1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: It's like the quantity of moves way overshadow the quality 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: of moves. I don't think that there's any team that 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: made a massive difference in their playoff chances, including the Dodgers, 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: based on the moves that they made. Welcome everybody to 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: the live edition on this Thursday afternoon of Dodgers' territory. 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: We are your host, Clymt Pasias and Alana Rizo. 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Don't forget to like us, Subscribe us, rate us five 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: stars on YouTube as well as wherever you get your podcasts. 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: We're happy that you're with us.

He yeah, all right, 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: So San Diego series not really great. 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Dodgers get swept two game mini series there in 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 3: San Diego. Things feeling bleak even after the busy trade deadline. 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 3: So I think we need to get into where things 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: are at right now with the big ticket. 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: We're behind the teen All right, go ahead. 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: I doesn't say it's really hard to find the positives 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: from that two game set in San Diego. 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 4: A lot of like glass. 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Now. 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: I think there's two things glass now, you know, shoving 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 3: ish for seven innings. That was very nice to see 24 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: because he's been kind of struggling a little bit a 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: little bit. Gavin Luck's kind of continuing to keep things going. 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: A couple of knocks, a couple of RBIs in that series, 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: but other than that, like, there's not a whole lot 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: too like from that series in San Diego. So I'll 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 3: ask you what is going wrong with this very beat 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: up Dodger squad. 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: I feel that's part of it, obviously. 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: I feel like this club is still trying to kind 33 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: of limp their way into this month of August, coming 34 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: off of a rough July obviously with injuries and stuff. 35 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: I also think, you know, they beat themselves. They had 36 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: no business losing that game with Manny that had the 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: walk off there, and you know, this is a long season. 38 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: I will say this, though, I am a bit concerned 39 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: that perhaps our club that we love wholeheartedly is not 40 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: as good as we think they are, are, not as 41 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: good as we want them to be. I mean, we 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: talked about last month or two months ago, we said 43 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: Clint that the NL West was a lock. The Dodgers 44 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: are running away with the NL West right now, and 45 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: one Torebo had this to say catcher Will Smith on 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: the team's recent struggles will come out of it, no 47 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Where the Dodgers were the best team 48 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: in baseball, well, they don't need to start proving that 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: they're the best team in baseball. 50 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: And I do know that. 51 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: Obviously, it's a long season. I recognize that fact. But 52 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: it does bother me that we just don't seem to 53 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: be able to get a lot of traction going right 54 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: now and pull further away from where we need to be. 55 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: And I tell you what, give the Padres and aj 56 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: Pewler some credit. They're four and a half games back 57 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: right now. That is the closest the division has been 58 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: all season long. They went forward at the deadline. 59 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I welcome the competition in the nl WES. 60 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: I appreciate competition. I've been hoping for competition in this 61 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: division for sometimes. You know, let's be real, like the 62 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: Dodgers have not played a whole bunch of meaningful games 63 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: in September in what feels like years, what feels like 64 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: decades at times when you're in this kind of hot streak, 65 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: but you know, usually they don't play these meaningful games 66 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: in September and we see what happens in October. So 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: I like the Padres getting better. I understand where the 68 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: Dodgers are at, and I think a lot of us do, 69 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: even you, Alani, like you know obviously right now the 70 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: situation is they're not playing very good. This isn't the 71 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: club that we were expecting to see in April. This 72 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: is not the club that we're going to see on 73 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: September twenty fifth, or what have you. It's just right now, 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: things are really bad. Things are broken up to and 75 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: including mister every Day isn't even in there. Every day 76 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: Freddy gone having to deal with with a horrible family situation. 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: You have that you're missing Miguel Rojas, you're missing you know, 78 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: Mookie Bets, our pet's heads are falling off. I got 79 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: to get that in on every episode. But at some 80 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: point in time, all of these guys, most of these 81 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: guys are going to be coming back and you're gonna 82 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: feel a lot better. 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: I will say my question though, that's my question, did 84 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: they do enough? 85 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: And you're also banking on all of these massive pieces. 