WEBVTT - Dodgers trade for pitcher, will they need to trade for more? 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.000 However, have we ever heard of Andrew Freeman over pay 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:04.760 for a need? 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:16.280 That's just not what he does. 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.680 Hi, Hello, and welcome to the show. Everybody. My name 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.919 is Clint to see us. That lady right there is 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.840 Katie Wio. We do not have Alana with us today 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.760 or this week. She's getting a much needed vacation. But 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.440 don't worry. We'll hold the fort down for you as 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.880 best we can. A lot of stuff to talk about, 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.199 a little bit of a speed run. You guys see, 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.159 wu is not home. She's on the road. She's in Philly. 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.120 She's miserable. She's been on the road for sixteen months 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.320 I think at this point. But yeah, you said, morale's 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.199 a little low. Like what can we do? What can 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.040 the crowd here in the chat do to perky up 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:52.120 for a series in Philly? 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.520 I just think two things and I'll be fine. 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.200 We do a little Dodger talk, We recap what was 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.400 I thought was a really fun series in New York 0:00:59.400 --> 0:00:59.960 against Yankee. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.680 Has been a while since they did a split doubleheader, 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.800 so that was cool. And I'm going to get a 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.720 cheese stick at some point later. So like, really, we're 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:06.200 going to be fine. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.560 We're just a little tired today we're in the halfway point, 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.880 but we still prevail here at Dodge Territory. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.919 We grind, we grind. The important question how many chicken 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:16.720 tenders did we have? 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:18.120 All right? 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.679 I did six, but which is low? It's way lower 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.920 than I thought. But what happened from a calorie standpoint 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.240 over yesterday, it's twenty four hours, can never happen again. 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.200 Because the thing about the Yankee Stadium press box is 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.840 you can graze. You can graze, and I did a 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.640 lot of grazing. How to size the pizza? Had an 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.120 ice cream? I don't even like that big of an 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.680 ice cream girl, but I will be getting one here 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.960 at Philly because they have a legendary guy, Frankie. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:44.080 Two scoops in the press box. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.320 Just I left a lot to be desired because I 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.920 was distracted from the main goal. So we will try again. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.840 We will be better and hoping might clothes fit at 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:54.520 the end of this trip. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.480 Yeah, you got to lock in, don't work, you'll venture 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.720 to be home, you go on your LA hikes and 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.840 all that kind of stuff. But we got some news 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.160 to lead us off. The Dodgers have done that thing 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.360 they do where they fixed everything they traded for a picture, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.160 not anybody we were anticipating. Here we get Jack Harris 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.880 pointing out that the Dodgers have sent Oh well, I 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.160 guess teconically John Hayman was on it first. I think 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:17.680 it was Hayman who was on it first. It might 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.680 have been I think Joel Sherman who was on it first. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.639 But anyways, we're going here pointless for the credit part, 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.800 Seth hal Vorison, is that how we say this? The 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.720 Dodgers acquire a right handed flamethrower, somebody who could touch 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.280 one hundred and two miles an hour. I think he's 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.720 sitting about ninety eight ninety nine so far this year 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.880 they send over to the Rockies. I wouldn't say him battled, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.239 but one time, you know top pitching prospect Nick Frosso, 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.120 who just plainly has not bounced back from shoulder surgery 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.360 a couple of years ago. And this is one of 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.120 those moves, Katie, where it's like you could easily just 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.400 throw it away. But when the Dodgers identify something in somebody, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.960 you immediately think, is this the next will kliinb Is 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.840 this the next? I don't know, I mean you kind 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.800 of they kind of did that with Alex Vessio. They've 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.440 done it a lot. What do you like, if anything, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.960 about Seth hal Vorsen coming to the boys in Blue? 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.079 Yeah, this is the guy where there's some there's some familiarity, right, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.280 he's coming from Colorado. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.480 Josh Burns is there now. This is the guy who 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:17.720 was the. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.480 Rockies closer maybe two three years ago, so has some 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.760 recent experience in high leverage situations. But what really caught 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.000 my eye as we're, you know, speed running through this 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.040 guy on the way to the ballpark is the velo. