[Music] hey hi hello everybody Welcome to the LIVE edition of Dodgers territory on this Thursday afternoon I'm Alana Rizzo alongside my guy Clint pus we're taking you through the next 30 35 minutes we appreciate you join the conversation get those questions in load up the chat for us raus five star subscribe YouTube wherever you get your podcast by the way be mode Clint pus is going to be on the show today Matt Ryan Kemp is scheduled to appear before that let's get into the big ticket let's do [Music] it all right taking a look at the Cub series that just happened Dodgers are off today before they start another series um what did you take away from it what was your biggest headline well you don't want to lose that Series against the Cubs but if we're looking positive we're going to spin positive I can't not be happy about seeing Yoshi noo Yamoto absolutely carve up the freaking Cubs four Innings 8ks a run was it three hits he just looked phenomenal the the ability to dominate still there despite missing you know what is it close to three months with that shoulder injury I've been telling you Alana he's my game one guy and I think this has to solidify it even more yeah the Cubs aren't you know they're not the 2016 Cubs they're not the the Yankees or whatever they're they're okay but uh I like I like what you see out of Yamamoto what do you think one thing I took away from this has nothing to do with the Dodgers Pete Crow Armstrong is a hell of a defensive outfielder my goodness some of those catches Max mun's got to be like what do I have to do to get a home run but anyway good for him he looked great defensively but yes I was wondering what Yoshi noo Yamamoto was going to look like coming off the I he's been on the shelf for quite some time you say he's an ace uh you were very excited about that he looked good I mean he did he did show me something there um I still think flarity is our number one starter unless Tyler glasnow comes back and he's okay but Yoshi no Yamamoto um looked really good looked exactly where he needed to be coming off the iil you know you got two and a half weeks I mean Wild Card round Clint pus Clint James pus starts three weeks from yesterday so we're running out of time here but he did look good I mean he goes four Innings gives up the four hits just the one earned run no base on balls which you love to see that and he had eight Cas so for what we expected him to give in terms of the amount of pitches he was going to be allowed to throw I thought Yoshi Noble Yamamoto looked good on the position player standpoint Tommy Edmund had won heck of a series mmy Tommy Tommy taters this guy back-to-back multihomer games hitting 300 as a Dodger Ops over 800 uh playing some really nice Center Field playing some nice short stop it's like maybe Andrew fredman in the front office know what they're doing at the trade deadline but this this kid has been a fun addition to the lineup uh he's he's swiping some bags as well um hitting with runners in scoring position he's getting on base keeping Innings going when uh when there's you know an out two outs he's he's doing a little bit of everything and and I think he's filling a a massively important role there in like the lower half of the lineup where you know behind him or in front of him you're going to have uh Max Muny who we know what Max Muny can do and just makes this lineup once again makes it that much deeper than that much more frightening when you get into a short series or even a long Series in October but Tommy Edmond that that that was a great great great pickup for this team yeah six for 13 four home runs six RBI over the course of that breakout series for him and again I was super psyched about uh you know some of the folks coming over I didn't know what we were going to get from Tommy Edmond he's turned into Manny Ramirez Juan toio I don't know about that I don't know about that com that calm down uh slow your roll there a little bit but he looks he looked good and again to your point given some depth to the part of the lineup uh great defensive player I'll take it uh Linda Gale I'm gonna go that I'm gonna say that Linda's Italian Linda Del PCA and Shi worth the price of admission no doubt I mean they were they were absolutely incredible by the way I mean Shi again um show Tommy Bob Nightingale what's up my man joining the show we appreciate you um probably not really Bob Nightingale but that's okay the point is uh Show's close again and it's really good what did you think about the fact though in your opinion uh flarity and Yamamoto two good starting pictures we feel good about in terms of health and performance I like that but two's not enough Clint yeah two is not enough um there's some help on the way they say we had some positive uh you know progression with Tyler glasnow this week he's gonna throw I think it's a live Bullpen tomorrow and then after that they're set if all things go well they're set to activate him and and he'll be another guy that's on pitching uh you know an inning limit or pitch count but beyond that you know we were hoping to get something out of Walker bu that's not a thing Bobby Miller I'm sorry Bob I talked about him on a postgame stream on my channel last night I'm out I am strongly out on Bob Bob Miller I'm call it's not even Bob is