Booth Dodgers on Deck at six heck of a night
last night out of Dodger Stadium played the first job,
Beautiful Ceremony, Beautiful celebration, beautiful moment, dig up the mound,
(01:21):
hug the kids, make out with the wife. It was glorious.
It was everything you want out. Would he say they
made out? I mean, well, lock lips with the wife.
It wasn't like you know, somebody in the get it room.
Yeah no, no, no, I didn't hear that. They locked
lips for an extended you know, a couple seconds. Beautiful,
the kids there, the c three K hats. It was
everything you'd want it to be. And you heard it
(01:43):
all right here on.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I don't think he was gonna make it, did you know?
Actually was very compelling. Like as the game was going on,
the secret Textoso line started to explode because people were like,
he's not gonna make an essay. Ain't not gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Full Like, I don't I avoid the Twitter these days
a little bit, but I was tempted to because this
is so important, right, I mean, if I'm willing to
tweet something, you know it has to be serious.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well without it that without saying even though you just
said it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But it's like, if you're Jim Wolf, either you're the
dumbest umpire in the history of baseball or you are
such a colossal, not even a meglomaniac that you have
made this night about you. How are you going to
squeeze Clayton Kershaw when there's fifty five thousand people packed
(02:36):
into Dodger Stadium to see him get three strikeouts? How
the hell have you decided you're gonna call a tight
freaking game and you're gonna squeeze this guy on this
particular night with that many people there against a dog
crap team like the White Sox. You've decided, Oh yeah,
I'm gonna give these hitters a chance to take advantage
(02:57):
of this that strikes on that idiot decide I had
to call that night.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You were gonna go Steven Nelson and attack Jim Wolf. Yes,
last night's home played umpire. He is and is somebody
there to get the timpany? Both Matt and I were too.
Bitch made two deal, the five, the the one Ted.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I took it for two hours and eight minutes yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I am happy to announce and if I wasn't gonna
do it, Tim Kates woulding And in fact Tim could
even do the honors if he wants. From El Camino
High School, the eight one eight Tonight's pregame guest on
Dodger Don featuring David Masse and of course hosted by
(03:45):
Tim Kats Moran Tho Casino, Dodgers on Deck his Home
played Umpire Jim Wall once again at six tonight Home
played Umpire eight eight's Finest to Night Jim Wolf. Like, now,
(04:12):
aren't you glad you didn't send that tweet? Matt?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yes, although what I and I understand, Dave is now
gonna have to tip. But like, what are you doing, Jim?
What truly? What kind of a colossal idiot do you
have to be to have a tight strike zone last night?
And this makes it even worse, you saying that that
he's an Elshi, that this is this.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Is just because he's from just because he's from the
valley means he's supposed to give Kershaw a big hot
dog in a hallway berth.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No, he's not supposed to give it to He's not
supposed to give that to Kershaw. What he's supposed to
do is say, hey, you know what, for both Burke
and Kershaw, I'm gonna call it a little I'm gonna
call it little. Why tonight you know, hitters Hitter's gonna
have to to expand their strike zone a little bit
because it's fifty five thousand here in Chavez Ravine at
(05:04):
Dodger Stadium, and I'm gonna I'm gonna do what an
umpire has the authority because we don't have robot umps
yet to do. And you know what a robot op
would have been better. I'm going to expand the strike
zone for both guys. That's all you do. It's just
you said that. That's all the players say they want.
They just want it to be consistent, to be called
the same way for both teams, for both pitcher or
(05:25):
for every picture on both sides.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Your takeaway from last night was Jim Wolf your quote
unquote idiot. Yes, El Cabino High School Royal. That was
your takeaway that he almost ruined the night for everybody involved.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yes, when you said that that, you know, when you asked, hey,
were you starting to stay? Yeah, I was like, this
is insanity. Those first pitch tho. She had back to
back hits on guys that he clearly threw a first
pitch strike and they were called balls in the very
next pitch as he's trying to make it one and
one instead of two and oh. Those Balls, get Rope.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
For its and serious. El Camino Real High School Royals.
Unbelievable list of notable alums, is that right? Yeah? Well,
including friend of the show Bill Zapka from The Karate Kid,
Johnny Lawrence, Jim Wolf, major league umpire. I don't know
(06:26):
if you've ever heard of him, Randy Wolf nicknamed Wolfy,
Jim's brother, major League Baseball pitcher with the Phillies, Dodgers,
Padres Houston Astros.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Where do you go to college?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Man? Yep, that's his brother.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's his brother.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Jesse James Hollywood, convicted murderer portrayed by Emil Hirsch in
the movie Alpha Dog.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
A little more of an infamous as opposed to famous.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
There the guy from Bad Religion, the bassist Jay Bent.
I mean, we're talking about it. Who's who? Jamal Anderson,
the Dirty Bird running back and now we might have
ruined a relationship with the whole school.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes, Tim, I'm not gonna go as far as Matt went,
but I can kind of see where Matt was going
because last night I was sitting at home watching the
game and he was squeezing him early, and I said,
come on, Wolfy, come on, loosening up a little bit,
big guy, listen, loosen up.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And again, Kate's that's what you would say in a
regular season game number fifty two, that the Dodgers having
open dryers out there pitching. You're like, ooh, it's calling
a little tight squeezing these pitchers a little bit, isn't he.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I guess it didn't have to be that dramatic. Matt
supposed a.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Game where Kershaw only needs three strikeouts to hit three thousand,
and it's sold out against the White Sox, and you're
gonna call that's how you're gonna call the game.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Maybe Wolf didn't want to look like a hometown La guy.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Do you see curse though a couple of times on
those strikes? Matt like, yeah, really he was freaking pissed,
and he would have been.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Maybe Wolf was over compensating. Perhaps I can't out inside
the wolf's head.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He's Jack, by the way, he is Jack Swall Jack.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh I hate him?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Then?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh exactly if you're if you're a freaking jacked umpire
of referee, chances are you're an a hole.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Do you know what a hocky lee the Swall Mountain
West guy? Can we can I have one more timpany
for al coming over real High School.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Ramona Shelburn, You're supposed to hit the horns after that
one gave.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh that ain't right.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Come on, guys, you say all their names.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, either way, it was a historic night and part
of the.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Of course, I overcame wolf. He's freaking squeezing him.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And making out with his wife.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Overall, though, the night was very much eclipsed by the
bad Max Munsey injury and Max Munsey is. I mean,
if that guy's coming back this year, I would be
absolutely shocked. I've seen a lot of spinals, dude, and
this cripple walks. Uh, this guy's a gold bricker. No,
(09:22):
what I'm saying is that looked like he blew out.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
His knee and you'll pms pyrhic victory.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They checked it and then immediately just they checked it
and they just said get it. They just got him
up and got him off the field. They didn't say, hey,
try it out. It didn't you know, it felt like
something didn't catch you. You know, when they do the
knee check thing, they check if the ligaments are intact,
you know, just from moving it around, and they just
(09:49):
they just said all right, let's get out of here.
It did not look good. Unfortunately we didn't see it
on TV. Here. Now, we're not going to take calls
about this man, and we're not gonna be.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm happy they did not show it. What happened?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Do you want to take calls about it and hear
the various leagues.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know if I would have wont to see
maybe I see him. Oh, I wish I would not
have seen that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I mean, look, if it was like the guy's leg
in the Louisville Final four game when Patino was there
where his leg literally like came apart in front of everybody,
compound fracture.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Then I understand completely. But that's not what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And to give you some perspective, the White Sox television
feed showed it. Oh that's what you watch the highlight shows. Now,
I watched Dodgers last night, but the highlight shows showed it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Uh. The Dodger postgame showed it. So the broadcast quite
strange that it didn't get shown mid game. To try
to get an idea.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They made a mistake. You have to you have to
show the picture that you have unless it's off the charts.
