1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: We remember the ballparks, we remember the mascots. Those are

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: the things that will sort of carry with us for

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: a very long time as a sportsman, and I just

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: felt that that was a connection that I want to

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: celebrate with baseball art.

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,560

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: s Preston will be joining us. Loves to do a

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff with Major League Baseball and of course

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers. But Clint, before we have preston

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: joining us, let's get to the big ticket. A lot

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: of stuff to cover since we were last on.

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: All right. So since the last time Clint and I

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: joined you, there has been big news that pitcher out

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: of Japan, not named Shoheo Tani, not named Yoshinobu Yamamoto,

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: but by the name of Roki Sasaki is going to

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: be posted by his Japanese team, and of course the Dodgers,

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: understandably so are the front runner in terms of where

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: he will land. You can see the week there from

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: John Hayman. He's headed to Major League Baseball, Dodgers considered

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: the favorites. Again. So I know that you've known about

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki for quite some time, Clint. This is a

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: guy that's obviously incredibly talented. He has a fastball that

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: goes from ninety seven to about one hundred miles an hour.

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Great splitter, great slider. Would you like to see him

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: logistically and legitimately in the Dodgers' rotation?

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: Well, logistically absolutely, because he's gonna cost pennies considering you know,

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: you look at the Yamamoto contract three twenty five. The

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: dude costs a lot of money. This guy is not

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: going to cost a lot of money because he is

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: not of he's not eligible to be an official, you know,

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: like like free agent or however you explained it. Basically,

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 3: he's not old enough. He has not been pitching in

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: Japan for long enough to get all that to get

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: the bag he's under kind of like the way Shoheo

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: Tani came to the States. He's what do you call it,

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: more of a rookie or.

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: He's an international amateur versus a foreign professional.

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: There you go, there you go. Sorry, the coffee hasn't

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: kicked in enough this morning. But still it's an exciting

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: time for Dodgers fans because you look at the state

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: of the rotation. We talked about this a lot during

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: this World Championship season. There were still a lot of

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: issues with the starting rotation heading into next year, missing

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: some pieces. For the entirety of the year, there will

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: be no Gavin Stone. You don't know what Clayton Kershot's

62
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: gonna look like when he eventually does come back right now,

63
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: there are three there's really only three healthy starters, and

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: the healthy is kind of with a big fat asterisk

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: when you're talking about show Hayo Tani re entering the

66
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: starting rotation, Yamamoto whose shoulder fell off at some point

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: last year, and then of course Tyler Glass now who

68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: couldn't finish the season. So if you're able to go

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: out there and get somebody who we can loosely say

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: you're taking a little bit of a flyer on Roki

71
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: just because he's still young. He's not fully polished yet.

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: But when you're talking about the talent per dollar, there's

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: nobody better. And to hear the Dodgers are front runners,

74
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: of course, they already have Sho Haotani in that clubhouse.

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: They have Yoshi Noba Yamamoto in that clubhouse. To hear

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Dodgers are front runners, we know a lot of people

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: around the league are really mad to hear that. A

78
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: lot of baseball fans are mad to hear that. But

79
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: it would be exciting to see him in Dodger blue.

80
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: Where do you think, you know, what do you think

81
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: of Roki? What do you think of the sweepstakes? Who

82
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: do you think is in the mix.

83
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: Well, we had a great conversation on fair Territory with

84
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: Ken Rosenthal with Kyle Glazer, who used to write for

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Baseball America now does a lot of things with MLB

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: dot Com, and he has covered the Japanese pitching market

87
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: and the international market probably better than anybody else. In fact,

88
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: he was the first American journalist reporter that was granted

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: a one on one with Shoheo Tani. So he knows

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: this market and the NPL Real NPB rather very very well.

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: And I had a conversation with him on fair Territory.

