1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: The fact that they even put a timeline out there.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: If there's any team that likes to keep things close

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: to the vest, it's the Dodgers and Kershaw hates timelines.

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: What up, everybody, and welcome to a new meet. Welcome

Speaker 4: Well?

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 3: We were talking before going live about the whole white

00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: T shirt thing and all that. I'm telling we put

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: me and the white way too time. No, that's how

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 3: we lose people. But guys, subscribe, tell your friends, tell

21

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: the more territories you have. If you have a show,

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: a team you want covered, maybe the Foul Territory people

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: will add it, but just subscribe, folks.

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're lucky to be on the Foul Territory family.

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: Of course, North Side Territory is now on our channel

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: as well with.

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: The Chicago Cubs.

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: We have Hammer and Territory all covering the Atlanta Braves.

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: By the way, you and I are used to doing

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: these shows on Mondays and Thursdays, but on Wednesday, we're

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: going to have a postgame show right here on Dodgers Territory,

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: So make sure you join Clinton I for the postgame show.

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good time.

35
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: But for now, Oh, by the way, it's supposed to

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: be Paul Skenes and James Paxton as the probable starters

37
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: for Wednesday, So let's pray that there is no rain

38
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: in the berg and we'll have a lot to talk

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: about in our first post game show here on Dodgers Territory.

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Let's get to the big ticket, all right, the Love Affair.

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Everybody that is watching us here on Dodger Territory. Everyone

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: that is listening wherever you get your podcasts, listening on

43
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: you YouTube, watching on YouTube, The Love Affair between Clint Pisius,

44
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: my host, and Miguel Rojas continues to grow. You think

45
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: he still needs a bigger role. You're still not satisfied,

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: never enough, Meggy Row.

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: It's it's it's tough because I think he's playing as

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: well as he is because of the It's not a

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: limited role, it's not.

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 5: A reduced role. It's a very good role for him

51
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 5: at this age.

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: A great article came out over the weekend from the

53
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: La Times talking about where he's talking a lot about

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: his role and how much work he's still putting in

55
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 3: before the games. You know, we talked to him a

56
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago here on the show. If you

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: guys didn't watch it, it was a good conversation.

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 5: With Miggy Row.

59
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: But he's he's putting the full game, you know, a

60
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: full day of work before the games, working with somebody

61
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: like Mookie Betts at Shortstop of course Lux Muncy when

62
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: he wasn't hurt. But this team is very, very good.

63
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: When Miguel Rojas is in the lineup, you see seventeen

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: and oh here on the screen when he records a hit,

65
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: that's pretty good because you want to see more wins

66
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: than losses I had all so noted on my Twitter

67
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: twenty five and ten when he's in the game, seventeen

68
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: and eight when he does start. So he's a difference

69
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: maker for this team, whether it's at second base, whether

70
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: it's at third base or shortstop, where I think we

71
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: could see him end up long term. But uh, Miggey

72
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: Rowe getting it done at age thirty five, and it's

73
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: fun to watch.

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: It's funny when you're thirty five and you're a baseball player,

75
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: you're ancient. I would kill to be thirty five.

76
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: Again. It's funny though, because as.

77
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Soon as they like flash up a bunch of numbers

78
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: on the broadcast talking about what the Dodgers do when

79
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: he's in the lineup, you are literally the first person

80
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: I thought of, because I was like, he has been

81
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: singing the praises of Miguel Rojas for so long, and

82
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: here you are.

83
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: And again he continues to pay dividends.

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: But you're fine with the role that he has right now,

85
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: the amount of times that he's playing, the amount of

86
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: starts that he's getting, and then you're pushing the pedal

87
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: to the metal when it matters the most.

88
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a good plan for this team,

89
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: especially if you know, obviously I was sipping the kool

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: aid a little bit last week, got the Francisco Lindor

91
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: talk out there, and some other people already making frankielyn

92
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: door edits in a Dodger's uniform, So that's always funny.

93
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: But this team has a very good unit when it

94
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: comes to the in field, when it comes to the defense,

95
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: and if we see him down the road, maybe he

96
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: starts to pick up more playing time in September. If

97
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: somebody like Gavin Lux can't figure it out or whatever

98
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: it is, they're gonna be in a very good spot.

99
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: That seems gonna be in a very good spot, whether

100
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: Miguel Rojas is at second or better yet, at shortstop.

