Speaker 3: guests that have a lot to say about the Dodgers

00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: coming up in fifteen minutes, Our very own Rick Monday

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: is going to join us. Rick and Tim Neverett have

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 3: been calling and we'll call every single spring training game

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: on sports net LA and also on the simulcast here

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: on a five to seventy LA Sports. So Rick Monday

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: will stop by. We'll get his thoughts on what he

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: has seen from the Dodgers so far this spring training.

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: And also, in case you weren't aware of this, it

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: is fifty years ago this season that Rick Monday made

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: a great play saving the American flag. Yeah, that's right,

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: fifty years ago. Baseball's Hall of Fame is going to

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: be celebrating it all year long. Major League Baseball is

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: going to be celebrating it, and so will the Dodgers.

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: So Rick Monday is coming up in fifteen minutes, and

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hour, I have lined up

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: a big time Dodger fan, a man that was at

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: Dodgers Stadium for Game four the World Series last year.

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: He was at at Dodger Stadium with his family back

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: in May last year. That is the one and only

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. Derek Carr is going to

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: join us at the bottom of the hour and he

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: has an incredible story to tell about a piece of

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 3: history from Game six of the World Series in Toronto.

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: So looking forward to having Derek Carr on the show.

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: He has a new podcast out with his brother David.

44
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: It comes out every Thursday. It's called home Grown. And

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: the piece of history that he is going to tell

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 3: us about is actually seen in every single episode of Homegrown.

47
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: So there's a little tease to what Derek Carr's got

48
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: up his sleeve. And I first met Derek Carr back

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen when the Dodgers were up in San Francisco.

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: The equipment managers for the Dodgers, Alex Torris and Jerry Turner,

51
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: lined up for me to go out to Raiders camp

52
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: as they were getting ready for their off season training

53
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: program as the Dodgers were coincidentally up there in the

54
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Bay Area, and I got to meet Derek for the

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: first time, met at the time coach John Gruden. So

56
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 3: that was a great experience, and that was the first

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: time that I found out that Bakersfield's own Derek Carr

58
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: is a huge Dodger fan. And from that point on

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: we've kept in some sort of contact. But first time

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: Derek Carr is going to be on Dodger Talk tonight,

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: So Rick Monday is coming up at seven point fifteen.

62
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: Derek carr is coming up at seven thirty tonight, so

63
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: a loaded show. We may or may not have a

64
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: chance to get to your phone calls. We may have

65
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: to push that off until Thursday. I'm sure you're very

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: eager to give me updates about the World Baseball Classic,

67
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: but I'm locked in on Dodger Baseball tonight until eight o'clock.

68
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: And the Dodgers had two important games going on earlier

69
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 3: today as far as the way their season is going

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: to lay out this season. You had Tyler Glass now

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: pitching on the Cactus League field against the Diamondbacks today,

72
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: and you had Rogi Sasaki pitching on the White Sox

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: side in a sort of B game. So both are

74
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: important for different reasons. Glass now, to me, has looked

75
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: the best mentally and physically that I have seen him

76
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers, and that includes the spring training going

77
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: into his really best year in Major League baseball, a

78
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: career high twenty two starts. He made the All Star

79
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: team two years ago. But his head space, like I

80
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: told Petro some money earlier today, just seems to be

81
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: in a better spot than we have seen it since

82
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: he became a Dodger, and a lot of that has

83
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: to do with his success and uncomfortable last year and

84
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: being successful coming out of the bullpen in Game six

85
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: of the World Series. And today, glass Now's really good

86
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: spring continued as the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks. Glass Now

87
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: pitched four to third innings, allowing just one earned run.

88
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: It was actually a leadoff home run to start the game,

89
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: but after that he really settled in and was mowing

90
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: down the Diamondbacks. So it was a good day for

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: glass Now, a good day for the Dodgers as they

92
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: beat Arizona four to one. This morning, I saw Mooki

93
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: Betts take out the plastic arrows that he is borrowing

94
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: from Yoshi Yamamoto. Yeah, in case you missed that, Mookie

95
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 3: Betts is using the darts that Yama Moto uses between

96
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: starts to try to build his core and his throwing

97
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: strength without having a throw a baseball. And then in

98
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: the game he had two hits. So Mookie Betts is

99
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: having a good spring training as well. Le Tucker stayed

100
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: in the game after being hit by a pitch on

101
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: his right leg It looked like his shin caf area,

102
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: but after the game him and Max Munthsey both reassured

103
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: me that he was fined since he stayed in the

104
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: game and scored after being hit by the pitch from

105
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: first base. So Kyle Tucker AOK with all that. Now,

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: Roki Sasaki, like I mentioned, he was having a very

107
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: important game on the backfield, and Andrew Friedman and the

108
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: rest of the Dodger brass was out there watching that

109
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: as Dave Roberts was managing the Cactus League game. And

110
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts said after that Sasaki was thrown about ninety

111
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: eight to one hundred.

112
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: He got very.

113
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: Good positive He got positive reports from Sasaki's game because

114
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: Sasaki pitched four scoreless innings against the White Sox and

115
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: allowed just one hit. But here's the thing, Blake Snell

116
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: is not going to start the season on time. Gavin

117
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: Stone has been and shut down to a certain extent

118
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: because of the shoulder surgery and him pitching in one

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: game this spring and all of a sudden the shoulder barking.

120
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: So the Dodgers need Roki Sasaki. And I even asked

121
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts earlier today, with the number of days off

122
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have to begin the season, do they have

123
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: the luxury of allowing Susak to work out whatever hasn't

124
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: clicked so far this.

