Every day of. 3 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Looks like a sunny day in Los Angeles. It might 4 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: not be, but it always seems to be there. And 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: according to that graphic, it is sonny in LA. Apparently 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: it's always sunny in Philadelphia as well.

So let's do it please this week, please, please, please, 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: let's get into the big ticket lots to talk about 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: New York, New York. Clint, you had said that you 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: were playing the opposite game, kind of like George Costanza 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: does on Seinfeld. He just does everything the opposite of 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: what he should do on It turns out, okay, what 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: do you mean by that? 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Listen, every once in a while, you got to do 20 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: what you can as a fan to help your team win. 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: And I said all of the things wrong that the 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: Dodgers were going to do this weekend against the Yankees. 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm worried about the land and next start, 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm worried about the Tony Gonslin start, especially against Max Freed, 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: who has been phenomenal in that Yankees uniform. And then 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: you know yoshiob Yamamoto, my Cy Young Award front runner. 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: He was going to you know, mop the floor with 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: the Yankees. All of that was wrong. So I don't 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: know a damn thing anymore about Dodger Baseball. But we 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: take the series win, and that's the most important thing. 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: I don't know that we just took it. I think 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: we really really grasped onto it and held on tightly. 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: I tell you what. Sunday, I get up and I 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: didn't see the entire game on Saturday because I was 35 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: at Gillette Stadium at Luke Holmb's and post malone or 36 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: not Luke Comb's post malone and jelly roll. So I 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: was like eighteen to two. Goodness gracious. So then I 38 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: immediately the host of Pinstripe Territory that would be Derek Lewandowski, 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: who does a great job covering the Yankees on this 40 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: foul Territory platform, and you were actually on his show 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: prior to the Dodger Yankee series starting, and you had 42 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: said there that you were worried about Nac and you 43 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: were worried about Gonsolin, and you were not worried about Yama. 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 2: And I texted Lewandowski and I said, you owe me 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: one hundred bucks for the Didre's Guardian Foundation because we 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: bet just straight up series win. And I already was 47 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: able to know that on Saturday they did a really 48 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: really good job. Obviously Sunday you would have liked to 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: have seen that be a series sweep. But I'll take 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: two of three from the Yankees as a victory. 51 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: You know, whenever I see those eighteen run games, especially 52 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, I'm like, hey, boys, let's save some 53 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: for tomorrow. They could have used a few of those 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday. But guys, let us know in the comments 55 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: how you're feeling about this Dodgers team coming out of 56 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: that Yankee series. Of Course I feel a lot better 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: than you know how things were for the team entering 58 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: last week. Of Course, that's where you have the Cleveland series, 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: the Mets series. Now we're playing the Mets again in 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: LA for four starting today. But you just feel a 61 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: lot better when you beat the powerhouse Yankees and you 62 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: see all the media narrative, you know, people the talking 63 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: heads who enter that series is like the Yankees are 64 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: the greatest team, and then like, oh my god, they 65 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: need to blow it up, Brian Cashman needs to be 66 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: fired again, and even though he's never been fired and 67 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. It's like, listen, it's a series. 68 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: It's still a series in May and June. It doesn't 69 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: mean a whole lot. It just feels a lot better 70 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: when you beat their ass as good as you did 71 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: on Saturday Night. For sure. 72 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: You know, to me it does mean a lot though, 73 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: because I know it's cliche, but again, like you need 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: every win, right because at the end of the season, 75 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: it's not as if, as of yet anyway here on 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: June second, Happy June, everybody, it's not as if we're 77 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: running away with this division yet. So you go look 78 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: back at this and you know, in a couple of 79 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: months and it's like, what if we didn't take this 80 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: series against the New York Yankees. Seriously, you know what 81 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it