But uh, to 67 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 5: sort of have those come out in the game before 68 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 5: opening day, uh so that I can address them in 69 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 5: time is a good thing. How do you just go 70 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 5: about that? 71 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 7: What is the priority for you or what is the 72 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 7: first step in which you kind of want to address that? 73 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 5: What do you accept that you don't know? And I 74 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 5: thought mascot and then you'll you said, state. 75 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 6: Homes. 76 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 5: You know, the things that I was doing to prepare 77 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 5: for the game or were the same as last time, 78 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 5: and so I'm gonna stick to that for my next 79 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 5: start as well. But I think there were just a 80 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 5: few things with the I'm using my lower half, just 81 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 5: some you know, inconsistency between the things that I'm trying 82 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 5: to do and what was actually happening. Much better do 83 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 5: you feel about the feel for your pitches today than 84 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 5: you did the first day of camps? Like no concoct 85 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: my campus concoct Abord. You know, you get get. 86 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 8: To day. 87 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 6: I know it's getting then the husband Musquito's crazy this. 88 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 5: I think it's a little a little bit difficult to 89 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: compare like a non game environment to a game environment 90 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 5: speaking about sort of the first day of camp. But 91 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: you know, I definitely feel like I'm getting better. There 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 5: are obviously things that I want to improve on as well, 93 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 5: and so I want to to, you know, make sure 94 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 5: the improve on those things during the season as well. 95 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 9: How excited are you for the next stage of your 96 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 9: career and how fortunate do you feel that that it 97 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 9: gets to happen to start off in Japan. 98 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 8: Finish m So listen, that's gonna. 99 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: Day. 100 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 6: That's still good. Cool must see. 101 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 5: To be able to to pitch in Japan is going 102 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 5: to be a really special and unique opportunity. Obviously, being 103 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: able to pitch in the Major League is something that 104 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 5: I've I've worked for a long time to be able 105 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 5: to do until I'm really excited. 106 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 4: And we're back. But it's cool to see Roki getting 107 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: out there. I mean, whatever they were working on, it 108 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 4: seems like it worked a little bit. Their four innings, 109 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: one hit, no runs. He looked pretty damn smooth. And again, 110 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 4: one of the things he was talking about is getting 111 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: that lower half working kind of one of the things 112 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 4: he was kind of pantomiming doing some dry throwing drills 113 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 4: in the dug out there looks like a little bit 114 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 4: of the hip separation, a little bit of hand separation, 115 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: kind of staying high and making sure he's able to 116 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 4: get you know, through, get that spin on the fastball 117 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: and get that down on the sinker and throwing them 118 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: to the Wolves in Game two. 119 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's the perfect place for him to 120 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: get the start too. Obviously, it's one thing to get 121 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: your big League debut, it's another thing to do it 122 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 3: in your home country. Obviously we knew that Roki Sasaki 123 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: wanted to pitch for the Dodgers. But there's got to 124 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: be some sort of comfort level knowing that you're back 125 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: in Japan. And obviously Yamamota will lead the way in 126 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: game one, and you obviously have show hey there as well. 127 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: By the way, I'm not trying to look like a 128 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 3: thirteen year old boy. It is windy as I'll get 129 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: out here.

That's a one of the huge 175 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: huntings obviously in this offseason, hoping to stir that bullpen. 176 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: But this is a bullpen that was already pretty dang 177 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 3: good if you look around you and you can see 178 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: the names, obviously, and it wasn't even hoping for Kirby 179 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: Eights and we got him too. So what was your 180 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: initial thought of of just kind of joining this group 181 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: of bullpen dogs. 182 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 8: It's a it's gonna be a fun year. It's gonna 183 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 8: be an exciting year. 184 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 9: And there's so many good arms down there, and there's 185 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 9: so many good arms in our like starting rotation. But uh, yeah, 186 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 9: it's awesome. Especially right after I signed I saw Kirby sign. 187 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 9: It was pretty cool. 188 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 8: Maybe I'll learn a splitter or something. 189 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: We had a conversation yesterday with Evan Phillips, obviously a 190 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: good friend of yours, teammate of yours back in Baltimore. 