8/30 H2: Tommy Edman joins the show

Roggin and Rodney are joined by Tommy Edman of the Dodgers. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
All right, Well, continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete La
sports pretty psyche as the Dodgers get ready to open
a four game series against the Diamondbacks, and we talked
about it earlier, Rodney, Yeah, it's an important series for
the Dodgers. It is a critical series for Arizona. And

(00:24):
we also discussed the fact that this is a really
good chance for the Dodgers, as you would say, to
impose their will. The opportunity is presenting itself right now.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
The opportunity to close the door, to shut the door,
to kick the door down, to kick it in, to
shut it all those things, all those cliches you want
to think about. It is that opportunity for the Dodgers. Diamondbacks. Obviously,
since all Star Break have been on fire, they're holding
their own they're right there. But when you get a
chance to play your division rival, like you mentioned earlier, Fred,

(00:59):
it almost counts is too yep. And so to do
damage in Arizona is going to be huge, not only
just within the standings of the NL West and the
National League, but also there's so many implications but also
just the psyche of the Diamondbacks.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
If we are able to go there, and beat up
on them. All right, So we are thrilled. We are
thrilled because joining the show now is one of the
newest Dodgers and someone who has already made a great impact. Tommy,
Edmund and Tommy, thanks for jumping on here.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, thank you very much. It's been a good time
so far in La.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah. Well, you know you're happy to be in La, right,
everybody's here to see.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Your Yeah, of course, everyone knows I'm the superstar of
the team.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, Hey, Tommy, Alicia, mama knows. Right, Your mama knows
that you're the superstar of the team, and that's the
way all mamas are. But from what I understand, your
mom was always a Dodger fan. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
No, she grew up in LA and grew up rooting
for the Dodgers. She continued to follow them even when
she went off to college and in Massachusetts, and yeah,
she's just been a fan of them for forever.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
All right. So I want your reaction when you found out,
and then I want the reaction of your parents when
you told them that you were coming home.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, it's I mean, getting trade is always a bit
of a weird feeling, you know. I've been with the
Cardinals for eight years, so there's a lot of different emotions,
you know. Obviously it was sad to be leaving a
lot of my teammates and coaches who had who had
been with for a while, but really excited to be
coming to another great organization like LA and you know,

(02:44):
just being able to join a team in the middle
of the penneries and hopefully have a long playoff run
as well. And when I told my parents though, my
parents were very excited to have me and my wife
and my son closer to them on the West coast.
You know, it's just been fun to to see a
lot of people, have a lot of family and friends

(03:07):
that have been able to to watch me play a
little bit more so looking forward to some more of that.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, and so so Tommy, you know, it's kind of
a crazy thing when you when you look at the
trade three team trade, it's kind of all over the place.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
When did you get word? And when did you know?
I mean?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
And and also you know, you're you're a guy you know,
had was banged up a little bit too, So when
did you find out? When did you know that this
this thing was going to happen? And you were about
to be a Dodger.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, it was. I mean it was unexpected because I
was injured. I didn't I didn't think I was really
a big candidate to be traded. I knew it could happen,
but I didn't think I was a big candidate, just
because I hadn't played all year, and I really only
found out like a few minutes before the the news
kind of broke, and it was it was certainly very surprising.

(03:59):
But you know, I'm pumped to be here now and
I'm just glad that I'm healthy again and able to contribute.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, no, we all are.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
And were you Were you aware that that you had
kind of been on the Dodgers radar for for a while,
because Andrew Freeman came out after after the trade went
down that you were a guy that kind of they
had their eye on for a number of years now,
Were you aware.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Of that at all?

Speaker 3 (04:23):
No, No, pretty much just rumors, you know, like I'd
seen my name like links to the Dodgers before, but
there wasn't anything that made me think I was going
to get traded there. So yeah, And also, I mean,
I think looking at me as a player and guys
of the Dodgers have had. Being a multi positional guy,
guy who can play just about anywhere on the diamond,

(04:45):
seems to make sense as a as a get fit.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Tommy Edmund is our guest, all right. You hear a
lot about the Cardinal way, the Cardinal way to play baseball,
and then there are people that say, no, the Dodger way,
the Dodger way to play baseball. U is there a
difference between the two or are they very similar?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I mean I don't I personally don't really think too
much about like a specific organization's, you know, ways of
playing the game. I think it more just comes down to, uh,
who are the best players and the leaders on the
team are and everybody kind of falls in line after them,
you know. So both Saint Louis and LA have been
blessed with with guys who are both incredible players who

