1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: The Dodgers have to win now. They're not a rebuilding team. Ever, 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: every year they're supposed to reload, and nobody feel sorry 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: for a team that has that type of peril and 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: those types of superstars. What up, everybody, Good afternoon and 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: welcome to this live episode of Dodgers' Territory, coming off 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: a phenomenal weekend against the Boston Red Sox.

Blue Balls is coming up next, but 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: first let's get into the Showmen. The greatest Showman and that, 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: my friend would have to be show Hey Otani, who, 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't believe that home run has yet landed? Where 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: were you where? I'm assuming I don't think you were 17 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: at the stadium, so I'm assuming you were watching at home. 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: What were you thinking when you saw that ballfly? 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: You know what, sometimes Showhy just really loves to choose 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: violence with that bat against these poor innocent baseballs already 21 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: being thrown. But that was an impressive feat. Four seventy three. 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: It was like one nineteen off the bat show and 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: he's got more in the tank. 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: But what a shot from this kid. You don't see that. 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: I love it that, you know, Clayton Kershaw came on 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: the broadcast not very long afterwards. You don't see that 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: a baseball reached that area of Dodger Stadium, Lana. You 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: know you covered baseball there for many a moon at 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: Usually a little more of a pole job. 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: You're you're talking about straight away left or right center 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: field off the bat of a left handed hitter. 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: Impressive stuff. 34 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: I look at that. It ended up landing in the 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: walkway of the center field plaza. This is where it 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: flew through and the ball afterwards, I tell you what, 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: I know exactly where that is, because that happened to 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: be where I was sitting with no More Garciapara in 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: what was the most interesting and fun home run that 40 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: I've ever seen at Dodger Stadium. Now, it was not 41 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy three feet, Clint. It was Hyung 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: Jin Reu. And you remember this very well, because it 43 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: was the last start that you made that season at 44 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, and Oral Herscheizer, no Mark Garciapara, Joe Davis, 45 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: and myself were on the broadcast that day, and Nomar 46 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: and I were out in the leftfield pavilion doing the 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: broadcast out there with headsets and amongst the people. We 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: were the men and women of the people that day, 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: and Joe and Oral lost their shit when this happened. 50 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: They were like standing up, They were like, you know, 51 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: biting through their tongues. Joe was so excited. I wish 52 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: you could go back and see the camera shot of 53 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: Joe and orl and then I see there's no Mar 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: and I going absolutely bananas on this home run from 55 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: hn jinrus So. Not the furthest not the furthest but 56 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: certainly one of the most exciting home runs I've ever 57 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: seen at Dodger Stadium because Joe Davis had been calling 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: for it all season long, right new he was gonna 59 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: go yard and then he did it in what was 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: one of his last chances. 61 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of the more fun things I 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: think for for Dodgers fans. Of course, winning one hundred 63 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: and seven games or whatever, it was that season, but 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: the build up, the constant talk about when is reu 65 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 2: the baby youth. We made a shirt at my old 66 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: job about it, bab re Youth. I coined the name 67 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: by the way, waited for it that entire season and 68 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 2: just everything to play out the way it is. Day 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: game at Dodger Stadium Sunday, his final start. I think 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: it might have even been his final It was definitely 71 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: his final regular season start as a Dodger. 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: You and Nomar being out there. It was fun, definitely. 73 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: You know, it counts for the same amount of points 74 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: that did, But Joe Hayes was a bit more majestic, 75 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: you know, shifting gears a little bit. I was at 76 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium for the g and Carlos Stanton, you know 77 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: monster dong that whipped out very very wrong, and I apologize, 78 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: but it's okay. We're not on network TV on this 79 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: still like that was another poll job. You know, it's 80 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: halfway or it's not halfway. It's it's almost like dead left, 81 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: you know, left side pole side to watch show. 82 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: Hey hit you know that DISO sign? Get that far 83 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: out there? Craziness insanity. 84 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Rod says it was at least five hundred feet. I 85 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: think I think you're right, Rod, I mean that was unbelievable. 