1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: The early struggles kind of helped me, you know, like, Okay, 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: if I'm not gonna play short, I'm gonna bust my 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: ass to be the best second baseman that I can. 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everybody. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 3: Welcome to a special edition of Dodgers Territory Live with 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 3: you on this Wednesday afternoon. 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: I am Alana Rizzo. That is Clint to CEUs. 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 3: We are not on tomorrow at our regular time because 9 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: the Dodgers have a one pm start in Los Angeles, 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: so that kind of messes around with our territory. But 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: we have a big guest today, Clint, we're gonna be 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 3: welcoming in Gavin lux No better time than to talk 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 3: to LuxI. He has been on fire the last couple 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 3: of weeks. Looking forward to that, my friend. 15 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be fun talking to LuxI. Well deserved 16 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 4: player of the week. But let's get into the big ticket, Alana. 17 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: All right, before we get into Gavin Lux coming on the. 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: Show, which we always appreciate guys coming on and taking 19 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: the time to be with us. Evan Phillips, Clint, do 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: you think he's losing his grip on the CLO The 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: reason I say that is because he says that, you know, 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: conviction in his pitches is not the issue. 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: This from Mike d. Giovanna. It's not the problem. 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: It's more of a mindset of shift and focused, straying 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: too far away from my thought process on the mound. 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 4: Definitely not a very good month for the high leverage 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,279 Speaker 4: honey Bun. I think he's given up on eight runs 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 4: in six and two thirds innings ten point eight oh 29 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 4: e er. But still I'm not terribly worried about Evan Phillips. 30 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 4: He's bought a lot of uh, you know, I guess 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: sweat equity into that position, and he was never really 32 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 4: necessarily a true true closer. Yes, he got the lion's 33 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 4: share of time there in the ninth inning, but he's 34 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 4: still somebody that Dave Roberts has moved around. He's kind 35 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 4: of played him, you know, in the eighth inning, going 36 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 4: against some of the bigger parts, the heart of the 37 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 4: lineup as people might call it. 38 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 5: So with Evan, I'm not worried. 39 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 4: And if he's not, you know, closing every game in October, 40 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 4: I'm not worried because this team has a lot of 41 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: a lot of guys that are absolute dogs in the 42 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 4: back end of that bullpen. So if it's Evan, if 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: it's trying in, if it's Alex Vesia, Dan Hudson been 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 4: picking up some more saves. I'm in a good spot 45 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 4: with with EP kind of you know, taking some time 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 4: to figure it out. 47 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 5: Are you worried about Evan? 48 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: I don't think that there's that much of a worry 49 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: issue right here. 50 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: But here is something that I do question. 51 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: I wonder if you don't have a true closer, like 52 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: let's say you have foreclosers, it means you don't have 53 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: a closer at all, right, I mean back in the 54 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: day when Kenley was there, and I understand that, you know, 55 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 3: Kenley gave up the home run recently to Kei Key Hernandez. 56 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: But the point is that we knew that for all 57 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 3: intents and purposes when Kenley came on, he was going 58 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: to shut it down. Yes, oftentimes he did it with traffic, 59 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: but he shut it down. I just feel like if 60 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: it's almost like if you have, you know, three quarterbacks, 61 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 3: you don't have a quarterback. And I kind of feel 62 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: the same way about the closer role. I feel like, 63 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 3: if you have too many people that get that call 64 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 3: of the ninth inning, because those final three outs of 65 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: a game. It takes a particular kind of beast to 66 00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: do that job. 67 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: And I just think that I don't really like not 68 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: having a. 69 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: Bona fide closer, a guy that you know is going 70 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: to come into the game and lock it down. 71 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 6: Yeah. 72 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: I mean I could understand that, but I would argue, 73 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: in October and postseason play, how often do we really 74 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 4: see that ninth inning guy ending up with that spot. 75 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: Of course, they had a starter and twenty ago and 76 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 4: pick you up three innings or whatever. So when you 77 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 4: get in that postseason, having that one dude who is 78 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: in the ninth I think is not as big of 79 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 4: a deal to this team. 80 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 5: That said, I agree with you. 81 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 4: I feel much more comfortable when you know you have 82 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: Mariano Rivera is going to be getting the baseball in 83 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: the ninth inning. 