Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, Dave, second quote, opportunity for you to guess.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Who uttered these words. Was not Sparky.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
If I had read the quote with a cigarette, perhaps
that would have been.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
A tell Sparky had a pipe.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Is that what it was?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Pretty sweet? All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
The only way I'd worry about the weather is if
it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.
Going it on Vic Petro saying, Monday AM five to
seventy beautiful call Am five to seventy LA Sports. I
would like to point out by the we're live at
Dodger Stadium, I had a heck of a first hour.
If you missed it, you missed Manny Machado, You missed

(00:44):
Andy McCullough from the Athletic, and the great Ken Rosenthal
from Fox Sports and the Athletic as well, all helping
us get ready for NLDS Game number one tomorrow, five
thirty eight pm, right here on your home of the
Dodgers pregame Dodgers on Deck at four thirty pm. Petros
is today very lucky to have Dave in forum, as
we are given carte blanche all access down on the

(01:07):
field at Dodger Stadium. For this three to seven PM show,
So three more hours on a Frogman Friday PMS with
Dave in for Petros and a lot of Dodger action.
If the first hour is any indication day.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Well, I mean it's very exciting. It's not like a
Charger training camp. But I feel like this.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's not absolutely right, It's not.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
This is really exciting Matt to be here, to be
the Dodgers radios flagship for a series like this. I mean,
this is really what everybody has been anticipating. Manny Machado
said it perfectly. I thought after the Padres clinched against
the Braves that this is what everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Wanted to see.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Absolutely and also, I know you love Irony. The season
started in South Korea with the Dodgers and Padres here
for one of these teams. It's going to end in California.
So this is perfect full serve Dodgers Padres. This is
the way everybody wanted it to end. Hopefully, actually not
hopefully unfortunately for Manny Machado and the Padres. It's ending.

(02:11):
There you go, bye, I'm going Dodgers in.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Four Wow down in San Diego, Slam Diego. They wrap
it up.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I will Uh I will add, which every one of
these teams does not make it out of the DS,
it will be considered considered a massive disappointment to their season.
Everybody talking about the Padres being the hottest team in
baseball built for this year, the amount of money they've spent,
the trades, that the what they gave up from their
farm system at the deadline to bolster that bullpen, which

(02:38):
you know is all about October, they will be incredibly disappointed.
And obviously the Dodgers are the Dodgers. They've been knocked
out in the Division around in each of the last
two seasons.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Once by the Padres.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It'll be a colossal disappointment if they do not advance
to the NLCS.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
And Matt every team has their theme or galvanizing sort
of theme or image for the Padres. I'm holding this
patch right now because it was given to me earlier
today by one of Peter Seidler's bodyguard's assistants, and they
told me that Peter really had a fondness for me and.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Enjoyed our conversation. So it's wonderful And in.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
The dugout right there, wherever the Padres go, they take
this with them, they're wearing it on their jerseys, but
they have a greater sign in the visiting dugout, Yes,
for Peter Sidler, who was the grandson of Walter O'Malley.
And you know, we could say all we want about
what the Dodgers have and how much this means to Otani,

(03:37):
but for the Padres, they obviously have an emotional lift
trying to win not only this series but the World
Series for their late owner Peter Sidler, who was actually
named Person of the Year in the city of San
Diego for his work his philanthropy to try to end
homelessness down there and also putting on a very competitive

(03:59):
team on the field.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
There's that's the thing about Sidler. There's never been anything
like it in Skago, like no one has had. They've
they've walked into it, you know, in ninety four. They
they walked into it in eighty No, not nine, ninety eight,
ninety eight and eighty.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Four they walked into it.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
So it's happened, but not like this, not where you're
spending an incredible amount of money, where you're trading prospects
instead of keeping you know, the low budget young players.
Get him into arbitration let him grow roll your disskin.
They changed everything, I mean really changed the way that
they operate under Sidler, and you're seeing the benefits of

(04:34):
that right now. So understandable why they want to keep
his memory alive is they're here in the NLDS after
missing last year and making a run to the NLCS
two years ago.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
My point is everybody believes they are the team, everybody
believes they have something special. But really, what's going to
determine this series between the Dodgers and Padres is the superstars.
Who are which team superstars are going to perform. Each
of the last two years, the Dodger superstars have not

(05:04):
performed well, Dona Becks and Padres superstars have yes, Mookie
Bets and Freddie Freeman have not performed. And now you
add in show Hey Otani, who I believe the Dodgers
are looking for him to not only lead them on
the field, but also to be their emotional leader, and
the only way he can do that is by coming
up with hits, creating havoc on the basis and changing games.

