<v Speaker 2>will have James Worthy on as the Lakers are hot.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Why are we having Worthy on today? He always comes

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 5>on Thursdays.

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow usually comes on Wednesdays and tomorrow exactly right, and tomorrow.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, Matt, it's not being right. It's the confidence

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>in which you speak that really gets people to love you.

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 2>But James Worthy usually joins us on Wednesday, occasionally on Thursday.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Today is on Tuesday with James Worthy.

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 5>They really messed me up, man, it really messed me

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 5>up buying.

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 2>It feels like you've been thrown off, Jill. Not since

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Kim Novak and Vertigo has a man been disconfused on

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 2>the West Coast. But we will have James Worthy on

0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>today because tomorrow there's not much of a show. We'll

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>try to get something up like we did yesterday, but

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 2>with the Clippers on the road and a Dodger game

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>before us, there is a very small sliver of an

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for us to be on between three and four

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that we might not make.

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 5>Some shows would look at that as a blessing, as

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 5>a gift. Is maybe we'll get on for fifteen minutes.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 5>We see it occurs. Yes, how can we possibly plan

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 5>for what could be an hour show?

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 2>How can we do a show of substance.

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 5>A five minute show? So point being subscribed to the podcast,

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 5>because we'll make sure a sup your show. There'll be

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 5>something there for you.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>We will have something which is a scheduled talk for

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and then even more scheduled talk as far as Thursday.

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 5>Goes no time. There's never any time. I don't have

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 5>time to study. I'm never.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Schedule talk. We have a very very special So tomorrow

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>we might not be on because the early Clipper game

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>and the late Dodger game.

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Dodger Giants, Clippers, pels. Not a lot of room

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 5>for Petro's Money.

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>To be fair. If the Dodger game goes too late

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>like it did yesterday, I don't even know if the

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Clippers will get on.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh that'd be sweet.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 2>But we have an event on That is also why

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>we can't talk to worthy on Thursday. We have an

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.599

<v Speaker 2>alert and a place we've never been before.

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 5>A regular lament from the Petros and Money audience is

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 5>why don't you spread yourself out?

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you go to Montabello. That's what they say.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 5>There are so many BJ's restaurant in brew house locations

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 5>in the Greater LA area, and we always say it's

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 5>not up too odd, not up to us. We go

0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 5>where they tell us to go. And tomorrow we will

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.440

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of like the symbol of Montebello. It's like a

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>tall climate or like no, no, okay, no, you don't climbate.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 2>You don't climb to Saint Louis RG either have some respect.

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 5>They got a elevator, I think they should top of that.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Monto Montapello is an East Los Angeles paradise and I

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>cannot wait to be there. We're gonna get a taste

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 2>of it, and we're gonna have the time of our

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>least of DJ's that we're gonna did well. We've certainly

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>had plenty of dates of that over the years.

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 5>Do they have a unique Monapella menu.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe so, man. I don't think it's like

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Baha Thursday at the Montabello BJ's or anything like that.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 2>But it should be a great time.

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:47.559
<v Speaker 5>And we got giveaways, great giveaways. By the way, well

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 5>that but that's not what people really want. U. Yes,

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 5>it's exactly what they want. And so it's worth pointing out,

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 5>we've got tickets to opening day. Why what's that? What's

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 5>that look like? I don't care tickets to opening day.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 5>We're going to be set out there early. That's how

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 5>big of a deal it is. We've got to shift

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 5>our time slot so the early morning hours for opening day.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows. And this is what Hartman said. Okay, that's

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>why I gave that look because I've been indoctrinated into

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the new Steve Hartman way of thinking. This is what

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Hartman said on Friday On Friday, did you guys do

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 2>cross talk on Friday?

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 2>For like, if Ronnie didn't play us off, it would

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 2>still be.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Going wait wait win during their time slot or the PMA.

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Asked, They asked. They sent a formal invitation to Jonas

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Knox and I not since a duke or something was

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>invited to the met Opera has such a formal invitation

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 2>gone out as like the Gilded Age. They sent us

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 2>an invitation everywhere down the hall. Calligraphy, Yeah, beautifully done.

