AM five seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio

Live on the field at Dodger Stadium is your home
of the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodgers Yankees.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Tonight all the games are on Nash TV.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We got him on a radio on AM five seventy
LA Sports, Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck coming up at six.
But right now, Matt on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
celebrity microphone on the field. It is a hero of
ours from Connecticut. Like a snarling dog husky. Our guy,
Ben Casparraus is back on The Petrosen Money Show by
(01:22):
popular demand, no doubt. He was only on like twelve
days ago, and the city demanded he.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Was our first player request for our appearents.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Here today the Dodger reliever Casparius return. What's cracking, Casparius?
How's it going out here today?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
All good? Probably the hottest day of the year. Thanks
for having me, guys.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You're welcome. We put you right down.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You can sit there in the dune out next to
the Evil Brothers if you want. But it's great to
see you. It's great to have you on. You've been
doing this a while. You're you're not a spring chicken,
but you're pretty young. Do you freak out in the
morning when the Yankees are coming to town? Does it
put a little pep in your step? I mean it
does feel like a national media vibe here today, no
(01:59):
doubt about it.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
And here no doubt. I mean, you know this is
why we play. You know, I haven't seen him since
the World Series obviously last year. So I know they're
gonna come in here with a lot of energy and
we're gonna we're gonna respond to that.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
For sure, they listen to baseball. Stuff's important.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
But I feel like we just said, let's get this
out of the way right now, because it's been a
point of I guess, conversation and it's been polarizing. Last
time he came on the show, Petro said, well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You don't have to be this way.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
No, he said, we love you, Ben, We do, and
you said I love you guys, and we were sincere
when we sent.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You that salutation.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
But some people say Ben wasn't sincere, he was just
saying it because you said.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It to him.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, I feel like we're on our second date and
you're like, hey, what are we doing? Why don't we
moving in again? Like you went way too hard? I
don't think so, No, man, I think you know.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm sorry. I think we have to get it out
of the way. Go ahead, justsparius. I'm sorry I shouldn't interject.
We love you, You're.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Great, You guys are great, you bleed blue? How can
I how can I not love you?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Support?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So see that?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So yeah, I was, I was sincere appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Ben, Thank you, Thank you. Ben.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Give us an idea in terms of a world series
rematch of the Yankees want Revenge of All the Aaron
Judge Shohil Tani. How much of that stuff can you avoid?
How much do you pay attention to? Can these be
three of one hundred and sixty two or do they
feel different?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
They feel different? I think anybody's gonna tell you that.
And just you know, two of the best players in
the game going head to head. And then I read
something today, first time ever both teams having three former
MVPs in the lineup. So I mean it's this is why,
this is why we play. This is this is as
good as it gets, and you know no better than
to do it at home.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That is good to be at home, except as you said,
it is the hottest day of the year and we're
all out of here.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I think in the history of Los Angeles frying like eggs.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
But overall, you know, if you read a little bit,
you might have read that the Dodger bullpen has been
text and you guys, you know it can't be sustained,
and you guys are being used too much. How how
does that translate to how you guys prepare what you do?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Uh, and how much you're being used? Does that?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
How does it affect the attitude in there and once
you guys have to go about your business doing.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, I think I think it's just the ebbs and
flows of a season. Behind the scenes, everybody I is
working as hard as possible, training staff in the weight room,
just you know, game prep with our with our pitching coaches,
and you know, figuring out how we're going to attack
different guys. But it's really just it's it's the sport
that we're playing. It happens, you know, more frequently than not.
(04:29):
And yeah, we got to just keep our heads down,
keep going to war and you know, whoever comes and
fills a role, they're going to do a good job.
And just you know, trust whoever's taking the ball.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Speaking of war, he's coming in and I'm sure you
love these advanced analytics. He's coming in with a four
point two war and it's not even the end of
May yet. What Aaron Judge is doing at the plate
is you kind of watch the film and prepare. You know,
if you're called upon to face him, how do you
attack someone that has been that hot through this much
of the season.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What's what's the approach?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I think the approaches keep the ball in the yard
and no it goes to you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you got a little bit more room. So that's the
that's the one positive. But no, I mean, he's an
incredible hitter. He's disciplined. So it's I haven't necessarily like
dove into film yet, just for this series. I usually
try to do that about an hour before the game,
but just someone you have to be careful with. I
(05:22):
think a lot of it's going to have to do
with the situation of the game if there's guys on base.
But again too, you know, hitting's hard. I did it
for a long time. That's what I tell myself. So
just go out there, attack, you know, get ahead, and
then try to you know, figure out what he's not
looking for and figure out what you can go.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
To in a safe spot and your catcher is going
to take care of you. How's a Dalton Rushing been
doing so far?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Sure, he's great. I think he's assimilated well. I obviously,
you know, I was with him pretty much every single
stop in high double A, triple A. He's a special player,
and I think he's come in really determined to you know,
be a service to Will and you know, step up
when he needs.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To step out.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
B always is Dodger reliever Ben Kasparius and the Petros
and Money Show.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We're gonna let him go in a matter of moments.
Don't work. He is cooking right now, all right, he's
he's cooking.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
My head is like a giant globe that's it's blocking
the sun. But you're you know, I've never been to Connecticut,
but I figure like Connecticut's.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like New York. It's a Yankee country. Yeah, I mean,
didn't you? Did you grow up a Yankee guy? I mean,
is that a thing for you?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I grew up a Red Sox fan. Oh wow, I
was one of well, my parents are. My dad's from Maine.
Both my parents went to Northeastern, so it was always
New England sports for us in our house. Terriers, the Huskies.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah yeah, just like Yukon.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, so a lot of Husky's in our house. But yeah,
I grew up a Red Sox fan. So I bashed
heads with a lot of a lot of friends growing up.
And I was definitely one of the few who was
a Red Sox fan.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
So when you get to the Dodger clubhouse and you
see Mookie, is that like you have moved?
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I told him too. I was like, you were my
favorite player growing up, like between him, Dustin Pedroia David Ortiz,
it's it was cool when I shared that with him.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Big Poppy's coming out here tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah, he's gonna bring a big shrimp cocktail for everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Got to say, what's up to him?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
At some point?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
At least we appreciate you, Kasparius. Well up to you, man,
We still love you. A great man and a great Dodger,
a great representation of the Dodger bullpen.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And we're happy that he came.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Up to us. He's too aggressive. Did I ruin it
for us?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I don't think so, you know, but I think if.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I got out of the way early, it'd be better then,
you know, let us hang over us.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I love it. Thank you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
All right, next date golfing stuff exactly. Hey, can we
go on the water slide next time? We'll bring our
swimsuits we're getting and yeah we are. He's at twelve,
so we're gonna get him the petros and money Vans
exactly coming up next.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
All right, Kates, is it working out?
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Kates, you are starting to redeem yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Matt and I are out here cooking, But now the
floodgates have been open, and we're starting to get to
talk to everybody. Okay, Ebel is Eviel is posing for
photographs with his two boys, and now he's coming over
to talk.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
First the first group. We do have some breaking Dodger news.
That's happening because Dave talked to the folks at four
o five.

Yeah, what do we got?
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Evan Phillips, Tommy John surgery, Oh no, Dger reliever, Oh no.
So coming back?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
You know what, Tim, you paused and you made us
think there was something positive coming after the posture, like
Evan Phillips.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Like he was gonna come center field. I never come
with positive news. I never come from positive Yeah. Okay,
that's on next year's playoffs exactly. I mean, he ain't
come back to post All Star break next year at the.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Coming back to the Bills when the Super Bowl early.
All right, so what about the other one? What about
What are you say anything about Mookie?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I have not seen quotes about Mookie yet. Matt Macky,
have you seen anything about Mookie Betts's injury?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So went the field, So it's not easy for us today.
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
DAVIDSS just sent it to me. Dave Roberts just told
David Vassay in the media that Mookie Betts is out
of the lineup tonight. Do Away banged up fourth toe
Wednesday night at home.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Bets banged his toe. X rays are being taken his
fourth left toe.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
That's the piggy that had none. I don't think it is, Yeah,
it is. That's the piggy that had that didn't go
wee wee wee all the way. The we we wee

a roast beef piggy?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That it had none.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, I peg legged around every day. In fact, I'm
down here cooking in the sun as a cripple.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I believe this is a This is a holding tank
for the children, for the young children. As for the children,
we'll get out of the children, out of the children's way.
Children's holding tanks.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
It's a holding tank. Come on, sit down here in
the shade. Guys here, this looks degrees. We welcome to
sit down in the sheep.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Three lot in the sheep.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
So we're gonna ride this out for Dino, Well, he's
gonna be a few minutes. You're gonna have probably break
and come back. Are we allowed to sit on these absolutely?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Are you sure? I see other members of the media
sitting down there, because over there you're not. But they're
Asian because there are different rules for us.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
See they're not sitting. I bet they'd be sitting if
they could. Maybe we're breaking the rules.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh, I'll let you guys break the rules that. I'll
step right over here away from you guys. All right, Well,
I don't want to I don't want to be accusatory
of Tim Kaits.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But we've been down here for the better part of
an hour, Matt, and we are going great, just frying
in the sun. Just wait, And this isn't even our
last interview scheduled down here, he says. We also have
Andrew Friedman scheduled down here in the five o'clock hour.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
And I gotta be honest with you, Matt, I don't
know if I'm gonna make well, I'll tell you what
it's the Yin and the Yang. You know, last time
we were here, the Yin, right, we get Brandon Gomes,
we get no more Garcia Para.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They all come to us. They all came to the suite.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
They all came to the swe I got ice melting
in my nichelada right now up in the suite.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
And you know what, it's refreshing drink sometimes watering it down.
