1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Obviously, Tony Gonsolin is going to be on the Dodgers' 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: opening day roster. That to me is a given, but 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: I would be shocked if it wasn't Dustin as the 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: fifth starter. And again it might be on a rotation basis. Hey, everybody, 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: it must be Thursday, because this is a live, fresh 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: edition of Dodgers' Territory.

Let's get there. I have to say 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he disappointed. I was very much looking 17 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: forward to how he handled things outside of the bubble, 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: if you will. Pretty good. Final line three innings again 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: back to back or excuse me backing up. Yamamoto two hits, 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: one walk, no earned runs. You gotta love that, and 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: you also gotta love the fact that he had five punchouts. 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pretty good, pretty good final line 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: for a guy that is pitching in the big league 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: level for the first time in a spring training game. Again, 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't put any you know, emphasis so much on results, 26 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: but it was good to see him get out there 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: outside of that you know, controlled environment if you will. 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he looked really good. I think we 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: saw some nerves early on in the outing, but he 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: found it. The fastball sitting around ninety eight ninety nine, 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: the splitter looking as disgusting forkball really is what it 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: should be called, but we'll call it the splitter. Quieted 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: anybody who had concerns about Sasaki and where he's at 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: and how the Dodgers were kind of, we could say, 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: hiding him in the background. Of course, like you had 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: mentioned the b game on the backfield against the intra 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: squad plus the White Sox, well, here you had a 38 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: team that trying to beat his ass down and they 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: could not. And some dudes, obviously a couple guys gave 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: gave the baseball a ride. A couple of foul balls, 41 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: very very loud strikes, but otherwise, when he decided to 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: turn it on and dominate, he did that. So seeing that, 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: seeing Roki uh with stuff versus big league hitters, it 44 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: was impressive and it makes me feel a whole lot 45 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: better about a starting rotation. 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 3: I already felt pretty dang good about. 47 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: It's funny because you talk about the starting rotation. We'll 48 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: throw off that graphic here in just a second. But 49 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: what I like about the fact is that many are saying, 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Clint that Roki Sasaki is the best in terms of 51 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: stuff of all three of the Japanese born pitchers that 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: the Dodgers have, which is pretty deep, pretty deep, pretty 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: hard to say. So do you think that in his 54 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: spring training debuts are the stuff that you saw last 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: year with Yoshinobu Yama Moto? Do you think that Yama 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: looked as good as Roki did in his first If 57 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: we're going to go ahead and compare, because that's what 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: we do on these shows, right, Let's just compare everybody. 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what we have. 60 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: We only have history to work off of, and Yamamoto 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: definitely was. I think he had a little bit more struggles. 62 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: I think there was also just a lot when you're 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: talking about, you know, the price difference between the two pitchers, 64 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty five million dollars or whatever it 65 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: was for Yamamoto and all the expectations. He was also 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: working on some things that the Dodgers were kind of 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: working on, changing his delivery a little bit. He's also 68 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: getting used to the baseball was Yamamoto last year, So 69 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: the numbers weren't very good, and then we also saw 70 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: that in his debut outing Game two against the Padres, 71 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: you know, five earned runs, one inning and then he's out. 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: Of course, everything got better after that point. So I 73 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: think the Dodgers kind of learned a little bit about 74 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: how to get some of these guys over here acclimated 75 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: adjusted to the baseball, the mound, the environment. The Dodgers 76 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: players have been doing a great job getting these guys 77 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: acclimated as well. We've talked before about you know, Mookie 78 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: Bets working with like somebody like hesse On Kim kind 79 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: of getting getting the crowd involved out there at camel 80 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: Back Ronch, come on, let's go, let's go Dodgers, all 81 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. 82 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: The Dodgers have learned a lot on how to. 83 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: Manage like game situations or managed situations in in you know, 84 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: here in spring training, but also even last year heading 85 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: into the postseason and all that stuff we've talked about. Hey, leave, 86 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: leave the wives, leave the girlfriends at home. Let's focus 87 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: on being here. Let's be boys for the next three 88 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: weeks and try to go win this thing. And now 89 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: here they are a year later, using all the information 90 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 2: they have to try to get Sasaki in the best 91 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: spot to potentially start Game two against the Cubs. 92 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: There for for the Dodgers in Tokyo. 93 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: All right, Well, Jason Gionaros wants to call it the splorkeball, 94 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: the splitter and fourball. So that's fine, Jason, you better 95 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: go ahead and trade and mark that bad boys splorkball. 96 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Let's see what Roki Sasaki himself, Clint had to say 97 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: after his first spring training outing as a Dodger. 