Dumbest call I've ever heard. Coach coach.

All right, this is a tweet from Magic Johnson. He's
a part owner of the Dodgers and the Commanders. One

Thank you, Craig.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You're right, Dogney, you especially somebody. I'm seventy LA Sports Live.
But now you can enjoy your chips. Craig has given
me an ode and I love it. Oh, he's pissed.
He doesn't like what you did. Listen he his loud
voice is really mean. The loud he didn't. I didn't
hear the loud voice.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I heard it from you. Oh for me? Yeah, what
are you doing? What are you're doing? Where's my going?
You ruined my moment? You have sent Craig. I can't
have that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Although this is our last day at Dodger Stadium unless
there is a parade, we are here for Game five.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Of the World Series. You know how important this game is.
Listen to Magic Man.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
With the series being two and two, Game five is
very important. Whichever team wins takes control of the series. Now,
I don't know who you want to blame as far
as listeners go, I'm sure Matt will let us know
who has to blame. Well, Craig is to blame for
the batching of the beginning of the show. You might
(03:19):
be to blame for upsetic Craig while he was eating
his chims.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
There's a lot of blame to go around in this suite.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
There's a lot of blame to go around everywhere a
lot of people want to blame the Gonsado Bats, A
lot of people want to blame Mookie Betts or Andy
Pajez specifically. Some want to blame Dave Roberts, who's being
interviewed on Kate's's Favorite show on the MLB Network.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's intentional talk. Intentional talk.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's the one going on right now. We are back
for the third day in a row at the same
time on a flex alert.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I thought we'd been kicked out by now. To be honest,
we have not.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
We are back from two to four, are at Dodger Stadium,
and there will be a game six on Friday from
two to four. We will be on, but we will
not be at Dodger Stadium, nor will we be in Canada.
It is the Petros and Money Show on a We
just won't be defeated Wednesday. And I don't know if
(04:19):
Ronnie's gotten queued up, but it feels like a must
win for Dodger fans, at least a pseudo must win.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Be Are we gonna play this prematurely?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Do you think, like I know you talk about being nonchalant,
I'm talking being an issue.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm talking about hope, hopeful music, I was nervous there
for Aus.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I know that. I thought you were talking about win
hopeful music at New No.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm not ready for Kwando. No, they won a World
Series last year, Argo today or something. So congratulations to
the Blue Jays on their inspiring victory and their inspiring
playing throughout the playoffs and specific last night at Dodger Stadium.
Justin Bieber's little brother stifling the Dodgers looks good mustache
(05:08):
with his pitching style. And I have my own blame
to go around. I blame Prince Harry and his ex
actress wife Megan Markle.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, that's some stink you bring into the Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
They were here last night, which is proper because whenever
we are here, Matt, whenever I turn around to use
the restroom or go anywhere, I run into Prince Harry,
pseudo Royal and or Megan Markle, and they love the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They're well, they've been here all year.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Their royal brand is synonymous with Dodger Baseball, and they
both last night had pristine Dodger hats on. And it
was inspiring to somebody. I don't know who, but it
must have inspired somebody, perhaps, the Blue Jays to beat,
you know, because the English monarchy is much more connect
(06:00):
did to Canada right there on the money, it's on
the money exactly than the Dodgers, and maybe they're going
to have Megan Markle on their money pretty soon. But
it did see that happening, but did not inspire the
Doyer Bats because the bats were movie Consado last night.
I mean Consado in a very Consado way. Now, also
(06:21):
here a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
People can point fingers at the bullpen that has been
a you know, the decision making by Dave Roberts. Who's
going to come in? When, who pitches the who? When
am I gonna lift this guy? Should I send show
Hay back out there?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I heard the stat this morning, Kate's what is it like,
thirty innings and they've scored three runs or something or
the problem fourteen innings.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Or since the seventh inning of Game three they have
scored two runs, free runs, three runs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know who also was here that didn't inspire the bats,
Matt Chebron Lames. That's right, AKA some people's goat aka
Lebron James. He was here with his lovely wife Savannah.
Now I always thought he was a Yankee fan or
a Cleveland Indians fan or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
He is I think, well, he's worn the Yankee hat.
He is the quintessential Cowboys, Yankees, North Carolina basketball.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's the fandom, right.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I like North Carolina basketball, I like Cowboy football, I
like Yankee baseball. That is truly what Lebron James was into.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And by the way, I'm here to desecrate the Laker
brand for a decade.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And then when people pushed back then he was just
a child at the time, he was eighteen years old.
But when people push back and we're like, wait a minute,
you're not into the Browns and you're not into the Indians,
he was like.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Whoa, I like the Indians.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
He shows up on Ohio State side and that's when
he claimed that he would have gone to Ohio State
if he were go which is an absolute crock of crap.
Were he to go to college and straight yeah and
go straight to the NBA, No, he would have gone
to North Carolina or Duke maybe Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Maybe Kentucky. How you like me? Now?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Not even Jabron Lames could inspire the Bats to not
be so heavy eyelighted and so consado. Now Fred and
Rodney and David vass and Kevin Figures is still up here,
so maybe he can correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
But all of those is he podcasting?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know what he's doing. All of those.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Fred Rodney and our own David Vassa who will join
us here in a little while, have blamed the fans
for the bats being consao. How does U scam blame
the players?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah? I think that morning probably a.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Better direction of game. Tim kats blamed the play. Well,
they can't hit, they're swinging for the fences. You can't win,
you know, I don't know what. You can't manufacture runs.
You can't score runs if you can't get on base
their risk. Yesterday people might ball. They were over with
runners in scoring position. They only had runners in scoring
position five times. I had five at bats. Did you
(08:56):
have a runner in scoring position? That speaks that it's
not just the lack of the home run. There's no
traffic on the basis, no traffic called Matt. Guys are
popping up repeatedly. We saw a very uh it's ugly, Matt,
it is, And you know what, I'll tell you what, guys,
I don't care how ugly. It is as long as
we can get the six or seven games. I feeling
(09:18):
pretty good about what this Dodger team's doing.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Did you guys see the grounds crew down here? They
were working on the grass down by the first base
coaching box. Hookie Betts has had so many pop ups
to Vlad Guerrero. There he's wearing a hole in the grass.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh, Kate, Oh you know what that is. That's a
clap your hands.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
How do you like me?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Bummern Betts popping out to the first base side bomber.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It was a bit of channeling of that guy this
morning on.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Scan Little Tim Kate's channel in that day from Cocaine Kates. Now,
Tim Kates has been working tirelessly twenty four to seven
all of the month of October. And it is Halloween
coming up on Friday. That means the month is over.
His time is coming to an end. But Tim Kates
is chewed up like a piece of juicy fruit. That's
it in somebody's mouth for like four hours. The taste,
(10:03):
the taste is gonna move you, and he's been moved
by the spirit.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Now, I don't know if the Dodgers are gonna win.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Matt I don't know if the bats are gonna wake
up from being consigno. I don't know if Mookie Betts
will remember his World Series heroics of yesteryear and hit
better and the three hole to night as opposed to
the two all.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I can't believe they did that to him humiliating.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't know, Matt, if Toronto will continue their gritty
ways and less Savage will confuse the Dodger Batsman like
he did in Game one. But what I do know,
Matt overall, if there was a winner this World Series
that we had to declare here before a pivotal Game five,
(10:44):
as Magic tells us.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The real winner is Strauss. Strauss Workware for great workers,
Strauss Powers.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
World Series coverage on a five seventy LA sports is
Strauss is making history as the first brand ever featured
on professional baseball helmets. We have a Strauss helmet in
our five seventy as a.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Strauss shirt downed by Tim Kats this morning on the
YouTube doing scam.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You were wearing it down on the field yesterday yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
It is family owned, it is trusted worldwise. They want
to climb on its back and race around India dot
Com now see, I thought you were going to say
the real winner of this Dodger postseason, because I think
it is indisputable.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Specials some money show.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We have attended every single game here at Dodger Stadium,
we have made our way down onto the field.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We have garnered what I think is a.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Friendly feelings from the amount of media folks that have
turned out. More as it is multiplied series by series,
I don't feel like we're getting the Kirk glances or
the eye rolls that we get during the regular season
or on opening Day. I think people recognize, Hey, we're
in LA this is an institution, our.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Home, our city, our home.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And look at all these fancy folks that are walking
over to talk to these guys. Here comes Tyler Glass.
Now everybody wants a piece of him, and he's talking
to these two Jimokes. Here comes Sean Green, No more
Garcia Para, not even on the mic, just hanging out
and chopping it up. I think it's been a hell
of a three weeks scam. Now, look, scam sets the
tone in the morning, right, scam sets the day.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And we all feed off of that, believe it. But
and there was a lot of anger from scam this morning.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
A lot of frustration from Tim Kaits a lot of
lamenting and a lot of screaming at the heavens, a
lot of eyuda.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
May. I think a lot of folks were hoping for
a weekend parade. I think the idea Friday parade, which
would have been interesting considering it would been Halloween.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But freaks come out now the parade. We're in a limbo.
We don't know if there's gonna be a parade. We
might have to go to BJ's on Monday and we
might have to cancel that. If there's a parade on Monday,
we don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
What we do know is it's going back to Canada.
