Speaker 4: new hip joint that everyone's trying to get into and
Speaker 4: it's very hard. And he said he'd make a call
Speaker 4: if Don and I wanted to pop down there. The
Speaker 4: problem is with the two sessions, Like I'm in there early,
Speaker 4: Don's going to be there all night. He's not going
Speaker 4: to get out of there until probably.
Speaker 2: Two ships, two ships.
Speaker 4: Eleven o'clock two ships. You know, local time, I think
Speaker 4: because I don't believe. I don't know if they have
Speaker 4: him on the games or I think he's doing studio again.
Speaker 6: Right, No, he's calling games this time. Oh yeah, well
Speaker 6: there we go. I think he actually has got the
Speaker 6: morning sessions on Thursday Friday.
Speaker 2: Hell paint the town. Since Running Scared with Billy Crystal
Speaker 2: and Gregory Eines, there be such buddy camaraderie on the
Speaker 2: streets of Chicago. Oh sweet, shut hello me. You won't

Speaker 4: I'm always gonna get rejected.
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to hang out with anyone.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: It is like so, it's like it's tough. It's like,
Speaker 4: do I really want to put myself out there and
Speaker 4: then get rejected?
Speaker 5: Not really? If you offer to pay though he's in,
Speaker 5: I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: Well, we've reached him an impact.
Speaker 5: He's making considerably more per game than I am.
Speaker 2: It's look at that. Wow, Uh, might you bring your
Speaker 2: your invoices for how much you're making? We gotta compare it.
Speaker 5: So I was gonna pick this up here.
Speaker 2: Well, all right, it's time for the word of the day.

Speaker 2: ninth that was going to pop off a week from today.
Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks March sixteenth, Magic City Strip Club in arena promotion.
Speaker 2: What are they gonna do with the sweatshirts? What are
Speaker 2: they gonna do with a cross promotional gear? What's tip
Speaker 2: gonna do? T I's get.
Speaker 5: To find its way to Haiti? For the children, For
Speaker 5: the children.
Speaker 2: The NBA announced it's canceled the Hawks in game promotion
Speaker 2: with Magic City, the strip club that Matt went to
Speaker 2: just for the wings, thinking that there was a stand outside.
Speaker 5: Of the strip club true story that served.
Speaker 2: Only the wings. He was mistaken, went into the strip
Speaker 2: club and never ended up getting the wing.
Speaker 5: No, it's exactly right. But I did see Lou Williams
Speaker 5: at the end of the bar.
Speaker 2: Having wings have wings Elemon Peppers. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said,
Speaker 2: we have heard significant concerns from a broad array of
Speaker 2: league states, including fans, partners, and employees, and there's a
Speaker 2: full statement about how when they found out, they were like, no,
Speaker 2: we're not let this happen. So there you go. We
Speaker 2: thought that they would cancel it, and they did. But
Speaker 2: what about the culture in Atlanta? What about the culture?
Speaker 5: Stefanski's going to bring all that culture to the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 2: And now you get you can't go get the wings
Speaker 2: in a non strip club environment like Matt wanted to originally.
Speaker 2: They're still only available at the Magic City. All right,
Speaker 2: it's time for the Number of the day. Here's my number.
Speaker 2: Number of the day.
Speaker 4: Number is one in ten. I'm a little concerned now.
Speaker 4: Perdc dot gov, about one out of every ten people
Speaker 4: who get sick with Lesionnaire's disease will die due to
Speaker 4: complications from their illness.
Speaker 2: Jesus.
Speaker 4: For those who get Lesionnaires during a state of healthcare facility,
Speaker 4: of which I'm not, one out of every four will die.
Speaker 4: It says I got to either take a urine test,
Speaker 4: a laboratory test that will either take a sample of
Speaker 4: my phlegm or they will wash my lungs to determine
Speaker 4: whether or not I have Lesionaire's disease. It does say
Speaker 4: the number one way of contracting. The disease is by
Speaker 4: breathing and mist containing Lesionella bacteria. It is not spread
Speaker 4: person to person, so you guys are square. But it
Speaker 4: does say it doesn't need to be treated damn near immediately,
Speaker 4: and it is as simple as picking up an antibiotic
Speaker 4: that'll knock it out.
Speaker 2: Well, I know I'm square, I'm not even there.
