Speaker 1: Has he had the velocity and the pinpoint location like
Speaker 1: he did tonight.
Speaker 2: That's what I don't feel like we've seen.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to this live edition of Dodgers
Speaker 1: Territory postgame on this July seventeenth, Happy Friday. Everybody, If
Speaker 1: you are with us, that says a lot about you.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what it says, but it says a lot.
Speaker 1: We are cited Alanaizzo, Clint Pissius, obviously. Katie Wu is
Speaker 1: currently in the Dodgers clubhouse right now after a good,
Speaker 1: hard fought win against the New York Yankees in game
Speaker 1: one of a three game set to get started in
Speaker 1: terms of the second half of the season. Show your
Speaker 1: thoughts about this game in the live chat. We want
Speaker 1: to know what you guys think. Let's get into this one.
Speaker 1: The second half kicked off in New York against the
Speaker 1: New York Yankee. Is the first time, guys, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: have been to Yankee Stadium since Game five. We all
Speaker 1: remember it twenty four World Series.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk Roky Sasaki.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a lot of things, and I have
Speaker 1: to say, Clint Roki Sasaki was pretty good in this game.
Speaker 1: The story is not Roki Sasaki. It's what happened in
Speaker 1: terms of him defensively around him and Max Funky Monsy.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, sir, Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 3: We could dive into a lot of different little things
Speaker 3: to talk about with this game. I appreciate that Roki
Speaker 3: is not the storyline of this game, because well, there's
Speaker 3: two ways. You can either be the good storyline because
Speaker 3: you pitched a no hitter or something like that, or
Speaker 3: you could be a bad storyline. We've had a little
Speaker 3: bit too much of with Roki this season. But he was,
Speaker 3: you said, like, kind of low key.
Speaker 4: Great. We'll talk about him.
Speaker 3: A little bit later. We'll get the negative stuff out
Speaker 3: of the way. You saw some sloppy play early in
Speaker 3: the game that fourth inning. You saw Porez kind of
Speaker 3: lose the you know, control of the ball out in
Speaker 3: center field, Dalton rushing whiffs on a you know, trying
Speaker 3: to frame a low split finger, and that's how the
Speaker 3: the Yankees score their run on you know, an error
Speaker 3: and a wild pitch. You and I, I guess more
Speaker 3: of a passball. You and I talking to each other
Speaker 3: in that moment, being like.
Speaker 4: Send everybody, everyone to the moon.
Speaker 3: What's going on with these assholes, and then they go
Speaker 3: and clean it up in the eighth inning with a
Speaker 3: dazzling play. Uh, you know, not the best of throws
Speaker 3: from Andy Poez. You know, it's up up the line
Speaker 3: a little bit. I guess we could say from centerfield,
Speaker 3: Mookie ranges to his right. Of course, I guess at
Speaker 3: that point catching the ball to his left. The former
Speaker 3: outfielder makes a really nice play. Now as an infielder,
Speaker 3: you know, running to his momentum, going to his right,
Speaker 3: trying to get the baseball over there to rushing rushing
Speaker 3: reaches out makes a hell of a play, which is
Speaker 3: a tough play with a catcher's mitt. That was a
Speaker 3: very difficult play with the catchers crossing for nothing.
Speaker 2: Not for nothing.
Speaker 1: They called it an out on the field and I
Speaker 1: was sitting there and I was like, oh gosh, oh gosh,
Speaker 1: oh gosh, is it going to be that like not
Speaker 1: enough evidence to overturn it.
Speaker 2: But it ended up being okay.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many things I want to talk about,
Speaker 1: and you're so good at like putting them in order.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, well, I want to talk about all
Speaker 1: of the things, but I do want to I do
Speaker 1: want to say something that kind of stood out to
Speaker 1: me for what you just said. And I was watching
Speaker 1: the game with my husband, and all of a sudden, Chris,
Speaker 1: my husband was like, Roki throws a hundred.
Speaker 2: He hit a hundred tonight, right.
Speaker 1: I was like, I guess, like, so, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki is throwing a hundred miles an hour. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: if Chris notices it, obviously a guy that's been the
Speaker 1: big leagues for fourteen years, like fully vested, I think
Speaker 1: he's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: He's like, Rokie throws a hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm like, apparently he was sitting at one hundred miles
Speaker 1: an hour with the fastball, like and and e I
Speaker 1: g ee slash e y e uh in the in
Speaker 1: the chat said the same. So that was that was
Speaker 1: an interesting observation as well. I didn't realize Roki had
Speaker 1: that kind of gas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's that's one of the things.
