you.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
No, he's no, you're right, and that's yeah, living there
living the life of a minor league or living in
that house and playing minor league ball.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
So all good in the Carrol's household. Yes, thank you
for asking.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Are you gonna fight with Dave some more? Or you
can go no?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I like no, no, because Dave's challenging, he's got good points.
Like I I I completely agree from the outside looking in,
and I totally get the whole edge thing. I get that,
like if I'm a fan, I so so again, in
a in a in a brawl or something, who's leading
that charge?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
And you're right, it's probably Joe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Right, yeah, Joe Kelly, it's it's it's anyways one and
fifteen pounds. He's the position player leading it.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, right, No, and there is no they're guys in there,
guys in there. There's no question about it. But it's
it's just they don't exude that to.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Every one of us. They're not the you know, they're
not the vocal.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
But I can't we doing Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Here's something for you.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I was like, God, that, okay, here's something fair to
bring up to you because you were in this spot
when you played, and you know, you had a lot
of success with the Dodgers, Mike Piazza those teams. But
some of the critics would say, you guys never had
a real leader or an emotional leader on that team.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
So I guess what I would I guess that's the
critical What I would stay. What I would say is
so I I I'd look back on that. I'd say, well,
what we didn't have is a veteran presence. We had
no veteran presence. We were all young guys. This team
has veteran presence.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I would say that again.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
This group, it's it's just not a very animated. But
that doesn't mean they don't care. It doesn't mean they're
not going to go to the wall. That doesn't mean
And if you feel that, look at you'd like to
see it, Like as a fan, I would like to see,
you know, some edge.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I would like to see, like you said, the yelling
and what.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
But I also remember too, is you know, down there
playing on the field, there was a time to do
things and not do things.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And you know, look at hey, look at what we had.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
We had guys go over to other clubhouses, you know,
after a game, go into you know, so it's like
those sort of things that you know, you don't know
what goes on.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
And but I will say I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
There's two times that you know, there have been three
home runs Walker and Schwarber, and you know, people were
pretty well anchored in in.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
The Yeah, that's a great they were anchored in in
the in the batter's box. I agree.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
What did you think of Kingman's performance?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Can I just clarify that the Dodgers have guys like
Freddie Freeman, Mookie Bets and all these guys that come
out and do early work.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
They're the most prepared team out there.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That put in a lot of work that's a lot
different than what I'm describing as far as edge.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
You're when you say edge, that's not a quantifiable characteristic.
It's not and and and Philly is taken on. It's
you know, you take it takes on the fan base,
the city.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Harper, Harper, Harper has created that.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But you also have again the makeup of those guys
are guys that have been you know, like Schwarber, let
go by the Cubs and like, you can't do it.
So there's a chip there. There's a chip with Costianos. Okay,
there's a chip with Alec Bohm, like all those guys. Right, So,
like all of those guys, you know that that's not
something that you just arbitrarily manufacture. You've got you know,
(22:21):
it's it's got to come deep from within. And that's
the way Dave Dombrowski has created that team. That that's
a point of emphasis for him, right, And that's not
the way all clubs are created. And right now they're
playing well, they're super talented. And look, we can talk
Edge all you want. The pitching staff is sick, the
starting staff is crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And that's really been the difference for the Dodgers in
the last eleven games, starting pitching just has not been
able to go deep into the game consistently. If you
look at the number of innings relievers and starters have
pitched the last eleven games, the starters have only pitched
eleven more innings.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
And again, I will say, all that being said, if
I had to pick it team right now to say, like,
who am I gonna grab, I'm gonna I'm gonna still grab.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
The Dodge Phillies are right there. You could, you could
flip a coin. But the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Braves just got swept by the Brewers. They're done. Stick
a fork in there.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
They're not. Oh my goodness, great August totally. Man. Your
kids self confidence gotta be just great.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Your kids just gotta just have no confidence once bring
them to.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The real world.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
The great Eric Carrolls, there's nobody better. He's gonna be
here all night. Nothing he does tonight is gonna be interview.
