We'll be out at Dodger Stadium for the nl CS.

(01:07):
Do we hey, Kate's do we have to stand in
line to get credentials again? For that one or are
we good From the NLDS credential standpoint, I believe you
do have to stand in line to get credentials.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Wonderful, And you know, it's not like the Japanese media
lines up when glass Now pitches, but it will be
a whole bunch of Santa Clarita New Hall types lining us.
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, it's a long question.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Normally exciting whites.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
See, and I asked the exciting whites. I asked because
typically we get an email from Major League Baseball because
they control the uh the passes, and yet we have
not received anything from Major League Baseball saying that we
were cleared for this Championship series. I thought the email
got sent out like a week ago. But let me uh, okay,

(01:58):
my mistake. Sorry for the schedule logistical talk. That's my mistake.
I just need to double check that mat because that's
a great call. Oh, you're correct, League Championship and World Series.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Okay, so you know what.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'm not seeing an email to me though, so maybe
I didn't get credential. I got Matt Smith, Petros Papadegas,
Tim Kates, Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan, Kevin Figures, Internet Matt
as he's called by fred Bert Winer. So it'll be Bert,
not Craig, with Us and the big Big Boss, Paul
Corvino the APO.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh wow, So what's the schedule.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
The schedule is US twelve to two. I don't know
about Rogan and Rodney, and it'll be a I assume
two to four show on Friday for a five o'clock
first pitch. Correct Kates, You're almost correct, guys. Rogan and
Rodney are on right after Scam tomorrow morning nine am
to noon Scam six am to nine am. Rogan and

(02:58):
Rodney in studio, well at least through the studio from
nine am to noon through the studio.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
That's good because I have a conference call with New
Mexico in the suite.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Oh good, that's great to hear. And then noon to
two Petrol some money show.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, you know, I don't. I can't be talking to
Coach Ack, the guy who beat UCLA with Rogan and
Rodney yammering in the background.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Now, ka, that would be unprofessional. You're absolutely sure that
Rogan and Rodney won't be at Doctor Stadium.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
For their show.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I am positive they will not catch Yeah, and then
on Friday Actually it's a weird start time. It's a
five thirty eight first five thirty eight, so that means
Petrol some Money show will be on Friday from two
to four thirty.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Look at that.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That's a horse of a different color. That's something we
could work with over here with a conference call schedule.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Now I see him on the credential list here that
they were approved. Will Fred and Rodney be out for
their twelve to twoday. I don't think they are, guys,
because I know that Rodney's going to South Bend for
the weekend. Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Okay, I'll stay tuned. We'll have a Notre Dame USC
dissertation a little bit later in the show. In the
second hour. We also have Ricky New too much Tequila
for you? Ricky New rick new Heisel of CBS Sports,
one of the great guys, UCLA superstar quarterback coach and
friend of the show. Jerry of course making big waves

(04:23):
as the offensive coordinator at UCLA, had a big game
coming up this weekend, So very excited about that, right,
no doubt. Do you wish you were doing brewing pre
half and post kates right now? No? No, I am
come on twiddling your thumbs on the weekend. You got
nothing to do.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Actually, I do the college football game of the week
for Compass Media Network. So last week Texas A and
M Florida. This week I'll be in studio for Ohio
State Wisconsin. So yeah, I'm not sweating at either, guys.
I guess not team in the freaking country. Yeah, wisconsint
playing some pretty good m two week to week league. Right,

(05:04):
it is James Franklin.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Seventeen days ago, James Franklin was the man, and now
he's fired. Of course he's got fifty million dollars to
wipe his tears away. But very very true statement.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
But did you see how they treated him and his
family though there? And how did they treat him?

Speaker 3 (05:22):
It just wasn't good, man. Oh really, he didn't treat
him very well. What do you mean didn't treat him
very well? What do they do?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yelling at him? The fans just yelling at you?

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, I mean, what do you want?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Man?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Not cool? People are insane? Do you think it a little?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
While he was, uh what ten minutes away from an
appearance in the National Championship last year, right, that's that's
kind of the odd part. It's like, yeah, yeah, well, I.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Mean look, and I tried to very gently answer the
question because you know, LeVar Arrington, you know, it's like
talking about bad about Notre Dame when you're on with
Brady Quinn. You know, they those guys like you could
say whatever you want to about USC when I'm sitting
around and I don't care really, but these guys who

(06:05):
are like ex superstars at their school, you know, they
have a different experience and uh, you know, I mean
think about Matt Liner, like what us he coach, wouldn't
Matt Liner defend over the years. You know, he's a
house man. They treat him great, and it's the same
you know with LeVar and Brady, and that's a great thing.