does matter. I mean, I know there's 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 2: still a lot of time. But I do like the 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: fact that they could have easily swept had Yamamoto had 84 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: a little bit of a better outing. And that's okay, 85 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: like he's he's allowed to have a clunker every now 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: and again. But one thing I also take out of 87 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: this is that that eighteen to two game, right, the 88 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: only offense was Aaron Judge. You know, I believe he 89 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: had two solo shots in that game. So Aaron Judge 90 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: was the Yankees offense, and the Dodgers were able to 91 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: do this without the services of Mookie Betts, which I 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: was like, seriously, he stubbed his toe, Like what. 93 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, what a time to be alive, What a time 94 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: to be a Dodger fan. Here he stubs his toe 95 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: on the off day. I guess he's trying to sneak 96 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: into the bathroom in the middle of the night. I 97 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: don't know if he sneak in, but you know, you 98 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: get older, you need to go pee a little bit 99 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: more in the middle of the night, something like that. 100 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: But he hit a wall, hit something with with that 101 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: foot and fractured the I think they said it was 102 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: like the fourth bone on his foot or what. I 103 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: don't know, But even so, he's apparently going to be playing. 104 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: They're still gonna sit him today, then they're hoping to 105 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: get him back in the lineup tomorrow Tuesday, And you know, 106 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: the expectation is it's just a pain tolerance thing, which 107 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: I hate to see and I hate to hear. I 108 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: would rather just maybe let's let's take give him an 109 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: il stint for a week and just kind of go 110 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: from there. I don't know if you feel the same, 111 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: but it feels like it's forced to make him be, 112 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, to have him play with a freshly fractured toe. 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, fracture toe is not going to start today, as 114 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: you mentioned, could very likely be in that lineup on Tuesday. 115 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: I'm fine with sitting Mookie bets, but I don't know 116 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: if five days of rest is going to make a difference. 117 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: I mean, a fracture toe' is a fractured toe, right Like, 118 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how long you're supposed to be off 119 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: of your toe to let it feel. But what I 120 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: do think about this is it gives an opportunity for 121 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: that narrative Clint that Kim needs to play more. I 122 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: mean with MOOKI, you know, whether he's out of the 123 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: lineup or on the il or whatever, an opportunity for 124 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: another infielder to get every day playing time. You know, 125 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: there were some people that were kind of clamoring for 126 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: Kim's arrival. Now that he's here, you know, he's at 127 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 2: a decent start in a very small sample size, What 128 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: say you do you want him to play every day? 129 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: I think we've hit a point now where Hassan Kim 130 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: needs to be in that lineup every day. Of course, 131 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: he has the record game on Saturday. He gets four 132 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: hits in that game. You know he's in the infield, 133 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: he playing shortstop. And what's funny, this is where I 134 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: was also wrong as well. It's like I said on 135 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: my one of my streams on Saturday, I was like, 136 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that Kim is ready for shortstop. I 137 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: don't know that he's ready for outfield. And then he 138 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: turns an unassisted to double play as the shortstop and 139 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: then has the outfield assist. So again I was just 140 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: over for a lot of things in this Yankee series. 141 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: But when you look at the numbers and you look 142 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: at what he's done, and admittedly, yeah, small sample size, 143 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: only twenty two games, forty nine played appearances, but dude 144 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: is hitting four thirteen with an ops over one thousand. 145 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: I think he's he's proven enough to at least get 146 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get in there more often, maybe start 147 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: seeing some left handed batters. By the way, did crank 148 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: a long bomba off a lefty in that game? 149 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 3: Yeah? 150 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: I think it's about time. And you know, Miguel Rojas, 151 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: when he's getting in the lineup, he's not doing a 152 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: whole lot. You feel good right now with Max Munsey 153 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: in the lineup. Of course, Freddy Freeman's going to be 154 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: in there every day, so. 155 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: I get it. So we're back on the Max Mounsey 156 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: is good train. I tell you what this is. The 157 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: this is like the biggest pendulum. This guy has created 158 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: the biggest pendulum swing of Dodgers fans. Like one day 159 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: you're ready to send them to the mood and I'm old, 160 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: so I'm putting my glasses on. Monsey went five for 161 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: eight with three homers and eight RBI on Saturday and Sunday. 