Speaker 1 (01:28):
It is an early day in Great Sports Talk on
this Friday. Not because we're trying to get a jump
on the weekend, though I guess that would be a
nice opportunity since most people have a three day weekend
coming up. No, it is because the Clippers are in
Canada to take on the Toronto Raptor, so fully Functional
(01:50):
employee Adham will be here. He will be along at
one excuse me at three point thirty. We are starting
here at one o'clock and fully funye Anam will be
around at three point thirty, So just two and a
half hours of great sports talk to talk about the
Dodgers and Kyle Tucker and all that. David Vassi will
(02:12):
join us in the very next hour to celebrate that,
and we are hopeful Hopeful music at noon. Hopeful music
at noon, hopeful that everybody feels great about what the
Dodgers are doing. If you're not a Dodger fan, I
(02:34):
mean if yeah, if you're not, you would be right
to think that the Dodgers can win it because they've
won the last two and they seem to have improved
their team even more. They got a closer, they got
an outfielder, They've got the superpower posse of Otanimoki and
Freddie and the House. They got Yoshi Yamamoto and snell
(02:59):
Zilla calling in on radio shows. There's only one thing
that can stop the Dodgers. Man as we listen to
Japanese music in the background, and that's what the Scourge
of the World Baseball Classic. What if something happens so well, Tony,
what if something happens to Yoshi? What if you f u?
(03:21):
So we'll see what happens as we discuss it further.
But Kyle Tucker, right at the end of our show,
like one minute left on the show, becomes a Dodger.
David Vassay gets on air with Dodger Talk with the
breaking news that Jeff Passing had first, but Vassay did
(03:41):
have contract details on great to have it first, to
have it anybody else. Yes, that was very, very impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And are they giving him credit for that? No, nobody
gave him credit for it. The a holes that they are.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Do they call me Angus the bridge builder. No, even
though I built that with me two hands right here,
they do not call me that. F one goat. I'm
happy that it happened how it happened, so Dave could
get all the shine, and I'm happy that Dave had
(04:17):
those details.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Our own.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Tim Kates, I believe was in position earlier today at
work in ABC seven KABC Fuchs Follies Rob Fukasaki, who
was not in attendance.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Very original segment Fuchs Follies.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Not not in not in attendance at the Broadcasters.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Award, no announced by name, but not there to acknowledge.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
He sent his minions to the station today to interview
one Tim Kates on KABC about Kyle Tucker becoming a Dodger.
What can the people of Los Angeles expect to see
you in, Tim Kates shaven did you have a suit
like you did at the Southern California Broadcasters Awards. What happened, well, I.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Just want to correct you just real briefly.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Of Rob Fukuzaki in the sports department.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
They sent Kasaki himself.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
No, no, they sent nobody. It was a zoom with
the news department. This is a huge story inside of
the California on top of you zoomed. I zoomed with
the news department at three o'clock. The ABC seven Local
News want to put it up right away, right in
that an night when they got on the air a
bloc first segment three o'clock today. I've been told it's
(05:36):
one of the top stories, barring a car chase or
something really dramatic. I will be on with I think
Sid Garcia.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I think it is his name. I hope I'm saying
his name right. I hope it's right.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So you're saying that the story's so big it circumvented
Fuchs Follies, yep, and you went straight to the anchored desk.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I will be There's a report with KBC seven's Sid Garcia,
and I am part of that report. Reaction from southern California,
especially the reaction that all the negativity coming in towards
LA from everybody else around the country, that the Dodgers
are ruining baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Where you defend versus everyone man LA versus everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Upside down LA on my hat? What does it mean?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I mean like Matt used to defend the shield, I
defended the Dodgers with honor today on ABC seven. Hopefully
that gets noted and recognized by the people over the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You think, like Lon Rosan's gonna be watching KABC at
three o'clock and he's gonna say, like, hey, that Tim
Kates really took. He really took a few slings and
arrows for the Blue today.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He really stepped up. And you know he also killed
that one guy from Boston. This guy's done a lot
for us.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
He's on the front lines really defending the honor of
Kron and the Dodgers. So at three o'clock today, ABC
seven A block three oh five ish, you'll see me
on the Cid Garcia Report.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Now, why well, we'll still be on the air, but
we're gonna we're gonna have to counter program pe.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, why did can reach out to uh? At three
o'clock we'll be doing the fun fact that Quickets and
the Lessons learned. Right, there's no way Kate's is going
to be able to beat that.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I'll have one eye on ABC seven at three o'clock today.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm gonna have to really dig deep for a super
cool final hour fun fact to make sure people aren't
tuning into ABC seven.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
On that good job by you.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, by me go with something antiquated and weird. Man.
All right, let's do that then, So congratulation. If Matt
and I were in the building today, do you think
we would have gotten this interview?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
No, they wanted somebody to talk Dodgers, not talk farting
around and you know, talk.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
About everything else.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Laughing at us? Is that.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
David will be on MLB network a little after two o'clock.
I'll be on Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Why are you you're counter programming against us?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Man, Well, I'm just saying it's a big story, not
cool man.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Outlets are asking for should have been on You should
have been on with fo Kates. You should have said no,
I can't go in the midday. Guys. Put me in
the five o'clock A block, not the three o'clock a block.
It's going to replay, Matt.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You know this the world of news three o'clocks like
the test, you know, they see how it goes out
there up this is big reaction.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
This has got to go at four, five and eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And what about vast Area said, probably gonna repeat his
thing over and over again. But it's not like we
don't have our own big stories. It's a frog Man
Friday on the Petroson Money Show. That's always been a
huge on a frog Man Friday and the Patterson Money
Show celebrates the sea. We celebrate what it's like because
(08:44):
we are all islands in a common seat. We also
celebrate the Pacific Ocean and those that protect us from
it lifeguards, Coast Guard Us, maybe Harbor Petrum. Well, we
don't celebrate anybody more than we celebrated a birthday this week.
(09:06):
The late Lloyd Bridges, father of Jet who takes a
lot of corporate commercial money now, and most importantly the
actor that played Mike Nelson and the greatest television show
ever produced, Seahawk.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
There aren't many Latin American countries where you'd have to
sneak a dive to find a sunken US plane.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
San Migual was the exception.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
While my companions topside pretended to be fishing, I had
gotten to the wrecked aircraft and found what I had
been sent after a simple looking at Tashay case, which
was actually a State Department diplomatic pouch. What was in
it I didn't know, but it was important enough to
stir up all this secret activity. Now as I headed
(09:58):
for the surface, I knew better than to relax. This
job wouldn't be over till the pouch was safely back
in the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Saint Thomas Howe, what are you nuts?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
We gotta get that stuff to Florida. Do you know
what it's like these days? We got the freaking Navy everywhere.
You got frog Man, You've got EAC two's with the
satellite tracking stuff. You've got the freaking Felt two night
assault shoppers.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Up the ass.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
We're losing one out of every nine loads. It's no
duck walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
What do you suggest as reasonable.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Selambro Dodgers to check after this scene? So so we
(11:04):
do press forward. Top Story of the day Coming up next,
we'll have a word number Song of the day. David
Massey will come on to have his balls washed, about
washing the Dodgers balls and so on and so forth,
Dead and alive, fun fact quick hits. Then your lessons
(11:24):
learned and good night, Irene. That is scheduled talk. And
to continue schedule talk, we are working on MLK Day
Rogan and Rodney are not, much to the chagrin of some,
but we're not going to be on to like four
because there's a noon Clipper game.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Clipper in the Nation's capital with a nooner against the Whiz.
Have you talked to Adam since he got upset with
us for putting his cat's a buttthole on our on
our show, and yeah, they get on.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
The radio with him on Fox.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So he's fine. He's not gonna like extense scheme, kind
of stick it in our urethra.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
He's fine if he needs twenty minutes for somebody to
kill on overnights on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know
how he feels straight to day, but I would say
different at him now. He's okay. He did go on
Rogan and Rodney for one of his special segments to
talk about the great Clipper turnaround, so he got to
be today or yesterday, yesterday, So he's got to be
(12:22):
feeling pretty good about all that. And I think a
lot of people, as Dodger fans on your Dodger station,
are feeling pretty good. I would like to hear from
KABC three o'clock star Tim Kaits, another Dodger announcer, on
how big of a deal this is? Is Kyle Tucker
(12:44):
a game changer for the Dodgers or another star and
a consolation of stars.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
He's just another star to go along with what they have, right.
I mean, he's not a game changer because they've won
without him already, but certainly you look at what he
does to this lineup. He makes it tough one through nine,
and I think for a lot of d f Certainly
we heard a lot of it here on Petro Some Money,
and I heard it on Dodger Talk when I did it, Dave,
here's it every night. The defense of ta Oscar Hernandez
and right field was certainly leaving a lot to be desired.
(13:10):
So now that he moves to left field and Kyle Tucker,
who's a former Gold Glove winner in right field, takes
over that outfield's pretty good for the Dodgers. And one
through nine Andy po has defensively can still continue to
give fanta.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I mean, look at one through nine, we're all around great.
