Speaker 4: no idea is that who that is?
Speaker 3: I don't know? Do you know?
Speaker 4: Jordan Chiles is a gymnast, Jordan American artistic gymnast. So
Speaker 4: I guess is that like the ribbon one? Or is that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, she's a UCLA all right, she's four eleven. My bad,
Speaker 4: I thought she was a American idoler gold medal winner
Speaker 4: Jordan Child, but an idiot, I am.
Speaker 3: Well, you made me look like an idiot too, thanks, Well, no,
Speaker 3: you made.
Speaker 4: Me look like an idiot by reading her name.
Speaker 3: She's at six o'clock. She's doing an interview, okay, at
Speaker 3: six twenty five the aces Well Farm rock out with
Speaker 3: the aces It's a bunch of chicks as they deliver
Speaker 3: high energy, feel good indie pop.
Speaker 4: Pretty popular, I believe.
Speaker 3: I guess. And then on the field, Jordan Chiles will
Speaker 3: be running around. The national anthem will be sung by
Speaker 3: Rosie or Rozzi r o z z. I. If I
Speaker 3: had to guess, i'd say she is a Latino, right.
Speaker 4: Or an Italian? Well, I don't, I mean double z Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I don't. I'm just saying, could be, don't no.
Speaker 3: Alana Haim from the band Ham you know the Glose
Speaker 3: girls that they're all kind of marginally attractive and they
Speaker 3: hang out with Taylor Swift who's also marginally attractive. Right,
Speaker 3: they're going to be out there too the night Women's
Speaker 3: Night Otani at the Mound. If they I mean, I
Speaker 3: wish they could have a girl pitch like they did
Speaker 3: in that Fox eleven show a while back. But I
Speaker 3: don't think it. I just probably not feasible.
Speaker 4: I wonder if I could score that, you know, I
Speaker 4: am built a certain way. I wonder if I could
Speaker 4: score that quarter sit.
Speaker 3: I think you would have done a great job at
Speaker 3: the photo shoot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet I fit into that thing.
Speaker 3: Real nice standing behind Will Smith's wife like she's the
Speaker 3: catcher and you're the umpire right, wearing your quarters zips.
Speaker 4: Perfect shot.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm surprised that Dodger owner and super woman in
Speaker 3: the world of women, Billy Jean King oh right wouldn't
Speaker 3: be h She might be front row center in this,
Speaker 3: but they did not. Does not look like she is.
Speaker 3: She's not on the headlines, but she still might make
Speaker 3: an appearance. So have a great time on Women's Night.
Speaker 3: Being a woman is better than being Greek because they
Speaker 3: don't have a Greek Knight at Dodger Stadium. But it's
Speaker 3: the same as being Guatemalan because they do have a
Speaker 3: Guatemalan Night at Dodger Stadium. So if you're a Guatemalan woman,
Speaker 3: you have an opportunity to develop. I don't crack. He's
Speaker 3: the under pressure I do when it comes to not
Speaker 3: having a Greek knight. The Kings can pull it off,
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers can't. What's the deal? And look, Matt
Speaker 3: told you they got an Italian to sing the anthem allegedly.
Speaker 2: Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 4: Well, just kind of continuing our assault on the information
Speaker 4: the information man slash woman business in sports.
Speaker 3: I've been I'm very unhappy with the position, Matt, with
Speaker 3: its position and its place.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's three. This is yeah, just another what Matt
Speaker 4: number the day is three? Adam Schefter, who is recognized
Speaker 4: as the number one information man since WOJ got out.
Speaker 3: But he's funny. Remember that one time he had no
Speaker 3: shirt on?
Speaker 4: Was the Kirk did the Kirk Cousins thing? Adam Schefter?
Speaker 4: And you know, the information folks got to have relationships
Speaker 4: with certain front offices and certain agents and pretty much
Speaker 4: their job is to carry their water and that's how
Speaker 4: they break news. Adam Shef. This is a direct quote
Speaker 4: from an Adam Schefter tweet. Ravens are signing former Vanderbilt
Speaker 4: quarterback Diego Pavia to a three year deal, per source.
Speaker 4: Pavia was supposed to try out this weekend, but the
Speaker 4: Ravens signed him in advance. Now to the lay person,
Speaker 4: that would sound like, holy crap, Pavi, didn't you drafted?
Speaker 4: But he's got a.
Speaker 3: Three year deal.
