Gong Me Ukes, Petros and Money SEVLA Sports Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Dodgers Rockies from the Gaupin Motors
Broadcast Booth at seven to ten PM, Dodgers on Deck
at six two hours from now. Adrian Gonzalez is going
to join us in our five o'clock hour to help
preview that game, and of course the remainder of the
Dodgers season. Seventeen games, a two game lead on the
padres and still a record I believe they are a
(01:10):
game back of the Chicago Cubs right now. If they
did not win the division, they would have to go
to Wrigley as the number two wild card to play
the Cubs in the best of three series, all of
them in Chicago. But right now they have hold on
the NL West Division crown, two games up on the
Padres after they won last night and the Padres lost.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And that's pretty good, right, We'll take that. I mean,
it's better than you know.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's just the Padres have ten with the Rockies and
White Sox in their final seventeen. The Dodgers are going
to play the Phillies and Giants for their next ten.
The Giants, who are one of the hottest teams in baseball.
They were like eight back of the final wildcard spot.
They are now two back of the final wildcard spot
(01:56):
of the Mets. They are playing really good baseball. Buster
Posey seems to have got that thing turned around in
a hurry. And again the Rockies and White Sox for
the Padres for ten ten games. The other series the
Dodgers have with the Diamondbacks and the Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
All right, Matt uh By the way, where I was
when you guys were doing the workout day where everybody
was staring at you in the bullpen and you had
Manny Machado on the in the dugout. I was calling
UNLV Syracuse, there you go, sorry, Fran Brown, good game. Uh.
Word of the day his words, the word of the day.
(02:37):
Today's word of the day is spineless. I saw this
and I couldn't believe it. I saw Sondheimer like touting
the new Loyola Marrymount athletic director and let's go lines.
I couldn't believe it because he cut all these sports.
Loyola Marymount University made some large investments in athletics during
(02:58):
the twenty twenty three twenty four school year. According to
the school paper, the La Loyolin LMU head basketball coach
Stan Johnson made one million, one hundred and one thousand
dollars thirty one percent salary increase. AD Craig Pentons made
eight hundred and nineteen one thousand dollars, a sixty two
(03:20):
percent salary increase. Jeez. Coincidentally, this raise happened during the
same year Pittance made the decision to discontinue six LMU
sports and cut over one hundred student athletes in order
to provide the best possible student athlete experience and adapt
to the ever changing NCAA landscape. That's what he said.
(03:44):
Despite the riding on the wall, which is pretty obvious,
the university has remained committed to the statement that raises
and bonuses are unrelated to athletics program's decision and changes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So basically, why did they get a six two percent raise?
What was the merit on which that was based.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
The school has received many criticisms about the decision to
cut programs, including the timing. The ad made the announcement
two weeks into the spring twenty twenty four semester, in
days after the tuition refund deadline, which basically left those
one hundred athletes stuck at the school unable to transfer
(04:24):
for a semester if they wanted to confide, they're playing
spring sports. Yeah, in their sport. This was spineless and terrible,
and it happened. We don't pay a great deal of
attention to LMU sports, but this happened right under our nose.
And I love Eric Sondeimer, but we saw him tweet
the other day about how LMU three and fifting in
(04:45):
sports and it's like, no, they're not. They just turned
their back on a bunch of their own student athletes
that competed under their banner. This is shameless. Now, when
I he that, hey, you cut these sports, you're gonna
get a raise, for sure, it reminds me of my
(05:06):
old friend Dave Wantstat, the coach of the Bears and
then the Dolphins, friend of the show.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
On the show, not a great coach right on the show.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think he was a pretty good coach, just maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Not a great Cowboys one of those Super Bowls.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I won't have him disparents, just because of your Bear fan.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
He was terrible.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
There's a lot of Bear coaches that he was terrible with.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
The Bears and the Dolphins. He was It is not
about the Bears.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
But when they gave him the Dolphins job, they said,
do you want to be the head coach? And he
said sure. They said, okay, but you gotta fire Dan Marino.
So he did it. He said, Dan, I gotta do it.
I gotta cut you. And Dan's like, I'm better than
all your quarterbacks and he said, I know it, damn it,
I know, but they are telling me that I gotta
cut you. And I remember this conversation with watch that
(05:54):
and I said, Dan, I said, uh, I said, damn, Dave,
that's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He goes telling me and I was like, well who
was I was like, well, who was your quarterback? On
your own Miami. He goes, you're kidding the feedler on
the roof.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He was the of the best stories. He was so
great with us.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Dave Want's dad. So you know, I mean, they might
have told him, cut these sports and we'll give your
ass a raise, But that doesn't mean this guy's not spineless.
What a tool. Look, cut those sports, hide in the night,
give yourself a raise, whatever, but don't try to like
revamp it and say we'll Reinfustragan sports a LMU. You
failed a bunch of your athletes that you brought there
(06:31):
to compete for the Lions. So shame. That's not cool
on Pittons in LMU. That is not the Jesuit way.
Time of the number of the day. Here's my number
number of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Number the day is thirty. Got good news on this one,
pe and it's good news because a community pushed back
on the state of California August thirtieth. I saw it.
I lived it for almost five years. Uh, and the
reel in was a staple for us working at the ChartHouse.
I was a valet across the street. The chart would
(07:06):
only give us bread and that was it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's why. That's why, because of your old relationship to Malibu,
even though you've not visited your alma mater in decade,
they don't like me and that's your stance. Yes, that's
why you're lobbying for the Swelsea wedding to be in Malibu.
And it's an underhanded move. And I saw it right away.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Have you never spoken Ned's class at Pepperdine? No, never
invited me.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I did.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I did too, I know you guys did. Never invited me.
I got a degree. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
The squad bread was fantastic, but we befriended the people
that work the reel in. We'd get food at a discount,
guys taking care of guys. We ate it all the time. Calamari, shrimp,
onion rings, casadillas, their signature reel in hot sauce, which
to this day I think is still the best hot
sauce on earth. No tentiousness despite bean sandwiched. And now
(08:03):
remember this is the early nineties, folks, mid nineties. Reel
In is sandwiched by the two chophouses Moonshadows and ChartHouse.
