1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: They're just opening up new markets and and like just

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: sort of building their their brand as a whole, regardless

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: of like whether it means they're going to get future

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: players or not.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the live a new

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: edition of Dodger's Territory. We are your hosts for the

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: next thirty minutes. That is Clint PCs. I am Alana Rizzo.

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: Great to thank you guys as always. What's the matter, Clint?

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: Sorry, I apparently I apparently had some like gnarly feedback

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: on my side.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: That's on me, that's on me.

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Listen, Wow, I'm excited with difficulties from the Pesia's household.

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: Are you just like so psyched about the whole Roki

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: Sasak news that you didn't put the show together appropriately?

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 5: Is that what you're telling us now?

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: The problem is I change things and I try to

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: put the comments down here on a different monitor, and

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: then it decided YouTube decided to do its job and

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: play music. But even so, guys, if you want things

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: to not mess up, hit that subscribe button. We're trying

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: to get to a billion subscribers. Good show today, though,

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: we got our friend Eric Steven joining us Troubula should

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: be fun.

Speaker 2: Yeah, Rita's five stars. We appreciate you guys very much.

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 2: We love that you're here. Eric Stephen coming up soon.

26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, next week, I don't want to

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: jinx it, but next week we have a good list

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of guests for you because on Monday we are supposed

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: to have scheduled to appear the one and only Taoscar

30
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Hernandez and on Thursdays scheduled to appear the one and

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: only Chris Taylor CT three joining us on Thursday.

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 5: TAOI be on.

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: Dodgers Territory on Monday. But before we get to that,

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: let's get to the big ticket, all right. So we

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: just found out breaking news here everybody on Dodger Stare Tour.

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: We just found out that Tyler glasnow over on Foul

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: Territory with the guys, said that he talked to Roki Sasaki,

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: totally coincidental.

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 5: They share the same agent.

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: So he called in to check with his agent on

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: a couple of things, and Rochi happened to be I

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: think his agent is Joel wolf right, So Roki happened

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: to be with Joel and Tyler Glasnow Clint made a

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: push for Roki to come.

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 5: To Los Angeles.

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: He said, Hey, if you want to be around a

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: group of people that are going to help develop you,

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: LA is the place to be. And we know that

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: he's probably down to three teams, right LA, the Padres,

50
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: and the Blue Jays.

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 5: Thank you, Tyler Glassnow.

52
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Tyler glasnow doing something special. He wasn't around

53
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: to help the Dodgers during that World Series run, but

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: if he can help get the next star arm in

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: the starting rotation or at least in the organization, that's

56
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: pretty cool to find out. So guys do check out

57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: that most recent edition of Foul Territory. But yeah, it

58
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense. If you got a shared agent,

59
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: you have an opportunity to talk to the player, tell

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: him there are few organizations better at player development. And

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: this is something we've talked about a lot about here online,

62
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: especially on my channel. It's like you look in at Toronto,

63
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: you're looking at the Padres, looking at the Dodgers, look

64
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: at how good the Dodgers are at developing players, taking

65
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: care of their players. That has to mean something to

66
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: somebody like Roki Sasaki, who says he wants to be

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: the best, he wants to be recognized as the best.

68
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: And honestly, the decision is going to come soon, right

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: because he has from the fifteenth, I believe, until the

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: twenty third to make the decision. He has eliminated teams

71
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: along the way. We do believe that there's the three

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: big left. However, it doesn't necessarily mean it's an equal

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: chance for either team. We're not saying is thirty three

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: point three percent for the Blue Jays, for the Dodgers

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: and then for the Padres. I had a conversation with

76
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: Ken Rosenthal on Fair Territory today that it's not necessarily

77
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: about the money either, because it's the international signing pool

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: and there's no difference between really five and a half

79
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: million or six million.

80
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 5: And honestly, if Roki Sasaki cared about.

81
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: The money, he would have waited two years to post

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: and then really get some cash. So he wants to

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: play in the BIGS now, and he wants to play

84
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: for a team that's a contender and a team that's

85
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: going to help him develop at this level. So that

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: is awesome to hear. Hopefully we find out soon because

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm sick of the waiting of where is this man

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: going to go? But we do have our guest who

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: is already checking in, So why don't you go ahead

90
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: and bring him in, Clint.

