Speaker 3: father for me, but not that bad. It's not far No.
Speaker 2: It is not you know the ten East sniffing that,
Speaker 2: you know sixty Freeway. It is not. Uh well, I
Speaker 2: guess Burbank's a little bit different. We tried that, and
Speaker 2: I think our illegal parking, our jaywalking, yeah, has has
Speaker 2: put Burbank to bed. But Critos is one of our
Speaker 2: favorite spots, and we always get a great turnout.
Speaker 3: It's one of the most popular BJ's in southern California,
Speaker 3: that particular BJS.
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, I don't know if Frank is still
Speaker 2: I would assume he's still in the city council. I
Speaker 2: would imagine an unsolicited Frank will show up and we'll
Speaker 2: get our local politics out there on Monday. What's going
Speaker 2: on with these stop lights? Yeah, what's happening with the potholes?
Speaker 2: How many new Filipino DJ troops have developed? Right in
Speaker 2: the last year exactly, we haven't been here. All of
Speaker 2: those things, all of those questions about Sorito's along with
Speaker 2: us getting a pin, a magnet, a pen.
Speaker 3: Hey, I still love those Coast to Mesa socks that
Speaker 3: the Coast to Mesa mayor gave us.
Speaker 2: They are nice.
Speaker 3: Those are nice and the T shirt was nice too.
Speaker 5: How about the water bottles?
Speaker 2: Say Hydra? Pretty good? Right?
Speaker 3: Nice swag bag from Coast to Mesa.
Speaker 2: Hey you hear that, Frank, We got a nice swag
Speaker 2: bag from Coast to Mason. We did. As much as
Speaker 2: we like your coin and your pin. There's a real
Speaker 2: We got socks from Coast to Mesa. Step it up.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, all right, that's Monday.
Speaker 3: It is time for the Flip Top story of the day.
Speaker 5: I'll flip you out, I will.
Speaker 2: Fp you out. This is the flip Top story of
Speaker 2: the day. Now, Matt, we'll talk.
Speaker 3: To John Paul Morosi next, and we'll talk about Dodger's
Speaker 3: greatest team of all time, Greatest World Series of all time,
Speaker 3: Greatest Game seven of all.
Speaker 2: Time, greatest thing ever. You know, man, the.
Speaker 3: Dodgers rack baseball with their fist. What happened out there?
Speaker 3: What about the hot stove? So we'll get but as
Speaker 3: hard as it is to say goodbye to what was
Speaker 3: a very exciting Dodger season. It's time to clean up
Speaker 3: the streets and all the rappers on the sidewalks in
Speaker 3: Yoshinobu Yamamoto out to Grand Avenue to clean everything up
Speaker 3: and the bottles and cans and clap your hands where
Speaker 3: it's that right and move on with our world of
Speaker 3: great sports talk. It's not easy great sports talk, but
Speaker 3: we've got to do. We can have gratitude for the
Speaker 3: great and entertaining ride that the Dodgers have provided us
Speaker 3: locally and all the great access to the players and
Speaker 3: front office people and Dave Roberts. It's been a real
Speaker 3: windfall for everybody involved. And we don't take that for granted,
Speaker 3: not here on Anti seventy LA Sports. I will take
Speaker 3: credit great sports talk, but we will not take it
Speaker 3: no for granted. If they win three in a row,
Speaker 3: we might actually start taking it for granted.
Speaker 2: I mean we do without taking too much of the credit.
Speaker 2: But we do show up on the field. The players
Speaker 2: are we are in their presence. They do feel the
Speaker 2: aura that we exude, especially in the postseason. Whatever that does, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, that does something. Is it positive or negative?
Speaker 2: I don't know, And it does something and it is hot.
Speaker 3: But before the actual hot stove for us gets to percolate,
Speaker 3: we still have the world of great sports talk, great
Speaker 3: sports talk to attend to. We still have to mind
Speaker 3: our chores and get ready for the long winter. We
Speaker 3: got a chop wood matt. We've got to get our
Speaker 3: hogs in order, and we've got to can our vegetables
Speaker 3: I love. We got to carry our water. We've got
Speaker 3: to work to still and get our moonshine and corn
Speaker 3: liquor ready to go for the winter. We got many
Speaker 3: dishes to wash and lots of time to fill, especially
Speaker 3: in the next couple of weeks before the Clippers hit
Speaker 3: the road, because everybody loves that afternoon drive Clipper game.
