1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: You could pretty much call show he atana your National

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: League MVP, and you wouldn't be thinking too far far

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: outside the bun with that one. He's very, very good

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: at hitting the baseball.

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: Welcome to Dodgers Territory Live on this Thursday afternoon.

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: That is Clint to see us.

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: I am Alana Rizzo, your host for the next thirty

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: minutes talking all things Dodgers. We are happy that you're here.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Load up the questions in the chat. Clint will follow along,

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: get you on the show. If it's good, if it's entertaining,

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: if it makes sense, if it's a bunch of gibberish,

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: we're moving on. Clint, make sure everybody rates us five stars. Subscribe,

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: tell your friends, tell your family, tell your grandmother. Let's

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: get into it, my friend, we got a lot to

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: talk about. Let's get to the big ticket.

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: So earlier today we were having a discussion with Jeremy Meyer,

18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: our producer, about how about we're going to talk about

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: the glass half full, We're not going to talk about injuries.

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: But then two seconds ago we find out that Jason

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: Hayward is going to be by the Los Angeles Dodgers

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: with the impending return of Chris Taylor. I wasn't sure

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: how this was going to go down. Wasn't sure if

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: it was going to be kure Meyer, wasn't sure if

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: it was going to be Hayward. The Dodgers have, apparently,

26
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: even though they haven't made it official yet, elected to

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 2: go with kere Meyer, the left handed bat off the bench.

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, It seemed like it was leading that way.

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: Hayward has had a very up.

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: And down season, a lot of stop and start to

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: his season as well. His best role has been as

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: a pinch hitter, where he's been. I think he's four

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: for eight in that role, hit a triple, a couple

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: homers or whatever. But that's not enough to save his

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: spot on this roster. It's not enough that he's Freddie's

36
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: best friend to save his spot on this roster. It's

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: it's a surprising move, but it's not shocking.

38
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: You knew there was a roster crunch.

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: You know this team is beholding to Chris Taylor next

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: season as well as he's under contract, he's coming back.

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: He's made some swing changes, so we saw that this

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: sort of coming. But again, it doesn't take away the

43
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: shock of the fact that, hey, Jason Hayward isn't a Dodger.

44
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he can't pass through waivers and hang around

45
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Maybe he is still around,

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: maybe he's still part of the team, you know, and

47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: the taxi squad in the postseason. But still somewhat shocking

48
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: and you know, taking advantage of the off day, these

49
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Dodgers staying relevant.

50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy that? Yeah, we'll get into that in

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: a second. At least you're not Scott Service. Isn't it

52
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: weird though that his last abbat as the Dodger was

53
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: a home run? I mean, this is again, this is

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: again an illustration Clint that you know, what have you

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: done for me lately? Apparently it doesn't matter because you

56
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: still get kicked right in the teeth. And it reminds

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: me of that great movie, which by the way, it's

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: in my top three of Friday.

59
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: How the fuck are you going to get fired on

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: your day off?

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: Hey, all, get fired on your day off? I don't know.

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: That's trying to do.

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: Trying to build a club house.

64
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: How the hell are you going to get fired on

65
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: your day That's that's what this reminds me of. The

66
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: team's off today and he I hate this for Jason

67
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Hayward because he's.

68
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: Such a good dude.

69
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: He's had a great career. I hate it, but again,

70
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: it's a business, and you love kre Myyer's.

71
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Defense got people in the chat going off here, what

72
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I just solve? David ms ROSSI saying why not I

73
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: L Rojas with the sore hamstring?

74
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: There was some.

75
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: Speculation that maybe the Dodgers can get a little creative

76
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: with the injured list. Maybe you know, Hayward comes down

77
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: with a sprained you know, toenail or whatever it may be,

78
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: they can I L Rojas with the hamstring thing right now.

79
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: But I guess they just, you know, decided to pull.