Break out your passports, get ready to sit in customs,
queue up the or fire up the david Offs, and
get ready to get after it on Friday night and
perhaps even Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Unless you've taken a drag of a Davidoffs cigarette with
teenage loves, you have no idea what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It blow your lungs right out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
What we do know is this game five. We'll start
at five oh eight pm from the Gallpin Motors broadcast
booth that Tim Kates and Dodgers on Deck will begin
at four, and we can only control the controllables, and
our controllables are putting together a hell of a two
hour broadcast like we have the last two days. And
the last two days have been pretty freaking fun down there, yeah,
(13:39):
and having a good time.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
How the second we come on, you already start lobbying
for us to go down there.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Well, I do resent that.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I know that we're going down because of Dave, so
I know that David Vessey is joining us in the
next time. We have to go down.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Now we don't, and I totally resent it, but I
understand that it's been the pattern for the last three days.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I feel like it goes well when we're down there.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I just get caught up in the river and get
sucked into the wash and get sucked down there like
a toilet bowl.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Put your life jacking on. Let's go down there.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Fred and Rodney asked callers what their panic meter was
today and.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Basically come up with a panic thing for this show. Well,
we should figure out a way how to incorporate panics.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They did a bunch of calls on panic and I'm
not going to say that that got a little bit
underneath my skin as a Southern American. But I did
think that they kind of stole the panic Brother's thunder. Now,
we weren't going to take calls and ask what people's
level of panic was, but they yelled at the callers,
(14:35):
and that's what we were going to do. I was
going to take calls today and ask the people what
the panic meter was. And but we take so many
calls and I was going to yell and berate the callers.
And now I don't have that option. What am I
going to do? What should I do now that it's
already been done.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was having a conversation with the greatest promotions person
in the history of radio, Dave we'e.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Dave wee'ze when uh, Dave We's finally getting the credit
he deserves.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
This year exactly, He's deserved it for decades. But when
Rodney was laying into that the.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Credit, my man, I took it. I'm talking it.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I ran it across the ind zone and I stocked
it like George Kittle.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
When Rodney was getting into the color, I thought he
was yelling at Fred and it was kind of like
one of those whenever And now I was on the
other side of it, right when all the people just
like you yelled at poor Craig. Well, but you know
that's an ironic But.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Look at Craig.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
He didn't feel like it was ironic. Creig, he's got
more mouth, there's a tight seam. He's like, oh, his
bra was furrowed.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But uh when he was yelling, and I was like, oh,
this is must this must be what it felt like
when Don Martin was screaming at the two of us
and there were other people in the suite and they
were uncomfortable with workplace anger and workplace vitriol because I
thought Rodney was screaming at Fred for blaming Dave rod I.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Hope you guys are enjoying your success. I patted it in.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I patted it in for this year, so you enjoy
that success.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It me.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'm patted it in, thank you, boss, So we appreciate.
I guess's gonna go down there in the next segment
and talk to David Vase. Obviously, no player interviews today,
as people are as tight as Craig, a little trepidacious.
Although the series is tied and tonight is a whole
horse of a different color.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
The thing is though Pe And we say this every year.
You know, people want things to be easy. You go
back to last year's World Series, and what do we
talk about. We talk about being down two to one
of the Padres. This year we talked about the Phillies
being the World Series and those two nail bitiers against
those lefties in Philadelphia. Like the Brewers Series, outside of
(16:44):
the incredible performance by Altani in Game four, isn't even.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Mentioned like this is what you want.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You need some adversity, you need some buttholes to be clenched,
You need to freak out a little bit for it
to be memorable. We barely talk about the Yankee Series
except for the one game that they were up big
and Judge booted that ball, and that's really the extent
of what we talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
They won one and then Judge booted that ball in
Game five and the Dodgers ended up winning it all.
But this is a fan base that expects victory. This
is a fan base that wanted a coronation last night. Otherwise,
why would King James be here, Why would Prince Harry
be here?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Is Lebron or is he our Drake?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Are we at that level yet where he is the
When he walks in, everyone's like, oh no.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I mean he's close.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But when you got Megan Markle and Prince Harry sitting
in the front row with two pristine Dodger hats on
like they've been here all year, rolling down from Santa
Barbara and high fiving all the Gordo's and the Sussios
and the pavilion.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
When you have that, you think the helicopter dom No,
you think they take you think they car it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I don't know I helicopter. I could not downtown Ola
then take a car set I'm thinking I have, I
could not even venture to gain.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
But I know that it was all orchestrated by their
pr and they made sure that the Fox broadcast was
going to have a shot of them as the lead
celebrities in the very first celebrity moment of showing the
stars in the crowd. And when I saw that, I thought, Wow,
that's not good. And I usually don't do that. I'm
(18:22):
usually not like, oh, there's Drake in his Kentucky uniform.
They're gonna lose. I'm not like that. But Prince Harry
and Megan Markle, that's a bad look. They could be
the most toxic brand on the West Coast, second Jabron
Lames and his son Browny. So I was when I
saw that, I was a little bit disheartened as to
how things weren't going to go. But I don't know
(18:44):
if blaming the fans for not having much to cheer
about throughout the game is really the way to go. Yeah,
I mean the fans stand up and get cracking when
the bats wake up.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, players couldn't get hit.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The bats were casado and pop ups don't make people excited.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
The thing also about the celebrities last night, and it
was appropriate that it was Lebron. Now, granted he couldn't
have come the night before because the Lakers were playing Portland.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But well he's so busy at that game drinking wine
and wearing his fashionable clothing.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
But in the case of like Harry and Megan Markle,
they could have come on Monday, they didn't. They saw
it became the event in Los Angeles, the baseball event
of the year, and they were like, here ourselves, we
got to get in on this. Let me get down
like we're part of something right, Like, you know, Monday,
it's the Rob Low, Jason Bateman, Magic Johnson, couple of
(19:36):
the Chargers were out because they played on Thursday the Regulars,
but then last night seemed to be the parade of
the and I'm using the air quotes a listers. Oh
we missed out. We missed out on Monday. We got
to get out there on Tuesday. And that put a
cast to Paul and put a stank.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Inside Dodger State.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You guys missed.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Brad Pitt was here last night. I Brad Pitt. He's
sitting next to Flea. It was just like, Oh, there's
some guy named Brett that's bred freaking pitch.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I got a text from Captain Chapass in Hawaii, one
of our favorite listeners who's been listening a long time.
He's no longer a captain, he is Lieutenant Colonel Chapass
and I got a text that says, ola pee, Lieutenant
Colonel Chapass here and he hopes of getting Geddy Lee
as a guest on today. He was here last night
supporting awesome the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
And we support him supporting well.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I didn't want to be kurt or dishonest, but I
just said, no, there's no chance of us getting Geddy Leon.
I just don't see it happening, and he sent back
a disappointed face.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I mean, we did have Robby Kreeger on at Dodger Stadium,
so we have had musical legends from the past.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It didn't go well either.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You asked him about Grenavon Fleet and said that they sucked,
and then he came back and said he loved that band.
And there was really nowhere to go from here. It
was right there, old.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It was right above the Boston Red Sox Bullpen during
the World Series in right field, and I do say
it was warming up in the Bully and he had.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Something to promote. I don't know if Geddy Lee has
anything to promote. But we are here. We are ready
for Game five. If you didn't know, it's a pivotal game.
And if you didn't know, Game five is the game
that's gonna tell the tale as to who controls the
series and if you don't believe.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Who says that Magic Johnson.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Look where Megan Markle and the Prince were sitting last night.
There looks like there's name tags on the seats for
tonight's game. So I wonder if we get a little
sneak preview where down there as far as who's gonna
be sitting.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
In front row?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Right in the front there, Yeah, that's where they were sitting.
So I wonder we're able to see who's gonna be
there tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Well maybe it'll be William and Kate. Wow, you know
they caught half that. That's us. They fly out here
to try to get some shine. That'd be something, It's sure,
what Matt, it would be a story. And we'll be
back from Dodger Stadium. We'll talk to David Vasse, our
Dodger insider.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Who's got a lot to say, and who else knows
what could happen down.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
There or Herscheiz were standing right there, weren't his own jersey.
It is a.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Moral You don't think he's going to join us. We're

Kidding me, you know what, because you said that, I'm
not going all right? No, no, no, you took it
too far. I'm not kidding. You took it too far
right there, you just took it way too far.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I was gonna go, But now you have a couple
of shooters.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, you come back here a different lady. We'll be
right back. I trust somebody on a F five seventy

We now know it's going six.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yoshiyamamoto will get another start, but certainly excited about these
next two dudes that'll be taking them mound and throwing
out the first pitch for the Dodgers coming off a
loss last night.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Did he come down? I'm here joining us right now.
Is he always late on your.

It's very popular people stop him on.

Your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline brought to you
by Service Titan dot Com.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Brought to you by Strauss.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's our Dodger Insider David rest Hell of.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Western USC in a Weekum, Hayman's gonna be out of town.
That's unfortunate. It's gonna be away there at the College.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'll be in Orlando. But it's a Fox game.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
The one and only David Vasse hour Dodger insider inside
the Dodgers like a spleen. He knows exactly what's going on.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I know what upsets them last night? Was disappointed? What
is that guy? A fan?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And Dave you once again went after the fans, speaking
of fans that the fans were consado last night along
with the Bats.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
It felt like five o'clock was not first pitch. It
was Ciesta time at Dodger Stadium. And I hope Dodger
fans that are coming tonight, that have spent their hard
earned money are going to show up and be loud
like they were during the twenty seventeen World Series the
twenty eighteen World Series. This is a must win game
(24:45):
for the Dodgers. They cannot go down three games to
two with the Blue Jays going back to Canada with
an opportunity to win just one of those two games.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Why didn't they make the.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Move with the lineup the way they did today yesterday
you suggested on this air.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I actually believe they should have made this change in
game two, and I'm not one hundred percent satisfied with
this lineup change. I feel like Miguel Rojas should have
been at second base. And after we saw Tommy Edmond
play six extra innings in center field, that told me
his right ankle is good enough. But obviously Dave Roberts
(25:22):
has more information. He's not sold on that.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They're trying to.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Keep Tommy Edmund available for the last three games of
this World Series. So that's the reason why Edmund's at
second base, Key Kays and center and Alex call instead
of Andy Pajes is hitting ninth. So at least that's
a good change. And also I brought this up on
Rogan and Rodney what Mookie Betts. I'm sorry, Mookie Betts
(25:46):
three for nineteen in the World Series. I don't know
how you can continue to have him hitting second behind Otani,
and the Dodgers felt the same way. Will Smith, who
is having the best at bats this side of Otani,
is hitting behind Otani, which gives him a lot more protection.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Dave, you mentioned the fans when you hopped on first,
just kind of going back to that there haven't been
there hasn't been traffic. It seems like there hasn't been
that big hit. There hasn't been the big inning. Like
to me, I get it, you want the fans to
be a little bit more excited, but it's they're not
stringing any hits together this World Series.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
It seems like that's and I would assume we talked.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
About this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It's like a philosophy thing, like can we get some
traffic on the base, Can you string some things together?
