1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: I think that sent a message to his teammates that 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, he had the kohonas to be able to 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: hang in there.

You knew you had something 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: going there, so I know you have a lot to 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: get into you, but let's start with Let's start. 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: With Miggi Roe. 23 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 4: Hey, Miggy Roe is doing exactly what this team needs 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 4: wanted when they first traded for him. 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 5: This is the role. 26 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 4: This is a steadying presence in the lineup, a veteran presence, 27 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 4: a professional, a good at bat, a good quality at 28 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 4: bat at the bottom of the lineup, keeping the line moving. 29 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 4: He's also kind of slugging. 30 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 5: A little bit. 31 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 4: He's doing a little bit of everything and officially moving 32 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 4: over to second base, acting as a as a teacher 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 4: for Mookie Bets, which I think is one of those 34 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 4: very much unsung hero things that he's doing in the lineup, 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 4: and just he's been phenomenal. I love what we're seeing 36 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 4: out of us. Gonna say, Mooie Bets, I love Mooki 37 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 4: Bets too, but I love what we're seeing out of 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 4: Miguel Rojas finally settling into that role the team always envisioned. 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, home plate smiles. 40 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: You saw that there on the Dodger social media channel. 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: And it's funny too, because Miguel Rojas is the second basement, okay, 42 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: and so Gavin Leuts can figure some things out. 43 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 3: Mookie Bets obviously the start shortstop. 44 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: The numbers that he is putting up, Clint, I am 45 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: starting to run out of adjectives for what this guy means. 46 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: If you're the Boston Red Sox fan base, you've got 47 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: to be like, really, this guy wasn't worth keeping. 48 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 4: Really, you're you're really coming out of fire and from 49 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: the hip. But that one, I know, we saw one tweet. 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 4: There's a writer online. I forget the fella's name. I 51 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 4: think we have the tweet loaded up here, Maury Brown 52 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 4: talking about you can see why the Red Sox did 53 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 4: pass on Mookie Bets. Of course they did not want 54 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: to go beyond what was it, ten years, three hundred 55 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 4: million dollar extension. Back in the day, MOOKI knew he 56 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: was worth more. He wanted to get his worth. He 57 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: wanted to set a new market standard for outfielders. Now 58 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 4: we're looking at a shortstop. But Mike gott has Mookie 59 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 4: Bets been fun to watch, and hey, you know we 60 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 4: have a month now of shortstop Mookie and quieting the 61 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: haters for sure. Yeah, there's some errors in there, but 62 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: he looks pretty damn good. And now officially the starting shortstop. 63 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 4: Dave Roberts not going to be putting mcgo Rojas at 64 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: shortstop anymore. Mookie says, let me take it and run 65 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: with it. That's the only way I'm going to get better. 66 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, Micky Bets is the best athlete in 67 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: the game. 68 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: I don't care if you're talking right fielder, shortstop, left fielder, catcher, pitcher, bowler, archer, 69 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: you know, equestrian, Mooki Betts is the best athlete in 70 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: the game. And I want to bring up the you know, 71 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: the conversation that Kratzy had over on foul Territory when 72 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: the decision was made that Mookie Bets was going to 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: be the starting sours up and he was. 74 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: Like kind of not all about it. 75 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: But that will leave that for another time because he's 76 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: our friend, he's our teammate. 77 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: But I told you so, Kratz. That's all I want 78 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: to tell you. 79 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: All Right, Andy Pajas, this is a guy Clinton you 80 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: were high on, and there's. 81 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: A reason you were hot. 82 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: You look like you're hitting a thousand right now with 83 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: your predictions of why you wanted Mickey Roe and why 84 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: you wanted Andy Pajas in this lineup. Has he solidified 85 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: a spot on this rotation or excuse me, on this 86 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: roster moving forward, because he's given that boost to the 87 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: bottom of the lineup that we were so desperate we're 88 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: looking for. 89 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 4: Oh Man, Paes has been everything this lineup was missing 90 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: over the first couple of weeks of the season. I 91 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 4: kind of said it last week at this point, you know, 92 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: you got to spark in the bottom of lineup, something 93 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: the team needed. But he's not going anywhere. They need 94 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 4: to find him. We see eighty four on the screen 95 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 4: right now. Find him a big boy number. He is 96 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 4: here to stay, and he's earning every bit of it. 97 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: I mean, you're looking at somebody who's now moving up, 98 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: already hitting six in the lineup. If it wasn't such 99 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 4: a deep lineup, you could see him hitting even higher, 100 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 4: putting together really good at bats, quality at bats, and 101 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 4: he is fun to watch and no slouch in the 102 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: outfield too. He's really the complete package. Love what we're 103 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: seeing out of Andy pa Has and you hope the 104 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 4: league doesn't try to catch up to him at some 105 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: point right now. But I think he's doing a really 106 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 4: bang up job of adjusting to what they're throwing at 107 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 4: him and playing a great role for this team as well. 108 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, my man is not a tight end. 109 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 2: Can we get him Alex Torres in the Dodgers clubhouse, 110 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: the head clubhouse guy, who's the glue that keeps clubhouse together. 