Talk Dodgers to Me

Our first fan episode of the season is here! We couldn't be more excited to talk to Cindy, Natilie, Neil, Amy and Kaitelyne! From being a kid going to school near Dodger Stadium, growing up trading baseball cards, marrying a Dodger fan and learning about the team to connect with her students, we were blown away by these Dodger fans and their stories. Of course we also asked them about the current team and how they are feeling about the season so far. 

Before we hopped on the zooms, Jaclyn and I caught up on the previous week, our event at Legends' Attic, how we felt interviewing so many Dodger legends and a weekend playing the Yankees at Dodger Stadium.

Our latest episode from our Legends' Attic Series is here after another amazing event! We talked to the voice of the Dodgers, the man behind the call we'll be talking about the rest of our lives "Gibby meet Freddie," the one and only Joe Davis! We couldn't have been more exited to talk to Joe, and he exceeded all expectations!

We asked Joe all about his famous "Gibby meet Freddie" call, the mindset behind this amazing career he has already had, where the teddy bear is that holds the voicemail from Vin Scully, and how the famous call has changed his life!

Stay tuned for after our Joe Davis conversation for a bonus interview with Dillon Kohler from SCP Auctions. Dillon is a part of the team that aquired the grand slam ball and helped it sell for $1.56 million!! He tells us all about how it all happened and what his company does with such amazing sports memorobilia like this.

We recorded this episode after watching the first couple innings of Kershaw's start against the Guardians, and got game updates from Adam along the way including Kershaw being 26 strikeouts away from 3000!Melissa starts us off with fun facts from around the league. We talk about the Mets series which started off with a crazy game including a rain delay and obstruction calls we had never heard of before. We talk about who's slumping, who's heating up and who's on the IL. We talk about the power of Muncy and his comeback, Conforto getting fired up, Pages on a roll, Yamamoto having another lights out performance and a rocky outing from the Cat Man, meow.We have a hard time picking player of the week because all our guys are just so great! But with Will Smith batting over 400 with RISP and Shohei leading the MLB in home runs and hitting a home run in our last 3 games, we did pick our two. Even Adam got in on the fun. Now, our boys are coming back to town and we have the Yankees coming into Dodger Stadium. Go Dodgers!

We have so much to talk about this episode. From a losing streak to a walk off win, we couldn't wait to sit down and get into everything happening with our Dodgers.

We talk about the gala we went to, a bachelorette party Jaclyn went to in Palm Springs and a wedding Melissa went to in Hearldsburg. Jaclyn tells us about secret mud they use for baseballs.

We had to talk about getting swept by the Angels and getting to see some former Dodgers, but we have way more fun talking about our 19-2 win, Yamamoto's 7 shutout innings and Max Muncy's walk off.

We share our thoughts about Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor leaving the team and Dalton Rushing coming up. We get into Clayton Kershaw's first start back and how we're feeling about the future Hall of Famer.

We honor Vin Scully and share stories we love about him, stories of meeting him, and stories of hopefully my ex-boyfriend hearing this episode and giving me my Vin Scully signed ball back!

Our boys are off on the road again and we are hoping they keep this win streak alive!

Tell us why you love baseball and the Dodgers!

We have so much to talk about today! From our experiences off the field to on the field in more ways than one. We start off on a bang with Shohei's no doubt home run where we saw him troll another team for the first time ever.

We talk about interviewing Orel Hershiser and getting the invite to watch a pre-game show at Spectrum Sportsnet LA. We talk all about the Women in Sports Conference at Dodger Stadium, the inspiring panelists we learned from, and the amazing women we met at the event.

We hit a quick pause to call into the Roggin & Rodney show on AM570 where we learn of Barnes getting DFA'd and share all our thought on that and how the radio show went! And we even have some surprise guests at the end!

Tricia Gray joins us in the last segment of this episode. Tricia is the President of the Women in Health Administration (WHA) and COO of CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. Melissa and Jaclyn learn all about what this incredible association does for women in leadership, all they are doing to advance women's healthcare, and to help those pursuing careers in healthcare.

We couldn't have anyone other than number 55 himself for this episode, so please welcome back our favorite Dodger legend Dr. Orel Leonard Hershiser IV. From learning about his childhood to getting kicked out of college, we sit with our pal and go back to how he got into baseball in the first place.

