1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm a big advocate that the Dodgers are one of

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: the teams that needs the All Star break more than

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: anybody else. I'm talking about the Oscar Hernandez Moloki Betts

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: needs the All Star break not only physically but mentally.

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: What up, everybody, and welcome to a brand new episode

6

00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: Well?

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: I like why, let's let's get into it, my friends.

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's chat about this a little bit before we

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: get into that. We should I want to keep it positive,

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 4: and we'll do that in a second. But yeah, six

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: game losing skid right now, it's not a whole lot

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 4: has looked pretty for this team. Of course, they're knocking

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: on the doorst the door of winning a game. Escaping

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: Milwaukee with a dub unfortunately did not work. Of course,

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: our friend David Vesse is joining us today on the show,

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 4: so I'll ask him about where this team is at,

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: where the struggles are at, and all that kind of stuff. Shortly,

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: but this is a very very much needed day off

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: and then three more games in San Francisco, and you

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: have most of the team will have about four days

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: off too, hopefully just not think about baseball in the slightest.

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what, I agree with you. Let's

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: put the negative aside. That's gonna be. We're gonna be positive,

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: padd Okay, not negative, Nancy. We're putting positive Patty in.

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna opt to look at something positive, and we're

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: doing that with the installment of the Draft Kings Pick

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: six player Spotlight. You very much appreciate DraftKings being part

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: of our show. So here's the deal. This is a

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: Draft Kings Player Spotlight today. We are shining a spotlight

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: on the return of Dunde Tyler Glass. Now, I tell

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: you what, if you're going to take a positive lining,

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: a positive spin, which we are doing today, why not

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: make it Tyler Glass now. Great to see him off

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: of the injured list, Clint He returned after being sidelined

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: for seventy three days with that shoulder issue.

49
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: He did well.

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: What did you like about his return?

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Glass now when he was right.

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: You know, obviously some things kind of went a little

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: bit against him in I think it was a second

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: or third inning where Milwaukee scored that one unearned run.

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 4: But when you're looking at what Glass now gave this.

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: Team one, he gave me some hope.

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: It was very nice to see five scoreless against a

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: scorching hot Milwaukee lineup.

59
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: That is great to see. But missed what is it seventy.

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: Three days, came back eighty five pitches, five innings. Pitch

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: count got maybe a little wonky on him, But the

62
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: most important thing is he came out healthy, and it's important.

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: That is massively important for this team because we know

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: starting pitching feels to me like it hasn't been necessarily

65
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 4: a massive issue for this team. Obviously we were just

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: talking before going live. Yamamoto didn't have his best start

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: to open that series there in Milwaukee, But for the

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: greater part over this stretch, starting pitching has been decent

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: enough keeping them in ballgames. Somewhat, maybe not the eighteen

70
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: to one against Houston, but still that's not the problem.

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: But to add, like I like to say, an adult,

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: a grown up back to the room with Glass now

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: the rotation to me starting to get healthy, and that's

74
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: that's massive for this team.

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: What'd you like out of Glass now?

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing, right, he only gave up

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: the one one run, it was an unearned run. But

78
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: what I liked about it is that it's going to

79
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: help the rotation immensely moving forward. A starting rotation that

80
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: desperately needs health, a starting rotation that desperately needs fresh arms,

81
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: that are well rested arms. And that's exactly what you're

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: gonna get with Tyler Glass now back. Hopefully that's what

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: you get with Blake Snell coming back, who I believe

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: is going out on a rehab assignment soon. We'll talk

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: to Daves say who's his best friend coming up in

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 2: the show to see where Snell zilla is in terms

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: of the rehab. But if you can get some of

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: these guys back, it's only going to help your bullpen,

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: which I believe Clint is unbelievably taxed.

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: If you have.

91
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: Yama khurshed Glass now show hey a little bit obviously,

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: Dustin May, Emma she and Justin Robleski. But if you

93
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: can get Snell and Tyler Glass noow back and we'll

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: get an update on Sislaki too, because I feel like

95
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: he's like, I don't know where where do they.