111 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody says. 112 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: He does so much for this team, Alex Torres, let's 113 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: get on the pahis out of number eighty four. But Clinton, 114 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: one thing that stood out over the course of the 115 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: last road trip, and you and I have talked about 116 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: this at length. I mean, you cover this team closer 117 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: than anybody. The lineup depth of this team is sick, Shobeotani, 118 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: Max Munsey on the bench, and the team continues to 119 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: put up runs. Six runs on the board. That's a 120 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: deep line up. There's not an easy out right now. 121 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, they scored eight with a and shut out. Of course, 122 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: important to note they did shut out. Crap, who the 123 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 4: hell they played last night? You know, I did start 124 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 4: drinking early for today's show. But anyways, you add their 125 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: second shutout of the season. 126 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 5: That's coffee. Everybody, don't worry. 127 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 4: Alana's drinking coffee. She is a professional. Put eight runs 128 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: on the board with show. Hey getting his first day 129 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: off months he has kind of been you know, I 130 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 4: would say it's not really a full platoon mode or 131 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: platoon roll. But we're seeing a little bit of guys 132 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: setting settling into their roles and giving opportunities to guys 133 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 4: like Miguel Rojas, guys like Keik Hernandez who has been 134 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: heating up. And this is what this team does a lota. 135 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 4: You know this because you've seen it firsthand. The front office, 136 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 4: Andrew Freeman and company. They put together these deep lineups 137 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 4: that and deep rosters where people might not buy in immediately. 138 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 4: Fans might not buy in immediately over the first week 139 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 4: or two where things maybe aren't the prettiest, but we've 140 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: seen these guys perform at the highest level, even Austin Barnes, 141 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 4: who when you bring that guy up in the offseason, 142 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: you know people are running at you with torches and 143 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 4: pitchforks and all that. Barnes having a hell of a 144 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 4: season as well. It's up and down the lineup, just 145 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: firing on almost all cylinders, and it's really fun to watch. 146 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: All right, Clint, they played the Dbacks last night. Let's 147 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: not forget that. 148 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: How about this Dodgers Z showtime fans Andy paj has 149 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: Forerookie of the Year. 150 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: Who knows, maybe we also have a super chat. 151 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: We always appreciate you getting involved in the conversation with 152 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: us here at Dodgers' Territory on our Foul Territory channel, 153 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: Evan wants to know has keiy K finally earned his spot? 154 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: You know, I tell you what, key K again, He's 155 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: a clutch guy. He's a postseason guy. He's a guy 156 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: that we've talked about at clympsis. He's a guy that 157 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: needs to play all of the time to keep his timing. 158 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: He also gets really irritated when he doesn't play all 159 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: the time. And for Keik and I love him, it 160 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: does affect him emotionally. It affects him, so he lets 161 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: it get to him, I think too much when he 162 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: doesn't play. But in your opinion, is he starting to 163 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: look better maybe taken off right now? 164 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah? 165 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: I think there's a few things you need to consider 166 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: with key K. Hernandez is one. He is, you know, 167 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 4: settling back in in his own right into kind of 168 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 4: a utility role, playing that role he played so well 169 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: for the Dodgers for a number of years. 170 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 5: But also, this is a dude who. 171 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: Had pretty significant offseason surgery, the double hernia surgery, something 172 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: that had been affecting him in a while, so that 173 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: would you know, presumably it would affect his off season work. 174 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 4: So he got signed a little bit later in the offseason. 175 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 4: You you kind of get your your swing going a 176 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 4: little bit later. So the first week or two of 177 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 4: the season in effect, was kind of his spring training. 