1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Thank you Andrew for being here. We're just talking about it. 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: There's so much naturally to be excited about. But there's 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: also a bullseye the size of Texas on this club's back. 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: But you would have it no other way. 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it means we're doing something right, you know. I 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 3: think so much of it comes down to the guys 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 3: that we have. They're unfhazed by that. The way they prepare, 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 3: what they do to get ready for a game, that 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 3: kind of stuff just doesn't really matter to them. And 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 3: it's fun walking around before a game and all twenty 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 3: six guys are doing something to help us win a 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 3: game that night, whether it's watching video, going over scouting reports, 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: or in their cage they're talking about the opposing pitcher, 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 3: you know. And I look out at three o'clock and 15 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: we've got Mookie Freddie all of our guys on their 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 3: knees taking balls, and I look across the field and 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: it's the other team's like twelve thirteenth player out there 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: doing early work. And just the culture those guys have created. 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: Guys are definitely going to bring it when they play, 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: but our guys just aren't phased by it and do 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 3: everything they can to prepare to go win a baseball game, 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 3: and there's no better feeling than that. 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 4: That's great. That's great when your leaders and the guys 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 4: who people look up to are doing the most work. 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 4: That's how you want it to be in most organized 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 4: in every organization and every team. And that's why you 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 4: guys went. I joked with you when I saw you earlier. 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 4: He had a big smile on your faces. And what 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 4: can you not be happy about? You've won back to 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: back World Series. Every great free agent, Todd, guess where 31 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 4: they go. They go to the Dodgers, right, Oh, I'll 32 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 4: go to the Dodgers. You know we were joking with 33 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 4: Oral or you guys break every rule with the deferments 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: and this and that. You know, I know, I know 35 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 4: there's a joke. Oral got mad. It's like you got mad, right, 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 4: A lot of gets mad. He defends the Dodgers to 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 4: her death. But you guys have just figured out ways 38 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 4: from the minor league development, from the draft to the 39 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: way you guys sign guys, to the way you make 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 4: people feel and the way you treat people to go 41 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 4: to be right now the best organization in baseball? How 42 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 4: much pride do you take from. 43 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: That a ton you you know, it's so many talented people, 44 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: the amount of work that goes into it. You know, 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: we talked about this ten eleven years ago of creating 46 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 3: a destination spot because obviously the goal is to win 47 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: a championship, but to create it, create a destination spot 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: are things we can control. You can't control winning a championship, 49 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: but you can. You can control how you communicate with players, 50 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 3: the honest approach, how you treat families, how we develop 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 3: and share information. You can control those things. And so 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: for us, that's been kind of our north star to 53 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: continue to get better and better every year. And the 54 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: way that plays out is our own guys don't want 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: to leave, and ideally guys on other teams are longingly 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: looking like man, I want to be on the Dodgers, 57 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: and so that's our goal. That's what keeps us going. 58 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: And I think it's a ton of really talented people 59 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: and from the different departments being really syncd up. 60 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 5: It doesn't mean we don't disagree. We disagree a lot, 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 5: and I. 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: Think it's about really tons of people coming together and 63 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 3: doing anything and everything we can to win. 64 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 6: I want to ask a question about the new guys 65 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 6: that came in, heard your very approachable guy. Not many 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 6: guys like you out there, you know, and with brass 67 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 6: and baseball. But who out of the new guys that 68 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 6: you brought over the Edwin Diaz, Kyle Tucker to name, 69 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 6: is there one that you talk to you like, man, 70 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 6: this is this is a good pick for us. I 71 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 6: can just I can just tell them by just talking 72 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 6: to them, you know. 73 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 5: Obviously we do a ton of work on these guys. 74 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: We're talking to clubhouse guys, teammates, trainers, broadcasters, anyone and 75 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: everyone we can just to get the. 76 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 5: Best field as we can for a player. 77 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: Obviously, when we have a guy, we have a better field, 78 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: But we're trying to get as good of. 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 5: A field as we can. 80 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: And I'll start with Edwin Diaz just because we signed 81 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: him first. But obviously it just hurt unbelievable things about 82 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: him over the years and got to see it with 83 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: us competing against him and him coming into Game six 84 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: in the fourth inning, all he cares about is way 85 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: and you know, hearing that and then getting a chance 86 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: to talk to him before we signed him and had 87 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: he and his wife on a zoom and just kind 88 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: of getting into the Dodgers and what we do and 89 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: what we're about and what we hear about him, and 90 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 3: just what a perfect match we feel like it would be, 91 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: and really connected with him, you know. I think the 92 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: guys who genuinely care about winning, there is a real 93 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: connection there. And with Tuck, you know, obviously there was 94 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: some stuff that was written in questions about you know, 95 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: how much he likes the game, etc. That as we 96 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: dug into it, we found to be pretty unfair. He's 97 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 3: just a lower murder guy. And as we dug on 98 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: that and got into it. For me, makeup is so 99 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 3: much about what you do to prepare yourself to go 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 3: win a game and how you compete. 