David Basse jumps on the show here at about one
twenty again, Jason Hayward. If you did not hear DFA today,
they activated Chris Taylor, They're keeping Kermeyer and they have
(00:42):
dfaid Jason Hayward, So Dave will be on to talk
about that. Jason coming up in a.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Bit bit of a shocker. But we knew last night
that Dave Roberts said, Hey, look, team's gonna look different.
In a couple of days. Cet is coming back. Team's
gonna look different. Kermeyer's been playing really well and outside
of the home run. Yeah, it's hard. If Jason Hayward
doesn't hit that home run, it's all yeah, completely, yeah,
I get it. Chas there, but he hits the big
home runs, one of the biggest home runs of the year.
(01:09):
So it's it's tough, but I get it, and I
get why Hayward's the odd man out.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All right, David vast ail band to talk about that.
You know, in the state of California, if you go out,
bartenders can't serve between two and six am. That's why
you get your last call about one fifteen, one thirty
two o'clock. Got to shut it down. That's the law.
Those are the rules, except as you said, maybe my basement. Sure,
but now I go to bed at nine fifteen at night,
(01:35):
so that wouldn't be the case anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Oh wow, yeah, you go to bed that early?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, I lied?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Oh okay, I go like ten.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's ten thirty, ten forty five.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Ten thirty okay, ten thirty, ten forty five okay. All right.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I gotta tell you, not doing the eleven is a
life saver. It is just that extra hour makes all
the difference. It really does. When I did the eleven
o'clock News it was like, ugh, it was at the beginning.
It was great because people actually watched it. Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah sure yeah, now no, and it was like, oh
(02:06):
my god, could I just please go to sleep anyway?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Like George can stands and build a bed under your desk,
and so when you in between the six and the eleven,
you just sat there for a nap.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I used to do it in my chair, sitting in
my office. I was like a horse. I could sleep
standing up. People walk by my mother unopen and you'd
hear these sounds.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh it's him.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Just just stay out of Fred's office. Just stay you
don't want to fine.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
All right, So you can't serve between two and six
am except maybe one place, maybe one, and that one
place could be the Intuit Doome with a Clippers play.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Lawmakers in California have tried and failed to extend last
call laws, but now, very quietly, a bill could change
that time prohibition, but only for a select group VIP
suite hole holders at Englewood's new intwoit Dome. Steve Baumer's
(03:04):
behind the bill, and the deal is this, if you
go to a Clipper game and you're a VIP suite holder,
right game ends at what time eleven, you would be
able to stay in your suite and drink until four am.
The only place you would be able to do that
(03:27):
is the Intuit Dome. Wow, and lawmakers are considering passing
this bill. So as a you know, and we yesterday
some news came up on a ticket prices for Clipper
games at the Intwit Dome, and they're pretty pricey. Sure,
they're pretty pright. And so if the team wins, if
you can drink till four in the morning, of course
it is yeah according to the four Yeah sure great, yeah.
(03:50):
According to this a suite, for example, for one game
is ten grand. You go, whoa ten grand? Do you know?
That's what the sweets really cost. You know, that's really
what they cost. I mean you see ten grand and
you go, oh my god, who has that kind of money.
Let me tell you what the people about it. Sweet,
you have that kind of money. That's what they cost.
So don't be like, oh, this is incredible, it's so
(04:12):
much money.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's not, because that's kind of what they are, between
eight and ten grand. But if you're one of those sweets,
if this bill passes, you can get liquored up all
you want. You can get drunk, fall asleep in the suite,
get up and leave. You can keep drinking at four am.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, let's go shoot baskets. Let's go shoot baskets. Come on,
let's get down there. We go shoot baskets.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, who knows, who knows what they would let people do.
There's nobody in there, but they're sweeth holders and the bartenders.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's such a weird phenomenon about I'll be in this arena,
this twenty thousand seed arena, stay to the art, and
I'm one of like fifteen people. It's like a horror movie.
I'm when of fifteen people. Slowly people start disappearing over
the course of the night. It's just a that just
sounds so strange that I'll be in this suite and
I can drink till four of them are now. Now,
(05:01):
I grew up, you know, I grew up in New York.
And New York the bars are open til four, and
some bars kind are a little loose with that, where
there's plenty of times like I would be at a
bar till four and they would just close the doors,
not let people in and just say, hey, who wants breakfast.
We're gonna make breakfast. Oh yeah, great, I'll have breakfast. Sure,
it's four o'clock in the morning. It is a long
(05:23):
night when you are out at a bar until four
o'clock in the morning. And for me, who is the
original bar guy going out in college and after school,
oh yeah, oh yeah, it's great. It's great. Like there's
times like I'll go out with my friends at eight o'clock,
I realize I'll go, oh my god, it's four in
the morning. I'm not tired, but I feel like I've
just done a shift here, Like I did eight hours.
They did eight to four here at a bar, and boy,
I gotta get up in three hours ago to work.
(05:45):
This is this is not gonna be any fun. It
gets really long. But man, I'll tell you the the
the the two to four freedom is just it. It's
it's I want to say intoxicating, but obviously it goes
along with that. Uh, it really is some thing to
do that. And yeah, as everybody stayed up late hanging
out a house drinking until three fourty, well yeah, but
(06:06):
it is something different when you're doing it out and
you're doing it at a bar and you're doing it
somewhere else, and yeah, just make sure you get right home,
make sure you get rise, make sure you uber, make
sure you live, make sure you do. But there is
just something about that that's like, Man, it's three thirty
in the morning, and I'm hanging out and I'm in
the Intoit dome and I'm shooting baskets and they're yelling
at eating it off the court. Now, I just want
to go back up and get another drink because I
(06:26):
got like forty five minutes to last call. Because it's
three fifteen in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
What good can come from this? Really, what good can
come from this? No good can come from this. I'm
gonna stay here. I mean, so if the game's over
an eleven, yeah, all right, everybody leave. Every thank you
for coming to the INTWO with Doom. Yeah, we hope
you enjoyed your Clipper experience. Drive safely, good night, except
(06:52):
for you people. If you're up here, you don't have
to leave. And now we're keeping a bar open.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Bill four a m. Hey, Fred, there's a certain postgame host.
If the game doesn't go right midnight, he gets off.
Maybe he needs a couple of drinks of Kawa is
not playing that night or something.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I can understand. I understand, Adam, I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's only for one place. We're gonna all right, let's
pass this law. Okay, So who's a play.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Change happens in small increments that one place, and then
pretty soon it'll be the bar on the west side,
a bar here, bar here. Pretty soon, Hey, four o'clock
in the morning for it. Back in twenty twenty two,
they tried it. But what they tried it was to
(07:45):
bars and nightclubs only in West Hollywood, San Francisco and
Palm Springs that didn't pass.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
That didn't pass. So you could be out to four
am and West Hollywood, San Francisco or Palm Springs now
and spot the Intuit dome. I hope it passes. It passes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's gotta be safe, right to mean where else that Okay,
you can drink till four, but you're in a huge dome.
You can't easily get to your car, you can't easily
upset other people around you, because it's only a handful
of you here. It's almost, you know, it's almost like
a post apocalyptic movie. I'm stuck with these people. I
don't even know. Ah, let's drink till four in the morning.
