The Three Stooges are back. 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.680 I am a Wana Rizzo. That is Katie Wu. That 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.160 is Clint Psius. We are happy that you guys are here. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.840 Join us in the comments. We want to know how 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.200 you feel. We got a lot to talk about. Let's 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.160 get right, yes, everybody, let's get to the big ticket. 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:49.320 Let's just talk about Katie Wu. Will the Los Angeles Dodgers, 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:54.160 the back to back World Series champions, ever win another game? 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:55.120 Well? 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.000 I mean, like, judging by the fact that we all, 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.680 without even communicating, showed up wearing black two. 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.280 I guess death of the Dodgers on the show. Maybe not. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.840 I mean, this is like an unspoken wardrobe choice. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.320 It's Navy. It's Navy. I'm not I'm not quitting. I'm 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.479 not quitting. Its Navy. But you're right, what the hell 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:15.040 the funeral is here? 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.920 Ye dressed for it? 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.040 It wasn't a great week of Dodger baseball, I think, 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.120 especially when you're looking at how they stacked up against 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.760 what looked like two for sure playoff teams, especially the 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.080 Cubs after the deadline that they had. You want to 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.040 see a little bit more against the Red Sox. I 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.640 think they've won twenty five of their last twenty eight. Alana, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.600 you would know more. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.360 And then the Cubs, rejuvenated by Jed Hoyer's moves at 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.840 the deadline, they get at their starting pitching, and the 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.319 Dodgers with their big addition didn't really come out so 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.200 hot at Wrigley Field. Am I concerned about this right now? No, 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.520 we'll get into this later. We can all expand on it. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.240 But am I gonna say here and say great week 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.120 a Dodger baseball? Also, No, I think there's some rifle 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.760 concerns about the state of the offense overall. The bullpen, 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.080 especially from the right side, not looking too hot. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:01.600 The off day today, you. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.640 Guys, well needed for everybody, especially that team. My main 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.320 takeaway is that the last week, especially at rick leg Field, 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:08.520 they look pretty fatigued. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.040 That's the thing, right I was just going to ask you, Clint, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.200 and we can talk to Katie about it too, She's 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.600 the one that tweeted it on X Is this team tired? 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.760 Is this team fatigued? What are you noticing? 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.160 Yeah, it seems to happen about this time every year, 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.160 where you know, we've talked about it a different a 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.120 few different times over the last month or two. It's 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.840 a team that is tired. It's a team that plays 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.760 a lot of baseball late into each year. They start 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.320 baseball early because they're going to Japan, they're going to Korea, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:43.000 they're going to playing in the WBC. You know, I know, Katie, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.120 you had replied to someone on the Twitter machine about 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.679 the fact that they are tired. I mean, if the 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.160 broadcasters at the reporters are tired on these you know, 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.400 on these trips, they're not the ones going out there 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.799 and playing baseball. Was a pretty gnarly trip for them. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.960 Even coming out of the All Star brek. It's been 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.280 a grind that said, we understand they get played, paid 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.400 a lot of money to play baseball and do this game. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.640 They're still humans too, but yeah, this has to be 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.600 an absolute battle. This is part of the grind of 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.880 one hundred and sixty two games. Every once in a while, 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.480 You're gonna see the best team in baseball, the team 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.720 that pays all that money for all those stars, lose 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.240 six in a row, lose eight of their last ten, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.840 be sixteen or thirteen and sixteen since July first. You 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.720 saw some signs of life late last night, and I 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.280 agree with Katie. This day off could not come at 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.000 a better time going into Arizona. You have some luck there, 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.280 you have some good history there. It's about time to 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.640 put up a dub in Arizona with Rokie on the 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.960 bump on Friday, and they will do that. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.520 And that team still has an eight game lead in 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.560 the standings. It is okay, I understand we all want 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.920 them to go one sixty two and oh, but the 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.720 thing is what an issue is right now? If it 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.280 is an issue, but something to talk about for certain 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.160 is a first round by Katie Wu is suddenly in jeopardy. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.800 Ken Rosenthal talked about this today on Fair Territory with 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.440 Ken Rosenthal. Their half game behind them, Braves now for 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.080 that second seat. And remember a lot of folks don't 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.080 remember that the Dodgers didn't have a first round by 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.120 last year either, right, Remember they had to beat the 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.920 Cincinnati Reds in that first wildcard round and they ended 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.960 up winning the World Series. But do you think about that? 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.360 Are they thinking about that? What's your take on it? 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.479 One hundred percent they're thinking about it. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.800 They're maybe not thinking about it on August sixth, but 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.360 still seven ish weeks to play in the regular season. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.480 But the Dodgers internally have said, you know, yeah, we 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.800 don't really care that much about the regular season win 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.200 record as long as we get the first round by, 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.680 and we've talked about it on the show. They're not 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.039 going out there for THEIRS to go out and win, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.840 you know, one hundred plus games. That's not a goal 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.920 of theirs. They're a goal of THEIRS. The only goal 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.599 in the next two months is to win enough games 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.720 to lock down the first round by Because of what 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.960 we just talked about. We'll go back to the travel thing. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.520 Coming out of the All Star Break, four cities in 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.320 ten days. They forfeit that off day to go to 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.599 the White House. They come back, they have six games 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.560 against two good American League teams, red Eye to Chicago, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.000 and you saw how that went. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:09.640 Not great. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.880 This team also not the youngest roster we've ever seen. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.400 There are some older guys who have accomplished a lot 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.760 in their career, but still, when you look at recovery 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.960 in your thirties, trust me, it's a lot harder than 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.440 in your time. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:22.560 Save it. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.799 So it's true, But from a baseball standpoint, the reason 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.200 why the first round by is so imperative is because 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.080 these guys need to rest. They're showing fatigue right now, 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.520 which is understandable, and I'm not going to make excuses 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.840 for this team, and neither will they. Every baseball team 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.760 has a growing part of their schedule. The travel is 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.640 part of it, but you can question if their recovery 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.160 is where they need it to be, especially because when 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.159 you look at how the roster is currently constructed, it's. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.080 Very bright headed heavy. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:50.840 There are not a lot of ways for Dave Roberts 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.360 to work in rest for his regulars because he doesn't 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.680 really have any platoon advantages. So we can't really get 0:05:55.720 --> 0:06:00.240 guys off or get guys days off throughout the course 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.920 of the regular season. We're going past that because it 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.200 really isn't a bench back right there. There's no platoon 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.480 that they can use. Now, that's why they want the 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.680 first round by so badly. These guys would do anything 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.559 to just kind of skip the wild card round. 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.680 You're able to set up. You're pitching much better going into. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.800 The DS, all the strategy of things, but from a 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.800 rest and workload standpoint, you're seeing how this team looks 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:21.160 right now. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.360 Fatigue is a real thing to worry about going down 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:23.840 the stretch. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.800 I thought you were gonna teae me. You said you 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:29.599 were gonna teae. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:29.680 Me on that. 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.800 I know that that is not true. Quinn. If you 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.479 look at our slack channel. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.159 This, oh you know what. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.440 Hey enough, I'm putting my hand up. I'm putting my 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.680 hand up. I'm putting my hand up. I'm taking accountability. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.719 I fucked up. I fucked up. I need a day 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:48.040 off too. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.000 Don't don't throw the old lady under the bus. It's 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.440 your I try it so. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.280 Hard to keep that on track. I'm not taking it, 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.320 and I'm I'm innocent in this one that is on 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.440 YouTube and it was a. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:06:59.960 Compelling to art. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:02.760 Yeah, it was. It was great. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.240 Listen If anybody you can go check LinkedIn and see 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.120 if there's any job openings with the Dodgers to get 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.600 them off or whatever it is. 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.360 But yeah, what are we talking about? Yeah? The first round? 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.440 By listen right, there's so much baseball. We'll get back 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.280 on track here. Hopefully you guys enjoy it. If you're 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:19.080 enjoying any of this. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.360 Bas hit that like Buttoner, subscribe to the channel everybody. 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.440 Yeah, it's an off day, and you know what, you 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:25.840 need a little levity, we do. 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.400 This team needs a little levity and they need a 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.239 little bit of amen. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.840 Joy man, that was probably not a very happy flight 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.960 back from Chicago there. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.120 But yeah, first round by. 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.440 We've seen this team over the last handful of seasons 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.920 go all which ways, whether you have a first round by, 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.560 whether you're playing in the wildcard, You've seen the last 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.680 two years going both ways with it. They know how 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.240 to win, they know how to get through that. I'm 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.520 not worried about any of these wildcard teams and the 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:53.520 Dodgers getting through it. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:55.760 Been there, done that. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.880 Yes, would you like to have those five days off? 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.760 Do they know now how to handle the five days 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.560 off in between the regular season and the start of 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:04.520 the division series. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.040 Yes, they've kind of figured that out. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.200 Still, there's so much time for them to get things 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.880 sorted out right now they are on this skid. While 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.120 the Braves, who didn't really do shit at the trade 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.480 deadline are adding on like a heater. I think they've 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.040 rattled off seven wins in a row themselves. So it's 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.520 just that perfect storm of one hundred and sixty two 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.560 game baseball season where you're gonna have this and we're 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:27.200 gonna have. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.120 The the. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.280 Just you know, one one ship lowers in the wave 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.160 and the other one raises and all that and things 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.440 are gonna balance out with the Dodgers end up on top. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.040 That said, people are still panicking, Alana, is it time 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.959 to throw up any sort of panic? And I think 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.439 you are the right person to throw this too, because 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:46.840 I know what you're gonna say. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.440 It's going to be great. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.280 It's going to be great. You guys. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.200 They had a stretch last year where they went ten 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.079 and fourteen in July, including a seven game losing streak, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.480 and everyone expects the Dodgers to never lose a game, correct, 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.520 And that's okay. I'd rather they have the little bit 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.120 of a slump here in the early part of August, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.160 last part of July, early part of August. They opened 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.160 September with this, with a five game skid. This game. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.319 This happens over one hundred and sixty two games and Katie, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.800 of course, is doing all of the diligent work being 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.680 in the clubhouse, being at all of the games, and 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.040 she talked to Freddy Freeman about this. So, Katie, what 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.520 did Freddy say to you when you talk to him 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.960 about this six game losing street Because fans obviously think 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.440 the sky is falling, it's just a little bit of 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:29.959 a blip. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.200 I mean, can you can you blame the fans for 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.000 thinking this because they have They're just not accustomed to losing. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.000 So every team goes through losing skids. The Los Angeles 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.800 Dodgers are not immune to this. We've talked about how 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.520 the travel might be playing a little bit of part 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.640 into it, and just the overall but but Freddy said 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.880 all the right things, you know, he said, I'll expand 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:47.080 on that. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.679 You're not going to get an excuse from any of us. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.199 We expect to win every time we come to the 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:51.880 yard where a great baseball team. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.520 We just haven't played well the last week. And that's it. 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.440 They haven't played well the last week. 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.720 They're going to be fine, assuming that everyone says healthy, 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.360 you have place now coming back next week. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:02.240 Tyler Glass now. 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.000 Looked really good in a short reabsent Edwin Diaz a 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.240 little rusty. But for me, it's all about just making 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.280 sure they're rested and the workload is consistent leading into October. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.240 I'm not sitting here thinking, oh my goodness, the Los 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.400 Angeles Dodgers are going to miss the playoffs. I'm looking 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.599 and saying, oh my goodness, the Los Angeles Dodges a 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.320 our baseball team. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.199 They're going to go through skids right now. And he 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:21.520 went on. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.960 Freddy said this, and I thought this was a good point. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.240 I'll find the direct quote. We've lost what three or 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.280 four in a row a couple times already this year, 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.240 we win four in a row. No one else is 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.840 talking about the six in a row we just lost, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.720 So it's on us. We've just got to play better 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:35.440 on Friday. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:35.840 That's it. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.920 They just have to play better baseball. They certainly have 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.480 the roster capability to do so. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:40.520 Rest up. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.000 It's like four hundred degrees in Arizona anyway, so don't 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:44.600 go outside. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.520 Stay in. They're staying at a nice little hotel. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.640 Get your rest room service, get back to the yar 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.720 at Arizona playing some really good ball as well. And 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.719 let's not forget they did sweep them right before the 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.840 All Star break at Dodger Stadium, looking for some revenge there. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.360 Probably Again, I'm not worried. It has not been good baseball. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.520 We've seen a little bit of exposure with the lack 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.199 of offensive production. These are all things to monitor going 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.760 down the stretch. You need I know, he had a 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.640 four hit game yesterday. You need better offense from Mookie Betts. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.360 You need better production from Tiascar Hernandez, you need better 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.640 production from Kyle Tucker. Just the same things you've been 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.280 saying all season long. Showing how tany at least started 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.600 to look good Max Muncy, Clutch Homer. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:19.480 I know they weren't able. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.040 To complete the comeback, but I liked the five run 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.480 eighth inning yesterday at Wrigley Field. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:24.400 That showed a little fight. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.880 I expect the Dodgers to look like a much different 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.800 baseball team over the than they have the last week 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:29.520 starting Friday. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.600 Yeah, offense leaving something to be desired. Maddie Man in 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.960 the chat to say, and it's not the pitching. It's 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.079 the offense. And I would argue a little bit with 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.080 the pitching. The bullpen has been really bad. They had 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.840 I think leads in five of the last like seven games, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.800 or however it goes, they've had leads in a lot 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.439 of these games that uncharacteristically they have lost. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.559 That is just not what we actually in all six games. 