What's your booth here at the all access the kissing both.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
No, yeah, I'm gonna be around for a couple of hours,
and I'm gonna be over in the couple of hours.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
One hour. He thanks you, guys check them on.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We're having dinner and dinner the great baseball man, the
Great Eric Carrolls.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
There's nobody better.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Gosh, it's like we let Vassa out of a pan
like a crazy pit bully.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay, we still have Carrols was my favorite player growing up.
He can't excited because he was mine. I was in
high school.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You know that Piazza got called up, and then Piazza
was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
My dad would say, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
He's Greek, and I'd say yeah, And then when he
saw Eric, he goes, you're Greek, and he goes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
That's a heartbreaking for my father. All Right, we'll be
back with more great sports doc. We are live from
the Dodgers All Access event.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Vassa will explain. We also have Sean Green joining us
later this hour. Is vass going to attack his nutsack
like you did Carols? We'll find out.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Petros tone has been set. David Vasse set a real
tone on the microphone.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
The Petrosen Money Show is live on five seventy l
A sparks from center right field at Dodger Stadium. Why
we're on the dirt track, The warning track here, David
Vass in the house, and of course Karrosris joined us
in the very last segment for a spirited debate about
(25:05):
Dodger baseball that ended with a lot of camaraderie and hugs.
And now we continue. Sean Green is going to join us.
We're going to be here all the way until seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And what is this, Dave? What are we at?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
This isn't the Gala, No, because that's Super Boogie.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You're not invited to that.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
But it's not the Fanfast, which is like everybody's invited, right,
So what are we doing out here?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
What is the all Access event?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It's an annual event here at Dodgers Stadium going back
ten years, Petros that is benefiting the LA Sports and
Entertainment Commission. The President is going to be here and
can't wait to see Kathy Schlossman, who has put on
this great event in conjunction with the Dodgers. So that's
what this event is about. We got the LA Dodger
Foundation over there near the third base line of silent
(25:56):
auction going on. We got Astuya Jalisco to our left here.
I know you like that, So we're a modello show,
but it's not Monday. It's an intimate setting here at
Dodger Stadium, the Dodger All Access. The Lakers do it
as well during the NBA season and it benefits the
LA Sports and Entertainment Commission.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
So what type of people are here for this event?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Passionate LA sports fans that no people to link to,
click on a link.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
To somebody, somebody that can plug me into the social pipeline.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's the type of person that's here.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, and John Harttengue, you see where that backdrop is
that says Dodgers All Access with all the dinner tables.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So he'll be around the front of that.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, he'll be interviewing somebody over there during dinner, which
happens when this show ends.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So our promotions department is here.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
It feels like a KFI show, you know, because there's
literally like nine people here to do nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
They're propping up that table.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They're here and they're all like they were all like
wilting flowers in the sun. And then I don't know
what happened this this this lovely young lady that runs
the mile at Berkeley showed up a beautiful right on
all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Everybody's like, hold on.
Speaker 1 (27:01):

a Friday night over here.

Three to two to one. Bring up Top Dog. We
did talk about top Dog. Well, she runs a mile
of town.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
What of course he's gonna ask her if she's been
a top Dog and she loves top Dog?
Speaker 2 (27:14):

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Twenty years running Top Dog at least once a week

four Petrosen Money Summer Tours Tomorrow. Yes, we're gonna remain

Herbert's not doing good? What about Bosa? Matt? Is he
all right? You know I talked to a coach today.
It's not looking at Petrose. What about a harball? You
want to run through a wall for harball?
Speaker 5 (27:51):

Speaker 2 (28:55):

Speaker 1 (28:57):
And you're Southern California Toyota dealers. Did visit your local dealers?
