Speaker 2: on today. God, to be honest, I am so pissed

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: off about the fricking Broncos and that stupid Super Bowl

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: and why Sean Payton thought it was a good idea

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: to not pick the field goal there get the obvious

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: points early in the game, but no, let's go for

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: it on fourth and one and have it turn on

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: over on downs and then end up losing by three,

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: which is super cool. Yeah, that's great. Not in the

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: least bit because you know, living in Pat's country, being

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: a Broncos fans also a good time. And now I

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: have to listen to Boston radio and news talk about

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: how they're going back to the Super Bowl against the Seahawks. Anyway,

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: how was your weekend?

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: I mean I was fine, you know, I was able

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: to chill a good little bit. I did watch some

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: of the footyball yesterday. Of course, my Eagles aren't playing

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: in it, so I don't really care. I texted you,

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: I said, I'm I'm rooting for your your Broncos because.

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: I hate the Pats. But uh, what a boring looking

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: Super Bowl? Are we allowed to say? What a boring

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: looking big game? There we go? Don't sue me.

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: I don't think we're allowed to say whatever.

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: Either way, I'll be eating and drinking a whole bunch

35

113
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: I adore, big wine drinker, big like really good wine drinker.

114
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: That's the way. He's the head of Dodgers' security and

115
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: he is basically show Hay's like personal security guard. I mean,

116
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: he's with him everywhere that he goes. So for all

117
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: to be thanked says a lot. Because show Hey is

118
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: it's a movement, right, It's not just one guy. I mean,

119
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: it's like this whole thing that comes along with it,

120
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: and the whole access as I understand it now to

121
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in the clubhouse and things that you used

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: to be able to do and you no longer can

123
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: do those things. But I applaud first of all, I

124
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: applaud show Hey for going because I don't believe he

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: went last year. And I really love the fact that

126
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: he did it in English. That's awesome. Good for him.

127
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: It's not easy to do. It's not easy to get

128
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: up there in front of a lot of people, a

129
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: lot of your peers and counterparts and competitors and opposition

130
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: and be able to do that in a different language

131
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: that is foreign to him. So good on him. Do

132
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: you think he ever gets tired? Or will this ever

133
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: get tired? Clint? Will this ever get boring for him?

134
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: I do wonder, Like I love the winning is great

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: part now again. Two time World Series Champion, is four

136
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: time MVP, He's won the World Baseball Classic, like, he

137
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have much else to prove. But I don't think

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: it gets boring for him. I think he has such

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: a drive, such a motivation to be the goat, like

140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: to be the best. And we keep talking about show

141
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: hey a Tani, and honestly, you and I probably we

142
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: don't talk enough show Heytani on this show because I mean,

143
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: he is just it's unicorn. He's a goat, all of

144
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: the adjectives, all of the names that you can call

145
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: somebody that is a beyond a lead.

146
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: That is who Shohio Tani is.

147
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that wants to be considered

148
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: the best of the best, to be uh, you know,

149
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: to put to rest the idea that oh, this is

150
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: the next Babe Ruth or whatever. Like, No, He's gonna

151
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: pitch for probably the next five to seven years.

152
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not that.

153
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: Long, but he's in a pitch he's gonna you know,

154
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: hit five hundred plus dingers in his career, all this

155
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff and maybe win himself another what he

156
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: said he wants ten World Series championships.

157
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: Deal, why not, he's so far, he's two for two.

158
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: Just keep it going.

159
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what he cares about. Like to to

160
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: be applauded, to be lauded by his u, his peers,

161
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: by the fans, and really just to know, like when

162
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: he when he hangs him up like I left it

163
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: all out there, I am the flipping best dude to

164
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: play this game.

165
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 3: I think that's something that really motivates him.

166
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: And until somebody comes along otherwise, he is the best

167
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: in the game. And until somebody can do what he

168
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: does on both sides of the ball, he is the

169
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: best in the game. And until somebody can do what

170
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: he does better, he will be the National League MVP

171
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: until until he's not. There was some other news regarding

172
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: sho hey O Tani, Clint and his fellow countryman fellow

173
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Both Yoshi and Shohei are playing for

174
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: Team Japan and the WBC, Dylan Hernandez, who is now

175
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: with the California Post no longer the LA Times. A

176
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: record eight Major League Baseball players are on Samurai Japan's

177
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: WBC roster. There you see the name Shoheyo Tani, Yoshino, Yammoto,

178
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: Yuki Matsue, yuse Kakuchi, Tomoyuki Sugano, Kazuma Okamoto. Oh, this

179
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: is tough for me, Munataka Makani and say Suzuki, that's tough.

