1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Dodgers found the formula. 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 2: You put more points on the board than the other team, 3 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: score enough runs to make yourself bullpen proof, and I 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: guess that works. I just don't know that that's going 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: to work against the Phillies here. Dodgers are moving on 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: to the National League Division Series. 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: What is going on? Dodgers territory? Faithful? 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: I am Clint Pisias. The guy to my screen left 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: is not a lot of rizo. That is, of course, 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: Scott Braun pinch hitting for Alana tonight, who was feeling 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: under the weather. 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: Maybe she got the champagne. 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: Celebration started early, Scottie feeling pretty good for Dodgers fans. 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 3: Hey, what a dub what a series? And let's not 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 3: act like this is not difficult to do. Okay, Why 16 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: because Clint not one, not two, but three game threes 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: tomorrow and there's one team that avoids that, and that's 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. We can look at the Rats as one 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: of the weaker opponents to make the postseason in a minute, 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: but the Dodgers did take care of business, okay, So 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: a lot of credit to them and they'll get the rest. 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 3: They'll get a little extra prep to line up the rotation, 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 3: which I think is going to be pretty important because 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: there's one shaky ish part that they would like to avoid. 25 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: What what gave it away was a Yamamoto going back 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: out in the seventh innings with ninety five pitches under 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: his belt. Yeah, we'll talk about the bullpen. We'll talk 28 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: about everything here on the show, guys. Before we get 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: into it, though, I want to remind you go buy 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: some stuff. The best way to represent the Dodgers and 31 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: Dodgers territories to go buy some merch Dodgers territory shop 32 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: dot com. Scan that QR code links are in the description. 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: The Dodgers play better when you have DT swag. 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: That is just confirmed. 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: But yeah, Scott, I mean you want to do like 36 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: a little bit of a high level recap before we 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: dive into it, because I mean, there's Yamamoto who was 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: exceptional escapes at first inning, the offense woke up, but overall, 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: Dodgers sweep the Reds are supposed to do that. They 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: go on, they move on to meet the Phillies in 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: the NLDS starting on Saturday in Philadelphia. What are your 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: blanket series thoughts here? You know, Red's perspective Dodgers' perspective. 43 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: So for me, Clint, the Dodgers looked exactly as anticipated. 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: The offense certainly showed up for both games. Otani was 45 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 3: Otani bets had a huge series and definitely a massive game. 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 4: Just now. 47 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: I think three doubles drove in three looked fantastic. Right, 48 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: So the offense top to bottom really was great. I 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: know in the early going of this game, to the 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: bottom of the lineup was getting the job done. So 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: you feel great about that one. That's checklist number one, 52 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: checklist number two. Starting pitching gonna look as good as 53 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 3: it did down the stretch. The big boys like Yamamoto. Yes, Snell, 54 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 3: you pay big bucks for him, and I want to 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 3: feel better by the way. 56 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 4: I love you, miss you, she said. 57 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: I don't give a crap about Snell missing time. I 58 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: just want to see him dominate in October. This team 59 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: is more built and more set and prepped for October 60 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: in terms of mindset than any organization I've ever seen. 61 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: Can we just get through the regular season and be 62 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: ready for October? Think about this compared to last year, Right, 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: you have Snell, you have Yamamota. Who's better this year 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 3: than last year. You have Otani pitching for the first 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: time in the next series coming through last now didn't 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: even touch this series. You're in much better shape from 67 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: a starting rotation perspective, and the bullpen leaves a lot 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: to be desired. But but there is so much arm 69 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 3: talent in this organization that Roki Sazaki just comes in 70 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: pumping one oh one with his first pitch in the 71 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: ninth inning, he's able to shut the door for the Dodgers. 72 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: So all in all, Clint, I think Dodgers fans should 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: be pretty happy given what they saw the ups and 74 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: downs in the regular season. 75 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: What did you think about this series? 76 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean overall, I felt we we kind of 77 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: lost our minds a little bit yesterday because, like immediately 78 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: the anxiety of this bullpen and the struggles, like it's like, 79 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: this is how we're gonna lose. They're gonna cost Kershaw 80 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: another World Series as he's retiring, because this bullpen is 81 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: some some times, maybe good, most of the time, maybe shit. 82 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: I woke up this morning feeling a lot better, understanding 83 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: that you know, you have some dogs in there. I 84 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: was expecting something good out of Shean. You didn't really 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: know what to expect out of Roki Sasaki, but I 86 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: just knew it wasn't the doom and gloom that we 87 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: felt yesterday. That was more of just like, I don't know. 88 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: You're in a long term relationship and somebody says they're 89 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: going to like change, and then they do. 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: That thing that really hurts you or really bugs you. Again. 91 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: That's what it felt like in Game one, but now 92 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: it just feels like, I don't know. The Dodgers found 93 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: the formula. You put more points on the board than 94 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: the other team, score enough runs to make yourself bullpen proof, 95 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: and I guess that works. I just don't know that 96 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: that's going to work against the Phillies. 