Robert Miller I'm I'm done his season should be done I don't think he's gonna have uh provide very much um you know positive he's not gonna be additive to this team in October but yeah there's there needs to be a third guy there needs to be a fourth guy in a postseason rotation they don't quite have those dudes right now of course Gavin Stone most likely done for the year with that that shoulder inflammation maybe could come back in an LCS situation they don't know we don't know where he's at but you're missing some guys and once again we come back we Circle back it's full circle Lana you've been worried about the starting pitching situation all season long and you wonder where this team would be at without that flarity addition but they still need more I'm I'm still worried about it I'm still worried about it you can't go into the postseason with this many question marks what about Landon Knack is that enough for you you know what he's he's looked a lot better he showed a lot in his uh his kind of spot start there on Friday he's going to get another start this weekend in Atlanta whether it's Friday I haven't seen if they've announced the rotation yet or whether that's flare on Friday and then Landon Knack but he's got a real opportunity in front of him especially with Walker ber kind of taking a big step back in this Cub series uh you know you wonder I'm still going to hold out hope I'm I'm very much I love Walker bu I love what he's done for this organization he's an absolute monster in the postseason but he's pitching his way out of any possibility of being a part of this uh of this um postseason rotation or even you know the pitching staff as a whole Landon KN has an opportunity right in front of him if he can just give this team five six solid Innings over his next two or three appearances because he will be in the rotation he will be getting starts he could be that guy that sneaks in and plays an important role as a number four guy for this team in October it's crazy to me to think that there might be a situation Clint where we have a postseason we don't have a Justin Verlander or Kershaw on a postseason roster for the Houston Astros or the Los Angeles Dodgers H let me talk to you a little bit more about Walker buer it's one thing when you see Walker and you just know that his stuff isn't quite right because he's just not quite back to where he needs to be pre second surgery it's another thing in entirely when Walker beer who is one of the most confident guys I've ever seen take the ball one of the most confident humans in general and you see quotes that you start to question whether he's questioning himself as far as uh where he's at mentally um you can see a quote by fabbi and ouria who does a great job covering the Dodgers for the athletic where it says I screwed us from the jump at some point given the way the season's going I'm kind of just trying to survive it at some point that does not sound you know who that sounds like remember Mike bull singer oh man who was like you know I just I'm just not a starter I don't even know why they run me out there every fifth day which by the way that I'm totally paraphrasing he probably didn't say it exactly that way so please do not start yelling at me on Twitter but it reminds me of a guy that doesn't have any sort of confidence and that is a complete 180 from who Walker bu is yeah I mean he's he's a th% gone through the ringer over the last three seasons but this season has been as close to a nightmare as you can get for Walker ber uh they've tried everything I think they've literally thrown the kitchen sink at it and it just has not worked he had that little stretch where things were kind of trending in the right direction but right now it's just it's not there the mentals are not there and it's kind of a situation you know I'll bring up Gavin Lux in this you know early in the season he wasn't saying very much didn't have that kind of um he didn't have the mentals on his side with that the confidence on his side now you see a completely different human being in Gavin Lux when he steps up to the plate that's just completely Mia right now for for Walker ber and I he doesn't have time he really does not have time to find it I don't think he does for this team let me ask you a question let's talk about Anthony Banda here for just a hot second um on Fair territory Ken Rosenthal it's on his show talked about a dude in a dork of the week and Anthony band was a candidate for dork of the week and uh in a moment of unclarity or whatever it was that Dave said a moment of frustration he decides to punch a wall why do pitchers always Punch walls like can we find something else for them to like get their stress give them a stress ball like let's get somebody G's Guardian foundation will start sponsoring stress balls because why are you punching walls you're you're you're you're jeopardizing your season you're jeopardizing your health you're jeopardizing your career and you're not for nothing you're effing over your team damn straight the team part is the part that frustrates me uh more than anything but it's it's stupid it's embarrassing and I mean we know Bond already feels dumb about it we know Dave is annoyed the team should be annoyed but guys if you're going to punch don't use your pitching