Charthhouse a big f and deal in nineteen ninety four
the salad mar I mean back.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Being followed by a moon Shadow back.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Then you'd get the valley trash hop in the hill
and their corvette or their Mustang GT for a night
out with the misses. And there is that haughty ChartHouse
attitude with their ocean view. Oh you want the women's
file at, sir, I would have thought you wanted the
large file at for ten dollars more. The story broke
(08:41):
on the tent on the thirtieth, I should say August thirtieth,
that the owners of the Real Inn were in the
process of renewing their lease for another ten years to
take them to twenty thirty five on this state land
when the fires burned the Real In and half a
Malibu down in all the Palisades. The Wall Street Journal
(09:01):
reported that the state told them, despite having burnished a
lease furnished a lease to them, that in fact they
would not allow them to rebuild on the site that
the California Department of Parks and Recreations said not happening.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Ive red tape here in our state, trouble getting building permits.
What do we say?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
They said, maybe get a food truck and we'll let
you park it there. You everyone that has ever been
to the real In freaked out and thanked God forced
their hand. Fu nobu, f your freaking mastros. They want
Neptune's net when you're north at County Line or Leo Carrillo,
and they want real In when you're on the south
(09:40):
side of Malibu, staples that have been around for decades.
And thank goodness, the people and the Squeaky Wheel got
what they demanded. The owners got a letter on the
fifth of September from the state committing to make it
possible quote for the real In to be rebuilt and
thrive on State Parks property. Andy and Teddy Leonard. The
(10:02):
owners told eater La that they absolutely will reopen. Oh sweep,
well done. People. Rarely does it end like this with
the happy ending, but it seems as though in this
particular case, considering the devastation and how important that spot
is in light of all the fancy folks that live there,
the reel End will be back.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That is good news, all right, running.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
The great singer, song writer and musician jose Feliciano serenades
us on his birthday with our song of the day
called Chico in the Van. This theme from the nineteen
seventies television sitcom A nice feel good tune for a
Wednesday afternoon drive where the Petros and Money Show is
directing traffic through three hours of great sports talk en
(10:55):
route to the Dodgers, who has strung a few wins.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Together and are looking for a sweep against the Colorado Rockies,
where the excitement will build with Tim Kats and your
Marongo Casino Dodgers on debt program that begins at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Beautiful help because serious cougar accident Moonshadows? Is it the
same at the real end?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
No? Really miss the drags, picnic benches, cafeteria style order
at the window, you know kind of deal Moonshadows, Yes, was,
And I believe Moonshadows burned out sadly in the in
the fire. Whether or not they'll rebuild, don't know. We
(11:39):
had a bit of a rivalry with Moonshadows because we
were buying for a lot of the same. Well yeah,
positioning on p h to Valley Park.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Those cars. Oh, I hope it didn't get ugly back
like so many other things from your youth death.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
How does it not? I'm involved.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
We'll be right back. But the top story of the
day and a new day has big gone on. You
can see the morning song. I things will be made up?
Who is and the man? Buss me will magic and
(12:22):
the man.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Auto road Trip all summer with LA Sports. Well it's
so we just won't be defeated. Wednesday on Petro said Money,
We're happy to have you here on m FI seventy
LA Sports. You're home of the world champion Dodgers. Adrian
Gonzale will join us. We're gonna talk to him on
the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline in the very
(13:03):
next hour. Tonight, we got Dodgers Colorado Dodgers on deck
at six. Dodger fans score big with flooring from Hernandez Wholesale.
Flooring shop, Hernandez Wholesale Flooring dot Net, no sale beats
Wholesale roll with Hernandez. It is now time for the
(13:25):
top story of the day, Top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, in the words of one of my favorite social
media personalities, Dan McClellan.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
All right, let's see it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yesterday, David Vasse talked about the return of Tommy Edmund
tonight and he asked.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Us who's gonna be the odd man out?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And he suggested that it would have to be either
surprisingly enough to us, to Oscar Hernandez or Michael CONFORDO.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Right, And then when I saw the whole the game
last night, I was like, I don't know, We're gonna
have to get us some new FBI guys like.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
A playoff atmosphere for the individual at the plate. Yesterday
their World Series for a spot in the lineup over
the final seventeen games thanks to the return of Tommy Edmund,
pivotal games to get you ready for the playoffs and
hopefully at least a home wild card series against the
(14:21):
third and final last to get into the postseason wild
card team. You are not catching the Phillies, unless, of course,
you sweep them next week. When they're in town, which
I suppose is possible.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Hey, vered Pa, Hey the Dodgers. You know they played
down to competition, right, I mean you're here, we go,
you know, sweet the Phillies, and anything's possible. Maybe we
will get the two seed.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But would it be Confordo or Hernandez out there in
left field tennight with Edmund and center and Paz in
right last night? You saw it clear as day, feeling
the pressure, just like he did in the home run derby,
just like he did in the postseason. Ta Oscar Hernandez
(15:00):
three for four and the one at bat that he
grounded out, he grinded out a ten pitch at bat
that forced a wild pitch on the ninth that scored
a run to give the Dodgers a one nothing lead.
Next at bat, two at home or to center four
nothing Dodgers, next at bat single, the right next at
bat home run the left field seven one Dodgers three
(15:24):
hits in four at bats that produced three runs behind
him in the batting order. Michael Conforto, all right, that's
the guy, right, that's the guy.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He's been out of than tay Oscar.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Four at bats that that hurt to hear yesterday it
really did.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I mean it was a you know, because you know
you do this job, you attach yourself to a narrative,
and then suddenly you know you cant.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Confordos four at bats, fly out to center, pop out
to left, fly out to center, ground out to first
base zero for four. None of his hits advanced a runner,
none put himself on base another oh four for confort
(16:10):
oh while Tao shined. Tao now has seven home runs,
five doubles, sixteen ribbies, and is hitting two sixteen, a
whopping two sixteen since August. First two eleven in August
and after last night, as average jumped to two thirty one.
In September, he doubled his hit total in one night.