162 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: He reached base in five of nine plate appearances. I 163 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: believe that's what a PA is, a plate appearance. He 164 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: queens a couple of weeks ago and he reached base 165 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: sixteen times. In the twenty twenty four NLCS. This is 166 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: all of course against the Mets. That's why I'm bringing 167 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: up these numbers. So we're back on the Munsey's good train. 168 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: Is that what you're. 169 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: Saying, Well, if we're moving ahead a little bit, because 170 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: I did want to talk Monsey and our B block 171 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: of the show, but we could really talk about Monsey 172 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: at any point. And similar to what we saw last 173 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: year with the Dodgers and the magic fix of a 174 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: chiropractor for Munsey and an ie doctor for Key k Hernandez, well, 175 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Max Moncy, he went to that eye doctor, that same 176 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: eye doctor for Kiy k Hernandez, and since then you 177 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: could see the numbers here in this graphic if you're 178 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: watching on TV, Thomas Nessco does a great job breaking down, 179 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, advanced analytics and putting things into an easy 180 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: to digest format for all of us. But the most 181 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: important thing, since wearing the glasses, he has cut his 182 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: strikeout percentage in half. He has boosted his weighted runs 183 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: created plus from fifty nine to one sixty four, and 184 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: all of his homers on the season seven homers have 185 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: come since that since getting the specs, he's the real deal. 186 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: And as we've said before, he finds a way to 187 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: reinvent himself year in, year out. Dave Roberts had also mentioned, 188 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: like he goes through these stretches every year. I will 189 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: never doubt I will never sell my Max Munsey stock. Now, 190 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: at some point you could be looking at it and 191 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: start like, man, well who else, Maybe maybe we're getting 192 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, at that point where he is thirty five 193 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: now and green your pastures are behind him. But no, 194 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: he finds a way to to to b Max Munsey. 195 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: He gets on base, he hits the ball hard and 196 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: far when he's right, and we get the bat drop 197 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: and and and things are good and right now he's 198 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: been a massive addition, uh, to the middle of this lineup, 199 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: that is, you know, right, especially over the Yankee series 200 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: without the Yankee or without Mookie Bets in there and 201 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: all that. So it's why I give a shout to 202 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: SPECX Monsei. 203 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you, and I like what you said 204 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: there about mon see. And I can speak from experience 205 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: that having glasses on helps, Trust me, it helps. I 206 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: can actually see something that why you put this because 207 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: otherwise so there it is. I don't want to read 208 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: things incorrectly. I want to make sure my facts are correct. 209 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: Much more to come on Dodger's Territory back in a 210 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 2: moment after a quick word from our friends that foul. 211 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: Territory ft fan by. Now you know, if you're buying, selling, 212 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: trading collecting cards, Arena Club is the spot. We've been 213 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 4: talking about them all season long. But I do want 214 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 4: to focus on the slab pack experience, Crats. Since you've 215 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 4: been ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens. 216 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open 217 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 3: the packs. How can they do this digitally? Oh baby, 218 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: this is exciting. How the graphics come out and everything. 219 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: And oh yeah, the card that you pull you can 220 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: actually get that John physically, so it's perfect. It's all 221 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: in one place and it's a super exciting experience. 222 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, they send that to you from the vault if 223 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: you want it. But if you look at it and 224 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 4: you're like, it's not the card for me, I want 225 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 4: to sell back, go for it.