Oscar Hernandez. Of course, the penchant for the biggest hits
in the game's biggest moments.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Where's the worst? Goodness?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Where's the hiccup in this line? Is it Andy pae Has,
Is it Tommy Edmund?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know where? Where's where's the breath that you can
come up for air?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
If you're a pitcher against this Dodgers team.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, you're gonna have a triple hole down. That's what
you're gonna have with this lineup. No chance to.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Breathe, No, just gonna suffocate and die.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's it, man, Starting pitchers didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Die on the mound.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It's over. It's totally over. And uh And that wasn't
the only big move. We have two other big moves
in the world of baseball that happened, and one of
them involves our old friend, the hatless one, Gavin Lux.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Did you guys see this last night?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Kind of a sneaky three way trade between the Tampa
Bay Rays, the La Angels and the Cincinnati Reds and
former maybe sneaky, well, the Kyle Tucker trade got sin
he got announced. I just think guy way just like
the Angels, you know, they make this trade.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Because it made it sneaky mat as it was dressed
up like the guy on those Neighborhood Watch signs.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Right, just look just the eyes.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, Gavin Lux, friend of the show, is gonna have
to wear his hat a lot down in Tampa because
it is on there and he humid. I mean, he
was in Cincinnati last year, had a good season, going
into the final year of his rookie contract. Will be
a free agent after next October. Gavin Lux. Now he's
third team in the big leagues. He's going to the
Tampa Bay Rays in twenty twenty six, Old Luxy, you
(14:50):
can have to wear that hat there in the hot
sun of that George Steinbrenner Field.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
They're in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Oh right, they play in the minor league stadium still
with the tornado having ripped the roof off their joint.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It was a hurricane, but today it was it was
a cyclone today. Boba Schett signs as well, right, but
not with the Dodgers. And the Dodgers Steve was humiliated.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He was humiliated when because look like you're you're worth
fifty billion dollars. Why are you getting into Twitter arguments
with fans that are saying they heard Kyle Tucker's not
signing with the Mets and he says, let me know
when there's smoke, you know, and a pope sort of
the way they say, you know what, I don't know
if you know about this, but the pope when there's
white smoke, that's how you know the Pope got you
(15:35):
know this? But there is a freedom training for those
of you who don't know what that was.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I learned about the Pope white black smoke through like
everybody else in the modern world, Dan Brown and as
many books.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Right, yeah, have you have you read it yet?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
My Maian Angels Demons?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Or have you read Angels and Demons? You think the
other one's good, This thing's even better. He decided doing fans.
So Bashett he over I don't know if you want
to say you overpaid twenty four million bucks a year
on a three years, four year deal something like that,
or I'm sorry, forty two million dollars on a three
year deal for Boba Chet to make sure he could
(16:11):
have his smoke of his own. You know, they put
the white smoke out with the Boba Schett. So congratulations
to dead.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Now what about those that say this guy's twenty nine
years old just like all the other old Dodgers. You
don't need more. Thirty year old Oldie Olson's running around
out there. Why is he so old? What's your answer
to that, Tim Kats, Dodger broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, he's twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
What would you say to Roberto in Lapuente who called
in and said this guy's too va hole? Well, repert
to me, pot of Mekipo.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Appreciate the phone call, thanks for checking in here on
Dodger Talk. He's twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'll take your answer off the air.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I appreciate the phone call calling hang up on him.
I thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
This is a guy who's been hurt the last two
years a shin injury, missed all of September, if not
most of it, because of a calf injury in twenty
twenty five. But when healthy, thirty home run, you know,
an MVP type season back in twenty twenty two or
three in Houston. This is a guy who's a Silver
Slug Award winner, Gold Glove winner. When he's healthy, he's
(17:11):
really good. We just need him to be healthy. I
like it, and we're gonna make sure he's healthy. That's
what we're gonna do. Pee, that's our part of this.
Kates can break it all down. Statistically, look at the
postseason numbers versus the September numbers, and how about what
he did in July. There was a six week stretch
where he was the best ops in baseball. What we
can do is, we're gonna keep him healthy.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, I know how to do that. We're gonna call
him on the phone and we're going to play Lebron's
routine for him that he gave to Dan Wiki the
other day in the media. One Mark Walter hand washing
the other. And if he gets up and he uses
his leg sleeves, and he does his cold tub, and
he does his lifting, and he does his activation, and
(17:53):
he plays his special golf games and different things like that,
perhaps Kyle Tucker, much like Lebron James, we'll be able
to defy the burden of aging that catches up with
the rest of us but doesn't catch up with Lebron.
I like it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh, I'm sorry I should have said nice, because that's
how I feel about that statement.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I mean, how else, how else do you suggest we
keep Kyle Tucker healthy?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
While I was thinking cold tub, that's what I mean. Yeah,
So you hit it right on the head.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Nice, We'll be right.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
On the cold tub. Oh yeah, brog got nicole tub.
We got in a hyperbaric chamber. I did a hyperbar chamber.
I took a net.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Wait wait a second, he woke up cold tub, hyperbaric
chamber and then a nap again, didn't just wake up, Broug.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Gott nicole table, hyperbaric chamber. I did a hyper bear chamber.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I took a mat damn.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Then I played U P G A E A golf
Nice for a little bit, as I normally take my
legs for forty five minutes. And I took a shower,
got dressed, and uh headed here. And once I got here,
I did my normal game day routine, activation, treatment, rehabing, stretching, lifting,
(19:18):
mentally doing everything while I watch you TPG on a TV.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Nice. Nice, We'll be right back. We will have the
top story of the day featuring the voice of the Bolts.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
How'd you get all, Lebron? What freeway did you take?
Did you take side streets?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Pico?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The whole way jet pack is what I took.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's an unfortunate thing, but we do have to take
a break. It's also unfortunate that the Dodger's lightning bolt
has been extinguished. However, the NFL continues, and Matt Mundy
Smith will be here with the top story of the day,
as opposed to in Denver this weekend. It's unfortunate, deeply
(20:05):
and perhaps part of the reason for some of the
sour file like taste in the mouths of the show
this week. But we're still happy to be with you,
still happy to be delivering great sports talk. We'll be
right back. This is Petro send Money on demand demand.
(20:31):
Thank you for being part of the experience of great
sports talk. In a week that has been another week
in great sports talk. But this week has seen many
things and we will remember them all and lessons learned
in our final hour. Some of those things are the
(20:53):
Dodgers signing a very exciting outfielder named Kyle Tucker, David
Vasse winning a major award, the Lakers falling down a
slippery slope that the Clippers are climbing up, and the
Rams about to freeze their sacks off. It is now
(21:15):
time for the top Starter, the top story of the Well.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I guess we'll have to call it the Dodger Power Hour.
Talked to Tim Kates in the last segment, talked about
it there for a brief moment and only in Los
Angeles on your home of the Dodgers could a baseball
team on January sixteenth steal all the headlines from a
football team that won a Super Bowl a couple seasons ago,
(21:44):
is the current favorite by the oddsmakers to win a
Super Bowl again. And yet all the talk in town
and all the talk amongst local sports broadcasters the Dodgers
KBC three o'clock Straight out the Gate, Tim k is
the Dodgers again in an offseason, cementing their fate as
(22:07):
the franchise that wants to ruin baseball going into a
twenty twenty six offseason in which the collective bargaining agreement
will be up for renegotiation, and other teams and other players.
And this is the quote that got me to put
this together for our top story. Actually was all the
excitement around town. Jeff Passen, who broke the story yesterday,
(22:31):
was quoted on his whatever, I don't know, pick your show.
He probably did all fifty of them, you know. The
first I believe.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This is for the people of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yes. Quote. Fans don't feel like they have an opportunity
going into the season, and some players too that was
his quote, which is infuriating because we know from all
of our extended conversations following Dodger postseason failures and other
(23:07):
teams rubbing it into their face about winning one hundred
plus games in the regular season coming up short in
the divisional round, the wildcard round, or the Championship Series round,
or the World Series against the Astros and the Red Sox,
that the playoffs are a different animal. And you can,
(23:27):
and obviously you look at the way it played out
last year. They were the road team in the divisional round,
they were a wild card team. They were the road
team in the league Championship Series. They were the road
team in the World Series. The only series they had
home field advantage was the wild card round, in which
they waxed the Cincinnati Reds. You know what happens when
(23:51):
you lose game one, completely tilts the series in favor
of the team that gets out with that victory, and
they had to win game one on the road in
every single series. They did not do that in the
World Series, and it was not an easy road. In
twenty twenty five, it was not a even when even
with the sweep of the Brewers, you can think about
(24:12):
having Roki Sasaki on the ropes at the end of
Game one, Blake trying an incredibly shaky coming in to
close that thing out two to one.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people had a
lot of chances to beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Feels like it right when you're down three games to two,
having lost two of three at home to the Blue Jays,
going back to the furthest well to a different country,
crossing a border there to take on Toronto in Toronto,
winning Game three. I think it was was the eighteen
inning game. Having a guy like Will Klein pitch four
(24:47):
innings in an eighteen inning game, calling a starter out
of the bullpen to finish off a Game seven in
which your closer gave up a lead in the top
of the ninth inning. Like that, That is not room baseball.