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: Make sure you check out the entire episode, guys, because

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: it's unbelievably insightful. And he said, because of the way

94
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: that he's an international amateur and the international spending Pool,

95
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: every single team in baseball, all thirty teams have a

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: shot at this right because even at the maximum of

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: the pool, you can each team is allowed to offer

98
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: twelve million dollars now. Right now, the Dodgers have the

99
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: most in terms of pool money, but depending upon when

100
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: he's actually posted, it could be act up to the

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: full amount for all thirty teams. So we will see

102
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: where he lands. Because he does have the opportunity to

103
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: court all thirty and they in turn have the opportunity

104
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: to court him as well. Now, he does have a

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: very strong relationship with you Darvish of the San Diego Padres,

106
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: who was a mentor to him, so maybe there is

107
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: something to be said there. But he also knows that

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: shohe Otani and Yoshinovo Yamamoto went to LA, so maybe

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: there's something to be said there as well. Now this

110
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 2: is a guy that if Chiba Lote went and waited

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 2: to post him and posted him, let's say after twenty

112
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: twenty six, it could have been a two hundred million

113
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: dollar price tag. Right. You had talked about the three

114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: twenty five for Yamamoto, but in fact they're only probably

115
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: going to get now high sixes or low sevens in

116
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: terms of the return to the team. But what I

117
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: found ironic is that the team is honoring the wish

118
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: of Sasaki to be posted and play in Major League Baseball.

119
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a matter of all teams

120
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: can be a player. Where does he want to pitch?

121
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Does he want to follow Darvish his idol? Does he

122
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: want to be on the same team in the same

123
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: rotation as Otani and Yamamoto, that remains to be seen.

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, though, I would imagine just

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: based on the way that Japanese pitcher go about their

126
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: business and their routine. The Dodgers and Kyle had mentioned

127
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: this as well, we'll probably go to a six man

128
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: rotation to give these guys that extra day of rest.

129
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?

130
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: I love it. It was something I was expecting last season.

131
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: Of course, health and injury issues kind of didn't give

132
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: the Dodgers that opportunity. But General manager Brandon Gomes did

133
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: say that at the GM meeting meetings last week that

134
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: more than likely, most likely the Dodgers will be now

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: in an official six man rotation situation next season, which

136
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 3: is one hundred percent the right call because you're gonna

137
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: have sho Hey Otani, who again did not pitch in

138
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, did not pitch a full season in

139
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, and is coming off of surgery. Yamamoto

140
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: is already part of that every six day situation. The health,

141
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: the inning kind of issues with glass. Now you also

142
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 3: have Tony Gonsolin coming back from injury, maybe at dustin

143
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: May wherever he slots in if it is in the rotation,

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: he's coming back from injury, multiple injuries, a throat thing,

145
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: an elbow thing falling apart, pet's heads falling off, all

146
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: that kind of fun stuff. But it's about time for

147
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: the Dodgers to enter that six man rotation era. And

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: given the fact that Sasaki is used to that, that

149
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: Otani is used to that kind of from the past,

150
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: and of course Yamamoto was doing that for the greater part,

151
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: pitching every sixth day. It's one hundred percent the right call.

152
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: And if there is some talent laying around for the Dodgers,

153
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: with some of these arms coming back like Gonsolin, like May,

154
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: it does open the door for everybody to kind of

155
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: get innings. But gone are the days we see two

156
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: hundred inning pitchers. That's for damn sure.

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. In fact, that's probably one of the knocks on him,

158
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: if there is a knock. The twenty three year old

159
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: Clint has yet to kind of show that durability expected

160
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: of an ace. He has yet to throw one hundred

161
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 2: and thirty innings in a season, tossing just one hundred

162
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: and eleven ninety one in the past two years. All Right,

163
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: A lot of talk of course around Major League Baseball

164
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: of Roki Sasaki, as there should be. But we're going

165
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: to talk about a couple of other things Dodgers that

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: we know are Dodgers before we welcome in Preston coming

167
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: up here. So Mike Lopez, thanks for being a part

168
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: of us. Here, five dollars super chat. The three Headed

169
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: Monster idea for joining forces in the super team was

170
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: already decided by Otani Yamamoto Sasaki while playing together for

171
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: Japan during It may be you know, there is something

172
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: to be said about playing together on that team in

173
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: the WBC. Obviously with Otani getting that final love against

174
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: Mike Tropp what Yamamoto was able to do, and obviously

175
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: a Sasaki, while not fully developed, is unbelievably talented as

176
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: long as he can locate and as long as he

177
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: can stay durable. Okay, this we know for certain. Joel

178
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: Sherman reported first that the Dodgers intend on moving Mooky

179
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: Bets back to the infield. Brandon gom said the assumption

180
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: right now, as Bets, we'll move back to the infield

181
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. We're needed at second or shortstop now.

