Speaker 4 (01:28):
There's no doubt about it. Matt, I got a text.
Woke up this morning, got a text on the secret text.
Also line, this secret text dos.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
A line brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
You must feel pretty stupid for doubting the Dodgers can
go one hundred and sixty two and oh stupid win
last night. Money is onto something.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Appreciate that textosor so, you got a lot to do?
You do you feel stupid always? But not because of that?
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You can change? You can change right now.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I'm gonna stand on this hill all right.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know I'm gonna stand there alone.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I know it's gonna be Soto's last stand, Elsto's last stand.
But I will stand on this hill, Matt, and I
will say I say, I say, I say that even
though the Dodgers could win tonight against that big, skinny Cryssaille,
they're not gonna win every game this season.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And now, like, let this just take a moment here
kind of pull out. Let's get a wide angle lens.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh, you want to go to the blimp. Get out
in the carson and get in the blimp.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I want you to recognize, like how your negativity affects others? Yes,
Like what how hard is it to say? Yeah, I
totally think they could go one hundred and sixty two
and zero. I can see it, but it's going it's
that hard.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Well, and it's hard to say because I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It, Matt, How can you not believe it after what
you've said thus far?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You're right, you know they've been dominant. They've been dominant. Uh,
they've beat great pitchers like Schooble, they went in Japan.
I think the Braves haven't won a game yet.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They haven't.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
The last time they started a season like this, I
think they won the World Series in ninety one.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But see that's a negative stat You're talking about the
winless Braves somehow being able to win a World Series
despite starting the season zero and five. And yet you're
unwilling to commit here in Los Angeles, to this market
where people love the Dodgers more than any other sports team. Well,
one hundred and sixty two and zero.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So okay, so I'm a bad guy, But are you?
Are you like a walking edition sign, Like are you
are you endorsing the idea that the Dodgers are going
to be one hundred and sixty two? And oh?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Why would I think anything else?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Well, I don't know. Are you going to ask all
of our guests if they think it's possible?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
What have we got on today?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Ryan Spilborg's from Apple TV and the Colorado Rocky the
guy played for the Rockies, And.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'm not going to ask him. I don't want to
put him into that spot, you know what I mean?
Like we we appreciate our guests.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
But you want to put me into that spot?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, I just think based on that text though, so
you recognize like the negative effect you can have on
our sporting community and it spanned them by not supporting
the idea that this team could go on?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Are you saying zero? I'm like a super swol guy
closing a door and I ripped the handle off because
I don't know my own strength and I'm just I
don't understand the power of my opinion and it casts
a negative Paul across the town. A great paull on
the city of Los Angeles a malaise. If I say
(04:44):
that I don't think the Dodgers are going to go undefeated,
because I don't. I mean, I really don't. Like you
want me to lie.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Imagine yeah, that that works, or imagine you know, we
all go as a show to French laundry, okay, and
we're waiting two hours for our table.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Which is a really nice restaurant in Wine Country area
for those of you that don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We finally get our table.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
We're not actually going to a laundry France.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We finally get our table, We sit down, and you
bellow for everyone across the whole restaurant to here. There
is no way this meal is going to be worth
fourteen hundred dollars. No way, everyone, And there's like, well,
I'm only to commit fourteen hundred dollars for my meal
(05:36):
for two. I'm very excited about the prospects of how
delicious this is going to be. Yet you have cast
a pall over everybody else by day there's no chance
that could be possible.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I'm wrecking it, going in, wreckon it, going in like
we're in the rotten line for the Colossus in nineteen
eighty eight, and I'm like, this run putting.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Coaster shucks steal from this.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Why are we here? It can't be worth the monk.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, but you wait until we get right to the
front of the line. We've waited there. I mean, we've
been through yesterday and we mentioned it.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Tell a story about your weekends. Say you told your
wife there's no way we're going to that breakfast burrito place.
I'm not paying twenty two dollars for That's what I'm saying, Matt,
there's no way.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, sounds like you're all alone, my friend. Welcome to
Los Angeles. Embrace the culture. Dodger fans everywhere they believe.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm from here. They believe they believe all right, Well,
I mean, if Tim Kate's and David Massey.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is going to join us this out, I bet he believes.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I don't think he believes.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I bet he does.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
One hundred and sixty two and O I'm buying the
domain right.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Now, Dodgers one sixty two D zero.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I mean, I'm not saying they're not great.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Bill Blaski says one hundred and sixty two and oh
he tweets it out every time you win.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, I get it, and that's great. But you know,
Bill's not exactly an oracle when it comes to predicting championships.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Ah, this is the best Dowger Tim I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Oh god, I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
In the first round.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Bill.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, yeah, no, God, you know, I mean, Bill proclaims
one thing or another all the time. He's got to
write four times a week, for God's sakes, guy's got
to work.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I just you know, I don't see how they lose
a game. I don't see it. I watched I've watched
every every game, not the entirety, in their entirety.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Of course, but who could be expected exactly? Come on,
that's crazy, Tom, Well, you're able to build an opinion,
you know. I mean, your baseball expertise is such, Matt,
that you don't need to watch. Like, all you really
need to do is look at the box score, and
you know you can read it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I like to get at least, you know, a few
outs in there, you know, at least at least a
good solid twelve to fifteen outs, and then I feel
like I can get a real good read, right is going?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And you got a good read that this is going
all the way to the moon.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All the way to the moon now sixty it's a
Wally moonshot.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Okay, well, I'm not rooting tomorrow. I'm not rooting for
the team that fills our coffers. Sounds like it, and
Kates has offers to lose.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
How does this team lose, Matt when like Will Smith
has a bad night or I'm sorry, Mookie Betts will
pick him up, right, Rookie Betts has a bad night, Okay,
Freddy Freeman takes Oh, Michael CONFORDO is gonna hit a
double driving a couple of runs.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
In the seventh spot, some vegetable takes down Dustin May
and Chris Sayle emerges and you lose tonight, and then
this whole story's over. And just so you guys know
that I'm not alone on that hill. I have a
friend to trade with and to play Pokemon and play Uno.
(08:33):
Isabelle texted me on the secret text tost So and
said this, Matt, I agree with you. P that won't happen.
What everyone is crazy, even money? How does it feel
to be crazy? Fool?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Hey, you know what, go ahead and confine me because
I'm happy being crazy. If I'm crazy about the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
If I'm crazy about the Dodgers, and put me away
and lock up the now, Matt, here's an interesting prospect.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Just because your guys playing like crap and you want
you want him to bring the rest of the team
down old two for twenty one, Max Muncie.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
They're able to overcome his two for twenty one and
still be undefeated.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And that guy's already talked in torpedo bats. It started
out so bad.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Let me send you this text, Matt over the air, okay,
because this is an interesting prospect. Now I'm feeling unstable.
What if the Dodgers are one hundred and sixty when
one hundred and sixty one and then and then no,
I couldna taken. What if they're right on the brink?
(09:39):
Oh man, Isabelle says, Tim is crazy too, Hey, Tim,
how does it feel to be a lunatic idiot? Huh?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I love it? I love it about one.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Hundred and sixty, Oh you idiot, love it?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Umber Man. They just can't see what we can see, Tim,
They can't see it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
They're not real Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Nope, they don't recognize what we recognize.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Look, you this, Matt, Jesus Petros again with the negativity. Right,
you're the guy who hates on those men who do
drugs with their dogs, aren't you. Why can't you let
people bask in that good undefeated season goodness?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's a great point. It's a great point, Pete. Guess what,
you can hold your position as soon as they lose
their first game. If they lose a.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Game, Chris Sale, You guys are gonna sell with Chris
Sale on the mound.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I'm looking at the schedule right now. I don't see
them losing the game, Matt, I don't look it. I
just looked at the entire schedule.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Now, did you actually did you get the whole schedule
or are you just looking at the first half the
whole schedule?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
A beautiful I mean possibly? No, No, not go win
that game? I mean Phillies this weekend. You kidding me
out there in city of brotherly love, some of us.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
This text says, I'm listening naked right now at my
Sancha's house, blow drying my pubes, and I can't stop laughing.
Matt is riding his meth high that he shared with
his dog, and wear his cats licking his golden mic
wounds losing to a lawn bowling story. This show slaps
(11:13):
you know what.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
In an era of manscaping the blow drying your pubs,
unfortunately a skill that has gone by the wayside in
many parts.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Matt some real hatred coming like a like a like
a sharp knife from the five to five nine says
Matt's pompousness is utterly suffocating. So Matt should always believe
that he can catch every tube. That's right. That's how
he serves.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Eddie would go surfing tubes, man, Eddie would go.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And everybody knows Fresno's Giant's country. So that's a hater.
