seven second Saturday morning of himself in a press conference room,
(03:16):

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It blacks right out?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Are the retirements true? What's next?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
She did a terrible job delivering the line what are
you talking about? That was a live presser.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Where's my dramatic pause? Like, hey, Lebron, are the retirement
rumors true?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
What's next?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Are the retirement? What's next?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I mean, come on, there's terrible faded black and I'm
black and I'm black.
Speaker 2 (04:20):

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Are the retirement rumors true? What's next?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
What's next? Black? And I'm very excited? So and that,
but but excuse me, you heard me?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And then it's said Matt hashtag ad So, I don't
know what it's an ad for, maybe talkies, maybe cheetos.
Hey can we turn down this other broadcast? You know,
Matt and I are trying to make great sports talk here.
I don't want to hear these u c l A
ball Washing announcer.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Lebron captioned the tweet with quote ad I've been asking
my SAT Sports the same question in quote.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Hashtag ad oh, what is he going to retire? I've
been asking myself the same question.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's like, when am I going to retire these these
nikes and go to sketchers because I'm so old?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Are the retirement or what's next?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I already's moving into leisure world. That's what I heard.
It's an ad for leisure World. He's coming.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Wow, he's getting real local. I did not think he
gets so pinpointed local there. But anyway, we will find
out what Lebron is peddling. You know, we're not above
smoking pole and pedaling, but he should be.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Nobody smokes pole like us. Nobody does.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Nobody puts them without asking us. Nobody gets the scrunchy
out and puts their hair up right like us.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
All Right, it is time for the number of the name.
Number number of the day.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Oh the day.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It's thirteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Mentioned went to green cheek with the good doctor and
Glomar Bats CEO and founder refounder Guy Dad.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Mister Minter was having the classrooms a bay. Yes, like
not like vampire bats.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
No, Kyle Carross actually uses Glomar Bats well, he's a vampire.
So we to try to give you a picture of
the scene. You walk into Green Cheek. It is pinned
right up against pH and sunset beach. You open the
door and we are sitting at the first table. As
you open the door to enter the Green Cheek, closest
to the door, we are each consuming cheeseburgers and French fries.
(06:31):
I think Glomar bat Dad was eating a chicken sandwich
and a salad, considerably more healthy than the Good Doctor
and me. I have attacked the smash burger with great enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Half of it is gone.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
The doctor, on the other hand, has decided to snack
on his fries while his cheeseburger sits on his plate.
Impact So our backs are to the door. Glomar bat
Dad is facing the door. He is looking quizic on
an individual behind us that we're not paying attention to.
A woman then stuffs her head between the Good Doctor
(07:06):
and I and says, can I have a hamburger. Oh wow,
and I've already eaten half of mine, and I say no.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
They let like a homeless chicken there.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
She just because it's so close to the door. There's
no one able to stop her.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That happened at Cole's Downtown.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Happen at the Green Sheet. She then looks at the
Good Doctor and says, can I have a bike? He
says no, for sure. His burger is sitting on his plate.
She grabbed it like a cat.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
She grabbed his burger and gems it in her mind.
Nice and I did you block it? I grabbed her arm. Oh,
she could pull the burger into the bottle. Look at you, Matt,
and I'm holding on to it. She still got a
grip on his burger with her dirty hand, and then
I let it go. And I was like, I assume
I could. I'm the one that's gonna get busted.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
She should have died because all she wanted was a burger.
It's like smash it into her face. So she takes
a bite and as we staring at her in disbelief,
she then looks and ran and just runs out the door.
And we can see her high stepping it down p
h with her second bite. Now, how homeless is this?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ches?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
She was homeless? Like beat up, Yeah, like really beat down.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Tan in the face like Chave Chavez or a little
brat wider.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Incredibly much more tan than Chavez Javez. Uh. And she's
seen a lot of wear and tear and a belly
that would intimate that she were pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But no, it's like a starvation. It's like a starvation belly.
Distended belly. Yeah, it's like a starvation looking.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That's a distended man. So like we are the world.
Maybe that's why she needed the burger. Yeah, And so
although I don't I wouldn't if she was that starving,
I wouldn't recommend sprinting and eating a burger that fast.
She's gonna have some terrible indigestion. She's gonna have to
go and steal somebody's sandtag.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
And you know the good doctor and his personality, he's
a very subdued young He's just like, wow, why I
would imagine that the green cheek replaced it. They immediately
came over apologized.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Did they say that this is the first time somebody's
had their burger snatched?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
The gentleman said, I have been working here since we opened.
