Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without

Speaker 4 (00:50):
I was trying. Look going meet you petros in Money
AM five to seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. We are underneath Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I've done the show here we have not. No, we
did at Kershaw. We did talk to Kersher to Kershaw,
the same room down here, same room. We had a
Kershaw inside the locker room from right here. It is
the interview room underneath Dodger Stadium. Dodgers Reds Galpin Motors
Broadcast booth. It is a getaway game for Cincinnati, yet
first pitch is still going to be at five forty pm.
We got into that with David Vesse yesterday. Dodgers on
(01:20):
deck at four point thirty. It is Sho hal Tani
fifty to fifty bobblehead. And the good news is is
we had to get to Dodgers Stadium a little bit
earlier today. If in fact, they had not made the
adjustment to give one away for every single person with
a paid ticket, we would have been met with considerable resistance.
There was still a line when I rolled up. I
know you saw it as well. Sho hal Tani fifty
(01:42):
to fifty bobblehead night. And in the Dodgers wisdom, everybody
with a paid ticket gets the bobblehead. And that's interesting
because I had some friends that were in New York City,
New York City last week and they went to a
Mets game, and they went to a Yankee game, and
they went to the Mets game and it was one
Soto bobblehead night.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Okay, he's a seven hundred and fifty million dollars star,
and they had a cut off. They only gave away
a certain amount, okay, and I'm not sure about that,
but I know that there was an Aaron Judge Bobblehead
Night that they also went to and that had a
cut off as well, and they said it was absolutely
chaos at Yankee Stadium, New Yankee Stadium or whatever they
(02:24):
call it. So the Dodgers have figured out how to
deal with ough Taddi Bobblehead Night better than any other franchise.
And we credit them for that because they adjusted on
the fly. The first one was not everybody, it was
forty thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well that people were unhappy.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
There was a line down to sunset at ten am
and David vasse is calling us and freaking out. I
couldn't even get out of a goadline.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It was like nine am.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And then they're like, okay, here's the adjustment. God bless them.
We still ran into slight resistance. But you know, it's
like one of those five pound resistance bands.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I heard about the New York City and I was
very proud to be associated with the Dodgers, as we
are your Dodger station. Like Matt said, Dodgers reds tonight.
The reason we're down here is because of Verizon, our
friends at Verizon who are hosting Dave Roberts tomorrow at
the Verizon store in Pasadena located at three six eight
(03:19):
South Lake Avenue, from five to six. The event starts
at four, so show up early for your chance to
win tickets and merch. That's tomorrow with Dave Roberts in Pasadena,
and it's all brought to you by Verizon. And this
here in the Dodger Media Room is also brought to
you by Verizon.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
What are we going to be doing?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, We're going to talk to Will Smith a little
bit later this hour. We have not talked to Will
in quite a while, so we'll have can begle that.
And very similarly to how they were kind enough, our
friends at Verizon to bring us Anthony Banda and bring
us Ben Caspirius, they're going to bring you the people.
Dave Roberts tomorrow on his day off, instead of hanging
out and taking a breather, he wants to see all
(04:02):
of you, you great Dodger fans, three sixty eight South
Lake Avenue from five to six pm. As you said,
P And as a precursor to that, our friends at
Verizon we're kind enough to say, you know what, let's
give Petro some money, a little bit of taste to this.
Let's give them a couple scraps here.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, they gave us a taste.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
And not only do we get to talk to Will Smith,
but to have Dave Roberts, the pride of UCLA, hero
here in this city and a real stud when it
comes to winning baseball, to the championships. He's brought the
dream of World Series championships to the city of Los Angeles,
(04:39):
to the Dodger franchise. And I tell you, what what
a wild year it's been. What a crazy August. How
do you do it? How do you stay measured? And
we have Will Smith on next, He's maybe even more
measured than you. But how do you stay so measured
when it seems like there's so much chaos around you
and it's so hot outside.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
It is definitely hot outside, not in here, that's right
right here, This is great, this is perfect. You know,
how do I get so measured or stay so measured?
I do a good job of keeping it inside. And
I just think that right now, And you guys know
me pretty well. And I think optics is a lot,
(05:17):
especially when you're in a leadership position, and I think
that for me, I try to stay as even keeled
because I don't like to ride the wave because players
and fans do it enough. And so I think that
if people can look at at a you know, manager
or a leader to kind of remain steadfast and calm,
I think that kind of balances things out. So, yeah,
(05:39):
it's been a crazy year, unpredictable. That's what makes baseball
so great. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. We're
sort of now where I think we're hit our stride
a little bit. And but yeah, I think the one
thing that I think people can look to me is
consistency and of kind of my demeanor. I'm never going
to be Tomulus sorta or pat Riley, you know, or
(06:02):
John Gruden or whoever was it, you know, fiery, you know, Yeah,
it's just and I can be fiery at times and
some of the things I'd like to have back, some
of my moments of fire. But that's part of it too.
But I do think that we're training in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We you know, it's September, well it's almost September. It's
August twenty seventh. You got twenty nine games left. I
think you're in a tight race, you know, and you've
had septembers where you've just kind of been cruising. You've
had septembers where it's gone down to the very last
day in Colorado to decide who's going to win the division.
Kind of take us through. Do you manage differently? Does
it feel differently? Do you like one? I would assume
(06:39):
you like a cushion a little bit more than the other.
But what are the benefits of kind of being in
this situation.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I think the benefits are your margin is certainly less.
Every play matters, and with that the performance should should raise,
the level of play should be raised. So I think,
to your question, how do I manage it? I think
I manage more with urgency and not let things play out,
because yeah, we're in a penny RaSE.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Like it or not.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
But I do think that because of that. You know,
if you look at the last four games, the intensity
we've played with the focus urgency has been better, whereas
if we had an eight game lead, I don't know
if we had have the same response. So that's a
good thing. And I do believe that, you know, taking
this into September is going to be of benefit.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
When we get to do these sort of things. And
a big thank you to our partners, our partners at
Verizon for helping us put this thing together. Sometimes we
like to look back a little bit, exactly, look back
a little bit, and I don't know if we've had
like an extended conversation out that this will be about
twenty twenty and just what a crazy because you know
we were going to talk to MOOKI that was something
(07:45):
that was going to come up. And I can kind
of remember how incredible he was on that run. So
digging through that, you kind of forget you got to
win two out of three in the wildcard round even
though you guys were playing it like a six fifty clip,
and then you have the padres your rival in the
next divisional round. What how different was that run from
any other run you've been on, none of those games
(08:06):
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
It was It was hard. It was, I mean, to
be quite frank, it was harder than you know, baking
everything in. It was harder than what we went through
last year. It really was. And it is interesting how
you know, some people you know, put the asterisk er
say this or that about twenty twenty, and these are
the same people because I think we're all in the
same camp in the sense of twenty twenty was something
(08:30):
that no one would ever want to revisit and how
difficult it was. And then now you layer in on
trying to play a sport and win a championship, So
all the stuff that everyone else had to you know,
encumber and go through, we had to go through that
and still perform. And so yeah, it was very difficult
not being with your families, and so I would argue
(08:51):
that it was harder than twenty twenty four and so
but yeah, looking back, it was just such a crazy time,
a lot of unknown, a lot of fear. I don't
even think that US as a country as have we've
even come out of this fully. And I just think that,
you know, in the sense of just kind of you know,
(09:13):
the cynicism, the just the sounding off and some people
just kind of not really out there as much as
they used to be before twenty So yeah, because a
lot of things are more remote, so you're not having
the same conversations in person. So there's a lot of
things that we just really haven't readjusted to or will
we ever.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
But yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I mean I think that as far as our twenty
twenty four club, we had some guys, some carry over
from twenty twenty, but I do think that we got
better knowing that we got through it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You can't manage on a zoom, no, no, no, you
can pull the picture on a zoom, you.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Know, yeah, you can't do that. I mean, honestly, and
no fans.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And I look back at some of the games in
the postseason or the regular season games having no fans,
and every player will say that they get their motivation
and their energy from the fans, right, and so did
not have fans and kind of piped in music.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I mean, that's bananas.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
It was weird brought I brought it up because, you know,
like I said with the Mooki thing, I was going
through the Snell start and I was like, Mookie was
the next batter. He was the guy on deck when
they yanked Snell and brought in Anderson and then bang,
bass knock and the rally starts. Have you and Snell
ever talked about the World Series from twenty twenty Has
that ever come up? Because man was he dealing in
that game?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
So we haven't really I just you know, right before
I got on air, right here, I just saw Blake
because he just came back from paternity and expecting to
make his start on Friday, and so it's just ironic
that you asked that question. But I've never talked to
him about it. And yeah, no, never.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Gonna let him bring it up if he wants to.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
If he brings it up, and I'll just thank him
for coming out of the gate.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Roberts is our guest, the skipper of the Dodgers, known
as Doc Roberts, and one of the proprietors along with
the Great Rich Aurelia Grete thirty five.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
The Red Stitch Winery.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Petros, I got some here, so now you guys are
on site. So now I got someone coming, so yes, horn,
so it's coming.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
There you go, The Red Stitch Winery, one of the
great wine and a beautiful bottle, a hefty bottle that
makes you feel like you're holding a big bat. You
know that you're about to hit hit one out of
the park.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
That's a good marketing slogan, like you're holding a big bat.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
There you go. That's right, just came up. Done.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You have you got show Hao TONI pitching a night,
it's a show Hao Tony bobblehead night. I don't know
if that resonates much with you guys inside the building
other than the people lined up outside. But for you,
what's it like managing him compared to what you thought
it would be like? I don't know if you think
a lot about what these guys are going to be like,
like we just mentioned Snell and until they're actually you know,
(11:51):
in your clubhouse, But what is what is it like
managing show Hao Tony And how different is it than