80
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: The band aid now knowing there's a strong likelihood Heyward

81
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: wasn't going to get very much action in October, and

82
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Kiermeyer can play center field, something that Hayward hasn't

83
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: done a whole lot of in his career.

84
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: And to his credit to.

85
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Kiermyer has been really good since joining the Dodger

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: is not great, but considering where he was in his

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: time with Toronto, he's done a lot better. But uh,

88
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, again, going all in, uh still have Keiy

89
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: k Hernandez around. You still are getting Chris Taylor back.

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: So they're going with their guys. They're doing what they

91
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: do best and sticking with Dave's guys. I don't know

92
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: that I really really like it, but I understand it.

93
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: I understand it and the corresponding move. It's official, Chris

94
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Taylor was actually activated. So that's what we figured. We

95
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: thought that, you know, there was going to be a DFA.

96
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure if it was going to be Kuremeyer

97
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: or Hayward.

98
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: Again.

99
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: It's Hayward again. And we don't know if they had

100
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: a conversation. Maybe Andrew did say, hey, you want to

101
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: go on the you know, phantom e L do you

102
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: want to you know, do you want to stick around?

103
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Like we don't know what was going on behind closed doors.

104
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: Maybe Jason said, you know what, No, this is this

105
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: is the move I want. I'm gonna I'm gonna take

106
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: it to the house. And again he could clear Waivers

107
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: who knows no or take thanks for being with us

108
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: my friend in the super chat officially activated according to

109
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, Yes, CT three, we know that.

110
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: Thanks for that. Noah, we appreciate you. Yeah, so it

111
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: is what it is. It's a business. It's tough. I

112
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: hate that.

113
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: But Jason Hayward has had a hell of a career

114
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I'm going to miss the leadership

115
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: that he brings, but who knows what's next for him.

116
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: How did you react, my dear to the Randy Arosarena

117
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: benches clearing situation with Jack Flaherty as the Los Angeles

118
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: Dodgers swept the Mariners right out of the building. And

119
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: by the way, Scott Service, according to our own Ken

120
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 2: Rosenthal on fair Territory, is saying that service is expected

121
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: to be let go today.

122
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, I would I would say, I don't know

123
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: if there was a whole bunch of history between Flarity

124
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: and a rose A Raina, it seemed like you're making

125
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: a mountain out of a mole hill there. Uh, I

126
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: mean whatever adds a little bit of fun as a

127
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: little spark. Seeing the smirk there from Flarity, seeing them

128
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: continue to jaw you know, in later at bats or whatever,

129
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. And I guess for Dodgers fans

130
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: it's good to know that that you know, Flarity is ready,

131
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: he's willing, he's happy to step up and then, as

132
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: we said, when the Dodgers acquired him, he could be

133
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: a man and he could joke. I said, I'm biting

134
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: my tongue here saying he could whip it out and

135
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: show who was as bigger.

136
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: But I said, you last like with like when you

137
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: say last week something about stroking it.

138
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what?

139
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: This is what it is to me about this whole

140
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: Randy Arose are. I think the Mariners.

141
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: Are obviously they're just frustrated.

142
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: They are not They have a twelve percent chance right

143
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: now of making the postseason. This is a team that

144
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: has made the postseason once in the last twenty one years,

145
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: I believe, or something crazy like that two decades and

146
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: then they got you know, swept right out of it,

147
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: as did the Dodgers last year. I understand that, but

148
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: they're probably not going to make the postseason this year.

149
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: And here it come the freakin' Astros again with you know,

150
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: a ten game advantage or whatever it is in the

151
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: Al West. And I've never thought for one second that

152
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: Jack Flerty wasn't going to hold his own.

153
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: I knew he was. I knew he could be a beast.

154
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know that Randy Arose are in it.

155
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: I don't know that Jack Flerity is the dude you

156
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: want to mess with.

157
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: No, And you know one of those guys is throwing

158
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: the baseball at or towards the other one, So I

159
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: definitely would not want to uh make the anger the dragon, anger,

160
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: the bear, whatever the hell?