125
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: Spring, having Blake you know, late to the season, which

126
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: we know Gavin Stone late to the season, as we know,

127
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: we're gonna need Roki, you know, with the build up,

128
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: you know, I just don't see a world where he

129
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: doesn't break with us as a starter, and so we're

130
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: gonna need those innings. I guess I'm betting on the

131
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: performance to be you know, to continue to trend up,

132
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: to be good enough, and to only get better with

133
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: the talent that he has and the work that he's

134
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: put in. So you know, I think right now he's

135
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: got a I think cup more outings, two, three, more

136
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: outings and then you know, we'll see where we go

137
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: from there. But still my expectation is that that's where

138
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: we're going to be when we start the season.

139
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Dave Roberts really made it clear that they

140
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: need Sasaki. This is not a luxury to have him

141
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: in the starting rotation. There is actually a need with

142
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: the fact that River Ryan is not going to start

143
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: the year with the Dodgers, He's in my opinion, going

144
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: to play the Ema shean role of being a second

145
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: half pitcher or maybe two months in after basically not

146
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: pitching last year and coming back from Tommy John surgery.

147
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: He's looked phenomenal in spring training so far, but still

148
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: the Dodgers want him to get some starts under his

149
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: belt in the minor league season before they call him up.

150
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: So when you look at the Dodgers starting rotation as

151
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: the season begins and opening day is just two weeks

152
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: away on March twenty six, you're looking at Yamamoto, You're

153
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: looking at Otani, You're looking at Glass. Now, Emmittsian made

154
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: his first return back after being set back a couple

155
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: of days with the flu like symptoms. And then Roki Sasaki,

156
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: we're not even talking about Justin Robleski at this point

157
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,359
Speaker 3: in time. I'm not sure where the Dodgers see Robleski

158
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: fitting in on the opening day roster. I know they're

159
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: strying to stretch him out in have ever since Gavin

160
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: Stone got hurt with the shoulder injury or setback with

161
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: the shoulder surgery. So Dave Roberts, as you heard right there,

162
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: he made it very clear the Dodgers are counting on

163
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: Sasaki and they need him to be good. They can't

164
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: just throw him out there and, similar to the beginning

165
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: of last season, have him only go three or four

166
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: innings and put their bullpen in a bad spot not

167
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 3: only for that game but for the subsequent games following.

168
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: So it's vital for Sasaki when he does make the

169
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: star to go out there and be good, not just

170
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: go out there just to say he's a starter. They

171
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: need Roki Sasaki to give them solid, quality starts as

172
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: they go into the season. Now, this was on the

173
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: backfields today. I want to see it on the main

174
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Cactus League fields to be convinced that yeah, okay, he's

175
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 3: turned the corner this spring and is ready to go.

176
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: So that's the latest on the Dodgers starting rotation and

177
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts making it very clear the importance of Roki

178
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: Sasaki as the Dodgers go into the season without Blake

179
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: Snell and Gavin Stone. All right, coming up next on

180
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk Rick Monday, We'll stop by and at the

181
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: bottom of the hour, Derek Carr, the former Raiders quarterback

182
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: now retired or is he? We'll get into all that

183
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: with Derek Carr and most importantly his love for the

184
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: Dodgers as we continue until eight o'clock. Right here on

185
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 3: five seventy LA Sports.

186
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Did you get big league this morning?

187
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: Hey leok who crashed the booth?

188
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Right here?

189
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: Rick Monday.

190
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to see you. Great to see you too.

191
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Can you enjoy your days off? By the way, because

192
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: you left us alone here in the valley of the sun.

193
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: Well, I'd rather be here with you, because, as you say,

194
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: we check reality at the gate, and there was a

195
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: lot of reality last week.

196
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: You come back into town. All of a sudden. It

197
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: rained a little bit last night. We're talking very little.

198
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: It rained just enough to rearrange the dirt that was

199
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: on the car, and that was about it.

200
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: I was in the Dodger Clubhouse this morning and I'm

201
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: trying to go under the radar, Rick, but that's really tough,

202
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: and everybody noticed I was back.

203
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, because we're only sixteen days

204
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: away from opening day. Your impressions thus far, I've been saying,

205
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: is it quite? Frankly, if you look at it, I

206
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: think the fundamentals check that box off. It's still a

207
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: work in progress. You're always working on fundamentals in spring training.

208
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: But I think from a fundamental standpoint, this has been

209
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: a very good spring up. Until this particular point. I'm

210
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: talking about the cutoffs and relays. I'm talking about knowing

211
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: what to do with the baseball before it's to you.

212
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: We've seen two different rundowns have been executed perfectly. The

213
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: ball club. Kind of the tradition of what we've seen

214
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: offensively has been with the ball club that is selective

215
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: and patient at home plate. They have not been expanding

216
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: the strike zone, which is a good thing. Especially early,

217
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: things will become more and more difficult, I think for hitters,

218
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: as the pitchers and the quality of the pitchers they're

219
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: going to see get stretched out even more. I think

220
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: that's going to become more difficult as we get closer

221
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: to actual game days in the regular season. But to

222
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: this point, including the pitching, I think has been spot

223
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: on for this ball club to come into the season

224
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,239
Speaker 1: and get ready to not just defend the World Championship,

225
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: but to capture another one. Rick.

226
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: I think to the way you described your teams and

227
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: it resembles this one where they have fun, but everybody

228
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: to a man came into camp ready for opening day

229
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: back in February, and.

