00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: I got I got a good one for us today.

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: Somebody worthy of a conversation all on it is the

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: Draft Kings player Spotlight. Appreciate DraftKings supporting this section of

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: the show. We got to talk about Show Heyo Tani

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: because I argue, we don't do that enough on this show.

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: But he just keeps making new history setting creating new

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: records or what's the word I'm looking for.

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: No new category has a new category of records that

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: he's setting breaking all of the things. I mean, fifty

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: home runs and fifty strikeouts on the season. I mean,

28
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: not many guys can do that, right, only only two

29
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: way players and show Hey is the man show. According

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: to Y'aho's Sports Show, Heyo Tani is the only player

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball history with fifty k's and fifty

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: home runs in a single season. So the man is

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: creating his own categories. And he already has fifty one

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: home runs on the year, and there's still a handful

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: of games left to go, so maybe he gets to

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: fifty five. Sarah Langs does a great job, of course,

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Slang's on sports fifty or more home runs in consecutive seasons.

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: Show Hey is at the top of the less the

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: last guy to do it, and whatever, Alex Roder, he

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: gets two thousand and one to two and two.

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's also the fastest player to ever hit

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and five homers in a Dodger uniform. Here

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: you see that more illustrious company for show heyo Tani

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: from Sarah Langs and Elias Sports there, Babe Ruth. Of

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: course he was pretty good for a while there, Alex

46
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: Alex Rodriguez was pretty good there for a while, as

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: long as he you know, had a little bit of

48
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: a mother's little helper. But show, hey, o Tani. I

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: just don't think we we we give enough love or

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: appreciation for the fact that this dude can roll out

00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: this all day long, and this is why we're actually

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: on at four pm Eastern today instead of our normal

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: three pm Eastern today. It has just been announced officially,

86
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: as we knew all day long, Clayton Kershaw has announced

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: just now that he is retiring at the end of

88
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: the season. Clayton Kershaw an eighteen year Big League veteran,

89
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: all in the same uniform. The man has three cy

90
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Young Awards, he has five ERA titles. He has two

91
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: World Series Championships, perhaps a third in twenty twenty five,

92
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: and eleven time All Star. At twenty eleven nationally gold Glove,

93
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: he won the Triple Crown, also win that same year.

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: He's a twenty twelve ROBERTA. Cluente Award winner, which is

95
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: a huge honor in this sport. He has a list

96
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: of accolades that go on and on and on and on. Obviously,

97
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: he had a no hitter in twenty fourteen, the same

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: year in which he won the MVP. He has made

99
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: it official. And I knew Clint that this day would come.

100
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: I just wasn't certain I was ready for it to come.

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: And I'm just grateful that Clayton retires as a Dodger

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: because he could have very well finished his career in Texas.

103
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: It would have been easier for him right He's right

104
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: down the road. He has a growing family. They're about

105
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: to have their fifth child. That's it. Clayton is retiring.

106
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Congrats Kersh.

107
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, we knew this day was coming

108
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: at some point in our life. It makes sense. It

109
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: really does make sense that it's now. And I apologize

110
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: for the lack of eye contact with people. I am

111
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: updating our show here live in real time. We did know,

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: we did, you know, catch and Win, that this was

113
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: a possibility today. We waited as long as we could

114
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 2: to start this show so we can have this be

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: and all. Kershaw, thank you for the memories, thank you

116
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: for the love. Thank you for eighteen incredible seasons. It's

117
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: a gut punch. You knew it was coming. The immediate

118
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: reaction is a gut punch. This is a dude personally.

119
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: This is a guy I grew up with. You know,

120
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: I'm only two years older than him, or three calendar

121
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: years older or whatever. But this is my guy. This

122
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: is my dog. Clayton Kershaw is our ride and die.

123
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: He's been the stopper, He's been the man you want.

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: Posting for you, every fourth, every fifth, now every sixth day.

125
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: He's done it with style, with grace, with dominance over

126
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: the course of his career. Here, even in year eighteen,

127
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: Kersh still so so damn good the king here eighteen

128
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: seasons of Dodgers, three thousand and thirty nine career strikeouts,

129
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: two five to two career era, two hundred and twenty

130
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: two career wins. That is one spot where he will

131
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: not finish off, you know, his career atop the Dodger

132
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: leader board. First, Don Sutton has two hundred and thirty

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: three as a Dodger. But the goat that man is

134
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: as an outright goat Alana one thing I'll say, it

135
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: makes sense that it's now because this team is so stacked,

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: it's so talented. We said entering the season, where does

137
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw fit in? I don't know where he fits in.

138
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: Next year when you look at all of the talent,

139
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: the starting rotation is going to have available, Kevin Stone

140
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: coming back from injury, plus there will be a River Ryan,

141
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: Justin Merpleski, Kyle Hurt. I don't want to make this

142
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: about next year. I want to savor Clayton Kershaw. Of course,

143
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: starts for the Dodgers. One more home start for him Friday,

144
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: Friday regular season tickets go buy him now.