191 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: How do you think your game has changed since back 192 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: in the O's days to here you are in this 193 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: Dodgers pen. 194 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean in the Orioles days, it was like 195 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 9: a revolving door, and uh, you always want to stay 196 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 9: in the big leagues and it's kind of like fighting 197 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 9: for a job and then something finally clicked and it's 198 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 9: I'm glad it clicked, and I'm glad to be here. 199 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 3: What's the uh the Tanner Scott. 200 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 8: Go to the go to? What do you mean by that? 201 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: Well, you know, when you're out there and let's say 202 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: it's a three two count, you're trying it, what's your outpitch? 203 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 9: I mean, why why do you It depends on It 204 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 9: depends on the depends on the sequence what the hitters seeing. 205 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 9: I can't say if it's fastball or slider, it's it's 206 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 9: whatever the at bat has. 207 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 8: Led up to. 208 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: You had mentioned an unbelievable starting rotation. I mean, there's 209 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 3: a group of ases on this team that many of 210 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: the other twenty nine are are jealous of, and they, 211 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: you know, can go deep into games. But there's also 212 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: a lot of versatility. When you talk about v it's 213 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 3: not victory, it's versatility with this club. What it most 214 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: excites you about those starting arms? 215 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 9: Everything, I mean, everyone is so good and so fun 216 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 9: to watch. I mean Yamamoto, yeah, I mean Yesterday, he's 217 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 9: he's special, and I mean he throws. 218 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 8: So hard and his uh I don't know, his. 219 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 9: Javelin throws are crazy and I love watching him do it. 220 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 9: But uh no, and then Blake's now, I mean, just 221 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 9: the whole starting rotation is unbelievable and it's going to 222 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 9: be a fun, fun year to watch. 223 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 3: When you think about this group of guys, as you 224 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: stand here and look around this clubhouse, there's a massive 225 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: amount of superstars, but the ego seems to be checked 226 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: at the door. 227 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: How key is that? 228 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: I mean, how much of that was a reason why 229 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: you wanted to be here. 230 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean everyone, everyone's a family. I mean we 231 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 9: want the same ending goal. We want to we want 232 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 9: to win a World Series and they did it last year, 233 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 9: and uh, we want to be I want to be 234 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 9: a part of it this year. 235 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: What was it like in the off season and this 236 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 3: whole process for you, Uh. 237 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 8: It was, it was. It was fun. It was long, 238 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 8: it was I mean not for it's not fun, but uh, 239 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 8: it's a long, long process. 240 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 9: And then I mean, right when the Dodgers called and 241 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 9: they made an offer, I mean, why not. Why wouldn't 242 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 9: you want to put on this color and in this 243 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 9: organization it's it's it's a great place to be. And 244 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 9: then I got I got Kirby next to me, So 245 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 9: it's fun. 246 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Is he a good guy? 247 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 3: No, he's not a good shaking his head now. 248 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 8: He's a good guy. I'm trying to learn his splitter. 249 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 4: What I love from that whole thing is uh you 250 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 4: catching him in a lie there. 251 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 3: It's not fun. 252 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: Free agency is not fun. 253 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 4: But yeah, seeing this dude, obviously we don't know quite 254 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 4: what the closer situation is going to be. Like we've 255 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: heard Dave Roberts say something akin to the fact that 256 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 4: he's probably gonna get the lion's. 257 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: Share of some save opportunities. But talking about Tanner. 258 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 4: Scott, but what I love about, you know, with him 259 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: talking as well, I'm gonna try to do this to 260 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 4: block some wins sound for folks there also, you know, 261 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 4: speaking to to Anthony Bonda, guy who's coming back from 262 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: you know, being a champion last year. With this team, 263 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: they seem to all be kind of really looking up 264 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 4: to Kirby Yates as well, and they all want to 265 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: learn that splitter and things like that. But what do 266 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: you think about how this bullpen can shake out? Do 267 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 4: you think Tanner Scott ends up being that guy that 268 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: kind of does end up with, let's say, you know, 269 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 4: being the clubhouse leader in saves, which is likely going 270 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 4: to be ten fifteen saves, or do you think it 271 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: does just kind of Dave shares the wealth, spreads the 272 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: wealth throw Well. 273 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: I think it's just the way that the game is 274 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 3: now being dictated, right. I think everybody is in there 275 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: in the bullpen and the phone rings and you're not. 276 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: I mean, they know obviously who's being called upon that 277 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: Dave is very kativ obviously with Bartow and the bullpen 278 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: and Mark Pryor and all of those guys. But you 279 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: know now, I think the outs in the sixth are 280 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: just as important as the outs and the ninth, and 281 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 3: it is the way that the game is progressing. In 282 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: the way that the game is going, I wouldn't be 283 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 3: surprised if Tanner Scott got the boatload of save opportunities. 