86 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: And how about this Graham farm with this Kido Tony 87 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: might be good? Yeah, so good Graham. That he already 88 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: has thirty home runs on the season, I mean that 89 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: is just now. I mean again, it's like every single 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: day we're talking about something else that show Hay has 91 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: done and what is already an unbelievable career. Does it 92 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: count as being hit out of the park? I don't 93 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: think so because it didn't go. 94 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 3: Out right well. 95 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: I mean the park dimension has changed a little bit though, 96 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: from back then. I mean after nineteen is when they 97 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: did the renovations out there, so technically it would have 98 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: been over the roof, but it would have been over 99 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: like the final row of the pavilion seats. So that's 100 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: got to count for something, right, I mean, you could 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: put it. 102 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: You should do something, because I don't think anyone anyone 103 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: else has hit it that far, certainly not in a 104 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: Tager uniform. So good for him. I mean he's in 105 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: the likes of Gean, Carlos Stanton, as you mentioned, Mike Piazza, 106 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: some of those other guys as well. Good for him. Show, Hey, 107 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: you're awesome, glad you're on our team, not against us anymore. 108 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: David of course talking to him after the game, you know, 109 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: And it's just it's amazing to me what this man 110 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: has been able to accomplish, and he does it so quietly, 111 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: and he does it so gratefully. I'm talking about Show Hey, 112 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: not Davesick. We know that Dave is not quite but 113 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: good for him, and I think it's it's a it's 114 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: a fun thing to see the dugout reaction, Kershaw's reaction. 115 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: He is like, I've never seen this before. And Kershaw 116 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: has been a Dodger for seventeen seasons, which is insane 117 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: to me. And then he sees number seventeen hit a 118 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: ball four hundred and seventy three feet and even Kershaw's flabbergasted. 119 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: A future Hall of famers like, holy, I've never seen 120 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: that yet. 121 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. 122 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: I don't want to be the one to say it, 123 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: but I'll say it. I mean, Kershaw served up a 124 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: few dongs over come on. 125 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: Hey, everybody. I would go out there and give up 126 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: like five home runs if I was thrown right now. 127 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: I don't have a very good fastball. My cutter is, 128 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: and Slider isn't as good as Kershaw's. But hey, aren't 129 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: you happy Dodgers are only paying this show? Hey, tany 130 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: kid two million dollars this year? 131 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: I am, I am, and for the next what ten 132 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: ten years? Cutter Crawford still doesn't know what the hell 133 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: hit him, speaking of Cutters, but you know it's fine, 134 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford, God bless you, Kenny chun Stanton was down 135 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: the line. Otani hit it to the deepest part of 136 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I get it, Kenny, You're right. I mean, 137 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: Stanton's was impressive. Otani's was even more so. So you know, 138 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: I think it's great, all right. So r Ken Rosenthal, 139 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: who of course is the best MLB network insider or 140 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: MLB insider rather, wrote an article recently in The Athletic. 141 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: Of course, Kenny has done this for a very long 142 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: time about Shoho Tani, Ibe Mitsuhara and nas Bilolo the agent, 143 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: the in Steeler relationship that protected show, Hey Otani until 144 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: they didn't, And that's you know again, I don't know, 145 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: are we over this? I mean, I think it warrants 146 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: the fact that despite what could have been Clint the 147 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: most obvious distraction that could have really wrecked this team 148 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: and wrecked show Hey has really done the opposite. I mean, 149 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: it did not seem that he was at all affected 150 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: by what was going on, which was a big deal 151 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: off the field. Obviously Mizuhara greatly affected by it, but 152 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: sho Hey kind of picked up right where he left off. 153 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 154 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: I mean I almost argue if the whole thing kind 155 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: of gave show Hay a different outlook on his life, 156 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: his life in baseball. I mean, you could argue it 157 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: was the team change, but you could also argue as 158 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: part of this, you know, they I love with Ken. 159 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: I didn't make it all the way through Ken's article yet. 160 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: I had started, and then we had our pre production 161 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: meeting and then I was like, oh, I should probably 162 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: get back to that, but I didn't. 163 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: But and starting it, I like what Ken was setting 164 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: up there. 