1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Ta Oscar said, I love the pressure. I love the moment. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: So that's stuff you love to see and you love 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: to hear, especially from a guy in a one year contract. 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, what is going on after an unbelievable weekend? 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: It is Monday.

All right. It's 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 2: a big weekend. We got into the weekend Clinton. I 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: said they needed to show me something, and they did. 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: Let's get into the big ticket. What do you take 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: away from it? My friend? What did you sit on 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 2: your couch? I know you and I were texting each 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: other back and forth. What's your biggest takeaway? 20 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: You know that series was a lot more fun than 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 3: I was anticipating. Game one got me into it. Well, 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: you know, I got a little bit of crap about 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 3: my feelings entering that series. I didn't look at it 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 3: very you know, I didn't. I didn't care about the 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: series very much. I wasn't gonna look at this and 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: be like, it wasn't a measuring six series to me. 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: But then the Dodgers decided to go out and put 28 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 3: that Pirates series behind them, put the lack of momentum 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: they had entering that series into this Yankee series, and 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: they made it fun. They got me invested. It was 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: good for baseball. The Dodgers go in there, they take 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: two of three, They do what they're supposed to do. 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: You had that opportunity to sweep. You could not ask 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 3: for much more than that. Taking two of three in 35 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: New York itinsay his powerhouse Yankees. And yeah, Yankees didn't 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 3: have Sodo. You didn't face a Garrett Cole, you didn't 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: face Marcus Stroman. But it doesn't matter. Dodgers took two 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: of three and that's what you want to see. 39 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: I love your tweet. Taomg. He was unbelievable. I don't 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: know who was more impressive. Ta Oskar Hernandez with the 41 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: nine RBI, the three home er, obviously including a Grand 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: Slam or Yoshinobu Yamamoto stepping up on the biggest stage. 43 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: He could have easily been a Yankee. He wanted to 44 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: be a Dodger. He pitched so well in the Bronx 45 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: and Clint for those that were thinking, hey, you know, 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: can he pitch in a big game? Question? 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: Answered question? Answered well, said right there. That was one 48 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: of thinking back. You know, if I had went into 49 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 3: that series with a different mindset, I definitely would have 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: looked at that Yoshinobu Yamamoto start with a different lens. 51 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: Of course, I still watch it, still look at the 52 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: lens of this is a guy that can step up 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: on these big stages, and it's something this Dodgers team 54 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: has missed over the last few years in a postseason series. 55 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: So if this had all the pomp and circumstance and 56 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: all the excitement of a postseason series and Yoshinoba Yamamoto 57 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 3: is able to go out there and drop seven dominant innings. 58 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: Did not look stressed at any point. He looked like 59 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: he was on cruise control. That is fun to see, 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: That is exciting to think about for the future. In 61 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: a couple of months for the Dodgers team win we 62 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: hit in October and the next real meaningful baseball, Yeah, 63 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: no question about it. 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: I mean, they need to do this in October. And 65 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: it's very, very probable that if the Dodgers make it 66 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: to the World Series, they will face the Yankees. But 67 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: I'm glad that they had such a successful weekend. They 68 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: won a very close game in extra innings on Friday, 69 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: then they had a bit of a blowout on Saturday. 70 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 2: I understand they didn't win Game three. I didn't expect 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: them to go into the Bronx and sweep. I do 72 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: think they If we could give Tyler Glasnow a bit 73 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: of freaking run support, that would be helpful. He's six 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: and five on the year, but he hasn't gotten a 75 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: ton of run support. But I'm very pleased. I give 76 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: this team an as as far as the way that 77 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: they handle things in the Bronx, and an a plus 78 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: to pantone two ninety four for showing up huge taking 79 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: over the Bronx Dodger fans representing it was awesome. Let 80 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: us welcome in Scott Gearman, one of our friends of 81 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: the program. We always appreciate what he does for us 82 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: here as we continue on Dodgers' territory in Scott Clint 83 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: said he wasn't really paying attention. I was very much 84 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: paying attention in terms of like a measure stick. Where 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: was your level of interest and did you get out 86 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: of this series what you needed to see? 87 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: Oh, I was, I'm one hundred percent with you. I'm 88 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: I was fully invested. I was interested. I was measuring 89 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: the team to look ahead because Clinton and I have 90 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: spoke about it, and I think it makes a lot 91 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: of sense with how much parity there is in terms 92 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: of non division leaders around the National League, the American League. 