(05:27):
work really hard and play the game the right way,
and I think everything else kind of falls in line
after that. So I guess in that way there are
some similarities.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
And and and just from an organizational standpoint. The time,
I've played in the NFL for a number of number
of years and played for six different teams, and not
all teams are made equally. Trust me, they there are
some organizations that do things first class and there are
other ones that that that I've talked about that just uh,
it feels like you're in the minor leagues. But when

(05:57):
you look at the Cardinals and you look at the Dodgers,
from what everybody has said, the way they operate as
an organization, from top to bottom is is first class.
Do you see it the same way like when you
came from the Cardinals and you came to the Dodgers,
where there are a lot of similarities that the way
they go about business and the way the organizations run

(06:18):
is at the top of the business.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, I think so. I think it's just the quality
of the people within the organization. You know, everybody both
both organizations are very cohesive units. You know, everybody has
that has that goal of winning the World Series, and
you know it does it, does it the right way.
You know, treats everybody well, treats everybody with respect, works

(06:43):
extremely hard, and and has their their eyes set on
the goal. So in that way, I can definitely see
there's there's a lot of similarities and that's what you
have to do in order to have the the kind
of sustained success that both the Cardinals and the Dodgers
have had for you know, pretty much their entire history.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
All Right, Tommy, you come, you talk with Dave Roberts,
and he fills you on your role, which is basically,
we need you anywhere everywhere whenever we need you, can
you go there? All right? You can play everywhere, and
that's been an advantage for you. Is there somewhere you
prefer to play?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
No, Honestly, I mean, I've just moved around so much
that I haven't really fallen in love with one position.
I've actually, I mean I would say I've I haven't
moved as much as I thought I would. I've only
played two positions so far, to center and short, which
is honestly perfect. I mean, I do enjoy both of
those positions a lot. I grew up playing shortstop in

(07:45):
second base primarily, and then started playing some center last
year and really enjoyed that as well. So you know,
I'm just I'm available wherever.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I know it's Come on, Tommy, Tommy, Come on, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.
We're friends here, man, Listen, listen. I played baseball through college.
I know if you playing shortstop, man, that is the
golden ticket. That is the golden position where you want
to play. Like you said, you grew up playing shortstop.
Now if they stick you in left field or in
right field, it ain't the same. I mean, I know

(08:17):
you play center, which you kind of in the middle
of the action too, but you gotta love playing shortstop
when you get that call and like you look up
at the lineup and Day puts it up and you go,
I'm at short stop today.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Man, I gotta get your juices flown a little bit.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Man, come on, yeah, I will no, I will say,
I mean shortstop you are. I would say the difference
is like you're more involved in the game obviously being
in the infield, like you gotta do more things with
like hold non runners and being ready for more different scenarios.
And then center field, I mean you're still in the middle.
If you're still like you know, kind of like the
safety in the in the defense, you know, like you're

(08:51):
still patrolling and kind of making sure everything's in line
and and then you know, going to get the ball.
So I don't know, there's there's a only like fun
sides to both. First, I was just a touch more
involved though.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, Tommy edmund Uh is our guest. And what do
you prefer to hit right or left handed?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I mean I like both. I think I've I've historically
hit a little bit better from the right side. But
there's a reason I hit left handed. Is I hit
left hand against those those tough right handed pitchers, you know,
So I certainly wouldn't want to be going up right
handed against one of those nasty rities. So you know,
there's there's pros and cons of both, but I think
my numbers historically have been better right handed.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
When did you become a switch hitter? Why did you
become a switch hitter?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, well, kind of like what I talked about. You know,
when when you start to face higher level pitching and
you start to see nasty sliders and breaking balls just
going away from you and sinkers that are running on
your hands, it becomes a lot hitter or a lot
tougher to hit. So I actually I started as a
freshman in high school, went away from it for a

(10:01):
couple of years sophomore, junior year, and then I went
back to it senior year, hit really well left handed,
and then just stuck with it. Stuck with it ever since,
and it would be tough. I actually messed around last
year with going right on right, and if you select
against a few pictures, you know, it's kind of depending
on their pitch arsenal. But but yeah, I would it