That is producing the greatest World Series that the game
has ever seen. Like, Kyle Tucker is not Sho Hail Tani.
(25:08):
He's not Juan Soto, he's not Yamamoto, he's not Trek Skobel.
He is the number one free agent on the twenty
twenty five twenty twenty six market.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
And the Dodger signed him.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, he was the best player available and if you
had the cash to pay him so. And this is
the thing about this deal, and Tim Kates alluded to
it in the last segment. So rarely does a player
choose this path, the short term contract, higher annual salary.
This was I think a Scales tipping moment because you
(25:40):
saw it get doubled down on by the Mets with
Boba Schett and their three year, forty two million per
deal with a guy that many projected was going to
make but in the high twenties, low thirties. And they
did that, as I'm guessing, a panic slash reactionary move.
They probably thought that Kyle Tucker was theirs. But the
(26:00):
Dodgers were like, all right, here's a massive, massive pile
of money for four years of your time. And the
one thing that's making the rounds because Padre fans are
so super sad today, is that they are paying Kyle
Tucker nearly the same amount of money for four years
that Fernando Tatis is going to make over the next nine.
And that's supposed to be a dig at the Dodgers
(26:22):
that they are so rich and so carefree about spending
that they can afford to pay a guy for four seasons.
What the Padres can afford to pay someone for nine.
If you were to pull front office people and ask
which one of those contracts they'd rather have, they take
the guy on the four year deal because if it
goes so incredibly well and they win a couple more hell,
(26:45):
just one more World Series in the two years before
he opts out, and Tucker plays exceptionally, well, you know
they're gonna do. They're gonna lock him up for another
four year deal with an opt out after two. And
if that doesn't happen, if he continues to slide from
his dominute numbers in Houston as he did in Chicago
last year that was marred by a little bit of injury, think,
guess what you're out here about what it's like.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
To be a left handed hitter at Wrigley Field. I
heard David Vasse speak about that very profusely last night.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
But you're right back in the market finding the next
player that wants to cash in that massive fifty million
per year paycheck. And look, I think about the Dodgers
trying to do this back in twenty eighteen, when they
were castigated for having the audacity to think that Bryce
Harper would take a four year, one hundred and eighty
(27:34):
million dollar deal. Here is forty five million bucks per
year Bryce Harper. That is ten million more dollars than
the next high actually was like thirteen million more than
the next highest paid player in the league per year.
Instead of taking that one hundred and eighty million dollar
four year deal, he signed for thirteen and three thirty
(27:54):
one hundred and fifty million more guaranteed for nine more years,
nearly tripple the time for less than half the money.
Understand guys, guaranteed three hundred and thirty million bucks instead
of one hundred and eighty Fine, But had he taken
the Dodgers deal, he'd have been a free agent again
in twenty twenty three, and he would have absolutely, without
(28:16):
question banked one hundred and fifty million bucks for five,
probably four years, as opposed to having nine left on
his deal. And what did we hear this offseason from
his general manager? Not sure if Bryce is still elite,
don't know if he's still a face of the franchise
type of Oh, well, that's good to know because you
(28:37):
only got him for eight more years. So yeah, this
is this is a deal that is not nine years
of tattoos, but four years of a guy that is
twenty nine, smack in the middle of his prime. And
I would assume every team in baseball would love to
be able to accomplish this. The Dodgers just so happened
to be the one that outdueled the Mets, who were willing,
(28:59):
I'm sure to pay him the exact same amount of money.
And you know what happened. Right when we signed off
as it was meant to be, you mentioned that is
that about to be? Yeah, that's day here.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
And I was worried. I was worried about this guy
and whether or not he loves baseball. I hope he
loves baseball enough to accept that money.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Well, some saying that he doesn't deserve to be the
third highest player in baseball. Of course he does, because
that's the deal that was offered to him, and that's
the deal that he took. And if the Dodgers ruined
baseball last year, maybe they're ruining it ruining it a
little bit less this year because their payroll is lower.
(29:39):
They actually have a lower payroll right now this year,
having signed Edwin Diaz to the largest annual value per
year as a closer contract, and after signing Kyle Tucker
to the third highest annual average salary contract, they are
still paying less than they did on their books last year.
(30:01):
So if they were able to make a billion dollars
gross last year, pocket three hundred million bucks and move
ahead to this year, don't be surprised if there are
more moves that will lead the Dodgers to ruin baseball
and nothing is going to change. Rob Manfred's not the
worst commissioner in the history of the world because he
can't get this figured out. Because they should have lost
(30:23):
to the freaking Blue Jays in the World Series. They
probably should have lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in the
Divisional round had their manager not yanked their freaking starters
early and let the Dodgers hammer away at a bullpen.
While Dave Roberts was more than content to let his
guys go an inning or two longer, hell, in the
case of Yamamoto, ten innings longer than he was in
(30:44):
the regular season, they're not running rough shot over the league.
They should have lost to the Blue Jays, bar none,
no questions asked, and they still managed to gut that
thing out and get a World series victory. So the
idea from passing that quote fans don't feel like they
have an operation tunity going into the season, and some
players too. Oh, it's freaking pathetic. It is not a
(31:07):
competitor's mindset. If you just watched the freaking postseason last
year and how gutsy the Dodgers were, how clutch they were,
and how their best players stood up when their best
was required as opposed to rolling over and losing these series.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, Matt, that was a great defense of the Dodgers,
and I hope they hearn it on KABC and the
next time they want to book somebody to talk about
the Dodgers, the zoom' on a zoom they step on
Tim Kats's head like Frogger and jump over the stream
to you, I love it or even me. I mean
(31:45):
I could talk about that too. I can say you.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Saw Garcia, would be lucky to have you pee.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
When that guy slid into home plate, it was just
an inch away, right, the inch away, good things, it's
footing down. He picked it up, but he put it
back down. They couldn't overturn it after the call was
the call on the field either, That's how close it was.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Right, and players don't feel like they have an opportunity
to win the World Series. Players said that to Jeff Passing.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
You think Will kleinb thought he had an opportunity to
win the World Series when he was sitting around waiting
for a promotion.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Don't you know.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
We'll be back. We will have some reaction to this,
and Matt's gonna have to defend his opinion. That was
a hot sports take and there's gonna be a trial
by fire in the next segment. There's gonna be a
war to streets. Text tosos will do your word number.
Song of the day David Vase will join us to
(32:47):
discuss this big move Dodgers back to back champs and
continuing to make history on a seventy LA Sports. You're
home of the Yazoo, Petros Papadakis, Mat Money. This is
Petro Send Money on demand.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Going till three thirty. Clipper Basketball in Toronto, Tips at
four thirty. Remember this weekend, we have got all the
NFL playoff games, three divisional games, and we are your
home of Super Bowl sixty. That this on Sunday, February sixth.
But you want Bills Broncos, we got it. Forty nine
Ers v. Seahawks, we got it. Patriots v. Texans, we
(33:29):
got it all weekend long.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
And thank you for listening. And don't forget we have
a big event coming up a week from yesterday. Tim
Katz is even gonna come down because we have a
live guest and he feels very responsible in that case
if there is a lie.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said I might come down.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Well, yeah, that was before you got booked on a
zoom on KBC.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
I mean I have to keep all my options on
fancy pants. No, I don't want to be pinned down
in Earth when they need me on ABC seven with Sidra.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's a great point. That's before the Kyle Tucker signing.
Is when you said that you were gonna come down.
And now that Kyle Tucker is going to be a Dodger,
things could change. But we, Matt and I for sure
are going to be there live at the BJ's restaurant
in brew House at the Marketplace in Irvine. That show
pops off at three o'clock and goes to six, and
(34:26):
then after that you'll get fully functional employee Adam because
it will be Clippers, Lakers and isn't it a little
bit more spicy than the last time the Clippers and
Lakers played. And we were like, all the Clippers are
gonna lose, They're gonna suck. They suck, and then they
beat the Lakers, and then they turned it around over
the holidays, and look at us now riding the wave,
(34:49):
having the time of his life. We have some textile so.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Line and brought to you by your so called Toyota.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
We make it easy, Matt. Some of these are directed
at you, so get ready to defend yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
It's usually bad.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Defend yourself at all times. So the Dodgers have nine
contracts that are over one hundred million each. Nine. You
think that's good for baseball or fair? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
And fair is abiding by the rules. Those are the
rules currently in baseball. And paying bunch of people a
bunch of money doesn't always equal success. Just ask the Mets, right,
did it work out for them?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Hey, Buttholes. It allows seven to eight teams to compete.
