1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: One thing that I'm noticing is that the division a 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: week ago was way closer than it is right now. 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: The Dodgers are really opening up some distance, if you will, 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: in the NL West. What up, everybody? Welcome to the 5 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: Thursday edition of Dodgers Territory. That is Clint piscis I 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: am Alana Rizzo. We are psyched because we have an 7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: opportunity to sweep the sun Diego Padres this evening. They've 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: looked really good, Clint. So far, there's been seven games 9 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: between the two clubs. I believe the Dodgers have one 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: sixth of the seven. The one that they have not 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: won was that awful one eleven to nothing or eleven 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: to one where poor Matt Soer was left out to 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: dry and key Key Hernandez came in in the sixth. 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: That to me was that's, well, you know what, that's 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: a wash. This club, Clint Piscius, looks pretty dang good 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: against the Friars. What say you? 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: I cannot disagree. I feel pretty good about this baseball 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: team right now.

But without further ado, let's 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: get into the big ticket. Rizzy said it. Dodgers looking real, 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: real good. Em it Chian back from the dead, back 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: from the il also looking really really good in his 34 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five debut four innings, one earned run, six 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: k's no walks. Now you're feel in a little bit, 36 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Not to say you were worried about what Immachian was 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 2: gonna do, but do you feel good about my assessment 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: of him or whatever. 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: It's not so much a worry thing, it's just you 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: have no idea what you're going to get. I mean, 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: the man hasn't pitched in you really really long time. 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was an impressive return from his first 43 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: start back obviously off of TJ. Why is my hair 44 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: such a disaster today? Sorry for all of your folks 45 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: that actually have to look at me. No, I'm glad. 46 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. Like I just you just don't 47 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: know what you're going to get. But he did exactly 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: what he needed to do. He gave his team a 49 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: chance to win. It's a really good first outing, just 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully just a tune up for what's ahead. 51 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that was I agree with Philip Fountain. Welcome 52 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: to the chat, Philip. Shehen was a pleasant development. He 53 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: was he looked good. He looked good for where he 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: needed to be after Tommy John surgery. So I appreciate 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: the effort. I looked. I like the way he looked 56 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah. 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: Him looking good Right behind him piggybacked to perfection. Justin 58 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 2: Robleski in a in a relief role. I love Robo 59 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: and I've been talking about this now for at least 60 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: the entirety of the season. I would love to see 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: Robo be in that bullpen. He might be the perfect 62 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 2: bulk guy for this team on the season Robleski has 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: a five point one eight e R but a one 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: point three five ERA in relief. It's only three games, 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: thirteen and a third inning, so obviously a small sample size. 66 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: Looking at his career over the last two years, what 67 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: do I have? Seven point six to two ERA and 68 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: eight total starts zero point nine to three ERA in relief. 69 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: He looked good, he looked nasty, he looked froggy. He 70 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: was he was chomping at the bit to get back 71 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: out there for the ninth inning. Unfortunately, Munsey and Edmund 72 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: could not turn a solid double play there to really 73 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: bail him out. Otherwise he would have got well either way. Luckily, 74 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: Robo still ends up with the win. He wouldn't have 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: got the save because it would have, you know, been 76 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: six innings or whatever to five innings to finish the game. 77 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: But the kids are all right. Homegrown talent is looking 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: all right. We'll talk more about that in a second. 79 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: But we got to talk about your boy, William Dill Smith. 80 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that was, some big Willie style. 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: So we were texting last night on our daughter's territory 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: text thread, which, by the way, check out chat BCC. 83 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: There's an opportunity for you to talk about all the 84 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: games and all of our shows and everything together with 85 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: the host. But anyway, we were on a text thread 86 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: last night and Mark wien Er, our boss, was like, hey, 87 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: you know Edmund should have caught that. I was like, 88 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: for sure, yeah, absolutely, and he knows that, Like, I mean, 89 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: he's pretty sure handed when it comes to the glove. 90 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: Right. 91 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: But then I wrote back this morning, I was like, 92 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: big Willy style. I felt like saying big Willy style, bitches, 93 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: but I didn't. This is a guy that I just 94 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: absolutely love. I mean, he is just a ballplayer, right. 