Mister unlimited. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.040 So go crazy kids, as they would say, I feel 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.080 like that's one that you buy. You're like, well, you know, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.720 we use it four times and it pays for itself, 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.360 and then you go your second time and you're like, 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.400 I can't take this place. Well, they're not coming back 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.280 to her day after Ice suffered from terrible batchulism. Right, 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.320 the kids under fourteen needs somebody twenty one or older. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.880 So consider that kids under two are free and throw 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.520 your baby right down the slide. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.920 Your mom's gonna catch you. Now she's done at the bottom, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.719 But this twisting, turning plastic mass in between me and her, 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:21.760 it's gonna be all You. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.240 Howl at the moon slide like the wind and suck 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:31.600 back a white cloth.

If we're in southern California and it's 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.400 like sunny almost ninety percent of the time, why build 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.400 an indoor water park? Why not just have an outdoor 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.640 water park attached to a hotel. It's not Minnesota, it's 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.640 not Wisconsin where they have these indoor ones. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.839 Hey, you know what you ask stupid questions like that, 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.479 I'm on the hunt, I'm after you. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.160 It's a very interesting point you bring up too. 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.680 I don't know if it's related at all, but I 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.400 saw a coyote jogging straight down my street today. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.560 The coyotes are extreme. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:03.800 He didn't care at all. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.479 They are rolling deep. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.440 Oh, I have a question for you, Matt. Yeah, let's 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.680 say I pay Justin Bieber a million dollars to do 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:17.080 a Coachella appearance, right, that's what his whatever is his 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.520 appearance fee? Does he have to pay to put on 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.800 the show, like the production costs and all that, or 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:29.440 does that? Does the the the festival cover that too? 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.680 I think to be a little technical it sounds stupid, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.760 but I guess it just depends on what's the back line. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.000 If it's already all there and you don't have to 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.520 have anything else, If it's all provided, which I assume 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:40.880 it is. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.960 Well, what if I'm like Resnor dude, and I got 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.080 like five hundred dancers, I gotta buy cost. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.440 Of paying all? Yeah, you're paying whoever you bring, you 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.760 are paying, But like the all of that, you don't 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.599 have to pay a percentage of that. Coachella is taking care. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000 Of all of it. Yeah, the speakers and all, Yeah. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.000 That's all taking So it's just. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.880 I've got to pay my own dancers. Yeah, you gotta pay. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.520 Like if he brought a giant TV to play them 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.760 YouTube videos and that wasn't already there, then he's got 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.440 to pay for that. But I assume the video screen 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.600 is already there and it's used to see him there 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.160 on your screen, see him there on their screen. I 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:15.520 appreciate that time. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.280 For the number of the day, here's my number, number 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:19.720 of the days. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.720 Number of the day is seven. Uh So, now I 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:28.480 realized my mistake. Courtesy of this USA Today article about 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:33.160 the new Laze potato chips honoring the World Cup and 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.720 the flavors recognizing some of the great World Cup countries 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.920 that will make their way to our grocery store shelves. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:48.080 Argentinian style steak with Jimmy churry lays, Brazilian garlic sauce lays, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:56.600 wavy lays, French onion soup lays. Now, Canada I don't 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.800 think of as a World Cup powerhouse, but they do 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:07.760 have their own chip, maple, caramel lays, Oh, Mexican taco lays, 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.680 Portuguese charizo and onion lays. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.440 I thought that was a linguisa, the Portuguese sausage. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.480 Yeah, perhaps, but this has it combined smoky choriso, the 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:27.600 metal sweetness of silk onion. And then these pee English 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.400 bangers and mash. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.200 Oh the full of rasch Marcazi full. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.520 I mean English. And then I realized the mistake I 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.160 made when I did the crossover, you know, the Ruffles 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:42.880 Cool Ranch and the Doritos, cheddar cheese and sour cream. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.959 I never was able to find them in the grocery stores. Well, 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:50.319 there's a website called snacks dot com where you can 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.120 buy all of these chips and they'll ship them to you, 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.280 so you don't have to worry about whether or not 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.800 your grocery store is going to get their allotment.