Speaker 2: What's better?
Speaker 1: Me? Me, Me?
Speaker 2: Do you mean to tell me I got Clippers Hawks
Speaker 2: at four o'clock?
Speaker 3: You, Well, you can always just go to the iHeartRadio
Speaker 3: app and podcast the hour or two that we have
Speaker 3: done there before the Clipper So expect us to get
Speaker 3: more and more back in that mode as a show.
Speaker 3: Now here's the story UCLA. Our friend Don McLain on
Speaker 3: the call last night, had their first hoops game and
Speaker 3: they beat up on Eastern Washington. That would be the Eagles.
Speaker 3: I don't think their Their basketball floor up in uh right,
Speaker 3: red outside of Spokane is bright red like the like
Speaker 3: the football field. But probably uh they have to play
Speaker 3: with a white ball like you. Probably couldn't play with
Speaker 3: a sort of orangish leather ball on a red floor,
Speaker 3: could you. I don't think so. Probably more traditional. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll look it up right when we're done here. They
Speaker 3: beat the Eagles only eighty to seventy four. UCLA was
Speaker 3: outscored by one half by one point in the second half.
Speaker 3: And our hero Mix Cronin's team is ranked twelve, and
Speaker 3: it was a mistake laden game. They were a mess
Speaker 3: on defense. They played down to the Big Sky competition,
Speaker 3: and they went up fifteen in the second half. Maybe
Speaker 3: they relaxed daily didn't play. They did hang on to win. Whatever. Right,
Speaker 3: the new Mexico transfer Donovan.
Speaker 2: Dent, he's good.
Speaker 3: He was great twenty one points, nine assists, four boards,
Speaker 3: and he will be fun to watch as the year
Speaker 3: goes on. But this is the story Matt. I thought
Speaker 3: this was was pretty great. That's local. But here is
Speaker 3: a funny story when it comes to college hoops. Last
Speaker 3: night Boise State, Matt one of the better teams in
Speaker 3: the Mountain West picked to be competitive to win the
Speaker 3: Mountain West Conference. The Broncos playing a nice stadium there
Speaker 3: right by the football complex as you've.
Speaker 2: Seen beautiful campus.
Speaker 3: Boise State played Division two Hawaii Pacific. The Sharks a
Speaker 3: private school with five thousand students located in a strip
Speaker 3: mall in the Honolulu Harbor, the Aloha Tower Marketplace, which
Speaker 3: they revitalized and made their permanent campus ten years ago
Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: So it's a strip mall that they converted into a university.
Speaker 2: It's a strip mall. Like it's not like there's a
Speaker 2: VHS rental joint next to classes.
Speaker 3: Well, there is retail and there's restaurants there are, but
Speaker 3: they do not have a VHS rental map. Okay. I mean,
Speaker 3: I know it's island Island, but come on.
Speaker 2: I just you said five thousand students. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: and an athletics program.
Speaker 3: The strip mall is just blocks from the State cap
Speaker 3: Pioneer Square. As you know Honolulu quite well. The Sharks
Speaker 3: with their mascot Sharky the Shark, are located at Pier
Speaker 3: six and eight of the Honolulu Harbor. Amongst yes, public retail.
Speaker 2: And restaurants, public retail.
Speaker 3: They went all the way to Boise and beat them
Speaker 3: by one point. Now, it's not that odd to see
Speaker 3: a D two team win one of these crazy games.
Speaker 3: Early seen it here, But a D two team from
Speaker 3: a strip mall that is odd. Seventy nine to seventy
Speaker 3: eight was the score Boise. He won twenty six games
Speaker 3: last year and got beat by a team that has
Speaker 3: eight rows of seats in their gym back in Honolulu,
Speaker 3: which used to be Saint Francis School, now it's hpu's gym.
Speaker 2: They've had racing for pink slips. They've had that for
Speaker 2: six years.
Speaker 3: The gym, as I checked out today on some Hawaii
Speaker 3: news sites, has one of the biggest ceiling fans that
Speaker 3: I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Oh big gass fans.
