Welcome backn hour of the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
It is a runchy, grooven Thursday, live.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
From beautiful Dodger Stadium, Chavez Ravine. We're here for the
all access event, which is not as boogie as the gala.
I'm here Petros, but not as bootleg as the FanFest.
So somewhere in the middle between the Gala and the FanFest,
we your Homa Shoe a Otani and the Dodgers. Tonight
is an off night. David Vase is our co host.
(01:24):
Today Matt is doing Chargers stuff and I have been
uprooted from my desk over there in right center field
and now we are walking on the first base line
near the Visitors dugout. There is various games to be played.
Rick Monday has a step and repeat, River Ryan has
(01:46):
a step and repeat, and David Vasse is approaching one
of the Asian bobblehead Dodger mascot. Guys, there he is there, Dave,
do you know where we're going? You guys got me
to move and now I'm over here? What do you
want me to do?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Why don't you come into the Visitors Dugout? This is
where I hang out often with opposing players that have
played for the Dodgers or I've built a relationship with, Like.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Why do I have to be here? I was comfortable
over there, yeah, but come here.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Get the real baseball feel in the Visitors Dugout, and
you may be surprised who comes out of the dugout.
Maybe a World Series champion or maybe even a World
Series champion and World Series MVP. So why don't you
come in here, live my life, walk in my shoes.
You talk about Greek Orthodox so much, try to get
(02:37):
River Ryan out to the Greek Orthodox Church. We had
River Ryan walk in my footsteps once in a while.
We talked to Michael Grove as well.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
We talked to Eric Carros's spirited conversation with Eric Carross
in the very first segment. And we also talked to
Sean Green, who's still just a cripplingly nice guy, wonderful
guy to talk to. But we are gonna wait for
our next interview. David Vasse says, it's a surprise.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
How does it feel being here in the dugout, not
even sitting on the bench.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
You were very comfortable going to the.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Top step of the bench. That's what baseball players are
sitting next to you. This is very surreal because usually
a world class baseball player sitting next to me, and
today it's you.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I don't usually get out much or out to Dodger Stadium,
and usually if I'm ever in the dugout.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Take a picture of us.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It is a first time.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
What you could venmo me the cost of this photo?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Okay, all right, well we've taken a lot of photos
together today, not here in the visitors dugout at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I feel like you're a tourist in my town. I
have to show you around.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Don't forget the fifth stop of the twenty twenty four
Petros of Mondy Summer Tour.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I was born in Los Angeles in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Uh huh tomorrow, fifth stop of the Petros and Money
Summer Tour, Tarantula Hill Browing Company in Beautiful Thousand Oaks, California,
the eighth five.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
We want to see you there.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Sign up to be a finalist and win eleven thousand
dollars in the Petrosen Money Toyota Cash giveaway at the
last stop in August. They are six finalists from six
tour stops, plus five online finalists at MFI seventy LA
sports dot Com. Prizes include Dodger Pirates tickets, Charger Seahawks
preseason tickets, Chargers Rams preseason tickets, and at two Night's
(04:23):
Day at MGM Resort. I heard Deshan Foster is waffling
on us and might pull out with all his camp duties. Kates,
is that accurate?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, Tomorrow is an off day as far as practice
is concerned for UCLA, and he was scheduled to come
out tomorrow. We are still hoping to make that happen,
all right, but we.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Get Brian Pully Dixon. We also have he's not the
head coach, Dave. We also have Don McClain booked to
show up. Eric Dickerson, I haven't heard from him in
a long time. Yeah, he'll be around and we will
Actually didn't come on last week, Dave, and you'll talk
about that big USA Serbia game that we were all
(05:01):
enjoying today. And let's not forget that we have Jonas
Knox who's covering. That's a big name as well. So
you guys have dragged me all the way over here
to the visitors dugout. You said you were taking me
over there. You have to stand up in I'm starting
to get a little jittery. I mean, I want to
do great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I'm here where.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know what I meant though, when I said I
feel like I'm your tour guide around Dodger Stadium because
you believe you just stay up in the suite or
you just date your father's seats behind home plate, great
seats behind home play in the shade there, Yes, and
you don't really. Have you ever been in the visitors
dugout at Dodgers Stadium?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
No, I believe this is the first time I've ever
been in the visitors dugout.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Have you ever broadcast from the center field warning track before?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I might have done that made a past.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, we've and we've been in center field before watching
the people catch the ball. I mean, we've spent a
lot of time around Dodger Stadium. But it's an interesting
point that you make, Dave, because we do get to
spend a lot of time here, and I don't know
if it ever happens for you, it certainly happens for me.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
When I'm working.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
You kind of forget what a special place this is
and how you felt when you were a kid and
you walked in here and you heard the organ and
you saw the people. When you work here, it gets
to be a little different. Do you ever pinch yourself, Dave,
because it seems like you're kind of an a hole?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Why would you say that?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Joking? Dave?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
But you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I mean you seem to still have a great appreciation
I do or what this place meets, especially areas that
I'm not usually allowed to be in where we are
broadcasting from on the warning track from center field, we don't.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Usually get to see that view.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
That's usually not even a view that if you're sitting
in the pavilions you can take in. But being on
the warning track dirt, you know, little David Vassey from
Woodland Hills would have been freaking out if I was
on the warning track dirt broadcasting with pepchose Papa Data.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Now, as we wait for our next guest, which you
teased and it's probably either Mickey Hatcher or all Hershey.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You blew the team.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I mean not just reading the tea leaves, but you
talked a little bit about rich Hill and during the
break that there's something going on with him as far
as the Dodgers needing somebody.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And you've been teasing this for a while with rich Hill.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
What's he doing.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, we had an exclusive interview with America's pitcher Rich
Hill during the All Star break and he outlined that
he is still intent on signing with the team after
the trade deadline, a team that is still in need
of pitching depth, which so many teams are, and the
caveat is he felt like he wanted to spend the
first half of the season coaching his young son's travel
(07:41):
ball team.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
And he was able to accomplish that.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
J Reddick his sign his son Bryce is going back
to school, so that's the reason why he laid out
this plan. And tomorrow somewhere in Massachusetts, he is going
to be throwing a showcase game. And there are a
number of teams that will have representatives in attendance to
put their eyes on rich Hill, including the Dodgers, including
(08:05):
the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Yankees, the Red Sox. There are
a lot of contending teams that need some pitching and
they're going to see what rich Hill has.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
So he's very excited about that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
And rich Hall has got great relationships all over baseball,
well respected guy. He did get called America's pitcher for nothing,
but Dave overall, one of the chances you think that
he ends up in a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Uniform, I would say right now, with the Dodgers roster crunch,
they are not as entire need of rich Hill as
other teams like the Diamondbacks are, And I know for
a fact that Diamondbacks tried to sign rich Hill in
spring training but he said, you know what, No, I
have this plan to be with my son and I'm
going to stick.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Hey.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
There he is speaking of America's pitcher. Here's LA's pitcher,
a man that is not only an NLCS MVP, but
a ale CSMVP. No other pitcher has accomplished that, a
World Series winning pitcher. I was just in Oakland hoping
to pick up oral herscheizer on the mound all a
(09:07):
Rick Dempsey in Game five and he was nowhere to
be found. But here he is in the visitors dugout
at Dodger Stadium'm joining the Petros and Money show, bull Dog.