84 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 5: But it's a different ballgame. 85 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: And you know, as much as we love EP, he's 86 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: not Mo there in the ninth inning and Marianto. You know, 87 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 4: we blew a game or two. Sorry Derek, our producer, 88 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: who is a Yankees fan, But this is a situation. 89 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: I think Evan figures it out and he'll be He'll 90 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: be that guy who is an option at the back 91 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: end of ball games, you know, in a month or 92 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: two or three from now. 93 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: I love that you just brought in Marana Rivera. Why 94 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: don't we just get Trevor Hoffman too. While we're at it, 95 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: Let's bring in Gavin Lux. I have been following Gavin 96 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: his entire career when he got drafted. Obviously he came 97 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: up for the first time, and we're so excited to 98 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: have him. Gavin, I appreciate you taking the time to 99 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: be with us. Thank you so much. What a time 100 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 3: that you've had the last couple of weeks. In your opinion, 101 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: what do you think has made the most difference for 102 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: you offensively? 103 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 7: What's going on? Thanks for having me guys. Yeah, I 104 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 7: think just h I think I said it last night. 105 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: Like being more aggressive. I think earlier in the year, 106 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: I was still kind of feeling my way through at 107 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: bats and swings and trying to figure out how my 108 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: need felt, and there was just a lot of different variables, 109 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, going into it. 110 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 7: But I actually went. 111 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: Back home over the All Star break and I got 112 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: to hit with my uncle, who's like kind of been 113 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: my hitting coach ever since I was, you know, five 114 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: six years old, and I think we kind of figured 115 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: some things out in my setup with my lower half, 116 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: just trying to use the ground a little bit better, 117 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: because early on I was kind of all over the 118 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: place and I didn't really have a good base. So 119 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we kind of we had a 120 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: couple of days to just grind some stuff out where 121 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: it was just me and him hitting on the field 122 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: for a couple hours, and you know, we could talk 123 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: through some things and field through some things. Where during 124 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: the season it's kind of hard to, you know, find 125 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: time in the day to really kind of grind it 126 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: out and lock things down when you know you got 127 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: to respect your teammates, time to hit in the cage 128 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: and everything too. 129 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 5: And what did we say, don't let the kid get hot? 130 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 4: Three ninety three over your last nine games, two seventy 131 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: with an eight to twelve ops over your last twenty 132 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 4: four of the streak. It's been kind of around for 133 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: a little bit of stretch, telling people like me, hey, 134 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: maybe I should shut up here and there you mentioned 135 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 4: it last night. I loved the postgame talking about not 136 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: feeling safe in everything. What sort of like that that 137 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: flipping the switch moment for you where you're you're able 138 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 4: to let it eat. How do you kind of just 139 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: let yourself let it go at the plate? 140 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, that's a that's a good question. I think 141 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: obviously I was. I was sick of grounding out the 142 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: second base over and over and over, and you know, 143 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: like I was a fungo hitter to the second or 144 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: first basement. So yeah, I think it was just kind 145 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: of like the result, the same result over and over 146 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: and over. And I was like, man, like I go 147 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: back and look at some old video and like just 148 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: to gathering load and everything, just it looked more like 149 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: I was playing in a backyard a whiftball game instead 150 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: of you know, trying to be so perfect and see 151 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: the ball and not chase and all these little things 152 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: that you know just can kind of get in your way. 153 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 7: So I think just going up to the plate just 154 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 7: being like, hey man, this is a. 155 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Backyard baseball game. Let's get after it. And you know, 156 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to chase if if you know, I'm 157 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: on time. 158 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 5: So it's just. 159 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: More just kind of letting it go, man.

