Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Final Hour as
we got to six o'clock and Dodgers on Deck, then
first Pitch seven to fifteen PM from the Gaping Motors
Broadcast booth as the Dodgers looking to make some room there.
Two and a half games up right now on the Padres,
(01:17):
who are taken on the Rocky, so certainly much tougher
task at hand for the Dodgers against the Giants. They'll
be doing it courtesy of our friends at wild Fork
find your wild Fork from Valencia to Encinitison in between
Wildforkfoods dot Com. And it's not just baseball. We're gonna
have baseball weekend obviously, but we got some football tomorrow
as well.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, wake up early with Tim Kates Wisconsin at Alabama.
You just heard the college football whip around in the
last hour. That's eight thirty AM. And then Georgia at
Tennessee at twelve thirty. Tim Kates is not on that one.
And don't forget we'll have Dodger baseball again all weekend long,
of course, and again on Monday night. Matt will have
(02:01):
Chargers Raiders on AM six forty KFI and Tim will
have Raiders Doegores Compass Media Radio Network. So a lot
of football and a lot of content headed your way,
and we'll be back out on the road on Wednesday.
For the people of the desert, it's coming back around again.
This is for the people of the sun. I mean
(02:22):
they come on, I mean desert suns on of it.
We'll be at Morongo thanks a lot, Matt.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
We'll be at Marongo Casino Resort and Spa. That'll be
a three to six show. Tim Kate's going to do
Dodgers on deck from out there six to seven pm.
We'll have baseball tickets to give away. We'll have football
professional football tickets to give away. We no longer have
an amateur football partner, which is why we have a
sensational Saturday doubleheader Wisconsin Alabama, Georgia.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Ala around town. Have one night stands with Luke Fickel
and Kaylin de boor do whatever we want.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I mean, that's why we had Texas Ohio State, our
new free our divorce. I mean, you want to talk
about getting our body and fresh off the divorce and
really slinging it around town. We got arch Manning versus
Ohio State already on the ledge, already in the books
and now on the ledger for Saturday, Wisconsin Alabama followed
by Georgia Tennessee. It is liberating, let's say, to find
(03:19):
our new found freedom to date around in the college
football pool. But professional football tickets will be given away,
is what we were getting that out there at Moroco
Casina resorting spot on Wednesday for our three to six show,
along with professional baseball tickets in town. So come see us.
We always enjoy the bartender they assigned to us and
(03:40):
our drunk listeners, the wallburgers in our immediate vicinity, the
slot machines that we warm up for others to cash
in on the jackpots because we can only do it
for three to four minutes during our commercial breaks, and
all the other things that happen around the Petros and
Money show. When we bring great sports talk out to
the desert.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Who brought to you by Concordia University Masters in Coaching
in Irvine program, It's time for the final hour fut
fame in effect, it's the yeah We're three facts fun fact.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah. The Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration program has
many facts. One of them. Over five thousand coaches and
administrators have graduated from their master's program. So get all
the details at CUI dot edu slash coaching. I know
you appreciate the historic establishment scattered around San Francisco. P Now,
(04:35):
we may not have the Presidio mat Come on, we
may not have Irish coffee here in California, or it
not for Jack Kepler, owner of the Buena Vista Cafe
in San Francisco, the historic Buena Vista Cafe corner of
Hyde and Beach. So enamored was Kepler by the Irish
(04:55):
coffee served at the Shannon Airport in Ireland while he
was vacationing over there, that he spent years trying to
figure it out. It was a secret recipe. They would
not give it to him, and he realized after about
a year and a half that what was missing was
his aging. The fresh cream he sourced for forty eight
(05:17):
hours it would then froth to that very specific consistency,
allowing it to float on top of his coffee whiskey combination.
It quickly became as famous as any drink in San Francisco,
then in the state of California, and then it took
over the entire country in the early nineteen fifties. And
(05:39):
today you can still make your way to the Buena
Vista Cafe on the corner of Hide and Beach, and
you will see lines of those iconic glass mugs holding
those Irish coffees. With that glorious floating cream top.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
They still have some things out there.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Some things, although I've heard it's gotten quite a bit better.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Is leftial duels still out there? I hope.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So It's been probably two decades since I've been to
left doing.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
No more corn beef on the buffet line, all right,
it's time for quick hits. Everybody looks quick hits.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Some nigga quick, y'all?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Ye. Dodgers are eighty two and sixty four, riding a
four game winning streak, but they start a three game
weekend series tonight in San Francisco. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Verlander
the pitching matchup. Matt will have a pitching dissertation in
the next segment for the top story of the day.
They are two and a half games up in the
(06:37):
NL West with sixteen left to play. The Angels, on
the other hand, and I'm here with the concierges of
the sports Lodge. Trent Rush are sixty nine and seventy
eight in Seattle taking on the Mariners. Why are we
talking about the Angels at this late stage? I don't know,
why are we?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What? What the hell do they got going on?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's not because of the concierges, Mike Trout is one
home run of four hundred in his career. Trout is
on track to play at least one hundred and twenty
games for the first time since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm not asking this to be I'm not suggesting this
to be snarky. Does anybody care? Like there was a
moment where I might care? Well, I shouldn't say anyone.
Does anyone outside?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Does anyone care of U?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Does anyone outside affiliation with the team, Because there was
a moment when Mike Trout was the most interesting, the
most compelling player in baseball, and everybody that enjoyed the
sport of baseball cared and wanted to watch his every move,
the way he played the outfield, obviously every at bat.
And now someone who was fast tracked to the Hall
of Fame the first five years of his career, you'd
(07:45):
have to ask, uh, is is he still a Hall
of Famer? Like is Mike? Does anyone care about Mike
Trout's four hundredth home run? With Otani and Aaron Judge
having taken over the Superstarto mantle of baseball.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, I'm sure they'll cover it on the MLB Network.
Imagine if he was healthy in the last five seasons,
he'd be at five hundred home runs by the age
of thirty four.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, but he hasn't been. That's the problem. That's why
he's bought a shy at four hundred. Yeah, his body
is completely broken down. And many have you know this
sudden ideas why that may be the case. And again,
Angels have not won a single playoff game and his
entire time as supposedly the best player in baseball for
a number of those years with him on their roster,
(08:29):
not one, not a playoff series, a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Fair enough, may the Chargers are want to know to
take on the Raiders who are also want to know
on Monday night.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's right under match showed up between these two teams.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Matt's been talking about it. Chargers are three and a
half point road favorite. Here's Pete Carroll with the media
about his relationship with Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
What's your fondest memory of this rivalry with Jim Harbaugh?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I remember, Jim. No, I have no fun membories.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm not. It's great games.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It's been great games, that's all he said. But uh,
a bunch of.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Guys in different life could have been great teammates. When
he says something like that, what is.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That, Well, I think that would come from the you know,
he's seen my game, and so he would like me
to help him win, you know if I could, And
so he'd like us to play together, I guess. But
one thing we would certainly see I'd eye on is
about compete. He's always been a great competitor, and he
battled through so much when in his playing days and
and his coaching days as well. So I appreciate him
(09:28):
saying that because I'd like to play with him too.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
He said, he said that you're not on each other's
Christmas He's not on your Christmas card list. Do you
expect a birthday card from him? Then?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Well, I'm surprised you would say that, because he sends
me a birthday every card every week every year. So
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
They hate each other, they do, and and Harball I
thought did a little bit of a better job way back.