(05:27):
So if it's Fernando Tattis Junior and Manny Machado, if
they're the superstars, that play better than the Dodger superstars.
It's going to be really hard for the Dodgers to win.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm watching Freddie Walker right now. How's he look He
looks like he's not paying attention to Justin Herbert the
last three weeks. So I am no stranger to the
high ankle sprain. And I know what it looks like
when they say they're fine.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But I can see the again, Well, does that look
like Justin Herbert or does that look like Freddie Freeman.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
He looks like he's he looks like he's nursing it
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, I would say so.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
He's definitely nursing it.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I would say so. And the good news.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Last time I saw fred Freeman out here, he was
in a walking boot. Right now, he's wearing spikes in
right now, they're getting ready the right one right yeah,
it's his right ankle and right now, all right, you're
the play by play guy, so at, he's not out
here just to walk around. He's going to run the bases.
This is a big test. He is going to run
the bases right now. Everybody is going to see whether

(06:21):
or not he can run the bases and make sure
that he's all good to go.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
He's now doing some high knees, stretching those hammies out.
Make sure he doesn't blow them out. But you can
see it, Kates. Can't you look at how much more
wide that right ankle is than the left one. Oh yeah,
he's got a brace on it, absolutely got a brace.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, so brace taped. Getting a little stretch going.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
He's kind of pointing to somebody else's heel, sort of
maybe indicating where he's a little uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
And if you look to the other side of the
batting cage halfway between third base and home plate. Dave
Roberts has had an extended conversation with Max Munci, who
is starting to take throws at first base on balls
at first base. There's a real possibility, Matt, that Freddy
Freeman cannot start tomorrow's game, but is on the NLDS

(07:08):
roster to be a pinch hitter because he can hit,
and maybe, just maybe by game three, Freeman's ankle freeze
up and he can do more.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
But right now it's a big test. As he's doing
his high.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Knees, oh yeah, stretching those hammis getting ready to see if.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
He can leg it out.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
You talked about this yesterday, Dave, and I think it
was a salient point and astute observation, as now he's
jogging a little bit, putting.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
A pressure on that right ankle. Can't do they go.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Plan first base?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
You know, in the field, it's not just the idea
of legging out a single or a double or.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Something, but the ability to move and.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Actually play a functional defensive first base in the field
with that, the lateral movement that you need, the push
that you would need on that foot to be able
to man that position.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
And his right foot goes on the bag. So worst
case scenario, you don't want that foot being kicked right,
He's got to be extra careful. He already is a
big believer ground balls to him. He wants the pitcher
to be able to come over and cover first base.
He's told me in the past. He just feels like
there's too much foot traffic around the bag. If he's

(08:17):
coming to the bag, the picture's coming to the bag
and you got the base runner coming up the bag
running as hard as he can.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
So getting right here.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
He's one of the best. No he's not.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
He's still on grass. He's still on grass. It's still
I could tell you when it's gonna get red. No,
it's that is not the.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Test question for you, because he is incredible.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Big Blogger is going to get that on there, Dodger blue.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh there we go.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
That guy just gave me the stink guy, the big guy.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
The art. I like that. Look at all play first base.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
He actually brought a first base glove to spring training.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
But he never used it, just a case.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
So you want first that would be ideal, right, see
what I mean, But it's not going to happen.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's not, so you want o tany I was like,
how can you Kitch to play first base and to
do his usual seller hitting.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
So he starts on three days rest, right, so he's
your number one and then you know he come back
on there and then he's also your closer.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
All on the day, all those things, all those things.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
And he's playing first base, so Freddy can dh.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's kind of weird how like the entire team is
on the third base side of home plate while Freddy
and the trainers are on the first base side and
everybody's just like pretending they're not watching, except they really are.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Watching exactly right, And it tells you, like, how freaking
important this is right now?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Because it's Freddie.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
We are live.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
We are live as Freddie Freeman is going to test
whether or not he can run the bases here at
Dodgers Stadium. There's some conversation, maybe some trepidation.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
I mean, the thing about a high ankle is it
just it doesn't go away. Like you know again, I'm
just giving you kind of the the Justin Herbert version
of it. It's like, yeah, he's gonna have that all season.
That's the reality. That's an injury that does not go
away in two days. It's a matter of what can
you do with it? How comfortable are you performing? What
percentage of one hundred percent can you play at?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
And that's going to be for two months.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Like, it's not a yeah, you rolled your ankle, you
wrap it, your ice and all that sort of stuff,
and now I feel better three days later. No, that
is not what that injury is. It's something that you
just kind of figure out can I operate with it?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
I believe everybody is under those that understanding that Freeman
is going to have to deal and manage this right
ankle the rest of the postseason, going through the world series.
But look, first basemen are not known for their cat
like quickness Matt as Adrian Gonzalez proved for many years
as a Dodger, so they're not asking him to be

(10:47):
more than what Freddy Freeman can do is hit. Obviously,
he's a great base runner. He's a really smart base runner.
He may be a station a station type of base runner,
and the Dodgers can live with that if Freddie can
take four or five bats a night. Now Freddie has
not run the bases. He's going back to do his
usual Dino Ebol drills that he does before every game.