That's a hater ass hater text right there.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Hate p stop putting out the negativity, stay positive and
root for the nlgonas and root for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That's right, but not for Alex Eave them.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
All.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Guys are bullies.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I knew Kate's was coked up, but what's up with Matt.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I'm just riding high, man, I'm riding on all these
Dodger wins.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I'm gonna be the guy to say that it's not
gonna happen. And you're gonna remember my face when the
Dodgers take that first.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
L Remember your face. I'm gonna remind you every day
of that face and how stupid you must feel you look.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
At the mirror today, idiot, the Dodger. Dodgers want to
get last log and wins Man. They're ten and oh
you done yet? Acting like an idiot? Idiot, stupid face?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You want to you want to have let us talk
mister insensitive before tonight.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
What about Dave? If that's the story.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Don't put the Hey, don't you put this on him?
I expect him to come on in the very next
segment or back end of this hour, right or next
hour WEDNESDAYVI on before five, before the end of this
hour and support the position that Kates and I are
currently occupying.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Just because we put Steve Hartman on yesterday doesn't mean
we have to do a Steve Michael and Vic. Let's
pick every game. I got the Lakers good idea eighty
two and oh you know, good idea because you know
I haven't got it.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I haven't looked at it in a while. Oh, Kate,
you are all over this. I mean, after these three
against the Phills and they don't even have to face Wheeler. Yeah,
they got Nola on Saturdays. But after that three in
the district they win, win, win, then three against the
Cubs already beat him twice, and then after that the
Rockies sellar Dweller.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
We're gonna talk to spillboards.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
They'll say that, well, change the tune when he comes on.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I see now.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I would have been a little bit worried about that
three gamer in Texas, but they got the day off
April seventeenth.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh, rest day, rest, rest day, reset ba.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I think they're gonna lose, like even more than ten games.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
See what I mean?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Like, what what's your what's your problem? Where's the value
in that?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Well, let me read somebody has a theory.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's the value in that.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Let me read you a text.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't see ten losses in anywhere on the schedule.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You guys are idiots. Let me read you a text
for the seven one to four that.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Theorizes Angel Country Petros.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You're just jaded because you don't believe in forever anymore.
You used to. You used to think your Horsburger plays
that you guys owned Who's going to last forever? And
then it would belly up, and that's when you lost
your belief in forever and perfection. You're right, I do
not believe in forever. When it comes to Horseburger, of
(14:43):
the failure of Goldenberger, Coltberger and perfection, I do not
believe in perfection. I mean perfection. They could still achieve losing,
you know, ten twenty games, but.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
I see a game they might lose. Here, Matt, what
and I hate to even bring it up, but let's
get ahead of it right now. What Sunday, July sixth,
one too early man, one o'clock game against the Houston Astros.
They're gonna about to hit the road after that, before
the All Star break, and it's Joe Davis Bobblehead. I
know the player's gonna be freaked out about the bobblehead.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Going to be lined up trying to get it for
their relatives.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, they're not focused on the game.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Dave Rob be yelling the human too.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
You know you're heading the game, guys, go on, Yeah,
you see just bobblehead away.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You see that pe You think this is just us
Willy neily pulling stuff out of our ass. This is researched.
That's Kate's recognizing, Hey, where's the first bump, where's the
first obstacle?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Bang?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
July sixth, Joe Davis, bobblehead night. That's research that's digging
into this thing.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
All right, Well, look, I'm sorry to be the negative
Nancy around here. We will talk to David Vasse at
the end of this hour. We'll do a top story
of the day on the very next second.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What the top story that he's going to be?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Hundred and sixty two?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
A positive Dodger conversation? Is it more positive Dodger conversation?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
What's there to be negative about?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Max?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Months?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He going two for twenty one?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
'tis a trifle?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Well? He was over in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Guys, I think I'm gonna have to get one of
these torpedo bets.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Friday, August first in Tampa, Win.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh, no doubt. It's Steinbrenner Field.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Come on, who's pitching Mickey mouse Ballpark?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
The Bear's pitching? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
TONI landing neck.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Pick a minor league or let him start. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Nothing matters. Man.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
If you guys are so confident in your cool guy opinion,
why don't you try to ride it around the track
with uh with spilboorgs why don't you try to take
it around with Brett Boone. I didn't hear you guys
mention it when Boonie was on with his chest out.
I didn't hear you say nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Well, I like to leave it open ended. I don't
want to lead the witness. I just say, hey, man,
you don't want to leave the witness. He spilly, how
about this start?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
If our interviews were in court, we'd be thrown.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Out immediately, and then you let them take it from there.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
What do you think about Lebron Lebron? It sucks right, right? Yeah?
Well we're divided. Not since the Civil War has there
been a divide so heavy in this Country's right. I
don't think it will. We're gonna have to be baptized
in blood after this feud.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
If you pull a tea man, Petros, you're done, dude.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I'm gonna go walk. I'm independently wealthy. I'm gonna go
walk on the beach. Really, yeah, you guys can do
the show yourselves. You can do your positive Dodger talk
without me. Kate's where's the tea man? Did he really leave? Yeah?
He left?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Really?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah? I'm calling down now. I don't know what to do.
Can you can you hop on the mic? Can co
host the rest of the show with me? I'd love to.
I'm underpaid, but a champion, champion broadcaster, Tim Kates, Tim Kates,
not me. I've lost my belief in everything. And it
(18:07):
happened when they closed my father's horseburger place in the carson.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I thought everybody wanted horse meat.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
We were mistaken. We'll be right back with the top
story of the day. What's popping? Everybody, welcome back. It's
Petros and Money on a spars back with you talking Dodgers,
(18:39):
Dodgers braves. Tonight, Dustin May's gonna pitch positive thing positive people.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's just awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Podcasts our show on the iHeartRadio app. Stream it live,
listen to it later, or you can follow us on
x Instagram, stuff like that. It's time with the top
story of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Let me tell you last night, sitting down having dinner
with the wife, pressed in and we're watching the Dodger game,
and uh, and there's mister Nah.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's it's April.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There's mister Noah, nips and ebbs. What an outing, what
a statement? What a performance? And more importantly, for the
sake of this year top story, what a postgame conversation,
A story of acceptance, of responsibility, of determination, of dedication,
and what we hope is redemption. It's a theme with
(19:44):
these Dodgers, something that for all the incoming they might
be taken from the national talking heads. I thought Bret
Boone was very down the middle yesterday, bet at times
a little bit negative about the way the Dodgers are
conducting business.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
He said, they're gonna have to down the road, Matt.
He said they were gonna have to pay their bills
down the road.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And maybe they will, but let's worry about that down
the road, mister Boone.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I can't do this, Okay, I'm not gonna do.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
This because fans of other teams suggesting that this year's
title will be nothing more than one that was one
spelled differently by scratching out the biggest check. They're in
Los Angeles, where we get to read the backstories of
each player's mindset headed into this year's World Series Championship chase.
(20:36):
Some of the sacrifices that were made to be here,
and the effort that's being put forth to become the
first team to go back to back as World Series
champs in some thirty years. Man, it's inspiring, emotionally moving.
And to hear that, old mister nah nips and apps.
(21:01):
He's going to stop throwing that weighted ball. He's gonna
stop chasing velow. He's going to start doing a little
bit more of what old mister cut out the sleeves
muscle shirt does, throwing easy, a little more long toss.
That's Kershaw changing the way he treats his body.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
And p.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Hear that his mind changing the way he treats his mind.
Like he said, Man, last year, i'd walk those two
guys in an inning, I start freaking out. I'd start
chasing it, I start overthrowing. My mechanics would get all
out of whack, and that's how I kept getting hurt
(21:43):
season after season. But then he thought, back to that
weighted ball. Maybe I don't have to throw ninety eight.
Maybe ninety six is good enough. And I'll be damned
if we didn't see it on displayed last night, A
man willing to make a sacrifice pe a sacrifice of
two to three miles an hour on his fastball to
(22:03):
make it through one hundred and sixty two to be
available for this team in October.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You're right, it is. It's almost overwhelming emotionally to consider
that sacrifice, right, and hard for me to even talk
because of the just absolute you know, it's just piercing, right,
So please continue. I'm very emotional.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It reminds me of the famous song I'm sorry, I'm
getting a little emotional susaki stuff. It reminds me of
a song lyrics song opens, Hello, my friend, we meet again.
It's been a while. Where should we begin? Feels like
(22:54):
forever moving a verse later when you are with me,
I'm free, I'm careless. I believe above all the others
will fly. This brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice.