101
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 5: And what I like.

102
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: Also about him and Alana, I know how much you

103
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: love former Dodger Justin Turner and how important he was

104
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: to that team, to that clubhouse and to Dave Roberts.

105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: We're kind of starting to see a lot of that

106
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: from Miggy Rowe here. How important is it for somebody

107
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: like Dave to have that field general in the clubhouse,

108
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: somebody he can lean on everything.

109
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: It's everything. That's such a good point that you make.

110
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: And I still will never get over the fact that

111
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: they let Justin Turner not finish his career in a

112
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Dodger uniform.

113
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: I thought that was a huge mistake. I understand that

114
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: it comes down to money.

115
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: I know that he wanted a multi year deal, whatever, whatever,

116
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: but it's Justin Turner and he literally, I understand for

117
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: not many teams, there's not a captain in baseball. I

118
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: get the Yankees have it, but Justin Turner, for all

119
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: intents and purposes, was the glue that kept that team together.

120
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: And Dave Roberts called him the glue that kept that

121
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: team together. He is the captain of the Dodgers, and

122
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: he was whether he was zero for four or four

123
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: for four, he would post after every game he could

124
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: have committed three errors, or he could have hit the

125
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: game winning you know, home run, and he was there

126
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: for you and he held other guys accountable. And with that,

127
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: not only is the bat gone, and you know, as

128
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: he got older, the defense at third base wasn't necessarily there.

129
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: We know it's a tough position to play, but not

130
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: only was one of the most clutch bats out of

131
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the lineup. That leadership that you're talking about was out

132
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: of the clubhouse and out of the dugout. And I

133
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: certainly think that Justin Turner could be a manager someday.

134
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: I think he will be a manager someday. I mean,

135
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: I think he's on that trajectory. But yes, if it's

136
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: not Kershaw, who's not necessarily always with the team because

137
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: he's doing rehab starts and simulated games and those types

138
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: of things, he's not always traveling. If it's not Kershaw,

139
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: who again is a veteran, is a leader people like

140
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: you know back in the day when Ef Hutton spoke,

141
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: people listen, that's kersh I don't even know if you

142
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: know who if Hutton is because you're younger than me.

143
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: But Miguel Rojas is that guy, right, He's that position player,

144
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: the veteran player. And that's why pissed me off so much.

145
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: When Jazz Chisholm Junior was talking about how you know

146
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Miguel was getting on the Marlins, Well, where are the

147
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Marlins right now? Derek Jeter bolted, Kim Angle says, no,

148
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: thank you, You're not bringing somebody in above me when

149
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I just took this team to the fricking playoffs. Skip

150
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Schumacher doesn't want to sign an extension there. I mean,

151
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: there are probably already partying ways, even though he was

152
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: a Manager of the Year last year. But whatever, So

153
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: jazz Chism, you know, doesn't like Mickey Rojas getting on

154
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: the young guys. It's a different thing between letting yourself

155
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: have your own personality and being who you are. But

156
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: there's a reason veterans are in this game as long

157
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: as they are. There's a reason Miguel Rojas is, you know,

158
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: fully vested in Major League Baseball because of what he

159
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: brings to the table.

160
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: And he knows.

161
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if if Miguel Rojas is teaching Mooki Betts,

162
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: one of the best athletes in the world, how to

163
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: be a better shortstop, that should tell you something. So

164
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: he's so instrumental, not only at what he brings defensively,

165
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: but what he does as a leader and a cohesive

166
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: unit to keep that team together.

167
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Miggi ro fun.

168
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: And he had also mentioned recently last year he knew

169
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: he was he can get a lot more playing time.

170
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: He was chasing the numbers a little bit in his

171
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: own words. Now he's playing free and easy and he

172
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: feels I think he feels in the second year back

173
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: with the team, he feels a lot more integral to

174
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: the day to day operations, and he's essentially.

175
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 5: A coach on the field right now, he's still playing.

176
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: But hey, maybe one day we got JT managing and

177
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: Migy Row can be that bench coach.

178
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: But that's in the world to be here for a

179
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 5: good long while. Sorry, Dave Robert tators here on the internet.

180
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: No, Dave Robert is a great manager. You know.

