Speaker 2 (00:52):
Look on me.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Petros In Money and five seventy eight Sports live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get over to two nineteen.
Put our eyes on some college football as it gets
underway right now, Western Michigan at Michigan State. We got
Texas versus Ohio State tomorrow here nine am. That's right,
(01:14):
nine am tomorrow, Texas Ohio State on AM five to
seventy LA Sports Number one versus Number three arch Manning,
justin saying, sayn just in saying, I'm just in saying
and arch Manning, and we're gonna have college football all
weekend long, including Monday's TCU versus North Carolina. Look, am
(01:39):
I happy that we lost to UCLA? Somewhat? No, because
we love Mick Cronin and he's one of our absolute
favorite people that's ever been part of the show. However,
we did not have a relationship with the Sean Foster,
non existent. He was scheduled to come to one of
our summer tour stops and then canceled on us last
minute day before. And now we get all these great
(02:03):
college games. We're not playing UCLA anymore. So instead we're
taking the premiere game of your Saturday and putting it
right here on a five seventy LA Sports for the
college football season.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I think that arch Manning is one of those people
who has been talked about way more than has actually
been watched by the people doing the talking, largely fascinating,
big time spot for him going into the shoe and
all of that, the buzz that he's not he's going
back to school no matter what Archie, his grandfather says,
(02:33):
so he's a manning and he's going to go back
for another year and all of that. That's right, I say,
And there's no way that'll happen if if the New
Orleans Saints have the first overall pick, right, there's no
way Arch would pass up on this speriodical completion of
the circle. If arch the grandson of Archie, who lives
(02:56):
in New Orleans after being an old miss legend and
raises Peyton and Eli and Kupper in the Garden district
down there, and the New Orleans Saints have the first
overall pick, they will one hundred percent take arch and
he will make himself available to do which begs the
question why did you take Tyler Shuck Saints? Why would
you not if you were ever going to tank a season.
(03:18):
If there was ever a reason for a professional outlet
to tank a season, it would be to get Archie.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I'll tell you why. Because maybe they don't get him,
you know, because maybe they don't have the worst record.
There's a lot of bad teams out there, and so
I think it's like, well, we'll take this guy. And
you had the Cardinals burn a first round pick on
Josh Rosen and take Kyler Murray the next year. So
burning a quarterback is not a big deal, you know
what I mean. I happen to agree with that approach.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You. I agree that that is the spiritually sound approach,
the or the or the intellectually sound thing to do,
even if it doesn't seem right. It's the only position
that ultimately really matters. If you take two quarterbacks in
two years, with the first in the first round, so
be it. You got to get that writer, you're nowhere.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I was talking. We were talking to Trey Lance last
two weeks ago, and he was brought this up on
the show before. But I just it cracks me up
how odd the COVID quarterback is in college football. And
he pointed out that, you know, remember North Dakota State
played that wacky one game season because that was COVID
and everything got canceled, right, But the guys were like, well,
(04:24):
all the seniors are just going to not play football again,
like that was their last game. Well we got to
find him one game. So they played Arkansas State, but
he said, yeah, we were supposed to play Oregon like that.
We were all jacked, like, you know, we're coming off
the national championship and I'm coming back and I'm coming
off the perfect season, and you know, we get Oregon
Week one and ready to do battle. Trey Lance in
(04:45):
his fifth year, sixth year now right, I think in
the league, and he no fifth year in his fifth year,
and Tyler Shuck was the quarterback he was supposed to
face in that one game against Oregon at North Dakota
State and he is a rookie this year. And Trey
Lances on his third team in his fifth season.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And Anthony Richardson the apparent bust there in Indianapolis, I
think just now turned thirteen years old. Yeah, right, Like
the range in the age of Nil. Stuff is so crazy.
And then the COVID age. You could tell me that
that happened three years ago or twenty one years ago,
and I would not be able to tell you which
is the right answer. Doesn't everything that happened in COVID.
(05:29):
I was talking with my kids about that just last night,
about how bizarre that event.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Was and.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Where it places with insanity. Eighteen months of sheer insanity
is what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Think back, but it's really hard to reconcile.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
If anybody says, what is the what is the one signature?
Memory you have of that window of time. I think
a lot of people will be like, you know, it's
kind of nice. My daughters were, and they were all
at home because they was you know, remote. No, it
was that I could take the six oh five to
the five to the one thirty four to the iHeart
(06:11):
Studios and am five to seven to La Sports and
make it here in thirty one minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
That was nice. As a matter of every single.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Day, for like a six month window, I could do
a thirty minute commute from Seal Beach to Burbank and
it was the most glorious of things that I'd ever experienced.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You were you were like Heston in Omega man drive
in the street to downtown La.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
The empty streets. It was the most incredible feeling.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yo, moving pera.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Today We're going to walk out of here at six
pm and it's gonna be Friday Labor Day traffic and
it's gonna take me two hours to get home.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Well, I'm gonna sit in the traffic. I am running
from as soon as this is over, I am running
over to the Encino Tarzana border, Crespy, Golden Valley. He's
a home opener for Chrispy, Chase Kerr playing Jean Claude
van damashek He's a Swiss army knife. He plays some
(07:12):
tight end there, a lot of two end sets with
Lucas Moles out there, James Moffatt, a high end pass rusher,
a dominator out there, a couple of real nice receivers
for the sophomore Chase Current leading the Crespy Celts out
of mediocrity and into the limelight here in southern California.
(07:33):
Get a lot of football. He's real good. They have,
They have some legit players. Yes, watch the he is
just whatever. What would he be fifteen years old as
a sophomore. But he's got a whip this.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Time, I'm talking about your son.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
He's not. He's neither here nor there. I want to
talk about the best player now. He's very good and
I couldn't be prouder him. He's a wise acre like me,
but boy, he takes it SERI out of it's the gym,
all the rest of it. Yeah, it's funny to watch.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Does he ever ask you to spot him? Dad, give
me a spot?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I can't. What's that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I got?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I got a criok in my back spot?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
By the way, I don't know what they mean. You
mean like a bald spot. I got one of those
we have, but you can't see it.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Did a little damage up there, huh, A little shaken,
little shaken bake up there.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's right, that's right. I got the flesh yamaka. I
fill so one. I get some of that that hair
pepper that they sell at the CVS right, fill it in.
Nobody knows has a difference.