95 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 1: You were talking about how Freddie Freeman is just a baller, 96 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and I feel the same way about Will Smith. I 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: mean coming off the bench, which is not an easy 98 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: thing to do ever, even as a pinch hit or 99 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: even if that is your role, that is not an 100 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: easy thing to do. But obviously Will Smith is used 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: to starting the game, getting at least you know, three 102 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: or four at bats and obviously being behind the dish. 103 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: But the dude just doesn't have Yeah yeah, he has 104 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: like such even like even keeled, you know, just calmness 105 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: about him. And I like that and that's why you 106 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: should vote Will Smith to be the starter for the 107 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: All Star Game in the National League. You guys, there's 108 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: no reason on earth that this man should not be 109 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: the starter. And I'm not just saying that because I'm 110 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: a Dodger fan. I'm saying that because if you look 111 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: at the numbers and what he's meant to this club, 112 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: he literally is an All Star. He should be the starter. 113 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Name another backstop in the National League that it has 114 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: meant as much to their respective team as Will Smith 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: has made. You know, has made an impact on the 116 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. That helps that, Dave Roberts says, the 117 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: manager for the club, but he deserves it, honestly. 118 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, well, obviously if he's starting, fans would 119 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: need to vote him in. I love this comment here 120 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: from O Donnie Boy. Will he make and send diego 121 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: irrelevant again? Shout out the cheater jerks and profar for 122 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: that one, mister irrelevant. But yeah, I think right now 123 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: Will is leading baseball, sorry, leading the National League in average, 124 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: surpassing Freddie who's in a little bit of a downward. 125 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: He definitely leads. I believe he leads all of baseball 126 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: in No, no, Will in average with runners in scoring position. 127 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: I don't have these numbers in front of me, but 128 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: he has been good again going back to that's an 129 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: under cell, but going back to the whole idea of 130 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: ice water in his veins. This is his third career 131 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: pinch hit walk off homer, which is insane. Great Sarah 132 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: Langs on the Twitter machine pointing out something I would 133 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: not have known. 134 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, bring up the next graph up because this 135 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: is insane that it was his third. But look at 136 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: the company that he keeps. 137 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: So third is most in Dodger's history, now passing Rick 138 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: Munday of course, a broadcast partner over there on AM 139 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: five to seventy. But yeah, second all time now is 140 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: Will Smith and pinch hit homers. Jason Giambi being up 141 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: there is crazy. I think he rattled off a couple 142 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: in his uh what year, year and a half whatever 143 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: it was with the Rock. 144 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Charlie Culberson being on this list 145 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: with three is far more surprising than all of the 146 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: other people put together. 147 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Charlie Culberson being up there, it's it's a 148 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: little bit. Now, are you just snacking? I'm seeing you? 149 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: Well, here's the deal, No, I am, Here's the deal. 150 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: So my stepdaughter Kylie just brought me fries from Nordstrom 151 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: Cafe with this like unbelievable Aoli sauce. Oh my god, 152 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: don't you should hope and pray that this was smell 153 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: of vision. 154 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: No, listen, listen, your director and your producer are gonna 155 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: get mad at you. And that's that's me. Right now. 156 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: There is this guy over here just eating fries and 157 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: more importantly, not sharing. However, many miles apart. 158 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: We are three thousand miles worth. 159 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: Listen, move, move closer here. It's nicer out here in La. Anyways, 160 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about this aure series. I want to 161 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: talk about how good the Dodgers are. Obviously. One of 162 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: the things I love about what's happening right now I 163 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: said it a little bit earlier, is they're kind of 164 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: doing this with the kids, with with the uh you know, 165 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: the younger talent on the team, and more so with 166 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: homegrown talent. 167 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Well, and this is the alternate point, right We always 168 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: get the accusation that oh LA buys their championships, LA 169 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: buys the team LA. Well, no, LA has a lot 170 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: of money and an ownership group that actually spends money 171 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: a'lla just paid ten billion for the Lakers. We'll get 172 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: into that for a second, but this is a group 173 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: of owners that wants to spend money to put the 174 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: best product possible on the field and get it doesn't 175 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: guarantee a championship. It usually guarantees postseason play, but it 176 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee a championship. But they're doing it, to your point, 177 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: with the young guys taking care of business so far 178 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: as we just saw on that tweet, em Shean obviously 179 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: back Justin Robleski, Benkiz, Sparrious, Jack Dryer, Andy Pater, has 180 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: Dalton Rushing. You can even go as far to say 181 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, who realized is not a kid but is 182 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: a homegrown talent way back in two thousand and eight. 