91
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a guy who probably has written a

92
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: whole lot about is paying attention to everything that's going

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: on on the rookie Sasaki front. This is our friend

94
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: Eric Steven. Of course, he is Dodgers beat writer over

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: at True Blue LA. Does some great work and one

96
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 3: of the punniest people you're going to find on the

97
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: Twitter x machine.

98
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 4: What's going on? Eric? Thanks for joining.

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for having me. Like you guys, I am

100
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm also like waiting on Sasaki, so we're I jumped

101
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: in early because I just couldn't wait.

102
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: So yeah, good, We're happy to have you. Eric, always

103
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: good to be with you.

104
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, I mean, do you think

105
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: the likelihood we keep hearing, of course that the Dodgers

106
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: are the team where he's probably going to go, But

107
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: everybody says that about everybody, because you know why not

108
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: logistically and legitimately. Do you think that you'll be covering

109
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: him in LA? I?

110
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's more likely that he joins the

111
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the others. I wouldn't I'm not discounting like

112
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: the Padres or I guess even the Blue Jays, they're technically,

113
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, a finalist. It feels, you know, almost cruel

114
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: to make them go through this two years in a

115
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: row with like a Japanese superstar. But I I don't know, Like,

116
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I think it's it's most likely he's gonna end up

117
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, But I can't say I have a

118
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: feel for it. I don't think it's like a lot

119
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: there's there's been a lot of like, uh, you know, oh,

120
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: it's a done deal. It's it's clearly going to be

121
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: the Dodger. I don't know if I buy that, but

122
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I think it's it's definitely more likely than not.

123
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we're seeing a lot of the rumors

124
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 3: in the news and the things popping out that somebody

125
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: who's saying we all of it's very uh you take

126
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: it with a grain of salt at this point, but

127
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: we're seeing maybe today's the day that he announces it. Well,

128
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: a lot of us assume he's made his decision. It's

129
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: just about whether or not the Dodgers can go out,

130
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: and we know they're trying to acquire more international money.

131
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: I guess this is a long way around. Do you

132
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: think it happens today? Does the gut tell you what

133
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: happens today, or is it something where maybe Friday into

134
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: next week or how soon before this wraps.

135
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question. So we have a full week,

136
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Like the twenty third is the day he has to sign,

137
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: by I would imagine they get it done sometime before then.

138
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: I was half joking with someone, I said, I'm about

139
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: to do an interview and then I have to go somewhere.

140
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: So he's probably going to sign within this two hour

141
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: period where I'm away from my computer. But that's always

142
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: how it happens. So now, like I would imagine like

143
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: probably by this weekend. I just think logistically, but maybe

144
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: maybe he is waiting the you know, the pros and

145
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 1: cons he just met in person, like in the last

146
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: week with all three teams. I'm sure you know, obviously

147
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: it's a huge decision for him. Maybe, you know, if

148
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: he hasn't already made his decision, maybe he has a

149
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: lot to weigh. I don't really have a feel for it,

150
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: but I would imagine by like, you know, if the

151
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: deadline is what Thursday, we'll probably know by Monday or

152
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday at the latest, But like I don't know about today,

153
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: but wouldn't it would not surprise me.

154
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: Eric, What do you think about the fact that the

155
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: Dodgers are so familiar such an international brand. Everybody knows

156
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: who the New York Yankees are, the Los Angeles Dodgers,

157
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, you know, Manchester United. When the Dodgers

158
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: went out and signed Hayesan Kim, a lot of it

159
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: was as you wrote about, there was a natural familiarity

160
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers, having said, well, they're the Dodgers.

161
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: I was so familiar with them, having.

162
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Watched Chanho Park and hen Jinryu play there, and they're

163
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: they're the defending champions. How much do you think the

164
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: brand recognition plays, not to mention the fact that, oh,

165
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: by the way, show Hey Otani pitches for them and

166
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: plays for them, how much do you think the brand

167
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: recognition plays into this?

