They're teeny tiny flies. They're smaller than a mosquito, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.320 but their bites are more painful than a mosquito bite. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.719 And as you said, they go for your face, your eyes, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.400 your mouth, your neck, your chest. And people in this 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.360 Azusa neighborhood are concerned about their kids, their pets spending 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.400 too much time outside because some have actually come home 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:47.600 with these really painful welts. So you already have mosquitoes, 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.320 and now you have these flies that bite just like mosquitoes. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.960 Yes, but rapid rate. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:54.680 There's so many. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.880 You step in the grass in the evening and fifteen 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.239 pop out and you just you can't water the grass 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.200 here without getting bit, even with being well covered and sprayed. 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.159 These biting black flies thrive and breed in running water 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.320 like the San Gabriel River. Then they start popping up 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:18.320 in nearby foothill communities like Altadina Zusa, Dwarte, Glendora, Monrovia, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.920 and Sierra Modreal Valle. Vector Control says last year at 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.600 this time they were seeing black fly populations in the 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.960 single digits, but this year they're seeing populations in the 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.080 hundreds and much earlier than expected. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.359 Thank you Rachel bang Up reporting out there in Duarte. 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.800 Beware of ie biding flies.

Were you able to sleep last night? 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.520 You couldn't sleep on your stomach. I bet because you're 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:45.760 a huge boner for yourself. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:51.400 Oh come on, Petros, keep it above the waist here, jeez, jeez. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.319 Planeapples were hard, all right, keep it above the waist. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.200 It would make it hard to man. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.040 Look and I would inspect something similar to last night. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.760 This is just a different weight class that the Dodgers 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.000 and Diamondbacks are in right now, especially with the Diamondbacks 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.840 pitcher Tonight Ryan Nelson and the fact that the Diamondbacks 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.000 don't even have a left handed reliever in their bullpen. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.040 How do you construct the team in the same division 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.679 with the Dodgers and not prioritize having at least two 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.319 lefties to be able to bring out of the bullpen 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:27.760 to face these guys. 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.120 Dave, I would assume I'm guessing, but maybe I'm wrong. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.880 Last night, if you could have put your thumb on 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.920 one player that you would love to see hit a 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.439 home run, it would be Pahz. After the four for 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.320 fifty one stretch in the postseason, what did you see 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.079 from his at bats? How big was that for him 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.839 to immediately start the season like that as opposed to 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.120 continuing to have to answer questions about offense that goes 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:53.679 along with his splendid defense. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.360 No, that was a big confidence booster for him. Look 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.559 the four for fifty one in the postseason, it was 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:07.040 just a product of him getting exposed to postseason pitching 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.000 for the first time, trying to do too much, only 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.760 drying one walk. And he lived with that during the 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.200 off season because he knew he had to get better 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.240 and he's put in a lot of work to try 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.760 to be more disciplined at the plate. But you're never 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.120 going to take away his aggressiveness and you know, to 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.319 a certain extent, his free swinging approach, and that's the 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.280 reason why he's hitting eighth and not hitting ninth. You 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.560 want the guy hitting behind him being able to turn 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.599 that lineup over. And that's why Max Munsey is so 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.400 important where he hits in the lineup, because Will Smith 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.480 swings the first pitches at times. Ta Oscar Hernandez certainly 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.080 has an expanded strike zone at times, and that's why Munsey. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.520 There was a there's a stretch in the lineup yesterday 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.880 where Monthsy took a seven or eight pitch walk after 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.079 Smith and Taoscar Hernandez swung early in the counts. And 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.920 you know that's the function of money seeing that part 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.559 of the order, especially with Pahz behind him. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.040 The one and only David Vasse is our guest. Dave Clayton. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.280 Kershaw was a star last night, and I guess we 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:14.720 didn't know that he was going to be sitting by 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.080 the dugout, but I guess we should have seen that coming. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.200 No, he did not see that coming, and nor should 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.160 we have expected that. It's one thing to make your 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.520 broadcasting debut, it's another to make it right next to 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.040 the dugout where you spent your nineteen years. And he 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.520 just won two World Series championships. With the players to 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.360 your left so I'm going to see him today. He 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.520 may join us today on the pregame show, and I'm 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.720 going to ask him how comfortable or uncomfortable he was 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.000 in the beginning part of yesterday's broadcast being that close. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.480 But I thought he was a natural. I mean, Money 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.680 even texts me during the game. It's like this guy, 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.920 he has command of the subject he's talking about. He 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.080 knows how to express himself, and he didn't seem nervous 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.400 at all. He was supernatural because he's very confident with himself. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.840 And that's why it came across as well as it 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.800 did on the broadcast. And I guess we do have 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.520 to give oral Herscheizer some credit here because, as you 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.080 like to say, Petros, he was a very inclusive teammate 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.840 and brought him in in certain situations and tried to 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.640 pull things out of him. Where you know a guy 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.720 that hasn't broadcasted games to how and why wasn't there 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.160 one hundred percent of the times? And when it wasn't 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.640 oral Herscheizer, you know, brought him in. It's hard when 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.000 you got the booth and then you got some rando 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.400 on the field or right next to the dugout. I 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.760 know how it feels sometimes you're forgotten about. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.840 Phasing out, the phasing you out, John, They're phasing it out. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.560 It was just just continuing with Kershaw Dave, because I 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.800 think we we kind of have you know, and unfortunately 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.680 we're talking about Tiger today for a Dewey. But you 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.000 know what happened with Tiger when he got much more 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.560 friendly with the media toward the end of his career. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.400 Same with Kobe, who was much more of a relaxed 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.600 and friendly with the media toward the end of his career. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.640 You got to be with Clayton for over a decade. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.680 Was he always like this when you would talk about 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.640 baseball or was there a bit of a shift in him? 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.280 There definitely was a shift in him. I would say 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.680 after he had his first kid, he softened up a 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.640 little bit. And I would say that you have to 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.320 put in a lot of time and gain some credibility 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.040 with him to be around him more than just two 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.800 or three And for him, it's three or four years 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.960 to really start to get some insight that he's sharing 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.680 now on television. But going back to Tiger Woods, I 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.560 feel like his life has really spiraled ever since he 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.280 was nice to you guys, and you guys were just 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.640 like little puppy dogs at his altar a few years ago. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.440 Ever since then, it's been different for Tiger Woods. And 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.320 but honestly, I feel like you guys have been exposed. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.640 Well, I would say, Dave aphot if you learned to 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.880 be a sicker fan from somebody. It was our inn 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.600 with Tiger Woods that made it happen. We did get 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.880 up in his house, but he had a lot of problems. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:08.640 Villa. 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.880 He had a lot of problems before that. Okay. In fact, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.920 after he talked to us, he won the Masters. We 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.480 gave him a boost, but we weren't able to hold 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:21.000 on because he never came back. If he could come back, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.639 things would be different for Tiger Woods. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.760 I believe that I win the British tomorrow. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.320 He would have Uh, Dave, why does Otani need protection? 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.040 We got hit on the hand yesterday, and I forgot 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.960 who else Scott hit yesterday. Mukie Betscott hit on the 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.320 upper shoulders. So the Diamondbacks were not trying to hit 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.560 those guys intentionally. But the reality is they're coming inside 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.800 with no regard about whether or not they hit these 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.119 two players, and in particular, Otawi, You've got to be 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.159 able to protect your players, and I feel like this 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:57.159 may be somewhat of something to. 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:57.879 Keep an eye on. 