I think we knew going into it 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: we weren't going to be deep. We didn't have the 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: starters that the Potterys had. We didn't have the starters 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: that the Yankees had. 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to a brand new live 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: edition of Dodgers Territory.

I don't 21 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: think though, that Wan Soto is going to be in 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: pantone two ninety four Dodger Blue, nor should he, because 23 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: I just think that the price is too high, Clint, 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: from what you're hearing, what you're talking about in all 25 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: of your conversations, is that pull too deep? Is it 26 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: too much? As far as that is concerned, the Dodger's 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: not going to chase Sodo. 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think the Dodgers have kind of 29 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 5: made it not obvious. They've they've you'll never hear the 30 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 5: Dodgers actively say something about a free agent. Of course, however, 31 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 5: agents talk to people, YadA, YadA. 32 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 4: I don't see the Dodgers. 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 5: Going to the stratosphere that Juan Soto and Scott Boris 34 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 5: are looking for the report mets willing to go up 35 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 5: to six fifty six hundred and sixty million dollars to 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 5: add that onto the pile that they already owe to show. 37 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 5: Heyo Tani for the next decade, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie bets, 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 5: that's the nice freeman, Freddy Freeman for a few more years. Yeah, 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 5: they are going to be used in conversations, guys, and look, 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 5: I am not an insider. 41 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: We're not experts in this. 42 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 5: However, I speak Dodgers very well and I look at 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 5: reality pretty decently. The Dodgers are going to be used. 44 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 5: We're gonna hear about the Dodgers being in same we're 45 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 5: hearing with the Dodgers maybe being in on Corbin Burns. 46 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 5: The Dodgers are going to be used a lot this 47 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 5: offseason because they know teams know they want to run 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 5: it back. They got all the money in the world. 49 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 5: Allegedly they print money. I just don't see them going 50 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 5: to those highest, highest echelon free agents. 51 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 4: What do you think about the Sodo situation? 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the last I checked, he wasn't a 53 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: two way player, right, He's not show hey o Tani 54 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: two point zero? I mean, show hey is a two 55 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: way player. Show Heyo Tani is an international superstar. He 56 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: puts butts in seats. He's gonna make a lot of 57 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: money for the Guggenheim Group, and good for Guggenheim, right, 58 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: Like nobody gets into this business to lose money. They 59 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: put their money where their mouth is and show hey, 60 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Otani has already paid dividends. 61 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 6: One. 62 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: Soto is just not that guy. 63 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: I just don't think we need to spend that type 64 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: of dollar amount, that type of figure on you know, 65 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: just a right fielder or just a DH So my 66 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: point is I don't think they go for him. Think 67 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: I think we move on, right, Like Jen has even 68 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: said in the chat next and yeah, let's let's move on. 69 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: Let's talk about people that are actually Dodgers already. Right. So, 70 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: Bruce dark Graterol, it was announced that he had shoulder surgery, Clint, 71 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: He's going to be out at least the second half 72 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: until the second half of twenty twenty five. How does 73 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: this affect the way that they handle the bullpen this offseason? 74 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: You and I talked about people we would love to 75 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: see back. Blake Trinon is one of those guys that 76 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: you and I would love to see back with the 77 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers as far as free agents are concerned. 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: Does this make his role even more important knowing that 79 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: Bruce darr is not going to be available for a 80 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: big part of the year. 81 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Dave Roberts already had eluded on a 82 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 5: podcast with Mookie Betts earlier this offseason. One guy he 83 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: would like to have back is Blake Trenton. And I 84 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 5: think you know knowing now guaranteed we know Bruce dark 85 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 5: Graderol is not going to be available for at least 86 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 5: the first half of the season. You need to have 87 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: some arms in there so you're not, you know, killing people, 88 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 5: or we're not we're not having our pitcher's heads falling 89 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: off of their shoulders and all this kind of stuff. 