They have completed their first homestand of 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: the season. They lose their first as well. Katie, what 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: was the pulse of the clubhouse after the game last night? 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: They're not playing today flying to DC, but what was 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: the what was the pulse? What was the sense. 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 4: That you were getting of the guys? 22 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: So I was not in the clubhouse yesterday because b 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: writer travel took a red eye to DC and made it. 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: But I can't say the club the vibe in the 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: clubhouse overall is. 26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: What you expect it to be. 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: There's just not a lot of panic right now. And 28 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: I get it, Dodger fans. I'm not trying to downplay 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: your concerns. But six game sample size, we have one 30 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty ish to go. Every team in baseball, 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: in baseball history has slumped. It does not help that 32 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: it's starting in the first week of games, so it's 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: kind of the only sample size that we have. But 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: to sit here and say like Mookie Bets, Kyle Tucker, 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: Shoho Tani, all these guys are not going to hit, it's. 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: Just not true. 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: So I would say everyone's just kind of like ready 38 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: to go. They're ready for an off day today. You know, 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: you have a young, inexperienced national squad on the road 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: and maybe like get right before a big World Series rematch. 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: But I don't really think there's any concern, just a 42 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: kind of a sense of like, Okay, it needs to. 43 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Be better, but no one's really pressing at this point. 44 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Dave said yesterday after the game. You know, 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 5: we said before the game something. You know, they're they're 46 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 5: getting pretty close to finding something. After the game, I 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 5: think we'll get our groove you got, you got, Dave 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 5: and the Dodgers trying to get their groove back. 49 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 6: Unlike not unlike Stella. 50 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 5: But yeah, the offense definitely has been a struggle, bit 51 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 5: of a shock to open this season. 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 6: Katie. 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 5: You mentioned really the top of the offense, the top 54 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 5: of the lineup. I got some some numbers here we'll 55 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 5: throw up on the screen. Top of the order seventeen 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 5: for ninety it's a one to eighty nine average if 57 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 5: I did my math right, which I'm bad at math, 58 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 5: but hitting two thirty seven. As a team, they're pretty 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 5: middle of the pack. The on base feels low for 60 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 5: this team. The slug feels low for this team. It 61 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 5: also feels like they're striking out a whole bunch. They're 62 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: kind of not. But you know, a lot of this 63 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 5: is just this is not the start we were expecting 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 5: after the Kyle Tucker edition, after you know, a healthy, full, 65 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 5: healthy offseason for Mookie and Tao and all that, like 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 5: we talked about, and same with Freddy. 67 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 6: Your thoughts. 68 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: This is the last thing I'll say about this stop 69 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: with the panic button. Everybody out there that's freaking out 70 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: that the Dodgers are foreign. 71 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: To it is okay, you guys, It is okay. 72 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: I was talking to some of the folks that have 73 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: played this great game of ours. The worst thing that 74 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: they can do right now is that cliche that you 75 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: always hear about pressing too much and trying to be 76 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: the hero and stepping up to the plate with nobody 77 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: on base and trying to hit a five run home run. 78 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: That's the last thing that this team needs to do. 79 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: What they need to do is work the counts. They 80 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: need to get on base. They need to play small ball. 81 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: I know that that is very cliche, but work the counts, 82 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: force the opposition to throw a lot of pitches. 83 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: Draw that walk. 84 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: Don't be afraid to draw that walk, guys, don't be 85 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: afraid to be selective in terms of the pitch election. 86 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: Wait for that pitch to hit, Wait for your pitch 87 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: to hit, get a dude on, bunt a guy over, 88 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: draw the walk, and pass the baton. Nobody needs to 89 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: be the hero. And that's the beauty of this team 90 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: is that there are so many heroes and at any 91 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: given moment, up and down the lineup, Andy piz Man, 92 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: He's been the offense right for the Dodgers so far. 93 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: It's like anywhere up and down the lineup, it will click. 94 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 3: And they always say another cliche, winning is contagious. Hitting 95 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 3: is contagious. And I think that they're going to be fine. 96 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: Obviously a day off today, then they will start a series. 97 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: As Katie mentioned against the Nationals before taking on the 98 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: Toronto Blue Jays, all on the road. I'm not worried 99 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 3: about this club in the least bit. You know that 100 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: they're going to get it going. Dave said as much. 101 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 3: They're going to find their groove. Freddie was like, calm down, 102 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: it's the first win, you know, first week of the season. 103 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 4: I'm okay with this. 104 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: Another thing I don't want to hear any more, Clint, 105 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: and I'm going to tee you up on this because 106 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: you so wonderfully put this in our rundown. 107 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 4: Is it too early to have a World series over? 108 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: Stop? 109 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: You know what to do with that. 110 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 4: It's the hair of the dog. You just go right 111 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 4: back and drink again. 112 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 5: My bottle is empty. Yeah, I'll take this first. I'm 113 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 5: interested in Katie's thoughts because this is the first time 114 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 5: beening around being around a winning ball club for a 115 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 5: little while, without due respect to Saint Louis Cardinals, but yeah, 116 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 5: people are obviously gonna you get into panic mode and 117 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 5: you try to find excuses. You try to find what's 118 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 5: the causation for the Dodger offense being non existence right now? 119 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 5: Non existent right now? Well, they just won a World Series? 120 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 5: Is there a hangover? Do they not know how to 121 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 5: deal with this? 122 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 6: Well?