what you thought it would be?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Like?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I think managing show Hay is certainly very It's easier
than I thought in the in the sense of building
the relationship. He's very respectful, he wants to be great,
He's open to thoughts, suggestions, he just wants to be
like everyone else one of the guys. I think the
(12:23):
thing that's been really different, which I think that you
can expect it, but until you live it on the
day to day, you just can't really imagine. And what
it is is all that comes with Show Hey, the fan,
the fanfare, the media and you know, even my media.
(12:44):
It's two three X and what it was before Show
Hey came so that's stuff that you really can't really anticipate.
But as far as having him on our ball club,
in our organization, you just see the level of interest, fandom, excitement,
you know, for the and that's been great for all
of us.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I know it's and I think I'll kind of put
this pretext on it, like baseball's just not what it
was when Clayton Kershaw first started pitching, when guys were
gonna throw one hundred and thirty, one hundred and forty
pitches and have complete games. So I say that while
recognizing this is one of the best months that Kersh's
ever had. I mean, he's the five starts a sub
to era. You've won every game that he's pitched in.
(13:24):
You've seen him a ton kind of what what are
we watching? What are you watching right now? How well
is he pitching with? Kind of and you're a guy
that played in your mid late thirties, like, how is
he doing it?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
What are you watching? What are we watching right now?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I think that we're watching obviously we're watching greatness, you know.
I think that it's it's kind of obviously a combination
of talent, experience, just sheer will and grit and finding
a way to have success. And I think that you've
(13:59):
seen him in the last month, you know, pitch differently,
use different pitches, go to different quadrants to find ways
to ultimately just get guys out and help your ball
club win. And that's kind of some of the things
that as you know us as sports fans, where you see,
whether it's in football, you know, you see Joe Montana
(14:19):
back in the day where he wasn't Joe Montana with
the Niners and he still finds a way to make
big plays. Or you see the Chiefs with the Chiefs,
or you see you know Brady, or you see Michael
Jordan at the end, or you see Magic or Larry
Bird and guys that just don't have the same physical
what they had, but they're so great and they just
refuse to lose and they're going to find any way
(14:41):
to have success. And Clayton right now is knowing that
he doesn't have the Blake Snell stuff, the Tyler Glassnell stuff,
but there's no reason why he can't go out there
and help his team win.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So I just.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Really, you know, just when I didn't think I could
get any more respect for Clayton, it just continues to rise.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The one and only Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Tomorrow He's at the Verizon store in Pasadena at three
six eight South Lake Avenue from five to six and
the event starts at four. Show up early. There'll be
a chance to win tickets and merch. That's tomorrow in
Pasadena and all of this this inside the locker room
we're doing for about an hour. We have Dave Roberts
and Will Smith coming up next. Is brought to you
by our dear friends at Verizon who made it here
(15:26):
into the bowels of Dodger Stadium and I got a
Verizon phone and.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Guess what it works under here.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
When was the last time you rocked the Sinister nineties
early two thousand goateee?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You know what I mean? Because that was like that
was you were synonymous with that.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I was, I was like the Westwood go tee.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I think once I went to the Giants that the
dreaded team up North in two thousand and eight, that's
when I kind of did away with the goat I think.
And also as you start to return, and it hasn't
because I think one of the things that you got
to fake it to you make it so I now
got gray hair, as we all do. So now I
(16:06):
shave because I don't because when you start seeing grays,
they've been I'm a gray beard, and it was like, God, dang,
Doc is so stressed. He's getting old. He looks like
President Obama right now. So it's like, so now if
I shave, at least I can fake people and still
say I look young, I'm not stressed. And then if
I go goat, it's like, you know, Davy Lopes or
(16:28):
anyone with that gray goat, and I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The level of leadership that you've reached, you know, and
the way we could we cover coaches and managers like
you is the way we cover Bill Belichick or Phil
Jackson or these guys. And you know, they all have
these different idiosyncrasies. Phil Jackson giving guys books, Bill Belichick
chewing rocks in front of people, and the hoodies and
(16:52):
the hoodie and the cutoff you have cut them off,
all that stuff. Do you do that kind of stuff
with players? Do you do you give them a bottle
of a vert?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I mean, what do you do? You have something that
you do?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Do you share a poem with them or a quote
or or or it seems a little more straightforward.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
It's it's certainly it's straightforward, but it's nuanced. It's it's
a little bit more of I'm not afraid to give
away wine, pay for a meal if I see him on.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The road, make a lot of money now.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I uh, I you know, I think
for me, it's I try to make them my own
in the sense of I try to treat them as
my own kids. And where Clayton, as we were talking about,
that's more of like a little brother situation. But I
try to teach a lot of these guys like my
or have that relationship, and then with that it goes anywhere,
(17:46):
you know, whether I'll take guys out golfing or you know,
we'll grab a bite or just kind of sit with
them and chat about life in general. So it is straightforward,
but it's more soft edges versus chewing rocks or you know,
wearing a hoodie.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Well, I hope, no, I hope the La Times doesn't
see us in here and think we're having a secret meeting.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Right.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
You know, I don't know where the heck that came from,
because the thing is, that's one of those things where, uh,
Mookie comes into my office all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Players.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, I guess, I guess that's that's big news. And
there's strife in the Dodger clubhouse, I guess so. So, yeah,
he popped in and you know, that kind of went
viral for for a quick second. Fortunately for a quick second.
But yeah, there was nothing to that. And I think
it's a good thing that players come in and want to.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Try do you block out all that noise, because like
you guys have such a reputation. We talked about it
being measured and then beyond that, this team, you know,
is not overly emotional. That's something that the pundits talk
about where you know, you guys get down, but you
find a way to.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Fight back, just like the playoffs last year. Yeah, block
it out.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
That's something that I do block out. But that's something
I am sensitive to because that's certainly a reflection on
the leadership and if there is kind of a division
in the clubhouse, right, and so that all the other stuff.
I just don't like drama in our clubhouse. I like
to go out and you know, represent the fans, the organization,
(19:12):
this great organization of the Dodge. And I think that
since my tenure. I think that if you look at
our organization, we've been very consistent in how we perform,
how we play, and Andrew Friedman has obviously what we've
worked alongside each other, and that's the consistency. And yeah,
and the drama that comes with other teams and or organizations,
we don't have that. So that's something I'm a little
(19:34):
bit sensitive to. And fortunately there was nothing to that though.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
You uh, you got a Pennant race. We talked about it,
and you got some younger guys on your team, just
in terms of you know, how you how you manage them,
Dalton Rushing and Andy Pie's and I know he was
here last year, but how often you use them, You're
you're a game up on the padres just kind of
what goes into that, especially if they're on the playoff
roster and you know you had Andy in a handful
(19:57):
of games last year in the postseason.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, you know it. It's interesting and difficult in the
same because when you're the Dodgers or you're a big
market team expecting to win a championship each year, and
you want to win not only this year, but you
know beyond, you can't have all veterans, because if you do,
then you're going to time out and then when you
kind of reload, you're gonna have guys that are in experience.
(20:20):
So the subtlety the art of it is how do
you introduce young players to not put too much on
them to get the experience so at some point in
time they can be the guys. And even last year,
you know, Andy played the lion's share of the outfield,
but then for me, at the end of the day,
I didn't feel that he was ready meant emotionally or
(20:41):
performance wise to warn a lot of it back. So
he didn't play a lot during the postseason, but he
had the big game against the Mets. But this year,
I think he's taken a step beyond so that he's
going to be an integral part of our postseason this year.
But having rushing to get you know even that at
Battery ground to the play, but then the next day
(21:02):
and it's lasted, bat hits a home in a big spot,
So that's growth. And then so we're getting an opportunity
to have Freeland play a lot, working alongside Mooki and
get cut his teeth, and that's going to help us
going forward. So yeah, losing guys certainly isn't good, but
it gives other guys opportunities and that I think, you know,
Caspirius Dryer on the pitching side, So that was Vessia
(21:27):
years ago and Henriquez this year. So these are guys
that were starting to blend in with our veteran guys.
That's going to help us, you know, not only for
twenty four, but twenty five and well beyond.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He Petros mentioned the go tee and I don't know
why I popped into my brain, but I just remember.
I can't find it, but I remember a baseball card
and it was like kind of a close up and
you could really see that sinister go tea. Do you
do you have all of your baseball cards? Do you
have a favorite? Is it an action shot? Is it throwing?
Is it running? Is it hitting? Do you remember one
that you were like, oh, yeah, Tops, Tops, did me
(21:59):
right in this one.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
So I don't know if I have all of them.
I have a lot of them. There was one I
was at Dodger Stadium in a day game. I was
wearing my white uniform and I was coming around second
towards third, and I think both of my feet were
off the ground and I was legging out a triple.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
That one.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
That one's right there, it is and it is Is
it a Tops?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It is a Tops two thousand and three, Tops number
five forty four.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
So that one is like sort of I'm looking down
the line. It might not have been a dog.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
It might have been Shay Stadium or no, because I'm
wearing white, so that's Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
So that's one.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
And then I got my rookie rookie when I was
a young kid wearing my Detroit Tigers. That was my
first baseball card I had, So I was like, man,
I got a baseball card. There's another one. I think
there was another one where I win the World Series
in the Red Sox and I was sliding, uh, and
I slid and kind of did a little pirouet in.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
A Red Sox.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
But you know what's cool is that playing cards are
coming back.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. By the way,
look at that.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yeah, I was sort of jacked right there when.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You noticed my radio partner's got to wear bigger T
shirts now because he's getting jet.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Founds swolled up. Though. Uh, you know, it's Dave Roberts

