Speaker 8: World Series ended, by the way, one hundred and forty

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 8: five days ago. Oh, there's adrenaline, there's expectations, and for us,

162
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 8: it's really an opportunity to see the Dodgers there, defending

163
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 8: the two time defending world champions open up the twenty

164
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 8: twenty six season. It's always special, and for us it's

165
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,160

167
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 8: and first of all, one hundred and forty five days ago,

168
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 8: the Dodgers clinched their World Series, their second in a row.

169
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 8: It was a I guess, a short off season. It

170
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 8: was a delightful lost season, and it's delightful to come

171
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 8: in and see you here today.

172
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 13: You don't know what you got until you've been gone,

173
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 13: and so I'm thrilled to be back. That's good to

174
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 13: see you and Dwayne and David and here are the

175
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 13: defending world champion Dodgers trying to do something no National

176
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 13: League team has ever done before, win three World Series.

177
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,359
Speaker 10: Yeah.

178
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 8: Earlier today, Dave robertson's asses said, you know, if you

179
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 8: reflect back in your very first year as the manager

180
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 8: of the Los Angeles Dodgers, he said, would you give

181
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 8: yourself a little bit of advice? He said, first of all,

182
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 8: don't take things personally. And the second thing is learn

183
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 8: to trust your players. And that really kind of exemplifies

184
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 8: what Dave roberts has set the tone, because I remember

185
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 8: that first spring training meeting that he had. He goes, hey, look,

186
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 8: you guys can play better than you have been playing.

187
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 8: The question is in twenty six how good can these

188
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 8: guys play for one hundred and sixty two?

189
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 13: What's fascinating to me watching this team and watching the

190
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 13: lineup today, and go on ahead, you look at the

191
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 13: other teams around Major League Baseball Again, this if we're

192
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 13: not just blowing smoke, this is as good a team

193
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 13: as at Dodgers we have seen in all the years

194
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 13: we've been here, and from top to bottom hitting, pitching, defense,

195
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 13: they're loaded.

196
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think if we look at Spring twenty two, Charlie,

197
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 8: I know that you were watching and listening from the

198
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 8: Arizona portion of it. I think that I has checked

199
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 8: off all the boxes and checked them off very strongly.

200
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 8: From an offense defense, the hitting aspect of it. The

201
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 8: pitching is still trying to work on the back end

202
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 8: of the bullpen itself right now. But your impressions of

203
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 8: this team, We've got a new facing Kyle Tucker. He's

204
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 8: batting second in his starting lineup, and a guy that

205
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 8: if he doesn't hit a home run with went out

206
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 8: in the top of the ninth inning, the Dodgers will

207
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 8: look at the Toronto Blue Jays at the World Series

208
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 8: champions because Miguel Rojas, who hit that gigantic home run

209
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 8: to Tide and the ninth is starting batting ninth and

210
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 8: playing at second base.

211
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 13: We remember when he first came up and he was

212
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 13: an iffy kind of guy. Eventually we traded the Marlins

213
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 13: and then come back and watching him grow and watching

214
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 13: him become one of the team leaders, and of course

215
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 13: the legendary home run that he hit back in October.

216
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: Here's back.

217
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 13: He says, it's going to be his last year. Maybe

218
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 13: maybe not, but again, just watching him grow as a

219
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 13: man as a player has been wonderful.

220
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 8: You and I have been privileged enough to be participants

221
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 8: of a lot of different aspects of Opening Days throughout

222
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 8: all the years. There's something special about even going to

Speaker 8: alarm clock to wake up.

227

Speaker 13: I couldn't wait to get here for many, many reasons,

228
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 13: and it's just wonderful to be back at Uniclok Field

00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 14: how special this team and this sport is to the

295
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 14: city of Los Angeles. You know, obviously Opening Day is

296
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 14: huge for so many things, and the baseball season is

297
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 14: truly a marathon and not a sprint. But to see

298
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 14: how much joy these players bring to this city, to

299
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 14: the fans, for all of them to be up early,

300
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 14: already excited for Opening Day and for one sixty two,

301
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,240

Speaker 15: And so.

303
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 14: It's already been an exciting year. Obviously we've come we're

304
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 14: back in Los Angeles from being in Arizona for about

305

Speaker 14: six weeks and seeing this team grind and get things going.

