1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: I told people probably about a month and a half ago,

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: don't be shocked when we start to see some openers

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: early in this season despite all of the depth that

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: we assumed the club had entering spring. What's going on? Everybody?

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to a Wednesday edition of Dodgers Territory, the final

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: day before the regular season. We're excited about it. My

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: name is clip Seys. That is Katie wu Alana is

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: out today. She'll be back tomorrow. Meet her doing a

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: postgame after a Dodgers win. Katie. It's a calm before

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: the storm. We do have Dodgers news to get into.

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: But where's your headspace at? What are you feeling?

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: First? Can we can we commend the work office?

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. I set out a goal.

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: It's okay. It's on all the way done.

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: You can see there some.

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah to move my head, but no.

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: Shout out to my dad who came over and said,

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: up this desk was at the w WBC.

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: We have a show hay plaque. Things are looking good.

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Nice helping out.

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: That's right. I'm excited.

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: We got to do those three exhibition games to a

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: Dodger stadium. They kind of just feel like dress rehearsals.

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: And it felt like we were so close to real baseball.

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: I was joking around with a couple other reporters like,

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: once opening day hits, we just snap into a mode

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: that doesn't exist in any other aspect other than the

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: regular season. So and for as boring as Dodgers Camp was,

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: this last couple of days have really brought some new wrinkles.

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll get into it.

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: But to be able to like really dive in on

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: the most powerful team, and you know, one of the

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: most powerful teams in all sports, and to dissect their

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: season and to be there every day, I'm excited to

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 3: do the job.

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. And guys, she'll be around this season. She'll be

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: there every day. So make sure you join the rocket

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: ships of scraight help us get the twenty thousand subscribers.

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: You could show up and watch either way, but subscribing

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: really helps us out and boosts our ego and it

41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: helps with sponsors and things like that. But either way,

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: we got some Dodgers news, like you talked about, let's

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: get into it in the big ticket, Katy, the opening

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: day roster is pretty much set. We got some movement

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: on the injured list side of things. Your colleague Faby

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: and Ardaya reporting earlier today, We're gonna break this down

47
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: in a few different layers. They did add a reliever,

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: Jake Cousins. They also play seven guys if I'm good

49
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: at math, which I'm not. Seven guys on the injured list,

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: including Bobby Miller to the sixty day, which was a

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: bit of a wrinkle. A lot to break down from this,

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: But outside of maybe the Cousin's edition and the Miller,

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: it seems like maybe a little bit of the shocker

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: is the landon Nac move. What can you tell folks

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: about landon Nac going to the IL.

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one that we didn't we weren't previously aware of.

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: Every other name on that list makes sense, even Bobby

58
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: Miller seeing him on the sixty day, knowing that he

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: didn't really appear in spring with dealing with that shoulder issue, that.

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: All kind of checks out.

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: But land and Knack is dealing with an intercostal issue

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: of a sub sort. I don't know when that popped up,

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: whether that was recent or something that I've been kind

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: of in the second half of spring. A little surprising,

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: but you know, if this is where the Dodgers stand,

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: as they are close to finalize in their opening day

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: roster and it's one player with a surprise injury. While

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: it's very unfortunate for Landon Nac, I think the organization

69
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: will we'll take that as in, hey, it could be worse.

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: So don't love it for Landon Nac obviously when you

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: will get into the Dodgers' bullpen and how that's all

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: gonna work out. But overall pitching depth in general, this

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: is kind of I think how we expected camp to break.

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: And Bobby Miller obviously creates an opening day or a

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: spot on the forty man roster.

76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, Jake Cousins, we'll talk about that. You

77
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: say the roster, the opening day roster pretty much set.

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: I think it is set right now. They got twenty

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: seven dudes. Jake Cousins will be added to the at

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: least a fifteen day but can you know, be a

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: sixty day option if needed. Here's what I've got. You

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: should see it looking a lot prettier when Sujo and

83
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers put it out tomorrow. But like you said,

84
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: no real surprises. You know, I would still love to

85
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: see maybe a Kyle hurt On there. You'd love to

86
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: see Gavin Stone have ended up healthy but still a

87
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: very good twenty six man roster. And like we say

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: too much, like I say too much, guys opening day,

89
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: who was on that roster? It does not matter. It's

90
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: about who's healthy and available and hopefully performing well come

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: September and October. So is this fun? Is this ceremonial?