178 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: Now you're seeing him come to life and he's looking 179 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 4: good on defense. He's looking to get really good at 180 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 4: the dish. You know, another one of those guys veteran 181 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 4: putting together quality at bats. And we've seen what Kei 182 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 4: k can do on the biggest stages, and that's what 183 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 4: this guy was he was assigning. When you look towards 184 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: World Series run, you look towards October, he can do 185 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: a little bit of everything you need and he's doing 186 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 4: it now healthy and that that's helping this team out 187 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 4: a hole. 188 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, off season growing surgery. He's looking good though now 189 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: and again this team expects to play in October. 190 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: Kik could be a very big part of that. Keep 191 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: your questions coming. David Vesse of AM five seventy is 192 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: going to join Clinton and I here momentarily talking about 193 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: this team. Dave obviously covers them on a daily basis, 194 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: So load up those questions. 195 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: For him. 196 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: In the chat before we get to Dave, you had 197 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: mentioned Austin Barnes, who I adore, And again, Austin Barnes 198 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: does what you ask him to do, but he doesn't 199 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: get to play every day because there's a guy called 200 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: Will Smith behind the plate. This guy is not red 201 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: hot Clint, he is white hot. 202 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 4: Will Smith, i argue, is not just the most underrated 203 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 4: catcher in baseball. He could be one of the most 204 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: underrated players in baseball. He's hitting three fifty five as 205 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 4: an OPS at nine fifty so far this season. He 206 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: moved up to third in the lineup with Shohey on 207 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 4: the bench on Wednesday night. Again, times are really hard 208 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 4: right now, early, but he hits a homer. 209 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 5: Will is just fun to watch, steadying presence. 210 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: Also in that lineup, when you're talking about uh shohem, Tod, 211 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 4: you're talking about Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman. 212 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 5: We haven't even mentioned yet. 213 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, Will Smith is off to the 214 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 4: best part of his career already. You know, has an 215 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 4: All Star birth under his belt. Really really fun to 216 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 4: watch Will come into his own and say, hey, you know, 217 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 4: maybe I should have got more on that contract extension. 218 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, did you see Will Smith there? 219 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: Obviously do like the hip thrust that happened when Ki 220 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 2: k actually like messed up a hip. But last year 221 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: it was like a year to this day, right that 222 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: the Freeman, the Freddy Freeman was born. 223 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was that was born at the h there. 224 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: It is beautiful dancing right there, Blue Diamond Gala a 225 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 4: year ago. I think this year's is a little bit 226 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: earlier than it was last year, but still, and then 227 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 4: the team a month or two later decided to make 228 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: that kind of there. Freddie went viral with his dance 229 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 4: and then you know when Kik came over, of course 230 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: he had fun with the hip dancing. But I want 231 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 4: to shout out Will Smith if we're talking about the Freddy, 232 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 4: because he was somebody that was a little laughable at 233 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: first with the dances, you know, little little robotic. 234 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 5: He doesn't have. 235 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 3: He's not a huge like look at me guy. 236 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: Will Smith would rather crawl under a rock than have 237 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: any attention put on him. 238 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 4: Sneaky hips though, sneaky hips from Willie big Willy style 239 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, maybe can dance a little bit. 240 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: We love seeing it, and they might have the opportunity 241 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 2: to see it because tonight is the Dodgers Gala, the 242 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 2: Blue Diamond Gala. Of course, we'll talk to David Vesse 243 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: about that. We'll find out who he is wearing, what 244 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: he thinks, you know, who he thinks is going to 245 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 2: be the best stressed on the blue carpet, those types 246 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: of things, and it all benefits. 247 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: The Dodgers Foundation. 248 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: Before we get to Dave, who's going to join us 249 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: momentarily here if he remembers, actually. 250 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: Yamamoto, despite the first start. 251 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: Clint in Soul Korea, Yamamoto has been worth so far, 252 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: I know, it's early. All three hundred and twenty five 253 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: million that they gave him. We're starting to see why 254 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: they thought so highly of him. 255 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 3: What have you seen? 256 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 5: Why? 257 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 4: Hey, why so many people around baseball thought so highly 258 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: of him? You throw out that first start nerves jitters. 259 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 4: They tried to change some things with his hand positioning 260 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 4: to you know, mitigate anybody potentially stealing signs. 261 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 5: I think I fully agree with you. 262 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: You're seeing why so many people wanted him, so many 263 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 4: teams wanted him, and why the Dodgers were like, we 264 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 4: will give you twelve years and three under twenty six 265 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: million dollars twenty five million dollars to come pitch for us. Uh, 266 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 4: this is a dude. You could not have asked for 267 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 4: more out of Yama in his first month. And and 268 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 4: you know we mentioned Andy Pa has maybe Rookie of 269 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 4: the Year campaign. This is a strong beginning to a 270 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year season for Yamamoto. I don't know 271 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 4: if you agree, but he's been fun to watch. 