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Guy with a big powdered wig gave it. They sent

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>us an invitation to do the cross talk, to do fusion,

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 2>which has not been done in these parts, for it

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 2>feels like a thousand years. And we said, okay, we

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.719
<v Speaker 2>accepted the invitation. We came down. Now there were a

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>few things working in our favor for fusion and against us.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 2>One an extremely bitter David Vassey was at Camelback.

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 5>Ranch and he live from the from the ranch.

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So he was inevitably going to feel left out and

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>be bitter. Hartman was very excited. Jonas was excited. It

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 2>was really like.

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Fourth Jonas was excited just.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Just to be part of the fusion, to be out

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>here with Steve Hartman, and I did make the reference

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>that we sounded like four virgins and an orgy. You know,

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 2>we didn't know how to do the fusion anymore because

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been so long. Ever since Rodney tried to send

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Matt back to Indianapolis.

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.199
<v Speaker 5>That was the end of it, twenty eighteen. I just

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 5>looked it up.

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, seven years ago ended the fusion. We just we

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 2>started fighting with Rogan and Rodney and we couldn't do

0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the fusion anymore.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>That same thing as happened with us and a few

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>other shows. They've been on that long. Sadly, they've been

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.680
<v Speaker 2>on that long. Sadly, time passes quickly. That's all I

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>wanted to say. You cut me off.

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 5>He told you go back to be in your twenty.

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 5>It feels like, yeah, you know, we've been doing this

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 5>a long time. No one can step to us and.

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Year twenty and no one even farts in our direction.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Gary and Shannon do ten years and they get like

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>this is your life. Where they're sitting there last six

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 2>months holding hands on two director's chairs while two people

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>wax poetic on stage about Gary and Shannon. I mean,

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Gary and Shannon get more fanfare than Robert Duvall at

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>the Oscars, Who's one of the greatest actors of his generation.

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Why did Gary and Shannon get so much love for

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>their anniversary? And Matt and I are just sitting here

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>staring at each other's bootzolls for twenty years.

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 5>Twenty years, not ten. We got nothing for ten, nothing

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 5>for five, but yeah, seven years for twenty seven years ago, Matt,

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 5>when we were only thirteen years in. That is when

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 5>cross talk went sour. So we did cross talk with

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 5>Rogan and Rodney, or excuse me, with the Rogan and

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.079
<v Speaker 5>Rodney Show. And that day it was David Vasse and

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 5>Steve Hartman and it went swimmingly and it was great

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 5>to see Steve and geek it up and chop it

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 5>up with Steve.

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 2>That being said, Steve said to everybody, you don't want

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>opening day tickets, that's a sham, you know what them.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 2>What you really want is the second DIY. You want

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 2>rig Knight. Rag Knight's a mess now with the rig

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Knight lives. Yeah, He's the greatest night of my lives.

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>How comes on the right.

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 5>You know, we don't have those tickets.

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>No, we don't. Man, we do have open But that

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>was the influence that Steve had on me very much.

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 5>So I was the editor of the Daily Bruin back

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 5>in the early eighties. He also worked for the Raiders. Yes,

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 5>he did at a pr E and L. Davis Thickest Thee.

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people don't know this, but when he

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>was in high school, Steve was quite the heart throb.

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Played base in a valley band called Dire Need.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 5>He's well traveled, many adventures. The man's lived a million lives.

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 5>We will have tickets to opening Day on Thursday, from

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 5>two to four. We'll have tickets to the Freeway Series.

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 5>I do believe they'll be an announcement about where we're

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 5>going to be camped out for one of those Freeway

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 5>Series games. We adjust accordingly when baseball begins to be played.

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:22.360

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>who is Hall of Fame James Worthy. And it's hard

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 2>to shake.

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 5>That Lakers are streaking winners of six in a row.

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 5>Luka Doncic making a push for First Team All NBA.

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure James going to be in a fantastic mood.

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Guys that have been a terrible mood. This team is losing.

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.399

<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>I usually don't get that impression of James. I feel

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 2>like he's.