230
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: How much of that goes back to last year? Because

231
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: I said last year, if you thought it was difficult

232
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: to win a World championship, it's even more difficult to

233
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: come back in and defend it and reach out. Obviously,

234
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: you have to get to the postseason begin with. Then

235
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: you have to play. You have to play good enough

236
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: baseball to advance to the biggest stage, that being the

237
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: World Series. That's not an easy road to really travel

238
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: down at all. It's not easy. And I agree with

239
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: what Mookie bed said last year. It irritated some people,

240
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: but he was very, very honest that every time the

241
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Dodgers come into town, it's going to be that team's

242
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: World Series. That was not meant to demean anyone. It

243
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: was meant really to be realistic in the standpoint. Even

244
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: more so this year, teams will publicize, Hey, the defending

245
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: champions are coming into town. That's going to be the billboard,

246
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: that's going to be the sales force. In other ball clubs,

247
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be more and more difficult, and the

248
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: focus of attention is going to be there, no offense

249
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: and butts. That being said, I agree with what you're

250
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: saying because in that locker room coming into spring trending,

251
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: those guys are driven. They've accomplished a lot, but their

252
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: plate's not full yet.

253
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: It feels like they're acting like they lost the World Series.

254
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: And you want that. You want that instead of somebody said, well,

255
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have another mint jewelip, things will work out. Oh,

256
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. No, this not the case. They're going

257
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: after it. Yeah.

258
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And certainly the Dodgers took everybody's best shot last year,

259
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: so this year is going to be no different, like

260
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: you said, And when you look at the Dodgers' top

261
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: to bottom, Kyle Tucker really shores up a hole that

262
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: was in the lineup last year. As great as the

263
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: Dodgers were, don't you feel like Tucker in between Otawni

264
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: and Freeman and Betch just makes them that much more

265
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: of a powerful offense.

266
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because this was a strong offense to begin with.

267
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: But Kyle Tucker is also not a guy that you say, well,

268
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: don't worry about him, let's work to the other guys. No,

269
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to worry about him. On top of it.

270
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Now we're David where Dave Roberts has him put in

271
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: the lineup. As far as the positioning, we're gonna find out.

272
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman said he's been told he will batter the

273
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: number four spot when the season gets un away. He's

274
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: trying to get a bats.

275
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: Now.

276
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: We've seen him in the number two spot, we've seen

277
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: him three, we've seen him four. That's not the big issue,

278
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: but is there a soft spot in the Dodger lineup? Now?

279
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: Occasionally it's going to be. I think one other thing

280
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: we can talk about is the support staff, because you're

281
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: not going to have the same eight horses, the defensive players,

282
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: the same eight guys that are going to be healthy

283
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: the entirety of the season. You're not going to have

284
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: them all play one hundred and sixty two games during

285
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: the regular season. So what about the support staff. The

286
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: depth that we have seen so far in spring trending,

287
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: in my estimation, is exceptionally strong. The guys can play

288
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: multiple positions, for example, second base position. Right now, with

289
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond on the men with the ankle surgery not

290
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: going to be ready for opening day, you've got three

291
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: guys at second base that or say, hey, I'm kind

292
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: of earning it because they're playing very well. That's a

293
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: good situation to really be involved with because you have

294
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: support staff that's going to be there. It's going to

295
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: be more than a twenty six man roster that's going

296
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: to hopefully get to the World Series and maybe hopefully

297
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: win another World Championship. It is going to take the

298
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: entire forty man roster. We saw that over the last

299
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: two years. There are going to be injuries. There's going

300
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: to be guys that need a little rest here and there.

301
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: You go into this whole thing. This is an organization.

302
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: It's not just twenty six guys on the team. He

303
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: had no doubt.

304
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: Rick Monday is our guest, and he talked about me

305
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: taking a week off. Rick Monday's been busy NonStop since

306
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: Game seven of the World Series. And this year is

307
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: a special year for Rick Monday and the country because

308
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: it's the fiftieth anniversary of you saving the flag. And

309
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: I feel like you may have had as busy of

310
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: an off season as any of these World champion Dodgers.

311
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Had, I said waias my wife Barbara and I have

312
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: been very busy, and it's going to pick up again.

313
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: In May. We will go back to Cooperstown to Hall

314
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: of Fame. We're going to have something there. We'll take

315
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: the flag back there with us, and then go back

316
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: again in July. The Hall of Fame inductions and the

317
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: celebration right there. So it's going to be a busy deal.

318
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm proud of the fact that it has been recognized,

319
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: not from what I did recognize, but I think the

320
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: patriotism in the fact that this is our two hundred

321
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary that's coming up. That happens to be

322
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary of the flag incint it took place.

323
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: But you know how I feel about the fact, have

324
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: you been in the Marine Corps reserves for six years?

325
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: I believe strongly in this country, and I believe very

326
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: strongly in our military and their families. Their families cannot

327
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: be overlooked, either because they go through a lot in

328
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: deployment and also the amount of time that our military

329
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: has to put in. I think we should all be

330
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: very proud. And this is a time that is kind

331
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: of challenging for us and people around the world. It's

332
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: a wonderful time for us all to kind of join

333
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: arms or join hands and move forward. Now I don't

334
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: mean to sound corny about it at all. This is

335
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: a great game of baseball. One of the things that's

336
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: really nice is at Dodger Stadium every night, We've got

337
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: fifty thousand people to come in, and it's like a

338
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: chorus of Hey, let's watch this great game of baseball,

339
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully we all kind of bond a little bit together,

340
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: because we're going to need that as we go along.