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: The Phillies are so much better than the Reds I 98 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: can't even put them in the figure. So I want 99 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: to throw that out there. We were talking before the 100 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: show started. I think that the Phillies and the Dodgers 101 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: might be the two best teams in baseball, and they 102 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: happen to be running into each other in the division series. Now, 103 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 3: this is where Dodgers fans can get a little bit 104 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 3: angry if they run into trouble against Philadelphia. The regular 105 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: season does matter, and because you did not finish as 106 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: strongly as you thought you did, with the regular season 107 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: record well shy of what most people anticipated. I think 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: most people came into the season saying, oh, one hundred wins, 109 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: that's pretty safe, right, not even close, So you don't. 110 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: Get the buy Okay, no big deal. You ran into 111 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: the Reds. 112 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 3: You dominated them for the most part, aside from two 113 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: shaky eighth innings. But Philadelphia is really good, Clint. They've 114 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 3: got starting pitching, they got really good left handed starting pitching. 115 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: I think the weakness for Philadelphia might be the depth 116 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: of the bullpen. But in a five game series, how 117 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 3: much does that matter. You're gonna rely on three or 118 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 3: four guys from your bullpen. Duran this morning, who was 119 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: one of the best offseas or trade deadline acquisitions, said 120 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: he gets bored going three out, so he's excited to 121 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: go way more than that. So anticipate him doing four 122 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: or five, maybe six out appearances, and then their offense 123 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: is good. So for me, it's just one concern. I 124 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 3: think the offense for LA is going to be good. 125 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: You gotta love the starting pitching. This should be either 126 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: number one or or two starting pitching in baseball, right 127 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: now with them and the Mariners and Philly closely behind 128 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: them in my mind. But but how is Doc going 129 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: to navigate through forget just the DS, but the rest 130 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: of October? If they're still shaking this Do you think 131 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: that these two eighth innings are a fluke or they're 132 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: a telltale sign of where this team is at and 133 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: how they're going to have to navigate October so differently 134 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: with pushing Yama Modo more than he ever has, with 135 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: taking out a pitcher mid a b on a one 136 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: pount and bringing Investia to shut the door on that, 137 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 3: that was crazy. 138 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't see that very often. As they were 139 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: saying on the broadcast, I don't know. I think it's 140 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: a hodgepodge of a little bit of everything that you're 141 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: gonna see. I feel like the eighth innings more of 142 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: a mental hurdle for this bullpen right now more than 143 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: them just being bad, because these are the same dogs 144 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: that they rode a lot of the same dogs that 145 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: they rode to the World Series last year. Yeah, you're 146 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: missing some key pieces, you know, Ann Hudson and the 147 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: veteran leadership that he brought, all the things that he 148 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: has done in his career. Insert other names here, you know, 149 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: not getting the but but you improved the bullpen on 150 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: paper with a lot of money. Tanners, Scott Kirby, Yates, 151 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: both of them not playing a factor in this in 152 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: this postseason. But yeah, I just think it's all in 153 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: the noggin for these dudes. They're going out there and 154 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: one of the things they've said a lot in the 155 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: final month of the season is they're just kind of 156 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: pitching scared. They're not throwing at a lot of conviction. 157 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: You're seeing a lot of pretty erratic misses. 158 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't. 159 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: Hopefully they've all learned from their you know, the little 160 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: kind of they're not used to pitching in the wild 161 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: Card Series or having to pitch in a wild card series, 162 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: so hopefully this was their little postseason spring training to 163 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: get them ramped up for the big leagues, for the 164 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: big time going up against the Phillies on Saturday. 165 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes you do see that, right, I'm trying to 166 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: bring a national perspective, someone who watches a lot of 167 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: games a lot of different teams, and sometimes you do 168 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: see a really shakey outing from a reliever doesn't have 169 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: postseason experience, and then they figure it out the next 170 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: time around, So you hope that you get some butterflies 171 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 3: out of the way, and we saw that with a 172 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: few relievers for the Dodgers. 173 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: But I mean, I know you'll talk about this a 174 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: lot tomorrow. 175 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 3: I think in your head you have to go, Okay, 176 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 3: let's say each of our starters go about six innings 177 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: per outing in this next round. 178 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: That would be a big plus in. 179 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: Most playoff games nowadays. If you're getting six innings from 180 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: your starter, that's incredible. What's seven, eight, nine every day 181 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: to get three wins, get four wins, and again to 182 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: get four wins. 183 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we're seeing this team struggle to collect 184 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 2: six outs, let alone nine outs to end a ballgame. 