(23:22):
I feel the same way, Tyler, I feel the same way.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I mean, because you know you've I mean, I understand
how this has been, you know, pendulous for you emotionally,
because like the pendulous breasts of a woman leaning over
you know, Matt, because because you were you know, you
were critical of of mister nips and abs. I always said,
tier Glass. Now, all the partying, all the shirtless partying,
(23:51):
only to realize that while I'm the exterior and here
at three o'clock, you're having a bit of an emotional epiphany.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I am because I realize, Yeah I was. I was
being an able. I didn't know what was going on
on the inside. Don't be like me, kidd, I only
recognized what I saw on the outside, and that was
big smiles, chugging sixteen ounce to twenty ounce beers, maybe
even twenty four ounce. Now they sell those for thirty
(24:17):
bucks at the Kings Games. I give you a fifty
Why did you just hand me seventeen dollars? It was
thirty three dollars for a beer. Well, it's twenty four ounces.
That's what I saw from Tyler Glass. Now, little did
I know on the inside, he was tortured, he was sad,
he felt like he let everybody down. And this season's gonna.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Hapen maybe because you kept saying that on the air.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Could have been, could have been? And that's why, and
that's why I harken back to that same song, Pe.
We've seen our share of ups and downs. Oh how
quickly life can turn around in an instead, in an instant,
(25:04):
in one start, I saw the difference, and quickly to
those in the national audience that don't know those backstories
that suggest this Dodger team has exploited some sort of
a loophole and it's just gonna scratch out a check
for a championship, not recognizing there's individuals with hopes and
(25:24):
fears and feelings attached to each and every one of
those checks. There have always been big spenders and thrift
store operators and ownership. This offseason, the Dodgers, buoyed by
their World Series win, became a calling card for what's
wrong with the sport inequity, with the need for even
(25:44):
if it comes with a strike and lost games or
maybe even a lost season, for the owners to get
this thing balanced out by implementing a hard salary cap
to give the pathetic Pirates, the offensive A's and the
malign Marlin's a chance. But don't they have a chance already?
(26:05):
Didn't the Guardians make the alcs last year? And isn't
their payroll clocking in at eighty million, six lowest in
the league. The White Sox, what's their excuse? Fifty nine
million dollar payroll in the third largest market in the
nation Chicago, fifty nine million Miami, the Marlins. You can't
make money in Miami where a freaking mixed drink cost
(26:27):
of fifty bucks on ocean drive and the median home
price is one point five million dollars. That's your problem.
Last year the Dodgers were eighth and payroll, they won
the World Series. The Royals, Tigers, Guardians combined two hundred
and eighty six million dollar payroll less than the Yankees
or Mets, and each of them won at least one
(26:48):
playoff series. We go back a decade, p it's the
same story. Twenty fifteen, Dodgers payroll two hundred and seventy
two million, the Marlins sixty eight. You go back twenty
years to two thousand and five, the Yankees pay roll
two hundred and five million, the Devil Rays twenty nine million.
This isn't new, This is was and will always be.
(27:10):
It's just becoming a talking point because people don't realize
the sacrifices being made by each of these players day
in day out, game in game out, all off season
to pull the rope together in a united front.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Well, Matt, I have to sift through as some of
the frosting that you have layered upon this cake. But
the A's fans and Sacramento were chanting to sell the
team last night. They were in a terrible radio mishap
where the game kept going off the air. It was
their first game at Sacramento. We did have the story
last week that the evaluations of teams are up. People
(27:55):
can see them, and the owners don't care. They're making
money and they're losing. And despite the positivity, which does
make some nauses, it's not the Dodger's fault for investing
the amount of money they make true back into the baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's exactly right. Reinvest build your business. You don't pocket
every cent of profit. Sometimes you got to buy new equipment.
You got to get that new deep friar or that
new brick oven. Instead, the A's are playing in Sacramento
West Sacramento in a fifteen thousand seed venue that their
(28:34):
opener managed to sell eleven thousand tickets.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Nice, that's right by that beautiful golden bridge.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
They're the ones taking shots. Did they not see the
contest on Saturday? The emotions streaming down the face of
Roki Sasaki as he couldn't make it out of the
second inning, How much it means to that young man,
And far too many of them said, good, that's what
you get for choosing the Dodgers. Who else was he
(29:03):
gonna choose the padres.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah, maybe her tears there He.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Would the Giants with all the poop and needles.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Hey, look, it's part of the process of getting used
to playing MLB baseball exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
He cares. Tyler Glass now cares tonight. Another opportunity for
us to celebrate overcoming obstacles in one's life. Dustin May
returns to the mound, but instead of looking at it
through blue heaven colored glasses and the return of Tyler
(29:42):
Glass now after letting his team down with his AWI
in August, Roch.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
He loves the AWI.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I don't remember what the injury was, Roki Sasaki caring
so much he was driven to tears on the bench
next to his manager.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
It was elbow injuries.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
His elbow. Let's embrace it. Let's embrace the return of
dust and May. Let's celebrate him. Let's send as much
positive energy in his direction as possible. Instead of harping
on how is this guy the fifth or when Otani
and Kershaw come back the seventh starter? It's just not fair. Well,
(30:20):
maybe you don't think it's fair to you, mister Marlin
and your dumb ass orange jersey, but it's fair to
Dustin May. It's fair to his family. Okay, oh my god,
they're going to be out there.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
You know, I'm a Christian, but I watched televangelists, you know,
and I'm like, God, I don't like that guy. It's
like I'm a Dodger fan. No, but I listen. I
just want to say, hello, my sacrifice. Would you like
(30:57):
to read some of the reaction.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Matt, Yes, I would before Dave joins us in an
instant reaction. It's always good to get it in the moment.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Isn't Matt the guy who makes fun of grown man crying?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Uh okay, hey, Pe, make it stop. Money sounds like fred.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Af what how dare you?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
I think money is subconsciously filling the void of vic
without fixed blinding positivity. Matt has to carry the load
and wash those Dodger balls. He's doing a damn good job.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I must say to start the show with Gong Miyukes
every day.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
We all know how evil Matt is, so the sarcasm
doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's not sarcasm, it's sincerity.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Is Matt on Molly, He has definitely found his sensitive sign.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I got it at the Golden Mics.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Is Matt drunk? Hey, pe make him stop. I don't
want to throw up in my mouth anymore. This positivity
is making me sick. So who's positive? Who's Who's sacrifice
is the most honorable? Scott's stap Dustin may Glass now
(32:15):
taking a couple of miles off at last ball, I
mean ninety six? Who else the sacrifice? Am I?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You saw you saw Clayton Kershaw on opening day? He
didn't cut that muscle shirts were sweating like crazy.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
That's why he likes to cut it wide.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's not easy to be the king.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Some people would say, you guys are in la why
you're punching down, you know at the a's and the
because they're punching up. That's why this says. I'm really
enjoying the positivity. Thank you keeping up, Matt.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Thank you. Well, we'll see how the rest of the
show goes. If Mackie keep Up is polya act above
all others, we will fly. Those are creed lyrics, super deep.
There's a lot of depth there. We'll be right back
with David Vasse for the latest on these Dodgers might
(33:17):
as well be the Knights. Of Templar.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Thatt your some money.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
A five to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app going till six o'clock tonight. Dodgers on Deck
will start and then a seven to ten first pitch
against the Braves.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
It's time for David Vasse, the Home of.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
The Dodgers with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
is the Vassi Report with David Vasse, the man.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
That wields the AM five seventy LA sports microphone, Spectrum,
Sportsnet two and MLB Network. David Vasse, Dodger reporter extra ordinaire,
joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
He went to Mexicali Taco Company today and tried to
reclaim it for himself on Figaroa And here he is
(34:11):
Dodgers Braves tonight before the Getaway Day game tomorrow. Dave,
what's Croggan? How are you?
Speaker 7 (34:18):
I'm doing great, stomach is full and Freddie Freeman was
back down here on the field and that was a
great sign. You know. Yesterday Dave Roberts said that Freddie
slipped and fell in his shower tub on Saturday night,
which didn't make a lot of sense considering the Dodgers
played on Saturday night. That would have meant Freddie Freeman
(34:41):
showered at the stadium and is so health conscious about
his cleanliness that he showered again at home. Well, Freddie
explained to us just about an hour ago that he
slipped and fell at about ten thirty in the morning
on Sunday, the off day, and that's where where things
kind of went sideways on him, so much so he
(35:03):
couldn't drive himself to the stadium for three hours of treatment,
but luckily was able to drive himself home after. Here's
what Freddy had to say about the embarrassing fall.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
So Sunday morning, about ten to fifteen, I went to
go take a shower and literally stepped in and slipped
me could have been a lot worse. I fell on everything,
So I got it in my head or anything like that.
