slammed his limo door.

We recapped a day's appearance on Rogan and Rodney in
which Fred asked him who his pregame guest was yesterday
and then Fred said, oh, yeah, there's no game. Who's
your guest on Dodger Talk tonight? And Dave just got
so flustered with free hung out.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They've got finished. That's a fun fact in it of itself.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Look at that, But that is a Mike Silver v.
Pad O'Brien like confrontation.
Speaker 3 (02:48):

They are over straight out the gate.

Did you know the most common job in twenty nine
of the fifty American states is driving a truck, including California.
As we look at the West coast, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming,
and Idaho, truck driver the most common job the rest
(03:53):
of the West Washington software developer Utah, Colorado, the same
Nevada retail clerk, Arizona customer service, New Mexico secretary.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, I know where they learn to drive a truck.
Here in Southern California. They learned from dutes and driving schools. Dudes,
and driving schools are the best. Take it from me.
I'm Debbie Duots. Huh. Time for quickts. Everybody look to
the ms quickets.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Come make it.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Nine game road trip for the Dodgers continues. We will
get to Tampa in the very next segment. Joining us
right now from.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Tampa with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vassie Report with David Vasse, brought to.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You by Service Titan dot Com. It is David vass
in the midst of the road trip lunch with Tommy
Edmond and Freddie Freeman yesterday. He's really living his life.
We were right on top of the trade. The headline
he said May was going to get traded, and he did.
And today and today Kershaw goes but tomorrow's big blakes now.
(05:08):
So a lot going on for David Vasse on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Hello, Dave, how are you.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I'm doing great. I'm out here at George Steinbrenner Field.
Blake Snell is playing catch and preparation for his big
return tomorrow. And tonight we got Clayton Kershaw on the mountain.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
What's it like out there, Dave? We haven't seen that stadium,
at least I haven't watched any games from that stadium.
Don't know what it looks like. What's it going to
be like tonight? What are the players say? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, I could just tell you. The press box has
twenty five seats. I don't have one. The radio booth
is extremely small. It may have been better for me
to do Dodger talk for my hotel room, considering the
constraints in this ballpark. My understanding is though the clubhouse
is first class, a lot of room in there. The
(06:04):
dugouts spacious enough, But certainly it feels like we're back
in spring training and it's August first, Dave.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
The Chargers did it for five years out here before
moving to Sofar, and it was one of those things
that you said, Hey, every fan of NFL football ought
to get out here and see this. Just how unique
of an experience. Because spring training is different. I guess
you do have an opportunity, but you know Otani might
get one at bat here or something like that. But
what is that venue?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Like?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
How unique is that venue to see Clayton Kershaw take
them ound, Otani and Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman play
a whole game of baseball? Is it that intimate? How
different is it?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah? For a regular season game, a game that matters.
This is as close as you'll ever get to those guys. Look,
it's a standard spring training stadium. They have some patio
seating in the right field as a lookout right now,
But it's everything that you guys have experienced in Arizona.
It's a spring training facility. It's George Steinbrenner Field. This
(07:11):
is where the Yankees have their spring trainings. And I
guess you could take it in that some of the
greats like Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, those Yankees burst onto
the scene here at this field. The Rays have dressed
it up as best as possible to make it feel
like it's theirs as well, But there's no getting around it.
(07:32):
This is not conventional.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
What was the vibe or the mood? Like, we know
you had lunch with some of those guys yesterday being
the trade deadline, and now that the dust has settled,
are there any more conclusions to draw from how things
went on the trade deadline yesterday? Certainly a lot of action,
Like you said, the most action we can remember since
we've covered MLB the way we have, just not necessarily
(07:58):
with the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yeah, for sure. Petros and I took the bus ride
into Steinbrenner Field with Dave Roberts and he was really
excited about brock Stewart and Alex Call. He loves the
way Alex Call approaches at bats. He's a really good
defensive outfielder. He kills lefty's, So it's what they were
looking for, a right handed bat. Brock Stewart's been outstanding
(08:24):
against right handed hitters as a pitcher. But you know,
if you just look at what the Dodgers did this offseason,
that's where they did all their heavy lifting, and they
just needed to fill in a couple of holes with
some of the injuries. They just need Taoscar Hernandez and
Mookie Betts to be ta Oscar Hernandez and Mookie Bets.