181
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: I'll take that to the grave. Dave Roberts has done

182
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a tremendous job with this club. You know what surprised

183
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: me even more than the Meggi Row numbers, which wasn't

184
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: really a surprise, but it was great to solidify what

185
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: you've been talking about for two months. What surprised me

186
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: is Kershaw and the fact that they even put a

187
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: timeline out there. And what is the point in saying

188
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: he's way ahead of schedule. If there is any team

189
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: that likes to keep things close to the vest, other

190
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: than the hockey teams that say lower body injury, upper

191
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: body injury, it's the Dodgers, and Kershaw hates timelines. Did

192
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: that surprise you as much as it surprised me? Clint

193
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: that he's ahead of schedule. You don't need to bring

194
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: him back. They don't need Kursh until September.

195
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: Am I wrong there?

196
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: I mean maybe a little bit more than September. You

197
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: want a two month run. Still that the hope was

198
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: the earliest return was going to be July. He's now

199
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: what was it on the first of June is facing

200
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: hitters live at Dodger Stadium. That's really freaking cool to see.

201
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's ahead of schedule. I don't

202
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: know if that's on time. I mean, this is really

203
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: the start of his spring training. But I don't think

204
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: I agree. I do not think you need to put

205
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: a date of time frame anything out there at this

206
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: point because it just adds to the potential for disappointment.

207
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: And like I said, it's good for storylines for people

208
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: like us who have to cover this thing a couple

209
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: times a week. When you're like, oh man, he's way

210
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: off schedule. They're pushing him back two three weeks. I

211
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 3: was also surprised, Like with Max Munsey, they put a timeline.

212
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: They expected him back at the end of you know,

213
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: the ten day il stint, But now we're probably going

214
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: to push a month and a half without Max Munsey

215
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: in the lineup on the active roster with that oblique thing.

216
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: So it's very it's very not dodgery. But all that

217
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: aside love seeing Clayton Kershaw ck twenty two almost back

218
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: throwing to hitters and it's good for baseball and it's

219
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 3: good for the Dodgers, and.

220
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: It's the thing that you want to hear, you know,

221
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: when you come out of those simulated games or a

222
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: bullpen or whatever you stretch out to you know, ninety

223
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: feet you're playing catcher, whatever it is that he's working on.

224
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: As far as baseball activities are concerned, all you care

225
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: about is that he feels good.

226
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he's coming he's thirty six, he's coming off the.

227
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: First surgery he's ever had, and you just want to

228
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: make sure that whatever it is that he's doing, as

229
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: far as progression is concerned, that he feels good the

230
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: next day coming out of it so you can move forward.

231
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: But the fact that they said he was ahead of schedule,

232
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: I was like, WHOA, When did Clayton Kershaw say it

233
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: was okay to talk about a timeline. I'm like, I

234
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: felt like I was living in you know, in the

235
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: twilight Zone here because.

236
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: That never happens because let's just say.

237
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, he gets a hangnail and then he

238
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: gets pushed back and he's not back, and they're like,

239
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, now what are we gonna do with

240
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. So whatever it is about Freddie Freeman, perhaps

241
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: Clint Pisias. If it means going to Colorado and right

242
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: in the ship and getting things going, I'm all for it.

243
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: Freddy looks good.

244
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, switching gears there.

245
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: Freddy Freeman had himself a nice little series against the

246
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium. Hopefully he can keep going

247
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: the next time he also is in Colorado. Just have

248
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: him always face Rockies pitching. But this is a guy

249
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: who needed that, he needed to have this kind of series.

250
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Did fred Ward Freeman not having his best season by

251
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: his own, you know, very very lofty standards. All that said,

252
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: he's still hitting two ninety three, still getting on base

253
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: at an almost four hundred clip. And you know they've

254
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: been working They've been working on him a lot, working

255
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: on some mechanical cues in his swing. Talking about I

256
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: mean a lot of you've seen it over the last decade,

257
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: plus of Freddie Freeman playing baseball. He's at his best

258
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 3: when he's just pumping that ball over the shortstop, sending

259
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: that ball to left field, and that's when he's going

260
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: to do his most damage. And he's getting closer to that.

261
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: They feel he's getting closer. And if you can get

262
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: him all the way back, this lineup just gets that

263
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: much more frightening.

264
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: For sure, it really does.

