1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: I think everything that happened in the regular season, it

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: was agonizing at times, was frustrating at times for fans,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: and I think the Dodgers are being rewarded for their

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: discipline in that regard. Now the biggest time of the year.

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: What's everybody, and hello, Welcome to Dodgers Territory presented by

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: I'm bummed that the Dodgers aren't playing tonight, but I

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: am not bummed that the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: and are heading back to the World Series. I'm Alana Rizzo.

10

Speaker 3: Guys.

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: The Dodgers' Territory shop has been opened for quite some time.

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Clint lots to talk about. Let's get into the big ticket.

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: All right. Nine and one so far this postseason. I'd

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: say the Dodgers can't lose, but they did lose one game.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: But I tell you what, they've looked really good. This

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: team is playing well, they're playing together, and they're doing

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: it at all the right time.

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a fun postseason to watch.

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 4: Not a whole lot of stress. I mean stress still

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 4: could be ahead for us a World series. Don't know

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: who we're gonna be playing just yet, but seeing the

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: way this organization kind of took it to the brew Crew,

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: the team that had the most wins in baseball this year,

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: the team that went six and zero against the Dodgers

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: this during the regular season, I feel pretty confident that

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: the Dodgers can continue striding and playing a very good

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: brand of baseball. What are you feeling right now? And

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: the kind of calm before the calm before the storm.

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: My thing is, and I said this the other day

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: a couple of different times in a couple of different areas,

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: the regular season record doesn't mean squat Clint to cis

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: threason I say that, as some people were a little nervous,

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: as a guess that they should be. If you're looking

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: based on the numbers only. The Dodgers did not play

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: well against the Milwaukee Brewers over the course of the

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: regular season. In fact, they were undefeated. Those Brewers were

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: against the Dodgers six and oh. But we didn't have

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: our entire compliment, our entire starting rotation. Guys were hurt,

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: guys were on the il, some guys weren't super productive

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: at that time. But now when it matters, remember, guys,

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are built for October. They're not built for

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: random series in March or June or July or even August.

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 2: They're built for October. So that was the Dodgers. Then

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 2: this is the Dodgers now. And I feel so confident

53
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: in saying that there's no way in the world in

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: my estimation, that the Dodgers don't repeat, regardless of whether

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: it is the Toronto Blue Jays, whether is the Seattle Mariners,

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: no disrespect to those clubs. Will ask Steven Nelson coming up,

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 2: you know who he thinks the Dodgers are better served against.

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him about that. But let's talk about

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: some of the standouts so far. Clint. Obviously, let's start

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: with the NLCS MVP Show Heyotani.

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: What a guy.

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: Here's a that's a pretty good week he had in

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: that one game there. Of course you were away, so

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: we got to celebrate the show Heyo Tani game, as

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: we're calling it, first first player to hit a leadoff

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: homer at a game first or our first pitcher to

67
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: hit a leadoff homer, an MLB history, multi homer game

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: by a pitcher. Three homers, ten strikeouts, hit the crap

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: out of the ball, very hard hits with one hundred

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: and sixteen mile an hour plus on the fastball.

71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: Just well.

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: Stephen Nelson said, it's stuff of legend what you saw

73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 4: out of show Heyo Tani. That's one guy obviously, show

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: Hey TONI we know is somebody who could put a

75
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: team on his.

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: Back, which he did part of that NB three.

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: But one of the things I really like, if we're

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 4: talking about standout so far this postseason and in that series,

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: kind of keep the line moving sort of, dudes, Tommy Edmund,

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: Will Smith, kek Hernandez having themselves very nice postseasons. With

81
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: Will Smith, you see there I kind of cherry picked

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: throwing up just the NLCS stats, but if you look

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: at those stats, breaking four hundred with an eight to

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: seventy one ops is very very good. Tommy Edmund two

85
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 4: eighty six over the postseason, but more importantly three point

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: thirty three with an eight sixty ops and five of

87
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: those six RBI since I called him out a couple

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 4: weeks ago or a week ago saying, hey, you know what,

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: I would love to see Tommy Edmund really really get going,

90
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: So thank you for listening to the show, Tommy Edmund.

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: And then back to that graphic there, Keith a Hernandez,

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: I'm calling.

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: Him the facilitator of this postseason alone.

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: His three runs, four rounds batted in, getting the walks,

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: he's getting his hits, he's getting big doubles that are

96
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: helping this ball club out as well. And another cool

97
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: thing with Keith Aaron it is your friend, not my friend.

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: I like you, but we're not friends about He's said

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 4: to pass another Dodger legend, Justin Turner on the all

100
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 4: time games played list in Dodgers franchise history, which is

101
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 4: absurd thoughts.

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: On third and it's it's absurd and it's a beautiful thing.