86 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: We know that Freddy's healthy, but families first, right, But 87 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: all of these other pieces that we're banking are all 88 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden going to be back to normal form 89 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: when they are getting healthy. Miraculously, Max Munsey has turned 90 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: a corner as far as the oblique is concerned, and 91 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: it looks like he may be coming back sooner than 92 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: we thought. 93 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: But you're assuming that the Miguel Rojas's. 94 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: Of the world, the Max Muncy's of the world, the 95 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: Chris Taylor's of the world, everybody that gets back from 96 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: the health situation, Walker Rueler, all the stuff, that they're 97 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: going to be effective. Mooky, My god, how do I 98 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: even forget about Mooky? You know? So it's like, did 99 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: they do enough at the trade deadline to compliment what 100 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: we hope to be healthy players coming back. 101 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 3: Said this a little bit on our deadline special where 102 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: where of course our friend Scott Brown pinch hit for 103 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: you in that episode. But they did a lot to 104 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: raise the floor. They gave themselves a lot of optionality 105 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: moving forward. So if X doesn't happen, you have why 106 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: you have Zey. They have guys that aren't going to 107 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: be Kevin Bigio. I'm gonna keep harping on Bigio because 108 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: you know, you guys know me by now. I gotta 109 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: have a guy and Gavin lux is doing well, so 110 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: it's not luxy anymore. But some of these guys that 111 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: just don't make sense for the roster. They're here for, 112 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: you know, right now, a good time, not a long time. 113 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: So if it's a Tommy Edmund who, mind you, has 114 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 3: not played baseball all. 115 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: Season, he's been no big deal. That's fine, No, yeah, 116 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: no big deal there at all. But he can play 117 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 4: some center field. 118 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: They also got Kevin Kiermeyer who plays phenomenal defensive center field, 119 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: but also you know, the bats kind of m I 120 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: a for him all season long. They give himself some 121 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: some again, some options. I met Rosario coming back for 122 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: the second year in a row. He was one of 123 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 3: those guys too. Is he going to be a platoon 124 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: partner for LuxI at at second base? Will he eventually 125 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: become like the third baseman moving forward? They just give 126 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: them so, you know, different ways to kind of fire off. 127 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: And I wonder if that's too much though, Is that 128 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: too much, you know, too much for Dave to kind 129 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: of handle their game. 130 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: That's my point, that's my point I think sometimes too, 131 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, that's saying it's like if you have three quarterbacks, 132 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback. 133 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: If you have three closers, you don't have a closer. 134 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes, so much versatility and so many guys that have 135 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: to bring six gloves to the field means that you 136 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: don't have a lockdown shortstop, You don't have a lockdown 137 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: third basement. You don't have you know, a guy that 138 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: you absolutely want in center field. That worries me a 139 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: little bit. Yet it's like, you know, you know, what's 140 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: that saying that? It's like master of many, you know, 141 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: or it's. 142 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: Like you do all that master of none time. Yeah, 143 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: you know, it's like. 144 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: I mean, the phrase escapes me right now, but it's like, 145 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: you don't I I'd rather have like nine solid people 146 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: out there that are used to that position that they 147 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: play day in and day out. They know where they're 148 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: going to be defensively, they know where they're going to 149 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: be in the lineup. 150 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: You know. 151 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: I just feel like we've got too many moving parts 152 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: right now, too many question marks. There's too many things 153 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: that I just don't feel really great about right now. 154 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: What do you make of. 155 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: Kershaw's recent struggles. I mean, he's had two outings. 156 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: Two outings for Kersh did not look good, did not 157 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: get a lot of help in San Diego and we're 158 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: gonna see, you know, the trade deadline passed, but none 159 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: of these guys outside of Michael Kopek, we haven't seen 160 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: any of these guys yet. You know, Tommy Edmond still 161 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 3: has some time, you know, on his rehab assignment, Kevin 162 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: Kiermeyer taking some time before exiting Toronto kind of getting 163 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: his live squared away. So we haven't seen any of 164 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: these guys. So once again, one of the big problems 165 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: I think the team identified as well, and that's where 166 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: you see the kier Meyer addition, that's where you see 167 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: Tommy Edmund, who is a hell of a ballplayer. They 168 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: identified a very clear area of need with defense, particularly 169 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: in centerfield and the outfield. Just all around defense has 170 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: been a a bit of a struggle, and you saw 171 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: that lead to some issues for Kershaw throwing more pitches 172 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: than he needed to in that game, even though I 173 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: think that the first inning error was was a Lux 174 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: error and Lux has been great, so we're not going 175 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: to harp on that. But too many pieces there on 176 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: Kershaw getting back to Kershaw, I this is supposed to 177 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: be still like his his rehab time. I don't know 178 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: why they only gave him three rehab starts. I was 179 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: never a fan of that. I understand why he wants to. 180 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: He doesn't like pitching in the minor leagues. But there's 181 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: a reason spring training. 