WEBVTT - Rushing to IL, Dodgers Get Busy at the Trade Deadline

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.760
<v Speaker 1>How about your grade at this trade to line.

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I give it a tea for Trekscooble. You got the

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 2>guy everybody wanted.

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody, and welcome to a late edition on this

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>trade deadline, a brand new episode of Dodgers Territory. I'm

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Alana Rizzo. That is Clint Pesis. Katie Wu, of course

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is with the Dodgers in Chicago, or at least working

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>something Dodger related. Katie Wu is doing great to have

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys with us. Love to hear your thoughts about

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline that was today for the Los Angeles

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers as well as any other contending team. Just kind

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of the day in review, if you will, your general

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>thoughts about it. Clint, good to be with you. Benny

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Biceps is back. I know you were clamoring for this

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>more than even Trek Scooble. You love this dude. He

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is back. It makes sense. And there's even more news

0:00:59.360 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>though on.

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>The Yeah, there's a lot going on on the catcher

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>front here. Well, we'll get it all out of the way,

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll set the stage and then we'll talk about it.

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 3>But like you said, they get Ben Rohertvetdbeck back.

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 2>This morning from the from the Mets, sending over Chase McDermott,

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>who had been dfa'd a couple of days ago. We

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>also see them bring back another familiar face as I

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>fixed this tweet before putting it on the screen, Katie.

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Amongst those confirming first on it was Jorge Castillo, that

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Fordusia Dodger who was you know, Dodger Catcher who

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>they traded away last year. Funny enough for Ben rohurtved

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 2>and and a few other people whose names escape me

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 2>right now. Paul Gervais, but he is coming back to

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>the team and the reason why Elana is Dalton Rushing heading.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 3>To the IL We have a mild.

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Elbow strain, as you know, Sonya Chen reports here. A

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>number of other people also reporting this. We knew yesterday

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>he was scratched from the starting lineup, did not fly

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:03.559
<v Speaker 2>with the team to Chicago. Rushing got an issue there

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 2>in that throwing arm. I don't know what the concern

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>level is for you, but you know, anytime they try

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>to downplay it, I get that heightened sense of.

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It does make me a little bit nervous, just because

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of the A couple of things we know that the

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers like to hold injuries close to the vest right.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it went from will Smith not going on

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the IL to will Smith being decapitated. And I kid

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>about that, but it's like, obviously Willy will William Dill

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Smith is coming back soon, but we didn't think he

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was going to have an eyele stint, not terrek'schoogle. Tyler

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>glasnow was not going to go on an IL or

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe miss us start and we're still waiting for him

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to come back. So again, they don't owe us that transparency.

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>They know what they're doing, and obviously Andrew Friedman knew

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>what he was doing and acquiring these two catchers. As

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>far as backups are concerned, I'm a little concerned about

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>can you throw up Sonia's tweet again? Please? Because anytime

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 1>I hear mild elbow strain, now I understand it's different

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>when it's a catcher versus a pitcher. When I hear

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 1>it in a picture, it really makes me nervous. But still,

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, mild elbow strain for a catcher who throws

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot has to throw that ball back quite a bit,

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it does make me a little bit nervous. So obviously

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>the acquisition, the return of Ben Rurtvitt, the acquisition of

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Fadusia. Again, I'm glad to see that, but it

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>makes me still I'm still not pleased, I guess or

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel comfortable with our catching position right now

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>with Dalton Rushing Rushing on the IL, Will Smith not

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>quite back yet. Now our starting staff is Ben Rhurtvett

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and Hunter Fiducia. At least our active roster staff in

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>terms of catchers is concerned. So I'm a little nervous

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>about that, but at least we have two people that

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>know the staff and have some experience on the roster.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Now, yeah, that's a big one.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, they did say Dave did say before

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>the game today, which is coming up very soon, so

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>we appreciate you guys hanging out with us. But he

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 2>did confirm that Rushing will be the guy I added

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to the active roster. He's going to be a guy

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>to take down quote the Lion's share of playing time,

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 2>and I think with where they're at right now, we

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>might see I don't know if they've made it official

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>yet up to this point, but we do know that

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Rushing is on the IL and I'm trying to pop

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>up the rest of things right now, I don't think

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 2>they're going to want to survive the day with just

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>eliezer Alfonso as their catcher. So I know Chuckie Robinson

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 2>was with the team today. If he is going to

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>be activated and added to the twenty six man active roster,

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna need somebody to catch down at the Triple

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>A level. So I think Hunter Fraducia is actually a

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>minor league play potentially.

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I say that you didn't have a just coming over

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 2>from doing another show, so I don't know exactly where

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 2>he's at in terms of being able to be optioned

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 2>to Triple A. I do believe he still has option

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>years and he might have even been at Triple A

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>with them.

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 3>But it seems like you're more like likely to see.

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Rushing, sorry not Rushing, more likely to see Vet and

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>eliezer Alfonso being your catchers the big league level then.

