live from the Dalpin Motors Broadcast booth. We can see
(01:11):
it from here right now. The booth, the booth, I
see Moe in his chair, Ricky Rick Monday is all him. Man,
You're probably right, he wouldn't appreciate that, but I appreciate him.
He's got his binoculars up, He's got his eyes on
the outfield. We got our eyes on the grass below
(01:31):
us from our iHeart Radio slash AM five seventy LA
sports suite that once belonged to Vin Scully. David Vasse
joined us a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I would say it was an inauspicious start. It
was got to do Donery Lane. We went through some
painful memories where we got in trouble here during the
playoffs in the suite in the past, we talked to
David Vassay, you upset him about upset.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Him right, like I even framed it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, yeah, you framed it like Ry Blake, like Ryan Clark.
You framed it like you know what, I'm gonna say
something that you might not like.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That's true I did. This is the non plas.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Who just said it. I should have just said it.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
People are gonna say that it's rude.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
What a great opportunity for Blake Snell to get an
actual positive postseason on his resume to go with his
incredible regular season career.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So that's what we've had. We also were turned down
in an interview with Golbs Gohmer the Dodger GM, although
Fred and Rodney had Andrew Friedman on and then Matt
had a very awkward exchange with Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I thought it went great.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I thought I thought it wentat tell him what happened, Matt.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Well, he finished his interview with Fred and Rodney. Rodney
hugged him, Fred shook his hand, and as he made
his way back towards us, he was chatting with Joe Jeric,
who had on those same sweet nikes that David Vassy
is wearing.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The ones that only the cool people have.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And I just watched Tom Cruise from rain Man put
his sunglasses on and walk out down by the Dodger dugout,
Tim Kates with social media.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Matt and as and Well, when Friedman came in, I
had a laugh with him. I said, Wow, you don't know,
like you don't have a handler. There's no trumpeter, you know,
it was an announcer president.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So we had that going right on his way in
and then on his way out as he went to
collect his stuff. I said, hey, notice anything about that,
anything different about that? Freddie Clayton Kershark exchanged there in Seattle.
And he got a big smile and he's like, yeah, yeah, He's.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Like, here's something.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
He's like, oh yeah, it was something. I said, anything
that we don't normally see.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
He had nothing, and then he started pointing at your hand.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And I was like pointing to my head.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
And then I took my my free fly hat off
and I said, no hat on, Freddy. How often have
we seen a player or a manager come out of
the dug out with no hat? And he I felt
like he responded. He had a hearty laugh. It didn't
feel like a forced laugh. Okay, but I probably took
it a step too far by pushing my.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Agenda for no hats and base.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I said, you know, optional hat, right, Freddy's hair look great.
Just think Freddie didn't want to wear a hat out there.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
What if Freddie doesn't want to wear a hat when
he plays first base, he shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Have to write?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
And I think as he opened the door, yeah, he
walked out, well, but no, he stopped and he turned
around and he then said, yeah, he wasn't playing though
it's a little bit different, and I said, yeah, little,
but he still didn't have a had am. And then
once again he said, yeah, but he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Playing all that is part of our inauspicious and then
he walked away. That is that actually that that was
the part of it that we did not share in
the first own that we've now shared in that second hour.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That was before the show even started. That's where I
decided to our show at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Now, Tim Kats is down there because his daughter shamed
him down there, and he is on the field at
Dodger Stadium, and.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You could see us. He's leaning on the rail up
in the.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Thing and he the media, Matt, Matt, what do you
what do you got? I mean, excuse me, Tim, unless
you want to put the mic in front of Matt space.
What do you got going on down there? What are
your prospects? It looks pretty slim.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
It's a vibrant scene down here, guys. I got David
Say on the phone talking to somebody. I'm not really
sure who he's talking to. And his new cool Dodger
shoes that nobody gave you. Yeah, those are really nice shoes.
No more Garcia Parr from Sports and LA is down here.
He's setting up with Kekey Hernandez and Will Smith, Aaron
Bates's assistant hitting coaches.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Down here. Will Smith is down here.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Why the Dodgers haven't hired no more to help with
hitting is a shock to me, right as a consultant
or something.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Do se Gohmer standing right here.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Next to Andrew Freeman.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Is he really busy?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He is stating, he's actually he's already turned us down.