284 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: But I also think this is an offense. I told him, 285 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: I joked, I said, it might just behold opportunities. Bro, 286 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 3: it might not be saving a lot of games just 287 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: because of the offense that we have. But I do 288 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: think they's such a versatile group. We talked about it 289 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 3: all the time. Clint v is for versatility, not for 290 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: victory when it comes to the Dodgers that I like 291 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: the fact that this is a team that has completely 292 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 3: bought in and they're over the I'm the closer role, 293 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: not necessarily. You know, you may be one day, you 294 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 3: may be for a period of time. But like you said, 295 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: everyone's looking up to Kirby Yates and we actually got 296 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: to talk to him too. Let's have a listen. It 297 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: was one thing when this team brought back Blake Trenon. 298 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: It was another thing when they signed Tanner Scott and 299 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: you're like the cherry on top. What was the leg 300 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: for you to be able to know that you're joining 301 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: this group of bullpen arms us. 302 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 11: You know, it was cool, It's good. You know, so far, 303 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 11: it's been a good group. It's been a fun group. 304 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 11: I think me and Tanner coming in being the new guys, 305 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 11: I think they've kind of welcomed us with open arms, 306 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 11: which is which has been nice and kind of makes 307 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 11: the transition kind of seamless. 308 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: You have a peanut gallery over here watching it. Are 309 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: they making you nervous? 310 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 11: You know? I think they hoped they would make me nervous, 311 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 11: but it kind of takes a little bit more in that. 312 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: What was it about this group in particular? We were 313 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 3: talking to A. J. Pierzynski yesterday, a World Series champion 314 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: in his own right. He walks and he's like, I'm starstruck. 315 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: But it has a good influx of new blood. As 316 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: you were talking about speak to that. 317 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 11: I mean, I look, I think you know, everybody's talking 318 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 11: about us. It was kind of even before I was 319 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 11: part of the team or anything like that. Is you know, 320 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 11: everybody's talking about Dodgers. I think kind of hit me. 321 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 11: I was stretching in the weight room when we first 322 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 11: got here and just watching person after person after person 323 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 11: walk in, and I was like, yeah, kind of makes sense. 324 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 12: You know. 325 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 11: I think we all understand we're loaded. I think the 326 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 11: hard part is is, you know, it's really hard to 327 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 11: win a baseball game in the big leagues and one night, 328 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 11: let alone win, you know, for seven months and do 329 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 11: it for what you got to do. So I think 330 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 11: we're all excited. I think we're up for the task, 331 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 11: and you know, I think we're all chomping at the 332 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 11: bit to get going. 333 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 3: You mentioned loaded, and oftentimes Kirby as you know, you 334 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: could have a really good starting rotation like the you know, 335 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 3: Seattle Mariners, but you don't necessarily have a bullpen to 336 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 3: match the starting arms, or you may not have the 337 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: position players on the other side for the offense. This 338 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: team has it all. I mean, is this a destination? 339 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, I would, I would think so. I think, you know, 340 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 11: for me, I can speak personally. I mean, when Dodgers 341 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 11: called right this year, it was you know, if you 342 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 11: have an offer for them and you have a chance 343 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 11: to really go win a World Series and that's truly 344 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 11: what you want. I mean, you know, I think it's 345 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 11: a pretty easy decision. 346 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: Are you prepared for any role, because it seems like 347 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: this team, you know, the out's obviously in the sixth, 348 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 3: they're just as important perhaps as the in the ninth, 349 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: and you never really know when you're gonna be called upon. 350 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that you're going to do a good 351 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 11: job communicating where you're going to slide in on that night. 