But maybe we really want to get into our master bedroom.
Bathroom had a leak, so we're getting that fixed. I
got fixed today. So I've been showering in a different bedroom,
(35:36):
which is a bathtub shower. So I stepped in and
my foot slid and I went down. I mean, so
Sunday morning, I was gonna come here for an immortal session,
like a little treatment, and turned into a three hour
session of treatment. So my wife had to drive me
to the field Sunday morning, so I couldn't really drive.
But by the time treatment was over, I could drive.
(35:58):
So I'm feeling a lot better. Yesterday it was just
a full treatment day, and today I'm going to go
through everything. So the plans. If everything goes well, I'll
be back out there tomorrow. But with the day off
on Thursday, they are pushing for me to play Friday.
But I'm going to do everything I can to get
out there tomorrow. But freak accident can't really make it
(36:19):
up crazy. Yeah, I slipped in about the shower. That's
literally what happened, all right.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
That was the blow by blow from Freddy Freeman, so all.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
As well, No conspiracy theory shipped slipped in the shower,
just a little bit of a timeline. Was off day.
But how about Kik playing some first base, showing off
the depth of this team and how ridiculous it is
when a guy like Freddy Freeman goes down. You really
don't worry, Well, you would worry long term, but you
really don't worry at all in a game or two.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
Right, and you look at the Dodgers six and oh start,
they're three and oh without Mookie betson the starting lineup,
and now three and oh without Freddy Freeman in the
starting line Not too many teams can can lose a
player the caliber of Mookie Beds or the caliber of
Freddie Freeman and not miss a beat. As an offense,
it does help to have a guy that hit fifty
(37:11):
four home runs leading off for you in show ay Otani.
So yeah, it's the Dodgers are a team that could
beat you in so many different ways with their pitching,
with their offense. It's going to be tough to take
them down this year.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Accident day they shower. David Vassa joins us on AMPI
seventy LA Sports. So when do you think Freddy will
be back?
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Dave? I would venture to say Saturday, because there is
rain in the forecast on Friday night in Philadelphia, it's
going to be ringing and cold. So I kind of
feel like the Dodgers are going to assess whether or
not they're going to play the game on time, and
whether or not there's going to be a delay or
(37:53):
not and read and react, especially with Freddie having to
fly across country. So the good news is Freddy had
X rays on that right ankle that he had surgery
on after last season after the World Series. The x
rays did not show any phone chipping. So that's the
reason why he could have a good sense of humor
about it and joke around. But yeah, I would say
(38:14):
he's going to push for Friday, but the Dodgers are
going to have to decide as far as the conditions
in Philadelphia on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Give us an idea of what you think it's going
to feel like in the clubhouse, Dave down in the bullpen,
in the stands, with maybe some family or friends. I mean,
Dustin May has not pitched since twenty twenty three, and
he's going to be out there tonight for the first
time in a year and a half. Kind of what
do you suspect we're going to see out there?
Speaker 7 (38:41):
A lot of emotion, Matt. He was emotional in Anaheim
when he pitched there, And you're right, May seventeen, twenty
twenty three, was the last time he pitched in a
major league stadium. And it's not so much about him
coming back from his elbow surgery more than he came
back from a life threatening surgery and situation, as you
guys know of. So his wife was right behind the
(39:04):
Dodger dugout at Angel Stadium for an exhibition game. I'm
sure Mike Levy and the fortunate La cameras well, we'll
have a IO on her throughout the first part of
this game tonight. So yeah, it's going to be emotionally
charged for him, and he's going to have to control that.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Speaking of emotionally charged, Dave, what are the concerns about
Roki Sasaki after his last outing.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
His teammates keep telling me that he was just overwhelmed
and nervous pitching at Dodger Stadium for the first time.
The Japanese media has a different take on things. They
believe that his resilience was never tested in Japan and
it's being tested right now, and everybody wants to see
how he's able to bounce back from that. I'll be
(39:52):
candid with you guys. The Japanese reporters that have followed
his career, they're aren't sure how this season is going
to go for Suzaki has to adjust to the new baseball,
the new pitching mound, a whole new environment. We saw
the learning curve for Yamamoto, who was a much more
accomplished and polished pitcher when he came to the Dodgers
last year. This guy really hasn't accomplished even a third
(40:15):
of what Yamamoto did in Japan. So he's a lot younger,
So we'll have to see how he bounces back from
what a lot of people believe was not a great
first two starts.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Not to be insensitive considering how emotional he got, Dave,
but I mean you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
What do you mean that's been very sensitive today?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Don't worry, you know, two starts, nine walks can't make
it out of the second inning. Like if it happens
a third time, do you think they start talking about
moving him somewhere and seeing if he can just kind
of fix some things before sending him back out there again.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Well, look, Kershaw's on the road back, but he's not
going to be back for another four weeks or so.
Landon Neck and Bobby Miller are waiting on standby on
the aircraft carrier, ready to go if if they need backup.
I don't see the Dodgers sending Roki Sazaki down. I
could see them technically doing some roster maneuvering that triggers
(41:14):
him being able to go to Camelback Ranch to work
on things. But I don't see him pitching at Oklahoma
City if they feel like he needs a breather.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
David Vasse have to ask you, Dave Without, I mean,
when will the without being weird? When will this team lose?
Chris Sales pretty good? Could it be to night?
Speaker 7 (41:34):
I think I do believe tonight's tonight the Dodgers lose
their first game, Yes, I do, And I feel like
smil Villa will pick up the piece of tomorrow to
win the series.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
What what happened all that positivity vat?
Speaker 2 (41:48):
I mean, of all the games, you gotta pick tonight,
the emotional return of Dustin May, all the positive vibes
you could have said.
Speaker 7 (41:55):
Not going for the braves tonight, and he.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Got lit up by the Padres the day he didn't.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
He gave up three runs in five innings.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
That's a lot, news.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Is that a lot?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
That's a lot?
Speaker 4 (42:06):
Does it feel like that's five in a game?
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Can't win every single game? Tonight is tonight. The Dodgers
are probably the most vulnerable without Freddy, with a guy
that hasn't pitched in the Big League since twenty twenty three,
A lot of emotion out there. I believe the Braves
get their first win of the year. They're not going winless.
And tomorrow night, on Getaway Day, the great Blake Snell
(42:30):
wins his second game as a Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
See there's the agenda. P He says, lost tonight, but
they'll be.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Shot your agenda in the last segment by being all
emotional and talking about how the team never gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
I mean, why would they?
Speaker 4 (42:45):
What we have here is.
Speaker 7 (42:48):
One thing I can guarantee is that there will be
no tears from Dustin May or Blake Snell the next
two nights.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
They are wired a little differently.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Dave wonderful work as always, And that was great. Freddie
sound yeah, Freddie Freeman, to the bottom of it, exactly
what happened.
Speaker 7 (43:04):
I was staring at that right ankle, and he finally
walked over. He knew I wanted to talk. I said, Hey,
let's do this, Freddy. Ron Washington would say, Frederick.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Fredericks, Yeah, there's a leak in the master Matt Ronald
and Frederick.
Speaker 7 (43:22):
I mean as a skinny fat guy. I've almost flipped
and fell in my tub slash shower with some soap
at the bottom of the tub right there, but I've
caught myself. I've never gone all the way down, but
down Goest Freeman on Sunday morning.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
I thought for sure that you'd be like a bath
bomb guy.
Speaker 7 (43:45):
I'm sure, I'm sure you are.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
Oh yeah, you know. I like to really relax and
be positive. Think about h name of that.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Store where you get the kids like that that that
they get the bath bomb slips. That store my kids
love so much. Tomorrow No, yeah, she does like that one.
But there's another one where they have a lot of kids. No,
there's a lot of toys. When when it sizzles away.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
There's nothing better than ay? Is there?
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Matt uh a plus?
Speaker 1 (44:14):
No better?
Speaker 2 (44:18):
I guess no?
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Nolush?
Speaker 7 (44:21):
Lush? Lush is the place to get all the bath body.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Oh yeah, I remember that place, Lush. Good call.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
Hey, I'm here for your baseball.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
And bath bomb. Thank you, Dave. Have a great guy, David.

There's no doubt about it. Matt, I got a text.
Woke up this morning, got a text on the secret text.