161
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: Uh?

162
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: You know the guy who's throwing the baseball, he can

163
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: do a lot more damage than Randy A. Rosarina can.

164
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, again, mountain out of a molehill. I I

165
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: don't see the point. I like to comment here from

166
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: mister classics and Dodgers did a disservice.

167
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: Uh, thank you everybody. We're supposed to laugh with that one.

168
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: But it wasn't that good.

169
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

170
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: It was a service to survey a.

171
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: Disserve. I get it. Okay, Yeah, take a sick me

172
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: a minute. I apologize for that.

173
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: I am not I am not that I am not

174
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: that hip, I am not that smart.

175
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Dodgers did it. Oh see, it makes more sense though

176
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: when you actually see us.

177
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm a visual learner, Clint, I'm a visual learner, not

178
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: an audio learner. So there you have it, all right.

179
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: So Max Munsey paid dividends as soon as he got back.

180
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: This is what I told you, Like I said, all right,

181
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: so Max Munsey, I was more excited about his return

182
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: than Edmund's appearance as a doctor, just because I didn't

183
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: know what Edmund was going to give you. But Max Munsey,

184
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: home run paying dividends already put set in the lineup

185
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: the way it's to be.

186
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: This was a guy I said it here right there.

187
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Missed this man. You didn't realize. I don't think he

188
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: was planning on coming off the bench and you know,

189
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: going into god mode or coming back off the il

190
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: going into god mode. But it has been a welcome,

191
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: a needed addition to that lineup that has struggled to

192
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: produce at times.

193
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: Just missed him, You missed Max Munsey. You missed what

194
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: he brings to a lineup, both with the power, the

195
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: ability to take a walk.

196
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: The ability to change the opponents, thinking with one through nine,

197
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: because now this is a true one through nine, this

198
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Dodgers lineup right now, they finally got the pieces back.

199
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: You add in Tommy Edmond over who would have been

200
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the guy on opening day, James Autman, and now you

201
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: have again, I would argue the deepest lineup in baseball.

202
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: But it's very easy for me to say that because

203
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: I do a Dodger show. But it's a very very

204
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: good lineup. And to get Max back, you know, he

205
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: very much. You know, did that cork and champagne flying?

206
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's fun to have him back.

207
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to avoid the innuendos here, guys. I'll do

208
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: the tonight on my show. Try and trying to be

209
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: a good boy is the point.

210
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: That's all right. You're allowed to drop any f bomber

211
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: and you endo. Max, by the way, was on Foul

212
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 3: Territory today with Eric Kratz, Scott Broun. By the way,

213
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: happy birthday, Scott Braun. We appreciate you.

214
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, brother, Eric Kratz and Cameron mayban On. So

215
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: don't forget to check out Foul Territory everywhere you get

216
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: your podcasts and on YouTube, just like you get Dodgers

217
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 2: Territory and fair as well.

218
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's good.

219
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Now do you feel like this is finally the lineup

220
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: that we had anticipated and hoped to see? I believe

221
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: I saw one of your tweets like, yeah, this is

222
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: this is a lineup. I can live with. This is

223
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: something that it was more one through nine of an expectation.

224
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody, everybody in this lineup can do some damage.

225
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: There are ways you can get creative. You don't know

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: if if Hayward is the first guy to fall, but

227
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: maybe there are more more moves down the road. Like

228
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: as much as we love Gavin Lux, he's very very

229
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: very much struggled versus left handed pitching.

230
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 4: So is Chris Taylor going to be that guy?

231
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Is Keiky Hernandez gonna be that guy that's getting some

232
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: abs versus lefties at second base? Will they do something

233
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: that I really love but I know they won't do.

234
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Will they move like Mookie bets in from right field

235
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: to play second base versus lefties and you know, get

236
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: creative in the outfield. There's some versatility, there's some optionality,

237
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: there's some things that can move around.

