1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: And I hate to say this, and I'm probably gonna 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: get crushed. I have not felt this uncomfortable about a 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: Dodgers team since I started covering the Dodgers. I'm smiling 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: right now, Clint, but this is the face that I 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: actually want to have. 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: This is my what what the hell? Face? 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: After two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh. 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 3: This is a you know, this is a good series 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 3: for drinking too. I guess that's what I'm doing. I'm 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 3: drinking on this Wednesday. I don't know if you poured 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 3: up anything, Riz, but we should be drinking tonight. 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: Oh no, I was, I was. I'm I'm a I'm 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: a bottle deep. Welcome to Dodgers Territory, everybody. This is 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: the first time Clint Pesius and myself Alana Rizzo are 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: having a Dodgers Territory postgame show. We do that because 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: the Dodgers obviously are on the East Coast playing the 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. I did not think that the Dodgers were 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: going to be over too uh in the first two 19 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: games of the series. Obviously that you respect the pitching, 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: but where the frick did our offense go? 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 3: Offense has been a little rough as we get into 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: the big ticket here, and I think we should have 23 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: a front end to it for fun. And we're talking 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 3: before the show. Should this be big ticket or should 25 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 3: this be blue balls? Because this has been a tough 26 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 3: little two game stretch for the boys. The bats kind 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 3: of did they get left in LA. But the bats 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 3: were never really there in LA. Offense is struggling, we're drinking, 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: We're sad. Paul Skeens had a hell of a game. 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: I don't even know where to quite, you know, begin 31 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 3: digging in on. It was a lot of game. It 32 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: was almost kudos to the Dodgers. They they put up 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: a fight. They did score six runs. I appreciate that 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: a little bit. The bullpen almost had a hell of 35 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 3: a performance. Leaf of James Paxton until. 36 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry, I'm not doing that. I'm not 37 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: doing I'm not giving them a pass. I'm not giving 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: them a pass. Paul Skeans, Yes, I understand, he's no. No, 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: I understand he's going to be very likely number one 40 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: draft pick. I mean, the guy got drafted and three 41 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: hundred days later he's making his first start in the 42 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: big leagues. 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: I get it. He's a superstar. 44 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: But again, the man has not had ten days of 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: big league service time. And this is the Los Angeles 46 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: frickin Dodgers, And you don't know not to mention what. 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: Jones did yesterday. That's fine. 48 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: I again, we had our pregame production meeting, right, we're 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: talking about all right, Paul Skean's going up against Shoeyo 50 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: tyme PNC Park because this is the last park he's 51 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: played in. Paul skeens Is it a splinker? We're going 52 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: to talk about the herbage. 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: In a second. 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: But you know, he's not great against the against that, 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: but all he's been a little bit better lately. The 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Dodgers look like crap offensively, and I get again, you're 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: gonna have these moments in time. But against the Pittsburgh Pirates. 58 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: No disrespect to the Pirates organization, no disrespect to their pitching, 59 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: but it's the Pirates. They're not going to the postseason, 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: They're not anywhere this year. You're the mother freckin Dodgers, 61 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: And you can't figure it out. 62 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: That bothers me. 63 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: What if this happens in the postseason? Like I don't, 64 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, look at this Dodgers, the Pirates, are 65 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: winning seven nothing. 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: I like blinked. 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: I sat down and grab a glass of wine, and 68 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the frick, it's already three nothing? 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: What happened? 70 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: You know what? The Dodgers got into Pittsburgh at the 71 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 3: worst possible time facing Velocity. They have been really, really 72 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 3: bad this season against I think it's against ninety seven plush. 73 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: Both Jones and Skens have ninety seven plus easily in 74 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: the pocket. 75 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: There and both rookies, both rookies. 