1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,960 Speaker 1: It's a concern. 2 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 2: The Dodgers just have to worry about what they're doing, 3 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 2: and I'm thankful that Andrew Freeman dressed the needs that 4 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 2: could absolutely hinder them down the stretch. 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and it's a surprised bonus edition of 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: Dodger's Territory. My voice does not sound like Alana Rizzos. 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: Scottie Brown with half of the Dynamic duo, Clint Pascius 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: with us right now, and then also Scott Kerman joining 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: us back on the show, probably leading in appearances at 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: this point. As we appreciate having you on here, Scott, 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: and make sure you check out all of his work 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: as he hosts video pods and rights for Dodger Blue. 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,319 Speaker 1: So great to have you on right at the jump here. 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: How you doing, man? 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: Doing pretty well? 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: It's an exciting day. 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: This was a yea, I would say a long time coming, 18 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: just because of how much chatter on how many different 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: directions the Dodgers could have gone. If it didn't go 20 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: as well as it did, we'd be having a different conversation. 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: But I'm doing. 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: Well, good good. We're about to jump into it before 23 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: we do before the ticket. Clint. Great to host a 24 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: show with you like this for the first time. And 25 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: I'll start with a fun comment because I just hosted 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: eighty million hours of Foul Territory and one of my 27 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: favorite comments of the day was someone talking about how 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: they were going to do some type of drinking game, 29 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: like a shot for every trade the Dodgers make, and 30 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: they check in hours later and they're like, I'm so sober, 31 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: and we're like, hold up, hold up, and then we're 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: talking into like a real strong drink at the buzzer 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: with the flerity move. We'll get to flarity. But I 34 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: just figured you'd like that comment. 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. I mean, if you look at the 36 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: totality of the trade deadline, this person should be pretty 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: messed up because the Dodgers made a lot of moves. 38 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: So I'd say, let's talk about it now. Let's get 39 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: into that big ticket. 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: Let's do it all right, So let's go over all 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: the trades that the Dodgers make over the last few days. Obviously, 42 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty is the headliner and towards the buzzer of 43 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: the deadline, but also let's not forget about Tommy Edmund 44 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: and Michael Kopek and that wild three team deal. With 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: the White Sox and the Cardinals. Ahmed Rosario is back 46 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: because why not. And Kevin Kiermeyer can really pick it 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: out there. He struggled with the Bats so far this year. 48 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: But Clint, why don't you kick it off and then 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: Scott G you can follow. 50 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know everybody. I felt if this team does 51 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 3: not go out and get Jack Flarerty I said, you 52 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 3: guys just before we went live, I'm pretty sure it 53 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 3: would have been pitchforks and torches. Dodgers fans would have 54 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: not been happy without getting Flaherty, especially after the last 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: two deadlines. This team has endured this fan base as 56 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: an endured but as as SCOTTYG, I'm still some of 57 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: his thunder here. The stars kind of aligned for this 58 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: Dodgers team, for Andrew Friedman and company to pick the 59 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: death are arguably not even arguably the best starting pitcher 60 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: that was technically available because Schooble was not going to 61 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: get traded. Uh, Crochet, we learned thanks to our our 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: friend Ken Rosenthal not getting traded, and I think he 63 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: kind of made himself untradeable. So now the Dodgers just 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: give themselves so many cards to play with, so much 65 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: what Dave Roberts loves optionality on the roster, but I 66 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: don't want to dive too much into it. Let's give 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: some more reaction here, Scott, what do you like about 68 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: Flaherty and this hodgepodge of pieces coming back to. 69 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: La so a question that you know. Jeff'spiegel, another host 70 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: from Dodger Blue again. It's great to have you be 71 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: back on here. It's a fun day heading into today. 