It's so simple, very simple, get complicated, yet complicated.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Very layered. That's a lot of a lot of layers.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
You are a real fountain of success and inspiration for
a lot of people in this city. Watching you control
this team over the years, amongst incredible criticism because it's
the Dodgers a year in and year out has been
an absolute joy. So a big thank you to you
and our friends at Verizon for having you come down
and do this. Enjoy your day off tomorrow. We know
(23:51):
you're going out to see the people.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
It's gonna be fun. You know what I think.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
The last time I was at, if I'm not mistaken,
that same Verizon store, I was there maybe in two
thousand and three or four when I was with the Dodgers.

keeping the Dodger theme going here.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, we got one of our favorites, Dodger catcher and
an overall measured man, the guy who stays even keel
at all times, barely even see his teeth because he's
so serious about baseball, and you've got to be serious
about baseball this time of year. In the Pennant Stretch,
it's Will Smith, the pride of Louisville, joining us right
(25:58):
now on the Petrosen Money Show on a five seventy
LA Sports on your Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Here in
the Dodger media room where these guys get grilled by
the media. Well, do you have any crazy memories of
this room.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Of this room? Yeah, man, yeah, a lot of posts,
interviews and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Contract signings.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
Yeah, contract signing was a big one, right one last year?
Right yeah, yeah, very exciting. So yeah, good room.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
What about You know what usually for these we like
to look back a little bit, which I know is weird.
You still got, you know, nearly thirty games left in
the season, but would love to ask you, because you
just got out of San Diego just kind of going
back to that Game four last year, the bullpen game,
because Mookie's got the huge homer to get you started.
You end up kind of hitting what felt like was
(26:45):
the game changing home run to put you up five
to nothing. What was if you can remember, what was
the vibe like going in down to one, You're catching
a bullpen game, sort of what are you thinking going
into that contest?
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Yeah, I mean, obviously it was a bullpen game. You know,
I was going to be piecing it together there, you know,
out by out, so yeah, but you know the vibe
was we were still really confident. We we trusted that
we were gonna get it done. You know, we never
lost faith. We always believed it in each other and
ourselves that we were gonna win. We're gonna win Game
four and then you know, go to Game five and
then you know, win that. So yeah, Mookie got it started.
(27:19):
We we you know, that was that incredible run the
pitchers did of twenty something straight shutout innings. So yeah,
that was some good baseball we were playing right then,
and uh yeah I got it done.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It seemed like, I know, just speaking you know, from
the fans kind of perspective, it felt like that was
the most intense game of them all. Sorry that share
was something I might have done something to it. I apologize,
but it felt like that was like the most intense. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
I mean in a series, the you know, the deciding
games are always the most intense. You know, it's winner
and go home at that point. So yeah, you gotta
stay alive, and that's what we did, and then forced
the game five and won that one.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
What's your mindset around this time of year? I mean,
it's hot outside, it's a Pennant race. You got to
put all that stuff on most nights, uh, and you're
still playing great. How do you measure yourself out and
get through every day? What is your approach to do it?
And has it changed now that you're an older guy
thirty years old signed up so you're fifty.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's it's more I feel like
what you've done prior to this time of year, you know,
taking care of your body, staying ahead of stuff and
all of that.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Austin Barnes been with you, you know, for a long time,
and now you're here in in Dalton. Rushing is coming up.
Kind of what's that relationship? Like, Kevin Dalton? How nice
has it been to have him around? Give you a
couple of days off there.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Yeah, he's been good. You know, it's uh, he's a
rookie player. He's definitely young. He's got stuff to learn,
but yeah, just trying to help him, help him through it.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
You know.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
The other day the big homer against the podview try,
the biggest swing in his career so far. So yeah,
it's it's been fun to work with them.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
You know.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I think he's been a really good player. Uh yeah,
you just gotta go out there, relax, have some fun
and uh yeah, just show everybody's got.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Do you relate with with him as a young player, Uh,
thinking about yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
When you were new around here running around.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
It's it's the Dodgers. We expect to win. You expect,
you know, the guy, you expect a lot out of him, right,
and you expect, especially a catcher to be able to
lead a staff and all that stuff. So it was
a lot thrown at him right away. You know when
I came up, it was a lot thrown at me. So,
you know, a little bit relating in that that sense.
But uh yeah, I think he's been doing a pretty
good job, you know, defensively, behind the play, carrying the staff.
(29:36):
There's always there's always mistakes made. I mean, we all
make mistakes, but just talking through them so we don't
do them again.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
We were talking about this the other day with with
Andy Paez and kind of looking at how your postseasons
went from when you got in your first postseason and
then you know, just kind of you had that one
breakout here. I think it might have been your third
postseason when it felt like you really announced, you know,
your your arrival. What do you feel like when you're young,
when you're young in the playoffs show up? I know
Andy went through it last year and ended up having
that one really good game against the Mets individually, but
(30:04):
kind of how how different is it when when we're
talking about counting on some of those young guys.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Yeah, I mean to me, it's more like, you know,
one a bad in the postseason seems like ten throughout
the regular season. Right It's there's there's more drama, there's
more pressure, there's more expectations, there's more you know, there's
more attension to failure. To just be able to deal
with all that, you know, being able to just slow
the game down. You know, the game speeds up on guys,
(30:29):
and it's almost who can slow the game down better?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Can you feel like your heart rate or you shaken?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Like really you know at times, you know, the crowds,
the crowds are allowed, they're intense, you know, you on
the road, they're you know, intense the other way. So, yeah,
it's just being able to control everything, being able to
you know, stick to your approach, being able to stick
within your swing, do the job that's asking you in
that moment. And you know, I'm just trying not to
do too much.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
We are live at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
First pitch is at five forty tonight show Heyl Toddy
with the Bobblehead, the fifty to fifty Bobblehead joining us
now all star Dodger Catcher, three times Will Smith and
two times of course World Series Champion, and we're grateful
for the time. We know you're very busy this time
of year and it's a grind, but hey, at least
it's not David Vasse right.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Yeah, exactly, I mean, yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I mean when you're on the road and you know,
maybe you know, you just got an argument with a
family member or something, and you see his big face,
does it bother you? Is it fun to be around Dave?
Like you can be honest with us? He used to
produce this show, I know.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I mean, I feel the best part about Dave is
talking crap with him, you know, making fun of him
and stuff. So yeah, no, we have fun with it.
He's great, he's uh, you know, he's he's super, he's
super fun to be around, takes it all well, it's fun.
So yeah, I know we like him.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I imagine most of the guys coming up in Kentucky
that you were catching were English speaking, and you got
three Japanese pitchers on this staff. How different is it
communicating with those guys? How much of a of a
of a difference is it from a guy you know,
like Kershaw or somebody like that.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Yeah, I mean, we obviously have the interpreters and stuff
that help, but you know, baseball, lingos, baseball and go,
you know, we can we can still communicate. I guess
I'll have a mountin visit by myself and and get
a message across. But the interpreters help, you know show
Yoh uh they know English pretty well rookies. He actually
knows English pretty well too. So yeah, it's just making
(32:28):
sure we're communating, communicating clearly, and uh yeah, it's not
it's really not too.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Hard speaking of a kershaw. I mean, what an incredible month. Uh,
you've caught them all and I'm looking at it here.
I'm sure you know better than we do. But twenty
eight and two thirds a one eight eight era. Uh,
just you've caught him for a long time. Like what's
going on this year with him? I know he's been great,
you know when he was great last year before he
got hurt. But man, this stretch is quite incredible. How
(32:54):
is he doing it?
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, it's impressive, you know, I think you know with him,
he he can just he can just make pitch better
than anyone. You know, he can execute what he's trying
to do better than anybody. And you know he puts
the preparation in to study the hitters. He knows, you know,
what the hitters are trying to do, what they're looking
at and he's able to adapt off of that just
with the game seeing what he's seeing from the game.
(33:16):
So yeah, I think it's just a combo of that.
But you know, most importantly, he just executes pitch after
pitch and it gets.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Out last one. For me. Will just you've been in
both situations where it's been tight in September and when
you guys have had ten fifteen game leads, a lot
of people talk about, oh, it's going to be competitive
kind of like, what what does that feel like? What
is the difference in the vibe if there is one
at all for you guys.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Yeah, I think you know, I think when you have
the big leader, you're trying not to let it be
a thing where you don't want to let out the
gas pedal. And that's hard, right, It's hard to do
that for the last two weeks when you've already clinched
you've already clinched the number one spot or whatever, so
you still got to find a way to play for something.
But yeah, I mean, it's when you're still fighting for
the division two games left in the season, like the
(33:59):
foot never come off, you can't, So it's it's you're
trying not to let that happen, obviously, but yeah, this
year it's gonna be tight. It's gonna be tight to
the end. It's gonna be a real test for us
and uh and we've got to play good baseball.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Always measured, always ready, always a great catcher, one of
the best, Will Smith. Thank you so much for coming down.
Thanks guys, have a great week and stay healthy and
have a great end of the season in postseason. Well,
thank you so much for doing it.
Speaker 6 (34:24):

