WEBVTT - Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing Exit Early in Dodgers Victory Over Twins 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.720 But the big thing was just finding a way to 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:04.000 make sure that the Dodgers kept nine players on the field. 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.560 Kyle Tucker left the game with fact spasms and Dalton 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:08.000 rushing percussion protocol. 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.040 Hello everybody, and welcome to the live postgame edition of 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.640 Dodgers Territory on this June twenty second. I'm Alana Rizzo. 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.440 That is Katie Wu and Clint Pisias. We are psyched 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.800 that you guys are here. Get your comments in the chat. 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.240 I always appreciate you guys being here, and we want 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.839 to know what you think about this game. A two 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:41.440 to one victory over did we just play twins? The 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.760 Minnesota Twins? Good for us. It was all about the 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.800 home run today. Obviously, our guys get two, the Twins 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.120 get one. We will take that every single time. Good 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.040 to be with the two of you as well. It's 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.639 the first team to hit fifty wins. Katie, you've been 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.240 there for the majority of them. You'll take a two 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.440 to one ball game at the pace in which they played. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.880 What's your biggest takeaway in this one? 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.920 The fact that they were able to get a win 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.679 with two hopefully not critical injuries, but very important players 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.360 right now, given the state of the Dodgers roster. Lose 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.800 Kyle Tucker in the second inding and then Dalton Rushing 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.959 almost immediately after that. So Dodgers playing with a super 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.520 thin bench. I'm sure we'll get into later in the show. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.319 But some clutch moments came up with roughners in scoring position. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.640 They still weren't able to cash in on those opportunities. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.480 But the big thing was just finding a way to 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.880 make sure that the Dodgers kept nine players on the field. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.520 And we'll hopefully find more information about Kyle Tucker left 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:39.200 the game with backspasms and Dalton Rushing concussion protocol throughout postgame. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.240 Yeah, a lot of different big storylines in this one. 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.959 You got the injuries, you got Eric Lauer. The offense 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.240 seems to be the like I would say, least invasive. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.080 I don't know, my words are going to be shitty tonight. 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.639 But they tried. They had enough. They put enough points 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.760 on the board. Here with a leadoff Homer from Show Hey, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.240 Freddie Homer's later in the game. You know what, I 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.960 want to get it out of the way early because 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.280 I'm happy with Shoe Hey atani Shocker Show. Show Hey 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.840 is going to be today's FanDuel Daily Dinger pick because 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.600 he hit a dinger today. How about this dude. He's 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.239 hit seven homers now in his last thirteen games. Show 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.919 Hay is starting to crank up the power a little 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.880 bit more as we get into summer. The swing, I 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.560 wouldn't say, I won't say it's bad, show Hey. Swing 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.320 is never bad, but he was a little bit off 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.560 with the swing for a good stretch there early in May. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.440 He's finding some things. The on base is great, the 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.240 bath to ball is a lot better, and you're starting 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.880 to see him really show out for a little bit 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.079 of power. So we love that from messer Otani there. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.720 The you know, the knee is is not a problem apparently, Katie. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.960 And also you know new dad strength helps. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.760 Yeah, two time Dad strength, Clint. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:59.079 Hello strength, two time power. So given that this game 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:00.920 went very nice to see, show Hey. I mean that 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.760 was obviously I'm in Minnesota, but I felt like I 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.760 heard it from here with one of those ty swings 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.160 tany contact, so they really needed given that another one 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.080 run ball game, six of their last seven. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.560 We're just not going to talk about Sunday's game. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.799 We're just going to eliminate that from our memories six 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.799 of their last seven one run ball games playing with 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:19.440 fire here. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:20.080 In Los Angeles. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.200 Yeah, yeah, I tell you twelve to one. Did you see? 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.520 I was like, what what? What is happening? 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:27.320 I bailed? 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.600 Oh I wish gosh. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:30.160 Yeah. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:31.800 I looked around and I was like, I think if 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.000 they scored ten runs, I should legally be allowed to leave. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:34.800 But that was not the case. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.600 But guys, you know the MLB season isn't full swing. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.920 Let me get the FanDuel stuff in right here, guys, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.280 and FanDuel is giving you a shot to call your 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.560 chance to call your shot with Daily Dingers.