72 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: With the moves that the Dodgers made yesterday bringing in 73 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund, Michael Kopek and bringing Amed Rozario back for 74 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: the second year to the Dodgers, those moves on their 75 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: own signaled to me that from what I've seen and 76 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people in chat that have tuned in 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: a Dodger Blue and watched me on my thoughts on 78 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: the approach towards the deadline is that the floor of 79 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: the bench has been so much lower than it has 80 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: been in recent years. So bringing that up was something 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: that just felt like an absolute need and the way 82 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: that they attacked it, and and if we've been going 83 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: straight that route and understanding we're getting players with a 84 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: solid baseline that you can have it just like you said, 85 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: Clint some optionality, versatility, and players when in the back 86 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: of the baseball card says they're you know, gonna fit 87 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: right in and you know exactly who they are. Uh 88 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: today spelled everything going ahead and getting a starting pitcher, 89 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: and it was if Garrett Crochet wasn't going to be there, 90 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: then Jack Flaherty was the number one option for me. 91 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: And it played exactly out like that. Yep. 92 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Flerdy has been pitching like a one for anyone 93 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: that hasn't been watching him since the Tigers, you know, 94 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: are not great this year. There were some thoughts that 95 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: maybe the Tigers would be good in twenty twenty four. 96 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: It hasn't happened. They're not a terrible team, but they're 97 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: just not there yet. And the Scoogle talk was bs 98 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: we shot that down weeks ago on foul territory. I 99 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: think that was you know, certain insiders kind of hearing 100 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: from execs that wanted to find out what it would 101 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: cost to get someone like that. It's worth finding out 102 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: what the asset's worth. But that was never going to happen. 103 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: This was a must for Detroit. And of course you 104 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: look at the rotation now and yes, some of the 105 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: comments coming in here on DT and you got to 106 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: like having a guy that that could pitch games one 107 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: for you in the playoffs. Dodgers probably are not going 108 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: to have him pitch game one, but you're getting a 109 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: number one playoff starter. He's had troubles, like last year, 110 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: he was not the same dude yet, right you saw 111 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: flashes and then he faded late. You had not pitched 112 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: much the prior three years. The Orils kind of knew 113 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: there was a high risk, and this time around you're 114 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: getting the best version of Jack Flaherty. And I would 115 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: even say it's a more polished version than what you 116 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: had years back when he was a cy young contender. 117 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: So maybe this stuff's a little bit less than what 118 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: it was in his quote prime, but you're essentially getting 119 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: prime Jack Flaherty joining now a Dodgers organization that knows 120 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: how to, you know, take the best advantage of a 121 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: pitcher and play it out in a rotation. I'm a 122 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: huge fan obviously, as you can tell of what they 123 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: just put together here, we might as well bring this 124 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: up too. I saw this tweet as we were talking 125 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: from John Shay, and I think we have it. John 126 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: covers the Giants Giants fans cannot be pleased with what 127 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: went down over the past few days. It's a confusing 128 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: time period. I always hate when you're a fan and 129 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: you don't really understand what your franchise is telling you. 130 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: They were telling you they're competing to start the season. 131 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: They've had an underwhelming year, but they're not out of it. 132 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: They definitely have some work to do yet. They trade 133 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: away Alex Cobb. Today, they traded away Jorge Solayer and 134 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: Luke Jackson. And here's the tweet. It's a quote from 135 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: far Anxiety that was fresh from today. Quote, we feel 136 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: we have the best rotation in baseball. Who wants to 137 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: react to that one? First, it's a nice starting staff, 138 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: They've got some guys coming back. Snell's been awesome and 139 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Robbie Ray. But best rotation 140 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: in baseball, So the Giants a think they've got that asset. 141 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: Clint and b must have not thought there's much to 142 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: do with the offense either, because as far as I saw, 143 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: I think Mark Canna was the big return for them. 144 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: This is not a perfect team. 145 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: Hey, you can call yourself the having the best starting 146 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: rotation in baseball doesn't mean much when you're not going 147 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: to see it in the postseason, and the Giants are 148 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: not going to make the postseason unless something goes really 149 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: magically well for them. That's where I'm at on that. 150 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: We should add. We got more news breaking here during 151 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: Dodgers territory, the Dodgers tweeting out to make room for 152 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: Kermeyer and Flarity. Unexpectedly for me, the Dodgers have designated 153 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: for assignment Gus Varlan and Nick Ramirez, a couple of 154 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: guys off the forty man roster that didn't really make 155 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: a lot of sense on this roster. And Scott, We've 156 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: been talking about that, Scotty G. We've been talking about 157 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: the fact that the forty man roster was going to 158 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: be a big problem for this team, and we're kind 159 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: of seeing some of it here and more of it coming. 