Like I said, you got your 186 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 4: Player of the Week honors. How much did that help 187 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 4: with that mental mindset of you know, you had that 188 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: first half wasn't exactly what you wanted, but you're you're 189 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: you're contributing where you can with the team, and I 190 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: like that's that seems to be the mantra with a 191 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: lot of the players. 192 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 5: But what does this do for the mindset moving forward? 193 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 4: Putting that first half behind, knowing that the second half 194 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 4: going into October that's what's most important for this team. 195 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that was cool. 196 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: That's the first time that I've ever you know, gotten that, 197 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: and obviously it was only like three or four games, 198 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: but still the get a kind of recognition where you know, 199 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: there's there's a ton of really good players in this 200 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: league and obviously you don't get here if you're not good. 201 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, but but like you said, man, I think 202 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, our rosters is full of guys that just 203 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: want to win games and whatever it is, especially like 204 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the lineup. We've talked about like 205 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: we all know we got to be better, So it's 206 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: how can we contribute when even we're not hitting well, 207 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: Like whether it's moving a guy over with with less 208 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: than two outs, moving them over to third, making a 209 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: couple of plays on defense or taking a walk, crying 210 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: in a picture down, whatever it is. And you know, 211 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: I think we just we know what we have to do. 212 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: We got to get on base for the guys at 213 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 1: the top, and uh, you know, I think over the 214 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: last few weeks, I don't know what the numbers say, 215 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: but I feel like it's been it's been a lot better. 216 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 7: Than where it was in the first half. 217 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: So, uh, one through nine, when we're playing like that, 218 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: it's it's a really tough lineup to navigate through. 219 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: Can we get your uncle from Wisconsin to just move with. 220 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 3: You to La? 221 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 7: Oh? 222 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 5: Man, I. 223 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 7: Wish you could. 224 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: He's a he's a college baseball coach, so he's grinding 225 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: it out. But he keeps telling me he's only got 226 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years left doing it. And I'm like, man, 227 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: I got a room right over here for you. Man, 228 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: we can bullshit every single night about about the Advatts 229 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: if you want to come out here. 230 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean, god, I would love that. 231 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: That would be awesome. 232 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: How much of it though, Gavin is getting back to basics. 233 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you needed to go home to Wisconsin over 234 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 3: the break. You got to clear your head a little bit. 235 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: You get a little bit of time to just take 236 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: a breath. But it's like, you know what, there's a 237 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: reason that you were drafted where you were drafted. There's 238 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 3: a reason that the Dodgers wanted you and want to 239 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: continue to put faith into you. 240 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: How much of it is just getting back to what 241 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: got EI there to begin with? 242 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 7: A lot? 243 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: Honestly, Yeah, it's sometimes like you over complicate things so much, 244 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: especially when you're struggling. You go into the cage every 245 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: day and it's almost like you're looking for something that's 246 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: that's wrong in your swing, and it might just be like, hey, man, 247 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: like I just I swing. You had a pitch I 248 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't of or you know, I was my timing was 249 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: off or whatever it is. 250 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 7: So that's a great point. 251 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of times when when I think all 252 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: of us when we struggle, it's like we're searching and 253 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: looking for something that's wrong instead of you know, flipping 254 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: it and being like okay, like what did I do 255 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: right here? And and or was I even on time 256 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: swinging at the right pitch. So it's almost like a 257 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: curse having so much video sometimes where you can over 258 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: complicate things a ton, and you can always look for something, 259 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just there's nothing wrong in the first place, 260 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: and it's round ball, round bat, hard sport. 261 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 7: You know, it's yeah, one hundred percent. 262 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: I think definitely can over complicate things that a lot 263 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: of times, so simplifying is better. 264 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 4: Or how about this, there's a really really bad segue. 265 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: Maybe it's just knowing that down the road you got 266 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 4: Women's Night coming up and you got these bangers coming out, 267 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 4: Gavin Luxe walking out to Beyonce? 268 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: Is that gonna stick around?

So that's what she ended 277 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 7: up going with. It had a couple of hits, So 278 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 7: I don't know, but I don't I don't think I can. 279 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 7: I can keep that one throughout the whole year. Man. 280 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: I know it sounds like the silly question when you 281 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 3: get a first ballot Hall of Famer back into the 282 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: starting rotation, But how psyched are you guys that kursh 283 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: is coming back. 284 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 7: Oh, man, yeah, I think.

