I love it 46 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: when I get to see baseball equipment being put into 47 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 3: a trailer and well apparently here a semi truck being 48 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: pulled up to the back of it, and that truck 49 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: driving the X amount of miles it is to Glendale, Arizona. 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: What does this do to to get the excitement going? 51 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, load it up, next up the ranch, That's what 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm calling it.

I have 54 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: zero things packed, zero things done. But we're gonna just 55 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: roll into my first Dodger spring. It's honestly like pretty 56 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: unfamiliar obviously, so we're going in with an open mind. 57 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: I don't want to say a lot expectations because obviously 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: that's not true, but I think think the ability to 59 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: be flexible will be my friend in my first week. 60 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: But I'm pumped up.

And I'm excited to just go to spring training, 67 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: go to pitchers and catchers and start doing the job 68 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: like boots on the ground, capital Ja journalism.

There's also this, There's also the 110 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: show Heyo Tani Kid. I've heard a lot about. He's 111 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: out there, he's throwing a medicine ball against a wall, 112 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 3: working out as well getting his throws in. I've just 113 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: we talked about it again last week, David says in 114 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: the chat, it's encouraging to see so many of these 115 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: guys showing up early. Obviously they don't need to be 116 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: there yet, what do you think this means? Like or 117 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: what does this mean to you? And being around different 118 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: teams and organizations all that to know that I don't 119 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: even know if it's an excitement thing for them, but 120 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: them being there earlier because they are chomping at the 121 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: bit that much to want to get back to work, Like, 122 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: how how special is that? How important is that for 123 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: a club? 124 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: I think it just goes to show the level of 125 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: commitment going into a season, and for this Dodgers team 126 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: that has played the latest of any team two years 127 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: in a row of formally expecting to compete very late 128 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: too October again this year. There's a reason they report date, 129 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: which is technically the thirteenth, so this Friday is a 130 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: bit later than every other team's. It's to give them 131 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 2: a couple of days back, because two or three days 132 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 2: and the scheme of a two hundred plus day season 133 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: really actually does kind of take a little bit of 134 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: the pressure off to start the year. But those guys 135 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: clearly are like, no, we have work to do. Let's 136 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: get out there. I want to be with this group 137 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: of guys. They had their sites set on a three P. 138 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: They've talked about it essentially since winning their last World 139 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 2: Series last year. So to be able to have and 140 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: it's not just a couple of guys, right, it's your 141 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: main guys, it's the big guys. You see Otani there, 142 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: you see Yamamotor there. That sets a precedent for this 143 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: team coming in, and yes, the Dodgers have already have 144 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: a pretty large precedent set. But to be able to 145 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: come in and just simplify things on February ninth, go 146 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: in and get your work done and get out there. 147 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: It sets a good tone to start the season. 148 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: And we're going to see more and more guys roll 149 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: up as reporters start to as well, to. 150 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: See, yeah, everybody should be showing up. You already mentioned 151 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: you're you're heading out there on on Wednesday, getting yourself 152 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: settled in and a lay of the land. There another guy, 153 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: Roki Sasaki there at at camel Back. We love to 154 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: see that. There was a video over the weekend MLB 155 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: Japan showing Roki, you know, getting a bullpen in an 156 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: actual mound session. Him here but not at camel Back Ranch, 157 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: which I thought. I thought it was a little weird. 158 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: You're reading anything into that or am I just my 159 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: you know, editor creationism here, sensationalism trying to make something. 160 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: I think he's where is he pitching at? I don't 161 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: even know where that's at. But him not at camel 162 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: Back when everybody else is there. Is there a story here? 163 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: What's going on? Is Roki mad at the Dodgers? 164 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: See this is where I'm here to pump the brakes, 165 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: calm down, everybody to take a deep breath. 166 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: No, and you know that's true. 167 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: He's just working out, just going out there getting some 168 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: I mean the fact that he's off and on right now. 169 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: It's super fun to see, you know, rokik after for 170 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: his rookie year last year, some highs, a lot of 171 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: lows not a lot of availability that he would have liked. 