1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: He has some big moments for this organization in postseasons past,

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: but maybe there's some point in time where you can

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: kind of hand off that mantle to the next generation.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everybody. Let me not fix my head. I

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: was all over the place on the Welcome everyone to

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: a live edition, brand new edition of Dodgers Territory. We

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: are your hosts. That is Clint to see us. I

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: am Alana Rizzo. Let's get right to it, Clint, don't

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: forget everybody to like us, subscribe, tell everybody about us.

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: We appreciate it very much. Tubin, as Clint likes to

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: say on YouTube, is wherever you get your podcasts as well.

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: Let's get to the big ticket, my friend.

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: All right.

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: So we have a couple of things to talk about,

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: of course, over the course of the next half an hour,

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: about your Los Angeles Dodgers. My biggest concern is again

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: the moves that we're making and the holes that are

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 2: left because we Havebby Miller that goes triple A option.

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: We have Gavin Stone that's been triple A option, or

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: Michael Grove rather sorry, and then you get Joe Kelly

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: of course that's activated off of the IL. So again,

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller not looking great. Not an answer for me

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: in the postseason, but we're still trying to figure things out.

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, pitching wise, you know what, Let's focus on the

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: positives first a little bit. The Dodgers proNT of you.

27
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are scoring some runs right now, and that's

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: what you want this organization to do. Score more points

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: than the other team. It's crazy. When you do that,

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: you can win some ballgames. Ugly one, of course, in

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: that series opener against the Marlins, but so far was it.

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Bat's cooking twenty six runs over their last three games.

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: A little bit of everybody doing something. I'm calling him

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Tommy Bombas these days, everybody's got a different name for Tommy.

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Edmund he's doing big things. Max Munts, he's in there.

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Kiky Hernandez absolutely murdered a baseball last night for a homer.

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: There's only kind of one piece that's not doing all

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: that hot, and that's our friend Gavin Lux. So you're

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: in a good spot. If there's one kind of weak

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: point in the lineup, I feel pretty good about that.

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: Where are you at first, before we talk lucks, Where

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: are you at with what you're seeing from this offense.

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: I mean I like it. The production up and down

44
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: the lineup. I think that's what you're gonna need. I've

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: never hesitated to think that the Dodgers' offense is going

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: to score some runs. Right we know they're going to

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: put runs on the board. My biggest concern is can

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: they stop the opposition from putting runs on the board.

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: So I'm not worried about what the offense can do.

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: We know that there are very few holes in this lineup.

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: I think they've answered the bell as far as the

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: bottom part of the order not being as productive. I

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: think it's gotten a lot better consistently since that was

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: a narrative a couple of months ago. I understand, you know,

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: you know, Lux was the weak link right now, But

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: I still have the utmost faith in what he can do. Obviously,

57
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: he tweaked to swing over the All Star break, he

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: worked with his uncle. Things are getting okay again, so

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: I'm not concerned about him again. No one's going to be,

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: you know, perfect for the entire season, so I'm not

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: worried about the offense again. The pitching staff concerned me

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: a little bit. I know, I sound like a broken record.

63
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: I don't mean to be, but here we are less

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 2: than two weeks until the regular season is over, two

65
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: weeks until the wildcard round starts, and I don't know

66
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: that we have the strength that we need in the

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: best of five series.

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I you know, I'm in a real

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: tough spot here because whenever I talk positively about the

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: pitching staff here on the internet, they go out and

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: absolutely just they don't even shit the bed. There's diarrhea

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: everywhere on bed. I can't like in my good faith

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: and knowing the power that my words have here on

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the internet to the baseball gods. I don't want to

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: say a lot of positive things, but as behind the

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: seams topics right now, you know, you like what you

77
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: saw out of land and Nack last night. He's really

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: just had one stinker this year, and that was against

79
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Atlantas in his most recent start or start prior to

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: this Marlin start. And yes, I understand it's the Marlins,

81
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: so you take it with a grain of salt, but

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: he looked really good at some points there when he

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: found his pinpoint command it was pinpoint. I mean, you

84
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: watched the highlights. Jerry Harrison Junior broke it down last

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: night on the post game. I mean, this kid was

86
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: dotting every pitch and when he has those working. Yeah,

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: he's not Tyler Glas. Now, he's not Yamamoto, he's not

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: an ace in name, but he could be one of

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: those sneaky weapons that sneaks up on a team in

90
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: a postseason series. So, whether they use him as an opener,

91
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 1: whether they use him as well or sorry a starter,

92
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: or they use an opener and have him in a

93
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: bulk roll, I think Landon Nak could really do some

94
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: dangerous things in a positive way for this baseball team

95
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: in October.