It feels like it's either donn or over the fence
or there's really not a lot going on out there.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Freddy Freeman was in the press conference at one o'clock
and he said the same thing. We can't just be
out there trying to hit home runs. We have to
string hits together. And I actually talked to Freddy after
the press conference and he told me how you feeling?
I said, it's not important how I feel. How do
you feel today? He said, I feel real good. And
the Dodgers feel really optimistic that they're going to get
(26:50):
this win today. They're optimistic. Blake Snell is going to
be more like Blake Snell. I know Blake told me
that a couple of days ago, and the Dodger offense
with this tweaks, I wouldn't say it's a shake up,
but it's some tweaks. Tweaks that can change the dynamic
of the cohesion of one unit can possibly payoff dividends today.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
How much do you think the decision to go with
call instead you've been sort of pushing for Miguel Rojas,
the veteran presient of play second Edmund to go to center.
How much of it is the bat of call versus
Tommy Edmund in center with the ankle, Like, what do
you think went into to that being the decision pardon
upon the call versus Miguel Rojas and Edmund and center.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Yeah, Like I mentioned, Dave Roberts doesn't feel one hundred
percent sold that Edmund's right ankle can hold up and
he could be as good of a center fielder out
there as Key k or Andy Pah has And I
can't argue with that. I don't know if he's lost
a half a step or not, but I'm okay with
this key k Can played center field on the way
(27:51):
to the World Series last year.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Something needed to be tweaked.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Andy pa Has couldn't continue to be in this starting
lineup considering his struggles not only in the World Series
but in the postseason. And I do like Mookie Beds
being dropped. I mean, you can't drop them to the
sixth spot in the lineup where you would lose them for.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
The entire rest of the series.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
But I have somebody that was close to Mookie Bets
in Boston tell me that Mookie's mind is in a
great spot today and he expects a big.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Game five from Marcus Lynn Betts.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
The one and only David Vassay is our gast, He's
our Dodger insider on AM I seventy LA Sports. We're
down here on the field in front of the dugout
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It is truly a scene.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Dave, are we not giving the Toronto Blue Jays enough credit?
Or how much credit do the Blue Jays deserve? They
seem like a scrappy bunch.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
They're a scrappy bunch, And it sounded like Dave Roberts
was a little envious of their offensive approach after the
game last night, where they just basically play pepper when
it's called for, and they do not go down easy.
They foul pitches off, they make you work. And I
thought the Dodgers played into Shane Bieber's hands last night
since second one out, they had a great opportunity at
(29:03):
a time when the score was two to one, and the.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Dodgers missed it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
I thought that was a perfect example of just what
Freddie Freeman and Dave Roberts have been talking about. Too
many big swings, trying to do too much in those situations.
And the Dodgers' offense has only scored three runs in
the last twenty innings. That's got to change. The Dodgers
have to score early today to get Blake Snell an
early lead, and that would get this crowd involved and
(29:29):
that would change the tone of it. And when I
say score early, I'm not talking about one run. I'm
talking about.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Cricket runs at least has been Is that in their
DNA day Like I mean, you've obviously you've been with
them all one hundred and sixty two games. Is this
a team that routine lee has scored early? Let teams
know you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Blake.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Snell's on the mound and we're already up three or
four to nothing, and it's the third inning they have.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But this is the World Series.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
In the postseason, it's hard to put up five or
six numbers, five or six runs against starting pitchers in
the world scene. The Blue Jays did it against Bonda
and trying in and that's another issue as well. A
lot of these relievers that are coming in in place
of Alex Vesia are not stranding inherited runners.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Those runners are scoring, and.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
When you're a relief pitcher, you can't always have the
ideal situation of starting a clean inning. When there's runners
at first and second, you've got to get out of
that jam.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What is the likelihood we see Blake trying and pitching
again this year for the Dodgers. It wouldn't have to
be like another eighteen inning game, because certainly, I think
he's paced seven hitters and given up five hits, which
isn't good.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I would find it hard to believe for him to
pitch in a high leverage situation again, Petros, I just
don't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I really don't.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
I just I feel like Dave Roberts has better options
at his disposal.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Who are Dave?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Who do you think the high leverage pitchers are for tonight?
Outside of Sasaki?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
The ideal situation is for Blake's noew to go seven
and hand the ball to Sasaki for his six out safe.
I mean, he hasn't pitched hardly at all in this
World series, so that would be the perfect. If it's not, then, uh,
you know Edgardo Enriquez was really impressive in extra innings.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I would say he would be the right handed guy
I would go to.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I could relate with this because I heard it in
Steven Nelson's voice last night.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I heard it in Joe Davis's voice last night. Madness.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I know, yeah, because I know he lives in southern
California and you guys are here and you had a
good chance to maybe not have to go back to Canada.
But did you feel like you were punched in the
d when you knew that you had to go back
to Canada?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Think about this a family man like yourselves. No Halloween,
Dad will not be at Halloween this year.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
That's what I'm saying. I mean a lot of sad.
Did you feel?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Yeah, my mom just had heart Ablasian procedure. Yeah, she's
doing good now. My brother John came from Boston to
be with her for.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The last couple of days. That's good to see John. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
So on the personal note, Joe Davis won't be home
handing out candy in his palatial estate.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
He just hands out burn hands.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
He hands up burn hands. Yes, from Jove's bar.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
But seriously, some Dellys would be able to give out candy.
And Irvine, Irvine's gonna go starving.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's Halloween. It's gonna be rough. But but that can't
be easy for the Dodgers or everybody else to swallow.
But I guess it's the nature of the beast here. Yeah,
that's how it is.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I mean, baseball extends the postseason now all the way
through October, so I mean that's the reality of it.
You don't want to have to go back to Canada.
But this is not a question for right now. But
I felt like at the beginning of this World Series,
not enough of Petro some money talking about the fact
that if the Dodgers would have won just one game
(32:38):
against the Angels, or Tanner, Scott and Curbyates would have
blown one less save the Dodgers would have had home
field advantage and would only have had to go to
Canada once instead of having to go twice. Now they
made their bed. They're gonna have to find a way
to win today. And my vision is win today and
Yamamoto pitch another gem in Game six and is the
(33:02):
World Series MV love it?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
What about? Do you think we see Otani again? I mean, yeah,
you're gonna seem lead off tonight. Ah, there go a
blessing guy.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Now that would obviously fly in the face of your
complete game from Yamamoto, but it seems like that's someone
after the seventh inning, and I was surprised they sent
him back out there for the seventh It's ninety pitches.
The guy was on base nine times the night before.
Did that surprise you? Number one and two? He seems
like the kind of guy that's like, hey, man, give
me an inning. Let me get one more inning to
go out there and end this thing the right way
(33:32):
on the mountain.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Hey, Dave Roberts said it today, All hands on deck.
If there's a Game seven, and yeah, Otani would be
available to pitch. But in that scenario, wouldn't Otani have
to open. Oh, he would have to open a game seven.
I'm not sure you want Tyler glassnow starting game seven.
I'd rather have if all hands are on deck, I'd
rather have Glass now coming out of the bullpen in
(33:53):
a game seven and Otani opening the first couple of innings.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
We talked about Mookie bats, David Vasse saying that he
heard that he's in a great headspace today.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Freddie Freeman told him himself that he did not.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Tell me that. Freddie did not tell me about that.
Freddie Freeman told you himself he was there. We go,
so you got you can let me finish. I'd get
it out now.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
People are upset around here, a lot of anger now
overall that I.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Can't be seen around Kates. Do we get twenty feet
from him? Please?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Do you get the impression that the Dodgers are depending
too much on Otani, that at the team is waiting
around for Otani to do something to save them.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
That's what Freddy said as well. It can't just be
all Otani. And I just feel like there was some
sort of realization that everybody can't be Otani. You're not
going to hit it over the pavilion. He's the guy
you got to support him get on base. And look
last year's postseason, so many padres told me it was
(34:54):
so much easier to face Otani with nobody on base.
But once the bottom of the Dodgers got on base
and turned that lineup over, it was really hard to
pitch to him.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And we just haven't seen that.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
So far, and that was part of the reason why
Dave Roberts decided he had to make a change.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Defensively, Dave happy with the way the Dodgers have been playing.
Seems like it's every game there's a boot, there's a
dirt ball speaking of Like, I both Tony saving him
to play. It feels like Freddy saved about nine hundred
throws at first base in this series.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Hey, that's one thing Tim Kates has been on all
over the season. Freddie Freeman the most underappreciated defensive first
baseman in baseball. Without Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts is not
a Gold Glove candidate Without Freddie Freeman. Max Munsey has
a lot more errors on throws Without Freddie Freeman. Tommy
Edmund spiked dirtball during the NLCS for that last out
(35:45):
is disastrous. So he's an amazing amazing player, the amazing
David Vasse.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Ladies and gentlemen, nobody does it better, have a safe
trip back to Canada day and have a great night
tonight covering the Dodgers, Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck Clubhouse,
Dodger Talk. It's all happening. Thank you Dave, and have

Speaker 1 (37:25):
We see all these complete games in the World Series
last night last night. Well, it's gonna carry over and
bring luck tonight. The one and only Oral Hrscheizer, Dodger
broadcaster from Spectrum Sportsnet Royalty in this town and beyond
in the world of baseball.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
A hero to us all.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Oral Hirscheizer, looking slim and trim and ready to go
taking pictures talking to Access Hollywood, joining us on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
What's cracking horror? How are you? Uh?
Speaker 7 (37:52):
First of all, the first pitch was yesterday and I'm
too old to go on.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
No day's rests. Oh, come on two days in a row.