Speaker 4: A freaking guy made it into the NFL on a
Speaker 4: three year deal. This is be And I don't know
Speaker 4: because Pavia famously told John Gruden he wouldn't get to
Speaker 4: hire no agent because he ain't given ten percent to
Speaker 4: no chunk. Probably would have helped them get drafted. Young
Speaker 4: men hire an agent. It's a pretty gnarly game out there,
Speaker 4: and if you're as dumb as Diego Pavia, it's probably
Speaker 4: gonna be pretty hard for you to navigate it.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not like he was a runner up for
Speaker 3: the Heisman. He probably didn't know where any agents were
Speaker 3: down there in New Mexico.
Speaker 4: Nobody offered their services to them. So I'm assuming since
Speaker 4: he realized his mistake hired an agent. They got him
Speaker 4: into Ravens camp. And what do they sign him to?
Speaker 4: According to Schefter, a three year deal. Three years is
Speaker 4: the standard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it isn't that what they all signed.
Speaker 4: Undrafted free agent contract. It is a three year deal
Speaker 4: at the league minimum base salary.
Speaker 3: It's not anything beyond that. It is no different, is
Speaker 3: it a guaranteed?
Speaker 4: The guarantees on a UDFA are typically in the sixty
Speaker 4: to one hundred thousand dollars range, and they're like eight
Speaker 4: hundred I think the minimum now is eight eighty five
Speaker 4: or right in there per year. It is the exact
Speaker 4: same contract that pick your team and whatever UDFA they're
Speaker 4: bringing in signed.
Speaker 3: The exacting eight foot linebacker Gentry from USC went undrafted
Speaker 3: something that he signed.
Speaker 4: He got a three year deal. That is the it's
Speaker 4: an undrafted college free agent contract. That schefter chose to
Speaker 4: word that way on a high profile.
Speaker 3: Guide headlines on all the news headlines said, Diego Pavia
Speaker 3: three year deal with the ravens Lands three year deal,
Speaker 3: blah blah.
Speaker 4: Blah exactly, and it is so just misleading and dirty
Speaker 4: pool to do that to goosen agent a three year deal.
Speaker 3: Now, now you can correct me if I'm wrong, Man,
Speaker 3: I'm asking right. You can get undrafted and they sign
Speaker 3: you something a little bit better than what they would
Speaker 3: have normally, and you can be drafted really late, but
Speaker 3: you get a little bit better of a deal or
Speaker 3: some guaranteed money because they really like you, or something
Speaker 3: like that like that.
Speaker 4: There could be there could be teams jockeying for your
Speaker 4: services in the UDFA marketing, right, So that's your leverage,
Speaker 4: and they'll give you a little bit more. Hey, they're
Speaker 4: going to guarantee you what eighty all, right, will guarantee
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty like that absolutely will happen.
Speaker 3: And UDFA means undrafted free agent. So and just it's
Speaker 3: really upsetting, I think to a lot of people because
Speaker 3: just because you didn't get drafted doesn't mean you can't
Speaker 3: play pro football. No, I mean it really doesn't. And
Speaker 3: there's so many guys.
Speaker 4: Three guys made the Chargers last year, right, three, I
Speaker 4: mean they were undrafted.
Speaker 3: And and then it's a whole league, and then there's
Speaker 3: all the different guys and if you keep trying, a
Speaker 3: lot of them can end up breaking in. It doesn't
Speaker 3: mean your life's better or not because you played two
Speaker 3: or three years of NFL football. It's just it doesn't
Speaker 3: mean you can't play. And just because you got drafted
Speaker 3: doesn't mean you're going to have some great career.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tony Romo was undrafted, right, a lot of people.
Speaker 4: But to have this is the same deal that anybody does.
Speaker 4: This is the exactly this is a undrafted free Every
Speaker 4: undrafted free agent contract is three years. That's what they
Speaker 4: are because that protects the team, like you said, if
Speaker 4: you do take off. They don't want to take these
Speaker 4: guys on and only have a one year deal and
Speaker 4: not have anything on the back end in case they
Speaker 4: have them make the team and then they lose them
Speaker 4: the next year for a couple million bucks the ones
Speaker 4: they developed them.
Speaker 3: A better deal based on your position, even if it's
Speaker 3: not a great position. But that's not what happened here either.
Speaker 4: No, and even if it is, it's marginal. It's just
Speaker 4: a couple ten to twenty grand in the signing bonus,
Speaker 4: you know, guaranteed money range. This is. I don't know
Speaker 4: what that I'm maybe maybe I'm wrong, But to me,
Speaker 4: when I saw that, it's just dude, it's a three.