306
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 14: Of course, there was the World Baseball Classics, so that

307
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,160

00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 6: and tonight Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the second straight year. He

317
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 6: got his start last year in Tokyo Opening day starter tonight.

318
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, but you know what he did say when he

319
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 14: was asked about just being named opening day starter, and

320
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 14: he said, look, first and foremost, it's an honor for

321
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 14: your team to see you as that guy is the

322
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 14: ace of this group. To set the tone in game one,

323
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 14: that is huge. But for him to be able to

324
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 14: do it here at uniqueo feel at Dodger Stadium, it's

325
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 14: going to be an exciting one, it said. He talked

326
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 14: about just being able to be in front of these fans. Obviously,

327
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 14: coming off of being the World Series MVP, he has

328
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 14: had so much success already in this league, but still

329
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 14: has his eyes and goals on you know, being the

330
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 14: National League. Say Young, there are some other guys on

331
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 14: this team who also want that. So this is just

332
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 14: this is the beginning of It's funny. It kind of

333
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 14: feels like it's the beginning of an exciting new year

334
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 14: for him, but it also feels like the carryover of

335
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 14: last year because of what he did in the world he.

336
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 6: Help, he carries it over what he did last year,

337
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 6: the thirty starts, and certainly what he did in October.

338
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 6: It's funny talking to people earlier today, they said, well,

339
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 6: how does this team stay motivated for a third championship? Well,

340
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 6: it's like, well, it hasn't been done in almost thirty years. Yeah,

341
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 6: with the New York Yankees. And I said, the Dodgers

342
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 6: do so such a great job, and guys are hungry

343
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 6: to win, and they bring in one or two, three,

344
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 6: four different guys And when Diaz, Kyle Tucker, guys who

345
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 6: haven't won with this squad. Now you bring a little

346
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: hunger in with these new guys, you do.

347
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 14: But you know what all so it's like there's something

348
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 14: about the makeup of these guys.

349
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 15: They have just in who they are.

350
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 14: They're such competitors and they want to be the best.

351
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 14: They understand, Yes, to win a World Series championship takes

352
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 14: a lot, and now they have learned what it took

353
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 14: the last two years and even I mean, and you

354
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 14: talk it to guys when they look at how last

355
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 14: year ended outside of the postseason, let's look at the

356
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 14: regular season. They weren't playing their best per se. I mean,

357
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 14: we know what happened in Baltimore. It felt like we

358
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 14: were gonna see Yoshinobu Ammoto throw a complete game, but

359
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 14: no hitter, and things went sideways relatively quickly. I mean,

360
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 14: there were more moments like that than we probably would

361
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 14: have liked to close out the regular season last year.

362
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 14: But they switched gears, they got ready for October. They

363
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 14: became closer than I think we've ever seen before. So

364
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 14: now you have a group, as you mentioned, there is

365
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 14: some added fire because you have a player like Edwin Diaz.

366
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 14: This team officially has a closer, which they haven't had

367
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 14: since Kenley Jansen. Now you've got Kyle Tucker, who I

368
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 14: swear to you it feels like with Kyle he is

369
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 14: someone who just wakes up and is so talented and

370
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 14: what he does, it's just it's who he is as

371
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 14: a baseball player. You know, he even listening to h me.

372
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 14: He doesn't doesn't take much for him to get going.

373
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 14: And so you now add that to a group in

374
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 14: which you have others who you know, do to do,

375
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 14: have to do a lot to get going and want

376
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 14: Mookie Bets is out there for hours pre game.

377
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 15: Things like that.

378
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 14: But you have such a large group of individuals who

379
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 14: are such highly successful and high performative athletes, and they

380
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 14: want to be the best and whatever that means, they're

381
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 14: going to find ways to do that.

382
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 15: So this is what we're seeing right now.

383
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 14: They have this goal and opportunity to do win it

384
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 14: three times in a row, and if they could do that,

385
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 14: it'll be incredible. And they're but like, it's crazy to

386
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 14: me that they were having this conversation when they want

387
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 14: back to back, Like we I felt like we got

388
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 14: to the parade and it wasn't even about like, wow,

389
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 14: we just made history and being back to back. It

390
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 14: was like, so repeat, So what we're gonna do is

391
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 14: we're gonna do this again. So I love the celebration

392
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 14: we're having right now. You know, year one, it was

393
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 14: finally getting the prey that the guys in twenty twenty

394
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 14: weren't able to have due to COVID.