(06:26):
But I tried to very gently say, yeah, this guy
must have pissed some people off, like he must inside
of that play. Yeah, some donor. I mean, yes, he
wasn't winning big games. But could you ever imagine Oklahoma
firing Bob Stoops for not winning big games? No?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
No, especially after they go to the freaking playoff final
four last year?

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Right, and he's Bob Stoops was beloved every single year,
but they got after him for not winning big games,
but they were the ad at Oklahoma and the president.
We're never going to get rid of Bob Stoops before
he was ready to step down, I don't think. And
so I couldn't say today like this guy must have

(07:10):
pissed some people off. He's certainly rubbed me the wrong
way a couple of times. You know. I didn't want
to say that to LeVar because I think LaVar has
a very close relationship with James Franklin. But I think
he must have pissed some people off, in particular maybe Adidas,
because those are the people apparently that came forward Adidas

(07:31):
and put up the fifty million or most of it
to get rid of him and the apparel apparently, yeah,
was behind getting rid of it. And if you yeah,
and if you think you know that this guy Kurt
Signetty doing what he's doing in Indiana, which is unheard of,

(07:52):
like it's bigger than what I mean, what do we
all remember? We remember Northwestern and our friend Gary Barney
and Steve Schner and Pat Fitzgerald and Darnell Autry. Fitzgerald
might get that Penn State job after he's been a jar. Yeah,
that everybody's talked about. But yes, but there's also been

(08:15):
some Fitzgerald anyway, Fitzgerald's got some smoke. But yes, it's
Matt Rule's job to lose. That's what some people.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Believe, unless, of course Signetti takes the check. Yeah, but
he doesn't want the UCLA job.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
If somebody can take over Indiana and turn yeah, of
course UCLA. Who doesn't want to deal with that bureaucras
it's beautiful out here. But if Signetti can turn Indiana
football in one year into a team that can go
to Eugene and dominate and be consistently great, then anybody

(08:49):
can turn anything. And that's going to get a lot
of people fired too, not to mention the ballast apparently
to the hot air balloon that was UCLA football. That
was Deshaun Foster, Sinceri and the decordinator, I forget his
name who They were all fired by Tim Skipper. So

(09:10):
things can change very quickly now in college football. And
let's be honest, if somebody last year, like Rick Caruso
did with Clay Helton, would have stepped up and paid
the massive buyout for Lincoln Riley, USC would have a
different coach. And it makes sense that Levar's son is

(09:33):
a Penn State freshman that he wears number eleven like Dad,
that he would be close with James Franklin. I don't know.
Maybe LaVar will also be close with Matt Ruhle, who
has been not dominant at Nebraska, but certainly a Penn
State guy through and through. So we'll see what happens.

(09:55):
But we'll have a little college football dissertation with the
USC Notre Dame stuff big. We will talk to Rick
Neuheisel in the four o'clock hour. David Massey is going
to join us from a Dodger workout in the five
o'clock hour. And speaking of the Dodgers, do you think
Paul Corvino, our boss's boss is on that list, Matt,

(10:16):
because he's gonna do one of those CEO interviews with
Shoe hal Tani.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Oh that would be great CEOs. You ought to know,
right if you got show hal Tani to talk about
the show.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I heard yours with the Strauss guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
with the hell that's on the helmets, I mean that
was you know, that was Concordia University Masters and coaching
podcast level stuff. Thank you, And yeah, it's a great compliment,
I think, And I wonder if that's what's gonna happen tomorrow.
As we do figure out schedule talk on what is