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.399

<v Speaker 2>We're happy to have him on a little early this

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 2>week due to some scheduling conflicts that are beyond our control.

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>It is the Hall of Famer. The Lakers are streaking

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and worthy new and once Reeves and Luca got together

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.919
<v Speaker 2>that things would be okay. The Hall of Famer is

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.359

<v Speaker 2>The one and only James Worthy on the Pettersen Money Show.

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 2>What's cracking?

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>James?

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 4>How are you all good?

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 4>All good? On a special Tuesday?

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you buy it. Thanks for doing it early

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.879
<v Speaker 2>because of the Clippers schedule and then we got to

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 2>go to Montamelo. But that's not your problem, James, and

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you don't have any problems. The Lakers are streaking right now.

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:57.399
<v Speaker 2>What is it about Luca and Austin Reeves playing together

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 2>in the way that they do that makes them so

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 2>difficult for very good NBA teams or anybody to guard?

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, like I hate saying the things that

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 4>always sound like excuses, but you know the fact that

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 4>they finally got everybody like healthy and together and play

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 4>together for a while a few games, and I think

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 4>the coaching staff was able to figure out how to

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 4>deal with the trio. Okay, you look at Lebron's role

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 4>now it's more off ball. I think he's enjoying it,

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 4>and I think he realizes that he can be most

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:43.399
<v Speaker 4>productive in that role, and he allows Austin Reeves to

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 4>handle the ball just as much as Luca. To me,

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.880
<v Speaker 4>they you know, Luca obviously is you know, super talented,

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 4>but they both are very efficient, and I think having

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.959
<v Speaker 4>them on the floor together, sometimes with and without Lebron,

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:04.439
<v Speaker 4>and allowing Austen to flourish with the ball in his hands.

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 4>He gets to the free throw line, he didn't look

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 4>to do the same thing. They get to the line,

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 4>they draw files, they both at shoot the three. They're

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 4>very spontaneous, and when that happens, I think eight and really,

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, Marcus Smart, you know, he reminds me of

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 4>Michael Cooper so much. He's just a you know, he

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 4>sticks his nose in there. He's got Lebron diving on

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 4>the floor. You know, Marcus Smart came in here diving

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 4>on the floor early in the season. Now he's got

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 4>forty one year old guy. So I think they're starting

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:39.200
<v Speaker 4>to like get more synergy than they've ever had. We've

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 4>seen spurts oft it. It's easy to see the talent

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 4>when you got Luke out there, you know, killing it

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 4>from three and do what he does. And then when

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 4>you bring in the consistency of like I thought, Jake

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:52.919
<v Speaker 4>Lavia had a good game last night. You know, I

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 4>think when they start to make that more consistent on

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 4>the defensive end. They've always had the offense, but now

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 4>when you when you're throwing the defense and you know,

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 4>the collective effort, it's nice to see. I don't think

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 4>it's sustain it.

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:11.919
<v Speaker 5>On the six game win streak, you've seen DeAndre Aiden's

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 5>minutes go up. Played almost thirty last night, thirty against

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 5>the Nuggets, nearly forty against the Bulls, you know, and

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 5>there was a lot of conversation about him not accepting

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 5>his role. You heard what he said. You know that

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 5>that kind of took off in a viral moment about

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.160
<v Speaker 5>him not being Clint Capella just kind of where where

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 5>you at with aighton? How responsible is he on this

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 5>six game you know, win streak, these nine of their

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.679
<v Speaker 5>last ten, And do you feel like he's done a

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 5>better job of kind of filling in where he's supposed

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 5>to fill in?

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.359
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think I think Clint Capella had the best response.

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 4>You know, Clint Coppella said, hey, man, you got you know,

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 4>three guys that can ball. Just go out and just

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.920
<v Speaker 4>go out and ball with him, you know, And I think,

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, if he does that, I do think that

0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 4>they're starting to include him early. I think some guys

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 4>you have to like initiate and get them the ball,

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 4>whether that's a love or something off a pick and roll.