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.560 And like you said, Clinneth, the Dodger sees something in 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.800 a picture that should be an alert for the rest 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.160 of the league because they, alongside the Milaukee Brewers and 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.640 the Tampa Bay Rays, are the three best at identifying 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.720 something with an arm that they believe can foster into 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.560 something even bigger. So you look at the one O 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.800 two bilo for the Dodgers, You're like, you know what, 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.960 I could fix that, and if we can't, we don't 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.840 lose too much out of our system. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.520 It is the textbook Andrew Freeman minor league trade. 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.400 So I don't know, keep an eye on for like 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.960 the Halberston Redemption Tour in September. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.680 Guy with good stuff. Let's see what the Dodgers can 0:03:58.680 --> 0:03:59.000 do with it. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.400 Yeah, and you see the numbers here on the screen 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.440 him at at Triple A this season in the ra 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:09.720 around two somebody that absolutely working with this, this coaching staff, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.120 Mark Pryor and the boys. They will find something and 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.400 if not, we don't need to ever talk about them again. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.600 But hopefully Nick Frosso gets an opportunity there in Colorado. 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.360 But again we don't need to spend a whole bunch 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.440 of time on it. Let's talk a bit about that 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.600 series against the Yankees. Talked about it yesterday at My 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.599 All Dodger Show. Is one of those ones that high level. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.120 It's a good series. You still leave with a bad 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.640 taste in your mouth, but you know, you lose a 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.640 night cap, Gastionism hits the Homer, which makes it worse 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.200 for everybody in their soul. But what'd you like? What 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.280 are the positive things that people should really take away 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.000 from that series? 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.920 Yeah, I'm with you there taking two or three from 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.040 the Yankees and the Bronx, that's a win no matter 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.920 what it's I think the way that the final game 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.039 of that split double header ended, though it's hard to 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.039 win two games in a. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:54.880 Split double header. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.359 For a bullpen game, you know, Evan Phillips still adjusting 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.960 to the major league environment. That's a real thing for 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.279 someone who has been out of the game rehabbing for 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.000 so long. You can't replicate a major league situation or 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.360 a major league environment in the minor leagues. You can 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.560 only try to replicate the stuff. So, all things considered, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.520 I was really not worried about the. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.160 Game two loss on Sunday. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.919 It was just kind of a bummer way to end 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.960 what was otherwise a stellar series. You look at the 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.800 starting pitching, Yamamoto going the distance. Game one, There's a 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.960 reason Dave Roberts put his ace, and that is because 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.440 he needed to save the bullpen as much as he could. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.720 Or Game two, well, Yamamoto said, I'll just. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.719 Save the whole thing. I'll do it myself. Didn't even 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.839 look tired, unreal, And then I know it's a little 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.560 past this. But on Friday, Roki Sasaki looked phenomenal. That 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:43.000 velo we saw three one hundred plus. Roki the entire 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.479 outing had his hardest pitches in the major leagues of 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.919 his career. If he can sustain that we're looking at 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.080 an entirely different outlook in the second half for Roki. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.279 So all in all, it's a great series. You hate 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.960 how it ended yesterday, but again one bad pitch from 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.880 Evan Phillips. Who's going to be consistent the more that 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.080 he gets back into the acclimating to the big leagues. 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.800 You have you have a moto Beinis Dad, and you 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.320 have Roki showing some real, real significant progress, Jake care 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.080 business against Philly, which I think is going to be 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.400 a much bigger test than the Yankees were, and roll 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:10.560 through the Mets and go from there. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.039 Yeah, I'm still I'm holding out hope that you know, 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.200 obviously is a lot of good from Roki. We need 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.000 to see it repeated. We need to see consistency out 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.280 of Roki and now more than ever. Don't worry. Yes, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.360 we are going to talk about a whole lot about 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.040 the show. Heyo Tani knee situation and him being sidelined 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.640 from the starting rotation, other things like in that series. Yeah, 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.480 most of the bullpen was pretty good. The fact that 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.200 the offense was able to eventually get to Garrett Cole, 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:41.080 Max Munty shout out, making Cam Schlitzler work, somebody who's 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.720 in the AlSi Young conversation. But somebody I really love 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.120 and I feel deserves a spotlight, and he's going to 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.760 be Today's In this week's fan duel Daily Dinger, we 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.640 got to talk about Tommy Edmund. He had himself a 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.080 nice little series there in New York four for nine 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.000 in the series We're gonna pop. We're gonna pop this 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.600 on the screen. We're gonna pop some Tommy Edmund love 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.559 on the screen. Tommy Edmond just overall has been better 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.000 than advertised for this team since coming off the IL 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.760 twenty five games, hitting three fifty five. You see it 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:17.520 there on the screen nine six ops, Katie. It appears 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.440 the difference in ankle makes is a lot for Tommy Edmund. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.000 But he has been an honest to God like true 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.200 difference maker or run producer for this team. Whether he's 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.080 hitting second, whether he's hitting ninth. I mean, I love 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.960 him in all the spots. If we could duplicate Tommy 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.960 Edmund right now, I think this team would be a 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.240 kind of an unmatched offense. You don't expect him to 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.480 keep this going, of course, but maybe he finds a way. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.520 Maybe actually having a healthy ankle goes a long way 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.120 for him. But I just wanted to make sure we 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.920 gave a shout where deserved to Tommy Edmund. Guy, you've 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.320 covered a lot over your career, and for the sake 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.760 of Daily Dingers, here somebody I'm watching in this Philly 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.280 series because again, he just seems to be locked in 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.400 quick words on Tommy before I tell people more about FanDuel. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.640 Yeah, I mean we're Tommy Edmond Truther's on this podcast. 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.440 I've been since twenty twenty one. He's just a ballplayer, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.760 and the Dodgers have so many superstars. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.560 But Tommy Edmund, you said it really well. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.760 Clint can plug into any area of the lineup and 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.280 produce whether he's hitting second, whether's hitting eight, whether's hitting nine, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.800 where he's playing left fields, second base, third base. He's 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.720 that textbook Swiss army knife that Andrew Freeman and the 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.000 Dodgers love, and he's doing it at this level of 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.800 production that we haven't seen yet in Los Angeles because 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.079 he's finally healthy. 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:35.400 Even when the Dodgers traded for. 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.679 Him in twenty four from Saint Louis, there was some 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.520 concern over that lingering ankle, but Tommy played through it, 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.520 got himself the bag, got himself a World Series championship, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.560 and then we saw what twenty twenty five was. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:46.720 It wasn't Tommy Edmand. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.560 He could go up there and produce, but not to 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.640 the level of being able to be such a stop 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.000 gap for this team. And that's ultimately why they traded 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.880 for him in the first place, because. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.319 He's able to get on base. He's able to hit 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:58.320 for slug when needed. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.000 He don't expect him hit pop you know, twenty five 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.920 bonds a year, but every now and then, like we 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:02.960 saw yesterday, he can. 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:03.680 Take one out of the park. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.960 I think Tommy Edman represents exactly what a true, like 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.840 high caliber playoff contending team needs. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.880 He's not going to blow you away on the stat line. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.560 He's not going to be the marquee player that you 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.520 see with banners at the stadium, but he's going to 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.679 do the little things that allow things and set things 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.160 up for the big guns to go in and produce. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.600 So all around, really nice to see Tommy Edmond back 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.200 and playing baseball healthy. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.439 Turns out that ankle surgery was a good idea. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.840 Yeah, already one point two Baseball Reference wins above replacement. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.319 Just twenty five games over the course of a full 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.720 season would be pretty impressive.