He 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.200 did the same to Dino Evil. And now it's time 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:49.880 for David Vasse of the Dodgers with an inside look 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.720 at the Dodgers. This is the Vasse Report with David Vasse. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.880 And that was when Dave was in Colorado. Now he's 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.760 in San Francisco as a human weather vein. Tell us 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.000 what's going on out there, Dave? What a scene? 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.480 Yeah, yeah, you could keep your dinner reservations. Tonight, guys, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.040 game will be played. The rain stopped overnight. The Dodgers 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.000 arrived at their team hotel at two am this morning. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.400 That you too, first pitch. Yeah, that's right, but I 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.640 don't play, so it doesn't matter. Six forty five first 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.400 pitch on time. So yeah, you guys could keep your 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.640 reservations and enjoy the rest of your evening. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.440 Big night. Yesterday day for Miguel Rojas. I remember you 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.559 telling us as a trade target for Mickey Ross, probably 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.640 years maybe three years before he eventually arrived. What do 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.719 you think the Dodgers thought they were getting when they 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.440 brought him on and ultimately what they did get and 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.520 what he kind of has turned into these few years 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:49.360 he's been with the club. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.120 Yeah, remember who the Dodgers traded to the Marlins for 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.840 Miguel Rojas, jacob Amaya, who was not known for his offense. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.480 He was another defensive type shortstop. But what the Dodgers 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.200 were looking for from Rojas, they start to see signs 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.679 of him showing more fool power because he was coming 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.760 off wrist surgery the year before, and they were looking 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.320 for veteran leadership, a guy that would be happy with 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.240 this role, to be able to play not every day, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.720 but understand it. And they wanted to bring in a 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:24.400 guy that has some leadership qualities, and he has exceeded 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.520 all those expectations because nobody thought he would have this 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.680 type of impact on the team and certainly not become 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.920 a legacy player after one of the biggest home runs 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.320 in Dodger history in the World Series last year. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.080 Hell, they're probably going to have to make him the 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.440 next manager. The great David Vasse is our guest, and 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.680 nobody does it better. All over it. On this road 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.880 trip to Colorado now and San Francisco, you hear the 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.280 hustle and the bustle of the baseball world behind him. 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.600 Speaking of leadership qualities, Dave, Freddy Freeman is back now. 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.440 Freddie Freeman is back. He is going to be in 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.440 the starting lineup tonight for the Dogs. He and his wife, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.800 Chelsea welcomed the arrival of their fourth child, their first daughter, 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:11.360 and good the baby girl's middle name is Rosemary, to 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.120 honor Freddie's mother. So that's really nice touch and obviously 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:20.440 sentimental to the Freeman family. So unfortunately for Tim Kats 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.680 and all the other social media Dodger fans out there, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.400 Ryan Ward has been optioned to Triple A Oklahoma City. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.000 Ah well, that just puts him back on the farm. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.080 Report for the next Dodger talk with Tim Kate. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.920 Now there's a way to catch there we go, Dave. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.920 We talked about Dalton Rushing the other day, and of 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.840 course a nice benevolent action that you first reported about 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.080 him turning over the start at first base to Ryan 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.000 Ward with his family in town and all that, but 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.320 what did you Obviously, the bat was great, but what 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.200 did you make of how rushing looked man in first base? 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.600 He looked great. No, really tough plays there, but I 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.160 mean he made one nice play early in the game 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.480 with the infield in runner at third base less than 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.520 two outs and he was able to field it cleanly, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.560 throw a strike to Will Smith and they got that 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.640 runner in a pickle and threw him out. So that 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.440 was a good test. And look, this is going to 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.200 be one of the interesting storylines of the rest of 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.840 the summer. The Dodgers have Freddy Freeman, who's thirty six 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.560 years old when he plays. I mean, the Dodgers are 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.600 in the middle of thirteen in a row right now. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.480 I know Freddy just left the team to be on 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.280 paternity list, but if he was here the entire time, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.479 playing four games at coursefield is not easy on anybody, 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.240 and certainly not on a thirty six year old. So 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.880 I'm curious to see if Dave Roberts can convince Freddie 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.400 Freeman to take days off when the Dodgers are in 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.840 these type of stretches of thirteen in a row, nineteen 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.080 in a row. Because Dalton rushing. You know, you never 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.560 know he might be the heir apparent at first base. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.680 Whenever Freddy calls it a Dodger career. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.200 The one and only David Vassey is our guest, and 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.640 you hear him from him first the Dalton rush stuff 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:06.639 to Oscar Hernandez's elbow pad. Everything comes through Dave, usually 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:11.160 about ten days earlier than everybody else, because, as we say. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.960 Picle picked it up today. What yeah, what the recycle 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.920 not the athletic, it's the recycled. They recycle all our news. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.480 Yeah, yeah, day you get them. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.760 Second second, second city of a road trip. Dave gets 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:28.240 pretty salty. H Dave tell us a lot of young 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.280 guys are out there making a lot of contributions. Does it? 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.480 Does it? Is this the future of the Dodgers that 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.880 we're seeing out there, or is it just the circumstance 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:39.480 of this week? 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.159 Like you said, it's the circumstance of the week. But 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.119 it's been an extended period of time where you know, 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.600 with Mookie bets beIN on the injured list, has On 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.760 Kim's getting a lot of play at shortstop with Tommy 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.280 Edmand on the il, Alex Frielan's been playing nice defense 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.919 at second base, and Dave Roberts told me in Denver 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.400 that's the number one ask the Dodgers had in Freeland 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.560 is make defense to your priority, and he certainly has. 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.879 So you're seeing the depth of the organization. We always 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.760 talk about the pitching depth, but to start the year, 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.800 the Dodgers' position player depth has really shined, and they're 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.720 not just out there feeling a spot. They're actually being 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.080 a big part of this offense and big part of 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.320 being the number one defense in all a Major League baseball. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.160 So I think it goes back to when you ask 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.240 what the difference is between the Dodgers, the Mets and 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.919 everybody else. Is their farm system and the organizational depth 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:37.280 they have, whether it's on the forty man roster with 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.439 the pitching or with their position players like Kim and 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.919 Freeland and Ryan Ward and Dalton Rushing, that is the 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.880 biggest difference. It's, like I've said so many times, it's 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.680 so lazy to just say the Dodgers have a high payroll. 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.360 They would not be this successful for this long if 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:54.639 it was just about the money. 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.280 Dave, I'm sure you've been asked, but we haven't asked you. 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.040 So I'll ask. You know, they've won six in a 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.320 row and he's got some wind in his jaws. But 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.680 I don't think Craig Council was asked directly about Otani 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.360 and the rule that allows the Dodgers to have fourteen pitchers. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.080 But they're coming to town on Friday, so an interesting 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.879 time for him to bitch and moan after leaving Milwaukee 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:18.800 and Pat Murphy turned him into one of the best 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.320 teams in all of baseball? Like, what did you make him? 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:21.639 Designed? 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.480 To take a shot at the Dodgers for carrying an 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.920 extra pitcher because they got Otani. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.119 Yeah, I talked about this on Dodger Talk on Saturday 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:33.360 after the game because failed GM Jim Bowden actually tweeted 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.720 about this, and I'm wondering if somebody pose that to 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.000 Craig Council and he answered the question, and you're right, 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.560 it's coming out of the blue. But what does Craig 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.840 Council or anybody else want the Dodgers to do. Otani 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.040 doesn't pitch every game. He pitches once a week. So 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.040 are you saying the Dodgers should only have twelve pitchers 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.600 on the days that Otani is just the DH and 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.639 than what you know he's activated as the thirteenth pitcher. 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.879 It doesn't make sense and there's no solution because he 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.320 is so unique, and as Dave Roberts said after the 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.239 game yesterday, he's unique and he's an exceptional player and 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.680 there's nobody like him. And that's the advantage the Angels had. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.879 That's the advantage any other team that signed Otani would 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.920 have had of having an extra pitcher on certain days 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.240 that he starts. So it's it sounds like sour grapes. 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:28.800 Wow. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.399 And he should just worry about his last place Cubs 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.120 more than he should worry about any sort of rule changes. 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.680 That's where the that's why the Angels won like three 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.560 straight championships with Otania. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.080 What I mean, what is the solution? 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:44.480 What? 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.679 What? What are these people's solution that the Dodgers should 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:51.920 taxi a pitcher on the days that Otani's not pitching 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.440 and then deactivate that pitcher. I mean, I guess we 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.320 could go to the NHL route, But that's that's part 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.239 of how great of a player and how unique he 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.080 is that you have to have these type of designations 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.399 on a forty man roster as a two way player. 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.959 Dave, will you be in town in time to see 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.120 Blake Snell pitch for the Tower Buzzers. 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.960 I believe it's gonna be in San Jose. That's where 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.960 he's pitching. He's pitching for Ontario in San Jose, so 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.639 maybe he'll he'll try to catch a ride on the 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:26.560 Dodger charter on the way back to La. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:28.919 So will you go to San Jose to watch him? 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:30.840 Or will you cover the Dodgers? What are you gonna do? 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:32.359 Dave pick a lane. 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:35.840 No, No, I'm staying with the Dodgers. I'm not sure 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.440 if he if he drove from Coachella to San Jose, 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:39.960 he'll be there. 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.639 Yeah, right up the grapevine. 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.640 Busy, busy there, man in the press room. 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.679 Yeah, it's popping off. Dave, have fun out there in 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.159 San Francisco and we'll talk to you. 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:55.159 Thanks for making time, Okay, guys, thanks, David. 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.480
