Sports later this hour, we'll havethe spirituality that we desperately crash we have.
Oh yeah, we're gonna have vicon today and we're gonna get into
it. Also, I will tellyou the story about uncle. You have
a pappy? What a mother woulddo for a sucky We know what Luis
(00:20):
Rubiella's mother did. She's on ahunger strike until everybody stops being mean to
her son. She's in church ona hunger strike. My mother did not
go on a hunger strike, butthere was a moment where I had done
something pretty stupid and she stepped up. And I'll tell you that story coming
up later tonight. The Diamondbacks takeon the Dodgers out of the stadium.
(00:43):
The first pitch is seven. Listento the game in HD on the free
iHeartRadio app live from the gallupin MotorsBroadcast Booth, and the keyword is AM
five seventy LA sports Man. Iyou look at the Dodgers record and it
is just you know, I don'tknow if it's been very quiet, but
(01:03):
since the y'all star break, Davidvasse joins US. Since Y'all Star break,
I mean, these guys have lookedlike the best team in baseball to
me, Dave, Yeah, Imean I hard to say. I mean,
the Atlanta Braves are really good andwe're gonna get to see who's the
better team starting Thursday. And that'swhat I'm really excited for, to see
these two teams play this late inthe season, which is very unusual.
(01:29):
Yeah, David, last night BobbyMiller, uh solid, had some rocky
points in there. I happen tothink it's it's it's good for him to
go through those type of games becausethat's that's basically, that's life and he's
gonna have to deal with that andhow you how you deal with that is
going to be important for his growthin the future, especially as this team
(01:49):
gets ready for the playoffs, becausethey're going to need him. What do
you think about him yesterday? Areyou trying to use a life metaphor for
Bobby Miller? Yes, I am, Yeah, adversity in life, and
I guess that can be the metaphorused on the man Rodney, And you're
right, and he passed that test. He did not have his best stuff.
He said after the game. Buthe found other ways to get those
(02:13):
diamondback hitters out and really be economicalbecause he only threw eighty six pitches in
six innings last night. So yeah, that was a big leap in Bobby's
development last night. All right,Dave, So let's just get caught up
on what's happening first. Tordy Gonslinthe word, you know, we understand
he's undergoing Tommy John. Dave Robertsaid he was asymptomatic. Does that mean
(02:36):
he felt nothing all year? Anypained? Well, I wouldn't say that.
I think he was feeling some painbecause he does have a tear in
his right elbow. But I thinkwhat Dave was trying to say was the
pain wasn't bad enough where he couldn'tpitch every fifth day. And I pointed
this out a couple of weeks ago, and I know Rodney acknowledged it.
(02:58):
That looks he was a seventeen gamewinner last year, he was an All
Star last year. There has tobe something wrong with him physically to be
pitching at ninety one miles an hourwhen he was hitting ninety five ninety six
consistently last year, And you haveto give Tony Gonzwlin a lot of credit.
And Dave Roberts actually did this yesterdayfor going out there every fifth day
(03:22):
because Tony saw the Dodger pitching staff. He was still sit through whatever elbow
issue he had, because he lookedaround and said, if I go down,
we really are in trouble. Andup until a couple of weeks ago,
he was second. He had thesecond most innings pitched by any Dodger,
(03:46):
only second to Clayton Krusha, whomissed a month. So Tony Gonslin
tougher than what people were giving himcredit for. Yeah, and you've said
this before, Dave, And you'reclose to those guys down there, and
people don't realize that how many howoften guys play with Payne and you know,
just because you suit up doesn't meanyou're one hundred percent healthy. I
(04:09):
think he was saying this about MookieBetts when he was going through a struggle
and talking about he was not onehundred percent healthy. You knew that,
but as fans and as outside haslooked on it, it was like,
oh, Mooky's struggling for whatever reason, he can't he's not doing what he's
supposed to be doing, but inessence he was hurt. That happens quite
often, doesn't it. No,right, I think Dave's in a bad
(04:34):
self spot. Yeah, got meright there? Oh there he is,
He's back, Dave. I wasjust saying, you know, with Tony,
I heard the question, Rodney,Yeah, I heard that question.
And Alex Corra and Dave Roberts bothsaid one of the biggest keys to Mooky's
success this year is that he's healthy. So you're right. I mean,
(04:55):
good players don't just all of asudden become average or bad. There's usual
something going on physically. And onthe topic of Muki, Vegas has him
now was a favorite to win theMVP. What do you think the possibility
of that happening is, Dave,I think really good because of you know,
his incredible August on top of alreadya really great season. Now,
(05:18):
I will say this, the Dodgersand Braves series, it's going to have
four MVP candidates and basically the threefront runners on the same field at the
same time for four games coming upstarting Thursday. And whether this is wrong
or right, I feel like whoeverplays the best between Muki and Akunya and
(05:41):
Freddie that's going to leave a lastthing impression on any voter that has a
vote for the National League MVP.I agree, and you just hope these
guys, none of them really tryingto do too much. But I agree
with you this late in the season. If this series was happening in June,
I wouldn't say it wouldn't be abig deal. But the fact that
it's happening right now, between thosethree, it will leave a lasting impression
(06:06):
on everybody's side and everybody's mouth andminds going into the end of the season
day. But those two at thetop of the lineup for the Dodgers.
I mean, we talked about thisyesterday when Fred was out about how good
they are and how we haven't seenthat. You mentioned Roy Campanella, you
know, in Duke Snyder, butto carry this team forward and now we're
(06:29):
seeing, you know, Max Munsey, even though the average is not great,
hitting home runs offensively, even ifthe pitching is somewhat shaky, can
they can they make it happen andwin this thing strictly with the offense,
Dave, If the pitching is noton par or a little bit below average,
not in the playoffs, No,you can't win with offense. You
(06:51):
need pitching. I think every WorldSeries winner has proven that you need pitching.
You need starting pitching, You needyour bullpen, you know, whether
starters going into the bullpen or reliefpitchers that are already there to do their
job more nights than not, becauseif you don't have the pitching, you're
not going anywhere. And pitching adefense certainly. I know it's the cliche,
(07:15):
but those are difference makers in thepostseason, and quite honestly, Rodney,
if you look at the numbers,guys like Will Smith, David Peralta,
Miguel Rojans since the All Star Breakreally haven't done much and they need
more from those guys because the Dodgersoffense. Very fortunate. Mookie and Freddie
are on a different planet right now. You know, Dave talking about pitching.