Thanks a lot for having us on and great to
see you. You could catch up with Petros later.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
Oh, I want to catch up with Petros all the time.
I love Petrose.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Who doesn't I know, where's Matt Mney Smith instead of you, Dave?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I know I'm disappointing.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh the charge I need it, Dave.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Today, there's a lot of Dodger talk after last night's game.
You know a lot of people have set, you know,
worried about the team not having enough edge. You know,
Fast wanted Michael Grove to yell back at Cassiano some
scream at him and getting a big fight. You used
to bark at dudes and get all riled up out there,
or what's your vibe about last night's scale.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Oh, I don't want to be the one that stirs
it up, but it sounds like you guys have already
stirred it up.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We've been on for two hours and it's hot over there.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
Yeah, and you had to walk all the way over here.
I was upset you were ready to fight somebody. I'll
bet that that don't move me very well.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
It was more fired up than Michael Grove was as
an elderly parent that I moved very well.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
I thought that Michael grove pitch in that count was
not on purpose. I thought he was just trying to throw.
If you look where the target is, it's just a ball,
a fastball that gets away from him. He told us
the same thing, yeah, and and and when you're gonna
throw a fastball as firm as you can, and sometimes
it can get away from me on the arm side.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
And that's what that happened.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
But I think theirs was definitely on purpose, and that
could have exploded into something. I think if the Dodgers
would have decided to retaliate the next inning.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
I think that's what happened.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
I was very calm because Joe Kelly had already pitched.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
I wasn't quite as worried.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Does the team something would break more edge? You think?
Speaker 8 (10:48):
I don't know you. I think you would ask the team.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I think.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
I think our team does have play with emotion and passion,
but I think they are a little bit more where
their emotions are rolled up on their sleeves. They're not
laying them down like Billy Joel. So I think that
it's a you know that song. Yeah, there's there's an
audience of three here that just laughed at that joke.
So uh, we love it, okay, But no, it's a
(11:11):
different generation. I mean, each player is a corporation, each player.
If you retaliate, there could be retaliation on the other side,
and all of a sudden, somebody's career could be a jeopardy.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
So I was. I was a little upset with where
the pitch hit looks.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
You know a lot of times in my day, if
there was retaliation and it was just to pay back slightly,
it was it was a thigh burger, right, you know
it wasn't a headshot, it wasn't in the shoulders cheek. Yeah,
by your wallet now, and that wouldn't hurt at all
with this generation. So no, I it was a little
upsetting to me that it was up and in there
(11:49):
because the first one from Grove was up and in.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
But it wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Right, And if you go back to the games you
were broadcasting in Houston, Ronelle Blanco hit Gavin Lux. He
stared at it, trying to be a tough guy with him.
Blanco screams at him. The catcher gets in Lux's face
and he just went to first base. So it happened
twice within a week. And you know, or I don't
know how many times I have to say this, but
(12:13):
the eighty eight Dodgers were my team, the greatest, most
magical team in La Dodger history. At least you guys
had an edge that I feel is very underappreciated. Mickey Hatcher, yourself,
Mike Zosha, Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
I know they still put Mickey Hatcher in a cage
here and the batting.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Party is all round up back there.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
But at some point now other teams may try to
exploit or challenge the Dodgers with what its transpired in
the last week.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
Yes, and as a broadcaster and a Dodger employee. And
I'm not taking an out. I'm taking an out in
the way of if I hear it come out of
the mouths of Dave Roberts or any of the players,
I can emphasize it, I can expound on it. But
for me to put my personality or what I would
have done or what our generation would have done, I
can't take you there on the air with the public.
(13:02):
I can have a conversation off to the side with
Clayton Kershaw, I can have a conversation off the side
with Joe Kelly. I can do anybody, Dave Roberts, all
of them, right, we have access to all of them,
just like you do. But to say something on the
air about this is my opinion and this is what
they should do. Yeah, on this subject matter, I think
that's the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Fair enough.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
And since I did reference your generation, the nineteen eighty
eight Dodgers, a lot of your teammates are going to
be here for alumni weekend, including Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah, oh, how great?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
What's it like?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Gibby would have been very low key during that incident.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He didn't have a he didn run a four to
two and play college football.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
Give you a way to score from second on a
pass ball and take the catcher out or the rencher.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Joe Hesketh, Well, he got into a fight managing the
Arizona Diamondbacks with the Dodgers.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Oh, that I'd see. I've erased all that from Google.
I think Google erased that too.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
What's it like, though, reuniting with your former teammates after
all these years. Does it feel like the day after
the parade in eighty eight or does it feel like
there's been some time that passed it?
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Does it?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Does?
Speaker 9 (14:06):
I'm glad that God made our bodies so that our
ears would go softer and that our eyes would get blurrier,
because they do look all the same, so I can't see.
It's like watching Dynasty where they're all in soft focus
and so I don't see their wrinkles. And Petros, you
look thinner, So my eyes are doing good.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Sean Green said that too.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
You're not close enough.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Oh, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
I am in the upper deck and he is down
on the field.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
We wanted to talk a little bit about the batting
lineup or you know, I mean, everybody's going to get
to bat at.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
This radio is like stealing money.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
You get paid for this A little hot Okay, I
gotta get the hawf on time and do the reads,
said Don Martin.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
You shouldn't get paid for today. You lost weight walking
in here.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It was.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
It was a rough sojourn, a Mookie Bets not getting
to be the lead off guy. It's it's going to
be showing now how the guys deal with these slights
or however they see. It's it's not easy. And we're
talking about big egos and a lot of money. Oh,
come on, how would you give me a break?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
You're telling me that Mookie Betts has a big ego
when he will come in from right field and play
second base and then he will see that shortstop doesn't
look like it's going to be the best of positions,
and he says.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
I'll switch over there. That's no ego. That's an amazing
human being.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
And I am with you as far as ego and
batting order, but we're not talking about the difference between
a shooting forward and a power forward and a rebounder.