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.800 If teams are are feeling like they have nowhere to 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.160 turn and nowhere to pitch, they're going to come inside 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.520 on some of these really good Dodger hitters, in particular Otani, 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.240 and you can't just allow them to pitch and side 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.280 with no repercussions. Speaking of Kershaw, I remember back in 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:18.479 twenty thirteen when Joe Kelly broke Handley Ramirez's ribs. Nobody 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.480 retaliated during that NLCS, and in fact, it took the 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.320 Cardinals hitting a couple of more Dodger players in the 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:29.320 regular season of twenty fourteen before Kershaw, of all people 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:34.440 who never retaliated actually plunk Man Holiday between the numbers. Finally, 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.440 So if you allow this to fester and continue to happen, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.680 more teams are going to feel like they have the 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.240 freedom to pitch inside and if they hit Otani or 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.719 Mookie Bets or Freddie Freeman, so be it. So at 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.720 some point somebody on this staff has got to be 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:55.000 able to take some names and really pay back some 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.000 of these teams if they're going to continue to pitch 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.280 inside with no regard. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:00.600 I know you probably don't want to do it in 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.920 a high leverage situation, but I don't know. Maybe maybe 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.199 nominate Will Kleine with a nice ninety nine mile an 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:07.520 hour fastball between. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:08.679 How about tonight? 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:09.480 There you go? 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.840 How about Amshian tonight? But to will Climb Dave into 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.639 The first three relievers that we saw at the twenty 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:21.760 twenty six season start from Trining Decline to Tanner Scott 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.840 could not have gone much better, especially when the eighth 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.679 and ninth innings are a combined seventeen pitches? What did 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.800 you see from those two? Are we just going to 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.760 see Vessia tonight? And I can't think of who else? 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.119 It would be Rableski? I think they would say from Monday, 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:38.840 but maybe put Edwin Diaz out there, Like what do 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.080 you think we're going to see from from the bullpen? 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:41.280 Is? 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.600 Early on here we try to figure out who goes where. 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.760 Now it's gonna be game dictated. You don't bring in 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.720 guys like Vessia who you're gonna use a lot this year. 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.560 I thought it was good last night in that type 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.680 of game situation. You got Blake Trining in there, and 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:01.399 you've got Tanner Scott in there in low leverage situations 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.919 to be able to retire the side in order. Tryina 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.040 was helped out by a great catch by Pajez to 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.960 rob Gabrielle Moreno to start that inning, and after that 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.520 it seemed like he relaxed. And you know, I was 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.359 talking to a few of the Dodger front office people 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.720 yesterday and they were telling me they saw the characteristics 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.560 of Tanner Scott's slider and spring training and it looked 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.320 like the Tanner Scott that they signed. And last night, 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.680 I think you heard Oral Herscheizer say it on the 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.200 broadcast as well, that that slider looked like the Tanner 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.960 Scott slider. So those two guys went back to the 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.199 dugout with some confidence after a rocky end to their 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.880 spring training, which was huge. But you're going to see 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.320 Edwin Diaz or Alex Vessio when it matters the most 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.200 in a one two run type of game. And look, 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.400 Dave Roberts may get him in to get some work 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.280 when it's like a ten to three game in the 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.440 eighth inning tonight, but that would just be to knock 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:57.359 off some of the rust. 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.960 David Vasse, he's the best of the Hey, how come 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.560 the Dbacks don't have any lefties in their bullpend Dave? 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.360 Did they forget to bring him? Yeah? 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:06.960 Right, I know. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.480 I don't understand how you could build a team in 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.040 the NL West with the Dodgers and not go out 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.240 and trade or sign for a really good, high leverage 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.879 lefty or serviceable left handed reliever to face the Dodgers, 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.280 who you know you're facing right away to start the year. 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:25.879 I don't know. 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.119 That's a little bit of malpractice in my opinion. And 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.119 Mike Cason is a pretty good GM. 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.080 That might be why somebody knew that an eighth spot 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:34.200 was going to be put up. 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.080 All right, might be a ten spot tonight. 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.719 Hello, whoa call the shot? Ten spot? You heard him? 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:41.760 Did you hear him? He said it? 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:42.560 He did it again? 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.560 Thank you, Dave. Have a great night in the over 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.880