182
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: Of course, he's kind of be bopped around all over

183
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: the place because he is that talented and can be

184
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: a right field with a you know, heck of an

185
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: arm and heck of a range, but can also be

186
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: a shortstop and a second basement. So they already picked

187
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: up the option on Miguel Rojas. He's coming back to

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: the infield now. So what does that mean to you?

189
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Does that mean Lux is a tradable piece. Does that

190
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: mean that you know Mookie is the shortstop of the

191
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: future until his contract? I mean, what does this mean

192
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: to you?

193
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: Well, I will say, we know Tommy Edmond's coming back,

194
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: we know Miguel Rojas is coming back. You have some

195
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: good backup options at shortstop. I cannot see a world

196
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: where they decide to try Mookie Betts back at shortstop.

197
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: He is somebody who doesn't fail as a professional athlete.

198
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: He kind of I wouldn't say he failed, but he

199
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: was not up to his own standard as a shortstop.

200
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 3: His future is going to be at second base. They

201
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: wanted to do it in twenty twenty four, a little

202
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: bit of a false start obviously with the Gavin Luck situation.

203
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: So Lux needs to learn shortstop again or he's very

204
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: much a trade piece. But I don't see Mookie Bets

205
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: again playing shortstop full time, maybe part time. I know

206
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: some people really want to see this guy here, Juan Soto.

207
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 3: People trying to open the door now to Wan Soda.

208
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: Right field is you know, unoccupied. Maybe Juan Soto come

209
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: into the Dodgers and the report is that you know

210
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: that they are expected to be very aggressive in their

211
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: pursuit of Juan Soto. Yeah, we've we've we've had a

212
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: little bit of conversations on Juan Soto. But first what

213
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: it's your take on the Mookie situation and does it

214
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: kind of maybe open a more clear door to a

215
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: future with Wan Soto and Dodger Blue.

216
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: The one thing that tells me all I need to

217
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: know about Mooki Bets is he's a three time World

218
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: Series champion. The guy doesn't have to agree to move

219
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: back to the infield, and he's willing to do whatever

220
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: it takes to make the team better and help the

221
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: team win. You know, it's probably a good move if

222
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: that's where they want him to be. It's not as

223
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: hard on your body. I don't belie leave to play

224
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: second base as it is to play right field. There's

225
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: a lot less range that you have to cover at

226
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: second base, and Mookie is he's a quintessential athlete. And

227
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 2: like I said the other day, I think he got

228
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: second in a bowling tournament, like two days after he

229
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: won the World Series. Like I'm sure he wasn't even

230
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: practicing bowling, although he probably has a bowling alli in

231
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 2: his house. Actually I know he has a bowling alien

232
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: his house, but you know that's fine with me. But

233
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: it does beg to the question of, Okay, what does

234
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: that mean for lux Does Edmund play in the infield

235
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: or is Edmund a center fielder? Does that mean with

236
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: the opportunity to sign somebody for right field, is that

237
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: going to be Taoscar Hernandez or is that going to

238
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: be Juan Soto? Who you could get three legitimate you know,

239
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: to maybe an Oscar, a Taoscar Hernandez, and to you know,

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: a bullpen piece and a frontline starter. With the money

241
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: that you would spend on one Soto, I'm not surprised

242
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: to hear the Dodgers are in the mix on mon Soto.

243
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 2: Of course, the Dodgers are on the mix of every

244
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: major superstar, right but so are the Yankees, so are

245
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: the Mets. And like I said, for me, I don't

246
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: necessarcessarily need a one Soto. I need a Taioscar Hernandez back.

