Petro Some Money production is live in Blue Heaven Dodgers Stadium.
Rubber game between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. Opportunity to
snap that four game losing streak was available last night
in extras and the man were looking at a third base.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Max months he was there.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
He's right the hero, Matt sackfly, Why don't you say
what you Why don't you guys say what you said
off the air about it?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
F e That's what Kate said, and then Matt said
no fo eight Gate said, fa, you had an argument about.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Scoring, an argument it was I was curious very now
what she wrote very It was two scorekeepers. Respect was
had between the pair.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I think I haven't seen victoron like that since Chris
Roberts versus Craig Robin.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Hey, buddy, you're fired. Uh no, Berkeley for you. I'm
gonna find it. You didn't you said his name?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You weren't supposed to see.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh say all that name?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You know what, Craig.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Craig has told us a million stories that he doesn't
think you're going to make the air, and they always
make the air. And every time we do a show
with him, he tells us another story and we share
the story on the air, and he puts his head
in his hands and he goes.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh, no, you affed up again, Craig. You trusted us,
You pour poors, and you know I don't like it, Matt.
Max Munsey, my son's favorite player, was the hero last night,
and Matt Mundy Smith and Tim Kats are over here
critiquing him like a couple of guys with binoculars. Watch him,
(02:35):
chicks at the beach. I don't like his thighs.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
He's air mail in balls, so that he has been
a circus in the critiquing him.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
He might be working on a different elbows.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
On the wrong side of the bag on the double playball.
I mean, come on, what are.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You a baseball coach.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You're out here critiquing Max Munsey, who was a hero
last night and arguing about how to score his fly
ball from the stand.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Worry, guys, don't worry. If Max throws one aeron here.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And he had a glove, I brought my glove to stop.
There's no way he's gonna throw it up here. Yes, really,
I mean he might have missed first I get it.
He might have missed first base by a little bit.
And you know, Max Munsey's the guy who had that
foul ball rob from him by a certain uh sports
talk radio personality type f A f A F F
(03:25):
O eight.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Matt, it's F eight.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I was trained poorly when I was in seventh grade
and everybody what.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Happened, Matt, tell everybody what happened, what you did wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I just I was taught that it was G O
and then the position number ground, you know, ground out
six for the short and then I would give score
like cloud right, flyout eight f O eight is what
I would do if it was a flyout. And Kate
was like f she and then I was like l
O nne o.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He's like L. I was like, oh, well, I guess
I was taught poor I was taught poorly.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It's okay, So does the like if you just write
an L and then the name the number, you.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Don't need to write the oh, because it's already assumed.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Let's test here. How about a little F nine huh?
Or that ball go F nine eight?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, it either goes this way or that it's either
the right field or the left fielder right field?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
All right, hey, all right, brother, that's a five three.
Actually that's a little trick. Question. That's a trick trying
to make a fool of you.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, it's easy in football, the right. Yeah. But I'm
just saying it's a little confusing because in football, the
right side is even right, so like the two the
two hole or the you know, if you learn that way,
the right side is even and the left way is
the left side is odd. Now it's a little different.
They'll just say right side a gap, left side bet gap,
(04:50):
you know, and go from there. But when I hear
a nine, I automatically think left side.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You'd be wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I understandable, which is why I didn't say anything. Yeah,
here's why my FO was so stupid. Why Matt, Well,
because you can go f C for fielder's choice. You
can go for FF for flyout foul balls, like I
didn't know that one. Yeah, FF for flyout foul ball.
So f O would be like, what the hell's that?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Scorch all the world? You not and take hold.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Five three ground?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now what is it? Leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know the trick question, and the three would
be over here on the right side because you idiots
have it wrong. Yes, that's correct, Okay, so the three
is going to be where the first basement beautiful?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And whar's the five? This is the trick question.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I don't know what's a trick question. It's one spot.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Short style or the second base guy short style? All
their names. I know he's not going to make that
play up and watching it.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Up glow stop and goes to third base and then
the shortstop is the six.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I guess what do you mean? You guess? Am
I wrong on that? Oh? No? I thought you're going
to third base? Six is the shortstop?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Why what are you stelling me?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Four?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Three would be you know, ground out to third to four?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And I said, that's the trick question.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
When you say five, he's thinking it's three four five
to shortstop.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
When I got a.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Text from somebody smarter than all of you guys, they said,
it says all you need to know is E five.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
That means air five.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Scorekeepers, off the work, unite and take all the.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You know, we were supposed to come back a week
from Friday for the Yankee series, but I believe that
is now off the table.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Why just Tim Kates is being a jerk.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Why don't you guys do a like both come here
and like take up this area around with our scorecards
and just go double score cards and then like.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No phones, you can't reference anything.
