1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Win ninety games. They could one hundred and twenty games.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. They have to win once they get

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: to October. And I think health is the first ingredient

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: that you got to have.

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: I remember when Clint and I were allowed to pick

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: the music for our show and I heard this and

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: I was like, this is it and he agreed with me,

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: and it never gets old.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: I love it.

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: Hello everybody, and welcome to another live edition of Dodgers

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: Territory on this Monday afternoon. Alongside Clint Psius, we are

Speaker 3: We appreciate it.

Speaker 2: Check us out on YouTube, of course, Apple, Spotify, wherever

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: you get your podcast. Clint, it's great to see we're

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: coming down to the wire.

19
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: My friend. All Star break is next week.

20
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: But before we get to that and the Dodgers six

21
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: All Stars, let's talk about the need at hand of

22
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: what this team means. We know they're going to win

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: the division, right, they're going to win over one hundred games,

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: but they're still not complete.

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: Do they need well, they.

26
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: Need help, and I guess we should probably get into

27
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: the big ticket. I don't know if we wanted the

28
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 4: front end on and out, we could we could we

29
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 4: could just trudge forward, let's have some fun with it.

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 4: They need some help, they need some guys, they need

31
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: some in field help. They might need an outfielder. I

32
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: think they need a starting pitcher, Alana. I think that's

33
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: one of those things you nailed very very early in

34
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: the season, was the need for one more pitcher, maybe

35
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: one more starter. Maybe this team needs to I don't

36
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: think they need to. Where do you stand with what

37
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: two more series before All Star Break?

38
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna have Joe Davis on the program momentarily

39
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: in about three four minutes, so we'll certainly ask the

40
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: play by play voice of the Dodgers and National Baseball

41
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: on Fox what he thinks the Dodgers need to do.

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: But let's get into the big ticket. I do think

43
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: that we need a starter. But on top of that, Clint,

44
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: I think we need a starter, a frontline starter. I

45
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: also think that we need some bottom of the order help,

46
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: whether that's you know, it's another bat, you know, the

47
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: middle of the infield. I'm not as concerned about anymore.

48
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: I think the Max Munsey injury is an issue. You

49
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: always want the starting pitching. I you always want good

50
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: bullpen help. But I think moreover, it's you look at

51
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: what the Dodgers did in the last couple of series,

52
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: and they just looked flat. They looked flat to me.

53
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: And again we talked about not a lot of series,

54
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Clint that were circled on the calendar anymore, except for

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: the upcoming series with the Philadelphia Phillies.

56
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in just a second.

57
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: But it almost as if is as if they played

58
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: down to the competition.

59
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's felt like that, particularly these last three series.

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: And overall I had the numbers before the Brewer series,

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: and I think the Dodgers were like thirty and seventeen. No, no, no,

62
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: it was close. They're basically playing five hundred ball for

63
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: their last thirty eight games. That's what it was. They

64
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: were playing about five hundred ball. Just looks like a

65
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 4: team that is in need at a little spark right now.

66
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: Looked like a team that was in need of a

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: little bit of break. But the last three series, you

68
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: lose one to the Giant, you lose one of the Diamondbacks.

69
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: Both teams not that they're not playing you know up

70
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: to what we expected of out of them entering the season,

71
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: and the Brewers in first place in the NL Central.

72
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: You play up to that competition, you feel good, You

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: feel better. You know, the horses were lined up a

74
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 4: little bit there. Tyler glasnow gives up the Grand Slam,

75
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: but still plays the stopper the team needed. But really

76
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: it screams like it's a team that needs a break,

77
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: and they also need as you mentioned, you need Max

78
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: Munzi back. It's still a team playing without Mookie Bets,

79
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: without Yoshinoba Yammamoto, without you know, Gavin Lux hitting. There's

80
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: a lot of those little problems. The fact that they

81
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 4: are as good as they are just tell you how

82
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: good the Los Angeles Dodgers are. But still very much

83
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: feels to me like a team that needs a break

84
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 4: right now.

85
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're also bringing up guys that you

86
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't normally bring up unless you add absolutely necessity to.

87
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: Maybe they're just playing the schedule game. Maybe they're just

88
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: playing like we need to give guys a blow game.