172 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: But I think this upcoming season it represents I think 173 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: Rokie Susaki two point zero because the Dodgers have a 174 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: better understanding of who he is as a pitcher. He 175 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: has a better understanding of who the Dodgers are as 176 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: an organization. And I do not want to underscore just 177 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: how difficult it is to come internationally to the major leagues, 178 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: have so much pressure on you as a big signing, 179 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: and then come out and be hurt. So I think 180 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: the level of understanding between the organization and the front 181 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: office and the player and his health should be at 182 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: a much better advantage point this year. I'm excited to 183 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: see what Susaki opens with spring. We've talked a lot 184 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: about the arsenal. I think Andrew Friedman on our show 185 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago was under the impression that the 186 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: arsenal doesn't necessarily need to be adjusted, it just needs 187 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: to be more effective. 188 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: Well, what does that look like? That's what we're going 189 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: to see as we searched for early spring storylines. 190 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: A good thing about the Dodgers I'm learning is that 191 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: no matter what, there seem to have plenty of storylines, 192 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: So I'm excited to dive into the Susaki one especially, 193 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: well a lot more once we get down there. 194 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, more storyline is what does that bullpen that was 195 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: supposed to be great last year? What does it look 196 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: like this year? If we're getting back into video and 197 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: shout out again Messaiah Kotani, who covers the team for 198 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: I think it's a full count full count, does a 199 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 3: great job getting getting great video for us here. But 200 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 3: you see ed Gardo Henriquez of course, one of those 201 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: kind of outlier arms we could sort of call him 202 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: in the bullpen. He's got elite stuff, one hundred mile 203 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: an hour fastball, absolutely disgusting slider. Can he put it 204 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: all together? Can he get a little bit better? And 205 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: then regular bullpen dogs, as we all know, we got 206 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 3: Blake trying, and we got Alex Vesia doing their wall work, 207 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: their their weighted ballwork, as it were. One guy. We 208 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: haven't talked about it here on the show since it 209 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: has happened, because it happened Friday and we were last 210 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: Live with Mark Pryor on on Thursday. Check that out 211 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: if you guys missed it. But there was a move, 212 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 3: there was a transaction, we are down one bullpen dog 213 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: as Alex Vessia, sorry not Alex Bessia, his teammate, Anthony 214 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 3: Bonda was Dfaid and the Dodgers that you're not even 215 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 3: in the scene. So I nailed that one. But Anthony Bonda, 216 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: Dfaid and Ben Hurtvett claimed off of waivers. What's kind 217 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 3: of the initial thought about that decision, that transaction? And well, 218 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: I guess really focus on the Bonda part that. 219 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: I was surprised to see Bonda up there. 220 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: You think over the last two years especially, he's been 221 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: one of the most reliable relievers for the Dodgers in 222 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 2: that bullpen. 223 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean in twenty twenty five. 224 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 2: I know there was some inconsistency from him in the postseason, 225 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: but what reliever can you not say that about in 226 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: last year's postseason, especially those early rounds. But the regular 227 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: season Bonda was so reliable, so durable, and he took 228 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: the ball seventy one times, had an ERA under three 229 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: to two from the left side. Any organization in baseball 230 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: is going to take that because durability as. 231 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: A reliever is relatively rare. 232 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: I mean, seventy one appearances is a lot, and this 233 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: is a guy that was always down for the assignment, 234 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: down for the innings, down for whatever the situation was 235 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: on the basis, he always was willing to take the ball. 236 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: So I was not surprised to see who the Dodgers picked, 237 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: and we'll get to that, but I was very surprised 238 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: to see the corresponding roster move in Bonda. It just 239 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: comes down to space, and there's a ton of lefty 240 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: relievers competing for spots in this bullpen, creating somewhat of 241 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: a log jam, and I think the Dodgers had to 242 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: make some difficult decisions. You go through what their forty 243 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: men looks like, and their lefty is there. I mean, 244 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: we've talked about this pretty much all off season with 245 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: their depth and the rotation. It also applies to the bullpen. 