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: For sure? But it's far from a finished product for

93
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: this team. And Katie you have some thoughts on that.

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: We'll get into a little bit later. With your latest

95
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: column over at the Athletic, talked about the Jake Cousins

96
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: To go back to Fabian's work here. Signed reliever Jake

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: Cousins has a few years in the show, recovering from

98
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery, most recently pitching for the Yankees before

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: his elbow blew out. Yeah, what is this? This feels

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: every bit like a low risk, high reward kind of

101
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: move for the boys in Blue.

102
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: It's a very Dodgers esque signing obviously, Jay Cousins coming

103
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: back from Tommy John. The Dodgers are hopeful he'll be

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: available somewhat in the second half. Bobby and Ardaya reporting

105
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: that this is less than a million dollar guaranteed signing,

106
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: so low risk, high potential reward, just depending on Tommy John.

107
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: But the Dodgers are really good at these kind of

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: on the fringe kind of roster signings. You have Evan

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: Phillips kind of in the same boat as well. He's

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: looking more of a maybe around July kind of addition

111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 3: coming back from Tommy John. So it's it's just more depth.

112
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: And this will be a big part of what we

113
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: talk about for the Dodgers, especially in the first half,

114
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: is they're pitching depth overall, so banking on arms and

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: hoping that, you know, you can catch lightning in a bottle.

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: In the second half, Jake Cousins is a pretty safe bet.

117
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: I like it. They're not spending a ton of money,

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: not that it matters anyway. This is the Dodgers after all.

119
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, when I when I saw the name, I thought,

120
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: you know what, Yeah, that sounds very Dodgers.

121
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: So this checks out.

122
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are the type of moves they love to

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: make add somebody with some upside. You've seen it in

124
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: the past with like I could think of Tommy Cainley

125
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: coming back back from Tommy John surgery, but having him

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: having Evan Phillips looking at again that second half of

127
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: the season, some of the arms they could be adding back.

128
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Like right now, Katie, we were talking before going live.

129
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: You're in a little bit of a worry kind of mode.

130
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Like we we entered spring training like there's no questions,

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with this team. You get thirty days,

132
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, and change later. There's kind of it kind

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: of feels like there's a lot of questions for this team.

134
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: You know, where where What are your thoughts on where

135
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: things are at heading to opening day tomorrow.

136
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: So I have notably been a Roki Sasaki apologist on

137
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: the show, and I'm very much you know, pumped the brakes.

138
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: It's only been a couple of starts. I have changed

139
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: my tune a little bit. It did not look good

140
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: yet again in his final tune up, I mean thirty

141
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: pitches without recording an out, disappointing. Dave Roberts had said

142
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: to reporters before Brokie's last start that he expected to

143
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: see Sasaki in compete mode and Sasaki just clearly didn't

144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: have it. And we can get into the arguments of

145
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: if Sasaki should break with the camp or break break

146
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: camp in the rotation or should he be triple A like,

147
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: I hear both sides of that, But the Dodgers have

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: not wavered on their stance that he is going to

149
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: break camp in the rotation and he's going to start

150
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: the fourth game of the season, that is Monday against

151
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Guardians. They have that six man hybrid rotation

152
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: piggyback role designated for Justin Rubuski. They originally did that

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: because they were unsure how Shoho Tani would look with

154
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: his pitching progression after not pitching in the WBC. The

155
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: good news first, I don't think we have much to

156
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: worry about with Otani in that regard.

157
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: He's looked fantastic.

158
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: But that piggyback role is no longer going to be

159
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: kind of reserved for Otani. It's going to be deserve

160
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 3: for Sasaki because he has yet to show in six

161
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: weeks that he can get through a couple of innings.

162
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you name it. He's been through it.

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: The mechanical issues, missing arm side, really erratic fastball command,

164
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: who knows if that working into that third.

165
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: Pitch, and whose arsenal has really played into his head.

