Speaker 4: functional employee Adam of now that he's a national radio host,
Speaker 4: seems like he's a little too above hitting the buttons.
Speaker 6: He's got two hours and fifty two minutes left home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, count it down. I hope you're doing okay.
Speaker 7: You do?
Speaker 2: Did you do? Rogan and Rodney earlier at him for
Speaker 2: like forty five minutes.
Speaker 6: No, I was here on the board, and I don't
Speaker 6: know if they knew I was here on the board,
Speaker 6: so they didn't utilize.
Speaker 5: Me, right, gotcha?
Speaker 4: Yeah, But he sat there for Rogan and Rodney for
Speaker 4: three hours, which is like being an editor in an
Speaker 4: edit bay, where your face turns, you know, to like
Speaker 4: an old man, you know, like when you chose poorly
Speaker 4: in the Last Crusade, you get old right away, and
Speaker 4: then your body turns into a bunch of bones and
Speaker 4: slams against the wall. I thought your brain just turned
Speaker 4: into suit.
Speaker 3: No, No, that's the that's the melting non see.
Speaker 4: Then that's just when Fred when he's with a co host.
Speaker 2: That's ah, that's yeah, I got you. That's one half
Speaker 2: of the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is time though, now, Matt, I think you
Speaker 4: mentioned this. It was you, or maybe it was I
Speaker 4: think it was you, But it is time for the
Speaker 4: word of the day.
Speaker 1: I mean his words the word of the day.
Speaker 3: They just won't have it anymore, Matt.
Speaker 4: They're just they're too many tortillas flying and it's become
Speaker 4: a huge problem. They used to throw tortillas around in Lubbock,
Speaker 4: Texas and Texas Tech games when somebody scored a touchdown,
Speaker 4: could be you could be the opponent, but the tortillas
Speaker 4: would fly. And now the Big Twelve and Brett your mark,
Speaker 4: the Big Twelve commissioner, they are trying hard to crack
Speaker 4: down on the tortillas flying. They are fining, they are
Speaker 4: giving fifteen yard flags. What is it, fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 4: per tortilla, fifty k if the tortillas fly. The tortillas
Speaker 4: did not fly at Arizona State, even though Texas Tech
Speaker 4: lost their first Big twelve game, first game of the
Speaker 4: year actually, but their first conference game they lost. They
Speaker 4: have Oklahoma State coming up at home and they're going
Speaker 4: to beat Oklahoma State even if the tortillas fly. But
Speaker 4: Kirby hoe Cut, Texas Tech athletic director and now the
Speaker 4: overseer of the highest payroll in the nil college football world,
Speaker 4: Texas Tech got some big money A and M like money,
Speaker 4: and they have a really good looking team this year,
Speaker 4: and up until last Saturday, they'd won every game by
Speaker 4: a big margin. I mean, they even beat the crap
Speaker 4: out of Houston, who's doing a great job into Big
Speaker 4: twelve this year. But here's our guy, Kirby hoe Cut,
Speaker 4: pleading with the people of Lubbock.
Speaker 3: No more tortillas.
Speaker 8: The stakes are too high and we need to help
Speaker 8: not risk penalizing our team again for throwing tortillas. Simply
Speaker 8: let's not do it. The situation is on me. I
Speaker 8: leaned into this of throwing tortillas at the beginning of
Speaker 8: the football season. Now I must ask everyone to stop myself,
Speaker 8: ask our staff to enforce.
Speaker 2: It on game days.
Speaker 8: I close and we'll turn it over to coach maguire,
Speaker 8: asking our students and our fans to continue to make
Speaker 8: Jones at and T Stadium the best environment in college football.
Speaker 8: And I don't know how they will do it, but
Speaker 8: I am confident that our fans and our students are
Speaker 8: about to make the Jones even louder than it's ever
Speaker 8: been before.
Speaker 3: Oh he ended it with a compliment, which is great.
Speaker 4: How much do you think that the students are going
Speaker 4: to listen?
Speaker 3: List?
Speaker 5: I didn't come to Texas toime because of the exceptional
Speaker 5: physics program.
Speaker 4: I came here to do two things smoke weed ands
Speaker 4: and we're out of weed.
Speaker 3: I understanding that I did. I'm responsible for this. I
Speaker 3: told you all to do it, but I was wrong.
Speaker 2: Dinky hole cut. It's my fault.
Speaker 3: I apologize.
Speaker 2: I leaned into it.
Speaker 8: The steaks are too high. We need we need to help. Simply,
Speaker 8: let's not do it.
Speaker 2: Let's throw on totius.
Speaker 3: Dude, it's not that bad to get hit with a tortilla.
Speaker 2: Unless you're doing that slap test when they're wet.
Speaker 4: Well, that's all that get them all wet. How do
Speaker 4: you get it out? You know you can't get it out.
Speaker 2: Please, everybody stop throwing totius.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do this cool thing down in Lubbock where
Speaker 4: they score tests and they throw.
Speaker 3: It's bad. You can't do it.
Speaker 5: It is now preventing our team from winning football.
Speaker 3: Steaks are too damn high.
