Speaker 1: This is what we wanted to see. This is the

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: lineup we've been waiting for. And Clinton, you and I

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: have been preaching patient, be patient, It's gonna happen. Hello everybody,

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: As we get into the big ticket, we asked for

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: a sweep against the Rockies.

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: We got it.

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: We got it. Let's dive into it. In the big ticket.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: Suddenly winners of four in a row. Are they back?

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, I did the the Postgame

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Show solo on Tuesday because of reasons, couldn't couldn't land

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: the person I was hoping to get. It was a

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: fun show. It felt different. That was a ballgame on

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: Tuesday night that felt different. Nothing changed on Wednesday. It's

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: a game that felt different from the slop we had

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: been watching over the last couple of months. Yes, people

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: want to say, oh, it was the Rockies. Of course,

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: you're supposed to sweep the Rockies. Let's not forget they

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: were playing very poorly against the Rockies just a couple

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: of weeks before they were swept by the Angels. The

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: Dodgers were doing bad against bad teams, and Alana, We've

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: talked about it. You got to beat bad teams. They

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: did it. The difference a few wins makes, and the

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: difference just I mean, I don't want to just point

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: to Mooki because obviously, like we got to talk about

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: Mooki Betts and his resurgence. His resurgence started a month

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: ago where they were still playing pretty poorly. Some of

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: this is I think just things firing at the right time.

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: But getting Max Monsey bat Tommy Edmund back, getting taoscar

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: Hernandez doing something again. But it's I feel better. I

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: just feel a lot better.

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: It is, yeah, no doubt. I mean, they did what

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: they needed to do.

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: You're supposed to beat the teams that have terrible records.

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: That is a sign of a better team. If you're

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: struggling against those teams, that's a very frustrating outcome. But

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't care if it was the Rockies. I don't

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: care if it was the Phillies. The fact is they

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: got three wins. And what a difference a few winds make. Right,

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: You're just so excited. The atmosphere is better, the energy

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: is better, the guys are feeling good. And yes, let's

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: talk about the bounce back in a short period of

58
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: time of Mooki bets Clint because you look at it

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: and a month ago he basically said, you know what,

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: He threw his hands in the air. He said, I'm

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: going to give up on my season statistically. Obviously I

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: am paraphrasing.

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: This is not.

64
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Exactly what Mooki said, but the point being was He's like,

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to worry about stats. I'm going to

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: do everything I can to contribute to the team. And

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: you just threw the numbers up there. Mooki is back,

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: and it's great to see because that's just one piece

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: of this puzzle that is so desperately needed to perform well.

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, we do have some reinforcements. The

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: fact is, you talk about Max Munsey, and we have

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: talked about this a nauseum, how he is just that

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: center cog in the lineup. He puts everybody else where

74
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be. He forces the opposition to throw

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: a lot of pitches. He has unbelievable plate disciplines.

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: So he's back.

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond is back, which is phenomenal because then you

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: can put him in the outfield, you can put him.

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: In a second base.

80
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: You could kind of figure out if you're going to

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: put Tao in left, if you're going to you know

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: who's going to be and right that type of situation.

83
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: We have a super chat from Richard Flores one ninety nine.

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Super chat says, Tao is back. I can wear his

85
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: jersey in public. Oh okay, So apparently he had a

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Hernandez jersey that he was hiding for a little bit

87
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: until Tayo was back. But the point is we're getting reinforcements, right.

88
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: This is what we wanted to see. This is the

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: lineup we've been waiting for. And Clinton, you and I

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: and everybody else that does these type of shows have

91
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: been telling, have been preaching patients, be patient.

92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: It's going to happen when this happens. And this happened. Now.

93
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: Now the question is what's the production going to be?

94
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: Right?

95
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if they're back, if they're not producing,

96
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: But the fact is they are back, and I'm pretty

97
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: sure that this is the most complete product we've seen

98
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: in some time as far as the Dodgers are concerned.

99
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said it best there. We were waiting for this,

100
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: we were preaching this, maybe maybe more myself than you.