238
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: But this is us.

239
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: It's a lineup with a lot of good problems to

240
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: have where you you're able to dfa somebody.

241
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: Of you know, the ilk, the the.

242
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: Talent and all this stuff that comes along with Jason

243
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: Hayward and still have a bunch of very very good guys.

244
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: Even though chat not very happy about Chris Taylor home

245
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: C T one six one right now was hitting better

246
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: before he hit the IL, and he has made some

247
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: more swing changes at at the on his minor league

248
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: rehab assignment.

249
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 4: So you're hoping for the best there.

250
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: But it's a very very good lineup one through nine,

251
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: and even you could argue one through thirteen when you're

252
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: when you're factoring in the bench, all right, you're.

253
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Not the only one wondering if they're going to mix

254
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: and match. Blake Harris had this to say on X,

255
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: I do wonder now if we'll start seeing some of

256
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: this in September with preparation for October. Mooki bets at

257
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: second with Andy pot Has and right against left handed pitching.

258
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: Pot Has has a one forty five when replacement. What

259
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: is that WRC plus against lefties this season, while Gavin

260
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: Lux has a twelve WRC plus against lefties?

261
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: Would make a lot of sense.

262
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: So again this is just for reference only, a lot

263
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: of puzzle pieces moving around in the mix. Leave Mooki

264
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: and right please, for God's sake, I don't even look

265
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: he to comeing in and certain innings and going back

266
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: out like enough enough enough quick, trying to get quit

267
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: trying to be so flipping qt enough see out all around.

268
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 4: If he can move around, if Keiky Hernandez can move around,

269
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: how could the best athlete on the team also not

270
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 4: bounce around.

271
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying he can't. I'm saying, I just

272
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: I don't like it, like I just I don't like it.

273
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: It's fair well, I mean they hate again.

274
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: They have a month and a few days to kind

275
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: of figure this whole thing out, you know, bringing in

276
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: the pie has thing again that that throws a whole

277
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: wrench or throws another wrench into a lot of this

278
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: because you would need to make another DFA. But PA

279
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: has has been exceptional this year versus left handed pitchings,

280
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: as our friend Blake Harris noted, there with the weighted

281
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: runs created plus but he's sitting like three seventy one

282
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: or three sixty versus lefties this year. He's got some pop,

283
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: can play a very very nice right field, much better

284
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: than in center. And if you're gonna have you still

285
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: kerm around, or if Tommy Edmond's gonna be your guy

286
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: in center, you give yourself again that optionality, that creativity

287
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: that this team at times has lived on is thrived

288
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: on the platoon. But for now, I'm I don't think

289
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: they do that. I absolutely do not think they move

290
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: Mooki because they probably already feel bad enough for having

291
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: to move him back out to right field after all

292
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: the pomp and circumstance of second base and then short

293
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: stop and then injury and YadA YadA. Set it and

294
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: forget it with Mookie and right field because he's pretty

295
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: damn good at it.

296
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Weighted runs created plus good lord, people, what will they

297
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 2: think of next?

298
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: How about I didn't want to. I didn't want to.

299
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 4: What so you're not a saber metrics kind of gal, No.

300
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm a sea ball hit you know, seaball hit ball,

301
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 2: Like go with your eye test for God's sake.

302
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: All right, all right, let's get to blue balls.

303
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

304
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: I didn't want to have to talk about this, but

305
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: it seems like we have to. Not for nothing, Freddy

306
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: Frieman playing with a fracture in his finger. But Tyler

307
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: Glas now Clint Pisius is going to.

308
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: Be out longer.

309
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a strong difference of opinion, did glads

310
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: now and the organization? He thinks he can still be pitching,

311
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: but the fact that he's not throwing a baseball. There's

312
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: more to the story that we will probably never hear

313
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: because the Dodgers are very very tight lipped. As you know,

314
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Ms Rizzo. It's it's not what you want to see

315
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: at this point in the season, especially for a team

316
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: that over the last couple of years has dealt with

317
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: the injury bug late in the season, particularly when it

318
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: comes to starting pitching.

