1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: The newest member of Dodger's Territory. She's been on the 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: show now for about a month and change, but covering 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: the team out there and covering the first real games 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers of the twenty twenty six season. Katie 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: Woo joining us right now. Katie, great to have you 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: on and great to have you part of Dodgers' Territory. 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: If you don't mind, I would like to start with 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: the social media controversy because one of the things that 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: really made this network special is that we can cover 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 1: what everyone's talking about online. The Dodgers winning, sweeping, all 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: the festivities, that's all cool. Is there really a story 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: to the team kind of switching things up for Edwin 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: Diaz with a remix of the song and fans liking 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: it are not liking it because online fans are going crazy. 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: I just can't tell if those fans are bitter Mets fans. 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: So your thoughts. 17 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: So, I actually was not sure what the controversy was 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: for a second, and I was like, oh my gosh, 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: what did I miss? But now this makes more sense. Also, 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: very nice to see you guys. I noticed no Aj 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: Persinski yet again, not surprised, just disappointed, but certainly very 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: happy to be with you guys. Let's talk. Let's talk 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: to Edwin Diaz. If I was a Mets fan, I 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: would be disappointed too, so I get it. I'd be 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: maybe a little bitter. I actually think the Dodgers entrance 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: is really sick. They brought in Chatana Tate, a Los 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: Angeles based musician. She works with DOCI very accomplished to 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: do a live trumpet performance both nights. The bullpen catchers 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: and the training staff. They actually brought in many trumpets 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: of their own and they play kind of like how 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: mister and missus Met did as Edwin is running in 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: and the stadium loved it. I mean it was I 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: was excited as an objective member of the media to 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 2: see Edwin Diaz come in the first time at Dodgers Stadium. 35 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: So I think it's really cool. I think the Dodgers 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: might have more things planned. Edwin Diaz loved it. The 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: team loved it. The first when you hear the first 38 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: kind of drums, the beat drop, and you're just waiting 39 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: for the trumpets, the lights go down. He's running in. 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: Not since like can Jansen California love have the Dodgers 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: had just insane entrance like that. So Mets fans, I 42 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: get it, I do, But I don't think there's a 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: lot of controversy here. I actually think the entrance is 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: pretty electric. 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: I want to talk about Roki Sasaki coming in now, 46 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: He's got his first star coming up. Spring training wasn't 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: the best. Uh do we look into this a little 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: bit more or is it just him trying to tinker 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: with things, trying new pitches, maybe, you know, not showing 50 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: his what he really wanted to do with his full arsenal. 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 3: So this is a big one coming up here to 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: kind of ease all Dodger nation, you know a little bit. 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were definitely. I usually am like, let's pump 54 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: the brake spring training and spring training, but this case 55 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: is a little different. It was not a break for 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki, and his troubles were kind of all over 57 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: the place. It was an erratic command. Couldn't establish the fastball. 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: He's working on that third pitch to his arsenal, but 59 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: that's really hard to do when you can't really command 60 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: the first two pitches in your arsenal. Kind of out 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: of sync, just kind of lost. Now the Dodgers have 62 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt and saying where the Dodgers 63 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: and everything's fine, But let's read behind the lines. Rokiy 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 2: Sasaki is making his first start today. There was never 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: a question, even through all the trials and tribulations of spring, 66 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: that he wouldn't be in the rotation. And I can 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: understand a picture with that degree that high of stealing 68 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: should give it should have every chance to be a 69 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: starting pitcher in the big leagues. But we haven't seen 70 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: Justin Robleski yet for a reason, and the Dodgers have 71 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: said that they're going to start the season with using 72 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: kind of a six man hybrid rotation. Justin Rableski very 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: good spring will be in that piggyback role that is 74 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: designed for the In case rokiy Sasaki looks like spring training, 75 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: here comes Justin Rabluski to the rescue. And the Dodgers 76 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: have not said that they've played it kind of koi. 77 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: But let's read between the lines. Roki Susaki through a 78 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: bullpen on Saturday, regularly scheduled. You know who else threw 79 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: a bullpen on Saturday, gentlemen, Justin Rableski. So the Dodgers 80 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: are right to say, let's calm down, it's just spring training. 81 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: We believe in rokises. Of course they're going to say 82 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: that about their guy, but what's going on behind the 83 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: scenes will tell you that, you know there is some concern. 