183 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: They're doing it with these will of course. 184 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 2: Of nine of twenty six players on the active roster 185 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: right now, we're either drafted or signed by the Dodgers ten. 186 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: If you want to lump in Hesseng Kim, which I'm 187 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 2: I'm I don't know if I put Kim on there, 188 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: I guess if we're doing that. If you're saying Kim, 189 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 2: you could also say yamamotos so I omit those guys. 190 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean, like anybody that hasn't played for any other team. 191 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: With the international draw, you know, agree signing and all, 192 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: that's a little it's a little different. You can't be 193 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: drafted internationally, so that I don't I don't put them 194 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: in the same category. But to your point, it's the 195 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: homegrown talent that's really stepped up in the absence of 196 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: some of these big stars that didn't necessarily come through 197 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: the Dodger system. 198 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's really cool to see they are 199 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: also a couple of few of those dudes right now 200 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: are helping put together. I mostly just wanted to talk 201 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 2: about this because I saw this graphic pop up on 202 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 2: Twitter right now. I love the B team Dodger starting rotation, 203 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: the way it's coming together because there was the A team. 204 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: This was the plan. Of course, team Yamamoto. This is 205 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 2: the m I A team right now with Snell in there, 206 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: with Tyler glasnow of course Roki Sasaki in there. But 207 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: when you're seeing Yamamoto, Kershaw, Dustin may Otani getting starts, 208 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: I'll be there on Sunday for his next start at 209 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. By the way, Emmit Shean looking really good, 210 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: and of course Ben Caspiraus Justin Rableski kind of being 211 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: those those bulk dudes, and sorry Emma Shean's friend Matt 212 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: Sower being around to help out with innings. They're surprisingly 213 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 2: in a really, really good spot with all things considered, 214 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 2: I feel confident about where this team is at, and 215 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: maybe it helps that they're you know, knocking on the 216 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: door of sweeping the Padres here. 217 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: Well, that's I mean, that's that's certainly great because I 218 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: thought that this Padres team and I still do think 219 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: this Padres team is probably better than they play against 220 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers over the course of the season series. But 221 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: one thing that I'm noticing is that the division a 222 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: week ago was way closer than it is right now. 223 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: The Dodgers are really opening up some distance, if you will, 224 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: in the NL West. So if you take a look 225 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: at what Bill Shaken tweeted, we appreciate this and O 226 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: West standings on Friday, guys, So what five or six 227 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: days ago, you can see where it was. I mean, 228 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: the whole division was big, well the Rockies notwithstanding who cares, 229 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: The whole division was basically, you know, separated by five 230 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: and a half games. But look at it as of yesterday, 231 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: as of coming into play today, the whole division between 232 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks is now nine, right, 233 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: I mean, and you can see Mandy Man five. Dodge said, 234 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: if you're up by ten, you know, like you're kind 235 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: of good there, right, I mean, he said, sour is fine. 236 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: I thought he was going to say, if you're up 237 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: by ten, you're fine nine, you know whatever. But the 238 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: point is they're opening up some distance in the division, 239 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: and that's really good to see, very unlike what is 240 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: happening in the Ale East, where we thought that the 241 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: New York Yankees and out Pinstripe Territory on the found 242 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: Territory platform too with our friend Derek Lewandowski, we thought 243 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: the Yankees were gonna run away with the East, right, Well, ah, 244 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: because Toronto is about to sweep Arizona. The Tampa Bay 245 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: Rays are playing really well, and even the Red Sox, 246 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: despite the drama and the telenovela that is the Boston 247 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: Red Sox, they're even playing better. So the Yankees are 248 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: not running away with that division, but the Dodgers are 249 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: lengthening their lead and that's good to see. 250 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I appreciate you mentioning Derek because I saw 251 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: a clip from a recent pitchstripe. He's live, he's good. 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: You know. The Yankee offense not so much alive. But 253 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: this is not the show to talk about that. Of course, 254 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: you and Ken talked about that earlier today on Fair, 255 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: so guys check that out. Of course, watch Foul, watch everything. 