I sent her an 14 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: invite through work channels. She's mad I didn't text her. 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: I told her the only celebrities I feel comfortable texting 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: first were OJ Simpson and Betty White. 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 4: So I'm shit out of luck. So anyway, it is 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 4: what it is. 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got plenty of serio to go through. Riz. 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 3: She's got some time to fill and it's always looking 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: to talk Dodger baseball. 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about how this is going to 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: be a great series, and I truly think it will be. 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: You know, I threw some red meat to the Twitter fans, 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: I said, Yankees in five. I know you said the 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: same thing Dodgers in five. But in the green room 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: we were talking. We both agree this is going to 28 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: be a really, really good series. So you know, it's funny. 29 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: I listened to almost every episode of Dodgers' Territory live, 30 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: and you know, I have to say about sixty percent 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: of the women that I've dated have told me that 32 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: I don't listen. It might have been one hundred percent. 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: I might not have been listening forty percent of the time, 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: but I listened to every word you guys have to say, 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: and so I wanted to have you on because you 36 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: know everything there is to know about the Dodgers. So 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: let's begin with the Game one starter. The Game one matchup. Honestly, 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty somebody that the Yankees almost picked up at 39 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: the trade deadline. They backed out, but he pitched pretty 40 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: well for the Dodgers down the stretch. He heard he 41 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: had a tough outing last time out. I didn't watch 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: the game. What should we expect from Jack Flaherty and 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: World Series Game one. 44 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, with Flerity. 45 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: I mean he wasn't as good as Detroit version of 46 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: Flarity that we saw this year. He was still very good, 47 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 3: you know, coming over from to LA in the regular season, 48 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: but this year or in the postseason, it's been a 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: little bit, you know, a mixed bag. He's had one 50 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: really really good start. I got the note on here, 51 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: you know, seven scoreless innings against the Mets in his 52 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: Game one start, but other than that, a couple of stinkers. 53 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: They attributed his last start against the Mets, the Game 54 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: five start against the Mets as a you know, he 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: was sick. The Dodgers been kind of going to, you know, 56 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: some excuses when their starters haven't done very, very very 57 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: well this postseason, so we'll say he was sick. But 58 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: so far when he's on, he's been electric, and he's 59 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: been that guy that you know, maybe early in the 60 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: season was in some cy young conversations in the American League. 61 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: But still very very good start arting pitcher. And when 62 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: you're talking about the Los Angeles Dodgers, you know the 63 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: medical tape there, it's a mash unit there for the Dodgers, 64 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 3: fifteen starting pitchers on the il most of them out 65 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: for the season, with Flarity starting in Game one's It's 66 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: kind of one of those it's what you got, and 67 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: thank god they have him, and I appreciate the Yankees 68 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: pulling out of that deal because if not, the Dodgers 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: would be in. 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Very, very dire straits right now hitting into Game one. 71 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: So there's a number of guys that the Yankees were 72 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: linked to over the past year. Obviously, you know among 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: them Flarity, Michael Kopek, Yamamoto, who would talk about in 74 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: a second. They're all playing for the Dodgers right now, 75 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: so this can be an interesting series for a. 76 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: Lot of reasons. 77 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: I gotta say Garrett Cole has been kind of so 78 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: so this postseason. You know, he had one really good 79 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: outing and then he had a couple where he went 80 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: about four and two thirds, gave up two runs. You 81 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: don't see him get mashed too often, like he doesn't 82 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: usually throw, you know, two winnings and give up seven runs. 83 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: That's just typically not gonna happen for him, although it 84 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: has happened to happen against the Red Sox probably a 85 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: month a half. Put four fingers up, told Raphael Devers 86 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: to go to first base and that kind of you know, 87 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: unleashed the fury in Boston. But for the most part, 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: he's gonna keep the Yankees in the game. He doesn't 89 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: have that high octane ninety nine you know, at will anymore. 90 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: You might see it once or twice a game, and like, 91 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 2: you know, if he gets up against show Hay in 92 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: the fifth inning with the bases loaded, you're gonna see 93 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: ninety nine at the letters and we're gonna see what 94 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: show has made of. But I think that you know, 95 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: this game, like the whole series, could go either way 96 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: based on how, you know, how either pitcher shows up. 97 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about Yamamoto, though 98 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: he was electric at Yankee Stadium. That might have been 99 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: the best opposing start I saw from a pitcher against. 