395
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 15: Then it was okay, now let's do back to back.

396
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 15: They achieved back to back.

397
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 14: And immediately it was it's time for a three P

398
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 14: And I think that's a perfect way and a perfect

399
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 14: example of describing who these guys are to their core

400
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 14: real quick.

401
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 6: You look at the lineup one through eight. Every day

402
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 6: it's stacked. Second base is going to be back and forth.

403
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 6: Maybe a platoon situation, yep, but you look who's getting

404
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 6: the start tonight's Mister World series hero Miguel Rohas.

405
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 15: I'm so excited.

406
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 14: You know, we we found out that it was going

407
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 14: to be more of a platoon kind of recently actually

408
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 14: during the Freeway series when Dave Roberts announced that Alex

409
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 14: Freelan was going to be breaking camp, being on the

410
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 14: opening day roster, and they said that Alex is going

411
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 14: to primarily face righty's and then Miguel Rojas is going

412
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 14: to say face lefties. But with a riting and Zach

413
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 14: Gallon on the mound today, you know, with a being

414
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 14: opening day and what Miguel was able to do in

415
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 14: the World Series and games it's really six and seven.

416
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 14: And Dave Roberts made it so clear he said he

417
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 14: was going to die on the hill that he wanted

418
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 14: Miggy Roe to be in those games when the team

419
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 14: was facing elimination because of who he is as a

420
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 14: leader in this clubhouse, the obviously plus defensive athlete that

421
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 14: he is. He has really improved his bat skills in

422
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 14: regard to, you know, understanding his role as someone whether

423
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 14: off the bench or kind of with living an opportunity

424
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 14: and finding ways to get his bat going. So for

425
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 14: him to be out there in just we saw the

426
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 14: force out at home. Of course, we saw the home

427
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 14: run that tied the game. There were so many moments

428
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 14: that he came to clutch for this team that it just,

429
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 14: I don't know, it felt so fitting for him. Even

430
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 14: though there's a writing on the mound today and that

431
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 14: probably should be more of Alex freelaneral for Miggie to

432
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 14: be out there. He's had an amazing spring and honestly,

433
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 14: I just I don't think anyone other than him deserve He's.

434
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 4: Going to get a loud over on that third baseline here.

Speaker 6: day IL. Bobby Miller starting the year on this sixty

470
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 6: day IL. His shoulder is still barking and landing. Next,

471
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 6: sort of a surprise, starting the year on the fifteen

472
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 6: day IL due to an intercostal strain. He joins Gavin Stone,

473
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 6: of course, also on the IL, recovering from a shoulder injury.

474
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 6: So a lot of arms on the IL to start

475
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 6: the season for the Dodgers, but no doubt we'll see

476
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 6: them once they all get healthy. It's head back downstairs

477
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 6: and check out with the Dodgers kipper.

478
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 10: Anything else.

479
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: Questions for Dan Dave? Can you just du Can you

480
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: talk about the pressure.

481
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts?

482
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 8: What is your level of anxiety, anxiousness, all those other

483
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 8: descriptive iages that will be thrown out as you try

484
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 8: to do something to very few teams have.

485
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 16: Done at this moment, very minimal. I'm just more excitement

486
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 16: today to get going. Our players are excited. Yeah, so

487
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 16: hopefully we can keep that, you know, to a minimum

488
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 16: throughout the season. But yeah, there's obviously going to be

489
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 16: a lot of talk about it, but you know, I

490
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 16: think our guys are pretty you know, trained to just

491
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 16: think about winning a game today.

492
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 5: If Biggie Roll gets to start at second base, normally

493
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 5: wouldn't given the handacipys a catcher, but clearly this opening

494
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 5: day will mean a lot to have considerance his last

495
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 5: what was that conversation, Like.

496
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, I was on the bench the other night against

497
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 16: the Angels here and I just was checking in on

498
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 16: him during the game and he was not playing and

499
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 16: I just let him know that, you know, I planned

500
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 16: on starting him on opening day, and he was pretty emotional,

501
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 16: pretty excited and reflective. And I think that obviously you

502
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 16: know what he's done for us. I'm not sure how

503
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 16: many opening days he's had, but of recent recency, he

504
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 16: hasn't And so this this means a lot to him,

505
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 16: his family, and to the Dodger fans and so and

506
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 16: also most importantly, I think he's a great option for today.

