1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: He just, you know, notices that I have the honeybone. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: He said, I'm gonna start calling you Honeybut I said, man, 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: that's stupid. Nobody's gonna call me honeybone. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, what is happening on this Thursday? Holy moly, 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: I have a lot of headroom on this. I'm gonna 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: go ahead and bring this. My buddy Clinton, SEUs and 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: I are a little bit more even. What's up all? 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 2: This is Alana Rizzo, This is Clint Psius. Dodgers territory 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: is here on this Thursday afternoon. Don't forget to give 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 2: us a five star rating like subscribe tube in as 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: Clint likes to say on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you're listening, 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: wherever you're watching, we appreciate it. Clint, how are you? 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 2: It's an interesting a week so far? But your your 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: your biggest takeaway from Monday through Wednesday of your Los Angeles. 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 3: Daughters as Monday, nice little off day there. Tuesday, they 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: should have saved some runs for Wednesday. But going for 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: the series win tonight with the always exciting bullpen game, 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: Michael Grove getting the start, so we'll see how that 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 3: one turns out. Going for a series win. That's what 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: you want against the defending World World Series champions. But yeah, 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: I've got a lot to dive into in this one. 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: Yeah you mentioned a bullpen game. Evan Phillips, the Dodgers closer, 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: Dodgers reliever, joining us here on Dodger territory coming up 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: here in just a moment. But before we get to Evan, 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: let's take a look at the big ticket, Clint. The 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: biggest thing over the last couple of days was the 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: news that the Toronto Blue Jays have said goodbye to 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: Cavin Bigio, hunt OF's son of Hall of Famer and 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: have now let him go to the Los Angeles Daughters. 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: The Dodger's picking him up. And there's two schools of 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: thought here, my friend. One is, we already have a 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: lot of guys like Calvin Bigio. Another school of thought is, well, 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: maybe the Dodgers sees something in him that the Toronto 34 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: Blue Jays didn't. I mean, they do have a history 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: of kind of a allowing guys to be themselves and 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: kind of reinventing themselves. 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of those guys where it's not 38 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: necessarily a needle mover. It's not the most exciting move 39 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: in the world. But it does feel a need for 40 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: this team. They needed some help at third base with 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 3: Max Munsey gone. I call this the months he band 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: aid for now. It gives them the opportunity to kind 43 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: of get into the handedness matchup with Kike. He had 44 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: been starting against everybody over the last few weeks, maybe 45 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: not earning it right now, so Bigo, they bring him in. 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: He's had some success at the big league level. This 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: Dodgers organization has had some success, as you alluded to, 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: at kind of say fixing some guys or helping some 49 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: guys figure out some things with their swings, get into 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: better positioning or mindset and all that kind of stuff. 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: So I can't say like I'm thrilled about the move, 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: but when we're talking about it's a fine move. It 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: helps the team kind of figure some things out in 54 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: the interim. How do you feel about Cavin Bigio Los 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: Angeles Dodger. 56 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: I think that he was a role player in Toronto, 57 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: never really got any sort of traction there. I mean, 58 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: he was blocked at a lot of positions with a 59 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 2: lot of guys. He's a bench guy, he's you know, 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: he's a serviceable dude, But right now, Clint, I think 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: we have a lot of those same guys, you know, 62 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: serviceable guys that can come off the bench, not playing 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: every single day. The bottom of the order, as we 64 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: have talked about ed nauseum, is not producing. If you 65 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 2: look at the numbers though, and we're going to get 66 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: into the fact that Dave Roberts has given Gavin Lux 67 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: his vote of confidence and to Gavin's defense, has been 68 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: playing a lot better recently. When you look at the 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: numbers though, between Cavin and Gavin, they're very similar players. 70 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: If you will. Cavin doesn't get to play a ton, 71 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: but only two home runs on the year. You can 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: see the RBIs the stakes that these guys have driven 73 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: in ops basically the same six fifteen for Vigio, five 74 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: sixty one for Gavin Luck. So you know, I'm just 75 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: wondering where does fit in? I mean again, is this 76 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: something that they see in him that they think they 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: can tweak something and make him more of an offensive force? 78 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: Is this forcing the issue with perhaps Kei k not 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: gonna get as much playing time, not that he gets 80 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: a lot anyway, but even less than what he's already getting. 