247
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: I need a really really strong bullpen piece, and I

248
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: could handle another front line started depending upon what happens

249
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: with Sasaki and whether or not you know they they resigned,

250
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: Bueller or what have you. But this is interesting because, yes,

251
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will be aggressive on this, but I think

252
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: you can get so many pieces for what one Soto

253
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: is going to cost you. And I think you know,

254
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: one Soda is an unbelievable offensive player. I know Mark

255
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: Wiener keeps telling me he had the most assists in

256
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: the outfield and right field. I get it. He's player.

257
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: Players are challenging.

258
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: He's not a two way player, and neither is Sasaki

259
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: for that matter. But the point is it's interesting. So

260
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: does this also mean with MOOKI going to second, that

261
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: we get a Willly Adamis in this situation with right

262
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: field opening up, maybe we get Taoscar back, Maybe we

263
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: get a Domis at short.

264
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. So when we're talking one Soto, Yeah, the bottom

265
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: line is if you can add a generational hitter, and

266
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: I call him, you know, I say him, you know

267
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: his batting, you know profile, it's as close as we've

268
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: seen to a Barry Bonds in well since Barry Bonds retired.

269
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: You know, stands the steroids. And Juan Soto is that

270
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: kind of hitter now he's looking at thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years,

271
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: you know, gobs of money and all that. And I understand, yes,

272
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 3: if you if the Dodgers end up with Wan Sodo,

273
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: guess what, I'm gonna be a very happy boy. He's

274
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: you know, generational talent, one of the best hitters in

275
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: the game, if not the best hitter pound for pound.

276
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: But when you do talk about dispersing some of that money,

277
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: filling some other holes ta like you mentioned Taoskar Hernandez.

278
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: I love the idea of Willie Adamis, you know, coming

279
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: in to play some shortstop him and Mookie Betts side

280
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: by side up the middle. That would be a beautiful site.

281
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: They're both boys like they love each other. They clown

282
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: on each other whenever, you know, the Dodgers and the

283
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: Brewers have you played each other, whether in Milwaukee or LA.

284
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: So when you're looking at adding a glove up the

285
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: middle where the Dodgers are pretty you know thin up

286
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: the middle, at shortstop, and he also talking Willia Damas.

287
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: If he's somebody who maybe you know, after Munsi moves

288
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: on or retires or whatever it may be, after his

289
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: contract is up, Williadamas is expressed you know that he's open.

290
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: He's open to moving to third base if you know

291
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: it kind of makes sense at the time. So if

292
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: you're looking at somebody who kind of has more dimensions

293
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: to his game, give me a Willia Damas and some

294
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: other pieces like you mentioned. Give me a you know,

295
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: another reliever. Give me also Taoscar Hernandez back before I

296
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: go on Sodo again. They signed one, Soda, I'm gonna

297
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: be a happy boy, but still.

298
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: Like I just think they're I think there. I would

299
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: rather have three smaller pieces, because you know, you're only

300
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: as good as some of your parts. I'd rather have

301
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: three smaller pieces that are really good. I'll take a Williadamas,

302
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: I'll take a Taoscar Hernandez. I'm sorry, I'll I'll take

303
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: a you know, a back end of the bullpen guy

304
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: or what it's going to cost God bless you to

305
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: probably get a wand Soto. But that's neither. Yes, I mean,

306
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: if they signed one Soto. Am I going to be bummed? No,

307
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying you could probably get three really

308
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: good parts for the sum then just spending it on him.

309
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, for the record, uh, Max Munsey

310
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: is not going to go away because I have sunk

311
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: that ship. And that was the dumbest idea I have

312
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: ever had. So I am I am one to admit

313
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: when I've been wrong. It came out completely wrong what

314
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: I was trying to say, So I apologize Dodger's Nation.

315
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: Please get off my back.

316
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: Listen, listen you you leaned into the dumb ass part

317
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: of as I did.