Speaker 4: So and it says it can take two to fourteen
Speaker 4: days to show symptoms. Ah, come on, mad, So do
Speaker 4: I roll the dice?
Speaker 2: Win? Big mama's falling angel.
Speaker 5: S big die of lesions disease?
Speaker 2: That would be walts it all? That would be bad.
Speaker 5: It would be bad.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: I don't want to go down like that.
Speaker 2: No, noires, I was a little I was a little chilly,
Speaker 2: so I went to my roof hot.
Speaker 4: Tub and neglected and died. It was bad hot tub
Speaker 4: maintenance that killed your old man. Girls, I knew I

Speaker 2: Why did you say that to it?
Speaker 1: Kate?

Speaker 2: David Massey will join us next with the latest from
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in Maryvale. Now it's time for the top
Speaker 2: story of the day, the top story of it.
Speaker 5: Free agency.
Speaker 4: The NFL taking command of a Monday in early March
Speaker 4: happens every year. What I don't need the social media
Speaker 4: is that it takes months upon months for teams to
Speaker 4: sort through franchise tags and in house free agents and
Speaker 4: extensions and contracts being reworked. But when it comes to
Speaker 4: external players leaving their former teams for new destinations, you
Speaker 4: can crank through one hundred million dollar plus negotiations in
Speaker 4: sixty minutes. No, you can't, and your snarky tweets indicate
Speaker 4: that you know that it's not possible. So why post
Speaker 4: the message in the first place When it's a rhetorical question.
Speaker 4: The NFL does not care. There has got to be
Speaker 4: a date for the official league year to start in
Speaker 4: order for the contracts and the contract stipulations and when
Speaker 4: players are due money and when they count as a
Speaker 4: roster player and cap hits.
Speaker 2: And sallab smasher, yeah, snash.
Speaker 4: Dead cap money being spread out then because of that,
Speaker 4: because there has to be a start to the league year,
Speaker 4: this dumbass charade exists. Once called legal tampering, now called
Speaker 4: the negotiation period. Yes, snarky tweeter, all of this stuff
Speaker 4: has been discussed for the last month, and the NFL
Speaker 4: doesn't care because they want to own in the case
Speaker 4: today the ninth of March through the fifteenth of March.
Speaker 4: They don't want it to be a twenty four hour picture.
Speaker 4: They want it to be at least a seventy two
Speaker 4: hour picture. So when you start Monday morning all the
Speaker 4: way through Wednesday afternoon, you have had your three days
Speaker 4: of I don't care about the NBA, I don't care
Speaker 4: about the hockey playoff races. I don't care about spring
Speaker 4: training baseball. It is the NFL's world and they will
Speaker 4: decide when the others get to play on their playground
Speaker 4: at the guidance period. Case in point, the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 4: just chose to eat ninety nine million dollars of Tua
Speaker 4: tungo of Iloa's contract. They basically paid the guy one
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty three million dollars. That is not an exaggeration.
Speaker 4: They basically paid Tua one hundred and twenty three million
Speaker 4: dollars to play one season of football for them, a
Speaker 4: season in which he was benched for the final few
Speaker 4: games for a seventh round draft pick in Quinn Eewers.
Speaker 4: That is almost fifty million dollars more than the Marlins payroll.
Speaker 4: The Dolphins are paying tungo of i looa ninety nine
Speaker 4: million dollars to not play for them, to not be
Speaker 4: on their roster, and the Marlins payroll for twenty twenty
Speaker 4: six for all twenty six players is seventy eight million dollars.
Speaker 4: That is the cash cow that the NFL is. So
Speaker 4: before you freak out that the Dolphins gave him, Aleak Willis.
Speaker 2: I am freaked out, Matt. I can't even sleep, man, wow,
Speaker 2: man freaked out. I remember when tank for Tua was
Speaker 2: a thing. Everybody had to fee everybody, almost everybody I
Speaker 2: knew one.
Speaker 4: Hundred and twenty three million dollars for one season, ninety
Speaker 4: nine million dollars to go away, and that same team
Speaker 4: handed sixty million bucks, forty five of it guaranteed to
Speaker 4: a player that was drafted in the third round, cut
Speaker 4: by his initial team, the Titans, and has all of
Speaker 4: six starts under his belt and on his resume. Milik
Speaker 4: Willis will be the new starting quarterback in Miami. Forty
Speaker 4: five million guaranteed, little over sixty total, And that's nothing
Speaker 4: when teams can pay to a ninety nine million or
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray fifty four million dollars to not play. For them,
Speaker 4: who care? It's fake money, and when you make a mistake,
Speaker 4: you eat it, you freak.