185 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: I don't know that the getting into the seventh inning 186 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: is sustainable. Not everybody can go out there and put 187 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: up a Trek Scooble kind of outing. But you know 188 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 2: you mentioned it at the top, Blake Snow, there is 189 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: the reason you signed this dude. He's absolutely electric. And 190 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: Yamamoto in year two is better than in year one. 191 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: He was phenomenal this year, working around an era in 192 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: the first inning, retired thirteen in a row, one point escapes, 193 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: bases loaded nobody out with no damage and then goes 194 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: back out in the seventh like they could ride these horses, 195 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: they could ride these I'm gonna go more with horses, 196 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: because when it's your aces, that is the horses. But 197 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: guess what beyond them, you still have showtime. You still 198 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: have friend of the show Tyler Glass. Now, yeah, give 199 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: me this Dodgers rotation, and give me them doing some 200 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: things that you usually might not see in the regular season, 201 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 2: being a little creative. And I think eventually the bullpen 202 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: is gonna wake up, you know. 203 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: That's what it is. That's what it felt like I was. 204 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: I was sitting here, zoomed in, leaning into my monitor 205 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: that has a game on. 206 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm staring at Alex BESSI. 207 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 2: I'm like, wake the fuck up, bro, Like, how many 208 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: more red bulls do you need? But the Dodgers won. 209 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: That's the important thing. Ladies and gentlemen watching us here 210 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: in the stream. We don't need to talk a lot 211 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: about all the bad parts of it. The Dodgers won 212 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: the ballgame. The Dodgers are going I love this by 213 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: the way, from of course intern superstar. 214 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what else he does over at FT. 215 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: But Henry the back to Peck days, the subplot being 216 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: the terror that is the bullpen. 217 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: This and the bullpen. They can't hurt us again until Saturday, guys, 218 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: So let's celebrate. Let the Dodgers celebrate. We are happy, 219 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: we are feeling good exactly. 220 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: If you lost the series to the reds Clint, it 221 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: would be a miserable finish to a weird year for 222 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. But I mostly want to give credit here 223 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: because for as mediocre as Cincinnati is, there's some pretty 224 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 3: good pitching talent there, and this is a team that 225 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: made the postseason. Terry Francona is very battle tested. Doc 226 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: Roberts shined in this game. 227 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 4: For me. 228 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 3: He was like, I'm not going through that same shit 229 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: the same way in Game one that we did in 230 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: Game two. I hate being a Grand Slam away from 231 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: this thing being tied. So I love the balls of 232 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: Doc in Game two, and I think that's what you need. 233 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: Right We're at FT covering every series and we've been 234 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: dialed in on today the Red Sox and Yankees. There's 235 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: a lot of talk about how the Yankees handled things 236 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: in Game one, and I think that Doc and the 237 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: Dodgers have learned a lot over their. 238 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 4: Constant postseason appearances. 239 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: Right, look at how different they operate now versus And 240 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: not to shit on him, but like the far anxiety 241 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: era right when he was there with Andrew, there was 242 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: platoon City and they were very methodical with how they 243 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 3: were doing things. 244 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: This is not the same. 245 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: This is a team that has gone through the postseason 246 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: marathon very many times, right, and they have learned from that. 247 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: So I give a lot of credit to how Doc 248 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 3: is managing games. 249 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: I mean, he stands out. 250 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 3: It's a Hall of Fame manager for a reason here, 251 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 3: and this is what he gets paid for. 252 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that it was kind of one of the 253 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: things that led to, you know, our exclusive sit down 254 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: me in a lot out of spring training with Doc 255 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: this year is I mean, obviously. 256 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: You're not going to do that. 257 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: He's not going to do that if the Dodgers don't 258 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: win that World Series, and they don't win that World Series, 259 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: if he didn't put together all of the lessons he 260 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: had learned in his previous nine seasons as the manager, 261 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: and particularly twenty two and twenty three, the struggles this 262 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: team had couldn't even get out of the first round 263 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: one a single game. I think in those two postseasons. 264 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: So there is not a better manager in baseball period 265 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: than Dave Roberts, but absolutely nobody better in the postseason 266 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: than Dave Roberts. 267 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about this game. 268 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk more about a lot of things about 269 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 2: Yamamoto especially, But first we're gonna hear from me and 270 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: Alana about DraftKings. 271 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 5: Football is back, and so as your shot at big wins. 272 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 5: With DraftKings Pick six, the official daily fantasy partner of 273 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 5: the NFL, your game day instincts can score you real 274 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 5: money fast.