101
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put you know words in your

102
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: mouth here, but you know that that low point, that

103
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: rock bottom over Saturday, and the probably a couple of

104
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: weeks leading up to that point, you know, I had

105
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: some doubts. I had some fears in my team. I

106
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: didn't want to see us waste an entire season, uh,

107
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: waste all of this talent to get bounce in the

108
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 3: first round or second round not even make it to

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: the World series. It's part of the story. I'll say

110
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: it again, that's part of the story. They you know,

111
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: I get knocked down, get back up again. Never gonna

112
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: keep you down. These Dodgers are gonna, you know, they're

113
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: gonna find a way to fight and battle back. And

114
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: like you said, they just needed the talent back, They

115
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: needed all their pieces back. One guy still struggling a

116
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: little bit, William Dill Smith.

117
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: Of course, stretch before we get to that, Before we

118
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: discuss will Smith, throw up owl of Minerva's comment here

119
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: about Alexia. It is the one that says aagram for

120
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: I save. I can't believe I didn't either.

121
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't realize that either. I save that.

122
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: Wow, godly, hold on wait, I'm gonna wake up, wake

123
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: up my soundboard for this.

124
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're happy that you're here, and thank you for

125
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: pointing that out, all right, William Smith.

126
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it is problematic.

127
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that all start obviously

128
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: scratched minutes before first pitch injured right hand flared up

129
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: on this from our friend Matthew Moreno does a great job,

130
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts said, will Smith might have an MRI on

131
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: his right hand Marrow.

132
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: That's not good.

133
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: That's not good.

134
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. When you have a catcher that is such

135
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: a good offensive catcher and does such a great job

136
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: obviously leading the pitching staff, having to have an MRI,

137
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: it gives me the he begbis. I don't like that.

138
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's not ideal. Obviously, he got back in

139
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: the lineup for one game. He was penciled into the

140
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: lineup yesterday. I think it was they said like fifteen

141
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: minutes before first pitch. Is when he was scratched. Ben

142
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: rhurt Vett had just woken up from a nap and

143
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: was plugged in to go out there and catch Blake

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: Snell and did a hell of a job doing it.

145
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Blake Snell rattled off eleven k's in his outing last night.

146
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: This situation combined with the play of Ben rhet Vett, Yeah,

147
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: we're worried about Will Smith. This is a pretty big concern. Luckily,

148
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: there's still a little bit of time. There's nothing broken

149
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: in there. It's just about pain tolerance and getting the

150
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: swelling down. So if we'll need to take a few days.

151
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 3: What I've seen out of this kid, Ben Rurtvett. I

152
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: like what a lot of people have seen out of

153
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: this kid, Ben Rotvett in just seven games. I think

154
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: they like as well. And yeah, the numbers probably inflate

155
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: a little bit. You know, he's he's finding some holes,

156
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: he's finding some grass, hitting three oh eight or whatever.

157
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: But I love this from a Dodgers burner on the Twitter.

158
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: Is anybody else impressed by the way he's performed behind

159
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: the dish? That's the big thing? H what is it?

160
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: A pair of no hitter attempts in his seven starts.

161
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: He doesn't have options Dalton Rushing does. And with this

162
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: is I mean, this is I don't know if it's

163
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: big brain to pine in the sky or whatever. With

164
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: the Will Smith catching situation, I do wonder if they

165
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: would consider carrying three catchers. I think Ben Worfett has

166
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: been so good behind the dish he deserves. I mean

167
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: to have this conversation.

168
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: It's seven games.

169
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: It's seven games, and he's done a nice job and

170
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: that's time that he's been given. But I don't know

171
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: if I'm automatically putting him on the postseason roster. I

172
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: need to see a little bit more, and I also

173
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: see I need to see what happens with Will Smith.

174
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the deal, though, If there is three catchers,

175
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: which it's rare for anybody to carry three catchers on

176
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: a postseason roster, what happens. Who goes away? Is that Conforto?

177
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: Is that Hassan Skim?

178
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

179
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: What are we doing? I mean, I don't know.

180
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean we're going to carry thirteen pitchers. Dave has

181
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: been very vocal about that, so you got to have

182
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, is it thirteen? I would be thirteen on

183
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: the other side too, because it's a twenty six man roster. Yeah,

184
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: so I don't know who goes away. Carrying three catchers

185
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: is weird to me?

186
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: Having a backup catcher, multiple backup catchers just.

187
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: A necessity, then so be it.