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel fake.
Speaker 4: Well for them, it certainly is not fake because I
Speaker 4: see the watches that they're wearing and the cars they
Speaker 4: be driving, and the outfits that they're tunnel walking. So
Speaker 4: it's real money. But I guess in the grand scheme
Speaker 4: of themes things as it impacts the salary crack the
Speaker 4: ability to be competitive.
Speaker 2: When you see that that that ostentatious demeanor of watches
Speaker 2: and cars, it'd be making you speak in an urban manner.
Speaker 4: Every team has missed damn I see the Rams.
Speaker 2: That's a nice outfit.
Speaker 4: With Todd Gurley, they had to eat like fifty million
Speaker 4: bucks the charge, Yeah, they missed.
Speaker 2: With J. C.
Speaker 4: Jackson, they had to eat like forty million bucks. It's
Speaker 4: happened to every team, and it's a reminder that this
Speaker 4: time of year there is reason for hope, for excitement
Speaker 4: for gms and owners who do cut the checks to
Speaker 4: tighten their butts, wondering if they're tens of millions of
Speaker 4: dollars of guaranteed money is going to work out, or
Speaker 4: if they're essentially figuratively going to set it on fire.
Speaker 4: So what do we got? I'll start with a team
Speaker 4: that saw their odds become the favorites to win the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl in twenty twenty seven when it's played at
Speaker 4: so far, the Rams decided the best way to rework
Speaker 4: the only holes on their roster was to raid the
Speaker 4: team that made seven straight AFC Championship games prior to
Speaker 4: last year, won three Super Bowls in five seasons. They
Speaker 4: traded for Trent McDuffie made them the league's highest paid corner,
Speaker 4: a contract in which he tweeted, God us great, damn
Speaker 4: Ridy is highest paid corner on a four year deal.
Speaker 4: They then signed Jalen Watson University of Washington for McDuffie,
Speaker 4: Wazoo for Watson, who was a Ventura College pirate for
Speaker 4: a couple seasons as well. Congratulations to Jalen Watson, a
Speaker 4: former seventh round pick, three years, fifty one million bucks
Speaker 4: from the Rams. Pretty awesome. And that is the thing
Speaker 4: with corners. You get him early, like McDuffie, or like
Speaker 4: Jeff Olkudo who's a third overall pick, and maybe Jeff
Speaker 4: Acuda bus out, maybe Devon Weatherspoon or Sauce Gardner, Derek
Speaker 4: Stingley high first round picks that are awesome, but there
Speaker 4: are plenty a ton of corners that end up kind
Speaker 4: of showing out that are mid round picks, like Tarheed
Speaker 4: Still for the Chargers in the fifth or Jalen Watson
Speaker 4: in the seventh, that are starter level players and elite corners.
Speaker 4: And that's a reminder why teams should be drafting corners
Speaker 4: every year because traits and instincts for that particular position,
Speaker 4: you never know how they're going to show up on
Speaker 4: the football field. The Rams brought back Cam Curl, so
Speaker 4: they are now whole on defense. That is why they
Speaker 4: are co Super Bowl favorites at the odds makers sports
Speaker 4: books with the Seahawks who lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth
Speaker 4: Walker to the Chiefs earlier today, and that's a fine
Speaker 4: development for the Rams. They're NFC West mates San Francisco,
Speaker 4: who also won double dig games and found their way
Speaker 4: into the playoffs. Signed Mike Evans today away from the Buccaneers.
Speaker 4: As for the Bolts, they are at plus sixteen hundred,
Speaker 4: the third lowest odds in the AFC, behind the Bills
Speaker 4: and the Ravens that went up one hundred over the
Speaker 4: weekend as they upgraded their center position with Tyler Biattish,
Speaker 4: added an all Pro fullback, added an All Pro fullback
Speaker 4: and alec Ingold, while bringing back future Hall of Famer
Speaker 4: Khalil Mack, who with his eighteen million dollar deal becomes
Speaker 4: the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. I am
Speaker 4: sure Miles Garrett will blow by that in short order,
Speaker 4: as he is now making over forty million per season.