Also line, this secret text dos.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
A line brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
You must feel pretty stupid for doubting the Dodgers can
go one hundred and sixty two and oh stupid win
last night. Money is onto something.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Appreciate that textosor so, you got a lot to do?
You do you feel stupid always? But not because of that?
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You can change? You can change right now.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I'm gonna stand on this hill all right.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know I'm gonna stand there alone.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I know it's gonna be Soto's last stand, Elsto's last stand.
But I will stand on this hill, Matt, and I
will say I say, I say, I say that even
though the Dodgers could win tonight against that big, skinny Cryssaille,
they're not gonna win every game this season.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And now, like, let this just take a moment here
kind of pull out. Let's get a wide angle lens.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh, you want to go to the blimp. Get out
in the carson and get in the blimp.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I want you to recognize, like how your negativity affects others? Yes,
Like what how hard is it to say? Yeah, I
totally think they could go one hundred and sixty two
and zero. I can see it, but it's going it's
that hard.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Well, and it's hard to say because I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It, Matt, How can you not believe it after what
you've said thus far?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You're right, you know they've been dominant. They've been dominant. Uh,
they've beat great pitchers like Schooble, they went in Japan.
I think the Braves haven't won a game yet.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They haven't.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
The last time they started a season like this, I
think they won the World Series in ninety one.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But see that's a negative stat You're talking about the
winless Braves somehow being able to win a World Series
despite starting the season zero and five. And yet you're
unwilling to commit here in Los Angeles, to this market
where people love the Dodgers more than any other sports team. Well,
one hundred and sixty two and zero.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So okay, so I'm a bad guy, But are you?
Are you like a walking edition sign, Like are you
are you endorsing the idea that the Dodgers are going
to be one hundred and sixty two? And oh?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Why would I think anything else?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Well, I don't know. Are you going to ask all
of our guests if they think it's possible?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
What have we got on today?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Ryan Spilborg's from Apple TV and the Colorado Rocky the
guy played for the Rockies, And.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'm not going to ask him. I don't want to
put him into that spot, you know what I mean?
Like we we appreciate our guests.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
But you want to put me into that spot?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, I just think based on that text though, so
you recognize like the negative effect you can have on
our sporting community and it spanned them by not supporting
the idea that this team could go on?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Are you saying zero? I'm like a super swol guy
closing a door and I ripped the handle off because
I don't know my own strength and I'm just I
don't understand the power of my opinion and it casts
a negative Paul across the town. A great paull on
the city of Los Angeles a malaise. If I say
(04:44):
that I don't think the Dodgers are going to go undefeated,
because I don't. I mean, I really don't. Like you
want me to lie.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Imagine yeah, that that works, or imagine you know, we
all go as a show to French laundry, okay, and
we're waiting two hours for our table.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Which is a really nice restaurant in Wine Country area
for those of you that don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We finally get our table.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
We're not actually going to a laundry France.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We finally get our table, We sit down, and you
bellow for everyone across the whole restaurant to here. There
is no way this meal is going to be worth
fourteen hundred dollars. No way, everyone, And there's like, well,
I'm only to commit fourteen hundred dollars for my meal
(05:36):
for two. I'm very excited about the prospects of how
delicious this is going to be. Yet you have cast
a pall over everybody else by day there's no chance
that could be possible.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I'm wrecking it, going in, wreckon it, going in like
we're in the rotten line for the Colossus in nineteen
eighty eight, and I'm like, this run putting.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Coaster shucks steal from this.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Why are we here? It can't be worth the monk.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, but you wait until we get right to the
front of the line. We've waited there. I mean, we've
been through yesterday and we mentioned it.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Tell a story about your weekends. Say you told your
wife there's no way we're going to that breakfast burrito place.
I'm not paying twenty two dollars for That's what I'm saying, Matt,
there's no way.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, sounds like you're all alone, my friend. Welcome to
Los Angeles. Embrace the culture. Dodger fans everywhere they believe.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm from here. They believe they believe all right, Well,
I mean, if Tim Kate's and David Massey.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is going to join us this out, I bet he believes.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I don't think he believes.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I bet he does.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
One hundred and sixty two and O I'm buying the
domain right.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Now, Dodgers one sixty two D zero.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I mean, I'm not saying they're not great.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Bill Blaski says one hundred and sixty two and oh
he tweets it out every time you win.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, I get it, and that's great. But you know,
Bill's not exactly an oracle when it comes to predicting championships.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Ah, this is the best Dowger Tim I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Oh god, I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
In the first round.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Bill.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, yeah, no, God, you know, I mean, Bill proclaims
one thing or another all the time. He's got to
write four times a week, for God's sakes, guy's got
to work.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I just you know, I don't see how they lose
a game. I don't see it. I watched I've watched
every every game, not the entirety, in their entirety.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Of course, but who could be expected exactly? Come on,
that's crazy, Tom, Well, you're able to build an opinion,
you know. I mean, your baseball expertise is such, Matt,
that you don't need to watch. Like, all you really
need to do is look at the box score, and
you know you can read it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I like to get at least, you know, a few
outs in there, you know, at least at least a
good solid twelve to fifteen outs, and then I feel
like I can get a real good read, right is going?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And you got a good read that this is going
all the way to the moon.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All the way to the moon now sixty it's a
Wally moonshot.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Okay, well, I'm not rooting tomorrow. I'm not rooting for
the team that fills our coffers. Sounds like it, and
Kates has offers to lose.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
How does this team lose, Matt when like Will Smith
has a bad night or I'm sorry, Mookie Betts will
pick him up, right, Rookie Betts has a bad night, Okay,
Freddy Freeman takes Oh, Michael CONFORDO is gonna hit a
double driving a couple of runs.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
In the seventh spot, some vegetable takes down Dustin May
and Chris Sayle emerges and you lose tonight, and then
this whole story's over. And just so you guys know
that I'm not alone on that hill. I have a
friend to trade with and to play Pokemon and play Uno.
(08:33):
Isabelle texted me on the secret text tost So and
said this, Matt, I agree with you. P that won't happen.
What everyone is crazy, even money? How does it feel
to be crazy? Fool?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Hey, you know what, go ahead and confine me because
I'm happy being crazy. If I'm crazy about the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
If I'm crazy about the Dodgers, and put me away
and lock up the now, Matt, here's an interesting prospect.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Just because your guys playing like crap and you want
you want him to bring the rest of the team
down old two for twenty one, Max Muncie.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
They're able to overcome his two for twenty one and
still be undefeated.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And that guy's already talked in torpedo bats. It started
out so bad.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Let me send you this text, Matt over the air, okay,
because this is an interesting prospect. Now I'm feeling unstable.
What if the Dodgers are one hundred and sixty when
one hundred and sixty one and then and then no,
I couldna taken. What if they're right on the brink?
(09:39):
Oh man, Isabelle says, Tim is crazy too, Hey, Tim,
how does it feel to be a lunatic idiot? Huh?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I love it? I love it about one.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Hundred and sixty, Oh you idiot, love it?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Umber Man. They just can't see what we can see, Tim,
They can't see it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
They're not real Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Nope, they don't recognize what we recognize.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Look, you this, Matt, Jesus Petros again with the negativity. Right,
you're the guy who hates on those men who do
drugs with their dogs, aren't you. Why can't you let
people bask in that good undefeated season goodness?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's a great point. It's a great point, Pete. Guess what,
you can hold your position as soon as they lose
their first game. If they lose a.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Game, Chris Sale, You guys are gonna sell with Chris
Sale on the mound.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I'm looking at the schedule right now. I don't see
them losing the game, Matt, I don't look it. I
just looked at the entire schedule.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Now, did you actually did you get the whole schedule
or are you just looking at the first half the
whole schedule?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
A beautiful I mean possibly? No, No, not go win
that game? I mean Phillies this weekend. You kidding me
out there in city of brotherly love, some of us.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
This text says, I'm listening naked right now at my
Sancha's house, blow drying my pubes, and I can't stop laughing.
Matt is riding his meth high that he shared with
his dog, and wear his cats licking his golden mic
wounds losing to a lawn bowling story. This show slaps
(11:13):
you know what.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
In an era of manscaping the blow drying your pubs,
unfortunately a skill that has gone by the wayside in
many parts.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Matt some real hatred coming like a like a like
a sharp knife from the five to five nine says
Matt's pompousness is utterly suffocating. So Matt should always believe
that he can catch every tube. That's right. That's how
he serves.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Eddie would go surfing tubes, man, Eddie would go.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And everybody knows Fresno's Giant's country. So that's a hater.