89
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: But you have a you know, a guy making his

90
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: major league debut, you know, two weeks before the All

91
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: Star Game or a week and a half before the

92
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: All Star Game.

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: I mean, he's basically wearing a tight end number there,

94
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: you know. And again I get it, the.

95
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Dodgers have a pretty strong lead in the division. But

96
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: you have Rabeleski that I don't even know if I'm

97
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: saying that correctly.

98
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: Verbleski.

99
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: You know, you have him come up and face a good,

100
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: you know, a postseason team in the Milwaukee Brewers, and

101
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: you know he.

102
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: Got his cuts a little bit.

103
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: I mean, he did a decent job, I guess for

104
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: his his major league debut.

105
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: But I mean, are we forced to bring.

106
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: Up guys too early now because we just don't have

107
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: the depth? I mean, is this a glaring is this

108
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: obvious that we don't have the depth, or is this

109
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: just you know what, let's just give this guy a chance.

110
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: Let's give everybody else a blow.

111
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

112
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a it's a combination of a little

113
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: bit of everything. I feel. You don't expect Justin Robleski

114
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: to be making his major league debut on a Sunday

115
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: against the Brewers just before the All Star break, but

116
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: that's where the Dodgers decided they want to go. Hey,

117
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: maybe it was a little bit of a showcase telling

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: other teams. This guy could be available to your team

119
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 4: at the trade deadline. We know again this team has

120
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: some needs. All good teams add to their teams, all

121
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: good championship teams add to their teams at the All

122
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: Star break. But it's definitely not what this team drew up.

123
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: And this is kind of an indicator of not even

124
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: an indicator. It's where the cards, you know, how they

125
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: were dealt for this season, losing Yamamoto, Bueler not really

126
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 4: working out. I'll say it again, the fact that the

127
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know where this team would be

128
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: without Gavin Stone's emergence. Landon Knack at time has looked

129
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 4: a little exposed. But still, if Robleski is making, you know,

130
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: starts for you on the regular, I'm a little concerned,

131
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: and by a little, I mean a lot.

132
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's going to be making starts

133
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: on the regular.

134
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it does depend on where we're

135
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: at with Walker, Bueller's health, where Clayton is when he

136
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: comes back. I mean, how effective Bobby Miller can get

137
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: to be again. Tyler glas now is about to hit

138
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: his innings limit of what he hit last year. So

139
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: I mean you're you're thinking about that, Like, again, congratulations

140
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: All Star birth.

141
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a hot second.

142
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: But you know, even really good teams Clinton need help,

143
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: right The one hundred and eight win Red Sox team

144
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen that ended up going on to win

145
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: the World Series and beat the Dodgers. They added Nathan

146
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: Evaldi and Pierce to win that, and Nathan Evaldi arguably

147
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: wasn't even a starter. He comes out of the pen

148
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: and shoves it down the Dodger's throat. He was the

149
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: MVP of the twenty and eighteen World Series. I mean,

150
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: the amount of innings and time that that guy ate up,

151
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: you know, was unbelievable in the success of the two

152
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: thousand and and I don't think that the Dodgers were a.

153
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: Better team in eighteen. I really don't. I'm not surprised

154
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: that the Red Sox won. I do think the Dodgers

155
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: should have won in twenty seventeen, just based on talent

156
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: and other obvious reasons. But I think the Red Sox

157
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: were better.

158
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: You know, Steve Pierce was the World Series MVP out

159
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 2: of freakin nowhere.

160
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: No.

161
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: I mean, like I even forgot about the.

162
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: Guy that proved to be game changers. Look at what

163
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: happened with uh was Atlanta and Eddie Rosario. You know,

164
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: you find these guys Atlanta, Jack Peterson. You find these

165
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: guys sometimes who aren't your organization right now, and I'm

166
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: hoping maybe whoever can get these big time hits that

167
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: prove to be different makers, difference makers in the postseason,

168
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: maybe they're not in the organization right now. And that's

169
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: that's what makes this time of year so much fun.

170
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: You know, you can go out the team kind of

171
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: the world is its oyster right now. We know the

172
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: Dodgers have all the money in the world to get

173
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: a move done. They have all the prospect capital in

174
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: the world to get some moves done. And that's the thing, moves.