We appreciate you supporting us. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.400 Some more offensive talk. Guys entering the game. Can the 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.240 sluggish offense get back on track? Can you tell us 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.440 a little bit more about the column that you just had, 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.280 because we just talked about the woe that was Sunday. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.479 But this is a you don't often hear Dave Roberts 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.440 speak ill. And it's not that he was putting anybody down, 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.560 but he did not like the at back quality of 0:04:58.640 --> 0:04:59.040 his team. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:04:59.680 Tell us more. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.080 Yeah, you guys know this. Dodgers fans know this. 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.719 Dave Roberts is by nature a very patient manager. He 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.479 trustes veterans to figure things out, and he is very 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.960 very patient with her younger guys and experienced guys on 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.800 the lineup, kind of going through the ebbs and flows 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.520 of learning to adjust to major League pitching. But he 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.720 did not like the quality of the bats against that 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.000 in that Oriel series, and rightfully so. Dodgers left a 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.680 lot of men on base. There didn't seem to be 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.320 an overall collective approach. I'll go ahead and read that 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.599 full quote from Dave Roberts after Sunday's loss. Dave said, 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.280 the mindset of being offensive and scaring pictures out of 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:32.000 the strike zone. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.480 I think for us it's been it's very in between pictures. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.880 Just start to get that rhythm, that comfort, and that 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.279 just shouldn't be the case with our lineup. There's passivity 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.359 at the wrong time. I think that the mindset of 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.479 scaring guys out of the hitting zone, we're. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.600 Just not doing that right now. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.680 And that's an approach that you can kind of see 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.880 one through nine with these Dodgers' hitters. It's more of 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:54.359 a like, when you have the star power of the Dodgers, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.640 you want to make pictures get you out, So you 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.560 shouldn't be given them strikes were you know you're going 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.159 out in the zone and you're chasing, they don't have 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.760 to come attack you. We saw this, and I don't 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.800 want to make this all about Kyle Tucker because he's 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.080 not the only problem, but that at bat Saturday night and. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.039 Which the Dodgers lost three to two, where he took. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.000 A splitter in the dirt for ball one and then 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.120 three straight splitters from there that he swung on a 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.080 mist out of the zone that to me was a 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.800 kind of in a bat that Dave Roberts was like 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.120 a microcosm level that he does not want his hitters 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:23.560 to be doing. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.440 And I thought it was. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.600 Interesting because obviously there's no Will Smith, no Tiascar Hernandez 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.360 guys that really helps solidify that lineup, and you're looking 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.719 at a lot of relatively inexperienced players with rushing Ryan 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.720 war at Alex Freeland. So I asked Dave, you know, 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.599 is this a combination of the inexperience and he actually 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.880 said that he thought those three guys were actually taking 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.039 some of the better advaths collectively. So it's on really 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.440 the top of the lineup for me, and again hard 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.479 to evaluate if they got better because a big chunk 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:49.440 of that is Kyle Tucker. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:50.960 Obviously did not play. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.200 Most of this game, but it's clear Dodgers still have 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.760 the best offense in terms of stats and production in baseball. 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.160 But Dave Roberts not happy with the overall approach from 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:00.840 its hitters lately. 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.159 Yeah, and it is funny. We are seeing better sometimes 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.640 better approaches, better at bat you know, just quality later 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.280 in the game. But riz it feels like probably once 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.720 a month, especially for a team like the Dodgers, you're 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.520 coming off back to back World Series. They were talking 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.760 about it a pregame on SNLA you know, you know, 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.160 I think it was snl A. But the regular season 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.040 is a formality for the Dodgers, even if they have 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.880 to pretend like it's not. At some point it seems 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.760 like it's real easy for your head to get elsewhere. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.080 And maybe I'm not going to say they're not putting 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.840 in the work, but maybe just you know, the mind 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.200 wanders a little bit during during a baseball game, or 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.360 during a series, or during a particular series. And I 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.960 know you've seen it. You've covered this team. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.000 There's there is no question about that. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.480 I mean, think about the fact that you know, we 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.040 do however many shows, three or four shows a week, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.520 and not every single show is at the ultimate level 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.520 where we're gonna win Emmys. Whatever, the podcast whatever, the 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.040 podcasting whatever, the podcasting award is, but honestly, it is 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.840 hard to be you know, one hundred percent all the 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.480 time and every single thing that you do. And to 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.920 your point, the Dodgers are built for October, right if 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.960 they can continue to tread water. I mean, we're really 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.280 getting into the dog days of summer. We're about five 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.000 weeks away from the trade deadline, and then it's even 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.440 a week after the All Star Game for the trade deadline, 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.920 so they're all kind of waiting for that, and then 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:25.880 you really get into it. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:26.720 I don't really. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.360 Ever worry about how they're doing at this time of year. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.040 To me, the time to truly ramp up. And let's 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.559 not forget they still have a nine game advantage in 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.880 the standings right so it's like you want to make 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.720 sure that the first thing you want to do is 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.040 win your division, and right now that's what the Dodgers 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.280 are doing. They are winning their division by nine and 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.080 a half games now nine and a half games, so 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.280 they're still on pace to do exactly what they need, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.199 what we would like for them to do, but they're 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.640 just trying to tread water right now with the amount 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.440 of injuries that already are on the shelf to key 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.680 pieces of this program obviously the Blake Snells of the world, 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.520 the Tyler Glasnows of the world. And now we're going 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.839 to wait and see what happens to Kyle Tucker. I mean, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.000 God bless chucki Robinson. But I mean, he's not the answer. 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.880 I said this the other day when Will Smith, we 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.800 knew it was going to miss some significant time, and 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.240 now he's obviously not on the road trip. I said, 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.120 what happens if something happens to Dalton because we don't 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.839 have that depth at that position, and I'm not trying 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.959 to manifest it. But obviously he had to come out 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.680 of the game to make sure he didn't have a concussion. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.520 And Chucky Robinson, god bless him. He's just not major 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.200 league ready catcher. He's just not that guy. So that's okay, though. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.440 They're just going to try to tread water and get 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.040 the pieces back as they come, and they will be fine. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.920 You win the division by nine and a half games, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.240 you get home field advantage and you go from there. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.079 But no, to think that this team is going to 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.520 play balls to the wall for one hundred and sixty 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.280 two games is just not realistic. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:52.960 I mean, some guys live for October. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.880 This is a team that, like just they all you 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.120 have to do is maintain and I'd say the first 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.480 team to fifty wins and a nine and a half 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.280 game lead than the division is even. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.319 Better than maintaining. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.600 So it happens, right, It's not every every series is 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.480 not going to be Game seven. It just doesn't work 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.160 that way. Look at what happened against the Orioles, and 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:09.960 that seems terrible. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:15.880 Yeah, it's the unrealistic expectations that come with watching and 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.800 covering the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Katie, I know you've 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.760 seen that difference since coming over here from your years 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.880 with the Cards. It's just it's a different expectation the 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:30.840 fan base. You lost too against the Orioles, and you know, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:35.320 all hell starts to break loose a little bit. Fine, Alana, 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:36.640 it's gonna be great. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:37.880 It's gonna be great. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.199 And they won, and they won first fifty wins, a 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.960 lot of really really good stuff. It's not always perfect, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.880 and they're battling with a lot of injuries. We'll talk 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.000 more about those injuries and all that kind of stuff 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.560 coming up. First. The word from our friends at foul 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:58.079 Territory when my puppy Bella has something wrong. I'm not 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.040 going to go around googling what to do. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.960 Yeah, Kratz, let's have a better plan.

Bad luck. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.880 Right when Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing go out, go 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.079 out in the same game, basically back to back. So 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.079 Tucker walks in the second and then advances to second 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:09.920 on an Edmund single. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:10.760 Then he was removed. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.800 Now the team says that it was because of lower 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.280 back spasms, and you hope that's. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:15.520 All it is. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.960 You hope it's just a backspasm or a cramp or whatever. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.320 He seemed to be walking around fine in the dugout. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.360 But again, that's not when you already have Taoscar out. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.240 You know, you already have all these other guys out. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.760 That's the last thing I know that Kyle Tucker hasn't, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.760 you know, been all world in terms of his offense. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.319 But Katie, this is not somebody that you can afford 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.560 to lose, considering you still have guys that you're waiting 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:39.880 to have them come back. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.200 Yeah, I completely agree. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:43.680 But and some things that I want to notice again, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.000 just my observations from home watching on TV, Kyle Tucker 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.400 was not visited by a trainer at Second Pace. Dave 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.240 Roberts watched him and made the call to take him 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.280 out immediately. No combo to me that suggests this is 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.000 something that the Dodgers were aware of beforehand and just 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.120 wanted to monitor. I'm sure we'll hear more from Dave 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.560 on the postgame show. But if you're going to have, 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.400 you know, just a look from your manager to see, 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.680 you know, Kyle Tucker kind of crouching over a little 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.160 uncomfortable and get him out of there without even a convo, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.760 that to me has been okay. Well, he's clearly talks 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.760 about this with the medstaff and Dave Roberts and they 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.920 were aware of it. And then television cameras showed Kyle 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.000 Tucker and the dugout. You know, he went straight to 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.280 the hitting coaches before the trainers. So all of these 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.480 signs to me indicated that this is a problem or 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.319 an issue that they were aware of and just didn't 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:25.319 want to make it worse. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.560 Dalton Rushing a little bit of a different situation. Who 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.360 comes in. I believe it was the first pitch of 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.280 the game that he rocked on that foul t hit. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:32.760 Uh. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.480 Obviously welcome, Welcome to the game, Dalton. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.600 So I think with Kyle Tucker is kind of a 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.040 wait and see, as we've seen with Tyler glassnew backspasms 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.480 can be tricky, and with Dalton he just hope that 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.319 he can pass concussion protocols. But this is clearly if 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.520 this becomes more for Kyle Tucker, not what the Dodgers 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.520 need right now. They can cover and I think Ryan 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.959 wod has done a nice job filling in. Tommy Edmund 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.319 has been pretty Tommy Edmund like since coming off the IL. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.080 He can play in the corners to uh. Dodgers should 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.920 get tasker Hernandez back by this time next week. But 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.240 if Kyle Tucker misses any time, that's seven days they 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.000 got a fill and that can get a little dicey. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.800 You know, it's funny. I don't know if it's funny, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.600 but it's funny that you go on social media and 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.680 the first thing people start you start seeing is people 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.960 clamoring for Okay, now they get to call up James 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.680 Tibbs because Tucker's gonna go on the IL, and you know, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.840 just there, everybody wants something else other than Kyle Tucker 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.040 right now. Which, yeah, it's not a great season. I 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.680 don't necessarily care. The Dodgers won a world last year 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.720 with you know, Michael CONFORDO just being crap. It happens, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.760 you can survive it. But it is interesting to see 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.920 the fan base. I wouldn't say turn on him quickly. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.400 It has been a few months, but showing signs of 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.960 life at different points, and hopefully this is not one 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.080 of those things it turns into a glass now situation 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:54.240 where we know Dave. You know, I. 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.000 Just don't even know if it was like turning on him. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.840 I don't think they were ever on really on board, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.200 you know what I mean, Like he hasn't had like 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.560 a like a big Dodger moment yet. You know, I 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.160 just think it's just like, I mean, I was excited 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.360 that they signed Kyle Tucker, but to me, it wasn't 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.920 like the oh my god, we got Kyle Tucker, not 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.680 like not how I felt when they signed Edwin dis 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.560 or how I felt when they signed Sho he o 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.560 Tony Okay, like that kind of like wow, that's that's 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.520 a that's a huge gut And Kyle Tucker just hasn't 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.080 shown us the contract yet, not to say that he won't, 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:25.840 but there has. To me, it's just kind of like 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.920 just kind of vanilla in terms of that. Dalton rushing 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.560 for me, guys with the whole situation that I was 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.920 worried about. If he went down, Okay, Chucky Robinson, what 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.000 are we gonna do? But it's like he came up 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.880 two different times, two runners on and two outs already 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.040 he struck out both times. We're gonna need more from 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:45.400 that position, then we're getting with CHUCKI Robinson. If for 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.200 whatever reason Dalton rushing does have a concussion, which hopefully 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.080 he doesn't offer that foul tip off of the helmet, 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.280 and obviously if Will Smith is out for longer than 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.560 we expect, but they're gonna have to do something at 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.360 that position because it's obviously uh you know that's that 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.800 that's not the answer there, especially with little Smith out 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:03.840 longer than expected. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.360 Yeah, well so we got we actually got an update 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.360 here from Fabian Our of the Athletic on the rushing side. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.040 He passed initial concussion testing. Dodgers are going to bring 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.320 in an extra catcher in case. I don't even know 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.320 who the hell that would be exactly. 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.800 Elizae Alonzo was okay, see, but he's not on the 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:23.400 forty man. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.160 Yes, that would be just based on. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.680 What is what is Sam doing? Does anybody I know that. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.400 I know that Austin Barnes was that Petros and Money 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:31.920 the other day. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:32.840 Is he available? 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:39.600 I I don't think so. Yeah. Anyways, and then yeah, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.720 the the Tucker backspas is not expecting any imaging or 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.080 anything like that. They're they're not concerned about Tucker. So 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.200 he has minutes to live, I would imagine at this point. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:56.680 But yeah, even everything is everything they listened, there is 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.160 too much. Yo know, it's gonna be great. Everything is perfect, It's. 0:16:59.000 --> 0:16:59.480 Gonna be great. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.480 I've been saying that for three years. They've won World 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.000 Series Championship too. 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.400 You want from me, listen, I take it all back 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.440 either way, you know, concussion or no. Notwithstanding here, they 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.280 need to improve the Chucky Robinson part of the roster. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.600 I don't know how. I mean last year, you know 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.639 when they traded for at the time the man I 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.200 called Ron Rovertelt because I was like, what the fuck 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.000 is this name? That's just putt in front Ben Rohart Vett. 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.720 They need another Ben Roardvett to just fall gently into 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.560 their arms again because not to laughs. You know, he's 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.320 a big boy. They need something like that. They need 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.040 someone like that. Of course, Bend is with the Mets, 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.280 and I think he's on the IL, the minor league 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.600 IL right now. He is not an option, but they 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.720 need a different option. Again, with all due respect to 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:48.000 Chuckie Robinson, seems like a nice enough guy, but they 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.639 need a little help. There need a little help. We're 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.119 gonna have to figure it out. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.840 I was, you know, I want Will Smith in the 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:57.760 lineup as much as possible front of the show. But 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.000
