Patrous Money, seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
No Doubt Your Baseball till Friday. That will be Game
one of the twenty twenty five World Series from the
Galpin Motors Broadcast Booth. It will either be played here
if Seattle wins this Game seven, or it will be
played there in Toronto Game one. If they win this
game seven, Toronto one more win than the Dodgers, so
(01:13):
they would host the first two, and the last two
if needed, Dodgers would have the three in the middle
for Toronto. Otherwise they will host one and two. Three
in the middle go to Seattle. So that'll happen on Friday.
Between now and then, though short, a lot of play
by play coming your way, including tonight it's seven PMP
with Monday Night football.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yes, Texans Seattle tonight. I know a lot of people
are hustling to get to that one. So no Dodger
Talk seven o'clock Texans versus Seattle. There's two NFL games tonight,
one of them is going to be on this station,
and then tomorrow we'll do a four hour show. Like
you said, a big thank you to Dave Roberts who
(01:54):
joined us made it awesome in the first hour. We'll
talk to Jim Bowden in the very next segment, and
then Daniel Jeremiah is going to join the show and
we'll have some se Notre Dame talk and we'll have
a top story of the day. So a lot going on,
a lot of dishes to wash essay until seven o'clock,
and a big thank you to the reluctantly here fully
(02:16):
functional employee Adam of now that he's a national radio host.
Seems like he's a little too above hitting the buttons.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
He's got two hours and fifty two minutes left home.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, yeah, count it down. I hope you're doing okay,
you do?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Did you do? Rogan and Rodney earlier at him for
like forty five minutes.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
No, I was here on the board, and I don't
know if they knew I was here on the board,
so they didn't utilize.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Me, right, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, But he sat there for Rogan and Rodney for
three hours, which is like being an editor in an
edit bay, where your face turns, you know, to like
an old man. You know, like when you chose poorly
in the Last Crusade, you get old right away, and
then your body turns into a bunch of bones and
slams against the wall. I thought your brain just turned
(03:03):
into suit. No, No, that's the that's the melting non see.
Then that's just when Fred when he's with a co host, that's.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Ah, that's yeah, I got you. That's one half of
the show.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, it is time though, now, Matt, I think you
mentioned this. It was you, or maybe it was I
think it was you. But it is time for the
word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
His words, the word of the day.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
They just won't have it anymore, Matt. They're just they're
too many tortillas flying and it's become a huge problem.
They used to throw tortillas around in Lubbock, Texas and
Texas Tech games when somebody scored a touchdown, could be
you could be the opponent, but the tortillas would fly.
And now the Big Twelve and Brett your mark, the
(03:50):
Big Twelve commissioner, they're trying hard to crack down on
the tortillas flying. They are fining, they are giving fifteen
yard flags. What is it, fifty thousand dollars per tortilla?
Fifty k if the tortillas fly. The tortillas did not
fly at Arizona State, even though Texas Tech lost their
(04:11):
first Big twelve game, first game of the year actually,
but their first conference game they lost. They have Oklahoma
State coming up at home, and they're gonna beat Oklahoma
State even if the tortillas fly. But Kirby hoe Cut,
Texas Tech athletic director and now the overseer of the
highest payroll in the nil college football world, Texas Tech
(04:34):
got some big money. A and M like money, and
they have a really good looking team this year, and
up until last Saturday, they'd won every game by a
big margin. I mean they even beat the crap out
of Houston, who's doing a great job into Big twelve
this year. But here's our guy, Kirby hoe Cut, pleading
with the people of Lubbock. No more tortillas.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
The stakes are too high and we need to help
not risk penalizing our team again for throwing tortillas. Simply
must not do it. The situation is on me. I
leaned into this of throwing tortillas at the beginning of
the football season. Now I must ask everyone to stop myself,
(05:18):
ask our staff to enforce it on game days. I
close and we'll turn it over to coach maguire, asking
our students and our fans to continue to make Jones
at and T Stadium the best environment in college football.
And I don't know how they will do it, but
I am confident that our fans and our students are
about to make the Jones even louder than it's ever
(05:40):
been before.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Oh he ended it with a compliment, which is great.
How much do you think that the students are going
to listen?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I didn't come to Texas town because of the exceptional
physics program.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I came here to do two things, smoke weed and
tilla's and we're out of weed. Understand that I did it.
Responsible for this. I told you all to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But I was wrong, dinky hole cut.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's my fault. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I leaned into it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
The steaks are too high. We need we need to help. Simply,
let's not do it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Let's throw a tortillas.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Dude, it's not that bad to get hit with a tortilla.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Unless you're doing that slap test when they're wet.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Well, that's all that get them all wet. How do
you get it out? You know you can't get it out.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Please, everybody stop throwing totis.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, they do this cool thing down in Lubbick where
they score touts and they throw It's bad. You can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It is now preventing our team from winning football.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Steaks are too damn high.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
The steaks are too high, and we need to help,
not risk penalizing our team again for hey, thank you,
simply not do it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I believe you are incorrect. It is not the mistake,
it is the period.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Mister hoot. I believe that you are wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Look so one guy has one tough piece of milanaise misteak.
Now you can't stop talking.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Uh number is three, three and one weekend. I'll take
it ten and eleven. On the season, money Bucket said
that we were seven and ten going into week seven,
had a three and ohero record going into the the
late window there. Unfortunately the commanders could not hold up
and give me my first bill in zero week. So
(07:45):
I am going to go with the rock Fight. We're
broadcasting right here tonight seven pm as the Lions and
Bucks are already underway, So can't pick that one. Two
weeks to prepare for Jamico Ryans and that Texans defense.
Sam Darnold a monster season former Petrosen money guest friend
of the show. Some wondered when it happened, Well, move
on from Gino for a one year wonder like Sam Donald,
(08:09):
But he and Jackson Smith and Jigba have been made
sweet music up in Seattle this season.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Donald won sixteen, got Pete Carroll fired in Seattle, and
now they brought him down to the Riders to get
him fired again.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Tom Brady does not like it very much. Smith fifteen
yards per game. They however, have not seen a defense
like this yet. They did play Pittsburgh, they were not
great when they faced him in week two.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
T J.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Watts still rounded into form forty nine ers week one
when they were healthy, did a number on Donald and Seattle.
The Texans defense is better, way better than that. You
can put Derek Stingley, arguably the best cover corner in
the league on JSN and maybe wipe him out. Seattle
running game is not great three point seven per carry.
That's twenty ninth in the league. And again, this Texans
defense allowing twelve point per game. So why are they
(09:01):
two and three? Well because their offense sucks. Seattle's defense
not far behind nineteen points per game. Last three they
have averaged five sacks per game, and the Texans offensive
line is one of, if not the worst, in football.
So it has not been kind to me. Just taking
a team and betting the spread has been the way
(09:24):
that we've been successful. A number of those losses are
because we've taken under overs, but don't like either of
these offenses against these defenses. So we are going to
take the under under forty one, and we're envisioning a
thirteen to ten style game that you'll hear on the
radio here.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Why are you so pissy?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Leon?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Why are you so pissy? No, I'm just answering your guy.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You are whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I ask you a question?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So pissy about the under man?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Very good one?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
What does it matter? You know? You want scoring on
the radio? Fifty points, seven hundred points?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Nobody like it's like playing. It's like playing that don't
pass line at the craps table. Who wants a thirteen
to ten game? Why are you projecting that? I want
to drive home, sit in traffic, listen to Sam Darnold.
Some do some things, and instead we're projecting like twenty
three total points and trying to get back to five
hundred going into the weekend.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Well, good luck to you, Matt. Oh by the way,
by the bye bye the bye. I do remember this.