265
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: And obviously now there was some talk I'm not certain

266
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: if it's going to happen, Clint, I'd like your opinion

267
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: about this too. There was some talk that perhaps Dave

268
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: Roberts was going to split up Freddy and Showhey in

269
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the lineup when facing certain pitchers. I mean, this is

270
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: a team that constantly tinkers with the lineup. And that's

271
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: what I do love about the Atlanta Braves and Brian Snicker.

272
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: It's like, you pretty much know where you're going to

273
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: be in the lineup every single day, barring a day

274
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: off or barring an injury or what have you.

275
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: Are you all right with splitting these guys up at

276
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: the top the order.

277
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: Well, the idea was, you know, just breaking up Otani

278
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: and Freeman versus lefties, which is fine.

279
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: That's okay.

280
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: You know, Dave Roberts does love doing his lineup tinkering.

281
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: He usually loves doing it after a few months into

282
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: the season. So it is what it is.

283
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: In that regard.

284
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: But the at the top of the lineup still, like

285
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: we've talked about it before.

286
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: Hey, if they're separating him, who are they throwing in there?

287
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: It's Will Smith? And how good has Will Smith been?

288
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: By the way, I was going to tag you Will

289
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: Smith or Dave was talking about Will Smith on I

290
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: think it was MLB Network Radio over the weekend and

291
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: talking about how he believes he is one of the

292
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,479
Speaker 3: most underrated but one of the most underrated players in baseball.

293
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, Dave Roberts is listening to Dodgers' territory. You know,

294
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: they're on the plane right now on the way to

295
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because they flew today instead of flying yesterday after

296
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: the game, which I thought was odd. But they flew

297
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: today to Pittsburgh and then they have a team dinner tonight,

298
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: and I guarantee you they're all on the plane watching us.

299
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: Don't think they're not. They love Dodgers territory. By the way,

300
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Dave on May thirty first said.

301
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, when are you going to get it? When are

302
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: you going to pull the Dave Roberts card and get

303
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: him on here.

304
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I'll do that. I'll get dot

305
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: on no problem.

306
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 5: I can do that.

307
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: You think I can. Don't challenge me for cius, don't

308
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: challenge me.

309
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 5: We're twenty episodes old, now we need to have Dave.

310
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty episodes old and over one thousand subscribers, so

311
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: thank you so much for that. Let's get up to

312
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: two thousand as Clint and I continue to work here

313
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: on Dodgers' Territory. So thank you guys for being a

314
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: part of the show. We're going to be back in

315
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: just a second. How about a quick word from our

316
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: Foul Territory friends, Scott Braun and aerokrats.

317
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: Aerkrats here from FT. I'm a former athlete that really.

318
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: Pays attention to his routine and AG one every morning

319
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: before my workouts is something that gets my day going.

320
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: Hey bron here. Ag one is a foundational nutrition supplement

321
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: that delivers daily nutrients and gut health support, and it's

322
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: backed by multiple research studies, so you can trust what

323
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: you're putting in your body.

324
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: Unlike other products which only test their ingredients, and ag

325
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: One tests their formula.

326
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 4: As a whole. Ready for this stat, ninety seven percent

327
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: of people in a research study felt more energy after

328
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: thirty days of drinking ag one. If I had to

329
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: recommend one product to support whole body health, it's ag

330
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 4: One and that's why FT is excited to have them

Speaker 1: All right, we love having ag one as part of

339
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: the Foul Territory platform.

340
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 5: Love that.

341
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: And I believe Scott Braun anything when it comes to health.

342
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: As I've said this before, the kid works out and

343
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: he looks ridiculous, all right time out for behind the

344
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: scene he is. He's swollen when he's doing all of

345
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: his DM concerts. That's that's electronic dance music, Clint, in

346
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: case you didn't know what EDM. All right, So remember

347
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: when the Dodgers were heavily pursuing Blake Snell, and I

348
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: don't feel like the guy's thrown like two winnings this

349
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: year for the Giants, Aren't you glad? I know hindsight's

350
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and you and I were talking about this

351
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: with our producer Jeremy in our production meeting, but I'm

352
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: kind of glad that the Dodgers didn't get Blake Snell.

353
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: So now was one of those weird ones.