84 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: And they're also correct to do that, because if the 85 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: Dodgers go out there and don't have a backup plan 86 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: because Roki has really not given them anything to be 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: confident about, then that's kind of just organization malpractice. So 88 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: we'll see Roki Sasaki. If it does not go well, 89 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: Dave Roberts will not hesitate to get to the bullpen 90 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: for Justin Rabbleski. And the whole reason they had a 91 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 2: hybrid pitcher kind of to start was because they weren't 92 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: sure about show Hayo Tani's pitching progression coming back from 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: the WBC. The good news there es looked fantastic since 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: coming back, so we should see a full strength show 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: hey on Tuesday. But they got to get through Monday first, 96 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: and that's where Justin Rabluski comes in. 97 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 4: All Right, I'm big into conspiracy theories, so tell me 98 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: if I'm wrong or way off, or I'm maybe pretty 99 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 4: close on this one. Roki Sasaki came over from Japan. 100 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: The Dodgers would love to keep their fingerprint, their not 101 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: even fingerprint, their stamp in Japan, bringing the best players 102 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 4: over because no other team really had a shot at 103 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 4: getting Rokie Sasaki. 104 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 5: As much as everyone says. 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: Do you feel like maybe this is an automatic? Hey, 106 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: he was going to start no matter what, because hey, 107 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 4: we don't want to ruin our foothold in Japan with 108 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: other pitchers that are over there. If they see a 109 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 4: player comes over, has a little bit of struggles and 110 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 4: then gets sent to TRIPLEA, this doesn't look good for us. 111 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: So I love a conspiracy theory too, but I don't 112 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: think that's the case necessarily in this stance, because you 113 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: look at where the Dodgers are, Sasaki coming back and 114 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: doing what he did in the postseason. They don't have 115 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 2: their second in a row World Series championship if Sasaki 116 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: doesn't come out of the bullpen the way that he did. 117 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 2: But thirty minutes after the Dodgers won the World Series, 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: President Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman is on the field at 119 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: Rogers Center, got a question about what Sasaki's role will 120 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: be next year, and he said a starter. And the 121 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 2: reason for that is again because of the potential, the 122 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: high ceiling, the skill set. This is one of the 123 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: best pitchers to come out of Japan. I think there 124 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: was more hype around him than there was Yamamoto. Baseball's 125 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: a crazy sport because look at Yamamoto now. And that's 126 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: given all of Yamamoto's accomplishments in Japan as well. But 127 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: if you're the Dodgers and we're looking at the actual 128 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: logistics of their rotation, Blake Snell is on the il, 129 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 2: Gavin Stone is on the il outside of River Ryan, 130 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: who had a great spring, but it's coming off of 131 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: TJ and the Dodgers are right to monitor his innians limit. 132 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: He's in triple A right now. They don't really have 133 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: a lot of depth in their rotation that they feel 134 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: comfortable pushing in March and April. Now, the Dodgers do 135 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: have a depth in general, especially compared to other teams, 136 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 2: but with Snell and Gavin Stone out, that kind of 137 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: puts the onus on Roki to be in the rotation 138 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: no matter what because they need him, especially with the 139 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: aforementioned point of them not knowing what Shoeotani would look 140 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 2: like after the WBC SO Day one of spring training 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: Dave Roberts. Roki Sasaki is going to be in the 142 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: rotation that was the same case after every single bad start, 143 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: because quite frankly, they need him. They're lucky to have 144 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 2: Justin Robleski available to be in that piggyback role. But 145 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: you're doing everybody on the team, especially society, a disservice 146 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 2: by not starting him at least giving him two to 147 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: three starts to prove that Spring was an anomaly. If 148 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: we're still having this conversation in mid April and Justin 149 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: Erbluski looks as good as he did in Spring, then 150 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty obvious to make that switch. But 151 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: right now, given where each picture is in the Dodgers' 152 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: depth chart, necessarily it makes sense to have Sasak come 153 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: in the rotation. 154 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 6: This one's for the dudes looking for that peak bedroom performance. 155 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 6: Blue Choo just dropped their newest innovation, blue Choo Gold. 156 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: Blue Choo is the number one chewable ed brand and yes, 157 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: blue Choo Gold dissolves under your tongue and works in 158 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: as little as fifteen minutes peak passion and peak performance 159 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: in a single tablet.

