It's a heck of a card, so giveaways. A two

(03:00):
so kind of one of the reasons why we're to
get down there.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yes, and it should be a great time.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Now we have split up because Matt went down there
a little late with Tim Kats.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
They are down on the field.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I am up here making sure that Laila Kates doesn't
get in any trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
You here in the in the suite.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
There's a lot of booze up there, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah, and she's a real boozehound, so it's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
She will dirt bag any half drink. We had to
use dirt bag and all of our.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Hold on it was this lipstick all over my beach shop.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
We had a great conversation, really an interesting conversation. It's
one thing any baseball player knows in their minds what
it's like to hit and what it's like to play
and how you go about things, but none can convey
it as well. It feels like, especially when it comes
to hitting, it's quite like no mare Garcia Para. Now,
(03:59):
grant he's one of the great hitters of his era,
but wow, just really insightful stuff. Not that we are
baseball break it down hitting mechanics experts, but he really
lays it out so everybody can understand what he's saying,
and he doesn't talk down to you. It's just very easy,
very easy to understand when Nomar does that stuff. So
(04:21):
really really cool to have Nomar Garcia Para join us
in the first hour and break it down. Everything is
Always can be podcasted on the iHeartRadio app your smartphone,
or you can stream it live. I think it sounds
great on the iHeartRadio app. So all of that is
available and still to come. We have David Vassey and
Matt what's popping down there on the field.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Dave was just having an extended conversation with Will Smith
before he came out of the dugout to go take
batting practice. Mookie Bets is back with the team. He
just walked by Kate's and I and Kate's shaking hands
with Justin Robleski. He's gonna ask him to put on
some headphones that he just dropped in the dirt. He's like, yeah, hey, here,
go ahead, put the uh Reblesk. He's joining us right now,
pe if you want to bring him.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
In, joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota
Dealers Celebrity Hotline. Somebody we've come to love here. On
the Petros and Money Show, where's he from? Well, he
was born in Illinois, Matt, but he's from Georgia.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
He went to Sequoia High School.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Home of the Sequoias.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
No, no, it was a good guess.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Let's go che home of the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Let's go cheese. That's it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
We got it right now. The Petros and Money Show.
Been great to watch him. Pitch was wonderful in the postseason.
Has been so solid at the start of this year.
Thank you for joining us justin. I'm sorry I didn't
make it down there. I'm a guoraphobic anyway, Thanks for
doing it. God bless you. How's it going.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
How's it going? Good to be on. It's great to
talk to you guys.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
When you hear this, let's go chee and you think
about that that very barren look in Sequoia High School,
at least it does on the picture on Wikipedia, you know.
And and you're here at Dodger Stadium with the sunshine
and Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman running around having a
good time.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What goes through your mind? Robeski, You're doing a great job.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Man, Yeah, no, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's it's pretty cool.
I mean obviously, Uh, you know, you dreamed of playing
the big leagues. You dream to you know, any of
these big league ballparks is a little better than school
high school. So no, no, no slide on Sequoia. We
have a beautiful, beautiful field there, but.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's not what they're gonna be pissed man, Not quite.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Dodger Stadium, not quite Dodger Stadium, but yeah, no, it's
super super cool.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
I'm super bossed and lucky to to part of this team.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We were talking about, uh, we're talking about quite a
bit on Friday, as a matter of fact, kind of
digging into just the idea of last year going into
the postseason and getting the call in the World Series
and then having all of these high leverage situations in
the World Series. Can you just kind of sure you've
talked about it a bunch, but take us through sort
of how to get yourself mentally right for those moments
and maybe how that helped you out have this kind
(06:53):
of start to the season here.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Yeah, I mean, I think you know, for me, I've
always been a guy like I enjoy, you know, those
spots joy kind of I don't know, I enjoy when
when my back's against the wall.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I kind of I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I go out there each time, and that's kind of
my my thought process behind like when I'm out there
to begin with, in general, it's just like you know,
trying to to you know, give up nothing, just go
out there and dominate each time out. And I think
you know that that mentality kind of helped me through
the playoffs just and you know, just going out there
trying to do my job, which I I know what
it is each time out and it's the throw strikes,
(07:26):
get ahead of hitters.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
And get out.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
And you know, I've had to learn the game a
little bit since I came up here, just trying to
figure out how to be a reliever, how to be
a starter, because there's there's different you know, ways to
play the game. Obviously, you know, as a reliever you're
trying to go out there and get swing amiss the
entire time and punch guys out. And then as a
starter you kind of got to play that chess match
and you know, go as deep as you can. So
(07:49):
I think, yeah, the playoffs is great. I think it
was just again like go out there, attack, try to dominate,
and yeah, I love that opportunity. I love the crowd,
I love the I don't know, I loved everything about it.
So it's just it was just super fun for me
and I was, yeah, just super excited to get the
opportunity to go out there and pitching in big spots.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
How much more fun is is this year as opposed
to last year or every year as you kind of
grow and become more and more comfortable. Or are you
one of those guys that doesn't get all nervous because
from all the bullpen guys we've talked to over the
over the years, those guys are freaking out and just
hammering red bulls out there in the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I think it's different for everybody, right, Like my routine's
a little different when I'm a starter, is when I'm
in the bullpen. You know, you definitely get more of
a like shot of adrenaline when your name's called versus
when you know you're starting the game. And that's something
I've had to learn, just like how to kind of
manage that because as a starter, you can't quite you know,
get that high that first inning. So you got to
(08:46):
you gotta have that balance, I guess. And yeah, for me,
I mean, everybody gets nervous. I think if you say
you don't get nervous, you're lying. I think you know,
anytime you're throwing in front of fifty thousand people and
throwing a big spots, like, you're gonna feel those nerves.
But I think it's a matter of how you manage
them and how you view them, and that's kind of
what you know allows you to, I don't know, pitch
(09:09):
well in those spots, and I think for me it's
just a matter of accepting them and being like, yep,
I'm feeling it a little bit, but it's you know,
it's it's a good feeling to have because I think
if you didn't, then you wouldn't want to win and
you wouldn't care. So that's kind of where I'm at
with it, and I love it each time out that
you get those feelings. And as a starter, it's different.
You get the different spots, but you still get them.
So it's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It was I don't know if it was a heck
of a start yesterday, man. I mean the fact that
you're able to go is deepjar coming off a game
on Saturday where Blake's only able to go three nuts.
Are you able to walk away from that and feel
kind of like really good about Holy crap? I end
up getting through eight plus and through one hundred pitches
and help the team out and here we are today. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
I think for me, I'm pissed. You know, today sucks.
Anytime I give up runs, I hate it, you know.
I think that's just in my DNA and uh, you know,
people kind of got to bring me back to earth
on on those things. But I am you know, I'm
I'm always you know, happy to give the team innings
(10:09):
and happy to to get deep into a game. But
yesterday's is frustrating because you know, I turned one double
play and it's I'd probably throw a complete game if
I'm being honest with you, I probably you know, end
up being able to finish that game off or you know,
hand it over the bullpen with a lead. So that's
kind of what's frustrating to me is you know, I
didn't make a play and went up the mound and
(10:30):
kind of lost one high and you know, I ended
up hurting hurting me, So that's what was frustrating for me.
I mean, I think I threw the ball, Like, going
back and looking at it, I threw the ball pretty well.
It's pretty rare that you're going to face the lineup
four times through and facing those top three guys a
fourth time. Yeah, a couple of them got me. So
I'm I'm proud of the way through the ball yesterday.
At the same time, I think there's there's stuff I
can do better and at least. The stuff I can
(10:52):
do better is not really on the pitching side. It's
more of on the throw the damn ball the second
base side. So that's that's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
We're proud of here, am Justin rod Blest.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
You're joining right now on the Petterson Money Show on
AM five seventy LA Sports. I wish I would have
come down there now Matten shown him my ensemble. I
really feel like I did a good job.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You would have melted by now.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It is great.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's wearing all black. It is so hot down here,
so now I look.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Like a roadie.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
It's good tell us just because we are concerned about this,
especially for young, good looking guys like you, who are
you know, not from around here. We worry that, you know,
you might go Hollywood, get get caught up with the
wrong crowd.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
And it's not just you, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
We were even worried about the new UCLA coach and
he's in his forties, you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Know or something.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, we're a little bit concerned that you're, you know,
out doing crazy stuff during the week. Are you able
to control yourself here in La Justin I.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Like to be a little bit more low key, with
what I'm doing. You know, I'm I'm good. I'm good
with where I'm matt. I'm good here playing baseball. A
let's say, probably ninety percent of my time is spent here,
and then if it's not here, you might catch me
at a golf course.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
But that's really all it does is take one to
go buy one chain.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Well, then your chain is out, and that could change everything.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
You know what I mean, that's true, that's true. I
don't have to make a trip to buy a chain.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
So we're good, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Why are uh? Why does it seem like pitchers are
really good golfers. It's more so than position players. I
don't know. I don't know if you've noticed that, But
for whatever reason that's the case.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Well, first off, we have a little more time. Second,
I'll do it.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Second off, a lot of hitters are worried about their
their precious swing and messing it up and all this
and that, which whatever. I don't have a swing to
worry about. That's the swing I worry about. So that's
probably why.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
How good are you? What's your indyka?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Right now?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I'm at like a three and a half. I've been
as low as like a point five. I'm trying to
get to a plus plus by the end of the year, hopefully.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
But we'll see where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Where are you playing?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Uh? Anywhere I can, I'll play on MUNI I don't care.
See a lot of people are worried about this and that.
I just I just love to play golf, so I
mean wherever I can get on. It's pretty tough to
come by tea times here in La and.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Es playing under six hours?
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Yeah, playing six hours? Come on, I'm never gonna do that.
You know. I heard other people do not know who
I am.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
There's no more taking you to his fancy club.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
No one's taking me to anywhere fancy. I actually played
L A C.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
C a couple of weeks. Good.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
I shouldn't say that, but yeah, I've played a couple
of cool ones. But they don't normally let.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The celebrities out. You know. It's like all the old
money over there. They looked down their nose.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
And people like I don't know, they didn't even know
I was there.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Probably they slipped it out. Yeah, did you swing the
bat when you were a chief?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I swung the bat all the way through college, you know.
I was I was okay. I couldn't hit spin. I
can't see very well, so it was just it was like,
you know, last time I hit was you know, twenty
five game followed Juco and I hit like three hundred
with two homers, a bunch of doubles, whatever, But all
my outs were strikeouts and I wasn't having fun. When
(13:51):
I got to Okoma State, they told me not to
stop hitting, and then I threw my first my first
boll friend there like okay.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
You're you're okay, you're good.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No more hitting.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
But I had a helmet wreck there, so there was
a chance that I could hit there, so but yeah, no,
it's too hard.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
One of the great pacers and all of a Dodger baseball,
he loves the pace.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Yeah, that's my game. That's my game.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Has that always been your thing?
Speaker 7 (14:12):
That's my routine. I don't know, I don't know what
to tell you.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
It's just you know, once there's two outs, I do
a couple of dry reups and then I get up
here in the dugout and that's just what I do.
I mean, I'd rather not sit still. It probably keeps
me loose. And you know, it's gone well so far.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So you're a star.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Robleski, what was it real quick before we let you go?
What was the thing that hadn't happened Kates in like
what thirty forty years or something like that, zero strikeouts,
shut out and how many hits was it? It was
fewer than whatever it doesn't happen? Were you aware of
that in the momentere You're like, you know, I don't
have any strikeouts. This is kind of weird.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
I mean, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
This year's been weird for me because last year I
think I had like a twenty eight percent carry whatever
I was, you know, kind of learned how to strike
guys out. And then this year, and it might be
partially me trying to learn this abs thing and figure
out when guys swing. When they don't swing, they know
that I filled his own up, so it's a lot
of swings early in counts, which is what I'm trying.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
To get him to do.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
But I think it's been a little bit of an
anomaly to start the season as far as how few
people have been striking out. I think it's you know,
I'm probably more of like a six eight per nine guy.
That's probably where I'll settle. But yeah, it's it was funny.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
It's it's just.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Like, you know, I know I haven't been striking a
ton of people out. At the same time, I know
I've been making a lot of good pitches, and I
think as the stuff ticks up, you know, throughout the year,
I think we'll start getting that miss again.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
But yeah, it was funny.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
I mean I remember coming to dug out and me
like Mark, I mean, at some point these guys are
gonna miss this two strike pitch instead of hitting a
pop up or hitting it on the ground somewhere. But yeah,
it's it's it's funny. But at the same time, like
each outing, I'm trying to, you know, figure out what
the hitters are looking for and kind of try to
take advantage of that. And I think we've done a
pretty solid job up to this point.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I just got a text from David Vassay that says,
Robleski's mind.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You know, you don't you don't own people.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
I know, I know, I can't believe that guy.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
He's his own man, Roblesky. He could talk to wherever
he wants.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You tell him, Robleski exactly.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
All the reporters can can learn about what a great
guy you are. Thank you, Jack did have a great night.
Congratulations on all your success. It's great to watch it play.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
No, I appreciate it, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A lot of.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Man, a lot of man right there. Justin Robleski.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
We'll talk to David Vasse as we go along people
still freedom and.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Just walked by and he's like, yeah, wait to go,
robro I was like, hey, Frido and he didn't say
anything to me.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Andrew Friedman or Freddy Andrew usually he's our friend.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I know. I think he was just engaging with the
player and I was, you know, a lot of speed
bumping the way.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
If I was there with my shade T shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And stopped and chattered, it would have been nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
It would have been the sweetest taboo.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Then who's this idiot down here? Given me.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Puld be back?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Who's the hesher? Who let the hesher on the baseball?
Who's skin and all black? And it sure they tea shirt?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I've never felt better.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
We'll be back with mart Petros and Money on seventy
LA's two great interviews. A big thank you to Wan
and Dorado and and and No mar Garcia Para and
everybody helping us out, getting justin Robluski a great get
and a really interesting conversation. I can see why Vassa
is so possessive.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Geist.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Well, I don't know what. For whatever reason, we've had
a lot of luck with the young pitchers, you know,
for the I think the older guys know what idiots
we are in the talkers to you. Guys don't know
any better. They haven't learned yet.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
They want to. They're still looking to impress you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Guys, missed it you talking to Robleski.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Snell walks out of the clubhouse, gives Vassa the eyes
like come here, and like a dog just comes running over.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That Tom and Jerry Cartoon was spiking his little puff.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Can I tend the rabbits? George, Oh God, George, Can
I tend the rabbit? Can we have red ones and
blue ones and green ones? I's I'm a horse Monday
and Peterson Money and a Modela beats a lot of Monday.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Petros Papadakis, Matt Moneys, this is Petrosen money up on demand.

