1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Well, I think with this team, it's just put your 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: egos aside and you have to do what's best for 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: the team. And that may be hard for some guys, 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: but it's not like this is coming out of left field. 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: Happy Opening Day, everybody, Happy New Year, Cheers to the 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: new year. 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 3: Cheers to the new season. 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: Welcome to Dodgers' territory, entering our second full season hosting 9 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: this podcast.

Happy New Year. 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: A lot of things to talk about. In the big ticket. 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 2: We're gonna be joined momentarily by Jill Pinter Lopez, who 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: does a great job covering the Dodgers among all of 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: the LA Sports teams, So we'll be joined by her momentarily. 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: But let's get into the big ticket. 20 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 4: Let's do it. 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: Happy to see Mooki Bets back in the Dodgers lineup. Obviously, 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: it was very concerning there for a time because he 23 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: was losing a ton of weight in a short period 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: of time. But he played in the final exhibition game 25 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: against the Angels. This via David Vesa. Great to see 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: Mooki there on the field taking some ground balls, and 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: you know, a healthy Mookie is great again. I want 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: to make sure he is okay, but you got to 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: feel good going forward with him the lineup. 30 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, even at a reduced weight. We know 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 5: what Mookie Bets can do on the field, what he 32 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 5: does for the lineup, extending the lineup and just helping 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 5: dudes feel more comfortable in their roles. Not that Tommy 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 5: Edmond struggled in his two game stint in that two hole, 35 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 5: But you gotta love seeing Mookie back in there. And 36 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 5: if he says he's ready to play, you gotta trust 37 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 5: the player. I'm still a little iffy about it, you know, 38 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 5: but I'm not Mookie Bets, and far from Mookie Bets. 39 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 5: I don't drive the same car Mooki Bets drives, and 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 5: you know I don't make the medical decisions for this team. 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 5: So happy to him in there. 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 43 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: It's weird though, right he was like losing all kinds 44 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: of weight, couldn't keep anything down. All of a sudden 45 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: he's ready to go. But whatever it was, they found 46 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: the magic potion and hopefully he is good to go. 47 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: Glad to see it, Glad to see that. Now here 48 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: we go domestic opening Day and it is the man, 49 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: Blake Snell. One of the biggest off season free agent acquisitions. 50 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: Snell Zilla is now on the hill for the Los 51 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers, making his official Dodger debut. 52 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 6: Expectations Clint, you know, it's funny when we talk Blake Snell, 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 6: because you do get two different versions of Blake Snell 54 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 6: that you get the cy Young Award, you know, winning version, 55 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 6: and you get the version that maybe puts up a 56 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 6: four and a half era. 57 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 5: I think Blake Snell at this point in time, he 58 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 5: signed early, really early with this team for a reason. 59 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 5: He wanted to be in a spot, he wanted to 60 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 5: be locked in, He wanted to work with this team. 61 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 5: I feel really really confident about this dude. Give him 62 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 5: the ball every fifth day and he's going to be 63 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 5: one of those guys who is in every fifth die, 64 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 5: every fifth day guy, as were somebody like Sasaki Yamamoto 65 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 5: eventually Showho Tani. They're going to be more on that 66 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 5: six man rotation. But this is a dude who assigned 67 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 5: to be that workhorse signed a post every fifth day, 68 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 5: given this team a lot of innings, and what better 69 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 5: way to make your debut but in front of fifty 70 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 5: five fifty six thousand at Dodger Stadium at four pm 71 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 5: on a Thursday afternoon. 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: Yeah it's funny too, because Jeremy Meyer Ore a great 73 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: producer and oftentimes director and man that has a billion 74 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: different hats, was saying, either way, you can't go wrong 75 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: with Blake Snell because either you're going to get the 76 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: two time cy Young Award winner, one in each league, 77 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: of course, or you're gonna get that. 78 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: Listen, we know that he's just. 79 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: A second half guy, right, So it's like, either way, 80 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: you're fine whether he pitches really good in the second 81 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: half of the season or you get the guy that 82 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: pitches really well all season long and wins perhaps his 83 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: third SI Young Award. 