Speaker 6 (01:09):
Spetro sand Money AM five seventy LA Sports live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app and live from Dodgers Stadium the
Gallpin Ford Broadcast booth to our left. We are here
for a special occasion. Very excited about the next three
hours of the broadcast. It'll be Dodgers Rockies first pitch
just after seventy ten, Dodgers on deck at six. But
(01:30):
between now and then we have got three hours of
great sports talk that will likely at least we know
some say for certain.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We'll contell you know I mean, there's a lot of conversations,
a lot of speculation about whose conversation will be happening
and whether or not it'll be intimate or not. But
the Petros and Money Show is here at Dodger Stadium today,
courtesy of Verizon, as we will be efforting. Yes, yes,
there are some stragglers here in the suite. It is
(02:00):
our normal Vin Scully suite. We have been pushed down
down further toward the edge. And Matt, it's almost like
we started out in Lot G many years ago. When
we started doing the show here for.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The Dodgers live from the parking we used.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
To from the parking lot, frying on the black top.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They weren't sure about it.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Like loser Carnies, and we were like, hey, lot G.
And it was sad, but that's what we were. And
then they moved us into the stadium and we were.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well prior to moving us in.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I would like to say we sold Lot G so
well we did so that they sent us Vin Scully
to Lot G at one point. You guys are so
good in love, We're gonna send Vin Scully.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
This, Matt, that's not true. It was a sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Related that's not what I heard, It's exactly what.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It was, a Mercedes sponsorship. Then they moved us right here,
like right under where that Cutwater sign is.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's here, would be the left field bull.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, the left field bull where Cutwater sign. And that
is a drink that gives you deep indigestion and won't
get you drunk. And then then we were there for
a long time.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Perelli kicked us outreservily tired, display moved in.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We were moved out a.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Very short dalliance, like a relationship you had in college
that you barely remember. Like a month. They sent us
to the left field pavilion over here. I think that's
the Sussios and we spent.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Some time there, Yeah, on the concourse, the upper concourse
of the left field pavilion, where we met the adult
weirdos that show up early steel home runs Battye Badness
balls from young children.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You can see him from afar. That was that experience.
And then they moved us to our suite, into a
suite which is now sho heo tawny sweet. His dog
poops all over that suite.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Now, I don't believe we know that that is not information.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Where is the dog it's a four hour game. What
are they gonna do with the dog? The dog is
in there, you know, he's defecating the point I don't
know that they moved us out of the suite and
they pushed us down further, and we were kind of
happy about that because it was Vin Scully's suite and
they had all the Vin Scully stuff on the walls,
and gosh, Vin Scully. You know, we were like, that's
a guy that came and visited us in Lot G
(04:14):
back when we were paupers and we had, you know,
just rags to cover us and we were begging in
the streets and Lot G and and now we're in
that suite. But now we've been moved even further and
I think our next stop is back to Lot G.
Like it's kind of sad. It's like a whole loop.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
We are making the rocks.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know. And they say that in broadcasting, they say,
you know, you better be good to people on your
way up because you're gonna see the same people on
the way down ahole. And now look at us, we're
all the ways here to the edge, Matt, and the
next the next stop is right back in the lot
We could see it from here. You see it there
on your screen.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We can see it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's right there.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It is right behind the security benefit in Coca Cola billboard.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
However, it's like.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Taking a guy that's been in prison like and driving
him by Pelican bad Like, Hey remember that? Remember that guy?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
How about that? You don't want to go back there?
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Uh, this is a special occasion. Our friends at Verizon,
all the VIPs here reminded, keeping us from the lot exactly,
locking your low price for three years so you can
save big. Visit a SoCal Verizon store today. I believe
it is a temporary move. I think much like our
house is being tented and we have been asked to
move somewhere for forty eight hours, and then the tent
(05:26):
team will be complete, the termites will all be well moved,
and we will be able to move back.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They said about Perelli, and that's what they said about
left Field, And that's what they said about Show Hayes
poop poop sweet and the dog poop sweet. That's what
they said about Vin Scully sweet. I'm just you know, Matt, You're.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
It's going to be a glorious day of petros and money.
Great sports talk here in Blue Heaven.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well, why don't you tell everybody what we got, Matt.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, what we know we have is a conversation. It's
talking about Matt.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
What do you mean.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
What we know we have is at the in the
five o'clock hour, a conversation in with Dalton Rushing that
is a guarantee. What we are efforting is a conversation
with rookie Bets. Well, well, we were told, we were
told that it was a certainty, and now and look,
(06:15):
he is not playing today. And I'm looking at these two,
the backups, the depth on the Dodgers shortstop charts. They
are taking some infield right now, and I'm not gonna lie.
I'm a little concerned about who's going to be playing
short staff today based on what infield looks like right now.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's the Rockies in town, that's true. But Matt is
referring to two very young children taking infield right now,
and I don't think that they're going to be at
second and first respectively, regardless of well of Mookie bets status.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't know why they're taking ground balls.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Then you have to ask the groundskeeper, Matt. But I
I was excited that we were going to talk to
Mookie Bets today, but also also skeptical and trepidatious.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Yes, because we have we've had a schedule set in
the past.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You know, Charlie Brasten altered with the football that's us
and she's like, I'm not going to move it this time.
I'm not going to do it. And we're like, okay,
they'll no way you'll move the football because we're sponsored
by Verizon and that, and yet and yet I'm looking
up at the sky after having tried to kick the football.
So perhaps Mookie Bets will join us in the next.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Hour, and that's going to be setting that football down
again and perhaps to make our way down onto the
field and to take another swing, take another pass at
that football and decide whether we want to do it
twice in the same day. Yes, Kates, I have it
on good authority.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
That that Mookie Bets will be joining you guys at
five o'clock.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
So that will make that'll make them the field from
the field. Yes, that will make it a Dodger Power hour,
because we have already that Dalton Rushing will join us
in the five o'clock hour. That was already locked because
he wasn't playing today.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So we'll talk to Mookie Bets, and then we'll talk
to Dalton Rushing, and then we'll get to Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Goodnight, Iron sounds like a busy five o'clock hour to me,
it sounds like that rookie Bets, four time World Series
champ on the field on paper, Russian America's hero on
America's catcher.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
On paper, just like you're gonna go interview Mookie Betts
in the secret locker room area on paper.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Not available to the media. By the way, it sounds
like a great plan. But we did see We did
see Wan and Mookie walking in the outfield, and I
do believe there is communication between Tim Kats and wand
well because MOOKI does not is not playing today, it
is a day off.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We have full faith in Wan.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
And if he says I'm bringing Mookie up at five
and Mookie is now here, well, then.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The hell of a departure from zero percent.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
By the way, the two young kids on the field
right now are Miguel Rojas's children. Is I assume playing
shortstop tonight, but he's also hitting fung. Go to his
kids who are practicing taking infil right now.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't want to play either.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
If they do, okay, maybe they'll be able to fill in.

(09:10):
This is an event, but this is a very special

group by the way today from Verizon, a really well
healed group.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Not our only special event of the week, though, Matt,
we got a big event coming up. Mister mister Fletcher knows.
I see him bobbing his head over there. Everybody seems
to know that we have a big event coming up

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Yes, Tim Kakes, we'll all be able to watch Team
USA together play at noon on Friday and then yeah,
sell out that what.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
USA has been destroyed by Belgium.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They have gone down. Yes, where they were.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Going, Team USA went down and all of a sudden
that soccer hot air balloon that you could see on
the Santa Fe skyline just going by like all beautifully,
it sprung a leak and just started going straight down.
That's where you're going. See you on the ice Bompey.
(11:45):
Although it was a very exciting they went out fighting
last night.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They went well kicking and screaming and fighting about that
as well. One of the one of the worst matches
that we've seen Team USA play in quite some time, but.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Only looked a little bit like Charlie Brown trying to
kick a football.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
At least they're superstar though really delivered.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
You know, you can't put it on the back of
the best player on the team that he was not
up for the challenge. Certainly he you know, did everything
he possibly could. Yeah, to push the the US into the.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Round like the messis like the ronault, right, just like.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
We saw earlier today from MESSI you know, when the
game called for your best star, the stars delivered. Really
felt that way yesterday, so that was not the case.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I heard that right before the match. Somebody told team you,
I say, listen, these guys in Belgium, that's a medieval
country that the Romans didn't burn down. A lot of
those buildings are still there. You think you can beat that.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
You knew.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I have got a really bad cramp.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Someone got a cramp. Next thing you know, he's being
subbed out. And next thing you know, in the postgame presser,
he's just saying, well, now I get to relax, you know, you.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Know, now I get to relax. This is great, right,
I don't have to play on Friday. It's supposed to
be really hot out there in la.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It feels like a letdown. But it was a great ride.