352 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 11: I think as long as that's done and communicated, I 353 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 11: don't think it'll be a problem. I think we're all 354 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 11: capable of, you know, pitching any inning in any situation. 355 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 11: I think, you know, for the majority of us, we've 356 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 11: kind of all done that already, whether it's the ninth, 357 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 11: whether it's seventh, whether it's the eighth. I think, you know, 358 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 11: we all know how to prepare for what we have 359 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 11: in front of us that night. And I think as 360 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 11: long as you're communicated and everybody's on the right you know, 361 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 11: mindset and everything, it'll all work out great. 362 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: Does this team have a closer because it seems like 363 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: all of you have done it. 364 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 11: I think we got about ten. But yeah, I don't know, 365 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 11: I don't you know, closing and everything. It doesn't really 366 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 11: you know, it's nice and the ninth inning's hard, but 367 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 11: you know a lot of times, like you just said, 368 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 11: the games are one, six, seventh and eighth inning two. 369 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 11: So I think we're well equipped to handle everything. 370 00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: There you have it. 371 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what we saw talking about. Right, there's 372 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: ten closers. But you often hear if you have more 373 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 3: than one closer, you don't have a closer. If there's 374 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: more than one quarterback, you don't have a quarterback. But 375 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 3: I believe with this team, they legitimately have a multiple 376 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 3: arms that could close that you know, that could take 377 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: over those the hardest three outs of the game. 378 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, you got ten closers, You've got ten twelve starting pitchers. 379 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: It is a bounty as a wealth of pitches for 380 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 4: this team. A lot of the guys we were talking 381 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 4: to just the excitement of adding I think it is 382 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 4: important to add that new blood because twenty to twenty one, 383 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 4: I don't think there was enough change. And that's one 384 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 4: of the reasons I had asked Dave Robertson in our 385 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 4: sit down with him, you know, how do you get 386 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 4: past that World Series hangover? Because in my opinion, you 387 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 4: started off twenty one, there was a a bit of 388 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 4: that World Series hangover kind of lingering for the team. 389 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: So of course Dave says, everybody's bought in, they're ready 390 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 4: to go here. But I think adding those different players, 391 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 4: and this is something Davis talked about a number of 392 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 4: times this offseason and now into spring training, adding in 393 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 4: that fresh blood does change the dynamic for this team. 394 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 4: And the guys they added the pretty dang good at 395 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: their jobs as well. 396 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 3: And Alex Vessia believes what you said, Clint, because he 397 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 3: was also talking about when you know, we were having 398 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 3: a conversation with him about what it's like having that 399 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 3: new dynamic with the new meat, if you will, those 400 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: guys that are hungry, let's listen. 401 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: Here you go. 402 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: I mean almost on the on the plane to Tokyo 403 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 3: to where it matters. But I was talking to some 404 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: of your cohorts today. I talked to Tanner, I talked 405 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: to Kirby. Just what a group. I mean, what has 406 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 3: it been like for you to be in here going 407 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 3: into your second full season here with this club. 408 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, no, it's super special. 409 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 12: With the off season pickups, I mean, it's been nothing 410 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 12: but motivation for me. Right, getting to know specifically Tanner Kirby. 411 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 12: I mean they're awesome, man. We have already a very 412 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 12: fun dynamic. I honestly think with like Evan and Tanner's 413 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 12: like friendship already, it was a very easy transition. I mean, 414 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 12: from like day one, we were all kind of busting 415 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 12: each other up, so it was it was fun. So 416 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 12: definitely looking forward to getting it going Japan will be 417 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 12: a very interesting experience. And I'm I mean myself my 418 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 12: wife were very excited. 419 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, you have gotten some really big outs for this 420 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: club last year. Obviously, I mean, how does this team, 421 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 3: if it's even possible, improve upon what you did last year? 422 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: I mean you're certainly a lot more deep and a 423 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 3: lot healthier. 