Speaker 1 (06:54):

Matt More News eight FO eight more News from the
Nantucket social scene, Matt Nantucket. Huh, you know what it's
about I and stop trying to avoid it. This is
a huge story. This is from last Christmas. It is
a sports story.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart the very next day.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
This year, you know, I don't. I don't love the
resolution of that song, like.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
To save me from tears, I'll.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Give it to someone better. It's like, how do you
know you already made an any decision last year?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Dumb ass?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Now this year, somehow you know what's better? Shut your face?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, F eight eight they will.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
We got meat balls.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Martin News from the Nantucket social scene, Matt last Christmas,
when Belichick's ex, Linda Holiday right reportedly confronted Jordan Hudson,
Bill's young ex girlfriend at a charity event right over
Christmas twenty twenty four, lots of charity in Nantucket, Matt
(09:40):
Rich people, no doubt it was at the Dreamland Theater.
Maybe some of you New England types are familiar in Nantucket,
which I believe is an island big final weekend of
the year, which is called stroll Weekend in Nantucket, a
real Nantucket mean girl Holiday, Belichick's x her twins the
(10:06):
Hess Twins.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Not Belichick kids. This is Linda's kidds.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
The Hess Twins Okay Cat and Ash. Cat and Ash
are dj the Cat's Ass. Apparently they are great DJs
for Nantucket. They smell like the cat's ass. Jordan Hudson.
Now there's two dueling PR Firm stories. Matt One says
Jordan Hudson showed up, was acting weird, stalked around the party.
(10:36):
Several people who are friends with mean girl Miss.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Holliday, Is she really being a mean girl, asked her
to leave, said why are you here? It's not appropriate
right the Hess Twins on the ones and twos. And
then another report says that Hudson was there with Miss Massachusetts,
who was threatened by Holiday and left crying because she says,
(11:00):
you should you're with the wrong friends. You shouldn't be
with somebody like this. I know the pageant world, and
I can hurt you because you're with a bad person. Holiday,
super mean girl confronting Miss Massachusetts and acting the fool,
trying to get Hudson to leave when the party was
going to end anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I shures them decorum, Huh, you're better than this Lindau
pull look of hert what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You're better than doing you? It's me you should ream Mat,
I'd take it on me.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So this is going down Matt in Nantucket, where Bill
Belichick is deeply rooted, and so is his acts and
the twenty four year old Jordan Hudson, the most ambitious
young hooker allegedly in.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
All of the world. You said they're engaged.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well, it wouldn't be the first time you said, hey,
we're engaged. She told a friend that I saw that report.
When did he propose?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
This morning that report broke, someone said she told a friend,
we're engaged to be married.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That must have been when he had the slicker on
and the fishing pole. There must have been a ring
in his in his pocket.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Like what I pulled out of Nantucket. Bee.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I got down on my knee, but I bought my
bark so stair for sure couldn't get there right. So
big news Matt in the Nantucket social scene. We should
do a show from there Nantucket. Well, I summer in
Nantucket because I make work a priority.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I don't know about you. I summer nothing better than ay?
Is there something better than they? I summer in Nantucket? Why?
Because I make work a priority? Will this be considered harassment? Okay?
Not doing Google Gaga? Second down and nine. Here's my
number number of the day, twenty two and ten.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You're not gonna beat that scintillating social story Christmas party
last year in Nantucket, multiple dueling reports.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
All I got is billionaire NFL franchise owners voting, Oh
it's on?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Twenty two to ten? Is your number of the day.
A lot of people have.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Pointed it out on social media. This would, in fact,
I believe, qualify as legitimate irony. As the Philadelphia Eagles
vanquished the Packers from the postseason in the wild card round,
knocking them off by a score of twenty two to ten,
the Packers proposal to ban the tush push required twenty
(13:36):
four votes three quarters in order to pass. They came
up two votes short, twenty two to ten.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
The tush push.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Stays, The brotherly shove stays. How did it break down?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Pee? How did the votes break down? Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Every single AFC West team happens to play the Eagles
this year, the Chargers, the Chiefs, the Broncos, the Raiders,
they all voted for the band.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Ah, that's so bad.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Obviously, every NFC team basically voted for the band except
for the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
They want to keep the play going.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And kudos to the Lions and the Saints who voted
down the band and they needed him.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's a regular legal football play. It's yeah. I heard.