101 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 5: And I will bet on talk with what he does. 102 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: People say, oh, he doesn't take enough swings before the game. 103 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: I think most guys take way too many. And if 104 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 3: he's not taking enough, but goes out and does what 105 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: he does, you know. 106 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 5: So I don't think the results speak for itself, right, 107 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 5: I don't. 108 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 4: Every guy's different. Every guy told you know this. Every 109 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 4: guy is different, every player is different. Everyone has a 110 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 4: different way to prepare. Everyone takes different number of swings, 111 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: everyone takes different number of ground balls. As long as 112 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 4: you're ready to play. When that light comes on at 113 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: seven oh five, then it doesn't matter. But those guys 114 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 4: I played with that didn't hit exactly still could go 115 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 4: out and hit hit on the in the game. There's 116 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 4: guys who took a thousand swings to hit. I didn't 117 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 4: take a lot of swings. I took thirty swings a 118 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 4: day before batting. Bregs was okay, I'm good, yep, right. 119 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: It's just different for every guy, and that's what makes 120 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 4: every guy different. 121 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 3: But some guys will talk trash about it if it 122 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 3: doesn't line up with what they do exactly, instead of 123 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: appreciating the individualized aspect to this. And so as we 124 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: dug on it, and so I think through conversations with 125 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 3: with Tuck and his wife Sam and just getting into 126 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: our organization, our family program, you know all of it, 127 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: I think there was a connection that was created. 128 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: Who's responsible for the culture. We hear so much about 129 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: the culture, the chemistry of this team. Guys want to stay, 130 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: guys want to be here. Who's responsible for it? 131 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 5: I think everyone. I think it takes a village. 132 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: I think it's having genuine people who care about it. 133 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: I think, you know, the honest conversation I think is 134 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: incredibly important to that. 135 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 5: The game of assumptions is. 136 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: So dangerous, and we've all been around a lot of 137 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: players who assume this is what the organization thinks, assumes 138 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: this is what instead of having those conversations, and I've 139 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: had plenty with players over the years where it hasn't 140 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: gone well in that moment, but later I've had guys 141 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: come up and say how much they appreciated the honest 142 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: conversation and knowing exactly where they stood, what things the 143 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 3: organization valued, what things they wanted to work with the 144 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: player on to help enhance. And so I think there 145 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 3: are so many fingerprints on that. I think there has 146 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 3: to be, And I think it's about having a group 147 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: of people who believe strongly in collaboration and working together 148 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 3: to get to the best possible outcome. 149 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 5: And so for us, it's about continuing to raise the bar. 150 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: We had a meeting this morning, you know, in an 151 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: area that we don't feel like we're as good as we. 152 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 5: Need to be in. 153 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: I'll hold it back, but in ways that we can 154 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: really enhance it and have a follow up meetings afternoon 155 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: to really get into it. And so I think it's 156 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: just holding ourselves to a really high standard and a 157 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: group of people who all really care about it. 158 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 6: I have a question. I love asking this question. We 159 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 6: kind of understand and know who you know, the one 160 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 6: through nine may be. Is there a guy in spring 161 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 6: training right now, younger guy that might come up during 162 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 6: this year and you know, help this team produce, you know, 163 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 6: take help out of it, dude that you're like, man, 164 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 6: this kid could be a ballplayer. You know, give me 165 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 6: a hitter if you got one. Off the top of 166 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 6: your head. 167 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we've got a lot of really talented 168 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: minor league hitters in camp, a number of whom are 169 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: going to start off the year in Double A and 170 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: then a few who are going to start the year 171 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: in Triple A. And just off the top of my head, 172 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 3: I mean James Tips coming over last July taking a 173 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: little bit, was traded twice in his first professional year. 174 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: You know, a little shell shock from that. 175 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: But I think the way his mind works, how he's 176 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: kind of dug in with our hitting guys and performance guys. 177 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 5: He's looked great. 178 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: Ryan Ward's coming off an unbelievable year last year in 179 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: Triple A, and just the makeup is off the charts. 180 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: You know, those are two guys that feel like could really, 181 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: you know, if the opportunity arises, if and when, could 182 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: really do something. And Freeland Alex Freeland, we got a 183 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: chance to see some last year. His makeup, his on 184 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: field makeup, the way he plays the game, how much 185 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: he cares about defense, base running, and what he does 186 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: in the box align so much with how we see 187 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: the world, and just we see him continuing to get 188 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 3: better and better. 189 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 4: Andrew, you're the Dodgers. You're not supposed to talk about prospects. 190 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: That's when you were the Rays that you talked about prospects. 191 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 4: Now you're talking about free agents. Okay, So what did 192 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: you learn? What did you Maybe the better question is 193 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: you won with Tampa, you've now won with LA. What 194 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: do you wish you knew or what did you learn 195 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 4: once you come to LA that you wish you would 196 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 4: know them back when you were with Tampa before you 197 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 4: got here. And you can't say you can spend the money, Yeah, 198 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 4: oh I wish we had the money. 