96
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: Put him witness protection?

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in a bubble somewhere. If they can stay healthy,

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: I mean that's a pretty good thing moving forward to

99
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: try to get a break.

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, getting the bullpen of break and another thing that Listen,

101
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: we could sit here and you know we Andrew Friedman,

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, you're gonna need to be busy. Your your

103
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 4: proclamation in uh in January is not gonna come true.

104
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to be busy at the trade deadline.

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: And to be able to stay out of the starting

106
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: pitching market I think is massive for this team. Obviously,

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: there's there's the unspoken Dodger tax. Dodgers tax when it

108
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: comes to uh, you know, swinging deals and all that,

109
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: and Dodgers have a lot of prospects they would like

110
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 4: to hold onto. So many teams are in the starting

111
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 4: pitching market. Uh, come this trade deadline. So to know

112
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: that Dodgers likely don't need to be active there maybe

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: a reliever, maybe an outfielder, maybe an infielder, wherever they

114
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: end up going in that regard. To know that you

115
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: have Glass now back. It's one start, it's five innings,

116
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 4: but if he's feeling good coming out of it, and

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: he could stay locked in every fifth or sixth day,

118
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: massive massive for this ball club and for this front office.

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: It is massive. I just like the way that it

120
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: feels like if these guys start coming back, then everyone

121
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: kind of shifts back to where they were supposed to be.

122
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: Right coming into the season, we thought, man, what an

123
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: unbelievable starting rotation. Man, what an unbelievable bullpen. Andrew Friedman

124
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: won't have to do anything the trade deadline barring injury.

125
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: Guess who've got a lot of injuries, The Los Angeles Dodgers.

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, to your point, if we don't

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: have to focus so much on the starting pitching market

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline coming up here in a couple

129
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: of weeks, about three weeks actually, then you can focus

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: maybe on the reliever market, which I think is more

131
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: cost effective for the Dodgers. I think the starting pitching

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: market's going to be pretty expensive, whether that is via

133
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: trade in terms of prospects or those types of things,

134
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: or even you know, however they figure it out. I

135
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: think it's going to be much more expensive market than

136
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: a relieving core market. If you can get a reliever

137
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: or two instead of having to deal with maybe having

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: a starting pitcher. I kind of like the way that

139
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: that plays out a little bit better. What about you?

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, one hundred percent, And now you know, knowing

141
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: where the state of the bullpen is at, with the

142
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: news that Michael Kopek is going to be sidelined for

143
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: at least a couple of weeks, maybe a month and

144
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 4: a half, could be a September return following surgery for

145
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: a meniscus tear in his I believe it was this

146
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: left knee, right knee, whatever, any knee, it's not good

147
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: for your pitcher. So having him gone, having Evan Phillips

148
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: also sidelined for the year, you need to be active

149
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: in that relief market, but to not have to be

150
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 4: active in relieving and in starting. Hey, you know, maybe

151
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: Andrew got halfway there. Andrew and Brendan Gomes, they got

152
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: halfway there with there. We don't want to have to.

153
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: Make a bunch of moves at the trade deadline. You

154
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: have to make something. You definitely have to make sense.

155
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: That's funny. Biras Sama on the chat says can confirm

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: Soak is in bubble wrap. How do you know this?

00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: coming up here momentarily. Good thing doctors can't lose today.

186
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: I feel phenomenal. The Dodgers, Wow, who's a baseball game today? Game?

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 7: Here?

188
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: Are buddy there?

189
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: Wow?

190
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: The real dB. I'm not on the screen, so let

191
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: me do this and I'll fix that.

192
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: You guys talk catch.

193
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: Up, all right? David You're the best, by the way,

194
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: honest to goodness. And I'm not just saying this because

195
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: you're a friend of mine. You truly are the hardest

196
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: working human in UH in sports television, this is a

197
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: guy everybody, if you don't know, David Veasse covers every

198
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,359
Speaker 2: single game, regardless if the team obviously is on national television.