(10:50):
a very important day now, I will say.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm just thinking about tomorrow on that line and squeezing
it tight. I gotta I gotta be at the bolt tomorrow. Yeah,
and then you got the NLCS. It's that tomorrow sday
was coming out. What's the media we got to worry
about tomorrow? Not the Japanese.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Valley, Well, the Acorn is more AH five, but yeah,
the the new Hall Press, the the Valencia Picayun.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's the valley signal out there, and say.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
The Valley signal is another big one. So you know,
all those people lined up for for glass now we're
gonna have to wait. But but I agree with you, Matt,
as we continue to schedule talk and get back to selfishly,
what's really important. Uh Tomorrow's early start time helps no one, it.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Helps I Just my whole thing is I get it.
You don't want to look like you're playcating the Dodgers.
You have a game in Seattle, But doesn't it help
the Blue Jays who are in uh an hour you know,
an hour further in the Eastern time zone versus the
central from Milwaukee. If you give them the early your window,

(12:00):
so it's six o'clock first pitch, Toronto.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Somebody told me. I asked, you know, one of the
TV people I work with today, and they said that
it's because the primetime window flips back and forth betwen
the Fox box TBS. I gotch.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
But that, you know, But maybe if we call them, uh,
maybe if we call them, they'll change, you know, and
tell them about you.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Being a guys trust some money show here? Can you
tell them a bind here my UNLV conference call it.
They won't move for me. Uh, I blame the SID Uh.
Maybe maybe you know, twenty four hours out as we
are right now, we can get that thing moved. By
the way, Rule and LeVar were linebackers together for a

(12:47):
year at Penn State.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Are basically built exactly the same. So yeah, exactly so,
so I think LeVar Junior is going to be okay.
So I think it's this is all okay for LaVar.
If anybody was worried about what was going to happen there,
I am more worried about our schedule and getting things changed.
Although I believe Kates is a little too late to

(13:10):
get it changed. Its probably because Corvino and Otani's interview.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Right, Yeah, I think they got a big pregame set
down so they can't move the start time of the game.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Unfortunately. Now this morning, we'll make it work. Then we
have to. We're gonna make our job. I'll try to
pick up your I'll get back in the line and
make myself more surf like and and get my hair
like the pickwad man. Here's my idea, the get the
big wave Dave stylishly long hair that you have going

(13:39):
right now, Matt, And I'll try to pick up your
I appreciate that. Yeah, I'll try to pick up your credential.
But uh, I was very excited listening last night to
Tim Kates do Marango Casino, Dodgers on Deck and then
the epic version of the Dodger Clubhouse Show and then

(14:01):
Dodger Talk. And Tim Kates was moving right along doing
his thing, and Oral Herscheizer called in because everybody was
talking about you know, a guy hasn't pitched a complete game, right,
Oral had like seven complete games in the playoffs or
something stupid two in the World Series. Yeah, and everybody

(14:21):
freaks out all the time thinking about it and now
because it's so different than what we deal with. So
Oral Hirscheizer called in and talked to Tim Kates last night.
I believe was it in the clubhouse part?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, it was in the network clubhouse portion. He was
driving around listening and we were rattling it off all
the different numbers. Oral Hersheizer three complete games in the
nineteen eighty eight postseason, the Jose Lima in two thousand
and four, it was him and Tim Belcher. Oral that
is back in nineteen eighty eight and the NLCS back
to back pitchers who went eight plus Indians. That was
the last time before Snell and Yamamoto did it the

(14:56):
previous two nights. So a lot of Oral Hersheiser references
because he is a Dodger great. So Oral called in
beautiful Well what did he say here?

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Is well, Tim, I heard you on the radio, I
heard you mention my name. I appreciate the reference, But
you know what I've watched with Blake Snell and Yamamoto
and the team, and now being up two to Ozho
on the road, we're looking at World Series bound and
it's so exciting.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
I was out to.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Dinner with my wife, and we've been watching the TV,
sitting in a bar area where it was definitely on,
and listening to the broadcast. And what an exciting night
for the Dodgers, for Dave Roberts and for the Dodger fans.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Oral what can you say about Yamamoto the way he
It was a great conversation for like seven and a
half minutes.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I mean it went on and on, and or
was very very gracious, of course, and did a great job.
And Steve Sachs is in town, Tim Kates and Sacks
had a light dinner last night on Olive.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
And Morton Steakhouse. You can say it, I'm out a shame.
We're at Morton's.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Well, okay, I mean I don't want to We're at Morton's.
They had a light dinner at the Mortons where Matt
and I used to spend our money for no good
reason and and.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We got some freebies though and fellowship. We spent a
lot of money, but there were some freebies that came
with that money spent on post show booze as well.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Absolutely, I can't remember our girl's name, but you know,
she'd flip us those sliders.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Sonya, sonya, No, I'm just making it.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Uh they got Smashburg sliders now chure. You know we
got to Tom to.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Go down there. Uh, start wasting more money. But Sax
is in town because he's thrown out the first pitch
tomorrow with Mike Soosha and which is awesome. So he's
gonna be in town a couple of days doing scam
and the Dodgers are up to nothing and everybody feels
like our troubles are over dude, And and Mike Sosha
came on this morning on scam am. I correct to.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Say that you are correct in saying that we appreciate
my social for us man social was great. I asked
him if he wants to manage again, and doesn't sound
like he really wants to. I asked him about k
Rod and the comparisons to Roki Sasaki from two thousand
and two and out of twenty twenty five, a guy
who burst onto the scene late in the playoffs and
really immerged as a lockdown closer, but just real quick.
Going back to oral herscheizer, I appreciate the bulldog calling