81 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: Is this a band aid until Max Munsey comes back. 82 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: We had Max Munsey on foul territory the other day, 83 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: and you know he's They're still being very cautious obviously 84 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: with the oblique issue. So it's not a massive move. 85 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: It's not an oh wow move, but it doesn't hurt 86 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: the team. I'm just not certain how it helps the team. 87 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 3: Lux, as you said, he is hitting better at the moment. 88 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: He's he's as Dave might say, he's on the come 89 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: right now. He's hitting two seventy three over his last 90 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: sixteen games fourteen starts, two ninety four before last night's over. 91 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 3: I look at this bigio thing. I agree, there are 92 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: a lot of the same type of dudes, very light hit, 93 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: maybe kind of glove first guys. When you got kiy K, 94 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 3: you got CT three, even throw Miguel Rojas in there, 95 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: and what we've seen with Lux. But maybe I kind 96 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 3: of had the argument that maybe, because maybe this is 97 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: something that could sort of light a little bit of 98 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: a fire under the asses of a Chris Taylor of 99 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: a key k Hernandez is like, hey, you know, wake 100 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: them up. Like if somebody comes to my job to 101 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: do the same type of thing, I'm gonna be a 102 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: little concerned. I'm going to probably try to put in 103 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: a little extra work. Not to say they're not putting 104 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: in the work. It's been a lot of just I 105 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: I don't know about bad luck. It just has not 106 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 3: the ball has not fallen their way this year. But 107 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: I wonder if there was a hint of that with 108 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: Cavin Bigio coming to the Dodgers. Maybe. 109 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: I just don't feel like these guys are guys that 110 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: get complacent. I don't feel like the Chris Taylor's and 111 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: the Key k hernandez Is of the world are guys 112 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: that are like, Oh, I'm good, I don't need to 113 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: worry about it. I know that I'm that I'm safe. 114 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: Nobody in this game is safe. If alber Polhols can 115 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: get dfa'ed, so can Key k Hernandez, you know. And 116 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: I just don't think that that's the issue. I just 117 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: think they're both having horribly down years, and both of 118 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: these guys have been unbelievable for these the Dodgers organization 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 2: in clutch key postseason moments. I just think they're both down, 120 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: and it's magnified because everybody in the bottom of the 121 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: order is down right now. So again two seventy one 122 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: on base. It's a two eighteen average for Gavin Lux. 123 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: But you know what that's We'll see. It's June thirteenth. 124 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: We don't really need to start worrying about the trade deadline. 125 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: The Dodgers are obviously going to the postseason. Is this 126 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: a long term fix, Probably not. Maybe it is just 127 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: a band aid. Maybe it's a situation too. Whether it's 128 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 2: either Dave Roberts or the front office, I'm not certain, 129 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: or a combination of the two playing that matchup game 130 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: all the time and getting burned. It's not a situation 131 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: like where the Atlanta Braves with Brian Snicker and I've 132 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: referenced this a million times. You know exactly who's playing 133 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: every single day, and and they're always for the most part, 134 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: barring injury, they're always in the lineup in the same 135 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: exact order. It's never about handedness or who's on the hill. 136 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: We don't we I say it like I play. The 137 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: Dodgers don't do that, and I think sometimes that hurts 138 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: them playing MATCHI matchie all the time. Just let guys 139 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 2: go out and face either handedness of the picture. 140 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, consistency say At the same time, though, you can't 141 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: take away the fact that they've been this successful for 142 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: a reason over the last decade. It is playing those matchups. 143 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: It is kind of going to the handedness. You know 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: we saw in twenty eighteen when Cody Bellinger before he 145 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: decided to turn into an MVP, he was kind of struggling. 146 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: He got in that platoon role. Jock Peterson a platooned 147 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 3: lifer when he was with this team. Kik as well. 148 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: They love playing the matchups. I would love to see 149 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: some more old school baseball where we have the same 150 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: guy one through nine or one through eight. I don't 151 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: think that's a reality in the game anymore. But he's 152 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: given some more high quality options and one thing I 153 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: like about it before we move on, one thing I 154 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: do like about this Vigio thing is it gives Miguel 155 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: Vargas the opportunity to keep playing at Triple A because 156 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: he was getting zero time at the big league level. 157 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: Fans were clamoring to see more of this guy who 158 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: was arguably one of their better hitters coming off the bench, 159 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 3: but he only got into I had the notes somewhere. 