354
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: Like early in the off season, there was no chatter,

355
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: there was no links between the Los Angeles Dodgers and

356
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: Blake Snell. Then as the off season kept progressing and

357
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: the phones were not really ringing off the hook for

358
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: Blake Snell, I started, you know, we had a whole

359
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: live stream on my All Dodgers channel where we were

360
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: talking about it, and I started the segment in the

361
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: narrative of now this team doesn't need him, and we

362
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: started thinking, Oh, this injury can happen, or this or

363
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: Bobby Miller's head falls off or whatever it is, and

364
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: then you started realizing maybe maybe this team really does

365
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: need Blake Snell. Then of course he signs very late

366
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: with the Giants, and then we get the they did

367
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: make a push late for him. Maybe they were watching

368
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: me because apparently they're big fans, but very very glad

369
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: they did not make that move because one, this is

370
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: a very I went called phenomenal. It's a very good

371
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: pitching staff starting rotation that we already see with this team.

372
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: And again, like you.

373
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: Said, Heinze twenty twenty, but I take James Paxson over

374
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: Blake Snell. And yeah, I'm using the numbers, but I'm glad.

375
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: I'm glad it's working out the way it is.

376
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: And here's why.

377
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he just he hasn't pitched a lot. I mean,

378
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: he really could have used a decent spring training. He

379
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: pitched so late that you know, they had to ramp

380
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: him up. He still wasn't really ready, wasn't really stretched out,

381
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: and then he just left Sunday's game. We know, we're

382
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: getting the reports that he had an MRI after leaving

383
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Sunday's outing early because of an adductor issue. So it's

384
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: like he was a big sign obviously going to get

385
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, wanted a lot of money. I thought it

386
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: was a good signing for the Giants at the time,

387
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: but you know, again, I was not certain about the

388
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: depth of our pitching staff and if we were going

389
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: to be okay, but think about had we gotten Blake Snell,

390
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: that would have been a bummer. It had the same obviously,

391
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: had the same exact things happened to him in a

392
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: Dodger uniform as are happening with him in a Giant's uniform.

393
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you don't wish injuries on anybody. Is

394
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 3: a two time cy Young Award winner and it's real,

395
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: real easy again with the benefit of hindsight saying, it's

396
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: a good thing they didn't get him at this point

397
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: because he would have been injuried injured, or maybe he wouldn't.

398
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 5: Have been maybe if he signed earlier.

399
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, don't they need to fix to make this

400
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: an entirely different question or whatever they need to fix,

401
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: like the offseason needed to fix the signing. The teams

402
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: that don't want to spend money need to start spending

403
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: some damn money, because it's damn shame that we're in

404
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: this situation with Blake Snell coming off they Young Award,

405
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: where he should have had a job much earlier.

406
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: But the Giant, Yes, but the Giants did try to

407
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: spend money.

408
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean they tried to get Judge and by the way,

409
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: the nice job Yankee's kicking the shit out of the

410
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: Giants all weekend at Oracle Park, including yesterday's come from

411
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: behind game. Yeah, Danny Cortez says that she's happy that

412
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: they did not land Snow I hear you, you know,

413
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: and again, I don't want to I don't want to

414
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: wish injury on anybody, but it's crazy. Justin says should

415
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: have taken the Yankees off. You know, it's you know,

416
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: the Yankees took care of business against the Giants this weekend,

417
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge even said, hey, it was close.

418
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: It was close.

419
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the numbers were pretty close, and ultimately we

420
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: decided to go back to New York. There wasn't a

421
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: chance in hell Aeron Judge wasn't going to go back

422
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: to New York. I mean, there's no way. But the

423
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Giants did try to spend money. They just you know,

424
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: I didn't. You know, Chapman is not working out the

425
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: same way that I would have thought that Chapman would

426
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: have been doing.

427
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they've been decimated by injuries.

428
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 5: I get it.

429
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: But so nobody's gonna feel sorry for the San Francisco Giants.

430
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: Let alone a Dodger.

431
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: Fan, But doesn't Gavin Stone make it a little bit

432
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: easier and saying, hey, it's okay that we don't have

433
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Blake Snell.

434
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: Giving giving my time to give my flowers to Gavin Stone.

435
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: I've said it a number of times across the internet

436
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 3: here over the last couple of months. This is arguably

437
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: the most important pitcher on the Dodger staff. How how

438
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: much he's grown over uh well really over the end

439
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: of his last season to the point he is now.