hand don't use the money maker use the other one they can figure something out if you're you know hitting with your right hand or here something maybe just don't punch with any hand maybe you just don't punch stuff like you're not going to win against a wall I have yet to see somebody punch a wall or run into it Jake plumber Denver Broncos quarterback and live to see it through it like that's just so dumb like I mean come on man like I just Don sponsored break rooms yeah I just you know I don't I think it's silly but anyway not for nothing now now you're you're hurting your team and that you can ill afford to to do so you know this is where I feel bad for pitchers because Alana you were in that Dugout for a long time with the Dodgers you know there's the the tunnel there's the door that has well there's also yeah there's also the the bat rack there but there's that door that takes its fair share of abuse at least hitters get to swing a bat at a door at some anatom object which is also dumb we'll throw it out there it is very dumb to do that as well it's also dangerous but with pitchers they have to kind of like what do I do with my hands while I guess I'm gonna just start no you you mentioned the bat wreck Andre Ethier took a bat to that door too so it wasn't it wasn't just the bat rck um if you guys ever get a chance to take the Dodger stadium tour they'll take you through the uh you know the dug out there just look at those double doors that take you into the tunnel and into the Dodgers Clubhouse going to see some frustrations oh there's some frustration no doubt about it all right uh beast mode is coming up in just a few

Ryan Kemp joining the show Now Matt it is always great to see you first of all before we get into this say hello to your beautiful mother uh I I want to say thank you but before that congratulations on a on a career um that has just been so fun to watch what was it like for you you've had a moment to reflect on it to go back to Dodger Stadium and retire as a Dodger what was that experience like for you uh it was unbelievable man to be able to see a lot of familiar faces and to be able to uh just be around the boys again being in the locker room that's a there's a lot of stuff you miss about about being a baseball player not just baseball but just the camaraderie and and to be able to be in the locker room with the boys and and to do all those things and even be around the the great fans uh there there was a lot of love and uh you know I miss being there day in and day out but uh it was a it was it was a good uh a good goodbye and uh now now we're in a different stage of of of our of my life and now I get to go to the stadium as just a I guess a regular fan I want to follow up on that for a second we let Clinton jump in here it took you a minute to be able to want to go back to the stadium I mean it's hard when you're an athlete and you finish your career and it's all that you've ever known to come to terms with that how long did it take you to do that and know that you were all right uh what was my last I mean my last baseball game was 2020 it's 2024 so uh my plan was to retire at the age of 40 I'll be 40 in uh 12 days so I I'm I still should be playing baseball my plan was I still should be playing baseball but uh God's plan was bigger um it it it took a while man it's something that I've been doing since I was four years old and uh I mean I guess to say goodbye there's some players that never even have have retired so uh they haven't like formally retired but for me it was uh just to to to say goodbye to everybody and and kind of just start that next chapter in in life you know Matt we we won we we appreciate you coming on we appreciate the video we're seeing here uh you know inducing uh I love that you put that together uh Dodgers fans are going to love you for the rest of their lives appreciate everything you did what's the thing you miss most about the game and and putting on a Dodger uniform man uh I mean there's a lot of there's a lot of different things but I mean nothing really matches uh Dodger Stadium at night um playing against I don't know a rival or the Arizona Diamondbacks or the Giants or whoever playoff baseball dodg Dodger Stadium Stadium playoffs against the Cardinal maybe yeah it's just it's just a different feel and it's crazy man you see a lot of guys come over from different teams and uh every time they experience putting on a Dodger uniform I mean I feel like people play better when when they're in that uniform because I feel like Dodger fans do a really good job of of holding us accountable when we suck they're going to let us knowing we suck and uh and and for me it's like I needed to when when I sucked I needed to hurry up and get out of that because I didn't want I didn't want them bullying me or being mad at me so they hold us accountable and I mean just the energy in there is electric and you know you could be in a batter's box and you can look in the stands and you might see one of your favorite actors or actresses or models or whoever but there's just something about La that's that that you can't you can't repeat or any it's just one of those places that you have to go there to to uh to see it for yourself it brings out the best in you yeah we've heard a lot a lot from other