What that was? Was that funky. 236 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: Bob in music? 237 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: Evan Phillips to the I L H. 238 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: This stinks, Yeah, Tommy John. Listen. We we were hoping, 239 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: we were all hopeful that it wouldn't be that he 240 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: would have to undergo the knife to get Tommy John. Uh. 241 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: But we saw that initial headline when it came out. 242 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: Like you said it, You said it. You sent us 243 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: a text on our Dodgers territory thread too. Just recently 244 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: when they signed Edwin Diaz from the Cincinnati Reds, are like, 245 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: what says Evan, I'm sorry, Alexis, I wish it was 246 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz anyway. What says what says tom What says 247 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 2: Evan Phillips is having tom Tommy John surgery more than 248 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: this when they signed Alexis Das from the Cincinnati Reds 249 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 2: and sure enough, two days later, there we go. Evan 250 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: Phillips is headed even longer on the I l he 251 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: was obviously already there Tommy John surgery as we feared. 252 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: And also Tyler Gladsnow moved the sixty day DL, which Clint, 253 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: that's just semantics. We knew he's already been out for 254 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: sixty days and that's just semantics. So it doesn't mean 255 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 2: anything differently for glads Now, but it was made official. 256 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and at least in terms of when he's going 257 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: to come back and be available to pitch for this team. 258 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: It's more of just I wouldn't say a bad look, 259 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: but it's a look that, given his tenure as a 260 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: Dodger so far has been very marred by injury, to 261 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: see him go to the sixty day IL, people who 262 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: maybe aren't paying as much attention day in day out, 263 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: that's just going to be like one of those Uh see, 264 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: this guy has always hurt, he's not there for the team, 265 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: YadA YadA. But no, it's procedural move. They need roster space, 266 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: and my god, they have so many people in the 267 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: sixty day IL right now. It's insane. 268 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: It's stupid. So does that mean reinforcements are coming? Let's 269 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: talk about that. I mean, I feel like Michael Kopek 270 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: has had seventy nine rehab assignments. I feel like he's 271 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: had seventy nine rehab outings. I mean he's bound to 272 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 2: be back what this week, perhaps this series next. 273 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: I think that's the goal. That's the goal. Here the 274 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: latest from Sonya Chen, who covers Dodgers for MLB dot Com. 275 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Another one. We also lost Luis Garcia, who I have 276 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: to be mean to him for the narrative, so it's 277 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: a great move, but also secretly he's been pretty decent 278 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: for the team. But the expectation is we could see 279 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: Michael Kopek back. I think they're gonna make He's making 280 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: one more rehab outing at Triple A Oklahoma City this week. 281 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: And also good news in the Kirby Yates front, where 282 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: he maybe that hamstring wasn't as bad of an injury, 283 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: which is something even Mark Pryor had told us when 284 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: we chatted with him a couple of weeks ago. Just 285 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: as Mark said, it's just him being old, being thirty eight, 286 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: thirty nine years old. But yeah, I mean to get 287 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: Kopek and the Yates back, that would be a massive 288 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: addition for this team, to get some adults at the 289 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: back end of that bullpen in leverage positions. So it's 290 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: not just Ben Casparius being the one dude that's like, hey, 291 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: this is a kid that is shouldering a lot of 292 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: load for this team and he could use some help. 293 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, And I think that's part 294 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 2: of the reason why Luis Garcia is kind of hurt 295 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: now too, is he was shouldering a lot of it. 296 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 2: And I hate to say, but a lot of those 297 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: garbage innings for this club. But I mean, you have 298 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: to have a guy in the Billblehen that can do 299 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: that for you, and that role is just as important 300 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: as it is to be a closer. I mean over 301 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: the stretch of a season, you know, you need guys 302 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 2: that can get those outs and eat those innings when 303 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: you're in bad spots. And yeah, showtime, La, thanks for 304 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: being part of the chat here on Dodger's territory. Emmit 305 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: Sheen will be the neck replacement big time stuff. I hope. 306 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: So I hope, you know, I hope that Kopek comes 307 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: back soon. I hope that Yates is back soon as 308 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: well and effective. It will be great to get Emmitt 309 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: Shean back. 310 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people sleeping on Emmett 311 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: Shean by the way, you like. 312 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: Now you've been big man for a long time. What 313 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: do you like about him? What do you like about 314 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: his stuff? 315 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Well, when he's healthy. I like the fact that he 316 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: could be healthy. But you know, he's somebody who's who's 317 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: got a plus plus fastball and some good breaking pitchers 318 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: that play off of it. Admittedly, I haven't seen him 319 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: since the end of twenty three, so it has been 320 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: a while since we've seen uh, we've taken him to 321 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: Emmett's fix it shop, and that's Simpson's reference for everybody 322 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: who's paying attention. But yeah, he's just another quality arm 323 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: that this team desperately needs right now because you know 324 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: the next injury is coming. It's any moment. That's just 325 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: how it goes.