I don't know what I was watching this morning. I
can't remember who it was.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
It was some rules guy that was on and he said,
I guess I can understand the idea of we used
to have the rule where you could not have.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Push any push, right. That's why they called it the
bush push, because it was illegal. But I got to
be honest, having played in those days too, they never
called it, right, like unless you literally grabbed a guy
and pile drived him or suplexed him into the end zone.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Seriously, you wouldn't. You could to push a guy and
it was get the flag.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I mean, it happened to me a few times I'd
been pushed into the end zone by a f offensive lineman,
but they never called it. And then they just because
of that whatever, they just they made it legal, and
I just to me, I think Lourie's right without having
to make an inappropriate comment in front of women.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Did you hear what Lourie said? Oh yeah, Lourie was
a little lurid with those comments.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think he's right. We are so good at a
play that you guys want to ban it. And this
is a great league with the greatest decordinators in the world.
They catch up to every NFL offensive trend. It usually
takes less than a half a season for defensive coordinators to.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Catch up Allah the Wildcat. And I think Eagles are
really good.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
They got a giant offensive line with a strong at
hell lower half quarterback.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Let's be honest, is Hurts a serviceable passer compared to
I don't know seventy percent of the quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No, not without what he does. He can run that
toush push though not.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Without what he does in that regard and the way
they've made the running back the belcow running back. Like
we all grew up in the eighties with our Walter
Payton's and our Barry Sanders and our Akoyes and so
on and so forth. Eric Dickerson, our friend, they made
that a thing again, and a quarterback who's strong, who
(16:22):
can make some throws. But all of it is based
on the fear of the run game. And they just
won a Super Bowl. If you try to change the
rules with your five and seven step and three step drops,
let's play football. Play football, get in the gaps and
stop it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
The good news is it was voted down, and congrats
to the AFC East. As far as the AFC divisions go,
the Jets, Pats, and Dolphins all voted no ban. The Bills,
the only team to run the tush push more than
the Eagles this last season, voted to Bannett. Okay, so
then we'll figure that one out. No Mars here, So
let's get our song of the day, get the break
(16:58):
and get back here.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, this is a song. I guess I'm sorry. Thank you, Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We'll be right back with no mar Garciapara. Baseball legend
Dodger broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Beck live at Dodger Stadium, getting ready for the rubber
game between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. First pitch just
after seven. We'll have Dodgers on deck at six. We've
(17:35):
been here at Dodger Stadium all day. Be watching the
Dodgers warm up, little fielding action out there, Max Muntsey
do his thing, Mookie Betts, I saw Kim say all
their names.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But joining us right now, you know who could do
it out there on the dirt.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
A man's whose name shall never be forgotten. Six time
All Star, Al Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger, come
Back Player of the Year, and six we all remember
that Matt two time Al batting champ, Red Sox Hall
of Famer, Dodger legend. Before Jason Negro and the Silesians
(18:14):
became a football powerhouse, No Mark Garcia par up with
Saint John Bosco on the map the end of the
one oh five, and now he chops it up and
gives the people great analysis nightly almost on Spectrum Sports
net LA.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
At least he's here this week and we're all better
for it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
The Great Nomar Garcia par is joining us on the
Craig Robbins Southern California Toyota Dealer Wireless Mike right here
on the Petrosen Money Show live from Dodger Stadium on
our Zenschi Sushi, Sweet night.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
What's cracking? Nomar? How are you man? You guys always
know how to make somebody feel welcome. But I also
have to apologize to you guys.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Why well, because you guys will you get Brad the
bartender and then you got big game and now you
have to have step back.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And I'm apposed to go up forward, not backwards. There
it's like a holy trinity. I mean, those guys are unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
The Holy Spirit because he brings us the spirit, and
then James Worthy's the Father.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
But you're like Jesus the Son was there at one
oh five when you went to uh Bosco. It's that part.
It was being built.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's how you got the benefit of Gayle goodwick Rich
told us he played for the for the Lakers before
there was a four o five exactly right.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
So that's how old and boy, I no, I didn't
put that school on the map. I'll tell you what
they're doing over there now, what Jason's doing. It's it's
fun to watch, no doubt. And the baseball team's doing great.