Speaker 3: Correct. Before they moved into the Saint Francis facility Hawaii
Speaker 3: Pacific University, the Sharks were vagabonds, going from gym to
Speaker 3: gym and weight room to weight room all around the
Speaker 3: city of Honolulu. I did some research and in retrospect,
Speaker 3: I probably should have gone to this college.
Speaker 2: Anyway. I can't tell you what gym you're going to
Speaker 2: be playing in, but we do offer you at program.
Speaker 2: I don't know where we're going to practice, but we'll
Speaker 2: figure it out.
Speaker 3: The college hoops is underway, Matt, and last night was
Speaker 3: the launching pad for many many teams.
Speaker 2: You piqued my interest with the Hawaii Pacific University, so
Speaker 2: obviously I had to Google to put my eyes because
Speaker 2: I think when you say strip Mall, we have our
Speaker 2: own vision, you know.
Speaker 3: But it looks exactly like a Honolulu strip mall. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's it's that's what it is. It's beautiful. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: right across, but yeah, it's you know, there's a it's
Speaker 3: not like there's a I don't know that wasn't something
Speaker 3: like Alma Monter, Matt. That wasn't always their location, right,
Speaker 3: They moved around a little bit, but they took over
Speaker 3: the strip Mall about ten years ago and they love it.
Speaker 2: Got a line on a piece of property. Guys, if
Speaker 2: we want to move to university where that's strip mall?
Speaker 3: Right now, I got biology at two o'clock. Before that,
Speaker 3: I'm getting a foot massage and a pedicure.
Speaker 2: Pretty sweet. Yeah, I mean, I mean, honestly, all right
Speaker 2: on the water, like you said, it's on those that
Speaker 2: Pier and it's a couple of the cool look a couple.
Speaker 3: Of politicians Tulci Gabbard and Sarah Palin.
Speaker 5: Which to school there?
Speaker 2: Uh huh?
Speaker 3: And a lot of Asian Americans Pacific Islanders UCLA one
Speaker 3: and they play matts Alma Mater Pepperdine on Friday night.
Speaker 2: Oh ways, they're coming with a thump for him.
Speaker 3: USC beat another school matts connected to cal paly by
Speaker 3: thirty last night. Fortunate old friend Eric Musselman in year
Speaker 3: two post BROWNI what's gonna happen? And next Sunday they
Speaker 3: have Manhattan the beach.
Speaker 2: Not the island.
Speaker 3: This Sunday, I should say, no, the island, not the
Speaker 3: beat right, Sorry, Manhattan I.
Speaker 2: Think has made an NCAA tournament runner two in their past.
Speaker 3: So USC and Pepperdine Pepperdine for UCLA. Sorry in USC
Speaker 3: with Manhattan a little bit of a step up from
Speaker 3: who they've been playing, certainly in their second game and
Speaker 3: Boise lost to Hawaii Pacific, which is a strip mall.
Speaker 3: Basically Boise will be in the Bizarro pac twelve next year.
Speaker 3: And they lost to a slack guitar style strip mall
Speaker 3: in Honolulu.
Speaker 5: You guys, forgot to mention who the head coach at
Speaker 5: Eastern Washington is. Oh, that's our friend, Yeah, Dad Mounts
Speaker 5: and Mountain Old Slobby p oh. So he gave Mick
Speaker 5: cronin some fits last night, and McK cronan was angry
Speaker 5: and took it out on Josh Lewin allegedly. We don't
Speaker 5: have the tape. I'm talking to Tracy. So Tracy, that's.
Speaker 3: What he said. I'm talking. Did he say that I'm
Speaker 3: not talking to you? That's what And we'll be back
Speaker 3: with more Petro send money. John Paul Morosi will actually
Speaker 3: put a button on the baseball for the day. Coming
Speaker 3: up next from the MLB Network with some hot stove talking,
Speaker 3: some perspective on the World Series that is national.

Speaker 3: Yes, Matt, and while everybody in LA has been celebrating,
Speaker 3: most everybody else has been sitting around, which is why
Speaker 3: it's time for the hot stove. He was doing a
Speaker 3: hot stove this morning on the MLB Network, the MLB Network.
Speaker 3: So good to us. A wonderful bridge that we have built,
Speaker 3: and to prove it, a great Michigander, a fabulous Harvard man.