He was just his teeth were clinched when he said
I have no fond memories and and Kate's I believe
I was watching the press or there was what would
you say, maybe eight to ten seconds of silence where
people are waiting for him to like say, I'm just
(10:02):
joking after he said I have no fun memories before
the next question came in, uh, which is what we want.
It's much better to have people admit, yeah, I don't
like this guy. This guy doesn't like me. I don't
like him. Let's play a football game and stare at
each other from our respective sidelines and make it super uncomfortable,
because that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Pete carroll Smarness crossed the field f you, Mike at
Mike Pollatti USC versus Organ.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, how great is that? Nobody knows Vegas Boxing
like us.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
P is really into this fight. People really into this file.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's a big no. This's a big one.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It is.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
If you're on social media and you follow a lot
of sports, certainly your algorithm has shown you a ton
of Canelo Alvarez Terrence Crawford. It is the undisputed super
middleweight championship of the world that they're going to tussle over.
Sixty five thousand people are expected at Allegiant Stadium or
the Raiders play for the fight. Terrence Crawford forty one
(11:04):
and zero in his career. He's making ten million bucks.
Canelo sixty three to two and two one of the
biggest draws, if not the biggest draw in boxing, and
he is going to make over a hundred million dollars
for this fight.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
We'll return with more great sports talk, Matt. We're gonna
talk Dodger pitching, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Indeed we are. Big series starts tonight at seven fifteen.
We'll give you the preview you need.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Next, We've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer. Make AM five seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on
the iHeartRadio app, using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road
(11:47):
Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Patrols and money. Happy to be with you on AM
five seventy LA Sports your home of the Dodgers. Dodgers
in San Francisco Tonight first Pitch seven team which bothers
Matt from.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well I do on mind seven fifteen, okay seven twelve
seven O eight six thirty seven. You know, and plus
at least they recognize like Los Angeles. Hey give some
people some time to get here, would you you know,
let's at least go post seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well, you're lucky it's a Friday night, Matt, you know,
because they like to go six forty and that would
push us back to this. This has been schedule talk
on the Petrosid Money Show, Dodger Fans Sort Short Score
Big with flooring from Hernandez Wholesale Flooring Shop Hernandez Wholesale
Flooring dot Net, No sale beats Wholesale and now it's
(12:41):
time for the top story of the day, Top story
of it.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, Textoso came through last night yesterday afternoon, I should say,
during the show was an early one two to five
flex alert that suggested the just the negativity that I
have been thrown around these days. And while it didn't
affect me emotionally, it was a statement that stuck with
me and I did some introspection.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That's you're a negative man, that you're a locking minus sign.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Just you know, as you're navigating the civic failure that
is the five for two hours from Burbank to Seal Beach,
you do have some time to sit with your thoughts.
And while I was at times enjoying a tale of
a sunken labyrinth, labyrinth in the sub Saharan Egyptian desert.
(13:29):
I was like, okay, am I throwing too much negativity
at the Dodgers, a team that won the World Series
last year. And I've always held the position, if you
win a title, you get five years, you get a
half decade reprieve. If you win it all free pass
champions generations get to celebrate together. Oh, this is the
first one for my grandson and I to celebrate. The
(13:52):
Dodgers had not won a regular full season title that
we could enjoy as fans in person with the parade
home field Chavezravine's since nineteen eighty eight, twenty six years.
Maybe they deserve a break. So well, yeah, I think
so well, how I thinks to great sports talk? Then well,
and I think that's the flip side of the coin, right,
that's the other side of the coin, not going to
be great if the Dodgers aren't doing great and we
(14:14):
come on and say, hey, five year past man. So
I think as the anger, perhaps as the disappointment, as
the frustration comes through via the car speakers and the
am band, your air pods or you're super cool. The
hipsters are all wearing the wired headphones again because of
(14:35):
some sort of cancer thing. They're worried about Gamma rays
and Gabbas and all that sort of stuff. However, you're consuming.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yo Gabba Gabba.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Exactly, it's not it's not the players. Even though it
may come out that way, it is not necessarily as
as everyone that joins us says, well, it's not like
Tanner Scott is trying to pitch like crap. No, it's
it's not that, it's the it's the decision making. It's
(15:06):
the way that this is being managed that that defies
logic and suggests that there's just a little too much
cya more than hey, let's let's do what looks right,
let's do what makes sense. What's staring us right in
the face.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
In the face.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So, when you're trying to cover your ass for a
seventy two million dollar four year deal, I understand you
want to explore every avenue possible to determine if Tanner
Scott can pitch in the post season in an eigh
leverage situation. Same with a one year, thirteen million dollar
deal for Kirby Yates, Blake Trying and Michael Kopek, two
guys that were heroes through last year's World series run.
(15:47):
And again, if last year at this time you told
anyone that the Dodger bullpen was going to be Kirby Yates, Tanner,
Scott Blake, Trying, and Michael Kopek, they'd say, just engrave
the Commissioner's trophy right now. The team better have a
lead after five innings, so they're completely screwed. But bullpens
are weird, and there's a reason why these guys aren't
(16:07):
starters and making three hundred million dollars instead of thirteen
million dollars. Because unless you're a top shelf closer and
you've been in that role for over say half a decade.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Top shelf Callie Weed, just arrive.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
There's no reason to ever trust a bullpen arm. It's
going to be consistent from year to year.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And so unless it's Mariano Rivera, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
That's what I mean, because he was great for five,
well ten, fifteen years, like those guys, Hey, it's been
five years for filling the Kenley Jansen right with the
Dodgers five you had a decade long run and then
it gets old and it starts sliding a little bit,
and it's like, okay, yeah, well he's thirty four so yes,
it's gonna start falling off. But yeah, when when Tanner
(16:53):
Scott has a good year and a half and you
decide to throw four years at him, it's like this, okay,
this makes it yes right now, But we do recognize
that this could bite us in the s. There is
that possibility, and so the idea that they got sixteen
games left and that they're somehow going to give you
(17:14):
something that we haven't seen the previous five months, it's
kind of spinning our wheels. I mean, you've got a
two and a half game lead in the division. The
difference in winning the National League West and losing it
to the Padres or if things go horribly wrong over
seven against San Francisco to the Giants is either being
(17:35):
at Dodger Stadium for three straight if you need that
third game in a wildcard series, or maybe if you
do what we hope they can do against the Phillies
and sweep them, who are four and a half up
on the Dodgers, even though they're riding their own four
game win streak, they have not been able to make
up any ground here. Maybe you catch them and you're
able to get a buye into the Divisional round. But
(17:57):
if this doesn't go right, you got to try. You're
likely on a road series in Chicago. Is there a
game up on the Dodgers right now? And after the
start of the season really kind of had their way
with the boys in Blue on the back end of
their meetings. These are not times to check things out,
to work out some kinks.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Not that time.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Uh No, it's too late. The Giants are a game
back in the lost column of the Mets for the
final wild card spot. I mean, they take four to
seven from the Dodgers. They go five and two in
this series, and you want to take that on in
the first in the first round, in the wild card round,
in a best of three series, after losing five to
seven or four of seven, you do not want to
(18:41):
welcome that possibility into the mix because it's your bullpen.