199 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 5: I mean, I think I'm. 200 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: Way better today than I was five years ago, way 201 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: better than I was ten years ago. And it's so 202 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: many like micro things every day so it's hard to say. 203 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: I think, you know part of you know, when I 204 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: was with the Rays competing against the Red Sox and Yankees, 205 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: we had no business ever beating them, And for me, 206 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: it was forcing us into thinking about how to do 207 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: things differently. If we approach things the exact same way, 208 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: we were going to get beaten over the head. And 209 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: so there were certain disciplines and things of roster building, 210 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 3: of you know, prospects and just things in development and 211 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 3: how to kind of individualize things that I always said 212 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: that it would be so scary if the Red Sox 213 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: and or Yankees at that time were operating more closely 214 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: to how we were operating and having the big stack 215 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: to bully as well. And so you know, coming over 216 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: here it was something that in a lot of ways 217 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: was throwing myself in the deep end. I didn't know 218 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: what the CBT was, I didn't know how it worked. 219 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 5: There was a lot that had to learn and figure 220 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 5: out on the fly. 221 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: But it was if we can take some of those disciplines, 222 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: not all, because there's advantages that come, but each market 223 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 3: has its own unique challenges. People talk about, oh, now 224 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: you have money. There were benefits to being with the 225 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: rays that the Dodgers don't have. You can more proactively 226 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 3: you know you're not if you're not good enough in 227 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: that moment, you can be aggressive to add few future 228 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: value to make your future teams better. And you had 229 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: to do that to be good in that market. And 230 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 3: so we've let a lot of really talented players who 231 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 3: have left. I remember sitting with show Hey when we 232 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: were trying to recruit him to come over here, and 233 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: you know, the line was, Hey, look, however you define 234 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: our success over the last ten years, I feel very 235 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: confident that our next ten will be even better. And 236 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 3: if you come join us, then I feel even more 237 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: strongly about it. The whole system is designed for us 238 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: to have the worst farm system in baseball. We pick 239 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: at the end of the draft, we have less international money. 240 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: We're not trading our expiring contracts for future talent. 241 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 5: And so show Hey just stop mingus. 242 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: How and it gets to our organization and the integration 243 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: and the talent that we have throughout. 244 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: Plus, you also got an insurance policy when you sign 245 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 4: showing this isn't in his contract. If you leave, he 246 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 4: gets to leave too. So you were like, this sounds 247 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 4: good for my future, And. 248 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 5: I told Mark, I said, hey, I did not put 249 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: them up to this. 250 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 4: Sure you did. 251 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 3: Sure I will not ask for more than twenty percent. 252 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: But that says that must have meant a lot to you. 253 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the best player in the game says I go, 254 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: you go, I go. 255 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 256 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it was him buying into what 257 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 3: we were doing, and he didn't get to know me yet. 258 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 5: It's curious I still have that. 259 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: It's like I made a mistake. 260 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Do you get nervous about guys going to the WBC 261 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: just in terms of because the greater picture for you, 262 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: obviously is another World Series championship. It's like you don't 263 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: want to take them away from that moment, but you've 264 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: got a bigger thing in mind. 265 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I think when I have my. 266 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 3: Baseball fan had on, I think it's outstanding. I think 267 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: it is great for the game. Watching it three years ago, 268 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: I loved it. I was hanging on every pitch. I 269 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 3: enjoyed watching it. I thought it was great for the game. 270 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: You know that being said for our pitchers, especially to 271 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 3: throw it. That tensity in March worries me with our 272 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: designs of playing through October. 273 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 5: So it's about preparing these. 274 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 3: Guys as best we can, doing everything we can to 275 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 3: put them in the best position to go out and 276 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: do that and then see where we're at as they 277 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: come back. 278 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 5: But yeah, the pitching makes me a little nervous. 279 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: And position players, it's almost that they don't get enough, 280 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: Like Will Smith and cal Raley are going to alternate. 281 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: Will's gonna have way fewer plate appearances going in than 282 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: he would have had he been here, and so even 283 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 3: just building up the tolerance with his legs to catch 284 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: and with Stan that so each guy's a little bit different. 285 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: I love it in a lot of ways, but in 286 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 3: some ways, just where my Dodgers hat, it makes me 287 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: a little nervous. 288 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yeah, it should. Especially Edwin Diez is the 289 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: perfect you talked about them earlier, perfect example of something 290 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: that can go wrong. We pray that nothing obviously does 291 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 4: go wrong. So are the Dodgers running baseball? Because everyone 292 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 4: you talk to like, don't you get tired of that? 293 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 4: Because I think we do is great. You see a player, 294 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 4: you want a player, you figure out a way to 295 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: go get them, whether it's creatively however you want to 296 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 4: put it. And I think it's awesome for the game, 297 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 4: and I think good teams are make the game better. 