100 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 4: The Yankees all year. 101 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: Talk a little bit about his season about I know 102 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: he had an injury, but I don't recall what it was. 103 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: And you know how he's looked so far in the postseason. 104 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean mostly very very good for Yamamo in 105 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: season one here in Major League Baseball, but you know, 106 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: postseason wise, like you know, the start to his his 107 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: you know, professional career, his MLB career, he threw up 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 3: a stinker there against the Padreso was at five earned 109 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: in three against the padres in Game one, but since 110 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: he's been very good two earned over this last nine 111 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: to third innings at two starts, it' about where you're 112 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: going to get out of him. Did have a rotator 113 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: cuff injury that kept him out for the better part 114 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: of I think it was nearly three months, shortly after 115 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: I think the Yankee start that high point, and I mean, 116 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 3: I find myself and I found myself for most of 117 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: the season. And Derek, obviously you watch a lot of 118 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: Dodgers territory, uh, and I'm sorry you have to do 119 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 3: that here and there, but we we talked, and we 120 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: just kept putting that in our brain, like we understand 121 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: all of the issues with the starting rotation that the 122 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: Dodgers had heading into the postseason, even heading into September. 123 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: And if you're able to get Yoshinoba Yamamoto back, and. 124 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 3: If there's anything close, just anything close to what you 125 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: saw there in against the Yankees there in Yankee Stadium, 126 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: hostile territory, you're gonna be really, really good. You're gonna 127 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: feel good. You know, you got an ace on the bump. 128 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: But again it's been. 129 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: A little bit. 130 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I'll call it wishy washy. I'm gonna go back to 131 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: old FRG. 132 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: I used to use the wishy washy word a lot, 133 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: or expression a lot when I was talking Cody Bellinger 134 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: coming off of his twenty seventeen season. He was phenomenal 135 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. Down, of course, we know what happened in nineteen. 136 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: Yamamoto kind of had that, you know, some struggles here 137 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: and there. As long as he has that splitter working, 138 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: he's got to work almost reverse. That's his biggest thing. 139 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: If he's throwing a lot of fastballs early, he's gonna 140 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 3: get beat, especially at Yankee Stadium, which, as you very 141 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: well know, the ball flies out at Yankee Stadium, especially 142 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: the right field. 143 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: So if he can work off. 144 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: Of the sweeper curve ball and mainly that splitter and 145 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 3: then have the fastball be the punch, he's gonna be 146 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 3: in a really really good spot against I guess Carlos 147 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 3: Ordon going for you in game two. 148 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's Game two. That's in LA So I 149 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: read I saw it. 150 00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 4: No, it was. 151 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: Rosenthal today said that they would probably try and give 152 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: Yamamoto only starts in La in this series, he would 153 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: start Game two and six so that he could get 154 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: that extra rest because of the built in travel days, 155 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: so that keeps him on five days rest, right, So 156 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: you might not see him at Yankee Stadium. I will 157 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: say this, though, I agree with you about the fastball thing. 158 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: I was watching a Lance Brazowski video that was talking 159 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: about like how the different teams match up, and the 160 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: Yankees are above average in everything on hunting fastballs this year. 161 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's something that you can tell from the 162 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: eye test. But another thing you can tell from the 163 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: eye test is they really struggle against guys who can 164 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: throw breaking balls for strikes. 165 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 4: There are some pitches you know that. 166 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: They'll work backwards, right, they'll try and get strike one 167 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: with a curveball. You know, maybe they'll come back with 168 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: a change up or split or a cut or something 169 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: like that and strike too, and maybe they'll try and 170 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: finish you off with the fastball, finish you off with 171 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: the splitter. I feel like Yamamoto, if he can pitch 172 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: backwards and throw strikes with the breaking ball, he's gonna 173 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: have a lot of success. But if he's throwing fastballs 174 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: early in the count, especially if he's not, you know, 175 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: tight with his command, the Yankees might be. 176 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 4: All over him. 177 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's it's gonna be it's coin toss 178 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: at this point. 