160 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: But for now, the Dodgers got the you could argue 161 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: the best starting rotation now, Sorry, Giants, I'll let you 162 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 3: kind of piggyback on all of that, Scotty G. Tomy, 163 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: Scott's in here for me today, Guys. I agree a 164 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: little bit. 165 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I'd like to just stick with Flarity. I 166 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: want to I want to talk you know right with 167 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: Scotty b about what he was going off. I'm a 168 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: big fan of Jack Flarerty. You know, Clint, you and 169 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: I have spoke about Jack a number of times. You know, 170 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: we've linked up his thirty two percent strikeout rates, the 171 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: best number of his career thanks to improve command. He's 172 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: got a big time feel secondary stuff, and if he, 173 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: I think, had four more innings, he'd have the third 174 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: best expected FIP in Major League Baseball. This is a 175 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: guy who is doing it himself on a Tigers team 176 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: that doesn't have much going for him, a lot of 177 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: high hopes, but you know you're getting him into a 178 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: Dodgers organization. You know he's going to be able to 179 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: work with the front office staff there. They look to 180 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: buff their defense, so things are going to get better 181 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: for Jack Flahert. He gets to come right back home. 182 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: I want to, you know, just kind of align with 183 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: some of the question marks that the Dodgers rotation has had, 184 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: and that a main reason for going out and getting 185 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: a front end guy was just because there's so many 186 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: questions about the health of their starting staff. You don't 187 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: know what you're getting with Yamamoto. He's just started throwing 188 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 2: program two weeks ago. So if you have Glass now 189 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: already in an innings territory where he hasn't been Gavin Stone, 190 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: same thing, you needed somebody else, and then behind them 191 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: who else you got? I got a bunch of rookies 192 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: who have shown flashes, and then Clayton Kershaw, Bobby Miller, 193 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: Walker Buehler who just all need to kind of prove themselves. 194 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: Kershaw's look good though, but again you just I feel 195 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: for me. Starting pitches was a one and they've got 196 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: a rotation now that I feel comfortable with. 197 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: Bronnie, I want to ask you about this because we've 198 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: seen some of these guys too, you know, even this 199 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 3: weekend Robleski, River Ryan, the fact that the Dodgers were 200 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: able to hold on to this, were you getting the 201 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 3: feeling during ft that people feel once again, Hey, Andrew 202 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 3: Fleeesman at it because you look at some of the 203 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: what Houston had to give them, Gucci, The Dodgers gave 204 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: up scraps, with all due respect to Thyron Lorenzo and 205 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: the other kid whose name is skating Me, Trey Sweeney. 206 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: The Dodgers gave up nothing to get the best starter available. 207 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was a theme really for this entire 208 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: trade season, I think you're seeing it more and more 209 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: come to a surface here where the value of high 210 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: level prospects is so damn high, so many of them 211 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: at the highest level. I'm not talking about mid tier. 212 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm talking about like your top three new ORG. If 213 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: you have a good ORG, it's too high to trade away, right, 214 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: It's worth too much. Those players make literally nothing compared 215 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: to how major leaguers get paid deeper into their career. 216 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: You're making six figures in a league that's a whatever, 217 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollar revenue league, so it's just too valuable 218 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: to trade those players away. I just did Hot Sheet 219 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: our Baseball America show as well, right after Foul Territory, 220 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: and we were going all over all the prospect returns. 