103
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I've seen the we all have

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: witness the transformation. That is key, key Hernandez, and apart

105
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: from Chase Utley, key K has said publicly that JT

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: is probably the second most influential teammate and friend and

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: mentor and leader and geiter geyer of all of the

108
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: teammates that he's ever had. I mean, Chase Utley obviously

109
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: has a massive influence on key K. Changed his diet,

110
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: changed his style, changed a lot of things about the

111
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: way that Kik went about his business. But JT has

112
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: always been a player coach. I would not be surprised

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: one iota if Justin Turner ended up, you know, if

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: he's going to retire or whatever, ends up in the

115
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: Dodgers system in some capacity coaching and then eventually managing.

116
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: And to see key K get that emotional when he

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: was asked about this, you know, and the fact of

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: being able to tie Justin Turner for most postseason games played,

119
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: he could surpass him in terms of most postseason games played.

120
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: And Kik went from a guy that obviously is a

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: heck of a personality, right, He's a big personality, banana

122
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: suit guy. But Andrew Friedman at the beginning of the season,

123
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: Clint told you and I on an exclusive interview that

124
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: we had with him that he has become such an

125
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: unbelievable leader. And Andrew would not have thought at the

126
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: time that Kik was going to go from being that

127
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: banana suit guy in the plane dancing with Jat and

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: Jack Peterson to a guy that was such an unbelievable

129
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: influence and such an unbelievable leader. And again, we talk

130
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: about it at nauseum what Kei Key Hernandez does in

131
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: the postseason, he just takes it to another level. His game,

132
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: his attitude, all of the things. But Kiky has meant

133
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount to this club over the course of

134
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: the time that he's been And I can't even think

135
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: about Kik in any other uniform, Houston Astro's, you know whatever.

136
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: I always think of Kik as as a Dodger, and

137
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: I really he was one of the people I said

138
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: we absolutely have to bring back right the Hernandez brothers

139
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: when we were coming into the season. K k means

140
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 2: a lot to this club, and he means a lot

141
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: to what's going on in October. Make no mistake about it.

142
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: He's a huge reason the Dodgers are in the position

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: that they're in again.

144
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: You know, we we've talked a lot about the whole

145
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: idea of flipping a switch. Keyk is flipping a switch

146
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: incarnate right there. The calendar gets late into the season,

147
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: you get into the September.

148
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a dude.

149
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: He when we spoke to Keik, I think at shortly

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: after he re signed late this, you know, before the

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: spring training he had mentioned into last year, you know,

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: he wasn't one hundred percent certain he was going to

153
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: be around. The numbers were bad, they were kind of

154
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: worse this year. You know, there wasn't the glasses savior

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: for him this time around. But uh, at this point,

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: the Dodgers understand the formula. Just wait, get to October.

157
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: Kik will figure it out. October will work its magic

158
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: and become key O Toober for us. You know, shout out,

159
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: shout out to Michael CONFORDO for for essentially.

160
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: Being the the uh uh well.

161
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: Placeholder for Kek a Hernandez and finally getting his uh

162
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: you know, eventually getting his his starting spot in the lineup.

163
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: It's going to be left field. It's gonna be left

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: field moving forward, and the next time you see him

165
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: out there, he will be tying the great Justin Turner

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: on that all time games played list, it is.

167
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: It is pretty cool.

168
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: Now.

169
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: The team doesn't run and live and die through key

170
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: K Hernandez, but my guy, the facilitator making a big

171
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 4: difference for this ball club.

172
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: I think they I think they die by bye without

173
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: having him. I don't think the Dodgers are where they're

174
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: at without I mean, is he is he the end

175
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: all be all? No, But if he's not in that lineup,

176
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers aren't where they are. I mean Kyk, And

177
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: I've said this before one thousand times. Ke K could

178
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: go oh for the regular season and I could not

179
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: care less, but I want him on my postseason roster.

180
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: No one's thinking Canford for any ns. Yeah, you know,

181
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: I just K is a difference maker. He is exactly

182
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: what this team needs in October and again, there are

183
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: some guys that just get kind of a little bit

184
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: bored in the regular season. Key K, sometimes Tao, sometimes

185
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 2: Nick Costeanos with the Philadelphia Phillies, who's probably not a

186
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: Philly next year. But there are guys it's tough to

187
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: turn it out. There are very few Freddie Freeman's like

188
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: you know, take your lunch pale to the park every

189
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: single day, head down, don't say anything, Do do do

190
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: do do type of guys. You know, but it takes

191
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: all kinds and Keyk's is super special. Steven Nelson is

192
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: going to join us momentarily, Clint. Before we do that,

Speaker 2: hear him on AM five seventy calling the games with

00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: our friend Rick Monday and Dwayne McDonald. Tremendous radio engineer.

221
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: Steven good to be with you. What is your takeaway

222
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: so far, sir, for this Dodgers postseason thus far.

