And then you guys say, Garciaparty one more time? No, here

(02:08):
we go. Garciapara is our guestright here on am FI seventy LA Sports,
one of the greatest shortstops of alltime, at least that we've seen
in our lifetime, and a belovedmember of the Spectrum Sports Net LA broadcast
team. He's at Dodger Stadium tonightand he's here to talk to us about
the finer things in baseball and thedetails which he's so fabulous at. A

(02:32):
great American and a great person.No more. Garcia Para on the Toyota
Celebrity So Cal Dealers Hotline. Hello, Nomar, how are you. I'm
doing great, gentlemen, how areyou doing? Sounds like you guys are
in a blast out there in BuenaPark. Yeah, times are yeah.
And you know, we had yourinfield mate, Jason negro On in the

(02:53):
first hour talking about his Bosco Bravefootball team. Did you ever think that
he would become the greatest high schoolfootball coach of all time? All right,
I didn't think about it when wewere in high school together. But
also knowing him, it's not surprisingthat he is speacause he's just one of
the classiest and greatest human beings thatI know. Give us an idea,

(03:14):
no more. What was Bosco likeback when you were there in the late
eighties through the early nineties versus whatthat sports power? How baseball just won
regionals, the basketball team just onestate football team, of course, is
routinely the number one team in thenation. What was it like when you
were there versus what sports and athleticsis like there now? Well, I'll

(03:34):
tell you we are definitely decent andcompeted in those sports. I mean,
not where they are finishing now asfar as football is on another level.
Jason has definitely taken that program toanother level that it wasn't when I was
there. It probably didn't help thatI was on the team, so that
might have brought it down a bitas well. But at the same time,

(03:55):
you know, in other sports,we're always competing going to the you
know, to the playoffs, neverreally maybe got to the finals. But
in baseball we were competing going intopostseason, soccer or the other sports,
and the basketball team as well alwayshad decent teams. So it was always
it was always a school that hadgood sports. But to the level where

(04:16):
they are now looking at the campus, to seeing the amenities, to seeing
how they're growing, to see theinvestment that they have put into that school,
it is taking it to another leveland it is really great to see.
No mar Garcia Para is our guest, a man with a pragmatic and
analytical mind. What's the season beenlike for you, Nomar still early,

(04:38):
but watching Mookie Betts doing what he'sdoing, taking on this challenge of playing
everyday shortstop and learning to be excellentor trying to be excellent at that position
almost day in and day out.What has that been like and what are
your impressions of it. Well,you know, I'm smiling because you know,

(04:59):
when you listen to him get interviewedabout it, One, he's extremely
hard on himself. Two he talksabout how hard that position is, and
I chuckle because I'm like, yeah, it is hard, and being in
the big leagues is hard, butthat position, yeah. And I think
it's also maybe maybe if people arelistening to Miky, who is just one
of the greatest athletes in all ofsports, going out there and listen to

(05:23):
him having so much trouble or howmuch it is really wearing on him or
wearing maybe not the right word,but how much it is a challenge for
him. I think also gives thosewho have played it and continue to play
it, you know, maybe shitflight on, like wow, like these
guys that have played it, howmuch they make it look so easy.
I look at Miguel Rojas and Iwatch him at shortstop and I'm looking at

(05:45):
like, man, this guy makesit way look way too easy. But
Mookie Betts is so hard on himself, and I think he has to also
take a step back and give himselfa break because he is doing a good
job over there. He is atremendous athlete. It is. It is
a hard position. Is hard totry to learn a new position, and
especially a position like shortstop right inthe middle of the season at the big

(06:06):
league level with all the microscope andyou're the Dodgers and you're expected to go
out there and win. And heexpects to be a goal club shortstop right
off the bat, and it's justnot going to work out that way.
It just takes time. But hehas to give himself a break because he
is holding his own and what he'sdoing is a big challenge, is a
tremendous challenge and also just speaks thevolumes of his character. On listen,

(06:28):
I'll do wherever you ask, whateveryou need to help our team win.
All right, No, mar stupidquestion, which is no surprise for me,
But can you share with the folkslistening? Why is shortstop so hard?
Why do we talk about Mookie potentiallywearing down by the end of the
season. What makes it so muchharder than say center field or the hot
corner or just its mirror opposite onthe other side of the field second base.

