1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was a joke when I first heard it.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't like grasp that Major League Baseball would actually

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: make that a rule.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: It's just weird.

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to a brand new live

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 3: edition on this Thursday afternoon. If you're on the East

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: coast Thursday morning, I guess just barely afternoon on the

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: West coast of Dodgers Territory, we are your hosts for

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 3: the next half an hour. I am Alana Rizzo. That

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: is my guy clip to see us. Thanks so much

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: for being here. Rate us five stars, like subscribe, all

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: the things, tell your friends, put us on your Christmas list,

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 3: all of the different things. We appreciate it. We're excited.

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: We're going to be joined by two time World Series

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: champion and one of the longest tenured Dodgers, Austin Barnes,

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 3: the real ab coming up here momentarily. And by the way,

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 3: before I forget Blake Trinon, who I hope is a

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: Dodger next year, who very much helped the Dodgers win

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: the World Series this year, was just on Foul Territory

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: and a great interview with Eric Kratz and Trevor mace

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: So please check that out. It was a lot of fun.

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Thank you. Time now to get to the big ticket,

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Let's do it. I'm loving what I'm here in Clint.

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: I'm hearing that Taoscar Hernandez hashtag EXTENTEO and the Los

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers, your favorite team, are close to perhaps nailing

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: the final details of the contract now. Matthew Moreno, who

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: is a friend of the program, does a great job

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: as well covering this team, said that David Vessey on

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: the Petros and Money Show was talking about the fact

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: that ta Oscar is telling people his understanding is that

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: ta Oscar is going to resign with the daughters. Many

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: people around the league expecting that to happen, find their

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: way back to each other. The Dodgers in TASCAR are

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: very much engaged in trying to nail the final details

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: of a contract. So things are looking good for Tioscar

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers to reunite, if you will. Now Ken

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: Rosenthal on Fair Territory this morning with Ken Rosenthal didn't

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: know how deep in terms of finalization it was, but

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: it it looks like Tao's going to be back in

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: right field. I mean, this is what this fan base needed.

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: To hear. It just makes sense.

42
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, as we've gone through all the Wan Sodo talk

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: and an offseason talk Taoskar Hernandez, we keep coming back

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: to this guy because we'll say it. We've said it

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: in a million times, We'll say it again. Taoskar Hernandez

46
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: wants to be a Dodger. Dodgers fans really really want

47
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: him to be a Dodger. Even if Wan Soto comes

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 4: to LA. I think people still really really want this

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: man to be a Dodger. He's fun, he fits the

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: clubhouse cohesion, it's there. We know what he brings to

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: that team, but we also know what he brings to

52
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 4: that lineup. So if you're able to add him back

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: to the mix, whether it be in right field, left field,

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: whatever the plan is, it's a move that needs to happen.

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: And I fully do believe that Vess is onto something.

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: Maybe some of the.

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: Logistics are a little bit off, but I do trust

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: Dave Vessa when it comes to players, especially players he knows,

59
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 4: and we know he knows Taskar Hernandez well, no.

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: Question, Davesa has been covering this team for the better

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: part of two decades. I can't wait for this to

62
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: actually be official of when Blake Snell was official. I

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: loved obviously when Tommy Edmund was official. Let's make this

64
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: official as well. So does this in your opinion, if

65
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: they get him, does this finally put to bed the

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Wan Soto and Los Angeles Dodgers talks or is there

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: still a little bit of an opening there?

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: It feels like with the Dodgers, at least these this

69
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: version of the Dodgers that have all of the money

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: in the world. They're manufacturing money, they're at Dodgers Stadium.

71
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: I just don't think you can close the door on

72
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: any one SODO talk and we're hearing the latest. Of course,

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: Dodgers remain amongst the finalists. Jeff pass and reporting Dodgers

74
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: are in there. John Hayman confirming or stating the same

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: in rumors this morning as well. About a half an

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: hour before we go live. All five teams that we

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: heard a couple days ago were in the mix on

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: Juan Soto, including the Dodgers, are still in the mix.

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: And we know it's north of six hundred million dollars.

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: That's at least the target finances right now, maybe twelve

81
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: years in length. I'll say I think the door is

82
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: not closed, but he'd really need to barge through that

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: door to end up signing with the Dodgers. What's your

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: stance on on Sodo and where he ends up?