We're not talking about a guy who brings a ball
up the court and then a guy that's going to
be the shooting guard. We're talking about a position in
the batting order that the only difference between two positions
in the batting order are twenty at bats as a
full season. So Otani is doing great. You don't know
(15:44):
how long it's going to take Mookie to get his
legs on the room. And being in the second hole
actually puts the opposing manager in a tough spot.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
Because we can go left, right, left, right.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
You can also put it where Otani can get on
and steal. It's less wear and tear as a dh
for him to be stealing than Cooky Bets to be
stealing and playing shortstop. What else can we say about
that Otani is hot in that position? Let me ask
Fred Rogan was on the other day and I texted
him like seven reasons to help him out, but I
can't remember him now.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Before Mookie Betts got hit by a pitch, he was
the favorite to win the m v P at the
Dodgers leadoff hitter.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Yes, and if you look at.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
His numbers compared to Otani's numbers as the leadoff hitter,
his are still better.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
I thought, as I don't follow.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
The numbers, you don't follow the day.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Good call.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
How about this, that's my philosophy. Two athletes right here,
one obviously much more.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He was blocking for me.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I had the ball, he would block.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I thought.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
The rule is you don't lose your job to an injury.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Is that the rule?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
That's the rule.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
There are no rules like that. The other time there
is a rule like that is because culture. Culture creates
a rule, a swarm of reporters around a manager that
has to walk back in the clubhouse and talk to
the app the leads. He has to create a narrative
that plays in the clubhouse, that plays it to the crowd.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
It's it's you. You're playing a dance. It's a quotation dance.
There is no rule like.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
That, all right, And also used a basketball analogy.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Hit this guy.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
You also tell I'm a bulldog today. I love it
you referenced basketball. In twenty twenty, Mookie Betts was on
the record as saying, as the leadoff hitter, he feels
like the point guard, and he controls the game much
more than hitting third or second or anywhere else.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I totally get it.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
I totally get it, because you know, when I came
into the broadcasting back to the Dodgers, you know, the
best hitter was still the third hole hitter, and then
all of a sudden, now it's the second hole hitter.
And now all of a sudden, it's the leadoff hitter
if he can hit for power. So it all changes,
and it's called game theory. And you have game theory
as far as how you construct your roster. You have
(17:52):
game theory on how you manage the game. You have
game theory on how you manage a series or a
week or a month, and so it all relates.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
It's to game theory.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
And when your roster matches a certain way and your
talent matches another way, you have a game theory that
adjusts those so called hard written rules. And I understand
what you're saying about Mookie Bets and being such a
great perform in the leadoff hole.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
I think that right now they're going to test this.
I kind of like it.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
The left right, left right, and I know it's time
to get off the air, so I don't have to
give any more reasons.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
They need your hitting expertise and watch your back, but
he wasn't silver Slugger as a picture.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Remember it is not game theory or any kind of
stat and you don't need any numbers to know that
Oral Herscheizer is the best ambassador for the La Dodgers
to the fans. One of the great brands and one
of the great Dodger pass out of me, very weird.
And he was going out to Santa Monica tonight. Or
to keep your head, love you both, Treasure the Bulldog
(18:52):
and all these young fans and some of the older
ones very excited to see Oral. Great to see Oral.
Have a great night, Oral her Now, Dave and I
are going to walk on back.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Before we go, Can I give the Vin Scully line
after he got the final out of the Game five
World Series, striking out Tony Phillips nineteen eighty eight. Yes,
like the sixty nine Mets, the impossible dream revisited.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Wow, from the visiting dugout here at Dodger Stadium. We're
gonna walk back into our area and see that all
my stuff has been stolen.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Actually, this is a well healed crowd.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
What did you bring that anybody wants?
Speaker 3 (19:29):

I haven't asked for anything. Have I asked for anything?
I haven't asked for anything since I've been here. I
asked for a bottle of water.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
That's the only thing I asked for since I've been here.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Well, what am I gonna do with this guy?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I didn't ask for anything. I didn't ask for anything.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I've been asking for.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Well, what did you ask for? Why's he?
Speaker 9 (21:02):
I've been asking for all Herscheizer, I've been asking for
all the guys.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
So all right, so we have a big thank you
for Steve Renner. Oral Herscheizer joined us in the very
last segment. Rick Monday blew us off. He did not
blow us off. Stop a little bit. He's taking photos
with fans. They're right River, Ryan, you've been very anti social.
By the way, today it's hot. You put on your headphones.
You're You're like a gen Z kid where you just
(21:25):
look at your phone. You got your headphones on as
we walked the track at Dodger Stadium. Look up, you're
missing a beautiful day at Dodger Stadium. Blue heaven on Earth,
as the Great Tommy Lasorda would say. On my personal
Instagram page, Petraki Papavaki.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
I so Greek.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I did I did?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
I posted a picture of you and I in the
visiting dugout sitting there doing the show, so I'll repost.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
I'll give you a token repost.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
That is up there. But we did.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
We have had a lot of great conversations with a
lot of Dodgers and very interesting coming off last night.
With whatever happened in that game. It seems like it's
more impactful than just any other game, and it feels
like everybody had something to say about it, whether it
was positive or negative or It really feels like Oral
(22:14):
Hrscheizer took a lot of exception to what happened last
night and how the Dodgers reacted. Maybe he would have
reacted differently in his time, That's what it seemed like.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He implied.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Forget you know, I'm not going to get into a
heated argument with a player like Oral Herscheizer, but forget
about his generation.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
The Phillies did it last night.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
The Phillies acted the way he was describing his eighty
eight Dodgers would have acted.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
They did it last night. So it's not a generational thing.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Well know this.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
We have a generational event tomorrow, the fifth stop of
the twenty twenty four Petrosen Money Summer tour is tomorrow
at tarangel A Hill Brewing Company in Thousand Oaks. We
will be Thousand Oaks Boulevard right off Moore Park. We
got the eleven thousand dollars to give the finalist. Only
one more event after this and tomorrow we got Dodgers
(23:10):
Pirates tickets to give away Chargers Seahawks pre season tickets
to give away Chargers Rams pre season tickets at a
two nights day at an MGM resort. And we talked
about it in the last segment. I believe Deshaun Foster
is on the fence now. Eric Dickerson is booked for sure.
(23:30):
Don McClain is booked for sure. And I know you
were worried about that.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I was.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
I was more concerned about Jonas Knox. If he doesn't
show up forget it.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yeah, what will we do without JK? So that is
you know, and we always got TC. You know what
I'm saying now, say yeah, you know how TC TC.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
Great thing we have peepee now the one thing I want.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Yes, thank you for reminding me of my initials that
children made fun of me for years. Now, Dave, before
we go any further, you have an agenda tonight, agenda.