That's a hater ass hater text right there.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Hate p stop putting out the negativity, stay positive and
root for the nlgonas and root for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That's right, but not for Alex Eave them.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
All.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Guys are bullies.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I knew Kate's was coked up, but what's up with Matt.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I'm just riding high, man, I'm riding on all these
Dodger wins.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I'm gonna be the guy to say that it's not
gonna happen. And you're gonna remember my face when the
Dodgers take that first.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
L Remember your face. I'm gonna remind you every day
of that face and how stupid you must feel you look.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
At the mirror today, idiot, the Dodger. Dodgers want to
get last log and wins Man. They're ten and oh
you done yet? Acting like an idiot? Idiot, stupid face?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You want to you want to have let us talk
mister insensitive before tonight.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
What about Dave? If that's the story.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Don't put the Hey, don't you put this on him?
I expect him to come on in the very next
segment or back end of this hour, right or next
hour WEDNESDAYVI on before five, before the end of this
hour and support the position that Kates and I are
currently occupying.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Just because we put Steve Hartman on yesterday doesn't mean
we have to do a Steve Michael and Vic. Let's
pick every game. I got the Lakers good idea eighty
two and oh you know, good idea because you know
I haven't got it.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I haven't looked at it in a while. Oh, Kate,
you are all over this. I mean, after these three
against the Phills and they don't even have to face Wheeler. Yeah,
they got Nola on Saturdays. But after that three in
the district they win, win, win, then three against the
Cubs already beat him twice, and then after that the
Rockies sellar Dweller.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
We're gonna talk to spillboards.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
They'll say that, well, change the tune when he comes on.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I see now.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I would have been a little bit worried about that
three gamer in Texas, but they got the day off
April seventeenth.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh, rest day, rest, rest day, reset ba.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I think they're gonna lose, like even more than ten games.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
See what I mean?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Like, what what's your what's your problem? Where's the value
in that?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Well, let me read somebody has a theory.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's the value in that.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Let me read you a text.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't see ten losses in anywhere on the schedule.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You guys are idiots. Let me read you a text
for the seven one to four that.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Theorizes Angel Country Petros.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You're just jaded because you don't believe in forever anymore.
You used to. You used to think your Horsburger plays
that you guys owned Who's going to last forever? And
then it would belly up, and that's when you lost
your belief in forever and perfection. You're right, I do
not believe in forever. When it comes to Horseburger, of
(14:43):
the failure of Goldenberger, Coltberger and perfection, I do not
believe in perfection. I mean perfection. They could still achieve losing,
you know, ten twenty games, but.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
I see a game they might lose. Here, Matt, what
and I hate to even bring it up, but let's
get ahead of it right now. What Sunday, July sixth,
one too early man, one o'clock game against the Houston Astros.
They're gonna about to hit the road after that, before
the All Star break, and it's Joe Davis Bobblehead. I
know the player's gonna be freaked out about the bobblehead.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Going to be lined up trying to get it for
their relatives.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, they're not focused on the game.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Dave Rob be yelling the human too.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
You know you're heading the game, guys, go on, Yeah,
you see just bobblehead away.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You see that pe You think this is just us
Willy neily pulling stuff out of our ass. This is researched.
That's Kate's recognizing, Hey, where's the first bump, where's the
first obstacle?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Bang?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
July sixth, Joe Davis, bobblehead night. That's research that's digging
into this thing.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
All right, Well, look, I'm sorry to be the negative
Nancy around here. We will talk to David Vasse at
the end of this hour. We'll do a top story
of the day on the very next second.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What the top story that he's going to be?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Hundred and sixty two?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
A positive Dodger conversation? Is it more positive Dodger conversation?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
What's there to be negative about?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Max?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Months?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He going two for twenty one?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
'tis a trifle?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Well? He was over in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Guys, I think I'm gonna have to get one of
these torpedo bets.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Friday, August first in Tampa, Win.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh, no doubt. It's Steinbrenner Field.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Come on, who's pitching Mickey mouse Ballpark?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
The Bear's pitching? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
TONI landing neck.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Pick a minor league or let him start. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Nothing matters. Man.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
If you guys are so confident in your cool guy opinion,
why don't you try to ride it around the track
with uh with spilboorgs why don't you try to take
it around with Brett Boone. I didn't hear you guys
mention it when Boonie was on with his chest out.
I didn't hear you say nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Well, I like to leave it open ended. I don't
want to lead the witness. I just say, hey, man,
you don't want to leave the witness. He spilly, how
about this start?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
If our interviews were in court, we'd be thrown.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Out immediately, and then you let them take it from there.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
What do you think about Lebron Lebron? It sucks right, right? Yeah?
Well we're divided. Not since the Civil War has there
been a divide so heavy in this Country's right. I
don't think it will. We're gonna have to be baptized
in blood after this feud.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
If you pull a tea man, Petros, you're done, dude.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I'm gonna go walk. I'm independently wealthy. I'm gonna go
walk on the beach. Really, yeah, you guys can do
the show yourselves. You can do your positive Dodger talk
without me. Kate's where's the tea man? Did he really leave? Yeah?
He left?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Really?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah? I'm calling down now. I don't know what to do.
Can you can you hop on the mic? Can co
host the rest of the show with me? I'd love to.
I'm underpaid, but a champion, champion broadcaster, Tim Kates, Tim Kates,
not me. I've lost my belief in everything. And it
(18:07):
happened when they closed my father's horseburger place in the carson.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I thought everybody wanted horse meat.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
We were mistaken. We'll be right back with the top
story of the day. What's popping? Everybody, welcome back. It's
Petros and Money on a spars back with you talking Dodgers,
(18:39):
Dodgers braves. Tonight, Dustin May's gonna pitch positive thing positive people.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's just awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Podcasts our show on the iHeartRadio app. Stream it live,
listen to it later, or you can follow us on
x Instagram, stuff like that. It's time with the top
story of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Let me tell you last night, sitting down having dinner
with the wife, pressed in and we're watching the Dodger game,
and uh, and there's mister Nah.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's it's April.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There's mister Noah, nips and ebbs. What an outing, what
a statement? What a performance? And more importantly, for the
sake of this year top story, what a postgame conversation,
A story of acceptance, of responsibility, of determination, of dedication,
and what we hope is redemption. It's a theme with
(19:44):
these Dodgers, something that for all the incoming they might
be taken from the national talking heads. I thought Bret
Boone was very down the middle yesterday, bet at times
a little bit negative about the way the Dodgers are
conducting business.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
He said, they're gonna have to down the road, Matt.
He said they were gonna have to pay their bills
down the road.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And maybe they will, but let's worry about that down
the road, mister Boone.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I can't do this, Okay, I'm not gonna do.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
This because fans of other teams suggesting that this year's
title will be nothing more than one that was one
spelled differently by scratching out the biggest check. They're in
Los Angeles, where we get to read the backstories of
each player's mindset headed into this year's World Series Championship chase.
(20:36):
Some of the sacrifices that were made to be here,
and the effort that's being put forth to become the
first team to go back to back as World Series
champs in some thirty years. Man, it's inspiring, emotionally moving.
And to hear that, old mister nah nips and apps.
(21:01):
He's going to stop throwing that weighted ball. He's gonna
stop chasing velow. He's going to start doing a little
bit more of what old mister cut out the sleeves
muscle shirt does, throwing easy, a little more long toss.
That's Kershaw changing the way he treats his body.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
And p.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Hear that his mind changing the way he treats his mind.
Like he said, Man, last year, i'd walk those two
guys in an inning, I start freaking out. I'd start
chasing it, I start overthrowing. My mechanics would get all
out of whack, and that's how I kept getting hurt
(21:43):
season after season. But then he thought, back to that
weighted ball. Maybe I don't have to throw ninety eight.
Maybe ninety six is good enough. And I'll be damned
if we didn't see it on displayed last night, A
man willing to make a sacrifice pe a sacrifice of
two to three miles an hour on his fastball to
(22:03):
make it through one hundred and sixty two to be
available for this team in October.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You're right, it is. It's almost overwhelming emotionally to consider
that sacrifice, right, and hard for me to even talk
because of the just absolute you know, it's just piercing, right,
So please continue. I'm very emotional.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It reminds me of the famous song I'm sorry, I'm
getting a little emotional susaki stuff. It reminds me of
a song lyrics song opens, Hello, my friend, we meet again.
It's been a while. Where should we begin? Feels like
(22:54):
forever moving a verse later when you are with me,
I'm free, I'm careless. I believe above all the others
will fly. This brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice.