175
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: It's not just one thing. They're also in this precarious

176
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: spot too, where you know you mentioned Kershaw. I don't

177
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: think people talk enough about somebody like Dustin May, who

178
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: could be you know, starter, he could be another bullpen option,

179
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: Bruce Dargratorol, somebody who's making his way back. Joe Kelly,

180
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: like bullpen is kind of there. You have some starting

181
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: pitching options, you have Mookie Betts coming back, you might

182
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: have much Max Munsey back, So it's kind of do

183
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: you just tread water? Where do you make the additions?

184
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: I do not. I'm grateful I'm not Andrew Freeman and

185
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: Brandon Gomes right now, because like the wheels having to

186
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: constantly turn at this time of years, it's got to

187
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: be it's got to be a nightmare just being home.

188
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: I would hate to be their wives too, being home

189
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: around all of that.

190
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: Well, not for nothing, there's no clear cut pitcher this year, right,

191
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: there's so many teams that are still in the hunt

192
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: with that third wildcard in each league that you don't know,

193
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: based on a day to day situation, whether you're going

194
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: to be buying or selling. I mean, unless you are

195
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: the Colorado Rockies, the Chicago White Sox or who else

196
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: is brutal this year, the Oakland A's or whatever you know,

197
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: and you know, yeah the Marlins, thank you, that's the

198
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: other team you know that your sellers. There's so many

199
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: other teams that legitimately can make the postseason. Then you

200
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: have to decide, Okay, we're here, are we going for

201
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: it or are we not going for it? And then

202
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: if you don't go for it, then you're upsetting your

203
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: fan base. If you do go for it and then

204
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: you don't, and then you're screwing the pooch on. Perhaps

205
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: you're you know, your farm system, or you know you're

206
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: depleting that.

207
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with you.

208
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't envy that situation as all at all. Bart

209
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: Burnside says, you need third base. Monsey won't be back.

210
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: I hate, I hate to think that he might be right.

211
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: Obliques are such a disaster. And I tell you what,

212
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: And we had Max Munsey on foul Territory and one

213
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: of the questions that was asked of him was, you know,

214
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: what do you think you bring to the table. And

215
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: I thought his answer was really good and it was

216
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,359
Speaker 2: not a braggadocious answer, but he was very thoughtful.

217
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: In what he said.

218
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: He's like, I just work counts, right, I work the

219
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: count I give you a professional at bat. I forced

220
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: the opposition to throw a ton of pitches, you know,

221
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: to help get the starter out of the ballgame.

222
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: And he does.

223
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Max Munsey, even when he wasn't hitting and

224
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: he was below average, he was still getting on base.

225
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the patience was there, the walk rate was there,

226
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: and you're missing that though, and now it messes up

227
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: the rest of your lineup in terms of the order,

228
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: and I do think that's a massive hole. And who

229
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: would have thought that we would have been talking about,

230
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we need Max Mounsey bat. And it's

231
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: not so much Max Monsey at third base defensively, which

232
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: he has certainly improved upon, don't get me wrong, But

233
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: it's what Max Munsey does to you in or does

234
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: for you in the box that is critical. And that's

235
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: what they're lacking right now. So I think third baseman

236
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: Justin Turner come home, or getting you know, or and

237
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: and or not even or and getting a frontline starter

238
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: to compliment what I don't even know what the heck

239
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: our rotation is going to be in the postseason.

240
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,479
Speaker 3: There's so many.

241
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: Question marks in terms of health and how many bullets

242
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: do these guys have?

243
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the good thing on like the Yamamoto front.

244
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: You know, they say he's up to throwing some plios,

245
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: he's supposed to pick up a baseball. I think towards

246
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: the end half of this week still you're a long

247
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: way away from that. You still got the shoulder that

248
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 4: you are worried about what happens if it gives again

249
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: Sometime late in September and oh shit, I just missed

250
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: my opportunity at the deadline to make a big addition.

251
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: And we also talk a lot about somebody like, you know,

252
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 4: Glas now in the innings issue that one of the

253
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 4: other big names that's been linked to the team a

254
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 4: whole bunch, Garrett Crochet. He's a he's got arguably even

255
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: worse innings issues. So there's a lot of little pieces

256
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: to navigate through that I think they can manage through

257
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: the pitching, it wouldn't be pretty, definitely would not be pretty.