165 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: About the fact that you know, all of these guys, 166 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: and I also listened to He covers it on today's 167 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: edition Affair Territory as well. You know, it was kind 168 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: of this three headed or really a two headed monster 169 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: of keeping people away. You know, it was you had 170 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: to have a reservation to get any sort of access 171 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: to show Heyo Tani and I think now you're seeing 172 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: you know, Dave Roberts talking about he's he's a different man. 173 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: He's more open with his teammates almost immediately after the 174 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: incidents that happened there while they were coming back from Korea, 175 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: or just after Game one in Korea. So, if you're 176 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: looking for a silver lining to an absolutely awful situation, 177 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: situation for show. 178 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: Heo Tani. 179 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: If it kind of got him to open up more 180 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 2: and become this guy, I guess that's what you take. 181 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: It costs him seventeen million dollars in a friendship, But 182 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: I love this version of Shoeotani that we did not 183 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: see in Anaheim. And I don't know if it's because 184 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: it's Hey, here comes. I don't know if it's because 185 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 2: the angels suck and nobody cares about them, or it's 186 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 2: just kind of a new lease on a new outlook 187 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: on life for show. 188 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: Hey, what do you think? 189 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: Well, forget the fact that it was millions of dollars 190 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: and a wrecked friendship. I mean he's in prison now, 191 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: so I mean on top of the money that he 192 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: lost in the friendship that he lost, and obviously he 193 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: won't work in baseball ever again. Likely won't work in 194 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: professional sports ever again. Now he's got a lot of 195 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: time to think about what it was that he did. 196 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: It's important, though, when you have your star like that, 197 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: for them to be able to be somewhat insulated. Not 198 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: to the point though, where they're kept completely away from 199 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: their teammates or the fan base. I mean, the reason 200 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: that sho hey Otani can make seven hundred million dollars 201 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: from the Dodgers is because the fans are paying those prices. 202 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: And I know that Guggenheim is a tremendous ownership group, 203 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: but they have to be getting the money from someplace, 204 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: so you can't insulate them from the fan base, and 205 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: certainly not from his own teammates. But show he is 206 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: about to get some reinforcements. Client let's dive into blue 207 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: balls here. But it's actually a positive report if you 208 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: think about it, because they've got a lot of guys 209 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: coming back now. Jason Hayward is back, but they're getting 210 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: some more, all right, So kersh coming back going to 211 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: pitch against the Giants. Glasnow is supposed to be coming 212 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: back this week as well, And it still looks like 213 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Yamamoto is hoping to be able to return this season. 214 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: But in the short term, how excited are you to 215 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: see Kersh make his twenty twenty four debut. 216 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: Anytime you can get Clayton Kershaw back in the mound 217 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: for the Los Angeles Dodgers, it's a good damn time. 218 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 3: So Kershaw Day comes. It was the day I was 219 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: honestly hoping. 220 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 2: I kind of had it circled on the calendar last 221 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: week when they were talking about here's the opportunity. But 222 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: it's against the Giants, it's a day game at Dodger Stadium, 223 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: all of the key ingredients you want to a Clayton 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: Kershaw start. Now, it's not going to be like we 225 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 2: saw back in what was it twenty thirteen. He's not 226 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: going to hit the lone home run to keep the 227 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: dodge or give the Dodgers a win. He's probably not 228 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: going to pitch anywhere near a complete game. 229 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: Shout out. But the fact that it's finally positive health news. 230 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: It's it's positive news coming from the injured list, instead 231 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: of another guy getting hurt or another setback, or a 232 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: tornesophagus or an elbow thing or a shoulder. It's something 233 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: positive the Dodgers this week. Get Glass now back who 234 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: was very wink wink injured. Look more stroke I had 235 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: there than a wink, but he was very super injured. 236 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 2: But they get Glass now back, they get Kershaw back, 237 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 2: and things trending in the right direction to where maybe 238 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: maybe they don't need to go as crazy at the deadline. 239 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: Do you think do you think this week is kind 240 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: of the pivot point for this team and how they 241 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: attacked the deadline. 242 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: I had a conversation with Brandon Gomes, the vice president 243 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: of Baseball Operations and the general manager for the Los 244 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers, on our High Heat show a couple of 245 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: days ago, and I said, listen, I'm coming to you 246 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: as a fan right now. You guys have lost seven 247 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: of your last eight games. As far as a starter, 248 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: Eira is you know through the roof, It was like, 249 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, eight and a half. I don't remember 250 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: all the statistics at the moment, I said, but tell 251 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: me why I should feel confident that we have enough? 