Gruesome or illegal, you know, like a guy running on
the field. Nate, you show it, and that's your job
is to show it. So that was a little disappointing
and obviously very disappointing to see Munsey go down. And
(11:10):
not that I'm naming names, but didn't. Didn't Will Smith
get Max Munsey's elbow knocked off a few years back?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Whose elbow was it at first base that he got?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Was it? No?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It was was it Key k Was it? Who was
it that got?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Was it a Bellinger? Max Munsey? Was Munsey's elbow couldn't
play in the postseason?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, that's what he just said. Who am I thinking of?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
That?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Got that Bellinger? Got his elbow all fed up trying
to kick anyway?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And that was a high five. I believe that was
a home run high five with Corey Seeger. I believe,
but I could be wrong, but yeah, it was. I
don't remember the elbow.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Will Smith threw a hospital ball over the first base
when Max Munsey was on first base. It knocked his
elbow off. It wasn't a great throw and I don't know,
I mean, I guess Munsey can't have his leg there
I'm not a baseball expert in that way, but this
is the second time that Max Munsey has been seriously injured,
it seems by catching a ball from Will Smith in
(12:10):
a base running situation. So that is something just to
be noted in the situation. But what year was that, Tim?
Do you remember? That was four years ago? Three years ago?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Something like that?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, so interesting and sad that the night kind of
has that blemish. And what do the Dodgers do going forward?
How does it all shake out? I believe Dave Roberts
is speaking at what time.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Five o'clock he's supposed to talk to about.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
October third, twenty twenty one, was months he hurt. Unlikely
for a wild card game.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It was like the last weekend of the regular season.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, it was the they entered site. Was the game
that would have decided whether or not they and the
Giants had to play for the division. Oh awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So yeah, this has happened before, not so much that
bad of a time of year. But if Moncey hurt
his leg the way it looks like he hurt his leg,
he's not playing again until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
And Kershaw's pitch there goes Taylor for third throw down
by Smith a little.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Bit highe he got him on the helmet, He tagged
him out.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Monsey's hurt. He is hurt. He jammed the glove hand
into the tag.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
And Dave Roberts, along with Thomas Albert, Dodgers trainer, sprinting
from the third base dugout. Mounsey is laying on his
right side facing the dugout and Michael Taylor is also down.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's being tended to by the White Sox twenty staff.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Both players being tended to right now, and it looked
like Munsey got him on the helmet and the third
base umpire allan porter calling Taylor out.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
See even Tim and Rick last night, they don't have
a replay to go to.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No. Yeah, they think it's his hand.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
At their angle, they couldn't see that, you know, his
knee kind of buckled. It's just out of their view
and they look at the monitor and there's nothing there.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It was the wrong decision by by the production truck
to not show the replay because you have so many options.
Like you just heard, he was down on the ground
for a while, so you have plenty of time. I
know you're sitting on History and everybody's butthole is twitching
because you're trying to do the Kershaw thing perfectly. And
I thought, like you mentioned right when we started, Matt,
(14:29):
it happened pretty fast after that next pitch, right, yeah,
And they did handle it really well and it was
a beautiful moment. But they have different angles that they
don't have to use the close up angle that somebody
doesn't like. They can use a different angle that's a
little further away. They can help out all the radio
(14:50):
people like Kate's just said that are calling it and
show everybody what happened. They made me think that, wow,
his kneecap must have flown off and hit me. Mary
Hart or something, who I don't believe was there. Somebody
was in her seats, which I was shocked that Mary
Hart wouldn't be in the house. Even the Duke of
Sports and I believe Ronnie. Everybody was in the house.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, and a party bus that shuttled KFI personnel Ver
Stufucia's birthday to the Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Was that real or are they just trolling us?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I thought that someone said that they were leaving early
to hit the I don't know, I don't know if
they're trolling or if if that's the group that went.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'd like a little help from Tim Cage.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I don't know what's real anymore, Guys that the line
has been blur?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
What is reel?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
What is?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I had no idea for a year, like the unfrozen
Caveman lawyer.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I mean you, I don't even know. I just want
to run into the hills.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
You know, you're you're waiting for pictures and then you know,
you get in text from people like hey, the party boss.
I don't know what's real anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I got nothing, Matt, I got.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I just assumed that. Uh. There were a series of
statements made that suggested KFI had the Sweet last night.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Well, I wonder how they handled the Max Munsey injury
and how they felt in the moment if there was
a somber and sober atmosphere after months he went down.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I'll tell you how they handled it. Sweet two twenty
five dessert carts here, let's go.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, give me the pride cake.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Love that thing.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I was served the pride cake for your birthday on
my birthday. Beautiful.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Now I want to thank Matt money Smith on what
was a night in the suite that I'd rather forget
Matts beautiful moment. Yeah, well, yeah, well, Matt made sure
that he cut the Pride cake for me. He got it.
I mean, I don't know how much it is, like
thirty bucks for a slice of Pride cake with the rainbow,
(16:52):
and of course twice that. Now that it's over, now
that the Pride month is over, I don't know if
the price changes.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Or it's just gray. It's just a dull gray cake
with white frosting.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Just like just like in a black and white movie
a bakery. Uh No, it was really wonderful. From my birthday.
Matt was able to behind the scenes procure a very
coveted and expensive slice of the rainbow Pride cake.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Don't forget the lighter, which was hard to track down.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
But not easy to find a lighter in Dodger State.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The lighter got a candle and both your kids surrounding
your singing happy birthday, my kids.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
And you know a lot of the friends of the
promotional people and the Pride cake, and they were I
did hear one guy lean into another guy's ear and
be like, I didn't know he was gay? Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It was.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
It was really a beautiful moment. And I don't know
if that's what was going on last night when Munsey
went down, but but it really is the story today
and what.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Rough days from Munsey. By the way, remember earlier Machado
was an bounced is the all star starter over Monsie?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Right, that was just eight hours before that, the day
before or the day before that. Mark Grant of the
Padres was like, Muncie's not as good as was Manny Machado.
Let's be honest, come on, seriously, come on, you know
the guy's on a roll. He's doing good. He still
has people on our texto so calling MBS and once
(18:22):
again he gets in the way and with a Will
Smith throwing it to him. Last time it was his elbow.
This time his leg gets blown off.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Manny Machado is a better third baseman than Max Montson.
All right, please please sole Skan said get.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Out and vote.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Thank you get his leading. I'm Mark Grant and I
approved this message.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I bet you feel like crap about that now, Mark Brant.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Hey mud that statement was mud. So that was but
bys guy's got no n e noo please uh. It
was Kik and Bellinger with the high five shoulder blow.
I'm not different with the details.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well that's okay. You know, we don't have a job
that requires it.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
But you give me that Google and I could pull
it up right away. Oh got it.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, Bush, Matt didn't used to use Google, used to
use Bing.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm a bing guy. And now I found out that
Bing just used the search engine of Google. And it's like, well,
that doesn't seem like it said. It's a different search
engine than is it.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Bush?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
What caates Bush?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
How about Kershaw? Postgame last night, all the celebration, all
the great questions and answers, and you know, just showering
praise to his teammates over the years. Current and passed,
and then somebody asked him about the guy stealing third
At how months he's doing. He goes, yeah, I'm not
really sure why that guy's trying to steal third of
that situation.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
But you know, they didn't even pour out any champagne
for months. He's lag that's Bush. Massa will have the
latest in the next segment.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, why you're stealing third, dude, You're sixty games out
of first place. Well, I mean right, that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, but it's still playing baseball.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I mean, it's still not nearly as egregious as squeezing
Clayton Kershaw and he needs three strikeouts for three thousand
at Dodger Stadium in front of a sold out crowd
as a Greater Los Angeles native, that's still the more
egregious era of the evening.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You have the opportunity. It's like knowing somebody that's going
to interview the president.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't want to put.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
You have the opportunity to lobby.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I don't have the opportunity to position.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
You're gonna lobby your case.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's up to Dave. I don't want to Dan.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
If you know Dave Matt, Dave's not gonna be Dave's very,
very secure in his baseball identity. He's not gonna be swayed.
Maybe years ago he would have been, but not now.
He will not be swayed. I think you can try
to lobby him. You could take him to the old
Ebbitt's grill and get him an old fashion and a hooker.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You know what has to happen tonight, Dad, when you
sit down with Jim Wolf, you gotta say, what the
hell were you thinking? What the hell were you thinking?