My brother Tosso played with the nineteen ninety four USC
team against Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl when they
played it in the Cotton Bowl before you know At
and T Stadium was built, right and the Tortillas flew
(10:36):
in Dallas. I remember him coming home the Cotton Bowl
and talking about how the Tortillas flew in Dallas and
Zach Johnson, the Miami linebacker, was on that Texas Tech
team and Keishawn Johnson was out there running around, so
the tortillas were fine there. No one was upset then.
But now it's like they sound like, you know, like
like you're like you're shooting a gun in the sky,
(11:04):
you know. Then the other the other thing I said,
other than this, my other favorite sound so far from
this college football season is Barry Alvarez telling the Wisconsin
people that don't boo at Camp Randall, go booing a bar.
And it's like, let's say I was at like a
bar we really had fun at Like September's right in
the Inland Empire. I'm not why would I boo the bar.
(11:28):
I'm having a great time here. They got fried pickles,
I'm drinking. I don't want to I'm not booing these
the hard working waiters and waitresses of September. Why would
I boo in a bar like booing at the game
to show that you're dissatisfied with the product you're paying for,
that is really the only appropriate place to boo. Like
(11:50):
Barry Alvarez is totally backwards on the boo and a bar.
Booing at a bar is inappropriate, right, Like you can
give a couple of collaps when your team scores or something.
I mean, you don't have to act like you did it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
But but no, if you're at a bar, you're just
gonna drop an F bomb.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Yeah or yeah, but you're not gonna sit there and
get him out of here.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You know that's distracting to the other patrons. And I
think booing at a bar is completely inappropriate as opposed to,
you know, just booing at the game, which is where
people boob. So you're wrong, Barry Alvarez. You are wrong.
I respect you, I respect the zone running, but you're wrong.
(12:37):
You're wrong to say they can't boo in a bar.
That's my talk. All right, it is time for the
song of the day. Hold on, let me pull it up.
I'm not good at this, like Matt, I'm not all
fast with my fingers.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You know, Matt requested this one. Oh yellow bi cold
plays the Chargers or in the yellow out or the
yellow Rush jerseys. The mustard didn't go so well. Somehow,
Justin Herbert still threw a pick to the team wearing
white in the back of the end zone Chargers lost.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And it's he can't say that he didn't see his guys. No,
they're right there.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I heard it was tough on the broadcasters too, no
good defense. Yeah, I was couldn't read the numbers.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You gotta smile through that smile he oh yeah. We'll
be right back with the guy who has yellow hair.
She boded.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He does.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Will join us in the very next segment to talk
about the greatness of the Dodgers and the potential World
Series matchup game seven to night between Seattle and Toronto
on De Grassy Street. We'll be right back. Stick with
us on I'm a Horse Monday, and I know that
'll meet you a lot of Monday on petrols and money.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
App using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all
summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Just saying Monay five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app, making our way to Monday Night football tonight.
Yes it's a double header, so we will have Seahawks
versus Texans at seven pm all week long. Though, remember
every morning beginning at six am, you start your day
with Scams, Sacks and Kate's and the am all Dodger
(14:43):
coverage as we make our way toward World Series Game
one on Friday. Dodger sitting around for a full week
before they are back in action. Pee, but that doesn't
mean the people do want to keep talking and hearing
about it.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Oh, we got to pump it off. We wanted him.
We saw him out at Dodger Stadium, but he was
on the radio and sweet Louis Vauton sweatsuit Valoor looking
good looking ready velvet. It was Valure. Jim Bonen, MLB
general Manager, mastermind. You hear him on the MLB Network radio.
(15:17):
We assume that's what he was doing. You read him
on the Athletic. He's on CBS Sports Network at Jim
Bonen gm on X. Been on the show many times.
We always appreciate his insight. It's a lot to discuss
as he's had a front row seat to the Dodger
domination in these playoffs. So we're gonna pump it up.
(15:39):
Man who had Cincinnati bubbling the Ohio River Turned the
Red Jim Boden on the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline,
what's cracking, Jim? How are you?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
It's been a great postseason so far, and this Dodger
team nothing gets more excited, you know, to be there
at Dodger Stadium when I got to witness the greatest
performance of any athlete in the history of sports, to
watch show Shoey o'tani punch out ten, throw a two
hitter through six and then sit there and at three
(16:16):
home runs like even Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron, James
tom Brady. Of all the great things all these people
have done in sports, no one has had a better
game than he had on Friday. And to be able
to be there and witness it and see it with
all the Dodger fans, that's a memory I promise you
I'll never forget. It was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Oh well, I mean, I wanted to ask you about it,
and that's a great answer, because it just feels like
and you've done this for a living for many years,
identifying talent, and you have great relationships throughout the generations
in baseball, but we seem to lack perspective on what
Otani's doing because it's just not done. I mean, is
(16:57):
that I don't know, what do you think about? That
makes it kind of hard.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Well, yeah, because I believe he's artificial intelligence. I don't
think he's a human being. Just being around him, the size,
the way he walks, how much Funny has when he's
the hing, and then he becomes a heavyweight fighter when
he goes to the mound. I mean, I just kind
of feel like he was programmed. I think, you know,
I won't be surprised today we find out and someone says,
we're just kidding. He was artificial intelligence the whole time.
(17:24):
I mean, look all kidding aside, we've never seen anything
like this, Like, you know, it's funny. When he was
coming over, everyone talked about he's the babe Ruth from
Japan coming over, and yeah, it was cool. He got
to do both ways, but not at this level. Like
nobody saw this. There's never been a human being Nick
could do this. And he goes on the mound and
(17:44):
he's a true ace. Punched out ten and friggin pitching
the Dodgers for the World Series and oh, by the way,
here's three home runs too. And oh, by the way,
he's gonna win the Nation League MVP again, Like, look,
it's an honor to prove it's to cover him because
he's such a cool guy too. I saw the postgame
interview when he says, what do you want to say
back to Japan? And he said, I want to say
(18:05):
to everyone in Japan and the USA, let's all get
a glass of saki and toast, Like, let's bring everybody together.
We'll have some saki and toast. This it was phenomenal.
But I'll tell you what even more than that, to
watch the Dodgers in the Philly series and then this
last series against the Brewers. You know, I asked Dave
Roberts on the field before Game four. I said, Dave,
(18:27):
you know, watching this team in the regular season, it
was a ninety three win team. That's what it was.
That's what the facts say, that's what it looks like.
But it looked like a mid nineties team, like a
really good team that could win the World Series, a
great team. But the team I've witnessed in the last
two series is one hundred and twenty win team. Like
everything came together in October exactly the way Andrew Friedman
(18:48):
and Dave Roberts and Brandon Goldhins designed it like when
you get through the season, Blake, tell me, at eleven starts,
that's it. They didn't worry about it. You know, they
only had one pitcher that made thirty starts, that was
Yoshinoba Yamamoto. Because they've planned for October the whole year,
and when they have an injured picture ready to come back,
they just say, yeah, you wait, you just wait, we
(19:08):
got twelve pictures. Don't worry. We'll wait, We'll wait, We'll
extra couple weeks. We need you in October. You know,
we don't really care about the regular season. We're gonna
get there anyway. We're so good, but we want to
peak in October. Like that's a plan that they do
and it works, and it worked. And to watch those
four pitchers sweet Milwaukee, let me tell you this, if
they were facing the twenty seven Yankees, the forty six
(19:30):
Red Sox, the ninety eight Yankees, the seventy five Reds,
they would have swipped them to Okay, we have never
seen four starters dominate ever in the postseason the way
they've dominated four consecutive games, and to Dave Roberts credit.