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: One thing I wanted to talk to our audience about

97
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: to Clint and I want to get your opinion on

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: it is let's talk postseason roster. Obviously, we still don't

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: know if they're going to win the division, we still

100
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: don't know what seed, they're going to be, home field,

101
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: those types of things. We know that they're going to

102
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: be in the postseason. So with what you've seen on

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: this roster so far over the course of one sixty two,

104
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: in addition to what you've seen guys like Chris Taylor

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: do in the postseason, who's on that postseason roster for

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: you as far as like a utility infielder outfielder. Is it?

107
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: Is it CT three going two for four over the

108
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: course of the series? Is it? You know Andy pae has?

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: What if you had to choose, who were you.

110
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Taken so that the battle for that last roster spot,

111
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: one of Kevin Kiermeyer or Andy poe Has or CT

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: three will not be on the roster. That's just a

113
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: reality they have to face. I think this team loves

114
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: what kier Meyer brings to the table in the outfield.

115
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: I think they need to love what Andy Poie has

116
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: can bring in terms of potential power. He's got a

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: cannon in the outfield. Chris Taylor looks to be the

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: odd man out, even if he's having an OK September.

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're being very selective about when they start him.

120
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: But with Chris Taylor, he's you know, you have Kei

121
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: ka Hernandez can do everything Chris Taylor can do. You

122
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: technically have Tommy Edmond who can do everything that Chris

123
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: Taylor can do. So if you have that extra outfielder,

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: if Kevin Kiermier is a guy who's going to be

125
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: in center field while well, let's say Edmund plays some

126
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: short or some second or third whatever is kind of

127
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: needed of him. I think having that that right handed bat,

128
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: the right handed power bat with Andy Pajz goes a

129
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: lot further. And he's also absolutely destroying left handed pitching

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: and that's what gives him the edge in my opinion.

131
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: And this is what I'll ask you, though, you know

132
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor. You know how that clubhouse that front office

133
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: views Chris Taylor. Can they put that love affair with

134
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: CT three behind them to put potentially arguably a better

135
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: complete roster out there in the postseason.

136
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: I really struggle with this because it needs to be

137
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: what have you done for me lately? I mean, if

138
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: I'm a business owner, to make sure you're going with

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: the hot hand and who gives me the best chance

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: to win. Right now, the other part of me, the

141
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: human side of me, remembers Chris Taylor coming up so

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: clutch in the twenty fifteen twenty sixteen like postseason timeframe.

143
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: I understand that's many years ago. I get it, but

144
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: he has had a really good postseason in his history

145
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: as a Los Angeles Dodger. You know, co MVP. I

146
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: believe with Keiky Hernandez for the nc CS, and they'll

147
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: see us, I think. But I again, I love Myers,

148
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: I love ker Meyer's defense. To me on the Andy

149
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: pa Has doesn't have the resume yet, so if I'm

150
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: gonna have one odd man out, I mean numbers, if

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: you look at September, they're almost identical between Taylor and

152
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: pa Has. Pa Has doesn't have the experience. So I'm

153
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: taking ker Meyer and I'm taking CT three.

154
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: I think people in the chat feeling a little bit

155
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: different our friend Diana, I can't rely on TT three's

156
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: bat in there. People seem to be liking the Kevin Kiermyer,

157
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: you know that option late in the game, because his

158
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: glove can win you some some ballgames, especially late in

159
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: the game if you need to kind of go with

160
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: a defensive replacement. Let's say Pa Haz does start against

161
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: a left handed pitcher, you got kier Meyer, who could

162
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: close out a game. Jason bringing up that Paz defense

163
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: is a little suss. It has been a little suss

164
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: at times. He's not a center fielder. He's more of

165
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: a right fielder is Andy po Has, But there are

166
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: times where he when he's engaged, he can play a

167
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: really good outfield, and he does have a rifle for

168
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: an arm. Did gun down I forget who but gun

169
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: down a runner here in this.

170
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: You just brought something up though, You just said something

171
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: that is like a buzzword of me. When he's engaged.