It's not such a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, look at that. Oh he didn't like that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I sat on the guy and everybody's water where everybody's way.
You know, Tim, why can't we just go back up
to the site. You know, why do you do this?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Nobody likes us, Dino, he was thrown to the first group.
He's still.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Absolutely, I'll got the Dazzler for it. I'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
No, we don't want to talk to the dazz though.
And I didn't know the Dazzler looked like an evil
agent in like a Hollywood movie.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
But he does short, he's got the Uh the linen
suit has a it's a bitter look on his face.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's like that, It's like that, is it a lin
the blue linen suit.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Well, very breatheable and uh, and he's got the he's
got the evil beard right where.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's not a thick beard.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It's not I have to say, Matt, most times anywhere
we are in the media, the number one bad guy
angels in the outfield antagonist is you.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But when the dat but when the das around, Oh yeah,
he usurps. Yeah, he looks way more evil than that.
You want a real power move right now?
Speaker 7 (12:07):
If Petro some money walked over to talk to the
doctor Willis, who is standing right next to the well.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
When he talked to Petros, I saw the look on
your face. It was a look of disapproval because they
turned us down. No, they scheduled Dontrelle and then said he.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Can't do it. He's scheduled him and then turned him down.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
And then he's just been grabbing ass in the dugout
for the last forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He's in meetings for three hours. Sorry, they said no,
he can't do it. Ye, that was an abject line. Yeah,
and that's why we don't deal with apple pr anymore.
We get our own, we pick our own apples.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
But they put Kate's in the uh. In the documentary
that's right. I love Apple TV. Yeah, and they made
episode three starts with my voice. Menisode three starts attempts.
So the residuals I got from that.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Zero they made Vass feel unloved, they did and irrelevant
and we show that the ropes. We know that's not true,
and Rass did show them the ropes. So I suppose
we'll go to break yep while we wait. It's the
Petro said money show on AMPHI seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I said, I'm sorry, Pee, what if? Apple said, Hey, Tim,
we appreciate you allowing us to use your voice in
episode three of our world series documentary.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Here is the Apple Vision goggles.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
But in order for us to give them to you,
you have to wear them regularly, and you've got to
send us video of you wearing the Vision. I see
video of Kate's watching VR porn walking around with those
sweet goggles.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Great job, Hobby Air. Hey, you know it's not a
total loss. We have his hands in baseball right there.
We got hobvy Air on and Matt touched his hands.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Let me touch those. It's like a Paul Malli of commercials.
What I was thinking. You know, that's how you do it.
You don't use the dog, you use the Paul mall.
You don't have the dish pair of hands.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I mean, look at my ants are disgusting, They're all
dry and cracked, and his are beautiful, soft jealous.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Thanks for listening. We're live at Dodger Stadium like a
raisin in the sun.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Going until six o'clock tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
UH the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth will have Dodgers Yankees
Game one. Tony Gonsolin versus Max Fried, Harvard Westlake product
turned to his hometown. He has not lost a game
yet this season seven and zero. We are awaiting, uh,
Deno Evil, one of our absolute favorites, working his way
through the rotation of the first greame.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
How many that'll be? The three Evils? Three? That's right,
three evils. And we never talked to Kane. Look at that?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yeah all right, I talked to here and though we
talked to see no and now we're gonna talk to
speak Noel.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
By the way, they opened the stadium an hour earlier
for this game time. Usually it opens two hours before
the first pitch, three hours today. Got a lot of
people that want to come in, you know, those Yankee
fans are violent. You talked about that. Kate's all the
fights they started down an Anaheim unruly Yankee fans exactly right.
And Apple TV is doing the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
How do I know?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
UH television production Maven and Greek American Florida Gator Sean
Coppolakis uh is running around down here, which means Apple
TV is in the house and they and that means
you know Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You don't eat.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I mean a lot of people will want to. You
remember Kobe UH right to see him. A lot of
people might not want to, but you can. You can
listen to the Dazzler and UH and Dontrelle or they
have a button on Apple TV that you can listen
to a M five seventies Pretty Sweet or w F
(15:36):
A n right the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I think it's w FN Okay, are the Yankee games
on f an? I don't know. That's yes, it's Michael
k R. I don't know. I think Michael k calls.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
So you can really explore the nooks and crannies of
the Dodgers versus the Yankees. If you have Apple TV tonight,
what we would prefer is that you listen on the
iHeartRadio app right for your smart or listen on your
AM dial or your transistor radio. As Matt and I
are watching Dino Ebel throw BVP and we're watching Kei
(16:08):
k Hernandez signed some autographs for the children see in
there now Matt described as the children's holding tank, which
is over there is a roped off area of children.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That we were hustled out of. Because Matt is right,
it is.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
A children's holding tank here on the dirt in a
World Series esque atmosphere in May of all times, between
the Dodgers and the yank.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
And we had some big break in news earlier if
you missed it, unfortunately bad breaking news. Well it's not
like there's two items of terrible news there are. It's
a double up of terrible news.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Double up.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
You've got Evan Phillips, who is going to need Tommy
John surgery. So you would assume, based on your average timeline,
he will not make it back until next year's late
in the season or maybe even postseason. Out of the
way copy that one of our favorite guys making his
way through there exactly, and he was polite, he didn't
mind that we were.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
In his way.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But good shot by security to get me out of
the way, already got hit by Jim him making his
way through.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm in everybody's way. And one Matt, you know, people's
tempers are running hot. That's right.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
The other one, you know, they're not often riots in
cities unless it's hot outside.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Right riot is That's right, everybody's running hot.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
The other one, unfortunately, is Mooie bats are dealing with
an injury issue to his fourth you want to rush everybody,
you want to toe, I can get you. And making
his way off the field, he had to work his
way around Tim Kates. That was Kate's fault. You would
think the walls pure and all cif performing catcher at Burrows,
I know why you like to recognize he's like five Nah,
(17:44):
he sawed off like you Kate's.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh God, be serious. He's not as tall as I
thought he was.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
He's not, but he's got Yeah. I knew that guy
from Channel eleven wasn't that tall, but but Brush, yeah, exactly.
I think the guy that did that for me that
really kind of threw me for a loop. Justin Turner,
not that tall, not that tall, always surprised me. Well,
shouldn't say always, but the first time I saw him.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Surprised me.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
There's a reason he had to fight his way off
the bottom. Right, started from the bottom. Now we're here,
started from the bottom. Now the whole team's here.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Is manager Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts, there is manager Dave Roberts.
He shared that.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
News that the fourth toe, this little piggy had none
of Mookie Betts is what is causing him to miss
tonight's game. But I think that it will be a
short term issue and he could be back as early
as tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
The Petrosten Muddy Show is live from Dodger Stadium on
the field, living in a dan of thieves, literal snakes
moving around under our feet as we are here in
the heat. There he is, Dave Roberts. Get him to stop.
You try to get him to stop. Not too much,
going on too much. Okay, that's all right, we're s Dave.
(18:51):
We didn't even book him. Look at you, Kate's you
went out there, just gave him.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
See that was good positioning right there, that was really
good positioning. He saw he roked right by Kates and
any Then he realized, oh wait a minute, that's Tim Cakes.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
He stopped.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Look back now, then you can see his brain processing,
like if I don't do those guys, they're going to
say something and they'll never.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
But he knew.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
He never stopped stopped the snakes, and like Indiana Jones
would start nipping at his heels with their venomous mouth,
they can't.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And here, man, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Tim Kates has brought us down on the field, up
in the suite or is our michilatas up in the
suite for our cold fruit?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But but we don't have no evils but els. We
got to talk to his sons. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Most of the Evil family has been on the show today,
and it's wonderful to have him. Dodger third base coach
and a hero to the people in the city of
Los Angeles, Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels organization. Nobody better
than Dino Ebel on your Southern California Toyota dealer, celebrity
microphone glistening with sweat after throwing a VP. But he's
used to that Inland Empire heat. It doesn't bother Dino.
(20:06):
What's cracking, Dino?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (20:07):
I'm great. Yeah, it's hot and I love it.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
And group one's done, So okay, let's take it into
the game and score some runs.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
If any of those guys you know hits a bomb
off you and they pimp it a little bit, will
you come inside with some chin.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Music right after that?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Let them know, no, no, no, I'm I'm. My job
is to get hit and see how far it goes.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
So we go. When they're hitting them that far, I'm
I'm the happiest guy in the park.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
You know, you have such a great enthusiasm, not just
for the game, it seems just, but for life and
for teaching players and for being with players. Where does
it come from every day? Have you always been like that?
Or or did you get hit by lightning or something?
You know, because you really do. It's an inspiring enthusiasm.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Day one when when I became a coach, the playing
days were over in the minor leagues, and I give
everything I have each day to try to make the
player better. And there's nothing better than having a coach
come out with a lot of energy and every day
pushing the player and getting the work they need, and
they know it.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
I'm here for them and always will be.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Is it easier when this is the scene out here,
you know, where there's all the national media and it's
Dodgers Yankees. Not every day it is like this. You know,
some days are a little bit more subdued. Is it
easier to get the guys going on days like this
or or do you try to kind of calm them down?