90 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 5: You need some depth, you need some quality depth. Now 91 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 5: they could maybe backfill it with some guys currently already 92 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 5: in the organization, the minor league level, maybe a Ben 93 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 5: Consparius type that we saw this year. You know, I 94 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 5: don't know that that's a good role for a Brent 95 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 5: Honeywell or whatever. But you need you need some help. 96 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 5: You need, as I like to call him, grown up 97 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 5: help in this case, more at the back end of 98 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 5: the bullpen. Because they survived without Bruce dar and hats 99 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 5: off to him for pitching during the World Series with 100 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: a laboram issue. You know, the Dodgers absolutely needed him 101 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 5: because of all of the NonStop injuries they suffered through 102 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 5: this year. But it is, it is a big blow. 103 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 5: But the important thing is, we know, we hope our 104 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 5: fingers should be crossed that Bruce dar will be back 105 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: in time for the second half and for that always important, 106 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 5: more important postseason run. But again, yeah, big blow. 107 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: For the Dodgers. 108 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think too. I mean, he was just so 109 00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 3: plagued by injury. 110 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: I mean, he so many different things going on with him, 111 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: but obviously a shoulder surgery is a big deal. 112 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 3: So I think Blake. 113 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: Trynon that signing perhaps becomes even more important. I would 114 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 2: love to see Tanner Scott in the Dodgers' bullpen. I 115 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: think that would be a huge get for them. I 116 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: know he's gonna come with a pretty hefty price tag, 117 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: and I know you don't want to spend that type 118 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: of money likely on relievers because they make you rip 119 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: out your hair at night. I understand you don't think 120 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: still that this means a Joe Kelly reunion. 121 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: Do you think the ship has sailed with the Dodgers 122 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 3: and Joe Kelly? 123 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: You know what? 124 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 5: That's perfect as I was going to go there, look 125 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 5: at that synergy going on right here, Alana, you're in 126 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 5: my time, you know time what they call that timecode 127 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 5: or that whatever. 128 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: I'm in La. 129 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: I'm in La. 130 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 4: What's up West Coast? 131 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 5: And now we're thinking right there along the same line, Seah. 132 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 5: I think if they're prior to learning about this, I was, 133 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 5: you know, this injury, this surgery, I would have said. 134 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: It's almost a foregone conclusion. 135 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 5: That Joe Kelly's not coming back, but now no that 136 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 5: he's older, he probably wants to stay close to home, 137 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: close to his family. He's building this you know, crazy 138 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 5: mega mansion out there and in Riverside with his wife, 139 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 5: or and the ie with the wife and and the 140 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 5: you know, the litter of kids they got going on there. 141 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 5: So maybe he does take a team friendly deal to 142 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 5: stay in La run it back one more time. Was 143 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 5: not a major factor for the team this year, so 144 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: maybe he can do something like we saw not so 145 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 5: much Dan Hudson, but like what we saw Blake trying 146 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 5: to do with the Dodgers last year. 147 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: Take an extremely team. 148 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 5: Friendly deal, but something to stay close to La, stay home, 149 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 5: kind of pay back the team for the investment, and 150 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 5: you know, try to run it back. So Joe Kelly 151 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 5: very much could be back in play. In my opinion chat, 152 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: what do you guys think is this is Joe Kelly situation? 153 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 5: BC says, we got some buffering, will go to me 154 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 5: for now. That's probably the smart play. While I'm doing this, 155 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 5: let's see Army chow Mayne, great name, by the way, 156 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 5: says asking Dodgers were one of twenty teams scouting Doe 157 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 5: Young Kim the past week. 158 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: Okay, were the Dodgers. I have no idea. I did 159 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 4: not look into that. 160 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 5: But however, there is a chance that the Dodgers are 161 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 5: in on literally everybody at all times. So if there 162 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 5: is a player that is good, that is a potential 163 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 5: signing that Dodgers are one hundred percent going to be 164 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 5: in on that player in some way, shape or form. 165 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 5: Because it's live, we'll have Mark Pryor joining us again 166 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 5: in a little bit. Richie Flores in the chat saying 167 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 5: Alana is frozen in time ghosts bear a great comment 168 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: here Dodgers territory brought to you by Netflix. Hey, hey, 169 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 5: I'm not Mike Tyson, but I'll do whatever for twenty 170 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 5: million dollars. I'll say that much right there.

