No need to hurry, no need to sparkle, no need
to be anyone but oneself.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Let's trust some money handfin seventy Early Sports were live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and live at dot Stadium
again for Game four.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It is the home of the Dodgers or World Series Champion.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Dodgers have been that for the better part of a
decade and a half, nearly two decades, and the Dodgers
trying to repeat his World Series champion big victory last night.
You heard it right here on five seventy LA Sports
and the Gaalping Motors broadcast booth. Same situation tonight, same
schedule of four o'clock, Dodgers on deck pee a five
o'clock first pitch, and down here on the field, we
await the arrival of one Will kleinb hero from last
(01:27):
night's game.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Four innings, seventy two pitches.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
He's gonna join us straight out of the gate here
as soon as he's finished with some other media duties.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, we didn't know whether we should go down or
stay up, or if Kate should go down or stay up.
We didn't know if we could get down in time.
To start the show because we share microphones with Rogan
and Rodney, and the one day we wanted them to
be done early, the one day we needed a little
time to get down there, they decided to go a
(01:54):
little late, and we took that personally. Yeah, well we're
like Michael Jordan. We take everything personally true. From the
field of the work site, Strauss powers our World Series
coverage on a five seventy LA Sports. Strauss is making
history as the first brand ever featured on a professional
baseball helmet, and it's on all of them, family owned,
trusted worldwide, Strauss dot Com and Matt We got like
(02:18):
an extra two and a half hours of Straussing last
night with the extra innings and all the extra fanfare
and all the extra baseball that everybody got for free.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But look that Dodgers are back out at work.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Freddie Freeman at first base picking it, Max Munsey at
third earlier doing the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
His Dodger team is hungry. Bouiyambre, a lot of man.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Exactly right p right in front of us where we
always stand pregame. Chris Woodward working with Hay Song Kim
right now. Dino Ebel out there, you mentioned Freddie was
going through his reps earlier. Right now, Max Munsey, And yeah,
there's one side of the field.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oral Herscheizer right there on the first place line, and
Oral Herscheiser is thrown out the first pitch that tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
How about that.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
There's a number of media members, I will say.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Much less than yesterday though. Man, Yeah, you know what
it is, pe They aren't.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
They are not acquainted with the onset of Santa Anna's
and the high temperatures that come prior to those winds
blowing through. So they have sought shelter in the dodger,
dugout shelter from the storm. Yes, they are sheltering from
the sun and sitting in the shade. I'm looking at
a number of different shows microphones in front of them
getting after it. Our friend Jim Bowden, who's in there
(03:30):
chatting for MLB Radio. I see the ESPN crew all
taking shelter from the beating hot sun.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Bowden's partner, Well, I understand he's got that two toned
hair because he doesn't want to upset.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I got to protect that floor. Sweatsuit gets a little hot.
I think he took exception to your calling it there.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
He might have, but you know, I took exception of
Roman and Rodney going late. So there's a lot of
people that have but heard around town. I take exception
to your exception. Tim Kates had Bowden's partner on, the
guy that used to play for the Giants, the radio guy,
I forget his name, but yeah, Kevin Friends and he
came on with Tim Katz and he did say as
(04:08):
a guy that covers a lot of baseball and a
guy who's been at Dodger Stadium for a bunch of
playoff games. As we saw Bowden earlier in his Belore
a couple series ago, he said that it's the most
chaotic last night that he ever saw Dodger Stadium. And
you and I were commenting on it. The people that
we know that were at the game, people that get tired,
(04:31):
people that get old, people that get a little bit
bickery late at night, they all stayed for the whole game.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He was a podcast spread Rogan. It was impressive. Stayed
for the whole game.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Everybody glued to their seat, realizing that they were witnessing
something special, even when the evening wore thin.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Matt and it did wear thin, indeed it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Did, and whatever, I'll find a different number of the day.
But I was gonna point out that even the oft
sided celebrity fans and the negativity that has sent their direction,
they all stayed Magic Johnson, Bateman, all them dudes were
here through all eighteen innings. I saw Dan Henley posting
videos of himself right behind the Dodger dugout.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And did you see what social media Matt dugout? Social
media Matt like blew up on all the gossip sites,
blew up and everything because he had Justin Bieber walking
through the dugout club area with his Toronto Blue Jay's
shirt and then our jersey, and he went and sat
right down next to Madison Beer and Justin Herbert and
(05:32):
dapped him up and watched a bunch of the game
and clandestinely from the AM five to seventy LA Sports
Ben Scully Sweet brought to you by Strauss, our guy.
Social media Matt had eyes on his super strong iPhone
camera on that and it blew up everywhere. He sent
it to kiss FM. He sent it and then kiss
(05:53):
FM blew it up everywhere. And how much credit is
he going to get from the powers that be?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Will say be in a very baseball white fashion. He
did get a smack on his ass and a good
job buddy, Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, had a boy. Yeah we'll take that.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Actually he got he got a chance to be in
a raffle the gift card.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He got two extra entries to win a gift card.
That's what he ended up.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
But I was, I was level up, as you know. Yeah,
the level up sticker is awesome. That makes me feel
like I'm really doing a great job. Hey, we got
more than forty thousand views on this thing, level up,
level Up. But overall, Matt, I have to say, I
took to heart what what's that guy's name, Kevin Franzia, Yeah, Franzia.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Exactly the box wine, the box of wine, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
And I took to heart what he said this morning.
As a baseball guy who played for the Giants, who's
been here a thousand times, he said that it was
the craziest he's ever seen Dodger Stadium. And Matt, we've
been through a lot of World Series now, and it's
when we were talking to Brad Paisley yesterday, it's hard
not to take it for granted how good this baseball
franchise is, how high performing they are and how much
(07:11):
they expect to be in these situations. But I have
to say it was I think and we remember the
grabbing hands when the Dodgers were first in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What was that twenty seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, everybody's freaking out about the apparel and have something
that said the World Series on it.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Oh, yeah, that's right. There were fights and I remember, yeah,
the clubhouse and not the clubhouse stores, right, And I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
If that's happening this time around.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I can only assume you very adroitly pointed out back
then eight years ago that you could buy all of.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
This stuff on locks log on.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You're good and you don't have to wait in line
and fight with somebody from La Crasenna. But either way,
we remember that, and that was back when we were
set up in a different place. But just to get
out of the stadium, to walk out of the stadium
with the human traffic just up on the top deck
and in the reserve level was absolutely I mean, it
(08:11):
was just.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That was mayhem nostrils to rear end.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Well.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I was talking to Social Matt before we hit the air,
and obviously he had to post all the videos post games.
So game ends just shy of midnight, right like eleven
fifty six or something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Before the clock strikes ridden up.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
By the time he was done with all of that,
it was one thirty PM or one thirty am, pardon me,
one thirty am. So he does not walk out of
Dodger Stadium until one thirty am.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He said.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
It took him an hour to get out of the
parking lot. Still, that's how many people stayed.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, everybody had hung around. Everybody felt the given a
cup to them. Impact of the moment, and last night
was certainly a moment. And even if there are people
Matt hiding in the dugout down there from the merciless
sheltered from the sun, merciless rays of the pre Santa
Anna sunlight.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
They can't take what we can take. It's still you have.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To admit, and I have a no leg to stand
on because I'm standing up here, but you have to admit, Matt,
that it is more subdued yesterday. At this time yesterday,
it was a much different vibe down there, a much
different media scrum down there. And as always, the Dodgers
are out early, working out. Despite the late nature of
(09:26):
the evening. Mookie Betts is back out there on his
hands and knees. Here he comes doing his shortstop drills.
And guess who's coming over here. He's a tall drink
of water pee his rabbinical beer. Oh, it's a beautiful beard.
He's a tall drink of water. He's like six four,
He's a very large individual.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, I'm up.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Here because we didn't know when you were gonna come over.
Straight out of Eastern Illinois, out of Bloomington, Indiana, Matt
a place you know, well, oh exactly. We saw him
earlier in the season. He's been on three different teams
this season and waking up yesterday morning. Who knows if
he knew that he would end up being a World
Series hero for these Los Angeles Dodgers. It is joining
(10:07):
us on your Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity hotline, Will
Klin on the Petros and Money Show. What's cracking?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Will?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I'm good? How are you guys?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Thanks for having me kidding me. We're talking to Will Klin.
We're freaking great. How we are now?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Did that bearded head hit the pillow at all last
night or did you just stay up answering texts. What
a wonderful night for you and your family. Congratulations, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So what did you do? Did you stay up all night?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think I ended up falling asleep maybe around three o'clock.
I had like five hundred plus messages to go through,
and I tried to get through as many as I
could and respond to friends and family and stuff. But
I went through him and my wife kind of sat
there trying to take it in after. And I don't
think the drones worn off yet.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I mean, you're on the roster.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I mean you know that at a certain point you're
probably going to appear in World Series games, and you're
with this team. But when you envisions off as an athlete,
you envisioned something good happening for yourself. Could you have
ever imagined what unfurled last night was gonna unfurl for
you and this team?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
No, not at all. I said yesterday. I don't think
I could have, you know, had a better dream or
pictured a better outcome for at any point in my career, really,
you know, And so just being able to go out
there and you know, do do what I didn't give
our team that chance get Fred of that chance, like
I think we all knew he would was just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
When's the last time you threw seventy pitches in a game?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Think I think it was my junior year of college
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So what did what did it feel like? Like?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
What you know, because you're a dude that throws gas,
so I would assume that's going to affect.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But lastly, it didn't seem like it.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
But kind of what does it feel like when you're
when you're taking up and you're going back out there
for a fourth?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Any Yeah, I just think the adrenaline helped me stay
in it. You know, I got a little more out
of myself there, but just being able to find, you know,
that that last little uh bit of energy in myself
and you know, stay in it, keep going, not not
let us slip away there, And like I think you
see it with with those last two pitches, uh yeah,
you know, and Will call that last curve ball kind
(12:08):
of like really gave me the energy I needed there.
So I couldn't tell you, but it just kind of happened.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Speaking of energy, was Will Smith looking like he was
gonna fall over when when he came up to congratulate.
I mean, it had to not be an easy situation
of catching eighteen innings. What were those guys looking like?
And when you looked in their eyes when you kept
coming into the dugout, what did you see.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I've never I've never seen a catcher go eighteen innings
and and look as energized as as he was, you know,
like I mean that that's why he's the starting catcher
for Los Angeles Daughters. Like no one else could have
could have done what he did yesterday, and just he's
gonna go out and do it again today, you know,
hopefully it's not eighteen innings. But you know, everyone like
I don't know, I don't know. Everyone just stayed in
it yesterday, Like you could hear the energy from our
(12:54):
dugout every yet bad, every pitch, you know, second of
the game, like they were in it. And I think
that helps the guys on the field stay in it too.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Will when you when you get the strikeout, you know,
anybody in the stadium can't hear you because they're all yelling.
