(00:32):
on this I'm a Horse Monday. We have a very
special Alma Horse Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I'm gonna gallop forward into a great week and great
sports talk All Star Week. A little bit of a
wonky schedule, like Matt said, and I'll be out a
couple of.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Days, but you can always check in with me. Matt.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You know how much I love Las Vegas, and I'm
headed to Las Vegas for the last gasp of the
Mountain West, last gasp.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I like to think the seeds of development are being
planted and the Mountain West will be unrecognizable five years
from now.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well two years ago in Las Vegas, I was at
perhaps the most depressing but star studded dinner that I
had ever been at, and the bowels of Allegiant Stadium
in Las Vegas with Chip Kelly, then the coach at UCLA,
Kyle Whittingham.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
It was the last of the PAC twelve, the last.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Supper for the PAC twelve and everybody knows who judas
was UCLA and USC and they were sitting right there
and at that time Washington, Washington and Oregon had not
joined yet. Landing sitting there and it was something else.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You had all your friends at the Mountain West waiting
for you at Circle.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Like I did. Get back on the bus, take you
back on the bus to the Mountain West.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Those friends aren't going to be in that house much longer.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
There is no PAC twelve media day this year. Last
year they tried to have like a special little thing
in Vegas. Didn't go well in Oregon State and well
now they hate each other. Like last year, the PAC
twelve kind of jumped on what Mountain West was doing
because they had a deal with and by the end
of the season they were sa suing each other. Yeah,
(02:16):
so their teams, right, you stole all our guy. We
let you in our house and you after our wife.
So you he's still Boise State. That's our crown jewel.
So I'll be headed out to Vegas to do that.
But the Big twelve thing, which was in Vegas last year,
is actually in Dallas or Frisco, Texas this year, and
(02:36):
it was last week and right now the SEC media
day is going on. But for all that perspective on
our favorite city, Las Vegas in the summer, Matt and
I are no stranger to Vegas in the summer. We'll
have that guy.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We're gonna have fans, and they're gonna have misters, and
they're gonna put you under a shade. Yeah, but you
said we're on the street. Might understand correctly that we're
broad casting from a street in Vegas in August.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Not only did Matt and I broadcast from the street
in Vegas in August, We've done it multiple years.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
They love you, the non fine irishman guys. They love
you New York. New York loves you. Ed Chef Tail
set it up so depressed. He's got it all squared away.
Are we staying there? No, I've actually got you staying
at one of the palace stations about ten miles away.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
To be honest, you're coming right back after the show.
I mean, you're not even gonna be there for the
whole day. You're flying in You're flying. That's basically what
I'm doing to Vegas. But I'm gonna drive Matt so
I'll be available. But it's also Modello Beach a lot
of Monday. It's not a real meat if it's not
made with a Modello. That's a reward for those.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
With a fighting spirit. We have a heavy heart.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
One of our Mike Alana friends is not renewed at Fox,
and that's a shame. She has the mark on a fighter.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Though always has.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Had a MI that was tasty.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Make sure you check out Instagram live yes during the
Ben Casparius inside the Locker Room, which we're doing in
the very next hour, which was brought to you by Modello,
and I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's Ben's coming to see us for a full hour
not enough live studio audience.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
That we had Joe Kelly on last Friday at one
of the great remotes we've ever done at September's tap
Room and EATERIY that's true in Rancho Cucamonga, but Modella
was back. They helped us with that and now they're
helping us with this. We have another very special guest
today inside the locker room for one.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Hour, in an hour, and that person is Ben Casparius.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I was worried in the tenth innning last night that
he was going to get his boob scooped and it
was going to be a very awkward interview with the
rookie during the All Star break.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Instead, he came through with flying color. Indeed, and the
Dodgers get a five to two win, they win the series.
They go into the All Star break on a bit
of a high note courtesy of Casparius. Of Casparius who
will be inside the locker room with us, and that
will be not filmed but broadcast in front of a
live studio audience, like an episode of One Day at
a Time, and we expect that audience to be encouraging.
(05:11):
I figured out who the audience is. I think it's
all I hurt people.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, it's all salespeople. Yeah, because they didn't sell the
summer tour like they were supposed to. So now we're
going to show them what we can do again. And
it's up to us, Matt, show them what you got.