(07:38):
Rodney and I kicked this around earlierin the show, just just an
idea. So you know, let'ssay, oh, Tany really can't pitch
anymore, but I can sure hit. He's a top ten hitter in baseball.
If you're the Dodgers heading into theoff season and you just talked about
the importance of pitching, I ammore apt to say, Okay, we're
gonna sign Julio and hold on tohim even if it means we can at
(08:00):
sign Otani because we don't know howwell he will pitch. Is his lack
of or concern about pitching going tobe concerning to the Dodgers. No,
I don't believe it's concerning to anyteam that's interested in Otani. Fred and
I feel like the baseball scribes outthere lose fack of the site that owners
(08:20):
around Baseball view Otani as a businessas set, not as a pitcher,
not as a dh not as mutuallyexclusive to each other. You're basically going
to get a guy that is generatinga lot of revenue for your team,
whether he's pitching or not. SoNo, I don't believe it's going to
discourage any teams that had interest inOtani before this terror And there's breaking news
(08:46):
now speaking of the Angels, JeffPasston is reporting the Angels have done something
very shocking that is going to haveripple effects as we get closer to October.
The Angels have placed Lucas Giolito,Matt Moore, Rinaldo Lopez, and
outfielders Hunter Renfro and Randall Gritchick onwaivers. What that is? Who's huge
(09:09):
and all can be claimed by teamsfor free on Thursday? Wait a minute,
what why would they place Gritchick andGiolito who they just trained it for
I know, And now they're outof the race and now they're putting these
guys on waivers. It is it'sshocking. It's I'll try to get more
information later today, but that's breakingjust now. According to Jeff Passon,
(09:33):
Wow wow wow West. So maybeit's a salary. I think Jeff Passon
is saying it's a salary so theydon't want to be in the luxury tax
Dave or or to a different thresholdwhen the season's over, because you've told
us that's when you figure out whereyou're at for the year. Yeah,
that's probably it. Art Marino seesthe Angels are not going to make the
(09:54):
postseason, so try to lower thatCBT cost. Wow do the Dodgers run
at any one of these guys day? A few of them could help the
Dodgers, that's for sure. Whata disaster? What what? Oh my
god? So now they've officially justpacked it in. It's over down there?
(10:15):
Oh yeah, I mean they're outof it with the mirrors getting hot.
Now they're at the race of theass throws and the Rangers. Yeah,
the Angels playoff chances are basically done. All right, well, Dave,
thanks for being on with the breakingnews. We appreciate it. Okay,
guys, all right, take iteasy. There goes David Vasset.
He's at the stadium. My god, how about that? What that is
(10:39):
crazy? Now, there's absolutely noway Otani stays there. What what would
mean there is remote to begin with, but man, this kind of move
and wait a minute, this kickinghim out the door. Didn't they give
up whatever they considered to be somegood young players. Yeah, they were
(11:00):
all in. They were going forit. I get they give them like
their second and third or second andfourth best prospects or something like that.
Yeah. Yeah, that's when theywere going for it. Not that these
system is great to begin with,but it's the best guys they had,
or second and fourth best guys theyhad. That's horrible. What are they
(11:20):
What did they do? You know, at the end of the day,
what did they do? Because nowif you lose Otani and look, Nick
Colletti tells us all the time.Yeah, the organization knows. No matter
what Baseball America says how good theseprospects are, the organization really knows.
And that's tried for Geelito. Theygave up some guys that they considered pretty
high. Right, So if youdon't give up those guys, but you
(11:43):
lose O'tani, at least you haveyoung guys now in the system costs control
that you can bring up and play. But you gave them away for people
you then just got rid of becauseyou didn't want to spend the money.
That is a mess. And theAngels are competing with the Dodgers again,
right, Fred, because they're LA. There's a something that they're operating like
an LA franchise. To me,no mean, I have to tell you,
(12:07):
and maybe to the average person,and they hear this, they don't
think twice about it. But ifyou do this as we do every day,
oh my god, that's sad whatwe just talked about. If you're
an Angel fan, we just talkedabout that. Not only do you you
know you're wrestling with Otani being goneand not being able to capitalize on him.
(12:28):
You're getting the news of this afire not even a fire sale,
Fred, This is just backing upthe dump truck to the to the to
the landfill and just dumping. Ohman, it's Jesus, I will say.
(12:48):
By the way, to talking theDodger aspect of this, they probably
don't have that great of a shotto get any of these guys because they
have the second best record in themajors as a waiver process. So all
these teams are down the line offspots. Yeah, they're way down the
line along the bace. So mostof these guys that anybody would want,
they all have a free shot atthem through the waiver process. That's crazy,
(13:09):
all right. Well, have spiritualityand the uncle. You have a
Pappy story coming up? Yes,oh yeah, young MC that's my guy
went that sea with him? Didyou? Uh? Yeah I did?
I did, Marvin young Man.Fred that that news is still shocking me.
(13:33):
Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan. Ona Tuesday, we just found out
that the uh the angels packed upthe truck and went to the and went
to the landfill. I didn't knowthat. Thought Thursday was the trash day,
Fred, Wednesday. Uh, yeah, it's you know what it is.
(13:56):
Okay, listen, let's have ameeting and let's I'm up with a
plan. Okay, Now we knowour plan could be ill advised, but
we're gonna have a plan, andour plan is we're going for it.
We don't care what it takes,we don't care what we have to surrender.
We're going for it. That's ourplan. Now, your plan is
ill advised, and you have toacknowledge that before you set the plan in
(14:16):
place. But we're going for it, all right, move forward? Here
we go. We go and realizeit was a bad plan, which we
could have told you before you hadthe plan. It was a bad plan.
So what are we going to donow? We're just gonna dump everything
(14:37):
that we went out and got forour plan. This is a colossal blunder.
This is a blunder of epic proportion. When you give us justice salary,
dump it's gotta be Is this still? I mean? And then is
there next move that Now we're gonnamake a real run at Otani and offering
(14:58):
it more than anybody can for him. Yeah, But if what they're trying
to do is impress him and say, hey, we're in it to win
it, and we've gone out andmade all these moves and these are real
players by the way, that wehave out of hell with it. We're
out. We're gonna get rid ofall them anyway, They're all gone.