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: I'm fine with it. 85 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: You were saying, Clint, you're gonna need the cy Young 86 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: Blake Snell from the get go. 87 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would. I would love to see that version 88 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 5: of Blake Snell. I want to see the version that 89 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 5: I mean. If anything, I think for me personally, it's 90 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 5: just to kind of drag Padres fans down a little 91 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: bit more because they're not happy that he signed with 92 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 5: the Dodgers. Of course they take into some sort of 93 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 5: you know, slight against them, even though the Dodgers came 94 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 5: at Blake Snell with the most amount of money early 95 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 5: in the offseason and he was like, yeah, I don't 96 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 5: want to be a Dodger. I've wanted to be a Dodger. 97 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 5: So if he's really really good from the jump, you're 98 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 5: telling Padres fans a little subtle, you know, flipping a 99 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 5: bird towards them. And then same with the Giants, where, 100 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 5: let's be fair, he was dudo in the first half 101 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 5: of the season. Blake Snell would tell you the same thing. 102 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 5: Did not pitch well without a spring training. So that's 103 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 5: what I want to see. I want to see that 104 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 5: guy who's challenging the rest of that starting rotation as well. 105 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 5: Everybody in that starting five, starting six eventually needs to 106 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 5: be the best version of themselves. And we know a 107 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 5: lot of you know how starting pitchers are. They it's 108 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: a competition. It's an internal competition, who can get the 109 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 5: most wins, who's in the pitch mostly in his most strikeouts. 110 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 5: Blake Snell needs to be at the top of the 111 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 5: many of those leaderboard lists for this pitching staff. 112 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 3: What I love about it is that Blake Snell does 113 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 3: not have to be the man. 114 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: He has four other guys right behind him that can 115 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: carry the load, right. I mean I think a lot 116 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: of times, these guys that are winning these awards, I mean, 117 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: you know, every fifth day they're gonna for the most 118 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: part post to w But now it's like, you know. 119 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 3: What, just do your job, just worry about your day. 120 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: You don't need to have to be the stopper every 121 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: single time, right, because you have guys behind you that 122 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: can shove. That being said, I do really love this 123 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: pitching matchup tonight for the Los Angeles Dodgers because, Wow, 124 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: Trek Scooble going up against Blake Snell. I mean, that's 125 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: gonna be something really fun to watch. One of the 126 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: most exciting pitching matchups I think we could have as 127 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: far as Opening Day because Scooble obviously can shove. 128 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 5: I think I saw a note too. I should have 129 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: probably brought it up in our production meeting or remembered it, 130 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 5: but it was early in the morning when I saw it. 131 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 5: I think this is like the fourth time that the 132 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 5: raining Cy Young Award winner goes up against the reigning 133 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 5: World Series champions or something like that in baseball history. 134 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 5: So it's a really really cool set up, a really 135 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 5: really cool matchup. And you know, Trek schoobl longtime future, 136 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 5: former future Dodger or whatever you want to call him, 137 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 5: he was never going to be traded to LA last year. 138 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 5: But it's a great lidlifter at Dodger Stadium, which, by 139 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 5: the way, I underwent another one hundred million dollar renovation. 140 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 5: So I'm interested in asking Jill if she's seen any 141 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 5: of that stadium yet and what she can tell us 142 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: about the underbelly, because I'm sure you saw some of 143 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 5: the shots coming out of the ballpark. That place looks insane. 144 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: That clubhouse, oh my gosh, wait till you see the 145 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: shots of the Dodgers Clubhouse, the new Dodgers' Clubhouse. It's 146 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: just stupid. It's absolutely stupid in a really good way. 147 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: Before we get to welcome Jill Painter, Lopez, is the 148 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 2: starting rotation a little strange for the domestic opener. 