Speaker 3: You know, obviously we're going to talk a little bit
Speaker 3: more Roki later on, but that's the thing that we
Speaker 3: were anticipating with that signing, Roki having gas, having that
Speaker 3: one hundred miles an hour, you know, not the not
Speaker 3: the stuff people are dealing with with Taco Bell right
Speaker 3: now at the bare middle of not a sponsor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the lettuce, the explosive the explosive diarrhea, that is
Speaker 2: Taco Bell.
Speaker 4: But you know what, everybody's been doing that.
Speaker 1: Taco Bell has been doing that stuff for thirty years.
Speaker 1: Why is it any different right now? Just now they're
Speaker 1: just blaming it on the Lettuce.
Speaker 2: I mean every time we.
Speaker 3: Put explosive diarrhea in the comments below, twenty one times
Speaker 3: did Roki Sasaki throw a fastball one hundred miles per
Speaker 3: hour or faster?
Speaker 4: That is a Dodger.
Speaker 3: There's single game record passing everybody's favorite Robert Miller, Bobby
Speaker 3: Miller by one pitch. He through twenty and I guess
Speaker 3: it would have been twenty twenty three, whatever that was.
Speaker 4: But back to the.
Speaker 3: Offensive side of things or I guess we haven't really
Speaker 3: got into that. We're talking about how I guess they
Speaker 3: sort of saved Alex Vesia's bacon there in the eighth
Speaker 3: inning to to keep the game from being tied, to
Speaker 3: keep the Yankees from tying it up, and then the offense,
Speaker 3: you know, gets going late. It was I wouldn't say
Speaker 3: frustrating against Garrett Cole like he was carving them up.
Speaker 3: This is a guy who was still an ace, you know,
Speaker 3: coming off the hole.
Speaker 1: Like. I don't ever, I don't ever like fault the offense.
Speaker 1: I mean, Garrett Cole is a is a bona fide ace.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't ever be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I don't ever like, oh my gosh, what are they doing?
Speaker 2: It's Garrett.
Speaker 1: I mean, Garrett Cole is the real deal, right, But
Speaker 1: I appreciate the fact that Maximnth's.
Speaker 2: Was able to do what he did.
Speaker 1: And what I love about the whole situation is Aaron
Speaker 1: Boone comes out, talks to Garrett Cole.
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole convinces Aaron Boone to.
Speaker 1: Stay in, which is what you want to do, right,
Speaker 1: That's what you want from your veteran ace. I don't
Speaker 1: fault Garrett Cole for wanting to stay in the game.
Speaker 1: I love the competitive nature. I do not fault Aaron
Speaker 1: Boone for letting him stay in. That's Garrett Cole, he
Speaker 1: has the resume. Boone respects his ace and it just
Speaker 1: didn't go the Yankees way, and it was it worked
Speaker 1: out great for the Dodgers, But that's exactly how you
Speaker 1: would expect it to go between an ace and a manager,
Speaker 1: and it just didn't work out for the Yankees the
Speaker 1: way that it worked out for us, and it was
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2: Two to one. You love the pitching duel.
Speaker 1: You know, if I would have, like if you and
Speaker 1: I and Katie would have talked about this, if you
Speaker 1: have a two to one game with Garrett Cole going
Speaker 1: up against Roki Sasaki, who's had his struggles, and the
Speaker 1: Dodgers end up winning the game, I will take that
Speaker 1: any day of the week because you don't know what
Speaker 1: you're going to get from Roki Sasaki, and you would
Speaker 1: assume if Garrett Cole is on the hill, Oh my goodness. Right,
Speaker 1: So this was this was a good game. This was
Speaker 1: a good game all around. I'm proud of them.
Speaker 2: It was. It was awesome. I will take it.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, the only run that the Yankee scored
Speaker 1: was because of an error by Pa has in the outfield.
Speaker 1: Obviously it was a it was a double with an
Speaker 1: error that allowed them to get to third base. And
Speaker 1: then it was a pass ball by Dalton Rushing. That
Speaker 1: was the only run that the Yankee scored. So what
Speaker 1: a great game in terms of a pitching game and
Speaker 1: relatively a well played game.
Speaker 3: Yeah again, outside of just that particular moment, good you know,
Speaker 3: good baseball. Two teams sending one team sending their ace
Speaker 3: out Roki uh finding a way to kind of match him.
Speaker 3: I really want to get into the Monsy stuff there
Speaker 3: because it's just such an interesting sequence, and we are
Speaker 3: going to make a Max Months Today's Daily Dinger pick
Speaker 3: with fan shout out Fan Duel for being a sponsor
Speaker 3: here on the show. But yeah, you know, one hundred.