Speaker 8 (21:24):
No, it's they it's a it's a process. These guys
there's they're on the big stage every night. It's Dodgers
Stadium and wherever we go, it's big crowds. So these
guys are great. We come out here, get them ready.
They know what they need prepare for the day. It's
just not another game. You're playing the Yankees. We know that,
and we just got to bring our a game each
(21:45):
and every day. That's our goal every game. But you know,
the Yankees are in town. There's already a lot of
media here. Fans, Yeah, fans are in the ballpark. So
it's all good.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
About twenty five feet from where we're standing is where
aggression reside. Third base coach, when you're in a series
like this, or how in terms of what you do
to prepare for that particular job. Is it situationally based
in each game? Is it opponent based? When you think
about what they have and that other dugout for the lamp.
How do you approach that job game in and game out,
(22:16):
and specifically for this series.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, it's for me.
Speaker 9 (22:19):
It's a process.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
The video and you know, I got to know everybody's arms,
which I do left right? They're going to their right
or left? Their accuracy is it same?
Speaker 9 (22:27):
Is it plus?
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Is it minus? So we share that with all our
players in the advanced meeting daily. So my job is
the same each and every game. But yeah, the Yankees
have a good outfield. They got some plus arms out there,
so you know, I'm ready for it. Base hit situation
of the game. You know, what's the score of the game?
Fifth inning, fourth inning? More aggressive early than late. Let
(22:49):
our big boys swing the bat. So, yes, that is
the process that I go through, and that's for every game.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
When you're on the bench and your guys are in
the field, are you like a backseat driver when you
see that ball? Unfortunately, maybe it hits a gap and
you see who's approaching and you're like, no, no, no,
not you want I want him and I like his approach.
Are you doing that during every play?
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (23:07):
You know what, Yeah, I'm a baseball guy. So you know,
I'm always constantly watching. I'm even with our players, our defense.
You know, I'm in charge of the outfield this year,
and I love it our guys come out and work.
So yeah, our goal is to not let them go
first and third. Our goal is not to take the
extra base, so try to stop the single, the double
(23:28):
into a single. So yes, I am watching everything that
happens in the game.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Doto Evil our guest. We're happy to have him.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
We waited for him, watching him out pitch a VP,
looking strong, looking ready. It's not out here at Dodger Stadium.
It's got to be special having your family out here.
I mean, I mean baseball, I think, to you has
always been a family thing and that's what it's about.
But do you ever stop for a second and think
about you know how cool it is. I mean, your
sons are just great looking kids, and they were really
(23:55):
wonderful to talk to.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Yeah, thanks, thank you for doing that, thank you for
having them on.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
But yeah, we were here at ten o'clock this morning,
we were on the field at eleven. It was Dad
and suns, so that was my time to share with him.
But you know, if they're out there shagging now when
the big guys come out. But it's special when you
can bring your family to the park and they share
what Dad sees every day. So they learn, they listen,
they watch, they go down there, watch the big boys
(24:19):
swing the bat, they watch them take round ball.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
So they're constantly learning every day.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
So I'll we enjoyed talking to him, to Brady and Trey,
and then we're talking to Brady. He mentioned you obviously
got the draft coming up, but maybe LSU thoughts about
him going to Louisiana because some SEC baseball as opposed
to hanging out here in southern California. Doesn't seem like
that's the way. Maybe it's gonna go that. Things are
looking really good with the draft, but just kind of
what went into that decision, because I assume it's one
that's made as a family.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Yeah, came down ultimately to Brady. He decided to go
to LSU. Jay Johnson and his staff developed players, they
all do. The SEC is like the big leagues of baseball.
So yeah, it's special. It's gonna be special. The draft's
coming up July thirteenth. Whatever he decides to do. I
think if he goes early in the in the draft,
you know he's gonna be leaning towards his draft.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
But he's in a good spot.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Man, as Tid Brady, you're seventeen years old, you know,
you just you're you're gonna graduate next Wednesday.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
You have LSU or you got the draft. So I
think he's in a good spot. We'll just play it out.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Oh, us old guys are in a way better spot.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Overall.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
What do you think his best position is going to be?
Where do you think he's gonna play? He can do
so many things.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Yeah, I think you know, he's gonna stay at short
as long as he can.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
You know, everybody told me Seger was supposed to go
to third base because of his size.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Is you know his uh he's six three, one hundred
and ninety five pounds.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
But talking to Seger, talking to our scouts and our
and our baseball people.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
Keep him at short as long as he can. Always
can move over to third base.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
But I think he's, you know, being around the game,
the makeup the aptitude that he has and wants to
prove people wrong that he can play shortstop because he's
a tall guy, he's six three. Usually they say I'll
put him to thirty go glove over there. But I
think my son Brady and Trey are you know, they're
both short and they're going to have to prove they
can stay there.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I think I'm right on this. I may not be,
but isn't Maruchi lsu Isn't that where he is?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I think? So that's a pretty I would imagine that
someone you're, you know and stuff. What a cool baseball guy,
and just all the tradition around that program, beyond just
the sec all the stuff that that guy did in
terms of hitting in bats and what he's.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Absolutely they take care of their players there, and you
know it's it's a good thing.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
So he's in good hands.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Whatever he decides to do here in the next five
six weeks, big decision, it's going to come down to him.
Dad will be there to guide him, but it's going
to come down to him what he wants to do.
I know he's passion for baseball. I use the word
obsessed a lot with our guys here, but I know
my sons are obsessed with the game. I didn't force
it on him. They just fell in love with it
and they want to be They want to be major
League players.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
To the twist and turns of a baseball season before
we let you go, because you know, the team we
were talking about in March is not the team you
know today and is not going to be the team
next month or the month after that. Does that ever
surprise you how much things change from when the season
starts or you just used to riding the waves?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Yeah, no, it's this is Major League Baseball, one hundred
and sixty two games. You're going to have injuries. We've
had injuries in the past, We've rebounded.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
Well, this team is they know what they got to
do to be ready. So we come out here.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
We try to win every single game every night. Our
pitching now, you know, guys are throwing bullpens. Guys are
starting to you know, get back, so you never want
to rush them too early then you lose them late.
So yeah, going into the season, you look at our
pitching staff were deep, but there's injuries.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
But there's another side to it.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Guys get chances, Guys get opportunities, you know, the knacks
of the world and guys that are coming up and
helping us. Caspirius and came in last year, so it's
good for them. Guys too, to get their feet Major leagues.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Well, it's one of our favorite things, even though it's
one hundred degrees down here, to watch you work and
put the guys through it and get them ready for
the game. It's one of the highlights of us coming
down here. And we always appreciate you being kind with
your time.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Congrats with your boys and your whole family and all
the success you've had.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You're an inspiration.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Thank you, Dino, thanks for having me on. Thank you
the great den O Evil everybody. Dodger third base coach
picks up his bat and gets back to work with
the boys in blue. And now Tim Kat's moving with purpose.
He's across the dirt down toward home Flate. What's cracking Clinton?
And we got Andrew Friedman. We're right now, Dodger GM
(28:22):
is going to join us in a matter of moments.
I'm going by the children here, good looking man right there.
I'm going by the Apple TV desk.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Is that Burt? No, that's no, that's Stan Causten. It's
the matter with you. So now now we're one man.
It's getting a little intense around here.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
We were supposed to stack like pancakes. Dino Ebel and Friedman.
Friedman now in an unbelievable Dodger brain trust conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I think we can do it, right, I think we
can break And then what do you think.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
County Holmes is standing there, Biman, Dave Roberts, stan cast
and walking around, and we.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Take some insults from staying in the commercial break. Oh,
we always do. Yeah, they're coming.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
All right, Katie, all right, let's pull the trigger and
we'll be right back. Dodger GM, we are piecing it together.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
President of Baseball Operations.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Baseball Operation, Yeah, GM, Brandon Gohmes talking to all right.
I'm sorry, stankcast and maybe.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I was hoping to wait till the break, till I
start getting insulting. I'm stuck out.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Dave Roberts, Hey, I'm on here. Perform almost is the keyword,
and that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
She's fine.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Hey, she's a nice girl. Uncle Lawn, look at Uncle Lawn.
Everybody's here.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We'll be right back with more petros and money. Still,
he says, I to you, Dodger President Andrew Friedman will
join us next.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
I mean we've turned on our street, we're approaching the driveway.
We're almost parked in the garage. The show is absolutely
flowed by money.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Man, it's like a day at the beach.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
You got aund You go down to the beach and
you say, gosh, are we really gonna be here for
six hours? Next thing, you know, you look up and
you say, the day at the beach is over. It's
time to go about like five minutes. Man, Andrew Friedman
a very popular person. He was beginning to make his
way over here.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He's like he at the Petrosen Money Summer Tour, and
then he just gets stopped. He can't even go five feet,
you know. And then somebody talks to him. David Masseys
down here. Well, Dave got all excited because Derek Carr
showed up. Is he here? He is right next to you.
Where Oh my gosh, raider talking to talking to Tanner Stott.
Derek Carr is here.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And Matt thought that me versus shaking was gonna be
the big story down here today.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
No way far from Fresnoy Buch from Fresno, but he's
a Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Least favorite quarterback in the history of the Petrod Money Show,
according to Matt money Smith, I can't think of anybody
else that's ever incurred more of a raft.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
That's such a raprofessional player.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Derek Carr recently retired former Raider, former New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Living the good life. Now he's got all his kids
out there with their Otani jerseys snapping photo.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
He's on the other side of the rope. Yeah, he's
on the other side.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Of the rope.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
They brought him in.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
They lifted the rope. He had to duck under it.
