1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: The Dodgers. They protect their medical information, but they lie. 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: They lie. They are very creative with the words that 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: they choose. Dave is a great politician when it comes 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: to this. One of the things I love about. 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 2: Him that music means one thing, and that thing is 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 2: that we are here a brand new, fresh episode of 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: Dodgers Territory. 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 3: Welcome everybody. I'm Alana Rizzo. That is my guy, Clint Pacis. 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 3: We are here for the next half an hour talking 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 3: all things Dodgers. The team is off today, Clint, but 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean we don't have stuff to talk about. 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 3: So let's get to it. Let's get to the big ticket. 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: Let's do it. 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 3: So the good news is, Clint Pacis, the Dodgers took 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 3: the series against the mighty Texas Rangers there in global 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 3: live field, so that is a positive. However, it was 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: a bit of a slow offensive week for your boys 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: in blue. What do you make of the lineup, production 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: or lack thereof the qualit of AB's and just the 20 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: offense in general over that three game set. 21 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we know they were out there facing 22 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: some quality pitching. Jacob deGrom back from the dead, puts 23 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: up a hell of a start against my Cy Young pick, 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. We'll talk about yo Yama and a little bit. 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: You know, after that, Nati Evaldi doing what the Evaldi 26 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: does is carving up some dudes looking really really good. 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: He's not an ace like top level ace, but he 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: still very much gets a job done. And then you 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: know the reinvented Tyler Mallley doing really good things against 30 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Now, is it facing three aces or is 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: it the offense being a little bit lack luster for 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: your boys in blue? That's really the question I think 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: on a lot of people's minds as we look at numbers, 34 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: and let's I kind of want us to structure the 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: show a little bit good, bad, then ugly. So we'll 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: talk about good, but the offense again leaving something to 37 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: be desired, but maybe we focus on the good part 38 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: of the pitching first. 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: I love it glass half full. Whatever is in your glass, 40 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: let it be full. I'm going to talk about something 41 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: good and that is your Cy Young pick for the 42 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: National League, Yoshi Nobu yam Mamoto. He's been really solid 43 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 3: so far this season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Clint 44 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 3: three and one, but look at the era. My friend, 45 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: a point nine to three earned run average, one seventy 46 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: eight opponents batting against him. Only major league baseball pitcher 47 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: in the modern era. We're talking about this right here 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: with these stats. To have thirty five or more strikeouts, 49 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: a five or more strikeout to walk ratio, fewer than 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: twenty hits allowed, fewer than five runs allowed over his 51 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: first five starts of a season. There's a lot of 52 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: fives going on there, but it's all good. I'm going 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: to give him a high five for the way that 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: Yamamoto has pitched so far in twenty twenty five. 55 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the difference a year makes. You know, 56 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: this time a year ago, we're talking about that awful 57 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: start in Korea. Why did they give this guy three 58 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million dollars. Well, there's a reason why. 59 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: You know, he was one of the best pitchers in 60 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: the world while pitching in Japan. Whilst uh, yeah, he 61 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: was an absolute ace there. He's a dog, he's dominant, 62 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: and we're seeing it now. This is your your Dodgers ace, 63 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: this is your Dodgers stopper. He's got everything this team 64 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: needs win. You know, you need to go out there 65 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: and get a win and know that your offense isn't clicking, 66 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: it's not firing on all cylinders. He's going to keep 67 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: you in the game and and put together some low numbers, 68 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: uh you know, for this team to hopefully eke out 69 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: a one nothing or in his case, a three nothing 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: shut out victory over the Rangers. 71 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: And it is to your credit that you picked this 72 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: guy to be, uh, you know, an award winner at 73 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: the end of the season. I wasn't. He wasn't my guy. 74 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: You know, he really wasn't my guy. I don't know 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: if I even I don't even remember what the heck 76 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: guy picked. I probably picked Snell who's hurt, and Glasnow 77 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: who apparently has cramping issues. Yeah, so what the heck 78 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: do I know? But the point is Yama has been great. 79 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: How sustainable is this? How up? Five minutes the show 80 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: on the air, just you're wondering everybody. 81 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: Show, how sustainable? How sustained is it for for anybody? 82 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: You know? He's gotta stay healthy, He's the stuff is there, 83 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: He's getting better and better as his major league career matures. 