It's time 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:40.720 for blue balls. Maybe maybe lining up the words that 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.960 way wasn't the best way of doing it, but blue 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:47.040 balls is our segment. Those are the words that happened. Listen, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.920 it's live. Things happen live. But yeah, amongst the bad 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.960 news that made I guess we could say the weekend 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.040 a little bit worse, uh in our souls was show 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.400 Heo Tani he's going to be out of the starting 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.480 rotation indefinitely, saying he's going to miss this start in 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.400 Philly on Wednesday, and added that it's going to be 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.840 some time before he starts again. What can you tell us, Katie? 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.480 Okay, I'll preface this with the Dodgers don't seem to 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.600 be overly concerned. However, as a Dodgers fan, I understand 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.920 hearing that if you're a Dodgers fan hearing that saying 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.320 and being like, oh my gosh, he's done. Like I know, 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.080 the Dodgers really like to downplay their picture injuries. I 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.240 will say it makes sense where the team is right now, 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.439 both in the season and in the standings, where if 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.760 Shoeotani is not one hundred percent, don't pitch him. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.000 They have a really favorable schedule right now. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.560 They have an off down Thursday, another off dawn Monday, 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.880 and then I think one more right after the trade 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.200 deadline where they can still honor the six man rotation 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.560 without actually using six pitchers, which gives Otani more time 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.600 to rest that knee inflammation. So we're going to clarify 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.520 some things. We were told before the All Star break 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.439 that Showyotani was going to get a drainage. Is he 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.520 gonna get his knees drained? Dave Roberts claire by Friday 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.119 at Inky Stadium that he actually got a lubricant shot 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.480 and he went out to go throw a flat ground 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.520 on Friday, I believe, and didn't feel right and told 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.600 the traders, hey, you know, I'm still not feeling one 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.640 hundred percent. We know he feels this more when he's 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.840 pitching rather than hitting. It has something to do with 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.720 how he plants and lands after he finishes his delivery, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.960 and the training staff the Dodgers said, okay, why push it. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.480 We have the ability again with the schedule to navigate 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:27.000 the rotation. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.120 We can throw a bullpen game if we need it. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.400 The Dodgers needs show Heyo Tani in October, not in July, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.040 and they're eleven and a half game lead in the 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.000 NL West right now. Afford them some flexibility to take 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.840 a couple of days. They don't need to be gas, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.640 you know, on the floor, pedal to the metal at 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.640 this point on July twentieth, they need him for October. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.120 So if we need to not see Shoho Tani for 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.920 two to three weeks, ish in the rotation to ensure 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.760 that we have a better chance to seeing Shoeo tany 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:53.439 in October. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.840 I think everyone can understand that. Does it suck? 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.839 Of course we want to see Otani every week taking 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.480 them out. He's the unicorn, I get it. But the 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.040 Dodgers are really really good at being risk adverse and 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.480 doing that kind of load management. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.160 They can take advantage of us. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.760 Spot in their schedule right now where they have the 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.320 opportunity to work in more brest days and keep that 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.480 six man on schedule, still honor it while giving Otani 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.800 the time that he needs to recover one hundred percent. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.839 They're just simply airing on the side of caution. If 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.480 we get to middle of August and we're not seeing 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.480 any more progress with that knee, then maybe we have 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.880 a different conversation, but right now totally understand what the 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:25.760 organization is doing. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.840 Yeah. Again, it's a good thing to be proactive at 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.640 this point, and we've kind of been asking for calling 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.000 forward to different points over the course of the season. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.920 It's like, when do you give this guy a blow? 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.199 When do you give him a little bit of a 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.440 rest because having him be a two way player. Yeah, 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.520 I mean it's exciting to say, you know, full time 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.280 two way player all the way through one hundred and 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.520 sixty two games. But these are the Dodgers. We don't care. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.439 I'll say, we don't care about one sixty two and 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:56.040 breaking a Mariner's record for most wins and honestly, show 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.439 Hey Otani winning a Cy Young Award. They care about 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.160 winning eleven games in October and having show Hey be 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.000 at his best in October is the most important thing 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.840 for this organization. So nip it in the butt now. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.200 And it's worth noting that show has not been good 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.760 since first reporting that knee you had in your calling there, Katie, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.000 that I think he first reported a June tenth after that, 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.800 so he started a season five herd runs over his 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.200 first ten games after that, twelve earned over his next four. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.240 People want to say, maybe it's working with Dalton rushing. 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.000 It's not all that. When you can't plant on that 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.160 front leg, you're going to have a bad time. And 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.040 we saw it much there. But smart to deal with 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.000 this now one hundred percent because it was obviously like 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:44.840 really affecting him. There was I would like it Dave, 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.440 who had said a little bit better. He said, I 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.960 guess anything is possible. When asked is there any chance 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.560 he won't pitch again this season? Do you just think 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.600 that's probably Dave being cornered and saying words instead of 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:58.920 having a moment. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.400 Yeah, this point, I think it was maybe ten straight 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:02.760 minutes of Otani questions. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.320 And I think the last thing. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.280 I always try to be empathetic to managers because every 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:09.120 single thing that they. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.040 Say gets blown up. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.880 So I don't really think that the Dodgers at all. 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:13.760 In fact, I know because I. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.120 Went in and asked a couple of people behind the 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.600 scenes saying that this is going to be something where 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:17.920 we don't see Otani on the mound. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.400 I think that was just Dave say, you know, I'm going. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.920 To cover all bases here, you know, I guess maybe 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.800 he could have a stepback, but right now the Dodgers 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.680 aren't planning for it. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.520 They're just that was just Dave b and Dave and 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:28.720 the Dodgers right now. 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.120 Again, we saw Tonnie throwing off flat ground in between 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.360 games on Sunday with head trader Thomas Albert out there, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:35.480 Mark Pryor out there. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:36.600 So he's still throwing. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.800 It's just progressing to where he can feel like he's 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.360 one hundred percent. Again, you don't need a one hundred 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:41.840 percent show. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:42.720 Heyo Tani right. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.520 Now with a double digit lead in the division, and 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.480 when nobody knows that the Padres or dbacs are going 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.760 to get any better or worse at the trade deadline, 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.240 you need him in October. So let's just take a 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.960 collective inhale exhale, and hope that things are good in 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:55.560 a couple of weeks. 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.440 Pump the brakes a little bit for sure. Now all 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.200 of this. You know, you mentioned the calendar. Usually that's 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.960 something I end up looking at. I hadn't, you know, 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.040 I figured I'd go into you know, doom fire and 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.360 Brimstone and everything. Worst case scenario. Overreactions about this and 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.760 the state of the starting rotation, they can get away 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.400 with it for a couple of weeks, buying some more 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.280 time for Blake Snell to maybe make his return. We 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.080 know Tyler Glasow is moving doing some baseball activities, still 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.520 a little bit further behind, but still you look at 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.600 the state of the starting rotation and the next question 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.160 is really do they need to add to the starting 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.960 rotation depth at the trade deadline. That is what we're 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.240 going to get into next, but first we are going 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.200 to throw it to a break. Before we do the break, though, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.320 I want to point out Katie, we reach seventeen thousand 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.920 subscribers on the channel, means we're that much closer to 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.600 twenty thousand subscribers. So if you guys do want to 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.920 help us out subscribe to the channel here. That'll be 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.760 another thing that helps with Katie's road miseries right now. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.240 If we can get the twenty k before she gets 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.400 back home, well that would be impressive. But we would 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.360 appreciate it if you guys help us out there, and 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.960 we appreciate everybody who has subscribed so far. We will 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.640 be back. There's more to come, but first, the word 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.000 from our friends at foul. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.639 Territory, what if you can actually have it all, and 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:17.360 I'm talking about mint Mobile taking the premium wireless bouginess crats, 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.960 but then bringing it to the transparency in pricing and 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.440 the affordability in pricing.