Speaker 3: His alarm clock is hailed to the victors. The song
Speaker 3: we're playing right now, it is John Paul Morosi, Italian
Speaker 3: America can Baseball Insider joining us to discuss what this
Speaker 3: baseball season off off season will look like now that
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have won another World Series? What's crack at JPM?
Speaker 4: How are you, Petros and Money? I am outstanding, my friends,
Speaker 4: great to be with you. Congratulations to the Dodgers and
Speaker 4: the city of Los Angeles and all the amazing fans
Speaker 4: in California throughout the US that love the Dodgers. By
Speaker 4: the way, Petros, I belatedly congratulations to your Trojans on
Speaker 4: the way they dismantled Michigan at the Coliseum. They're thirty
Speaker 4: one to thirteen last month, so I apologize for not
Speaker 4: being more timely with my congratulations on that victory as well.
Speaker 2: World Series going on, I have to maybe one more
Speaker 2: appearance from m and the hot Stone sleep on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might might have to be another apparent. I
Speaker 3: thought you're going to talk about Nebraska USC doing okay
Speaker 3: with a couple of Big ten heavyweights there. Maybe not
Speaker 3: so much some others. But either way, what did you
Speaker 3: believe you saw during the World Series? JPM? You always
Speaker 3: have a pretty good perspective. Was that the greatest World
Speaker 3: Series you've ever seen? Are you surprised that it was
Speaker 3: so wild?
Speaker 4: It was the greatest I've ever seen? Number one, I'll
Speaker 4: start there, and it's because of the number of different
Speaker 4: twists and turns, unlikely heroes and moments that if you
Speaker 4: had given all of us who liked to think up
Speaker 4: interesting plot twists in baseball games a full month in
Speaker 4: a sound stage in Studio City to figure out what
Speaker 4: we could do and how we could make the most
Speaker 4: amazing World Series possible. We would not be able to
Speaker 4: come up with something as dramatic as what just transpired,
Speaker 4: from Kershaw's final pitch at Dodger Stadium to even fluky
Speaker 4: things like Bobashett getting picked off off after what he
Speaker 4: thought was a walk, to Pajs tackling Tik making the
Speaker 4: catch the game six, ending the thoughts about the base
Speaker 4: running with Kainer Fileffa Yamamoto having one of the greatest
Speaker 4: postseasons ever in terms of what he did on zero
Speaker 4: day's rest and just the absolute command that he has
Speaker 4: on the mound. So it was iconic players having iconic performances.
Speaker 4: It was unlikely players having amazing outings and in performances
Speaker 4: like Justin Dean knowing the rule in center field and
Speaker 4: Miggy Rowe becoming the hero. The Tails are legion at
Speaker 4: this point, and I think, so I look at the
Speaker 4: World Series, guys that from a historical standpoint through two
Speaker 4: different lenses. Number One, how thrilling was it in the moment?
Speaker 4: How unexpected was it in the moment that was a.
Speaker 2: Ten out of ten on that score.
Speaker 4: And then I also asked the question when people love
Speaker 4: the game, when the three of us and fans that
Speaker 4: are watching that were watching it, that when we're twenty five,
Speaker 4: thirty years on and there's an anniversary that's shown about
Speaker 4: the World Series of twenty twenty five, and how we
Speaker 4: all feel about it in our older ages looking back,
Speaker 4: I always love to say, Okay, tell me how many
Speaker 4: significant players and or Hall of famers were figures in
Speaker 4: this particular World series. So when you go back and
Speaker 4: look at a World Series in the mid nineties, Braves
Speaker 4: and Yankees, and you say how many Hall of famers, Well,
Speaker 4: let's ask the question now, how many Hall of famers
Speaker 4: in this one. Well, on the Dodgers side, Kershaw, no doubt,
Speaker 4: Otani greatest player of all time, perhaps, Mookie Locke hall
Speaker 4: of Famer, four time World Series champion. Now Freddie three
Speaker 4: time World Series champion. He's a Hall of Famer. You
Speaker 4: know what, Will Smith very likely will be a Hall
Speaker 4: of Famer one day. Dave Roberts, the manager, is going
Speaker 4: to be a Hall of Famer now. He's a three
Speaker 4: time World Series champion as a manager, in addition to
Speaker 4: being a World Series Champion player. Then you take the
Speaker 4: opposite side of the equation, Max Scherzer Hall of Famer,
Speaker 4: Laddie probably a Hall of Famer, a lot of other
Speaker 4: Blue Jays that you feel are significant people in this
Speaker 4: era of the game, like a Bobashett for example, and
Speaker 4: you go on down the list and other performances from
Speaker 4: players like Kevin Gossman and the Shane Bieber from Southern
Speaker 4: California who's the Signing Award winner in the past. So
Speaker 4: you've got multiple time All Stars all over the place
Speaker 4: in a way that when you start counting the Hall
Speaker 4: of Famers on this World Series years from now, you're
Speaker 4: going to be I think conservatively six or seven and
Speaker 4: maybe eight depending on how certain careers unfold. So that
Speaker 4: to me is a claim of historical significance. Again, you
Speaker 4: compare it to the seventy five World Series Big Red
Speaker 4: Machine plus Fisk plus Louis Tian. You go down the
Speaker 4: list of historical players. This World Series, I believe Guys
Speaker 4: is going to rival some of the greatest that we've
Speaker 4: ever seen.