85
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think whoever gets him is going to have

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: to pay a pretty hefty price tag. And I'm talking

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: about more than six hundred million. We had Buster only

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: on fair tor or foul Territory just a few moments ago,

89
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: talking about the whole fact that the Toronto Blue Jays

90
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: really are in this desperation mode of trying to prove, like,

91
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: you know, they want to sign this guy, perhaps like

92
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: a you know, a face of the franchise, and Trevor

93
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: May was even saying to you, if you get you know,

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: if you get a Jan Soto in Canada, see you later,

95
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, because that's that's a massive deal, right,

96
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: You'll have the whole country behind you. And having missed

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: out on show Heyo Tani and having missed out on

98
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: some other folks, perhaps that's the way that they can,

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: for lack of a better word, redeem themselves. So whoever

100
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 3: gets Sodo, it's gonna have to be at a massive,

101
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: massive price tag. I think it's going to be at

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: an overpaid price tag. I still don't think it's la

103
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: And I'm okay with that great player, great player, young player,

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: a lot of value there. I just don't think you

105
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 3: need to spend that price tag if you're Los Angeles,

106
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: if you're Toronto and it's been a minute since you've

107
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: been there, if you're San Francisco and it's been a

108
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: minute since you've been there. Okay, not that San Francisco

109
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: is in the running, but my point is you don't

110
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: need him. As the Dodgers. You know, you don't need him.

111
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 3: If you're the Dodgers, you you just want a World series.

112
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: You don't have to prove a point. So I'm happy

113
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: to take tay Oscar back. And by the way, you

114
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: can also get Blake Tryning back, who we just had

115
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: on pal territory. Then he said he has nothing but

116
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 3: great things to say about the Los Angeles Dodgers. He

117
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: obviously can't really address free agency, it's not in his

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: best interest to do so publicly, but he said he

119
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: loves the organization. He's keeping it all at arm's length.

120
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: But there's nothing that I would like more than for

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: Blake trying to be back in La So.

122
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Soto and Toronto. I mean it's a move that

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: I think Toronto really needs to make. They you know,

124
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: they're still scorn from show Hay not being on that

125
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: plane a year ago. They have money, you know, the

126
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: Rogers family or whatever whoever the owners are, they.

127
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: Have money and they need to make a move.

128
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 4: But it's also we've heard Scott Boris talk about it,

129
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: as I say, Scott Braun, but you know he's too

130
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: busy today with like love and stuff.

131
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 5: But Scott Scott.

132
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: Boris is pointing out smartly, not shockingly, that one Soda

133
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: would like to also go to a contender. He would

134
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 4: like to go to a team that is ready to win.

135
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 4: In Toronto, you know, they got they got a couple

136
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: of guys, a couple of stars that are in their

137
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: final years of a deal. So I as much as

138
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: it comes down to money or maybe they have to overpay.

139
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 4: If I'm on Sodo, I'm still looking at this as

140
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: I could. I could stay in New York go play

141
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: for the Mets. Steve Cohen's got a butt ton of money,

142
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: and there's something brewing there at City Field, much less

143
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: so than what's happening at Rogers Center.

144
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: Here's what I would say, though, and we've said this before.

145
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: We said this on the Monday show of Dodgers Territory,

146
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: that the Dodgers, whoever's gonna like, hurry up because the

147
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: more they wait, the longer that they the price tag

148
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: on Taoscar Hernandez is going to go up in the

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: interest level for the other four teams that don't get Soto.

150
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna make ta Oscar look pretty deep, pretty deep,

151
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: pretty deep, pretty good. So give the man three or

152
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: seventy million dollars or whatever the heck it is. Let's

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: lock him in right field that you know he wants

154
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: to be there. Let's get this done. You know, I

155
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: don't know, by the way, that's something we definitely want,

156
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: you know something we definitely don't want. The stupid golden

157
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: at bat role. What are we doing?

158
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: This thing is absurd? And of course Austin Barnes will

159
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: be joining us soon, So I'm really interested in a

160
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: player's take on this. Most players are talking about this,

161
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, what what intarre nation is? This idea?

162
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: Did?

163
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: Did people at MLB just smoke crack and see what

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: came out of it? I hate the idea. You don't

165
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: need to make baseball into some sort of weird spectacle.

166
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: It's already perfect. I love the rules that they most

167
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: recently implemented. Of course, you know Alana covering this team.

168
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: It's nice to be able to get out of the

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: ballpark early or an earlier postgame show or whatever it is.

170
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: That's been lovely, that's been great. But to to have

171
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: a player, and we don't know the logistics of it,

172
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: because again they're literally just making it up, they're just

173
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: talking aloud right now. To have players, you know, a

174
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: player be able to come up at any point in.

175
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: The game and and hit, and.

176
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: Then everybody's just cool with that. I saw, you know,

177
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Blake trying to talk about like as a reliever.

178
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: It's stupid.

