Speaker 2 (00:45):
Look on to you the superst the super risk of
super Plexus Petrone or seventy LA Sports. Because we got
Dodgers Phillies Galpin Motors broadcast Booth three o EM first
pitch for Jesus Luzardo going up against Blake Snell. Dodgers
(01:06):
looking to take and almost impossible to overcome to zero lead.
They already got the split by winning Game one on Saturday,
have an opportunity to go up to zero. Snell on
the mound against Luzardo three h eight pm. Tim Kates
with Dodgers on deck coming up at two pm. So
it is a superist of super flexes for us PE,
going from noon until just two pm. Today.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
It is a very special day. The Dodgers. One confidence
is surging. People in Philadelphia are very upset. They'll come
home tonight, they'll play again. I believe we'll be at
Dodger Stadium for that event on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Wednesday will be out there.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And we're hopeful.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I mean hole music at literally today, hopeful music at
new this.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
During the off season when we're throwing parties for Roki
Sasaki and Hey Song Kim, unless it's Hi Song Kim.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I always get that one confused. I think it's high, right, No,
no high.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You get a new high after going through the whole season,
the ups and downs, hitting the panic button, knowing that
you're overreacting to this or that just because you do
sports talk radio and you have to do something. But
then it comes down to this time of year and
the Dodgers hit doubles and home runs and they do
(02:50):
their dance and they Hugvassa on TV and Otani is
just a machina that is unbeknown to mankind.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Nothing like it.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
It feels pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
It's a show, it's a spectacle. It's must watch, appointment
based radio listening to hear Steven Nelson and Rick Monday
and David Vasse get after it, and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You know what you might want to get out of
though I'm here. What what's the matter? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Nothing, it's just you know, it's all excited about the
Nelson Monday call and part of the misplay and right
field and everything scored three runs in the second inning.
He can make up for it with one swing. The
pitch get high in the air, right center field, bait
her on the run on the warning track. He's at
the wall.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
It's gone tail time. In game one, he flips the
scoreboard with a three run.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Bass and all of a sudden, Citizens Bank Park resembles
a library.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Nice and quiet.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Play it again, Yeah, part of the misplaying right field
and the Philly scored three runs in the second inning.
He can make up for it with one swing. The
pitch get high in the air, right center field, bait
her on the run on the warning track.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
He's at the wall.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
It's gone tail time. In game one, he flips the
scoreboard with a three run bomb and.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
All of a sudden, Citizens Bank Park resembles a library,
nice and quiet.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And is there a coincidence that those two men are
two of the last guests on scam SAX and Kate's
and the am that dominated this morning from six to
nine AM Stephen Nelson then Rick Monday, respectively. Here they
are with Showhy's tenth strikeout.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
The payoff pits swinging a miss strike three, and o'tani
again comes off the mound, screaming and pumping his fist
as he has pitched another one two three, inning one
two three in the six go to Phillies with bookending.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Ks urn strikeout. Whatever did you call him case? Did
you call him Nelly? And did you call him Mo?
Did you call them both Nelly and Mo? Did you
call one Mo and not Nelly or Nelly and not Mo?
Speaker 8 (05:34):
I called Nelly Nelly and I call Mo Mo.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
And how is it received?
Speaker 9 (05:41):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (05:42):
Nelly called me TC on Friday, which was great, you know,
because we actually have a really good relationship and me
and Mo as well. So Rick came on this morning.
It was great to hear his voice bright and early,
and heck yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
And it's a Modello meets you a lot of Monday.
Somebody might want to reach for one of those before
the day is over, because Modello, it's not just a
real beer from Mexico. Fighting spirit, but to beat you
a lot of maide with Modello bears the brand and
(06:15):
the mark of a fighter, a reward, so to speak,
for those of the fighting spirit, the mark of a fighter.
(06:36):
So a lot of excitement regarding the Dodgers crazy stuff
over the weekend. You didn't expect the Chargers to lose,
I don't think, and you didn't Cla to win, you know,
uh I did not and USC was idle and you
know the angels are done playing. But it's safe to
say that the lawyers, as we are your YAYR station,
(06:59):
are the story in town. And I guess it doesn't
matter who your relievers are if you have starters coming
out of the bullpen. But how long will that continue?
And what will they do? And who will they ask?