You're out here at Hybrid as ever.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
We went seven innies against the Mets, and the next
night came in relief in the twelfth inning after gibe
and so shit their home runs.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (38:06):
I hope we have some of that pleasure and winning
vibe here tonight. These guys need to start hitting a
little bit. But I expect Blake Snell to be much
better because he doesn't have the long layoff. He's on
normal rest and he's been excited.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
To get the ball back in his hand.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
I mean, you know the ups and downs of a
World Series better than anybody, especially playing here and then
going back somewhere else. It was last night disappointing to you,
does it? Or do you expect this adversity? You know
the fans are having a tough time with it.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, show hey threw the ball outstanding.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
You wouldn't expect him to go much deeper than he did,
and all of a sudden you could see maybe there
was a little fatigue there in the sevenths when he
gives up a couple of hits and the bullpen just
didn't get it done with Blake and Wonda. They didn't
get it done. Now that doesn't mean they're not going
to get it done in the future. But this is
something that I know the fans would be frustrated about
because that has been a theme for the Dodgers and
when all of a sudden that theme pops up in
(38:57):
a World Series.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
But you know what they didn't get in grace from.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
What they did the night before, right, you know, so
a five hundred record in the bullpen, and if our
starters do well and if the offense wakes up a
little bit, I think we're gonna win this thing.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Let's talk about that night before because it's something you're
certainly familiar with. Yama Moto complete game in Game two
and then was staring, as David Vassi told us BBS
at Mark Pryor starting the tenth inning. What's a pitcher's
body going through? What is Yama Moto going through when
he goes down to that bullpen and he's ready to
come out for.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
The nineteen Everything that we did in the last generation
or two, these guys could do, they're just not expected
to do it and they don't train for it. So
when somebody steps out of the line of what's expected
and what they train for and says, I will do
that on one day's rest after a complete game. I
have a lot of respect for I think his complete
games are a lot harder than mine. I didn't have
a pitch clock. I didn't have to be as efficient,
(39:49):
because once you get to one hundred hundred and ten pitches,
they're thinking about you're out of there.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You know. I could get to one hundred and thirty
five and Tommy's gonna leave me in there.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
But there were many times when I go back and
watch the highlights, and when Skip was alive, I would
call him in the middle of the game watching and.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Goes, Skip, why didn't you take me out? I would
have taken myself out. He goes, Nope, trusted you. You're
going to be fine. And I'm talking to a guy
named Oral. But I don't know Oral.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
I only know Bulldog, and so to watch what he
is doing and as efficient he is, to watch o'tani
to watch Clayton in his prime and coming in with bases,
load into out.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
And getting through that part.
Speaker 7 (40:23):
I can live vicariously through their bodies in a lot
of these situations because it reminds me of things. You know,
even at the plate watching Miggy rowe get the bunt
down down that very tough pitch, but a perfect bunt.
I had to do that in my day, you know,
watching some of the guys hit with.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Runners in scoring position.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
I hope we start doing that a little bit more
because that's where the offense needs to wake up. I
think the disappointment of last night is the Ophers with
runners in scoring position, and I think throughout the whole
World Series, except for a few games in the playoffs early,
this team needs to start functioning at a high level
in those situations.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
I see the Rawlings logo on the sleeve, and that
tells us that that that's the real thing.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
So what is that?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
What are you wearing? When's the last time you put
it on? And tell us a little something about what
you got on here.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
Well, this is a thirty seven year old home white
Dodger jersey that is set to from the World Series
in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
I still fit in it.
Speaker 7 (41:15):
It's fully buttoned, it's a little tight around the midsection.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
It's good though, but yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
I have the same chest muscles, so some fat is
filling out the chests, and I don't think the arms
are quite as big, so the arms.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Feel a little loose.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
I think I can still get on top and sink
it a little bit. But yeah, this is a very
special jersey. And the first time I've had it on,
probably since nineteen eighty eight, was last night.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
To throw out the first pitch. I threw the first pitch.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Kersh was nice enough to come out and catch the
first pitch. I threw it in the dirt. I told
him it was a good mistake. I'm keeping the ball down.
He goes, you're making me work, and I said, yeah,
but it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You caught it. And he goes, yeah, and now we
have a scuff baseball. I'll go great.
Speaker 7 (41:53):
Came off the mound from that, and Steve Garvey Greedenby
shook my hands.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Had good job. I signed the ball.
Speaker 7 (41:59):
I gave it a even I think he's gonna use
it for a charity here see UNIFIL.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Now, you just mentioned Tommy Lesorne, and even before we
lost Tommy and Vin, you've been a great ambassador of
Dodger baseball and the Dodger brand and Dodger history. Marrying
with the present. But when you talk about the present oral.
I mean it's almost too I mean, we all talk
about eighty eight like it was yesterday. It wasn't, but
(42:23):
it's so indelible in our minds since then. It's like
drinking through a fire hose. The last few years, complete
game from Yamamoto, the Stuffotani's doing, Mookie Bett's playing shortstop,
all this stuff. How do you process all of these
different things that are happening every year? It seems that
put him into perspective, we're living in a golden age.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, we really are.
Speaker 7 (42:44):
Between the context and the content, we are looking at
a completely different time. Eighty eight was a surprise team,
a surprise win, a team that you know, Fred Claire
was kind of run out of town for not making
any moves, and all of a sudden, he gets Alfred Griffin,
you know, trades. Bobby Welch gets Kirk Gibson at Second
Lookers free agency, and it's like, okay, maybe they got
(43:06):
a shot. But we weren't expected to do anything until
after the All Star break we started winning. This team
has been doing it for ten years. I mean, and
our bar was we'd love to win a World Series.
Their bar is we have to win a World Series.
That's the expectation for these players. And I think Dave Roberts,
and Andrew Friedman and Stancaston and Mark Wallder, everybody has
(43:27):
really done an amazing job from the top, investing back
into the community and the team in the stadium and
redoing it, doing the locker room, bringing in the star
power players. I think there's great respect between the front office,
the management, the ownership and the fan base. And you know,
we spend the most money, but we bring.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
The most fans.
Speaker 7 (43:50):
You know, we have the most exposure, and we put
it back in the end of the team so that
you want to watch it. People are gonna say that
we're going to ruin baseball.
Speaker 8 (43:58):
I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (43:58):
I think we are the nucleus of baseball now right
there with the Yankees and the Mets and the other
big spenders. And you know what, these Toronto Blue Jays
on the other side, they're fifth in payroll. Okay, we
raise the bar for everybody, and I think that's nothing
better than that, because we're going to continue to recruit
players from around the world that want to play in
Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Last one for me oral just hearing you talk about it.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
It kind of pops. Something popped here. Do you see
the eighty eight Dodgers in these Blue Jays? You had
the A's coming in. They were smoking everyone they were
supposed to walk through. You guys, they sweep the Alcs
ever if I remember right right, and you guys go
the distance and you're just that gritty, get on base,
grind out pitchers kind of team. Is there some of
(44:42):
that with these Blue Jays that you see and just
kind of the context at which these two teams are
facing on.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
Men's sacriligious to say they're more talented, But I think
they're more talented than our team was. Our team was scrappy.
I would have put us more like the Milwaukee Brewers.
This team is more talented than Milwaukee. This team is
as talent as maybe Philadelphia. Maybe Philadelphia has a little
more star power. But this is a very tough team
to beat. And that's why we're at two two in
(45:07):
this series. As far as the relationship back to the
eighty eight team, that's a hard call because you know,
we lose Gibson. We got Mickey Hatcher out there hitting
home runs in the World Series, should have been the
co MVP. We got guys, you know, taking walks when
they should, putting ball and play when they should. Guys
that you know, we're good pictures, but they pitched above
their heads in the World.
Speaker 8 (45:27):
Series at times.
Speaker 7 (45:28):
So I would say that that's a tough, tough comparison
on the spot. You'd have to let me go back
and do some research, which I don't do homework anymore, so,
which I won't do. Yeah, me and Petros we're about
the same man. Yeah, we don't need to read.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
We just go right into the recesses of our copway.
I can't even read this stuff on the jumbo tront Oh,
my no, what's going on? You should change your glasses?
One and all.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Oral Herschheiser, he is our best living ambassador of Dodger
base group.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
Text group text with An Meyer, Laura lessorda, Don Drysdale
and m I who else?
Speaker 8 (46:05):
I'm I Irene, Kurt Gibson, Sandy Kofax.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
And it was like, look.
Speaker 7 (46:11):
Down at my Dodger family, and I thank them because
my name's been coming up during this World series. And
I thanked all the people in my Dodger family for
everything they contributed to me. Rick Honeycutt also and Dave Wallace,
the pitching coopl and I just it was a group text.
Speaker 8 (46:25):
I wrote about three paragraphs of thanking them because I.
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Wouldn't have been a Dodger, I wouldn't have been a
World Series hero or whatever I was.
Speaker 8 (46:32):
I went in a pitch in the big leagues as
long as I did.
Speaker 7 (46:34):
I went in a rehab from a reconstructive surgery without
doctor job and Pat Screener. This is a very special
life I've gotten to live. And just say that I'm
now the guy like Ben here or anybody else, or
Joe Davis or anybody.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
It's just for me.
Speaker 7 (46:48):
I am just an accumulation of a great, great Dodger
family that was around me.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Well, your cubility and your ability to convey it is
really what we enjoy. And God bless you orl thanks
for st and we know it's a busy time. I
was in the parking lot trying to get out when
you threw out that pitch.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
I'm sorry, that's okay, I appreciate it, and we have
a scuff ball somewhere.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
God bless you are all right.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Oil Herscheizer in the eighty eight Jersey looking rough and ready,
and we'll be right back with more petros and money.