That's the only likely path of that happening. I mean,
they are the only team this bullpen. The Dodgers bullpen
is the only bullpen with a worse bullpen era in
the National League playoff picture. The only one that's worth
is the versus the Phillies. Every other playoff team has
(19:04):
a much better bullpen than the Dodgers. They are tied
with the Phillies for the third most blown saves in
the NL period. Only the Mets and the Diamondbacks are worse.
And that's why the Giants are back in this thing
and the Mets haven't run away with it. The Dodgers
have twenty three blown saves. Meanwhile, the Padres have the
fewest in the National League fifteen, the Cubs the second
(19:26):
fewest seventeen two potential wildcard or divisional opponents. Tanner Scott's
nine blown saves are the most in baseball, so that's
the frustration. He's allowed ten home runs. Kirby Yates has
allowed eight home runs. We did the story like I
don't know two three weeks ago, I think where we
were talking about home runs in the postseason and how
(19:50):
it is the greatest predictor of wins versus losses. Which
team hits more home runs in the series ninety percent
of the time is the team that wins the series.
Clayton Kershaw has pitched double the innings of Tanner. Scott
has a fastball that's clocking in around eighty six to
eighty eight miles an hour, and he has allowed just
seven home runs to Tanner Scott's ten in double the
(20:13):
innings at thirty seven years old with an eighty eight
mile an hour fastball, Like, what are you going to
see in the last sixteen games? You're gonna run him
out there ten times cause he's not gonna do great
in all ten. There's just there's no chance. There is
nothing that we've seen this season that would say he's
gonna go ten for ten. So if he does great
and seven and he blows three games, are you still
(20:34):
gonna put him out there in a playoff game? I
just don't see it. Like, the only reason to continue
to do this is to try to make that four year,
seventy two million dollar deal shine a little bit here
late in the year. But just write it off, man, Like,
write it off. See if you can get him right
in Arizona in February, and say what we're saying here,
(20:56):
bullpens are weird, man, bullpen arms are weird. Full faith
that over the final three years of this deal, Tanner's
gonna get it right. He'll figure it out. We're gonna
work through it all off season. For whatever reason, twenty
twenty five sucked and we're gonna see if we can
get twenty twenty six to look like twenty twenty four.
Now I know he went out there Wednesday and did
one scoreless. In terms of Kirby Yates, here's your other
(21:20):
one thirteen million dollar deal. So Kirby goes out there Wednesday,
does one scoreless. But in his last five he's got
two clean innings, two clean innings including Wednesdays, and then
he's got well, if I tell you, the other three
innings in his last five are five hits, two home
runs and five runs. How does that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So like, not like I'm on poipoop or shipwrecked beach
and Kawhii and the Yates family having a great time.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, So like, what what are you looking for? What
do you want? With the way the starters are working
right now? You don't need these guys, Like that's the difference.
Last year they had no star garding pitching. They had
to have five or six guys in the bullpen. Vessi, Bond, Copek, Phillips, Jacler,
(22:08):
Leuhler Walk. Yeah, they needed all of that last year.
This year right now, look at each of the not four,
not three, six guys in the rotation the last time
they went out and this is not. This is not outlier.
This is what it's looked like for these guys all season.
Last time out, Otani three and two thirds, three hits,
(22:28):
zero runs, five k's. That was an emergency start on
five and not six days. Yama eight and two thirds,
one hit, had a no hitter until two outs of
the ninth and he one run, ten strikeouts, Kershaw five
and two thirds, four hits, two runs, eight strikeouts, Glass
Now seven innings, zero hits, one run, eleven strikeouts, she
and seven innings, three hits, one run, nine strikeouts, and
(22:50):
Blake Snell six innings, two hits, zero runs, eleven case.
The starters are great. They're nails. They are pitching their
best baseball right now. As we enter the playoff season.
As a team, the Dodgers are six in the NL,
and that include for starter era sixth in the NL
for starter er, but that includes the one hundred four
(23:14):
innings and four eight five ERA of Dustin May, the
thirty six innings and five r of Tony gonzl In
the thirty four innings, and four to seven to two
ERA of Roki Sasaki. Guys that aren't starting anymore, two
that aren't even on the team. Anymore. You ditch those
and you're the top. You're number two in starter era.
So when you don't need to work the postseason like
(23:36):
you worked at last year, why not over these final
six teams, final sixteen games, get reps to the guys
that we want out there. Just put Jack Dryer on
the mound every single ninth inning. He is your closer.
Run that out there, see how it works until he's
not just considering our ross.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Jack Dryer up the flag ball and see who salutes it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Exactly right. I want to run Alex Vessia in the
eighth inning every single eighth inning. Get out there, Vesia,
you're the eighth inning guy, and then you can rotate
the seventh and the sixth between Bonda and Enriquez and
operate on that level. And if it doesn't work, then
you get Tanner Scott in there, Kirby Yates trying, But
(24:22):
why not ride the hot hands when your starters are
pitching this well, if you're up big and you want
to get some reps to Tanner Scott and you want
to get some reps to Kirby Yates and see if
they can locate better than they have and not serve
up Doggers like they have every single time they go out.
Same with Blake Trining. Can you get Michael Kopek to
find some control when you're up big great, and if
(24:44):
you have a big lead the next day, do it again.
But I'd want to see three or four of those
low leverage, successful bullpen outings before I am even thinking
about a game in the balance, when you're just two
and a half up on the Padres, who are in
the midst of a series with the Rockies before starting
one with the White Sox and then another one with
(25:05):
the Rockies, and the ability for this thing to spin
out of control like it did in Baltimore and like
it has in so many series in the late innings,
it's just not worth it. There's the starters are way
too good to keep blowing these games. When they're giving
you six, seven and eight innings and all you need
(25:26):
is three to six outs. You've got three to six
outs in that bullpen without your ten plus million dollars
a year's salary, guys that you're trying to save face
and say, oh, we always knew they'd work it out
by September.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Well, I'm looking forward to the postseason and looking forward
to seeing what happens tonight in San Francisco. We will
be right back with your Dead and Live guy Birthday
of the Day and we will wrap it up from
the Cash Valley and the San Fernando Valley and Seal Beach.