182 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: Is a month long. 183 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: Dude, like you, you need to bounce back, take some 184 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: time to bounce back from a shoulder operation, the first 185 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: surgery of your life. But you know, I think that's 186 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: that's where it's at. The command was trash because this 187 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: was his third start, his really his true third start, 188 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: bouncing back from throwing his last pitch in October. 189 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: Let me tell you, though, that what bothers me so much, 190 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: And I'm not. I'm not worried about Kershaw. 191 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: I never have. Even though that his you know, his 192 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: strikeout streak was snapped. It just tells you how good 193 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: Kershaw has been for over a decade, seventeen seasons as 194 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: a Dodger. Didn't have a strikeout in his last outing. 195 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: I don't care. But when your bullpen. 196 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: Has shit the bed basically for the last month of 197 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the season, that like that makes you as a unit 198 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: look really really bad. I mean, people notice when, like, 199 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: when the bullpen does its job, nobody says a ton right, 200 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: like it's like they're they're the goat or the you know, 201 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: or the hero. And I'm not talking about greatest of 202 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: all time. I'm talking about the scapegoat. But when they 203 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: don't do their job, that is a glaring issue that 204 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: They've been pretty good for the majority of the season, 205 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: but this last three to four weeks has not been good. 206 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: I understand, I added Copek, you weren't a massive fan 207 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: of that. I'm okay with it. 208 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 2: I like the move, I'm open to is it enough? 209 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we hope to see Bruce dar 210 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: at some point, you know, but Evan Phillips has kind 211 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: of lost, lost to hold a little bit on that 212 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: closer roll. Yeah, you got to get it together. 213 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's some pieces coming back. 214 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: Michael Grove is is on the men, Bruce dark Graderal 215 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 3: on the men, another guy we have not seen at 216 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 3: all all season. Grove has had some stretches where he's 217 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: been really, really nice. Ryan Brazier another option in the bullpen. 218 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: But then you look at it again. Now you're talking 219 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 3: about bullpen, all of these pieces, who moves, who goes, 220 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: who stays? What is the best version of this bullpen 221 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: and the best version of this bullpen is the one 222 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: that has starters the you know, opening games and staying 223 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: in there, in there for five or six and maybe 224 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 3: even seven. That's been a massive problem. And it's still 225 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: the fallout of losing Yoshino, Yobu yam Moto. Words are 226 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: hard sometimes, you know, not getting anything out of Paxton 227 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: ultimately to the point where you dfa him Stone, struggling 228 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: for the month of July, Glass now being injured for 229 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 3: part of the month of July. All of that just 230 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: leads to this bullpen being overwork. And that's something Dave 231 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 3: Roberts talked about as well. The bullpen needs to get better, 232 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: but the starters need to get better because they have 233 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: beat up this bullpen. We're seeing Alex Vesia, he's his 234 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: velocity is down on the fastball. He's somebody that's overworked, 235 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: trying and losing his command on all of his pitches 236 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 3: at the moment right now, Struggling a good bit over 237 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: the last month. And it comes down to the starters. 238 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: It comes down to the injuries. And luckily the Dodgers 239 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: do add one guy with Jack Flarity, but even Jack Flarity, 240 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 3: a perfect Dodger, comes here with some back issues. 241 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: So talking about why New York Yankees decided to pass 242 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: on Jack Flarity because of the back issue. 243 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: But I do like the move, you know. 244 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: I think that he is a guy that will fit 245 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: in nicely to the rotation. It's kind of funny, though 246 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: we joked on fair territory earlier. Today, it's like he 247 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: fits them perfectly, you know, because he's hurt just like 248 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: everybody else. 249 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: I got one here for you, Alana mad Lad in 250 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 3: the comments here on the show, saying crazy, how Phillip's 251 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: trying to invest you all decided to struggle at the 252 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: same time. A lot of You've been around these teams 253 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: a long time. You've you've seen the inner workings of 254 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: a dugout, of a clubhouse, of a bullpen. There is 255 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: something to momentum, whether it's a good momentum or nomnum, 256 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 3: where everybody's struggling at the same time. And I think 257 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: that's kind of the situation they're in. 258 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: Do you agree? Do you disagree? 