over the weekend, the district today through Wednesday, and how are.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
They connected matter? Is there a way that they're connected?
In the history of our.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Country, Philly was at a pissed man when New City.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Congress bits Conal Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
When the new City of Washington was chosen to get
the President's executive man hey man weapon.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
So Durian, we're gonna have a terrible attitude for the
rest of our existence, exactly. U.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
During the seventeen nineties, the city of Philadelphia built its
own and they called it this. They called it the
Presidential Palace, and they had attempted to tempt g dubbed
George Washington to stay in Philadelphia and others that followed,
because Philly was the acting capital prior to DC being
fully operational. But Washington set the tone. He refused to
(05:18):
use the palace. He said he didn't like that it
was called a palace and what that signaled, and he
would stay elsewhere in the city of Philadelphia, shunning the
Presidential Palace, yet still staying in the city itself. It's
two blocks south of the National Constitution Center.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
We do have some of the letter, the beautifully written
letter from the Philadelphia Council to George Washington, and it says, hey,
we wrecked Philly.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
We're super pissed.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
All right, it's time for quick hits.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
TMS quick hits to make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah, Well, the big story is the Dodgers in DC
after losing a series in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Say it ain't so.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
David Vasse had to help Rogan and Rodney out with
their one hour, so we created some separation because he's
out there and it is the big story of the day.
Our Dodger Reporter Dodgers Curly Dubs Tonight on AMPI seventy
LA Sports, It's David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vassie Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Embedded with the Dodgers, the best of the best at
the real underscore DV. On your Southern California Toyota Dealer
Celebrity Hotline, it is David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
What's cracking, Dave? How are you out there?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I'm doing much better being on with you guys. Had
to answer a clown question from Clipper Adam, But yeah,
I'm doing great and the weather is supports to clear
up in time for first pick, phase two of the
day for the Dodgers. After going to the White House
and being celebrated, it was quite an experience for everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, I just expand on that, Dave. We saw your
sort of video, your photo diary of your trip inside
the ropes and inside the White House? What was the
experience like?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
That was for me the first time ever being behind
the metal wrought iron gates there, Mett and for me
that was a surreal experience, and I think for the
Dodgers a great experience. That weren't part of the team
that won in twenty twenty that got to go to
the White House in twenty one, and that was, from
what I was told, a lot different because we were
(07:40):
still coming out of the pandemic. I wasn't traveling with
the team in twenty one either the first half of
the season, and so that East Room where we saw
the Dodgers gather and be celebrated, was restricted. A lot
of people that were there today, the room was not
as full. Back then this was a room, the East Room,
(08:02):
it was still probably close to three hundred people. Politicians,
people that work in and around the White House were
all in that room to celebrate the Dodgers. And just
to get into the White House as a media member
was quite a process. It took me close to a
week to go through the process of being a proof
(08:23):
for a credential, and I never got approval up until
nine o'clock Eastern time last night. So once I got there,
I got to the gate, security guard check my name,
allowed me in, and from there you go into the
White House briefing room, which is a hot box. It
is so small the way it looks on TV, you
(08:46):
feel like it's a huge room.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It is not.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
They cram one hundred and fifty reporters in a very
small room, and I was talking to some reporters that
lived there every day. Basically they said during the summer,
it's like a hot box, so you can understand and
why things get a little heated in that room figuratively
and literally in that briefing room. From there, that's where
they transported us or escorted us to the East Room.
(09:12):
And when I walked in, you hear that band, that
classy White House band playing We Love La. And as
we're escorted into the East room itself, we were waiting
there for about thirty minutes before the Dodgers were brought
into We Love La by that same band. So a
really surreal experience for me to be credentialed and to
(09:36):
document the Dodgers being at the White House.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Was it the coolest thing you've ever done, Dave with
the team? I mean, you've had a lot of experiences.
You're in the sumo video in Japan, but of all
the things you've done, was this the craziest.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It is, Petros. I mean, come on, a kid from
the San Fernando Valley, I have no business being there,
and to be I'd never, in my wildest dreams ever
believe that I would be covering the Dodgers winning the
World Series number one and being with them to cover
them at the White House. That that's something that you
only saw Oral Hersheys there and Kirk Gibson and Steve
(10:14):
Sachs do and it seems so far away, and there
I was, even though I was not behind, I was
behind the ropes, not inside the ropes. It was still
great to document a day like today.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It was fun to go through and for people that
haven't check it out on his Instagram feed through the
Dodger stuff, it's pretty awesome to, uh, to see how
that whole thing went down. What about what happened over
the course of the weekend. They just to get to
the baseball kind of what what is your takeaway of
the Tyler Glass now outing was that mental you know
(10:47):
mental sort of just had issues, couldn't get over it.