We can't hear you on TV. You're not miked up,
but it looked like you really gave out a primal scream.
Now if it is your everyday voice, it's a beautiful voice.
Did you blow out your voice when you signed a
little bit horse? Right now as we're talking to you.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I think I blew up my voice Before I even
started pitching, I was. I mean we hit we hit
what two or three home runs? Before every time we
scored a run, I was yelling and jumping around, and
you know, and so even before I went out there
is getting scratchy. And then yeah, each I think I
yelled at every inning, you know, because I didn't know
when it would when it would be the last one,
and just like getting the zero and giving our chance
(13:40):
to go back out and win the game the next
like that was just such a great feeling that you know,
you have to let something out each time, and the
last one definitely like did some damage.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, I looked like it.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
When did you start getting loose? Like what what was
your are you doing it in the eighth inn? He not?
Like when do you start kind of moving around? And
how often did you have to get up and start
moving around?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I think I started doing like my normal stuff like
round the you know, the fifth or sixth, just you
never know what will happen. Obviously, it took a couple
more innings to get there, but every couple innings or
so do it again. Did bands probably four times yesterday
through some plios. But just like whatever I could do
to like stay in it and stay like ready and loose.
(14:19):
I think I had, you know, two energy drinks, so yeah,
the big ones, I think theyre reach like two hundred plus,
but you know that that helped, and just yeah, just
moving around pretty much the whole game.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
We know a little bit about your history because we
have a former intern on this show that used to
coach at Eastern Illinois, and we heard, just like Kenley Jansen,
you started out your amateur career as a catcher.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Why'd they move you to pitcher? And now look at you? Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I was a catcher in high school. I was varsity
catcher parts of sophomore and then junior year, and then
my senior year actually broke my right thumb, so I
couldn't I was pretty useless as a catch or that point,
and I could still like try to throw. So I
moved more so to like d H and like sometimes
outfield it's the worst outfield you've ever seen. But then
as that healed and I hadn't been catching, I moved
(15:10):
like focused more on pitching, and then I was mainly
a pitcher, and summer ball stuck because I knew that's
where I would go to college because I was not
a good hitter. But yeah, I just made that made
that transition a little easier, just having gotten the experience
and in summer ball and stuff. And then you know, Eastern
Illinois reached out as a pitcher I think after my
junior like during my junior summer, and so that that
(15:32):
kind of made the decision really easy.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
What what's the conversation like after two innings, after three innings?
Like what are are you taking? Are you telling Doc
you're fine? Is he asking you?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What is that? What's going on there?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
The conversation is keep going, keep going.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Because we saw Yamamoto warming in the pan for for
potential any nineteen? Were you gonna go back out different nineteen?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
No? No, I think I think that was Yama's game
from then on. I don't. Yeah, I was. I was
told I was done, and I think he would have
been in the game, which would have been terrifying but
really cool to see. That's I mean he's a different beast.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well, you've been a few different places. I mean you've
been three different places this year. Well, and it's so
cool to see this happen for you and your family
and for the organization to have you there in that
moment and all the stars aligned.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
How different is this Dodger.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Team compared to some other organizations that you've been with.
Is it different? Is it special? Or is it a
plug in play? How does it work?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, I mean I think you can see, especially with
how everyone grinded out yesterday's it's a special team. And
I mean I enjoyed my time with the Royals. They
drafted me, and I spent a lot of time with
the guys in that organization, and you know, a lot
of good people over there, and I love the guys there.
And then you know, I spent some I spent less
time with Days and the Maryors obviously, but there are
a lot of good people on those guys and on
(16:57):
those teams and good players. But I think you just
just see it when you have when you intentionally walk show. Hey,
and now you have to face former VP Mookie Betts
or he E's out, and then you gotta face former
world Series and would be Freddy Freeman or then Will
Smith or tayl or Max Mounts. You're however, many like
other guys you want to name that can go and
(17:19):
win the game for themselves. It's just like there's never
a free out with this team, you know, and so
it's and then same thing with the pitching staff. I
could you could say we have five asses on the
team and then like there's been talks about the bullpend
whole year, but I think you saw yesterday what it's
really about when you know, when when it's needed, and
just every one of this team is willing to win,
to grind their butts off to get a win.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
You know, we're on the field, it's game for the
World Series. And we know you've been asked a lot
of these same questions, and so we appreciate you entertaining us.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's why his voice is so blown out right.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
One thing that the Petrosen Money Show does better than
anybody else just talk directional university sports. So if we
may engage here a little Panthers, leathernecks, Selukis Huskies, those
evil cardinals of Illinois State.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Like what was the great rivalry?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Was it? Where the Sycamores involved at all. Like, let's
take us through your amateur career and who was the
most Was it the LEATHERNX who was the most hated
of all the directional universities that you took on?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, I don't think we ever played the leather Neck. No,
I don't think we played the Huskies up. Oh no, No,
I think we obviously we played the Seluki's probably played
SIUV as well, but SIUI was the only one of
those that were in our conference, okay, because I think
we were the further northernmost team in our conference. So yeah,
SIU E didn't really like them very much. Played Illinois State.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You just don't like.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Anybody you play against, you know, exactly right, I didn't
like Tennessee Tech very much.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You know, nobody likes Tennessee Tech.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Exactly ever heard of them? They won sixty games though
in twenty nineteen twenty they made it to the super
Regional that year. Yeah, they were at that. Yeah, I
think they lost to ol Texas text saying I'm aware,
but yeah, that was a team that was terrible play against.
But that's s i U is probably at least favorite
out of the.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Directional and he was in the Quad Cities too.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, come on, and we love the question so import forever.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Got gotta know there wasn't There was a Dodger reliever
many years ago named Eric Ganie who also had a
very very distinctive beard, and they used to sell shirts
here with like the beard coming out of the chin,
like like like you know, I'm sure that something like
that is going to happen. I hope great things we
(19:35):
all have, great things are in the future for you. Will.
What a great night and what a special special thing
to watch for all of the Dodger fans and baseball
fans everywhere. Congratulations on your success. And here's the success
the rest of the World Series.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, let's let's finish this thing off. Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
There we go. Appreciate it. Will all right, big dude pee, Yeah,
he's big. I can see.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
And he's rocking the the Otani Goat shirt. I think
Rode Aware needs to get something going for Will climb right.
Just a beard, yeah, beard, the rabbinical beard.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, and you know he used to be a catcher,
but towers over former catcher Tim Kats Indeed. Yeah, yes,
I'll see if baseball in ninety six.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
The TMS photoshop banded doing a bang up job of
throwing Kate's face on the five foot seven, two hundred
and thirty pound Alejandro Kirk.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh No, that was one of the better photos that
I mean, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The one thing that kind of bugs me about the
Kirk thing, it's like every single time anybody talks to
him on scam or about him in the in the booth,
John Smoltz, Joe Davis, they every single time, Yeah, you know,
he just he doesn't look the part. Uh yeah, you know,
look at that body. I mean, he's two hundred and thirty.
He's only five. So it's like, can you not mention
(20:46):
how fatt he is every single time? Can we just
skip one over and then bring I mean, because guy's
obviously pretty great?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So what do we want to do next? Should I
take the break and then Dave's going to join us
from down there? Yes? All right, I'll come down.
Speaker 4 (21:00):

dot com. Dave, what's cracking?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
How are you? I'm feeling good.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I was just telling Matt we had a full border
calls until two am on Dodger Talk. I was thinking
about taking it all the way to five point fifty
five am and tossing it to Sax and Kate's this
morning because there was a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
A last handoff, my man, what a great handoff. Stay
on all day.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Nobody needs to hear the overnight forget about coast to coast.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
You know who had Fomo That player hater himself been
a text to me. He's like, oh, you're taking my
airtime away, overnight airtime.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh poor Mallard. It's like once in a lifetime game
dead Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Just take it easy. Yeah. Sorry.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
You could talk about the commanders and chiefs tonight and
everybody in La Care.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So you've done a lot of these, Dave. I mean
dating all the way back to twenty seventeen when way
we were here and it was all new and everybody
was scrambling over the apparel.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Where does last night rank? I mean last series?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Otani has the greatest performance individually of any baseball player
in a playoff game. And now what we're watching is
just crazy. I mean, how does this keep on happening,
these reoccurring historic events.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Well, I never thought I would live through another eighteen
inning World Series game. I literally never thought that would
happen again. Maximunthsy ended that one against the Red Sox,
and it was different circumstances.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I agree that one. I was like's just get this
over with.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Yeah, there was a little bit more traffic, but it
comes down to the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
If you want to be real about it.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Why it goes eighteen innings Because guys now are built
to try to swing for home runs. Nobody needed to
do that. That game could have ended a lot sooner
than it did. Everybody was trying to be a hero.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Now, does somebody say something because I heard that on
the radio broadcast being said, like all these guys are
just swinging, Well, it's true, and they were saying it
on the TV broadcast Joe Davis and Smaltz, does does
Dave Roberts.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Like, like one of those guys say, guys like a football.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Game, Like we get everybody together and say, hey, guys,
shorten the swings. Does that happen in baseball? Or they
just keep sending everybody out there.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
That would have been a great game plan to huddle
everybody in the dugout. I know Nomar would have led
that huddle to try not to swing for the fences.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I hate to bring football references into every single interview reference.
He's stupid though I can't really do anything. I don't
as a kicker, he could appreciate that. At Bosco True
Story and Georgia Tech wanted his.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Like did they? Yeah, we did.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Sponsored by the varsity. Nomarciaparts he doesn't do kickoffs. He
does extra points and short field goals. We got a
long guy that does the kickoffs, and we got a
long field goal guy.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
But that's the reason why in twenty eighteen, in Game three,
it took eighteen innings. That's why it took eighteen innings
last night because somebody eventually was going to hit a
home run. The mere fact is the Dodgers had more
guys in their line up capable of being the hero
and of course Freddie Freeman, one of the best, if
not the best hitter fundamentally sound in the game today,
(26:27):
was not trying to hit a home run. His swing
was getting better each of his last two at bats,
and that was the result of him just being a
good hitter.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
That the you know, I guess if you want to
call it a negative side of it, positive side is
it's the most impattive President.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Of the Hall of Fame wants a little snick long
good list game over here. He wants to stick that. Hey,
what did you grab from Freddy Freeman last night? Josh
raw Which what's going to Cooperstown tomorrow? We've got a
lot of things that were working on, nothing finalized.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, okay, some seeds.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
We might have to get David Vessey's shirt from last
night's game.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Not a bad idea. Don't look for Maithsonian already came
and took it.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Don't look for any photos Johnson, who took all of
them of Lauren Shahati and Freddie Hay.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But Dave.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
The positive is, I don't think there's a more embattled
unit in the postseason of any team than the Dodger
Bulpe and they're the star of the show. They're the
ones that kept this thing scoreless after glass Now left,
or I guess the one run from trinin that put
him in a position to win. I would assume, even
though they're dead ass tired, that's got to be pretty
damn good for a team that's just heard about how
(27:28):
bad they are.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, and look, Blake Trinon is the guy that Dave
Roberts still remembers last year being a hero. But in
the here and now, he's been redline going back to
last year and he just hasn't been the same guy.