272 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: It's hard for me to have a pitcher be a 273 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year or a MVP only because they 274 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: don't play every single day. I mean, there's different opinions 275 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: on that, obviously, and I would love to see obviously 276 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: Andy Pa has get Rookie of the Year. I'm a 277 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: Dodger fan, but you're going to be hard pressed to 278 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: see if somebody like Colton Kowser doesn't get it. I 279 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: don't know if you've paid attention to what Colton Kawser 280 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: has done for the Baltimore Orioles, but it's absolutely ridiculous 281 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: what he's doing. 282 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: You know, that's true. That is true. 283 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: That is the h Yeah, you're absolutely right, but you 284 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: know you look at you look at guys. That's like 285 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: that's an impact that I see, Like those big numbers. 286 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: I realize he'sing the American line, but those big, big 287 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: numbers like Corbyn Carrol last year in the National League, 288 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: those are big numbers. Can pat Has put those up? Perhaps, yes, 289 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: But I do have more of a hard time seeing 290 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: a rookie. I know, you know, it happens like a 291 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: rookie being or a pitcher rather being a rookie of 292 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: the Year. 293 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: But I regard there when as he looks good. 294 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you go out there and win sixteen or eighteen games, 295 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 4: and you know, post an era around two and a 296 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 4: half or under. I think, you know, you can make 297 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: a pretty damn good argument for Yoshinoba Yemamoto. But hey, 298 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: you know, as long as the roy is coming from, 299 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 4: the Dodgers will be happy. 300 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, here's a big thing that we should probably should 301 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: have started the big ticket with. There's just so much 302 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: to talk about today. Walker Buehler's coming back. 303 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 4: Hello, ker Fan Butler. But Tane is going to be back. 304 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 4: First start since June tenth, twenty twenty two. Long road 305 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 4: to recovery. You know, even that twenty twenty two season 306 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: was a bit of a struggle for firm. Healthwise was 307 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,599 Speaker 4: exceptional in twenty twenty one, of course finish in the 308 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 4: top five in nl CY Young Award voting. But this 309 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 4: was a guy that I think, I know I've been 310 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 4: very much waiting for. 311 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 5: This is sort of to me. 312 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 4: I don't want to say the season teeters on him, 313 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: because that's putting a lot on one guy, and we 314 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: know one player does not win a World Series. But 315 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 4: the Dodgers have been bouncing the first round the last 316 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 4: two years when Walker Buhler has not been available. 317 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: I think there's something to that. 318 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: And I think when you add him alongside Tyler Glass 319 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 4: now and alongside Yoshinobu Yamamoto maybe Clayton Kershaw down the road, 320 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: you have a really effing good starting rotation with that 321 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 4: addition of Walker Buehler. 322 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 3: But I think it's. 323 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: Really smart, though, Clint, that they're putting him on the 324 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: mound against Marlins who are terrible, and they're doing it 325 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: at home before we get to David, because Dave is 326 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: checking in right. 327 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: Now, so we want to get to him because we 328 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: want to have some time with him. 329 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: What are the limitations do you think that he's going 330 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: to have placed on him? And are there certain expectations. 331 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: It's tough, this is his second Tommy John. 332 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 333 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just get what you can out of him. 334 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 4: I think that we'll ask Dave about that. 335 00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 5: Ryan. 336 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 4: Now I believe Dave is ready to go or Yeah, 337 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 4: let's continue that conversation with Dave Vassa, of course, host 338 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: of Dodger Talk on AM five seventy LA Sports Radio. 339 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 4: A legend here in Los Angeles and all over the globe. 340 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 5: It's going on DV. 341 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: Everything's great. Great to join the show, Hilana. 342 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 3: Hi, Dave, I miss you. I love that you're here. 343 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: I didn't realize that today was the Dodgers gala, and 344 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: now I feel terrible because you're off today. But you're 345 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: not off because now you're on our show. But we 346 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: appreciate you. What are you wearing tonight, David? 347 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: A blue sport coat and some jeans and maybe a 348 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: blue shirt. You know, I'll play the parts. I'll play 349 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: the Blue Diamond Park, so I got some blue. My 350 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: wife's more excited than I am about going. She says 351 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: it's like a work Christmas party. 