Well, yesterday at 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.560 the Ravine, another up and down outing from Rookie Susaki 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.679 as the Dodgers dropped the series finale to the Rangers. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.720 Rookie got the start. He had allowed two runs on 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.880 five hits while walking five over five. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:46.400 Innings of work. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.800 He struck out a career high at six, but he 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.160 had traffic on the bases almost every inning, and things well, 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.880 they started off pretty good for the Dodgers, offensively, giving 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.760 Sasaki a lead. Bottom of the first show, Hey Otani 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.480 a solo home run Jacob de Grom first pitch, he 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.600 saw Dodgers up one to nothing. However, in the third, 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.800 Sasaki had one of those innings he gave up a 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.200 leadoff home run to Evan Carter that tied the game 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.080 had won. Then he got two quick outs before a 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.360 single and a walk put runners on for Josh Smith. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.680 Two on, two out, two balls, two strides, pitch swung 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.960 on ground ball right side, that's through for a base hit. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.720 Peterson's gonna get waved around third. Tucker's throw to the 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.840 plate is just late. Peterson scores and the Rangers have 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.080 the lead two to one on at two strike RBI 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.160 base hit for the second baseman, Josh Smith. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.960 RBI single for Smith. Rangers with some two out damage 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.160 a two to one lead. Sasaki left after five innings 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.280 and Gardo Enriquez got the sixth. He walked two batters, 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.360 then gave up an RBI single to Brandon Nemo. Rangers 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.600 grabbed a three to one lead. Dodgers down to the seventh, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.040 but not out a little two out magic of their own. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.760 Runner on for Kyle Tucker. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.919 No ball's one strike to Kyle Tucker. Pitch on the way. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.799 He'll swing hit a ground ball in the right fielder 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.160 base yet rushing rounding THIRDI is coming to the plate. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.360 He will score into the third is Rojas. It is 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:16.919 three to two on. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.520 A two out run scoring single from Kyle Tucker's Kyle 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.400 Tucker delivers with two outs that cut the Ashhows lead 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.560 to a three to two game. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.280 That's the top tier play of the game, brought to 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.120 by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. In the eighth, 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.079 the Dodgers bullpen really let it get away. Ben cos 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.440 Sparius a single, then a walk, will climb then came in, 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.840 give an RBI single, then a wild pitch. Rangers a 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.240 five to two lead, and they go on and beat 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.480 the Dodgers by that same final score. Yesterday, Jacob Decram 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.920 gets to win. Roki Sasaki gets tagged with the loss. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.920 The Dodgers pitchers combined to give up ten hits and 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.880 also walk ten. Also a lot of traffic on the 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.080 base pass allD game long. The Dodgers offense meanwhile just 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.920 one for sopped with runners in scoring position. Dodgers, despite 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.280 the loss, still take the series win over the Rangers, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.920 and tonight they look to get back on track. New Day, 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.320 new series, new team in town. The first of three 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.840 against the New York Mets. Justin Robleski on the mound, 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.960 first pitch of seven, ten and with more we head 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.080 over to the galloping forward broadcast booth as we say 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.440 hello to Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:23.520 Guys. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.320 All right, Tim, The Dodgers now the first of three 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:27.880 with the New York Mets. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.640 Dodgers at eleven and four. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.839 It won seven of nine, the best record in baseball, 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.880 game and a half in front of San Diego, two 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.360 and a half in front of Arizona. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.120 And then there are the Mets. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.920 They've lost five in their own seven up and nine 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.800 down and last place in the National League East. The 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.679 Dodgers did get some good news before the very first 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.960 pitch tonight, Edwin Diaz and his shoulder seems to be okay. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.080 Yeah, there had been a drop in velocity and Dave 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.880 was asked about it specifically yesterday. We didn't know if 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:58.640 he was going to be available out of the bullpen 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.080 or not. Have we did not see him come out 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.520 of the bullpen. Dodters dropping that decision, but they did 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.800 lose the services have been conspiraous who's been placed on 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.960 the injured list. Kyle Hurt has been called up. He 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.240 is available for tonight. But good news obviously when you 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.640 lose the back end of your bullpen. But it's a 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.839 whole different strength than the being able to go down there. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.440 So the fact that Diaz is okay, I don't know 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.479 how gingerly they're going to go about calling him on, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.760 But indeed, as you mentioned, good news to begin with. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.920 So the Dodgers will be sending out tonight justin Robleski, 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.679 you'll be making his third start. David Peterson is going 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.840 for the Mets. Interesting mough and it has nothing to 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.359 do with what they do on the field, But these 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:49.600 two teams have payrolls combining eight hundred million dollars, these 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.000 two teams who are going to be watching tonight. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.320 Yeah, ones in first and ones in last, at least 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.800 at the beginning. I think the Dodger's there for a 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.159 lot of different reasons, being eleven and four and four 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.040 and two at home. We continue to talk about the 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.960 bottom third of the lineup. So look at some numbers 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.320 earlier today. The number seven hitter in the lineup, which 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.640 tonight's going to be Max Bunsey against the left hander. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.599 But the number seven hitters are hitting at three h four, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.320 The number eight hitters collectively are hitting four to twenty six, 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.720 and the number nine hitters are hitting at three twenty. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.599 They have set the table beautifully for the top of 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:24.680 the order as show. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.280 Hey, he's been on base all fifteen games this season, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.280 forty six strait since last year. And we can't go 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.840 a day without talking about Andy Paez this time last 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.880 year through fifteen games. He's hitting one fifty nine tonight 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.880 coming into game fifteen sixteen, four twenty nine. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.320 Yeah, and you can see the confidence. The other part too, 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.120 is not only the batting, but also the defense. He's 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.960 got much more confidence in going after the baseball and 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.800 not to be overlooked as Will Smith, because if you 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.640 look at the catchers between Will Smith and with Dalton 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.839 Rushing was the line up yesterday, you know the Dodgers 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.680 kidders as far as the catchers when they come on 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.560 to him are hitting combined three point fifty seven with 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.480 five home runs and knocked in eleven. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.960 At the four nineteen on base percentage. Yep, that's toward 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:14.920 the bottom of the order. We'll get to the meat 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.760 of the order in the lineups and first bitch a 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.320 little bit later on Tim. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.200 All right, thank you, Charlie, as we cut you down 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.680 to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game day meal 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.239 on at Shakey's Pizza Parlor.