Stay with us on AMPI seventy LA Sports. Your hume
of the Dodgers, Dodgers Giants tonight is trying to be
(26:00):
more positive going into the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Mister positivity here, mister plus.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hello PMS listener. Did you know AM five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts.

out back on the road tomorrow. This week, Matt coming up.
(26:58):
We are going out to the desert to feel the
beat of our own desert heart.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, we'll be out at Morongo Casina Resort and SPA.
That will be our Wednesday trip. So it's the seventeenth
of September, our annual visit to Morongo. We love getting
out there. Already had our fifty sign ups for the
fifty pair of tickets to that their baseball game in
La Only seven left back here in Los Angeles now,
all fifty typically don't show up, so we'll still have
(27:23):
some more to give away. Also going to be giving
away football tickets as well to the team in town
that likes to well. I guess put forth the idea
of that electricity on the side of your helmet has
a little something to do with victory.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
So we'll have all that. Too much of a a
little too much of it, little too much there I
get in trouble for that.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We will be out there from three to six and
then Tim Kate's going to do Dodgers on Deck from
six until seven. From there, Like we said, we love
getting out to that part of town. We don't do
it often, but when we do, you're always so supportive.
We appreciate that. So we'd love to see at three
to six pm, even though those fifty pair already signed
up for and potentially accounted for. Typically all fifty folks
do not show up, so we'll have some to give away.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
All right, Matt, you got the dead guy birth there
other day before we get to Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
I do.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
We do a lot of musicians in this space, So
how about one of the earliest music publishers, well, actually
the earliest music publisher in American history. British News is
what we're doing here.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
It's time for PMS, British News, United Kingdom, English News.
It's time for British News. Cheerio, sit up straight'll get
out happy.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It would have been two hundred and fifty seventh. Go ahead,
hit there, tim to Benjamin Carr born in London, which
is why it's kind of borderline British News. He came
to Philadelphia in seventeen ninety three. His mid twenties, he
was with a traveling stage company, a notable tenor, a
notable organist, and a notable composer from Philadelphia. He goes
(28:56):
to the big time and he loves it so much
he just decides to stay in New York, where he
opened a music publishing shop, and by seventeen ninety four
he was quote decidedly the most important and prolific music
publisher in America. That year, he vowed to make good
on a proclamation to publish a new song every single Monday.
(29:17):
His first this one the Kentucky Volunteer, and it is
historic as it is the first ever copyrighted song post
US Constitution. So you figure, okay, every Monday going to
get like forty fifty songs. Maybe skip a week here there.
In seventeen ninety four, No, he did it for five
(29:38):
weeks straight and he was like, yeah, I can't do
this anyway, this is this is unrealistic. He taught piano,
actually he taught all keys instruments. He gave singing lessons.
He founded the Musical Fund Society, which earned him the
nickname the Father of Philadelphia Music. He was hired by
the Philadelphia New Theater to compose and arrange for each
(30:00):
and every of their productions, which means father of Philadelphia music.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Ben carr Ken I boys the man without a father.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Well, no, you're right, I mean so the East Coast family,
Matt bel biv devou.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
This is a federal overture. His most famous work I
Love the Fans. I mean, come on, I love an overture.
His most popular song was The Little Sailor Boy seventeen
ninety eight. And how about this. He is considered to
be and by all accounts, is the first American poser
(30:36):
to set Shakespeare to music. He put Macbeth to music
in New York, January seventeen ninety five. His Hymn to
the Virgin is considered perhaps the finest early American work
from the eighteenth century. He did piano sonatas. He wrote
instruction manuals that were considered the manual of record, like
lessons and exercises in vocal music. And if you take
(31:01):
a trip to the district and visit the Smithsonian, well
there's a lot to the Smithsonian. So I guess if
you visit a specific slice of the Smithsonian, you will
see the very first sheet music covered by copyright, the
work we heard a little bit earlier by car. He
was a pious man. He rotated through multiple church.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Out here in logan, Matt I used an F bomb
when I couldn't get connected earlier and people were not happy.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I bet, yeah, I'll be careful out there.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What can I do, Matt Well? You can embrace car
and do what he did. When he retired piety, he
rotated through churches playing organ, did not want to be
linked to one specific church, but said, I will share
my talent with you the spiritual all over town for
the last twenty years of his life. He died at
sixty two. Benjamin Carr, all right.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Matt Well, for your a live guy Birthday of the Day,
beating out the comedian Drewski, who was wearing a Barry
Sanders jersey not a Shadur Sanders jersey on the Evil
four Letter the other day? Was that your girl nut
that screwed that up?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I don't know. Did she have hair? No, she doesn't
have hair. It's not McNutt. If she's got short hair,
it's McNutt. It was short haired, Okay, then it's bald
ed scallywag.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I think her name is Christine.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
This guy is the gigantic Korean star from the boy
band bts Man, and I think that's the biggest one.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
That is, I believe that's the one that protested Tim
Conway taking a shot at him.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
The biggest one ever. The guy's name r m aka
Kim Nam June thirty one years old. He is the
leader of BTS All seven Dudes, Smart Guy IQ of
one eight. Started with an underground rap group, went to
Global Cyber University, which feels like you could go there
(32:50):
from anywhere in the world. RM stands for Rap Monster.
He also plays the saxophone. Interesting he played the saxophone
in the military band for South Korea, and as he's
done his military service, he's collaborated with our own Warren
g from the Petros and Money Show, Fame Live at
(33:13):
the Rock and Bruise in Tustin, now Closed, Unfortunate, Megan v.
Stallion and Fallout Boy, Oh Your Favorite and Wala, amongst
some others. Yeah, I love Walley. He used to think
it was whale. He collects art.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I still thought it was whale.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Are you ready for some titles? Man? I am all right. Kates,
you got it?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Sound like it. I was hoping here the cricket. There
we go, Kates, you.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Got title number one. Because I'm a foolish woman.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Horns.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Thank you, War of hormone.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Oh double horns.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Hot brain problematic men, triple.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Hot brain problematic men.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Time slip, new boy.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Crickets.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Oh sensitive man? Would you turn off your cell phone?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
That's horns. I can appreciate that title.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And finally, blanket.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Kick quadruple horns right through the roof. But it blanket
kicks pretty good.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Pretty good kick somebody under the blanket. R M, rap monster.
He used to just be called rap monster, but then
he said no, I'm just r M now, kind of
like you know, puff.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Daddy and right or prince with the symbol.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, so there it is from BTS and now, Matt,
we got Dodger baseball, and it's time to knuckle up
for the.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Dodger darn right. Seven to fifteen pm, first pitch, got
a little over an hour and fifteen minutes, which means
stick around Tim Kates, David Basset, all those supporting characters
with Tim for the next hour as they've got that
a three to two and a half game lead over
the Padres in the NL West, just sixteen to play.
Ten of those, I should say seven of those will
(35:25):
come against the Giants beginning tonight. Three up there four
back here. Very exciting weekend on tap against their arch rivals.