(16:31):
His four to sixty two slugging percentage over that time
is double that of Michael Confordo, who is hitting one
seventy nine over that same span with four doubles, one
home run and five ribbies. He is a black hole
of offense and with the return of Tommy Edmund, I
(16:54):
have never been convinced of something more in my life.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I've never been so sure as that in my life.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
This is one hundred percent about being right about stubbornness
about a.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Pal like the old Chris Taylor.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Like the old Chris Taylor, this is a pal, but
I think this is and I probably shouldn't do this,
but whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Don't be like Ryan Clark and say I shouldn't do
this and then you do right there.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Far Anxiety is a friend of our show. We appreciate
him coming out all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
He was a great guy. He was very unassuming, kind
of like Edward James almost and lean on me.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, very close friend of Andrew Friedman. He goes to
the Giants as their general manager for seven years. It
did not go well. He had one winning season in
those seven years, that incredible one hundred and seven win
season that ended in disappointment because the Dodgers won one
hundred and six games and of course won that game
(17:55):
five up in San Francisco to clinch their spot into
the divisional round. They got rid of Bruce Bochie he
wins a title in Texas. They hired Gab Cape Gabe Kapler.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Gab Capler would have been a better option.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
They fire him in the twenty twenty three season. They
hire Bob Melvin, not great, and then Farhan gets fired himself.
So as pal, Andrew Friedman hires him back as a
special advisor. It's kind of like the uh, the quarterback
that's going to play for Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay.
You get your rehab assignment and then you get right
back into the free agent pool and somebody else is
(18:33):
going to hire you right away.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And Mike sarkisian hanging out with old Saban in Alabama.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
And I think Andrew took Farhan's advice and his specialty
was telling old old Fredy there, hey pay Michael Confordo
seventeen million bucks because Michael Conforto was with me for
two years.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
That's a real conspiracy, it really is.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I don't know why else you would sign Michael Conforto
for seventeen million bucks when he hit two thirty nine
and twenty three, two thirty seven and twenty twenty four,
had a war of point eight in twenty three and
one point three and twenty four. Now, remember war is
a cumulative stat, so the more games you play, the
more at bats you have you add to your war.
(19:21):
Shoheo Tani has played in one hundred and forty two games.
He has got a six point zero war. That is
a monster that is like a lock for MVP number.
Mooki bats one hundred and thirty four games, a four
point two war, Andy Paez one hundred and forty games,
three point one war. Now you can get a big
number in limited games. And I think it speaks to
how valuable Max Munsey has been because in just ninety
(19:43):
one games he's got a WAR three point three. Hey
Song Kim has just one hundred and fifty at bats
sixty four games. His WAR is one point seven better
than either full season that Confordo had in San Francisco.
That led to far Hi suggesting the Dodgers bring him
in to be their everyday left fielder for seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You're saying far Han ordered the code Radmac.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
No doubt in my mind, Confordo's war this year negative
point nine, which means wins above replacement. If Otani himself,
all by himself is valued to be responsible for six
(20:30):
wins on the Dodgers Ledger, six more wins than they
would have if he wasn't on the team, Confordo has actually,
by himself, cost the Dodgers a game that is really
really hard to do because you're not gonna get enough
at bats to get a war of negative point nine.
(20:52):
Not going to be put back out there when you
are that detrimental to a team that you independently may
cost him the team a game by yourself.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Even Chris Taylor's at batswood away at a certain point.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yes, And that's what I can't figure out. What would
have led Farhan to sell the Dodgers on this guy.
He hasn't hit over two forty in his last four seasons.
He hasn't hit more than twenty Doggers. He's got just
one season the last four of sixty plus ribis. He's
had a single ok season of slug not worth thirty
(21:27):
six million bucks over two years that the Giants invested
in him, in which they never had a winning season.
He was not one of their twelve best players in
twenty twenty three, and he was their eleventh best player
in twenty twenty four. That is a bust of a contract.
He was their second highest paid player in twenty three,
behind only Jack Peterson second highest paid. I'm gonna go
(21:51):
for that though. That's right, Jock.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
He made the most.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Confordo made the second most, and he wasn't even in
their top twelve. In twenty twenty four or he was
the second highest paid player as well, tied with Logan
Web Web and Matt Chapman. This season, he's making ten
million dollars more than Clayton Kershaw, thirteen million more than
Miguel rojas Y, sixteen point three million dollars more than
(22:15):
Andy pah haz to be far and away the worst
position player on this roster, hands down, bar none. That's
a stone cold lead pipe.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Lah lah.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Now, you could make a case, a very convincing one
and an easy one to make. The tenner Scott has
been their worst player. Oh you've got to combined twelve
losses in blown saves. I mean it's not close, right,
Twelve wins turned in two losses in the final inning
literally because of one guy, a blown save and a
(22:51):
loss from one guy. That is hard to do and
again to continue to be given the opportunity to do
over and over again. We saw it last night with
our guy, Kirby Yates p Since July first, in twelve
innings of work, Kirby Yates has given up nine to
(23:11):
nine nine times nine earned runs. In fourteen appearances, He's
given up at least a run in six of them.
That would be forty three percent of the time. That
means he's operating at a fifty seven percent success rate.
He's not even getting d's, not even D minuses. He's
literally failing at a fifty seven percent success rate. You
(23:33):
would need to drop the course before two weeks to
make sure that does not show up on your transcript.
We've all been there. Why are you still taking this class?
You can't dig out of this hole. Last night he
got his opportunity to dig out of that hole. All right,
let's see it. Promptly gave up two hits, a double
and a home run. Thank you and good night. Kirby
(23:53):
Tanner Scott has given up ten runs.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Back to Poipoo Beach right in Loah Ah.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Tanner Scott has given up ten runs in eleven innings
of pitching since July. For ten runs and eleven innings,
that is an era of eight point one eight four
blown saves and one loss over that stretch. This is
an old s This is since July third, thirteen appearances,
and those thirteen he's allowed at least a run in six.
(24:22):
That would be forty six percent of the outings. He's
allowing a run. That's a fifty four percent on the test.
And he's in the first year of a four year,
seventy two million dollars deal. Four years seventy two million
been a miss. Uh, we do it all the time. Here,
sunk cost, opportunity cost, sunk cost seventeen million. Confordo, cut
(24:47):
your losses seventy two million dollars. Tanner Scott, cut your
losses thirteen million dollars. Kirby Yates, You're not getting it back.