Squeezing that strike zone on of all nights last night?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
What about who do you think you are?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah? Do you do you think you're bigger than Clayton Kershawn?
Three thousand strikeouts in front of fifty four thousand people?
You think you're bigger than that? Jim, I didn't know
you were going to manger. You must have, Jim of
all strike zone.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I did not think that I was going to come
to work today and just see you all flamed up
about the Oh I was hot, man, I was hot
last night, just like Core. A bunch of lighter fluid
in your hair and lights your hair.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
A couple of those freaking balls that were called first
pitch balls. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me with
this guy. I can't believe it, can believe it?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Please?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I was told it was not kfi that. Yes, I
have once again fallen for the sarcasm and snark of
who was in the Who was he said it was
no state, He said it was a it was a partner.
It was you know, an advertiser night.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Oh Bush. We should have been there, man, the witness history,
and don't think it wouldn't have been a somber mood.
We wouldn't have been eating the pride cake when Munsey
went down. We would have been at the show.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
The replay.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, there some liquor all over the carpet for Mudsi.

own Dodger reporter on AM FI, seventy l I, Sports Spectrum,
Sportsnet LA and MLB Network. It is David Mass Say,
like Matt said, brought to you by Service Titan. Dave,
what's the mood like out there today after such a
wild night last night?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Well, the pitching rubber brand new pitching rubbers in the
mound now because the great ground screw last night dug
it up for Clayton Kershaw. I haven't seen that since
Jake Arieta threw a no hitter here back in twenty
fifteen at Dodger Stadium on Sunday Night Baseball. So they
did that for Kershaw. And it kind of feels like
(24:42):
the calm after the storm. It feels like another game
in July against the worst team in the American League,
compared to last night, where it felt like a playoff
game last night with a sellout crowd, with them hanging
on every pitch, with them trying to will Kershaw to
his third strikeout. That's the way it felt last night.
(25:02):
And tonight, you know, it just feels like another nice
day at the Ballpark in July.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Dave, how much leeway do you think he had? Was
he going to Was Dave Roberts gonna leave him in
there until he took himself out.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Without a doubt?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Matt.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
I know, after the game, Dave Roberts is like, that
was his last hitter? Really, one strikeout away at home?
You're going to take him out at one hundred pitches.
There was no way Kershaw was leaving the Mountain last
night without that third strikeout. In my opinion, they could
say whatever they want right now, but I mean, that's
why he was here. That's why they pulled them a
(25:38):
little bit early in Denver. Are you telling me they
were going to allow Kershaw to come out, no matter
what the situation was and have him record that one
strikeout in Milwaukee in front of twenty thousand fans. I
just don't see that happening.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Did you see anything behind the scenes or back there
in the clubhouse that stood out to you that you
didn't see on TV as far as Kershaw and his
interactions during the celebration.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yeah, you know, while I was doing Dodger Talk last
night until midnight, Kershaw did something that I've never seen
him do. He did a few things last night that
I've never seen him do. Number One, when he first
came out to warm up, the fans that were in
their seats gave him a standing ovation. I would say
there were at least thirty thousand fans in their seats
when he went out there about forty minutes before first pitch.
(26:30):
And something that he has never done in is acknowledged
the fans pregame as he's going out for his warm
ups playoffs, all Stars, never has done it. Last night,
he did, and that's what tipped me off to the
fact that maybe he was too aware of what was
going on last night. And he admitted after the game
he was chasing three strikeouts which made him not as effective.
(26:55):
After the game, I saw video on the Dodgers' Instagram
that Kershaw gave a toast to his teammates and said
it means nothing if you can't share it with your teammates.
And then after the game, like I said, doing Dodger
talk until midnight, Kershaw put on a brand new white
Dodger uniform to come out here and take photos with
his family. That's not something I've ever seen before. And
(27:18):
them digging up the rubber here. I mean, that was
something I had only seen once before. So it was
obviously not only a one night celebration of Kershaw, but
last night it felt like an eighteen year career celebration
of a guy that has meant so much to this franchise.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Petros just shared with me in the last segment, Dave,
who your guest is going to be tonight? So I
don't want to put you in a weird spot, but
I was cursing the TV at how tight that strike
zone was. I was like, who the hell does this
guy think he is squeezing the strike zone on this
freaking night of all nights, to not be aware that
you're calling stroke's balls instead of strikes, freaking strikes. I
(28:03):
not even expanded, just call a strike a strike instead
of squeezing it. Did you feel like the strike zone
was squeezed?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
I felt like it wasn't Jim Wolfe's best night. But
Jim wolf I've talked to so many pitchers and I've
interviewed Jim before games because he is from my area.
We shared the same high school for one year, El
Camino High School in West Hills. His brother's Randy, who
was teammates with Kershaw in two thousand and nine, so
he also probably was very aware and maybe that affected things.
(28:34):
Maybe he was trying to go the other way and
not trusting his eyes because he didn't want it to
seem that he was giving Kershaw anything. And you know
that was a borderline pitch on strike three in the
sixth inning. And I think that's what you're alluding to.
Maybe those borderline pitches give them the Kershaw. Well, the
(28:54):
human side of it is maybe he was aware and
too aware like Kershaw, and didn't want it to the
scene that he was gifting strikeouts to Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Wow, very diplomatically, very diplomatic. Geez, that was wow. Well Dot,
I can't wait to.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Like Steven Nelson right there going after an umpire.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You know what I said.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
The last there were two first pick strikes you called balls,
and the next pitch the freaking guys rope shots to
right field strike.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
All right, we got you, we got you, Nelly, Geez.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
On my anger.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Jim Wolf, I never heard money go after ed hockey
lee like this stupid biceps. He doesn't like the swollen guys,
I guess, and he is pretty strong.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Jim Wolf is pretty swow.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I can't wait to hear the interview now on Morongo
Casino Dodgers on Deck, when Tim Kaine's David mas Say
will interview last night's umpire, a controversial figure here in
the afternoon on the Petroson Money Show, not just because
of his muscles.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Uh if you're ripping poor Jim Wolf while he's stopping
at Dan Super Up, you know, relaxing on his way in.
I mean, the West family in West Hills is going
to be really upset with this show.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
The love.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
They love the show too. They listen religiously, the family.
They just couldn't believe to hear it. Dave. Obviously, the
worst part of the night could be very, very bad
for the Dodgers year. Is Max Munsey going down. And
I know that Dave Roberts isn't going to speak until five,
but I can't imagine that the prognosis is good. Working
(30:31):
in sports and playing as long as I did and
seeing a bunch of people injure their knees, how much
did that kind of taint things? Because it certainly was
really and it happened right bang bang, And what's the
latest on that? If you can glean anything right now.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah, right now, we haven't even been allowed inside the
Dodger clubhouse. Once I hang up with you, I'll be
going inside there to see if Munsey has emerged to
a scheduled to have an MR today. But you're right, Pet,
I mean, at the very least, I feel like we
can all expect Max Munsey not to be playing until
after the All Star break at the very least. And
(31:08):
how long after until he returns is still something that
remains to be seen. But certainly it didn't look good.
At the very least, it's going to keep him out
for more than just fifteen days. If I had to
play doctor on the radio.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Well, is there any you know with the trade deadline
upon us, Dave? I know we'll have to wait to
hear what the ultimate result is from the MRI, But
do you think that changes what they do at the deadline.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
I don't believe so. If it's something where you know
a team has an available third, this is all contingent
on how long months he's out. But for the short term,
even for six weeks, let's say they got two guys
that can hold it down in Rojas and Keik Hernandez.
And also the fact that they got a pretty good
young player in Triple A Alex Freeland that can play
(31:57):
third base. I'm waiting for Freeland to get the call
if necessary.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Where's Freeland from?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
He's from the swamps. He's a swamped rat. He's a
baseball rat. He's a guy popular teammates. Is a guy
that's just an incredible person, an incredible story. He actually
was born with a clubbed right foot and wears a
brace to keep that in order. And he's very open
(32:25):
about it. He's not trying to hide it. You could
go up to him and ask him about his club
foot and he'll be very open about it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Dude, Freeland, Gee, I don't know what's gonna happen with
months even I want to see this freedom gain right,
not the one here.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
A great guy, great guy. He's a baseball rat name,
but he's a guy that you would want. He's not
going to be a Hall of Famer or a ten
time All Star, but he's a guy that you would
want on your team, and he'll be here eventually. Who knows,
Maybe this this makes it happen sooner.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
His club foot has been mentioned on the Farm report.