Otani swings the first pitch, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.079 hits a drive tape to right way back. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:51.160 It's god first pitch home run.

It's hello, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.800 Kiddy Night, Hello Kitty Hoodie for first forty thousand fans 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.040 in attendance, the in town to start a three game series, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:02.640 and Kirsten. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.720 That means Edwin Diaz is facing his former team. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.800 Yeah, you know, it truly does mean all eyes are 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.719 on Edwin Diaz, especially because when you look at the 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.520 last few days. On Friday, he unfortunately did have his 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.720 first blown save of the season and Dodger Blue, and 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.599 you know, after that outing, everyone did notice that the 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.640 velocity was a tick down. Dave Roberts said, even when 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.240 you see two miles per hours down, something typically isn't right. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.679 Of course, they had him talk with the training staff. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.240 Edwin has made it clear that he has continued to 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.600 feel good. He just said that he felt in the 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.560 outing on Friday that he just didn't kind of have 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.920 the umph behind it. He didn't really have his stuff 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:42.160 in the best position, so he's essentially cleared all of 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.400 the tests. But even yesterday Dave Roberts was saying that 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.600 he had felt like they were going to approach it 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.120 day to day. They're looking at the long game with 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.960 Edwin Diaz. Of course, it's still early in the season 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.040 and they want him to be available for the biggest 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.640 of moments. But that being said, when it comes to 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.679 this series, Dave Roberts did say that if there's a 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.840 situation in which the team is a close game, they're 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.760 looking for the same He does feel comfortable with getting 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.560 edwent out there to face this one, the team playing 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:08.920 them on the mat. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.160 Looking at the Dodgers' offense, we talk all from about 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.760 the big four from Miokie Bets, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.480 and show Hey o Tani, Kyle Tucker. But then you 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.680 look at the rest of this Dodgers lineup, really five 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.840 through nine. Yeah, it's been those guys who have been 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.240 the te the guy's getting done. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.600 You know what I mean. It really feels like it's 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.840 been Andy path has who's been that guy. But it 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.600 has been five through nine. Of course, we talk about 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.200 the guys at the bottom of the order, whether it's 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:38.640 a Hey Son, Kim Miguel Rojas right now, Alex Freeland, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.800 these are guys they are getting on base, they're turning 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.960 the lineup over and even if you look specifically at 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.200 five through nine, So in wins, those hitters have a 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.240 three six four batting average, fourteen home runs, forty one RBI. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.760 But in the losses it's a one to eighty five 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.680 batting average, no home runs and two only two RBI. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.600 So it's such an extreme difference. Yeah, and Dave Roberts 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.080 has said that he's finding that. Of course, when you 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.079 have the bottom of the order, when they're getting going, 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.439 it lengthens the lineup, but it also creates a dynamic 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.640 in which it's setting the tone for the top of 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.160 the order. Of course, putting guys like Show Hey and 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.480 Kyle Tucker in a position where they can bring in 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.920 runs and so it just really changes how things and 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.600 how pictures we have to navigate through their lineup. So 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.400 yesterday we did see Jacob deGrom, who, let's be honest, 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.360 he was excellent. But today is a new day, and 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.360 the hope is really they can continue to get those 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.360 guys at the bottom of the order going and really 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.320 make it different, especially when it comes to picking up 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.160 a win in this game one. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.040 Let's hope the lineup one through nine can get it 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.760 done tonight against David Peterson. Kirston, we appreciate it still 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.800 to come here on Moronco Casino Dodgers on Deck will 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.360 dive deeper this pitching match up.