It looks like here X, excuse me, how 173 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 3: clutch of an athlete he is, how awesome he is. 174 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: And for me, I feel like people know about him, 175 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: but do they really know about how good of a 176 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 3: baseball player he is. I feel like it goes unnoticed, 177 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: maybe because I'm on the East Coast and it's out 178 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: on the West coast. I know the West coast knows, 179 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: but talk a little bit about him and just how 180 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: clutch this guy really is. 181 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, I forget who said it after Saturday's game, but 182 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: someone's asked if he was Will Smith was the most 183 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: like underrated clutch player in baseball, And I think there's 184 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: a really good argument to be made there because this dude, 185 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: I think he said fifty three go ahead homers and 186 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: the regular season in his career, and that's not even 187 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 2: counting in all of his postseason accolades. And we were 188 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: talking to Will after the game, you know, birthday Bobblehead. 189 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: It's kind of just a given that he was going 190 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: to have a game like that, go ahead homer in 191 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: the eighth, win the game. He was just like, I'm 192 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: just calm in those situations, and I think Will Smith 193 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: has an innate ability to slow the game down. And 194 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: you're right that. I think maybe it does go under 195 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: the radar for a lot of baseball. Maybe it is 196 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: the West Coast, maybe it's just because of the amount 197 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: of sheer stars on that team, but Will Smith is 198 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: very much a member of that star group, and it 199 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: goes just again under the radar because maybe people just 200 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: expect the Dodgers to do this. I know I certainly do. 201 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: All three games, the Dodgers were trailing two to nothing 202 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: at some point the last two of the series. They 203 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: were trailing two nothing in the eighth, Guys, I didn't 204 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: even start writing my story because I knew that lead 205 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: wouldn't hold. That's just what the Dodgers do. They just 206 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: win baseball games. And when you have a player likes 207 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: Will Smith, and honestly, he kind of emblematic of the 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: whole lineup. He's so patient. He spoils pitches, he trusts 209 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: his swing. He has the speed where he can foul off, 210 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: spoil off the off speed and wait for the fastball 211 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: because he knows his swing is fast enough to catch 212 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: up to one hundred when he gets it. That's kind 213 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: of the Dodgers all around. They know their swing, they 214 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: know a pitch they want, and they know they're going 215 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: to get on base and score, and it just kind 216 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: of takes all the pressure out of it. Will Smith 217 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: is the perfect example of that all. 218 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 4: Right overreaction, which is more of an overreaction. The Dodgers 219 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 4: will win one hundred and twenty games, or Kyle Tucker 220 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 4: will hit below two thirty this year. 221 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: Oh, Kyle Tucker is that's an over He's he's He's 222 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: a perfect Dodger. I mean, he's done everything that the 223 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: Dodgers need him to do already. I love that moment 224 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: for him on Friday's win, delivering that key hit to 225 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 2: win the game and then sets the table for ed 226 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: the Edwin Diaz first save opportunity. The Dodgers could though 227 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 2: very much. You know, when you say one twenty, you're 228 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 2: just kind of like, come on, nobody does that, And 229 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: after three games you're like, maybe this team, maybe this 230 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: team can do that. But as far as what Kyle 231 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: Tucker has brought early returns, I mean, he is the 232 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: number two hitter on the best lineup in baseball, and 233 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: what that's really allowed to do. I think Mookie Betts 234 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: really enjoys me in the three hole now and it's 235 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: kind of slotted everybody down. Friddy Freeman is hitting fifth 236 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: against lefties. That's never really happened in his career before. 237 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: It just elongates that lineup and makes it so much 238 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: more dangerous. I think we're going to see a huge 239 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: year out of Kyle Tucker, and I think we're going 240 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: to get baseball is going to maybe twenty nine. Other 241 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: fan bases are going to get very tired of seeing 242 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: the same headline over and over. 243 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 4: Dodgers win all right, Well, I want to I want 244 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 4: a little for those on the podcast crowd. I'm drinking 245 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: some water, but this is Katie Woo drinking the kool 246 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 4: aid and dog. 247 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 5: Mean, you've been there for, you've been there for. 248 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: You've been there for like three minutes and you're already 249 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: sounding like Alana Rizzo. 250 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 6: But either way, hear me out. 251 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: I am watching a different rent level of baseball, and 252 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: there's I have so much respect for the Saint Louis Cardinals, 253 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: where you know, I spent the last five years and 254 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: they're rebuilding and it's just a different quality of baseball 255 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: and I'm enjoying seeing come from behind wins. So you know, 256 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: we can circle back in May. Maybe Rochie does have 257 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 2: a horrendous April, or maybe that pitching up isn't as 258 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: deep as we think. Maybe some guys slump. I personally 259 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: just don't see it. I'm high on life. Guys. It's 260 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: March thirtieth. Let's let's live a little. 