199
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: So David, working obviously for a M five seventy, always

200
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: has Dodgers talk, regardless if the team is you know, off,

201
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: regardless if the team is on, he has Dodgers talk

202
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: if the team is on national television. Radio folks work

203
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: way harder than television folks. Not to mention, when Kirsten

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: Watson is off, then David fills in for her too.

205
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: So this is a man of Benny hats who is

206
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: kind enough to take the time to be with us today. David,

207
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: how are you?

208
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: Thank you? Alana. We need a Rizzo cast for the

209
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Dodger games too. I like that concept. We need that

210
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: out here in La. Let's go.

211
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be fun doing an alternative broadcast for

212
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: the Dodgers broadcast. Okay, Dave, what's going on the last

213
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: six games? Nobody's panicking, at least they shouldn't be.

214
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: What have you noticed, Well, you just said it's a

215
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: good thing. There's no game. The Dodgers didn't lose today, right, Alana,

216
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: Come on anyway, it is a good thing. They needed

217
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: this day off, and I hope they're all getting their

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: rest and relaxation. And I'm a big advocate that the

219
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Dodgers are one of the teams that needs the All

220
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: Star break more than anybody else. And I'm talking about

221
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: ti Oscar Hernandez. I'm talking about Freddie Freeman, who obviously

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: is going to be celebrated in Atlanta, but still not

223
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: major league meaningful games. Hernandez, Freddie Munsey could use the

224
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: extra free time to hopefully get back sooner rather than later.

225
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: And Mooki Betts, Mooki Betts needs the All Star break,

226
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: not only physically but mentally. I am so tired of

227
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: taking calls on Dodger Talk after games and every time

228
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,479
Speaker 1: the Dodgers lose and Mooki makes every play it shortstop,

229
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: it's automatically because Mooki Bets is playing shortstop. The Dodgers

230
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: have lost that game. I am so tired of taking

231
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: those calls.

232
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 4: That is one of the things I honestly wanted to

233
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: talk to you about because don't worry, we get him

234
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: here online too, DV. And you know, everybody loves to

235
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: say he shouldn't be playing shortstop. Clearly he needs to

236
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: move back to right field. That's why he's not hitting.

237
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: Maybe he has something to do with the fact that

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: he got sick, lost a bunch of weight before right

239
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: at the end of spring training, tried to ramp it

240
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 4: back up as quick as he could to make it,

241
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 4: you know, at least for the domestic home opener. I

242
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: think there's a little more to something with that than

243
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: the shortstop, where he's actually been pretty dang good playing

244
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: the position. What do you think is kind of going

245
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: on with Muokie? You mentioned the mental reset as well.

246
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: Is it more of just kind of giving the brain

247
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: a blow? Is there something with the body? Where are

248
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 4: we at with Marcus Lindbetts.

249
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's more mental. I think he needs

250
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: a mental rest. I just feel like he's been chasing it,

251
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: like you said, ever since the beginning of the season,

252
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: he hasn't found it. I don't think he's been bad,

253
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: but he certainly has been very average offensively all season long.

254
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: And you know, on this last series against the Brewers,

255
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: you started to see that maybe the offense is starting

256
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: to frustrate him and start to bleed into his defense

257
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: because he's starting to make uncharacteristic bad throws at least

258
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: this year bad plays. So you just hope the offensive

259
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: struggles are not starting to bleed into his defense because

260
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: you certainly can have that happen at shortstop.

261
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: Dave, what are we doing with Michael Conforto? What's the

262
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: realistic plan?

263
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: Well, what happened to my dead fish head? Shake it?

264
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: I try to give him that magic. It didn't work out.

265
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: They worked for two weeks. It worked for two weeks,

266
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: and then it wore.

267
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Off more than it's gonna need more than that, apparently.

268
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has until July thirty first to Lana to

269
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: show the Dodgers that he should be the starting left fielder.

270
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: I know everybody keeps talking about pitching and pitching at

271
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. I believe the Dodgers should be looking

272
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: for an outfield bad at the trade deadline. They got

273
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: pitching coming. They got glass Now back yesterday. Snell's pitching

274
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: in Rancho Cucamonga today. They're gonna get him back, probably

275
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: on the first road trip after the All Star break.