223
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond got snubbed for NLCS MVP. Don't know how

224
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: you could have given it This o Tahani guy does

225
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: one good game and everybody loses their mind. No, if

226
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I were to answer that, sincerely, I would you know,

227
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: you have to start with the starting pitching. I think

228
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: everything that happened in the regular season was it was

229
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: agonizing at times, especially for those guys who weren't able

230
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: to pitch for most of the regular season. It was

231
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: frustrating at times for fans to feel like, Ah, why

232
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: are they not kind of taking the reins off of show, Hey,

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: letting them go. We're in a dogfight for the division,

234
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: like let him go. And I think the Dodgers are

235
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: being rewarded for their discipline in that regard now the

236
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: biggest time of the year, to get the performances that

237
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: they got in that series in succession. Of course, it's

238
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: not what the White Sox did in two thousand and five,

239
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: four straight complete games to close out that ALCS to

240
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: game the Angels. But for for Snell ya I'm a

241
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: glass now and then Otani to kind of just pass

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: the torch to one another and all handle business in

243
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: their respective fashions in their own ways. I think that

244
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: they have to take the kick for what's stood so

245
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: far in this postseason.

246
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny. I wanted to bring up the starting

247
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: rotation in its own way. Uh, the real secret weapon

248
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 4: for the Dodgers. October is the worst kept secret in baseball.

249
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: Ten starts one for e r A sixty four and

250
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 4: a third innings pitched for that that unit there, and

251
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 4: one complete game. Nellie, we hear the Dodgers.

252
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Are should have been too. I think Doc would tell

253
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: you should have been too. Yeah, I mean.

254
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: We'll give him, We'll give him a bit of a yeah,

255
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: give pass, give him a pass. He's pretty good at

256
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: his job as well. Uh, but yeah, I mean the

257
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: Dodgers are ruining baseball. If this is ruining baseball, I

258
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: love it. I very much enjoy it. Uh seeing guys

259
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 4: go out there and it's old school baseball, throw a

260
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: bunch of you know, high paid, elite talent on the bump,

261
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: and it just makes your job that much easier. More

262
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 4: thoughts about how good this rotation has been.

263
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you brought up the ruining baseball thing,

264
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: and I personally love what Doc said on the stage,

265
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: just kind of you know, calling out the narrative that

266
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: in the room with the team throughout the year and

267
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: what you have seen before that and since then. It's

268
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: just really a lot of projection. It's just a lot

269
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: of misdirected emotions. You know, people don't know how to

270
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,119
Speaker 1: properly process the business of sport, the business of baseball,

271
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: And I go back to what Bryce Harper said, like

272
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: only losers complain about what the dodge you're doing. And

273
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: then Harp's teammate j t ru Muto even double down

274
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: on it. They are what major League Baseball should be.

275
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Ahillies with the Middletons, that's exactly how

276
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: a major league team should operate. And you people could

277
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: make fun of the Mets and they're collapsed out of

278
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: the postseason this year, but the way Steve Cohen has

279
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: run things since he's taken over, that's how it should

280
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: be done. And there's that graphic that everybody could see

281
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: out there. It's like the amount of profit that is

282
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: at least the information that's publicly made available profit for

283
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: each franchise, and then the amount of said profit that

284
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: is re distributed into the team, into the organization, into

285
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: acquiring talent, in a player development, into you know, diet,

286
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: anything that is going to elevate your on field product.

287
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: The best teams, the best organizations do that, and instead

288
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: of getting mad at the why do I look at them?

289
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Of that graphic, I think that's kind of that would

290
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: be my somull instruction. Anybody who again is struggling with

291
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: their emotions. It's really just because they're frustrated because they

292
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: their fair team or their favorite organization, whatever sport, they're

293
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: not doing that. So I think that's how I would

294
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: like to address that question. I'm gonna be honest with you.

295
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Forgot the second half of your question. Cut check, I'll

296
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: ask you.

297
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: I'll ask you this question. Talk about those Phillies, Steven,

298
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: because you mentioned Bryce Harper, you mentioned Kyle Schwaba, you

299
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: mentioned the way that the Middletons run their franchise. Now,

300
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: was that the biggest test in your estimation for the

301
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: Dodgers this postseason? To me, that felt I realized, you

302
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: can have two WINL teams and the World Series people,

303
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: but to me, that felt more like a World Series

304
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: matchup than whomever the Dodgers are going to face.

305
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I just spot on. I totally agree

306
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: with you. And this isn't even like a hindsight thought.

307
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: And this discussion is being had with respect to the Brewers.

308
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Brewers had a magical year most wins in

309
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, and they earned it like it wasn't

310
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: just like some fluke. Going back to late May, from

311
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: that point for May eighteenth on best offense in base

312
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: best pitching staff in baseball. Not a fluke. They just

313
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: went ice cold at the wrong time. But going into

314
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: the Division Series, we were in Philadelphia, it was everyone's

315
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: looking around, It's like, this is kind of like twenty

316
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: twenty four against San Diego, where it feels like this

317
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: series is going to determine the World Series, at least

318
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: the National League. Pennant, I think you felt confident whoever

319
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: was going to win, the Dodgers or the Phils, was

320
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: going to have a really good shot to get by

321
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: whoever came out of the other side of the bracket,

322
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: whether it was the Cubs or the Brewers, and ultimately

323
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: was the Brewers. So it definitely had twenty twenty four

324
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: vibes in that way as we were watching those games.