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>And then okay, and then Hunter Faducia goes down to

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Triple A and catches the Triple A squad. Well, all right,

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>so that is that. But I do want to say this.

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I would also before we continue on on our show,

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I would like to toast you and to toast Katie

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and to toast the Dodgers front office forgetting Tarik's scooble

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>uh for a bag of balls. And again, no disrespect

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to those folks that were traded, but cheers.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I am drinking.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>You're the one that brought attention to it. Nobody asked you,

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody said anything until you. You're you're the word. You're

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the one that brought attention to you.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 3>I know these.

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>But for three guys that hopefully have success elsewhere, but

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>for three guys that have don't necessarily have certainty in

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the future of this organization, I think it's such a

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>tremendous deal. Trek's will said it himself today. Guys that

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody could have traded for him, and he's not matt

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously at the Dodgers for doing what they did. And

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>anybody that knows anything about this game, anyone that's a competitor,

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Ask Bryce Harper, ask all these other guys that are

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.679
<v Speaker 1>really competitive and very good in this great game of ours.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 1>They're not upset at the Daughters. The people that are

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>upset at the Dodgers or the other owners and the

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>other fan bases, because the Dodgers are a destination and

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.119
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers' front office will spend the money. But anyway,

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to I don't want to repeat what

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. But he is supposed to start what Tuesday. No,

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting wasted. I literally just open this bottle

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of wine. Michael Magrette fifty eight to seventy five.

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So that's that, okay, And yeah, yeah, I really like

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>him saying that. By the way, at schoo Ball, pointing

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 2>out any team could have traded for him, it was

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>it was the Brewers that opted to you know, they

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>felt that that you know, just a little too high

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 2>in their prospect capital.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's probably.

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Because they didn't feel willing to spend the money to

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, potentially try to sign him, re sign him,

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>extend him in the off season. That's on them. That's

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 2>on them for not wanting to spend the money. The

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Brewers make a lot of money. They it is a

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, nice ballpark, great city, all that kind of stuff.

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Allegedly, I don't know, I haven't been there.

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>We do know the slide attacks David Vesse at least

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>once in his lifetime.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 3>But like they have money to land an.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Ace or keep an ace with them and they're not

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 2>going to spend it on the Miz. You didn't see

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>him send it, spend it on Freddy Peralta. You didn't

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 2>see him spend it on Devin Williams. You could spend

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>it on somebody they don't want to.

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what's you know, what's crazy to me more

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>than the fact that we got Trek Scooble, which is awesome,

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is the fact that Eric Lower is still on our roster.

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>That surprises me more than the Dodgers landing Schooble.

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, is that Lower.

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad he's been great for this team, but I

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>did not see that coming.

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, now that that is definitely a little bit of

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 2>a surprise, just because after well, let's talk about the

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 2>other trade they made, because some people might have some

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 2>confusion about.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 3>How this works.

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>But the Dodgers also traded for left handed pitcher former

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>All Star Chris Bubitch, so you could.

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 3>Say, boo, bitch, get out the way. But he is

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 3>currently hurt. He is on the sixty day I OL.

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>He is not ready to return for best case scenario

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 2>end of August. So he's kind of somebody who maybe

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>eat some innings in September, could audition to be a

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>bullpen swing arms, somebody like that. If he can be

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the best thirteen or fourteen pitchers available by

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the time this team is playing baseball in October, playing

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 2>baseball a playoff baseball, then he could be an option.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 2>But for now he is not somebody that would have

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>supplanted Eric Lauer or supplanted Ammachian. Instead, it is Lower

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 2>that supplants Ammachian because the Dodgers optioned Ammachian today. And

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 2>this comes a day after on My All Dodgers Show,

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 2>I was calling for it. I did not think he

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>would make another start, especially hearing the way Dave was

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about him. But Lawer does not move to a

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 2>bulk roll relief role. Instead, he will remain in that

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>starting rotation, potentially start on Wednesday.

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 3>The day after Trek Scooble. And this is the right call.

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I understand you could have got something from of value

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>out of Eric Lower, but to me, Riz having somebody

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 2>around that is well, one, he's performing for this team,

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>but two, it's just it's a safety net for show.

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Heyo Tani and his knee telling him take your time, bro.

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Same with Ted Tyler Glasnow take your time. That to

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>me with the uncertainty of the offseason and trying to

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 2>get this team and this roster as healthy and as

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>possible to get to the postseason. Having somebody around that

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>could eat inning equality innings that means a lot.

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad. I'm glad he's still on this team. I

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't think that would happen. Of course, I also didn't

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>know about some other moves that the Dodgers are going

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to be making. But I do think that he is

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>good for that innings eating situation that you were talking about.

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And I know that you've been clamoring and saying, hey,

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, let show hey sit for a week.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Well they're obviously not going to do that. But in

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the event that something does get you know, creeps up

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>even more if the knee gets worse, or the biceps

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, Eric Lauer is a great piece to help

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of, you know, tie it over until Otani is okay.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you a question before we move on here.

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 1>What do you think Shean needs to do? But I

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>know you love to break down the pitching side of things.