I think everybody, you know, the sensational ride culmination in Seattle,
of all those fleshy white people walking down the street
having a great time, chanting USA, holding the flag, everybody
getting behind the country.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Great three weeks, everybody.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Taking a picture of them and their Team USA Jersey.
I think we did our due diligence blirt with junkles.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
We talked to Rogo yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
We talked to Rogo. We talked to WLA twice. We
got into it. We had fun, We embraced soccer culture.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Had the lead in of Team USA winning going into
our September's PMS Summer tour stop. We were supposed to
have back to back experiences like that, all that.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Stuff I think we did. And Tim Kates as well,
who books our guests and contributes. Of course, I think
we all did a great job covering the soccer. I
would like to pat ourselves on the back. I think
they're still going to be soccer, but without Mexico. And
now the Team USA has gone down and that's where
they went, That's where they're going.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Now we get behind England, I don't know, we get
behind Argentina.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I don't really like I don't want to do that
in the Swiss. I don't want to be like Mario
Lopez who one day as Latino, in the next day
he's an Anglo.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
It's kind of like, you know, when you ride the
roller coaster and at the very end, there's that moment
when it just hits the brakes really hard and it
just racks your nuts. That's kind of what yesterday was like.
Everybody was saying that this this Belgian.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
They beat us five two, not a big game, don't
concentrate on that.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
No, no, And then when they're down to nothing, everyone's like,
you know, Belgian's been a real bugaboo for this team USA.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's like, wait a minute.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
I mean I was told not to worry about that
table that five too was no big deal.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It was just a friendly. There are different guys out
there now, yes, Kate's everybody's a soccer expert now right because.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
They watched the World Cup, Sir, I lean on the
people who are actually soccer experts year round, former players.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They told us not to worry about the five to
one or whatever those people told.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
The immediate reaction after the game last night on Fox,
Harley Lloyd just destroyed him in to the USA and
then he's about to burst. And then Sidney LaRue was
a former women's national player, Sidney LaRue, she got after him.
And there's a video of Christian Polishes talking about his
ankle injury where he says, now I get time to rest,
(15:17):
so I'll be okay. She wrote, he rusted the entire
World Cup. Yeah, but this is a women's team going
after him.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Sidney LaRue says, hey, you're uncool.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's right, Polisic.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Now you get time to rest my ankle for what
you big rest for what? That's world comes in four
years and it's not in the United States when we
can watch the game at five pm, not two am.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
There's a real letdown. It was was a real letdown, it.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Was, But at least we didn't go all in.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I mean, look how Mexico went down. They went down fighting,
They went down with spirit.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Much like on the Mexican American warrants, right, but ej
went down, But they went down valley.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They took some people down with him.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Now a few us. What did they take down now?
Nobody Pulisic's crampy leg.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
How about Egypt today?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
A couple of red cards on the bench, a couple
of yellow cards, the system goes wanting to fight the referee.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's how you go out this God damn it. This
was an inside job.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
The team that FIFA clearly wanted Argentina to advance.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
This was a travesty, This was an injustice.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Really.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I mean that dude went to freaking one hundred miles
an hour in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, I don't you know, we we don't often live
in the everyfore, in this ecosystem, as they would say
at the ramps we move into the We don't live
in the ecosystem of the World Cup and FIFA and
political corruption and all the different things that are involved.
I didn't know it was political. I didn't know there
was a political decision to have it in Katar. I
(16:43):
mean I just thought, Hey, let's go to this bedouin
desert wasteland.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's one hundred and thirty degrees in the summer, with.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
All these miserable people that aren't even from here, and
let's have the World Cup. I didn't think that was
politically motivated at all.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Here's the thing, though, we can't have the World Cup
in July, Well, that's when we always have it.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, if we do it in Katar, we're gonna have
to have it in Novema.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Everybody's gonna die.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, that sounds totally feasible.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Let's do that. They don't change things for politics, though, Man,
they never.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Never Now we are we are your home of the
World Cup. They still have to We still have Early Holland,
we still have England and Launchentina.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A lot further than they used the hell, they.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Always make it to the round in sixteen, they don't advance.
I think we missed the World Cup like eight years
ago all together, you know, so it feels like, you know, this.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Is kind of cool.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
But yeah, the ride did come to an abrupt stop, and.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Everybody loved that coach with his fishing shirt, right. But
you know what, after the game and I saw that
they lost to yeah, coach poach. I saw that they lost.
And not only did I see that they lost, I
saw that they were humiliated. As you guys pointed out,
I thought, you know what, maybe there was a red
flag when they lost a Turkey. That's what I thought
on the back of my mind, even though they acted
(17:55):
like that game didn't matter. They let those Turks with
their stupid hats and their curvy swords party all over us.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Well, they scored in the last minute for their only
goals of the tournament and their only win, right, and then.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
They got back on the plane to Constantinople. Laughing at
us drinking their stupid Turkish coffee. But you know they did.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
They did manage to beat a Bosnia hurts Goovina team
with only ten people for forty minutes. It's like that
was pretty impressive way to dig it out.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You know, the Taman they've only been a country since
ninety two. Bosnia hurts a Goovine o.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Ye. Still the Yugoslavs, you know, they've always played good soccer.
I mean, to me, you split them up into Croatian Bosnia.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I think to me, we pumped it up too much.
I think now, looking back, I feel like an idiot. Nah,
we wear the jersey.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We did the right thing.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I didn't wear the jersey like to the remote remote.
You know, if I had done that, we were both
like arm and arm in that jersey.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That would be terrible. Look at us now, we didn't like.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Oh, I think we did the right thing. The people
that pooh pooed it and were cheering for this, they're
the bad ones. They're the bad guys.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well, speaking of that wins vast A coming out.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Those are those are the villains. Now they will rub
it in our face and say.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Oh, you told you idiots got all excited, and this
was all.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
It was always. You saw Seattle last night. It was
bigger than the Super Bowl parade.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I saw that white dude with the side park punch
that Egyptian or the the Belgian guy right in the face.
That was bad sportsmanship. No, you don't want to look
for it. They don't want to fight in Belgium, so
they got ran right over. For God's sakes, you know,
they didn't put up much of a impediment, you know,
on a march into France.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Come on through, Roman. The Roman Empire didn't burn down
our cool medieval buildings though. Check it out. We still
got them.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Come on through. We'll be back orders right there.

Tim Kates says I've got it on good authority, it's
gonna happen, I feel good about it. That's true.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
All right, Matt, Well, it's time for a little baseball talk.
I'll put you out. I will put you out time.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
This is the flip top story of the day.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
There's been so much socking and bocking and all the
talking head shows trying to act like they know about
the soccer history between Spain and Argentina. It's a rough one,
but at least it's all over now and we can
just talk about the normal things that we talk about.
As you know, Matt, there is a heat advisory in
(21:32):
the city of Los Angeles happening right now. I don't
know if that is a new thing. I don't remember
it being really hot back when I was younger, and
they were like, it's our heat advisory. But now they
tell us there's a heat advisory, and there's a big
heat advisory over the weekend in a lot of our
East Coast cities, Matt, as you know, and in Washington,
(21:54):
d C. There's one of the worst ones, and that
brings our attention to our place of well. I think
if there was another team that we could support, it
would be the Curly W's because we're Americans and down
on Pennsylvania Avenue, you know, it is the land of
the Curly W's. And at Nationals Park over the weekend
(22:15):
in DC, it was so hot.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He's so hot.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
No, you're supposed to say how hot was it?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
How hot was it?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
And a couple of Nationals and Pirates relievers took the
advantage of the free ride from the bullpen to the
mound in the golf cart that shaped like a National's
freaking helmet.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Beautiful times have gone.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Back to the late seventies.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Come on. Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Johann Ramirez and Dennis Santana
used it. National rookie relief pitcher made his Major league
debut on the cart. Eddie Yean. How do I know
about this because the Super Super seventy Sports tweeted out
Eddie yean, you sweet bester. The baseball hat cart is
(23:08):
not new to the Washington Nationals, though Matt. Since twenty eighteen,
they had been using it in the land of the
Curly w The Nationals are one of three MLB teams
currently using currently the cart, if if pitchers choose to use.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It, yeah, we don't see it.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
The other two are very interesting Diamondbacks, which has a retractable.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Roof, right so when it's too hot, that thing's closed anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And the Tigers. Those are the two. The Detroit Tigers
will also give you a ride in the cart. Well, Matt,
you know motor city. They love vehicles in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Great point.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
The bullpen carts used to be league wide. As you said, Matt,
they peaked in popularity in the nineteen seventies and eighties,
and then because people felt stupid, they actually declined, becoming
a rare sight in the MLB by the nineties.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Does this athlete need a two hundred foot ride from
spot to spot?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You bet you're ass he does well.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Specific casualties, Matt. The Yankees Dotson turned Toyota Celica cart
which was a sponsorship bang sure like Verizon here that
was retired amid the team's broader move away from the concept.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Nothing against Nissan, but I think we all preferred.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Dotson, even though you're a you grew up a Cubs guy, Matt,
and not a White Sox. The White Sox Chrysler LeBaron
cart for nineteen eighty one, come on, dropped that top
which pitchers refused to ride, and Fance Pelton with.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Garbage that checks out.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Is one that comes to mind. And the Mariners, we
talked about this one earlier this year. The Mariners MS
Relief tugboat cart in nineteen eighty two, which no player
ever rode and they were extremely insulted by and was
scrapped within a week after the player the reliever led
(25:03):
boycott the last team.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
That's a real bummer if you're like in the marketing
department and they accept your idea and you're like, hey,
you know, anybody.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Got this right?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
We build this boat.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Look, mom, dad, they took my idea and they built
the boat.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But there's even an anchor on the side, and all
of a sudden, it was like this, Uh, the players
didn't want it, mom. They're sending me back to the
hot dog cart. The last team to use one before
the modern revival, now matt because everybody's so soft and
wants to write a card to the mound is Milwaukee,
which phased out its motorcycle and sidecar. Oh geez in
(25:41):
nineteen ninety five. I don't remember that one.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Well, Wisconsin the home of Harley Davidson. Yea, so that
makes sense, but I still don't remember.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I remember.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
I can't imagine being a pitcher and getting into a sidecar.