Speaker 4: It's an undrafted free He was signed as an undrafted
Speaker 4: free agent to show up in camp. They can cut
Speaker 4: them and they'll be out at most a couple hundred
Speaker 4: grand maybe, which sounds like a lot to us, but
Speaker 4: his pennies For an NFL franchise, that's bringing in a guy.
Speaker 3: And wait, if he balls out, his mom's gonna be
Speaker 3: out there. Oh, whether tongue out.
Speaker 4: Right tongue out and those those biker shorts on that jersey.
Speaker 3: His brother's gonna get drunken disorderly five minutes into the
Speaker 3: first quarter of the first game.
Speaker 4: That's what you want.
Speaker 2: This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5: Wap what a predicament is our song of the day.
Speaker 5: And something new from the Claypool Lenin Delirium, a collaborative
Speaker 5: effort between Less Claypool and Sean oh No Lennon from
Speaker 5: the forthcoming record titled The Great parrot Ox and the
Speaker 5: Golden Egg of Empathy. An interesting title indeed, and rather
Speaker 5: fitting for a Less Claypool project that happens to be
Speaker 5: the third a full length studio LP featuring their brand
Speaker 5: of progadelic progressive psychedelic rock that has a release date
Speaker 5: of this Friday, May the first, and they'll be stopping
Speaker 5: by the Long Beach Amphitheater for a show on Friday
Speaker 5: that would be July the third. It's new music from
Speaker 5: the Claypool Lenin Delirium with joy.
Speaker 3: Would you go to that, Ronnie and be like a
Speaker 3: Beatles dork?
Speaker 5: I absolutely would. I wouldn't be a Beatles dork, but
Speaker 5: I just want to go see Less Claypool and Sean
Speaker 5: oh No Lennon, what a what a mile like?
Speaker 3: There'd be a lot of Beatles doorks there. You know
Speaker 3: you hear the music, you know what I mean? What
Speaker 3: a Motley Crue pairing that is?
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Sean oh No Lennon and the crazy Less Claypool for primus.
Speaker 4: Kind of playing Long Beach on July third.
Speaker 3: About that, you guys can go hold each other's pozza, right,
Speaker 3: let's go puzzo holding. That's a lot like the handholding
Speaker 3: and palace. Pretty hot. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2: Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3: We make it easy. Yeap is free, and so is
Speaker 3: the text. Do So and Matt. We have so much
Speaker 3: reaction to something I love, which is of course high
Speaker 3: school conversation. Now, this all started when somebody texted us
Speaker 3: about how robust and awesome oak Park is even though
Speaker 3: it's unincorporated, how high the Eagles fly with their academics,
Speaker 3: and that there is quote, I believe a butt ton
Speaker 3: of money in the unincorporated canyons of oak Park. The
Speaker 3: eagles fly high. And I came out and said, they
Speaker 3: can't step to my public academic institution that I barely
Speaker 3: graduated from, which is filled with Asians. Palas Verdi's Peninsula high,
Speaker 3: top of the hill, top of the heap. And Matt
Speaker 3: looked up some some of polls.
Speaker 4: The official was US News and World Report is the
Speaker 4: official academic rankings of record.
Speaker 3: Great sports talk, and that had Peninsula far ahead of
Speaker 3: oak Park. Ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 4: Thirty four to forty five.
Speaker 3: I believe it because I predicted. And now we have
Speaker 3: a lot of people trying to get winning their jaws
Speaker 3: talk about their own schools locally, or mentioned something that's
Speaker 3: already been mentioned. Carson High School just received a Distinguished
Speaker 3: School designation. That place has not been distinguished since the
Speaker 3: Coltberger was across the street and the horse meet. No,
Speaker 3: we did not. That's why it was called Colberg is defamation.
Speaker 3: It was not. That's called Coltberger because of the Carson Colts.
Speaker 3: Clearly horse meat turn you to horse meat. My brother's
Speaker 3: best friend was a principal at Palas Vernes High And
Speaker 3: you're right, pe lot of handholding told you. There you go,
Speaker 3: You're not wrong about the Asians p at Peninsula. Just
Speaker 3: look at the robotics team. All Asian know this. The
Speaker 3: Asian robotics team for our high school, Peninsula High is
Speaker 3: one of the greatest robotics teams ever assembled in the
Speaker 3: history of public high school robotics. And they do an
Speaker 3: unbelievable job. And I have visited their whatever you call
Speaker 3: it their lab, the Phantom Cats because you know where
Speaker 3: the panthers Matt right, So they're called the Phantom Cats Catz.