It's up to us to put our stocking on and
run our leg out into the gutter, which we are.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Excellent at So that's why I wore this shirt. That
very good shirt says, hey, it does go sell some stuff.
This is a nice Travis Matthew polo. Go sell.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It shows that you're serious about sales.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's right, serious about this, guys, and we're in a
polo today.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The inside the locker room have been Consparius, not only
brought to you by Modelo, but also brought to you
by Morocco Casino Resort and Spot. So that'll bring twenty
years of good times. And it looks like everybody was
fed by our friends at the Doghouse. Delicious game Change,

Fully fully functional employee Adam is in.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Katie is in for Ronnie for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Baseball All Star Game is It's arrived, so Ronnie needs
to take the you know opportunity. This window here.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well, the thing is, Ronnie never tells us what he
has time off. So well, last night, you know, I
sent Ronnie a few songs and he goes, hey, note.
I was like, okay, you know, eleven o'clock at night. Okay,
So Katie is in and we're happy to have her
for the next.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Couple of days.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Party.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, that's what's in.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Is what's in.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But as far as our show goes, we have Ben
Casparius inside the locker room with all those sponsors we
just talked about, and Andy Wise, the head coach of
Corona High School, the Unthinkable, Matt Seth Hernandez, Billy Carlson
the shortstop, and Brady Ebel, a guy that we've had
on the show a couple of times, all drafted high
(07:31):
school kids, all drafted in the first round from coach
Andy Wise's team. Andy Wise the head coach at Corona
High School, not Corona Centennial like our friend Matt Logan.
But if there was a mount rushmore of great Inland
Empire coaches, two of them would be Andy Wise from
Corona Baseball and our friend Matt Logan from Corona Centennial.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And he's going to join us in the.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Five o'clock hour to talk to us about this remarkablehigh
school baseball team.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yes, Seth, you mentioned goes six overall he was in conversations.
Is number one Billy Carlson a high school shortstop to
the White Sox. And like you said, Brady Evil, it
does not happen often, doesn't happen often for the same college, even,
let alone high school. And the kind of flyer you're
taken with your first round pick, projecting that these high
schoolers are going to turn out to be franchise level players.
(08:22):
But that's the sort of program that was built over
there at Corona. And very excited to have a chance
to catch up with a guy who put together a
twenty eight and three season, And could we do this
at a public school?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Could we do this in May, you know, with the
or June when the college playoffs are happening, And sure,
all that crap, we could, but it's a lot easier
to do with All Star weekend and the long big
stretch for All Star week four hour show. Sure, high
school coach, bang, but not you el Segunda winning Little
League guy. Not you remember what happened with him? The
(08:55):
LGDA Little League guy. Remind me the El Segundo. I
don't know what it was, twelve of you or ten
you or whatever, but they won.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, they won. The litt league won the whole thing,
the whole thing El Segundo.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And Kate's asked us like, hey, do you want to
talk to this guy, the coach, And we were like sure,
And the.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Coach was like, I'm only available in this one wind.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And our answer was We're good. You got one shot, coach,
and you blood you never get a chance. Now try
to reschedule us and tell us you're busy. How dare
you you get one shot? On Great Sports.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Talk, Pete crow Armstrong looks like Jamie Kennedy from Can't
Hardly Wait. I mean, he looks like a child standing
at the desk, and he is currently your eyes on
favorite to win the National League MVP. He's got a
circa nineteen nineties Tim Kates hoop earring.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
In Are you sure that's Hammer, the guy behind Robot Chicken?
That's that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
He looks.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, he looks like kind of a dork. You're right, Matt,
he looks like a dork. But the biggest dork in
the history of sports is Tom Brady and look at him.
That guy's hey, guys on top of the world. Dayton,
Sophia ve Gatta and her giant boobling fifty three year
old Colombian boobs. You know, I heard when Sophia Vegatta
opens up her shirt, what happened? Parrot flies out from
(10:11):
a tweet her boom ah.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But speaking of Friday, it was magical the second stop
on the PMS summer tour.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It was really great at the Septembers And we'll announce
our next stop tomorrow or something like that, but it
was really special in Rancho Cucamonga big thank you to
Mike Toles and his wife Jan and their son Daniel
and everybody involved at September's, the whole staff and the people.
