You see him on MLB Network. I've been 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.880 watching him and Yander Alonso do great work on the 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.000 MLB Network, especially with the class in session and when 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.240 they're cooking things up inside the kitchen. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:04.880 He is the one and only. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.880 Sean Casey and he joins us here on a five 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.000 seventy l a sports Sean, how you doing? 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.760 What's up? Fellas? Appreciate you in true and I'm great 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.520 to be on. Steve Sack has one more thing I 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.400 don't have, and that's the World Championships. That would have 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:18.080 been a lot better. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.000 What's up, Sean? 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:22.040 Hey doing? Man? 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:24.400 Sean? 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.040 Here we are Game one, Dodgers and Blue Jays. Dodgers 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.639 have been off for six days. They're ready to go. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.240 Blake Snell gets the starts. Uh, just your thoughts kind 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.720 of going into this series and these two teams how 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:36.480 they match up? 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.800 I think they match up well. I mean when you watch, 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.160 when you watch the Dodgers kind of run through the Brewers, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.440 I think all of us in the baseball world are like, whoa. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.799 I mean, Snell dominates Game one, you know, and then 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.080 Miyamamoto comes to the complete game, and then here comes Otani, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.600 here comes Glass. Now it was just incredible. I mean 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.120 they didn't really have to even use the pen and 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.080 the bats were out and then Otani has that maybe 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.240 the greatest game ever Game four. So I think you know, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.800 everyone remembers, you know, how good the Dodgers are. But 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.519 I but I do think, you know, we got a 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.400 chance to see how good the Blue Jays are. That's 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.560 seven games against a tough Mariners team, against some good 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:13.280 pitching too. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:14.079 Uh. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.200 You know, they're just they're They're a team that really, 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.480 uh you know, likes to grind out of bats. I 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.680 think it's gonna be a great matchup with you know, 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.200 how how long can the starters go for the Dodgers 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.679 with the pitch count and will the will the will 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.880 the Blue Jays be able to piece together some runs 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.360 that the Brewers weren't able to do. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.000 Yeah, Sean, great to be with you today. Thanks for 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.960 coming on. And you know, I'm a big fan of 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.720 your guys on MLB Network. I love your hitting philosophy 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.440 and so you and I think the same way about that, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.880 except I couldn't go deep like you did. But you know, 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.520 the Dodger philosophy here is, you know, I'm all about, Hey, 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.000 get yourself a piece of dead red and don't miss it. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:52.240 Right. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.680 Uh, if you go deepen account pitch or put you 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.200 deep account, great, go deepen account every single time up, 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.080 But don't take two cookies just to go deep in account. 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.400 And I think that's kind of the philosophy of the 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.040 Dodgers too. They will take you deep in the count 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.280 if a pitcher puts you there, and you Savage buying 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.680 large has a pinch it for the small sample size 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.080 to go deep in counts. He walks almost five per 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.520 game per nine innings, and you know his whip is 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.840 just almost one point five, so he has he has 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.000 a knack for letting people get on base. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:24.920 This could fit right into. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.640 The Dodgers narrative here of trying to work that guy, 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.040 take him out in the deep water and drown him. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.080 No really, I mean, Steve, you're exactly right, man. I 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.040 really believe in the Dodgers. I mean they put together 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.800 such good at bats. I mean, yes, the team that 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.240 they have is such a professional team. I mean top 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.880 the bottom. You know, these guys are gonna they're gonna 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.920 work it, you know. And a guy like you, Savage, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.760 he really relies on Chase on that split, you know 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.000 what I mean. He comes from this guy arm angle. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.239 He's trying to hit the upper rail with the heater 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.000 and then he wants to wipe you out with a split. 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.839 So if visually you can get him into into EU, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.200 you know, in the high leverage hitting counts. That's split, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.240 and you can neutralize that split. I mean, he's very hittable, 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.080 and you know he he got into some trouble in 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.400 his and in his last start I believeable was that 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.640 Game six when when he got the three double plays, 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.360 I mean at the bases loaded twice in those situations. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:18.960 Yep, got out of it with three. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.080 Double plays in the third, fourth, and fifth, but he 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.960 was in trouble. So I look at the Dodger lineup. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.320 They don't let they don't let people off the hook. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.920 If you if they get traffic on the bases, they're 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.919 one of the best teams in the league at cashing in. 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.520 So you're right, Saxon man. If they if they can 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.400 make your savage work, they could they could really put 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.560 up a big ending on them. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.039 Sean has a left handed here. I've been waiting to 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.200 ask you this. What have you seen from show hao 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.280 Tody this post. He's the three home run game aside 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.599 where he just absolutely went bonkers, but he has struggled 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.839 outside of that game, making contacts, striking out a lot. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.280 What have you seen his swing that maybe he can 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.360 kind of get right after that three run home. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.000 Run game, you know case. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.880 I know for me as a you know, as a 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.919 left handed hitter, when I face a lot of lefty starters, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.240 there was something about if they're trying to crisscross the plate, 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.040 you know they're really you know, everything's in and then 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.479 trying to wipe you out with the slider away. And 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.800 you know, I know for me at times, as soon 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.480 as I get that front shoulder moving a little too soon, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.239 I really paid became susceptible to rightings like the sinker 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.880 ball alrightis and guys that had good fastballs all of 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.240 a sudden like why am I not on these guys? 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.600 Like what happened? And then you look back and you go, man, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.760 I just I just face a lot of lefties and 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.120 whatever series. I think when you go back to that 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.680 Silly series, you know face and Suarez face and Lizardo 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.080 face and Sanchez, you know, you know there's a feel 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.760 that you know, Steve, there's a feel about hitting where 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.680 sometimes you're a little off and you can't catch it 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.599 right away. And and and I think for show, hey, 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.680 it was like, man, something's off here and I and 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.200 it would probably was the lefty heavy rotation and the 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.040 pitches that he saw in Philly and in over one 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.159 sixty two. When you struggle for a week or two, 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.600 you're like, Okay, I'm back, I got it. Well, you're 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.840 in the postseason. He struggled, like hey, what's wrong with 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.520 this guy? And I think it was a great move 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.720 on his part to mix it up, get out and 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.640 take batting practice, start to see flight of the ball, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.520 and then all of a sudden he was like, Okay, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.840 I got the feel back. And then we saw what 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.000 we saw in Game four, was like, oh that's I've 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.440 never seen balls hit that far in La. I mean 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.280 I always felt like at night in La, you know, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.680 you couldn't get it into the third row when you 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.680 when you pumped on let alone hit it over the 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.640 roofs and right right center field. So I think show 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.360 Hay's back. I think he found a feel that he 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.720 needed to find and I got a feeling he's gonna 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:44.760 have a big World Series. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:45.520 Sean. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.920 I got to bring Tim into this conversation for just 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.800 a second. Tim, Yes, how many times have we talked 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:55.120 about hitting? And Sean said the operative word. He said 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.760 it several times, And hitting is a feeling. It is 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.480 a feeling. That's what hitting is. There's times where you 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.680 can go up to the plate and you don't have 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.320 to describe anything, you don't have to set it much 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.880 of a game plan if you're feeling it, Sean, is 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.440 this right? If you're feeling it, you can hit anybody 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.240 that's throwing whatever up there. You're in that groove and 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.360 if you feel it, that's all you need. Isn't that true? 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.120 It's incredible, It's incredible. It's like this flow state you 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.240 get into, and you know, you get into, you know 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.280 nothing better when you you pump one into the seats 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.559 and you come back and your teammates are like, what 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.400 did you see there? Are like, I have no idea, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.599 I don't know. I just thought I just saw. I 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.520 don't know if it was a heater, a change up, 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.560 a slider, I don't know. But I'm feeling. I'm feeling something. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.600 You could you could throw a beat, you could throw 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.720 a throw a BB gone up here about one hundred 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.560 and twenty miles an hour, and I cover it right. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:53.440 Now, exactly exactly right, Tim. It's it's amazing, Sean. And 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.640 I I mean I could sit and talk hitting with 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.360 Sean for for five hours, I'm sure, And and we're 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.640 gonna use this same words, Sean and I don't sit 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.960 on a bench and talk about hitting. But I'll bet 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.280 you we grew up in a different time been played. 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.280 I'll bet you we'd be using the same words and 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.360 the same approach and the same philosophy on what it 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.840 takes to be a good hitter. You talk about guys 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.760 across a spectrum, Sean, and I hear you talk on 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.960 TV all the time, and I said, Damn, that's exactly 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.720 what I would say if I was on there. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.079 Yeah, you know, I think sometimes I think, and nowadays 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.800 in this era of analytics and all this stuff and 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:31.760 wanting to get in the cages and to look at 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.719 biomechanics and look at these force plates and all these 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.959 different things. That's all great, But at the end of 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.920 the day, when I'm in the batter's box, I gotta 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.480 be able to slow my heart rate. I got to 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.760 be able to slow down, turn my vision on. I 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.960 got to hunt the fastball or whatever out over plate 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.520 that I have to have a simple game plan to 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.520 go out and execute against guys that are throwing ninety 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.000 seven one hundred and three miles an hour, like I 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.360 gotta be able to simplify and I think for me, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.920 you know, and you probably feel the same way. Steve. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.679 Is that like when I was at my best, I 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.640 was as simple as I can be when I when 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.760 I got in trouble, I was thinking about two three 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.280 mechanical things in the box and that doesn't. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:13.319 Work, right, Tim, I gotta tell one more when we're Sean. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.520 I had a conversation one one on one one time 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.480 with Ted Williams. Okay, I'm in spring training and the 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.800 splendid Splinter gave me some time and was talking to 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.319 me about hitting. You know what, the most dynamic thing 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:29.880 he said to me. He says, I'm gonna give you 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.200 some advice on hitting. I'm like, I'm like, you know, 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.080 e f hutting guy. I'm like, my ears got like 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.600 four feet wide. And I was like, gonna listen to 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.720 the to the advice from Ted Williams. He said, the 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.400 most important thing in hitting get yourself a good pitch. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.960 And don't miss it. And I was like, thank you, 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:46.720 mister Williams. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.720 Good go ahead, Tim. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.720 You're always good as the picture swing. Yeah. The only 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:57.679 good you know, it's I love man even mention it 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.440 Ted Williams and hearing advice, I mean a simple. That 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.200 is I got. I got some great advice from George 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:09.640 Blett one time sitting at the cages and I was like, Tours, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.320 you know, I was a young girl's fight twenty five 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.320 at the time. He's he was a coaching with the 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.280 Royals and spring training. I got him behind the cages. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.319 I'm like, I'm not going to miss this opportunity to 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.320 ask George bread a couple of questions and I was like, 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.200 you know, George, what were your keys? You know, what 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.200 were you thinking? He goes, I just try to be 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.960 short to it, long through it. I was trying to 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.240 get to it, you know, get get on top of 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.840 the ball, you know, back spin it, stay on it 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.520 and and not rust my fall through. So short to it, 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.559 long through it. Like take Ted Williams to take George Brett, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.880 get a good pisch to hit short to it, long 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.360 through it, you'd probably do pretty well. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:41.800 Absolutely. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.200 He is Sean Casey from the MLB Network. Check out 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.120 their coverage all World Series long. It has been fantastic 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.199 during the postseason, during the morning's pregame, post game, all 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.360 the coverage on site in the studio has been the 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.240 best this October, and Sean has been a big part 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.920 of that. I'm gonna steal one of your guys' segment 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.280 when you guys make a case, make a case for, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.320 make a case for who's gonna be the MVP of 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.800 this world series? Outside of show hey o Tani is 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.600 there is there a Dodger player you can make a 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.000 case for that's just gonna rise to the level like 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.520 if Freddie Freeman did a year ago or Tommy Edmond 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.600 did in the NLCS last year. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.840 You know, I just for whatever reason, Max Mounts he 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.800 always pops to my mind. I mean, he's a guy 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.319 I just feel like when he gets in that groove 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.520 of that of the long ball swing, he's a guy 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.720 that can really do some damage on you. And he 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.120 walks a lot. He's got a great approach, and now 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.920 that he's got the you know, the glasses, I feel 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.160 like I feel like he's gone to another level. So, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.720 you know, outside of the of the big three of 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.680 a Tony Betts and Freeman. You know, I know Edmund 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.880 had a great World Series last year, but Max Muntsey's 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.360 a guy that I think could be end up being 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.240 the World Series MVP. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.120 Sean last one for me. I wanted to ask you 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.280 next year we're getting the ABS, the automatic balls and strikes. 0:12:55.880 --> 0:13:00.199 I mean, I surely hope that this one knee where 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.040 the catcher goes away so the guys can shift one 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.560 or two inches that way. I'm so sick of that stupid, 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.439 tired way of catching. It's it's pathetic. Maybe it goes away. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.120 I sure hope it does. But what do you think 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.480 about the ABS. Does this help the pitcher or does 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:16.439 it help the hitter. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.040 I kind of like it. I actually kind of like it. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.560 I don't think too much time for the game, Yeah, 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.640 And I think also it brings a new element to 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.839 the stands. Maybe if it's a big moment in the 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.840 ninth you still have a challenge left and it's a 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.400 three two pitch to end the game and it's overturned 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.960 or something, a two two pitcher whatever. I just I 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.000 feel like it's I think it's going to be good 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.720 for the game. And I think they've run it enough 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.600 in the minor leagues, and it's spring training this year 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.280 to see that the players and them and I believe 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.360 even the umpires like it. So I think it's gonna 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:50.000 be good for the game. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.720 Sean love to work on the MLB Network. You were 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.760 a great player. Loved watching you play. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.800 Love you on the MLB Network even more breaking it down, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.880 having fun talking baseball.

Thanks Sean. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.079 Yeah, thanks a lot, guys. Greatest game in the world 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.560 and and good lucky your Dodgers out there.

So have a 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.480 good little fellas. Thanks for having me on there. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.360 He goes the Mayor, Sean Casey. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.720 He is so good, He's I love I love talking 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.840 with him. He's just he's so fun to talk to you. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.480 He's very engaging and believe me, he knows a little 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.960 bit about hitting. The guy had a great, great beat 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.200 in the in the box, no question about it. 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.280 You can see and hear why now his nickname is 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.000 the Mayor. Sure, imagine getting to first base, imagine being 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.920 the first base coach as we're with the Diamondbacks and 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.640 the guy is just a chatterbox.

Thanks for being patient. Welcome to Saxon, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.160 Kate to Andy and what's on your mind this morning? 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:37.760 Scott, Hey, good morning guys, Thanks for taking my call. Uh. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.040 First of all, I want to say, you know, my 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:41.920 thoughts are with the Vesta family. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:42.480 I hope there. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.920 Everything's okay there. But the next thing I want to 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.840 say is jam Uh yeah, I just thought to throw 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:50.400 that in there. 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.960 Perfect long. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.040 It's been a long week without any Dodger baseball, so 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.120 I've been, you know, struggling through it. The other reason 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.280 why I was calling is because I'm calling out of superstition. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.920 You guys have been nice enough to take my calls 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.879 this past week, and uh, every time I call, the 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.680 Dodgers win, So I'm calling out a superstition. I hope 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:22.080 it works. I'm relieved that Will Klein is on the 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.160 roster over Conner Scott. I actually was going to talk 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.399 about that before he even announced the roster. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:30.680 So good to. 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:36.320 See Will Klein. I don't know about Henriquez is over Casparius, 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.320 but I'm okay with it. I think he's he's a 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.560