258
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 4: And we've seen this team get beat on the pitching

259
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: issues over the last three postseasons. But not having Max Muntsey,

260
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: not having that guy right smack dab in the middle

261
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: of your lineup, a professional at bat. By the way,

262
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 4: he drops in thirty five home runs every year, that's

263
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: a full season that he's fully healthy or healthy ish

264
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 4: he drops he you know, thirty five home runs. You're

265
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: missing that from the lineup, You're missing. I think one

266
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: of the things he told you guys on foul was,

267
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 4: you know, he lets other guys be themselves, and that's

268
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: something that's kind of missing. That's definitely something this team

269
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: is missing. Him and with Mookie Betts.

270
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: Because everyone's like Garrett Kroschet, Garrettkrosche, Garrett Crochet.

271
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: But Garrett Crochet is on an innings limit. He very

272
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: well could be.

273
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: And the longer this goes where he's not traded by

274
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: the time that you need him the most in the postseason,

275
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: he may have to be shut down.

276
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: Let's talk to Joe Davis about that.

277
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Of course, who joins us now here on Dodgers Territory,

278
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: the play by play man, a good friend of ours,

279
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: of course for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Ports of LA.

280
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: He's also oh.

281
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 4: Blank, my man, what's up?

282
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: Hi?

283
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: Hi sweetheart? How are you?

284
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

285
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so good to see you. Please tell Charlotte

286
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 3: and THEO that we said hello.

287
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: So Joe also, of course, the national voice of MLB

288
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: on Fox, joins us now and thanks for taking the time.

289
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 2: I love I love that you're you're a dad and uh,

290
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: first of all, I can't believe you have three now.

291
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: But anyway, I can't believe Charlotte is seven, But that's

292
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: besides the point.

293
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: Or she's eight, that's even worse. Besides the point. What

294
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: is sweet? What a sweet? I love it? So tell

295
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: them all.

296
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: I said, hello, and THEO just getting uh getting baptized

297
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: Theodore Oral. I mean, we got to talk about that too,

298
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: But let's talk about the situation. The Dodgers need Joe

299
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: with starting pitching. I would like for them to get

300
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: a frontline starter. You know, Garrett Crochet keeps coming up

301
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: in the conversation, but I'm not certain that that's the

302
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: best fit, just because because of the amount that he

303
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: has thrown and may not.

304
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: Be able to.

305
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I tend to agree with you, and like it'd

306
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: be awesome if they got him right, but I don't

307
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: know that they should get him banking on him being

308
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: the answer to whatever questions they feel like they have

309
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: for this year. If you get him and say anything

310
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: we get this year, awesome and obviously have two years

311
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: of control, that's what we're getting him for. Fine, great,

312
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: But I think that probably, Yeah, you would want a

313
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: sure thing just given the reason that you need pitching

314
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: is because you have questions with what you currently have

315
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: And while Crochet is amazing if he's available, they're built

316
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: in questions with him.

317
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 4: Too, So you need pitching, you need some infield help.

318
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: I like the shirt we we got Blake Dresser white

319
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: the right way, you know. Question on the kiddos, is

320
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: Charlotte still all princessed out? Is she grown out of it?

321
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: Or is she still fully leaning into it?

322
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Charlotte's like princesses or.

323
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: No?

324
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, more art and Harry Potter and yeah, she's

325
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: grown out of the princess phased a little bit, but

326
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: she's still a princess.

327
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: Well, we love to know that much. Has Joe Davis

328
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 4: grown out of the barbecue area or era of his life?

329
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: Or yeah, what's that situation like in the backyard now there, Joe.

330
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: It's uh, this being a busy timey or of course, Clint,

331
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't get as much of it in, but I

332
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: do anytime I can. We actually moved to a new

333
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: house a couple of months ago, and so I lost

334
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: my out door kitchen. I still have my still have

335
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: my big green egg. It's just kind of sitting by itself,

336
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: old school style. I need to well, well, eventually it's

337
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: part of renovation. Get another outdoor kitchen put in and

338
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: that'll give me more excuses to get back to doing

339
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: it a little more consistently.

340
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

341
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: Brady Quinn gave you the best gift you've ever been

342
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: given is the green egg? Not to mention what Libby

343
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: gave you as three gorgeous kids. But that's fine, that's

344
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: for another time. What's the biggest need, Joe?