325
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: It was definitely a lot closer than that three to

326
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: one series, you know you could. I think that much

327
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: is evident. It's not a hot take. And the only

328
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: shame of that matchup is that it wasn't a best

329
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: of seven because those were the two heavyweights in the

330
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: National League in the postseason. Still, so the fact that

331
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were able to overcome that they're not going

332
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: to see left handed pitching like that the rest of

333
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: the way. You know, Milwaukee included in that. Just that

334
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: was perspective, you know going through the DS. Uh, you're

335
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: not going to face the Sanchez Lozardo in forest in succession. Again,

336
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. So hopefully there there's an exhale

337
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: from number seventeen in that regard. He's not going to

338
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: see that sort of nastyis from the left side. But yeah,

339
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: now that they kind of climb that mountain, they're gonna

340
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean they're gonna win it all. It doesn't

341
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: guarantee anything, but I think it certainly adds to the

342
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: to the confidence that group already has in the clubhouse.

343
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a couple of good options obviously for the

344
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: Dodgers to be facing starting on Friday. Seattle Mariners Toronto

345
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: Blue Jays. Both have their strengths, both have their weaknesses.

346
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: If your you guys had that have you guys had

347
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: that talk already? Who who would you rather?

348
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: H No, We're gonna put it on you.

349
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Oh you put on me. Thanks.

350
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: We can have a dialogue, all of us will have

351
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 4: a dialogue right here. I mean, personally, I like the

352
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 4: team staying on the West Coast. I think that's a

353
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 4: little bit better. They're they're they're the home they get

354
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: home field advantage. If they're playing the Mariners, they're they're

355
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 4: you know, there's that strength there. But they also got

356
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 4: very good starting pitching. Blue Jays got a ton of

357
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: slug Maybe don't have the starting pitching. I again, I

358
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: leen Mariners. I don't know which way Alana Lean's Nelly,

359
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 4: where do you lean?

360
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: It's yeah, honestly, you could spin it any which way

361
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: you want. If I'm the Dodgers, whatever team gives me

362
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: homefield advantage, that would be Seattle. But that that like,

363
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: that's how I would split that hair, because I really

364
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: do think that you could say, would you rather face

365
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: George Kirby, Logan Gilbert Luis Castillo eighty percent? Probably that's

366
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: maybe a little too much. Seventy percent, Brian wu and

367
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: then Bryce Miller, who's kind of gotten things rolling back

368
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: to the way he looked a year ago, like that,

369
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: those like those are those are some dudes right there.

370
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: And on the other side for Toronto, it's Kevin Gossman

371
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: and the nasty rookie name You're savage and that's it

372
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: because you know, and with respective trade because you know,

373
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: like what his prospect profile is and he's a first

374
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: round pick. And Trey he's handled the big stage up

375
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: to this point, but he's got six starts under his belt,

376
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: right like it, so to me that kind of matters.

377
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: Barrios isn't healthy, Bassett isn't healthy. Sures have just had

378
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: a really good one the other day relative to this year,

379
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: but he's not the old Mad Max. The Dodgers swept Seattle,

380
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: they took two out of three from Toronto, should have

381
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: swept Toronto in the regular season. Ultimately, I'm all that

382
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: to say one team has Vladimir Gerro Junior and the

383
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: other team does and facing Vladimir Gerro Junior without home

384
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: field advantage, like so those are the Those are the

385
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: two kickers for me. Again, you could spin it either

386
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: which way you want, and I would and I would

387
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: agree with you. Sure that makes sense, but I would

388
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers have home field advantage and I would

389
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: prefer to not face Vladimirgero Jr.

390
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson, I don't see a world in which the

391
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: Dodgers do not repeat as World Series champions, regardless if

392
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: they play the Mariners and no disrespect to either club.

393
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: I just think the Dodgers are better. I think their

394
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 2: starting staff is better. I think their lineup is better.

395
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 2: Their bullpen gives me pause. But so far that hasn't

396
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: been a major need because the starters have been tremendous.

397
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: What a homer.

398
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: The Dodgers win the World Series if and the Dodgers

399
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: lose the World Series if please complete those sentences.