I mean Hunter Renfro they signed atthe beginning of the season, Yeah,
(15:20):
right, Randall. Gritchick too,Yeah, Gritchick. No, they traded
for him. They traded for Giolito. I know they traded for Giolito.
Yeah. And they didn't sign Gritcheckat the beginning, did they. I
thought they traded Ronando Lopez was aguy they traded for. The other guys
they signed in the off season.Oh okay, So they went out and
they did this, and then youlook at it and they just got out
of the hell of it. Everybodygo everybody, I mean, what kind
(15:45):
of message does that send to aLet's forget Ohtana, your fan base got
a message? Is that send tothe fans? Hey, we went for
it. It didn't work. Wehave no backup plans. So what we're
gonna do is just get rid ofeverybody we got. That's an awful message
to send. You're not how excitedyou were three weeks ago. Yeah,
I do. We were just fullaround. That didn't work out. We're
(16:06):
gonna change direction now. We're justgonna dump these guys. Oh my god,
what a terrible, terrible couple ofweeks for the end. You're literally
were you right? It was likethree weeks ago that they were, Hey,
we're going for it. Fired upthe base, We're going for it,
folks, and everybody was so excitedabout it, and then there's this
(16:29):
just bad all right, before webring vic on because I teased it,
we told you about the the guythat heads up the soccer federation in Spain,
Ruby Allis, who his mother isnow staging a hunger strike at a
church because everybody's being mean to herson. Everybody's being mean, so mom
is staging a hunger strike. Itgot me to thinking when I was in
fifth grade, we had just movedfrom Detroit to Phoenix, and you know,
(16:52):
I was a new kid and Iwas trying to make friends and I
probably did a poor job of this. So people were asking me about me.
I said, yeah, I havethis uncle's name is uncle, you
have a pappy? You have that'sa real name. No, I just
made it up. I was infifth grade. I got this. That's
where it came from. That's whereit came from. Uncle. You have
(17:15):
a pappy. I said, yeah, he lives in the mountains. He
comes down occasionally. He's got abeard, he wears a big hat.
He's kind of a weird guy.And you know, some people are scared
of him. Some people like him. It's just this really weird guy.
So the kids said, you don'thave an uncle, you have a pappy.
I said, well, of courseI do. I mean I'm trying
to fit in and you know,get to know these new kids. Yeah,
I do. So I make upthis story. They said, we'll
(17:37):
bet you you don't. I said, well, what are you gonna bet?
It had to be ten kids inthat class went in their pocket and
took their lunch money and put itlike a container. I had to be
like five ten bucks in there.I don't know, but to me,
that was a lot of money.Right I'm in fifth grade. They said,
listen, if uncle you have apappy does not come to school,
(18:00):
you're gonna pay us whatever's in thecontainer, and we're gonna beat the hell
Outia. That's what it's gonna be. Is that what they said? Yeah,
we're gonna beat the hell Outia.If uncle you have a pappy does
not show up for school, We'regonna beat the hell out of you again.
Uncle. Back to why why didyou say, uncle, you have
a pappy? Was gonna come toschool? Or you had this juncle pappy?
(18:22):
Because I started making up this storyabout uncle, you have a pappy?
And then the kid said, youdon't have one? I said,
sure I do. Why did youmake the story up in the first p
Because I was a new kid.I was just trying to blend in.
Oh okay, I'm just trying toblend in. How are you blended?
Well? They telling stories about theiruncles and they say I have a cool
uncle too. We are you blend? How did that? Kids? Who
know? Is that supposed to makeyou be like, oh, yeah,
(18:44):
Fred has a cool uncle. Bringhim into the circle. Let's go Kevin.
Yes, you know that's called what'sthat ice breaker? Oh? Is
it? It's a nice breaker.So okay, guys, yeah he's doing
I'm Fred, you got this reallynice uncle? So whatever you say?
Right? All right? So anyway, it gets to that point and I
(19:06):
went home and I said to mymother, my god, you know I
have to pay these kids like fiveten bucks and uh, you know,
they're gonna beat the hell out ofme, and I made up this name
uncle yavapappy, and I'll be damnedif the next day she didn't show up
wearing a giant coat, a wigand a beard and your mom my mom,
and walked outside the classroom, knockedon the window, waved everybody,
(19:32):
and walked away so I would notget the hell beat out of me and
have to pay five dollars. Mymom did that. My mom did not
go on a hunger strike, butshe did turned into the pap She didn't
have to speak, she just hadto show herself. She had to wave,
and that was it. She waved. They all looked, they looked
(19:55):
at me. I shrugged my shouldersand all was good. But that's why
so safe, I see it.Okay, that's that's what moms will do
for their kids. Like mom who'sstarving herself in church. See, I
don't think my mom would have donethat. She was like, why did
you make that up? Go home, go back to exactly you take it.
(20:17):
I'll come back and he'll patch youup. But see, that's what
you get for lying. Yeah,that's what my mom would have done in
that situation. I guarantee you too, Kevin. I bet your mother I
don't know if you would have donethat, oh out of your mind?
If yeah, why are you outthere lines and the boys like that?
What's wrong with you? I'll raiseyou better than that made that bed.
Now you gotta go lying it.It's right. Yeah, well I didn't
(20:37):
have to, Thank God. Mymom was That was what my mom did
for me. Mama, Ye havea pappy who makes up a name like
that. You little Freddie Rogan,Little Freddie Rogan did it. And after
that, we need some spirituality.We gotta come together as a people.
I need the spirituality desperately, damnright, So provide that. Let's let's
(21:00):
walk him on Victor Brick with anale Hiko had two and Vic Good afternoon.
He's shopping with Uncle Yaga Poppik forhis silver outfit to celebrate Beyonce's looming
birthday. It's Fred Rogan. Hello, Vic, I love that story.
(21:23):
Bless your mother. Yes, wasn'tyou a doll? Wow? Very creative.
I just would do anything for Fred, for little little f J.
Frederick J Little Frederick J. Man. Yeah, he never lost, he
(21:47):
never got cut. Fifteen years inthe National Football League. Rodney Pete TB.
Rodney, did you ever have toturn in that playbook. I did,
VIC my fifteenth year was it three? Fourteenth, fifteenth year? Caroline
turned it in. I turned itin for UH for three days and then
(22:11):
they brought me back. It waspart of a strategy sess in raiders,
so they had to make room realquick, and it was always under the
standing I was coming right back.It's Al Davis to work the system.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, notsurprised. I think it's an amazing record.