You know, I don't really want to get too 310 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 6: far down the line. You know. 311 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: Walker has mentioned his previous relief appearances hadn't gone so 312 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: well so he's He's mentioned that numerous times over a 313 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: number of years that that was not something where he 314 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: wanted to be. But given the state of let's be honest. 315 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: You know where we were at with our pitching staff 316 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: as a whole. You know, we were basically three starters 317 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: through the playoffs with a couple of bult guys here there. 318 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 6: Our bullpen was. 319 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: Shifting from series to series with injuries and guys getting 320 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: healthy and and not really knowing how you know, who 321 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: we were going to have kind of between you know, 322 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: Vessie getting hurt and then Phillip's getting hurt running a 323 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: bullpen game, you know, in that fourth game, and then 324 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: turning around and unfortunately Jack couldn't get very far, so 325 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: we didn't have many options. And and so you know, 326 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: Walker had started to slowly, surely, slowly starting to feel 327 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: better and recovering quicker as we got into September and 328 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: into October. So that was starting to be a good sign. 329 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: And he woke up and he felt great that day, 330 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: and I think he as he's talked about. He mentioned 331 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: it to our front office. 332 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 6: First. 333 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about it, honestly until the fifth 334 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: or sixth inning, until I got a tap on my 335 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: shoulder it said, hey, Walker's you know, walking to the bullpen, 336 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: and I just kind of chuckled because I didn't really 337 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: think I didn't still didn't think there that that was 338 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: an option, if even then it was less than five percent. 339 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: But as the game unfolded, you know we were gonna 340 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: be running then on pitching, and Blake stepped up with 341 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: another you know, unbelievable heroic outing for him and really 342 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: picked us up and got us in a position where 343 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: we could strike. 344 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 6: And Walker happened to be the back guy. And I 345 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 6: think it's fitting given you. 346 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Know, what he's done as a Dodger, what he'd been 347 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: through over the last couple of years, and specifically what 348 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: he'd been through this year, all the ups and down, 349 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: and to be able to go out there and absolutely 350 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: just carve, you know, for fifteen sixteen pitches and close 351 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: it out. 352 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 6: I mean it's you. 353 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: Know Freddy talked about that's the thing you dream of 354 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: of being in the backyard. Well, if you're on the 355 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: pitching side, those are the things you dream of in 356 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: the backyard as well. 357 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 358 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 5: I mean a lot of heroes in that World Series run, 359 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 5: whether it be Walker stepping up, you know, doing his 360 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: best kind of Kershaw impression, unexpectedly going in relief, Brent 361 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 5: Honeywell doing what he did on the bump, you know, 362 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 5: Ben Casparius, kind of being somebody you know, nobody really 363 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 5: knew a whole lot about, but still pitching some big 364 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 5: time moments. How important is that to kind of have 365 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 5: you get into the World Series, you get into the postseason, 366 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 5: the roles. 367 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 4: Don't mean anything anymore. 368 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 5: Just go out there, get some meaningful outs. What does 369 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 5: that mean for that group and for the organization to 370 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 5: see so many dudes in this case, with all the injuries, 371 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 5: sometimes kind of very random dudes stepping up and putting 372 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 5: together big moments that aultimately lead to you know, World 373 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 5: Series trophy in twenty four. 374 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, I think. 375 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: It just reiterates that there is never a blueprint for this. 376 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: We've seen teams do it, you know, with their bullpens. 377 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: We've seen teams do it with their starters, And I think, 378 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: honestly it just really confirmed that playoffs is so much 379 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,239 Speaker 1: of it. 380 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 6: As you think it's something's. 381 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: Gonna happen or go one way going into it, and 382 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: you got to be able to be nimble and adapt 383 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: going through it. I think we knew going into it 384 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: we weren't going to be deep. We didn't have the 385 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: starters that the potteries had. We didn't have the starters 386 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: that the Yankees had, and so we knew that we 387 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: were going to be relying a lot on our bullpen, 388 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: kind of a surplus of bullpen from a standpoint of carrying, 389 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: you know, ten guys on there and knowing that they 390 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: all had various roles but could do anything from a 391 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: short outing to a little bit longer outing, and so 392 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: and then again, as we talked about earlier, as we 393 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: had guys, you know, Vestia goes down, Phillips goes down. 394 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: Late in the next series, you know, we're adding guys 395 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: left and right. You know, we put two guys on 396 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: the on the roster from the beginning, and Enriquez and Conspirac, 397 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: who really had a whole lot of pitch, more you 398 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: know than a handful of innings. 