(08:44):
They need Tommy Edmund to be Tommy Edmund because even
if they got Mason Miller or closer X, if those
guys don't hit and don't perform, the Dodgers are not
going to win.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
It's that simple, Dave, What about the division? I mean
we have seen aj Preller does not give a damn
about prospects.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What kind of.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Message do you think it sends, if any, if they
care to the Dodgers. I mean, you know a lot
of these names that Dodger fans probably don't, but I
mean they sent out one of the top prospects in
baseball to get that Mason Miller deal done. They add
three new starters, a left field, they're a DH and
a catcher. They get their rotation depth sorted. Like, what
(09:29):
did you make of what Preller decided to do and
what the Padres might see ahead of them? And it
seemingly looks like pushing all their chips to the center
of the table and going for it this year.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Yeah, I mean he did more yesterday than he did
all off season. The Padres added Gavin Sheets and Jason
Hayward this offseason, so he had a lot of work
to do. And yeah, it kind of feels like, you
know what we don't have the financial wherewithal like we
had before, but we do have these prospects and that's
(10:02):
the only capital that I have. And he went all
in to get a guy to build a really good
bullpen to go along with the other guys they have already,
you know, under the radar. I mean, this is a
trolling move by me, but I'm really excited that the
Padres traded for Nestor Cortez. Ready, Freeman should be really
happy about that.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Oh, David Vasse is our guest taking shots all over
the place that the players can't believe the things that
come out of his mouth. Speaking of your relationships, what
do you expect from SNeW tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Look, it's put up for shut up time at this point, Petros,
He's missed the majority of the season. It's now time
for him to show and reward the Dodgers in the
faith they showed him by giving him a long term
contract that is more than he has ever signed for
in his entire career. And I guess being back here
(11:00):
in Florida, you hope that he feels comfortable. It's a
good setting for him. So it's now or never for
guys like him in Glass Now the Dodgers went all
in with their starting pitching with these guys. That's how
they built out their off season. Now it's time for
them to deliver because those are the guys they decided
(11:20):
to acquire and really devote a lot of their resources to.
So it's I would expect Blakes now from here on
out to be the Blakes now that we saw the
second half of each of his last three seasons.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Last one, Dave, I know you probably addressed it yesterday
and there's been considerable conversations surrounding it. But we're good
with the cramps. We're all good now. Florida awfully humid
this time of year. You know, it's only going to
get hotter. Like, where are we at with the cramp situation?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yeah, that was Otani's right hip. He says he'll pitch
on Wednesday, which is also a day game at Roger
Stadium against the Cardinals. But he said it was it
lost up on him in the first inning and it
really started to bother him after the third inning, and
that's when you know, the Dodgers saw Dave Roberts actually
saw something to pitched before he took him out. So, yeah, Otani,
(12:17):
after we spoke to him that night, felt like he
would be good to go. We'll monitor whether or not
he does his normal routine, but it's got a lot
of time to be able to work it out, all.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Right, Dave, Well, we sure appreciate you joining us. We
know it's a long trip. You're almost done and you
have to get through the cramped confines of George Steinbrenner's
Field or whatever before you get home. Have fun and
we'll enjoy the game and have fun with Snell. We
hope that he has success for all of our sakes.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
David Vasi, I agree, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
He's there, he goes. Uh So, back to quick Hits, Matt.
The Angels they're at home versus the White Sox tonight.
They're making a push for the playoffs. They're a lot
like the race four games back in the Al wild
Card race, and.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Can only hope the the Angels in the outfield make
their return.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Quite the ut an Angel with you right now, just
got here and he's gonna help.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Quite the site at Angel Stadium. Although these Angels weren't
a friendly chanting already sucks sell the team, but quite
the atmosphere out there.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, they're there to help in a different way.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yes, fine.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Putting pressure on ownership to get the hell out of town.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, yes too.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I kind of feel like the Angel fans are onto
something here. They can get that whole right field pavilion
to be like the Angels in the outfield section every
single games, more like Yankee Stadium other places around baseball.