276
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: So they're getting pitching back, but they need a little

277
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: bit better outfield defense and they need a little bit

278
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: more offense. And I don't know who that is. You know,

279
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: I've heard the Red Sox shop Jaron Duran and the

280
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: Padres two months into the season. Byron Buxton's on a

281
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Twins team that's going nowhere. There's got to be somebody

282
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: out there that can help the offensively and defensively, because

283
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: right now you have two guys in the corner outfield

284
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: spots that don't cover a lot of ground. Tail's playing

285
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: hurt Confordo actually has been pretty decent in left field,

286
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: but it's not hitting. So I think they got to

287
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: look at the outfield at the trade deadline more than pitching.

288
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one of the things too. I think

289
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: this team also needs to look at the reliever market. Obviously,

290
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: you lose we were just talking before you joined us,

291
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: losing Michael Kopek to knee injury. You don't know what

292
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 4: to expect when he if and when he returns. Evan

293
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: Phillips out for the rest of the season. Right now,

294
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: you got one back end of the bullpen right hander

295
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: in Ben Casparius, who's just getting put back in that position.

296
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: We saw ESPN's Jeff Passon mentioned Joan Duran from the

297
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 4: Minnesota Twins. You also mentioned Byron Buxton.

298
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: It feels to me.

299
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: Like at this deadline it's going to be another one

300
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: of those multiplayer blockbuster deals. Obviously Andrew did not want

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: to be active at the deadline. I'm sorry, and he's

302
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: going to have to work this July thirty first, But yeah,

303
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 4: what are you thinking. Is there going to be a Duran,

304
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: Is there going to be a multiple players? Is it

305
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: just going to be an outfielder? What's the pulse of

306
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 4: our favorite Dodgers insider, David vasse.

307
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Well, one thing we've learned about the Dodgers in the

308
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: last year and a half is that they don't go small.

309
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: They go big. I mean, look at their offseason. They're

310
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: going big and they're not stopping now. So I wouldn't

311
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: put it past them to make a big splash. The

312
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: thing is, with durand from the Twins or a Class

313
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: A from the Guardians, they're under team control at a

314
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: very good cost for the next two years. So that's

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: the reason why they might not be as available as

316
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: people think. They are because those guys are hot commodities,

317
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: And are the Dodgers really going to overpay with the

318
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: most volatile spot on a roster, and that's a relief

319
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: pitcher even though they're really good. And if you look

320
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: at Class A season, he hasn't been as good as

321
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: he was last year. That's just the life of a

322
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: reliever year to years. So if it makes sense, they will.

323
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: I personally believe a guy like David Bednar makes a

324
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: lot of sense for the Dodgers, and he may be

325
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: more available than those other two guys. But you know,

326
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of benk Conspiraus. I think the

327
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: Dodgers understand that his stuff plays up in the bullpen,

328
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: and if they could just get him back in that role,

329
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna really I think they envision him

330
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: to be that Evan Phillips type of guy.

331
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, David Vesse, you're boys with Blake Snell. What's the

332
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: likelihood of his return in terms of a time table

333
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: and how I know it sounds ridiculous, but how important

334
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: it would it be to get him back?

335
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

336
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Huge? And he's on his way back, Alana. The last

337
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: two weeks, I've sensed just a different type of focus

338
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: and edge in him because he could see the light

339
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the tunnel. He's actually pitching tonight

340
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: at Rancho Kucamonga, his first rehab start, and then with

341
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the All Star breaking the Miners and in the Majors,

342
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: he's going to go to Arizona and pitch over there

343
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: in that league, and then if all goes well there,

344
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: I believe he's going out to Oklahoma City. So he's

345
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: on his way back, and you know, with all that

346
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: being said, I could see him returning by the end

347
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: of July.

348
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: Is Rookie Sasaki on witness protection? Where is he and

349
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: what's his progress coming back?

350
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: Hey, it looks that way. When I see him throw

351
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: on flat ground at Dodger Stadium, He's got like ten

352
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: people watching him play catch. I mean it's incredible. Snell

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: stet one guy out there he's got oh yeah.