259 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: I do? I do. 260 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: You know? 261 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: There's that saying, of course that hitting is contagious, and 262 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: I feel it's the same way the opposite way. When 263 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: guys are struggling, it kind of seems to trickle down 264 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: into it. So you need that, you need that key stopper. 265 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: And again that goes back to the bullpen struggles. It 266 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: goes back to the next the next day starting pitcher. 267 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: That is where your momentum comes from. I mean, if 268 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: the guy that goes out not today because they're off, 269 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: but if the guy that comes out against the Oakland 270 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: Athletics tomorrow, which by the way, the Oakland Athletics have 271 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: the best record in all of baseball in the month 272 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: of July, so it's not as if they're just gonna 273 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: like lay down when the Dodgers get there. 274 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I give Mark cotts say a lot of credit. 275 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: This club has not given up, despite not having a 276 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: home to play in and and you know, and missteps 277 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: all the way from their organization. But the momentum starts 278 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: with the start that day starting pitcher. So if they 279 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: can go out there and you know, pitch really well 280 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: for five, six, seven innings, that would be tremendous. Let 281 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: the bullpen the day off helps, but let the bullpen reset. 282 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: And I just I this has been a really strange stretch. 283 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: July was a really strange stretch for this club. And 284 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because it's those dog days 285 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: of summer. I don't know if it was because of 286 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: the All Star break and the layoff. I don't know 287 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: if it's because you know, we have obviously a lot 288 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: of injuries, and I guess better now than in September. 289 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: But four and a half games with the Padres team 290 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: does not make me feel great. 291 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: No, I mean, what, yeah, what is your concern level here? 292 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: I know our producer Mark put in the background. Is 293 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 3: it a four alarm fire? Is it spicy food? Are 294 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 3: you just showing where's where's your concern level at with 295 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: things right now? I'm knowing a month from now most 296 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 3: of these pieces could or should be back. 297 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 4: What's the concern level? 298 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: I mean, is it like a one to ten scale? 299 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: Is that where we're talking about? I'm like, I'm gonna 300 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 2: I'm at a six, I'm at. 301 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 4: A seven, A little bit of something. There's a little smoke, 302 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 4: a little bit. 303 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit concerned because you don't know what 304 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna get from Munsey and Mooky and Miguel and. 305 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 4: The Mounsy ones. A worry Mookie I feel good about. 306 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: It's about where he's gonna play and that kind of 307 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: you know, you know, how do you work in all 308 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: these guys what we're already talking about. So I'd say, 309 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: let's let's let's kind of shift into because we haven't 310 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: gotten much on your reactions at least here on this 311 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: show on Dodgers territory about this trade deadline. Let's get 312 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: into what is actually the big ticket. Let's get your 313 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: reaction and thoughts on the trade deadline. 314 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: I like I like the I like the Copeck move, 315 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: I like the Flairty move. I really would have loved 316 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: Tanner Scott uh in the in our bullpen. 317 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: Uh. 318 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: You know, I thought that would have been great. I 319 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: know you really wanted est soak parades at third base, 320 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: although that move happened before. Apparently Munsey Uh turned a corner. 321 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: So we'll see. Yeah, we'll see in terms of that. 322 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: I just I don't went last year when Walker Buehler 323 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: and Bobby Miller and Scott Burn just brought this up 324 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: in the chat last year, when those two guys were 325 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: on the hill, like there was just something special there. 326 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: Right, there was the fire, there was the conviction. 327 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: Not Buehler, but when when Bobby Miller was on the 328 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: hill and when Bueler was on the hill. 329 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: Two years ago. 330 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: There was just something special about that. You know, when 331 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: Kershaw's on the hill, you feel pretty great about your chances. 332 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: This year, it's basically glads. 333 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 4: Now, that's who you. 334 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: That's that's who you feel good about. 335 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: That's who I feel good about. 