Speaker 2: You go back to last year JPM and you know,
Speaker 2: after the Padres series, the dog pretty much and I
Speaker 2: don't want to say Waltz, but it wasn't all that
Speaker 2: hard against the Mets and the Yankees. This year the
Speaker 2: exact opposite, where you know, even though they were tight
Speaker 2: games against the Phillies, that's you know, four games, they
Speaker 2: win two in Philadelphia and they had no issues obviously
Speaker 2: with the Brewers. Were the Blue Jays maybe the most
Speaker 2: formidable opponent that they have faced in these last two postseasons?
Speaker 2: Are they that much better than the Yankees were last year?
Speaker 2: Was that the Dodgers struggled a little bit and guys
Speaker 2: just kind of found slumps at the wrong time. What
Speaker 2: was it that led to this team that looked like
Speaker 2: a buzz saw through those first three rounds kind of
Speaker 2: finding trouble in the World Series?
Speaker 4: The Jays I think were the best top to bottom
Speaker 4: team that the Dodgers have played in these last two
Speaker 4: postseason runs. I think the results bear that out. The
Speaker 4: Jays scored more runs than the Dodgers did in this
Speaker 4: World Series. They had a higher team ops, had a
Speaker 4: higher team batting average. They realized that that we don't
Speaker 4: decide championships based on total run scored in this sport.
Speaker 4: It's not total goals in soccer. In a group stage
Speaker 4: of a World Cup or something like that. But it's
Speaker 4: that is illustrated of the fact that it was. If
Speaker 4: the Jays had won, it would not have been a fluke,
Speaker 4: and in fact it was interesting. We actually played this
Speaker 4: sound on on m WILLB network this morning. I think
Speaker 4: it was kind of lost in in the aftermath of
Speaker 4: Game seven. There's a lot going on, obviously, but Josh
Speaker 4: Schneider said, and I'm paraphrasing here, but he used the
Speaker 4: word we had chances to sweep them, is what he said,
Speaker 4: And honestly he's not He's not wrong. I mean, I mean, now,
Speaker 4: if you want to say, of the first four games,
Speaker 4: like a game three obviously was a complete toss up,
Speaker 4: historic game. And if you look at the first five games,
Speaker 4: let's say the only one the Dodgers really won decidedly
Speaker 4: of the first five games was Game two, and even
Speaker 4: that game was pretty tight to where if if Goslin
Speaker 4: makes more of his pitches, the James could easily won
Speaker 4: that game as well. So again Josh Shanner made a
Speaker 4: very bold comment and saying we had chances to sleep them,
Speaker 4: but they had chances to sweep them if you really
Speaker 4: look at the game. By game and how it all unfolded.
Speaker 4: That's actually a true statement. So it was two very
Speaker 4: evenly matched teams for different reasons. I think that maybe
Speaker 4: the Jays a little bit of a shortcoming in terms
Speaker 4: of the way their bullpen was set up. Obviously a
Speaker 4: lot of fixation on the Rojas homer, but certainly you
Speaker 4: Savage had to give up a homer two. And again,
Speaker 4: if you're really a locked in team in terms of
Speaker 4: your bullpen, you probably have someone who's not a rookie
Speaker 4: that had just started a couple of days earlier having
Speaker 4: to pitch in that situation that you Savage did. And
Speaker 4: then the ultimate, the ultimate frump card for the Dodgers
Speaker 4: was Yamamoto. He's just the and And that is one case.