(08:27):
So I get that, Hey, we want to put this
and start this off in something that is about as
safe as you possibly could be. And yeah, I mean, hey,
in the middle of a big dome, a twenty thousand
seed arena with people you don't even know. Yeah, stay
till four in the morning, make new friends, and the
Intuit dome is going to use face scanning technology to
verify drinkers are over twenty one.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The future is here.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Not IDs face scanning technology.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, don't get a fake, You're Fake's no good here,
So look into this camera.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So basically, face off has become a real thing now.
Like if I like, if I want to if I
want to be younger and I want to drink, like
I can, I can, Or if I'm younger and I
want to be older, I can kind of saw the
face off like they did with Nicholas Cage and John
travolt even though it didn't make sense because you gotta
saw under to it, just not just around the front.
But like if you did that and I swapped faces
(09:19):
with someone who was older, I could then drink if
I'm underage, correct, just go to the Intuitdome. Okay, face
face off is real and the Atuit Doome has drinking
till four in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:38):

and the Petro Some Money Summer Tour Today for your
chance to win tickets for Jason Smith and.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Today around nine am this morning from a source that
the Dodgers were going to designate for a sign I'm
in Jason Hayward because of Chris Taylor returning. I was
surprised because I thought maybe the Dodgers could convince Chris
Taylor to wait until September first, when the rosters expand,
because it would have been advantageous to be able to
(10:17):
hold on to all three of these bubble players and Hayward,
Kirmeyer and Chris Taylor, especially since Hayward has been a
decent bat as a pinch hitter from the left side
four for eight, had the big, go ahead three run
home run the other night. But this is surprising because
of the way the Dodgers had been portraying Jason Hayward
(10:39):
as a clubhouse leader. This is not the way you
treat a so called clubhouse leader.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Is this something, David, where they're hoping, Hey, DFA, he
passes through and somehow they can find his way to
a better solution for the month of September.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
No, I mean they've already done the thank you Jason
tweet on the Doctor's official account. I don't see that
happening now. I mean, I was at merientication. He's not
coming back.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Uh, Dave, could Chris Taylor have said, let me sit
a little while longer here before I come back. I mean,
was that a realistic possibility.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I got the sense yesterday it was not that he
was ready and he wanted to come back. And I'm
not sure how these mechanisms work these days, because I
know Major League Baseball track's injuries a little bit more
closely than in years past. But I find it. I
guess in Taylor's spot, it's tough that he's healthy, he's ready,
(11:40):
he's made swing changes, and he was actually playing better
the last twenty six games before he got hurt. I mean,
he had an eight thirty ops the strikeouts were down considerably.
He was only striking out at a twenty one percent clip,
so he was getting better before he got hurt. But
what's the rush to bring Chris Taylor back? Because where
(12:02):
is he going to play? I just don't know what
the urgency was to bring back Chris Taylor before September first,
unless Chris Taylor was really pushing to come back and
force the Dodgers into a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, that's the thing, David. Now, with this coming, if
they could have pushed it to September first, do you
see any sort of how this will affect the lineup
on on a daily basis and any sort of clues. Hey, okay,
CET's back, so this is likely what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
No, that's the thing, right, Jason. The Dodgers have a
set lineup. There is no real platoon anymore. Not in
the outfield. You got Kevin Kiermeyer out there, you got
Tommy Edmonds when Miguel Rojas doesn't play, Edmund's at short,
Keer Myers in center. You have Kei k Hernandez, who
in a lot of ways as a repetitive player in
(12:52):
that Chris Taylor category, and That's why Jason Hayward did
serve a purpose. He was a a left handed bat
off the bench that you could couple with Kevin Kiermeyer.
Kier Meyer could have been your first left handed bat
early in the game off the bench if you needed,
and you had Jason Hayward coming off the bench later
for a different situation. So look, all these guys, kier Meyer,
(13:17):
especially Jason Hayward, were bubble players. And we can't ignore
the fact that Chris Taylor is under contract for one
more year at a sizable amount of fourteen million dollars. So,
as they say in professional sports, money plays.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Dave, what happened last night between Flarerty and a Rose Arena.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Randia Rose Arena overreacted. Flerity was not trying to hit
him in that situation. It got him on the side
there on his left side. And you know, Randia Rose Arena,
like many Mariners, is frustrated with their offense, frustrated with
their team. They just fired their manager, Scott Service. So
I feel like that was a frustrated player that got
(13:58):
traded to a team that he doesn't really see it
in with and was trying to put on a show
in La.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
David with the last few days, getting the sweep, getting healthy.
Now the lineup is deep again. Gavin Lux has been
terrific the last couple of months. Now, Max Munths he
looks like he's picking up right where he left off.
The sense outside, you know, all all of us, he's like, Hey,
the Dodgers weathered that storm and now they're back to
being the Dodgers again. Did you do you get that
(14:27):
on the inside as well, that hey, they got through
and Mookie is back and now they have some clarity
and Flarerty's turned out to be what they really wanted
in starting pitcher, and now hey, we're back to being
the Dodgers again.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, no doubt. Offensively, their offense is back to being
the Dodgers. They're making it really difficult for good pictures
like we saw against the Mariners to be able to
even last five innings. So that is something of an
identity we've seen with Dodger offenses in the past, and
now having this one through nine certainly is back to
(14:59):
that identity. The only thing that's going to prevent the
Dodgers from really taking off and separating themselves from the
rest of the division is they're starting pitching. Tyler Glass
now who is saying he was going to be back
by the end of this homestand all of a sudden
now is still not throwing the baseball. You have Yamamoto
not coming back until the middle of September. Walker Buehler,
(15:22):
and Bobby Miller are still trying to find themselves. So
really the only three guys that you can count on
are Flaherty, Gavin Stone, and Clayton Kershaw. So that's the
only thing that would prevent the Dodgers from really taking
off is questionable starting pitching and some still injured starting pitching.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well, I'll tell you something that's helping him is Max Munsey.
It really is surprising that he has come back from
the injured list good this fast date.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, especially when we saw him for the first day
at Dodgers Stadium on Monday. He was telling us that
missing three months in the leaks is like missing three
years trying to get your timing back. But his timing
looked pretty good, So I feel like that's important. Max
is an emotional player and he kind of needs results
to stick with whatever he'd been working on in the
(16:16):
process of coming back. So those results that we saw
in the Mariners series. Two home runs a double six
RBIs is certainly big for his psyche.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And you talked about the pitching a little bit, and
obviously that's the big question mark, you know, a little
bit of clarity. Now Flaherty has been well top of
the rotation. You mentioned Yamamoto and you know, look at
to borrow phrase from Fred Now, I don't want to
be Debbie Downer, but I feel like, you know, hey,
to expect him to come back middle of September, is
that a little bit too much to ask? Okay, maybe
you have to realize maybe we've seen the last of
(16:49):
him this season, because when you start pushing comebacks to
the end of the year, getting to the playoffs, are
they really gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, that's a fair question. You know, Yamamoto feels good,
Jason and the Dodgers are just being really cautious with him,
so they have them for the postseason. So and even
if he gets into the postseason, how far are the
Dodgers really going to push him? Maybe five innings, that's
usually what their mo is in the postseason, especially not
(17:17):
really letting their starters, especially their starters not face the
lineup a third time, So the expectations are not for
him to throw a complete game in the playoffs, but
to give them at least five innings. So with that
being said, two or three starts seems to be feasible.