172
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: I mean, shouldn't you always be engaged when you're out there?

173
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't, I don't. This is not an opportunity.

174
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know you misspoke or if

175
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 2: you think that there's some times where he's not necessarily,

176
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: you know, fully invested in what's going on. This is

177
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: the time of year that you better be. I mean,

178
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: you can't have these mental mishaps. You can't have things

179
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: like you know, these games are going to be close typically,

180
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: you know, postseason games are very tight. You can't have

181
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: a guy that's out there, you know, picking dandelions in

182
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: the outfils. I'm not saying Plaies is doing that, but

183
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: I know that Chris Taylor is going to be locked in.

184
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: I know that there's just a veteran presence with those

185
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: two guys. I think we have a lot of the

186
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: same dudes. You know, we have the Tommy Edmonds, we

187
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: have the Chris Taylor's we have the key k's. You know,

188
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: we have a lot of the same type of people.

189
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: By the way, ask Diane if she got her baseballs

190
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: and stuff.

191
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: I want to know, Diane Sallis, it's below Christopher Norris

192
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: is CT forty three. Not the same player as in

193
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: the past. So going back to what you said, there's

194
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: two things we could dive in to here and then

195
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: we'll move on. But with Taylor not being that guy

196
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: in the past, you mentioned like this being a what

197
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: have you done for us lately? Kind of league, but

198
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: yet you're we're still talking about. The last big playoff

199
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: moment for Chris Taylor was in two thousand and one

200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: or twenty one, and that was a big moment where

201
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: he walked off against the Cardinals, you know, in the

202
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: wild Card series. Yeah, that was massively important. But he

203
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: hasn't really done much since then, really much of anything

204
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: since signing that big contract. Not to say I don't

205
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: love Chris Taylor, but when you're looking at trying to

206
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: put your best thirteen position players on a roster, that

207
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: can do some things to help you win a ballgame

208
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: in a short series or even in a longer series.

209
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: In the LCS and in the World Series. I don't know.

210
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: I like the idea of having having a rookie, having

211
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: somebody who hasn't experienced it, maybe they run into something,

212
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the dumb young luck there and

213
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and touching on what you had brought up with what

214
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: I said about the engaged Andy pots is but a

215
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: young boy. He's a kid. He's still a rookie. Sometimes

216
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: you can tell it. It gets boring in right field,

217
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: it gets a little.

218
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: But that's the guy that you want to run into one,

219
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: the guy, the young kid that you think he's.

220
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: He's not out there every single day. That's the thing

221
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: I like about it having him as an option over

222
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor. With their it's just a lot. I mean,

223
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: both of them have a lot of swing and miss

224
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: in their swings, but I think Chris Taylor swinging and

225
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: missing at it like a seven percent higher clip. So

226
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: if you're looking at diving into the little nuances and

227
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: the numbers and what does a player bring to the team, Yeah,

228
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: we know Chris Taylor brings a lot. He has some

229
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: big moments for this organization in postseasons past. But maybe

230
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: there's some point in time where you can kind of

231
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: hand off that mantle to the next generation.

232
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: Craig oster Berg says San Diego series will determine roster spots.

233
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean it could very well be not only roster

234
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: spot and you know the complexion of what this roster

235
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: is going to look like, but it could very well

236
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: be the division. I mean, everyone we've been saying, oh,

237
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: Dodgers are going to win the division. Dodgers are going

238
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: to win the division. We're gonna but I don't know,

239
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: you know, and I also don't know if that's what

240
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: you want, you don't. Can we talk about seeding for

241
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: a second. I know we were probably supposed to do

242
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: this later in the show. I never follow a rundown,

243
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: so Mark and Sarah my bad.

244
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: But we're here.

245
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: Do we want do we want the number one seed?

246
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to play a frick team in the

247
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: NL West.

248
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: I love that. Joe Davis even brought this up last

249
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: night and we got a super chat. We're gonna get

250
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: to that in a second. Thank you very much, Richard.

251
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: I cannot see this team play the Padres or the Diamondbacks,

252
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: mainly the Padres in a short series again. I just

253
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: let us get to Can we advance one round? Please?

254
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: For the love of all that is holy, I cannot

255
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: play either of those teams. So settle into that two seed.