Our friend Bill Plunkett given 335 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: us the probables for the series, and I'm circling that 336 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: dust and May start tonight because it will be the 337 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: first time as a major leaguer that Dustin May has 338 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: made an appearance in the month of June, which is 339 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: ridiculous when you consider he made his major league debut 340 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: all the way back in twenty nineteen, but with injuries, 341 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: with of course, the twenty twenty season starting late because 342 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: of COVID and the sixty game season, and you know, 343 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: a summer camp happened there in the month of June 344 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: before the season resumed or got underway in the month 345 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: of July. It's just insane the fact that this dude 346 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: has been around for this long. 347 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at now, I couldn't believe when you 348 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: put that in the rundown, I was like, you gotta 349 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: be kidding me. By the way, Henry, I'm just messing 350 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: with you, my friend. Thanks for being a part of 351 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: the chat, and ebe go away. I don't know who 352 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: you are, but go away. Yeah, So it'd be fun 353 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: to see obviously, Dustin may get out there in June. 354 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure that nobody's more pleased with that than him. 355 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: You know, obviously he wants to stay healthy. He had 356 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: a very scary time with the whole esophagus issue and 357 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: it was very, very dangerous. Let's talk about this Mets preview. 358 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 2: Pardon d shall we Yeah, let's do that is a 359 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: team obviously, that is good, right. They have a one 360 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: game lead in the NL East. So I love these 361 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: types of matchups when you have two division winners going 362 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: head to head again, a pair of division leaders facing off. 363 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: The Mets got the better of the Dodgers when the 364 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: teams met last week in Queens. That was not that 365 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 2: long ago. They won two of three of those games. 366 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: But the Dodgers lead Major League Baseball and runs per game. 367 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: Let the Mets lead in era. The Mets held Shoho 368 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: Tny to just two hits in the last series, So 369 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: hopefully show he can have a better showing against the 370 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: Mets this time than he did last time. But this 371 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: is fun. A year ago on Monday Clint on June second, 372 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, the Mets had a twenty four and 373 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: thirty five record, But over the last three hundred and 374 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: sixty five days. So over the course of a year, 375 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: they've been the top team in Major League Baseball, one 376 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 2: spot ahead of the reigning champion Dodgers. So talk about parody, right, 377 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: talk about how good these two teams are going head 378 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: to head. They have a good lineup, they have the 379 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: best pitching staff starting pitching staff in the BIGS. This 380 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 2: will be a good test. I enjoyed. I like the 381 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 2: fact that we're at home. You know, perhaps that we 382 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: can repay the favor, but I always enjoy having these 383 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 2: types of good series in the regular season to kind 384 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: of get your prepped for the postseason. Again, well, could 385 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: be an opponent in the playoffs. 386 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would have. I would have appreciated 387 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: there was a little bit more space between the two series, 388 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: but you know, we didn't really get that luck here apparently. 389 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, Mets are very good, Dodgers are very good. 390 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: It's it's good for baseball to have these two teams playing. Sorry, 391 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: I'm half distracted here because we've got breaking news happening 392 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: right now here during the show, I was trying to 393 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: put a graphic together in the middle of it. But 394 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are apparently acquiring right handed reliever Will Klein 395 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: for lefty pitcher Joe Jacques, who's been pitching at Triple A. 396 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: I believe so far, listen Andrew and Andrew, he's going 397 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: out there and trying to find some dudes. I don't 398 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: know much about Will Klein. I think he's one of 399 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: those guys that the Mariners have kind of leaned on 400 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: at different points in time to to be an option 401 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: in the bullpen. But yeah, Dodgers bring another another what 402 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: do they call him? A reclamation project to along with? 403 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: You know, I guess we didn't even talk about alexisd 404 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: a is here on that deal on the show. Yeah, 405 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: what do you think of the alexis d as a deal? 406 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: You know? I mean, it's so tough to say when 407 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: you're coming from a team that's not that good. It's like, 408 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, the Reds are bad, you 409 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: know what I mean. So it's like, I don't know 410 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: that I don't know, but you just mentioned it reclamation project, right, 411 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: I mean, there's