341
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: It's been two hundred and fifty years. What is it

342
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: going to be in year five hundred from now? You know,

343
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: we're only a snippet and the time capsule, and we

344
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: need to make sure that we capture things very well

345
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: for our portion of that time capsule.

346
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: How does it make you feel that the Baseball Hall

347
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: of Fame wants to honor and celebrate the great play

348
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 3: Rick Monday made fifty years ago?

349
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: I happen to be close enough to do something about it,

350
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: and I still get letters about it every week, people

351
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: that were not even born at that particular time. I'm

352
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: happy to have been part of it. You know. I

353
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: just it's not difficult to do what you think is right,

354
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: And fifty years ago I thought that it was right

355
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: to not have that stand by and watch what represents

356
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: the rights and freedoms for all of us. Now, how

357
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: we handle that and protect that, that's up to us.

358
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: But to protect the rights and freedoms. There's a lot

359
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: of people, David Bassey, that had played the ultimate price

360
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: that they had paid in order to protect those rights

361
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: and freedoms. Let me tell you a quick story. At

362
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Walter Reed Army Medical Center a number of years ago,

363
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: my wife, Barbary and I were there and we brought

364
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: the flag with us, and we happen to be with

365
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: the physician that was just absolutely marvelous right there at

366
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: the hospital, and we met a young lieutenant that had

367
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: been injured only about eight days before we were there

368
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: and he was airlifted and was back and he was

369
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: doing well. But we went and we were able to

370
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: meet him and talk to him and he said, I

371
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: understand you have the flag that you took away from

372
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: those individuals number of years ago with you. He said yes,

373
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: And Barbara, he said, would you like to have a

374
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: photo taken us? Yes? I would. And about that time

375
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: a piece of shrapnel began to come up on his

376
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: hand and he said to my wife, Barbara, you need

377
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: to take this flag. You need to take this flag.

378
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: And he said, lieutenant, no, it's fine. If you happen

379
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: to bleed on it. He goes, no, ma'am, it's not

380
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: I will die protecting the rights and freedoms of that flag.

381
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: I will not bleed on it. And he handed the

382
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: flag back. To this day, I tell the story and

383
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: I begin to tear up, because that's the attitude of

384
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: our military, and we're very thankful for each and every

385
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: one of them to protect us. Whether we see it,

386
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 1: we better appreciate it and move forward.

387
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought, these many years later that God

388
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: puts you in that position because you were the right

389
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: guy at the right time and the right guy to

390
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: keep this going.

391
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: I just happened to be there. On a lighter side

392
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: of it. I was also saying, tell you know, the

393
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: last thing I wanted to do, was in retrospect, was

394
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: to stand there and watch them burn the flag and

395
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: then have one of my former drill instructors from the

396
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: Marine Corps come up and say, Marine, why did you

397
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: stand there and let them do that? That was the

398
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: one thing that woke me up in a cold sweat

399
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: one night. What would have happened if, well, we have

400
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: that flag and very proudly be able to do some

401
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: things with it. That has kind of captured some attention

402
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: for those that really need. You know, my wife went

403
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: cross country with this flag a number of years ago

404
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: from our home in Vero Beach, Florida and Memorial Island

405
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: with a group called the Patriogard Riders. Their mode of

406
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: transportation is about ninety five percent motorcycles. And she went

407
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: with him. Yes, we had our vehicle went as well

408
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: that they referred to as a cage. But they went

409
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: fourteen states in fourteen days, and at every state line

410
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: they had a handoff ceremony to the next group of

411
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: Patrioguard writers. And also as they went through these towns,

412
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, the welcome to and thanks for coming. We're

413
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: only about ten feet apart. I mean, very small towns.

414
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: But they tried to stop at every veterans hospital that

415
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: they could. And I remember Barbary called me one night

416
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: and says, we need to get involved. We need to

417
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: help our veterans, and we need to improve what's going

418
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: on in our veterans hospitals. And that's something that we

419
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: have looked at. It was something that we have been

420
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: able to get involved with. But they went fourteen states

421
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: fourteen days, brought the flag back to Dodger Stadium for

422
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: the very first time, and it culminated that trip from

423
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: a letter that we got from a pilot, helicopter pilot,

424
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: MEDEVAC pilot who flew over Baghdad with the folded flag

425
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: on the glare shield of his chopper for a twenty

426
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: four hour period, and the letter was, along with the flag,

427
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: can you get this flag to a park? I believe

428
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: it was in moderate park, a park where this young

429
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: man now a helicopter pilot in a war in a

430
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: foreign country. But I want to know if we could

431
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: get it to park where he learned how to play

432
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: baseball from little and on up and have them fly

433
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: this flag on the flagpole there. So she contacted the

434
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: patriogard writers and they did not know until that morning

435
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: that she arrived in Memorial Island in Vero Beach, Florida,

436
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: that she was also going to bring the flag that

437
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: I took away from the guys, you know, fifty years ago.

438
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: And that was quite a trip.

439
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 3: That's amazing, amazing stories before I let you go, and

440
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: you're the Ironman of Dodger broadcasters. After you saved the

441
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: flag in nineteen seventy six wearing a Cub's uniform, you

442
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: became a Dodger and your first spring training was in

443
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy seven with the Dodgers. Your first spring training

444
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: as a Dodger was nineteen seventy seven, right, What do

445
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: you remember the most about being at Dodger Town in

446
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: Vero Beach for the first time wearing that uniform.