Speaker 4: As one thing that is apparent for the Chargers and
Speaker 4: this continues from the Tom to LESCo days. Joe Ortiz
Speaker 4: comes from the Ravens. They also practiced a very similar
Speaker 4: approach to free agency. They like their comp picks, they
Speaker 4: don't like to overpay, and the Chargers have always been
Speaker 4: a draft developed resign elite players at the top of
Speaker 4: the market, which they've done with Justin Herbert and Rashaun
Speaker 4: Slater and Derwin James and Joey Bosa and Mike Williams,
Speaker 4: and then guys that aren't elite. They are not going
Speaker 4: to re sign, and they'll let him walk if the
Speaker 4: free agent numbers get a little crazy. Kenneth Murray, Melvin
Speaker 4: Gordon and now at daff Aoway. I'm sure they wanted
Speaker 4: him back, but they probably wanted him back at their number.
Speaker 4: He had zero sacks before he got to LA. He
Speaker 4: gets on a line between Tuley and Khalil Mack in
Speaker 4: those third down packages and he turns it around seven
Speaker 4: and a half sacks in twelve games, then three more
Speaker 4: in the playoff game. He is a very good player,
Speaker 4: but he is now being paid more guaranteed money than
Speaker 4: Aiden Hutchinson got, and he now has an annual salary
Speaker 4: in line with back to back all pro Nick Benito.
Speaker 4: So Ortez will take the cop pick Nick Benino exactly.
Speaker 2: Guys, did he get in some trouble or his partner did.
Speaker 5: Ah, that's a good question. Wasn't Benino or what I
Speaker 5: believe it.
Speaker 2: Was the partner.
Speaker 4: It was the partner. I do think there were things
Speaker 4: that they loved about o way. They wanted him back.
Speaker 4: They have the money, but it just got a little
Speaker 4: too rich. I was surprised at the Zion Johnson at
Speaker 4: sixteen million. Seemed like that's probably in step with what
Speaker 4: he was going to get in an incredibly expensive guard market.
Speaker 4: There were things that they loved about him. He's a
Speaker 4: great teammate, he busts his ass, he's great.
Speaker 5: In the run game.
Speaker 4: And then there were things that were certainly concerning not
Speaker 4: great in past protection. Could not pick up a stunt
Speaker 4: to save his life. That was a real struggle. So
Speaker 4: maybe they just figured there's enough guys out there that
Speaker 4: they can find someone better for the same number, or
Speaker 4: someone comparable for less money. But the Chargers let their
Speaker 4: two big in house free agents leave for big free
Speaker 4: agent contracts, so kind of goes in line with how
Speaker 4: they operate. Their number one priority was to fix center.
Speaker 4: Do not go into the draft with that need, you know,
Speaker 4: forcing you to take a guy when maybe it's a
Speaker 4: little too rich. We talked about the last week. Instead,
Speaker 4: you can take a center on your own schedule and
Speaker 4: the contract looks even better today. Eleven million for Sean
Speaker 4: Ryan Piatus is a better center than he is and
Speaker 4: the Raiders, as many saw it coming three years eighty
Speaker 4: one million bucks a monster deal the high.
Speaker 2: Were you one of those people, Matt I was, you
Speaker 2: wouldn't say that if you weren't one of those people.
Speaker 4: You're right, You're absolutely right. Three years eighty one million bucks.
Speaker 4: They paid an eight and a half million dollar per
Speaker 4: year premium to get Linderbaum to leave Baltimore quickly though,
Speaker 4: to wrap the Chargers Charlie Kohler, a huge upgrade over
Speaker 4: will Disley. They needed that blocking tight end to pair
Speaker 4: with a Rondez Gadsden. It was a nice fine last
Speaker 4: year in the fifth round they got probably a better
Speaker 4: blocker and way more athletic than Will Disley, and way
Speaker 4: better in the pass catching game. So a big upgrade there.
Speaker 4: I would equate it to what the Rams got out
Speaker 4: of Colby Parkinson a couple of years when they signed
Speaker 4: him away from the Seahawks, but to the Raiders and
Speaker 4: eight and a half million bucks more than the highest
Speaker 4: paid center Creed Humphrey and seems like everybody is in
Speaker 4: the same boat.
Speaker 5: And that's who cares.
Speaker 4: What did Daniel Jeremiah, former front office scout with the Ravens,
Speaker 4: the Eagles, and the Browns say when he joined this
Speaker 4: you're gonna draft a young quarterback, you better give him
Speaker 4: the three p's, pretzels, papadakis.