319
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 4: So you have him on the il.

320
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: Your guy who, if we're talking to Alana Rizzo, is

321
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: the ace, the game one starter in the postseason? Yamamoto,

322
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: who's my ace, my Game one starter making his way back.

323
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: So you start to really worry about looking at a rotation.

324
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Who is Jack Flerty And by the way, going back

325
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, Bob Nightingale in the chat four nine

326
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: nine Super Chat, Thank you very much, Bob. Not the

327
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: real body, Big Dick Mountain energy. So we're going back

328
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: to Flarity. You got Flarity all of a sudden, he's

329
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: your Game one starter and behind him Clayton Kershaw and

330
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Gavin Stone. It's a very very different looking postseason rotation,

331
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: at least that top three.

332
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: So you need.

333
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: Glass now to be back, You need him to be healthy.

334
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: You need this tendonitis, saying to figure itself out or

335
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But I'm not I'm not terribly worried

336
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: about them airing on the side of caution, just because

337
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: they've been burned so many times in the past, and

338
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: I think that's where the organization is at. And maybe

339
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Glass now, I think Dave Roberts said, like Glass now

340
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: needs to listen to his body a little bit more

341
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: because he did pitch with the torn ucl for like

342
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: two seasons and have some issues with that. So do

343
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: you have concerns about Glass now, about Yamamoto, about this

344
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: starting rotation and where things lie.

345
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: Not If he's really not that hurt, you know what

346
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, if they're just giving him the time

347
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: to catch his breath and watch the innings, then I'm

348
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: fine with it. I mean, I rather now on August

349
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: twenty second than September twenty second. I mean, you know,

350
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts told Jack Harris, we're sort of going through

351
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: it right now. I guess if the ship is righted,

352
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: then I'd rather be in it right now and get

353
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: the guys that we know have been good to pitch

354
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: well but not ideal is probably fair. I mean again,

355
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty few game season. There's a part

356
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: of the season, and I always say it's the middle months.

357
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: It's the June, July, August where you just have to maintain, right,

358
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: you just have to play five hundred ball, okay.

359
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: And it's in September and October and.

360
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Then obviously April and May where you really need to

361
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: ramp up to set your distance in the division, and

362
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: then in September and you know obviously October September, like

363
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: really increase that division lead.

364
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: So I'm not I'm not that concerned yet.

365
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: But Yesh Flarerty or excuse me, glads, now, Yama Moto

366
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: Flaherty is very different than Flarity kershaw Stone, no.

367
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: Doubt about it.

368
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: Goat YACHTI he's got to listen to doctors, especially with

369
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: his history. Yeah, I mean, maybe they're just you know,

370
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: making sure that he's not he's not pushing it. I'd

371
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: rather have him in September and October than August, you

372
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

373
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm not too concerned yet.

374
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: There is a good Yama Moto update, according to Bill

375
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: Plunkett of the o C.

376
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Register.

377
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: We always appreciate plunk you know, he said that, uh,

378
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: let me say, if we can bring it up here,

379
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: if I can just bring it up on my well.

380
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: We know through a two inning simulated game this week,

381
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: looking good, and the plan is is there's him throwing

382
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: baseballs again at Dodger Stadium.

383
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 4: All is right in the world.

384
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: But it could be a situation where we have one

385
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: or two more sims and then Dave said, maybe just

386
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: one rehab outing before we see him back in LA

387
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of you know, build him up at the big

388
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: league level.

389
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?

390
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it, you know, again, build him up.

391
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: You know, we are basing Yamamoto's value off of one

392
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: month that we've seen him play in a massive game

393
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: against the Yankees in New York. I mean, this is

394
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: somebody that's got to come off of this and shove Okay.