(10:41):
Everybody was so happy and fun, and after Joe Kelly left,
everybody stayed and it was still a great party all
the way through. But this is some of what Joe
Kelly talked about with us on Friday, and man, it
was cool. Is this about the Handley and the ribs
and Molina. This is really really special stuff Joe Kelly
(11:03):
talking about when he was with the Cardinals and hitting
Handley Ramirez and the opposite perspective if you're a Cardinals
guy when he was going against the Dodgers. Of course,
now beloved by Dodger fans everywhere, Joe Kelly, you can
podcast the whole thing from Friday on the iHeartRadio app.
Really great stuff here it is.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
So I get ready for my start, which is like
Game three of the NLCS, and Handley's on a Terry's
in like six seventy whatever he's doing carrying the team,
and Yadie knows Hanley. He's like, hey, he's not very tough,
Like he may look big and tough, but he's he's
he's a big, big ass baby. So right, he goes,
whatever we do, I don't care if there's basically load
nobody out. And he's like, we're gonna pitch him in.
We're gonna pitch him in. He goes, I set up.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
I'll set up right behind him, Like if it goes
right by his.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Jersey, who cares. You get two strikes, you're down three zero.
We're pitching him in. We're pitching him pitching in like
we got it, Like we got to stop this guy.
He's like, I don't care if he gets on base,
you walk a guy, he's like everyone else we could
pitch around, like I know how to pitch him with
all your stuff. He's like, no matter what, you better
not miss. He's like, if you actually hit him, oh well,
he's like, I'll rip his throat out before he even
(12:05):
gets too.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So I'm all right.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
So it's one two count and he calls fastball, and
again I'm like, all right, fast fallen and it got
away from me. And but there's a guy on second
and third thing of the time, and I was like
hit him, which didn't think he was gonnaet hurt, and
I guess it suck him good.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Right, So obviously he gets on base. Two outs.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
I get the next guy out, but he runs back
out the shore sop of the next inning, right, and
he's like holding the side and Handy's like in yacht.
He's like, we got it, like you took care of
like our whole like game plan. Like now we're gonna
make him feeling comfortable because the game before, no one
was pitching him in. And I don't remember if it
was the first, first, second start, but nobody was pitching
him in.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
He'd like watched all his video.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
He's like, we're just they're doing a favor throwm slider
away Homer, fastball away Homer, you know, slider down the middle,
down low, double the right center field. He's like, no
one has even established him. And so this is the
old school thinking of Yachty. And so we see Hanley
grow away back out. Hanley like takes a ground ball
and like holding the side and then he calls time
and training runs out and then he runs off into
(13:03):
dugout and he's gone, and Yady comes up to me.
He's like, you see, you see he doesn't want to
play the rest of the game, right, But Yachty's a
savage bro.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
I love that guy.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Obviously, Molina brothers are Molina Brothers are obviously historic. They
got a movie coming out about him with Linn Manuel Miranda.
But we didn't know obviously that he had a fracture
in his rip from that, right. I wasn't trying to
hurt Hanley. I was just trying to listen to Yatty
was telling you to do, because like I remember what
I said he did to him when I shook him off.
But anyways, we I think Hanley tried to hit again
the next game, and they called the quid something like
(13:35):
that the rest of the way. But anyways, Yachty was,
like I said, Yachty was the og and the one
of the most smartest human beings I've been around for baseball.
But obviously Dodger fans hated me for that time because
I thought that was their year, right Obviously it was.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
D it seemed like it.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
But you guys forget, you know, not to hate on
Clayton because Clayton's a Hall of Famer, But I mean,
Clayton was giving homers up to like our left handed hitters,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
He was giving up holders like Matt.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
It was, you know, Matt Carpenter was still going and
Matt Carpon who had like eleven homers at the time.