And you know what, the fine folks at Verizon do.
They want to reach out to you, the people. It's

the fine folks at Verizon putting on for you, and
B the benevolent soul p that is Dave Roberts on

this thing daily through the end of September. Tomorrow, on
his day off, going to go out and see y' all.
That's from five to six pm. The event starts at
force to get there early.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, I gotta be honest, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I don't track as well as I used to on
some things, Like I'm getting older and things are harder
than for me, you know, just doing things, and just
to think with Dave yeh it is, you know, and
just to think what Dave Roberts has got to do
deal with all these people, deal with the media. He said,
his media availability is three times.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
What it was before show.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Hey, Otani got here, and it's not like he was
managing the Tampa Bay Rays before he got before. Yeah,
I mean the absolute top of the top, blue blood
and MLB franchise, the Dodgers, and just still has time
to talk to us and give us twenty four great
(36:47):
minutes of insight, and then still has time to meet
with all the Verizon people, and then still has time
to be with everybody at the Verizon store tomorrow Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Exactly right.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
And last minute, by the way, a big thank you
to Will Smith came through and we were supposed to
have Mookie, supposed to have Mookie, and then MOOKI canceled
about two hours, about an hour prior to us supposedly
getting him.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I was on the one ten when he canceled, Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
I was listening to the compelling Rogan and Rodney shows,
so I missed the text.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It's it's gate Sea, that's the one Ronnie likes.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Gate Sea and then you're gonna get the back door
out around the shipping containers. Just ignore those and you
will find your way. I'm a little distracted. It happens
all the time. What happened me long enough to know
that something catches my eye. I've been trying to piece
together because you know, there is no professional basketball team
in Cincinnati. They have the Bengals, they have the Reds,
(37:40):
they don't have a hockey team, they don't have a
basketball team.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
So they had the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Exactly right, And McK cronin is certainly proud to point
out that they have the Cincinnati Bearcats.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
At Ohio State doesn't want a piece of the bear Cats.
I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I'm right, they don't, not that blue collar mentality of
the Bearcats. But the Cincinnati Reds are all wearing basketball
jerseys to warm up in and it's a hot day,
it's in the nineties, and so I'm like, are they
wearing Chicago Bulls jersey? I'm just thinking, like, you know,
one's black, one's white, one's red. And then I realized,
I think they're customized Cincinnati Reds, you know, like you
(38:16):
have your batting practice right, light warm up short. I
think the Reds have made cleveless. This would be great
for you, Matt.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I mean you could be a Cincinnati Red.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
I could show off my arms. You would be on
real yeah, with your huge arms. But something that I
would politic for. Hey, guys, I think we should be
wearing tank tops. Yeah, it looks like show off the pipe.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
It looks like the Reds have a home and away
right and an alternate basketball tank top style jerseys.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Doesn't it say Sincy on the black one.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I think it says c I n c Y. Yeah,
well you're the binocular guy, but either way.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Yeah, well it reminds me remember the Cincinnati Reds of
the nineties had those weird uniforms, the two piece uniforms
with the.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Vast the best and the red T shirt.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
The thing under it.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
So they've always been a little bit innovative progressive in
that regard. Yeah, you got another guy in the basketball
jersey over there near center field, closer to centerfield. So yeah,
it looks like, you know, it's hot. It's it's it's
humid in Cincinnati. I'm imagining this time of.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Year, and we love the idea that it's like a
utility player. That's like, hey, guys, I got an idea.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
They also have a tops.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I mean, you know they got they have a football
down there, they have basketball jerseys. Yet they are a
professional baseball team who has lost two straight. I got
to keep it loose, man. They lost two straight to
the Los Angeles Dodgers. As it is sho Hao Tawny
Bobblehead night, the Dodgers look much more uniform warming up,
except for Clayton Kershaw in his signature nineteen nineties giant
(39:46):
cutoff T shirt where you can see all his nipples
when the wind blows and it just floops out from
the front of him.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
He's going to join us in an hour, Clayton Kershaw
is going to What a day for us? We get
Dave Roberts for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Well that's Matt.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
You know, you partner up with a corporate sponsor and
all of a sudden, all these guys that have been
running scared for years will come on the show and
yuck it up and even have a laugh, like Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Will Smith last segment, Clayton Kershaw less than an hour?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
What time? Three forty five?
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Shooting for three forty five five is what we're looking
at coming off a hell of a start. Clayton too,
what I realized watching that game was last night, right
last night is uh, he's and I don't know if
he I don't know if he does the water thing,
if he just if he gets his hair get hair.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, that's the John, the John Papadakis.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Yeah, where you think you're They just go to the
bathroom and they come out with the wet look, right,
or they put a bunch of water in their hair.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
And you know this is I think this is the
most important question we're gonna ask him when he joins us.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Is it the wet look?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Do you hit the mound having doused your hair and
water to keep you cool, or do you sweat profusely
and by the end of the first inning your hair
is already doused.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
I would say it's probably I'm thinking of water. That
perfect mix would be my guest. Do you think it's
jel I think you think. I don't think it's I
don't think it's product. I don't think he's got place
flawed us in there. But I think that I think
you're right. I think he wets it down and I
think he Sweatsu, Matt, we do have some textosos in regard.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
To line brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
We make it easy for the two interviews that we
did to start out this hour. This one says Dave
Roberts a true Serenity Brother, and that is true if
the serenity now was ever embodied in a person, and
obviously it didn't work for us.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
On the show, we're not capable of it.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Well, I mean, we might bring it back, but I
think Dave Roberts is the original Serenity Brother as opposed
to Panic Brother.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
I feel like Iskity Brother, and he would immediately say
come on, guys.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
I mean, I guess you would say.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Those were the two biggest brothers on the Dodgers' payroll,
which is Dave Roberts and Will Smith that we talked
to today, two very measured men that keep the Dodgers measured.
This text says, remind money how strongly he objected to
the angels sleevelet vest UNI's back in two thousand and two.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
I did. I did the periwinkle. That was when they
had the A with the wing on it, and I
was pushing for the return of the iconic Angels uniform,
the Fred Lynn era Don Baylor era Angels.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Und Land Farmer, Petrosen, money gas and I'm like, what.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
What are we doing now?
Speaker 4 (42:36):
We're going periwinkle with a vest when you have these
great uniforms in your past, that beautiful block a Angels
with the halo around it, and we got a periwinkle
with a wing on it and now it's a vest.
Thank you for reminding me of that. Yeah, that was
a big campaign that went nowhere. I didn't remind most
of my issues. A text also, or did did you
you campaign for that?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
On K did? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (42:57):
That was a big K Rock campaign, Like can we
just get the Conic nineteen eighties Angels uniforms back? Stop
trying to be relevant for your wacky uniform combinations.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
This text says, dear God, please no serenity Brothers. Well,
we just had two on Dave Roberts and Will Smith
Will try not to pull it out again. I'm sorry,
Dave Roberts, Will appreciate hearing about coc count on call.
Why didn't you do it?
Speaker 4 (43:21):
I forgot I would have. I absolutely would have too,
I promise I would have. I totally spaced. Thanks a lot, Matt,
you know we got something here. Dave called count on call.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
You're like the guy who's high and you send him
down to the liquor store and he comes back with nothing,
and he's like, I freaked out, I don't have anything.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Listen, I've done that before. That's which, That's absolutely right.
Where's all the stuff?
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (43:43):
I freaked out. I just got in there. Man, Why
did I give you my money?
Speaker 4 (43:45):
What the hell I bought this candy?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Totally forgot, dude, I forgot what you said you would go.
I'm gonna have a gnarly skate. I'm gonna go down there.
I'm gonna get everything. Okay, go, Yeah, I forgot a
very special.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Inside the Locker Room is the episode where Kate's confronts
Matt about his drug use.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
You're supposed to go to the gas station and bring
us off that sandwich.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
It's been a very special, Petro said, money inside the
locker Room, but not like you know, when Tody loses
her virginity on Facts Alive, We're not twoty. Natalie Touty
tried first, but Natalie pulled it off.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
With Bob Romanez, he's trying to like go over the
wall and catch it arena football league style.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Matt, you let these people warm up. These are baseball professionals.
You know they're gonna warm up in the way they
want to warm up. They want to throw a football
around like Gino Smith.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
You let them.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
You like how they catch it and then tuck it
like they're actually playing.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Hey, you know, I tuck it like I'm actually playing
football player warming to look at catch.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
Oh you ney catches, break a finger catch tuck. Guy's
got a little sizzle on that thing. Man.
Speaker 8 (44:54):
That guy does have a pretty good horman. Whoever that
guy is, he's I had a bit of a host
you know. You learn that every once in a while
on a football team where it's like some guy like
some right tackles like yeah, and you're like, whoa, what
happened when this guy's harm Another text, Matt, I have
(45:15):
to admit David Vasse has been rather pleasant lately, and
I decided I hate it. I want Dave the d
back on deck. Dave is being a little weird about
coming on today. Right did he say he's coming on?
Speaker 4 (45:27):
I said three point thirty in the suite and he wrote,
ha ha ha I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Well, he has, we saw him walking in in his suit.
He's TV.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
Dave is a different Dave by it is and it's
a big night. Oh, Tani's on the mound. It's Otani Bobblehead.
It's sold out. There's already a considerable crowd that we
had to fight through in the concourse because they're doing tours.
There's a tour to our left right now of Japanese
tourists who we got caught in a tour walking over here.
I got caught in between two. Well look we got
(45:56):
a third right here to our left.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I think that's one of the ones. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:59):
So it's an incredibly busy day here at Dodger Stadium,
and Dave's gonna be on TV. Who knows he may
get Otani.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
I'm sending a text that says, are you coming up
at three thirty or too busy? And the word on
the street is that Clayton Kershaw is going to join us.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Well, we could always do Dave on the field right
before Clayton.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
Clayton's three forty five on the field, we can do
Dave three thirty on the field.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
I'm staying up here with my beach.
Speaker 4 (46:21):
I think I'm gonna go down in my shorts. Oh
I can't. You don't think I should go down your
Glomar Swell Guy shirt? I figured, you know what, if
I wear it, I can do some advertising for John
And then I'm hoping the players like, is that the
ald Glowmar logo? You know the bath that Chipper used
to use? And Manny and I'll be like, hey, absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
I know the guy that'll make it for you. Brother,
what are you swinging? Let me see what I can do.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
Inst grand model over here, Maney.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Right, And you guys got hats.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
I was hoping you'd sport those and go down on
the field and we can just be team Glomar.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Oh, let's go all day. I know you will. You
really want to? You don't want me to go down
on the field. No, you can't. You sure? Yeah? Hey
you got pants?
Speaker 4 (46:59):
Keep it on?
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I have any pins? Yeah? Right? You want to wear mine?
I'm only a thirty eight.
Speaker 4 (47:03):
I'm a thirty one right now. It's embarrassing. I think
I'm a thirty Actually she's I had thirty twos from
Travis Matthew and they're too big.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
These in a car, these are thirty four's and they're loose.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
Yeah, well she's got a skirt on.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
If she's got a skirt, can I roll down? That's
a woman. She's got a skirt.
Speaker 4 (47:23):
I'm built like a woman. I feel like it's you know,
I mean, I see a guy down there. Can I
just pretend like I'm carrying some equipment. All those guys
that run the cameras and do the equipment stuff are.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
In shorts like a truck guy.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Yeah, Like, can I be a dugh guy and just
be in shorts?
Speaker 2 (47:38):
We'll do the word number song coming up next.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
I'm only wearing shorts because I don't have anything matches
a black shirt. I don't wear.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
Black A lot brought to you by Verizon The Petres
and Money Show Live from Dodger Stadium. A big thank
you to Dave Roberts and Will Smith. We will talk
to Clayton Kershaw and David Vassa as the show continues.
We're only on till two thirty. Stay tuned on AMPI