It is guaranteed, it is theirs. I understand you want
them to earn it instead of collect it, but them's
the breaks. Man. Opportunity cost is not playing somebody that
(25:09):
isn't Michael Conforto. That's your opportunity cost of playing Conforto,
that someone else isn't out there, that there isn't a
September call up that's blowing home runs out of Tulsa
or out of Oklahoma City or out of the Great
Lakes that could be getting at bats or just not
Michael Confordo with a bat in his hand. San Francisco
(25:32):
is in line for the sweep of the Diamondbacks tonight.
They're streaking again with the Padres and Mets losing, they're
just two games back of that third wild card spot.
Pee that's the team the Dodgers would play if these
trends continue, with the Mets failing, the Padres sliding, and
the Giants streaking. If they win the division and they
(25:53):
have got seven games against them in their next ten,
you really want Confordo in that lineup, really want to
send Tanner Scott or Kirby Yates onto the mound of
a one run game against your chief rival that very
well could be in the opposite dugout for a three
game series, best of three at Dodger Stadium on back
(26:15):
to back to back days. I gotta believe with the
return of Tommy Edmond, it has to be tonight, has
to be tonight that we see these things all change
in the bullpen, in the lineup, with pinch hitting, all
of those things to make it appear as though they
are playing playoff baseball and trying to make a run
(26:37):
at skipping the wild card and getting into that divisional round.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, if it doesn't happen, Matt, I'll know that you
blame the Svengali like influence of far Han Ziety true
over Andrew Friedman and his confirmation bias of his New
York Giants player Matthew Trump former New York Giants now
San Francisco Giants. That's pretty new. We'll be back with
(27:02):
more great sports talk on ampis Yeah, and we'll have
immediate reaction on AMPI seventy your home of the Dodgers. Oh,

doubt about that. But it is time for some more reaction.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
We make it easy. I'll give you a little bit
of a break on the Swelsea wedding for a second, Matt.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Okay, and a big story though.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Because we got after Tim. Kate's pretty good in the
open about scam and the wild card and different things
like that, and then we often yeah, and then we
also talked what you just talked about, our big show
at Marongo Casino Resort and Spa next week and all
of that stuff. So all right, first text, Tosa tell
Kate's I love his show, but a first round by
(28:49):
is much better.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I shed, you know, I told him right down. Yeah,
I mean, Kate's understandably little worried. See if you can
win that wild card, get into the divisional round, get
the extra couple you know, dimes, quarters, throw them in
your pocket.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
This says, hey, Kates, I'd like for you to eat
a donkey D.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, Kates eat it. Man not eat a D, but
a donkey D is what this thing is.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
This is what says Petro, who is going to tell
Officer Taints that he's been replaced on Scam by Manolo.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Is Manola still on the Challenge?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Isola still around? Does he still know he's not on
the Challenge?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Rob Parker's not on it?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
In Rob Parker is also off right, So.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Our friend Jonas Knox is still on there. One thing
that did kind of bother me a little bit about
the Challenge, which is a show I did after the
Sunday Night Games.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The Challenge doesn't exist without you. Well, it doesn't have
a fifteen year run.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
It's called the Challenge, and we did seventeen years. And
they were sitting there and touting yesterday or Sunday and
their twentieth anniversary, like twenty years of the Challenge, and
it's like.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You've been here for five minutes, dude, what.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
About the seventeen years that Fred and I did that?
You guys are really taking credit for that? But yeah,
not cool, No, not really not cool.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, Yeah, you don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
It's a reminder, Hey, Matt, I was all in with
you saying the Dodgers were going to go one hundred
and sixty two and oh and now I'm all in
that the Dodgers are going to run the table no losses.
Sorry timmy boy, you're going to be poor.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Wait a minute, no, Tim makes money when they win.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well if the series continues, you know, but if there's
a loss, you know, Tim Kates gets more.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh right, right right, I got you.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
This is about your ticket math, Matt. The other moment,
when we were talking about if you don't show up,
and you say up for the tickets at Marongo Casino,
the Dodger tickets, this says, Okay, I'm no mathematician, but
eighty percent at fifty is forty and fifty minus forty
equals test just saying sorry, Matt, you got Matt.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
It just seemed like ten was a lot of pairs
of tickets to give away. I don't feel like we
ever had ten. So that's why I was a little hesitating.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I don't know, I mean, he said, eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Kates, do you feel like we have ten pair of
tickets to give away to people because of folks that
didn't show up.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I mean, I don't have an exact percentage.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I just said eighty, right. I was just thinking of
the amount of tickets we would pull toward the end
of the show for the people that didn't show up,
and it always felt like it was about three or
five or something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You were wrong, Matt. This one's in regards to the
Marongo Casino resort and SPA trips over the years that
you've said, we've had about fifteen, Like.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's about right.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, they all kind of messed it.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I remember Matt threw one hundred dollars in the Frankenstein
machine and an old Asian lady sits down and hammers
a few hondo in and wins without even acknowledging the
radio setup. Matt's face was priceless.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, that's a true story.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That's what's happened.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
But it happens to us every year because we we
only have like a four minute window to hit the slot.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, and then we warm it up and then somebody
comes and knocks it out the right. Holy crap. Smith
degeneracy is at an all time high. He wants his
barely adult child to hit the casino and start gambling.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Casinokay, that's right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's eighteen.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You know, my old man had me work in the
video poker machine in the back of Jack West bar
when I was like six years old. And if you
want a credit, you won yourself a quarter. Uh So
I learned early and look where it got me.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
There's Jack West poker machine, and then there's the billions
of dollars involved in Morongo Casina and spot. You guys
have only gambled a couple hundred bucks there, Yo, what
do I look like Minnesota fats? I'm not a comfort
will gambler ly be alone? This says, Hey, Pete. Do
you think if the reporter did, in fact have footage
of himself in the bathroom blowing it out? At the
(33:08):
next presser, Sark will actually answer the question about arch.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Arch Manning seemed to be having some throwing pains by
the who.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Arch Arch said that to you?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Oh, according to who, it just looked like he was.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
He doesn't have any Is there an explanation to why
he was it looked like that.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I've never filed I've never filmed any of you guys
when you're using the bathroom. So I don't know what
faces you make.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
When you're doing that. I don't know what that has
to do with any of it.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I talk about redirecting, I mean yourself taking a dump.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
If they all show up with their faces when they're
taking a dump, maybe me answer the question, Bertha text.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Doesn't what what are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (33:47):

Broadcast Booth at seven to ten PM, Dodgers on Deck
at six two hours from now. Adrian Gonzalez is going
to join us in our five o'clock hour to help
preview that game, and of course the remainder of the
Dodgers season. Seventeen games, a two game lead on the
padres and still a record I believe they are a
(01:10):
game back of the Chicago Cubs right now. If they
did not win the division, they would have to go
to Wrigley as the number two wild card to play
the Cubs in the best of three series, all of
them in Chicago. But right now they have hold on
the NL West Division crown, two games up on the
Padres after they won last night and the Padres lost.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And that's pretty good, right, We'll take that. I mean,
it's better than you know.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's just the Padres have ten with the Rockies and
White Sox in their final seventeen. The Dodgers are going
to play the Phillies and Giants for their next ten.