98 00:04:52,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: What w see studied? I'll say. 99 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 5: A couple of things I noticed with big league hitters. 100 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 5: They do hit mistakes, and they do take some some 101 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 5: splits that I threw. But I did feel really good 102 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 5: about being able to, you know, jam some hitters, and 103 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 5: as long as I throw quality pitches, I should be 104 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 5: able to get these guys out. 105 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 3: That's what we say. 106 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Thank you Kisaki and thank you will Ireton. Uh will 107 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: the thrill. You know, it's one thing for Roki to 108 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: say what he said. Of course you want to hear 109 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: from the horse's mouth, if you will, or actually through 110 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: Will Ireton. But that's another time. How about what Dave 111 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: Roberts Clint had to say about Rokie Sisaki's outing. He 112 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: was saying, basically the best that they've seen from him. 113 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about the fact that we have 114 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: seen him in bullpen sessions, we've seen him in live BP. 115 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: We've also known that they're kind of coddling him, if 116 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: you will, for lack of a better phrase, but this 117 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: is the first time that we've seen him in compete mode, 118 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: according to Dave Roberts, and it's the best that we've 119 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: seen him. You've got to feel good about what the 120 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: Skips had Skip had to say. 121 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, when when Dave feels good, I'm going to feel 122 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: good about somebody out there. 123 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 3: Also. 124 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes we know Dave has to kind of guide these 125 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 2: people into confidence. But I feel really really good about 126 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: Sasaki and where he's at. The stuff looks nasty, The 127 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: stuff looks as advertised, you know, we saw this. 128 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 3: Graphic going around online. 129 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: The release point for all of the pitches had the slider, 130 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: splitter and four seam are going did Rokie against the 131 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: Reds the other night? 132 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: And the release point that hand. 133 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: Is staying right there. That is that it's staying about 134 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: in the same spot. That's telling you the deception is there. 135 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 2: Batters are going to have a hard time, a very 136 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: difficult time reading this baseball coming out of the hand. 137 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: And again we saw it in some of the some 138 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: of the pitches, some of the at bats. One of 139 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: the guys looking absolutely foolish, just throwing a sword out 140 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: there with his with his bat, trying to hopefully make 141 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: some sort of contact and stay alive. But you know, 142 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: baseball's four or five inches under the bat. The stuff 143 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: was disgusting. Roki is disgusting, and you know, to to 144 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: like you said, to think that he could be somebody 145 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: who ends up being the best of the three Japanese 146 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 2: stars on this team, it's it's got to be daunting 147 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: for everybody else in the league to think about. 148 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pretty scary proposition, and think about the fact, 149 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: of course that the opposition doesn't have much of a 150 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: book on Roki Sasaki. I mean, of course, you can 151 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: watch all the video that you want. You can go 152 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: back to the World Baseball Classic, you can see what 153 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: he's done in terms of videos and those types of things. 154 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: But until you're standing in the box and you're facing 155 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: this guy that has that splitter that Clint talks about, 156 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: that has that fastball, obviously, and they're going to continue 157 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: to work with him and mold him into the picture. 158 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: He really wants to be at the big league level. Remember, 159 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: he could have waited to have been posted and made 160 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: a lot more money, but he wanted to get out 161 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: of Japan and pitch in the big leagues. And he's 162 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: a work in progress. He is a mold that the 163 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: Dodgers will continue you to mold into what they think 164 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: he can be in terms of talent wise. But how 165 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: scary it could be with the three headed monster of 166 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: the Japanese born pitchers. Not to mention all of the 167 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: other starters in the Dodgers' rotation, Clinton, you and I 168 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: talked about it with Sarah, our producer. Throw up that graphic. 169 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: As far as the options for starters in the Dodgers' rotation, 170 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: it's disgusting. No lack of no lack of star power, 171 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: and no lack of talent. Of course, the factor is 172 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: how healthy is everybody going to be? We get that, 173 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: But look at this starting rotation option as far as 174 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: that is concerned, and holy moly, I mean that's pretty impressive. 175 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of bounty of options there for 176 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: this team. Of course, a couple of guys not going 177 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: to be ready for opening day Clayton Kershaw show, Hey 178 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: o Tani, but they still have enough pitching. I think 179 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: we can talk about that when we come back, but 180 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: first we should hear from our buddies Eric Kratz and 181 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: Scott Braun about Arena Club ft fam. 182 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: If you love ripping packs of cards, there is a 183 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 6: modern way to do that now on Arena Club with 184 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 6: their slab packs and crats.