Speaker 5: And porn.
Speaker 4: And if you can't give him those three things, I'm
Speaker 4: not available. You need to give him a play caller,
Speaker 4: which they hired in Clint Kubiak as their head coach
Speaker 4: play calling offensive head coach just won a Super Bowl
Speaker 4: with Sam Darnold in Seattle protection. They now have Linderbaum
Speaker 4: at center, Colton Miller at left tackle, and I would
Speaker 4: imagine at pick number fourteen part of the hall they
Speaker 4: got from Baltimore not just two ones, but a premium
Speaker 4: number one pick in that Max Crosby trade talking about
Speaker 4: one of the tackles that could be there in Freeling
Speaker 4: or Fano or take the universally love of Vega Yo
Speaker 4: Wanna out of Penn State at guard to put in
Speaker 4: front Fernando Mendoza. And they have the playmakers, Brock Bowers,
Speaker 4: Ashton Genty. They signed Jalen Naylor, who was a sneaky
Speaker 4: wide receiver that a lot of people liked, and maybe
Speaker 4: a wide receiver they do go wide receiver as well.
Speaker 4: If Carnel Tate or Malachi Lemon slide or if you feel,
Speaker 4: you know, more comfortable with the Mackay Lemon Malachai Nelson
Speaker 4: correct exactly, or if you feel comfortable with the medicals
Speaker 4: on Jordan Tyson.
Speaker 2: I'm sure Nelson would love to switch.
Speaker 4: Indeed, he probably would top of the second round. The
Speaker 4: Raiders could also pluck a wide receiver talent like Casey
Speaker 4: Conceptsion out of A and M as well. So it
Speaker 4: feels like all three teams pretty darn good opening day
Speaker 4: to free agency feeling needs to be as successful as possible.
Speaker 4: Many more moves to come, but I would say as
Speaker 4: a month day, I don't know how these teams were
Speaker 4: able to put together incredibly complex, one hundred million dollar
Speaker 4: contracts in forty minutes. It just doesn't make any sense. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's yes, you know the answer to it. Because the
Speaker 4: NFL doesn't care.
Speaker 2: We criticize them who said that.
Speaker 4: They always do all those the the uh the collective
Speaker 4: they spy they I think spot rack or SPO track
Speaker 4: the OTC folks, they keep track of these contracts. Yes,
Speaker 4: I think PF FP t C X exactly.
Speaker 5: All right, all those.
Speaker 2: Guys picking up stunts. Isn't that easy, man and guests, Okay,
Speaker 2: picking up stunts is not the easiest thing.
Speaker 5: You're gonna make forty million bucks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, it's not that easy. We'll get back
Speaker 2: with David Vasse Live in.
Speaker 1: Mary Vale, Petrels, Papadakis, that money Smith, this is Petrol,
Speaker 1: Send money onto.

Speaker 4: play by play properties in the next twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: Tonight basketball, Tomorrow's spring training baseball, and you know who's
Speaker 4: gonna be at that game.
Speaker 1: David Live from Spring Training, the home of the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Speaker 1: Vassi Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 2: The one and only David Vasse. I've heard a lot
Speaker 2: of pronunciations. I think it's Meryville, Marwa Valley. He's south there.
Speaker 2: David's Marwall Valley. I don't know what I mean. He's there.
Speaker 2: I guess he might be able to tell us to
Speaker 2: be there too. I know, Cactus League Dave, he's there
Speaker 2: and he's pomping it out. No Dodger talk tonight, but
Speaker 2: he's with US MLB Network Spectrum Sports a la am
Speaker 2: five seventy the best baseball reporter in the world. We
Speaker 2: say that with confidence. It is David Vasse on your
Speaker 2: Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
Speaker 3: Hello Dave, Hi, guys, it was a good start to
Speaker 3: the return to Arizona and being in Maryvale. I had
Speaker 3: a chance to visit with Dino Ebel's oldest son out
Speaker 3: of Corona, and that is Brady Ebel, wearing his dad's
Speaker 3: number ninety one. He played today. He came off the
Speaker 3: bench as the DH after Yelich came out. And he's
Speaker 3: having a great camp. He said. Pat Murphy, just to
Speaker 3: you know, keep him in check, is calling him Dino
Speaker 3: instead of his real name Brady when he comes over
Speaker 3: to big league camp.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Sun's Dave, I guess before we dig into
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, looks like e Kay's kid is really turning
Speaker 4: it on Kyle turn it into a hell of a
Speaker 4: player for the Rockies as well.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he's had a really good spring, and he
Speaker 3: had a really good month of his major league career
Speaker 3: when the Rockies called him up last year. He's a
Speaker 3: guy that certainly had a good college career at UCLA.