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:12.120
<v Speaker 4>His defense I thought was amazing. Then once he gets

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 4>some few touches, they're active, they get involved. I think

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 4>Marcus Smart started this about a month ago. He intentionally,

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.440
<v Speaker 4>I remember one game throwing eight in the ball to

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 4>get him involved. So uh, lately, I like his effort.

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 4>I like his efficiency. He's got nice you know, and

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 4>when you get him the ball in the paint, he's

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 4>very efficient with the little floaters and sometimes he gets

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.959
<v Speaker 4>a dunk and can hit the eight footer, but it

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 4>collapses the defense a little bit, and he's a willing

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 4>passer out of that. So uh, that's when Luke Canard

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 4>gets an open three or somebody gets in, you know. Uh,

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Marcus Smart might get a wide open three. Uh. So

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 4>they need to inclue when you got a big number

0:24:56.040 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 4>one draft pick for a reason. Now he hasn't dominated, uh,

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:04.640
<v Speaker 4>but he's he still has talent, and he's still young,

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:07.200
<v Speaker 4>and hopefully he'll he'll find it, you know, get a

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 4>little bit of to kill O'Neill in it, you know

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:09.480
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying.

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 2>The Great James Mrthy we could all use a little

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>bit of Shaquille O'Neill in us.

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Money.

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, take some of that money. Is that Papa John's money, James? Uh?

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Last night the Lakers were like double blitzing Kevin Durant

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 2>late in the game when he had the ball. Now

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 2>did they do that to Nikola Djokis last year? And

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 2>is that something that JJ Reddick seems to do a

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>lot or just when it gets to be toward the

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 2>playoffs and in the playoffs, because it was effective last night,

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of stifling Kevin Durant late.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, you know, I think without San Goon, you

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 4>know that that was one advantage that the Lakers had.

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 4>You know, he was out last night, and he's kind

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 4>of like he kind of he's kind of like a

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Yokic center. He can handle the ball. He does do

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of handoffs. So I think with with with

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:07.719
<v Speaker 4>him out and not really having a really uh a

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 4>really breakdown primary guard, they were able to take some

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 4>of Kevin Durant's comfort away. He liked to handle the

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 4>ball a lot to get to his spots. So by

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 4>blitzing him, which by the way, they also do a

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 4>lot with Luca, they try to get Luca out high

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.199
<v Speaker 4>with a blitz and get it out of his hands. Uh.

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Luca's a little bit more evasive. Uh, but I think

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 4>that was good strategy, blitzing him, double teaming him, getting

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 4>out of his hands, forcing the issue, which they were

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 4>successful at, you know early. You know, early in the

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.680
<v Speaker 4>third second quarter they had a lot of offensive rebounds.

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 4>But I think once they figured out the rotations, uh,

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of part of the game they were

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 4>they had much success with, you know, closing down Durant

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Who's Who's hard to do, by the way, it's very hard,

0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 4>but they did a good job of blitzing and collapse.

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 5>James. We remember they had that stretch last year where

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 5>they were one of the best defensive teams in the league.

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 5>Kind of right before that Luca trade, they were streaking

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 5>on that side of the court. You mentioned it that

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 5>on this win streak they're playing better defense. I mean

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 5>last night, no Sangoon, but talking about holding them to

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:18.439
<v Speaker 5>twenty points below their season average. Kind of did the

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 5>same thing with the Knicks as well, and that big win.

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.640
<v Speaker 5>Do you think this can be a good defensive team

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 5>with their personnel if Lebron, Austin Reeves and Luca are

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.239
<v Speaker 5>out there. Is it, Is it possible? And how do

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 5>they do that? Because they're probably going to need that

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 5>to win a playoff series.