Speaker 8: The steaks are too high, and we need to help,
Speaker 8: not risk penalizing our team again. For hey, thank you,
Speaker 8: simply not do it.
Speaker 2: I believe you are incorrect. It is not the mistake.
Speaker 2: It is the periods.
Speaker 3: Mister. I believe that you are wrong. Here's my number
Speaker 3: number of the day.
Speaker 4: Look, so one guy has one tough piece of milanaise misteak.
Speaker 3: Now you can't stop talking.
Speaker 5: Uh number is three, three and one weekend. I'll take
Speaker 5: it ten and eleven. On the season, Money Bucket said
Speaker 5: that we were seven and ten going into week seven,
Speaker 5: had a three and oh record going into the the
Speaker 5: late window there. Unfortunately the commanders could not hold up
Speaker 5: and give me my first bill in zero week. So
Speaker 5: I am going to go with the rock Fight. We're
Speaker 5: broadcasting right here tonight seven pm as the Lions and
Speaker 5: Bucks are already underway, So I can't pick that one.
Speaker 5: Two weeks to prepare for Jamico Ryans and that Texans defense.
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold a monster season former Petros and Money guest
Speaker 5: friend of the show. Some wondered when it happened, why
Speaker 5: move on from Gino for a one year wonder like
Speaker 5: Sam Donald, But he and Jackson Smith and Jigba have
Speaker 5: been made sweet music up in Seattle this season. Donald
Speaker 5: won sixteen, got Pete Carroll fired in Seattle, and now
Speaker 5: they brought him down to the Riders to get him
Speaker 5: fired again. Tom Brady does not like it very much.
Speaker 5: Smith fifteen yards per game. They however, have not seen
Speaker 5: a defense like this yet. They did play Pittsburgh, they
Speaker 5: were not great when they faced him. In week two.
Speaker 6: T J.
Speaker 5: Watts still rounded into form forty nine ers week one
Speaker 5: when they were healthy, did a number on Donald and Seattle.
Speaker 5: The Texans defense is better, way better than that. You
Speaker 5: can put Derek Stingley, arguably the best cover corner in
Speaker 5: the league on JSN and maybe wipe him out. Seattle
Speaker 5: running game is not great three point seven per carry.
Speaker 5: That's twenty ninth in the league. And again, this Texans
Speaker 5: defense allowing twelve point per game. So why are they
Speaker 5: two and three? Well because their offense sucks. Seattle's defense
Speaker 5: not far behind nineteen points per game. Last three they
Speaker 5: have averaged five sacks per game, and the Texans offensive
Speaker 5: line is one of, if not the worst, in football.
Speaker 5: So it has not been kind to me. Just taking
Speaker 5: a team and betting the spread has been the way
Speaker 5: that we've been successful. A number of those losses are
Speaker 5: because we've taken under overs, but don't like either of
Speaker 5: these offenses against these defenses. So we are going to
Speaker 5: take the under under forty one, and we're envisioning a
Speaker 5: thirteen to ten style game that you'll hear on the
Speaker 5: radio here.
Speaker 1: Why are you so pissy?
Speaker 5: Leon?
Speaker 2: Why are you so pissy? I'm I'm just answering your guy.
Speaker 2: You are I ask you a question?
Speaker 3: So pissy about the under mat? Very good one?
Speaker 4: What does it matter? You know you want scoring on
Speaker 4: the radio? Fifty points, seven hundred points?
Speaker 5: Nobody likes. It's like playing It's like playing that don't
Speaker 5: pass line at the craps table. Who wants a thirteen
Speaker 5: to ten game? Why are you projecting that? I want
Speaker 5: to drive home, sit in traffic, listen to Sam Darnold,
Speaker 5: do some things, and instead we're projecting like twenty three
Speaker 5: total points and trying to get back to five hundred
Speaker 5: going into the weekend.
Speaker 3: Well, good luck to you, Matt. Oh by the way,
Speaker 3: by the bye, by the bye. I do remember this.
Speaker 4: My brother Tosso played with the nineteen ninety four USC
Speaker 4: team against Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl when they
Speaker 4: played it in the Cotton Bowl before you know At
Speaker 4: and T Stadium was built, right and the Tortillas flew
Speaker 4: in Dallas. I remember him coming home to the Cotton
Speaker 4: Bowl and talking about how the Tortillas flew in Dallas
Speaker 4: and Zack Johnson, the Miami linebacker, was on that Texas
Speaker 4: Tech team and Keishawn Johnson was out there running around,
Speaker 4: so the tortillas were fine there. No one was upset then.
Speaker 4: But now it's like they sound like, you know, like
Speaker 4: like you're like you're shooting a gun in the.
Speaker 3: Sky, you know.
Speaker 4: The other the other thing I said, other than this,
Speaker 4: my other favorite sound so far from this college football
Speaker 4: season is Barry Alvarez telling the Wisconsin people that don't
Speaker 4: boo at Camp Randall go booing a bar. And it's like,
Speaker 4: let's say I was at like a bar we really
Speaker 4: had fun at Like September's right in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 4: I'm not why would I boo the bar. I'm having
Speaker 4: a great time here. They got fried pickles, I'm drinking.