76 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: What you do mind in the woods by the way, 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: they're they're almost wittier, almost Lamarado, almost La Jabra Area 78 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff. So good to see 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: local boys in my in my hood and my body 80 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: o doing well. But I would prefer they not do 81 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: it against the Dodgers. But Dodgers kind of did it 82 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: to themselves again Velocity struggling bottom of the lineup is 83 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: still a problem. Like we talked to on Monday, this 84 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: team needs a little bit of help. We probably need 85 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: to see less Christopher armand Taylor in the starting lineup 86 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: if we want to be angry, if we want to start, 87 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: you know, ratcheting some things up. MOOKI probably needs a 88 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: day off even though they just had two days off 89 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: and he's he's struggling, and this lineup lives and dies 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: with Marcus Lynn Betts, and I'm not seeing a lot 91 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: of fight out of Muki right now. Maybe I'm just 92 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: being angry for the sake of being angry, because I 93 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: have seen the postseason struggles feel eerily similar to this. 94 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: And yes, they scored six runs, but it took a 95 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: while to get there, and they were already out of 96 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: the game by the second inning. But I want to 97 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: see some fight out of MOOKI am I am I 98 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: out of line here, No you're not. 99 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: I think you look at his body language, and I 100 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: think he's probably taking that into his offensive, his at bats, 101 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: everything that's. 102 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: Going on in the field. 103 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong in saying that, Like the 104 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: body language speaks for itself. But I don't like the 105 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: fact that these two guys again Jones yesterday, Skins today, 106 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: they're rookies. This is supposed to be the Los Angeles Dadgers. 107 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: We talked so much about the matchup between show Hey 108 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: o Tani, which, by the way, Paul Skeins grew up 109 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: watching Otani. I feel like Otani's twelve but Paul Skeens 110 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: grew up watching Otani and then he got to face 111 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: him for the first time ever, and I was thinking, Okay, 112 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: what do we really what did we really learn here 113 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: about Paul Skins? Right, we know he's the number one 114 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: overall pick, We know his girlfriend's a smoke show. We 115 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: know that he has a sick mustache. We know all 116 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: of these things, right, But it's like the first two 117 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: outing Sea Hattie faced the Cubs. You know, this is 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: the first time against really a massive lineup, and he shoved. 119 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: I mean, is he is he better than we're giving 120 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: is he better than we're giving a first round pick 121 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: credit for? I don't even know if that's possible, but 122 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: he looked really good against the Dodgers lineup that I 123 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: still feel is pretty is pretty decent. 124 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: I think. I think when you put together the entire 125 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: Paul Skins picture and the comment section is going off, 126 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: so I do want to have us pull some comments 127 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 3: from the fine Dodgers territory faithful here, But with Skeens, 128 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 3: when you you point out again this time a year ago, 129 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: he was pitching in college, has not very much professional 130 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 3: experience under his belt, put together a hell of a 131 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: start I would not call it. I don't. I don't 132 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: quantify this as a shove. He did did give up 133 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 3: three runs. You know, he couldn't. He couldn't. I mean 134 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: he held a lead. He had a hell of a 135 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: lead when you have seven run seven runs scored in 136 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 3: the seventh inning. But he did. He did fine. I 137 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: think he did find considering all of his what twenty 138 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: two first time facing it a grown a lineup of 139 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: grown ups just coming out of college. Its fine. I'm 140 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: not exceptionally impressed. He's not my, you know, number one 141 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: starter in the postseason if I'm the Pirates, right well, 142 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 3: maybe if I'm the Pirates, he is. But if I'm 143 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: the Dodgers and he's on the Dodgers, and he's not 144 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 3: my number one starter, but you know, Dodgers operate. 145 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: Eddie seven minutes in the big leagues, and he's he's 146 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: been pretty damn good. 147 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: What do you want from this guy? 148 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: Well, more, give me more against this crappy Dodgers line up, 149 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: right now? Come on, you gave up three runs over 150 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: six he had it was through like ninety pitches in 151 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: the first five innings, so it wasn't even six. He 152 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: got through five ninety seven ninety one pitches, whatever it 153 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: was somewhere in that ninety pocket. I mean, in the 154 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: modern era, that's great. In the olden times ten years ago, fifteen, 155 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: twenty years ago, that's kind of a dud for a 156 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 3: starter did just fine. He did just. 157 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: Fine olden times, you mean ten years ago when you 158 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: were five years old. 159 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. And it's not so much about the 160 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: Dodgers offense and. 161 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: This, Okay, what is Roy's starting to say today? Paxton 162 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: did not give exactly. Roy is my man right now 163 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: because that was a perfect segue, not for nothing, and 