(08:50):
sports dot com. Dave, I believe you have the word
of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The day I have. You know I have the Petres
and Money word of the day. But Dave's word of
the day is betrayal.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Oh, we they don't get I don't think you get
to get to the betrayal.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I don't get to talk betrayal.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, we got a little too deep into the weeds
here with the crispy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
All right, next time put a pin in that one,
you know, because it'll be a fun conversation. We get
to it, all right. The word of the day is
buck guy. We're talking college football after all. Ohio State,
the Ohio State has launched a legal challenge against a
Michigan company's attempt to trademark a phrase. The university filed
a notice of opposition with the US Patent and Trademark
(09:38):
Office to contest an application by ann Arbor restaurant the
Brown Jug. The business is seeking the trademark Buckeye tears
for use with beer and liquor products, and it's filing
Ohio State said the mark could confuse consumers into thinking
the university was connected to the products. The school sited
the value of its brand, pointing out that it's licensing
(09:59):
pro Gram generated more than one hundred and forty five
million dollars royalties and roughly two point two billion dollars
in retail sales over the past decade. University attorneys also
argued that associating alcohol with its athletic programs could damage
its reputation and dilute the strength of its buck Guy's identity. Yes,
they do not like boozing. No, that's not their thing.
(10:22):
That's not for them.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It's fresco only.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The Brown jug submitted the application last year on its
intent to use basis, meaning the phrase was not yet
in commercial circulation. So far, it's only appeared in limited form,
such as on a menu item and without any Ohio
State trademarks, logos or school colors.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
There you have it, the business of sports, the big
billion dollar business of sports.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Fascinating, fascinating, your favorite rivalry college Ohio State, Michigan.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It's pretty hard to beat, isn't it. It is pretty
hard to beat. Yeah, I think so. I mean out here,
I've been out here, you know, thirty six years, you know,
and I can remember some pretty great Notre Dame USC games.
You know, even when I was a kid. I can
remember the Rodney Pete Tony Rice Notre Dame USC game,
and that was, like, I mean, it felt like a war.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
What I enjoy. The one element of that specific rivalry
is that when it's at Notre Dame, they do it
in October, and when it's in La it's the end
of the season. I love that you get that switch.
That's it's but you know, Ohio State like and look
for me. Last year was special because Harbaugh shows up
(11:41):
fresh off a national championship trying to remember where we
were when they were playing that game. Shoot, I can't
maybe the Patriots. No, that would have been way too
late in the year. We were on the road though,
and we were doing our interview with coach and the
game was on and we were like, hey, we'll keep
(12:04):
this short, you know, and uh, let you get the
back to watching the game. And he's like, I really
appreciate it, guys. So we cut the interview short, go
into the meal room, and you know, when you're on
the road with the team, everybody eats in one massive
you know, basically like a convention hall. You know, that's
turned into caterene and all this food is out and
(12:25):
the whole football team and staff are in there, and
here's Jim Harbaugh and Joey Bosa sitting next to each
other watching Ohio State Michigan, and Ohio State's a double
digit favorite, and Michigan's giving him the business, and you know,
Bosa is acting like Harbaugh's attacking his family and coaches
(12:45):
needling in pretty good. That's it's hard to beat that,
you know, because that's that's that rivalryvalry is as gnarly
as any you know. We we talk about the business
of football, and it's obviously now insinuated itself into college
football in college basketball much more than it ever had
(13:05):
been over the last five years or so. When you
talk to pro football players, you realize they learn at
some point, if they make it to that second contract,
they really learned the oh oh man, they don't care
about me. It's just a business. They care way more,
almost across the board about their college teams and their
high school teams than they do about their pro football
(13:28):
out famous.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I agree with that they most definitely do. They all
still very much because that's what you know. Typically on Saturdays,
that's what's going on with that team, is uh oh,
that's right. We hold on is that where we were
we were in.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
What a cool thing to witness though, as I say,
we were in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Huh, we were in Pittsburgh. Yeah, we were in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I would say, not that you ask. I think people
always hold up the SC Texas National Title game is
the greatest game they've ever seen. I think that SC
at Notre Dame earlier that season is the single greatest
college football game I've ever seen. Push Yeah, the Bush push.
I mean that every touchdown score in that game is spectacular.
(14:20):
Reggie Bush goes up the middle and vaults an ND
tackler about eight yards deep into the defensive backfield and
without almost breaking stride, without losing you know, one mile
an hour how fast he was moving there to the
end of that game. That Texas SC game makes it.
But if you ever want to if you're a dork
(14:42):
and want to watch a great college football game, dig
up the Orange Bowl, Bernie Cosar and the U against
mighty Nebraska at the height of Tom Osborne's powers with
Turner Gill and Microgiar and Irving Fryar. That is a
magnificent game and maybe is the best game I've ever
seen it. Anyway, I just like to throw.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That out good stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Now and listen.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I was on the field for the final drive of
Texas and I hate it's on that right. So when
you're in the press box at the National championship game,
they bring you down on the field so you can
get all your interviews, uh immediately after the game with
the players on the field. So I happen to be
in that group. And when they bring you down, they're like, hey,
this is your quadrant, this is where you're gonna stand.
(15:30):
You go with this person, and they all walk you
out and you're on the sideline. And so I'm on
the sideline and to my right is Vince Young giving
the speech to his guys about how amazing af these guys.
We're gonna run it down their throats. We're gonna win
the National Championship in the next two minutes. Follow me,
I will take you to glory, like one of those moments.
And it's like, wow, this is kind of cool. And
(15:50):
then that's it's exactly what he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
And I'm watching on TV and that was the moment
that as much as I revered Keith Jackson, that was
the you know, maybe the game's passed them by because
Vince Young is standing there as the confetti's falling and
being mob by his teammates and it goes on for
about thirty more seconds and then Keith Jackson goes it's touchdown.
(16:14):
He's been in the end zone for a while there, Keith,
he was off, But boy, that's great. I was at
the Coliseum, went in the great maybe the greatest regular
season NFL game ever, the Chiefs and Rams shootout.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Right when the Resco City.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
No no, yeah, it was supposed to be Mexico City
was Coliseum and I was standing not just on the sideline,
but I was standing right in the corner of the
end zone. And I was holding up my cell phone
doing a dumb selfie look where I Am kind of thing,
and I see a flash of yellow running up behind me,
and it turns out it's the Rams tight end running
down the sideline right into my back for the game
(16:49):
winning touchdown. I turned around, and I was so shocked.
I didn't know what to do. I went to give
him a high five, and he looked at me and
turned around and celebrated with his teammates, and I was
made an.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Ass of but hey, it's a moment you'll never forget.
If he just gives you the high five, you're not
gonna tell somebody like And then he gave me a
high five. No much better your number.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Of the day.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Here's my number.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Number of the day.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Number of the day is ten. Out to Rosemead. And
I know a lot of people have probably already played
this today we're a late show. But if you missed it,
youth baseball got a couple of coaches getting into it.