166
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: I see a lot of like mental I don't want

167
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: to say panic, but just kind of confusion. You don't

168
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: really know what's going on. And Sasaki is such high

169
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: talent for him to come out and have the spring

170
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: that he did with so much hype around him and

171
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: honestly so much skepticism at the same time, it's kind

172
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: of a worst case scenario for the Dodgers. We'll see

173
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: they are aided by a very favorable schedule for off

174
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: days in the first four weeks of the season they

175
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: can use with Bleski in that piggyback role. But you

176
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: also can't script ballgames two three days in advance. So

177
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: I'm not in the whole like send rogue Susaki down camp,

178
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: but he is very much on my number one worry

179
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: if I'm I've changed my tune, it's time to worry

180
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: about Roki Sasaki.

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had texted you during the game. I was like,

182
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: all right, I think we need to kind of change

183
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: a little bit here. I have firmly entered the worry camp.

184
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, we got to see what the dude can

185
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: give us during the regular season. I don't know that

186
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: I strongly agree with the statement I'm about to say,

187
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: which is that he's earned it. But the Dodgers are

188
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: going to give him that opportunity, every opportunity to figure

189
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: out how to pitch at the major league level. You

190
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: mentioned the mental there. David also mentioned the mental He

191
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: does seem at a little frightened on the mound. He

192
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: seems like he gets out beyond those bullpen gates and

193
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: the lights get a little bright for him. We saw

194
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: different moments of that last year. You know, even saw

195
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: moments of that during the postseason when he did have

196
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: a pretty dominant run. There was a couple of times

197
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: where he sort of lost his way and Dave luckily

198
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: in those moments, was able to pull him. Now you're

199
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: talking about Rubleski and being a piggyback back guy. You know,

200
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: it's a much better role for him than breaking case

201
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: of emergency when there's an emergency every you know, fourth

202
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: or fifth day in that starting rotation. So HOPEFU this

203
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: is one of those situations where you absolutely just put

204
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the spring training numbers to bed and enter the regular

205
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: season fresh. But if he can't, if he can't get

206
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: on track, I mean, rokie Ssaki needs to have an

207
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: extremely short leash and whether or not it's a River

208
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: Ryan situation, maybe landing at coming back from that oblique issue,

209
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: intercostal issue, whatever it is. We know help isn't immediately

210
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: on the way with Blake Snell or somebody like Gavin

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: Stone who's still bouncing back from his shoulder issues. So

212
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: not as a hunky dory as we thought in Dodger

213
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: Land coming out of spring training. You Pennacolumn dropped today

214
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: on the Athletic, as I love to say, very stupidly,

215
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: and you had a suggesting you have your your predictions here,

216
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: and we do have noster Dumbmass coming up in the

217
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: show a little bit later, the first edition in a

218
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: while of it in your first edition. Not that I'm

219
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: you're dumbass, that is all me, but one of the

220
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: things you have not yet you can earn your way

221
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: to it. But one of the points you made in

222
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: your column was do you think there could be a

223
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: blockbuster at the trade deadline? Explain more of what you're thinking.

224
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, one, I do think it is quite ridiculous to

225
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: hypothesize about the trade deadline on March twenty fifth, but

226
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: the Athletics said be.

227
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: Bold, so here I am.

228
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: I think when you look at how Andrew Freeman has

229
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: kind of monitored the trade deadline, and how he's acted

230
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: over the last few seasons. It's been more moderate. They

231
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: don't really do the big, blockbuster trades. They save those

232
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: for the off seasons and the checkbook. But they have

233
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: been so the Dodgers, and rightfully so protective and particular

234
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 3: about their minor league system and their depth. They are

235
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: one of the fewest organizations in baseball that has the

236
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: farm system to be able to swing a trade like this.

237
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: But you overpay a lot at the deadline when.

238
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: You are looking to acquire talent, and the Dodgers have

239
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: done a pretty good job of not doing that. I

240
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: do wonder though, if that changes, and that's going to

241
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: play into a lot of the starting pitching dep We

242
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: just talked about it. How's Roki going to look? How's

243
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: Blake Snell, Gavin Stone coming back? Where's River Ryan at?

244
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: That will kind of answer if the Dodgers go out

245
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: and kind of swing for a higher profile pitcher.

246
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about Tex Schoogle. Let's hump the

247
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: brace there.