We will be 296 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: back with Alana tomorrow on Dodgers Territory talking about the 297 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: series and definitely looking ahead more to that National League 298 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: Division series. But this so far this postseason, Scott, it's 299 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: been the story of the aces in Game one. The 300 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: Dodgers are the only one that really only team that 301 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: really had an ace in Game two. Then that's why 302 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: they're the only team that is not playing a Game 303 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: three tomorrow. 304 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: But just talk more. 305 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: We already talked about him talk about the nuts on y'all. 306 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: I love this from a friend of the show. Also 307 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: Scotti gearman, you know, big balls pitching out there. He's 308 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: built for this. Another dude, battle tested. What what is 309 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: the thing that impressed you most about yama in that 310 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: in this outing. 311 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: Not being phased by what happened in the first inning, right, 312 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: and most of it had to do with Tao. Let's 313 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: be real, right, that's a cata bule baseball. You can't 314 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: clunk that. I mean, obviously Yamamoto is able to bail 315 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: him out down the stretch here in this game, but 316 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: not being phased even though he gave up the two 317 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: runs early on. 318 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: I think he relied a little bit more on. 319 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: The fastball through the middle part of his outing and 320 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 3: then was able to command it brilliantly. You were able 321 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: to see how he's progressed from year one to year 322 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: two in just about every way. The length the mid 323 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: game changes, how he gets better as the game goes on, 324 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: being so damn unpredictable, hitting spots along the edges of 325 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: the strike zone that make pitches damn near unhittable. And then, 326 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: I mean, this was the long outing he's ever gone 327 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: in his major league career, so tons of credit. He's 328 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 3: one of the best pitchers in the sport. This is 329 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: his coming out party. This is why you pay a 330 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: ton of money and you beat out the Mets to 331 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: acquire someone like this, right, there were a ton of 332 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: front offices that wanted this guy. He got a lot 333 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: of money. He had never pitched in Major League Baseball. 334 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: This is the guy that you get in his prime 335 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: and it's only year two and it's really special. So yeah, 336 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: it stood out to me because there are a lot 337 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: of pitchers that would have gotten rattled and rocked after 338 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: those first two runs. And I'm sure some Dodger fans 339 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: were like, oh shit, this is going to be like 340 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: a sloppy game, and we lose by a run or two, 341 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: and then we're in an elimination game against the Reds 342 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: where anything can happen. Tons of credit to him, I mean, 343 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: he's obviously the player of the game here. 344 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: I can confirm that. 345 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: You know, I have a discord for my All Dodgers 346 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: YouTube channel, and you know, the second that happens, everybody's 347 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: just the overreactions, the fear, the doom, the everything that 348 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: could that's possibly bad sets in and you know you're 349 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: seeing the thank you fans posts. Mostly those are for 350 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: me kind of ingest, kind of a little bit of copium. 351 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: But yeah, the fact that he was able to kind 352 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: of also kiss and make up with Tayo later on. 353 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: You saw, you know, go up to Tayo and be like, listen, you' 354 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: you're good. We got you. 355 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: And then Tayo later gets him with a two run 356 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: single double in the sixth inning. Dodgers find the sixth 357 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: inning to be not the fifth inning, sixth inning this 358 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: time to put up big runs on the board. How 359 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: about this, dude, I'm wanna talk about a heat check 360 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: for Mookie Bets. 361 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: You mentioned him earlier. 362 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: Three four for five tonight, three doubles, three rbi. This 363 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: is over his past sixteen postseason games concluding tonight. That's 364 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: a three sixty nine average. Nice eight doubles, four homers, 365 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: nineteen rbi. Marcus Lynn Betts. A lot of people, you know, 366 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Maybe he had 367 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: a little bit of a demise in the first few 368 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 2: months of the season, but you know, from the outside perspective, 369 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: looking in Scott, you know, you see this dude, Gold Glove, 370 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 2: Platinum Award winning right fielder moving to shortstop, taking the 371 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: entirety almost the entirety of the season to eventually become 372 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: MLB fifty again. How again, how impressive is it what 373 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: he is doing both as a leader in the lineup 374 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: and out there at the sixth hole. 375 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking for the exact play that really stood 376 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: out to me because I want to start with the defense. 377 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: So it was in the top of the sixth right, 378 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: so bases loaded, you had the two strike knocks for 379 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 3: Friedel and first year, and then Lux with that high 380 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 3: chop in field single. That's tough and you got to 381 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 3: just swallow the baseball there. So then Austin Hayes steps 382 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 3: up and that was a hard ground ball. That's a 383 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: tough hop that eats up even pretty good shortstops. And 384 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: to me, that's where Mookie shined. That's where it's like, hey, 385 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 3: I'm getting reps. Last year was the first go round. 386 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 3: I know he led in defensive run saved among all shortstops. 387 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 4: So I will say we had. 388 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 3: A we have an interesting relationship with almost any fan 389 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 3: base on foul territory, but one that was brightening some 390 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 3: years was the talk of moving him back to the outfield. 391 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: You certainly, you know, had conversations that went down I'm 392 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 3: not going to rehash what actually went down with the 393 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 3: Dodgers and with Mookie, but they were definitely a few 394 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: talks that at some point I think that they will 395 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: bring out. But they've made the right call. This dude 396 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: is one of the best shortstops defensively in the sport 397 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 3: and it took him about a year to get that down, 398 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: and that play, to me is what stands out because 399 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 3: if that baseball gets past him, what does the game 400 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 3: look like? 401 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 4: Right? 