So it's ironic that the one guy that kind of
had a hiccup was Blake Trianon. But the no names
of Justin Robleski and Will Kliney. When I say no names,
(27:51):
across America, nobody knows who Justin Robert I.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Didn't know who Will klein was.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Yeah, So you know that's the ironic part of this.
And the first guy I saw when I went back
up to the booth to host the postgame show Dodger
Talk was John Smoltz and immediately told me I was
so happy for Clayton Kershaw. That's the guy I wanted
to get out of that bass's loaded jam. Nathan Lucas
basses loaded. They bring him in to face him because
(28:16):
of the false narrative to a certain extent of his
postseason resume, and he would have heard it, and this
is his last dance.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It would have.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Really crushed and took a lot out of this whole
season if Pershaw doesn't find a way to get the
Dodgers out of that twelve inning jam. But you know,
it says a lot that a Hall of Famer like
John Smoltz is thinking about that one guy, considering everything
that happened eighteen innings.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
We just talked to him. How much interaction have you
had with Will Klein? A lot.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
That's why you invest in everybody, not just Mookie Beds
and Freddie Freeman. This guy has had a long road
to get to where he's at right now. He had
a live arm in spring training. The skinner report on
him was he had a hard time throwing stre which
he did and that's the reason why he got sent
down during the season. But he put in a lot
of work and found a way to throw hard but
(29:07):
also throw strikes. And I know coming into the postseason,
there were a lot of coaches, including Connor McGuinness, the
assistant pitching coach that was pushing for Will Klein to
be on the postseason roster. And the reality is, unfortunately,
if Alex Vessia doesn't have his family situation, we very
well may not have seen Will Klein last night. He's
(29:30):
on this roster because Alex Vesia is off it. She
likes to interrupt, you know, she doesn't like people getting attention.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Dave the going back to going back to Kershaw, and
you know what you said about Smoltz, And I'm sure
you had a feed of the TV broadcast. They had
cameras obviously trained on his wife, Allen, and you could
see just how emotional she was, completely overcome with emotion,
did it? It felt like that wasn't just Smoltz, And
that was the all of Dodger's datum, Like, if we
can only have one thing, can it please be this
(29:59):
guy getting fish out?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
One hundred matt fifty thousand fans had the same feelings,
maybe not to that extreme of Ellen Kershaw, because you
don't want to see a Larry Holmes's type of situation, right,
You want to see a guy go out and do well,
and look, the reality is you may see Clayton Kershaw.
There's a very good chance actually that you are going
(30:21):
to see Kershaw in this game tonight because shoe Heotani
when he stole second base and was thrown out. From
what I was told, that's when he started to feel cramps.
And look, it's a warm day. The Dodger training staff
started the hydration process.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Last night on his way home.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yeah, so he's starting game four seventeen hours after the
final out last night, and he's got to go out there.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
So that's the reason why.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
With a thin bullpen and Kershaw only having faced one guy,
one guy, what.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
He's going to eat Dallas? Oh yeah, you'll see twenty
two on the Mounta today. Oh no, that is amazing.
That's my prediction. Well, what are you think about the
lineup being the same day?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I hate it. I hate it. Come on call.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Look, if Tommy Edmond can play six innings of extra
innings in center field, there's no reason why he can't
play center field today at Dodgers Stadium. From what I
was told, he came in and he's feeling good. That
right ankle, that right foot's feeling good. Look, Andy pa
haz was on base or had four innings where he
(31:25):
led off. He continued his postseason struggles where he still
hasn't drawn a walk.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
He has four hits and almost fifty at bats. That's
not what you want out of your ninth spot.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Miguel Rojas at second base, Tommy Edmond in center field
is what I was looking at today.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But obviously Dave Roberts feels differently.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
What about just if you and I'm just playing devil's
advocate here, did you feel like the at bats got
better at least, you know, in that two hole he
fights back to three and two like that. I'm trying
to figure out what they're thinking and what the takeaway is.
Did they see something in the at bats where they're like,
you know what, maybe he saw it a little bit
better as the game went on, and that's why they're
putting him back out there, because I'm I thought the
same thing last night halfway through the game, like, can
(32:07):
you get someone on base in front of Otani so
they can't intentionally walk them all over and over and
over again.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Well, even in the first nine innings, the two doubles,
the two home runs, they wouldn't have been game tying.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
They would have been two run, go ahead doubles. Yeah,
two run home runs.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
And remember last year in the World Series, it was
Gavin Lux hitting ninth that turned the lineup over to
allow Freddy Freeman to come up with the bases loaded
in Game five to allow the Dodgers to come back
against the Yankees. That's what they need out of that
ninth spot, and Andy pa has not only has not
given it to them in the first three games of
(32:43):
the World Series, he hasn't given it to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
All postseason long.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
And the only thing I could think of is Dave
Roberts wants better defense in center field, and he still
feels that Tommy Edmund may be a little limited in
center That's the only thing I could think of. But
midway through this game, there's no reason why if Paz
is not doing well, he should be out of this game.
But you know, I'm a big advocate for Miguel Roja
(33:09):
sitting ninth and Tommy Edmund playing center field.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Dave, it's hot, but you're in black jeans. You're not
even flustered. You were up all night last night and
you seem as fresh as a rose. What's your secret
this time of year? Dave?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
You had a delay in Toronto coming home. The hell's
going on? Love of the game, Petros, It's the World Series.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
This is what's what I lack. Yeah, five hours of sleep.
Had to get on with kelvin Washington. Spectrum one News.
You can find that and I believe it's free. Oh
let me pick that up. Yeah, Spectrum one News. Anyway,
uh so five hours of sleep, I went double okay,
k dub that's right.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
So cole Brew.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Phil's was out of my col Brew mission cole Brew,
so I had to go to Blue Bottle cole Brew. Yeah,
that's a real pick me up. And I might do
an excel before first pitch today as well.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
You ain't messing around with the accelerator. Date, how much
do you think they're going to be taken in the bullpen?
As far as the energy goes, that's how.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Much all of it? A lot of it.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Somebody suggested maybe a talinol or in a leave as
well with an accelerator.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Chase it with an accelerator. That's not a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, you know we used to say in that you know,
he used to take two pills before football practice to
bring back to football, and we'd say Why are you
taking those two pills? We say, I got a Papa
doucer to kill the chicken in my arm. Well, you
went through a lot more pain than I ever did. Petro,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I couldn't man it last night. I couldn't have made it.
I tapped out and went to sleep. Here walk up
and looked at the score at five.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
In the morning.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Hey, you'll appreciate this. Kershaw on the third inning, getting
ready to pitch. At some point was doing his normal
pregame rotation downward.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Doggie like Cetros. I saw him to a crow po Yeah,
there we go.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
What about the uh Yama versus Snell? What what was
behind Yama instead of Blake?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I got a great story for you. Here we go.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
I talked to Dodger's pitching coach, Mark Pryor earlier this afternoon,
snow trying to push to pitch last night, but they
said absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We need you for Game five, Mark Pryor told me.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
In the tenth inning, Yamamoto was staring daggers at him
from the far end of the dugout to the near side,
where he was standing next to Dave Roberts and Prior's like,
absolutely not, absolutely not, and will Ireton came over and
was trying to talk to him, to convince him, relaying
a message, and Prior's like, you know what, no, no,
(35:28):
And then as he got closer to the eighteenth inning,
they said, all right, go down there, get loose, see.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
What you got. And this is similar to the story
of orrel.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Herscheizer in Game four of the eighty eight NLCS, a
day after pitching a complete game here at Dodger Stadium
against the Mets. The parallels are eerily similar. Yamamoto, the
last Dodger pitcher to pitch a complete game in the
World Series, doing what the Bulldog did, or trying to
(35:59):
do with the Bold forcing his way into that bullpen.
And Prior told me he was throwing debis down there
and he would have came in awesome in the nineteenth inning.
So it was Yamamoto from the tenth inning on urging
Mark Pryor and Dave Roberts to give him the ball.
I know there's a language barrier, but that just shows
you why Yama Moto is so beloved by his teammates,
(36:20):
and that's why Otani and Roki Sasaki had their own
celebration when Yama Moto came out of the bullpen after
Freddy's walk off home run.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
They knew the sacrifice he was, they knew willing to make.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
I was thinking about it, and I was like, would
have been awesome, would have been an incredible moment, but
it would have completely overshadowed.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Will Klein like it.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Those four innings, I think if Yama Moto comes in,
disappear because of that willingness, that worerior mentality, and it
becomes a Yama Moto story. And I think those four
the two innings from Enriquez, like, all of that kind
of disappears because that becomes such a huge storyline.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It does.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
And even with the Freddie Freeman walk off home run
and everything Will Klein did, it wasn't lost on everybody
what Yamamota wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
All right, Dave, who you looking at? I who are
you eyeing? Eric Carross and his son Eric Carros. Yeah,
it looks like Eric Carroll and Jared and Karen and Kyle,
both of one of them just had Tommy John.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I like both of them more than him. Well, you
know that's fair.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
You got a terrible fight with him when we were
hosting the show out of the day and there's still
a steak hanging in the ballance. Dave, absolutely excellent work.
I mean it feels redundant saying that to you.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I love you. Don't want to hear it. The only guys.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Unbelievable, John Guys I here all night, last night, all
day today.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
Part of the show gates all the mic Like the
guy from Spectrum one News, did he grab it from
you last night?
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Again? Dave Stave told me to get the guy a
hard look because because the guy grabbed the mic.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
From money to do a report, are you done? I
was like, oh, Tommy Edmond's coming right now.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Okay, you almost punched Shaken in the face right there.
You were trying to tap up one and Shakan was
walking right by you and he had a duck out
of your way.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
To send a message. Well, you know, it's a it's
a low trajectory. That guy's like five to four exactly.