Speaker 2 (47:16):

Speaker 1 (01:41):
You can't lose our minds like Tim Kats this morning
or Rodney against the callers.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Dumbest call I've ever heard. Coach coach.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
All right, this is a tweet from Magic Johnson. He's
a part owner of the Dodgers and the Commanders. One
of the great NBA players of all.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Time, one of the great tweeters of all time, keeps
tweeting like this. He will be Kidney look out passing.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
With the series being two and two, Game five is
very important. Whichever team wins takes control of the series.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Thank you, Craig.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You're right, Dogney, you especially somebody. I'm seventy LA Sports Live.
But now you can enjoy your chips. Craig has given
me an ode and I love it. Oh, he's pissed.
He doesn't like what you did. Listen he his loud
voice is really mean. The loud he didn't. I didn't
hear the loud voice.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I heard it from you. Oh for me? Yeah, what
are you doing? What are you're doing? Where's my going?
You ruined my moment? You have sent Craig. I can't
have that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Although this is our last day at Dodger Stadium unless
there is a parade, we are here for Game five.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Of the World Series. You know how important this game is.
Listen to Magic Man.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
With the series being two and two, Game five is
very important. Whichever team wins takes control of the series. Now,
I don't know who you want to blame as far
as listeners go, I'm sure Matt will let us know
who has to blame. Well, Craig is to blame for
the batching of the beginning of the show. You might
(03:19):
be to blame for upsetic Craig while he was eating
his chims.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
There's a lot of blame to go around in this suite.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
There's a lot of blame to go around everywhere a
lot of people want to blame the Gonsado Bats, A
lot of people want to blame Mookie Betts or Andy
Pajez specifically. Some want to blame Dave Roberts, who's being
interviewed on Kate's's Favorite show on the MLB Network.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's intentional talk. Intentional talk.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's the one going on right now. We are back
for the third day in a row at the same
time on a flex alert.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I thought we'd been kicked out by now. To be honest,
we have not.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
We are back from two to four, are at Dodger Stadium,
and there will be a game six on Friday from
two to four. We will be on, but we will
not be at Dodger Stadium, nor will we be in Canada.
It is the Petros and Money Show on a We
just won't be defeated Wednesday. And I don't know if
(04:19):
Ronnie's gotten queued up, but it feels like a must
win for Dodger fans, at least a pseudo must win.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Be Are we gonna play this prematurely?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Do you think, like I know you talk about being nonchalant,
I'm talking being an issue.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm talking about hope, hopeful music, I was nervous there
for Aus.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I know that. I thought you were talking about win
hopeful music at New No.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm not ready for Kwando. No, they won a World
Series last year, Argo today or something. So congratulations to
the Blue Jays on their inspiring victory and their inspiring
playing throughout the playoffs and specific last night at Dodger Stadium.
Justin Bieber's little brother stifling the Dodgers looks good mustache
(05:08):
with his pitching style. And I have my own blame
to go around. I blame Prince Harry and his ex
actress wife Megan Markle.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, that's some stink you bring into the Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
They were here last night, which is proper because whenever
we are here, Matt, whenever I turn around to use
the restroom or go anywhere, I run into Prince Harry,
pseudo Royal and or Megan Markle, and they love the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They're well, they've been here all year.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Their royal brand is synonymous with Dodger Baseball, and they
both last night had pristine Dodger hats on. And it
was inspiring to somebody. I don't know who, but it
must have inspired somebody, perhaps, the Blue Jays to beat,
you know, because the English monarchy is much more connect
(06:00):
did to Canada right there on the money, it's on
the money exactly than the Dodgers, and maybe they're going
to have Megan Markle on their money pretty soon. But
it did see that happening, but did not inspire the
Doyer Bats because the bats were movie Consado last night.
I mean Consado in a very Consado way. Now, also
(06:21):
here a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
People can point fingers at the bullpen that has been
a you know, the decision making by Dave Roberts. Who's
going to come in? When, who pitches the who? When
am I gonna lift this guy? Should I send show
Hay back out there?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I heard the stat this morning, Kate's what is it like,
thirty innings and they've scored three runs or something or
the problem fourteen innings.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Or since the seventh inning of Game three they have
scored two runs, free runs, three runs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know who also was here that didn't inspire the bats,
Matt Chebron Lames. That's right, AKA some people's goat aka
Lebron James. He was here with his lovely wife Savannah.
Now I always thought he was a Yankee fan or
a Cleveland Indians fan or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
He is I think, well, he's worn the Yankee hat.
He is the quintessential Cowboys, Yankees, North Carolina basketball.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's the fandom, right.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I like North Carolina basketball, I like Cowboy football, I
like Yankee baseball. That is truly what Lebron James was into.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And by the way, I'm here to desecrate the Laker
brand for a decade.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And then when people pushed back then he was just
a child at the time, he was eighteen years old.
But when people push back and we're like, wait a minute,
you're not into the Browns and you're not into the Indians,
he was like.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Whoa, I like the Indians.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
He shows up on Ohio State side and that's when
he claimed that he would have gone to Ohio State
if he were go which is an absolute crock of crap.
Were he to go to college and straight yeah and
go straight to the NBA, No, he would have gone
to North Carolina or Duke maybe Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Maybe Kentucky. How you like me? Now?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Not even Jabron Lames could inspire the Bats to not
be so heavy eyelighted and so consado. Now Fred and
Rodney and David vass and Kevin Figures is still up here,
so maybe he can correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
But all of those is he podcasting?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know what he's doing. All of those.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Fred Rodney and our own David Vassa who will join
us here in a little while, have blamed the fans
for the bats being consao. How does U scam blame
the players?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah? I think that morning probably a.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Better direction of game. Tim kats blamed the play. Well,
they can't hit, they're swinging for the fences. You can't win,
you know, I don't know what. You can't manufacture runs.
You can't score runs if you can't get on base
their risk. Yesterday people might ball. They were over with
runners in scoring position. They only had runners in scoring
position five times. I had five at bats. Did you
(08:56):
have a runner in scoring position? That speaks that it's
not just the lack of the home run. There's no
traffic on the basis, no traffic called Matt. Guys are
popping up repeatedly. We saw a very uh it's ugly, Matt,
it is, And you know what, I'll tell you what, guys,
I don't care how ugly. It is as long as
we can get the six or seven games. I feeling
(09:18):
pretty good about what this Dodger team's doing.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Did you guys see the grounds crew down here? They
were working on the grass down by the first base
coaching box. Hookie Betts has had so many pop ups
to Vlad Guerrero. There he's wearing a hole in the grass.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh, Kate, Oh you know what that is. That's a
clap your hands.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
How do you like me?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Bummern Betts popping out to the first base side bomber.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It was a bit of channeling of that guy this
morning on.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Scan Little Tim Kate's channel in that day from Cocaine Kates. Now,
Tim Kates has been working tirelessly twenty four to seven
all of the month of October. And it is Halloween
coming up on Friday. That means the month is over.
His time is coming to an end. But Tim Kates
is chewed up like a piece of juicy fruit. That's
it in somebody's mouth for like four hours. The taste,
(10:03):
the taste is gonna move you, and he's been moved
by the spirit.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Now, I don't know if the Dodgers are gonna win.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Matt I don't know if the bats are gonna wake
up from being consigno. I don't know if Mookie Betts
will remember his World Series heroics of yesteryear and hit
better and the three hole to night as opposed to
the two all.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I can't believe they did that to him humiliating.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't know, Matt, if Toronto will continue their gritty
ways and less Savage will confuse the Dodger Batsman like
he did in Game one. But what I do know,
Matt overall, if there was a winner this World Series
that we had to declare here before a pivotal Game five,
(10:44):
as Magic tells us.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The real winner is Strauss. Strauss Workware for great workers,
Strauss Powers.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
World Series coverage on a five seventy LA sports is
Strauss is making history as the first brand ever featured
on professional baseball helmets. We have a Strauss helmet in
our five seventy as a.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Strauss shirt downed by Tim Kats this morning on the
YouTube doing scam.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You were wearing it down on the field yesterday yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
It is family owned, it is trusted worldwise. They want
to climb on its back and race around India dot
Com now see, I thought you were going to say
the real winner of this Dodger postseason, because I think
it is indisputable.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Specials some money show.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We have attended every single game here at Dodger Stadium,
we have made our way down onto the field.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We have garnered what I think is a.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Friendly feelings from the amount of media folks that have
turned out. More as it is multiplied series by series,
I don't feel like we're getting the Kirk glances or
the eye rolls that we get during the regular season
or on opening Day. I think people recognize, Hey, we're
in LA this is an institution, our.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Home, our city, our home.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And look at all these fancy folks that are walking
over to talk to these guys. Here comes Tyler Glass.
Now everybody wants a piece of him, and he's talking
to these two Jimokes. Here comes Sean Green, No more
Garcia Para, not even on the mic, just hanging out
and chopping it up. I think it's been a hell
of a three weeks scam. Now, look, scam sets the
tone in the morning, right, scam sets the day.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And we all feed off of that, believe it. But
and there was a lot of anger from scam this morning.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
A lot of frustration from Tim Kaits a lot of
lamenting and a lot of screaming at the heavens, a
lot of eyuda.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
May. I think a lot of folks were hoping for
a weekend parade. I think the idea Friday parade, which
would have been interesting considering it would been Halloween.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But freaks come out now the parade. We're in a limbo.
We don't know if there's gonna be a parade. We
might have to go to BJ's on Monday and we
might have to cancel that. If there's a parade on Monday,
we don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
What we do know is it's going back to Canada.