399 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 6: And a couple of those guys. 400 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: Were in low A or high A ball earlier in 401 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: the year. So but they came in and provided impact 402 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: and picked up some big outs. And so I think 403 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: it was just a testament to, you know, kind of 404 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: their brotherhood, the way that they pulled together. 405 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 6: I know they're the dogs. 406 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: As they like to to to refer to themselves at 407 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: but Honestly, I think it was just our staff as 408 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: a whole. Everybody knew that for us to win, you know, 409 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: we had to pitch together as a team, We had 410 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: to pick each other up. We understood going in we 411 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: were gonna take some games where they were going to 412 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: be lopsided, and being okay with that because we knew 413 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: that was going to help us win the series. 414 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 6: Uh. 415 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day was how can 416 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: we just give our offense a chance each and every night. 417 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: You know, it might not be early, but it might 418 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: be middle, it might be late, but we've given the 419 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: guys that we have in our lineup. Those guys just 420 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: knew we just got to give our offense enough time 421 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: to put some points on the board, and they did 422 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: that tremendously for those eleven wins. 423 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: Such an unbelievably self lessed team. I mean, really playing. 424 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 2: I know that it's cliche, but playing, you know, for 425 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: the name on the front of the jersey, not the 426 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 2: name on the back of the jersey. How two part 427 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: question for you, Mark, how close were you guys, if 428 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: at all, to having show hey pitch in game five 429 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 2: or six or seven if necessary? 430 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: And zero? 431 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough? We just want to get that out there, 432 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 3: all right, Yeah, the six man rotation. 433 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: Obviously you have Shohei Otana, you have Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Obviously 434 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: it would be nice to have Roki Sasaki in this rotation. 435 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: But even if you don't get Susaki, okay I don't 436 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: expect you to speculate on free agent signings. What is 437 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: your thought about a six man rotation and do you 438 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: think that's more of the game moving forward as far 439 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: as the future of every. 440 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: Staff, Well, I mean that's that's kind of a loaded question. 441 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 6: The first one was easy. That was very, very simple. 442 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: You know, six man rotations can be good. I mean, 443 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: we set out to do that this year. Obviously, with 444 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: Yamamoto and his familiarity with the way he was pitching 445 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: in Japan, that was, you know, a kind of a 446 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: number one priority goal of ours, like, let's get him 447 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, pitching once a week or at the very 448 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: least five days rest and pitching on that sixth day. 449 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 6: We had Paxton. 450 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, you know who we understood had 451 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: it kind of fatigued down the stretch the previous year, 452 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: so we kind of wanted to give him some extra 453 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: extra rest days in there as well as Tyler Glass. Now, 454 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, we knew we could probably lean on him 455 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: a little bit, but we knew that we needed to 456 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: get him rest at the same time. So it was 457 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: something that we had set out to do. 458 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 6: It's not the easiest thing to do. 459 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: You run into you know, days off, you run into 460 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: guys sometimes getting seven or eight days off. 461 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 6: You might have to skip a guy. 462 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: So, uh, there's a lot of there's a lot of 463 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: nuanced parts of it. I think the I think it's doable. 464 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: The biggest issue is do you have enough depth to 465 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: be able to do that, because if one guy goes down, 466 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: what is the cascading effect down to chain, Like, are 467 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: you gonna have to everybody all of a sudden pitch 468 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: on regular arrest when they haven't been doing it for 469 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a month or two months. Do you 470 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: have guys that are big league ready in Triple A 471 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: to come up and be able to do things. So 472 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 1: it's it's something that takes a lot of planning in 473 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: the moment, you know, from day to day and making 474 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: sure everybody is on on the same page on when 475 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: they're going to pitch. But it takes a lot of 476 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: planning obviously too, from your front office roster construction and 477 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: making sure that you have that depth to fill because 478 