See whether or not the Dodgers can make some hay
and extend that lead.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
A big thank you to Ronnie Fossio, our engineer, for
a great week of work. At Ronnie Fassio on Twitter,
post the playlist at Tim Kats, our executive producer Compass

Fear to you, Spetros and Money AM five seventy LA
Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Final Hour as

first Pitch seven to fifteen PM from the Gaping Motors
Broadcast booth as the Dodgers looking to make some room there.
Two and a half games up right now on the Padres,
(01:17):
who are taken on the Rocky, so certainly much tougher
task at hand for the Dodgers against the Giants. They'll
be doing it courtesy of our friends at wild Fork
find your wild Fork from Valencia to Encinitison in between
Wildforkfoods dot Com. And it's not just baseball. We're gonna
have baseball weekend obviously, but we got some football tomorrow
as well.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, wake up early with Tim Kates Wisconsin at Alabama.
You just heard the college football whip around in the
last hour. That's eight thirty AM. And then Georgia at
Tennessee at twelve thirty. Tim Kates is not on that one.
And don't forget we'll have Dodger baseball again all weekend long,
of course, and again on Monday night. Matt will have
(02:01):
Chargers Raiders on AM six forty KFI and Tim will
have Raiders Doegores Compass Media Radio Network. So a lot
of football and a lot of content headed your way,

For the people of the desert, it's coming back around again.
This is for the people of the sun. I mean
(02:22):

Dodgers on deck from out there six to seven pm.
We'll have baseball tickets to give away. We'll have football

sensational Saturday doubleheader Wisconsin Alabama, Georgia.

Ala around town. Have one night stands with Luke Fickel
and Kaylin de boor do whatever we want.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I mean, that's why we had Texas Ohio State, our
new free our divorce. I mean, you want to talk
about getting our body and fresh off the divorce and
really slinging it around town. We got arch Manning versus
Ohio State already on the ledge, already in the books
and now on the ledger for Saturday, Wisconsin Alabama followed
by Georgia Tennessee. It is liberating, let's say, to find
(03:19):
our new found freedom to date around in the college
football pool. But professional football tickets will be given away,
is what we were getting that out there at Moroco
Casina resorting spot on Wednesday for our three to six show,
along with professional baseball tickets in town. So come see us.
We always enjoy the bartender they assigned to us and
(03:40):
our drunk listeners, the wallburgers in our immediate vicinity, the
slot machines that we warm up for others to cash
in on the jackpots because we can only do it
for three to four minutes during our commercial breaks, and
all the other things that happen around the Petros and
Money show. When we bring great sports talk out to
the desert.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Who brought to you by Concordia University Masters in Coaching
in Irvine program, It's time for the final hour fut
fame in effect, it's the yeah We're three facts fun fact.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah. The Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration program has
many facts. One of them. Over five thousand coaches and
administrators have graduated from their master's program. So get all
the details at CUI dot edu slash coaching. I know
you appreciate the historic establishment scattered around San Francisco. P Now,
(04:35):
we may not have the Presidio mat Come on, we
may not have Irish coffee here in California, or it
not for Jack Kepler, owner of the Buena Vista Cafe
in San Francisco, the historic Buena Vista Cafe corner of
Hyde and Beach. So enamored was Kepler by the Irish
(04:55):
coffee served at the Shannon Airport in Ireland while he
was vacationing over there, that he spent years trying to
figure it out. It was a secret recipe. They would
not give it to him, and he realized after about
a year and a half that what was missing was
his aging. The fresh cream he sourced for forty eight
(05:17):
hours it would then froth to that very specific consistency,
allowing it to float on top of his coffee whiskey combination.
It quickly became as famous as any drink in San Francisco,
then in the state of California, and then it took
over the entire country in the early nineteen fifties. And
(05:39):
today you can still make your way to the Buena
Vista Cafe on the corner of Hide and Beach, and
you will see lines of those iconic glass mugs holding
those Irish coffees. With that glorious floating cream top.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
They still have some things out there.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Some things, although I've heard it's gotten quite a bit better.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Is leftial duels still out there? I hope.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So It's been probably two decades since I've been to
left doing.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
No more corn beef on the buffet line, all right,
it's time for quick hits. Everybody looks quick hits.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Some nigga quick, y'all?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Ye. Dodgers are eighty two and sixty four, riding a
four game winning streak, but they start a three game
weekend series tonight in San Francisco. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Verlander
the pitching matchup. Matt will have a pitching dissertation in
the next segment for the top story of the day.
They are two and a half games up in the
(06:37):
NL West with sixteen left to play. The Angels, on
the other hand, and I'm here with the concierges of
the sports Lodge. Trent Rush are sixty nine and seventy
eight in Seattle taking on the Mariners. Why are we
talking about the Angels at this late stage? I don't know,
why are we?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What? What the hell do they got going on?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's not because of the concierges, Mike Trout is one
home run of four hundred in his career. Trout is
on track to play at least one hundred and twenty
games for the first time since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm not asking this to be I'm not suggesting this
to be snarky. Does anybody care? Like there was a
moment where I might care? Well, I shouldn't say anyone.
Does anyone outside?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Does anyone care of U?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Does anyone outside affiliation with the team, Because there was
a moment when Mike Trout was the most interesting, the
most compelling player in baseball, and everybody that enjoyed the
sport of baseball cared and wanted to watch his every move,
the way he played the outfield, obviously every at bat.
And now someone who was fast tracked to the Hall
of Fame the first five years of his career, you'd
(07:45):
have to ask, uh, is is he still a Hall
of Famer? Like is Mike? Does anyone care about Mike
Trout's four hundredth home run? With Otani and Aaron Judge
having taken over the Superstarto mantle of baseball.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, I'm sure they'll cover it on the MLB Network.
Imagine if he was healthy in the last five seasons,
he'd be at five hundred home runs by the age
of thirty four.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, but he hasn't been. That's the problem. That's why
he's bought a shy at four hundred. Yeah, his body
is completely broken down. And many have you know this
sudden ideas why that may be the case. And again,
Angels have not won a single playoff game and his
entire time as supposedly the best player in baseball for
a number of those years with him on their roster,
(08:29):
not one, not a playoff series, a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Fair enough, may the Chargers are want to know to
take on the Raiders who are also want to know
on Monday night.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's right under match showed up between these two teams.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Matt's been talking about it. Chargers are three and a
half point road favorite. Here's Pete Carroll with the media
about his relationship with Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
What's your fondest memory of this rivalry with Jim Harbaugh?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I remember, Jim. No, I have no fun membories.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm not. It's great games.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It's been great games, that's all he said. But uh,
a bunch of.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Guys in different life could have been great teammates. When
he says something like that, what is.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That, Well, I think that would come from the you know,
he's seen my game, and so he would like me
to help him win, you know if I could, And
so he'd like us to play together, I guess. But
one thing we would certainly see I'd eye on is
about compete. He's always been a great competitor, and he
battled through so much when in his playing days and
and his coaching days as well. So I appreciate him
(09:28):
saying that because I'd like to play with him too.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
He said, he said that you're not on each other's
Christmas He's not on your Christmas card list. Do you
expect a birthday card from him? Then?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Well, I'm surprised you would say that, because he sends
me a birthday every card every week every year. So
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
They hate each other, they do, and and Harball I
thought did a little bit of a better job way back.