But it's a fair point. He's missed a few months here.
(17:38):
It's hard to come back and be thrust into a
pennant race. The only thing I could say is the
Dodgers are facing the Rockies and Marlins, not of their
last twelve games of the season, so soft landing maybe.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah. Dave Roberts said he is now managing as if
he is managing in the playoffs. Have you noticed that, Dave?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, without a doubt. He's got more edge than any
of his players these days. He's really managing with a
lot of urgency. Yeah, I definitely see that. And I
taped an interview with Dave to play on Dodger Talk
tonight at six o'clock, so you'll hear that edgy playoff
Dave Roberts tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Hey, speaking of managers, the reports come out today the
Mariners are going to fire Scott's service. They cut their
postgame short last night on TV and they didn't go
to him talking and there's all kinds of crazy stuff
going on. Ken Rosenthal reporting that he's going to be
let go. Was there any of that around the game runs?
Do you hear any about any of that stuff last night?
Because the Dodger's firing a manager, that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, right, getting a manager fired and Scott's service. My
understanding is that there was a closed door meeting after
last night's game in the Mariners clubhouse and they kicked
everybody out of that clubhouse that was not a Mariner
player or a coach. And I'm sure they broke the
news to the players last night in that meeting that
(19:04):
they were going to let Scott's Service go and Jerry
Depoto might not be too far behind. Remember when the
Angels media was taking Jerry Depoto's side over Mike Sooshias, yep,
oh that works out.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I do remember that, Dave like wow, And I actually
was shocked they hired Dipoto.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
In Seattle, so was everybody else that knows what Jerry
Depoto's about.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, he had that big quote like we're here to
win fifty four percent of our games, or we we
aspire to win fifty four percent of our games?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Like what that really will sell the tickets, and.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
My bind tickets are a game that we're trying for.
Is it one of the fifty four percent or just
one of.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, exactly exactly. Can you just please let us know
which percentage of game?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
This is?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
All right, Dave, So we'll wrap it up with this.
They're making moves, the Dodgers. They got a day author
back at it tomorrow. Are you comfortable with where they're
at right now?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I am.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I'm curious to see what the ripple effect is is
in that clubhouse tomorrow, because you know, honestly, I thought
it was a little overstated how much of a leader
Jason Hayward was in the clubhouse. Don't get me wrong,
he was one of the most respected players in that clubhouse.
But it's hard to be that guy when you're not
(20:28):
playing every day, and if you are playing every day,
you're not performing that well. But he was really respected.
I've called him my life coach a few different times.
So he definitely was a guy that players could go
to with anything and he would listen and give great advice.
So in that respect, he was a great leader. But unfortunately,
(20:51):
the reason why he was a bubble player and now
dfak was because he was playing every day and he
wasn't performing well. And it all started, according to him,
after the flight to Korea, where his bat kind of
locked up and he just never seemed to be himself
like we saw last year, David, a situation.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Like this, Will Dave Roberts talk to the team about
this tomorrow and explain or it's just business as usual
and that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, I don't know how the dynamics of that work, Fred,
These are all grown men. They understand the situation. And
quite honestly, Jason Hayward was told after last night's game,
they had this conversation with him last night that they
were going to make this move today. So I'm sure
all that happened last night.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
All right, Well, thanks for working on your day off.
Do't you talk tonight at six? You'll have Dave Roberts.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Dave appreciate it, Thank you, all right, thanks guys.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
All right, there he goes David vassa.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Playoff mode, Dave Roberts. Playoff Dame. We got to call
him playoff Dave now because now he's playoff Dave. What
is playoff Dave? Got tonight?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Playoff Dave well, would that correspond with playoff P?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Sure? Sure, okay, playoff P.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Playoff Dave didn't go so well for playoff P.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No, but this is playoff Dave. It doesn't just because
it didn't go well for playoff P. Playoff Dave, it
could be different. Well, according to Bill Plash, you had
better be different. Well, you know what it means. It's
gonna be We're gonna go be a bullpen a lot more.
It's gonna be like there may be you may do
a new picture every inning. It might be like the
All Star Game. Guy starts the first inning, reliever in
the second, and you got the third, fourth, fifth. He's
got to get ready, Hey, playoff Dave's got to get
(22:27):
in that bullpen playoff mode. You gotta get ready sometime.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Did you hear that rule they were kicking around starters
have to go six innings pitches or give up four runs.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Playoff Dave would not like that. Playoff Dave would not
be a fan of that rule. I don't know how you.
I don't know how you I get that rule in theory, Like, hey,
we want to make sure the pictures pitch longer and
it's less taxing for both. I get it, but really
you can like, like what if it's like yeah, but
there's just so many things, Like if a guy has
(22:58):
an inning two inning where he throws thirty pitches, like
that's really stressful. You want to take the guy out
and you can't take them out. No, You've got to
keep going because you haven't given up enough runs yet. Well, okay,
I mean, I just think the easier thing that is
to say, hey, let's just put an extra couple of
people on the active roster and it's strictly for bullpen pitches.
You can't hide anybody there. You can't hide position players there.
(23:21):
We're gonna give you two extra slots, and this is
what it's gonna be. You're gonna have an X number
of players for your position that you can have on
the team, and an X number of pitchers and that's
what you have to have. And I think that would
fix everything, and that would stop the blowing out of
bullpen arms. All right. I'm a commissioner too, Fred, just
like you.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, yeah, but my ideas are far more dramatic and better.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Give give the best draft picks to the best teams,
give the worst draft picks to the worst teams. That's
Fred Rogan's NFL and NBA for you right there.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Reward success, reward success, don't penalize it.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Rewarded. You get rewarded success by money from playoff games
and winning and winning championships. That's your reward you get.
You get the reward. No, you're punishing the teams that stink.
That's you and they're trying. Yeah, there's a couple of
things that tank. Okay, there's a couple of teams that tank,
and I get that. But by and large, you talk
about the middle of the pack teams that are trying
to make the playoffs but they can't make it. And
(24:16):
you're like, nope, and you're not good enough. We're not
gonna help you get better. You are definitely not gonna
pick high in the draft. Good luck.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
It's not our job. Our job is to win. If
we can win, then we won.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Boy. Hey, sorry Chicago Bears. You would love to get
Kayleb Boys, but instead, Hey, the Chiefs are gonna draft
Kayleb Williams because they're gonna need somebody after Patrick Mahomes.
So Caleb's gonna sit for about seven or eight years
and then he's gonna become the quarterback the Bear.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
It wouldn't be an issue for the Bears. They'd be relegated.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Hey, the Bears are playing the Argonauts this week in
the CFL, because that's what you are now, a game
that's gonna be I think the same thing should happen
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I've said him many times. Relegated to the G League,
you would.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Have tonight Rapid City, South Dakota welcomes to Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's it, figure it out, get yourself out of the
G League.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The Pistons would never get out of the G League.
I mean, come on, they would even get out of there. Oh,
G League teams playing.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All right, let's have a word from Jacob. So, when
you're injured in an accident, one of the first calls
you'll receive is from the other person's insurance company. They
want to give you money. Don't fall for that trick.
They're offering you money to replace or repair your vehicle.