The other twenty two have no chance. What do you
say to that, Matt?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Spend your money more wisely. The Cincinnati Reds made the
playoffs last year. The Milwaukee Brewers made the postseason last year.
So Tampa Ray's have been in the World Series, have
made the postseason multiple times. So you know, spend better, draft,
better coach, better play more clutch, and you too could
(36:15):
win a World Series.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
See I just got another text that says Kates is
on Fuchs Follies question mark. No, Kates has transcended. Rob
Fukusaki had gone straight to the anchor desk. That's how big,
as Matt intimated in the last segment. This Kyle Tucker
news is in Los Angeles. It has slapped Matthew Stafford
(36:36):
and his family off of the number one story and
the scene going to freeze their genitals off. In beautiful Chicago.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
It's not close. Like, no one is talking about the
Rams being the Super Bowl favorites since seven pm last night.
It is one hundred percent about the Dodger signing Kyle
Tucker and whether or not again they are going to
ruin base.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Yes, Tim, I just visualized the producer over KBC seven
TV like we got this idea, We're gonna bring this
guy from Dodgers Radio over, what do you think? And
Fuchs is like yep, yep, yep, and some news producer
comes running down the hall pastic cubicles and goes, give.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Me that we're using it for the news. Bitches a block.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Did you know what I would have said, you ignorant
slut Jane to that what you just said, like, that's
a really stupid thing. But then after I heard about
something very and I heard about this from the Channel
eleven from an insider over there. Uh huh that there
was a big Now this was when Alex was still
there before he left for CNN, I guess. But there
(37:41):
was a huge, huge power struggle at the very top
of Channel eleven as to who was going to announce
who's going to be the first face on the air
after the Dodgers World series clincher on Channel eleven. And
it happened in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five.
(38:01):
Is it going to be Krasca or is it going
to be Alex? Is it gonna be Kraska or is
it going to be Alex? And it was a big deal.
So if somebody took that paper right out of Fukusaki's
hand and gave it to the anchor, I guarantee you
bad feelings all around down the street at KABC.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Who was the first person on the air at Fox.
I am intrigued to know who was on the air first.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I think Alex took it from him, and Alex to
see you taking it, but he shot him.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
He shot him.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
No, no, I'm joking about that last night.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean, that's nothing to joke about. When it comes
to Kraska dud, You're right, and I'm sorry, and I'm
sorry uncalled for. I'd like to point out not that
anybody really cares. Three playoff teams, Guardians, Brewers, Reds your
twenty fifth, twenty third, and twenty second ranked payroll last year.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
That's good information.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
This says, wow, you and Matt's sound like the abusive
husband not letting their wife have any independence or shine.
Let Tim get his shine on Channel four, Channel seven,
you doche.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Seven Kbcson Garcia.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Come on, I don't just get it at four or
five pm.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I don't. I don't lament Tim's moment. I don't if
I lamend fast on MLB network, slaying it around all
day like a helicopter. This says, you can't be talking
farts on KBC. That's why they didn't want you, idiots exactly.
Fair point.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Fair point Isabelle wants to know win the press conference.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Hold on, I'm gonna blight my fort check it out.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Pan down with Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Let me show you, let me show you something that's
really gonna excite the city. Uh, I don't know. Will
the press conference be. It's not gonna be over the weekend, right,
It'll be next week.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
Yeah, I mean it's still not official. They'll have to
have the whole official.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Is everybody gonna have to show up like they did
for you, Oshiamamoto and all that, or is it going
to be more absolutely well, look more understated, like Eddie
Dias was kind of understated, right, I mean, you're paying
the guy the second most per year in the history
of baseball.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I'd expect more than a zoomer.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
How many of these can we have?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
They have to go through the proper ritual, which is,
do the presser, come on the petros and money show,
talk to essay, perform admirably, and we shower you with
praise for the entirety of your career here, leave us
wanting and be castigated immediately.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
You've created enemies and never show up again. You're right,
those are the things that have to come out of it.
But we have to be on the air that day
for it to happen, So I hope it's not on
the weekend now.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
Just to clarify, he was not on the twenty seventeen
astros Cheating World Series team.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Was that alleged.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I just want to make sure people are understand it's
only twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
He's a kid. He was not on that child. He's
only twenty nine. I'm kind of old for baseball though,
twenty nine. The funniest thing about these signings is acting
if anybody cares about who broke the story. It's not
like it was going to be kept a secret if
Jeff pass It didn't break it like Opening Day out
of Nowhere and we see Tucker in the outfield and go,
(41:22):
oh my god, I missed this one. It's a good
point by you, sir. You're right. Uh, somebody would have eventually,
if that nobody broke the story, the Dodgers would have
put it out in a press release, which they will
at some point, saying we signed this guy and here's
(41:42):
what's happening, and shar it out.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah, do you guys really care about that?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
Like today, John Hayman went back and he's like, just
going back on you know, properly crediting who broke the story.
Jeff pass It had a first Robert Murray had more details.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
It means something to these guys.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yes, it helps them with their you know, I guess
their rank in the world of insiders and the money
they can demand.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Which is why, like Vassa had that information about the
contract before anybody else did. But Vassay wisely doesn't play
the Twitter game and try to ruffle the Twitter feathers. Feathers.
He uses his medium radio his platform, and gives the
Dodger fans on Dodger Radio the proper place for it
(42:29):
to be procured, gives them the contract details, doesn't tweet
it out, so he doesn't ruffle the feathers of the
Passings and the Haymans and the jpms of the world. However,
the world keeps on turning. This was handled professionally by everybody, Matt.
It's like golf when everybody uses the proper etiquette. You
know what I mean, exactly right, don't you say? Why?
Speaker 2 (42:52):
That's why you get shouted out by Elizabeth Olsen because
she's an ardent follower of Dodger toss.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
She loves Yeah, Midolson is very very into the etiquette
as far as who's credited for breaking news and things
of that nature. This says, I've used Matts, he's a
tall drink of water. When describing the tall guy to
my wife, she looked at me and said she'd never
heard a man describe another man that way, and that
(43:18):
it was gay. Thanks Matt. Not not that there's anything
wrong with being gay. A tall drink of water is
I've used that in the PA. I remember, Uh, it's
it's a very common saying, but it is not. Uh,
it's antiquated, I guess. I mean. I remember many many
(43:40):
years ago being with the great Todd Donaho, whose son
was on one of the Harrington's Heart High teams. Who's
on and Todd we were sitting like with these other
people and there was this one kid who was a
quarterback like working out. I was like, that's a quarterback
and he's like six' three or, something you, Know AND
i was, Like, wow he's a he's a tall drink of.
(44:00):
Water and the kid's mom was, like what the hell's
that supposed to? Be like, nothing he's, Tall like it's.
Not it's not a disparaging. Comment what's the matter with you.
People it is not, disparaging nor is it. Gay, okay
and there's not anything wrong with it being. Gay but
it's not disparaging or. Gay it's just an old, saying
(44:23):
like When matt calls somebody a wise. Acre it's just.
Old it's not. Gay in, fact in old times gay
used to mean something very different.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
A.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Cigarette, no that's something else In, England. Matt would you
like to say what it? Is? Nope would you like
to talk about? It?
Speaker 4 (44:46):
Nope has anybody checked On Daniel, jeremiah by the, WAY
i saw On twitter he was going back and forth
With Derek, carr who's a Huge dodger, fan and by the,
way was on scam back In october talking about The.
Dodgers but has anybody checked ON dj Mister, PADRE.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I have, no, uh and not checked on the uh
the widespread eyes of that cub fan, either who Had
Kyle tucker last?
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Year? Yeah other?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
WORD i believe it is her?
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Name what is, it bri it's not.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
With the space between her, eyes the size of the
sewing woman. Alone, no she's gonna put herself out there
and drop f bombs and scream into the.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Camera have her The cubs have. Her The New York
yankees Have traturo's, brother all angry running around out. There
if you guys want to understand what it's like for
baseball insiders about who broke the story and and trying
to figure out who gets, credit it's sort of like
(45:44):
the blunt rotation for a bunch of. Stoners you, know
that's the proper etiquette is very very, important and people
are very strong sticklers for it being adhered.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
To Justa brie by the, Way, Matt, yeah, yeah THE
f word gets thrown, Around not, freeman by the, way not.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Freeman it's the OTHER f word run around a, lot.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
And like apparently that's that's what's considered. Entertainment in SIX
i saw so much bald headed padre guide dropping three
HUNDRED f bombs screaming into the camera about how unfair this.