261 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: I love that. 262 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 5: What what is their weakness? 263 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: What is their weakness? Because when you look at the 264 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: lineup as a non like you don't, I don't watch 265 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 4: the Dodgers every day. You watch the lineup and you're like, 266 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 4: I I was feeling for Zack Gown. Zack Gown I 267 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 4: think is a really good picture. But the first night 268 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: he's out there and it's like a Hi, we got this, 269 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: and then Miguel Rojas gets a hit and you're like, oh, crap, 270 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 4: back to the top of the order again. So what 271 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 4: is the weakness of this team? 272 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, face that lineup third time through at 273 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: your own risk. Even Andy Pa has a star. But 274 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: I think the weakness does go. It's health, specifically with 275 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: that rotation. Blake Snell. I don't think there's a true 276 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: timetable for him. Maybe mid May earlier would be better 277 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. But if you have one more starter 278 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: kind of hit the IL or have a setback, it 279 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: becomes a little dicey because they do have guys they 280 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: can use again. You can use Rableski and I think 281 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 2: we're going to see him as a starter a lot. 282 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: You can use River Ryan, but you really want to 283 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 2: be cautious coming back from TJ and you don't want 284 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: to overuse him, especially early in the season when pitching 285 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: injuries are the most common for that time of year. 286 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: And Emma Chian I don't want to nitpick after one start, 287 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: but the villa has been a little down, and there's 288 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: hasn't been a lot of command or sustainability of the stuff. 289 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 2: First inning has looked great, second third for the command 290 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: or the villo has dropped a little bit. So if 291 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: I'm nitpicking there, I think the weakness of this Dodgers 292 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: team would be just making sure that the starting pitching 293 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: stays healthy. Before the season started, I would have said 294 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: the bullpen. But the bullpen is through eleven and two 295 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: thirds scorelessenings, so maybe not. But I do think it 296 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: comes down to pitching health and keeping that rotation healthy, 297 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 2: because if the rotation isn't healthy, you start overtaxing the bullpen, 298 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: and that's what the Dodgers did last year and it 299 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: did create a lot of problems down the stretch for them. 300 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: So it's kind of a cop out to say health 301 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: because all thirty teams need health, but for this Dodgers 302 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: team in particular, the rotation is so so important. It 303 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: has the potential to be one of the best they've 304 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: ever assembled if they can stay healthy, because right now 305 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: the depth is a little thinner than I think most 306 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: people perceive. 307 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 4: Hi, Katie, last question, We're at the end of March 308 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 4: right now. Before you were in Saint Louis. Compare Saint 309 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 4: Louis the end of March to LA at the end 310 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: of March. Is that why you have the glowing, effervescent 311 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 4: smile that. 312 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 5: You have today. 313 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: No, I'm just happy to be here with you guys. Well, 314 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: I did tan yesterday, so that probably helps. That's the 315 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: biggest difference. I went to the beach on our random 316 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: Sunday off day yesterday, where that would not have been 317 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: the case late March in Saint Louis. But I do 318 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: miss that town and I'm excited for what's next here 319 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: in LA obviously. And yeah, I mean I'm looking out 320 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: right now, a little coastal breeze coming in through my 321 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: open window. I would not have an open window for 322 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: like ten months out of the year in Saint Louis, 323 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: so there's a plus there. 324 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, those are facts that go beyond baseball, and there's 325 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: really not much that's going to change on that front. 326 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: The weather is the weather. So Katie, well, it's great 327 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: to see you. Thank you for joining us. We'll be 328 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: talking again soon and everyone go check out Katie on Dodgers' territory. 329 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: And all the articles that she's rolling on the Athletic 330 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: Talk Soon. 331 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: You got it, guys, thank you, thank you. 332 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Yes, Dodgers Territory with Clint, Alana, Katie and many special 333 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: guests throughout the season. They are so good at what 334 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: they do part of the FT Networks if you want 335 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: more on the Dodgers. Just reminding everyone we have tons 336 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: of shows on the FT Network. This is one of 337 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: the originals and it's great. The host of our new 338 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: Brewers show, which we're very excited about Brewer Territory, Kurt. 339 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: Great to have you on more of the same basically 340 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: from the Brewers going back to the last regular season. 