Really, it's an amazing record ofendurance and relentlessness. Appreciative Vic.
(22:33):
He enhances and pumps us up.Every fifty three man roster should include Kevin
Faggus come on, nah, Andshe brings multi skills to every squad.
She's in for. Ronnie Fosco onthe board. Katie Newton here, I
am glad to be here on theones and the twos and threes and fours.
(23:00):
And listen, I am stunned atthe Jeff Passon breaking news on the
Angels Fellas. What is the messageto show? Hey, Otani, Yes,
what is that message? I mean, you're dumping all the dudes.
Geolito, grit Chick Lopez, Renfro. Matt Moore from the bullpen as well.
(23:23):
Are you kidding me? What's themessage to show? Hey? What
are you show and show? Well, you're showing him that. Well,
you know if your glasses have full, Hey, we're not afraid to go
for it. We're not afraid.Look what we did see We save it
(23:45):
up for you. We'll save itup for you. Yeah, this is
all part of our strategy. Theproblem is they gave up guys that can
play VIC. They give up youngguys that are cost controlled that they probably
should put in the majors. Iftheir pharmacystem if it's their second and third
prospect, you gotta believe they canplay a little bit and their cost controlled.
It's just a huge It just bungled, bungled it would look and it
(24:11):
speaks to and it's not second guessing, it's first guessing. Something we said
last year and last year we saidthey need to move Otani and build a
team and get what they can forhim. If they had done it last
year, they would have had somepretty good players. Now. I understand
Otani is a business all into himself, but ultimately, long term, what
(24:33):
Cells is winning, That's what sells. Yes, you need stars, but
what Cells is winning and they needto win. And it was just a
few weeks ago fellas that were halfback of the wild cart. Yes,
yes, and we were praising themfor going for it. They went for
it. This is so shocking andjolting. I mean, what's going through
(25:02):
the head of Shohei Otani? Whatis Otani san? What is he thinking
that? That to me is heis the thunderbolt here? What's going on
in the mind of Shohei Otani?Rogan and Rodney Sports, Well, obviously
(25:22):
Vic knows and we will find thatout on the other side. Oh yeah,
little low Rada, Come on,who don't like war? I love
some war, Rodney, Pete FredRogan, and we need it now,
war with spirituality. We need toknow that. We need to know what's
going on inside the mind of Otanisan. So let's rejoin Vic. Vic.
(25:48):
What's going on inside the mind ofOtani san? That's the five hundred
million dollar question. Obviously, obviouslyit's going to impact show. Hey,
I mean, he loves his teammatesand to see see them ripped asunder like
this. According to the Jeff Passonrevelation that they're dumping a lot of a
(26:18):
lot of solid players these are allproductive baseball players, and teams are going
to be you know, grabbing theseangels if this comes to pass. I
mean, who doesn't want Giolito,Well, that's who doesn't want these These
are these are solid productive major leagueball players, Lopez more out of the
(26:40):
bullpen, grit Chick. I mean, all these guys are productive. So
it's stunning. But again, heis such an enigma. He's a global
enigma in terms of what he's gonnado is showhy of course, you know,
with his elbow torn up and youknow, mulling over the possibility of
(27:03):
what his next move will he willhe get his second timey John surgery.
Remember it took him two years tocome back from his first time he John
surgery. Well, I'm saying,first of all, if somebody somebody question
marks without it's fascinating, yet it'svery frustrating. Well, he probably needs
(27:23):
it, and if he gets it, that means he's not going to pitch
for a while. And that meansobviously whatever somebody was going to pay him,
it's still gonna be a lot,but not as much. It's just
it's just a wacky dilemma. It'sa wacky wacky dilemma. Yeah, but
(27:45):
total clarity. Are y'all Dodges,you know, do not take it for
granted. These amazing numbers. They'vewon eighteen of the last twenty one,
twenty two and four in August.Yes, now lead the Snakes by thirteen
in the NLST, the Hated Onesby thirteen and a half, Drysdales the
(28:08):
eighty one and forty nine, andKurse goes tonight the one twenty two Kershaw,
I mean this is wild, wild, and give it up from Maximums
last night. You know, hitsthe home run, but he was brilliant
to third base. I mean hewas just like the human vacuum. It
was like, you know, aBrooks Robertson esque sizzling ground, scorching ground
(28:33):
balls snatched him up, perfect throwsto Freddy Freeman. I mean he was
playing flawless third base. So giveit up from Max at third last night
along with you know, Altman hitsanother homer, Jay Hay, of course,
Freddy Freeman number twenty four. Imean, this was just a great
I just thought it was a sensationalgame. And Bobby Miller with six fields
(28:56):
endings, they're just they're playing flawlessbaseball tonight, of course, six o'clock
Morongo Cosin Dodges on deck with TimKates, seven ish, first pitch from

I haven't started yet, Vic Coco, Coco, Coco, Coco graphs.
(29:22):
No, no, she let theref No, Vic, don't play with
me. Don't play with me.See over there stalling and slowing down my
game. I'm not having it,Vic Coco. He's grown up in four
eyes, right in front of oureyes. Vic nineteen years old. And
(29:45):
there she is in front of theObama's last night and Flushing survived the really
slow pace of Laura Sigamund from Germany, Yes, who later lashed out of
the Queen's crowd saying, where's mylove? Yeah, well, Laura,
if you're gonna if you're gonna playthat pace, you're not gonna get love
(30:06):
from the Queen's crowd. Let's faceit. Who was the player that said
she smelled weed the whole time?Or the Greek the Greek player? Yeah,
then I saw in the air.Yeah it was from the park,
of course, it was the adjoiningpark. Legal exactly I mean she was
(30:27):
up four to one Maria Sakari fromGreece. Then she started complaining of you
know, smelling the marijuana. Yeah, you know, but the buzz got
the hub. She lost, Shelost the match. Rebecca Massa Rava loved
the weed. She she rallied,she rallied in a big upset today American
(30:52):
Michael mo Shock number eleven, Karencatching Off Mo born in Saudi Arabia.