He was just his teeth were clinched when he said
I have no fond memories and and Kate's I believe
I was watching the press or there was what would
you say, maybe eight to ten seconds of silence where
people are waiting for him to like say, I'm just
(10:02):
joking after he said I have no fun memories before
the next question came in, uh, which is what we want.
It's much better to have people admit, yeah, I don't
like this guy. This guy doesn't like me. I don't
like him. Let's play a football game and stare at
each other from our respective sidelines and make it super uncomfortable,
because that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Pete carroll Smarness crossed the field f you, Mike at
Mike Pollatti USC versus Organ.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, how great is that? Nobody knows Vegas Boxing
like us.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
P is really into this fight. People really into this file.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's a big no. This's a big one.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It is.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
If you're on social media and you follow a lot
of sports, certainly your algorithm has shown you a ton
of Canelo Alvarez Terrence Crawford. It is the undisputed super
middleweight championship of the world that they're going to tussle over.
Sixty five thousand people are expected at Allegiant Stadium or
the Raiders play for the fight. Terrence Crawford forty one
(11:04):
and zero in his career. He's making ten million bucks.
Canelo sixty three to two and two one of the
biggest draws, if not the biggest draw in boxing, and
he is going to make over a hundred million dollars
for this fight.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
We'll return with more great sports talk, Matt. We're gonna
talk Dodger pitching, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Indeed we are. Big series starts tonight at seven fifteen.
We'll give you the preview you need.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Next, We've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer. Make AM five seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on
the iHeartRadio app, using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road
(11:47):
Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Patrols and money. Happy to be with you on AM
five seventy LA Sports your home of the Dodgers. Dodgers
in San Francisco Tonight first Pitch seven team which bothers
Matt from.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well I do on mind seven fifteen, okay seven twelve
seven O eight six thirty seven. You know, and plus
at least they recognize like Los Angeles. Hey give some
people some time to get here, would you you know,
let's at least go post seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well, you're lucky it's a Friday night, Matt, you know,
because they like to go six forty and that would
push us back to this. This has been schedule talk
on the Petrosid Money Show, Dodger Fans Sort Short Score
Big with flooring from Hernandez Wholesale Flooring Shop Hernandez Wholesale
Flooring dot Net, No sale beats Wholesale and now it's
(12:41):
time for the top story of the day, Top story
of it.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, Textoso came through last night yesterday afternoon, I should say,
during the show was an early one two to five
flex alert that suggested the just the negativity that I
have been thrown around these days. And while it didn't
affect me emotionally, it was a statement that stuck with
me and I did some introspection.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That's you're a negative man, that you're a locking minus sign.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Just you know, as you're navigating the civic failure that
is the five for two hours from Burbank to Seal Beach,
you do have some time to sit with your thoughts.
And while I was at times enjoying a tale of
a sunken labyrinth, labyrinth in the sub Saharan Egyptian desert.
(13:29):
I was like, okay, am I throwing too much negativity
at the Dodgers, a team that won the World Series
last year. And I've always held the position, if you
win a title, you get five years, you get a
half decade reprieve. If you win it all free pass
champions generations get to celebrate together. Oh, this is the
first one for my grandson and I to celebrate. The
(13:52):
Dodgers had not won a regular full season title that
we could enjoy as fans in person with the parade
home field Chavezravine's since nineteen eighty eight, twenty six years.
Maybe they deserve a break. So well, yeah, I think
so well, how I thinks to great sports talk? Then well,
and I think that's the flip side of the coin, right,
that's the other side of the coin, not going to
be great if the Dodgers aren't doing great and we
(14:14):
come on and say, hey, five year past man. So
I think as the anger, perhaps as the disappointment, as
the frustration comes through via the car speakers and the
am band, your air pods or you're super cool. The
hipsters are all wearing the wired headphones again because of
(14:35):
some sort of cancer thing. They're worried about Gamma rays
and Gabbas and all that sort of stuff. However, you're consuming.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yo Gabba Gabba.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Exactly, it's not it's not the players. Even though it
may come out that way, it is not necessarily as
as everyone that joins us says, well, it's not like
Tanner Scott is trying to pitch like crap. No, it's
it's not that, it's the it's the decision making. It's
(15:06):
the way that this is being managed that that defies
logic and suggests that there's just a little too much
cya more than hey, let's let's do what looks right,
let's do what makes sense. What's staring us right in
the face.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
In the face.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So, when you're trying to cover your ass for a
seventy two million dollar four year deal, I understand you
want to explore every avenue possible to determine if Tanner
Scott can pitch in the post season in an eigh
leverage situation. Same with a one year, thirteen million dollar
deal for Kirby Yates, Blake Trying and Michael Kopek, two
guys that were heroes through last year's World series run.
(15:47):
And again, if last year at this time you told
anyone that the Dodger bullpen was going to be Kirby Yates, Tanner,
Scott Blake, Trying, and Michael Kopek, they'd say, just engrave
the Commissioner's trophy right now. The team better have a
lead after five innings, so they're completely screwed. But bullpens
are weird, and there's a reason why these guys aren't
(16:07):
starters and making three hundred million dollars instead of thirteen
million dollars. Because unless you're a top shelf closer and
you've been in that role for over say half a decade.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Top shelf Callie Weed, just arrive.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
There's no reason to ever trust a bullpen arm. It's
going to be consistent from year to year.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And so unless it's Mariano Rivera, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
That's what I mean, because he was great for five,
well ten, fifteen years, like those guys, Hey, it's been
five years for filling the Kenley Jansen right with the
Dodgers five you had a decade long run and then
it gets old and it starts sliding a little bit,
and it's like, okay, yeah, well he's thirty four so yes,
it's gonna start falling off. But yeah, when when Tanner
(16:53):
Scott has a good year and a half and you
decide to throw four years at him, it's like this, okay,
this makes it yes right now, But we do recognize
that this could bite us in the s. There is
that possibility, and so the idea that they got sixteen
games left and that they're somehow going to give you
(17:14):
something that we haven't seen the previous five months, it's
kind of spinning our wheels. I mean, you've got a
two and a half game lead in the division. The
difference in winning the National League West and losing it
to the Padres or if things go horribly wrong over
seven against San Francisco to the Giants is either being
(17:35):
at Dodger Stadium for three straight if you need that
third game in a wildcard series, or maybe if you
do what we hope they can do against the Phillies
and sweep them, who are four and a half up
on the Dodgers, even though they're riding their own four
game win streak, they have not been able to make
up any ground here. Maybe you catch them and you're
able to get a buye into the Divisional round. But
(17:57):
if this doesn't go right, you got to try. You're
likely on a road series in Chicago. Is there a
game up on the Dodgers right now? And after the
start of the season really kind of had their way
with the boys in Blue on the back end of
their meetings. These are not times to check things out,
to work out some kinks.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Not that time.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Uh No, it's too late. The Giants are a game
back in the lost column of the Mets for the
final wild card spot. I mean, they take four to
seven from the Dodgers. They go five and two in
this series, and you want to take that on in
the first in the first round, in the wild card round,
in a best of three series, after losing five to
seven or four of seven, you do not want to
(18:41):
welcome that possibility into the mix because it's your bullpen.