149 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 3: I really thought it was going to. 150 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: Be Snell, Tyler glassnow, then Yamamoto and then Sasaki, But 151 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to be Yamamoto on Friday, 152 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: which is tomorrow, and then Sasaki is on Saturday. So 153 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: it looks like Tyler glassnow is going to face the braves. 154 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: Is that what we're waiting for? 155 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 5: It seems that way. You got that weird off day 156 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 5: on Sunday as well. That that just seems it seems 157 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 5: weird Dodgers need to be playing on Sundays. But that's 158 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 5: just me complaining right there, Sasaki on the Saturday, I 159 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 5: think that's the weird one. Glass. Now, what's going on 160 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 5: with Tyler there? Why they why did they decide to 161 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: push him back? Not questioning Dave Roberts in this front office, 162 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 5: of course, we've learned let's not do that too much 163 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 5: anymore moving forward, Although it does get us sit downs 164 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 5: with Doc. You know, I guess it is what it is. 165 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 5: And you have this much talent, throw it out there 166 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 5: and UH and to get keep Sasaki and Yamamoto back 167 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 5: to back, maybe that's something that's important for UH, for 168 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 5: the front office right now, for for Mark Pryor and company, 169 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 5: maybe that's what they want to do. But it's definitely 170 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 5: a little weird to have Glass now push so deep 171 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 5: into the season. 172 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also going to be weird too if Jack 173 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: Flaherty has a return to Dodger Stadium as a member 174 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: of the Tigers, because they haven't announced their rotation yet, 175 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: So that is a tv D all right, before we 176 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: welcome in Jill Painter Lopez to talk all things Los 177 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers.

Joe, welcome, great to have you on the show. 205 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: An even better thing to talk about is the fact 206 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 2: that Mookie Bets is back in the lineup. And anytime 207 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: you can have a Mooky Bets at the top of 208 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: your lineup, it proves to be a good day. 209 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 3: Happy New Year, my friend. 210 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: Happy Opening Day, Happy New Year, happy everything you celebrate. Alana, 211 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: and thanks so much for having me on it first time, 212 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: so happy to be on it. It's such a you 213 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: you're saving me for opening day? Oh geez, well it's 214 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: a yeah, so gonna have something. I will be celebrating 215 00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: with my I. 216 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 4: What is it? 217 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: Bila a latte and the Dodger press box later today. 218 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: But so you're right, Alana in terms of having MOOKI back, 219 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: and he proclaimed himself healthy, But I am very hesitant 220 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: to say Mookie's back. I mean, when you're talking about 221 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: losing twenty five pounds, and you guys know this as well, 222 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: I think everybody's a little hesitant. He said he was 223 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: fine yesterday the day before. I mean, he's talked about 224 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: how he obviously can't hold any food down. He was 225 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: at one seventy five now playing at one point fifty. 226 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: Can your body he says, his body's fine, it's just 227 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: his stomach, But can your body really withstand that trauma 228 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: for two or three weeks and boom just be right 229 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: back at it, you know, playing nine innings a day 230 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: every day. I don't know. It's a grueling schedule, and 231 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm worried about him, first of all, for his health. 232 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: Hopefully they've figured it out, But I don't know, concern 233 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: for him. 234 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, it might be a little weird in the first 235 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: couple of weeks here. Thankfully, the Dodgers do have a 236 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 5: number of off days. We were just talking Sundays and 237 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 5: off day. I think every Thursday is off. There's a 238 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: Monday mixed off mixed in there. So even if we 239 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 5: do have Mookie playing five, six, seven innings, something he 240 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 5: doesn't want to do, to do that slow ramp up, 241 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 5: I think he let us all know it's more important 242 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 5: that he's in that lineup rather than on the il, 243 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 5: or rather than still throwing up every couple of couple 244 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: of meals or not every meal, was what he was 245 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 5: kind of talking about. But it's a it's a special 246 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 5: day coming up at Dodger Stadium. Of course, Opening Day. 247 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: We've talked a whole lot about it. How how does 248 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 5: this team kind of come back from all the pomp 249 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 5: and circumstance that happened this past October. You play the Yankees, 250 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 5: you're on this adrenaline rush, such a high, and now 251 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: you're coming back down to Earth. You do spring training, 252 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 5: you go to Japan, you get the juices flowing there. 