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: you're going to run into a stretch, you know, where 479 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: there's gonna be fifteen to eighteen games in a row, 480 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: and can you do a six man rotation all the 481 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: way through that or do you need to spot and 482 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: drop guys in. So whether or not it's the way 483 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: it's going, I think the other thing too is if 484 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: you're going to do that, we might have the advantage 485 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: a little bit with Showhy not counting against us as 486 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: a pitcher. But if you're going to do that, they 487 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: definitely need to probably go deeper into games because you're 488 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: probably gonna be carrying one less reliever in your bullpen 489 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: and be able to pick up any So there's a 490 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: lot of factors to it. I think there's some pros 491 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: and cons to it, but I probably think it's it's 492 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: maybe trending that way a little bit, but I'm not 493 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: quite sure it's completely sustainable yet in the way that 494 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: especially if they start trying to reduce pictures on rosters again. 495 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 5: You know what, we'll call it the best laid plans 496 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: of mice and men. The hope is you can get there. 497 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 5: The hope was kind of there at the start of 498 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 5: this year, but hey, we all just witnessed this season. 499 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 5: Ultimately everything turned out well, but my god, the injuries. 500 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 5: You guys had to have been worried. Who somebody upset 501 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 5: somewhere along the way because the baseball gods were not 502 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 5: happy with the Los Angeles Dodgers this year. 503 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: Another one to put you slightly on the spot. 504 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 5: Answer it to the best of your ability without getting 505 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 5: a call from Andrew Freeman or Mark Walter, Lon Rosen 506 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 5: or whoever. But a couple of months back, Andrew Friedman 507 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 5: was asked about, you know, the rash of pitcher injuries 508 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 5: is not limited to the Dodgers, but he said in 509 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 5: that his quote was, you know, we're going to look 510 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 5: into it. We're gonna kind of look at and investigate 511 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 5: what our you know, our pitching plan is, how we're 512 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 5: bringing guys up through the system. What sort of steps 513 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 5: do you even do to assess where these the rash 514 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 5: of injuries are coming from? Again league wide, But where 515 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 5: do you start and what kind of steps are you 516 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 5: guys taking if you can speak to that at all. 517 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a question that's I think 518 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: on everybody's mind, specifically if you're in the pitching, you know, game, 519 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: it's not something that won, it's it's it's an emotional thing. 520 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 6: I mean, you never want. 521 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: To see anybody get hurt. Clearly I have had personal 522 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: experiences of what that can do. Obviously due to an individual, 523 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: but how there is an effect on the rest of 524 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: the team. And that's mean these guys have to pick 525 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: up more innings, and then it becomes a little bit 526 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: of a domino effect because now you're asking sometimes for 527 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: other pitchers to do things that they're not quite ready. 528 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: So there is every as much as we talk about 529 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: everybody in baseball being an individual and a team game, 530 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of connections of how guys relate to 531 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: each other because of what they do. You know, starters 532 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: go deep, they give the bullpen arrest. Starters don't go 533 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: get deep. You know, the bullpen's going to pick up more. 534 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: So it's kind of ebbs and flows through the course 535 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: of the season. And as far as the injury is concerned, 536 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: it's it's very difficult. I mean we're talking injuries have 537 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: been around for you know, a long time. I mean 538 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: even back in when I was playing in the early 539 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: two thousands, you know, you know, we were dealing with injuries. 540 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: I was dealing with injuries. Teams were dealing with injuries. 541 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: And we've advanced so much in modern medicine and recovery, 542 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: and we're still seeing, you know, an exponential growth in injuries. 543 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: And where is it coming from. It's hard to pinpoint 544 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: because everybody's different, you know, Are we going to start 545 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: saying that velocity is the number one culprit. I'm sure 546 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: there's up some variables that for certain guys that is 547 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: an issue, but clearly velocity plays in this game, and 548 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: it's very important. How much of it is, you know, 549 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: some of the scheduling, how much of it is now 550 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: that we are pitching on six days rest? 551 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 6: Are we all? 552 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: Are we guys throwing more with more high intensity throws 553 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: more often than they had in the past when they 554 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: were pitching every on regular rest or every you know, 555 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: fifth day and they were taking you know, maybe a 556 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: little bit of a break in between, versus not feeling 557 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: as fresh and as frisky. 