402 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: I mean, y'am a motive probably not getting out of 403 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: that inning at that point because you've got several hits 404 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: in a row coming at you. I don't care if 405 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: they're not the hardest struck baseballs. It starts to make 406 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: things really interesting. So for as good as the bat 407 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: looked great, the defense I think is the difference maker 408 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: because you know, the defense had its ups and downs 409 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 3: today and part of the outfield conversation, of course, I 410 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 3: had to do with Mooky going out to right and 411 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 3: then moving Tao to left. 412 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 4: I know you guys have talked about this a. 413 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: Ton, but it did bring all of that back to 414 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 3: mind in a game like this when Tao had the problem. 415 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: But Mooky, really I don't want to say save the day, 416 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 3: but made what I think is the most underrated play 417 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 3: in the game today. 418 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 2: And that's the thing that's special about him is he 419 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: makes it look easy. You don't see a thirty two 420 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: year old move in to shortstop and become a premier 421 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: defender at the position, but he has done it. He 422 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: has quieted the haters. I don't know if I was 423 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: ever technically a hater, but I can definitely call into 424 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: question like is this the right move? 425 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: Was this the right decision? 426 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: It looks like it's the right decision because you know, 427 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I mean, the Red Sox have 428 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: to be feeling even more dumb trading away the right 429 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: fielder and now trading away a shortstop that could have 430 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: been doing something special for them then. Anyways, MLB fifty 431 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 2: just guys really appreciate what this dude is doing for 432 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: us and what he's going to be doing for another 433 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: what seven eight seasons in Dodger Blue. He wants to 434 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: fill up those hands at least one hand with rings. 435 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: He's got three, let's get him up to five, maybe ten. 436 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't all him, though, Five different guys with runs 437 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: batted in in this game, five different guys scoring runs 438 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: did the damage without the long ball. I don't know 439 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 2: about you, Scott, but to me, especially at Dodger Stadium 440 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: in October now, not having to rely on the dinger 441 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: is important for a deep run into October, which I'm 442 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: assuming you like that. 443 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta like that. And you know that the 444 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: Dodgers have the power in them too. You saw that 445 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 4: in Game one. 446 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 3: You know you had a couple homers for both Otani 447 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 3: and for Taoscar Hernandez. But the fact that you can 448 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: win offensively in a variety of ways makes it easier 449 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: for you to game plan against a pitching attack. Right, 450 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 3: there's pop, there's contact, and we know there are guys 451 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 3: that really know how to work a quality at bat. 452 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure there's been quite a few, uh, I would 453 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: say Munsey haters over the years that have changed their 454 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 3: tone when they look at the record for the team 455 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: in the past couple of seasons with Munsey there, it 456 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: just changes the complexion the lineup. Even his strikeouts often 457 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 3: look good and there are very few batters that can 458 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: say that. 459 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: So, yeah, I think that's special. That stands out. 460 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 3: That's the thing for me, I know, it's just two games, Clint, 461 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 3: but I think you have to feel just as good 462 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 3: about the offense as you normally do if you're a 463 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: Dodger fan, like what you're seeing on paper is playing 464 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 3: out for the team right now. I will bring this 465 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: up just because you're obviously way more dialed in on 466 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: the day to day than I am. Do you think 467 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 3: that we're going to get any shade of what we 468 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 3: saw from last year's I would say unsung hero in 469 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: the World Series title, which to me would be Tommy Edmund. 470 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 3: Are we going to get that Tommy Edmund this postseason 471 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 3: or have injuries kind of hit him at the wrong time. 472 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Tommy is one of those guys. Love Tommy Tanks. 473 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 2: He's one of those dudes that I called out a 474 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: little bit in the pregame yesterday. 475 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: Not that they need. 476 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 2: Him to be successful in the postseason, because Miguel Rojas 477 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: is phenomenal at second base. He's a great leader, he 478 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: finds a way to produce in this lineup, So it's 479 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: not going to necessarily hurt super bad to not have 480 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund in that lineup. But what he brings to 481 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: this lineup, you saw it in the NLCS in particular 482 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: last year where he was the NLCS MVP. He has power, speed, dynamic, 483 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: he can defense end anywhere, and he is a premium 484 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 2: defender there. You know, the Dodgers are going to lose 485 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: potentially two position players moving into the Division series. Now, 486 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: hopefully Will Smith is backing ready to get in that lineup. 487 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: But you don't have the luxury of throwing Justin Dean 488 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: out there late in the game, or just having hess 489 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: On Kim, you know, waiting in the waiting on the bench, 490 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 2: chilling hoping for an opportunity. 491 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna need Tommy Edmund and I. 492 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: Do think this it's not a situation where they're only 493 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: going to go as far as Tommy Edmond takes them. 494 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: But he's gonna help make it, you know, make a 495 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 2: lot of Doc's decisions a lot easier and not needing 496 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: to go, you know, too too into the weeds with 497 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 2: some moves. 