great Dodger baseball love and insight on the station thus far.
No mar Garciapara joined us in the first hour from
Spectrum Sports net LA, and we just had a great
(18:41):
conversation down on the field, at least some of us
with the one and only Justin Robleski.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
But right now I think.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Matt's still on the field standing next to the one
and only David.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Vasse, and neither of them have their headphones on.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
It is time, David vase, we're standing right next to Matt.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Dave and I were talking, you know how he is, Well, yeah,
we're gonna talk to you. David's like, oh you are?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's okay. What could be more important than the radio show?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
David joins us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I could see you guys down there, Dave, how are
you Dan here?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You yet? Oh? Okay, Dave is getting the headphones.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Man, You guys are asleep at the switch. It's much
down there. It's a complete mess.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
That's a Petros I'm up here.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
You got too many steps in today in Chinatown with me.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
That's right, Dave and I took a nice long walk
at Chinatown, and I don't want to go down there anymore.
But we did have a great time walking through Chinatown.
You know what's in Chinatown A lot of Chinese people.
And I what I appreciate that. I like the fact
that it advertises Chinese and then it delivers it. If
you know what I'm saying, I'm not kidding. I mean,
you know there's a Chinese guy. There's a Chinese guy.
(19:58):
They're like, they're everywhere. It's awesome thing ever, all right, Dave,
first and foremost, how was your weekend here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
You're having a good time. I did have a good time.
There was good baseball played on Friday night. The good
baseball was played by the Dodgers. The last two nights,
the good baseball was played by the Atlanta Braves. But
Mookie Betts is back, and all of a sudden things
have changed in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Dave. We were talking to no Mark, Yeah, there we
go get those horns.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And we asked him about Blake Snell's start.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And oh, oh, so you had Nomar on we had
them on on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Somebody gave you a great guests, somebody gave radio.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
But he said he was impressed with what he saw
from Blake, that he thought the pitches were good, that
the hits, it wasn't hard hit balls. And he's like, yeah,
even though it's three innings, felt like there was some
real positives to take out of that kind of walk
us through that. And I'm sure you talked to him after.
How was he feeling about it?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, you could hear our full conversation with No More
and snell Zilla on the Dodger Talk podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. Sneil Zilla joined us on Mother's Day. What
says Happy Mother's Day more than the great snell Zilla?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I don't know. I don't know, dog.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But he was throwing a lot of he was throwing
a lot of slider. He was throwing a lot of
sliders to lefties. And I said, well, why would you
throw your sliders so much? Because it's your third best pitch.
And his thinking was that lefties can't hit his sliders
as well, but Matt Olsen hit his. And Matt Olsen
is not just another guy, He's an MVP Aussie Albi's
(21:30):
hit a ball that would have been hitting the dirt.
There were two broken bats, a lot of like Nomar said,
unlucky stuff. But I was surprised to hear Snell tell
us yesterday that he wants his fast bill to be better.
But his fastball was ninety five to ninety seven. But
he just wants better command. But his curveball was great
in the third inning and that's a good sign. His
(21:51):
next start will be against the Angels this weekend.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
This weekend in Anaheim Friday, Saturday, Friday.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
And I didn't want to break it to him, but
Jose Soriano is lined up to face Blake SNeW Friday
night in Anaheim. So I lost yet big pitching matchup
he has lost. He did lose one game, and he
pitched really well against the Blue Jays two days ago.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
The one and only David Vasse is our guest.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
He has got everything that you want when it comes
to the Dodgers. And that's right Blake Snell and the
great interview with Nomar, although we did a pretty good
one too.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
So what's the update from Nomar on Otani? Well, that's
uh I asked him about it. And then I just
started looking at my phone. But Dave, we did sit
there and talk today and you said something very interesting,
and I think it goes for all Dodger fans or
people that are around this team. No one's ever seen
Otani like this for this long. What's next? Yeah, I
(22:46):
don't know if you guys realize this, but it's shocking
the more I say it. Otani has one home run
in his last one hundred and two plate appearances. When
was the last time you could say that in a
Dodger uniform an Angel uniform. That's just not something that
you've seen from Otani in his career. And I know
everybody says twenty twenty, the shortened year, was his worst year.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, maybe, but nothing like this.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
So Nomar told us over the weekend, it's a lazy
take to say the pitching is taken away from the hitting,
and he explained why. And basically what Nomar said is
somebody's got to give one queue to make him forget
about the five things he's thinking about when he goes
to the plate, on top of before the game, thinking
about throwing. He was out here earlier today throwing. So
(23:32):
I feel like a guy like Nomar, who is not
going to approach any of these players they need to
approach him, would be a great, you know, quick conversation.
But what he was saying is Otani's flying out. You
see the helmet flying off when he swings his butt
is in the other team's dugout when he's That's not
(23:52):
something that is Otani like. So all of those things
Nomar identified and I tend to agree. I mean, Otani
has done the two before, but he is thirty one
years old, and that's a lot different, as you both know,
than being twenty seven years old and trying to do this.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Is that Do you think that applies to Freddy as well?
Just that two postseasons, two World Series runs, you're getting older,
because certainly we haven't seen him really in a funk
like this for this long either.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, and the Dodgers are in the middle of playing
thirteen in a row the last time we saw that.
By the end of it, guys like Freddy and Tascar Hernandez,
we're a little sluggish. The one thing I will say
about Freddy, on the last road trip, he hit he
got nine hits, he did have two doubles, and on
Friday night he hit a ninety seven fastball in the
(24:39):
sixth inning off of Chris Sale, so that's encouraging.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
He's driving the ball again.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
But yeah, like yesterday day game, after a night game,
Dave Robert sits ta Oscar Hernandez because he looked very sluggish.
It made sense today he's sitting lower in the lineup
than we've seen him in the last two years. But
he's not having great at bats, and you have a
guy like Alex call who's having great at bats. So
I think you have to manage guys like Rojas, Mookie
(25:05):
Betts who's coming back from an oblique injury. He's thirty three,
Freddy's thirty six, Taoskar's thirty three going on thirty four.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
It's a real thing. Yeah, David Vasse is a real guy, Dave.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
You know, it's kind of interesting because we've sort of
been holding back this.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
River of a narrative for a few years. But the
Giants are in town.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, and I gotta be honest, it doesn't feel as
big as the Padres, and it does look bigger than
the Angels come this weekend. Tell me I'm wrong, No,
you're right. The Giants are in complete disarray.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Tony Vytello has not made the smooth transition from college
to the big leagues. Just two nights ago, there was
a really embarrassing moment for the second time this year
where the bullpen was unsure of which reliever Vitella was
calling for. They were like, huh me righty lefty. Willia
Domis is signaling from the mound, like the lefty the lefty. Yeah,
(26:00):
that's embarrassing. And the Giants have the worst record in
the National League. They are floundering right now. Logan Webb
is on the injured list, so they're not going to
see him. They will see Robbie Ray in this series,
and then over the weekend. Yes, they get Soriano on Friday,
but the Angels literally have the worst record in Major
League Baseball. So this is a stretch of seven games
(26:22):
where the Dodgers should pad the wins.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Dave Freeland going down, you talked about it, and you know,
having that prospect that's celebrated and maybe seeing if you
give him a little bit more room, but he ends
up being the guy with Mookie coming back that goes
down where you're surprised by that and you think they
made the right decision.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I do believe they made the right decision. Kim's batting average,
even though it slowed down a little bit, is still
over three hundred. He's got the speed, he's got the defense.
Alex Friedland was given a big opportunity. He got ninety
eight at bats from opening day until yesterday. His defense
was very good. But the reality is he didn't hit.
He's hitting two thirty with a NOPs under seven hundred.
(27:01):
Kim's just outplayed him and it stinks for him. But
he had his chance and he didn't seize it. So
Kim is gonna play second base tonight with Mookie Bets
back at shortstop. But like I said on opening day,
just because you don't make the opening day roster doesn't
mean you're not going to make an impact on the season,
saying with Alex Freeland, he's got to go down there,
(27:23):
get better and believe that he's going to get another opportunity.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
All right, Dave, we're gonna cut you loose, all right,
thank you, and have my blakes are down here, Snell
and Tryning.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Trenton's got a new Blonts dash. I don't know what
that's about. Snell Zilla's talking to some of his team
snell Zilla Kids. He has it mail Zilla now have
like a card breaking he does sal Zilla breaks. And
he has a new sunflower seed brand that he handed out.
Maybe I'll grab one for Tim Kats. He saw that.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Okay's kind of dismissed me. He kind of crunched his
nose up at you. Oh my god, he's skimmed up
his faith a little bit.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Hey, there's no.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Mar there's my guest from Saturday that petros and money
ripped off.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
You know, I don't know if you know this day,
but otimas signing autographs for kids.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Dave, don't take Hi away from the kids.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
I'm trying to say some autograph. You're interrupting us. I'm sorry, apologize.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I don't know if you know this day, but Otani's
sticking his butt out real far.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
You know when you reach it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, yeah, see what happens. I just got to remember
one thing, the five things you poisoned, no more against
me earlier today I can publish the weekend he talked
to me for two hours.
Speaker 5 (28:32):