Matt money Smith.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
The pipes, the pipes, the pipe. Don't miss an episode.
We're with you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the petros in Money Show. Wherever you get

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without
losing your temper or self confidence.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I was trying. Look going meet you petros in Money
AM five to seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. We are underneath Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I've done the show here we have not. No, we
did at Kershaw. We did talk to Kersher to Kershaw,
the same room down here, same room. We had a
Kershaw inside the locker room from right here. It is
the interview room underneath Dodger Stadium. Dodgers Reds Galpin Motors
Broadcast booth. It is a getaway game for Cincinnati, yet
first pitch is still going to be at five forty pm.
We got into that with David Vesse yesterday. Dodgers on
(01:20):
deck at four point thirty. It is Sho hal Tani
fifty to fifty bobblehead. And the good news is is
we had to get to Dodgers Stadium a little bit
earlier today. If in fact, they had not made the
adjustment to give one away for every single person with
a paid ticket, we would have been met with considerable resistance.
There was still a line when I rolled up. I
know you saw it as well. Sho hal Tani fifty
(01:42):
to fifty bobblehead night. And in the Dodgers wisdom, everybody
with a paid ticket gets the bobblehead. And that's interesting
because I had some friends that were in New York City,
New York City last week and they went to a
Mets game, and they went to a Yankee game, and
they went to the Mets game and it was one
Soto bobblehead night.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Okay, he's a seven hundred and fifty million dollars star,
and they had a cut off. They only gave away
a certain amount, okay, and I'm not sure about that,
but I know that there was an Aaron Judge Bobblehead
Night that they also went to and that had a
cut off as well, and they said it was absolutely
chaos at Yankee Stadium, New Yankee Stadium or whatever they
(02:24):
call it. So the Dodgers have figured out how to
deal with ough Taddi Bobblehead Night better than any other franchise.
And we credit them for that because they adjusted on
the fly. The first one was not everybody, it was
forty thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well that people were unhappy.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
There was a line down to sunset at ten am
and David vasse is calling us and freaking out. I
couldn't even get out of a goadline.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It was like nine am.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And then they're like, okay, here's the adjustment. God bless them.
We still ran into slight resistance. But you know, it's
like one of those five pound resistance bands.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I heard about the New York City and I was
very proud to be associated with the Dodgers, as we
are your Dodger station. Like Matt said, Dodgers reds tonight.
The reason we're down here is because of Verizon, our
friends at Verizon who are hosting Dave Roberts tomorrow at
the Verizon store in Pasadena located at three six eight
(03:19):
South Lake Avenue, from five to six. The event starts
at four, so show up early for your chance to
win tickets and merch. That's tomorrow with Dave Roberts in Pasadena,
and it's all brought to you by Verizon. And this
here in the Dodger Media Room is also brought to
you by Verizon.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
What are we going to be doing?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, We're going to talk to Will Smith a little
bit later this hour. We have not talked to Will
in quite a while, so we'll have can begle that.
And very similarly to how they were kind enough, our
friends at Verizon to bring us Anthony Banda and bring
us Ben Caspirius, they're going to bring you the people.
Dave Roberts tomorrow on his day off, instead of hanging
out and taking a breather, he wants to see all
(04:02):
of you, you great Dodger fans, three sixty eight South
Lake Avenue from five to six pm. As you said,
P And as a precursor to that, our friends at
Verizon we're kind enough to say, you know what, let's
give Petro some money, a little bit of taste to this.
Let's give them a couple scraps here.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, they gave us a taste.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
And not only do we get to talk to Will Smith,
but to have Dave Roberts, the pride of UCLA, hero
here in this city and a real stud when it
comes to winning baseball, to the championships. He's brought the
dream of World Series championships to the city of Los Angeles,
(04:39):
to the Dodger franchise. And I tell you, what what
a wild year it's been. What a crazy August. How
do you do it? How do you stay measured? And
we have Will Smith on next, He's maybe even more
measured than you. But how do you stay so measured
when it seems like there's so much chaos around you
and it's so hot outside.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
It is definitely hot outside, not in here, that's right
right here, This is great, this is perfect. You know,
how do I get so measured or stay so measured?
I do a good job of keeping it inside. And
I just think that right now, And you guys know
me pretty well. And I think optics is a lot,
(05:17):
especially when you're in a leadership position, and I think
that for me, I try to stay as even keeled
because I don't like to ride the wave because players
and fans do it enough. And so I think that
if people can look at at a you know, manager
or a leader to kind of remain steadfast and calm,
I think that kind of balances things out. So, yeah,
(05:39):
it's been a crazy year, unpredictable. That's what makes baseball
so great. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. We're
sort of now where I think we're hit our stride
a little bit. And but yeah, I think the one
thing that I think people can look to me is
consistency and of kind of my demeanor. I'm never going
to be Tomulus sorta or pat Riley, you know, or
(06:02):
John Gruden or whoever was it, you know, fiery, you know, Yeah,
it's just and I can be fiery at times and
some of the things I'd like to have back, some
of my moments of fire. But that's part of it too.
But I do think that we're training in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We you know, it's September, well it's almost September. It's
August twenty seventh. You got twenty nine games left. I
think you're in a tight race, you know, and you've
had septembers where you've just kind of been cruising. You've
had septembers where it's gone down to the very last
day in Colorado to decide who's going to win the division.
Kind of take us through. Do you manage differently? Does
it feel differently? Do you like one? I would assume
(06:39):
you like a cushion a little bit more than the other.
But what are the benefits of kind of being in
this situation.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I think the benefits are your margin is certainly less.
Every play matters, and with that the performance should should raise,
the level of play should be raised. So I think,
to your question, how do I manage it? I think
I manage more with urgency and not let things play out,
because yeah, we're in a penny RaSE.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Like it or not.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
But I do think that because of that. You know,
if you look at the last four games, the intensity
we've played with the focus urgency has been better, whereas
if we had an eight game lead, I don't know
if we had have the same response. So that's a
good thing. And I do believe that, you know, taking
this into September is going to be of benefit.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
When we get to do these sort of things. And
a big thank you to our partners, our partners at
Verizon for helping us put this thing together. Sometimes we
like to look back a little bit, exactly, look back
a little bit, and I don't know if we've had
like an extended conversation out that this will be about
twenty twenty and just what a crazy because you know
we were going to talk to MOOKI that was something
(07:45):
that was going to come up. And I can kind
of remember how incredible he was on that run. So
digging through that, you kind of forget you got to
win two out of three in the wildcard round even
though you guys were playing it like a six fifty clip,
and then you have the padres your rival in the
next divisional round. What how different was that run from
any other run you've been on, none of those games
(08:06):
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
It was It was hard. It was, I mean, to
be quite frank, it was harder than you know, baking
everything in. It was harder than what we went through
last year. It really was. And it is interesting how
you know, some people you know, put the asterisk er
say this or that about twenty twenty, and these are
the same people because I think we're all in the
same camp in the sense of twenty twenty was something
(08:30):
that no one would ever want to revisit and how
difficult it was. And then now you layer in on
trying to play a sport and win a championship, So
all the stuff that everyone else had to you know,
encumber and go through, we had to go through that
and still perform. And so yeah, it was very difficult
not being with your families, and so I would argue
(08:51):
that it was harder than twenty twenty four and so
but yeah, looking back, it was just such a crazy time,
a lot of unknown, a lot of fear. I don't
even think that US as a country as have we've
even come out of this fully. And I just think that,
you know, in the sense of just kind of you know,
(09:13):
the cynicism, the just the sounding off and some people
just kind of not really out there as much as
they used to be before twenty So yeah, because a
lot of things are more remote, so you're not having
the same conversations in person. So there's a lot of
things that we just really haven't readjusted to or will
we ever.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
But yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I mean I think that as far as our twenty
twenty four club, we had some guys, some carry over
from twenty twenty, but I do think that we got
better knowing that we got through it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You can't manage on a zoom, no, no, no, you
can pull the picture on a zoom, you.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Know, yeah, you can't do that. I mean, honestly, and
no fans.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And I look back at some of the games in
the postseason or the regular season games having no fans,
and every player will say that they get their motivation
and their energy from the fans, right, and so did
not have fans and kind of piped in music.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I mean, that's bananas.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
It was weird brought I brought it up because, you know,
like I said with the Mooki thing, I was going
through the Snell start and I was like, Mookie was
the next batter. He was the guy on deck when
they yanked Snell and brought in Anderson and then bang,
bass knock and the rally starts. Have you and Snell
ever talked about the World Series from twenty twenty Has
that ever come up? Because man was he dealing in
that game?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
So we haven't really I just you know, right before
I got on air, right here, I just saw Blake
because he just came back from paternity and expecting to
make his start on Friday, and so it's just ironic
that you asked that question. But I've never talked to
him about it. And yeah, no, never.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Gonna let him bring it up if he wants to.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
If he brings it up, and I'll just thank him
for coming out of the gate.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Roberts is our guest, the skipper of the Dodgers, known
as Doc Roberts, and one of the proprietors along with
the Great Rich Aurelia Grete thirty five.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
The Red Stitch Winery.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Petros, I got some here, so now you guys are
on site. So now I got someone coming, so yes, horn,
so it's coming.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
There you go, The Red Stitch Winery, one of the
great wine and a beautiful bottle, a hefty bottle that
makes you feel like you're holding a big bat. You
know that you're about to hit hit one out of
the park.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
That's a good marketing slogan, like you're holding a big bat.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
There you go. That's right, just came up. Done.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You have you got show Hao TONI pitching a night,
it's a show Hao Tony bobblehead night. I don't know
if that resonates much with you guys inside the building
other than the people lined up outside. But for you,
what's it like managing him compared to what you thought
it would be like? I don't know if you think
a lot about what these guys are going to be like,
like we just mentioned Snell and until they're actually you know,
(11:51):
in your clubhouse, But what is what is it like
managing show Hao Tony And how different is it than
what you thought it would be?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Like?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I think managing show Hay is certainly very It's easier
than I thought in the in the sense of building
the relationship. He's very respectful, he wants to be great,
He's open to thoughts, suggestions, he just wants to be
like everyone else one of the guys. I think the
(12:23):
thing that's been really different, which I think that you
can expect it, but until you live it on the
day to day, you just can't really imagine. And what