It wasn't a quick cook on any of them. Yes,
stay in the log, snall eate in THEMS. No problem,
you only face twenty four batters. Best postseason start we've
(19:53):
seen since Howady threw the no hitter or maybe Linsikam's
fourteen strikeout game. I mean, are you kidding me? Like?
It was just it was so if you're a Dodger fan,
you should be giddy because, as I asked Dave Roberts,
is this the best Dodger team you have ever managed?
He's been there ten years. Oh, yes, absolutely it is.
I both agree with Dave Roberts. This is one of
(20:14):
the greatest teams. And I want everyone to understand this
is a different team in October than we saw in
the regular season. This team is one hundred and twenty
win This team is special, and I feel sorry tonight
because whoever gets to celebrate, whether it's Toronto or Seattle,
whoever gets to celebrate will then be eliminated in five
(20:35):
games in the next round.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So then I guess you don't share, because the only concern, really,
Jim was the bullpen, Like, hey, you're gonna be in
one of these tight games it's gonna bite you. We
saw it in that game one against Milwaukee where it
almost got him trying and gets you know, a chase
on a high strike outside of the zone that would
have made things real interesting. That's not a concern for
you at all against the Toronto team. That's if that's
(21:00):
the team that comes down here that they end up
tangling with. With all that offense they have, still the
starter's just too dominant. Because it felt like we got
away from that for a while, right like, oh, you
better have a really good bullpen. It's not so much
starting pitching anymore. You gotta have the bullpen to close
these things out.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Yeah. So now you had a week off and now
we're just going to ride the starters. Zader spent all
that money on the starting rotation for this. This is it.
We're not protecting them anymore. It's not the regular season
where you're going five. You're going six and we're going
to save you for October. Oh no, no, no, we've
already done all the saving. Now the pedals of the medal.
Now you guys go deep because our weakness, which is
(21:38):
the bullpen, we're going to eradicate because we're not going
to let relievers pitch, so we'll let the sake close
the ninth, you know, we'll let try and and you know,
maybe set up or close. We'll let Bessie. We're happy
with those three. If we have to use band and dryer,
it's okay. You know, I'll try to get kersharl a
blow out if I can, just so the fans can say,
go buy one more time. But no, this series is
(22:00):
going to be the same thing as the other one.
You're gonna you're gonna ask Snowy Glass and and Otani
to run the table, which they're capable of doing.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Again.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
I figure probably in the next round they lose one,
just because teams lose even if you're great. But I
just expect them to pitch deep and so they're not
gonna ask much from the bullpen. The bullpen certainly won't
be tired like the Blue Jays or Mariners bullpen, which
is gonna be totally exhausted because all they've done is
pitch inning after inning. Dodgers are set up exactly the
(22:29):
way they want to be set up. It couldn't You
couldn't start a World Series with any major League team
that I can remember in twenty five years in a
better position than the Los Angeles Dodgers are right now.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It's been wild to watch, and really the bullpen thing
was sort of fixed with the Sasaki and watching how
dominant he was closing games out, specifically that three inning
stint against Philly when when he hasn't out he when
when when you're a GM as you were Jim and
you see someone have an outing like he did in
game one, then you're trying to figure out, Okay, what
was it was working before? You have such a limited
(23:01):
sample size from this guy in that particular role, Like
how deep do you have to go? Is it just
a conversation with the pitcher, like what are you guys
doing to try to make sure that the next time
you send him out it looks like it did every
other time as opposed to that one hiccup.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Yeah, you don't know. And I feel better if Trin's
behind him to have plan be ready, right, But I
think you've got a plan be ready. I don't think
it's a sure thing, you know. The thing he's so
different than Otani and Yamamoto. Otani and Yamamoto are really tough,
right competitors. I mean they compete at the highest level.
Sisaki is not. But as Dave Roberts, the manager, told
(23:39):
me last week, he's learning to be tough or he's
getting tough. We're watching him get tough right now. I mean,
this is the guy that battled all year along with
the impingement, and then he went down. He didn't have
any velocity, and then he got with the drive line guy,
and then all of a sudden, the VLO got there.
And now he's peaking at the right time in the
biggest moments. Throwing forget one hundred and four with a
split finger, by the way, that I think the forkball
(24:00):
not a foot thing that you just can't hit when
it's in the zone because it just tumbles and I
don't care who you are not going to hit it.
So for him, it's only about command and control. Throw strikes.
If he throws strikes, he's going to get the job
done because the stuff screams it one hundred and four
with a forkball like that or split finger, he calls
it like that. You're not going to hit it, just
put in the zone. The only thing that worries you
(24:21):
if he gets behind and he walks a guy or
walks two guys hits a batter that you know, that's
when you can get in trouble. So that would be
my only concern that I have. But that's why you
got to have, you know, people to back them up.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
What about the great Jim Bowden joining us right now
MLB Radio and of course the athletic a great GM
and a man of organized thought. You have a better
perspective than most on this. What about this narrative that
we're hearing now from of course from out of town,
but that the Dodgers are ruining baseball and they've taken
(24:51):
advantage of something that others can't. What do you make
of that?
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I make that they're doing everything that I would have
wanted to do in life, and every fan should think
the same way. I want to have one of the
highest payrolls. I want to be able to get the
best players in the world in the same place. I
want to be able to win games, win World championships.
That's what I want. The Dodgers have done everything right
with the money they have. The Mets have a higher payroll.
(25:17):
How are they doing? Oh I didn't see him in
the postseason? Did you? Where were they? They have all
the money. Yeah, they didn't know where to be found,
are they? Yeah? Right? Aren't they the ones that gave
Sodo seven hundred and sixty five million dollars? You know,
you look at Otani, they gave him four hundred. People
talk about seven hundred and that's present value is four hundred.
(25:37):
And by the way, they made that up because they're
smarter than everybody else. They've already sold marketing deals. He's
paid for already. They knew what they were doing. Sorry,
if they know how to operate, you know, I mean,
let's Mark Walter standcast and they know what they're doing.
They're crushing everybody in the in the business room, in
the boardroom, on the field, they make great decisions. And
(25:57):
look at their team. Hall of Famer Freeman, Hall of Famer,
Future Bets, Hall of famere Future, oh Toni, Hall of Famer,
future Kersher And what kind of people are they? You
go to that club at These are the greatest guys.
I mean, how about this team that we've been covering
that's one one of the thirteen consecutive divisional titles. And
we go and interview all these guys before all the games,
and they're exactly the same as they were when this
(26:20):
whole thing started. Like you know, they're not too big
for the media or whatever. You know, the Mookie Bets
and Freddie still take the time like it's just an
incredible group of human beings. Here. Here's the other thing
that stood out to me, how hard they work before games,
before every single game. And by the way, Freddy Freeman
and Mookie Bets are always the first two out there,
(26:40):
and they work harder than anybody on the field, any kid,
any other That's what I've witnessed. Last year, I watched
Aaron Judge and John Carlos Stanton do it for the Yankees,
and I was really impressed because I'm always the first
one of the park and I like to see guys
at work. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Bets, Max muncie K
k Hernandez, all these guys, they work so hard on fundamentals,
(27:02):
so hard on ground balls, range, speed, hitting, the cut
off man. When these games play, they don't make mistakes.
They throw to the right base, they take the extra
base base running wise they make But Munsey's play to
the plate was unbelievable. That the quick dog doors left
turn and the quick throw Mookie Bess's range play. There
(27:22):
was right kk Hernandez's throw to first base like and
if you look away from the ball, look away from
the play, all their guys are in the right place
at the right time, ready to do the right thing.