Break out your passports, get ready to sit in customs,
queue up the or fire up the david Offs, and
get ready to get after it on Friday night and
perhaps even Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Unless you've taken a drag of a Davidoffs cigarette with
teenage loves, you have no idea what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It blow your lungs right out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
What we do know is this game five. We'll start
at five oh eight pm from the Gallpin Motors broadcast
booth that Tim Kates and Dodgers on Deck will begin
at four, and we can only control the controllables, and
our controllables are putting together a hell of a two
hour broadcast like we have the last two days. And
the last two days have been pretty freaking fun down there, yeah,
(13:39):
and having a good time.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
How the second we come on, you already start lobbying
for us to go down there.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Well, I do resent that.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I know that we're going down because of Dave, so
I know that David Vessey is joining us in the
next time. We have to go down.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Now we don't, and I totally resent it, but I
understand that it's been the pattern for the last three days.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I feel like it goes well when we're down there.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I just get caught up in the river and get
sucked into the wash and get sucked down there like
a toilet bowl.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Put your life jacking on. Let's go down there.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Fred and Rodney asked callers what their panic meter was
today and.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Basically come up with a panic thing for this show. Well,
we should figure out a way how to incorporate panics.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They did a bunch of calls on panic and I'm
not going to say that that got a little bit
underneath my skin as a Southern American. But I did
think that they kind of stole the panic Brother's thunder. Now,
we weren't going to take calls and ask what people's
level of panic was, but they yelled at the callers,
(14:35):
and that's what we were going to do. I was
going to take calls today and ask the people what
the panic meter was. And but we take so many
calls and I was going to yell and berate the callers.
And now I don't have that option. What am I
going to do? What should I do now that it's
already been done.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was having a conversation with the greatest promotions person
in the history of radio, Dave we'e.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Dave wee'ze when uh, Dave We's finally getting the credit
he deserves.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
This year exactly, He's deserved it for decades. But when
Rodney was laying into that the.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Credit, my man, I took it. I'm talking it.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I ran it across the ind zone and I stocked
it like George Kittle.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
When Rodney was getting into the color, I thought he
was yelling at Fred and it was kind of like
one of those whenever And now I was on the
other side of it, right when all the people just
like you yelled at poor Craig. Well, but you know
that's an ironic But.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Look at Craig.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
He didn't feel like it was ironic. Creig, he's got
more mouth, there's a tight seam. He's like, oh, his
bra was furrowed.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But uh when he was yelling, and I was like, oh,
this is must this must be what it felt like
when Don Martin was screaming at the two of us
and there were other people in the suite and they
were uncomfortable with workplace anger and workplace vitriol because I
thought Rodney was screaming at Fred for blaming Dave rod I.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Hope you guys are enjoying your success. I patted it in.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I patted it in for this year, so you enjoy
that success.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It me.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'm patted it in, thank you, boss, So we appreciate.
I guess's gonna go down there in the next segment
and talk to David Vase. Obviously, no player interviews today,
as people are as tight as Craig, a little trepidacious.
Although the series is tied and tonight is a whole
horse of a different color.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
The thing is though Pe And we say this every year.
You know, people want things to be easy. You go
back to last year's World Series, and what do we
talk about. We talk about being down two to one
of the Padres. This year we talked about the Phillies
being the World Series and those two nail bitiers against
those lefties in Philadelphia. Like the Brewers Series, outside of
(16:44):
the incredible performance by Altani in Game four, isn't even.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Mentioned like this is what you want.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You need some adversity, you need some buttholes to be clenched,
You need to freak out a little bit for it
to be memorable. We barely talk about the Yankee Series
except for the one game that they were up big
and Judge booted that ball, and that's really the extent
of what we talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
They won one and then Judge booted that ball in
Game five and the Dodgers ended up winning it all.
But this is a fan base that expects victory. This
is a fan base that wanted a coronation last night. Otherwise,
why would King James be here, Why would Prince Harry
be here?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Is Lebron or is he our Drake?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Are we at that level yet where he is the
When he walks in, everyone's like, oh no.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I mean he's close.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But when you got Megan Markle and Prince Harry sitting
in the front row with two pristine Dodger hats on
like they've been here all year, rolling down from Santa
Barbara and high fiving all the Gordo's and the Sussios
and the pavilion.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
When you have that, you think the helicopter dom No,
you think they take you think they car it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I don't know I helicopter. I could not downtown Ola
then take a car set I'm thinking I have, I
could not even venture to gain.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
But I know that it was all orchestrated by their
pr and they made sure that the Fox broadcast was
going to have a shot of them as the lead
celebrities in the very first celebrity moment of showing the
stars in the crowd. And when I saw that, I thought, Wow,
that's not good. And I usually don't do that. I'm
(18:22):
usually not like, oh, there's Drake in his Kentucky uniform.
They're gonna lose. I'm not like that. But Prince Harry
and Megan Markle, that's a bad look. They could be
the most toxic brand on the West Coast, second Jabron
Lames and his son Browny. So I was when I
saw that, I was a little bit disheartened as to
how things weren't going to go. But I don't know
(18:44):
if blaming the fans for not having much to cheer
about throughout the game is really the way to go. Yeah,
I mean the fans stand up and get cracking when
the bats wake up.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, players couldn't get hit.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The bats were casado and pop ups don't make people excited.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
The thing also about the celebrities last night, and it
was appropriate that it was Lebron. Now, granted he couldn't
have come the night before because the Lakers were playing Portland.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But well he's so busy at that game drinking wine
and wearing his fashionable clothing.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
But in the case of like Harry and Megan Markle,
they could have come on Monday, they didn't. They saw
it became the event in Los Angeles, the baseball event
of the year, and they were like, here ourselves, we
got to get in on this. Let me get down
like we're part of something right, Like, you know, Monday,
it's the Rob Low, Jason Bateman, Magic Johnson, couple of
(19:36):
the Chargers were out because they played on Thursday the Regulars,
but then last night seemed to be the parade of
the and I'm using the air quotes a listers. Oh
we missed out. We missed out on Monday. We got
to get out there on Tuesday. And that put a
cast to Paul and put a stank.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Inside Dodger State.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You guys missed.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Brad Pitt was here last night. I Brad Pitt. He's
sitting next to Flea. It was just like, Oh, there's
some guy named Brett that's bred freaking pitch.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I got a text from Captain Chapass in Hawaii, one
of our favorite listeners who's been listening a long time.
He's no longer a captain, he is Lieutenant Colonel Chapass
and I got a text that says, ola pee, Lieutenant
Colonel Chapass here and he hopes of getting Geddy Lee
as a guest on today. He was here last night
supporting awesome the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
And we support him supporting well.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I didn't want to be kurt or dishonest, but I
just said, no, there's no chance of us getting Geddy Leon.
I just don't see it happening, and he sent back
a disappointed face.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I mean, we did have Robby Kreeger on at Dodger Stadium,
so we have had musical legends from the past.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It didn't go well either.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You asked him about Grenavon Fleet and said that they sucked,
and then he came back and said he loved that band.
And there was really nowhere to go from here. It
was right there, old.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It was right above the Boston Red Sox Bullpen during
the World Series in right field, and I do say
it was warming up in the Bully and he had.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Something to promote. I don't know if Geddy Lee has
anything to promote. But we are here. We are ready
for Game five. If you didn't know, it's a pivotal game.
And if you didn't know, Game five is the game
that's gonna tell the tale as to who controls the
series and if you don't believe.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Who says that Magic Johnson.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Look where Megan Markle and the Prince were sitting last night.
There looks like there's name tags on the seats for
tonight's game. So I wonder if we get a little
sneak preview where down there as far as who's gonna
be sitting.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
In front row?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Right in the front there, Yeah, that's where they were sitting.
So I wonder we're able to see who's gonna be
there tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Well maybe it'll be William and Kate. Wow, you know
they caught half that. That's us. They fly out here
to try to get some shine. That'd be something, It's sure,
what Matt, it would be a story. And we'll be
back from Dodger Stadium. We'll talk to David Vasse, our
Dodger insider.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Who's got a lot to say, and who else knows
what could happen down.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
There or Herscheiz were standing right there, weren't his own jersey.
It is a.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Moral You don't think he's going to join us. We're
going down for at least two let's go maybe three.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Kidding me, you know what, because you said that, I'm
not going all right? No, no, no, you took it
too far. I'm not kidding. You took it too far
right there, you just took it way too far.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I was gonna go, But now you have a couple
of shooters.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, you come back here a different lady. We'll be
right back. I trust somebody on a F five seventy
l A Sports Pivotal Game five.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with

That trists and money.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
They have five seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the

As we're going until four o'clock. That'll be Dodgers on deck.
First pitch just after five Blake Snell Game five starter.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
We now know it's going six.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yoshiyamamoto will get another start, but certainly excited about these
next two dudes that'll be taking them mound and throwing
out the first pitch for the Dodgers coming off a
loss last night.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Did he come down? I'm here joining us right now.
Is he always late on your.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It's very popular people stop him on.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline brought to you
by Service Titan dot Com.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Brought to you by Strauss.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's our Dodger Insider David rest Hell of.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Western USC in a Weekum, Hayman's gonna be out of town.
That's unfortunate. It's gonna be away there at the College.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'll be in Orlando. But it's a Fox game.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
The one and only David Vasse hour Dodger insider inside
the Dodgers like a spleen. He knows exactly what's going on.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I know what upsets them last night? Was disappointed? What
is that guy? A fan?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And Dave you once again went after the fans, speaking
of fans that the fans were consado last night along
with the Bats.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
It felt like five o'clock was not first pitch. It
was Ciesta time at Dodger Stadium. And I hope Dodger
fans that are coming tonight, that have spent their hard
earned money are going to show up and be loud
like they were during the twenty seventeen World Series the
twenty eighteen World Series. This is a must win game
(24:45):
for the Dodgers. They cannot go down three games to
two with the Blue Jays going back to Canada with
an opportunity to win just one of those two games.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Why didn't they make the.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Move with the lineup the way they did today yesterday
you suggested on this air.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I actually believe they should have made this change in
game two, and I'm not one hundred percent satisfied with
this lineup change. I feel like Miguel Rojas should have
been at second base. And after we saw Tommy Edmond
play six extra innings in center field, that told me
his right ankle is good enough. But obviously Dave Roberts
(25:22):
has more information. He's not sold on that.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They're trying to.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Keep Tommy Edmund available for the last three games of
this World Series. So that's the reason why Edmund's at
second base, Key Kays and center and Alex call instead
of Andy Pajes is hitting ninth. So at least that's
a good change. And also I brought this up on
Rogan and Rodney what Mookie Betts. I'm sorry, Mookie Betts
(25:46):
three for nineteen in the World Series. I don't know
how you can continue to have him hitting second behind Otani,
and the Dodgers felt the same way. Will Smith, who
is having the best at bats this side of Otani,
is hitting behind Otani, which gives him a lot more protection.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Dave, you mentioned the fans when you hopped on first,
just kind of going back to that there haven't been
there hasn't been traffic. It seems like there hasn't been
that big hit. There hasn't been the big inning. Like
to me, I get it, you want the fans to
be a little bit more excited, but it's they're not
stringing any hits together this World Series.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
It seems like that's and I would assume we talked.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
About this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It's like a philosophy thing, like can we get some
traffic on the base, Can you string some things together?