345
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: Is it?

346
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: Is it third base? It's Max Munsey comes back? Is

347
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: it a starter? Is it a bullpen piece? Is it

348
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: a bottom of the order bat? You've watched the team

349
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: very closely.

350
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: What do you think.

351
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: I think it's another bat. I do think that they

352
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: and again I know that there are questions with the pitching.

353
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I think that there are enough options where you're going

354
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: to wind up with a pretty darn good rotation knock

355
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: on wood, assuming that a few of those options are healthy,

356
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: and I think you can make a pretty safe bet

357
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a few good options to choose from

358
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: in October. That's not to say you don't go and

359
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: supplement the rotation. I think they probably will try to

360
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: do that. There's not a ton out there. I think

361
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: that's the other part of the conversation that we've not

362
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: talked about. Part of the reason you keep hearing Garrett

363
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Crochet even with the questions there is because he clearly

364
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: is the best guy who is definitely going to be

365
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: a team that is definitely a seller, right, So like

366
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: just the market is dictator that the conversation I think

367
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: steers towards a bat and you get healthy in the lineup.

368
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: That's going to help the domino effect of like you

369
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: guys have talked about Mookie and Luncy coming back into

370
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: the lineup. But I do think you said bottom of

371
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: the order bat Alanta. I I think he maybe even

372
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: aim a little bit higher. I think that they consider

373
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: themselves the favorite and as they should. And you know

374
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Andrew Friedman, I got he aimed Todd right. He goes

375
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: big game hunting when it comes to the deadline. So

376
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I think you cast as wide and ed as you

377
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: can to find the best hitter or two that you can,

378
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: and it winds up helping the bottom of the lineup

379
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: because of the domino effect from plugging a top tier

380
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: guy in there with the other top tier guys.

381
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: So one of the top tier guys has been spending

382
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 4: a couple of days with you and Oral in the booth,

383
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: mister Marcus Lynn Betts. Is this another thing that MOOKI

384
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: is great at being in the booth Because the last

385
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: couple of broadcasts are particularly Sunday. That was a lot

386
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: of fun listening in. I can you listening in on

387
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: the conversation too, between you know, two guys who love

388
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 4: talking ball to each other, just talk a little bit

389
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: about Mooky there in the booth.

390
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been fun. He the first time first day was, Hey,

391
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: Mookie's gonna come in and do a half inning with

392
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: you guys. That was what last Wednesday. And then about

393
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: two hours before he comes on my phone rings it's Mookie,

394
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: said what's up? And he said, Hey, I'm thinking like

395
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: three or four Indians. And I was like, okay, well,

396
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: just so you know, if you're doing three or four innings,

397
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: I'm not interviewing you for three or four innings, so

398
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to be like an analyst. He said, cool,

399
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: sounds great. So he comes and does it. I think

400
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: he enjoyed it. Phone rings the next day, Hey, you're

401
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: gonna be there this weekend? Yeah, all right, I'm gonna

402
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: come do it again. And he came in planning. I

403
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: don't know what his plan was, but after a few

404
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: innings or and I were like, hey, you like, you

405
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: can stay as long as you want, and he's like,

406
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: I'm having a blast so we wound up, as we

407
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: said at the ninth inning, pitching a complete game there

408
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: in a second game in the broadcast booth.

409
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

410
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: A what a talented guy, and obviously feels very comfortable

411
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: with you too. And let's talk about the chemistry in

412
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: a booth because it's so important. Obviously you have great

413
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: admiration and respect for one of your closest friends. Obviously

414
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: Orl herscheis. Are you and your beautiful wife Libby named

415
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: your third child? He has, you know, THEO has Orl's

416
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: middle name. And can you speak to the synergy that

417
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: comes with a friend in the booth and somebody that

418
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: you guys just kind of finish each other's sentences. And

419
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 2: there's just an I mean broadcasting and what you do

420
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: with such a skill and such a talent. It's something

421
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: special though when you have a broadcast partner that just

422
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: just makes it seamless.

423
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the number one reason I love the job

424
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: and the number one reason it's gone well is that

425
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: he has He deserves the credit on him, right, you know,

426
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: as well as I do alone. And nobody is more

427
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: caring and thoughtful about other people than oral has. That

428
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: funny picture right there, dude, and he Yeah, he's a

429
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: best friend. He's like an uncle, he's like a brother,

430
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: he's like a grandfather figure to my kids. He's a mentor.