This is a dead serious team that's focused. They don't
take for granted what they're getting paid or how many
games they've won. They're so focused on the field that
(27:42):
they're going to deserve everything they've gotten and everything they're
about to get.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Last thing for you, Jim, you mentioned it and what
you expect to see in the World Series when they
continue this incredible eight and one run that they're on
right now. You said the twenty seven Yankees. I think
it's typically you know, either what twenty seven Yankees ninety
eight Yankees has always brought up, even though those teams
had dominant regular seasons. Even without a dominant regular season,
(28:11):
I think it was the fifth best record over the
course of the regular season. Do you think this still
gets into the conversation as the greatest baseball team ever assembled.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Greatest October team that I've seen. I mean, that's that's all.
That's what I'm going to go by. You know, they
look Baseball is now two different seasons. There's a regular season,
there's October. You know this rotation that they're sending out
there is MADDX Glavin Smolts, right, I mean, this is dominant.
I mean, unfortunately we're not still talking about Blake Sneill's
first start that was unbelievable and in three starts in
(28:44):
the postseason. Do you realize in twenty one and the things,
he's given up six hits and there's an eight six
cra do you realize that Tyler Glass. Now, in the
three times we've seen, which includes two starts, Dra's six.
You have my motorst three starts, the era's one to eight.
Sosake's won one coming out of the in and we
just saw what O'taani did. Like, No, this is dominant,
(29:04):
This is dominant stuff. This is stuff elite. You know
all the pictures this day and age have better stuff
than in any other generation by far, higher velocity, better breaks,
better pitch sequencing, better mechanics, more deception than we've ever seen. Right,
I mean, the knowledge is off the charts. It's incredible
what this game has become. But right now, what the
(29:25):
Dodgers have is just it belongs with the best of
all time. And I hope Dodger fans really enjoy this
little run right here, because they absolutely deserve it and
should embrace it and boise it fun.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
It's fun to talk to you, the great Jim Bowden
and fight on to the great Chad. We appreciate you,
and we'll be listening on MLB Radio and reading in
the Athletic and maybe we'll see you out there for
the World Series doing your job again, and you'll have
another sweet sweet Valure sweatsuit on. I know you got
more than one of those, not.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Be lore Lord. I appreciate you, guys that you have
a good one, hoodie. I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
We'll see you there you go.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I know Valora when I see it, brother Valora. Uh,
we'll be right back. We got two plus more hours
of great sports talk on A five seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA sports podcasts.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
There's Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper Talk Without
a Musk, follow us All, and many more.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Just go to AM five seventy LA Sports on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
The Petrosen Money Show. Modello it is not a meets
you A lot of it is not made with Modello.
A reward for those with a fighting spirit. Modello The
Mark of a Fighter had some Odello folks in the
week on Friday. It was wonderful to see them, young
ladies celebrating their twenty first p Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Got a little awkward because the Asahi people were there too,
and Tim Kates reps Asahi when we're not around a
lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
So we got the early We had something for the
early people. We did because Modela was there, bright and early.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Yeah. Well, but we also had to bodyguard the Modela
from the Asahi right because everybody knows Japan and Mexico
not friends. So kind of an ugly side story to
what was going on, you know, where everybody was really
excited about what the Dodgers did. Some people blamed Jim
Bowden for being nonchalant like us.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
He was a little dismissive, like whatever, man four maybe
five games, I guess you'll lose one. I know that
can make people a lot a little bit.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Nervous little bit, Matt, the nonchalants. There, it is time
for some text.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
The secret text us up fine, brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
We make it easy. When I was describing the Cotton
Bowl that my brother played in in ninety five, that would.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Be corrections and retractions.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Zach Thomas the linebacker, not Zack Johnson. Zack Johnson is
a guy from my high school that married Chrissy Clayton
and they moved to Texas. So totally different guy. Not
a line He's a Texas guy. Also a Texas guy,
but you know one's a Hall of Fame linebacker. The
others had looked like a basketball and he married the
(32:35):
hottest chicken school. All right, Uh, give us the feel
good story. We need, get Kim Taints off his ass
and hit us with a Coach Skipper interview. Look, we'll
get Tim Skipper on if they go to Ohio State
and win. But uh or Indiana, Indiana. Yeah that's what. Yeah,
they're going big noon, Matt. It's the bignon. So uh,
(33:00):
we hadn't feel good interview last week with Rick new Heizel,
and the first thing he did was come on and
give credit to Tim Skipper. I mean, am I am
I the only one around here that pays attention.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Well, let me ask you a question. Is it a
great day to be alive and be a Bruin?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It's a great day, said, is it a great day
to be alive and be a.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
B fours out?
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Schools got deep. The're having the time of their lives
over there. Signetti said it. We're not playing that same team.
This is a three and oh team, not the team
that lost to New Mexico. That's right, This says. We
don't even watch the TBS post game around here. We
switch it to Spectrum and watched Jay Harren nomar. Yeah,
(34:00):
but the one good thing about TBS is you can
throw that on and you're not going to see you know,
you're not going to see hornstraw. But if you throw
it on the stick, you might see it. You might
see that clowns.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
This says clearly the fix is in by MLB to
recrown the Dodgers. I mean, my god, they have days
off before the series started. They have days off between
all the playoffs and now they've got a full week
off before the World Series starts. I mean, it's so
obvious that the Dodgers are being babied in the playoffs
and it's sickening, nauseating to watch. Sickening your thoughts, Matt Well.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I think the the rules supply for each team, and
I would say compared to the NBA outside of this
odd four days between Game seven of the CS and.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
They swept everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, I feel like they've been moving. You know, it's
been pretty experiment. You would have had a game five
back to back to back, then.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
They had to go to babied in the playoffs. They
had to go to Philly, Yeah, to start.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I don't get it, man, This is not the NBA,
where Game one of a playoff series is on a Friday,
Game two was on a Monday, Game three is on
a Thursday. They really stretch arms strong. You know.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
History is not on the Dodgers side.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
What.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
Yeah, two thousand and seven Rockies twenty twelve Tigers both
lost in the World Series after sweeping their opponents in
the league Championship Series and then having eight days off
for the Rockies and five days off of the Tigers.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
That's a stupid statid.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
We had a question for you.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Any of those teams have Blake Snell start in game one.
Any of those teams have Yoshinoba Yemo motor starting game two.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Oh, here's how Kates feels.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, Tyler Glass now game three.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
He's our guys now, Oh we love them? Said another
matter ever.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Because tools ever, best guy ever.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Tortilla. This says, when the steaks are high, the tortillas
will fly. And did you know that tortillas still fly
UCSB soccer games. Let's go gauchos. I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Hey, man, listen, the steaks are so high here. I
need you guys just throwing the tortillas.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Man. This says, stakes are so high here Texas Tech.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I need y'all to stop throwing them tortillas.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Pee. Catching up on the podcast regarding the card that
Snell pulls out. I think it's a picture of Assay.
Snell pulls it out, looks at it and says, you're
the only one that believed in me. Dog, I won't
let you down. Then he kisses it and puts it
back in his pocket. We're givings the day off today
(36:58):
because it's mortal enemy. Jim Odin was on and Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
We're hoping he just it misses him. You know it
didn't like uh, son.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Of a bitch. But we'll be back with more great
sports talk. We have a flip top story of the
day headed your way about USC Notre Dame. If you're
interested in that, I think you should be, because it's
something that I'm very passionate about, so much so that
(37:26):
I attacked our colleague Colin Cowherd when I got home
from Colin football games on Saturday. I called him a
waker something like that.