And what will happen after Blake Snell is done? After
(07:20):
his customary hopefully for Dodger fans six or seven inning.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
As part of the sort of intrigue, the entertainment, the
entertaining side of the game is kind of having all
of these different things at your disposal, not knowing which
way Dave Roberts wanted to go and to see whether
or not glass Now it was last time in Philadelphia,
it was a bit of a disaster, remember tax the
bullpen had to leave early, said the rubber didn't feel right,
(07:46):
it was wet. And yet he comes out and has
a hell of a seventh inning, solid eighth inning. Vessia
has to kind of clean up a little bit of
a mess when the control got away from him. And
I feel like as exciting as it is to watch
Otani in the batter's box, no doubt about it. I mean,
(08:07):
it's the most exciting thing in baseball right now, but
there is something a lot that's freaking fun about Roki
Sasaki on the mound and that's splitter that he's throwing,
and how befuddled guys are trying to get a hit
off him. It's it's there's something about a dominating closer,
right the game is on the line, the final three outs,
(08:27):
and you have a guy that is just you know,
Mariano Rivera coming.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Into this guy has only closed two games in his life.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm saying, like, yeah, I'm saying, but there is something
about that position when you have a dominant player at
that position because the stakes are so high, how wild
it is. I mean, even if they're great or not great,
you know, it's the hardest three outs to get. And
to have someone that throws like that. As a Dodger fan,
I think is h has got to be exciting. I
mean it's been a while. Like even when ken Lee
(08:56):
was doing it, it was kind of a roller coach.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Oh don't you that's a hall of fame, right there?
Was it?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or was it not?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Well, he closed a lot more than two games.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I'm saying like it was. It was a roller coaster
of a ninth inning. Oh okay, a lot of times
for him to get those saves. To have someone you know.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Exactly right. You know, to have the type of closer
and look, Kenley was great for a long time. For
the Dodgers. To have a Kenley Jansen a you know,
Trevor Hoffman like, to have one of those is not
easy to find. They are few and far between, and
you know, it's the heart. It seems like it's the
hardest thing to find now whether or not it'll sustain.
(09:39):
But you got two appearances in playoff games, and is.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
This the Dodger closer? Yeah, the foreseeable future, I mean,
beyond this year's playoffs and and all that. I don't know,
but here's the call.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Sosaki's stats and fires in the air third base side
month see calling ford and foul ground waving everybody off,
hits in his glove, and that's so win for RelA.
The Dodgers roar back from an early three nothing deficit.
The brothers Hernandez bring in five runs. Yeah, us quality
(10:15):
start from Otani, then glasnow Vesia and Sasaki slam the
door to steal game one of the Division series.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Were we surprised to see red bull faced Vessia out there?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm not gonna lie that look. I guess that's part
of the adventure, right, that's a little nervous man when
he comes jogging out looking like his head's about to explode.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
And uh, we didn't hear much from the Philly fans
after game one, and I guess we're not gonna hear
very much from the Philly fans after game two. But
either way, this afternoon Dodgers versus Phillies. It really is
a true hopeful music at noon on the Petro San
(11:05):
Money Show, because we're on at noon.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Did Rogan and Rodney go an hour or two one hour?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
One hour?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
They did one hour, one hour.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
They did it. They did eleven to twelve, Kates did
six to nine. Kate's is going to do three or
two to three, and we're going to do noon to two.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Kates is gonna do Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck and
Dodger Clubhouse and Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So then Kates will have essentially responsibilities from six am
until we'll figure three but like probably seven thirty eight pm.
Kates is what we're looking at.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
But yeah, and then back up in the morning less
than twelve hours later, and then we have a four
hour show tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Four hour show tomorrow. Do we know what the Tuesday?
What Wednesday is?
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (12:02):
Wednesday, first pitch is at three eight, So Petrol some
Money show, flex back again to noon to two.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
The Dodgers Phillies. They want to go down.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Corrections and retractions on me, it's a six o'clock, it's
a it's a five.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
There we go, it's a six o'clock, first pitch.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
There we go, Petro some.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Money on two to five. Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (12:26):
Potentially game Thursday could be at three o'clock. Potential game
four on Thursday, three o'clock.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
That's the one.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Oh, there we go. So we are uh that schedule
talk on the Petrol said money show. We are all
over the schedule because you have to have a sketch
and yeah, Matt, you know, to hear that they're doing
an hour and Kate's is doing you know, essentially eight
(12:52):
hours makes you feel like one of those memes where
everybody's carrying a piano and there's like the one guy
with his fingers, you know, like not really carrying it,
you know, but acting like he's carrying it, you know,
right right like that. But then I think like, well,
maybe we're kind of like that guy too, because you know,
we're only doing two hours. But again, you know, I
(13:12):
always say like, hey do you need me? Like, hey,
what do you I don't do it anymore because I
was I was no one's ever. I mean, I've I've
offered up my services like hey do you need me
to fill a segment? You know, Tim Conway style and
no one. I mean, I've never once been taken up on.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Yes, Tim, I think more insulting than anything in Petrols.
I do appreciate that always. The most insulting part about
this morning was walking out of the studio.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well you don't appreciate it enough to actually, but anyway,
go ahead.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
You're right about that.
Speaker 10 (13:48):
And in comes Fred Rogan walking into the studio down
the hallway by the kitchen, and I said, hey, Fred,
what's going on? He was here today? And I said, hey, Fred,
meet the studios, dude, I'll meet the Fred. He's like,
what are you talking about? I was here last week.