164 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: the offense was crap. But James Paxton just blew up 165 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: in the second inning. I mean, you needed a little 166 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: bit more from a veteran pitcher than what we got 167 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: from Paxton tonight, you know, a. 168 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: Little little ish, unlucky. But I don't know, is this 169 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: is just kind of the the fallout of him having 170 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: a three inning start in his last game or whatever 171 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: the hell it was. I don't like the idea of 172 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: resting your pitchers in the middle of a season. You 173 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: signed this guy. He is an old man, he's thirty five. 174 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: I think he can ideally hopefully withstand the rigors of 175 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: a season, of an entire season, but did not look 176 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: very good against a not great Pittsburgh Pirates lineup and 177 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: came into the game one game over five hundred to 178 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: give up seven runs in that second inning. Completely get 179 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: your team out of it that early. That's a tough look. 180 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: And when you have Bobby Miller on the horizon, a 181 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: return of Robert Miller on the horizon, you know, you 182 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: do have to worry a little bit. Or as Paxson, 183 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: maybe you're wondering down the road about your job security. 184 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: But he's been overall good, don't I do not like 185 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: that start in you know, coming off of a loss 186 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: like they had yesterday, you got you gotta be a stopper. 187 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: This is what bothers me about this type of series. 188 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: It just goes to show you in a three game 189 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: series in the first round, anything can happen if one 190 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: team is hot. Let's say it's the you know, the 191 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: the last team that makes the postseason because of a 192 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: wild card. Berth goes against a Dodgers team that wins 193 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and three games the season. The Dodgers are flat, 194 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: that team isn't and here you go, this is you're 195 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: supposed to You're supposed to crush the Pirates no disrespect. 196 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: And I had many conversations about good pitching will kill 197 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: good hitting any day. Good pitching with no hitting is 198 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: definitely gonna kill you on that day. What if this 199 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: happens in the postseason. That's why these types of teams 200 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: on paper you should absolutely annihilate. And this this bothers me, 201 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: This series bothers me. 202 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we talked about this with the Reds 203 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. Don't let bad teams don't 204 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: get beat by bad teams. And you know it's a 205 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: trap series. I agree, I hate. I think the idea 206 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: of the concept of trap series is way over overused. 207 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 3: But in the reality, this is an adequate This is 208 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: an accurate time to use it, and we get it. 209 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: The Dodgers are tired. You know, you've now played sixty 210 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: two sixty three games. Maybe you're a little bored into 211 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: the season. And I'll call out Mookie Bets again for 212 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: maybe looking a little bored in the season. Maybe shortstop 213 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: isn't fun and sexy anymore. But it's not just Mookie, 214 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 3: it's not just show hey struggling. But also, you know, 215 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: putting up two knocks against Paul Skins. It's it's a 216 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: whole lineup thing. It's it's I wouldn't. I'm not going 217 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: to throw Dave Roberts under the bus, as much as 218 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: the chat might want to throw Dave Roberts under the bus. 219 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: But going back to what you said, you're talking about 220 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: the postseason. William Andrews in the chat said this a 221 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 3: little bit ago. Doesn't matter who we face in the postseason. 222 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: If we play like this, you're not going to get 223 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: past the first round. Does that matter what team it is? Either? 224 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, William anders what else is the chat saying? You're 225 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: on YouTube? 226 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: You're watching, by the way, like us, subscribe us, rate us, 227 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: do all those things. 228 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: We appreciate you guys being here. 229 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 1: Obviously this is our first post game show because the 230 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: Daughters are on the East Coast, so we had an 231 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to do it. I mean, what else is what 232 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: else are the fans saying? I mean, that's why that 233 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, we play this game, That's why. 234 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: We're talking Orlando. 235 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: You have to score runs to win, Thank you, Orlando, 236 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: usually more runs than the other team. 237 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 2: Loving the game, God bless him. Yeah, I mean I 238 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: get it. It's just it's annoying Craig. I love Craig. 239 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: Craig is always a part of our show, Dodgers emotion. 