(11:10):
So perhaps after this is all said and done with Dino,
then he will go out there and try to run
the first base.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Piece he's going to do it in front of all
these people as he did.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
I mean, when else they're leaving at six o'clock. You
got to know today, yeah, you got to know today.
He didn't do it yesterday, yesterday that he was supposed
to do, right, Yeah, and he just took live pitching
and did not run the first base after he swung
the bat. So you know today's now, we're never Matt.
The Dodgers have got to know what they have do

(11:40):
they have a Freddie Freeman that could start at first
base tomorrow. It kind of feels like Max Munsey is
getting ready just in case he is needed.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
He's still wearing his third basement's glove. He's not wearing
the first base That's exactly right. Freddy has taking the
warm ups.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
From everybody else. It's just like looking waiting. Dave Roberts
is looking at him.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Do that drill.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
It's like, all right, yeah, we know you can field.
How about your ankles?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Tail it downe the first huh.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, Kate, can you bring the microphone to Freddy just
get some live reaction.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, I will tell you that.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
He was talking to the strength conditioning coaches in between sprints,
but they were covering their mouth like they were calling
plays in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
So there was some dialogue to go, no go, no go.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
He did smile after the second run.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
So look at that side there, trying to see if
you're gonna run right well on that Massay is trying
to see who you're.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Going to run the bases now, Hey, look you're not
going to do it now. He's bending down what he
does every day. I know, but I'm trying to give
it to the look at the lateral moves. That's why
do you think I'm doing this right now? There's we're
trying to bring all the listeners here with us.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Right now. He just threw that ball off chest charger.
Now here we go.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
He goes from the mini mit to the actual first
base back and we'll dick those things. Now.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Look that that one trainer is talking with his hand
over his mouth too. He's telling Dave Roberts, hey, man,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
And Dave went away from us. I wish I had
my binocular so I'd be able to read what they
were saying. There's three of them gathered right now, hand over.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
The mouth, Hey, Dave, I don't think we should try
right now. I think just give it a little bit later,
give it a little bit later. We should do the
rest of the show with our hands over our mouths
so they don't know what we're saying.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Months he's trying to heat drop.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Months He's like, oh, okay, I better go get my glove.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
So at first base plays third, Edmund k k.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Would play third, Monsey would play first, and look, Freddy
Freeman could have a huge impact on this series. A
lah Kirk Gibson you see where I'm going. A hobbled
power hitter, left handed hitter.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
There she goes into the pavilion halfway up. Pinch hit.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's only got one every day for the first baseman.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
He's only got one at bat and m bottom of
the ninth against Robert Suarez.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
There's been a little shaky, by the way.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Very shaky over six the last month of the regular season.
From what I've been told other baseball evaluators, throwing too
many fastballs, very predictable.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's all the option the Padres have. You would think
Tanner Scott gets the exactly.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Velocity ticking down a little bit. They really rode Tanner
Scott into the ground ever since coming to the Padres.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
The other guy, they got one other guy Suarez. Uh,
the other guy Scott, Yeah, Mike, Adam.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
There you go, Adam, the Rays the two first names,
very sinister.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
I would I would take the the Dodgers, three high
leverage guys over the Padres. Right now, Blake trying in right,
Michael Kopek okay, and my nuevo amigo Edgardo Enriquez.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Enriquez, you're giving over ves Yah, he's got a sub
one five era.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
I'll take uh Enriquez. All right, Freddy's going out to
first base. Now this is a test in itself to
see how much he can move, and the lateral bo
goes to it there.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, this is a real nuts and bolts scene that
show man on Petro somebody's second four four fifteen pm.
Normally right now we're grabbing ass talking about fast food.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Look at all this media, they all go to the
first base side.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Let me point something out to you, Dave, just to
try to bring some balance to this show.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (15:07):
That's some gum right out of the warning track.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I've been chewing on this gum all all day and
I don't want anybody thinking it's my gum. That is
not my gum. I feel like I'm in Singapore and
someone track over there. I'm not picking it up. It's
not mine. I look, I got orange gum.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Hey, Adrian Gonzalez wants you to pick up.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
That's a winter green right there? I got I got
trident fruit. All right, all right, so Freddy's out of
first base. This is your audog. That blogger guy now me,
he's got a bad attitude, attitude, thank you.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Have you seen him around doctor.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
So he's the guy that's a regular. I believe he
works for NBC four's website. Actually, yeah, that guy.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't like his vibe at all. Bad vibe, big.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Time bad BBL, bad body language, BV bad vibe.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah you see the stink guy he gave me he
did for no reason. The other guy is great Dodger
Blue Matt.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I like Dodger.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Dave Roberts is talking to him, saying, hey, Freddy, I
don't want you trying to do too much right here.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
So it's Dino Evil, it's Dave Roberts, it's Freddie Freeman.
We're giving you play by play on your afternoon drive.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Stuck in tracktch out Bob Garan with a fun go bat.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'll bust you over the head with that thing.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah you will. No, Geez tells that joke every day.
Never gets old, never gets old. That's our thing. It's
kind of like, yeah, it's a baseball routine, right, that's right,
Bob Karon.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Here we go, all right, here we go, Freddy settling
into his spot. Eyes we are your eyes on the field.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh, going in, here we go.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
He's told him straight ahead here, it's nothing to left
or right just straight ahead, just a flip, just a flip.
You heard him say that case Dino made the gesture like, hey,
straight on, straight on, Matt, come on, you could do this.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Give some play by play groundball to Freddie Freeman. Flips
it over to.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Underhand a coach Hice playing about I'd say twenty five Renicky,
twenty five feet off the bag, set up with his
heels on the grass, maybe two steps inside. He's not
on the grass, he's on the two steps inside. He
said the grass they were, and then he moved on
and now he's two steps inside. She's Dino Ebel.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
You really need a spotter.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
On his right shoulder, and oh, there we go. He
had to move a little bit in the hole.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Flip over to Ron Rennicky covering first base. How about
that Brockmeyer right?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know, I came home last night and uh, I
had a half a bottle of whiskey, and it turns
out my wife was in it and she had her
trainer over.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
You want to go talk to Miguel Rojas over here.
He's got some platinum blonde hair.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh yeah, that's right. He tied his hair for the
the postseason.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, he did.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
We would need that third micro.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Talking to your girl coming right now, guys.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
David Veasse was told not to grab players, but it
looks like he's going to defy.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Dame owns this field. By the way, I'm over here,
I'm over here.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, he does.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Number one feel maybe my uh well, he's going down
to the dugout.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
He saw me.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
He didn't want want to talk.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
No, how about Munsey.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Munsey's our pregame guests tomorrow. I can't bother him right now,
Come on Nobody radio show. You're not scooping my great tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
He just told Dave to go away. That settles that.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
And he's got his first baseman's mitt in his left hand.
He's got his third basement glove and his first baseman's.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Freddy turning two. He scooped that thing up. Had interesting
throw at the dino on second interesting, absolutely beyond interesting.
So now he's moving a little bit there he is
trying to turn two.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
How different is baseball play by play from the NFL
the Chargers.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
You know, football, bang bang, right, and then I lay out,
it happens, and then I lay out and the analyst
does it all. You got so much downtime in baseball,
you're really just kind of having a conversation football. From
the time they break the huddle to the time they
set the ball. It's all me describing the action. It's
a very regimented.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
By the way.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I'm sold on Freddy Freeman playing first base thing. So yeah,
just him being able to pivot and turn that way.
Look at this, he's turning on a dime, being able
to throw down to Dino eblvering second base. I mean,
it isn't game action, but what he's able to do
right now is more than what I expected.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
He just winced on that last one. Yes he did.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Are you sure it wasn't just the sun in his face?