188
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, I think I think the only thing

189
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: that makes it a potential option is the fact that

190
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: Will is dealing with this hand issue and if you're

191
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: able to, you know, give him some rest early in

192
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: a game in the postseason where maybe you have a

193
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 3: big lead, or if there's some sort of issue that

194
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: aggriva and you have to pull them out. What is

195
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: the cost benefit of having and adult I would say,

196
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing, is you know, potentially a pretty good bat

197
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: off the bench to have as well. I don't know

198
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: if if I take him, you know, pinch hitting over

199
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: Michael Confordo or a hess On Kim or whatever. You know,

200
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: with Kim, you get wheels, you get defense. For sure.

201
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: I think this is something Obviously we're not going to

202
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: answer it here. We're not going to figure it out.

203
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: We're not paid to figure that one out. But it

204
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: is an interesting conversation that I'm pretty sure this front

205
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: office is having it. Whether it's worth while to carry

206
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: three catchers.

207
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: I don't want it.

208
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody on the postseason roster at fifty percent.

209
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: Like if Will Smith is at fifty percent, I don't

210
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: want you. I don't want you on the DS roster.

211
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Get better, get fully r you know, fully better get

212
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. We'll see in the CS, you know.

213
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I just I'd rather carry an extra bat off the

214
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: bench that can actually hit.

215
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. It's not Confordo, but.

216
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: I I don't want uh, like somebody that can't be

217
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: full go in the postseason. Like if you're babying one

218
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: of the catchers because of ailments or whatever, just put

219
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: him on the aisle.

220
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, obviously they're trying to avoid that with Will,

221
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: but if he needs to take ten days, you know,

222
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: ten of these last what is it, seventeen games? I

223
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: think it's not the end of the world. You can technically,

224
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: you know, retroactive it to yesterday get a couple bonus

225
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: days out of there. It's a question, it's definitely a

226
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: question worth worth asking. Like again, it's the cost benefit

227
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: of having three catchers in the postseason. We're in a

228
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: best case scenario, you don't need a backup catcher in

229
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: the postseason. Is this way over glorifying what Ben Rhttvett

230
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: has done? Have we talked about Ben Rurtvett for too long? Absolutely?

231
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: But we got it. I mean it's been seven games.

232
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: God bless him.

233
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 3: I mean, let's see he's specifically in this segment.

234
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: Oh yes, well that's fine. I mean, that's okay, no worries.

235
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: But how about we do a what is the spears summer?

236
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Vett has done more in seven games and can oh well, oh,

237
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: farus Cius, I'm gonna need you to change your avatar.

238
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: I need to know what you look like. All right.

239
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: How about we take a look at our draft Kings

240
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: player spotlight. And it's not just a player, Clint, it

241
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: is play yet take us to it.

242
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: This is the draft Kings player spotlight. And yeah, we

243
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: got to talk about that starting rotation because Alana, we

244
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: entered spring training looking at arguably the most dominant starting

245
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: rotation in baseball, and then we didn't see it for months.

246
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: Now we're seeing it, and this rotation is on an

247
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: absolute heater.

248
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they look at what they've done. If

249
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: you take a look at the numbers in their last

250
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: five starts. This from Blake Harris, we appreciate you, Blake,

251
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Unbelievable, right, obviously we know it was very

252
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: close to a no hitter. I still have an issue

253
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: with Andy pay Has on his defense with that game, Clayton.

254
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: I mean, welcome back, sir, goat of all time. We'll

255
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: see next to Cooper's on Tyler glasnow seven innings, one

256
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: earned run, eleven case.

257
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: Look at all the CA's.

258
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: I think that's what's so impressive about this whole graphic

259
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: here that Blake put out. I mean, look at the case.

260
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: That's that's that's really nice. That's what you want. You

261
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: want this even Emma, she and God bless them. Seven innings,

262
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: just one earned run, nine case. I mean, that's that's

263
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: a good performance for that young man.

264
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: So you're right.

265
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean the Dodgers in their last five starts to

266
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: deserve the you know, to be highlighted and spotlighted thanks

267
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: to Draft Kings. Over the last five games, Dodgers starting

268
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: pitchers have wracked up forty nine strikeouts, yeah, while holding

269
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: their opponents to a.

270
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: Point zero nine to one batting average.