84 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: He's just gotta keep on doing his thing. That's really 85 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: what it comes down. For down to for yamamotos stay healthy, 86 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: make sure that shoulder stays healthy. Be on the bumpy 87 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: every week. That's where we're at right now. I mean, 88 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Friday is what it's. On Tuesdays we wear on Wednesdays 89 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: we wear pink, and on Yamamoto Day it's Friday. And 90 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm good with that. I'm happy with that. It's working out. 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: For the Dodgers, it's about filling in all the other 92 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: little holes in between, hoping that Dustin May doesn't turn 93 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: into a pumpkin or something like that, because they need 94 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: a lot out of him this week, this week and 95 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: to start tomorrow against the Cubs because every other pitcher's 96 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: head's kind of falling off. Roki Sasaki, let's talk about 97 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: the other part of that Japanese tandem there, because another 98 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: good start out of Roki Son. He keeps getting better 99 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: and better, first time making it into the sixth inning 100 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: in his major league career. Two hits, the two runs, 101 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: three walks, four k's. You know, good, not great, but 102 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: you got to like the steady improvement. For uh, you 103 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: know what I like, JUCKI. 104 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 3: You know what I love Clint about Sasaki is he 105 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: had sixteen first pitch strikes facing twenty two guys like, 106 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: he's just pounding the zone early, and that's what you want, 107 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: right You want him to be able to pound the zone. 108 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: You want some movement on the fastball. You want to 109 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: force the hitter to hit what he's given you. And 110 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: he looks really good his first quality starts. So good job, 111 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 3: Rokie Sasaki. Proud of you, if I can say that, 112 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: not trying to be condescending, but all we want to see, 113 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 3: and we talked about it, all we want to see 114 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: is improvement right throughout the season. You just have to 115 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: continually get better. And as Dodger Insider pointed out, Roki 116 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 3: Sasaki has completed six innings for the first time in 117 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: his major league career. Sasaki came into this game with 118 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: the fifty percent first strike percentage. It's seventy three percent 119 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: today and that is where you get the number of 120 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: the sixteen first strikes to twenty two batters. So again, 121 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 3: he's improving, and that's all that you can ask for. 122 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: You had said you wanted to go good, bad good. 123 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: We went good good. Let's talk about the bat, and 124 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 3: the bat is not even atrocious. It's just something we 125 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: would like to see better, and that is the offense 126 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: stepping up a little bit. I just don't feel, and 127 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: we were talking about it with Sarah, our producer earlier 128 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: today and Jeremy that we don't feel that this club 129 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: has performed on both sides of the ball equally well 130 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: in the same game so far this season. So you've 131 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: had some really decent offensive performances and you've had some 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: lackluster pitching and then vice versa. Right, I'm looking for 133 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: that total team effort, not that they're not efforting it themselves, 134 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: but I'm looking for the total team effort of where 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: we have a laugher put up ten runs with this lineup. 136 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: You should the nine to ten runs, right, We still 137 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 3: haven't seen that. It's been a little too close for comfort. 138 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: And even the spot starters from what we call the 139 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 3: B team, if you're being called up when some of 140 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: our regulars are out, they really haven't performed yet either. 141 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 3: So that's a that's diarrhea of the mouth. Right now, 142 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 3: I've talking too much. 143 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: You've been hanging out with me. 144 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: The point is, I just want to see a more 145 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: complete game. 146 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the offense, the offense, the pitching overall has been 147 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: pretty dang solid, you know, outside of that sixteen nothing 148 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: stinker where every everybody's head fell off outside of a 149 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: rookie Susaki and that start going that he was going. 150 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: He went four or five innings the eave of the run. 151 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: But really the offense has lead left a lot to 152 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: be desired throughout most of the season. Earlier today we 153 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: were talking about you're the one who brought up it's 154 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: like I feel, you feel in your mind they haven't 155 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: been The offense hasn't been as good since completing that 156 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: eight nothing or eight no start to the season. Well, 157 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: the numbers don't lie. My friend Blake Harris posting this. 158 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: You know they won that eighth game April second, they 159 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: were off on April third, and since April third, which 160 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: would be April fourth, the first time they played after that, 161 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: the number is just not good. Firmly lower middle to 162 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: lower part of the pack. When it comes to offensive categories. 