256 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: Check out our buddy Kyle Glazer two also giving you 257 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: the Padres perspective of this whole matchup. But Dodgers right now, 258 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: sitting forty six and twenty nine, most went to the 259 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 2: National League where you saw the graphic four and a 260 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: half game lead over San Francisco, six games over San Diego, 261 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: and I don't feel bad for the Padres, but I 262 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: kind of feel bad for the Padres because you and 263 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: I spoke with Kyle Glazer before the first series down 264 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: in San Diego, and one of the things he told 265 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: us was I asked him what are we gonna learn 266 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: from this series? And he was like, in so many words, 267 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: we're gonna learn whether or not they're frauds and they're 268 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: That's not what he said. That's me paraphrasing it in 269 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: a Homer way. But we're gonna learn whether or not 270 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: they're frauds, and they are. And you're seeing Padres fans 271 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 2: breaking down. They're talking about how the bottom of the 272 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: lineup is is straight up ass and it kind of 273 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: is right now. But also at the same time, Dodgers 274 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: are just they're on a hot streak and they're doing 275 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: it without show. Hey, they're doing it without Mooky right now. 276 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 2: It's it's pretty crazy to see, uh oh, show back. 277 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: Show Hayes back. Don't you forget those twenties A picture 278 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: now that's gonna that's lead to a lot of really 279 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: really good things. 280 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: How about this, by the way, compared to last year, 281 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: argus Dodgers. 282 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so here's the thing, Like, we're actually doing 283 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: better in terms of run production to this season forty 284 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: five and twenty nine games through through four to seven 285 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: four games. It's hard to believe they've already played seventy 286 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: four games, my ward, this season, flying better this year 287 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: already in terms of runs scored than they did in 288 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four World Series Championship. Here so again 289 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: and this is this does beg the question has this 290 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: offense even hit their stride yet? Because I don't ever 291 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: feel like everybody up and down the lineup at the 292 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: same time consistently has been doing that. So again, a 293 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: good team is just going to continue to get better. 294 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: If they can just hold serve, which they're doing. More 295 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: than holding serve, they're creating some distance. That is good news. 296 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dodgers pulling away in the National League West. We 297 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: feel real good about it. A lot of baseball still 298 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: to be played, of course, and a lot of Dodgers' 299 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: territory coming up.

And the 328 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: person said that, listen, they're not quite ready. This was 329 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: a week in change ago, so let me be clear 330 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: about that. This was not today or yesterday. But the 331 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: point was there's still a little bit of a runway 332 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: with Conforto. However, they do understand the absolute need to 333 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: get hasun come in, has Sung Kim in there rather 334 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: and play him to spell Rojas, to spell Conforto to 335 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: spell a couple of other people. But he definitely has 336 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: earned the right to probably be in that lineup a 337 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: bit more consistently. And for whatever reason, Conforto just has 338 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: not had even a significantly even small stretch with the 339 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: Dodgers of productivity. I don't know, you know a couple 340 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: questions here, and you and I talked about this in 341 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: our production meeting. Do we dfa Conforto and if so, 342 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: what do we want in return? Do we want another 343 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: left handed bat power bat off the bench or do 344 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: we need to just see him as a bench player 345 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: only and not dfan. 346 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think this Dodgers team is ever going 347 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: to kind of cut bait on a move like you know, 348 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 2: seventeen million dollars signing like Michael Confordo is. However, it's 349 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 2: very much time to see what Hessan Kim can give you. 350 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 2: And I talked about this on on my All Dodgers 351 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: channel yesterday. It's a good time to see what Hesson 352 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: Kim can give you, because you also need to know 353 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 2: you're again a month and change away from the trade deadline. 354 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: You need to know if you need to go out 355 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: and be active to add an outfielder, or if it's 356 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: gonna be a bench piece, if it's gonna be a 357 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: you know, a bullpen arm or whatever it is. But 358 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: right now you're looking at left field or a spot 359 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: in the outfield, and there's a clear need. When Michael 360 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: Conforto's starting, there's a clear need there. So if it's 361 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: gonna be if it's gonna be Kim getting the majority 362 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 2: of that playing time and he's playing center, and you 363 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 2: slide pa Hezo over to left where he's also been solid, 364 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: this is the time to learn it. And and Andrew 365 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: Friedman did speak this week about, you know, the trade deadline. 