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, you know that. You mentioned the Knicks. They

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:40.640
<v Speaker 4>almost had Minnesota on the hundred. They scored a few

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 4>points late in the fourth. But yeah, the Lakers have

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:49.640
<v Speaker 4>shown that and clutch last four minutes, last five minutes,

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 4>they've been pretty good. You know when you add that

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:55.439
<v Speaker 4>for four to forty eight minutes. Yeah, I think I

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.919
<v Speaker 4>think they have to have that, And I think it

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 4>starts with you know, Marcus Smart was Defensive Player of

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 4>the Year. He's bought this mentality to these guys that's tough, physical, verbal,

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 4>and uh, that's what you need. And I think you know,

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 4>when guys like Aydan who's a rem protector, uh you know, uh,

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Hayes is always pretty active. But then guys like Jake

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 4>la Rabia, he don't. People don't realize he's a pretty

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 4>tough defender. He's sneaky, he he gets offensive rebounds, he

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 4>doesn't spectate. So when you start to bring in those

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 4>type of uh, you know players on top of you know,

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Austin Reeves taking charges. Surprisingly, Luca is a better defensive

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 4>player this year. Uh, you know, it kind of reminds

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 4>me of Magic. You know, he's a good team defender,

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 4>knows the other team's offense and knows how to step

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 4>in and get steals. Every now and then he's getting

0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 4>back on you know, getting back on defense because you know,

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 4>he can't complain too much to the referees because he

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 4>has that he only has that one more technical, so

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:05.600
<v Speaker 4>now he can't complain. He'd get hitting back on defense quicker.

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 4>But I just think that they know defense is going

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 4>to win defense they do. They do need to do

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 4>a better job once they play twenty four seconds of

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 4>good defense of securing that rebound. They give up too

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 4>many offensive rebounds. They did against Boston, they did last night.

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 4>I kind of on one possession where team got like

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 4>four extra rebounds, and that just it's demoralizing when that happens. So, uh,

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 4>those are less shot attempts you're getting up and they

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 4>need to they need to work on that a little bit.

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 2>The great James Worthy, our hero. Where do you think

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>this momentum can take them? James? I mean, they're a

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun to watch and they have some great players.

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 2>How far do you think they can go leading into

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs here.

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 4>You want home corner advantage in the first round. I

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 4>think if you know, right now, I think they're still

0:29:56.880 --> 0:30:01.520
<v Speaker 4>in third, I believe, and they have secure I know

0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 4>they secured a tiebreaker with Denver, and so I think

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 4>the Suns are still floating around. Yeah, you want home

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 4>court advantage and then you know once you can secure

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:15.520
<v Speaker 4>that in the playoffs. You know kind of began in

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 4>the second round, but if you do want to kind

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 4>of stand around third and see if you could secure

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 4>home court advantage and go from there and continue to

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 4>get better on the defensive vand particularly as you get

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 4>deeper into the into the playoffs.

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 5>Real quick, James, how worried are you? Six v eleven

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina VCU No Caleb Wilson v. Custeen of seventeen.

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 5>It's like the number one upset that everyone's picking for

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 5>the tournament. How are you feeling?

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Look, I keep it real. I want my tar

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 4>here and I want to be pulling form. Without Caleb,

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be tough in that bracket. That's a tough

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 4>bracket there in. But I'm pulling for him, you know,

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 4>I always say, you know we can upset somebody. That's

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 4>just extradition. But it's it's it's it's not you know,

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 4>they're not favorite. You know, if I had to really

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.840
<v Speaker 4>like buckle down and say, Okay, I don't know if

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 4>they can get through.

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 5>This, but I'm a tar heel, well, good luck to

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 5>the heels. That's right, you got it, Thank you, James.

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.960

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Patrick's day to Vass a many years ago. We spent

<v Speaker 2>this day at McFadden's.

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 5>That was a hell of a day. We had a

0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 5>great time. But Dave till our boss ditched us for

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 5>an uber to get to the airport and we got stuck.

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 2>It happened, but we got there. Uh. Dave is with

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 2>us at the Real Underscore DV He's got Dodger Talk

0:32:56.680 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 2>tonight with Andre Ehier joining him, and the Japanese guys

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 2>are back, so Dave's got to be happy. Dave is

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 2>on your Southern California. Tell you to Dealer Celebrity online. Dave,

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 2>how's it going.