93 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,119 Speaker 1: I think all I can do for myself is measure 94 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: these teams against other division winners or leaders and then 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: teams that are you know, big games, big moments, And 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: this series was exactly that. You got to see managing, 97 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: you got to see pitching. It confirmed a lot of 98 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: the things about the Dodgers. It confirmed a lot of 99 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: the things about Aaron Judge and what he can do 100 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: with the Yankees lineup. So I was, I was all in. 101 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: It was just incredible stuff. Here I yet pull the 102 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: tweet up on there. It was for me. It was 103 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: the second series of the year where I was saying, Okay, 104 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: this is something we can look ahead now and we 105 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: can say this is going to be playoff type environments, 106 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: high quality offenses. You can see how going to manage. 107 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: And it lived up to every little bit. 108 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 3: Of hype, you know, just before you came on here 109 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 3: we're talking about Yamamoto stepping up on the big stage, 110 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: really seeing Dodgers fan see what he can do in 111 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 3: this sort of series, in this sort of environment. Another 112 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: thing we saw another maybe more less heralded, less exciting 113 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: off season signing, but somebody you and I both love 114 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: Tascar Hernandez stepped up big time, a big time on 115 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: the big stage. Would you like about Tao and his 116 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: massive weekend? There? 117 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: Just the the ability for the moment, the feel for 118 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: you know. I spoke with another friend that he said, 119 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: it's it's the type that you are afraid of, like 120 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: a Dola Scarcio or his Hilaire. They're free swingers, and 121 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: those are the type of guys that pitchers do not 122 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: like to face. Because you know, we spoke, I keep 123 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: thinking about really a fun moment right before the season, 124 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: right before of the regular season start domestic, I was like, 125 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: ta Oscar is my X factor for the year because 126 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: he's not afraid to go up and just swing. He's 127 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: going to hit a pitch when it's hangar, he will 128 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: not miss it. And all the clips you're showing, he 129 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: did exactly that. You know, he goes out there, can 130 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: find a barrel and just do damage on his own. 131 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: And he said, I generally hate in game interviews with 132 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: players because we've seen the ball find them and it 133 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: goes wrong. But you left. Yeah, yeah, exactly that, and 134 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: he said he's hilarious out there. But Taoskar said, I 135 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: love the pressure, I love the moment. So that's stuff 136 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: you love to see and you love to hear, especially 137 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: from a guy in a one year contract. But Ti 138 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Oscar goes five hundred for a series. He's a difference 139 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: maker every single time he's up there. And I don't 140 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: know about you, Alana Clint, but when Taioskar is up 141 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: there and he's down in account even oh two, if 142 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: a pitcher doesn't make an exact pitcher's pitch, I'm ready 143 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: for Tioskar to do damage. And he showed that it 144 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter he's up there. There's some guys just have 145 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: a knack for finding ways to drive runners in and 146 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: Tioskar is exactly who they need in the offense the Dodgers. 147 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's think about the off season signings as 148 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: far as outfielders are concerned. Guys, you take a look 149 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: at it, the fact that he was a free agent. 150 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: I believe it is twenty three point five million dollars. 151 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: He deferred about eight and a half million of it. 152 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: So whatever, he's making thirteen million a year just for 153 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: the one year deal. But you think about, you know, 154 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: the Jock Petersons of the world. Obviously, Cody Bellinger in 155 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: the middle of a three year, eighty million dollar deal, 156 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: Guriel Junior, A lot of guys in the NL West 157 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: outfielders were concerned. Tay Oscar Hernandez. He leads the team 158 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: in RBI, he leads the team in home runs. By 159 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: the way, his teammate is sho Heeyo Tani and he 160 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: still leads the team in home runs. I mean, this 161 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: is a guy that has given this team, I think 162 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: more than they even could bargain for. I'd locked this 163 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: I'd locked this kid up for another you know, like 164 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: another couple two three year deal. 165 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: That's that's what I'm saying right now, by the way, 166 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: we got yeah player, we got Diane Schroeder saying, extend 167 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: ta Oskar. This is one of those guys. You know, 168 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: this is something we also talked about Scott. The outlook 169 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: in the outfield is not very good even I mean 170 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: right now and beyond this season. This is somebody that 171 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 3: needs to be a Dodger for the next three to 172 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: five years. He think this is something they do. They 173 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: try to figure something out now or you wait to 174 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: the season and you talk about it after celebrating a championship, 175 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: that extension. 