We asked Orel what it was like to be Orel Hershiser in 1988 and the years after his World Series MVP award and World Series win. We get into pitching injuries, where the name Bulldog really came from, and we even ask him questions from our mom's in honor of Mother's Day!

We get into how Orel felt about Freddie's grand slam in the World Series to his thoughts on the current team. And as always, we could keep talking to Orel all day long but we'll have to save something for next time! We couldn't be more grateful to have Orel on this episode, in our lives and all of his advice, guidance and support behind our podcast. We really hope you enjoy this episode!

Well, the Dodgers have been on the road for 10 days and although we miss watching them at Dodger Stadium, they have been playing really well! With some unfortunate injuries (sending you all our love Tommy & Teo) it's been fun watching other guys step up, especially the highly anticipated Hyeseong Kim!

We get into all of it, especially all of our thoughts surrounding Hyeseong's hot start! We talk about who is heating up, Tony Gonsolin's first start back with the team (meow!) and of course, Muncy's new glasses. We discuss the Braves series, Marlins series, city-connect jerseys we like and don't like, and how we feel going into the Diamondback series.

It's the week of Mother's Day so we talk about our amazing mom's and how much they mean to us. Sending all of our love to all of the amazing mom's and mother figures out there! Go Dodgers!

We are back and so are our players bats! After a bit of a cold streak, our boys came back to Dodger Stadium and have come to life before our eyes. And for those of you who watch our podcast, we are in our new studio! It's coming together and we're excited to have you watch it evolve over the next few weeks.

We've officially swept the Marlins and after taking 2 of 3 from the Pirates, our boys are looking good! It was hard for us to even choose who to name player of the week because a couple of our guys are on fire! We did make a choice so stay tuned towards the end of the episode to see if your choice matches ours.

Adam gives us in game updates so you get our full reaction to our boys scoring 12 yesterday and Max Muncy's first home run of the season! So happy for Max!

We talk about how impressed we are with our team, our experience at a couple different games this week, and a follow up to last weeks episode where we opened up about what's really going on behind the scenes in our personal lives. We ran into my former co-workers from Spago which really made things full circle as that is where I first met Orel Hershiser!

We couldn't thank you listeners enough for your messages of support and encouragement. We hope you reach out when you are at a game so we can meet you!

We also have an exciting interview at the end of the episode with talented singer, Erin Ross. Erin sang the National Anthem at the Laker game a couple weeks ago and was so good, a Dodger owner heard her and asked for her to sing at an upcoming Dodger game! She tells us all about her journey as an artist and experience at Dodger Stadium. We loved chatting with Erin and will be catching her performance Friday, May 7 in West Hollywood at Hotel Ziggy.

We are back and unfortunately, we're coming off of another Dodger loss. Boy are we tired of playing the Cubs! We give our choice for player of the week, how we feel about the Big 3 not hitting, pitchers going down, the woe of errors from our team, and how much the windy city is effecting our boys.

We get personal today and take you in on how things are really going behind the scenes, how Jaclyn is enjoying the podcast so far and the rollercoaster of emotions starting a business is.

We're looking forward to our boys coming back home and hope to see you at the Pirates series this weekend!

We have former Dodger, 2x World Series Champ, NL Rookie of the year, 5x all star and Silver Slugger Steve Sax on the podcast today! I was so excited to talk to Steve and learn all about his playing days and what he's up to now.

Steve tells an amazing story of how advice from his father helped him out of "the yips", what it was like coming to play for the Dodgers right at the start of "Fernandomania", and if he thinks the reaction to Shohei Ohtani is similiar.

We relate on living with grief and how we honor the loved ones we've lost, as Steve has with the foundation he created in his late son's honor, The Capt. Sax Foundation. In an effort to raise money for the cause, Steve partnered with MLB to digitize a painting, "Babe and the Kids," by award-winning sports artist Opie Otterstad. The painting turned NFT is of Hall of Fame baseball players as kids and you can learn about all the different faces in the piece just by clicking on them.

The foundation funds grants and scholarships to students and schools upholding the foundation’s mission of supporting and producing successful aviators.

There's a really fun moment where our friend Orel Hershiser crashes the interview, leading me to ask both of them their thoughts on our current Dodger team.

You can listen to Steve's podcast "Sax in the morning" wherever you get podcasts and hear him broadcasting for the Athletic's this season. Thanks, Steve!