507
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 16: So all in all in it was the right decision.

508
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 16: I talked to Alex and he completely understood, and he'll

509
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 16: be in there tomorrow.

510
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 14: You obviously didn't see a lot of Yoshinovu in person

511
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 14: in the spring, But what are you expecting out of

512
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 14: him today?

513
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 16: Just do what he does. I think that get ahead,

514
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 16: use his entire pitch mix, put us in a position

515
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 16: to win and go out there and compete. And yeah,

516
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 16: we haven't seen him much, but I think that we've

517
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 16: got enough.

518
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 17: Of a sample of him to know that he's ready

519
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 17: to go.

520
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 6: I'll let you guys breathing conversations that, well, the guys

521
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 6: here is supposedly that tonight is more realized that and

522
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 6: sort to ascitate.

523
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 16: Over I think it'll probably go in waves, you know.

524
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 16: I think people will just start kind of focusing on

525
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 16: this season and then they'll start to ramp up again.

526
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 16: But I think hopefully in the clubhouse is just kind

527
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 16: of staying present and just trying to, you know, win

528
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 16: a game that night. But yeah, it's out there, but

529
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 16: you got to kind of block it out and focus

530
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 16: on playing. But understandably so we put ourselves in a

531
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 16: good spot that people want to talk about.

532
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 17: That's a good thing.

533
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 8: For us.

534
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: With his pertly sort of solid, we wanted.

535
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 16: I did notice him, I didn't kind of, you know,

536
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 16: spend too much time looking at him, but.

537
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 17: It's, uh, I probably should.

538
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 16: Have taken more time looking at them, but I just

539
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 16: kind of walked by them.

540
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 17: But it's it's it's.

541
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 16: Hard to believe when you kind of start thinking about that.

542
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 16: So when I start thinking about stuff like that, then

543
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 16: I get nervous. So I don't like thinking about stuff

544
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 16: like that. I want to think about just today.

545
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 8: The spring that last year you almost felt like there

546
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 8: was more pressure trying to repeat than you felt leaning up.

547
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 14: To this year.

548
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 10: Why do you pays?

549
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 17: Yeah, I don't know.

550
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 16: I just feel that two back to back is a

551
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 16: lot more common than a three peat, so to kind of,

552
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 16: you know, do it the next year. I felt the

553
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 16: expectation was more for everyone where you know, to win

554
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 16: three in a row, that's what's unprecedented in the National League,

555
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 16: and so so that's where it's more like everyone's hopeful,

556
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 16: excited about it on that potential, but it's not necessarily

557
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 16: a pressure thing in my opinion.

558
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 8: The Dust have a promo online of the the bad

559
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 8: guys in baseball and kind of accepting that.

560
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 18: What do you make of the organization?

561
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 15: Sort of easy?

562
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 17: Uh, the organization did that all right?

563
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 16: Well, if they said that we're the bad guys, Uh,

564
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 16: that's self proclaimed.

565
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 17: So I guess I'm gonna embrace it. I don't know.

566
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 16: I guess people like a villain. I guess that's a

567
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 16: respect in some way. So I don't I don't know.

568
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 16: I guess that's a good thing, do you know? Well,

569
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 16: it depends who you ask, apparently, right.

570
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 17: Yeah. I like to think I'm a nice guy except

571
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 17: when I'm playing.

572
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 16: We're playing than I I've got enough friends into the season.

573
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 17: Yeah.

574
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's the best team I think in twenty one.

575
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 16: It was a very talented team, very talented team. I

576
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 16: think that was year we one hundred and six games. Maybe,

577
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 16: but I think this team, as far as the talent,

578
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 16: the complete buy in, like just it's this, this is

579
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 16: this team is But again, like I've said it every

580
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 16: single years, we still got to go out there and

581
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 16: play regular season.

582
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 8: Win totals aren't executive the top of the list objectives.

583
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: But that said it, you guys were to stay in

584
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: all of you this year.

585
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 18: Do you think that one sixteen total is something you

586
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 18: guys might be able to surress.

