WEBVTT - Spring Training Dodger Talk (2-25-26)

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>A Spring training Dodger.

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Talk, here we go again.

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 4>We're going to running.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Back hosted by Dodgers Saint signer David Bassi. Ah yeah,

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>three p in the Mexican in on the show called

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>eight six six n eighty seven two five seven, And

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts.

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, David Bassey.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 2>What a heavy workload this week, we got four Dodger Talks.

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to David Vasse's Dodger Talk Live from Camelback Ranch

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>in Glendale, Arizona. We have a great show for you

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>again tonight. Mookie Betts is going to join us. You'll

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>hear our one on one conversation coming up at seven

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>point fifteen and at the bottom of the hour. Can

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>you believe Pete Crow Armstrong has doubled down his hate

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger fans. You know I played last night a

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>clip of our interview from twenty twenty four where he

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>was celebrating Dodger fans for bringing out the best with

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>the intensity and the atmosphere at Dodger Stadium. In a

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Chicago magazine interview, he took a shot at Dodger fans,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and then today at Cubs camp on foul Territory PCA

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>from Harvard Westlake at LA Kid doubled down on ripping

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans. So it's very difficult to defend picro Armstrong's words,

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 2>and he certainly will hear the booze when he comes

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>to Dodger Stadium at the end of April. So we'll

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>get to all that later in the show. But today

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>or right now, want to share with you what took

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>place earlier today in case you missed it. The Dodgers

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>improved their spring training record of five and zero with

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>a ten to seven win over the Diamondbacks at Salt

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Rivers Field. A couple of the highlights for the Dodgers.

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, we talked about the competition at second base

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>between Alex Friedland and hay Son Kim. I kind of

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>feel like Haysung Kim is really grabbing a hold of

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>that job with the way he has come into camp

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and really starting to look like a major league hitter

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>with the plan and also hitting the ball hard, making

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 2>contact even against velocity. So Hay Song Kim not only

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>in the first five spring training games, but also from

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>what we have seen from Kim on the backfields, he

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>resembles a guy that can be the eighth or ninth

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>hitter in this Dodger lineup, similar to the function that

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Lux provided back in twenty twenty four. Plus the speed.

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>The speed factor when Kim is starting or coming off

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the bench, that is a huge dynamic of his game.

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>As far as the total package. Today Kim was two

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>for three with an RBI. So I kind of feel

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>like Hayesun Kim is the leader right now to be

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>part of the second base solution until Tommy Edmund returns

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 2>from his recovery of right ankle surgery. Also another highlight today,

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan made his return after missing last year with

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Tommy John surgery. River Ryan has certainly impressed a lot

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers brass with the work he has put

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>in over the course of the last twelve fourteen months.

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>He threw six different pitches in a scoreless third inning

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>today and was looking like we have seen River Ryan

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>look going back to the beginning of camp and everything.

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>We heard that River Ryan was last September and October

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>when he was over here starting to pitch in inner

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 2>squad games. So River Ryan certainly had a good day.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's coming off the heels of Gavin Stone in

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>his first major league game in over a year with

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the fifteen pitch scoreless first st inning yesterday. So those

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>two guys certainly continuing to make the case that, Hey,

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>whether or not we are part of the starting rotation

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>to begin the season, you are going to see us

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>at some point in time in twenty twenty six. We

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 2>have phone lines open, we are taking phone calls, and

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I have some questions for you tonight to answer. Mookie

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Bets is coming up in our next segment, and I'm wondering,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and I've brought this up before, and I feel like

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 2>my case for Mookie Bets is even stronger. Who has

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>had the better career, Mookie Bets or Mike Trout. Who

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>has had the better career Mookie Bets or Mike Trout.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Now we could go with the tail of the tape,

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and yes, Trout is probably going to beat him in

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>certain categories, maybe not as many or by as much

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>as you think he would Muki's a lifetime two ninety hitter.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Trout's a lifetime two ninety four hitter. The lifetime ops

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>is eight eighty one for Mookie, nine to seventy six

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>for Trout. Mike Trout has never won a Gold Glove.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts has won six goal gloves, all in right

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>field and was a runner up for Gold Glove at

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>shortstop last year and wants to win it again. But

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 2>here's the biggest difference between three time MVP Mike Trout,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>one time MVP, eight time All Star Mookie Betts. You

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>know why I would say Mookie Betts has had the

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>better career. He's a four time World Series champion, and

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.239
<v Speaker 2>he's been a big part of the Red Sox winning

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>in eighteen, that's the year he won the MVP and

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.239
<v Speaker 2>the three championships the Dodgers have won since he got here.

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Mike Trout has only played in one playoff series, and

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>if you look at it might be that Mike Trout's

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 2>best years are behind him. Mookie Betts is still going strong.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I know you say MOOKI had a down year last

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 2>year offensively, and he did. He had his worst offensive season,

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't as bad as Mike Trout's last two years.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>So if I had, if I had to choose a

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>career and say who's had a better career, it's Mookie Betts.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>And you might say, well, Mike Trout's been on the Angels. Well,

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>he had an opportunity to leave the Angels and chase

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>rings with another team, and he chose to stay with

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 2>the Angels. You know, he is a loyal guy and

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 2>very loyal to Artie Moreno. I understand that Arty has

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>meant a lot to him, and I respect that very much.

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 2>But if this is about the game of baseball, the

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>business of baseball, if he wanted to be a winner,

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 2>he had the opportunity to take that challenge on and

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>he chose not to. Eight six six nine, eight seven

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Going back to

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 2>today's game, Roki Sasaki. Here's another question for you. Is

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Roki Sasaki deserving of a spot in this rotation? Doesn't

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>he have to prove that he has to earn a

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 2>spot in this rotation? And I know he's only going

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>to pitch maybe once every eight nine days, but today's

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>game was not very convincing. And I know it's only

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>one game, but coming off last year and the way

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 2>things went for him in spring training and in the

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 2>regular season, doesn't Roki Sasaki have to prove that he

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 2>is a starting pitcher And look, he saved the Dodgers

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>in October. If Roki Sasaki can't be the closer for

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers in the postseason last year during the Wildcard,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>during the NLDS and NLCS, the Dodgers don't even get

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>to the World Series. So don't get it twisted. Roki

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Sasaki was very valuable out of the bullpen last year.