D yes to Toyota.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Do we got Pirates Dodgers tickets for Saturday? He said that, Paul,
let's go, Nah.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'll have real people there to clap tomorrow. Okay, we're fine,
everything's wrong, Uh, Dave, before we move on, Uh, you're
a little fired up about last night and the way
things are with the Dodger team. We'll have another couple hours,
two tree hours, as Matt would say to uh, to
iron that out like a woman with a botox face
and one of those rollers.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But before we get any further, I heard you're very
upset with Victor Brick. Yes, I could not you hear
about this. Now, Look, Vic's gonna start texting you and
get all crazy. We can't put vicome.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Well, Petros, I was blindsided here at Dodgers Stadium during
betting practice. Heard about there, called me over a loyal listener.
A lot of people are very upset about it. I
believe his name was Frank the Mailman, and he said, hey,
Victor Brick, I couldn't believe it to bend ma side yesterday.
And I said, what, really are you sure? He said, yeah,
but Petros, some money they had your back. I said, wow, Vic,
(30:10):
take that samurai sword out of my back. Well, after
taking Ben Maller's side, Well, I think that's an underdog
race right there, that you're not going to win.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It confuses a lot of people around here, Dave, because
you know, I mean, most people see you as a
flourishing Dodger reporter, a guy that does you know, facetimes
with Blake Snell right before he throws a no hitter,
A guy that can step to Eric Carross and face
him down like high noon, right at three o'clock on
the Petro and Money Show. What do you what is this?
(30:40):
What is this problem with Ben Maler? What is the
what is the origin of this rivalry or insult fight?
How serious is it? It seems like you guys really
don't like each other. What gifts Dave?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I don't know Ben is he's always been a very
jealous person. Just be honest. I'm telling you that's the
root of it. He's a very jealous and envious person.
He's jealous of your position with the Dodge, very much so.
Because he had a short stint with the Dodgers. Really,
what it comes down to do with the Dodgers. He
used to be here every night he did Dodger Talk
with Ross porter for about six months. But see, this
(31:17):
is the problem. Ben Maller's Dodger teams were not successful,
so he did not enjoy the fruits of the same
success that I have enjoyed since the Dodgers and Guggenheim
took over when they came over to AM five seventy
LA Sports with twenty twelve. So he's very jealous that
the Dodgers now are as good as they've ever been.
(31:39):
And I'm the host of Dodger Talk and he's just
an overnight guy.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Why was he unable to hold the Dodger Wait, well,
he does a great show.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
He does. He does a great show. I love Ben.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
What what was How long did he hold the Dodger
Talk show?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Why?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Six months? Why was it? Well, that's not even a
full season. No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
What came in in the middle of the season, finished
out the season, And I'm not quite sure what happened.
I feel like he went to the middays and he
was rewarded with the way that he hosted and handled
Dodger Talk. So he went to the midday show and
had a very successful run there with his partner Ben
(32:18):
and Dave Show.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I remember that.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
You know, he's still I mean, honestly, he does a
great job for three or four hours. And I'm not
saying this in a condescending way. But middle of the
night sports talk radio, you've got to be entertaining, and
he is.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yes, very much so, no doubt about that. All right.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I got a text here on the secret text also
line brought to you by your Southern California Toyota dealers,
that says, are you guys taking calls today? And the
answer is no, the show is not taking calls. You
don't want to kick anybody out of la Am I correct, No, Am,
I correct, Kates. We're not taking calls today, right, No,
it's too hot and I'm too angry to be here.
(32:58):
But in the very next segment, I believe Sean Green's
gonna come around, and if not, we'll start having Dave
attack the Dodgers like he was with attacking them, Well,
attack the performance, Petros.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I feel like this show is very similar to the
twenty twenty four Dodgers. This show has lost its edge.
I'm here to bring the edge back, lost its hedge? Yeah,
what do you talk? This show is too nice, just
like the Dodgers. You've lost your edge. You're a father
of two, you're well adjusted now in regular social life,
We're on a yacht with your friends every other week.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I think you have me confused at the show before us.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Okay, we'll be right back. A big thank you to
David Vasse for coming out. No thanks to Vic for
backstabbing me. Vic the brick, I can't believe that. Yeah,
he took Ben Maller's side. I'll remember that.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Vic.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Well, you know how Vick is. He likes to roll
with the new. You know, he's a real new jack hustler.