246 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: You just go down the list. There's a ton of 247 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: lefties that are going to be competing. So unfortunately for Bonda, 248 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: a fan favorite, best one of the best entrance songs 249 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: in baseball, who gets the cut? Again, not a name 250 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: I was expecting to see, but when you look at 251 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: where the roster stands, it does make sense. 252 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, a roster in the fact that you mentioned they 253 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: have all those lefty relievers, and you don't. He does 254 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: not have options this year. He is out of options. 255 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: So baseball at times is a numbers game. He leaves 256 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 3: LA as a two time World Series champion, he will 257 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: get himself a job somewhere, a big league job, and 258 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: hopefully have an opportunity to, you know, bring some of 259 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 3: that veteran leadership and some of that Dodgers moxie to 260 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: another club in need. The other part of that, though, 261 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 3: is the return or the re return I'm gonna call 262 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 3: it here of Ben Rhurtvett, who of course was with 263 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. He was the backup catcher for their World 264 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: Series run. They came to a one point six million 265 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: dollar deal or something like that early in the offseason. 266 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: Then he was claimed off waivers by the Reds, and 267 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: then the red said we don't want you after all, 268 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: and the Dodgers pick him back up here. I know 269 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 3: right away, people, the first concern, the first question is 270 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: it could Rourtvet end up being the backup catcher. Is 271 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: this a situation where they're maybe trying to get him 272 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: and pass them through way again, keep him in the 273 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: organization as triple A depth or is he somebody that 274 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: maybe could you know, play his way to a backup 275 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: role in Dalton Rushing going back to Triple A to 276 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: get some more seasoning. 277 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: What do you think I think of all three of 278 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 2: those options presented, the second one makes the most sense, 279 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: and it would you know, the Dodgers pick last my 280 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: understanding through waivers and that order does not change till 281 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 2: opening day, so they could if they feel the need 282 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: to or feel forced to, try to see if they 283 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: can pass them through waivers again since he made it 284 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: to them the last time. Dalton Rushing is fascinating for 285 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: me and so many fans for so many different reasons. 286 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: Because you have Will Smith and he's going to get 287 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 2: the bulk of the time behind the plate. 288 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: We know this. 289 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: What does this mean for Dalton Rushing? How are the 290 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: Dodgers going to use him? What does it mean for 291 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: his long term development? This is their top prospects for 292 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: a super long time. I don't think that not much 293 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: has really changed for how the Dodgers view him. It's 294 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: just a more of a can you take those steps forward? 295 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: What is he going to show in spring? And then 296 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 2: LA can make a decision from there. But I don't 297 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: think this is necessarily putting his spot on the roster 298 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: at risk, just trying to get as much depth as 299 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: possible in a position where you know you always need 300 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 2: a third string catcher, you always need catching depth there, 301 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: So why not bring him back when the Dodgers were 302 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: pretty confident they'd be able to do so. He has 303 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: had a pretty topsy turvy winter, but not nearly as 304 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: much as our beloved king Michael Cianni, who is back 305 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: with the organization after like sixteen different releases. This is 306 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: a pro Mike Sianni podcast, just to let the viewers know. So, look, 307 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: it might be hard for our pile Ben out there, 308 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: but Mike Siani hasn't been. 309 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely love the idea of having another grown 310 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: up like catching option. I don't think he I agree 311 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: with you. I don't think he ends up kind of 312 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: usurping that backup role from Dalton Rushing unless Dalton just 313 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: really has an absolutely abysmal spring training. That job belongs 314 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: to Dalton Rushing. But there's an opportunity. There's absolutely space 315 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: for Ben Rhurtvett to either be a backup catcher or 316 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: the day catcher at Triple A, and you know, having 317 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 3: somebody with the experience Ben Rtveatt has having him kind 318 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: of you know, pilot that minor league staff, and there's 319 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 3: some some important arms down there at Triple A Oklahoma City. 320 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: Having him still in the organization and and and what 321 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: he can bring with like the intangibles he brings to 322 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: the table World Series Champion.