(17:20):
in last night. It was great chopping it up with him.
Because his name was everywhere minutes after the game, like
literally everywhere, everybody's talking and referencing Oral Herscheiser, And of
course at the end of the interview he had to
reference to you guys.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
All right, do not tell Petro some money that I
helped you out, all right.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I will not secret is with us? Thanks a lot.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Sorry, hopefully they're not listening.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I was listening the great Oral her the best.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh did you hear that?

Speaker 4 (17:45):
There he goes, there he goes, there he goes, there
he goes.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Had a couple of.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
There he goes.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Nice? Ain't that the true Matt? The Dodger success brings
a lot of attention to Tim Kats and a scam.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
You know what I mean, Well it should I mean
it is your morning shit, your Dodger morning show of record,
making a run at history, the first repeat World Series
champs in twenty five years, the first complete game since
twenty seventeen for the Dodgers since four And then you
got Oral Hirscheizer, a man who holds one of maybe
just I don't know two unbreakable records, and all of

(18:28):
professional sports, certainly in baseball, Joe DiMaggio's hit streak and
oral Hrscheizer's scoreless innings will never be broken. And the
guy's just driving around town like, Hey, I was listening
to you talk about me, and I decided to dial in.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Tim.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I was pretty shop wife.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
I heard you on the radio. I heard you mention
my name.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Wow, And he just called, that's what happens here when
the Dodgers get into the World Series. That's what happens.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Guys like orl Hrscheiser just dial in and weigh in
on complete game.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
All right, I do have to cat some money that
I helped you out.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
I will not secret is with us.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
There he goes, there, he goes, there, he goes.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah. Wow. I mean, what a time to be a
Dodger fan. Right. The only thing and I will say this, Matt,
the one good thing about the early start tomorrow very
inconvenient for you and I, But we do get the
cock show, which you coined many years ago. Yes, the
cover up Colin.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
The we do get cover up Colin for Rogan and
Rodney from an undisclosed location. So we appreciate that you
got scam.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
And we want if you want Rogan and Rodney instead
of Colin Cowherd, you do get the cover up Colin
the cop.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Right, you get the couck and you'll get the cuck
on the clips app if you want that on the app.
Otherwise you get Colin on the app. Is Well, wait,
was what am I going to do for my Chicago Bears?
Caleb Williams talk at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Oh yeah, and the Chiefs and and Caleb Williams and
Miami Dolphins on the podcast. And I guess, yeah, you're
gonna have to do. That's what That's what you're gonna
have to do.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Not a bad idea. I saw one posted today, I
think it was NFL memes ig, a fantastic Instagram page
that said never forget as Baker Mayfield is now the
favorite to be MVP this season. And it was a aage.
It was worse than that.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Oh the you went over why'd you go over there
and not celebrate with your teammates?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well even worse. I had never I've heard those I
had never heard this one, he says, and he's looking
directly into the camera and he says, Baker retire, it's over.
Go to college football, be an analyst, make seven figures
a year. You'll be dynamite in the media. You are