558 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 6: Are we not? 559 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: Are we pitching guys too? Are we detraining guys and 560 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: not pitching them enough? You know, you know who knows. 561 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: Like the bottom line is is there's never one answer 562 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: for one person. And then there's obviously before they even 563 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: even get into pro ball, there's a lot of it 564 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: at the amateur level. How much of these guys have 565 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: been doing have injuries before they even got to pro ball, 566 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: and then they get put into the pressure cooker of 567 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: professional baseball throwing every single day. How much of that 568 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: is just exposing pre existing things that people will unaware 569 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: of as far as what we're doing to it. 570 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 6: We're probably going. 571 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: To get together after Thanksgiving as a group, you know, 572 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: top to bottom, and start having these conversations and trying 573 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: to find out if there is anything that is common 574 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: with the way we've been developing guys at the minor 575 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: league levels and continuing through the big league levels. Is 576 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: it something in our training, is it something in you know, 577 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: the types of pitches that we want to throw, and 578 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: trying to see if we can find any common ground, 579 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: because I think the one thing is if you can 580 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: find something common, then I think there's something actionable. What 581 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't think is actionable is is basically what I 582 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: just did is throw out all these theories that are 583 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: out there, but they're all unproven, and again it might 584 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: not be. What hurt me doesn't necessarily mean is going 585 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: to hurt you know, player B and C and D. 586 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: And I think that's the really the hard part is 587 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: everybody has their own personal history. Everybody has the way 588 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: their body moves and the way they've trained is a coincidence, 589 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: probably not, But it's still trying to find what is 590 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: the actual common themes and then being able to act 591 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: on them and move forward in a very smart way, 592 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: not just kind of like a reactionary way. 593 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 2: Certainly not one specific answer to all of the reasons. 594 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 2: But mark for somebody that had their career shortened by injuries, 595 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: which it bums me out because you were so much 596 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: fun to watch. 597 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: How do you make sure. 598 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: That you work with a guy like a Tyler Glasnow 599 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 2: or anyone trying to get back from injury, that they 600 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: don't come back too quickly to further exacerbate the situation 601 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 2: to keep him out even longer. 602 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 6: Yeah tough, I mean it really is tough. 603 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, they're not 604 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: here if they weren't elite competitors, and competitors want to 605 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: be on the field. They don't want to be you 606 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: know on the sidelines, they. 607 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 6: Don't want to be rehabited. 608 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we have obviously one of the premier competitors 609 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: in this generation or multiple generations now at this point 610 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: in Kershaw, and we saw what he was trying to 611 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: do with his toe. He was just trying to get 612 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: back out there. So those are hard conversations because you 613 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: want to got to push, you want to got to 614 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: get back. You know he can help the team, you 615 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: know he wants to do it. And then the same 616 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: at the same front, you're also trying to be like, hey, 617 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: let's be smart because we do have time. A lot 618 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: of times we do have more time than we think. 619 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: We all feel that we are under a microscope when 620 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: we're trying to get a guy back and the players like, 621 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: I need to get back, and you realize, you know, 622 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: what's five days, what's ten more days? Sometimes at the 623 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: course of a season, knowing that that that can pay 624 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: dividends in September and October. So those are hard conversations 625 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: because there's not an answer to them, and you've got 626 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: to be able to like read the person, read the personality. 627 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: You got to listen to the medical people's opinion on 628 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: if this is too fast or too slow. And again 629 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: it goes back to everybody's different and how they're able 630 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: to heal. 631 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 6: Everybody's different on. 632 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: Able how they're able to handle maybe some discomfort and 633 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: push through it and be fine, and other people can't, 634 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, don't handle the discomfort as well, and they 635 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't push through it because you're going to create other 636 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: issues and you know, compensation patterns and stuff like that. 637 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: So it again, it's it's really difficult with these guys 638 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: because as I was, you know, we all are played 639 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: this game. We all want to be out there, and 640 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: nobody wants to sit there and watch your teammates go 641 