163 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: In batting average, the twentieth, on base percentage, they are 164 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: eleventh and OPS tied for eighth thanks to I think 165 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: it's eleven, but anyways, typer eighth and OPS thanks to 166 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: a lot of power that the team absolutely displays a 167 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: lot of power, so they can get by and fueling 168 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: that on slug but still offensively. Just a lot to 169 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: be desired, and I know some people will clamor for 170 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: Hessan Kim to get the call up. Alex Friedland is 171 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: another name. We've talked before about Dalton rushing a lot 172 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: of the rookies. Listen, they have some good numbers down 173 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: at Triple A, but they also have some holes in 174 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: their games. Both Kim and Freeland striking out a lot. 175 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: I think Freeland is somebody. He's hitting really nice. I mean, 176 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: he's hitting three twenty nine, so you know, don't ball, 177 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: don't lie there, but he's striking out. 178 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: He's also facing you know, Triple A pitchers too. It's 179 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: not the same. You know, it's not And I understand, Yes, 180 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: that's what you want to do. You want to tear 181 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: the cover off the ball at every level that you're at. 182 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 3: But you know, it's just a it's a huge step 183 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: between Triple A and and the big league level. Okay, 184 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 3: we want to do glass half full, as we mentioned, 185 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: So let's talk about the fact that they still have 186 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 3: not had the top of the lineup consistently every single game. Right, 187 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of games in which Otani, Freeman 188 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: and Betts have not played together, and those are those 189 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: are the guys that are supposed to get on base, right, 190 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 3: those are the guys that are driving in runs. Those 191 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 3: are the guys. Those are your offensive powerhouse, right. I 192 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 3: mean it's it's the top three in the order, and 193 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: we have not had those three in the lineup consistently. 194 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 3: So there is my glass half full assessment that there 195 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: is something a little bit lackluster. 196 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is again, guys, this is early part 197 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: of the season. We know there's gonna be times where 198 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: they're going to put it all together, even mixing Tasker 199 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: in there. You know, he missed a couple of games 200 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: with some sickness one through four. There there is a 201 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: Michael Confordo conversation we had because he's somebody who's betten, 202 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, square in the middle of that lineup, and 203 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: he's been struggling a whole bunch of particularly since that 204 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: date we talked about before, since four to three, hitting 205 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: one twenty five with a four to sixty three ops 206 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: as a homer, but sixteen k's and grounded into three 207 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: double plays. It feels like more to me. But he's 208 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: been he's been a rally killer Michael CONFORDO. So need 209 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: to get him going again. Need to see either what 210 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: he did with the Giants last year or if he 211 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: can get what he was early in his career as 212 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: a New York Metropolitan that would be phenomenal. But it's 213 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: still early. We're not even through April. 214 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think, what are we doing? Like 215 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: we're ten maybe eleven to twelve percent of the season again, 216 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: but we have the luxury of being fans of the 217 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: Dodgers and having a show about the Dodgers where we 218 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: can nitpick. I mean, if you look at anybody of 219 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: the you know, again you don't want to be when 220 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 3: there are only thirty teams in the league. You don't 221 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: want to be twentieth and anything offensively, I mean, you 222 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: don't want to be at the bottom of the pack. 223 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 3: And as Blake Harris illustrated there, they're at the bottom 224 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: of the pack and a lot of important offensive categories. 225 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: But it is early. We can nitpick because that's what 226 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: we're supposed to do. Five thing here nor there. 227 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: Even with all that, as bad as it's felt, you know, 228 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, there's still a game 229 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: over five hundred over that span eight and seven since 230 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: starting eight to O, and they're a half game out 231 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: of having well, I guess, one game out of having 232 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the best record in baseball. So even a not so 233 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: like polished brand of baseball still very good Dodger baseball. 234 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: It's just not what we were expecting when you're talking 235 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: about an almost like four hundred million dollars roster or 236 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: however much they're paying for it. 237 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 3: But and you know how I feel about that, though 238 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: you know how I feel about assessing wins and losses 239 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: to payroll numbers. Doesn't that doesn't matter. It guarantees you 240 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: good players, It guarantees you get into the postseason, but 241 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: it doesn't guarantee you championships. And I don't feel when 242 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: anybody says you can spend a bazillion dollars the guys 243 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: aren't playing well together, it's not going to make a difference. 