fan or other players kind of coming over and sharing that that sort of uh uh that feeling you're saying there if you you have to play better when you're wearing dodger blue just before you joined us here I was talking about that that poor defenseless uh door there the double doors down I was cracking up I what we were told before we were able to see talk about that you know you're holding yourself accountable there or whatever you know you're playing like crap you're going to take it out on some things what's the wildest situation either maybe you've gotten yourself into you've seen a playist we remember Dre day going off on the bat rack an iconic I mean that was that was uh yeah I wasn't really a bat rack guy if if I was gonna if I was going to do something it was going to be where somebody didn't see it but Dre was definitely known for that but the crazy thing about it is like for me that was like something that Dre would do and then the next at bat he'd go up there and hit a home run so it kind of like something that he needed to just get out of his system it would calm him down but the crazy thing is when he started having kids you started not seeing it as much he was way more calm so uh but the the the younger D the younger Dre when he had no when he was kidless with just with just his wife he was he was nuts and now he has four kids he and Maggie have four kids so how has becoming a dad you and Amber have a little girl just beautiful baby girl how is how has that changed you Matt oh man it just it just made me realize that that it's it's not about me it it's not about me it's not about anybody but you know being there for my daughter being a dad and it's kind of cool to be able to to like have have Tyler as I've gotten younger because I have a lot more time to do a lot more things with her rather than if I was playing I'd probably be a lot more busier but uh it it's definitely changed changed my life and uh I mean it's it's the best thing that's happened to me she's she's 3 years old but she's crazy and it's it's hard to it's hard to keep up with her because she's probably one of the most active kids I've I've ever known yeah like that like daughter like Daddy what was it like we had a fan question that wanted to know here what would that chemistry was like between you and Andre I mean it's so important to have your outfielders have good communication I do believe you guys are boys what was that like for you yeah uh it was great you know me and Dre we um we we first met each other in the fall league and um he was actually playing for Oakland at the time and uh I've told this story before but when he got traded over from Oakland you know Oakland was pretty much known for like I think they had a rule in the minor leag is where every tenant back every tenant bats they had to have like three walks and I was like when he got traded over to to La I was like hey bro that doesn't slide here like I was like we we hit bombs and we drive and runs and he's like I got you man you know he always he he always had really really good uh uh plate discipline but uh you know he became more of a power hiter when he came over here because he was trying to trying to keep up with us but our chemistry man I I remember one season we got pretty much called into the office and uh um they told me and Dre that like right field was one of ours it was we were competing for right for right field job and then we got to spring training we looked at each other like man that's my boy so like whatever happens happens but we both played so good that they threw me in Center they threw him in right and it was just like one of those situations where we were like man y'all aren't gonna it's not they didn't necessarily try to pin like P like pin us against each other but it was like kind of kind of felt that way I was like man we're both we're both Ballers so it ended up to where I was he was on the on the left side of me and I was on the right side of him that was that was a fun a fun outfield for quite some time definitely miss seeing you boys run out there to to Center and right field got a pretty good team on the field for the Dodgers right now even though they maybe don't have center field uh they didn't have center field figured out for a little bit anytime you got M bu right field you're gonna have a very very good baseball team what do you like about this uh 2024 edition of the ball club they're fun to watch man I I I'm just kind of jealous man because i' I've been a part of some really really great teams but I I've never like the stuff that that that's going on on the field right now with them man it's just something you've never seen with Otani mie Freddy just kers it just it's like I can name about 20 different players that can be superstars on on another team and and it's just they're just they're just very consistent man i' I've I've never seen a team you know you know like I say with the Dodger fans they're like we need to do this or we need to do that we've lost uh seven games in a row and then they'll win like 20 games in a row I'm like y'all need to calm down man like this is baseball a lot of crazy stuff happens in baseball and you just got to be patient but I mean they're getting at the at the point where like it's it's it like they're get they're they're