298 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 4: And now, whether you love the Dodgers or hate the Dodgers, 299 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 4: people tune in to watch the Dodgers because we want 300 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 4: them to win, and more people tune in because we 301 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 4: hate the Dodgers and we want them blue. So how 302 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: do you react when people say Dodgers are ruining baseball? 303 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean suck. 304 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean said, I am obviously biased. I think 305 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 3: it is an incredibly lazy narrative. And you look back 306 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: thirteen years ago that Dodgers filed bankruptcy. 307 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: And people don't remember that too, they exactly And this is. 308 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: Just a really really strong organization right now where our 309 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: fans support is incredible. And so the feeling that our 310 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: ownership group has is we have to fulfill our side 311 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: of this and we have to reward our credible fans 312 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: who come out fifty thousand every night, who on the 313 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: road feels like almost a home game, the way the 314 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: passion that our fans have for this team. 315 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 5: It is that partnership and that connection that fuels this. 316 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: And we obviously wouldn't do it if we weren't in 317 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: position to do it, and we're in position to do 318 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: it because of a lot of the great things that 319 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: have happened over the last ten to twelve years. And 320 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 3: so the counter of this is the people we are 321 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: saying that is, oh, so you want Mark just to 322 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: pocket more money. Yeah, no, Like fans come out because 323 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: they like watching the best players in the world play 324 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: this game. That is incredibly difficult to do, and for 325 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: us to reward our fans and have the best players 326 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: we can have, we feel like is more common sense 327 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 3: than anything. 328 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: Two part question for you, Max Munsey wanted to be here, said, 329 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: left money on the table. There's no place else he 330 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: wanted to be. Why the timing of the extension? Why 331 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: did it make sense for you guys? And second question, 332 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: how can we get Freddy to finish his career as 333 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: a Dodger after his two years are up? 334 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: He wants to play until he's forty four more years? 335 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 5: Two very different two part question. 336 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: All right, starting with months, you know, we had started 337 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 3: talking about a little bit soon after the parade and 338 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: it was, hey, look, we've got a lot of heavy 339 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 3: lifting to do right now. Let's get through the heavy 340 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: lifting of the winner and we'll get back together at 341 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: some point before spring training. 342 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 5: So we knew he wanted to be here. 343 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: He knew we wanted him here, so we had that 344 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: jumping off point and it was, hey, let's just push 345 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: it until we get through all the craziness. And on Freddy, 346 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 3: I mean, the impact that he has had on the field, 347 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: off the field has been incredible. He has been right 348 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 3: in the thick of so many incredible moments. I didn't 349 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: think going into that off season that he would be 350 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: wearing Dodger blue, and now I don't want to picture 351 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 3: him in a different uniform. And so our hope is 352 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: that he does finish his career here and hopefully has 353 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: some more rings on his fingers. But yeah, the impact 354 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 3: he's had is not lost on us. 355 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 4: Andrew. Everyone always looks at you for so long and 356 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 4: says he's so young, he's so young. Well, I just 357 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: wikipeded you and I actually found out you're older than 358 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 4: I am. So how can I get people to say 359 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 4: that I'm so young? 360 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny, just our vocational choices. 361 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 4: Yes, you can. It wasn't good enough to be used, 362 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 4: but you can do your job for a lot longer. 363 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 3: Definitely better aging aspect to it, for sure, although I 364 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 3: feel like I'm aging in dog years, so maybe not. 365 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: Maybe if you're winning, you get younger, right, maybe the 366 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 4: joke still on me? Well see, okay, that's funny. And 367 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 4: then last one for me, as you mentioned Mark Walter, 368 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: your honor, can you give me on his golf course 369 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 4: and you lead the So there was it called White Oaks. 370 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 5: I think it's can you That's incredible? 371 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: We met, you've been there. 372 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 5: Okay, it's incredible. 373 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 4: You have the hookup for Yeah, there's like rhinoceros and 374 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 4: there's like rhinoceros and draft around the golf videos.

Okay, like 385 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: I can't lose you for this team. I don't care 386 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: about the Lakers like I care about the Dodgers. Okay, 387 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: So lawn's over there now, Yes, we traded Okay, what 388 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: uh what do you anticipate that role being like not 389 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: for long nobody cares, but for. 390 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 5: You, I think it's just much more. 391 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 3: We're all under this Mark Walter TWG umbrella and it's 392 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 3: about you know, information sharing, helping each other and being 393 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: resources for one another. And it's not easy to have, 394 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 3: you know, kind of outside perspective in different people's thoughts 395 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 3: and having that all under this umbrella. When things are 396 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 3: happening and I can help somewhere, someone else can help us. 397 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 3: It's more about just doing everything we can under that 398 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 3: umbrella to help each team be as good as they 399 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 3: can be. 400 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: I guarantee the Lakers just got a lot better with 401 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: Mark Walter and that. 402 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: Wait, you're not going to go call Deep Pedesta and 403 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 4: go the NFL with the Cleveland Browns and then come 404 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 4: back to baseball. 