It's not like those things are spacehous like.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Robin right did not know that. I remember in Milwaukee
where they gave Kareem abdul jabbarro Yeah, on his retirement tour,
and we're going to get the Lebron James retirement tour.
Who knows what they'll give him in Memphis. Maybe a
big middle finger.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
A chop to the neck.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Now back. The Nats brought this back right before COVID
and it's a great story. After the Nats had used
existing staffers as makeshift drivers when the bullpen cart debuted
in twenty eighteen, they decided to do.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It right hire a professional driver.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Well. In the twenty nineteen season, they held an open.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Casting call, we need a wheelman.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Washington became the third MLB team to bring back the
bullpen cart. With the Diamondbacks and Tigers. They launched the
throwback trend, but the applications posting drew four hundred and
thirty two responses, a huge number which was compared to
the three hundred candidates who trickled in over three weeks
(27:01):
for the team's racing Presidents tryouts. You know they have
that as well.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Right, but you know, you got to be athletic. You
gotta be comfortable. It's one hundred degrees out there, You're
in the felt suit. This is like, man, I'm just
gonna kick it and screw around on the front seat
of a cart that nobody wants to get a ride
in anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
No, they want to ride though now. The pool matt
was whittled down in twenty nineteen to twenty one finalists
who showed up to Nationals Park. And this is the
best part, I believe, to drive an obstacle course guarded
by a very literal Teddy Roosevelt mascot. Applicants drove a
(27:38):
generic cart top speed eight miles per hour versus the
real carts twenty miles per hour through a path shaped
like the team's curly W logo. Okay, weaving around cones
and mannequin players while also avoiding a movable Teddy Roosevelt.
The best guy finished in under a minute and safety
(28:01):
did matter more than speed. The gig itself was builled
as driving the WGL Energy Bullpen Park Cart at Washington
Nationals Park during all home games.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
So I would think that if you had obstacles in
your way on a game day, we've got serious problems
at the ballpark. Like there have been some serious issues
that have led to my path from the bullpen to
the mound being filled with obstacles that I must avoid
for player safety concerns.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
You're right, it's probably not something you would expect to happen.
But you still when you get on a plane, the
flight attendants go through all the stuff and the oxygen
bang and all that. Right, you have to prepare for
the worst. But my question is this, man, I mean,
we're here at Dodger Stadium. Chavez Ravine gets hotter than
a hot help Pam all the time. It's hot in
(28:55):
the summer here.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Except when you have that small layer, Bob Nightdale, you know,
then you get a little bit of cool wet.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, that was actually a marine layer, Bob, but we
do have smog. But what you were referring to, there
was a marine layer. Bah Nightingale, a USA today fabulous
friend of the show, but we do mock him for
his social media posts from time to time. But I'm
asking the question, Matt, and I'm asking it honestly. Do
you think this could be employed once again at Dodger Stadium?
(29:20):
It was never employed at Dodger Stadium for what I understand, well,
but do you think it could be employed at Dodger
Stadium for you know, like a Tanner Scott or somebody
like that who might be a little tired and needs
a ride to the bullpen.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
I am sitting right behind you, and as I gaze
out on the field at Dodger Stadium, I not only
see the replica Diamond Vision billboards, but just in front
of those, I see the mini replica Diamond Vision billboards.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, and just.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Below that, I see in each outfield quadrant six permanent
banners affixed to the out field wall.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
What you're saying is maybe a sponsorship opportunity.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
It feels like if there's a sponsorship opportunity that the
current state of the there was a time would suggest
when the O'Malley's on this team, they would not sell
anything the outfield.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
They had some you know, the seventy six was there
and all that stuff, but they did not sell a
lot of these outfield billboards. But but you're right, Matt,
times have changed, and maybe it's time to put Sweet
James on a cart.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
I mean, I am looking inside the bullpen from where
we're sitting, and it says beyond real Estate Sam TV,
like the.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Inside wall, are you right the home bullpen?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I never noticed that before. The visitors have a seventy
six over there.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Right, So I got a feeling, I mean, we got
freaking Southern California Pipe Trades District Council sixteen getting some
action here in the outfield on the digital board below
the mini diamond vision below, the sort of mini diamond
vision below the actual diamond vision might be to look into.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I mean, they've had ice Cube driving a lowrider around
for the last couple celebrations.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
I mere clearly maybe the ice Cube. I mean, he
can support an automobile. That's been you said it, that's
been proven. It's supported ice cubes lowrider, so it can
support a golf cart.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Maybe they bring ice Cube, does it in a low rider?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Now? That would be sweet.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Could you can sponsor that too? It doesn't have to
be a cart.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
You know, the Dodgers could probably double up sponsors.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
You can say this call to the bullpen, brought to
you by Verizon, and then when he comes out of
the bullpen, shoul.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Get a car dealership.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Thanks, Tim, You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Way to work it in, Tim, just see for idea
seamless man seamless. You know you could you could rotate
the celebrity too, because you are in southern California. The
Dodgers are quite the draw for the Hollywood types. And
now you have a celebrity driver of the bullpen cart.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Just something to think about if they're bringing it back
in Washington and using it now because of the heat.
We all know the softness of the generations below us
and how people aren't willing to walk places or job places,
or really go to the Carls Junior and buy your
own food. You got to door dash it and have
some guy leave it on your doorstep. You don't even
want to have him hand it to you. You just
(32:12):
want to leave it, leave it on the doorstep and
go away so I don't have to look at you,
and you make me uncomfortable. I mean, in that regard,
our time is changed, and I think maybe it's time
to bring back the cart. We never had the cart,
but bring at least Darny Moreno could sell a cart
down at Angels Stadium, right.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
I think people get awfully angry. You know, those people
are fired up as it is. I think much like
the White Sox and the white trash style siders, So
you just gotta get pelted. I mean, like, imagine if
you did the celebrity thing, you could have like, hey,
it's Chris Kardashian's security guard. Boyfriend guy who's driving the
car right with Bookie Betts, right, So you can't say
anything bad about that kind of it. He's got an
(32:51):
end he can draw, right, So maybe we're not going
to talk to you on five o'clock.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Now, Matt, what happens to that security guards for Expresso
martiniz deep by the seventh Innia When you're looking to
get Alex Vessia that bullpen.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
He's gonna be out there and bibing and all the
caffeine with the bullpens guy.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
He's swerving back and forth to get to the mound.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Listen to me, Owen, you better drive you straight out
there on freaking.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Out Well, you know what, then it's another opportunity for
an advertising for an advertiser that weirdo a holes.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Have idea, have an OK guy.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Unless you're in the handcuffs.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That would be all for the bullpen card.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
But then again, I'm an old man and that was
a different time, and the bullpen cart was freaking cool.
When they had that Pirate's bullpen cart, the Reds bullpen,
the Mets one was incredible.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
We looked into it, you know, I saw the tweet,
the tweet from Super seventy Sports and it said Eddie, yean,
she's sweet past sweet, best MLB debut on the cart.
I bet the guys were like, you're not gonna do
your MLB debut on the cart, Eddie. You wouldn't do that.