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>He's not been good, okay, And I'm not surprised that

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.439
<v Speaker 1>he was optioned. I actually am surprised that he didn't

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 1>go in a trade someplace because I don't think this

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>is his this is his entire body of work. This

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>is not Emmett Shean's future. But right now he has

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>not been the best that he can be. What do

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>you think he needs to do differently? Why do you

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's been struggling so much?

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a great question. It's question the Dodgers are asking

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 2>themselves too. You look at the numbers, you know, a

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 2>season after you know, he had a great season in

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, the stuff was there, The velocity was

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 2>there on the fastball. This year, you look at the numbers,

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 2>e er pushing five to three, and the fastball it's

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 2>so inconsistent.

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 3>The velocity has been down.

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>And he is somebody who needs that fastball velocity for

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.439
<v Speaker 2>the other pitches, for the slider in particular, to be

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 2>a weapon for him. The fastball has been so incredibly

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>hittable that he can't really get to, you know, a

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 2>leverage situation to break off a good slider. You know,

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>it's been a good, really good strike pitch for him

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 2>well early in an account, but he's if he's not

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 2>getting himself into those leverage situations, you're wasting your best

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>pitch to get back into account, and that's what I

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 2>think we've seen a lot of with Mitch in this year.

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 3>So if it's I would imagine.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 2>They would have an idea if there was some sort

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>of injury, some sort of nagging, you know, mechanical issue

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it is. But at just be between you know,

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the ears, the nog and bugging him, messing with him

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. So a little bit of a triple

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 2>A reset here, I think does wonders. You know, at

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 2>least we are at a point with this roster and

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the pitching staff to where he's no longer needed. You

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 2>add Trek Scoogle, you keep Eric Lauer, you don't need

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 2>to keep running him out there and you know, potentially

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 2>making things worse for him mentally. But yeah, it's a

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>question they need to figure out for sure what's going on.

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 3>With this dude.

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I feel like it's kind of a Bobby Miller situation.

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 1>If you're talking about between the ears, not comparing the

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>same exact stuff. I'm just saying it kind of a

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Miller situation. And we haven't seen Bobby Miller since

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>so I hope that Emmit Shean can certainly write the

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.079
<v Speaker 1>ship and get some quality innings down there, figure out

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is that ails him. You know again, I

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>want nothing but success for all of these guys. Much

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.240

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 3>We are back.

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk a little bit Moreriz about the

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>whole Ben Rourtvett catching situation, because obviously, yes, I am

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>somebody that has somewhat jokingly, somewhat tongue in cheek and

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 2>also at the same time extremely seriously been a champion

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 2>for Ben Rohtvett to return for this club. I like

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the catch and throw, I like the ability as a

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 2>game caller, but I want to temper people's expectations here, Okay,

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>putting Ben Rourtvett in as your everyday catcher for now

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>or getting the Lion's share. He's not Will Smith, he's

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>not Dalton Rushing. He might not even be Austin Barnes

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago with the bat, if that was anything.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>He is somebody who again is here to be a

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 2>game caller. He is here to be a catch and

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 2>throw guy. First, he's gonna hit nine, He's gonna try

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to keep the line moving. You get some bunts down

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>like he did last year fantastically at times.

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Any offense, you know, it feels like a bonus to me.

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right, and you can do that at

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the catching position. Typically you don't have unless you're calt

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Rawley last year, or unless you are Buster Posey back

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>in the day, or unless you're Yadi or Molina. You

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 1>can go down a certain list. You don't expect offense

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>right from your catcher Adley Richman when he first got

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>called up and he was really having a tremendous year.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Now apparently he's a member of the Boston Red Sox.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, those types of catchers are few and

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>far between. Right, You expect them to be good game callers.

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>You hope that they can manage your pitching staff, not

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 1>only the stuff of the staff, but the personalities of

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the staff. And you're right. I think any offense you

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>get from him, especially when you have such a good

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>offensive club like the Dodgers, is a bonus. But somebody

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that knows the staff and will not have to. I mean,

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a few new guys obviously since Benny Wysseeps was

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>here before. But when you have a guy that knows

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the staff is well as he does as intimately as

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he does, that can only help you moving forward. I mean,

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>we're sitting here on August third, and no, we still

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>have some time, but October's going to be here before

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>we know it, right, So it's important that he doesn't

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 1>have to get caught up. He's already up to speak

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>for the most part in terms of this staff. So yeah,

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. I think any any offense is

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a bonus from him, and that is that is awesome.

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk a little bit about.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Well last thing actually, so Brandon Gomes also spoke with

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>with Beat you know, reporters and all that ahead of

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the game. One of the things he said was with

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Ben Wertvett, they had been considering reacquiring him over the

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 2>last month, but you know, the rushing injury obviously created

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>that need.

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 3>More so, I feel like.

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 2>The rushing injury kind of created the need for Hunter

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Fiducia personally. But yeah, that means something somebody who has

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the familiarity with the staff. I mean, let's Also, you know,

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>not forget I will bring it up every time I

0:16:58.400 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>get that opportunity.