252 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: And I said we because whatever that we have enough 253 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: starting pitching. And he, you know, very diplomatically, God bless you, Clint, 254 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: very diplomatically said that they believe that they will do 255 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: what it takes to get what they need. But they 256 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: feel very confident in the guys that they do have 257 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: coming back. And I said, well what about balance, Like, Okay, 258 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: you assume these guys are coming back, but how do 259 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: we know that they're going to produce or they're not 260 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: going to have, you know, a bunch of rusts to 261 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: knock off and those types of things. And again, this 262 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: is a team that's very confident. And I do know 263 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: that Andre Friedman will go after what he has available 264 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: to do to give the team what they need. But 265 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: this is what makes me a little bit nervous tonight. 266 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: It's left hand or Blake Snell going up against possibly 267 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: River Ryan making his major league debut. Then you got 268 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks going up against land and Neck, and then 269 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: you have TVD going up against Glasnow. So we need 270 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: and I've said this time and time again, we need 271 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: more pitching. 272 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you look right now today, the first like 273 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: five guys that will be making starts for this team 274 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 2: coming out of the All Star break, that's not very good. 275 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 2: That is not a championship quality starting five. With all 276 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 2: due respect to guys like Justin Robleski and land and 277 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: Neck and you know, so forth James Paxton, who has 278 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: been there, done that as a major leaguer. 279 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 3: Those are just not the guys. 280 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 2: Those are not the guys that that instill well, that 281 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: put fear in the hearts of the enemy. And it's 282 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: still a lot of confidence. And people like us who 283 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: watch this team both as fans and as you know 284 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 2: media and all, that you need some help. You need 285 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: help internally, and they might need definitely need at least 286 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 2: one bit of help externally. And if it's gonna be somebody, 287 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: it's got to be more of a frontline person. We've 288 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: heard a lot about school, but we've heard a lot 289 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: about Garrett Crochet. But still need these guys to come 290 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: back and be healthy and produce, and then you get 291 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 2: into that whole thing where you have good problems to have. 292 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: If they stay healthy and they're good, then it's better 293 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: to have five guys that are potentially, you know, could 294 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: be starting game one, could be starting Game three in 295 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: a postseason series, or you move him to the bullpen, 296 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: and everybody finds they're kind of place to eat at 297 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 2: the table. 298 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: I think we want to get our guests in here too. 299 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: As everybody continues on Dodger's territory, here to get your 300 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: questions and Sammy Boyce Smith, I believe next year Lux 301 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: can be a zero points. There're a war guy this 302 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, I don't seem doing anything really. 303 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: Maybe Dodgers are gambling on his injury that was holding 304 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: him back. I mean we have we meaning you have 305 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: ripped apart Gavin Lux on the show. And now let's 306 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: give Gavin Lux some love because I don't know how 307 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: long it's gonna last, but he seems to have turned 308 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: a corner, you know, Pajes yesterday and then Gavin going 309 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: the other way. It was good to see. And he's 310 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: had a couple of a couple two three good games here, 311 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: So let's give him some love too. 312 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 313 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: Four to twenty nine with an OPS over fourteen hundred 314 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: over his last seven games, six of those being starts. 315 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: I like what Dave Roberts said on Sunday. Of course, 316 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: Roberts has championed Gavin Lucks over the course of the season, 317 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: given them give him a massive runway. They said initially 318 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: it was going to be one hundred and fifty at bats, 319 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: and now we're kind of into the three hundred at 320 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: bat territory and maybe once again Dodgers and Dave Roberts. 321 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: They are being rewarded for, you know, for their patients. 322 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: With some of these guys, you can. 323 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: Be patient when you have a big enough lead and 324 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: your division and all that kind of stuff. You're not 325 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: necessarily worried about this month. But you know what, props 326 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: to Gavin for kind of figuring some things out. You know, 327 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: he had mentioned to media after the game yesterday talking 328 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: about the mental side of the game, kind of being 329 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: an ass kicker to him. And I've argued that his 330 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: biggest enemy, his biggest problem as a big leaguer, is 331 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 2: always going to be himself, because he's going to beat 332 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: himself up, kind of kick himself when things don't go right. 