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Now he's trying to come up with a cutter. We

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't see that until the second inning. And his fastball

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>command again was not great and he was not missing

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of bats. So to me, we talk about competition.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>To me, why is he exempt of that? Why does

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>he not have to earn a spot in the rotation?

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 2>And the good news for Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 2>is the Dodgers' schedule lends itself to not needing six

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 2>pitchers or even five starters if you don't want to

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>use them, because the Dodgers have five days off in

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the first five weeks of the season, including after playing

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.839
<v Speaker 2>three games to open the year at Dodgers Stadium against

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks. They have a random Sunday off before they

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>continue the home stand against the Guardians. So that lends

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>itself to the Dodgers using the schedule in their favor

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 2>to not necessarily have six pitchers in their rotation. They

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.439
<v Speaker 2>can skip a guy if they wanted to, or they

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 2>could spot start a guy. Maybe Gavin Stone is part

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>of this, so keep that in mind. It's just, you know, why,

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 2>why is Roki Sasaki automatically given a spot in the rotation?

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six, nine, seven two five seventy is the

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 2>phone number. And look, like I said, and I'll say

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>it again, it's only one start. But if he has

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 2>a rocky spring training, maybe it would do him better

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 2>to stay back with the schedule the way it is

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>and allow a guy like a Gavin Stone or a

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan to have that spot to begin the season

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>because they are ready to go. And look, Andrew Friedman

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>has been very, very transparent in all of this when

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>it comes to Roki Sasaki. The Dodgers didn't sign him

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>just for last year or this year. They've I got

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>this guy for four more years after this season and

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Friedman said it last year. This is not something

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that the Dodgers were counting on to be an overnight sensation.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They were very much prepared for this to be a

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.599
<v Speaker 2>development situation with Roki Sasaki, even with all the fanfare.

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's not like the Dodgers were expecting him to

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 2>be Yamamoto right away. Now. They believe he has the

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>talent to be that good, but they're very prepared with

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 2>the fact that this is a guy that needs seasoning

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and needs some help to round into shape. And he

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 2>did not have the same type of career as Yamamoto

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.719
<v Speaker 2>or Otani. The Japanese media believed that he kind of

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 2>rushed his way to Major League Baseball and he never

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>was as decorated or as accomplished as Yamamoto. He just

0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 2>threw one hundred miles an hour and could command it

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>in He just hasn't been able to command it consistently

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 2>so far with the Dodgers. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven,

<v Speaker 2>The table is set for you. Who has had the

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 2>better career, Mookie Bets or Mike Trout And do you

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 2>believe if Roki Sasaki does not have a good spring.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>He deserves a spot in the Dodger rotation to begin

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the year. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five

<v Speaker 2>We have phone lines open at eight six six, nine

<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy. I have set the table

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 2>for you tonight, Mookie Bets or Mike Trout, who has

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 2>had the better career. I know the tail of the tape,

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the numbers, the four hundred and four home runs. The

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>three MVPs for Mike Trout will wile you. And yes,

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying he hasn't had a great career, but

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 2>if I had to choose somebody's career, I would choose

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Mookie betts career over Mike Trout's eight six six, nine

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy. And also Roki Sasaki a

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>rough first start in the Cactus League, trying to prove

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>that he is ready to be part of this Dodgers

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 2>starting rotation. To me, he has to earn it. I

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>don't believe that you can just hand this guy a

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 2>starting spot in the rotation and look, if these other

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 2>two pitches don't play, did the Dodger and Rokie have

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 2>to accept Maybe the best way to help the Dodgers

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 2>is again coming out of the bullpen. Eight six, six

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Rancho Cucamonga. Paul,

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi.

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 5>Paul, Hey, Dave, how's it going and calling you over

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 5>the years, So happy you're out there in Arizona with

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 5>our boys. But uh, and also by the way, you

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 5>do an amazing job all the time, brother, I love you.

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, thank you, Paul.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.719
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it.

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean I'm hoping, dude, that that cutter coming along

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 5>and this was just first day jitters. You know, he's

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 5>out there in front of the you know, the whole

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 5>crew and first time of the year, and you know,

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 5>maybe he's got that jitters and can get it under

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 5>his belt. But man, we can't keep all these young

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 5>guys down, dude, Gavin Stone, River, Ryan, Robleski. I mean,

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 5>how many lefties do we got in our lineup? Butting

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 5>out Blakes now probably not ready for the start of

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 5>the of the season. I mean, I don't know, man,

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 5>I think he could just walk in like you did

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.959
<v Speaker 5>last year and you know, just be penciled in there

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 5>because I mean, we got a lot of young dogs

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.559
<v Speaker 5>out there that they are chumping at the bit. I mean,

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying he's better than Landing next because I

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 5>mean landing that doesn't shock, don't get me wrong, but

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 5>we all give.

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 2>That we're talking we're talking about Yeah, we're talking specifically River,

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Ryan and Gavin Stone, and yeah, I just it would

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 2>be ideal if Roki Sasaki could be a starter coming

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 2>out of camp because that would help things and help

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the depth situation, especially with Snell not being ready for

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>opening day and both these young guys River Ryan and

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone coming back from pretty significant surgery. So I'm

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 2>not saying I don't want it to happen. In fact

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it would. It would make things a lot better if

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 2>it does happen. But I'm saying, you compromise your bullpen.

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 2>If you throw this guy out there two three times

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 2>to begin the year and he only goes four innings,

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 2>that's just not going to help anybody.

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 5>I hear you, and I got a little quick on

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 5>the Mookie and Mike Trout fantastically. We're saying what we're

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 5>talking here Dan Marino versus what Joe Montana because he's

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 5>got five. Yeah, that's Goooki's on Tom Brady level, he's

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 5>got seven.

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 2>That's that's a good comparison. Definitely. Yeah, baseball's a little

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 2>bit different of a sport. A quarterback can change the

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>fortune of a franchise, and in crunch times, certainly Joe

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Montana was was the man. So it's not exactly the same.