447
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: It's something that I embraced because growing up in Santa

448
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: Monica and the Dodgers moving out from Brooklyn. You know,

449
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: I would look at the telecast and I found out

450
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: a little bit about this this city, Vero Beach, in

451
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about Dodger Town, because they would run

452
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: highlights of different things, and you know, watching and listening

453
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: to Vince Cully and Jerry Doggett in either the radio

454
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: broadcast hand or the television telecast. Being able to do that,

455
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I was somewhat familiar with it. But it was also

456
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda's first full year as the manager, nineteen seventy seven.

457
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: I have a wonderful photo. It was taken that year

458
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: as Tommy and I were walking away from the cameraman

459
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: and I've got my arm around him because Tommy and

460
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: we were in uniform. And Tommy tried to sign me

461
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: out of Santa Monica High School and had my mother

462
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: and I to dinner one night, and at dinner, Tommy,

463
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: who was a scout at the time, not a manager,

464
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: put a contract in front of my mother, a single parent,

465
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: and she had pen in hand. She started to sign

466
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: and then put the pin down, said no, Rick needs

467
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: to go to college. If he gets hurt or can't

468
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: make it, he has something to fall back upon. Tommy

469
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: took the contract back, crossed out the number, put a

470
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: bigger number, had it in front of my mom should

471
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: pick up the pin the second time and put it down.

472
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: The second time, Tommy took the contract back again, crossed

473
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: out the number, and put numbers in that my mother

474
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: would have to work for years in order to equal

475
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: that number. And she had pen in hand the third

476
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: time and put it down yet again and said, no,

477
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give away my son to this

478
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: area right here, and I'm seventeen, just out of high school.

479
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Said if he gets hurt or can't make it, he

480
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: needs to have something to fall back upon. He's going

481
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: to go to college. So Tommy was telling me on

482
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: that photo that we're both walking away from the cameraman.

483
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: He goes, you know, your mom had the greatest negotiating

484
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: tactics going of all the people that I signed. I said, Tommy,

485
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: you don't get it. He goes. I don't get what

486
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: he goes. My mom was not negotiating. My mom was

487
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: trying to protect me.

488
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. We can all appreciate that Rick. Rick Monday

Speaker 1: during the regular season, you do a heck of a job.

499
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: There's nobody else in this business that has the close

500
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: relationships to the players of the organization than you do.

501
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: David Besse, and for all of us around here, we

502
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: understand how that works. They joke with you, you joke

503
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: with them, but it's a bond, and you have earned

504
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: that respect and that trust and that's not easy.

505
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,560

512
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 3: if Rick Monday is a big football fan, but a

513
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: big Dodger fan is Derek Carr, the former Raiders quarterback,

514
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,359

Speaker 3: Great to have Rick Monday on in our last segment.

00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: The fiftieth anniversary of Rick saving the flag at Dodgers Stadium,

518
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,879

Speaker 3: Hall of Fame and at Dodgers Stadium all season long.

520
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: And a guy that I'm sure is very familiar with

521
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: Rick Monday. I know he was an eleven year NFL quarterback,

522
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 3: but Bakersfield used to be the single a affiliate of

523
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: the LA Dodgers. They had the Brooklyn b for the

524
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: Bakersfield Dodgers back in the day. He is the most

525
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: famous Raider quarterback since and success well since Rich Gannon.

526
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,800

531
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, David, thank you so much. You have no

532
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 5: idea how much it means to me to be able

533
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 5: to be on here with you. So I appreciate you.

534
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: I know, when I came to Raider camp and I

535
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 3: met you for the first time in twenty nineteen, I

536
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: was blown away. How big of a Dodger fan you were.

537
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: How did this all start? Did it start with the

538
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: Bakersfield Dodgers or they were You had to choose either

539
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: Giants or Dodgers, and you went the right way.

540
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. No, we had the Bakersfield Dodgers, which

541
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 5: was awesome because we could go there, Sam Land and

542
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: go to these things and check them out and all

543
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 5: that stuff. Growing up was so cool. My brothers, that's

544
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 5: what they grew up doing, you know. And then my

545
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 5: dad and our little church group for our youth where

546
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 5: they would take like a trip every year down to

547
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 5: Dodger Stadium and watch a game. So I got to see,

548
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 5: you know, Griffy go ho for five and got to

549
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 5: see all him strike out three or four times, and

550
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: it was great because as a Dodger fan, and that's

551
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 5: what you want to see. And so I got to

552
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 5: experience that and do all those things as a kid.

553
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 5: And so I think that we chose the right path

554
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 5: because being in the Central Valley, you go one way

555
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 5: or the other. And I think that we made the

556
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 5: right choice.

557
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: I would say, so, no doubt about it. So was

558
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: that Ken Griffy Junior with the Reds that you saw

559
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 3: play at Dodger Stadium?

560
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 6: No, that was Mariners.

561
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: We got to see them with the Mariners.

562
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

563
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was awesome.

564
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is certainly a great memory to have. And

565
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: speaking of memories, everybody has a story, Derek about where

566
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: they were watching Game seven of the World Series. Where

567
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: were you watching Game seven of the World Series.

568
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that's a great question. We sold me

569
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 5: and my boy as we were actually at our house

570
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 5: watching and just going absolutely bonkers in our living room.

571
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 5: And I think our neighbors thought something was wrong until

572
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: they realized, oh, yes, they are not Giant fans, they

573
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 5: are Dodger fans, and so uh, it just we couldn't

574
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 5: believe it. Just the turn of events the home run,

575
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: then you get the catch, and it's just like we

576
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 5: just couldn't believe what was happening. So uh it was.

577
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 5: It was a good time in our house, that's for sure.