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: out there and perform. It's fine for a week or two, 642 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: but when you've been sitting around for a while, you 643 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: want to get out there. So speaking of Glass now, 644 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he did everything he could to try to 645 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: get out there and be the best version of himself 646 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: for us, but at the end it just didn't make 647 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: sense for him. And then I think then we were 648 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: talking about long term issues and I think that's where 649 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: ultimately usually is where the hammer gets thrown down, is 650 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: when your body's telling you, like this is going to 651 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: be something that could be very serious and long term 652 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: and not short term, and that's usually what ultimately will 653 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: make those decisions for everybody. 654 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 5: As as we're sitting here right now, if you don't 655 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 5: mind expanding on that, do we are we at a 656 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 5: point where the organization feels solid, Tyler feels solid that 657 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 5: he should be full go for spring training. 658 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, we do. 659 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean he started throwing a little bit right after 660 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: the World Series, started playing some catch. He went on 661 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 1: a vacation and when he gets back here, he's going 662 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: to continue his throwing program, should have a normal off season. 663 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: That's the plan right now, is to build up is 664 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: throwing in his workouts and then jump on the mount 665 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: right after the first of the year and start ramping 666 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: up for spring training so that we feel good about 667 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: where he's at right now. 668 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 6: He feels good about it. 669 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: He was feeling good through the playoffs, but obviously there 670 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: was no reason to throw at the time. 671 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 6: But feel good about where he's at right now. 672 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: All right, last good news. 673 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: And you're going to have a show, hey Otani. And 674 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 2: that rotation too, by the way, does that? I mean, 675 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: how excited are you about that? I mean that's got 676 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 2: to be something just watching the way the guy goes 677 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: about his business. I mean, that's incredible. But to get 678 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 2: him as a weapon in your rotation, that's got to 679 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: make any pitching coach feel pretty good. 680 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 6: Yeah. 681 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: No, I think we're all excited. 682 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 6: You know. 683 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: It's it was pretty remarkable to see what he did 684 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: this year and obviously hurt himself at the end was 685 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: not ideal, but. 686 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 6: And so then might delay him a little bit. 687 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: So we'll just kind of have to see how that 688 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: rehab goes and how that affects kind of his throwing 689 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: program building up. 690 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, look, this guy's I mean, the 691 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 6: guy's just special. 692 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean there's really no way of the way to 693 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: put it what he did on the field this year, 694 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: trying to rehab from Tommy John and then go out 695 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: there and put on the display that he did offensively 696 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: and run in the basis it was incredible. And then 697 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: he'd you know, go right back at it the next 698 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: day and do everything he had to do for his 699 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: for his arm throwing program eventually got on the mounds. 700 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: But to be able to compartmentalize is incredible.

Never once did you seem like this was, 715 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, a burden or a stress. He just looked 716 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: like he was out there and enjoyed being part part 717 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: of one good team, a great team. 718 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 719 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe fifty home runs, maybe fifty stolen bases, maybe 720 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: twenty wins for show.

This is a 732 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: very rough story. So Liberty was at the divorce shelter 733 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: here in California, and unfortunately they took her puppies away 734 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: from her at just two months old. The puppies were 735 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: exposed to parvo, but the shelter didn't bother to confirm 736 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 2: that they had parvo, so they took her puppies and 737 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: killed her puppies. Anyway, she was thirty minutes away from 738 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 2: being euthanized herself. Gudriy's Guardian and Healinghound's Rescue were able 739 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: to come together on a plan. Liberty was saved thirty 740 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 2: minutes from being euthanized. She is parvo negative, she is healthy. 741 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 2: She is very sad. 742 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 3: Though she's continuing to look around for her puppies. But 743 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 3: she's going to decompress and we're going. 744 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 2: To get her a foster home, and we're going to 745 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 2: get her healthy and happy and you know, giving her 746 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 2: the best life that she should have. So if you 747 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 2: are interested in adopting Liberty and she is ready in 748 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: a couple of months, please reach out Gidri's Guardian dot 749 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 2: org or you can hit us up on our socials. 750 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 2: We appreciate that very much.