244 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: A lot more to come here on Dodger's Territory, including 245 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: the some injury updates that we have for you guys, 246 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: but first let's hear from our friends at Foul Territory 247 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 3: on Arena Club. 248 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 4: Tod Father, I love the way that modern technology has 249 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 4: changed the way that we buy sell trade cards, even 250 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 4: rip packs. They're called slab packs, and they're on Arena Club. 251 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 4: No more shuffling through everything. The common cards are all 252 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: over the place, Stuff's getting folded out and all messed up. 253 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: Arena Club keeps it nice and tight in your digital showroom. 254 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 4: And then when you want that card and you want 255 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 4: to show it off, what do you do?

I think this is huge 259 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 5: just because the fact that you talked about cutting the corners. 260 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: You want to get a card that doesn't break or 261 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 5: doesn't have a problem with it, go right there, Arena Club. 262 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 5: They have everything you need, easy money right there for 263 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 5: really really good, exceptional card. 264 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: After your pulls are revealed, they'll immediately be placed in 265 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 4: your vault for safe keeping or trading and selling.

I thank 273 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: goodness that it doesn't look like it's a big deal. 274 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: And we have our chat is blowing up about why 275 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: Tyler Glasnow should drink some pickle juice because that has 276 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: helped a lot of folks with cramps before. I love it, Okay, 277 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 3: I actually I'm a fan of pickle juice. Is well, 278 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: you do either here nor there. 279 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: First you take that, you shoot the whiskey, then you 280 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: have the pickle back chaser, and then he'll be fighting 281 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: go out. 282 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, but don't you think though, that whiskey is a dehydrant. 283 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: If you're cramping, you. 284 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: Don't want to alcohol. 285 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 3: But I you know, I'm not a doctor. I don't 286 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 3: even play one on TV. I play an analyst on TV. 287 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: But let me ask you this. When Tyler Glasnow had 288 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: to leave his start early, my heart stopped. And the 289 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: reason being is, you just don't know what you're gonna do, 290 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: and we can't, in my opinion, afford another starter the 291 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 3: caliber of Tyler Glassnow to go on the shelf, especially 292 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: since mister I was only supposed to miss two start 293 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: blakes Now is still not throwing off of a mount 294 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 3: that's concerning to me. And when you have when you 295 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: have two Japanese born pictures that throw every six days 296 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: or essentially once a week, yeah, that's problematic. So thank goodness, 297 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: he's okay, Thank goodness, is just cramping. But it scares 298 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 3: me like that. I'm like, oh my god, because I'm 299 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 3: starting to worry about the depth a little bit. 300 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: And you inherently worry anytime you see anything with Glass. Now, 301 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: any sort of injury or you know, he can move 302 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: his wrist a certain way and you're like, oh great, 303 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: he's about to die in three hours or something like that. 304 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: The Dodgers can ill afford to be without Tyler Glass. Now, thankfully, 305 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: everything seems to be mostly okay. He did address the 306 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: whole hydration thing there because it was hot, humid, ugly 307 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: in Texas on Sunday afternoon. 308 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: But you know, bro, we all have weather apps. We 309 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 3: all know it's going to be hot and humid in 310 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: Texas in April, so you can't hydrate the day of. 311 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: But I'm not suggesting that he did hydrate the day of. 312 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: You have to start hydrating days before, and the Dodgers 313 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: have one of the best medical staffs in the league, 314 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: so I'm not knocking them, but my point is, we 315 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: know it's April, we know it's Texas, and we know 316 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: it's hot. So you've got to be prepared to be 317 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: able to pitch through that one. It's rain in Philly, 318 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: then it's rain, you know, then it's heat in Texas. 319 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: Like come on, yeah, wait with Glass now, though I 320 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: understand where he's at, like some people I talked about 321 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: this earlier today, where like I think people like us 322 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: that have watched on the Dodgers watch Clayton Kershaw for 323 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: so many years, and I understand Kersh is injured right now, 324 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: but you know, there was a different brand of player 325 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: back in the day that would, you know, grit and 326 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: force their way. They would fight their way through a 327 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: moment like this. But with Glass now we see a 328 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: lot of little injuries, you know, like that's sprained the 329 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: toenail or fingernail, or maybe his hair doesn't have the 330 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: same bounce it usually does so he can't make it 331 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: through five innings, or there was you know, not the 332 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: best grip in Philadelphia when he was pitching because of 333 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: the rain. So he kind of has the melt down 334 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: there in Philly. People are I can understand the concern 335 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: with Glass. I can understand his concern as well. The 336 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: second he starts to feel something barking, you know, get 337 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: out of there, run out of there, go start take 338 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: your IV or whatever it is so the cap doesn't 339 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: blow up on you or whatever it was. But yeah, 340 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: this is a team that they need Glass now. They 341 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: need him on the bump. They need to get through 342 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: five or six innings because this is also a very 343 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: overworked bullpen. They've been phenomenal, uh you know, tip of 344 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: the cap to the bullpen. 345 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 3: Well, and that's that's another problem that I see in this. 346 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 3: I feel like we're always playing the Cubs, by the way, 347 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: But that's another problem I see. If you know that 348 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: you're going to have to throw a bullpen game on 349 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: a bullpen that's already pretty taxed, that goes to show 350 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: me that they don't have a ton of faith in 351 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 3: those guys that could come up and make spot starts 352 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: the Justin Robleski's of the world, the land and Knacks 353 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: of the world. Obviously, Bobby Miller just being optioned back down. 354 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: To he actually just made it to the Moon's. 355 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 3: I know, I know that you wanted to send him 356 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: to the moon apparently in your estimation, if you're on 357 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 3: Blue Origin, he's gone past the moon. He's on his 358 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: way to Jupiter, evidently. But I mean that is that 359 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: a level of concern for you that they're not bringing 360 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 3: up these guys to make a spot start and they're 361 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: just going to piece it together with the bullpen game. 362 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: I mean, luckily the schedule helps them out. Having the 363 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: off day today and then an off day on Thursday 364 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: does allow Dave to and this front office to kind 365 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: of get a little creative with the bullpen game. You 366 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: need a lot though, You need a lot out of 367 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Dustin May in his Tuesday start. And you know, I 368 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: really hope with d May. I love what we've seen 369 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: from him so far. He has been fantastic. You know, 370 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 1: knock on desk. I don't ruin things here for saying it, 371 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: but I hope the clock doesn't strike midnight as he 372 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: gets to you know, Chicago here for the start, because 373 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: he needs to go out there and let it eat 374 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: for five, six, maybe even seven innings, knowing that so 375 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: much is going to be expected out of your bullpen 376 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: in Chicago and they're down in arm We of course, 377 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: we see the awful update of this Blake Tranon with 378 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: the forearm, and that is one of those those notes 379 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: that just it really makes your heart sink. 380 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: I sent a text to our Dodgers territory thread as 381 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: soon as this happened, and I hate I hate when 382 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 3: I see forearm strain or those types of things, because 383 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 3: to me it means Tommy John. I mean, when you 384 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 3: see the forearmed, left forearm tightness or right forearm tightness, 385 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 3: it's like, oh man, that's usually a precursor to what 386 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: ends up being TJ surgery. Now it looks like Blake Trynon. 387 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: According to what Dave sa our friend is saying here 388 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: that Dave Roberts said, the MRI is just a low 389 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: grade sprain, conservative rehab and no surgery needed now. But 390 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 3: what bothers me is that this club, oftentimes, and they 391 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: have the right to do so, they hold medical stuff 392 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 3: very close to the vest and what starts out as 393 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 3: it's just a low grade strain, no surgery needed now. 394 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 3: When I hear forearm tightness, I just worry. And Blake 395 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 3: Trinan obviously is a big piece of that Dodgers' bullpen. 396 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 3: He was one of the first off season signings to 397 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: come back, and I was so psyched about that. The 398 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: good news here is, if there is a silver lining 399 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 3: on this is I do believe when we discuss this 400 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 3: as well, I believe we have way more closers than 401 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 3: we have starting arms. So it's not as if not 402 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 3: to say that Blake Trinon is not valuable. But you 403 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: have Kirby Yates, you have Tanner Scott, you have Alex Bessia, 404 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 3: you have Anthony Bonda, you have guys in that Evan 405 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 3: Phillips is coming back. You have guys in that bullpen 406 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: that carry his back whatever. You have guys in the 407 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 3: bullpen that are, you know, nailing things down. So I 408 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 3: do hope that in fact we did dodgible and it's 409 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 3: not it's not a big deal. We also have an 410 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 3: update too on Okay, so on the Blakes. What's tell 411 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: me you're going on Blake Trinon and then we'll talk 412 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 3: about Blake. 