I said, yeah, what about before that?
Speaker 8 (14:05):
And he goes well.
Speaker 10 (14:06):
And then I go over and I walk by Gary
and Shannon, who I've seen every day now for the
last week and a half. And I go by and
they're like, hey, have you seen Fred?
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I said?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Why?
Speaker 10 (14:14):
They go, oh, we're having Fred on. I said, oh,
Fred's here. Once in a year, you pop Fred on
your show. I'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
You guys like nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Nothing. That's the second time they put Fred on. They
had him on last week. Are you kidding me? No?
They had him on last week as well. And then
Fred put them on, of course, because of course Fred
just wants to fill a segment, so he'll book a
guest for anything. But how about that, I never thought
of that. Caates you're there doing scam mm hmm. They
(14:43):
can put you on to talk Dodger baseball, and instead
they opt to put on Fred Rogan.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
That's I mean Fred shows up once in a blue moon.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Literally he's yeah, I mean he has been in the
studio twice in the last i'd say six weeks.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Well, remember they do skew old their fair point. It's
an older audience and Fred is old fairpoint.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That's very old.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Does that make you feel any better?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That does actually make me feel luck Yeah, that's good point. P.
It's a good point by you.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
So we don't have Monday foot Night football tonight. Who's playing?
I don't even know?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Chiefs and Jags? Oh are playing tonight? Let's go Chiefs, oh,
Duvall in Duvall, Yes, in Jacksonville. Yes, they're playing the
two and two Chiefs versus the three and one Jaguars.
So we will either have Thursday Night football this coming Thursday,
(15:38):
or I believe right, or a game or four or
game four. Yeah, it's a weird schedule. I always feel
like they would do one and two back to back, rest, day,
three and four back to back.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Way to avoid football. They don't want to lose in
the ratings to football games, fair point, and they're finding
a way to avoid it. They really are right, Yeah,
and they're doing a hell of a job. Yeah, because
I have not been impaired from my football viewing by
the Dodgers very much.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
No, yesterday I did not watch the Yankees Blue Jays.
I did watch a little bit of the Tigers Mariners
as it was kind of closing out. But yeah, that's
a very exciting time. I don't want to step to
it here in.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
October as the playoffs are raging, and they're raging here
on AM five seventy, we will talk to David Vasse
in our final hour live from Philadelphia. We will keep
it uniform and do a dead and Alive Guy Birthday
of the Day, because I mean, let's be honest, we've
been here before in the NLDS.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yact like you've been there, we have, so.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
We're not going to sit here and blow out the
whole show and put on Roger the Peanut Guy to
finish the show. I mean, maybe it's not a bad idea,
but we're not.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I mean, could put Hungary and Shannon.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I don't see why.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That a friend did last week to talk Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
So what's going on in Gaza guys? Hey? You know,
and Dodgers are playing in Philly. So all of that
is still to come. We'll have a little bit of
a story on UCLA because they really did shock the world.
Whether or not Oregon beat Penn State twice, it doesn't matter.
Ucla being a twenty five point dog and dominating Penn State.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Had to be upset about the lack of a blue
and the blue out.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Well, I think we all saw that coming. Yeah, I
mean I think they could win out and still not
fill the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I don't I could see that.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Like, I just don't think it's something that people are
are willing to do anymore for UCLA football, which is
why I had my relatively popular dissertation on the on
campus stadium and a need for it and how it
worked for Tulane, Houston and UCF. But of course it
won't happen because California sucks, and bel Air sucks and
(18:00):
everybody sucks. So UCLA, though, I don't want to be
negative with a big moment, and that should be addressed
as well as we go forward. So we'll be right
back with more great sports talk. As the show continues,
we'll have how is your weekend? A lot to enjoy to.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
As many iterations of Atlantic City as possible.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
My favorite version of Atlantic City. I can't find anymore
to give Doranie you know, I have it in my library,
but it doesn't transfer unless I gave him a CD.
But it's Alo Darlin as Australian band. I feel like
she does the best job to me. The Whole Steady
(18:46):
does a good one too.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That's our favorite. I think that's probably the most played
on the Petrosit Money show, the Whole Steadies version.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, this is Ryan Adams also excellent. So we'll be
right back with more Petrosen Money. On Ambire seventy, LA
Sports will have the top story of the day. We're
getting into Dodgers, We're getting into Phillies, We're getting into
the nl DS, which has been exciting for the Angelino
so far.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make Am five seventy or your favorite
AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on the
iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip
all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
It's cracking. Everybody, Welcome back. It's Petrosing Money on M
five seventy LA Sports your home of the Dodgers the
NLDS coming up next Game two. Blake Snell, Hey, SEUs Lozardo.