405 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 5: Dodgers are stuck with me. 406 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 4: I think they're okay with that. 407 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: Andrew, Thank you, good luck, thank you. We're having another 408 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: conversation next year about four. 409 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: Pete like that. All right, season, believe you here we go, 410 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 2: all right. 411 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: Key additions to the Los Angeles Dodgers gentlemen, of course, 412 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker Edwin Diaz arguably two of the biggest free 413 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: agents that were available. The Dodgers landed them both Key Key, Hernandez. 414 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: It was a foregone conclusion he was coming back. He'll 415 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: be gone or back in a couple of months. Evan 416 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: Phillips probably mid season. Miguil Rojas, of course, World Series champion. 417 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: Here's some losses though, a lot of bullpen guys, Michael Kopek, 418 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: Kirby Yates, Tony Gonsolin another bullpen guy. Probably the biggest 419 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: loss of in my opinion, of course, is Clayton Kershaw, 420 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 1: who was lost due to retirement. Anthony Bonda is now 421 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: a member of the Minnesota Twins. Todd will start with you, 422 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: why is there a reason other than health? Is there 423 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: a reason that this team won't repeat. 424 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 6: No, there is no reason. That's the only reason that 425 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 6: they won't repeat. At the end of the day. I mean, listen, 426 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 6: we haven't even talked about Edwin Diaz. I mean, he's 427 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 6: the most prolific closer there is. I mean, I put 428 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 6: him next to Roaldis Chapman, those two guys from the 429 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 6: left and right side. This team has every single detail perfected. 430 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 6: They got the guys that they wanted and for them, 431 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 6: God willing for them. If they stay healthy, They're going 432 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 6: to be just fine. They're going to go through lowells 433 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 6: they did last year through the season, but when it's 434 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 6: go time, they find ways to win and they should 435 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 6: cruise through this MLB season. 436 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: Aja, what was the biggest addition in your opinion? 437 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I think Diaz. Remember what they had to 438 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 4: do at the end of last season. I mean, Tanner 439 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: Scott was supposed to be the guy, right he struggled, 440 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 4: had some injury problems, and then at the end they 441 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 4: had Roki as their closer. They use Yamamoto to Now 442 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 4: they have Edwin Diaz. When Sugar's right, he's as good 443 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 4: as he gets. I'm looking at their depth chart, so 444 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 4: their rotation Blake, Snow, Yamamoto, Glass, now show Hey River, Ryan, 445 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 4: Gavin Stone, Roki depending on what they do with him, 446 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: emittt Shean, and Robleski. So that's nine or ten starters deep. 447 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 5: Right. 448 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: Then you go DZ trying Tanner Scott who said he's 449 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 4: made some adjustments, Vessia who was great for him last year. 450 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 4: If you remember Will Klein, Robleski again can be a 451 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 4: starter or a long guy. I mean, the pitching is disgusting. 452 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 4: And then you go Will Smith Dalton Rushing catcher. Dalton 453 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 4: Rushing would be starting on probably twenty other teams. Right, 454 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 4: then you go Freddy Tommy Edmund at second base or 455 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 4: wrote Mickey Roe third base is Maximuncy. Right, we're showing it. 456 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 4: Mookie BET's a shortstop, Ty Oskar, Andy Poe is Kyle Tucker. 457 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 4: We ain't mentioned Alex call Key, Key Hernandez. I mean, 458 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 4: it's just it's a plethora of just riches. 459 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: When you have this much talent, though, then you start 460 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: to nitpick, right, because I do, But I'm let's nitpick 461 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: the lineup. 462 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: Are you okay, Todd, We'll start with you. Are you 463 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: okay with the lineup order? 464 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 5: Okay? 465 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: You figure to have show Hey leading off. 466 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts has already said that Kyle Tucker was probably 467 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: going to hit in the two hole, so that moves 468 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: Mooky to the three hole. And then you have Freddy 469 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: will Max tay Oskar, who looks great by the way, 470 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: he legitimately has lost some weight and looks good muscle, 471 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: all the things Andy pa has, and then Hassan Kim 472 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: because Tommy Edmond, of course is not going to start 473 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: the season healthy. Hassan Kim figures to be probably getting 474 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: the most reps at second base until Edmund comes back. 475 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: So we're splitting hairs here at this point. Do you 476 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: like this lineup construction? 477 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? 478 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 6: Yes and no. I mean I was looking at the 479 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 6: whole thing and I'm trying to go left right, left, right, 480 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 6: But you can't do that with Freddie Freeman and you know, well, actually, yeah, 481 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 6: excuse me, that's how we kind of did it here. 482 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 6: I would have liked to see, I mean, putting Kyle 483 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 6: in the second spot. Maybe if again, if we're splitting 484 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 6: hairs here, maybe have him back forth and move. 485 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 5: Move Mookie up one. 486 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 4: I don't know. 487 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 6: I again, I don't I think you put them in 488 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 6: any spot. They're gonna be fine with will Smith and 489 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 6: Ti Oscar and Munsey behind them. We'll see how the 490 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 6: bottom two. Do you know, Pahes is pretty good. I'm 491 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 6: a little more consistent from him. I think they'll be fine. 492 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 6: And Kim, we don't know, so we'll we'll we'll see 493 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 6: how the season goes on. But again, you can nit pick. 494 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 6: You can start with one and then see how the 495 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 6: season goes out. Maybe we need to move this guy up, 496 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 6: just let him see better pitches. So you're damned if 497 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 6: you do. You damned if you don't. But if you're 498 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 6: the Dodgers, you're not damned at all. 499 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: Great line. Pull that lineup again? Can we can we 500 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 4: pull that lineup up again? I got it. 501 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 6: If you need it, don't you worry? 