It could be a real home field advantage for them.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You'd be sweet if they get that black kid and
Joseph Gordon Levitt to show up up. It'd be like
in the crowd, you know, like Stacey is in the
crowd at those hockey games.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
What what's the f C? The LA f C. They
got their three two, nine to five, four to six.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Eight seven sixers, yeah, seven six, eight hundreds.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, you get that going, you know, you get you know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
What is you don't know what you're knowing.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It is the Riot squad for the Gallas.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
The Riot squad.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
We were tight with them, you know. I mean that's
what we're talking about. It had going.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
With Panton and then I have Dona. The All Star
Game is gonna be in the Friendly Confines, Matt. That's
that's exciting. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Announced the twenty twenty seven MLB All Star Game going
to be played at historic Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It was made today.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Gonna be the first time it's been a while. Uh,
the second oldest ballpark behind Fenway. It opened in nineteen fourteen,
and we have not had a Midsummer Classic at the
Friendly Confines in thirty five. It'll be thirty seven years
since nineteen ninety. Yeah, last time.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
There is a commemorative Eddie Vedder song out about it.
It says all stucking gold regular for you.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Come, you swing the bat and the ball goes away.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Earlier in the week, Matt there was a report about
a heated confrontation or conversation between Rob Manfred and Philly
Starr the Irreverend Bryce Harper when the Commissioner was visiting
the Phillies clubhouse. Reportedly, Harper told him not to bring
up a salary cap and get the f out of
their clubhouse. Today. Manfred was asked about said heated conversation.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
You know, I don't talk about those player meetings. Let
me say this. I think more has been made out
of this and needs to be made out of it.
You know, Bryce expresses views. At the end of the meeting,
we shook hands and went our separate ways to stem
that all that significe.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
You shook hands after he told you to get the
f out.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
You know, Bryce express his views at the end of
the meeting. We shook hands and went our separate ways
to steum that all that significant.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, this is.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
The the idea behind it, beyond it being Bryce Harper
telling the Commissioner of Baseball to get the f out,
is that we are two years out from the expiration
of the collective bargaining agreement and reportedly Manford already making
the rounds because he knows how contentious it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You remember, wait for the lockout, Matt. We're going to
do seven hour.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Shows lockouts common man to do seven hours a day.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You thought COVID was hard. I'll give it rich guys
by no more money.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's not us. It's not us that needs to be worried.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh why you know, Well, that's why we're gonna have
to do seven hours, Matt. Those guys are just gonna
they'll be taking no quit like we're fick. Sandy's not
doing it. Can't do it, Sally, Sorry?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Can I do three hours of radio a day, every
single day for four months straight?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Not do it, gonna do it.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
But that's the uh, that's the report that the owners
are hell bent on a salary cap, that the players
are hell bent on no salary cap, and Manfred is
trying to plant the seeds of the possibility of a
salary cap and.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Get the fuse. Speaking of chaos, Matt Trey Lance look
like a future Hall of Famer. Here's a highlight.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Three tight end set on the right side, and here's
Lance throwing to the end zone cautiously touchdown.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Chargers first to the five campaign.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Don't you dis Will Disney.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
No Disley doing his his backup quarterback of favor, put
five snaps in there even though he was one of
the starters, and caught that touchdown. It was a fun
game for Trey Lance, who's trying to re establish himself
as a starting quarterback in this league, and he got
the full Harbaugh treatment, got to play three full quarters
and played pretty darn well.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
We have tickets to give away for the Charger game
next week at our summer tour stop in Huntington Beach
next Friday, so we'll see you there. Rams kick off
their preseason next Saturday at home versus the Dallas Cowboys
and there's some Michael Parsons news.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Oh it was a lengthy, a lengthy post on the
internet that Parsons and I was talking to someone on
the field yesterday and this was before this particular information broke.
He basically said, I don't I can't figure out why
this guy is. They're not going to give him his money.
(19:01):
As long as he's there, He's just got to cut out.
And that's how Jerry Jones works, and that's basically what happened.
He released a statement today saying I wanted to be
a Cowboy forever. I wanted to wear the star on
my helmet. I want to play in front of the
best fans in sports and make it America's team once again.
My father was a Cowboy fan, and on and on.
I love my teammates and I mean it is a
(19:24):
it's like a thousand words statement and basically said, screw
you guys, I'm going home. And that's where this is.
Nobody quite understands why the Cowboys do business this way
because they made Dak Prescott a sixty million dollar man.
They made Ceedee Lamb. He's football. Dak Prescott is the best.
(19:45):
And you saw Ceedee Lamb in Oklahoma. He can't be questioned, right.