So that's just kind of the 328 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: approach I took with it and just trying to pour 329 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: into it and be consistent daily with my routine. 330 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: What do you think you've learned from Miggi and Muke 331 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 3: about just playing in the infield in general at this level? 332 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: And also what do you think you've taught them? 333 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Meggie's kind of sense when it 334 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: comes to midfield us. 335 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 7: He's like master splinter. So I think me and Mookie 336 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 7: had probably been almost. 337 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: Annoying to him, you know how much questions we ask 338 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: and and you know, just picking his brain. And it's 339 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: not even just like mechanical stuff, it's it's all right 340 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: in this situation. 341 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 7: What what do you think we should have done? Like 342 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 7: even last or two nights ago. 343 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: On double play ball, like kind of got caught on 344 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: my heels and had a soft flip to key Can 345 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: we didn't turn the double play and just picking his 346 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: brain like, hey man, should I tried to pivot there? 347 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: Like what do you think and just kind of like, 348 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, picking each other's brains, and you know, I 349 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: think he's helped a lot. And then more on the 350 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: mental side, like trying to figure out you need to 351 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: know if this ball's hit here before the you know, 352 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: the pitch even goes like, what am I gonna do 353 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: with this ball? 354 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 7: What do I need to do? 355 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: So he's helped a ton too, and and I think, 356 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, Mookie can say the same thing. 357 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 7: I'm sure. 358 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, Mickey rowan exceptional defender at shortstop. Mookie bets not 359 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 4: too bad himself. I know some folks in the chat 360 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 4: and wondering is there maybe a future at shortstop for 361 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 4: Gavin Lux. Is that something you're even thinking about right now, 362 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 4: you know, next season or something like that. 363 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 5: Are you just kind of trying to stay grounded in 364 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 5: the moment. 365 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think right now it's just buzz dominate second 366 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: base and and stick with our routine there and we 367 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: can worry about, you know, whatever happens in the future 368 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: later down the road. You know, I grew up playing shortstop, 369 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: so obviously you know I love playing there, But I mean, 370 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: really anywhere on the infield dirt. You know, if they 371 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: throw me there, I'm just gonna try to, you know, 372 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: make every play for these guys that are that are 373 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: throwing the ball. So but right now, it's just let's 374 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: dominate second base and worry about that you know later. 375 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: How's wedding planning coming? Are you participating at all? Or 376 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 3: is Molly doing it all? 377 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 2: I mean, let's be honest. 378 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 7: I have a little bit of say here and there, 379 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 7: but I'm letting her dominate it. And she's doing really well. 380 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: We actually just picked out a venue, so we got 381 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: that locked in at least. 382 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 7: But she's killing it. 383 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 5: Man. 384 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 7: I'm letting her do her thing on this.

Usually when 461 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 4: his game is wrong, it's between the ears and all 462 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: the talent is there. There's a reason this organization stuck 463 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: through with him. When he's hitting under two hundred for 464 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 4: a good stretch of the season. The talent is always there. 465 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 4: He's a good kid and just has had a crappy 466 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 4: time with injuries at inopportune times and all of this. 467 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: So you love to see him kind of, you know, 468 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: putting the pieces together and hopefully, hopefully it's not a 469 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 4: small sample size that keeps on trending, and we feel 470 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 4: proud that this guy is.

I mean, 475 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 3: he went from being the starting shortstop for the Los 476 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers to not being able to play, and he 477 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: was crushed about it, and obviously I wish him nothing 478 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: but the best.

That I've been worried about the starting pitching, 521 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: I've said that at nauseum. 522 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: I understand. 523 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: But take a look at what the Dodgers' rookies are 524 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 3: doing so far, Clint. The Dodgers are sixteen and eight 525 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: in games started by rookies this year, and those rookies 526 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 3: combined have an e are of just three point one zero. 527 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: And that was per yesterday's broadcast. So the Dodgers have 528 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: shown faith in these guys and they've delivered. I still 529 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 3: don't think this is the winning Formula forty five game series. 530 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 3: I still want your big guns in there. But in 531 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 3: the times that they've had, they have delivered. So let's 532 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 3: give them some props. 533 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, keeping in mind a couple of those rookies, 534 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 4: one being Yoshinobuyam Mooto, the other being Gavin Stone mixed 535 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 4: in there, but still justin Robuski's given this this team 536 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 4: some quality innings. River Ryan was exceptional in his debut. 537 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 4: Landon Nak has been great. I'm pretty sure he's going 538 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 4: to be the guy who is optioned as the team 539 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 4: gets back Tyler Glass now today. But that's where you 540 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 4: look at these guys. You look at these rookies and 541 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 4: you can kind of stomach the idea of, oh the 542 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 4: Dodgers just dfa their one lone healthy veteran. 