502 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: No, No, I want because it has the ops pluses 503 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 4: on the side, which is what I was going to 504 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 4: talk about. By the way, remember Taosker down here one 505 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 4: oh three is better than average, Mookie down here one 506 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 4: oh four better than average. Freddy said he had a 507 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 4: crappy year one forty one ops plus. Right Max Muntz 508 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 4: he won thirty six ops plus. Kyle Tucker missed a 509 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 4: bunch of time one forty three. Everyone said he sucked 510 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 4: the second half and has. 511 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: Sung Kim didn't get enough at Bess whatever. 512 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: But they'll set him up for the right against left whatever. Yeah, 513 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 4: so I mean he's there for defensive speed right. So 514 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 4: this lineup is crazy. It's crazy. I don't know. As 515 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 4: a catcher, this was like to me, this would have 516 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 4: been like facing the Yankees of the early two thousands 517 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 4: when they had those teams with Jeter, Bernie Sheffield, Pasada. 518 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 4: And then you got into the mid two thousands, and 519 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 4: they had again Jeter Damon text a Rod. They were like, 520 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 4: how do I get. 521 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 2: Through too many power hitters, not enough ball to. 522 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 4: Back guys for who these guys are. Mookie puts the 523 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 4: ball in play, Freddie puts the ball in play. Kyle 524 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 4: Tucker puts the ball in play. Okay, show Hey strikes out, fine, 525 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 4: Will Smith puts the ball in play once he strikes out, fine, 526 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 4: Tai Oscar strikes out fine. I mean, listen, they put 527 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 4: the ball in play enough and they do enough damage 528 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: that are they going to have little? Sure? But they 529 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: do enough damage and it's so deep. I think what 530 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 4: they're counting on is eventually the pitcher's gonna make a mistake. 531 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: Will it come with somebody on base? And not every 532 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 4: pitcher can go through twenty seven outs and be perfect, 533 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 4: So they're just count they're waiting on their mistakes and boom. 534 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: Todd, How does Andy Pott has take his game to 535 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: the next level? Because you figure now the outfield is different, 536 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: Tay Oscar's going back to left, You're going to have 537 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: Kyle Tsu in right field and Paw Hiss in center. 538 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: So how does he take his game to the next level? 539 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 6: He can just relax and no, we'll look at what 540 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 6: he has in front of him. Like listen, I gotta 541 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 6: be if I'm speaking as Andy, I gotta be myself. 542 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 6: I can't worry about doing too much. I just got 543 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 6: to go out there, produce, have a routine every day. 544 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 6: Don't try and be Freddie Freeman. Don't try and be 545 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 6: show Hey, O, tany or anybody else. Be myself. Take 546 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 6: the base, hit the right field. When you get that 547 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 6: picture that you can drive, yeah, make sure you drive 548 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 6: it in the gap. Get the rally going so you 549 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 6: can get back to the top of the lineup. And 550 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 6: I think that's why he's down there or eventually will 551 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 6: be seven, eight or nine, whatever it is, to get kickstarted, 552 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 6: to get show Hey back up there. So that's what 553 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 6: they're looking for from him. If you're Andy, find a 554 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 6: way to get on base. So show Hey, So, Mookie, so, Kyle, Freddy. 555 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 6: Can they can all drive you in. He should have 556 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 6: over one hundred runs next year, no doubt about it. 557 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 6: If he's getting on base. And this is a guy 558 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 6: right now. You know we talked about batting average, forget 559 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 6: about batting average. Kind the way they can get that 560 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 6: on base percentage up you'll have over one hundred run score. 561 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, get on base score some runs. 562 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: If you take a look at the projections in terms 563 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: of standings in the National League West for wins brought 564 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: to you by fan Grafts, they of course have the 565 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: Dodgers at the top of the division. I don't think 566 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: that's a stretch by any stretch of the imagination. Ninety 567 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: nine and a half wins is the projection by Fangrafts, 568 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: followed by the Giants actually at eighty two point three wins, 569 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: the d Backs eighty one point four. I think the 570 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: Diamondbacks are going to be better than some people think 571 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: Padres at seventy nine and a half and the Rockies. 572 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: They actually have the Rockies winning sixty five games, which 573 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: I'll take, I'll believe it. 574 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: I'll take the under on that. 575 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: I mean fair assessment here in terms is that where 576 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: you'd pick the team teams in terms of rankings, not necessarily, No. 577 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 4: I think the Padres are going to be better than that, 578 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 4: especially with Bueller and in Uh. 579 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: You think Bueler makes the big league club, Yeah, I 580 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 2: think he does. 581 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 4: Because they have a lot of injuries already in their 582 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: starting rotation. I think he's a great depthy, so a 583 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: great bullpen. Their lineup is better I think than what 584 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: people give them credit. Or I think the Potters are 585 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 4: gonna be better, and I think the Potters are in 586 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 4: the eighties wins. I think the Diamonbacks in the eighties. 587 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 4: I think the Giants are too high and the Rockies 588 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 4: are definitely too I tell me, explain to me, Todd, 589 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 4: how on earth the Rockies are not gonna lose a 590 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 4: hundred games this year? Right now? Then if you look 591 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 4: at this, they're winning, They're losing ninety seven games. How 592 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 4: on earth are the Rockies in this division, with the 593 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 4: team they have as symbol, not gonna lose a hundred games? Figure, 594 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 4: I can't figure this out. I mean, if I'm if 595 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 4: I'm betting on this, if I'm going to bet MGM, 596 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 4: my first bet is under on the Rockies every day 597 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 4: and all day, because if it's sixty five point two 598 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 4: on bet MGM, it's who under under under under under. 