176 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: And honestly, like if he's open for it, absolutely, Like 177 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, he's the type of bat. He's been hyper 178 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: consistent throughout you know, for several years, and a guy 179 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: like this hitting the free agent market doesn't happen very often, 180 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: especially someone you know who can project like he he does. 181 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't have big time splits. He's going to be 182 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: out there every single day. You know what you're getting 183 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: on defense, and that's fine, but he's making up for 184 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: it in his bat. You can play the plus minus 185 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: game with him. How many runs is he allow in defense? 186 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: That's whatever. He'll have his moments and that's just how 187 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: it goes. But he's going to go up there. He's 188 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: going to slug, he's going to find barrels. He's not 189 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: going to do much in terms of walking. He's going 190 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: to strike out a lot because he is a three 191 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: true outcome guy. But he's just some players. It just 192 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: keeps drawing me back to some guys just have a 193 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: knack for extra bases, and he's exactly one of them. 194 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: And just like you said, Clint Dodger, fans can look 195 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: at the prospects. We all can. There's not much in 196 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: terms of the outfield. Andy Pajes, James Altman, we don't 197 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: know what he's going to be. Andy Payees, we have 198 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: to kind of look and project. I like what I'm seeing, 199 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: by the way from Andy Paie as he showed me 200 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: a ton. We can chat about that too. He's had 201 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: a ton of upside, but there's not much there. It's 202 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: the cupboard is pretty bare, and it's an uncomfortable feeling 203 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: with the farm system that there's nobody completely ready to 204 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: go where you're like, yep, set him and forget him 205 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: and go from there. And that's why on the trade 206 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: market there's a lot of stuff we have to talk 207 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: about but ta Oscar if he's open to extension talks, 208 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: if that's something the Dodgers want to do, they can 209 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: dip back into their resources after the year and go again. 210 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: But it's somebody I would for sure be trying to 211 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: get for another couple of years. 212 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: We're talking to Scott Gearman of Dodger Blue does a 213 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: great job covering this team. And Scott, let me ask 214 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: you this. You were talking about trade deadline. We're about 215 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: a month and a half away from that intrepid deadline. 216 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: We've talked at length about lack of production from the outfield, 217 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: and that of course stems a little bit from Mookie 218 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: being moved from right to the shortstop position. We see 219 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: what ta Oscar has done. Do you see Luis Robert 220 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: Junior in the Dodgers' outfield come the deadline? That makes 221 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: sense for you. 222 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: It makes all the sense in the world. It makes 223 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: a sense for a lot of teams. I think it's 224 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: something that the Dodgers have a fair amount of competition 225 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: in terms of the Philadelphia affiliates with trade packages. But yeah, 226 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: he's my new number one. He will stay there. It's 227 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: a cost controlled center fielder, someone who can perform at 228 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: a high level injury concerns absolutely, and that was the 229 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: same thing with Tyler Glass now and the Dodgers invested 230 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: in him. It remains to be seen how much Andrew 231 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: Friedman wants to dip into the prospect capital. But the 232 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: rumor came out from Bob Nightingale about the White Sox 233 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: asking for a package near Juan Soto reach for the 234 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: Stars White Sox. I respect it, I appreciate it. You 235 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: have to. He's going to be a big ticket. They 236 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,359 Speaker 1: got him on a pennies type of contract. It's unbelievable 237 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: what they were able to sign. You know, Luis Robert too. 238 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: But it's something that with how how bare it is 239 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: and the options projecting forward for the Dodgers in center field, 240 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: left field, wherever, there's not much there, and if an 241 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: opportunity to get a controllable out in this current championship 242 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: window and everybody green lights it, it's something you have 243 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: to do. You have to explore it to its fullest 244 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: and you can't low ball it. If it's there, you 245 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: got to go for it. 246 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 3: You know, we're talking about Lou Bob coming to the Dodgers. 247 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: We already have a natural trade partner there. With those 248 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: white socks. They came together in the trade last year. 249 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 3: I think they all know each other's prospects and whatnot. 