256
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't need to see this team have the best

257
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: record in the NL, the best record in baseball. I

258
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: don't give a shit. I want to see them play

259
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the Brewers and do what they do best, which is

260
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: beat the Brewers in the postseason, and then, you know,

261
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: hopefully whittle down a good Padres team with an extended

262
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: seven game series. But don't sleep on those Padres. But

263
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: my god, do not let it be in the division series.

264
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Check out that super chat if we can get it

265
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: up on the screen there, Richard, I'm gonna let you

266
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: handle it a onna your better reader than you, Richard.

267
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: I appreciate that very much. I really hope our guys

268
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: are up to the Padres series. If it means the

269
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: NL West, it's memorial for little brother. We we just

270
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: don't match their intensity. You know, he's got a point.

271
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that we've had to match the intensity

272
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: because we've usually kind of handled business with them, as

273
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: Pedro Martinez says, you know, the Dodgers have been the

274
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: Padres daddy. But the thing is, they're just playing with

275
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: a different bit of intensity this year because they can

276
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: feel it right, like, this is a good Padres team.

277
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: They just got Joe Musgrove back. They have you Darvish back,

278
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: Jackson Merrill's probably the National League rookie of the year. Obviously,

279
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: Tatis's back, He's not one hundred percent healthy. He's still

280
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: limping a little bit with that hip issue. I think

281
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: he has a fracture in his hip still, but they

282
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: said you could play through it.

283
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: You know.

284
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: Obviously what Machado's doing. He is the franchise leader in

285
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: home runs. You have you know, Croneworth, You've got some

286
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: You've got some guys and they have a Yeah, they

287
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: have a great bullpen. They have a grinder manager and

288
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: Mike Shilt that probably is still pissed off that the

289
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Cardinals let him go for no flipping reason.

290
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: You know, Soller trying to He's he's fighting for a job.

291
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: He's trying to keep his job, you know what.

292
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: And brother is really good. I've had a lot of

293
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 2: conversations with Deando Alonso, who I work with not only

294
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: on MiB Network but also on True TV, and we

295
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: were actually talking about this on our Whip Around show.

296
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: On Tuesday Night that Aj Preller can you know, put

297
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: together a farm system very very quickly, and they were

298
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: trying to do some things as fast as possible while

299
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: Peter Sidler, their owner, was still alive. You know, they're

300
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: trying to win for him when he still had opportunities

301
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: to do so. So you know, there's a lot of

302
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: stuff that goes on behind the scenes that were not

303
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: privy to as far as the way that that franchise

304
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: has run things, but they are. Let's not forget Dylan

305
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: Ceese with the no hitter this year. I mean, you know,

306
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: this is this is a good team.

307
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: You know.

308
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: I think the Dodgers over the history of it have

309
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: you know, they've they've won the series and it hasn't

310
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: been a rivalry more for San Diego than it is

311
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: for LA. I don't want to play them in the

312
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: first round. I don't want to play the Mets right now.

313
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to play the Potters right now, and

314
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: I would not want to play the Tigers right now.

315
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: I know we're not playing the Tigers in the first round.

316
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: Calm down, chat, but my my point is, those are

317
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: the three teams that are really really scary.

318
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, plus it's honestly, it would be better for baseball

319
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: to get the two you know, we'll call it a

320
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: budding rivalry, to get those two teams playing in a

321
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: seven game series rather than a five game series. Let

322
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: it eat, let it breathe. That's what made that that

323
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: showdown with the Braves in twenty twenty. That's what made

324
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: it so much more fun. I think ensure it's a

325
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: lot more fun because the Dodgers came out on the

326
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: positive side in you know, coming back from three games down,

327
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: three games to one. But it had that breath, that

328
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: had the time to get to a seven game series,

329
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: and that's that makes baseball a lot more enjoyable.

330
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. All right, much more to talk about

331
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: as Dodgers territory rolls on before we get to behind

332
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: the Seams. Let's hear from our friends on foul territory.

333
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: AJ Prusinski, Scott Braun, Eric Kratz on navage.

334
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: Snoring sucks. So does congestion from sinuses, allergies or a cold.

335
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: And you might not even realize how much it's affecting you.

336
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: Fam You need to try navage nasal care. It's been

337
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: a game changer for me.

338
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kratz navaj uses that smooth saline flow and nasal

339
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: suction to clear those nasal passages.