We will talk to Blake Snell's number one fan and
personal reporter Michael Jordan to Amadrashad David Vasse in the
(19:58):
very next hour. We are aware of the band and
Levon Helm's cover of Atlantic City. Please we played it
last week, take it easily.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
A lot of people think that's the original. It's how
popular that one is.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And we're gonna wait till the dust clears about Mark Sanchez,
who's a friend and a colleague and obviously an unfortunate
situation that we hope gets worked out for everybody involved.
But you're not gonna hear like a ten minute story.
I don't know what people expect. It's obviously not a
good situation.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
No bueno. See that's my contribution to that.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
No, right, I just see everybody's like, what are you
gonna get into this. It's like, what do you want
me to get into It's like, it's obviously not a
good situation. No, all right, it is.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Time happy, he's okay.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
And and everybody but that everybody's okay in the moment. Yeah,
see there was more of a contribution then you found
the bueno. All right, it is time for the top
story of the end.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Top story of it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Well, something that I thought about in watching the games
over the weekend, not just the Dodgers versus the Phillies,
but Cubbs Brewers, Yankees, Blue Jays, and it harkened back
to Vassay once talking to us about stressful innings, about
when to pull a pitcher, about how a pitcher should
be able to go deeper into the game by recognizing that, yeah,
(21:30):
he's at ninety pitches, but he's still throwing whatever pick
your number, ninety four miles an hour and there's no
traffic on the basis, so let him go. You don't
have to pull him out even though it's at his
whatever number that you said you would pull him if
in fact he hit that particular pitch count. The Dodgers
did not have a it felt like, I mean granted,
(21:52):
they found themselves in a quick hole in the contest
to get second game against the Reds when the air
kept Yamamo out there for a little bit longer, but
he quickly overcame that and shortened up his pitch counts.
In the subsequent innings, Tao got a huge hit and
they won that game. They won both of those games easy.
They won both of those games going away. They did
(22:13):
not need a third game. There was very little pressure
on their bullpen, and they were able to get Roki
Sasaki out there for not even a save situation, but
a third of an inning to show off some stuff
that he had showed at the very end of the
regular season. A guy that barely played all season long
was able to get a postseason rep. You contrast that
(22:37):
with the stressful situation in Chicago. Took them all three games,
and the final inning was so stressful that you had
an umpire get berated on his way off the diamond
to retreat to the umpire's room by the Padres bench
because of a missed call. You had a Yankees team
also should have lost in two games were it not
(22:59):
for multi base running gaffs, a questionable call by a
review and just really some dumb luck that pushed that
thing to a third game, which still was stressful until
the final out, and they get the doors blown off
in two games in Toronto and the Cubs get absolutely
destroyed by the Mariners in game one. I think that
(23:20):
the Dodgers recognized what was in front of them. However,
you want to paint the picture of what their opponent
was and what it could have been had the Mets
actually been a little bit better, or maybe that forces
the Padres to slide to that spot where the Reds
back their way into the postseason. Doesn't matter. It's the
way they played. It's the professionalism at which they approached
(23:42):
that series. I believe that set them up for that
game one win. First of all, Otani gets the start.
You don't need a third game, and now Glass now
is maybe out there or Blake Snell on short rest
is out there in game one, instead, they lined it
up perfectly, snelling one Yamamoto in two Otani and three.
(24:04):
He goes out there and ends up dominating. Yeah, it
was three earned runs, but it was three earned runs
and a wonky second inning, and after that it was
absolutely lights out. And that's what's kind of wild about
how unique he is and how fun it is to
have this player on the Dodgers that you get to
see every single day as a fan in this local market.
(24:25):
If you choose to listen or watch the games. The
guy goes zero for four with a walk and four strikeouts,
and for most people, you'd say, wow, that's a really
bad debut in the NLDS. Instead, he throws six innings
of three hit, five strike I'm sorry, he throws six
(24:46):
innings of nine strikeout baseball, and it's just it's stupid.
It's really dumb what the guy's capable of doing, and
how fun it is to watch him do it, even
with the rough road of the second inning, to see
him bounce back and retire thirteen straight hitters was just crazy.
(25:09):
And that's part of the fun of this.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, right, I mean, I know he didn't have a
great day at the dish, but just that he's up there,
it's just it's so and they're trying to pitch around him.
It's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, that's what I mean. It's like zero for four,
four strikeouts for the guy that's gonna be the unanimous
MVP would be Wow. Lights were a little too bright
for this guy. And this one must have really been
affected by the crowd. And this one, you know, they
were booing him the second he stood out of the dug.
You know, he got out of the dugout into the
on deck circle, and they were booing him for every
(25:41):
pitch and maybe it got to him a little bit. No,
it didn't, because he pitched six innings of nine strikeout
ball to go along with it. And again that is
not possible if they don't win those first two games.
The idea that Glass now was I able to go
out there yesterday or to be able to go out
(26:02):
there on Saturday and follow him up because he's not
pitching until Game four is.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Again the weather was good. That was good weather. That's true.
