How's the stream stream commencing broadcasting on AM five to
seventy LA Sports and streaming on the iHeartRadio Whips.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The longest running afternoon sports show in the city. No
congratulations necessary.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
All traces of Fred Rogan have been removed. This is
Petros in Money, Thank You, Thank You, hosted by Petros papadae.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Gas terrible person, He's the worst and Matt money Smith.
The pipes, the pipes, the pipe. Don't miss an episode.
We're with you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the petros in Money Show. Wherever you get
your podcasts now Here's Petros Papadaecus and Matt money Smith.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I want to write a novel about silence, the things
people don't say.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Look on me you Petro saying Money. AM five to
seventy LA Sports live everywhere, on the iHeartRadio app and
live in studio in Burbank is where we are. Four
hour show today from live in studio, And it's not
his fault. I just want an acknowledgement, that's all. I
just want to smile, want a head nod. It is
(01:10):
your home of the Dodgers, the World Series Champion Dodgers,
big victory yesterday, Little sketchy there in the ninth. Then
he we'll get into that today Tomorrow though, we'll be
at Dodgers Stadium, first pitch, six h eight pm from
the Gaping Motors broadcast booth. It'll be game three Yoshi
Yamamoto against Aaron Nola, and today between now and the
end of the show at seven pm, a full four
hour show. We do have a lot of giveaways. We
(01:31):
got one pair of tickets for tomorrow's game three, so
an opportunity for them to sweep the divisional round. Only
eight of twenty teams that have fallen behind zero two
and lost both home games have even forced a game four,
so perhaps you'll be there for a celebration. Certainly seems
(01:52):
like the Dodgers have the advantage in the pitching category,
the starting pitching category with Nola, who has not been
great on the road zero and six with a seventy
versus Yamamoto. But we will put you in the house
if you are the correct caller between now and seven pm.
Will let you know when to call one pair of
tickets to give away. And you said, pee, we have
a plethora uprising. We do.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We have bond Jovie tickets to give away sort of,
right Well, we have four pairs of tickets to an
iHeart album preview with John bon Jovie on Thursday at
the iHeart Theater here in Burdbank. John is going to
share exclusive first listen tracks from Forever, the Legendary Edition,
(02:32):
and backstory about the album. It's kind of like an
inside the actors studio with the musician. But people love
John bon Jovi out of New Jersey, I mean the absolutely.
I know the Dodgers are playing Philly right now and
all that, and he's a big Philly guy, but people
do love John bon Jovie.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You can maybe really give him the business on Thursday,
make it a miserable trip for him by wearing all
your Dodger get into there, you know, because he's a Phillies.
He's in Eagles, he's always doing the national anthem at
their games. Well, we do have four pair to give away. There,
we go four opportunities.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It didn't say you couldn't wear that in there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It might be a little insensitive, you know, he is
John bon Jovie. He's nice enough to come share stories
with you.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I think if bon Jovie got all bent out of
shape that people had Dodger gear on and an La
radio station that carries the Dodgers, then that's on bon Jove. Probably,
you know, he makes a lot of money off a
lot of people that aren't just Philly fans.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm guessing he's he's getting a pretty good bang for
his buck out of the folks at iHeart with the
Forever Legendary Edition album. Should We Open a Phones? What
is your favorite bon Jovi song?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
All?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I was talking to Tim Kats and he was one
two I only know living on a Prayer. I was like, no,
you don't, you know at least ten more bon Jovi?
What about Dead or Alive?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And he was like, oh yeah, I no, no. What
about bad medicine? Nope, you don't know bad medicine.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Your love is like bad medicine. Bad medicine is what
I need a shake it up. It's like bad medicine.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You don't know that, never heard of? What about you
give Love a bad name? Their first big hit.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Shot to the Hall and your too lame baby, you
give love a bad name.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I play my part and you play your game.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You give Love.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
A bad name? Okay, so I know three songs? Okay, yeah,
that's it. What about No.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, I don't know what you're doing. Okay, what about
Young Guns the movie that was solo? It was solo,
but it's still I'm shot in a Blazer Glory. Yeah,
it doesn't re me. Come on, really, Young Guns too.
You can keep singing. I don't recognize shoves Chavez. I
(04:58):
know the movie. I don't recognize the song, though.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
What about I say We're living in love, they say
we're living in sin. That's another good one.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Can you sing it for me?
Speaker 6 (05:07):
I say we're living in love, they say we're living
in sin.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, I don't know. Have I not sung enough? It's
my life. I want to live. This is a good one.
I'll be there for you these five words. I swear
to you when I breathe.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I want to be the air for you, and you
when you breathe, I want to be the air.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
For you, be there for you. I die for you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I know that was on the sky for you. Oh,
now Matt's cheating. I'm going raw dog.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I was out.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I was out of the row, dog. But at least
I plant the seed. And then you can sing all
the lyrics which I'll get wrong. At least I pulled out.
No no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Na.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Nervousy goodbye. I'm out, nervousy goodbye. You don't remember that one.
I don't recognize that our ballad? Uh, I think that's it.
I don't reckon. There's like sixty songs on here. Oh
you were born to be my baby, was born to
(06:26):
be your man. That's another one. Come on, don't recognize it?
Should we give away a pair? Right now? Let's do
it right now. Let's make the guy sing with us.
It's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, eight six six ninety seven, two five seventy. Who
wants to go see John bond Jovie?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Talk about talk about Forever the Legendary edition and give

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, that's all I know with that song is that
that keyboard opening with that dude with the crazy hair.
We can't sing along with you, Todd. But hey, he
named Runaway, so I guess that means he's a really
zobe fan. I mean, come on, this guy's attitude in
these little too cools. Can we legally take a prize
away from somebody?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, we can't. I don't think at least sure we

It was when he pulled out Runaway. It's like, Okay,

(09:18):

Speaker 3 (09:25):
We're gonna have David Vay, David Vasse live from the
Dodger Workout is gonna be on next and we have
Dodger Talk tonight at seven o'clock with David Vasse, so
we'll have all the latest David vass Ben to work
back at three in the morning.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Well, Tim Kates did do Dodger Talk last night after
doing six to nine on Scam, did he right, Kates? Yeah,
I had Dodger Talk last Yeah, So Kate's does Dodger Talk.
Oh yeah, that's right after the game, and he's got
three hours of Scam and he's got to produce our
show from on for four hours, no sweat off our
back and we just started. But this is remember this
(10:04):
is kind of the time of year when you get
a Kate's DV showdown over who's working harder, over who's
burning da That's what I mean. Dave's on the road.
But Kate's is like, hey man, I'm up at four
every morning prepping a three hour morning show. I'm booking
guests all day. I got to work with these two
clowns in the afternoon, and then half the time I
(10:24):
got to do Dodger talk and then days oh yeah, well,
you know, Dave of course pushes back. I'm on the road,
I'm getting interviews, I'm doing Instagram lives, I'm doing interviews
for iHeart who Knows Where all the time in order
to be a good corporate partner. And I feel like
the two of them really whip it out and start measuring.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
It's still early, Matt. It's only the DS once we
get to the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I was thinking, like, I don't remember last year scam
going all the way through the World Series. That must
have knocked everybody out clean.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It was a month, the entire month of October last year.
Geez oh, Kate's was counting his money man. Every day
he was counting. It was a full month of a
daily you know, a daily payday.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I heard Damn Ruby had a two room suite at
Grand Canyon University.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I was going super big olds all day, all day. Yeah,
I forget that. I'm not even getting a half big gold.
You want a vente sert Damn right, I do. I've
been working scam all month. A five dollar tip. Cats
is the guy with the remember that when seven to
eleven sold that barrel that you could bring back into refill.