(20:57):
not an NFL quarterback. Retire, cash in on your brand.
They need a dynamic personality on your college football.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
And on Monday I turned on Monday. I turned him on,
and he was saying more people in America should be
like Baker Mayfield. That's what he was saying.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
I swear to God, retire, not like, hey, you gotta
clean this up. You got to stop throwing the ball
to the wrong tea higher, get him over.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Get out of Malibu, Lebowski, get out. Well that's terrible.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, I remember that one time out of Dodger Stadium.
I think it was there in the playoffs, right before
the NFL Draft. Actually it was in springtime and we
saw Baker Mayfield walk by with this girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
You remember that.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Where were we left field, Dodger Stadium and he walked by.
We're like, heyre's maker, babe, Baker Mayfield right there. He's like,
he kept walking. You don't remember that. I do remember that.
It's not coming back to me it was Baker Mayfield.
Was that the same postseason that Jonah Carey joined the show,
who I believe is now imprisoned. I don't remember that.

(22:08):
I don't remember that guy re being.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
On the show. He's in a halfway house. Now we'll
be right back with a top story of the day.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five seventy or your favorite
AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the
iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip
all summer with LA Sports.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Oh, it's a wistful time. The Dodgers are up to nothing.
The NLCS begins again tomorrow. We'll be on at noon
live schedule at the suite Tyler Glass now will get

(22:59):
the start. But tonight we got Clipper pregame. I don't
know why Tim didn't put it on the t sheet,
but we do have all right, Well, it starts at
six with fully functional employee at him. But right now
it's time for the top story of the app, top
story of it.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Well, to build on the conversation we had there in
the open with Tim Kates and Oral Hershey's are calling
into scam. I do appreciate as it is a three
man booth on TBS in the NLCS versus the NLDS
when it was just Frenchy and BA. They merged the
two broadcasts and it is now BA. Brian Anderson our
friend along with.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Friend child less friendly last night when he was like
another one of these high price Dodger.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Players, I'm with you on that. I did not like
that either. And the Jackson cheerio home cheerio Jackson cheerio
home serie cheerio certainly seemed to have a lot more
enthusiasm than the Taioscar Hernandez home run. But I appreciate
Ron Darling on the national broadcast, and it's something that
we've heard, you know, or Orchizo doesn't just call him

(24:05):
a scam when he hears us talking baseball. He calls
into petros and money as well. Now he is very
diplomatic about it, but Darling said it best. He goes,
why one hundred? What is it about one hundred pitches
that has led countless managers, general managers, hell entire organizations
to say that's it no more, not eighty pitches, not

(24:29):
one hundred and twenty pitches, not seventy, not one hundred
and fifty. But for some reason, it's one hundred, and
it applies to every stinking starting pitcher out there, no
matter their makeup their size, how hard they throw, what
the game situation is, whatever we're watching, whatever market you
might be watching where they're playing. As soon as that

(24:51):
starter gets to eighty or ninety pitches, the broadcast has
that camera takes a shot of the bullpen up a
little bit of activity out there, what relievers they might deploy,
because there's no chance this this starter could possibly last
all nine that God forbid might take him to one
hundred and ten pitches, and then his career could just

(25:12):
be over by tomorrow morning. One night, after pulling Blake Snell,
who was at one hundred and three pitches and showing
absolutely zero signs of fatigue or slowing down and nearly
giving away game, one of the nlcs shout out to
Dave Roberts and his staff for a shoeing. I like
a good a shoeing conventional wisdom.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
He did a shoe conventional wisdom. There's no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Throw it right in the trashy through it, and let
Yamamoto pitch the first complete game in the playoffs for
the Dodgers since two thousand and four, twenty one years.
This team has been in the playoffs thirteen straight years.
You know how many starts that is over thirteen years
with Clayton Kershaw, with Zach greenk and there were zero

(26:00):
complete games. That's freaking crazy.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Well, Kershaw in the postseason, Matt by a ton.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
A three hit masterpiece that started inauspiciously enough with that
Jack Centurio home run that got Pa feeling pretty good
about himself. First pitch ball gone, understand, you get a
little emotional about that. But facing the minimum over the
final four innings, not allowing a hit over the final
five frames, and after an eight pitch, low stress eighth inning, again,

(26:29):
tip of the cap, and kudos to Dave Roberts feeling
good enough about sending him back out there for the
ninth with a five to one lead at ninety seven pitches,
and Yamamoto delivered, And why wouldn't he. Contreras, Yelich, and
Vaughan were a combined zero for nine against him. Oh
the humanity. You're going to let him face him a
fourth time?