(06:53):
Why is that a position that routinelywears guys down and is sided and
we know it from high school andcollege, right the best athlete always plays
shortstop. Why is that? Well, one the way you have to the
way you move along the field.It's the one position that wherever the ball's
hit, you're going. If it'shit to the left, you're going,
if it's hit to the right,you're going. You're always going to wherever

(07:15):
the ball is going. And ifyou think about all the balls that are
maybe hitting the outfield, who's usuallyreceiving the ball as it's coming in us
to the short stuff? You knowthey down the left field line is going
to the shortstop in the gap,we're probably short stuff. I know right
center. Some people put the shortstuff instead of the second basement out there
in the right center gap. Somost of the time they're getting the ball
in their hand even when players aregoing to the outfield, so they're moving

(07:38):
constantly. So that's one. Theother thing is the one position in the
infield that once the ball is hitand put in play if there's a ground
ball, that you will already haveto be in a position or get your
body in a position to already beprepared to throw the ball. You don't
have the luxury. Let's say you'reat third base and they talk about the

(07:59):
hot corner. Let's say the ballis just hit hard to you and you
knock it down. You have timeto pick it up and then set your
feet and then throw the ball tofirst base. Even at second base,
there are times when you get aball hit to you, even if you
bobble it or you still maybe youmight be off just to step when you
feel it and maybe look like youget handcuffed or uncomfortable, you still have
time to set your feet and getthe out at first base. Sure stuff,

(08:22):
you don't have that luxury. Everythinghas to be in sanc. Everything
has to be in rhythm the momentthat ball is hit. You have to
be in a position to be gettingyour body and your momentum thrown the first
base and that's what makes it sochallenging. So if you're off just the
hair, like I remember, therewere times where there was a ground ball
hits me and I was at shortand sometimes I didn't like to catcher who

(08:45):
actually wore you see their chest protectorand their shin guards if it had a
muddy gray chess protector or shine guardsbecause it was the same color as the
baseball and sometimes when the ball wouldcome into the strike to the hitting zone
and the strikes, as I'm followingthat ball in from the picture and the
hit or made contact, I wouldlose it into the it would blend into

(09:07):
the catcher's chest protector. And thatsplit second of me losing the ball just
the hair threw me off a littlebit as far as my rhythm when it
was coming to field in the groundball. So even something like that,
a little bit like that can throwoff my rhythm not only maybe from killing
it, but also not only fromfailing it, but I might be off
a little bit from my throat.I throw might sail on me, or

(09:28):
might short off the first basement justbecause I may have missed that, or
I may have just blinked a littlebit and not seen the ball perfectly off
the bat. That's just a littlenuance. So there's so much that goes
into it that you have to bepreparing yourself to go to first base,
and it's the only and it's theonly position on the field that you have
to do that like the other one. Like I said, with other positions

(09:48):
you maybe have some margin for air. There there's a lot less margin for
air that you have unbelievable analysis ofa great now bar. I got to
see a plas, who are yougoing to get that nowhere? Right here
in the shadow of Saint John Bosco? Uh no, mar that was awesome.

(10:09):
Are you surprised, I asked Bessayabout this. You know what a
great hitter he was at Notre DameHigh. Were you surprised? Are you
surprised at how much trouble the Dodgersare having with the bottom of the lineup?
Well, there are surprised because youhave you have some great players in
the in the in on this teamand out, so hitting at the bottom

(10:31):
part of the lineup, and theyare obviously not just hitting to their potential,
and so there is a surprise therefor sure. But you know,
at the same time, you know, you're just wondering. You know,
there's been a lot of opportunity.There's guys with the calling up that can
get an opportunity, and I thinkthe other surprises nobody's just to embrace it.
Nobody's taking you know, nobody's hadhas been able to embrace that opportunity

(10:54):
to say, hey, I'm goingto show that I deserve to play every
day. I want to play everyday and then I'm going to prove that.
I just I'm going to get hits. And so just to collectively the
struggles all of them have is justa little sprisee because usually so you can
see maybe one or two, butthe amount of guys down there right now
that are struggling, Like with nograil Rowacks is looking outside, he's been
looking one of the best down therein the bottom part of that line up.