Speaker 3: It was one hundred and third pitch of the game
Speaker 3: for Garret Cole. He a season high hadn't thrown. He
Speaker 3: was at ninety six when he had that conversation with
Speaker 3: Aaron Boone, and I did not expect, you know, Aaron
Speaker 3: Boone to let him stay.
Speaker 4: I understand the why.
Speaker 3: I think Garret Cole had a lot on his mind
Speaker 3: because the last time he faced the Dodgers, this was
Speaker 3: for him only what ten starts ago that he faced
Speaker 3: the Dodgers because he had the elcause.
Speaker 2: Of the the il situation.
Speaker 1: And again I don't I don't blame I don't blame
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone at all for letting Garrett Cole stay in.
Speaker 2: I mean this was like, you know, if this.
Speaker 1: Was Schmidt or Schlitler or anybody else, like you're like, no,
Speaker 1: you're out, But it's it's Garrett freaking Cole, Like you're
Speaker 1: letting him stay in, right, So I completely understand the move.
Speaker 1: But again, he had only thrown ninety seven pitches.
Speaker 2: I believe that that was his season high.
Speaker 1: I apologize, okay, ninety six to ninety seven coming off
Speaker 1: of you know, the the the surgery and all of
Speaker 1: the things, and he convinced him to let him stay in.
Speaker 1: And then Maxwell's Steven Munsey take a bow, sir number
Speaker 1: two and twenty seven in terms of home runs and
Speaker 1: a Dodgery uniform, one behind Ron Say the Penguin, forty
Speaker 1: three behind Eric Carross. You guys, it's it's pretty special
Speaker 1: to have Max Munsey on this team. It's also pretty
Speaker 1: special to have FanDuel as a part of our show.

Speaker 1: We don't want you to have that, so caller text
Speaker 1: one eight hundred gambler. All right, let's talk about Roki Sisaki.
Speaker 1: Great outing, great great outing from Sasaki today, right, like again,
Speaker 1: the one run from the Yankees was an unearned run
Speaker 1: because of some sloppy defense. Andy Pa has again the
Speaker 1: passball by Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love this for Roki Susak. Why
Speaker 2: are you laughing at me?
Speaker 3: Carl in the chat says, Roki is no jokey.
Speaker 1: So funny. Oh look at look at show hey with decoy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, avatar, I love it.
Speaker 4: It is as inbigand as it can be.
Speaker 2: As in bigod as it can be Okay, as.
Speaker 3: In biggand Uh yeah, Actually I want to go back
Speaker 3: to that screen there. Jy Kim had the two dollars
Speaker 3: super check because were already talking earlier about the velocity
Speaker 3: per inning one hundred point seven on the max velocity
Speaker 3: one hundred point six ninety nine point nine, one hundred
Speaker 3: ninety nine point seven ninety nine point eight and again
Speaker 3: he threw twenty one pitches one hundred miles an hour
Speaker 3: or faster Dodgers single game record he had fifteen?
Speaker 1: Honest to god, like did we did we know this
Speaker 1: about him in terms of the.
Speaker 2: Velocity like we've heard, though I'm not.
Speaker 1: Certain that I knew that he had one hundred plus.
Speaker 2: But what's different?
Speaker 1: I think about this outing and you guys tell me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, which I'm usually am wrong. We has
Speaker 1: he had the velocity and the pinpoint location like he
Speaker 1: did tonight.
Speaker 2: That's what I don't feel like we've.
Speaker 4: Seen bit of I think, what were we talking about this?
Speaker 3: Where I had the stupid golf Maybe that wasn't with you,
Speaker 3: That was with Jeff Spiegel over the weekend.
Speaker 4: The golf swing analogy. You don't you don't know all
Speaker 4: you people on the internet look the same.
Speaker 3: The funny thing is I very seldom look at any
Speaker 3: of you. I am looking at my camera because I'm
Speaker 3: a damn good anchor.
Speaker 2: You because you love yourself.
Speaker 3: I don't see myself in the camera. Also, I see
Speaker 3: as an instant three sixty, I see a green light,
Speaker 3: I see a lens. I see my door open behind. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I like, I have to look over here.
Speaker 2: That is that is different than that?
Speaker 4: And I look over here.
Speaker 1: That I not. I did not know that Roki had
Speaker 1: one hundred plus stuff with with accuracy and location.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I didn't know that about him.
Speaker 4: I can't understand you.