But will that cover your medical bills? And he lost
wages for time missing work? Safe to say the answers, No,
you shouldn't have to pay any money out of your
(25:38):
pocket to fix your car. Go see the doctor and
if you're missing work. In turn, it is making your
paycheck less than normal. Why would you do that to yourself?
You know who to call Jacob. Jacob will deal with
the insurance company, help with the rental car, and schedule
your doctor's appointments with nothing coming out of your pocket.
That's right, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Well,
Jacob helps take care of you and gets you the
(25:58):
settlement you deserve. When you call an attorney, you want
one who was respected. Call Jacob because he is the
real deal. Call Jacob at eight four four to twenty four.
Jacob eight four to four to twenty four Jacob or
visit called Jacob dot com. Hey, Colin said something yesterday
Jason about the Rams. Now let's talk about that next
(26:20):
and you tell me if you agree. Series MVP. Prior
to his MLB career, I had a watershed moment while
attending Cosumus River College and Sacramento. After entering the program
as a pitcher, the coaching staff convinced him to focus
on being a hitter and an outfielder, where he would
ultimately end up being named Bay Valley Conference Most Valuable
(26:43):
Player for the nineteen ninety three season. Start your future.
At California Community College, financial aid is available to help
with tuition, books, sometimes even the rent. It's time to
take the next big step. Classes can't fill quickly, so
enrolled today, I can go to college dot com justson.
I don't know if you heard what Colin said yesterday
(27:04):
about the Rams.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Listen, I am today declaring the Rams the new America's team. Yes,
they win when America watches. They're the most rated franchise,
the most duplicated franchise, the most copied franchise, never in
cap hell. They've changed the way you treat players, how
(27:26):
you practice without pads. Players want to be here. They
come to rehab their image and leave, and when they
leave they say things like, it's the greatest two years
of my life. Cowboys, Packers, Steelers, You're never on TV
in January.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What do you think of that? Look? I agree with
a lot of his points on the Rams because they
have become that model franchise. A lot of it's Sean
McVay because of what he's been able to do and
the philosophy of hey, f those picks and being able
to never have to pay the piper for continuing to
sign players and spending money. They're never in trouble. They're
(28:05):
never in salary cap trouble. They keep having money, they
keep doing things. But I'll give you, I'll go one
step further for you. In one year, they went from
being the oldest team in the NFL to the youngest
team in the NFL. And I don't know if they
still are technically because maybe with what moves teams have
made over the course last couple of months. But going
into the season, your youngest team, and it's gonna be
(28:27):
hard for me to not pick them to go to
the super Bowl this year because offensively they are absolutely loaded.
You're talking about playmakers everywhere. Whittington is gonna be really good.
He's pushing two to at well to being a specialist now. Offensively,
they are whoever runs the football runs it well. Whether
it's Williams, it'll be korm if he runs, whether it's
Royce Freeman who came off as couch to have a
(28:48):
couple of big games last year. I know the defense,
there's a big thing without Aaron Donald. But they made
a lot of changes which are needed, and I trust
what they're doing personnel wise. Telling I think everybody sleeping
on the Rams this year to Hertsfey did not pick
them to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
It's interesting because when they were in Saint Louis, you know,
they were a dumpster fire, and the fans in Saint
Louis were apoplectic because they claimed the Rams never did
anything to improve that team. But of course they weren't
going to do anything to improve that team because they
wanted to get out of Saint Louis. And the only
way the NFL lets you relocate is if you can
make a case that attendance is down and you can't
(29:25):
generate as much revenue. So what happens is when teams
want to relocate, they just run themselves into the ground.
Same thing happened when the Rams weren't Anaheim to move
to Saint Louis, Jorge, you just ran it into the ground. Okay,
now we can sell them go. So that's what they do.
And it's interesting that they have given what people thought
(29:46):
they were put together this magnificent organization and front office
where they are able to do these kinds of things.
I've mentioned it in the past. Kevin Demofs sent a
letter out the season ticket holders last year. Sorry for
the season started basically, sorry, we know it's going to
be a tough year. We've got to we've got to
rebuild or kind of reconstruct. So hang with us. Hang
(30:11):
with us, at least I'm being honest. Then they play
the way they did and they turn out like that.
To me, it's it's really one of the great success
stories I think in sports, the Rams and that organization
and then going as you point out, from the oldest
roster to one of the youngest rosters and continuing to win.
But it all comes down to the health of Matthew Stafford.
(30:32):
That's it. He gets hurt, they're done.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He showed he's still an elite quarterback. You watch him
play the last seven eight weeks the last year. Hey,
I'm healthy, I'm still really really good. And look, I
even love look to talk about how they do things
the right way and this is how you foster a
culture of winning and why how you can flip one
year and still be a quarterback or still be a
Super Bowl favorite. Normally you see what you see teams
(30:55):
in the preseason. Hey, we're not gonna play our starting quarterback.
So here's four or five eyes who are gonna play
a quarter apiece, Right, what do you really get? This
guy was five out of seven. This guy was two
out of six. No, the Rams are playing Stetson Bennett
like he's playing at Georgia. He's playing the entire game.
He's playing four quarters. It's we gotta see what we
have in this guy. Are you the long term solution
(31:17):
for us as a backup? Could you be a starting solution.
We're not gonna let you. Oh, we're gonna ease you
back at No. It was I'm coming off of the
of the injured list I was on last year and
all the mental health he went through. It's like, we're
throwing you right back in. He's gonna play probably the
whole game this weekend, like all of a sudden. No, No,
we're not gonna try six or seven guys. We're gonna
play one guy. He's gonna play the entire game, and
(31:38):
we're gonna see what we have. And that's groundbreaking. Teams
don't do that anymore. It's all we're gonna let this
guy go here and this guy player, and what do
you really get? Well, we only have as a small
surplus of tape. Well, when you're talking about the backup quarterback,
which is a big decision to make. This is how
much they're investing in doing it, And every move they
make turns out like it's like it's minus, it's ever
(32:00):
everything they do turns out goal. Whatever decision you think
they make, all this good. Nope, works out great, works
out great for them. They figured it out. Oh well, well,
what's gonna happen here? What are they gonna do? How
are we gonna go out of all the salary cap Hell? Nope,
we're out of it. Well, how are we? Nope, we're
out of it? Oh okay, how are you gonna get
out of this?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Now?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
We're gonna trade Jared Goff and we're gonna send a
couple of first round picks because we don't care about
picks because they're overrated. Because if you don't get the
picks right, it doesn't matter if you're taking the picks,
it's a crapshoot. We're gonna send these picks. We're gonna
at the quarterback we need. We going with the super Bowl? Okay,
how are we gonna rebound? Here? We have a half
season where things were a little dicey, and then we
turn in one of the top five teams in the
NFL the last half of last year, everything they do.
(32:35):
I do everything I can to keep this team toge.
I tell Sean mcvagh, what the hell do you want
for the next ten years? What keeps you off of television,
from taking a break, from coming back? What keeps you
everything else? Front office? I keep everything in place because
it's just it's like a machine right now. All right?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Did you have the controversy about Aaron Judge?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Not only that it involves my hometown and the Permetown newspaper.