(23:22):
I feel the same way, Tyler, I feel the same way.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I mean, because you know you've I mean, I understand
how this has been, you know, pendulous for you emotionally,
because like the pendulous breasts of a woman leaning over
you know, Matt, because because you were you know, you
were critical of of mister nips and abs. I always said,
tier Glass. Now, all the partying, all the shirtless partying,
(23:51):
only to realize that while I'm the exterior and here
at three o'clock, you're having a bit of an emotional epiphany.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I am because I realize, Yeah I was. I was
being an able. I didn't know what was going on
on the inside. Don't be like me, kidd, I only
recognized what I saw on the outside, and that was
big smiles, chugging sixteen ounce to twenty ounce beers, maybe
even twenty four ounce. Now they sell those for thirty
(24:17):
bucks at the Kings Games. I give you a fifty
Why did you just hand me seventeen dollars? It was
thirty three dollars for a beer. Well, it's twenty four ounces.
That's what I saw from Tyler Glass. Now, little did
I know on the inside, he was tortured, he was sad,
he felt like he let everybody down. And this season's gonna.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Hapen maybe because you kept saying that on the air.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Could have been, could have been? And that's why, and
that's why I harken back to that same song, Pe.
We've seen our share of ups and downs. Oh how
quickly life can turn around in an instead, in an instant,
(25:04):
in one start, I saw the difference, and quickly to
those in the national audience that don't know those backstories
that suggest this Dodger team has exploited some sort of
a loophole and it's just gonna scratch out a check
for a championship, not recognizing there's individuals with hopes and
(25:24):
fears and feelings attached to each and every one of
those checks. There have always been big spenders and thrift
store operators and ownership. This offseason, the Dodgers, buoyed by
their World Series win, became a calling card for what's
wrong with the sport inequity, with the need for even
(25:44):
if it comes with a strike and lost games or
maybe even a lost season, for the owners to get
this thing balanced out by implementing a hard salary cap
to give the pathetic Pirates, the offensive A's and the
malign Marlin's a chance. But don't they have a chance already?
(26:05):
Didn't the Guardians make the alcs last year? And isn't
their payroll clocking in at eighty million, six lowest in
the league. The White Sox, what's their excuse? Fifty nine
million dollar payroll in the third largest market in the
nation Chicago, fifty nine million Miami, the Marlins. You can't
make money in Miami where a freaking mixed drink cost
(26:27):
of fifty bucks on ocean drive and the median home
price is one point five million dollars. That's your problem.
Last year the Dodgers were eighth and payroll, they won
the World Series. The Royals, Tigers, Guardians combined two hundred
and eighty six million dollar payroll less than the Yankees
or Mets, and each of them won at least one
(26:48):
playoff series. We go back a decade, p it's the
same story. Twenty fifteen, Dodgers payroll two hundred and seventy
two million, the Marlins sixty eight. You go back twenty
years to two thousand and five, the Yankees pay roll
two hundred and five million, the Devil Rays twenty nine million.
This isn't new, This is was and will always be.
(27:10):
It's just becoming a talking point because people don't realize
the sacrifices being made by each of these players day
in day out, game in game out, all off season
to pull the rope together in a united front.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Well, Matt, I have to sift through as some of
the frosting that you have layered upon this cake. But
the A's fans and Sacramento were chanting to sell the
team last night. They were in a terrible radio mishap
where the game kept going off the air. It was
their first game at Sacramento. We did have the story
last week that the evaluations of teams are up. People
(27:55):
can see them, and the owners don't care. They're making
money and they're losing. And despite the positivity, which does
make some nauses, it's not the Dodger's fault for investing
the amount of money they make true back into the baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's exactly right. Reinvest build your business. You don't pocket
every cent of profit. Sometimes you got to buy new equipment.
You got to get that new deep friar or that
new brick oven. Instead, the A's are playing in Sacramento
West Sacramento in a fifteen thousand seed venue that their
(28:34):
opener managed to sell eleven thousand tickets.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Nice, that's right by that beautiful golden bridge.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
They're the ones taking shots. Did they not see the
contest on Saturday? The emotions streaming down the face of
Roki Sasaki as he couldn't make it out of the
second inning, How much it means to that young man,
And far too many of them said, good, that's what
you get for choosing the Dodgers. Who else was he
(29:03):
gonna choose the padres.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah, maybe her tears there He.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Would the Giants with all the poop and needles.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Hey, look, it's part of the process of getting used
to playing MLB baseball exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
He cares. Tyler Glass now cares tonight. Another opportunity for
us to celebrate overcoming obstacles in one's life. Dustin May
returns to the mound, but instead of looking at it
through blue heaven colored glasses and the return of Tyler
(29:42):
Glass now after letting his team down with his AWI
in August, Roch.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
He loves the AWI.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I don't remember what the injury was, Roki Sasaki caring
so much he was driven to tears on the bench
next to his manager.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
It was elbow injuries.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
His elbow. Let's embrace it. Let's embrace the return of
dust and May. Let's celebrate him. Let's send as much
positive energy in his direction as possible. Instead of harping
on how is this guy the fifth or when Otani
and Kershaw come back the seventh starter? It's just not fair. Well,
(30:20):
maybe you don't think it's fair to you, mister Marlin
and your dumb ass orange jersey, but it's fair to
Dustin May. It's fair to his family. Okay, oh my god,
they're going to be out there.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
You know, I'm a Christian, but I watched televangelists, you know,
and I'm like, God, I don't like that guy. It's
like I'm a Dodger fan. No, but I listen. I
just want to say, hello, my sacrifice. Would you like
(30:57):
to read some of the reaction.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Matt, Yes, I would before Dave joins us in an
instant reaction. It's always good to get it in the moment.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Isn't Matt the guy who makes fun of grown man crying?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Uh okay, hey, Pe, make it stop. Money sounds like fred.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Af what how dare you?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
I think money is subconsciously filling the void of vic
without fixed blinding positivity. Matt has to carry the load
and wash those Dodger balls. He's doing a damn good job.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I must say to start the show with Gong Miyukes
every day.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
We all know how evil Matt is, so the sarcasm
doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's not sarcasm, it's sincerity.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Is Matt on Molly, He has definitely found his sensitive sign.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I got it at the Golden Mics.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Is Matt drunk? Hey, pe make him stop. I don't
want to throw up in my mouth anymore. This positivity
is making me sick. So who's positive? Who's Who's sacrifice
is the most honorable? Scott's stap Dustin may Glass now
(32:15):
taking a couple of miles off at last ball, I
mean ninety six? Who else the sacrifice? Am I?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You saw you saw Clayton Kershaw on opening day? He
didn't cut that muscle shirts were sweating like crazy.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
That's why he likes to cut it wide.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's not easy to be the king.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Some people would say, you guys are in la why
you're punching down, you know at the a's and the
because they're punching up. That's why this says. I'm really
enjoying the positivity. Thank you keeping up, Matt.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Thank you. Well, we'll see how the rest of the
show goes. If Mackie keep Up is polya act above
all others, we will fly. Those are creed lyrics, super deep.
There's a lot of depth there. We'll be right back
with David Vasse for the latest on these Dodgers might
(33:17):
as well be the Knights. Of Templar.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Thatt your some money.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
A five to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app going till six o'clock tonight. Dodgers on Deck
will start and then a seven to ten first pitch
against the Braves.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
It's time for David Vasse, the Home of.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
The Dodgers with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
is the Vassi Report with David Vasse, the man.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
That wields the AM five seventy LA sports microphone, Spectrum,
Sportsnet two and MLB Network. David Vasse, Dodger reporter extra ordinaire,
joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
He went to Mexicali Taco Company today and tried to
reclaim it for himself on Figaroa And here he is
(34:11):
Dodgers Braves tonight before the Getaway Day game tomorrow. Dave,
what's Croggan? How are you?
Speaker 7 (34:18):
I'm doing great, stomach is full and Freddie Freeman was
back down here on the field and that was a
great sign. You know. Yesterday Dave Roberts said that Freddie
slipped and fell in his shower tub on Saturday night,
which didn't make a lot of sense considering the Dodgers
played on Saturday night. That would have meant Freddie Freeman
(34:41):
showered at the stadium and is so health conscious about
his cleanliness that he showered again at home. Well, Freddie
explained to us just about an hour ago that he
slipped and fell at about ten thirty in the morning
on Sunday, the off day, and that's where where things
kind of went sideways on him, so much so he
(35:03):
couldn't drive himself to the stadium for three hours of treatment,
but luckily was able to drive himself home after. Here's
what Freddy had to say about the embarrassing fall.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
So Sunday morning, about ten to fifteen, I went to
go take a shower and literally stepped in and slipped
me could have been a lot worse. I fell on everything,
So I got it in my head or anything like that.