179 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think we could say the same 180 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: for both sides here. Starting pitching hasn't been phenomenal for 181 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: either team so far this postseason. The Yankees far and 182 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: away better. The Dodgers had to have had to rely 183 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 3: on some openers in there. They haven't done great. You know, 184 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: Kopek gave up a run in the Dodgers you know, 185 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 3: ultimately that clincher there against the Mets in Game six. 186 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: Brazier had a tough start or open against the Mets 187 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 3: in there. But when they've been right, when these guys 188 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: have been right, one of those was an eight you know, 189 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 3: you got to go out there and eat it, kid, 190 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: eight run outing from Jack Flaherty in his most recent 191 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: start where he was ill because they couldn't burn the bullpen. 192 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: So as a little miss misleading to see. 193 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: The Dodgers with a six oh eight, uh, you know, 194 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: starting rotation era in forty innings. But I would imagine 195 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: you feel pretty similar in saying a lot of this 196 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: series as we see most World series these days, it's 197 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: gonna come down to the bullpen and who who's going 198 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: to be the hottest, you know, the hottest arm down there, 199 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: and who's not going to get overexposed in a. 200 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: Series like this. You know, that was interesting. That was 201 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: it was strange to watch it unfold against the Guardians 202 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: because they were going to their bullpen early. They were 203 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: doing to get that against Detroit also, and you just 204 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: had the feeling, Hey, once this series goes along and 205 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: the Yankees have seen these guys two three times, you know, 206 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: sometimes getting two at bats in a game against the 207 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: same reliever, you know, it's like, oh my goodness, Uh, 208 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: we could have a we could have a a situation 209 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: where they're overexposed. And that's exactly what happened to the 210 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: best bullpen in baseball. Who is closing things down for 211 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: you guys? Is it mostly Kopek? 212 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: Or so? 213 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: What I love about it? 214 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 3: And my co host, Dodger Territory co host Alana Rizzo 215 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: does not like it or did not like it entering 216 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: the postseason. They don't necessarily have an official closer. Michael 217 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: Kopek was that guy. He picked up the Lion Sheriffs 218 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: towards the end of the regular season, but Dave Roberts, 219 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: the Dodgers have kind of thrown that book out. If 220 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: anybody what we've seen, the guy we've seen most towards 221 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: the end of games has been Blake Trinon, who's absolutely disgusting. 222 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: If you follow pitching Ninja, most people know Trianon has 223 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: been filthy. But you have a guy who was closing 224 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 3: for the better part of the last two and a 225 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: half years in Evan Phillips, picking up random innings in there. 226 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: A big loss for the team has been Alex Vesia. 227 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: Really need him back because I know that the Yankees 228 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: do struggle a good bit against left handed pitching. And 229 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: there's another advantage for New York. Dodgers do not have 230 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 3: a lefty starter, and as of this moment, officially there 231 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: is only one lefty in the bullpen. But the fact 232 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 3: that you're able to mix and match. Kopek can get 233 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 3: a ninth inning, or he can get a first inning, 234 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 3: a third inning, and the same with you know, Trianon 235 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: being wherever the hell they need him. It's been really 236 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 3: fun to watch a masterclass I'm overusing the word, but 237 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 3: a masterclass postseason for Dave Roberts, picking the right lanes 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 3: for anybody. It is very much an all hands on deck, 239 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: not just waiting for your closer and the ninth inning. 240 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about the offense. The one 241 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: area that I think we kind of lucked out as 242 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: Yankees fans, and you hate to see anybody be compromised 243 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: by injury, is that Freddy Freeman doesn't seem to be 244 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: one hundred percent with that ankle. I watched him a 245 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: few times just not moving around well kind of you know. 246 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: I heard someone describe him as a mummy, you know, 247 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: just doesn't you know me, Frankenstein is more appropriate. But 248 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on his ankle? Is he going 249 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: to be ready to even play in this series? Do 250 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: you expect much out of him? And will they continue 251 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: to put him in an important spot of the order? 252 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: The order one that's the one I'm the least sure about. 253 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: He will be in the lineup for Game one if anything. 