354
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: Like Snell's old news. They're like, well, we know you're

355
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: coming back, rookie. We're trying to really make it into

356
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: something special. I mean, is there any likelihood we see

357
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: him anytime soon?

358
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: David?

359
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: I mean, you know this team better than anybody. What

360
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: are what's the plan for him?

361
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of Dave Roberts even seems

362
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: exasperated when he's asked about him. So I don't know.

363
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: I don't know when he's coming back. Nobody's really given

364
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: any indication. And even if he does come back, do

365
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: you expect him to play a big role in October?

366
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I feel like he's just the guy

367
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: that at this stage, first year. I mean, you have

368
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: to give him some of that leeway. It's not like

369
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: they signed him to three hundred million dollars. He's still

370
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: under a minor league type of deal, so it's not

371
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: like it's crippling anybody. But it is his first year.

372
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: It is a huge learning curve for him, and I

373
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: could see him pitching in September and pitching some innings,

374
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: eating up some innings to help out the Dodger staff

375
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: going into October if he does come back.

376
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 4: Dave, we have a question in the chat here from

377
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: beer Sama a little bit earlier. So it's crazy that

378
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 4: all of this started when Munsey Max Munsey got injured.

379
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: How big of a blow was it losing Max Munsey?

380
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: Oh? Huge? I think people forget how bad the Dodger

381
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: offense was without him. Last year and what they did

382
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: at third base. I mean, it just didn't go well.

383
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: And it's not just the threat of the home runs.

384
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: The last forty games before he got hurt, he had

385
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: really turned into a hitter, right, not just a three

386
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: true outcome player. Dave Roberts had said that, And he

387
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: takes a lot of pitches, he knows the strike zone,

388
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: he takes his walks, so he serves such a big

389
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: function in that lineup. And I'm not sure Dodger fans,

390
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: even when he was struggling the first two months of

391
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the season, appreciated just what type of at that he

392
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: is in that lineup and how he compensates for a

393
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: lot of guys in the lineup that swing first pitch.

394
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: But I mean, he was He was a finalist for

395
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: the All Star Game before he got hurt. So that

396
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: just tells you how good he was and how much

397
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: they miss him.

398
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: Dave had a conversation with a couple of folks yesterday

399
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: that they still believe that the National League West is

400
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: the toughest division in baseball. I mean, we've seen Arizona sputter.

401
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: We obviously know the Rockies are a quadruple A team.

402
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: If even that it's almost an insult to quadruple A.

403
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: What do you think is it still? Is it still

404
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: the NL wes? Is this still the division to beat

405
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: in your mind?

406
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, for sure, I really do. You look at

407
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: the Giants, you look at the Padres, the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks,

408
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: even without Corbyn Burns and they've been decimated by injuries

409
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: that they can't recover from. They're still They're not an

410
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: easy win and certainly can play a big part in

411
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: the race going down the stretch. But yeah, it's not

412
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: a situation that you want to see any of those

413
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: NLS teams. The NL Central has been surprisingly better than

414
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: I thought it would be. I mean, the Brewers are

415
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: one of the hottest teams in baseball right now. The

416
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: Cubs have the best record with the Dodgers in the NL.

417
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: They look like a completely different team than what we

418
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: saw in Tokyo, and the Cardinals have been more competitive

419
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: than we thought they would be. So I would say

420
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: the NL West is the best, but the NL Central

421
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: has been the most surprising.

422
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: Dave, we have this in the chat Ricardo, bring Joe

423
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: Kelly back? Hey, is Joe Kelly going to be a

424
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 4: Dodger again at some point soon.

425
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: What are you thinking? What are you hearing?

426
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: Do people want Joe Kelly back? He's hurt, he can't

427
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: pitch anymore. Past I know, what do they love so

428
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: much about Joe Kelly?

429
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: The pout, the attitude, the mariachi Joe?

430
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: They always baseball baseball moment.

431
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: Hopefully not the one with the rest.