I've been made aware night is not just anime night
at Dodger Stadium that the proprietor of the Farm Report
told me as well, it's one Piece Night, which is
a very popular anime with like a guy with like
a funny hat with like the skull and crossbones on it,
(33:17):
and then the skull and Crossbones wears the funny hat
that he wears. Anyway, are you aware of one piece?
And how much of a how much of a to
do is that? I saw a line?
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Well, number one, I was not aware of any of
anything that you just described to me. Number two, what
does it mean to me? I don't know, Petros. How
much is it worth to you? That's my question?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Well, I do kind of like one Piece.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
It's a pretty cool high.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Will you go? Can we get a bidding war going
between you and Kate's and calling you no?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
After Ronnie Fossil last night didn't even get a bobblehead?
Speaker 6 (33:57):
You know, ron I will bring Ronnie Fazio a Yamamoto bobblehead. Yeah, yeah, David,
poor little Joseph and have to give it to Ronnie.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, just take his little hands, can hold his little hands,
can't hold it tightly.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Enough, Joseph's or yamamotos.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yamamoto doesn't play quarterback. Don't worry. He doesn't need to
have big hands. But bad news about Muncie, there's no
doubt about it. Great news about one piece, right, Dave.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
One hundred could be even better news if I could
get a bidding war going between you jackals back there
in the Burbank studio.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I didn't say I wanted the hat.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
I'm just you were fishing.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
It's a big deal, Dave.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
They're giving away forty thousand people are going to be
clamoring for that straw hat with the red striper, the
red piece of fabric on it. It's going to be
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
There's a long lot play this way.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
I can be bought. I can be bought.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
In that way forever.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
All right, Well, have fun with Jim Wolf and have
fun tonight.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
And I'll send uh Stephen Nelson and Matt Muney Smith's
warm regards to my guy from the grade one eighth.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, and we will mon to squeeze in the strike
zone Wolf of all the freaking nights.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Monitor. We're gonna monitor this situation when it comes to
the monthsI announcement or any kind of update on his left.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
I'll let you guys know, I'm going in right now.
I'll let you know.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Thank you, Dave, and we'll be back with more great
sports talk, more from last night's fanfare. I thought Dave
handled that pretty well, Matt, Yes, he did. He could
have tried to fight down Warren crime like Ben mallor Well.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
I think he recognizes that Jim was squeezing the strike
zone last night, and uh is somebody as a relationship
with and likes a lot, and that's what you typically do,
right Hey, great guy, not his best night.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
You think Nelson heard that was like, what's going on? Man?
Why would you do that to me? Dave?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah, I think he might. I think he might have.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Do you think we could put some salve on that
wound by saying I thought he did a great job
laying out and letting a transactions on the field tell
the story.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I don't feel like Stephen led to my anger. I
feel like it was uh yeah, those seeds were planted
and harvested by me and me alone.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I'm not saying that you were influenced by his emotional
call about balls and strikes. I'm just saying that you
felt similarly emotionally about the balls and stripes parallel.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I don't like it emotional, man, I like to keep
it right in the middle.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I know, Matt, you're an oak.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
I want. I wanted to fade away to a pleasant slumber,
and instead my blood was boiling.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I have to say, you know, if I was ever
in a situation where I was in a town and
people weren't allowed to dance and I needed somebody to
represent me and the rest of my friends and student
body to the local oppressive church, I'd choose you.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Oh, thank you. They can't hold us down. We got
to dance.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
And I could see that being a lot of pressure
on you, so much pressure to where you drive to
like an abandoned factory and your bug. Oh you go
to put a tape in the deck and just start
dancing your ass off. I would dance my ass off.
It looked like a workout. I can see sprinting and
doing hurdly and.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
The sprinting and the high knees with the sprinting. It's
kind of leader. I believe you to be, Matt. I
appreciate that We'll be right back with.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Some more fanfare from last night.

out bertzberger'shb dot com. Visit him on Main Street, Huntington Beach.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
All right, Matt, we did forget one thing. One thing
was painfully absent last night other than Max Munsey's leg
after Kershaw's big moment. And it was Kershaw's bff from
middle school, the cornerback to his center, the catcher to
(39:06):
his pitcher, Ram cornerback, Matt Stafford and his beautiful wife Kelly.
Where was Matt Stafford. Well, he was somewhere in Hawaii
on a trip, and he made a grainy video that
had no service, I mean, the grainiest video message.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Oh yeah, Well they were teammates. You know, they went
to the same high school.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah, you know. Well here here's the grainy very Tim
Kates was able to get hold of somebody out in
Honolulu and intercept this very grainy message, World War two
style and bring it to the people here.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
I always knew Clayton was going to be special, not
because of the stuff that he had, but the way
that he competed. I think you still see that to
this day. Obviously he's competing for the end of his career,
but he's also competing every time he goes and touches
the mound grabs his baseball. So he's one of the
few guys I feel like at the pitcher was where
when he goes out there, he knows he's got the
whole team on his back. He's had that since he
(40:04):
was a kid. I was lucky enough to play catcher
for him for a long time and see that attitude
and that grit out there on the mound. So so
proud of him, so proud of his career. Awesome to
be able to, you know, watch him do his thing
for so long. I know, as a Dodger fan, as
a Clayton fan, I speak for everybody and just say
congratulations and how you know an amazing accomplishment. Is really
proud of him.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Kelly Stafford then went on for thirty seconds about a
waxing incident that she did when she was trying to
self groom.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah, I saw that she needs to know. Well, whatever,
talk about what you want to talk about on your
own podcast that's up there.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Yeah right, Matt, freedom of speech every time.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Exactly right.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I do have a few text us.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Fine, brought to you by your so cal Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Idiot Stephen Nelson isn't listening to the show. He's too
busy telling Twitter trolls to pound said because they didn't
like what he said last night.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
Poor guy couldn't win last night. He laid out led
the anything, Well, you just shut.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Up, just leave the just don't don't engage. You know,
I mean, you have a great job. No one's gonna
everybody likes you. You don't have to fight with people
on Twitter. Hey, pe. You know what was the best
part of last night's game, Yes, Kershaw getting three thousand
and Freddie pulling off another walk off but now realizing
(41:28):
Money was squeezing his butt cheeks and yelling at his
TV at the top of his lungs while umpire Wolf
he was making the valley proud and pissing fifty thousand
plus off in the stands.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, sounds like a shot at me, I think, yeah, Well,
I think yeah, he liked the fact that he's upsetting
Dodger fans. That's a that's an odd stance to take,
because he said pissing fifty thousand off as well.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Yeah, Like Wolfe was in there like, hey, you're gonna
have to earn it tonight fifty thousand plus If Stafford's
not coming from Hawaii, I'm calling this thing tight.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Petros had been taking it back to soup bands all right,
wolf Oh wow, soups.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Was the best Petres. I've been catching up on the
podcast for weeks and so far you've mentioned James Elroy,
your inability to function without your Apple Watch, and Lancaster.
You guys have hit three squares on my unique stubby
legged white guy that lives in Lancaster and has terrible
(42:34):
OCD and likes crime fiction bingo card. Next thing, I
know you're gonna be talking about ewalks and an inexplainable
attraction to Mary Poppins Man.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Wow, freakout, freakout.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Well, look, we're all men of a certain age. You know,
I'm the only one that knows. One piece apparently one
piece night at Dodger Stadium tonight. Tim Kates thought it
was a one piece bathing suit they're giving away. That
is not the case.
Speaker 5 (43:03):

Speaker 4 (43:03):
You see the lines now man on Twitter. It's unbelievable.