431
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: He's outside of my own direct family, my parents and

432
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: my family here at home. He's the most important person

433
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: in my life. And to have him be my broadcast partner,

434
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: I think that people enjoy listening to us because of

435
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: that foundation. I like that raw material you can't create.

436
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: I think it's a once in a lifetime kind of

437
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: chemistry that we're so lucky to have.

438
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got Bulldog in there. You add Eric Carros

439
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 4: and the chemistry is there. Of course that already kind

440
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: of pours over from from some uh from Fox Games

441
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 4: and all of that, getting Dontrelle Willison there, Jessica Mendoza

442
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 4: the booth. Dodgers fans are so blessed, so lucky. But

443
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 4: we're also very lucky because there's a through line there,

444
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: and that is Joe Davis year nine. Did you think

445
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 4: you'd get this far being here as long as the

446
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 4: manager as well? How do you feel about year nine

447
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles with the Dodgers?

448
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: It is blown by I can't say I didn't think

449
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: I would be here this long. I can't say I did.

450
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: I honestly went in not like I guess, a little

451
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: bit cliche, like just trying to survive each day and

452
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: trying to be as good as I could each day

453
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: and see where it took me. But it has blown by.

454
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: To look now and say, nine years that have been

455
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: in that chair, it's a pretty special thing. I can't

456
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: imagine what my life would be, what our life would

457
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: be as a family, if I hadn't taken this shot.

458
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 3: Well, the Dodgers are so lucky to have you. I

459
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: can say that from personal experience.

460
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 2: I always tell you every time I see you on

461
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: TV how proud I am of you, And I mean

462
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: that you're a superstar, but you're you earned it every

463
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: second of this and anybody that doesn't think so needs

464
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: to recognize. You have seen obviously all the other big guns.

465
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers are a big gun. But you've

466
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: had a look at the Phillies, You've seen the Yankees,

467
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: You've seen you know what the Orioles can do. How

468
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: do the Dodgers best those teams in the postseason when

469
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: it matters most.

470
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: I think that I have to get healthy. They right now, like,

471
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, we look and see that they're playing just

472
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: a little better than five hundred ball the last two months.

473
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of what they've been, right Like for a

474
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: couple of months. They've been spectacular at times, with spectacular

475
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: players at the top of the order and the rotation

476
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: and the back end of the bullpen. But like you

477
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: look at the back half of the lineup since an

478
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: apologies for THEO whose cries are probably echoing through the

479
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: house here at this point, but you look at the

480
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: back half of the lineup, you look at all these

481
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: guys having a debut in the starting rotation. It kind

482
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: of is what it is right now. They're not as

483
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: good as the Phillies. They're not as good as the

484
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Yankees or the Orioles right now. When they're healthy, they

485
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: are I think when they're fully healthy, they're probably the

486
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: best team. So they got to get healthy and then man,

487
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: you get into you get into October. As we've seen.

488
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: The hell thing, yeah, is the biggest foundation of it.

489
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: But nothing that happens during the regular season applies once

490
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: you get into October. So they could win nine games,

491
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: it could win one hundred and twenty games. It doesn't matter.

492
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: They have to win once they get to October, and

493
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: I think health is the first ingredient that you got

494
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: to have. With that health, you're going to have a

495
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: more legitimate lineup of starting pitchers than they had last year.

496
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: That was the biggest reason that things ended quickly. And

497
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: I know you can look and say they didn't score,

498
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: but I think that something can be said for the

499
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: five run deficits. The offense was faced in each night

500
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: before they even stepped in the box, probably altering the

501
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: way things were going to go. So health, health would

502
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: be the number one thing. And that's not groundbreaking stuff.

503
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: I guess any team can say that, but that'd be

504
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: my answer for the Dodgers.

505
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, health and playing the good ball at the right

506
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: time last one for me.

507
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 3: And I'll let Clint close it out. Joe, is this

508
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: upcoming Philly's Dodgers.

509
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: Series as big as Dodgers Yankees was about a month ago?

510
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: Just as a measuring stick. I know that sounds cliche,

511
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: but you know, I'm interested in this series. I wasn't

512
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: super interested in Giants and Diamondbacks, but I'm interested in this.