Guys click on the links, 206 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: do those kind of things. That also helps us keep 207 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: things going and keeps a light on here at Dodgers 208 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: Territory and so on and so forth. But Alana, we 209 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: were talking before the show about the fact that this team, 210 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: you know, we got a couple more days, a couple 211 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: more games left before they need to really be in 212 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: tokyo mode and and you know we'll get back to 213 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: the rotation options there. It feels like we've seen everybody 214 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: that's going to well, of course we've seen everybody's going 215 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: to play an important part, an important role for this 216 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: team on opening day, and starting rotation should be about 217 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: five starters. I will throw that graphic back up because 218 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: it's fun. It should be the five starters. We know 219 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: Blake Snell's going to be in there. We know Tyler 220 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 2: Glasnew is going to be there. We know yosh Yoshinobu 221 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: Yamamoto is getting that opening day Nod Sasaki probably one 222 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: step closer after that, but then you have a little 223 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 2: bit more competition for that number five spot. I think 224 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: Landon Nak he ends up on the opening day roster. 225 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: I think he ends up in a bullpen roll, which 226 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: we'll talk about more later. But look in between Gonsolin 227 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: and May, just as it was when we entered spring training, 228 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: these are a couple of guys that are fighting for 229 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: a role, battling for a role. D May getting the 230 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: ball again today at camelback or wherever they're playing. But 231 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: I want to point out we have not talked a 232 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: whole lot about the catman this offseason and into spring training. 233 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: Tony Gonsolin has looked pretty good in his small sample 234 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: size here in spring training, and I think he needs 235 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: more love. He's somebody was an All Star in twenty 236 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: twenty two, is very very good when he's healthy, and 237 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: he has been healthy longer in his career than Dustin May. 238 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: What do you think about the the I mean, I. 239 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Think that that's like half dozen on one side, six 240 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: on the other. 241 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: Right. 242 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they both have had their injury woes. But 243 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: I will say this, I would be shocked if it 244 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: wasn't Dustin May in that fifth spot. Obviously, Tony Gonsolin 245 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: is going to be on the Dodgers' opening day roster, 246 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: That to me is a given. But I would be 247 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: shocked if it wasn't Dustin as the fifth starter. And again, 248 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: it might be on a rotation basis. I think obviously 249 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: that both of these guys have to get built up. 250 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't think any any spots are locked except one 251 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: through four, So it may be you might see a 252 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: rotating you know, a revolving door there if you will, 253 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: in terms of the fifth spot, but I wouldn't be 254 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: surprised if it's d May there in that fifth spot, 255 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: just because he's looked really good and the fact that 256 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: he is healthy, Thank goodness, he's okay, and I think 257 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: maybe Tony Gonsolin, Although I believe Dustin May has built 258 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: better for the bullpen, I think Gonsolin comes out of 259 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: the bullpen at least to start the year. Why do 260 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: you think it is that we're not talking as much 261 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: about Gonsolin? Do you think that's because, as you said 262 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: earlier today in our pre pro meeting, that he's doing 263 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: his job. So he's since he's not ruffling feathers, that's 264 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: a good thing. 265 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 266 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's somebody that is showing up 267 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: to work, ready to play, ready to work, ready to 268 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: do his job, and just kind of be the middle 269 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: reliever for this Dodgers starting rotation. We know middle relievers 270 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: when they're doing their job, you don't hear shit from them. 271 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 2: You don't have to hear from them. They don't talk 272 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 2: to media, they don't you know, have a bunch of 273 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: questions thrown their way. 274 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,479 Speaker 3: So Tony Gonsolin also. 275 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: Just generally a quiet dude as it is, doesn't want 276 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: the spotlight, and he is not coming off of all 277 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: of the headlines that Dustin May has had over the 278 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 2: last couple of years. You know, Tony, it's one elbow injury. 279 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: It's Tommy John. He also pitched through that injury part 280 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two because the team was so riddled 281 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: with injuries on the pitching staff, so he kind of 282 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: took one and wore it for the team. But he 283 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: again to me, I have the reverse view of where 284 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: you're at when it comes to the fifth starter competition, Tony, 285 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: in my opinion, is the lock, just because, like you 286 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: also said there, I think Dustin May's future profiles better 287 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: in the bullpen. It seems like his body is not 288 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: ready for the riggers of a in every fifth day, 289 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 2: every sixth day, trying to go out there and let 290 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 2: it eat for five or six innings. You just give 291 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: him a fastball and a slider. Give me twenty five 292 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: pitches every couple of days, and Dustin May can absolutely dominate. 