Andy rode about there. He's been doing an outstanding job
over there. So that's all good to see.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You know. It's interesting you had so many years of
experience of seeing you know, the hope and dreams of
Opening Day and then what it is like a month
later and all this and you deal with the hopes
and dreams of the Dodger fans and their disappointments on
a nightly basis. But it is pretty wild to think
about the team that the Dodgers had built going into
(20:12):
this season and what we were all talking about and
what they're looking at right now. It feels like it's
such a daunting thing. But this is something that baseball
types deal with every year.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It's hard.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Yeah, that's what makes this this game, the beauty of
this game, and what makes it so challenging. I mean
it is you think about one hundred and sixty two games,
it's a long season and one hundred and eighty five days,
and you're trying to figure out It's how are you
going to get through this marathon?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's not a sprint.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
And the Dodgers in this organization understand that and they're
you know, people are asking why why do they have
all these guys?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Why are they spend all this money?
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Because they know that's what's needed in order to get
through a season and to be where they want to be,
and that's winning a World Series year after year.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So this is what you have now, is ideal? Is
it perfect? Does it go as you script it?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
No?
Speaker 7 (21:04):
And they understand that too, But you have to make adjustments.
You have people in the position that they're in and
they're still look at where they are and they're still
at the top right there. They're still getting it done.
And that's what makes them special in this organization.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Special most people. And understandably, they'll focus on the pitching.
They'll focus on the you know, last night, Yamamoto's dealing
and he can't get any run support and he ends
up getting no decision. He's deserved a lot better than that.
But the one thing maybe they don't talk about a
lot is the defense and the fielding and just kind
of what you've noticed and what maybe can be cleaned up,
(21:37):
if it can be cleaner.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Just what's going on this year in the in the field?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Well, you know what, I don't you know, the defense
hasn't been that bad. Defense, like hitting and like pitching
actually goes up and down. I mean you're gonna I mean,
I know, as a as an infield there there were
times I'm like, man, I'm gonna infield slump right now.
I am just not seeing the ball off the bat.
Right now, I'm not getting a first step. I don't
feel comfortable out here. And then you work at it,
work at it, and then all of a sudden you're like, man,
you feel like you can get everything.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Everybody's gonna go through that.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
So as far as fielding concerned, these guys, you know,
they take pride in it, and you can see, you know,
as you.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Hear out here watching them.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
They're out there every single day getting better and it's
not as bad. It's just you know, here and there,
you might have one guy, you know, maybe struggling, and
then maybe that week and all of everybody's like, oh,
it's all the defense. So like, wait a minute, it
was just one guy, wasn't the rest of the defense.
And then we overlook we overlooked the play where the
Robin home runs and you forget about that, Well, that
was defense.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, that was unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
When they go on the gap, or they're throwing the
guy out on the bases who are trying to get
that extra base, or the guy stealing the base, all
that defense. So they have not been bad from a
defense perspective. I think right now they're struggles right now,
and they know that has really just been the staff.
I mean, they're scoring runs, they're putting runs up. I
mean you look at prior to yesterday's game when they
won and came back and won. You know, they lose
(22:49):
four games, but they had scored four five ruins in
one game, nine another four and another. They're putting them
up the runs and you know, an uncharacteristic The staff
is struggling, but they go through a rut as well,
just like the hitting when we're all going.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Man, nobody can hit on this team.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They're in the slump. They went through that earlier as well.
So there's the ebbs and flows of a season.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
It goes up and down, and as a player, as
an organization, you have to do your best to stay
even keel. Now, fans go up and down. They write
it and and you know what, that's the beauty of it.
That's what makes Dodger fans so great. That's what we
appreciate as players that they are feeling the emotion every
single day because we feel it. We feel it, but
(23:30):
we have to turn the page as quickly as possible,
and we also have to kind of lie to ourselves
and try to stay as even as possible, because writing
it up and down, as much as we feel it
and endure it, we can't last the entire season.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I mean we will be just done come August. So
another one to date myself here. Last night, when Yamamoto
hit a hunter pitches, you would have thought he was
being awarded the cy Young He's an hundred pitches like
it was being celebrated. I mean, you remember, was what
has happened?
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
How did that?
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That? Were you just teeing off on guys the third
time you'd get through the order? Is that something that?