(11:16):
Miguel just I don't think he couldplay every single day because it once
again play shorts, out plays allsorts of positions. He knows he's coming
here and spot's starting to do whatever'sask. It brings an incredible energy,
but to do that every day,I think will take its toll. So
I think that's why we don't seehim out there, because it's definitely hitting
like you should be out there everysingle day, but just waiting for that,

(11:37):
whether it's a young kid, whetherit's one of these better and guys,
whatever, somebody just try to embraceand say, listen, I'm going
to start you know, hitting havea better just quality of it at back.
It's not always just the hits,but quality of that bat to do
something out this win to make sureI'm going to line up every day,
Omar, we have not seen aLook, every baseball player goes through slumps.

(12:01):
It's say, it's a sport offailure. It's a very hard sport
to play mentally and make sure youkeep yourself sharp and not get too down
on yourself. But we have notseen a slump. We're almost through,
you know. I mean it's nothalf a season, but we're getting there.
And Chris Taylor, what like ifhe were to ask you for advice,
what would you say to him?Or do you say anything? I
mean, he obviously knows he's reallystruggling and has for the last couple of

(12:22):
seasons. But how does he getout of this? Uh? Well,
if he were to ask me foradvice or be I'd be talking about his
mechanics that I've seen for quite awhile now, the hole in his swing,
the loop and his swing. Ithink there's a lot of guys that
have a hole in loop in theirswing. I think we've seen that collectively
throughout baseball, which also I thinkhas affected some of the numbers and some

(12:45):
of the averages and some of thelow kind of offense. We've seen it
all across the board of baseball rightnow, but he has one where it
really is you know, when hestarts his hands, the way the bat
moves, where he's about to hit, where the angle of the barrel is,
and then trying to get into thathitting zill. So there's a lot.
I'm a really big follow up thatpath person. I always keep my

(13:09):
one that I did that when Iwas that short stuff. Defensively, I
knew when the guy was swinging.I can tell where the ball was going
to go even before it's hitch.So I was always following that path.
So I do that even from theoffensive side when I watch others. And
so there's things that he does mechanicallythat really affects that path to the ball,
which makes it hard to square upconsistently. The one and only No

(13:30):
mar Garciapara a friend to all anda Dodger analyst, and the Dodgers are
lucky for it. Chris Taylor bettergo talk to him. Yeah, Chris,
have a great night tonight. Thatlook about your swing and you see
that say around. He got kindof embarrassed doing the interview in front of
you. Well, he did haveto walk away. It was pretty funny
because you're just there. I saidhi to him, and he's like,

(13:52):
wait a minute, I'm doing theinterview and I'm like, he says,
you're doing it. Later I said, yeah, I go, I got
five, you have four thirty.And then I go, you know,
I go just warm them up forme. Know that's what keeps Ryan.

Do it. But here's the thing. So here's what I was thinking

(16:52):
as I was trying to craft atop story in the topic of sports.
We're at the Rock and right everybody'shaving a good time. Sucking back some
succulent SuDS, some delicious drinks.Maybe, if you're a real weirdo,
you've asked for a pinot or ashow. I guess the whites are okay.
You know you pair the white winewith a nice chicken. I tell

(17:15):
you, the l Kicker's wife washaving a nice shardin Agdehah. There we
go, a buttery shard back there, Tommy. Maybe someone's got the loaded
tots out there, the bone inor the boneless saucy nugs, whatever you
prefer. It has been a wonderfulafternoon slash early evening. Maybe you go
the route of the prize hooker.Hey, I don't hear this guy bagging
on lebron right now, I'm settingit talking about the prize hook I'm setting