160 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: I think it was hit twenty three played appearances over 161 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: nearly four weeks with the team, So that's just not 162 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: fair to the growth of Miguel Vargas. 163 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: Bgio provides him a left handed bat at third basewell 164 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: months he's on the IL. This isn't that complicated. Thank you, 165 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: Michael Sargent. I'm glad that you're the smart one of 166 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: all of us. Rod getting Vigio tells Lux now or never. Yeah, 167 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: I don't know about that either. I mean, he's a 168 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: high round draft pick. Gavin Luck says, I don't think 169 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: they're ready to walk away from him before we get 170 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: to Evan Phillips, who's coming on the show momentarily. We 171 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: always appreciate when players come on Dodger's territory with Clinton 172 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: and I. It reminds me you were talking about Matchie 173 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: Matchi and Jock Peterson like forever a platoon guy. When 174 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: we were in Colorado several years ago Dodgers were at 175 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: the Rockies. I remember one of the pool reporters, one 176 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: of the beat writers, went up to Jock and he 177 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: could not stand being told he couldn't hit left handed pitching, 178 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: and he got so pissed. I'll never forget it. Exactly 179 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: where he was in the Rockies lock or the visiting 180 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: clubhouse at Corsefield, and he was so irried. He's like, 181 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: oh really, you don't think I can hit liftenant pitching. 182 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: And I remember having a conversation with Jock after that 183 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: about listen, I'm gonna teach you a little bit about 184 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: media training. That's exactly what they want you to do. 185 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: They want you to get pissed off. They need something. 186 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: And this wasn't a regular reporter for the Rock or 187 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, but I'll never forget that he was. 188 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: He was hot, he was so pissed. He's like, oh really, 189 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: And sometimes you know, guys get that that narrative, and 190 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: I don't know that it's necessarily true. Let's see what 191 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: Evan Phillips Clint thinks about this team and this bullpen 192 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: that he's a part of. Obviously, Evan Phillips is a 193 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: guy that doesn't talk a lot, but he says a 194 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: lot with the way that he pitches. Evan High, it 195 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: is awesome to see you. Thank you for being on 196 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: Dodger territory with myself and Clint Pissius. What has been 197 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: the biggest takeaway kind of an overview takeaway of what 198 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: this Dodgers team is accomplished so far. Welcome to the show, 199 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: my friend. 200 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me. You know, this 201 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: season has already been off to a really special start, 202 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: and I just, uh, you know, the some of the 203 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: extra media attention that the team is getting, you know, 204 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: leads to the extra eyeballs across the league. So it's 205 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: been a lot of fun to watch, you know, especially 206 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: our lineup you know, over the past few days really 207 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: put put together a lot of great ut bats, put 208 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: together a lot of great games, and I think it 209 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: just gives us a taste of what's to come, and 210 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: hopefully we can continue to build on that and you know, 211 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: really put ourselves in a good position to make a 212 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: run this year. 213 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a lot of growth in that bullpen. 214 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: I think we've seen with some guys a little bit 215 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: up and down with Alex Vesia last year, that dude 216 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 3: has turned into an absolute unit and absolute weapon. How 217 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: special has it been to see uh, the real a 218 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: v as Jerry Harrison Junior might call him, Uh, see 219 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: him become one of those guys that can kind of 220 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: fill the role that you were doing before you became 221 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: the official, unofficial closer of being that fire man. What 222 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: do you think of Vesia so far this year? 223 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, the growth that Vess has 224 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, done for himself over the past year or 225 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: so has just been absolutely incredible. And he and I 226 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: we've we've constantly talked about know what it takes and 227 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: what it's going to require from each of us to 228 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: you know, have success at this level. And I think 229 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: he's had taste of it here and there across the 230 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: past couple of years, but to see him take that 231 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: extra leap this year has been really tremendous for him, 232 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: but also for our bullpen. I think it it really 233 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: lines us up to have success, you know, throughout the 234 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: late parts of the game with you know him, Blake 235 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: trying and Daniel Hudson myself, you know, along with the 236 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: other guys that have mixed in so far, and it's 237 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: really a special unit down there. We really push each 238 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: other well, and specifically to Alex, it's just been you know, 239 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: a tremendous jump for him this year. It's been a 240 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch Evan. 241 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes I think that closers, catchers and hockey goalies have 242 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: to have a little bit of a screw loose to 243 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: be able to want to you know, be behind the 244 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: plate with that those fastballs coming at him, to want 245 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: to be in the ninth inning, to be in a 246 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: in a you know, in a hockey net. It takes 247 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 2: something special in a person to get the final three 248 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: outs of a ball game. What is it about the 249 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 2: ninth inning in particular fires you up and allows you 250 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 2: to have the success that you've had, you. 251 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: Know, it's really interesting. I think maybe my screw got 252 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: knocked all the way out, you know, throughout my early 253 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: parts of the in professional baseball. You know, I didn't 254 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of success, you know, early in my career, 255 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: and I think that kind of taught me, you know, 256 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: how to withstand you know, you know, struggles. So I think, 257 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, at this point in my career, anything that 258 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: could happen to me out there on the mound, it's 259 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: it's nothing compared to what I've dealt with in the past. 260 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: So I think that's very very freeing for me. And 261 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, coming to the Dodgers, coming to an organization 262 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: that you know, has aspirations to win the World Series, 263 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, putting the team at the forefront for me, 264 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: I think has really really helped. And you know, locking 265 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: down those last three outs. It winning the game gives 266 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: me the extra edge I think late in the game 267 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: to get the job done. 268 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: I need to ask you, then, what's been the biggest 269 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: kick in the teeth. What's been the hardest thing You've 270 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: had to go through, that knock, that screw all the 271 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: way out to allow you to just be like, you 272 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: know what, I can handle this moment. 273 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: You know. I think early in my career, I was 274 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: just running in circles trying to figure out what I 275 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: needed to do to find success. And the part of 276 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: it was maybe I wasn't quite ready and I didn't 277 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: I didn't have the tools figured out, you know, for 278 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: success at the major league level. But I certainly came 279 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: into work every single day and tried, you know, everything 280 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: I could to make it happen. And I think, you know, 281 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: just the constant, you know, coming back to work and 282 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: coming back to the field every single day and trying 283 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: to get better that really really helped, you know, push 284 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: me through that process. And then you know, landing with 285 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: the Dodgers and you having a short stint with Tampa 286 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: kind of switching the narrative to helping the organization win 287 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: baseball games. For me, I think really really helped those 288 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: last little bits of development that I was missing. And 289 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: then you know, we'd here with the Dodgers. We just 290 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: continued to chip away, you know, piece by piece, and 291 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's adding a pitch or you know, 292 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: reinstilling the confidence that I had, you been missing from 293 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 1: all that, you know, the struggles I had early in 294 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: my career. But yeah, just you know, one bit at 295 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: a time, and I think we've really started to build 296 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: into a product that I you truly believe is the 297 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: best version of myself. 298 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: So this one a little maybe out of left field. 299 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: I don't know where you ended up. Uh uh, this 300 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: comes from our producer. I don't know where you tripped 301 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 3: on the grass, but he wants me to ask. He 302 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: wants to that, how do you explain tripping on grass 303 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: and and kind of that whole frustrating uh, you know, 304 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: stretch of time there having to miss with the hamstring 305 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: injury and how's the leg doing? 306 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, well, let's let's clear it up. First. I 307 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: didn't trip over anything, all right, it was you know, 308 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: it's definitely a freak accident type thing. My my com 309 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: cleat you know, dug in the ground. You know, when 310 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: I was, you know, pushing off to make my throat, 311 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: my cleat simply just stuck in the grass instead of 312 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, my leg normally rotating and turning over with 313 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: the rest of my body. My lower half just you know, stuck. 314 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: So definitely a freak thing where my my hamstring just 315 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: tugged a little bit, and it was something we were 316 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: being really cautious with. We didn't want it to turn 317 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: into anything, you know, more severe. So, you know, taking 318 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: four weeks off, you know, for something like that, was 319 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: extremely frustrating. You know, you don't want to miss any 320 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: time at all, and being away from the team, you know, 321 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: was really difficult. But thankfully you manage the ile stint 322 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: fine and it went out on a rehab stint and 323 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: got fully healthy. So definitely back in a great spot now, 324 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: and now it's just about putting the pieces back together 325 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: on the mount and trying to get back into good rhythm. 