You have had an agenda tonight and ever since you
walked in here, and ever since on the Textoso, even
earlier today.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
You are you are.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Out and about tonight, and you have been pushing me
to give you a ride to Santa Monica afterwards. And
you know how much I hate the West Side, but
you also know how desperately we needed you to come
and do this show today. And I feel like you've
put me in a very tough situation, like I'm gonna
have to drive you to the West Side. I'm not
gonna get home till nine o'clock.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Tonight, Petros.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I just felt it out to see whether or not
you were going to get me close to the McClure
tunnel or at least the Santa Monica Peer, which is
not going to happen. So my friends at Alto ride
Share are on their way right now. They really yes,
And I will post a picture on my Instagram of
me getting out of that Alto and saying f you, Petro's.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I don't want that. You know, I don't want that.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I get very people know that I get very upset
if somebody tries to call me like a bad friend
like earlier today.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
How many friends do you actually have?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Well, I guess none, since it's like my co workers
that had get upset about. So I was on my way.
I was at I was at that Mexican place that
you liked, kucko.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
No, no, you're my day, or about in the stadium
your Mexicali Tacos on Figaroa.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I was at Mexicali Tacos on Figaroa and Tim Kates
called me and he was like, oh, you're already there.
I was like, well, yeah, I'm having dinner, I'm having lunch.
Let me call you right back. He's like, he thought
I was with you, and he got all jealous and
he hung up that we didn't invite you. Yeah, that
we didn't invite that him and Colin. Ye weren't invited
to our special lunch and we weren't going to get
(25:47):
to play.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I didn't hang up.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
You hung up, you know, you hung up on me,
and you made me feel real bad about myself. And
then when he found out that it was just me
alone and you weren't with me, then he wasn't mad.
And then you come and start manipulating me about you're
gonna give me a ride to Santa Monica. If you don't,
you're going to be a bad friend. And I'm gonna
call you out with alto my ride share service. That's
a sponsor, for God's sakes. And why are you going
(26:10):
to Santa Monica night?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Anyway? What's going on out there?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Well, my good friend from ESPN, Jorge Castillo, was has
been covering the New York teams. He's in town. We're
gonna have a good time myself Yankees in town. No,
he's out here on days off, which you know is
foreign to me during the baseball season, but none of
the lottery gave. But nonetheless myself want to Ribio from
Dodgers dot Com and a few other friends are going
(26:35):
to meet up in Santa Monica, and I had been planning.
Now my wife and kids are out of town, and
it's been planned that they are going to be out
of town for a month.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
So you know, I played it humble.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I was very disappointed at the time they would not
be here while I was home with the Dodgers. But
you know, as you have that they're gone at a
time of change, you must be adoptive, productive, and a
time of change exactly that's always been my advice. I
booked a hotel in Santa Monica without my wife knowing,
because I want you book it through Bomvoy. I got
Bomboid points, baby, and so there was going to be
(27:09):
a free room, no charge or traceable credit card charge.
So you know, I was going to enjoy myself in
Santa Monica today. But adult responsibility started to creep into
my life. We had a plumbing leak, I had to
take care of the air conditioner broke, and my mom
needed me to take her to a medical appointment. So
that was all today. That was all today and having
(27:32):
to do the show with you. So my week has
been my day off has been blown up. So no
hotel room, which my wife, by the way, told me,
absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
But you cancel your hotel, what were you going to sleep?
Then I'm going to take alto back to my house.
So you're gonna go to Santa Monica after this, Yes,
have dinner with a bunch of baseball types and some
cocktails and some cocktails, and then you're going to take
it back to a Gora and then you'll be fresh
as a rose tomorrow. And I have to take my
mom to a medical appointment tomorrow morning and then work
(28:04):
the game versus Pittsburgh tomorrow. Now, how dire is the
situation for the Dodgers with the d Backs and the
Padres creeping up there.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Behind, Oh, Petros, This is a division race.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
So we might live in a world where the Dodgers
don't live win this division.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
That's like, that's like, no, I still believe they'll win
the division, but it's not Yeah, no, really going off
the rails. But it's not going to be by ten
games like it was appearing just a month ago. These
teams are for real. They're both they're all getting healthy.
The Padres added some key relievers at the trade deadline.
The Dodgers are waiting to get healthy. Whether or not
(28:46):
that materializes, everybody is still holding their breath for that.
But this is going to be similar to twenty eighteen,
more so than twenty twenty one, when the Giants by
one game all.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
These different years.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
As you mentioned game one sixty.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Three, twenty eighteen, I cannot I I.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
It's all a blur to me. Twenty that's how you
do it.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Let me refresh it.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Four.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Well, you you just brought up all this historical reference
to Paul Grange Redro Paul.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Yeah, see there you go. See you have Harold Rolodecks.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Harold was his first name.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
You have your Rolodecks of football history. I have my
Rolodecks of Dodger and baseball history and Laker in NBA history.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
All right, So what happened in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Game one sixty three when Walker Buehler made his name
walking Walker freaking Bueller beating the Rockies in Game one
sixty three to win the division and get home field
advantage in the first round. Twenty twenty one, Gabe Kapler
and the Giants had a very lucky season of winning
one hundred and seven games and beating the Dodgers, who
(29:49):
won one hundred and six that year for the NLS championship.
So this is going to resemble, in my opinion, not
Eric Carross's. It's going to resemble those two. Well, we'll
see what happens. Dave, You've been wonderful today.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
We still have a.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Lot more to come. My Alto's on the way.
Speaker 5 (30:06):

And don't forget David vass out on the streets of
Santa Monica tonight tonight, but he's got another hour of
great sports talk here.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Have you cooled down a little bit?
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Dave? From the beginning of the show, talking to Eric Carross,
talking to Oral Herscheiser, talking to some of the voices
of reason around this Dodger team. Do you feel a
little bit better about what is going to be a
hot divisional race? And maybe a hot iron sharpens iron
divisional race is what the Dodgers need to wake up
and get some made hetos.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
The only reason why I feel better is I got
some sort of validation from both of those type of players,
even though they can only go so far. And honestly,
when I have opinions after the game, I don't have
the opportunity to ask a player is this correct? Is
this not correct? So I go off of my instincts
and what I have learned from these other players to
(31:42):
form my opinion or even reference there.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
So in this type of situation.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
I'm looking for validation or I don't want to just
be on an island by myself, So I'm looking for validation,
and I feel like to a certain extent, Oral Hersheiser
gave some validation to what my opinion was about the
eighth inning.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
So for the Dodgers all the way down the stretch,
how important is every single game on MFI seventy LA sports.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Without a doubt, we have a pennant race, a division race.
Until the finish line between the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks and
the Padres, no game can be taken for granted. There
cannot be big picture. There has to be Let's try
to win this game tonight and when the Dodgers get
their players back between now and the next time you
(32:31):
see them at Dodgers stadium. I feel like they're going
to start to get some breathing room in this division.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Race one more hour, a great sports top Thank you, Dave.

Welcome backn hour of the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
It is a runchy, grooven Thursday, live.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
From beautiful Dodger Stadium, Chavez Ravine. We're here for the
all access event, which is not as boogie as the gala.
I'm here Petros, but not as bootleg as the FanFest.