Get your Dodgers questions in. We'll be here 358 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 3: for a little bit talking to the folks talking to 359 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: the fam here. We do have some folks who already 360 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 3: have some thoughts lined up in the chat and Craig, 361 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: I mean, this just pigged, you know, piggybacks off of 362 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 3: the conversation we're just having. Craig asking what are the 363 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: percentages of Dalton Rushing winning that backup job? To me, 364 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 3: it feels like almost a lock, unless again, there's an 365 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: injury or he just has the worst spring training. What 366 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: do you got it at, Katie, Yeah. 367 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, Clint. 368 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy the Dodgers have a 369 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: luxury in terms of they just have so much talent, 370 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: and Dalton Rushing fits that bill. So you don't give 371 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: up on a guy this early. You're gonna give him 372 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: a ton of run in the spring. Again, we talked 373 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: about Will Smith having that starting catching job. We know 374 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: he's not going anywhere, but I be very surprised unless 375 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 2: the wheels just completely fall off the spring. If we 376 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 2: see Dalton Russian status in the organ like if we 377 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 2: see Dalton Rushian's status of the Orc fall, Wow, that's 378 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: just such a Monday today. 379 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: It's got I mean again, super Bowl. We're all hammered, 380 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: still high on food as well, like give us some 381 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 3: grace here, people showtime LA and the chat asking odds 382 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 3: that Evan Phillips re signs when this sixty day injured 383 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: list opens up. Of course, there's something we're trying to 384 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 3: figure out. Still, you're trying to figure out when does 385 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: that sixty day i L open up, because we assume 386 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: there will be a KIK re signing pretty soon. But 387 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: this is another guy, Evan Phillips. We've heard a little 388 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: bit of maybe some other teams, maybe somebody like Boston 389 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 3: exploring him while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. What 390 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: have you heard about Phillips? And you know, what are 391 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 3: the chances he ends up back in LA. 392 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when you're thinking about the sixty day 393 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: I L there are two guys that you're looking for 394 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: the Dodgers to bring back. 395 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: And you said it, Clint, it's keyk and it's Evan Phillips. 396 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: Keik Hernandez coming. 397 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 2: Off of tennis elbow surgery, I believe, and I'm not 398 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: sure the timetable when he's going to be ready, but 399 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 2: we do know unfortunately, he will not be playing in 400 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic, will not be representing Team Puerto 401 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: Rico this year, but it just kind of always made sense, 402 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: and I don't think it'd be any big surprise for 403 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: him to come to the Dodgers or re sign with 404 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: the Dodgers when that sixty day il opens, because he's 405 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: probably not going to be ready to start the season. 406 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 2: Same with Evan Phillips coming back from Tommy John surgery. 407 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 2: We're looking at what June maybe to start throwing the 408 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 2: ball again, be ready around July August. So there's no 409 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: need for the Dodgers to bring him back right now. 410 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: And that's part of the reason why they non tendered 411 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: him back in November was because they needed those forty 412 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: man spots. Even the Dodgers have their need to be 413 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 2: you know, what's the word I'm looking for, frugal. 414 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: There we go there for you. 415 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm talking. 416 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: So when this and. 417 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: I believe the sixty day ile opens up sometime this week, 418 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: when that officially happens and player our teams are able 419 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: to store injured players there and free up some forty 420 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: man spots, I imagine we'll see a Kek signing at 421 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 2: the minimum, But definitely keep your eyes open for Evan 422 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: Philip because I know that's someone that they had a 423 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 2: lot of interest in bringing back. 424 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean e Philly high leverage honey Bun as 425 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: we call him here on the show. It's been just 426 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 3: absolutely phenomenal when healthy, been phenomenal for this team. Obviously, 427 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: would not be the closer for the organization anymore. I 428 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 3: picked up some a number of saves over the last 429 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 3: couple of years, but still somebody that you know, you 430 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: could plug into any sort of situation and he's gonna 431 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 3: get you the out. He's likely to get you out, 432 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 3: the three outs, whatever you need, so hopefully ends up 433 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 3: back a very important piece. He's been a very important 434 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 3: piece of that bullpen. Kind Of on this thought, you know, 435 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 3: we could all pretty much pocket the idea that Kei 436 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: k Hernandez will be back with the team. The off 437 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 3: season is essentially over. How would you grade this off 438 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: season for the Boys in Blue? 439 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: Great question. 