Were there serious issues with the mound? Like what a
bad day for pictures yesterday? Snell on the IL and
Glassnell couldn't get out of the third.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I mean, yeah, it wasn't a good day in the
pitching department for the Dos, specifically glass Now, who loaded
the bases with walks because of the rain, and Dave
Roberts said as much after the game. Even glass Now
admitted that he got in his head and you know,
the ball was slipping out of his hand, and he
let it get to him too much. And that's something
(11:16):
that needs to be rectified between now and if he's
healthy for the postseason, because those are going to be
the conditions possibly when you're on the East Coast playing
in October. It's just something that a lot of people
in Philadelphia in that press box that have seen a
lot of weather and seen a lot of pitchers pitched
through a lot harder rain, couldn't believe they were witnessing
(11:40):
a pitcher allowing the rain affect him as much as
it affected glass Now.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Was that the biggest warp dave that was revealed on
the Dodgers' pristine feet over the weekend. Was it glass
Now not being able to deal with that or was
it something else?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
To me?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Petros, you know, the defense comes and goes the Dodgers
will figure that out between now and the end of
the season. The base running will be corrected between now
and the end of the season. To me, Glass now
melting down in that third inning in the rain was
the biggest wart. You could have the greatest numbers on
the stat sheet, on the data sheet, and infect I
(12:19):
mean this is something going back to spring training, the
Dodgers were trying to stress to Glass Now, even when
things are not perfect, you still got to find a
way to pitch through it. His first test was yesterday
and he failed. He failed that test, and hopefully moving
forward he'll learn from it and be better the next
time he's faced with any sort of adversity that isn't
(12:41):
the perfect feel of his mechanics or the conditions aren't perfect.
He just needs to figure that out. And what else
is he going to say? He owned up to the
fact that he let it get into his head, but
how is he going to correct it? Only time would tell.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Last thing for me, just with Snell, you know, going
on the il, do we know what approach they'll take
and replace it? In bullpen games? Someone gonna get called up?
Do we know who is all that stuff been sorted out?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Yet well, Matt Sour, who was a minor league invite,
is going to be part of a bullpen game either
tomorrow or Wednesday. Before the Snell news, the Dodgers were
planning on an opener on Wednesday, a spots starter on
Wednesday to give everybody an extra day off, specifically Yamamoto
and Sazaki. But now with Snell going on the il,
(13:32):
they need a starter for tomorrow. And here's the great
thing about the Dodgers. They're not just deep twenty six
man roster wise, they're deep forty man roster and in
their Oklahoma City rotation, all five of those guys could
be pitching right now for the Washington Nationals. So big
picture macro regular season marathon, the Dodgers will be fine
(13:53):
with any alternative of Landon Nag, Justin Robleski, Bobby Miller,
the list goes on and on, so they'll be to
cover the next couple of starts.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
All right, Dave, are the Curly Dubs still pretty bad?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
They're still in the rebuilding face Petros. They're a young team.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, Well, how fun at the old Ebbittts grill.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
David Vass striding around Washington, DC like Aaron Burr.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Have a good one, Dave, and be safe.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Wonderful stuff from David Vase. The Baseball World Commissioner Rob
Manfred did an interview with The New York Times. He
was asked about the torpedo bat. He said, they're absolutely
good for baseball. I believe that issues like the torpedo
bat and the debate around it, demonstrates the fact that
baseball still occupies a unique place in our culture because
(14:43):
people get into a complete frenzy over something that's really nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
At the end of the.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Day, I don't know if I would call it a frenzy, Rob.
People were just like, man, that looks weird and that
dude hit a bunch of home runs.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Well, Matt, you know, I mean that's he's talking to
New York Times, and out there in New York City
is a frenzy.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
There's a war on the streets.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
How is Jazz Chisholm hitting so many dongars? Man, it
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Boomed the sweet spot and made it wide like a
sting ray.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
This is nothing but cheating, and it besmirches the legacy
of Roger Marris.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Portnoy went into a frenzy. But probably yeah, he did,
but probably a calculated one to get Manfred to react
in that way and whistle through.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
His tooth gap.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
He does do that.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
The Lakers had a big win yesterday. They're forty eight
and thirty. They have the third spot in the Western Conference.
Lebron James laid on the ground and pounded his fist
like a baby, and nobody cared. Everybody just walked around
his carcass, moved the drill. They play at Oklahoma City
again tomorrow over the body. I never thought they'd move
the drill on Lebron.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
They beat the.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Thunder the impact of Luca. It's wonderful, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Twenty seven yesterday? It is that it was there maybe
the most telling thing I've seen thus far.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The Clippers, Matt. They're hot two and you discussed in
last hour one four in a row. They have the
five spot. They jump from seven to five over the weekend.