145
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an emotional time, and I don't think we

146
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: can appreciate all of what Clayton Kershaw has done because

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: we're right in the middle of it, right We're in

148
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: the weeds with Kersh right now, and I think we'll

149
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: have a moment. And Clayton hasn't reflected either, because there's

150
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: been many times when I had the privilege of covering

151
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: him on a daily basis over the course of my

152
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: seven years in Los Angeles. I know I'm still covering

153
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, but it's in a different form now, right.

154
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I would often ask him like, have you ever thought

155
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: about like his MVP season or his three Cy Young

156
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Awards or the ERA title or reaching three thousand strikeouts

157
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: or whatever, which he did this year. But you know,

158
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, have you ever thought about what you've accomplished?

159
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: And He's like, not really, you know, not yet. I

160
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: mean there will there will come a time, I believe,

161
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: for Clayton Kershaw where he has the time to sit

162
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: back and reflect at what it was in terms of

163
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: his career and how unbelievable of a career it is.

164
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: And the one thing about Clayton is that as he's

165
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: had to kind of reinvent himself, as all pitchers do, right,

166
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: the velocity may not be there anymore, doesn't exactly have

167
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: the same swing and miss stuff. The curveball isn't just

168
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: curvy if you will well. But the one thing about

169
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is the competitive competitiveness has never faltered. That

170
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: has never been something that has been in question. The

171
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: work ethic, the competitiveness, the give a crap, the want

172
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: to has never been in question when it comes to

173
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. And while he's had to evolve as a pitcher,

174
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: and while he softened a little bit off the field

175
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: and in the dugout and has become a little bit

176
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: more playful as time has gone on, as father time

177
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: has hit all of us, as he has become a

178
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: father for the fourth time, almost a fifth time, we

179
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: have seen him evolve as a pitcher, We have seen

180
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: him evolve as a man, We have seen him evolve

181
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: as a mentor. But the competitiveness and the fire and

182
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: the care has never quit. And the Dodgers finally making

183
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: this official today and again, guys, if you're just joining

184
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: us now, the reason Clint and I are on now

185
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: and not at our normal time, as we were waiting

186
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: for this to become official and waiting for the team

187
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: to say something about it because we did not want

188
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: to report false information because that's big news, right, It's

189
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: big news when the eighth of the staff and the

190
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: guy that has anchored your starting rotation for the better

191
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: part of almost two decades, when he says it's time

192
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: to hang it up. I mean that kind of that

193
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: ruffles the waves, that creates waves a little bit, and

194
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a little it's a little while it's a

195
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: little wild to think that there is going to be

196
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: a team in twenty twenty six that does not have

197
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw pitching for it. Yeah, it's a little it's

198
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: a little hard to believe.

199
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm not ready to believe it. I don't

200
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: want to believe it yet. It again, it makes sense.

201
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if you happened to see he sat

202
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: down with with your buddy and somebody I've long watched

203
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: and loved Chris Rose over with the jam Boy channel

204
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: Kersh Like you mentioned, Riz, he's just so much. He's

205
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: a very different character now than the animal he was,

206
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: especially during your tenure covering him day to day. He's

207
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: a lot more loose, He's a lot more open, He's

208
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: a lot more willing to accept that, Hey, you know,

209
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: my time is coming to an end and he's he's played.

210
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: He's told us this for years, if we're being honest,

211
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: he has said, like he did, he wants to go

212
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: out on his own accord. He wants to prove that

213
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: he can still get the job done and and not

214
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: just you know, hang on to hang on. He is

215
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: still one of the top five top six pitchers in

216
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: this Dodgers rotation, you could even say top four. He

217
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: has been an anchor for this team this year, and

218
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 2: I love that that he does get to go out

219
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: on his own accord. It's it's not because of an injury.

220
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 2: Obviously he got those things. He got the knee, he

221
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: got the foot fixed as however gross that was, of course.

222
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: He showed you and Prazinski the photo at spring training

223
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: earlier this year. He got those things fixed and he's

224
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: able to hang up those those sketcher's spikes on his own.

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: I often love that.

226
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: I love that for my man yeah, and that's the

227
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: thing too. And you bring up such a good point there.

228
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: And I remember one time, no More Garcia Para and

229
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: and a couple of other folks on our broadcast team

230
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: at the time, we're talking about that not many players

231
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: in the major sports and professional sports get to go

232
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: out on top. I mean, we were talking about the

233
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: small percentage. Let's say it's you know, less than five

234
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: percent of people actually get to go out the way

235
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: that they want to, albeit they've won a million championships,

236
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or you know, they get to go out

237
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: when they're healthy and they're not being you know, the

238
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: jersey doesn't have to be like ripped off of them,

239
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: like they're ready to say goodbye, like they've achieved everything

240
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: they could possibly want in the world, whether it's the

241
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: mia Ham's of the world or the tom Brady's of

242
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: the world, or very few people get to say when

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: they're done. Most of the time, the sport dictates when

244
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: you're done. Very few people get to say, you know what,

245
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm good And Clayton kersh Off, for all he has

246
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: meant to the Dodgers and for all he has meant

247
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: to this great game of ours, he gets to say

248
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: when he's done. And kudos to the Dodgers too for

249
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: giving Clayton the alley and the pathway to be able

250
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: to They basically said, you have a lifetime contract here, man.

251
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: You can be here in any capacity as long as

252
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: you want to. And there was always a spot for Kersh.