366 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: He's still standing with what he said in the off season, 367 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: standing by like, I really don't want to have to 368 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: make any moves. I don't think they have to make 369 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: some moves. But back to the root of Michael Conforto 370 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 2: versus hess On Kim, we are going to start learning 371 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: that because Dave Roberts said yesterday that he's going to 372 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: start taking away some playing time from Conforto. He didn't 373 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: start last night, not starting today on Thursday in the 374 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: series finale. And we have a clip here from our 375 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: friends over at Dodger Blue. So let's listen to Dave 376 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 2: talking about this Confordo situation. We'll come back and digest it. 377 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 5: I see him playing a lot, so I do. I 378 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 5: do think that in a meritocracy, in that fame, I 379 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 5: think that a song has earned opportunities, and I don't 380 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 5: want to just kind of get him to lose smog 381 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 5: show and sit for four or five six days. Can 382 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 5: expect good at that. So I think that he's furning 383 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 5: the opportunity to get somewhat of a consistent. Look. 384 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 3: We'll go from there. 385 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I think it's obviously it's a bummer 386 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: for Comfortable because I really thought I remember when they 387 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 1: signed him, I was super psyched. I really thought it 388 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: was going to lengthen the lineup. Remember I was all 389 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: about this signing. I was really hoping that that left 390 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: handed bat was going to really help balance the lineup 391 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: out a little bit towards the bottom part of the lineup. 392 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: But that being said, he's batting one sixty eight right now. 393 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 1: Over the course of the season in two hundred and 394 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: two at bats, and that's over sixty five games. I 395 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: mean the team's played seventy five, so he's had a 396 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: pretty significant number of at bats. I mean two hundred 397 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: and two at bats so far for a guy that's 398 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: not an obvious every single day player or a superstars 399 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty decent sample size, but also 400 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: good for Icean Kim because I mean, this is a 401 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: guy that's done it at every level. Right he did 402 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: it in a KBO, he's done it at Triple A, 403 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: as you've pointed out, and he's done it so far 404 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: in the time that he's been given at the major 405 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: league baseball level. So right now you kind of ride 406 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: it and see how how he can perform. And I 407 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: think perhaps he'll only get better with more consistent playing 408 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: time and not always having to like look over his 409 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: shoulder like, oh yeah, am I going to you know, 410 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: three hits today, Ben Show tomorrow? 411 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: Well, you know, the whole idea of looking over his shoulder, 412 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: it's like yesterday, and I'm not This is not an 413 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: attack on Dave and it's not an attack on the 414 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: front office's strategy because I understand, you know, thinking in 415 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: davisms you know, you got to keep Keith ky Hernandez relevant, 416 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: which is why he's going to pinch it against lefties. 417 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: He's a lefty killer. YadA YadA. So I did make 418 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 2: the note. You know, hess On Kim has hit lefties, 419 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: He's hit all handers at every level. He's now played 420 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: very small sample size at big league level. He's I 421 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: think it's three for four, But at this point in time, 422 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 2: I need to see him playing again. Going back and 423 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 2: reiterating what I'm saying and piggybacking off of or continuing 424 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: off of your question from earlier, we need to see 425 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: I need to see what Kim can do now to 426 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: know whether or not Confordo is going to be on 427 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: the bench, or you need to use that roster spot 428 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: in a DFA situation or a weird salary dump trade 429 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: thing to bring in somebody who's going to be an outfielder. Now, 430 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: there's also no very clear options for this team to 431 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: pick up. That's another one of the things Andrew Friedman 432 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: has mentioned. It's like, if there is a very clear 433 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: and obvious upgrade that we can go out and acquire, 434 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: they will always consider those, But who is it going 435 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: to be If it's. 436 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if that's the thing. I mean, like, 437 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: who's even out there? And the thing too is like 438 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: granted to the Los Angeles Dodgers, seventeen million is nothing, 439 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: but it's not like you just gave this dude a 440 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: million dollars, Like seventeen million dollars is significant. And I 441 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: think that if you look at what they thought that 442 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: they were going to get out of Conforto, they're probably 443 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: pretty disappointed in terms of the way that this production 444 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily worked its way out. 445 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 3: Now. 446 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: I do know that they like the person they like. 447 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: You know, he's a good dude, but that's not going 448 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 1: to give you at bats. But perhaps if you know, 449 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: they start to play Kim Moore and you know, Confordo 450 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: just is I guess regularly I can't even talk today. 