(17:37):
it up because the prize hooker wouldalways get dessert. So if you got
those purple rain chocolate filled deep frieddonuts, God bless you, or even
And I know this, I knowthis to be a fact. Neil Young
will not license his food and buyfood, I mean his music, because
we consume it like it's food.Yeah, that's right. It gives us
energy. Well, everybody loves that. Neil Young grain. Neil Young will

(18:00):
not license his music for commercial activity, but when he heard that Rock and
Bruise was gonna have the Cinnamon Girlbread pudding, he was like, do
it, do it? Do it? Crazy Horse told me I should do
it. So as you enjoy allof your food as your drinks, I
would love for you to continue withyour carefree and fancy foot Friday. And

(18:23):
again a big thank you to allof you for coming out, because without
you, the summer tour stops donot happen. And without your support,
we cannot do this. We wouldnot have five more and God bless all
of you. But I will tellyou I was thinking I had a moment
of pause this morning. Was itabout the Lakers? It was? It

(18:45):
was about the Lakers because I wastrying to craft what the top story,
the sports story of the day wouldbe. And as I was sitting out
there like an engineer, like theguy that built the Brooklyn bree exactly right,
John Roblin, just like John Robinout there in the middle of the
ocean, save guy, that guyand this guy right here, the same
guy basically sitting through a lull.I realize there's nothing I can do.

(19:07):
There is nothing I can do rightnow about the fact that nothing has come
through at this particular spot in thelast twenty minutes. As I sit in
this water, the mouth of theSanta Anna River, waiting for a wave,
I'm waiting for a way. Thisis about surfing. Well sort of
it was, but it was Ithought. I am being polluted by crackhead

(19:30):
runoff that has come down the riverand found its way to exit into the
Pacific Ocean. As I am gettingsome sort of terra firma astro entrinitis because
I have chosen to sit in thewater at this spot. You live by
an urban runoff area. Yes,I realized there's nothing. There's like a
whole bunch of refineries there too.In that moment, I said to myself,

(19:51):
what's the point, What is thepoint for any of us, for
any of the Laker faithful that arehere right now? Because we have Laker
fans here right. Yes, youguys love the lake as there used to
be, exactly right. But here'sthe sad thing, and you talk about
it in the context of getting nailedby the king. Well, but we

(20:12):
got to put our heads down andtake it because they do not care,
They do not care a Dallas courtsidewith her Man Rich Paul, the television
mommies of the bastard Babies of Calabasasor regular attendees, and they get the
spotlight. You mean the Kardasher Exactlyright. Somehow Georgia native Denver for a

(20:34):
decade, Raven for a minute,tight end. Shannon Sharp is a Laker
lover and a regular fixed your courtside to push his club, shayshe why
people love it, I don't know, but they do. They've sold their
local soul exactly right. P Andit's not just all of you that they've
sold out, but they've sold outJack and Diane. You mean Jack Nicholson

(20:57):
and Diane Cannon. They've sold themout. They've sold out Danzel Washington and
in doing that, Matt, theysold out Jack and Diana of America.
Exactly right. They are more committedto Quabo and Jack freaking Harlowe. That
is what they have embraced. Ithas passed all of us by. I

(21:19):
never thought i'd say it. Inever thought i'd when sad this happened.
When Billy Mack was interviewing Nicole Richie, when did they really sell their soul?
I'll tell you when they sold theirsoape. When I started feeling bad
about Andy Garcia no longer making therundown of celebrities on the jumps, and
I was like, you know what, where's Andy Garcia? I felt bad.

(21:41):
I used to give Andy Garcia grieffor sitting in the second row and
showing up late with his sunglasses andhis backward beret and his stupid scarves.
And now I cannot believe that AndyGarcia is no longer in a celebrity rotation.