Like so, like there was there's other things that led to,
you know, losing the series. It wasn't just Hanley, but
I think as a team morale, probably if I was
on the other side of like, dang, our best hitter
is not gonna you know, produce like how we're supposed
to produce.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Holding his side.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
But then again, I played with Handle, I played with
Hanley in Boston, and Hanley knows this, and we he
what was it traded over. Yes, he was traded over,
and so I was like, well, this is awkward. So
then we first team meeting goes. We got out of
the meeting and Hanley's like, hey, Papa, you hit me
on purpose. I was like, well, I wasn't gonna let
he hit the ball, but it wasn't purposely hitting you,
(14:43):
but I was perpectly trying to get inside and if
you can get out of the way, it was gonna
hit you. And he goes, Okay, I like that, and
I was I was like, so we're good. He's like,
we're good. But then playing with Hanley, uh, I understood
what ya he was talking about. Hoping were tougher nowadays
handle if Spider bit Hanley in the toenail, he would
probably take the game off. But Hanley, I love you,
(15:05):
but you were not the toughest.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Joe Paris nobody better.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
What a night key incredible, incredible.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
And it was the Mariachi band was the chef.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Another twenty minutes of that with Joe Kelly.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It was really great stuff, really great stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He ended with a flourish and it was just a
really September to remember. As they would say at Septembers
in July. Coming up next, we'll do the top Story
of the Day with the voice of the Bolts Matt
Mundy Smith still.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Got how was your weekend?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And we have that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, Matt is cutting off the sleeves of his polo
right now so we could show Casparius.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
His big Armsparius, I gotta look at Joe Kelly's arms.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
We'll be right back with Joe Kelly's like, yeah, you know,
I'm you know, I was a good football player. I
was like, dude, you get broke off, You're one hundred
and ten pounds.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Hell and Gully riding the Petrson Money Show on this
Modello meet you a lot. On Monday, we'll do the
Inside the Locker Room Brought to you by Moodello with
ben Kispiraras in the very next hour. But right now
we are still rolling forward. It is time for the
top Story of the Day, Top story of it.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, the big question is how do how do we
do this? Do we freak out? What do we panic
brothers from recency bias? Or do we chip dillart and
scream all as well?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
All as well, Kevin Bacon.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, because the big picture, thank you, sir, I have
another has the Dodgers posting the best record in the
National League over the course of the first half of
the season, So why freak out?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean, it sounds like we're just like a little
kid that knows what we're going to get for our birthday,
but we still freak out about it and cause trouble
for everybody, knowing that the gift is still going to
be there.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
But in the past, that gift, what we thought it
was gonna be, it was not.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's before we got the range Rover last year, right
last year, and and Dave Roberts rubbed his ass on
on ice cube stieh.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Which is what makes it all the more interesting, right
because without last year, we're fat cats. You can't tell us, hey,
calm down, calm down. You'd like Carros.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Carros told us to calm down for years a decade
and we were like, patience, my ass, I'm gonna kill somebody, Carros.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
But warts they appear last year. Now, the all is
Well crew has a point and the first half is
in the books.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But that's no fun for great sports talk, a great
sports talk.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
If we just sat here and we're all measured and
not super reactive to everything that happened.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Who would have listened?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Nobody who would care be happy?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
You'd have to be shirtless the whole time, Matt to
attract the lady show the ladies those guns.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I had to read this is very.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I thought those kind of weapons were legal in southern California.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
This is very important. I had to reset the bookmark
on my Google Chrome internet browser because the ESPN schedule
breaks the baseball season into two halves. So when I
click the tab that says Dodgers to see what the
schedule looks like repeatedly, I would be fooled by seeing
the first half of the season until about two days in.
(18:28):
But now, after a decade of experience, I'm like, all right,
I'm ready to go. I know what the second half
is going to look like.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I don't know if a more important distinction has ever
been made.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Right on this air.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ultimately, when you look at the.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Car CHEVMLB app first schedule.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I don't like it. I like the way ESPN has
it laid out. Much first half is in the books.
The Dodgers posted the best record of the National League.
As I said, over the three and a half months
they have a five and a half game lead over
the Addres, the second largest in a division, behind only
the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
We're the people in the house on the hill, right,
like we have pro for the people of the sun.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
No, I'm just saying we're in a big mansion, right
and inside our house there might be strife, there might
be discord, rats, roaches, we might have lost seven straight.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But the people of.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The flats, they still got to look up at Anaheim
and Pittsburgh, right, They're looking up that hill and they
see that house, and they see the best record in
the NL. And our problems don't amount to a hill
of beans compared to what they got going on.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Our window treatment slightly tattered, yes, perhaps, but it's still
the house on the hills.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They don't notice.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
No, All they notice is that everybody thought the Dodgers
were gonna be unbeatable all year.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
They're gonna win one hundred and twenty games, and they have.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
The best record in the NLS, Yes, and the NL
going into the All Star and they are dominant.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They are the only team dominating their division. In the
National League, the Phillies and Mets are separated by just
a half gain the Cubs and Brewers. Oh at my mistake,
not Jamie Kennedy said, as you mentioned there when we
were listening to Joe, I mean, I think he looks
like both. He does. Yeah, but Seth Green is who
I was thinking of. They can't hardly wait with the
goggles on and knocking them boots is what I was
thinking of. But Cubs and Brewers separated by a game.