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 2>But I understand what you're trying to say. Mike Trout

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 2>has the stats, but Mookie Betts has the rings. And

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying Mike Trout and Mookie Bets are both

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Hall of famers, But if I had to choose one

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 2>of these guys careers, I would choose Mookie Betts career

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 2>in a heartbeat. Let's go out to mission Viejo Jim,

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi, Jim good Indian.

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 6>David, love your show.

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Want me to comment on both of your very welcome.

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 6>You do a great job. I wanted to comment on

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 6>both the Slazaki and the Trout Bets thing. Obviously, they

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 6>did put him in the bullpen last year if he

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 6>didn't work If he doesn't work out, we could put

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 6>him back in the bullpen. The only problem is is

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 6>we're paying a lot of money to him to have

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 6>him go in a bullpen.

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 2>They're not paying him a lot of money, Jim, Jim,

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>they're not paying him a lot of money. He's on

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 2>a minimum contract, rookie contract. He's not getting paid three

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred four hundred million dollars. So no, they are not

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 2>paying him a lot of money.

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry, I thought he signed a big contract when

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 6>he came over.

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 2>No, it was a standard rookie international signing.

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I apologize, then then perfect put him in the bullpen,

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 6>and then on your Bets and Trout. I'm a huge

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 6>Bets fan. I'm from Massachusetts, so I loved him when

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 6>he was with the Socks. Obviously been out here for

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 6>forty years, so I'm a big Dodger fan. But here's

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 6>the only thing I would say is when Trout came

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 6>into baseball, for the first eight years of his career,

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.400
<v Speaker 6>he was probably the best player in baseball for six

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 6>of those eight years. And I know he's gotten hurt,

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 6>but Mike Trout saying the career it's a little bit different.

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.959
<v Speaker 6>But you can't even compare the two. Mike Trout has

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 6>had a better career. He's just been on a losing

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 6>team and you can't fault him for that. So I

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 6>understand that. I mean, I still love Mukie. I think

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 6>he's a fabulous player, and him moving positions all the

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 6>time makes him even better. But to compare the two,

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 6>when you could say that Mike Trout was the best player,

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 6>hands down for six years in all of baseball, you

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 6>can't compare them.

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 2>I can make the argument Mookie Betts has been the

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>best player for four or five years and still has

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot more left than Mike Trout does. But you're right.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>The first six years of Mike Trout's career, hands down,

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm best player in baseball and he's only been to

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 2>one Playoff series and that was in twenty fourteen. So

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 2>his first few years the Angels were pretty good. But

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously it's gone sideways, and he had an opportunity to leave,

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.199
<v Speaker 2>to sign with the team that would give him a

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.959
<v Speaker 2>better opportunity to win a championship, but he chose to

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 2>stay with the Angels and kind of hide in anonymity

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 2>in Orange County. Eight six six nine eighty seven two

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number speaking of Mookie Bets,

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.920
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to catch up with him earlier today.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Here is our one on one conversation with four time

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 2>World Series champion Mookie Bets. I think guys are starting

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 2>to get tired of me. It's that time of spring training.

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 2>It's only been two weeks. Guys are getting tired of me.

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.919
<v Speaker 2>But my guy, Mookie Bets, has taken some time for

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 2>us and I appreciate that. Hey, not bad, four rings,

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>looking for a fifth. Thank you for the time, and

0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>great to see you out here again.

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 7>Yes, sir, you that's how you know we love you though,

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 7>because we were messing with you, you know, every time

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 7>you step foot around us. So it's good to see

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 7>you again.

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:07.640
<v Speaker 6>Hey.

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I know you said this is the first normal spring

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 2>training you've had with the Dodgers, and I was thinking

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 2>about it, and you're right. You go back to twenty

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty and twenty one, the pandemic cut things a little

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 2>bit different, and then obviously you've had to go on

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 2>these trips to Tokyo and Korea. How does it feel

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to just ease into the season.

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 8>It's kind of weird.

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 7>It's kind of weird. I forgot what it feels like.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.359
<v Speaker 7>So you know, I'm really this is really the first

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 7>time I get to kind of take my time. You

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 7>was ramped up and fully ready to go right now.

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 7>So you know, fortunately I'm at the stage in my

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.680
<v Speaker 7>career where I can kind of take my time and whatnot,

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 7>and so I'm gonna see how it works.

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 2>How does it feel coming off back to back World

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Series Championships and to have the same core group of

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.160
<v Speaker 2>guys with you to try to go for this three peet?

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean I think does that and itself mean

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 7>so much? You know, usually after stuff like this, you know,

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 7>teams kind of break apart, guys want to go get

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 7>their money or whatever it is, right, But no, not

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 7>this group. This group is it's almost likely kind of

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 7>will do everything to stay together, you know, because you

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 7>never really get an opportunity to to love coming to

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 7>work as much as we do, love each other as

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.879
<v Speaker 7>much as we do, and love playing as much.

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 9>As we do.

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 7>So very rarely have you do you see in sports

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 7>all three of those things, and we got it.

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I asked Miguel Rojas about this, what you guys are

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 2>on the verge of trying to accomplish making history. A

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.439
<v Speaker 2>lot of people weren't even born the last time a

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>team won three in a row, but he said, you

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 2>guys are embracing that and not shying away from it.

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Is that the way you've gone about it the last

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 2>couple of years, and is that the way you guys

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 2>have to approach it this year? Not shy away from success?

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.199
<v Speaker 7>I mean I would say so, you know, having the

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 7>hav an opportunity to win every year, you know, having

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 7>those expectations, that's a blessing in itself. And then being

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 7>able to We were ready to come through twice just

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 7>to have this type of opportunity. I mean, people don't

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 7>even get this opportunity, whether we do it or not.

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 7>And so obviously we obviously we're embracing it and we

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 7>know what's here. And it's not like it's, you know, anything,

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.600
<v Speaker 7>it's a huge thing. It's the history is so the

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 7>only way to kind of get through that is just

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 7>embrace and understand the battle and then figure out how

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 7>to attack it.

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 3>Muki.

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Everybody seems to always want to focus on individual numbers,

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 2>but the reality is, ever since you came to the Dodgers,

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>all they've done is win. How much pride do you

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 2>take in that? Because when they trade it for you,

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 2>that was the goal. And you're on a roll right now,

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>even starting in twenty twenty. What does that mean to

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 2>be considered a winner?