something about the Dodgers, whether it's because 412 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: these guys don't have to be the dude and carry 413 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: the weight by themselves, or it's just because of the 414 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: coaching staff. Or the culture or whatever it is. But 415 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: guys seem to be able to reinvent themselves here and 416 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: just stick to what got him to the big leagues 417 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: and have success. So perhaps again cliche, but that change 418 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: of scenery maybe that helps Alexis d As. But the 419 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 2: Dodgers need bullpen help and that's that's absolutely a fact 420 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: with Blake trying it out. Obviously, Evan Phillip's gone for 421 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: the rest of this year, part of twenty twenty six. 422 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: You know, Vessia hasn't been great. Tanner Scott hasn't been great. 423 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: We still don't have Kirby Yate's Kopek all the things. 424 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: You know, you can't be been pispirious and that's it, 425 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So I get it. I 426 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 2: get it. You know, you're trying to look for the 427 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: guys that you can figure out a way that they're 428 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: gonna fit within the mold of what the Dodgers have 429 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: going on. 430 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: Okay, So Klein I was off about him. He is somebody. 431 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: He made his debut last year. It looks like with 432 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: the Royals, spent some time also with the Oakland Athletics. 433 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: Posted an eleven ERA in eight games last year. In 434 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: his first cup of coffee as a big leaguer and 435 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: as a at the minor league level, we have a 436 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: five point three to four career era. He's somebody who's 437 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: mostly pitched in relief, not anybody maybe more triple A 438 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: depth than anything like that. But he another arm, another 439 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: arm for your Los Angeles stuff. 440 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, maybe it's not. He's not expensive, so 441 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 2: maybe it's something that you're just trying to We need 442 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: healthy arms right now. We need people that can just 443 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: throw and eat up some innings. I mean, that's I 444 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 2: think part of what you know this this move is about, 445 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: is like, we don't have a lot of healthy bullpen arms. 446 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: And again, our starting pitchers are not going deep into 447 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 2: the ballgame, so you're relying on a bullpen that's already 448 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: tired and it's June second. So I think that's the 449 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 2: biggest part of you know what this is Speaking of 450 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: starting pitching, Blake Snell is trained as blending. He's told 451 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: our own David Vesse, who does a great job on 452 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: AM five point seventy friend of the show, that he's 453 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: up to one hundred and twenty feet and throwing without pain. 454 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: I love that phrase without pain. 455 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: That's yeah, yeah, I listened to the clip. You guys 456 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: should check it out. Of course, listen to DV on 457 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: Dodger Talk just about every day. But Snell had mentioned 458 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: that he, you know, was throwing there, throwing some flat 459 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: ground one hundred and twenty feet with the Yankees in 460 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: town and seeing all the star studded people, seeing the 461 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: Fox crew there and seeing these Hall of famers, and 462 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: he's like, ah, really wants you. You want to just 463 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: let it eat when you're out there, you have to 464 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: tell yourself calm down. This is not about right now. 465 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: We're trying to get to a point where we're healthy. 466 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: It can come back and help this team out. But 467 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: he said he's expecting all things. If it trends the 468 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: correct way, we're expecting to get him off a mound 469 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: in the upcoming San Diego series, which, by the way, 470 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: do you know the Dodgers and the Padres can play 471 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: baseballach other? 472 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: Did you know? I didn't think so. I thought that 473 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: was only in the NLDS. I cannot believe we have 474 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: not seen the Padres yet. So again, June's gonna be good, right. 475 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to me. I blinked and 476 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: it was over. But here we are in June. Second. 477 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: It is also lou gerrig Day. We'll talk about that 478 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: coming up in a little bit, but yeah, here we go. 479 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: It'll be great to see what they do again against 480 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: the Mets, possible postseason opponent, and then they're done with 481 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: the Mets this year until the postseason perhaps, but yeah, 482 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 2: looking forward to that June series as well with the 483 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: San Diego Padres. It would be great if Blake Snell 484 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 2: can start throwing off of a mound. Much more to 485 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: come on Dodgers' territory, but back in a moment after 486 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: a quick word from our friends at Foul Territory. 487 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 5: Scott, you need to check out this Roeback hoodie I have. 488 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 5: It's eighty five plus degrees here in Florida.