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Did Colin even talk about it today? Or you just
spend the entire three hours talking about how Cayleb Williams
is the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Yeah, he was too busy with the shammy on Caleb Williams.
Taintch Shamy Shamy, Shamy, shamy sham sham shamy. Froget about
the fence coming in here to clean up Chicago. I
need him to clean up Caleb Williams balls, wash his
taints out.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Mhmm.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
We'll be right back with more and penches some money.

Patrous Money, seventy LA Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
No Doubt Your Baseball till Friday. That will be Game
one of the twenty twenty five World Series from the
Galpin Motors Broadcast Booth. It will either be played here
if Seattle wins this Game seven, or it will be
played there in Toronto Game one. If they win this
game seven, Toronto one more win than the Dodgers, so
(01:13):
they would host the first two, and the last two
if needed, Dodgers would have the three in the middle
for Toronto. Otherwise they will host one and two. Three
in the middle go to Seattle. So that'll happen on Friday.
Between now and then, though short, a lot of play
by play coming your way, including tonight it's seven PMP
with Monday Night football.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yes, Texans Seattle tonight. I know a lot of people
are hustling to get to that one. So no Dodger
Talk seven o'clock Texans versus Seattle. There's two NFL games tonight,
one of them is going to be on this station,
and then tomorrow we'll do a four hour show. Like
you said, a big thank you to Dave Roberts who
(01:54):
joined us made it awesome in the first hour. We'll
talk to Jim Bowden in the very next segment, and
then Daniel Jeremiah is going to join the show and
we'll have some se Notre Dame talk and we'll have
a top story of the day. So a lot going on,
a lot of dishes to wash essay until seven o'clock,
and a big thank you to the reluctantly here fully
(02:16):
functional employee Adam of now that he's a national radio host.
Seems like he's a little too above hitting the buttons.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
He's got two hours and fifty two minutes left home.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, yeah, count it down. I hope you're doing okay,
you do?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Did you do? Rogan and Rodney earlier at him for
like forty five minutes.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
No, I was here on the board, and I don't
know if they knew I was here on the board,
so they didn't utilize.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Me, right, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, But he sat there for Rogan and Rodney for
three hours, which is like being an editor in an
edit bay, where your face turns, you know, to like
an old man. You know, like when you chose poorly
in the Last Crusade, you get old right away, and
then your body turns into a bunch of bones and
slams against the wall. I thought your brain just turned
(03:03):
into suit. No, No, that's the that's the melting non see.
Then that's just when Fred when he's with a co host, that's.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Ah, that's yeah, I got you. That's one half of
the show.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, it is time though, now, Matt, I think you
mentioned this. It was you, or maybe it was I
think it was you. But it is time for the
word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
His words, the word of the day.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
They just won't have it anymore, Matt. They're just they're
too many tortillas flying and it's become a huge problem.
They used to throw tortillas around in Lubbock, Texas and
Texas Tech games when somebody scored a touchdown, could be
you could be the opponent, but the tortillas would fly.
And now the Big Twelve and Brett your mark, the
(03:50):
Big Twelve commissioner, they're trying hard to crack down on
the tortillas flying. They are fining, they are giving fifteen
yard flags. What is it, fifty thousand dollars per tortilla?
Fifty k if the tortillas fly. The tortillas did not
fly at Arizona State, even though Texas Tech lost their
(04:11):
first Big twelve game, first game of the year actually,
but their first conference game they lost. They have Oklahoma
State coming up at home, and they're gonna beat Oklahoma
State even if the tortillas fly. But Kirby hoe Cut,
Texas Tech athletic director and now the overseer of the
highest payroll in the nil college football world, Texas Tech
(04:34):
got some big money. A and M like money, and
they have a really good looking team this year, and
up until last Saturday, they'd won every game by a
big margin. I mean they even beat the crap out
of Houston, who's doing a great job into Big twelve
this year. But here's our guy, Kirby hoe Cut, pleading
with the people of Lubbock. No more tortillas.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
The stakes are too high and we need to help
not risk penalizing our team again for throwing tortillas. Simply
must not do it. The situation is on me. I
leaned into this of throwing tortillas at the beginning of
the football season. Now I must ask everyone to stop myself,
(05:18):
ask our staff to enforce it on game days. I
close and we'll turn it over to coach maguire, asking
our students and our fans to continue to make Jones
at and T Stadium the best environment in college football.
And I don't know how they will do it, but
I am confident that our fans and our students are
about to make the Jones even louder than it's ever
(05:40):
been before.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Oh he ended it with a compliment, which is great.
How much do you think that the students are going
to listen?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I didn't come to Texas town because of the exceptional
physics program.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I came here to do two things, smoke weed and
tilla's and we're out of weed. Understand that I did it.
Responsible for this. I told you all to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But I was wrong, dinky hole cut.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's my fault. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I leaned into it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
The steaks are too high. We need we need to help. Simply,
let's not do it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Let's throw a tortillas.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Dude, it's not that bad to get hit with a tortilla.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Unless you're doing that slap test when they're wet.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Well, that's all that get them all wet. How do
you get it out? You know you can't get it out.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Please, everybody stop throwing totis.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, they do this cool thing down in Lubbick where
they score touts and they throw It's bad. You can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It is now preventing our team from winning football.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Steaks are too damn high.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
The steaks are too high, and we need to help,
not risk penalizing our team again for hey, thank you,
simply not do it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I believe you are incorrect. It is not the mistake,
it is the period.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Mister hoot. I believe that you are wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Look so one guy has one tough piece of milanaise misteak.
Now you can't stop talking.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Uh number is three, three and one weekend. I'll take
it ten and eleven. On the season, money Bucket said
that we were seven and ten going into week seven,
had a three and ohero record going into the the
late window there. Unfortunately the commanders could not hold up
and give me my first bill in zero week. So
(07:45):
I am going to go with the rock Fight. We're
broadcasting right here tonight seven pm as the Lions and
Bucks are already underway, So can't pick that one. Two
weeks to prepare for Jamico Ryans and that Texans defense.
Sam Darnold a monster season former Petrosen money guest friend
of the show. Some wondered when it happened, Well, move
on from Gino for a one year wonder like Sam Donald,
(08:09):
But he and Jackson Smith and Jigba have been made
sweet music up in Seattle this season.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Donald won sixteen, got Pete Carroll fired in Seattle, and
now they brought him down to the Riders to get
him fired again.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Tom Brady does not like it very much. Smith fifteen
yards per game. They however, have not seen a defense
like this yet. They did play Pittsburgh, they were not
great when they faced him in week two.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
T J.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Watts still rounded into form forty nine ers week one
when they were healthy, did a number on Donald and Seattle.
The Texans defense is better, way better than that. You
can put Derek Stingley, arguably the best cover corner in
the league on JSN and maybe wipe him out. Seattle
running game is not great three point seven per carry.
That's twenty ninth in the league. And again, this Texans
defense allowing twelve point per game. So why are they
(09:01):
two and three? Well because their offense sucks. Seattle's defense
not far behind nineteen points per game. Last three they
have averaged five sacks per game, and the Texans offensive
line is one of, if not the worst, in football.