Still showing incredible flexibility despite his retirement.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Here we go, No, we got We just got jumped
by brother Jim down there. Jim Way, you got a
live rado doesn't mean will not stay. I know his
head's melting, but come on, man, I mean we respect.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
The line between dirt and grass and he got aggressive.
My goodness, Jim Hill, what does this series mean to you?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
How excited it just it just goes to show you kids,
sometimes it's those that break the rules that end up
getting their just reward.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Off the grass. You mean, like a chick who sleeps
your way to the town.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
I mean, Jim's standing on the grass something we would
never dare never and yet somehow he Lands.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
The interview with Andrew Friedman. That is really egregious.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I mean, Tim, what do you want me to do
after standing out here and melt You should have checked him.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
He's eighty years old. Check that hip, check it, check it.
I can't check.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Goll go take Danny's battery, take the battery out.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Of kick the camera's han sabotage, sabotages. I was so touched.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I uh, this, this really was Matt.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Not since Holly Rose still Pete Carroll for me at
halftime of the Orange Bowl in two thousand and two.
That was a rough one, how not since? And then
I started my interview and we went under the tunnel
and the cutoff.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Look at this, Oh look, how could you allow that? Freedman?
The patience shown by us was incredible.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
You've got to run through that thing we do. You've
got to run through that. It is Toser President, hero
to the people Yankees in town. Always twists, always turns,
always new stories. Poor guy, I don't know when he
sleeps on the Southern California Toyota deal a celebrity microphone
on the field. It is our friend and sunflower seed
(33:12):
of ficionado Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What's cracking, Andrew? How are you good? Question?
Speaker 10 (33:18):
I'm doing well. It's you know, every year there's you're
you're on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Ride, some more severe than others. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 11 (33:28):
And you would think after doing it for a long time,
you get used to it and accustomed to it, and
just not the case. Every year is its own unique animal,
and uh, you feel it on a daily basis. And
the good thing about baseball is when you lose a game,
you get to come back and play.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
The next day.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
The just we'll start with the bullpen and just because look,
injuries are injuries.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
They happen.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
But in terms of performance and sort of what you
think it's gonna be versus what reality is, how do
you work through that? How do you just I don't know,
put your head down, push through it, or try to
figure out what's going on?
Speaker 2 (34:01):
What's the approach there?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:03):
I mean I think the biggest thing is just making
sure we're dial process wise.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
We're not as deep and talented as we can be.
With the injuries, that's a fact.
Speaker 11 (34:13):
Just with five relievers out, you know, you get to
a point where you start to thin out a little bit.
But we've had guys who's stepped up, picked up lu Travino,
who's been really good for us. Just different guys are
stepping up, and it's really about our starters need to
give us more length.
Speaker 10 (34:29):
And if our starters are giving us.
Speaker 11 (34:30):
More length, we can put our bullpen guys in the
right position to help us win games. It's the combination
of being thinner in the bullpen and our starters not
going as long, which is where it gets challenging. And
I can't say enough about Jack Dryer and Ben Cosperio
and that multi ending role. And you know there's some
(34:51):
timing aspects of that because when they're available to do that,
the game score has to kind of allow for it.
So it's all tricky, just the amount of pitching that's
hurt at the exact same time. If you get to
the end of the season and say, hey, these guys
miss some time, Okay, that's baseball. Usually they're more spaced out.
It's like two are heard here, one comes back, another
(35:11):
guy gets there. It's a concentration of it all at
one time. That's incredibly tricky. Now, on the flip side,
we're getting some guys some opportunity, and we're going to
add back a lot of really talented pitching.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
And tough news about Phillips, no doubt about it. How
does that change the plan for the guy that was
traded for yesterday Dz.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (35:30):
I mean, I think if you look ahead to July,
I think the most likely area that we'd be looking
is that kind of right on right reliever. You know,
Phillips filled it as well as anybody in baseball. Diaz
has historically been really really good against right delivering, got
(35:50):
a little lot of whack that we're going to work
with him on and feel like he has a chance
to really slide into a media role for us and
be able to handle some really good right into hitters.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
We saw Dalton Russian walking around with his with his
shin guards on.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
There.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Just kind of your impressions with the early returns there.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
Yeah, it's been a great opportunity form.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
You know, you pour so much into guys in the
development path, and there's certain things you just can't do
leading a major league staff. Game planning at this level, adjusting, reacting,
taking in information real time. Those are things you can't
simulate in the minor leagues, and so for him to
be able to experience this, the way he's growing, the
(36:33):
questions he's asking, the way he's pouring himself into this
is exactly what you hope to see.
Speaker 10 (36:38):
Now, there's still some development, love as there is with everybody.
Speaker 11 (36:42):
But it's been a really good opportunity form and he's
shown some real maturity and leadership skills back there.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Speaking of that, Clayton Kershaw's back and that's that's kind
of a trip to see him out there. In fact,
he's been pitching, not not as long as we've been
on the show, but almost as long, Like I think
he started pitching.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
The year a couple of years after he start.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
What's it like having him back, not just as a
presence as a guy who's hurt, but as a guy
who's contributing being who he is.
Speaker 10 (37:08):
Yeah, Kersh's incredible.
Speaker 11 (37:12):
I've never seen a competitor better than he, like just
the way he competes. He can have outings where his
stuff isn't as crisp and most guys would give up
a crooked number and get run out of the game early.
And his ability to figure out ways to get outs
and to keep his team in the game is incredible,
(37:35):
and so it's not just obviously the long run of
success he's had, it's what he's doing now on the field,
but also being active. I think he feels more comfortable
being more of a voice in that clubhouse when he's not,
even though he should and can be anytime he wants to.
I think he feels less comfortable doing it when he's hurt.
(37:57):
So him being active benefits us on the mound and
in the clubhouse.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
I'm sure with all the injuries and all the things
you've had to figure out, it doesn't feel like the
season started yesterday for us.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
It kind of does.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
It's been fun so far, obviously with everything that's been
going on, how well the team is playing. It'd be
cool to have this series maybe at like Game one
hundred and ten or something when you're in the dog days.
But how do you feel about kind of this for
a weekend series, three national games on TV and all
of this attention.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Yeah, I mean there's a nostalgia around Dodgers Yankees. It
is a Marquis matchup, you know, the two biggest brands
in baseball squaring off. I think everyone in the country's
eyes are going to be locked in on this and
obviously with the national exposure is only a good thing.
(38:48):
So you know, for us, we try to just kind
of stay as level as we can and just take
each game at a time. But obviously anytime you're playing
the Yankees, it carries a little out of its significance.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
He couldn't get the Evil Brothers to Tulane a couple
about an hour down the tent.
Speaker 10 (39:04):
They were too good.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Ah, it's upsetting.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
But the proud member of the Green Wave in the
Garden District, Andrew Friedman is our guest.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Before we let you go, we saw Hayesong Kim.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
We'll be here talking to some people from where he
arrived at in spring training to the injection of energy
that occurred when he joined the team.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Did that surprise you? How much fun is he to
have it within the organization?
Speaker 10 (39:28):
Yeah, I mean that became pretty apparent spring training.
Speaker 11 (39:31):
Just the personality really shine through, which is pretty amazing
for a guy that doesn't really speak English. For your
personality to come through that strongly is pretty good testament
to him and who he is and just the energy
he brings. When we signed the field, value and run
were in place and it was all about Oxx and
(39:54):
working with him. It was a swing that wasn't necessarily
going to play here against this stuff, and to his credit,
poured himself in and has done a trust fall with
our hitting guys and it's really showing real progress.
Speaker 10 (40:06):
So he's been awesome to be around.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
Just what he does for us, the versatility, the foot speed,
and also the life he's showing in the box.
Speaker 6 (40:16):
Just real quick and we always appreciate the time. How
soon do you think we'll see DS?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
He's gonna get with our guys in Arizona and we're
gonna work on the delivery and just kind of get
him back to what he was. And I don't know
how long that will take, but I think it's really
important that we take the time to get him right,
whatever that is, and then I think.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Contribute about that. See what happened, Come on the flag,
pull little swim.
Speaker 10 (40:42):
That's one approach.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, well you know that.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
That's why we do a I'm gonna radio right. We
appreciate you, mister President, Andrew treatment everybody. We didn't even
bring any seeds.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I know, next time, next time, last time, the Yankees
are at town in this heat. We need salt, that's
what's really needs.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yeah, Hill, but you do it like the seventies, seventies
football camp Junction boys.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Oh back to the boot. Oh look at us. Now
we are the walked in out of except for Derek
car Look, let's talk to Tenner.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
You know you can't interrupt theim for that.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Well, Matt, why don't you go ask him by that
one time he dirted that fourth damn ball? Great question,
having that, great questions, Thank you, appreciate you. Hey, remember
when you dirted that one ball?
Speaker 6 (41:21):
Man?
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Why'd you do that? Why'd you bird it? It's terrible?
One of the great questions in the history of great
sports talk. Do we have to wait for the okates?
Is going to go snap a photo of them? I
think we do. We have to wait to go under? Yeah, Okay,
we gotta wait to go under.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
We'll be right back with more great sports talk on

AM five seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio

Live on the field at Dodger Stadium is your home
of the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodgers Yankees.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Tonight all the games are on Nash TV.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We got him on a radio on AM five seventy
LA Sports, Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck coming up at six.