rarely go anywhere, but more tacos. The Steven Albatrio playing

twelve year old All Stars. Yeah, it was pretty great
when they crank out war pigs and you see the

an event.

Wasn't as chippy as the Shamanad game.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
It got chippy in the fourth quarter, but credit to
Village players, it was at that point they knew it
was over.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
I heard that Shamanad coach didn't handle himself. Well, no,
he never does.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Sunday, mother, Oh, Saturday night, we went to dinner at
Jose Alito's in Montrose, right on Honolula Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
So us a little I was cheating. I got to say,
don cuco's, but got do what you got?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Would my wife say if she knew I was laying
with this horrors.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
Alito like a Santae Samuel says, has been cheating utters
in elementary school. So I went to Jose Alito's. I
got for dinner Sunday. Mother didn't do much, just kind
of hung out, watched the Dodger game. That went to
dinner at Finney's.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
You watched the Ducks game, and that was last night.

all gathered around the telly and watched the Ducks beat
up on those stinking Vegas nights.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
That's my weekend, Ronnie.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
I had a nice weekend myself. Saturday, I was at
Burly doing a little backyard cleanup, and in the early
afternoon I went shopping for my wife to get her
something nice for Mother's Day. On the way back, I
stopped at the yardhouse, had some sliders in a pop
sitting at the bar all by myself, like a loser
watching me and all that way.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
But that's not you know, you know what. I had
a good time people like that. I had a good time. Yeah,
I saw that nobody wants to be friends.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
Saturday evening we picked up some Chinese food and just
kept it quiet the rest of the night. And Sunday
we gathered the family for brunch at Julian and Sydney's house,
and her mother's Shannon was there, and her great grandma
Mary was there. My son Adrian and his fiancee Valerie
were there as well, and my wife made pancakes. Quite
a spread, blueberry chocolate chip and of course the old
(35:06):
fashioned classic buttermilk pancakes.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Quite a spread.
Speaker 10 (35:09):
Of course, anytime we get to spend with the twins
is a bonus on top of everything else. And we
had a wonderful Mother's Day celebrating the mothers in our lives.
I hope you had a great Mother's Day.

quite good.
Speaker 4 (35:41):

Speaker 5 (36:14):
Everybody's like, oh, the rats are gonna kill us all
with the hand of various and greets like those are
wild rats. The rats and captivities poop is not nobody
cared about when Gene Hackman's wife died a Handtavarius, right,
we weren't all. We didn't quarantine Hackman's house anyway on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It's dead for days. When they find the wife, everybody
terrible scene rigor has set in.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
That's terrifble and set out, Oh matt Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
After I went to yoga on Sunday, I went and
bought flowers for my mother and my wife, and uh,
I took my on Fletcher and we went to see
my little brother Dimitri and his Asian children, and then
went to my parents' house.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
They're just so much more charming than the rest.

Of Searchlane because they are looking kids and and then
I went to see my father and my mother.