599 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 6: Well, this is why baseball is the hardest sport probably 600 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 6: to bet on. It's frustrating. You can got, you can 601 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 6: have Sho Hao Tani on the mount and you can 602 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 6: lose to the Rockies two to one, So that that's 603 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 6: why it's hard. I agree with you on all accounts, 604 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 6: but again, they got to understand the numbers is gonna 605 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 6: be number. You can have a guy get hot and 606 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 6: hit couple home runs and a pitcher all of a 607 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 6: sudden looked like Cy Young out there. But again, yeah, 608 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 6: I see them losing over one hundred games too as well, 609 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 6: So this is going to be a tough one for 610 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 6: them to don't get Dodgers. 611 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 4: But I don't know if the Dodgers get to one 612 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 4: hundred wins either. 613 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: I don't think they do, but I don't think they 614 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: need to. 615 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 4: They don't need to. They just need to get into postseason. 616 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: That was a big thing. Oh the Dodgers didn't have 617 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 4: the most wins in baseball last year, and yeah, they 618 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 4: just went out won the World Series. So I don't 619 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 4: I just think it's it's really hard to win one 620 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: hundred games, especially for a team like the Dodgers. That 621 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: all they're about is getting to the postseason. They don't 622 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 4: care how many games, and when there's like we're going 623 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: to be in October, however, we have to get theirst order. 624 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: Of business, win the division, second order of business, get 625 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: home field, advantage. 626 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, but they didn't have any of that last year. 627 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 4: They had none of that last year where they win 628 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 4: the World Series in Toronto, Okay, they weren't. Didn't have 629 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 4: home field against the Brewers. How'd that work out? 630 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: They won? 631 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 4: They didn't have home field against the Phillies. How that 632 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 4: work out? 633 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: I get it. 634 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: The point is that the first order of business is 635 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: getting Really the first order of business is get out 636 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: of camp healthy. 637 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 4: Yes, but then get to the win the division. Yes. 638 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 6: Then I think I think the only order of business 639 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 6: is to be healthy before, right before the playoffs start. 640 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 6: I think that's the only thing they got to worry about. 641 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 6: They're gonna it's gonna have every team. It's it's happening already. 642 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 6: Somebody's gonna get injured, you know. Hopefully it's nothing serious 643 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 6: and you'll see him in two or three months, maybe 644 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 6: four or five months from now. So just gotta gotta 645 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 6: be ready for Game one of the playoffs. 646 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: If there is a need at the deadline, if we're 647 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna look at a crystal ball or pontificate here, if 648 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: there is a need at the deadline, Todd, what is 649 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: it for the Dodgers? 650 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 6: Hmmm, Man, I don't have. I don't have it right now. 651 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 6: I mean again, we're pulling hairs here. I'm looking at 652 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 6: the bottom of the lineup. But I I really like 653 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 6: I like Pahes. I think he plays great. I think 654 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 6: he's a good defender out there. You know, they're not 655 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 6: gonna have might not have the power down there. I 656 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 6: don't know, man, it's just so hard, you know. Listen, 657 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 6: Max Montsey's a beast. He's a staple there. Like what 658 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 6: kind of year is he gonna have? I think he's 659 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 6: gonna be productive. So I'm just trying to nitpick every 660 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 6: little thing I can do here besides the top guys. 661 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 6: But there's I don't think they they're gonna need anything. 662 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 6: Maybe bullpen, I don't know. I don't see it. 663 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, aj, how long as Pot has his leash long long. 664 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: Here's my thing. What are they gonna need. They're gonna 665 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 4: need a bullpen arm because they're just it's just it 666 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 4: just it helps if you can go out and get 667 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 4: a bullpen arm that can help you, whether it's a 668 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 4: lefty or righty, they'll take it because every team can 669 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 4: always needs enough bullpen and at some point they're probably 670 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 4: gonna need a starter because someone's gonna go down there 671 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 4: they're not expecting, and it's just the nature of the 672 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 4: game today. So I think those are the things if 673 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 4: we're nitpicking in July because we don't have crystal balls 674 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 4: and we can't see farther ahead. But I think they're 675 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 4: gonna need a reliever like every other team in contention, 676 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 4: and then like you're gonna ask starter like every other 677 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 4: team in contention a lot. 678 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to be right back. 679 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal's joining us momentarily after a quick word from 680 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: our spring to Spraining tour sponsor. 681 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 7: Hey, when you're keeping the lights on for thousands or 682 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 7: even millions, reliability isn't optional.