It was like ninety six ounces of soda. That's the
(11:33):
plan that you were on.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
At Chipotle, They're like, do you want avocado for three
p fifty sir? I said, gosh, Charlotte, I've been working
scam all month. Yeah, right, seven dollars worth of avocados. Right,
I'll take that quak on the side please.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
All right, So if you thought that was annoying, you're
not going to believe the way the people in Philadelphia
are reacting to the way that the now you know
it was a destiny.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You heard whatever everybody's been saying.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
The Dodgers were out there in Philly before the season ended,
and they beat the Dodgers and they clinched the division,
and I said something like, man.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
They cut them. They clinched the playoff spot here, I believe, right, Kates,
and they celebrated they didn't at Dodger Stadium, sprayed champagne
all over.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
So that's my bad corrections and retractions. I'm sorry. I'm toasted. Yeah,
they Pollutedium, right, they were here, so their studio show
was back in Philly and they did like I was
watching the Philly broadcast that they did like a cutaway
during the game, and I saw like the three or
four guys, and I'm sure they're all household names in
Philadelphia and very famous baseball players. I didn't see Chase
(12:44):
Utley or anything, but I saw them and I was
they were like and I was like, geez, they cut
away and those guys were wild. I remember saying that
on the show and you said something like, of course
it's Philly, what are your things? And it was like yeah,
but this was like they were really like the host
EPHN was like not like a polished host type. He
(13:05):
was more like a you know, like screaming gunnerily. And
then last night, uh, it went viral on Twitter that
the postgame show not the not the one guy I
sent you the Philly postgame showy. They were getting crazy
on each other about base running and about Castanos and
(13:26):
all that.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
My dad used to say, I don't care what he did.
I want to know what you did. And what Rob
Thompson did was not pinch run.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
He bunned with Scott when he could have pinched run.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Could not run the guy because he had to hold
on bad Vader could not run the bases, would.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Would have to let him walk.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
The second scores the man.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
He would have been done if he would have had
to run, He probably would.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Have wouldn't have had him run. But that's that's how
you gotta be thinking. Come on, and.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Then he starts clad loving him. Come on, I just like.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I was like, I cannot imagine John hard tongue with
the hardest tongue in all of media, clicking his tongue
and yelling at no mar and Jay Hare and Jay
Hare come on or Oral or the d train like
I don't. I I was just dumbfounded by I.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Was dumbfounded by the very beginning and the life lesson
he learned from his father. I was trying to follow
along with me.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
If you were in a fight and you're like, say,
the other guy punched me, and he said, I don't
care what the other guy did.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Used to say, I don't care what he did. I
want to know what you did.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, I got you. I guess I didn't know what
context that.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And then they I'll just start screaming, I have no
idea what they're talking about.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Was not Pinch run. He bunned with Scott when run.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
He could not have.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Pish run the guy because he had a hold on Vader.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, Darth Vader Vader. Oh, I was gonna say, Vader
can't run now with that helmet and that cloak and
that dress on.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Sorry, I'm sorry. Uh that really kind of set me
back a little bit. Uh yeah, you fired that off
to us last night. I found it wildly entertaining. I
was like geez, and then like somebody was even worse.
This is this is bad. I feel like we should
have like a disclaimer on this one before we let
this thing fire off. Why it's he's really annoying. This
(15:37):
guy's like, well listen here, you look who you're talking to.
You've done radio with me for twenty years. I'm just
like this, not like this at all?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
What a discreet what eighth disgrace.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You're not like this at all.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
You are so lucky. Who's this guy's name, Dave Roberts's bring.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
His name is huntervill Body, Billyson.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Hunter Body. I believe doesn't phi fanatic. You are so lucky.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Dave Roberts's brain dead because there's no reason to not
have Sasaki in the ninth inny Wood.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
He damn do.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But here's the thing. When the team is so stupid.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
And a manager on the other side does something that
should be fatal Fato that decision should have murdered the
Dodgers in Game two. It should have absolutely blown up
in his face.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean, yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Rob Thompson said, watch this. You want to see stupid.
I'll give you stupid. Give it up and down. All
the momentum in the world. It was crashing down. It
was crashing down all the Dodgers. They were letting it slip.
They were giving you a golden opportunity to get past stop.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait, I just want to say that.
I mean, we've done this for a living for twenty years.
It's not exactly rocket science, but that ain't it.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know like that, ain't it? Whatever? That is
what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Is this what people respond to this?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
If you guys are sticking this dead head local gig,
get a follow by lead and go dash itel Like,
I understand we've been in the same job for twenty
years and some might frown upon that and look down
on us. But it's a pretty good gig. Drive time
in Los Angeles. I feel like it's a pretty good gig.
But no, no, I don't think it's trying.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Move a rhino Nick Costianos over to third and give up.
And now it's dumb baseball. So you counter Dave Roberts's
dumb baseball, which some think dumb. How he Let me
be very clear, please, did you have the mean issue
(18:06):
with this team?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Trey Turner, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarver. Ye two for
twenty one. The main issue is.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
That boom two ol cout baby, let's see you give
it a swinging at trash, swinging at vomit.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait Now we did all come
up and enjoy Sam Kinnison's comedy, did we not?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah? But that was comedy. This is just the not
what this is. This is, this is ironic. I would
say this is the comic comedy.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Swinging at trash, swinging.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
At vomit, swinging at something that wasn't in the heart
of the meat and potatoes of the plane on a
two O coun smart baseball, bobo, here you go, gad.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
That right there. It's sarcasm that was very, very aggressive.
And there's something about the Philly people where they clap
yeah like they like they're mad.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Come on. And then there's smart baseball. Boomer.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
Here you go, kid, that's right here, kid, I wait
to go, Bud.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Good Stove going on quality baseball, winning baseball, winning playoff baseball.
Speaker 2 (19:32):

Philly ignorance. Who's Boomer? Is that Schwarber? I don't Schwarber.
Seems like boom ohs boom Yeah. I got you, Boomer,
I got you.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I mean, I know Matt gets a little angry sometimes
during the top story of the day, and he can
get angry incongruously because you.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Know it's I regret it almost immediately. Well, it's a
hard sport, you know, and it's hard to hit the ball. Say,
it's the hardest thing in all.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Them It was crashing down all the doggers.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
They were letting it slip.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
They were giving you a golden opportunity to get back
in the share.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Rash people watch that. Is he like popular? Or did
we just stumble upon this? You know, that's a great question,
Like is it? That's what I was trying to figure out,
Like is he I get Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I think? I still have the link you sent me
so I can. It's got two hundred and fifty six
thousand of youew okay, Well, I would say, but is
that because it went viral? Because because he screamed himself inside.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Out says he's a host of WIP Radio at Philadelphia.
He also worked for Bleacher Report.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
So I guess that's how it is. I mean, I
guess that's how we are reacting in the moment. If
you're a Philly type. Vomit, swinging it, vomit swinging at trash.
I believe was it. I think it was either Frank.
I think it was Frank Robinson that said, uh swinging again,
(21:05):
that hitting against Sandy Kofax was like eating soup with
a fork. So I think this is maybe as eloquent
as that was. This is sort of the Philly version.
I think you could have said all that stuff without,
you know, screaming.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Swinging at trash, swinging that vombit.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I mean, that's a pretty good clip. Yeah, that's it.
It's a good nugget you on earth there, and then
the craze clapping, Yeah, here you go, cad, right, you're kid,

Speaker 2 (25:31):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vass Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
When it comes to dealing with the Baseball Dodgers, David
Vasse is number one for he is with the team,
he is embedded. He knows what's happening before you know
what's happening. He knows the attitudes of the opponent, and
he knows the attitudes of the boys in Blue MLB
Network and of course Spectrum Sports NETADL and right here
(26:01):
on AMPI seventy LA Sports known as the Real DV
at the Real DV on X. Thank you, Dave, and
thank you for joining us. We are so happy to
have you and welcome home.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Thank you. I'm out here at Dodger Stadium. The Phillies
are doing their part of their workout. They landed this
morning in Los Angeles or this afternoon in Los Angeles,
Bryce Harper. Everyday Trey taking batting practice out here. Bryce
Harper actually said he loves coming to Los Angeles. He
grew up a big Dodger fan in Las Vegas. He
(26:39):
actually was one of the players that showed up in
the press box on one of his visits to say
goodbye to Vincecully. And the Phillies are wearing their baby
Blues throwback seventies uniforms for these two games. The players
went to their manager and said, hey, we want to
wear these in LA So that's what they got on
(26:59):
and that's what you'll see tomorrow night, Dave.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Since we're starting Phillies, what's the idea behind Aaron Nola?