Speaker 5 (19:11):
No?

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I feel like he winced, did he Well, I'm.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Sure it's not feeling great.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Look at that man now, he's shaking his head saying yeah, sorry, folks.
If this isn't the most exciting bit of what do
you think Cake's good?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Radio news is good.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You guys are live on the air describing it.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Max Monsey just told me to get away.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
That was big too.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Who else gives you that?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's true?

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I thought we were gonna get Miguel Rojas with his
new platform.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Can we do word number in song in.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
The next segment?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Okay, we'll break here a little two heads, we'll break here,
talk to one we got rid.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Of when we saw Freddy Freeman come.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
In harange anybody else till the camera's on. What's happening
right now?

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
All eyes on Freddy?

Speaker 3 (19:46):
All right?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Hopefully that was compelling.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I can't discand really the worst segment of the Petros
and Money Show, or if it was eyes on the field,
it's my fault. And we're bringing you into Dodger Say, well,
you and Freddie are very close. You want to see's
ready play? Look at that run in the first he's good.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Maybe they need me to run the first base to simulate,
you know, a bunt play.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Well, maybe Freddy talks to us. Right if everything goes great,
you think so.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Oh, without no chance to say, he's just so mad
at you.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Now that's our relationship. He loves to hate me.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
All right, we'll be back from Dodger Stadium. Last hour,
Guest Machado, Guest McCullough, guest Rosenthal. This hour twenty minutes
of Oh my god, it's Freddy. Oh look at a
moving look at a moving to cover first base, and
there is pr.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Doing a great job as always out here.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Exactly right.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
We'll be back live at Dodger Stadium until seven pm
on a seventy l A Sports.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Maybe the great Travis Smith could give us a comment.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
There's a good effort, Dave, there's a good effort. Dave
tried to secure Freddy dead comment out of the well
you did say, watch your Steff was very kind.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
He was looking at the writers because you imagine him
looking at these writers and falling down those steps.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
There would be blood on all their hands.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Who would you blame.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Jack Harris from the La Times.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Of course that's appropriate.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, yeah, Freddy said he had to go to a
Hitters meeting.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
The game's not until tomorrow at five thirty, but Freddy
had a rush to a Hitters meeting exactly.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
I thought they've been.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Together the last three days, twenty four hours. They haven't
had a meeting yet about you, Darvish or anybody else.
Dylan Cees. They just saw Dylan Cease last week. I'm
not going to bug Kershaw. Want stop pointing.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
To him, and he's trying to give you Kershaw. Look
at that, John, I thought you're gonna get.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
It's not like you're not the famer want you don't
just treat him like you know, he's Johann Ramirez.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Johann Ramirez did not deserve that stray.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
He just like he pointed to Kershaw like he was Johann, like,
hey about this guy, right, Freddy, let's get back to this.
Freddie Freeman was passively aggressively approached by the LA Sports
writers and I was creeping over that way as well.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
We were going to stick the microphone, Yes we were.
We were to comment.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
And he told the LA Beat riders he has a
Hitters meeting and had to rush down those steps. His
head was turned to the left as he was talking
to them. Almost missed a step, you made comment, I said,
watch your step.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
He said, I don't have to, David. It's like, how
did you know it was me?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
You were looking the other way, but you had.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
To get to that meeting.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
That meeting that is I mean, they really better hit
Dylan C's tomorrow. If the meeting's right now, there's no
excuses not to get some hits tomorrow against Dylan Cees.
If there is really a Hitters meeting going on right now.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
We're just looking at Dave like you're going to get fired.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
That's all what they're thinking right now. Basically, Freddie Freeman
did not want to end are questions about his severely
sprained right in.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You shan go first to third, David, What did you
say to me?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
I'm sold?