(22:02):
It's deal, it's kid Cuddy,It's five thousand dollars sneakers and freaking
fifty thousand dollars Jesus pieces sit incourtside that get all of the attention.
This is what the Lakers have become. Lia Lebron James Era exactly right.
TikTok tds, that's what they putand I'm tired of it. I'm tired

(22:27):
of it. We're tired of theTikTok tds. Yes, I want the
old wrinkle face of Diane Cannon.Yeah, we want back up on the
jumbo tree. You want her femaleBassett hound boobs uptown. So you know
what I've decided to be Just hireJJ Reddick. Just hire them, Just
hire him and put a freaking bowon it. Who cares if the head

(22:48):
coach of the Los Angeles Lakers hasnever coached a game in his life,
not one, not one high school, not one college, not one G
League, not one Russian child IsraeliLeague. Yeah, they'd hire a Bernie
bickerstaff type to tell him when tocall a time out. Though, man,
I mean it's all right. He'snever hired a staff col turmoy cal
Turmer. Hold on, I'm tryingto draw up my whiteboard and I've got

(23:12):
a few hairs out of place.He's never logged logistics for a road trip
to determine what the schedules should looklike. None of it. But who
cares. He's on TV. JJReddick is a TV in social media celebrity
because two analystit ESPN, one wasfired and one quit midseason, gave way

(23:33):
for him to sit in that seat. If they didn't hire him, they'd
hire Chiny exactly right, they would, or McNutt. So he's calling the
NBA Finals. He's got podcasts thatperformed very well, including one with a
guy who's the most famous athlete inAmerica. Not as well as the Petterson
Money Podcast on the iHeartRadio app foryour smartphile just can't step to us.

(23:57):
He's got bad medicine in his soul, like bon Jovi when he goes after
stephen A and the Mad Dog ina disgusted and disparaging fashion. You love
his luck. Bad medicine. Badmedicine is what I need. Wool,
shake it up, all right.He tore up those Boston boobs, Felger

(24:18):
and Maz just like he wheeled ina freaking charcoal grill to the bathroom and
called it a life. JJ Reddickthe guy from Boston exactly read did you
just make a suicide joke about theguy from Boston? No? But I
did? You totally did? Youreally didn't take Bronnie at fifty five?

(24:40):
You could go your own way.I already thought about it. I already
thought about it. Pee. They'regonna I mean, listen, everybody,
send this the freezing cold takes.I don't care send it. They're gonna
draft Bronnie at fifty five, andRamona is gonna write a piece that starts
like this. Father's Day was tendays ago. But Lebron James gladly waited

(25:03):
for the greatest gift he could haveever imagined, being teammates with his eldest
child. That's gonna happen. Isee that in my mind's eye. And
we're gonna wear it. We're gonnawear it. We're gonna bend over and
wear it. And you know what, and you know what right now,
if you're a Laker fan and you'retrying to look up and you can't see,
that's because Bob Coosey's got his wrinklingballs right on your eyes. He's

(25:26):
just he's just I mean, you, guys, we're wearing it. We're
wearing it. And I and lookas a parent, and many of you
here are parents, sooner or later, you just give in, all right.
The kids aren't gonna turn the lightsout when they leave the room.
They're not gonna put the phone downat dinner. I just you quit.
You throw on the towel, andyou say, I'll celebrate the wins,

(25:47):
whatever they may be. And Inow just have to wear the defeats.
I can't keep pushing back against them. So let it be known, Ronnie,
Rob Polink, is he listening tothe show, big fans of this,
listen to your guys input and whenthe fans call in, I got
my ear tuned to that too.Just really really appreciate it. And then
the opportunity to talk to you guysand all the great conversations you have Horsecraft

(26:11):
exactly, he's not listening to ourshow. Oh it's taking a call since
nineteen ninety two. He is notreading Bill Plashki. He does not care
about the temperature of the Squeaky Wheelfan base. That's everybody here. Do
we approve of the job that RobPolinka is doing. Exactly? Oh,
there's one guy that's like, yeah, he is not the NBA Finals And

(26:32):
here's why. And here is whythe NBA Finals is happening. The Boston
Celtics are about to break a tiewith the Lakers for the most championships in
NBA history. Yes, boom yeahcooozy. Yet for a minute there,
everybody rooz he's got one foot inthe grave. Everyone was talking about Dan
Hurley and lebron James and Bronnie andnow they're talking about JJ Reddick. It

(26:56):
is a reminder that when it comesto the Lakers, winning does not matter.
Winning does not matter. Oh,a screaming match is broken out on
the table number one. Listen,you worked for us. You shut your
mouth and you listen. Damn it. A screaming match is broken out between
Joe Danner and Brian Blackmail. Theywant Lebron. There's a hot topic.