You look at the numbers and he's zero and six
with a seven era on the road this year. How
does that sort of jibe with the idea that the
Phillies are going up against Perhaps the guy you could
say is the ace of the Dodger staff and Yamamoto.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Hey, the Phillies beat writers and media where Pepper and
Rob Thompson about that just about a half hour ago
in the press conference room quizzing him on why Nola
is the guy and not Ranger Suarez, and his explanation
was that Nola was good in his last start and
he has more faith in him basically starting the game tomorrow.
(27:43):
Everybody's questioning this decision. Ranger Suarez will come out of
the bullpen for the Phillies at some point, but a
lot of the Philly media are asking the same question,
why isn't Ranger Suarez starting the game? And could it
be similar to their cloths? Are Joean Durant coming into
the first two games when it was mop up times?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
How upset were people? I mean, We've been playing some
clips from some Philly media and it's kind of hard
to imagine that they get that angry and that unhingt.
Speaker 10 (28:14):
Swinging that trash, swinging that vomit.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, do you find that all around the town, Dame?
I mean mostly you go around to town and it's
I mean, you know, it's not as crazy as we
would imagine or we would purport on radio or TV.
But do you get that vibe? I mean, are they
that insane?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Things change? The mood of that city changed. After the
Eagles lost their game to the Broncos on Sunday, I
was out just trying to get some dinner walking and
there were a lot of angry people out there, a
very uneasy city. I agree with you, unhinged city bed
sports weekend in Philadelphia with the Sillies losing both home
(28:58):
games and the Eagles making everybody sad on Sunday, So yeah,
it is a very uh it's weird how emotional and
how they allowed the mood of their day change over
one football game or one baseball game. I know the
East Coast is different, but it just seems a little
extreme to me. And after tomorrow night they're going to
(29:21):
be really sad when these baby Blues packing home back
to Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Is was Rob Thomas that bad? Well?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I mean he made some I don't everybody's second guessing
him on why he had stopt a left handed hitter
spunt in that situation. But look, it took a great
play by Mookie Bets and Max Months he to get
Castianos out. If he's there safe, nobody's second guessing him.
But a lot of people around baseball were also wondering
the same thing. Why would he have stot bunt in
(29:54):
that situation instead of just allowing him to try to
hit the ball to the right side or get a
fly ball in that situation. So right now, Rob Thompson
is under fire for the decision to have Aaron Nola
pitch tomorrow and also that decision to have stopped funt
in that situation. And also, guys, you know Joean Duran,
(30:15):
the game was on the line in the seventh inning
last night and he chose not to use them, try
to use them in a classic closer style. A lot
of people are wondering that as it was happening in
real time.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You mentioned a bunt, Dave, You're very close with Freddie.
He had a really cool elongated answer in the post
game about how that whole thing came together. You're with
this team all the time, Like, how hard is it
to execute that play? Do in fact they ever practice it?
Whose idea was it? Like give us everything you got
on it, because it certainly seems like the play of
(30:46):
the night.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah. Well, Number one, the Dodgers have not practiced it
since spring training. Number two, the last time they even
talked about it or executed it was when the Dodgers
were in Anaheim in the middle of the summer, and
it was Miguel Rojas that initiated that. And last night.
Mookie Betts told us after the game that he remembered
(31:09):
that play and that conversation, and as the Dodgers were
making the pitching change with Alex Vesia, Mooki Betts was
the one that came up with that idea and insisted
that they're going to bunt and we've got to execute
this wheel play. We've got to do the wheel play.
It was all Mookie Betts. It wasn't Dave Roberts, it
wasn't Miguel Rojas, it wasn't Max Munsey, but everybody was
(31:31):
on board. So credit Mookie Betts, who is in his
first full year playing the position at shortstop, that decided
that that game change in play needed to take place,
and it paid off. They executed it without Munsey's throw,
without Mookie selling it the way he did. That game
goes upside down.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And feels like something if the Dodgers go a lot
further that we will remember going forward as a pivotal moment.
David Vass is our guest. Rob Thompson, I'm sorry, I
thought it was the guy from Matchbox twenty who's gotten
into baseball.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
This three m al must be lonely, I.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Said, baby We've been doing a lot of singing here today, DAB.
A lot of people are very excited about the Dodgers
and you coming home. But one thing that's kind of
been lost with all the late game chaos is Blake
Snell's performance again and just how locked in that guy
is right now. I know it's near and dear to you,
(32:32):
but can you give us some perspective on what smell
Zilla's doing this postseason?
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Yeah, and again a lot of disrespect for what Blake
Snell did last night. He was outstanding because Luzardo was
outstanding and retired seventeen straight Dodgers. And without Blake Snell
pitching the way he did, the Dodgers don't win that game.
That stadium was just anticipating any little thing that could
(33:00):
allow them to erupt. And if he gives up a
run or two, that game is much different than a
scoreless tie going into the seventh inning last night, and
without him pitching the way he did, the Dodgers don't
win that game. And incredibly disrespectful. Only two questions in
that postgame press conference about a guy that pitched the
(33:21):
Dodgers to a game to win again.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, one hit six innings, no runs, like you said,
matching Lozardo pitch for pitch, allowing the Dodgers' bats to
wake up after Lozardo exited the game. Obviously they've you know,
the even though they won there, there are a lot
of questions about the idea behind not going to what
everybody thinks is their closer for the postseason in Sasaki. Ultimately,
he did have to save their ass. But what do
(33:45):
you make just you know, of the idea of what
Dave said that he didn't know if Roki could do
it two days out of three. I thought that seemed
a little weird, and why he opted to go the
srining route instead of just putting Sasaki out there that
mode through that lineup and Game one.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
I completely agree. He had to use Roki Sasaki anyway
twice in three days, So if he was concerned about that,
why did he bring him in in that do or
die situation? Roki should have started that inning or in
my opinion, Emt Sheehan could have finished the game. But
talking to some players guys, they were on board with
(34:23):
him going to try and him because at some point
you're going to have to use trin and you're going
to have to use Tanner Scott this postseason, and fortunately
the Dodgers found out what they did in that ninth
inning and won the game. Even with all that being said, So, look,
Dave Roberts is a loyal guy, but the reality is
(34:44):
Blake Trennon just hasn't had a good season. He's not
the same guy from a year ago. And you have
to imagine that last year's postseason run and how much
he was used. He threw more pitches in Game five
of the World Series last year than he ever had
thrown in any appearance long time in release. So you know,
I don't think Blake Trenny should be booed the way
(35:05):
he was. I'm I think Dodger fans need to give
him a little bit more grace considering he helped them
win the World Series last year. But certainly ninth inning,
I don't think you'll see that again.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Totally understandable that it wasn't brought up because the guy
you know, pitched his ass off in Game one. But again,
a rough go for Otani at the plate. Now he
does have the RBI singles, so that certainly helped in
a tight game. But kind of what do you seeing
Dave What do you make of the way that this
NLDS has gone compared to the Wild Card round for
Otani at the.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Plate, Yeah, it's weird. It just feels like sometimes this
happens with any hitter. Obviously the expectations are a lot
higher for him, but any hitter, sometimes you just are
not seeing the ball well, and unfortunately for him, it's
had a bad time in this series. I don't think
it's because he pitched Game one. I know the batting
(35:59):
average isn't what it usually is when he pitches, but
I just don't think he's seen the ball well out
of those lefties hands. It'll be interesting to see tomorrow
night coming out of the hand of Aaron Nola tomorrow night,
whether or not he picks up the baseball more than
he has against Sanchez and Lusardo. But I think, I
hate to say it, it's sometimes as simple as that
(36:20):
he's just not seen the ball well.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
David Vasse is our guest. He's at Dodger Stadium. He's
got Dodger Talk tonight at seven o'clock. Very exciting time
to be a Dodger fan, as they are up two
to zero in a five game series with the Phillies
headed perhaps to the NLCS. What kind of chance did
the Phillies have to turn this around? It would be
pretty epic meltdown by the boys in Blue if they did.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, the Phillies haven't hit a home run in this series.