432
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Joe, but when you take a

433
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: step back in and look at his career with the Dodgers,

434
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean, was it that great?

435
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: No?

436
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: No, sorry, they think about Joe.

437
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: Maybe he will infuse some some vim and vigor into

438
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: the into the rotator or into the bullpen. Maybe he

439
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: infuses some some spark. I mean with Copek out now,

440
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: Blake Turning's out, Evan Phillips is out. You know, it's like,

441
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 2: what is it? Okay, let's let's turn it this way.

442
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: What's going on with with a Grotto? With Bazooka, I mean,

443
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: is he?

444
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't seen Bazooka since the Dodgers were

445
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: playing in Arizona. And you know, people keep telling me

446
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: there's a world where Blake Trinon and Bruce star Graderol

447
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: are back in the Dodger bullpen. In August or September. So, uh,

448
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: that's that's a great dream to keep alive.

449
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 4: Right there A lot of a lot of ifs, Hey,

450
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw another scrap Heap name, then if we're

451
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm sorry, Joe Kelly, I'm not calling you

452
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: scrap Heap. But we saw the DJ Lea Mayhew and

453
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 4: I'm sorry it smells. It feels like a Dodger signing

454
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: right now, the corpse of DJ Lea Mayhew. Uh do

455
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 4: you think something happens officially released today?

456
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: You know why it could happen is because they need

457
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: some help depth wise at third base and second base.

458
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: You know he plays third base, So yeah, you're right, Clint.

459
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean it would cost them nothing, and I'm sure

460
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: he wants to be part of a winner. I don't

461
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: know how good he is anymore. I mean, I don't

462
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: see the Yankees just letting a guy go, and I

463
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: don't know like it it's worth a flyer. I guess

464
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: he's comfortable in the NL West. He was so good

465
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: with the Rockies and like I said, you know with

466
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: Keik on the I L Monsey on the IL. I mean, uh,

467
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: Lemayhew could be a guy for sure.

468
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing that you mentioned is the

469
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 2: fact that he'd come for nothing, Like the Yankees are

470
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: eating the salary, so why not?

471
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the amount of it was at this point

472
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 4: you need some warm bodies in there. Even keyk Hernandez

473
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 4: is down for the count right now. You don't have

474
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 4: Chris Taylor anymore. Somebody with a little bit of positional

475
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 4: versatility I think helps his team a lot.

476
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: I got.

477
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I got Maybe Joe Kelly could play third base often

478
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: game Barnes, he could wear his Mariachi jacket and play

479
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: third base and the fans would go crazy.

480
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: A lot of that Giants Giants legend, Austin Barnes, come on.

481
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 2: Now now seriously, though, let me ask you a question, David.

482
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to be like facetious about this because

483
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: I love Sam. It's difficult when you cover a team

484
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: as long as you have to see some of these

485
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: guys part ways right Like it was weird to see

486
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: AJL get traded or let go. It was weird to

487
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: see some of these guys go to different teams. And Austin,

488
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: apart from Kersh, was the longest tenured player you know

489
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: that I've known covering that team. What's it like for you,

490
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: as a guy that's been around this club for two

491
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: decades to see these guys get traded or dfa because

492
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: nobody is above it. No one's above reproach. If Albert

493
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: Poolholst can get dfayed by the Angels, anybody can.

494
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely a culture shock, Alana, when you're around

495
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: these guys every day and they've been through so much

496
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: with the team. I could tell you driving home after

497
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: finishing Dodger Talk the night that Austin Barnes was let go.

498
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: I got a text from one of his teammates and

499
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: then he texted me when I got home to let

500
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: me know. I mean, those are the type of things

501
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: that happened. When these shocking things happened to players that

502
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: have been around for a long time. I just think

503
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: the way it went down, it took everybody by surprise.