250 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: And you know Andy Pajes, Taskar Hernandez Luis Robert. That 251 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 3: is a fun outfield. A lot of strikeouts, but that 252 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: is a fun outfield. One of the things I think 253 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: we both probably close to a line on is the 254 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: outfield does need a lot of help, and one area 255 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: where the Dodgers are extremely I guess we can be 256 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: grateful they don't need a lot of bullpen help. They 257 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: don't need a lot of pitching help. This is this 258 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: has been a very, very well put together pitching staff, 259 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: even through all the injuries. I guess this is a 260 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: long way around giving some flowers. Because we talked about 261 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 3: it on my channel a couple of weeks ago, I 262 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: gave my love to Alex Vessia. You did a little 263 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: bit too, But Vessie is one guy stepping up big 264 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: time all the bullpen is But I guess this is 265 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: an opportunity give some love to Alex Vessi because I 266 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: know you had some thoughts over the weekend about the 267 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: real av As Jay Haare would call. 268 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: Him real Jay Hair shout out to both of them. 269 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: So I can give flowers to the entire bullpen and 270 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, s we can flash back to what we 271 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: spoke about. I said the most questions would come whether 272 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: the if the starting rotation faltered and go from there, 273 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: because I was like, every single year the Dodgers just 274 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: somehow figure it out, you know, Alta, we talked about 275 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: how they can just you know, they'll dumpster die for somebody. 276 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: They'll find some DFA cast off and trade for him 277 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: and bring him in. And that's exactly who we're seeing 278 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: at the back end, Anthony Banda. He's coming in been 279 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: fine for whatever anyone thinks about Jolan Ramirez. Since his 280 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: rough outing on May twenty fourth against Cincinnati, he's had 281 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: an ERA of one and he's allowing a one to 282 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: sixty seven batting average. So whatever they're doing, and he's 283 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: got electric stuff, let's not act like it. He doesn't 284 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: because you know the game last night, he shouldn't have 285 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: been out there. That's another thing we can talk about. 286 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: The bullpen management at the back end. I don't know 287 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: why you keep him in for a second inning. You 288 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: have arrested pen, you have a day off today. Whatever 289 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: they took two of three, we'll skip it. But since 290 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: May first, the Dodgers' bullpen is, you know, number one 291 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: and strike out to walk percentage at eighteen point two, 292 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: number one in Sierra, number four and combined era. So 293 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: the bullpen's been terrific. But in that same span you 294 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: could argue that Alex Vessi has been the third best 295 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: reliever in baseball. So it's been He's doing exactly what 296 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: he did when he got called back up last year. 297 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: He's going on a ridiculous run. He's living and dying 298 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: in the strike zone. He's not walking hitters, and he 299 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: is now that number one option. And Anthony Banda has 300 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: a probably like the arguably the hardest thrower in that bullpen, 301 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: and he might be their nice, solid number two left 302 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: handed option. 303 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: You mentioned Johann Ramirez, and it's funny that you say 304 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 2: that because since the moment, call it the moment when 305 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: Dave Roberts went and gave him that hug and talked 306 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: to him for what I feel like was twenty seven minutes, 307 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: and Gavin Lex was just do He's six and a 308 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 2: third innings, pitch, three hits, zero earned runs, Scott one walk, 309 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: five k's and he has a zero era. This was 310 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, This was on June seventh. 311 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 2: But the point is, do you credit Dave Roberts and 312 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: the moment for the Ramirez turnaround? 313 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: I think so, I think and for in terms of 314 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: mental for sure, because we saw how tough that was 315 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: on Ramirez, but we also saw about how much he 316 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: We heard how much he said that meant to him, 317 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: and I think that matters. This is another credit to 318 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: Dave about why players love him, and another thing that 319 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: fans often don't appreciate about Dave Roberts that he manages 320 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: a high priced roster every single year and he allows 321 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: them to be themselves. But he's very hands off in 322 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: terms of he doesn't get too high, doesn't get too low, 323 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: he argues when he needs to, doesn't get tossed ever. 324 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: But in a moment like that on a player who 325 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: just got brought over to the team has an incredibly 326 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: tough start, tensions are high, high scoring, game hits, two batters. 