179
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: The old switcherrou I hate the idea. The game is

180
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: good now, you don't need to gamify it. I'd rather

181
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 4: see something like they do in Japan or do outside

182
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: of the States. Make more of a hullabaloo, like in

183
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: between innings at Cheerleaders, fan fair, fireworks.

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: Whatever you need to do. All you need to do

185
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: is go to a Savannah Bananas game, which is so

186
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: much fun. Like so that that's cool, but that's what

187
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: that's meant to be. That's what the creator and you know,

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: and the people organized organizing the Savannah Bananas wanted, and

189
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: it's a blast. You can't even get a flip and

190
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: ticket do not. I don't understand and why we want

191
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: to make major League baseball so gimmicky. And I guess

192
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: give Rob Manford credit that you know, and Ken Rosenthal

193
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: Broke brought this up earlier. Get him some credit, I

194
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: guess for talking having people talk about baseball in the offseason,

195
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: because the Winter meetings haven't even started. One Soto hasn't signed,

196
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: and people are talking about this, but people active players

197
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: versus inactive players are talking about this, and it's not

198
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: a single person that I have seen yet is in

199
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: favor of this, even Buster only, who said that, you know,

200
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: he was opposed to the wild card and ended up

201
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: liking it. He was opposed to the pitchclock and ended

202
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: up liking it. He is not in favor, of course,

203
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: of the golden batrole. So we'll definitely ask Austin when

204
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: we can when he gets you know, on here in

205
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: just a few minutes. So I think it's I think

206
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: it's absolutely silly.

207
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: Let's spin back for a second. To Soto Tao talk.

208
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: There's also the other big name on the market, Willia Domison.

209
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: It feels like Taoscar Hernandez, you know, echoing off of

210
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 4: what you said a minute ago about you need to

211
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 4: sign Tao now before the price goes up. If if

212
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 4: Soto signs, the price goes up immediately on Taoskar Hernandez.

213
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: The same with Williadamas who a lot of teams. You know,

214
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: we're hearing reports saying that that's kind of the fallback

215
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: plan is going Willia Damas maybe spreading the wealth around.

216
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: Would you say that, uh, like tail gets done before Sodo.

217
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 4: Do you think a Taoscar signing or resigning needs to

218
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 4: happen before Jan Soto if the Dodgers are going to

219
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: not have to, you know, pay an extra premium on them.

220
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: I mean, it all depends on how serious the Dodgers

221
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: are about SODO. I mean, I don't think. I don't

222
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: think a signing with one Soto or excuse me, what

223
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: Taoscar Hernandez happens? If the Dodgers are legitimately trying to

224
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: get Sodo, and again with this blind bidding situation, you

225
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: really don't know what's happening. And I said this earlier

226
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: on one of the shows. I said, just say just

227
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: offer whatever it is and say we're going to go

228
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 3: one dollar higher, because then you're guaranteed to have the

229
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: highest bid. So we're going to offer whatever the other

230
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: whatever the other team is that has the winning bid

231
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: at the time, we're offering one dollar more or making

232
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: a million more for I mean, who cares that, Seve

233
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: hundred million, what's seven hundred and one million? Who gives

234
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: a crap? You know, offer one million more dollar and

235
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: then that's it. Then you win, right. It depends on

236
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: how much the Dodgers legitimately want one Soto. I think

237
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: if they sign if they signed Taoscar first, they never

238
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: had the true intent of signing one Soto to begin with,

239
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: which again, I'd rather get three really good players than

240
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: one superstar.

241
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I agree with that one.

242
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 4: But we can ask our guest here, Alana, and why don't

243
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: you go ahead and introduce this guy you know very

244
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 4: very well.

245
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: All right, Austin Barnes is one of my favorite people

246
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: in the world, including his beautiful wife Nicole, their son Royce.

247
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 3: I've known Austin for a really long time, kind enough

248
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: to join us now from I believe you're an az Austin,

249
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: thank you so much for being with us on Dodgers' territory.

250
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: Congratulations my two time world champion friend. How are you.

251
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Good?

252
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: That sounds good on two times, but yeah, I'm good.

253
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: We're just you know, in the middle of season skin

254
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: going with the family.

255
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So let me take you back to

256
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: obviously Game five of the World Series and a situation

257
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: where you know, of course, a lot of people Austin

258
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: said that in twenty twenty when you guys won it

259
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,239
Speaker 3: and we were all in Texas, that it was an asterisk.

260
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: Now they can send that stupid asterisk to the moon

261
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: because you guys legitimately had one of the hardest seasons

262
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 3: you've ever been through with injury. How gratifying was that

263
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: for you to be able to hoist that trophy in

264
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: a regular season as well.

265
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, people will talk a lot about twenty twenty.