I'm telling you, one piece nautical theme. The guy stretches
out real far. He can stretch and kick.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Like a one piece bathing suit on a fat lady.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yes, just to clarify the hat that they're giving aways
for the first forty thousand fans. The special card that
the creator drew just for tonight is until it's given away.
I didn't see how many of the actually made, so
it could be like a ten lie.

he's not gonna make an essay. Ain't not gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Full Like, I don't I avoid the Twitter these days
a little bit, but I was tempted to because this
is so important, right, I mean, if I'm willing to
tweet something, you know it has to be serious.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well without it that without saying even though you just
said it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But it's like, if you're Jim Wolf, either you're the
dumbest umpire in the history of baseball or you are
such a colossal, not even a meglomaniac that you have
made this night about you. How are you going to
squeeze Clayton Kershaw when there's fifty five thousand people packed
(02:36):
into Dodger Stadium to see him get three strikeouts? How
the hell have you decided you're gonna call a tight
freaking game and you're gonna squeeze this guy on this
particular night with that many people there against a dog
crap team like the White Sox. You've decided, Oh yeah,
I'm gonna give these hitters a chance to take advantage
(02:57):
of this that strikes on that idiot decide I had
to call that night.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You were gonna go Steven Nelson and attack Jim Wolf. Yes,
last night's home played umpire. He is and is somebody
there to get the timpany? Both Matt and I were too.
Bitch made two deal, the five, the the one Ted.

(04:12):
aren't you glad you didn't send that tweet? Matt?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yes, although what I and I understand, Dave is now
gonna have to tip. But like, what are you doing, Jim?
What truly? What kind of a colossal idiot do you
have to be to have a tight strike zone last night?
And this makes it even worse, you saying that that
he's an Elshi, that this is this.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Is just because he's from just because he's from the
valley means he's supposed to give Kershaw a big hot
dog in a hallway berth.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No, he's not supposed to give it to He's not
supposed to give that to Kershaw. What he's supposed to
do is say, hey, you know what, for both Burke
and Kershaw, I'm gonna call it a little I'm gonna
call it little. Why tonight you know, hitters Hitter's gonna
have to to expand their strike zone a little bit
because it's fifty five thousand here in Chavez Ravine at
(05:04):
Dodger Stadium, and I'm gonna I'm gonna do what an
umpire has the authority because we don't have robot umps
yet to do. And you know what a robot op
would have been better. I'm going to expand the strike
zone for both guys. That's all you do. It's just
you said that. That's all the players say they want.
They just want it to be consistent, to be called
the same way for both teams, for both pitcher or
(05:25):
for every picture on both sides.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Your takeaway from last night was Jim Wolf your quote
unquote idiot. Yes, El Cabino High School Royal. That was
your takeaway that he almost ruined the night for everybody involved.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yes, when you said that that, you know, when you asked, hey,
were you starting to stay? Yeah, I was like, this
is insanity. Those first pitch tho. She had back to
back hits on guys that he clearly threw a first
pitch strike and they were called balls in the very
next pitch as he's trying to make it one and
one instead of two and oh. Those Balls, get Rope.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
For its and serious. El Camino Real High School Royals.
Unbelievable list of notable alums, is that right? Yeah? Well,
including friend of the show Bill Zapka from The Karate Kid,
Johnny Lawrence, Jim Wolf, major league umpire. I don't know
(06:26):
if you've ever heard of him, Randy Wolf nicknamed Wolfy,
Jim's brother, major League Baseball pitcher with the Phillies, Dodgers,
Padres Houston Astros.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Where do you go to college?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Man? Yep, that's his brother.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's his brother.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Jesse James Hollywood, convicted murderer portrayed by Emil Hirsch in
the movie Alpha Dog.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
A little more of an infamous as opposed to famous.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
There the guy from Bad Religion, the bassist Jay Bent.
I mean, we're talking about it. Who's who? Jamal Anderson,
the Dirty Bird running back and now we might have
ruined a relationship with the whole school.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes, Tim, I'm not gonna go as far as Matt went,
but I can kind of see where Matt was going
because last night I was sitting at home watching the
game and he was squeezing him early, and I said,
come on, Wolfy, come on, loosening up a little bit,
big guy, listen, loosen up.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And again, Kate's that's what you would say in a
regular season game number fifty two, that the Dodgers having
open dryers out there pitching. You're like, ooh, it's calling
a little tight squeezing these pitchers a little bit, isn't he.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I guess it didn't have to be that dramatic. Matt
supposed a.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Game where Kershaw only needs three strikeouts to hit three thousand,
and it's sold out against the White Sox, and you're
gonna call that's how you're gonna call the game.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Maybe Wolf didn't want to look like a hometown La guy.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Do you see curse though a couple of times on
those strikes? Matt like, yeah, really he was freaking pissed,
and he would have been.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Maybe Wolf was over compensating. Perhaps I can't out inside
the wolf's head.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He's Jack, by the way, he is Jack Swall Jack.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh I hate him?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Then?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh exactly if you're if you're a freaking jacked umpire
of referee, chances are you're an a hole.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Do you know what a hocky lee the Swall Mountain
West guy? Can we can I have one more timpany
for al coming over real High School.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Ramona Shelburn, You're supposed to hit the horns after that
one gave.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh that ain't right.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Come on, guys, you say all their names.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, either way, it was a historic night and part
of the.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Of course, I overcame wolf. He's freaking squeezing him.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And making out with his wife.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Overall, though, the night was very much eclipsed by the
bad Max Munsey injury and Max Munsey is. I mean,
if that guy's coming back this year, I would be
absolutely shocked. I've seen a lot of spinals, dude, and
this cripple walks. Uh, this guy's a gold bricker. No,
(09:22):
what I'm saying is that looked like he blew out.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
His knee and you'll pms pyrhic victory.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They checked it and then immediately just they checked it
and they just said get it. They just got him
up and got him off the field. They didn't say, hey,
try it out. It didn't you know, it felt like
something didn't catch you. You know, when they do the
knee check thing, they check if the ligaments are intact,
you know, just from moving it around, and they just
(09:49):
they just said all right, let's get out of here.
It did not look good. Unfortunately we didn't see it
on TV. Here. Now, we're not going to take calls
about this man, and we're not gonna be.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm happy they did not show it. What happened?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Do you want to take calls about it and hear
the various leagues.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know if I would have wont to see
maybe I see him. Oh, I wish I would not
have seen that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I mean, look, if it was like the guy's leg
in the Louisville Final four game when Patino was there
where his leg literally like came apart in front of everybody,
compound fracture.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Then I understand completely. But that's not what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And to give you some perspective, the White Sox television
feed showed it. Oh that's what you watch the highlight shows. Now,
I watched Dodgers last night, but the highlight shows showed it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Uh. The Dodger postgame showed it. So the broadcast quite
strange that it didn't get shown mid game. To try
to get an idea.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They made a mistake. You have to you have to
show the picture that you have unless it's off the charts.
Gruesome or illegal, you know, like a guy running on
the field. Nate, you show it, and that's your job
is to show it. So that was a little disappointing
and obviously very disappointing to see Munsey go down. And
(11:10):
not that I'm naming names, but didn't. Didn't Will Smith
get Max Munsey's elbow knocked off a few years back?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Whose elbow was it at first base that he got?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Was it? No?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It was was it Key k Was it? Who was
it that got?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Was it a Bellinger? Max Munsey? Was Munsey's elbow couldn't
play in the postseason?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, that's what he just said. Who am I thinking of?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
That?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Got that Bellinger? Got his elbow all fed up trying
to kick anyway?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And that was a high five. I believe that was
a home run high five with Corey Seeger. I believe,
but I could be wrong, but yeah, it was. I
don't remember the elbow.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Will Smith threw a hospital ball over the first base
when Max Munsey was on first base. It knocked his
elbow off. It wasn't a great throw and I don't know,
I mean, I guess Munsey can't have his leg there
I'm not a baseball expert in that way, but this
is the second time that Max Munsey has been seriously injured,
it seems by catching a ball from Will Smith in
(12:10):
a base running situation. So that is something just to
be noted in the situation. But what year was that, Tim?