254 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: Now we're nearly a month removed from that ankle injury 255 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: where they said, you know, it could be four to 256 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: six weeks, but that would be with heavy rest. He 257 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 3: has not got heavy rest. It's gonna be I think 258 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: more of the same Freddy. He will be in there 259 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 3: when he can. Thankfully, Max Muntzy has done phenomenally uh 260 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: sliding over to first base, you know, playing it for 261 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 3: the first time since a devastating elbow injury in twenty 262 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: twenty one, playing it looking very good there, and keiy 263 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: K Hernandez. A lot of people know about postseason key K, 264 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: so it hasn't been a huge blow, which is crazy 265 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 3: to say because you're talking about a guy who's a 266 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: you know, career two eighty five postseason hitter with an 267 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: OPS almost a thousand entering this postseason. Freddie Freeman is 268 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: very good at hitting a baseball, but more so, the 269 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: ankle isn't what's affecting him. His swing, just as in 270 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: his own words, was not right. It wasn't very you 271 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 3: know good or up to his standards for a lot 272 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: of the year. So you didn't see as much in 273 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 3: the way of the double, you didn't see as much 274 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: in the way of some of the slug in there, 275 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: and the for his standards, the average was down. Doesn't 276 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: He's not somebody who's going to be a very good dancer. 277 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 3: They make a whole joke at the dance or whatever. 278 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: He's not the smoothest boy when he's fully healthy. Definitely 279 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 3: looks like he he's you know, you maybe got to 280 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 3: put him down. He's not racing in the Santa Anita 281 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: or anytime or anything like that. 282 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 4: Petya. Heads are falling off, they're falling off. 283 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: But it's one of those things you A. 284 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: Few years ago, twenty twenty one, the Dodgers, everybody was 285 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: getting hurt up to and including Jay you know, Justin 286 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 3: Turner hamstring gives on him, and you're like, man, this 287 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: is really bad. You feel that three days before the 288 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: postseason starts. Freddy Freeman, the ankle gives has not been 289 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: a major problem, and I'm hoping it stays the same way. 290 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, it'd be interesting to see who steps up. 291 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: You know, Max Munsey's played a little bit of first base, right, 292 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: I mean he's he's obviously having a big postseason. Frequent 293 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: guest on Foul Territory, which everybody should subscribe to. Let's 294 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the X factors, right, I mean, 295 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 2: so we agreed kind of in the green room we're 296 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: gonna throw out show Hey, and we're gonna throw out Judge, 297 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: We're gonna throw out Stanton, We're gonna throw out Soto, 298 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: and we're gonna throw out Mookie Betts and Tommy Edmund 299 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: like the big six stars for these two teams over 300 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: the last week. Who is somebody kind of maybe a 301 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: forgotten name, maybe somebody that Yankees fans haven't seen a 302 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: lot of that could step up and be a big 303 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: factor in this series. 304 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: So heading into this postseason, I had an X factor 305 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: on my list on my board here to my right, 306 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: and it was gonna. 307 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: Be Will Smith. 308 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: He's been mostly missing in action this postseason, calling phenomenal 309 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 3: games behind the dish. 310 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: But if you can get Will. 311 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: Smith going taking advantage of that short porch there at 312 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: at Yankee Stadium, I think he can do something special. 313 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: And if he's able to keep kind of you know, 314 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: keep that line moving towards the bottom of the lineup, 315 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: now you're gonna be in a really, really good spot 316 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: as a Los Angeles Dodger fan. 317 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Will Smith. I'm gonna stick with 318 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: my guy. 319 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: We entered the postseason with him, and I'm hoping we 320 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: end the postseason in a good note with him. 321 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: Doesn't he have four straight championships or something like that. 322 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: Well, there is a Will Smith that has won get 323 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 3: to Will Smith. There's a twenty Will Smith that is 324 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 3: the Dodger catcher Will Smith. There's a twenty four Will 325 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: Smith who is entering the posts or entering the World Series, 326 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: Dodgers catcher Will Smith. Hopefully that it's that guy. Or 327 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: there's that lefty reliever who just goes everywhere. They're about 328 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: to win with Will Smith, the very very grizzled veteran lefty. 329 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: But he's not there anymore. And we got one. We 330 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: still got one in there, okay. 331 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: And we also got you know, the fresh prince Will Smith, 332 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 2: you know out there in La so I think you're 333 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: right here he does. Yesterday I had one of the 334 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: Yankees beat writers on. I told him my ex factor 335 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: was Anthony Volpi, their shortstop. 