First base coach little wind in his jaws and starts
barking at the ref the ump pardon me, he's called
a ref by someone on this video that you'll hear.
(17:35):
And well, things escalated rather quickly. I think the you
know the old I think it's Will Ferrell that had
the famous line, Well that escalated quickly. That is that
is exactly what happened out there in rose Meat. No
(18:01):
way still going bite's still gone.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
On.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
That's good. Hell of the no So, yeah, if you
missed it, go ahead. I found it on k T
l A. They had it posted. It's a it's a
rather large umpire, you know, and you got you got
some hands now this dude, you heard it call some uh,
you know, the the f and bitch there and then
(18:51):
within less than a second, right cross umpire mask from
the left side grabs them whips them to the ground
and contain and he was beating him senseless in a
ten you game. And it reminds me that I think
everybody's got a story about you sports these days, and
when things got a little sideways now, not to that
extent where an umpire and a coach or beating the
(19:14):
living crowd. Not even when the umpire is beating a
man senseless that got a little lippy and put a
finger in his face, which is incredible. And you know,
from my standpoint, I'm okay with it. You're gonna scream
that for all the kids to hear, and put your
finger in another man's face. The kids should know there's
repercussions that come with that if you're not careful, young man.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I get it. The thing that was incongruous was the aftermath.
The umpire when asked why this all went down, and said,
I was scared for my life. You have to see, yes,
oh yeah, you have to see. I was scared for
my other The two principles involved, yes to get the good.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Laughing, and you know what, It's typically how the world works, kids.
There's usually a smaller guy that's got that's got you know,
that's the it's got the words to throw around, and
then the larger person's just gonna throw the punch. That's
that's how it usually works. Little guy just wants to
argue and try to show that he's a big man
with his words. Big guys just gonna go punch.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
That is one of the early chapters that made me
into the cynic I am now. I was taught by
sitcoms when I was growing up, in movies at large
that if if you just punch the bully in the face, right,
he'll back down real fast.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Like that's right.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Go ahead and do that in real life and see
how it works out. Bullies are bullies because nobody can
beat them up. That's how you get to be a bully.
So if you punch the bully who you can't beat up,
guess what's gonna happen. It's not gonna go like the
Brady Bunch episode where Peter ends up being the hero
because he punched the bully and the bully started to
(20:50):
cry and ran off. In real life, the bully doesn't
run off. He makes you bleed.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
That's why we tip our cap to uh Dazed and confused.
Because Clinton beat the hell that's right, beat the absolute
hell out of Newton. Uh. And that's the way it goes.
You know what, I'm just gonna get in there. I'm
gonna lick in and then they're gonna break the fight up,
and then this is gonna be Now it's that hout.
It works. Everybody's gonna circle around and watch a fight.
It does remind me, though, of the one time that
(21:17):
we had some unruly parents at a my youngest daughter's
soccer game and they were yelling and screaming and everyone's
passed the ball and you gotta score. And finally, this
was the opposite sideline that was doing this right, you know,
shouting their instructions to their kids and what they needed
to do. And finally the coach had had enough and
(21:37):
he turned around to all of the parents behind him
and said, moves and dads, one voice, one voice, and
that voice would be mine. How we clear everybody shut
up for the rest of the match, and it was spectacular.
(21:57):
One voice must have echoed through the long beach and
I was like, that's what I'm talking. And that was
before the Mike Matheny letter to the parents. I'm the coach,
You're not. This was a long, long, time ago, and
God bless that man for that moment. All right, Ronnie,
we're super late. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is a song of the day.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Oh yeah, shit, getting a little excited there. Today's song
of the day is called We Are Family from Sister Sledge,
a nostalgic tune holding a special place in the hearts
of Pittsburgh's everywhere uniting a city in nineteen seventy nine,
specially selected for today on the Petros and Money Show
(22:40):
to welcome in a proud Pittsburgh native who has become
like family, more like a stepbrother. Nevertheless, he's been kind
enough to make his way into the Pinnacle Building in
Burbank to fill in for our friend Petros on a
frog Man Friday. It's Dave damashek everyone.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I appreciate it. I feel lucky, Fossio. I'm not as
lucky as David Vasse who gets to take a trip
out to Pittsburgh in the coming days because the Dodgers
are paying a visit to the Bucos and the best
ballpark in all of MLB.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
And he will join us in less than an hour
when we come back. I swear to God, Dodger quick,
little Dodger story, A little nugget from Dave Roberts, so
we can prep and get ready for Dave to join us.
That'll be nice.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
the iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Trip all summer with LA Sports, Beto saying money and
five to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Going to Dodgers v. Diamondbacks. Ronnie, what you got, oh
little Appy State? Fight song for our dear friend Daniel Jeremiah.
Appy State, Who do they got? Charlotte? I believe today
(24:05):
Appy State, Charlotte, I think is what the show done,
is just starting right now. Thank you, Ronnie.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
We said we'd get to it, and Dave's gonna join us,
so I do want to get a little top. So
here we go. Eight seven six five. Yes it's a
straight count down, eight seven sixty five, But those are
your run totals scored by the Dodgers offense after they
had averaged two per game and their previous four losses
(24:34):
two per game to Colorado and the Padres. Those four
losses eight runs total. So do we have the sound
from Dave Roberts, Ronnie. We had Dave Roberts on Wednesday
and he had kind of mentioned and he said it
with some conviction about sort of where the team.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Was like to ride the wave because players and fans
do it enough, and so I think that if people
can look at a at a you know, manager or
leader to kind of remain steadfast and calm, I think
that kind of balances things out. So, yeah, it's been
a crazy year, unpredictable. That's what makes baseball so great.
I'm enjoying the heck out of it. We're sort of
(25:17):
now where I think we're hit our stride a little bit.
And but yeah, I think the one thing that I
think people can look to me is consistency and of
kind of my demeanor. I'm never going to be Tomulus
Sorda or pat Riley.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Hit their stride. And he expounded on that and it's it's,
you know, it's a very long answer, and we appreciate
that from Dave. But what I think, Pete, look the
next three starters they're going to see starting tonight out
there in Chavez Ravine five one, three, five, six, seven,
five two four ERA. That's their next three starters. And
remember this team, the starters were never an issue. It
(25:53):
was the offense that had just disappeared. And I think
what people forget is baseball is not like any other
It is not football, where one player can have one
huge game, you know, go twelve. I saw it last
year with Quinton Johnston against the Raiders Week eighteen. He
goes thirteen for one eighty seven, and all of a sudden,
(26:14):
at the end of the year, it's like, oh, fifty
five seven to fifty eight touchdowns. That's pretty damn okay.