451 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: Relegated to a bench role, maybe without having to question 452 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: any more his role, maybe that'll help him too. 453 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that could be a solid role. And we 454 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 2: know this team would like to have a well hopefully 455 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: it's a solid left handed bat off of the bench. 456 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 2: It could help them out a decent amount because they 457 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: would have him and if Dalton Rushing is not starting, 458 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 2: he's left handed. You know, Kim in this scenario would 459 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 2: be in the starting lineup, and then right handed options 460 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: you have Keiky Hernandez, Miguel Rojas, which Miggey Row we 461 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: should probably have a conversation about at some point in time, 462 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: not now. Again, right now is the time to really 463 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: see what Kim is all about. I'm gonna three I'm 464 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: not reiterating, I'm three iterating this now is the time 465 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 2: to play Kim. You've already given, like you said, two 466 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 2: hundred two at bats and and what sixty five games 467 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,719 Speaker 2: to Michael Conforida. He's hitting the buck sixty eight. It's 468 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: not even hitting his weight. Yeah you miss sometimes you're swinging, yeah. 469 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you know. And again he has been given 470 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: quite the runway. I do believe sixty five games is 471 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: enough time to figure out if you know this is 472 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: going to pan out or not. So perhaps again an 473 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: opportunity to just know that he's a role player, bench 474 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: player will help. 475 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 476 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: What is so funny? 477 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: As I say, I could tell you about two games, 478 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: three games that I would not be a good major 479 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: league hitter this season. So sixty five games is kind 480 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 2: of a lot for Conforida. 481 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys have a little bit different resume. 482 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: I understand, I understand, but that's fine, all right. 483 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: So if I can, if I could hit my weight, 484 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 2: i'd be a Hall of Famer. Let me tell you. 485 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: That, Oh well I could. I Well, okay, that's that's 486 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: for another pro. And one thing, like you know, like 487 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: when you can you talk about your family and that's fine, 488 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: but somebody else talks about your family in a negative 489 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: way and you want you want to go toe to 490 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: toe and like go to blows like you can dash 491 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: on yourself.

Yesterday. 562 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 2: It was yesterday I guess where the world broke and 563 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 2: we learned that Dodger's controlling owner Mark Walter ten billion 564 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: dollars LA Lakers. Holy crap lot. 565 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, myel this is all I'm gonna say about 566 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: this the next time I hear anybody complain about what 567 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: amount of money a star like Sho Heeo Tani is 568 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: getting or a star like Juan Soto is getting, just 569 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: remember how much the owners have ten billion with ab 570 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: everyone to purchase the majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers. 571 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: By the way, shoe Heeyo Tani is now they're starting 572 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: point guard. This is an unbelievably epic deal in terms 573 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: of a professional sports franchise being purchased. Remember the Dodgers 574 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: were purchased for two billion, two billion back in like 575 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen from the mccourts. With this new 576 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: Guggenheim ownership group. So Mark Walter and that ownership group 577 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: has done an amazing job with the Los Angeles Daughters 578 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: and giving the Dodger fan base an unbelievable amount of 579 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: good players, competitive baseball, perennial postseason appearances. And that is 580 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: hopefully what's going to continue to happen with the Los 581 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers. But I don't want to hear it anymore 582 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: about all the spoiled millionaires blah blah blah. Trust me, 583 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: the owners have more money and every single of the 584 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: thirty can spend it. 585 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny you mentioned coming out of the 586 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: McCourt era, us who were fans at that time watching 587 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: this team surviving, enduring the end of the Frank and 588 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: Jamie McCourt era, and that glimmer of hope when Magic 589 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: and Guggenheim and Mark Walter, Todd Bowley and the rest 590 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 2: of the Gang Stan cast and come in on the 591 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: White Horse to save us, and you think of now 592 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 2: where this ball club is at thirteen years later. Of course, 593 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 2: getting the Sportsnet deal helped out hiring an amazing team 594 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: that included you, bulldog, hard tongue and all that. Like 595 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: like giving Granted, we were blocked out. A lot of 596 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: people were blacked out from watching you guys, which was 597 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: very frustrating for a while.