400
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: I'm awful at that game, I really am. The Dodgers

401
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: win the World Series if again, rocket science, the starters

402
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: can do eighty five percent of what we saw in

403
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: the LCS. Because don't I mean to ask them to

404
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: repeat that they can do it. They can do it,

405
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: but that's in the repeat that is probably maybe a

406
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: little aggressive and greedy, because I just think, you know,

407
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: this time of year, you know you could you could

408
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: have a red hot lineup and a talented lineup as

409
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: we saw in the last two series, especially in the LCS,

410
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: but even the Division Series because the more star power

411
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: for the Phillies, the pitching will will be hitting at

412
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: this time of year. So I really it's on the

413
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: it's on the horses. You know. The Dodgers have wrote

414
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: them this far and they want to ride them to

415
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: the fish line. So that's if they that's how they

416
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: win the World Series. Uh, they lose the World Series.

417
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: If I could be easy to say, if that doesn't happen,

418
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I'll try and give you something else. Here's the thing,

419
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: like they they have only lost one game this postseason.

420
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: They are, you know, four wins away from a World Series.

421
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: And I mean outside like the first two games of

422
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: the wild Card and maybe like one and a half

423
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: games to start the Division Series, the offense has just

424
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: been sort of okay. It's been okay, so you know,

425
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: I would you would like to see more of that.

426
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: And Dave Roberts was asked about that before. I forget

427
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: which game. He's like, I execution with runners and score

428
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: and position and you know, moving guys over and and

429
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: doing those things like that, and he's doctor Greens like,

430
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: we got to be better. So you know, if if

431
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: the offense, I think, because again you cannot just bet

432
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: on the rotation doing that again, if you know they

433
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: don't get some more help from the offense, then maybe

434
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: maybe that that prevents them from going back to back again.

435
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at that game. I own that.

436
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 4: I own that, you know what, And The one thing

437
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: that will help the Dodgers offense be better is not

438
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: facing you know, Christopher Sanchez or Hissus Lozardo or I mean.

439
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: Right right, and you look at you know, Seattle had

440
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: no lefty starters, and the Dodgers just you know, they

441
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: just saw you know, the left handers the last weekend

442
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: of the regular season. I get that those games didn't

443
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: matter for either club, but they got to peak at

444
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: all of them, right, and including old friend Caleb Ferguson.

445
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: And then for for the Blue Jays it's Eric Lower,

446
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: veteran lefty. The Dodgers have seen a Ton Brennan little

447
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: and then Mason Flew Hardy. I might be forgetting one

448
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: justin Brule, another friend of the another old friend. So again,

449
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: all those guys major league pitchers, they've they're talented guys.

450
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: Gabe Spire the Mariners, I think is comfortably the best

451
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: one of all of them. But he's only one guy.

452
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: So in a seven game series, you're gonna get a

453
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: few peaks at him. Yeah, I just there's no there's

454
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: none of those guys that you compared to on these

455
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: two teams. So you know, doesn't guarantee anything, but it

456
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: should make you feel better. It should make you feel

457
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: better about the World Series going into it. The rest

458
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: versus rustooed like, I'm like, already, I'm preemptively exhausted with

459
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be everywhere all day for the next

460
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: five days until we actually.

461
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 2: See the game, and especially if they lose Game one,

462
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: they're gonna be like, oh the layoff.

463
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: Was Yeah, Hey, been there, done that.

464
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 4: Though they did that last year, They've they've figured it out.

465
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: They have figured out the rest part of it.

466
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: There is no rust.

467
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 4: These boys are hanging out, having a good time, getting

468
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 4: ready to play whoever, either to fly out to Toronto

469
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 4: or stay home and welcome the Mariners. Steven, we got

470
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,800

Speaker 3: Say that, if I messed that one up for.

473
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 4: Us, yeah, you mentioned the Dodgers win if the starting

474
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 4: rotation does its thing. But somebody who is very much

475
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 4: snuck up on the baseball world. Here is the the

476
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 4: new reinvigorated Rokie and his one one, three e r

477
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: A five games finished. The dude has been elite, and

478
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 4: it feels like a lot of the league doesn't really

479
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 4: know what the hell to do with this guy. What's

480
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 4: your kind of vantage point of of the the honest, true,

481
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 4: not so secret weapon now in in Rokie.

482
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I saw I saw Willie Benson's interview on

483
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: foul Territory yesterday. It was a couple of days ago,

484
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, I'd only seen him on

485
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: video and never faced them, you know, my god, something

486
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: like that, you know. And yeah, it's a huge, huge

487
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: shout out to Todoki Sasaki for for again just kind

488
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: of ascending from the ashes out of this year. You know,

489
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: this was this was gonna be a lost rookie season,

490
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: and we were everyone was going to spin it as

491
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: all right, like took his lumps year one, like that

492
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: was his welcome to the big leagues. Just got punched

493
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: in the mouth and you know, just kind of had

494
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: to figure everything out, be humbled, YadA like, and everyone

495
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: was just can like I think resigned to that fact.

496
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: So for him to be in this spot now closing

497
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: postseason games after what we saw at the start of

498
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: the year, it's truly incredible and it's a huge testament

499
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: to his work ethic. The Dodgers staff in Glendale, you know,

500
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: Rob hill On down the whole pitching development side, everybody

501
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: in OKAC and of course Mark kind of Guinness and

502
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: the ethnic training staff to Dodger just to kind of

503
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: rebuild him, you know, mentally an emotion more than anything physically.

