Speaker 3: Kevin Durant is out. Why why he's old left ankle sprain.
Speaker 3: That's what they're saying. Matt left ankle. Sprain played seventy
Speaker 3: eight regular season games this year, one of the healthiest
Speaker 3: regular seasons of his career, and then the playoffs come
Speaker 3: around and unfortunately for he and the Rockets, bad timing.
Speaker 3: So Lakers already up to zero duran out tonight. They've
Speaker 3: looked pretty terrible offensively.
Speaker 1: First game he missed was due to a knee, knee,
Speaker 1: and now it's an ankle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that does not seem advantageous.

Speaker 1: you could podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app for
Speaker 1: your smartphone and enjoy it that way, which is very,
Speaker 1: very advantageous, unlike the Rockets and the Lakers situation. Okay,
Speaker 1: his words. The word of the day. Today's word of
Speaker 1: the day is Armenian genocide. It's Armenian Genocide Day here everywhere,
Speaker 1: but in bird Bank, Matt. The flags are flying. The
Speaker 1: machine gun stickers on the back of the cars are there,
Speaker 1: defend Armenia. Back of an Escalade, back of a black Mercedes,
Speaker 1: back of a black Range Rover. I'm black and I'm back.
Speaker 1: And I went to the doghouse the.
Speaker 3: Former Taco bell up the street from the studio there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it doesn't look like a former Taco bell anymore,
Speaker 1: it really did.
Speaker 3: They did a good job with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd really look like a former Taco bell for
Speaker 1: a long time. Like the ones that are like a laundry.
Speaker 3: The mission style.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you go in and you think you're gonna
Speaker 1: like churn some butter and wash some clothes by the river,
Speaker 1: but instead it's a laundry no longer a taco bell
Speaker 1: and some of the old taco bells. That one on
Speaker 1: on what is that Holly? What is that Olive? The
Speaker 1: one on Olive? Where where the doghouse is? It used
Speaker 1: to have like an open flame out front, like a
Speaker 1: fire pit. I don't do that anymore. The taco bells
Speaker 1: used to have like a sweet fire pit out front.
Speaker 3: One thing you need in Burbank in the summer, it's
Speaker 3: a flame to sit by.
Speaker 1: Well, I like to sit by that fire when I
Speaker 1: eat my in fuato to my cinnamon twist. It's like
Speaker 1: at one o'clock in August in right, I like to
Speaker 1: sit down right there at the fire pit. But I
Speaker 1: met the new owner of the u of the doghouse.
Speaker 1: And the new owner of the doghouse on Olive is
Speaker 1: an Armenian gentleman. Okay, yes, And he told me he
Speaker 1: was a listener. He said, I have to ask, are
Speaker 1: you Petros? I said, I am Petros, and I'm here
Speaker 1: all the time. Is this your doghouse? And he said, yes,
Speaker 1: it is my doghouse. And his name was Vaha. I'm
Speaker 1: sure he has a cousin named mesk Bro and Vaha.
Speaker 1: I wished him, you know, I honored the Armenia. I
Speaker 1: didn't say happy Armenian Genocide Day, because that's not right,
Speaker 1: you know, not happy. But I said, you know, my
Speaker 1: thoughts are with your people to and he did the
Speaker 1: heart touch and he said thank you, and then I
Speaker 1: took another bite of my giant bacon breakfast burrito, which
Speaker 1: I did enjoy. So a shout out to the new
Speaker 1: ownership at the doghouse down the street, Matt. We are
Speaker 1: very much involved with the doghouse, and Vaha owns three
Speaker 1: other houses of the dog as well. Okay, they do
Speaker 1: a bang up job with that, they sure do, Matt.
Speaker 1: So a tip of the cap to our Armenian friends.
Speaker 1: Vaha went to Burbank Kai unfortunately, he told me, unlike
Speaker 1: Kate's who went to Burrows, And Vaha said, I went
Speaker 1: to Burbank because that's where all the Armenians go. That is,
Speaker 1: may everybody have a pleasant and reflective Armenian Genocide rememberance day.
Speaker 4: You know, if he owns the doghouse over by the
Speaker 4: Airport of Hollywood Way, that'd be a kind of cool
Speaker 4: little spot for us to go maybe after a show
Speaker 4: to get some beers. They had a really nice little
Speaker 4: beer guard.
Speaker 1: They have nice yeah, they have. I mean I like
Speaker 1: to sit right where they used to have that open
Speaker 1: flame at the old top of Bell But hey, whatever.