It was one game thirteen. I think it was one
eighty seven changes that not in baseball. Baseball is one
hundred and sixty two games. The averages are the averages,
and ultimately, with great players, they regress to whatever that is.
(26:37):
And I think that's kind of what Dave was. One
hundred over one hundred and forty to one hundred and
sixty two games. You're gonna get what you got over
one hundred games over ninety games. It's all gonna work
itself out. Shoho Tani is awesome. Right. He is on
path for another MVP, but he's got one hundred and
fifty six strikeouts on the season, tied for fourth most
(27:01):
in the big leagues. Now he is sandwiched by car
Kyle Schwarber, who had four home runs yesterday, and Cal
Raley who's got fifty as a catcher. So you'll take
that butt when the playoffs come around and show Hayes
in the box, guess what it probably gonna strike out.
It's probably gonna be some strikeouts in there, because he's
done at one hundred and fixed fifty six times this year. Now,
(27:23):
there's a flip side of that. Mookie is a career
two ninety hitter. He is hitting for his lowest average
ever two forty seven. Is he gonna get back to
two ninety, No, but the low end of his two ninety,
because there's some three twenties in there, is two sixty
five in twenty seventeen. Can he get from two forty
(27:43):
to two sixty five in a month? Yes, he can,
He absolutely can, and he's already on his way back.
He's hitting two to eighty in August after a two
to h five July. He's got a seven to fifty
ops after a disastrous five eighty six the month before,
he doubled his He doubled his rippies. He cut his
strikeouts by two thirds, and he was a twenty five
(28:05):
the thirty five homer guy in seven of his eleven seasons.
He's at fourteen. So baseball tells you, look, he's probably
going to have a big like it's probably gonna have
a big August, probably gonna have a big September.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Take a look at what the Dodgers have left in
the regular season. They have a four game set with
the Phillies, and outside of that, there wouldn't be There's
not a series that you would maybe seattle.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
At the end of the year if they're fighting for
a spot the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
If things break as you say based on expectation, the
Dodgers should be okay and be able to hold off
the Padres and take the West once again. It's fascinating
baseball versus the other sports. Like you say, is it's
a team sport, but individual, which is when you're in
the batter's box, you have to produce. And what Dave
(28:54):
Roberts was just talking about is what you've heard your
entire lifetime. If you follow baseball, baseball every day and
all of that. Don't get too high, don't get too low.
I feel like riding the wave of we're red hot
right now, and all of that is not what the
Dodgers go through. And what's going on in this summer
of discontent for Dodgers fans or underachievement based on the
(29:18):
name brands that we're talking about that you just threw
out there, I do wonder, sincerely, they're human beings, after all.
It must be hard in June and July when you
dominate your division every year and the expectation is nothing
matters until we get October and that's when we will
make our bones or not. It must be legit hard
(29:40):
to find purpose as opposed to the team's chasing, you know,
the Padres. This would be a singular event for the
town of San Diego if they could knock off the
big brother and the organization and everything else. The Dodgers
are trying to get through the slot on a regular
season right.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Get us to the tournament. But you mentioned that the
series against the Phillies, that's that's really the one that'll
determine those four games, will like, is it four to three?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I think it's a four game set. I could be
wrong about that. It'll de dirt that will determine me.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
It'll determine the first and second seed, you know, because
the Brewers are running away with it at the top.
But you get that two seed and you get a
buy into the divisional round. You don't get that second seed,
and now you're playing in the wild card round, and
even if you're hosting, you're still hosting a Mets team
that's kind of caught fire and just swept those Phillies
as a matter of fact as of.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Late game home.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yeah, so that's that's a big one.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I agree, But I think outside of Los Angeles you
would get more pushback on declaring otanis the MVP right now.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Certainly, No, I think he's just in the conversation. You know,
you got Pete Crow, Armstrong, you got probably three or
four guys. Whereas before it was just a no brainer.
I think this year, with all the strikeouts with the
lower that look, he goes on a ten homer run
and gets the sixty or something, you know, gets close
to sixty. Andy's pitching at a sub three era. It's
gonna be pretty hard to rip it away from him.
(31:00):
All right, let's uh Dodger stuff, little little nuggets sort
of out of the way. By the way, Freddie also
making a comeback here as well. The last couple months.
He's a he's a dude that has not walked nearly
as much as his averages, and I would expect that
to pick up. And we've already seen that take up
here as he's now kind of getting past three hundred.
(31:23):
So great to see that. And same with Mookie and
what Dave said, hitting the stride, so step aside here
come back. Dave is the uniform man. We got to
get into something with the uniforms. Got some uniform action
on the NFL side of things, So we'll do that
next David Vasse next hour.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA Sports podcasts.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
There's Rogan and Roddee.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David Vasse,
the Dodger pod cast of Record, Clipper Talk without a Musk,
follow us all and many more. Just go to AM
five to seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
All right, going till six o'clock, Daves Say will join
us next hour. We'll have Dodgers Diamondbacks from the Gaping
Motors broadcast booth at seven to ten pm. Dodgers on
deck with Dave, No Tim Kats tonight at six and
remember we got Texas v Ohio State on Saturday at
nine am. Dave, you love uniforms. You have long been
a uniform zar, long before uniform zars became a big thing.
(32:32):
The NFL has introduced their Nike Rivalry series for twenty
twenty five, eight of them. Included in them are a
local team, the Los Angeles Rams. Not sure if you
saw Him'm assumed. I'm assuming you did. Your thoughts on
the Rams going with a black uniform that also has
(32:55):
their you know, their I don't know what college. I'd
probably call it a royal blue and gold horn thoughts.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
They're an atrocity what the Rams did? The black uniform
with royal blue sleeves. Yeah, the sleeves remain blue, but
the helmets are now black with the with the still
golden and borns. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't look right. The
solution to what ails everybody, Apparently, according to the teams
(33:25):
in Nike who designed these uniforms is just go head
to toe black or head to toe white and all
will be right.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Bills are white, forty nine ers are black.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
When everybody has a black uniform, no one has a
black uniform or something like that. It just and it
doesn't look right. And why it's so vexing if you
care about the Rams is they can't get their basic,
their standard uniform right. You don't get to move on
and start building on the sixth floor, start the four.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Old, iconic, credible Ram home uniform.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Here's how dorky I am good for Rams fans who
were long suffering and they get their team back after
they were lost at sea and or in Saint Louis
for too long. They get Stafford and they win that
Super Bowl and Aaron Donald finally gets that ring. But
they were in those highlighter uniforms and it takes away
and it always will to my eyes whenever I see
(34:22):
a highlight.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
I got one more hour to go. It's Petro some
money with Dave damascheck in

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Look on me.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Petros In Money and five seventy eight Sports live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get over to two nineteen.