326 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: Evan, sometimes US reporters and broadcasters act like we're the 327 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: experts all the time, like we know everything that's happening 328 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: with the team, as if we're a part of it. 329 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: What is your take on the Cavin Bgio signing. Obviously 330 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: he's already played in a game for you guys. Some 331 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: people are saying he's very much, very similar to a 332 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 2: lot of guys that we already have on our squad. 333 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: But some guys are thinking, hey, you know what, the 334 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: Dodgers are really good about finding guys and turning them 335 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: into gems. What does Cavin give to this club? 336 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's just another guy that fits 337 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: our mold really well. I think you explained to perfectly. 338 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: We have a bunch of guys that kind of fall 339 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: into that category where you can play multiple positions on defense. 340 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: He's a left handed bat, you know, for our infield, 341 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: kind of replacing you know what Max Muntsey had helped 342 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: for us in our lineup. So yeah, Plus, I think 343 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity for him to give him some 344 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: runway and see what we can build with him. He's 345 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: a good defender in multiple positions and I think you 346 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: know that plays a huge role, you know, defensively for us, 347 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: and that'll always have a place on our team. So 348 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: I think we're excited to give him a chance. And 349 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's probably pretty easy for him to 350 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: transition to Dodger Blue from Toronto Blue Jay Blue so 351 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: hopefully there's no real dramatic changes for him there. 352 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: And obviously we were tracking that flight as Cavin made 353 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: his way to l A transitioning a little bit here. 354 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: We wanted to get to know Evan Phillips a little 355 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: bit more. Uh. This photo made its rounds on the 356 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: Twitter the X recently. All of the bobbleheads in Evan's lockers. 357 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: So this is kind of explain that, Graham, how many 358 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: bobbleheads in there? Is it all from one season? How 359 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: much stuff do you stuff in that locker over the 360 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: course of the season. 361 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: Well, I feel like we do bobbleheads every other day, 362 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: it feels like, so it's already pretty crowded up there, 363 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: you know. So we get every time there's a bobblehead 364 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: night at the stadium, they always put one in our 365 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: locker for us to take home or whatever, but usually 366 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: they just either end up in storage or in a 367 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: box into my parents' house. So I decided I'm actually 368 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: going to do something with these things this year, and 369 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: I think it looks pretty cool to display, you know, 370 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: the little bibbleheads up there, and you know, it's not 371 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: like they're you know, a big attention grabber, but it's 372 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: up there with a couple of pictures of my family 373 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: and I have a little stuffed bear from my son's 374 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: first birthday. So little things like that where I can 375 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: just look up and you know, remember that it's bigger 376 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: than one game, or bigger than you know, one outing, 377 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: something to take my mind back to, you know, what 378 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: really matters and my family, my teammates, you know, friends, 379 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: things like that. So I think it's a you know, 380 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: cool little nod to my teammates, and you know, hopefully 381 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: I'll get one of my own up there. That'd be 382 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: nice to. 383 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yoshinobu Yamamoto his bobbleheads tonight, Evan, So that'll be 384 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: the next one that you can add to the collection. 385 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: His Start got fish back a couple of days. 386 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: To slide all the bibbleheads back just so I can 387 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: put one, you know, up in front. 388 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 3: Now does it come within? That's what I want to know. 389 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 3: I wanted to come with the javelin for that. 390 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: There. His Start cup pushback because he let he emptied 391 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: the tank in New York, which was I mean, I 392 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: tell you what if if people had a question, Evan 393 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: as to whether or not Yoshi could pitch in a 394 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: big game. I think the question was answered, what is 395 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: he meant to this rotation and what have you enjoyed 396 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: about watching him go about his business and just him 397 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 2: as a person. 398 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yoshiova was a great guy. Watching him go about 399 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: his craft every single day is definitely it's very intense. 400 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: I think he's he follows a routine to at every 401 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: single day, and I think that explains a lot of 402 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, his success early in his major league career. 