Randy Wolf On His Rare Advice To A Young Clayton Kershaw

On this special edition of The Dodgers Post podcast, hosts Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez sit down with former Dodgers and Phillies left-hander Randy Wolf. A true Los Angeles native and the workhorse of the memorable 2009 NL West championship team, Wolf pulls back the curtain on a wildly chaotic era in franchise history. Wolf takes us inside the clubhouse during the exact moment Manny Ramirez was handed his 50-game suspension, explains how a broke front office couldn't even afford to offer him arbitration after a 200-inning season, and describes the "rough" old Dodger Stadium facilities players used to endure. Plus, Wolf shares some incredible, never-before-heard stories about dealing with a brutally honest, young Zack Greinke, and the exact piece of advice he gave a 21-year-old Clayton Kershaw when team legends tried to alter his legendary delivery. Finally, a 16-year MLB veteran gives his candid take on today's modern pitching injury crisis and why the human body is reaching its absolute limit. 0:00 - Introduction: Welcoming LA Native Randy Wolf 4:10 - Playing for Both the Phillies and the Dodgers 6:10 - From "Broke" to Behemoth: The Dodgers' Financial Evolution 8:37 - Navigating the Chaos of the 2009 Dodgers Season 10:39 - The Day Manny Ramirez Got Suspended 12:59 - Zack Greinke Stories: Bluntness, World of Warcraft & Napoleon Dynamite 15:17 - Advice to a Young Clayton Kershaw: "Don't Learn From Freaks" 17:59 - Life After Retirement & Returning to the Ballpark 19:17 - Is Dylan Hernandez Actually a "Teddy Bear"? 20:16 - The Modern Pitching Crisis: Velocity vs. Human Limits 21:54 - Could Randy Wolf Have Been Shohei Ohtani?