587
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 16: It's possible, but but again, and you said it, that's

588
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 16: not our ultimate goal is to see how many wins

589
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 16: we can recruit during the during the regular season. I

590
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 16: think anything is possible, certainly with this team, but that's

591
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 16: certainly not our north star for this year.

592
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 17: It's it's really not.

593
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk around the country about telling fans,

594
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: you know, enjoy this opening day because who knows that

595
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 3: there's going.

596
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 17: To be one next year.

597
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 10: Do you understand that and do you agree with that?

598
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Well?

599
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 16: I understand that in the sense of this where the

600
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 16: CBA is at as far as the expiration, and I

601
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 16: do agree enjoy it because nothing is you know, guaranteed.

602
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 16: So yeah, I mean it's gonna be a great year.

603
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 16: And I hope everyone pours their their spirits and their

604
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 16: joy into this season because it's gonna be a great

605
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 16: one and you know, we'll figure out where it goes

606
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 16: after that. But I hope people take heed to that advice.

607
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, that happens to Dodgers. Inevitably, we'll be blamed for it.

608
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 16: That seems like it's always a case it recently, But

609
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 16: I don't know.

610
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 19: What gave you that sense of like the buy in

611
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 19: from the group, like already, no group can't come into

612
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 19: the year.

613
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 17: I think that.

614
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 16: I think the guys that we've had that I've had

615
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 16: for for quite some time, and then the guys that

616
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 16: we brought in just kind of seeing where their heads

617
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 16: are at the conversations we've had and their actions have

618
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 16: followed that. So I think for me, it's like, I

619
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 16: just feel really confident with this team. I really I'm

620
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 16: really excited about these guys.

621
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 10: Was this the most bores retrain you had?

622
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 14: Uh?

623
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, so it's it's the most boring spring training

637
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 16: was checking to see how he was doing. And I

638
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 16: was just watching him play catching. He looks great, He's

639
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 16: in a good spot.

640
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: Dig for all the pumping circumstance that comes with opening day?

641
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 20: Is it your challengers are the same to you?

642
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 17: Just think about today.

643
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,240

Speaker 16: We do it. It's it's it's a great day. There's

646
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 16: a lot going on, but once that game starts, the

647
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 16: first pitch, it's baseball and we're gonna lock in. And

648
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,120

678
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: Uh?

679
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 10: Doing great?

680
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 18: You're like the twentieth person to say that to me.

681
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you the next question, but keeps asking.

682
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 4: You think the Dodgers can.

683
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: Three pat Yeah, yeah, I actually do. I actually believe,

684
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 5: you know, talking to people around the team, actually, GM,

685
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 5: Brandon Gomees, and Andrew Freeman, they believe this offense is

686
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 5: the best lineup they have had since they have been

687
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 5: running the team. And if you look at spring training,

688
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 5: they scored more runs than any other team in baseball

689
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 5: in spring. I know it's spring, but the reality is

690
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 5: a lot of their players did not play all nine

691
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 5: innings and they still outscored everybody else in the league.

692
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 18: Think about this.

693
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 5: Miguel Rojas, last year's World Series hero is hitting ninth,

694
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 5: Will Smith is hitting fifth. What other lineup would they

695
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 5: be hitting in those spots? Taoscar Hernandez is hitting seven. Wow,

696
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 5: Max months he's hitting sixth. That is just an example

697
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 5: of how deep this lineup is and where there is

698
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 5: nowhere to turn. Tim I tweeted out this memory from

699
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 5: opening Day twenty nineteen. Dodgers hit eight home runs that

700
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 5: day against Zach Granky and the Diamondbacks. I have a

701
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 5: feeling that today is going to be similar to that

702
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 5: twelve run outburst on March twenty third, twenty nineteen.

703
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,680

712
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,359

Speaker 5: calling the team that you just played for. It's another

725
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 5: to be right next to that dugout. That is an

726

852
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:23,719

Speaker 5: Rick Monday is the perfect person on opening day to

856
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 5: give us a preview of what fans may see in

857
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 5: stadium today, Rick, and that is the ABS system, the

858
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 5: automated strike zone system where both teams each start the

859
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 5: game with two challenges, and the catcher. The Dodger side

860
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 5: of things, Will Smith has made it clear he will

861
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 5: be the one challenging, not the pitchers and hitters on

862
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 5: each side obviously can chant David.