Is the only guy here shorter than passing?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
How should know that?
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Alejandro Kirkus two hundred and thirty fives.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
If they have to mention it every single time, you
I know he's a butterball. Would you leave the guy alone?
For God's sakes, the one and only David vasse awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Work on five seven LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
We'll be right back with more great sports talk on
You're Home of the Dodgers Live before Game four from
the Dodger Dugout, it's Petrosen money. With the sun beating
down and the East Coast media melting.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Big thank you to David vass A, big thank you
to Will Klein and our dear friend Juan in Dodgers
PR back from the field in our iHeartRadio AM five
seventy LA Sports Suite. Many of our VIPs have arrived early.
The excitement is palpable.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh it's great down there, but it's not like it
was yesterday. It's filled in, there's no doubt. It looks
a little bit more like it did yesterday. But I
think people are a lot like the bats in the
in the extra innings Conzado, Matt, A lot of people
are tired, dragging a little bit long last night, except
for David Vassa.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
He's all riled up.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Like he said, he legitimately wanted to go another hour,
but he felt bad for Colin Ee back at the
station and being the team player that he is because
they did have a full board of calls. Everyone was
freaking out. Why not keep it going? It's the world series.
There's only a maximum for more of these. But I
think save David Bes say, you're right. Everybody dragging ass
(40:18):
a little bit down there. And I would like to
commend producer Tim Kates and the Petrosen Money Show. Could
we have banked and not bank? Could we have pulled
another two to three guests? Absolutely everybody was looking at
us like, I want to be part of the radio.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
You're right, but we said we'll be back tomorrow. I
want to be part of this conversation. We'll be back tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow,
we'll have that conversation with you.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
One of the guys down there that we could have
talked to if we wanted to, uh, it will say
for tomorrow is Cole Tucker. He had the curly hair.
He's with Sirius XM radio. Yeah, he is a former pirate,
played with the Angels at the end of his career
and he's married.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
To Vanessa Hutchins. Is that right? Oh that's that guy.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Congratulations to the young couple. They just had a kid
or something like that. Yeah, to go, So we'll get
Cold Talk Tomorrow beautiful. We're so the young couple. Sadly
they're both in their fifties now.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Uh, speaking of pop stars, last yesterday, part of our
great battery of interviews, when we went down there was
Brad Paisley and he sang the Dodgers anthem yesterday. And
there's that weird stat where he sang the anthem in
the Last Game three twenty eighteen eighteen in in game
and that's pretty weird. And the Oak Canada guy JP
(41:28):
Sacks no relation to our own Steve Sacks Saxe?
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Is this guy different spelling?
Speaker 3 (41:35):
He messed up the words and the Canadians got mad
as hell.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
I didn't know that it is Sacks a Canadian. No,
oh that's not good.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Oh wait, Steve Sacks is from Sacramento. No, no Sacks Sax,
JP Saxy. I have no idea if he is. But
he screwed up the words. But one thing, he's from Toronto.
There you go, so bab okay. So if he's from Toronto,
he's their Yeah, he's one of their own. It's not
our It's not like we had Snoop Dog sing Oh Canada,
and he screwed it up, you know what I mean.
(42:03):
But what's interesting I heard Steve Sacks say the real
ass Steve Sachs, not the not the one that screwed
up the lyrics to Oh Canada. I heard Steve Sacks
on Scam talk about how he well, you know, he's
very patriotic. Steve Sachs is a real American. And he
when it was a player, would get very very upset
(42:24):
if and he said this word star search, if they
would star search the anthem like no, no, no, no,
like sing it all wacky, like oh, do your own rendition.
And Steve Sacks says, if you're not with Whitney Houston,
we don't want to hear you star searching. And he
relayed two stories that I thought you would find interesting.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I heard this on Scam yesterday. He didn't like the
Fergie national anthem.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Well, he didn't even mention that one. He mentioned some
from his time. He said, Kenny G. Petrosen money public
public enemy number one, no doubt the genus he blew
us off said he could do an interview for thirty sec.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Thirty seconds, dude, so there's thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
There is nothing we want to do with you for
thirty seconds, you curly haired idiot, get out of here.
And he was star searching, as Steve Sack said, on
his saxophone thing and making all kinds of notes that
weren't supposed to be in there the way Francis Scott
Key's attended intended. And Sacks threw a ball off his ankle.
He fired one at his.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Legs while he was playing the anthem correct or made
me right after.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
And then another time Sack said he was in the
dugout and Donnie Osmond, of all people, was singing the anthem,
and he was like five yards from.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Sacks in Minnesota, there in Minneapolis, of the old Dome
there in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
And that's saying that.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Donnie Osmond started to hot dog it a little bit,
started to star search it a little bit, you know,
rockets rid glue, and he said, I turned right into
his face and booed loudly, boo boo. And Kate was like,
oh my god, what did Donny Osmond do? And and
Sax was like, Donnie Osman ain't gonna do nothing. What's
(44:01):
he gonna do? Donnie Osman ain't doing.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
As I just realized I thought, And I think obviously
We're so far removed, and we have so many incarnations
of America's Got Talent, American Idol, the.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Voice, Star Search with star Starch with eth Nicmahon your yes, yeah,
that our search that was that was the original.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, And there's a lot of stars that came out
of Star.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
Star Search was the original Gai.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah, I mean we have so you think you can dance?
But does anybody really remember solid Gold.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Because sold Ontario dude forever he used to pop Area
can Dance Fever, Let's go Solid Gold.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Dancer said that John Shelby and other teammates used to
kind of give him the heads up who was thinking.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
That they would hear the rehearsals yea, and who was
gonna hot dog it?
Speaker 3 (44:44):
And they would tell him to not come out because
Sacks would cause a problem like he did throwing the
ball off of Kevg's leg or booing Donny Osmon right
in his face. You gotta ask him about more examples, Kates.
But tonight they have Tina see Tennische Tinache a pop star.
He sounds right, He's gonna sing the national anthem.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
And Debbie Cox, Deborah.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Cox, Debrah Cox is doing O Canada.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
She's gonna do oh Canada, and she is not a Canadian.
So those are your two anthem singers tonight and it
should be a lot of fun at Dodger Stadium, although,
as you said.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Matt, there is a little bit of ass dragon out there.
It is wild that Brad Paisley.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
We asked him what his record was and he's only
sung it three times. Last night was his fourth, I
believe if I could remember. He said, I'm gonna go too,
and oh because I'm not counting twenty seventeen with the cheaters, right,
so last night would be just his fourth time singing
the anthem since twenty seventeen here who knows where, and
we got two eighteen inning games out of it. Just
(45:51):
how like the Quitts it is to have the same
anthem singer.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
What about them?
Speaker 4 (45:57):
I mean, if it's the Lakers and it's Jeffrey Osborne,
because he's sang it nine thousand times for the Lakers,
that's one thing. But four times when you get two
eighteen inning games out of it, and.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
They used to run Osborne's record up there too, Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
But yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Paisley thing is crazy, and the baseball side of it
the eerily similar stuff between Oral Hirscheizer coming in and
Yoshi Amamoto, pretty awesome warming up last night that we
got from David Vasse. All of it piques the interest because,
let's be honest, this is a historic time and if
you're a Dodger fan or a fan of Dodger Radio,
(46:29):
you really are a spoiled rat bastard. And we all
are getting to be here being around all these people
and the World Series being in Dodger Stadium with a
guy like Shoe hal Tani performing and guy like Clayton
Kershaw ending his career, Guys like Freddie Freeman and Bookie
Bets running around out there, and then.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
The wild card part where you get a guy like Will.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Klein and he makes an impact and he was on
three different teams and playing had a seven era with
the Reniers in Tacoma earlier in the year. I mean,
it really makes for a special situation that we all
get to be part of them because we're Dodger Radio.
Speaker 4 (47:03):
The one thing that threw me off last night on
the national broadcast was.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
Joe Davis taking a pain pill and showing everybody that
his voice was hurting.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
No, I didn't notice that I wish I had. I'm
taking a pain pill and you see smokes like.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Booh the when Kershaw gets hot, and as we said
down there with Dave, yeah, it was incredibly emotional. It
was a relief for all the Dodger fans. What a
great season he's had to be able to get out
of that.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Nobody wants to see him get scooped anymore in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Matt, especially the way it went with Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
It's like watching Rocky get punched in the face over
and over by Drago.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
You just don't want to watch it anymore.
Speaker 4 (47:38):
But it was hot that Joe Davis would then announce
and that's likely the last time we'll ever see Kershaw pitch,
and it's like he got one out.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
He threw seven pitches. You do realize that.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
Every single one of these pictures in the bullpen were used.
Joe Haletani was on base nine times, and he's starting
the game trying to me at night.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
I mean, trying to be infiniti if you end up
saying something wrong, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
I'm guessing the said shots probably gonna pitch tonight.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
You could say it could be the last tight we
ever see him. I mean I know you've been talking
for five hours and you're tired, right, but it's just.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
Very odd to say, Okay, we're closing the book. That's
the way we want it to end. That's the ending
that I want. This is what I want, right, But no,
I think they probably need him.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
And Vassa with a very good point that they are
going to probably pitch him tonight. That's what he thought.
So we will see how that plays out. And we
have another hour a great sports talk live from the suite.
As the PA comes on and everybody becomes bludgeoned, so
I'm going to go to the back of the room.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
I can't sit out here when the PA starts. It's unfortunate.
It's all about us and what we need. Just play
some yacht rock. There's brother how.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
He's not muffing with he's not messing with his hair
like Kinny was. And that guy in between him is
the real tall dude that's come on with us before.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Very excitable.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I'm got to tell you, Kates keeps a real good
pipeline with MLB TV and MLB Radio.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
They do right by us hand scam, but you know what,
why wouldn't they? We're the Dodger station. I mean, what
other local radio you're gonna give with.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Rep says you are the best, We'll be back with
more of the best. Petrosen money showing Amphire seventy l Squest.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
You're a home. We're gonna put your head in an
effing ratchet
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Wrap, a ratchet upside your head, but you're a home
of the Dodgers.
Hm around.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I feel like God.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No need to hurry, no need to sparkle, no need
to be anyone but oneself.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Let's trust some money handfin seventy Early Sports were live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and live at dot Stadium
again for Game four.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It is the home of the Dodgers or World Series Champion.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Dodgers have been that for the better part of a
decade and a half, nearly two decades, and the Dodgers
trying to repeat his World Series champion big victory last night.