266
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: To me, twenty twenty you will always be a real

267
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: World Series. Everybody had the same shot to win it,

268
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: but to do it in one sixty two the Yankee Stadium,

269
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: it's just really hard to win.

270
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: It's it's not easy. Baseball is a really hard game.

271
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: We've been there so many times, you know, Houston, Boston,

272
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: then one in twenty twenty, and then doing it in

273
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: New York.

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: You know it was special. It was special.

275
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: I think anytime you get a chance to win with

276
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: the group of guys, it's something that you know sticks

277
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: with you forever.

278
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: And you know it was.

279
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: It was something I'm glad of my family can go through,

280
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: got to go through again, and nothing I take for granted.

281
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: Hey, let's talk about that parade. That was a fun

282
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 4: thing to watch it. It looks like it was a

283
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: lot of fun for you guys there on those buses

284
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 4: going to the stadium, watching everybody get maybe a little

285
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 4: more hammered in public than you would usually see. What

286
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: was your experience like going through all that, watching the

287
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: boys really taiwan on and more so celebrating with what

288
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 4: looked like you felt like just the entire city of

289
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: I realize I forgot the switch camera. Sorry about that.

290
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: The entire city of Los Angeles watching you there, now, I.

291
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: Was blown away. Obviously we didn't get one in twenty twenty.

292
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: You know, I talked to Seeger and I talked to

293
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: Jock after they won in Atlanta and with the rangers

294
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: and they said, man, we got robbed. They said the

295
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: parade was crazy, and they were right. You know, I think, uh,

296
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: there was a lot of pent up aggression or something

297
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: from the Dodger fans and they showed out, and you know,

298
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how many people were actually there. There

299
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: was was like do people have the real number now?

300
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: Someone said like a couple of million or it.

301
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 4: Was supposed to be like supposed to be like two

302
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 4: million or something like that.

303
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 5: An insane amount of people. But yeah, to trick it.

304
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: This was the first time since nineteen eighty eight that

305
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: we've been able to go out and party and have

306
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: the parade. So people showed out.

307
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: No, I thought it was you know, it was crazy.

308
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: I remember just taking it in and I seen some

309
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: coffetti in.

310
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,359
Speaker 1: The flat in the in the sea of blue.

311
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: People and it was just it was it was crazy.

312
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: They were throwing some people with throw beers at us.

313
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: It got kind of dangerous though. That was I think

314
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: somebody got hit in the head. I think it was

315
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: Hudson's wife. Actually that's a good idea. She got Yeah, No,

316
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: that wasn't good, but she got smoked. But besides that,

317
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: it was really fun. You know, obviously the guys, the

318
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: guys got going. They there was some beer bongs, there

319
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: were some shots or some cigars, and you know, that's

320
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: something that we've all been waiting for since we, you know,

321
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: started playing this game.

322
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: Hey, what was Dave Jack by the way, hold on,

323
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: what was Dave drinking to go up there with ice cube?

324
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: He was he was. I'm not sure. I saw that dance.

325
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: I saw that dance with the ice cube. He was

326
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: doing it. He was letting loose. I guess, I'm not sure.

327
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: But the ice cube thing was that during the during

328
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: the World Series, when I see you did that thing?

329
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: Before the first I knew he was going out there,

330
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: I thought, I thought that was really cool. I thought

331
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: that was one of the coolest things I've seen. I

332
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: knew we were about to go play a baseball game.

333
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: But that was sick.

334
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was second. Then, of course New York has

335
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: Fat Joe, and we're all like, what the f is happening?

336
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: Fat Joe? Come on now, Austin. It was so great

337
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: to uh to know that you're coming back for the

338
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five, and obviously you're the one of

339
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: the longest tenured Dodgers. What's it been like for you?

340
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: Just going through the whole process. I remember when you

341
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: were traded over and getting to know you for the

342
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: first you know, a couple of times, and just seeing

343
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: all the different iterations of this team. What's that been

344
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: like for you?

345
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: It's uh, you know, it's been a journey obviously, been

346
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: being here for so long. You know. I grew up

347
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: obviously in uh, southern California, not too far away from

348
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: l A, about an hour about our east. Grew up

349
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: loving the Dodgers. Just the opportunities, you know, the Dodgers,

350
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: you know, you always have you have the opportunity to

351
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: be to be great with them. You know, you have

352
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: the opportunity of the playoffs every year. You know, you

353
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: guys have that goal. You know, there's a lot that

354
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: goes with it. You know, the fans expect expect a

355
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: lot from you. You know, the expect you to win,

356
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: and when we don't deliver, you know, it hurts us too.