180
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's awesome. I mean that's a stacked team.

181
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: USA is stacked, Japan is stacked. I would imagine again,

182
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna come down to those two teams. Again,

183
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: I have not seen all of the rosters for every

184
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: single team, but I do know that those two teams

185
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: USA and Japan are pretty good. His son Kim for

186
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: Team Korean, and of course Will Smith and Clayton Kershaw

187
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: in addition to the other great players for Team USA.

188
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 2: I like the wbcquint. I don't know how you feel

189
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: about it. I had the opportunity to cover it when

190
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: I was with MLB Network the first time back in

191
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen before I joined the Dodgers exclusively, and I

192
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: was in the Puerto Rico pool with the Dominican Puerto

193
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: Rico Venezuela and I can't I think it was Cube.

194
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: I can't remember the four team. I love it. What

195
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: is your opinion on it? Is it a distraction? Do

196
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: you like it? What is it? You know?

197
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: I could see it being a distraction for a team

198
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers. Then again, they're built for distractions. They

199
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: they go through that every single year.

200
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: There's always something.

201
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Last year it was, you know, opening the season in Japan,

202
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: the year before opening the season in Korea. Throw in

203
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, pandemic shortened spring training, throw another WBC.

204
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are.

205
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: Built for this kind of stuff, So I don't know

206
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be much of a distraction for them,

207
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: but I think it is good, a very good distraction

208
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: for baseball, for fans to amp up and ramp up

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: the excitement of spring training, for people like you and

210
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: Ilana and you know, true baseball people spring training pitchers

211
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: and catchers report. You know, I love February fourteenth because

212
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: usually that means pitchers and catchers are at spring training.

213
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 3: And that's the only reason.

214
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: I loved sake. Okay, so once again gets nothing but

215
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 2: you know that pictures and catchers are there on mid February.

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: I think I see that's.

217
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: A present for her as well.

218
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, where we are a baseball household here, we

219
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: watch it when this season, you know, in season, the

220
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: games are on.

221
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: And that's what we do.

222
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: We well, obviously I watch the game with a different

223
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: kind of angle because I'm trying to find things to

224
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: complain about or whatever we're talking about with the team.

225
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: But she enjoys the hell out of our Los Angeles Dodgers,

226
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, having having meaningful, meaningful baseball being played when

227
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: the meaningless, like the most meaningless baseball is happening during

228
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: spring training.

229
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a lot of fun.

230
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: It makes for weird rosters of course too, because obviously

231
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: you you don't have some of your superstars there. But

232
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: they could find a way to top that last WBC

233
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: with show hey versus.

234
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: I think one of the great moments of the WBC

235
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: was honestly, they're, for lack of a better phrase, they're

236
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: opening ceremonies, if you will. When I saw Mike Trout

237
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 2: walk out with the American flag, that gave me chills, right,

238
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: that was such a cool experience to see Mike walk

239
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: out there with the American flag, and then of course

240
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: to see show Hey walk out there with Team Japan's

241
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: flag or you know, the country of Japan's flag, and

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: I just think it's really cool. I think, you know,

243
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: it's as close as we're going to get to the

244
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: Olympics really of always having the best players in the

245
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: game in one place, the best players in the game

246
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: in the world in one place. I don't know if

247
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: you saw this, but Jose Altuve is not going to

248
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: be playing for Team Venezuela because of the request of

249
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: the Houston Astros. The only thing I reason I bring

250
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: that up. I know that guys on this channel don't

251
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: like the Astros. I understand that completely, but it's my

252
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: understanding that the Astros said, Ney on today, we'd rather

253
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: that you don't play. I think it is a right

254
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: for the guys to be able to play. If they

255
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: want to play for the World Baseball class that can

256
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: represent the country, I think they should be allowed to

257
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: do so. Because if you talk to these guys, Clint,

258
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: there are so many players that say donning my country's

259
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: jersey to me is better than winning the World Series.