He's up on the railing overseeing batting practice right now.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
He's very dialbful. Yeah, we asked him and he said no.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
But see if we both go down there, he's going
to see us. He's going to feel guilty, and he's
going to take the mic.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I'm not going, come on, I'm going. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm here, I have my slush puppy shirt on and
I'm drinking beer. I'm not going down there to be
shamed by the LA media.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Was the last time we were at Dodger Stadium when
the Reds were here?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It was right, Yeah, that's why we're the same guys
playing FOOTBA.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Football and wearing their dumb tank tops.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, Cincinnati is a great town. I'm tired of
it being disparent.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Like that, just because you're going there, and what you
say after you leave, if you're just you're gonna intentionally say, oh,
it was fans the time of my life to the end.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Mc cronan flew out such a great time. How's that
direct flight there?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Shut up? Hey, shut up?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
All right, all right, you tell us what's going on there? Okay,
copy that is anything going on.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'll be headed down on the next commercial break, anything going.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
On, And then you guys are both gonna be standing
down there like two donkey dildos efects.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
That'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what, if you go down there and you
guys start making hay and I'm up here just standing
here like a.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Moose, You're gonna be like mleuffiicon.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
When you go through Main Street right by the carousel.
Look at old man. What's that sour base up there
in the suite? That's Petros wouldn't come down? Why the
long face guy is slush puppy shirt es.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'll go down tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Uh, it is time for the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
How his words the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Did you hear about this? Matt somebody stole something in Inglewood. No,
there are you know how we have this at the
WB or the Warner Brothers lot and around our lot
they use a falconer to bring hawks to keep other
birds away. And I know that, I know, I know,
Craig that you're excited because this is you know, in
(07:44):
the wildlife world. And yeah, the two hawks who have
names Alice and Bubba, were stolen at two twenty two
PM by a suspect that they're gonna steal a hawk,
I'll tell you. The Inglewood Police Department describe the suspect
as a male, black adult wearing a black jacket with
(08:05):
a white stripe going down the shoulder, black pants, and
black shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sounds like a hell of an outfit to steal some hawks.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The key was left in the I don't even know
if he knew he stole the hawks. It was a
Kawasaki Mule UTV that had two cages in the back
that were covered and contained Alice and.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Bubba, the hawks.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The thief he drove off with the maroon two seater,
much like Marshawn Lynch drove off with the cart in
that game. I called many years ago, and he has
not been caught as of this morning. The village was
last seen at the Village Century shopping area in Inglewood,
and a fixed to the bed of the UTV were
the two hawks. They're called Harris's Hawks, housed in green
(08:53):
containers and they're used by a falconer in order to
deter other birds in the area. The falconer is a
red laner cop named Charles Couger, and they are his
Harris Hawks and it's also known as a bay winged hawk.
And they are still missing, which is not good. I
(09:14):
don't know what the thief did with.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Those hawks, but that's not cool.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So if you are in the Englewood area and you
see a guy driving around in a cart with two
hawks in the bat and he's dressed up like Lewis Hamilton,
you know that might be something you want.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
But a terrible situation out there. Wait.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Hawks they got to eat? Well, yeah, it kind doesn't
know how to. This guy's not a falconer, he doesn't
know what to do with it. It's just a criminal,
that's right. He is alleged.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's time for the here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Number the day is too.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, we're at Dodger stadium and the Dodgers' playoffs are
upon us mere hours away two and a half hours
from now. We did a little bit of Lakers media
day yesterday pe We played some great clips courtesy of
Tim Kates curation away for the phone, mostly of Geeter
being peeked up. Tork I didn't do a deep dive
into Laker media day, as we mentioned, we got Dodger
(10:09):
playoff baseball today. Don't really care about basketball players dressed
up in their uniforms taking photos doing interviews about what
might happen three weeks from now when the season gets started.
But because this works into our speculation, came to the
petros and money shown, narrative and something that I honestly
my displeasure with having Lebron on the Lakers team that
(10:30):
was standing, but honestly what I believe will be a
wild soap opera all season. If the narcissist King isn't
getting the attention he desires, does he start pitching a fit?