Speaker 4 (23:06):
I'm sure I saw Adrian is one hundred percent going
a lot slower than that when he played for the
Dodgers from twenty six twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Sold.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I'm sold.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
You would think that Freddy would want to speak to us.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
If you're sold, you would think so.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
But a last year, we are continuing to look at
Dave Roberts standing solemnly on the mound.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Who is he looking at?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh? Who's out in left field?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Here's a great guy, biggest game pitcher I've seen in
Dodger Blue in a long time. Tim Kates is obsessed
with his back tattoo. I don't know why. Well, because
Walker Buehler, by the way, is his name exactly right,
as they say in Louisville, but Tane and on his
glove that's his nickname.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Butane, Yeah, he gave it to himself.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Are you sure?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah? It's like Kenny Powers.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Are you sure he gave it to him? So?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I like his high school nickname or something that's unfortunate?
Did he did the tattoo himself?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Too? On?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why is Kate so obsessed with his back tattoo?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Because he doesn't look like a guy that has any tattoos? Right,
and then all of a sudden the shirt comes out
of the You're like, holy crap, he looks like a guy,
but he.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Doesn't have any There's nothing on his arm, he's got
nothing on his neck. Nothing got dignity.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's why dignity.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, you see the size of that thing on his back.
I don't know how dignified that thing.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Nobody's going to see that.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well we did with a cigar in his mouth and
celebration at hand. I think that's why Kate's was so
taken a back, much like the Kevin Durant tattoo thing.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
What do we get?

Speaker 3 (24:30):
We got words? Song and number?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Go ahead, you start. I'm gonna walk over here.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
The day Ronnie please with his words.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
The word.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
The word of the day is queens Queen. Why guys
New York? No, my guy, Shaquille O'Neill.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
When he was pestered by those Sacramento queens from two
thousand to two thousand and four. Treated the Sacramento queens
the way the Dodgers should be treating the San Diego
mod in this series.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
What an insult Dato they said of the fathers, the mothers.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
I mean, people want to make this a rivalry, similar
to the way they wanted to make Lakers King's arrivalry
for four years. That's what is happening right here, the
well established Dodgers having to deal with the San Diego
Padres for four years here with Shaq back in two
thousand and one, and I'm hoping somebody from the Dodgers

(25:27):
will take an example from the great Shaquille O'Neal and
really put the Padres in their place.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
We're not worried about the Sacramento Queens, not at all.
I'm not going to be doing this all year, going
back and forth with them. Nobody cares that we won.
Last Year's the new year, so we we just need
to focus on the new year. But like I said,
I'm not worry about the Sacramento queens right it. Now,
take a picture of Senato No, I don't care.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
I mean, come on that was classic, Matt, and I
feel like this Dodgers Padres four year, you know, rivalry
tit for tat is similar to the Lakers and Sacramento
Kings from two and two thousand and four. Nobody has
talked about the King since then.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Well, it's an interesting observation, Dave.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I think, you know, the one thing that people would
push back on is that the Kings never knocked the
Lakers off in a playoff series. The Padres have done.
That's twenty two, I think. And I think the similarity
is that those were really entertaining playoff series. You know
that the Kings certainly held their own. They were one

(26:35):
or lost by the slimmest of margins, obviously big shot
Bob's three pointer, and they would have I believe, gone
down three to one had he not hit that shot.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Instead, I believe that shot.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I believe that even the series at two two, right
or it was going to be a two to two series,
and that put the Lakers up three on one of
those two.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
But I think that pres has.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Held their own with the Dodgers since twenty twenty and
you know, yeah, they beat them in twenty twenty two.
Something like you said, the Kings never did to the Lakers.
But really there's a lot of questions about if the
Padres can sustain this rare air with the Dodgers moving forward.
I feel like maybe after twenty twenty five, you're not

(27:20):
really gonna hear from the Padres again.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Don't No.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I mean, Jackson Merrill just put together one of the
great rookie seasons in the history of baseball, and he
did it being asked to play a new position and
he's executing defensively. It's but I'm just saying, like, there's
that youthful infusion with all of these big money contracts
that they have stretched out for ten years.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Right, we'll see it.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
I see one youthful farm player that has really helped
them out. They've got an aging hurt Joe musk Grove. Right, You,
Darvish doesn't look like he's aged, but he has aged.
He's almost forty years old.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
So do you how do you equate? How do you reconcile? Dave?