But maybe we really want to get into our master bedroom.
Bathroom had a leak, so we're getting that fixed. I
got fixed today. So I've been showering in a different bedroom,
(35:36):
which is a bathtub shower. So I stepped in and
my foot slid and I went down. I mean, so
Sunday morning, I was gonna come here for an immortal session,
like a little treatment, and turned into a three hour
session of treatment. So my wife had to drive me
to the field Sunday morning, so I couldn't really drive.
But by the time treatment was over, I could drive.
(35:58):
So I'm feeling a lot better. Yesterday it was just
a full treatment day, and today I'm going to go
through everything. So the plans. If everything goes well, I'll
be back out there tomorrow. But with the day off
on Thursday, they are pushing for me to play Friday.
But I'm going to do everything I can to get
out there tomorrow. But freak accident can't really make it
(36:19):
up crazy. Yeah, I slipped in about the shower. That's
literally what happened, all right.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
That was the blow by blow from Freddy Freeman, so all.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
As well, No conspiracy theory shipped slipped in the shower,
just a little bit of a timeline. Was off day.
But how about Kik playing some first base, showing off
the depth of this team and how ridiculous it is
when a guy like Freddy Freeman goes down. You really
don't worry, Well, you would worry long term, but you
really don't worry at all in a game or two.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
Right, and you look at the Dodgers six and oh start,
they're three and oh without Mookie betson the starting lineup,
and now three and oh without Freddy Freeman in the
starting line Not too many teams can can lose a
player the caliber of Mookie Beds or the caliber of
Freddie Freeman and not miss a beat. As an offense,
it does help to have a guy that hit fifty
(37:11):
four home runs leading off for you in show ay Otani.
So yeah, it's the Dodgers are a team that could
beat you in so many different ways with their pitching,
with their offense. It's going to be tough to take
them down this year.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Accident day they shower. David Vassa joins us on AMPI
seventy LA Sports. So when do you think Freddy will
be back?
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Dave? I would venture to say Saturday, because there is
rain in the forecast on Friday night in Philadelphia, it's
going to be ringing and cold. So I kind of
feel like the Dodgers are going to assess whether or
not they're going to play the game on time, and
whether or not there's going to be a delay or
(37:53):
not and read and react, especially with Freddie having to
fly across country. So the good news is Freddy had
X rays on that right ankle that he had surgery
on after last season after the World Series. The x
rays did not show any phone chipping. So that's the
reason why he could have a good sense of humor
about it and joke around. But yeah, I would say
(38:14):
he's going to push for Friday, but the Dodgers are
going to have to decide as far as the conditions
in Philadelphia on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Give us an idea of what you think it's going
to feel like in the clubhouse, Dave down in the bullpen,
in the stands, with maybe some family or friends. I mean,
Dustin May has not pitched since twenty twenty three, and
he's going to be out there tonight for the first
time in a year and a half. Kind of what
do you suspect we're going to see out there?
Speaker 7 (38:41):
A lot of emotion, Matt. He was emotional in Anaheim
when he pitched there, And you're right, May seventeen, twenty
twenty three, was the last time he pitched in a
major league stadium. And it's not so much about him
coming back from his elbow surgery more than he came
back from a life threatening surgery and situation, as you
guys know of. So his wife was right behind the
(39:04):
Dodger dugout at Angel Stadium for an exhibition game. I'm
sure Mike Levy and the fortunate La cameras well, we'll
have a IO on her throughout the first part of
this game tonight. So yeah, it's going to be emotionally
charged for him, and he's going to have to control that.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Speaking of emotionally charged, Dave, what are the concerns about
Roki Sasaki after his last outing.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
His teammates keep telling me that he was just overwhelmed
and nervous pitching at Dodger Stadium for the first time.
The Japanese media has a different take on things. They
believe that his resilience was never tested in Japan and
it's being tested right now, and everybody wants to see
how he's able to bounce back from that. I'll be
(39:52):
candid with you guys. The Japanese reporters that have followed
his career, they're aren't sure how this season is going
to go for Suzaki has to adjust to the new baseball,
the new pitching mound, a whole new environment. We saw
the learning curve for Yamamoto, who was a much more
accomplished and polished pitcher when he came to the Dodgers
last year. This guy really hasn't accomplished even a third
(40:15):
of what Yamamoto did in Japan. So he's a lot younger,
So we'll have to see how he bounces back from
what a lot of people believe was not a great
first two starts.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Not to be insensitive considering how emotional he got, Dave,
but I mean you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
What do you mean that's been very sensitive today?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Don't worry, you know, two starts, nine walks can't make
it out of the second inning. Like if it happens
a third time, do you think they start talking about
moving him somewhere and seeing if he can just kind
of fix some things before sending him back out there again.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Well, look, Kershaw's on the road back, but he's not
going to be back for another four weeks or so.
Landon Neck and Bobby Miller are waiting on standby on
the aircraft carrier, ready to go if if they need backup.
I don't see the Dodgers sending Roki Sazaki down. I
could see them technically doing some roster maneuvering that triggers
(41:14):
him being able to go to Camelback Ranch to work
on things. But I don't see him pitching at Oklahoma
City if they feel like he needs a breather.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
David Vasse have to ask you, Dave Without, I mean,
when will the without being weird? When will this team lose?
Chris Sales pretty good? Could it be to night?
Speaker 7 (41:34):
I think I do believe tonight's tonight the Dodgers lose
their first game, Yes, I do, And I feel like
smil Villa will pick up the piece of tomorrow to
win the series.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
What what happened all that positivity vat?
Speaker 2 (41:48):
I mean, of all the games, you gotta pick tonight,
the emotional return of Dustin May, all the positive vibes
you could have said.
Speaker 7 (41:55):
Not going for the braves tonight, and he.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Got lit up by the Padres the day he didn't.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
He gave up three runs in five innings.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
That's a lot, news.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Is that a lot?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
That's a lot?
Speaker 4 (42:06):
Does it feel like that's five in a game?
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Can't win every single game? Tonight is tonight. The Dodgers
are probably the most vulnerable without Freddy, with a guy
that hasn't pitched in the Big League since twenty twenty three,
A lot of emotion out there. I believe the Braves
get their first win of the year. They're not going winless.
And tomorrow night, on Getaway Day, the great Blake Snell
(42:30):
wins his second game as a Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
See there's the agenda. P He says, lost tonight, but
they'll be.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Shot your agenda in the last segment by being all
emotional and talking about how the team never gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
I mean, why would they?
Speaker 4 (42:45):
What we have here is.
Speaker 7 (42:48):
One thing I can guarantee is that there will be
no tears from Dustin May or Blake Snell the next
two nights.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
They are wired a little differently.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Dave wonderful work as always, And that was great. Freddie
sound yeah, Freddie Freeman, to the bottom of it, exactly
what happened.
Speaker 7 (43:04):
I was staring at that right ankle, and he finally
walked over. He knew I wanted to talk. I said, Hey,
let's do this, Freddy. Ron Washington would say, Frederick.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Fredericks, Yeah, there's a leak in the master Matt Ronald
and Frederick.
Speaker 7 (43:22):
I mean as a skinny fat guy. I've almost flipped
and fell in my tub slash shower with some soap
at the bottom of the tub right there, but I've
caught myself. I've never gone all the way down, but
down Goest Freeman on Sunday morning.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
I thought for sure that you'd be like a bath
bomb guy.
Speaker 7 (43:45):
I'm sure, I'm sure you are.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
Oh yeah, you know. I like to really relax and
be positive. Think about h name of that.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Store where you get the kids like that that that
they get the bath bomb slips. That store my kids
love so much. Tomorrow No, yeah, she does like that one.
But there's another one where they have a lot of kids. No,
there's a lot of toys. When when it sizzles away.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
There's nothing better than ay? Is there?
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Matt uh a plus?
Speaker 1 (44:14):
No better?
Speaker 2 (44:18):
I guess no?
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Nolush?
Speaker 7 (44:21):
Lush? Lush is the place to get all the bath body.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Oh yeah, I remember that place, Lush. Good call.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
Hey, I'm here for your baseball.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
And bath bomb. Thank you, Dave. Have a great guy, David.
Ladies and gentlemen, how do you got to We'll have
more petrols and money.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
I'll take the banana cream pod bath bumb Please.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
Colgon take me away.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
I do want to do it forever.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
I don't know if Colgon is as popular as you think.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
I've always wanted to do it. And then Vic's gonna
pop out from under the water and be like feeling you.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
We're never song of the Day coming up.