253 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: Now you're coming back home. They push ring ceremony day 254 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 5: back one day, because there's already enough excitement about about 255 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 5: Opening Day itself. Just what's kind of the poll that 256 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 5: you've seen from this team and the excitement level to 257 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 5: get through this and kind of get on that train 258 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 5: towards the road to repeat. 259 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: Well, I think the Dodgers have had to deal with 260 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: this for years. I mean you look at the Alana 261 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: who has covered the team for a long time. They've 262 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: had a target on their back just to being the 263 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: power in the NL West. So a big exhale after 264 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: the Japan trip. I know some of those guys are 265 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: still dealing with the jet lag, as you saw from 266 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: your interview with the Kei k Hernandez, So you know 267 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: it's going to be like this is all season. It's 268 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: a bit of a circus covering this team because there's 269 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: just so much interest internationally. They are a global team 270 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: now you see it by every day, the latest partners 271 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: that they have signed from Japan. Everybody wants to be 272 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: part of this team. So a lot of veterans, you know, 273 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: some young talent there as well, but a lot of 274 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: veterans I think will carry this and especially from the 275 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: top with Dave Roberts, they're used to this. I think 276 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: they're going to be fine, but certainly you can't blame 277 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: them if they are coming into opening day a little 278 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: bit in the need of a caffeine hype. 279 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: Jill, you had mentioned all of the Japanese partnerships, which 280 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense when you have shohe Otani 281 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: on your team, Yoshiinobu Yamamoto on your team, Roki Sasaki 282 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: on your team. 283 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: But let's talk about how they. 284 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: Manage three Japanese born pitchers in that starting rotation. Obviously 285 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: show hey, not quite ready to throw off the mound 286 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,359 Speaker 2: yet in a big league game. But you have Yamamoto 287 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: who's throwing on Saturday, and you have our Friday rather 288 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: and you have Roki Sasaki in the mix as well. 289 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: So how do you manage a starting rotation where you 290 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: have guys that are accustomed to going every sixth day 291 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: but also want to maintain the regularity of a Blake 292 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: Snell who throws tonight and a Tyler Glasnow who looks 293 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: to be thrown on Monday. 294 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Well, I think with this team it's just put your 295 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: egos aside and you have to do what's best for 296 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: the team, and that may be hard for some guys, 297 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: but it's not like this is coming out of left field. 298 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: They know they're going to have to do this. So 299 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: many Japanese pitchers that you mentioned are used to pitching 300 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: every sixth day. That's how it's been for show Heyo Tani. 301 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: It throws a little bit of a wrinkle that Mark 302 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: Pryor and Dave Roberts are going to have to work 303 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: around when you put in Yamamoto and Rochi. But you 304 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: know what, it's a good problem to have. I think 305 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: Snell and Glass now those are great clubhouse guys as 306 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: we know, so they'll be able to work around that. 307 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: And then you have so many other guys in line 308 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: or in waiting. When Clayton Kershaw comes back, you look 309 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: at a Gonsolin obviously a dustint may. I mean, he's 310 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: just he's probably just gonna be happy to be back 311 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: out on a mound after the recovery that he's had. 312 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: So again, it's just going to be egos aside, and 313 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: everybody is going to have to be flexible. 314 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 5: With a new season here, there's different things we're watching 315 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 5: for a team trying to become the first team to 316 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 5: repeat in twenty five years or whatever. 