And an interesting stat about Dodger Stadium, which used to
be a pitcher's ballpark but certainly has turned into a
hitters ballpark. And Bryce Harper even mentioned that in his
press conference today, how the ball flies out of Dodger Stadium. Now,
this season, there were eighty nine more home runs hit
(37:06):
in Dodger home games than in Dodger road games. And
that's from both sides, right, So I would expect to
see more balls go over the wall than what we
have seen in the past. So yeah, I would expect
more chances of a home run. And you know, the
Dodgers have only hit one home run ta Oscars big
(37:28):
home run. So yeah, these are two of the best
slugging teams in baseball, and we really haven't seen it
in the first two games. And Harper credited the great
pitching from both sides that have neutralized the hitters.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, daven you know, we look at Otani and we
see one for nine and it's like, oh yeah, I
could totally see that finishing four for thirteen and being
respectable coming out of it after you know, this game three.
But what about Harper, Turner and Schwarber. I mean, you
got the batting champ, the home run champ, and a
guy that's nearly top ten and ops in Harper and
they're two for ten twenty one. Is it as simple
(38:01):
as they certainly couldn't figure out Blake Snell and they
couldn't figure out Otani, Like what's going on with their
big three?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah, I mean let's start with Blake Snell. I kind
of told you guys about how good Snell's been against
this lineup. Yeah, and that proved out to be true
again last night. It was that same way when he
pitched seven innings against them in September. So it's not
a good matchup for them. And they were even telling
people that they just don't see the ball well out
of Snell's hand. That's a big part of it as well.
(38:32):
Everyone is the individual. And right now the Phillies have
got to be pressing because they've lost nine out of
their last eleven postseason games, and they're being reminded about
it at every.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Turnof tough to be at Philadelphia, Philly, and a lot
better to be a Dodger today. We'll see how it
plays out tomorrow. Dave Well listening on Dodger Talk, thank
you for spending a little time and have a great
show tonight and we'll see you tomorrow at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Okay, guys, thank you for the warning.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Thank you Dave. They did blow up the chicken Man
in Philly. You're swinging a vomit.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
He'll be back with Mark Petres and Money on A
five seventy LA Sports. We are your home of the Dodgers,
who are up two to oh in the NLDS.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's Rogan and Rondee
that one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David Vasse,
the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper Talk Without a Musk,
follow us all and many more. Just go to Am
five to seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Big thank you to DAVIDSSA out at Dodger Stadium. He
will have Dodger Talk tonight. We have one pair of
tickets for the game tomorrow. We're going to be out
there in our suite, wireless mics on the field, and
we suspect that it will be considerably, considerably more electric
(40:14):
of an atmosphere from a media standpoint than it was
for the wildcard round, which truly left us gobsmacked and
dumbfounded at how little attention was being paid to the
Dodgers and read series. But with the Dodgers up to nothing,
with Yamamoto on the mound, and with the opportunity to
punch a ticket to the NLCS, we suspect that all
(40:34):
the national folk going to be out there, all the
international media going to be out there, and it certainly
will be a hell of a broadcast for us. So
between now and the end of the show at seven pm,
we'll give away a pair of tickets to get you
into Dodger Stadium tomorrow for Game three and an opportunity
to wrap up this divisional round and punch their ticket
into the NLCS. Are we not talking about the Lebron thing.
(40:58):
I don't want to give it any pub I mean,
I don't think, although I guess the question is what
percentage of our audience if we talk about it, is
going to go out and buy what he's pushing. What's
he pushing? Have you? Yeah, we definitely don't want to
give it a click case. Let's not give it the
luxury of the view of that one. Don't want that. Well,
hopefully we can set up.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
It's the only reason we're not doing it is because
the Dodgers are in the playoffs, because if we had
just normal great sports stop going on.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
We're destroying him today over this, like we're going insane. Yes,
it's arguably, I think you can make a I think
you can make a pretty compelling case.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Rodney might even tweet us angry. Yeah, that's how mad
we would get that. The decision was the pivot point
in Lebron's career, not just going to the decision when
he went to Connecticut to tell Jim Gray that he
was leaving Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Taking his talents to South Beach to go to Miami. Yeah,
and letting down the Cleveland fan base, the state where
he was born. Just a kid from Acre in Ohio,
you know that whole thing. Yeah, whatever, I'm going not
to Miami to play for the heat in pat Riley.
But the way he worded it, I'm going to South
Beach was very uncomfortable, and from that moment, Lebron went
(42:12):
from being, you know, truly one of the most beloved
and it was hard to say anything bad about him.
He was trying to do it in Cleveland. He was
an unselfish player, he was doing it with a pretty
crappy supporting cast, and from that moment kind of villain
Lebron arrive so to harken back to it and to
do it, and it was just a publicity thing. Hennessy Konyak.
(42:34):
He answered the question with I'm taking my talents to
Hennessy VSOP. I don't know what that means. It's a
it's a it's a Cognac. Yeah, but I don't know
what I'm taking my talents promo. You're going to be
a Hennessy promotion. Oh, I guess that's what it was.
And it was it was not.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Didn't Hennessy uh sponsor his song that he did with
two Chains, don't know? I think they might. So he's
had a long unless it was Covasier, but he's had
a long long maybe with the cognac. Yeah, a long
love affair with cognac and wine. European wines mostly not
(43:14):
some most some California juice, but mostly Europeans.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Has been been a big whino in the last two years.
Remembers he and the Steve Nash podcast, or he and
the JJ Redick podcast for them drinking wine and talking ball.
So he's become a whino. Now he's a golfer and
he's a connak guy. Maybe you can't find you there.
Lebron and Peter did text me about that. Yes, me
(43:38):
as well. It's funny that he texted us individually as well.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
Well.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
What he'd say, Hello, hold on said, I heard you
guys were giving me the business. I love it. I
love you guys, he wrote.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
His neighbor Tom tracked him down.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
I hadn't been on for a while, my neighbor. You
made my daghbor's day yesterday. I was suited in going
to work. The guy came out of his house and
was loving me, getting crushed. I was honored. He's like,
you can tell they like you.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
But see, I think he sent us the same text separately. Yeah,
it looks copied and posted, and that's that's not cool.
Yes either, Geeter, but but yeah, so Lebron, Yeah, was
pitching Hennessy.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Because a lot of people thought like, maybe he was
gonna say he's going to retire at the end of
the year.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I had just assumed it was Amazon Prime because he
does stuff for Amazon and it's Prime Day today, and
so Kate's was the one to first sniff that out.
But we figured it was some stupid product pitch, and
the market for Laker tickets spiked last night before the
announcement of Some other people thought that it was going
to be a retirement announcement, and instead, like all of
(44:52):
his other dumbass stuff on social media these days, it
was just another commercial. I did like the one tweet though.
I think it was a female that zoomed in on
the dude sitting in the chair opposite Lebron that was like,
who's this guy? He was like, Yeah, I don't know
who this random dude is. Everybody know it's like some
(45:12):
kindly that's what it was, because but we didn't know
it was Hennessy's beforehand, and so everyone's like, yeah, we
know who Jim Gray is. Whatever you may think of him,
at least you know who he is. When he's sitting there,
it's like, who's this dude? Why is he sitting there
in a tweed coat. But yeah, it was, I mean
not out of character for Lebron. I guess somebody who
(45:34):
just doesn't really doesn't really read the room. Well, everybody's
expecting you to retire after this year, or at least say, hey,
this is my last year. I'm only going to play one.