327 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: He went out and did exactly what you need to do, 328 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: and I don't think it was too much. And we've 329 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: seen in conjunction with the pitching staff, you know, analytics staff, 330 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: they've gone out and they've turned him into a quality 331 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: reliever that they've kind of leaned on in spots. He's 332 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: gone some innings and he's provided plus innings. He was 333 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: a factor in the extra innings game, like it's been. 334 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: I love it. I didn't mock that moment and say 335 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: like chuckle at it, saying like this is too much. 336 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: It really made me think, like this is why players 337 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: appreciate Dave, and it really did. 338 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: You know, I get I don't understand why people are 339 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: so upset about that. Just general Dave roberts haters on 340 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 3: the internet, and we know there are plenty of them, 341 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: we see the comments in the live stream. I think 342 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 3: you could take a shot every time somebody says fire 343 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: Dave robertson. You would need to go to the hospital 344 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: if you're doing a show a day or something like that. 345 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 3: But one guy I also wanted to talk about. Listen, 346 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: Dodgers come out of New York, they take two or three. 347 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: We're feeling pretty good, but there are some issues. We 348 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: know there are some issues. We're still, like Alana said, 349 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: and half away from the trade deadline, you have some 350 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: internal options. I just went on a whole tangent last 351 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: week about it's time for andre E. Lipsius, who just 352 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: keeps riding high. I know you had your tweet that 353 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,479 Speaker 3: popped off on the tweeter machine on X about Elypsius. 354 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: Why are we not seeing andre E. Lipsius in Dodger Blue, 355 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: Because I think some people aren't understanding why we're not 356 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: seeing him. 357 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: Yet, some roster crunch stuff. You know, he's just like 358 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: you see right there, he's they You've got some players 359 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: in the big league roster. It's it's kind of tough 360 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: to move Keith Arinandez. You have to keep him there, 361 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: Chris Taylor, contractual wise, it's a tough thing to play 362 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: around with. I'm very concerned about why Miguel Vargas isn't 363 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: getting more playing time. I don't know what they're doing. 364 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: He's just he's up there to hang out and not 365 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: play so much. So I believe that Elypsius, you know, 366 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: can't deserves a call. It's just a matter of where 367 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: you're going to play him. And the more we don't 368 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: hear about Max mount See and that when that timeline 369 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: gets even further, it's a question that needs to answered 370 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: even more, like who are you playing at third base here? 371 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: Because Keyk's had, you know, his defensive issues at third. 372 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: I think he's a natural outfielder and when he's in 373 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: the infield, he's more up the middle, and I think 374 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: that's where he's most comfortable. So Ellpsius is a guy 375 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: that could certainly get some run. And it's not Miguel 376 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: Vargus because he hasn't played there and over almost a 377 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: year he went down to Triple A and he's played 378 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: exclusively left field. This year. He started the year in 379 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: Triple A exclusively left field. So that's a guy they're 380 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: thinking pure corner outfielder. So third base wise, you're kind 381 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: of stuck at the moment with Rojas, Key k Hernandez Selypsius. 382 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: You know, Clint is a guy that I think could 383 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: get some run, absolutely deserves it. 384 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 3: I think he's earned it. 385 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: I think so too. And it's funny too because I 386 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 2: was thinking, well, no, not if not if he's just 387 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: another infielder. We have too many of those guys that 388 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: you know, can can play in the infield and can't hit. 389 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: So if you want to put him, if you want 390 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: to put him in the corner outfield, I'm fine with that. 391 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: I like that. Before we let you go, Scott, I 392 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: just wanted to ask you one more quick question about 393 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: the biggest error, the biggest hole you see with this club. 394 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: I would still say it bleeds into a few if 395 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: you can keep me on while I try to break 396 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: this down, it's it's it keeps drawing me right back 397 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: to what's going on with the middle infield and with 398 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: Gavin Lux and Mookie Bets. And if people think that 399 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: just getting lee average from Gavin Lux is worth keeping 400 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Mookie Bets at short stuff, because I have to bring 401 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: up a point that it's kind of raised my eyebrows 402 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: a bit, and it's concerning because I appreciate Mooki Bets. 403 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: I love him. I love him as a he's a 404 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: he's a good person, he's a good player. But over 405 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: the weekend it was the first time I've heard him 406 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: speak really about his confidence going up to the plate 407 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: and having confidence stepping into the box. And I can't 408 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: think of anything that he's done differently this year besides 409 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: play in a completely new position and have to learn 410 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: a new position. His defensive metrics aren't terrific, they aren't good. 411 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: They are below league gaverage, and it's getting to a 412 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: point where how much is that helping the Dodgers and 413 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: how much is Gavin Lux hurting the Dodgers. So you 414 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: can flip with that however you want, But is Gavin 415 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: Lux doing enough to say it's okay, we can keep 416 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: having Mooki Bets at shortstop and for whatever negatives that's 417 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: having on him on both sides, is that worth continuing 418 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: what's going on here and having Gavin Lux play. Is 419 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: Gavin Lux playing at a league average level, which is 420 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: right now what he did in May barely below? Is 421 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: that worth keeping Mookie Bets at shortstop going forward? And 422 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: that's my biggest thing. And then that bleeds into the 423 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: conversation of now, how do you work in that bench spot, 424 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: how do you work in the rotational pieces, and then 425 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: focus towards the outfield. But for me, it's going to 426 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: continue to be on Mooki Bets because he was playing 427 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: out of his mind in the first month, and I 428 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: think it's fair to think that after the first month 429 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: of the season, you know, that wear and tear and 430 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: that extra work is kind of bleeding into everything else 431 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: because you saw it's a clear fallof from you know, 432 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: March to April and then to May. Was a steep 433 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: drop off in production from Mookie Bets. 434 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: Scott Geerman has always you're giving us a lot to 435 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 2: think about. We appreciate you coming on as always, my friend. 436 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate you both, 437 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: and have your terrific day. It's a fun time. Everybody 438 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: should be happy about what they just saw against the Yankees. 439 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: Just think about it. Sweep of the Braves go from there. 440 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm happy. 441 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: I'm happy. Clint doesn't care. He was hiking or something. 442 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe he was an underwater basket. I'm teasing. 443 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Scott, We'll talk to you soon. All right, 444 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: time now for behind the seams as Dodgers territory continues. Clint, 445 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: this is interesting. The Athletic just came out with a 446 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 2: poll about a couple of different categories, like worst organization 447 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: as far as you know, guys, think what the worst 448 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: organization is. You might be really surprised to learn it 449 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 2: was the Oakland Athletics. But there was also a question 450 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: about who guys in the league want to play with, 451 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: you know, as far as like good vibes and the 452 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: top three As far as Dodgers players are concerned. Bets Freeman, 453 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: Otani are the most that Mookie Betts is the most 454 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: wanted teammate and base ball According to a Major League 455 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 2: survey on an anonymous player poll. BET's known for his 456 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 2: smile on the field and leadership skills in the clubhous 457 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: was the number one pick, but who else received votes? Well, 458 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: Otani and Freeman were up there as well. So, if 459 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: you could play with anybody in the major leagues, who 460 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 2: would you play with? 461 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a cheap answer, but it has to 462 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 3: be MOOKI he does have fun out there, and I 463 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 3: could also be close enough to ask him like, hey, 464 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 3: what's going on? Man? He's sure you really want to 465 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 3: be playing short stuff for the rest of the season. 466 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 3: Is this a good plan? Maybe maybe you're tired, Maybe 467 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: take a couple of days off here and there. But 468 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: Moky he does it all. He He's good at every 469 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: single thing. You want to go bowling, you go bowling 470 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: with Mookie. You want to go play golf, You golf 471 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: with Mookie, which, of course, you know, ball players have 472 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: a lot of time to do. Moki is just a 473 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 3: fun guy. The the energy is infectious, especially when you 474 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: see him, you know, off the field, off the field, 475 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 3: very You know he's gonna be serious. He takes his 476 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 3: job very seriously. But mooky, he's good. It's a good pick. 477 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 3: I think these as a MLB stars know what they're 478 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: talking about. 479 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: Well, Glass now got some votes as well, silly, and 480 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: Murphy was off to a good start yesterday, but he 481 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: doesn't get any run support. Really, what about a pitcher? 482 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 2: Who would you want to to I don't know who 483 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 2: would you want to catch? If you could play a 484 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: game of catch with? Who is it? 485 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 3: Oh? Have a catch? Give me Edward Kershaw. I want 486 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: to have a catch with Kershaw right now, because you 487 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: know the villa won't be as hard and easier to 488 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 3: receive you. 489 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: Actually catch it? Okay, fair? What about it? What about 490 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: a former Dodger? 491 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 3: Can I bring up Russell Martin? Two weeks in a row. 492 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: Martin's my guy, big time, big time, Ruscus. 493 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: Your fantasy man.