318
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: I did. I was clean dumb ass on that. So

319
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: I really appreciated you, everybody, and the kids and the

320
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: dogs and the pets and the grandparents and everybody I

321
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: offended with that idiotic take. That's why I'm not a

322
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: front office person.

323
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: I say two last things. I do appreciate you making

324
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: yourself your dork of the week last week unfair. And

325
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: the last thing I'll say on one so too, there

326
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: is not a world where Steve Cohen is going to

327
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: be outbid. Wan Soda is going to be a met.

328
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: One soda is going to be a met.

329
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: But anyways, Ye no, I agree with you, all right.

330
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: S Preston is coming up. We're going to introduce you

331
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,800

Speaker 2: Thanks so much. And I you know you're a graphic

370
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: art artist. You were a self proclaimed coffee drinker. You

371
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: also said that you were the type of guy that

372
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: everybody hated because you did everything well, but you weren't

373
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: good enough Preston to be a professional athlete, but you

374
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: always wanted to be and it transformed itself into your artwork.

375
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: Tell us more.

376
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Hey, so I am a licensed artist with Major League

377
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: and I actually do a bunch of other license brands.

378
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you said, I was a sports fan too,

379
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: and like all of us, and I always wanted in sports.

380
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: I was actually in sports. Find the camera in front

381
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: of the camera, and it never sort of was felt

382
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: like I'm all the way into the game. And I

383
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: somehow in my later life realized that I was going

384
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: to design and do artwork and that sort of became,

385
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: uh it blew up. It became license a lot of

386
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: the baseball and found out about my artwork and announced

387
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: my career to to draw the sites and sounds.

388
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: And you can see Press's work at a gallery there

389
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: in Anaheim. He is in southern California. But of course

390
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk about the Angels. We're going

391
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: to talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles.

392
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: So Preston let's talk about the piece that you just

393
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: came out with. It's the minimalist artwork there in twenty

394
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: twenty four, obviously of the Dodgers World Series trophy with

395
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: the famous palm trees. Tell us a bit more about

396
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: your art and this minimalist style.

397
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: So the idea of minimalism isn't about just super simple

398
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: or super nothing. The idea of minimalist is less. It's

399
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: more so. The idea is that if I show as

400
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: little as possible, and that's what art is. Art is

401
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: an emotional connection of things that as a as a

402
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm a season takeholder for the Dodgers, so I'm around

403
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: the Dodgers all the time, and the Dodger fans come

404
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: out all the and to sort of do something that's

405
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: very iconic and simple but some you know, screen celebrate

406
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: us Dodger fans winning this major trophy was sort of

407
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: the idea piece. I've been doing minimal stadium art since

408
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen for the league and age year is always

409
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: a different celebrate that that that city's championship and what

410
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: connects to that to you as a as a fan.

411
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: So as we're looking here is the original artwork that

412
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: I was the Minimal Stadium series. Many of you may

413
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: have seen them. This is a minimalt Dodger Stadium just

414
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: very very clean. But if you've been there, you know it,

415
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: you know the stadium.

416
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: So that's an.

417
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: This piece actually both in the owner's bunk Stadium and

418
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: also in the in the broadcast booth. Dodgers've been celebrating

419
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: my artwork for many, many years.

420
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: You know.

421
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: I'll say I also probably had a pretty unlicensed version

422
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 3: of that as my wallpaper on my phone for a

423
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: fair amount of time. It's a beautiful piece. No, yeah, yeah,

424
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: I love that one. So yeah, let's talk about I mean,

425
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: you're you're Canadian by trade or Canadian by birth, but

426
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: Dodgers fan, how how do you know, how did baseball

427
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 3: kind of become your your I guess job in a way,

428
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: how do you how'd you find that connective tissue and

429
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 3: what was sort of the steps to get to where

430
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: you're at today working alongside you know, baseball, there's other

431
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: you know, we know you also work with, like uh, cartoons, bugs,

432
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: bunnies in there, Elmo and all that. What's kind of

433
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: the step to get from baseball fandom to where you're

434
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 3: at now?