(27:17):
Ki plus Lakers equals ratings gold,especially when there's adversity. So just keep
pumping it, keep selling how closethey are to get over the hump.
How everyone but Lebron is letting theLakers Like I'm in that if I'm a
Laker fan, which I'm not.Thank God, I feel it. You
guys, did none of this happened? I don't root for the Lakers.

(27:38):
What I just never did. Isaw the goofy looking white guys on the
Celtics and I said, those aremy guys. And I saw Rob Paris
smoking a big old doobie and Iwas like, that's my guy right there,
the Chief Chief and big Hay.But anyway, anyway, I'm not
a big Laker fan, but Ihave to say, like, if I
was a Laker fan, I wouldbe infuriated. You would think, I

(28:02):
mean, you're like, it's likebeing in that prison that Batman was in.
You know, you can't get out. You're not gonna get out,
not without some incredible feat of acrobaticismthat you can't handle, only persuade.
You'll never make it out. Thatis thinking of the bank of prison.
You'll never make it. You willnever make it out. Yeah, I
mean, that's what you guys arein. You guys are in the batman

(28:22):
prison Man. We love Genie Buss. She is one of our all time
favorite Tell her what she's what wesaid when she comes O, yes,
jerk. She doesn't know. Shetreats us way better than she should,
considering our commonary concerning her governance ofone of Los Angeles's most valuable and important
properties. But this is her business. The NBA is not a zero sum

(28:44):
game when it comes to the Lakers. They can lose and they can still
win because of how much the nationalmedia pushes a Laker driven agenda. So
here's the thing, which do youthink she prefers? If they hired James
Barrego, they will say, youknow what, the Lakers acted like adults.
They hired someone with experience, someoneresponsible. Applause, golf clap,

(29:11):
golf clap. Way to go,Rob Polinka, Way to go, Jennie.
And guess what They'll never talk aboutthe Lakers for the rest of the
summer because James Barrego does not movethe needle. However, you hire JJ
Reddick, and you bet your assthere are daily updates, There are screaming
heads. Can you believe a guythat's never coached before is going to be

(29:32):
coaching Lebron James a podcast? Didyou hear him tear apart Felgar and Maz
Did you see his side part andall of his gel and what a douche
he is whenever he does media interviews. Know the way the Lakers operate exactly
right? Take the last big one, for God's sakes, there's only one
left. The way. This ishow the Lakers are popping your balloon.

(29:53):
The Lakers operate by making moves.This is all a charade. It is
all a giant shirt. Oh yeah, hey, I'm over here. The
blade almost hit him in the head. One more time, one more time
for the YouTubers. Ready, herewe go like a dart, Like a

(30:17):
dart if you add hope the balloonis popped. JJ Reddick will be in
the freaking Lakers head coach by Monday, and we're all gonna have to wear
it like a dart. Like adart, right, and he's gonna exactly
right wear the freaking triple twenty andit's coming right at us. So just

(30:41):
give in, just like the kidsnot freaking flushing the toilet or making their
beds plus the toilet and make yourpad. Damn it. That's all all
right, Hey, well done.I thought that was really good. But
he started talking about dessert and thepollution in the in the in the bay.
I didn't understand where it was going. Now we all understand how.

(31:03):
You just got to accept it.There's crackheads that live along the Santa Ana
River. I've got to wear theirexcrement every morning. I have my local
government, Matt, No, yougo to those city council meetings, you
file your grievance. They spend moneythe way you tell them how. A