253
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: And to your point, he's still productive. It's not like

254
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: he's like coming in there, you know, like on a

255
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: wheelchair trying to I mean, he is still a productive pitcher,

256
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So kudos to the Dodgers

257
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: for giving him that alleyway, and kudos to Kersh for

258
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: wanting to finish his career with the team that drafted him.

259
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: And thanks Ned Kleetti by the way, not that it

260
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: would have taken a genius to scout Clayton Kershaw, but again,

261
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: like thanks to Ned for signing Kersh. You know what

262
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: I mean.

263
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something's career, that is something I very much

264
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure we give some love to Ned for.

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the talent was there, obviously a very raw

266
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: kid out of out of Texas at the time, but

267
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: also got to appreciate Frank mccot in the two thousand

268
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: and five Dodgers for just being so god awful bad

269
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: that they were able to get a first round the

270
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: number seven overall pick that year, and that Ned saw

271
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: enough in this man who first dawned number fifty four

272
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: and went on to where the Hall of Fame number

273
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: twenty two for the better part of his eighteen years. Yeah,

274
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: like Ned has away, and maybe we got to talk

275
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: to him at some point. We'll get him on the

276
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: show and get some Clayton Kershaw thoughts as the season

277
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: trudges forward. Of course, this is Clayton Kershaw Appreciation Weekend

278
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: now at Dodger Stadium again, his final regular season home

279
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,359
Speaker 2: start on Friday. Clayton Kershaw three thousandth strikeout Bobblehead on Saturday,

280
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: which that needs to be Clayton Kershaw Appreciation Day. Yes,

281
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: they're still going to be postseason. There will be games

282
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: played at Dodger Stadium. We hope this team goes on

283
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: a very long, deep run into October and they send

284
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: Clayton off right with a third series trophy.

285
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what that kind of you think? He

286
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: and the and he and Bueler were hugging each other

287
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium after the tw twenty four World Series,

288
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: good Nike. Can you imagine if the Dodgers win the

289
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: World Series in twenty twenty five knowing that Clayton is

290
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: is done? Yeah, Like, that's just that's just a wild

291
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: wild I mean, it's just a it's a wild scenario.

292
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: And I'm super I'm super excited for him. Wow, it's

293
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: just a little surreal, right, Like I said, I knew

294
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: it was gonna come, I just I wasn't certain. And

295
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: again it makes sense though, because Clayton is not the

296
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: type of guy, Like he's not David Ortiz, right, he

297
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: doesn't want the twenty seven City like going away parade

298
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother gives them a And I

299
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: love David Ortiz, I love I love his personality. And

300
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: he's big, and he's like loud, and he's obnoxious and

301
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: he's he's all encompassing and that's great, Like that's David,

302
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: that's big, poppy. But Kershaw I would, I think would

303
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: sooner rather like crawl under a rock than have all

304
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: of that attention. And that's why he does this, you know,

305
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: that's why he's doing it now where there's only one

306
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: home stand left, where he's going to pitch and then

307
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: you do the three thousand strikeout night, and then you celebrate,

308
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, clinching and getting into the postseason and doing

309
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: the lap around the stadium the last regular season home

00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: game of the year, and that's it, you know what

311
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean. So there's a reason there's a method to

00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: Well, Ron Stoppable said we need that Kershaw statue at

318
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium asap. How long do you think before that

319
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: thing gets built?

320
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh it's so funny too. So Lon Rosen, who I

321
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: was on the phone with the all day to day

322
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: trying to get some information about this, got so mad

323
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: at me one time when the Sandy Cofax statue was

324
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: going to be Oh my god, I didn't know that

325
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: it was like this big secret, right, So they tell

326
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: us that Sandy is getting a statue, and I just

327
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was like, you know, it's like you

328
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: get a press release and it's like for immediate release,

329
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I didn't see that. I didn't say that.

330
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was just internal information. So I

331
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: tweeted it that Sandy he was getting a Kofak Sandi

332
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: Kofax was getting a statue. You would have thought that

333
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I like took Stan Kastan's kidneys. I got in so

334
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: much trouble for that. So as far as Clayton Kershaw's

335
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: statue is concerned, even if I do know when it's happening,

336
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying a word.

337
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: You know, there's a reason why Lon didn't trust you

338
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: today with some embargoed information, then probably it's.

339
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: A solid point by you. That's a solid solid point

340
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: by you. Yeah, Hey, he definitely definitely deserves it, that's

341
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: for dang.

342
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: Sure, we got more people joining us. Of course, we're

343
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: gonna stay here and hang out with the chat for longer.

344
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: I do have a question I will throw out to

345
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: everybody in some numbers to potentially back it up about

346
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: Kershaw perhaps being the greatest left hander of all time.

347
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 2: But first we got to hear a quick word from

348
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: our friends at foul Territory. Then we'll be back and

349
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: we'll hang out with the chat Chat and talk more

350
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Clayton Edward Kershaw.

351
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: Hey, if you're a card collector or you're looking to collect,

352
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: by sell, trade, Arena clubs this spot. I'm gonna tell

353
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: you why because the old process ag was very clunky.

354
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: Buy a box, rip the pack, tons of comments, send

355
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: it in for grading, and then finally you get everything back.