Speaker 3: They're going to the World Championship of Electronic robot Teams,
Speaker 3: one of six hundred in the world, forty six here
Speaker 3: in the state of California. I went to Sunny Hills High. Essay,
Speaker 3: I was one of the twenty kids not in an
Speaker 3: ap cl Yes, I struggled and barely made it fool.
Speaker 3: The magnet schools Matt are described by one textosur as
Speaker 3: a school within a school, right, which kind of makes
Speaker 3: more sense. Yeah, and if you don't have a football team,
Speaker 3: you don't get to be on the on the list.
Speaker 3: P Your high school football team had the Apple iPhone
Speaker 3: sweatshop kids and the jabbawaukeees, science fairs and dance battles
Speaker 3: must have been awesome. Yes, it was her school we
Speaker 3: did have.
Speaker 4: I got a robotic club, I got a jabbawak.
Speaker 3: Now, look, we did not have the robotics team in
Speaker 3: my time. And the very competitive the Asian dance thing
Speaker 3: wasn't much of a thing either. It was a lot
Speaker 3: more just giant cross color pants, tons of cigarettes and
Speaker 3: fistfights at pool halls and souped up hondas playing chicken
Speaker 3: on Silver Spur and on Hawthorn during lunchtime. Hawthorne Boulevard
Speaker 3: ride by Peninsula High famously right where Tiger Woods crashed
Speaker 3: and almost lost his leg reaching for relief, where he
Speaker 3: was reaching for relief. What about El Segundo High School?
Speaker 3: Petros Our realtor told us it was top five.
Speaker 4: School's you're a sensation.
Speaker 3: You don't say, you know?
Speaker 4: I can look it up right here on my phone
Speaker 4: it says it's two hundred and eighty. You think about
Speaker 4: how many people are here in southern California. That's pretty dark.
Speaker 3: It's top five. It has to be a high school
Speaker 3: with an actual football team. You got to start with
Speaker 3: that list, Okay, I mean, you know that's where That's
Speaker 3: kind of where I was with Oak Park in Peninsula High.
Speaker 3: I mean, we might not be that good, but we
Speaker 3: feel the team. Now. Back in the day, we really
Speaker 3: fielded a team. You know nothing about the five five
Speaker 3: nines University High School, the Phoenix Rise from the Acidge Dashes,
Speaker 3: but I don't.
Speaker 4: Know, no, we were giving them. We're paying them a compliment.
Speaker 3: We played Whitney High School in baseball and one twenty
Speaker 3: six to nothing, go mayfair montsoon. Whitney High School in
Speaker 3: Serrinos doesn't just have Asians, it has Indians too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, there next to Bellflower and the cash and carry
Speaker 3: grocery stores. So there is some high school action Matt
Speaker 3: from many of our listeners.
Speaker 4: Because he doesn't know that India's cotton innov Asia, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, I mean there is a distinction,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like you get an Indian
Speaker 3: guy when.
Speaker 4: I say Indian.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I see an Asian guy, like when we
Speaker 3: aren't Asians at Peninsulaniore. Correct, and we do have a
Speaker 3: few Indians, but you know it's not we had Suda Ready,
Speaker 3: Suda Ready, who was yeah, one of the great Asian
Speaker 3: uh Indian pitchers of all time, pitch for Yale as
Speaker 3: a white man who went to Peninsula High. I can
Speaker 3: distinguish the ethnicity of every type of Asian sir, from
Speaker 3: Tie to Taiwanese to Korea. That was a text though,
Speaker 3: So that wasn't even me. We'll be back, we'll have
Speaker 3: more great sports talk. David Vasse will join us to
Speaker 3: talk an Asian pitcher tonight, shoe hail TONI. Then we're
Speaker 3: going to do the quick hits. Matt's got a top story.
Speaker 3: I think he's going to talk about football.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got some football today.
Speaker 3: We'll do the Dead and Alive guy Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 3: You're right, Matt, Indians are technically Asians unless they're like
Speaker 3: from the coaches.
Speaker 4: I guess, unless they're Lakota Sue, than they'd be Native Americans.