513
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to say obviously no, because I'm sitting

514
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: here in Pasadena. I'm not in Philadelphia. No, it's not

515
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: as big of a deal because I'll get fomo if

516
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: it is. No, it'd be fun, I think, honestly, just

517
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: like bias aside, because I'm biased to that other one

518
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: because I did it. I do think the Yankees series

519
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: there's something extra special to it one because the teams

520
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: were better versions of themselves than Yamamoto is part of

521
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: the Dodgers going to that series. I know Soto missed

522
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: the weekend, but we didn't know that until hours before

523
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: that series began, so you had all this hype and

524
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: build up around it. Phillies right now without a few

525
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: of their best players. I don't know. Maybe I'm talking

526
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: myself into this series, not me Dodgers Yankee series, but no,

527
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: it's it's great. I think it's a It's a really

528
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: good way for them to it's going to the going

529
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: to the All Star break right they. I think that

530
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: it helps to have this this trigger to to kind

531
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: of push you through the final week when some teams

532
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: you can see going to Lowells. Dodgers have a really

533
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: good track record of playing well all going into the break.

534
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: I think a big series like this can can help

535
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: keep you from kind of falling asleep going into the break.

536
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 4: So min my final is going to be kind of

537
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 4: a two parter because like most people watch the rich

538
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: eyesend interviews. Great appreciate you opening yourself up to fans

539
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: the way you did. So Part one is where's the

540
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: bear in proximity to you right now? And two, now

541
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 4: that you've been doing the national guy, you know gig

542
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 4: for a hot minute, not that you weren't before, but

543
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 4: you know, you take the booth from you know, take

544
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: it but from Joe Buck. Anyways, you're there. Everybody's got

545
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: an opinion about Joe Davis. Now how do you handle

546
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 4: the criticism that comes with that? And what's you know,

547
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 4: the advice for the next wave of broadcasters.

548
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: The bear is a casualty of the move. It's in

549
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: a box somewhere somewhere. I don't know exactly where. It's

550
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: not in the office right here. I can tell you

551
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: that the criticism, the way you handle it is you

552
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: don't read it. So I'm pretty much off social media

553
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: ignorance is bliss, I guess, And I don't know, Like

554
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: if I just try to do the job the best

555
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: I can, I try to to prep hard and I

556
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: try to have fun when I'm on the air and

557
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: hopefully bring people some enjoyment when they watch the games,

558
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: And I got it. They can criticize, like I think.

559
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: I sometimes think of it this way. Like music, Right,

560
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: you can say, like pick your favorite artists who is

561
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: unquestionable no matter who you answer, one of the most

562
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: talented people in the world at that job, and you

563
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: can find a million people who think they sink right.

564
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: So like, I just think that broadcasting is similar where

565
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: not everybody's gonna like you, right, People like different things

566
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: in they're broadcasters in different sounds. But all I can

567
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: control is doing the job the best way I know

568
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: I can. And there are certain things that I think

569
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: are non negotiables when it comes to doing the job

570
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: the right way, and I try to hold myself accountable

571
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: to do those things, and hopefully over time people can

572
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: more and more people can can like it, and hopefully

573
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: there are a few that like it.

574
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: Right now, Joe Davis, you are in this for a

575
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: very very long haul, and Dodgers fans have no idea

576
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: maybe they do how lucky they.

577
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: Are to have you.

578
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: We appreciate you taking the time. I know you're not

579
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: flying with the team to Philly. They're flying today. Enjoy

580
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: the family, thanks for being with us, and my best

581
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: to you.

582
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Will talk soon, okay, guys, always good to talk to you,

583
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: all right.

584
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: Joe Davis play by play on Sports and LA and

585
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: of course on National Baseball on Fox. Let's take a

586
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: minute to hear from our friends Eric Kratz and Scott

587
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: Braun on ag one.

588
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 5: Krats here from FT. I wasn't feeling as focused as

589
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: I wanted to be and heard some buzz about ag One.

590
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: Since drinking ag one daily, I've felt energized, locked in,

591
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: and ready to hit the day.