543 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 5: That's been there for the entirety of a season. 544 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 4: Of course, that being James Paxton, which I could understand 545 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 4: kind of being somewhat of a surprise to someone but 546 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 4: not shocking to me. 547 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 5: Were you at all surprised by pack? 548 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that's fair. The braves are cooked. 549 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 3: I mean they definitely are decimated by injury. Yes, colossal jaguar. 550 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say shocked, but I was a little bit 551 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 3: surprised at the timing. I guess I understand it because obviously, 552 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 3: with Kershaw coming back, Tyler Glass now coming back. 553 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 2: You needed the space, right, you need the space and 554 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: the roster. 555 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: But I was thinking perhaps maybe you put Paxxton in 556 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 3: the bullpen to give them some length. He has been 557 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: the only consistent starter that has had health. I understand 558 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: that the record was eight and too, but I think 559 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 3: the reason the record was eight and two is because 560 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: of the run support that he's gotten his his era. Personally, 561 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 3: I think it was about four and a half. So, 562 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 3: I mean, he hasn't pitched brilliantly, but he has at 563 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 3: least been consistent. So again, I'm not completely shocked by it. 564 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: I guess I was a little surprised at the timing, 565 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: but it doesn't make sense. 566 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it comes with Hey, we mentioned Clayton Kershaw, 567 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 4: he comes back tomorrow. You do get Tyler Glasnow back today? 568 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 4: Some other guys coming back. You know, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, he's throwing. 569 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 5: A baseball walker. 570 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 4: Buehler back with the club after going visiting Cressey performance. 571 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: They feel a lot better about him now than they 572 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 4: felt then. Combined with these rookies that are performing well, 573 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 4: they I mean, they've earned opportunities at the big league level. 574 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 4: I think there's just not there wasn't enough room. There 575 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 4: weren't enough innings to go around for somebody like James 576 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 4: Paxton plus add in Trade Deadline, where Brandon Goms told 577 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 4: you earlier this week on your other. 578 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 5: Show MLB Network, There we Go. That's what it's called. 579 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 4: He had mentioned, you know, if they're getting anybody, they're 580 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 4: kind of looking more frontline starter type of guy, and 581 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 4: I don't think James Paxton fits that mold for this club. 582 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: I agree with you. I don't think he's a frontline starter. 583 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: And I've been saying that they definitely need to get 584 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 3: some front line starters, and they will if Buehler comes 585 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 3: back healthy and gets out of in between his ears 586 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: as well, and I think he did because he's he 587 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 3: has worked with Kressi, but he's been working with Kressi 588 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: since he was at Vanderbilt, so this is not something 589 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: that is new. So that'll be great to get him back. 590 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,239 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see what Clayton Kershaw does. I 591 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: love Tyler Glass now listen it goes. It's a very 592 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 3: different mindset. If you have Kersh, you have Glass. Now 593 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 3: you have Buehler back and healthy. Bobby Miller, if he 594 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 3: could get out of his own way in terms of 595 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 3: his confidence, I still think he has some great stuff obviously, 596 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: so let's not forget about Bobby Miller, who's with Oklahoma 597 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 3: City right now. So I feel confident and I still 598 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 3: believe that the Dodgers Andrew Friedman will go out Brandon 599 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 3: Gomes and they will get some some you know, key pieces. 600 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: I stand by my statement that you have if you 601 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 3: have foreclosers, you don't have a closer. 602 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 2: So I'd like I'd like to see a closer. 603 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 3: I keep hearing that people are it's heating up, that 604 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 3: we're gonna get Randy Ahrosarena. 605 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, Randy would could be coming to la. 606 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: It sounds like maybe the Crochet Luis Robert stuff is 607 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: kind of cooling down. And you know, we had mentioned 608 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: on our on our Monday show, we want we want 609 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: to talk trade deadline. We want people to give us 610 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 4: some trade deadline thoughts for them. I saw a question 611 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 4: from our friend Elisheva Jones asking what do the Dodgers 612 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 4: do regarding third base. Of course we've talked a lot 613 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 4: about this already, but it's some people feeling more and 614 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 4: more like Max Muntzky might not return this season. I'm 615 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 4: gonna remain positive that Max can get back. He's as 616 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 4: long as he comes back. Sometime in September. I think 617 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 4: he's got enough, you know, wiggle room to settle in 618 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: at the position and in the lineup. But if not, 619 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 4: I guess, you know, with the Cubs selling, there's somebody 620 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 4: like a Nico Horner that could be on the move. 621 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 4: You've of course mentioned Justin Turner, a lot of people 622 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 4: have mentioned Boba Schett. Not that any of those guys 623 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 4: are directly third baseman these days. 624 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 3: But I've got a name for you that I don't 625 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: know if people are gonna like, but I would like 626 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 3: it Alex Bregman. And I know, but you got to 627 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 3: get over the twenty seventeen situation on Alex Fregman is 628 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 3: not going to sign a long term deal with the 629 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 3: Houston Astros. If the Astros were going to do that, 630 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 3: they would have done it already. They signed jose Al 631 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: Tuve to a long term deal. Why don't you get 632 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: Alex Pragman If in fact Max isn't coming back, which 633 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: I still think that he is. Brandon gem said that 634 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 3: you know he's he's trending towards coming back. 635 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 4: So no, I mean, the Astros tied first place in 636 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 4: the Al West. 637 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 5: They got to a lead in the wild card area. 638 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: So so maybe they don't, you know, I get it. 639 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 3: I mean it's a lot different than a month ago 640 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: when they were eight games back and now they're tight. 