And I think, if anything, these guys, 175 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: because they've just won two in a row, have even less. 176 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: Maybe they're may be less likely to panic because they 177 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: know what it takes to bounce back and slumps are 178 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: gonna happen again. 179 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: Let's take Freddy Freeman for example. 180 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: He had a lot of loud outs, a lot of 181 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: morning track power, a lot of barrels, and not a 182 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: lot to show for it until the ninth inning. 183 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: Last night. 184 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: That's not sustainable for Freddy Freeman, that those are gonna fall, 185 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: those are gonna drop, Mookie Bets is gonna figure it out, 186 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: shoey o Toni's gonna figure it out. To Oscar Harnandez 187 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: gonna figure it out. So I wouldn't say it's a hangover. 188 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: It's just baseball. It just gets compounded because we don't 189 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: have any other sample size to look at. 190 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean, for as bad as the Dodgers' offense. 191 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: Collectively has been, I don't think it's been bat at 192 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: bats or a bad approach. 193 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: I think it's been a lot of situational hitting. 194 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: And I think that's how they've won their their game, 195 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: their two games, or their three games against the d Backs. 196 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: Excuse me, So, no, we don't need to panic. 197 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: I get why, I get why fans are, but again, 198 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: six games two series, there's still four and two. The 199 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: fiction has been really solid. I'm sure we'll get to that. 200 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: Let's all take a collective deep breath, and maybe the 201 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: Washington Nationals can fix this. 202 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, it's so silly that we're even talking 203 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 3: about this. The best the teams with the best record 204 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: in baseball are five and one. They've won one more 205 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 3: game than the Dodgers have. Like, it's enough with this already. 206 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 3: And to Katie's point, I wanted to expand on that 207 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: just a little bit. Blake Harris tweeted this earlier about 208 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: the fact that, yes, it is a very small sample size, 209 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 3: but it is ugly right Otani a one to sixty 210 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: seven average. Tucker one's seventy four down the line, bets 211 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: one thirty six. Freddy to await Will Smith is at 212 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 3: the Mendoza line Monsey two eighty six. 213 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: He looks, you know, he. 214 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: Looks okay, fine whatever, so far on the season at 215 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: two thirty eight average for taoscar Hernandez Andy Pott has 216 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: for twenty nine. 217 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: Let's give him some props too. 218 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: But honestly, you know that those guys are at the 219 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: top and the middle, at the heart of the order 220 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: for a reason. 221 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 4: Guys, it's we're four and two. Like, calm down, little bit. 222 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's silly to think that this 223 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 3: team is not going to produce. And again, you know, 224 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: it's a good timing of the road trip, Clint, is 225 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: it not. 226 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, I really feel like this team, you know, winning 227 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: breeds chemistry and all that kind of stuff. 228 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 6: But this team really gels when they. 229 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 5: Are together on the road. They'll go out, they'll probably 230 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 5: be well, not probably. They will be in DC tonight, 231 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 5: They'll grab dinner, They'll have plenty of drinks. That tequila 232 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 5: will be flowing courtesy of Miguel Rojas, and they'll start 233 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 5: to feel all of that pressure, all of that weight 234 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 5: come off of their shoulders. I mean, this season open 235 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 5: with the opening day banner raising ring ceremony. Kershaw is 236 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 5: still hanging around. They also need to figure out who 237 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 5: they are without Clayton Kershaw. I don't think this is 238 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: a situation where Kersh's or the lack of kursh is causing. 239 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 6: Any of this or leading to any of this. 240 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 5: But there was a lot of pomp and circumstance, and 241 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 5: combined with the expectations, this is a lot of noise. 242 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 6: Now you get on the road and you get to 243 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 6: just be yourself. 244 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 5: You get to be the Los Angeles Dodgers and and 245 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 5: you go and take advantage of the Washington Nationals on 246 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 5: the road, and then you pay a visit to the 247 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 5: Toronto Blue Jays next week, and I'm sure that's gonna 248 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 5: get the It's gonna get the blood pressure going a 249 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 5: little bit again. It's get the heart heart racing, if 250 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: you will. So I'm excited. I think, I think this 251 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 5: is a perfectly timed road trip and I have a 252 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 5: note of it. 253 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 4: It is fine, it is, it is. It's a good 254 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: it's a good time to road trip. 255 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: But also I know we say that we can write 256 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: the ship for the ship that's not even broken with 257 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 3: the Washington Nationals. Let's not overlook them though, like, let's 258 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: not let this be a trap series and then lose 259 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: two of three to the Nationals before we head to Toronto, 260 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: where you know they're circling, especially the Blue Jays fans 261 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: and players are circling that already on the calendar, all right, 262 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 3: much more to come on Dodgers' Territory with myself with 263 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: Katie with Clint. 264 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 4: First award from our friends at Foul. 265 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 7: This episode is brought to you by Fox One.

