1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: There is some kill Bill Sizzar there. Ryan Seacris with you. Yeah,

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: tonight Dodger Stadium, tonight home opener. We're talking about the

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: foods of Greek fries are like on the new menu

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: list would sound fantastic. They've also got the new barbecue platter,

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: a chicken pesto panini as a new lighting system too

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: righter than the old one. And there's a pitch clock.

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: There is a pitch clock. Now beat up the game

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Time for Dodger four. Let me bring

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: in David basset here a and five seventy LA Sports

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: and os and the Dodger Talk podcast, and I hear

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: radio David Good, Dodger morning. How are you hey? Great

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: to be with you, Ryan, I'm gonna I know that

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: their purists have their take on this new pitch clock,

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: but I am a an efficiency advocate. I like pace.

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: I know it's it's I guess Baseball's note for it's

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: sort of not having a real clock ending and having

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: organic ending. But this pitch clock, are you prow or against?

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: I am very much for the pitch clock, Ryan, And

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: with this new Dungeons and Dragons movie out there, I

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: liken it to the analytical nerds of baseball that basically

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: got the cheat code to baseball the last ten fifteen years.

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Congratulations to them. But they made the game less entertaining

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: and games were going on for over three hours because

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: they want their pitchers to rear back and gather themselves

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: and throw it as hard as they can. They want

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: their hitters to take as many pitches as possible. So

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: for me, this is baseball's response to those guys getting

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: the cheat code to the game. Understood. I like it.

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's essentially the pitches just have to get

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: off in a more timely manner. But the game will

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: still end when the game ends, right, right, because you

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: can go into like multiple innings still right, Yeah, extra innings.

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: The pitch clock will still be there, so if there's

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: a tie score, it could go for four hours and

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: eighteen innings. We hope there aren't too many of those

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium. But I will say this, in spring

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: training already, the games are thirty minutes shorter than what

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: they were in spring training a year ago. Now that's

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: a good sign. Have you Is the new pitch clock

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: throwing off the players in any way? Or is it

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: helping well, I've talked to Clayton Kershaw at the beginning

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: of spring training when he first experienced it, and he

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: said it was somewhat distracting, right because he was focusing

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: on the clock just as much as he was focusing

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: on throwing a strike to they hit her. So it

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: took some adjustment for both the pitchers and the hitters

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: to not stare at the clock. But hey, there's one

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: hundred mile fastball coming right at me, I better pay

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: attention to that. I mean, it makes sense that it's

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: going to take a little time to have to be

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: second nature because it's just this new component that's weighing

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: on them. Yeah, no doubt. And honestly, Ryan, I felt

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: like the hitters are the ones that are adjusting more

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: than the pictures because part of the pitch clock component

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: is the hitters have to be in the batter's box

56
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: when the clock is down the eight seconds and alert

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: and ready to hit. And I've seen a lot of

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: strikes called on hitters that weren't ready to go, and

59
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: I feel like they are rushing they hit more than

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: the pitchers are rushing the pitch. That is commission to watch. Well,

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: David am five seventy LA Sports Dodger Talk podcast. All right,

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: what are you guys saying off air about this team

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: this year and their chances? Oh? Ryan, I know gambling

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: is big now these days, so I will give you

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: my tip for the Dodgers, the over under on win

66
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: ninety two and a half. And I feel like it's

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: going down to the final two weeks between them and

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: our little brother to the south, San Diego Padres. We're

69
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna hold this tape. We'll see how accurate you are.

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: What the tape in September seacrests, No problem, Dave, Thanks

71
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: for coming on, brother, have a great season. Thank you

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: for having me. Guys, enjoy it, Take care, bye bye.

73
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm an advocate of the pitchclock. It

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: moves things along. I mean a game of two and

75
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: a half hours versus three oh something that's like something

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: you can fit into life. That's interesting that he says

77
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: that it's actually affecting the hitters more though, because you

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: can see that pressure that they have now like eight seconds. Yeah,

79
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Our bbox is at the will Turn

80
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: June thirtieth. Tickets are next