He needs a home. He's 500 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: so so sweet. He just recently got neutered. He is 501 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: healing from his neuter beautifully. He was a very good, 502 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 2: successful procedure, safe and healthy.

So you know a young 507 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 2: family or a family that likes to hike or get outside, 508 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 2: or at least you know has a yard, but they 509 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 2: can throw the ball and play some fetch with Chip. 510 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: He was abandoned somewhere near Griffith Observatory and he needs 511 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: a home. So if you're interested in adopting Chip, please 512 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: hit us up at Gidreysguardian dot org or hit me 513 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: up on my social channels as well. All right, So, 514 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: as I mentioned earlier, Clinton, this is Lou Garrig today, 515 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: Lou Garrigg Day today, and it is the fifth annual 516 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: Lou Gary Day. Lou Gegg, of course, passed away on 517 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: this date and after he suffered with a very long 518 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: battle with ALS. They call it Lou Gregg's disease. Of course, 519 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: a lot of people have been impacted by this disease. 520 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 2: Of course, our own Sarah Langs, who does a tremendous 521 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: job on ESPN on MLB network, she is unfortunately dealing 522 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 2: with this, but she's dealing with it in a very 523 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: positive light. She is just an unbelievable soul. Loves the 524 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: game of baseball no like nobody's else. I mean, she 525 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 2: just loves it so much so all around baseball. Over 526 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: the course of the weekend, Major League Baseball was put 527 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: in out the word just getting you know, more information 528 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: out there about Lou Garrig Day. You can help too. 529 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: There's mlbtogether dot com. The Dodgers specifically have a couple 530 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: of organizations that they are supporting in terms of ALS 531 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: awareness and ways that you can help. You just go 532 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 2: MLB dot com together and you can see all of 533 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: these different organizations and things that you can do to 534 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: try to raise awareness and money and all of the things. 535 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: So again, it's important. It's affecting a lot of people 536 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: in our great game. Sarah Lang's being probably the most 537 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: notable of those right now, and Tim Kirchin, his brother 538 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: passed away from als. Obviously, everybody knows who Tim Kirchen 539 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: is on ESPN, So anyway, I just wanted to make 540 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: sure that people are aware of that. What do you 541 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: have my friend coming up on All Dodgers with Clint 542 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: PACs tonight? 543 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: Probably nothing because your boy, this is my Jordan flu 544 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: game right now, not feeling all that hot. But we 545 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: will be back tomorrow night here with a post game 546 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: after Game two of the Dodgers met series, and then 547 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: I will probably be live again either on my channel 548 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: either Wednesday or Thursday, and definitely on Saturday. We've been 549 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: doing Saturday streams having a lot of fun doing that. 550 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: So that's what's eventually coming up on my channel, So 551 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: make sure you guys subscribe. There there it is. You 552 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,239 Speaker 1: can see that. I should probably link it in the 553 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: description or something like that, but I don't do that. 554 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 2: It would probably be a good idea. So anyway, there's 555 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 2: some comment. I'm just looking at our chat here again. 556 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: Thanks you guys for being a part of it and 557 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 2: just being a part of the show. We appreciate it 558 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: very much. But there is some talk, of course, there's 559 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 2: always speculation right about all these different possibilities. I don't 560 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: think that the Red Sox, unless they figure it out quickly, 561 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 2: they're not going anywhere in terms of postseason and those 562 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: types of things. So, you know, Jaren Duran, is he 563 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 2: a trade piece? I mean, he could play center field. 