336 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: He doesn't have the experience. It doesn't have that. 337 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the he doesn't have the you know, 338 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: the backside of the baseball car. 339 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: Again, I'm not saying he's not good, but I like 340 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: that move. Yeah, pitch for us yet, but I like 341 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: I like that move. 342 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 4: I do. 343 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: I think it's good. But you know I would rather 344 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: have Blake Snell. I know that they're not going to 345 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: trade him in the division. Yeah, but you know, I'm 346 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: okay with it. I give the Dodgers a b I like, 347 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: I love this squad. I still believe in this squad. 348 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: I just need them to get out of this funk 349 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: soon because it's making me in a funk and I 350 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: don't like it. I'm not concerned over Jack Flerty's medicals 351 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: because I don't think Andrew Friedman and our medical team 352 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,239 Speaker 1: would have signed Jack Flerty if it was so egregious 353 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: and so terrible that they didn't think that he was 354 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: going to be able to perform for them, So I'm 355 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: not concerned about that. 356 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Flarity, I love the idea And I said this 357 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 3: to Bronnie on on Wednesday on Tuesday, I love the 358 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: idea of seeing this dude get even better, potentially even 359 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: better working with Mark Pryor and company. We know what 360 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: that with this organization can do with pictures. He comes home, 361 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: he's already excited. So you have your guy with that 362 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: front line potential, even though you know he doesn't have 363 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 3: you know, the Cy Young Awards, he doesn't have the 364 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 3: All Star Berths or whatever. He's still a guy that 365 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 3: has some aura, that has some bravado, something like you 366 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: were just saying. 367 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 4: You were just mentioning something. 368 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: That Bobby Miller had at points last year, did not 369 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 3: have it in his his loan postseason appearance, something that 370 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 3: Walker Bueller has had when he's right throughout his career 371 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 3: as a Dodger. So if Bueller's not going to be 372 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: that guy, Jack Flaherty can be that guy. And this 373 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 3: team always performs better when they have that one guy 374 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 3: who's like, yeah, no, I'll I don't give a shit, 375 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: I give me the ball. I'll stop this problem that 376 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: we're at right now that we're having. You need to 377 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 3: have stopper. You need to have as many stoppers as 378 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: you can get. So if if Yamamoto doesn't come back, 379 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 3: you have you give yourself one more guy that you 380 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 3: can throw in there in that one or two, you know, 381 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: second start of the postseason, whatever it is, and and 382 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 3: you hope that he's going to give you something that 383 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: was better than what we saw last. 384 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: Year with Here's the thing about this line, too. The 385 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: amount of trades certainly overshadowed. It's like the quantity of 386 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: moves way overshadow the. 387 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: Quality of moves. 388 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: And the reason being I think Ken and I to 389 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: Ken Rosan Rosenthal and I talked about this this morning 390 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: on Fair Territory. I really truly believe there's only two 391 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: players that would have could have been traded that would 392 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: have changed the legitimate landscape of what the postseason picture 393 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: looked like. Those names are Trek Scougel and Blake Sail, 394 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: and neither one of those guys were moved. I don't 395 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: think that there's any team that made a massive difference 396 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: in their playoff chances, including the Dodgers, based on the moves. 397 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: That they made. Do I believe that this team will 398 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: win the division? Yes? 399 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Do I believe that they will go deeper into the 400 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: postseason that they have in the last two years, Yes, 401 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: But there's not I remember a few years back when 402 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: we were flying on basically on the trade deadline, and 403 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: I think I think it was Jock that was like 404 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: walking back on the plane when we were flying and 405 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: he's like, we just got darbish, Like those were the 406 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: types of moves that you're like, okay, like here we go, 407 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: you know, and we got when we got Sureser and 408 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: Trey Turner and all of that stuff. You know, I 409 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,239 Speaker 1: were like, all right, you know, let this is what 410 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Like, there really weren't any moves this 411 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: season that I was like, holy crap, Like they got 412 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: so much better. Like when Verlander got added to the 413 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: Houston Astros roster the first time, not coming from the Mets, 414 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: but the first time he became an Astro, I was like, Okay, 415 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: the Astros just got a lot better, you know, I didn't. 416 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't feel like that this season. I don't feel 417 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: like there's been one team that really increased their Now 418 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: that could be because twenty two teams were buying and 419 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: only eight were selling. You know, I just don't feel 420 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: like there was a team that got dramatically better or worse, 421 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: except for the White Sox. 422 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 2: But I don't know what the hell the White Sox 423 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: are doing anyway, argue then you know, then I. 424 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: Mean, do you I think if if Trek Scouble would 425 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: have got dealt I mean, granted he's going to take 426 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: a haul, or if you know, or if Blake Snell 427 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: went anywhere, which I think the Giants would be stupid 428 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: to let him go, because you know, you could you 429 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: he's a great arm But do you feel like anyone 430 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: got well? I mean, he does have two so Young Awards, 431 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: but I understand in the years that he. 432 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 4: Hasn't the Giants really in it? Uh? 433 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 3: To the question there, this was just a bad deadline. 