I have never seen that.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well, I think you see that type of thing, you know,
maybe at the Kettle in Manhattan Beach made at night,
you know, or all night days somebody snatches somebody's food
and there's a fistfight or something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Sunset Beach at one thirty in the act. Yeah, you wouldn't.
You wouldn't expect that.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Just the snatch was so impressive. I mean, can I
have a bite? No, immediately in her mouth and out
the door before we even knew what the hell was going.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I was reminded yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I spent some time with my one of my old
roommates from college, and I was reminded yesterday that we
had a very volatile relationship with our landlord's dog was
like one of those white furry dogs but kind of big.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I don't know what kind of.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Dog it is, and like a husky kind of like that,
but not you know, like that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But it was very Samoian.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, something, I said, you go and one time, like
it's sprinted into our house and like stared at us
and sat in the kitchen and just took a dump
on the floor while and stared.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
At us and then ran out and we were.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Like, damn, what happened? What an amazing show of supremacy.
And you know, like it reminds me of that lady
just grabbing it. But you know, like we we did nothing, nothing,
you know, and we and we fancied ourselves as man
of action, right, you know, nineteen year old college guys athletes,
and the dog just owned us. It was like, hey,
I'm gonna come here, and blue point and it looked
(10:27):
at us.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It was like this, and it new she did not
look at me. She grabbed that burger, I grabbed that arm,
and then she.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Now, were you digging your fingers Chuck Norris style into
her veins?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I got her right here, like right on the thin
of the thin part of her arm or wrist area,
and I had it held and why.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Didn't you do it? Why are you hitting yourself? Why
are you hitting yourself? Then I was like I gotta
let her go. This this ends badly. I don't know
how you rip her arma? Right Hamburgler right there?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, cats, But a tip of the cap to the
fine folks, green cheek.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Can they policed it immediately?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, hey, hey, green Cheek, some security.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Hasn't anybody ever heard of closing the goddamned close the
door green Cheek?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
As John and I were outraged, and he's like, yeah, man,
I was probably gonna give it to you anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And I felt that bad. I mean, I was like, wow,
she looks kind of hung. But it's better that way.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Now it's replaced, because the Green Cheek should have never
put andy like you should never be put in that
position as a diner, Like am I going to eat
the food that I ordered that's been presented to me
that I'm paying for and the tip and the brick
and mortar building?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Or am I going to be.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Made to feel guilty by the homeless person that's come
in and ask me for.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
A bite when I certainly have the means to purchase it.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It's like having a wiener dog on the floor staring
at you while guilty while you're trying to eat, Like
there's a recent restaurants don't do that.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
There's a reason you can't go to the Wiener dog
cafe and now the winder dogs stare at you. It's
not good.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It makes people feel bad about themselves. People don't want
to feel bad. They want to feel good with it,
the green cheek.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Can I have a bite? Can I have a bite? Noh?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
There used to be a bar in Sampedro that everybody
always wanted, a slap box, Like, Hey, you want to
go out back at slat box. It's like, no, I
don't want to have a drink. It's gonna become a fight.
I know what you want to do. Not have a bite.
You want the whole thing they're from. Modello's what I'm
here for?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Have a bite? Like she was just gonna take up.
She had this real mumby voice. Hey guys, can ever Hamburger?
It's like, what about Bob?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The song this is the song of the day. Yeah. Today.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Song of the day is called Satellite from a trio
called Two Door Cinema Club. As we are headlong into
an I'm a Horse, Modello meets a lot on Monday,
where the satellite is strategically positioned to send and receive
high quality digital audio live from Dodger Stadium, where the
Petros and Money Show is broadcasting from the usual spot
(12:51):
in the AM five seventy suite. Getting ready for four
games with those San Diego padres beginning tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
We're great sports talk.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
We'll walk you right up to Tim Kits and your
Morongo casino. Dig's on deck show from Dodgers Stadium coming
up at six o'clock.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Hey, you running, David Veasse gonna join us in a
moment as we.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Get oh at the fifty David ves get a judge
to the back end of the hour. We have a paratax.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Anyway, and we kind of figure out who this Japanese
reporter is we're putting on.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, we haven't even discussed that. Who put this together
for us?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Joe, Joe, Jared, I'll tell you how it happened.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
This is very exciting.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Oh no, Next, We've made it even easier to take
LA Sports with you this summer. Make AM five to
seventy or your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast
(13:52):
a preset on the iHeartRadio app using Apple car Play
or Android.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Auto road Trip all summer with LA Sports. Buckett is
the pitching debut of show.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Hey Otani about eighteen months removed from his arm injury,
obviously MVP campaign last year World Series Championship at the Plate,
and tonight for the first time, he will pitch in
a Dodger uniform and it is also Blake Snell Bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Matt Well, we.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Got to mention that because David Vesse is coming on
next it is Blake Snell Bobblehead Night. No, you kind
of forgot that he's a Dodger.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
A lot of media down there, especially for a Monday
Dodgers padres is a big deal. Blake Smell Bobblehead Night
is a big deal. Petrosen Money Sweet Night is a
big deal. But show TONI making his pitching debut is
the biggest deal about time.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And what we were told is that show Hay.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Him pitching has caused all this influx of media as
you see down there, Matt freaking Madhouse World series asquer
just like the Dodgers Yankees the other day, you see
the Japanese fans rolling in with their cameras out right now.