293 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: As we're Tony Gonsolin is somebody who again has been 294 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: an All Star, has led the team sixteen and one 295 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: a couple years ago in era just a bit over 296 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 2: to When he's right, he's good. He's another dude with 297 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: the forkball fastball, and he has the ability to give 298 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 2: this team length and stay in the rotation. And that's 299 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: a big thing I don't think they want to have 300 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: to keep bouncing back and forth getting different guys in 301 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: and out of there. Sure they're going to need to 302 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: and injuries are going to happen, But if you have 303 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: one guy just kind of be there day in, day out, 304 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: week in week out, I think that's something that really 305 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: really helps Tony that when he's healthy and he's right, 306 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: he is very very good. And to stash him in 307 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: a five or six spot for this team, wo, that 308 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: is sexy. 309 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: What do you think about this? Just some unconventional thinking, 310 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: kind of thinking outside the box here, if you will. 311 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: We talked a lot about how the Dodgers last season. 312 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Dave Roberts about this specifically 313 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: on Monday when you and I are out there exclusively 314 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: with the sit down with Dave. We're doing a foul 315 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: Territory from Dodgers camp too on Monday, so stick with 316 00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: us for that. But what do you think about the 317 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: non traditional approach of perhaps piggybacking those two in terms 318 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: of maybe Dustin May comes out and gives you two 319 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: innings and then you get five from the catman, or 320 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: he gives you the twenty five thirty pitches that you're 321 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: talking about and then, and I don't know. I mean, 322 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: is that you don't want to blow out your bullpen. Obviously, 323 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: you only have a certain amount of roster spots and 324 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: a certain amount that you can have in the lineup 325 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: and in the bullpen and all those types of things. 326 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: But is there a piggyback situation in your in your 327 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: mind for these two to get them built up, to 328 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: keep them, you know, keep them healthy in those types 329 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: of things. 330 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's more than just for these two. 331 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: And I think I'll preface this by saying, you know, 332 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: the days are gone of us seeing Dodgers pitchers at 333 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: least go out there for thirty starts and two hundred innings. 334 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: Those days are dead. 335 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: Least this team has the amount of starting pitching that 336 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: they acquired and picked up along the way, whatever it is. 337 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: They have all these arms for a reason. They want 338 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: to keep people happy, healthy on the mound. And what 339 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: we saw in Rokie's debut hey before him for four 340 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: innings was a Yoshinobu Yamamoto appearance. 341 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: And they have enough arms. 342 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: They have enough length arms with Dustin May, with Gonsolin, 343 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: with Landon nak Ben Kittsparius as somebody we'll talk about 344 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: in a second who looks to be a lock for 345 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: this team, but can give this team multiple innings as well. 346 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: We could see that be a way, especially early in 347 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: the season, to keep starters healthy and more kind of 348 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: slower in their build up because it was a short 349 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: spring training. We could see them kind of go to 350 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: that piggyback route, maybe four or five innings for your starter, 351 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: then you have a bulk guy give you two or three. 352 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: And the bullpen itself is super thin right now when 353 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: they're going to be missing guys like Evan Phillips, Michael Kopek, 354 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: let's throw Michael Grove in there, Bruce dark Graderol, there's 355 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: a lot of injuries that keep them from some of 356 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: those high leverage back into the bullpen guys. So this 357 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: is where those starters, the more built up dudes, could 358 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 2: help out and you know, bridge that gap to. 359 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: A ninth inning and to a win and all that 360 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. 361 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: So I think we could see very, very creative, see 362 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: the Dodgers get even more creative than we're used to 363 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: when it comes to starting pitching. 364 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: Does a healthy Clayton Kershaw, who appears to be ready 365 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: to return to a big league mound in June. Does 366 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: a healthy Clayton Kershaw complicate this whole situation even more? 367 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it feels like a good problem to 368 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 2: have when you could just plug in a future Hall 369 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: of Famer in the form of a Clayton Edward Kershaw 370 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: and he's gonna go out there and give you how 371 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: many innings and how many more strikeouts he needs to 372 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: reach three thousand? 