Speaker 3: You know, I'll bring your own flame. You know, we
Speaker 3: can bring a hot plate and sit around here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. Next time we brought a lighter around
Speaker 1: here in Burbank.
Speaker 4: Really, I mean not that we get together as a
Speaker 4: show or anything like other shows doing really bond, but
Speaker 4: I'd rather get okay, all.
Speaker 1: Right, here's my number. Number of the day.
Speaker 3: Number of the day is five. I believe we've talked
Speaker 3: about this a little bit, but it's making the news
Speaker 3: now because typically when the NCAA announces they're going to
Speaker 3: do something, it takes about another ten years before they
Speaker 3: actually kind of leak that they're gonna do it, and
Speaker 3: then another ten years before they do it. But this
Speaker 3: new Charlie Baker guy is looking to be known for
Speaker 3: action and not talking. Five and five is what he
Speaker 3: is proposing p and he wants it installed and voted
Speaker 3: upon and having it enacted as soon as June of
Speaker 3: this year. He wants it voted on in less than
Speaker 3: four weeks. And he's saying the way to curb guys
Speaker 3: coming back from the NBA or the G League, or
Speaker 3: are playing professionally abroad. Is with this five and five rule,
Speaker 3: you have a five year age based window to compete
Speaker 3: in college athletics. It begins the moment you graduate high
Speaker 3: school for five years or when you turn eighteen, for
Speaker 3: five years. They want to eliminate traditional red shirt years
Speaker 3: and injury based waivers. Exceptions are expected to be incredibly limited,
Speaker 3: very specific, rare circumstances like military service or maternity leave
Speaker 3: no longer injury based Mormon mission.
Speaker 1: You can be still be twenty six and have a
Speaker 1: bunch of kids and do it.
Speaker 3: I think the mission will work. Yeah, that would line
Speaker 3: That would line up, and it aligns with the recent
Speaker 3: executive order aiming to saturnize eligibility and limit transfer options.
Speaker 3: So he wants this voted on, and I would assume
Speaker 3: the fact that the federal government wants to try to
Speaker 3: get involved in this. The NCAA is trying to nip
Speaker 3: that in the bud and see if they can curb
Speaker 3: that by doing it themselves.
Speaker 1: And how much how much longer are they going to
Speaker 1: be around because the two TV networks are already commiserating
Speaker 1: to cut them out, and the only reason they haven't
Speaker 1: done it already is because they don't get along very
Speaker 1: well either super League. So yeah, it's a complicated situation
Speaker 1: that's going to get more complicated. But the five and
Speaker 1: five thing is a.
Speaker 3: Lot more like nice and easy what I had.
Speaker 1: You know, growing up. If you you know, when I
Speaker 1: transferred from col within the conference, that was terrible. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was so much red tape. It was so daunting
Speaker 1: that it was almost not worth doing at all. And
Speaker 1: that changed a lot. So it looks like they're trying
Speaker 1: to find a happy medium between those two. But that
Speaker 1: seems pretty uh. I heard that yeah a while back,
Speaker 1: and it does seem like a feasible, a feasible solution.
Speaker 3: I just can't believe they're putting a timeline on it.
Speaker 3: Normally they just leak it and then it sits there,
Speaker 3: it gets stale and we move on.
Speaker 1: Well, Matt, look you know, I mean, robot ops are here.
Speaker 1: Things happen faster here. At twenty twenty six, the world
Speaker 1: turns quicker on.
Speaker 3: Its house changing. Baseball can change. We can if us
Speaker 3: can change, and eyes can change, and baseball can change
Speaker 3: certainly anything.
Speaker 1: Kish how is the moment everything changed?
Speaker 3: This is the song of the day.
Speaker 5: Home Cooking is the title of our song of the
Speaker 5: Day from the late great Nigerian drummer and composer Tony Allen,
Speaker 5: because the Petros and Money Show has the recipe for
Speaker 5: cooking up three hours of great sports talk on a
Speaker 5: frog Man Friday, as the Dodgers have returned to the
Speaker 5: friendly confines of Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium for some
Speaker 5: home cooking of their own with that Weirdo Craig Council
Speaker 5: in the Chicago Cubs in town for the weekend and
Speaker 5: Tim Cats will work you up a good ladder, getting
Speaker 5: you ready with your Marongo casino. Dodgers on Deck program
Speaker 5: beginning at six o'clock.
Speaker 1: Keeping thank you right like my wife says. Coming up next,
Speaker 1: Don McClain, we'll talk about the Lakers. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Jam McClain, Petros, Papadacres, Matt Money Spire. This is Petro
Speaker 1: Send Money on demand.