271
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: Just from off to stats, It's the only time in

272
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: the modern era any Major League baseball team starter have

273
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: not forty five or more k's with the sub one

274
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: hundred opponent batting average over any five That's impressive. I

275
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: think that's a very good Draft Kings spotlight that. Let's

276
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: put them some pub and some love.

277
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: You got five dudes who can absolutely get it done.

278
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: Obviously show hey O Todi, you could argue has the

279
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: best stuff out of any of the pitchers when it

280
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: comes to just raw stuff. Raw talent not featured in

281
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: those five because he pitched a shorter outing in his

282
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: last game. This is the starting rotation we wanted, This

283
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 3: is the starting rotation we were expecting, and Mitchian, God

284
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: bless him. As phenomenal as he's been. Is probably not

285
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: in the starting rotation in the postseason, but he's still

286
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: going to be an electric weapon out of the bullpen

287
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 3: for this team in October. But one of the big

288
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: factors for me in getting this starting rotation settled, what

289
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: was the return to Blake Snell. We got the numbers

290
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: here to make up this elite rotation. Since August second,

291
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: which is Blake Snell's first start off of the IL

292
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: three two four era, that's second in all of baseball

293
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: behind the Yankees by the way Yankees insane starting rotation,

294
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: but first in the National League two point nine FIP,

295
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: which is first in baseball. They've posted five point eight

296
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: FanGraph war over that stretch. That's thirty six games, two

297
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: hundred and three innings pitched, ten point six four strikeouts

298
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 3: per nine, also tops in baseball.

299
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: This and needs that are impressive.

300
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: You don't even realize that, Yeah, you don't realize that

301
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: at the time, like when he's pitching every fifthday or whatever,

302
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: really how dominant. But when you see a bigger pool

303
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: of his work that it's impressive what he's been able

304
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: to do.

305
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: Again, Kudos to.

306
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: You Dodgers starting rotation, and also kudos to Draft Kings.

307
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Thank you to Draft Kings for presenting this segment on

00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: A lot of the Dodgers have a three game lead

325
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: in the National League West. Again, the Padres are kind

326
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: of spy. I wouldn't say they're spiraling. They have some injuries,

327
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: they aren't playing as well of late, but things of

328
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: the National League West kind of settling back in the Dodgers' favor,

329
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: especially after winning four in a row.

330
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy, too to think that we're already tracking down

331
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: magic numbers. And Bill Plunkett, our friend of the program,

332
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: writes a very long time for the Orange County Register. Dodgers'

333
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: magic number to clinch and All West is fourteenth. I mean,

334
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: we are at that spot right, which is awesome to see.

335
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: I love scoreboard watching. I love this time of year.

336
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: It's so much fun because every game has so many

337
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: implications and every game matters. Fourteen games doesn't seem like much,

338
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, the Dodgers a three game lead in the division.

339
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm not counting out this the San Francisco Giants, though,

340
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team that is playing very well.

341
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: They are on the mets heels, as are the Reds.

342
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the Mets may not make the postseason at

343
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: this point, who knows, because they have been absolutely spiraling

344
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: and the Mets pitching has been horrific. However, to see

345
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a three game lead, you know Ken

346
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Rosenthal today on Foul Territory the other day was talking

347
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: about the probably too insurmountable, like, you know, I don't know,

348
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: three games is not that much, but maybe it is

349
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: at this time of year because the calendar is kind

350
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: of running out. But listen, I want the Giants to

351
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: lose so badly for a number of reasons. Obviously for us,

352
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: it's just you know, I would I wouldn't mind seeing

353
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: the Reds in the postseason.

354
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: I like the Reds. Why not?

355
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's an interesting that final wildcard spot.

356
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: It's an interesting battle for sure, And obviously I feel

357
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: pretty good in the NL West. When it comes to

358
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and Giants, a lot can change considering they

359
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: play each other seven times over. Was it about ten

360
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: days starting tomorrow? Ye, Dodgers, you know you have the advantage.

361
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: Just don't lose all of those games, and you're gonna

362
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: feel pretty good about your spot in the National League West.

363
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, that final wildcard spot, it's crazy with the

364
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 3: Reds right there two games behind, along with the Giants

365
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: two games behind the Mets, who, like you said, they're

366
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: absolutely spiraling, and all three of those teams go ahead.

367
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm Sorry, what's crazy is the Reds hold the tiebreaker

368
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: over the Mets and the Giants, and that insane.