240 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and there's you know what you made Craig 241 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: brings up a good point, Clint, but you also said 242 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: something maybe they're born. 243 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: I remember back in the. 244 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: Day when the Atlanta Braves won the freakin' Al East 245 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: every single year, and Bobby Cox basically gave the Braves 246 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: the first forty or fifty games. I don't give a 247 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: crap what you do, because I know that you guys 248 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: don't care. But after that, like we need to get 249 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: it going. Is that where the Dodgers are falling into 250 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: They think, like, we know we're gonna win the National 251 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: League West, we have dominated for years to come. We're 252 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: gonna kind of just kind of get there as long 253 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: as at the All Star break we're still in first 254 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: and then we kind of really pushed the pedal to 255 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: the medal in the second half of the season. Are 256 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: you seeing a little bit of that? Is what Craig 257 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: is saying. And what you're saying about a boredom? Is 258 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: that is that a real thing? 259 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, Uh, it tastes like it to me. 260 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 3: A little bit. It also tastes a little bit like 261 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: like rum and monster, which is an odd combination that 262 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: I decided to go with. But I need a six 263 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: forty pick me up. I get it. I get the 264 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: You know, they had so much hype, the dopamine, the 265 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: adrenaline is all the way up. When you enter the season, 266 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: you're the talk of the town when you talk about 267 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: they signed Otani, they signed Yamamoto, they signed Tasker Hernandez, 268 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: They're gonna go play in Korea, all of the pomp 269 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: and circumstances, all of that. Then you get into the 270 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: throws of the regular season, and we know this team 271 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: doesn't care about the regular season. Yeah, they're gonna go 272 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: out there. They're professionals, they're gonna do their job. But 273 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 3: the whole point of all this bullshit is to get 274 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: to October and try to right the wrongs of the 275 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 3: last two years, maybe three years. I'll give them a 276 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 3: little bit of a pass in twenty one because everybody 277 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: fell apart in twenty one, But we have not seen 278 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 3: a team really compete and have some conviction and emotion 279 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 3: since you were there in the dugout with them, Alana, 280 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 3: and I want to see them get there. I want 281 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: to see them take some of these games seriously, and 282 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: I want to see them get there and get past 283 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: this type of BS that we see happen a little 284 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: too often, where the emotion seems to be a little 285 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: bit absent and they're gonna let other teams kind of 286 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: run over them. 287 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, we want to hear your conversations. Follow us on 288 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: lad Territory on Twitter. By the way, maybe I should 289 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: just go back. Maybe the reason that we're not winning 290 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: against the Reds and the Pirates is because of me. 291 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: I will take full responsibility. I will book the first 292 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: flight to Los Angeles just because I miss it so much. 293 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: BC. 294 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: Any team that starts Taylor deserves to lose. Don't even 295 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: feel that, all right, I don't know. So Chris Taylor 296 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: gets the start in back to back days we have again. 297 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: I would defend CT three till the day that I die. 298 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: But at some point you got to figure it out. 299 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, is that is that the right answer? 300 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: Starting him again? If he's not a veteran, you're not 301 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: giving him this leash? 302 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 3: Well, no, he would be very far gone, not even 303 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 3: a triple A. This would be somebody that is unemployed 304 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: all a twenty sixteen Max Monci. This is not a person. 305 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 3: It's not a player. I should say he's a great 306 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: human being. I love Chris Taylor. I love his family, 307 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 3: I love his wife. He does great things. But this 308 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: is not a person that is worthy at the moment 309 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 3: of taking major league at bats. Now. I have two 310 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: different paths to go when we're talking about not CT 311 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: three but CT zero point zero eight nine or zero 312 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: nine to eight right now. Stuck the landing on the joke. 313 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: I was going for there job. 314 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: It's all about timing and sticking the landing. You didn't 315 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: do it. I love the tweet, though. 316 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: Blake Harris says, Chris Taylor is hitting below one hundred, 317 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: and you said that's encouraging. That's if those of you 318 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: listening and not watching us right now, this is. 319 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: The whole point. 320 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: Clint Passias said, hitting below what is? What is hitting 321 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: below one hundred? Because hitting below two hundreds the Mendoza line. 322 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: Chris Taylor line, because he could hit under one hundred 323 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: and still have Dave Roberts backing him. And I get it. 324 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: You backed the character, you back the person. But at 325 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 3: some point Dave has talked about it time and time again. 