Do you remember? That was four years ago? Three years ago?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Something like that?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, so interesting and sad that the night kind of
has that blemish. And what do the Dodgers do going forward?
How does it all shake out? I believe Dave Roberts
is speaking at what time.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Five o'clock he's supposed to talk to about.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
October third, twenty twenty one, was months he hurt. Unlikely
for a wild card game.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It was like the last weekend of the regular season.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, it was the they entered site. Was the game
that would have decided whether or not they and the
Giants had to play for the division. Oh awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So yeah, this has happened before, not so much that
bad of a time of year. But if Moncey hurt
his leg the way it looks like he hurt his leg,
he's not playing again until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
And Kershaw's pitch there goes Taylor for third throw down
by Smith a little.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Bit highe he got him on the helmet, He tagged
him out.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Monsey's hurt. He is hurt. He jammed the glove hand
into the tag.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
And Dave Roberts, along with Thomas Albert, Dodgers trainer, sprinting
from the third base dugout. Mounsey is laying on his
right side facing the dugout and Michael Taylor is also down.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's being tended to by the White Sox twenty staff.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Both players being tended to right now, and it looked
like Munsey got him on the helmet and the third
base umpire allan porter calling Taylor out.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
See even Tim and Rick last night, they don't have
a replay to go to.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No. Yeah, they think it's his hand.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
At their angle, they couldn't see that, you know, his
knee kind of buckled. It's just out of their view
and they look at the monitor and there's nothing there.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It was the wrong decision by by the production truck
to not show the replay because you have so many options.
Like you just heard, he was down on the ground
for a while, so you have plenty of time. I
know you're sitting on History and everybody's butthole is twitching
because you're trying to do the Kershaw thing perfectly. And
I thought, like you mentioned right when we started, Matt,
(14:29):
it happened pretty fast after that next pitch, right, yeah,
And they did handle it really well and it was
a beautiful moment. But they have different angles that they
don't have to use the close up angle that somebody
doesn't like. They can use a different angle that's a
little further away. They can help out all the radio
(14:50):
people like Kate's just said that are calling it and
show everybody what happened. They made me think that, wow,
his kneecap must have flown off and hit me. Mary
Hart or something, who I don't believe was there. Somebody
was in her seats, which I was shocked that Mary
Hart wouldn't be in the house. Even the Duke of
Sports and I believe Ronnie. Everybody was in the house.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, and a party bus that shuttled KFI personnel Ver
Stufucia's birthday to the Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Was that real or are they just trolling us?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I thought that someone said that they were leaving early
to hit the I don't know, I don't know if
they're trolling or if if that's the group that went.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'd like a little help from Tim Cage.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I don't know what's real anymore, Guys that the line
has been blur?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
What is reel?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
What is?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I had no idea for a year, like the unfrozen
Caveman lawyer.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I mean you, I don't even know. I just want
to run into the hills.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
You know, you're you're waiting for pictures and then you know,
you get in text from people like hey, the party boss.
I don't know what's real anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I got nothing, Matt, I got.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I just assumed that. Uh. There were a series of
statements made that suggested KFI had the Sweet last night.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Well, I wonder how they handled the Max Munsey injury
and how they felt in the moment if there was
a somber and sober atmosphere after months he went down.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I'll tell you how they handled it. Sweet two twenty
five dessert carts here, let's go.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, give me the pride cake.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Love that thing.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I was served the pride cake for your birthday on
my birthday. Beautiful.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Now I want to thank Matt money Smith on what
was a night in the suite that I'd rather forget
Matts beautiful moment. Yeah, well, yeah, well, Matt made sure
that he cut the Pride cake for me. He got it.
I mean, I don't know how much it is, like
thirty bucks for a slice of Pride cake with the rainbow,
(16:52):
and of course twice that. Now that it's over, now
that the Pride month is over, I don't know if
the price changes.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Or it's just gray. It's just a dull gray cake
with white frosting.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Just like just like in a black and white movie
a bakery. Uh No, it was really wonderful. From my birthday.
Matt was able to behind the scenes procure a very
coveted and expensive slice of the rainbow Pride cake.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Don't forget the lighter, which was hard to track down.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
But not easy to find a lighter in Dodger State.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The lighter got a candle and both your kids surrounding
your singing happy birthday, my kids.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
And you know a lot of the friends of the
promotional people and the Pride cake, and they were I
did hear one guy lean into another guy's ear and
be like, I didn't know he was gay? Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It was.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
It was really a beautiful moment. And I don't know
if that's what was going on last night when Munsey
went down, but but it really is the story today
and what.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Rough days from Munsey. By the way, remember earlier Machado
was an bounced is the all star starter over Monsie?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Right, that was just eight hours before that, the day
before or the day before that. Mark Grant of the
Padres was like, Muncie's not as good as was Manny Machado.
Let's be honest, come on, seriously, come on, you know
the guy's on a roll. He's doing good. He still
has people on our texto so calling MBS and once
(18:22):
again he gets in the way and with a Will
Smith throwing it to him. Last time it was his elbow.
This time his leg gets blown off.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Manny Machado is a better third baseman than Max Montson.
All right, please please sole Skan said get.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Out and vote.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Thank you get his leading. I'm Mark Grant and I
approved this message.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I bet you feel like crap about that now, Mark Brant.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Hey mud that statement was mud. So that was but
bys guy's got no n e noo please uh. It
was Kik and Bellinger with the high five shoulder blow.
I'm not different with the details.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well that's okay. You know, we don't have a job
that requires it.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
But you give me that Google and I could pull
it up right away. Oh got it.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, Bush, Matt didn't used to use Google, used to
use Bing.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm a bing guy. And now I found out that
Bing just used the search engine of Google. And it's like, well,
that doesn't seem like it said. It's a different search
engine than is it.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Bush?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
What caates Bush?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
How about Kershaw? Postgame last night, all the celebration, all
the great questions and answers, and you know, just showering
praise to his teammates over the years. Current and passed,
and then somebody asked him about the guy stealing third
At how months he's doing. He goes, yeah, I'm not
really sure why that guy's trying to steal third of
that situation.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
But you know, they didn't even pour out any champagne
for months. He's lag that's Bush. Massa will have the
latest in the next segment.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, why you're stealing third, dude, You're sixty games out
of first place. Well, I mean right, that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, but it's still playing baseball.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I mean, it's still not nearly as egregious as squeezing
Clayton Kershaw and he needs three strikeouts for three thousand
at Dodger Stadium in front of a sold out crowd
as a Greater Los Angeles native, that's still the more
egregious era of the evening.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You have the opportunity. It's like knowing somebody that's going
to interview the president.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't want to put.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
You have the opportunity to lobby.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I don't have the opportunity to position.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
You're gonna lobby your case.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's up to Dave. I don't want to Dan.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
If you know Dave Matt, Dave's not gonna be Dave's very,
very secure in his baseball identity. He's not gonna be swayed.
Maybe years ago he would have been, but not now.
He will not be swayed. I think you can try
to lobby him. You could take him to the old
Ebbitt's grill and get him an old fashion and a hooker.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You know what has to happen tonight, Dad, when you
sit down with Jim Wolf, you gotta say, what the
hell were you thinking? What the hell were you thinking?
Squeezing that strike zone on of all nights last night?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
What about who do you think you are?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah? Do you do you think you're bigger than Clayton Kershawn?
Three thousand strikeouts in front of fifty four thousand people?
You think you're bigger than that? Jim, I didn't know
you were going to manger. You must have, Jim of
all strike zone.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I did not think that I was going to come
to work today and just see you all flamed up
about the Oh I was hot, man, I was hot
last night, just like Core. A bunch of lighter fluid
in your hair and lights your hair.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
A couple of those freaking balls that were called first
pitch balls. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me with
this guy. I can't believe it, can believe it?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Please?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I was told it was not kfi that. Yes, I
have once again fallen for the sarcasm and snark of
who was in the Who was he said it was
no state, He said it was a it was a partner.
It was you know, an advertiser night.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Oh Bush. We should have been there, man, the witness history,
and don't think it wouldn't have been a somber mood.