Speaker 4: And this is one of those fascinating things where you
Speaker 4: can kind of look at this World Series and see
Speaker 4: what you want to see. You could you could say
Speaker 4: that some of the most important plays the Dodgers made
Speaker 4: justin Dean's heads up playing the outfield, Keyk's throw, the
Speaker 4: Pakes catch, the Mickey row home run. These were by
Speaker 4: players that, if you add up their salaries for this year,
Speaker 4: were not not a huge number. And yet the dude
Speaker 4: who was the MVP, was the guy that signed the
Speaker 4: biggest contract for a pitcher in the history of the game. Okay,
Speaker 4: And so there were parts where the Dodgers' ability to
Speaker 4: do the small things were difference makers, and there were
Speaker 4: also times where their ability to do the biggest things
Speaker 4: like Otani's Game four of the NLCS, Otani reaching base
Speaker 4: nine times in the in game three, and then of
Speaker 4: course what Yamamoto did in six and seven, that is
Speaker 4: their financial Wherewithal having a massive impact and Freddie and
Speaker 4: Mooki and all the rest the cast of thousands. Of course,
Speaker 4: So I think that you saw, and I think what
Speaker 4: I hope guys is the takeaway. There's plenty of discussion,
Speaker 4: I'm sure on this channel others people that have opinions. Okay,
Speaker 4: are the Dodgers good for baseball? They unequivocally yes, they are.
Speaker 2: And what we're gonna happen.
Speaker 4: Reasons why I say, Well, I'm glad, I'm glad. I
Speaker 4: anticipated the question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been doing the show for years.
Speaker 4: Here's right. I just I'm taking the relay, throwing it over.
Speaker 4: I say, unequivocally the answer is yes, because of a
Speaker 4: couple things. It's not just getting Otani and Yamamoto and
Speaker 4: Freemen and Bets and Snell and all the free agents.
Speaker 4: It's not just that the Dodgers do the back of
Speaker 4: the house stuff. The infrastructure, the scouting, the development, the
Speaker 4: thoughtfulness they bring into their front office. They do all
Speaker 4: of those things better than everybody else. They just do.
Speaker 4: And so I see some ways in which the Jays
Speaker 4: have had to bring their levels of back of the
Speaker 4: house things up to what the Dodgers do. I see
Speaker 4: it seem like the Giants trying to do the same thing.
Speaker 4: So it's it's bringing up the levels where. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: the Toronto Blue Jays are a large market team, without
Speaker 4: a doubt, But I find the whole thing humorous. That
Speaker 4: it's silly, I believe for someone to say, well, the
Speaker 4: Dodgers have won back to back championships, therefore the model
Speaker 4: is broken. That's nonsense. If Isaiah kind of love it
Speaker 4: gets one foot of a better lead, the Blue Jays
Speaker 4: win the World Series, and what the game is a
Speaker 4: little bit less broken because he had what one better
Speaker 4: secondary lead and one moment.
Speaker 3: Of lightly slightly right.
Speaker 4: It's right. So I mean I find that that is
Speaker 4: that logic doesn't really pull a whole lot of water
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 2: I mean, just when the thing jp to jump in there,
Speaker 2: like beyond the winning and is it unfair? It's just
Speaker 2: a platform. I mean, Shoel Tani won multiple MVPs, was
Speaker 2: pitching and hitting and nobody cared. And it was thirty
Speaker 2: minutes south of Los Angeles and it was not an
Speaker 2: event you'd have people go out, but it didn't stop
Speaker 2: the world like it did. And for the Dodgers to
Speaker 2: be able to him on that stage, to put a
Speaker 2: twenty five year old now twenty seven Yamamoto on that
Speaker 2: stage to look like Randy Johnson or Madison Bumgardner, like,
Speaker 2: that's to me, it's just shortsighted to think baseball would
Speaker 2: be better if you spread all these players out if
Speaker 2: Otani stayed with the Angels and it was just Mookie
Speaker 2: and Freddy in La if Yamamoto went to the Mets, Like,
Speaker 2: to me, the fact that you have this stage for
Speaker 2: all of these exceptional players is exceptional for baseball, and
Speaker 2: it brings more eyeballs to watch this one team play. Right.