So for whatever reason, the Cowboys like just stringing this
thing out. It cost them tens at least like ten
or fifteen million dollars more. But I would assume this
was what Micah felt like he had to do in
order to get the deal to get done.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Well, they've just got a lot of great feelings there. Hey,
you take it up to DC. From Crazy Rudy to
Chief Z of the Washington Commanders, receiver Terry McLaurin, frustrated
incorporated with negotiations on a contract extension that he has
requested a trade. The seventh year wide receiver has had
(20:26):
five straight thousand yard seasons like Art Munk up there,
and he's had thirteen touchdowns for the Commanders. Are they
going to trade him?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I mean that's again, this is like the opposite you got,
or should say, like the opposite of the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Justin Herbert's in year six, he makes Lad McConkey a
pro bowler who's a rookie. You got Jayden Daniels, who's
the rookie of the year. One of the best rookie
seasons we've seen from a quarterback. Really since Herbert and
you're going to take away a second year quarterback's really
only target from the entire season last year, I mean,
the next leading receivers had seven hundred yards less than McLaurin,
(21:03):
So he kind of knows that he's got the power.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I've got the pocation.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
But a receiver north of thirty asking for thirty three
million bucks a year is not an easy negotiation. So
again it's the put the pressure on. I want to
be traded. Screw you guys. I'm going home, and you
would assume a deal will get done in the next
I don't know, two days, three days.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I've got the power front to back in this thing
called rap USC kicks off their season on Saturday and
it will be heavenly level August thirtieth against Missouri State.
Let's play Missouri State, not not a showdown. And UCLA
starts the twenty twenty five season at home on Saturday,
August thirtieth versus the utah Utes. And they are in Costa, Mesa,
(21:49):
kicking off their training camp right now. UCLA in Orange County,
mostly USC territory down there. UCLA should have like a
order ranch camp if they really want the fans to
show up. But right, either way, good luck to all
the young people playing the Foods ball and we'll be
(22:10):
back on on Monday. Is that a full show? Three
to six?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Three to six, Yeah, a little little Dodger action back
here against the Cardinals. I believe it's the copy of that,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, So start.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Favorite team, Matt.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You know, classys fans know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
There should be a bird poop on that bat, Matt,
because they so well, no.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Just bird's poopolo Oh there's that too.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, but yeah they're not.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
They're not having just a statement of fact. You know,
the bird's poops. There's probably poop on that back.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
That's all I'm saying, not making any judgments. Coming up
next to Tim Kates with Morocco Casino Dodgers on Den
there will be a pregame show and Dave we'll have
a guest. I'm like Yesterdy.
Speaker 1 (23:01):

Well, I know where they learn to drive a truck.
Here in Southern California. They learned from dutes and driving schools. Dudes,

I'm Debbie Duots. Huh. Time for quickts. Everybody look to

Nine game road trip for the Dodgers continues. We will
get to Tampa in the very next segment. Joining us
right now from.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Tampa with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vassie Report with David Vasse, brought to.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You by Service Titan dot Com. It is David vass
in the midst of the road trip lunch with Tommy
Edmond and Freddie Freeman yesterday. He's really living his life.
We were right on top of the trade. The headline
he said May was going to get traded, and he did.
And today and today Kershaw goes but tomorrow's big blakes now.
(05:08):
So a lot going on for David Vasse on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Hello, Dave, how are you.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I'm doing great. I'm out here at George Steinbrenner Field.
Blake Snell is playing catch and preparation for his big
return tomorrow. And tonight we got Clayton Kershaw on the mountain.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
What's it like out there, Dave? We haven't seen that stadium,
at least I haven't watched any games from that stadium.
Don't know what it looks like. What's it going to
be like tonight? What are the players say? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, I could just tell you. The press box has
twenty five seats. I don't have one. The radio booth
is extremely small. It may have been better for me
to do Dodger talk for my hotel room, considering the
constraints in this ballpark. My understanding is though the clubhouse
is first class, a lot of room in there. The
(06:04):
dugouts spacious enough, But certainly it feels like we're back
in spring training and it's August first, Dave.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
The Chargers did it for five years out here before
moving to Sofar, and it was one of those things
that you said, Hey, every fan of NFL football ought
to get out here and see this. Just how unique
of an experience. Because spring training is different. I guess
you do have an opportunity, but you know Otani might
get one at bat here or something like that. But
what is that venue?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Like?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
How unique is that venue to see Clayton Kershaw take
them ound, Otani and Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman play
a whole game of baseball? Is it that intimate? How
different is it?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah? For a regular season game, a game that matters.