333 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: And then he listens to people like me, probably too much. 334 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: And I understand that I get pissed when people have 335 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: something borderline negative, even borderline positive, don't talk nice about me. 336 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: Who do you think you are? 337 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: But anyways, you pay attention to that, and and you know, 338 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: it's got to be absolutely tough for somebody who never 339 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: had to struggle, you know, at any point coming up 340 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: as a professional, you know, playing high school ball in 341 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: Kenosha and all this kind of stuff. 342 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 3: But then it starts to snowball on you. 343 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: One one problem becomes another problem becomes an injury, and 344 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: everybody saying, like, why is this guy still here? Well, 345 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: the talent is in there. It's just maybe he just 346 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: needed a mental blow. That was the All Star break. 347 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: That was always my argument. I don't think he's done. 348 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: I've never thought he was done as a big leaguer. 349 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: It was more about let him get away, let him 350 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: kind of mentally reset for just a little bit. Colossal 351 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: jackbarsas he had an enormous runway, and you know sometimes 352 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: it takes you know, planes a little bit longer to 353 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: take off from that runway, I guess, But you know, 354 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: it's a good problem to have if Lux has figured 355 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: it out, and and a lot I want to know, 356 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: if you buy into a very small sample size, if 357 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: he's figured it out, that's a great problem to have. 358 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 3: For one. 359 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: Uh, when Mookie Betts eventually does come back, and if 360 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: Max Mountsy comes back, you have suddenly a good like 361 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 2: depth in your infield. But are you buying you know, 362 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: this version of Lucks we're seeing. 363 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: I again, I'm I'm still not ready to give up 364 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: on him. I mean, this is the Lux I thought 365 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: we could have. I'm going to need to see it 366 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: a lot more consistently, but I will say this, I 367 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: think the twenty twenty five Dodgers infield looks completely different 368 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: than it does right now. I mean, aside from Freddie 369 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: Freeman and Mookie Bets being somewhere in that infield, maybe not. 370 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't see that any of these guys are going 371 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: to be key factors, meaning the Leo Rojas's, the Mayel 372 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: Vargas is, the Maximunsey perhaps yes, because he's still under 373 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: contract and he's going to be healthy. But it's going 374 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: to be a very different looking particularly middle of the 375 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: infield next year for the Dodgers. But somebody on our 376 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: chat just made a good point, you know, like maybe 377 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: depending upon what the Dodgers really foresee as their need, 378 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: which it's a starting arm, hello, maybe Gavin Lex's trade 379 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: value goes up. I hate to see that for him. 380 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't want him to perform well just so he 381 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: gets traded and he's worth more. But you never know. 382 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to win now. The Dodgers have 383 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: to win now. They are not at the liberty and 384 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: do not have the luxury to They're not a rebuilding team. Ever, 385 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: every year they're supposed to reload, and nobody feels sorry 386 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: for a team that has that type of payrol and 387 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: those types of superstars and MVPs all the way over 388 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: the roster. Not you were too harsh. 389 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: I've been soft on the kid over the course of 390 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: my time covering him. I've been I've been hard, I've 391 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: been harsh, I've been soft, I've been everything under the sun. 392 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: I've interacted with him a number of times in the clubhouse, 393 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: you know, personally and all that. I like the kid, 394 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: and sometimes you just need a little tough love, I 395 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: guess at the big league level. But I also try 396 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 2: to avoid talking about him because I know how much 397 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: he does pay attention to stuff like this and it's 398 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 2: just not good for the mental health of for him 399 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: and his game in the long run. But we can't 400 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: not talk about it. If this is what you know 401 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 2: we're supposed to be doing here on the internet, I agree. 402 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: With you, all right. Another fan question for you here 403 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: on Dodgers territory is in regards to the screwball. So 404 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: if we all screw we can bring that one. Oh 405 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: my girl, all right, is anyone else impressed by the 406 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: screwball appearance thoughts. 