Does he want to be traded bought out? Planting nefarious seeds,
as our dear friend Vic the Brick would say in
his media plants to try and get the national conversation
(10:50):
at tilt his.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Way subtweet subtext.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Right about how he's being aggrieved in some form or fashion.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Well, I have some resentments. Eight and set with the
Geetter crew for about eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
DeAndre Ayton, Okay, the new big man who Don McClain
talked about pretty prolifically on Friday, saying, look, no one's
ever been able to get what they need out of
this guy. So if JJ Reddick can do it, you're
talking about a great coach. So Don McClain kind of
set the stage there with DeAndre eight.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Now I do want to full disclosure. Was an eight
minute conversation. She did mention Lebron.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
That's long TV interview. Yeah, eight minutes A long ass time.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
He mentioned Lebron like once, he like acknowledged, Yeah, I'm
playing with Lebron.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
But I would say the great majority of that eight
minutes was a lot.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Of this understanding that the team got to stop the
two man game, Understanding that this is our offense and
the team is depending on this offense, you know, understanding
the bone and he rotates to To's offense, and you know,
just sitting in the tunnem with my screens in journal
to let Luca free and let him do his thing.
You know, that's that's just the main goal, honestly, just
gett him going and getting our offense flowing as well. Yeah,
(12:01):
we friends, but you know it comes to this court,
you know, a straight business. And you know, just seeing
him how he developed as a true player and to
where he finally kicking my tail in the in the
game seven, and you know, him just finally getting out
that show, that show that he really controlled the league.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And he's the face of the league.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
It is something to see because he came on with
Micha class as well. And now I'm here with him
and now we're just here to really add on to
this legacy of this organization.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Hmmm.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Two man game, that would mean one two players, not
a third wheel. And the two man game the opponents
are gonna have to deal with are the two man
game of DeAndre Eton and the man he called the
face of the league, Luka Doncic.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Lebron averaged eight point two assists per game last year
for the Lakers, Doncic seven point five. So appreciate DeAndre
eighton career, by the way, pretty much even Lebron and Doncic,
but two man game coming through with the face of
the league looking to re establish king. I think it's
something that will bother the King if it keeps going.
And that's why I'm planning the various seeds right now.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You sure are speaking of the various seeds, going back
down to check before we get to the song with it?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Why do you want to get one more in here?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Pee?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I got one more closes, so you got it?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oh yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You better believe I got one more cliss summer Luca
Dallas teammate Maxi kleeber Hurt last year asked by our
friend BT, what will your role be?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Let me hear it.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Try to do the simple things, like kind of like
the dirty works like some other players, you know, set
good screens, make the right place. It's not always showing
up in boxes or whatever. But the main thing is
to just understand my own role, what we want in
our system, and then make the right decisions based on that.
You know, space the floor for Luca to get into
the paint or aar Lebron all that. Besides that, obviously,
(13:51):
like bringing physicality onto the.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Court again, space the floor for Luca, ar le Bron,
all that. So Lebron is in the ar Lebron all
that portion.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, it feels like the floor for Luca, the spacing
of the weird faces on the totem pole.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Of change, and I am here for it may continue.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
May.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
These postgame interviews celebrate lucas the face of the league,
as a potential MVP, as the man who will reclaim
Laker glory.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It feels like ever since that Backstreet Boys concert, there's
been a big shift.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yes, two man game.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Don't be a third wheel on Lebron. This is a
two man game that we're running out here.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Eight was worse than the second one.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, I did like ar Lebron all that, Like, I
mean he says all that within a second of saying Lebron,
Lebron all that.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Peter's not gonna be able to kiss enough ass and
ask about Bronni's golf enough to make up for.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That geet or wear it. You got astray? What am
I wrong?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Like that's not gonna be enough to appease Lebron away
from the media.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Hey, Cham, I see you down there with Dustin Hoffman. Yeah,
keep yourself on your in your gull card, Lebron, mean
you can't get you there the card. Any updates. I
saw Joe Jerrick sitting with you there.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, Dodgers are wrapping a buying practice here, so you
guys might want to take a break, so we might
get Dino Evil or somebody popping off the field.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Of him running down right now. No Mars is kind of.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You know, he looks really good. No Mars coming. Yeah,