So somewhere in the middle between the Gala and the FanFest,
we your Homa Shoe a Otani and the Dodgers. Tonight
is an off night. David Vase is our co host.
(01:24):
Today Matt is doing Chargers stuff and I have been
uprooted from my desk over there in right center field
and now we are walking on the first base line
near the Visitors dugout. There is various games to be played.
Rick Monday has a step and repeat, River Ryan has
(01:46):
a step and repeat, and David Vasse is approaching one
of the Asian bobblehead Dodger mascot. Guys, there he is there, Dave,
do you know where we're going? You guys got me
to move and now I'm over here? What do you
want me to do?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Why don't you come into the Visitors Dugout? This is
where I hang out often with opposing players that have
played for the Dodgers or I've built a relationship with, Like.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Why do I have to be here? I was comfortable
over there, yeah, but come here.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Get the real baseball feel in the Visitors Dugout, and
you may be surprised who comes out of the dugout.
Maybe a World Series champion or maybe even a World
Series champion and World Series MVP. So why don't you
come in here, live my life, walk in my shoes.
You talk about Greek Orthodox so much, try to get
(02:37):
River Ryan out to the Greek Orthodox Church. We had
River Ryan walk in my footsteps once in a while.
We talked to Michael Grove as well.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
We talked to Eric Carros's spirited conversation with Eric Carross
in the very first segment. And we also talked to
Sean Green, who's still just a cripplingly nice guy, wonderful
guy to talk to. But we are gonna wait for
our next interview. David Vasse says, it's a surprise.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
How does it feel being here in the dugout, not
even sitting on the bench.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
You were very comfortable going to the.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Top step of the bench. That's what baseball players are
sitting next to you. This is very surreal because usually
a world class baseball player sitting next to me, and
today it's you.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I don't usually get out much or out to Dodger Stadium,
and usually if I'm ever in the dugout.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Take a picture of us.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It is a first time.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
What you could venmo me the cost of this photo?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Okay, all right, well we've taken a lot of photos
together today, not here in the visitors dugout at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I feel like you're a tourist in my town. I
have to show you around.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Don't forget the fifth stop of the twenty twenty four
Petros of Mondy Summer Tour.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I was born in Los Angeles in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Uh huh tomorrow, fifth stop of the Petros and Money

(04:23):
Day at MGM Resort. I heard Deshan Foster is waffling
on us and might pull out with all his camp duties. Kates,
is that accurate?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, Tomorrow is an off day as far as practice
is concerned for UCLA, and he was scheduled to come
out tomorrow. We are still hoping to make that happen,
all right, but we.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Get Brian Pully Dixon. We also have he's not the
head coach, Dave. We also have Don McClain booked to
show up. Eric Dickerson, I haven't heard from him in
a long time. Yeah, he'll be around and we will
Actually didn't come on last week, Dave, and you'll talk
about that big USA Serbia game that we were all
(05:01):
enjoying today. And let's not forget that we have Jonas
Knox who's covering. That's a big name as well. So
you guys have dragged me all the way over here
to the visitors dugout. You said you were taking me
over there. You have to stand up in I'm starting
to get a little jittery. I mean, I want to
do great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I'm here where.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know what I meant though, when I said I
feel like I'm your tour guide around Dodger Stadium because
you believe you just stay up in the suite or
you just date your father's seats behind home plate, great
seats behind home play in the shade there, Yes, and
you don't really. Have you ever been in the visitors
dugout at Dodgers Stadium?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
No, I believe this is the first time I've ever
been in the visitors dugout.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Have you ever broadcast from the center field warning track before?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I might have done that made a past.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, we've and we've been in center field before watching
the people catch the ball. I mean, we've spent a
lot of time around Dodger Stadium. But it's an interesting
point that you make, Dave, because we do get to
spend a lot of time here, and I don't know
if it ever happens for you, it certainly happens for me.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
When I'm working.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
You kind of forget what a special place this is
and how you felt when you were a kid and
you walked in here and you heard the organ and
you saw the people. When you work here, it gets
to be a little different. Do you ever pinch yourself, Dave,
because it seems like you're kind of an a hole?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Why would you say that?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Joking? Dave?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
But you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I mean you seem to still have a great appreciation
I do or what this place meets, especially areas that
I'm not usually allowed to be in where we are
broadcasting from on the warning track from center field, we don't.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Usually get to see that view.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
That's usually not even a view that if you're sitting
in the pavilions you can take in. But being on
the warning track dirt, you know, little David Vassey from
Woodland Hills would have been freaking out if I was
on the warning track dirt broadcasting with pepchose Papa Data.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Now, as we wait for our next guest, which you
teased and it's probably either Mickey Hatcher or all Hershey.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You blew the team.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I mean not just reading the tea leaves, but you
talked a little bit about rich Hill and during the
break that there's something going on with him as far
as the Dodgers needing somebody.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And you've been teasing this for a while with rich Hill.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
What's he doing.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, we had an exclusive interview with America's pitcher Rich
Hill during the All Star break and he outlined that
he is still intent on signing with the team after
the trade deadline, a team that is still in need
of pitching depth, which so many teams are, and the
caveat is he felt like he wanted to spend the
first half of the season coaching his young son's travel
(07:41):
ball team.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
And he was able to accomplish that.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
J Reddick his sign his son Bryce is going back
to school, so that's the reason why he laid out
this plan. And tomorrow somewhere in Massachusetts, he is going
to be throwing a showcase game. And there are a
number of teams that will have representatives in attendance to
put their eyes on rich Hill, including the Dodgers, including
(08:05):
the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Yankees, the Red Sox. There are
a lot of contending teams that need some pitching and
they're going to see what rich Hill has.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
So he's very excited about that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
And rich Hall has got great relationships all over baseball,
well respected guy. He did get called America's pitcher for nothing,
but Dave overall, one of the chances you think that
he ends up in a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Uniform, I would say right now, with the Dodgers roster crunch,
they are not as entire need of rich Hill as
other teams like the Diamondbacks are, And I know for
a fact that Diamondbacks tried to sign rich Hill in
spring training but he said, you know what, No, I
have this plan to be with my son and I'm
going to stick.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Hey.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
There he is speaking of America's pitcher. Here's LA's pitcher,
a man that is not only an NLCS MVP, but
a ale CSMVP. No other pitcher has accomplished that, a
World Series winning pitcher. I was just in Oakland hoping
to pick up oral herscheizer on the mound all a
(09:07):
Rick Dempsey in Game five and he was nowhere to
be found. But here he is in the visitors dugout
at Dodger Stadium'm joining the Petros and Money show, bull Dog.
Thanks a lot for having us on and great to
see you. You could catch up with Petros later.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
Oh, I want to catch up with Petros all the time.