373 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: Complicate? Probably? 374 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: I think it complicates it to a degree. But listen, 375 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 2: we know how how things go for the Dodgers these days. 376 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: There's going to be injuries. Tyler Glass now missed, you know, 377 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: the last two months of the season, three if you 378 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: count the postseason. 379 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was super happy about them shutting him down 380 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: to Yeah, it's like it's. 381 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 3: A little bit awkward, you know. 382 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: Blake'snell missed some time last year. Yamamoto missed some time 383 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 2: last year. Rookie Susaki hasn't pitched over I think one 384 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five one hundred and twenty nine innings 385 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 2: in a year in his life. Tony Gonslin missed all 386 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: of last year. Dustin May has missed a better part 387 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: of the last five seasons or four seasons. 388 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: The point is that I think you're trying to make 389 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: you never have enough arms. 390 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: You never have, never have an aparms, just like you 391 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: told us last year, Boda, almost a year ago, as 392 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: we near the one year point of Dodgers territory, that 393 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 2: you can never have too much pitching starting pitching. This 394 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: team did not want to have to deal with what 395 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: they dealt with last year. And that's what Andrew Freeman 396 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: told us, told everybody a couple of weeks ago or 397 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, like we don't want to 398 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 2: be buyers at the trade deadline, so let's get a 399 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: bunch of people. And you know, if if we're looking 400 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: at Clayton Kershaw as a complication, I love to see 401 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 2: that for this team. 402 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: No doubt. Anytime Kershaw is in the next I would. 403 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: And just even seeing that video, thank you to Bill 404 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: Plunkett for posting that so we could steal it. I'm 405 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: gonna be taking so much video when I'm out there 406 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: on Monday and Tuesday, I'm gonna be obnoxious and I 407 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: can't wait to see, uh see there, see the team 408 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: and all the things and the fans and if you 409 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: guys are in Glendale. By the way, Uh, those of 410 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: you listening and watching to Dodgers Territory, now come and 411 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: say hi to Clinton and I and AJ and the 412 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: whole Foul Territory crew is going to be out there too. 413 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: We'd love to see you and thank you in person 414 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: for being a part of our show. All right, So 415 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: the bullpen, we thought, I swear to you on Monday. 416 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: This is why, this is why baseball gods are like, haha, 417 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: watch this. So on Monday I said, I felt better 418 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: about this bullpen then I had felt about a Dodger's 419 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: bullpen going into a season in recent memory. Right, Well, 420 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: now it's a little bit disintegrated because we have some 421 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: news obviously that Kopek threw his first bullpen. When the 422 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: team goes to Japan, Evan Phillips will stay back. He's 423 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: gonna face hitters, so we knew this. Though he's healthy, 424 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 1: he's just not built up. He could be active by 425 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: first second week of April, so you know he's gonna 426 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: miss the first couple of weeks of the regular season. 427 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: Ben Casparius, who I know, you've been high on him, Clint. 428 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: You're really good about the young the young guns coming 429 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: up and then you know the rookies, if you will, 430 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: and the I mean at least the guys that don't 431 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: have a ton of time with this organization. Yeah, he's 432 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: probably gonna be on the opening day roster as a 433 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: multi inning option. Do you still feel as good about 434 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: this bullpen as you did before. 435 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: I mean as we did before. No, because you're missing 436 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: Michael Kopek, You're missing Evan Phillips, You're missing Bruce dark 437 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: Rat or all. So it's definitely not the setup that 438 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: you would like to see. But it's also opening day, 439 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: it's the month of April. It's not something where I'm 440 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: frightened to see Benny Capps getting some important innings early 441 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 2: in the season for this team. Same with Landon Nak, 442 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: who's gonna most likely make that opening day roster. NAC 443 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: has not had a great spring numbers wise. We know 444 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: these guys are out here working on different things, but 445 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 2: at some point you need to have thirteen pitchers on 446 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 2: the roster to go along with the thirteen position players. 447 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: And he is. 448 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: But somebody that is healthy is Landonnac. Where we learn 449 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: now another name missing in action. We will not have 450 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 2: Edgardo Henriquez as an option for the team for at 451 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: least for us hell is. 452 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: A is a mishap away from the field when when 453 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: uh Tom Brady tripped over his dog and then driveway 454 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: when Clint Barmeuslake was carrying a slab a deer up 455 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: up the stairs and hurt himself good the way. What 456 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: are we doing? 