we're getting ready. I'm lucky right in the song of
the day.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Yea, My Blue Heaven is our song of the day,
a jazzy instrumental version from Django Reinhardt. Because today The
Petrosen Money Show is broadcasting live from Dodgers Stadium, fondly
referred to as Blue Heaven on Earth, where great sports
Talk is on a flex alert, walking you right up
(15:51):
to Game one of the National League Wild Card Playoff
with the Cincinnati Reds, and the excitement builds with our
friend Tim Kates going love from Dodger Stadium with that
wild Card edition of your Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck Show.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
It's coming up at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:09):

Speaker 3 (16:47):
WIP using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I'm still up here.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Matt Money Smith is down on the field deliberately did
not speak anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Maybe I didn't make any during the break. I went
to the bathroom. I've been talking to Dave Weese. I'm
still up here in the suite, But Matt Muddy Smith
has joined Tim Kats and our own social media. Matt
down on the field before Dodgers versus Reds, a bubbling
pot of angst and media buzz.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I've made a mistake. Matt went down there.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I said, yeah, you chose to stay. I chose to come.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I've had a beer. I delivered a T shirt and
a hoodie. I delivered a package to David Besset that
was needed.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Oh here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Let's see who is he asking to come on, you
want to come on.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Joining us right now, the King of the South Bay.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Huh, we're very excited.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One of the greatest hitters in the history of the
world helping out the Dodger hittersus.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
He's already he's already gone out of he's running out
of the game.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, Mark Garcia, para joining us right now on your
Toyota Dealer Celebrity hotline.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And I'm up here waving. I'm up here, waving. See
I'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I didn't think that they'd be able to get a guest,
so just and bet against us.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
And there you are, Nomar. It's wonderful to have you.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
We noticed that you're talking to those hitters a little
bit and working with the guys nobody. I mean, you've
forgotten more about hitting than most anybody in the history
of the world.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Are they going to hire you full time? Or do
you invoice them when you talk to these guys about hitting.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Like, listen, I'm not talking to these guys about hitting them.
Let them go about their business. I'm just kind of watching.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
I just actually just had a question for them earlier,
just wondering about the way they were taking a bat
in practice seeing the machine. I know, when you're facing
a guy throws heat like Hunter Green, oftentimes he might
have the machine and they crank that up, but they've
already been doing that and preparing, so they've been doing
that over almost like a month or so doing that anyway,
so they have that in the cage and everything. So
(19:01):
that was really more my question. So I wasn't are
you kidding me at this stage, I'm not telling them
a thing I.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Want to I would want to know how you want
to hit Hunter Green?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You sawing it off? Like, what's what's the approach.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
The listen, I am taking a short swing. It's not
a big swing because he's going to provide the power.
I just got to figure out how to put the
barrel on it. So I'm gonna look, I'm gonna look
in an area and I'm gonna be short to the ball,
and I'm not gonna wait for a pitch. I don't
need to wait for a strike or see one it's
coming coming and uh and and take my chances. And
(19:33):
so a lot of times guys like that, I take
my two strike approach, is what I say. And then
I also feel like the account when I step in
the box is already oh one rather than waiting just
kind of like a bull one short because you really
don't want to get to two strikes. Guys like that
have stuff to put your way. So I'm thinking, Okay,
my zone might open up a little bit, but short
(19:53):
to the ball and he'll provide it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The one and only know Mark garcia Pari is our
guest on The Patroson Money Show. We are thrilled to
have him, and I'm thrilled to still be up here
and I have to go down there and I still
got to talk to Nomo.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
What a great moment for me.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
But I get to stand right next to him. Damn
does he look good?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
He made Bosco before Bosco was Bosco.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
He put Bosco on the map. Fear the Spear.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You know what it's like before these playoff series, especially
with a blue blood franchise, and everybody expects the Dodgers
to win this game and this series, but you still
got to face a great professional baseball team that has
dangerous people. Can you describe what that anxiety is like
for these guys just waiting for this game to get started?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Or is it a more measured approach.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
No, there's definitely if you don't have anxiety, if you
don't have the nerves, and then something's wrong with you.
You know, you got to embrace that. This is the
only time I really miss playing. People always like, do
you miss playing? I'm like, no, it's one hundred.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And sixty two.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
You crazy.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
It's a long season and I don't miss that marathon.