More So when you do something like that, like I
don't know signing is a free agent with the Lakers
and saying you want to give everybody free Blaze pizza.
Come out to my location. I'll meet you there, and
(45:56):
then you don't show up. You just dust it even
acknowledged knowledge that you dusted it. That's very similar. A
lot of people thinking know this. I'm a big Lebron fan.
I hope he's not retiring. I can't wait to hear
what the decision is. He wants me to buy a
two hundred dollars bottle of con Yeah, got.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
It hard to like Verry. All right, we'll be back
with more Petro sand money. We'll have your word number
song of to day, Danny Canal. We'll talk some college
football with us. In the next hour. We'll whip around
the nation with our friend Danny Canal. We have some
local knowledge, something interesting with a lot of the big
events coming to town that a lot of people didn't
(46:37):
think about. A lot of baseball talk, quick hits, Dead
and Alive, Dodger talk coming up at seven. Thank you

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Look on me you Petro saying Money. AM five to
seventy LA Sports live everywhere, on the iHeartRadio app and
live in studio in Burbank is where we are. Four
hour show today from live in studio, And it's not
his fault. I just want an acknowledgement, that's all. I
just want to smile, want a head nod. It is
(01:10):
your home of the Dodgers, the World Series Champion Dodgers,
big victory yesterday, Little sketchy there in the ninth. Then
he we'll get into that today Tomorrow though, we'll be
at Dodgers Stadium, first pitch, six h eight pm from
the Gaping Motors broadcast booth. It'll be game three Yoshi
Yamamoto against Aaron Nola, and today between now and the
end of the show at seven pm, a full four
hour show. We do have a lot of giveaways. We
(01:31):
got one pair of tickets for tomorrow's game three, so
an opportunity for them to sweep the divisional round. Only
eight of twenty teams that have fallen behind zero two
and lost both home games have even forced a game four,
so perhaps you'll be there for a celebration. Certainly seems
(01:52):
like the Dodgers have the advantage in the pitching category,
the starting pitching category with Nola, who has not been
great on the road zero and six with a seventy
versus Yamamoto. But we will put you in the house
if you are the correct caller between now and seven pm.
Will let you know when to call one pair of
tickets to give away. And you said, pee, we have
a plethora uprising. We do.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We have bond Jovie tickets to give away sort of,
right Well, we have four pairs of tickets to an
iHeart album preview with John bon Jovie on Thursday at
the iHeart Theater here in Burdbank. John is going to
share exclusive first listen tracks from Forever, the Legendary Edition,
(02:32):
and backstory about the album. It's kind of like an
inside the actors studio with the musician. But people love
John bon Jovi out of New Jersey, I mean the absolutely.
I know the Dodgers are playing Philly right now and
all that, and he's a big Philly guy, but people
do love John bon Jovie.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You can maybe really give him the business on Thursday,
make it a miserable trip for him by wearing all
your Dodger get into there, you know, because he's a Phillies.
He's in Eagles, he's always doing the national anthem at
their games. Well, we do have four pair to give away. There,
we go four opportunities.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It didn't say you couldn't wear that in there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It might be a little insensitive, you know, he is
John bon Jovie. He's nice enough to come share stories
with you.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I think if bon Jovie got all bent out of
shape that people had Dodger gear on and an La
radio station that carries the Dodgers, then that's on bon Jove. Probably,
you know, he makes a lot of money off a
lot of people that aren't just Philly fans.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm guessing he's he's getting a pretty good bang for
his buck out of the folks at iHeart with the
Forever Legendary Edition album. Should We Open a Phones? What
is your favorite bon Jovi song?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
All?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I was talking to Tim Kats and he was one
two I only know living on a Prayer. I was like, no,
you don't, you know at least ten more bon Jovi?
What about Dead or Alive?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And he was like, oh yeah, I no, no. What
about bad medicine? Nope, you don't know bad medicine.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Your love is like bad medicine. Bad medicine is what
I need a shake it up. It's like bad medicine.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You don't know that, never heard of? What about you
give Love a bad name? Their first big hit.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Shot to the Hall and your too lame baby, you
give love a bad name.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I play my part and you play your game.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You give Love.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
A bad name? Okay, so I know three songs? Okay, yeah,
that's it. What about No.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, I don't know what you're doing. Okay, what about

Yeah, that's all I know with that song is that
that keyboard opening with that dude with the crazy hair.
We can't sing along with you, Todd. But hey, he

zobe fan. I mean, come on, this guy's attitude in
these little too cools. Can we legally take a prize

Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, we can't. I don't think at least sure we

Speaker 3 (09:25):
We're gonna have David Vay, David Vasse live from the
Dodger Workout is gonna be on next and we have
Dodger Talk tonight at seven o'clock with David Vasse, so
we'll have all the latest David vass Ben to work
back at three in the morning.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Well, Tim Kates did do Dodger Talk last night after
doing six to nine on Scam, did he right, Kates? Yeah,
I had Dodger Talk last Yeah, So Kate's does Dodger Talk.
Oh yeah, that's right after the game, and he's got
three hours of Scam and he's got to produce our
show from on for four hours, no sweat off our
back and we just started. But this is remember this
(10:04):
is kind of the time of year when you get
a Kate's DV showdown over who's working harder, over who's
burning da That's what I mean. Dave's on the road.
But Kate's is like, hey man, I'm up at four
every morning prepping a three hour morning show. I'm booking
guests all day. I got to work with these two
clowns in the afternoon, and then half the time I
(10:24):
got to do Dodger talk and then days oh yeah, well,
you know, Dave of course pushes back. I'm on the road,
I'm getting interviews, I'm doing Instagram lives, I'm doing interviews
for iHeart who Knows Where all the time in order
to be a good corporate partner. And I feel like
the two of them really whip it out and start measuring.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
It's still early, Matt. It's only the DS once we
get to the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I was thinking, like, I don't remember last year scam
going all the way through the World Series. That must
have knocked everybody out clean.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It was a month, the entire month of October last year.
Geez oh, Kate's was counting his money man. Every day
he was counting. It was a full month of a
daily you know, a daily payday.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I heard Damn Ruby had a two room suite at
Grand Canyon University.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I was going super big olds all day, all day. Yeah,
I forget that. I'm not even getting a half big gold.
You want a vente sert Damn right, I do. I've
been working scam all month. A five dollar tip. Cats
is the guy with the remember that when seven to
eleven sold that barrel that you could bring back into refill.
It was like ninety six ounces of soda. That's the
(11:33):
plan that you were on.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
At Chipotle, They're like, do you want avocado for three
p fifty sir? I said, gosh, Charlotte, I've been working
scam all month. Yeah, right, seven dollars worth of avocados. Right,
I'll take that quak on the side please.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
All right, So if you thought that was annoying, you're
not going to believe the way the people in Philadelphia
are reacting to the way that the now you know
it was a destiny.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You heard whatever everybody's been saying.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
The Dodgers were out there in Philly before the season ended,
and they beat the Dodgers and they clinched the division,
and I said something like, man.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
They cut them. They clinched the playoff spot here, I believe, right, Kates,
and they celebrated they didn't at Dodger Stadium, sprayed champagne
all over.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
So that's my bad corrections and retractions. I'm sorry. I'm toasted. Yeah,
they Pollutedium, right, they were here, so their studio show
was back in Philly and they did like I was
watching the Philly broadcast that they did like a cutaway
during the game, and I saw like the three or
four guys, and I'm sure they're all household names in
Philadelphia and very famous baseball players. I didn't see Chase
(12:44):
Utley or anything, but I saw them and I was
they were like and I was like, geez, they cut
away and those guys were wild. I remember saying that
on the show and you said something like, of course
it's Philly, what are your things? And it was like yeah,
but this was like they were really like the host
EPHN was like not like a polished host type. He
(13:05):
was more like a you know, like screaming gunnerily. And
then last night, uh, it went viral on Twitter that
the postgame show not the not the one guy I
sent you the Philly postgame showy. They were getting crazy
on each other about base running and about Castanos and
(13:26):
all that.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
My dad used to say, I don't care what he did.