356
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: This is weeks and weeks and you can start to

357
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: try and sell the card. We have eliminated that with

358
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: Arena club or they have. I act like I'm part

359
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 4: of it, but in really one step.

360
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: Arena's your one stop shop for everything. You get a card,

361
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 5: you open a slap pack, the card is there, it's graded,

362
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: It spins around. Cooley shows you three D the front,

363
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: the back, you can look at the corners, you can

364
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 5: look at everything, and then you get a decision.

365
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: Do I want to keep it? Do I want to

366
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: sell it?

367
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 5: Do I want to trade?

368
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: It?

369
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: Gives you an instant offer. You can buy it back

370
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 5: and re rip another slap pack and try it for

371
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 5: someone else, or you can keep it and hope the

372
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 5: value goes up.

373
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: And sell it a later day.

374
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 5: It is truly the best spot to get cards.

375
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: Twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase

376
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: can be had right now at Arena club dot com.

377
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 4: Slash foul and use code foul.

378
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: We are back, and I'll tell you something about Clayton Kershaw.

379
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: He's good. He's a very good player. If you were unaware,

380
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 2: he is a phenomenal pitcher. And you can argue he

381
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: is the best by by the amount of work that

382
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: he has put in over his career, the best left

383
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: handed pitcher of all time. I'm just stop burying the

384
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: lead here. You see, this is a list of of

385
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: the highest career war wins a by replacement for fangrafts

386
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: of pitchers left handed pitchers in baseball history. Atop that list,

387
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: Randy Johnson you see three hundred and one wins, Steve Carlton,

388
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty seven wins. Down there at five,

389
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: you see Clayton Kershaw. But one of the things, huh no,

390
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, it's so cool about all that the teams

391
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: one team, one team. That's another huge thing. What I

392
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: love about it, though, is is Randy Johnson six hundred

393
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: and three starts, seven hundred and seven, Steve Carlton, you know,

394
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: six hundred and sixteen games for lefty grove, Tommy John

395
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: in there. It's over seven hundred games, seven hundred starts,

396
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw four hundred and forty nine starts, racked up

397
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 2: seventy eight point seven career wins. You know, by at

398
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: this point obviously he's the season is not done. But

399
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: just in terms of of stuff.

400
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: At fewer games, I mean a lot fewer games and

401
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: unbelieving that just shows you how valuable Clayton is.

402
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: He's yeah. I mean, if you're looking at that bye

403
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: by game by ending, you could argue he is the

404
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: most valuable pitcher, valuable lefty of all time. I didn't

405
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: look at the total you know, righty lefty stats and

406
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, but I love the lefty

407
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: factor myself being a lefty even though I throw right handed.

408
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: But that's another whole conversation. I just thought that was fun.

409
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: I thought that was something interesting that that people might enjoy.

410
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: Of course, people in the chat joining us sharing their

411
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: love for Clayton Kershaw as well, Dan saying, first ballot

412
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: hall of Famer. I could not agree more.

413
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: And if not, I will, I will hunt the person

414
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: down that doesn't does not ye into the Hall of

415
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: Fame on the first try. That's just ridiculous.

416
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: Oh this is this is a fun one from uh

417
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: hold on, that's I gotta wait for it to pop

418
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: up from guesh make in the chat, who's saying the

419
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: current Dodgers team drove Kershaw had to retirement. He can't

420
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: take it anymore. Hey, we need some negativity, uh for

421
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 2: just for fundsies. Of course, one thing if if we

422
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: are gonna do that send off swan song for for

423
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw here my bottom of god, the bullpen needs

424
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: to get its act together. Uh. He may be a

425
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 2: part of that postseason bullpen. We don't really know what

426
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: that looks like.

427
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: But I think I actually think Clayton starts a game.

428
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: I think he starts a game in the postseason. I

429
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: think he starts a game in the DS because we're

430
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: not gonna need him in the CS.

431
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with the fact that you know we are

432
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: the team is going to play in a wild card

433
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: game unless things really really change over the next ten

434
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: days or so, you know, you're gonna burn Blake Snell,

435
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna burn Yamamoto early in those wild card games.

436
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: Maybe even you know, uh uh Glass now in that series.

437
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, it could very well come down to a

438
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: game one game two start in the NLDS for Kershaw,

439
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: and he would be facing most likely right now the

440
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: scene season ended and things, you know turned out the

441
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: way we want in the NLTS to be facing the

442
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: Phillies Gods.

443
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: That would that would be crazy, my goodness. Yeah, it's just, uh,

444
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: what are some of like? I mean, I know you

445
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: just said you talked about it. You grew up with

446
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: this dude, right, I know you're a couple of years

447
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: older than him, but you know this is a guy

448
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: that he was the picture of your generation, your your

449
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: fandom as a Los Angeles Dodger fan, like when you

450
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: were really really paying attention and getting yourself ingrained and

451
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: when you know a group of men just like yourself

452
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: could ruin your life over the course of one hundred

453
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: and sixty two game season.

454
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

455
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: Well, what are some of your favorite Kershaw moments?