They just open up the gates about ten minutes early tonight,
so people are rolling into Dodger Stadium as we speak.
(15:15):
One of the most anticipated nights we've ever been to
at Dodger Stadium, and Hopon kviv A Hopon is a
big part of tonight and Tim Kits because of that,
has booked us a Japanese reporter. Now, we ask David
Vassay to help us book a Japanese reporter, and he
said he just he kind of waffled, you know what
(15:37):
I mean, he vacillated for a.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Little bit too long.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Well, you almost feel like he doesn't want to give
us his relationship one hundred percent men, that he's got
his relationships with his favorite Japanese reporters and he does
not want to share them.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Wow, I didn't even think of him as that diabolical,
which you're absolutely right, Matt, that Vassay is protecting his sources,
his sources from the Pacific RIM. Now, so Tim kaits
not to be thwarted because he thought the Japanese media
thing was a big was a big get. Tim Kates
(16:11):
went Dodger PR pivot and asked Joe Jerk of Dodger
PR if there was a Japanese media member that we
think we could bring into Great Sports Talk and make
an interview sports talk out of it today for something
a little different, as opposed to having Jay Hare and
Eric Caros on or something like that. Because today's a
(16:33):
big deal to celebrate show Aotani despite the Blake Smell
Bobblehead night and that you just mentioned.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Who did we book?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
We booked the great Natsuko Aoki. She is a Japanese
baseball writer for Tokyo Sports.
Speaker 2 (16:51):

Individual results may vary.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Playing the Bill McDonald role of spoiler tonight on television
Spectrum Sportsnet on TV, David Vase, It's like Kobe's eighty
one against Toronto when Billy Mack replaced Joel Myers. David
Vasse our Dodger reporter Katona.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vasse Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Of course, he works here at the radio station AM
five seventy LA Sports. You can hear him every day
that the Dodgers are on, basically, and he will be
on tonight on Maronglo Casino Dodgers on Deck but you
also see him on Spectrum Sports net LA. He suited
and booted and ready to go. Dave, this happened pretty fast.
Why did it happen so fast because we thought differently
(23:52):
when it came to well Tawny pitching.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
Yeah, the Dodgers GM Brandan Gomes just had a press
conference and he said this decision was made in the
last twenty four to forty eight hours to have Otani
start tonight, And basically Otani was going to the Dodgers
and saying, what else do I have to do to
get into a game? Because my bullpens have been electric.
My simulated game for three innings in San Diego was electric.
(24:18):
And also it's getting harder to throw a simulated game
at one thirty in the afternoon and then come back
and play a game at seven ten. So the plan
hasn't changed to build him up post All Star break,
just the method has changed. So tonight, Dave Roberts said,
it's a short stint, likely not going to be more
(24:40):
than two innings.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Next time out.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
A little longer and a little longer, and by the
time they get to the other side of the All
Star Game, he's going to be built up like a
normal starting pitcher, but this is more conducive to otani
body responding to playing as a DH and also pitching.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Is this the one question that I have now heard
asked and I expect you to answer, Dave, he's just
all right for the Dodgers, Like, is this just basically
Otani as your opener, like they would have an opener
just knowing that it. Padre is know how to hit,
you know, at the top of the lineup. Is this
going to tax the bullpen a little bit? Or kind
of like, what are we looking at from a practical
perspective with Otani doing this?