434 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: It did not have the marquee pieces, the marquee names. 435 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: There were some guys that were dudes, some guys that 436 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 3: are very good additions to UH to a ball club. Scott, 437 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: he's talking about, here's got bronze and Flaherty making the Yankees. 438 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: Look he will I think he will. In Dodger Blue, 439 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 3: he was the best guy. He was the clear far 440 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: and away front runner, best arm that was available to 441 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 3: actually be traded Jack Flaherty and the Dodgers got him, 442 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 3: Trek Scoogle. We said it before, the Tigers would have 443 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 3: to be the stupidest ball club and all of the 444 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 3: world to trade away their their cy Young Award front 445 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: runner front runner at the moment uh in the American 446 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 3: League Crochet all of the stuff surrounding that he wasn't 447 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: going to be moved. 448 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 4: Blake Snell was never going to be traded. 449 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's a lot of like worry 450 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: with that contract as well and the option and all 451 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: of that. So for me, the Dodgers did everything they could. 452 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 3: This front office did everything they could to give themselves 453 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 3: some options and raise the floor, like they already said, 454 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 3: because we've seen so many of these pieces that on 455 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 3: the roster that are on the roster now that just 456 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: they're not playoff caliber players for the Los Angeles Dodgers 457 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 3: for all the expectations that come with this team. 458 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: But just brought up a really good point. He said, 459 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: you can spend all the money in the world. Jeremy, 460 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: thanks for the conversation here on Dodgers' territory, so you 461 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: could spend all the money in the world, and it's 462 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: not going to match that twenty seventeen team. And I 463 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: don't know if that's the best Dodgers team that I've covered. 464 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: I mean, twenty nineteen was pretty damn good too, and 465 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: so was eighteen. 466 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: So it's tough. 467 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, the twenty seventeen eighteen Daughters were 468 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: built by Ned Colletti, not Andrew Friedman. That's the difference. 469 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: That's not true too. I mean, Andrew Friedman's done a 470 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: lot of really I mean, yes, was the architect to 471 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: begin with, but Andrew Friedman has done a lot of 472 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: really good things for this club too. 473 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 3: So this team, to me right now, this twenty twenty 474 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: four team feels closer to what we saw in eighteen 475 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 3: than any other years because eighteen had a bunch of platoons, 476 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: guys that were kind of not willing. They didn't want 477 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: to play in, you know, the positions they were put in. 478 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 3: Obviously Matt Camp didn't want to be playing in the 479 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 3: petitions he was in yasi opuigue and all that. But 480 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 3: there was guys that understood, you know, roles and needs 481 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 3: for the organization and for the team that day, and 482 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: I think that's the mentality this team needs to have 483 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 3: moving forward, because, like, like we already talked about, talked 484 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: around a lot, there's there's so many pieces when and 485 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 3: if everybody comes back and is healthy that I don't 486 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 3: know how you shake it all out. 487 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 4: I don't know how you and I don't. 488 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't remember the twenty eighteen team being hurt that badly. 489 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: I mean, from wire to wire, our team has been 490 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: our team has been hurt this year. 491 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, this year has been bad. 492 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: It's been really bad. And again, no one's going to 493 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: feel sorry for the Los Angeles Daughters, I get it. 494 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Houston Astros starting rotation. They've 495 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: had some key guys. I mean the Tampa bay Rays, 496 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: the three fourths of the three fists of their rotation 497 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: is on the IL. I mean the Baltimore Orioles lost 498 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: you know means, and you know they've lost three guys 499 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: in their starting rotation too, So nobody feels badly for 500 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: these teams. But I don't remember a team in which 501 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: there were so many question marks and so many holes 502 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: and like just the what ifs? Okay, how are these 503 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: guys going to be when they come back? You know, yes, 504 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: versatility is key, but you get to the point we 505 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: just talked about where it's maybe it's too much changing 506 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: of positions and moving around and you don't have that 507 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: familiarity and just the constant knowing of where you're going 508 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: to be on the field and in the lineup. 