340
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: Now I'm breathing easy, easier, which is a pretty big

341
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: deal in my life. My Navage unit is clearing my

342
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: congestion fast, day and night. I use it twice per

343
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: day as part of a daily routine.

344
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,320

355
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: you're on board. Behind the scenes time and I don't

356
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: think there is a rocket ship big enough for the

357
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: amount of people that you need seats for to send

358
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: to the moon. Where does Bobby Miller rank on your

359
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: seating chart.

360
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, I realize now I might have a problem.

361
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: I might have a problem. So I appreciate producer Sarah

362
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: pointing out, you know, she might need to start making

363
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: a graphic about all the people I have sent to

364
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: the moon this season. I feel pretty justified in a

365
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: number of them. But Robert Miller, absolutely, maybe maybe he

366
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: needs to go beyond the Moon. We need to be

367
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: looking at Mars. We need to be looking at Pluno,

368
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: if that's a planet again, because big game Bob just

369
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: did not have it this year. Dave Roberts, you know,

370
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: after Miller's last game, you know, when Dave has a

371
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: lot more he wants to say that, he's not going

372
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: to say pretty much talking about how it looks like

373
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: it's a lot between the ears for Bobby Miller because

374
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: the stuff is there, the velos, there doesn't seem to

375
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: be anything injury related, just seem to be between the ears.

376
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a mental side of something I

377
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: had somebody ask me on my show. Uh is he

378
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: still broken from that that that loss in the NLDS

379
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: to the Diamondbacks last year? Whatever it may be, just

380
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: put the baseball down even if they need him this year.

381
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him like it's it's better

382
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: for him to not touch a baseball again until January

383
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: or something like that. Just just watch watch the postseason

384
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: as a fan, cheer on your boys, but get the

385
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: hell out of here when it comes to trying to help,

386
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: because he has only hurt the team, and really he's

387
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: hurt himself this year. Hopefully this is just one of

388
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: those really, really terrible sophomore slumps. But at eight five

389
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: to two e r A. At one point, I was wondering,

390
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: do you even try to transition him to like a

391
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: bullpen roll? Maybe he can help in a one or

392
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: two inning role. I don't even want to see that.

393
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: What what do you think you would you be open

394
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: to seeing Bobby Miller, with this short amount of time

395
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: left in the season, potentially change roles and be a weapon.

396
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: No, because I think I think that there's just too

397
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: much of a strong learning curve to go from being

398
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: a starter to go to being in the bullpen when

399
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: you're only in your year and a half of big

400
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: league service time. I mean, I just don't think he's

401
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: ready for that. I'm with you, I think he should

402
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: just kind of mentally reset and try to figure things

403
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 2: out in the off season. Only two of his thirteen

404
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: starts this year where quality starts. You mentioned the earned

405
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: run average eight and a half. It just doesn't look good.

406
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: He was optioned to Triple A. Okay, so you don't

407
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: want to see him, but we could see the cat man.

408
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 2: Do you want to see Tony Gonsolin? And if so,

409
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 2: what role he's not got? Right?

410
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Smart, get me Anthony here in a heartbeat. Absolutely, I

411
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: love that dude. I love that kid. And it's not

412
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: just because he's been nice to me in the past,

413
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: but he's also a really, really good major league pitcher

414
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. By all accounts, he is healthy. He's

415
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: about twelve months removed from that Tommy John surgery. I

416
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: believe he also got the internal brace procedure. You know,

417
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: he's got that in there, so the elbow doctor talk

418
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: is much more gooder, it's much stronger. So if he

419
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: can be somebody who can help give this team, uh three,

420
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, two, three, four innings in a relief role,

421
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: in a long relief role, as an opener, whatever it

422
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: may be. I think that's just it's a symptom of

423
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: where this team is at it shouldn't even for me.

424
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: It screams desperation. I think it's it's an absolute it's

425
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: an absolute sign of Holy shit, who's healthy? Who can throw?

426
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: Can we piece this thing together with a band aid

427
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: as much as possible to to get past the first

428
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: round of the postseason kersh us throwing eighty four pitch

429
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: bullpen sessions? That's the how many pitches do you need?

430
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: Eighty four pitch bullpen session? The man will not be deterred,

431
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: says all them Gonzales with ESPN. I yeah, obviously his arms, Okay,

432
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: it's that It's that damn toe that's that's holding him back.