403 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: You can tell it's something he's been doing for you 404 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: many years, and he's he sticks to it better than 405 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: anybody I've ever seen. So you know, not only the 406 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: stuff he's doing inside, but playing long toss and the 407 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: stuff he does to take care of his arm. And 408 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: then he's he's not a big guy. So to watch 409 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, ninety seven ninety eight come out of his 410 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: frame is it's really impressive and it's it's been a 411 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch them, and you know, definitely 412 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: really exciting start in New York City. We're just hoping 413 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: he can get back on the mount suit for us 414 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: and you get back to business. 415 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 3: All right, So I got one here for you this 416 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 3: I think you've been around this Dodgers' bullpen long enough 417 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 3: to have seen the era where back in the day 418 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 3: in the old shed, I think maybe the shed cat 419 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 3: was a little bit before you, but they used to 420 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 3: have a kind of relievers. Y'all are weird. Y'all got 421 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: a lot of downtime in the in the in the 422 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 3: box as well, but they used to have a wall 423 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: it was no stra dumbass where they would write down 424 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 3: the dumbest things or the weirdest things your teammates have 425 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: said in the bullpen. Again, I don't know if that's 426 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: still a thing there, But if it is, or even 427 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 3: if it's not, what's the weirdest thing in your time, 428 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: particularly with the Dodgers, weirdest or dumbest or most like 429 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: what did this guy just say? Moment you've had with 430 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 3: a teammate. 431 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: Man. Well, so that that wall of fame you can 432 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: call it, that comes from our former bull catcher, Steven Shilatti. 433 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: And you know, on the other side of that wall 434 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: is where we play our game, where we call home runs. 435 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: So there's two sides of the game. And you know, 436 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: typically the home run calls are much more filled in 437 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: than you know, people saying some dumb stuff. The best 438 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: one I can remember is I'm not not afraid to 439 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: throw my guy under the bus. I love Tommy Canley. 440 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: And we were in Chicago playing the Cubs, and so 441 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: in fairness, the bullpens are you know, back in the outfield, 442 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: you don't have a clear view of the games. You 443 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: can't really see what's going on in front of you. 444 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: And we have Clayton Kershaw pitchings. This was a couple 445 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: of years ago, and Tommy was down there in the 446 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: bullpen with us and we're watching the game, you know, 447 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: Clayton's out there doing this thing. And Tommy makes a 448 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: comment to the group and says, man, we are just 449 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: not seeing this guy's curveball very well. And my, Tommy, 450 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: that's Clayton, Like he's on our team, Like that's a 451 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: good thing. And so he was. He was thinking that 452 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: it was a Cub's pitcher dominating us for some reason. 453 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: So that that definitely made the Wall of Shame. And 454 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: that's probably my favorite one I can remember. 455 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: Oh man, Tommy Canley was on a foul territory yesterday. 456 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: So I wish I would have known. I wish I 457 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 2: would have known that yesterday. Yeah, so's it's an interesting 458 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: you guys are are are weird. Yeah, relievers are definitely weird. 459 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: I agree with Clint on that what is the like, 460 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: what do you do for fun? What do you do 461 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: to get away from the game of baseball? What do 462 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 2: you do on the road when you don't have to 463 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 2: deal with the kids getting up at six am or 464 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 2: you know all the honeydew lists? What do you do? 465 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, so here at home you're diving into. My 466 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: family has definitely been you know, a lot of fun. 467 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: My son's just over a year old, so you're coming 468 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: home and being able to spend time with he and 469 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: my wife is that's always the best thing for me 470 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: to do when we're here at home. Getting out on 471 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: the road, you know, it's fun to explore, you know, 472 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: new cities, and you know, I'm a coffee guy, so 473 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: I like to go out and find a coffee shop 474 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: or you know, little things like that, just to get 475 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: out of the hotel for a little bit. But you know, 476 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: sleeping in it's really nice when I'm on the road. 477 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure my wife doesn't want to hear that, but yeah, 478 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: you know, keeping it simple. I like to sneak out 479 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: for a round of golf here and there, But that's 480 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: typically more of an off season thing. Uh but yeah, 481 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, pretty simple guy, just you know, coffee. Yeah, 482 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: I can't lie it. 483 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 2: Sure you had mentioned that Steve Schlotti started that stuff 484 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 2: in there is Viper not a bullpen catcher anymore. 