But this is the moment I miss because you miss that,
that adrenaline, that nervousness. Every pitch matters, everything about all
eyes are watching. So that's just what you play for.
It's crazy, the biggest sever the one step is one
(21:13):
hundred and sixty two. Let's spring tring to get to
this point. But that's what you have to embrace and
remind each other that this now, now the fun begins
because it's not about your numbers. It's not about what
you did. It's all about one number. And that's in
the whatever in the W column is trying to get
that win each and every time, and how you can
help out, how ninety feet matters, and if you helped
(21:34):
get ninety feet, you're you're helping.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
The team number is now nine two Wild Card three,
Division four.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Actually know it would be thir thirteen thirteen. Thirteen thirteen
thirteen is the number that we're you know, somebody ways
to go? What do you mean, I know you're not
getting out. I should have stayed up in a suite.
You mentioned everything starts over, but does does momentum work?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's okay?
Speaker 4 (21:59):
So the fact that you are playing the way they're
playing in September, that carries over you.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Definitely.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
You definitely want to feel that you want it, you know,
the last week or so, right after you clinch, you
want to continue playing well. You want to be able
to tell okay, I want to stay hot if you're
swinging the bat well, because you want to have that confidence.
It's all about confidence stepping it and the same with
you're pitching stuff. You want to be able to say, Okay,
I'm comfortable in my mechanics, I can repeat my delivery,
(22:24):
I'm confident on the hill. So yeah, you would like
to be playing that way where if you're not, you're
struggling and you're like, man, we're not playing really good.
You're like, I don't worry about We're going to turn
it on the playoff sets. You're you're, you're, you're telling
yourself that, but you know you're kidding yourself. You're like,
are we really so? Yeah? You do want to be
playing well going into the postseason.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Are you surprised with the way the roster it was constructed?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
At?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
How much of a point of contention is that? Going
into a playoff series with any baseball team, it's got
to be nerve wracking. I mean not for Nomar, but
for everybody else.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Listen, I don't think it's a point of contention. You
just don't know. And I think there are guys who
are maybe not on the roster understand you can kind
of just kind of see it, understand why or why
another person might be on it. So I don't within
that clubhouse. And you also know that anything could happen
in the postseason. You don't know. You don't know if
(23:17):
there's an injury you're called upon. You also don't know
if you go to the next round, are you going
to be the one that matches up better than maybe
the somebody else that might be on the roster, that
might be on the bubble. So you just don't know.
Communication is key. I heard earlier, you know here and
listen to Andrew Freeman. He was talking about it like
such as Michael Conforto. It's letting them know and being honest.
(23:38):
Here's why, here's what we're thinking. And it doesn't mean
that you're not supposed to be ready always, but in
this series, here's why.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
In terms of the opponent, a lot of people are
focused on Hunter Green and what he's done. Understandably, the
guy's a heck of a pitcher, but it doesn't seem
like of all the pictures, Snell's name has come up
a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
At least it feels that way. A lot of Yamamoto Otani,
of course, with Kershaw being his final year, and it's
understandable he didn't pitch a lot, but just kind of
your thoughts on Blake Snow and what that guy means
to this team having him in this rotation to start
a game.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
One, well, I think it says a lot about him.
I think when you think about the year Kershaw has
had this year, I know it's his last year, but
it's been an incredible season. And even when you look
at the Dodgers what they've done this year behind Clayt
Kershaw as far as winning percentage, it's tops when any
starter who started twenty games or more, he has the
(24:33):
highest winning percentage at least the team does wins when
he's on the mount. So and we know he's a
Hall of Famer, say young, and yet he's not on
the roster. That tells you the other guys that they
have and Snow being one of them. That's why you
signed Snell because he's been in these moments. He's done
well in these moments. So you, as a teammate, I
have every bit of confidence in him taking the mount
(24:54):
and him going out there and being able to perform.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
The last Reds World Series Champion Team Championship team was
nineteen ninety. As a young nomar, were you a fan
of those teams? A Crazy Paul O'Neill and Eric Davis
and the Nasty Boy.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
You know, I didn't really watch them because they were
in Cincinnati, and you know, us in California, we live
on an island. We just think there's an ocean on
one side and the ocean on the other side of
our state, which I know it's Lake Habitsu, but we
just think it's an ocean.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So we got to.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Stay within this. So you know, you're following the Dodgers
and maybe the Angels, you're following them as well watching them,
But outside of that, that's where you're stuck on.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's a fair answer.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I know it's not it's certainly not comparable. But the
fact that the Dodgers won their first, you know, the
World Series in a full season since nineteen eighty eight,
you know what this talent was like waiting for that
to happen after all the success? Is there something to
that freedom that Did you think they were feeling that
history last year going into the World Series versus the
way they would feel this year going into the play.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
Well, I think they definitely felt it last year. They
knew that they really wanted that. You heard these guys
and talk about it after They wanted what it meant
to have a parade because they didn't get one. It
was all about celebrating with the fans. And that's the
way you feel as a player, I assume and I
hope this place is going to be electric. It matters.