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 3>It's going good. The Dodgers are playing under the lights

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 3>tonight against the Mariners, and the Dodgers made the announcement

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 3>today that Shoho Tani is going to start tomorrow's game

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 3>and then start the final game of the Freeway Series

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 3>against the Angels for his final tune up before the

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 3>regular season. And as you guys know, yesterday the big

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 3>announcement that Yoshi Yamamoto is the opening day starter. So yeah,

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 3>it's great to have everybody back here since YadA was

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 3>on Mookie bets shoulder today, so things are back to

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers normal now, Dave.

0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 5>If he is pitching the last game of the Freeway series,

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 5>where does that slot him in the rotation.

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that still remains to be seen, but it doesn't

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 3>slought him for or the first opening series against the Diamondbacks.

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 3>I could definitely see Otani pitching one of those games

0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 3>against the Guardians, especially with a weird day off on

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 3>Sunday after they finished the three game series against Arizona.

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:18.680
<v Speaker 3>So that would lend itself to believe that Otani probably

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:20.880
<v Speaker 3>starts one of the games against the Guardians.

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 5>You feel like you got a clear picture of what

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:25.839
<v Speaker 5>those first three or four or five starters are going

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 5>to look like.

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 3>I believe, so I believe if you just look at

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:33.480
<v Speaker 3>the caliber of starters that Dodgers have, it's got to

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:38.280
<v Speaker 3>be Yamamoto opening day obviously, glass now as the season starts,

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 3>he would be, you know, my number two starter, and

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 3>then that leads who I mean, Otani not going to

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 3>start in the Arizona Series.

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 5>So is that Emit.

0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Shean, you know, Emmit Shean. Over the weekend he got

0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:54.719
<v Speaker 3>upset with me, but it was hard to ignore the

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 3>fact that he was throwing about ninety to ninety two

0:34:57.520 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 3>instead of his normal ninety five. He said it was

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 3>mechanical and there are no red flags that the Dodgers

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 3>are showing right now. So I would say those would

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 3>be my first three right now. Roki Sasaki a big

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 3>start tonight under the lights here against the Royals because

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:19.840
<v Speaker 3>it has looked uneven. He pitched well on the backfields

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:22.719
<v Speaker 3>you know last week, but that was against minor leaguers,

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 3>and the way he was getting outs was, you know,

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 3>minor leaguers chasing pitches that major leaguers don't usually chase.

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 3>So tonight's a big one and the Dodgers need Sasaki

0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 3>and his innings as they start the season without Blake

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Snow and Gavin Stone.

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 2>How's Mookie doing, Dave? He hit a home run on Sunday.

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we had a great talk with Mooki after that

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 3>game out there a mesa against the Cubs Petros. There's

0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:54.240
<v Speaker 3>the look of Mookie Bets. The actions on the field

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:58.359
<v Speaker 3>resemble the Mookie Bets that we saw in September last

0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 3>year and the Mookie Bets that he's in his entire career.

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 3>And we asked him what is the biggest difference, and

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 3>he said it was simple that sickness took a lot

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 3>out of him. Here's what he said about how being

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 3>stronger in spring training is translating to him being the

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 3>hitter that we know.

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 7>It's consistent. You know, I'm kind of doing the same

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:22.439
<v Speaker 7>thing every day. But I think the most important part

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 7>is just I have Now that I have, I think

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:28.799
<v Speaker 7>I'm one to seventy eight now seventy eight, almost one eighty,

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 7>so I'm able to just have speed, you know, something

0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 7>that didn't when I lost all the way. I just

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 7>was down ten miles pour and speed, and so you

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 7>got guys throwing one hundred miles an hour and with

0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 7>a slow bat. I mean it's going to be hard

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.480
<v Speaker 7>to do it's not an excuse, but it's a fact.

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 7>So now I got my speed back, I don't I

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:50.680
<v Speaker 7>don't have to hurry up and make decisions so fast.

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.319
<v Speaker 3>So there you go. I mean, I guess it makes

0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:59.320
<v Speaker 3>sense he has his strengths back and that has allowed

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.280
<v Speaker 3>him to get them that through the strike zone quicker.

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 3>And so he basically said that he was playing from

0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:09.720
<v Speaker 3>behind all last year, which we heard about. But now

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.840
<v Speaker 3>it makes sense why he looks and resembles the Mookie

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Bets that we've known in the past.