Speaker 4: I don't want to I'm not booing these the hard
Speaker 4: working waiters and waitresses of September. Why would I boo
Speaker 4: in a bar like booing at the game to show
Speaker 4: that you're dissatisfied with the product you're paying for, that
Speaker 4: is really the only appropriate place to boo. Like Barry
Speaker 4: Alvarez is totally backwards on the boo and a bar.
Speaker 4: Booing at a bar is inappropriate, right, Like you can
Speaker 4: give a couple of claps.
Speaker 3: When your team scores or something. I mean, you don't
Speaker 3: have to act like you did it.
Speaker 5: But but no, if you're at a bar, you're just
Speaker 5: gonna drop an F.
Speaker 4: Bomb, yeah or yeah, but you're not gonna sit there.
Speaker 3: And get him out of here.
Speaker 1: Boh.
Speaker 4: You know that's distracted to the other patrons. And I
Speaker 4: think booing at a bar is completely inappropriate as opposed
Speaker 4: to you know, but just booing at the game, which
Speaker 4: is where people boobe.
Speaker 3: So you're wrong, Barry Alvarez. You are wrong.
Speaker 4: I respect you, I respect the zone running, but you're wrong.
Speaker 4: You're wrong to say they can't boo in a bar.
Speaker 4: That's my talk.
Speaker 3: All right, it is time for the song of the day.
Speaker 3: Hold on, let me pull it up.
Speaker 4: I'm not good at this, like Matt, I'm not all
Speaker 4: fast with my fingers.
Speaker 1: This is the song of the day.
Speaker 2: You know, Matt.
Speaker 6: Requested this one.
Speaker 3: Oh I love it.
Speaker 6: Yellow bike cold plays the Chargers or in the yellow
Speaker 6: out or the yellow Rush jerseys. The mustard didn't go
Speaker 6: so well. Somehow, Justin Herbert still threw a pick to
Speaker 6: the team wearing white in the back of the end zone.
Speaker 4: Chargers lost and it's he can't say that he didn't
Speaker 4: see his guys.
Speaker 3: They're right there.
Speaker 6: I heard it was tough on the broadcasters.
Speaker 2: Too, nokod defense. Yeah, I was. Couldn't read the numbers.
Speaker 3: You gotta smile through that smile he oh yeay. We'll
Speaker 3: be right back with the guy who has yellow hair.
Speaker 3: Shemoted he does.
Speaker 4: We'll join us in the very next segment to talk
Speaker 4: about the greatness of the Dodgers and the potential World
Speaker 4: Series matchup game seven to night between Seattle and Toronto
Speaker 4: on De Grassy Street.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
Speaker 4: Stick with us on an I'm a Horse Monday and
Speaker 4: that'll meant you a lot of Monday on petrols and money.
Speaker 3: We've made it.
Speaker 1: Even easier to take LA Sports with you this summer.
Speaker 1: Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: using Apple CarPlay or Android au a road trip all
Speaker 1: summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 5: Just saying Monday five to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere
Speaker 5: on the iHeartRadio app, making our way to Monday Night
Speaker 5: Football tonight. Yes, it's a double header, So we will
Speaker 5: have Seahawks versus Texans at seven pm all week long. Though,
Speaker 5: remember every morning beginning at six am, you start your
Speaker 5: day with Scams, Sacks and Kate's and the am all
Speaker 5: Dodger coverage as we make our way toward World Series
Speaker 5: Game one on Friday. Dodger sitting around for a full
Speaker 5: week before they are back in action. Pee, but that
Speaker 5: doesn't mean the people do want to keep talking and
Speaker 5: hearing about it.
Speaker 4: Oh, we got to pump it off. We wanted him.
Speaker 4: We saw him out at Dodger Stadium, but he was
Speaker 4: on the radio. Sweet Louis Vauton sweatsuit vloor looking good
Speaker 4: looking ready velvet was valure. Jim Bonen, MLB general Manager, mastermind.
Speaker 4: You hear him on the MLB Network radio. We assume
Speaker 4: that's what he was doing. You read him on the Athletic.
Speaker 4: He's on CBS Sports Network at Jim Bonen gm on
Speaker 4: X been on the show many times.
Speaker 3: We always appreciate his insight.
Speaker 4: It's a lot to discuss as he's had a front
Speaker 4: row seat to the Dodger domination in these playoffs.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna pump it up.
Speaker 4: Man who had Cincinnati bubbling the Ohio River turned the Red.
Speaker 4: Jim Boden on the Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline,
Speaker 4: what's cracking, Jim?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 7: It's been a great postseason so far, and this Dodger team.