440 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 2: The Dodgers really kind of downplayed their need for any 441 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 2: kind of additions in the early part of the off season, 442 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 2: and I guess that's you're the only team that can 443 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: get away with doing that as a team that has 444 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 2: won back to back World Series champions. But that's just 445 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 2: not how a blockbuster team operates. So Andrew Feven Brandon 446 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: Gomes were strategic. They said, you know. 447 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: We like our core. Obviously there's a lot to like. 448 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: They identified two areas of the roster they could improve 449 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: for the right fit. You're talking the bullpen and you're 450 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: talking the outfield. So what do the Dodgers do. They 451 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: signed the best available player at each position Edwin Diaz 452 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: is their closer. Kyle Tucker is their newest outfielder. He'll 453 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: be hitting second or third for the Dodgers this year. 454 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 2: If you're going to make two real major additions to 455 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: your roster, you might as well do it with the 456 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 2: best possible names you can get. And the Dodgers did 457 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: exactly that. So I think that makes them clear winners 458 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: in my books. Honestly, they could have done nothing and 459 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: they probably still would have been the favorites to win 460 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 2: the World Series. Again, that they got Das and that 461 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: they got Tucker just skyrocketed those odds. So, Dodgers fans 462 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 2: looking for a threepeat, I think you should be pretty 463 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: happy with how your team looks heading into pitchers and 464 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: catchers on Friday. 465 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you enter the off season with a clear 466 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: outfield need and you signed the best available free agent. 467 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 3: And you also enter the off season with a clear 468 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 3: back into the bullpen need and you signed the top 469 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: available free agent. I would give that a strong A 470 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 3: plus plus plus. That's an S tier kind of off season. 471 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 3: And yeah, I love the slide of hand from the 472 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: front office all off season, like yeah, yeah, if something happens, cool, 473 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: If not, you know, we're fine. And then meanwhile it's like, hey, 474 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: get your ass over here. We want to win three 475 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 3: in a row. And they are set up. They are 476 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 3: absolutely set up. They are prime to I love this one. 477 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna put it up there, even though it's 478 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 3: not really a question Michael asking or to bring it up. 479 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: Katie's kitchen. Where are we at? Are we in the kitchen? 480 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: I forget We've talked about. This is the laundry room. 481 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: Where are we at again? 482 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: It's a makeshift kitchen slash laundry room because my washer 483 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: and dryer are also in here. Just cut me some slack, okay, 484 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: By the time here's my promise, DT fan, by the 485 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: time opening days start, I will actually have set at 486 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: my desk. Also, get rid of the wine bottles in 487 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: the back. That's a great look. That's awesome. 488 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: No, you need to help one. 489 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: We do, thank you. 490 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 2: It's past twelve. I could start if I wanted to, 491 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: But so next three and a half weeks, four weeks, 492 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: that's right. Don't expect anything better. The reviews are going 493 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: to be my sad, sad Phoenix hotel rooms. So we're 494 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: gonna go down before we get up. 495 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, it's a long season, guys. It's not about 496 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 3: how you start, it's about how you finish. Justin there 497 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 3: was a couple comments in here asking and we've talked 498 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 3: about it a little bit, I think, more so you 499 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: me Alana have spoken about it before shows. But how 500 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: you liken the so Cal winner versus you know, Saint 501 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: Louis and more so the eastern side of the States. 