Put our eyes on some college football as it gets
underway right now, Western Michigan at Michigan State. We got
Texas versus Ohio State tomorrow here nine am. That's right,
(01:14):
nine am tomorrow, Texas Ohio State on AM five to
seventy LA Sports Number one versus Number three arch Manning,
justin saying, sayn just in saying, I'm just in saying
and arch Manning, and we're gonna have college football all
weekend long, including Monday's TCU versus North Carolina. Look, am
(01:39):
I happy that we lost to UCLA? Somewhat? No, because
we love Mick Cronin and he's one of our absolute
favorite people that's ever been part of the show. However,
we did not have a relationship with the Sean Foster,
non existent. He was scheduled to come to one of
our summer tour stops and then canceled on us last
minute day before. And now we get all these great
(02:03):
college games. We're not playing UCLA anymore. So instead we're
taking the premiere game of your Saturday and putting it
right here on a five seventy LA Sports for the
college football season.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I think that arch Manning is one of those people
who has been talked about way more than has actually
been watched by the people doing the talking, largely fascinating,
big time spot for him going into the shoe and
all of that, the buzz that he's not he's going
back to school no matter what Archie, his grandfather says,
(02:33):
so he's a manning and he's going to go back
for another year and all of that. That's right, I say,
And there's no way that'll happen if if the New
Orleans Saints have the first overall pick, right, there's no
way Arch would pass up on this speriodical completion of
the circle. If arch the grandson of Archie, who lives
(02:56):
in New Orleans after being an old miss legend and
raises Peyton and Eli and Kupper in the Garden district
down there, and the New Orleans Saints have the first
overall pick, they will one hundred percent take arch and
he will make himself available to do which begs the
question why did you take Tyler Shuck Saints? Why would
you not if you were ever going to tank a season.
(03:18):
If there was ever a reason for a professional outlet
to tank a season, it would be to get Archie.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I'll tell you why. Because maybe they don't get him,
you know, because maybe they don't have the worst record.
There's a lot of bad teams out there, and so
I think it's like, well, we'll take this guy. And
you had the Cardinals burn a first round pick on
Josh Rosen and take Kyler Murray the next year. So
burning a quarterback is not a big deal, you know
what I mean. I happen to agree with that approach.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You. I agree that that is the spiritually sound approach,
the or the or the intellectually sound thing to do,
even if it doesn't seem right. It's the only position
that ultimately really matters. If you take two quarterbacks in
two years, with the first in the first round, so
be it. You got to get that writer, you're nowhere.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I was talking. We were talking to Trey Lance last
two weeks ago, and he was brought this up on
the show before. But I just it cracks me up
how odd the COVID quarterback is in college football. And
he pointed out that, you know, remember North Dakota State
played that wacky one game season because that was COVID
and everything got canceled, right, But the guys were like, well,
(04:24):
all the seniors are just going to not play football again,
like that was their last game. Well we got to
find him one game. So they played Arkansas State, but
he said, yeah, we were supposed to play Oregon like that.
We were all jacked, like, you know, we're coming off
the national championship and I'm coming back and I'm coming
off the perfect season, and you know, we get Oregon
Week one and ready to do battle. Trey Lance in
(04:45):
his fifth year, sixth year now right, I think in
the league, and he no fifth year in his fifth year,
and Tyler Shuck was the quarterback he was supposed to
face in that one game against Oregon at North Dakota
State and he is a rookie this year. And Trey
Lances on his third team in his fifth season.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And Anthony Richardson the apparent bust there in Indianapolis, I
think just now turned thirteen years old. Yeah, right, Like
the range in the age of Nil. Stuff is so crazy.
And then the COVID age. You could tell me that
that happened three years ago or twenty one years ago,
and I would not be able to tell you which
is the right answer. Doesn't everything that happened in COVID.
(05:29):
I was talking with my kids about that just last night,
about how bizarre that event.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Was and.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Where it places with insanity. Eighteen months of sheer insanity
is what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Think back, but it's really hard to reconcile.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
If anybody says, what is the what is the one signature?
Memory you have of that window of time. I think
a lot of people will be like, you know, it's
kind of nice. My daughters were, and they were all
at home because they was you know, remote. No, it
was that I could take the six oh five to
the five to the one thirty four to the iHeart
(06:11):
Studios and am five to seven to La Sports and
make it here in thirty one minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
That was nice. As a matter of every single.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Day, for like a six month window, I could do
a thirty minute commute from Seal Beach to Burbank and
it was the most glorious of things that I'd ever experienced.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You were you were like Heston in Omega man drive
in the street to downtown La.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
The empty streets. It was the most incredible feeling.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yo, moving pera.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Today We're going to walk out of here at six
pm and it's gonna be Friday Labor Day traffic and
it's gonna take me two hours to get home.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Well, I'm gonna sit in the traffic. I am running
from as soon as this is over, I am running
over to the Encino Tarzana border, Crespy, Golden Valley. He's
a home opener for Chrispy, Chase Kerr playing Jean Claude
van damashek He's a Swiss army knife. He plays some
(07:12):
tight end there, a lot of two end sets with
Lucas Moles out there, James Moffatt, a high end pass rusher,
a dominator out there, a couple of real nice receivers
for the sophomore Chase Current leading the Crespy Celts out
of mediocrity and into the limelight here in southern California.
(07:33):
Get a lot of football. He's real good. They have,
They have some legit players. Yes, watch the he is
just whatever. What would he be fifteen years old as
a sophomore. But he's got a whip this.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Time, I'm talking about your son.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
He's not. He's neither here nor there. I want to
talk about the best player now. He's very good and
I couldn't be prouder him. He's a wise acre like me,
but boy, he takes it SERI out of it's the gym,
all the rest of it. Yeah, it's funny to watch.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Does he ever ask you to spot him? Dad, give
me a spot?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I can't. What's that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I got?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I got a criok in my back spot?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
By the way, I don't know what they mean. You
mean like a bald spot. I got one of those
we have, but you can't see it.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Did a little damage up there, huh, A little shaken,
little shaken bake up there.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's right, that's right. I got the flesh yamaka. I
fill so one. I get some of that that hair
pepper that they sell at the CVS right, fill it in.