221 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: They were saying, how this was the first time, I 222 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: think in a minute that there haven't been any top 223 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: one hundred prospects that were even moved. And that's just 224 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: telling you how teams are hugging their prospects and then 225 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: they don't care. They'd rather not get a player. But 226 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: if everybody's holding tight like that, which reminds me of 227 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: free agency, where some teams are just like, yeah, we're 228 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: not going for that price for certain free agents. We 229 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: saw it this year. Then what happens The prices go down, 230 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: and so that's where the Dodgers are able to capitalize 231 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: and say, Okay, we're going down to the second tier, 232 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: like call me back when you're there, because we can 233 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: still be competitive there, and that's how they get someone 234 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: like Jack Flaherty. So I agree with you. Kikuchi was 235 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: looked at as the prime return of trade season in 236 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: terms of what he was worth, saying he's the best prospect. 237 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: Those were the best prospects going back, although some people 238 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: really love Jake bloss and on that last show they 239 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: said they wouldn't have even traded that that one player alone, 240 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: let alone all three in that deal for Toronto. So 241 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: they put that in a little bit of an outlier category. 242 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: But to sum it up, Clint, you're right, they didn't 243 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: give up much for Flarerty. That's gonna burn them long term. 244 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: And I thought the three team trade the other day 245 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: between the Cardinals, the Dodgers, and the White Sox was 246 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: stupid lopsided. Okay, the Dodgers crushed it. They got Tommy 247 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: Edmond if he's healthy, and I believe that they've been 248 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: scouting him. Well, great, this is an average bat who 249 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: plays above average defense everywhere, right, and he's a gamer, 250 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: So there's risk because you don't know what he's gonna 251 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: look like when he comes back soon. But that's great, dude, 252 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: Kopek can pitch high leverage innings for you in the playoffs, okay, 253 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and he's turned a corner two in the last few weeks. 254 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: He made some adjustments with his cutter, so that's all great. 255 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: And then the Cardinals crushed that trade too. Eric Fetti, 256 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: I think has been one of the best play in 257 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: baseball this year. I was shocked that they barely had 258 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: to give anything up for him. And then, of course 259 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: Tommy fam can help you out against lefties. They needed that. 260 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: The White Sox are going to look back at this 261 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: particular trade and be like, we completely screwed ourselves over. 262 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: We messed up here big. I think that's why they 263 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: were a little hesitant today too, because they got smashed 264 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: yesterday for doing that deal. 265 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: When had the White Sox ever done anything wrong as 266 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 3: an organization. Let's be real, now, come on. 267 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: I'm sitting I said, three feet away from aj Prizinski. 268 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: Every day we took the best thing from them, and 269 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: it's part of the I. 270 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: Can only imagine how bad it is off Mike, So 271 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: we'll throw that in there. Scotty, g I want to 272 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: talk about some of these guys that Brownie just mentioned 273 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 3: here talking about Edmund, talking about the return of Ahmed Rosario, 274 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 3: Guys that you know, on paper, maybe they're not the 275 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: most sexy fits for this team, but it kind of 276 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 3: fits the team needs right now. How do you think 277 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: they play out is now and thrown in Kirmier into 278 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: the mix. How does all of this kind of work 279 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: with the piece we have We've talked now for months 280 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 3: about you know, even mentioned the bad bench, the kind 281 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 3: of struggle bus of the back end of the lineup, 282 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: which has gotten better. Shout out to my boy Gavin 283 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 3: Lucks for figuring some things out, Bronnie, you know I've 284 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: always been high on Lucks. Don't don't say otherwise. But 285 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: how does this play out? What do you think it's 286 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: gonna look like? 287 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: There's gonna be some shuffling. They just the Dodgers are 288 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: attacking some of those needs. But I want to, you know, 289 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: piggyback with Scotty, bron said, man like Tommy Edmonds just 290 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: two years removed from being a five win player. He 291 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: can play everywhere. Initially, before the keer Meyer deal got announced, 292 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: I said, immediately, I was like, this is a guy 293 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: who can slot in in center field, and you're getting 294 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: a goal glove caliber, you know, goal glove club caliber guy. 295 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: He's gonna be a switch hitter. He slots right in there. 