Speaker 3: Native American Indians, because if you're just a Native American,
Speaker 3: how do you get in on Indian Gaming. Got to
Speaker 3: think about that, yeah for a point, because I want that,
Speaker 3: ye shah, you do you want a piece of that?
Speaker 3: You've seen the gold dripping from the Marano tribes hands, right, kidn't.

Speaker 1: P with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
Speaker 1: the Vassie Report with David Vase.
Speaker 3: The worm turn right into the lizard's mouth. David Fasse
Speaker 3: joins us on your Dodger Station. David Vasse with a
Speaker 3: great interview with Kyle Tucker last night after his walk
Speaker 3: off game winning single. Everybody excited that the Dodgers dug
Speaker 3: that one out, and even Stephen Nelson had to admit
Speaker 3: that Yoshinobu Yamamoto was not sharp and it's hard, that's
Speaker 3: not easy. Joining us now Vetrim Sports at la MLB
Speaker 3: Network the great David Vasse was on the scene last night.
Speaker 3: He's always on the scene on the Petrosen Money Show.
Speaker 3: What's cragging, Dave? How are you hey?
Speaker 6: It's a great day in La drove my Hyundai Tucson
Speaker 6: from Downey Hyundai all over the city today. It even
Speaker 6: made the hills in Silver Lake, so it's a tested
Speaker 6: during the streets and on the freeway. So thanks to
Speaker 6: my guy Sam at Downey Hundai. You passed the test
Speaker 6: of the silver Lake Hills today on the way to
Speaker 6: Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: So give us an update with Otani. You know he'd
Speaker 3: been strug way to go, Dave. By the way, those
Speaker 3: are hard hills to navigate day. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3: That's why you need a Hundai. But very interesting Otani
Speaker 3: not going to dh tonight. Did get it going at
Speaker 3: the plate last night. Probably if that wasn't a ground
Speaker 3: rule double, the Dodgers would have tied it up earlier.
Speaker 3: But what is your thoughts about Otani and kind of
Speaker 3: how he's working his way through April a month that
Speaker 3: you told us. He told you he's notoriously slow at
Speaker 3: the dish.
Speaker 6: With Yeah, it seems like he's getting ready for a
Speaker 6: big May like he did last year when he hit
Speaker 6: fifteen home runs in the month of May, the month
Speaker 6: that he hit more home runs than any other month
Speaker 6: last season, and in the last three games for the Dodgers,
Speaker 6: he is starting to take better o'tani quality at that's
Speaker 6: not necessarily home runs, but you know, on Sunday a
Speaker 6: leadoff walk to really get things going, spark the offense
Speaker 6: by stealing a base and forcing a bad throw. He
Speaker 6: was on base all four times Sunday and then last
Speaker 6: night coming up big in a clutch situation in the
Speaker 6: ninth inning. So it seems like we're just a few
Speaker 6: days away from the beginning of May and Otani already
Speaker 6: is getting ready for a hot month. So that's a
Speaker 6: great sign. And also Dave Roberts did announce after the
Speaker 6: game last night that indeed, show Heyotani will not dh tonight.
Speaker 6: He will just be the starting pitcher. There's a day game,
Speaker 6: early game twelve ten tomorrow, so the Dodgers are load
Speaker 6: managing O'tani. And Andrew Freeman gave us so many insights
Speaker 6: over the weekend, and that was one of them on
Speaker 6: how they plan on not having O'tani go wire to
Speaker 6: wire pitching and hitting and nights like tonight. In these circumstances,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers are going to do what's best for the
Speaker 6: long run. In Otani's case.
Speaker 4: You've talked about it before, Dave with Freddie how they
Speaker 4: want to give him days off. He won't take days off.
Speaker 4: In terms of like, do you know where Otani is
Speaker 4: in all of this? Is he alright with it? He
Speaker 4: seems like someone that's comfortable kind of going along with
Speaker 4: what the team thinks is best for him. But what
Speaker 4: are his feelings on not hitting on days that he pitches?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Dave Roberts said, the first time they did this
Speaker 6: during the Mets series, he just gave him a sho
Speaker 6: shoulder shrug and had his eyes wide open when he
Speaker 6: told him he wasn't hitting. So I think he understands.
Speaker 6: He's thirty one years old right now. The recovery time.
Speaker 6: No matter how great of an athlete and how much
Speaker 6: work he puts in, it's got to be tough to
Speaker 6: bounce back. I mean pictures that are not hitting and
Speaker 6: leading off and being that guy get massages the next
Speaker 6: day for four hours. It can't be easy to bounce
Speaker 6: back after making starts the way he's making them. And
Speaker 6: trying to be the guy at the top of the order.