Oh yeah, So what a great moment. And maybe it's
(34:04):
time to consider you know, I'm considering making sweet James
buy me a golf cart that I can drive around,
you know, wrapped in petros and money show commercials around
the South Bay and just you know, maybe put two
twelves and too well the ideas.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Yeah, yeah, because they do have those those souped up
golf carts with the spinner rims and the big wolfers
and the high end luxury seating.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I could see that happening. What was the it into pks.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Now, yeah, no, it is we have a we have
a studio audience that is more interested in the soccer
game that the US isn't playing in than they are
great sports talk. Yes, don't think we're gonna bring you
people down there to talk to Mookie beats. Not after
you've embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
No chance we'll be back.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
That's say when we come back, I say, wants to
do three fifty coming up?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Or are we going down? I have to go down
to the field, so I'll take the mic down. You
guys stay up here.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's nice. I'm not going down there until I have
to talk to until I'm getting cocked again by Mookie beats.
But give me one of those cuckwater drinks while you're
down there with you. Is that what it's?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I think it's cutwater.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
All right. We'll be back with more pets and money.
That's more commercials on five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I watch you drinking? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You sit in the chair at the hotel while I
drink it the bed. We'll be back. Stay with us
on AM I seventy It's Dodger Baseball. Don't rushing movie?
You bet, David Basset, I'll join it US.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Southern California's most listened to sports talk show. This is
Petro Money on demand.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
I Trust you Money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, your home of the back
to back World Series. Champion Dodgers got Game two of
their series against the Rocky East tonight. Justin Robleski on
the mine with the first pitch at seven ten pm,
and we are live at Dodger Stadium as we speak.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
That's right, we are here at Dodger Stadium. There is
some interesting Dodger history with the cart that we will
get into a little bit later. But joining us right
now from the field before we talk to Mookie Betts
allegedly and Dalton Rushing. Brought to you by Verizon Wireless.
It is time for our hero when it comes to
(36:17):
Dodger information and being connected to the baseball team. David Vassis.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Is with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vass Report with David Vasse, brought to you.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
By Downy Hyundai. David Vase enjoying the lengthy homestand before
the All Star break, really holding court down there on
the field, sitting next to his running mate on Marongo
Casino Dodgers on deck, Tim Kaits leaning on the dugout rail, Dave,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
I'm doing great, Petros way to paint that picture on
a beautiful day at Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Dave. We have Dalton Rushing on a little later and
a little bit of action last night with the guy
and Mickey Moniac or the other guy they got all
allin Carrick, Yeah, they got a little riled up. You know,
I kind of like, I'm not kind. I really like
that Dalton Rushing is a fiery guy, an emotional guy,
and I think it's a nice balance for this team
(37:19):
that has a lot of really measured Freddy Freeman types.
Am I wrong? No? I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
I think it's good for this team to be uncomfortable
at times. It's good to have a guy that cares
as much as Dalton Rushing does.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
He's getting a.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Huge opportunity here with Will Smith being out over a
month and he's done, you know, all the other stuff
that's gone viral has taken away. How good he's been
offensively and defensively for the Dodgers, And you know, I
can understand this. I feel like he's one of those players.
When he's on your side, you love him. When he's
on the other side, you hate him. He's one of
(37:53):
those type of guys. And a lot of times, you know,
we see in baseball the political correctness like we do
in life, and a guy that isn't going to conform
is refreshing.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Davey played damn near a perfect game last night. Eric
Lauer pitched a great game. Of course, A big part
of that ously it got away from Tanner Scott in
the night. But going to that, the thing that he
probably doesn't want to talk about. He'd rather you talk
about his hits and his game winning hit. But what
was what was that guy's issue because he said after
the game that he wasn't, you know, barking at Dalton
Rushing and that it escalated for no reason. What was
(38:26):
the whole reason behind that that conflict?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Yeah, I agree with Colling Kerrick there, Rushing just needed
to ignore whatever he was saying a Mickey moniac. Who
was the on deck hitter. He was directing whatever he
was saying a moniac, and Rushing flew off the handle
right there, and it just it just felt like, you know,
it was an awkward slote and awkward play where Carrick's
(38:51):
foot got caught underneath Rushing's foot and it just looked awkward.
And maybe he said something to that respect, but obviously
maybe Rushing misheard what he said, and by that point
in time it was too late. Because my understanding talking
to some of the Rockies players, Kerrig is one of
the tougher guys on their team. So he is their
(39:11):
version of Dalton Rushing. I'll just put it that way.
Speaker 6 (39:14):
Tonight, you got Justin Robleski on the mound. We already
talked about the All Star situation not included Andy. Pat
has made it in a lot of the five Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Gonna be there.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
But maybe is this another opportunity for him to maybe
sell himself for the All Star Game. David, he goes
out there and throws another gem.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I think he sold himself already. Matt.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
He's in rarefied air with ten wins and era at
two to eighty. Today, Major League Baseball announced that three
pitchers have replaced Jacob Mazerowski, Max Meyer, and Paul Skens.
Braxton Ashcraft of the Pirates replaces Skins. You kind of
feel like the Pirates needed a representative, so that made sense.
(39:55):
Jesus Lozardo instead of Zach Wheeler replaced one of those
guys in sidey Riley O'Brien, who's having a good year
for the Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
And if you look at the roster for.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
The National League, not a lot of relievers, so that
could have been the reason why. But I wouldn't want
to be the Rockies tonight because Justin Robleski is certainly
going to be extra focused to prove that he belongs
on this team.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
And look, even Yama Moto.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Won't be able to pitch because he's going to pitch
too close to the All Star Games. So there's still
a chance that Robleski replaces Yamamoto on the staff.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
The one and only David Vassey on our show at
Dodger Stadium, having a great time and now feeling extra
confident because for all practice, at practical practical purposes, the
World Cup is over in the United States. Wa was
never a proponent. There goes my nap.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Times for shame, for shame days.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Have you been fighting with people about this within your
circle at Dodgers Stadium and that the players and people
like this? Have you been anti World Cup to everybody?
I mean there's a lot of foreign players. I'm nice
that they're excited about the soccer. This is taking the stamp.
This isn't performative. I'm telling you. Some of the best.
Speaker 5 (41:14):
Naps I've had have been in the last month. Great
white noise. You know how you put the white noise
on for your baby, Well, you put on the World
Cup for me. Around twelve thirty after lunch. Oh, what
a great way or that before I get to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
What if your beloved Italy had made it? You need
to tell me, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
It's been ACTI climactic.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, because they didn't make the damn World in eight years.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
They haven't made it. Yes, you are like an Italian.
I remember your Italian team's totally stranger. That's right, Toti.
Wait a minute, I just remember that. I remember Baggio
back in the day this bullet. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
By the way, Boggio doing a book signing in New York.
When I'm out there, I'm hopeful to see the great
Roberto Baggio.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Good.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Let's see what goten. We've now figured it out.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
The fact that that Italy has not made it in
eight years is why Davis checked out of the one.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
I don't know why you didn't get behind either. Huh.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Tony Miola is no longer USA's goalie, so that's why
I'm out.
Speaker 6 (42:13):
No Mookie in the lineup tonight, Dave, but man, talk
about shaking off a slump.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
He is now one of the.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
Best hitters in baseball, and I think you feel pretty
comfortable about him making the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
He's the guy that everybody wants to see and movie.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
Yeah, I don't think this year. He's not an All
Star this year.
Speaker 6 (42:29):
But that's what we were talking about yesterday, like do
you want to see the stars or do you want
to see the guys that performed in the first half.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
I want to see the stars that performed in the
first half. I don't think you reward a guy in
the two twenties, two thirties for the first month and
a guy that missed six weeks and by many Machado,
even Mookie Betts one year, I believe it was twenty
one or something where he bowed out after being selected.
So you know, he he he's a guy that holds
himself to a higher regard. It's not going to allow
(42:57):
the fans to give him a free pass.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
All right, Dave, Well, we appreciate you. We're looking forward
to an angry Robleski tonight. We know that you enjoyed
last night's game, even though you got home late. It
was a great Dodger talk.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
It was awesome, had a great time asked rushing the
postgame questions that needed to be asked, and I hope
you you refer to those questions in your interview too.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
You know we won't, Dave, We're all softballs.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Well so all right, that interview fell in our lap.
But we are gonna have Rushia you ever surf. We
are gonna have to take that one. We are gonna
have to fight a little for Mookie bats. David didn't
quite just fall in our lap. Oh sure, we might
have to get out of the car and walk into
the store. Okay, the great David Masse Spectrum Sports net LA.
(43:45):
You can have these guys downy Honday, shut up, take
these clones downy Hyundai, and of course MLB Network our
hero David Masse joining us next nobody. We'll do the
word number song of the day, but still to come.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Make us your top pre set on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Solo songs, let others praise ancient times. I'm glad I
(01:05):
was born in these on me you.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Spetro sand Money AM five seventy LA Sports live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app and live from Dodgers Stadium the
Gallpin Ford Broadcast booth to our left. We are here
for a special occasion. Very excited about the next three
hours of the broadcast. It'll be Dodgers Rockies first pitch
just after seventy ten, Dodgers on deck at six. But
(01:30):
between now and then we have got three hours of
great sports talk that will likely at least we know
some say for certain.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We'll contell you know I mean, there's a lot of conversations,
a lot of speculation about whose conversation will be happening
and whether or not it'll be intimate or not. But
the Petros and Money Show is here at Dodger Stadium today,
courtesy of Verizon, as we will be efforting. Yes, yes,
there are some stragglers here in the suite. It is
(02:00):
our normal Vin Scully suite. We have been pushed down
down further toward the edge. And Matt, it's almost like
we started out in Lot G many years ago. When
we started doing the show here for.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The Dodgers live from the parking we used.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
To from the parking lot, frying on the black top.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They weren't sure about it.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Like loser Carnies, and we were like, hey, lot G.