Speaker 3: Petro Some Money, Ham five seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. Dodger Baseball coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3: We'll have your first pitch in a little while. We
Speaker 3: will have Dodgers on deck as it is Dodgers v Cubs,
Speaker 3: coming off a bit of a disappointing road trip three
Speaker 3: and four against the Rockies and the Giants before taking
Speaker 3: on a Cubs team that started out slow but has
Speaker 3: picked it up as of late. And you're gonna want
Speaker 3: to listen to that because it is an Apple TV
Speaker 3: broadcast as it is a Friday night, very.
Speaker 1: Important to have the Petro Send Money show to tell
Speaker 1: you where to watch the game or listen to it.
Speaker 1: We will handle it. And right now it's time for
Speaker 1: Don McClain, our BFF, our number one guy when it
Speaker 1: comes to basketball analysis. He's in the middle of what
Speaker 1: we like to call Camp McClain, which is his draft
Speaker 1: readiness program, run My caa Adventure accounting. You know him
Speaker 1: as the leading scorer in the history of the Pac twelve.
Speaker 1: You see him on the Big Ten network, FS one,
Speaker 1: Fox Pac twelve Network. So the next ass he kisses
Speaker 1: will be the first. It is our friend decorated in
Speaker 1: the NBA Immortal in the Southern California area on your
Speaker 1: Southern California Toyota to Neither celebrity hotline. Don McClain, the
Speaker 1: Baron of Box Canyon, is here. Hello, Don.
Speaker 6: It's interesting Tim didn't say anything. But this is typically,
Speaker 6: at least for the last four or so years, a
Speaker 6: scheduled week off for me on the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not with the way the Lakers. You know,
Speaker 1: the Lakers, they won a couple of games, and Chargers,
Speaker 1: you know, picked late in the draft, you know d
Speaker 1: ND not exactly justin Herbert going in the draft. You know,
Speaker 1: Matt and I aren't out at the Santa Monica Pier
Speaker 1: or the Century City Mall, and we figured, you know,
Speaker 1: we might as well pull the trigger on our friend
Speaker 1: Don McLean and get his thoughts about tonight's You.
Speaker 6: Don't remember why it's normally a scheduled week off for
Speaker 6: me on this show.
Speaker 3: I am I plead ignorance.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, don stage Coach. I'm not going this year.
Speaker 3: The Coach.
Speaker 1: I did think about that. I did. I did think
Speaker 1: about asking you about Stage Coach because my wife mentioned
Speaker 1: the Diplos Honky talk is in the corner at stage
Speaker 1: Coach this year, and they also have Pitbull. I think
Speaker 1: is it stage Coach Walflou.
Speaker 6: Diplo is there every year, and two years ago he
Speaker 6: stayed at the house right next to us.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't look at that little after hours
Speaker 3: for the mcleans.
Speaker 6: I think because we're old and cranky, at least I am.
Speaker 6: I think by the time he gets back from a set,
Speaker 6: we are soundly asleep.
Speaker 3: I prefer to envision you in the driveway when Diplo
Speaker 3: and his crew pull back. Diplo, well done tonight.
Speaker 1: Where is Walshne where's your friend Woolshey fire?
Speaker 3: Raise a glass to you, Diplo? That was epic tonight.
Speaker 1: Where's DJ Snake? I want to congratulate him as well.
Speaker 1: It's a real nineties nostalgia year, Don, They got county crows,
Speaker 1: they got wallflowers. I mean, this is this our year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we just with what I have going on, and
Speaker 6: I've made it work the last few years, but this
Speaker 6: year I just decided that it might be good to
Speaker 6: take a year off and manage what I'm managing instead
Speaker 6: of leaving it to other people for a few days.
Speaker 6: So I'm sure we'll get back to it next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Last year you sent Mark Madson and to deal
Speaker 1: with your draft picks, and they were all acting like dorks,
Speaker 1: all right, Don surprising maybe that the Lakers are up
Speaker 1: to zero against the Rockets, or the Rockets just been
Speaker 1: that bad. What do you think we're looking at here?