Nobody knows has a difference.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Tonight Dodgers Diamondbacks from the Galpa Motors Broadcast booths seven

(08:50):
sports dot com. Dave, I believe you have the word
of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The day I have. You know I have the Petres
and Money word of the day. But Dave's word of
the day is betrayal.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Oh, we they don't get I don't think you get
to get to the betrayal.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I don't get to talk betrayal.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, we got a little too deep into the weeds
here with the crispy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
All right, next time put a pin in that one,
you know, because it'll be a fun conversation. We get
to it, all right. The word of the day is
buck guy. We're talking college football after all. Ohio State,
the Ohio State has launched a legal challenge against a
Michigan company's attempt to trademark a phrase. The university filed
a notice of opposition with the US Patent and Trademark
(09:38):
Office to contest an application by ann Arbor restaurant the
Brown Jug. The business is seeking the trademark Buckeye tears
for use with beer and liquor products, and it's filing
Ohio State said the mark could confuse consumers into thinking
the university was connected to the products. The school sited
the value of its brand, pointing out that it's licensing
(09:59):
pro Gram generated more than one hundred and forty five
million dollars royalties and roughly two point two billion dollars
in retail sales over the past decade. University attorneys also
argued that associating alcohol with its athletic programs could damage
its reputation and dilute the strength of its buck Guy's identity. Yes,
they do not like boozing. No, that's not their thing.
(10:22):
That's not for them.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It's fresco only.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The Brown jug submitted the application last year on its
intent to use basis, meaning the phrase was not yet
in commercial circulation. So far, it's only appeared in limited form,
such as on a menu item and without any Ohio
State trademarks, logos or school colors.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
There you have it, the business of sports, the big
billion dollar business of sports.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Fascinating, fascinating, your favorite rivalry college Ohio State, Michigan.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It's pretty hard to beat, isn't it. It is pretty
hard to beat. Yeah, I think so. I mean out here,
I've been out here, you know, thirty six years, you know,
and I can remember some pretty great Notre Dame USC games.
You know, even when I was a kid. I can
remember the Rodney Pete Tony Rice Notre Dame USC game,
and that was, like, I mean, it felt like a war.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
What I enjoy. The one element of that specific rivalry
is that when it's at Notre Dame, they do it
in October, and when it's in La it's the end
of the season. I love that you get that switch.
That's it's but you know, Ohio State like and look
for me. Last year was special because Harbaugh shows up
(11:41):
fresh off a national championship trying to remember where we
were when they were playing that game. Shoot, I can't
maybe the Patriots. No, that would have been way too
late in the year. We were on the road though,
and we were doing our interview with coach and the
game was on and we were like, hey, we'll keep
(12:04):
this short, you know, and uh, let you get the
back to watching the game. And he's like, I really
appreciate it, guys. So we cut the interview short, go
into the meal room, and you know, when you're on
the road with the team, everybody eats in one massive
you know, basically like a convention hall. You know, that's
turned into caterene and all this food is out and
(12:25):
the whole football team and staff are in there, and
here's Jim Harbaugh and Joey Bosa sitting next to each
other watching Ohio State Michigan, and Ohio State's a double
digit favorite, and Michigan's giving him the business, and you know,
Bosa is acting like Harbaugh's attacking his family and coaches
(12:45):
needling in pretty good. That's it's hard to beat that,
you know, because that's that's that rivalryvalry is as gnarly
as any you know. We we talk about the business
of football, and it's obviously now insinuated itself into college
football in college basketball much more than it ever had
(13:05):
been over the last five years or so. When you
talk to pro football players, you realize they learn at
some point, if they make it to that second contract,
they really learned the oh oh man, they don't care
about me. It's just a business. They care way more,
almost across the board about their college teams and their
high school teams than they do about their pro football
(13:28):
out famous.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I agree with that they most definitely do. They all
still very much because that's what you know. Typically on Saturdays,
that's what's going on with that team, is uh oh,
that's right. We hold on is that where we were
we were in.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
What a cool thing to witness though, as I say,
we were in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Huh, we were in Pittsburgh. Yeah, we were in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I would say, not that you ask. I think people
always hold up the SC Texas National Title game is
the greatest game they've ever seen. I think that SC
at Notre Dame earlier that season is the single greatest
college football game I've ever seen. Push Yeah, the Bush push.
I mean that every touchdown score in that game is spectacular.
(14:20):
Reggie Bush goes up the middle and vaults an ND
tackler about eight yards deep into the defensive backfield and
without almost breaking stride, without losing you know, one mile
an hour how fast he was moving there to the
end of that game. That Texas SC game makes it.
But if you ever want to if you're a dork
(14:42):
and want to watch a great college football game, dig
up the Orange Bowl, Bernie Cosar and the U against
mighty Nebraska at the height of Tom Osborne's powers with
Turner Gill and Microgiar and Irving Fryar. That is a
magnificent game and maybe is the best game I've ever
seen it. Anyway, I just like to throw.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That out good stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Now and listen.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I was on the field for the final drive of
Texas and I hate it's on that right. So when
you're in the press box at the National championship game,
they bring you down on the field so you can
get all your interviews, uh immediately after the game with
the players on the field. So I happen to be
in that group. And when they bring you down, they're like, hey,
this is your quadrant, this is where you're gonna stand.
(15:30):
You go with this person, and they all walk you
out and you're on the sideline. And so I'm on
the sideline and to my right is Vince Young giving
the speech to his guys about how amazing af these guys.
We're gonna run it down their throats. We're gonna win
the National Championship in the next two minutes. Follow me,
I will take you to glory, like one of those moments.
And it's like, wow, this is kind of cool. And
(15:50):
then that's it's exactly what he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
And I'm watching on TV and that was the moment
that as much as I revered Keith Jackson, that was
the you know, maybe the game's passed them by because
Vince Young is standing there as the confetti's falling and
being mob by his teammates and it goes on for
about thirty more seconds and then Keith Jackson goes it's touchdown.
(16:14):
He's been in the end zone for a while there, Keith,
he was off, But boy, that's great. I was at
the Coliseum, went in the great maybe the greatest regular
season NFL game ever, the Chiefs and Rams shootout.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Right when the Resco City.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
No no, yeah, it was supposed to be Mexico City
was Coliseum and I was standing not just on the sideline,
but I was standing right in the corner of the
end zone. And I was holding up my cell phone
doing a dumb selfie look where I Am kind of thing,
and I see a flash of yellow running up behind me,
and it turns out it's the Rams tight end running
down the sideline right into my back for the game
(16:49):
winning touchdown. I turned around, and I was so shocked.
I didn't know what to do. I went to give
him a high five, and he looked at me and
turned around and celebrated with his teammates, and I was
made an.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Ass of but hey, it's a moment you'll never forget.