485 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: No, Viper. He retired. He's he's back home with his 486 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: family and as yep, yep, he's doing good. 487 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 2: I tell you what man that guy was. He was 488 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: such a good human being. For those of you that 489 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: don't know what a bullpen catcher does. I mean they 490 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: do so much for these bullpen guys, and you know, 491 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 2: the same physical going through the physical rigamarole of everything 492 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: that he has to do, and just such a great person. 493 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: So anyway, if you talk to him, tell Viper. I said, hello, 494 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 2: all right, have you tried the javelin? Don Kim wants 495 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: to know if you've tried throwing that? Where does this 496 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 2: come from? This javelin story? I'm I'm not familiar with 497 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 2: this of it. 498 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so Yamamota has he's like there looks like 499 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: a little nerf avalance and he flings them, you know, 500 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: super high in the air. And I think it's the 501 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: idea is to like create length and kind of simulate 502 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: long toss without really having to throw a long toss. Uh. 503 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: And no, I have not tried it yet. I'm kind 504 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: of nervous to because I just have to see bad 505 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: feeling that I'm gonna, like probably throw a slider and 506 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna hit the outfit of wall and look 507 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: really silly. So I haven't tried it yet, but you know, 508 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: maybe it'll sneak its way into my routine. 509 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 3: So I got one here for you. Another thing I 510 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 3: think bullpen people. I mean, I want to see more 511 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 3: nicknames in the game in general, but I have one 512 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: for you that a friend of mine calls you. I 513 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 3: want to I want to get a little by yourself. 514 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: You're buying it or you're getting rid of it. It's crap, 515 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 3: And I'm gonna tell this guy to stop calling you this. 516 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 3: But he calls you high leverage honey Bun. 517 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: Yes or no, I'm buying it, you know. So Honeybun 518 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: is the root of the nickname, and that's a college 519 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: nickname to this day, some of my best friends from 520 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: college it's always Honeybun. And you know that story. It's 521 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: my freshman year, you know, first couple of weeks on 522 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: campus and we have a fall game going on, and 523 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm charting, doing a velocity chart, and my budd's sitting 524 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: beside me. He's doing the game chart. He's like, you know, 525 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: junior Friday night starting pitcher, a big deal. And I 526 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: obviously sit down with some snacks and one of them 527 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: I pull out, and he's like a like a doctor 528 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: pepper and a honeybun, and so he just, you know, 529 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: notices that I have the honey bun. He's like, I'm 530 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna start calling you Honeybun. I said, man, that's stupid. 531 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna call me honeybun. And yeah, sure enough, Like 532 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: I said, to this day, some of my best friends 533 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: from college, you still call me honeybun or bun. And 534 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: they get into the Dodgers. You know, all the guys 535 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: were trying to figure out if I have a nickname. 536 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: They thought Evan was just too bland, so they were 537 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: trying to call me something different, right, And so I 538 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: tell them the Honeybun story and it just takes off 539 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. There's t shirts. 540 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: On your chair guaranteed the next day. It's amazing how 541 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: quickly it goes from someone's mouth to a chair, a 542 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: T shirt on chair. What's the best nickname you've heard 543 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: in the game. You cannot say, you're. 544 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: Mm hmm man, that's a good question. You know. I 545 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: have to give this guy some props. I'm a really 546 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: big fan of cal Rawley's nickname, the Catcher Seattle Big Dumper. 547 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: That's just a fantastic nickname. It's a fantastic nickname. Who 548 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: kudos to whoever created that one, because that's legendary big. 549 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: Can you imagine can you imagine doing Players Weekend like 550 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: they used to and put the nicknames on the back 551 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: and just having Big Dumper. I mean, that's that's ten 552 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: times better than Honeybun, no doubt. 553 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 2: Oh Chicken strip, Corey's brother. I loved players, So I'm 554 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: so bummed that they took that away, Like, let's let's 555 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: do that again. That was that was Cory's brother. 556 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 3: For Kyle was the best, absolute travesty. They took that away. 557 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 3: Last one and then we'll let you get out of here. Ivan. 558 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 3: We obviously know you have a game tonight, but last 559 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: couple of years, man, you're somebody who's been incredibly deserving. 560 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 3: You've earned an All Star birth, been been snubbed? Man, 561 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 3: what's it going to take to get you there? What 562 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 3: do you want to see fans doing out there? Maybe 563 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 3: some riots, a little bit of protesting, maybe a a 564 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: small polite sign like please let evan politically? What do 565 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 3: you want to see? How do we make it happen? 