341 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: So some up what you saw and you can of 342 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: course include the great comeback win for them over what 343 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, some people think it's going to be a 344 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: better White Sox team, but the Brewers made them look 345 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: like they were a level down. 346 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, you said, it was more of the same. They 347 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 5: kind of were pesky for three straight games. They drew 348 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 5: ten walks on opening day, they put up i think 349 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 5: six runs then in the second game, and then obviously 350 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 5: had a six run eighth inning yesterday. Christian Yelich with 351 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 5: the big homer. It wasn't just the homer, though, it 352 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 5: was South Freely having nine pitch at bats. It was 353 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 5: Blake Perkins, you know, drawing a walk in a big spot, 354 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 5: Luis ran Heifo getting that eighth inning two, Christian Yelich 355 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 5: with with a big hit. So this this is what 356 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 5: we saw from them last year when they won ninety 357 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 5: seven games. So it's not entirely surprising considering the lineups 358 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 5: basically the same as last year, but it was it 359 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 5: was still an impressive offensive performance. You know, you can 360 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 5: put the White Sox caveat on there, but look like 361 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 5: they had good They threw good arm Shane Smith's a 362 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 5: good arm k from the left side. Look good. They've 363 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 5: got some nasty dudes in the bullpen. So you know, 364 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 5: what else do you want him to do besides beat 365 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 5: up on the White Sox. 366 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very true. I want to talk about one 367 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: guy in particular, the miz talk about him a little 368 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: bit and explain how the Brewers if he gets the 369 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 3: performances like that, it's going to be a really good 370 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: season for them. 371 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 5: Yeah. And the crazy thing and Corey Cainnabel and I 372 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 5: were talking about this on our live show after Opening 373 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 5: Day on ber territory was like he struck out eleven guys. 374 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 5: He gave up one run on the leadoff homer, and 375 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: it wasn't even the most dominant or even close to 376 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 5: the most dominant we've seen from his pure stuff. There 377 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 5: was some bouts with the control a little bit. We've 378 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 5: seen that with him. The fastball wasn't quite popping at 379 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 5: one hundred and one oh one. He was kind of 380 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 5: living in that ninety seven ninety eight range and still 381 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 5: got I think like nineteen or twenty whiffs on the fastball. 382 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 5: So I think that's an encouraging sign because there's going 383 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 5: to be a lot on this guy's shoulders this season. 384 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 5: It's a young, inexperienced rotation. We saw that with Brandon 385 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: Sproden Sunday's game. He got hit around pretty hard. So 386 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 5: MS is gonna have to find ways to be a pitcher, 387 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 5: to work deeper into games and maybe not always just 388 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 5: overpower guys with one hundred and find different ways to 389 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 5: slice and dice you up. 390 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 4: Hi, christian Yalwich, you mentioned his big three run homer 391 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 4: that put him over the top in the eighth. He's 392 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: six for ten for the weekend. I know we're a 393 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 4: lot of overreactions. But my question to you is, starts 394 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 4: out six for ten. Is there a world where he's 395 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 4: a more successful player if he only plays one hundred 396 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 4: and thirty five games? And will Christian Yelich allow Murph 397 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 4: to only put him in for one hundred and thirty 398 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 4: five games or is it fine if he just plays 399 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty two and see if he blows out. 400 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 5: I think it's somewhere in the middle one hundred and 401 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 5: thirty five for a guy like Yelich who takes his 402 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 5: role seriously, takes his contract in Milwaukee seriously. If he's healthy, 403 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 5: it's not going to be one sixty. But whether it's 404 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 5: pinchit opportunities like the one he had yesterday, or just 405 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 5: you know, playing at DH just about every day, he'll 406 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 5: probably land in the one forty five to one fifty range. 407 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 5: They like to find their days for him. You know, 408 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 5: when they're healthy. They have plenty of depth, so you 409 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 5: can pick a spot against the lefty here, pick a 410 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 5: spot there, and you don't have to play him in 411 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 5: the field too much. But it's interesting because like this 412 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 5: spring this maybe goes to show you how much spring 413 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 5: training matter is. Actually it definitely goes to show you 414 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 5: how much spring training matters to veteran guys like this. 415 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 5: He was searching for it, like going back between the 416 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 5: old leg kick krats, you know that one. You saw 417 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 5: that one up close, the leg kick, and then he's 418 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 5: been doing the toe tap recently, so he was kind 419 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 5: of work shopping with Dan vogelback like what do I 420 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 5: want to do here? And it didn't look good the spring. 