So it has not been kind to me. Just taking
a team and betting the spread has been the way
(09:24):
that we've been successful. A number of those losses are
because we've taken under overs, but don't like either of
these offenses against these defenses. So we are going to
take the under under forty one, and we're envisioning a
thirteen to ten style game that you'll hear on the
radio here.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Why are you so pissy?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Leon?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Why are you so pissy? No, I'm just answering your guy.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You are whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I ask you a question?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So pissy about the under man?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Very good one?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
What does it matter? You know? You want scoring on
the radio? Fifty points, seven hundred points?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Nobody like it's like playing. It's like playing that don't
pass line at the craps table. Who wants a thirteen
to ten game? Why are you projecting that? I want
to drive home, sit in traffic, listen to Sam Darnold.
Some do some things, and instead we're projecting like twenty
three total points and trying to get back to five
hundred going into the weekend.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Well, good luck to you, Matt. Oh by the way,
by the bye bye the bye. I do remember this.
My brother Tosso played with the nineteen ninety four USC
team against Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl when they
played it in the Cotton Bowl before you know At
and T Stadium was built, right and the Tortillas flew
(10:36):
in Dallas. I remember him coming home the Cotton Bowl
and talking about how the Tortillas flew in Dallas and
Zach Johnson, the Miami linebacker, was on that Texas Tech
team and Keishawn Johnson was out there running around, so
the tortillas were fine there. No one was upset then.
But now it's like they sound like, you know, like
like you're like you're shooting a gun in the sky,
(11:04):
you know. Then the other the other thing I said,
other than this, my other favorite sound so far from
this college football season is Barry Alvarez telling the Wisconsin
people that don't boo at Camp Randall, go booing a bar.
And it's like, let's say I was at like a
bar we really had fun at Like September's right in
the Inland Empire. I'm not why would I boo the bar.
(11:28):
I'm having a great time here. They got fried pickles,
I'm drinking. I don't want to I'm not booing these
the hard working waiters and waitresses of September. Why would
I boo in a bar like booing at the game
to show that you're dissatisfied with the product you're paying for,
that is really the only appropriate place to boo. Like
(11:50):
Barry Alvarez is totally backwards on the boo and a bar.
Booing at a bar is inappropriate, right, Like you can
give a couple of collaps when your team scores or something.
I mean, you don't have to act like you did it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
But but no, if you're at a bar, you're just
gonna drop an F bomb.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Yeah or yeah, but you're not gonna sit there and
get him out of here.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You know that's distracting to the other patrons. And I
think booing at a bar is completely inappropriate as opposed to,
you know, just booing at the game, which is where
people boob. So you're wrong, Barry Alvarez. You are wrong.
I respect you, I respect the zone running, but you're wrong.
(12:37):
You're wrong to say they can't boo in a bar.
That's my talk. All right, it is time for the
song of the day. Hold on, let me pull it up.
I'm not good at this, like Matt, I'm not all
fast with my fingers.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You know, Matt requested this one. Oh yellow bi cold
plays the Chargers or in the yellow out or the
yellow Rush jerseys. The mustard didn't go so well. Somehow,
Justin Herbert still threw a pick to the team wearing
white in the back of the end zone Chargers lost.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And it's he can't say that he didn't see his guys. No,
they're right there.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I heard it was tough on the broadcasters too, no
good defense. Yeah, I was couldn't read the numbers.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You gotta smile through that smile he oh yeah. We'll
be right back with the guy who has yellow hair.
She boded.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He does.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Will join us in the very next segment to talk
about the greatness of the Dodgers and the potential World
Series matchup game seven to night between Seattle and Toronto
on De Grassy Street. We'll be right back. Stick with
us on I'm a Horse Monday, and I know that
'll meet you a lot of Monday on petrols and money.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
App using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all
summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Just saying Monay five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app, making our way to Monday Night football tonight.
Yes it's a double header, so we will have Seahawks
versus Texans at seven pm all week long. Though, remember
every morning beginning at six am, you start your day
with Scams, Sacks and Kate's and the am all Dodger
(14:43):
coverage as we make our way toward World Series Game
one on Friday. Dodger sitting around for a full week
before they are back in action. Pee, but that doesn't
mean the people do want to keep talking and hearing
about it.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Oh, we got to pump it off. We wanted him.
We saw him out at Dodger Stadium, but he was
on the radio and sweet Louis Vauton sweatsuit Valoor looking
good looking ready velvet. It was Valure. Jim Bonen, MLB
general Manager, mastermind. You hear him on the MLB Network radio.
(15:17):
We assume that's what he was doing. You read him
on the Athletic. He's on CBS Sports Network at Jim
Bonen gm on X. Been on the show many times.
We always appreciate his insight. It's a lot to discuss
as he's had a front row seat to the Dodger
domination in these playoffs. So we're gonna pump it up.
(15:39):
Man who had Cincinnati bubbling the Ohio River Turned the
Red Jim Boden on the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline,
what's cracking, Jim? How are you?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
It's been a great postseason so far, and this Dodger
team nothing gets more excited, you know, to be there
at Dodger Stadium when I got to witness the greatest
performance of any athlete in the history of sports, to
watch show Shoey o'tani punch out ten, throw a two
hitter through six and then sit there and at three
(16:16):
home runs like even Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron, James
tom Brady. Of all the great things all these people
have done in sports, no one has had a better
game than he had on Friday. And to be able
to be there and witness it and see it with
all the Dodger fans, that's a memory I promise you
I'll never forget. It was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Oh well, I mean, I wanted to ask you about it,
and that's a great answer, because it just feels like
and you've done this for a living for many years,
identifying talent, and you have great relationships throughout the generations
in baseball, but we seem to lack perspective on what
Otani's doing because it's just not done. I mean, is
(16:57):
that I don't know, what do you think about? That
makes it kind of hard.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Well, yeah, because I believe he's artificial intelligence. I don't
think he's a human being. Just being around him, the size,
the way he walks, how much Funny has when he's
the hing, and then he becomes a heavyweight fighter when
he goes to the mound. I mean, I just kind
of feel like he was programmed. I think, you know,
I won't be surprised today we find out and someone says,
we're just kidding. He was artificial intelligence the whole time.
(17:24):
I mean, look all kidding aside, we've never seen anything
like this, Like, you know, it's funny. When he was
coming over, everyone talked about he's the babe Ruth from
Japan coming over, and yeah, it was cool. He got
to do both ways, but not at this level. Like
nobody saw this. There's never been a human being Nick
could do this. And he goes on the mound and
(17:44):
he's a true ace. Punched out ten and friggin pitching
the Dodgers for the World Series and oh, by the way,
here's three home runs too. And oh, by the way,
he's gonna win the Nation League MVP again, Like, look,
it's an honor to prove it's to cover him because
he's such a cool guy too. I saw the postgame
interview when he says, what do you want to say
back to Japan? And he said, I want to say
(18:05):
to everyone in Japan and the USA, let's all get
a glass of saki and toast, Like, let's bring everybody together.
We'll have some saki and toast. This it was phenomenal.
But I'll tell you what even more than that, to
watch the Dodgers in the Philly series and then this
last series against the Brewers. You know, I asked Dave
Roberts on the field before Game four. I said, Dave,
(18:27):
you know, watching this team in the regular season, it
was a ninety three win team. That's what it was.
That's what the facts say, that's what it looks like.