Speaker 6: I think it's both. I think the one thing that
Speaker 6: jumps out at me is that I think JJ Reddick's
Speaker 6: really starting to figure this thing out. You know, Look,
Speaker 6: he's obviously understood the game. He played at a high level,
Speaker 6: very cerebral, but that doesn't always translate to being a
Speaker 6: head coach in the NBA. And I think you need
Speaker 6: to learn on the fly as you go, and I
Speaker 6: think he has and I think now you're starting to
Speaker 6: see his chops with the x's and o's. I think
Speaker 6: in the locker room he's great with managing personalities. But
Speaker 6: then you have to give credit to Lebron whether you
Speaker 6: like him or not. Man, this guy is become a chameleon.
Speaker 6: He can play with Doncic and Reeves and let them go,
Speaker 6: but if they're not in, he can take take over.
Speaker 6: And then the last thing is Canard and Smart have
Speaker 6: been unbelievable and that's what you need in the playoffs
Speaker 6: if you're an underdog team is guys to kind of
Speaker 6: go above and beyond what's expected. And that's really what
Speaker 6: Canard and Smart have done.
Speaker 3: What don I don't know if you can't if there's
Speaker 3: a way to explain it, or if it's just collective effort.
Speaker 3: But I mean, the Rockets are shooting forty percent and
Speaker 3: you talked about sort of the coaching of JJ and
Speaker 3: it's not like you didn't have anyone out there. I mean,
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart's former defensive Player of the Year, But when
Speaker 3: you're watching, like, what is it that he's doing, Because
Speaker 3: when you look at the collective, it's not like it's
Speaker 3: a great defensive team.
Speaker 6: No, no, in how do I say this politely, I'm
Speaker 6: still trying to figure out what Houston's trying to do
Speaker 6: on the offensive end. So I'm not discounting what the
Speaker 6: Lakers have done defensively. They've been up and into it
Speaker 6: and engaged. But you said it, Matt. They haven't shown
Speaker 6: that they're a great defensive team all year. They've shown flashes,
Speaker 6: but overall they're not a great defensive team. But Houston
Speaker 6: doesn't have a game plan. I think the game plan
Speaker 6: is Kevin Durant's going to bail us out. Well, he
Speaker 6: didn't play in Game one, and then the Lakers kind
Speaker 6: of new, Okay, they think Kevin Durant's going to bail
Speaker 6: them out, so let's double team them, triple team them,
Speaker 6: and they took him out of the game and the
Speaker 6: Rockets had nothing else he made. Doka has been, you know,
Speaker 6: celebrated as a is a very good head coach, and
Speaker 6: he has been, but it's really because of the defense
Speaker 6: that his teams have played. He's not known as a
Speaker 6: as a great offensive mind. And I think JA and
Speaker 6: that's why I said that about JJ Reddick, Like I
Speaker 6: think JJ sees what they're doing or not trying to do,
Speaker 6: or whatever they're trying to do, and he's taken he's
Speaker 6: taken them out of it. That being said, I fully
Speaker 6: expect the Rockets to win that game tonight and make
Speaker 6: it a series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you talk about just kind of it's it's not
Speaker 3: fun to watch, like their offense is like you said,
Speaker 3: it's hard to figure out what they want to do.
Speaker 3: It's stagnant. It's a lot of late shot clock shots.
Speaker 3: For as long as you played in as long as
Speaker 3: you've been around some of these young players. I'm just
Speaker 3: thinking of like Amen Thompson and Sheng Goon in Esen,
Speaker 3: like it just looks like the moment's too big, Like
Speaker 3: is that common when you kind of get into a
Speaker 3: series like this for guys that are really, really good
Speaker 3: in the regular season to just kind of shrink a
Speaker 3: little in the playoffs.
Speaker 6: Well and read Shepherd too, Matt. And you know, here's
Speaker 6: the hard part. When you get to the playoffs and
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant has earned anything that anyone says about him,
Speaker 6: any award, whatever he gets. But what happens is if
Speaker 6: you're an inexperienced playoff team with inexperienced players, you defer
Speaker 6: to a guy like Kevin Durant and think, oh, he's
Speaker 6: just going to carry us. He'll get forty five tonight
Speaker 6: and we'll win. So you don't really know what to do.
Speaker 6: You don't know. You don't know should I take this shot?
Speaker 6: Should I be aggressive here? Should I not? Should I
Speaker 6: just throw it to KD? And so that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: If you don't have a coach, it's like, hey, guys, look,
Speaker 6: Kevin's gonna get his don't worry about him. Here's what
Speaker 6: you guys need to be doing. And I just don't
Speaker 6: see that in the first two games of this series
Speaker 6: with those other guys.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else going on in the playoffs that
Speaker 1: has shocked you? Don Portland beating the Spurs and Wemby
Speaker 1: balking his head or I mean, is there any way
Speaker 1: to think that the Lakers could get past Okac? I mean,
Speaker 1: what are we doing, don Why we just our wheels talking?