it is is all that comes with Show Hey, the fan,
the fanfare, the media and you know, even my media.
(12:44):
It's two three X and what it was before Show
Hey came so that's stuff that you really can't really anticipate.
But as far as having him on our ball club,
in our organization, you just see the level of interest, fandom, excitement,
you know, for the and that's been great for all
of us.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I know it's and I think I'll kind of put
this pretext on it, like baseball's just not what it
was when Clayton Kershaw first started pitching, when guys were
gonna throw one hundred and thirty, one hundred and forty
pitches and have complete games. So I say that while
recognizing this is one of the best months that Kersh's
ever had. I mean, he's the five starts a sub
to era. You've won every game that he's pitched in.
(13:24):
You've seen him a ton kind of what what are
we watching? What are you watching right now? How well
is he pitching with? Kind of and you're a guy
that played in your mid late thirties, like, how is
he doing it?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
What are you watching? What are we watching right now?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I think that we're watching obviously we're watching greatness, you know.
I think that it's it's kind of obviously a combination
of talent, experience, just sheer will and grit and finding
a way to have success. And I think that you've
(13:59):
seen him in the last month, you know, pitch differently,
use different pitches, go to different quadrants to find ways
to ultimately just get guys out and help your ball
club win. And that's kind of some of the things
that as you know us as sports fans, where you see,
whether it's in football, you know, you see Joe Montana
(14:19):
back in the day where he wasn't Joe Montana with
the Niners and he still finds a way to make
big plays. Or you see the Chiefs with the Chiefs,
or you see you know Brady, or you see Michael
Jordan at the end, or you see Magic or Larry
Bird and guys that just don't have the same physical
what they had, but they're so great and they just
refuse to lose and they're going to find any way
(14:41):
to have success. And Clayton right now is knowing that
he doesn't have the Blake Snell stuff, the Tyler Glassnell stuff,
but there's no reason why he can't go out there
and help his team win.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So I just.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Really, you know, just when I didn't think I could
get any more respect for Clayton, it just continues to rise.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The one and only Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Tomorrow He's at the Verizon store in Pasadena at three
six eight South Lake Avenue from five to six and
the event starts at four. Show up early. There'll be
a chance to win tickets and merch. That's tomorrow in
Pasadena and all of this this inside the locker room
we're doing for about an hour. We have Dave Roberts
and Will Smith coming up next. Is brought to you
by our dear friends at Verizon who made it here
(15:26):
into the bowels of Dodger Stadium and I got a
Verizon phone and.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Guess what it works under here.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
When was the last time you rocked the Sinister nineties
early two thousand goateee?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You know what I mean? Because that was like that
was you were synonymous with that.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I was, I was like the Westwood go tee.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I think once I went to the Giants that the
dreaded team up North in two thousand and eight, that's
when I kind of did away with the goat I think.
And also as you start to return, and it hasn't
because I think one of the things that you got
to fake it to you make it so I now
got gray hair, as we all do. So now I
(16:06):
shave because I don't because when you start seeing grays,
they've been I'm a gray beard, and it was like, God, dang,
Doc is so stressed. He's getting old. He looks like
President Obama right now. So it's like, so now if
I shave, at least I can fake people and still
say I look young, I'm not stressed. And then if
I go goat, it's like, you know, Davy Lopes or
(16:28):
anyone with that gray goat, and I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The level of leadership that you've reached, you know, and
the way we could we cover coaches and managers like
you is the way we cover Bill Belichick or Phil
Jackson or these guys. And you know, they all have
these different idiosyncrasies. Phil Jackson giving guys books, Bill Belichick
chewing rocks in front of people, and the hoodies and
(16:52):
the hoodie and the cutoff you have cut them off,
all that stuff. Do you do that kind of stuff
with players? Do you do you give them a bottle
of a vert?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I mean, what do you do? You have something that
you do?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Do you share a poem with them or a quote
or or or it seems a little more straightforward.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
It's it's certainly it's straightforward, but it's nuanced. It's it's
a little bit more of I'm not afraid to give
away wine, pay for a meal if I see him on.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The road, make a lot of money now.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I uh, I you know, I think
for me, it's I try to make them my own
in the sense of I try to treat them as
my own kids. And where Clayton, as we were talking about,
that's more of like a little brother situation. But I
try to teach a lot of these guys like my
or have that relationship, and then with that it goes anywhere,
(17:46):
you know, whether I'll take guys out golfing or you know,
we'll grab a bite or just kind of sit with
them and chat about life in general. So it is straightforward,
but it's more soft edges versus chewing rocks or you know,
wearing a hoodie.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Well, I hope, no, I hope the La Times doesn't
see us in here and think we're having a secret meeting.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Right.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
You know, I don't know where the heck that came from,
because the thing is, that's one of those things where, uh,
Mookie comes into my office all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Players.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, I guess, I guess that's that's big news. And
there's strife in the Dodger clubhouse, I guess so. So, yeah,
he popped in and you know, that kind of went
viral for for a quick second. Fortunately for a quick second.
But yeah, there was nothing to that. And I think
it's a good thing that players come in and want to.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Try do you block out all that noise, because like
you guys have such a reputation. We talked about it
being measured and then beyond that, this team, you know,
is not overly emotional. That's something that the pundits talk
about where you know, you guys get down, but you
find a way to.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Fight back, just like the playoffs last year. Yeah, block
it out.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
That's something that I do block out. But that's something
I am sensitive to because that's certainly a reflection on
the leadership and if there is kind of a division
in the clubhouse, right, and so that all the other stuff.
I just don't like drama in our clubhouse. I like
to go out and you know, represent the fans, the organization,
(19:12):
this great organization of the Dodge. And I think that
since my tenure. I think that if you look at
our organization, we've been very consistent in how we perform,
how we play, and Andrew Friedman has obviously what we've
worked alongside each other, and that's the consistency. And yeah,
and the drama that comes with other teams and or organizations,
we don't have that. So that's something I'm a little
(19:34):
bit sensitive to. And fortunately there was nothing to that though.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
You uh, you got a Pennant race. We talked about it,
and you got some younger guys on your team, just
in terms of you know, how you how you manage them,
Dalton Rushing and Andy Pie's and I know he was
here last year, but how often you use them, You're
you're a game up on the padres just kind of
what goes into that, especially if they're on the playoff
roster and you know you had Andy in a handful
(19:57):
of games last year in the postseason.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, you know it. It's interesting and difficult in the
same because when you're the Dodgers or you're a big
market team expecting to win a championship each year, and
you want to win not only this year, but you
know beyond, you can't have all veterans, because if you do,
then you're going to time out and then when you
kind of reload, you're gonna have guys that are in experience.
(20:20):
So the subtlety the art of it is how do
you introduce young players to not put too much on
them to get the experience so at some point in
time they can be the guys. And even last year,
you know, Andy played the lion's share of the outfield,
but then for me, at the end of the day,
I didn't feel that he was ready meant emotionally or
(20:41):
performance wise to warn a lot of it back. So
he didn't play a lot during the postseason, but he
had the big game against the Mets. But this year,
I think he's taken a step beyond so that he's
going to be an integral part of our postseason this year.
But having rushing to get you know even that at
Battery ground to the play, but then the next day
(21:02):
and it's lasted, bat hits a home in a big spot,
So that's growth. And then so we're getting an opportunity
to have Freeland play a lot, working alongside Mooki and
get cut his teeth, and that's going to help us
going forward. So yeah, losing guys certainly isn't good, but
it gives other guys opportunities and that I think, you know,
Caspirius Dryer on the pitching side, So that was Vessia
(21:27):
years ago and Henriquez this year. So these are guys
that were starting to blend in with our veteran guys.
That's going to help us, you know, not only for
twenty four, but twenty five and well beyond.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He Petros mentioned the go tee and I don't know
why I popped into my brain, but I just remember.
I can't find it, but I remember a baseball card
and it was like kind of a close up and
you could really see that sinister go tea. Do you
do you have all of your baseball cards? Do you
have a favorite? Is it an action shot? Is it throwing?
Is it running? Is it hitting? Do you remember one
that you were like, oh, yeah, Tops, Tops, did me
(21:59):
right in this one.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
So I don't know if I have all of them.
I have a lot of them. There was one I
was at Dodger Stadium in a day game. I was
wearing my white uniform and I was coming around second
towards third, and I think both of my feet were
off the ground and I was legging out a triple.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
That one.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
That one's right there, it is and it is Is
it a Tops?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It is a Tops two thousand and three, Tops number
five forty four.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
So that one is like sort of I'm looking down
the line. It might not have been a dog.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
It might have been Shay Stadium or no, because I'm
wearing white, so that's Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
So that's one.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
And then I got my rookie rookie when I was
a young kid wearing my Detroit Tigers. That was my
first baseball card I had, So I was like, man,
I got a baseball card. There's another one. I think
there was another one where I win the World Series
in the Red Sox and I was sliding, uh, and
I slid and kind of did a little pirouet in.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
A Red Sox.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
But you know what's cool is that playing cards are
coming back.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. By the way,
look at that.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yeah, I was sort of jacked right there when.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You noticed my radio partner's got to wear bigger T
shirts now because he's getting jet.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Founds swolled up. Though. Uh, you know, it's Dave Roberts
d R. That's why Doc Roberts.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
It's so simple, very simple, get complicated, yet complicated.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Very layered. That's a lot of a lot of layers.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
You are a real fountain of success and inspiration for
a lot of people in this city. Watching you control
this team over the years, amongst incredible criticism because it's
the Dodgers a year in and year out has been
an absolute joy. So a big thank you to you
and our friends at Verizon for having you come down
and do this. Enjoy your day off tomorrow. We know
(23:51):
you're going out to see the people.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
It's gonna be fun. You know what I think.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
The last time I was at, if I'm not mistaken,
that same Verizon store, I was there maybe in two
thousand and three or four when I was with the Dodgers.
So it's a it's a while, so it'll be fun.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah again, it's gonna be out in Pasadena, three sixty
eight South Lake Avenue. The event starts at four. You
got a shot at winning some tickets, some merch, and
then Dave's gonna be there from five until six pm.