421 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 5: The timing was off. He he had I think, like 422 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 5: two hits all spring, and then it comes up with 423 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 5: with maybe what's going to be the moment of the 424 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 5: regular season already on day three with the with the homer, 425 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 5: and you kind of saw some of that that. I 426 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: don't know if it's frustration, but like there was some 427 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 5: emotion on the homer yesterday where he had the bat drop. 428 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 5: He kind of just stared at it, stared into the 429 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 5: dugout and you don't see that a ton from him. 430 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 5: So it clearly meant something to him to hit that 431 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 5: homer yesterday. Every every one of the games means something 432 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 5: to Christiano. 433 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: That's why the dudes played for years with back pain 434 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 4: and finally needed to get back surgery. But anyway, we're 435 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 4: gonna go on to other injuries. Andrew Vaughn now out 436 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: with the Hamdmaid and obviously Jackson Cheerio out. Is there 437 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 4: a world where there's an injury to this lineup that says, ugh, like, 438 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: this is a little too much, because when Jackson Cheerio's out, 439 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 4: I don't care who you put in there. Blake Perkins 440 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 4: can't be Jackson Cherio for an entire season. But is 441 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 4: there a world where they say, Okay, this injury is 442 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 4: the one that's gonna break our back because now they're 443 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 4: calling up a third cat. Sure, Gary Sanchaz hits a 444 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 4: Homer on Sunday, so you're like, of course, of course 445 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 4: everything can just continue to go the Brewer's way. 446 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I don't think this. I think the 447 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 5: way this offense is is there's no singular injury that 448 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 5: would break them jet. When you have Chario down and 449 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 5: when you have Von down, it's at that point where 450 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 5: you're like, okay, if one of these guys goes down 451 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 5: and you start to think about, you know, some of 452 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 5: the spots where they don't have as much depth, where 453 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 5: whether it's Bryce terrang or William Contrero's those are probably 454 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 5: the two biggest guys where it's like they need them 455 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 5: as much as they can to play as much as 456 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 5: they can, and those guys have been generally healthy so far. 457 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 5: That's where this offense is at. But like like you said, Kratz, 458 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 5: this is the Brewers they have. I think they're like 459 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 5: twenty two and eight with Cherio on the injured list 460 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 5: the last two years. Some of that is, you know, 461 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 5: good luck, and some of it is this is what 462 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 5: this is what happened, and they have a system in 463 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 5: place and you call the next guy up and somehow, someway, 464 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 5: you just keep winning ball games by a combination of 465 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 5: the way they play offense and base running and good 466 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 5: defense and then generally good pitching. 467 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 4: Was it Jackson Curio il stint a surprise because of 468 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 4: the fact that it happened in their exhibition WBC games 469 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, bang were read at 470 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 4: the start of the season and he goes on the. 471 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 5: IL, Yeah, this wasn't great, not great, because you know, 472 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 5: we were down in spring training as asking Murph about it, 473 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 5: and he was joking I should use air quotes with that, 474 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 5: because I don't know how much of it was really 475 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 5: joke where he was like texting the you know, Venezuela 476 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 5: or the front office or whatever, send him home. And 477 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 5: at the time they you know, they did X rays 478 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 5: on the hand and there was nothing. And then he 479 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 5: came back to the Brewers spring training. At the very 480 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 5: end did x rays. All seemed like a bruise, but 481 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 5: further imaging for all the doctors in the house revealed 482 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 5: a hairline fracture. And they didn't do that until after 483 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 5: the exhibition games last week when his hands started to hurt. 484 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 5: So yeah, definitely a surprise, and definitely you know, like 485 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 5: like it's not the WBC's fault that he got hurt. 486 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 5: This stuff's gonna happen in spring training game. Guys are 487 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 5: going to get hit in the hand. He did get 488 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 5: hit in a spring training game. It was an exhibition 489 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 5: game against I think the Nationals. So this stuff is 490 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 5: going to happen. But it's not optimal that he then 491 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 5: played three weeks on it. From a Brewer standpoint, obviously, 492 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 5: I think if you're asking Churio or anyone from Venezuela, 493 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 5: they are like, yeah, that's fine, that's that's a fair 494 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 5: trade off. We won the whole thing. It's just a 495 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 5: couple of weeks in Milwaukee. But I'm sure the Brewers 496 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: aren't super thrilled that he kind of played through it 497 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 5: all and then they found out that it's actually fractured. 