504
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: After a game. Barnes is a backup catcher and they

505
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: decided to let him go. But Dalton Rushing has been

506
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: definitely much better throwing behind the plate. But yeah, you're right,

507
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: it is. When you cover one team for a long

508
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: period of time, you see a lot of guys come

509
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: and go. But it's never easy. And you see a

510
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: guy like Clayton Kershaw, who got so close to Barnes

511
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: after being so close to aj elis definitely kind of

512
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: a shock to him and Kei k and those guys

513
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: have been through it because people never appreciated just how

514
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: much Barnes meant in that clubhouse and that dugout when

515
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't when he wasn't catching, he was actually helping pitchers,

516
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: like with sequencing, telling him what he saw. He was

517
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: engaged and was the ultimate competitor. He had a lot

518
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: of edge and was a guy that knew how to

519
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: keep guys loose, knew how to put young guys in

520
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: their place. So he brought a lot to the table

521
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: and certainly changes the dynamic of a dugout in a clubhouse,

522
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: no doubt.

523
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: David.

524
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: We we appreciate your insight as always. Again, like Alana said,

525
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 4: there's nobody who follows this team more closely. You live

526
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: with these guys, You breathe with these guys. You're out

527
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 4: there getting beat, you know, doing a running drills with

528
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 4: Adrian Gonzalez back in the day. You're in it, your

529
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 4: knee deep in it. So we appreciate the insight man

530
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 4: and everybody go follow the real DV because he's gonna

531
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: be the guy who breaks the big trade the Dodgers

532
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 4: make this offs or this uh this trade deadline. I decided,

533
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 4: at least if it doesn't.

534
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Have a lot of notes, I can't do that. Yeah,

535
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna get that, get that call from the man.

536
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 3: I get you. We won't get you in trouble then

537
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: just let us know and we'll break it for you.

Speaker 2: boy is about five months old. He's such a good boy.

572
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: He was at the shelter and about to be killed

573
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: just because he had a broken leg. He does not

574
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 2: have a broken leg any longer. We got him all

575
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: fixed up. He is healthy, he is happy, he is

576
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: vaccinated for his age. Like I said, he's five months old.

577
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: So he does have puppy energy, so expect that. Expect

578
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, not accidents, but you know

579
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: he's a puppy, so just be understanding of that and

580
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: understand that type of lifestyle. We're looking for an adopt

581
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: He is being fostered right now in southern California, but

582
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,199

00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 4: season against any team this team could beat right now.

622
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: So I guess the Rockies they're broken. They're battery. They

623
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: needed this All Star break a week ago, very much

624
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: like that.

625
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: Coming out of that, It's not going to be easy.

626
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: They're going up against the Logan Web and Robbie Ray.

627
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: But you know, I like it. I like the challenge.

628
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is what you want. And

629
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: then they can have a few days off and go

630
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: from there.

631
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean we talked in the past. We spoke

632
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: last year.

633
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 4: He also talked to Dino Ebel about it, like the

634
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: importance last season of playing meaningful games late into the season,

635
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: having this challenge. And it's funny. I mean, they still

636
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: have a really good lead in the National League West.

637
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 4: It's shrinking day by day. But I mean that really

638
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: because Padres have also been playing poorly. Giants aren't really

639
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 4: you know, on the balls of their feet or whatever

640
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: and expression whatever I'm going for there. They're not playing great.

641
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 4: So just need the Dodgers to turn around. You need

642
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 4: some good vibes heading into that All Star break because

643
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: I would hate to stew on a nine game losing

644
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: streak when you have four days off.

645
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 3: Can't let that happen.

646
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, one thing I can promise you.

647
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't know a lot in this world, but this

648
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: is one thing I can promise you. The Dodgers on

649
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: the All Star break are not going to be stewing

650
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: about losing nine straight. They're not going to be stewing

651
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: about losing six straight. They're going to be fine. They

652
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: know that they're built for October. And by the way,

653
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: Team Ruiz, I'm not talking trash about Dave Roberts. If

654
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: you want to understand why Dave Roberts does certain things,

655
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: go back to our spring training show and Clint and

656
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: I were the only ones that had an exclusive sit down,

657
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: your interview with Dave Roberts about the decisions that he

658
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: made in the postseason. So stop it, stop it, stop

659
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: it all right, Clint and I are back with you