578
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: Okay, the catches when Pa haz ran over t K Hernandez,

579
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: I mean, that was one of many plays the Dodgers

580
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: could have lost the world series from you watching on Fox?

581
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: Could you tell that Pa has made the catcher? Did

582
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: you believe that it dropped?

583
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 6: No?

584
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 5: I had Honestly, I had no idea because I saw him,

585
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 5: I saw him collide, key K goes down, and then

586
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 5: I saw I saw Keyk's reaction, and so I'm like, oh.

587
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 6: Dang, it's over. And then Paz goes.

588
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: Jogging off like no, bro, like I got.

589
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: It, Like we're so we were on our little group

590
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 5: chat with me and my brothers just going absolutely crazy.

591
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 5: But uh, but yeah, that's one of the moments right there.

592
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure key K thought it was over too

593
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 5: at that moment.

594
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he realized. Pa Haskotta, You're right,

595
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: he didn't realize it. And then you know, Derek the

596
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: biggest play to me, obviously, the home runs were huge

597
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: but how about in field in ninth inning. Yeah, Miguel

598
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: Rojas is able to make that incredible play and Will

599
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: Smith's foot comes off and then goes back on that.

600
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 5: So that's when we It was a great opportunity for

601
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 5: me to tell my boys, like, you know, they they

602
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: want to play baseball, football, basketball, They're doing all these things,

603
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: and I's like, guys, this is why every detail matters,

604
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 5: every rep, every practice. Can you you know, Coach Gruden

605
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 5: would always tell me you got to get quicker mentally, physically,

606
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 5: body quicker. Can you get the ball out of your

607
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 5: hand even quicker? And I say, this is just a

608
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: great display of all that hard work, all that dedication

609
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 5: coming down to inches. You know, you know, having the

610
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 5: right fundamentals, you know, the right footwork, the right h

611
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 5: you know, the right quick release and and all those things.

612
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: So it was a great opportunity for me to share

613
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: by boys, like on the biggest stage, like all that

614
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: stuff doesn't change. And even at that moment, I mean,

615
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: you were inches away from obviously that being a disaster,

616
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 5: but we end up making that play because of not

617
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 5: not because they made that play in that moment, because

618
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 5: of the work they did before. So It's actually a

619
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 5: really cool lesson for my boys, and they were all

620
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 5: into it.

621
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, being out here at spring training. Can you believe

622
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: after those plays in the World Series, I'm watching Mookie Beds,

623
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: Miguel Rojas, Munsey and Freddie working on those type of

624
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: plays and working on the base running. So it is repetition.

625
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: Is that similar to what happens in the NFL? Is

626
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 3: repetition as big as it is in baseball?

627
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what's going through their minds. And obviously

628
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 5: they're champions. Man, they're there and they're pros, pros. You know,

629
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 5: they're obviously a great collection of talent. There's no denying that.

630
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 5: But when you get a great clicktion of talent that

631
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 5: works the way that they do, and you're saying, man,

632
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: they're working on throwing infield, you know, taking grounders, base running,

633
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 5: making sure my foot is hitting in the right place,

634
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 5: because it really can be as they know, a game

635
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 5: of inches that costs everything. And so for us, you know,

636
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 5: you treat every rep as if it is Game seven,

637
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 5: or in our case, you treat it as if it's

638
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 5: the last drive of the Super Bowl. How's my footwork

639
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 5: going to be?

640
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: Am?

641
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: I gonna you know, how quick am I going to

642
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: get this ball out?

643
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 6: How quick can I you know, make that release? How

644
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 6: quick can I get it out of my hand? And

645
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 6: the things that.

646
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 5: I saw when you know, a lot of guys want

647
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 5: to play professionally and it's awesome and to dream and

648
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 5: all those things. But I had a coach tell me

649
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 5: one time it is those details that turn this thing

650
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 5: into a career or it just being a part time

651
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: job for some guys, and it really stuck with me.

652
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 5: So man I I it doesn't surprise me that they're

653
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 5: working on those little things because that's that's what's given

654
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: them such a long career. They keep grinding and thinking

655
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 5: that they can get better, get quicker, get faster. You know,

656
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 5: you hear Mookie throwing javelins now like different things, throwing

657
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: it one hundred across the diamond and things like that.

658
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 5: You know, they're trying to get better all the time.

659
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 5: And this is coming from guys that are champions. But

660
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: they understand what it means to be a pro, and

661
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 5: that means it's never ending, you know, self improvement, self improvement,

662
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 5: and that's obviously on display with those guys.

663
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: Derek Carr is our guest the former Raiders quarterback is

664
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: joining us. He's got a great podcast with his brother David, Homegrown.

665
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: It drops every Thursday. Now, I got word Derek speaking

666
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: of the World Series. You can tell me if this

667
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 3: is true or not. But you received as a gift

668
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 3: second base from Game six of the World Series. Is

669
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: that the second base from this past World Series? You

670
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 3: have that in your office?

671
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we do.

672
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 6: We have it in our office.

673
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 5: And we put it right in the door where we

674
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 5: do our homegrown deal. And if you want to come

675
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 5: in our office, you have to round second. You have

676
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 5: to catch the face to come in. So it's awesome.

677
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: That is amazing considering that's how Game six ended with

678
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 3: Key k Yes doubling up Barger at second base. How

679
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 3: did you get that base?