357
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: But winning two World Series and the time that I've

358
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: been there, you know, that's an awesome experience. It's not

359
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: many people get to go to the playoffs, let alone

360
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: play in four World Series. So no it's just been awesome.

361
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: You couldn't ask for a better organization. I remember when

362
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: I got traded over there from the Marlins. I remember

363
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: where I was, and I remember this. It was a

364
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: weird feeling, you know, being traded, especially because it was

365
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues.

366
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, but it could.

367
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: It worked out great, the first big trade of the

368
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: Andrew Friedman era. And uh, it's still paying dividends for

369
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 4: this team. You Keith Aarnandez coming over. Uh, switching gears

370
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: a little bit. We were talking about it. Alan and

371
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 4: I are talking about it before. Welcome you on. And

372
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 4: there you are again.

373
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 5: There's this whole thing.

374
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Someone called me bad.

375
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: That's all good.

376
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: It's all good.

377
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: It's live. We're having fun with it. Uh, listen the

378
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: whole thing. Major League Baseball doing what they do best.

379
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 4: You have a good season. Let's find a way to

380
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 4: shoot ourselves in the foot. Understanding you're employed by it,

381
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: so you don't need to trash them too much. But

382
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: this golden at bat rule?

383
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: Have you seen it?

384
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts about golden at bats in games?

385
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was a joke when I first heard it, Like.

386
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: I couldn't like grasp that Major League Baseball would actually

387
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: make that a rule, but.

388
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: I guess I don't. I don't know.

389
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: I mean it'd be it'd be interesting to you know,

390
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: as a catcher, I I put like my mind went

391
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: straight to like okay, so you'd have to plan for

392
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: different situations and like prepare like oh, if I picture

393
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: on this guy, then there's another guy, like another show

394
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: Hey tany, that'd be coming up. I don't know, it's

395
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: just weird. I think it's uh. I think they're trying

396
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: too hard a little bit.

397
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

398
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 2: I think baseball. I think baseball is great the way

399
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: it is. I've said that from you know, when they

400
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: first started changing everything. I do kind of like the

401
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: pitch clock. But yeah, I love the game. I love

402
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: the game the.

403
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Way it is.

404
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: I know I'm not trying to be a purist or anything,

405
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: but I love the baseball the way it is. If

406
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: they do it, then I guess we'll adapt and go.

407
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: I guess we have show Hey son hit a lot.

408
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: He might be taking he might be SA he might

409
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: be taking some of the bats from me. It's uh for sure.

410
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: So what happens though, Like he hits, like if he's

411
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: if I hit and if I hit in the ninth hole,

412
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: he hits number one, he gets it hit twice, he.

413
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: Hits back to back.

414
00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: Doesn't hetank at home. But at least you do get

415
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: to stay in the game. That's the important thing. You know,

416
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 4: you're you're getting pinched it for, but then you're still

417
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 4: in the game, hopefully catching kershar or whatever the hell

418
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 4: is going on in that game.

419
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: So kind of works out a little bit.

420
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: I like that.

421
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: Usually, you know, I get pinched it and I'm done

422
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 2: so early shower. That's that's a good part of the rule.

423
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: This whole thing is bullshit and if it's not going

424
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: to happen, and I don't like it, and it's dumb.

425
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 3: So Austin, we have a super chat from a Swelling Sausage,

426
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: which I can only imagine how that name came up.

427
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: Tell Alana and Barnes, Hello, Hello. Also, did you try

428
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: the beer bong?

429
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: I did? Yeah, Locker is my guy. He brought it out.

430
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell Walker now. He was vibing.

431
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: You know, he had a great postseason. He did so

432
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: much for us, and he brought the beer bong out.

433
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: I took it once. I'm a cigar guy. I like

434
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: the cigars. We smoked a lot of cigars. We smoked

435
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: a lot of cigars. But yeah, I hit the beer bong.

436
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: I was feeling good, too good.

437
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 4: You deserve it absolutely again, it was fun watching you

438
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 4: guys celebrate that well deserved championship. Let's let's spend a

439
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 4: little sideways on this one because this one's for me

440
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: and also for a lot of fans that have, you know,

441
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 4: stuck with you guys over the years. It's not really

442
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 4: sticking with you guys because the Dodgers are very, very

443
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: good at baseball, but specifically.

444
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 5: You, you are a guy.

445
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: You are the longest tenured position player on the team.

446
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: I think you're the longest tenured player currently on the

447
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 4: roster because Clayton is a free agent. But you know,

448
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: some people see, oh, he's the backup catcher, Like what's

449
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: he doing on the days where he's not starting? Listen,

450
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a big time Barnesy defender. I think you

451
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 4: had a phenomenal year this year, and I understand you

452
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 4: do a lot of work on those game days almost

453
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: the unofficial player coach. Can you explain to people what

454
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: the hell it is that Austin Barnes does to to

455
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: help guys like Will Smith, help guys in the bullpen,

456
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 4: help guys all around. Help did Los Angeles Dodgers be

457
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 4: a better team each and every day?