Likes to point out, you know there's good weather. It
was nice, good conditions, not a wet mound. So no, yeah,
good for Glass now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it's great for Glass now, I will say.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
And he had bulged the postseason in like seven years
or something, so.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Had it been that long, Oh, that's right, because he
always hurt guys. You know, I think his most inn
he's ever pitched in the season was like ninety or
something like that. Last year, and of course he was
hurt for the entire post season, but hell of a
guy when it comes to celebrating. We'll give him that
able to contribute to this one, though huge seventh inning
Vessia gets him out of the jam. I will say
(26:46):
the rear end was a little bit tight in that
eighth inning with the bases loaded and Vessia coming on
this end. Your rear end, yes, I just did all
I know, like the wife, the daughter, Yes, good doll,
watching it together, watching it together.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
But I didn't know the rear end was like the
official rear end.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I said, my butthole as opposed to the rear end.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
You know you got to have those moments and then
to have Roki Sasaki do it again. And whether or
not that looks like that without the team giving him
the type of cushion they did when he came in
to close it out against the Reds, I don't know
if it can look like that. I don't know if
you know, maybe it does. It seems like he's pretty
mellow when it gets out there, despite what appears to
(27:33):
be labored breathing. I guess it isn't rail. Muto looked
like he saw a ghost when that splitter came through
in the in the bottom of the ninth. That third
strike that he watched was one of the best pitches
we've seen all postseason and will probably be one of
the pitches we see all postseason. The fact that he
(27:55):
gives up a double does not affect him at all.
Weak ground out from Castiganos on the next pitch, and
then of course the pop out into foul ground to
clean it up. And I don't know if you know,
it's great work by TBS, But I don't know if
you noticed this. It was pretty fun to watch. You know,
here's a however old he what is he twenty three now?
A twenty three year old kid out there who's been
(28:17):
pressed into this position out of really necessity and to
have former MVPs like Mookie Bets, a home run champion
and Taoscar Hernandez the greatest player to ever play baseball
in Shohotani kind of hanging on every one of his
pitches that he's the star and they're the audience, and they.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
He's had a tragic story in his past. You know,
he's obviously an emotional guy. We saw him crying, you know,
in the dugout way earlier in this early and I
can imagine that everybody's pulling for him, like everybody you know.
And that's that's a special thing, you know. It's kind
of like the way that the Angels team rallied around
(29:03):
Joseph Gordon Levitt in Angels in the outfield.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
It's just like that is it is life imitating art
imitating life. We talked about the ninth, the ninth thingning.
We talked about game one kind of being the key
because of the way this thing lined up. If you
could get game one, You've got Blake Snell, who had
that monster start against the Phillies about three weeks ago,
(29:29):
seven innings of two hit twelve strikeout ball. They hit
eighty seven zero eight seven against him, less than one hundred. Schwarber,
Bryce Harper, real Muto combined zero for eleven against Snell.
And again this is not back in July or what
this was mid September at Dodger Stadium. Schwarber struck out
(29:53):
three of his four times up at the plate. And
then you get you get Yamamoto for three at Dodger
Stadium in his one start against Philadelphia this year, six innings,
three hits one run, five strikeouts and they hit one
fifty eight against him. I'll be interested to see, and
(30:15):
I think we all felt like it was gonna be
glass now coming out of the pen in this one.
They have sort of told us that, I'll be interested
to see if that's maybe something they do again. Would
they bring Kershaw out of the bullpen or because the
bullpen was fully rested and it was just Vesia that
threw the one pitch. Obviously, if Sasaki's your closer, you
(30:35):
expect him to be out there in the ninth again.
And it sounds like that's where Dave Roberts is leaning
based on his post game conversations. But do they go
to I mean, are we going to see Tanner Scott?
We have not seen him in the playoffs yet. Are
we going to see Jack Dryer come back out? Are
we going to see him at Sheehan come back out
after their issues against the Reds. You know, Dryer put
(30:57):
out a fire. He got tagged for a run, but
that wasn't really his fault. That's what he inherited in
the walk.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Did put out the fire?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Dryer put out the fire. It was always burning. So
it'll be interesting to see how they approach that. Certainly,
last year it was the bullpen game in an elimination
game in San Diego that made all the news and
talked about, you know, we talked about what brave moves
those were for Dave Roberts and how he used his
bullpen to win a World Series. This year, it's the
exact opposite. It's pulling starters out of the bullpen and
(31:28):
using nothing but starters. Roki Sasaki, Starter is your closer
glass now. Starter was your first arm out of the bullpen.
And we'll see whether or not that continues tonight or
this afternoon. Based on the three o'clock first start. If
Clayton Kershaw might be that guy, would you go to
him over Dryer, over Tanner, Scott over you know? Emmachian's
(31:49):
another starter. He did have a lower erra than Kershaw,
but obviously already had his opportunity to do that against
the Reds and it did not go great for him.