863
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 8: We're finding out more and more of the ball clubs

864
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 8: are saying to their pictures, look, you don't need to

865
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 8: be doing that, and there's a couple of reasons for it.

866
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 8: I've said this facetiously, but pictures from my standpoint, and

867
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 8: this is from a former hitters you but pictures believe

868
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 8: that the strength zone is the curvature of the earth.

869
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: So that's how far.

870
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 8: But the other part too is I mean, let's look

871
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 8: at it. You've got a guy that's in a wind

872
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 8: up to follow through and by the time the ball

873
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 8: is released in the picture as a follow through, they're

874
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 8: really kind of off center, They're not directly lined up,

875
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 8: a lot of different movement. They don't get that great

876
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 8: of a look even though they're looking from sixty feet

877
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 8: six inches away. The catcher has a better look the

878
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 8: hitter and of course the umpire too. Interesting comment that

879
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 8: I happened to read, and it was from Aaron Judge

880
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 8: who was talking about the ABS system, and here's the quote.

881
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 8: He says, I think it's going to be a little

882
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 8: weird because I'm not an umpire. I'm a hitter. I've

883
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 8: never been in the box trying to think about it.

884
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 8: Is this a ball? Is it a strike? I feel

885
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 8: like I can hit it? If I feel like I

886
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 8: can hit it, then I feel it's going to be

887
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 8: a strength That was an interesting perspective, one of the

888
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 8: many that I've read from a hitter standpoint who understands, look,

889
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 8: I need to understand my strength zone. Do I feel

890
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 8: I can hit that ball or not? That's his prerequisite

891
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 8: in order to tap the top of his helmet and

892
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 8: challenge a call. That's going to be happened. But I

893
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 8: did find some other information on how it's going to

894
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 8: be established. I found it interesting. I found it confusing

895
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 8: and I'm not totally bought into it. And here's what

896
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 8: I'm talking about, the strength zone itself. Well, the strength

897
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 8: zones are personalized. Every single player was measured for their height. Okay,

898
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 8: the top of the zone is set and here's where

899
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 8: it really gets fuzzy. The top of the zone is

900
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 8: set at fifty three point five percent of the player's

901
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 8: height and the bottom of the zone is set at

902
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 8: twenty seven percent of the player's height. So that's tested.

903
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 8: It's been fine tuned. In the minor leagues, the width

904
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 8: of the zone has not changed. At seventeen inches bliss

905
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 8: a ball with on on both sides.

906
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 2: But here's here's what happened.

907
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 8: Happens if players are measured and they're measured standing.

908
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 2: Straight up right, So you stand what.

909
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 8: Six' three six two? Clubs, okay six to. Two, okay

910
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 8: they're gonna measure you at six to. Two every person

911
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 8: at six' to two has the same height on the

912
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 8: strike zone AND the. Abs system what happens the guy

913
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 8: that has a crouch in the Batting stance because the

914
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 8: rule book says that the strength zone is basically established

915
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 8: by the natural batting stance of the hitter has nothing

916
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 8: to do with the fact that you stand six to

917
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 8: two if you have more of a crouch than. Somebody else,

918
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 8: For example, let's say, for example Let's Use cody bellinger as,

919
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 8: an example very. Upright, stance okay he's going to have a.

920
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 8: Strength zone if you happen to have a crouch in,

921
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 8: your stance your, normal stance you're going to have a higher.

922
00:46:59,280 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 8: Strength Zone the.

923
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 5: Bellacher Howl, freddy freeman he's a tall guy and he

924
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 5: crouches exactually quite.

925
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 8: A bit i think that's that's where to me is kind.

926
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 8: Of fuzzy so, you know two dimensional. Strength zone they

927
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 8: actually tested a three dimensional strength zone WITH the abs

928
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 8: at the minor. League level that created this kind of

929
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 8: fuzzy area to. Begin with but it average on spring

930
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 8: four and a half challenges between the two teams, this

931
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 8: spring and it turned out that, the fielders which counted

932
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 8: more majority of, the catchers they were more accurate than.

933
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: The hitters in.