But it looked like a mid nineties team, like a
really good team that could win the World Series, a
great team. But the team I've witnessed in the last
two series is one hundred and twenty win team. Like
everything came together in October exactly the way Andrew Friedman
(18:48):
and Dave Roberts and Brandon Goldhins designed it like when
you get through the season, Blake, tell me, at eleven starts,
that's it. They didn't worry about it. You know, they
only had one pitcher that made thirty starts, that was
Yoshinoba Yamamoto. Because they've planned for October the whole year,
and when they have an injured picture ready to come back,
they just say, yeah, you wait, you just wait, we
(19:08):
got twelve pictures. Don't worry. We'll wait, We'll wait, We'll
extra couple weeks. We need you in October. You know,
we don't really care about the regular season. We're gonna
get there anyway. We're so good, but we want to
peak in October. Like that's a plan that they do
and it works, and it worked. And to watch those
four pitchers sweet Milwaukee, let me tell you this, if
they were facing the twenty seven Yankees, the forty six
(19:30):
Red Sox, the ninety eight Yankees, the seventy five Reds,
they would have swipped them to Okay, we have never
seen four starters dominate ever in the postseason the way
they've dominated four consecutive games, and to Dave Roberts credit.
It wasn't a quick cook on any of them. Yes,
stay in the log, snall eate in THEMS. No problem,
you only face twenty four batters. Best postseason start we've
(19:53):
seen since Howady threw the no hitter or maybe Linsikam's
fourteen strikeout game. I mean, are you kidding me? Like?
It was just it was so if you're a Dodger fan,
you should be giddy because, as I asked Dave Roberts,
is this the best Dodger team you have ever managed?
He's been there ten years. Oh, yes, absolutely it is.
I both agree with Dave Roberts. This is one of
(20:14):
the greatest teams. And I want everyone to understand this
is a different team in October than we saw in
the regular season. This team is one hundred and twenty
win This team is special, and I feel sorry tonight
because whoever gets to celebrate, whether it's Toronto or Seattle,
whoever gets to celebrate will then be eliminated in five
(20:35):
games in the next round.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So then I guess you don't share, because the only concern, really,
Jim was the bullpen, Like, hey, you're gonna be in
one of these tight games it's gonna bite you. We
saw it in that game one against Milwaukee where it
almost got him trying and gets you know, a chase
on a high strike outside of the zone that would
have made things real interesting. That's not a concern for
you at all against the Toronto team. That's if that's
(21:00):
the team that comes down here that they end up
tangling with. With all that offense they have, still the
starter's just too dominant. Because it felt like we got
away from that for a while, right like, oh, you
better have a really good bullpen. It's not so much
starting pitching anymore. You gotta have the bullpen to close
these things out.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Yeah. So now you had a week off and now
we're just going to ride the starters. Zader spent all
that money on the starting rotation for this. This is it.
We're not protecting them anymore. It's not the regular season
where you're going five. You're going six and we're going
to save you for October. Oh no, no, no, we've
already done all the saving. Now the pedals of the medal.
Now you guys go deep because our weakness, which is
(21:38):
the bullpen, we're going to eradicate because we're not going
to let relievers pitch, so we'll let the sake close
the ninth, you know, we'll let try and and you know,
maybe set up or close. We'll let Bessie. We're happy
with those three. If we have to use band and dryer,
it's okay. You know, I'll try to get kersharl a
blow out if I can, just so the fans can say,
go buy one more time. But no, this series is
(22:00):
going to be the same thing as the other one.
You're gonna you're gonna ask Snowy Glass and and Otani
to run the table, which they're capable of doing.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Again.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
I figure probably in the next round they lose one,
just because teams lose even if you're great. But I
just expect them to pitch deep and so they're not
gonna ask much from the bullpen. The bullpen certainly won't
be tired like the Blue Jays or Mariners bullpen, which
is gonna be totally exhausted because all they've done is
pitch inning after inning. Dodgers are set up exactly the
(22:29):
way they want to be set up. It couldn't You
couldn't start a World Series with any major League team
that I can remember in twenty five years in a
better position than the Los Angeles Dodgers are right now.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It's been wild to watch, and really the bullpen thing
was sort of fixed with the Sasaki and watching how
dominant he was closing games out, specifically that three inning
stint against Philly when when he hasn't out he when
when when you're a GM as you were Jim and
you see someone have an outing like he did in
game one, then you're trying to figure out, Okay, what
was it was working before? You have such a limited
(23:01):
sample size from this guy in that particular role, Like
how deep do you have to go? Is it just
a conversation with the pitcher, like what are you guys
doing to try to make sure that the next time
you send him out it looks like it did every
other time as opposed to that one hiccup.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Yeah, you don't know. And I feel better if Trin's
behind him to have plan be ready, right, But I
think you've got a plan be ready. I don't think
it's a sure thing, you know. The thing he's so
different than Otani and Yamamoto. Otani and Yamamoto are really tough,
right competitors. I mean they compete at the highest level.
Sisaki is not. But as Dave Roberts, the manager, told
(23:39):
me last week, he's learning to be tough or he's
getting tough. We're watching him get tough right now. I mean,
this is the guy that battled all year along with
the impingement, and then he went down. He didn't have
any velocity, and then he got with the drive line guy,
and then all of a sudden, the VLO got there.
And now he's peaking at the right time in the
biggest moments. Throwing forget one hundred and four with a
split finger, by the way, that I think the forkball
(24:00):
not a foot thing that you just can't hit when
it's in the zone because it just tumbles and I
don't care who you are not going to hit it.
So for him, it's only about command and control. Throw strikes.
If he throws strikes, he's going to get the job
done because the stuff screams it one hundred and four
with a forkball like that or split finger, he calls
it like that. You're not going to hit it, just
put in the zone. The only thing that worries you
(24:21):
if he gets behind and he walks a guy or
walks two guys hits a batter that you know, that's
when you can get in trouble. So that would be
my only concern that I have. But that's why you
got to have, you know, people to back them up.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
What about the great Jim Bowden joining us right now
MLB Radio and of course the athletic a great GM
and a man of organized thought. You have a better
perspective than most on this. What about this narrative that
we're hearing now from of course from out of town,
but that the Dodgers are ruining baseball and they've taken
(24:51):
advantage of something that others can't. What do you make
of that?
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I make that they're doing everything that I would have
wanted to do in life, and every fan should think
the same way. I want to have one of the
highest payrolls. I want to be able to get the
best players in the world in the same place. I
want to be able to win games, win World championships.
That's what I want. The Dodgers have done everything right
with the money they have. The Mets have a higher payroll.
(25:17):
How are they doing? Oh I didn't see him in
the postseason? Did you? Where were they? They have all
the money. Yeah, they didn't know where to be found,
are they? Yeah? Right? Aren't they the ones that gave
Sodo seven hundred and sixty five million dollars? You know,
you look at Otani, they gave him four hundred. People
talk about seven hundred and that's present value is four hundred.
(25:37):
And by the way, they made that up because they're
smarter than everybody else. They've already sold marketing deals. He's
paid for already. They knew what they were doing. Sorry,
if they know how to operate, you know, I mean,
let's Mark Walter standcast and they know what they're doing.
They're crushing everybody in the in the business room, in
the boardroom, on the field, they make great decisions. And
(25:57):
look at their team. Hall of Famer Freeman, Hall of Famer,
Future Bets, Hall of famere Future, oh Toni, Hall of Famer,
future Kersher And what kind of people are they? You
go to that club at These are the greatest guys.
I mean, how about this team that we've been covering
that's one one of the thirteen consecutive divisional titles. And
we go and interview all these guys before all the games,
and they're exactly the same as they were when this
(26:20):
whole thing started. Like you know, they're not too big
for the media or whatever. You know, the Mookie Bets
and Freddie still take the time like it's just an
incredible group of human beings. Here. Here's the other thing
that stood out to me, how hard they work before games,
before every single game. And by the way, Freddy Freeman
and Mookie Bets are always the first two out there,
(26:40):
and they work harder than anybody on the field, any kid,
any other That's what I've witnessed. Last year, I watched
Aaron Judge and John Carlos Stanton do it for the Yankees,
and I was really impressed because I'm always the first
one of the park and I like to see guys
at work. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Bets, Max muncie K
k Hernandez, all these guys, they work so hard on fundamentals,
(27:02):
so hard on ground balls, range, speed, hitting, the cut
off man. When these games play, they don't make mistakes.