This is great.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
We'll talk about it next
And we continue on Fred Rogan, Jason Smith and today
for Rodney on five to seventy LA Sports and this
is it. This is today. Join us at the Van's
World headquarters and coast to Mason starting at three, last

David Basse jumps on the show here at about one
twenty again, Jason Hayward. If you did not hear DFA today,
they activated Chris Taylor, They're keeping Kermeyer and they have
(00:42):
dfaid Jason Hayward, So Dave will be on to talk
about that. Jason coming up in a.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Bit bit of a shocker. But we knew last night
that Dave Roberts said, Hey, look, team's gonna look different.
In a couple of days. Cet is coming back. Team's
gonna look different. Kermeyer's been playing really well and outside
of the home run. Yeah, it's hard. If Jason Hayward
doesn't hit that home run, it's all yeah, completely, yeah,
I get it. Chas there, but he hits the big
home runs, one of the biggest home runs of the year.
(01:09):
So it's it's tough, but I get it, and I
get why Hayward's the odd man out.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All right, David vast ail band to talk about that.
You know, in the state of California, if you go out,
bartenders can't serve between two and six am. That's why
you get your last call about one fifteen, one thirty
two o'clock. Got to shut it down. That's the law.
Those are the rules, except as you said, maybe my basement. Sure,
but now I go to bed at nine fifteen at night,
(01:35):
so that wouldn't be the case anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Oh wow, yeah, you go to bed that early?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, I lied?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Oh okay, I go like ten.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's ten thirty, ten forty five.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Ten thirty okay, ten thirty, ten forty five okay. All right.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I gotta tell you, not doing the eleven is a
life saver. It is just that extra hour makes all
the difference. It really does. When I did the eleven
o'clock News it was like, ugh, it was at the beginning.
It was great because people actually watched it. Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah sure yeah, now no, and it was like, oh
(02:06):
my god, could I just please go to sleep anyway?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Like George can stands and build a bed under your desk,
and so when you in between the six and the eleven,
you just sat there for a nap.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I used to do it in my chair, sitting in
my office. I was like a horse. I could sleep
standing up. People walk by my mother unopen and you'd
hear these sounds.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh it's him.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Just just stay out of Fred's office. Just stay you
don't want to fine.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
All right, So you can't serve between two and six
am except maybe one place, maybe one, and that one
place could be the Intuit Doome with a Clippers play.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Lawmakers in California have tried and failed to extend last
call laws, but now, very quietly, a bill could change
that time prohibition, but only for a select group VIP
suite hole holders at Englewood's new intwoit Dome. Steve Baumer's
(03:04):
behind the bill, and the deal is this, if you
go to a Clipper game and you're a VIP suite holder,
right game ends at what time eleven, you would be
able to stay in your suite and drink until four am.
The only place you would be able to do that
(03:27):
is the Intuit Dome. Wow, and lawmakers are considering passing
this bill. So as a you know, and we yesterday
some news came up on a ticket prices for Clipper
games at the Intwit Dome, and they're pretty pricey. Sure,
they're pretty pright. And so if the team wins, if
you can drink till four in the morning, of course
it is yeah according to the four Yeah sure great, yeah.
(03:50):
According to this a suite, for example, for one game
is ten grand. You go, whoa ten grand? Do you know?
That's what the sweets really cost. You know, that's really
what they cost. I mean you see ten grand and
you go, oh my god, who has that kind of money.
Let me tell you what the people about it. Sweet,
you have that kind of money. That's what they cost.
So don't be like, oh, this is incredible, it's so
(04:12):
much money.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's not, because that's kind of what they are, between
eight and ten grand. But if you're one of those sweets,
if this bill passes, you can get liquored up all
you want. You can get drunk, fall asleep in the suite,
get up and leave. You can keep drinking at four am.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, let's go shoot baskets. Let's go shoot baskets. Come on,
let's get down there. We go shoot baskets.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, who knows, who knows what they would let people do.
There's nobody in there, but they're sweeth holders and the bartenders.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's such a weird phenomenon about I'll be in this arena,
this twenty thousand seed arena, stay to the art, and
I'm one of like fifteen people. It's like a horror movie.
I'm when of fifteen people. Slowly people start disappearing over
the course of the night. It's just a that just
sounds so strange that I'll be in this suite and
I can drink till four of them are now. Now,
(05:01):
I grew up, you know, I grew up in New York.
And New York the bars are open til four, and
some bars kind are a little loose with that, where
there's plenty of times like I would be at a
bar till four and they would just close the doors,
not let people in and just say, hey, who wants breakfast.
We're gonna make breakfast. Oh yeah, great, I'll have breakfast. Sure,
it's four o'clock in the morning. It is a long
(05:23):
night when you are out at a bar until four
o'clock in the morning. And for me, who is the
original bar guy going out in college and after school,
oh yeah, oh yeah, it's great. It's great. Like there's
times like I'll go out with my friends at eight o'clock,
I realize I'll go, oh my god, it's four in
the morning. I'm not tired, but I feel like I've
just done a shift here, Like I did eight hours.
They did eight to four here at a bar, and boy,
I gotta get up in three hours ago to work.
(05:45):
This is this is not gonna be any fun. It
gets really long. But man, I'll tell you the the
the the two to four freedom is just it. It's
it's I want to say intoxicating, but obviously it goes
along with that. Uh, it really is some thing to
do that. And yeah, as everybody stayed up late hanging
out a house drinking until three fourty, well yeah, but
(06:06):
it is something different when you're doing it out and
you're doing it at a bar and you're doing it
somewhere else, and yeah, just make sure you get right home,
make sure you get rise, make sure you uber, make
sure you live, make sure you do. But there is
just something about that that's like, Man, it's three thirty
in the morning, and I'm hanging out and I'm in
the Intoit dome and I'm shooting baskets and they're yelling
at eating it off the court. Now, I just want
to go back up and get another drink because I
(06:26):
got like forty five minutes to last call. Because it's
three fifteen in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
What good can come from this? Really, what good can
come from this? No good can come from this. I'm
gonna stay here. I mean, so if the game's over
an eleven, yeah, all right, everybody leave. Every thank you
for coming to the INTWO with Doom. Yeah, we hope
you enjoyed your Clipper experience. Drive safely, good night, except
(06:52):
for you people. If you're up here, you don't have
to leave. And now we're keeping a bar open.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Bill four a m. Hey, Fred, there's a certain postgame host.
If the game doesn't go right midnight, he gets off.
Maybe he needs a couple of drinks of Kawa is
not playing that night or something.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I can understand. I understand, Adam, I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's only for one place. We're gonna all right, let's
pass this law. Okay, So who's a play.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Change happens in small increments that one place, and then
pretty soon it'll be the bar on the west side,
a bar here, bar here. Pretty soon, Hey, four o'clock
in the morning for it. Back in twenty twenty two,
they tried it. But what they tried it was to
(07:45):
bars and nightclubs only in West Hollywood, San Francisco and
Palm Springs that didn't pass.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
That didn't pass. So you could be out to four
am and West Hollywood, San Francisco or Palm Springs now
and spot the Intuit dome. I hope it passes. It passes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's gotta be safe, right to mean where else that Okay,
you can drink till four, but you're in a huge dome.
You can't easily get to your car, you can't easily
upset other people around you, because it's only a handful
of you here. It's almost, you know, it's almost like
a post apocalyptic movie. I'm stuck with these people. I
don't even know. Ah, let's drink till four in the morning.