playing really good baseball and they're getting hot at the right time September is the time you want to really jail together and do some special things and I mean you got a dude that that literally I I believe will be a 50/50 I was I was I remember one year I I almost got 4040 and they asked me what I needed to do to win MVP and I said maybe may maybe the next year I need to go 50/50 and you know they they printed it on the paper and it says it says Matt km will go 50/50 next year and uh we got you got somebody on the team's actually about to do it plus I think people I think people don't realize that this dude can win 20 games on on a mound like he's a he's a he's a freaking s superhero and I don't think we've ever seen anything like it yeah let me ask you this let me ask you this Matt it's not always one and the same what's the most talented team you've been on and what's the team that's had the best chemistry and the best Brotherhood that you've been on I think the most talented would have to be like was it was it 09 Manny was 09 right 08 when he 08 08 08 09 but that would be one of my my my my favorite favorite team teams to play on but 2018 the chemistry in La was like way different like we were all doing a lot of things together and uh I I wish we could have won a World Series that year we came up short but like I said before that was probably the most fun I've ever had on a team and I wasn't even playing every day maybe that's why so so uh so but that was that was definitely the most fun I had ever had yeah what was that like coming back in 18 I know you've talked about it but now you you're that much further removed there were still you know some of a lot of the familiar faces there but like you said it was it was different that 08 those 09 teams those were you guys you guys came up you know the Jacksonville five came up and established that this was what this ball Club was a lot of people still figuring some things out um when you came back in 18 this was a team that already you know just kept getting better getting better just went to a World Series the year before running off this crazy uh run of of uh division titles and all that what was the the difference in Aura between those early teams and kind kind of what you came back to uh I know this this might sound crazy but I think it'll make sense to a lot of people I feel like if we had had like a Kik Hernandez on those 0809 teams the the way he just made like I said I've said it before like he made baseball really really fun and he made he made he made the clubhous he's crazy he's very crazy but he makes baseball like really fun and it it it you make it more of of a kids game when you have somebody on the team like that that's Goofy and and could could play around and then also in the playoffs get really big hits and do a lot of great things on a team Matt you're one of the few Dodgers that we can talk to that was back there in the Vero Beach days to the Camelback Branch days uh you walked those Halls with Legends of the game I know you had special relationship with Don Nukem obviously the way that he related to you guys every batting practice the best dressed man in the world is sitting right there but he had a really good connection with players of color too you and Kenley and what's that like for you and what do you hope is the Matt Kemp portion of that Legacy I mean kind of just to continue that Legacy of of of Dodger greats I mean those those guys you know paved the way for us and they also they also uh made it told us that it's okay to be us to have that type of swagger and and to play hard but I mean those guys I I don't think I'll ever be able to you know like guys like Don Nukem and those guys I'll never be able to uh to uh even imagine that some of the stuff they went through back in the days of like sleeping in different hotels and you know a lot of those other other crazy things that happened to them you know I was you know blessed enough to not be able to experience stuff like that but the the most special thing about um you know that is like wearing a Dodger uniform it's a it's a legendary Jersey is something that you know everybody sees it it's never it's never changing it's never going to change it's just one of those iconic jerseys that you put on and it's something that the Dodgers did a really good job of of of teaching us when we're in the minor leagues like the the history of the Dodgers and to be able to to uh to learn the history and then be really really close to to people that uh that actually were a part of that history is pretty cool so I guess you can say I have a little I'm I'm a a I have somewhat a little bit part in that history now so I can kind of like pay that forward but just to be able to be uh Associated to to the team is like is TR is truly a blessing I'm L lucky to be able to have done that yeah I I'll tell you as a as a longtime fan of this team Matt you know uh they need you this organ organization needs people like you Andre Russ Martin people that will continue to spread that good word of Dodger baseball because there were some lean years there uh you know early mccort times Fox like killing some ties of players guys like you the next versions that are going to be the next Don Nukem the next my Wills thankfully Bulldog still