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 9>You know?

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 7>Obviously that's why we play. You know, that's why we play.

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 7>I want to be a winner. I mean obviously, you know,

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 7>individual accolades are a great thing, right, but it doesn't

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.000
<v Speaker 7>mean anything unless unless you're winning, you know, and so

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.880
<v Speaker 7>you know, obviously hasn't been just me. You know, we've

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 7>had some great teams here and they were winning before

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 7>I got here. But you know, you know, with show

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 7>Hey coming over, I mean you can argue that, you know,

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 7>he's the number one reason why, which is amazing. He shoot,

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 7>I'll take it, I'll take it. But you know, just

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 7>being being what I feel like, I'm a winner and

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 7>I feel like coming to winning organization with a lot

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 7>of guys in here who are winners or aspire to

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 7>be winners, it's just a really good match.

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 2>A lot of these people don't remember or have short memories,

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 2>but I remember your first spring training with the Dodgers,

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 2>how you demanded guys to practice like it was the game.

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 2>You had the jar and here you are, you got

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.200
<v Speaker 2>four or five different shortstop gloves, get ready to go

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 2>before anybody else. Do you feel like that tone has

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 2>been set again this spring?

0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely, I mean that's that tone I think since since

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 7>then hasn't really hasn't really left. And so you know

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.119
<v Speaker 7>that's that's just kind of what it is. That's the

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 7>way we'll we will get through this, uh, this history.

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 7>This is how we'll create the history. It's just by

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 7>taking every day, one one day at a time, one

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 7>ground ball at a time, and making it to where

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 7>we don't know the difference. I think that's the beauty

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 7>of this team is we don't know the difference between

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 7>pressure and no pressure, because if we view it all

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.360
<v Speaker 7>the same, it's the same. It's the same. So when

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 7>it got down late in the season last year, it

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 7>wasn't a panic. It wasn't like we needed to play

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.119
<v Speaker 7>harder or do this more. It was like, no, we

0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.439
<v Speaker 7>just play our game. I mean, it's the same thing

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 7>we've been doing all year. And so I think that

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 7>was a beautiful, beautiful thing about that last year. And

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 7>now just the culture we have.

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Mookie, speaking of all that, where you guys practice

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and then it shows up in Game seven of the

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:58.400
<v Speaker 2>World Series, what about in the NLBS against the Phillies,

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 2>the whole wheel play? All that is the wheel play

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 2>in practice in spring training? Or is that just instincts

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 2>as the season goes on.

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 7>That's just instincts. That's just instincts. We have a good

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 7>veteran group here, and we've seen the game so much.

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 7>We we know a lot of things about this game.

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 7>And so that was just us kind of Doc trusting

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.159
<v Speaker 7>us to help him. You know, he helps us so

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 7>much and puts us in so many spots to win,

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 7>so that was our way to to kind of do

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:29.160
<v Speaker 7>it for him.

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, before I let you go, you got new

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>tequila Providencia and also you got a new glove line.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Can kids go out and buy that for the little

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 2>league season?

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 6>Yet?

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 7>That that's two we can I can't. I can't talk

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.560
<v Speaker 7>about it just yet. You know, we'll h We've got

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 7>a little time here. I'm just testing out some gloves

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.920
<v Speaker 7>right now. Let's just to see how it's going to

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 7>play out. So stay tuned and I'll make sure you know.

0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the real test would be a skinny,

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 2>fat guy like myself if I could catch a baseball

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>with your glove. I think it it's meant for everybody.

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 7>We'll get you on and we'll find out.

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, Hey, Mooky, great to see you. Awesome to

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 2>have you back for this run. And man, it's not

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger season without MOOKI bets, that's for sure. And

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 2>he's got that twenty one on the back of his

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 2>end in spring training.

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 5>Sick.

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:15.640
<v Speaker 7>It's sick.

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:18.439
<v Speaker 7>I saw kursh with it when I first got here,

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 7>so I always said I wanted one, and I got it, Yes, yes, sir.

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 2>And you got rings more to come. Thank you, Mooky.

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>There he goes, Mookie Bets. Appreciate the time, and that

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 2>was early in the morning, mooki Bets, so since games

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.360
<v Speaker 2>have started, just to lay out what's happening here at

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>camp in the morning, Mookie Bets and Miguel Rojas go

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 2>out on field two before the meeting that starts at

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:48.399
<v Speaker 2>about eight thirty am. This is the same Mookie Bets

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>that I saw and heard of in twenty twenty. We

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't see him a lot because he was always working,

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 2>whether it was in the cave or on the field.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>This is a similar spring training to that one is

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 2>first one with the Dodgers, him just continuing to get

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>here early, putting in the work early, and then being

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 2>able to do more work after the team meeting when

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 2>guys go out for live BP and regular batting practice.

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 2>But Mookie Betts has come to camp noticeably bigger, stronger,

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and certainly ready for this marathon to try to make

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:30.439
<v Speaker 2>history and go for the three peat. First time in

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty six years, second time in the last what fifty years?

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's only two teams in the last fifty

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 2>years that have gone for the three peat. That's the

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Oakland A's and the mid seventies and the Yankees from

0:26:45.200 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight to two thousand. Many of you were not

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 2>born for either one of those. I wasn't born for

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 2>the A's three peat in the mid seventies, and I

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 2>know there's a lot of you listening that weren't born

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 2>when the Yankees repeated twenty six years ago. Themselves in

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to do, and that's make history to three

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 2>peat in baseball. Many of you, your kids have never

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 2>seen that happen before in their lifetime. And the Dodgers

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 2>have that opportunity this season. And you heard what Mookie

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Bets had to say. The reason why they were able

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>to execute the little things in Game six and Game

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 2>seven is because number One, they're mentally tough. They don't

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 2>put extra pressure on themselves. Number Two, they practice the

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 2>way they play and it starts in spring training. And

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>they have headed players. They have smart players, they have

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>baseball players, they have guys that have high baseball IQs

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 2>and guys that don't panic. A lot of these guys,

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 2>we have to start recognizing this. A lot of these

0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 2>guys have been there now times and that's a huge

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 2>advantage when the Dodgers play a team like the Blue

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Jays in Game seven, when the Dodgers play a team

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:13.439
<v Speaker 2>like the Yankees. I know the franchise has had twenty

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 2>seven championships, but Aaron Judge had never played in the

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 2>World Series before. That's a huge difference that the Dodgers

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 2>will have going into the postseason. Eight sixty six nine

0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number, And honestly,

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 2>that was the difference in the NLDS against the Phillies.