498 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Kyle Harrison, the big piece 499 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 4: that was brought over in the trade for Freddie P. 500 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 4: I'm sorry for the trade for yes, for it's okay. 501 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: It's a lot of trades, a lot of trades, track, 502 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 4: there's a lot of trades. But Kyle Harrison has more 503 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 4: pressure on him if he was traded for Freddy P. 504 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 4: So sorry about that, Jet Williams and Sproke. But Kyle 505 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 4: Harrison's starting tonight and this first start. Is there any 506 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 4: indications that Chris Hook, the pitching coach, has given you 507 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 4: in a sense of like what do they need to 508 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 4: see from him that would say, Okay, there's a successful 509 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 4: month of spring training that he's adopted X, Y or Z. 510 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 5: So much of it for the Brewers, and with Hook, 511 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 5: comes down to not necessarily what you see on the mound, 512 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 5: but what you see in the four or five days 513 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 5: in between the preparation, the work, the routine, Like how 514 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 5: do you react to failure? I mean, frankly, that's something 515 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 5: they'll need to see from him in the first two 516 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 5: months as well. They're going to see it with Brandon 517 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 5: Sprote right now. This feels very similar to twenty nineteen 518 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 5: when it was Burns, it was Wildriff, Peralta, and two 519 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 5: out of those three guys had really bad years. Corbyn 520 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 5: was sent down to the miners, gave up a billion 521 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 5: home runs, and Freddie went down to the miners as well, 522 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: and those guys responded, And now the Brewers have a 523 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 5: little more of a system in place of how to 524 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 5: win games, how to develop these guys. And that's not 525 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 5: to say that Kyle, Harrison and brand Sperder are going 526 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 5: to end up like Woody and Peralta and Burns, because 527 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 5: that's a pretty dang high bar to clear. But they 528 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 5: want to see them get through the season, get through 529 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 5: the work, get through the failure, in a similar way 530 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,959 Speaker 5: to some of the guys that have done that for 531 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 5: them in the past and then ended up having success, 532 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 5: whether that was Ashby or Quinn Priesser or Woodie or Burns, 533 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 5: like all these guys failed at some point and then 534 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 5: turned out to be really good pitchers. 535 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by Fox One Go 536 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: get that new app stream baseball, stream football, stream World 537 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: Cup action. 538 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: You'll be watching definitely.

My question to you now, 554 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 3: forget about players wise, I'm talking about teams and alf Central. 555 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 3: Talk a little about that. How do you see the 556 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: Brewers stacking up? I know they went three and zero 557 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 3: against the team that wasn't very good. They got some 558 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 3: big games coming up. Talk to me about you know, 559 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 3: what do you think their likes are of being the 560 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: top again? 561 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 5: It feels like we're doing the same thing over and 562 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 5: over with the Brewers and the Central where they kind 563 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 5: of don't have the flashiest offseason. They don't have the 564 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 5: flashiest offseason. It feels like they give away more than 565 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 5: they get back, and then we look up in August 566 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 5: and they're in a great spot. And that's kind of 567 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 5: what I'm expecting again this year. The Cubs have, you know, 568 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 5: you look at that roster on paper, it's a pretty 569 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 5: dang good roster and they should be able to make 570 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 5: some noise. We'll see. We'll see on the Pirates, we'll 571 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 5: see on the Reds, but you kind of it feels 572 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 5: like it boils down to a two horse race again 573 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 5: at this point. Again, we don't want to get too 574 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 5: read too much into a three and zero start against 575 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 5: the White Sox. But the Brewers did look a lot 576 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 5: in those three games like they did last summer when 577 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 5: they were, you know, beating the world. So that's what 578 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 5: I'm expecting. I'm expecting those two teams, and it will 579 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 5: be tricky to see, Like if the Pirates, I think 580 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 5: there's a lot of upside there, but can you hang 581 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 5: Can you hang with a team that has such a 582 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 5: winning pedigree for six months? That's tricky. 583 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this the start for the Brewish or 584 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: beats the start for the Brewers last year the Torpedo 585 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: Series for them when they were torpedoed by the Yankees. 586 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: So this is much rosier. They're already putting together a 587 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: much friendlier weekend for their fans coming off the sweep 588 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: of the White Sox. Okay, my question to you is 589 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: about something we didn't really get to hit last week. 590 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: It came out and missed a million other things around 591 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: opening day. Mark Otznasio, owner of the Brewers, said they're 592 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: losing about twenty million dollars with the switchover to working 593 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: with MLB on their broadcast rights this year versus what 594 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: they were going to get from the Main Street Sports Group. 595 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: How much do you think that hurt the Brewers when 596 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: they were going through their offseason or do they not 597 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: even really factor that into the way they do off 598 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: seasons anymore. I know this isn't going to be a 599 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: topic probably until September October, either if the team misses 600 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs or if they get bounced and don't win 601 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: a World Series. But if I'm a Brewers fan and 602 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: I feel like this is our winning window to win. 603 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: And I know some Brewers fans go crazy about this, 604 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: but I think they should put the pedal to the medal. 