168
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Otani is like the huge part of that.

169
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: But it's also going back decades, Like you mentioned, Kim mentioned,

170
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, uh chan Ho Park Show Heyotani, and I

171
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: think yoshinob Yamamoto both mentioned Hideo Nomo like you know

172
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 1: years ago he would and just like having that sort

173
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: of name recognition, you know, for decades building on. But

174
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: now what they're doing is like, like they have Otani

175
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and Yamamoto by itself is such a strong like presence

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers in Japan, and then like if they

177
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: also add Sasaki, it's like they're kind of also, you know,

178
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: priming the pump for you know, maybe twenty years from now,

179
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: some guy's gonna come up and go, yeah, I watched

180
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki and Yoshinoba Yamamoto pitch for the Dodgers, and

181
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: I want to do that too, So like maybe maybe

182
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: that's sort of the plan there. But not only that,

183
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: not not just getting future players, but like we saw

184
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: the Dodgers added like what at least eleven possibly even

185
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: more like Japanese sponsors last year, bringing in extra revenue.

186
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Like they're they're just opening up new markets and and

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: like just sort of building their brand as a whole,

188
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: regardless of like whether it means they're going to get

189
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: future players or not.

190
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, if anything, you know, at the addition of Kim,

191
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 3: the subtraction of Gavin Lux, it opens up some more

192
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: competition at the second base position. What's kind of the

193
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: feel right now, we haven't heard too much from the team.

194
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts told us last week, Hey, I look or

195
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: this week, I feel real excited about Mookie at shortstop.

196
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: Sounds like they're sticking with that, but all intents and purposes,

197
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: it looks like two B could be a competition.

198
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: Do you think Kim will get an opportunity.

199
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: To maybe be on that opening day roster or it's

200
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 3: gonna be more of some of the guys that have

201
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: been there, done that, Chris Taylor, maybe a Tommy Edmond

202
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: because most likely you're open up against a left handed

203
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: pitcher and showed to Imnaga and the Cubs, Just what

204
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: do you what do you think of the budding competition

205
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: there at two B.

206
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's such an interesting roster because once they

207
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: traded Lux, it was sort of an indication to me

208
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: at least that they at least viewed Kim over Lux

209
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: in terms of maybe roster fit. But that might just

210
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: be because Kim can play multiple positions. They have a

211
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: weird roster right now. There's only fifteen position players on

212
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: the forty man and you know, their avenues to add

213
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: more are essentially like you know every day in our

214
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: comments section at True Blue LA, you know, people are

215
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: mentioning when is keiking in a sign all this kind

216
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: of stuff, and it certainly could happen. But then once

217
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: KEYK signs, they actually need depth, right, so the options

218
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: of KEYK signs are well, that means Andy Pah has

219
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: might you know, start the season in the minors, or

220
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, they might move on from Chris Taylor who

221
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: has a year left on his deal. I don't know

222
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: I necessarily buy that right away. But then there's also

223
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, Kim, like you said, not fully established in

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: the majors. Might you know, could start the season in

225
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: the miners. I don't know how likely that is, but

226
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: it's like hard to see them signing someone for you know,

227
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: twelve and a half million over three years and they're like, yeah,

228
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: can you start in the miners? I mean, it's certainly possible,

229
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: but like it just seems like it. I would guess

230
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: Kim's going to be on the roster. But again, they

231
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: could also make some other move that we just don't

232
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: know about. But I think if anything, they need to

233
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: add like depth that also that depth could come from within,

234
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: like Dalton Rushing is probably going to hit his way

235
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: onto the team at some point, but that's later in

236
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: the year. David Body is an NRI who can play

237
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: like kind of all over the infield and possibly like

238
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: one of the outfield spots if they had to. But

239
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know where that other depth is going

240
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: to come from, So I would imagine they're not done

241
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: there yet, which which kind of maybe that's the next

242
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: thing we're sort of waiting on.

243
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: Eric.