440
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: I think at this point we're we're talking about minimum

441
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: All star birth for it because he has been really

442
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: fucking good at his job. To borrow from Grandma, I

443
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: don't know, it's just it's fun watching him, and yeah,

444
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: it does make it a lot easier to swallow not

445
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: getting somebody like, you know, a guy coming off of

446
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 3: a cy Young Award last year, when you have somebody

447
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: who figured it out, put together all the pieces, put

448
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 3: in the work and is reaping the benefits of it

449
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 3: for it. Gavin Stone very very important and fun figure

450
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 3: in this Dodgers pitching staff.

451
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: Man, if you were to go on a date with

452
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: Gavin Stone or Miguel Rojas, who are you going to choose.

453
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 5: I don't know what.

454
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know who you're going to take right now?

455
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: This is crazy. You got this crush on Stony and

456
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: Miggy Rowe.

457
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: I will always choose Russell Martin. That's that's that's what

458
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm love me some Russell Martin.

459
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: But number choosing at number fifty five of us not

460
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: a bulldog, not Joe Blanton.

461
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: Number fifty five. That's your number fifty five. All right.

462
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though, going back to Blake

463
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Snell for just a hot second, not to take anything

464
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: away from him obviously as a two time say Young

465
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: Award winner, one in each league, but if you look

466
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: at the other years Clint in which he did not

467
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: win the cy Young again and impressive doing that best

468
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: picture in the league that in that year. If you

469
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: look at the other years, though, very unimpressive. So it's

470
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: been a it's quite an interesting dynamic with Blake Snell.

471
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 2: He's either really good or he's super mediocre.

472
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 3: It's fun to think about good he could have been

473
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: with this Dodgers pitching you know staff or the coaching staff,

474
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: because they turn everything, just about everything very very good,

475
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: including friend of the Show Mark Pryor but yeah, Blake Snell,

476
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: get better.

477
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 5: That's all I got.

478
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: Well, we hope you feel better, Blake. No, truly, I

479
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: hate I don't want to see.

480
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: Oh this is by the way, I need to say

481
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: this and this and this is true. So when Ronald

482
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: Acunya Junior went down, I had a Dodger fan, did

483
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: I say this already? A Dodger fan DM me on

484
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: Instagram that said good, it opens up the way for

485
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman or Mookie Betts to win the MVP.

486
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: That is a garbage take.

487
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: I never want one of our guys to win an

488
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: MVP award or any award because one of the best

489
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: players in the game, the national legreening MVP got hurt.

490
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: That's it.

491
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: Be better, Dodger fans, be better, be better fans, period.

492
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to come because of an you know,

493
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: at the expense of an injury to a really good player.

494
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: All right, timed out for last licks, My friend, Where

495
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: was I during this whole.

496
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: Situation with the Dodger dog at the park?

497
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, really, if there's one place Alana Rizzo should

498
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: have been, I'm talking about myself in the third person,

499
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: like Ricky Henderson, it's.

500
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Here we're missing you in that scene. Look, there there

501
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: are two. We could have had two iconic Alana Rizzo

502
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: scenes in the outfield, and that is of course.

503
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: You and Omar used home run.

504
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: It happened, and then you could have been out there

505
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: with all of those good boys, including this dog, which

506
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: that is an adorable hut.

507
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: It's a dog and a dog. It's like a Dodger dog,

508
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: but it's literally a dog.

509
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so cute. So I love barking the

510
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: park as long as it's decent weather. They're not you know,

511
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: suffocating of heat exhaustion, and they have water, so good

512
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: job Los Angeles Daughters. All right, last licks for Guidry's

513
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: Guardian Foundation. This is Bernadette and there is a remember Boogie.

514
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: I introduced you to Boogie, who was astray that got

515
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: dumped in a South LA lawn at night while she

516
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: was pregnant. And she had seven puppies and we named

517
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: them after the Big Bang Theory cast.

518
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 2: So this is Bernadette.

519
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: So there's there's Bernadette, Penny, Amy, Sheldon Leonard, doctor Beverly Pria. Beautiful,

520
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: beautiful pups. They all need adopters. They will be available

521
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: for adoption. Mid July, they're still with mama. There's still

522
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, nursing off of mama. So please, if you're

Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. So, Alana, we've just passed the

531
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 3: sixty game mark here for your Los Angeles Dodgers sixty

532
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: one games played. Any any surprises for you from this

533
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 3: team so far?

534
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 5: You think big.

535
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: The biggest surprise for me is that it's the same

536
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: issue that we felt all season long, that just the

537
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: bottom of the order makes me nervous.