If he just gives you the high five, you're not
gonna tell somebody like And then he gave me a
high five. No much better your number.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Of the day.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Here's my number.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Number of the day.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Number of the day is ten. Out to Rosemead. And
I know a lot of people have probably already played
this today we're a late show. But if you missed it,
youth baseball got a couple of coaches getting into it.
First base coach little wind in his jaws and starts
barking at the ref the ump pardon me, he's called
a ref by someone on this video that you'll hear.
(17:35):
And well, things escalated rather quickly. I think the you
know the old I think it's Will Ferrell that had
the famous line, Well that escalated quickly. That is that
is exactly what happened out there in rose Meat. No
(18:01):
way still going bite's still gone.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
On.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
That's good. Hell of the no So, yeah, if you
missed it, go ahead. I found it on k T
l A. They had it posted. It's a it's a
rather large umpire, you know, and you got you got
some hands now this dude, you heard it call some uh,
you know, the the f and bitch there and then
(18:51):
within less than a second, right cross umpire mask from
the left side grabs them whips them to the ground
and contain and he was beating him senseless in a
ten you game. And it reminds me that I think
everybody's got a story about you sports these days, and
when things got a little sideways now, not to that
extent where an umpire and a coach or beating the
(19:14):
living crowd. Not even when the umpire is beating a
man senseless that got a little lippy and put a
finger in his face, which is incredible. And you know,
from my standpoint, I'm okay with it. You're gonna scream
that for all the kids to hear, and put your
finger in another man's face. The kids should know there's
repercussions that come with that if you're not careful, young man.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I get it. The thing that was incongruous was the aftermath.
The umpire when asked why this all went down, and said,
I was scared for my life. You have to see, yes,
oh yeah, you have to see. I was scared for
my other The two principles involved, yes to get the good.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Laughing, and you know what, It's typically how the world works, kids.
There's usually a smaller guy that's got that's got you know,
that's the it's got the words to throw around, and
then the larger person's just gonna throw the punch. That's
that's how it usually works. Little guy just wants to
argue and try to show that he's a big man
with his words. Big guys just gonna go punch.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
That is one of the early chapters that made me
into the cynic I am now. I was taught by
sitcoms when I was growing up, in movies at large
that if if you just punch the bully in the face, right,
he'll back down real fast.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Like that's right.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Go ahead and do that in real life and see
how it works out. Bullies are bullies because nobody can
beat them up. That's how you get to be a bully.
So if you punch the bully who you can't beat up,
guess what's gonna happen. It's not gonna go like the
Brady Bunch episode where Peter ends up being the hero
because he punched the bully and the bully started to
(20:50):
cry and ran off. In real life, the bully doesn't
run off. He makes you bleed.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
That's why we tip our cap to uh Dazed and confused.
Because Clinton beat the hell that's right, beat the absolute
hell out of Newton. Uh. And that's the way it goes.
You know what, I'm just gonna get in there. I'm
gonna lick in and then they're gonna break the fight up,
and then this is gonna be Now it's that hout.
It works. Everybody's gonna circle around and watch a fight.
It does remind me, though, of the one time that
(21:17):
we had some unruly parents at a my youngest daughter's
soccer game and they were yelling and screaming and everyone's
passed the ball and you gotta score. And finally, this
was the opposite sideline that was doing this right, you know,
shouting their instructions to their kids and what they needed
to do. And finally the coach had had enough and
(21:37):
he turned around to all of the parents behind him
and said, moves and dads, one voice, one voice, and
that voice would be mine. How we clear everybody shut
up for the rest of the match, and it was spectacular.
(21:57):
One voice must have echoed through the long beach and
I was like, that's what I'm talking. And that was
before the Mike Matheny letter to the parents. I'm the coach,
You're not. This was a long, long, time ago, and
God bless that man for that moment. All right, Ronnie,
we're super late. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is a song of the day.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Oh yeah, shit, getting a little excited there. Today's song
of the day is called We Are Family from Sister Sledge,
a nostalgic tune holding a special place in the hearts
of Pittsburgh's everywhere uniting a city in nineteen seventy nine,
specially selected for today on the Petros and Money Show
(22:40):
to welcome in a proud Pittsburgh native who has become
like family, more like a stepbrother. Nevertheless, he's been kind
enough to make his way into the Pinnacle Building in
Burbank to fill in for our friend Petros on a
frog Man Friday. It's Dave damashek everyone.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I appreciate it. I feel lucky, Fossio. I'm not as
lucky as David Vasse who gets to take a trip
out to Pittsburgh in the coming days because the Dodgers
are paying a visit to the Bucos and the best
ballpark in all of MLB.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
And he will join us in less than an hour
when we come back. I swear to God, Dodger quick,
little Dodger story, A little nugget from Dave Roberts, so
we can prep and get ready for Dave to join us.
That'll be nice.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
the iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Trip all summer with LA Sports, Beto saying money and
five to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Going to Dodgers v. Diamondbacks. Ronnie, what you got, oh
little Appy State? Fight song for our dear friend Daniel Jeremiah.
Appy State, Who do they got? Charlotte? I believe today
(24:05):
Appy State, Charlotte, I think is what the show done,
is just starting right now. Thank you, Ronnie.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
We said we'd get to it, and Dave's gonna join us,
so I do want to get a little top. So
here we go. Eight seven six five. Yes it's a
straight count down, eight seven sixty five, But those are
your run totals scored by the Dodgers offense after they
had averaged two per game and their previous four losses
(24:34):
two per game to Colorado and the Padres. Those four
losses eight runs total. So do we have the sound
from Dave Roberts, Ronnie. We had Dave Roberts on Wednesday
and he had kind of mentioned and he said it
with some conviction about sort of where the team.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Was like to ride the wave because players and fans
do it enough, and so I think that if people
can look at a at a you know, manager or
leader to kind of remain steadfast and calm, I think
that kind of balances things out. So, yeah, it's been
a crazy year, unpredictable. That's what makes baseball so great.
I'm enjoying the heck out of it. We're sort of
(25:17):
now where I think we're hit our stride a little bit.
And but yeah, I think the one thing that I
think people can look to me is consistency and of
kind of my demeanor. I'm never going to be Tomulus
Sorda or pat Riley.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Hit their stride. And he expounded on that and it's it's,
you know, it's a very long answer, and we appreciate
that from Dave. But what I think, Pete, look the
next three starters they're going to see starting tonight out
there in Chavez Ravine five one, three, five, six, seven,
five two four ERA. That's their next three starters. And
remember this team, the starters were never an issue. It
(25:53):
was the offense that had just disappeared. And I think
what people forget is baseball is not like any other
It is not football, where one player can have one
huge game, you know, go twelve. I saw it last
year with Quinton Johnston against the Raiders Week eighteen. He
goes thirteen for one eighty seven, and all of a sudden,
(26:14):
at the end of the year, it's like, oh, fifty
five seven to fifty eight touchdowns. That's pretty damn okay.