was that, and we'll be back. You know.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Tani's in the slump when he's taking batty practice. Out
of here. Boys, see yeah, he's in the cage right now.
Want to lose? Look at that straight pop up.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Do you think you think Ronnie was a loser eating
those sliders by himself. Look at Otani out there taking corn,
taking batting practice like a layperson.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
In the opposing dugout, no hat, no helmet, Matt, you
might appreciate this. God, look at that kid.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Did you see that.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Straight stole that ball and banged his shins on the
bleachers leaping for the Otani batting practice home run grab.
I think one of them old dudes see him in
the He's got the white jersey on in the very
last yellow section on the sidewalk between. He's now walking
toward us right now, just leapt and snatched that ball away.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
This is how the two old men must have felt
like in trading places when they were bagging on the street.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Look at this, I mean, just talk about rags to rich.
Look at them.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Look at them trying to track it again, little kids,
trying to get it lined up.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
And here the old men just hit that one out
of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Out of the stadium.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
That was like the World Series when Stephen Nelson said.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Rick Monday still has PTSD from.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
That one elder abuse. That's like the poster for elder abuse.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
To actually got to be a very especial and we
are in a very exclusive part of Dodger stake and
the almost inaccessible to any mortal but Friday.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well that would be the media room. Come see us.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
At the Downy's Inn at the Downey se at the
BJS in Downey, and we will have Dodger tickets, We'll
have BJ's Restaurant and brew house gift cards to give away,
and we will have MMA tickets for that Gina Carono
around the Rousey fight, amongst others at the Intuit Dome.
It's a heck of a card, so giveaways. A two
to five thirty show going into Dodgers Angels at Anaheim Stadium,
(03:00):
so kind of one of the reasons why we're to
get down there.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yes, and it should be a great time.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Now we have split up because Matt went down there
a little late with Tim Kats.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
They are down on the field.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I am up here making sure that Laila Kates doesn't
get in any trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
You here in the in the suite.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
There's a lot of booze up there, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah, and she's a real boozehound, so it's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
She will dirt bag any half drink. We had to
use dirt bag and all of our.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Hold on it was this lipstick all over my beach shop.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
We had a great conversation, really an interesting conversation. It's
one thing any baseball player knows in their minds what
it's like to hit and what it's like to play
and how you go about things, but none can convey
it as well. It feels like, especially when it comes
to hitting, it's quite like no mare Garcia Para. Now,
(03:59):
grant he's one of the great hitters of his era,
but wow, just really insightful stuff. Not that we are
baseball break it down hitting mechanics experts, but he really
lays it out so everybody can understand what he's saying,
and he doesn't talk down to you. It's just very easy,
very easy to understand when Nomar does that stuff. So
(04:21):
really really cool to have Nomar Garcia Para join us
in the first hour and break it down. Everything is
Always can be podcasted on the iHeartRadio app your smartphone,
or you can stream it live. I think it sounds
great on the iHeartRadio app. So all of that is
available and still to come. We have David Vassey and
Matt what's popping down there on the field.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Dave was just having an extended conversation with Will Smith
before he came out of the dugout to go take
batting practice. Mookie Bets is back with the team. He
just walked by Kate's and I and Kate's shaking hands
with Justin Robleski. He's gonna ask him to put on
some headphones that he just dropped in the dirt. He's like, yeah, hey, here,
go ahead, put the uh Reblesk. He's joining us right now,
pe if you want to bring him.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
In, joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota
Dealers Celebrity Hotline. Somebody we've come to love here. On
the Petros and Money Show, where's he from? Well, he
was born in Illinois, Matt, but he's from Georgia.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
He went to Sequoia High School.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Home of the Sequoias.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
No, no, it was a good guess.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Let's go che home of the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Let's go cheese. That's it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
We got it right now. The Petros and Money Show.
Been great to watch him. Pitch was wonderful in the postseason.
Has been so solid at the start of this year.
Thank you for joining us justin. I'm sorry I didn't
make it down there. I'm a guoraphobic anyway, Thanks for
doing it. God bless you. How's it going.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
How's it going? Good to be on. It's great to
talk to you guys.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
When you hear this, let's go chee and you think
about that that very barren look in Sequoia High School,
at least it does on the picture on Wikipedia, you know.
And and you're here at Dodger Stadium with the sunshine
and Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman running around having a
good time.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What goes through your mind? Robeski, You're doing a great job.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Man, Yeah, no, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's it's pretty cool.
I mean obviously, Uh, you know, you dreamed of playing
the big leagues. You dream to you know, any of
these big league ballparks is a little better than school
high school. So no, no, no slide on Sequoia. We
have a beautiful, beautiful field there, but.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's not what they're gonna be pissed man, Not quite.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Dodger Stadium, not quite Dodger Stadium, but yeah, no, it's
super super cool.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
I'm super bossed and lucky to to part of this team.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We were talking about, uh, we're talking about quite a
bit on Friday, as a matter of fact, kind of
digging into just the idea of last year going into
the postseason and getting the call in the World Series
and then having all of these high leverage situations in
the World Series. Can you just kind of sure you've
talked about it a bunch, but take us through sort
of how to get yourself mentally right for those moments
and maybe how that helped you out have this kind
(06:53):
of start to the season here.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Yeah, I mean, I think you know, for me, I've
always been a guy like I enjoy, you know, those
spots joy kind of I don't know, I enjoy when
when my back's against the wall.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I kind of I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I go out there each time, and that's kind of
my my thought process behind like when I'm out there
to begin with, in general, it's just like you know,
trying to to you know, give up nothing, just go
out there and dominate each time out. And I think
you know that that mentality kind of helped me through
the playoffs just and you know, just going out there
trying to do my job, which I I know what
it is each time out and it's the throw strikes,
(07:26):
get ahead of hitters.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
And get out.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
And you know, I've had to learn the game a
little bit since I came up here, just trying to
figure out how to be a reliever, how to be
a starter, because there's there's different you know, ways to
play the game. Obviously, you know, as a reliever you're
trying to go out there and get swing amiss the
entire time and punch guys out. And then as a
starter you kind of got to play that chess match
and you know, go as deep as you can. So
(07:49):
I think, yeah, the playoffs is great. I think it
was just again like go out there, attack, try to dominate,
and yeah, I love that opportunity. I love the crowd,
I love the I don't know, I loved everything about it.
So it's just it was just super fun for me
and I was, yeah, just super excited to get the
opportunity to go out there and pitching in big spots.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
How much more fun is is this year as opposed
to last year or every year as you kind of
grow and become more and more comfortable. Or are you
one of those guys that doesn't get all nervous because
from all the bullpen guys we've talked to over the
over the years, those guys are freaking out and just
hammering red bulls out there in the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I think it's different for everybody, right, Like my routine's
a little different when I'm a starter, is when I'm
in the bullpen. You know, you definitely get more of
a like shot of adrenaline when your name's called versus
when you know you're starting the game. And that's something
I've had to learn, just like how to kind of
manage that because as a starter, you can't quite you know,
get that high that first inning. So you got to
(08:46):
you gotta have that balance, I guess. And yeah, for me,
I mean, everybody gets nervous. I think if you say
you don't get nervous, you're lying. I think you know,
anytime you're throwing in front of fifty thousand people and
throwing a big spots, like, you're gonna feel those nerves.
But I think it's a matter of how you manage
them and how you view them, and that's kind of
what you know allows you to, I don't know, pitch
(09:09):
well in those spots, and I think for me it's
just a matter of accepting them and being like, yep,
I'm feeling it a little bit, but it's you know,
it's it's a good feeling to have because I think
if you didn't, then you wouldn't want to win and
you wouldn't care. So that's kind of where I'm at
with it, and I love it each time out that
you get those feelings. And as a starter, it's different.
You get the different spots, but you still get them.
So it's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It was I don't know if it was a heck
of a start yesterday, man. I mean the fact that
you're able to go is deepjar coming off a game
on Saturday where Blake's only able to go three nuts.
Are you able to walk away from that and feel
kind of like really good about Holy crap? I end
up getting through eight plus and through one hundred pitches
and help the team out and here we are today. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
I think for me, I'm pissed. You know, today sucks.
Anytime I give up runs, I hate it, you know.
I think that's just in my DNA and uh, you know,
people kind of got to bring me back to earth
on on those things. But I am you know, I'm
I'm always you know, happy to give the team innings
(10:09):
and happy to to get deep into a game. But
yesterday's is frustrating because you know, I turned one double
play and it's I'd probably throw a complete game if
I'm being honest with you, I probably you know, end
up being able to finish that game off or you know,
hand it over the bullpen with a lead. So that's
kind of what's frustrating to me is you know, I
didn't make a play and went up the mound and
(10:30):
kind of lost one high and you know, I ended
up hurting hurting me, So that's what was frustrating for me.
I mean, I think I threw the ball, Like, going
