Roki's Best Game Yet? 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.720 Has he had the velocity and the pinpoint location like 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:04.520 he did tonight. 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:06.800 That's what I don't feel like we've seen. 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.560 Hello everybody, and welcome to this live edition of Dodgers 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:28.920 Territory postgame on this July seventeenth, Happy Friday. Everybody, If 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.120 you are with us, that says a lot about you. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.360 I'm not sure what it says, but it says a lot. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:38.080 We are cited Alanaizzo, Clint Pissius, obviously. Katie Wu is 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.960 currently in the Dodgers clubhouse right now after a good, 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.680 hard fought win against the New York Yankees in game 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.280 one of a three game set to get started in 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.239 terms of the second half of the season. Show your 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.360 thoughts about this game in the live chat. We want 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.880 to know what you guys think. Let's get into this one. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.600 The second half kicked off in New York against the 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.440 New York Yankee. Is the first time, guys, the Dodgers 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.160 have been to Yankee Stadium since Game five. We all 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:10.240 remember it twenty four World Series. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:12.920 We're gonna talk Roky Sasaki. 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.280 We're gonna talk a lot of things, and I have 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.679 to say, Clint Roki Sasaki was pretty good in this game. 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.240 The story is not Roki Sasaki. It's what happened in 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.400 terms of him defensively around him and Max Funky Monsy. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.440 Your thoughts, sir, Yeah, a lot. 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.920 We could dive into a lot of different little things 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.240 to talk about with this game. I appreciate that Roki 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:42.120 is not the storyline of this game, because well, there's 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.240 two ways. You can either be the good storyline because 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.600 you pitched a no hitter or something like that, or 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.680 you could be a bad storyline. We've had a little 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.240 bit too much of with Roki this season. But he was, 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.280 you said, like, kind of low key. 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.640 Great. We'll talk about him. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.200 A little bit later. We'll get the negative stuff out 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.760 of the way. You saw some sloppy play early in 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.800 the game that fourth inning. You saw Porez kind of 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.200 lose the you know, control of the ball out in 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.919 center field, Dalton rushing whiffs on a you know, trying 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.160 to frame a low split finger, and that's how the 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.520 the Yankees score their run on you know, an error 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.000 and a wild pitch. You and I, I guess more 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.880 of a passball. You and I talking to each other 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.200 in that moment, being like. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.480 Send everybody, everyone to the moon. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.480 What's going on with these assholes, and then they go 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.560 and clean it up in the eighth inning with a 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.840 dazzling play. Uh, you know, not the best of throws 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.400 from Andy Poez. You know, it's up up the line 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.480 a little bit. I guess we could say from centerfield, 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.079 Mookie ranges to his right. Of course, I guess at 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.639 that point catching the ball to his left. The former 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.760 outfielder makes a really nice play. Now as an infielder, 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.280 you know, running to his momentum, going to his right, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.360 trying to get the baseball over there to rushing rushing 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.239 reaches out makes a hell of a play, which is 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.520 a tough play with a catcher's mitt. That was a 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.800 very difficult play with the catchers crossing for nothing. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.560 Not for nothing. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.280 They called it an out on the field and I 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.200 was sitting there and I was like, oh gosh, oh gosh, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.320 oh gosh, is it going to be that like not 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.320 enough evidence to overturn it. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:19.880 But it ended up being okay. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.919 I mean, there's so many things I want to talk about, 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.280 and you're so good at like putting them in order. 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.400 I'm just like, well, I want to talk about all 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.960 of the things, but I do want to I do 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.720 want to say something that kind of stood out to 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.680 me for what you just said. And I was watching 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.040 the game with my husband, and all of a sudden, Chris, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.360 my husband was like, Roki throws a hundred. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.440 He hit a hundred tonight, right. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.680 I was like, I guess, like, so, all of a sudden, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.400 Roki Sasaki is throwing a hundred miles an hour. I mean, like, 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.280 if Chris notices it, obviously a guy that's been the 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.280 big leagues for fourteen years, like fully vested, I think 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:55.120 he's pretty cool. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.600 He's like, Rokie throws a hundred. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.600 I'm like, apparently he was sitting at one hundred miles 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.520 an hour with the fastball, like and and e I 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:09.200 g ee slash e y e uh in the in 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.480 the chat said the same. So that was that was 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.920 an interesting observation as well. I didn't realize Roki had 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:15.960 that kind of gas. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.200 Yeah, I mean, that's that's one of the things. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.360 You know, obviously we're going to talk a little bit 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.480 more Roki later on, but that's the thing that we 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:29.040 were anticipating with that signing, Roki having gas, having that 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.599 one hundred miles an hour, you know, not the not 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.000 the stuff people are dealing with with Taco Bell right 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.279 now at the bare middle of not a sponsor. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.720 Yeah, the lettuce, the explosive the explosive diarrhea, that is 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:41.440 Taco Bell. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:42.960 But you know what, everybody's been doing that. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.720 Taco Bell has been doing that stuff for thirty years. 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.600 Why is it any different right now? Just now they're 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:48.760 just blaming it on the Lettuce. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.039 I mean every time we. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.640 Put explosive diarrhea in the comments below, twenty one times 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.920 did Roki Sasaki throw a fastball one hundred miles per 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:58.640 hour or faster? 0:04:58.720 --> 0:04:59.919 That is a Dodger. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:06.239 There's single game record passing everybody's favorite Robert Miller, Bobby 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.360 Miller by one pitch. He through twenty and I guess 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.720 it would have been twenty twenty three, whatever that was. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.159 But back to the. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.000 Offensive side of things or I guess we haven't really 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.320 got into that. We're talking about how I guess they 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.680 sort of saved Alex Vesia's bacon there in the eighth 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.840 inning to to keep the game from being tied, to 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.359 keep the Yankees from tying it up, and then the offense, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.360 you know, gets going late. It was I wouldn't say 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.280 frustrating against Garrett Cole like he was carving them up. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.000 This is a guy who was still an ace, you know, 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:42.400 coming off the hole. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.000 Like. I don't ever, I don't ever like fault the offense. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.239 I mean, Garrett Cole is a is a bona fide ace. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.120 I mean, I don't ever be like, oh my god, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.360 I don't ever like, oh my gosh, what are they doing? 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:53.880 It's Garrett. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.039 I mean, Garrett Cole is the real deal, right, But 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.640 I appreciate the fact that Maximnth's. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.160 Was able to do what he did. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.599 And what I love about the whole situation is Aaron 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.800 Boone comes out, talks to Garrett Cole. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.240 Garrett Cole convinces Aaron Boone to. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.680 Stay in, which is what you want to do, right, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.080 That's what you want from your veteran ace. I don't 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.159 fault Garrett Cole for wanting to stay in the game. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.440 I love the competitive nature. I do not fault Aaron 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.320 Boone for letting him stay in. That's Garrett Cole, he 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.159 has the resume. Boone respects his ace and it just 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.000 didn't go the Yankees way, and it was it worked 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.279 out great for the Dodgers, But that's exactly how you 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.760 would expect it to go between an ace and a manager, 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.160 and it just didn't work out for the Yankees the 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.680 way that it worked out for us, and it was 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:41.720 a beautiful thing. 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.760 Two to one. You love the pitching duel. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.200 You know, if I would have, like if you and 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.640 I and Katie would have talked about this, if you 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.159 have a two to one game with Garrett Cole going 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.280 up against Roki Sasaki, who's had his struggles, and the 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.960 Dodgers end up winning the game, I will take that 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.520 any day of the week because you don't know what 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.800 you're going to get from Roki Sasaki, and you would 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.440 assume if Garrett Cole is on the hill, Oh my goodness. Right, 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.440 So this was this was a good game. This was 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.520 a good game all around. I'm proud of them. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.240 It was. It was awesome. I will take it. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.600 I mean, honestly, the only run that the Yankee scored 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.960 was because of an error by Pa has in the outfield. 