244
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: Let's switch our focus to the relief market, because if

245
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: you look at the Dodgers pen right now, I feel

246
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: pretty good about the arms that they have in the bullpen,

247
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of relievers on the market that

248
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: probably are not going to get what they're expecting. There

249
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: seems to be a deep pool of guys to choose from,

250
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: not only in the free agent market, but also on

251
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: the trading block. Do you anticipate the Dodgers getting another

252
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: bullpen arm? And if you had to kind of look

253
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: in the crystal ball, who might that be?

254
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I know Tanner Scott was his name was

255
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: manned about like especially a lot last month. They were

256
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: interested in him and Devin Williams. At the Yankees press

257
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: conference for Williams, he said, I thought I was going

258
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers, and so they were obviously probably close

259
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: on that trade. But like with with with Tanner Scott,

260
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: like I wonder if it's just a matter of like,

261
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, I heard some report where he wants, you know,

262
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: somewhere near like Josh Hater money, which was kind of

263
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: a huge contract. I doubt he gets that. So that's

264
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: probably why he's still unsigned. But I would imagine they're

265
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: still interested in him Outside of that, though, You're right there,

266
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: the pen as is is pretty solid, and also we

267
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: have to sort of factor in the like let's say

268
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: they do signs Asaki, So I would imagine he's in

269
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: the rotation right away, like he obviously could also start

270
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: in the minors. Unlikely though, given that he's basically major

271
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: league ready. But then you start wondering, like, Okay, what's

272
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: Dustin May's role on this team, Like he's going to

273
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: be on the roster, And you never want to assume, like, oh,

274
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: they're going to have so many starters, because we've all

275
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: seen how that sort of plays out. It solves itself.

276
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe Dustin May ends up in the

277
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: bullpen or or you know, obviously a lot of the

278
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: rookies from last year, like Ben Casparius could start, but

279
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: also could be in relief if they need an extra guy. So,

280
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: like I guess, I don't really know, but it would

281
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: not surprise me if they're there, I would imagine they're

282
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: still going to probably add at least one more reliever before.

283
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Like you know, everyone reports the camp.

284
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've we've heard the reliever.

285
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: We've heard you know, Dave and company would really like

286
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: to add one more high leverage guy you've seen in

287
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: years past. Dodgers linked to somebody like Kirby Yates who

288
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: still out there. I really do, and so many people online,

289
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: as you know, would very much love to see Dustin

290
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: May in a relief role. It seems like the team

291
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: is really noncommittal in what they want to do. We

292
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: talked to Mark Pryor last season when d May was

293
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: kind of doing some of his his you know, bounce

294
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: back or whatever, his recovery. He was getting closer to

295
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: making his debut before the esophagus thing, and even then

296
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: non committal. If you're sitting here right now, do you

297
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: think opening the season d May is in the rotation

298
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: or they decide to make that move and put him

299
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: in the bullpen just to start the season. He hasn't

300
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: proven he can stay healthy over the course of one

301
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: sixty two.

302
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: Sure, And then you know, there's also the fact that

303
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched in like, you know, year and a

304
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: half at this point, just because it was such a

305
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: bad setback as he was probably going to join them

306
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: at some point in the second half, and just to

307
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: have the you know, Terryer esophagus after dealing with the

308
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: elbow injury. Just like, it's just terrible luck on his part. Yeah,

309
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, I would probably say Bullpen.

310
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: But then there's so many question marks in the rotation.

311
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: Like obviously Tyler Glass now there have reasonably high hopes

312
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: for him, but he also hasn't pitched since mid August.

313
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: They you know, they said his elbows fine, But is

314
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: it fine to the point where he's going to be

315
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: like full go in spring training to build up for

316
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: the season.

317
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: We don't know.

318
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously, Yamamoto came back from his injury and

319
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: he was good in October, so he's probably fine, like

320
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: Snell's probably fine, But then like everyone else after that

321
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: is a question mark. Tony Gonsolin himself was a question mark.