Speaker 1 (27:55):
They keep our seamhead conversation going today. You Darvish has
apps solutely destroyed the Dodgers in his career. One eight
seven e r A against him in like ninety five innings,
but he has not been good in the postseason.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
He was good in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
But really, uh, I mean, I from a fan's perspective,
this is the closest analogy I can come up with
with this because Dodgers, Yankees, Dodgers Cardinals rivalry, Sacramento King
not a rivalry. Dave Roberts is listening intently to what
I'm saying. Yes, yeah, from down on the dirt of

(28:34):
the pictures mound, He's like, geez, this guy.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I thought we were going to talk to Dave.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, exactly. Anyway, that's my word of the day, the
Sacramento Queen.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I think it's a I'll say this, David does fit.
It absolutely fits.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
That's to come out here and say what Shaq said
before one of those playoffs series as well.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Well, I think if you call the pod race it's
a bit of a it's a bit of a uh.
I don't think that's gonna fly. I mean, gotcha, maybe
instead of the Podrays, the Neinos or something like that.
You know, they're not the fathers, they're the kids. Something
like that. Does that makes sense?

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Now I'm allowed to say this.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
I'm very allowed to take into the writer's Now.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Now, no, there's a member of the Dodgers' training staff
that is taken aback by my.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
You're considered suggesting that this is not a rivalry.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
It's not a rivalry, And I would love for somebody
to step up in Shaquille O'Neal's shoes and just really
put the padres in their place where they belong, like
the Sacramento Queens.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
All right, Dave, let's I need to do this. This
is horrible. A number of the days, it really is incredible.
Number of the days I'm going to do five, I think.
So I take the Bucks last night, they're plus two
and a half. They have the ball with eighty six
seconds left, and all they have to do is kick

(29:53):
a field goal to go up by six, and then
I am guaranteed to cover my two and a half
points and improve my record to a totally unacceptable four
and fourteen. Instead, the one thing that cannot happen happens
a holding penalty to push them from the thirty one

(30:17):
to the forty one out of field goal range, so
they have to punt to the falcons with eighty one
seconds left, and they cannot stop them. They needed one
second more to tick off the clock to prevent a
game time field goal, after which they lose in overtime.
It really is remarkable how I am losing games this
year and lost that last night. So the only way
I dig out of this hole is if I take

(30:39):
a lot more games and try to do it. This
is the image of a man who has lost hundreds
to thousands of dollars at the blackjack table, making his
way over to roulette and throwing money at red or
black or individual numbers including the zero and double zero.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
So here we go.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
You ready, I'm ready, because I'm hooked.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I bet yeah, exactly three, and do what the Union
guide does and just take the exact opposite of what
I have. He's made thousands of dollars this year. I'm
not exaggerating. Vikings minus two and a half over the
Jets in London. The Jets stink. The Vikings are really good.
Aaron Rodgers has hobbled. That offensive line is a disaster,
and everybody hates everybody not good for a you have
to cross the pond shrip and be four time zones away.

(31:21):
So give me the Vikings minus two and a half.
I'll take the Texans plus one the Bills three and zero.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Start.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Those teams are two and ten that they defeated the Cardinals,
the Jaguars, and the Dolphins. They're one loss Baltimore by
twenty five points. So I'm going to suggest that the
Bills are frauds the Texans are not. So I will
take the one point home underdog Texans next Cardinals. They stink,
of course, the one time I take them, they absolutely

(31:47):
hammer the Rams, all right. The one time I take
the Rams, I bet against them, they hammer them three
and thirteen in their last sixteen road games, forty nine
Ers have won their last four against Arizona. Even with
McCaffrey out, Jordan Mason's been one of the best backs. However,
the red zone's been a bit of an issue. While
I'm a little nervous about Land seven, but I suspect
they'll score a lot of points like thirty plus and
the Cardinals won't be able to keep up. So I'll

(32:08):
take San Francisco minus seven. The road favorite Packers, who
needed a half to get back into rhythm with the
return of Jordan Love, line up to be a lost
season for the Rams. At one and three, no Cup,
No Nakua. Their offensive line in shambles. The defense is
worse thirty first in the league, second worst of any unit.
They allow the most yards per play, second most per game,
second most points per game. Lafleur can coach offense. Did

(32:29):
it with Malik Willis for two weeks, did it down
four scores against Minnesota twenty eight to nothing and nearly
came back to win that game, ultimately falling thirty one
to twenty nine. Same vibe as the forty nine ers.
Very good team versus not so good team. A lot
of points will be scored. So I will take the favorite,
the road favorite Packers and big favorite Seahawks minus six

(32:49):
and a half. Yeah, they were hammered by the Lions,
gave up forty two, double their season average, but they
were missing five starters, three on the defensive line Leonard Williams, Boye,
Mafe and Shennon and wos who They're all back and
a versus in concussion protocol for the Giants, So I
will lay that.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
How about that, Dave?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
My only question is why did you walk behind home
plate when I'm behind third base to give those picks?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Why did you separate yourself from me that much.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I was just kind of getting uncomfortable around all those people.
I just you know what I mean, I just kind
of wanted to get away from everybody.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
I thought you were trying to like since yourself from
my comments.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
No, the writers, they were kind of watching us.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
They were watching.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I was like, Eh, I'm just going to kind of
come over here and do my thing by the booking
dot Com postseason ticket.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Trust say, a lot of these guys have laid a
wager or two on the NFL.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh No, I'm not doing it because I don't want
to do it around them. I just don't like the eyes,
the eyes of judgment upon me. You know, writers, their scribes,
they have journalism degrees from places like Syracuse in Northwestern
and they look at radio like Austin Barnes looks at
radio some archaic format to communicate with the fans when
it comes to the leverage.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Now, radios thriving.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Exactly, especially because we've been putting up podcasts for a decade.
That's right way ahead of the game. You and your
stupid Rider podcast. So I don't know, I just didn't.
I didn't like the vibe. I'm gonna be honest, I
didn't like those guys. I wanted to move away from them,
all right, they may be your friends, and instead.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
I thought it was me.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
No, it was not you, Dave.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
And you know what, we can cover more ground this way,
because you know how much all these Dodgers really like me.
So when they see me walking around with the microphone,
they may say, hey, Matt, I certainly would like to
chat with you. Come over here with that microphone and
let's talk.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
All those big brains behind home plate that make all
those great decisions.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Who'saw Kershaw talking to you right now? Where is he
right here in front of me?