0:16:59.400 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>It.

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers won every game in which he started in

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the postseason. And I'm not saying he deserves a be

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 2>or should be a postseason starter. He was starting wild

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.119
<v Speaker 2>card games while Will Smith was coming back from the

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 2>fractured hand. He also somehow miraculously hit like four to

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine in the postseason last year.

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>But again, I mean he has that postseason experience, right,

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I want to talk a couple of things

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.439
<v Speaker 1>here about in our chat. So I appreciate you guys,

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you know joining us. Limit the pass balls for sure, Yeah,

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you know you definitely don't want that on someone's at

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Rex two tricks. Don't forget about Chris Lyin a badass catcher.

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Yeah, I mean it's like this, this is

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.360
<v Speaker 1>what you want. You want a guy that knows the staff,

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 1>pitch calling, those types of things, and he has that

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 1>postseason experience. That's a beautiful thing. And I said this

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the other day, It's like, remember when y'all's Moanni Grandal

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about past balls. When y'all's Moni Grandal was with

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 1>us Austin Barnes caught the majority of the postseason games

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 1>because he was such a better defensive catcher. And you know,

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and again you love the offense from YASMANI switch hitter.

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>He gave you a lot of really good offense. But

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.959
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason you need really really good defense and

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you really know how to you really need to know

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>how to manage that pitching staff. Let me ask you

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>one more question before we kind of go around the

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 1>league in terms of this trade deadline. I'd like to

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>get your thoughts about kind of some of the bigger

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>moves that other teams made and you know, kind of

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe give the Dodgers a grade in terms of the

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>trade deadline. How long do you think this Dalton Rushing

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>situation has been going on.

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it was pretty recent, like either, I mean,

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he reported it yesterday. I don't know if he had

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 2>been dealing with with it before. You know, performance wise,

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>it hadn't. It didn't seem like it was much of

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 2>an issue for him. He had been hitting and trying

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 2>to get the numbers up on the screen here, but

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 2>he had been kind of on an okay offensive.

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Streak.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I guess two ninety over the last ten games for him,

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of dingers in there, so obviously with him being

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>a left handed batter, that is his throwing arm is

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 2>his lead arm, So you have to wonder if there's

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>any sort of like extension issues there with that forearm,

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>with that that elbow situation. But I really don't think

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it was very long. Probably within the last day or two, honestly.

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>All right. I was just wondering because of the the

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 1>acquisition of Hunter Fadusia, I mean, Ben Rourkfett made sense

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to me because of the delay of getting Will back,

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't I'm thinking Hunter Fiducia obviously with Elie's

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.479
<v Speaker 1>or Alfonso still on the twenty six man, Yeah, I

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>was wondering, like how long may have this been going on?

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 1>Because they obviously thought that they needed another catcher. So

0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, that that being said, let's talk about the

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 1>rest of the league for a hot second. Anybody like

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 1>really any of the I mean, I'm watching you know,

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>X and social all date, I'm like trying to keep

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>up with everything, and you know, was there any any

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.640
<v Speaker 1>any move or any team that made you kind of take,

0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, take a breath.

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 2>And be like, WHOA, I don't know if there's anything

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 2>that was I mean the Padre sneaking up at the

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 2>end to land Casey Mize was a bit of a

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 2>surprise there.

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.439
<v Speaker 3>You know, they got him and then.

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Robbie rayby adding to their starting rotation. There a shocker

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>to a degree. A team that's you know, I wouldn't

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 2>call them exceptionally in the race, but a.

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Peler twenty games out of the wild card is still

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:30.919
<v Speaker 1>going to do stuff.

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 2>He and Jerry Depoto, yeah, I mean they are only

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 2>a game back there, so I could I could understand

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>why you would want to chase But is is that

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 2>roster good enough? Is that offense good enough? Which you

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 2>see here on the screen, it's in the lower rungs

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 2>of offense in baseball.

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting, interesting again for them to push some chips in.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I understand why you would, though, like the core of

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 2>that team is not going to get younger by the

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>time they get to next year, if there is baseball

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 2>next year. Other moves Milwaukee making a couple of you know,

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 2>additions there. You get Dustin May and Jojo Romero from

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 2>from the Cardinals. I think they got another guy as

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 2>well whose name escapes me at the moment.

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Chicago. The Cubs team we face just went right.

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>And hang on, let's see for a second here, old please. Yeah,

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So the Padres got Casey miz engaged workmen. The Tigers

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:34.399
<v Speaker 1>got Cash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf Okay, whatever I mean.

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Cubs get Clay Holmes, Tyrone Taylor, the Mets got Jefferson Rojas.

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.199
<v Speaker 2>If you got the Tyrone Taylor like adding that you

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 2>know him to to that outfit mix, that's I'm.

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Kind I feel bad for Dustin may a little bit.