I love Petrose.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Who doesn't I know, where's Matt Mney Smith instead of you, Dave?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I know I'm disappointing.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh the charge I need it, Dave.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Today, there's a lot of Dodger talk after last night's game.
You know a lot of people have set, you know,
worried about the team not having enough edge. You know,
Fast wanted Michael Grove to yell back at Cassiano some
scream at him and getting a big fight. You used
to bark at dudes and get all riled up out there,
or what's your vibe about last night's scale.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Oh, I don't want to be the one that stirs
it up, but it sounds like you guys have already
stirred it up.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We've been on for two hours and it's hot over there.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
Yeah, and you had to walk all the way over here.
I was upset you were ready to fight somebody. I'll
bet that that don't move me very well.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
It was more fired up than Michael Grove was as
an elderly parent that I moved very well.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
I thought that Michael grove pitch in that count was
not on purpose. I thought he was just trying to throw.
If you look where the target is, it's just a ball,
a fastball that gets away from him. He told us
the same thing, yeah, and and and when you're gonna
throw a fastball as firm as you can, and sometimes
it can get away from me on the arm side.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
And that's what that happened.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
But I think theirs was definitely on purpose, and that
could have exploded into something. I think if the Dodgers
would have decided to retaliate the next inning.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
I think that's what happened.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
I was very calm because Joe Kelly had already pitched.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
I wasn't quite as worried.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Does the team something would break more edge? You think?
Speaker 8 (10:48):
I don't know you. I think you would ask the team.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I think.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
I think our team does have play with emotion and passion,
but I think they are a little bit more where
their emotions are rolled up on their sleeves. They're not
laying them down like Billy Joel. So I think that
it's a you know that song. Yeah, there's there's an
audience of three here that just laughed at that joke.
So uh, we love it, okay, But no, it's a
(11:11):
different generation. I mean, each player is a corporation, each player.
If you retaliate, there could be retaliation on the other side,
and all of a sudden, somebody's career could be a jeopardy.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
So I was. I was a little upset with where
the pitch hit looks.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
You know a lot of times in my day, if
there was retaliation and it was just to pay back slightly,
it was it was a thigh burger, right, you know
it wasn't a headshot, it wasn't in the shoulders cheek. Yeah,
by your wallet now, and that wouldn't hurt at all
with this generation. So no, I it was a little
upsetting to me that it was up and in there
(11:49):
because the first one from Grove was up and in.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
But it wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Right, And if you go back to the games you
were broadcasting in Houston, Ronelle Blanco hit Gavin Lux. He
stared at it, trying to be a tough guy with him.
Blanco screams at him. The catcher gets in Lux's face
and he just went to first base. So it happened
twice within a week. And you know, or I don't
know how many times I have to say this, but
(12:13):
the eighty eight Dodgers were my team, the greatest, most
magical team in La Dodger history. At least you guys
had an edge that I feel is very underappreciated. Mickey Hatcher, yourself,
Mike Zosha, Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
I know they still put Mickey Hatcher in a cage
here and the batting.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Party is all round up back there.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
But at some point now other teams may try to
exploit or challenge the Dodgers with what its transpired in
the last week.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
Yes, and as a broadcaster and a Dodger employee. And
I'm not taking an out. I'm taking an out in
the way of if I hear it come out of
the mouths of Dave Roberts or any of the players,
I can emphasize it, I can expound on it. But
for me to put my personality or what I would
have done or what our generation would have done, I
can't take you there on the air with the public.
(13:02):
I can have a conversation off to the side with
Clayton Kershaw, I can have a conversation off the side
with Joe Kelly. I can do anybody, Dave Roberts, all
of them, right, we have access to all of them,
just like you do. But to say something on the
air about this is my opinion and this is what
they should do. Yeah, on this subject matter, I think
that's the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Fair enough.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
And since I did reference your generation, the nineteen eighty
eight Dodgers, a lot of your teammates are going to
be here for alumni weekend, including Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah, oh, how great?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
What's it like?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Gibby would have been very low key during that incident.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He didn't have a he didn run a four to
two and play college football.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
Give you a way to score from second on a
pass ball and take the catcher out or the rencher.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Joe Hesketh, Well, he got into a fight managing the
Arizona Diamondbacks with the Dodgers.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Oh, that I'd see. I've erased all that from Google.
I think Google erased that too.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
What's it like, though, reuniting with your former teammates after
all these years. Does it feel like the day after
the parade in eighty eight or does it feel like
there's been some time that passed it?
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Does it?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Does?
Speaker 9 (14:06):
I'm glad that God made our bodies so that our
ears would go softer and that our eyes would get blurrier,
because they do look all the same, so I can't see.
It's like watching Dynasty where they're all in soft focus
and so I don't see their wrinkles. And Petros, you
look thinner, So my eyes are doing good.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Sean Green said that too.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
You're not close enough.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Oh, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
I am in the upper deck and he is down
on the field.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
We wanted to talk a little bit about the batting
lineup or you know, I mean, everybody's going to get
to bat at.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
This radio is like stealing money.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
You get paid for this A little hot Okay, I
gotta get the hawf on time and do the reads,
said Don Martin.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
You shouldn't get paid for today. You lost weight walking
in here.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It was.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
It was a rough sojourn, a Mookie Bets not getting
to be the lead off guy. It's it's going to
be showing now how the guys deal with these slights
or however they see. It's it's not easy. And we're
talking about big egos and a lot of money. Oh,
come on, how would you give me a break?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
You're telling me that Mookie Betts has a big ego
when he will come in from right field and play
second base and then he will see that shortstop doesn't
look like it's going to be the best of positions,
and he says.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
I'll switch over there. That's no ego. That's an amazing
human being.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
And I am with you as far as ego and
batting order, but we're not talking about the difference between
a shooting forward and a power forward and a rebounder.
We're not talking about a guy who brings a ball
up the court and then a guy that's going to
be the shooting guard. We're talking about a position in
the batting order that the only difference between two positions
in the batting order are twenty at bats as a
full season. So Otani is doing great. You don't know
(15:44):
how long it's going to take Mookie to get his
legs on the room. And being in the second hole
actually puts the opposing manager in a tough spot.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
Because we can go left, right, left, right.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
You can also put it where Otani can get on
and steal. It's less wear and tear as a dh
for him to be stealing than Cooky Bets to be
stealing and playing shortstop. What else can we say about
that Otani is hot in that position? Let me ask
Fred Rogan was on the other day and I texted
him like seven reasons to help him out, but I
can't remember him now.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Before Mookie Betts got hit by a pitch, he was
the favorite to win the m v P at the
Dodgers leadoff hitter.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Yes, and if you look at.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
His numbers compared to Otani's numbers as the leadoff hitter,
his are still better.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
I thought, as I don't follow.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
The numbers, you don't follow the day.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Good call.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
How about this, that's my philosophy. Two athletes right here,
one obviously much more.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He was blocking for me.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I had the ball, he would block.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I thought.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
The rule is you don't lose your job to an injury.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Is that the rule?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
That's the rule.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
There are no rules like that. The other time there
is a rule like that is because culture. Culture creates
a rule, a swarm of reporters around a manager that
has to walk back in the clubhouse and talk to
the app the leads. He has to create a narrative
that plays in the clubhouse, that plays it to the crowd.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
It's it's you. You're playing a dance. It's a quotation dance.
