Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:18.239 the guys before for four hours. Yes, yes, yes, you're 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:23.680 listening to David Vasse Dodger Talk with you until eight o'clock. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.440 I have no apologies for my short speech. That's the 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:32.120 key to winning an award at the SOCOW Broadcasters Luncheon. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.080 Keep your speech short. People want to get out of there, 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.120 they want to celebrate you quickly. So I have no 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.720 apologies for anything I said. You know, I didn't even 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.760 see Matt at the awards. I mean, he was so 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.159 far back at that lonely Chargers table while us at 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.239 the AM five to seventy LA sports table. We had 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.120 plenty of room for his skinny bones to squeeze in, 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.080 but he chose to hang out with the bolts back 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.280 there at the table twenty five on the patio. You know, 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.160 I don't know why he's upset with me or taking 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:09.759 out his saltiness on me. I acknowledged him, I acknowledged Petros. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.679 Maybe next year, maybe, next year, you guys will rise 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.639 up and win the Best Talk Show of the sunny 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.600 California sports broadcasters. Maybe next year. I do want to 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.440 say thank you to Tim Kates, the only guy on 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.440 that show with any sort of class, because he was classy, 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.959 has always been class He does everything for those guys. 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.160 They actually should take that guy out to a nice 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.440 dinner once a month for everything he puts up with. 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.200 And he is so kind that he was the one 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.320 that posted a congratulatory tweet on the AM five to 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:51.840 seventy LA sports twitter account acknowledging that they had somebody 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.520 win an award at that luncheon. So thank you Tim Kates, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.280 the only guy on that show with some class. And 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.360 it was great, say Petros write out his show on Penn. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.960 It was great to see Steve Hartman be celebrated, Jim 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.040 Hill be celebrated, Harvey Hyde. I mean, that was an 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:14.400 old school football speech that certainly was inspirational to Petros. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.240 Some money, as you could tell if you were listening 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:23.119 the previous four hours. But anyway, it was a great day. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.680 It was great to spend it with our teammates at 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.040 the table. If Matt was at the table, he would 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.560 have enjoyed himself. We had a great time at that 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.840 table table ten was the life of the party, so 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.880 a good day. Steven Nelson won Best Radio Call of 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.240 the Year, the final call of Game seven of the 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:45.520 World Series. Kirsten Watson won Best in Game Sideline reporter 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:50.280 Jose Moda won Best play by Play. Spanish Announcers. So 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.320 the Dodgers cleaned up, and look, the players in the 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.760 team helps you win these awards. If Steven Nelson didn't 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.200 have a Game seven of the World Series to call, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.639 I'm not sure he's winning it. You know. John Ireland 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:09.160 had an Austin Reeves buzzer beater of a meaningless game. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.240 There was a Spanish radio call by our guy, Adrian 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:18.840 Marquez Garcia of Justin Herbert running slide first down in 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.760 the regular season. So I mean, that's what they're up against. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.799 And that's the way it was when the Lakers won 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.280 twenty years ago. They would clean up at these type 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.399 of things because the team, the players gave the announcers 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.680 a lot to talk about and to describe. So it's 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.880 the teams, it's the players, but it's the play by 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.360 play guys that make it all come alive. So thank 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:47.440 you to everybody, and especially Pete Arbigast, who is trying 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.640 to do things to keep that sports broadcasters luncheon alive. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.280 So it was a good day. Solid barbecue, chicken was served, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.080 and it was great to be there, like I said, 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.640 with our teammates at table ten, outside of Matt mney Smith, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.400 who you know, for whatever reason, felt like he couldn't 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.520 squeeze in so he decided to go to his charger table, 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.840 a very sad table after Sunday's loss in New England. 