You heard it right here on five seventy LA Sports
and the Gaalping Motors broadcast booth. Same situation tonight, same
schedule of four o'clock, Dodgers on deck pee a five
o'clock first pitch, and down here on the field, we
await the arrival of one Will kleinb hero from last
(01:27):
night's game.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Four innings, seventy two pitches.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
He's gonna join us straight out of the gate here
as soon as he's finished with some other media duties.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, we didn't know whether we should go down or
stay up, or if Kate should go down or stay up.
We didn't know if we could get down in time.
To start the show because we share microphones with Rogan
and Rodney, and the one day we wanted them to
be done early, the one day we needed a little
time to get down there, they decided to go a
(01:54):
little late, and we took that personally. Yeah, well we're
like Michael Jordan. We take everything personally true. From the
field of the work site, Strauss powers our World Series
coverage on a five seventy LA Sports. Strauss is making
history as the first brand ever featured on a professional
baseball helmet, and it's on all of them, family owned,
trusted worldwide, Strauss dot Com and Matt We got like
(02:18):
an extra two and a half hours of Straussing last
night with the extra innings and all the extra fanfare
and all the extra baseball that everybody got for free.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But look that Dodgers are back out at work.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Freddie Freeman at first base picking it, Max Munsey at
third earlier doing the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
His Dodger team is hungry. Bouiyambre, a lot of man.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Exactly right p right in front of us where we
always stand pregame. Chris Woodward working with Hay Song Kim
right now. Dino Ebel out there, you mentioned Freddie was
going through his reps earlier. Right now, Max Munsey, And yeah,
there's one side of the field.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oral Herscheizer right there on the first place line, and
Oral Herscheiser is thrown out the first pitch that tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
How about that.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
There's a number of media members, I will say.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Much less than yesterday though. Man, Yeah, you know what
it is, pe They aren't.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
They are not acquainted with the onset of Santa Anna's
and the high temperatures that come prior to those winds
blowing through. So they have sought shelter in the dodger,
dugout shelter from the storm. Yes, they are sheltering from
the sun and sitting in the shade. I'm looking at
a number of different shows microphones in front of them
getting after it. Our friend Jim Bowden, who's in there
(03:30):
chatting for MLB Radio. I see the ESPN crew all
taking shelter from the beating hot sun.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Bowden's partner, Well, I understand he's got that two toned
hair because he doesn't want to upset.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I got to protect that floor. Sweatsuit gets a little hot.
I think he took exception to your calling it there.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
He might have, but you know, I took exception of
Roman and Rodney going late. So there's a lot of
people that have but heard around town. I take exception
to your exception. Tim Kates had Bowden's partner on, the
guy that used to play for the Giants, the radio guy,
I forget his name, but yeah, Kevin Friends and he
came on with Tim Katz and he did say as
(04:08):
a guy that covers a lot of baseball and a
guy who's been at Dodger Stadium for a bunch of
playoff games. As we saw Bowden earlier in his Belore
a couple series ago, he said that it's the most
chaotic last night that he ever saw Dodger Stadium. And
you and I were commenting on it. The people that
we know that were at the game, people that get tired,
(04:31):
people that get old, people that get a little bit
bickery late at night, they all stayed for the whole game.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He was a podcast spread Rogan. It was impressive. Stayed
for the whole game.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Everybody glued to their seat, realizing that they were witnessing
something special, even when the evening wore thin.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Matt and it did wear thin, indeed it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Did, and whatever, I'll find a different number of the day.
But I was gonna point out that even the oft
sided celebrity fans and the negativity that has sent their direction,
they all stayed Magic Johnson, Bateman, all them dudes were
here through all eighteen innings. I saw Dan Henley posting
videos of himself right behind the Dodger dugout.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And did you see what social media Matt dugout? Social
media Matt like blew up on all the gossip sites,
blew up and everything because he had Justin Bieber walking
through the dugout club area with his Toronto Blue Jay's
shirt and then our jersey, and he went and sat
right down next to Madison Beer and Justin Herbert and
(05:32):
dapped him up and watched a bunch of the game
and clandestinely from the AM five to seventy LA Sports
Ben Scully Sweet brought to you by Strauss, our guy.
Social media Matt had eyes on his super strong iPhone
camera on that and it blew up everywhere. He sent
it to kiss FM. He sent it and then kiss
(05:53):
FM blew it up everywhere. And how much credit is
he going to get from the powers that be?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Will say be in a very baseball white fashion. He
did get a smack on his ass and a good
job buddy, Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, had a boy. Yeah we'll take that.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Actually he got he got a chance to be in
a raffle the gift card.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He got two extra entries to win a gift card.
That's what he ended up.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
But I was, I was level up, as you know. Yeah,
the level up sticker is awesome. That makes me feel
like I'm really doing a great job. Hey, we got
more than forty thousand views on this thing, level up,
level Up. But overall, Matt, I have to say, I
took to heart what what's that guy's name, Kevin Franzia, Yeah, Franzia.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Exactly the box wine, the box of wine, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
And I took to heart what he said this morning.
As a baseball guy who played for the Giants, who's
been here a thousand times, he said that it was
the craziest he's ever seen Dodger Stadium. And Matt, we've
been through a lot of World Series now, and it's
when we were talking to Brad Paisley yesterday, it's hard
not to take it for granted how good this baseball
franchise is, how high performing they are and how much
(07:11):
they expect to be in these situations. But I have
to say it was I think and we remember the
grabbing hands when the Dodgers were first in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What was that twenty seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, everybody's freaking out about the apparel and have something
that said the World Series on it.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Oh, yeah, that's right. There were fights and I remember, yeah,
the clubhouse and not the clubhouse stores, right, And I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
If that's happening this time around.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I can only assume you very adroitly pointed out back
then eight years ago that you could buy all of.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
This stuff on locks log on.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You're good and you don't have to wait in line
and fight with somebody from La Crasenna. But either way,
we remember that, and that was back when we were
set up in a different place. But just to get
out of the stadium, to walk out of the stadium
with the human traffic just up on the top deck
and in the reserve level was absolutely I mean, it
(08:11):
was just.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That was mayhem nostrils to rear end.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Well.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I was talking to Social Matt before we hit the air,
and obviously he had to post all the videos post games.
So game ends just shy of midnight, right like eleven
fifty six or something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Before the clock strikes ridden up.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
By the time he was done with all of that,
it was one thirty PM or one thirty am, pardon me,
one thirty am. So he does not walk out of
Dodger Stadium until one thirty am.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He said.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
It took him an hour to get out of the
parking lot. Still, that's how many people stayed.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, everybody had hung around. Everybody felt the given a
cup to them. Impact of the moment, and last night
was certainly a moment. And even if there are people
Matt hiding in the dugout down there from the merciless
sheltered from the sun, merciless rays of the pre Santa
Anna sunlight.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
They can't take what we can take. It's still you have.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To admit, and I have a no leg to stand
on because I'm standing up here, but you have to admit, Matt,
that it is more subdued yesterday. At this time yesterday,
it was a much different vibe down there, a much
different media scrum down there. And as always, the Dodgers
are out early, working out. Despite the late nature of
(09:26):
the evening. Mookie Betts is back out there on his
hands and knees. Here he comes doing his shortstop drills.
And guess who's coming over here. He's a tall drink
of water pee his rabbinical beer. Oh, it's a beautiful beard.
He's a tall drink of water. He's like six four,
He's a very large individual.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, I'm up.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Here because we didn't know when you were gonna come over.
Straight out of Eastern Illinois, out of Bloomington, Indiana, Matt
a place you know, well, oh exactly. We saw him
earlier in the season. He's been on three different teams
this season and waking up yesterday morning. Who knows if
he knew that he would end up being a World
Series hero for these Los Angeles Dodgers. It is joining
(10:07):
us on your Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity hotline, Will
Klin on the Petros and Money Show. What's cracking?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Will?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I'm good? How are you guys?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Thanks for having me kidding me. We're talking to Will Klin.
We're freaking great. How we are now?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Did that bearded head hit the pillow at all last
night or did you just stay up answering texts. What
a wonderful night for you and your family. Congratulations, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So what did you do? Did you stay up all night?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think I ended up falling asleep maybe around three o'clock.
I had like five hundred plus messages to go through,
and I tried to get through as many as I
could and respond to friends and family and stuff. But
I went through him and my wife kind of sat
there trying to take it in after. And I don't
think the drones worn off yet.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I mean, you're on the roster.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I mean you know that at a certain point you're
probably going to appear in World Series games, and you're
with this team. But when you envisions off as an athlete,
you envisioned something good happening for yourself. Could you have
ever imagined what unfurled last night was gonna unfurl for
you and this team?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
No, not at all. I said yesterday. I don't think
I could have, you know, had a better dream or
pictured a better outcome for at any point in my career, really,
you know, And so just being able to go out
there and you know, do do what I didn't give
our team that chance get Fred of that chance, like
I think we all knew he would was just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
When's the last time you threw seventy pitches in a game?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Think I think it was my junior year of college
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So what did what did it feel like? Like?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
What you know, because you're a dude that throws gas,
so I would assume that's going to affect.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But lastly, it didn't seem like it.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
But kind of what does it feel like when you're
when you're taking up and you're going back out there
for a fourth?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Any Yeah, I just think the adrenaline helped me stay
in it. You know, I got a little more out
of myself there, but just being able to find, you know,
that that last little uh bit of energy in myself
and you know, stay in it, keep going, not not
let us slip away there, And like I think you
see it with with those last two pitches, uh yeah,
you know, and Will call that last curve ball kind
(12:08):
of like really gave me the energy I needed there.
So I couldn't tell you, but it just kind of happened.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Speaking of energy, was Will Smith looking like he was
gonna fall over when when he came up to congratulate.
I mean, it had to not be an easy situation
of catching eighteen innings. What were those guys looking like?
And when you looked in their eyes when you kept
coming into the dugout, what did you see.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I've never I've never seen a catcher go eighteen innings
and and look as energized as as he was, you know,
like I mean that that's why he's the starting catcher
for Los Angeles Daughters. Like no one else could have
could have done what he did yesterday, and just he's
gonna go out and do it again today, you know,
hopefully it's not eighteen innings. But you know, everyone like
I don't know, I don't know. Everyone just stayed in
it yesterday, Like you could hear the energy from our
(12:54):
dugout every yet bad, every pitch, you know, second of
the game, like they were in it. And I think
that helps the guys on the field stay in it too.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Will when you when you get the strikeout, you know,
anybody in the stadium can't hear you because they're all yelling.
We can't hear you on TV. You're not miked up,
but it looked like you really gave out a primal scream.
Now if it is your everyday voice, it's a beautiful voice.