There is no rule like.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
That, all right, And also used a basketball analogy.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Hit this guy.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
You also tell I'm a bulldog today. I love it
you referenced basketball. In twenty twenty, Mookie Betts was on
the record as saying, as the leadoff hitter, he feels
like the point guard, and he controls the game much
more than hitting third or second or anywhere else.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I totally get it.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
I totally get it, because you know, when I came
into the broadcasting back to the Dodgers, you know, the
best hitter was still the third hole hitter, and then
all of a sudden, now it's the second hole hitter.
And now all of a sudden, it's the leadoff hitter
if he can hit for power. So it all changes,
and it's called game theory. And you have game theory
as far as how you construct your roster. You have
(17:52):
game theory on how you manage the game. You have
game theory on how you manage a series or a
week or a month, and so it all relates.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
It's to game theory.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
And when your roster matches a certain way and your
talent matches another way, you have a game theory that
adjusts those so called hard written rules. And I understand
what you're saying about Mookie Bets and being such a
great perform in the leadoff hole.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
I think that right now they're going to test this.
I kind of like it.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
The left right, left right, and I know it's time
to get off the air, so I don't have to
give any more reasons.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
They need your hitting expertise and watch your back, but
he wasn't silver Slugger as a picture.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Remember it is not game theory or any kind of
stat and you don't need any numbers to know that
Oral Herscheizer is the best ambassador for the La Dodgers
to the fans. One of the great brands and one
of the great Dodger pass out of me, very weird.
And he was going out to Santa Monica tonight. Or
to keep your head, love you both, Treasure the Bulldog
(18:52):
and all these young fans and some of the older
ones very excited to see Oral. Great to see Oral.
Have a great night, Oral her Now, Dave and I
are going to walk on back.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Before we go, Can I give the Vin Scully line
after he got the final out of the Game five
World Series, striking out Tony Phillips nineteen eighty eight. Yes,
like the sixty nine Mets, the impossible dream revisited.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Wow, from the visiting dugout here at Dodger Stadium. We're
gonna walk back into our area and see that all
my stuff has been stolen.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Actually, this is a well healed crowd.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
What did you bring that anybody wants?
Speaker 3 (19:29):
My backpack?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Nothing's in there, all the secrets of great sports talk.
I'll buy you another Hello Kitty keychain. We'll be right
back with more great sports talk. It is the Petrosen
Money Show on This Crunchy Group Thursday on AM five
seventy LA Sports. We are live from Dodger Stadium. It's
been a heck of a day.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Oral Hers Scheiser, Eric Carroll, Shawn Green, River, Ryan and
Michael Grove. Not to mention the imperative analysis and hard
hitting questions from David Vassay. You're intrepid Dodger Report last Dance.
We'll be back with more in the next second.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
I'd love it all the way Tonight Tuesday Night.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
It's cracking.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Everybody, Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
It's the one and only Petro Send Money Show on
This Crunchy Doom on.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Thursday on AMPI seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
A big thank you to our exuberant promotions department who
came out here.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Steve Brenner, who's our a PR guy.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Is Brenner mad at us?
Speaker 7 (20:41):
No, he's just juggling a lot of things here. Petro's not.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Everybody can ballot the altar of Papadacus.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I haven't asked for anything. Have I asked for anything?
I haven't asked for anything since I've been here. I
asked for a bottle of water.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
That's the only thing I asked for since I've been here.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Well, what am I gonna do with this guy?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I didn't ask for anything. I didn't ask for anything.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I've been asking for.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Well, what did you ask for? Why's he?
Speaker 9 (21:02):
I've been asking for all Herscheizer, I've been asking for
all the guys.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
So all right, so we have a big thank you
for Steve Renner. Oral Herscheizer joined us in the very
last segment. Rick Monday blew us off. He did not
blow us off. Stop a little bit. He's taking photos
with fans. They're right River, Ryan, you've been very anti social.
By the way, today it's hot. You put on your headphones.
You're You're like a gen Z kid where you just
(21:25):
look at your phone. You got your headphones on as
we walked the track at Dodger Stadium. Look up, you're
missing a beautiful day at Dodger Stadium. Blue heaven on Earth,
as the Great Tommy Lasorda would say. On my personal
Instagram page, Petraki Papavaki.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
I so Greek.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I did I did?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
I posted a picture of you and I in the
visiting dugout sitting there doing the show, so I'll repost.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
I'll give you a token repost.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
That is up there. But we did.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
We have had a lot of great conversations with a
lot of Dodgers and very interesting coming off last night.
With whatever happened in that game. It seems like it's
more impactful than just any other game, and it feels
like everybody had something to say about it, whether it
was positive or negative or It really feels like Oral
(22:14):
Hrscheizer took a lot of exception to what happened last
night and how the Dodgers reacted. Maybe he would have
reacted differently in his time, That's what it seemed like.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He implied.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Forget you know, I'm not going to get into a
heated argument with a player like Oral Herscheizer, but forget
about his generation.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
The Phillies did it last night.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
The Phillies acted the way he was describing his eighty
eight Dodgers would have acted.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
They did it last night. So it's not a generational thing.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Well know this.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
We have a generational event tomorrow, the fifth stop of
the twenty twenty four Petrosen Money Summer tour is tomorrow
at tarangel A Hill Brewing Company in Thousand Oaks. We
will be Thousand Oaks Boulevard right off Moore Park. We
got the eleven thousand dollars to give the finalist. Only
one more event after this and tomorrow we got Dodgers
(23:10):
Pirates tickets to give away Chargers Seahawks pre season tickets
to give away Chargers Rams pre season tickets at a
two nights day at an MGM resort. And we talked
about it in the last segment. I believe Deshaun Foster
is on the fence now. Eric Dickerson is booked for sure.
(23:30):
Don McClain is booked for sure. And I know you
were worried about that.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I was.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
I was more concerned about Jonas Knox. If he doesn't
show up forget it.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yeah, what will we do without JK? So that is
you know, and we always got TC. You know what
I'm saying now, say yeah, you know how TC TC.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
Great thing we have peepee now the one thing I want.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Yes, thank you for reminding me of my initials that
children made fun of me for years. Now, Dave, before
we go any further, you have an agenda tonight, agenda.