Speaker 4: And I'll make this point too, We have lots of
Speaker 4: different ways of measuring viewership, and we could probably talk
Speaker 4: about Okay, how much do Nielsen ratings really matter, et cetera.
Speaker 4: I said this right after Game seven, and I believe
Speaker 4: this in my heart that and there's plenty of evidence,
Speaker 4: by the way, to back up what I'm saying here
Speaker 4: that in terms of engagement, which is similar to viewership
Speaker 4: but not exactly the same thing. But I'm going to
Speaker 4: say engagement with the major league product, more people around
Speaker 4: the world care about the Major League product and consume
Speaker 4: the Major League product in whatever form it is than
Speaker 4: ever before. Because people might say, well, look at the
Speaker 4: TV ratings of the nineteen seventy five World Series. Yes,
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: There are three channels the entire country, right, and the
Speaker 1: advertised used to do thirty million.
Speaker 4: Correct, exactly. I don't think everybody in Japan was watching
Speaker 4: the punch Fist home run in nineteen seventy five. Okay,
Speaker 4: but guess what Sunday morning in Japan? I can I
Speaker 4: can wager a pretty strong amount that that a substantial
Speaker 4: number of people in Japan were watching baseball, and you
Speaker 4: had the whole country of Canada watching that series. You
Speaker 4: had so many people in this country watching that series.
Speaker 4: So the way in which people feel connected to the
Speaker 4: greatness of this sport writ large and the Dodgers specifically
Speaker 4: has made this sport and the Major League Baseball brand
Speaker 4: more popular. I believe then it's ever been, because we
Speaker 4: just have a greater and a more diverse number of
Speaker 4: people who care about not just Baseball the sport, but
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball and the Dodgers. And I'd say all
Speaker 4: the time, when I visit LA doing games multiple times
Speaker 4: a year, I'm at the hotel, I'm seeing fans coming
Speaker 4: from Korea, from Japan, from Taiwan, all around the world
Speaker 4: to see this team play. I think that's great for baseball.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers made about seven hundred and fifty million bucks
Speaker 2: in twenty four and they spent about five hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty million some people, And you can would love for
Speaker 2: you to speak to this John Paul, Like if Kyle
Speaker 2: Tucker comes here for three hundred million, Like, are other
Speaker 2: teams going to spend their money? Because the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: did and they ended up getting to the World Series.
Speaker 2: The Mets did and it didn't get him anywhere. It
Speaker 2: was a late season collapse. Like are we going to
Speaker 2: see people get pissed off at the Dodgers again because
Speaker 2: they're happy to reinvest in roster or are some of
Speaker 2: these other teams and their owners going to finally start
Speaker 2: spending money and coughing up all this cash they're making
Speaker 2: like the Cubs.
Speaker 4: Well there are there are certainly some teams that will
Speaker 4: and some teams that won't, and I can't have the
Speaker 4: crystal ball to know exactly which teams will. I do
Speaker 4: believe the Mets will keep trying. I think that we
Speaker 4: will see the Giants make a significant free agent signing
Speaker 4: this winter. Whether it's Tucker that would be. I think
Speaker 4: he would fit them quite nicely. Maybe it ends up
Speaker 4: being a major free agent coming over from Japan. We're
Speaker 4: likely to see three of them coming this time. Tatsu Emai,
Speaker 4: who is a right handed pitcher, and then two significant bats.
Speaker 4: It's probably the first time we've ever seen two major
Speaker 4: bats coming over from Japan in the same in the
Speaker 4: same offseason. Munataka Murakami from the Yakult Swallows in Tokyo,
Speaker 4: sort of the smaller of the two teams in Tokyo,
Speaker 4: and then the one the big team in Tokyo, the
Speaker 4: Marry Giants their first basement and their basement. Kazuma O
Speaker 4: Komodo is also coming over. So three, are they of
Speaker 4: the same stature as Yamamoto right now? Probably not, but
Speaker 4: Imai is probably on a level of what Senga was
Speaker 4: when he came over. And then again, Okamoto and Murakami
Speaker 4: are probably a notched down from what Adaki Matsui was,
Speaker 4: but they're legitimate. They're gonna be good players in this league.