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 2>The Phillies made a lot of bad mistakes, nothing bigger

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 2>than oriyan Keckering throwing the ball away on a comebacker

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>to end the NLDS and the Dodgers win it at home.

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 2>That was the difference in that NLDS. That was a

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 2>lot closer than people give it credit for. There's a

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>very good chance the Dodgers don't win that NLDS best

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 2>of five against a one hundred plus win Phillies team

0:28:56.840 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 2>if Yamamoto and Blake Snell and Taoscar Hernandez don't shock

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Philly in the first two games of that series. Eight

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.719
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 2>phone number. We have three lines open when we continue

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 2>more of your phone calls eight six six nine eighty

0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. I'm not backing down. If I

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>had to choose between Mookie Bed's career or Mike Trout's

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 2>incredible career, I'm taking Mooki's career. He's had six Gold gloves,

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 2>an MVP, and more importantly, four championship rings. I'm sorry

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 2>that means more to me than three MVPs and five

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred home runs. Eight six six nine eighty seven two

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. And can you believe

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 2>p Crow Armstrong has doubled down on his criticism of

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 2>you Dodger fans. You'll hear what he had to say

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 2>next right here on a five to seventy LA Sports.

0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 2>David Vasse live that Camelback Branching Glendale, Arizona with you

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 2>until eight o'clock tonight here on a five to seventy

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 2>LA Sports. Thanks again to Mookie Betts who took time

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 2>out for us today. In case you missed that conversation,

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 2>you can find it on the iHeartRadio app. In case

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 2>you missed it, the Dodgers did not have any of

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>their regulars in the starting lineup today, and they still

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>beat the Arizona Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields ten to

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>seven to improve their record to five and zero. The Dodgers,

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 2>who have only had basically one game of their regulars

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 2>or the majority of their regulars in the lineup, and

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 2>that was yesterday, have scored double digits three times this spring.

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 2>So that just shows you, you know, not just so

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:50.479
<v Speaker 2>much about the Dodgers' offense, but which shows you just

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.960
<v Speaker 2>a huge drop off and quality pitching that these teams

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 2>are thrown out there early on in spring training. Speaking

0:30:57.560 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 2>of that, tomorrow, the Dodgers are going to be here

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 2>at home with a spring training game. You'll be able

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to watch that on Sports and at LA at twelve o'clock.

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Our next broadcast right here or simulcast will be on

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Friday from Scottsdale Stadium Dodgers Giants for the first time

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 2>this spring. Our coverage begins on Friday at eleven thirty

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 2>with first pitch at twelve oh five, and on Friday

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>night that will be our another Dodger Talk at seven

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 2>o'clock from Scottsdale Stadium eight six six nine eight seven

0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number before I let

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 2>you hear Pete Crow Armstrong double down on taking shots

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 2>at you. Let's go out to the phones. Philip in La.

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Philip.

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Doing all right?

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 10>Doing alright? I love the Mookie Bets Mike Trout discussion.

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 10>It's uh, it's fun. And when you asked which career

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 10>you'd rather have, I agree with you. I think Mookie's

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 10>career is the one you'd want, primarily because he's been

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 10>able to stay on the field. I think the most

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 10>frustrating thing about Trout's career is that he just hasn't

0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 10>been able to physically be able to stay on the field.

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 10>But I would I think you pointed out something a

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 10>minute ago that is critical with Trout's career, and it's

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 10>a fascinating debate as to if he'd made a different decision,

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 10>or if something had different had happened in his life,

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 10>had he been where Mookie was, had he played center

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.800
<v Speaker 10>field for Boston and then gone to the Dodgers, or

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 10>if he had done what Showhey had done and left

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 10>Anaheim and gone to Los Angeles. I mean, look at

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 10>show Hay's career after he left Anaheim.

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean he just I mean Trout is that every

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 2>freaking Eagles playoff game he had an opportunity to join

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Harper in Philadelphia and go to all the Eagles

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 2>games he wants. I mean, Trout has been to more

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Eagles playoff games than he's played in in his career.

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:03.960
<v Speaker 10>That's point. I mean, ultimately, the single biggest factor in

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 10>Trout's career is a choice he made to stay in

0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:10.719
<v Speaker 10>Anaheim because he could have left, and what would his

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 10>career have been had he left. He might have even

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 10>stayed healthy had he left, but he chose to stay

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 10>in an organization that didn't do well for him. And

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:22.880
<v Speaker 10>I don't dislike the Angels, but clearly it's not a

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 10>good organization. They have not put players around him to

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 10>help him reach his full potential. So yeah, you're right,

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 10>Mukie's had a better career. But I do think I think.

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 2>The question the better question, Philip, is the better question

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 2>is which career would you choose?

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 10>I want to win, so clearly you'd want Muki's career.

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 10>There's a degree I would agree with you. There's no debate.

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 10>You want to win at the highest level. I just

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 10>think it's a sad thing when you I don't believe

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 10>you've ever gotten to see what Trout could have done

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 10>had he chosen to leave.

0:33:56.760 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm just a believer, Philip. There's certain winning players and

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 2>then there's certain players that really I don't want to

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:08.280
<v Speaker 2>call uh losing players, because Mike Trout's not a losing player,

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 2>but there's certain players that are winning players. And Mookie

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 2>bats is a winning player. I'm not sure I could

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>say that about Mike Trout because after what we've heard

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.399
<v Speaker 2>from Arty Moreno in the last week. If I'm Mike

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Trout and I care about winning, and winning right now

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 2>is not something that's attainable in the organization's eyes. If

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm Mike Trout, I'm saying I want out. I want

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to win right If he cares about winning that much.

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I think I think.

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he's very comfortable. I think he's very comfortable

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 2>in Anaheim and going under the radar.

0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 10>He's comfortable now. I think he was optimistic when he

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 10>was younger.

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I that's I agree with that. I agree with that

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 2>for sure. All right, Philip, thank you for the phone call.