Here comes Sean Green. Look at him.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Oh look, Mary tranquill, very zen, just like he has
always been.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Great guy. Better get to break so we can talk
to him. In the next segment. Sean Green cracking everybody
and welcome back the one and only Petro send Money
Show on a five seventy LA Sports. Yeah, the show's podcastable,
but we do it live right here. We'll do it
live short Dodgers Station. We hear at the all Access
(34:20):
event where cool people show up like Eric Carrols and
our guest right now, Dave. One of our favorite Dodgers
of all time, Sean Green. The last time we saw
him he came out to one of our events at
the Slide Bar in Fullerton, which is now closed. They
closed it. They closed to the guy left. The guy
(34:41):
with the beard from the band lit Petro. So full
circle on Ben Maller. Ben Maller and I drove down
to the Ritz Carlton and Dana Point for the Sean
Green introductory press conference when he was traded to the Dodgers.
So Ben Meller and I on better terms back then
than we are right now in the Great Green wearing
his familiar number fifteen jersey. He wears that everywhere he
(35:04):
goes outside of the house. It's joining us right now
the Petros and Money show. Great to see you, Yeah,
great to see you.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
I knew you wouldn't recognize me, so I had, But
so you were there day one?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Were you?
Speaker 6 (35:13):
How old were you then?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
When in nine? Yeah? Twenty two?
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Okay, yeah, you're just thank you, Petro. That young annoying
kid in the corner right that was that was exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Do you feel like I've changed since you first met me?
Speaker 6 (35:27):
You cooled out a lot, You cooled out, you were scared.
I was telling Petros in the beginning, you'd be around
the clubhus You're always super nice, best guy, chittering, but
you was, Yeah, you see your knees knocking anytime. But
you definitely. Now you're the man here.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Sean Green's locker was deep inside the old Dodger Stadium
locker room, so you really had to have some kahonas
to go deep swimming in the deep end there with
the big boys like Sean Green. So I would hang
out around Trinidad Hubbard and Dave Hansen before I got
some courage to come to Sean Green's end.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Yeah, yeah, no, that was that was the beautiful locker room,
the old Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Remember you left me to cleats and you said, here,
take these cleats of mine, and I was so scared
to take them because I was just started. I said,
I can't take cleats or autographs.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Some players you smuggle them out.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Some No, somebody took them. You said, I'm gonna leave
them here by my chair. And the next day I
came somebody swiped them. Maybe it was bones.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Yeah, no, they always they always smell bats. If I
didn't like someone, I said, just take the cleets. I
liked you, I gave you, you know, a bat or
batting those, but I gave you the cleats.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Are you in the Tustin High School Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
That's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I don't think you are.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
And they're putting Deshan Foster in the Hall of Fame

Well, what what's going on? When are we gonna have
a thing?
Speaker 6 (36:44):
If Mark Grace is in there and Dave Stayton and
Heath Bell all big league guys and I'm not, then
I'll they'll have a bone to pick. But Deshaun, you know, he's.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
He was one of the great running backs of the
history of the state of California.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Without doubt about questions. I'll tell you I went back.
This was the first game I went back to watch
and it was him versus Carson Palmer in the.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
CIA, Santa Margarita versus Tustin, and it was like public private.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
It was like sixty three to sixty. No one could
stop anybody. It was pretty fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Speaking of your high school days, how's your dad, Ira Green?
Who was Freddie Freeman's high school coach?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
You went to that ceremony day? I did not go,
Freddie thought I did because I posted a picture.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
I agreed. Or Freddie Freeman who went in to the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
No, well, Freddie Freeman revamped the clubhouse at Elmodena High School.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Maybe that's what you gotta do, Sean, you got to react.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
I definitely did something back in the day. But I
don't know. Can you have to worry about that?