352 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ed, sure and no doubt. All right, David, let's 353 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: talk about this club. A great road trip that they're 354 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: coming off of Clinton. I had discussed after they were 355 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: playing kind of poorly. That the last game at home 356 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: before they went to the East Coast was they get 357 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: right game, And David, they've had a lot of get 358 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: right games since then. What's been the biggest change that 359 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: you've seen over the last ten to twelve days. 360 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: Well, I know the offense has been unbelievable on this 361 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: nine game road trip, but really I pointed to the bullpen. 362 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: During that nine game homestand where they lost every series, 363 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: the bullpen was giving up some key go ahead hits 364 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: and home runs, and on this road trip, I believe 365 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: they only gave up three earned runs, not more than four. 366 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: So for me, that's been the biggest difference. And also 367 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: their starters gave them a lot of length. I mean 368 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: last night was a great indication of that. Yamamoto six 369 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: scoreless innings, Gavin Stone in one of the starts on 370 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: the road trip, went seven, a career high. Glass now 371 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: did his thing going into the seventh inning. So to me, 372 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: the pitchers had it good because they were pitching with 373 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: the lead most of the time. But once they turned 374 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: things over to the bullpen, they kept the game where 375 00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: it was. 376 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 4: And you know, we got to give some love in there. 377 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 4: To land a knack for filling in for a few starts. 378 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 4: Looked really, really good. 379 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 5: That's what you want out of this dude. But he 380 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 5: will give way now to Walker. 381 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: Bueler's a guy we were talking about just before, Dave, 382 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 4: what are you hearing about any potential limitations for Walker? 383 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 4: This was what we were talking about when we brought 384 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 4: you in. Do you think this is a guy maybe 385 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 4: we don't see him going beyond eighty five pitches five innings, 386 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 4: or do you think they just kind of let him 387 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 4: let it eat. 388 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: No, Dave Roberts said yesterday, it's going to be around 389 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: eighty pitches, which makes a lot of sense. Right when 390 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: he pitches on Monday, it'll be the first time in 391 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: essentially two years, just a munth shy of two years, 392 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: so you're going to see him treated like any other 393 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: pitcher first turn around the rotation. There was a reason 394 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 1: why he went six rehab starts, even though you know 395 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: this process has been going on for two years. Not 396 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: only it wasn't a point of him bouncing back by 397 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: the time it got to the fourth start. Even he 398 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: said this that his stuff just wasn't good, and so 399 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Buehler wanted to make sure his stuff 400 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: was where he would want it, because he even said 401 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: that he feels the burden of responsibility not to go 402 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: out there in a major league game and then turn 403 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: things over to the bullpen because he couldn't go more 404 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: than three or four innings, whether it was health or ineffectiveness. 405 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: So you don't hear that too often. So they checked 406 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: literally all the boxes and then some to make sure 407 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: he was ready to go. And it's not a coincidence either, 408 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: and no disrespect to the Marlins that he's going to 409 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: make his first start against the Marlins at Dodger Stadium, 410 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: So I feel safe to say it's a soft landing 411 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: for him. 412 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: Dave, I want to ask you a little bit more 413 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: about Yoshinobo Yamamoto. Despite that first outing in Seoul, he 414 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 2: has looked great his last six starts. 415 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 3: Now. 416 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: The one knock on him that I believe is that 417 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: people say he's a little afraid to throw the fastball, 418 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: kind of relies on his secondary pitches a little bit 419 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 2: too much. 420 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: Is that a fair assessment? Is he getting better in 421 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 3: that area? 422 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was getting too predictable, Alana, the fastball, there's 423 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: no secret it's straight as a narrow and when you 424 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: know it's coming, first pitch fastball, guys were sitting on it. 425 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: And you know, obviously the Padres both times they faced Yamamoto, 426 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: it felt like they knew what was coming. Right. They 427 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: may have had some sort of tip on him. But 428 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: outside of the Padres, he's been really good. And I 429 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: feel like his season turned around in that game at 430 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: Wrigley Field in the very first inning again where he 431 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: loaded the bases with nobody out and as you guys know, 432 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: struck out the side in order after that to get 433 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: out of there. I think that sent a message to 434 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: his teammates that you know, he had the cohonas to 435 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: be able to hang in there and not break and 436 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, let the damn explode there. So to me, 437 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: I feel like that's where his season changed. 