498 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: One guy, I'll say, one. 499 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: Guy, I'll just say real quick. I know he homered 500 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: in Game one, I get that, but he exited. Yeah, 501 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: that is Tommy going to play all over the diamond? 502 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 3: Is Tommy going to be okay? That's all I'm just 503 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: wondering because you guys have been following more down the 504 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 3: stretch here and he's he's been through it a little 505 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: bit this year, right. 506 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: The ankle is a problem. The ankle is absolutely problem. 507 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: The fact that what he I don't think he completed 508 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: five or six innings yesterday on defense he hit his 509 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 2: homer as a boys, I'm done for the night. That's 510 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: gonna be definitely a big issue and a big deterrent, 511 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: big hurdle for him getting. 512 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: Into lineup on a day to day basis. 513 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 2: You know, the fact that he was already sitting in 514 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: game two in a wild card series that tells you 515 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: a lot about the state of that ankle that could 516 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: maybe you know, need some surgery in the offseason, but 517 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: you know, still off the bench and getting him in 518 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: there when you can, You're gonna feel a little bit better. 519 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: Because I'll say this, something smells a little different in 520 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: the air when it turns into October, because it becomes Keketober. 521 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: This dude, man, this dude. I you know, it's it's 522 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: funny because I've had a lot of people be like, no, 523 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: that's a lot of shit. You can't just just you know, 524 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: flip a switch and all of a sudden you become 525 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 2: not Barry Bonds in October, but another couple of hits 526 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: for kik A today, really nice play out in left field, 527 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: playing a spot, but he hasn't played that much this year. 528 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 2: Your kind of you know, thirty thousand foot view of 529 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 2: Kei k and what he does in October. I'm interested 530 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: in your insight on Keith Aernandez. 531 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 4: I believe in clutch. 532 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 3: I believe that players shine in certain moments, and I 533 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: believe that playoff baseball is different. First of all, you're 534 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 3: facing way better pitching. The ballpark is a completely different vibe. 535 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 3: I've been to dozens of postseason games. It's not even close, right. 536 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: There are very few regular season games at all, if any, 537 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: that match what you see in the postseason, and that 538 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: creates a different result from many players. 539 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 4: So I of course believe in what Key k. 540 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 3: Hernandez brings in October, and that's why you need to 541 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: continue to have him be a part of a roster 542 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: like this. And he's not the only one in baseball 543 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 3: who turns into a different beast than October. I'll just 544 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: do real recency bias here for you. Clint Brian Rochio 545 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: is a different beast in the postseason for the Cleveland Guardians. 546 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: Most Dodger fans probably have no freaking clue who that is. Ok, 547 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 3: bit of it there, you go, right, Okay, but look 548 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: up Bryan Rokio because he hit a three run smash 549 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: today for the Guardians. 550 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 4: They had three home runs. 551 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 3: It's one of the worst offenses ever cracked the postseason, 552 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 3: and they forced the Game three against the Tigers that's 553 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 3: coming up tomorrow. But it's just another example of a 554 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: player who certainly has not you know, blown anyone away 555 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: during the regular season, and he's had now a couple 556 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 3: of years where he's had really big postseason moments, So 557 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 3: I know, Keyk's got the way longer track record. Point is, 558 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 3: there are some players that shine much more in October 559 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: and key K is one of them, and that's why 560 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 3: he's part of the mix, and that's why he's gonna 561 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 3: get plenty of starts here in October. 562 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw that Homer. I had no idea who 563 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: the dude was. 564 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 2: Now I know because what he had just fouled one 565 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: off is his kind of high ankle there, and I 566 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: was like, uh oh oh, and then he just goes 567 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: and throws the bad head out there three run shot, 568 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 2: everybody's happy, and there's a Game three going on in Cleveland. 569 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: Uh, final one I have for you. Well, let's say 570 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: there's two more. 571 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: Obviously you got you got a lot of work ahead 572 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: of you tomorrow, so I don't want to keep you 573 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: up too late. We did get this a FOURT nine 574 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: nine super chat earlier from I will flip you the 575 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: bird saying let's give it up to Scott bron for 576 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: stepping in and I'd appreciate you filling in for Riz. 577 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: Pretty good pinch hitter if you do ask me. You know, 578 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: we were talking just before going live the Roki Sasaki angle. 579 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: Not a lot of people had this dude pitching in 580 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 2: a ninth inning for the Dodgers in October. Not a 581 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: lot of people had him on the roster at October. Sure, 582 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: maybe a circumstantial cough cough the bullpen being really bad 583 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: in September, but he got the job done. And that 584 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: was something you a guy you were pointing out in 585 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: a Dodger's Territory stream, Watch out for Rokie. He's going 586 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: to be one of those dudes that just kind of 587 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: sneaks up on you and closes out a game for you. 588 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 2: You think this could be the kind of unofficial sneaky 589 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: bullpen X factor. 