Speaker 7: Nothing gets more excited, you know, to be there at
Speaker 7: Dodger Stadium when I got to witness the greatest performance
Speaker 7: of any athlete in the history of sports, To watch
Speaker 7: show Shoey o'tani punch out ten, throw a two hitter
Speaker 7: through six and then sit there and at three home
Speaker 7: runs like even Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron, James Tom
Speaker 7: Brady have all the great things all these people have
Speaker 7: done in sports. No one has had a better game
Speaker 7: than he had on Friday. And to be able to
Speaker 7: be there and witness it and see it with all
Speaker 7: the Dodger fans, that's a memory I promise you I'll
Speaker 7: never forget. It was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4: Oh well, I mean, I wanted to ask you about it,
Speaker 4: and that's a great answer because it just feels like
Speaker 4: and you've done this for a living for many years,
Speaker 4: identifying talent, and you have great relationships throughout the generations
Speaker 4: in baseball. But we seem to lack perspective on what
Speaker 4: Otani's doing because it's just not done. I mean, is
Speaker 4: that I don't know, what do you think about? That
Speaker 4: makes it kind of hard.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, because I believe he's artificial intelligence. I don't
Speaker 7: think he's a human being. Just being around him, the size,
Speaker 7: the way he walks, how much Funny has when he's
Speaker 7: the ching, and then he becomes a heavyweight fighter when
Speaker 7: he goes to the mound. I mean, I just kind
Speaker 7: of feel like he was programmed. I think, you know,
Speaker 7: I won't be surprised today we find out and someone says,
Speaker 7: we're just kidding. He was artificial intelligence the whole time.
Speaker 7: I mean, look all kidding aside, we've never seen anything
Speaker 7: like this, Like, you know, it's funny. When he was
Speaker 7: coming over, everyone talked about he's the babe Ruth from
Speaker 7: Japan coming over, and yeah, it was cool. He got
Speaker 7: to do both ways, but not at this level, Like
Speaker 7: nobody saw this. There's never been a human being Nick
Speaker 7: could do this. And he goes on the mound and
Speaker 7: he's a true ace, punched out ten and friggin pitching
Speaker 7: the Dodgers for the World Series and oh, by the way,
Speaker 7: here's three home runs too. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 7: he's gonna win the Nation League MVP again, Like, look,
Speaker 7: it's an honor to prove it's to cover him because
Speaker 7: he's such a cool guy too. I saw the postgame
Speaker 7: interview when he says, what do you want to say
Speaker 7: back to Japan? And he said, I want to say
Speaker 7: to everyone in Japan and the USA, let's all get
Speaker 7: a glass of saki and toast, Like, let's bring everybody together.
Speaker 7: We'll have some saki and toast. This it was phenomenal.
Speaker 7: But I'll tell you what even more than that, to
Speaker 7: watch the Dodgers in the Philly series and then this
Speaker 7: last series against the Brewers. You know, I asked Dave
Speaker 7: Roberts on the field before Game four. I said, Dave,
Speaker 7: you know, watching this team in the regular season, it
Speaker 7: was a ninety three win team. That's what it was.
Speaker 7: That's what the facts say, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 7: But it looked like a mid nineties team, like a
Speaker 7: really good team that could win the World Series, a
Speaker 7: great team. But the team I've witnessed in the last
Speaker 7: two series is one hundred and twenty win team. Like
Speaker 7: everything came together in October exactly the way Andrew Friedman
Speaker 7: and Dave Roberts and Brandon Goldhins designed it. Like when
Speaker 7: you get through the season, Blake, tell me, at eleven starts,
Speaker 7: that's it. They didn't worry about it. You know, they
Speaker 7: only had one pitcher that made thirty starts, that was
Speaker 7: Yoshinoba Yamamoto. Because they've planned for October the whole year,
Speaker 7: and when they have an injured picture ready to come back,
Speaker 7: they just say, yeah, you wait, you just wait, we
Speaker 7: got twelve pictures. Don't worry. We'll wait, We'll wait, We'll
Speaker 7: extra couple of weeks. We need you in October. You know,
Speaker 7: we don't really care about the regular season. We're gonna
Speaker 7: get there anyway. We're so good, but we want to
Speaker 7: peak in October. Like that's a plan that they do
Speaker 7: and it works, and it worked. And to watch those
Speaker 7: four pitchers sweet Milwaukee, let me tell you this, if
Speaker 7: they were facing the twenty seven Yankees, the forty six
Speaker 7: Red Sox, the ninety eight Yankees, the seventy five Reds,
Speaker 7: they would have swipped them to Okay, we have never
Speaker 7: seen four starters dominate ever in the postseason the way
Speaker 7: they've dominated four consecutive games, and did Dave Roberts credit
Speaker 7: it wasn't a quick cook on any of them. Yes,
Speaker 7: stay in the snell eate any He's no problem, only
Speaker 7: faced twenty four batters. Best postseason start we've seen since
Speaker 7: Holladay through the no hitter or maybe Linsenham's fourteen strikeout game.
Speaker 7: I mean, are you kidding me? Like it was? It was?
Speaker 7: So if you're a Dodger fan, you should be giddy because,
Speaker 7: as I asked Dave Roberts, is this the best Dodger
Speaker 7: team you have ever managed? He's been there ten years. Oh, yes,
Speaker 7: absolutely it is. I both agree with Dave Roberts. This
Speaker 7: is one of the greatest teams. And I want everyone
Speaker 7: to understand this is a different team in October than
Speaker 7: we saw in the regular season. This team is one
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty win This team is special, and I
Speaker 7: feel sorry tonight because whoever gets to celebrate, whether it's
Speaker 7: Toronto or Seattle, whoever gets to celebrate will then be
Speaker 7: eliminated in five games in the next round.