336 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 4: Young guy. 337 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: Didn't really have a great season, but he's he's been 338 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: getting on base at a really good clip in the postseason. 339 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 4: He's hitting near the bottom of the order. 340 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: He had a big hit against Class Ah, you know, 341 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: just to picked up a single, hit him really well. 342 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: He seems to hit those high v low guys pretty well. 343 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: Not a great breaking ball hitter, great defender, He's a 344 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: guy who can step up and also Jazz Chans I'm 345 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: sure you're familiar with Jazz, having played him in the 346 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: National League a lot of time. He has not done 347 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: anything this postseason. He had one meaningless home run against 348 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: the Royals in Game two, in which they lost. But 349 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: if he gets hot, he has shown at times this 350 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: year when that he can be electric. And the time 351 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: when the Yankees were playing the best was in a 352 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: sweep of the Phillies right around the trade deadline time 353 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: where they were putting up you ten runs a night, 354 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: and Jazz Chisholm was absolutely on fire. So those are 355 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: my two guys. 356 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 4: You know, I think about it. 357 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: I have a Yankee. 358 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: By the way, if I have a Yankee m watching 359 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: it is former Dodger Alex Verdugo. Still feels very scorned 360 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: by his old Walk club, and he has played well 361 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: against these Doyers in past meetings. So that's one guy 362 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 3: as a Dodger fan. Of the many big names the Yankees, 363 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 3: you know, having that lineup, Dougie can't be somebody let 364 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: beat you. 365 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got that fu plus metric and doesn't he's 366 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: a There was a game against the Red Sox this year, 367 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: his first game back in Boston, and he hit a 368 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: big go ahead home run about midway through the game 369 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: six or seventh the in and give the Yankees a lead. 370 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: They went on to win. 371 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: But then he went in a slump for about I 372 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: don't know, maybe four months, so I don't know. Yeah, 373 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 2: it sounds about right right. We're gonna get it, as 374 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: he used to say, We're gonna get a quick word 375 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: in a segment I like to call pay the light bill. 376 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: This is from Fuel, and then we'll be back to 377 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: talk about the guy everybody's excited to see.

Obviously, the seven hundred million dollar man. I 397 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: gotta say this just just selfishly. It's nice to not 398 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: have the biggest contract in baseball on our roster at 399 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: this point. 400 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 4: And I don't know. 401 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: If Wan Soto can eclipse seven hundred million. He might 402 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 2: eclipse the average annual present day value or whatever, but 403 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: nobody gives a shit about that. They care about seven 404 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: hundred million, so I think the record is safe for 405 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: a minute. Let's what have you seen from him in 406 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 2: his first postseason? And obviously he had a terrific season. 407 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: You know, maybe educate the Yankees fans who haven't had 408 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: a chance to watch him every day on the type 409 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: of player this guy is and why he got that 410 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 2: big check. 411 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 3: So breaking shoeotan. He's very good at baseball. He's just 412 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: hitting it this year, but he's hitting the hell out 413 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 3: of it. Sets, you know, creates a new club in baseball, 414 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 3: that fifty to fifty club. Stolen base has not been 415 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: a factor so far for him this postseason. It's been 416 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: an interesting postseason his first time through. When there's a 417 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: runner on base, he attacks, and some people are kind 418 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: of saying maybe this, you know, do you move him 419 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: down to the lineup where there's more opportunities with runners 420 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: in scoring position. 421 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: Of course you don't do that. If it ain't broke, 422 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: don't fix it. 423 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: But you know, he's two completely different people when there's 424 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 3: been a runner on base. But still what he brings 425 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 3: to a lineup, what he lets somebody like a Mookie Betts, 426 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 3: who's been the leadoff hitter for the Dodgers for you know, 427 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: since he came. 428 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: To LA last year. 429 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 3: Last two three postseasons have been very very rough for 430 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 3: Marcus Lynn Bett. So I think for me, it took 431 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 3: a little bit a lot of bit of pressure off 432 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 3: of him to be able to get show Hay. 433 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: In front of him. 434 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: And you know, the the entering the postseason, it was 435 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 3: one of those things where you were worried about the Dodgers, 436 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 3: kind of living and dying with the long ball and 437 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 3: living and dying with show Heyo Tani. But then you 438 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 3: get you know, NLCS MVP Tommy Edmunds standing, you know, 439 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 3: stepping up and kind of taking pressure off of everybody. 