504
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Obviously the downtime's can to help him heal up, but uh,

505
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: to get his mechanics back. And then now to talk

506
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: more baseball as a post like the emotions, you know, well,

507
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: we saw him Milwaukee Game one. That was the first

508
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: time where it was like, okay, the game is sped

509
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: up on him, right and the moment has kind of

510
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: getting to him here. And when the game speeds up

511
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: on you, the mechanics can fall out away. You could

512
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: be thrown against air in Glendale, Arizona, and you could

513
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: be SYNCD up in dott In one oh one all

514
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: you want. It's not the NLCS and on the road

515
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: and the time run at the plate, like you can't

516
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: simulate that. And so for him to kind of endure

517
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: that Blake trying to pick him up and then bounce

518
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: back like another huge you know feather in his cap,

519
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: notch and his belt in this new role. So yeah,

520
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: it has totally changed the game for the Dodgers, for

521
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and his trust tree in that bullpen, and

522
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: really the rest of the staff moving forward. I think,

523
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: you know, having Rokie pitch, how he's pitching to have

524
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: Vesia and Anthony Bonda has really come on strong. Now

525
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: the starters they don't have that in the back of

526
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: the mind's like, I might have to go like eighth

527
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: shuddy for us to have a chance today, you know, Like,

528
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that's that's another part of it that I

529
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, tend to think about too, is just how

530
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: one guy's success or a couple of guys' success can

531
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: help alleviate mental pressure on other guys. So I think

532
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: that's massive. And then you know, we have I know

533
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: we've kind of buried the lead here, bring them up,

534
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: but oti to have that game in Game four, that

535
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: should be a massive exhale for him because throughout this postseason, guys,

536
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: you were watching the Abs, they were not show hey

537
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Otani Abs. He was trying to make up for the

538
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: two for twenty two, two for twenty three, two for

539
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: twenty four, two for twenty five kept creeping up and up,

540
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: it up, and he was trying to it seven run

541
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: homers every time at the play. And so now it's like, Okay,

542
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: I did that help us clinch a pennant? Now we go,

543
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: So that's the hope.

544
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: What was it like for you, Stephen calling that game.

545
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm watching you and you're more of of the entertainment

546
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: than the damn game is when you're calling it in

547
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: the book with Rick Monday and you're so animated, and

548
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: first of all, it's the game of legend, right, I

549
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: mean that that game was unbelievable, the stuff of legend

550
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: from Sho Heeo Tani on the mound as well as

551
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: in the box. But what is it like for you

552
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: as a broadcaster, especially on the radio, when you're really

553
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: trying to paint a picture and describe what's going on,

554
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: to do your job, but also to be as excited

555
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: as you are as a fan when you're witnessing this,

556
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: this unbelievable game unfold.

557
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it has become My favorite part of

558
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: those videos is just the juxtaposition of my my insanity

559
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: and then that's I mean me and Mo. It's Yin

560
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: and Yang, right, because Mo has seen and done everything

561
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: that there is to see and do in the game

562
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: of baseball. There is nothing that has that man flustered

563
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: for me, it does not take much.

564
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: He's just getting the sponsorship cards.

565
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Daniels Jueler's Daniel Jeelers, Like that's it. Like I

566
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: could see that out of my peripheral So if I'm like,

567
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, trying to if I'm struggling to read the ballflight,

568
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: but I see Mo twisting his torso and getting an

569
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: oblique workout in, then I know it's probably going. But

570
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: it's become like, you know, it's still fans who who

571
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: don't they're not used to seeing MO during a game.

572
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, my gosh, does Rick Monday even care? Gosh,

573
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: does Mo actually hate your guts? Gosh? Does anything get

574
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: MO excited? Like if people it's like the game has

575
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: become secondary to just watching Moe's reactions. So I've really

576
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. As for that game specifically, Alana, I think

577
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: you saw you saw it, which with each home run

578
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: like us losing our collective minds. We were so dumb

579
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: struck as that evening was playing out, like striking out

580
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: three in the top of the first leadoff home run,

581
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: like that's that's an all time game right there, you

582
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he could have not struck

583
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: out another battery, could have not hit another home run,

584
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: and we still would have been talking about that for forever.

585
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: To then go kind of six plus shutty just two hits,

586
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, three walks. He had a lot of full

587
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: counts that elevated the pitch cow but he still punched

588
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: out ten. And then they hit three mammoth home runs,

589
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: not wall scrapers, right three quarters the way up the

590
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: right field pavilion next to the bullpen. That's a shot,

591
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: hit it over the roof, which we couldn't quite see

592
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: from our vantage point in the moment, like that's my

593
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: I really did not like my call on the second one.