You 497 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: know it doesn't necessarily need to be a Dodger. I 498 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 3: am aware we're Dodgor's territory. 499 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: Besides my husband, I would say if I could, well, 500 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: I have an unbelievable and to respect for Derek Peter. 501 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: I love Chase Lutley. That's no surprise there. As far 502 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: as like former players are concerned that war Dodgers Chase 503 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: David Freese, I'm obsessed. As far as players on another team, 504 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: I would run through a brick wall for Bryce Harper. 505 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 2: I would love just to hang out with Bryce Harper, 506 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: just to just to shoot the ship, have a beer, 507 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: even though I don't drink beer. I just love him. 508 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: I love what he's done for that city. I love 509 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: everything about Bryce Harper. Yes, Alysheva Jones Kershaw, Yes, I 510 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: get it. I love Kersh. I've known Kersh for a long, 511 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: long long time. 512 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: You're too close to Kershaw. 513 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've known Kershel a really long time. No, I 514 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: mean I love him. I love him, of course, But yeah, 515 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 2: I think you know. I would have loved to have 516 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: been in London this weekend with Chase Utley and Bryce Harper. 517 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: That would have been cool just to you know, have catch, 518 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 2: have a pint, maybe some fish and chips, some bangers 519 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 2: and mash. I don't know. Also, part of this Athletic article. 520 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: All these polls that they did, ninety two percent Clint 521 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: of the anonymous players that were polled said that spending 522 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: money on the game is good for baseball. No shit, 523 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 2: of course it is. 524 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, imagine that these players that want a lot of money, 525 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 3: they saw what the Dodgers are doing. Most of them 526 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 3: think what the Dodgers did this offseason is good for baseball. 527 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: I liked one of the comments saying, maybe, you know, 528 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 3: the whole deferred contracts not as as ideal for baseball, 529 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: those kind of you know, those deals, they might not 530 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 3: be the problems for Andrew Friedman or even this ownership 531 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 3: group in ten years from now. I don't think google him. 532 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: I don't think freemen are going anywhere. But the interesting 533 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 3: takes from players there. But yeah, you want teams to 534 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 3: spend on their teams. You want these organizations to put 535 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 3: the best product on the field. And I think it's 536 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 3: a fair argument to say the Dodgers have, you know, 537 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: for the money, one of the best products on the field. 538 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: And I think they nailed it by saying the a's 539 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 3: kind of not so much. 540 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: And it's not even so much, just the a's for 541 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: not spending money. I mean, there's a litany of reasons 542 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 2: that the A's are a horrible organization. But think about 543 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: the fact that there are what eleven teams in the 544 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: National League that are two games out of making the 545 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: postseason just based on record. I mean, there's nothing that 546 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 2: says sexy like you have a mediocre team that can 547 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 2: get into the postseason by winning eighty games. Like that 548 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 2: to me is just ridiculous. I mean, it's it's pretty 549 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 2: obvious in the National League who's going to the postseason. 550 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 2: I mean it might be a little bit harder in 551 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 2: the American League, but really it's not rocket science, you 552 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: know what I mean. Spend some money, Let's have a 553 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: little bit more of a competitive nature, a competitive fire. 554 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: Don't tell me that you're losing money as a baseball owner. 555 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: No, you're not. 556 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: I don't care if you're the New York Yankees and 557 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 2: hal Steinbrenner, or if you're Jeff Fisher or whatever the 558 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 2: hell his name is in Oakland. You're not losing money. 559 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 2: You're not. 560 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you. 561 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: And by the way, Joe Blow, who has to spend 562 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: you know, thirty dollars to get a hot dog at 563 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: your stadium? That's the guy that can complain about ticket 564 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: prices and concessions, just a guy that's trying to make 565 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: ends meet and take his family to a game. An 566 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: owner makes way more than the players do, so I 567 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: don't want to hear it. Spend money, grow the game, 568 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: be better. 569 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 3: I agree. I agree, crushed it, do better way. Bad 570 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 3: teams rockies as well, throw them in there. 