260
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they really feel strongly about the want to

261
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: play for their country. So I love it. I think

262
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: it's fun. I mean, I don't need it every year.

263
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: I'm okay with it being every four years. It's okay,

264
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: but I look forward to it. And you're absolutely right.

265
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: When the games are so boring and so meaningless in

266
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: spring training, it's cool to be able to watch these

267
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: guys continue their tune up for the regular season, but

268
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: to have some meaningful baseball behind it.

269
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

270
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

271
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: The biggest thing I care about is just just stay healthy.

272
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: Show Hey, stay healthy, Yamamoto, especially if they're going to

273
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: be pitching. I know there was some conversation about whether

274
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: or not show we'll actually pitch in the WBC. We

275
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: know he's going to hit, and we know that'll be

276
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: good for him and good for the swing for him

277
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: to be hitting. But you know, Yama, I'm like, please

278
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: bubble up that boy.

279
00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: We need him.

280
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: But I mean the same thing for same thing for

281
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: Will Smith. I don't think Mookie is playing in it anymore,

282
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: you know, same thing. Freddie Freeman is no longer playing

283
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: for Team Canada citing personal issues, personal reasons. But yeah, well,

284
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: I mean, bubble wrap all these guys. But you know

285
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: you can't do that right like you can't. You never

286
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen. I mean, Clint Barmess was

287
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: walking up a flight of stairs with a wreck of

288
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: the and brok cloth or whatever the hell it was.

289
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: You know, Tom Brady tripped over a flipping dog in

290
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: his driveway one day. You just never know what's going

291
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: to happen. You just never know.

292
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: So we are all weak and feeble Humans's that's basically

293
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: the summary here.

294
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: But WBC will be fun. That's about it.

295
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: It is fun.

314
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Next we have, obviously it's the most not the most

315
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: exciting time in baseball.

316
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: How about we talk about the future, Clint, because the

317
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: new prospects list just dropped. Let's go to behind the seams.

318
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: That's where we're at, Baby, we got prospects talk here.

319
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: Thanks for talking about prospects some Jerry Hurston Junior told

320
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: me one time, prospects just basically means unproven, unproven talent.

321
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: He's not wrong, he's not wrong. But you're good about

322
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: this stuff. You like the minor leagues. You understand it

323
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: far more than I do. Seven Dodgers are in the

324
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: top one hundred. This is according to our friends over

325
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: at the Athletic who, of course Katie Wu and Ken

326
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: Rosenthal also right for in addition to all their duties

327
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: here on fare and foul and Dodgers. What do you

328
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: make of this? There's four outfielders, a starting pitcher, and

329
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: two shortstops and a Meil Morales, Clint and Alex Freeland

330
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: guys already. You know, the team already knows, the fans

331
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: already know a little bit about Alex Freeland. And then

332
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: there's five in the Major League Baseball pipeline all outfielders

333
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: except for Emil Morales. Your thoughts on.

334
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: This, yeah, I mean you're looking at the list I

335
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: have on the screen, and maybe I probably potentially shouldn't

336
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: have put the athletic list on there because it is a.

337
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: I think it's behy to pay wall, but I did it,

338
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: so sue me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

339
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: But what this tells us is the Dodgers remain strong, strong,

340
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: but uneven because there are a lot of outfield prospects,

341
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: and you know years past that Dodgers have kind of

342
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: had a lot of pitching prospects, whether it's somebody that's

343
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: some of the guys we see now with a Gavin

344
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: Stone with I mean, we're still waiting on Jackson Ferris

345
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: to kind of put it all together.

346
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: It took a little bit of a step back last year.

347
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Potential somebody who would have been on this list, he

348
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: probably should have graduated last year. But the Dodger starting

349
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: rotation actually ended up being okay after a while.

350
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: But they were built on starting pitching before.

351
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Now they're built on a bunch of outfielders that that

352
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: farm system depth and I don't know, again strong but uneven,

353
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: because these aren't a bunch of dudes that are gonna

354
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: help the organization, uh this year, next year, maybe two

355
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: years from now, and we should start to see some

356
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: of these guys maybe trickle in next year. Because what

357
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at is and one of the things Andrew

358
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: Friedman said after the Kyle Tucker introduction was kind of teasing, Hey,

359
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: at some point, this is me paraphrasing, at some point,

360
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: we need to calm down. At some point we need

361
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: to look at at at you know, five years down

362
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: the road, ten years down the road. And what that

363
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: tells me is, some of these guys in the organization.