(20:13):
So Dodgers cruising comfortably as they hit pause for a
few days, and if you want to play doomsday scenario,
were asked to really get sideways. They are six games
ahead of the first team out of the playoffs right now,
in the first team out of the playoffs's courtesy of
their chief rival, the Dodgers taking two or three up
there in San Francisco. That could it have been a
(20:34):
lot better. Sure, you mentioned that crazy seven game losing
streak that included sweeps at the hands of Houston. Who
KOOKI routed it was Kookie vic I mean the Dodgers
a pair of no shows by the offense in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Houston really even justin Verlander's brother Ben Verlander did a
victory lap when Houston swept the Dodgers. He's like, yeah, yeah,
and it was just like okay, guys, easy.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know, eighteen to one, it's a one off. Hey,
we're gonna talk to Casparius, no big deal, whatever, if
you want to continue to be concerned about something, and
maybe you should be. And here's where the great sports
talk we have to do this daily panic sets in.
We have to They only scored two runs. We need
him to lose in the first nine innings. Yesterday Tanner
Scott blew another save and that came a day after
(21:24):
they only scored two runs in a way, and the
offense is limping into the break, averaging two and a
half runs per game over their final nine, in which
they went two and seven. So which team do we
think shows up on Friday when the season resumes, The
one that was running away with the best offense in
the league or the one that has not been average
(21:45):
but downright terrible over the last week and a half.
Otani in the month of July is hitting one to
eighty six, one eighty six, eight for forty three.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
He's still figuring out how to pitch it hit Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
He's still working his way back.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, thank you every single person that's telling us, you know,
Otani did just start to thank you well aware of
that doesn't change that he's hitting one eighty six and
he sets the tone.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It doesn't change it, Matt. But it is a very
plausible explanation. Well, then, what's Freddy Freeman's excuse? His ankle
is bad, not cool, Freddy, fix your ankle.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Man. He's hitting two oh eight in July with nineteen strikeouts.
This is a guy that's supposed to never strike out.
Zero home runs, four extra base hits. He hit two
hundred in the month of June. I believe Casparius is
looking at me through the window right now, and I'm
very uncomfortable, especially as I be rating his teammates. There
(22:45):
he is, He's looking right through the window right now
with Davies. I didn't want to acknowledg him feel terrible.
Now he's going to go into the other studio and
they're gonna be able to hear everything I say. So
I'm going to say this. It's a good thing we
got Will Smith out there. Yeah, sure, us turn thirty.
He's fine.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I love that Casparus.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He's been Casparius crushing it. Man, What will we do
without it exactly. Will Smith their best hitter all season long,
three point fifty seven this month, three twenty three on
the season and ops of nine sixty six and Casparius.
Nobody talks ops like the Petros and money shows to
get ready next hour, here it comes. Will Smith is
(23:24):
pacing it. Hit one hundred, knocking one hundred ribbies. Tommy
Edmond must have something wrong with him. Just two hits
in his last ten games, two for thirty five is
batting average zero six three. That is a third of
the Mendozo line that people like to allude to if
they're over the age of sixty. Guys, just don't forget
(23:44):
how to hit. It's not the way it works. You
would assume there is something going on with each of them.
You just mentioned Freddy's ankle, a lot of people pointing
to mooky sickness at the start of the season, and
has yet to rebound. He is stuck with warning track power.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
He's been very mediocre.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yes, but we can't forget the sickness, the enduring sickness
that he had to contend with while abroad in Japan.
Not easy. In April set the tone for what has
been a struggle of the season. Andy Pae has has
been great, however fallen off a little bit, and uh
(24:24):
our man Hay Song Kim also has fallen off a
little bit. The pitching has anybody hitting well? Will Smith,
that's it, our guy, the guy that we have puffed
our chest out for since the moment he showed up
as a call up from Oklahoma City. Will Smith has
been that guy now. The pitching save Tanner Scott, who's
(24:45):
been a bit of a roller coaster. And if you're
in a tight game in the playoffs and your closer
comes out of the bullpen, you'd probably like to feel
a little bit more confident than you do right now.