I want to know what you did. And what Rob
Thompson did was not pinch run.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
He bunned with Scott when he could have pinched run.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Could not run the guy because he had to hold
on bad Vader could not run the bases, would.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Would have to let him walk.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
The second scores the man.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
He would have been done if he would have had
to run, He probably would.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Have wouldn't have had him run. But that's that's how
you gotta be thinking. Come on, and.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Then he starts clad loving him. Come on, I just like.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I was like, I cannot imagine John hard tongue with
the hardest tongue in all of media, clicking his tongue
and yelling at no mar and Jay Hare and Jay
Hare come on or Oral or the d train like
I don't. I I was just dumbfounded by I.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Was dumbfounded by the very beginning and the life lesson
he learned from his father. I was trying to follow
along with me.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
If you were in a fight and you're like, say,
the other guy punched me, and he said, I don't
care what the other guy did.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Used to say, I don't care what he did. I
want to know what you did.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, I got you. I guess I didn't know what
context that.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And then they I'll just start screaming, I have no
idea what they're talking about.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Was not Pinch run. He bunned with Scott when run.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
He could not have.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Pish run the guy because he had a hold on Vader.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, Darth Vader Vader. Oh, I was gonna say, Vader
can't run now with that helmet and that cloak and
that dress on.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Sorry, I'm sorry. Uh that really kind of set me
back a little bit. Uh yeah, you fired that off
to us last night. I found it wildly entertaining. I
was like geez, and then like somebody was even worse.
This is this is bad. I feel like we should
have like a disclaimer on this one before we let
this thing fire off. Why it's he's really annoying. This
(15:37):
guy's like, well listen here, you look who you're talking to.
You've done radio with me for twenty years. I'm just
like this, not like this at all?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
What a discreet what eighth disgrace.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You're not like this at all.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
You are so lucky. Who's this guy's name, Dave Roberts's bring.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
His name is huntervill Body, Billyson.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Hunter Body. I believe doesn't phi fanatic. You are so lucky.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Dave Roberts's brain dead because there's no reason to not
have Sasaki in the ninth inny Wood.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
He damn do.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But here's the thing. When the team is so stupid.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
And a manager on the other side does something that
should be fatal Fato that decision should have murdered the
Dodgers in Game two. It should have absolutely blown up
in his face.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean, yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Rob Thompson said, watch this. You want to see stupid.
I'll give you stupid. Give it up and down. All
the momentum in the world. It was crashing down. It
was crashing down all the Dodgers. They were letting it slip.
They were giving you a golden opportunity to get past stop.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait, I just want to say that.
I mean, we've done this for a living for twenty years.
It's not exactly rocket science, but that ain't it.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know like that, ain't it? Whatever? That is
what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Is this what people respond to this?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
If you guys are sticking this dead head local gig,
get a follow by lead and go dash itel Like,
I understand we've been in the same job for twenty
years and some might frown upon that and look down
on us. But it's a pretty good gig. Drive time
in Los Angeles. I feel like it's a pretty good gig.
But no, no, I don't think it's trying.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Move a rhino Nick Costianos over to third and give up.
And now it's dumb baseball. So you counter Dave Roberts's
dumb baseball, which some think dumb. How he Let me
be very clear, please, did you have the mean issue
(18:06):
with this team?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Trey Turner, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarver. Ye two for
twenty one. The main issue is.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
That boom two ol cout baby, let's see you give
it a swinging at trash, swinging at vomit.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait Now we did all come
up and enjoy Sam Kinnison's comedy, did we not?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah? But that was comedy. This is just the not
what this is. This is, this is ironic. I would
say this is the comic comedy.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Swinging at trash, swinging.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
At vomit, swinging at something that wasn't in the heart
of the meat and potatoes of the plane on a
two O coun smart baseball, bobo, here you go, gad.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
That right there. It's sarcasm that was very, very aggressive.
And there's something about the Philly people where they clap
yeah like they like they're mad.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Come on. And then there's smart baseball. Boomer.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
Here you go, kid, that's right here, kid, I wait
to go, Bud.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Good Stove going on quality baseball, winning baseball, winning playoff baseball.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Ain't that right? Boomber great Stove? Who's uh, forgive my
Philly ignorance. Who's Boomer? Is that Schwarber? I don't Schwarber.
Seems like boom ohs boom Yeah. I got you, Boomer,
I got you.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I mean, I know Matt gets a little angry sometimes
during the top story of the day, and he can
get angry incongruously because you.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Know it's I regret it almost immediately. Well, it's a
hard sport, you know, and it's hard to hit the ball. Say,
it's the hardest thing in all.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Them It was crashing down all the doggers.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
They were letting it slip.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
They were giving you a golden opportunity to get back
in the share.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Rash people watch that. Is he like popular? Or did
we just stumble upon this? You know, that's a great question,
Like is it? That's what I was trying to figure out,
Like is he I get Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I think? I still have the link you sent me
so I can. It's got two hundred and fifty six
thousand of youew okay, Well, I would say, but is
that because it went viral? Because because he screamed himself inside.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Out says he's a host of WIP Radio at Philadelphia.
He also worked for Bleacher Report.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
So I guess that's how it is. I mean, I
guess that's how we are reacting in the moment. If
you're a Philly type. Vomit, swinging it, vomit swinging at trash.
I believe was it. I think it was either Frank.
I think it was Frank Robinson that said, uh swinging again,
(21:05):
that hitting against Sandy Kofax was like eating soup with
a fork. So I think this is maybe as eloquent
as that was. This is sort of the Philly version.
I think you could have said all that stuff without,
you know, screaming.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Swinging at trash, swinging that vombit.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I mean, that's a pretty good clip. Yeah, that's it.
It's a good nugget you on earth there, and then
the craze clapping, Yeah, here you go, cad, right, you're kid,
wait to go.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
But good stuff, good good, high quality baseball, winning baseball,
winning playoff baseball.
Speaker 2 (21:45):

la rather listen to Matt? And I go, I'm a cowboy,

Speaker 10 (22:03):
Swinging at trash, swinging that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Vomit, wanting water. It was crashing down on it. Then
I walk these streets, was crashing down on the Dodgers.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
It slips were kidding you going an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
To get in the rash because I might not make
it back. I've been everywhere. Oh yeah, come on from

(26:01):
on AMPI seventy LA Sports known as the Real DV
at the Real DV on X. Thank you, Dave, and
thank you for joining us. We are so happy to
have you and welcome home.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Thank you. I'm out here at Dodger Stadium. The Phillies
are doing their part of their workout. They landed this
morning in Los Angeles or this afternoon in Los Angeles,
Bryce Harper. Everyday Trey taking batting practice out here. Bryce
Harper actually said he loves coming to Los Angeles. He
grew up a big Dodger fan in Las Vegas. He
(26:39):
actually was one of the players that showed up in
the press box on one of his visits to say
goodbye to Vincecully. And the Phillies are wearing their baby
Blues throwback seventies uniforms for these two games. The players
went to their manager and said, hey, we want to
wear these in LA So that's what they got on
(26:59):
and that's what you'll see tomorrow night, Dave.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Since we're starting Phillies, what's the idea behind Aaron Nola?