590 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: Oh yes, absolutely. Let's remember who Roki Sazaki is. We 591 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 3: spent a ton of time talking about him in the 592 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 3: offseason yours show did, and yes, thank you for the 593 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 3: super chat. 594 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 4: I love Dodres's territory. 595 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 3: I'm often in here having a little nightcap and watching 596 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 3: Clinton Alana on post game. But Roki Sazaki stuff is disgusting. 597 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: He pumps a HOUNDO plus with the fastball. It's a 598 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 3: splitter unlike when it's on. It's a splitter unlike one 599 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: I've ever seen in the sport. So if you're getting 600 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 3: that now, who the heck cares? What happened for the 601 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: rest of this year? And there are things long term 602 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: that he needs to figure out. I also think that 603 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 3: he might unfairly get Yamamoto comparisons. 604 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: Right. 605 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: You bring the best pitching prospect over or the best 606 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 3: pitcher over from Japan, and you look at Yamamoto, who's 607 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: what five years older than Roky. 608 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 4: You have to look at Roki. 609 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 3: It's still like a semi rookie prospect situation going on here. 610 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 3: He's had some injury issues to figure out over his career, 611 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: so there's still question marks around his long term viability 612 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 3: as a starter, right can he hold up and can 613 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 3: he even go deep into games? All of that, But 614 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 3: I don't give a shit right now. I just want 615 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: to see that fastball. I want to see that splitter. 616 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 3: I want to see anything else that he brings in 617 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 3: one inning, maybe two if things get crazy as we 618 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 3: go on in the postseason. 619 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 4: So yes, it's a need. 620 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 3: But Clint, for me, when I saw the results from 621 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: I think it was his last or second last outing 622 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: in triple A right when he was making one of 623 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 3: those last rehab appearances, because it didn't look good for 624 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: a little bit, and all of a sudden it snapped. 625 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 3: But people were like, and I don't know if I'm 626 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: buying that. Some of my friends on foul Territory weren't 627 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 3: buying it. They're like, Rokie is not going to be 628 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 3: a thing. They're running out of time. You're not running 629 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 3: out of time if you're looking for a guy to 630 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 3: find it in one or two rehab outings and then 631 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 3: appear as a reliever, which was what he was able 632 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 3: to do. 633 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 4: What for maybe what was it two. 634 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 3: Or three outings at the end of the regular season, 635 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: two outings of the regular season. What we saw tonight 636 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 3: is something that could change the complexion of what the 637 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 3: Dodgers have here for the postseason, because you know how 638 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 3: the Dodgers operate, They're not going to be worrying about 639 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 3: him long term. 640 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 4: Yeh. 641 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 3: Is he going to be pitching every single night? Is 642 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: he going to be pitching, you know, getting six outs consistently? 643 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: I don't know. 644 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 3: But is he going to potentially close out playoff games 645 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: for the rest of the run here? I mean, is 646 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 3: there anybody with better stuff right now? I mean, he's 647 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: got some of the best stuff on the planet as 648 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: it is. If he can harness it for one inning. 649 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 3: I can't emphasize enough how much. 650 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 4: This could change things for the Dodgers. 651 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: One more point because I remember I was listening to 652 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 3: one of your shows and commenting a lot when Tanner 653 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 3: Scott had maybe his last meltdown of the regular season, 654 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: and everyone in the chat was just like, I hate Scott, 655 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 3: Scott's the worst. 656 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 4: Send him to the moon. I was like, yeah, bring it, 657 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 4: bring it. 658 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 3: But no, Ford Tanner, I started writing like, Hey, I 659 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 3: get it, you guys are really pissed off right now, 660 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: but you need to look at how well the organization 661 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 3: has been able to scoop up talent and have them 662 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 3: thrive and be as successful as possible when it matters. 663 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 4: And for me, I was like, you might. 664 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: Be complaining right now, Oh, what's just going to look 665 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: like with Tanner Scott and Blake Trynon was struggling at 666 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 3: that time, and obviously Kirby Yates, who's now ild or phantom, 667 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 3: he held whatever it is. And I'm like, your kind 668 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 3: might look completely different. Like I know Emmachian had a 669 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 3: rough night, but I'm like, you might have Emmachian, Clayton Shaw, 670 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: Roki Sazaki, guys that you did not expect to be 671 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 3: appearing in games and pitching beginnings for you. And I 672 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 3: think that's what you're going to see here right. I 673 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 3: don't know what Clayton feel is, but I think there's 674 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 3: a chance he pops back up now for a longer 675 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: series and he comes out of the pen. For this team, 676 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 3: they're going to have to get creative because what they 677 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 3: drew up on paper didn't work out. And I will 678 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 3: say Andrew Friedman hates making trades at the deadline and 679 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: giving up big prospects. Here's the one problem with that 680 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 3: that he just learned Clinton relievers are the most volatile 681 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 3: thing in our game. So you can't load up before 682 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: the season and not expect that you still need to 683 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 3: do things at the trade deadline. 