keeping the Dodger theme going here.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, we got one of our favorites, Dodger catcher and
an overall measured man, the guy who stays even keel
at all times, barely even see his teeth because he's
so serious about baseball, and you've got to be serious
about baseball this time of year. In the Pennant Stretch,
it's Will Smith, the pride of Louisville, joining us right
(25:58):
now on the Petrosen Money Show on a five seventy
LA Sports on your Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Here in
the Dodger media room where these guys get grilled by
the media. Well, do you have any crazy memories of
this room.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Of this room? Yeah, man, yeah, a lot of posts,
interviews and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Contract signings.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
Yeah, contract signing was a big one, right one last year?
Right yeah, yeah, very exciting. So yeah, good room.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
What about You know what usually for these we like
to look back a little bit, which I know is weird.
You still got, you know, nearly thirty games left in
the season, but would love to ask you, because you
just got out of San Diego just kind of going
back to that Game four last year, the bullpen game,
because Mookie's got the huge homer to get you started.
You end up kind of hitting what felt like was
(26:45):
the game changing home run to put you up five
to nothing. What was if you can remember, what was
the vibe like going in down to one, You're catching
a bullpen game, sort of what are you thinking going
into that contest?
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Yeah, I mean, obviously it was a bullpen game. You know,
I was going to be piecing it together there, you know,
out by out, so yeah, but you know the vibe
was we were still really confident. We we trusted that
we were gonna get it done. You know, we never
lost faith. We always believed it in each other and
ourselves that we were gonna win. We're gonna win Game
four and then you know, go to Game five and
then you know, win that. So yeah, Mookie got it started.
(27:19):
We we you know, that was that incredible run the
pitchers did of twenty something straight shutout innings. So yeah,
that was some good baseball we were playing right then,
and uh yeah I got it done.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It seemed like, I know, just speaking you know, from
the fans kind of perspective, it felt like that was
the most intense game of them all. Sorry that share
was something I might have done something to it. I apologize,
but it felt like that was like the most intense. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
I mean in a series, the you know, the deciding
games are always the most intense. You know, it's winner
and go home at that point. So yeah, you gotta
stay alive, and that's what we did, and then forced
the game five and won that one.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
What's your mindset around this time of year? I mean,
it's hot outside, it's a Pennant race. You got to
put all that stuff on most nights, uh, and you're
still playing great. How do you measure yourself out and
get through every day? What is your approach to do it?
And has it changed now that you're an older guy
thirty years old signed up so you're fifty.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's it's more I feel like
what you've done prior to this time of year, you know,
taking care of your body, staying ahead of stuff and
all of that.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Austin Barnes been with you, you know, for a long time,
and now you're here in in Dalton. Rushing is coming up.
Kind of what's that relationship? Like, Kevin Dalton? How nice
has it been to have him around? Give you a
couple of days off there.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Yeah, he's been good. You know, it's uh, he's a
rookie player. He's definitely young. He's got stuff to learn,
but yeah, just trying to help him, help him through it.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
You know.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
The other day the big homer against the podview try,
the biggest swing in his career so far. So yeah,
it's it's been fun to work with them.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
You know.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I think he's been a really good player. Uh yeah,
you just gotta go out there, relax, have some fun
and uh yeah, just show everybody's got.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Do you relate with with him as a young player, Uh,
thinking about yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
When you were new around here running around.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
It's it's the Dodgers. We expect to win. You expect,
you know, the guy, you expect a lot out of him, right,
and you expect, especially a catcher to be able to
lead a staff and all that stuff. So it was
a lot thrown at him right away. You know when
I came up, it was a lot thrown at me. So,
you know, a little bit relating in that that sense.
But uh yeah, I think he's been doing a pretty
good job, you know, defensively, behind the play, carrying the staff.
(29:36):
There's always there's always mistakes made. I mean, we all
make mistakes, but just talking through them so we don't
do them again.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
We were talking about this the other day with with
Andy Paez and kind of looking at how your postseasons
went from when you got in your first postseason and
then you know, just kind of you had that one
breakout here. I think it might have been your third
postseason when it felt like you really announced, you know,
your your arrival. What do you feel like when you're young,
when you're young in the playoffs show up? I know
Andy went through it last year and ended up having
that one really good game against the Mets individually, but
(30:04):
kind of how how different is it when when we're
talking about counting on some of those young guys.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Yeah, I mean to me, it's more like, you know,
one a bad in the postseason seems like ten throughout
the regular season. Right It's there's there's more drama, there's
more pressure, there's more expectations, there's more you know, there's
more attension to failure. To just be able to deal
with all that, you know, being able to just slow
the game down. You know, the game speeds up on guys,
(30:29):
and it's almost who can slow the game down better?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Can you feel like your heart rate or you shaken?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Like really you know at times, you know, the crowds,
the crowds are allowed, they're intense, you know, you on
the road, they're you know, intense the other way. So, yeah,
it's just being able to control everything, being able to
you know, stick to your approach, being able to stick
within your swing, do the job that's asking you in
that moment. And you know, I'm just trying not to
do too much.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
We are live at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
First pitch is at five forty tonight show Heyl Toddy
with the Bobblehead, the fifty to fifty Bobblehead joining us
now all star Dodger Catcher, three times Will Smith and
two times of course World Series Champion, and we're grateful
for the time. We know you're very busy this time
of year and it's a grind, but hey, at least
it's not David Vasse right.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Yeah, exactly, I mean, yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I mean when you're on the road and you know,
maybe you know, you just got an argument with a
family member or something, and you see his big face,
does it bother you? Is it fun to be around Dave?
Like you can be honest with us? He used to
produce this show, I know.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I mean, I feel the best part about Dave is
talking crap with him, you know, making fun of him
and stuff. So yeah, no, we have fun with it.
He's great, he's uh, you know, he's he's super, he's
super fun to be around, takes it all well, it's fun.
So yeah, I know we like him.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I imagine most of the guys coming up in Kentucky
that you were catching were English speaking, and you got
three Japanese pitchers on this staff. How different is it
communicating with those guys? How much of a of a
of a difference is it from a guy you know,
like Kershaw or somebody like that.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Yeah, I mean, we obviously have the interpreters and stuff
that help, but you know, baseball, lingos, baseball and go,
you know, we can we can still communicate. I guess
I'll have a mountin visit by myself and and get
a message across. But the interpreters help, you know show
Yoh uh they know English pretty well rookies. He actually
knows English pretty well too. So yeah, it's just making
(32:28):
sure we're communating, communicating clearly, and uh yeah, it's not
it's really not too.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Hard speaking of a kershaw. I mean, what an incredible month. Uh,
you've caught them all and I'm looking at it here.
I'm sure you know better than we do. But twenty
eight and two thirds a one eight eight era. Uh,
just you've caught him for a long time. Like what's
going on this year with him? I know he's been great,
you know when he was great last year before he
got hurt. But man, this stretch is quite incredible. How
(32:54):
is he doing it?
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, it's impressive, you know, I think you know with him,
he he can just he can just make pitch better
than anyone. You know, he can execute what he's trying
to do better than anybody. And you know he puts
the preparation in to study the hitters. He knows, you know,
what the hitters are trying to do, what they're looking
at and he's able to adapt off of that just
with the game seeing what he's seeing from the game.
(33:16):
So yeah, I think it's just a combo of that.
But you know, most importantly, he just executes pitch after
pitch and it gets.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Out last one. For me. Will just you've been in
both situations where it's been tight in September and when
you guys have had ten fifteen game leads, a lot
of people talk about, oh, it's going to be competitive
kind of like, what what does that feel like? What
is the difference in the vibe if there is one
at all for you guys.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Yeah, I think you know, I think when you have
the big leader, you're trying not to let it be
a thing where you don't want to let out the
gas pedal. And that's hard, right, It's hard to do
that for the last two weeks when you've already clinched
you've already clinched the number one spot or whatever, so
you still got to find a way to play for something.
But yeah, I mean, it's when you're still fighting for
the division two games left in the season, like the
(33:59):
foot never come off, you can't, So it's it's you're
trying not to let that happen, obviously, but yeah, this
year it's gonna be tight. It's gonna be tight to
the end. It's gonna be a real test for us
and uh and we've got to play good baseball.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Always measured, always ready, always a great catcher, one of
the best, Will Smith. Thank you so much for coming down.
Thanks guys, have a great week and stay healthy and
have a great end of the season in postseason. Well,
thank you so much for doing it.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, I gotta be honest, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I don't track as well as I used to on
some things, Like I'm getting older and things are harder
than for me, you know, just doing things, and just
to think with Dave yeh it is, you know, and
just to think what Dave Roberts has got to do
deal with all these people, deal with the media. He said,
his media availability is three times.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
What it was before show.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Hey, Otani got here, and it's not like he was
managing the Tampa Bay Rays before he got before. Yeah,
I mean the absolute top of the top, blue blood
and MLB franchise, the Dodgers, and just still has time
to talk to us and give us twenty four great
(36:47):
minutes of insight, and then still has time to meet
with all the Verizon people, and then still has time
to be with everybody at the Verizon store tomorrow Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Exactly right.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
And last minute, by the way, a big thank you
to Will Smith came through and we were supposed to
have Mookie, supposed to have Mookie, and then MOOKI canceled
about two hours, about an hour prior to us supposedly
getting him.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I was on the one ten when he canceled, Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
I was listening to the compelling Rogan and Rodney shows,
so I missed the text.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It's it's gate Sea, that's the one Ronnie likes.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Gate Sea and then you're gonna get the back door
out around the shipping containers. Just ignore those and you
will find your way. I'm a little distracted. It happens
all the time. What happened me long enough to know
that something catches my eye. I've been trying to piece
together because you know, there is no professional basketball team
in Cincinnati. They have the Bengals, they have the Reds,
(37:40):
they don't have a hockey team, they don't have a
basketball team.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
So they had the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Exactly right, And McK cronin is certainly proud to point
out that they have the Cincinnati Bearcats.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
At Ohio State doesn't want a piece of the bear Cats.
I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I'm right, they don't, not that blue collar mentality of
the Bearcats. But the Cincinnati Reds are all wearing basketball
jerseys to warm up in and it's a hot day,
it's in the nineties, and so I'm like, are they
wearing Chicago Bulls jersey? I'm just thinking, like, you know,
one's black, one's white, one's red. And then I realized,
I think they're customized Cincinnati Reds, you know, like you
(38:16):
have your batting practice right, light warm up short. I
think the Reds have made cleveless. This would be great
for you, Matt.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I mean you could be a Cincinnati Red.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
I could show off my arms. You would be on
real yeah, with your huge arms. But something that I
would politic for. Hey, guys, I think we should be
wearing tank tops. Yeah, it looks like show off the pipe.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
It looks like the Reds have a home and away
right and an alternate basketball tank top style jerseys.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Doesn't it say Sincy on the black one.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I think it says c I n c Y. Yeah,
well you're the binocular guy, but either way.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Yeah, well it reminds me remember the Cincinnati Reds of
the nineties had those weird uniforms, the two piece uniforms
with the.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Vast the best and the red T shirt.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
The thing under it.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
So they've always been a little bit innovative progressive in
that regard. Yeah, you got another guy in the basketball
jersey over there near center field, closer to centerfield. So yeah,
it looks like, you know, it's hot. It's it's it's
humid in Cincinnati. I'm imagining this time of.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Year, and we love the idea that it's like a
utility player. That's like, hey, guys, I got an idea.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
They also have a tops.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I mean, you know they got they have a football
down there, they have basketball jerseys. Yet they are a
professional baseball team who has lost two straight. I got
to keep it loose, man. They lost two straight to
the Los Angeles Dodgers. As it is sho Hao Tawny
Bobblehead night, the Dodgers look much more uniform warming up,
except for Clayton Kershaw in his signature nineteen nineties giant
(39:46):
cutoff T shirt where you can see all his nipples
when the wind blows and it just floops out from
the front of him.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
He's going to join us in an hour, Clayton Kershaw
is going to What a day for us? We get
Dave Roberts for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Well that's Matt.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
You know, you partner up with a corporate sponsor and
all of a sudden, all these guys that have been
running scared for years will come on the show and
yuck it up and even have a laugh, like Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Will Smith last segment, Clayton Kershaw less than an hour?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
What time? Three forty five?
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Shooting for three forty five five is what we're looking
at coming off a hell of a start. Clayton too,
what I realized watching that game was last night, right
last night is uh, he's and I don't know if
he I don't know if he does the water thing,
if he just if he gets his hair get hair.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, that's the John, the John Papadakis.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Yeah, where you think you're They just go to the
bathroom and they come out with the wet look, right,
or they put a bunch of water in their hair.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
And you know this is I think this is the
most important question we're gonna ask him when he joins us.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Is it the wet look?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Do you hit the mound having doused your hair and
water to keep you cool, or do you sweat profusely
and by the end of the first inning your hair
is already doused.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
I would say it's probably I'm thinking of water. That
perfect mix would be my guest. Do you think it's
jel I think you think. I don't think it's I
don't think it's product. I don't think he's got place
flawed us in there. But I think that I think
you're right. I think he wets it down and I
think he Sweatsu, Matt, we do have some textosos in regard.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
To line brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
We make it easy for the two interviews that we
did to start out this hour. This one says Dave
Roberts a true Serenity Brother, and that is true if
the serenity now was ever embodied in a person, and
obviously it didn't work for us.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
On the show, we're not capable of it.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Well, I mean, we might bring it back, but I
think Dave Roberts is the original Serenity Brother as opposed
to Panic Brother.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
I feel like Iskity Brother, and he would immediately say
come on, guys.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
I mean, I guess you would say.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Those were the two biggest brothers on the Dodgers' payroll,
which is Dave Roberts and Will Smith that we talked
to today, two very measured men that keep the Dodgers measured.
This text says, remind money how strongly he objected to
the angels sleevelet vest UNI's back in two thousand and two.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
I did. I did the periwinkle. That was when they
had the A with the wing on it, and I
was pushing for the return of the iconic Angels uniform,
the Fred Lynn era Don Baylor era Angels.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Und Land Farmer, Petrosen, money gas and I'm like, what.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
What are we doing now?
Speaker 4 (42:36):
We're going periwinkle with a vest when you have these
great uniforms in your past, that beautiful block a Angels
with the halo around it, and we got a periwinkle
with a wing on it and now it's a vest.
Thank you for reminding me of that. Yeah, that was
a big campaign that went nowhere. I didn't remind most
of my issues. A text also, or did did you
you campaign for that?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
On K did? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (42:57):
That was a big K Rock campaign, Like can we
just get the Conic nineteen eighties Angels uniforms back? Stop
trying to be relevant for your wacky uniform combinations.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
This text says, dear God, please no serenity Brothers. Well,
we just had two on Dave Roberts and Will Smith
Will try not to pull it out again. I'm sorry,
Dave Roberts, Will appreciate hearing about coc count on call.
Why didn't you do it?
Speaker 4 (43:21):
I forgot I would have. I absolutely would have too,
I promise I would have. I totally spaced. Thanks a lot, Matt,
you know we got something here. Dave called count on call.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
You're like the guy who's high and you send him
down to the liquor store and he comes back with nothing,
and he's like, I freaked out, I don't have anything.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Listen, I've done that before. That's which, That's absolutely right.
Where's all the stuff?
Speaker 1 (43:42):