Speaker 1: We should be at stage coach.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Jalen William's hamstring could give him a break.
Speaker 6: I mean, they played most of the season without and
Speaker 6: we're still the best team in the league, so that's
Speaker 6: not really any consolation. But if you get the Thunder
Speaker 6: without him, you'll obviously have a better chance. But you
Speaker 6: never know because sometimes in the playoffs, and we've seen
Speaker 6: this in every sport, you're an underdog coming in, you
Speaker 6: play above expectation, you win a game or two, you
Speaker 6: win a series. Now all of a sudden, you're pretty confident.
Speaker 6: And so I'm not saying they're going to beat the Thunder,
Speaker 6: but I think if they do get past the Rock,
Speaker 6: it's that series will be much better than everyone thought
Speaker 6: it would be a week ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And again, the longer it goes, the more likely
Speaker 3: injuries happen. In the case of the Lakers, the longer
Speaker 3: it goes, the longer it provides an opportunity for Austin
Speaker 3: Reeves and Luca to come back. I know you don't
Speaker 3: want to play doctor or anything, but I'm guessing you've
Speaker 3: probably had an oblique and a hamstring in your career.
Speaker 3: Don do you can you see those guys coming back
Speaker 3: and if they do come back, would they be rusty?
Speaker 3: Would it be hard for them to play at their
Speaker 3: previous levels? You know, if they're coming off those injuries.
Speaker 6: Well, both those guys are so good. I don't think that.
Speaker 6: I think what's going to be interesting to watch is
Speaker 6: as they monitor this series. If it looks like this
Speaker 6: Lakers team is going to beat the Rockets, you won't
Speaker 6: see them. But if we get to you know, it's
Speaker 6: two to two and those looks like it might go seven,
Speaker 6: or we ramping up Reeves and daunch its to maybe
Speaker 6: for a game seven to try and win, that it
Speaker 6: will be interesting. But I do think it being around
Speaker 6: the league for as long as I have been, they
Speaker 6: will determine when those guys are coming back based on need.
Speaker 1: How's camp McClain going, Don.
Speaker 6: It's going good. It's going good. We just finished Week three,
Speaker 6: two and a half weeks. We didn't start on Monday,
Speaker 6: but it's good. We're for at this point in the proceedings,
Speaker 6: We're probably where we should be. I wish we were
Speaker 6: a little above, but we're not, and that's fine. We'll
Speaker 6: get there. The combines in two and a half weeks,
Speaker 6: three weeks, and so we got plenty of time to
Speaker 6: get it going. We'll be back at it tomorrow morning
Speaker 6: and then we'll finish the week.
Speaker 1: Any rumors are there truth to the rumors that there
Speaker 1: was a canoeing accident.
Speaker 6: A canoeing accident in Camp McClain. No. There might have
Speaker 6: been a cold tub accident, but not a canoeing accident.
Speaker 3: Got to get out of there, young man. You can't
Speaker 3: be in there for ten minutes. They appreciate ball song,
Speaker 3: Don die bars frozen like Hans Don not not asking
Speaker 3: to not asking to take a shot or anything here.
Speaker 3: But I think because of the experience, you know, with
Speaker 3: the Lakers, you had Tom Thibodeau kind of orchestrate that
Speaker 3: that two thousand and seven Boston Celtics defense that won
Speaker 3: the title or two thousand and eight I think it
Speaker 3: was that won the title. And then he ends up
Speaker 3: getting his opportunities and does pretty darn good things with
Speaker 3: every stop he's at right, Bulls, Timberwolves, Knicks takes the
Speaker 3: Knicks to the conference finals for the first time in
Speaker 3: like two decades, Mike Brown has not experienced success. Like,
Speaker 3: what what do you think went behind that move to
Speaker 3: move on from a guy that was just in the
Speaker 3: conference finals to somebody who is now really struggling in
Speaker 3: those those prime moments at the end of games to
Speaker 3: try to come up with something to help his team win.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Matt, I don't know. I think you know, the
Speaker 6: expectation level New York is high. Obviously Tom didn't get
Speaker 6: all the way which they thought he would. But I
Speaker 6: also think that they thought that they would have their
Speaker 6: pick of the litter, and it turns out they didn't,
Speaker 6: and so they had the default back to Mike Brown.