So there were some acquisitions, if you will. 325 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 6: Guys. 326 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: The Dodgers acquired left handed Jake ed Or from the 327 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 3: Washington Nationals, so I guess he doesn't have to go 328 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 3: that far in exchange for cash considerations. In order to 329 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: make room on the forty man roster, the Dodgers transferred 330 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: right handed Jake Cousins to the sixty day injured list. 331 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 3: So that is one of the moves that the Dodgers made. 332 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: Another move, guys, in Clint, you can talk about this, 333 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: they claimed right hander Grant Holman from the d Backs. 334 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: In order to make room for Holman on the forty man, 335 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 3: the Dodgers transferred right hander Gavin Stone to the sixty 336 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: day injured list. And that, to me, of all the things, 337 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 3: is the headliner for this. 338 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent. 339 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 5: I mean, this is somebody we were just talking about 340 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 5: on Monday as well, a guy even before the show. 341 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 6: We're talking about, you. 342 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 5: Know, somebody like Gavenstone, River Ryan guys are gonna need 343 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 5: as they look to bridge the gap with the starting rotation. 344 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 5: But Gavin Stone, obviously, he had his one start in 345 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 5: spring training looked really good and then the shoulders. 346 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 6: Started barking on him. 347 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 5: I've heard different things, different people feeling that it's worse 348 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 5: than it is, But right now the organization seems to 349 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 5: have a positive look on it. 350 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 8: Katie. 351 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 5: Obviously you got an update about that. We'll get your 352 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 5: thoughts in a second. But alls we know is he's 353 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 5: basically at like the start of spring training. So best 354 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: case scenario, what are we looking at like a month away, Katie, 355 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 5: something like that, Probably a month and a half before 356 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 5: we could start to see Gavin Stone, maybe even head 357 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 5: out on a rehab assignment. 358 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 359 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what's interesting. I agree with you, Alana. 360 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: That's the takeaway here is moving Gavin Stone to the 361 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: sixty because it just gives you a better timetable. I 362 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: haven't seen any notes on if that's retroactive. I will 363 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: follow up on that, but I think that just goes 364 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: to show where he is and they're going to be 365 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: so cautious with him and River Ryan coming back from 366 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: these major surgeries. We talked to Dave Roberts about Gavin 367 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: Stone earlier in the homestand and he said he had 368 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: been throwing, but. 369 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: I believe it was off flat ground. 370 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: Nothing close to a bullpen yet, so kind of hard 371 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: to estimate what that looks like because it's not just 372 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: a regular ramp up. You know, he's already been shut 373 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: down once and that's a shame because his one inning 374 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 2: in spring did look pretty promising. The changeup looks good, 375 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: but again they're going to be cautious. Same with River 376 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: Ryan's usage. He's not throwing in Oklahoma City right now. 377 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: He's logging some games in Arizona, just because he's coming 378 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: back from such a big surgery. So not great news 379 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: for the Dodgers' pitching death. I know we talked a 380 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: lot in spring about how much they have of it, 381 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: but that's the thing. 382 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: You have a pitching depth until you don't. So all 383 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: eyes are Snell, who threw another. 384 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 2: Bullpen at Dodger Stadium, still targeting around mid May, end 385 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: of May for his return, but we might not see 386 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: Gavin Stone for a little bit, all right. 