317 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: It is. 318 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 5: What are let's say some people weren't watching every move 319 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 5: this team make made in the offseason. What are three 320 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 5: storylines besides Mooki's illness and coming back from that. Three 321 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 5: storylines you're watching over the first month plus of the 322 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 5: season that you think fans should also be keeping an 323 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 5: eye on. 324 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Well, First and foremost is obviously going to be show 325 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: Hao Tani. Is he going to be able to have 326 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: another MVP season. We know that he's kind of ramped 327 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: down his pitching a little bit, and perhaps that's coinciding 328 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: with the first month of the season. Does not look 329 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: like he is going to be pitching on a mount 330 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: in May anymore, So that's going to be pushed back. 331 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: I love that. I mean, this guy was just amazing 332 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: last year, a fifty to fifty season, and just having 333 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: come off going to his birthplace and playing in front 334 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: of the fans and hitting a homer in Tokyo. I 335 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: mean it just what he's dealt with has been a lot, 336 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: for sure. So just wanted to say, obviously, shoheo Tonni 337 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: and foremost the storyline. And then you look at Amokie 338 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: you mentioned him. I think he and Freddy are going 339 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: to be a big storylines. Can they stay healthy, Can 340 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: they be in that lineup every day? They certainly you know, 341 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: the Dodgers put a premium on infield, infield or sorry, 342 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: players being versatile right play the infield, the outfield. You 343 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: got Rojas, you got keik It, you got Tommy Edmonds. 344 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: Everybody can play multiple positions, and I think that is 345 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: going to be key over this first month, first month stretch. 346 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: I agree with you, Jill. 347 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: One thing we like to talk about too is, I mean, 348 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: barring catastrophe, I think the Dodgers are going to the postseason. 349 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: I'm really going out on a limb by saying that. 350 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this though, around the league, who 351 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: do you think would be the biggest challenger for the Dodgers, 352 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: not only in the National League, but when the Dodgers 353 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: get to the World Series, Jill Painter Lopez, who's the 354 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: biggest competition for them? 355 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we just might find the biggest comp petition 356 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: in the NL West, as you said a lot of 357 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: last year. If you can get past the Padres, which 358 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: they did by the hair and their chinny tinchin. If 359 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: you can do that, you've got the rest of the 360 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: road cleared for you. I think that's the case. Again, 361 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: you look at the NL West and pitching is what 362 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: does it for me in terms of how far a 363 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: team is going to go if you have a great rotation. 364 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: Everybody saved the poor Colorado Rockies, I mean, my goodness, 365 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: losing a combined two hundred and four games. All the 366 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: pitching in the NL West went to the all other 367 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: four teams. So I think it's it's gonna be the Padres. 368 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: But you look at I'm gonna name drop here, Arizona, 369 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: Corbyn burn Zach Allen, Meryl Kelly. You look at the Giants, 370 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: Web Verlander, Robbie made Jordan Hicks, Hayden Burns, Song, the Padres, 371 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: Michael King, Dylan sees Starvish who's starting on the IL 372 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: and then their offensive lineup? Oh my goodness, So Luisa Rise, 373 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: Merril Jackson, Croyn and we're talk he's junior. Machado, Potterys 374 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: have everything. But I think that second place in the 375 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: NL West is going to be the most amazing race 376 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: to watch in Major League Baseball this season. 377 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 5: I think it's pretty easy to imagine the one of 378 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 5: the top three or one of the top two wild 379 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 5: card spots coming out of that NL West, the NL Best, 380 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 5: as we call it around here, very very good division. 381 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 5: We saw it helps the Dodgers win. The competition around 382 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 5: them is good. The Dodgers play better. They weren't as 383 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 5: flat heading into last postseason, and then it ultimately worked 384 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 5: out as opposed to a team going out there winning 385 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: one hundred eleven games, having all of this supreme talent 386 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 5: and then just kind of flatlining against a division opponent. There. Listen, 387 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 5: we can sit here and all pretty much book the 388 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 5: fact that the Dodgers are going to win the NL West. 389 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 5: We know that just about getting through one hundred and 390 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 5: sixty two games, one hundred and sixty more at this point, 391 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 5: how do you, as somebody that covers this team, how 392 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 5: do you keep things