326 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 3: It needs to be performance based. You need to earn 327 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 3: a job, you need to earn your bats. Chris Taylor 328 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: is not earning these at bats now. If they're taking 329 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: this this road trip, this tough six game stretch, and yes, 330 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: I'll include Pittsburgh in the tough six game stretch because 331 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: it was flying back east again. You got Pittsburgh, got 332 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: two high v low kids, and then the powerhouse Yankees 333 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: coming up. If you're throwing Chris Taylor out into the 334 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: middle of the ocean to sink or swim, I'm fine 335 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 3: with that. If this is the put up or shut 336 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 3: up moment for Chris Taylor and he can't figure it out, sorry, 337 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: you're going to be injured or we're gonna eat thirty 338 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: ish million dollars on your contract, I'm okay with that. 339 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: This being the pivot point in Chris Taylor's Dodger's tenure, perhaps, 340 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 3: But if we're still seeing Chris Taylor in September hitting 341 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: a buck twenty and oh he's hitting the ball harder. 342 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: We like what we're seeing. I like to compete, and 343 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: then him getting starts in October, I'm gonna have a 344 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 3: fricking problem with it. 345 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I don't think they can. 346 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: Like I don't think Dave is gonna even I don't 347 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: think Dave will go there. 348 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: I don't think Dave will be a lot to go there. 349 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: By the way, you bring up a good point too, 350 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: It's like, not for nothing, It's not as if the 351 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: Dodgers get through this Pirate series. Let's say they salvage 352 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: a game tomorrow. Obviously they've already lost the series. But 353 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: let's say they salvage a game tomorrow. By the way, 354 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: they're not coming home and they're playing the freaking New 355 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: York Yankees. Like this is I mean, a lot of 356 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: people who have wanted to see the Yankees and the 357 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Dodgers in a world series. 358 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: Uh, this makes me. This makes me quite nervous. 359 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 3: It's it's it's not lining up to be very pretty 360 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 3: for your Los Angeles Dodgers, that's for sure. But all 361 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: of the all the words I just said at the 362 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 3: same time, you don't care a whole lot about these 363 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: games in early June. 364 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: Early to care about games against the Yankees, I mean that. 365 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: That's like I don't give a shit about games against 366 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: the Pirates. The Pirates aren't in the postseason but against 367 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees, I care. 368 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: I want to There's four freaking teams, Clint. 369 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: In the National League that are above that are winning, 370 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: winning teams right now. You know how hard it is 371 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: to make the postseason in the American League compared to 372 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: the Nationally There's four freaking teams in the NL that 373 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: have a five hundred or better record. There's four teams 374 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: in the AL Central that have a record of five 375 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: hundred or better. The Yankees might crush the Dodgers right now. 376 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: I agree, Diane. This is going to be a great 377 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: test of where the Dodgers are. I agree, Diane, What 378 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: the Hell's up? 379 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: I said that on my Monday edition, my Modello Monday 380 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: edition of All Dodgers. I was like, this is going 381 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: to be the kind of pivot point for the season. 382 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 3: I said the same thing about CT just now. But 383 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 3: this is where we kind of learned what this team 384 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 3: is made of and how I'm looking already ahead at 385 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 3: the trade deadline. That's the fun part. That's when people 386 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 3: are most excited when we're talking about trades. Who could 387 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 3: come here. This is where this front office is going 388 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 3: to learn what they really really need to do with 389 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: this team to fix some of the problems. We know 390 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 3: the bottom of the lineup is rough, but also the 391 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: middle of the lineup without Max Munsey has been maybe something, 392 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 3: maybe good, maybe sometimes it maybe shit. And right now 393 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: and they're heading to New York and I'm fine losing 394 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: games in June to the Yankees. Let the national media 395 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: have it. Let your your buddy over there, mad dog 396 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 3: russo have some fun with the Dodgers lose to the Yankees. 397 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 3: I don't care about that right now. Care about October 398 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 3: in the morning. 399 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I care. I care about June. 400 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: Whatever the freak it's going to be seventh, eighth and 401 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: ninth a Yankee Stadium. 