The Giants, who are one of the hottest teams in baseball.
They were like eight back of the final wildcard spot.
They are now two back of the final wildcard spot
(01:56):
of the Mets. They are playing really good baseball. Buster
Posey seems to have got that thing turned around in
a hurry. And again the Rockies and White Sox for
the Padres for ten ten games. The other series the
Dodgers have with the Diamondbacks and the Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
All right, Matt uh By the way, where I was
when you guys were doing the workout day where everybody
was staring at you in the bullpen and you had
Manny Machado on the in the dugout. I was calling
UNLV Syracuse, there you go, sorry, Fran Brown, good game. Uh.
Word of the day his words, the word of the day.
(02:37):
Today's word of the day is spineless. I saw this
and I couldn't believe it. I saw Sondheimer like touting
the new Loyola Marrymount athletic director and let's go lines.
I couldn't believe it because he cut all these sports.
Loyola Marymount University made some large investments in athletics during
(02:58):
the twenty twenty three twenty four school year. According to
the school paper, the La Loyolin LMU head basketball coach
Stan Johnson made one million, one hundred and one thousand
dollars thirty one percent salary increase. AD Craig Pentons made
eight hundred and nineteen one thousand dollars, a sixty two
(03:20):
percent salary increase. Jeez. Coincidentally, this raise happened during the
same year Pittance made the decision to discontinue six LMU
sports and cut over one hundred student athletes in order
to provide the best possible student athlete experience and adapt
to the ever changing NCAA landscape. That's what he said.
(03:44):
Despite the riding on the wall, which is pretty obvious,
the university has remained committed to the statement that raises
and bonuses are unrelated to athletics program's decision and changes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So basically, why did they get a six two percent raise?
What was the merit on which that was based.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
The school has received many criticisms about the decision to
cut programs, including the timing. The ad made the announcement
two weeks into the spring twenty twenty four semester, in
days after the tuition refund deadline, which basically left those
one hundred athletes stuck at the school unable to transfer
(04:24):
for a semester if they wanted to confide, they're playing
spring sports. Yeah, in their sport. This was spineless and terrible,
and it happened. We don't pay a great deal of
attention to LMU sports, but this happened right under our nose.
And I love Eric Sondeimer, but we saw him tweet
the other day about how LMU three and fifting in
(04:45):
sports and it's like, no, they're not. They just turned
their back on a bunch of their own student athletes
that competed under their banner. This is shameless. Now, when
I he that, hey, you cut these sports, you're gonna
get a raise, for sure, it reminds me of my
(05:06):
old friend Dave Wantstat, the coach of the Bears and
then the Dolphins, friend of the show.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
On the show, not a great coach right on the show.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think he was a pretty good coach, just maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Not a great Cowboys one of those Super Bowls.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I won't have him disparents, just because of your Bear fan.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
He was terrible.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
There's a lot of Bear coaches that he was terrible with.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
The Bears and the Dolphins. He was It is not
about the Bears.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
But when they gave him the Dolphins job, they said,
do you want to be the head coach? And he
said sure. They said, okay, but you gotta fire Dan Marino.
So he did it. He said, Dan, I gotta do it.
I gotta cut you. And Dan's like, I'm better than
all your quarterbacks and he said, I know it, damn it,
I know, but they are telling me that I gotta
cut you. And I remember this conversation with watch that
(05:54):
and I said, Dan, I said, uh, I said, damn, Dave,
that's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He goes telling me and I was like, well who
was I was like, well, who was your quarterback? On
your own Miami. He goes, you're kidding the feedler on
the roof.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He was the of the best stories. He was so
great with us.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Dave Want's dad. So you know, I mean, they might
have told him, cut these sports and we'll give your
ass a raise, But that doesn't mean this guy's not spineless.
What a tool. Look, cut those sports, hide in the night,
give yourself a raise, whatever, but don't try to like
revamp it and say we'll Reinfustragan sports a LMU. You
failed a bunch of your athletes that you brought there
(06:31):
to compete for the Lions. So shame. That's not cool
on Pittons in LMU. That is not the Jesuit way.
Time of the number of the day. Here's my number
number of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Number the day is thirty. Got good news on this one,
pe and it's good news because a community pushed back
on the state of California August thirtieth. I saw it.
I lived it for almost five years. Uh, and the
reel in was a staple for us working at the ChartHouse.
I was a valet across the street. The chart would
(07:06):
only give us bread and that was it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's why. That's why, because of your old relationship to Malibu,
even though you've not visited your alma mater in decade,
they don't like me and that's your stance. Yes, that's
why you're lobbying for the Swelsea wedding to be in Malibu.
And it's an underhanded move. And I saw it right away.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Have you never spoken Ned's class at Pepperdine? No, never
invited me.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I did.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I did too, I know you guys did. Never invited me.
I got a degree. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
The squad bread was fantastic, but we befriended the people
that work the reel in. We'd get food at a discount,
guys taking care of guys. We ate it all the time. Calamari, shrimp,
onion rings, casadillas, their signature reel in hot sauce, which
to this day I think is still the best hot
sauce on earth. No tentiousness despite bean sandwiched. And now
(08:03):
remember this is the early nineties, folks, mid nineties. Reel
In is sandwiched by the two chophouses Moonshadows and ChartHouse.