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Not that he's going to the Brewers. Obviously they're in

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.679
<v Speaker 1>first place in the Annal Central, but I think he

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>really fit in well with the Cardinals. I think he

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 1>was really having a good season there. It kind of

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>seemed to really gel for him. But that Bank said

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Dustin made Jojo Romero go to the Brewers. The Cardinals

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>get Alexander Fries and Josiah Ragsdale. Okay, Astros, this one,

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this one was interesting. So the Astros getting Dalton var

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Show and the Blue Jays got Spencer Araghetty. So they're

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>playing each other today, right, So it's basically like Dalton

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Rushing like walked across the field to get to his

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>new team. And a source told me that when they

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>saw arag Getty, who was like warming up in the

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 1>bullpen or throwing a bullpen something to that effect, and

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.400
<v Speaker 1>found out that he was traded after like throwing a bullpen,

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.359
<v Speaker 1>it was like he had daggers in his lies. He

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>was so pissed. So you got to remember, guys, these

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>are people before they're players first. So but I don't,

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't. I don't really feel like anybody

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my gosh, that's crazy. Yeah, but you

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>can appreciate this was a little interesting to me. Jeff

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Hoffman go into the Twins, I got. I mean, yeah,

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.959
<v Speaker 1>the Twins are still in it. They need a closer, right,

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But they traded everybody at the Trade de Blind last year, right,

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Remember it was like you're thinking, if you're the Twins,

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you're like walking into the the House of bel Air

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and like, where the where the hell is everybody?

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Which, by the way, Jack Flaherty tweeted that today, you

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 2>know the Will Smith looking around his living room.

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like, where did everybody go? They trade? Trade Casey?

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:22.800
<v Speaker 1>That was that was also Mike Trout too, right, so

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.639
<v Speaker 1>that's another team like Joe Adell's gone and Mike Trout

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.919
<v Speaker 1>walks in there like but again, like Mike Trout has

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 1>no trade clause and it is what it is. Like

0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>he could be the only person on the roster and

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.160
<v Speaker 1>he probably still not want to get traded. So yeah,

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Caleb Ferguson keeps moving around. Guys, Caleb Ferguson is now

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>with the Yeah, the International Bonus Pool money.

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was an interesting one there.

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, for for the Cardinals to trade Jojo Ramero

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 2>away like they want to, This was always the plan

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 2>for for heine Bloom and the Cardinals. They wanted to

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 2>be able to move any pieces of value. They need

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild.

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:03.119
<v Speaker 3>That that farm system. They need to start doing that.

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So to get you know, they signed Dustin May with

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the Hope with the goal of him putting together a

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 2>decent enough first half to be able to move him

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 2>for something, and and then again with the Romero as well.

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 2>But for them to add Caleb Ferguson to the mix. Yeah,

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 2>to see this seems weird.

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested in your opinion on this, guys, and Wade

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>in the chat if there's any like trades that were

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 1>like made you scratch your head a little bit. The

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Mariners letting Louis Castillo go.

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, they have so much pitching. They really have

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 3>so much, but.

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna but you're gonna need that though, you're gonna need.

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 3>That in the they have enough.

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Kate Anderson could come up for them like and plug

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 2>right in from Double A, and he needs an opportunity

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.640
<v Speaker 2>as well. And like historically it feels like the Mariners

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.640
<v Speaker 2>have avoided sending their top pitching prospects to Triple A.

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 2>They like to make that jump, so it could be exciting,

0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 2>it could be interesting. Getting Taylor Ward probably helps them

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 2>in that anemic offense a little bit.

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 3>More as well, because you know, he's.

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Not great, but he's somebody that has at least a

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 2>little bit of pop in the bat.

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it wasn't a massive, massive deal our day, I

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>should say. It wasn't like, you know, you had this

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>like crazy crazy uh trade, like a three team trade

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But hopefully the teams that are contending got better,

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully the teams that are pretending, we'll have enough

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 1>pieces in play to start contending in the future.

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully, I'd say, let's do this.

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>We do have another break to get to, but I

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.919
<v Speaker 2>want to keep having this conversation. Obviously, this is just

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:36.959
<v Speaker 2>kind of a hangout show here, just thoughts on this

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline.

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 3>So we'll be back.

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Jump into the comments, everybody, let us know, like Alana said,

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>how you feel about this deadline? Who got better? Who

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.360
<v Speaker 2>got worse? Teams that the Dodgers could face. But we'll

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>be back after another quick word from our friends.

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>It fell.

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Today's episode is sponsored by the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program.

<v Speaker 4>in the business of insurance.