395
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: I'm not giving a guy a ten year, three hundred

396
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: and twenty five million dollar contract for one month in

397
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four if that's all he was good for.

398
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: So again, not his fault, you know, I take ten years,

399
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty five million. I never blamed the player,

400
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: you know, fault the game, not the player. So but

401
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: I need to see something from him, Okay, so if

402
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: we're being very cautious with him, and you know he's

403
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: used to pitching every six days or whatever, you've got

404
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: to come off of this lengthy, lengthy ap since in

405
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: lengthy rehab and shoff, we need this guy to be

406
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: the three hundred and twenty five million dollar player that

407
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: he is. So it's funny because we were talking too

408
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: about a billion dollars doesn't buy much anymore. And again

409
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: Sho Hay is not pitching this year, so that's that's

410
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: not necessarily fair. But yeah, I need him to. I

411
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: need him to prove why everybody was hoping that Yamamoto's

412
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 2: signed with them.

413
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Philip in the chat says, honestly, how can we not

414
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: be nervous about the pitching? I think we all are,

415
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: and there's too many unknowns. The unknowns are never ending.

416
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: We're leaving a lot up to once again hope. You're

417
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: hoping that Yamamoto comes back. You're hoping that Glass now

418
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: is ready to go in maybe two weeks from now,

419
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: as opposed.

420
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 4: To coming off the al right when he was eligible.

421
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: It's it's enough to kind of keep you up at

422
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: night because I like going back and well, I hate

423
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: going back to that twenty twenty one team that was

424
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: hoping Kershaw can come back and he gets a start

425
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: in in September and then he walks off the mound

426
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: holding the baseball. We hear about this four arm issue,

427
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: or you know Max Scherzer that year, Walker Buehler.

428
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: Being gassed, Julio being gassed.

429
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: If they're if they're doing this now to make sure

430
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: that they are fully healthy and ramped up. You don't

431
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: need these guys going out and pitching seven, you know,

432
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: shutout innings in in game one of the NLDS or whatever.

433
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: Let them slowly build up, get your best, and then

434
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, bank on a bullpen that if all falls well,

435
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: is going to be very very good. But right now,

436
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: as we're sitting here, it's it's not easy to feel comfortable.

437
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: Uh. And look a month and change ahead, should the.

438
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: Dodgers push for the division and get the extra rest

439
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: I have, I have two I talk out of both

440
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: sides of my mouth in this sense, but I want

441
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: to know what you think.

442
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a club that's always going to go

443
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: out there and try to win that day's ball game.

444
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: They have the lineup, they have the firepower to be

445
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: able to beat most of these team out here right now,

446
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: it's just about keeping runs off the board. I'm in

447
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: twenty one. I'll go there again. How much they fought

448
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: and burned themselves out trying to get that division from

449
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants. That's what burned them out and

450
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: kind of kicked their ass. Also, coming off a sixty

451
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: game season, you're ramping Bueller up to two hundred innings,

452
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: which is still messing with him to this to this day.

453
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 4: Potentially, I still say you go for the division, you're.

454
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Fighting, you're still playing for something meaningful, and you're getting

455
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: the you're keeping that you know, the correct mindset when

456
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: you're approaching October. It shouldn't be about oh, if we

457
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: don't win, it's okay today, boys like no, No, you

458
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: go out there and.

459
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 4: You fucking beat that other team. That's what you're supposed

460
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 4: to be doing.

461
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: That's where these guys get paid, is to beat that

462
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: other team and just keep doing it through the end

463
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: of October. And then there's a celebration and parade and

464
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I'll do the time in the Sorda dance at City Hall.

465
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: I promise you I will do it.

466
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: The thing is, though I am a big big, a

467
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: big believer in momentum, And I get that you want

468
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: a rest, you want to breather, you want to blow

469
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 2: to rest guys, and I get that, especially our pitching staff.