back and looking at it, I threw the ball pretty well.
It's pretty rare that you're going to face the lineup
four times through and facing those top three guys a
fourth time. Yeah, a couple of them got me. So
I'm I'm proud of the way through the ball yesterday.
At the same time, I think there's there's stuff I
can do better and at least. The stuff I can
(10:52):
do better is not really on the pitching side. It's
more of on the throw the damn ball the second
base side. So that's that's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
We're proud of here, am Justin rod Blest.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
You're joining right now on the Petterson Money Show on
AM five seventy LA Sports. I wish I would have
come down there now Matten shown him my ensemble. I
really feel like I did a good job.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You would have melted by now.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It is great.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's wearing all black. It is so hot down here,
so now I look.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Like a roadie.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
It's good tell us just because we are concerned about this,
especially for young, good looking guys like you, who are
you know, not from around here. We worry that, you know,
you might go Hollywood, get get caught up with the
wrong crowd.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
And it's not just you, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
We were even worried about the new UCLA coach and
he's in his forties, you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Know or something.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, we're a little bit concerned that you're, you know,
out doing crazy stuff during the week. Are you able
to control yourself here in La Justin I.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Like to be a little bit more low key, with
what I'm doing. You know, I'm I'm good. I'm good
with where I'm matt. I'm good here playing baseball. A
let's say, probably ninety percent of my time is spent here,
and then if it's not here, you might catch me
at a golf course.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
But that's really all it does is take one to
go buy one chain.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Well, then your chain is out, and that could change everything.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
You know what I mean, that's true, that's true. I
don't have to make a trip to buy a chain.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
So we're good, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Why are uh? Why does it seem like pitchers are
really good golfers. It's more so than position players. I
don't know. I don't know if you've noticed that, But
for whatever reason that's the case.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Well, first off, we have a little more time. Second,
I'll do it.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Second off, a lot of hitters are worried about their
their precious swing and messing it up and all this
and that, which whatever. I don't have a swing to
worry about. That's the swing I worry about. So that's
probably why.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
How good are you? What's your indyka?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Right now?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I'm at like a three and a half. I've been
as low as like a point five. I'm trying to
get to a plus plus by the end of the year, hopefully.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
But we'll see where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Where are you playing?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Uh? Anywhere I can, I'll play on MUNI I don't care.
See a lot of people are worried about this and that.
I just I just love to play golf, so I
mean wherever I can get on. It's pretty tough to
come by tea times here in La and.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Es playing under six hours?
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Yeah, playing six hours? Come on, I'm never gonna do that.
You know. I heard other people do not know who
I am.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
There's no more taking you to his fancy club.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
No one's taking me to anywhere fancy. I actually played
L A C.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
C a couple of weeks. Good.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
I shouldn't say that, but yeah, I've played a couple
of cool ones. But they don't normally let.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The celebrities out. You know. It's like all the old
money over there. They looked down their nose.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
And people like I don't know, they didn't even know
I was there.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Probably they slipped it out. Yeah, did you swing the
bat when you were a chief?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I swung the bat all the way through college, you know.
I was I was okay. I couldn't hit spin. I
can't see very well, so it was just it was like,
you know, last time I hit was you know, twenty
five game followed Juco and I hit like three hundred
with two homers, a bunch of doubles, whatever, But all
my outs were strikeouts and I wasn't having fun. When
(13:51):
I got to Okoma State, they told me not to
stop hitting, and then I threw my first my first
boll friend there like okay.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
You're you're okay, you're good.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No more hitting.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
But I had a helmet wreck there, so there was
a chance that I could hit there, so but yeah, no,
it's too hard.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
One of the great pacers and all of a Dodger baseball,
he loves the pace.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Yeah, that's my game. That's my game.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Has that always been your thing?
Speaker 7 (14:12):
That's my routine. I don't know, I don't know what
to tell you.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
It's just you know, once there's two outs, I do
a couple of dry reups and then I get up
here in the dugout and that's just what I do.
I mean, I'd rather not sit still. It probably keeps
me loose. And you know, it's gone well so far.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So you're a star.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Robleski, what was it real quick before we let you go?
What was the thing that hadn't happened Kates in like
what thirty forty years or something like that, zero strikeouts,
shut out and how many hits was it? It was
fewer than whatever it doesn't happen? Were you aware of
that in the momentere You're like, you know, I don't
have any strikeouts. This is kind of weird.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
I mean, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
This year's been weird for me because last year I
think I had like a twenty eight percent carry whatever
I was, you know, kind of learned how to strike
guys out. And then this year, and it might be
partially me trying to learn this abs thing and figure
out when guys swing. When they don't swing, they know
that I filled his own up, so it's a lot
of swings early in counts, which is what I'm trying.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
To get him to do.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
But I think it's been a little bit of an
anomaly to start the season as far as how few
people have been striking out. I think it's you know,
I'm probably more of like a six eight per nine guy.
That's probably where I'll settle. But yeah, it's it was funny.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
It's it's just.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Like, you know, I know I haven't been striking a
ton of people out. At the same time, I know
I've been making a lot of good pitches, and I
think as the stuff ticks up, you know, throughout the year,
I think we'll start getting that miss again.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
But yeah, it was funny.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
I mean I remember coming to dug out and me
like Mark, I mean, at some point these guys are
gonna miss this two strike pitch instead of hitting a
pop up or hitting it on the ground somewhere. But yeah,
it's it's it's funny. But at the same time, like
each outing, I'm trying to, you know, figure out what
the hitters are looking for and kind of try to
take advantage of that. And I think we've done a
pretty solid job up to this point.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I just got a text from David Vassay that says,
Robleski's mind.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You know, you don't you don't own people.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
I know, I know, I can't believe that guy.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
He's his own man, Roblesky. He could talk to wherever
he wants.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You tell him, Robleski exactly.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
All the reporters can can learn about what a great
guy you are. Thank you, Jack did have a great night.
Congratulations on all your success. It's great to watch it play.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
No, I appreciate it, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A lot of.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Man, a lot of man right there. Justin Robleski.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
We'll talk to David Vasse as we go along people
still freedom and.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Just walked by and he's like, yeah, wait to go,
robro I was like, hey, Frido and he didn't say
anything to me.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Andrew Friedman or Freddy Andrew usually he's our friend.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I know. I think he was just engaging with the
player and I was, you know, a lot of speed
bumping the way.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
If I was there with my shade T shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And stopped and chattered, it would have been nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
It would have been the sweetest taboo.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Then who's this idiot down here? Given me.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Puld be back?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Who's the hesher? Who let the hesher on the baseball?
Who's skin and all black? And it sure they tea shirt?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I've never felt better.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
We'll be back with mart Petros and Money on seventy
LA's two great interviews. A big thank you to Wan
and Dorado and and and No mar Garcia Para and
everybody helping us out, getting justin Robluski a great get
and a really interesting conversation. I can see why Vassa
is so possessive.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Geist.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Well, I don't know what. For whatever reason, we've had
a lot of luck with the young pitchers, you know,
for the I think the older guys know what idiots
we are in the talkers to you. Guys don't know
any better. They haven't learned yet.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
They want to. They're still looking to impress you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Guys, missed it you talking to Robleski.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Snell walks out of the clubhouse, gives Vassa the eyes
like come here, and like a dog just comes running over.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That Tom and Jerry Cartoon was spiking his little puff.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Can I tend the rabbits? George, Oh God, George, Can
I tend the rabbit? Can we have red ones and
blue ones and green ones? I's I'm a horse Monday
and Peterson Money and a Modela beats a lot of Monday.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Petros Papadakis, Matt Moneys, this is Petrosen money up on demand.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's cracking. Everybody, welcome back.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
It's Pettersen money on AM five seventy LA Sports. We