So that's a large upset today fromMichael Mole and Vicky Note that leads us
to always Fred, it's like thecircle of life. Yes, yes,
the high coup for you on thisTuesday, August of twenty nine. It's
(31:17):
from Anita Wilson. Who Anita Wilson. Who's Anita Wilson. She's a poet,
and she threw down this summer highcoup for us, right, Hi,
coop for you? Bamboo flickering grasshopperleaps from the leaves. What else
(31:40):
is in there? I'm feeling you, Anita Wilson. Y'all, did Anita
Wilson actually say what else is inthere? Or did you just add that
that was completely unenhanced, Fred,that's all Anita Wilson. So basically,
what else is in there? Whatelse is in there? The bamboo is
(32:02):
on fire and the grasshopper jumped out, and she was saying, if anything
else is in there, they betterget out right now or is it gonna
burned up? Well, she justwas wondering, you got you got a
grasshopper, you know, leaping fromthe leaves. Who knows would other delights
of the summer will also leap out? Vic? Yes, I found it
(32:27):
very very enlightning from Anita Wilson.No, I don't think anybody found it
lightning. But Bay, here's myquestion. Look at you, Fred,
I'm being honest. Would you wouldyou if you saw the grasshopper jump out,
and using the logic of Anito Wilson, would you just stick your hand
in the pile of leaves to figureout what else was in there? Would
you do that? Vic? Iwould just relax embrace it, but I
(32:52):
would not stick my hand in theleaves, Fred, because, as Anita
says, who knows what else isin there? Katie, great job today,
Thank you for going for Ronnie Kevinoutstanding as always. We'll try to
figure out what's in the leaves andRodney, we'll be back tomorrow right,
And we continue on Fred Rogan andRodney Pete on AM five seventy l a
Sports later this hour, we'll havethe spirituality that we desperately crash we have.
Oh yeah, we're gonna have vicon today and we're gonna get into
it. Also, I will tellyou the story about uncle. You have
a pappy? What a mother woulddo for a sucky We know what Luis
(00:20):
Rubiella's mother did. She's on ahunger strike until everybody stops being mean to
her son. She's in church ona hunger strike. My mother did not
go on a hunger strike, butthere was a moment where I had done
something pretty stupid and she stepped up. And I'll tell you that story coming
up later tonight. The Diamondbacks takeon the Dodgers out of the stadium.
(00:43):
The first pitch is seven. Listento the game in HD on the free
iHeartRadio app live from the gallupin MotorsBroadcast Booth, and the keyword is AM
five seventy LA sports Man. Iyou look at the Dodgers record and it
is just you know, I don'tknow if it's been very quiet, but
(01:03):
since the y'all star break, Davidvasse joins US. Since Y'all Star break,
I mean, these guys have lookedlike the best team in baseball to
me, Dave, Yeah, Imean I hard to say. I mean,
the Atlanta Braves are really good andwe're gonna get to see who's the
better team starting Thursday. And that'swhat I'm really excited for, to see
these two teams play this late inthe season, which is very unusual.
(01:29):
Yeah, David, last night BobbyMiller, uh solid, had some rocky
points in there. I happen tothink it's it's it's good for him to
go through those type of games becausethat's that's basically, that's life and he's
gonna have to deal with that andhow you how you deal with that is
going to be important for his growthin the future, especially as this team
(01:49):
gets ready for the playoffs, becausethey're going to need him. What do
you think about him yesterday? Areyou trying to use a life metaphor for
Bobby Miller? Yes, I am, Yeah, adversity in life, and
I guess that can be the metaphorused on the man Rodney, And you're
right, and he passed that test. He did not have his best stuff.
He said after the game. Buthe found other ways to get those
(02:13):
diamondback hitters out and really be economicalbecause he only threw eighty six pitches in
six innings last night. So yeah, that was a big leap in Bobby's
development last night. All right,Dave, So let's just get caught up
on what's happening first. Tordy Gonslinthe word, you know, we understand
he's undergoing Tommy John. Dave Robertsaid he was asymptomatic. Does that mean
(02:36):
he felt nothing all year? Anypained? Well, I wouldn't say that.
I think he was feeling some painbecause he does have a tear in
his right elbow. But I thinkwhat Dave was trying to say was the
pain wasn't bad enough where he couldn'tpitch every fifth day. And I pointed
this out a couple of weeks ago, and I know Rodney acknowledged it.
(02:58):
That looks he was a seventeen gamewinner last year, he was an All
Star last year. There has tobe something wrong with him physically to be
pitching at ninety one miles an hourwhen he was hitting ninety five ninety six
consistently last year, And you haveto give Tony Gonzwlin a lot of credit.
And Dave Roberts actually did this yesterdayfor going out there every fifth day
(03:22):
because Tony saw the Dodger pitching staff. He was still sit through whatever elbow
issue he had, because he lookedaround and said, if I go down,
we really are in trouble. Andup until a couple of weeks ago,
he was second. He had thesecond most innings pitched by any Dodger,
(03:46):
only second to Clayton Krusha, whomissed a month. So Tony Gonslin
tougher than what people were giving himcredit for. Yeah, and you've said
this before, Dave, And you'reclose to those guys down there, and
people don't realize that how many howoften guys play with Payne and you know,
just because you suit up doesn't meanyou're one hundred percent healthy. I
(04:09):
think he was saying this about MookieBetts when he was going through a struggle
and talking about he was not onehundred percent healthy. You knew that,
but as fans and as outside haslooked on it, it was like,
oh, Mooky's struggling for whatever reason, he can't he's not doing what he's
supposed to be doing, but inessence he was hurt. That happens quite
often, doesn't it. No,right, I think Dave's in a bad
(04:34):
self spot. Yeah, got meright there? Oh there he is,
He's back, Dave. I wasjust saying, you know, with Tony,
I heard the question, Rodney,Yeah, I heard that question.
And Alex Corra and Dave Roberts bothsaid one of the biggest keys to Mooky's
success this year is that he's healthy. So you're right. I mean,
(04:55):
good players don't just all of asudden become average or bad. There's usual
something going on physically. And onthe topic of Muki, Vegas has him
now was a favorite to win theMVP. What do you think the possibility
of that happening is, Dave,I think really good because of you know,
his incredible August on top of alreadya really great season. Now,
(05:18):
I will say this, the Dodgersand Braves series, it's going to have
four MVP candidates and basically the threefront runners on the same field at the
same time for four games coming upstarting Thursday. And whether this is wrong
or right, I feel like whoeverplays the best between Muki and Akunya and
(05:41):
Freddie that's going to leave a lastthing impression on any voter that has a
vote for the National League MVP.I agree, and you just hope these
guys, none of them really tryingto do too much. But I agree
with you this late in the season. If this series was happening in June,
I wouldn't say it wouldn't be abig deal. But the fact that
it's happening right now, between thosethree, it will leave a lasting impression
(06:06):
on everybody's side and everybody's mouth andminds going into the end of the season
day. But those two at thetop of the lineup for the Dodgers.