Speaker 3 (34:37):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
That's the Dodgers GM, Brandon Gomes that you've had on
the show many times.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
I thought Ghomes was bigger than that.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Guys have had him on your show, I know, but
I guess it's just because he you know, Kershaw's a
big guy.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
So Gohames looks very small next to him.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
That's outrageous, Matt, you think it is going next to him?
That that is the Dodgers GM. Because it's not like
he hasn't been on your show.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
He multiple times and he's great on the show.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Anyway, that's who it is.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Would you say he is half the size of Kershaw. Yes,
and he's a former professional baseball player.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
He was.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
He dabbled in the bullpen for the Rays.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
He really is remarkable how they come in all shapes
and sizes.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
All right, that's what makes baseball great.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
You could be little David Eckstein and be a World
Series MVP, or you could be Aaron Judge hitting sixty
two home runs.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I was in that clubhouse for that World Series run,
and I will never forget the image of David Eckstein
coming out of the showers and getting dressed right next
to Troy Gloss. It really was one of the great
illustrations of how baseball is one of the more interesting
sports when it comes to who can play it at
a high level.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
No comment for day running. This is the song of
the day. Thank you, Ronnie, thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
As we are a drunk show, I would like to
point out observation. You look at all the uh the
advertisements in the outfield, and I got Booze, Jim Bean,
I got Beers, Michelobultresstrelia, Jalisco, I got sowd you Genro
sold you. I mean, this is a drunk park. And
then I got cutwater. Those mixed drinks in a can.

(36:20):
I mean, what a drunk park. I feel at home.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
We are so deep right now that you have never
been this sober, this late in the show.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
My man Brad is not here to deliver my sixty
four ounce miche Lala made with Modelo, because that's what
I prefer on a modello. Meet you a lot of
Friday and all right, we'll keep it going. Maybe we'll
get Dave Roberts. As these guys start warming up, I
don't know, you don't think so. It doesn't look he's
chatting with Walker Bueller. I feel like this is our opportunity.
Let's go to break real quick and see if we

(36:50):
can get them a week on.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
See, let's see.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
All right, let's see a guy like talking over here.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
The eyes of judgment are upon me, and I get nervous.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
I'm speaking to.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
The Great Jonathan Irb, cam Rio's finest big fan of
the Petros and Money Show.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, we appreciate that he was underwhelmed.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
By the way you look in person.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
I'm a small I'm built like a teenage girl.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
What do you want me to do? There's nothing that
I can do. It's genetics. I weigh one hundred and
fifty five pounds. I can see why he'd be upset.
Look at him, he's all barrel chested.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
There's two people I think of when I think of Camio,
himI Hajkez and Jonathan RB.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah, this guy helps some of.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
The great Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
My wife worked at the Looney Bin in Camrio, No kidding,
bad stuff. She had to get out of there because
one of the patients went crazy and.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Well I should sit down. Yeah, it was like a
bad scene. Dude.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
They're like, hey, you got to get out of here.
It was wild. You're no, dude, I'm old. It was
nineteen ninety five. We had just graduated.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
That's enough, Matt.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yes, she worked there and like a patient like rolled
up on her did some terrible thing. They were like,
you're young and attractive. You need to get out of here.
This isn't good.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Hey, look, there really was a Hitters meeting.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Exactly, Matt.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
You can't have a conversation. Why he doesn't have a microphone.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
We're pulling back the curtain. This is what happens when
you go live at Dodger Stadium. We have great conversation.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
You tried to drive a wedge between us and I'm
building a bridge. That's exactly right, starstruck right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I love Camille.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
You haven't been past thousand oaks. Not true, in like
ten years.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
I go to Santa Barbara regularly. I do, legitimately do
I legitimately do. And by regularly I mean maybe like
three times.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Yeah, exactly, maybe four. Hey, look, there really was a
Hitters meeting.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yes, are back. They all just came out.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Now, would you like to apologize to Freddie Freeman?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Well, I mean I was doubting whether.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Meeting, and clearly there was because they all just amuse.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
The game isn't until tomorrow. Usually the Hitters meeting takes
place the day of the game.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Understandable, but maybe they want to add one right now.
So I think, honestly, you probably, oh Freddie an apology.
I feel like you said he was dodging the media,
when in fact he was going.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
I actually helped him by saying, watch your step you did.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
You did, Dave with your lobster shirt on, when you
go into your cloths and you're like, you know what
I'm gonna be on the field.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's the day before the playoffs. Did you just grab
the first polo.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
It's a dry fit Nike Polo with lobsters on it. Hey,
it serves a purpose, and I think it shows some
character it does.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
It set Andy McDonald of the Andy McCollough off from
the athletic because he's got gout and he got shellfish
all over your shah.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
So there's that. What are we waiting for, Dave? You're
looking around.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
I'm looking at the blonde ambition of Miguel Rojas.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
He looks great with that.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Blonde for everybody, but it works for him. I think,
I know.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
I don't think it works for him. I could not
pull that off.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
No, most definitely you couldn't. I think you heard it
fall out. You don't want to mess with your hair, Dave, Yeah,
you do not want to burn.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
That helped me out.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
I know they did. We did it live.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
You were in the chair live getting your hair transplant,
and you were kind enough to let us have that
be a live event on the Petros and Money Show
some fifteen years ago. Maybe. Yeah, look at it now
and I'll go the hair looks huh, exactly right, Bosley.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
It worked. You're gonna like the way you look.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
Matt when you look at this series and you look
at this team, I feel like they're not getting enough
credit that they deserve it. Why has it gone from
Dodgers World Series champions to now we have so many doubts?
Do the Dodgers not have the best record in baseball?
Did the Dodgers just win the NL West? The Padres