605 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: I want that one other starter that would have cost 606 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: me that kind of twenty thirty million bucks that can 607 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: win you a few playoff games in October. 608 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. The answer we got on opening Day when this 609 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 5: came up was like, oh, well, is that sure that 610 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 5: affected your off season, right? And the answer was not really, 611 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 5: because the way the Brewers operate, you know, they're unsurprisingly 612 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 5: in a great spot organizationally in terms of finances and 613 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 5: the value versus the debt and all that sort of 614 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 5: financial mumbo jumbo. But look, the Brews didn't doing a 615 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 5: whole heck of a lot in terms of using any 616 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 5: sort of financial muscle this offseason. Yeah, they they extended 617 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 5: the qualifying offer to brand Woodruff and you know, a 618 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 5: twenty two million dollar salary for a starting Pitchering Malwache. 619 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 5: That's not that's not nothing. That's the most they've ever 620 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 5: paid a starter over a single season. But look, you 621 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 5: look at their offseason and their payroll went up like 622 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 5: five six sish million, which was like four per four 623 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 5: or five percent up from last year. That's not quite 624 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 5: on par with what we usually see from teams that 625 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 5: made it to the NLCS. You know, you get that 626 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 5: long playoff run, you get a little more revenue, and 627 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 5: teams generally bump their payroll somewhere like nine ten percent. 628 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,239 Speaker 5: I think it was when I when I ran some 629 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 5: of those numbers this offseason. So whether it affected them 630 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 5: or not, we like they say no, and that's kind 631 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 5: of all we have to go off. But I think 632 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 5: I think your right, Scott, that coming off an NLCS appearance, 633 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 5: you don't have to mortgage necessarily the future. You don't 634 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 5: have to blow it up and make or not necessarily 635 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 5: blow up, blow up the farm system and make all 636 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 5: these all in trades. That's not how they operate, but 637 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 5: there are certainly ways to flex a little more finances. 638 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 5: And the Brewers are, you know, like they're the smallest 639 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 5: market in baseball. They'll tell you that they punch above 640 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 5: their weight compared to some other teams, and for sure, 641 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 5: we got to give them credit on that front. But 642 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 5: you know, whether it's like go trade for Luis Roberts 643 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 5: or sign a sign Harrison batter, you know, it's just 644 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 5: just those coats. A couple of examples that come to mind. 645 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,719 Speaker 5: They clearly were not in a incredible financial spot this offseason, 646 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 5: and maybe some of that was due to the TV, 647 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 5: and maybe some of it was due to this is 648 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 5: sort of just how they upreak. 649 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 4: All right, Can you glean a couple of your favorite 650 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 4: parts of the article? I guess is that cannibalism if 651 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 4: you like your own favorite parts of a column that 652 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 4: you wrote. No, that's like wordsm whatever it is about 653 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 4: its hous ego. 654 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 5: That's what it is. 655 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 4: Cannibalism is not the same thing. 656 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 5: Okay, good? 657 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 4: You know basically it said, you know, it says how 658 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 4: South Freelik's war cry has come to define the Brewers. 659 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, like, my favorite parts weren't anything I wrote. 660 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 5: It was talking to Sally yesterday after the game, like 661 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 5: the players were all kind of hanging out, and I 662 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 5: waited him out a little bit and then come up 663 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 5: to him. He's just talking like he's just talking about 664 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 5: how he's yelling drag him, drag him with you. And 665 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 5: it's like quintessential sal basically. And it's just interesting that 666 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 5: like this not only works for the Brewers, but they 667 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 5: have embraced it as an entire team one through nine like, 668 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 5: it's hard to have nine guys buy into being South Freelink, 669 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 5: and the Brewers, I think like mentally have nine guys 670 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 5: in the lineup that are basically buying into you know, 671 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 5: they're not South Freelink, no one really is, but they 672 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 5: are buying into the same mentality that he has at 673 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 5: the plate, which isn't necessarily like the goal isn't to 674 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 5: make you throw a billion pitches, but if we get behind, 675 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 5: I'm gonna make you throw a billion pitches. I'm just 676 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 5: gonna make you work, and that kind of you can 677 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 5: see how that applies to various areas of the Brewers 678 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 5: as well, And like you pay a little attention to 679 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 5: these details and you start to see a little bit 680 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 5: of how they keep out performing what we think they're 681 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 5: gonna do year in and year out. 682 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: Well, I love it.