458
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Spine does what he's doing. Now, he's you know,

459
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: he's been in those situations. He's not he's not young

460
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 2: any more. You know, he's he's played in World Series,

461
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: he's played in the postseason. But it's just getting on

462
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: the same page with the guys, you know, seeing what

463
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: I see, trust him what I feel when I catch

464
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: those guys, you know, and just and having those conversations.

465
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: I think it's you know, with guys who play every day,

466
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: it's hard for them to be able to you know,

467
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: they're in the routines, they're just going out there, they're

468
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: doing they're getting ready to play a baseball game every day.

469
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: The guys who don't play every day, they have the

470
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 2: ability to, you know, just check in and see how

471
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: the pitchers are doing, you know, just seeing what's going on,

472
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: because it's all it's ever changing, the way people will pitch,

473
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: the way they're feeling, the way their pitches are feeling,

474
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 2: you know, and just having some feedback with the pitching coaches,

475
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: the bullpen guys starters, and you know, everybody goes through

476
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: ups and downs during the season, especially pitchers.

477
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: And.

478
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: Just being able to, you know, have a conversation with

479
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 2: them and just get in some clarity and some more conviction, uh,

480
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: on the on the mound. I think it's the most

481
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 2: important thing, you know, when when the when the pitcher

482
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 2: is about to fill the baseball I think the biggest

483
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: thing a catcher can give them is just hopefully they're

484
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: just convicted in their pitch and then that usually when

485
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: you're convicted in your pitch, good things happen.

486
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: I want to ask you a question. We had a

487
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: conversation with Mark Pryor on Dodger's Territory a week and

488
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: change ago Austin, and he was talking about the evolution

489
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: of having to go perhaps with a couple of Japanese

490
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: starting pitchers and who knows, Roki Sasaki maybe in the mix,

491
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 3: I don't know, but having to go to like a

492
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: six man rotation. What are some of the benefits of

493
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 3: that in your opinion as a catcher, and what are

494
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: some of the challenges of keeping guys on a six

495
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: man rotation schedule.

496
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: I guess it's just if they're you know, used to.

497
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: I think in Japan, right, they don't. They only pitch

498
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: once a week. But you know, it's just it's just

499
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: trying to keep everybody healthy.

500
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: You know, a team like us, I think we're you know,

501
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: obviously we have to go out there and perform, but

502
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: our expectations to be in the playoffs every year, and

503
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: it's just trying to keep everybody healthy, and sometimes it's

504
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: hard to do.

505
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: It's either you know, long we try.

506
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: I think people we've tried longer playoffs and and everything,

507
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: but in today's age, it feels like a lot of

508
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: people get hurt.

509
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: But you know, we have a lot of pictures.

510
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: You know, obviously we just signed Blake Snell, Yoshi, and

511
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's more to come. It's just trying to

512
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 2: keep everybody fresh, I think, and whatever it is to

513
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: make every everybody feel like they're healthy and they're ready

514
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: to go, I think that's probably the best route.

515
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously, our front office does a great.

516
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: Job and so does our you know, prior and the

517
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 2: pitching guys to get everybody lined up the way they

518
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: need to get lined up.

519
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned Blake Snell. When he's on a team

520
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 3: that's not yours. He's annoying. He annoyed me. Now I

521
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: can't wait to see him in a Dodger uniform. What

522
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: was your reaction when you found out that you were

523
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: going to be catching him as your teammate.

524
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, just one of the best pictures in baseball.

525
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: You know, you've seen We've seen it enough.

526
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: He just can be so dominant at times, you know,

527
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: just can can take a game over and really just

528
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: shut down an offense. Obviously, you know, as not saying

529
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: that I was surprised or everybody with the Dodgers, everybody

530
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: they always make the big movie feels like, you know,

531
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: and getting in a cy young Award winner like Blake

532
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: Snell to this rotation, I think it's just it's great.

533
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's great.

534
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: People can hate on it and all that, but you know,

535
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: Dodgers are going out there and they're trying to win,

536
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: and I think I'm excited to go see him, excited

537
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: to meet him, and excited to catch him.

538
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 4: And so I know, you guys are on the internet

539
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: enough some fans will call him your son because of reasons.

540
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 4: Glad you're able to welcome Blake Snell to the team.

541
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 4: During his introductory pressor too. He mentioned his excitement of

542
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: joining a very good friend of yours, Clayton Kershaw. Can

543
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 4: you talk to us at all about where Kershaw's at.