But Glass now sensational in his first start back, and
she and Otania devastating duo right now. Just eyeball test
some serious heat. Otani three scoreless on Saturday. His final
(25:07):
pitch was ninety nine, struck out the side in the
first on just twelve pitches. And quietly that Emmit Shean
is back to being that Emmet Sheian that we knew
and loved a year and a half ago when he
joined us for the first time in the Petros Money Show.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And I bet we see one of our young Dodger
pitcher dalliances.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And he did great when he was on our show.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
He really did.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
And he's doing great out there after a shaky first
inning in the fourth, after that, three up, three down
the next three while hitting ninety seven on his heater.
But as we suspected, when the playoff rolls around, Otani's
their best pitcher. He has emerged, even though he has
only pitched one, two or three innings. As the dodgers
Ace stuff is, they like to say, the stuff is nasty.
(25:51):
Otani's stuff is sick. That's what they say.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I heard. Yeah, you could ask Casparius about it. That's right.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
And if Shean keeps this up between he and Casparius,
so much flexibility and your rotation. A guy has a
shaky start, quick hook Sandman nighttime at the Apollo style,
get him out, gets in it, shut time, uppay, Apollo up,
up beat it. Get one of those two guys in
(26:19):
there to fill in. Yamamoto has a mister start. He's
on pace for two hundred innings. He should have a
couple more wins. The strikeouts are there, the war is
the best on the team. Kershaw's ten starts, fifty innings,
you'll take that. He's averaging over five per start sub
three and a half ERA for a fifth starter. Pretty
sweet deal. It's not just riding it out. It's been important.
It's been a crucial part of this Dodger's pitching rotation.
(26:42):
But again with the negative, the concern Tanner Scott eight
home runs allowed, Kirby Yates five home runs allowed, that's
the concern. The back end of the bullpen Alex Bessia
seven home runs allowed, even that heart rob Anthony Banda
six home runs allowed. The bullpen has been apt to
(27:06):
give up the long ball. And to put that in perspective,
the Padres closer Suarez has allowed just one home run
in his forty three appearances with twenty eight saves. Yeah,
no home runs only one forty three appearances, Tanner Scott
eight pitching wins in October, and it's hard to argue
(27:30):
with what we're looking at. Come three months from now,
that rotation it should be right. Otani Yama as they
like to call him, and we do too, las Now,
which is what we like to call him now. Sure,
Snell Kershaw backed up by our man Casparius, who's going
to join us in twenty five minutes inside the locker room,
and shean can't lose, can't lose. And that's what you
(27:53):
look at. That's our big picture house on the hill,
as you called it, p all as wild Chip Diller.
I mean, they say pitching wins in the playoffs. If
you look at it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Last year at the All Star break, the Dodgers were
fifty six and forty one. This year fifty eight and
thirty nine better than last season's World Series champion team.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
And they lost all their pitchers on the back half
of the season. This year they figured it out. They
lost him in the front half of the season, and
now they're all coming back. And the Phillies maybe with
Wheeler and Rangers Suarez and Aaron Nol if he's healthy,
that could step to him. The Mets, no Cubs, no Giants,
and they kind of just shut down the Dodgers offense
(28:35):
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
But whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Now the Padres, you know, Michael King gets healthy or
something with Dylan ceec and Paveta and Darbish could be
a problem. But again the one thing to remember, well,
the pitching should prevail. This Dodgers offense won the World Series.
Last year. With their offense, they won the Divisional Round
by scoring seven in a win and eight in another.
They won the NLCS when they scored nine to eight
(28:59):
ten in ten runs, and they won the World Series
when they scored six, four, four and seven runs. So
that offense second half of the season, as they come
straight out the gate with two of the three hottest
teams in baseball, Brewers just swept them. They won seven
in a row. The Twins won three straight series going
into the break, and the Red Sox won ten in
(29:20):
a row going into the All Star Break. Will be
their first three series. May the offense figure it out,
get it right, and supplement and compliment this pitching staff
that has been so dominant to the tune of a
better record than they had at the break last year.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Casparius didn't like what he had to hear and he left.