433
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: Toe. They say there's something else in that foot. Because

434
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: of course they're never going to be completely open and

435
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: honest with these injuries. But again, that's just where this

436
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: team finds it. Talking about bringing back a dude who

437
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: hasn't pitched all year long, something that they kind of

438
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: love to do. They've done it over the last few years,

439
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: whether it be a Trina or a Dustin may or

440
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, Tony Gonsolin in recent years where he's come

441
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: back from injury. But like you said, this is it's

442
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of desperation. It's kind of just a symptom

443
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: of where you're at. You lost glass. Now we now

444
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: know Gavin Stone has done for the season. You don't

445
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: have you know, Kyle Hurt, you don't have an Emitchian,

446
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: you don't have a Dustin May. These are the pieces

447
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: you have left, and you've got to figure out how

448
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: to how to you know, work through it. And this

449
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: includes you know, Walker Buehler has not had a good

450
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: year if you look at any of the numbers, and

451
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: we're trying to I'm trying to fish for something where

452
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: I hope he could piece something together, be that Walker

453
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Buehler of old. But still, if if you take off

454
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: your you know, Dodger blue tinted glasses, this is not

455
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: a very good situation, this organization, this front office, this

456
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: team is in right now.

457
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: Is this team this season better constructed than last year's

458
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: postseason roster?

459
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: Yes, that I feel pretty strongly. Uh. You had you

460
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: had Clayton Kershaw pitching with an actively falling off shoulder

461
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: as your Game one starter.

462
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

463
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: Game two you had you had Bobby Miller deer in

464
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: the headlights. Uh. And then Game three Lance ln who

465
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: just gave up another Homer and I love being a

466
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: dictum because I know he's a friend of ours here

467
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: on the Foul Territory Network. But to know that you

468
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: have Jack Flaherty and yeah, Yoshio, we have a moto

469
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: right now that can go out there and open the

470
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: first two games for you. I feel a lot more

471
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: confident in that. And then you know, when you're talking

472
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: about lineup, it's just you're in a lot better spot

473
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: to be able to score some runs. You got Otani

474
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: in there and all that. Maybe Otani stop it, stop it.

475
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: I am stop it and not growing Otani this year.

476
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't care what because if you're if you're talking

477
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: about that much freaking panic and you're gonna you're gonna

478
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: risk Otani for two thousand and No, I'm not doing it.

479
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely not doing it. Let's throw that. Let's throw

480
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: that graphic back up there. Here's your postseason rotation options,

481
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: and Otani is not on it. Jack Flaerty, Yoshio Yamamoto, Walker, Bueller.

482
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm okay with those three. Uh, maybe not necessarily in

483
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: that order, but whatever, Land and Knack and then Kersh

484
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: if he's healthy, I mean, Kershaw will go out there

485
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 2: with a with his left arm amputated if he has to.

486
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's just how competitive that he is, how effective.

487
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: You don't need him to go, you know, ten innings obviously,

488
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: but you need him to be able to to post,

489
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: to kind of save the bullpen and be able to

490
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: put them in the rules that they're going to have

491
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: the most success in. Again, a lot of this, to

492
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: me depends on the opposition. I don't want to play

493
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: NL West teams. I don't want to play the Mets,

494
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: and I don't want to play the Phillies, So I

495
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: guess I want to play the Brewers, and no disrespect

496
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: to the Brewers, but for whatever reason, in the postseason,

497
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have had their number and they can't get

498
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: past the first round. So it's going to be the

499
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: battle of the teams that can't get past the first

500
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: round and in the UH, you know that first round

501
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: of the post which would be nice.

502
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I think one thing I'll leave us on

503
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: here is that everybody just needs to keep an open mind.

504
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: This includes us as fans, this includes UH the organization.

505
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: Keep an open mind about where these guys slot in.

506
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: Think non traditional, if it is an opener, if it's

507
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: Brazier starting a game. If it's Joe Kelly starting a

508
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: game and Clayton Kershaw coming in after him for three

509
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: or four innings, you know, Kersh, he doesn't need to

510
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: start a game. Clayton, you do not need to start

511
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: a baseball game for this team if you're not healthy.

512
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: He's done that so much for this team, and we

513
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: appreciate it, but we don't need that again because it

514
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: tends to kind of work against the organization, works against

515
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: the club, and then they put themselves in tough spots.