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Since Freddie's been in the news obviously with the unfortunate
illness to his son, Max, can you remind all of
us just the connection between your father, Ira Green and
Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah, so about the time I was planning for the
first came over the doctors. My parents had a batting
facility in near Tustin, Anaheim, that area, and he was
a local kid and started taking lessons from my dad,
and you know, I'd go in the offseason. A lot
of guys would go and who lived in the area
and hit there. And he was a kid hanging around
and you know, kind of geeking over all the big
(38:07):
league guys, and you know, we talked to him a
little bit, and you know, it could could tell back
then even that he had a really good swing and
had the obviously the desire and you know, couldn't be
happier for where he is today and all he's done
in his career and you know, thank god, things are
starting to prove at home.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
When he was that age, I mean now he talks
about even during the offseason when his dad throws some
batting practice, he does not put anybody in right field
because all he's trying to do is hit it to
center field and left field.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Did you see that back then?
Speaker 3 (38:38):
And is that anything similar to what you tried to
do when you were a player?
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, And I would imagine my dad had an impact
on that approach because that was always my approach and
that was, you know, something that my dad instilled in
me early on. And then as I you know, kind
of my career got going and I kind of figured
things out and learned from other great hitters ahead of me,
like Tony Fernandez and Carl Stoke got on all these
guys than some of those philosophies only were only instilled
(39:06):
in even deeper and you know, enhanced upon. And so
I'd share that with my dad, and I'm sure Freddy
was was it beneficiary of though, Silver.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Slugger All Star so many great things, the great Seawan Green,
but not in the Tustin Taylor Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's got to change. That's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Just because DeShawn became the head coach, all of a sudden,
they're gonna put him in the Hall of Fame. We're
gonna forget about Sean Green.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
We can't. But that's as story for another day.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
Is it go?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Fund?
Speaker 6 (39:32):
When you're starting right now?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
You were just at the Hall of Fame for Beltra, right,
I was now, you know, in the football Hall of Fame. Okay,
the football Hall of Fame it's great, and the college
football Hall of Fame. But then the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It's just there's something about it that feels different, something
about the mid the history, the American identity.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
What was it like? Was it like you thought it
would be?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Yeah? So I had only been there for less than
twenty four hours. When I was with the Blue Jays,
they used to have the Hall of Fame game, so
we played against the Ori there, flew in the night before,
played the game, and flew out, So didn't really get
to see much of the museum. And even this time,
it was so much going on for Beltray and the
others that I didn't really get to walk through as
much as I would have liked, but I was blown
(40:15):
away really by the whole town, the lakes, beautiful, the
you know, just the architecture, the brick and stone and
all that stuff. And then you go in there and
you see the you know, the amazing history of baseball
and a lot of the greatest living players you know,
were in attendance. Some couldn't make it. There was actually
the whole flight situation was going on. Oh yeah, lockout,
(40:35):
so a couple guys like Wade Bogs and Page Martinez
flights got canceled. Actually, Josevis Gaino, who's really close with
Beltray and was our teammate in two thousand, he was
on a plane. He was two minutes from taking off
at nine thirty pm, and all of a sudden he
is on the plane at three thirty pm. They hadn't moved.
He gets off the plane, takes a train to Orange
(40:55):
County and flies out of Orange County and gets there
just in time. So it was it was a kind
of a crazy weekend. But yeah, just being there and
seeing you know, you just feel the history of the game.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I was blown away that Adrian Beltray, despite him having
a lot of success with other teams that he invited
you and still in his speech mentioned the Dodger years
and when you were in Cooperstown. Alex Cora was here
with the Red Sox and he was explaining to us
on the pregame show that you meant a lot to
(41:29):
Beltray and you were a big reason why things clicked
in O four for him.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
Well, I appreciate him saying that. And you know, Beltray
was an incredible teammate, the best. You can't you can't
ask for a more perfect team. And not only on
the field where he was, you know, the best all
round player. When you throw on the defensive tough position,
nothing up by him at third base. Offensively, you know,
things really clicked his last season in LA But in
the clubhouse he's you know, it's I think when you
(41:54):
have a Spanish speaking player that speaks great English and
kind of pulls the whole team together as opposed to
the Spanish being guys are here, the English being guys
over here. He pulls everyone together, and I think that
year is it was great. He also helped me a
lot because I got kind of thrust at first base
after playing my whole career in the outfield and I
had him Alex Cora and his tourres, you know, this
incredible defense to kind of make sure they were making
(42:16):
things easy for me at first base. But yeah, we
you know, it all clicked for Beltray. He you know,
he was wanted to learn, he wanted to get the
impact or the input from older players, and it just
all kind of came together.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Petros, being the football rooted guy that he is, I
think would appreciate this story. Sean Alex mentioned this as well,
and I remember a shy kid reporting watching you guys
from Afar during batting practice. I wasn't sure what was
going on, but there was a competition that you guys had,
and he said that was some of the funnest times
you had as teammates in batting practice.