296 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: Back of the baseball card said, he's about mid nineties 297 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: WRC plus. Provides a ton of value in defense. And 298 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: then they go out and they get keer Meyer. Okay, 299 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: and now that opens up. When keer Meyer's on the field, 300 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: Edmond can slide around all over wherever you need him. 301 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: He's played primarily up the middle endfield, already started his 302 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: rehab assignment daching like mostly there in TRIPAA or on 303 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: his rehab assignment. Excuse me, right, when he's ready to go, 304 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: he's gonna slot right in if they feel comfortable where 305 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: he's at health wise, and go ahead, copeck exactly that Scott. Like, 306 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: last five outings he's been nearly perfect, just one hit aloud, 307 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: nine strikeouts nowhere and runs and he's got another added 308 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: year of control. So you've got Edmond who also provides 309 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: you with a need now and for next year in 310 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 2: case the Dodgers don't go ahead and you know, bring 311 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: in a short stop. They've got one right there. They've 312 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: got a utility man who they know their baseline is. 313 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: And then I'm ed Rozarro is just having a fine year. 314 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: He's hitting over three hundred one fifteen WRC plus. I'm 315 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: just happy with it. He's a bargain. He's five hundred 316 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: thousand the rest of the regular season, so absolutely nothing. 317 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: It was just sat of Vargus, go, that's just for me. Yeah, well, 318 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: respect to Mickey Vargas. 319 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, here two more you can answer him at the 320 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: same time, Scott, before you jump one, are you satisfied, Like, 321 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: do you feel like this is a roster that can 322 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: win a World Series and give you a high percentage 323 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: chance to get through the tournament that is October? And 324 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: number two? Are there any concerns that the Padres could 325 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: be a pain in the ass to face in the 326 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: playoffs if they sneak in, Because I know they just 327 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: keep chucking away prospects. They're also really good at finding them, 328 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: like they are able to restash the top end of 329 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: their system. And damn, I will say this this one 330 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I feel confident about the Padres have a better high 331 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: leverage bullpen right now than the Dodgers. I'm talking if 332 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: you take four or five guys that you trust in October, 333 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: the Padres have the edge. They figured out one slice 334 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: that they can win in and that is a very 335 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: important slice in the playoffs. So your thoughts there. 336 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you're on a good track. Same thing I 337 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: said right when the deal got announced for Tanner Scott, 338 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: I said, you got to give a lot of credit 339 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: to Aj Preller. He knows when a spot is you 340 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: got to go get it. Has on Kim's in a 341 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: free agent year, Jerkson profar. He's on a spot where 342 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: you cannot disagree with what he's doing. You cannot downplay it. 343 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: He's having a career season and it's been They've been hot. 344 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: I've tuned into a number of Padres games and their 345 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: offense just goes off. So this is a big series 346 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: coming up with the Padres and you have to respect 347 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: what they're doing. Aj Peller for as reckless if people 348 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: think he is with prospects, he knows that a spot 349 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: where his roster is. I've got two horses at the front, 350 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: Michael King and Dylan Cees and then I've got a 351 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: bullpen that I can just load with the top guys 352 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: you know on the market. Tanner, Scott, they made another 353 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: solid move names escaping me right now, Jason Adam Roberts. 354 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: They've got Jeremy Aestrodda, They've got some flamethrowers now. So absolutely, Scott, like, 355 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: it's a you're right on. I believe in what they're 356 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: doing down there in San Diego. I'm not going to 357 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: discredit it and act like just because they've been the 358 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: little brother for a bit. It's hard to forget what 359 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: they've done, you know, the NLDS exit. You have to 360 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: understand what the padres are doing, and at any moment, 361 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 2: they've got an offense that can turn it on and 362 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: they've been doing it. So yes, absolutely, I'm a it's 363 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 2: a concern, but the Dodgers just have to worry about 364 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: what they're doing. And I'm thankful that Andrew Friedman dressed 365 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: the needs that could absolutely hinder them down the stretch. 