387 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 3: So that led me to this question for you, Katie 388 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: any Well. I guess it's a two part or any 389 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: update on Blake Snell and also moving forward with the 390 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: off day today and then the three game set against 391 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 3: the Nationals in DC. Is that rotation plan she and 392 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 3: Glasnow and Sasak And then have you seen enough of 393 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 3: Sasake to not have a piggyback backup plan coming out 394 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: of the bullpen for maybe a long man like the 395 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: Robleski situation, although the first time that didn't work out 396 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 3: so well. 397 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: Yes, so let's just a quick touch on Blake Snell. 398 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: Not a lot of just again in the bullpen. And 399 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: there still isn't a definitive timetable or time like specific 400 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 2: date they're looking at, but again mid May, end of 401 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: May seems to be the. 402 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: Most likely option. Blake knows his body, he's a pro. 403 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: He's been around in good spirits around the guys the 404 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: last week or so. 405 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: The sooner they get him back, the better. 406 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: But they certainly won't rush him because you need a 407 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: healthy Blake Snell. 408 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: You just you don't need just Blake Snell. 409 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: You need a healthy Blake Snell and an available Blake Snell, 410 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: especially in the second half. 411 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: So we'll see more about that. 412 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: But you make a good point a lot about Roki 413 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: Sasaki and the kind of hybrid six man rotation, and 414 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: we knew this was coming. Dave Roberts had been advertising 415 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: this since before spring training started. Justin Robleski was going 416 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: to take at least one or two spots starts. That's 417 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: going to happen in this next road trip they are 418 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 2: going to go unless something changes before tomorrow morning. She 419 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 2: and glassnew Sasaki against the Nationals will see some version 420 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: of Robleski and then Otani, I believe, is supposed to 421 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 2: take the last start that Blue Jay series that stacks 422 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 2: similar to what they did last year. Stack's Otani up 423 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: to pitch right before scheduled off day. The team is 424 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: off again next Thursday. I do agree that I don't 425 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 2: think we've seen enough from Roki Sasaki to not have 426 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: Robleski in that piggyback zone for him. 427 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: And you risk yourself. 428 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: Being exposed because this is a stretch of six games 429 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: where the Dodgers don't have an off day, and if 430 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: something goes wrong with Sasaki, you don't have Rabuski to 431 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 2: come in. And yeah, I know it didn't necessarily go well. 432 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: I think he was one pitch away from a completely 433 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 2: different line. But this is where I can get a 434 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: little dicey with how the Dodgers are going to really 435 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: prioritize resting and recovering Otani and giving these starts to 436 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: other guys. Sasaki has to step up because they don't 437 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: have a break glass in case of emergency plan with 438 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 2: Robuski if he's going to take that spot start. And 439 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 2: this is where it gets really tough for Mark Pryor 440 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: and Dave Roberts because you can't script outings for these guys. 441 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: Emma she and also didn't look particularly strong. 442 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: Again, we don't I don't like to overreact to one start, 443 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: but if they need length, Justin Rabluski is their guy, 444 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: but they need Justin Rabluski to take a start. 445 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: Against the Blue Jay. 446 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see how Mark Pryor Dave Roberts 447 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: navigate this out. 448 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 5: What is sort of like the break case you break 449 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 5: glass in case of emergency plan if they need to 450 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 5: bring up some e either length or another starter, who 451 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 5: do they kind of have ready to go? 452 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: That will be my first question, Well, my second question, 453 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: the first question today will be about show Hayes risk. 454 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: The second one will be. 455 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 2: How are you going to cover in the Innians And look, 456 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: we can sit here and talk about it. And this 457 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: is what makes baseball so fun. So Saki can go 458 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: out there, and you know, I still don't think they're 459 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: gonna let him go through a third time through the 460 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: order until he proves a little. 461 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: Bit more consistency. 462 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: But he can go out there and give them some length, 463 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: and she can have a much better result than last 464 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: time and log more innings and this is no longer 465 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: that big of a concern right now though based on 466 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: their first two starts, you know three, three and third 467 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 2: for emit She and four for Rokie. 468 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: You still need guys to cover innians. 469 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: You have some guys that can go and you know, 470 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: I think minus Tanner Scott's performance yesterday, he's looked a 471 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: lot better. 