This is as close as you'll ever get to those guys. Look,
it's a standard spring training stadium. They have some patio
seating in the right field as a lookout right now,
But it's everything that you guys have experienced in Arizona.
It's a spring training facility. It's George Steinbrenner Field. This
(07:11):
is where the Yankees have their spring trainings. And I
guess you could take it in that some of the
greats like Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, those Yankees burst onto
the scene here at this field. The Rays have dressed
it up as best as possible to make it feel
like it's theirs as well, But there's no getting around it.
(07:32):
This is not conventional.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
What was the vibe or the mood? Like, we know
you had lunch with some of those guys yesterday being
the trade deadline, and now that the dust has settled,
are there any more conclusions to draw from how things
went on the trade deadline yesterday? Certainly a lot of action,
Like you said, the most action we can remember since
we've covered MLB the way we have, just not necessarily
(07:58):
with the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yeah, for sure. Petros and I took the bus ride
into Steinbrenner Field with Dave Roberts and he was really
excited about brock Stewart and Alex Call. He loves the
way Alex Call approaches at bats. He's a really good
defensive outfielder. He kills lefty's, So it's what they were
looking for, a right handed bat. Brock Stewart's been outstanding
(08:24):
against right handed hitters as a pitcher. But you know,
if you just look at what the Dodgers did this offseason,
that's where they did all their heavy lifting, and they
just needed to fill in a couple of holes with
some of the injuries. They just need Taoscar Hernandez and
Mookie Betts to be ta Oscar Hernandez and Mookie Bets.
(08:44):
They need Tommy Edmund to be Tommy Edmund because even
if they got Mason Miller or closer X, if those
guys don't hit and don't perform, the Dodgers are not
going to win.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
It's that simple, Dave, What about the division? I mean
we have seen aj Preller does not give a damn
about prospects.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What kind of.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Message do you think it sends, if any, if they
care to the Dodgers. I mean, you know a lot
of these names that Dodger fans probably don't, but I
mean they sent out one of the top prospects in
baseball to get that Mason Miller deal done. They add
three new starters, a left field, they're a DH and
a catcher. They get their rotation depth sorted. Like, what
(09:29):
did you make of what Preller decided to do and
what the Padres might see ahead of them? And it
seemingly looks like pushing all their chips to the center
of the table and going for it this year.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Yeah, I mean he did more yesterday than he did
all off season. The Padres added Gavin Sheets and Jason
Hayward this offseason, so he had a lot of work
to do. And yeah, it kind of feels like, you
know what we don't have the financial wherewithal like we
had before, but we do have these prospects and that's
(10:02):
the only capital that I have. And he went all
in to get a guy to build a really good
bullpen to go along with the other guys they have already,
you know, under the radar. I mean, this is a
trolling move by me, but I'm really excited that the
Padres traded for Nestor Cortez. Ready, Freeman should be really
happy about that.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Oh, David Vasse is our guest taking shots all over
the place that the players can't believe the things that
come out of his mouth. Speaking of your relationships, what
do you expect from SNeW tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Look, it's put up for shut up time at this point, Petros,
He's missed the majority of the season. It's now time
for him to show and reward the Dodgers in the
faith they showed him by giving him a long term
contract that is more than he has ever signed for
in his entire career. And I guess being back here
(11:00):
in Florida, you hope that he feels comfortable. It's a
good setting for him. So it's now or never for
guys like him in Glass Now the Dodgers went all
in with their starting pitching with these guys. That's how
they built out their off season. Now it's time for
them to deliver because those are the guys they decided
(11:20):
to acquire and really devote a lot of their resources to.