So it's just it's fun.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Are you already done with Matt Well?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I just don't know if that's like after what happened
with the Reds, would you go to Emmit Shehan before
you went to Kershaw?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Now, it's very it's fun. It's a lot of fun because, uh,
they win, you know, something happens that they win. If
they don't win, it's frustration. It's one hundred texts that
the Dodgers suck. It's Consado bats, it's it's Panic brothers,
it's Engelbert Humperdink. It's really feast or famine here, Matt.
(32:28):
I mean, it's real. You're walking a fine line.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Now, true, if the Dodger's fun because.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
They make it to the NLCS after winning the World
Series last year, Let's say, and they have a hard
fought battle and they don't end up winning for one
reason or another. I don't know if it'll be as tragic,
but I think people expect them to push through these Phillies.
But the interesting thing is the Phillies are supposed to
be the world beaters this year.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Team of destiny is what we were told. You know,
Spilly said he thought it's den Look for them, it's
a little bit different that the Dodgers are going to
have everybody back. The Dodgers lose nobody this upcoming offseason.
Phillies likely not going to have schwarbur back like they're
they're going to take a hit on their team. And
that's sort of what Spillboards was talking to us about
(33:15):
that there's that pressure of same with the Padres. We
talked about that when they were eliminated. That's a team
that likely is going to see you Darvish retire, that
Suarez is going to become a free agent, cease free agent.
You know, that team is going to look a lot
different than this was. And that's why they traded all
their prospects at the trade deadline to go get Mason
(33:35):
Miller and to get o'hearne and to get Furman because
they thought this team was good enough to win a
World Series, and before everybody left in free agency, they
wanted to make one more run at it. It's a
Dodgers team that's not playing with that sort of weight
on their shoulders like the Phillies are and like the
Padres were.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Well, Matt, it has certainly been exciting. I know Tim
Kates is excited saving his voice for the eight hours
of radio that he has to perform in the.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Next a real MVP eight hours.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
He is a bit of an MVP of our radio station.
I mean, I just got a text. It says the
bullpen sucks, you bitch, And it's like, why am I
going to be a bitch? I mean, yeah, I'm a bitch.
I'm you know, I have a hard time with anxiety.
I've been struggling. The Sanchez thing upset me. Sure, I'm
(34:29):
a bitch, But what does that have to do with
the bullpen? And if the bullpen isn't the bullpen, it's
just a bunch of starters now right then, then what
does it matter?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Three means of zero runs all out?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
I mean, I don't feel like I deserve that.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I don't think you do either, But hence is the
cross you bear by operating the textoso Matt.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
We've made it through forty two minutes of the show
without mentioning Lebron's next decision.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I would assume it'll be as disappointing as Tom Brady's
massive announcement. Sure, I would assume I'm guessing he.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Was going to retire or say this is his last year.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh no, I didn't even think about that. I assumed
he was going to like take some blood money to
go join a golf program for the Saudi's or something.
Maybe it's just too fresh in my mind with the
Tom Brady flag football thing. But I was like, yeah,
this is setting.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
To buy the Tom Brady flag football team.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I assume that's what I assume. This is like setting
up like oh yeah, this is going to be another commercial,
but it would be. Lebron asked for him to announce
his retirement before the season even started, that this will
be my.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Life so he can have like the full ball, full celebration,
the luxury executive wash.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Yeah. The'd be nice to me when you're talking about
Luca being the face of the league and the future
of the Lakers, because this is I know how.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I'll get the attention back from Luca. I'll make this
my last year and tell every good point.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But I do think like a mini golf tournament in
Saudi is still on the table always.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
I wish it was on the table for us. I
don't even golf, you and me both, I'd do it
in a second. How was your weekend? Coming up next?
Speaker 1 (36:24):

What's cracking? Everybody? Welcome back? It's Petterson Money on M
five seventy LA Sports. I just got a text that says, uh,
I always take a couple of hits during how is
your weekend? But it's very.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Early, Yeah, twelve fifty three hours earlier than the standard
how was your weekend?
Speaker 4 (37:17):
So it's time for how is your weekend?
Speaker 3 (37:19):
I'm gonna do what I do. The weekend is mine,
so your regond how was your weekend?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Well, I'll start hours your weekend with a special shout
out to Canute, who I ran into at the abbey
more on that in a second and said, how was
your weekend? Is the highlight of his Monday. And he
gets very excited about us going through it, and he says, man,
(37:46):
and then when that guy that works the buttons comes in, man,
that just sends me Howland? I said, all right, Canute,
So Ronnie enjoys your hours your weekend. Tip of the
cap to Canute. I serve for a couple hours Saturday
morning with Joe Kwan and the Good Doctor. I was
doing game prep and was able to watch a bunch
of college football, focused on the UCLA game. That was
(38:08):
a lot of fun. Watched the Dodger game with the family,
and there was the only thing that was real high
stress there was Preston was supposed to be at the
abbey for sound check at seven PM for their big
fifteenth anniversary party for Tom the owner. So we were
hoping that the Dodgers were able to close it out
in short order. Worked out. We got there by seven.