Questions for Dave Dave? 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.120 Can you just describe Dave? 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.800 Can you talk about the pressure in. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:23.440 The dugouts with Dave Roberts talk to Edwin briefly, just 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.240 a little bit ago. It feels great, which is a 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.120 good thing, you know. I think that I think now 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:35.120 it goes to me having a conversation with the training staff, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:41.920 and so he's wanting to pitch, says he's available. I 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.360 think now it's just me kind of consulting with the 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.960 training staff and figure out what's the best case. But 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.760 now we know, just watching with my eyes, having him 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.480 play catch and talking to him, feel very confident that 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:54.480 he's in a good spot. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.880 I know that you've said at your pastern level was 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:57.320 very low. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.080 Did you guys have to do any imaging or anything 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.040 like that or everything is truly just be kind of 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.240 taking some rest time or keeping the eye. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:04.800 On the field. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.480 Yeah, no imaging, just the treatment and just kind of 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.800 the manuals and the conversations and then kind of like 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.040 the the manual testing that the training stuff does. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.120 Yeah, just like deal with anything physically, like you an 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.040 all to prompt this or is this just sort of 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.240 seeing me at velossity readings that immediately. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.040 As that's that's that. That was it, and just kind 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.240 of saying he just didn't feel right, and so talking 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.760 about some of the things before the track record, the 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.320 knee and all that stuff. So you know, that's sort 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.400 of I think I'd like to think behind us, but 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.600 that was more of you know, what the genesis behind it? 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.560 I said, he said he didn't feel right after that. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.480 Yeah, yep, that's that's right. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:50.960 Yeah. 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:52.240 How much of. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.320 That, Dave is based on the calendar and not wanting 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.480 to push too hard knowing that we're two. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.080 Weeks into the season. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.840 It's I would say a huge part of it is 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:05.800 based on the calendar, you know. Yeah, I mean, it's 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.840 all based on the calendar, and obviously his health is paramount. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.080 But I do think that us just being even more 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.440 conservative right now, certainly is that all right? 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:14.760 There's the manager, Dave Roberts. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.320 So we continue here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:18.880 We'll check in with David. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.320 Vessai as we are leading you up to first pitch 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:26.160 on Hello, Kiddie night, Dodgers Mets.

Haven't seen him in a 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.880 couple of days. Wasn't available at least one of those days, 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:20.080 according to Dave Roberts. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:21.520 Is he available tonight? 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.199 It seems as he is. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.640 Dave Roberts said earlier today that if a safe situation arose, 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.439 that Edwin Diaz would be warming up and would be 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.119 available to come in to face his former team and 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.919 look talking to other players in the clubhouse, nobody is 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.359 alarmed by Daz just resetting for the last couple of days. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.760 He's not a robot, as one player told me. He's 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.720 trying to impress on a new team. So all of 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.520 those things go into what we saw on Friday night, 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.199 and maybe the velocity or the spin not being the 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.960 exact same as we saw with Diaz all of black 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.480 last year. But you know a lot of pitchers have 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.800 told me that April in May is not their best 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.520 months as far as stuff, and they have to go 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.679 out there and compete and figure out a way. And 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.320 unfortunately for Daz it wasn't good enough on Friday night. 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.879 But Dave Roberts the reason why he sat him down 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.200 the following night is because Das told him he wasn't 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.800 feeling right. Whenever you say that to your manager, there's 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.879 going to be a red flag. But all as well, 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:29.440 Daz is ready to go. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.160 David is brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.200 Trends in the North American Truck of the Year with 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.040 Fort Maverick everything you need in the most innovative truck 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.080 well forty two miles per gallon at the best MSRP 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.199 of its category. Time to see forded in a new light, 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.080 go to your Southern California for dealers today. Any concerned 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.960 with Kyle Tucker and his production. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.760 Well, the biggest thing that stands out to me as 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.080 far as Tucker's slow start or inconsistent start, is the 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.200 fact that he has struck out sixteen times and only 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.439 walked eight times. You know, when the Dodgers signed Tucker, 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.000 they were talking about him getting on base with a hit, 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.480 driving in a run, or even walking. And right now 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.720 he's not doing any of the above. And if you 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.400 look at Tucker's career over the course of a full season, 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.560 like last year, for instance, eighty eight strikeouts, eighty seven walks, 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.040 that's what that's when you know, Kyle Tucker's getting back 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:23.359 to Kyle Tucker. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:24.440 But talking to. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.880 Freddie Freeman on the last road trip, tim he said 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.679 that playing with Tucker every day, he is so impressed 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.840 by Tucker's quality of at bats. He's not giving away 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.199 at bats, He's just not getting the results. 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.800 David, look at these two teams tonight, and it's a 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.800 lot been said about and written about these two teams 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:43.000 and how much they spend. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.480 But there's a difference between these two teams. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.440 Right, huge difference last year. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.840 In this past offseason, you heard about some infighting between 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.480