Speaker 4: So I think that there's gonna be that fascination as well.
Speaker 4: There's not. I mean, I'll say that there's not a
Speaker 4: This is not the the off season of Kyle Tucker
Speaker 4: in the way that last year was Soto and the
Speaker 4: one before was Otani, the one before was Judge. Tucker
Speaker 4: is a really good player, he's not, in my opinion,
Speaker 4: at the level of those three. And so I think
Speaker 4: we'll see if teams are going to be clever and
Speaker 4: maybe you could find a way to sign a Pete
Speaker 4: Alonzo plus one of the pitchers, maybe a Dylan Ceze,
Speaker 4: maybe a Ranger Suarez, maybe a Tatsuo Imai, and it's
Speaker 4: more of a diversification of your portfolio, if you will,
Speaker 4: in a way that honestly worked very well for a
Speaker 4: club like the Toronto Blue Jays that they they signed
Speaker 4: their own and Vladdy mcguaro junior, but they did I
Speaker 4: think a much better job of allocating their resources. Hoffman
Speaker 4: obviously giving the home run, but he had a pretty
Speaker 4: good year overall. Sures are a different different investments they
Speaker 4: made with their position player group. So I think we'll
Speaker 4: see more teams try to be like the Blue Jays
Speaker 4: than try to be like the Dodgers, because the Dodgers, really,
Speaker 4: as we've talked about in the course of the segment,
Speaker 4: are really.
Speaker 2: One of ones.
Speaker 3: Well so is John Paul Morosi. It's like driving around
Speaker 3: Rome in an electric car. The past and the future.
Speaker 3: What a star. Thank you. We've milked you dry like

Speaker 3: Good morning, Pete. I was at Dodger Stadium yesterday and
Speaker 3: there were almost none of our Asian American Pacific Islander
Speaker 3: friends there yesterday was Padlos Susios. We weren't there in
Speaker 3: the stadium. Kates was there, and we don't know about
Speaker 3: the demographics, but it could have been that. You know,
Speaker 3: when the season was over, the Japanese tourists or the
Speaker 3: tour groups maybe stopped.
Speaker 2: For a little while. They may have just stopped at
Speaker 2: the top of the World Dodgers Clubhouse store. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: usually what they do. Yeah, they stopped. The bus stops there,
Speaker 2: they get out, they purchase an absolute crap ton of merchandise,
Speaker 2: and a lot of times they just move on to
Speaker 2: the next retail location.
Speaker 3: That's true, usually to the outlets right by Marongo Casino,
Speaker 3: his last spot to ca. You know what was cool
Speaker 3: about yesterday, Pe David Vasse given Tim Kates his flowers
Speaker 3: for all that hard work he put in all postseason,
Speaker 3: a real MVP of Great Sports.

Speaker 5: They ran out of flowers. That's how many flowers are
Speaker 5: given out.

Speaker 3: I wish I think we would be remiss if we
Speaker 3: didn't acknowledge the role petrosen money played in the championship.
Speaker 3: The Panic Brothers panicked when panic was needed. You called
Speaker 3: out the Tsatho flaccid bats. You got after their ass
Speaker 3: when needed, while also washing their balls anytime.
Speaker 2: You talk to a member of the team.
Speaker 3: All in all, we love it was a team effort
Speaker 3: that netted a championship and another ring Kates won't get
Speaker 3: well done. On another note, can you please let us
Speaker 3: all know your BJ's remote schedule from now until spring

Speaker 2: and then you make your way to the Sacks off
Speaker 2: Fifth Avenue. Let the Nordstrom rack. I believe there's a
Speaker 2: guitar center in there as well. You can do a
Speaker 2: lot of retail in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. So that's a
Speaker 3: great place right off the six oh five. Like you said,
Speaker 3: Troy Aikman, looks more like Brian from Family Guy every day.

Speaker 3: This is in regards to downtown Nashville. Matt where you
Speaker 3: just wear it says, downtown Nashville is a total embarrassment. Now,

Speaker 3: flags amusement.
Speaker 2: Parn There is a little bit too much kid rock here.