594
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: It definitely it was an extraordinary home run, and I

595
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: felt like my call was kind of ordinary. But that's

596
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: just you know, you guys know me. I'm like, I

597
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: hate myself, and then the it's true, I'm just being

598
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: on it. And then the third home run like McGill

599
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: ninety nine inside corner where you know, inner third wasn't

600
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: like perfectly off the inside corner where the Phillies were

601
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: just pounding him in during the Division series. For him

602
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: to go left center with like I mean, and that

603
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: was more of a bullet like those were none of

604
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: those were cheapies, so you know, you put all that

605
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: combined to win a pennant. You know, I think it

606
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: was I want to get it right. I think it

607
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: was Chelsea James who tweeted it the greatest player to

608
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: ever play the game, just played the greatest game that's

609
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: ever been played, something like that. Again, I hope it was.

610
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: I hope. I guess paraphrase think a bit at the

611
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: end of the day, but that was spot on. The

612
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: only person who can top that unless an alien. Yeah

613
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: it's and thus another alien comes along in a hundred

614
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: years is him? So yeah, we literally say after that

615
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: third home run moment, I didn't say anything for like

616
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: forty five seconds. And it was partly because you know,

617
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm a big advocate letting the moment breathe, but mostly

618
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: because we just had nothing to say. You know, we

619
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: had nothing, and it's our job to have words. We

620
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: had we had zero.

621
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: I really love Mo with that.

622
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: He is, you're you're there, just like, please help me out,

623
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 4: and he gave you nothing, absolutely nothing.

624
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: That's a pro right there, letting you just rot.

625
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: And again it's and he said, He's like, I've never

626
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: seen I never seen anything like that and again all

627
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: all the people that have been in his orbit throughout

628
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: his life in baseball from more to say that, like

629
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: you know that, that just kind of seals the deal

630
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: for me.

631
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, show here Tommy is as a video game character.

632
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 3: That's it he is.

633
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you turn all the difficulty off. Yeah, and

634
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if you're playing against it,

635
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: you're playing against my two year old. Yeah, we can't.

636
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: Wait to hear some unbelievable calls coming up. Let's do

675
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: left to live. He's in great health. We think he's twelve,

676
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 2: We're not exactly sure, but he has a clean bill

677
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: of health and he needs a forever home. If anybody

686
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 4: Well, I'm assuming somebody is going to win the American

687
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 4: League Pennant tonight, so we will be talking about whichever

688
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: team the Dodgers are set to face on Friday in

689
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 4: the World Series.

690
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,919

Speaker 4: they staying finally?

Speaker 2: Maybe is Shoo Tani finally getting on a plane to Toronto.

694
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 2: Dun dun dum. Although didn't he didn't We we played Toronto.

695
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: He went, yeah, yeah, but that doesn't Yeah, that doesn't.

696
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: Help them here.

697
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: Yeah right, fact, but yeah, we will be live tonight

698
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 4: sometime after that game is over, probably eight thirty ish

699
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 4: LA time.

700
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: So do check it out. I have a button for

701
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: that there it is. Check it out.

702
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 4: All Dodgers with Clipsis and Jeff Snyder, the boys should

703
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 4: all be there, including my friend Kevin Skinner, producer Kevin

704
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 4: as we call him.

705
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: It is.

706
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 4: Before we left, I want to continue on a little

707
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 4: bit more with the whole idea of Dodgers are ruining

708
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 4: baseball and all of this money. Bs is a couple

709
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 4: of graphics, one of which Nelly had brought up there.

710
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: This one, this one has gone around a whole bunch,

711
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 4: and I mean it's gonna be some.

712
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: This is This is a great, a great depiction of

713
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: why people should not be mad at the Dodgers, be

714
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: mad at the other friggin teams that don't spend any

715
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: money on payroll and revenue. Look at what the Miami Marlins,

716
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: not surprisingly guys thirtieth on the list. They spend twenty

717
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: seven percent of their revenue on players. Ridiculous. Okay, that's

718
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 2: all you need to know. The Dodgers are at seventy

719
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: three percent, So essentially, what the And again, I'm no

720
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: wizard in terms of accounting, but I can tell you

721
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: that when you you spend the majority of your income

722
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 2: and your revenue stream back into your players and back

723
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 2: into the product that is going out on the field,

724
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: that tends to yield itself a professional team that actually

725
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: wins and an ownership group that actually wins or cares

726
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 2: about winning. And if you're a Los Angeles Lakers fan,

727
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: which I know many Dodgers fans are, you should be

728
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: super duper psyched that Mark Walter and Guggenheim just bought

729
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: the Lakers, okay, because it's going to be exactly the

730
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 2: way that what they're doing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

731
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: So yes, you know, I understand big market teams have

732
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: some benefits, but every I don't know how many time

733
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put it on my tombstone. I don't know

734
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: how many times I have to tell people that all

735
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: thirty owners have the ability to spend money. It's the

736
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: owners that choose to spend it that should be applauded

737
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: and not crucified. And I loved I'll finish with this.