369
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: That is weird power. Hey, listen, Gavin Lux is a winner,

370
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: is a proven winner, baby, That's what I'm talking about.

371
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: But yeah, all of those, all of those teams, all

372
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: three of those teams are potential opponents for the Dodgers

373
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: if and when we get to the postseason in that

374
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 3: first wild card round, because as of right now, I mean,

375
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: you look at where the Phillies are at. The Phillies

376
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 3: have a four game advantage over the Dodgers for that

377
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: second seed in the National League. So I'm as much

378
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: as I wanted that first round by, I don't know

379
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: that it's happening this year. Of course, Dodgers Phillies play

380
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: three more times. Maybe there's something there. But yeah, if

381
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: things were to end today, the Dodgers play the Mets.

382
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: Dodgers lost the season series to the Mets this year.

383
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: Take with that whatever you will. Of course, Phillies and

384
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 3: the Brewers get that first round by. But if you

385
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: I guess, if you had your choice of it, you

386
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: do you want the Dodgers to face the Mets, the

387
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: Reds or the Giants in a three game we first series.

388
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: I'd love to face the Reds. I think they're the

389
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: weakest link out of all four of those teams that

390
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned. I know they're playing well, but I just

391
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take I'll take my chances with the Reds.

392
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to play the Phillies.

393
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Phillies wouldn't happen in that first round?

394
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: Could happen?

395
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: I know at all. I don't want to play them

396
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: at all.

397
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be whoever wins that one goes on

398
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: at this point to face the Phillies.

399
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: So that's also of all the teams in the National

400
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: League on that side of the bracket, the Phillies scare

401
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: me the most. The other the other teams I'm okay with.

402
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: Not to take anything away from him, I just think

403
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the Phillies are really, really, really freaking good, even without

404
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler, even with Aaron Nola's recent struggles. Jy Kim

405
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: saying that seems daunting, I agree, man, Like I just

406
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: I hear, Yeah, it does. It does seem daunting, But

407
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: we got to.

408
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: Get that smash him. Yeah, manny Man talking about a

409
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: lot of tough lefties in that Phillies lineup. Of course

410
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: sluggers who have a lot of them, Been there, done that.

411
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: They have their own issues.

412
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: Of course, they have a good team, you guys.

413
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean with with obviously with Harper and Kyle Schwarber,

414
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: who all he does is hit home runs, Trade Turner, JT. Real, Muto,

415
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: they have decent They have a decent bullpen too, which

416
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: we don't right now.

417
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: Obviously, Rand Duran massive addition for them at the end

418
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: of that.

419
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: By the way, can.

420
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Speak about johand Uran for a hot second, So that

421
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: that whole like you know, like pop and circumstance.

422
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: And I know that he did it in Minnesota too.

423
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: I know that this is not new coming to Philadelphia,

424
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: But good lord, if you're coming out to that and

425
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: the whole season goes black, or the whole stadium goes black,

426
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: and you're coming out and there's like the Tarantula's everywhere,

427
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: you better not give up a hit, let alone and

428
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: earned run in the rest of your life. If that

429
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: is what you're coming out to, Oh my gosh, you

430
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: are not allowed to give up a hit or god forbid,

431
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: an earned run with that nonsense.

432
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 3: You're really not a fan of it because I think

433
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 3: this is two shows that are row you talked about it.

434
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: I just think it's ridiculous. Anyway, get off my lawn.

435
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: Moving, get off.

436
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna talk about last licks. Could you

437
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: have more? Are you good?

438
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: No?

439
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 3: I mean I think if I'm gonna answer the question

440
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: of which of those teams I'd rather face, I mean,

441
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: the Reds have so little to lose. The Giants would

442
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 3: be a fun series for everybody. Uh, you know, a

443
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 3: three game series there.

444
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, what's the easiest way to get back

445
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: to the World Series.