322
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: He didn't pitch last year, So it might just be

323
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: a matter of who's healthy opening day, and then if

324
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Dustin made is one of them, he might be one

325
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: of the five or six, depending on how they sort of,

326
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, shake it all out. Obviously, Otani won't be

327
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: ready to go right away, so there's just a lot

328
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: of a lot of question marks that that'll be one of

329
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: the things to watch in spring training for sure.

330
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 5: Eric and Klayton Kershow, of course, will be ready to

331
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 5: start the year.

332
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Either We don't anticipate him back until probably the second

333
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: half of the season or whatever it is. Whenever Kersh

334
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: is ready and wants to come back, he certainly will.

335
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: We know that there's always an open spot for him.

336
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: But what can you expect from a guy that obviously

337
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: is a first ballot Hall of Famer but is entering

338
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: his age thirty nine season. He'll be or excuse me,

339
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: thirty seven. He'll be thirty seven on March nineteenth.

340
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's it was weirdly encouraging. He obviously was

341
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: He was okay last year, but then had the foot

342
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: thing as last like a couple starts and he just

343
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: kind of fell off and obviously didn't pitch in September

344
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: but I think it was encouraging in that his shoulder

345
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: was fine after like basically the first major surgery of

346
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: his career. So I think like there's at least potential

347
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: that he could be healthy. And we've seen like he

348
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: was before he got hurt in twenty three he was excellent,

349
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: like really good. So obviously now we're going to be

350
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: two years removed from that. But I'm not like putting

351
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: anything past him, but I think it's going to be

352
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: one of those situations where he'll he will find a

353
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: way to sort of maximize like whatever he has out there,

354
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: And it seemed like the arm wise, he was pretty

355
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: good last year, so I have like reasonably high hopes there.

356
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: I will know he's going to end up when he does.

357
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: If he does, and when he does get into a game,

358
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: he'll be the first Dodger pitcher ever to pitch in

359
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: eighteen different seasons. I told him that last year there's

360
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: only two other position players who've done it, Zach Wheat

361
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: and Bill Russell. I told kursh how that, like in October.

362
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: At some point He's like, yeah, but I got a

363
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: pitch first. I was like, all right, Like so he

364
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: didn't know who Zach Wheet was by the way. I

365
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: had to remind him not a.

366
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: Big time historian over there. He's too busy designing some

367
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: new sketchers. We got a five dollars super chat from

368
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: Todd Garman happy to see the crossover. Eric Stephen on

369
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Dodgers territory. Happy to have you here, though his worlds

370
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: are colliding. So it's been fun so far. Expecting a

371
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: fun season for Dodgers fans. A different competition. We talked

372
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: to Dave Roberts about this on Monday. A lot of

373
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 3: competition now in the NLS coming up. The Diamondbacks get

374
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: a lot better, adding Corbyn Burns that rotation, the Giants

375
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: get better, adding Willie Damas to the mix, and of

376
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: course the offseason still not done. How important coming off

377
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: of that twenty twenty four season, How important do you

378
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: feel the competition and the league getting better for the Dodgers.

379
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: How much has that helped them, you know in the

380
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: pursuit of back to back championships.

381
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I guess there's the argument of you know,

382
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: we saw what twenty two and twenty three, they kind

383
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: of pulled away at the end and didn't there was

384
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: a lot of distance between them and the other teams,

385
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: and then there's the layoff, and then they just didn't

386
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: perform well on October this year, they were battling pretty

387
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: much all the way to the end. It took him

388
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: to the last week of the season to clinch the

389
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: division and they just kind of rode that through October.

390
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm I think of all the teams, I I like

391
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Arizona the most right now. I you know that like

392
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: if Sasaki goes to the Padres, maybe they're back in,

393
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, in that spot. But yeah, there's gonna be competition. Obviously,

394
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: the Giants are going to be better. But yeah, I

395
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: just it's a tough it's the best division probably, like

396
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe that I guess the NLS is

397
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: pretty good too, but you know, it's just it's gonna

398
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: be a tough, tough division, and it's I'm sure it's

399
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: gonna like help them in terms of you know, just

400
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: staying staying ready and not having like necessarily meaningless games

401
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: like in September or whatever.

402
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't I don't.