248
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: I know I'm just clarifying, but I do wonder if

249
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: this is the off season where the dog or the

250
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: trade deadline where the Dodgers like, hey, you know what,

251
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: let's kind of see if we can go a little.

252
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: Bit bigger at this deadline.

253
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: I actually think it's still a little unlikely because they

254
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: would have to I think be really in danger zone

255
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: in that division. I don't see them being that way,

256
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: But it is worth monitoring because we don't know how

257
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: this next CBA is going to look. The Dodgers have

258
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: done an incredible job at taking advantage of the current

259
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: collective Bargaining agreement. I don't know what the next one's

260
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 3: going to look like. Nobody does. I would venture to

261
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: say that it's not you know, how baseball is being

262
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: played right now might not be the same. There might

263
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: be some different kind of rules and regulations that teams

264
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: have to go through. So if the Dodgers serious smell

265
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 3: going for their threepeat, which they are, and they are

266
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: underperforming to their standards come July, maybe, just maybe we

267
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: see a change of strategy.

268
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the biggest key is gonna be health,

269
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: and that's something we're gonna be talking about shortly. I think,

270
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: really the biggest key, the biggest player, is gonna be

271
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: Gavin Stone if he could bounce back. I mean, all

272
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: of them getting Blake Snell, having him that rotation is

273
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: going to be a massive boost and key for this team.

274
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: But Gavin Stone when he was healthy most recently he

275
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: was nasty, but that was a while ago now, but

276
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: you get him back, you get him doing Gavenstone things.

277
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: That's gonna help this club, to help everybody in that

278
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: front office, just you know, call him at they weigh

279
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: a little bit, just a little bit. We got more

280
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: DT coming up, but first we're gonna hear from our

281
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: friends over a foul territory.

282
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: Hey, if you get the age where everything feels a

283
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 4: little bit more difficult the jim, yes, but everything like

284
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: energy crashes in the afternoon.

285
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 5: You know, you might have been reading about load and

286
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 5: you see your doctor about it and they want to

287
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: give you basically shots every week for the rest of

288
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 5: your life.

289
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: Oh cool, that sounds fun.

290
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 5: And then you dig deeper and you realize what you're

291
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: signing up for, and it's three grand a year to

292
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,040

00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,280

Speaker 1: I just enjoyed watching your reaction in my small screen

305
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: of the second.

306
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: That was before.

307
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was somebody made that. Our friend Derek Lewandowski,

308
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: who is the host of Pinstripe Territory and also the

309
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: guy who came up with this segment that I stole

310
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: from him, that we're about to do right now, the

311
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: best case and nightmare scenarios for the Dodgers in twenty

312
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: twenty six. And I think we've talked a little bit

313
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: around it already. Things that go right for the team,

314
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: every baseball team, it's health. You got to start with health.

315
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: And it's not only keeping the guys that are on

316
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: that twenty six man to start the season healthy, it's

317
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: getting these dudes back so we don't have to We

318
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: could make you a little bit of a if I

319
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: may no str dumbass about your your bold prediction of

320
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: a trade deadline, because they already have all the dudes

321
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,359
Speaker 1: internal thoughts on your thoughts on staying healthy.

322
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: What it means for the club, that's key, right, And

323
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter what your payroll is, if it's a

324
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: Dodger's payroll, if it's a Rockies payroll, you have stay healthy.

325
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: And when you think about what the Dodgers starting lineup

326
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: looks like and the just caliber of overall talent, uh,

327
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: there's if you lose someone like a Mookie Bets or

328
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman or you know, any of those starters, you're

329
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: already down a significant amount of talent that most teams

330
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: don't have.

331
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: So staying healthy is imperative.

332
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: And we'll go back to the rotation because this is

333
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: where I think the Dodgers are going to get tested.

334
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: Shocker Dodgers, and there you know, several starting all their

335
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: starting pitching depth once again tested because I actually think

336
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: that pitching depth is a little bit more thin than

337
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: people probably perceive. Blake Snell is out, Gavin Stone is out.

338
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: River Ryan looked fantastic in spring, but he's coming back

339
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: from Tommy John. There's going to be an Indians limit,

340
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: and especially with pitcher injuries being at their highest statistically

341
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: in March and April, the Dodgers are going to be

342
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: careful with his usage. It's the smart thing to do.