(38:30):
I was roady, I was sound engineer, all that sort
of stuff, and a great show, really fun. She played
for about an hour and a half two about two hours,
and a lot of folks came out. It was a
big seal beach to do. A few folks that we
haven't seen in a while, the Clarks, the Wilson's, and
got to see Canut who loves How was your weekend?
I was thinking it was like Newt, like Newt Rockney,
(38:51):
but he was but he said, I feel like he
really pronounced the k.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
I mean, if you know you have it, you know,
have it your way.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Do you know any other Newts or cants?
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Uh new Rockby.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
That's what I mean, that's the only one I know,
and to say, the k is silent. So uh sunday
Am I served again with again the good doctor joke
wan In this time Todd the chiropractor joined us.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
You know what she brought with you, the rear end.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yes, I went up to so far. It was a
depressing result I did.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
I've never seen Harbaugh so desponding in a press conference.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
All right, Normally he's kind of combative, and in this
it was almost like he just let the questions kind
of yeah, you're right, limit the mistakes like what like
I don't know, not rough in the kicker on a
fifty seven yard punt return for a touchdown. That's the
sort of mistake he was. It's it's one thing to
(39:49):
watch your team, I would assume as a coach man,
as someone who's calling the game, it's one thing to
watch him just lose a game, right, get out play
the other team's playing great, whatever, But to see the
way just the mistakes, which is not a calling card
of a Harbaugh team. They usually play clean football. This
is just the third time since he's been head coach
they've had eight or more penalties, and it's been twice
(40:11):
in the last two games, so I assume that's what
led to the despondent nature of his pressor. I did
a night live. I ate a sandwich for dinner, which
was also uns. I drank a Guinness.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I heard about it. I remember your Guinness days.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah, when I was running, I said, that's how I
got into it.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
And we often forget and the many machinations, the many
moons of Matt.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
There's so many.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Well, there's there's music Matt. There's professorial Matt. There's golf Matt,
and then well running Matt, and golf.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
There was Yeah, there was marathon or Matt.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
There was marathon Matt, and golf Matt and now surf
Matte and Roady Matt. Uh but absolutely Roady knows what
the roady nose.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Hey, Yeah, Guinness was it was. It was delicious. Needed
a little bit, a little bit more than just a
standard twelve ounce for that one last night.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
That's it and that was it.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I had a sandwich for dinner because Carrie and the
wife and Preston were at the studio putting the final
mix on a song, and I was like, are we
gonna have dinner? I'm kind of hungry. I didn't eat.
I don't really like to eat the press room food
it so far as much as I like chicken tenders,
I'm going to take a pass on that. And so
they were like, no, we're stuck at the studio and.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
You don't want to upset the rear end.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I had a sandwich. That's a bummer to have a
sandwich for dinner.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
I'm sorry they lost, but you go take it to Miami,
exactly right, all right, Kate.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Had a great weekend.
Speaker 10 (41:47):
Friday night, after the show, my wife and I went
over to Glendale City College to watch a Village Christian
play Heritage Christian and the annual Bible Bowl between two
small schools, and Village won the game, so that was exciting,
and we decided to go get a drink after and
there's a spotting Glendale that we've kind of stumbled upon
called We're Pouring. It's a restaurant in tap house that's
open kind of late, so we went over there.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
As Dallas rains on it.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Ah, I get it.
Speaker 8 (42:12):
Yeah, I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Rain oh poring.
Speaker 8 (42:16):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 10 (42:17):
I did try a Japanese beer called Hanamachi, which is
at Japanese rice Logger, which was really good, and I
did that hoping that the Dodgers would have a great
NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The North Carolina
Clemson game on Compass Media Network, which you could have
heard right here on Anti seventy turned out. It was
(42:37):
a blowout. It was twenty eight to three, I believe.
After one quarter. Bill Belichick, real classy, down by like
a million, decides to call two timeouts in the final
twenty seconds to try to run plays.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
When you're a games about right, boat.
Speaker 10 (42:51):
Raced in front of literally, I mean we joke about
dozens of people at games that you know, like Marlin's
games or whatever. There was literally dozens of people loved
at North Carolina for the end of that fourth quarter
of Clemson versus North Carolina.
Speaker 8 (43:05):
It was awful.
Speaker 10 (43:06):
Dodger pregame on Saturday and then Sunday Raiders pre have
him post against the Colts.
Speaker 8 (43:11):
So yeah, it's gonna be a fun season.
Speaker 10 (43:12):
At one and four and Pete Carroll looks like he's
not happy that the team is playing the weather playing.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Maybe Gino Smith wasn't the right move.
Speaker 10 (43:22):
We'll find out still early. It's only five weeks into
the season. So that was my weekend, Ronnie.
Speaker 9 (43:27):
Nice weekend for me.