So it's I would expect Blakes now from here on
out to be the Blakes now that we saw the
second half of each of his last three seasons.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Last one, Dave, I know you probably addressed it yesterday
and there's been considerable conversations surrounding it. But we're good
with the cramps. We're all good now. Florida awfully humid
this time of year. You know, it's only going to
get hotter. Like, where are we at with the cramp situation?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yeah, that was Otani's right hip. He says he'll pitch
on Wednesday, which is also a day game at Roger
Stadium against the Cardinals. But he said it was it
lost up on him in the first inning and it
really started to bother him after the third inning, and
that's when you know, the Dodgers saw Dave Roberts actually
saw something to pitched before he took him out. So, yeah, Otani,
(12:17):
after we spoke to him that night, felt like he
would be good to go. We'll monitor whether or not
he does his normal routine, but it's got a lot
of time to be able to work it out, all.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Right, Dave, Well, we sure appreciate you joining us. We
know it's a long trip. You're almost done and you
have to get through the cramped confines of George Steinbrenner's
Field or whatever before you get home. Have fun and
we'll enjoy the game and have fun with Snell. We
hope that he has success for all of our sakes.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
David Vasi, I agree, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
He's there, he goes. Uh So, back to quick Hits, Matt.
The Angels they're at home versus the White Sox tonight.
They're making a push for the playoffs. They're a lot
like the race four games back in the Al wild
Card race, and.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Can only hope the the Angels in the outfield make
their return.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Quite the ut an Angel with you right now, just
got here and he's gonna help.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Quite the site at Angel Stadium. Although these Angels weren't
a friendly chanting already sucks sell the team, but quite
the atmosphere out there.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, they're there to help in a different way.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yes, fine.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Putting pressure on ownership to get the hell out of town.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, yes too.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I kind of feel like the Angel fans are onto
something here. They can get that whole right field pavilion
to be like the Angels in the outfield section every
single games, more like Yankee Stadium other places around baseball.
It could be a real home field advantage for them.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You'd be sweet if they get that black kid and
Joseph Gordon Levitt to show up up. It'd be like
in the crowd, you know, like Stacey is in the
crowd at those hockey games.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
What what's the f C? The LA f C. They
got their three two, nine to five, four to six.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Eight seven sixers, yeah, seven six, eight hundreds.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, you get that going, you know, you get you know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
What is you don't know what you're knowing.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It is the Riot squad for the Gallas.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
The Riot squad.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
We were tight with them, you know. I mean that's
what we're talking about. It had going.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
With Panton and then I have Dona. The All Star
Game is gonna be in the Friendly Confines, Matt. That's
that's exciting. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Announced the twenty twenty seven MLB All Star Game going
to be played at historic Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It was made today.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Gonna be the first time it's been a while. Uh,
the second oldest ballpark behind Fenway. It opened in nineteen fourteen,
and we have not had a Midsummer Classic at the
Friendly Confines in thirty five. It'll be thirty seven years
since nineteen ninety. Yeah, last time.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
There is a commemorative Eddie Vedder song out about it.
It says all stucking gold regular for you.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Come, you swing the bat and the ball goes away.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Earlier in the week, Matt there was a report about
a heated confrontation or conversation between Rob Manfred and Philly
Starr the Irreverend Bryce Harper when the Commissioner was visiting
the Phillies clubhouse. Reportedly, Harper told him not to bring
up a salary cap and get the f out of
their clubhouse. Today. Manfred was asked about said heated conversation.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
You know, I don't talk about those player meetings. Let
me say this. I think more has been made out
of this and needs to be made out of it.
You know, Bryce expresses views. At the end of the meeting,
we shook hands and went our separate ways to stem
that all that significe.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
You shook hands after he told you to get the
f out.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
You know, Bryce express his views at the end of
the meeting. We shook hands and went our separate ways
to steum that all that significant.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, this is.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
The the idea behind it, beyond it being Bryce Harper
telling the Commissioner of Baseball to get the f out,
is that we are two years out from the expiration
of the collective bargaining agreement and reportedly Manford already making
the rounds because he knows how contentious it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You remember, wait for the lockout, Matt. We're going to
do seven hour.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Shows lockouts common man to do seven hours a day.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You thought COVID was hard. I'll give it rich guys
by no more money.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's not us. It's not us that needs to be worried.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh why you know, Well, that's why we're gonna have
to do seven hours, Matt. Those guys are just gonna
they'll be taking no quit like we're fick. Sandy's not
doing it. Can't do it, Sally, Sorry?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Can I do three hours of radio a day, every
single day for four months straight?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Not do it, gonna do it.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
But that's the uh, that's the report that the owners
are hell bent on a salary cap, that the players
are hell bent on no salary cap, and Manfred is
trying to plant the seeds of the possibility of a
salary cap and.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Get the fuse. Speaking of chaos, Matt Trey Lance look
like a future Hall of Famer. Here's a highlight.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Three tight end set on the right side, and here's
Lance throwing to the end zone cautiously touchdown.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Chargers first to the five campaign.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Don't you dis Will Disney.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
No Disley doing his his backup quarterback of favor, put
five snaps in there even though he was one of
the starters, and caught that touchdown. It was a fun
game for Trey Lance, who's trying to re establish himself
as a starting quarterback in this league, and he got
the full Harbaugh treatment, got to play three full quarters
and played pretty darn well.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
We have tickets to give away for the Charger game
next week at our summer tour stop in Huntington Beach
next Friday, so we'll see you there. Rams kick off
their preseason next Saturday at home versus the Dallas Cowboys
and there's some Michael Parsons news.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Oh it was a lengthy, a lengthy post on the
internet that Parsons and I was talking to someone on
the field yesterday and this was before this particular information broke.