402 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: I want to see. 403 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this is, this is supposed to be two 404 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: Juggernauts going heads ahead, equally is decimated by injury. I've 405 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: always thought that the Yankees pitching staff, at least coming 406 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: into this season, was better, and they're by the way, 407 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: they're about to freaking get Garrett cole back. This is 408 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: this is scary to me. I mean, and I don't 409 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: know that it's going to be that I want it 410 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: to be. Obviously, I love this team. I want it 411 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: to be the Dodgers, and I don't give a shit 412 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: in the American League. Who who matches up with them 413 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: in the World Series. But I don't know that if 414 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers meet the Yankees right now in the World Series, 415 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: that's going to be a pretty serious you know, honestly, 416 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: like right now, Ephrin says, the problem is they are 417 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: showing too much weakness against strong pitching. They got to 418 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: figure out those fasketball They got to figure out everything 419 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: effort and they got to figure out fastballs, they got 420 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: to figure out break balls, they got to figure out 421 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: off speed stuff. 422 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: They got to figure it all out.

That means, for example, just in case you 503 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: were wondering, Clint, they all have the same problems, not 504 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: just some of them. And how long it's been an issue? 505 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: What is the argument against the need for a change 506 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: in team approach and hitting leadership? 507 00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: Max, That's a great question. 508 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: I think the thing about a baseball season, it's one 509 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games, and you cannot constantly chase results. 510 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: You have to I know's cliche, but you truly have 511 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: to chase the process and not the results. 512 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: And this team is, by far, I'll say, by far, 513 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 3: one of the best teams in baseball over the last 514 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: decade at process. We know that that is what this 515 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 3: team does well. We've heard teams talk about looking up 516 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: to the Dodgers when it comes to matching their process 517 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 3: from the very top all the way to the bottom. 518 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about this as we go 519 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: to my one cam, but we'll go back to a 520 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 3: two cam on this because I want to ask you. 521 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 3: You're somebody who's been in that dugout plenty years. Only 522 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: you know she's very very young. People, Don't worry, I'm 523 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 3: not saying plenty of years that age. 524 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: I'm old. It's fine, it's fine. I get it. It's cool. 525 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put my I'm gonna put my baseball as 526 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: am hat like you. So I can you know. Yeah, 527 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 2: So I've been I'm old. I get it. But I've 528 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: been in the dugout. I've been around in a long time. 529 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: You've been around these dugouts. You've seen teams be good, 530 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: you've seen teams be bad, and you've seen plenty of 531 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: people call for the idea of change. Uh what what's 532 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 3: your stance on change for the sake of change? Which 533 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 3: maybe I mean this isn't change for the sake of change. 534 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 3: Maybe they do need some change. I'm not talking about 535 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 3: Rob Vnskoyak and the hitting coaches. I'm not talking about 536 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 3: anybody in leadership, but a different a different body just 537 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: being in there, maybe one of the guys at Triple 538 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 3: A before the trade deadline? Does that do any to 539 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: a team? 540 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: Now here's my here's my question. Okay, think about this. Logistically, 541 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: you want to make a change, and you want to 542 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: change the pieces of the chess game, right, who is better? 543 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: Like when you want to make a change when it 544 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: comes to coaching or you want to make a change 545 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: and comes to personnel or a third baseman or a 546 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: first baseman or a right fielder. Who is out there 547 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: that is better? That's the thing, you know, Fans always like, oh, 548 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: let's get rid of this guy. We're gonna we need 549 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: a change, we need we need a different voice, we 550 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: need a different bat, we need a different pitcher. But 551 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: who's out there that's better than what the Dodgers have 552 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: right now? I mean, is it is it more impactful 553 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: to stay with what you have and work with that 554 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: person that is proven, or is it like let's just 555 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: blow the whole thing up and figure it out. 556 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not It's not that easy. 557 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: Like I think more than anybody, Steve Cohen of the 558 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: Mets is realizing how it's not that easy to run 559 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: a team. You can have more money than God, and 560 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: the Mets are probably gonna miss the postseason, you know 561 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: what I. 562 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 2: Mean, Yeah, it's not that easy. 563 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 3: This is just for me. I wish you would slander 564 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: the Angels as much as you do the Mets. 565 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: You love smashing the Angels. 