364
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: You have a bunch of outfielders. You have two more

365
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: years of taoscar Hernandez under contract. Maybe it's gonna be

366
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: two years, maybe it's gonna be three, maybe it's gona

367
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: be four for Kyle Tucker. But one of those names,

368
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: actually I'll put them all back up here. One of

369
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: those outfielders ideally two or three need to put something together.

370
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: The fact that both of these lists are a little uh,

371
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: there's an indecision on Eduardo Kintaro. That just tells me

372
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: like there's there's something that there. It's a really strong list,

373
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: but there's not like a whole lot of consensus. There's

374
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: not a lot of clarity with these guys. And I

375
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: think that's where again I'll go back to the strong.

376
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: But even it's it's a good it's good credit score

377
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, where if they need to trade some

378
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: guys away at the trade deadline.

379
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly what I was going to bring up.

380
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 3: And that's the Ned Kelletti mentality. As you know, that's.

381
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: Part of the thing, right, that's part of the puzzle.

382
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: You're not necessarily signing and drafting guys to be a

383
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: part of the big league club. You're signing in drafting

384
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: guys to be a piece of the overall puzzle. And

385
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: while the Dodgers continue to put a very good team

386
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: on the field year in and year out, they continue

387
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: to have one of the best farm systems in the game.

388
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 2: I mean that says a lot not a lot of teams. Oh,

389
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: Richie Flores what's up man eighty three ninety five still

390
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: have a number one farm system while drafting last every season.

391
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: That's hard to do. There's not many teams that can

392
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: develop a good farm system on a yearly basis and

393
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: produced in that same year. And the Dodgers, as I mentioned,

394
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: one of the good teams that are able to do that.

395
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: So perhaps it's not we're not looking at these guys

396
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: in the right way. If you can throw that list

397
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: up there again, Clint, perhaps you're looking at this as hey,

398
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: maybe these are some of the guys that are going

399
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: to get the Dodgers to where they want to be again,

400
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: and they serve as a trade I think some of

401
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 2: these guys will get some big league time this year,

402
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: is I R Hope River, Ryan Alex Freeland. Of course

403
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: some of these guys, Depaula, will get some big league time.

404
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: But really the greater picture, maybe maybe their purpose is

405
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: to be a trade piece or a trade candidate for

406
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: whatever the whole or whatever the thing is that the

407
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: trade deadline that needs to be filled. That's all part

408
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: of this Andrew free Men Brandon Domes puzzle. You know,

409
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily like, Okay, where are they going to

410
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: slot in this year on the big league field, it's like, Okay,

411
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: how can we utilize what we have to get back

412
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: to the World Series and win it for the thirty

413
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: year in a row.

414
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the fourth and then the fifth and

415
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 3: then the sixth year in a row. Yeah. These are

416
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: the type of dudes, whether it is on.

417
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: The field directly helping this team or it's a trade

418
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: like we saw. You know, they obviously had to trade

419
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: away some talent to acquire let's say, well, Mookie bets.

420
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: They made that happen with a trade when they traded

421
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: yasi Opuigan camp to the Reds to get the headline

422
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: of that package that made the Mookie trade happen was

423
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: was not Cheeter Down. Yeahjeter Downs there and then yeah,

424
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: you look to trade Turner and Max Schers are coming

425
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: over here. Cabert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, a couple of guys

426
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers you know, drafted, developed and developed or

427
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: signed as it actually Connor Josiah Gray was part of

428
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: that Jeter Downs trade from the Reds that ended up

429
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: being a highlight of that trade package to get trade Turner. Anyways,

430
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: if we had if I had more time to spread

431
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: this out. We would break it down better, but we

432
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: try to keep the show to a half an hour

433
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: and I'm talking quick to get through it.

434
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the point is, no.

435
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: You're making you're making up. You're not making up. You're

436
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: making a very good point. I just think that, you know,

437
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: it's not always. I mean, the best trades are the

438
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: ones that benefit each team.

439
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: Right.