Speaker 3 (26:46):
My god? What are we thinking?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
They might know what the pitches look like, the arm angle,
the vel all of it. Pitchers pitch hitters hit, and
all of the video analysis in the world does not
change the fact that a guy standing in a box
with a round stick trying to square up a round
ball that's traveling between ninety five miles an hour and
one hundred miles an hour, moving up and down left

(27:10):
to right over the four tenths of a second it
takes to travel sixty feet six inches. I'm gonna send
the guy back out there that's been dominating for the
previous five innings and see if he can get three
more outs. So way to go, Dave, Way to go,
Yamamoto nineteen eighty eight. We just talked about it. World
Series Game two, Oral went all nine, one hundred and

(27:30):
six pitches. Game five, Herscheiser again nine in the clinch,
or one hundred and seventeen pitches. Nineteen eighty one World
Series Fernando went nine one hundred and forty seven pitches
for Fernando Valenzweil in that one. Jerry Royce also complete
game one hundred and eight pitches.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
He was in half Nelson as the Dodger.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
See he wasn't half Nelson.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
How did that song go? Again? La? You belong to me?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's right La. In twenty twenty, the longest a pitcher
went for that World Series championship In the World Series
was Kershaw's six in Game one, Walker Bueller six in
Game three. Last year, Yamamoto went six and a third
in Game two of the World Series. This is not
a Dodger thing. This is baseball. Last time Yamamoto snapped

(28:24):
an eight year drought. Last time we had a complete
game in the playoffs. Never mind the Dodgers, just the
playoffs twenty seventeen, when Verlander threw a complete game against
the Yankees in the ALCS. Eight years, we've got multiple

(28:45):
pitchers signing inking three hundred million dollars guaranteed deals, and
we can't get a complete game in the playoffs from
one of them in eight years. And the Dodgers should
have two of them in this series alone. Else should
have gone back out there. That's right for the ninth
And look what about tomorrow, We'll ask David vasse Glass. Now,

(29:08):
look great against the Phillies in Game four, six innings,
two hits, just eighty three pitches, and he didn't have
to face Trey Turner and Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper.
And yeah, wait to go Boemer, Way to go real
Muto or real Muto or real Muto. However you want

(29:28):
to say his name and that crew. I mean, in
three of his four September starts, glass Now threw over
one hundred pitches, that fourth one being the short one
up in Seattle that he was pulled after three innings
because they already had their three spot in the playoffs clinched.
But the other three one hundred and one, one hundred
and five, one hundred and eight. Why not Yamamoto can
go one hundred and thirteen. Why can't glass Now go

(29:52):
one hundred and eight and do what other Dodger pitchers
did back in the nineteen eighties. We'll talk about it.
Team that America can get behind, ba huh la, only
my ass. No openers, you belong to me, No openers,
No pull the pitcher before the third time through the lineup.

(30:14):
I'm Doc Roberts. Here's my horse, and he's going out
there and we're gonna ride him all night. We don't
even know who's pitching for Milwaukee tomorrow or Friday. We
know it's going to be Glass Now. In Otani though,
nips and abs, nips and abs, and the guy who's
hitting one forty three in the postseason. O'tani got to
ninety one pitches and eighty nine in his last two starts,

(30:35):
made it through six at eighty nine in Philadelphia in
Game one ninety one. Is last tune up in Arizona
before the end of the season. Now that's the greatness,
p that is the great stuff.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Uh, the not so great.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Last season, shoe Haltani had a disappointing two thirty average
and three ninety three slug in the playoffs, they won
a World Series. He had a dramatic home run to
get the playoffs started.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
He did.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Now that was compared to a three to ten average
and a six to forty six slug in the twenty
twenty four regular season. Otani even worse at the plate,
like one of the worst hitters in the Dodgers line
up this postseason, five for thirty four, fifteen strikeouts, a
one forty seven average, his three twenty four slug. How
bad is that it's the worst third worst on the team.