456
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: Well, I guess one of my favorite, you know, if

457
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: you're looking at at the course of his career, one

458
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: of my favorite Kershaw moments is he's one of the

459
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: guys that you could almost always rely on to if

460
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,600

461
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,520

464
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: year in the regular season, but having that every fifth day,

465
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: you know, for for six seven months a year, it's

466
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: it's been special. And you know, I know all the

467
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 2: talking heads are gonna talk about the postseason. That's that's

468
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 2: been Obviously, that's his bugaboo right there. That's not all

469
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: on him. I put a lot of blame on DoD Maddingly.

470
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: I put a lot of blame on Joe Tory for

471
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: those kind of things. A lot of blame on on

472
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: the front office at that time, not getting him enough

473
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: relief pitching to help out, not enough starting rotation. But uh,

474
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: that's another completely different conversation. But you know what I

475
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: really loved is, even when he was in his hard

476
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: ass modes, seeing silly, dumb Kershaw doing things, the relationship

477
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 2: you know between obviously you guys have your own relationship,

478
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: but watching him, you know, spend time with Joe, David

479
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: an Oral, Herscheiser and all of them just kind of

480
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: being their own version of idiots together in a very fun,

481
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: meaningful way. Whenever Clayton opened up to people. That's what

482
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 2: it was at its best. I leave mister Kershaw alone

483
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: when I'm around him. One of my favorite ones. I

484
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: did ruin his ping pong tournament after this one, because

485
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: this was the twenty eighteen ping punk tournament. He always

486
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: dressed to impress at those ping pong tournaments. I will say,

487
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: but after this, the next year is when they said

488
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: please nobody take photos with any of the players or celebrities,

489
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: because I went around that year just snapping picks with everybody.

490
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 2: So I stopped doing that after.

491
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, can sanak you anywhere?

492
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 5: Now?

493
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: I don't care about them.

494
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: Clayton Clayton, you know, didn't unless you were like obviously

495
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: his family or certainly his teammates. He was very open

496
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: with his teammates, and he could be he could be

497
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: silly with his teammates and you know, show a certainly

498
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: a lighter side of him. But he he's a reserve guy.

499
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: You know, Clayton's not going to give you. He's not

500
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: going to take you someplace that you haven't been before

501
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: unless you're super duper close to him. One of the

502
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: other than obviously the no hitter and just getting to

503
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: know him over the court you know, I met Clayton

504
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: before I started covering the daughters. I met Clayton when

505
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: he was a branch Ricky Award recipient and the award

506
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: ceremony was in Denver, and I was with the Colorado

507
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Rockies at the time, but I happened to be the

508
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: MC of that award ceremony, and I met him then.

509
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: But you know, then I obviously start covering the team

510
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. In twenty fourteen, he as the

511
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: no hitter and all of those things. And I remember

512
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: that moment just kind of getting out of the moment

513
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: or trying to get out of the moment and welcoming

514
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: in Ellen. And it was also around that same time,

515
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: if it wasn't that same day, certainly around that same

516
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: time that they realized that they were pregnant with Calli,

517
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: their first child. And at the time, until just recently

518
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: announced she is still the She was the only daughter,

519
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: the only like granddaughter niece in the Kershaw and Ellen family.

520
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: They had all boys. It was all boys, right, so

521
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: it was like Callie Ann and a billion other boys.

522
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: And now so the book ends are girls because Ellen

523
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: and Clayton are having another girl, which is their fifth.

524
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: So the first and the fifth are girls. But I

525
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: remember that moment and finding that out with them and

526
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: or obviously after them. I wasn't there at the gender reveal,

527
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: but you know, just the point of getting to know

528
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: getting to know that. But the one thing that sticks

529
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: out the most for me is the hardest decision I've

530
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: ever had to make in my professional career is leaving

531
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: LA and leaving the Dodgers and coming here to the

532
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: East Coast. And obviously it was a personal decision. My

533
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: husband was my fiance at the time, and his job changed,

534
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I was living on the West Coast,

535
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: he was on the East Coast. It was just difficult, right,

536
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: So after the Dodgers won the World Series in twenty twenty,

537
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: I had to make a decision and it was the

538
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: most gut wrenching decision I ever had to make because

539
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: I loved that job, Absolutely love that job, Love LA.

540
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: There's not a day that goes by that I don't

541
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: think about being in LA and living in Manhattan Beach

542
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: and covering that team. And you know how much I

543
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: bitch about the weather here, right, So.

544
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 2: It's a lot, but I'll.

545
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: Never forget this is the moment I'll never forget in

546
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: my lifetime. Once I finally agonized long enough and this

547
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: was we're talking months of thinking about this and like

548
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: percolating on this decision. Once I finally made the decision

549
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: to leave, which.

550
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: Was very late. It was really before spring training at

551
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 2: the end of January.

552
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was late. So I finally put

553
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: out the announcement much like Clayton did today. You know

554
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: that the announcement that the Dodgers did. I did one

555
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: of those as well, and I had you know, I

556
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: ran it through the Dodgers and all all the stuff. Right.