Charthhouse a big f and deal in nineteen ninety four
the salad mar I mean back.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Being followed by a moon Shadow back.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Then you'd get the valley trash hop in the hill
and their corvette or their Mustang GT for a night
out with the misses. And there is that haughty ChartHouse
attitude with their ocean view. Oh you want the women's
file at, sir, I would have thought you wanted the
large file at for ten dollars more. The story broke
(08:41):
on the tent on the thirtieth, I should say August thirtieth,
that the owners of the Real Inn were in the
process of renewing their lease for another ten years to
take them to twenty thirty five on this state land
when the fires burned the Real In and half a
Malibu down in all the Palisades. The Wall Street Journal
(09:01):
reported that the state told them, despite having burnished a
lease furnished a lease to them, that in fact they
would not allow them to rebuild on the site that
the California Department of Parks and Recreations said not happening.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Ive red tape here in our state, trouble getting building permits.
What do we say?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
They said, maybe get a food truck and we'll let
you park it there. You everyone that has ever been
to the real In freaked out and thanked God forced
their hand. Fu nobu, f your freaking mastros. They want
Neptune's net when you're north at County Line or Leo Carrillo,
and they want real In when you're on the south
(09:40):
side of Malibu, staples that have been around for decades.
And thank goodness, the people and the Squeaky Wheel got
what they demanded. The owners got a letter on the
fifth of September from the state committing to make it
possible quote for the real In to be rebuilt and
thrive on State Parks property. Andy and Teddy Leonard. The
(10:02):
owners told eater La that they absolutely will reopen. Oh sweep,
well done. People. Rarely does it end like this with
the happy ending, but it seems as though in this
particular case, considering the devastation and how important that spot
is in light of all the fancy folks that live there,
the reel End will be back.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That is good news, all right, running.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
The great singer, song writer and musician jose Feliciano serenades
us on his birthday with our song of the day
called Chico in the Van. This theme from the nineteen
seventies television sitcom A nice feel good tune for a
Wednesday afternoon drive where the Petros and Money Show is
directing traffic through three hours of great sports talk en
(10:55):
route to the Dodgers, who has strung a few wins.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Together and are looking for a sweep against the Colorado Rockies,
where the excitement will build with Tim Kats and your
Marongo Casino Dodgers on debt program that begins at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Beautiful help because serious cougar accident Moonshadows? Is it the
same at the real end?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
No? Really miss the drags, picnic benches, cafeteria style order
at the window, you know kind of deal Moonshadows, Yes, was,
And I believe Moonshadows burned out sadly in the in
the fire. Whether or not they'll rebuild, don't know. We
(11:39):
had a bit of a rivalry with Moonshadows because we
were buying for a lot of the same. Well yeah,
positioning on p h to Valley Park.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Those cars. Oh, I hope it didn't get ugly back
like so many other things from your youth death.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
How does it not? I'm involved.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
We'll be right back. But the top story of the
day and a new day has big gone on. You
can see the morning song. I things will be made up?
Who is and the man? Buss me will magic and
(12:22):
the man.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with

We're happy to have you here on m FI seventy
LA Sports. You're home of the world champion Dodgers. Adrian
Gonzale will join us. We're gonna talk to him on
the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline in the very
(13:03):
next hour. Tonight, we got Dodgers Colorado Dodgers on deck
at six. Dodger fans score big with flooring from Hernandez Wholesale.
Flooring shop, Hernandez Wholesale Flooring dot Net, no sale beats
Wholesale roll with Hernandez. It is now time for the
(13:25):
top story of the day, Top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, in the words of one of my favorite social
media personalities, Dan McClellan.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
All right, let's see it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yesterday, David Vasse talked about the return of Tommy Edmund
tonight and he asked.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Us who's gonna be the odd man out?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And he suggested that it would have to be either
surprisingly enough to us, to Oscar Hernandez or Michael CONFORDO.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Right, And then when I saw the whole the game
last night, I was like, I don't know, We're gonna
have to get us some new FBI guys like.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
A playoff atmosphere for the individual at the plate. Yesterday
their World Series for a spot in the lineup over
the final seventeen games thanks to the return of Tommy Edmund,
pivotal games to get you ready for the playoffs and
hopefully at least a home wild card series against the
(14:21):
third and final last to get into the postseason wild
card team. You are not catching the Phillies, unless, of course,
you sweep them next week. When they're in town, which
I suppose is possible.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Hey, vered Pa, Hey the Dodgers. You know they played
down to competition, right, I mean you're here, we go,
you know, sweet the Phillies, and anything's possible. Maybe we
will get the two seed.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But would it be Confordo or Hernandez out there in
left field tennight with Edmund and center and Paz in
right last night? You saw it clear as day, feeling
the pressure, just like he did in the home run derby,
just like he did in the postseason. Ta Oscar Hernandez
(15:00):
three for four and the one at bat that he
grounded out, he grinded out a ten pitch at bat
that forced a wild pitch on the ninth that scored
a run to give the Dodgers a one nothing lead.
Next at bat, two at home or to center four
nothing Dodgers, next at bat single, the right next at
bat home run the left field seven one Dodgers three
(15:24):
hits in four at bats that produced three runs behind
him in the batting order. Michael Conforto, all right, that's
the guy, right, that's the guy.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He's been out of than tay Oscar.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Four at bats that that hurt to hear yesterday it
really did.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I mean it was a you know, because you know
you do this job, you attach yourself to a narrative,
and then suddenly you know you cant.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Confordos four at bats, fly out to center, pop out
to left, fly out to center, ground out to first
base zero for four. None of his hits advanced a runner,
none put himself on base another oh four for confort
(16:10):
oh while Tao shined. Tao now has seven home runs,
five doubles, sixteen ribbies, and is hitting two sixteen, a
whopping two sixteen since August. First two eleven in August
and after last night, as average jumped to two thirty one.
In September, he doubled his hit total in one night.