spicy? How do you keep it 393 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 5: entertaining for yourself but also people watching your content and 394 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 5: keeping up with this team along the way. 395 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it's fun to watch a winner, isn't it 396 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: That There's always gonna be storylines. There's so many personalities 397 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: on this team. Again, you look at a Clayton Kershaw 398 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: who's been with the team for almost two decades, when 399 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: does he come back? How does Dustin May fare this 400 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: year after the injuries, Gonsolin of course coming back as well, 401 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: and then you look at the bullpen shrine in and 402 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,719 Speaker 1: of course you look at those new guys like Tanner Scott, 403 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: how does he fit in? I just think there's so 404 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: many storylines like that. And then of course the three 405 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: Japanese pitchers. We've got perhaps a Shoho Tani watch for 406 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: he and his wife's new baby. We've got decoy watch. 407 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think there's always something right. I mean, 408 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm always interested to see decoy and if I can 409 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: spot him from this suite and maybe. 410 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: The next, you and me, both you and me both, 411 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 2: I tell you, decoy for me is I'll pay attention 412 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: to well, of course, any dog, but that that dog 413 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: any day. But I have a question for you, Jill, 414 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 2: about Miguel Rojas. I mean, this is a guy that 415 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: Clinton and I have a tremendous amount of respect for. 416 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: I don't want to put words in your mouth, but 417 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: I wanted your take. And I'm not certain that you 418 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: may have seen the article written that Jazz Chisholm of 419 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 2: the now New York Yankees had a little bit to 420 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: say about the negativity he felt when Miguel Rojas was 421 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: a member of the Marlins, just to kind of the 422 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: you know, the hierarchy, if you will, a veteran player 423 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: versus rookie. I have never since that with Miguel Rojas 424 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: to be anything other than an unbelievable teammate and an 425 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: unbelievable clubhouse guy. You've been around this game a long 426 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: time and you've covered a variety of clubhouses and a 427 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: lot of different sports. What is your take on how 428 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas is received in that Dodgers' clubhouse. 429 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: I mean he's received as one of those leaders, just 430 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: like a Kershaw, like a Will Smith like I mean 431 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Will Smith more of a quiet leader. Of course, a 432 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: Mookie Bett's more of a quiet leader as well, but 433 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys. He's a little bit more 434 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: a demonstrative. I was certainly surprised to see some of 435 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: those nuggets, if you will, in that story ruining the cleats, 436 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: a couple of those cleats that were designed by Chisholm. 437 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: I believe when they talked about having he wanted to 438 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: make sure, according to him, that the rookie was sort 439 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: of put in his place. Haven't seen anything like that, 440 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: if that's all correct, And certainly you have to value 441 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: Chisholm's feelings, and that's how he felt with Miguel. But 442 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: I think Miguel has matured and certainly that kind of 443 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,239 Speaker 1: behavior would not work in the Dodgers clubhouse. There's too 444 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: many leaders in there, too many Freddie Freeman's and again 445 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw's that keep everything in check. And that's why 446 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: you don't see them signing some of these guys that 447 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: were made or that were available, rather that have questionable 448 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: characteristics or have questionable times in the Dodgers clubhouse. So 449 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, all the guys that they signed, the popular 450 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: guys like the Kiki and the tao Oscars, of bringing 451 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: them back, it's because they all fit into that clubhouse. 452 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: So again, I don't think I haven't heard anything like 453 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: that about the Miggy here in LA. And again I 454 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: just assume it's a kind of a trajectory of maturing 455 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: and that that stuff's not going to fly in LA. 456 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jill, I couldn't agree with you more. 457 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: You said, You said it perfectly there before we let 458 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: you go, Not to put you on the spot, but 459 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: just your prediction in terms of win losses for the 460 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: two thousand and I know that you are impartial, you 461 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: are actually a journalist, You're not a homer like cent 462 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: and I are. So your win lost record for the 463 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers, what is