Speaker 8 (25:18):
This doesn't work without my guy Ben Casparius being available
and more willing guy.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
He's kind of hard guy too, though I know loves us.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
He wants you to believe that because he wants to
be invited back on this, But he's our guy.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I'm just messing with you, guys.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
And without without him being physically able and more importantly
willing to go from a high leverage reliever to being
in the starting rotation and now piggybacking Otani starts, this
doesn't work. It wouldn't work if it was a lesser picture,
but it works because Ben Casparius can do this and
(25:59):
is willing to do this, and you're going to see
him pitch bulk innings tonight.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
How does it.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Work with Otani hitting as a DA. He can't hit
while he's pitching, So how does that work? So as
long as he's pitching, he doesn't get to hit.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
No, there's the Otani rule where even when he comes
out of the game he's still allowed to still be
in there as the DH.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
But here's something interesting. But when he's pitching, he can hit.
There's no other DH. While he's pitching, he is the DH.
So he does both. He does both.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
So if he's pitching the second inning, he can still
bat in the first slot as the DH in the
bottom of the first.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yes, oh, look, that's what's happening.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
He's going to pitch the top of the first inning
and be the leadoff hitter for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
And I just ran into one.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Of the the umpire overseers, former Major league umpire Brian Gorman,
and I asked him, you know, with the pitch clock,
will he have enough time coming off the mound to
get all his equipment, his elbow guard, his gloves on
before the pitch clock expires, and he said it's going
to be similar to a catcher that makes the last doubt,
(27:03):
they give him extra time to put the gear back on.
So they are going to give Otani extra time in
the bottom of the first inning after he comes off
the mount. So, Brian Gorman, I just talked to him,
thirty year major league umpire, now one of the overseers
for the league.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I was you mentioned that, like, isn't that the same
for any position player that puts on a lot of
armor and stuff like, wouldn't that be the same for
them when they come off the field to kind of
or is it different for a pitcher you got to
do something else or whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Cool down or I don't know, I don't they get checked, Yeah,
you get checked with the.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Hands attacked, and more importantly, it's more taxing.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Position pitchers and catchers have always been treated differently. But
you know that's the reason why Dave Roberts said also earlier,
this is a new experience for all of them. There
may be a time when Otani is not leading off
when he starts as a pitcher because just might be
too taxing. So I could imagine as this continues to
(28:01):
build that when he pitches, he may not.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Be the leadoff hitter. He's licking his chot. I mean, yeah,
I'm back. We talked about this.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
I don't know if you guys heard me, but I
did some research last year. On average in Major League Baseball,
the leadoff hitter only got thirty three more played appearances
than the number three hitter last year on average, So
it's not that big of a difference, and also gives
as to come up with more guys with scoring position.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
And they can adjust now that he's, you know, not
not he's pitching.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
They were.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
He was a leadoff guy when he wasn't pitching, So
this is a whole different thing. We've never seen him
pitch in southern California. It's not like he pitched for
six years with the Angels.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
What what kind of pitchure is he? What?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What can people expect from Otani as a pitcher. I mean,
we know what Yamamoto's like and his splitter, and you know,
Blake Snell walking all them dudes, But what but what's
O'tani like? Okay, like that, we'll get there. We'll keep
shot you like that chepshot from the Birthday Boy. What'stani
like as a pitcher?
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Dave Well Thomas Albert, the head trainer for the Dodgers,
told me in San Diego, Otani hit ninety six miles
an hour on his fastball in that simulated game, So
he's gonna have ninety six, maybe even tick up to
ninety seven with the adrenaline of tonight. He and I
talked to one of the hitters that faced Otani, one
of those minor league hitters, and he told me the
(29:22):
best pitch he saw from Otani was his sweeper. So
you're going to see ninety six ninety seven fastball, You're
going to see his cutter, you're gonna see his splitter,
and you're gonna see the sweeper and sweeper.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
So, honestly like it's going to be a one or
two inning short stint tonight. How much does he unveil
out of that repertoire? I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
What if he's daling. What if it's like a six
pitch first inning and eleven pitch seconding and you see
and let him do a little you know, baseball dingo here,
Dave little updown three times?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Can you see that?
Speaker 8 (29:55):
That's why the Dodgers are not boxing themselves in. But
you know what they always talk about. It's not so
much the pitches, it's the up and downs, going back in,
the dugout, coming back out. So I don't see the
Dodgers allowing him to do it more than twice.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
What's his I mean, you're around him all the time,
you travel with his team. I know he's, as they
say in the Baseball World, on his own program, But
what's his preparation? Like, have you noticed anything wacky about
his preparation or his demeanor today as far as what
it's normally like on a normal day, Well, you might
be talking to the only media member that O'tani gave
(30:30):
knuckles too on the way in tonight.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Yep, yep. I saw him coming in the hallway. I
saw him walking towards the clubhouse. In the hallway, I
was standing outside, and you know, starting pitcher day, you
don't want to look at him. I felt like I
was going to give him the curse shot treatment. I
just kept my eyes down and he started to drift
towards me, big smile. I gave him a Buenos Das
and he knuckled me up walking.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But what about like, you know, the restretled me up
the rest of the talking, the rest of the routine.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
What else is here? What about? What about Blake Snell? Dude?