are your home of Dodger Baseball, and we've had some
great Dodger baseball love and insight on the station thus far.
No mar Garciapara joined us in the first hour from
Spectrum Sports net LA, and we just had a great
(18:41):
conversation down on the field, at least some of us
with the one and only Justin Robleski.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
But right now I think.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Matt's still on the field standing next to the one
and only David.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Vasse, and neither of them have their headphones on.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
It is time, David vase, we're standing right next to Matt.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Dave and I were talking, you know how he is, Well, yeah,
we're gonna talk to you. David's like, oh you are?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's okay. What could be more important than the radio show?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
David joins us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I could see you guys down there, Dave, how are
you Dan here?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You yet? Oh? Okay, Dave is getting the headphones.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Man, You guys are asleep at the switch. It's much
down there. It's a complete mess.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
That's a Petros I'm up here.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
You got too many steps in today in Chinatown with me.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
That's right, Dave and I took a nice long walk
at Chinatown, and I don't want to go down there anymore.
But we did have a great time walking through Chinatown.
You know what's in Chinatown A lot of Chinese people.
And I what I appreciate that. I like the fact
that it advertises Chinese and then it delivers it. If
you know what I'm saying, I'm not kidding. I mean,
you know there's a Chinese guy. There's a Chinese guy.
(19:58):
They're like, they're everywhere. It's awesome thing ever, all right, Dave,
first and foremost, how was your weekend here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
You're having a good time. I did have a good time.
There was good baseball played on Friday night. The good
baseball was played by the Dodgers. The last two nights,
the good baseball was played by the Atlanta Braves. But
Mookie Betts is back, and all of a sudden things
have changed in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Dave. We were talking to no Mark, Yeah, there we
go get those horns.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And we asked him about Blake Snell's start.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And oh, oh, so you had Nomar on we had
them on on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Somebody gave you a great guests, somebody gave radio.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
But he said he was impressed with what he saw
from Blake, that he thought the pitches were good, that
the hits, it wasn't hard hit balls. And he's like, yeah,
even though it's three innings, felt like there was some
real positives to take out of that kind of walk
us through that. And I'm sure you talked to him after.
How was he feeling about it?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, you could hear our full conversation with No More
and snell Zilla on the Dodger Talk podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. Sneil Zilla joined us on Mother's Day. What
says Happy Mother's Day more than the great snell Zilla?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I don't know. I don't know, dog.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But he was throwing a lot of he was throwing
a lot of slider. He was throwing a lot of
sliders to lefties. And I said, well, why would you
throw your sliders so much? Because it's your third best pitch.
And his thinking was that lefties can't hit his sliders
as well, but Matt Olsen hit his. And Matt Olsen
is not just another guy, He's an MVP Aussie Albi's
(21:30):
hit a ball that would have been hitting the dirt.
There were two broken bats, a lot of like Nomar said,
unlucky stuff. But I was surprised to hear Snell tell
us yesterday that he wants his fast bill to be better.
But his fastball was ninety five to ninety seven. But
he just wants better command. But his curveball was great
in the third inning and that's a good sign. His
(21:51):
next start will be against the Angels this weekend.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
This weekend in Anaheim Friday, Saturday, Friday.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
And I didn't want to break it to him, but
Jose Soriano is lined up to face Blake SNeW Friday
night in Anaheim. So I lost yet big pitching matchup
he has lost. He did lose one game, and he
pitched really well against the Blue Jays two days ago.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
The one and only David Vasse is our guest.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
He has got everything that you want when it comes
to the Dodgers. And that's right Blake Snell and the
great interview with Nomar, although we did a pretty good
one too.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
So what's the update from Nomar on Otani? Well, that's
uh I asked him about it. And then I just
started looking at my phone. But Dave, we did sit
there and talk today and you said something very interesting,
and I think it goes for all Dodger fans or
people that are around this team. No one's ever seen
Otani like this for this long. What's next? Yeah, I
(22:46):
don't know if you guys realize this, but it's shocking
the more I say it. Otani has one home run
in his last one hundred and two plate appearances. When
was the last time you could say that in a
Dodger uniform an Angel uniform. That's just not something that
you've seen from Otani in his career. And I know
everybody says twenty twenty, the shortened year, was his worst year.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, maybe, but nothing like this.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
So Nomar told us over the weekend, it's a lazy
take to say the pitching is taken away from the hitting,
and he explained why. And basically what Nomar said is
somebody's got to give one queue to make him forget
about the five things he's thinking about when he goes
to the plate, on top of before the game, thinking
about throwing. He was out here earlier today throwing. So
(23:32):
I feel like a guy like Nomar, who is not
going to approach any of these players they need to
approach him, would be a great, you know, quick conversation.
But what he was saying is Otani's flying out. You
see the helmet flying off when he swings his butt
is in the other team's dugout when he's That's not
(23:52):
something that is Otani like. So all of those things
Nomar identified and I tend to agree. I mean, Otani
has done the two before, but he is thirty one
years old, and that's a lot different, as you both know,
than being twenty seven years old and trying to do this.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Is that Do you think that applies to Freddy as well?
Just that two postseasons, two World Series runs, you're getting older,
because certainly we haven't seen him really in a funk
like this for this long either.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, and the Dodgers are in the middle of playing
thirteen in a row the last time we saw that.
By the end of it, guys like Freddy and Tascar Hernandez,
we're a little sluggish. The one thing I will say
about Freddy, on the last road trip, he hit he
got nine hits, he did have two doubles, and on
Friday night he hit a ninety seven fastball in the
(24:39):
sixth inning off of Chris Sale, so that's encouraging.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
He's driving the ball again.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
But yeah, like yesterday day game, after a night game,
Dave Robert sits ta Oscar Hernandez because he looked very sluggish.
It made sense today he's sitting lower in the lineup
than we've seen him in the last two years. But
he's not having great at bats, and you have a
guy like Alex call who's having great at bats. So
I think you have to manage guys like Rojas, Mookie
(25:05):
Betts who's coming back from an oblique injury. He's thirty three,
Freddy's thirty six, Taoskar's thirty three going on thirty four.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
It's a real thing. Yeah, David Vasse is a real guy, Dave.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
You know, it's kind of interesting because we've sort of
been holding back this.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
River of a narrative for a few years. But the
Giants are in town.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, and I gotta be honest, it doesn't feel as
big as the Padres, and it does look bigger than
the Angels come this weekend. Tell me I'm wrong, No,
you're right. The Giants are in complete disarray.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Tony Vytello has not made the smooth transition from college
to the big leagues. Just two nights ago, there was
a really embarrassing moment for the second time this year
where the bullpen was unsure of which reliever Vitella was
calling for. They were like, huh me righty lefty. Willia
Domis is signaling from the mound, like the lefty the lefty. Yeah,
(26:00):
that's embarrassing. And the Giants have the worst record in
the National League. They are floundering right now. Logan Webb
is on the injured list, so they're not going to
see him. They will see Robbie Ray in this series,
and then over the weekend. Yes, they get Soriano on Friday,
but the Angels literally have the worst record in Major
League Baseball. So this is a stretch of seven games
(26:22):
where the Dodgers should pad the wins.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Dave Freeland going down, you talked about it, and you know,
having that prospect that's celebrated and maybe seeing if you
give him a little bit more room, but he ends
up being the guy with Mookie coming back that goes
down where you're surprised by that and you think they
made the right decision.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I do believe they made the right decision. Kim's batting average,
even though it slowed down a little bit, is still
over three hundred. He's got the speed, he's got the defense.
Alex Friedland was given a big opportunity. He got ninety
eight at bats from opening day until yesterday. His defense
was very good. But the reality is he didn't hit.
He's hitting two thirty with a NOPs under seven hundred.
(27:01):
Kim's just outplayed him and it stinks for him. But
he had his chance and he didn't seize it. So
Kim is gonna play second base tonight with Mookie Bets
back at shortstop. But like I said on opening day,
just because you don't make the opening day roster doesn't
mean you're not going to make an impact on the season,
saying with Alex Freeland, he's got to go down there,
(27:23):
get better and believe that he's going to get another opportunity.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
All right, Dave, we're gonna cut you loose, all right,
thank you, and have my blakes are down here, Snell
and Tryning.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Trenton's got a new Blonts dash. I don't know what
that's about. Snell Zilla's talking to some of his team
snell Zilla Kids. He has it mail Zilla now have
like a card breaking he does sal Zilla breaks. And
he has a new sunflower seed brand that he handed out.
Maybe I'll grab one for Tim Kats. He saw that.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Okay's kind of dismissed me. He kind of crunched his
nose up at you. Oh my god, he's skimmed up
his faith a little bit.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Hey, there's no.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Mar there's my guest from Saturday that petros and money
ripped off.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
You know, I don't know if you know this day,
but otimas signing autographs for kids.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Dave, don't take Hi away from the kids.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
I'm trying to say some autograph. You're interrupting us. I'm sorry, apologize.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I don't know if you know this day, but Otani's
sticking his butt out real far.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
You know when you reach it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, yeah, see what happens. I just got to remember
one thing, the five things you poisoned, no more against
me earlier today I can publish the weekend he talked