566 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: I don't you know why I don't smash the Angels 567 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: because you know what, They're insignificant to me, the Angels 568 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: are insignificant. 569 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I just they don't. 570 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: They don't, they don't, they don't rank on my like 571 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't care. The Angels are insignificant. They don't pose 572 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: a threat at all. So that's why I don't okay 573 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: with Luis Robert solved the problems of the Los Angeles 574 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: Dodgers right now, Clint, Bob, Bob, the White Sox are 575 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: a shit show, so many problems. 576 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 3: I don't know that any one person solves a problem. 577 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 3: The Dodgers have a very very clear problem at the 578 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: bottom of the lineup, but more so, they have a 579 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 3: painfully clear problem in the outfield outside of Tascar, Hernandez, anybody. 580 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: They're rolling out there, and yeah, Andy pat has is 581 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: kind of coming back into his own he's figuring it 582 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 3: out a little bit. But for the greater part, we 583 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 3: talked about this either Monday or last week. Left field, 584 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 3: right field, sorry, left field or center field. People that 585 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 3: have been out there have been overwhelmingly bad at performing 586 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 3: at the plate. So Luis Robert, who you know, barely 587 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 3: has a handful of plate appearances this year as he 588 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: missed a lot of time with with a hip injury, 589 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: but he has somebody who has some pop, He has 590 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: some you know, panache that comes comes with him. If 591 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 3: he's somebody who could plug into center field, and he 592 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: doesn't need to be the guy here. We already know 593 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 3: they got four dudes who are the guy with Mookie 594 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,239 Speaker 3: Betts who's struggling. But show Heo Tani, Freddie Freeman, and 595 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw Will Smith in there, because most underrated 596 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 3: player in baseball. But if you throw in a lou 597 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: Bob in there, you feel a little bit better. It 598 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 3: masks the loss the missing piece of Max Munsei right now. 599 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: But I don't think we're at a point in the 600 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: year quite yet where we're looking at big trades happening. 601 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 3: Unless the Dodgers are able to overwhelm the White Sox 602 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 3: to get Luis Robert in Dodger blue, there's no reason 603 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 3: for them to trade him yet. You can get more 604 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 3: suitors at the deadline because there'll be more teams tensibly 605 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 3: in it or out of it at that point that 606 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: are looking to well probably in it, that are looking 607 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: to add a center fielder. 608 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: So I feel like the White Socks are on a 609 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: thirteen game losing streak and on Monday, when we had 610 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: our show live Monday afternoon. I said, I'd absolutely don't 611 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: want Tommy Fam. I don't want that energy in the 612 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: in the dugout, in the clubhouse. 613 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 2: I don't want that vibe. 614 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: But you know what with Tommy would would adding Tommy Fam, 615 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: who we know can rate and if he's on your 616 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: team you love him, and he's not on your team 617 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: you hate him, would you be okay with that? As 618 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: far as filling some sort of outfield hole. 619 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 3: So right here there's that that meme where there's like 620 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: the person with the flames behind him and whatever. Yes, uh, 621 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 3: there are so many of us that are that are 622 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 3: all in. We are all aboard the Tommy Fam train. 623 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 3: And it's not just because you know he brings. You know, 624 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 3: he brings the attitude which this team I feel right 625 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 3: at this moment, at this juncture of the season, kind 626 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 3: of needs a little bit of attitude. It needs that change. 627 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 3: But he also is bringing production. He's not somebody who 628 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: is hitting point zero nine eight like a Chris Taylor 629 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: is hitting around two eighty. You could plug him into 630 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: left field and and I understand the trepidation with somebody 631 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 3: like Tommy Fam. He has he has a lot of baggage. 632 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 3: He absolutely does, but he's also one of those guys 633 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: where you want him on your team. That's that's the 634 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 3: perception that I've picked up from reading things about him, 635 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 3: from talking to some people about him, most of those 636 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 3: people not being Jack Peterson. He is somebody you want 637 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 3: in your clubhouse, not playing playing for you, not playing 638 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: against you. And again, the production is there, and that's 639 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: what I care about right now. 640 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of differing opinions on Tommy Fam. 641 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: Noah Ortega saying that he would have yelled instead of 642 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: himself at the plate against the MP. Some folks are saying, no, 643 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: he's toxic. I don't want to deal with it. Michael says, 644 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: Tommy Fam got that dog in him. Yes he does, Michael, 645 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: he does have that dog in him. 646 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know. I don't know the answer. 