516
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, that sounds really good starting an opener, and

517
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: Brazier's starting a game sounds great against a wheeler Nola

518
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: and Suarez, I like what you're thinking. All right, now,

519
00:24:54,200 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: let's get to last licks. All right, guys, we are

520
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: down to three puppies of boogies litter. This is Pria.

521
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: She's a baby Girril Pria. She's four months old, completely vaccinated,

522
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: she's microchip. She's learning all the good things. She's learning

523
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: how to walk on a leash. She sleeps in her

524
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: create at night. She's a good girl. She's great with

525
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: other dogs. She's good with cats, good with kids, good

526
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: with chickens. Yes, we have tested these dogs with chickens

527
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: and lamas and all kinds of farm animals. So if

528
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: you have a farm, if you have space, have it

529
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 2: in your heart. Please reach out to Gidri's guardian dot org.

530
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: Hit me up on social to learn more about pria

531
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: four month old, perfect, perfect little girl. All Right, Dodger

532
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 2: Baseball thought for the road. Not many teams are gonna

533
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 2: hit the hundred win mark, and the Dodgers may not

534
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 2: do it. This would be their twelfth consecutive postseason birth today.

535
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: Would have to win out to reach one hundred wins.

536
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: So do we care Clint that their streak of four

537
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: consecutive full seasons with one hundred plus wins is likely over.

538
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: They have to win out all the way to get

539
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: over one hundred wins.

540
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't care. A hundred wins is fun. One hundred

541
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: wins is nice. If they're gonna go out there and

542
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, win one hundred and twenty games, that's something

543
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: that's fun. But going I've seen one hundred and seven wins,

544
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: I've seen one hundred and sixteen, one hundred and four.

545
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't mean a World Series, sixty games,

546
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: a sixty game season and going forty two and whatever

547
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: it was forty two and twelve. That means a World Series.

548
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I brought up a sixty game season.

549
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: We tend to get on get in trouble when we

550
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: bring that up here on the internet. But the most

551
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: important words you said there, they can clinch another postseason birth,

552
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: and that's the most important thing. They can do that today.

553
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: They should do that today first time. It's insane to

554
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: know that it's the first time in his life that

555
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Shoeotani will be playing in the postseason as a major

556
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: league baseball player. That's gonna be fun to watch. But

557
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: do you care about hundred wins?

558
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: Not if it means getting bounced in the first round?

559
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: Who cares. I'd rather win eighty five wins in the

560
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: regular season and get deep into the postseason. Obviously, winning

561
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: one hundred games in the past hasn't done anything. Again,

562
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: it's who's playing the best baseball at the right time,

563
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: who's healthy, and who's on their game. I mean, yeah,

564
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: it's cool to say this would be the fourth straight

565
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: year with one hundred or more wins. It's great to

566
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 2: say this is our twelfth consecutive postseason birth. That they

567
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 2: should clinch today. But it doesn't matter when you're the

568
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers or the New York Yankees, or the

569
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox or the you know, Cubs. To a

570
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: certain extent, it doesn't matter how many games you win.

571
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: You were built as an organization to go deep into

572
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: the postseason. So congratulations to the Brewers for clinching the division.

573
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Yankees for clinching a postseason berth that

574
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: you know, Dodgers could very well be next to do

575
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: so today. Again, I'm not convinced that the Dodgers win

576
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: the division, and I'm not so certain that that's the

577
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: worst thing in the world if they do or do not.

578
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: You know that Padres series is gigantic.

579
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Padre Series is going to loom large,

580
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: and we know how much the Padres get it up

581
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: immediately against the Dodgers. Luckily it is at home for

582
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. They should be able to line up the

583
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: rotation with the best they have in that series. But still,

584
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 1: Padres are streaking. They're very, very good ball club. They

585
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of good pieces in there, and they

586
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: got the vibes going, and that's a team that really,

587
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: really thrives on vibes, especially against the Dodgers. But you

588
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: know that series is also book ended by three and

589
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: three with the Rockies. So the Dodgers again, they control

590
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: their own destiny right now, three and a half game

591
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: lead in the NL West. You control your own destiny. Boys.

592
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: Just go out there, beat the bad teams, beat the Marlins. Party,

593
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: be drunk on your flight back home. You don't play

594
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: until seven o'clock on Friday night. Have a good time.

595
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, we'll talk more about those padres on Monday.