(08:27):
So I get that, Hey, we want to put this
and start this off in something that is about as
safe as you possibly could be. And yeah, I mean, hey,
in the middle of a big dome, a twenty thousand
seed arena with people you don't even know. Yeah, stay
till four in the morning, make new friends, and the
Intuit dome is going to use face scanning technology to
verify drinkers are over twenty one.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The future is here.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Not IDs face scanning technology.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, don't get a fake, You're Fake's no good here,
So look into this camera.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So basically, face off has become a real thing now.
Like if I like, if I want to if I
want to be younger and I want to drink, like
I can, I can, Or if I'm younger and I
want to be older, I can kind of saw the
face off like they did with Nicholas Cage and John
travolt even though it didn't make sense because you gotta
saw under to it, just not just around the front.
But like if you did that and I swapped faces
(09:19):
with someone who was older, I could then drink if
I'm underage, correct, just go to the Intuitdome. Okay, face
face off is real and the Atuit Doome has drinking
till four in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And if five seventy LA Sports has your tickets to
our twenty twenty four iHeart Music Festival presented by Capital
One comes to t Mobile Arena in Las Vegas September
twentieth and twenty First join us for the last Top
and the Petro Some Money Summer Tour Today for your
chance to win tickets for Jason Smith and.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Today around nine am this morning from a source that
the Dodgers were going to designate for a sign I'm
in Jason Hayward because of Chris Taylor returning. I was
surprised because I thought maybe the Dodgers could convince Chris
Taylor to wait until September first, when the rosters expand,
because it would have been advantageous to be able to
(10:17):
hold on to all three of these bubble players and Hayward,
Kirmeyer and Chris Taylor, especially since Hayward has been a
decent bat as a pinch hitter from the left side
four for eight, had the big, go ahead three run
home run the other night. But this is surprising because
of the way the Dodgers had been portraying Jason Hayward
(10:39):
as a clubhouse leader. This is not the way you
treat a so called clubhouse leader.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Is this something, David, where they're hoping, Hey, DFA, he
passes through and somehow they can find his way to
a better solution for the month of September.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
No, I mean they've already done the thank you Jason
tweet on the Doctor's official account. I don't see that
happening now. I mean, I was at merientication. He's not
coming back.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Uh, Dave, could Chris Taylor have said, let me sit
a little while longer here before I come back. I mean,
was that a realistic possibility.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I got the sense yesterday it was not that he
was ready and he wanted to come back. And I'm
not sure how these mechanisms work these days, because I
know Major League Baseball track's injuries a little bit more
closely than in years past. But I find it. I
guess in Taylor's spot, it's tough that he's healthy, he's ready,
(11:40):
he's made swing changes, and he was actually playing better
the last twenty six games before he got hurt. I mean,
he had an eight thirty ops the strikeouts were down considerably.
He was only striking out at a twenty one percent clip,
so he was getting better before he got hurt. But
what's the rush to bring Chris Taylor back? Because where
(12:02):
is he going to play? I just don't know what
the urgency was to bring back Chris Taylor before September first,
unless Chris Taylor was really pushing to come back and
force the Dodgers into a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, that's the thing, David. Now, with this coming, if
they could have pushed it to September first, do you
see any sort of how this will affect the lineup
on on a daily basis and any sort of clues. Hey, okay,
CET's back, so this is likely what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
No, that's the thing, right, Jason. The Dodgers have a
set lineup. There is no real platoon anymore. Not in
the outfield. You got Kevin Kiermeyer out there, you got
Tommy Edmonds when Miguel Rojas doesn't play, Edmund's at short,
Keer Myers in center. You have Kei k Hernandez, who
in a lot of ways as a repetitive player in
(12:52):
that Chris Taylor category, and That's why Jason Hayward did
serve a purpose. He was a a left handed bat
off the bench that you could couple with Kevin Kiermeyer.
Kier Meyer could have been your first left handed bat
early in the game off the bench if you needed,
and you had Jason Hayward coming off the bench later
for a different situation. So look, all these guys, kier Meyer,
(13:17):
especially Jason Hayward, were bubble players. And we can't ignore
the fact that Chris Taylor is under contract for one
more year at a sizable amount of fourteen million dollars. So,
as they say in professional sports, money plays.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Dave, what happened last night between Flarerty and a Rose Arena.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Randia Rose Arena overreacted. Flerity was not trying to hit
him in that situation. It got him on the side
there on his left side. And you know, Randia Rose Arena,
like many Mariners, is frustrated with their offense, frustrated with
their team. They just fired their manager, Scott Service. So
I feel like that was a frustrated player that got
(13:58):
traded to a team that he doesn't really see it
in with and was trying to put on a show
in La.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
David with the last few days, getting the sweep, getting healthy.
Now the lineup is deep again. Gavin Lux has been
terrific the last couple of months. Now, Max Munths he
looks like he's picking up right where he left off.
The sense outside, you know, all all of us, he's like, Hey,
the Dodgers weathered that storm and now they're back to
being the Dodgers again. Did you do you get that
(14:27):
on the inside as well, that hey, they got through
and Mookie is back and now they have some clarity
and Flarerty's turned out to be what they really wanted
in starting pitcher, and now hey, we're back to being
the Dodgers again.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, no doubt. Offensively, their offense is back to being
the Dodgers. They're making it really difficult for good pictures
like we saw against the Mariners to be able to
even last five innings. So that is something of an
identity we've seen with Dodger offenses in the past, and
now having this one through nine certainly is back to
(14:59):
that identity. The only thing that's going to prevent the
Dodgers from really taking off and separating themselves from the
rest of the division is they're starting pitching. Tyler Glass
now who is saying he was going to be back
by the end of this homestand all of a sudden
now is still not throwing the baseball. You have Yamamoto
not coming back until the middle of September. Walker Buehler,
(15:22):
and Bobby Miller are still trying to find themselves. So
really the only three guys that you can count on
are Flaherty, Gavin Stone, and Clayton Kershaw. So that's the
only thing that would prevent the Dodgers from really taking
off is questionable starting pitching and some still injured starting pitching.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well, I'll tell you something that's helping him is Max Munsey.
It really is surprising that he has come back from
the injured list good this fast date.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, especially when we saw him for the first day
at Dodgers Stadium on Monday. He was telling us that
missing three months in the leaks is like missing three
years trying to get your timing back. But his timing
looked pretty good, So I feel like that's important. Max
is an emotional player and he kind of needs results
to stick with whatever he'd been working on in the
(16:16):
process of coming back. So those results that we saw
in the Mariners series. Two home runs a double six
RBIs is certainly big for his psyche.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And you talked about the pitching a little bit, and
obviously that's the big question mark, you know, a little
bit of clarity. Now Flaherty has been well top of
the rotation. You mentioned Yamamoto and you know, look at
to borrow phrase from Fred Now, I don't want to
be Debbie Downer, but I feel like, you know, hey,
to expect him to come back middle of September, is
that a little bit too much to ask? Okay, maybe
you have to realize maybe we've seen the last of
(16:49):
him this season, because when you start pushing comebacks to
the end of the year, getting to the playoffs, are
they really gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, that's a fair question. You know, Yamamoto feels good,
Jason and the Dodgers are just being really cautious with him,
so they have them for the postseason. So and even
if he gets into the postseason, how far are the
Dodgers really going to push him? Maybe five innings, that's
usually what their mo is in the postseason, especially not
(17:17):
really letting their starters, especially their starters not face the
lineup a third time, So the expectations are not for
him to throw a complete game in the playoffs, but
to give them at least five innings. So with that
being said, two or three starts seems to be feasible.