Did you blow out your voice when you signed a
little bit horse? Right now as we're talking to you.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I think I blew up my voice Before I even
started pitching, I was. I mean we hit we hit
what two or three home runs? Before every time we
scored a run, I was yelling and jumping around, and
you know, and so even before I went out there
is getting scratchy. And then yeah, each I think I
yelled at every inning, you know, because I didn't know
when it would when it would be the last one,
and just like getting the zero and giving our chance
(13:40):
to go back out and win the game the next
like that was just such a great feeling that you know,
you have to let something out each time, and the
last one definitely like did some damage.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, I looked like it.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
When did you start getting loose? Like what what was
your are you doing it in the eighth inn? He not?
Like when do you start kind of moving around? And
how often did you have to get up and start
moving around?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I think I started doing like my normal stuff like
round the you know, the fifth or sixth, just you
never know what will happen. Obviously, it took a couple
more innings to get there, but every couple innings or
so do it again. Did bands probably four times yesterday
through some plios. But just like whatever I could do
to like stay in it and stay like ready and loose.
(14:19):
I think I had, you know, two energy drinks, so yeah,
the big ones, I think theyre reach like two hundred plus,
but you know that that helped, and just yeah, just
moving around pretty much the whole game.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
We know a little bit about your history because we
have a former intern on this show that used to
coach at Eastern Illinois, and we heard, just like Kenley Jansen,
you started out your amateur career as a catcher.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Why'd they move you to pitcher? And now look at you? Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I was a catcher in high school. I was varsity
catcher parts of sophomore and then junior year, and then
my senior year actually broke my right thumb, so I
couldn't I was pretty useless as a catch or that point,
and I could still like try to throw. So I
moved more so to like d H and like sometimes
outfield it's the worst outfield you've ever seen. But then
as that healed and I hadn't been catching, I moved
(15:10):
like focused more on pitching, and then I was mainly
a pitcher, and summer ball stuck because I knew that's
where I would go to college because I was not
a good hitter. But yeah, I just made that made
that transition a little easier, just having gotten the experience
and in summer ball and stuff. And then you know, Eastern
Illinois reached out as a pitcher I think after my
junior like during my junior summer, and so that that
(15:32):
kind of made the decision really easy.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
What what's the conversation like after two innings, after three innings?
Like what are are you taking? Are you telling Doc
you're fine? Is he asking you?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What is that? What's going on there?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
The conversation is keep going, keep going.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Because we saw Yamamoto warming in the pan for for
potential any nineteen? Were you gonna go back out different nineteen?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
No? No, I think I think that was Yama's game
from then on. I don't. Yeah, I was. I was
told I was done, and I think he would have
been in the game, which would have been terrifying but
really cool to see. That's I mean he's a different beast.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well, you've been a few different places. I mean you've
been three different places this year. Well, and it's so
cool to see this happen for you and your family
and for the organization to have you there in that
moment and all the stars aligned.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
How different is this Dodger.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Team compared to some other organizations that you've been with.
Is it different? Is it special? Or is it a
plug in play? How does it work?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, I mean I think you can see, especially with
how everyone grinded out yesterday's it's a special team. And
I mean I enjoyed my time with the Royals. They
drafted me, and I spent a lot of time with
the guys in that organization, and you know, a lot
of good people over there, and I love the guys there.
And then you know, I spent some I spent less
time with Days and the Maryors obviously, but there are
a lot of good people on those guys and on
(16:57):
those teams and good players. But I think you just
just see it when you have when you intentionally walk show. Hey,
and now you have to face former VP Mookie Betts
or he E's out, and then you gotta face former
world Series and would be Freddy Freeman or then Will
Smith or tayl or Max Mounts. You're however, many like
other guys you want to name that can go and
(17:19):
win the game for themselves. It's just like there's never
a free out with this team, you know, and so
it's and then same thing with the pitching staff. I
could you could say we have five asses on the
team and then like there's been talks about the bullpend
whole year, but I think you saw yesterday what it's
really about when you know, when when it's needed, and
just every one of this team is willing to win,
to grind their butts off to get a win.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
You know, we're on the field, it's game for the
World Series. And we know you've been asked a lot
of these same questions, and so we appreciate you entertaining us.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's why his voice is so blown out right.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
One thing that the Petrosen Money Show does better than
anybody else just talk directional university sports. So if we
may engage here a little Panthers, leathernecks, Selukis Huskies, those
evil cardinals of Illinois State.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Like what was the great rivalry?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Was it? Where the Sycamores involved at all. Like, let's
take us through your amateur career and who was the
most Was it the LEATHERNX who was the most hated
of all the directional universities that you took on?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, I don't think we ever played the leather Neck. No,
I don't think we played the Huskies up. Oh no, No,
I think we obviously we played the Seluki's probably played
SIUV as well, but SIUI was the only one of
those that were in our conference, okay, because I think
we were the further northernmost team in our conference. So yeah,
SIU E didn't really like them very much. Played Illinois State.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You just don't like.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Anybody you play against, you know, exactly right, I didn't
like Tennessee Tech very much.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You know, nobody likes Tennessee Tech.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Exactly ever heard of them? They won sixty games though
in twenty nineteen twenty they made it to the super
Regional that year. Yeah, they were at that. Yeah, I
think they lost to ol Texas text saying I'm aware,
but yeah, that was a team that was terrible play against.
But that's s i U is probably at least favorite
out of the.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Directional and he was in the Quad Cities too.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, come on, and we love the question so import forever.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Got gotta know there wasn't There was a Dodger reliever
many years ago named Eric Ganie who also had a
very very distinctive beard, and they used to sell shirts
here with like the beard coming out of the chin,
like like like you know, I'm sure that something like
that is going to happen. I hope great things we
(19:35):
all have, great things are in the future for you. Will.
What a great night and what a special special thing
to watch for all of the Dodger fans and baseball
fans everywhere. Congratulations on your success. And here's the success
the rest of the World Series.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, let's let's finish this thing off. Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
There we go. Appreciate it. Will all right, big dude pee, Yeah,
he's big. I can see.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
And he's rocking the the Otani Goat shirt. I think
Rode Aware needs to get something going for Will climb right.
Just a beard, yeah, beard, the rabbinical beard.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, and you know he used to be a catcher,
but towers over former catcher Tim Kats Indeed. Yeah, yes,
I'll see if baseball in ninety six.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
The TMS photoshop banded doing a bang up job of
throwing Kate's face on the five foot seven, two hundred
and thirty pound Alejandro Kirk.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh No, that was one of the better photos that
I mean, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The one thing that kind of bugs me about the
Kirk thing, it's like every single time anybody talks to
him on scam or about him in the in the booth,
John Smoltz, Joe Davis, they every single time, Yeah, you know,
he just he doesn't look the part. Uh yeah, you know,
look at that body. I mean, he's two hundred and thirty.
He's only five. So it's like, can you not mention
(20:46):
how fatt he is every single time? Can we just
skip one over and then bring I mean, because guy's
obviously pretty great?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So what do we want to do next? Should I
take the break and then Dave's going to join us
from down there? Yes? All right, I'll come down.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Make it down and uh and then who knows, you know,
there's always the uh and we could come back up.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, there's always the wild car. No, I you know
what I'm tired of you always the wild car.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You're like my kid leaving an amusement park. Hey, let's
just do this.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
This is one more thing. Listen, I want this stuffed animal.
I want this doll.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Let's go on the accelerator. Look, there's no line. If
we come out, we don't need to leave you.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Come on, Dad, don't be such a buzz killed. There's
a dark clown. Come on, all right, I'm headed down.
We'll be right back on am FI seventy l A Sports,

Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
All right, puddo, everybody, what's cracking?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And welcome back.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's the one and only petros In Money Show, live
from beautiful Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
The sun is beating down.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
There are a lot of media members sheltering shelter from the.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Sweltering heat in the dugout.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Don't do that, but out here with their face to
the sun cracked like John Wayne staring at the Western skies.
Is our net guest after we just caught up with
the hero, an unlikely hero of Game three, Well climb.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It is the one and only.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
David vass Our Dodger reporter, the tireless David Vassy from
Spectrum Sports Net from MLB Network, and of course right
here one off.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vass Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
David Vass is here, brought to you by Service Titan
dot com. Dave, what's cracking?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
How are you? I'm feeling good.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I was just telling Matt we had a full border
calls until two am on Dodger Talk. I was thinking
about taking it all the way to five point fifty
five am and tossing it to Sax and Kate's this
morning because there was a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
A last handoff, my man, what a great handoff. Stay
on all day.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Nobody needs to hear the overnight forget about coast to coast.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
You know who had Fomo That player hater himself been
a text to me. He's like, oh, you're taking my
airtime away, overnight airtime.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh poor Mallard. It's like once in a lifetime game
dead Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Just take it easy. Yeah. Sorry.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
You could talk about the commanders and chiefs tonight and
everybody in La Care.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So you've done a lot of these, Dave. I mean
dating all the way back to twenty seventeen when way
we were here and it was all new and everybody
was scrambling over the apparel.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Where does last night rank? I mean last series?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Otani has the greatest performance individually of any baseball player
in a playoff game. And now what we're watching is
just crazy. I mean, how does this keep on happening,
these reoccurring historic events.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Well, I never thought I would live through another eighteen
inning World Series game. I literally never thought that would
happen again. Maximunthsy ended that one against the Red Sox,
and it was different circumstances.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I agree that one. I was like's just get this
over with.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Yeah, there was a little bit more traffic, but it
comes down to the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
If you want to be real about it.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Why it goes eighteen innings Because guys now are built
to try to swing for home runs. Nobody needed to
do that. That game could have ended a lot sooner
than it did. Everybody was trying to be a hero.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Now, does somebody say something because I heard that on
the radio broadcast being said, like all these guys are
just swinging, Well, it's true, and they were saying it
on the TV broadcast Joe Davis and Smaltz, does does
Dave Roberts.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Like, like one of those guys say, guys like a football.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Game, Like we get everybody together and say, hey, guys,
shorten the swings. Does that happen in baseball? Or they
just keep sending everybody out there.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
That would have been a great game plan to huddle
everybody in the dugout. I know Nomar would have led
that huddle to try not to swing for the fences.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I hate to bring football references into every single interview reference.