343
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: But a lot of that kind of like second tier

344
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: depth is some of it's already up. Emma Shean's going

345
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: to start the year in the rotation, and you know,

346
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: again it's only spring, but there are some velocns. There's

347
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: some concerns about the stuff. The next kind of layer

348
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: of guys you're looking at Benksparius, Kyle Hurt. They're being

349
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: used as traditional relievers. Bobby Miller, for all of his woes,

350
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: still was an option to start until recently. Now he's

351
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: not going to become a believer. And he's also on

352
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: the il. So outside of River Ryan and Justin Rabluski,

353
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: who's being used in this piggyback role for now, I'm

354
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: not sure where the Dodgers go. Blake Snow and Gavin

355
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: Stone take a little bit longer to get healthy. So

356
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: that's already where we're looking at in terms of the

357
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: health concerns. Best case scenario, these guys stay healthy, Blake

358
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: Snow's back by end of middle of May. End of May,

359
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: Gavin Stone can return to his twenty twenty four form.

360
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: Worst case scenario.

361
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: We're spending a lot of time talking about who can

362
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: come up from Triple A and spots start because the

363
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: Dodgers have suddenly once again run into problems with their

364
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: bitching death.

365
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I told people probably about a month and a

366
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: half ago, like don't be upset or don't be shocked

367
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: when we start to see some openers early in this

368
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: season despite all of the depth that we assumed the

369
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: club had entering spring, and health plays into the next

370
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: point on things that need to go right or will

371
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: go right for the steam if they were to run

372
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: it back and go for the three beat, and you

373
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: nailed it all there. You know, the starting rotation becomes

374
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: what we thought it can be. When entering spring training,

375
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: I had a graphic of you know, nine are ten

376
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: potential starting pitching options, including guys like Kyle Hurt, who

377
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: I knew was most likely going to be destined for

378
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: the bullpen Cosparius as well. But Yeah, quickly very challenged

379
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: because Blake Snell enters the shoulders barking a little bit,

380
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: they have him shut down. Kyle hurt Is officially moved

381
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: to the bullpen, Gavin Stone start, makes one spring training

382
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: start and is shut down, and we don't know. I've

383
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: heard different sides of it. I've heard it it could

384
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: be very bad. I heard they have some concerns inside

385
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: that shoulder, and I heard, hey, he's gonna be shut

386
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: down for a little bit and and could begin ramping

387
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: up in about a month, which could lead to another shutdown.

388
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: So I am always a tread with caution when it

389
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: comes to shoulders. But thankfully this is a ball club

390
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: that has Shoho Tani that's gunning for cy Young and

391
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: gunning to make thirty starts maybe more, Yoshinoba Yamamoto coming

392
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: off of a heroic postseason, our ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto looking

393
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: to make another thirty start season, and Tyler Glasnaw I

394
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: think this is the year, this is a career year

395
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: for him. We're looking at twenty five plus starts, which

396
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: is a lot for him because his career high is

397
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: twenty two, once made in twenty twenty four with the Dodgers.

398
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: So that starting rotation becomes what we thought, what we expect,

399
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: what this front office expected to be. Then it's gonna

400
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: be pretty smooth sailing one sixty two and beyond. I

401
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: feel good about that. But we'll talk more about things

402
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: that could go wrong shortly. We're staying positive right now, Katie,

403
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: and we got to talk about another guy you had

404
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: mentioned your column you mentioned on Monday as well. Ti

405
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: Oscar has a tail a twenty twenty four kind of year.

406
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: I think that's massive for this team. Him hitting down

407
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: the lineup and being a run producer. That's key.

408
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: Ti Oscar looks fantastic this spring. And it's funny how

409
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: we kind of use like spring numbers when they're great,

410
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: like they you set him up for, like, oh, he's

411
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: gonna have a great year, and when they're bad, you're like, oh,

412
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: it's just spring training. But what has released it out

413
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: to me about Tioscar is his mindset. And obviously he

414
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 3: came to spring training noticeably trimmer. I think he dropped

415
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: at least ten pounds. He was well aware of the

416
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: discourse surrounding him that the Dodgers were kind of kicking

417
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: the tires on a potential trade.

418
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: He switched positions.