Is you'd win thousand.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
Views you'd wish these people could be more mature about
being dominated by The dodgers and their head being underneath
The dodger boot all these. Years you think they could
be more mature about, it, indeed and just take. IT
i mean That Toronto Blue jays were pretty mature about. It,
oh they should have won The World. Series they handled
it very. Well absolutely That Ernie clement Was. Prince we'll

It is an early day in Great Sports Talk on
this Friday. Not because we're trying to get a jump
on the weekend, though I guess that would be a
nice opportunity since most people have a three day weekend
coming up. No, it is because the Clippers are in
Canada to take on the Toronto Raptor, so fully Functional
(01:50):
employee Adham will be here. He will be along at
one excuse me at three point thirty. We are starting
here at one o'clock and fully funye Anam will be
around at three point thirty, So just two and a
half hours of great sports talk to talk about the
Dodgers and Kyle Tucker and all that. David Vassi will
(02:12):
join us in the very next hour to celebrate that,
and we are hopeful Hopeful music at noon. Hopeful music
at noon, hopeful that everybody feels great about what the
Dodgers are doing. If you're not a Dodger fan, I
(02:34):
mean if yeah, if you're not, you would be right
to think that the Dodgers can win it because they've
won the last two and they seem to have improved
their team even more. They got a closer, they got
an outfielder, They've got the superpower posse of Otanimoki and
Freddie and the House. They got Yoshi Yamamoto and snell
(02:59):
Zilla calling in on radio shows. There's only one thing
that can stop the Dodgers. Man as we listen to
Japanese music in the background, and that's what the Scourge
of the World Baseball Classic. What if something happens so well, Tony,
what if something happens to Yoshi? What if you f u?
(03:21):
So we'll see what happens as we discuss it further.
But Kyle Tucker, right at the end of our show,
like one minute left on the show, becomes a Dodger.
David Vassay gets on air with Dodger Talk with the
breaking news that Jeff Passing had first, but Vassay did
(03:41):
have contract details on great to have it first, to
have it anybody else. Yes, that was very, very impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And are they giving him credit for that? No, nobody
gave him credit for it. The a holes that they are.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Do they call me Angus the bridge builder. No, even
though I built that with me two hands right here,
they do not call me that. F one goat. I'm
happy that it happened how it happened, so Dave could
get all the shine, and I'm happy that Dave had
(04:17):
those details.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Our own.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Tim Kates, I believe was in position earlier today at
work in ABC seven KABC Fuchs Follies Rob Fukasaki, who
was not in attendance.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Very original segment Fuchs Follies.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Not not in not in attendance at the Broadcasters.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Award, no announced by name, but not there to acknowledge.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
He sent his minions to the station today to interview
one Tim Kates on KABC about Kyle Tucker becoming a Dodger.
What can the people of Los Angeles expect to see
you in, Tim Kates shaven did you have a suit
like you did at the Southern California Broadcasters Awards. What happened, well, I.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Just want to correct you just real briefly.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Of Rob Fukuzaki in the sports department.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
They sent Kasaki himself.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
No, no, they sent nobody. It was a zoom with
the news department. This is a huge story inside of
the California on top of you zoomed. I zoomed with
the news department at three o'clock. The ABC seven Local
News want to put it up right away, right in
that an night when they got on the air a
bloc first segment three o'clock today. I've been told it's
(05:36):
one of the top stories, barring a car chase or
something really dramatic. I will be on with I think
Sid Garcia.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I think it is his name. I hope I'm saying
his name right. I hope it's right.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So you're saying that the story's so big it circumvented
Fuchs Follies, yep, and you went straight to the anchored desk.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I will be There's a report with KBC seven's Sid Garcia,
and I am part of that report. Reaction from southern California,
especially the reaction that all the negativity coming in towards
LA from everybody else around the country, that the Dodgers
are ruining baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Where you defend versus everyone man LA versus everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Upside down LA on my hat? What does it mean?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I mean like Matt used to defend the shield, I
defended the Dodgers with honor today on ABC seven. Hopefully
that gets noted and recognized by the people over the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You think, like Lon Rosan's gonna be watching KABC at
three o'clock and he's gonna say, like, hey, that Tim
Kates really took. He really took a few slings and
arrows for the Blue today.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He really stepped up. And you know he also killed
that one guy from Boston. This guy's done a lot
for us.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
He's on the front lines really defending the honor of
Kron and the Dodgers. So at three o'clock today, ABC
seven A block three oh five ish, you'll see me
on the Cid Garcia Report.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Now, why well, we'll still be on the air, but
we're gonna we're gonna have to counter program pe.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, why did can reach out to uh? At three
o'clock we'll be doing the fun fact that Quickets and
the Lessons learned. Right, there's no way Kate's is going
to be able to beat that.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I'll have one eye on ABC seven at three o'clock today.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm gonna have to really dig deep for a super
cool final hour fun fact to make sure people aren't
tuning into ABC seven.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
On that good job by you.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, by me go with something antiquated and weird. Man.
All right, let's do that then, So congratulation. If Matt
and I were in the building today, do you think
we would have gotten this interview?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
No, they wanted somebody to talk Dodgers, not talk farting
around and you know, talk.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
About everything else.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Laughing at us? Is that.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
David will be on MLB network a little after two o'clock.
I'll be on Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Why are you you're counter programming against us?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Man, Well, I'm just saying it's a big story, not
cool man.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Outlets are asking for should have been on You should
have been on with fo Kates. You should have said no,
I can't go in the midday. Guys. Put me in
the five o'clock A block, not the three o'clock a block.
It's going to replay, Matt.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You know this the world of news three o'clocks like
the test, you know, they see how it goes out
there up this is big reaction.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
This has got to go at four, five and eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And what about vast Area said, probably gonna repeat his
thing over and over again. But it's not like we
don't have our own big stories. It's a frog Man
Friday on the Petroson Money Show. That's always been a
huge on a frog Man Friday and the Patterson Money
Show celebrates the sea. We celebrate what it's like because
(08:44):
we are all islands in a common seat. We also
celebrate the Pacific Ocean and those that protect us from
it lifeguards, Coast Guard Us, maybe Harbor Petrum. Well, we
don't celebrate anybody more than we celebrated a birthday this week.
(09:06):
The late Lloyd Bridges, father of Jet who takes a
lot of corporate commercial money now, and most importantly the
actor that played Mike Nelson and the greatest television show
ever produced, Seahawk.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
There aren't many Latin American countries where you'd have to
sneak a dive to find a sunken US plane.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
San Migual was the exception.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
While my companions topside pretended to be fishing, I had
gotten to the wrecked aircraft and found what I had
been sent after a simple looking at Tashay case, which
was actually a State Department diplomatic pouch. What was in
it I didn't know, but it was important enough to
stir up all this secret activity. Now as I headed
(09:58):
for the surface, I knew better than to relax. This
job wouldn't be over till the pouch was safely back
in the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Saint Thomas Howe, what are you nuts?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
We gotta get that stuff to Florida. Do you know
what it's like these days? We got the freaking Navy everywhere.
You got frog Man, You've got EAC two's with the
satellite tracking stuff. You've got the freaking Felt two night
assault shoppers.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Up the ass.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
We're losing one out of every nine loads. It's no
duck walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
What do you suggest as reasonable.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Selambro Dodgers to check after this scene? So so we
(11:04):
do press forward. Top Story of the day Coming up next,
we'll have a word number Song of the day. David
Massey will come on to have his balls washed, about
washing the Dodgers balls and so on and so forth,
Dead and alive, fun fact quick hits. Then your lessons
(11:24):
learned and good night, Irene. That is scheduled talk. And
to continue schedule talk, we are working on MLK Day
Rogan and Rodney are not, much to the chagrin of some,
but we're not going to be on to like four
because there's a noon Clipper game.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Clipper in the Nation's capital with a nooner against the Whiz.
Have you talked to Adam since he got upset with
us for putting his cat's a buttthole on our on
our show, and yeah, they get on.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
The radio with him on Fox.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So he's fine. He's not gonna like extense scheme, kind
of stick it in our urethra.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
He's fine if he needs twenty minutes for somebody to
kill on overnights on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know
how he feels straight to day, but I would say
different at him now. He's okay. He did go on
Rogan and Rodney for one of his special segments to
talk about the great Clipper turnaround, so he got to
be today or yesterday, yesterday, So he's got to be
(12:22):
feeling pretty good about all that. And I think a
lot of people, as Dodger fans on your Dodger station,
are feeling pretty good. I would like to hear from
KABC three o'clock star Tim Kaits, another Dodger announcer, on
how big of a deal this is? Is Kyle Tucker
(12:44):
a game changer for the Dodgers or another star and
a consolation of stars.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
He's just another star to go along with what they have, right.
I mean, he's not a game changer because they've won
without him already, but certainly you look at what he
does to this lineup. He makes it tough one through nine,
and I think for a lot of d f Certainly
we heard a lot of it here on Petro Some Money,
and I heard it on Dodger Talk when I did it, Dave,
here's it every night. The defense of ta Oscar Hernandez
and right field was certainly leaving a lot to be desired.
(13:10):
So now that he moves to left field and Kyle Tucker,
who's a former Gold Glove winner in right field, takes
over that outfield's pretty good for the Dodgers. And one
through nine Andy po has defensively can still continue to
give fanta.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I mean, look at one through nine, we're all around great.