(31:21):
Only Will Smith, who has a broken hand and struggled
in his return, and Andy Piez, who has looked lost
out there before that double last night, or worse like
Ben Rotvett, Benny Biceps and Alex Call have better numbers
than Otani. His fifteen strikeouts are double that of any
other player double, and he's the greatest player in the

(31:41):
history of baseball. Now he has got a minimum of
six games to change that. Unless somehow they lose this
thing to the Brewers. What doesn't look likely, and he looks.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Lost out there, Otani does.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yes, I feel like I can predict every single at
bat at this point. Take strike one, take strike to
call a time out, remove your helmet, run your fingers
through your hair, put your helmet back on, step into
the batter's box, take a ball swing and miss badly

(32:13):
at strike three.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Okay, well, I mean I think you missed out on
the apologize to everybody on the way out. Oh that's
way back. But yeah, yeah, no, you're I mean, I
don't know. Does Tim Kates agree? I agree?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Okay, it's it's been. It's it's essentially been a guarantee.
I feel like I don't know why you would intentionally
walk that guy to get to Mooki Betts at this point,
who's hitting three oh three with just two strikeouts and
ten hits. You want to put Mooki in a position
to get to a picture. No, give me the guy
hitting one forty seven with the fifteen. K's not the

(32:50):
guy hitting three oh three with the two strikeouts. But
it's the threat, Matt. It's the threat that's always there
with Shoho Tani, like the Cold War, the threat of
the Russians is there?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
The threat? The threat?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Is that what it is? Yes, it's the threat. Well,
let me say this, there is still an opportunity to
see more out of number seventeen, because it's getting uncomfortable
at this point. It's a little weird. It is a
little weird, right, like, Hey, what are you celebrating for
mister zero for five? Well, I wouldn't say that, all right,

(33:25):
it's not that bad, but it is uncomfortable seeing arguably
the best pitcher in best player in baseball strike out
fifteen times and just stare at strike three, as you
like to say, pe right down the d, right down
the d, or swinging wildly at a pitch that his

(33:46):
way and I don't even know what this means. Oh,
he's opening up his front shoulder. He's got no chance.
I can't take it. I can't take hearing that anymore.
Oh there was he opened up the front shoulder. There,
he's got no chance.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
And Mookie Betts didn't even have a hit last night
and the Dodgers were dominant. I mean they left like
twenty guys and they won by comfortably.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Matt, Matt, my new favorite one is he's got to
unlock those hipshis.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Come on, good call right there.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh that's what it is. Yeah, and lock the pips,
don't open the front shoulder. That's what we need from you.
Show hey, and how about another complete game from class now?
Nips and apps, knits and apps all day.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Let's go. You think he can do it, Matt, I
think he can do it. You better call the Santa
Clarita signal. You better call them up.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I can do that.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Well, we'll be back with some more Dodger news and conversation.
Thanks for listening. Ricky Knew coming up for you in
the four o'clock hour, David Massey in our final hour.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Hello, PMS listener. Did you know Am five seventy LA

with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper Talk
Without a Musk, follow us all, and many more. Just

Speaker 2 (35:22):

hour live from Dodger Stadium, each team getting a workout

(35:44):
Game three will be tomorrow in early one, a three
zero eight pm first pitch, and we'll be out at
Dodger Stadium for our twelve to two slot that day.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Are you excited, matt Y See, Rogan and Rodney.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
No, because Kate said they weren't going to be there.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Oh well, maybe it'll change, you know.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I mean I can't imagine them wanting to get there
at nine am for a three pm first pitch. A
little bit tougher for them, you know, as opposed to
us going right up. We can get down on the field,
we can see schedule, talk our old friends, no more
my friends, and we had JJ SPAWHND last time outs.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, but ping Alarm logged him.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Oh god, ping a lord, dude, let him show friends.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Goad for some secret text, so secret text us a
fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
We make it easy.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
A lot of Dodger reaction, Matt to the first forty
or so minutes of the show. Uh, disregarding your o Tawny. Uh,
you know what's gonna happen. Exactly what's gonna happen every
time he gets in the batter's box and he's gonna
strike out, He's gonna run his fingers to his hair,
He's gonna take a time out.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
This says Money nailed it.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Like it's okay, strike one, take strike two, take time out.
Please fingers helmet back on ball one and oh.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
No, Matt sounds like a little bitch with his Karen
voice complaining about the Dodgers when they're dominating the playoffs.
Stop hating and enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
I did three quarters of it on how awesome the
starting pitch was and the complete game and how great
it was and beautiful, and thank you Doc for giving
us a complete game starter for the first time at
twenty seventeen. Just felt like we had enough right, fair
and balance.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
This says, keep Atani's name out of your mouth. By
this says has so Tani tried hitting more doubles, you know,
using his power and his speed, And the more I
think about the you should try to hit more doubles.
Call to Jock Peterson so many years ago on Dodger Talk,

(37:57):
it was really really stupid. I love it. Could here's
he's gonna want to meet me. But if you could
maybe go for more doubles, you know, use both your
speed and your power. Maybe shove the ball around a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
But yeah, great idea.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
I wish I could hit a double every time. I'm
gonna go for that though.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Hey hey, professional baseball player, how about you hit more doubles?