I just watched him pull out in an uber. We're
gonna have to fill the next hour.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I think that kind of adjusted pretty well, right, Oh yeah, kind.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
He was listening. He said, if I here's something I
don't like, I'm not taking this check.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
IM going to adjust here a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
We'll be right back with how is your weekend? Kats
isn't here? And neither's Ronnie, but we're still gonna do it.
And then Ben Casparius inside the locker room, brought to
you by the Doghouse, Modelo and our friends are Maroungo
Casino Resort and Spam celebrating twenty years of good times,
(30:17):
rocking groove with us. Come on out, it's dancing time.
Petro said, Money Show. Happy to be with you on
this Modello meets a lot of Monday. You know, it's
not a real meach if it's not made with Modelo.
A reward for those of the fighting spirit. I wonder
if Joey Taylor is gonna get like a lifestyle podcast
gone the Wish, you know, Delish, delicious Dish. Do you
(30:44):
like Blenny Mariri's not really so.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
What i'd call her podcast? Do you like Bloody Mary's
La Was Out or the LA Was Out pod?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
She can chronicle It's not even from here though she does.
She know if LA is out? All you see Mark
Sanchez at the coliseum and you're telling me la is out?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know what's the difference between will Share and Montana.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I don't believe she does. Uh it is it's Monday,
so time. Oh there's a Yeah, it's in there, right,
you got it? The Voice of the Balls, Matt money Smith.
How was your weekend?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That was great?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Surved in the morning. My friend Greg was in New
York went to Mario's Irish soda bread scones and posting it.
So I found myself inspired. I baked for I believe
what was the first time in my life? Your friend,
your friend was in New York, and he asked me
about this place that's across the street from my daughter's
apartment that's kind of famous for scones. So he went.
(31:52):
He posted a photo of it.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So you tried to bake scones.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I looked up copycat Mario's scone recipe.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
How did it go?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I don't know. I don't know if Preston was just
being nice to me or if they were really good.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
These are great, dad.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
They definitely did not taste like the Marios scones, but
they were good enough to eat.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Sorry, you a good scone tone.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I feel like it good for you. I feel like it.
She did come back.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You know, Matt, anything you try, I expect you to
have success.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
She was back in the studio, so I was with
her in the recording studio until five, made dinner at
home since I had control of the remote on this
rotation of dinnertime, we watched the Larry Sanders Show and
I think she was pretty into it, which made me
quite excited. Sunday served with a Good Doctor in Joe
Kwan and Preston wanted to check out Mission Impossible, so
(32:41):
we hit up the block at Orange and the wife
came as well. I think we were three of nine
people in the entire place.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Break into your car.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Nobody broke into my car and I remembered where I
parked it as well. It was great though. Enjoyed that
and over the Good Doctor's his daughter Annie made her
Club America debut for their season opener. They cruise Azul
two to one, and that was fun to watch. And yeah,
celebrated with pizza and wings at the Abbey and Seal Beach.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
All right, another successful weekend for the Smith family. You
will never touch it, don't try.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Oh I did have to move some furniture and throughout
my back, so not entirely successful.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I gave up trying years ago. Quick epidural. You'll be
back all right, Adam? What what about your weekend?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Sir?
Speaker 8 (33:26):
Watch some Summer League Clippers Friday night. They were taking
on the Rockets. Cam Christie, brother of Max, had twenty
one points. Looks good still just nineteen years of age.
On Saturday, do.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
A podcast after the Clipper Summer League game.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
I did it just like it was a normal postgame show.
That's your thoughts, same as always. On Saturday, I went
to the AMC Burbank sixteen. Saw the New Superman by
James Gunn.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Oh was that?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, seems like it's getting bad reviews.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
It's like, if you like James Gunn and Guardians of
the Galaxy stylist, do you know what James gun is?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
He's a guy that made Guardians in the Galaxy.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
He directed The Raccoon and all that. Like, if you
like his sense of humor, you're going to like it.
But it also kind of undercuts any of the drama
because anytime someone dies, they just crack.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
A joke ten seconds later. So it's kind of it
was my.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Favorite many there are bald.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Justice and.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
A lot of that. Yes, it's all that.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Supern got a super boner and his superpants.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
On Sunday, Clippers go see that.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, I've got a boner.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Clippers and Bucks Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I want to see how that boner looks in that
weird speed Yeah, double tights, a legg ex boner, any
boners in it?