That's the only likely path of that happening. I mean,
they are the only team this bullpen. The Dodgers bullpen
is the only bullpen with a worse bullpen era in
the National League playoff picture. The only one that's worth
is the versus the Phillies. Every other playoff team has
(19:04):
a much better bullpen than the Dodgers. They are tied
with the Phillies for the third most blown saves in
the NL period. Only the Mets and the Diamondbacks are worse.
And that's why the Giants are back in this thing
and the Mets haven't run away with it. The Dodgers
have twenty three blown saves. Meanwhile, the Padres have the
fewest in the National League fifteen, the Cubs the second
(19:26):
fewest seventeen two potential wildcard or divisional opponents. Tanner Scott's
nine blown saves are the most in baseball, so that's
the frustration. He's allowed ten home runs. Kirby Yates has
allowed eight home runs. We did the story like I
don't know two three weeks ago, I think where we
were talking about home runs in the postseason and how
(19:50):
it is the greatest predictor of wins versus losses. Which
team hits more home runs in the series ninety percent
of the time is the team that wins the series.
Clayton Kershaw has pitched double the innings of Tanner. Scott
has a fastball that's clocking in around eighty six to
eighty eight miles an hour, and he has allowed just
seven home runs to Tanner Scott's ten in double the
(20:13):
innings at thirty seven years old with an eighty eight
mile an hour fastball, Like, what are you going to
see in the last sixteen games? You're gonna run him
out there ten times cause he's not gonna do great
in all ten. There's just there's no chance. There is
nothing that we've seen this season that would say he's
gonna go ten for ten. So if he does great
and seven and he blows three games, are you still
(20:34):
gonna put him out there in a playoff game? I
just don't see it. Like, the only reason to continue
to do this is to try to make that four year,
seventy two million dollar deal shine a little bit here
late in the year. But just write it off, man, Like,
write it off. See if you can get him right
in Arizona in February, and say what we're saying here,
(20:56):
bullpens are weird, man, bullpen arms are weird. Full faith
that over the final three years of this deal, Tanner's
gonna get it right. He'll figure it out. We're gonna
work through it all off season. For whatever reason, twenty
twenty five sucked and we're gonna see if we can
get twenty twenty six to look like twenty twenty four.
Now I know he went out there Wednesday and did
one scoreless. In terms of Kirby Yates, here's your other
(21:20):
one thirteen million dollar deal. So Kirby goes out there Wednesday,
does one scoreless. But in his last five he's got
two clean innings, two clean innings including Wednesdays, and then
he's got well, if I tell you, the other three
innings in his last five are five hits, two home
runs and five runs. How does that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So like, not like I'm on poipoop or shipwrecked beach
and Kawhii and the Yates family having a great time.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, So like, what what are you looking for? What
do you want? With the way the starters are working
right now? You don't need these guys, Like that's the difference.
Last year they had no star garding pitching. They had
to have five or six guys in the bullpen. Vessi, Bond, Copek, Phillips, Jacler,
(22:08):
Leuhler Walk. Yeah, they needed all of that last year.
This year right now, look at each of the not four,
not three, six guys in the rotation the last time
they went out and this is not. This is not outlier.
This is what it's looked like for these guys all season.
Last time out, Otani three and two thirds, three hits,
(22:28):
zero runs, five k's. That was an emergency start on
five and not six days. Yama eight and two thirds,
one hit, had a no hitter until two outs of
the ninth and he one run, ten strikeouts, Kershaw five
and two thirds, four hits, two runs, eight strikeouts, Glass
Now seven innings, zero hits, one run, eleven strikeouts, she
and seven innings, three hits, one run, nine strikeouts, and
(22:50):
Blake Snell six innings, two hits, zero runs, eleven case.
The starters are great. They're nails. They are pitching their
best baseball right now. As we enter the playoff season.
As a team, the Dodgers are six in the NL,
and that include for starter era sixth in the NL
for starter er, but that includes the one hundred four
(23:14):
innings and four eight five ERA of Dustin May, the
thirty six innings and five r of Tony gonzl In
the thirty four innings, and four to seven to two
ERA of Roki Sasaki. Guys that aren't starting anymore, two
that aren't even on the team. Anymore. You ditch those
and you're the top. You're number two in starter era.
So when you don't need to work the postseason like
(23:36):
you worked at last year, why not over these final
six teams, final sixteen games, get reps to the guys
that we want out there. Just put Jack Dryer on
the mound every single ninth inning. He is your closer.
Run that out there, see how it works until he's
not just considering our ross.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Jack Dryer up the flag ball and see who salutes it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Exactly right. I want to run Alex Vessia in the
eighth inning every single eighth inning. Get out there, Vesia,
you're the eighth inning guy, and then you can rotate
the seventh and the sixth between Bonda and Enriquez and
operate on that level. And if it doesn't work, then
you get Tanner Scott in there, Kirby Yates trying, But
(24:22):
why not ride the hot hands when your starters are
pitching this well, if you're up big and you want
to get some reps to Tanner Scott and you want
to get some reps to Kirby Yates and see if
they can locate better than they have and not serve
up Doggers like they have every single time they go out.
Same with Blake Trining. Can you get Michael Kopek to
find some control when you're up big great, and if
(24:44):
you have a big lead the next day, do it again.
But I'd want to see three or four of those
low leverage, successful bullpen outings before I am even thinking
about a game in the balance, when you're just two
and a half up on the Padres, who are in
the midst of a series with the Rockies before starting
one with the White Sox and then another one with
(25:05):
the Rockies, and the ability for this thing to spin
out of control like it did in Baltimore and like
it has in so many series in the late innings,
it's just not worth it. There's the starters are way
too good to keep blowing these games. When they're giving
you six, seven and eight innings and all you need
(25:26):
is three to six outs. You've got three to six
outs in that bullpen without your ten plus million dollars
a year's salary, guys that you're trying to save face
and say, oh, we always knew they'd work it out
by September.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Well, I'm looking forward to the postseason and looking forward
to seeing what happens tonight in San Francisco. We will
be right back with your Dead and Live guy Birthday
of the Day and we will wrap it up from
the Cash Valley and the San Fernando Valley and Seal Beach.

(26:58):
We are going out to the desert to feel the
beat of our own desert heart.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, we'll be out at Morongo Casina Resort and SPA.