366 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: M Yeah, good call. No. And with Preller, I mean, 367 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: he's so good, especially on the international scouting market. He's 368 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: just done that job for so long, you know, even 369 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: before he took over a DM that yeah, he gets 370 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: Leo Debrez is now one of the better prospects in 371 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: baseball and that was an international signing. So anyway, Scott, 372 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: awesome to have you on, Scott g it's been great, 373 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: kind of out out numbering Clint here with the Scott 374 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: Scott attack. But make sure Scot's work and especially on 375 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: Dodger Blue it's very simple to find. Dodgerblue dot Com 376 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: does a great job there, Senior staff writer. Thanks Scott. 377 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: Good having you on, man. Thanks guys, appreciate it. You 378 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: take care you too. All right, Clint, let's dive in 379 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: a little bit here. So before we get to the 380 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: rest of the division, I wanted to ask you the 381 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: same question. Are you satisfied, mister Dodger fan with everything here? 382 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: And can I try and poke a hole like when 383 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: we get to the playoffs. There's two pieces of the 384 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: puzzle here. We know there's going to be star power, 385 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: especially if Mooki is back and feeling all that, right, 386 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: Are we satisfy with four to five arms that we 387 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: really feel good about at the back end of the bullpen? 388 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: Because really that's what you need, I mean, technically, can 389 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: get away with three or four, but four to five right, 390 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: and then the bottom of the lineup. Do we feel 391 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: better or do you feel like there's gonna be points 392 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: where you look on If we can get through five 393 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: of them, right, then we're good at the bottom. Because 394 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: they didn't get like your Luis Robert. 395 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean even so lou Bob kind of 396 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 3: fallen off in recent weeks. I think they did the 397 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: best with what was available out there, the whole, the whole. 398 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 3: I've said it a bunch of times over the last 399 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 3: two days. They raised the floor and I think that's 400 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 3: an important thing they needed to do there. It brings 401 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 3: competition back internally too, on the roster as well. It's 402 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: not just hey, Chris Taylor, you could sit around hitting 403 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: a buck sixty all year. Kicky Hernandez same thing, or 404 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: Gavin Luck same thing. Now, there's some challengers there that 405 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 3: want as much playing time as you're earning. So I 406 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: like that happening internal, that kind of internal dynamic. But 407 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 3: it also protects against you know, we we don't know 408 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 3: if Max Montzy's coming back. We feel pretty confident that 409 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 3: Mookie Betts is coming back. We feel pretty confident that 410 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: Miguel Rojas is coming back. So all of these pieces 411 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 3: now again it just injects that competition to the team, 412 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 3: to the organization. You know, lights of fire under everybody's 413 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 3: ass which I think is very important for this club 414 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 3: that we've seen enter the last couple of postseasons pretty 415 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 3: freaking stagnant. So we're talking about roster there, you got 416 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 3: a lot of protection and in the bullpen. A massive 417 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 3: factor right now is getting Evan Phillips back online, back 418 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: on the right track. He has been rough. I'm not 419 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 3: gonna say it was since he joined us on Dodgers' territory, 420 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 3: but maybe maybe we did a little something to break him. 421 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: I kid, I kid, But if things don't work out 422 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 3: with the guys you have in the bullpen, they could 423 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: plug in this justin Robleski, kid, they could plug in 424 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 3: River Ryan, two dudes who have looked exceptional, who maybe 425 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 3: we're going to be piggyback guys. Maybe we're gonna be 426 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 3: getting you some starting innings. But now all of a sudden, 427 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: you have a wealth of option that can get you 428 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: some dominant innings, either single innings, multiple innings late in games, 429 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 3: and we've seen in recent years that's the type of 430 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 3: stuff that wins you championships as somebody that's willing to 431 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: kind of pitch out of their comfort zone and give 432 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 3: the team everything it has, either in one inning, three innings, 433 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 3: or you know, whatever it may be. So again, working 434 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: with what was available out there. I love what Andrew 435 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 3: Friedman did, Adding Edmund Rosario, I'm a little less bullish 436 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 3: on Copec, but I'm willing to trust you know him 437 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: working in the Mark Pryor lab. And then same with 438 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: Jack Flahert. You're throwing that in there where if Yamamoto 439 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 3: doesn't come back, you got some insurance there. If Stone 440 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 3: runs out of gas, you got some insurance there. So 441 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: very very good moves, very good moves for this organization. 