Speaker 3: I know the Dodgers probably wish they would have drafted him.
Speaker 3: But the guy that passed on him is now running
Speaker 3: the Rockies with Paul de Podesta, and that's Josh Burns.
Speaker 3: So I guess he loves Kyle carosnow.
Speaker 2: The one and only David Vasse is our guest. He
Speaker 2: is in mary Vale, and I know that Davis noticed
Speaker 2: the exuberant crowds at the World Baseball Classic. I know
Speaker 2: Dave's going to enjoy the Mexico games starting off in
Speaker 2: a little while. You know, you are, Dave, what is
Speaker 2: that happening a couple of minutes? But hey, hey, sunk
Speaker 2: him got hurt today, didn't he, Dave? And that's that's
Speaker 2: a bad thing for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could have been worse. I guess he attempted
Speaker 3: to steal and the photo I saw, I saw his
Speaker 3: son Kim with a large bandage on the top of
Speaker 3: his left hand, which tells me when he tried to steal,
Speaker 3: he probably got spike and lacerated the top part of
Speaker 3: his hand. And Dave Roberts said this morning that he
Speaker 3: hasn't and the Dodgers have not gotten any word on
Speaker 3: the extent of the injury. There's a time difference, obviously,
Speaker 3: but I guess if there was something something significant, you
Speaker 3: would imagine that the Dodgers would have got words. So
Speaker 3: it could have been a lot worse. It's just a
Speaker 3: lacerated top left hand by the photos I've seen, Dave,
Speaker 3: we know.
Speaker 4: Your position on the World Baseball Classic, So let me
Speaker 4: pose this question, of all the Dodger players playing in
Speaker 4: the WBC, which of them having a monster WBC would
Speaker 4: you be most excited about and have the biggest impact
Speaker 4: on the Dodger season.
Speaker 3: Well, I honest, I believe that Kim's WBC was encouraging
Speaker 3: when he hit that game tying home run against Japan,
Speaker 3: because he had such a great start to his spring
Speaker 3: training with the Dodgers, and he may have left camp
Speaker 3: in the lead to win out the last spot on
Speaker 3: the roster, and if he continues to show that against
Speaker 3: good pitching like he faced against Japan. Then that's going
Speaker 3: to make it even more of a convincing argument. Alex
Speaker 3: Freeland did not get a hit today, so I still
Speaker 3: feel like Kim is in the lead to get that
Speaker 3: last spot for the roster. But you know, let's just
Speaker 3: keep these guys healthy. Edwin Diaz, Will Smith, Hayes on Kim,
Speaker 3: they're all important. Part Smith and Diaz obviously a lot
Speaker 3: more important. So I would say Kim is the guy
Speaker 3: that you're looking to continue his hot start to this
Speaker 3: season in the WBC.
Speaker 2: Dave's on his way to the Glendale Finneys. He has
Speaker 2: his American flag, He's dressed like a pile up creed
Speaker 2: before he got killed by Ivan Drago. That's how excited
Speaker 2: he is about USA versus Mexico tonight night.
Speaker 3: Did you guys hear the breaking news earlier today? After
Speaker 3: Terrek Scooble was getting swept in the emotion, somebody must
Speaker 3: have got to him and said, hey, you're going back
Speaker 3: to Tigers camp. And today he let Mark DeRosa know
Speaker 3: that he is leaving Team USA and rejoining the Tigers.
Speaker 3: So he will not be pitching in the championship game.
Speaker 3: If you're right, get.
Speaker 2: Dave, that's kind of the opposite of dancing around and
Speaker 2: waving your fist to live in America like a Lollo Creed.