They throw to the right base, they take the extra
base base running wise they make But Munsey's play to
the plate was unbelievable. That the quick dog doors left
turn and the quick throw Mookie Bess's range play. There
(27:22):
was right kk Hernandez's throw to first base like and
if you look away from the ball, look away from
the play, all their guys are in the right place
at the right time, ready to do the right thing.
This is a dead serious team that's focused. They don't
take for granted what they're getting paid or how many
games they've won. They're so focused on the field that
(27:42):
they're going to deserve everything they've gotten and everything they're
about to get.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Last thing for you, Jim, you mentioned it and what
you expect to see in the World Series when they
continue this incredible eight and one run that they're on
right now. You said the twenty seven Yankees. I think
it's typically you know, either what twenty seven Yankees ninety
eight Yankees has always brought up, even though those teams
had dominant regular seasons. Even without a dominant regular season,
(28:11):
I think it was the fifth best record over the
course of the regular season. Do you think this still
gets into the conversation as the greatest baseball team ever assembled.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Greatest October team that I've seen. I mean, that's that's all.
That's what I'm going to go by. You know, they
look Baseball is now two different seasons. There's a regular season,
there's October. You know this rotation that they're sending out
there is MADDX Glavin Smolts, right, I mean, this is dominant.
I mean, unfortunately we're not still talking about Blake Sneill's
first start that was unbelievable and in three starts in
(28:44):
the postseason. Do you realize in twenty one and the things,
he's given up six hits and there's an eight six
cra do you realize that Tyler Glass. Now, in the
three times we've seen, which includes two starts, Dra's six.
You have my motorst three starts, the era's one to eight.
Sosake's won one coming out of the in and we
just saw what O'taani did. Like, No, this is dominant,
(29:04):
This is dominant stuff. This is stuff elite. You know
all the pictures this day and age have better stuff
than in any other generation by far, higher velocity, better breaks,
better pitch sequencing, better mechanics, more deception than we've ever seen. Right,
I mean, the knowledge is off the charts. It's incredible
what this game has become. But right now, what the
(29:25):
Dodgers have is just it belongs with the best of
all time. And I hope Dodger fans really enjoy this
little run right here, because they absolutely deserve it and
should embrace it and boise it fun.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
It's fun to talk to you, the great Jim Bowden
and fight on to the great Chad. We appreciate you,
and we'll be listening on MLB Radio and reading in
the Athletic and maybe we'll see you out there for
the World Series doing your job again, and you'll have
another sweet sweet Valure sweatsuit on. I know you got
more than one of those, not.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Be lore Lord. I appreciate you, guys that you have
a good one, hoodie. I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
We'll see you there you go.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I know Valora when I see it, brother Valora. Uh,
we'll be right back. We got two plus more hours
of great sports talk on A five seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA sports podcasts.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
There's Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk with.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper Talk Without
a Musk, follow us All, and many more.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Just go to AM five seventy LA Sports on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
The Petrosen Money Show. Modello it is not a meets
you A lot of it is not made with Modello.
A reward for those with a fighting spirit. Modello The
Mark of a Fighter had some Odello folks in the
week on Friday. It was wonderful to see them, young
ladies celebrating their twenty first p Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Got a little awkward because the Asahi people were there too,
and Tim Kates reps Asahi when we're not around a
lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
So we got the early We had something for the
early people. We did because Modela was there, bright and early.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Yeah. Well, but we also had to bodyguard the Modela
from the Asahi right because everybody knows Japan and Mexico
not friends. So kind of an ugly side story to
what was going on, you know, where everybody was really
excited about what the Dodgers did. Some people blamed Jim
Bowden for being nonchalant like us.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
He was a little dismissive, like whatever, man four maybe
five games, I guess you'll lose one. I know that
can make people a lot a little bit.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Nervous little bit, Matt, the nonchalants. There, it is time
for some text.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
The secret text us up fine, brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
We make it easy. When I was describing the Cotton
Bowl that my brother played in in ninety five, that would.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Be corrections and retractions.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Zach Thomas the linebacker, not Zack Johnson. Zack Johnson is
a guy from my high school that married Chrissy Clayton
and they moved to Texas. So totally different guy. Not
a line He's a Texas guy. Also a Texas guy,
but you know one's a Hall of Fame linebacker. The
others had looked like a basketball and he married the
(32:35):
hottest chicken school. All right, Uh, give us the feel
good story. We need, get Kim Taints off his ass
and hit us with a Coach Skipper interview. Look, we'll
get Tim Skipper on if they go to Ohio State
and win. But uh or Indiana, Indiana. Yeah that's what. Yeah,
they're going big noon, Matt. It's the bignon. So uh,
(33:00):
we hadn't feel good interview last week with Rick new Heizel,
and the first thing he did was come on and
give credit to Tim Skipper. I mean, am I am
I the only one around here that pays attention.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Well, let me ask you a question. Is it a
great day to be alive and be a Bruin?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It's a great day, said, is it a great day
to be alive and be a.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
B fours out?
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Schools got deep. The're having the time of their lives
over there. Signetti said it. We're not playing that same team.
This is a three and oh team, not the team
that lost to New Mexico. That's right, This says. We
don't even watch the TBS post game around here. We
switch it to Spectrum and watched Jay Harren nomar. Yeah,
(34:00):
but the one good thing about TBS is you can
throw that on and you're not going to see you know,
you're not going to see hornstraw. But if you throw
it on the stick, you might see it. You might
see that clowns.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
This says clearly the fix is in by MLB to
recrown the Dodgers. I mean, my god, they have days
off before the series started. They have days off between
all the playoffs and now they've got a full week
off before the World Series starts. I mean, it's so
obvious that the Dodgers are being babied in the playoffs
and it's sickening, nauseating to watch. Sickening your thoughts, Matt Well.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I think the the rules supply for each team, and
I would say compared to the NBA outside of this
odd four days between Game seven of the CS and.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
They swept everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, I feel like they've been moving. You know, it's
been pretty experiment. You would have had a game five
back to back to back, then.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
They had to go to babied in the playoffs. They
had to go to Philly, Yeah, to start.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I don't get it, man, This is not the NBA,
where Game one of a playoff series is on a Friday,
Game two was on a Monday, Game three is on
a Thursday. They really stretch arms strong. You know.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
History is not on the Dodgers side.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
What.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
Yeah, two thousand and seven Rockies twenty twelve Tigers both
lost in the World Series after sweeping their opponents in
the league Championship Series and then having eight days off
for the Rockies and five days off of the Tigers.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
That's a stupid statid.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
We had a question for you.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Any of those teams have Blake Snell start in game one.
Any of those teams have Yoshinoba Yemo motor starting game two.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Oh, here's how Kates feels.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, Tyler Glass now game three.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
He's our guys now, Oh we love them? Said another
matter ever.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Because tools ever, best guy ever.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Tortilla. This says, when the steaks are high, the tortillas
will fly. And did you know that tortillas still fly
UCSB soccer games. Let's go gauchos. I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Hey, man, listen, the steaks are so high here. I
need you guys just throwing the tortillas.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Man. This says, stakes are so high here Texas Tech.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I need y'all to stop throwing them tortillas.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