around thankfully Eric Carol still but I'll tell you this is a plead to you guys hey this organization needs you around some way form I appreciate that man and we appreciate again everything you did for this organization so we know you're at the golf course today i' ask you some golf man got challenge one of these days too but besides golf what comes next that camp I mean I don't know I don't know I don't know what to do man uh there's so many things I want to do but I can I'm only one man I can only do so much um I mean I would love to I mean kind of Dibble and Dabble in TV and figure out if I'm good at that because I know that's not an easy job um there's you know I still like to to Mentor you know I got a few kids some in college some in high school you know uh mentoring kids I got a big old bat and cage at my house kids come and we just have like break sessions I call it the kitchen I call I call my h i call my h i call my my hidden hidden lab the kitchen because that's where we cook so I still love to like I love to teach people about the game and and just to I guess like I said Pay It Forward and like teach kids what I didn't know about the game when I was when I was younger and I got taught so I I feel like that's one of my jobs if you could go back and tell Matt Kemp the Matt Kemp that was uh drafted the Matt Kemp that had his you know first day in the big leagues if you could go back and tell that young man something that you know now what do you wish it would have been oh man dude I I don't know if we have enough time there's a lot time in the world mat K I have a list there's like a list of things that I would probably tell myself that I didn't know when I was younger I I was blessed enough to have some some really good mentors but like there's a lot of things that you you got to learn on your own when it comes to like being a big leager but I mean the main thing is just always I feel like always trying to get better um you know you're only as good as your I feel like you're you know when you have a really good season I feel like you have to go into the next season and work even harder to to uh to to have an even better season you know in baseball man it's hard to be really really consistent because it's just a game of failure and you're going to have a lot of you know hot and cold moments look at like Francisco Landor where you know he struggled the last year I believe year and a half and now he's like he's back and he's in a in a race to win MVP um baseball is just it's just the hardest sport in the world other than golf I think golf is way harder than baseball baseball is really really hard um it's just a SP it's a sport that like it's unless you're Otani you can't just dominate a year in and year [Laughter] out that's I mean that's all I would say is just just when you have a good season work even harder man that's I wish I could I could uh tell myself um I I worked hard but I feel like you had to you have to work a billion times harder because I feel like people are just gunning for you every season especially when you're the man hey hey competition you you know what that does it makes a really good outfield for the Dodgers sometimes and in left or in right field and in Center you got to have that competition the next guy coming after you um definitely that's definitely what I feel like we're kind of missing in the game right now is the competition of like I think now we're people get mad at me if they want to I really don't care but like I'm kind of I was on the back end like I started to see like you know teams giving kids jobs instead of them earning jobs like when we were in the minor leagues like they literally like hey Dre Kim right Fields you're the it's one of y'all y'all go compete for it and do it now it's like there's a there's a level of competition that keep it keeps you going and you want to strive to be better and better and better and now it's getting to the point where like they'll just give out jobs and then kids go and struggle and it's like what happened is because you threw them into the you threw them into the fire and they weren't ready y wer ready but you know what is what it is but I mean there these these these kids now they're they're super athletic super talented and uh shoot they're going to be making 60 70 million a year like here in the next two or three years these these salaries are getting getting crazy I want to be reincarnated and come back as a younger a younger person hey somebody get NED kti on the phone he'll get you another big bag man I want to I remember I remember one year I hit 248 I had like 30 home runs and like 90 something marbi and they said he's he's terrible he sucked you hit 248 now with with 30 home runss they GNA be they gonna be like here's $50 million a year I got booed out of the stadium for hitting 248 the game has absolutely changed over the last 10 15 years hey so probably somebody be mad at me some mad good hey Hey listen people are gonna be mad about everything you could say everything perfect and they're still gonna be mad I I'll call it a perfect day though man I was at that retirement game uh where you were there uh I loved every bit of it a little warmer than I wanted it to be but it was it was a fun experience Dodgers walking dude I asked um I asked