419
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: He's more comfortable in right field, but he switched to

420
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 3: left field because his play didn't more in him sticking there,

421
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: you have Kyle Zucker taking over right field. Now, ti

422
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: Oscar Harnandaz wants to be a part of this club

423
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: and an impactful part of this club, He's going to

424
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: have to switch positions. And players can take that a

425
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: certain way when you're being connected to trade rumors, when

426
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: a team is asking me to switch positions so they

427
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 3: can essentially put someone better in your old spot. And

428
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: he responded by saying, you know what, I'm here to work.

429
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: I want to be a Dodger. I'm going to show

430
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: you how seriously. I took the off season and he

431
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 3: had a really, really strong spring, And in the brief

432
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: conversations I've had with ti Oscar, it sounds like he's

433
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: in a really good place. You make up a good

434
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: point about where he's hitting in the lineup, but sometimes

435
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: we're going to see Tioscar hitting seventh. Maybe if he

436
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: has the kind of twenty twenty four offense from the

437
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: seven hole, maybe we would need to worry about that

438
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 3: pitching because the Dodgers will score twelve uns a game

439
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: and everything will be great. But if looking for a

440
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: position player to really click, you can go through the list.

441
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: You know, I'm'm obviously very high on Mooki Bets. I

442
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: think Freddy Freeman is going to have another great year,

443
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: but Tioscar Hernandez is kind of my pick to be like, hey,

444
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 3: you know what, I did not have a good twenty

445
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: twenty five. The off season was it was a real

446
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: a reality check. Let me go out and show how

447
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: much I want to be a part of this three feat,

448
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: how much I want to be a Dodger. I'm willing

449
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: to do whatever, but I'm going to play as to

450
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: a higher caliber. I think we're going to see that

451
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 3: come tomorrow.

452
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tao going to have himself a big season. Mookie

453
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: Bets also, it seems like he is absolutely locked in

454
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: some of the work he's doing working with you know,

455
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: YadA sense. This is a guy that does not want

456
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: to have his late his mid and late thirties be

457
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: him hitting two thirty or two forty. No, Mookie Bets

458
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: wants to be Mookie Bets for the rest of his career.

459
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: He wants to fill up both of those hands with

460
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: the rings if he can, and he wants to be

461
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. That is a first ballot unanimous,

462
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: not even the one guy who didn't vote for Ichi

463
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Row won't vote for Mookie bets this. He's he's determined.

464
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: He hated how poorly he played last year. So if

465
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: Mooki has himself a mooky kind of here, the kind

466
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: of stuff we've seen from him in the past, you know,

467
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: maybe even getting close. I hope he doesn't try to

468
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: hit forty homers, but we saw some dinger power in

469
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: there a couple of seasons ago. Those are Mooki is

470
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: among the things. So if he goes right, he goes right,

471
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: and the rest of it goes right, we will be

472
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: enjoying watching this team hoist another Commissioner's trophy about I'm

473
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: bad at math seven months from now. But the things

474
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: that can go wrong, and they all tie into everything

475
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: we just talked about that starting rotation doesn't ever get

476
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the full health. You don't see Blake Snell come back.

477
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: Rokie is you know a wolf in sheep's clothing that

478
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: we kind of have seen so far this spring training.

479
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: Gavin Stone doesn't come back needs more surgery. Health in general,

480
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Max Munsey is one of those guys who suffered with health,

481
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: whether it's weird little things that grab on him or

482
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, a knee injury that happened last year, you know,

483
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: but there's a Kyle Tucker injury. You know, he missed

484
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: some time last year. You know, losing ta Oscar, Like

485
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: the health is a big one. We retouched on those.

486
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: But the bullpen, this is where things can get a

487
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: little bit scary. If the bullpen is bad again, Katie,

488
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be a lot of fun for

489
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers fans.

490
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: No, and we're gonna find out real quick the state

491
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: of the bullpen.

492
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: The Dodgers did an incredible job going out and getting

493
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz, the best closer available. It's been a minute

494
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: since they had a true, bona fide, true closer in

495
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: the ninth But the concern is can they get to him?

496
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: Can they get to Edwin Diaz?

497
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 3: And a lot of the pressure is going to be

498
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: on Tanner Scott and Blake Trianon as the veterans setup guys.