435
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: Well, we were got hockey fan actually because I'm Canadian,

436
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: so I was a big, big hockey fan growing up

437
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: in Vancouver, Canada. And it was about ninety ninety three

438
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: is when the Blue Jays won and I slowly started

439
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: like flipping the channel and there's a hockey game, baseball game.

440
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: I started flipping over the baseball game more often and

441
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: started to really really embrace the game itself. And so

442
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a baseball hockey fan. I think that the

443
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: art world kind of blew up when I had this

444
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: idea of doing the minimalist ballparks. And I thought, you know,

445
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: as as a fan, it's interesting to you guys talking

446
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: about the players, and I love talking about the players,

447
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: but as an artist, I'm more I gravitate to the

448
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: the sights and sounds of baseball, the culture of baseball,

449
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: how how baseball makes us feel and as and so

450
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: that's how the the art world sort of meshed with

451
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: baseball for me. We we remember the ballparks, we remember

452
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: the mascots. Uh, those are the things that will sort

453
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: of carry with us for a very long time as

454
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: a sportsman. And and I just felt that that was

455
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: the connection, that that that I want to celebrate with

456
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: with baseball art.

457
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: Clint had mentioned Elmo, Marvin the Martian, Bugs Bunny. How

458
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: did you get kind of into those childhood characters that

459
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: we all kind of grew up and loved and in

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 2: many different ways, whether it was you know, watching Bugs

461
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: Bunny cartoons, or you know, watching the Marvin Martian cartoon,

462
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: or just obviously everybody everybody loves Elbow. Tell us more

463
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: about that.

464
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: Oh so, yeah, it's it's it's it drives my business

465
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: partner crazy because I have this very minimalist, very organized

466
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: art form, and then I have this crazy cartoon side

467
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: of me. That's that's all hand illustrated. Uh So, once again,

468
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: we were connecting to us as a sports fan. My

469
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: memories of a sports fan is us in the morning

470
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: as a kid, going to the game, talking to dad

471
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: about about sports or or going watching on TV. That's

472
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: and and it's very similar to to being to cartoons

473
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. So to be able to I started

474
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: melding them together. I was drawing Disney princesses actually originally

475
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: in different and that started translated into getting noticed by

476
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: some of these cartoon brands, including Looney Tunes and Sesame

477
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Street and that's sort of the connection that I'm trying

478
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: to create is what is what is our childhood? And

479
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: how how how do we as sports fans become connected

480
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: as we're kids. But also there's a lot of dads

481
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of parents out there. And I

482
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: always feel that both of those, both of those designs,

483
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: the minimist artwork, the stadium art, and the cartoon art

484
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: are more than the man cave I call the living

485
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: room art or kids room art. They all they should

486
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: belong to other rooms of the house. And uh, there's

487
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: a lot of great sports artists out there that do that.

488
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: Do sorry athletes, but my pieces are kind of different.

489
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: They belong in the kids room. They should connect to

490
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: the kids, or connect to you as a parent, or

491
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: connect to you in your office.

492
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: Well, nothing connects to kids more than Looney Tunes and

493
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: obviously Disney and of course baseball. And I remember when

494
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: I purchased some great Christmas cards, some holiday cards from

495
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: you of the snowmen going up to grab the ball,

496
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: you know, kind of like that snow cone grab over

497
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: the fence for holiday cards. So that's that's a lot

498
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: of fun too. Your your artwork is so much it's

499
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: just it just brings joy. It is it is fun art.

500
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: Do you have a piece preston that is your most

501
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 2: memorable piece or something that sticks out to you is

502
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: either one that you're most proud of or maybe one

503
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: that you know kind of gave you the most most

504
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: grief in creating it.

505
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, So when I originally decided to do all thirty

506
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: minimist ballparks, some of them are very straightforward. If you

507
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: ever see the collection, there's you know, the Freezing Yankee Stadium,

508
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: there's the main sign in in Kansas City, the sort

509
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: of the Crown Vision Kansas City. But some of the

510
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: sames are are very difficult, so they all took it

511
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: definitely a challenge of trying to figure out what is

512
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: that minimalist part of the stadium that resonates to us

513
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: as sports fans. And some of the harder ones with

514
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: like Washington, I was had a real struggle with it.

