  • Lighten up Dave

    Really good info and insight you have ....but on more than one occasion every night you are condescending and rude. Yes this is a sports pod cast with input from want to be GM's and dudes who think they could've made it. That's the audience, deal with it, you want high value production and takes...go host somewhere else.

    Dave I’m glad you feel better but you’re still off your game. You’re making a fool of yourself with your negativity and inane comments. You have got to buck up!

  • Sick House

    David it’s tough you were sick but you made some stupid comments which make me wonder whether you’re really watching the game or napping due to illness. I’ll take a break and try you in two weeks to see if you’ve pulled your head out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Orel Hershiser (4-22-26)
Q: What was it like facing Will Clark? Was he a tough guy for you to face?
He acknowledges Clark's toughness but explains that he used the wind to his advantage and forced Clark to hit into the wind at Dodger Stadium, turning scouting into a tactical advantage.
Dodger Talk (4-21-26)
Q: What was the key turning point that shifted momentum in tonight's game?
The fourth inning produced a decisive sequence where the Dodgers loaded the bases but grounded into a double play, taking away a potential big inning and leaving the game reactive rather than proactive.
Dodger Talk (4-22-26)
Q: What do you think about Ohtani not hitting on nights he pitches?
There is support for the idea that Ohtani should occasionally avoid DH on pitching nights, with the guests and hosts weighing the strategic benefits of lineup flexibility and maximizing team offense.
Blake Snell (4-23-26)
Q: How patient do you have to be with this process?
The guest explains that patience is essential early on, but as you get closer to returning to meaningful games, the focus shifts to readiness and consistency, with a clear plan to gradually build back to peak performance.
Dodgers on Deck (4-23-26)
Q: How did Otani perform last night and what is his timeline this season?
Otani delivered a six-inning, scoreless or near-scoreless outing as a pitcher and DH, with strong early-season numbers suggesting continued Cy Young-level work; he is progressing but the team notes balance with rest and lineup considerations.