And it was sad, but that's what we were. And
then they moved us into the stadium and we were.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well prior to moving us in.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I would like to say we sold Lot G so
well we did so that they sent us Vin Scully
to Lot G at one point. You guys are so
good in love, We're gonna send Vin Scully.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
This, Matt, that's not true. It was a sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Related that's not what I heard, It's exactly what.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It was, a Mercedes sponsorship. Then they moved us right here,
like right under where that Cutwater sign is.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's here, would be the left field bull.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, the left field bull where Cutwater sign. And that
is a drink that gives you deep indigestion and won't
get you drunk. And then then we were there for
a long time.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Perelli kicked us outreservily tired, display moved in.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We were moved out a.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Very short dalliance, like a relationship you had in college
that you barely remember. Like a month. They sent us
to the left field pavilion over here. I think that's
the Sussios and we spent.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Some time there, Yeah, on the concourse, the upper concourse
of the left field pavilion, where we met the adult
weirdos that show up early steel home runs Battye Badness
balls from young children.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You can see him from afar. That was that experience.
And then they moved us to our suite, into a
suite which is now sho heo tawny sweet. His dog
poops all over that suite.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Now, I don't believe we know that that is not information.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Where is the dog it's a four hour game. What
are they gonna do with the dog? The dog is
in there, you know, he's defecating the point I don't
know that they moved us out of the suite and
they pushed us down further, and we were kind of
happy about that because it was Vin Scully's suite and
they had all the Vin Scully stuff on the walls,
and gosh, Vin Scully. You know, we were like, that's
a guy that came and visited us in Lot G
(04:14):
back when we were paupers and we had, you know,
just rags to cover us and we were begging in
the streets and Lot G and and now we're in
that suite. But now we've been moved even further and
I think our next stop is back to Lot G.
Like it's kind of sad. It's like a whole loop.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
We are making the rocks.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know. And they say that in broadcasting, they say,
you know, you better be good to people on your
way up because you're gonna see the same people on
the way down ahole. And now look at us, we're
all the ways here to the edge, Matt, and the
next the next stop is right back in the lot
We could see it from here. You see it there
on your screen.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We can see it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's right there.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It is right behind the security benefit in Coca Cola billboard.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
However, it's like.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Taking a guy that's been in prison like and driving
him by Pelican bad Like, Hey remember that? Remember that guy?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
How about that? You don't want to go back there?
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Uh, this is a special occasion. Our friends at Verizon,
all the VIPs here reminded, keeping us from the lot exactly,
locking your low price for three years so you can
save big. Visit a SoCal Verizon store today. I believe
it is a temporary move. I think much like our
house is being tented and we have been asked to
move somewhere for forty eight hours, and then the tent
(05:26):
team will be complete, the termites will all be well moved,
and we will be able to move back.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They said about Perelli, and that's what they said about
left Field, And that's what they said about Show Hayes
poop poop sweet and the dog poop sweet. That's what
they said about Vin Scully sweet. I'm just you know, Matt, You're.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
It's going to be a glorious day of petros and money.
Great sports talk here in Blue Heaven.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well, why don't you tell everybody what we got, Matt.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, what we know we have is a conversation. It's
talking about Matt.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
What do you mean.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
What we know we have is at the in the
five o'clock hour, a conversation in with Dalton Rushing that
is a guarantee. What we are efforting is a conversation
with rookie Bets. Well, well, we were told, we were
told that it was a certainty, and now and look,
(06:15):
he is not playing today. And I'm looking at these two,
the backups, the depth on the Dodgers shortstop charts. They
are taking some infield right now, and I'm not gonna lie.
I'm a little concerned about who's going to be playing
short staff today based on what infield looks like right now.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's the Rockies in town, that's true. But Matt is
referring to two very young children taking infield right now,
and I don't think that they're going to be at
second and first respectively, regardless of well of Mookie bets status.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't know why they're taking ground balls.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Then you have to ask the groundskeeper, Matt. But I
I was excited that we were going to talk to
Mookie Bets today, but also also skeptical and trepidatious.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Yes, because we have we've had a schedule set in
the past.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You know, Charlie Brasten altered with the football that's us
and she's like, I'm not going to move it this time.
I'm not going to do it. And we're like, okay,
they'll no way you'll move the football because we're sponsored
by Verizon and that, and yet and yet I'm looking
up at the sky after having tried to kick the football.
So perhaps Mookie Bets will join us in the next.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Hour, and that's going to be setting that football down
again and perhaps to make our way down onto the
field and to take another swing, take another pass at
that football and decide whether we want to do it
twice in the same day. Yes, Kates, I have it
on good authority.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
That that Mookie Bets will be joining you guys at
five o'clock.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
So that will make that'll make them the field from
the field. Yes, that will make it a Dodger Power hour,
because we have already that Dalton Rushing will join us
in the five o'clock hour. That was already locked because
he wasn't playing today.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So we'll talk to Mookie Bets, and then we'll talk
to Dalton Rushing, and then we'll get to Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Goodnight, Iron sounds like a busy five o'clock hour to me,
it sounds like that rookie Bets, four time World Series
champ on the field on paper, Russian America's hero on
America's catcher.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
On paper, just like you're gonna go interview Mookie Betts
in the secret locker room area on paper.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Not available to the media. By the way, it sounds
like a great plan. But we did see We did
see Wan and Mookie walking in the outfield, and I
do believe there is communication between Tim Kats and wand
well because MOOKI does not is not playing today, it
is a day off.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We have full faith in Wan.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
And if he says I'm bringing Mookie up at five
and Mookie is now here, well, then.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The hell of a departure from zero percent.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
By the way, the two young kids on the field
right now are Miguel Rojas's children. Is I assume playing
shortstop tonight, but he's also hitting fung. Go to his
kids who are practicing taking infil right now.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't want to play either.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
If they do, okay, maybe they'll be able to fill in.
Know this that you can podcast the Petros and Money
Show at Petros and Money on the iHeartRadio app. It's
very easy. You can stream it live, you can podcast
it later. You can enjoy your life in great sports talk.
And this is not our only event of the week.
(09:10):
This is an event, but this is a very special
event that only the very special people. A very small
group by the way today from Verizon, a really well
healed group.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Not our only special event of the week, though, Matt,
we got a big event coming up. Mister mister Fletcher knows.
I see him bobbing his head over there. Everybody seems
to know that we have a big event coming up
on prime.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Second stop of the thirteenth. This is our thirteenth PMS

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Thirty one to ninety one East Lapalma is the address.

doing our summer tour stops at because it does have
ample room and an opportunity for us to really spread
out delicious food. Their pizza, their burgers are great, and
of course we have all of the prizes that come
with a PMS Summer tour stop, like Dodger tickets.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well, we're here at the Dodger game right now.

Right we're your home of the back to back World
Series champion Dodger so Rocks, we would have tickets, We
would have tickets. We will also have Dodger merchandise. At
September's we gave away a super cool like varsity jacket, jerseys, caps,

At a great venue, So we will see you at
Brewery X in Anaheim X marks the spot.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Yes, Tim Kakes, we'll all be able to watch Team
USA together play at noon on Friday and then yeah,
sell out that what.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
USA has been destroyed by Belgium.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They have gone down. Yes, where they were.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Going, Team USA went down and all of a sudden
that soccer hot air balloon that you could see on
the Santa Fe skyline just going by like all beautifully,
it sprung a leak and just started going straight down.
That's where you're going. See you on the ice Bompey.
(11:45):
Although it was a very exciting they went out fighting
last night.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They went well kicking and screaming and fighting about that
as well. One of the one of the worst matches
that we've seen Team USA play in quite some time, but.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Only looked a little bit like Charlie Brown trying to
kick a football.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
At least they're superstar though really delivered.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
You know, you can't put it on the back of
the best player on the team that he was not
up for the challenge. Certainly he you know, did everything
he possibly could. Yeah, to push the the US into the.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Round like the messis like the ronault, right, just like.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
We saw earlier today from MESSI you know, when the
game called for your best star, the stars delivered. Really
felt that way yesterday, so that was not the case.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I heard that right before the match. Somebody told team you,
I say, listen, these guys in Belgium, that's a medieval
country that the Romans didn't burn down. A lot of
those buildings are still there. You think you can beat that.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
You knew.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I have got a really bad cramp.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Someone got a cramp. Next thing you know, he's being
subbed out. And next thing you know, in the postgame presser,
he's just saying, well, now I get to relax, you know, you.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Know, now I get to relax. This is great, right,
I don't have to play on Friday. It's supposed to
be really hot out there in la.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It feels like a letdown. But it was a great ride.