(10:21):
would be very tough to hit right on right against
a lot of the pictures in the big leagues.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Now.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, but that's what I was going to ask you,
because when one of the things I would report is
that that you're you're not always fully committed to go
and just right against lefty and and hitting lefty against
righty sometimes it's a matchup. Or do you look at
it and go, man, I masked this guy when I
was hitting right handed, even though he's a right handed pitcher,
I can kill it. Do you go into the game

(10:47):
automatically saying if there's a lefty, I'm going I'm gonna
hit right, or if I was a righty, I'm gonna
hit left, or do you look at it and go, man,
I'm feeling comfortable on the right side to night or
today or this past week, I'm gonna stay right no
matter what. You go into the game like that or automatic.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
No, it's it's pretty much automatic. And then the only
thing is all before each series, I'll look at each
picture and all the right handed. I'll never go left
on left, just because I've never done that in my life,
but i grew up hitting right on right. So I'll
go into each series and look at to see what
a picture's splits are, basically see if they have something

(11:26):
weird where they do better against lefties and then against
righty's for some reason. And then I'll I'll dive some
more into that and then see if that's a guy
that I will go right hands against. But I haven't
done it this year yet, did a handful of times
last year. But yeah, it's no, it's not like a
like a game time decision, you know, it's all it's
all planned out.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
All right. So Tonny got a bobblehead with his dog.
If we gave you a bobblehead, what would you want
to be holding in the bibblehead?

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh, that's a good question. You mean something like personal,
like with uh for my life?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah? What would you hold? Oh?

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't know. I'm a boring guy, you know, I.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Come home, Man, You're not boring.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I've spent a lot of time on the beach. Maybe
just like in a beach chair or something.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh, kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I like that San Diego beach, you know, La California
kid hanging out on the beach chair.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Maybe on a surfboard on the wave. That might be cool.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Sure, Yeah, I no, I can't surf. I've I've only
served a handful of times. I'm not very good at it.
I got a lot of friends that hope you'll be
able to teach me once I retire, But I haven't
gotten there yet.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, you look good, like you know you you you know,
can get up on the board pretty quick. On that
diving play you had against Seattle, Man, how good did that?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
How good did that feel? Man?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And and just talk about you know, because a lot
of people think it's just, oh, it just happened in
the moment. You never practiced, but you practiced those type
of plays. Man, How good did that feel making that
play when you're you know, I don't know, you were
like a week here and you made that play and
people went nuts?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Man? How good did that feel? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:04):
It was great, especially being able to do it at
home and to hear all the fans. Yeah, it was
it was great. You know, I think that was probably
one of the moments where I was like, Okay, yeah,
like I'm kind of officially part of the team now,
you know, being able to make a big play like that,
and you know, that's one of the fun things about
playing short, you know, making fun plays like that and

(13:26):
and just being you know, a big part of the game.
So hopefully I can make some more sick diving plays
over the course of the course of the season.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
All right, So you make a play like that, do
you expect to make that play or when you make
that play, do you think of the back of your mind,
Oh my god, I made the play.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
No, I was kind of expecting to make that play.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Honestly.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I saw it and I was like, oh, I can
for sure get to that ball.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, there you go. That's what I'm talking about. Hey, Tommy,
you gotta do me a favor, man, So listen. I
don't know if you know this, but my my son
r J is in the clubhouse. He's one of the
club he's down there and and so when you run
into him, just do me a favor. And if he's
acting up, man, just tell him that you got the
green light to send him down to Triple A in