He's stupid though I can't really do anything. I don't
as a kicker, he could appreciate that. At Bosco True
Story and Georgia Tech wanted his.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Like did they? Yeah, we did.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Sponsored by the varsity. Nomarciaparts he doesn't do kickoffs. He
does extra points and short field goals. We got a
long guy that does the kickoffs, and we got a
long field goal guy.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
But that's the reason why in twenty eighteen, in Game three,
it took eighteen innings. That's why it took eighteen innings
last night because somebody eventually was going to hit a
home run. The mere fact is the Dodgers had more
guys in their line up capable of being the hero
and of course Freddie Freeman, one of the best, if
not the best hitter fundamentally sound in the game today,
(26:27):
was not trying to hit a home run. His swing
was getting better each of his last two at bats,
and that was the result of him just being a
good hitter.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
That the you know, I guess if you want to
call it a negative side of it, positive side is
it's the most impattive President.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Of the Hall of Fame wants a little snick long
good list game over here. He wants to stick that. Hey,
what did you grab from Freddy Freeman last night? Josh
raw Which what's going to Cooperstown tomorrow? We've got a
lot of things that were working on, nothing finalized.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, okay, some seeds.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
We might have to get David Vessey's shirt from last
night's game.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Not a bad idea. Don't look for Maithsonian already came
and took it.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Don't look for any photos Johnson, who took all of
them of Lauren Shahati and Freddie Hay.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But Dave.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
The positive is, I don't think there's a more embattled
unit in the postseason of any team than the Dodger
Bulpe and they're the star of the show. They're the
ones that kept this thing scoreless after glass Now left,
or I guess the one run from trinin that put
him in a position to win. I would assume, even
though they're dead ass tired, that's got to be pretty
damn good for a team that's just heard about how
(27:28):
bad they are.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, and look, Blake Trinon is the guy that Dave
Roberts still remembers last year being a hero. But in
the here and now, he's been redline going back to
last year and he just hasn't been the same guy.
So it's ironic that the one guy that kind of
had a hiccup was Blake Trianon. But the no names
of Justin Robleski and Will Kliney. When I say no names,
(27:51):
across America, nobody knows who Justin Robert I.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Didn't know who Will klein was.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Yeah, So you know that's the ironic part of this.
And the first guy I saw when I went back
up to the booth to host the postgame show Dodger
Talk was John Smoltz and immediately told me I was
so happy for Clayton Kershaw. That's the guy I wanted
to get out of that bass's loaded jam. Nathan Lucas
basses loaded. They bring him in to face him because
(28:16):
of the false narrative to a certain extent of his
postseason resume, and he would have heard it, and this
is his last dance.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It would have.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Really crushed and took a lot out of this whole
season if Pershaw doesn't find a way to get the
Dodgers out of that twelve inning jam. But you know,
it says a lot that a Hall of Famer like
John Smoltz is thinking about that one guy, considering everything
that happened eighteen innings.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
We just talked to him. How much interaction have you
had with Will Klein? A lot.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
That's why you invest in everybody, not just Mookie Beds
and Freddie Freeman. This guy has had a long road
to get to where he's at right now. He had
a live arm in spring training. The skinner report on
him was he had a hard time throwing stre which
he did and that's the reason why he got sent
down during the season. But he put in a lot
of work and found a way to throw hard but
(29:07):
also throw strikes. And I know coming into the postseason,
there were a lot of coaches, including Connor McGuinness, the
assistant pitching coach that was pushing for Will Klein to
be on the postseason roster. And the reality is, unfortunately,
if Alex Vessia doesn't have his family situation, we very
well may not have seen Will Klein last night. He's
(29:30):
on this roster because Alex Vesia is off it. She
likes to interrupt, you know, she doesn't like people getting attention.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Dave the going back to going back to Kershaw, and
you know what you said about Smoltz, And I'm sure
you had a feed of the TV broadcast. They had
cameras obviously trained on his wife, Allen, and you could
see just how emotional she was, completely overcome with emotion,
did it? It felt like that wasn't just Smoltz, And
that was the all of Dodger's datum, Like, if we
can only have one thing, can it please be this
(29:59):
guy getting fish out?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
One hundred matt fifty thousand fans had the same feelings,
maybe not to that extreme of Ellen Kershaw, because you
don't want to see a Larry Holmes's type of situation, right,
You want to see a guy go out and do well,
and look, the reality is you may see Clayton Kershaw.
There's a very good chance actually that you are going
(30:21):
to see Kershaw in this game tonight because shoe Heotani
when he stole second base and was thrown out. From
what I was told, that's when he started to feel cramps.
And look, it's a warm day. The Dodger training staff
started the hydration process.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Last night on his way home.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yeah, so he's starting game four seventeen hours after the
final out last night, and he's got to go out there.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
So that's the reason why.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
With a thin bullpen and Kershaw only having faced one guy,
one guy, what.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
He's going to eat Dallas? Oh yeah, you'll see twenty
two on the Mounta today. Oh no, that is amazing.
That's my prediction. Well, what are you think about the
lineup being the same day?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I hate it. I hate it. Come on call.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Look, if Tommy Edmond can play six innings of extra
innings in center field, there's no reason why he can't
play center field today at Dodgers Stadium. From what I
was told, he came in and he's feeling good. That
right ankle, that right foot's feeling good. Look, Andy pa
haz was on base or had four innings where he
(31:25):
led off. He continued his postseason struggles where he still
hasn't drawn a walk.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
He has four hits and almost fifty at bats. That's
not what you want out of your ninth spot.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Miguel Rojas at second base, Tommy Edmond in center field
is what I was looking at today.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But obviously Dave Roberts feels differently.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
What about just if you and I'm just playing devil's
advocate here, did you feel like the at bats got
better at least, you know, in that two hole he
fights back to three and two like that. I'm trying
to figure out what they're thinking and what the takeaway is.
Did they see something in the at bats where they're like,
you know what, maybe he saw it a little bit
better as the game went on, and that's why they're
putting him back out there, because I'm I thought the
same thing last night halfway through the game, like, can
(32:07):
you get someone on base in front of Otani so
they can't intentionally walk them all over and over and
over again.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Well, even in the first nine innings, the two doubles,
the two home runs, they wouldn't have been game tying.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
They would have been two run, go ahead doubles. Yeah,
two run home runs.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
And remember last year in the World Series, it was
Gavin Lux hitting ninth that turned the lineup over to
allow Freddy Freeman to come up with the bases loaded
in Game five to allow the Dodgers to come back
against the Yankees. That's what they need out of that
ninth spot, and Andy pa has not only has not
given it to them in the first three games of
(32:43):
the World Series, he hasn't given it to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
All postseason long.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
And the only thing I could think of is Dave
Roberts wants better defense in center field, and he still
feels that Tommy Edmund may be a little limited in
center That's the only thing I could think of. But
midway through this game, there's no reason why if Paz
is not doing well, he should be out of this game.
But you know, I'm a big advocate for Miguel Roja
(33:09):
sitting ninth and Tommy Edmund playing center field.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Dave, it's hot, but you're in black jeans. You're not
even flustered. You were up all night last night and
you seem as fresh as a rose. What's your secret
this time of year? Dave?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
You had a delay in Toronto coming home. The hell's
going on? Love of the game, Petros, It's the World Series.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
This is what's what I lack. Yeah, five hours of sleep.
Had to get on with kelvin Washington. Spectrum one News.
You can find that and I believe it's free. Oh
let me pick that up. Yeah, Spectrum one News. Anyway,
uh so five hours of sleep, I went double okay,
k dub that's right.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
So cole Brew.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Phil's was out of my col Brew mission cole Brew,
so I had to go to Blue Bottle cole Brew. Yeah,
that's a real pick me up. And I might do
an excel before first pitch today as well.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
You ain't messing around with the accelerator. Date, how much
do you think they're going to be taken in the bullpen?
As far as the energy goes, that's how.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Much all of it? A lot of it.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Somebody suggested maybe a talinol or in a leave as
well with an accelerator.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Chase it with an accelerator. That's not a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, you know we used to say in that you know,
he used to take two pills before football practice to
bring back to football, and we'd say Why are you
taking those two pills? We say, I got a Papa
doucer to kill the chicken in my arm. Well, you
went through a lot more pain than I ever did. Petro,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I couldn't man it last night. I couldn't have made it.
I tapped out and went to sleep. Here walk up
and looked at the score at five.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
In the morning.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Hey, you'll appreciate this. Kershaw on the third inning, getting
ready to pitch. At some point was doing his normal
pregame rotation downward.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Doggie like Cetros. I saw him to a crow po Yeah,
there we go.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
What about the uh Yama versus Snell? What what was
behind Yama instead of Blake?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I got a great story for you. Here we go.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
I talked to Dodger's pitching coach, Mark Pryor earlier this afternoon,
snow trying to push to pitch last night, but they
said absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We need you for Game five, Mark Pryor told me.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
In the tenth inning, Yamamoto was staring daggers at him
from the far end of the dugout to the near side,
where he was standing next to Dave Roberts and Prior's like,
absolutely not, absolutely not, and will Ireton came over and
was trying to talk to him, to convince him, relaying
a message, and Prior's like, you know what, no, no,
(35:28):
And then as he got closer to the eighteenth inning,
they said, all right, go down there, get loose, see.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
What you got. And this is similar to the story
of orrel.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Herscheizer in Game four of the eighty eight NLCS, a
day after pitching a complete game here at Dodger Stadium
against the Mets. The parallels are eerily similar. Yamamoto, the
last Dodger pitcher to pitch a complete game in the
World Series, doing what the Bulldog did, or trying to
(35:59):
do with the Bold forcing his way into that bullpen.
And Prior told me he was throwing debis down there
and he would have came in awesome in the nineteenth inning.
So it was Yamamoto from the tenth inning on urging
Mark Pryor and Dave Roberts to give him the ball.
I know there's a language barrier, but that just shows
you why Yama Moto is so beloved by his teammates,
(36:20):
and that's why Otani and Roki Sasaki had their own
celebration when Yama Moto came out of the bullpen after
Freddy's walk off home run.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
They knew the sacrifice he was, they knew willing to make.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
I was thinking about it, and I was like, would
have been awesome, would have been an incredible moment, but
it would have completely overshadowed.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Will Klein like it.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Those four innings, I think if Yama Moto comes in,
disappear because of that willingness, that worerior mentality, and it
becomes a Yama Moto story. And I think those four
the two innings from Enriquez, like, all of that kind
of disappears because that becomes such a huge storyline.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It does.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
And even with the Freddie Freeman walk off home run
and everything Will Klein did, it wasn't lost on everybody
what Yamamota wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
All right, Dave, who you looking at? I who are
you eyeing? Eric Carross and his son Eric Carros. Yeah,
it looks like Eric Carroll and Jared and Karen and Kyle,
both of one of them just had Tommy John.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I like both of them more than him. Well, you
know that's fair.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
You got a terrible fight with him when we were
hosting the show out of the day and there's still
a steak hanging in the ballance. Dave, absolutely excellent work.