We wouldn't have been eating the pride cake when Munsey
went down. We would have been at the show.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
The replay.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, there some liquor all over the carpet for Mudsi.
Pour one out from Mudsie on a fort Worth, Texas.
Please please, We'll be back with David Vase. He's happy.
Fourth of July. We'll be back on Monday is next

It's time to get out to Dodger Stadium. A little

Always covering everything with class and grace. He is our
own Dodger reporter on AM FI, seventy l I, Sports Spectrum,
Sportsnet LA and MLB Network. It is David Mass Say,
like Matt said, brought to you by Service Titan. Dave,
what's the mood like out there today after such a
wild night last night?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Well, the pitching rubber brand new pitching rubbers in the
mound now because the great ground screw last night dug
it up for Clayton Kershaw. I haven't seen that since
Jake Arieta threw a no hitter here back in twenty
fifteen at Dodger Stadium on Sunday Night Baseball. So they
did that for Kershaw. And it kind of feels like
(24:42):
the calm after the storm. It feels like another game
in July against the worst team in the American League,
compared to last night, where it felt like a playoff
game last night with a sellout crowd, with them hanging
on every pitch, with them trying to will Kershaw to
his third strikeout. That's the way it felt last night.
(25:02):
And tonight, you know, it just feels like another nice
day at the Ballpark in July.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Dave, how much leeway do you think he had? Was
he going to Was Dave Roberts gonna leave him in
there until he took himself out.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Without a doubt?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Matt.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
I know, after the game, Dave Roberts is like, that
was his last hitter? Really, one strikeout away at home?
You're going to take him out at one hundred pitches.
There was no way Kershaw was leaving the Mountain last
night without that third strikeout. In my opinion, they could
say whatever they want right now, but I mean, that's
why he was here. That's why they pulled them a
(25:38):
little bit early in Denver. Are you telling me they
were going to allow Kershaw to come out, no matter
what the situation was and have him record that one
strikeout in Milwaukee in front of twenty thousand fans. I
just don't see that happening.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Did you see anything behind the scenes or back there
in the clubhouse that stood out to you that you
didn't see on TV as far as Kershaw and his
interactions during the celebration.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yeah, you know, while I was doing Dodger Talk last
night until midnight, Kershaw did something that I've never seen
him do. He did a few things last night that
I've never seen him do. Number One, when he first
came out to warm up, the fans that were in
their seats gave him a standing ovation. I would say
there were at least thirty thousand fans in their seats
when he went out there about forty minutes before first pitch.
(26:30):
And something that he has never done in is acknowledged
the fans pregame as he's going out for his warm
ups playoffs, all Stars, never has done it. Last night,
he did, and that's what tipped me off to the
fact that maybe he was too aware of what was
going on last night. And he admitted after the game
he was chasing three strikeouts which made him not as effective.
(26:55):
After the game, I saw video on the Dodgers' Instagram
that Kershaw gave a toast to his teammates and said
it means nothing if you can't share it with your teammates.
And then after the game, like I said, doing Dodger
talk until midnight, Kershaw put on a brand new white
Dodger uniform to come out here and take photos with
his family. That's not something I've ever seen before. And
(27:18):
them digging up the rubber here. I mean, that was
something I had only seen once before. So it was
obviously not only a one night celebration of Kershaw, but
last night it felt like an eighteen year career celebration
of a guy that has meant so much to this franchise.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Petros just shared with me in the last segment, Dave,
who your guest is going to be tonight? So I
don't want to put you in a weird spot, but
I was cursing the TV at how tight that strike
zone was. I was like, who the hell does this
guy think he is squeezing the strike zone on this
freaking night of all nights, to not be aware that
you're calling stroke's balls instead of strikes, freaking strikes. I
(28:03):
not even expanded, just call a strike a strike instead
of squeezing it. Did you feel like the strike zone
was squeezed?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
I felt like it wasn't Jim Wolfe's best night. But
Jim wolf I've talked to so many pitchers and I've
interviewed Jim before games because he is from my area.
We shared the same high school for one year, El
Camino High School in West Hills. His brother's Randy, who
was teammates with Kershaw in two thousand and nine, so
he also probably was very aware and maybe that affected things.
(28:34):
Maybe he was trying to go the other way and
not trusting his eyes because he didn't want it to
seem that he was giving Kershaw anything. And you know
that was a borderline pitch on strike three in the
sixth inning. And I think that's what you're alluding to.
Maybe those borderline pitches give them the Kershaw. Well, the
(28:54):
human side of it is maybe he was aware and
too aware like Kershaw, and didn't want it to the
scene that he was gifting strikeouts to Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Wow, very diplomatically, very diplomatic. Geez, that was wow. Well Dot,
I can't wait to.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Like Steven Nelson right there going after an umpire.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You know what I said.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
The last there were two first pick strikes you called balls,
and the next pitch the freaking guys rope shots to
right field strike.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
All right, we got you, we got you, Nelly, Geez.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
On my anger.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Jim Wolf, I never heard money go after ed hockey
lee like this stupid biceps. He doesn't like the swollen guys,
I guess, and he is pretty strong.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Jim Wolf is pretty swow.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I can't wait to hear the interview now on Morongo
Casino Dodgers on Deck, when Tim Kaine's David mas Say
will interview last night's umpire, a controversial figure here in
the afternoon on the Petroson Money Show, not just because
of his muscles.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Uh if you're ripping poor Jim Wolf while he's stopping
at Dan Super Up, you know, relaxing on his way in.
I mean, the West family in West Hills is going
to be really upset with this show.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
The love.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
They love the show too. They listen religiously, the family.
They just couldn't believe to hear it. Dave. Obviously, the
worst part of the night could be very, very bad
for the Dodgers year. Is Max Munsey going down. And
I know that Dave Roberts isn't going to speak until five,
but I can't imagine that the prognosis is good. Working
(30:31):
in sports and playing as long as I did and
seeing a bunch of people injure their knees, how much
did that kind of taint things? Because it certainly was
really and it happened right bang bang, And what's the
latest on that? If you can glean anything right now.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah, right now, we haven't even been allowed inside the
Dodger clubhouse. Once I hang up with you, I'll be
going inside there to see if Munsey has emerged to
a scheduled to have an MR today. But you're right, Pet,
I mean, at the very least, I feel like we
can all expect Max Munsey not to be playing until
after the All Star break at the very least. And
(31:08):
how long after until he returns is still something that
remains to be seen. But certainly it didn't look good.
At the very least, it's going to keep him out
for more than just fifteen days. If I had to
play doctor on the radio.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Well, is there any you know with the trade deadline
upon us, Dave? I know we'll have to wait to
hear what the ultimate result is from the MRI, But
do you think that changes what they do at the deadline.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
I don't believe so. If it's something where you know
a team has an available third, this is all contingent
on how long months he's out. But for the short term,
even for six weeks, let's say they got two guys
that can hold it down in Rojas and Keik Hernandez.
And also the fact that they got a pretty good
young player in Triple A Alex Freeland that can play
(31:57):
third base. I'm waiting for Freeland to get the call
if necessary.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Where's Freeland from?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
He's from the swamps. He's a swamped rat. He's a
baseball rat. He's a guy popular teammates. Is a guy
that's just an incredible person, an incredible story. He actually
was born with a clubbed right foot and wears a
brace to keep that in order. And he's very open
(32:25):
about it. He's not trying to hide it. You could
go up to him and ask him about his club
foot and he'll be very open about it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Dude, Freeland, Gee, I don't know what's gonna happen with
months even I want to see this freedom gain right,
not the one here.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
A great guy, great guy. He's a baseball rat name,
but he's a guy that you would want. He's not
going to be a Hall of Famer or a ten
time All Star, but he's a guy that you would
want on your team, and he'll be here eventually. Who knows,
Maybe this this makes it happen sooner.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
His club foot has been mentioned on the Farm report.
I've been made aware night is not just anime night
at Dodger Stadium that the proprietor of the Farm Report
told me as well, it's one Piece Night, which is
a very popular anime with like a guy with like
a funny hat with like the skull and crossbones on it,
(33:17):
and then the skull and Crossbones wears the funny hat
that he wears. Anyway, are you aware of one piece?