566 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: Oh? Man, it would be really special to get there. 567 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: You know, you know it's not my not my decision. 568 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: We have a lot of deserving players, not only in 569 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: our team but across the league as well, So you know, 570 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: I genuinely believe the guys that have been there, you know, 571 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: they all deserved it. So it's uh, you know, it's 572 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: not too bad to have an All Star breakoff. And 573 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: each year my wife and I we've we've made you 574 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: made the trip special, and you've gone down and enjoyed 575 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: some of the SoCal beaches and things like that, so 576 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: so missing it wasn't all that bad. But it would 577 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: certainly be you know, a huge privilege and honored to 578 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: be selected. So yeah, maybe just say it please, you know, 579 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: maybe a nice little polite sign. I'm sure my wife 580 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: would be on board for that one. She'll probably you know, 581 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: she'll lead the crafts group to make those signs No. 582 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: You deserve it. Evan.

From 593 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: here on out, it's Evan Honeybun Phillips. Time now, Clint 594 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: for last licks. Let me introduce you out there watching 595 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 2: and listening to us to Amy Farah Fowler. Amy Farah 596 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: Fowler is part of the Big Bang Theory litter. There 597 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: are seven little puppies and she's adorable, just as her 598 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 2: siblings are.

If you could 602 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: help out with her foster supplies and her vet costs. 603 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: Gidrisguardian dot org. If you're interested in learning more about 604 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: her and adopting her, please give us a give us 605 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: a shout out, give us a heads up, and we'd 606 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: be happy to give you more information. All right, before 607 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: we say goodbye, could you weigh in on Buehler and 608 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: your level of concern? 609 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: What did we talk about a number of weeks ago, 610 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: I said, give me five or six starts before I 611 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 3: really start to cement in a strong opinion on where 612 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 3: Walker Buehler is. And the strong opinion is I am 613 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 3: quite worried. I mentioned it a little bit last week. 614 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 3: I think there's too much information, there's too much talk 615 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 3: about the past, about trying to get old Buehler back. 616 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 3: I would love to see him just go out there 617 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 3: and let it rip, let it eat. But also if 618 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: he's gonna let it eat, he can't be letting it 619 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 3: eat with that fastball arguably the most hit herble pitch 620 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 3: in baseball. Right now, batters are feasting on it, hitting 621 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 3: four twenty nine, slugging eight eighty six, and that includes 622 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: Corey Seeger's home run last night in the ball game 623 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: we're getting close. You know, he mentioned his fastball doesn't 624 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: have the FU behind it. 625 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: So I think this is an amazing this is the 626 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: best tweet you've ever had. 627 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 3: Middle fastball is certainly lacking an f U plus, which 628 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 3: I think is a baseball reference, a new stat or whatever. 629 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 3: But I need to see a little bit more out 630 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 3: of Walker. I need to see a lot of less tinkering, 631 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 3: less thinking, just going out there, letting either Barnsey or 632 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,959 Speaker 3: Will put the signs down, throw the ball to the spot. 633 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: Don't worry about trying to hit ninety seven ninety eight 634 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 3: right now. Just get some consistency with location, with command, 635 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: and get your get the confidence back, because right now 636 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 3: he is not one of the five best starters in 637 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 3: that that starting rotation, when Bobby Miller comes back, when 638 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw comes back, presuming Kursh's vintage or whatever. But 639 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: it's a struggle, and it's it's it's tough to see 640 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 3: Buttane struggling the way he is, and I know he 641 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 3: is absolutely livid with where he's at. But without that fastball, 642 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 3: he's he's a shell of a man. You know, that's 643 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 3: his go to weapon, and he's all out of ammunition 644 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 3: right now. 645 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: Well, he used to be able to throw with conviction 646 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: and he used to be a good outpitch for him 647 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 2: by Blake Williams had this tweet. You're talking about that 648 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 2: for seemer Clint Bueller through five fast ball of results 649 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: where a one hundred percent hard hit rate, a thirty 650 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: three percent barrel rate, a four hundred batting average, a 651 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: single home run, a one hundred and three mile per 652 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: hour ground out, and one strikeout. So yeah, that's that 653 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: is his bread and butter. So if that's not working, 654 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: he's going to the off speed stuff, the break and 655 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 2: ball stuff. That's not That's not who Bueler is. He's 656 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: not a you know, he's not a finesse guy. He's 657 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 2: a shovet, right down your throat guy.