I asked.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
I asked Mark Gubazov, by the way, as well, if
O'tani is as ocd as some other pitchers like Kershaw
about preparation, and he said absolutely, as you get closer
to first pitch, he is very, very detail oriented. There
was some ceremony at Angel Stadium when he was pitching
that day, and the ceremony went a little bit too long.
(31:30):
You know, Tani Son was not very happy.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Oh, seven to ten. Everybody knows game starts a seven ten.
That's right. What about Blake Snell? Dave? What?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Who cares about your bobblehead? Heytani's making his debut pitching tonight.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't know. Upset.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Main event happened at three o'clock snell Zilla's bullpen session.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I was there for. I witnessed it.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
Yeah, he was popping the Chico Herrera's catcher's mitt, hitting
ninety four, ninety five, even ninety six.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Next step is going to be to face or so.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
He's trending in the right direction and things are looking
really good for the Dodgers coming out of the All
Star break with built up Otani, Glass now and Snell
back in the rotation.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
What about Sasaki? What about him? What happened today? Built
up this guy? Built up that guy? Hey, rookie Sazaki? Wait,
so what happened with Sasaki?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
They said he said he was, they said he wasn't
good to go, and then all of a sudden he
was good to go.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Did what did he not show up for something? Dave
Roberts said yesterday? Yeah, they're preparing not to have him
pitch the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That put him on alert.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Oh yeah, he was throwing I guess playo balls today,
keeping the arm moving. But you know everybody wants to
take cheap shots at Blake Snell. Rookie Sazaki is nowhere
near what Glass said Snell are doing.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Don't you bring your straw man argument to this conversation.
All right, Blake Snell on his bibblehead. They should be
on the mom pitching, and he was at three o'clock
a bullpen session.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Yeah, hey, you know, I'll get you an autographed snail
Zilla bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
And are you how much you're going to push the
Snell agenda? I mean, this is a big night, This
is a big night on the air day. How much
you're going to push that agenda?
Speaker 8 (33:10):
When Joe Davis and Arykarro's come down to me for
an Otani update, I might just go Rogue's about Hey, hey, Joe. Yeah,
we'll get to Otani in a second. But Blake Sneill
threw another bullpen session today. How about that, Joe?
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Did you get Blake to give his read on how
old TONI looks out there? You know, hey, I like
that there you go that way, you know, you're kind
of like middle ground.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
He's a student of the game.
Speaker 8 (33:34):
He told me that picture from the Giants that gave
up six runs in an inning and two thirds wasn't
made for the lights and we saw that happen.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh, he would know he was there.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Up.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think was his name, Landon Rupe. Blake said, a
good picture.
Speaker 8 (33:48):
Likes him a lot, but he might be a little
nervous coming out tonight, and he was.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
That's a big deal. They got Devers.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Huh, huge deal because they can't get any free agents
to sign with them, so they never just go suck
so bad. I guess, so, I don't know. Maybe the
ballpark has something to do with it. Too hard place
for hitters to mash. But that's the reason why Buster
Posey pulled the trigger on this. Can't get a free
agent to sign with him. They got a legit, power
hitting left handed hitter to help them out.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
They're coming for your Dodgers, the Giants. Yeah, my Dodgers.
That's right holding the La Dodgers microphone. Tonight on Spectrum
Sports at LA. We love you, Dave. Do you know
anything about this reporter? We're talking to you later. She's

That has been the tramp. Nobody likes you when you're
forty eight. We'll be right back with more petros and money.
One final hour as we get all ramped up for
Otani's very first start ever as a pitcher. He's never five.
This is his very first pitch. What what? This is
(35:07):
the very first time all Tony's ever pitched ever, and
we're all over it here on Am five seventy, LA Sports,
you can't buy this seat tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Math. We're right here ground zero for.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
The war, oh Kiddney, And right now we give away
a pair of tickets to tomorrow's Dodgers Padres game eight
six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. We'll have
one more pair to give away between now and the
end of the show Caller ten eight sixty six nine

answers the phone, say thank you to Ronnie for reminding
us that we forgot during that compelling conversation with Dave.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Yeah, we were gonna give the tickets to a couple
of Snell bobbleheads and just sit them down.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
That's right,