544
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 4: I'm assuming you're keeping up with them at least a

545
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: little bit. Obviously had the surgeries, says, you know, with

546
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 4: a couple of drinks and cigars at him and wants

547
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: to be a Dodger for life. Confirms that on the stage.

548
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 4: What can you tell us about Kersh where he's at,

549
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: and just kind of how that relationship has blossomed since

550
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 4: you came here in twenty sixteen fifteen.

551
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously that's my guy. He had that surgery. His

552
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: foot looks dis but yeah, it's a gross foot. But uh,

553
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: you know he obviously he's gonna be a Dodger for life.

554
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 2: He you know, can't imagine. I feel like I've been

555
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: watching Kershaw pitch since I was like eight years old.

556
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: I tell him that all the time. He always tells

557
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: me he's a year older than me.

558
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like I've been watching him since

559
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: I was I was in elementary school. But that's not

560
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: really possible with the with the age.

561
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's a Dodger for life.

562
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: He's gonna you know, he's part of he's when you

563
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: think about the Dodgers, you think about you know him

564
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: and what he's accomplished and everything he's poured into this organization.

565
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 2: So he's you know, he's just a competitor. He goes

566
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: out he's wanting, he wants to go out there and win.

567
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 2: So I'm sure that's what he's, you know, getting lined

568
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 2: up back to do.

569
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 3: All right, Austin, before we let you go, when we

570
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: ask other teammates of yours, who would they like to

571
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: have as their representative in a cage match, or who

572
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: they would like to have them, you know, defend them

573
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: in an alley, a dark alley someplace when you guys

574
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: are walking in San Francisco where somebody they always say Sam,

575
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 3: They always say Austin Barnes. But like in my conversations

576
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 3: with you, you're just a nice guy, calm, cool, collected,

577
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: great husband, great dad. But everybody thinks you can kick

578
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 3: the ever living ship out of anybody that bothers you.

579
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: Why is that?

580
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: I think it's because I'm from Riverside. I don't know

581
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: if people have been there. It's it's not that bad.

582
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: It's not that you know, I think it's a bad rap.

583
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: It's it's a nice place. You go to the right

584
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: areas and uh maybe it's my eyes.

585
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

586
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: I gets, you know, I take some vibeance and you

587
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 2: get a little uh, you know, but it's I don't know.

588
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: I hear that sometimes too. I think it's funny.

589
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't get the nine O nine, I get it.

590
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

591
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Alanas from Denver. She's probably passed through riverside.

592
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 3: Though I've passed through overside. And by the way, now

593
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 3: that's not hey, go snack up in Colorado Spring. I

594
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: didn't grow up in like Cherry Hills or you know,

595
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: Cherry Creek. Don't don't just stop it.

596
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Don't play a long like that.

597
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: That's right. Sorry, Austin knows. Austin picked me to be

598
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: his representative in a cage match, so I don't want

599
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: to hear it. All right, Austin, Merry Christmas, Tell Nicole

00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: All right, see you guys, thanks for having me ons Austin.

604
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: All right, Austin Barnes, two time World Series champion of

605
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: your Los Angeles Dodgers. Let's get to last licks.

606
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

607
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: All right, guys. This story bums me out a little bit.

608
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: This is Lilah, who's absolutely wonderful. She is a Shepherd mix.

609
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: Her dad, Matt, has fallen upon some hard times. I've

610
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: actually been helping her dad Matt since last Christmas. He

611
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: lost his job, was living out of his car. His

612
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 3: friends were watching Lila. Long story short, very long story.

613
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: We got her into a foster home and I don't

614
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: think Matt's going to be able to take her back.

615
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: So the good news is Matt is safe. But you

616
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 3: know they have to be separated a little bit. But

617
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 3: that's okay. Our our goal now is to get Lilah

618
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 3: a great home. She is the sweetest dog. She is

619
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: super calm, she is not high maintenance. She's great, she's healthy,

620
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 3: she's perfect, she's wonderful. She's just great with other dogs.

621
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 3: She's great with everything. So if you're interested in meeting Lilah,

622
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: please reach out to Gidriysguardian dot org or hit me

623
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 3: up on the social channels. Appreciate it very much for

624
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: you guys, letting me talk about Lila and please always

625
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: choose adoption. All right, So Austin's a great guy. He's

626
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 3: a quiet guy, but he's sneaky, funny, and I've covered

627
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: him for a really long time. We appreciate him being on.

628
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: What was the biggest takeaway from your conversation with them, Clint?