Bert and Chris and the whole Harbor staff for putting
together a nice community event. Went over to the Van
Alsteins for a fundraiser for the Seal Beach All Stars.
They're playing some good ball. He was asking where you,
(31:55):

but they expected you to show up as well. Very
rarely go anywhere, but more tacos. The Steven Albatrio playing
a bunch of super hasher style classic rock for the
twelve year old All Stars. Yeah, it was pretty great
when they crank out war pigs and you see the
kids look a little scared. It was a hell of
an event.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
So it's like my orthodox rankae playlist.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Sunday a double surf because that's how I celebrate my
wife for Mother's Day and the mother of our children.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Wasn't as chippy as the Shamanad game.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
It got chippy in the fourth quarter, but credit to
Village players, it was at that point they knew it
was over.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
I heard that Shamanad coach didn't handle himself. Well, no,
he never does.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Sunday, mother, Oh, Saturday night, we went to dinner at
Jose Alito's in Montrose, right on Honolula Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
So us a little I was cheating. I got to say,
don cuco's, but got do what you got?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Would my wife say if she knew I was laying
with this horrors.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
Alito like a Santae Samuel says, has been cheating utters
in elementary school. So I went to Jose Alito's. I
got for dinner Sunday. Mother didn't do much, just kind
of hung out, watched the Dodger game. That went to
dinner at Finney's.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
You watched the Ducks game, and that was last night.