470
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: But if you take too much time off and you

471
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: can't simulate real playoff games and simulated games or BP

472
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: or any of that stuff, I worry. Again, it's whoever's

473
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: healthy and whoever's playing the best baseball at the right time.

474
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: So there's two sides of it.

475
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 2: I get that you want the buy to rest, but

476
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: I also think, like, if you're playing well at the end,

477
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: you just keep going.

478
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: You just keep going. I don't know, it's tough. I

479
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: get it from a health standpoint, you want to win

480
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: the division and get the rest.

481
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 2: From a momentum standpoint, i'd say keep going until they

482
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: tell you you can't play anymore.

483
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it either way. I'm okay with it

484
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: as long as they're just striking, striding at the right time.

485
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: Because we've seen it before them kind of spiraling. Seventeen

486
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: is one of those teams you can look at too

487
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: terrible at the end of August and September, but then

488
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: they found a way to turn.

489
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 4: It back on.

490
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: So I really don't know which way to go with

491
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: it because we've seen sort of all paths of it

492
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: over the last ten years with this organization. We've seen

493
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: them be bad and then have to be good. We've

494
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: seen them be good all the way through and get

495
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: their ass kicked. Andrew Frieman SAI last year. There's not

496
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: like recipe to the postseason. There isn't really guys who

497
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: are postseason players. It's all about what we saw the

498
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks do last year, being good at the right time.

499
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: Then you just win. You just keep winning. You're trying

500
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: to find your way to the World Series, and then

501
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: from there, you know, it's kind of a crap shoot.

502
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just that's exactly what I was about

503
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 3: to say.

504
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: You can do all you want, you can plan as

505
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: much as you want at the end of the day

506
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 2: of the postseasons of fat crap shoot. All right, We're

507
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,200

529
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: Bang Theory Litter. What a sweet baby boy three months old,

530
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: completely healthy, up to date on all of his vaccinations

531
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: that he is old enough for. He still has to

532
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: get his rabies vaccination when he's old enough and he

533
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: still needs to be neutered, but he's microchipped. He's ready

534
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 2: to go forever. Family, Where are you? He is American

535
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: bulldog and German Shepherd mixed, sweet sweet boy. If you're

536
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: interested in adopting or learning more about Sheldon, please reach

537
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: out to Gidrisgardian dot org or certainly hit me up

538
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: on any of the socials. Okay, show hey, Otani. Isn't

539
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: it amazing how we don't talk about him that much?

540
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: And if he keeps going, he'll probably win the American

541
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: League again, or excuse me, the MVP in the National League.

542
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's funny. We were talking even before

543
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: the season started, you and I. You were saying, like,

544
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: is it all we're going to be talking about? Is

545
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: it show Hey, Show Hey, Joe? What about the rest

546
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: of this team? Now here we are late August, show

547
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Hey almost feels sometimes like an afterthought, at least when

548
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about all the different pieces and broken parts

549
00:24:59,280 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: of this team.

550
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 4: But show Hey.

551
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Quietly, also very loudly approaching that forty forty mark would

552
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: be the first Dodger to ever hit the.

553
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 4: Forty forty mark.

554
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: With the stolen bases and the home runs, there he's

555
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: also having a very very interesting August because he's hitting

556
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: kind of like crap, but he's also hitting with a

557
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: lot of pop.

558
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 4: But it's it's it's funny.

559
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: That Dodger show Hamo Tani just how much different he

560
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: is than Angel show Halo TONI. I don't know if

561
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: that's I think I think that's enough right there. You

562
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: don't need to explain it. It's just he was the

563
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: guy and now he's a guy here. I'm imagining he

564
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: very very much appreciates that.

565
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt, no. Dad.

566
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: It reminds me very much when Cody Bellinger got called

567
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 2: up and Corey Seger was so happy when Cody was

568
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: doing so well because in all the pressure, especially interviews

569
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: got taken off of Seg because he hates interviews. Yeah, show,

570
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: Hey's still a man in a group of the men,

571
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it's funny too because

572
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: by the way Rymanagian apparently the Angels said that he's

573
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: coming back next year. They kind of slid that under

574
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: the radar after we reported or Ken Rosenthal was saying

575
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: that Scott's service was probably going to be fired.