440
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: I think you can say that the Red Sox trading

441
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts did not benefit the Red Sox. It benefited

442
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, it didn't benefit the Red Sox. Just be

443
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: grateful that you're not the Boston Red Sox. And traded

444
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: away Rafael Devers after he was given a ten year deal,

445
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: traded away Rafael Devers seemingly to save two hundred and

446
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 2: twenty five million or whatever to spend money. Then they

447
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: let Alex Bregman walk. You know'd be thankful you're not

448
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: the And how the Milwaukee Brewers compete every year is

449
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: beyond me. But when you have a guy like Corbyn

450
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: Burns and you let him go and then oh, by

451
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: the way, we just got rid of Freddy Peralza who

452
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: was with us for eight years, and those types of things,

453
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they win because they're the Central but that

454
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: doesn't play in the East or West division of either league.

455
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: So we're fortunate. We're fortunate that the Dodgers do things

456
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: the right way. I mean, this is funny too, Mike.

457
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: I can't say this, Mike was Zowski everybody, I apologize,

458
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: I do, but I mean Zachtly got us. Chris Taylor,

459
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 2: think about that for a hot second. I will never

460
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: forget that. I was like, who the hell is Chris Taylor?

461
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: Now look right now? Look thank you seeah well, thank

462
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: thanks to the New York Mets for non tendering JT.

463
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks exactly.

464
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: They're all these things like, like, it's funny the way

465
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: these rosters really come together, and you think about, you know,

466
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: those those teams that that you were, you know obviously

467
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: a huge part of covering the the the growth of

468
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: the organization and of the roster. As you know, Goggenheim

469
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: bought the organization, bought the franchise.

470
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: And then just kept building.

471
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Uh you know, Ned obviously started that, and then you

472
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: know Andrew, Andrew was handed the keys and just went Ham.

473
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: But you know Ned was the guy who acquired Agon

474
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: and and Carl Crawford and and you know, so on

475
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: and so forth, and they used some prospects they had

476
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: there at the time. James Loney, a guy drafted developed

477
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: by the team. Jerry Sans part of that trade at

478
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: the time to make that thing happen, make that deal

479
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: uh uh go through, and.

480
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: Then international get get into scouting.

481
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: Who's the famous scout, dang it one Brito, Mike Brito.

482
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: He goes out, he goes out to scout yaha O

483
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Puigue and then also ends up ends up signing and uh,

484
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, identifying, and they signed Julio is such a

485
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: big part of that organization, like it's it's it's it

486
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: is fun when you really peel the pieces back and

487
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: look at how these organizations started. I mean, a lot

488
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: of Ned's early success was built on Dan Dan Evans

489
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: and his regime. And I don't think that dude gets

490
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: enough love and respect for being the guy who drafted

491
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: Chad Billings League, you know, Matt Kemp, And then of

492
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: course Ned's first big trade, Andre Ethi, who became a

493
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: stalwart for the organization for a decade plus. Maybe these

494
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: guys that we see now, Mike Serota, who's in one

495
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: of the guys on that list, maybe he's somebody. You know,

496
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: he was a guy that they acquired in the Gavin

497
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: Lux trade, universally loved on all prospects lists Baseball America

498
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: in there as well.

499
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 3: But you know, as he can be.

500
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: Somebody who helps this organization directly or indirectly on a trade.

501
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's the fun stuff. This is what

502
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: makes baseball.

503
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about a boring ass big game

504
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: coming up right now. This is what makes baseball fun.

505
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: It is a story. I am not a reader. I

506
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: hate reading. I get too bored with movies. But watching

507
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: how like a baseball story turns out. And this is

508
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: the thing I always tell people every year about, you know,

509
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: the long season. Each each section of your season as

510
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: a chapter, and nobody wants it to be the Dodgers go.

511
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: And win one hundred and sixty two games. That would

512
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: be boring to me if the Dodgers were perfect in

513
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: every single way.

514
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 2: I'm just say baseball is so unique and that you

515
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: don't get drafted and play right away, you know, I

516
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: mean baseball it does take some patients. It does tell

517
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: a story. And you know you may have a number

518
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: one unless you are like you know, the Paul schemes

519
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: of the world. Who had a meteoric rise from being

520
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: the overall pick and then is you know, starting in

521
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, opening based starts, all of those

522
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 2: types of things. That's not that's very rare. You know.