Speaker 6: And I think Mike Brown's a good coach. I don't
Speaker 6: think he's a great coach, and I think that's kind
Speaker 6: of proving out right now. And so that's what I
Speaker 6: don't understand about the NBA is that you have guys
Speaker 6: you kind of know who they are, You know what
Speaker 6: their ceiling is as a coach, and where they can
Speaker 6: take a team, whether it's an experienced team not experience.
Speaker 6: You kind of know who they are. And I'm not
Speaker 6: sure why all these franchises keep rehiring these guys when
Speaker 6: you could take a chance on a guy like JJ Reddick,
Speaker 6: because to me, it's pretty clear this Raddick thing is
Speaker 6: going to work out. It is for as long as
Speaker 6: you want. Similar to Steve Kerr, same thing was in broadcasting.
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, he's the head coach, and you know,
Speaker 6: look what he did in Golden State. So and that's
Speaker 6: not to take a shot at Mike Brown. It's just
Speaker 6: I would rather identify somebody who you know, really has
Speaker 6: a huge basketball IQ that maybe doesn't have the experience
Speaker 6: that you might hit the jackpot on like the Lakers did,
Speaker 6: like the Warriors have, instead of recycling a guy who's
Speaker 6: had two or three jobs and really hasn't gotten the
Speaker 6: job done.
Speaker 1: That's why I thought Kenny Smith was gonna get the
Speaker 1: job at North Carolina. I don't know what happened. The
Speaker 1: great Tom McClain, everybody, we love you, Dawn, we appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 1: We hope that you get the job at Northridge.
Speaker 6: No chance, have a good weekend.
Speaker 3: No chance Jazz, better chance of me being at stage
Speaker 3: coach On Sunday, You're.
Speaker 1: Going to see Bret McLean on his shoulders. Well they
Speaker 1: sing round here, all right. We'll be back with more

Speaker 1: He is our Dodger reporter, MLB Network, Spectrum Sports met
Speaker 1: LA back from San Francisco, a leisurely short trip home
Speaker 1: and now the Cubs are in town. Dave loves to
Speaker 1: tickle the Cub fans, kind of like Pete Crow Armstrong
Speaker 1: attacks the Dodger fans. Ah hah, turn about his fair
Speaker 1: play a pouche. David Vasse at the Real Underscore DV
Speaker 1: making some waves on X talking about the Otani rule.
Speaker 1: This right now on the Petros and My show. Dave,
Speaker 1: how are you what's going on there?
Speaker 2: Come on, kid, I'm doing great. Happy to be back
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium. It should be a fun three game series.
Speaker 2: You're right, there's two Cubs that are public enemy number
Speaker 2: one these days, Pee Crow Armstrong, a local kid going
Speaker 2: after Dodger fans before the season, and Craig Council going
Speaker 2: after Shoho Tani and the Otani rule. So the whiny
Speaker 2: Cubs winners at nine in a row are in la.
Speaker 1: Let's do one at a time here, Dave, because you've
Speaker 1: said that Pete Crow Armstrong seems like a nice kid
Speaker 1: and Harvard Westlake and all that, but it seems like
Speaker 1: he just every time he talks about Dodger fans he
Speaker 1: says something dumber. What's going on? Can't somebody tell this
Speaker 1: guy to stop? This isn't good.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love pe Crow Armstrong. I got to know him
Speaker 2: at Justin Turner's golf tournament a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: He's a great kid, very prideful of being from southern California.
Speaker 2: But I feel like in trying to endear himself to
Speaker 2: Chicago fans, he didn't have to kick the Dodger fans
Speaker 2: in the process, And then he was asked to follow
Speaker 2: up again again on it, and I guess because he
Speaker 2: got his extension with the Cubs, he's not going anywhere,
Speaker 2: so he doubled down on all that. But with those
Speaker 2: home run seats extremely close to center field, I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's going to hear about it in these three games.
Speaker 3: He's not the only one that's going to be the
Speaker 3: object of derision. Dave, are you surprised that this Otani
Speaker 3: thing has taken off the way it has after Craig
Speaker 3: Counsel's statement night, Ken Rosenthal doing a long form piece,
Speaker 3: You're engaging with Justin Turner on Twitter like this is
Speaker 3: the crazy. He's a one of one guy who the hell.
Speaker 2: Cares well Christ and foremost Justin Turner engaged in my tweet.
Speaker 1: I did not re engage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a lot of time down there in
Speaker 2: Tijuana for JT to just look at my tweets and
Speaker 2: chime in.
Speaker 1: Corrections and retractions.