Speaker 5: So then I guess you don't share, because the only concern, really,
Speaker 5: Jim was the bullpen, Like, hey, you're gonna be in
Speaker 5: one of these tight games, it's gonna bite you. We
Speaker 5: saw it in that game one against Milwaukee where it
Speaker 5: almost got him trying and gets you know, a chase
Speaker 5: on a high strike outside of the zone that would
Speaker 5: have made things real interesting. That's not a concern for
Speaker 5: you at all against the Toronto team. That's see if
Speaker 5: that's the team that comes down here that they end
Speaker 5: up tangling with with all that offense they have, still
Speaker 5: the starter's just too dominant. Because it felt like we
Speaker 5: got away from that for a while, right like, oh,
Speaker 5: you better have a really good bullpen. It's not so
Speaker 5: much starting pitching anymore. You gotta have the bullpen to
Speaker 5: close these things out.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So now you had a week off and now
Speaker 7: we're just going to ride the starters. We put Zayer
Speaker 7: spent all that money on the starting rotation for this.
Speaker 7: This is it. We're not protecting them anymore. It's not
Speaker 7: the regular season where you're going five. You're going six
Speaker 7: and we're going to save you for October. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 7: we've already done all the saving. Now the pedals of
Speaker 7: the metal. Now you guys go deep because our weakness,
Speaker 7: which is the bullpen, we're going to eradicate because we're
Speaker 7: not gonna let relievers pitch. So we'll let the Sake
Speaker 7: close the ninth. You know, we'll let try and and
Speaker 7: you know, maybe set up or close. We'll let Vessie.
Speaker 7: We're happy with those three. If we have to use
Speaker 7: band and dryer, it's okay. You know, I'll try to
Speaker 7: get Kersharl blow out if I can, just so the
Speaker 7: fans can say, go buy one more time. But no,
Speaker 7: this series is going to be the same thing as
Speaker 7: the other one. You're gonna you're gonna ask snow. You
Speaker 7: haven't to glass and elan Otani to run the table,
Speaker 7: which they're capable of doing. Again. I figure probably in
Speaker 7: the next round they lose one, just because teams lose
Speaker 7: even if you're great. But I just expect them to
Speaker 7: pitch deep and so they're not gonna ask much from
Speaker 7: the bullpen. The bullpen certainly won't be tired like the
Speaker 7: Blue Jays or Mariners bullpen, which is gonna be totally
Speaker 7: exhausted because all they've done is pitch inning after inning.
Speaker 7: Dodgers are set up exactly the way they want to
Speaker 7: be set up. It couldn't You couldn't start a World
Speaker 7: Series with any major League team that I can remember
Speaker 7: in twenty five years in a better position than the
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Dodgers are right now.
Speaker 5: It's been wild to watch, and really the bullpen thing
Speaker 5: was sort of fixed with the Sasaki and watching how
Speaker 5: dominant he was closing games out, specifically that three inning
Speaker 5: stint against Philly when when he hasn't outing?
Speaker 2: When when when.
Speaker 5: You're a GM as you were Jim and you see
Speaker 5: someone have an outing like he did in Game one,
Speaker 5: then you're trying to figure out, Okay, what was it?
Speaker 5: Well was working before? You have such a limited sample
Speaker 5: size from this guy in that particular role, Like how
Speaker 5: deep do you have to go? Is it just a
Speaker 5: conversation with the picture, like what are you guys doing
Speaker 5: to try to make sure that the next time you
Speaker 5: send him out it looks like it did every other
Speaker 5: time as opposed to that one hiccup.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't know. And I feel better if Trining
Speaker 7: is behind him to have plan be ready, right, But
Speaker 7: I think you got a plan be ready. I don't
Speaker 7: think it's a sure thing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: The thing he's so different than Otani and Yamamoto. Otani
Speaker 7: and Yamamoto are really tough, right, competitors. I mean, they
Speaker 7: compete at the highest level. Sisaki is not. But as
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts, the manager told me last week, he's learning
Speaker 7: to be tough or he's getting tough. We're watching him
Speaker 7: get tough right now. I mean, this is the guy
Speaker 7: that battled all year along with the impingement, and then
Speaker 7: he went down. He didn't have any velocity, and then
Speaker 7: he got with the drive line guy, and then all
Speaker 7: of a sudden the VLO got there. And now he's
Speaker 7: peaking at the right time in the biggest moments. Throwing
Speaker 7: friget one hundred and four with a split finger, by
Speaker 7: the way, that I think the forkball, modest foot thing
Speaker 7: that you just can't hit when it's in the zone
Speaker 7: because it just tumbles and I don't care who you
Speaker 7: are not going to hit it. So for him, it's
Speaker 7: only about command and control. Throw strikes. If he throws strikes,
Speaker 7: he's going to get the job done because the stuff
Speaker 7: screams it one hundred and four with a forkball like
Speaker 7: that or split finger, he calls it like that. You're
Speaker 7: not going to hit it. Just put in the zone.