440 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 3: What I'll say is the lineup does not run through 441 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 3: show Hao Tani. As a Dodger fan, I say, thank 442 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 3: god it does not. But he's still you know. They 443 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: put up that little graphic on Fox that says he's 444 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 3: four batters away, he's eight batters away, he's three days away. 445 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 3: There's a reason he do that's he's a fun player 446 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 3: to watch it. When he gets a hold of one 447 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: ball go far. So he's one of those tinkle guys. 448 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 3: You don't pee when he's up, You don't pee when 449 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: Won Sot's up, you don't pee when Aaron judges up. 450 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: Those are the guys with big boy power. And of 451 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 3: course I call him Mike Stanton to still do this day. 452 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: They got the big boys. 453 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 2: Power in there, didn't Stanton putting one out of Dodger 454 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 2: Stadium completely windows with the Marlins. 455 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you were at that game. I was at 456 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: that game. 457 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 3: It's one of those things where you're sitting there and 458 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 3: you're just like, wow, and now there's a plaque. 459 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: I was at a game last year where Aaron Judge 460 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: hit three home runs and he went opo into the 461 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: upper deck. He's just if you haven't had a chance 462 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: to watch Aaron Judge on a regular basis, if he's 463 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: on in this series, you're in for a treat. He's 464 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: one of those guys too, though, who attacks fastballs, just 465 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: absolutely murders fastballs. But you can get him with breaking 466 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: balls if you place them well right. So I'm interested 467 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 2: to see how this is gonna shake out. Is there 468 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: any chance in your mind that show Hao Tani pitches 469 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 2: in this series. I'm gonna throw a scenario at you, 470 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 2: all right, all right? We got Juan Soto up, bases loaded, 471 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: ninth inning of Game seven, Dodgers clinging to a two 472 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: run lead, out of arms in the bullpen, to show 473 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 2: Heyo Tani step up and get the final out, because 474 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: that would be an all time moment to watch it once, 475 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: to walk him off with a grand slam. 476 00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 4: By the way, you. 477 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: Write a movie, you can write a movie to that 478 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: for sure, especially if the Dodgers win, not like Moneyball, 479 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 3: where you know, the the hype of the movie was, Oh, 480 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 3: they won twenty toy one games in a row, and 481 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: that's it. So I've long, much to the detriment of 482 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 3: a lot of people, or much to the annoyance of 483 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 3: a lot of people, including my co host Alona Rizzo. 484 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: I've been hoping, I've been praying, you know, fingers across 485 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: every appendage that I can cross, that maybe show hey 486 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: can find a way to get off the bump, you know, 487 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 3: pick up an inning or two in the World Series 488 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 3: if we were lucky enough to get there, which the 489 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: team was able to get there. At this point, you're 490 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: just not seeing him throw to batters. He's he's kind 491 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 3: of just throwing some flat grounds. He haven't even seen 492 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 3: a bullpen in a few days. Unless I completely miss 493 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: something there, I think the the idea of of oh, 494 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: what's this, you know, the wrestling move here and he 495 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: comes out of out of left field with either his 496 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: glove and a ball or maybe a folding chair. I 497 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna happen. As much as the Dodgers 498 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: could use an extra arm in there, for fun. I 499 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: would be now very shocked to see show Hey throwing 500 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 3: a baseball or pitching for a for the Dodgers in 501 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 3: a meaningful game. 502 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 4: It's gonna be something. Though. 503 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: Next year, when you guys got Otani pitching and hitting, 504 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: you got glass no back. That's why I think it's 505 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: important that the Yankees knock you guys off this year 506 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: because right now you're a wounded animal that you know 507 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: your your prime, your prime for the feast. But next 508 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: year I have full faith that you guys will be 509 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: back to full strength. But that's the beauty of a 510 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two game season. You never know 511 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. Anybody could get hurt, anybody you know 512 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: could be traded, that type of stuff. So uh, I 513 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: hope it's a really fun series. I wish you guys luck, 514 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: but not victory. 515 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is fun. 516 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: This is what we wanted, Baseball fans, Baseball deserves this. 517 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: They didn't deserve with all due respect, we didn't want 518 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 3: to watch another Rangers and Diamondbacks.