472 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: Alex Bessie has looks strong, will climb. So there are options. 473 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: But if one of these guys is unable to really 474 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 2: match their innings and you don't have her bust available, 475 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: that's where I think it gets a little dicey for 476 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: Dave Roberts and his staff. 477 00:20:59,240 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 8: Katie. 478 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: If you and your counterpart there with the athletic Fabi 479 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: and Ardaya talking about sho Hay's next pitching outing will 480 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 3: likely be the last day in Toronto, you mentioned that 481 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: he also Dave Roberts did reiterated from last night that 482 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: Rabeliski will start one of the games. As you mentioned 483 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: as well, why do you think or not why do 484 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 3: you think? But the usage with Otani and the Dodgers 485 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: operating conservatively, I mean, this is a plan that has 486 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: been I would imagine in the works for a long time, right, 487 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 3: like they knew what they were getting having him come 488 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: off of not pitching it all last year. What more 489 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 3: can you tell us about just that consistency in that 490 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: plan of being conservative. 491 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 2: Well, this is the first time that the Dodgers have 492 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: had Otani as the full season two way player, and 493 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 2: they'd like to keep it that way. The last time 494 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: Otani notched over I believe twenty three starts came in 495 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two with the Angels. So they have to 496 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 2: be conservative with his usage, and this is something that 497 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: I think Otani is also on board with. He mentioned 498 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: after his start earlier in the week that in twenty 499 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: twenty two it felt like a heavy workload, high intensity, 500 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: a lot more loose, a lot more easy. This spring 501 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: didn't feel one hundred percent that way in his first start, 502 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: but certainly an improvement, and it's all about keeping him healthy, 503 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 2: because again this goes back to kind of the lack 504 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: of options right now that the Dodgers have in their rotation. 505 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: You need Shoe Otani in the rotation. And that's something 506 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: that he takes very seriously. When he is pitching, that 507 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: is his prime focus. He goes into another gear or 508 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: another level, and I think he wants to prove that 509 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: he is still one of the most one of the 510 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 2: premier pitchers in the National League. And to do that 511 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: you have to be smart about when they use him. 512 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: He's coming off his second significant elbow surgery. These are 513 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: all things the Dodgers have to take into consideration, and 514 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 2: they will be very cognizant over how they use him 515 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: because he is a two way player, you know, resting 516 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: every picture and giving them the best runway and the 517 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 2: best recovery plan, especially in April where pitching injuries are 518 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: statistically at their highest, that's important. But you add in 519 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: a whole nother dynamic with the two way hitting lead off. 520 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: He's not going to take a day off. They're going 521 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: to have to build in rest days. 522 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: That's something that's it's just smart baseball, and I think 523 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 2: Otani sees that as well. It just does complicate things 524 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: a little bit, as Blake Snell is on the IL 525 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: and with Robuski needed to kind of cover some innings here. 526 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: That's why I think there's so much I don't want 527 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: to say pressure, but a little bit of pressure on 528 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: Glass now to pick up where he left off this spring, 529 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: on Roki to figure it out, on Sheian to better 530 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: establish that velocity, because you don't want the Dodgers to 531 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: get to a place where they can't cover innings. They've 532 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 2: already said the way that Otanni pitches is not going 533 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: to change their plan. He could go out and be 534 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: lights out, They're still going to give him extra rest days, 535 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: which means other guys in the rotation also have to 536 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 2: step up and go longer while also being cognizant of 537 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: their own health too. 538 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: It's complicated, you guys, It's complicated. 539 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 3: Well on Max or Max Munsey on foul Territory said 540 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 3: that regardless of the fact of how good of a 541 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 3: hitter Otani is, he loves pitching. He just he wants 542 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 3: to pitch, like that's what he enjoys doing, more than 543 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: even the offensive dominance that he has when he is 544 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: at the plate. All right, let's let's get to last 545 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 3: licks and talk about a pup. 546 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 6: Well, not really by an auction. 547 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: I like that. 548 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: You know my foundation more than I do.