I mean it feels redundant saying that to you.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I love you. Don't want to hear it. The only guys.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Unbelievable, John Guys I here all night, last night, all
day today.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
Part of the show gates all the mic Like the
guy from Spectrum one News, did he grab it from
you last night?
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Again? Dave Stave told me to get the guy a
hard look because because the guy grabbed the mic.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
From money to do a report, are you done? I
was like, oh, Tommy Edmond's coming right now.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Okay, you almost punched Shaken in the face right there.
You were trying to tap up one and Shakan was
walking right by you and he had a duck out
of your way.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
To send a message. Well, you know, it's a it's
a low trajectory. That guy's like five to four exactly.
Is the only guy here shorter than passing?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
How should know that?
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Alejandro Kirkus two hundred and thirty fives.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
If they have to mention it every single time, you
I know he's a butterball. Would you leave the guy alone?
For God's sakes, the one and only David vasse awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Work on five seven LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
We'll be right back with more great sports talk on
You're Home of the Dodgers Live before Game four from
the Dodger Dugout, it's Petrosen money. With the sun beating
down and the East Coast media melting.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Big thank you to David vass A, big thank you
to Will Klein and our dear friend Juan in Dodgers
PR back from the field in our iHeartRadio AM five
seventy LA Sports Suite. Many of our VIPs have arrived early.
The excitement is palpable.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh it's great down there, but it's not like it
was yesterday. It's filled in, there's no doubt. It looks
a little bit more like it did yesterday. But I
think people are a lot like the bats in the
in the extra innings Conzado, Matt, A lot of people
are tired, dragging a little bit long last night, except
for David Vassa.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
He's all riled up.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Like he said, he legitimately wanted to go another hour,
but he felt bad for Colin Ee back at the
station and being the team player that he is because
they did have a full board of calls. Everyone was
freaking out. Why not keep it going? It's the world series.
There's only a maximum for more of these. But I
think save David Bes say, you're right. Everybody dragging ass
(40:18):
a little bit down there. And I would like to
commend producer Tim Kates and the Petrosen Money Show. Could
we have banked and not bank? Could we have pulled
another two to three guests? Absolutely everybody was looking at
us like, I want to be part of the radio.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
You're right, but we said we'll be back tomorrow. I
want to be part of this conversation. We'll be back tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow,
we'll have that conversation with you.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
One of the guys down there that we could have
talked to if we wanted to, uh, it will say
for tomorrow is Cole Tucker. He had the curly hair.
He's with Sirius XM radio. Yeah, he is a former pirate,
played with the Angels at the end of his career
and he's married.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
To Vanessa Hutchins. Is that right? Oh that's that guy.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Congratulations to the young couple. They just had a kid
or something like that. Yeah, to go, So we'll get
Cold Talk Tomorrow beautiful. We're so the young couple. Sadly
they're both in their fifties now.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Uh, speaking of pop stars, last yesterday, part of our
great battery of interviews, when we went down there was
Brad Paisley and he sang the Dodgers anthem yesterday. And
there's that weird stat where he sang the anthem in
the Last Game three twenty eighteen eighteen in in game
and that's pretty weird. And the Oak Canada guy JP
(41:28):
Sacks no relation to our own Steve Sacks Saxe?
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Is this guy different spelling?
Speaker 3 (41:35):
He messed up the words and the Canadians got mad
as hell.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
I didn't know that it is Sacks a Canadian. No,
oh that's not good.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Oh wait, Steve Sacks is from Sacramento. No, no Sacks Sax,
JP Saxy. I have no idea if he is. But
he screwed up the words. But one thing, he's from Toronto.
There you go, so bab okay. So if he's from Toronto,
he's their Yeah, he's one of their own. It's not
our It's not like we had Snoop Dog sing Oh Canada,
and he screwed it up, you know what I mean.
(42:03):
But what's interesting I heard Steve Sacks say the real
ass Steve Sachs, not the not the one that screwed
up the lyrics to Oh Canada. I heard Steve Sacks
on Scam talk about how he well, you know, he's
very patriotic. Steve Sachs is a real American. And he
when it was a player, would get very very upset
(42:24):
if and he said this word star search, if they
would star search the anthem like no, no, no, no,
like sing it all wacky, like oh, do your own rendition.
And Steve Sacks says, if you're not with Whitney Houston,
we don't want to hear you star searching. And he
relayed two stories that I thought you would find interesting.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I heard this on Scam yesterday. He didn't like the
Fergie national anthem.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Well, he didn't even mention that one. He mentioned some
from his time. He said, Kenny G. Petrosen money public
public enemy number one, no doubt the genus he blew
us off said he could do an interview for thirty sec.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Thirty seconds, dude, so there's thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
There is nothing we want to do with you for
thirty seconds, you curly haired idiot, get out of here.
And he was star searching, as Steve Sack said, on
his saxophone thing and making all kinds of notes that
weren't supposed to be in there the way Francis Scott
Key's attended intended. And Sacks threw a ball off his ankle.
He fired one at his.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Legs while he was playing the anthem correct or made
me right after.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
And then another time Sack said he was in the
dugout and Donnie Osmond, of all people, was singing the anthem,
and he was like five yards from.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Sacks in Minnesota, there in Minneapolis, of the old Dome
there in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
And that's saying that.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Donnie Osmond started to hot dog it a little bit,
started to star search it a little bit, you know,
rockets rid glue, and he said, I turned right into
his face and booed loudly, boo boo. And Kate was like,
oh my god, what did Donny Osmond do? And and
Sax was like, Donnie Osman ain't gonna do nothing. What's
(44:01):
he gonna do? Donnie Osman ain't doing.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
As I just realized I thought, And I think obviously
We're so far removed, and we have so many incarnations
of America's Got Talent, American Idol, the.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Voice, Star Search with star Starch with eth Nicmahon your yes, yeah,
that our search that was that was the original.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, And there's a lot of stars that came out
of Star.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
Star Search was the original Gai.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah, I mean we have so you think you can dance?
But does anybody really remember solid Gold.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Because sold Ontario dude forever he used to pop Area
can Dance Fever, Let's go Solid Gold.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Dancer said that John Shelby and other teammates used to
kind of give him the heads up who was thinking.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
That they would hear the rehearsals yea, and who was
gonna hot dog it?
Speaker 3 (44:44):
And they would tell him to not come out because
Sacks would cause a problem like he did throwing the
ball off of Kevg's leg or booing Donny Osmon right
in his face. You gotta ask him about more examples, Kates.
But tonight they have Tina see Tennische Tinache a pop star.
He sounds right, He's gonna sing the national anthem.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
And Debbie Cox, Deborah.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Cox, Debrah Cox is doing O Canada.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
She's gonna do oh Canada, and she is not a Canadian.
So those are your two anthem singers tonight and it
should be a lot of fun at Dodger Stadium, although,
as you said.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Matt, there is a little bit of ass dragon out there.
It is wild that Brad Paisley.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
We asked him what his record was and he's only
sung it three times. Last night was his fourth, I
believe if I could remember. He said, I'm gonna go too,
and oh because I'm not counting twenty seventeen with the cheaters, right,
so last night would be just his fourth time singing
the anthem since twenty seventeen here who knows where, and
we got two eighteen inning games out of it. Just
(45:51):
how like the Quitts it is to have the same
anthem singer.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
What about them?
Speaker 4 (45:57):
I mean, if it's the Lakers and it's Jeffrey Osborne,
because he's sang it nine thousand times for the Lakers,
that's one thing. But four times when you get two
eighteen inning games out of it, and.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
They used to run Osborne's record up there too, Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
But yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Paisley thing is crazy, and the baseball side of it
the eerily similar stuff between Oral Hirscheizer coming in and
Yoshi Amamoto, pretty awesome warming up last night that we
got from David Vasse. All of it piques the interest because,
let's be honest, this is a historic time and if
you're a Dodger fan or a fan of Dodger Radio,
(46:29):
you really are a spoiled rat bastard. And we all
are getting to be here being around all these people
and the World Series being in Dodger Stadium with a
guy like Shoe hal Tani performing and guy like Clayton
Kershaw ending his career, Guys like Freddie Freeman and Bookie
Bets running around out there, and then.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
The wild card part where you get a guy like Will.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Klein and he makes an impact and he was on
three different teams and playing had a seven era with
the Reniers in Tacoma earlier in the year. I mean,
it really makes for a special situation that we all
get to be part of them because we're Dodger Radio.
Speaker 4 (47:03):
The one thing that threw me off last night on
the national broadcast was.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
Joe Davis taking a pain pill and showing everybody that
his voice was hurting.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
No, I didn't notice that I wish I had. I'm
taking a pain pill and you see smokes like.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Booh the when Kershaw gets hot, and as we said
down there with Dave, yeah, it was incredibly emotional. It
was a relief for all the Dodger fans. What a
great season he's had to be able to get out
of that.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Nobody wants to see him get scooped anymore in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Matt, especially the way it went with Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
It's like watching Rocky get punched in the face over
and over by Drago.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
You just don't want to watch it anymore.
Speaker 4 (47:38):
But it was hot that Joe Davis would then announce
and that's likely the last time we'll ever see Kershaw pitch,
and it's like he got one out.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
He threw seven pitches. You do realize that.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
Every single one of these pictures in the bullpen were used.
Joe Haletani was on base nine times, and he's starting
the game trying to me at night.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
I mean, trying to be infiniti if you end up
saying something wrong, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
I'm guessing the said shots probably gonna pitch tonight.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
You could say it could be the last tight we
ever see him. I mean I know you've been talking
for five hours and you're tired, right, but it's just.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
Very odd to say, Okay, we're closing the book. That's
the way we want it to end. That's the ending
that I want. This is what I want, right, But no,
I think they probably need him.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
And Vassa with a very good point that they are
going to probably pitch him tonight. That's what he thought.
So we will see how that plays out. And we
have another hour a great sports talk live from the suite.
As the PA comes on and everybody becomes bludgeoned, so
I'm going to go to the back of the room.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
I can't sit out here when the PA starts. It's unfortunate.
It's all about us and what we need. Just play
some yacht rock. There's brother how.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
He's not muffing with he's not messing with his hair
like Kinny was. And that guy in between him is
the real tall dude that's come on with us before.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Very excitable.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I'm got to tell you, Kates keeps a real good
pipeline with MLB TV and MLB Radio.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
They do right by us hand scam, but you know what,
why wouldn't they? We're the Dodger station. I mean, what
other local radio you're gonna give with.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Rep says you are the best, We'll be back with
more of the best. Petrosen money showing Amphire seventy l Squest.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
You're a home. We're gonna put your head in an
effing ratchet
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Wrap, a ratchet upside your head, but you're a home
of the Dodgers.