But it's a fair point. He's missed a few months here.
(17:38):
It's hard to come back and be thrust into a
pennant race. The only thing I could say is the
Dodgers are facing the Rockies and Marlins, not of their
last twelve games of the season, so soft landing maybe.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah. Dave Roberts said he is now managing as if
he is managing in the playoffs. Have you noticed that, Dave?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, without a doubt. He's got more edge than any
of his players these days. He's really managing with a
lot of urgency. Yeah, I definitely see that. And I
taped an interview with Dave to play on Dodger Talk
tonight at six o'clock, so you'll hear that edgy playoff
Dave Roberts tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Hey, speaking of managers, the reports come out today the
Mariners are going to fire Scott's service. They cut their
postgame short last night on TV and they didn't go
to him talking and there's all kinds of crazy stuff
going on. Ken Rosenthal reporting that he's going to be
let go. Was there any of that around the game runs?
Do you hear any about any of that stuff last night?
Because the Dodger's firing a manager, that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, right, getting a manager fired and Scott's service. My
understanding is that there was a closed door meeting after
last night's game in the Mariners clubhouse and they kicked
everybody out of that clubhouse that was not a Mariner
player or a coach. And I'm sure they broke the
news to the players last night in that meeting that
(19:04):
they were going to let Scott's Service go and Jerry
Depoto might not be too far behind. Remember when the
Angels media was taking Jerry Depoto's side over Mike Sooshias, yep,
oh that works out.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I do remember that, Dave like wow, And I actually
was shocked they hired Dipoto.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
In Seattle, so was everybody else that knows what Jerry
Depoto's about.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, he had that big quote like we're here to
win fifty four percent of our games, or we we
aspire to win fifty four percent of our games?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Like what that really will sell the tickets, and.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
My bind tickets are a game that we're trying for.
Is it one of the fifty four percent or just
one of.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, exactly exactly. Can you just please let us know
which percentage of game?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
This is?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
All right, Dave, So we'll wrap it up with this.
They're making moves, the Dodgers. They got a day author
back at it tomorrow. Are you comfortable with where they're
at right now?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I am.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I'm curious to see what the ripple effect is is
in that clubhouse tomorrow, because you know, honestly, I thought
it was a little overstated how much of a leader
Jason Hayward was in the clubhouse. Don't get me wrong,
he was one of the most respected players in that clubhouse.
But it's hard to be that guy when you're not
(20:28):
playing every day, and if you are playing every day,
you're not performing that well. But he was really respected.
I've called him my life coach a few different times.
So he definitely was a guy that players could go
to with anything and he would listen and give great advice.
So in that respect, he was a great leader. But unfortunately,
(20:51):
the reason why he was a bubble player and now
dfak was because he was playing every day and he
wasn't performing well. And it all started, according to him,
after the flight to Korea, where his bat kind of
locked up and he just never seemed to be himself
like we saw last year, David, a situation.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Like this, Will Dave Roberts talk to the team about
this tomorrow and explain or it's just business as usual
and that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, I don't know how the dynamics of that work, Fred,
These are all grown men. They understand the situation. And
quite honestly, Jason Hayward was told after last night's game,
they had this conversation with him last night that they
were going to make this move today. So I'm sure
all that happened last night.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
All right, Well, thanks for working on your day off.
Do't you talk tonight at six? You'll have Dave Roberts.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Dave appreciate it, Thank you, all right, thanks guys.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
All right, there he goes David vassa.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Playoff mode, Dave Roberts. Playoff Dame. We got to call
him playoff Dave now because now he's playoff Dave. What
is playoff Dave? Got tonight?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Playoff Dave well, would that correspond with playoff P?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Sure? Sure, okay, playoff P.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Playoff Dave didn't go so well for playoff P.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No, but this is playoff Dave. It doesn't just because
it didn't go well for playoff P. Playoff Dave, it
could be different. Well, according to Bill Plash, you had
better be different. Well, you know what it means. It's
gonna be We're gonna go be a bullpen a lot more.
It's gonna be like there may be you may do
a new picture every inning. It might be like the
All Star Game. Guy starts the first inning, reliever in
the second, and you got the third, fourth, fifth. He's
got to get ready, Hey, playoff Dave's got to get
(22:27):
in that bullpen playoff mode. You gotta get ready sometime.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Did you hear that rule they were kicking around starters
have to go six innings pitches or give up four runs.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Playoff Dave would not like that. Playoff Dave would not
be a fan of that rule. I don't know how you.
I don't know how you I get that rule in theory, Like, hey,
we want to make sure the pictures pitch longer and
it's less taxing for both. I get it, but really
you can like, like what if it's like yeah, but
there's just so many things, Like if a guy has
(22:58):
an inning two inning where he throws thirty pitches, like
that's really stressful. You want to take the guy out
and you can't take them out. No, You've got to
keep going because you haven't given up enough runs yet. Well, okay,
I mean, I just think the easier thing that is
to say, hey, let's just put an extra couple of
people on the active roster and it's strictly for bullpen pitches.
You can't hide anybody there. You can't hide position players there.
(23:21):
We're gonna give you two extra slots, and this is
what it's gonna be. You're gonna have an X number
of players for your position that you can have on
the team, and an X number of pitchers and that's
what you have to have. And I think that would
fix everything, and that would stop the blowing out of
bullpen arms. All right. I'm a commissioner too, Fred, just
like you.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, yeah, but my ideas are far more dramatic and better.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Give give the best draft picks to the best teams,
give the worst draft picks to the worst teams. That's
Fred Rogan's NFL and NBA for you right there.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Reward success, reward success, don't penalize it.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Rewarded. You get rewarded success by money from playoff games
and winning and winning championships. That's your reward you get.
You get the reward. No, you're punishing the teams that stink.
That's you and they're trying. Yeah, there's a couple of
things that tank. Okay, there's a couple of teams that tank,
and I get that. But by and large, you talk
about the middle of the pack teams that are trying
to make the playoffs but they can't make it. And
(24:16):
you're like, nope, and you're not good enough. We're not
gonna help you get better. You are definitely not gonna
pick high in the draft. Good luck.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
It's not our job. Our job is to win. If
we can win, then we won.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Boy. Hey, sorry Chicago Bears. You would love to get
Kayleb Boys, but instead, Hey, the Chiefs are gonna draft
Kayleb Williams because they're gonna need somebody after Patrick Mahomes.
So Caleb's gonna sit for about seven or eight years
and then he's gonna become the quarterback the Bear.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
It wouldn't be an issue for the Bears. They'd be relegated.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Hey, the Bears are playing the Argonauts this week in
the CFL, because that's what you are now, a game
that's gonna be I think the same thing should happen
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I've said him many times. Relegated to the G League,
you would.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Have tonight Rapid City, South Dakota welcomes to Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's it, figure it out, get yourself out of the
G League.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The Pistons would never get out of the G League.
I mean, come on, they would even get out of there. Oh,
G League teams playing.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All right, let's have a word from Jacob. So, when
you're injured in an accident, one of the first calls
you'll receive is from the other person's insurance company. They
want to give you money. Don't fall for that trick.