Speaker 7: The only thing that worries you if he gets behind
Speaker 7: and he walks a guy or walks two guys, hits
Speaker 7: a batter that you know, that's when you can get
Speaker 7: in trouble. So that would be my only concern that
Speaker 7: I have. But that's why you've got to have, you know,
Speaker 7: people to back them up.
Speaker 4: What about the great Jim Bowden joining us right now
Speaker 4: MLB Radio and of course the athletic a great GM
Speaker 4: and a man of organized thought. You have a better
Speaker 4: perspective than most on this. What about this narrative that
Speaker 4: we're hearing now from of course from out of town,
Speaker 4: but that the Dodgers are ruining baseball and they've taken
Speaker 4: advantage of something that others can't. What what do you
Speaker 4: make of that?
Speaker 7: I make that they're doing everything that I would have
Speaker 7: wanted to do in life, and every fan should think
Speaker 7: the same way. I want to have one of the
Speaker 7: highest payrolls. I want to be able to get the
Speaker 7: best players in the world in the same place. I
Speaker 7: want to be able to win games, win World championships.
Speaker 7: That's what I want. The Dodgers have done everything right
Speaker 7: with the money they have. The Mets have a higher payroll.
Speaker 7: How are they doing? Oh, I didn't even see him
Speaker 7: in the postseason, did you where were they they got
Speaker 7: all the money? Yeah, they don't know.
Speaker 3: Where to be found, are they?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Right? Aren't they the ones that gave Soto seven
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty five million dollars? You know, you look
Speaker 7: at Otani, they gave him four hundred people talk about
Speaker 7: seven hundred. Next present value was four hundred and by
Speaker 7: the way, they made that up because they're smarter than
Speaker 7: everybody else. They've already sold marketing deals. He's paid for already.
Speaker 7: They knew what they were doing. Sorry, if they know
Speaker 7: how to operate, you know, I mean, let's Mark Walter
Speaker 7: standcasts and they know what they're doing. They're crushing everybody
Speaker 7: in the in the business room, in the boardroom, on
Speaker 7: the field. They make great decisions. And look at their team.
Speaker 7: Hall of Famer Freeman, Hall of Famer, future Bets, Hall
Speaker 7: of Famerite, future oh Toni, Hall of Famer, future Kershaw,
Speaker 7: And what kind.
Speaker 3: Of people are they?
Speaker 7: You go to that club? These are the greatest guys.
Speaker 7: I mean, how about this team that we've been covering
Speaker 7: that's one one of the thirteen consecutive divisional titles. And
Speaker 7: we go and interview all these guys for all the games,
Speaker 7: and they're exactly the same as they were when this
Speaker 7: whole thing started. Like you know, they're not too big
Speaker 7: for the media or whatever, you know, but Mookie Bets
Speaker 7: and Freddie still take the time like it's just an
Speaker 7: incredible group of human beings. Here. Here's the other thing
Speaker 7: that stood out to me, how hard they work before games,
Speaker 7: before every single game. And by the way, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 7: and Mookie Bets are always the first two out there,
Speaker 7: and they work harder than anybody on the field, any kid,
Speaker 7: any other That's what I've witnessed. Last year, I watched
Speaker 7: Aaron Judge and John Carlos Stanton do it for the Yankees,
Speaker 7: and I was really impressed because I'm always the first
Speaker 7: one of the park and I like to see guys
Speaker 7: at work. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Bets, Max Muncie, kk
Speaker 7: Hernandez all these guys. They work so hard on fundamentals,
Speaker 7: so hard on ground balls, range, speed, hitting the cutoff man.
Speaker 7: When these games play, they don't make mistakes. They throw
Speaker 7: to the right base, they take the extra base base
Speaker 7: running wise, they make but Munsey's played at the plate.
Speaker 7: It was unbelievable that the quick dog to his left
Speaker 7: turn and the quick throw Mookie Bess's range play. There
Speaker 7: was right kk Hernandez's throw to first base like and
Speaker 7: if you look away from the ball, look away from
Speaker 7: the play, all their guys are in the right place
Speaker 7: at the right time, ready to do the right thing.
Speaker 7: This is a dead serious team that's focused. They don't
Speaker 7: take for granted what they're getting paid or how many
Speaker 7: games they've won. They're so focused on the field, but
Speaker 7: they're going to deserve everything they've gotten and everything they're
Speaker 7: about to get.
Speaker 5: Last thing for you, Jim, you mentioned it and what
Speaker 5: you expect to see in the World Series when they
Speaker 5: continue this incredible eight and one run that they're on
Speaker 5: right now. You said the twenty seven Yankees. I think
Speaker 5: it's typically you know, either what twenty seven Yankees ninety
Speaker 5: eight Yankees has always brought up, even though those teams
Speaker 5: had dominant regular seasons. Even without a dominant regular season,
Speaker 5: I think it was the fifth best record over the
Speaker 5: course of the regular season. Do you think this still
Speaker 5: gets into the conversation as the greatest baseball team ever assembled.