571 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: Sorry, Ilana, No no apology necessary. That's fine, trust me. Yeah, 572 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: you know, like if you're the Marlins went to the 573 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: postseason last year and they, you know, traded their best 574 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: player on May third, So that's cool. All right. Time 575 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: now for last licks Clinton, let me introduce you my 576 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: friend to Peppermint Patty. All right, guys, this sweetheart is 577 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: Peppermint Patty. She is between ten to twelve years old. 578 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: She was found as a stray yesterday on the streets 579 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 2: of Inglewood. She's definitely a senior gal. We think that 580 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: she may be a little bit on the having heart 581 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: of seeing side, little bit blind. We're not one hundred 582 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: percent sure. It took three baths to get her all clean, 583 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: but she's feeling good. She's feeling single, ready to mingle. 584 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 2: She is so easy, just looking for a just looking 585 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 2: for a soft spot to lay her sweet little head. 586 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 2: If you're interested in supporting her foster supplies or adopting 587 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 2: the sweetheart, please hit me up at Alanaizza or Gidri's 588 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: guardian on Instagram and Twitter. All right, let's talk about this. 589 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 2: Clint Glass now runs support lack thereof, as our final 590 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: topic of Dodger's territory today. 591 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 3: So Glass, I think it was when he went like 592 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: thirty five innings or something without receiving any run support 593 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 3: from the Dodgers. Of course, he finally gets some run 594 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: support and Trent friggin Grisham hits a three run bomb, 595 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: Oswaldo Cabrera hits a homer on him off of him 596 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 3: in New York. So it is a little frustrating. But yeah, man, 597 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 3: this dude Glass has really been a tough luck pitcher 598 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 3: in baseball this year. I mean, he opened the season 599 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 3: that when the Dodgers were on fire, he was leading 600 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 3: baseball with the six wins, but very much come down 601 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: to earth of late. And I guess that's what happens 602 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 3: when you're the ace. You're you're facing these other you know, 603 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: aces of the other teams. You're gonna face the best 604 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 3: and the Dodgers are you know, their lineup is going 605 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 3: through it at different points in time. Decided to wake 606 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 3: up a little bit. But it's tough. I want to 607 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 3: see uh, I want to see Glass now getting you know, 608 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 3: twelve wins in there, maybe getting some cy young love, 609 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 3: but uh, it's not it's not in the cards yet. 610 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, the win last record isn't there six and five, 611 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: But that's not on him completely. Obviously, win loss really 612 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 2: rarely is completely on the pitcher. But I do think 613 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: that he has been so good for this Dodgers team. 614 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: I think that he has been solid in every single 615 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: start that he's had. I mean, he gives you a 616 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: chance to win. He goes as deep into games as 617 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: to let him go just coming off of you know, 618 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: his the most innings he's ever thrown last year again 619 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: and and they've done enough. They've done enough. By the way, 620 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: how did we not talk about Gavin Stone? 621 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: I was just about to say, we need to bring 622 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 3: up Stoner. 623 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: For we definitely got to talk more about him on 624 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: Thursday when we have our next live episode. Gavin Stone 625 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: has stones bro what he was able to do at 626 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. I was like, oh, hello, sorry, sorry, I 627 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: ever doubted you. He looks great. 628 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 3: It was easy to be a Gavin Stone doubt or 629 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 3: entering during the season. Did not have a good debut 630 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 3: season last year. But like we talked to Mark prior, 631 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 3: like we talked to Oral Herscheizer about, this is a 632 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 3: kid that put in the work, kind of revamped the body, 633 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 3: revamped the stuff, the pitch mix a little bit. And 634 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: this is a dude who very much straight up held 635 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 3: his own alongside the names of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler 636 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 3: Glass now did and and to throw that in did 637 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: not have his best stuff by any stretch of the imagination. 638 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: Gives up ten base runners against that vaunted Yankees lineup, 639 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 3: but limits the damage just two runs. Gave the team 640 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 3: everything he had in the tank as they were coming 641 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 3: off of you know, unintentional back to back bullpen games 642 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 3: coming out of Pittsburgh. Help that bullpen reset heading into 643 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 3: this off day and whatever Dodgers are going to really 644 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 3: look at that series and look at Yamamoto start, look 645 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: at Stone starts as kind of blessings that this team 646 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 3: needed to get everybody back on track. But Stone, man, 647 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 3: that get us fun to watch. 648 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: Now, that was good though I like what you said, 649 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 2: he limited the damage. That's what I mean. That's where 650 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 2: the stones come in because you get traffic on the basis, 651 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: but you figure it out and you minimize that damage. 652 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 2: All right, We're going to be back. We have so 653 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 2: much more to talk about on Thursday, another live edition 654 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: of Dodgers' Territory for clif to see us.