I think everybody, you know, the sensational ride culmination in Seattle,
of all those fleshy white people walking down the street
having a great time, chanting USA, holding the flag, everybody
getting behind the country.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Great three weeks, everybody.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Taking a picture of them and their Team USA Jersey.
I think we did our due diligence blirt with junkles.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
We talked to Rogo yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
We talked to Rogo. We talked to WLA twice. We
got into it. We had fun, We embraced soccer culture.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Had the lead in of Team USA winning going into
our September's PMS Summer tour stop. We were supposed to
have back to back experiences like that, all that.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Stuff I think we did. And Tim Kates as well,
who books our guests and contributes. Of course, I think
we all did a great job covering the soccer. I
would like to pat ourselves on the back. I think
they're still going to be soccer, but without Mexico. And
now the Team USA has gone down and that's where
they went, That's where they're going.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Now we get behind England, I don't know, we get
behind Argentina.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I don't really like I don't want to do that
in the Swiss. I don't want to be like Mario
Lopez who one day as Latino, in the next day
he's an Anglo.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
It's kind of like, you know, when you ride the
roller coaster and at the very end, there's that moment
when it just hits the brakes really hard and it
just racks your nuts. That's kind of what yesterday was like.
Everybody was saying that this this Belgian.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
They beat us five two, not a big game, don't
concentrate on that.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
No, no, And then when they're down to nothing, everyone's like,
you know, Belgian's been a real bugaboo for this team USA.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's like, wait a minute.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
I mean I was told not to worry about that
table that five too was no big deal.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It was just a friendly. There are different guys out
there now, yes, Kate's everybody's a soccer expert now right because.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
They watched the World Cup, Sir, I lean on the
people who are actually soccer experts year round, former players.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They told us not to worry about the five to
one or whatever those people told.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
The immediate reaction after the game last night on Fox,
Harley Lloyd just destroyed him in to the USA and
then he's about to burst. And then Sidney LaRue was
a former women's national player, Sidney LaRue, she got after him.
And there's a video of Christian Polishes talking about his
ankle injury where he says, now I get time to rest,
(15:17):
so I'll be okay. She wrote, he rusted the entire
World Cup. Yeah, but this is a women's team going
after him.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Sidney LaRue says, hey, you're uncool.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's right, Polisic.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Now you get time to rest my ankle for what
you big rest for what? That's world comes in four
years and it's not in the United States when we
can watch the game at five pm, not two am.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
There's a real letdown. It was was a real letdown, it.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Was, But at least we didn't go all in.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I mean, look how Mexico went down. They went down fighting,
They went down with spirit.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Much like on the Mexican American warrants, right, but ej
went down, But they went down valley.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They took some people down with him.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Now a few us. What did they take down now?
Nobody Pulisic's crampy leg.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
How about Egypt today?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
A couple of red cards on the bench, a couple
of yellow cards, the system goes wanting to fight the referee.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's how you go out this God damn it. This
was an inside job.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
The team that FIFA clearly wanted Argentina to advance.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
This was a travesty, This was an injustice.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Really.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I mean that dude went to freaking one hundred miles
an hour in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, I don't you know, we we don't often live
in the everyfore, in this ecosystem, as they would say
at the ramps we move into the We don't live
in the ecosystem of the World Cup and FIFA and
political corruption and all the different things that are involved.
I didn't know it was political. I didn't know there
was a political decision to have it in Katar. I
(16:43):
mean I just thought, Hey, let's go to this bedouin
desert wasteland.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's one hundred and thirty degrees in the summer, with.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
All these miserable people that aren't even from here, and
let's have the World Cup. I didn't think that was
politically motivated at all.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Here's the thing, though, we can't have the World Cup
in July, Well, that's when we always have it.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, if we do it in Katar, we're gonna have
to have it in Novema.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Everybody's gonna die.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, that sounds totally feasible.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Let's do that. They don't change things for politics, though, Man,
they never.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Never Now we are we are your home of the
World Cup. They still have to We still have Early Holland,
we still have England and Launchentina.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A lot further than they used the hell, they.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Always make it to the round in sixteen, they don't advance.
I think we missed the World Cup like eight years
ago all together, you know, so it feels like, you know, this.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Is kind of cool.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
But yeah, the ride did come to an abrupt stop, and.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Everybody loved that coach with his fishing shirt, right. But
you know what, after the game and I saw that
they lost to yeah, coach poach. I saw that they lost.
And not only did I see that they lost, I
saw that they were humiliated. As you guys pointed out,
I thought, you know what, maybe there was a red
flag when they lost a Turkey. That's what I thought
on the back of my mind, even though they acted
(17:55):
like that game didn't matter. They let those Turks with
their stupid hats and their curvy swords party all over us.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Well, they scored in the last minute for their only
goals of the tournament and their only win, right, and then.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
They got back on the plane to Constantinople. Laughing at
us drinking their stupid Turkish coffee. But you know they did.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
They did manage to beat a Bosnia hurts Goovina team
with only ten people for forty minutes. It's like that
was pretty impressive way to dig it out.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You know, the Taman they've only been a country since
ninety two. Bosnia hurts a Goovine o.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Ye. Still the Yugoslavs, you know, they've always played good soccer.
I mean, to me, you split them up into Croatian Bosnia.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I think to me, we pumped it up too much.
I think now, looking back, I feel like an idiot. Nah,
we wear the jersey.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We did the right thing.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I didn't wear the jersey like to the remote remote.
You know, if I had done that, we were both
like arm and arm in that jersey.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That would be terrible. Look at us now, we didn't like.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Oh, I think we did the right thing. The people
that pooh pooed it and were cheering for this, they're
the bad ones. They're the bad guys.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well, speaking of that wins vast A coming out.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Those are those are the villains. Now they will rub
it in our face and say.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Oh, you told you idiots got all excited, and this
was all.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
It was always. You saw Seattle last night. It was
bigger than the Super Bowl parade.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I saw that white dude with the side park punch
that Egyptian or the the Belgian guy right in the face.
That was bad sportsmanship. No, you don't want to look
for it. They don't want to fight in Belgium, so
they got ran right over. For God's sakes, you know,
they didn't put up much of a impediment, you know,
on a march into France.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Come on through, Roman. The Roman Empire didn't burn down
our cool medieval buildings though. Check it out. We still
got them.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Come on through. We'll be back orders right there.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
We'll do the flip top story of the day when
we return. We're in the Verizon Wireless Suite at Dodger Stadium.

When we tells me that it's gonna happen, I have
zero percent confidence.

All right, Matt, Well, it's time for a little baseball talk.
I'll put you out. I will put you out time.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
This is the flip top story of the day.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
There's been so much socking and bocking and all the
talking head shows trying to act like they know about
the soccer history between Spain and Argentina. It's a rough one,
but at least it's all over now and we can
just talk about the normal things that we talk about.