it? 464 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: Woof? I hadn't thought about that. You know, there's gonna 465 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: be some some pressure with trying to get the back 466 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: to back, There's going to be some injuries, and you know, 467 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: so I don't know, i'd say about one hundred and 468 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: four hundred and five wins, I don't, you know, I 469 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to do any of this one 470 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty win win business. But you know, it's 471 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: just all a push to win the World Series. So 472 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: anything over one hundred, of course a bonus. Can I 473 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: tell you what my biggest surprise of the day is, 474 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: of course get in price? The get in price for 475 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: the Dodgers one thirty eight, like minimum that it wasn't 476 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: even number out one on the list today. Can somebody 477 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: explain to me why Cincinnati had the highest get in 478 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: price by far because. 479 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: It's opening opening Day and Gavin Blocks. 480 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: Opening Day in Cincinnati is legitimately a national holiday, like 481 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: they sell it out every year at Great American Small 482 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: Park every single year. And then game two of the season, 483 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: there's seven people in the stands. It's a very weird 484 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 2: phenomenon in Cincinnati. 485 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: It's like it is. 486 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: It is a massive, massive day to day for them, 487 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 2: and then like the rest of the season, you can't 488 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: give away seats. It's insane. Jill Pain and Lopez always 489 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: doing a tremendous job. Enjoy the game, enjoy covering its 490 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: t this year. Thanks for being with us. We appreciate it. 491 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: Thank you both, appreciate you. 492 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 5: That was a lot of fun there. 493 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 3: Alana, Yeah, she's she's a great girl.

I have a hard time. I want 522 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 5: to see both sides of the story. I would like 523 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 5: to see Mickey Rose retort to this, because we did 524 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 5: get a version the last time this sort of headline 525 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 5: made its way into the ethos here. I don't want 526 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 5: to say I have a hard time believing it, But 527 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 5: there has to be something more to it. On the 528 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 5: Miguel Rojas I mean, if that was his method of 529 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 5: tough love for the Miami Marlins, maybe, But knowing Miguel Rojas, 530 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: We've talked to him on the show before, talked to 531 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 5: him in the clubhouse, I've talked to him before even 532 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 5: doing this show. He's just such a good character, dude. 533 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 5: I've never heard any sort of player say a single 534 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 5: bad thing about Miguel Rojas. There's one player that's saying 535 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 5: something bad about Miguel Rojas. So there's something fishy to me. 536 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 537 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 2: You know, the twenty fourteen Dodger team had a lot 538 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 2: of massive, massive personalities and a lot of massive, massive egos, 539 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: and I think when the new ownership group took over, 540 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 2: a lot was placed on character of dudes. And all 541 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: I needed to know is that Miguel Rojas came, went 542 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: and they brought him back. You know what I mean, 543 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: Like if you bring a player back that says something special, 544 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: Like if you bring a tay Oscar back, that says 545 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 2: something special. Key, k those guys that you want in 546 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: that clubhouse to make sense, because Kershaw's not going to 547 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: deal with any bullshit. Justin Turner is not going to 548 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: deal with any bullshit when he was here. So and 549 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: don't think for one second these veteran players aren't asked 550 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: about a guy when when the front office goes out 551 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: to want to sign somebody. You don't think they did 552 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: their their work on Blake Snell. You don't think they questioned, 553 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: you know, the integrity and the character of Tanner Scott 554 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: or Kirby Eight's. Of course they did. So anyway, that's 555 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: all I have to say about that. What's coming up 556 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 2: on All Dodgers with Clint Pacius tonight. 557 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 5: I'd say to add one thing on Miguil Rohass too 558 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 5: is the reason they basically immediately extended him as well 559 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: after bringing him back, like it's just the type of 560 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 5: dude you want in your clubhouse. But anyways, more about me. 561 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 5: We are actually going to be live today doing a 562 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 5: watch along on the channel, So guys, there is the 563 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 5: name of the channel.