I mean, we talked about thisyesterday when Fred was out about how good
they are and how we haven't seenthat. You mentioned Roy Campanella, you
know, in Duke Snyder, butto carry this team forward and now we're
(06:29):
seeing, you know, Max Munsey, even though the average is not great,
hitting home runs offensively, even ifthe pitching is somewhat shaky, can
they can they make it happen andwin this thing strictly with the offense,
Dave, If the pitching is noton par or a little bit below average,
not in the playoffs, No,you can't win with offense. You
(06:51):
need pitching. I think every WorldSeries winner has proven that you need pitching.
You need starting pitching, You needyour bullpen, you know, whether
starters going into the bullpen or reliefpitchers that are already there to do their
job more nights than not, becauseif you don't have the pitching, you're
not going anywhere. And pitching adefense certainly. I know it's the cliche,
(07:15):
but those are difference makers in thepostseason, and quite honestly, Rodney,
if you look at the numbers,guys like Will Smith, David Peralta,
Miguel Rojans since the All Star Breakreally haven't done much and they need
more from those guys because the Dodgersoffense. Very fortunate. Mookie and Freddie
are on a different planet right now. You know, Dave talking about pitching.
(07:38):
Rodney and I kicked this around earlierin the show, just just an
idea. So you know, let'ssay, oh, Tany really can't pitch
anymore, but I can sure hit. He's a top ten hitter in baseball.
If you're the Dodgers heading into theoff season and you just talked about
the importance of pitching, I ammore apt to say, Okay, we're
gonna sign Julio and hold on tohim even if it means we can at
(08:00):
sign Otani because we don't know howwell he will pitch. Is his lack
of or concern about pitching going tobe concerning to the Dodgers. No,
I don't believe it's concerning to anyteam that's interested in Otani. Fred and
I feel like the baseball scribes outthere lose fack of the site that owners
(08:20):
around Baseball view Otani as a businessas set, not as a pitcher,
not as a dh not as mutuallyexclusive to each other. You're basically going
to get a guy that is generatinga lot of revenue for your team,
whether he's pitching or not. SoNo, I don't believe it's going to
discourage any teams that had interest inOtani before this terror And there's breaking news
(08:46):
now speaking of the Angels, JeffPasston is reporting the Angels have done something
very shocking that is going to haveripple effects as we get closer to October.
The Angels have placed Lucas Giolito,Matt Moore, Rinaldo Lopez, and
outfielders Hunter Renfro and Randall Gritchick onwaivers. What that is? Who's huge
(09:09):
and all can be claimed by teamsfor free on Thursday? Wait a minute,
what why would they place Gritchick andGiolito who they just trained it for
I know, And now they're outof the race and now they're putting these
guys on waivers. It is it'sshocking. It's I'll try to get more
information later today, but that's breakingjust now. According to Jeff Passon,
(09:33):
Wow wow wow West. So maybeit's a salary. I think Jeff Passon
is saying it's a salary so theydon't want to be in the luxury tax
Dave or or to a different thresholdwhen the season's over, because you've told
us that's when you figure out whereyou're at for the year. Yeah,
that's probably it. Art Marino seesthe Angels are not going to make the
(09:54):
postseason, so try to lower thatCBT cost. Wow do the Dodgers run
at any one of these guys day? A few of them could help the
Dodgers, that's for sure. Whata disaster? What what? Oh my
god? So now they've officially justpacked it in. It's over down there?
(10:15):
Oh yeah, I mean they're outof it with the mirrors getting hot.
Now they're at the race of theass throws and the Rangers. Yeah,
the Angels playoff chances are basically done. All right, well, Dave,
thanks for being on with the breakingnews. We appreciate it. Okay,
guys, all right, take iteasy. There goes David Vasset.
He's at the stadium. My god, how about that? What that is
(10:39):
crazy? Now, there's absolutely noway Otani stays there. What what would
mean there is remote to begin with, but man, this kind of move
and wait a minute, this kickinghim out the door. Didn't they give
up whatever they considered to be somegood young players. Yeah, they were
(11:00):
all in. They were going forit. I get they give them like
their second and third or second andfourth best prospects or something like that.
Yeah. Yeah, that's when theywere going for it. Not that these
system is great to begin with,but it's the best guys they had,
or second and fourth best guys theyhad. That's horrible. What are they
(11:20):
What did they do? You know, at the end of the day,
what did they do? Because nowif you lose Otani and look, Nick
Colletti tells us all the time.Yeah, the organization knows. No matter
what Baseball America says how good theseprospects are, the organization really knows.
And that's tried for Geelito. Theygave up some guys that they considered pretty
high. Right, So if youdon't give up those guys, but you
(11:43):
lose O'tani, at least you haveyoung guys now in the system costs control
that you can bring up and play. But you gave them away for people
you then just got rid of becauseyou didn't want to spend the money.
That is a mess. And theAngels are competing with the Dodgers again,
right, Fred, because they're LA. There's a something that they're operating like
an LA franchise. To me,no mean, I have to tell you,
(12:07):
and maybe to the average person,and they hear this, they don't
think twice about it. But ifyou do this as we do every day,
oh my god, that's sad whatwe just talked about. If you're
an Angel fan, we just talkedabout that. Not only do you you
know you're wrestling with Otani being goneand not being able to capitalize on him.
(12:28):
You're getting the news of this afire not even a fire sale,
Fred, This is just backing upthe dump truck to the to the to
the landfill and just dumping. Ohman, it's Jesus, I will say.
(12:48):
By the way, to talking theDodger aspect of this, they probably
don't have that great of a shotto get any of these guys because they
have the second best record in themajors as a waiver process. So all
these teams are down the line offspots. Yeah, they're way down the
line along the bace. So mostof these guys that anybody would want,
they all have a free shot atthem through the waiver process. That's crazy,
(13:09):
all right. Well, have spiritualityand the uncle. You have a
Pappy story coming up? Yes,oh yeah, young MC that's my guy
went that sea with him? Didyou? Uh? Yeah I did?
I did, Marvin young Man.Fred that that news is still shocking me.