442 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: Running through a few questions here in the chat before 443 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: we jump, some people are asking who could be active 444 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: tonight of the newbies. I think it's just the med Rosario. 445 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, anybody from today, like you're not Meyer's 446 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: not getting here in five seconds unless they came up 447 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: with like I was on all day to day. I 448 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: don't know if they came up with some new device 449 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: where you can teleport, you know, world moving fast, but 450 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: I don't think so, right, So no, greer Meyer. Yeah, 451 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: we'll figure out when Flaherty's gonna stack into the rotation. 452 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: There was some chatter to a little bit earlier about 453 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: what the team is going to do with both Bobby 454 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: Miller and Walker Buehller. There were some fans saying, throw 455 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: them both in the bullpen. I think that would be 456 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: a pretty tough call on Bueller. Maybe you can get 457 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: away with that with Bobby. I don't know what are 458 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: you hearing or what have you been following with those two, 459 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: and what do you think happens? 460 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 3: Well Buehler, I'm I'm lost on Bueller and I think 461 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: he is as well. I'll give him another couple of 462 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 3: triple A starts. Hopefully they find something. You know, they 463 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 3: were trying to claim that the hip, you know, contributed 464 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 3: to issues. Okay, wink wink, I'll buy into that. But 465 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 3: Bobby Miller is somebody been covering this team for years, 466 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: been watching Bobby Miller's career and hearing some of the 467 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 3: stuff from prospects people, some of the stuff that's say, 468 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: maybe his his game plays better as a bullpen armed, 469 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 3: So if you're able to get him as a one inning, 470 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 3: dominant dude that can hit you one oh three on 471 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: the gun with a nasty change up or slide piece 472 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: whatever he needs that just a two pitch pitcher, one 473 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 3: inning back into the bullpen. That's something that I think 474 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 3: the team really needs to consider with Bobby Miller because 475 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: at this point now with this addition, he's probably not 476 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: going to get the Jack Flarerity edition. That is, if 477 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 3: pro I're not going to get another serious opportunity to 478 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: break this starting rotation this year and then next year 479 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: it just keeps, you know, building up. Shoeyotani will be 480 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 3: back Dodgers, probably in on Roki Sasaki. So maybe you 481 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: need to either start looking at moving Miller or getting 482 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 3: him in a role this year that helps uh with 483 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 3: this championship window that's starting in twenty four. So it's 484 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 3: kind of my take on it. 485 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: What's your playoff rotation? If the playoffs started tomorrow. 486 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 3: Well tomorrow, that would have So no, that's not. 487 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: Fair because then Yamamoto. Let your playoff rotation. If we 488 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: fast forward and it's October first or whatever the day. 489 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 3: It starts, if Yamamoto is healthy, Yamamoto's my number one 490 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 3: because what we saw in his final start in New 491 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 3: York against the Yankees hostile environment. That was sexy. That 492 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 3: was fun to watch. Maybe it let him, you know, 493 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 3: in that shoulder, kind of barking on him, but it's Yama, 494 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 3: it's glass now, and then after that it's Flarity or 495 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: maybe you put Flarity in the middle there you know, 496 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: there's no wrong answer, and then after that you kind 497 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: of got to see, you know, these next couple of weeks, 498 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: what Kershaw is. I think Kershaw as your number four 499 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 3: guy in the postseason is not a bad issue. And 500 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 3: if not, you know, Gavin Stone has been phenomenal all 501 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: season long. Last month a little bit rough, but I 502 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: think he's he's got enough sweat equity into the season 503 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: where he should earn a spot. So you have all 504 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: of those guys, plus again, what are they gonna do 505 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: with Rubleski? What are they going to do with River Ryan? 506 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 3: But those are my top four there. I like it 507 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 3: okay better, I'll say it right now, better than the Giants. 508 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Exactly. That's why we brought it up. They're definitely in 509 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: a much better position and basically every way, not to 510 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: mention the standings. Thank you for the super chat at 511 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: the buzzer here from Stroking on the rookie Sazaki fund. 512 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: We can certainly talk about him most weeks.