We watched the Ducks game, said Sunday.
Speaker 9 (34:10):

all gathered around the telly and watched the Ducks beat
up on those stinking Vegas nights.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
That's my weekend, Ronnie.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
I had a nice weekend myself. Saturday, I was at
Burly doing a little backyard cleanup, and in the early
afternoon I went shopping for my wife to get her
something nice for Mother's Day. On the way back, I
stopped at the yardhouse, had some sliders in a pop
sitting at the bar all by myself, like a loser
watching me and all that way.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
But that's not you know, you know what. I had
a good time people like that. I had a good time. Yeah,
I saw that nobody wants to be friends.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
Saturday evening we picked up some Chinese food and just
kept it quiet the rest of the night. And Sunday
we gathered the family for brunch at Julian and Sydney's house,
and her mother's Shannon was there, and her great grandma
Mary was there. My son Adrian and his fiancee Valerie
were there as well, and my wife made pancakes. Quite
a spread, blueberry chocolate chip and of course the old
(35:06):
fashioned classic buttermilk pancakes.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Quite a spread.
Speaker 10 (35:09):
Of course, anytime we get to spend with the twins
is a bonus on top of everything else. And we
had a wonderful Mother's Day celebrating the mothers in our lives.
I hope you had a great Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Two, Pete, Hey, leave the mothers out.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Of this all right.

alone and ate at the fantastic ed Lamida, which is
quite good.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
You went alone?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, going alone is the new thing.
Speaker 5 (35:45):

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Craig is laughing because he knows. You know, they tested
the rats with all that.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Is trying to run.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Everybody's like, oh, the rats are gonna kill us all
with the hand of various and greets like those are
wild rats. The rats and captivities poop is not nobody
cared about when Gene Hackman's wife died a Handtavarius, right,
we weren't all. We didn't quarantine Hackman's house anyway on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It's dead for days. When they find the wife, everybody
terrible scene rigor has set in.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
That's terrifble and set out, Oh matt Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
After I went to yoga on Sunday, I went and
bought flowers for my mother and my wife, and uh,
I took my on Fletcher and we went to see
my little brother Dimitri and his Asian children, and then
went to my parents' house.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
They're just so much more charming than the rest.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Of Searchlane because they are looking kids and and then
I went to see my father and my mother.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
And that was my day on a Sunday. So that
was that, and we'll be back. You know.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Tani's in the slump when he's taking batty practice. Out
of here. Boys, see yeah, he's in the cage right now.
Want to lose? Look at that straight pop up.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Do you think you think Ronnie was a loser eating
those sliders by himself. Look at Otani out there taking corn,
taking batting practice like a layperson.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
In the opposing dugout, no hat, no helmet, Matt, you
might appreciate this. God, look at that kid.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Did you see that.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Straight stole that ball and banged his shins on the
bleachers leaping for the Otani batting practice home run grab.
I think one of them old dudes see him in
the He's got the white jersey on in the very
last yellow section on the sidewalk between. He's now walking
toward us right now, just leapt and snatched that ball away.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
This is how the two old men must have felt
like in trading places when they were bagging on the street.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Look at this, I mean, just talk about rags to rich.
Look at them.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Look at them trying to track it again, little kids,
trying to get it lined up.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
And here the old men just hit that one out
of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Out of the stadium.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
That was like the World Series when Stephen Nelson said.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Rick Monday still has PTSD from.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
That one elder abuse. That's like the poster for elder abuse.
That's like in a Happy Gilmour when they Ben Stiller
keeps beating up on his grip.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
All right, we'll be back.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