But right now, Matt on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
celebrity microphone on the field. It is a hero of
ours from Connecticut. Like a snarling dog husky. Our guy,
Ben Casparraus is back on The Petrosen Money Show by
(01:22):
popular demand, no doubt. He was only on like twelve
days ago, and the city demanded he.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Was our first player request for our appearents.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Here today the Dodger reliever Casparius return. What's cracking, Casparius?
How's it going out here today?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
All good? Probably the hottest day of the year. Thanks
for having me, guys.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You're welcome. We put you right down.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You can sit there in the dune out next to
the Evil Brothers if you want. But it's great to
see you. It's great to have you on. You've been
doing this a while. You're you're not a spring chicken,
but you're pretty young. Do you freak out in the
morning when the Yankees are coming to town? Does it
put a little pep in your step? I mean it
does feel like a national media vibe here today, no
(01:59):
doubt about it.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
And here no doubt. I mean, you know this is
why we play. You know, I haven't seen him since
the World Series obviously last year. So I know they're
gonna come in here with a lot of energy and
we're gonna we're gonna respond to that.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
For sure, they listen to baseball. Stuff's important.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
But I feel like we just said, let's get this
out of the way right now, because it's been a
point of I guess, conversation and it's been polarizing. Last
time he came on the show, Petro said, well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You don't have to be this way.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
No, he said, we love you, Ben, We do, and
you said I love you guys, and we were sincere
when we sent.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You that salutation.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
But some people say Ben wasn't sincere, he was just
saying it because you said.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It to him.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, I feel like we're on our second date and
you're like, hey, what are we doing? Why don't we
moving in again? Like you went way too hard? I
don't think so, No, man, I think you know.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm sorry. I think we have to get it out
of the way. Go ahead, justsparius. I'm sorry I shouldn't interject.
We love you, You're.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Great, You guys are great, you bleed blue? How can
I how can I not love you?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Support?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So see that?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So yeah, I was, I was sincere appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Ben, Thank you, Thank you. Ben.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Give us an idea in terms of a world series
rematch of the Yankees want Revenge of All the Aaron
Judge Shohil Tani. How much of that stuff can you avoid?
How much do you pay attention to? Can these be
three of one hundred and sixty two or do they
feel different?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
They feel different? I think anybody's gonna tell you that.
And just you know, two of the best players in
the game going head to head. And then I read
something today, first time ever both teams having three former
MVPs in the lineup. So I mean it's this is why,
this is why we play. This is this is as
good as it gets, and you know no better than
to do it at home.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That is good to be at home, except as you said,
it is the hottest day of the year and we're
all out of here.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I think in the history of Los Angeles frying like eggs.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
But overall, you know, if you read a little bit,
you might have read that the Dodger bullpen has been
text and you guys, you know it can't be sustained,
and you guys are being used too much. How how
does that translate to how you guys prepare what you do?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Uh, and how much you're being used? Does that?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
How does it affect the attitude in there and once
you guys have to go about your business doing.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, I think I think it's just the ebbs and
flows of a season. Behind the scenes, everybody I is
working as hard as possible, training staff in the weight room,
just you know, game prep with our with our pitching coaches,
and you know, figuring out how we're going to attack
different guys. But it's really just it's it's the sport
that we're playing. It happens, you know, more frequently than not.
(04:29):
And yeah, we got to just keep our heads down,
keep going to war and you know, whoever comes and
fills a role, they're going to do a good job.
And just you know, trust whoever's taking the ball.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Speaking of war, he's coming in and I'm sure you
love these advanced analytics. He's coming in with a four
point two war and it's not even the end of
May yet. What Aaron Judge is doing at the plate
is you kind of watch the film and prepare. You know,
if you're called upon to face him, how do you
attack someone that has been that hot through this much
of the season.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What's what's the approach?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I think the approaches keep the ball in the yard
and no it goes to you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you got a little bit more room. So that's the
that's the one positive. But no, I mean, he's an
incredible hitter. He's disciplined. So it's I haven't necessarily like
dove into film yet, just for this series. I usually
try to do that about an hour before the game,
but just someone you have to be careful with. I
(05:22):
think a lot of it's going to have to do
with the situation of the game if there's guys on base.
But again too, you know, hitting's hard. I did it
for a long time. That's what I tell myself. So
just go out there, attack, you know, get ahead, and
then try to you know, figure out what he's not
looking for and figure out what you can go.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
To in a safe spot and your catcher is going
to take care of you. How's a Dalton Rushing been
doing so far?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Sure, he's great. I think he's assimilated well. I obviously,
you know, I was with him pretty much every single
stop in high double A, triple A. He's a special player,
and I think he's come in really determined to you know,
be a service to Will and you know, step up
when he needs.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To step out.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
B always is Dodger reliever Ben Kasparius and the Petros
and Money Show.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We're gonna let him go in a matter of moments.
Don't work. He is cooking right now, all right, he's
he's cooking.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
My head is like a giant globe that's it's blocking
the sun. But you're you know, I've never been to Connecticut,
but I figure like Connecticut's.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like New York. It's a Yankee country. Yeah, I mean,
didn't you? Did you grow up a Yankee guy? I mean,
is that a thing for you?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I grew up a Red Sox fan. Oh wow, I
was one of well, my parents are. My dad's from Maine.
Both my parents went to Northeastern, so it was always
New England sports for us in our house. Terriers, the Huskies.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah yeah, just like Yukon.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, so a lot of Husky's in our house. But yeah,
I grew up a Red Sox fan. So I bashed
heads with a lot of a lot of friends growing up.
And I was definitely one of the few who was
a Red Sox fan.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
So when you get to the Dodger clubhouse and you
see Mookie, is that like you have moved?
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I told him too. I was like, you were my
favorite player growing up, like between him, Dustin Pedroia David Ortiz,
it's it was cool when I shared that with him.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Big Poppy's coming out here tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah, he's gonna bring a big shrimp cocktail for everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Got to say, what's up to him?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
At some point?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
At least we appreciate you, Kasparius. Well up to you, man,
We still love you. A great man and a great Dodger,
a great representation of the Dodger bullpen.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And we're happy that he came.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Up to us. He's too aggressive. Did I ruin it
for us?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I don't think so, you know, but I think if.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I got out of the way early, it'd be better then,
you know, let us hang over us.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I love it. Thank you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
All right, next date golfing stuff exactly. Hey, can we
go on the water slide next time? We'll bring our
swimsuits we're getting and yeah we are. He's at twelve,
so we're gonna get him the petros and money Vans
exactly coming up next.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
All right, Kates, is it working out?
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Kates, you are starting to redeem yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Matt and I are out here cooking, But now the
floodgates have been open, and we're starting to get to
talk to everybody. Okay, Ebel is Eviel is posing for
photographs with his two boys, and now he's coming over
to talk.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
First the first group. We do have some breaking Dodger news.
That's happening because Dave talked to the folks at four
o five.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, what do we got?
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Evan Phillips, Tommy John surgery, Oh no, Dger reliever, Oh no.
So coming back?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
You know what, Tim, you paused and you made us
think there was something positive coming after the posture, like
Evan Phillips.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Like he was gonna come center field. I never come
with positive news. I never come from positive Yeah. Okay,
that's on next year's playoffs exactly. I mean, he ain't
come back to post All Star break next year at the.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Coming back to the Bills when the Super Bowl early.
All right, so what about the other one? What about
What are you say anything about Mookie?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I have not seen quotes about Mookie yet. Matt Macky,
have you seen anything about Mookie Betts's injury?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So went the field, So it's not easy for us today.
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
DAVIDSS just sent it to me. Dave Roberts just told
David Vassay in the media that Mookie Betts is out
of the lineup tonight. Do Away banged up fourth toe
Wednesday night at home.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Bets banged his toe. X rays are being taken his
fourth left toe.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
That's the piggy that had none. I don't think it is, Yeah,
it is. That's the piggy that had that didn't go
wee wee wee all the way. The we we wee
is the fifth that little pig. Yeah, the one before

a roast beef piggy?
Speaker 1 (09:23):

Speaker 2 (09:25):
That it had none.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, I peg legged around every day. In fact, I'm
down here cooking in the sun as a cripple.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I believe this is a This is a holding tank
for the children, for the young children. As for the children,
we'll get out of the children, out of the children's way.
Children's holding tanks.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
It's a holding tank. Come on, sit down here in
the shade. Guys here, this looks degrees. We welcome to
sit down in the sheep.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Three lot in the sheep.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
So we're gonna ride this out for Dino, Well, he's
gonna be a few minutes. You're gonna have probably break
and come back. Are we allowed to sit on these absolutely?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Are you sure? I see other members of the media
sitting down there, because over there you're not. But they're
Asian because there are different rules for us.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
See they're not sitting. I bet they'd be sitting if
they could. Maybe we're breaking the rules.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh, I'll let you guys break the rules that. I'll
step right over here away from you guys. All right, Well,
I don't want to I don't want to be accusatory
of Tim Kaits.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But we've been down here for the better part of
an hour, Matt, and we are going great, just frying
in the sun. Just wait, And this isn't even our
last interview scheduled down here, he says. We also have
Andrew Friedman scheduled down here in the five o'clock hour.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
And I gotta be honest with you, Matt, I don't
know if I'm gonna make well, I'll tell you what
it's the Yin and the Yang. You know, last time
we were here, the Yin, right, we get Brandon Gomes,
we get no more Garcia Para.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They all come to us. They all came to the suite.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
They all came to the swe I got ice melting
in my nichelada right now up in the suite.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
And you know what, it's refreshing drink sometimes watering it down.