Speaker 2 (43:43):

did I give you my money?
Speaker 4 (43:45):

I'm gonna have a gnarly skate. I'm gonna go down there.
I'm gonna get everything. Okay, go, Yeah, I forgot a
very special.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Inside the Locker Room is the episode where Kate's confronts
Matt about his drug use.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
You're supposed to go to the gas station and bring
us off that sandwich.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
It's been a very special, Petro said, money inside the
locker Room, but not like you know, when Tody loses
her virginity on Facts Alive, We're not twoty. Natalie Touty
tried first, but Natalie pulled it off.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
With Bob Romanez, he's trying to like go over the
wall and catch it arena football league style.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Matt, you let these people warm up. These are baseball professionals.
You know they're gonna warm up in the way they
want to warm up. They want to throw a football
around like Gino Smith.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
You let them.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
You like how they catch it and then tuck it
like they're actually playing.
Speaker 3 (44:42):

football player warming to look at catch.
Speaker 4 (44:50):

got a little sizzle on that thing. Man.
Speaker 8 (44:54):
That guy does have a pretty good horman. Whoever that
guy is, he's I had a bit of a host

on a football team where it's like some guy like
some right tackles like yeah, and you're like, whoa, what
happened when this guy's harm Another text, Matt, I have
(45:15):
to admit David Vasse has been rather pleasant lately, and
I decided I hate it. I want Dave the d
back on deck. Dave is being a little weird about
coming on today. Right did he say he's coming on?
Speaker 4 (45:27):
I said three point thirty in the suite and he wrote,
ha ha ha I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Well, he has, we saw him walking in in his suit.
He's TV.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
Dave is a different Dave by it is and it's
a big night. Oh, Tani's on the mound. It's Otani Bobblehead.
It's sold out. There's already a considerable crowd that we
had to fight through in the concourse because they're doing tours.
There's a tour to our left right now of Japanese
tourists who we got caught in a tour walking over here.
I got caught in between two. Well look we got

get Otani.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
I'm sending a text that says, are you coming up
at three thirty or too busy? And the word on
the street is that Clayton Kershaw is going to join us.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Well, we could always do Dave on the field right
before Clayton.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
Clayton's three forty five on the field, we can do
Dave three thirty on the field.