Speaker 6: So I think he understands that and is probably conceding
Speaker 6: because they have to have this open dialogue with him.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers are so good at that. Unlike what we've
Speaker 6: heard out of Boston, where they basically tell you shut
Speaker 6: up and play, the Dodgers are the opposite. And that's
Speaker 6: what players have told me. They don't just tell you
Speaker 6: what they're planning on doing. They actually give you a
Speaker 6: reasonable answer and also have some dialogue with you about
Speaker 6: what they're thinking. So I'm sure the Dodgers have had
Speaker 6: that dialogue with Otani, not just two days ago or
Speaker 6: a week ago, but coming into spring training.
Speaker 3: For sure. That was never my philosophy of management. David
Speaker 3: Vesse joining us right now on the Petrosen Money Show
Speaker 3: on ampires.
Speaker 6: Do an off day show, and that's it, Dave.
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, you had the great interview with him. Seemed
Speaker 3: to mean a lot to him last night getting that hit.
Speaker 3: As you said, not really an emotional guy. But what's
Speaker 3: he been like to deal with? What are your vibes
Speaker 3: about Tucker? Now that we're about a month or so in.
Speaker 6: He's not going to be Justin Turner or on the
Speaker 6: very opposite end of the spectrum, Yasielpuige. He is who
Speaker 6: he is, and that's why the Dodgers were a perfect
Speaker 6: fit for him. He doesn't have to be the guy.
Speaker 6: He doesn't have to be the guy that gets all
Speaker 6: the attention before and after every game. And that's why
Speaker 6: I think he understood that LA this team right now
Speaker 6: is a way better fit for him to just be
Speaker 6: one of the guys than it would be going to
Speaker 6: New York or even getting that long term, ten year
Speaker 6: contract with the Blue Jays. And yeah, look, the swing
Speaker 6: hasn't been there. He's been pressing, it just hasn't been
Speaker 6: there for him like so many other guys. But you
Speaker 6: hope a hit like last night can get him going
Speaker 6: to relax and just be himself. And I firmly believe this,
Speaker 6: and I don't have the numbers at my fingertips, but
Speaker 6: he's looked much better and more comfortable since Dave Roberts
Speaker 6: moved him to the second spot, to the cleanup spot.
Speaker 6: If you go back and look at his best years
Speaker 6: with the Astros, he was hitting fifth, behind guys like Bregman,
Speaker 6: Correa Altuve and Jordan Alvarez. He's not the guy, and
Speaker 6: I think the Dodgers understood that when they signed him.
Speaker 6: And hitting fourth is not hitting ninth. It's still a
Speaker 6: very important spot, but I think he's just more comfortable
Speaker 6: hitting fourth and letting the game breathe and come to
Speaker 6: him more than being the guy hitting right behind Otani.
Speaker 6: So I feel like that is part of all this
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 4: Now Tani scored that game winning run off the game
Speaker 4: winning hit from Tucker back to Otani. Dave, the numbers
Speaker 4: are ridiculus, right, It's an incredibly small sample, only twenty
Speaker 4: four innings pitched, but I mean a point three eight
Speaker 4: er point seventy five whip. I think the batting average
Speaker 4: against is in the one hundreds. Is he pitching as
Speaker 4: well as the numbers say he's pitching. Yes.
Speaker 6: That last start in San Francisco was many say the
Speaker 6: best start he's made as a pitcher in quite some time.
Speaker 6: He was just unbelievably dominant his fastball. He was dotting
Speaker 6: one hundred miles an hour on the corner. He was
Speaker 6: using his sweeper. He didn't mix in his curveball as much.
Speaker 6: But he came into this season similar to his first
Speaker 6: year with the Dodgers with a goal, and it seems
Speaker 6: like he is going all in to try to win
Speaker 6: the cy Young this year because, let's face it, like
Speaker 6: I said's thirty one years old. His arm is the
Speaker 6: healthiest it has been in a few years. This may
Speaker 6: be the best opportunity he has to win the cy.
Speaker 2: Young with the Dodds.
Speaker 6: So I feel like he's pouring a lot more into
Speaker 6: that and it's a balance to readjust to try to
Speaker 6: be as good of a hitter as he has been
Speaker 6: the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: Stacken Trophy, stacks and stacks and stacks. David Vassy the