564 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: Is that somebody that I don't even know If the 565 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 2: Red Sox would consider trading him, I doubt it. I 566 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: highly doubt it, because he's one of the bright spots, 567 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: one of the only bright spots that they have right now. 568 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: But again, let's pretend that the you know, trade deadline 569 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: is next week. Who would you like to see in 570 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: a dodgy uniform? And what holes are we filling right now? 571 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, And I think there's been a 572 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: little bit of a narrative online that they're they're exploring 573 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: some bench help, potentially a left handed bat off of 574 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: the bench. I think the bench is bench is honestly 575 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: pretty decently balanced as it is. But you know, as 576 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: much as I hate to say it, I and I 577 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: fear even bringing it up just because I think you're 578 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: gonna yell at me. The people in the chat will agree, 579 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: But I don't know that, you know, Miguel Rojas, now, 580 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: if we'll keep trying to make this roster at its best, 581 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: I don't know that that he is bringing the most 582 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: value to the roster right now, both offensively and defensively, 583 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: at this point in his career. So I would wonder 584 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: if they're going to explore some sort of move to 585 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: fortify that bench, because I think everywhere else they're in 586 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: a pretty good spot. You know, Mookie Betts be in 587 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: the shortstop, He's done perfectly fine there. He's been admirable 588 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: as a shortstop, if not above admirable, whatever that means. 589 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: We just need to get his bat going again, and then, 590 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: you know, beyond that, Like I said, Munsey's good, Freddie 591 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: Freeman is a Hall of Famer, Like you feel good 592 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: everywhere else, like you're just missing you're talking about positionally, 593 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: I think a bench, Yeah, I mean, I. 594 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: Can appreciate what you're saying. Really, I mean, and I 595 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: would have thought, no, there's not They're not going to 596 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: do that until they defade Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor 597 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: basically in back to back days and I and I 598 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: and I understand the business side of it. But you know, 599 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: this is a team that has expectations to win a 600 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 2: World Series again. This is not a team that's like, well, 601 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 2: we'll try hard. This is a team that really has 602 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 2: an expectation that they will repeat. And if you're not 603 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 2: cutting it, it's a production game, right, This is not 604 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: a game where I mean, they'll try, they'll let you 605 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: try for a little bit, but if you're not, if 606 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: you're not a producer, then you're probably going to go. 607 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 2: I don't know what that move is. I don't know 608 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: if it's you know, Conforto. I don't know if it's Rojas. 609 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if you know. So far, Conforto hasn't 610 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: been well. I guess Paul, they're Paul g You just 611 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: told me. You know, he hasn't been what I've wanted 612 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: him to be. I thought he was going to be 613 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: a really good left handed bat off of the bench 614 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: and obviously a good defensive outfielder, but so far it 615 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: hasn't kind of come to fruition in a Dodger's uniform. 616 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's been a lot better of late, similar 617 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: to like Max Munsey, but still like the overall production 618 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: hasn't been there. And if you're in the spirit of 619 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: trying to put together the best twenty six dudes available 620 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: and thirteen available for you know, your position player side 621 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: of things, you look at upgrading your Confortos, you look 622 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: it upgrading your your Miguel Rojas or whatever whoever it's 623 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: gonna end up being, you know, on the bench there 624 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: or something like that. I guess, like I said earlier 625 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: in the show, I want to see more hess On 626 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: Kim in there. I want to see him get a 627 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: lot more opportunity. I think he's he's earning it. And 628 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: beyond that, got two months until the trade deadline, so 629 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot to figure out over these next handful 630 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: of weeks. 631 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think a lot a lot of change. 632 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: Hopefully a lot of guys come back. I mean, in 633 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: that amount of TI, there should be some dudes off 634 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 2: of the IL that will really contribute. All right, Well, 635 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: Clint and I are going to be back tomorrow night 636 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 2: postgame for Game two of the Dodgers hosting the New 637 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: York Metropolitans.