509 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 4: These guys are ball players. 510 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 3: Figure it out, like like my best version of Mookie Bets, 511 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: I don't. 512 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: He doesn't. 513 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: He should not be playing one position for this team. 514 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: Dave Roberts even alluded to that when he spoke with 515 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: media on Tuesday. He was asked about, you know, where 516 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: is Mooki going to play? He's not committed to playing 517 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 3: him at shortstop. Even if Mooki is working out at 518 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 3: second or at shortstop right now. I think Gavin Lux 519 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 3: playing well really throws a wrench through a wrench in 520 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 3: their Mookie Bets planned when he was coming off the 521 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 3: I l But if it's shortstop that day, he needs 522 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 3: to be willing. 523 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 4: To play there. 524 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 3: If it's second base that day, he needs to be 525 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: willing to play there. Right field, center field, hell, even 526 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: left field. Swallow you probably what about this? 527 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 2: What about this? 528 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: Put Mookie back and right, put taoskcar and center and 529 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: put Keermyer on left. 530 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 3: Well, Taoscar and Endaz is not a center fielder his 531 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: best position by far, Like, if they're looking for. 532 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: Uh, then put mok in center Where do you want 533 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: to say. 534 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 3: I wanted, thank you, But then you bring bringing this 535 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 3: keer Meyer factor and nobody's gonna be there. Well, that's fair, 536 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 3: and nobody's gonna be the defender in center field that 537 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 3: keer Meyer is, so realistically, the best spot for Mookie 538 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: could be in left field, where there is no clear 539 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 3: left fielder on this team. Taoscar Hernandez needs to be 540 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: in right field. The numbers, everything about you love the 541 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 3: dude needs to be extended. Now we'll talk about him 542 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 3: in a second, but he needs to be in right field. 543 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 3: If this team wants to, you know, go far in 544 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: the postseason, Mookie Bets could be in left and if 545 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 3: ker Mayer can figure anything out, and obviously you know 546 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 3: this is just just just saying ship on the internet here. 547 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: I don't think the team would ever allow themselves to 548 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 3: put Mooki Bets in left field. 549 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 4: But again, that's where it's about. 550 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 3: It's about the pride and what's best for the organization 551 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: that particular day. 552 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 4: Everybody defensive outfielder. 553 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: Huh, Kevin kier Meyer now Dodger's best defensive outfielder. 554 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 3: I mean, you can argue he's the best defensive outfielder 555 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: in baseball, like the things he does with love. 556 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: So that's a phenomenal that's a phenomenal pickup. Great, so 557 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: let's put let's put ker Meyer in left. I'm fine 558 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: with Mooki and center, and I'm fine with Tay Oscar 559 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: and right. 560 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 2: There's your outfield. 561 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: That's a that's a world sinning, World Series winning outfield. Next. 562 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 4: I like it. 563 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 3: I mean, but the thing is Will will have that 564 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: conversation with MOOKI, is that like a non starter. 565 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: The idea of moving back Mookie will catch. 566 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: Mookie burns to win. He doesn't care like Mooky. Mooky 567 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: wants to win another another ring. 568 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 2: Like he's not. 569 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: Mooky's not selfish, He's not selfish, all right? 570 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I I hope I that because that's where 571 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 3: everything's shaping up, especially if you want to have your 572 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 3: best defense at shortstop as well. That's Miguel Rojas or 573 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 3: even right now, Nick Ahmed. He is a multi time 574 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 3: goal or at least one Gold Glove Award winner, at shortstop. 575 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: Nick Godmend's not going to be on the roster when 576 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: he's not making the postseason roster. So my point is, 577 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: you put you put Mooki and right, you put Kevin, 578 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: or you put no, You put ta Oscar and right. 579 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: You put Mooki in center, you put Kevin in left, 580 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: You put Miguil Rojas at short, you put Gavin at second. 581 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: You hope to God that Max Onnzy has turned the 582 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: corner and he's fine. Freddie obviously is back at first. 583 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: Max is at third, obviously, big Willie style behind the plate. 584 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: Who's your start? Who's your number one starter in the postseason? 585 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: Right now? 586 00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 4: Is Yamamoto healthy? 587 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: Every Everyone's healthy, our entire, our entire twenty six man 588 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: rosters health over Tyler? 589 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah.