684 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 4: It just doesn't work that way. 685 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: Tanner Scott of twenty four is not Tanner Scott of 686 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. And there's plenty of guys who don't 687 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 3: look good in twenty four and then they're the top 688 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 3: trade target in twenty twenty five. So anyway, you add 689 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 3: all that up and I'm pretty much at the top 690 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 3: of the list for being a fan of Rokie Suzaki. 691 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 3: I think it's an awesome story too, to see the 692 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 3: guy go through struggles here and accepts. You know, I 693 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: would say he thought he's gonna pitch the whole year. 694 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: They were going to, you know, bait him a little bit, 695 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: and this is not what he expected. But he's done 696 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 3: whatever the Dodgers have asked him to do. And I 697 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 3: thought tonight was awesome. 698 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, when they signed him heading into spring training, 699 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 2: the knock on him is he's kind of a two 700 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 2: pitch pitcher, and one of the pitches to fastball was 701 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: pretty hittable. One of the things big changes you're seeing 702 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: from him. He still has the velo going, actually has 703 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: the vilo going again, but you're seeing a lot more 704 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: arm side ride. You have that ride to go with that, 705 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 2: that forkball, that splitter. Yeah, he's nasty. Much earlier in 706 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: the chat Kneelin with the two dollars super chat. I 707 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 2: generally try to avoid Julio rius mentioned on the show. 708 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 2: But could Sasaki be the next twenty twenty Julio? What 709 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: do you think? 710 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: Well, the only difference and again you'll have to help 711 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: me out here, But but Julio was going multiple innings 712 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: like three, I want to say even four. 713 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 4: I don't think they're gave was three? That was three? Okay? 714 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 3: So so are we going to see nine outs from 715 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: Oki Sazaki? 716 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 4: Not likely. 717 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 3: I think you'll top out at six if he's really 718 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: feeling himself and he keeps doing his thing and suddenly 719 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 3: we're in the CS or the World series and he 720 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 3: feels like he's in a good spot to give them 721 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 3: a little bit more lank. He's certainly capable of doing it. 722 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 3: But I do agree it's a guy that you did 723 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 3: not expect to be an absolute weapon out of the 724 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 3: bullpen and suddenly emerge and help a team go the distance. 725 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 4: So I think it's a good comp. 726 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 3: I just I would expect better stuff and shorter addings. 727 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 728 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: Well, the next time we see Dodger baseball, that'll be 729 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: playing meaningful baseball again against the Philadelphia Phillies cold with 730 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 2: a five dollars super chat earlier bringing up Otani glass 731 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 2: now in Philly snell Yamamoto at home in. 732 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: The division series. I take that all day. 733 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: Just a few minutes ago, Dave Roberts did name show 734 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: Hey Otani the game one starter in that division series. 735 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: Don't know who's going up against. 736 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's Aaron Nola, but they also have some 737 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 2: other dogs with Christopher Sanchez, with Ranger Swarez. 738 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: So not Christopher Sanchez's no. 739 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 4: No, no, Aaron Nola. 740 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, but Aaron Nola has had 741 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: a really bad agger up. 742 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 4: He did go eight innings in his last one. 743 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 3: But I would expect Nola maybe as a Game three 744 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 3: or four guy. Christopher Sanchez was maybe the second or 745 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 3: he was a top three or five pitcher in the 746 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 3: National League this year. 747 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 4: He's really good. 748 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,959 Speaker 3: If I would say Sanchez game one, I mean they 749 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 3: have a lot of left he's probably Suarez game two, 750 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 3: and then Lozardo or Aaron Nola in game three. That's 751 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 3: my guess. So dude, this is going to be really good. 752 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 3: Those are all good starters. I know Nola's had a 753 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 3: crap year, but he's battle tested in the playoffs and 754 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 3: looked good in his last few starts. 755 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 4: Let me ask you, are you good with the way 756 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 4: that that's rolling out? 757 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 3: I know they saved Otawi for Game three here if 758 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 3: they needed it, they didn't end up needing it. Now 759 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 3: you get game one and then this is the weird 760 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 3: year for the National leaguehere, they actually get an off 761 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 3: day after game one, so taany pitches then he's off. 762 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it does make a lot of sense. My 763 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 3: only problem with when we were talking to Ken Rosenthal 764 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 3: in his segment the other day and I was like, Ken, 765 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 3: what if the Reds just shot the world and Otani 766 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 3: doesn't even pitch? Right, We've been waiting for this guy 767 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 3: to pitch and show off what he's got in the 768 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 3: playoffs and what it right, that's what we do. I'm like, 769 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 3: what if the Reds just get to a game two 770 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 3: here and we don't see Otani? 771 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 4: Are you okay with that? 772 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 3: But they you know, obviously they took care of business 773 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 3: and now they get to line them up the way 774 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 3: they want to. 775 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 1: Yeah. 776 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 2: I like Showhan in Game one, just for the reason 777 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 2: you laid out there, the fact that they play Saturday, 778 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: they're off Sunday, you play Monday, and then you're off 779 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 2: again on Tuesday. It's set up perfectly to keep your 780 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 2: bullpen pretty well maximized as much of a struggle bus 781 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: as the bullpen has been. But guys, it is late. 782 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 2: I'm let Scott get to sleep. I love talking baseball 783 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 2: with you, man.