(26:18):
Having home field advantage matters. You feed off that energy
and so they wanted to be able to celebrate that
with them and after experience last year, talking to these
guys throughout the course of this year, they talked about
like that parade was unbelievable. The celebration here at Dodders staid,
it was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like that in
any team celebration. To Colma Nain. Finish at the stadium
(26:41):
with all the fans who are there, who support of
you all season long, to do that, You're going I
want to do that again, And I think that's on
their mind. They're thinking about how much fun it was
and what it meant, and they want to experience that
once again.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
The great No mare Garciapara.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
We really appreciate your stop and pre and post on
sports and at LA. Do not miss those shows.
Speaker 4 (27:03):

Those aren't the same similar shoes, but they're not the
same as who David's wearing like some Dodger blue and
Jered HadAM on as well.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Oh got you guys like everyone like that? Got the

the dugout area for Matt Smith, Tim Kats and social media. Matt,
is there any other prospects down there? Are you guys
gonna sojourned back up to the top.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I'm giving shake in the eye right now, yeah, give them,
give to them right now.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
He can't looking at me, but I'm looking right at
him point up here, and I'll flick them off exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Hey, I think I'm gonna come back up. I feel
like our work is done.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Right, all right, right, good stuff, Kate.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
You suspect we'd get anybody else down here if we
stay or what you call it.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
One of the Kates girls just texted me that Tim
Mint just earned another spicy mark.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
We'll be back with more great sports talk live.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
He snuck up on me like that. You see that shake?
He snuck up on me, could have totally just shipped me. Yeah,
I didn't see him. Man, next thing you know, he's
walking right past me.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
You could have got the ship.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, somebody said, why didn't you beat Frank's ass when
you saw him? I was like here at the stadium
in front of all these witnesses.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Unprofessional, can't do it here.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
It's an anticipatory day and great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
No, you know it's not the first pish today.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Who Joe Kelly. Oh yeah, I can see that. It's
exciting our.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Old friend Joe Kelly, old friend Joe. But he didn't
make the roster. But at least he's that going for him.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Is he retired now? Is that it's it like official now?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
He said it was only gonna be the Dodgers, so
I guess technically is pitching for the Dodger.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
He probably had something else in mind, thought Gohmer.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Might come off that platform and come over here.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
But he's locked in, he said no already. I know.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Wanted to give him the eye though, see if he
felt the pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:21):

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Peeple, we got a special guest ready to go.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Don know Ebel joining us right now. Of course, we
know him, We love him. The King of Corona long
time and the Angels organization now here with the Dodgers
making dreams come true and bringing the energy every night
at third base for the boys in Blue. Joining us
once again on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline.
(30:26):
It is Dodger third Base coach. Do you know Ebel?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
What's cracking Dino? How are you all? Good? Guys?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yep?
Speaker 11 (30:32):
Excited for tonight to get this thing rolling.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You know when you're a guy who's around these guys
all the time and you have the demeanor of a
baseball man and you know how to be throughout the
season and is different stages, what's it like tonight with
so much anticipation.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
It's man, people are keeked.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Yeah, it's we know.
Speaker 12 (30:53):
This is what we play one sixty two for. We knew,
you know once you get in the big dance. We're
here and we got, as you know, a veteran ball
club that's been here before. And today was a great day.
Yesterday on the off day, we had a nice practice.