They are home tomorrow against the Spurs. That's a seven
to thirty tip. They have four left and as we mentioned,
five teams spots four through eight, all tied with thirty
(16:20):
two losses. So their final four game is going to
be seriously impactful on playoff seating between now and Sunday.
Kawhi Leonard named Western Conference Player of the Week. Moreno
Valley celebrates no set tripping today led the Clippers to
a perfect four and zero record behind averages of twenty
four and a half points, five point eight rebounds, one
(16:42):
point seven to five steals.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
There is no coincidence that fully function employee Adam was
booked today for Rogan and Rodney to celebrate Kathai, one.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Of the worst nicknames ever bestowed upon somebody, Kathai. We
don't really talk about talking about thighs. Were talking about quads. Yeah,
look at look at the thighs at Yeah, that guy's thighs.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
A woman or a horse? Yeah, I had a girl.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Houston and Florida and the National Championship game tonight should
be exciting and sant in tone. The Gators are one
and a half point favorites. City of Syrup is alive
with Syrup.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And the city of Gainesville is alive with Painesville.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
White white claw. Yes, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Throw a tantrum that there's only an hour and a
half of the show gonna be the same way tomorrow,
And then a late Show on Wednesday. That's the way
it is. Some things will never check. I'm not not
h our job is over for today, but Tim Kates

the season, and so that East Room where we saw
the Dodgers gather and be celebrated, was restricted. A lot
of people that were there today, the room was not
as full. Back then this was a room, the East Room,
(08:02):
it was still probably close to three hundred people. Politicians,
people that work in and around the White House were
all in that room to celebrate the Dodgers. And just
to get into the White House as a media member
was quite a process. It took me close to a
week to go through the process of being a proof
(08:23):
for a credential, and I never got approval up until
nine o'clock Eastern time last night. So once I got there,
I got to the gate, security guard check my name,
allowed me in, and from there you go into the
White House briefing room, which is a hot box. It
is so small the way it looks on TV, you
(08:46):
feel like it's a huge room.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It is not.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
They cram one hundred and fifty reporters in a very
small room, and I was talking to some reporters that
lived there every day. Basically they said during the summer,
it's like a hot box, so you can understand and
why things get a little heated in that room figuratively
and literally in that briefing room. From there, that's where
they transported us or escorted us to the East Room.
(09:12):
And when I walked in, you hear that band, that
classy White House band playing We Love La. And as
we're escorted into the East room itself, we were waiting
there for about thirty minutes before the Dodgers were brought
into We Love La by that same band. So a
really surreal experience for me to be credentialed and to
(09:36):
document the Dodgers being at the White House.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Was it the coolest thing you've ever done, Dave with
the team? I mean, you've had a lot of experiences.
You're in the sumo video in Japan, but of all
the things you've done, was this the craziest.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It is, Petros. I mean, come on, a kid from
the San Fernando Valley, I have no business being there,
and to be I'd never, in my wildest dreams ever
believe that I would be covering the Dodgers winning the
World Series number one and being with them to cover
them at the White House. That that's something that you
only saw Oral Hersheys there and Kirk Gibson and Steve
(10:14):
Sachs do and it seems so far away, and there
I was, even though I was not behind, I was
behind the ropes, not inside the ropes. It was still
great to document a day like today.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It was fun to go through and for people that
haven't check it out on his Instagram feed through the
Dodger stuff, it's pretty awesome to, uh, to see how
that whole thing went down. What about what happened over
the course of the weekend. They just to get to
the baseball kind of what what is your takeaway of
the Tyler Glass now outing was that mental you know
(10:47):
mental sort of just had issues, couldn't get over it.
Were there serious issues with the mound? Like what a
bad day for pictures yesterday? Snell on the IL and
Glassnell couldn't get out of the third.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I mean, yeah, it wasn't a good day in the
pitching department for the Dos, specifically glass Now, who loaded
the bases with walks because of the rain, and Dave
Roberts said as much after the game. Even glass Now
admitted that he got in his head and you know,
the ball was slipping out of his hand, and he
let it get to him too much. And that's something
(11:16):
that needs to be rectified between now and if he's
healthy for the postseason, because those are going to be
the conditions possibly when you're on the East Coast playing
in October. It's just something that a lot of people
in Philadelphia in that press box that have seen a
lot of weather and seen a lot of pitchers pitched
through a lot harder rain, couldn't believe they were witnessing
(11:40):
a pitcher allowing the rain affect him as much as
it affected glass Now.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Was that the biggest warp dave that was revealed on
the Dodgers' pristine feet over the weekend. Was it glass
Now not being able to deal with that or was
it something else?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
To me?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Petros, you know, the defense comes and goes the Dodgers
will figure that out between now and the end of
the season. The base running will be corrected between now
and the end of the season. To me, Glass now
melting down in that third inning in the rain was
the biggest wart. You could have the greatest numbers on
the stat sheet, on the data sheet, and infect I
(12:19):
mean this is something going back to spring training, the
Dodgers were trying to stress to Glass Now, even when
things are not perfect, you still got to find a
way to pitch through it. His first test was yesterday
and he failed. He failed that test, and hopefully moving
forward he'll learn from it and be better the next
time he's faced with any sort of adversity that isn't
(12:41):
the perfect feel of his mechanics or the conditions aren't perfect.