You look at the numbers and he's zero and six
with a seven era on the road this year. How
does that sort of jibe with the idea that the
Phillies are going up against Perhaps the guy you could
say is the ace of the Dodger staff and Yamamoto.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Hey, the Phillies beat writers and media where Pepper and
Rob Thompson about that just about a half hour ago
in the press conference room quizzing him on why Nola
is the guy and not Ranger Suarez, and his explanation
was that Nola was good in his last start and
he has more faith in him basically starting the game tomorrow.
(27:43):
Everybody's questioning this decision. Ranger Suarez will come out of
the bullpen for the Phillies at some point, but a
lot of the Philly media are asking the same question,
why isn't Ranger Suarez starting the game? And could it
be similar to their cloths? Are Joean Durant coming into
the first two games when it was mop up times?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
How upset were people? I mean, We've been playing some
clips from some Philly media and it's kind of hard
to imagine that they get that angry and that unhingt.
Speaker 10 (28:14):
Swinging that trash, swinging that vomit.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, do you find that all around the town, Dame?
I mean mostly you go around to town and it's
I mean, you know, it's not as crazy as we
would imagine or we would purport on radio or TV.
But do you get that vibe? I mean, are they
that insane?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Things change? The mood of that city changed. After the
Eagles lost their game to the Broncos on Sunday, I
was out just trying to get some dinner walking and
there were a lot of angry people out there, a
very uneasy city. I agree with you, unhinged city bed
sports weekend in Philadelphia with the Sillies losing both home
(28:58):
games and the Eagles making everybody sad on Sunday, So yeah,
it is a very uh it's weird how emotional and
how they allowed the mood of their day change over
one football game or one baseball game. I know the
East Coast is different, but it just seems a little
extreme to me. And after tomorrow night they're going to
(29:21):
be really sad when these baby Blues packing home back
to Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Is was Rob Thomas that bad? Well?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I mean he made some I don't everybody's second guessing
him on why he had stopt a left handed hitter
spunt in that situation. But look, it took a great
play by Mookie Bets and Max Months he to get
Castianos out. If he's there safe, nobody's second guessing him.
But a lot of people around baseball were also wondering
the same thing. Why would he have stot bunt in
(29:54):
that situation instead of just allowing him to try to
hit the ball to the right side or get a
fly ball in that situation. So right now, Rob Thompson
is under fire for the decision to have Aaron Nola
pitch tomorrow and also that decision to have stopped funt
in that situation. And also, guys, you know Joean Duran,
(30:15):
the game was on the line in the seventh inning
last night and he chose not to use them, try
to use them in a classic closer style. A lot
of people are wondering that as it was happening in
real time.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You mentioned a bunt, Dave, You're very close with Freddie.
He had a really cool elongated answer in the post
game about how that whole thing came together. You're with
this team all the time, Like, how hard is it
to execute that play? Do in fact they ever practice it?
Whose idea was it? Like give us everything you got
on it, because it certainly seems like the play of
(30:46):
the night.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah. Well, Number one, the Dodgers have not practiced it
since spring training. Number two, the last time they even
talked about it or executed it was when the Dodgers
were in Anaheim in the middle of the summer, and
it was Miguel Rojas that initiated that. And last night.
Mookie Betts told us after the game that he remembered
(31:09):
that play and that conversation, and as the Dodgers were
making the pitching change with Alex Vesia, Mooki Betts was
the one that came up with that idea and insisted
that they're going to bunt and we've got to execute
this wheel play. We've got to do the wheel play.
It was all Mookie Betts. It wasn't Dave Roberts, it
wasn't Miguel Rojas, it wasn't Max Munsey, but everybody was
(31:31):
on board. So credit Mookie Betts, who is in his
first full year playing the position at shortstop, that decided
that that game change in play needed to take place,
and it paid off. They executed it without Munsey's throw,
without Mookie selling it the way he did. That game
goes upside down.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And feels like something if the Dodgers go a lot
further that we will remember going forward as a pivotal moment.
David Vass is our guest. Rob Thompson, I'm sorry, I
thought it was the guy from Matchbox twenty who's gotten
into baseball.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
This three m al must be lonely, I.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Said, baby We've been doing a lot of singing here today, DAB.
A lot of people are very excited about the Dodgers
and you coming home. But one thing that's kind of
been lost with all the late game chaos is Blake
Snell's performance again and just how locked in that guy
is right now. I know it's near and dear to you,
(32:32):
but can you give us some perspective on what smell
Zilla's doing this postseason?
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Yeah, and again a lot of disrespect for what Blake
Snell did last night. He was outstanding because Luzardo was
outstanding and retired seventeen straight Dodgers. And without Blake Snell
pitching the way he did, the Dodgers don't win that game.
That stadium was just anticipating any little thing that could
(33:00):
allow them to erupt. And if he gives up a
run or two, that game is much different than a
scoreless tie going into the seventh inning last night, and
without him pitching the way he did, the Dodgers don't
win that game. And incredibly disrespectful. Only two questions in
that postgame press conference about a guy that pitched the
(33:21):
Dodgers to a game to win again.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, one hit six innings, no runs, like you said,
matching Lozardo pitch for pitch, allowing the Dodgers' bats to
wake up after Lozardo exited the game. Obviously they've you know,
the even though they won there, there are a lot
of questions about the idea behind not going to what
everybody thinks is their closer for the postseason in Sasaki. Ultimately,
he did have to save their ass. But what do
(33:45):
you make just you know, of the idea of what
Dave said that he didn't know if Roki could do
it two days out of three. I thought that seemed
a little weird, and why he opted to go the
srining route instead of just putting Sasaki out there that
mode through that lineup and Game one.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
I completely agree. He had to use Roki Sasaki anyway
twice in three days, So if he was concerned about that,
why did he bring him in in that do or
die situation? Roki should have started that inning or in
my opinion, Emt Sheehan could have finished the game. But
talking to some players guys, they were on board with
(34:23):
him going to try and him because at some point
you're going to have to use trin and you're going
to have to use Tanner Scott this postseason, and fortunately
the Dodgers found out what they did in that ninth
inning and won the game. Even with all that being said, So, look,
Dave Roberts is a loyal guy, but the reality is
(34:44):
Blake Trennon just hasn't had a good season. He's not
the same guy from a year ago. And you have
to imagine that last year's postseason run and how much
he was used. He threw more pitches in Game five
of the World Series last year than he ever had
thrown in any appearance long time in release. So you know,
I don't think Blake Trenny should be booed the way
(35:05):
he was. I'm I think Dodger fans need to give
him a little bit more grace considering he helped them
win the World Series last year. But certainly ninth inning,
I don't think you'll see that again.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Totally understandable that it wasn't brought up because the guy
you know, pitched his ass off in Game one. But again,
a rough go for Otani at the plate. Now he
does have the RBI singles, so that certainly helped in
a tight game. But kind of what do you seeing
Dave What do you make of the way that this
NLDS has gone compared to the Wild Card round for
Otani at the.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Plate, Yeah, it's weird. It just feels like sometimes this
happens with any hitter. Obviously the expectations are a lot
higher for him, but any hitter, sometimes you just are
not seeing the ball well, and unfortunately for him, it's
had a bad time in this series. I don't think
it's because he pitched Game one. I know the batting
(35:59):
average isn't what it usually is when he pitches, but
I just don't think he's seen the ball well out
of those lefties hands. It'll be interesting to see tomorrow
night coming out of the hand of Aaron Nola tomorrow night,
whether or not he picks up the baseball more than
he has against Sanchez and Lusardo. But I think, I
hate to say it, it's sometimes as simple as that
(36:20):
he's just not seen the ball well.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
David Vasse is our guest. He's at Dodger Stadium. He's
got Dodger Talk tonight at seven o'clock. Very exciting time
to be a Dodger fan, as they are up two
to zero in a five game series with the Phillies
headed perhaps to the NLCS. What kind of chance did
the Phillies have to turn this around? It would be
pretty epic meltdown by the boys in Blue if they did.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, the Phillies haven't hit a home run in this series.