Speaker 3: I can understand you not knowing it because we haven't
Speaker 3: seen it at the Big League. You weren't tasked with scout,
Speaker 3: you know, scouting him from his you know Japan League days.
Speaker 4: That's not your it's not your bag man, you.
Speaker 2: Know im system.
Speaker 4: Let alone.
Speaker 2: What Roky is doing is you're just here.
Speaker 3: You're here for the vibes, bro here for the vibes
Speaker 3: in good time and to help us navigate the ship here.
Speaker 3: But yeah, great game. And and the question is like,
Speaker 3: what was different tonight? You know you said at the
Speaker 3: top of the show you could have the argument that
Speaker 3: this was his best start in a Dodgers uniform. There
Speaker 3: are other there are other pitching lines that are definitely sexier.
Speaker 3: Both of those, however, came against the Angels, which, yes,
Speaker 3: they are considered a big league squad, but they are
Speaker 3: far from it. This is the Yankees, and the Yanks,
Speaker 3: of course, have had their struggles. They don't have Aaron
Speaker 3: Judge in the lineup, so on and so forth. It's
Speaker 3: still the New York Yankees. It's still at Yankee Stadium,
Speaker 3: where anything could fly out for a dude who has been,
Speaker 3: you know, not exceptionally homer prone, but homer prone enough
Speaker 3: to give up some homers. Yeah, a great game. Uh,
Speaker 3: what is it again? He had five and five and
Speaker 3: two thirds, No earned.
Speaker 4: The five k's.
Speaker 3: Understanding how important this game was for him, and and
Speaker 3: you know, kind of continuing the the good feelings that
Speaker 3: he had in his delivery, in his mechanics that he
Speaker 3: found during that most recent start for him against the Rockies,
Speaker 3: you know, about a week ago. So again, back to
Speaker 3: the question, like, what was the difference tonight they were
Speaker 3: talking about on the broadcast conviction. It looked like he
Speaker 3: was throwing everything with intent, had something behind it. They
Speaker 3: were talking also on the broadcast about him, you know,
Speaker 3: kind of grunting and all of that he was letting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I love that, like the like the Maria
Speaker 1: Sharapova grunt and there, and like the Rich Hill grunt
Speaker 1: and the screaming and all of those things.
Speaker 2: I love that about him.
Speaker 1: And again I love the velocity, but I also love
Speaker 1: the fact that it's he's throwing one hundred plus miles
Speaker 1: an hour and he's able to locate. As much as
Speaker 1: I love Roki Sasaki, you know what I was equally
Speaker 1: as impressed with, is Jack Dryer come out of the bullpen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so obviously what a job by Rokie. Leaves a
Speaker 3: little bit of a mess for Dryer there two on
Speaker 3: two out. Jack Dryer comes in, gets his guy who
Speaker 3: he faced, I think Dominga is there, the switch hitter.
Speaker 4: Going to the left hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does he called them?
Speaker 4: The Martian Yeah, it's his guys.
Speaker 3: And then then he chips in, you know, a clean
Speaker 3: seventh inning, two punches on the day for Dack Dryer,
Speaker 3: who has been one of those guys a little bit
Speaker 3: up and down early, has been pretty damn solid of late.
Speaker 3: And then you know, from that point you bridge the
Speaker 3: gap eighth and ninth inning. And you know where Dave
Speaker 3: is going right now, Dave is going to go to
Speaker 3: if everybody is happy and healthy and ready to go,
Speaker 3: he is going to go to Alex Bessi and he's
Speaker 3: going to go to Tanner Scott.
Speaker 4: And you know what they did. They did their jobs.
Speaker 3: Of course, Vesia did his job in part thanks to
Speaker 3: a nice play there from Pahz to Muki to Freddy.
Speaker 4: Just yeah, again, fun game.
Speaker 3: You would want to see a little bit more offense
Speaker 3: or just something more out of the Dodgers, But considering
Speaker 3: it was Garrett Cole, I'm I'm happy to give us. Listen,
Speaker 3: they end a losing streak.
Speaker 1: But honestly, honestly, this is the playoffs, though, these two
Speaker 1: to one games, this is this is postseason baseball, right like,
Speaker 1: this is what you're expecting to be.
Speaker 2: You're not going to have a ten to nothing game.
Speaker 1: You're not going to have a tend to nothing game
Speaker 1: like the Red Sox did against the Rays in the
Speaker 1: first game of their doubleheader today, right like, you're going to.
Speaker 2: Expect tight games.