0:37:14.760 --> 0:37:17.200
<v Speaker 5>This may be a stupid question, but I'm known for

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 5>those Dave. In a spring training game when it gets

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 5>away from a team like it did yesterday and Dave

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 5>Roberts was struggling to find pictures that could find the

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:30.759
<v Speaker 5>strike zone, can you just say we're good, like, hey,

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 5>let's just call this off. Would that have too much

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:36.279
<v Speaker 5>of a negative effect on the team, Like it was

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:38.920
<v Speaker 5>a hot day out there and it seemed like things

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 5>just kept getting worse and worse in those final two innings.

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:46.280
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not a dumb question. In fact, it's something

0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:49.799
<v Speaker 3>that we were all talking about. Who is this benefiting?

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Is it really helping the development of those pictures that

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 3>just couldn't find the strike zone. I'm not sure who

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 3>that benefits as far as player development goes. So, yeah,

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:02.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you. I feel like in that circumstance, you know,

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 3>for all of the quirks, so the World Baseball Classic,

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:08.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, once it gets to that stage, how about

0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 3>the mercy rule. But at least we got to see

0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Brady Evil hit his first home run as a professional

0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:14.840
<v Speaker 3>yesterday at camel Back Ranch.

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and who knows if they would have called the game,

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>it could have never happened. What about Blake trying and rushing?

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 2>They've had terrible springs, Dave, what is the level of concern?

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh, truth, you're paying attention. I guess you, guys, we

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 3>were paying attention yesterday when Blake trying and made you

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 3>guys sit and wait to do your show because he

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 3>gave up. He gave up some three run home run

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:49.399
<v Speaker 3>in that nine run seventh inning. Look, at this point

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.320
<v Speaker 3>in time of spring training, it's pretty serious.

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:55.839
<v Speaker 3>It's not everybody's leaving saying, oh, you know what when

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 3>they leave the building after a game like that and

0:38:58.440 --> 0:39:01.680
<v Speaker 3>they don't perform well, that they're feeling great about themselves

0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:05.240
<v Speaker 3>at this juncture of spring training, just you know, less

0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:08.280
<v Speaker 3>than ten days away from opening days, it's pretty serious

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 3>to start getting some results. And I think the biggest

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:15.600
<v Speaker 3>concern is that Trynon not only is walking hitters, not

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 3>only is he not missing bats, but he's only throwing

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 3>ninety three and he's thirty seven years old. You have

0:39:22.680 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 3>to wonder how much he has left. And he's going

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.840
<v Speaker 3>to be on the opening day roster, but certainly there's concern.

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.880
<v Speaker 3>And look, Dalton Rushing for a guy that says that

0:39:31.960 --> 0:39:33.880
<v Speaker 3>he needs to play every day, has been given the

0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to play every day and it just hasn't gone

0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 3>well for him this spring training. So again he's going

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.800
<v Speaker 3>to get the opportunity to be on the opening day roster.

0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 3>But certainly the Dodgers have a pretty good defensive catcher

0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 3>in Elisia Alfonso that they brought in. He caught yesterday.

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 3>He definitely could be part of this equation. And you know,

0:39:57.160 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 3>the Mets have two really good, two real good catchers.

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Ben Horffitt may be available by the end of spring

0:40:06.000 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 3>training if the Mets decide not to tender him, so

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 3>he could be back on the Dodgers' radar.

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, good luck. I know that'll make Tim Kate's very happy,

0:40:14.520 --> 0:40:18.240
<v Speaker 5>getting Royt vedback. Good luck. Focusing on the Dodgers Royals

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 5>contest tonight, with the World Baseball Classic getting rolling at

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:24.279
<v Speaker 5>five pm and a six o'clock first pitch for the

0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 5>boys in Blue, Dave, we appreciate it. Looking forward to

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:30.720
<v Speaker 5>Andre Ethier tonight as well or tomorrow.

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you guys, thank you night.

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:37.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, Dave, goodbye, and we'll be back with Mark Petrosen.

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Money word numbers of the day. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody,