(14:13):
Oklahoma City.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
If he doesn't.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
All right, Yeah, I've met Urj already. He's the man.
He's an awesome dude, and he's treated me very well
so far. But I'll pass the message along absolutely, but.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I appreciate it. Hey, Tommy, thanks for jumping on. We
really appreciated great chatting with you and have a great
series against Arizona.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Thank you very much. Good shotting with you guys too.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
All right, Derego's Tommy, Edmund and Rodney. I liked what
he had to say. I like him. I like his attitude.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
You know, obviously guy's been on the Dodgers radar for
a long time. You know, can play a multiple positions.
But I love his attitude and he's been playing well
so far. Friend, Well, I love the question. I love
the question about that.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Did you know? Yeah? And the response somewhat surprime me
because it was like, no, I didn't, I really didn't
know that.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
In that crazy sports as a player, you know, you
don't always know what happens in the front office, and
guys you're you're being talked about as you know, you're
just gonna move from team to team and they're gonna
trade you or you're gonna go from here and you're
gonna have been there for years, but okay, tomorrow we're
gonna trade you. And those conversations are happening, happening in
real time, and you have no idea what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, because the way Andrew Friedman told David Vasse, Yeah,
going into the season, there were two guys you wanted
Choe Hey O, Tommy and Tommy Edmund exactly, and he
had no idea. He had no idea. Man, I don't know.
I think if if a team like the Dodgers was interested,
I want to know, oh, one hundred percent. You want
to know every team.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
You want to know every team is interested, because you know, Dick,
the flip side of that, they you know you're Vargas
and you gotta go to the White Sox. Don't you
want to know, Hey, I could possibly going to the
White Sox.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh no, no, no, no, no no, no, I am
not going. I am not going. You know what, honestly,
if that happens, I mean if they trade us to
I don't know what radio station, Sioux Falls. Yeah, if
we have to go to Sue Falls, I don't want
to know. I don't want to know ahead of time

(16:22):
because then all you do is sit and think about it. Absolutely,

(17:49):
Labor Day weekend spirituality. Oh yeah, it is a must
and we will get to it next.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Oh yeah, we on the wine Down on a two
hour show today. Dodgers in the Valley of the Sun
to play the Snakes, seventeens, the Rattlesnakes, Yeah, the Diamondbacks,
all of them.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Let's go, Freddie, Come on, let me ask you a question. Yes, sir,
you've been to that stadium, so have I? Uh huh,
all right, and we know the composition of the crowd
there normally during the regular season, right, it looks like
a Dodger home game. Yes it does, Yes it does.
Will it look that way during this four game series,
you know what?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Not? Not like a normal game where the Dodgers come
over where it is I would say seventy thirty Dodger
fans over there. I think there will be a good
number of Diamondback fans that fill up that place. But

(19:02):
I think also because Dodger fans are very knowledgeable about baseball,
and where we are that they will understand that this
is this is this is a big deal, and so
they will show up. So I think it's going to be,
you know, the makeup will be I think more Dodger
fans and and the place. Remember, because they're in a

(19:24):
pennant race. You know how it is when the when
the Diamondbacks are not in it and you get about
twelve thousand people in that in that stadium. Yeah, I know,
you know, you're not getting a whole lot of folks
in the stadium. But now, but they in the last
couple of years, and Tory Levello has done a great
job over there that they're in the they're in the conversation.
So there are a number of Diamondbacks that are I
don't and you know or not in Phoenix. So I

(19:45):
can say it that they they are sometimes fair weather fans, yep.
And if they they're playing well, the fans will show up.
But still again, it is the Dodgers spring training home,
so there are a number of Dodger fans that will
be there.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Let's find out what big things bring him on. For
the Labor Day weekend edition of The Daily High Coup.

(21:54):
was called. And and this woman has done it for years.
And she had a very small wagon and she walked around.
Wait wait wait wait, she had a wagon and a
little wagon. Oh yeah, a little wagon, and she walked
around with goods and services on the wagon. I mean,
what does she have in the wagon? It's alcohol. She
has a mini bar, okay. And if she walks down

(22:15):
the road next to you and somebody else, she'll go, hey,
you want to drink? She stops the wagon. She has
little stools. You sit next to it, and she pours
the drinks in a like a thimble, and you drink them.
And that was her way of bartering. And then you
had to do something for her. It is I I

Hold your horse's friend. Because the Dodgers Birds game last
night in a microcosm, that is how you win playoff
games when big stars don't produce. Remember oh Tani the
rare zero for five last night. Freddie Freeman is resting
that fractured finger, so guys like Chris Taylor give him

(26:36):
some love. The big RBI single had a couple of
hits and a walk drove in Kik who were doubled.
Then awesome bonds, humongous two runs single.

He played a sensational game. Remember is this back from injury?
Big Baltimore chopped drove in a pair, The captain played
a hell of a game. You go, Bonnzi, Miggey Rojas,
RBI single. I mean, that's how you win playoff games.
The complimentary players step up and produce. And that's what

(27:16):
happened last night. Against the Birds in won a very
big series and picked up a crucial game of both
Snakes you know and the Padres.