502 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: I am surprised I haven't been like kicked out of 503 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 2: my group chat back in Saint Louis because I live 504 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: in Manhattan Beach and I walk every day bring back 505 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: Hawk Roll walks in twenty twenty six, and I send 506 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: a picture of the ocean every day and my friends 507 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: respond with pain and suffering because they're like Estyle and Missouri. 508 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: A bunch of them just left her Florida though, so 509 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: my leverage, my power in the situation has dwindled rapidly. 510 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, this is insane. 511 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: I cannot believe people willingly choose to live in igloos 512 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 2: essentially could never be again, no way. 513 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm already noticing that on your Instagram. By the way, 514 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: since recently following you seeing I'm seeing the ocean views. 515 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: It's looking. 516 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: But now it's going to be backfields time. 517 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 3: So that's also that's also a great amount of fun. 518 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 3: Give her follow or don't, I don't know, follow her 519 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 3: on Twitter. It's it's our Twitter, ax, It's it's a 520 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 3: lot better for sure. David Lee said that that he 521 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: would watch dark competition from MLB Pictures. I could definitely 522 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 3: see that becoming a racket. I could see people gambling 523 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 3: a whole bunch a bunch on that shout out Calshi 524 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: sponsor your boy. I don't even know what that is. 525 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: I think I know what it is. 526 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: It's not it's like a very yeah bring back special k. 527 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: I think it's still around. I don't know. I'm a 528 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: Cheerios when I'm trying to eat my healthy cereal. You 529 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: could tell it goes a long way. Aaron has a 530 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 3: question about Edgardo Henricuz. Somebody already puts some eyes on 531 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: here at camel Back Ranch already not here, but there. 532 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: You know, is this kind of the season? Is it? 533 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 3: Not called it a make or break but for the 534 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: sake of a question here on the spot, is this 535 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 3: a make or break kind of season for Edgardo Henriquez 536 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: as he enters his third year with big league time? 537 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: What do you think? 538 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 2: It's hard to say, because he has such potential, right, 539 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 2: he has all the tools, he has the makeup. It's 540 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: just about the execution. The Dodgers, however, are a very 541 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: competitive team. I don't have Rika's options off the top 542 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 2: of my head here, I'm learning, give me time. 543 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, he has options this year, so we got that 544 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: working for him, that. 545 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: Hope, right, there's no brush for him to figure it out. 546 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 2: It'd obviously be nice too, but there's no pressure like 547 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: a bond a situation where the options essentially force the decision. 548 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: Here, when you have that much talent and. 549 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 2: The Dodgers do a fantastic job at developing talent, and 550 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: the minor leagues try to hone in, you know, not 551 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: a necessarily make or break it year. I would imagine 552 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: he's one of those guys that kind of rides the 553 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 2: Dodgers Oklahoma City shuttle plane. 554 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 3: I don't know, ye, a lot of frequent flyer miles. 555 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, get that Southwest card. Don't get me started 556 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 2: on Southwestern policies. By the way, that's a tangent we 557 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 2: don't have time for. But no, it's not a make 558 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 2: or break season, I don't think. Because he has those options, 559 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: and because the Dodgers have a lot of depth, he's 560 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: just going to be a key depth piece in that 561 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: bullpen if he can figure it out, though, that's a 562 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: lights out weapon for some middle innings. 563 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we know over the course of one's sixty 564 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: two it's how important it is to have, you know, 565 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: that next man up mentality. They talk about it every 566 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: year in that Dodgers clubhouse. It's not just the twenty 567 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 3: six dudes you see here in this room. It's about 568 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 3: the forty man. It's about the organization beyond just the 569 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: forty man. And you know, if if Henriquez doesn't answer 570 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 3: the bell or he doesn't get that call for the 571 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: opening day roster, that's opening day roster. It's it's like 572 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: it doesn't mean all of that much. It's about what 573 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 3: you do to help an organization with the course of 574 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 3: a long season. So again, if he doesn't get that 575 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: call for opening Day, he will help. He will contribute 576 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 3: to this team at some point in some way, shape 577 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 3: or form, and that's that's what's