413 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: I worry, and you know, people in the chat pointing 414 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: out Michael Kopek should be rejoining this team soon enough 415 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: as well. We're probably maybe three or four weeks. It 416 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: seems like we're away from getting Copeck back, hopefully a 417 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: little bit sooner. He needs to face some hitters and 418 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: then go out on a rehab assignment. But yeah, when 419 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: I hear the forearm and it's a forearm sprain, I 420 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: think it was right. Was it sprain or strain? Let 421 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: me look at that. Look at that again. Yeah, so 422 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: see that it's a sprain. That's you know, that's that's 423 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: a tear. That's that's something that is not ideal. And 424 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: the way Blake trying to throws and all that. But 425 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: also it comes down to the Dodgers make me scared, 426 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: Like you're kind of alluding to a little bit there 427 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: outright saying to a degree, the Dodgers they protect their 428 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: medical information, but they also, to their credit, I don't 429 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: expect them to be you know, uh, give everybody access 430 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: to all of the medical information of each of their players. 431 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: But they lie, they lie, They they are very creative 432 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: with the words that they choose. Dave is a great 433 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: politician when it comes to this. One of the things 434 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: I love about him, you know, and his davisms. But 435 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: I really do worry about trying and and the fact 436 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: that we hadn't seen him up to a week before 437 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: that point. And of course he starts picking up a 438 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: ball and warming up during the the Kirby Yates loss 439 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: on Saturday gave me a little bit of hope, and 440 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: then the next day we hear this forearm thing. Uh. 441 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm hoping the information that they have shared is accurate, 442 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: that dodged a bullet, that it's not the end of 443 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: the world, and that he can come back with some 444 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: rest and recovery. But if we're talking about a sprain, 445 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: it could be a couple of weeks. You know, it 446 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: could be maybe even a month or two before we 447 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: see Blake trying back, if not more. Luckily, they piled 448 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: up on all those pitchers in the off season. 449 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: You know, you can never have too much pitching. I 450 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 3: remember we were like, oh my god, we have so 451 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 3: many arms. Now I'm like, oh my goodness, what are 452 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 3: we doing? Blake snell I thought it was going to 453 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 3: be missing two starts. That's not the case. He had 454 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: an update with Bill Plunkett, and he said, the pain 455 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 3: lingers here and there. Once I get throwing, I'm good. 456 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: When I play catch, I don't feel it. It's like 457 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: when I wake up, I gotta get going. Bill Plunkett, 458 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 3: of course, covers the team for the Orange County Register. Yeah, 459 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 3: he hasn't thrown off of a mound. He's going to 460 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 3: throw another bullpen session. Timeline for facing hitters it's still 461 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: out there, so I don't know. 462 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I had the Snell I can't find 463 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: the Snell graphic, so you got the important parts out there. 464 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm okay with them taking it cautiously with 465 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: their high priced investment from the off season. Blake Snell 466 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: is not used to the Dodger wave, so for him 467 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: to say, I'll probably dismiss like a start and be fine. No, 468 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: like slow your role. You don't get to say that 469 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: kind of stuff when you're wearing a Dodger uniform. Chances 470 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: are feels like we're closer to missing a month, you know, 471 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: three four starts or something like that, which I mean 472 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: you can survive. You wish you can get a little 473 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: bit more out of Like you said, the b squad, 474 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: your Rebleski's your your Bobby Miller's the next wave of dues. Yeah, 475 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: Land and Knak who is better in a second start. 476 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: Still not great, but we're getting closer to seeing the 477 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: next wave of the minor league guys. There's Nick Frosso 478 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: who's around. I haven't looked at what his numbers, what 479 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: he's done so far at Triple A. But he's back 480 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: from you know, missing a season with with a shoulder 481 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: injury and surgery. Jackson Ferris is one of the top 482 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: prospects pitching prospect prospects in baseball for a reason, because 483 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: he is disgusting, he's filthy, he's nasty, and he is 484 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: somebody who could fill in some innings if needed, if 485 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: Snell needs to take more time. And of course Tony 486 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: Gonsolin will be back probably next week. I think he'll 487 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: be back on the homestand and Clayton Kershaw about a 488 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: month away from returning, and Machine probably about a month 489 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: and a half, two months away, like we talked about 490 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: last week. Slowly the depth will continue to improve for 491 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: this team, probably two two and a half months for 492 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: show Hay as well.