As you know, Matt, there is a heat advisory in
(21:32):
the city of Los Angeles happening right now. I don't
know if that is a new thing. I don't remember
it being really hot back when I was younger, and
they were like, it's our heat advisory. But now they
tell us there's a heat advisory, and there's a big
heat advisory over the weekend in a lot of our
East Coast cities, Matt, as you know, and in Washington,
(21:54):
d C. There's one of the worst ones, and that
brings our attention to our place of well. I think
if there was another team that we could support, it
would be the Curly W's because we're Americans and down
on Pennsylvania Avenue, you know, it is the land of
the Curly W's. And at Nationals Park over the weekend
(22:15):
in DC, it was so hot.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He's so hot.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
No, you're supposed to say how hot was it?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
How hot was it?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
And a couple of Nationals and Pirates relievers took the
advantage of the free ride from the bullpen to the
mound in the golf cart that shaped like a National's
freaking helmet.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Beautiful times have gone.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Back to the late seventies.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Come on. Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Johann Ramirez and Dennis Santana
used it. National rookie relief pitcher made his Major league
debut on the cart. Eddie Yean. How do I know
about this because the Super Super seventy Sports tweeted out
Eddie yean, you sweet bester. The baseball hat cart is
(23:08):
not new to the Washington Nationals, though Matt. Since twenty eighteen,
they had been using it in the land of the
Curly w The Nationals are one of three MLB teams
currently using currently the cart, if if pitchers choose to use.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It, yeah, we don't see it.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
The other two are very interesting Diamondbacks, which has a retractable.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Roof, right so when it's too hot, that thing's closed anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And the Tigers. Those are the two. The Detroit Tigers
will also give you a ride in the cart. Well, Matt,
you know motor city. They love vehicles in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Great point.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
The bullpen carts used to be league wide. As you said, Matt,
they peaked in popularity in the nineteen seventies and eighties,
and then because people felt stupid, they actually declined, becoming
a rare sight in the MLB by the nineties.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Does this athlete need a two hundred foot ride from
spot to spot?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You bet you're ass he does well.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Specific casualties, Matt. The Yankees Dotson turned Toyota Celica cart
which was a sponsorship bang sure like Verizon here that
was retired amid the team's broader move away from the concept.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Nothing against Nissan, but I think we all preferred.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Dotson, even though you're a you grew up a Cubs guy, Matt,
and not a White Sox. The White Sox Chrysler LeBaron
cart for nineteen eighty one, come on, dropped that top
which pitchers refused to ride, and Fance Pelton with.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Garbage that checks out.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Is one that comes to mind. And the Mariners, we
talked about this one earlier this year. The Mariners MS
Relief tugboat cart in nineteen eighty two, which no player
ever rode and they were extremely insulted by and was
scrapped within a week after the player the reliever led
(25:03):
boycott the last team.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
That's a real bummer if you're like in the marketing
department and they accept your idea and you're like, hey,
you know, anybody.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Got this right?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
We build this boat.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Look, mom, dad, they took my idea and they built
the boat.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But there's even an anchor on the side, and all
of a sudden, it was like this, Uh, the players
didn't want it, mom. They're sending me back to the
hot dog cart. The last team to use one before
the modern revival, now matt because everybody's so soft and
wants to write a card to the mound is Milwaukee,
which phased out its motorcycle and sidecar. Oh geez in
(25:41):
nineteen ninety five. I don't remember that one.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Well, Wisconsin the home of Harley Davidson. Yea, so that
makes sense, but I still don't remember.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I remember.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
I can't imagine being a pitcher and getting into a sidecar.
It's not like those things are spacehous like.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Robin right did not know that. I remember in Milwaukee
where they gave Kareem abdul jabbarro Yeah, on his retirement tour,
and we're going to get the Lebron James retirement tour.
Who knows what they'll give him in Memphis. Maybe a
big middle finger.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
A chop to the neck.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Now back. The Nats brought this back right before COVID
and it's a great story. After the Nats had used
existing staffers as makeshift drivers when the bullpen cart debuted
in twenty eighteen, they decided to do.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It right hire a professional driver.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Well. In the twenty nineteen season, they held an open.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Casting call, we need a wheelman.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Washington became the third MLB team to bring back the
bullpen cart. With the Diamondbacks and Tigers. They launched the
throwback trend, but the applications posting drew four hundred and
thirty two responses, a huge number which was compared to
the three hundred candidates who trickled in over three weeks
(27:01):
for the team's racing Presidents tryouts. You know they have
that as well.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Right, but you know, you got to be athletic. You
gotta be comfortable. It's one hundred degrees out there, You're
in the felt suit. This is like, man, I'm just
gonna kick it and screw around on the front seat
of a cart that nobody wants to get a ride
in anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
No, they want to ride though now. The pool matt
was whittled down in twenty nineteen to twenty one finalists
who showed up to Nationals Park. And this is the
best part, I believe, to drive an obstacle course guarded
by a very literal Teddy Roosevelt mascot. Applicants drove a
(27:38):
generic cart top speed eight miles per hour versus the
real carts twenty miles per hour through a path shaped
like the team's curly W logo. Okay, weaving around cones
and mannequin players while also avoiding a movable Teddy Roosevelt.
The best guy finished in under a minute and safety
(28:01):
did matter more than speed. The gig itself was builled
as driving the WGL Energy Bullpen Park Cart at Washington
Nationals Park during all home games.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
So I would think that if you had obstacles in
your way on a game day, we've got serious problems
at the ballpark. Like there have been some serious issues
that have led to my path from the bullpen to
the mound being filled with obstacles that I must avoid
for player safety concerns.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
You're right, it's probably not something you would expect to happen.
But you still when you get on a plane, the
flight attendants go through all the stuff and the oxygen
bang and all that. Right, you have to prepare for
the worst. But my question is this, man, I mean,
we're here at Dodger Stadium. Chavez Ravine gets hotter than
a hot help Pam all the time. It's hot in
(28:55):
the summer here.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Except when you have that small layer, Bob Nightdale, you know,
then you get a little bit of cool wet.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, that was actually a marine layer, Bob, but we
do have smog. But what you were referring to, there
was a marine layer. Bah Nightingale, a USA today fabulous
friend of the show, but we do mock him for
his social media posts from time to time. But I'm
asking the question, Matt, and I'm asking it honestly. Do
you think this could be employed once again at Dodger Stadium?
(29:20):
It was never employed at Dodger Stadium for what I understand, well,
but do you think it could be employed at Dodger
Stadium for you know, like a Tanner Scott or somebody
like that who might be a little tired and needs
a ride to the bullpen.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
I am sitting right behind you, and as I gaze
out on the field at Dodger Stadium, I not only
see the replica Diamond Vision billboards, but just in front
of those, I see the mini replica Diamond Vision billboards.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, and just.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Below that, I see in each outfield quadrant six permanent
banners affixed to the out field wall.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
What you're saying is maybe a sponsorship opportunity.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
It feels like if there's a sponsorship opportunity that the
current state of the there was a time would suggest
when the O'Malley's on this team, they would not sell
anything the outfield.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
They had some you know, the seventy six was there
and all that stuff, but they did not sell a
lot of these outfield billboards. But but you're right, Matt,
times have changed, and maybe it's time to put Sweet
James on a cart.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
I mean, I am looking inside the bullpen from where
we're sitting, and it says beyond real Estate Sam TV,
like the.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Inside wall, are you right the home bullpen?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I never noticed that before. The visitors have a seventy
six over there.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Right, So I got a feeling, I mean, we got
freaking Southern California Pipe Trades District Council sixteen getting some
action here in the outfield on the digital board below
the mini diamond vision below, the sort of mini diamond
vision below the actual diamond vision might be to look into.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I mean, they've had ice Cube driving a lowrider around
for the last couple celebrations.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
I mere clearly maybe the ice Cube. I mean, he
can support an automobile. That's been you said it, that's
been proven. It's supported ice cubes lowrider, so it can
support a golf cart.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Maybe they bring ice Cube, does it in a low rider?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Now? That would be sweet.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Could you can sponsor that too? It doesn't have to
be a cart.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
You know, the Dodgers could probably double up sponsors.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
You can say this call to the bullpen, brought to
you by Verizon, and then when he comes out of
the bullpen, shoul.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Get a car dealership.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Thanks, Tim, You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Way to work it in, Tim, just see for idea
seamless man seamless. You know you could you could rotate
the celebrity too, because you are in southern California. The
Dodgers are quite the draw for the Hollywood types. And
now you have a celebrity driver of the bullpen cart.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Just something to think about if they're bringing it back
in Washington and using it now because of the heat.
We all know the softness of the generations below us
and how people aren't willing to walk places or job places,
or really go to the Carls Junior and buy your
own food. You got to door dash it and have
some guy leave it on your doorstep. You don't even
want to have him hand it to you. You just
(32:12):
want to leave it, leave it on the doorstep and
go away so I don't have to look at you,
and you make me uncomfortable. I mean, in that regard,
our time is changed, and I think maybe it's time
to bring back the cart. We never had the cart,
but bring at least Darny Moreno could sell a cart
down at Angels Stadium, right.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
I think people get awfully angry. You know, those people
are fired up as it is. I think much like
the White Sox and the white trash style siders, So
you just gotta get pelted. I mean, like, imagine if
you did the celebrity thing, you could have like, hey,
it's Chris Kardashian's security guard. Boyfriend guy who's driving the
car right with Bookie Betts, right, So you can't say
anything bad about that kind of it. He's got an
(32:51):
end he can draw, right, So maybe we're not going
to talk to you on five o'clock.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Now, Matt, what happens to that security guards for Expresso
martiniz deep by the seventh Innia When you're looking to
get Alex Vessia that bullpen.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
He's gonna be out there and bibing and all the
caffeine with the bullpens guy.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
He's swerving back and forth to get to the mound.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Listen to me, Owen, you better drive you straight out
there on freaking.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Out Well, you know what, then it's another opportunity for
an advertising for an advertiser that weirdo a holes.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Have idea, have an OK guy.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Unless you're in the handcuffs.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That would be all for the bullpen card.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
But then again, I'm an old man and that was
a different time, and the bullpen cart was freaking cool.
When they had that Pirate's bullpen cart, the Reds bullpen,
the Mets one was incredible.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
We looked into it, you know, I saw the tweet,
the tweet from Super seventy Sports and it said Eddie, yean,
she's sweet past sweet, best MLB debut on the cart.