Speaker 7: Greatest October team that I've seen. I mean, that's that's all.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm going to go by. You know that. Look,
Speaker 7: baseball is now two different seasons. There's a regular season
Speaker 7: and there's October. You know this rotation that they're sending
Speaker 7: out there is MADDX Glavin Smolts, right, I mean this
Speaker 7: is dominant. I mean, unfortunately we're not still talking about
Speaker 7: Blake Snell's first start that was unbelievable. And in three
Speaker 7: starts in the postseason. Do you realize in twenty one
Speaker 7: of the things he's given up six hits and there's
Speaker 7: an eight six cra do you realize that Tyler Glass.
Speaker 7: Now in the three times we've seen, which includes two starts,
Speaker 7: the dra's six, you have my motors three starts, the era's
Speaker 7: one to eight. So Sockey's won one coming out of
Speaker 7: the in and we just saw what O'taoni did. Like, No,
Speaker 7: this is dominant, This is dominant stuff. This is stuff elite.
Speaker 7: You know, all the pictures this day and age have
Speaker 7: better stuff than in any other generation by far, higher velocity,
Speaker 7: better breaks, better pitch sequencing, better mechanics, more deception than
Speaker 7: we've ever seen. Right, I mean the knowledge is off
Speaker 7: the charts. It's incredible what this game has become. But
Speaker 7: right now, what the Dodgers have is just it belongs
Speaker 7: with the best of all time. And I hope Dodger
Speaker 7: fans really enjoy this little run right here, because they
Speaker 7: absolutely deserve it and should embrace it and boise it fun.
Speaker 4: It's fun to talk to you, the great Jim Bowden
Speaker 4: and fight on to the great Chad. We appreciate you,
Speaker 4: and we'll be listening on MLB Radio and reading in
Speaker 4: the Athletic and maybe we'll see you out there for
Speaker 4: the World Series doing your job again, and you'll have
Speaker 4: another sweet sweet Valure sweatsuit on.
Speaker 3: I know you got more than one of those.
Speaker 7: Not belore Lord. I appreciate you guys that you have
Speaker 7: a good one je hoodie, but love you guys.
Speaker 2: We'll see you there you go.
Speaker 3: I know Valora when I see it, brother Valora.
Speaker 4: Uh, we'll be right back. We got two plus more
Speaker 4: hours of great sports talk on a five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Hello, PMS listener. Did you know AM five seventy LA
Speaker 1: Sports has a wide range of LA sports podcasts. There's
Speaker 1: Rogan and Rodney. That one is my favorite, Dodger Talk
Speaker 1: with David Vasse, the Dodger podcast of record, Clipper Talk
Speaker 1: without a Musk follow us all and many more. Just
Speaker 1: go to AM five seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5: The Petrosen Money Show. Modello it is not a meets
Speaker 5: you A lot of it is not made with Modello.
Speaker 5: A reward for those with a fighting spirit. Modello The
Speaker 5: Mark of a Fighter had some Odello folks in the
Speaker 5: on Friday. It was wonderful to see them, young ladies
Speaker 5: celebrating their twenty first pack.
Speaker 4: I got a little awkward because the Asahi people were
Speaker 4: there too, and Tim Kates reps Asahi when we're not
Speaker 4: around a lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 5: So we got the early We had something for the
Speaker 5: early people. We did because Modella was there, bright and early.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, but we also had to bodyguard the MODELO from
Speaker 4: the Asahi right because everybody knows Japan and Mexico not friends.
Speaker 4: So kind of an ugly side story to what was
Speaker 4: going on, you know, where everybody was really excited about
Speaker 4: what the Dodgers did. Some people blamed Jim Bowden for
Speaker 4: being nonchalant like us.
Speaker 5: He was a little dismissive, like whatever, man four maybe
Speaker 5: five games, I guess you lose one. I know that
Speaker 5: can make people a lot, a little.
Speaker 4: Bit nervous, little bit. Matt the Nonchalant's there. It is
Speaker 4: time for some text.
Speaker 7: The secret.
Speaker 3: Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers. We
Speaker 3: make it easy. The text us up fine, brought to
Speaker 3: you by your so called Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 4: When I was describing the Cotton Bowl that my brother
Speaker 4: played in in ninety five, that would.
Speaker 3: Be corrections and retractions.
Speaker 4: Zach Thomas the linebacker, not Zach Johnson. Zack Johnson is
Speaker 4: a guy from my high school that married Chrissy Clayton
Speaker 4: and they moved to Texas. So totally different guy. Not
Speaker 4: a line He's a Texas guy. Also a Texas guy.
Speaker 4: But you know one's a Hall of Fame linebacker. The
Speaker 4: others had looked like a basketball and he married the
Speaker 4: hottest chicken school. All right, Uh, give us the feel
Speaker 4: good story. We need, get Kim Taints off his ass
Speaker 4: and hit us with a Coach Skipper interview. Look, we'll
Speaker 4: get Tim Skipper on if they go to Ohio State
Speaker 4: and win.
Speaker 3: But uh or Indiana, Indiana.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going big noon, Matt.