647 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm I I have not felt and I hate to 648 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: say this, and I'm probably gonna get crushed. I have 649 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: not felt this uncomfortable about a Dodgers team at this 650 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: moment on June fifth. I've not felt this uncomfortable about 651 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: a Dodgers team since I started covering the Dodgers. 652 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 3: Well, that's that's tough because we've seen I know in 653 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: your era tenyure covering the team, there were some questionable teams. 654 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: There were some question marks on those teams. There was 655 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 3: also some really really good teams. Twenty seventeen team should 656 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 3: not have been as good as they were. Twenty eighteen 657 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 3: teams should not as bad as bad as they were 658 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: to make the World Series. Twenty nineteen team was a 659 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: travesty to Dodgers fans that that team was bounced in 660 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 3: the first round. We saw it all come together in 661 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty. But people say what you want about a 662 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 3: sixty game season. I believe it to be a true 663 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 3: World Series because everybody right, because. 664 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: Everybody had to play sixty games, and I think having 665 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: to play a World Series in a freaking bubble. 666 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: I was there. 667 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't easy. And by that not for nothing, twenty 668 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: seventeen was stolen from them. Twenty eighteen Boston was better. 669 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: It was Boston was a better team. But you know, 670 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: thank God for maximusing seven hours and fifty two minutes. 671 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: I'll never forget that game, bottom of the eighteenth freakinning 672 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: in the bowels of Dodger Stadium, trying to like ohkay, 673 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: are they going Are we going out? 674 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: Are we not going out? That whole World series was terrible. 675 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 3: In twenty eighty, my former employer and I were hosting 676 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 3: a watch party with fans at a bar and they 677 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 3: were literally trying to kick us all out because they 678 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: hired a DJ and they wanted to make money and 679 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 3: get Dodgers fans. 680 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: And not for nothing, they probably needed to serve breakfast. 681 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: That game went so frickin' long. 682 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know this is this. I love 683 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 2: this team. 684 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: I bleed blue I always will, but this I just 685 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: don't feel like. I don't I don't feel like they 686 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 1: have that like, oh that they need, you know what 687 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean? 688 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll let I'll say this. Then I'll let you retort. 689 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 3: I will let you, even though you run the show here, 690 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: but I'll let you and then you can get us 691 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 3: out of here. But you saying you you have some 692 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 3: worry at this point in the season does give me 693 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 3: some concern, because again, I've seen some bad versions of 694 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 3: this team. I've seen some team versions of the team 695 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 3: that should be much much better than they produced. I'm 696 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 3: not as worried right now because I think some version 697 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: of the team we saw two months ago in April 698 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 3: where we were talking about is this the best team ever? 699 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 3: Is this the best offense ever? I think this team 700 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 3: is closer to that than this current iteration, this current 701 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 3: abomination of a team that we're seeing on the field. However, 702 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: at some point you need to cut your losses, pull 703 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 3: the plug on some guys like Taylor, Like you know, hey, 704 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 3: I saw somebody in the comments saying, Gavin Lucks has 705 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 3: got is one hundred and fifty at bats. What are 706 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 3: we going to do about this because he ain't in. Yeah, 707 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 3: he's hitting the ball hard. He could ball hit the 708 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: ball hard and it's an out. It's still an out. 709 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 3: You know, they all count the same. They need a 710 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: little help, they need a little little bit of difference, 711 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 3: and you know, hopefully getting beat up by the Yankees 712 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: is a wake up call for them. But we'll talk 713 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 3: more about that tomorrow at twelve pm Pacific and three 714 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 3: pm Eastern. Here. 715 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: Damn, I hope the don't get beat up by the Yankees. 716 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: But you know what, yes, it's easy for us to 717 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: sit here and pontificate about how what they should be 718 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: doing and all the things that they should I've never 719 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: even hit a ball out of the infield, so it's 720 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: easy for me to say. But anyway, like us, give 721 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: us a five star rating.