Are these guys just throwing harder from any one?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Like? What has happened where that's kind of become a
number that's a little little weird.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, I don't you know.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
From my understanding is I don't know if there was
a doctor that was talking about it and was doing
some research and didn't say that, oh, thee hundred pitch mark,
but he was kind of just talking about those as
far as injuries seemed to happen, or maybe you know
from the research and data that he was gathering. You know,
once you know past that hundred pitches and then everybody's
(24:38):
like Oh, that's the reason. So I think that's what's
come in. It's like the fear of guys getting hurt,
and so the hundred pitch mark became the benchmark.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It seems like they get hurt anyway.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
And that's a great point, right, So it's obviously that's
not working and that's not the case. So that's they
have to now throw that out the window. So it's
not one hundred pitches. And now I think a lot
of guys are getting hurt because they're chase everybody chasing,
they're chasing data, they're chasing spin rate, they're chasing velocity.
Nobody's worried about throwing strikes anymore. They're all chasing a number.
(25:12):
And they're redlining even in their practice. And when you redline,
it's like imagine a sprinter one hundred dollard dat one
hundred meter sprinter going out and every time they train,
they sprint. Every time, even in practice, it's a sprint.
Well that's what these pitchers are doing now.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Not good.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
So and we even here, guys, and listen, this isn't
dodge or this is all around around baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
This isn't just the dodge.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
This is everywhere in baseball, and you have these people
who are just saying, we're just following the data, following data,
looking at the measurement. Now you have the players looking
at the same thing because that's what they think the
way they're going to get rewarded.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's not just pitching.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
It's also happening from an offensive standpoint, I mean, and
it's trickling down to the youth. More injuries down to
the youth because they're starting to chase numbers. There's more
kids from a position player who have pars fractures messing
their backup because they're swinging and trying to increase their
you know way whatever their bair exit velo and their
bat speed ale, how about scroaring it up, hit'll line dry. Yeah,
(26:06):
but you know contact, your contact rate is way better,
is more important than any of that. And so all
of that, and I think hopefully it's starting to change
and realize that, yeah, that's what's needed. But I think
this is where the injuries are coming. Nobody is training now.
I mean, we even here, guys get interviewed throughout Major
League Baseball. What are you told uh to go as
hard as I can for as long as I can
really go as hard as you can for as long
(26:28):
as you can. I mean, it's you're supposed to be
able to think. Okay, I'm trying to finish off the game.
I'm supposed to go nine innings, so I got to
pace myself. And how what's the chess match on? How
I pitch that guy for two at bats? And how
am I going to get him out that.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Third at bat? That's the beauty of it. That's rus.
That was fun and me as a hitter going, Man,
is he still in there the third time? Okay? Man?
What do I got to do to change?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Because he's made me look foolish the last two times?
Is he going to make me look fullish a third time?
Sometimes they do. Sometimes you're like, man, I got one out?
What But that's part of the game. But you don't
experience that anymore. It's just bringing the other guy as
hard as he can and then go from there.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Hopefully we'll see some leveling out.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Like you said, always a great perspective from Nomar Garcia Pari.
You'll see him tonight on Spectrum Sports in at La.
He's got most genes. You won't won't see those beautiful
lost jeans and he's got a nice gray blazer.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Those are some fancy sneakers. He looks great fancy sneakers.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Now, you've been in a lot of clubhouses, of course,
and you've seen the comings and goings and people's careers
beginning and ending. You know, Barnes and Chris Taylor are
here a long time, and they were brought in by Friedman.
They were Friedman's guys, I believe, and it had to
be hard for him to let him go. Does it
(27:39):
set a different tone in the clubhouse that two mainstays
like that have been jettisoned or are these guys just
really used to that type of stuff?
Speaker 7 (27:47):
Listen. I mean, those guys have meant so much to
the dog Dodger organization and will always mean so much
of the Dodger organization.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
They're champions.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
And when you look at the World Series that the
last two World Series at the Dodgers have won, they
have been a big part of it and will always
be a big part of it. So make no mistake.
And that's the beauty of this organization and the beauty
of the fans. They remember players that have always made
a major impact in this organization, and and and those
guys are no different, and yes we are all sad
and that they are gone and butt at the same time.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
This just kind of happens, right, no matter what.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
If you're going to continue to progress, evolve and everything,
you have young guys coming up pushing as they're supposed to.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
That's what makes it, once again so hard. Everybody's like, oh,
once you get there, like no, it's hard to stay here.