Speaker 1: You're going to face every team's ace, You're going to
Speaker 1: face their especially in a five game series. Obviously you're
Speaker 1: going to face the best three pitchers they have, so
Speaker 1: this is this was good to see. This was a
Speaker 1: good This was a good first game out of the
Speaker 1: gate against the Yankees. Everyone's kind of circling this because
Speaker 1: of you know, obviously, this is the first time they've
Speaker 1: been back since Game five of the World Series in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, when the Yankees defensively fundamentally shit the bed.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. I'm sorry, it is what
Speaker 1: it is. It's the best bumper sticker or the best
Speaker 1: T shirt, it's the fifth inname. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's great and I'm I'm I'm psyched, and I'm psyched
Speaker 1: for Roki Sasaki JJK won a one super toch you
Speaker 1: do allays.
Speaker 2: We appreciate you. He threw one on one miles prow
Speaker 2: and his.
Speaker 4: In high school school.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and one hundred and two and a half
Speaker 1: in the Yeah. The Nippon Professional Baseball. Okay, great, but
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that in the major leagues, and I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it with location so great. I love that
Speaker 1: you might be able to throw one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: seven miles an hour if you can't throw it in
Speaker 1: the strike zone and you can't throw it for a strike.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't care. And today I feel like
Speaker 2: he brought it all together.
Speaker 3: And it's nice to see and that the fast splitter
Speaker 3: to the hard splitter, like the low nineties splitter, not
Speaker 3: the forkball that looked. I mean, that's that's part of
Speaker 3: why Rushing kind of muffed that one. You know, his
Speaker 3: past ball what was gross. Yeah, I mean he's still
Speaker 3: he's trying to frame that pitch at the bottom of
Speaker 3: the zone. And you know, we know Rushing has his
Speaker 3: his still has some growth ahead of him when it
Speaker 3: comes to his defensive game.
Speaker 4: But add in some filth from that pig.
Speaker 1: Here's here's a comment about Rushing having some growth in
Speaker 1: his game.
Speaker 2: He better get. I mean, there's no.
Speaker 1: Time like the present, because they just made an announcement
Speaker 1: that Will Smith isn't coming back anytime soon. We're lucky
Speaker 1: if if Will Smith is back in a month, maybe
Speaker 1: a month and a half.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that that's that's a huge deal.
Speaker 1: So Dalton Rushing is the starting catcher of your Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers, So there is no time like the present
Speaker 1: to grow the f up and he's going to and
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that he will, but like this
Speaker 1: is he's gonna be thrown to the wolves, and that's okay,
Speaker 1: like okay, but this is it like it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be great. It's gonna be great, Dalton Rushing, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be great. But Will Smith is still having issues with
Speaker 1: his neck. God only knows when he's gonna come back.
Speaker 1: So if there's anything that the Dodgers are probably in
Speaker 1: my estimation, going to be really looking for at the
Speaker 1: trade deadline because they're getting some major pieces back that
Speaker 1: are already on their roster. But if they're looking to add,
Speaker 1: it's going to be catching depth. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that looks like. I don't know who it is, but
Speaker 1: Dalton Russian is gonna need a severe backup that has
Speaker 1: postseason experience.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the operative word there is depth.
Speaker 3: It doesn't necessarily mean the guaranteed game one catcher or
Speaker 3: the number one catcher for sure, but somebody that is
Speaker 3: a little more games seasoned. If there is the break
Speaker 3: in case of emergency situation, and we do have more
Speaker 3: of all of the Will Smith updates, we'll talk about
Speaker 3: that in a second. But you've talked about a little bit.
Speaker 3: You know some of it's gonna be great. Jose A yala,
Speaker 3: y'alla have the five dollars super chat for us, saying, Alana,
Speaker 3: after Game five of the World Series, and you know
Speaker 3: everybody's down, Dodger, you said the Dodgers were gonna be fine.
Speaker 4: Haven't that positive?
Speaker 2: Still it's gol and be great. I told you it's gold,
Speaker 2: be great.
Speaker 3: And Baseball Dynasty says I once through one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty seven, but not in the.
Speaker 4: Zone, not in the American.
Speaker 2: Oh, Baseball Dynasty is to fifty seven. I love you, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I get it. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: My point is, it's great if you can throw a
Speaker 1: bazillion miles an hour, but if you don't know how
Speaker 1: to locate it, you don't know where the ball is
Speaker 1: going when it leaves your hand, that's a problem.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Right now?
Speaker 3: That's I probably got a solid like forty two in
Speaker 3: my shoulder.
Speaker 2: Really forty two, that's all.