424 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 12: Yeah. 425 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean. 426 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 12: Going back to last year, we took it one game 427 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 12: at a time. It was one pitch at a time, 428 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 12: one inning at a time, right, and I think like 429 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 12: just that same mentality gives us a very very good 430 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 12: chance to win a ball game. So it's you know, 431 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 12: for myself, I try to stay day to day, and 432 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 12: I think pretty much everyone else does as well. So yeah, 433 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 12: it's uh, definitely, you know, twenty twenty five, it's gonna 434 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 12: be a good one. 435 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: Have you noticed a certain amount of growth from where 436 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 3: you were standing in this clubhouse a year ago to 437 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 3: where you are right now? 438 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I mean there's there's always growth right each year, 439 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 12: going all the way back to when I first got 440 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 12: traded over here in twenty one. You know, every single year, 441 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 12: I feel like I grow, and you know, through success, 442 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 12: through failure, all the stuff. You know, it's definitely the 443 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 12: adversity in the game of baseball. It's humbling, it's you know, 444 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 12: it's exciting, it's fun, but it's all worth it at 445 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 12: the end of the day. And you know, I gave 446 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 12: it my all off there and yeah, it's that's you know, Uh, 447 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 12: I love pitching, so that's uh. You know, at the 448 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 12: end of the day, like yesterday, I was like fired 449 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 12: up just to you know, get three outs. And you know, 450 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 12: that's just kind of how I play the game. 451 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 3: As much as this game will kick you right in 452 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 3: the teeth, don't you have to love it? Don't you 453 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 3: have to come here with that urgency and that joy? 454 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you. 455 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 12: Know, and even when you do get kicked in the teeth, right, 456 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 12: you look yourself in the mirror and like it's the 457 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 12: best possible position to be in. You know, it's I 458 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 12: wouldn't I wouldn't trade this for anything. You know, I 459 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 12: don't take it for granted. And you know, each day 460 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 12: I'm very thankful to be a part of this team, 461 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 12: and you know, it's it's very special, and you know 462 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 12: I make every day count. 463 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: On paper, you guys have an unbelievable rotation, the envy 464 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 3: of twenty nine other teams. I mean, you have basically 465 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 3: ten aces on paper. You have the one of the 466 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: best bullpens in baseball. On paper, you have an unbelievable 467 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: lineup all the way down with the length of it. 468 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: I mean, this is an envy of Major League Baseball. 469 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: So it's a destination. But you also have a massive 470 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 3: bullseye on your back. How do you handle it? 471 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean we I mean I can think I 472 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 12: touched on it a little bit ago. It's take one 473 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 12: game at a time. You know, it's one pitch, one out, 474 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 12: one inning. I mean, that's that's as easy as that. 475 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 12: And you know, yes, on paper, we're very good. But 476 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 12: at the same time, baseball is a very humbling game. 477 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 12: So we do have to still you know, hit pitch, 478 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 12: right field, play defense, score runs. You know, and that's 479 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 12: from the first inning to the ninth inning. Can you 480 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 12: know you can't get complacent. And you know, I think 481 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 12: that's the one thing in this room. Not a lot 482 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 12: of guys are complacent in here. And you know we're 483 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 12: we're still hungry. So that's a that's a good sign. 484 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: One of the things I love about you as you 485 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: pitched with emotion. 486 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: Where does that come from? 487 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 8: Big time? 488 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 12: A little bit of everything, right Division two baseball player. 489 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 12: I feel like I kind of wear my heart on 490 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 12: my sleeve, you know, but I like to show that 491 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 12: emotion and you know, it's it's never really towards an opponent. 492 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 12: It's always like I'm always hyped up to kind of 493 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 12: get the guys off the field, get them back in 494 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 12: the dugout so they can bang. So it's like that's 495 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 12: kind of that that's where that mentality is. And plus 496 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 12: like I mean, when when you get fifty thousand daughter stadium, 497 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 12: I mean, I'm for sure you know, as my sister 498 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 12: would say, like tweaking. 499 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 8: You know, it's just you know she always says that. 500 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 8: But yeah, it's fun. 501 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 12: Man, I get super super the like the adrenaline rush. 502 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 12: It's something that I can't explain, but I absolutely love it. 503 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 3: And many more outs.