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, you should try to hit more doubles. I tried.
I hit a double every time. Seattle's got the big
dumper and we've got the big slumper. Oh you did it, Matt, All.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Right, listen, you did it. Yeah, you've done it, Matt.
It's very strange, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
This, says bitch ass. Jimmy Rollins on the post game yesterday,
called the Brewers average Joe's compared to the Dodgers. That
pissed me off him just because his lame Philly's lost
against us. He could suck it with his stupid chin
strap beer. Wow. I didn't know Jimmy Rollins was a thing.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Jimmy Rollins is all about the Phillies. Well, when they
got bounced, he was so upset and it was a Dodger. Yeah,
he's a Philly at heart. I mean, he played a
full season for the Dodgers one year and not enough.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
He's over it.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
At least he's balanced out with Pedro Martinez, who actually
does defend the Dodgers and has been very good. That
was cool to see Pedro and Tao rapping in Spanish
last night afterwards.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
You know, Happy birthday to Tao scar by the way,
I think he's like sixty five years old today. Fifth
fast hips.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, but that first of it says he's twenty.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Why has he been able to unlock his hips? Matt right, if.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
He's got half their ribbies, he's got he's got ten
or twenty eight percent of their RBI or one guy,
one guy. No love for Max Munsey, by the way,
who broke the Dodgers postseason record for most home runs,
passing Seeger and Justin Turner Wade past Duke Snyder. I mean,
come on, fourteen. Pretty great, m.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Glass. Now, Jimmy Rollins is from Oakland, so I can
understand why he's so mad. H Glass now needs to
unlock those nips. Forget about the.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Hips, nips and abs, nips and aps.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
We talked about the waiting in line for credentials tomorrow
behind the Santa Clarita signal. This says, I was in
the Santa Clarita signal because I was part of a
parent teacher school board symposium. And I've got nips and abs.
Glass now's no better than me. Well done, sir. You
get in there and you make it about yourself.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Nips and abs, nips and abs, nips.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Nips, everybody's got them, they just are all different. I'm
missing tip. Did Tim Kates just mention the threat of
the Cold War? Has he been watching Red Dawn on
repeat again? Well? Tim's been working real hard. Tim was
responsible for three, five, at least eight hours of programming

(40:59):
yesterday on the stage.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
So Oil Tim, I heard you on the radio.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Oh thanks, bulldog, I appreciate that. Which hour did you
hear me?

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Oil?

Speaker 6 (41:08):
Tim? I heard you on the radio?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Okay, gott be a little bit more specific than that.
Was it six to nine. Was it I don't know,
four to five or was it eight to ten.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
That's pretty funny, Oil, Tim. I heard you on the.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Radio, Matt. This one's for you. It's about Colin Cowhard.
It says, my favorite Colin Cowhard take was that Sean
Payton was so good that's why he loses games at
the beginning of the season. He's so good. And he
says to me, is so good that he's actually bad?

(41:44):
Top five. Hang, and another one is saying that remember
Colin talking about that lonely girl in Bakersfield or Baker.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Yeah, that was Baker.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
As he said she had no hope and no hope.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
The girl in the sandbox. Yes, just looked at it
and I was like, no hope. This girl's got no hope,
no chance. Baker. Retire. College football needs you in the booth.
You'll be sensational, you'll make seven figures. You can't play it.
You're not a quarterback. You're not an NFL quarterback. Retire.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
That's really bad.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Yes, that's as bad as it gets. Telling a guy
to retire who's like twenty five years old.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Well, you know he's qualified to be like a quarterbacks,
Like a quarterback guru. Yeah, it's a mean old world
telling Baker Mayfield to retire, Stay with us, We got
your word number. Song of the Day Ricky Neuheisel as well.