438 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 4: So we're talking Yamamo. We can't not talk about a 439 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 4: fellow countryman. You get to see now day on a 440 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 4: day to day basis, Dave, you get to see Shohematani 441 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: in the flesh. What has been kind of a wow 442 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 4: moment for you in watching this guy's daily work. 443 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: Well, contrary to your belief, he doesn't walk on water, 444 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: he actually puts on some lake at a time. 445 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 5: It's a normal dude, breaking news. 446 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: Breaking news. You know, there's no glow around him. He's 447 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: just a regular guy. But honestly, he's been more approachable 448 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: because of the no longer Epay being around and kind 449 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: of being that in mary area between him and the 450 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: rest of the team. So the human shield is gone, 451 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: and guys have told me that the relationships between him 452 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: and them have actually become greater and he's just one 453 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: of the guys now. And honestly, in the last week 454 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: or so, I've had more interactions with him than I 455 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: had all the spring training. And you know, all those things, 456 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: as Alana knows, being in the clubhouse, they just happen organically, 457 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: and he's just opening up and being more of just 458 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: a regular guy. And players tell me behind the scenes 459 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: he's really humorous and has a great sense of humor. 460 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: And you've seen it already in the dugout. He's sharing 461 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: scouting reports after his at bats. Players are sharing their 462 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: scouting reports with him after they're at bats. So yeah, 463 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: it's working out really well. 464 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: I love to hear that. That's great. 465 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: You want a guy that's absolutely approachable, and before I 466 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: get you back to Clint here, Dave, So, Bobby Miller 467 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: when he went on the IL, Dave Roberts said, it's 468 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: just a little smoke, And we have a question here 469 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: in the chat regarding this. 470 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: It seems like he's going to be pushed back a 471 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 3: little longer. Is it more than. 472 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 2: Just a little smoke, Dave, what can you tell us 473 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 2: about Bobby Miller's status. 474 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not throwing yet, so I would say it's 475 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: more than a little smoke. You know, at this point, 476 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: the longer it goes on, the longer it's going to 477 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: take for him to come back and be built up. 478 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: But talking to Bobby, he doesn't seem that concerned about it. 479 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: It's something that he was dealing with at the beginning 480 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: of spring training and instead of causing greater damage, they 481 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: were smart about it and said, let's just get this right. 482 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: You don't want to hurt your shoulder to a severe extent. 483 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: So just getting the pulse and demeanor from Bobby himself, Yes, 484 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: he's not happy about being on the IL. Yes this 485 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: is not ideal, but also it's good that he did 486 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: not try to push through and, like I said, create 487 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: more damage. But he's not throwing from what we understand 488 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: right now and certainly not off the mound. 489 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 4: Now you need Bobby Miller more so in the second 490 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 4: half of the season that you need him in April 491 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 4: all wins matter, but hopefully more in October. I would 492 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 4: be remiss we don't circle back to a little bit 493 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 4: of show Hey, ep A talk Dave. You follow this team, 494 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: What was your sense of your finger on the pulse 495 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 4: there in that faded day where all the news kind 496 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 4: of dropped, and how did the clubhouse react? What was 497 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 4: your reaction and you know some of your peers around you. 498 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: Well, honestly, Clint, they kept it very close to the 499 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: best all of it. Leading up to it. Nobody really 500 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: knew outside of the news outlets ESPN and the La 501 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: Times that were working on this story. But there there 502 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: seemed to be kind of a circling of the wagons 503 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: where the players and everybody else in the organization just 504 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: rallied around Shohey because of this nefarious deeds that Epay 505 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: was up to. And I know there was a lot 506 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: of skepticism at first, but it seems to be kind 507 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: of a behind the Dodgers and behind Otani. He's done 508 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: a really since day one, an incredible job of compartmentalizing 509 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: things and just focusing on baseball. Think about what he's 510 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: gone through since he joined the Dodgers, right, He's his 511 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: relationship with Epei as a brotherhood. In the past, he's 512 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: betrayed by him. There's a lot of people publicly that 513 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: don't believe that he was not involved. He's coming off 514 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: elbow surgery just five months ago. He announces to the 515 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: world that he's married, and he's still able to perform. 