446
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, easiest way is probably through the Reds. You know

447
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: they have they have some interesting talent. Uh, Dodgers have

448
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: played them well. But if they're able to line up

449
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: their starting pitching. They got some dudes over there, particularly

450
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 3: Hunter Green is one of those guys who can be

451
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: a little frightening. They just don't have Yeah, they don't

452
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: have all the talent. They don't have enough talent to

453
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: beat down the Dodgers in my opinion. But that's where

454
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: we're at right now. That's where things good. If the

455
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: Dodgers in the world or the postseason was here today,

456
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: if the season ended today, it's Dodgers it's Mets. A

457
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 3: rematch of last year's NLCS and the Mets with all

458
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: of their issues. I don't know, maybe I feel pretty

459
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: good about them as well because they got a big

460
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: old monkey on their back with you know, the off

461
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: season that they had and adding one Soto. You can't

462
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 3: get out of the nl wild card. Same with the Dodgers.

463
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: But can't.

464
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: It's a huge it would be a huge disappointment in

465
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: a very massively failured season. I think we should have

466
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: Mets up on our show at some point. If we

467
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: get there, we can combine. You guys, don't forget on

468
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: foul territory. We have a lot of other territories and

469
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: Mets Up is one of them. So check out all

470
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: of our fouled territory partners. All right, we're going to

471
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: talk about a doggo after this break.

472
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 5: Let's do time for your weekly Arena Club segment where

473
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 5: we see what AJ pulls from a slab pack.

474
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: And.

475
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: We got Emerald pack this week. AJ looking for something big.

476
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 3: Always, I'm always looking for the big thing.

477
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 5: Next big things, got big money, big money, baby way,

478
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 5: We've got a Dave Winfield card from nineteen to seventy

479
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 5: four to seventy four tops card from this Emerald pack.

480
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: Estimated value three hundred bucks. You could sell it back

481
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 5: for two seventy sold sold.

482
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: I feel like.

483
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 5: You are into more of the current players. Would that

484
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: be accurate?

485
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: You like legend in my showroom, I have a Robin

486
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: you out, I have a Griffy Rookie car. Oh that's true,

487
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 3: So I mean I have some older vintage your players.

488
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 4: Bob Gibson.

489
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you have Gibson, So I know I.

490
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: Disagree Scott, but Dave Winfield for that amount of money back,

491
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm reselling it.

492
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: And if you want to get your own pack or

495
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's introduce you guys to a pup by

496
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: the name of Baxter. Baxter was at the Downy shelter

497
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: about to be killed. This is a one hundred percent

498
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: purebread Belgian Malinois. It is very rare in rescue to

499
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: find a purebread that has been abandoned or whatever. But

500
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: he is a very very smart dog. If you know

501
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: anything about Belgian Malinoise, they are in the German shepherd family.

502
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: But they are very active, they're super smart. They need

503
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: mental and physical stimulation. He will absolutely sit on the

504
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: couch with you and watch a Dodger game, but that

505
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: is after after you get him some good exercise. Right now,

506
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: he is being fostered in Thousand Oaks. We need a

507
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: savvy adopter that is part of an active family or

508
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: somebody that's going to get him the stimulation that he needs.

509
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: Hit us up on Gidriy's guardian dot org or any

510
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: of my social channels. Clint pa se us, what is

511
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: coming up on all Dodgers tonight?

512
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: We should be live. I haven't even talked to the

513
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: boys today. It has been a long, slow, weird morning.

514
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: But something will be live myself Jeff Snyder potentially Kevin

515
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: Skinner talking about your Dodgers. No idea even at the time.

516
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 3: The best way to know when live a subscribe, hit

517
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: that notification bell. Check out our social media as we

518
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 3: always post when we're about to go live. We also

519
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 3: tell the people in our discord chat when we're about

520
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: to go live, So just pay attention. We'll be live

521
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: at some point in our lives, but a lot of

522
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: before we get out of here kind of have maybe

523
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 3: a longer sign off here, longer baseball thought for the road.

524
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: Because we already talked about offense, We've talked about the

525
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: starting pitching. Defense is looking better for this team. The

526
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 3: bullpen is definitely a little bit more of a question mark.

527
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 3: Maddie Man, this is a good kind of springboard into

528
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: our eventual conversation I want to have about Rokie Sasaki.

529
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: But Maddy Man asking, it's like, are we really gonna

530
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 3: trust Michael Kopek with any kind of leverage situation in

531
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs because kope came in last night, didn't really

532
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: know where the baseball was going, and he's he's had

533
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: some issues with that. He's been bailed out a lot.

534
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Alex Vesia I save, you know, bailing

535
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: him out last night. Roki Sasaki, this is the root

536
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: of this, a potential bullpen roll suddenly, according to Dave

537
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: Roberts on the table, Roki coming off with very good outing.