(16:31):
His four to sixty two slugging percentage over that time
is double that of Michael Confordo, who is hitting one
seventy nine over that same span with four doubles, one
home run and five ribbies. He is a black hole
of offense and with the return of Tommy Edmund, I
(16:54):
have never been convinced of something more in my life.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I've never been so sure as that in my life.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
This is one hundred percent about being right about stubbornness
about a.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Pal like the old Chris Taylor.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Like the old Chris Taylor, this is a pal, but
I think this is and I probably shouldn't do this,
but whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Don't be like Ryan Clark and say I shouldn't do
this and then you do right there.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Far Anxiety is a friend of our show. We appreciate
him coming out all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
He was a great guy. He was very unassuming, kind
of like Edward James almost and lean on me.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, very close friend of Andrew Friedman. He goes to
the Giants as their general manager for seven years. It
did not go well. He had one winning season in
those seven years, that incredible one hundred and seven win
season that ended in disappointment because the Dodgers won one
hundred and six games and of course won that game
(17:55):
five up in San Francisco to clinch their spot into
the divisional round. They got rid of Bruce Bochie he
wins a title in Texas. They hired Gab Cape Gabe Kapler.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Gab Capler would have been a better option.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
They fire him in the twenty twenty three season. They
hire Bob Melvin, not great, and then Farhan gets fired himself.
So as pal, Andrew Friedman hires him back as a
special advisor. It's kind of like the uh, the quarterback
that's going to play for Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay.
You get your rehab assignment and then you get right
back into the free agent pool and somebody else is
(18:33):
going to hire you right away.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And Mike sarkisian hanging out with old Saban in Alabama.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
And I think Andrew took Farhan's advice and his specialty
was telling old old Fredy there, hey pay Michael Confordo
seventeen million bucks because Michael Conforto was with me for
two years.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
That's a real conspiracy, it really is.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I don't know why else you would sign Michael Conforto
for seventeen million bucks when he hit two thirty nine
and twenty three, two thirty seven and twenty twenty four,
had a war of point eight in twenty three and
one point three and twenty four. Now, remember war is
a cumulative stat, so the more games you play, the
more at bats you have you add to your war.
(19:21):
Shoheo Tani has played in one hundred and forty two games.
He has got a six point zero war. That is
a monster that is like a lock for MVP number.
Mooki bats one hundred and thirty four games, a four
point two war, Andy Paez one hundred and forty games,
three point one war. Now you can get a big
number in limited games. And I think it speaks to
how valuable Max Munsey has been because in just ninety
(19:43):
one games he's got a WAR three point three. Hey
Song Kim has just one hundred and fifty at bats
sixty four games. His WAR is one point seven better
than either full season that Confordo had in San Francisco.
That led to far Hi suggesting the Dodgers bring him
in to be their everyday left fielder for seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You're saying far Han ordered the code Radmac.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
No doubt in my mind, Confordo's war this year negative
point nine, which means wins above replacement. If Otani himself,
all by himself is valued to be responsible for six
(20:30):
wins on the Dodgers Ledger, six more wins than they
would have if he wasn't on the team, Confordo has actually,
by himself, cost the Dodgers a game that is really
really hard to do because you're not gonna get enough
at bats to get a war of negative point nine.
(20:52):
Not going to be put back out there when you
are that detrimental to a team that you independently may
cost him the team a game by yourself.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Even Chris Taylor's at batswood away at a certain point.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yes, And that's what I can't figure out. What would
have led Farhan to sell the Dodgers on this guy.
He hasn't hit over two forty in his last four seasons.
He hasn't hit more than twenty Doggers. He's got just
one season the last four of sixty plus ribis. He's
had a single ok season of slug not worth thirty
(21:27):
six million bucks over two years that the Giants invested
in him, in which they never had a winning season.
He was not one of their twelve best players in
twenty twenty three, and he was their eleventh best player
in twenty twenty four. That is a bust of a contract.
He was their second highest paid player in twenty three,
behind only Jack Peterson second highest paid. I'm gonna go
(21:51):
for that though. That's right, Jock.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
He made the most.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Confordo made the second most, and he wasn't even in
their top twelve. In twenty twenty four or he was
the second highest paid player as well, tied with Logan
Web Web and Matt Chapman. This season, he's making ten
million dollars more than Clayton Kershaw, thirteen million more than
Miguel rojas Y, sixteen point three million dollars more than
(22:15):
Andy pah haz to be far and away the worst
position player on this roster, hands down, bar none. That's
a stone cold lead pipe.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Lah lah.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Now, you could make a case, a very convincing one
and an easy one to make. The tenner Scott has
been their worst player. Oh you've got to combined twelve
losses in blown saves. I mean it's not close, right,
Twelve wins turned in two losses in the final inning
literally because of one guy, a blown save and a
(22:51):
loss from one guy. That is hard to do and
again to continue to be given the opportunity to do
over and over again. We saw it last night with
our guy, Kirby Yates p Since July first, in twelve
innings of work, Kirby Yates has given up nine to
(23:11):
nine nine times nine earned runs. In fourteen appearances, He's
given up at least a run in six of them.
That would be forty three percent of the time. That
means he's operating at a fifty seven percent success rate.
He's not even getting d's, not even D minuses. He's
literally failing at a fifty seven percent success rate. You
(23:33):
would need to drop the course before two weeks to
make sure that does not show up on your transcript.
We've all been there. Why are you still taking this class?
You can't dig out of this hole. Last night he
got his opportunity to dig out of that hole. All right,
let's see it. Promptly gave up two hits, a double
and a home run. Thank you and good night. Kirby
(23:53):
Tanner Scott has given up ten runs.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Back to Poipoo Beach right in Loah Ah.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Tanner Scott has given up ten runs in eleven innings
of pitching since July. For ten runs and eleven innings,
that is an era of eight point one eight four
blown saves and one loss over that stretch. This is
an old s This is since July third, thirteen appearances,
and those thirteen he's allowed at least a run in six.
(24:22):
That would be forty six percent of the outings. He's
allowing a run. That's a fifty four percent on the test.
And he's in the first year of a four year,
seventy two million dollars deal. Four years seventy two million
been a miss. Uh, we do it all the time. Here,
sunk cost, opportunity cost, sunk cost seventeen million. Confordo, cut
(24:47):
your losses seventy two million dollars. Tanner Scott, cut your
losses thirteen million dollars. Kirby Yates, You're not getting it back.
It is guaranteed, it is theirs. I understand you want
them to earn it instead of collect it, but them's
the breaks. Man. Opportunity cost is not playing somebody that
(25:09):
isn't Michael Conforto. That's your opportunity cost of playing Conforto,
that someone else isn't out there, that there isn't a
September call up that's blowing home runs out of Tulsa
or out of Oklahoma City or out of the Great
Lakes that could be getting at bats or just not
Michael Confordo with a bat in his hand. San Francisco
(25:32):
is in line for the sweep of the Diamondbacks tonight.