407 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: Clint Brent Honeywell bringing back the old school, because if 408 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 2: you're a Dodger and you have honey on the back 409 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: of your jersey, I think you need to be able 410 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: to throw a screwball. 411 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken. 412 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: Rick Honeycut did have a decent screwball back in his day, 413 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: and unless I am mistaken, but Brent Honeywell, I don't 414 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: think we have a video of it, but it is 415 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: fun to see that in Brent Honeywell one of those guys, 416 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: you know, the Dodgers in dire straits when it comes 417 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: to injuries and all this kind of stuff. Pick him 418 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 2: up off the you know, the clearance rack from I 419 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: Believe you is with the Brewers, and so far you 420 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: know solid, you know, in small sample size with this team. 421 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: But anytime you can see a screwball, it's fun. It 422 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: is fun to see a screwball in in Dodger Blue. 423 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: I guess we'll say, is. 424 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: Screwball a ephis pitch or a knuckleball. 425 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 3: I love a good ephis. I mean, give me some. 426 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 2: In Dodger Blue with that sixty eight ephis him peeling 427 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: up the man to make the plays. 428 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: Oh that was a good time. 429 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 1: That a good time, all right, thank you for that, Grinky. 430 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I did not talk about 431 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: mcguil Rojas. We were talking about blue balls of getting 432 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys back. But your boy Maggey Rowe, 433 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: who you're constantly bringing flowers to, he left the game 434 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: with right form tightness. And typically when I hear that, 435 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: I think of a pitcher and I think Tommy John 436 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: So I hope that that is not the case for 437 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: McGill rojas. But they can ill afford to have Millgie 438 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: down for any extended period of time. With Mookie down, 439 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: Lux just trying to figure it out, Vargas not the 440 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: answer at third, Max still out. I mean, this is 441 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: not something that I don't think the Dodgers can sustain. 442 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is definitely uh well, Luckily Miggy 443 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: row isn't concerned. 444 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 3: He's not even slightly concerned. 445 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: But with how this season is gone, I immediately start 446 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: getting into that, Oh no, this is another one of 447 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: those things where. 448 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 3: It just really starts to fall apart. 449 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: But he said it was. 450 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: He was using like a heavier bath than he's used 451 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: to doing, like one hand drills, and I think it 452 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: just kind of agitated the forearm a little bit. He 453 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: is no spring chicken. So if he gets a day 454 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: or two off this week, I'm not terribly concerned. They 455 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 2: don't even want to send him out for imaging. Shouldn't 456 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: be a major issue. But if they don't, you know, 457 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 2: Biggie Row has to miss some time. Now we're talking 458 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 2: about being in a real, real bad spot in the infield. 459 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 3: You don't have a short stop. You really don't. 460 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 2: Keiky Hernandez, you know, great weekend, he had a very 461 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: nice weekend against the Red Sox as part of that sweep. 462 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: But still, Keith Hernandez is not a you know, it 463 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 2: wouldn't be a long term solution obviously at shortstop, but 464 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: still you need This is where you worry or you 465 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: wonder about them needing that extra piece, whether it's in 466 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 2: the infield, in the outfield, or both. 467 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 3: But you lose Miggy Roe, you're hurting, all right. 468 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: Key k Hernandez ties it up, of course in the ninth. 469 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: He singles in the tenth to tie it up, and 470 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: then he scores the winning run in the eleventh. And 471 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations to Kik on hitting ten years 472 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: at service. Time he has fully vested good for him. 473 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: That is incredibly hard to do. We'll be right back 474 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: after a word from ag one. 475 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 4: Crats here from FT, I wasn't feeling as focused as 476 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 4: I wanted to be and heard some buzz about ag one. 477 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 4: Since drinking ag one daily, I felt energized, locked in, 478 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 4: and ready to hit the day. 479 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: Bron here.