You have had an agenda tonight and ever since you
walked in here, and ever since on the Textoso, even
earlier today.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
You are you are.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Out and about tonight, and you have been pushing me
to give you a ride to Santa Monica afterwards. And
you know how much I hate the West Side, but
you also know how desperately we needed you to come
and do this show today. And I feel like you've
put me in a very tough situation, like I'm gonna
have to drive you to the West Side. I'm not
gonna get home till nine o'clock.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Tonight, Petros.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I just felt it out to see whether or not
you were going to get me close to the McClure
tunnel or at least the Santa Monica Peer, which is
not going to happen. So my friends at Alto ride
Share are on their way right now. They really yes,
And I will post a picture on my Instagram of
me getting out of that Alto and saying f you, Petro's.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I don't want that. You know, I don't want that.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I get very people know that I get very upset
if somebody tries to call me like a bad friend
like earlier today.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
How many friends do you actually have?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Well, I guess none, since it's like my co workers
that had get upset about. So I was on my way.
I was at I was at that Mexican place that
you liked, kucko.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
No, no, you're my day, or about in the stadium
your Mexicali Tacos on Figaroa.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I was at Mexicali Tacos on Figaroa and Tim Kates
called me and he was like, oh, you're already there.
I was like, well, yeah, I'm having dinner, I'm having lunch.
Let me call you right back. He's like, he thought
I was with you, and he got all jealous and
he hung up that we didn't invite you. Yeah, that
we didn't invite that him and Colin. Ye weren't invited
to our special lunch and we weren't going to get
(25:47):
to play.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I didn't hang up.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
You hung up, you know, you hung up on me,
and you made me feel real bad about myself. And
then when he found out that it was just me
alone and you weren't with me, then he wasn't mad.
And then you come and start manipulating me about you're
gonna give me a ride to Santa Monica. If you don't,
you're going to be a bad friend. And I'm gonna
call you out with alto my ride share service. That's
a sponsor, for God's sakes. And why are you going
(26:10):
to Santa Monica night?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Anyway? What's going on out there?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Well, my good friend from ESPN, Jorge Castillo, was has
been covering the New York teams. He's in town. We're
gonna have a good time myself Yankees in town. No,
he's out here on days off, which you know is
foreign to me during the baseball season, but none of
the lottery gave. But nonetheless myself want to Ribio from
Dodgers dot Com and a few other friends are going
(26:35):
to meet up in Santa Monica, and I had been planning.
Now my wife and kids are out of town, and
it's been planned that they are going to be out
of town for a month.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
So you know, I played it humble.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I was very disappointed at the time they would not
be here while I was home with the Dodgers. But
you know, as you have that they're gone at a
time of change, you must be adoptive, productive, and a
time of change exactly that's always been my advice. I
booked a hotel in Santa Monica without my wife knowing,
because I want you book it through Bomvoy. I got
Bomboid points, baby, and so there was going to be
(27:09):
a free room, no charge or traceable credit card charge.
So you know, I was going to enjoy myself in
Santa Monica today. But adult responsibility started to creep into
my life. We had a plumbing leak, I had to
take care of the air conditioner broke, and my mom
needed me to take her to a medical appointment. So
that was all today. That was all today and having
(27:32):
to do the show with you. So my week has
been my day off has been blown up. So no
hotel room, which my wife, by the way, told me,
absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
But you cancel your hotel, what were you going to sleep?
Then I'm going to take alto back to my house.
So you're gonna go to Santa Monica after this, Yes,
have dinner with a bunch of baseball types and some
cocktails and some cocktails, and then you're going to take
it back to a Gora and then you'll be fresh
as a rose tomorrow. And I have to take my
mom to a medical appointment tomorrow morning and then work
(28:04):
the game versus Pittsburgh tomorrow. Now, how dire is the
situation for the Dodgers with the d Backs and the
Padres creeping up there.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Behind, Oh, Petros, This is a division race.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
So we might live in a world where the Dodgers
don't live win this division.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
That's like, that's like, no, I still believe they'll win
the division, but it's not Yeah, no, really going off
the rails. But it's not going to be by ten
games like it was appearing just a month ago. These
teams are for real. They're both they're all getting healthy.
The Padres added some key relievers at the trade deadline.
The Dodgers are waiting to get healthy. Whether or not
(28:46):
that materializes, everybody is still holding their breath for that.
But this is going to be similar to twenty eighteen,
more so than twenty twenty one, when the Giants by
one game all.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
These different years.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
As you mentioned game one sixty.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Three, twenty eighteen, I cannot I I.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
It's all a blur to me. Twenty that's how you
do it.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Let me refresh it.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Four.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Well, you you just brought up all this historical reference
to Paul Grange Redro Paul.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Yeah, see there you go. See you have Harold Rolodecks.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Harold was his first name.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
You have your Rolodecks of football history. I have my
Rolodecks of Dodger and baseball history and Laker in NBA history.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
All right, So what happened in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Game one sixty three when Walker Buehler made his name
walking Walker freaking Bueller beating the Rockies in Game one
sixty three to win the division and get home field
advantage in the first round. Twenty twenty one, Gabe Kapler
and the Giants had a very lucky season of winning
one hundred and seven games and beating the Dodgers, who
(29:49):
won one hundred and six that year for the NLS championship.
So this is going to resemble, in my opinion, not
Eric Carross's. It's going to resemble those two. Well, we'll
see what happens. Dave, You've been wonderful today.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
We still have a.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Lot more to come. My Alto's on the way.

Dave? From the beginning of the show, talking to Eric Carross,
talking to Oral Herscheiser, talking to some of the voices
of reason around this Dodger team. Do you feel a
little bit better about what is going to be a
hot divisional race? And maybe a hot iron sharpens iron
divisional race is what the Dodgers need to wake up
and get some made hetos.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
The only reason why I feel better is I got
some sort of validation from both of those type of players,
even though they can only go so far. And honestly,
when I have opinions after the game, I don't have
the opportunity to ask a player is this correct? Is
this not correct? So I go off of my instincts
and what I have learned from these other players to
(31:42):
form my opinion or even reference there.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
So in this type of situation.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
I'm looking for validation or I don't want to just
be on an island by myself, So I'm looking for validation,
and I feel like to a certain extent, Oral Hersheiser
gave some validation to what my opinion was about the
eighth inning.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
So for the Dodgers all the way down the stretch,
how important is every single game on MFI seventy LA sports.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Without a doubt, we have a pennant race, a division race.
Until the finish line between the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks and
the Padres, no game can be taken for granted. There
cannot be big picture. There has to be Let's try
to win this game tonight and when the Dodgers get
their players back between now and the next time you
(32:31):
see them at Dodgers stadium. I feel like they're going
to start to get some breathing room in this division.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Race one more hour, a great sports top Thank you, Dave.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Let's go Petros one more.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Talk to you tomorrow down the line from Tarantula Ahall,
thanks for the warning.