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.040 Listening it was, I was listening to the game on 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.480 the radio on AM five to seventy. Shout out Tim Neverett, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.280 Rick Monday, Dave Vesse, Dwayne McDonald. I was listening to 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.800 the game and had mentioned that in the first five 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.800 games of the six game losing straight, the Dodgers had 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.079 the lead in every single game and ended up losing 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.400 that game. And then show, hey, o'tana gets a lead 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.400 up or it gets a home run in the yeah, 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.880 lead up home run in the final game of the 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.040 series with the Cubs, and then PCA does the same 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.600 thing to tie it and the Dodgers end up losing. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.000 So technically you could say all six games, all six games, 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.280 the Dodgers had the lead and ended up going oh 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.960 for six, which is not not that's not that's not 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.280 it's not going to be great. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:30.559 That's not gonna be you know. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.280 The thing I'm saddest about, most embarrassed about, is we're 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.520 looking bad in front of Tarret guys like school, going 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.760 to think this is a bad team. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.920 Stop so happy to be here right now, Give me 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.200 a break. He's so happy he pitched well enough to win. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:47.960 It's not on him. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.320 He's had absolutely not. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.600 They were crazy play that little ball going five hundred 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.000 feet off home plate like that was. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.240 It was not a Baltimore chop. That was a main shot. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.400 That thing just kept on on flying. I'm looking at 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.640 the map from from like you know. Anyways, The point is, 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.480 Dodger are gonna better. We are going to talk about 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.840 the Dodgers competition in all of baseball, not just the National. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.760 League coming up in just a second. But first we 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:12.120 got to. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.680 Talk about seat Geek, because at some point in time, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.000 much like Katie Woo, the Dodgers will return home. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.440 They'll be in their own beds. They'll be able to 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:21.680 go out and party all night long. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:23.840 That's what I said. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.240 I isn't much like you. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.440 You are right now, You are home, right now. I 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.160 know what I'm setting up here. It's big brain stuff. 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:35.640 All right, let's let me get off on this. Oh sorry, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.480 seat Keek. Sorry, listen, Dodgers are returning home next week. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.000 You got Max Munsey World Series Home or Bobblehead Night. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.320 I think it's Salvadorian Heritage Night as well career Hello 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.640 Kitty Night, which is always absolute anarchy at the ballpark. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.680 It's anarchy. They love it and you know that Hello 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.760 Kitty's not a cat. That's for another show, but anyway, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:56.200 keep going. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.640 That's for no shows. That's it. That's the one time 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.280 we ever once a year. A lot of can bring 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:01.800 that up. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.320 But big series coming up later on next week that 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.360 we will talk about next week for sure. The Brewers 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.280 come to town for four Clayton Kershaw Bobblehead as well. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.600 That's on August fourteenth, which we will get into you 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.480 a little bit more during less licks because we all 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.120 big auction.

We understand the Dodgers are in 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.040 an interesting position right now. Fans aren't used to this, 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.640 and we're looking up at other teams. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.440 We have been beat pretty bad, swept back to back series. 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.880 Now the Cub's looking good, the Red Sox, Red Sox 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.680 looking really good. We know the Brewers are good, the 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.520 Braves suddenly good. Who are the teams which of all 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.280 of baseball, all twenty nine other clubs, Who are the 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.920 current biggest threats to the Dodgers in our opinions, Katie, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.800 why don't you te us up here or lead us 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.440 off on who do you think the biggest threats are 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.800 for the Dodgers in their pursuit of a three peat. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:56.040 Yeah, I'll do a brief synops on Milwaukee. Fantastic get 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.440 winning in the regular season. Could just very very good 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.120 at excelling putting together winning roster given their small market payroll. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.640 I have yet to see them win significantly in the postseason. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.680 So, with all due respect. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.240 To what Milwaukee is doing, my biggest threats that I'm 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:12.760 looking at in the National. 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.240 League, it's actually just one. It's the Chicago Cubs. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.240 And maybe that's a little bit of a recency bias 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.120 because I just saw them play the last three games, 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.400 But I just love what they did at the trade deadline. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:22.960 They needed pitching help. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.680 And so they went out there and they got Clay Holmes, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.040 which I thought was a great pickup. Kevin Gosman's probably 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.160 my favorite of that, you know, Braxton Garrett, And then 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.400 every trade deadline from like each league, there's a reliever 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.080 that we've never heard of that's all of a sudden 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.120 nasty and becomes a huge target. That's Ryan Zephyrjon from 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.280 the previously the Angels. So getting those four guys has 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.280 completely fortified what was their most. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.640 Inconsistent part of their game. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.200 When you look at who they were missing, you know, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.560 justin Steel, Edward Cabrera's on the il might be coming back. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:51.640 Though then you have. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.360 Like you still look at who's left in that rotation. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.760 I'm a big show to girl. We know this, especially 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.000 when he looks like how we did yesterday. This Cub's 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.200 rotation can pitch and they have the star power. Dodgers 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:06.560 fan favorite Pete crow Armstrong making MVP. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.520