557
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: One of the first people to reach out to me

558
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: was Clayton and I didn't reel amy like, and he

559
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: called me, and I was just like that really surprised

560
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: me because I held I hold him in such high

561
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: regard that somebody like the fact that somebody like him

562
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: took the time to say or maybe he just texted me,

563
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: but it took the time to say thank you and

564
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pleasure and good luck and I

565
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Like that was a big deal to me

566
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: because Clayton is Clayton is Clayton, right, and so so

567
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: his his voice, it holds more weight. You know, somebody

568
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: that's a good did his craft as Clayton is, that

569
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: holds a lot, and it made me feel good that

570
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: I hope that he felt I did a good job.

571
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, moments like that I will I will never forget,

572
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: and I hope, I hope, you know, in five years,

573
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: when he's officially allowed to enter the hall, I hope

574
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 1: to be in attendance. I'm inviting myself, by the way.

575
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't expect to get a you better, but I

576
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: hope to be in attendance to witness Clayton go into Cooperstone.

577
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't know all of that. I know

578
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: Kershaw had reached out. I do love that because obviously you,

579
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: as you know you are a still a very beloved

580
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: figure here in Dodger Nation. People still wonder why you're

581
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: not a part of the team, and hopefully people will

582
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: understand now a little bit more instead of making up

583
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: their own bull crap as to why you left the

584
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: organization when you did. But you know, the important thing

585
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: is when it comes to Clayton Kershaw, you are going

586
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: to forever be a part of his story because we're

587
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: going to have that that indelible image of you bailing

588
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: as much as you could on the the water dumping,

589
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: on the gatorade dumping there. For that that no, no,

590
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: should have been perfect. Oh thank you, Hanley Ramirez. Didn't

591
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: didn't that that dress end up in like the Hall

592
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: of Fame or something like that, or how the.

593
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: Shoes the shoes. I so I wore those shoes, which

594
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: at the time. God, now when I go to the park,

595
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: I wear like tennis shoes like normal people. I think

596
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: they were like really really high heels. It used to

597
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: be like taboo for my profession to like wear tennis shoes,

598
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: and you always had to be like very like we said,

599
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: wear dresses, and you know, I'm a hundred, so things

600
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: have changed whatever, Thank god, thank god they've changed and

601
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: you can wear like freaking Air Force ones now to

602
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: the or Jordan's to the to the ballpark. But the

603
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: shoes got trashed and then I wore those same shoes

604
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: for Beckett snow hitter, so it was like two times

605
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: I wore those shoes for no hitters. So that's the

606
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to those shoes. They've they've

607
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: they've been retired. I am in the Hall of Fame,

608
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: but just for the all female broadcast, not because of

609
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: the shoes, but that was an honor. It's an honor

610
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: to be able to to cover greatness like that.

611
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: And we witnessed in the Yeah, witness.

612
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: On a daily you know, and certainly on everything you

613
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: know what I was going to stay on every fifth basis,

614
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: But Clint, we did witness it every day because even

615
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: when Clinton wasn't pitching, he was out there working his

616
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: butt off as if he was pitching that day. I mean,

617
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: he was the first. I mean, I know it's cliche,

618
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: first one there, last one to leave, blah blah blah,

619
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: But truly that's who he is.

620
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

621
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Every time we go to a park in which he

622
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: hadn't pitched in before, it had been a long time,

623
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, if it was out of the NL West

624
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. He's on the mound and he's walking all

625
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: over the mound and he's testing it, and he's getting

626
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: the gauge of the feeling of the mound and going

627
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: to the outfield and throwing you know, the ball up

628
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: against the I guess, yeah, and then hitting it with this.

629
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

630
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Now, all all of that stuff, it's like he was

631
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: such a creature of habit but I mean the great

632
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: ones are right, you like and like the ones that

633
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: are the Jordans of the world or the Kobe's or whatever,

634
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: you know school of thought you're in of who's better Jordan, Lebron,

635
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Kobe whatever. But the you know, the Curshes of the world,

636
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: and those guys they gotta be a little they gotta

637
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: be a little nuts, right to be that good, you

638
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: gotta be a little nuts. And the way that he

639
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: went about his craft and how diligent he was about it,

640
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: and God help you if if you, you know, don't

641
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: talk to you know, they always say, don't talk to

642
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: the starting pitcher of the day of do not do not.

643
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: Stay away from me, you stay away from twenty two.

644
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: And you know, that's one of the things I love

645
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: that that, you know, you get to say twenty two

646
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: and everybody knows I obviously I we caught win. So

647
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: I tweeted twenty two. Hopefully nobody's mad at me over here.

648
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: Foul territory for tweeting twenty two earlier, very just kind

649
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: of loosely throwing it out there. But the fact that

650
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: that's a name, twenty two is a name. These these

651
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: players who who look up to him, consider him a peer,

652
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: whatever it is. They're still like, oh yeah, you know,

653
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: Bueler will be like, yeah, I did it for twenty

654
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: two talking about that World Series last year on Mookie

655
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: Bett's Drunken World Series podcast, that's what That's what Buehler said.

656
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: He was like, you know, what would twenty two do?

657
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, this is what I'm supposed to

658
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: do right here. Yeah, I love this. I was saying

659
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: I love this from simply brand In the chat, by

660
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: the way, she says, I am very sad, as we

661
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: all should be. Again, career's not done yet. We still

662
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: got more time and hopefully one more World Series ring.