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Got excited about Cam Christy.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
And Superman's tights.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
I mean there's a bulge. It is noticeable.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
It's like.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
I forget get the actress.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
She's okay, Amy Adams.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
No, it's Stallion.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
It's not Kate Bosworth anymore.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Not Megan thee Stallion. No, no, no, it was okay.
That was my weekend. Now I'm here.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I'm Lois Lane. I am a reporter. I'm in love
with you, Superman. I'm ana shake my ass like there's
no tomorrow. I'm Megan the Stallion. I've been shotting to
l see that.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
After we talked with Casparius, Farts, Boners and Meghan the
Stallion is Lois Lane.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Oh no, Kryptonite.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Is the only thing that guy's done Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
Uh of note he did the latest Suicide Squad two.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
They ruined the superhero movies and the comic books that
I grew up loving. All the stuff that was for
weirdos is now for even more nuanced weirdos.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Like Katie Newton, how was your weekend? K Do you
love comic book movies?
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I do? Saw Superman.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
I liked it. It was you know, as far as like, uh,
superhero movies go. The thing I like most about it
was it just was self contained. It didn't like tease
other things. There were other characters that I guess are
going to be in other projects, but I didn't know
anything about it because I don't know a lot about
d C.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
So I was like, all right, I'm a Mars.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
Comics, not d C.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
What is this wonder woman? Who is? Who is she?
Speaker 9 (36:31):
Who?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
What? Did you enjoy it? So you liked the movie?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:34):
It was fun.
Speaker 9 (36:35):
It was It was the best superhero movie I've seen
in a while. I would say, yeah, and you've seen
them all, all of them, every single book.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
She's the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and
I've had them all over the world.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
And uh Lois Layne is Rachel Brosnahan, she was.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Brosnahan. I love her nobody. That's what a great character actress.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
She was in masel on the Amazon Prime there.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yeah, whatever, nothing against you, Katie? Is that it?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
That was your whole weekend?
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (37:04):
I went to a comedy podcast show on Friday, and
then yesterday had my soccer league at Griffith Park.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Who was it the Love Master, the guy from the
Magic Hour?
Speaker 9 (37:13):
No, it was my brother, my brother and me. Yeah,
And then soccer yesterday, and here I am filling in
for Ronnie and everyone keeps asking me, Oh, what's Ronnie doing?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Ronnie is very He's very secretive about his plans. It's
Ronnie's power. His power is his mystery.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
That weekend, his mind and mine alone.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
It's not belonging to you, it's neither.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I didn't read that done well. My nephews are in town,
my brother's sons, Cristo and Yanni, with their girlfriends, Bella
and Dylan, and really nice to be with them there
in their early twenties. They're both were in the Greek
Army and they both have dual citizenship, so really great
(37:56):
to see the boys. You've met those boys a long
time ago. I did my yoga and was confused, mostly
about you know, what to do with my life now.
As you know, Matt, I am very proficient when it
comes to the tuna melt, not making them like you're sconing,
but just enjoying to eat a tuna.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Melt at that one particular spot.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
There are a few places that I enjoy a tuna sandwich.
Rieira's the Malaga Cove Market. I like a tuna sandwich
at the bab Bah Deli. But at the Proudly Serving,
which is a famous burger place in the South Bay area.
There's a new one in Redondo Beach. They had a
special on tuna melt weekend only. We have a tuna melt,
(38:38):
so you had to go twice twice Saturday and Sunday lunch,
Bothy mid afternoon. So thank you to Proudly Serving a
delicious tuna melt.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I mean, okay, there we go, delicious. It's gonna say
we got to review a Superman. Can we get a
review of the tunam?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
I thought it was great. I mean usually I'm a
Marvel Univerorse tunic guy.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah, I don't know these two. No, it's like Texas Toast.
I don't know the tuna melt Marvel. I mean, I'm
more of a d C type melt guy. Or I
just took it like they bade it, you know, make
the tuna melt, and I, you know, I'm not that
guy that sits there and says, well I marked out
without you know, just I got enough problems.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
I gotta deal with my kids orders, you know. So
thank you and we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
We're gonna go upstairs and talk to Ben Casparius and
bring in the Age of Casparius on the Petrosen Money Show.
On a five seventy l I Sports, we are your
home of the Dodgers. It is All Star break Week.