516 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at what he's done so far. 517 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: He's one of the best hitters in baseball. Still, I'm 518 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: not sure too many guys would be able to focus 519 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: on the game and be able to be able to 520 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: perform the way he has. So I think that has 521 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: been the most underappreciated thing about this whole situation and 522 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: just him becoming a Dodger, I mean, on top of 523 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: all the World Series expectations and talks, all that other 524 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: stuff and his personal life happened. 525 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, he can compartmentalize like the best of them. All 526 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: I care about is his dog. I don't care that 527 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 2: he got married. I'm just in love with Decoy and 528 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 2: I just want to hang out with Decoy. I don't 529 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: even care if I hang out with Showe. I want 530 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: to hang out with Decoy, Otani, Dave, the Dodgers went 531 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: and when opposing teams play them, it seems like that's 532 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 2: a measuring stick, if you will, for teams that are 533 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: playing the Dodgers. This is a big series this weekend 534 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: against the Atlanta Braves at home at Dodgers Stadium. Is 535 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 2: this a measuring stick for the Dodgers? They're usually a 536 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: measuring stick for other teams. Is this one for them? 537 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: I feel like it's for each other, right, I'm sure 538 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: the Braves want to see what the Dodgers have with 539 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: Otani and taoscar Hernandez fitting in with these group of 540 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: guys and at this The last time the Dodgers Embraves 541 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: faced each other was last September, right, and we were 542 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: talking about possible NLCS matchup. Well, it hasn't come to 543 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: fruition the last two years because both teams have been 544 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: knocked out in the NLDS. So we're all hoping, you know, 545 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: we get to see these two teams on the big 546 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: stage this year. And last September when they played each other, 547 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: it was kind of who's going to win the MVP. 548 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: This series is going to sway voters, even though it 549 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have one way or the other for Ronald 550 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: Uccuni Junior Mooky Bets, and at this point in time, 551 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts is having far and away the better season 552 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: than Ronald Acuna Junior. So I feel like for both 553 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: these teams. You know, there's always these spikes in a 554 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: long season where you get up for games a little 555 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: bit more than others. I don't know how you could 556 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: not get up for this game, and certainly the atmosphere 557 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium is probably going to bleed onto the field. 558 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: And going back to O'tani, right, everybody felt so bad 559 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: about Otani not having big games to play in or 560 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: playing in the postseason. Well, let's see what he does 561 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: in these three games, because it will be October goosebumps 562 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: in May at Dodger Stadium. So let's see if Otani 563 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: can deliver against the big bad Braves. Yeah. 564 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 3: I love you, Dave, I just love Where were you 565 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: during the B delay? 566 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: I had to do two hours of Dodger talk. During 567 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: the hour and fifth five minute B delay, I was 568 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: sitting there getting ready for the game, and the guy 569 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: covering the Dodgers for MLB dot Com at Chase Fields like, 570 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: oh boy, we're going to be here for a while. 571 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: I said, what he said, you see that bees? There's 572 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: bees right there. I'm allke is that really an issue? 573 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: And it turned out to be a huge issue. And 574 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, I have a friend that works at the 575 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: Tennis Channel and he said, you're going to be there 576 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: for a while because we had this happen in Indian 577 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: Wells in March and it took an hour and forty 578 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: minutes to get the bees out of there, to safely 579 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: vacuum them up, and to let them out in another 580 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: area of Arizona. So yeah, we were there for close 581 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: over an hour and forty minutes. So just come on, 582 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. 583 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 3: Matt Hilton is a superstar. 584 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 2: This guy is a folk hero, absolute sensation overnight. 585 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 3: He loved it. He lived it up, Dave. He was like, well, 586 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: look at me be keeper guy. 587 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 588 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: I really don't know that he really leaned into it. 589 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know, there's a lot of 590 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: eligible ladies out there that were really hot after Matt Hilton. 591 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm serious, everybody, and this could be the 592 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: most eligible pest control person there is in America right now. 593 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 4: There's absolutely a lot of buzz around him, for sure. 594 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 4: I don't know which was the bigger story, the beatkeeper 595 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 4: or or you going down the Milwaukee slide a couple 596 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 4: of years ago DV, but definitely one heeper. 