629
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 4: Now, Austin and he's one of those guys I've met

630
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: in the clubhouse in passing here and there. Obviously he

631
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: knows his place on that team. He's a veteran. He's

632
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: very important to the clubhouse culture. I'm assuming very important

633
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: to Dave and all of that. We not assuming he

634
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: is very important to Dave, but he's also very important

635
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 4: to everybody that comes into that clubhouse. New team, a

636
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: new players, player, years old, all that kind of stuff.

637
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 4: You got to have those glue guys. And there's a reason,

638
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: there's a reason Andrew Friedman makes sure. And it's not

639
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: just because he's Clayton Kershaw's personal catcher, whatever the hell

640
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: that means.

641
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 5: It's a reason you.

642
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: Make sure you have guys like that, the character guys

643
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: sticking around. There's a reason he brought back Keik A Hernandez.

644
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: Those character guys for a team like the Dodgers that

645
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 4: are as good as they always are, having those guys

646
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 4: in the clubhouse just makes everybody's job that much easier.

647
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: You know, And you said something, and I know you

648
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: did a tongue in cheek. I'm sorry, but Clayton Kershaw

649
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: is the first ballot Hall of Famer. His next stop

650
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: after he chooses to retire is Cooper's town. And if

651
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw wants you to be behind the plate, that

652
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: says a lot to me. And remember, it was Austin

653
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: Barnes who ended up when Yasmani Grandal was behind the

654
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: plate for the Dodgers, it was Austin that was catching

655
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: in the postseason. Austin has been in a lot of

656
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: postseason games, even in a lot of critical situations. And

657
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: you know, I know what. I just ask our friend

658
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: Eric Kratz what it's like to be a backup catcher.

659
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: You know, my husband, for a big part of his

660
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: career was a backup catcher, if you will, And it's

661
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: not an easy role. But I tell you what, he's

662
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: a huge reason they beat Blake Snell in twenty twenty.

663
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: So they don't make it to the World Series. Let

664
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 4: alone win that World Series in twenty twenty without Austin

665
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 4: Barnes coming in there. I mean, I think back to

666
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: that dam Walker. Buehler had the bases loaded against against

667
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: the Braves, and he pointed to Austin being that guy

668
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: that brought down, you know, brought down the heart rate.

669
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Let's get through this and you know, love Austin. Hopefully

670
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 4: he sticks around with the Dodgers after he retires. Hey,

671
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: we don't know how much longer it's gonna be untill

672
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 4: he hangs up in them spikes. He's getting longer in

673
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: the tooth, but he's been a great Dodger and he's

674
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 4: got at least one more season in Dodger Blue.

675
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 5: That's fun. It's gonna be fun to watch.

676
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 4: Hopefully three time World Series champion by this time next year.

677
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. All Right, I've done three shows today,

678
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: so I'm done, But you're not done. What I'm tired.

679
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm ready for a cocktail. What's coming up

680
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: on your show? My friend?

681
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 4: Tonight? We have a well, provided I can get everything

682
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: lined up. I won't be live tonight unless somebody signs,

683
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: but I do have an interview with a friend of

684
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 4: my show, a guy that you know as well, former

685
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: Big League reliever hove Gara, because I've taken it upon,

686
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: taken it upon myself a little mission. I don't think

687
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: the Dodgers end up signing Wan Soto. However, there's this

688
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: perception amongst Dodgers fans that Won Soda must just be

689
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 4: the worst clubhouse.

690
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 5: Guy in the world.

691
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that at all.

692
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 4: That's what you see a lot online, so I'm making

693
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: it a mission. I welcomed our buddy Derek Lewandowski to

694
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: my show last night, somebody who watched Wan Soto, so

695
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: check out that interview as well, because again, I want

696
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 4: to know what is Wan Soto the person like, even

697
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 4: if he's not going to be a Dodger. I want

698
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: to kind of squash this bad teammate or bad clubhouse

699
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: guy narrative because I don't believe that's it. I believe

700
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: he's gonna cost a lot of money and they could

701
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 4: allocate that money elsewhere.

702
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 5: But check that out.

703
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 4: That'll be on tonight and then tomorrow, provided the schedules

704
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: line up right, something special for longtime fans of mine.

705
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: My friend Doug McCain will be joining me on my

706
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 4: show seven pm Pacific time, so Tube in all Dodgers.

707
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: It should be a good time. Unless he flakes and

708
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 5: go be mad at him.

709
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: Everybody, all right, he's not gonna play all right. It's

710
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: always good to be with you. My friend Clint and

711
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,560

Speaker 3: In the meantime, have a great weekend. How about that.

715
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 3: Thanks for being here on Dodgers' territory. Make sure you

716
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: like subscribe all the things we appreciate it for Dodgers.