Speaker 4: It's the big new so uh we had a feel
Speaker 4: good interview last week with Rick new Heizel, and the
Speaker 4: first thing he did was come on and give credit
Speaker 4: to Tim Skipper. I mean, am I am I the
Speaker 4: only one around here that pays attention.
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you a question. Is it a
Speaker 2: great day to be alive and be a Bruin?
Speaker 3: I believe it is.
Speaker 2: It's a great day, said, is it a great day
Speaker 2: to be alive and be a b.
Speaker 3: Fours up?
Speaker 2: Scoops got deep beat.
Speaker 3: We're having the time of their lives over there.
Speaker 4: Signetti said it. We're not playing that same team. This
Speaker 4: is a three and oh team, not the team that
Speaker 4: lost to New Mexico. That's right, This says. We don't
Speaker 4: even watch the TBS post game around here. We switch
Speaker 4: it to Spectrum and watch Jay Harren nomar. Yeah. But
Speaker 4: the one good thing about TBS is you can throw
Speaker 4: that on and you're not going to see you know,
Speaker 4: you're not going to see hornstraw. But if you throw
Speaker 4: it on.
Speaker 5: The stick, you might see it.
Speaker 2: You might see that clowns.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: This says clearly the fix is in by MLB to
Speaker 4: recrown the Dodgers. I mean, my god, they have days
Speaker 4: off before the series started, they have days off between
Speaker 4: all the playoffs, and now they've got a full week
Speaker 4: off before the World Series starts. I mean, it's so
Speaker 4: obvious that the Dodgers are being babied in the playoffs
Speaker 4: and it's sickening, nauseating to watch. Sickening your thoughts.
Speaker 5: Matt Well, I think the the rules supply for each team,
Speaker 5: and I would say compared to the NBA, outside of
Speaker 5: this odd four days between Game seven of the CS
Speaker 5: and the swept everybody, Yeah, I feel like they've been moving.
Speaker 5: You know, it's been pretty experiment. You would have had
Speaker 5: a game five back to back to back. Then they
Speaker 5: had to go to babied in the playoffs. They had
Speaker 5: to go to Philly, Yeah, to start. I don't get it, man,
Speaker 5: This is not the NBA, where Game one of a
Speaker 5: playoff series is on a Friday, Game two was on
Speaker 5: a Monday, Game three is on a Thursday. They really
Speaker 5: stretch arms strong.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: History is not on the Dodgers side.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 9: Yeah, two thousand and seven Rockies twenty twelve Tigers both
Speaker 9: lost in the World Series after sweeping their opponents in
Speaker 9: the league Championship Series and then having eight days off
Speaker 9: for the Rockies and five days off of the Tigers.
Speaker 3: That's a stupid stat. Stupid.
Speaker 2: We had a question for you.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: Any of those teams have Blake Snell start in game one.
Speaker 5: Any of those teams have Yoshinoba Yemo Motor starting game two.
Speaker 3: Oh, here's how Kates feels.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tyler Glass now game three. He's our guys now,
Speaker 5: Oh we love them?
Speaker 3: Said another matter.
Speaker 2: Ever, tools ever, best guy ever.
Speaker 3: Tortilla.
Speaker 4: This says, when the steaks are high, the tortillas will fly.
Speaker 4: And did you know that tortillas still fly UCSB soccer games.
Speaker 3: Let's go gauchos. I did not know that.
Speaker 5: Hey, man, listen, the steaks are so high here. I
Speaker 5: need you guys just throwing the tortillas. Man, this stakes
Speaker 5: are so high here Texas Tech. I need y'all to
Speaker 5: stop throwing them tortillas.
Speaker 3: Pee.
Speaker 4: Catching up on the podcast, regarding the card that Smell
Speaker 4: pulls out. I think it's a picture of Assay. Snell
Speaker 4: pulls it out, looks at it and says, you're the
Speaker 4: only one that believed in me. Dog, I won't let
Speaker 4: you down. Then he kisses it and puts it back
Speaker 4: in his pocket. We're giving the day off today because
Speaker 4: it's mortal enemy. Jim Odin was on and Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: We're hoping he just it misses him. You know it
Speaker 5: didn't like uh, son of a bitch. But we'll be
Speaker 5: back with more great sports talk.
Speaker 4: We have a flip top story of the day headed
Speaker 4: your way about USC Notre Dame. If you're interested in that,
Speaker 4: I think you should be because it's something that I'm
Speaker 4: very passionate about, so much so that I attacked our
Speaker 4: colleague Colin Cowherd when I got home from Colin football
Speaker 4: games on Saturday. I called him a waker something like that.
Speaker 9: Did Colin even talk about it today? Or you just
Speaker 9: spend the entire three hours talking about Cayleb. Williams is
Speaker 9: the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was too busy with the shammy on Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4: Taintchch Shamy Shamy, Samy, Shamy, sham sham Shamy. Forget about
Speaker 4: the fence coming in here to clean up Chicago. I
Speaker 4: need him to clean up Caleb Williams balls, wash his
Speaker 4: taints out. We'll be right back with more and penches
Speaker 4: some money. I didn't find semity Las