523
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 2: It takes some patients and it is you're writing a

524
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: story and it's kind of a love story by the

525
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: time that these guys get up to the big league level,

526
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: because you're drafted and then you kind of go to

527
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: the minor leagues and disappeared unless you're really into following

528
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: the minor leagues and kind of the road to the show.

529
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: You know, you may not see these guys for four

530
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: or five years, you know, if you're lucky. So yeah,

531
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: it's different that way. It's like football. You get signed, drafted, whatever,

532
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: and you're playing in the NFL the next year, whereas

533
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: baseball is just different. It's different.

534
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, patients, patients, it's fun. These names sometimes are meaningful,

535
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: sometimes they're not. You know what the.

536
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers number one picked last year, Kell Lindsay, the shortstop

537
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: who knows what he becomes.

538
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: It would be great if he works. You know what

539
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 3: the guys on this list, Alex Friedland, you know how

540
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: much he would helped his team.

541
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: Well, now we're getting into a different conversation, like if

542
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: these guys working out. But still it's fun. Remember these names.

543
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be, you know, just side characters. They're

544
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna be b list characters, gonna be non playable characters.

545
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be great pieces?

546
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna be important pieces that helped the Dodgers

547
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: win another world series. That's what's fun about it.

548
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: And that's where I appreciate the prospects to a degree.

549
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: Now do I have time to deep dive into all

550
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: of them? Absolutely not, You boys got He's got things

551
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: to do with his life.

Speaker 2: Speaking of things to do, let's get a pup adopted.

553

Speaker 2: super great with kids. She's great with other dogs. She

561
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,440

562
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: dog or with another dog that matches her energy. She's

Speaker 2: a puppy, so she has you know, she has some energy.

564
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: But if she could be with another dog that they

565
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: could play well together, she would do great. She was vaccinated,

566
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: she's spade, She is wonderful. She just needs a chance.

573
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if you saw this before. We

574
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: do end up signing off baseball thought for the road.

575
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: But of course people are a number of fans who

576
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: are watching us are probably fans of the La Rams.

577
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: They are disappointed today the Rams did not advance advance

578
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: to the big Clayton Kersher's bestest.

579
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: Friend in the Hawie world, Matthew Stafford.

580
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: Did you know if they went to high school together?

581
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: It's where did this? How did how did you even

582
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 3: keep that under a right?

583
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.

584
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: But one of the things I thought was really really

585
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: sweet of the organization is of course, we recall last

586
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: year for the World Series, the Dodgers were without the

587
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: services of Alex Vesia as him and his wife Kayla.

588
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 3: Uh dealt with a tragedy with their daughter and all

589
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: of this.

590
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Sterling Vessia, unfortunately was born, did not make it. The

591
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Rams gave some love to the Vesia family. This was

592
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: from Alex's stories on Instagram. The whole team they made

593
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: Sterling a jersey, the whole team signed it and you know,

594
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: unfortunately again they didn't bring it home.

595
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: But that's super sweet.

596
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: That is Yeah, now I love that. I love you know.

597
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: That's something that's really special too. And this this didn't

598
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: really happen at least I didn't notice it very much

599
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: when I was growing up. I didn't notice as many

600
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: of the other professional sports teams in town, like cheering

601
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: on one another. I think that's so cool that teams

602
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: do that. At least it seems more so now than

603
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: they did before. Like you see, you know, for the

604
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: for the Broncos, it's like the Nuggets and the Aves

605
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: and you know, the Rapids and the Rockies, everyone cheering

606
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: them on. And same thing of course with the Rams.

607
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: You know the Kings, and you know the Dodgers cheering

608
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: on the Rams and all the things. That's really fun.

609
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it is a it's a very tight knit community.

610
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: Professional sports and sports are good for business. They're good

611
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: for the population, they're good for the restaurants, they're good

612
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: for they're good for business, and obviously they're good for

613
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: the fans that love that love the sports. So obviously,

614
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: now I have to listen to this garbage for the

615
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: next two weeks until the flippin' Super Bowl. So that's

616
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: that's a good time. Talk talk radio out here is insane.

617
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's insane. But anyway, Thursday, Clint and

618
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: I will be back. We are three weeks away from

619
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,520