597 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a lot better looking than I am. 598 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't have that chin. 599 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 5: But you know, hey, the cast. You know, chicks dig 600 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 5: the cast. We know that one as well. 601 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: Chicks also dig Mookie Betts as the starting shortstop for 602 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 4: the Dodgers. There were some folks who maybe were kind 603 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 4: of against Mookie Bets as a shortstop for a myriad 604 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 4: of reasons. He's never done it as a professor or 605 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 4: at least as a as a big leaguer, never really 606 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 4: played shortstop as a professional. Maybe that beats him up 607 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 4: over the course of the season. What do you like 608 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 4: about Mookie Bets? And I'll throw it out there. Is 609 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 4: it the right call to to just kind of let 610 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 4: him run there at short. 611 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: Well, it's the only call right now. They don't have 612 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: a better option at shortstop, and that's the reason why 613 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: he's there. The Dodgers don't believe Miguil Rojas can hold 614 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: up for our full season physically playing shortstop again there. Obviously, 615 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: Gavin Luz had the huge right knee reconstruction and the 616 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: throws just were not coming out there. And lux has 617 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: been great at second base defensively, so he's the only option. 618 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: And the very first day of spring training that I 619 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: saw Mookie always said is that I want to redeem 620 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: him myself from the last two years of October failures. 621 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: And he heard the criticism and he's all about winning. 622 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: And then all this comes up, and now Mookie Beds 623 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: has another chip on his shoulder because he has heard 624 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: the doubters out there and he is determined to prove 625 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: that he can play shortstop. Not just okay, He's out 626 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: there literally three hours before every game, taking ground balls 627 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: and doing everything he can to prove the doubters wrong 628 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: that he could play shortstop. 629 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 3: I love it. 630 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 2: I would never bet against Mookie Bets Dave. Before we 631 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: let you go, I wanted to ask you your opinion. 632 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: Hopefully you can still hear me. I wanted to ask 633 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: you your opinion about Matt Kemp. I mean, we knew 634 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: that he was done with the game of baseball. 635 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 3: Clinton. Hopefully we get Dave back in here. 636 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: We knew Matt was done with baseball, but he put 637 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: out a nice message yesterday on social media that said, 638 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: it's long overdue, but dear Baseball, thank you from the 639 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: bottom of my heart. We've covered Matt for a long time, Dave. 640 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: I've known Matt Kemp way before I was a Dodgers reporter. 641 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: What's the one thing you'll remember about. 642 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: Him twenty eleven, That's the biggest thing I'll remember. I mean, 643 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: that was one of the most incredible sequel seasons by 644 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: a Dodger, and I don't feel gets enough credit for 645 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: what he did. I mean, he was one stolen base 646 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: or one home run shy of forty forty. He probably 647 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: should have won the MVP. 648 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 3: That year, especially thanks for Ryan bron. 649 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially after we found that out. But the Dodgers 650 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: were in the McCourt vortex at the peak of that 651 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: with the bankruptcy and all that. The team wasn't very good, 652 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: and him and Krushaw were the two best players in 653 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: the National League and they just didn't get enough credit 654 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: for their seasons. I know Khrushaw won the Cy Young 655 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: that year, but Kemp certainly did not. So when people 656 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: say Matt camp twenty eleven's the first thing that comes up, 657 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: for sure, And I know talking to him in spring 658 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: training or right before, he was so happy that he 659 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: could have the type of year that he had in 660 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen when he came back to. 661 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt Kemp's special beast mode. I always appreciate my 662 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: time covering him. David Vesse, you have a gala to 663 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: get ready for my friends, and we appreciate you taking 664 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: the time to be with us today. 665 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 3: It's always great to see you. 666 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: Nobody knows the Dodgers better and nobody is respected by 667 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: their players better than David Vesse. 668 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 3: Appreciate you taking the time. We'll talk to you soon. 669 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: I got news for you, Alana. I don't have to 670 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: get ready that much. Maybe you shower him. 671 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 2: Please please at least put on deodoran, especially if you're 672 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 2: going to meet Ed Sheeran. 673 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 3: Get some deodoran on. Bess be better. Davidsse Am five 674 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 3: seventy does such a great job on Dodger talk.

But she is very, very pregnant, 682 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: so we are looking for a foster. The adopter is 683 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 2: just not in the position to be able to take 684 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: her through the pregnancy and the birth of the puppies 685 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: and all those things. 686 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: He wants to keep the dog. 687 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 2: He's keeping her, but he's just not a position to 688 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: be abled to go through that whole pregnancy and birthing process. 689 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 2: So we are looking for a qualified foster to be 690 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 2: able to take her in no cost to you.