If 693 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: you take a look at it, guys, that was back 694 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: on October thirty first, the last day of the month, 695 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: and here it is right now. So the Dodgers went 696 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: from plus three fifty to plus two twenty five, the 697 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: Blue Jays plus eighteen hundred to plus thirteen hundred, the 698 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: O's from plus thirty five hundred to plus twenty two hundred. Todd, 699 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: I know you love this stuff. What do you make 700 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: of the line movement and which one of the three 701 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: do you buy into the most? 702 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 4: Yeah? 703 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 6: I think they're so very hard to understand. 704 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 4: Why these. 705 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 6: Bet MGM people I don't know their name, but Vegas, 706 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 6: why they decide to move lines left and right. There's 707 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 6: a whole big algorithm AI whatever it is. But I 708 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 6: don't know how you can go wrong with not picking 709 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 6: the Dodgers. I picked the World Series one of the 710 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 6: last two years on this show, and I'm more leaning 711 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 6: towards the same team I picked last year. I don't 712 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 6: want to give it away. It's pretty simple. It's pretty 713 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,719 Speaker 6: much on the board. But yeah, their team is stacked, 714 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 6: man from top to bottom. Even if a guy goes down, 715 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 6: there's still somebody there. The Blue Jays love everything that 716 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 6: they did, great pickups this offseason, Dylan Cease, I love 717 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 6: everything that they're doing. And the Oriols. You know, you 718 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 6: think about the one big guy that they got, Pete Alonzo. 719 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 6: That guy could spark plug a team. He's a happy, 720 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 6: go lucky dude. They're missing a couple teams in there. 721 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 6: But again, for me, I think the Dodgers are the 722 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 6: easiest pick if if you're looking for another World Series winner, 723 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 6: I don't think I don't see how you can go 724 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 6: wrong with picking the Dodgers. 725 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: All right, t YF So who are they missing? You 726 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: said there's a couple of teams that they're missing. Who 727 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: would you put on this board as far as some 728 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: decent odds to win that World Series? 729 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 6: Well, I would Well, for one, I'm pretty biased, but 730 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 6: I would say the Yankees have an outside chance of 731 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 6: winning the World Series two as well once they get healthy. 732 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 6: And the Brewers we just talked about them. I mean 733 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 6: there's a team right there with Pat Murphy who's on 734 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 6: the right path, who has an opportunity to you know, 735 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 6: not only get to the National League NLCS, but you know, 736 00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 6: maybe make some noise. 737 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 5: So We'll see what happens there. 738 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 2: What do you think about this? These lines? 739 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're about ready. I think the 740 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 4: Dodgers are far and away the favorite again to win 741 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 4: this World Series. But Todd mentioned teams are missing. We're 742 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 4: the Mets. We're the White Sox. By the way, bet MGM. 743 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 4: They I heard the other day they said there's no 744 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 4: limit to what they could do. We're here in camel 745 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 4: Back Ranch where the whites. This is the white home 746 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 4: of the White Sox. And they're not on the board. 747 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 4: I don't understand why they're not on the board right now. Seriously, 748 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 4: on a serious now, we're where are the Mets? Phillies 749 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 4: aren't Phillies aren't up there? Right? Those are a couple 750 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 4: of teams that have been pretty good, done some stuff 751 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 4: this offseason. Uh, Cubs, Cubs, you can put on there. 752 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: I never feel like you can count the Phillies out. 753 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 4: The Philly Yeah, the Phillies met, I mean Phillies. I 754 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 4: agree because they still have when Wheeler comes back, they 755 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 4: have Nola, they still have Sanchez, right, they have Lozardo. 756 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 4: Their lineup is still intact pretty much. Yeah, I think 757 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 4: the Phillies should be in there. The funny part is 758 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 4: it's all it's cational league. 759 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 2: National leg has been the toughest league, right, I. 760 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 4: Mean, there's no Tigers who we expect to run away 761 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 4: with the AL Central on on the board. The Orioles. 762 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: You can make a case that last year too, and 763 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: you see what the Guardians did after the Guardians. 764 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 4: Right, the Reds. Todd's Reds aren't on there, and they 765 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 4: made the playoffs last year, and they went out and 766 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 4: did some stuff this offseason. Right, But I mean we 767 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 4: put the Orioles up there, they're probably fourth place team. 768 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 4: You can make a case they could be the fourth 769 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 4: place team in the AL East. 770 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: You still don't think the Orioles have enough pitching. Westburg 771 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: is hurt now again. 772 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 4: But that's what I'm saying. If you go Yankees, Red Sox, 773 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 4: Blue Jays, I'm saying, just Al East Red Sox, Yankees, 774 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 4: a Blue Jays, and then you can make a case 775 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 4: with Ools could finish fourth in that division. And then 776 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 4: I mean then you go and if you go round 777 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 4: the American League, Astros, Mariners, Rangers, I mean, it's but yeah, 778 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 4: I mean, the Dodgers are the clear favorite and even 779 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 4: have plus two was it plus two? Twenty five. That's 780 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 4: not a terrible bet, Todd. That's really not Give me 781 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 4: the Dodgers of the field. Give me that number and 782 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 4: I'll take the field. 783 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 6: See I was still I would still take the Dodgers. 784 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 4: But the number is going to be a lot bigger 785 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 4: and you get twenty nine chances. 786 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 6: That's true, that's that more bang for your buck. 787 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 4: That's why I would take them a lot. Is so 788 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 4: mad at me right now. She's just so mad because 789 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 4: I brought up the white so she for see. The 790 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 4: problem with the line is she's never gone past. There's 791 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 4: a pond here on the Dodgers side. It has never 792 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 4: been over there. There's a lake right there that divides them. Well, 793 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 4: it doesn't really divide them. 794 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 5: I remember, I remember I was with the Socks. 795 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 4: I remember, yeah, right, so you know on the on 796 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 4: the Dodger side, there's palm trees and there's a big 797 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 4: lake right and then as soon as you cross that 798 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 4: lake and that shows the White Sox sign, it's just yeah, 799 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 4: there's no trees, there's no shades, it's just desert trees.