most important for them. 578 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: They got a lot of other really, really good options, 579 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 3: and I love the competition for this club. A little 580 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 3: bit more on the competition. We have a few people 581 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 3: asking about Kyle Hurt, and we'll make this last question 582 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: before moving on to last licks. Appreciate you guys jumping 583 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 3: into the chat with us here. But Yong Ye Showtime 584 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: La a few people asking about kind of more of 585 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: the final roster spots sort of dudes. Yonge was asking 586 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 3: about Kyle Hurt, justin Rableski, do we think they would 587 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: make the bullpen if there's no injury? And then also 588 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: show Time La asking about Will Klein will he make 589 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 3: that opening day bullpen. I was a little surprised, you know, 590 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 3: when we spoke with Mark Pryor last week, you know, 591 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 3: he kind of brought up Will Clin on his own. 592 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 3: I'm I haven't personally been as high on Will Clin 593 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: just because you know, he's not had a hero heroic 594 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: moment there. Absolutely they don't win that World Series most 595 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 3: likely without him and what he did in Game three. 596 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 3: But he's not Edwin Diaz or Alex Messier or Blake 597 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 3: trying to he doesn't have all of the accolades, So 598 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 3: I see him as somebody kind of on the outside 599 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 3: looking in along with ed Gardo. But what do you 600 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 3: think sort of of these names that obviously understandably you're 601 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 3: kind of getting to know a little bit more. What 602 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: do you think of some of these guys sort of 603 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 3: rounding out that bullpen early in the season with you know, 604 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 3: younger dudes like Hurt and Rebleski and all of that. 605 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 2: These are great questions, and they're very similar to what 606 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: the Dodgers brass is asking, And a lot of this 607 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: will depend on how the Dodgers plan to use their 608 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: starting rotation early in the season. 609 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: We talked with Dave Roberts. 610 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: He said this sense of the winter meetings, he's contemplating 611 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: maybe open the year with a six man rotation or. 612 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: A hybrid using the off days. 613 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: The doctors have a few in April to kind of 614 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: give the his starters some leeway, some breathing room in April. 615 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: We know about the usage already impacting guys like Blake Snell, 616 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: who going to be a little delayed in spring. Otani 617 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 2: is going to be used as a full time starter, 618 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 2: but likely not or definitely not on a regular five day, 619 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: consistent schedule. So if the Dodgers want to get creative 620 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: and spot start some guys, that's going to impact how 621 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: they use their bullpen. So it's really hard to say 622 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: right now, but I will go down out and. 623 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Make this prediction. It's not going to be just based 624 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: on performance. 625 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 2: The Dodgers specifically, their bullpen is not going to roll 626 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: out for opening Day based on the guys that had 627 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 2: one hundred percent in the best camp. It's going to 628 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 2: be guys that are versatile that can spot start. You're 629 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: looking at she and He's going to get a lot 630 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: of consideration for that role. You're looking at guys that 631 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 2: can take multiple innings, two, maybe three, just depending on 632 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 2: what the starting rotation needs. Once Los Angeles can kind 633 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: of define what its starting rotation is going to look 634 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: like the workload for guys like Otani, like Yamamoto, like Sasaki, 635 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 2: like Snell, then they can kind of piece together the bullpen. 636 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 2: But I think these things are so closely tied together 637 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: that it's really hard for me to visualize the Dodgers 638 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: putting up traditional eight man bullpen, especially if they're already 639 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: contemplating a potential hybrid rotation. So that's what I'm going 640 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: to be monitoring as we see the spring goes on. 641 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: But I don't think we're gonna have answers to those 642 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,239 Speaker 2: questions really until the latter half, when we see how 643 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: these starters are really taking shape, you know, notching three, 644 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: four or five innings. That obviously doesn't happen until mid March. 645 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 3: What I'm really looking forward to is the panic we're 646 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: going to have when we are two two and a 647 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 3: half weeks into the season and they're throwing out their 648 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 3: first bullpen game.