Speaker 8 (43:28):
Everybody's waiting to see how your weekend is.
Speaker 9 (43:30):
Yes, creting a Newt or Newt. Friday night, following the
radio program, I was at home watching some college foosballa
sipping on a cold MODELO Especial, and I was texting
back and forth with our dear friend Victor Brick. Quite
the spirited back and forth that we were having, so
I decided to call him and we had a wonderful conversation.
(43:52):
He sounds great. We talked for well over an hour,
just getting caught up, sharing stories and talking about the Dodgers,
and it was certainly nice to speak with Vic and
his wife, Yuko, is doing well, as is Stony, and
he wanted me to send his love and his best
wishes to everyone here at the station. So there you
have it.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
From Bud to Brick.
Speaker 9 (44:12):
Saturday, I went to go get a hair cut, I
went to go buy a new car battery from my car,
and I took it for a wash. I made sure
to get all the necessary domestic chores out of the
way to clear the schedule for the Dodgers' playoff. Baseball
certainly didn't disappoint, as we celebrated with tacos in Modelo
especial afterwards. Sunday was all about the NFL, with some
(44:33):
NFL MLB playoffs sprinkled in between, and that was pretty
much it. That was my weekend.
Speaker 10 (44:39):
I do have to add one more thing for my
weekend about the football game. Our dear friend, Spiro Salty's
is the PA announceder at Glendell College and I recognized
the voice as soon as we walked in, and he
did a great job calling the game on the PA.
So it's wanted to shout him out, let him know
he did a great job.
Speaker 9 (44:57):
And another NEWT that I can think of would be
newt from Alien the Little Kid all.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Right, Okay, I forgot that the original Alien or Alien Aliens?
Speaker 9 (45:08):
Right, yeah, the Space Marines. What about you, Petros, How
was your weekend?
Speaker 4 (45:12):
Well? No, I struggled with some anxiety though my trip
this week was kind of upsetting to me. I'm trying
to get over it, and especially with the news about
like my last trip. You know, I go to Utah
and Charlie Kirk is killed and that becomes a whole
security thing. And now this one, you know, and I'm
(45:34):
already nervous as hell about everything for no good reason,
and then the Sanchez news really upset me. But I'm
trying to be more centered now. Thank you for your support.
I went to on Friday night the Mike Grantis fire
Pit and met with his brother in law and we
listened to Olden in the Way, which is an old
bluegrass Grateful Dead offshoot. And then on Saturday, I went
(45:58):
to yoga. No, maybe I didn't go to yoga, but
Fletcher had a football game and we got boat raced.
But we watched the game and all that. And then
Saturday night I was invited to a party at at
the Rolling Hills country Club. So I saw our friend
Derek and talked a lot to Derek. He put on
an amazing party. It's like the Rolling Hills Country Club's amazing.
(46:21):
It's like all the swells from the area that I live,
like Sampedro Rancho palas Verdi's Rolling Hills Estates behind the
gates Rolling Hills, except palas Verdi's Estates. All those people
go to the Palace Verdi's country Club, which is I'm
starting to learn and kind of figure.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Out the so is that which one are you supposed
to go to.
Speaker 4 (46:43):
Well, technically being a resident at Palas Verdi's estates, I
would imagine again I get like a discount or something.
But if I, if I had to belong to one
which I would never belong to either, it would be
the Rolling Hills Country Club. Most of my fathers, well
most of my father's for most of the people, you know,
I peep San Pedro people stuff like that are there,
(47:04):
and it's just I just like it better. And they
didn't fire my little brother for no good reason. So
that's another for no reason truly, for trying to discipline
a very undisciplined staff. But anyway, in a very gentle way,
I might add. But then on a Sunday, I went
to yoga and UH went to a barbecue at Renzo
(47:29):
Chiconi's house. Renzo and Heather Chaconi two of the finest
Italian Americans. Well she's married to an Italian American UH
in the area and a lovely family. They had a
great barbecue. And John Paisano, an old friend of mine
who is a movie scores movies in a very very
big time way. He's doing the new Zelda movie. It's
(47:52):
always great to talk to him, and Paisano has always
got something different going on. Now he's flying planes. He
used to have like the B eighteen simulator now you know, right,
And somebody told him like, dude, this is just ridiculous.
Why don't you just learn to fly at this point?
So that is what he's doing.
Speaker 8 (48:10):
Oh, man is Italian.
Speaker 4 (48:13):
He's an Italian from Detroit that I met when I
was a young man. Well there's Newt gr Gingrich.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
Oh yeah, that's Newt and that's that. That's any w
T right, I don't know. I think yes it is. Yeah,
Well I don't know.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
All right, we'll be back.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Thanks, Canute.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
We hope everybody's having a great day. We're on early
at noon. We're on early till two. We'll have your
word number song next David Vasse Dead and Alive, and
then get you to the Dodgers.