I bet the guys were like, you're not gonna do
your MLB debut on the cart, Eddie. You wouldn't do that.
Oh yeah, So what a great moment. And maybe it's
(34:04):
time to consider you know, I'm considering making sweet James
buy me a golf cart that I can drive around,
you know, wrapped in petros and money show commercials around
the South Bay and just you know, maybe put two
twelves and too well the ideas.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Yeah, yeah, because they do have those those souped up
golf carts with the spinner rims and the big wolfers
and the high end luxury seating.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I could see that happening. What was the it into pks.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Now, yeah, no, it is we have a we have
a studio audience that is more interested in the soccer
game that the US isn't playing in than they are
great sports talk. Yes, don't think we're gonna bring you
people down there to talk to Mookie beats. Not after
you've embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
No chance we'll be back.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
That's say when we come back, I say, wants to
do three fifty coming up?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Or are we going down? I have to go down
to the field, so I'll take the mic down. You
guys stay up here.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's nice. I'm not going down there until I have
to talk to until I'm getting cocked again by Mookie beats.
But give me one of those cuckwater drinks while you're
down there with you. Is that what it's?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I think it's cutwater.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
All right. We'll be back with more pets and money.
That's more commercials on five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I watch you drinking? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You sit in the chair at the hotel while I
drink it the bed. We'll be back. Stay with us
on AM I seventy It's Dodger Baseball. Don't rushing movie?
You bet, David Basset, I'll join it US.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Southern California's most listened to sports talk show. This is
Petro Money on demand.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
I Trust you Money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, your home of the back
to back World Series. Champion Dodgers got Game two of
their series against the Rocky East tonight. Justin Robleski on
the mine with the first pitch at seven ten pm,
and we are live at Dodger Stadium as we speak.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
That's right, we are here at Dodger Stadium. There is
some interesting Dodger history with the cart that we will
get into a little bit later. But joining us right
now from the field before we talk to Mookie Betts
allegedly and Dalton Rushing. Brought to you by Verizon Wireless.
It is time for our hero when it comes to
(36:17):
Dodger information and being connected to the baseball team. David Vassis.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Is with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vass Report with David Vasse, brought to you.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
By Downy Hyundai. David Vase enjoying the lengthy homestand before
the All Star break, really holding court down there on
the field, sitting next to his running mate on Marongo
Casino Dodgers on deck, Tim Kaits leaning on the dugout rail, Dave,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
I'm doing great, Petros way to paint that picture on
a beautiful day at Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Dave. We have Dalton Rushing on a little later and
a little bit of action last night with the guy
and Mickey Moniac or the other guy they got all
allin Carrick, Yeah, they got a little riled up. You know,
I kind of like, I'm not kind. I really like
that Dalton Rushing is a fiery guy, an emotional guy,
and I think it's a nice balance for this team
(37:19):
that has a lot of really measured Freddy Freeman types.
Am I wrong? No? I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
I think it's good for this team to be uncomfortable
at times. It's good to have a guy that cares
as much as Dalton Rushing does.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
He's getting a.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Huge opportunity here with Will Smith being out over a
month and he's done, you know, all the other stuff
that's gone viral has taken away. How good he's been
offensively and defensively for the Dodgers, And you know, I
can understand this. I feel like he's one of those players.
When he's on your side, you love him. When he's
on the other side, you hate him. He's one of
(37:53):
those type of guys. And a lot of times, you know,
we see in baseball the political correctness like we do
in life, and a guy that isn't going to conform
is refreshing.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Davey played damn near a perfect game last night. Eric
Lauer pitched a great game. Of course, A big part
of that ously it got away from Tanner Scott in
the night. But going to that, the thing that he
probably doesn't want to talk about. He'd rather you talk
about his hits and his game winning hit. But what
was what was that guy's issue because he said after
the game that he wasn't, you know, barking at Dalton
Rushing and that it escalated for no reason. What was
(38:26):
the whole reason behind that that conflict?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Yeah, I agree with Colling Kerrick there, Rushing just needed
to ignore whatever he was saying a Mickey moniac. Who
was the on deck hitter. He was directing whatever he
was saying a moniac, and Rushing flew off the handle
right there, and it just it just felt like, you know,
it was an awkward slote and awkward play where Carrick's
(38:51):
foot got caught underneath Rushing's foot and it just looked awkward.
And maybe he said something to that respect, but obviously
maybe Rushing misheard what he said, and by that point
in time it was too late. Because my understanding talking
to some of the Rockies players, Kerrig is one of
the tougher guys on their team. So he is their
(39:11):
version of Dalton Rushing. I'll just put it that way.
Speaker 6 (39:14):
Tonight, you got Justin Robleski on the mound. We already
talked about the All Star situation not included Andy. Pat
has made it in a lot of the five Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Gonna be there.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
But maybe is this another opportunity for him to maybe
sell himself for the All Star Game. David, he goes
out there and throws another gem.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I think he sold himself already. Matt.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
He's in rarefied air with ten wins and era at
two to eighty. Today, Major League Baseball announced that three
pitchers have replaced Jacob Mazerowski, Max Meyer, and Paul Skens.
Braxton Ashcraft of the Pirates replaces Skins. You kind of
feel like the Pirates needed a representative, so that made sense.
(39:55):
Jesus Lozardo instead of Zach Wheeler replaced one of those
guys in sidey Riley O'Brien, who's having a good year
for the Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
And if you look at the roster for.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
The National League, not a lot of relievers, so that
could have been the reason why. But I wouldn't want
to be the Rockies tonight because Justin Robleski is certainly
going to be extra focused to prove that he belongs
on this team.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
And look, even Yama Moto.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Won't be able to pitch because he's going to pitch
too close to the All Star Games. So there's still
a chance that Robleski replaces Yamamoto on the staff.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
The one and only David Vassey on our show at
Dodger Stadium, having a great time and now feeling extra
confident because for all practice, at practical practical purposes, the
World Cup is over in the United States. Wa was
never a proponent. There goes my nap.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Times for shame, for shame days.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Have you been fighting with people about this within your
circle at Dodgers Stadium and that the players and people
like this? Have you been anti World Cup to everybody?
I mean there's a lot of foreign players. I'm nice
that they're excited about the soccer. This is taking the stamp.
This isn't performative. I'm telling you. Some of the best.
Speaker 5 (41:14):
Naps I've had have been in the last month. Great
white noise. You know how you put the white noise
on for your baby, Well, you put on the World
Cup for me. Around twelve thirty after lunch. Oh, what
a great way or that before I get to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
What if your beloved Italy had made it? You need
to tell me, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
It's been ACTI climactic.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, because they didn't make the damn World in eight years.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
They haven't made it. Yes, you are like an Italian.
I remember your Italian team's totally stranger. That's right, Toti.
Wait a minute, I just remember that. I remember Baggio
back in the day this bullet. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
By the way, Boggio doing a book signing in New York.
When I'm out there, I'm hopeful to see the great
Roberto Baggio.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Good.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Let's see what goten. We've now figured it out.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
The fact that that Italy has not made it in
eight years is why Davis checked out of the one.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
I don't know why you didn't get behind either. Huh.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Tony Miola is no longer USA's goalie, so that's why
I'm out.
Speaker 6 (42:13):
No Mookie in the lineup tonight, Dave, but man, talk
about shaking off a slump.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
He is now one of the.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
Best hitters in baseball, and I think you feel pretty
comfortable about him making the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
He's the guy that everybody wants to see and movie.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
Yeah, I don't think this year. He's not an All
Star this year.
Speaker 6 (42:29):
But that's what we were talking about yesterday, like do
you want to see the stars or do you want
to see the guys that performed in the first half.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
I want to see the stars that performed in the
first half. I don't think you reward a guy in
the two twenties, two thirties for the first month and
a guy that missed six weeks and by many Machado,
even Mookie Betts one year, I believe it was twenty
one or something where he bowed out after being selected.
So you know, he he he's a guy that holds
himself to a higher regard. It's not going to allow
(42:57):
the fans to give him a free pass.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
All right, Dave, Well, we appreciate you. We're looking forward
to an angry Robleski tonight. We know that you enjoyed
last night's game, even though you got home late. It
was a great Dodger talk.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
It was awesome, had a great time asked rushing the
postgame questions that needed to be asked, and I hope
you you refer to those questions in your interview too.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
You know we won't, Dave, We're all softballs.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Well so all right, that interview fell in our lap.
But we are gonna have Rushia you ever surf. We
are gonna have to take that one. We are gonna
have to fight a little for Mookie bats. David didn't
quite just fall in our lap. Oh sure, we might
have to get out of the car and walk into
the store. Okay, the great David Masse Spectrum Sports net LA.
(43:45):
You can have these guys downy Honday, shut up, take
these clones downy Hyundai, and of course MLB Network our
hero David Masse joining us next nobody. We'll do the
word number song of the day, but still to come.