It's not such a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, look at that. Oh he didn't like that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I sat on the guy and everybody's water where everybody's way.
You know, Tim, why can't we just go back up
to the site. You know, why do you do this?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Nobody likes us, Dino, he was thrown to the first group.
He's still.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Absolutely, I'll got the Dazzler for it. I'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
No, we don't want to talk to the dazz though.
And I didn't know the Dazzler looked like an evil
agent in like a Hollywood movie.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
But he does short, he's got the Uh the linen
suit has a it's a bitter look on his face.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's like that, It's like that, is it a lin
the blue linen suit.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Well, very breatheable and uh, and he's got the he's
got the evil beard right where.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's not a thick beard.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It's not I have to say, Matt, most times anywhere
we are in the media, the number one bad guy
angels in the outfield antagonist is you.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But when the dat but when the das around, Oh yeah,
he usurps. Yeah, he looks way more evil than that.
You want a real power move right now?
Speaker 7 (12:07):
If Petro some money walked over to talk to the
doctor Willis, who is standing right next to the well.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
When he talked to Petros, I saw the look on
your face. It was a look of disapproval because they
turned us down. No, they scheduled Dontrelle and then said he.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Can't do it. He's scheduled him and then turned him down.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
And then he's just been grabbing ass in the dugout
for the last forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He's in meetings for three hours. Sorry, they said no,
he can't do it. Ye, that was an abject line. Yeah,
and that's why we don't deal with apple pr anymore.
We get our own, we pick our own apples.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
But they put Kate's in the uh. In the documentary
that's right. I love Apple TV. Yeah, and they made
episode three starts with my voice. Menisode three starts attempts.
So the residuals I got from that.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Zero they made Vass feel unloved, they did and irrelevant
and we show that the ropes. We know that's not true,
and Rass did show them the ropes. So I suppose
we'll go to break yep while we wait. It's the
Petro said money show on AMPHI seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I said, I'm sorry, Pee, what if? Apple said, Hey, Tim,
we appreciate you allowing us to use your voice in
episode three of our world series documentary.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Here is the Apple Vision goggles.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
But in order for us to give them to you,
you have to wear them regularly, and you've got to
send us video of you wearing the Vision. I see
video of Kate's watching VR porn walking around with those
sweet goggles.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Great job, Hobby Air. Hey, you know it's not a
total loss. We have his hands in baseball right there.
We got hobvy Air on and Matt touched his hands.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Let me touch those. It's like a Paul Malli of commercials.
What I was thinking. You know, that's how you do it.
You don't use the dog, you use the Paul mall.
You don't have the dish pair of hands.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I mean, look at my ants are disgusting, They're all
dry and cracked, and his are beautiful, soft jealous.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Thanks for listening. We're live at Dodger Stadium like a
raisin in the sun.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Going until six o'clock tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
UH the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth will have Dodgers Yankees
Game one. Tony Gonsolin versus Max Fried, Harvard Westlake product
turned to his hometown. He has not lost a game
yet this season seven and zero. We are awaiting, uh,
Deno Evil, one of our absolute favorites, working his way
through the rotation of the first greame.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
How many that'll be? The three Evils? Three? That's right,
three evils. And we never talked to Kane. Look at that?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yeah all right, I talked to here and though we
talked to see no and now we're gonna talk to
speak Noel.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
By the way, they opened the stadium an hour earlier
for this game time. Usually it opens two hours before
the first pitch, three hours today. Got a lot of
people that want to come in, you know, those Yankee
fans are violent. You talked about that. Kate's all the
fights they started down an Anaheim unruly Yankee fans exactly right.
And Apple TV is doing the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
How do I know?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
UH television production Maven and Greek American Florida Gator Sean
Coppolakis uh is running around down here, which means Apple
TV is in the house and they and that means
you know Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You don't eat.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I mean a lot of people will want to. You
remember Kobe UH right to see him. A lot of
people might not want to, but you can. You can
listen to the Dazzler and UH and Dontrelle or they
have a button on Apple TV that you can listen
to a M five seventies Pretty Sweet or w F
(15:36):
A n right the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I think it's w FN Okay, are the Yankee games
on f an? I don't know. That's yes, it's Michael
k R. I don't know. I think Michael k calls.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
So you can really explore the nooks and crannies of
the Dodgers versus the Yankees. If you have Apple TV tonight,
what we would prefer is that you listen on the
iHeartRadio app right for your smart or listen on your
AM dial or your transistor radio. As Matt and I
are watching Dino Ebel throw BVP and we're watching Kei
(16:08):
k Hernandez signed some autographs for the children see in
there now Matt described as the children's holding tank, which
is over there is a roped off area of children.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That we were hustled out of. Because Matt is right,
it is.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
A children's holding tank here on the dirt in a
World Series esque atmosphere in May of all times, between
the Dodgers and the yank.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
And we had some big break in news earlier if
you missed it, unfortunately bad breaking news. Well it's not
like there's two items of terrible news there are. It's
a double up of terrible news.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Double up.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
You've got Evan Phillips, who is going to need Tommy
John surgery. So you would assume, based on your average timeline,
he will not make it back until next year's late
in the season or maybe even postseason. Out of the
way copy that one of our favorite guys making his
way through there exactly, and he was polite, he didn't
mind that we were.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
In his way.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But good shot by security to get me out of
the way, already got hit by Jim him making his
way through.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm in everybody's way. And one Matt, you know, people's
tempers are running hot. That's right.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
The other one, you know, they're not often riots in
cities unless it's hot outside.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Right riot is That's right, everybody's running hot.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
The other one, unfortunately, is Mooie bats are dealing with
an injury issue to his fourth you want to rush everybody,
you want to toe, I can get you. And making
his way off the field, he had to work his
way around Tim Kates. That was Kate's fault. You would
think the walls pure and all cif performing catcher at Burrows,
I know why you like to recognize he's like five Nah,
(17:44):
he sawed off like you Kate's.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh God, be serious. He's not as tall as I
thought he was.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
He's not, but he's got Yeah. I knew that guy
from Channel eleven wasn't that tall, but but Brush, yeah, exactly.
I think the guy that did that for me that
really kind of threw me for a loop. Justin Turner,
not that tall, not that tall, always surprised me. Well,
shouldn't say always, but the first time I saw him.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Surprised me.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
There's a reason he had to fight his way off
the bottom. Right, started from the bottom. Now we're here,
started from the bottom. Now the whole team's here.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Is manager Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts, there is manager Dave Roberts.
He shared that.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
News that the fourth toe, this little piggy had none
of Mookie Betts is what is causing him to miss
tonight's game. But I think that it will be a
short term issue and he could be back as early
as tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
The Petrosten Muddy Show is live from Dodger Stadium on
the field, living in a dan of thieves, literal snakes
moving around under our feet as we are here in
the heat. There he is, Dave Roberts. Get him to stop.
You try to get him to stop. Not too much,
going on too much. Okay, that's all right, we're s Dave.
(18:51):
We didn't even book him. Look at you, Kate's you
went out there, just gave him.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
See that was good positioning right there, that was really
good positioning. He saw he roked right by Kates and
any Then he realized, oh wait a minute, that's Tim Cakes.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
He stopped.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Look back now, then you can see his brain processing,
like if I don't do those guys, they're going to
say something and they'll never.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
But he knew.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
He never stopped stopped the snakes, and like Indiana Jones
would start nipping at his heels with their venomous mouth,
they can't.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And here, man, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Tim Kates has brought us down on the field, up
in the suite or is our michilatas up in the
suite for our cold fruit?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But but we don't have no evils but els. We
got to talk to his sons. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Most of the Evil family has been on the show today,
and it's wonderful to have him. Dodger third base coach
and a hero to the people in the city of
Los Angeles, Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels organization. Nobody better
than Dino Ebel on your Southern California Toyota dealer, celebrity
microphone glistening with sweat after throwing a VP. But he's
used to that Inland Empire heat. It doesn't bother Dino.
(20:06):
What's cracking, Dino?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (20:07):
I'm great. Yeah, it's hot and I love it.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
And group one's done, So okay, let's take it into
the game and score some runs.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
If any of those guys you know hits a bomb
off you and they pimp it a little bit, will
you come inside with some chin.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Music right after that?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Let them know, no, no, no, I'm I'm. My job
is to get hit and see how far it goes.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
So we go. When they're hitting them that far, I'm
I'm the happiest guy in the park.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
You know, you have such a great enthusiasm, not just
for the game, it seems just, but for life and
for teaching players and for being with players. Where does
it come from every day? Have you always been like that?
Or or did you get hit by lightning or something?
You know, because you really do. It's an inspiring enthusiasm.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Day one when when I became a coach, the playing
days were over in the minor leagues, and I give
everything I have each day to try to make the
player better. And there's nothing better than having a coach
come out with a lot of energy and every day
pushing the player and getting the work they need, and
they know it.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
I'm here for them and always will be.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Is it easier when this is the scene out here,
you know, where there's all the national media and it's
Dodgers Yankees. Not every day it is like this. You know,
some days are a little bit more subdued. Is it
easier to get the guys going on days like this
or or do you try to kind of calm them down?