He basically said, I don't I can't figure out why
this guy is. They're not going to give him his money.
(19:01):
As long as he's there, He's just got to cut out.
And that's how Jerry Jones works, and that's basically what happened.
He released a statement today saying I wanted to be
a Cowboy forever. I wanted to wear the star on
my helmet. I want to play in front of the
best fans in sports and make it America's team once again.
My father was a Cowboy fan, and on and on.
I love my teammates and I mean it is a
(19:24):
it's like a thousand words statement and basically said, screw
you guys, I'm going home. And that's where this is.
Nobody quite understands why the Cowboys do business this way
because they made Dak Prescott a sixty million dollar man.
They made Ceedee Lamb. He's football. Dak Prescott is the best.
(19:45):
And you saw Ceedee Lamb in Oklahoma. He can't be questioned, right.
So for whatever reason, the Cowboys like just stringing this
thing out. It cost them tens at least like ten
or fifteen million dollars more. But I would assume this
was what Micah felt like he had to do in
order to get the deal to get done.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Well, they've just got a lot of great feelings there. Hey,
you take it up to DC. From Crazy Rudy to
Chief Z of the Washington Commanders, receiver Terry McLaurin, frustrated
incorporated with negotiations on a contract extension that he has
requested a trade. The seventh year wide receiver has had
(20:26):
five straight thousand yard seasons like Art Munk up there,
and he's had thirteen touchdowns for the Commanders. Are they
going to trade him?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I mean that's again, this is like the opposite you got,
or should say, like the opposite of the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Justin Herbert's in year six, he makes Lad McConkey a
pro bowler who's a rookie. You got Jayden Daniels, who's
the rookie of the year. One of the best rookie
seasons we've seen from a quarterback. Really since Herbert and
you're going to take away a second year quarterback's really
only target from the entire season last year, I mean,
the next leading receivers had seven hundred yards less than McLaurin,
(21:03):
So he kind of knows that he's got the power.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I've got the pocation.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
But a receiver north of thirty asking for thirty three
million bucks a year is not an easy negotiation. So
again it's the put the pressure on. I want to
be traded. Screw you guys. I'm going home, and you
would assume a deal will get done in the next
I don't know, two days, three days.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I've got the power front to back in this thing
called rap USC kicks off their season on Saturday and
it will be heavenly level August thirtieth against Missouri State.
Let's play Missouri State, not not a showdown. And UCLA
starts the twenty twenty five season at home on Saturday,
August thirtieth versus the utah Utes. And they are in Costa, Mesa,
(21:49):
kicking off their training camp right now. UCLA in Orange County,
mostly USC territory down there. UCLA should have like a
order ranch camp if they really want the fans to
show up. But right, either way, good luck to all
the young people playing the Foods ball and we'll be
(22:10):
back on on Monday. Is that a full show? Three
to six?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Three to six, Yeah, a little little Dodger action back
here against the Cardinals. I believe it's the copy of that,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, So start.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Favorite team, Matt.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You know, classys fans know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
There should be a bird poop on that bat, Matt,
because they so well, no.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Just bird's poopolo Oh there's that too.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, but yeah they're not.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
They're not having just a statement of fact. You know,
the bird's poops. There's probably poop on that back.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
That's all I'm saying, not making any judgments. Coming up
next to Tim Kates with Morocco Casino Dodgers on Den
there will be a pregame show and Dave we'll have
a guest. I'm like Yesterdy.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