Speaker 3: I got A bad I got a bad rotator cuff
Speaker 3: bad uclad buddy.
Speaker 2: I think we could send you to Neil Elastrush. I know,

Speaker 2: To your account. Thank you, see Geek. We appreciate you
Speaker 2: guys very very much for support the show.
Speaker 3: A little bit more, we had a butt ton of
Speaker 3: injury updates from Dave Roberts today, as you would expect
Speaker 3: coming off of an All Star break. We have to
Speaker 3: check in show. Hey, you mentioned Will Smith earlier in
Speaker 3: the show, Ki k Hernandez all of that kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: So we'll.
Speaker 4: Just kind of rapid fire some of this stuff. The
Speaker 4: show Hey O Tawny News.
Speaker 3: This one comes from Sonya Chan, who of course covers
Speaker 3: the Dodgers for the MLB dot Com. We found that
Speaker 3: his knee was not drained, that irritated left knee of
Speaker 3: his was not drained. Instead, they there is an injection
Speaker 3: in that left knee to kind of help increase some
Speaker 3: of the say, the bounce in there. It's not flubber.
Speaker 3: It's called orthovisc injection in that left knee to kind
Speaker 3: of help help with some of the cushion for the
Speaker 3: pushing or I guess really the landing for show Hey
Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, his pitching, that is
Speaker 3: his plant leg. They're still hoping Dave Roberts in the club,
Speaker 3: still hoping to have him start in Philly on Wednesday,
Speaker 3: that series finale, and then have him you know, go
Speaker 3: just before the off day, and you'll probably see that
Speaker 3: a lot more over the rest of this half of
Speaker 3: the season, second half of the season. I don't think
Speaker 3: we're going to see too much of show Hey pitching before.
Speaker 4: You know, like without a day off afterwards.
Speaker 3: Whether they could always align the schedule that way, it's
Speaker 3: of course it's going to be tough. You don't always
Speaker 3: get that kind of luxury. But we've talked about it
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of I don't care about Joey Atani
Speaker 3: winning a cy Young Award and all that. Just have
Speaker 3: him healthy and able to do both pitch and hit
Speaker 3: in the postseason.
Speaker 2: For I mean, I think the fact that he is.
Speaker 1: Possibly coming back to start on Wednesday in Philly is
Speaker 1: a pretty great prognosis. Right, Like, we weren't sure when
Speaker 1: we were going to see him back pitching, So the
Speaker 1: fact that he's probably coming back in a week and
Speaker 1: change is fine. I mean, having not drained the knee
Speaker 1: and just having that cortisone injection or whatever the injection was.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it was quarterzone but.
Speaker 1: Whatever it was, and giving him the time off and
Speaker 1: not having to you know, pitcher or hit at the
Speaker 1: All Star.
Speaker 2: Game is what is this? They injected him with hyrollonic acid. Okay,
Speaker 2: well I don't know what that is, but okay, but
Speaker 2: it's fine. I mean that that is what it is.
Speaker 1: When it's show hey Otani, everything is exacerbated, everything is
Speaker 1: a bigger deal.
Speaker 2: He should be fine.
Speaker 1: He's I mean, if he's he's good enough to be
Speaker 1: the DH and he's coming back to pitch on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: It can't be that big of a deal, all right,
Speaker 1: Will Smith, this is a little bit concerning to me.
Speaker 2: We just talked about it.
Speaker 1: And obviously Dalton Rushing is getting catapulted into the starting role.
Speaker 1: But Katie Wu, our girl, Will Smith will be fully
Speaker 1: shut down for a week before ramping back up.
Speaker 2: To baseball activity.
Speaker 1: So if you figure like a guy, especially a pitcher,
Speaker 1: more so, if a guy is not even doing baseball activity,
Speaker 1: you figure he's a month out.
Speaker 2: Not the same for catchers. I understand that.
Speaker 1: But mid August, guys, I mean that's it's basically a
Speaker 1: month from now. Right mid August looks like earliest possible
Speaker 1: return her Dave Roberts, Edwin Diaz will throw tonight and
Speaker 1: Sunday for Ontario. The tower Buzzers need a back to
Speaker 1: back before activation. So let's talk about Will Smith for
Speaker 1: a hot second. This is concerning to me. This is
Speaker 1: concerning to me, And because he's probably not coming back
Speaker 1: for at least a month, and God only knows what
Speaker 1: he's going to be like behind the plate, I'm not concerned,
Speaker 1: but more so at at the plate because of the
Speaker 1: timing and the rhythm My guess is the Dodgers, if
Speaker 1: they're doing anything at the trade deadline, they're going for catching.