Speaker 2: Like what you're not really you're not really inspiring a
Speaker 2: lot of patriotism here, David. Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 3: I'm looking for the Krushaw may be pitching tonight because
Speaker 3: they got their two wins and there's innings limits. So
Speaker 3: I feel like the Knight's that type of night that
Speaker 3: you might see twenty two in a USA uniform.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where at Mexico.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll be keeping an eye now, Dave, let's get
Speaker 2: to nuts and bolts here. Now, the same thing happens
Speaker 2: every single year. We yell and scream about how the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have too many starters, and then opening Day comes
Speaker 2: around and you don't even know what the rotation's going
Speaker 2: to be. Your guy Snell is like unable to throw.
Speaker 2: What does the rotation look like? As the Dodgers approach opening.
Speaker 3: Day, well, Snell is getting closer to throwing his first
Speaker 3: bullpen of the spring, but still he's at a point
Speaker 3: in time where pitcher usually is weeks before spring training begins.
Speaker 3: So that's the reason why he is going to be
Speaker 3: delayed to start the year. As far as the starting
Speaker 3: rotation goes, Glass now has remained healthy, Yamamoto fingers crossed,
Speaker 3: stays healthy with Team Japan and they keep his pitch
Speaker 3: count limited. You got O'tami who is going to be
Speaker 3: treated as a regular starter like he was with the
Speaker 3: Angels before he had his second elbow surgery. And Emmit Shean,
Speaker 3: who started today for the Dodgers against the Brewers, is
Speaker 3: definitely part of this rotation, along with Justin Robleski, who
Speaker 3: is going to get an opportunity to be a starter.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: As far as that sixth spot, Roki Sasaki, the jury's
Speaker 3: still out on that. I know Dave Roberts said he's
Speaker 3: a starting pitcher, and yes, that's the way the Dodgers
Speaker 3: are viewing him to begin the year. But the Dodgers'
Speaker 3: schedule lends himself to not needing a sixth starter until
Speaker 3: maybe you know, week four at the earliest, because they
Speaker 3: have five days off in the first five weeks of
Speaker 3: the season, including the first Sunday of the regular season
Speaker 3: off after starting the year on a Thursday, So I
Speaker 3: think they're The schedule lends itself to allowing the Dodgers
Speaker 3: of Roki Sasaki to figure it out, But those would
Speaker 3: be my five.
Speaker 5: Last thing for me, Dave.
Speaker 4: The pitchers will throw a ball and hope to get
Speaker 4: strikes and not balls called. If they feel as though
Speaker 4: they were wrong, the ABS system could come into effect.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've seen this story. You know the catchers, well,
Speaker 4: they have the worst successful challenge rate in the MLB
Speaker 4: this spring. Eighteen percent of their batter initiated challenges, twenty
Speaker 4: seven percent of their defense initiated challenges, and their total
Speaker 4: challenges versus expected is a worst minus nine point three.
Speaker 4: Are they just kind of doing what the Dodgers do
Speaker 4: and trying to work on this thing, or should we
Speaker 4: be at all concerned that they aren't seeing things right?
Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost, I did talk to Will Smith
Speaker 3: before he left for the World Baseball Classic, and he
Speaker 3: said the strategy when the Dodgers are pitching is for
Speaker 3: Will Smith to handle the challenges. Now, Will Smith has
Speaker 3: not caught the majority of innings this spring. It's Dalton
Speaker 3: Rushing and other backup catchers, so I think that explains
Speaker 3: that part of it. But as far as the strategy goes,
Speaker 3: Will Smith made it clear the pitchers need to concentrate
Speaker 3: on making pitches and leave the challenges up to him
Speaker 3: as far as the batters go. Freddie Freeman made it
Speaker 3: clear to me as well after his first game that
Speaker 3: he and other Dodgers want to see how this all
Speaker 3: works and what the strike zone is, so they're not
Speaker 3: going into spring training games with a specific strategy, more
Speaker 3: of an experimental situation to figure out what the strike
Speaker 3: zone is. How low is the strike zone? So that
Speaker 3: explains the numbers that you just laid.
Speaker 2: Out, beautiful man, Thank you, Dave, great job.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, guys, enjoy it should be a great game tonight.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed a major league spring training game earlier today
Speaker 3: that has major consequence on the Dodgers. Three pete. I
Speaker 3: don't know how this has any consequences on anything tonight, dare.
Speaker 2: You and you're just gonna say Apollo Creed died for nothing.
Speaker 3: I mean it was just an exhibition, all right, Dave.
Speaker 2: Have a great night and we'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, thanks, he.
Speaker 2: Goes just an exhibition. Take it easy. We'll be right