And an interesting stat about Dodger Stadium, which used to
be a pitcher's ballpark but certainly has turned into a
hitters ballpark. And Bryce Harper even mentioned that in his
press conference today, how the ball flies out of Dodger Stadium. Now,
this season, there were eighty nine more home runs hit
(37:06):
in Dodger home games than in Dodger road games. And
that's from both sides, right, So I would expect to
see more balls go over the wall than what we
have seen in the past. So yeah, I would expect
more chances of a home run. And you know, the
Dodgers have only hit one home run ta Oscars big
(37:28):
home run. So yeah, these are two of the best
slugging teams in baseball, and we really haven't seen it
in the first two games. And Harper credited the great
pitching from both sides that have neutralized the hitters.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, daven you know, we look at Otani and we
see one for nine and it's like, oh yeah, I
could totally see that finishing four for thirteen and being
respectable coming out of it after you know, this game three.
But what about Harper, Turner and Schwarber. I mean, you
got the batting champ, the home run champ, and a
guy that's nearly top ten and ops in Harper and
they're two for ten twenty one. Is it as simple
(38:01):
as they certainly couldn't figure out Blake Snell and they
couldn't figure out Otani, Like what's going on with their
big three?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah, I mean let's start with Blake Snell. I kind
of told you guys about how good Snell's been against
this lineup. Yeah, and that proved out to be true
again last night. It was that same way when he
pitched seven innings against them in September. So it's not
a good matchup for them. And they were even telling
people that they just don't see the ball well out
of Snell's hand. That's a big part of it as well.
(38:32):
Everyone is the individual. And right now the Phillies have
got to be pressing because they've lost nine out of
their last eleven postseason games, and they're being reminded about
it at every.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Turnof tough to be at Philadelphia, Philly, and a lot
better to be a Dodger today. We'll see how it
plays out tomorrow. Dave Well listening on Dodger Talk, thank
you for spending a little time and have a great
show tonight and we'll see you tomorrow at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Okay, guys, thank you for the warning.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Thank you Dave. They did blow up the chicken Man
in Philly. You're swinging a vomit.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
He'll be back with Mark Petres and Money on A
five seventy LA Sports. We are your home of the Dodgers,
who are up two to oh in the NLDS.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's Rogan and Rondee
that one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with David Vasse,
the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper Talk Without a Musk,
follow us all and many more. Just go to Am
five to seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Big thank you to DAVIDSSA out at Dodger Stadium. He
will have Dodger Talk tonight. We have one pair of
tickets for the game tomorrow. We're going to be out
there in our suite, wireless mics on the field, and
we suspect that it will be considerably, considerably more electric
(40:14):
of an atmosphere from a media standpoint than it was
for the wildcard round, which truly left us gobsmacked and
dumbfounded at how little attention was being paid to the
Dodgers and read series. But with the Dodgers up to nothing,
with Yamamoto on the mound, and with the opportunity to
punch a ticket to the NLCS, we suspect that all
(40:34):
the national folk going to be out there, all the
international media going to be out there, and it certainly
will be a hell of a broadcast for us. So
between now and the end of the show at seven pm,
we'll give away a pair of tickets to get you
into Dodger Stadium tomorrow for Game three and an opportunity
to wrap up this divisional round and punch their ticket
into the NLCS. Are we not talking about the Lebron thing.
(40:58):
I don't want to give it any pub I mean,
I don't think, although I guess the question is what
percentage of our audience if we talk about it, is
going to go out and buy what he's pushing. What's
he pushing? Have you? Yeah, we definitely don't want to
give it a click case. Let's not give it the
luxury of the view of that one. Don't want that. Well,
hopefully we can set up.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
It's the only reason we're not doing it is because
the Dodgers are in the playoffs, because if we had
just normal great sports stop going on.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
We're destroying him today over this, like we're going insane. Yes,
it's arguably, I think you can make a I think
you can make a pretty compelling case.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Rodney might even tweet us angry. Yeah, that's how mad
we would get that. The decision was the pivot point
in Lebron's career, not just going to the decision when
he went to Connecticut to tell Jim Gray that he
was leaving Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Taking his talents to South Beach to go to Miami. Yeah,
and letting down the Cleveland fan base, the state where
he was born. Just a kid from Acre in Ohio,
you know that whole thing. Yeah, whatever, I'm going not
to Miami to play for the heat in pat Riley.
But the way he worded it, I'm going to South
Beach was very uncomfortable, and from that moment, Lebron went
(42:12):
from being, you know, truly one of the most beloved
and it was hard to say anything bad about him.
He was trying to do it in Cleveland. He was
an unselfish player, he was doing it with a pretty
crappy supporting cast, and from that moment kind of villain
Lebron arrive so to harken back to it and to
do it, and it was just a publicity thing. Hennessy Konyak.
(42:34):
He answered the question with I'm taking my talents to
Hennessy VSOP. I don't know what that means. It's a
it's a it's a Cognac. Yeah, but I don't know
what I'm taking my talents promo. You're going to be
a Hennessy promotion. Oh, I guess that's what it was.
And it was it was not.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Didn't Hennessy uh sponsor his song that he did with
two Chains, don't know? I think they might. So he's
had a long unless it was Covasier, but he's had
a long long maybe with the cognac. Yeah, a long
love affair with cognac and wine. European wines mostly not
(43:14):
some most some California juice, but mostly Europeans.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Has been been a big whino in the last two years.
Remembers he and the Steve Nash podcast, or he and
the JJ Redick podcast for them drinking wine and talking ball.
So he's become a whino. Now he's a golfer and
he's a connak guy. Maybe you can't find you there.
Lebron and Peter did text me about that. Yes, me
(43:38):
as well. It's funny that he texted us individually as well.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
Well.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
What he'd say, Hello, hold on said, I heard you
guys were giving me the business. I love it. I
love you guys, he wrote.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
His neighbor Tom tracked him down.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
I hadn't been on for a while, my neighbor. You
made my daghbor's day yesterday. I was suited in going
to work. The guy came out of his house and
was loving me, getting crushed. I was honored. He's like,
you can tell they like you.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
But see, I think he sent us the same text separately. Yeah,
it looks copied and posted, and that's that's not cool.
Yes either, Geeter, but but yeah, so Lebron, Yeah, was
pitching Hennessy.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Because a lot of people thought like, maybe he was
gonna say he's going to retire at the end of
the year.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I had just assumed it was Amazon Prime because he
does stuff for Amazon and it's Prime Day today, and
so Kate's was the one to first sniff that out.
But we figured it was some stupid product pitch, and
the market for Laker tickets spiked last night before the
announcement of Some other people thought that it was going
to be a retirement announcement, and instead, like all of
(44:52):
his other dumbass stuff on social media these days, it
was just another commercial. I did like the one tweet though.
I think it was a female that zoomed in on
the dude sitting in the chair opposite Lebron that was like,
who's this guy? He was like, Yeah, I don't know
who this random dude is. Everybody know it's like some
(45:12):
kindly that's what it was, because but we didn't know
it was Hennessy's beforehand, and so everyone's like, yeah, we
know who Jim Gray is. Whatever you may think of him,
at least you know who he is. When he's sitting there,
it's like, who's this dude? Why is he sitting there
in a tweed coat. But yeah, it was, I mean
not out of character for Lebron. I guess somebody who
(45:34):
just doesn't really doesn't really read the room. Well, everybody's
expecting you to retire after this year, or at least say, hey,
this is my last year. I'm only going to play one.
More So when you do something like that, like I
don't know signing is a free agent with the Lakers
and saying you want to give everybody free Blaze pizza.
Come out to my location. I'll meet you there, and
(45:56):
then you don't show up. You just dust it even
acknowledged knowledge that you dusted it. That's very similar. A
lot of people thinking know this. I'm a big Lebron fan.
I hope he's not retiring. I can't wait to hear
what the decision is. He wants me to buy a
two hundred dollars bottle of con Yeah, got.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