738
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 2: I loved with what Dave Roberts said, what he had

739
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: to say, let's ruin baseball a little bit more, you know,

740
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: paraphrasing four more wins. Let's let's really ruin baseball by

741
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: getting four more wins. Hell, yeah, let's go.

742
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 4: You know, you mentioned the other teams, the other organizations

743
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: that have the potential to spend you know, it's not

744
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: the Dodgers' fault that the Boston Red Sox did not

745
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 4: want to pay Mookie Betts a fair living wage for

746
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 4: his talents. Yeah, it's a lot of money to us,

747
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 4: it's not a fair living wage to him.

748
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: It's a fair living wage. So he falls to their laps.

749
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 4: This is from the guy who chipped in for you,

750
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 4: you know, spot started, Blake Harris. He had tweeted this

751
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 4: over the weekend. Any team could have signed Blake Snell

752
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 4: over this offseason. Freddie Freeman, maybe not so much any team,

753
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 4: but you know, training for Tommy Edmund. Nobody really wanted

754
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 4: ta Oscar Hernandez picking up Max Munsey quite literally off

755
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 4: the scrap heap. Don't be upset at the Dodgers that

756
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 4: your team and your ownership sucks. Be upset at your ownership.

757
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 3: It's just that simple.

758
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: The Dodgers are out here trying to win baseball. We

759
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: saw in twenty two, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three

760
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 4: various reasons for this team struggles. Paramount right at the

761
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 4: top was starting pitching, and and you know, Mark Walter said,

762
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 4: go fix that, and that's where you get Yamamoto. At

763
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 4: the time, you signed Shohewatani, who was just getting hit

764
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 4: by the way, he's arguably the most talented arm in

765
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 4: that starting rotation. And then you mix in Blake Snell

766
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 4: in the offseason.

767
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: Just go along with the guys that you have developed.

768
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: Blake Snell has been every bit of that Snell Zilla

769
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 2: that that we hope that he got. I mean, my god,

770
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: he has been and I know we lost him for

771
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: a long period of time, but the Dodgers had enough

772
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: to be able to maintain until they got to this point,

773
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 2: but he is. He has been such a joy to watch.

774
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 4: The last thing I'll say, last thing I'll say is

775
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: the frustration of the headlines that are already coming out,

776
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 4: Like minutes after the Brewers are eliminated, they're talking about, Oh,

777
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: they're gonna look to trade Freddy Peralta so they don't

778
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 4: have to pay him eight.

779
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: Million immediately, immediately, even they're not even on the plane.

780
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: They're not even on the plane yet, and they're already

781
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: talking it. Well, Paul Skiens, Skiings and.

782
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: Schoobl and escape, that's a different story.

783
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: Well, now throw that graphic back up there about the revenue,

784
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: because somebody was talking about it in our chat, Like,

785
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: look at Pittsburgh, you guys, look at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh in

786
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: terms of revenue three hundred and twenty six million in

787
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. You look at their payroll and tax

788
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: is one hundred and twelve million. They spent thirty four

789
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: and a half percent on putting it back into players.

790
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: You think, if I'm Paul Skans, I have both feet

791
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: out the door, like you can't. You're not gonna win there.

792
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: And those types of guys, the Trek Schoobls and Detroit's

793
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: better than Pittsburgh. But like the Paul Skins of the world,

794
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 2: they want to win people that are that good. Are

795
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: not in my opinion, are not that good. Are not

796
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: content to settle on a team and just make a

797
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: boatload of money in my opinion.

798
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: But the final thing, the final thing, the final, final thing.

799
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 4: I'll add on this so that graphic back up again,

800
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 4: looking at you know, the Dodgers revenue seven hundred and

801
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 4: fifty two million dollars last year.

802
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 3: Good products get you money. You invest in the team.

803
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 4: People show up, they spend money at your ballpark, they

804
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 4: want to watch your baseball team, they want to buy

805
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 4: your jerseys. Yeah, Otani helps a lot with that as well.

806
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 4: But if you invest in the organization, you will reap

807
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 4: the rewards and be able to invest even more like

808
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Dodgers do.

809
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, you're absolutely. I mean, think about there's

810
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: certain things in the world that you don't skimp on.

811
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: Toilet paper, bacon, There's certain things that you have to

812
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: like get that. The generic version is not going to work, right,

813
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: the generic version coffee. People are very boogie when it

814
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: comes to coffee, you know. But anyway, the point is

815
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: the Dodgers do it the right way. They spend a

816
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: lot of money. They make a lot of money, but

817
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 2: they spend a lot of money too, and they treat

818
00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 2: their employees in credit.

819
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 3: Well.

820
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: I was there for seven years. It was phenomenal. They

821
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: treat you really, really, really well. So anyway, that being said,

822
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: everybody check out Clint tonight on All Dodgers with Clint