Speaker 1: They have to be going for I even asked my husband,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you feel like I'm out of retirement.
Speaker 2: It's so anyway, I mean, does that feel are you?
Speaker 2: Are you in line with that? You think the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are looking for some catching depth at this point?
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 3: I think you need to be prepared for the worst
Speaker 3: case if you are a club that is in pursuit
Speaker 3: of a three peet. Dalton Rushing is fine in this
Speaker 3: capacity and can probably earn his way to being the
Speaker 3: you know, the one catcher in the postseason and should
Speaker 3: rightfully so if Will is not ready to come back,
Speaker 3: but to have somebody else in a worst case scenario,
Speaker 3: because you can't have you know, eliezer Alfonso being your
Speaker 3: postseason catcher. You're just straight up not gonna have a
Speaker 3: good time doing that. So you got to be in
Speaker 3: the market for some sort of veteran, whether it's a Victor,
Speaker 3: Karen Karattini, whether you know. I think Ryan Jeffers has
Speaker 3: kind of been sort of made available by the Twins.
Speaker 3: There are some options out there. Jeffers would be on
Speaker 3: the upper echelon of the available catchers. But still you
Speaker 3: need to be prepared because riz this started with oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're not gonna put him on the IL because he
Speaker 3: should just miss a day or two and everything is
Speaker 3: going to be great. To here we are, what near
Speaker 3: three months later, I forgot exactly when he went on
Speaker 3: the IL. We are months removed from that initial kind
Speaker 3: of uh, he's not being the lineup too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think now is another week and a month.
Speaker 2: Maybe I feel like it was. I mean, from beginning
Speaker 2: to end.
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be three months, but I feel like
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, he's fine too. We joked, and
Speaker 1: I understand it's not really funny, but we joked.
Speaker 2: It was like he's fine.
Speaker 1: He's been decapitated now, you know, and now and honest
Speaker 1: to goodness, like this.
Speaker 2: Is this is a little this is a little bit problematic.
Speaker 1: I mean, you want will Smith behind the plate in
Speaker 1: postseason games when not even just for the bat at
Speaker 1: the plate, you want him for the way that he
Speaker 1: can handle the pitching staff and just the experience. So
Speaker 1: they are going to absolutely have to find a veteran catcher.
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit if he gets a hit
Speaker 1: in a postseason game. I'm not worried about him offensively.
Speaker 1: I need a veteran catcher behind the plate that can
Speaker 1: manage a pitching staff.
Speaker 2: And I don't know who that is. I don't know
Speaker 2: who's available.
Speaker 1: But that, to me is something that Andrew Friedman and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers front halfe front office is going to have
Speaker 1: to go after.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing in the chat Ben Rohtvett, come on down, people,
Speaker 3: That ain't it. That ain't it If you're looking for
Speaker 3: somebody that is just a catch and throw guy that
Speaker 3: can call a pretty good game.
Speaker 1: That but but yes, that's fine, but that's not that's
Speaker 1: not the postseason catcher I'm looking for. Like I would take,
Speaker 1: I would take people at a retirement before I did that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: That's not the point. Nobody asked me who I would
Speaker 1: who I would sign? All Right, ki Y Hernandez beginning
Speaker 1: a rehabit single a Ontario.
Speaker 2: That's good news.
Speaker 3: Tonight baseball yay.
Speaker 1: And Blake Snell's starting for Ontario tomorrow. That is a
Speaker 1: good thing. Asanya Chen saying, Edwin Diaz is pitching tonight
Speaker 1: Sunday for Ontario.
Speaker 2: Will need to do a back to back we get that.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the back to back kyk Hernandez joining Okay,
Speaker 1: see for rehab assignment tonight.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell will start tomorrow. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Tyler Glasnow's bullpen progression is continuing. He's still fastball only.
Speaker 2: That's fine.
Speaker 1: That's usually how it goes, like fastball only before you
Speaker 1: go on your off speed stuff. So reinforcements are coming
Speaker 1: that that is the point. We've talked about this at length,
Speaker 1: at nauseum. It'll be more exciting when they're actually back.
Speaker 1: But again, I mean, the Dodgers are very fortuitous in
Speaker 1: their positioning. They're in a really good spot. They're getting
Speaker 1: reinforcements back. It's great. But I need we need catching Depp.
Speaker 1: I mean, with with the with the Will Smith news,
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing for me.
Speaker 2: We need some catching Depp.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I feel good.