641 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: So that's that's a fair point by you. 642 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 4: That's a fair maybe maybe off season and that I 643 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 4: think that's where this team is. I really do think 644 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 4: they like what they have internally. There's a reason we 645 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 4: haven't seen Mookie Betts not taking ground balls at shorts 646 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 4: or only taking ground balls at shortstop as he recovers 647 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 4: from this hand issue. There is a chance they do 648 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 4: plug him in at short and maybe McGain Rojas is 649 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 4: the backup option at third base. I think this is 650 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 4: something we might have talked about a little bit. If not, 651 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 4: I've talked about it on my channel very recently. But 652 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 4: if Gavin Lux keeps hitting, like I said on Monday, 653 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 4: that just keeps creating a really good problem for this 654 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 4: team to have. Where if Mooki is at shortstop, Miggi 655 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 4: Rowe has played an exceptional defense at third base before 656 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 4: up to and including saving a no hitter. 657 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 5: For Clayton Kershaw. So there are some internal options. 658 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 4: You'd like to see one more guy that's, with all 659 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: due respect, better than Cavin Bigio on the bench. I 660 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 4: really would be interested in maybe seeing them find a 661 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 4: bat slightly better than Keiki Hernandez. I tread into that 662 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 4: very likely because I know the love affair some people 663 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 4: have with Keiki Hernandez. But to have that one other 664 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: option off the bench is important. Don't think it's going 665 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 4: to be something big, you know. 666 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: I think having a deep bench is going to be 667 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: critical in the postseason. So I understand. 668 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I am one of those people that has 669 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: a love affair with Kiki her Nanz, but I also 670 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 3: remember what he has done for this team in massive 671 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 3: clutch moments. Here's an interesting thought non Dodgers, but worth 672 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 3: noting because it kind of has something to do with 673 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. John Hayman reporting that Alex Cora and the 674 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 3: Red Sox are in agreement on a three year seven 675 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: million plus per year, so over twenty one million for 676 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 3: Alex Cora. 677 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: Again, the respeculation that perhaps he was. 678 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: Going to be managing the Dodgers, which I think is 679 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: completely bullshit because Dave Roberts is a phenomenal manager. He 680 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: has you know, the highest winning percentage of you know, 681 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 3: active managers out there. So again we're going to the 682 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 3: postseason again, Like what else can Yes get out of 683 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: the first round? I get it, but Dave Roberts isn't 684 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 3: isn't going anywhere. By the way, We're not on tomorrow, 685 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: but we will be if something goes down. I mean, 686 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 3: we're obviously very serious about the trade deadline. If something 687 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: goes down, you and I will be back. Let's let's 688 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 3: get to Laslick's. 689 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 7: All right. 690 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: I want to. 691 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 2: Introduce you to Joy. 692 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 3: She's in southern California and this is an urgent need. 693 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 3: She's this sweet, sweet, sweet lab and pity mix. She's 694 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: excellent with other dogs, she's great kids. Unfortunately, her family 695 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 3: no longer wants her because there's some family marital issues 696 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 3: and the dad doesn't like her, so they were going 697 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: to take her to a shelter. I promise you if 698 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: this saw goes to a shelter, she will be euthanized, 699 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 3: partly because she's a mixed breed, partly because she's black, 700 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: and certainly because we have a lot of overcrowded shelter. 701 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 3: So she's in the southern California area. If you'd like 702 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 3: to give Joy a home. She is a wonderful pup 703 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 3: to no fault of her own. Her life is on 704 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 3: the line. Please reach out to me and or you 705 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 3: can check out Gidrey's guardian dot org for more info. 706 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: We appreciate that all right, Dodgers look good Clint in 707 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 3: the second half. Obviously, Taoscar Hernandez was not affected by 708 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 3: the home run derby, not at all. 709 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 5: I don't know how much more time we have left 710 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 5: on the show. 711 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 4: We could be talking for another hour and a half 712 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 4: about all this stuff with the team looking really good, 713 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 4: Taoscar Hernandez, the fact that he hasn't been extended yet. 714 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 4: Hopefully that gets done immediately after the trade deadline, because 715 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 4: I want to see that man in Dodger blue for 716 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 4: the rest of his career, or at least the next 717 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 4: four or five years. 718 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 5: The man deserves it. 719 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 4: But this is a this is a fun team and 720 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 4: the fact that we're talking about good news, positive news, 721 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 4: guys coming back, not just more and more injuries.