That will be our Wednesday trip. So it's the seventeenth
of September, our annual visit to Morongo. We love getting
out there. Already had our fifty sign ups for the
fifty pair of tickets to that their baseball game in
La Only seven left back here in Los Angeles now,
all fifty typically don't show up, so we'll still have
(27:23):
some more to give away. Also going to be giving
away football tickets as well to the team in town
that likes to well. I guess put forth the idea
of that electricity on the side of your helmet has
a little something to do with victory.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
So we'll have all that. Too much of a a
little too much of it, little too much there I
get in trouble for that.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We will be out there from three to six and
then Tim Kate's going to do Dodgers on Deck from
six until seven. From there, Like we said, we love
getting out to that part of town. We don't do
it often, but when we do, you're always so supportive.
We appreciate that. So we'd love to see at three
to six pm, even though those fifty pair already signed
up for and potentially accounted for. Typically all fifty folks
do not show up, so we'll have some to give away.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
All right, Matt, you got the dead guy birth there
other day before we get to Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
I do.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
We do a lot of musicians in this space, So
how about one of the earliest music publishers, well, actually
the earliest music publisher in American history. British News is
what we're doing here.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
It's time for PMS, British News, United Kingdom, English News.
It's time for British News. Cheerio, sit up straight'll get
out happy.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It would have been two hundred and fifty seventh. Go ahead,
hit there, tim to Benjamin Carr born in London, which
is why it's kind of borderline British News. He came
to Philadelphia in seventeen ninety three. His mid twenties, he
was with a traveling stage company, a notable tenor, a
notable organist, and a notable composer from Philadelphia. He goes
(28:56):
to the big time and he loves it so much
he just decides to stay in New York, where he
opened a music publishing shop, and by seventeen ninety four
he was quote decidedly the most important and prolific music
publisher in America. That year, he vowed to make good
on a proclamation to publish a new song every single Monday.
(29:17):
His first this one the Kentucky Volunteer, and it is
historic as it is the first ever copyrighted song post
US Constitution. So you figure, okay, every Monday going to
get like forty fifty songs. Maybe skip a week here there.
In seventeen ninety four, No, he did it for five
(29:38):
weeks straight and he was like, yeah, I can't do
this anyway, this is this is unrealistic. He taught piano,
actually he taught all keys instruments. He gave singing lessons.
He founded the Musical Fund Society, which earned him the
nickname the Father of Philadelphia Music. He was hired by
the Philadelphia New Theater to compose and arrange for each
(30:00):
and every of their productions, which means father of Philadelphia music.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Ben carr Ken I boys the man without a father.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Well, no, you're right, I mean so the East Coast family,
Matt bel biv devou.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
This is a federal overture. His most famous work I
Love the Fans. I mean, come on, I love an overture.
His most popular song was The Little Sailor Boy seventeen
ninety eight. And how about this. He is considered to
be and by all accounts, is the first American poser
(30:36):
to set Shakespeare to music. He put Macbeth to music
in New York, January seventeen ninety five. His Hymn to
the Virgin is considered perhaps the finest early American work
from the eighteenth century. He did piano sonatas. He wrote
instruction manuals that were considered the manual of record, like
lessons and exercises in vocal music. And if you take
(31:01):
a trip to the district and visit the Smithsonian, well
there's a lot to the Smithsonian. So I guess if
you visit a specific slice of the Smithsonian, you will
see the very first sheet music covered by copyright, the
work we heard a little bit earlier by car. He
was a pious man. He rotated through multiple church.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Out here in logan, Matt I used an F bomb
when I couldn't get connected earlier and people were not happy.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I bet, yeah, I'll be careful out there.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What can I do, Matt Well? You can embrace car
and do what he did. When he retired piety, he
rotated through churches playing organ, did not want to be
linked to one specific church, but said, I will share
my talent with you the spiritual all over town for
the last twenty years of his life. He died at
sixty two. Benjamin Carr, all right.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Matt Well, for your a live guy Birthday of the Day,
beating out the comedian Drewski, who was wearing a Barry
Sanders jersey not a Shadur Sanders jersey on the Evil
four Letter the other day? Was that your girl nut
that screwed that up?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I don't know. Did she have hair? No, she doesn't
have hair. It's not McNutt. If she's got short hair,
it's McNutt. It was short haired, Okay, then it's bald
ed scallywag.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I think her name is Christine.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
This guy is the gigantic Korean star from the boy
band bts Man, and I think that's the biggest one.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
That is, I believe that's the one that protested Tim
Conway taking a shot at him.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
The biggest one ever. The guy's name r m aka
Kim Nam June thirty one years old. He is the
leader of BTS All seven Dudes, Smart Guy IQ of
one eight. Started with an underground rap group, went to
Global Cyber University, which feels like you could go there
(32:50):
from anywhere in the world. RM stands for Rap Monster.
He also plays the saxophone. Interesting he played the saxophone
in the military band for South Korea, and as he's
done his military service, he's collaborated with our own Warren
g from the Petros and Money Show, Fame Live at
(33:13):
the Rock and Bruise in Tustin, now Closed, Unfortunate, Megan v.
Stallion and Fallout Boy, Oh Your Favorite and Wala, amongst
some others. Yeah, I love Walley. He used to think
it was whale. He collects art.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I still thought it was whale.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Are you ready for some titles? Man? I am all right. Kates,
you got it?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Sound like it. I was hoping here the cricket. There
we go, Kates, you.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Got title number one. Because I'm a foolish woman.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Horns.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Thank you, War of hormone.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Oh double horns.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Hot brain problematic men, triple.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Hot brain problematic men.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Time slip, new boy.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Crickets.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Oh sensitive man? Would you turn off your cell phone?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
That's horns. I can appreciate that title.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And finally, blanket.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Kick quadruple horns right through the roof. But it blanket
kicks pretty good.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Pretty good kick somebody under the blanket. R M, rap monster.
He used to just be called rap monster, but then
he said no, I'm just r M now, kind of
like you know, puff.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Daddy and right or prince with the symbol.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, so there it is from BTS and now, Matt,
we got Dodger baseball, and it's time to knuckle up
for the.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Dodger darn right. Seven to fifteen pm, first pitch, got
a little over an hour and fifteen minutes, which means
stick around Tim Kates, David Basset, all those supporting characters
with Tim for the next hour as they've got that
a three to two and a half game lead over
the Padres in the NL West, just sixteen to play.
Ten of those, I should say seven of those will
(35:25):
come against the Giants beginning tonight. Three up there four
back here. Very exciting weekend on tap against their arch rivals.
See whether or not the Dodgers can make some hay
and extend that lead.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
A big thank you to Ronnie Fossio, our engineer, for
a great week of work. At Ronnie Fassio on Twitter,
post the playlist at Tim Kats, our executive producer Compass
College Football. Tomorrow morning you'll hear him early for the
Wisconsin Alabama game. And don't forget well, that's all the
(35:56):
people that work on our show. Just Ronnie. We'll be
back on on Monday.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
We'll be that borrow