576
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: So the Angels were like, we'll go.

577
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: Ahead and send this now, we're going to bring the

578
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: guy back, even though our team sucks. But show Hey,

579
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: think about if he was in the American League still,

580
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 2: I mean, there'd be quite the race between Aaron Judge,

581
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt Junior, and Showhy. But in the National League

582
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 2: Clinton he could very well win another MVP award because

583
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 2: it looks like katel Marte is on the shelf and

584
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 2: he may be out of it for.

585
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: A little bit.

586
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if he gets that forty forty, you know,

587
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: forty forty could happen this weekend. It would be, like

588
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: I said, the fastest I don't think I actually said

589
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: it here, but the fastest forty forty in baseball history.

590
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: Unless I misread something, I think you could pretty much

591
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: call shohe atana your National League MVP and you wouldn't

592
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: be thinking too far far outside the bun with that one.

593
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: He's very very good at hitting the baseball. But I

594
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: wonder what I don't want to get into next year.

595
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: I wonder what that's going to look like. But I

596
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: saw a comment. I want to find the comment.

597
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: I probably should have had it more ready here, but

598
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: I bet my bad.

599
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: Mister classics saying show Hey, trying to statpad too distracted

600
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 1: with his stat padding. So I was gonna ask you,

601
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: do you think at this point, again, he's hidden under

602
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: two hundred this month, but he has eight homers.

603
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 4: I think it is hitting into some bad luck. Do

604
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 4: you think he's chasing production at this point?

605
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 3: No, I don't think he thinks that way.

606
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he goes up to the plate and says, Okay,

607
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: I need to do this. I don't think he thinks

608
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: about his stats. I think he is such a guy

609
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: that is so routine oriented and process oriented that I

610
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: don't ever think that Shohey thinks results.

611
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: I think he thinks and again I've.

612
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 2: Never even had a conversation with the man, but just

613
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: from what I've heard and what I've seen, I really

614
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: do believe that he is all about He's very process oriented.

615
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 2: And even in BP when he does take it out

616
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: on the field, which is not often, but even in

617
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: the cage in Dodger Stadium, the things that he notices

618
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: when things are just you know, an inch a skew,

619
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 2: like something's afoot, something doesn't make sense here. I mean,

620
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: I think he's just so sory rule about the way

621
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: that he goes about his business that I don't think

622
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: he thinks of stats and padding stats or anything like that.

623
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 3: I really don't.

624
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: I think he's just all about the process, and I

625
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 2: mean and never speak for themselves. He doesn't have to

626
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: worry about the results.

627
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: It's funny that I'm saying, is he chasing production? We're

628
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: barely talking about him. He's also I think in RBI

629
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: away he's right on ninety already at this point, we're

630
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: not even in September.

631
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 4: Dude is pretty damn good.

632
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: And he said, I think it was on Monday he

633
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: was talking about with his posture feeling a little bit

634
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: off there as opposed to anything with the swing or

635
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: anything like that. So and Dave was even mentioning maybe

636
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: he's chasing a little bit more. I'm sure he'll piece

637
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: it together. And then for the first time in Major

638
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: League Baseball history, we will see playoff Otani. And I'm very,

639
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: very excited and curious to see that because if it's

640
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: anything like WBC Otani, it's gonna be a lot.

641
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: That's I love the WBC so much.

642
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I can't wait to show hey Otani in the postseason.

643
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: All Right, we're almost done here on Dodgers Territory. What's

644
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: coming up on All Dodgers with Clint Pacias.

645
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: Well, I would be stupid to not talk about what

646
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: the people want to talk about, which is Chris Taylor.

647
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: So we'll be back tonight six pm Pacific time on