515
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: And I remember someone saying, Hey, the President's Race, that's

516
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: a real that's a huge parts not actually the stadium,

517
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: but it's actually part of the experience at the ballpark.

518
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: So getting through all thirty ballparks as a collection was

519
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: was difficult, but that was actually something I'm very very

520
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: proud of. I mean that all thirty pieces are in

521
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, They're hung around all the stadiums,

522
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: a lot of stadents around the country. So it is

523
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of my my hero artwork that if I die,

524
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: that's what that's the piece that I want, those thirty

525
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: ballparks is what I want everyone to remember with that aid.

526
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: No, no, I get it, I get it. It's it's

527
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: the legacy that you are leaving behind. As I mentioned,

528
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: Preston has a beautiful art gallery in the Anaheim area.

529
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: How else can fans kind of check out your work

530
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,600

543
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: to Bernadette. I know we've talked about Bernadette before, but

544
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: I will not stop until Bernie has a home there.

545
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: She is in the Denver Broncos shirt until the stupid

546
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: thirty five yard chip shot with blocked by the Kansas

547
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: City Chiefs to give him a nine to zero record.

548
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: But I am not bitter at all. That is fine.

549
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: The Denver Broncos lose, but Bernadette Clint is a winner,

550
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: all right. So Bernadette is almost six months old. In fact,

Speaker 2: she'll be six months old in three days. She's fully vaccinated.

552
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 2: She's gonna get spade on November nineteenth. Right now, she

553
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: is being fostered at a great home in Scottsdale, Arizona,

554
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: but she needs a forever home. She is ready to

Speaker 2: So please reach out to Jibris Guardian dot org Er

559
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: myself on social to learn more information about Bernadette Okay,

560
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: thought for the road, Clint, Congratulations to Clayton McCullough, who

561
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: has just been officially named the manager of the Miami Marlins.

562
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: Congratulations to him. Another first base coach has been taken

563
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: away from us. But isn't that what you want though?

564
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: And that's kind of my thought for the roads. Don't

565
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 2: you want a coaching staff underneath an unbelievable manager that

566
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: you want to get picked off because it means that

567
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: they're really good?

568
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Clayton McCollough. You know, first base coach

569
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: isn't really one of those sexy, glamorous jobs. Usually you

570
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: hear a lot more about the third base coach, especially

571
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: when they do something wrong or they send somebody. You know,

572
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: they pull a little Giancarlos Stanton move in the playoffs

573
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: there in the World Series. But yeah, it just shows

574
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: again how good the Dodgers are at identifying talent. This

575
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: is a dude who joined the organization about ten years ago.

576
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: Was the i think the farms the director for a

577
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: chunk of time before joining the team after they lost

578
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: first base coach George Lombard, who was also in the

579
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: mix that for that Miami Marlins job. But it's more

580
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: than just a first base coach. You're losing here, because

581
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: he was the outfield coach for the club. He was

582
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 3: also a big time proponent in the base running side

583
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: of things for this team. Some people have kind of

584
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: attributed a lot of Shoheyo Tani's success, Otani's success stealing

585
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: bases this year to what Clayton McCullough passed down to

586
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: the organization or passed down to you know, the players

587
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: there on the field. So it will be a big loss,

588
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: you know. Congrats, like you said, congrats to him finally

589
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: getting his job. He's been a minor league manager in

590
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: his life. Now he finally gets to do it at

591
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: the show level. So well, well deserved for Clayton McCullough.

592
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I quick text exchange with him. He said, thanks

593
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: very much. We are really excited to appreciate your reaching

594
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: out and I will need those recommendations and the recommendations

595
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: he's talking about his Cuban food restaurants, because I am

596
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: Cuban and when I think Miami, I think of Cuban food.

597
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: So congratulations to the entire McCullough family. All right, what

598
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,480

609
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,960