934
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 8: Challenging pitches so the catcher has a pretty. Good chance

935
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 8: only about one percent of all the pitches were challenged.

936
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 8: This spring so it COMES down i can break it down,

937
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 8: even more what.

938
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 5: About, The, umpires rick can you talk about the hitters and.

939
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 5: The pitchers i've seen former umpires quoted as saying umpires

940
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 5: don't want to be embarrassed in front of forty or fifty.

941
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 18: Thousand fans how does that play?

942
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 8: Into THIS and i read another one from just Retired Umpire,

943
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 8: richie garcia who said exactly that and the emphasis that

944
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 8: is going to be placed upon umpires during. A ballgame

945
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 8: we've heard some umpires in. The challenges they're very vocal

946
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 8: when it supports. Their call some of them, have been,

947
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 8: like you very quiet if the call has gone against

948
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 8: what they. Have called but this is. THE system i

949
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 8: think it's. VERY intriguing i think it can help the

950
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 8: game if it is used the correct way by, ball

951
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 8: clubs and if they just squandered, them early it's going

952
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 8: to be costly in, the seventh eight to ninth any

953
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 8: of an.

954
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 10: Important game and here's my question.

955
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 5: As well last night During The yankees, giants game after

956
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 5: they lost a couple of, their challenges both sides were

957
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 5: very gunshy to try to waste their last challenge.

958
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 8: As, well, yeah exactly so that's the way it is going.

959
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 8: To happen so, you know, the pitchers they did not

960
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 8: have a very good success rate in the challenges as

961
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 8: far as the percentage so that has been. Moved along some, people,

962
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 8: say well it's kind of, ticky tacky you know if

963
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 8: it misses by an eighth of binanche, of it but it, still,

964
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 8: MISSES right, i mean, you know that's, like saying when

965
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 8: do you run a? Red light, you know did you

966
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 8: come to a full and complete stop and it stops?

00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,719

Speaker 19: have a.

1072
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 5: Great year you're a great guy to ask this, question

1073
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 5: too because you understand the. Game itself you're hitting in

1074
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 5: a different spot in the lineup, this year and you've

1075
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 5: got different guys hitting in front. Of you are you

1076
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 5: a believer every spot in the order has.

1077
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 19: A responsibility i think in a, typical, lineup yes, OUR

1078
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 19: lineup i feel like every guy can. Hit third it's

1079
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 19: a bunch of three hol hitters going up and down.

1080
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 19: Our lineup, so yeah this year it's gonna be a little.

1081
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 19: Bit DIFFERENT and i think. You're you we're gonna see

1082
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 19: it in the you saw it During the angels series

1083
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 19: where against a left, Handed starter i'm gonna hit fifth.

1084
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 19: This year and, You know DOC and i talked and

1085
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 19: we're trying to figure out the best way to Make

1086
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 19: the dodgers the best they can. Possibly be, and obviously

1087
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 19: against right, handed starters all, hit fourth and then we're

1088
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 19: gonna start with hitting me fifth against left, handed starters

1089
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 19: just so it's a lot harder to. Match up, and

1090
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 19: UH when DC and i had, A conversation, i'm good

1093
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 19: for every other team to match up. AGAINST us i

1094
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 19: think it no matter where, we hit it's gonna be a.

1095
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 19: Hard matchup but that's what we we're gonna. Go with

1096
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 19: and typically one, through nine you're gonna have. Different, roles

1097
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 19: obviously in, our lineup if you're hitting eight, and nine

1098
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 19: you gotta know show who's, coming up and just sometimes

1099
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 19: the situation will determine what you. Gotta do but in

1100
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 19: our lineup and with, our guys it's more of a.

1101
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 19: Free reign go. For it you, know yourself you know

1102
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 19: the player, you are and just make sure you're doing

1103
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 19: the right thing in the. Right situations and our guys.

1104
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,200

1105
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 19: bunch of three hole hitters up, AND down i think

1106
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 19: and betteran guys they know what they need to do

1107
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 19: in this certain situations of. The game the game will

1108
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 19: tell you how to play, the GAME and i think

1109
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 19: that we have a good group of guys to understand

1110
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 19: that and go about our business the way we need.

1111
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 19: To do but in, our lineup it doesn't really matter where.

1112
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 19: YOU'RE hit i think you're gonna have guys on a

1113