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Great Thank you, Philip, great phone call. And look, Mike

0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Trout's a hall of Famer, great career. I like I said,

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I think the better question is whose career would you choose?

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Would you choose to have Mike Trouts or would you

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.239
<v Speaker 2>choose to have Mookie betts career. I would choose and

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Philip would choose Mookie's career. Eight six, six, nine eighty seven,

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. All right, here

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 2>we go in case you missed it. I tried to

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>back up Pee Crow Armstrong. We played his clip with

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 2>me from twenty twenty four where he did give praise

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to Dodger fans and just playing at Dodger Stadium, and

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 2>in the Chicago Magazine interview he took shots at Dodger

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 2>fans saying that they're just there to take pictures. Well,

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:44.240
<v Speaker 2>today he was on foul territory and given the opportunity

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 2>to clarify his comments, and he made it worse.

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 8>I didn't get a chance to really, like like, back

0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 8>that statement up with the fact that that has nothing

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:57.440
<v Speaker 8>to do with Doc, that has nothing to do with show. Hey,

0:35:57.440 --> 0:35:59.759
<v Speaker 8>any of the players over there. I love MOOKI Betts

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 8>look up to him like crazy. Freddy's only ever been

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:06.680
<v Speaker 8>great to me. If anything, those are the guys that

0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 8>have given these fans a reason to be fans. And

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 8>you know, I grew up going to Dodgers games when

0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:18.600
<v Speaker 8>they weren't always good, when they had like Manny would

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:24.360
<v Speaker 8>pop up. But it's like they go in phases and

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 8>and I remember, like you know, all fans fighting stuff

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 8>like putting the Giants fan in the calmba like that

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 8>stuck with me as a kid, like just little things,

0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:36.040
<v Speaker 8>you know, and and sitting in the stands, just nasty

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.759
<v Speaker 8>stuff goes on. I didn't always experience that at other ballparks.

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:40.960
<v Speaker 8>But like I said, that has nothing to do with

0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:43.160
<v Speaker 8>who's actually on the field for them. I love playing

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:47.919
<v Speaker 8>against them, and I love I just love what they're

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:51.319
<v Speaker 8>doing right now because they're they're creating a dynasty. But

0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:54.240
<v Speaker 8>I want to take them down too, And and again

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 8>I love it.

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.960
<v Speaker 10>All the people that are like for sports man, Robberries,

0:36:59.040 --> 0:36:59.399
<v Speaker 10>let's go.

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Fade out, fade out. Pete Crow Armstrong, what are you doing?

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I tried to help you out last night, and now

0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 2>you double down and start to bring up the Brian

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Stone incident. I mean, come on, man, that is so

0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 2>low below the belt. And I got news for you.

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I see fights at a lot of stadiums, and quite honestly,

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I have known Dodger fans that were coming to Dodger

0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Stadium around the time that you referenced many Wood, and

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:34.360
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't as safe of a stadium as it is now.

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I got news for you, and I know actual friends

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:41.839
<v Speaker 2>that refused to come back to Dodger Stadium because they

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 2>felt like it wasn't safe around that period of time.

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Now I felt like that was an overreaction, but they

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:53.280
<v Speaker 2>came back a couple of years ago and they said,

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium is night and day different than it was

0:37:57.440 --> 0:38:01.880
<v Speaker 2>around that period of time that Frank McCourt owned the Dodgers,

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:06.360
<v Speaker 2>around a nine and ten. Dodger Stadium is one of

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the most family friendly stadiums now in baseball. Yes, of course,

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:14.760
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be overserved fans at a football game,

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:17.759
<v Speaker 2>at a basketball game, at a baseball game, and they're

0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be idiots. You're telling me at Wrigley Field,

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 2>where it's known for having daytime beers, there's no fights

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 2>at Wrigley Field. PCA, really really, and you're contradicting what

0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 2>you said. You said basically, Dodger Stadium is a stadium

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 2>that fans only go there to take selfies. Now you're

0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 2>saying that they're too intense and they start fights. Which

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:47.600
<v Speaker 2>one is it? It seems like you don't really know,

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's why you're sounding, quite frankly, not Phi Beta Kappa.

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:58.439
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, you had your chance, you doubled down,

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and now you're gonna hear when you come to Dodger Stadium.

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:06.080
<v Speaker 2>You're probably on the Fernando Tattoos junior list right now.

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that's the booze that you're going to get.

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:12.280
<v Speaker 2>And when you're in center field, you will hear those booze.

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:16.680
<v Speaker 2>And look, Dodger fans are going to let you hear it,

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:19.799
<v Speaker 2>because they're well within their rights to let you hear it.

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.880
<v Speaker 2>And I do not condone throwing anything that fans were

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:28.839
<v Speaker 2>thrown at Tattoos a couple of nl ds as ago.

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was horrible and I would never condone that.

0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 2>But fans can boo as loud as they want at

0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 2>p Crow Armstrong. He just doubled down and completely contradicted

0:39:40.560 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a what he said originally, and now he's going, you know,

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 2>below the belt. In my opinion, let's go out to

0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Andrew in La, You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Hi Andrew.

0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 3>David, I'll worry Ben, I'm doing good.

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe my guy PCA is doing this. He's

0:39:58.640 --> 0:39:59.720
<v Speaker 2>going down this road.

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I am a big Dodger fan, huge, like I schedule

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:06.440
<v Speaker 3>my things. I got to do as a dad around him,

0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.440
<v Speaker 3>so I don't miss a pitch. But I got to

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 3>agree with him. Okay, So so onset, right, so kick

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 3>me out to hear me out?

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hold on, hold on, no, you hear me out

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 2>really quick? Which part do you agree with? Because in

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:23.600
<v Speaker 2>the original interview he said, basically, Dodger Stadium is a

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:27.680
<v Speaker 2>tourist stadium where everybody just takes pictures. And now he's

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 2>saying when he used to go to games, you know,

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.600
<v Speaker 2>he was there for many wood in the bad times,

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 2>they went to the NLCS Anda And now he's saying

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:39.040
<v Speaker 2>that there's fights and he didn't feel safe. Do you

0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:42.000
<v Speaker 2>think do you think Picrow Armstrong ever sat in the pavilion?