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.399
<v Speaker 1>I want to discuss a couple more teams in this

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>trade deadline that we just finished with about an hour

0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and change ago on this August third. The Boston Red

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Sox are an interesting thing, right for some reason, whatever

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the hell this team is doing, they better bottle it

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>up because it is so difficult to continue this unbelievable

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>streak they are on all the way through, right, But

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:13.919
<v Speaker 1>if they continue to do this and they can get

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.159
<v Speaker 1>into that postseason picture. I mean they already are, but

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:18.199
<v Speaker 1>if they can, who knows, maybe they win the division

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the way that they're playing at this point. But my

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>point is they were able to get Adley Utchmond. Now,

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>he was the number one pick in twenty nineteen for

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Oriols, right, so Adley Retchmond he was unbelievable

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 1>when he first came up. He hasn't been as productive

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 1>as he was when he first came up, but the

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>fact that he has gone to the Red Sox. They

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:45.880
<v Speaker 1>also acquired Giants Lefty Miller for Marcelo Meyer, which says

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot to me because Marcelo Meyer and Roman Anthony

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Clint were kind of supposed to be like the second

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>coming of the Messiah for the Boston Red Sox. Certainly

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Roman Anthony, but Marcella Meyer. They're like, kind of like

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a tandem, and it just hasn't panned out for him now,

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 1>both on the il, but Marcella Meyer just didn't seem to,

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, fit the mold or whatever they thought

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they were going to get for him. So he's gone.

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 1>He's in San Francisco, okay. But you get Miller to

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 1>help as far as your pitching is concerned, and then

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you get Eli White, Okay. So they've added a lot

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of pieces today, the Boston Red Sox did. But I'm

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>interested in your opinion of the acquisition of Adlete Rutchman

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 1>because this is a team that their catching corps was

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Connor Wong and Carlos Narbias yep. Okay, so they needed

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I was actually really interested in Carlos Narbias. I sent

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Friedman a text but to get Carlos Narbias. Do

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you think he ever texted me back?

0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, because he was too busy working on tek' scooble.

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know.

0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 4>What.

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you think the Red Sox are hot right now?

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you like what they did?

0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think it's a good move, you know,

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 3>bringing in somebody.

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Rushman isn't you know, the Adlee Retchmen of years past,

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 2>But he's still putting together a pretty good year they've

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. It feels like they've had I wouldn't say

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>a black hole at Catcher, but they haven't been exceptional

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 2>at the position. The fact that Connor Wong is one

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 2>of their guys is you know, I'm gonna say concerning,

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 2>but they could do better there. Uh and and you know,

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 2>you free up some space for other moves of you know,

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 2>like it's felt like they've had on that roster a

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 2>bunch of good players, but just kind of like weird

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 2>redundancies within the outfield and in the infield, and some

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 2>guys who are kicked out to the outfield because their

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 2>infield is so overloaded, so you know, I know, like

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 2>somebody like Sedane Raphaela has played some infield in the past,

0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe you move him to the infield more so.

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Something like that.

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I can leave him where he is. He's a gold

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>glove outfield.

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Obviously he is exceptional in center field. We just saw

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 2>it this weekend. But yeah, no, I think after watching

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.520
<v Speaker 2>how good they they played the Dodgers this weekend, you know,

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, thank God for Terrek Schoogle because we

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:08.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't really need to process the Dodgers, the Dodgers getting

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 2>swept by the Red Sox. But it's it's definitely something

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 2>where you're you're kind of like, all right, that's a team.

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 3>You put them on the big board.

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, before the season, we did the five NL

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 2>teams to worry about if we're gonna eventually probably after

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 2>this this week, do five teams just all together in

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the league to worry about Boston's up there, And we

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 2>knew they would. They got some solid pitching and defensively

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:34.239
<v Speaker 2>they're they're really really good. And I also on an

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 2>all time heater right now.

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're on it. They're on a friggin I

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they're doing right now. Even Chris, my husband,

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:42.479
<v Speaker 1>who never says anything about anything, was like, what the

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>hell are the Red Sox doing?

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 3>So you know, it won like twenty four games or something.

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It's been, it's been. It's insane. It's insane what they're

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>doing right now. And I'm with you, though, I'm so

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 1>sad it's gotten this. In the chat said Red Sox

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>peaking at the wrong time. They'll come back down to earth.

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that. However, if they can continue to

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>do this and really solidify a wild card spot, it

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make a difference. They just have to get in

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 1>because the American League is so weak this year that

0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>they just have to get in. And right now they're

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>only two and a half games behind the Yankees in

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>terms of the second spot in the Al East. They're

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 1>only five games behind the Rays for the division lead.

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's not insurmountable. Okay, so there is there

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is a chance. But my point is, yes, I agree

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>with you that they're not gonna this is not gonna

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 1>be a sustainable for the remainder of the regular season.

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But all they gotta do is get in, all right,

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested in your opinion as well. And I say

0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that so many times. If I ever listen to our shows,

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody has a crutch. I can't stand listening to myself.

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>That's neither here nor there. The Philadelphia Phillies acquired Luis Arise,

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 1>three time batting champion. I don't understand why this man

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>keeps getting traded. First of all, he's a three time

0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:53.640
<v Speaker 1>batting champion. How I know he doesn't hit the long ball,

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 1>but damn he gets on base. So they are possibly

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>thinking of moving Bryce Harper from first back to the

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>outfield because they have to move the infield around right

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to accommodate the acquisition of Luis Rise. Did the Phillies

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>get better? Are they the team to beat in the

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 1>National League besides the Dodgers? Tell me more thoughts.