499
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: In a perfect world for the Dodgers, you have Trianon available,

500
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: you have Tanner Scott to take the lefty lane. You

501
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: can kind of use them intermittently depending on matchup, and

502
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: it alleviates a little bit of the pressure off some

503
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 3: of the younger guys like a Casparius or something. If

504
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: those two struggle, all of that pressure goes on Alex Bessia.

505
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 3: And that's not to say that Alex Bessia can't be trusted.

506
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of trust for so many

507
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: good reasons in Alex Bessia.

508
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: But he can't pitch every day.

509
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 3: So to put the onus on Tanner Scott, who needs

510
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: to have a bounce back year and is aware of it,

511
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 3: and for Blake Trianon, who also knows the same thing.

512
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 3: They are going to carry a lot of the weight

513
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: and responsibility to open the season. There's also going to

514
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: be a little bit of it. I'm really interested to

515
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: see how Dave Roberts manages this. It's going to be

516
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 3: difficult to piece of the bullpen sometimes because in April

517
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: you're not pushing your starters to go seven to eight.

518
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: You know, they're especially given what we just talked about

519
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: with kind of the thinness of the starting rotation, Choeo

520
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: Tani is not going to touch the eighth in his

521
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: first start. Dave Roberts said that Tyler Glass, now they

522
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: go he's looked great, but they're not going to push

523
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: him to limits. Because they need him to cover innings,

524
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: so the bullpen needs to step up. That's going to

525
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: be even more difficult with Robleski in a designated role

526
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: and in a perfect role, he doesn't need to log

527
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: four innings behind Roki Sasaki, but you have to kind

528
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: of reserve him just in case. And we talked about

529
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: this earlier. You can't script games. You need to just

530
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: be able to go out and play the game. Let

531
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: it dictate who can be used. If can the Dodgers

532
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: do that with the way that things are currently constructed,

533
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: A lot of it's going to depend on how the

534
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: rotation looks and how Arbleski is used, which puts more

535
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: pressure on Tanner, Scott and Blake trian and to be

536
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: effective in their roles to get to Edwin Diaz great stuff.

537
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: There another wrinkle to that whole thing. Even if they

538
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: have to or need to pull from Triple A, pull

539
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: from the minor leagues. They have been barking about this

540
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: for number of years now. There is a serious roster

541
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: crunch on that forty man. They don't have a lot

542
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: of pieces that they can move DFA to create space

543
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: if they need. Somebody mentioned in the chat right now,

544
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: like Antoine Kelly. If they need to call up Kelly,

545
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: he's not on that forty man. You're gonna need to

546
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: either DFA somebody most likely, and it could be a

547
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Miller, it could be I don't know who else,

548
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: the guy they designed, even though he'll be on the

549
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: sixty days so he won't even count. But people also

550
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: clamoring for a ben Rytvett return. He's out of options.

551
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: He is not an option to return unless he gets

552
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: dfaid and they sign him to a minor league deal.

553
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: But watch that forty man because there could be some

554
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: very tough conversations to be had as a season trudges along.

555
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: The final thing I've got and this sort of lends

556
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: itself to what I was trying to get across to

557
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts when we sat down with him about a

558
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: month ago. But for people that have been watching this

559
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: team for a while, you think back to seventeen eighteen nineteen,

560
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: things did not always go the Dodgers way. Now you

561
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: flash forward, twenty was different. Twenty that was a very

562
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: good baseball team. Twenty four twenty five, they win the

563
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: World Series. Things went their way the Dodgers. It's a

564
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: nightmare scenario. If the ruck of the ruck, the luck

565
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: runs out, if you're saying the words correctly, if a

566
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 1: Yankee center fielder doesn't drop the easy fly ball, if

567
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole doesn't cover first base, if Oryan Kirkering throws

568
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: the first base instead of to the backstop, if ikf

569
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: gets a slightly better secondary lead. Dodgers aren't winning back

570
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: to back World Series and they're not winning a third

571
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: if they don't have that kind of luck. So that's

572
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's not a tangible thing, Katie,

573
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: But you know, I'd rather be lucky than good when

574
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: it comes to baseball.