They're offering you money to replace or repair your vehicle.
But will that cover your medical bills? And he lost
wages for time missing work? Safe to say the answers, No,
you shouldn't have to pay any money out of your
(25:38):
pocket to fix your car. Go see the doctor and
if you're missing work. In turn, it is making your
paycheck less than normal. Why would you do that to yourself?
You know who to call Jacob. Jacob will deal with
the insurance company, help with the rental car, and schedule
your doctor's appointments with nothing coming out of your pocket.
That's right, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Well,
Jacob helps take care of you and gets you the
(25:58):
settlement you deserve. When you call an attorney, you want
one who was respected. Call Jacob because he is the
real deal. Call Jacob at eight four four to twenty four.
Jacob eight four to four to twenty four Jacob or
visit called Jacob dot com. Hey, Colin said something yesterday
Jason about the Rams. Now let's talk about that next
(26:20):
and you tell me if you agree. Series MVP. Prior
to his MLB career, I had a watershed moment while
attending Cosumus River College and Sacramento. After entering the program
as a pitcher, the coaching staff convinced him to focus
on being a hitter and an outfielder, where he would
ultimately end up being named Bay Valley Conference Most Valuable
(26:43):
Player for the nineteen ninety three season. Start your future.
At California Community College, financial aid is available to help
with tuition, books, sometimes even the rent. It's time to
take the next big step. Classes can't fill quickly, so
enrolled today, I can go to college dot com justson.
I don't know if you heard what Colin said yesterday
(27:04):
about the Rams.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Listen, I am today declaring the Rams the new America's team. Yes,
they win when America watches. They're the most rated franchise,
the most duplicated franchise, the most copied franchise, never in
cap hell. They've changed the way you treat players, how
(27:26):
you practice without pads. Players want to be here. They
come to rehab their image and leave, and when they
leave they say things like, it's the greatest two years
of my life. Cowboys, Packers, Steelers, You're never on TV
in January.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What do you think of that? Look? I agree with
a lot of his points on the Rams because they
have become that model franchise. A lot of it's Sean
McVay because of what he's been able to do and
the philosophy of hey, f those picks and being able
to never have to pay the piper for continuing to
sign players and spending money. They're never in trouble. They're
(28:05):
never in salary cap trouble. They keep having money, they
keep doing things. But I'll give you, I'll go one
step further for you. In one year, they went from
being the oldest team in the NFL to the youngest
team in the NFL. And I don't know if they
still are technically because maybe with what moves teams have
made over the course last couple of months. But going
into the season, your youngest team, and it's gonna be
(28:27):
hard for me to not pick them to go to
the super Bowl this year because offensively they are absolutely loaded.
You're talking about playmakers everywhere. Whittington is gonna be really good.
He's pushing two to at well to being a specialist now. Offensively,
they are whoever runs the football runs it well. Whether
it's Williams, it'll be korm if he runs, whether it's
Royce Freeman who came off as couch to have a
(28:48):
couple of big games last year. I know the defense,
there's a big thing without Aaron Donald. But they made
a lot of changes which are needed, and I trust
what they're doing personnel wise. Telling I think everybody sleeping
on the Rams this year to Hertsfey did not pick
them to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
It's interesting because when they were in Saint Louis, you know,
they were a dumpster fire, and the fans in Saint
Louis were apoplectic because they claimed the Rams never did
anything to improve that team. But of course they weren't
going to do anything to improve that team because they
wanted to get out of Saint Louis. And the only
way the NFL lets you relocate is if you can
make a case that attendance is down and you can't
(29:25):
generate as much revenue. So what happens is when teams
want to relocate, they just run themselves into the ground.
Same thing happened when the Rams weren't Anaheim to move
to Saint Louis, Jorge, you just ran it into the ground. Okay,
now we can sell them go. So that's what they do.
And it's interesting that they have given what people thought
(29:46):
they were put together this magnificent organization and front office
where they are able to do these kinds of things.
I've mentioned it in the past. Kevin Demofs sent a
letter out the season ticket holders last year. Sorry for
the season started basically, sorry, we know it's going to
be a tough year. We've got to we've got to
rebuild or kind of reconstruct. So hang with us. Hang
(30:11):
with us, at least I'm being honest. Then they play
the way they did and they turn out like that.
To me, it's it's really one of the great success
stories I think in sports, the Rams and that organization
and then going as you point out, from the oldest
roster to one of the youngest rosters and continuing to win.
But it all comes down to the health of Matthew Stafford.
(30:32):
That's it. He gets hurt, they're done.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He showed he's still an elite quarterback. You watch him
play the last seven eight weeks the last year. Hey,
I'm healthy, I'm still really really good. And look, I
even love look to talk about how they do things
the right way and this is how you foster a
culture of winning and why how you can flip one
year and still be a quarterback or still be a
Super Bowl favorite. Normally you see what you see teams
(30:55):
in the preseason. Hey, we're not gonna play our starting quarterback.
So here's four or five eyes who are gonna play
a quarter apiece, Right, what do you really get? This
guy was five out of seven. This guy was two
out of six. No, the Rams are playing Stetson Bennett
like he's playing at Georgia. He's playing the entire game.
He's playing four quarters. It's we gotta see what we
have in this guy. Are you the long term solution
(31:17):
for us as a backup? Could you be a starting solution.
We're not gonna let you. Oh, we're gonna ease you
back at No. It was I'm coming off of the
of the injured list I was on last year and
all the mental health he went through. It's like, we're
throwing you right back in. He's gonna play probably the
whole game this weekend, like all of a sudden. No, No,
we're not gonna try six or seven guys. We're gonna
play one guy. He's gonna play the entire game, and
(31:38):
we're gonna see what we have. And that's groundbreaking. Teams
don't do that anymore. It's all we're gonna let this
guy go here and this guy player, and what do
you really get? Well, we only have as a small
surplus of tape. Well, when you're talking about the backup quarterback,
which is a big decision to make. This is how
much they're investing in doing it, And every move they
make turns out like it's like it's minus, it's ever
(32:00):
everything they do turns out goal. Whatever decision you think
they make, all this good. Nope, works out great, works
out great for them. They figured it out. Oh well, well,
what's gonna happen here? What are they gonna do? How
are we gonna go out of all the salary cap Hell? Nope,
we're out of it. Well, how are we? Nope, we're
out of it? Oh okay, how are you gonna get
out of this?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Now?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
We're gonna trade Jared Goff and we're gonna send a
couple of first round picks because we don't care about
picks because they're overrated. Because if you don't get the
picks right, it doesn't matter if you're taking the picks,
it's a crapshoot. We're gonna send these picks. We're gonna
at the quarterback we need. We going with the super Bowl? Okay,
how are we gonna rebound? Here? We have a half
season where things were a little dicey, and then we
turn in one of the top five teams in the
NFL the last half of last year, everything they do.
(32:35):
I do everything I can to keep this team toge.
I tell Sean mcvagh, what the hell do you want
for the next ten years? What keeps you off of television,
from taking a break, from coming back? What keeps you
everything else? Front office? I keep everything in place because
it's just it's like a machine right now. All right?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Did you have the controversy about Aaron Judge?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Not only that it involves my hometown and the Permetown newspaper.
This is great.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
We'll talk about it next