And there's another reason why not many people. When you
look at the average players, you know, career maybe about
four or five years, you know, if you're fortunate enough, right,
and those guys have already had.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Long careers, which is great.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
But the reason why it's so short is because you
also have young guys pushing you, and they're coming up
and saying, listen, I want to be there, I want
to get a crack at that, I want to live
my dream out.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So that's all part of it.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Yes, it's sad, they're going to be missed, but they'll
always be remembered and we wish them luck. I mean, listen,
they can continue playing and hopefully they're there wherever whoever
gets them. They're going to make that organization better.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
You mentioned the young guys, and you know that's it's
it's a two. Like David Vasse would say to us,
it's like, remember, it's not just them getting called up,
but it's using them to find a piece at the
trade deadline. There's two different ways to use young players.
But it feels like we've got a little bit of
an influx here. You know, Pa has just playing really well.
You're talking about defensive gems and some of the things
that he's been doing out there.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You know, the highs there and obviously with the home runs.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
What have you seen from the young guys, and you're
just kind of initial impressions of I know Piez was
her last year, but Kim and Rushing and just kind
of what your your first impressions are since they've been
here at the major league level.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Well, I'll tell you from from a Kim Kim's perspective.
I really like what he brings. I love, uh, you know,
the dynamic, you know, the speed that he brings to
this game, him making contact. I really also give him
a lot of credit when you saw him in spring
training and him coming in major leagues and making and
he had to make an adjustment recognizing that like, man
(30:02):
might be a little overmatch, just a little different over
here as far as what you're seeing. And we saw
that spring training, but also that could have been nerves
and trying to do too much and everything. But nonetheless
he still made an adjustment. Not the lake kick, keep
keeping that lake down, recognizing that. Listen at my speed
and what I bring this game? Me making contact. Man,
that's part of my game. And he's doing that. And
you know he has some popp in there and he'll
drive a ball out of the ballpark and that's fun
(30:24):
to see.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
But I love it.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
He he brings, he brings energy, and he brings Droy,
which is really fun to watch as well. So I
love that Dalton Rushing. You know, it's just been a
small sample size, but man, he's strong. Oh we were
talking about the Lucha Daughters were out here yesterday. Who
do you not want to face in the ring? And
I'm like, Dalton Rushing, you kidding me? I don't want
(30:47):
to face that guy in the ring. He breaks me
in half.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But but he's strong.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
But also I love the way he you know, listening
to him talk about preparing I mean his night out
when he caught you know, Kirk Kershaw.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
He was saying, it's my fault.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
I have to be better on how I have to
help these guys get through a game, which is awesome
to take that kind of accountability. But at the same time,
just listening to that means he's constantly wanting to learn
the game and get better. So that's great to see.
And you know, we're talking about Andy paiees. Andy Paie
has evolution as well from offensively make working hard, making
adjustments defensively, has made tremendous strides defensively, but he's out
(31:24):
here every day working as well, the routes, the accuracy
to the basis, constantly doing that, talking to veterans, talking
to his coaches. So these young guys, but if you
want to have an organization that's going to sustain winning
over an extended period of time, you need young guys
to come up through the organization. You can't just go
out there and just trade or just get everybody all
(31:45):
the time. And I was like, well, isn't that what
the dodger. You know, you look at some of the
guys when you look at the stretch of success that
they have had over these years. You know, you look
at Cody Bellinger's right, the Corey Seekers, the Jock Peterson's,
they were all young. At some point you had to
come up and they say, hey, when is our time?
When are we going to give them a chance to
go out there and prove themselves?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
And that's what you got to do. For these young guys.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
We milked them like a Soritos dairy cow. The great
Nomar Garciapara undercover South Bay staple now, but a classy one,
A classy one, not out in front of everybody like
Pete Carroll and his beach cruiser and a bad news.
Somebody from from the Bosco type said told me that
they want me to want me to ask you if
you know that if the Pizzamania has closed down?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Did you did you hear about this? Did I?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Do? I knew it?
Speaker 7 (32:31):
I when it crushed me when they fi when the
when it caught fire. So I know I know the
owner really well, he's just a bill is amazing and uh,
you know it's about rebuilding and building bigger and better
than driver.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I'm in the community. I mean, it's a staple love
that play.
Speaker 7 (32:46):
So many people that I know who have worked there,
who do work there now it's like a family, and
and and so we wish them well, wish them. We're
looking forward to the rebuilding and getting back out there
and have an amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Pizza fists up for Pizzamania. We'll do a Petro Money
show from there.