(13:33):
Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan. Ona Tuesday, we just found out
that the uh the angels packed upthe truck and went to the and went
to the landfill. I didn't knowthat. Thought Thursday was the trash day,
Fred, Wednesday. Uh, yeah, it's you know what it is.
(13:56):
Okay, listen, let's have ameeting and let's I'm up with a
plan. Okay, Now we knowour plan could be ill advised, but
we're gonna have a plan, andour plan is we're going for it.
We don't care what it takes,we don't care what we have to surrender.
We're going for it. That's ourplan. Now, your plan is
ill advised, and you have toacknowledge that before you set the plan in
(14:16):
place. But we're going for it, all right, move forward? Here
we go. We go and realizeit was a bad plan, which we
could have told you before you hadthe plan. It was a bad plan.
So what are we going to donow? We're just gonna dump everything
(14:37):
that we went out and got forour plan. This is a colossal blunder.
This is a blunder of epic proportion. When you give us justice salary,
dump it's gotta be Is this still? I mean? And then is
there next move that Now we're gonnamake a real run at Otani and offering
(14:58):
it more than anybody can for him. Yeah, But if what they're trying
to do is impress him and say, hey, we're in it to win
it, and we've gone out andmade all these moves and these are real
players by the way, that wehave out of hell with it. We're
out. We're gonna get rid ofall them anyway, They're all gone.
I mean Hunter Renfro they signed atthe beginning of the season, Yeah,
(15:20):
right, Randall. Gritchick too,Yeah, Gritchick. No, they traded
for him. They traded for Giolito. I know they traded for Giolito.
Yeah. And they didn't sign Gritcheckat the beginning, did they. I
thought they traded Ronando Lopez was aguy they traded for. The other guys
they signed in the off season.Oh okay, So they went out and
they did this, and then youlook at it and they just got out
of the hell of it. Everybodygo everybody, I mean, what kind
(15:45):
of message does that send to aLet's forget Ohtana, your fan base got
a message? Is that send tothe fans? Hey, we went for
it. It didn't work. Wehave no backup plans. So what we're
gonna do is just get rid ofeverybody we got. That's an awful message
to send. You're not how excitedyou were three weeks ago. Yeah,
I do. We were just fullaround. That didn't work out. We're
(16:06):
gonna change direction now. We're justgonna dump these guys. Oh my god,
what a terrible, terrible couple ofweeks for the end. You're literally
were you right? It was likethree weeks ago that they were, Hey,
we're going for it. Fired upthe base, We're going for it,
folks, and everybody was so excitedabout it, and then there's this
(16:29):
just bad all right, before webring vic on because I teased it,
we told you about the the guythat heads up the soccer federation in Spain,
Ruby Allis, who his mother isnow staging a hunger strike at a
church because everybody's being mean to herson. Everybody's being mean, so mom
is staging a hunger strike. Itgot me to thinking when I was in
fifth grade, we had just movedfrom Detroit to Phoenix, and you know,
(16:52):
I was a new kid and Iwas trying to make friends and I
probably did a poor job of this. So people were asking me about me.
I said, yeah, I havethis uncle's name is uncle, you
have a pappy? You have that'sa real name. No, I just
made it up. I was infifth grade. I got this. That's
where it came from. That's whereit came from. Uncle. You have
(17:15):
a pappy. I said, yeah, he lives in the mountains. He
comes down occasionally. He's got abeard, he wears a big hat.
He's kind of a weird guy.And you know, some people are scared
of him. Some people like him. It's just this really weird guy.
So the kids said, you don'thave an uncle, you have a pappy.
I said, well, of courseI do. I mean I'm trying
to fit in and you know,get to know these new kids. Yeah,
I do. So I make upthis story. They said, we'll
(17:37):
bet you you don't. I said, well, what are you gonna bet?
It had to be ten kids inthat class went in their pocket and
took their lunch money and put itlike a container. I had to be
like five ten bucks in there.I don't know, but to me,
that was a lot of money.Right I'm in fifth grade. They said,
listen, if uncle you have apappy does not come to school,
(18:00):
you're gonna pay us whatever's in thecontainer, and we're gonna beat the hell
Outia. That's what it's gonna be. Is that what they said? Yeah,
we're gonna beat the hell Outia.If uncle you have a pappy does
not show up for school, We'regonna beat the hell out of you again.
Uncle. Back to why why didyou say, uncle, you have
a pappy? Was gonna come toschool? Or you had this juncle pappy?
(18:22):
Because I started making up this storyabout uncle, you have a pappy?
And then the kid said, youdon't have one? I said,
sure I do. Why did youmake the story up in the first p
Because I was a new kid.I was just trying to blend in.
Oh okay, I'm just trying toblend in. How are you blended?
Well? They telling stories about theiruncles and they say I have a cool
uncle too. We are you blend? How did that? Kids? Who
know? Is that supposed to makeyou be like, oh, yeah,
(18:44):
Fred has a cool uncle. Bringhim into the circle. Let's go Kevin.
Yes, you know that's called what'sthat ice breaker? Oh? Is
it? It's a nice breaker.So okay, guys, yeah he's doing
I'm Fred, you got this reallynice uncle? So whatever you say?
Right? All right? So anyway, it gets to that point and I
(19:06):
went home and I said to mymother, my god, you know I
have to pay these kids like fiveten bucks and uh, you know,
they're gonna beat the hell out ofme, and I made up this name
uncle yavapappy, and I'll be damnedif the next day she didn't show up
wearing a giant coat, a wigand a beard and your mom my mom,
and walked outside the classroom, knockedon the window, waved everybody,
(19:32):
and walked away so I would notget the hell beat out of me and
have to pay five dollars. Mymom did that. My mom did not
go on a hunger strike, butshe did turned into the pap She didn't
have to speak, she just hadto show herself. She had to wave,
and that was it. She waved. They all looked, they looked
(19:55):
at me. I shrugged my shouldersand all was good. But that's why
so safe, I see it.Okay, that's that's what moms will do
for their kids. Like mom who'sstarving herself in church. See, I
don't think my mom would have donethat. She was like, why did
you make that up? Go home, go back to exactly you take it.
(20:17):
I'll come back and he'll patch youup. But see, that's what
you get for lying. Yeah,that's what my mom would have done in
that situation. I guarantee you too, Kevin. I bet your mother I
don't know if you would have donethat, oh out of your mind?
If yeah, why are you outthere lines and the boys like that?