I'm taking Tyler. Tyler's my 595 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: number one starter. 596 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 4: Hey, I love that. 597 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 3: There's not really a wrong answer for this, because in 598 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: the past there have been wrong answers for the Dodgers. 599 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 1: All right, five game series in the DS, who's your 600 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: who's your who are your free starters? 601 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 3: If we're talking about right now and everybody's healthy, Yamamoto Glass, now. 602 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 4: Flarity and then Clarity. 603 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 3: Okay, I mean you don't go out and get Jack 604 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 3: Flarity and not start him in. 605 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: This over Bueller over kersh Over. 606 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean Buehler at this point, I think 607 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: the Jack Flarerity trade kind of spells they don't feel 608 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: very confident in Walker Buehler, and I've felt that way 609 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 3: ever since they kind of nixed his late season comeback 610 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: at tenth last year. 611 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 4: What we've heard Dave Roberts. 612 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 3: Say about Walker Buehler and at different points in spring 613 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: training mentioning, you know the stuff, just kind of not 614 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: being there and them needing to see some more things 615 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 3: out of Bueller before he comes back. 616 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 4: I worry about that kid. 617 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 3: We may have seen the last of him in Dodger Blue, 618 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 3: but that's that's just the reality. 619 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: A lot. 620 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 2: Feel like we've really solved a lot of problems here today. 621 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: I feel like we have put together an unbelievable freaking 622 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: starting lineup and postseason roster. 623 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: I love to be out there now. 624 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: I mean I'm a little concerned about Kevin Heiermeyer's back. 625 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 1: But that's right, that's okay, like just defense, defense, defense. 626 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: But I think the top of the order is going 627 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: to be just enough.

It's it's not perfect. 630 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: I don't know there are many teams out there that 631 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 3: are perfect. But I like what they did with what 632 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: was available and knowing what's coming back. Big X factor 633 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 3: in all of this. We haven't mentioned really much of 634 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: Max Munsey.

What is your favorite Vin Scully moment? 650 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would say just it's not a moment. 651 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: It's growing up listening to Vin. And you know, one 652 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: thing I will always kind of say, is we we appreciate, 653 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: you know, Baseballism obviously for sending us some things. You're 654 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 3: wearing Baseballism. I'm wearing Baseballism. But we love the brand. 655 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: And I love that they made this Vin Scully hat 656 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 3: because I do get to proudly display it in my 657 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 3: in my my shop here and wear it. But the 658 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 3: one thing I'll say, and you know, I'm setting myself 659 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 3: up for failure because I have one of the ogs 660 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 3: from SNLA. 661 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 4: But the one thing I. 662 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 3: Hate is that people were robbed of the last few 663 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 3: years of his career because of the blackout that happened. 664 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 3: It was horrible. It's awful that so many fans, the 665 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: next generation of fans, didn't get to grow up with 666 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 3: Vin like so many of us did. Vin was not 667 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 3: he was not a broadcaster, he was your friend. You 668 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 3: were hanging out with Vin Scully listening to and watching 669 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: a ball game, and that was just like a beautiful 670 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 3: thing I think for many of us growing up watching 671 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: Dodger baseball here in Los Angeles and people all over 672 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 3: the world watching Dodger baseball. But that's my thing, that's 673 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: my Vin Scully moment. I'm sure you have real, honest 674 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,479 Speaker 3: Vin Scully moments because you got to be around him. 675 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: No, I mean, yours is honest, Yours is fair. I 676 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: mean he spanned generations. 677 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean he's everything to our grandfathers and to our 678 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: grand kids. I mean he is a fixture in Dodger 679 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: baseball for decades and decades and decades, and just a 680 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: wonderful human being. I remember when I was covering the 681 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies and the Rockies were at home and Corsefield, 682 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers came into town and Vin. This is 683 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: when Ben was still traveling, and you'd go all over 684 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: the place. And he comes into the to the media 685 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: dining area and I come in and this was pretty 686 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: young in my broadcasting career, but of course everybody knows 687 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: who Vin Scully is, right, So I walk into the 688 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: media dining room, and he's like, you must be, honey, 689 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: because look at all the bees around you. 690 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: And you know what it's like when it's Vin Scully. 691 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: That says that to you, Like he's just the sweetest 692 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: man in the world, and what you think he is 693 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: by watching him and listening to him, that's who he was. 694 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: And he's just such an amazing, amazing human being. And 695 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: I'll always treasure of the years that I got to 696 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: work with him and be in the same vicinity as Vince. 697 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: So we miss you and we love you very much, 698 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: and obviously thinking about Vin's friends and family and all 699 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: of that.