Speaker 2: But he brought up a good point. Look, if teams
Speaker 2: feel that it's unfair to have show Halo Tome he
Speaker 2: counted as a fourteenth pitcher, why not just go to
Speaker 2: thirteen pitchers, thirteen position players instead of just you know,
Speaker 2: the way it's laid out right now. But here's my thing,
Speaker 2: And I know some people with the Angels. Mark Goubazaw
Speaker 2: took exception with me using the word languishing in Anaheim,
Speaker 2: but that's exactly what Otani was doing there. And when
Speaker 2: this rule was implemented in twenty twenty one, nobody blinked
Speaker 2: an eye at it. But all of a sudden, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers had won back to back championships. Everybody has a
Speaker 2: lot of jealous and envy out there, and out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: Craig Council, upset about his own pitching injury situation, starts
Speaker 2: to attack the Otani role. You know, if Creig Council
Speaker 2: really wanted to make a point here, he would bring
Speaker 2: up the fact that part of this Otani rule allows
Speaker 2: Otani to stay in the game as a hitter when
Speaker 2: he's removed as a pitcher. If there's any complaint about
Speaker 2: that rule, that's what the complaint should be, not the
Speaker 2: fact that he's designated as a two way play lay.
Speaker 1: Well, but it's not new, right, Like, what's this isn't.
Speaker 2: Not new in there? Since he was languishing in Anaheim.
Speaker 1: And what did Gooby call you or text you or
Speaker 1: tweet you. Did he engage like Turner.
Speaker 2: Derek the Weston engaged on Twitter just by saying my
Speaker 2: full name and three dots and then Gooby, you know,
Speaker 2: we have a very open line of communication. Did not
Speaker 2: appreciate me using and describing Otani's time in Anaheim as
Speaker 2: languishing Why Dave?
Speaker 3: Why the one thing that I didn't know? And I'm
Speaker 3: an idiot, but I don't. I don't know how many
Speaker 3: baseball fans knew this? Why Why does Major League Baseball
Speaker 3: have it set up the way? Because that's what Justin
Speaker 3: Turner kind of wrote back at you, like, why don't
Speaker 3: we just let you build a team home whatever the
Speaker 3: hell you want to build a team, and you know
Speaker 3: you take the risks in the reward that come with
Speaker 3: more pitchers versus less hitters, or more hitters versus less pitchers.
Speaker 2: Well, we saw what happened when Major League Baseball allowed that,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you start having bullpen games,
Speaker 2: and all all of a sudden, the games are taking
Speaker 2: three and a half to four hours long. And that's
Speaker 2: part of the reason why they put in that three
Speaker 2: batter minimum to try to discourage that. But because there
Speaker 2: were more relief pitchers in the bullpen than bench players.
Speaker 2: Teams were starting to, you know, even ignore that type
Speaker 2: of rule, and then they brought in the pitch clock
Speaker 2: as well. So Major League Baseball doesn't want to go
Speaker 2: back to bullpen games where you're using, you know, multiple
Speaker 2: relievers in one inning or in an entire game. So
Speaker 2: that's part of the reason why there's roster constraints.
Speaker 1: David Massey is our guest at the Real Underscore, DV Morango, Casino,
Speaker 1: Dodgers on Deck, Dodger Clubhouse, and Dodger Talk. You will
Speaker 1: hear him on tonight. Does a fabulous.
Speaker 2: PTA is still my guy? PCA is still my guy.
Speaker 1: Global recognized reporter DA David mass continues to protect and
Speaker 1: I don't care. It doesn't matter to me one way
Speaker 1: or the other day, but I.
Speaker 2: Gotta ask I'm protecting him. I would have advised him
Speaker 2: to stay away from that topic, but I'm not in Chicago.
Speaker 1: If I peeled your dead body off of hairs, you're
Speaker 1: riddled with bullets and he's under you, totally pristine. Dave
Speaker 1: the Dalton rushing muscly leg Anger. How much did that go?
Speaker 1: How far did that go? In renewing the Dodger Giants rivalry,
Speaker 1: getting people excited about it, and the teams a little bit.
Speaker 1: They're blood up a little bit.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the first time we've had some boiling
Speaker 2: water between the Dodgers and Giants and smacks months he
Speaker 2: told Madison Bumgardner to get the ball out of the ocean.