680
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 5: Honestly, we still don't have I don't even know if

681
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 5: I have the real story yet. But a business partner

682
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 5: of ours was like, man, I just wanted to get

683
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 5: you guys something nice. And he said, I had no

684
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 5: clue what to get you. So I thought Dodgers and

685
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 5: he said I had I reached out and had someone

686
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 5: and whatever, and he just went down this rabbit hole

687
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 5: and sure enough it pops up in our office, and

688
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: it's it's I mean, it's got the it's got the

689
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 5: dirt marks, it's got the cleat marks, it's got everything.

690
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 5: And I was like, dude, this is like such a

691
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 5: precious thing to some Dodger fans obviously.

692
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: Uh.

693
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 5: For that moment to end right there at second base

694
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 5: and now it's sitting here in our office in Presno, California.

695
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: Is pretty cool.

696
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: Derek. When you have a piece of I guess some

697
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 3: people consider it memorabilia. Don't you view that more as

698
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: a piece of sports history, Dodgery history, than you know, memorabilia.

699
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 5: Oh, it's it's to me. It just tells the story.

700
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 5: And it's so cool for for my boys that are

701
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 5: Dodger fans and they're growing up and you know, loving baseball.

702
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 5: You know, thirty years from now, they'll be able to

703
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 5: point back and show somebody, no, this is from that

704
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 5: game where they threw it to second base and doubled

705
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 5: them up, and and what a cool story that'll be

706
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 5: for you know, Dave and I's kids, you know, someday

707
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 5: and for us to share. And it's and that's the

708
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 5: best part about it. It's nothing that I want to

709
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 5: It will never be something that you want to sell

710
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 5: or do something with. It's something that you keep, and

711
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 5: it's just so cool to have a piece of Dodger history,

712
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 5: especially growing up, you know, being huge Dodger fans.

713
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: We saw each other last May at Dodger Stadium. You

714
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: brought your beautiful family out. Is there any desire to

715
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: try to get Miguel Rojas or t k Hernandez to

716
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: sign that Game six second base bag?

717
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

718
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely, So we've talked about that. It's like, dang, you know,

719
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 5: they're getting ready for a game. We can't when is

720
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 5: the right moment to ever bring it? You know, when

721
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 5: when is those things? So hopefully hopefully one day, yeah,

722
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 5: we'll be able to do that, but.

723
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 6: It's definitely, you know, just being in their shoes.

724
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 5: At some point in our life, we were like, probably

725
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 5: not on game day, you know, it might not be

726
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 5: the best time, but for sure that would be fantastic

727
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 5: because we have you know, we got we're coming to

728
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 5: ten games this year. Right came to the World Series,

729
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 5: so we get to come to ten more this year.

730
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 5: So I can't wait. Man, it's gonna be awesome.

731
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 3: I am going to tell Miguil Rojas and Key k

732
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: Hernandez that Derek Carr has that second base bag. I

733
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: am going to make this happen for you.

734
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 5: Oh you're the best that would Now, that would be awesome.

735
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: That would be fantastic. Now we won't be able to

736
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 5: step on it anymore, but that's okay.

737
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, tell the kids lay off the bag once it's signed.

738
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 6: That's right, that's exactly right.

739
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 3: Okay. So you just mentioned like the pregame warm up,

740
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 3: you saw batting practice guys come over, talk to the kids,

741
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: take pictures as you were getting ready for a big

742
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 3: Raider game. Could you ever do something like that? How

743
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 3: different is you know, preparing hour before kick off compared

744
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 3: to an hour before first pitch at Dodger Stadium.

745
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the that was. So that's crazy to me

746
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 5: because I was like, man, I don't know, you know,

747
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 5: I tried to be gracious.

748
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 6: I'll say this, I try to be grace. If I

749
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 6: saw a kid, obviously I had high five of them

750
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 6: or you know, say what's up to them. But to

751
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 6: stand there and have a conversation and take.

752
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 5: The time and all, it just meant so much to me,

753
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 5: just you know, as a dad, Like it's cool obviously,

754
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 5: you know, knowing some of these guys and being friends

755
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 5: with some of them, but just as a dad that

756
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 5: they would take the time, you know, to you know,

757
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 5: sign some baseballs for my kid. You know, Tanner brought

758
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 5: out a whole bunch of baseballs for my boys and

759
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 5: signed them for them, and and all those things, and

760
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 5: Hisung Kim, you know, saying hi to my son and

761
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: these guys coming over like it. Just just as a dad,

762
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 5: it means the world. And then it really puts in perspective,

763
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 5: you know, the impact that you know, I was able to.

764
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: Have in my time playing.

765
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 5: You know, they just just saying hi to kid, high

766
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 5: five of them, throwing them your wristband after a game

767
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 5: or a towel or things like that. Just as a

768
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 5: parent man, you really do appreciate when the pros, you know,

769
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 5: go out of their way to do things like that.

770
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 5: And I think that was the biggest thing to me

771
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 5: is these guys are obviously great baseball players, but they're

772
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 5: really great human beings and that was really cool.

773
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: Derek Carr is our guest, and like I said, Derek,

774
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: I'm a big Raider fan. It was a thrill for

775
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: me to come to camp. A lot of Dodger fans

776
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 3: are huge Raider fans. So if they draft Mendoza, Derek,

777
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 3: you meant a lot to a lot of fans and

778
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: to the organization. You left it all out on the field.

779
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: How much would you love if the Raiders do what

780
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 3: the Dodgers do, for instance, and bring back guys like

781
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: Ethier and Utley and Oral Herscheizer. How would you feel

782
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: if the Raiders? Do you have a desire if the

783
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: Raiders asked you to, you know, kind of mentor Mendoza

784
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 3: in training camp.

785
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I have told I've told my agent.