So the routine stays intact. Everybody's got a routine, and uh,
just to get out here and start game one tonight
(31:13):
is exciting for us the fans.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
To dodge your organization, does it?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I would assume things change in the game depending on
situations and and who's in and who's playing, and who's
pitching and all that. But are you more aggressive in
the playoffs? Do you coach third base any differently in
the playoffs? Because these are games of consequence? Its winner
go home.
Speaker 12 (31:32):
Yeah, you know what, it's the scoreboard. Many years ago
Joe Moffatano always taught us, Uh, you know the scoreboard.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
It did takes.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
If you're going to be aggressive, you're gonna be uh
you know who's on deck, who's in the hole, what's
the situation the game, who's pitching the bullpen? So it's
a it's a game that I uh, you know, tend
to be on the aggressive side. I know they're outfielders, Uh,
you know who's on second for us, and uh, you know.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
To two tie, if we're up, you'd be a little
bit more aggressive.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
You're you got to be more patient and let our
guys swing the bat. So I'll just play it inning
by inning, out for out and then we'll go from there.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
But you know, if I get a chance to score,
we're gonna score.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Oh yeah, and you got some speed when the roster
came out today, So Kim saw Deem does that. So
Jimmy icee speed like that, and I think, okay, maybe
get after a little bit there in the late innings.
Do you feel like this is a team you can
be aggressive against?
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 12 (32:22):
And you know, you get those guys that can run
the bases and they're fast, and the other team knows that.
You know, these guys get in the game and we
put pressure on the defense, they might fumble the ball.
Speaker 11 (32:31):
They might you know, throw the ball over a cutoff man.
Speaker 12 (32:34):
And so we can start a big inning with team speed,
but we're looking to take advantage of it. If Dave
puts them in the game and situation calls for being
aggressive first and third or try to score them one
out lessen you know, two outs, we'll do it. So
that's good, you know good on our side.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
You've seen a lot of careers come and go and
been around baseball players your whole life, life in baseball
and now fostering the careers of your great young sons.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
And we've had on the show.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Not to look too far back, because I know it's
playoffs tonight, but have you ever seen a career and
at least in the regular season the way Clayton Kershaws
has in the last couple of weeks. It's had to
be really special to be around this team and watching
that kind of take place.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
Never i've you know, again, twenty years in the major
leagues and.
Speaker 11 (33:19):
The pool Holses of the world, and Vlad Guerrero.
Speaker 12 (33:22):
When I was over with the Angels, and many many
more stars that from other teams you've seen their last walk.
But being with Clayton my seventh year here leaving the
Angels and being him, being here with him day to
day and watching what he went through this year, and man,
it was special. And I told him an honor for
me to be on this team and witness this and
wish him the best. He's a Hall of Famer and
(33:43):
he's still with us, So it's gonna be fun throughout
the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Last one for you, you know, and we certainly appreciate it,
you know, Ebel, Dodger's third base coach, kind of have
to join us spread a couple hours out from first pitch.
First pitch is gonna come from Blake Snell. You've been
around them all season. What kind of pitch you think
we're going to see on that mound tonight.
Speaker 12 (33:58):
I'm glad he's on our side. This guy's a gamer.
This guy comes to pitch, he's well prepared, he's he
had his uniform on today at one o'clock. Is that's
what he does when he starts. I mean, he comes
and it's his day, and he's been looking forward to this.
He missed, you know, part of you know, parts of
the season, and this is what he is meant to
be is right now in game one here at Dodger Stadium,
(34:19):
and he's gonna light it up.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Dino. Good luck to you.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Thank you so much for being so gracious and spending
the time with the show. Have a great night and
a great playoffs.
Speaker 11 (34:27):
Thank you so much, Dino.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Evil everybody and Tim Kates the wall digging it out.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
And he had to move stalk about team speeding. Tim Kates,
he was almost in the suite.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
He got the call from Jered said, hey, Dino's ready
to go right now. He had to won eighty pivot
hall ass back down on the field, get that mic
and Dino's face before he retreated.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Into the dugout.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
You know, he might be a wall, but when speed
is called upon, Pete, he delivered.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
After that first hour, Tim Kates had to dig in.
He had to dig his his spikes into the ground
and pull out some stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
And man did he ever.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
No mar Garcia Parra and Dino Ebel in the second hour,
and now we'll be able to carry the third hour
straight on till morning.