Speaker 3: I feel good about the state of the pitching, better
Speaker 3: than I did a week ago. No one that's Nell
Speaker 3: is making a start with Ontario. I'm watching Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking he really has his eyes set on that
Speaker 3: met series. That's that's a week away.
Speaker 4: Is that too soon?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, tonight, We're doing this now it is on Friday.
Speaker 3: He's making his second or I think his third rehab appearance,
Speaker 3: and he's going he's gonna pitch Sunday and he's got
Speaker 3: to get it back to back in there. He could,
Speaker 3: he could, in theory come back, maybe not for Game
Speaker 3: one in that Met series, but you know he.
Speaker 1: Wants to Listen, Linda, the Mets stink and he wants
Speaker 1: to come back because they didn't think he was worthy
Speaker 1: enough of re signing him. Right, So I'm I'm telling
Speaker 1: you like that he's gonna be like even if he
Speaker 1: comes out and not even maybe it's not even a
Speaker 1: safe situation. Maybe he comes out just to get some
Speaker 1: work done because the Dodgers are so dominant and it's
Speaker 1: not even to say that. They're like they're up by
Speaker 1: like seven runs against the Mets. But he comes in
Speaker 1: to get the work.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it for him.
Speaker 4: They did.
Speaker 3: Dave kind of did make it seem like, you know,
Speaker 3: they are gonna give him some some run, some leash
Speaker 3: on this rehab assignment. So maybe you know a week
Speaker 3: is biting off more than he could chew. But listen,
Speaker 3: he feels good. He's been throwing. If he says he
Speaker 3: wants to come back and pitch.
Speaker 2: As long as he doesn't get hurt. I don't care.
Speaker 2: They have a twelve game lead right now.
Speaker 1: Let him come in and get and instead of another
Speaker 1: instead of three rehab outings or two back to backs,
Speaker 1: let them do back to back and come out and
Speaker 1: do it in a major league game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you passed over your gloss over the Key k
Speaker 3: Hernandez one, but I'm excited about Kik coming back. I
Speaker 3: think adding one more adult to that bench. With all
Speaker 3: due respect adults.
Speaker 1: Adult Canda is an adult of adult age.
Speaker 4: He's not a grown up, but he's he's you know.
Speaker 4: I think they need that. They need that the vibes,
Speaker 4: they need the energy.
Speaker 3: We always joke about the vibes of replacement that does
Speaker 3: something over the course of a long season. I think
Speaker 3: kek coming back makes a big difference. You're not seeing
Speaker 3: as much Alex Freeland these days.
Speaker 4: Anyways.
Speaker 3: Let that Let that that bench spot go to Key
Speaker 3: Ky Hernandez. Play some second play, some third base, give
Speaker 3: Munsey a bit of a blow when he needs it,
Speaker 3: Play some left play, some center. Keep those guys, your
Speaker 3: core sluggers healthy for the stretch run.
Speaker 4: That's what I love listen.
Speaker 2: I I you know, I love KK to death. It
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1: It's just like KIK to me, like, what's the point
Speaker 1: of talking about him on July seventeenth. We know he's
Speaker 1: coming back, it's gonna be fine, and it's not. And
Speaker 1: when it becomes September October, then like I will elevate
Speaker 1: my conversation about Kik hern is.
Speaker 2: That is who this guy is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there those are your updates, all positive things.
Speaker 3: Mostly the Will Smith stuff still sucks.
Speaker 4: But about it. We're gonna we're gonna get out of
Speaker 4: here now.
Speaker 3: We've got another two dollars from Baseball Dynasty saying for me.
Speaker 3: Travis Darnall, Yeah, he he, he's hurt.
Speaker 4: Dodger's legend. By the way, Travis darna he has hurt
Speaker 4: seven minutes.
Speaker 2: He was a Dodger's legend. He was.
Speaker 1: He was so excited because it's like they grew up.
Speaker 1: His dad was a massive Dodgers fan. He had one
Speaker 1: at bat and then they shipped him out.
Speaker 4: That's one.
Speaker 3: If the Angels are gonna sell, which my god, they
Speaker 3: need to. He's on their roster. I think he's been injured.
Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent certain. Jjk at another two
Speaker 3: bucks in the chest is called Ben Beck. Get Ben
Speaker 3: Rhtvett back, even if he's in the minor leagues. For
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, I'm comfortable giving that whoever they want, they
Speaker 3: could take a obviously I iest there, but that is
Speaker 3: it for tonight. I think we did all of the
Speaker 3: things we needed to do again, if you guys want
Speaker 3: more Dodgers talk, I'll be jumping over to my YouTube