538
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: It really does.

539
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: The bottom of the order makes me nervous. And I

540
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: still think we need a back end of the bullpen piece.

541
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm still welcome. I'm happy to welcome Kenley Jensen back.

542
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: We've discussed that before. If Boston in fact becomes a

543
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: seller at the deadline, which I think they will be.

544
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean that concerns me. I think right now it's

545
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: just status quo. I mean, there's still there's still win

546
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: in the division. There's no it's easy to, you know, want.

547
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: To poke a hole.

548
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: It's like easy to want to poke a hole in

549
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: the Phillies, And what are you going to poke a

550
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: hole with?

551
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: With the Phillies.

552
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: The fact that Taiwan Walker is not great, and maybe

553
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: Spencer Turnbull should not be in the bullpen.

554
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 5: I don't know.

555
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: When your team is as good as the Dodgers is

556
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: or as good as the Phillies are, it's hard to

557
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: point fingers, but bottom part of the order it's got

558
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: to step up.

559
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: What about you?

560
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can't not point out that bottom

561
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: part of the order. I think there was a lot

562
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: of hope and expectations for guys like Gavin Lux entering

563
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: this season. James Outman being sent back down. I think

564
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: it was was really unexpected for this team, the fact

565
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: that we reached this point where they don't they don't

566
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: really have a good outfield.

567
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 5: They do not have a good outfield.

568
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: The numbers say it's it's arguably, well, it's not arguably.

569
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 3: The number say it's the fifth worth out I think

570
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: it's fifth worst outfield in baseball, at least it was

571
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: in the month of May. They need some help, They

572
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 3: need some offense there. You know, we talked about, you know,

573
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: maybe adding a shortstop or whatever you had mentioned, maybe

574
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: moving Mookie Betts back into the outfield.

575
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: I'm I'm less that.

576
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: I think Mookie Bets is fine as a second baseman

577
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: playing some shortstop during the regular season, as long as

578
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: Michel Rojas.

579
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 5: Is that shortstop come playoff time.

580
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: But they need outfield help, and that was something I

581
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 3: was not expecting this drastically, how bad the outfield has

582
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: been outside of Tascar Hernandez, and it all combines with

583
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: the bottom of the lineup too.

584
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: It's funny because I was on ESPNLA with Mason and

585
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: Ireland the other day and they brought up the fact

586
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: that we talked about Francisco Lindor and Harrison Vader.

587
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: They're like, I heard you said you wanted for instance.

588
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, no, no, don't put me

589
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: on that train. I said, that's my partner, Clint Piscias.

590
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: That was talking about the fact what if they got

591
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor and Harrison Vader, and then I got reamed

592
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: a new one because I said, maybe you should put

593
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: Mooki back in right field and admit that you made

594
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: a mistake. So I'm having a lot of fans now

595
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: in LA like, what the hell is this chick talking about?

596
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 2: All right?

597
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: D Max number one fan, No One, Kenley, I don't

598
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: want a heart attack, Oh demon, Remember what the man

599
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: did for you in a Dodger uniform. My goodness, what

600
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? Don't forget about everything that he

601
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: was able to do.

602
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 5: I'll agree. I'm very much a no on the camp train.

603
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 5: Why I think? I think they have enough pitching as

604
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 5: it is.

605
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: You just saw for the first time all season they

606
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: got the band together that they thought they were gonna

607
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: have with Danny Hudson, with Blake Trinon, who is absolutely

608
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 3: disgusting front of the show, and also Evan Phillips locking

609
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 3: down the door, make six inning games. You have enough

610
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: weaponry there. Alex Vesia is so damn good at his job.

611
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: Something I never thought. There's another big surprise, and I

612
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: talked about it last on my last stream on Thursday

613
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: Thursday Thursday Stream. That's my biggest surprise, Like everybody was

614
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: clowning on Alex Vessia and he has been a beast.

615
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: And this is a team that's still gonna hopefully knock

616
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: on desk here, get back Joe Kelly, maybe a Ryan Brazier.

617
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: I don't have any hope in the world to see

618
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: Bruce dear graderol back this season at this point because

619
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: it's just but they still have all that aside. They

620
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: have a very good bullpen as it is, and Kenley Jansen,

621
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 3: you know, don't get back together with you.

622
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,280