Speaker 8 (21:24):
No, it's they it's a it's a process. These guys
there's they're on the big stage every night. It's Dodgers
Stadium and wherever we go, it's big crowds. So these
guys are great. We come out here, get them ready.
They know what they need prepare for the day. It's
just not another game. You're playing the Yankees. We know that,
and we just got to bring our a game each
(21:45):
and every day. That's our goal every game. But you know,
the Yankees are in town. There's already a lot of
media here. Fans, Yeah, fans are in the ballpark. So
it's all good.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
About twenty five feet from where we're standing is where
aggression reside. Third base coach, when you're in a series
like this, or how in terms of what you do
to prepare for that particular job. Is it situationally based
in each game? Is it opponent based? When you think
about what they have and that other dugout for the lamp.
How do you approach that job game in and game out,
(22:16):
and specifically for this series.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, it's for me.
Speaker 9 (22:19):
It's a process.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
The video and you know, I got to know everybody's arms,
which I do left right? They're going to their right
or left? Their accuracy is it same?
Speaker 9 (22:27):
Is it plus?
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Is it minus? So we share that with all our
players in the advanced meeting daily. So my job is
the same each and every game. But yeah, the Yankees
have a good outfield. They got some plus arms out there,
so you know, I'm ready for it. Base hit situation
of the game. You know, what's the score of the game?
Fifth inning, fourth inning? More aggressive early than late. Let
(22:49):
our big boys swing the bat. So, yes, that is
the process that I go through, and that's for every game.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
When you're on the bench and your guys are in
the field, are you like a backseat driver when you
see that ball? Unfortunately, maybe it hits a gap and
you see who's approaching and you're like, no, no, no,
not you want I want him and I like his approach.
Are you doing that during every play?
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (23:07):
You know what, Yeah, I'm a baseball guy. So you know,
I'm always constantly watching. I'm even with our players, our defense.
You know, I'm in charge of the outfield this year,
and I love it our guys come out and work.
So yeah, our goal is to not let them go
first and third. Our goal is not to take the
extra base, so try to stop the single, the double
(23:28):
into a single. So yes, I am watching everything that
happens in the game.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Doto Evil our guest. We're happy to have him.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
We waited for him, watching him out pitch a VP,
looking strong, looking ready. It's not out here at Dodger Stadium.
It's got to be special having your family out here.
I mean, I mean baseball, I think, to you has
always been a family thing and that's what it's about.
But do you ever stop for a second and think
about you know how cool it is. I mean, your
sons are just great looking kids, and they were really
(23:55):
wonderful to talk to.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Yeah, thanks, thank you for doing that, thank you for
having them on.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
But yeah, we were here at ten o'clock this morning,
we were on the field at eleven. It was Dad
and suns, so that was my time to share with him.
But you know, if they're out there shagging now when
the big guys come out. But it's special when you
can bring your family to the park and they share
what Dad sees every day. So they learn, they listen,
they watch, they go down there, watch the big boys
(24:19):
swing the bat, they watch them take round ball.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
So they're constantly learning every day.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
So I'll we enjoyed talking to him, to Brady and Trey,
and then we're talking to Brady. He mentioned you obviously
got the draft coming up, but maybe LSU thoughts about
him going to Louisiana because some SEC baseball as opposed
to hanging out here in southern California. Doesn't seem like
that's the way. Maybe it's gonna go that. Things are
looking really good with the draft, but just kind of
what went into that decision, because I assume it's one
that's made as a family.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Yeah, came down ultimately to Brady. He decided to go
to LSU. Jay Johnson and his staff developed players, they
all do. The SEC is like the big leagues of baseball.
So yeah, it's special. It's gonna be special. The draft's
coming up July thirteenth. Whatever he decides to do. I
think if he goes early in the in the draft,
you know he's gonna be leaning towards his draft.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
But he's in a good spot.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Man, as Tid Brady, you're seventeen years old, you know,
you just you're you're gonna graduate next Wednesday.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
You have LSU or you got the draft. So I
think he's in a good spot. We'll just play it out.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Oh, us old guys are in a way better spot.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Overall.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
What do you think his best position is going to be?
Where do you think he's gonna play? He can do
so many things.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Yeah, I think you know, he's gonna stay at short
as long as he can.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
You know, everybody told me Seger was supposed to go
to third base because of his size.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Is you know his uh he's six three, one hundred
and ninety five pounds.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
But talking to Seger, talking to our scouts and our
and our baseball people.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
Keep him at short as long as he can. Always
can move over to third base.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
But I think he's, you know, being around the game,
the makeup the aptitude that he has and wants to
prove people wrong that he can play shortstop because he's
a tall guy, he's six three. Usually they say I'll
put him to thirty go glove over there. But I
think my son Brady and Trey are you know, they're
both short and they're going to have to prove they
can stay there.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I think I'm right on this. I may not be,
but isn't Maruchi lsu Isn't that where he is?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I think? So that's a pretty I would imagine that
someone you're, you know and stuff. What a cool baseball guy,
and just all the tradition around that program, beyond just
the sec all the stuff that that guy did in
terms of hitting in bats and what he's.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Absolutely they take care of their players there, and you
know it's it's a good thing.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
So he's in good hands.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Whatever he decides to do here in the next five
six weeks, big decision, it's going to come down to him.
Dad will be there to guide him, but it's going
to come down to him what he wants to do.
I know he's passion for baseball. I use the word
obsessed a lot with our guys here, but I know
my sons are obsessed with the game. I didn't force
it on him. They just fell in love with it
and they want to be They want to be major
League players.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
To the twist and turns of a baseball season before
we let you go, because you know, the team we
were talking about in March is not the team you
know today and is not going to be the team
next month or the month after that. Does that ever
surprise you how much things change from when the season
starts or you just used to riding the waves?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Yeah, no, it's this is Major League Baseball, one hundred
and sixty two games. You're going to have injuries. We've
had injuries in the past, We've rebounded.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
Well, this team is they know what they got to
do to be ready. So we come out here.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
We try to win every single game every night. Our
pitching now, you know, guys are throwing bullpens. Guys are
starting to you know, get back, so you never want
to rush them too early then you lose them late.
So yeah, going into the season, you look at our
pitching staff were deep, but there's injuries.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
But there's another side to it.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Guys get chances, Guys get opportunities, you know, the knacks
of the world and guys that are coming up and
helping us. Caspirius and came in last year, so it's
good for them. Guys too, to get their feet Major leagues.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Well, it's one of our favorite things, even though it's
one hundred degrees down here, to watch you work and
put the guys through it and get them ready for
the game. It's one of the highlights of us coming
down here. And we always appreciate you being kind with
your time.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Congrats with your boys and your whole family and all
the success you've had.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You're an inspiration.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Thank you, Dino, thanks for having me on. Thank you
the great den O Evil everybody. Dodger third base coach
picks up his bat and gets back to work with
the boys in blue. And now Tim Kat's moving with purpose.
He's across the dirt down toward home Flate. What's cracking Clinton?
And we got Andrew Friedman. We're right now, Dodger GM
(28:22):
is going to join us in a matter of moments.
I'm going by the children here, good looking man right there.
I'm going by the Apple TV desk.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Is that Burt? No, that's no, that's Stan Causten. It's
the matter with you. So now now we're one man.
It's getting a little intense around here.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
We were supposed to stack like pancakes. Dino Ebel and Friedman.
Friedman now in an unbelievable Dodger brain trust conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I think we can do it, right, I think we
can break And then what do you think.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
County Holmes is standing there, Biman, Dave Roberts, stan cast
and walking around, and we.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Take some insults from staying in the commercial break. Oh,
we always do. Yeah, they're coming.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
All right, Katie, all right, let's pull the trigger and
we'll be right back. Dodger GM, we are piecing it together.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
President of Baseball Operations.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Baseball Operation, Yeah, GM, Brandon Gohmes talking to all right.
I'm sorry, stankcast and maybe.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I was hoping to wait till the break, till I
start getting insulting. I'm stuck out.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Dave Roberts, Hey, I'm on here. Perform almost is the keyword,
and that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
She's fine.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Hey, she's a nice girl. Uncle Lawn, look at Uncle Lawn.
Everybody's here.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We'll be right back with more petros and money. Still,
he says, I to you, Dodger President Andrew Friedman will
join us next.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
I mean we've turned on our street, we're approaching the driveway.
We're almost parked in the garage. The show is absolutely
flowed by money.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Man, it's like a day at the beach.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
You got aund You go down to the beach and
you say, gosh, are we really gonna be here for
six hours? Next thing, you know, you look up and
you say, the day at the beach is over. It's
time to go about like five minutes. Man, Andrew Friedman
a very popular person. He was beginning to make his
way over here.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He's like he at the Petrosen Money Summer Tour, and
then he just gets stopped. He can't even go five feet,
you know. And then somebody talks to him. David Masseys
down here. Well, Dave got all excited because Derek Carr
showed up. Is he here? He is right next to you.
Where Oh my gosh, raider talking to talking to Tanner Stott.
Derek Carr is here.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And Matt thought that me versus shaking was gonna be
the big story down here today.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
No way far from Fresnoy Buch from Fresno, but he's
a Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Least favorite quarterback in the history of the Petrod Money Show,
according to Matt money Smith, I can't think of anybody
else that's ever incurred more of a raft.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
That's such a raprofessional player.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Derek Carr recently retired former Raider, former New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Living the good life. Now he's got all his kids
out there with their Otani jerseys snapping photo.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
He's on the other side of the rope. Yeah, he's
on the other side.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Of the rope.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
They brought him in.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
They lifted the rope. He had to duck under it.