786
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 5: I've told people. I was like, man, if they ever

787
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 5: you know, if they ever want me to, you know,

788
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 5: come out there and help him in any way. Now,

789
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: they got so many great coaches and they got there

790
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 5: and all those things.

791
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 6: But I do know that building.

792
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 5: I do know our fan base. I do know what

793
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 5: you know, know what it means to be a Raider

794
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 5: and if that's something that you know, mister Davis wanted

795
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 5: and planting those guys, you know, just to spend some

796
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 5: time with him and just someone would it's like to

797
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 5: be a pro. You know, I tell people I'm the

798
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 5: most upgraded version of you know, of the iPhone. You know,

799
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 5: I just got out of it.

800
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 6: So I get it.

801
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 5: You know, I've seen the coverages, I know these things,

802
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 5: and so if that's something that they would like, if

803
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 5: that's something that gives him some value, I would absolutely

804
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 5: be willing to help him in any.

805
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 3: Way, maybe be his backup quarterback, or maybe be the guy.

806
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I saw something where I

807
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: guess on your podcast Homegrown. I don't know if you

808
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: were having a stream of consciousness talking to yourself, but

809
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 3: I guess you you threw it out there that maybe

810
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: you're you're contemplating a comeback.

811
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's funny, as I said eight months ago,

812
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 5: if I was healthy and there's a chance to win

813
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 5: a championship, I think any right minded quarterback or professional

814
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 5: would would reconsider right. And that's exactly what I said

815
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 5: eight months ago. I said it again a few months,

816
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 5: you know, a few weeks ago, and everyone blew it

817
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: up saying I'm coming back, And I was like, guys, my,

818
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: I'm playing golf, you know, and if I'm training and

819
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 5: i'm I'm I'm ready and I'm watching Dodger games.

820
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, baby, if.

821
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 5: That opportunity, if that opportunity came up, I would consider it,

822
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 5: you know, I would definitely say it's a maybe. But

823
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 5: for right now, I'm enjoying my family. Like I don't

824
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 5: need to play football, you know. I I love my

825
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 5: wife way too much to just go play just to.

826
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: Play, you know.

827
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 6: So I am.

828
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 5: I am good watching my kids and and and pouring

829
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 5: into their lives. But if that's something that that ever

830
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 5: came up, we'd have to we'd have to have a conversation,

831
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 5: that's for sure.

832
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 3: Derek, thank you so much for your time. I've got

833
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 3: to ask you one more thing. Since you brought up

834
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 3: enjoying playing golf, being with your family, Clayton Kershaw was

835
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 3: doing all that until the World Baseball Classic called him

836
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,959
Speaker 3: to pitch for Team USA. Being a big Dodger fan,

837
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 3: Kersh has been a Dodger your entire fandom. Basically, what

838
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 3: does he mean to you as a Dodger fan and

839
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 3: as a as a competitor?

840
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 5: You know, just just watching Clayton over the years, and

841
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 5: it's crazy, you know, to see the gray hairs in

842
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 5: my beard and to think I've been watching him this

843
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 5: whole time, you know, so I've seen I've seen the

844
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 5: whole career, and uh, you know, it's funny because you know,

845
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 5: I watch him and you just respect the competitor. You

846
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 5: respect his talents. You know that curve ball man, it's

847
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 5: so fun to watch, right, you know, you know the

848
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 5: breaking pitches that guys are just falling on their knees

849
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 5: and it's you. You got all these great and then

850
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 5: he's sneaking a high heater and they couldn't catch it.

851
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: You know, just you remember these moments, uh, you know, definitively.

852
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 5: But then you get into the person, and I think

853
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 5: we could all agree he's an even better person that

854
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 5: he is than he is a you know, a pitcher

855
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 5: and a baseball player. And and that's saying a lot obviously.

856
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 5: So I appreciate him and what he did for the

857
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 5: Dodgers and what he did for baseball, but more importantly,

858
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 5: I appreciate who he is as a person, because he's

859
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 5: someone I can you know, show my kids.

860
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 6: You know, hey, he's a great guy to watch his highlights,

861
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 6: to root.

862
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: For and and all those things and whatever he does

863
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 5: in Linch. So uh, you know, I pray for his

864
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 5: you know, retirement. It's hard watch him, but I'm sure

865
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 5: he's like me. He'll it'll be hard to watch, but

866
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 5: he'll also enjoy his body feeling a little bit better.

867
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: Hey, I think we can all agree that what you

868
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: described us Kershaw off the field is what people say

869
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 3: about Derek Carr off the field, and anybody that looked

870
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 3: up to you can be very safe and knowing that

871
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 3: you live your life the right way. And it's been

872
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 3: a pleasure to kind of get to know you. And

873
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: when I get Rojas and Keyga to sign that second

874
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 3: base bag, it's going to be on your side. Tell David,

875
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: it's not on his side of the bag, all right,

876
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 3: that's on your side of that second.

877
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Base absolutely no.

878
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 5: I appreciate you. Hey, David, you're the best man. Thank

879
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 5: you so much, and go Dodgers.

880
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: Hey, go Dodgers. And the three PETA is on Derek Carr.

881

00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: You have it going all right?

886

Speaker 3: There, he goes Derek Carr, former Raiders quarterback, former Saints quarterback,

887
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 3: and one thing that is not former is his love

888
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers. And after the game today, I did

889
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 3: tell Miguel Rojas that Derek Carr does have that second

890
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 3: base bag from Game six, and he said, hey, tell him,

891
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 3: tell him to bring it to Dodger Stadium. I'll sign

892
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 3: it for him. So there you go. We made magic

893
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,200