It feels like it's either donn or over the fence
or there's really not a lot going on out there.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Freddy Freeman was in the press conference at one o'clock
and he said the same thing. We can't just be
out there trying to hit home runs. We have to
string hits together. And I actually talked to Freddy after
the press conference and he told me how you feeling?
I said, it's not important how I feel. How do
you feel today? He said, I feel real good. And
the Dodgers feel really optimistic that they're going to get
(26:50):
this win today. They're optimistic. Blake Snell is going to
be more like Blake Snell. I know Blake told me
that a couple of days ago, and the Dodger offense
with this tweaks, I wouldn't say it's a shake up,
but it's some tweaks. Tweaks that can change the dynamic
of the cohesion of one unit can possibly payoff dividends today.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
How much do you think the decision to go with
call instead you've been sort of pushing for Miguel Rojas,
the veteran presient of play second Edmund to go to center.
How much of it is the bat of call versus
Tommy Edmund in center with the ankle, Like, what do
you think went into to that being the decision pardon
upon the call versus Miguel Rojas and Edmund and center.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Yeah, Like I mentioned, Dave Roberts doesn't feel one hundred
percent sold that Edmund's right ankle can hold up and
he could be as good of a center fielder out
there as Key k or Andy Pah has And I
can't argue with that. I don't know if he's lost
a half a step or not, but I'm okay with
this key k Can played center field on the way
(27:51):
to the World Series last year.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Something needed to be tweaked.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Andy pa Has couldn't continue to be in this starting
lineup considering his struggles not only in the World Series
but in the postseason. And I do like Mookie Beds
being dropped. I mean, you can't drop them to the
sixth spot in the lineup where you would lose them for.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
The entire rest of the series.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
But I have somebody that was close to Mookie Bets
in Boston tell me that Mookie's mind is in a
great spot today and he expects a big.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Game five from Marcus Lynn Betts.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
The one and only David Vassay is our gast, He's
our Dodger insider on AM I seventy LA Sports. We're
down here on the field in front of the dugout
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It is truly a scene.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Dave, are we not giving the Toronto Blue Jays enough credit?
Or how much credit do the Blue Jays deserve? They
seem like a scrappy bunch.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
They're a scrappy bunch, And it sounded like Dave Roberts
was a little envious of their offensive approach after the
game last night, where they just basically play pepper when
it's called for, and they do not go down easy.
They foul pitches off, they make you work. And I
thought the Dodgers played into Shane Bieber's hands last night
since second one out, they had a great opportunity at
(29:03):
a time when the score was two to one, and the.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Dodgers missed it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
I thought that was a perfect example of just what
Freddie Freeman and Dave Roberts have been talking about. Too
many big swings, trying to do too much in those situations.
And the Dodgers' offense has only scored three runs in
the last twenty innings. That's got to change. The Dodgers
have to score early today to get Blake Snell an
early lead, and that would get this crowd involved and
(29:29):
that would change the tone of it. And when I
say score early, I'm not talking about one run. I'm
talking about.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Cricket runs at least has been Is that in their
DNA day Like I mean, you've obviously you've been with
them all one hundred and sixty two games. Is this
a team that routine lee has scored early? Let teams
know you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Blake.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Snell's on the mound and we're already up three or
four to nothing, and it's the third inning they have.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But this is the World Series.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
In the postseason, it's hard to put up five or
six numbers, five or six runs against starting pitchers in
the world scene. The Blue Jays did it against Bonda
and trying in and that's another issue as well. A
lot of these relievers that are coming in in place
of Alex Vesia are not stranding inherited runners.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Those runners are scoring, and.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
When you're a relief pitcher, you can't always have the
ideal situation of starting a clean inning. When there's runners
at first and second, you've got to get out of
that jam.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What is the likelihood we see Blake trying and pitching
again this year for the Dodgers. It wouldn't have to
be like another eighteen inning game, because certainly, I think
he's paced seven hitters and given up five hits, which
isn't good.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I would find it hard to believe for him to
pitch in a high leverage situation again, Petros, I just
don't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I really don't.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
I just I feel like Dave Roberts has better options
at his disposal.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Who are Dave?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Who do you think the high leverage pitchers are for tonight?
Outside of Sasaki?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
The ideal situation is for Blake's noew to go seven
and hand the ball to Sasaki for his six out safe.
I mean, he hasn't pitched hardly at all in this
World series, so that would be the perfect. If it's not, then, uh,
you know Edgardo Enriquez was really impressive in extra innings.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I would say he would be the right handed guy
I would go to.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I could relate with this because I heard it in
Steven Nelson's voice last night.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I heard it in Joe Davis's voice last night. Madness.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I know, yeah, because I know he lives in southern
California and you guys are here and you had a
good chance to maybe not have to go back to Canada.
But did you feel like you were punched in the
d when you knew that you had to go back
to Canada?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Think about this a family man like yourselves. No Halloween,
Dad will not be at Halloween this year.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
That's what I'm saying. I mean a lot of sad.
Did you feel?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Yeah, my mom just had heart Ablasian procedure. Yeah, she's
doing good now. My brother John came from Boston to
be with her for.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The last couple of days. That's good to see John. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
So on the personal note, Joe Davis won't be home
handing out candy in his palatial estate.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
He just hands out burn hands.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
He hands up burn hands. Yes, from Jove's bar.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
But seriously, some Dellys would be able to give out candy.
And Irvine, Irvine's gonna go starving.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's Halloween. It's gonna be rough. But but that can't
be easy for the Dodgers or everybody else to swallow.
But I guess it's the nature of the beast here. Yeah,
that's how it is.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I mean, baseball extends the postseason now all the way
through October, so I mean that's the reality of it.
You don't want to have to go back to Canada.
But this is not a question for right now. But
I felt like at the beginning of this World Series,
not enough of Petro some money talking about the fact
that if the Dodgers would have won just one game
(32:38):
against the Angels, or Tanner, Scott and Curbyates would have
blown one less save the Dodgers would have had home
field advantage and would only have had to go to
Canada once instead of having to go twice. Now they
made their bed. They're gonna have to find a way
to win today. And my vision is win today and
Yamamoto pitch another gem in Game six and is the
(33:02):
World Series MV love it?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
What about? Do you think we see Otani again? I mean, yeah,
you're gonna seem lead off tonight. Ah, there go a
blessing guy.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Now that would obviously fly in the face of your
complete game from Yamamoto, but it seems like that's someone
after the seventh inning, and I was surprised they sent
him back out there for the seventh It's ninety pitches.
The guy was on base nine times the night before.
Did that surprise you? Number one and two? He seems
like the kind of guy that's like, hey, man, give
me an inning. Let me get one more inning to
go out there and end this thing the right way
(33:32):
on the mountain.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Hey, Dave Roberts said it today, All hands on deck.
If there's a Game seven, and yeah, Otani would be
available to pitch. But in that scenario, wouldn't Otani have
to open. Oh, he would have to open a game seven.
I'm not sure you want Tyler glassnow starting game seven.
I'd rather have if all hands are on deck, I'd
rather have Glass now coming out of the bullpen in
(33:53):
a game seven and Otani opening the first couple of innings.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
We talked about Mookie bats, David Vasse saying that he
heard that he's in a great headspace today.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Freddie Freeman told him himself that he did not.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Tell me that. Freddie did not tell me about that.
Freddie Freeman told you himself he was there. We go,
so you got you can let me finish. I'd get
it out now.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
People are upset around here, a lot of anger now
overall that I.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Can't be seen around Kates. Do we get twenty feet
from him? Please?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Do you get the impression that the Dodgers are depending
too much on Otani, that at the team is waiting
around for Otani to do something to save them.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
That's what Freddy said as well. It can't just be
all Otani. And I just feel like there was some
sort of realization that everybody can't be Otani. You're not
going to hit it over the pavilion. He's the guy
you got to support him get on base. And look
last year's postseason, so many padres told me it was
(34:54):
so much easier to face Otani with nobody on base.
But once the bottom of the Dodgers got on base
and turned that lineup over, it was really hard to
pitch to him.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And we just haven't seen that.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
So far, and that was part of the reason why
Dave Roberts decided he had to make a change.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Defensively, Dave happy with the way the Dodgers have been playing.
Seems like it's every game there's a boot, there's a
dirt ball speaking of Like, I both Tony saving him
to play. It feels like Freddy saved about nine hundred
throws at first base in this series.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Hey, that's one thing Tim Kates has been on all
over the season. Freddie Freeman the most underappreciated defensive first
baseman in baseball. Without Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts is not
a Gold Glove candidate Without Freddie Freeman. Max Munsey has
a lot more errors on throws Without Freddie Freeman. Tommy
Edmund spiked dirtball during the NLCS for that last out
(35:45):
is disastrous. So he's an amazing amazing player, the amazing
David Vasse.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Ladies and gentlemen, nobody does it better, have a safe
trip back to Canada day and have a great night
tonight covering the Dodgers, Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck Clubhouse,

bring luck tonight. The one and only Oral Hrscheizer, Dodger
broadcaster from Spectrum Sportsnet Royalty in this town and beyond

Speaker 2 (37:40):
A hero to us all.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Oral Hirscheizer, looking slim and trim and ready to go
taking pictures talking to Access Hollywood, joining us on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
What's cracking horror? How are you? Uh?