What's wrong with you? I'll raiseyou better than that made that bed.
Now you gotta go lying it.It's right. Yeah, well I didn't
(20:37):
have to, Thank God. Mymom was That was what my mom did
for me. Mama, Ye havea pappy who makes up a name like
that. You little Freddie Rogan,Little Freddie Rogan did it. And after
that, we need some spirituality.We gotta come together as a people.
I need the spirituality desperately, damnright, So provide that. Let's let's
(21:00):
walk him on Victor Brick with anale Hiko had two and Vic Good afternoon.
He's shopping with Uncle Yaga Poppik forhis silver outfit to celebrate Beyonce's looming
birthday. It's Fred Rogan. Hello, Vic, I love that story.
(21:23):
Bless your mother. Yes, wasn'tyou a doll? Wow? Very creative.
I just would do anything for Fred, for little little f J.
Frederick J Little Frederick J. Man. Yeah, he never lost, he
(21:47):
never got cut. Fifteen years inthe National Football League. Rodney Pete TB.
Rodney, did you ever have toturn in that playbook. I did,
VIC my fifteenth year was it three? Fourteenth, fifteenth year? Caroline
turned it in. I turned itin for UH for three days and then
(22:11):
they brought me back. It waspart of a strategy sess in raiders,
so they had to make room realquick, and it was always under the
standing I was coming right back.It's Al Davis to work the system.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, notsurprised. I think it's an amazing record.
Really, it's an amazing record ofendurance and relentlessness. Appreciative Vic.
(22:33):
He enhances and pumps us up.Every fifty three man roster should include Kevin
Faggus come on, nah, Andshe brings multi skills to every squad.
She's in for. Ronnie Fosco onthe board. Katie Newton here, I
am glad to be here on theones and the twos and threes and fours.
(23:00):
And listen, I am stunned atthe Jeff Passon breaking news on the
Angels Fellas. What is the messageto show? Hey, Otani, Yes,
what is that message? I mean, you're dumping all the dudes.
Geolito, grit Chick Lopez, Renfro. Matt Moore from the bullpen as well.
(23:23):
Are you kidding me? What's themessage to show? Hey? What
are you show and show? Well, you're showing him that. Well,
you know if your glasses have full, Hey, we're not afraid to go
for it. We're not afraid.Look what we did see We save it
(23:45):
up for you. We'll save itup for you. Yeah, this is
all part of our strategy. Theproblem is they gave up guys that can
play VIC. They give up youngguys that are cost controlled that they probably
should put in the majors. Iftheir pharmacystem if it's their second and third
prospect, you gotta believe they canplay a little bit and their cost controlled.
It's just a huge It just bungled, bungled it would look and it
(24:11):
speaks to and it's not second guessing, it's first guessing. Something we said
last year and last year we saidthey need to move Otani and build a
team and get what they can forhim. If they had done it last
year, they would have had somepretty good players. Now. I understand
Otani is a business all into himself, but ultimately, long term, what
(24:33):
Cells is winning, That's what sells. Yes, you need stars, but
what Cells is winning and they needto win. And it was just a
few weeks ago fellas that were halfback of the wild cart. Yes,
yes, and we were praising themfor going for it. They went for
it. This is so shocking andjolting. I mean, what's going through
(25:02):
the head of Shohei Otani? Whatis Otani san? What is he thinking
that? That to me is heis the thunderbolt here? What's going on
in the mind of Shohei Otani?Rogan and Rodney Sports, Well, obviously
(25:22):
Vic knows and we will find thatout on the other side. Oh yeah,
little low Rada, Come on,who don't like war? I love
some war, Rodney, Pete FredRogan, and we need it now,
war with spirituality. We need toknow that. We need to know what's
going on inside the mind of Otanisan. So let's rejoin Vic. Vic.
(25:48):
What's going on inside the mind ofOtani san? That's the five hundred
million dollar question. Obviously, obviouslyit's going to impact show. Hey,
I mean, he loves his teammatesand to see see them ripped asunder like
this. According to the Jeff Passonrevelation that they're dumping a lot of a
(26:18):
lot of solid players these are allproductive baseball players, and teams are going
to be you know, grabbing theseangels if this comes to pass. I
mean, who doesn't want Giolito,Well, that's who doesn't want these These
are these are solid productive major leagueball players, Lopez more out of the
(26:40):
bullpen, grit Chick. I mean, all these guys are productive. So
it's stunning. But again, heis such an enigma. He's a global
enigma in terms of what he's gonnado is showhy of course, you know,
with his elbow torn up and youknow, mulling over the possibility of
(27:03):
what his next move will he willhe get his second timey John surgery.
Remember it took him two years tocome back from his first time he John
surgery. Well, I'm saying,first of all, if somebody somebody question
marks without it's fascinating, yet it'svery frustrating. Well, he probably needs
(27:23):
it, and if he gets it, that means he's not going to pitch
for a while. And that meansobviously whatever somebody was going to pay him,
it's still gonna be a lot,but not as much. It's just
it's just a wacky dilemma. It'sa wacky wacky dilemma. Yeah, but

coop for you? Bamboo flickering grasshopperleaps from the leaves. What else
(31:40):
is in there? I'm feeling you, Anita Wilson. Y'all, did Anita
Wilson actually say what else is inthere? Or did you just add that
that was completely unenhanced, Fred,that's all Anita Wilson. So basically,
what else is in there? Whatelse is in there? The bamboo is
(32:02):
on fire and the grasshopper jumped out, and she was saying, if anything
else is in there, they betterget out right now or is it gonna
burned up? Well, she justwas wondering, you got you got a
grasshopper, you know, leaping fromthe leaves. Who knows would other delights
of the summer will also leap out? Vic? Yes, I found it

very very enlightning from Anita Wilson.No, I don't think anybody found it
lightning. But Bay, here's myquestion. Look at you, Fred,
I'm being honest. Would you wouldyou if you saw the grasshopper jump out,
and using the logic of Anito Wilson, would you just stick your hand
in the pile of leaves to figureout what else was in there? Would
you do that? Vic? Iwould just relax embrace it, but I
(32:52):
would not stick my hand in theleaves, Fred, because, as Anita
says, who knows what else isin there? Katie, great job today,
Thank you for going for Ronnie Kevinoutstanding as always. We'll try to
figure out what's in the leaves andRodney, we'll be back tomorrow right,