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.080 But nonetheless, it was a good day and it was 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.720 great to share it with my father in law, who 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.279 you know, I want to get him out, he's in retirement, 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.200 want to get him out. He loves sports, loves the 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.880 sports broadcasters. So got to introduce him to Bill McDonald, 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.640 who was his great Bill McDonald's self today. So all around, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.440 great to see a lot of people that you don't 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.400 get to see all the time. All right, let's get 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.000 to Dodger talk. Bottom of the hour, Jack Harris, who 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.320 has left the La Times like so many of their 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.279 good writers, and is joining the California Post. He is 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.560 going to join us on what he's hearing. As far 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.960 as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Bob Bishett, and a possible 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.040 trade with the Cardinals. I can't really get a sense 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.720 about which way Kyle Tucker is going to go. In 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.080 case you're not aware of this, the Dodgers already have 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.120 gone over the highest threshold of the luxury tax for 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.360 a third straight year. So whoever they sign from this 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.839 point on, they're paying not just fifty percent or one 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.600 hundred percent on their salary with every dollar, but they're 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.280 paying one hundred and ten percent. So if the Dodgers 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:28.520 were to give Kyle Tucker fifty million dollars a year 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.920 with no deferrals, they would be basically paying him one 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.839 hundred million dollars or eight excuse me, eighty million dollars, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.480 one hundred and something million dollars. So you know, that's 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.279 that's what it's at. So that's something that I don't 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.840 think would stop the Dodgers because they are involved to 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:52.240 what level. I'm still not completely sold on how badly 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.000 they want Kyle Tucker or how badly they want Cody Bellinger. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.000 It's always been about the Dodgers' terms when they have 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.600 signed players, but in this case it feels like that's 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.120 even more so. They're the back to back World Series champions, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.080 they still have Shoeo Tani, the best player on the 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.719 planet on their roster. He's now pitching. You still got 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:19.080 Freddy Freeman, who is still doing Freddie Freeman things. Mookie 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.520 Betts had a down year, you would hope that he 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.280 bounces back. You've got the most clutch hitter in baseball 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:30.200 and Will Smith playing the toughest offensive position in the game, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.479 and he's the best offensive player. I would even argue 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.680 that I'd rather have Will Smith than cal Raley at 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.960 this point in time. But this side of cal Raley, arguably, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.920 Will Smith is the best catcher in baseball and offensively 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.919 the most clutch hitter, as was evident again in the 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.400 World Series with his Game seven go ahead home run. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.520 So they still got Snell, they still got an incredible 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.240 starting rotation with you Moo, and they added Edwin Diaz. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.400 So all of these things. Sure, the Dodgers would like 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.960 to upgrade their offense, but it doesn't necessarily have to 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.000 be Kyle Tucker and it doesn't necessarily have to be 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.200 Boba Schett or Cody Bellinger. I like I said, I'm 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:22.240 still very skeptical by all these reports that the Dodgers 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.760 are in on Kyle Tucker. But you know, we'll see 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.360 what happens doing my radio show right now as my 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:34.840 guy snell Zilla Fresh Office, snell Zilla National Great Kids Tournament, 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.679 a camel Back ranch facetiming me right now, snell Zilla, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.120 you know how it is. Everybody's wearing for you at FanFest. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:50.760 Say hello, all right, that's that's the only you could 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.760 call in, Snaill Zilla. If you want, You're more than 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:58.040 welcome to. If not, we'll all right, all right, I'll 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.960 call you right now. We're gonna call you right now. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.800 There he is, new Zilla in his Great Zilla National hoodie. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.480 He's gonna call in right now. I mean he called 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:12.040 me while I was at the at the Sports Broadcaster's luncheon, 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.520 as I was about to receive that award, and here 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.720 he is calling me in the middle of Dodger talk. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.320 So we'll see if he delivers, if Blake Snell calls 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.960 in right now. But like I was saying, we'll see 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.200 whether or not Zilla calls in or not. But like 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.239 I was saying, I'm still not one hundred percent sold 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.199 on all these reports about the Dodgers and Tucker. Going 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.880 back to the regular season, everybody thought that Kyle Tucker 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.600 was a foregone conclusion. But you know, there's a lot 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.960 of other teams out there, and the Dodgers won another 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.760 back to back World Series championship, and oh boy, I 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.360 see the phone ringing right now. He is a man 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.160 of his word. He doesn't do audio calls very often. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.720 He loves to FaceTime. And that is World Series Champion, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.640 two time, two time cy Young Award winner, the one 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.959 and only Blake Snell in his Zilla National hoodie somewhere 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.920 in La there we go, Blake, thank you for calling in? 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.280 Yeah, man, how you doing days? 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.959 I do it great?