403
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that. It's it

404
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: is the NL best. And actually that's what Dave Roberts

405
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: and Clint We're talking about on Monday. That is it's

406
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 2: a it's a formidable division, which is good to have.

407
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: You want to have those tough games all the way

408
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: throughout so you know there's no real surprises there in

409
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: the postseason. Let me ask you this, though, why are

410
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: you so hell bent on spring training games ending in ties?

411
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: Because because the games themselves don't matter, like the outcome.

412
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: So I find it the most absurd when, like, you know,

413
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: I just think every one of those games should end entie.

414
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: So like especially if it's like lopsided late and then

415
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: someone comes back to tie the game. That's like it's

416
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: like the peak the peak spring scenario. Like the game

417
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: the outcome doesn't matter, So I'm just rooting for, like

418
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: the perfect outcome is nobody wins, so like that that's

419
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: sort of the genesis of it.

420
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 5: We just hope that both teams have a good time.

421
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: What is that sort of the participation award spring training

422
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: there or something like that.

423
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: Everybody show I also don't get hurt.

424
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: I also think though it could be exciting too, Like

425
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all for like a walk off tie, like

426
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: if someone scores the tying run and then they just

427
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: they just call the game like we've done it all right,

428
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: it's the bottom of the ninth, like we time to

429
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: time to end the game. That that's sort of my

430
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: my ideal spring scenario.

431
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: People getting their money's worth out there for sure. The

432
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 3: final thing before we let you get out of here,

433
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: obviously we're gonna call you world renowned in the game

434
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: the mastery of the pun. Do you have the Eric

435
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: Stephen all time favorite pun? Or do you have like

436
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: a pun hall of fame? I know this is definitely

437
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 3: this has got to be harder. This is like somebody

438
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: trying to pick their favorite child.

439
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 4: I'm imagining.

440
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: No.

441
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Look, everyone asks like, do you did you have how

442
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: long did you have this one plant? And the honest

443
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: truth is most of them is just whatever dumb thought

444
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: comes into my head. I'll just say that and then

445
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: just let it roll. I will say one thing I did, like, uh,

446
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: speaking of timing of Dodger signings, I was off the

447
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: week of Thanksgiving when play Snell sign but I was

448
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: listening to Chapel Roon, So of course I basically did

449
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: a rewrite of Pink Pony Club to commemorate Blake Snell signing.

450
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of puns in there, So like

451
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: that was like like combo of punning and an homage

452
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: to weird Al Yankovic. So like that was pretty much

453
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: my ideal like sort of scenario right there, World's colliding

454
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: and all that.

455
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: All right, Eric Steven, you have now peaked then if

456
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: that was your ideal world World's colliding, Eric Steven does

457
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: a great job. Of course, Guys on True Blue La

458
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: s B Nation, we appreciate you very much.

459
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 5: Hopefully we'll see you out of Camelback.

460
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: Dave has invited us to come and kind of break

461
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: down some world series decisions, so we'll see if that

462
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: comes to fruition.

463
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 5: But thanks so much for being on here, my friend.

464
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 5: Always good to see you.

00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: in LA and the surrounding areas, of course, with the

472
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 2: devastation of the wildfires, we wanted to use Gidry's Guardian

473
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: as a platform to help raise money for fire relief

474
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: in the LA area. So we are auctioning off a

475
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: signed Taylor Swift CD. It is authenticated by PSA, so

476
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: it is legitimate. Taylor did sign this. It's the Tortured

477
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,560

488
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,159

489
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: in the baseball world. We also, before we say goodbye

490

Speaker 2: our condolences to those that were very close to the

493
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 2: legend himself, Bob Yuker. It was announced today that he

494
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: passed away at the age of ninety years old. I

495
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to meet him several times, and he

496
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: is just as wonderful as you would imagine, just as

497
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: humorous as he seems. This is a legend not only

498
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: in the game, but just in the broadcasting world, and

499
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: always put a smile on every single person's face. The

500
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: world of baseball lost a massive, massive icon. So rest

501
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: in peace, mister Yucker. You will be very very very

502
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,399