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Go I listen.

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 2>It's weird, Like my first thought this morning, watching the

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Phillies and these moves and seeing the decisions that we're

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 2>going to be made.

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what the what the fuck are they thinking here?

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:32.240
<v Speaker 2>They are, like you said, moving Bryce Harper back to

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>right field, where he hasn't played full time since twenty

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty one. You're moving Alec Bohm to from third base

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to first base. Bryson Stott moves from second to third base.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Both of those guys. I mean, at least Bohm has

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.880
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of experience in the past at first base.

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Bryson Stott has not played very much, if at all,

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.959
<v Speaker 2>if any third base there. It just feels like they

0:32:55.000 --> 0:33:00.160
<v Speaker 2>are a team that does not care about defense. He

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 2>doesn't care about the presentation.

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 3>And we've seen it.

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:04.240
<v Speaker 2>We've seen it a couple of times in the last

0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 2>calendar year with you know, Ryan Kirkring throwing the baseball

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to the backstop or JT real Muto.

0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's less of.

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 2>The defense and just more of just, you know, the

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 2>little things playing the game right, not getting yourself picked off.

0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 2>It feels like, you know, I don't know if I

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 2>don't mean this in this way, I don't know back

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 2>in your day as it isn't back in my day

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>right now, where you would have idiots and being like, yeah,

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, why don't why don't the Dodgers just go

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 2>give Barry bonds or something like that.

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like, come on, it's not a fucking reality.

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.719
<v Speaker 1>But but but what what what accent was that exactly?

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 3>That's that's hood. Yeah, it's like that's like Montabello, a

0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 3>little bit of Peico.

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>My people, your people.

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it was a little bit, honestly, a little bit

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 2>of East Lost in there as well, you know.

0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>East Los Angeles.

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like some day fool like I think what they

0:33:58.600 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 3>should do.

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers should just I mean, how many people said, oh,

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 2>just move Dalton rushing to the outfielder. How come Will

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Smith doesn't play first or second because.

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:08.799
<v Speaker 3>They don't play the positions.

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.879
<v Speaker 2>They haven't done it, and the Dodgers don't do dumb

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 2>shit like that, like move these guys out of position

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:16.400
<v Speaker 2>so they can be set up to fail.

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Chris feels like.

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Just ask ask Christian Campbell how he feels about being

0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 1>moved all over the damn field and has he got

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 1>sent back to Triple A and hasn't seen the Big

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 1>League since? Yeah, I mean, the Dodgers put guys in

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the positions to have success. They're not idiots.

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 2>They're not Idiotstzy, Fritzy the dog gets me the Boyle Heights.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Boyle Heights in there.

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Fritzie the dog looks like a cool I was gonna

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 1>say a cool cat, but it's a dog.

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Pico, a little pico in there Pico in me. You know,

0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:48.319
<v Speaker 3>all right?

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So right now, trade deadline be gone. Who's the toughest

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 1>team that the Dodgers would have to face if the

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 1>World Series started. I'm just assuming we're in okay, if

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the World Series started tomorrow, Let's pretend, all right, let's

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>do it this way. Toughest team the Dodgers would have

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to face in the NLCS, and then the toughest and

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>then they advanced. Toughest team they'd have to face in

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the World Series in the americanly Brewers.

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 2>You look at the NLCS the Brewers. But the thing

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 2>is between the Dodgers and the Brewers, the Dodgers are.

0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:23.799
<v Speaker 3>The team that got Trek Schoogle. Brewers did not.

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.239
<v Speaker 2>So once again, I think this is like we saw

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 2>in twenty eighteen, in twenty twenty less, so we've seen

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 2>it over the years. The Dodgers are better equipped to

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 2>survive a seven game series. The five game series is

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a crap shoot. I don't even

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 2>know who they would play right now if the postseason

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 2>started right away. Might be the Diamondbacks, potentially Cubs or

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:50.800
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Either way, I feel good about this

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 2>club against the Cubs of the Diamondbacks and a short series.

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 2>But you know, look at the Brewers, maybe the Braves

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in there. I think the Brewers in the National League though,

0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 2>that's the team gives me a little bit of the frights.

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh. And the American League can't not be.

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Boston, Like, yeah, I think they found something.

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, it could be that they got you know,

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 3>hot too early.

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I do think that's the thing again again it is

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my god, it's only August third. I just

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 1>think that they will get into the postseason. But there's

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.399
<v Speaker 1>no way that this can be sustained for the rest

0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of it, for the rest of the year.

0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you, I don't buy into the Rays that

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:37.800
<v Speaker 2>voodoo bullshit. Yeah, they lead the American League and wins.

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.320
<v Speaker 3>That's that's It's all horseship. Whatever they do, it's horseship.

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Is it voodoo or is it horseship?

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Like voodoo horseship, it's part of it, part of Like how.

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 1>About how lotions and potions? How about your grade for

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers at this trade deadline? I mean, it seems

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 1>silly to even ask.