Oscar Hernandez. Of course, the penchant for the biggest hits
in the game's biggest moments.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Where's the worst? Goodness?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Where's the hiccup in this line? Is it Andy pae Has,
Is it Tommy Edmund?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know where? Where's where's the breath that you can
come up for air?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
If you're a pitcher against this Dodgers team.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, you're gonna have a triple hole down. That's what
you're gonna have with this lineup. No chance to.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Breathe, No, just gonna suffocate and die.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's it, man, Starting pitchers didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Die on the mound.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It's over. It's totally over. And uh And that wasn't
the only big move. We have two other big moves
in the world of baseball that happened, and one of
them involves our old friend, the hatless one, Gavin Lux.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Did you guys see this last night?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Kind of a sneaky three way trade between the Tampa
Bay Rays, the La Angels and the Cincinnati Reds and
former maybe sneaky, well, the Kyle Tucker trade got sin
he got announced. I just think guy way just like
the Angels, you know, they make this trade.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Because it made it sneaky mat as it was dressed
up like the guy on those Neighborhood Watch signs.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Right, just look just the eyes.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, Gavin Lux, friend of the show, is gonna have
to wear his hat a lot down in Tampa because
it is on there and he humid. I mean, he
was in Cincinnati last year, had a good season, going
into the final year of his rookie contract. Will be
a free agent after next October. Gavin Lux. Now he's
third team in the big leagues. He's going to the
Tampa Bay Rays in twenty twenty six, Old Luxy, you
(14:50):
can have to wear that hat there in the hot
sun of that George Steinbrenner Field.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
They're in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Oh right, they play in the minor league stadium still
with the tornado having ripped the roof off their joint.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It was a hurricane, but today it was it was
a cyclone today. Boba Schett signs as well, right, but
not with the Dodgers. And the Dodgers Steve was humiliated.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He was humiliated when because look like you're you're worth
fifty billion dollars. Why are you getting into Twitter arguments
with fans that are saying they heard Kyle Tucker's not
signing with the Mets and he says, let me know
when there's smoke, you know, and a pope sort of
the way they say, you know what, I don't know
if you know about this, but the pope when there's
white smoke, that's how you know the Pope got you
(15:35):
know this? But there is a freedom training for those
of you who don't know what that was.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I learned about the Pope white black smoke through like
everybody else in the modern world, Dan Brown and as
many books.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Right, yeah, have you have you read it yet?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
My Maian Angels Demons?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Or have you read Angels and Demons? You think the
other one's good, This thing's even better. He decided doing fans.
So Bashett he over I don't know if you want
to say you overpaid twenty four million bucks a year
on a three years, four year deal something like that,
or I'm sorry, forty two million dollars on a three
year deal for Boba Chet to make sure he could
(16:11):
have his smoke of his own. You know, they put
the white smoke out with the Boba Schett. So congratulations
to dead.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Now what about those that say this guy's twenty nine
years old just like all the other old Dodgers. You
don't need more. Thirty year old Oldie Olson's running around
out there. Why is he so old? What's your answer
to that, Tim Kats, Dodger broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, he's twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
What would you say to Roberto in Lapuente who called
in and said this guy's too va hole? Well, repert
to me, pot of Mekipo.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Appreciate the phone call, thanks for checking in here on
Dodger Talk. He's twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'll take your answer off the air.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I appreciate the phone call calling hang up on him.
I thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
This is a guy who's been hurt the last two
years a shin injury, missed all of September, if not
most of it, because of a calf injury in twenty
twenty five. But when healthy, thirty home run, you know,
an MVP type season back in twenty twenty two or
three in Houston. This is a guy who's a Silver
Slug Award winner, Gold Glove winner. When he's healthy, he's
(17:11):
really good. We just need him to be healthy. I
like it, and we're gonna make sure he's healthy. That's
what we're gonna do. Pee, that's our part of this.
Kates can break it all down. Statistically, look at the
postseason numbers versus the September numbers, and how about what
he did in July. There was a six week stretch
where he was the best ops in baseball. What we
can do is, we're gonna keep him healthy.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, I know how to do that. We're gonna call
him on the phone and we're going to play Lebron's
routine for him that he gave to Dan Wiki the
other day in the media. One Mark Walter hand washing
the other. And if he gets up and he uses
his leg sleeves, and he does his cold tub, and
he does his lifting, and he does his activation, and
(17:53):
he plays his special golf games and different things like that,
perhaps Kyle Tucker, much like Lebron James, we'll be able
to defy the burden of aging that catches up with
the rest of us but doesn't catch up with Lebron.
I like it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh, I'm sorry I should have said nice, because that's
how I feel about that statement.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I mean, how else, how else do you suggest we
keep Kyle Tucker healthy?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
While I was thinking cold tub, that's what I mean. Yeah,
So you hit it right on the head.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Nice, We'll be right.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
On the cold tub. Oh yeah, brog got nicole tub.
We got in a hyperbaric chamber. I did a hyperbar chamber.
I took a net.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Wait wait a second, he woke up cold tub, hyperbaric
chamber and then a nap again, didn't just wake up, Broug.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Gott nicole table, hyperbaric chamber. I did a hyper bear chamber.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I took a mat damn.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Then I played U P G A E A golf
Nice for a little bit, as I normally take my
legs for forty five minutes. And I took a shower,
got dressed, and uh headed here. And once I got here,
I did my normal game day routine, activation, treatment, rehabing, stretching, lifting,
(19:18):
mentally doing everything while I watch you TPG on a TV.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Nice. Nice, We'll be right back. We will have the
top story of the day featuring the voice of the Bolts.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
How'd you get all, Lebron? What freeway did you take?
Did you take side streets?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Pico?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The whole way jet pack is what I took.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's an unfortunate thing, but we do have to take
a break. It's also unfortunate that the Dodger's lightning bolt
has been extinguished. However, the NFL continues, and Matt Mundy
Smith will be here with the top story of the day,
as opposed to in Denver this weekend. It's unfortunate, deeply
(20:05):
and perhaps part of the reason for some of the
sour file like taste in the mouths of the show
this week. But we're still happy to be with you,
still happy to be delivering great sports talk. We'll be
right back. This is Petro send Money on demand demand.
(20:31):
Thank you for being part of the experience of great
sports talk. In a week that has been another week
in great sports talk. But this week has seen many
things and we will remember them all and lessons learned
in our final hour. Some of those things are the
(20:53):
Dodgers signing a very exciting outfielder named Kyle Tucker, David
Vasse winning a major award, the Lakers falling down a
slippery slope that the Clippers are climbing up, and the
Rams about to freeze their sacks off. It is now
(21:15):
time for the top Starter, the top story of the Well.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I guess we'll have to call it the Dodger Power Hour.
Talked to Tim Kates in the last segment, talked about
it there for a brief moment and only in Los
Angeles on your home of the Dodgers could a baseball
team on January sixteenth steal all the headlines from a
football team that won a Super Bowl a couple seasons ago,
(21:44):
is the current favorite by the oddsmakers to win a
Super Bowl again. And yet all the talk in town
and all the talk amongst local sports broadcasters the Dodgers
KBC three o'clock Straight out the Gate, Tim k is
the Dodgers again in an offseason, cementing their fate as
(22:07):
the franchise that wants to ruin baseball going into a
twenty twenty six offseason in which the collective bargaining agreement
will be up for renegotiation, and other teams and other players.
And this is the quote that got me to put
this together for our top story. Actually was all the
excitement around town. Jeff Passen, who broke the story yesterday,
(22:31):
was quoted on his whatever, I don't know, pick your show.
He probably did all fifty of them, you know. The
first I believe.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This is for the people of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yes. Quote. Fans don't feel like they have an opportunity
going into the season, and some players too that was
his quote, which is infuriating because we know from all
of our extended conversations following Dodger postseason failures and other
(23:07):
teams rubbing it into their face about winning one hundred
plus games in the regular season coming up short in
the divisional round, the wildcard round, or the Championship Series round,
or the World Series against the Astros and the Red Sox,
that the playoffs are a different animal. And you can,
(23:27):
and obviously you look at the way it played out
last year. They were the road team in the divisional round,
they were a wild card team. They were the road
team in the league Championship Series. They were the road
team in the World Series. The only series they had
home field advantage was the wild card round, in which
they waxed the Cincinnati Reds. You know what happens when
(23:51):
you lose game one, completely tilts the series in favor
of the team that gets out with that victory, and
they had to win game one on the road in
every single series. They did not do that in the
World Series, and it was not an easy road. In
twenty twenty five, it was not a even when even
with the sweep of the Brewers, you can think about
(24:12):
having Roki Sasaki on the ropes at the end of
Game one, Blake trying an incredibly shaky coming in to
close that thing out two to one.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people had a
lot of chances to beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Feels like it right when you're down three games to two,
having lost two of three at home to the Blue Jays,
going back to the furthest well to a different country,
crossing a border there to take on Toronto in Toronto,
winning Game three. I think it was was the eighteen
inning game. Having a guy like Will Klein pitch four
(24:47):
innings in an eighteen inning game, calling a starter out
of the bullpen to finish off a Game seven in
which your closer gave up a lead in the top
of the ninth inning. Like that, That is not room baseball.