And how much of a how much of a to
do is that? I saw a line?
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Well, number one, I was not aware of any of
anything that you just described to me. Number two, what
does it mean to me? I don't know, Petros. How
much is it worth to you? That's my question?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Well, I do kind of like one Piece.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
It's a pretty cool high.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Will you go? Can we get a bidding war going
between you and Kate's and calling you no?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
After Ronnie Fossil last night didn't even get a bobblehead?
Speaker 6 (33:57):
You know, ron I will bring Ronnie Fazio a Yamamoto bobblehead. Yeah, yeah, David,
poor little Joseph and have to give it to Ronnie.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, just take his little hands, can hold his little hands,
can't hold it tightly.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Enough, Joseph's or yamamotos.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yamamoto doesn't play quarterback. Don't worry. He doesn't need to
have big hands. But bad news about Muncie, there's no
doubt about it. Great news about one piece, right, Dave.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
One hundred could be even better news if I could
get a bidding war going between you jackals back there
in the Burbank studio.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I didn't say I wanted the hat.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
I'm just you were fishing.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
It's a big deal, Dave.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
They're giving away forty thousand people are going to be
clamoring for that straw hat with the red striper, the
red piece of fabric on it. It's going to be
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
There's a long lot play this way.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
I can be bought. I can be bought.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
In that way forever.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
All right, Well, have fun with Jim Wolf and have
fun tonight.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
And I'll send uh Stephen Nelson and Matt Muney Smith's
warm regards to my guy from the grade one eighth.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, and we will mon to squeeze in the strike
zone Wolf of all the freaking nights.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Monitor. We're gonna monitor this situation when it comes to
the monthsI announcement or any kind of update on his left.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
I'll let you guys know, I'm going in right now.
I'll let you know.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Thank you, Dave, and we'll be back with more great
sports talk, more from last night's fanfare. I thought Dave
handled that pretty well, Matt, Yes, he did. He could
have tried to fight down Warren crime like Ben mallor Well.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
I think he recognizes that Jim was squeezing the strike
zone last night, and uh is somebody as a relationship
with and likes a lot, and that's what you typically do,
right Hey, great guy, not his best night.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
You think Nelson heard that was like, what's going on? Man?
Why would you do that to me? Dave?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah, I think he might. I think he might have.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Do you think we could put some salve on that
wound by saying I thought he did a great job
laying out and letting a transactions on the field tell
the story.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I don't feel like Stephen led to my anger. I
feel like it was uh yeah, those seeds were planted
and harvested by me and me alone.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I'm not saying that you were influenced by his emotional
call about balls and strikes. I'm just saying that you
felt similarly emotionally about the balls and stripes parallel.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I don't like it emotional, man, I like to keep
it right in the middle.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I know, Matt, you're an oak.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
I want. I wanted to fade away to a pleasant slumber,
and instead my blood was boiling.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I have to say, you know, if I was ever
in a situation where I was in a town and
people weren't allowed to dance and I needed somebody to
represent me and the rest of my friends and student
body to the local oppressive church, I'd choose you.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Oh, thank you. They can't hold us down. We got
to dance.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
And I could see that being a lot of pressure
on you, so much pressure to where you drive to
like an abandoned factory and your bug. Oh you go
to put a tape in the deck and just start
dancing your ass off. I would dance my ass off.
It looked like a workout. I can see sprinting and
doing hurdly and.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
The sprinting and the high knees with the sprinting. It's
kind of leader. I believe you to be, Matt. I
appreciate that We'll be right back with.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Some more fanfare from last night.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Like I said, Hello, PMS listener. Did you know AM

sports podcasts. There's Rogan and Rodney, That one is my favorite,
Dodger Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of record,

Speaker 2 (38:21):

gourmet sliders, they do fries, shakes, pies, all of it,
and they want you to enjoy the fourth and the
fireworks with some wagu beef sliders, waffle fries. They do
it in beef tallow, not the veggio oil bs. Check
out bertzberger'shb dot com. Visit him on Main Street, Huntington Beach.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
All right, Matt, we did forget one thing. One thing
was painfully absent last night other than Max Munsey's leg
after Kershaw's big moment. And it was Kershaw's bff from
middle school, the cornerback to his center, the catcher to
(39:06):
his pitcher, Ram cornerback, Matt Stafford and his beautiful wife Kelly.
Where was Matt Stafford. Well, he was somewhere in Hawaii
on a trip, and he made a grainy video that
had no service, I mean, the grainiest video message.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Oh yeah, Well they were teammates. You know, they went
to the same high school.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah, you know. Well here here's the grainy very Tim
Kates was able to get hold of somebody out in
Honolulu and intercept this very grainy message, World War two
style and bring it to the people here.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
I always knew Clayton was going to be special, not
because of the stuff that he had, but the way
that he competed. I think you still see that to
this day. Obviously he's competing for the end of his career,
but he's also competing every time he goes and touches
the mound grabs his baseball. So he's one of the
few guys I feel like at the pitcher was where
when he goes out there, he knows he's got the
whole team on his back. He's had that since he
(40:04):
was a kid. I was lucky enough to play catcher
for him for a long time and see that attitude
and that grit out there on the mound. So so
proud of him, so proud of his career. Awesome to
be able to, you know, watch him do his thing
for so long. I know, as a Dodger fan, as
a Clayton fan, I speak for everybody and just say
congratulations and how you know an amazing accomplishment. Is really
proud of him.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Kelly Stafford then went on for thirty seconds about a
waxing incident that she did when she was trying to
self groom.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah, I saw that she needs to know. Well, whatever,
talk about what you want to talk about on your
own podcast that's up there.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Yeah right, Matt, freedom of speech every time.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Exactly right.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I do have a few text us.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Fine, brought to you by your so cal Toyota dealers.
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Idiot Stephen Nelson isn't listening to the show. He's too
busy telling Twitter trolls to pound said because they didn't
like what he said last night.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
Poor guy couldn't win last night. He laid out led
the anything, Well, you just shut.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Up, just leave the just don't don't engage. You know,
I mean, you have a great job. No one's gonna
everybody likes you. You don't have to fight with people
on Twitter. Hey, pe. You know what was the best
part of last night's game, Yes, Kershaw getting three thousand
and Freddie pulling off another walk off but now realizing
(41:28):
Money was squeezing his butt cheeks and yelling at his
TV at the top of his lungs while umpire Wolf
he was making the valley proud and pissing fifty thousand
plus off in the stands.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, sounds like a shot at me, I think, yeah, Well,
I think yeah, he liked the fact that he's upsetting
Dodger fans. That's a that's an odd stance to take,
because he said pissing fifty thousand off as well.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Yeah, Like Wolfe was in there like, hey, you're gonna
have to earn it tonight fifty thousand plus If Stafford's
not coming from Hawaii, I'm calling this thing tight.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Petros had been taking it back to soup bands all right,
wolf Oh wow, soups.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Was the best Petres. I've been catching up on the
podcast for weeks and so far you've mentioned James Elroy,
your inability to function without your Apple Watch, and Lancaster.
You guys have hit three squares on my unique stubby
legged white guy that lives in Lancaster and has terrible
(42:34):
OCD and likes crime fiction bingo card. Next thing, I
know you're gonna be talking about ewalks and an inexplainable
attraction to Mary Poppins Man.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Wow, freakout, freakout.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Well, look, we're all men of a certain age. You know,
I'm the only one that knows. One piece apparently one
piece night at Dodger Stadium tonight. Tim Kates thought it
was a one piece bathing suit they're giving away. That
is not the case.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
You see the lines now man on Twitter. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
I'm telling you, one piece nautical theme. The guy stretches
out real far. He can stretch and kick.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Like a one piece bathing suit on a fat lady.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yes, just to clarify the hat that they're giving aways
for the first forty thousand fans. The special card that
the creator drew just for tonight is until it's given away.
I didn't see how many of the actually made, so
it could be like a ten lie.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Yeah, Yeah, that's why the line Yeah, Jim, jimminy Jim,
I have played three times in a row the number