Speaker 2: That's the first time we had something like that. And Rushing,
Speaker 2: he's a guy that's not going to shy away from
Speaker 2: using his emotions and having that chip on his shoulder,
Speaker 2: having that edge. And look, I don't think you know,
Speaker 2: Junghu Lee stayed in the game for another inning, so
Speaker 2: it's not like his leg snapped off. He was fine
Speaker 2: at that point in time. And I'm not sure Rushing
Speaker 2: new thought that he was hurt. He reached out to
Speaker 2: Jung Huli to clear the air and just say, hey,
Speaker 2: my emotions got the best of me. I never was
Speaker 2: wishing injury on you. But Dave Roberts said yesterday that
Speaker 2: he believed that Logan Webb threw at Dalton Rushing on purpose,
Speaker 2: and Logan Webb denied it. But you know, Dave and
Speaker 2: everybody else that was watching the game knew that Logan
Speaker 2: Webb had great command, and all of a sudden one
Speaker 2: fires into the leg lower body of Dalton Rushing and
Speaker 2: then which put a little bit more gasoline on the
Speaker 2: Dodger Giant rivalry, with Dalton Rushing being at the center
Speaker 2: of it. There was a double play ground ball and
Speaker 2: Rushing at first base went in hard on Williadomas at
Speaker 2: second base in the sixth inning yesterday, and the Giants
Speaker 2: Louis a Raise spoke out about that. Did not appreciate that,
Speaker 2: but Dave Roberts said, that's just good hard nose baseball.
Speaker 2: But it was a hard slide.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Arise, the only blemish on Glass niles outing
Speaker 3: as far as I ad one walk as well. But Dave,
Speaker 3: what are we seeing here? We've got one hundred pitches
Speaker 3: or more in each and three of his last four starts.
Speaker 3: This was kind of the guy that was being handled
Speaker 3: with kid gloves more than anyone else when he first
Speaker 3: got here.
Speaker 1: What kind of.
Speaker 3: Season should we expect from Glass now? And kind of
Speaker 3: what do you think has led to him being the
Speaker 3: guy that's going the deepest in these games?
Speaker 2: Well, he's considered now the Dodgers' workhorse, right there with
Speaker 2: Yamamoto because he's a guy that will go on six
Speaker 2: days rest, He'll go on five days rest. He may
Speaker 2: even go on four days rest to accommodate show Aotani
Speaker 2: next week. He's just a different guy. I saw it
Speaker 2: in spring training. I told you guys he was a
Speaker 2: different guy. I expected a big season out of him.
Speaker 2: And look, his best year in baseball was his first
Speaker 2: year with the Dodgers, when he made twenty two starts.
Speaker 2: He made the All Star team. But the second half
Speaker 2: kind of got away from him like it has historically
Speaker 2: in his career. There's no doubt he's going to finish
Speaker 2: this first half strong. But now the next hurdle for
Speaker 2: him is to continue in the second half of the season,
Speaker 2: and I actually believe that's going to happen for the
Speaker 2: first time in his career where he can put together
Speaker 2: a full season and make, you know, a career hind
Speaker 2: starts close to thirty.
Speaker 1: Some are crediting the petros And Money Show for injecting
Speaker 1: Glass now with that new found confidence of longevity in games, yeah,
Speaker 1: and perseverance through bad elements like the snow the other
Speaker 1: night in Colorado. Some are crediting the Petrosen Money Show
Speaker 1: just to let you.
Speaker 2: Know, well, usually in those type of conditions, it does
Speaker 2: benefit the pitcher. Just to you know, set the record straight.
Speaker 2: I know you guys want to be fair and balanced.
Speaker 1: I asked about it that day and you said you
Speaker 1: sung a different tune. And if you want me to
Speaker 1: go back and check the table, they.
Speaker 2: Cleared the snow. They cleared the snow. It was the
Speaker 2: perfect conditions. Thirty five degrees takes you.
Speaker 1: Dave, have a great night, and we're gonna look forward
Speaker 1: to listening Dodger baseball versus the Cubs. Maybe the Dodgers
Speaker 1: will get all heated with them and fight with them.
Speaker 2: They about now it is Michael Bush, only cub By like,
Speaker 2: now is Michael Bush?
Speaker 3: What about PCA? You were just you said he was
Speaker 3: a really nice guy.
Speaker 6: Out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's out. You're out, Pca. That's how quick it goes.
Speaker 1: You see that, kids, We're back with more petrons of
Speaker 1: money on half seventy LA Sports. You're over the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Another hour, we will have a keen mezzador, the Chargers
Speaker 1: first round pick coming off the edge out of Miami,
Speaker 1: and we'll have quickets, fun fact and dead and alive,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get you to the game.