663
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: But thank you King Kirsh for an amazing career. I

664
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: miss you. And at the end of his you know,

665
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: the the championship parade and Kershaw going up there last

666
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: year saying I didn't really do anything, but it doesn't matter,

667
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: Dodger for life him kind of breaking in that moment too.

668
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff that still gives you chills.

669
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just insane. It's insane to think like I

670
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: said that, next year, you know, we won't we won't

671
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: be dying to see Kersha's first bullpen quession, you know

672
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, I know it's like now

673
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: it's we were like, oh my gosh, want to show

674
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: hate throwing in Yama and hopefully at that point next season,

675
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 1: you know, Roki Sasaki and all the things. But it's

676
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: always been like when oh my god, kurshas throwing his

677
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: first bullpen session, you know, and it was. He's been

678
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: such an integral part of this team and such a

679
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: he has woven himself through the fabric of this organization

680
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: for such a long time, not just eighteen years in

681
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: the big leagues, I mean twenty plus years since he

682
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: was drafted by this organization, and he is he is

683
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, like Clayton Kershaw is the Dodgers, much to

684
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: the same way that that Sandy is still and Vin was,

685
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: and you know, mister Newcombe, you know when he was

686
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: obviously when he was still here, and.

687
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: He said, God's Clayton, our last Fernando and our last Sandy.

688
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

689
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: And there will never be another there will never be

690
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: another picture. I don't care if you're left handed or

691
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: right handed. Obviously all those guys left handed, but there's

692
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: never going to be another person, not even another pitcher.

693
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: Forget picture. There will never be another person that has

694
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: an eighteen year career as a Dodger. Never had possible

695
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: the history of the game. This is it. Clayton is

696
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: the last pitch, last player you will ever see retire

697
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: as a Dodger that has been in the same uniform

698
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: as long as he has. I mean, who's next. Austin's gone,

699
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: Kenley's gone. I mean it's going to be a long

700
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: long time. Will Smith maybe.

701
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: Will's Yeah, the next closest.

702
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: Past this contract, you know what I mean. I mean,

703
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: it's but that's that's the that's the how special it

704
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: is of what we have witnessed.

705
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a very important thing and why we're

706
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: we're going along today and why we're all here still

707
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: talking about it. It's this is a a special man,

708
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: it's a special player. It's a special he is a

709
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: special part of all of our lives. And you know,

710
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: we we thank him and his family everybody should, uh

711
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: for the amount that he gave to this city. And

712
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: you talked about it much earlier in the show. You know,

713
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: there were those couple of off seasons where crap, like,

714
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: is this the year where he wants to go back

715
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: home and thankfully, you know, he's talked about that more

716
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: of recent vintage that yeah, that that was a real possibility.

717
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 2: But then now we get into these final couple of years,

718
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: the sunset of his career, He's like, I'm happy I stayed.

719
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: I didn't really realize at the time how much more

720
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: important it was for me to stay here. Yeah, you met.

721
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 2: We mentioned it in wherever that graphic went that I had.

722
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: There's one name that's one team right there for Clayton Kershaw.

723
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: Looks all of those Hall of Fame left handers. There's

724
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: one name for the rest of his for his entire

725
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: baseball career, has one La d on there La back

726
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: in my day.

727
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: But I wish, I wish that his middle name was

728
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Lefty instead of Edward Clayton left the Edward Grove Kershaw.

729
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: It would have been cool.

730
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

731
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: But the thing is, it's like he came back, but

732
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: there's still a lot to play for, right. It's not

733
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: like he's it's not like it's Andrew McCutcheon, right who Obviously,

734
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: when you think of the Pittsburgh Pirates, you think of

735
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: Andrew mcutchen, who's probably going to retire soon, if not

736
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: this season if he hasn't already announced it. But it's

737
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: like they have nothing to play for, you know what

738
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean. And Andrew's an unbelievable guy. Not a Hall

739
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: of Famer, but an unbelievable guy, a hell of a player, great,

740
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: great ambassador of the game, great Pittsburgh pirate. But Clayton

741
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: still has a lot to pitch for, and this team

742
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: has a lot to play for. And that's exciting. As

743
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: you said, to go out on top and you way

744
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: in Clayton Kershaw like Frank Sinatra did it his way.

745
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's still a lot of baseball yet to

746
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: be played. Wildcard round. Just keep advancing, boys, you got

747
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: something to play for now, whin win for Kershaw. Let's

748
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: do some more normal show. We do have a dog

749
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: to get to. Then we'll talk a little bit more Kershaw.

750
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 2: Then we'll sign off. But let's get to last leaks.

751
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: All right. So this is Trooper. You've seen Trooper before,

752
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: but he is eight months old and he needs an adopter.

753
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: How this little Pepper who is being fostered in Aliso

754
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Viejo has not received one application is beyond me. You

755
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: guys understand, I understand that there's black dog syndrome. That

756
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: is a real thing. A lot of dogs get overlooked

757
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: that are black in shelters. It's a ridiculous thing. This

758
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: dog is wonderful. He's healthy, he's happy, he's playful, he's

759
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: potty trained, he's least trained. He's great with other dogs.