There 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.040 is no money being made, it's all going to the 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.760 foundation to the kids. But you hosted the Zilla National 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.080 Tournament at camel Back Ranch and handed out sweet gear 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.480 from Rawlings. How much joy does that give you to 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.800 see the kids light up when you're in front of 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.840 a rolling strug handing out these incredible swaggy gloves. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.240 Yeah, no, it was. It was pretty awesome. But it's 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.560 like my third year doing the Jella stuff that this 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.520 was by far the best. We had big league coaches 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.559 that really, you know, train these kids the correct way 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.440 on how to play baseball, how to practice, how to 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.560 be a good teammate, how to be humble. And we 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.640 had a lot of good conversations. We went to Dave 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.040 Inbusters for one of the Knights with everybody. That was 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.400 a lot of fun. And then yeah, they get the 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.280 cool part is they get a bunch of cool gear. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.760 But the best part is they learned how to be 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.000 you know, they learn how to practice, they learn what 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.040 hard work will get you. And then we talked about 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.280 you know, just being a good teammate, a good person 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.840 and how everything will fall into place if you do that. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.000 So yeah, it was a success. It was a really 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.280 great time. We're gonna make it better next year. We're 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.080 gonna get better from it, find ways to just get 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.079 more information to the to the youth and to parents, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.800 and yeah, it was awesome. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.480 So you had some all star coaches out there, including 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:50.800 denu Ebel, Kyle Snyder, Howie Ken Drake, Kevin Long. I 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.439 mean that's pretty special to get these coaches, the best 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.680 in baseball from different organizations to show up for the 0:12:58.760 --> 0:12:59.800 kids this weekend. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.960 No, yeah, that was amazing. Yeah, Troy Tillowitski was there. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:11.240 He's hit and coach at Texas Now. He had a 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.600 great career. Yeah, but no, it was awesome man. And 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.440 we were at Camelback Ranch, which obviously that's a great 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.480 place to be and spend your time. So yeah, it 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.360 was one of it was one of a kind of 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.520 In the grounds crew there, I mean they did an 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:32.199 unbelievable job helping us keep it, keep it feels nice, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.559 and and just helping us run it smoothly. So it 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.120 was Yeah, it couldn't have gone any better. But the 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.480 kids got better, that's the main thing. They learned a 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.800 lot and hopefully they take that to their travel ball 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.120 teams wherever they go. I mean these kids are from 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.000 all over the US, and uh yeah, hopefully they go 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:55.640 back home and teach their coaches, their their teammates and 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.599 friends what it's like to be a good person and 0:13:59.080 --> 0:13:59.720 train hard. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.120 That's awesome. Blake Snell is our guest on Dodger Talk. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.320 This is a great opportunity for you to give, you know, 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.600 some parents advice on kids in Little League and you 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.000 know kids that you know parents are trying to put 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.760 them in travel ball. What's the best piece of advice 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.800 you can give parents about their kids that are you know, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:25.280 ten to thirteen years old and just how much everybody 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.800 wants it to be the major leagues at such a 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.200 young age. What's the best advice you could give parents 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.280 with kids that want to play Little League or travel ball? 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.119 Yeah, I mean the parents there, you're there to motivate, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.040 to pershon in a sense, but ultimately it's a kid. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.040 It's actually kid. If they want to play, if it's 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.520 what their dream is, and if that's their dream is 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.440 to be you know, the best baseball player, how do 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.320 you help them? What do you do? I said to 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.520 the parents, you know, there's there's three questions you ask 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.920 your son or your daughter after an any game, and 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.360 it's you know, what did you do good? What did 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.760 you do bad? What are we going to do better? 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.720 And if you ask them those three questions, they can 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.720 kind of guide the whole thing and then tell you, 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.960 you know, where to come in and help them that. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.000 But yeah, it's just a lot of parents, you know, 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.720 especially younger like eight to twelve, they all think they're kids, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.200 you know, the next Ken Griffy, and and they get 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.120 way too wrapped up in it. Man, it's always been 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.120 about the kids. So so let the kid, you know, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.320 let him tell his story and his career the way 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.280 he wants. And then parents are there to support, and 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.640 you got to push them a little bit, but don't 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.440 get carried away. They're young, they're trying to figure it 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.720 out still, and you know, just make sure they're around 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.280 the coach that loves them and gives him, you know, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.040 gives your son or daughter, you know, all the information 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.720 they can to really learn and get better every day. 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.160 Can you explain to me my son, you know, he's 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.360 in Little League and him and his buddies loss. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.400 Of what I'm saying with you. It's different because you you. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.520 You got big league coaches, and you gotta get better. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.480 You know you can't. You got to ask us to 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.520 help your son. But we know you're talking to him, 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.720 and that's the problem.