457 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I Dave not happy. He did not want 458 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 2: to talk about this. Reporters UH pressed him after the game, 459 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: UH to get some more information, and this is what 460 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: we got. 461 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 3: He had a mishap away from the field. 462 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: And you know, I mean, Alana, you could read Dave, 463 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: you could know when he's not the most happy. 464 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 3: Fellows out there. 465 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: Chances are it was something not bright that Henriquez did, 466 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 2: maybe kicking something out of frustration, or maybe you know, 467 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: a speculation we don't have. 468 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: We don't know what happened. Maybe he's riding a bike 469 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 3: and fell off his bike or something. 470 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: Whatever it is, exactly whatever it is, he broke a 471 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 2: bone in his foot, is gonna miss at least the 472 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: first month and a half of the season, which is. 473 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: A big setback for him. 474 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: You're if you're Edgardo Henry Getz, I'm just I'm just 475 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: spitballing here, wouldn't you put yourself in a bubble and 476 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: just make sure that you don't do anything in the 477 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: world to jeopardize an opportunity to pitch for the Dodgers? 478 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: Uh and break camp with this club? What what are 479 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: you doing? 480 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 481 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 2: I mean ideally you you want to be as as 482 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: safe as possible, but also you know you want to 483 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: go live your life. 484 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 3: And again, we don't know what happened that point. 485 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: If you're not, if you're not Clayton Kershaw, Moogie Bets, 486 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Smell, those big names show.

Listen to These dudes are human. 496 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: They get frustrated. 497 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: Men get frustrated, and we decide to punch and kick 498 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: things to make us feel better. 499 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 3: Doesn't mean but women. 500 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: I love it because women are the emotional ones. 501 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 502 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: Anyhow, let's keep back to the bullpen situation again. I 503 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: still feel like we have enough arms and this is 504 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: a team that is so good about the mixing and 505 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: the matching of using their arms in a different way. 506 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: And this goes back to not the V for victory, 507 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: but the V for versatility because they may have to. 508 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: I always used to call Ross strippling an accordion, and 509 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: I think I've told this story before. If I have, 510 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: I apologize, but it is what it is. I always 511 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: used to call Ross an accordion because they would smash 512 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: him together when they needed him to come out of 513 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: the bullpen or just give him an inning or two, 514 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: and then they would stretch him out when they all 515 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Oh, by the way, you're back in 516 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: the starting irritation again. I think that's there's a lot 517 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: more of this happening in Major League Baseball right now. 518 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's certain guys that are obviously bona fide starters. 519 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: Just asks Alex would if he wants to go to 520 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: the bullpen. 521 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: Again, by the way, because they've been on the same 522 00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 2: teams for the last like. 523 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Three I don't think so. Because because Ross is with 524 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: the Royals, I think on a minor league deal, and yeah, 525 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Kyle farm and Kyle Farmers with 526 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: the with the Rockies, so the whole, the whole, you 527 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: know who I thought. 528 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 2: By the way, Kyle Farmer becoming a major league shortstop, 529 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: Oh yeah that too. Dude who came up as a 530 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 2: catcher hit that that what was it a pinch hit 531 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 2: double to walk off the game or whatever it was 532 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 2: in his debut. I think it was his debut. Some 533 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 2: crazy ass shit happened with some of those guys. By 534 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: the way, I love Ross and he was a big fan. 535 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 3: Of that role he had with the Dodgers, of course, 536 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: big well. 537 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: I love Ross because he's just still quality human being. Anyway, 538 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: The point is a lot has changed in three days. 539 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: And that's and that I think is the bigger picture 540 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: of where we take what we take away from this, 541 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: right Like we're so set on like, Okay, we have 542 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: these pieces, but you have to be able, as I 543 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: mentioned that versatility, you have to be able to bend. 544 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, adapt because you have to. 545 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: Again, we're really going to talk to Dave about this. 546 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: Clint and I are going to go with our producers 547 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: and talk about certain situations over the course of the 548 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: five game series in the World series that Dave really 549 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: had to, you know, manage better than he's ever managed before. 550 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: We're looking forward to that.