That's what you need, That's what Dave Roberts needs. 511 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: I think that's a massive help for this team. We 512 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 4: saw in years past when you do get people that 513 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 4: were criticizing Dave Roberts, maybe me a time or two 514 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 4: in my life. 515 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 2: It's a few. 516 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 4: You don't have sources on this one, but it comes 517 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 4: down to bullpen management giving him a bunch of guys 518 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 4: who can do it all any position, as opposed to 519 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 4: trying to get that bridge to in the past Kenley Jensen, 520 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 4: where if Kenley's not on or your ninth inning guy 521 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: isn't on, you're gonna have a bad time. And sometimes 522 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 4: in the postseason. The team had a lot of bad 523 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 4: times along with the good times, but they're in a 524 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 4: great spot. This is such a well built organization top 525 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 4: to bottom. Yeah, you can nitpick, you can find some holes. 526 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 4: You can find some question marks second base, center field. 527 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 4: How's that gonna look. We'll talk about that more on 528 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 4: Monday when we're back home in our usual settings with 529 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 4: less wind. But you can't help but be very very 530 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 4: excited about this team and how that bullpen. 531 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: Is gonna shake out. 532 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 8: Yeah. 533 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 3: I love the way that you said that well built. 534 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 3: They are certainly well built in terms of the role. 535 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: And I think before when you had like a guy 536 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: that could very well be in the Hall of Fame 537 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 3: as far as a closer in Kelly Jensen, you feel like, 538 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 3: if it was the ninth inning, it had to go 539 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 3: to Kenley, no matter who was at the plate, no 540 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: matter what part of the order was coming up. So 541 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: I think it's interesting that there's a if you will, 542 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 3: of arms that you could go to in this much 543 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 3: more to come on Monday, of course, when we have 544 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 3: Miguil Rojas. We talked to Will Smith. We'll probably hear 545 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 3: from Anthony Bonda too. I realize he's in the bullpen. 546 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 3: What we're running out of time? So here from Campbell 547 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 3: back ranch, let's get to last licks and we're about 548 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 3: to blow right off the set, So let's get to it. 549 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 3: I wanted to introduce you to Kat the dog. She's 550 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 3: nine years old. 551 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: She's so cute. She was actually. 552 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: Dumped found as astray with the back leg issue, but 553 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: she's doing really well. She's in a foster home right now. 554 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: She's not quite ready to be adopted yet because poor 555 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: baby's been through it, so she needs some time to compress. 556 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: But we do need some supplies for her and some 557 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 3: vet donations. If you don't mind, just check her out 558 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: at Gidri's guardian dot org. No amount is too big 559 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: or too small. A dollar helps a lot, pretty pretty much. 560 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 3: Anything that you can do to help us, we would 561 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 3: greatly appreciate it. She will be up for adoption shortly, 562 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 3: but she needs some time to decompress. First Baseball a 563 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 3: thought for the road, And originally we were going to 564 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 3: say congratulations Dave Roberts on your thirty two million dollar 565 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: four year extension, but something came down the pike right 566 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: before we sat down, and this pisses me off. So 567 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: Bill shaken of the La Times with this information. The 568 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 3: Dodgers are the greatest poster children we could have had 569 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 3: for how something has to change. And that is a 570 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 3: quote from Dick Montford, the owner of the Colorado Rockies, 571 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 3: who came to Major League Baseball in nineteen ninety three, 572 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: and they've never won a division championship. Every single time 573 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 3: the rock Show has been in the postseason, it has 574 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 3: been via the wild card, which is nothing to sneeze at. 575 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 3: But you're the last person, unless you're maybe John Fisher, 576 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 3: that should be talking about something that's bad for baseball. 577 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 5: Yeah. 578 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 4: I mean, we've had a number of owners kind of 579 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 4: come out and cry poor. And listen, if the Dodgers 580 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 4: spent all this money this offseason or did not, Dick 581 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 4: Montfort was still not going to spend shit on his organization. 582 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: We know that that's not what the Rockies do. They're 583 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 4: not interested in being a good organization. They're interested in 584 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 4: doing just enough to get people in. Spend some money 585 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 4: on concessions, not a whole lot to do in Colorado. 586 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: I apologize, I. 587 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 4: Pretty good, But otherwise, listen, don't don't blame other teams. 588 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 4: Just say I don't want to spend Stop blaming the Dodgers. 589 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 4: Other teams got to stop blaming the Dodgers or also 590 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 4: the New York Mets, and and you know uncle uncle 591 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 4: Stevie Cohen and all of his boundless amounts of money. 592 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 3: To stop blaming the I mean for nothing, not for nothing, 593 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 3: I mean they have for of all, course Field is 594 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 3: a beautiful park.