That is producing the greatest World Series that the game
has ever seen. Like, Kyle Tucker is not Sho Hail Tani.
(25:08):
He's not Juan Soto, he's not Yamamoto, he's not Trek Skobel.
He is the number one free agent on the twenty
twenty five twenty twenty six market.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
And the Dodger signed him.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, he was the best player available and if you
had the cash to pay him so. And this is
the thing about this deal, and Tim Kates alluded to
it in the last segment. So rarely does a player
choose this path, the short term contract, higher annual salary.
This was I think a Scales tipping moment because you
(25:40):
saw it get doubled down on by the Mets with
Boba Schett and their three year, forty two million per
deal with a guy that many projected was going to
make but in the high twenties, low thirties. And they
did that, as I'm guessing, a panic slash reactionary move.
They probably thought that Kyle Tucker was theirs. But the
(26:00):
Dodgers were like, all right, here's a massive, massive pile
of money for four years of your time. And the
one thing that's making the rounds because Padre fans are
so super sad today, is that they are paying Kyle
Tucker nearly the same amount of money for four years
that Fernando Tatis is going to make over the next nine.
And that's supposed to be a dig at the Dodgers
(26:22):
that they are so rich and so carefree about spending
that they can afford to pay a guy for four seasons.
What the Padres can afford to pay someone for nine.
If you were to pull front office people and ask
which one of those contracts they'd rather have, they take
the guy on the four year deal because if it
goes so incredibly well and they win a couple more hell,
(26:45):
just one more World Series in the two years before
he opts out, and Tucker plays exceptionally, well, you know
they're gonna do. They're gonna lock him up for another
four year deal with an opt out after two. And
if that doesn't happen, if he continues to slide from
his dominute numbers in Houston as he did in Chicago
last year that was marred by a little bit of injury, think,
guess what you're out here about what it's like.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
To be a left handed hitter at Wrigley Field. I
heard David Vasse speak about that very profusely last night.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
But you're right back in the market finding the next
player that wants to cash in that massive fifty million
per year paycheck. And look, I think about the Dodgers
trying to do this back in twenty eighteen, when they
were castigated for having the audacity to think that Bryce
Harper would take a four year, one hundred and eighty
(27:34):
million dollar deal. Here is forty five million bucks per
year Bryce Harper. That is ten million more dollars than
the next high actually was like thirteen million more than
the next highest paid player in the league per year.
Instead of taking that one hundred and eighty million dollar
four year deal, he signed for thirteen and three thirty
(27:54):
one hundred and fifty million more guaranteed for nine more years,
nearly tripple the time for less than half the money.
Understand guys, guaranteed three hundred and thirty million bucks instead
of one hundred and eighty Fine, But had he taken
the Dodgers deal, he'd have been a free agent again
in twenty twenty three, and he would have absolutely, without
(28:16):
question banked one hundred and fifty million bucks for five,
probably four years, as opposed to having nine left on
his deal. And what did we hear this offseason from
his general manager? Not sure if Bryce is still elite,
don't know if he's still a face of the franchise
type of Oh, well, that's good to know because you
(28:37):
only got him for eight more years. So yeah, this
is this is a deal that is not nine years
of tattoos, but four years of a guy that is
twenty nine, smack in the middle of his prime. And
I would assume every team in baseball would love to
be able to accomplish this. The Dodgers just so happened
to be the one that outdueled the Mets, who were willing,
(28:59):
I'm sure to pay him the exact same amount of money.
And you know what happened. Right when we signed off
as it was meant to be, you mentioned that is
that about to be? Yeah, that's day here.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
And I was worried. I was worried about this guy
and whether or not he loves baseball. I hope he
loves baseball enough to accept that money.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Well, some saying that he doesn't deserve to be the
third highest player in baseball. Of course he does, because
that's the deal that was offered to him, and that's
the deal that he took. And if the Dodgers ruined
baseball last year, maybe they're ruining it ruining it a
little bit less this year because their payroll is lower.
(29:39):
They actually have a lower payroll right now this year,
having signed Edwin Diaz to the largest annual value per
year as a closer contract, and after signing Kyle Tucker
to the third highest annual average salary contract, they are
still paying less than they did on their books last year.
(30:01):
So if they were able to make a billion dollars
gross last year, pocket three hundred million bucks and move
ahead to this year, don't be surprised if there are
more moves that will lead the Dodgers to ruin baseball
and nothing is going to change. Rob Manfred's not the
worst commissioner in the history of the world because he
can't get this figured out. Because they should have lost
(30:23):
to the freaking Blue Jays in the World Series. They
probably should have lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in the
Divisional round had their manager not yanked their freaking starters
early and let the Dodgers hammer away at a bullpen.
While Dave Roberts was more than content to let his
guys go an inning or two longer, hell, in the
case of Yamamoto, ten innings longer than he was in
(30:44):
the regular season, they're not running rough shot over the league.
They should have lost to the Blue Jays, bar none,
no questions asked, and they still managed to gut that
thing out and get a World series victory. So the
idea from passing that quote fans don't feel like they
have an operation tunity going into the season, and some
players too. Oh, it's freaking pathetic. It is not a
(31:07):
competitor's mindset. If you just watched the freaking postseason last
year and how gutsy the Dodgers were, how clutch they were,
and how their best players stood up when their best
was required as opposed to rolling over and losing these series.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, Matt, that was a great defense of the Dodgers,
and I hope they hearn it on KABC and the
next time they want to book somebody to talk about
the Dodgers, the zoom' on a zoom they step on
Tim Kats's head like Frogger and jump over the stream
to you, I love it or even me. I mean
(31:45):
I could talk about that too. I can say you.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Saw Garcia, would be lucky to have you pee.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
When that guy slid into home plate, it was just
an inch away, right, the inch away, good things, it's
footing down. He picked it up, but he put it
back down. They couldn't overturn it after the call was
the call on the field either, That's how close it was.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Right, and players don't feel like they have an opportunity
to win the World Series. Players said that to Jeff Passing.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
You think Will kleinb thought he had an opportunity to
win the World Series when he was sitting around waiting
for a promotion.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Don't you know.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
We'll be back. We will have some reaction to this,
and Matt's gonna have to defend his opinion. That was
a hot sports take and there's gonna be a trial
by fire in the next segment. There's gonna be a
war to streets. Text tosos will do your word number.
Song of the day David Vase will join us to
(32:47):
discuss this big move Dodgers back to back champs and
continuing to make history on a seventy LA Sports. You're
home of the Yazoo, Petros Papadakis, Mat Money. This is
Petro Send Money on demand.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Going till three thirty. Clipper Basketball in Toronto, Tips at
four thirty. Remember this weekend, we have got all the
NFL playoff games, three divisional games, and we are your
home of Super Bowl sixty. That this on Sunday, February sixth.
But you want Bills Broncos, we got it. Forty nine
Ers v. Seahawks, we got it. Patriots v. Texans, we
(33:29):
got it all weekend long.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
And thank you for listening. And don't forget we have
a big event coming up a week from yesterday. Tim
Katz is even gonna come down because we have a
live guest and he feels very responsible in that case
if there is a lie.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said I might come down.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Well, yeah, that was before you got booked on a
zoom on KBC.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
I mean I have to keep all my options on
fancy pants. No, I don't want to be pinned down
in Earth when they need me on ABC seven with Sidra.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's a great point. That's before the Kyle Tucker signing.
Is when you said that you were gonna come down.
And now that Kyle Tucker is going to be a Dodger,
things could change. But we, Matt and I for sure
are going to be there live at the BJ's restaurant
in brew House at the Marketplace in Irvine. That show
pops off at three o'clock and goes to six, and
(34:26):
then after that you'll get fully functional employee Adam because
it will be Clippers, Lakers and isn't it a little
bit more spicy than the last time the Clippers and
Lakers played. And we were like, all the Clippers are
gonna lose, They're gonna suck. They suck, and then they
beat the Lakers, and then they turned it around over
the holidays, and look at us now riding the wave,
(34:49):
having the time of his life. We have some textile so.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Line and brought to you by your so called Toyota.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
We make it easy, Matt. Some of these are directed
at you, so get ready to defend yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
It's usually bad.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Defend yourself at all times. So the Dodgers have nine
contracts that are over one hundred million each. Nine. You
think that's good for baseball or fair? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
And fair is abiding by the rules. Those are the
rules currently in baseball. And paying bunch of people a
bunch of money doesn't always equal success. Just ask the Mets, right,
did it work out for them?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Hey, Buttholes. It allows seven to eight teams to compete.