Still showing incredible flexibility despite his retirement.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Here we go, No, we got We just got jumped
by brother Jim down there. Jim Way, you got a
live rado doesn't mean will not stay. I know his
head's melting, but come on, man, I mean we respect.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
The line between dirt and grass and he got aggressive.
My goodness, Jim Hill, what does this series mean to you?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
How excited it just it just goes to show you kids,
sometimes it's those that break the rules that end up
getting their just reward.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Off the grass. You mean, like a chick who sleeps
your way to the town.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
I mean, Jim's standing on the grass something we would
never dare never and yet somehow he Lands.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
The interview with Andrew Friedman. That is really egregious.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I mean, Tim, what do you want me to do
after standing out here and melt You should have checked him.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
He's eighty years old. Check that hip, check it, check it.
I can't check.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Goll go take Danny's battery, take the battery out.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Of kick the camera's han sabotage, sabotages. I was so touched.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I uh, this, this really was Matt.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Not since Holly Rose still Pete Carroll for me at
halftime of the Orange Bowl in two thousand and two.
That was a rough one, how not since? And then
I started my interview and we went under the tunnel
and the cutoff.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Look at this, Oh look, how could you allow that? Freedman?
The patience shown by us was incredible.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
You've got to run through that thing we do. You've
got to run through that. It is Toser President, hero
to the people Yankees in town. Always twists, always turns,
always new stories. Poor guy, I don't know when he
sleeps on the Southern California Toyota deal a celebrity microphone
on the field. It is our friend and sunflower seed
(33:12):
of ficionado Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What's cracking, Andrew? How are you good? Question?
Speaker 10 (33:18):
I'm doing well. It's you know, every year there's you're
you're on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Ride, some more severe than others. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 11 (33:28):
And you would think after doing it for a long time,
you get used to it and accustomed to it, and
just not the case. Every year is its own unique animal,
and uh, you feel it on a daily basis. And
the good thing about baseball is when you lose a game,
you get to come back and play.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
The next day.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
The just we'll start with the bullpen and just because look,
injuries are injuries.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
They happen.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
But in terms of performance and sort of what you
think it's gonna be versus what reality is, how do
you work through that? How do you just I don't know,
put your head down, push through it, or try to
figure out what's going on?
Speaker 2 (34:01):
What's the approach there?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:03):
I mean I think the biggest thing is just making
sure we're dial process wise.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
We're not as deep and talented as we can be.
With the injuries, that's a fact.
Speaker 11 (34:13):
Just with five relievers out, you know, you get to
a point where you start to thin out a little bit.
But we've had guys who's stepped up, picked up lu Travino,
who's been really good for us. Just different guys are
stepping up, and it's really about our starters need to
give us more length.
Speaker 10 (34:29):
And if our starters are giving us.
Speaker 11 (34:30):
More length, we can put our bullpen guys in the
right position to help us win games. It's the combination
of being thinner in the bullpen and our starters not
going as long, which is where it gets challenging. And
I can't say enough about Jack Dryer and Ben Cosperio
and that multi ending role. And you know there's some
(34:51):
timing aspects of that because when they're available to do that,
the game score has to kind of allow for it.
So it's all tricky, just the amount of pitching that's
hurt at the exact same time. If you get to
the end of the season and say, hey, these guys
miss some time, Okay, that's baseball. Usually they're more spaced out.
It's like two are heard here, one comes back, another
(35:11):
guy gets there. It's a concentration of it all at
one time. That's incredibly tricky. Now, on the flip side,
we're getting some guys some opportunity, and we're going to
add back a lot of really talented pitching.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
And tough news about Phillips, no doubt about it. How
does that change the plan for the guy that was
traded for yesterday Dz.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (35:30):
I mean, I think if you look ahead to July,
I think the most likely area that we'd be looking
is that kind of right on right reliever. You know,
Phillips filled it as well as anybody in baseball. Diaz
has historically been really really good against right delivering, got
(35:50):
a little lot of whack that we're going to work
with him on and feel like he has a chance
to really slide into a media role for us and
be able to handle some really good right into hitters.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
We saw Dalton Russian walking around with his with his
shin guards on.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
There.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Just kind of your impressions with the early returns there.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
Yeah, it's been a great opportunity form.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
You know, you pour so much into guys in the
development path, and there's certain things you just can't do
leading a major league staff. Game planning at this level, adjusting, reacting,
taking in information real time. Those are things you can't
simulate in the minor leagues, and so for him to
be able to experience this, the way he's growing, the
(36:33):
questions he's asking, the way he's pouring himself into this
is exactly what you hope to see.
Speaker 10 (36:38):
Now, there's still some development, love as there is with everybody.
Speaker 11 (36:42):
But it's been a really good opportunity form and he's
shown some real maturity and leadership skills back there.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Speaking of that, Clayton Kershaw's back and that's that's kind
of a trip to see him out there. In fact,
he's been pitching, not not as long as we've been
on the show, but almost as long, Like I think
he started pitching.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
The year a couple of years after he start.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
What's it like having him back, not just as a
presence as a guy who's hurt, but as a guy
who's contributing being who he is.
Speaker 10 (37:08):
Yeah, Kersh's incredible.
Speaker 11 (37:12):
I've never seen a competitor better than he, like just
the way he competes. He can have outings where his
stuff isn't as crisp and most guys would give up
a crooked number and get run out of the game early.
And his ability to figure out ways to get outs
and to keep his team in the game is incredible,
(37:35):
and so it's not just obviously the long run of
success he's had, it's what he's doing now on the field,
but also being active. I think he feels more comfortable
being more of a voice in that clubhouse when he's not,
even though he should and can be anytime he wants to.
I think he feels less comfortable doing it when he's hurt.
(37:57):
So him being active benefits us on the mound and
in the clubhouse.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
I'm sure with all the injuries and all the things
you've had to figure out, it doesn't feel like the
season started yesterday for us.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
It kind of does.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
It's been fun so far, obviously with everything that's been
going on, how well the team is playing. It'd be
cool to have this series maybe at like Game one
hundred and ten or something when you're in the dog days.
But how do you feel about kind of this for
a weekend series, three national games on TV and all
of this attention.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Yeah, I mean there's a nostalgia around Dodgers Yankees. It
is a Marquis matchup, you know, the two biggest brands
in baseball squaring off. I think everyone in the country's
eyes are going to be locked in on this and
obviously with the national exposure is only a good thing.
(38:48):
So you know, for us, we try to just kind
of stay as level as we can and just take
each game at a time. But obviously anytime you're playing
the Yankees, it carries a little out of its significance.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
He couldn't get the Evil Brothers to Tulane a couple
about an hour down the tent.
Speaker 10 (39:04):
They were too good.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Ah, it's upsetting.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
But the proud member of the Green Wave in the
Garden District, Andrew Friedman is our guest.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Before we let you go, we saw Hayesong Kim.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
We'll be here talking to some people from where he
arrived at in spring training to the injection of energy
that occurred when he joined the team.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Did that surprise you? How much fun is he to
have it within the organization?
Speaker 10 (39:28):
Yeah, I mean that became pretty apparent spring training.
Speaker 11 (39:31):
Just the personality really shine through, which is pretty amazing
for a guy that doesn't really speak English. For your
personality to come through that strongly is pretty good testament
to him and who he is and just the energy
he brings. When we signed the field, value and run
were in place and it was all about Oxx and
(39:54):
working with him. It was a swing that wasn't necessarily
going to play here against this stuff, and to his credit,
poured himself in and has done a trust fall with
our hitting guys and it's really showing real progress.
Speaker 10 (40:06):
So he's been awesome to be around.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
Just what he does for us, the versatility, the foot speed,
and also the life he's showing in the box.
Speaker 6 (40:16):
Just real quick and we always appreciate the time. How
soon do you think we'll see DS?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
He's gonna get with our guys in Arizona and we're
gonna work on the delivery and just kind of get
him back to what he was. And I don't know
how long that will take, but I think it's really
important that we take the time to get him right,
whatever that is, and then I think.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Contribute about that. See what happened, Come on the flag,
pull little swim.
Speaker 10 (40:42):
That's one approach.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, well you know that.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
That's why we do a I'm gonna radio right. We
appreciate you, mister President, Andrew treatment everybody. We didn't even
bring any seeds.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I know, next time, next time, last time, the Yankees
are at town in this heat. We need salt, that's
what's really needs.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yeah, Hill, but you do it like the seventies, seventies
football camp Junction boys.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Oh back to the boot. Oh look at us. Now
we are the walked in out of except for Derek
car Look, let's talk to Tenner.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
You know you can't interrupt theim for that.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Well, Matt, why don't you go ask him by that
one time he dirted that fourth damn ball? Great question,
having that, great questions, Thank you, appreciate you. Hey, remember
when you dirted that one ball?
Speaker 6 (41:21):
Man?
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Why'd you do that? Why'd you bird it? It's terrible?
One of the great questions in the history of great
sports talk. Do we have to wait for the okates?
Is going to go snap a photo of them? I
think we do. We have to wait to go under? Yeah, Okay,
we gotta wait to go under.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
We'll be right back with more great sports talk on
am FI seventy LA Sports Johnson.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Who's hot? You're home with the doctor. It's hot out there.