I don't know if you 518 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: saw Clint before we say goodbye. A couple of things 519 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: we wanted to address. Did you happen to see the 520 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: podcast between Mookie Bets and Kelly Jansen when the Red 521 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: Sox were obviously in LA and Kelly still lives there 522 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: in the off season, but we're in LA talking about 523 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Championship. 524 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw the clip for sure, I didn't see 525 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: the entire episode yet. By the way, Mookie bat shout out, 526 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: what can't he do also a podcast? Or maybe he 527 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 2: should join us on the show one of these days. 528 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: But of course the question, you know, brought up that 529 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: twenty twenty championship. Everybody who didn't win it wants to 530 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 2: call it mickey mouse. I just I just hear a 531 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: lot of sad. I hear a lot of tears from 532 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 2: people a lot. I want you to riff on this. 533 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 3: I've talked a lot about this the twenty twenty Championship 534 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: over the years. I want I want your thoughts. 535 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: This goes up my ass sideways when people say that 536 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: it twenty twenty was a Mickey Mouse championship. First of all, 537 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: as far as I remember, every single team all thirty 538 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: played sixty games, right, It wasn't just the Dodgers that 539 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: played sixty and everybody else played one hundred and sixty two. 540 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: And I tell you what, I traveled with this team. 541 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: I was in the bubble in Texas for two weeks 542 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: or however long we were there. Yeah, I would argue 543 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: that it is harder to win in a pandemic than 544 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: it is in a non pandemic year. The way that 545 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: they had to be quarantined and do everything in a 546 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: completely different way that year versus any other year, I 547 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: would venture to say is harder. Every single team had 548 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: the same rules, every single team had the same amount 549 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: of games, every single team had the same restrictions. So 550 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it if this was let's say, 551 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, Yankees fans are upset about this, or Giants 552 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: fans or Astros fans or whomever. If your team won 553 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: the championship in that year, you'd have the complete opposite opinion. 554 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear an asterisk is next 555 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: to the Dodgers twenty twenty championship. I don't want to 556 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: hear it because it was this. We were lucky to 557 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: have a season in twenty twenty, so the fact that 558 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: we even had baseball play. I remember every single time 559 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: the team was on the road, I was at Dodger Stadium. 560 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: We were broadcasting in a pitch black Dodger Stadium. The 561 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: only booths that were on were Mine, Joe, and Oral, 562 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: and then the radio booths both English and Spanish. The 563 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: rest of the stadium was pitch black when they were 564 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: on the road, and you walk out into the parking 565 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: lot and pitch black stadium with no fans at Dodger Stadium. 566 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: That was nuts. So to do everything that they had 567 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: to do win it in sixty games in a bubble 568 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: in Texas, I would venture to say that that is harder. 569 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: And again, any fan from any other team, if your 570 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: team was the champion in twenty twenty, you'd be saying 571 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: the exact same thing. 572 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: So stop yeah, yeah, no, I agree, And I think 573 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: that was one of the things Kenley said. It's like, 574 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: if anything, I would argue it was harder. Everybody made 575 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: the postseason that year. You had an extra round to 576 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: kind of make it through. But I agree with what 577 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 2: you're saying. Everybody had they started from the same exact 578 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: starting point, all going to trying to reach that end point, 579 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: which is, you know, raising the piece of metal at 580 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: the end of the season. 581 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 3: The Dodgers did it right. Twenty twenty was right. 582 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 2: I had this argument with people from time to time 583 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: where I say, I fully take this twenty twenty World 584 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 2: Series Championship to be fully legitimate, and I look at 585 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: the Lakers Bubble championship that year. I don't look at 586 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: that one with the same legitimacy because there was an 587 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 2: old Lakers team and yeah, that was his Lakers territory. 588 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: There's an old Lakers team that got a long break 589 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: in towards the end of their season and then got 590 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: a short ramp up and then got into their bubble 591 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 2: the NBA Championship in twenty Yeah, the Lakers won it. 592 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: That's awesome. We love that here in Los Angeles. But 593 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: everybody had started from the same exact starting point in MLB, 594 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: and that's why it will always be a legitimate, fully 595 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: legitimate World Series. 596 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: Championsiship that year sucked because the fans got jypped of 597 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: the parade for the Dodgers and they got jipped for 598 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: the parade for the Lakers in the same season. That'll 599 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: probably never happen again where both teams win it in 600 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: the same year. 601 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 3: All right. 602 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: Scott Bron, of course, main host on foul Territory, had 603 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: to comment, we're gonna get this coming in, but we 604 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: also want you guys to continue to get your comment 605 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: because we're gonna have a ton of trade talk on 606 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: our next show on Thursday.