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Andrew, No, No, but but hear me out real quick

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 3>on why I want to say what he's what I

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 3>think he's trying to say. Okay, if you go to

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Dodger Stadium, Dodger Stadium. You know it's the Lakers show

0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 3>of the showtime, right. There's a bunch of business people

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 3>around LA that buy season ticket They do in centers

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.160
<v Speaker 3>and they let their coworkers go, their colleagues go.

0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 3>When you sit below in the field level, you hear

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 3>side conversations and it's never about the game. I've been

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.040
<v Speaker 3>to many different stadium when I travel to watch the Dodgers,

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:13.480
<v Speaker 3>and it's all baseball talk that I could agree with.

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:17.479
<v Speaker 3>When it's crucial situations, playoff time, we can't get handed.

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.120
<v Speaker 3>We get handed a rally talent to pump up our pictures,

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 3>to motivate the hitters and all that. With two strikes,

0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:26.719
<v Speaker 3>what are we doing. We're sitting down, faces loaded two strikes,

0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:29.319
<v Speaker 3>well even one, you know first any we're sitting down.

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.960
<v Speaker 3>We're not there like to cheer on our boys in blue.

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:35.520
<v Speaker 3>It's like we're just there just because we got to

0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:37.879
<v Speaker 3>pick it and we could take a selfie and post

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.759
<v Speaker 3>it on social media. That part I agree with him,

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 3>But the comments he made today, he took it too

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 3>far right. But I think what he was trying to

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:51.440
<v Speaker 3>say is that we're not involved in the game as

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 3>much as other stadiums are. And it is because, yeah,

0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I disagree with that.

0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I think there's certain games that the fans are more

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:02.520
<v Speaker 2>engaged with. And I'm a believer that when a team

0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 2>is scoring runs, everybody's on their feet. They're excited. When

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 2>you know things are dragging a little bit, and baseball's

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 2>a great sport to hang out with your friends and

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.880
<v Speaker 2>talk and catch up and watch the game. That's how

0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:18.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of us do it, Andrew, and I don't

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 2>begrudge anybody for doing that, especially before there was a

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:23.280
<v Speaker 2>pitch clock.

0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, as before a lot of people were saying like, oh,

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 3>we sell out games, we win games. Yeah we do.

0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 3>But he's not referring to that, Andrew.

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Four million fans, and I think I think Dodger Stadium

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.920
<v Speaker 2>is pretty loud. You hear the Dodger players say that.

0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:40.360
<v Speaker 2>And I travel with them, Andrew. I'm not trying to

0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:43.279
<v Speaker 2>pull a John Ireland here to say I travel with them,

0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:45.560
<v Speaker 2>just to say it. I travel with them. I go

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:49.400
<v Speaker 2>to other stadiums, and trust me, the atmosphere is not

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:53.239
<v Speaker 2>electric like it is at Dodger Stadium. Trust me. The

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:56.800
<v Speaker 2>reality is those seats behind home played and by the

0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 2>dugout are very expensive. You're right, those are business corporation

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:06.759
<v Speaker 2>seats for the most part. The fans that there are

0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:10.799
<v Speaker 2>affordable tickets for fans in the field level, the loge level,

0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the pavilion, the reserve level, And now, you know, I

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.840
<v Speaker 2>think I think part of it, Andrew. The Dodgers have

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.760
<v Speaker 2>done such a great job of building different things around

0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the concourse where families can go and hang out if

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:26.480
<v Speaker 2>their kids are a little too wiggly, and and that

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:29.720
<v Speaker 2>center field plaza beer garden area. A lot of fans

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 2>hang out there if they have seats in the reserve levels,

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 2>so they're not actually in the bowl. And I think

0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:38.760
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that works against what you're talking about.

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:41.360
<v Speaker 10>Yep, yeah, I agree.

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 3>So I just wanted to just, you know, go ahead,

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 3>come out there and say we got it. As Dodge

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 3>fans can play off easy, we got to do a

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:49.839
<v Speaker 3>better job of beat in our seats light moment too.

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 2>They how about all the fans that stayed for eighteen innings?

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Is anybody going to give Dodger fans that that credit.

0:43:56.920 --> 0:43:57.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm one of them.

0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:58.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm one of those.

0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, come on, Andrew, Come on, Andrew, that's a general statement.

0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:07.680
<v Speaker 2>You and PC Air are making about Dodger fans. Come on, yeah,

0:44:07.760 --> 0:44:10.600
<v Speaker 2>go go watch the Dodgers in Cincinnati or Pittsburgh. Tell

0:44:10.640 --> 0:44:11.920
<v Speaker 2>me how that atmosphere is.

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's a dead zone.

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Thank you all right, Andrew, thank you for the phone call.

0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. Sorry,

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:24.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not buying that. Dodger fans are very knowledgeable, you know.

0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 2>The Cardinal fans get this. In my opinion, kudos for

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:32.920
<v Speaker 2>being the best fans in baseball, the smartest fans in baseball.

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a crowd like I've seen at Bush Stadium.

0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 2>A fly ball to shallow left field and they get

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:43.680
<v Speaker 2>up like they think it's a home run. To me,

0:44:43.800 --> 0:44:46.400
<v Speaker 2>that's not a smart fan base Let's go out to

0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Vicki and La. You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi.

0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Vicki, Hi David, it's I know you don't remember me,

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 4>but I met you at Wrickley Field. I've seen you

0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.560
<v Speaker 4>a few times at Dodger Stadium and I had to

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:04.839
<v Speaker 4>call when I heard that Andrew guy call say he

0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:07.400
<v Speaker 4>was a Dodger fan, and he agreed with some of

0:45:07.440 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 4>the comments. No, he is not a Dodger fan. I

0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.160
<v Speaker 4>doubt he was there for that eighteen inning game like

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 4>me and my family were. I actually fought Toronto fans

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:23.440
<v Speaker 4>leaving the game when during that eighteen inning game. And

0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:28.400
<v Speaker 4>anyone who believes anything about those Dodger fans and what

0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:30.960
<v Speaker 4>they think that is dangerous. It is not. I have

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.120
<v Speaker 4>grown up at Dodger Stadium. I grew up in the pavilions.

0:45:34.239 --> 0:45:37.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm a season ticket holder, and he is not a

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 4>true Dodger fan. I've been to wrigley Field, and I've

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 4>been to the UB.