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.840 Obviously it was a it was a double with an 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.520 error that allowed them to get to third base. And 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.160 then it was a pass ball by Dalton Rushing. That 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.000 was the only run that the Yankee scored. So what 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.760 a great game in terms of a pitching game and 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.600 relatively a well played game. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:47.160 Yeah again, outside of just that particular moment, good you know, 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.560 good baseball. Two teams sending one team sending their ace 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.120 out Roki uh finding a way to kind of match him. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.320 I really want to get into the Monsy stuff there 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.240 because it's just such an interesting sequence, and we are 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.960 going to make a Max Months Today's Daily Dinger pick 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.280 with fan shout out Fan Duel for being a sponsor 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:10.240 here on the show. But yeah, you know, one hundred. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.239 It was one hundred and third pitch of the game 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.680 for Garret Cole. He a season high hadn't thrown. He 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.840 was at ninety six when he had that conversation with 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:22.960 Aaron Boone, and I did not expect, you know, Aaron 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:23.920 Boone to let him stay. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:24.880 I understand the why. 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.640 I think Garret Cole had a lot on his mind 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.600 because the last time he faced the Dodgers, this was 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.480 for him only what ten starts ago that he faced 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.520 the Dodgers because he had the elcause. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.840 Of the the il situation. 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.000 And again I don't I don't blame I don't blame 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.440 Aaron Boone at all for letting Garrett Cole stay in. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.240 I mean this was like, you know, if this. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.680 Was Schmidt or Schlitler or anybody else, like you're like, no, 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.000 you're out, But it's it's Garrett freaking Cole, Like you're 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.400 letting him stay in, right, So I completely understand the move. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.520 But again, he had only thrown ninety seven pitches. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.520 I believe that that was his season high. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.000 I apologize, okay, ninety six to ninety seven coming off 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.840 of you know, the the the surgery and all of 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.760 the things, and he convinced him to let him stay in. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:15.240 And then Maxwell's Steven Munsey take a bow, sir number 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.199 two and twenty seven in terms of home runs and 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:23.959 a Dodgery uniform, one behind Ron Say the Penguin, forty 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.600 three behind Eric Carross. You guys, it's it's pretty special 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.040 to have Max Munsey on this team.

Andy Pa has again the 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.360 passball by Dalton Rushing. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.040 I love it. I love this for Roki Susak. Why 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:38.839 are you laughing at me? 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:44.160 Carl in the chat says, Roki is no jokey. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.559 So funny. Oh look at look at show hey with decoy. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.079 Yeah, avatar, I love it. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.280 It is as inbigand as it can be. 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.439 As in bigod as it can be Okay, as. 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.679 In biggand Uh yeah, Actually I want to go back 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.360 to that screen there. Jy Kim had the two dollars 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.760 super check because were already talking earlier about the velocity 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.640 per inning one hundred point seven on the max velocity 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.800 one hundred point six ninety nine point nine, one hundred 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.000 ninety nine point seven ninety nine point eight and again 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.800 he threw twenty one pitches one hundred miles an hour 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:24.080 or faster Dodgers single game record he had fifteen? 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.240 Honest to god, like did we did we know this 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.640 about him in terms of the. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.040 Velocity like we've heard, though I'm not. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.960 Certain that I knew that he had one hundred plus. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:36.040 But what's different? 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.920 I think about this outing and you guys tell me 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:42.840 if I'm wrong, which I'm usually am wrong. We has 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.360 he had the velocity and the pinpoint location like he 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:46.960 did tonight. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.239 That's what I don't feel like we've. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.080 Seen bit of I think, what were we talking about this? 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.040 Where I had the stupid golf Maybe that wasn't with you, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:57.840 That was with Jeff Spiegel over the weekend. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.240 The golf swing analogy. You don't you don't know all 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.040 you people on the internet look the same. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.960 The funny thing is I very seldom look at any 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.839 of you. I am looking at my camera because I'm 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:08.720 a damn good anchor. 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.199 You because you love yourself. 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.439 I don't see myself in the camera. Also, I see 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.319 as an instant three sixty, I see a green light, 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.599 I see a lens. I see my door open behind. Yeah, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.120 I like, I have to look over here. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.439 That is that is different than that? 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:23.880 And I look over here. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.040 That I not. I did not know that Roki had 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.800 one hundred plus stuff with with accuracy and location. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.480 I didn't know that. I didn't know that about him. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:33.679 I can't understand you. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.920 I can understand you not knowing it because we haven't 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.280 seen it at the Big League. You weren't tasked with scout, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.280 you know, scouting him from his you know Japan League days. 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.079 That's not your it's not your bag man, you. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.160 Know im system. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:48.679 Let alone. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.480 What Roky is doing is you're just here. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.800 You're here for the vibes, bro here for the vibes 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.400 in good time and to help us navigate the ship here. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.480 But yeah, great game. And and the question is like, 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.280 what was different tonight? You know you said at the 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.800 top of the show you could have the argument that 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.880 this was his best start in a Dodgers uniform. There 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:12.160 are other there are other pitching lines that are definitely sexier. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.200 Both of those, however, came against the Angels, which, yes, 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.679 they are considered a big league squad, but they are 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.320 far from it. This is the Yankees, and the Yanks, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.360 of course, have had their struggles. They don't have Aaron 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.800 Judge in the lineup, so on and so forth. It's 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.960 still the New York Yankees. It's still at Yankee Stadium, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.840 where anything could fly out for a dude who has been, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.680 you know, not exceptionally homer prone, but homer prone enough 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.600 to give up some homers. Yeah, a great game. Uh, 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.080 what is it again? He had five and five and 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.040 two thirds, No earned. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:45.520 The five k's. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.280 Understanding how important this game was for him, and and 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.040 you know, kind of continuing the the good feelings that 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.040 he had in his delivery, in his mechanics that he 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.760 found during that most recent start for him against the Rockies, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.040 you know, about a week ago. So again, back to 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.320 the question, like, what was the difference tonight they were 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.160 talking about on the broadcast conviction. It looked like he 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.840 was throwing everything with intent, had something behind it. They 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.920 were talking also on the broadcast about him, you know, 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.200 kind of grunting and all of that he was letting. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.400 Yeah, oh, I love that, like the like the Maria 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.680 Sharapova grunt and there, and like the Rich Hill grunt 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.560 and the screaming and all of those things. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:30.600 I love that about him. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.720 And again I love the velocity, but I also love 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.360 the fact that it's he's throwing one hundred plus miles 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.760 an hour and he's able to locate. As much as 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.920 I love Roki Sasaki, you know what I was equally 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.480 as impressed with, is Jack Dryer come out of the bullpen. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:48.840 Yeah, so obviously what a job by Rokie. Leaves a 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.440 little bit of a mess for Dryer there two on 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.240 two out. Jack Dryer comes in, gets his guy who 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.000 he faced, I think Dominga is there, the switch hitter. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:57.720 Going to the left hand. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:58.840 Yeah, what does he called them? 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.960 The Martian Yeah, it's his guys. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.840 And then then he chips in, you know, a clean 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.480 seventh inning, two punches on the day for Dack Dryer, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.920 who has been one of those guys a little bit 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.480 up and down early, has been pretty damn solid of late. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.480 And then you know, from that point you bridge the 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.000 gap eighth and ninth inning. And you know where Dave 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:20.800 is going right now, Dave is going to go to 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.040 if everybody is happy and healthy and ready to go, 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.640 he is going to go to Alex Bessi and he's 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:27.760 going to go to Tanner Scott. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.800 And you know what they did. They did their jobs. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.920 Of course, Vesia did his job in part thanks to 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.280 a nice play there from Pahz to Muki to Freddy. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.240 Just yeah, again, fun game. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.160 You would want to see a little bit more offense 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.800 or just something more out of the Dodgers, But considering 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:50.240 it was Garrett Cole, I'm I'm happy to give us. Listen, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.560 they end a losing streak. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.520 But honestly, honestly, this is the playoffs, though, these two 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.320 to one games, this is this is postseason baseball, right like, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.200 this is what you're expecting to be. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.920 You're not going to have a ten to nothing game. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.760 You're not going to have a tend to nothing game 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.920 like the Red Sox did against the Rays in the 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.440 first game of their doubleheader today, right like, you're going to. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.360 Expect tight games. 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.680 You're going to face every team's ace, You're going to 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.440 face their especially in a five game series. Obviously you're 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.560 going to face the best three pitchers they have, so 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:25.000 this is this was good to see. This was a 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.680 good This was a good first game out of the 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.480 gate against the Yankees. Everyone's kind of circling this because 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.520 of you know, obviously, this is the first time they've 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.960 been back since Game five of the World Series in 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.800 twenty twenty four, when the Yankees defensively fundamentally shit the bed. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.120 It is what it is. I'm sorry, it is what 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.720 it is. It's the best bumper sticker or the best 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.840 T shirt, it's the fifth inname. You know, it's it's 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.880 it's great and I'm I'm I'm psyched, and I'm psyched 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.040 for Roki Sasaki JJK won a one super toch you 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:56.360 do allays. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.800 We appreciate you. He threw one on one miles prow 0:16:58.960 --> 0:16:59.320 and his. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:00.320 In high school school. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.480 Yeah, yeah, and one hundred and two and a half 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.199 in the Yeah. The Nippon Professional Baseball. Okay, great, but 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.480 I haven't seen that in the major leagues, and I 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.800 haven't seen it with location so great. I love that 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.840 you might be able to throw one hundred and twenty 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.760 seven miles an hour if you can't throw it in 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.560 the strike zone and you can't throw it for a strike. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.679 I don't I don't care. And today I feel like 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.560 he brought it all together. 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.119 And it's nice to see and that the fast splitter 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.480 to the hard splitter, like the low nineties splitter, not 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.080 the forkball that looked. I mean, that's that's part of 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.760 why Rushing kind of muffed that one. You know, his 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.720 past ball what was gross. Yeah, I mean he's still 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.560 he's trying to frame that pitch at the bottom of 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.480 the zone. And you know, we know Rushing has his 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.560 his still has some growth ahead of him when it 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:48.800 comes to his defensive game. 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.440 But add in some filth from that pig. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.480 Here's here's a comment about Rushing having some growth in 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:56.880 his game. 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.720 He better get. I mean, there's no. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.920 Time like the present, because they just made an announcement 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.000 that Will Smith isn't coming back anytime soon. We're lucky 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.840 if if Will Smith is back in a month, maybe 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:09.720 a month and a half. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.320 I mean, that's that that's that's a huge deal. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:16.800 So Dalton Rushing is the starting catcher of your Los 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:21.000 Angeles Dodgers, So there is no time like the present 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.000 to grow the f up and he's going to and 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.760 I have no doubt that he will, but like this 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:32.240 is he's gonna be thrown to the wolves, and that's okay, 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.760 like okay, but this is it like it's it's gonna 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.760 be great. It's gonna be great, Dalton Rushing, It's gonna 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.439 be great. But Will Smith is still having issues with 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.800 his neck. God only knows when he's gonna come back. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.280 So if there's anything that the Dodgers are probably in 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.679 my estimation, going to be really looking for at the 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.679 trade deadline because they're getting some major pieces back that 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.600 are already on their roster. But if they're looking to add, 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.960 it's going to be catching depth. I don't know what 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.760 that looks like. I don't know who it is, but 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.480 Dalton Russian is gonna need a severe backup that has 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:09.840 postseason experience. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:11.520 Yeah, the operative word there is depth. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.840 It doesn't necessarily mean the guaranteed game one catcher or 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.600 the number one catcher for sure, but somebody that is 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.160 a little more games seasoned. If there is the break 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.240