He just needs to figure that out. And what else
is he going to say? He owned up to the
fact that he let it get into his head, but
how is he going to correct it? Only time would tell.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Last thing for me, just with Snell, you know, going
on the il, do we know what approach they'll take
and replace it? In bullpen games? Someone gonna get called up?
Do we know who is all that stuff been sorted out?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Yet well, Matt Sour, who was a minor league invite,
is going to be part of a bullpen game either
tomorrow or Wednesday. Before the Snell news, the Dodgers were
planning on an opener on Wednesday, a spots starter on
Wednesday to give everybody an extra day off, specifically Yamamoto
and Sazaki. But now with Snell going on the il,
(13:32):
they need a starter for tomorrow. And here's the great
thing about the Dodgers. They're not just deep twenty six
man roster wise, they're deep forty man roster and in
their Oklahoma City rotation, all five of those guys could
be pitching right now for the Washington Nationals. So big
picture macro regular season marathon, the Dodgers will be fine
(13:53):
with any alternative of Landon Nag, Justin Robleski, Bobby Miller,
the list goes on and on, so they'll be to
cover the next couple of starts.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
All right, Dave, are the Curly Dubs still pretty bad?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
They're still in the rebuilding face Petros. They're a young team.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, Well, how fun at the old Ebbittts grill.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
David Vass striding around Washington, DC like Aaron Burr.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Have a good one, Dave, and be safe.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Wonderful stuff from David Vase. The Baseball World Commissioner Rob
Manfred did an interview with The New York Times. He
was asked about the torpedo bat. He said, they're absolutely
good for baseball. I believe that issues like the torpedo
bat and the debate around it, demonstrates the fact that
baseball still occupies a unique place in our culture because
(14:43):
people get into a complete frenzy over something that's really nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
At the end of the.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Day, I don't know if I would call it a frenzy, Rob.
People were just like, man, that looks weird and that
dude hit a bunch of home runs.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Well, Matt, you know, I mean that's he's talking to
New York Times, and out there in New York City
is a frenzy.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
There's a war on the streets.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
How is Jazz Chisholm hitting so many dongars? Man, it
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Boomed the sweet spot and made it wide like a
sting ray.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
This is nothing but cheating, and it besmirches the legacy
of Roger Marris.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Portnoy went into a frenzy. But probably yeah, he did,
but probably a calculated one to get Manfred to react
in that way and whistle through.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
His tooth gap.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
He does do that.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
The Lakers had a big win yesterday. They're forty eight
and thirty. They have the third spot in the Western Conference.
Lebron James laid on the ground and pounded his fist
like a baby, and nobody cared. Everybody just walked around
his carcass, moved the drill. They play at Oklahoma City
again tomorrow over the body. I never thought they'd move
the drill on Lebron.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
They beat the.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Thunder the impact of Luca. It's wonderful, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Twenty seven yesterday? It is that it was there maybe
the most telling thing I've seen thus far.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The Clippers, Matt. They're hot two and you discussed in
last hour one four in a row. They have the
five spot. They jump from seven to five over the weekend.
They are home tomorrow against the Spurs. That's a seven
to thirty tip. They have four left and as we mentioned,
five teams spots four through eight, all tied with thirty
(16:20):
two losses. So their final four game is going to
be seriously impactful on playoff seating between now and Sunday.
Kawhi Leonard named Western Conference Player of the Week. Moreno
Valley celebrates no set tripping today led the Clippers to
a perfect four and zero record behind averages of twenty
four and a half points, five point eight rebounds, one
(16:42):
point seven to five steals.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
There is no coincidence that fully function employee Adam was
booked today for Rogan and Rodney to celebrate Kathai, one.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Of the worst nicknames ever bestowed upon somebody, Kathai. We
don't really talk about talking about thighs. Were talking about quads. Yeah,
look at look at the thighs at Yeah, that guy's thighs.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
A woman or a horse? Yeah, I had a girl.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Houston and Florida and the National Championship game tonight should
be exciting and sant in tone. The Gators are one
and a half point favorites. City of Syrup is alive
with Syrup.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And the city of Gainesville is alive with Painesville.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
White white claw. Yes, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Throw a tantrum that there's only an hour and a
half of the show gonna be the same way tomorrow,
And then a late Show on Wednesday. That's the way
it is. Some things will never check. I'm not not
h our job is over for today, but Tim Kates
(17:58):
is just beginning.