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:47.440
<v Speaker 2>To the just jealous that he doesn't have the tickets

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:49.960
<v Speaker 2>that are a little bit closer than where he sits.

0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:52.680
<v Speaker 2>That's what it sounds like, VICKI and I can understand that.

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.759
<v Speaker 2>But the Dodgers have done a great job over the

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:57.839
<v Speaker 2>course of the last ten years where if you have

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.279
<v Speaker 2>top deck or reserve tickets, you don't have to be

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 2>stuck up there. You can move down and get a

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:04.800
<v Speaker 2>better look from a different vantage point.

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 4>I totally agree. I love actually sitting up on top deck.

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 4>That's where I sit, and I have a lot of

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 4>friends up there. But yes, you can move around. Dodger

0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Stadium is a family friendly place, and anyone who doesn't

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.680
<v Speaker 4>feel that way or says they're a real Dodger fan

0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:24.319
<v Speaker 4>and they think otherwise and they're not a real Dodger fan.

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:25.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, David.

0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:28.359
<v Speaker 2>All right, VICKI thank you for the phone call. And look,

0:46:28.640 --> 0:46:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I would say four million fans for the first time

0:46:32.560 --> 0:46:36.480
<v Speaker 2>in Dodger Stadium history, first time in baseball history. I believe.

0:46:37.960 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Disagree with Pete crow Armstrong in his comments let's go

0:46:42.760 --> 0:46:45.880
<v Speaker 2>out to Louis in Anaheim. You're on Dodger Talk. How

0:46:45.920 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 2>you doing, Louise.

0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 9>I'm doing well, best saying nice to talk to you.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:51.880
<v Speaker 9>I'm a big fans thank you.

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Bigger fan of me than Pete crow Armstrong.

0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:58.640
<v Speaker 9>Oh definitely, for sure, especially up to these comments. I

0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:00.919
<v Speaker 9>do really like him. But I do got to say

0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:04.520
<v Speaker 9>I've been a longtime Dodger fan, and I do remember

0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 9>the times when it was a little bit more violent,

0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 9>but nowadays it really is a lot more safe. Like

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 9>I have a young daughter that I actually bring to

0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:14.560
<v Speaker 9>the games. I brought her at three months old and

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.520
<v Speaker 9>she was totally happy to be there. And then for

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:20.399
<v Speaker 9>the comment he said about the pictures, I mean, of course,

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 9>everybody's going to take pictures at the Stadium. You know,

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 9>you're at Dodger Stadium with big all star names that

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:28.240
<v Speaker 9>people want to come see. Like I live in Anaheim,

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.160
<v Speaker 9>and I see what happens at Angels Stadium where people

0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:33.520
<v Speaker 9>are not excited and it's not a static at all,

0:47:34.000 --> 0:47:37.080
<v Speaker 9>Like like, Dodger Stadium is just the place to be.

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:40.800
<v Speaker 9>I've taken an uncle that lives in Mexico, the big

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:43.799
<v Speaker 9>where big baseball films at their big Dodger fans as well,

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:46.359
<v Speaker 9>and he literally cried he did not want to leave

0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:48.919
<v Speaker 9>Dodger Stadium because of how emotional he felt there.

0:47:49.680 --> 0:47:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, come on, it's a great place. It's the third

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:55.400
<v Speaker 2>oldest ballpark and the Dodgers have done a great job

0:47:55.640 --> 0:48:00.319
<v Speaker 2>under Stancasten and Janner Marie Smith to make it more

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:03.360
<v Speaker 2>of a twenty first century modern ballpark even though it

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:06.120
<v Speaker 2>was built in nineteen sixty two. So I'm with you, Luis,

0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:09.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'll leave you with this. I took my family

0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:12.880
<v Speaker 2>to a game or got them tickets at Petco Park

0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago, and we saw fights as I

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:19.120
<v Speaker 2>was taking them around. I sat with them for a

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 2>few innings, and then when I left, I found out

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:25.719
<v Speaker 2>the person behind them sitting and their seats were in

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:30.160
<v Speaker 2>right field. The person sitting behind my wife and kids

0:48:30.400 --> 0:48:35.040
<v Speaker 2>threw up because they were overserved. So come on, I mean,

0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:38.799
<v Speaker 2>there are ridiculous people at every stadium that don't know

0:48:38.840 --> 0:48:41.719
<v Speaker 2>how to handle themselves. So let's not just put this

0:48:41.840 --> 0:48:46.560
<v Speaker 2>on one place or one sport. Picro Armstrong has no

0:48:46.640 --> 0:48:49.520
<v Speaker 2>idea what he's talking about. I'll just put it at that,

0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:52.360
<v Speaker 2>he has no idea what he's talking about, and he

0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:55.919
<v Speaker 2>should probably shut his mouth moving forward when it comes

0:48:56.000 --> 0:48:58.840
<v Speaker 2>to this. All right, that'll do it for us on

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk tonight. We'll be back with you on Friday

0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:06.920
<v Speaker 2>with our pregame coverage at eleven thirty before first pitch

0:49:07.160 --> 0:49:10.040
<v Speaker 2>between the Dodgers and Giants at twelve oh five, and

0:49:10.080 --> 0:49:13.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll have Dodger Talk at seven o'clock. And we already

0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:16.920
<v Speaker 2>have two guests lined up. Dave Roberts is going to

0:49:17.000 --> 0:49:22.000
<v Speaker 2>join us and JD Martinez, America's DH is going to

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 2>join us as well. Looking forward to that conversation, to

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 2>be reunited with JD Martinez and to have Dave Roberts

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:32.680
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk for the first time this spring. Thanks

0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to Ronnie Foscio for all his help. Thanks to you

0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:38.960
<v Speaker 2>for listening, and you are the greatest fans in baseball.

0:49:39.280 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what Picrow Armstrong has to say or

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:45.839
<v Speaker 2>anybody else. Dodger fans are the best. They come out

0:49:45.920 --> 0:49:48.719
<v Speaker 2>loud and proud, and I'll see you at Opening Day

0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:53.480
<v Speaker 2>and it will be electric coming up next Fox Sports Radio.

0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Have a great rest of your night. See you