538
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: Yep, this is what Dave said. We'd have to see

539
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: it here. Roberts said, We'll still have time, but we'd

540
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: have to see it here. Obviously, we have to make

541
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: a decision at some point in time kind of where

542
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: we're going to move forward here in the next couple

543
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: of weeks. Jack Harris had this to say as well

544
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: after his start Intripla last night, Roki Sasaki is going

545
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: to fly back to LA to discuss the next steps.

546
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts left the door open for Sosaki potentially being

547
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: part of that playoff pitching staff. So again, it's just

548
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: so many unknowns and so many pieces of a puzzle

549
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: that have to be moved around. And I'm glad I

550
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: don't have to do it because it is a lot

551
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: more difficult than just throwing a line up out there

552
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: and saying, all right, kid's go get it. I mean,

553
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: there's so much strategy that goes into this that we

554
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: have no idea.

555
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what we haven't seen Roki Sasaki since May

556
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 3: I think it was at the big league level.

557
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, when they put him in like witness protection, I

558
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: swear they just like an alien came and got him.

559
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to him.

560
00:25:59,280 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: How much is that?

561
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: Do you know where he actually went?

562
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 3: He was hanging around. He was there for the vibes,

563
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: you know, to see his last start. Yeah, May ninth

564
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 3: against Arizona is arguably his worst start of the year.

565
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: The velocity is back up. Go ahead, they were.

566
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: They were like, see, ye you're hurt.

567
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: You look really hurt. Yeah, the velocity was back up

568
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 3: last night though at Triple A. You know, he pitched

569
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: into I think it was the fourth or fifth inning.

570
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 3: His final inning was not good. But all the damage

571
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: was done to him in that final innings, but he

572
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 3: did rattle off eight strikeouts. The fastball was touching one

573
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour. Again, like, what would you, you know,

574
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: put on your Dave Roberts cap. What would you need

575
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: to see if let's say he gets activated next week

576
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 3: against the Phillies. I don't know if it's the starting rotation.

577
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 3: I would imagine it's more of a long man roll.

578
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: But what would you need to see out of a road?

579
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: I was going to say, a long, a long man

580
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: roll though, with nobody on base. I think he's got

581
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: to come in and clean innings, you know, I do.

582
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: I just don't think you can have, you know, a

583
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: man on first and second with two outs and bring

584
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: him in.

585
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: I just it's too much. I don't know.

586
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any I haven't seen him in six months.

587
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: I haven't seen what he can do, you know, so

588
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: they're watching him. So if they think he could be

589
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: in our I mean he said that he would do

590
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: what the team wanted, but from recorders that were there

591
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: at the time when the question was asked, they could

592
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: tell by his body language that he obviously prefers to

593
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: be a starter. He does not want to be in

594
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: the bullpen. But it's like, either you're in the bullpen

595
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: or you're not on this post Leason roster.

596
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: I'll take the bullpen.

597
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: That's pretty much it. He's not starting over any of

598
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 3: the you know, the five dudes six dudes that are

599
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: in that starting rotation right now, you haven't earned that

600
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: for sure. Bullpen wise, it would you know, I take

601
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: Ambachian over Roki Sasaki. I take Justin Ribleski over Rokie Susaki.

602
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 3: But it does count come down to those those kind

603
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: of auxiliary guys or fringe guys or whatever. Edgardo Henriquez,

604
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: he has the stuff, but maybe the upside is higher

605
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: with Roki. Somebody like we're justalk about Michael Kopek, who

606
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: doesn't know where the baseball is going. If you have

607
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 3: Rokie throwing consistent one hundred miles an hour, that plays

608
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: so well with that splitter. Maybe that's also a weapon.

609
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: He can give you two or three innings. I don't know.

610
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: It's an interesting question. I don't see Roki Sasaki finding

611
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: his way onto this postseason roster, but to at least,

612
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, prove that you can get some big league

613
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: hitters out at the end of the season and be

614
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: a part of the you know, the stay hot Taxi

615
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: squad for the postseason. Maybe there's a series that makes

616
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: sense to plug him in, or maybe injuries happen. I

617
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: would still maximize whatever we can get out of Rokie

618
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: in year one, because I wouldn't call his first big

619
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,400