760
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: He's super with people. Please consider sharing Trooper. He's he's great,

761
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: he's a great, great dog. He's about to be neutered

762
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: in about a month and change at the cost of

763
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: our foundation. And he's just a wonderful, wonderful dog. Please

764
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: consider giving Trooper a chance. And also, you're gonna want

765
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: to be at the park this weekend because of all things,

766
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw but also Guidriy's Guardian Foundation is auctioning off

767

00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we mentioned a charity there. We're going to talk

782
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: more Kershaw his charity efforts. You know, I put the

783
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: ping pong picture up. Of course that raised so much

784
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: money for so many years for Kershaw's challenge, but just

785
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: the sheer amount of work that this is where we

786
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 2: bring more Ellen into the picture. Share amount of work

787
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: that that man did to benefit the Los Angeles community

788
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: and of course his home community in Dallas, but also

789
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: just around the globe. What Kershaw's challenge did for people,

790
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 2: that ping pong tournaments, the backpacks, the shoes that I

791
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: forgot what that event was called Shoes for Kids or

792
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: whatever it was. But the philanthropy of Kershaw, you know,

793
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: he didn't need to do a damn thing, but he did,

794
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: and I just want to make sure people that's another

795
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: thing to appreciate Clayton for is his work not just

796
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: for for him, not even just for his home community,

797
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 2: but for La which has been his home.

798
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: La and Ganda. I mean, they're they're the Kersma's Challenge

799
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: had such a massive impact in Africa. And obviously you

800
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: know Ellen of course spearheading a lot of this. Clayton's

801
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: kind of busy, but Ellen as she is too now

802
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: with all the kids. But you know, it's like there's

803
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: they do a lot in terms of philanthropy, and they

804
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: use their platform for good. They certainly don't have to

805
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: do it, but they choose to do it. And it's

806
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: it's awesome what he gives and all of the different

807
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: people that have been involved in these charities. And you

808
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: can see like Kershaw's Challenge grow over the course of

809
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: the year, right and every time he did an event

810
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas, it's like the entertainment got bigger and bigger

811
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: and bigger. It's like he had Toby Heath there. I mean,

812
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: if you're not in the country, it's whatever, but if

813
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: you are, it's a big deal. Toby Heath and Brad

814
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: Paisley and then yeah, and it's like right young and

815
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: all these different people and it's just really special what

816
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: he was able to do on and off the field,

817
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: and he's just you know, he's he's once in a

Speaker 2: I believe we'll be post gaming myself, Jeff Snyder, potentially

829
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Skinner as well, definitely because we're gonna have to

830
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: be talking more Clayton kersh out there. So guys join

831
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: us all Dodgers here on the YouTube if you don't mind.

832
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: But there was somebody who had a really really good chat.

833
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: I gotta find it again. But they had said he's

834
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: having baby number five, how is he gonna pay the bills?

835
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: A lot of I.

836
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Don't know, I don't know, he's gonna have to get

837
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: a job someplace. I mean, he's retiring now, but that

838
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he doesn't have to work, right, He's

839
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to fill out some go to the job

840
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: market and see what's happening out there in the Dallas

841
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: Fort Worth area.

842
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: Maybe.

843
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: But it is funny though, I don't think like I

844
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: don't see as like ambassador or special assistant to the

845
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: assistant to the assistant. I think Kershaw goes away and

846
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: he does whatever the hell he wants, and he hangs

847
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: out with his kids, and he's not involved in like

848
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: big league baseball. Like he's not going to be a coach,

849
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a scout. He's not going

850
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: to be like hanging around like. You know, guys that

851
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: can't like JT is a is a like JT will

852
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: be a manager one day.

853
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

854
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: By the way, Justin Turner's coming on Foul Territory tomorrow.

855
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him about Kershaw retiring fifteen years in

856
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: the show for JT, we'll talk to him about the

857
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: Cubs clinching all the things. But Kershaw, I could see

858
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: him riding off into the SUNDT and you know, into

859
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: the sunset, like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid have

860
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: a Redford reference and that's it.

861
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the JT thing say about getting me or

862
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: maybe yourself as well. One of those bottles that him

863
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: and Courtney made the about that.

864
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: With the tequila and for fifteen years. That's sick, right,

865
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: that was that was really cool.

866
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: I love the logo as well, with the hat backwards,

867
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: but the h what was the other thing we're talking about.

868
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: I just wanted to make sure.

869
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: First first needing employment. But it's not going to be

870
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: in baseball.

871
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, you know, Sandy, Sandy hung around,

872
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: He was with the team, you know in some sort

873
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: of coaching capacity. Would not be shocked to see twenty

874
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: two show up for spring training here and there. But

875
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: I agree, as good as he would be at everything, like,

876
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: as great as he would be as a color analyst

877
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 2: or or whatever it is. Listen, that job sucks. You know,

878
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: kudos to Nomar.

879
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: Certainly not going to want to be in broadcasting.

880
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, as good as he is with it. But I hope,

881
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: I hope we get more a little bit more kersh

882
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: in our lives before you know, never seeing him again.

883
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: But anyways, thank you Kersha. Guys, go see him. You

884
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: get to see him pitch one final time as a

885
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: for the regular season this Friday. That's my thought for

886
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: the road. Go see twenty two.

887
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah I am, I'm I'm honored, Kershaw. Thank you, Clayton,

888
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,360