Speaker 7 (37:52):
First of all, the first pitch was yesterday and I'm
too old to go on.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
No day's rests. Oh, come on two days in a row.
You're out here at Hybrid as ever.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
We went seven innies against the Mets, and the next
night came in relief in the twelfth inning after gibe
and so shit their home runs.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (38:06):
I hope we have some of that pleasure and winning
vibe here tonight. These guys need to start hitting a
little bit. But I expect Blake Snell to be much
better because he doesn't have the long layoff. He's on
normal rest and he's been excited.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
To get the ball back in his hand.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
I mean, you know the ups and downs of a
World Series better than anybody, especially playing here and then
going back somewhere else. It was last night disappointing to you,
does it? Or do you expect this adversity? You know
the fans are having a tough time with it.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, show hey threw the ball outstanding.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
You wouldn't expect him to go much deeper than he did,
and all of a sudden you could see maybe there
was a little fatigue there in the sevenths when he
gives up a couple of hits and the bullpen just
didn't get it done with Blake and Wonda. They didn't
get it done. Now that doesn't mean they're not going
to get it done in the future. But this is
something that I know the fans would be frustrated about
because that has been a theme for the Dodgers and
when all of a sudden that theme pops up in
(38:57):
a World Series.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
But you know what they didn't get in grace from.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
What they did the night before, right, you know, so
a five hundred record in the bullpen, and if our
starters do well and if the offense wakes up a
little bit, I think we're gonna win this thing.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Let's talk about that night before because it's something you're
certainly familiar with. Yama Moto complete game in Game two
and then was staring, as David Vassi told us BBS
at Mark Pryor starting the tenth inning. What's a pitcher's
body going through? What is Yama Moto going through when
he goes down to that bullpen and he's ready to
come out for.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
The nineteen Everything that we did in the last generation
or two, these guys could do, they're just not expected
to do it and they don't train for it. So
when somebody steps out of the line of what's expected
and what they train for and says, I will do
that on one day's rest after a complete game. I
have a lot of respect for I think his complete
games are a lot harder than mine. I didn't have
a pitch clock. I didn't have to be as efficient,
(39:49):
because once you get to one hundred hundred and ten pitches,
they're thinking about you're out of there.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You know. I could get to one hundred and thirty
five and Tommy's gonna leave me in there.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
But there were many times when I go back and
watch the highlights, and when Skip was alive, I would
call him in the middle of the game watching and.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Goes, Skip, why didn't you take me out? I would
have taken myself out. He goes, Nope, trusted you. You're
going to be fine. And I'm talking to a guy
named Oral. But I don't know Oral.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
I only know Bulldog, and so to watch what he
is doing and as efficient he is, to watch o'tani
to watch Clayton in his prime and coming in with bases,
load into out.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
And getting through that part.
Speaker 7 (40:23):
I can live vicariously through their bodies in a lot
of these situations because it reminds me of things. You know,
even at the plate watching Miggy rowe get the bunt
down down that very tough pitch, but a perfect bunt.
I had to do that in my day, you know,
watching some of the guys hit with.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Runners in scoring position.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
I hope we start doing that a little bit more
because that's where the offense needs to wake up. I
think the disappointment of last night is the Ophers with
runners in scoring position, and I think throughout the whole
World Series, except for a few games in the playoffs early,
this team needs to start functioning at a high level
in those situations.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
I see the Rawlings logo on the sleeve, and that
tells us that that that's the real thing.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
So what is that?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
What are you wearing? When's the last time you put
it on? And tell us a little something about what
you got on here.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
Well, this is a thirty seven year old home white
Dodger jersey that is set to from the World Series
in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
I still fit in it.
Speaker 7 (41:15):
It's fully buttoned, it's a little tight around the midsection.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
It's good though, but yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
I have the same chest muscles, so some fat is
filling out the chests, and I don't think the arms
are quite as big, so the arms.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Feel a little loose.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
I think I can still get on top and sink
it a little bit. But yeah, this is a very
special jersey. And the first time I've had it on,
probably since nineteen eighty eight, was last night.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
To throw out the first pitch. I threw the first pitch.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Kersh was nice enough to come out and catch the
first pitch. I threw it in the dirt. I told
him it was a good mistake. I'm keeping the ball down.
He goes, you're making me work, and I said, yeah,
but it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You caught it. And he goes, yeah, and now we
have a scuff baseball. I'll go great.
Speaker 7 (41:53):
Came off the mound from that, and Steve Garvey Greedenby
shook my hands.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Had good job. I signed the ball.
Speaker 7 (41:59):
I gave it a even I think he's gonna use
it for a charity here see UNIFIL.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Now, you just mentioned Tommy Lesorne, and even before we
lost Tommy and Vin, you've been a great ambassador of
Dodger baseball and the Dodger brand and Dodger history. Marrying
with the present. But when you talk about the present oral.
I mean it's almost too I mean, we all talk
about eighty eight like it was yesterday. It wasn't, but
(42:23):
it's so indelible in our minds since then. It's like
drinking through a fire hose. The last few years, complete
game from Yamamoto, the Stuffotani's doing, Mookie Bett's playing shortstop,
all this stuff. How do you process all of these
different things that are happening every year? It seems that
put him into perspective, we're living in a golden age.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, we really are.
Speaker 7 (42:44):
Between the context and the content, we are looking at
a completely different time. Eighty eight was a surprise team,
a surprise win, a team that you know, Fred Claire
was kind of run out of town for not making
any moves, and all of a sudden, he gets Alfred Griffin,
you know, trades. Bobby Welch gets Kirk Gibson at Second
Lookers free agency, and it's like, okay, maybe they got
(43:06):
a shot. But we weren't expected to do anything until
after the All Star break we started winning. This team
has been doing it for ten years. I mean, and
our bar was we'd love to win a World Series.
Their bar is we have to win a World Series.
That's the expectation for these players. And I think Dave Roberts,
and Andrew Friedman and Stancaston and Mark Wallder, everybody has
(43:27):
really done an amazing job from the top, investing back
into the community and the team in the stadium and
redoing it, doing the locker room, bringing in the star
power players. I think there's great respect between the front office,
the management, the ownership and the fan base. And you know,
we spend the most money, but we bring.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
The most fans.
Speaker 7 (43:50):
You know, we have the most exposure, and we put
it back in the end of the team so that
you want to watch it. People are gonna say that
we're going to ruin baseball.
Speaker 8 (43:58):
I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (43:58):
I think we are the nucleus of baseball now right
there with the Yankees and the Mets and the other
big spenders. And you know what, these Toronto Blue Jays
on the other side, they're fifth in payroll. Okay, we
raise the bar for everybody, and I think that's nothing
better than that, because we're going to continue to recruit
players from around the world that want to play in
Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Last one for me oral just hearing you talk about it.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
It kind of pops. Something popped here. Do you see
the eighty eight Dodgers in these Blue Jays? You had
the A's coming in. They were smoking everyone they were
supposed to walk through. You guys, they sweep the Alcs
ever if I remember right right, and you guys go
the distance and you're just that gritty, get on base,
grind out pitchers kind of team. Is there some of
(44:42):
that with these Blue Jays that you see and just
kind of the context at which these two teams are
facing on.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
Men's sacriligious to say they're more talented, But I think
they're more talented than our team was. Our team was scrappy.
I would have put us more like the Milwaukee Brewers.
This team is more talented than Milwaukee. This team is
as talent as maybe Philadelphia. Maybe Philadelphia has a little
more star power. But this is a very tough team
to beat. And that's why we're at two two in
(45:07):
this series. As far as the relationship back to the
eighty eight team, that's a hard call because you know,
we lose Gibson. We got Mickey Hatcher out there hitting
home runs in the World Series, should have been the
co MVP. We got guys, you know, taking walks when
they should, putting ball and play when they should. Guys
that you know, we're good pictures, but they pitched above
their heads in the World.
Speaker 8 (45:27):
Series at times.
Speaker 7 (45:28):
So I would say that that's a tough, tough comparison
on the spot. You'd have to let me go back
and do some research, which I don't do homework anymore, so,
which I won't do. Yeah, me and Petros we're about
the same man. Yeah, we don't need to read.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
We just go right into the recesses of our copway.
I can't even read this stuff on the jumbo tront Oh,
my no, what's going on? You should change your glasses?
One and all.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Oral Herschheiser, he is our best living ambassador of Dodger
base group.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
Text group text with An Meyer, Laura lessorda, Don Drysdale
and m I who else?
Speaker 8 (46:05):
I'm I Irene, Kurt Gibson, Sandy Kofax.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
And it was like, look.
Speaker 7 (46:11):
Down at my Dodger family, and I thank them because
my name's been coming up during this World series. And
I thanked all the people in my Dodger family for
everything they contributed to me. Rick Honeycutt also and Dave Wallace,
the pitching coopl and I just it was a group text.
Speaker 8 (46:25):
I wrote about three paragraphs of thanking them because I.
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Wouldn't have been a Dodger, I wouldn't have been a
World Series hero or whatever I was.
Speaker 8 (46:32):
I went in a pitch in the big leagues as
long as I did.
Speaker 7 (46:34):
I went in a rehab from a reconstructive surgery without
doctor job and Pat Screener. This is a very special
life I've gotten to live. And just say that I'm
now the guy like Ben here or anybody else, or
Joe Davis or anybody.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
It's just for me.
Speaker 7 (46:48):
I am just an accumulation of a great, great Dodger
family that was around me.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Well, your cubility and your ability to convey it is
really what we enjoy. And God bless you orl thanks
for st and we know it's a busy time. I
was in the parking lot trying to get out when
you threw out that pitch.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
I'm sorry, that's okay, I appreciate it, and we have
a scuff ball somewhere.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
God bless you are all right.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Oil Herscheizer in the eighty eight Jersey looking rough and ready,
and we'll be right back with more petros and money.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
We're gonna head back upstairs on five seventy LA. Sure.
Speaker 4 (47:19):
I think I saw someone walking around over there.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
That makes sure.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Sure,