The other twenty two have no chance. What do you
say to that, Matt?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Spend your money more wisely. The Cincinnati Reds made the
playoffs last year. The Milwaukee Brewers made the postseason last year.
So Tampa Ray's have been in the World Series, have
made the postseason multiple times. So you know, spend better, draft,
better coach, better play more clutch, and you too could
(36:15):
win a World Series.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
See I just got another text that says Kates is
on Fuchs Follies question mark. No, Kates has transcended. Rob
Fukusaki had gone straight to the anchor desk. That's how big,
as Matt intimated in the last segment. This Kyle Tucker
news is in Los Angeles. It has slapped Matthew Stafford
(36:36):
and his family off of the number one story and
the scene going to freeze their genitals off. In beautiful Chicago.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
It's not close. Like, no one is talking about the
Rams being the Super Bowl favorites since seven pm last night.
It is one hundred percent about the Dodger signing Kyle
Tucker and whether or not again they are going to
ruin base.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Yes, Tim, I just visualized the producer over KBC seven
TV like we got this idea, We're gonna bring this
guy from Dodgers Radio over, what do you think? And
Fuchs is like yep, yep, yep, and some news producer
comes running down the hall pastic cubicles and goes, give.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Me that we're using it for the news. Bitches a block.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Did you know what I would have said, you ignorant
slut Jane to that what you just said, like, that's
a really stupid thing. But then after I heard about
something very and I heard about this from the Channel
eleven from an insider over there. Uh huh that there
was a big Now this was when Alex was still
there before he left for CNN, I guess. But there
(37:41):
was a huge, huge power struggle at the very top
of Channel eleven as to who was going to announce
who's going to be the first face on the air
after the Dodgers World series clincher on Channel eleven. And
it happened in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five.
(38:01):
Is it going to be Krasca or is it going
to be Alex? Is it gonna be Kraska or is
it going to be Alex? And it was a big deal.
So if somebody took that paper right out of Fukusaki's
hand and gave it to the anchor, I guarantee you
bad feelings all around down the street at KABC.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Who was the first person on the air at Fox.
I am intrigued to know who was on the air first.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I think Alex took it from him, and Alex to
see you taking it, but he shot him.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
He shot him.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
No, no, I'm joking about that last night.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean, that's nothing to joke about. When it comes
to Kraska dud, You're right, and I'm sorry, and I'm
sorry uncalled for. I'd like to point out not that
anybody really cares. Three playoff teams, Guardians, Brewers, Reds your
twenty fifth, twenty third, and twenty second ranked payroll last year.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
That's good information.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
This says, wow, you and Matt's sound like the abusive
husband not letting their wife have any independence or shine.
Let Tim get his shine on Channel four, Channel seven,
you doche.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Seven Kbcson Garcia.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Come on, I don't just get it at four or
five pm.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I don't. I don't lament Tim's moment. I don't if
I lamend fast on MLB network, slaying it around all
day like a helicopter. This says, you can't be talking
farts on KBC. That's why they didn't want you, idiots exactly.
Fair point.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Fair point Isabelle wants to know win the press conference.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Hold on, I'm gonna blight my fort check it out.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Pan down with Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Let me show you, let me show you something that's
really gonna excite the city. Uh, I don't know. Will
the press conference be. It's not gonna be over the weekend, right,
It'll be next week.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
Yeah, I mean it's still not official. They'll have to
have the whole official.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Is everybody gonna have to show up like they did
for you, Oshiamamoto and all that, or is it going
to be more absolutely well, look more understated, like Eddie
Dias was kind of understated, right, I mean, you're paying
the guy the second most per year in the history
of baseball.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I'd expect more than a zoomer.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
How many of these can we have?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
They have to go through the proper ritual, which is,
do the presser, come on the petros and money show,
talk to essay, perform admirably, and we shower you with
praise for the entirety of your career here, leave us
wanting and be castigated immediately.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
You've created enemies and never show up again. You're right,
those are the things that have to come out of it.
But we have to be on the air that day
for it to happen, So I hope it's not on
the weekend now.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
Just to clarify, he was not on the twenty seventeen
astros Cheating World Series team.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Was that alleged.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I just want to make sure people are understand it's
only twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
He's a kid. He was not on that child. He's
only twenty nine. I'm kind of old for baseball though,
twenty nine. The funniest thing about these signings is acting
if anybody cares about who broke the story. It's not
like it was going to be kept a secret if
Jeff pass It didn't break it like Opening Day out
of Nowhere and we see Tucker in the outfield and go,
(41:22):
oh my god, I missed this one. It's a good
point by you, sir. You're right. Uh, somebody would have eventually,
if that nobody broke the story, the Dodgers would have
put it out in a press release, which they will
at some point, saying we signed this guy and here's
(41:42):
what's happening, and shar it out.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah, do you guys really care about that?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
Like today, John Hayman went back and he's like, just
going back on you know, properly crediting who broke the story.
Jeff pass It had a first Robert Murray had more details.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
It means something to these guys.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yes, it helps them with their you know, I guess
their rank in the world of insiders and the money
they can demand.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Which is why, like Vassa had that information about the
contract before anybody else did. But Vassay wisely doesn't play
the Twitter game and try to ruffle the Twitter feathers. Feathers.
He uses his medium radio his platform, and gives the
Dodger fans on Dodger Radio the proper place for it
(42:29):
to be procured, gives them the contract details, doesn't tweet
it out, so he doesn't ruffle the feathers of the
Passings and the Haymans and the jpms of the world. However,
the world keeps on turning. This was handled professionally by everybody, Matt.
It's like golf when everybody uses the proper etiquette. You
know what I mean, exactly right, don't you say? Why?
Speaker 2 (42:52):
That's why you get shouted out by Elizabeth Olsen because
she's an ardent follower of Dodger toss.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
She loves Yeah, Midolson is very very into the etiquette
as far as who's credited for breaking news and things
of that nature. This says, I've used Matts, he's a
tall drink of water. When describing the tall guy to
my wife, she looked at me and said she'd never
heard a man describe another man that way, and that
(43:18):
it was gay. Thanks Matt. Not not that there's anything
wrong with being gay. A tall drink of water is
I've used that in the PA. I remember, Uh, it's
it's a very common saying, but it is not. Uh,
it's antiquated, I guess. I mean. I remember many many
(43:40):
years ago being with the great Todd Donaho, whose son
was on one of the Harrington's Heart High teams. Who's
on and Todd we were sitting like with these other
people and there was this one kid who was a
quarterback like working out. I was like, that's a quarterback
and he's like six' three or, something you, Know AND
i was, Like, wow he's a he's a tall drink of.
(44:00):
Water and the kid's mom was, like what the hell's
that supposed to? Be like, nothing he's, Tall like it's.
Not it's not a disparaging. Comment what's the matter with you.
People it is not, disparaging nor is it. Gay, okay
and there's not anything wrong with it being. Gay but
it's not disparaging or. Gay it's just an old, saying
(44:23):
like When matt calls somebody a wise. Acre it's just.
Old it's not. Gay in, fact in old times gay
used to mean something very different.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
A.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Cigarette, no that's something else In, England. Matt would you
like to say what it? Is? Nope would you like
to talk about? It?
Speaker 4 (44:46):
Nope has anybody checked On Daniel, jeremiah by the, WAY
i saw On twitter he was going back and forth
With Derek, carr who's a Huge dodger, fan and by the,
way was on scam back In october talking about The.
Dodgers but has anybody checked ON dj Mister, PADRE.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I have, no, uh and not checked on the uh
the widespread eyes of that cub fan, either who Had
Kyle tucker last?
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Year? Yeah other?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
WORD i believe it is her?
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Name what is, it bri it's not.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
With the space between her, eyes the size of the
sewing woman. Alone, no she's gonna put herself out there
and drop f bombs and scream into the.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Camera have her The cubs have. Her The New York
yankees Have traturo's, brother all angry running around out. There
if you guys want to understand what it's like for
baseball insiders about who broke the story and and trying
to figure out who gets, credit it's sort of like
(45:44):
the blunt rotation for a bunch of. Stoners you, know
that's the proper etiquette is very very, important and people
are very strong sticklers for it being adhered.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
To Justa brie by the, Way, Matt, yeah, yeah THE
f word gets thrown, Around not, freeman by the, way not.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Freeman it's the OTHER f word run around a, lot.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
And like apparently that's that's what's considered. Entertainment in SIX
i saw so much bald headed padre guide dropping three
HUNDRED f bombs screaming into the camera about how unfair this.
Is you'd win thousand.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
Views you'd wish these people could be more mature about
being dominated by The dodgers and their head being underneath
The dodger boot all these. Years you think they could
be more mature about, it, indeed and just take. IT
i mean That Toronto Blue jays were pretty mature about. It,
oh they should have won The World. Series they handled
it very. Well absolutely That Ernie clement Was. Prince we'll
(46:48):
be back with your word number song of the. Day
thanks for Listening on a Frog Man. Friday we're still
going