575
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: I also think that's kind of a testament to the

576
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 3: Dodgers knowing how to win big games. Though, Like don't

577
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 3: get me wrong, Baseball, especially the postseason, is a lot

578
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: of luck and a lot of things going your way.

579
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: The mistakes that the teams make.

580
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: That the Dodgers are playing. The Dodgers often don't make

581
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 3: those kinds of mistakes because they know how to win

582
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: those big games. That's what makes them so hard to

583
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: be in the postseason. There's no panic, think about the

584
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: World Series, think about any game, and a crazy play

585
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: the Dodgers made it's because there's not a lot of

586
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: panic because they have the experience, because they've won like

587
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: that before. That goes a long way, especially in those

588
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: high profile games. Ryan kurk Green had never been in

589
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: that situation before, and for the Dodgers, the majority of

590
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: that roster has been in that position multiple times. So

591
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: it is a little bit of luck. There's always luck

592
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: in baseball, but I think a lot of the Dodgers

593
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: are able to manifest their own luck because they have

594
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: that experience, and that is one thing that's not going

595
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: away in twenty twenty six.

596
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: They are very experienced.

597
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: They are going to be very good. They are the

598
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: favorites to win the Division, they're the favorites to win

599
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: the World Series. We'll talk about, you know, final predictions

600
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: and all of that, but it's a good point. At

601
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: some point, like dominance does run out, but this experience

602
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: isn't going anywhere, and that's what's going to be able

603
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: to let them really kind of shine in those pivotal moments.

604
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: Great great addition there, and that's something that Alana and

605
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: I preached a lot during the postseason last year. That

606
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: experience will shine through against team like the Milwaukee Brewers,

607
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: against a team like the Philadelphia Phillies. Even though they

608
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of dudes who have been there, done that,

609
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: they don't have as many as the Los Angeles Dodgers.

610
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: So I love this chat, Sheriff Bart. They're gonna need

611
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: rots of rock. Guys. We got a little bit more

612
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: DT coming up first, A quick word and we'll be

613
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: back with the dog and predictions. AJ.

640
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: Just help out Alana, she would very much appreciate it.

641
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: Our baseball thought for the road. What's about time we

642
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: do some predictions. I did this last night on my

643
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: All Dodgers show. Check it out if you guys want.

644
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: We did it for an hour. We touched on everything

645
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: up to including who wins World Series, shocker, it's the Dodgers,

646
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But beyond that, how many wins

647
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: did the Dodgers have in twenty twenty six? Kidi Woo, I.

648
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: Would love to say that I cover a team that

649
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: had won one hundred games, but I'm going to go

650
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: ninety seven. I'm going to go ninety seven. It's still

651
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: well enough to win the division. I don't think anyone

652
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: else that division is going to win more than eighty

653
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: eight games. Yeah, I would like to be wrong, but

654
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm one ninety seven.

655
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: You undersell and then hopefully they're able to over deliver.

656
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: But again, there's a lot of things, little things, little

657
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: nagging things that can go wrong, especially early in the season.

658
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: We know once sixty two doesn't mean as much to

659
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: this baseball team. I either way, I do have the

660
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: Dodgers eclipping the century mark, eclipsing the century. I got

661
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and two wins. They are not going to

662
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: break the two thousand and one Seattle Mariners one hundred

663
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: and sixteen win season. I'm sorry. There are just too

664
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: many questions, and they don't care enough. Dave does not

665
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: care enough. This run officer does not care enough to

666
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: want to win. It's not that they don't care. They

667
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: don't care enough to match or surpass some arbitrary number.

668
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 1: They care about keeping their team healthy and ready to succeed.

669
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: In October, we saw this team chase wins before. That's

670
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: what happened in twenty twenty one. They were trying to

671
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: keep their division, the line of Division crowns alive and

672
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: chasing the Giants, who ended up winning just one more

673
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: game than one hundred and seven one hundred and six.

674
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: I think it was don't do that. Don't do that again.

675
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: That team crumbled, they fell apart. We just talked to

676
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: one of the guys a couple weeks ago. Corey Kanabele's

677
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: part of that team. It was fun, but they ran

678
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: out of steam. Don't let that happen again. Opening Day tomorrow,

679
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: five thirty Pacific time. Will be there, so she won't

Speaker 1: I will be back postgame right after the game. Got

682
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,120