(40:31):
opportunity to knock off the Dodgers was just last week
and the Dodgers won two out of three. The Dodgers
have Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound for them in Game one.
They have Jack Flaherty who has been celebrated all season long.
They have the best player on Earth on their team, right,

(40:53):
and yet there is still doubt. And it kind of
feels like these Dodger players since that death out and
really want to show it well.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
But you know, I'm hoping that we have a chance
to catch up with Dave Roberts because it's been interesting
that that he said, you know, intensity and stuff, and
you want to I would assume you want the team
to be what the team is, right, you don't want
to change anything and not try to be somebody you're not.
We know, it's been a team that's kind of been
very even keeled, uh and kind of talking about, hey,

(41:22):
let's let's get amped up, let's try to match them intensity.
And I don't know if that's you certainly want it right,
but at the same time that that's not who you are.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
That's not who you are, that's how it's feeling.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
I don't you can't match what the Padres do because
that's not my approaches there. Yeah, you can't be the Padres,
and the Padres can't be like the Dodgers. That would
just change just how they play the game. These group
of players were brought here because of their even keel attitude.
But it does feel like the Dodgers this year, going

(41:51):
into the postseason, have a heightened sense of focus that
wasn't there the last two years.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
And I'll say that point.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, I think that that was sort of maybe what
the point that was being made. You brought it up
multiple times, Dave that hey, you beat him, what fifteen
out of twenty times, maybe you take them a little light.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
You're like, whatever, we'll kind of get damped up for
the NLC.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
The man handled the Padres in twenty two.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Year exactly and then it got away from him. And
so maybe it's a not necessarily more intensity, but a
greater focus at the task at hand, at the challenges
that are being presented, despite you being the team with
the best record in baseball and having just one, two
or three?

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Who are you doing that too?

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Landed Nak's going to join the show a little bit later.
Appreciate him doing that.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Oh, yeah, there is, yeah, there we got come on
while your guy Enriquez is big he is what is
he like?

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Big man? My guy Michael Kopeks over here? How you
doing live radio right here?

Speaker 5 (42:51):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Do you want to say hello?

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Everybody?

Speaker 3 (42:53):
That's all I got for beards, great beards, looking great.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Says hello to everybody that's always got It's all good,
keep going. David remind me of Joe Myers at the
back of the Lakers plane when they would come on
and he would say.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
I would love nothing from Kate somebody. I mean, I'm
trying to open the door. They know you, though, Dave better, No,
that's the problem. They know me too well.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Well.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
The good news is we had to break anyway sore
at the top of the open Way late, so uh,
when we returned, maybe Dave will be able to do
some work off the air, some heavy lifting.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
We see Brandon Gomes out.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
There, you feel like there's going on out here a
little bit exactly, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Yeah, normally the field, uh, normally, when we're out here,
people are grabbing ass.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Austin Barnes is telling us radio is dead.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
That's not the vibe. No, not the vibe.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Little more intensity is.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
That Manny Machado joined us.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Who is that Tony Gonsolin with a shaved beard.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Tony Gonsolyn is here, but Tony Gonsolyn is not going
to be on the NLDS roster. And no, that's not
Tony Gonsolin, that is the screwballer himself.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Honey, Brent Honeywell there, that's what I thought. Case was
the one that said that.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
So swing a miss on. Brandon said it.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
He said it, swing and miss on the screwballer turtleneck.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Oh mom thought that to a turtleneck guy. Brent Honeywell,
he looks a lot older.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
And there's your guy, Austin Barnes, Radios Radio's number one fan.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Exactly right.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Take that monster truck, drive it right into the Sultan Sea.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
That's what I think. All right, we'll be back different Matt, different,
five halfway point.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
We've spent two hours talking about Freddy Freeman's ankle. We're