It was one game thirteen. I think it was one
eighty seven changes that not in baseball. Baseball is one
hundred and sixty two games. The averages are the averages,
and ultimately, with great players, they regress to whatever that is.
(26:37):
And I think that's kind of what Dave was. One
hundred over one hundred and forty to one hundred and
sixty two games. You're gonna get what you got over
one hundred games over ninety games. It's all gonna work
itself out. Shoho Tani is awesome. Right. He is on
path for another MVP, but he's got one hundred and
fifty six strikeouts on the season, tied for fourth most
(27:01):
in the big leagues. Now he is sandwiched by car
Kyle Schwarber, who had four home runs yesterday, and Cal
Raley who's got fifty as a catcher. So you'll take
that butt when the playoffs come around and show Hayes
in the box, guess what it probably gonna strike out.
It's probably gonna be some strikeouts in there, because he's
done at one hundred and fixed fifty six times this year. Now,
(27:23):
there's a flip side of that. Mookie is a career
two ninety hitter. He is hitting for his lowest average
ever two forty seven. Is he gonna get back to
two ninety, No, but the low end of his two ninety,
because there's some three twenties in there, is two sixty
five in twenty seventeen. Can he get from two forty
(27:43):
to two sixty five in a month? Yes, he can,
He absolutely can, and he's already on his way back.
He's hitting two to eighty in August after a two
to h five July. He's got a seven to fifty
ops after a disastrous five eighty six the month before,
he doubled his He doubled his rippies. He cut his
strikeouts by two thirds, and he was a twenty five
(28:05):
the thirty five homer guy in seven of his eleven seasons.
He's at fourteen. So baseball tells you, look, he's probably
going to have a big like it's probably gonna have
a big August, probably gonna have a big September.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Take a look at what the Dodgers have left in
the regular season. They have a four game set with
the Phillies, and outside of that, there wouldn't be There's
not a series that you would maybe seattle.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
At the end of the year if they're fighting for
a spot the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
If things break as you say based on expectation, the
Dodgers should be okay and be able to hold off
the Padres and take the West once again. It's fascinating
baseball versus the other sports. Like you say, is it's
a team sport, but individual, which is when you're in
the batter's box, you have to produce. And what Dave
(28:54):
Roberts was just talking about is what you've heard your
entire lifetime. If you follow baseball, baseball every day and
all of that. Don't get too high, don't get too low.
I feel like riding the wave of we're red hot
right now, and all of that is not what the
Dodgers go through. And what's going on in this summer
of discontent for Dodgers fans or underachievement based on the
(29:18):
name brands that we're talking about that you just threw
out there, I do wonder, sincerely, they're human beings, after all.
It must be hard in June and July when you
dominate your division every year and the expectation is nothing
matters until we get October and that's when we will
make our bones or not. It must be legit hard
(29:40):
to find purpose as opposed to the team's chasing, you know,
the Padres. This would be a singular event for the
town of San Diego if they could knock off the
big brother and the organization and everything else. The Dodgers
are trying to get through the slot on a regular
season right.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Get us to the tournament. But you mentioned that the
series against the Phillies, that's that's really the one that'll
determine those four games, will like, is it four to three?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I think it's a four game set. I could be
wrong about that. It'll de dirt that will determine me.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
It'll determine the first and second seed, you know, because
the Brewers are running away with it at the top.
But you get that two seed and you get a
buy into the divisional round. You don't get that second seed,
and now you're playing in the wild card round, and
even if you're hosting, you're still hosting a Mets team
that's kind of caught fire and just swept those Phillies
as a matter of fact as of.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Late game home.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yeah, so that's that's a big one.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I agree, But I think outside of Los Angeles you
would get more pushback on declaring otanis the MVP right now.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Certainly, No, I think he's just in the conversation. You know,
you got Pete Crow, Armstrong, you got probably three or
four guys. Whereas before it was just a no brainer.
I think this year, with all the strikeouts with the
lower that look, he goes on a ten homer run
and gets the sixty or something, you know, gets close
to sixty. Andy's pitching at a sub three era. It's
gonna be pretty hard to rip it away from him.
(31:00):
All right, let's uh Dodger stuff, little little nuggets sort
of out of the way. By the way, Freddie also
making a comeback here as well. The last couple months.
He's a he's a dude that has not walked nearly
as much as his averages, and I would expect that
to pick up. And we've already seen that take up
here as he's now kind of getting past three hundred.
(31:23):
So great to see that. And same with Mookie and
what Dave said, hitting the stride, so step aside here
come back. Dave is the uniform man. We got to
get into something with the uniforms. Got some uniform action
on the NFL side of things, So we'll do that
next David Vasse next hour.

All right, going till six o'clock, Daves Say will join

Motors broadcast booth at seven to ten pm. Dodgers on
deck with Dave, No Tim Kats tonight at six and
remember we got Texas v Ohio State on Saturday at
nine am. Dave, you love uniforms. You have long been
a uniform zar, long before uniform zars became a big thing.
(32:32):
The NFL has introduced their Nike Rivalry series for twenty
twenty five, eight of them. Included in them are a
local team, the Los Angeles Rams. Not sure if you
saw Him'm assumed. I'm assuming you did. Your thoughts on
the Rams going with a black uniform that also has
(32:55):
their you know, their I don't know what college. I'd
probably call it a royal blue and gold horn thoughts.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
They're an atrocity what the Rams did? The black uniform
with royal blue sleeves. Yeah, the sleeves remain blue, but
the helmets are now black with the with the still
golden and borns. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't look right. The
solution to what ails everybody, Apparently, according to the teams
(33:25):
in Nike who designed these uniforms is just go head
to toe black or head to toe white and all
will be right.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Bills are white, forty nine ers are black.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
When everybody has a black uniform, no one has a
black uniform or something like that. It just and it
doesn't look right. And why it's so vexing if you
care about the Rams is they can't get their basic,
their standard uniform right. You don't get to move on
and start building on the sixth floor, start the four.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Old, iconic, credible Ram home uniform.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Here's how dorky I am good for Rams fans who
were long suffering and they get their team back after
they were lost at sea and or in Saint Louis
for too long. They get Stafford and they win that
Super Bowl and Aaron Donald finally gets that ring. But
they were in those highlighter uniforms and it takes away
and it always will to my eyes whenever I see
(34:22):
a highlight.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
I got one more hour to go. It's Petro some
money with Dave damascheck in