Speaker 6 (42:53):
Yeah, that was great. So I learned that this sort
of happened accidentally in Toronto where Carlos Togato and I
just started kind of messing and we do a kind
of an opposite field center field, kind of like Freddy
Freeman to the opposite field, and you had a different
points depending how far you hit it, and it got
pretty heated, and that's when I started learning how to
hit home runs. Some you just practice it and it happens.
(43:14):
And so I did the same thing with Beltray, and
he was he was crushing me every day. I mean
he was. That was the year at forty eight home
runs and hit three thirty or whatever he hit. But
you know, I think with guys who are extra had
that extra layer of competition, competitive nature, which Beltray does
and did. I think he really gravitated towards it. And
(43:34):
and we were all we'd be done with batting, practic,
sweating bullets soaked, whereas you know, a lot of people
are just kind of going through the motions, taking easy swings,
but we were. We were dead serious. And they even
set a line every day on who was going to
win and what the win was like, was gonna be
the over under how many home runs?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
And it was.
Speaker 6 (43:49):
It was pretty fun, like a surf report exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
So awesome. Those were great teams, Petro said.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
I know they did not have the success of other teams,
but if they would have been left alone and Beltray
and Dave Roberts not allowed to leave, and Sean Green
as well, if they would have added some pitching, they
would have been in the World Series within two or
three years, right, Sean.
Speaker 6 (44:11):
Yeah, I mean it was you look at those years.
We had, you know, the Diamondbacks who won the World Series.
The Giants the next year are in the World Series.
You know, we had Bonds and Ken San Francisco and
some good pitchers. We had, you know, Randy and Kurt Shilling.
The Rockies could hit, and San Diego always played us tough.
So it was a really tough division at the time.
(44:31):
And like you said, I think we were maybe one
starting pitcher away, maybe one more bad at different different
seasons away from really doing something.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
What's your secret, Sean? Why are you so healthy? You're
doing yoga on the beach or surfing?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
What's it?
Speaker 6 (44:43):
I'm not doing either. No, I like to golf lot No,
you know what I golf showed up.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, ask him how coach is going to do this year?
Speaker 6 (44:53):
He's in great shape. Yeah, he does yoga.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
You're type of guy I need.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
I need to get back into. That actually was the
in the day because I work out and my shoulders
kill me. So I realized I need to stop doing
some of the you know, benchhit. You're getting too swollen, Yeah, polls,
I'm not too swollen. Too too broke to broke arthritis.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Would you guess that Petros does yoga or would you say.
Speaker 6 (45:13):
I would say yoga. I like the shirt though, it
definitely feels no shot, right, it feels very Hawaii's n ish.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
I guess thank you. Yes, that's me, Hawaii is ish.
Speaker 6 (45:21):
I think you lost weight from last year.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah, that's good, you did? I see you call me
slim when he sucks Slim.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
He had a score for you, Santa Margarita fifty five.
That day tust In forty two, Carson Palmer completed nineteen
and thirty passes for a school record four hundred and
thirteen yards.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
And five touchdowns. How about that? How about that?
Speaker 1 (45:41):
And DeShawn had three hundred and seventy eight yards us
God and all six tailor touchdowns and one hundred and
thirty nine yards in a quarter. You went to one
of the great high school football games. No wonder you
remember it? Yeah, Sean, God bless you man. Have a
great night, and thank you so much for coming out.
You're always a class act.