They're streaking again with the Padres and Mets losing, they're
just two games back of that third wild card spot.
Pee that's the team the Dodgers would play if these
trends continue, with the Mets failing, the Padres sliding, and
the Giants streaking. If they win the division and they
(25:53):
have got seven games against them in their next ten,
you really want Confordo in that lineup, really want to
send Tanner Scott or Kirby Yates onto the mound of
a one run game against your chief rival that very
well could be in the opposite dugout for a three
game series, best of three at Dodger Stadium on back
(26:15):
to back to back days. I gotta believe with the
return of Tommy Edmond, it has to be tonight, has
to be tonight that we see these things all change
in the bullpen, in the lineup, with pinch hitting, all
of those things to make it appear as though they
are playing playoff baseball and trying to make a run
(26:37):
at skipping the wild card and getting into that divisional round.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, if it doesn't happen, Matt, I'll know that you
blame the Svengali like influence of far Han Ziety true
over Andrew Friedman and his confirmation bias of his New
York Giants player Matthew Trump former New York Giants now
San Francisco Giants. That's pretty new. We'll be back with
(27:02):
more great sports talk on ampis Yeah, and we'll have
immediate reaction on AMPI seventy your home of the Dodgers. Oh,

Speaker 3 (28:05):
You know, Matt, it's it's time for a little bit more.
I mean, I'm looking forward to that show, there's no
doubt about that. But it is time for some more reaction.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
We make it easy. I'll give you a little bit
of a break on the Swelsea wedding for a second, Matt.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Okay, and a big story though.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Because we got after Tim. Kate's pretty good in the
open about scam and the wild card and different things
like that, and then we often yeah, and then we
also talked what you just talked about, our big show
at Marongo Casino Resort and Spa next week and all
of that stuff. So all right, first text, Tosa tell
Kate's I love his show, but a first round by
(28:49):
is much better.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I shed, you know, I told him right down. Yeah,
I mean, Kate's understandably little worried. See if you can
win that wild card, get into the divisional round, get
the extra couple you know, dimes, quarters, throw them in
your pocket.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
This says, hey, Kates, I'd like for you to eat
a donkey D.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, Kates eat it. Man not eat a D, but
a donkey D is what this thing is.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
This is what says Petro, who is going to tell
Officer Taints that he's been replaced on Scam by Manolo.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Is Manola still on the Challenge?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Isola still around? Does he still know he's not on
the Challenge?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Rob Parker's not on it?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
In Rob Parker is also off right, So.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Our friend Jonas Knox is still on there. One thing
that did kind of bother me a little bit about
the Challenge, which is a show I did after the
Sunday Night Games.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The Challenge doesn't exist without you. Well, it doesn't have
a fifteen year run.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
It's called the Challenge, and we did seventeen years. And
they were sitting there and touting yesterday or Sunday and
their twentieth anniversary, like twenty years of the Challenge, and
it's like.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You've been here for five minutes, dude, what.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
About the seventeen years that Fred and I did that?
You guys are really taking credit for that? But yeah,
not cool, No, not really not cool.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, Yeah, you don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
It's a reminder, Hey, Matt, I was all in with
you saying the Dodgers were going to go one hundred
and sixty two and oh and now I'm all in
that the Dodgers are going to run the table no losses.
Sorry timmy boy, you're going to be poor.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Wait a minute, no, Tim makes money when they win.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well if the series continues, you know, but if there's
a loss, you know, Tim Kates gets more.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh right, right right, I got you.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
This is about your ticket math, Matt. The other moment,
when we were talking about if you don't show up,
and you say up for the tickets at Marongo Casino,
the Dodger tickets, this says, Okay, I'm no mathematician, but
eighty percent at fifty is forty and fifty minus forty
equals test just saying sorry, Matt, you got Matt.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
It just seemed like ten was a lot of pairs
of tickets to give away. I don't feel like we
ever had ten. So that's why I was a little hesitating.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I don't know, I mean, he said, eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Kates, do you feel like we have ten pair of
tickets to give away to people because of folks that
didn't show up.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I mean, I don't have an exact percentage.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I just said eighty, right. I was just thinking of
the amount of tickets we would pull toward the end
of the show for the people that didn't show up,
and it always felt like it was about three or
five or something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You were wrong, Matt. This one's in regards to the
Marongo Casino resort and SPA trips over the years that
you've said, we've had about fifteen, Like.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's about right.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, they all kind of messed it.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I remember Matt threw one hundred dollars in the Frankenstein
machine and an old Asian lady sits down and hammers
a few hondo in and wins without even acknowledging the
radio setup. Matt's face was priceless.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, that's a true story.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That's what's happened.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
But it happens to us every year because we we
only have like a four minute window to hit the slot.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, and then we warm it up and then somebody
comes and knocks it out the right. Holy crap. Smith
degeneracy is at an all time high. He wants his
barely adult child to hit the casino and start gambling.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Casinokay, that's right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's eighteen.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You know, my old man had me work in the
video poker machine in the back of Jack West bar
when I was like six years old. And if you
want a credit, you won yourself a quarter. Uh So
I learned early and look where it got me.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
There's Jack West poker machine, and then there's the billions
of dollars involved in Morongo Casina and spot. You guys
have only gambled a couple hundred bucks there, Yo, what
do I look like Minnesota fats? I'm not a comfort
will gambler ly be alone? This says, Hey, Pete. Do
you think if the reporter did, in fact have footage
of himself in the bathroom blowing it out? At the
(33:08):
next presser, Sark will actually answer the question about arch.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Arch Manning seemed to be having some throwing pains by
the who.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Arch Arch said that to you?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Oh, according to who, it just looked like he was.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
He doesn't have any Is there an explanation to why
he was it looked like that.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I've never filed I've never filmed any of you guys
when you're using the bathroom. So I don't know what
faces you make.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
When you're doing that. I don't know what that has
to do with any of it.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I talk about redirecting, I mean yourself taking a dump.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
If they all show up with their faces when they're
taking a dump, maybe me answer the question, Bertha text.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Doesn't what what are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
There's some reaction from the listeners. We got another whole
hour of content, fun fact quick hits, Adrian Gonzalez dead,