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Right, I give it a T for Treks Gooogle, you

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:05.840
<v Speaker 2>got the guy everybody wanted, you know, and and you

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:09.160
<v Speaker 2>had an immediate and urgent need at catcher that you

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 2>patched up extremely quickly. You know, like those stupid uh

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 2>what is that the it's not gorilla tape but whatever

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:18.879
<v Speaker 2>it is where the guy's like, oh, there's a hole,

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 2>this water's coming out, and it's like slaps the tape

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:22.920
<v Speaker 2>on online.

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:26.240
<v Speaker 3>That's what they did. They immediately patched that that hole that.

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Could have emerged where we would have seen Elie's er

0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Alfonso or CHUCKI Robinson catching games for the next.

0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:36.240
<v Speaker 3>At least two weeks.

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So for them to be able to jump on that

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 2>that quickly, that was impressive. I am somewhat surprised they

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't find a way to move Alex call but just

0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't line up. And AC ain't hurting nobody outside of

0:37:49.480 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, show Tony's elbow kicking him. He's not hurting

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 2>anybody being on this roster.

0:37:55.160 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 1>So listen, nobody feels worse about that than AC. How

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 1>much time do you have? Can we discuss one more

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 1>thing really quick? Or do you have some plate? Do

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:05.239
<v Speaker 1>you have a pool you need to get into.

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 2>And definitely always need to get in the pool. Well, okay,

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:11.719
<v Speaker 2>we got also some other grades here real quick. So

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Seagell has an A plus Paul plus.

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean honestly, like if you GETL, I think that's

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:19.800
<v Speaker 1>an A. It's an A.

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Dave helps me out. It's flex seal.

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what we're looking for, not a sponsor seal, not

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:25.919
<v Speaker 2>a sponsor, but will take your money.

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, what's the last thing you got?

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it funny? Or is it funny? Because it's funny

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to me? Is it funny to you? How more people

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:38.240
<v Speaker 1>are more pissed off about the Dodgers getting Trek Schoobel

0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and all of the blow up about this and the

0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:43.919
<v Speaker 1>and the blow back about this, and they were about

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the Astros cheating in twenty seventeen that.

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, listen, everybody was cheating. Everybody's cheating, not illegally.

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have no other teams had an entire department

0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:02.479
<v Speaker 2>established just to steal signs and somehow relay them during

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the game. Yeah, people might have been filming stuff. People

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 2>might have found a way to relay some things in

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:09.959
<v Speaker 2>real time. At least when the Dodgers cheat and steal signs,

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 2>they do it the old fashioned way behind second base

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:15.040
<v Speaker 2>trying to relay some things or at the bare minimum

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 2>pretending like they have signs. I mean, you don't even

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:20.279
<v Speaker 2>have signs anymore, but you could still pick up the

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 2>grip in the back of a glove or something like that.

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that why Rosake's glove is the size Mickey Mouse's hands. Yeah,

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>can't tell me. You cannot tell me for one second

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:37.080
<v Speaker 1>that Rokie's flipping glove is not bigger than it's supposed

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 1>to be.

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Would you break? Yeah, I don't know. If it's bigger

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:40.600
<v Speaker 3>than it's supposed to.

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Be, it well, you know what I mean, like it's

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>march it is.

0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 3>It is a it is like it's a co ed

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.879
<v Speaker 3>softball outfield glove. That's that's what I say.

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it works if it if it's something that

0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:57.719
<v Speaker 2>helped them out just a little bit to to hide

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:00.200
<v Speaker 2>that baseball. I was talking about this over the weekend.

0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:03.640
<v Speaker 2>It felt and I need to watch more of the

0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:05.839
<v Speaker 2>tape because it felt to me before like he used

0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to kind of come set and as he was getting

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 2>into his wind and getting ready to deliver, he would

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:13.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of come out and tap like I think he

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:15.440
<v Speaker 2>was doing that, and I think the thing that they

0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:17.239
<v Speaker 2>were trying to fix that because I think with the

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 2>smaller glove he was. He was lifting the ball and

0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't have my props because I took the gloves

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 2>out of the room, but he was lifting the glove,

0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the ball high enough out of the glove. Where that

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:31.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit With these hitters like Kershaw yesterday noticing Andy

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 2>pa has having a different bat, I'm like, these people

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:37.160
<v Speaker 2>are fucking insane.

0:40:36.480 --> 0:40:37.760
<v Speaker 3>The stuff they see.

0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, it's like I've always said to like, you know,

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously to my husband, but I've always said to like

0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 1>oral and to no more into all you know, people

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I work with. Now with the nesson, it's like lu

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Maerloney or whatever. I'm like, I wish I wish I

0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 1>could watch the game through your eyes because there's just

0:40:57.160 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 1>so much we don't know. There's so much that all

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.919
<v Speaker 1>these little like intricacies of the game that I will

0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 1>never understand having not played it in that type of thing.

0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:08.719
<v Speaker 1>But it's cool. There's so many games within within the game.

0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>That being said, you guys, I think we're gonna shut

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>it down for tonight. We're going to figure out when

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:14.800