592
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 6: Broun here. That's because ag one is a foundational nutrition

593
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 6: supplement that supports your bodi's universal needs like gut optimization,

594
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 6: stress management, and immune support. Since twenty ten, ag One

595
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 6: has led the future of foundational nutrition, continuously refining their

596
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 6: formula to create a better, smarter way to elevate your

597
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 6: baseline health.

598
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 5: Crats.

599
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 6: Not only did I replace my multivitamin with ag one,

600
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 6: but I love that every scoop also includes prebiotics, probiotics,

601
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 6: and digestive enzymes for gut support. That's a big deal

602
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 6: for me.

603
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 5: I recommend ag one to famin friends because it's tested

604
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: for nine hundred and fifty contaminants and NSF certified.

605
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: For sport crats.

606
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 6: We're both traveling a lot too, and those travel packs

607
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 6: are clutch. I drink ag one daily to support gut

608
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 6: health so that we can dominate the day. So if

609

Speaker 2: Nana's not under Guidry's guardian right now, but somebody reached out.

623
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 2: In fact, Andrea Puig Yasiel Puig's former girlfriend, reached out

624
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: to me. This is Nala, who is in Silmar County

625
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: or Silmar California, and the family is going to take

626
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: her to a high kill shelter because they're moving and

627
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: don't want to take them don't want to take Nala

628
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: with them.

629
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: That to me is a horrific excuse.

630
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: There's other ways to handle this situation, and they're well

631
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: aware that if she's taken to a high kill shelter,

632
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: she probably will not make it out alive. So Andrea,

633
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: who's a wonderful human and big into adoption as well,

634
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: reached out to me to see if we could help.

635
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: So.

636
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: She is a two year old husky, she's good with kids,

637
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 2: she's beautiful, she's healthy. She needs a forever home or

638
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: she does not stand much of a chance in the

639
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: shelter system. So visit us at guidrisguardian dot org reach

640

00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: She's a beautiful girl.

644
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: don't shop before I let you go. Let's talk about

645
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: what Joe Davis was talking about. As far as the Phillies,

646
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm psyched about. I mean, yes, I know they don't

647
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: have Harper, I know they don't have Schwarbert, it's not

648
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: the same, but you know, or without Mookie or without Muncie.

649
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: So I'm excited about this series.

650
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: Because the Phillies are really, really, really I think the

651
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: Phillies this year are better than the Phillies were last year.

652
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they've you know, they got experienced, more experienced

653
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 4: under their belt. They don't like the taste that was

654
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 4: left in their mouth last postseason for sure, just like

655
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 4: the Dodgers don't. The thing I really like about this

656
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: series and yeah, there's the potential to get Bryce Harper back.

657
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 4: They might get Schwarber back, both these guys in time

658
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 4: for the series, because, like Mookie said, every other teams

659
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 4: World Series is against the Dodgers, and they want to

660
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: play the Dodgers. Well, they want to beat the Dodgers.

661
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 4: You know, they understand two of the best teams in

662
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 4: the National League.

663
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Here.

664
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 4: What I'm looking forward to, though, is seeing guys like

665
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: we're gonna see what Bobby Miller's actually made out of

666
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: this year. He's made you know, he's had three starts

667
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 4: now coming off the shoulder. He should be better. He

668
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 4: should be in line to give this team, you know,

669
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: some some f U innings against a powerhouse in the

670
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 4: National League, and realistically he's playing for potential postseason you know,

671
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 4: roster spot. If everybody else comes back healthy, they make

672
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 4: a move, all that kind of stuff, you can get

673
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: pushed out. Another one, Gavin Stone. I've been super high

674
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 4: on Gavin Stone all year. Now he gets a chance

675
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: to really really face off. We've seen it against what

676
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 4: he had a great game against the Yankees. He got

677
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: to see it again against the Phillies. So it is fun.

678
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: And this is one of those measuring stick series. You know,

679
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: you wish it was more of a weekend, but you know,

680
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: the schedule didn't line up that way. I'm excited, but

681
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 4: you know, not exciting enough for Joe to to take

682
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 4: the flight the Philly uh or for a series.

683
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 3: But no, it's his schedule's so crazy.

684
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: I would imagine he needs the time with his kiddos

685
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: along those lines. So I'm sure you're gonna be talking

686
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: about this series, of course on All Dodgers with Clint Pasias.

687
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: What else is coming up?

688
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: And tell the folks here what you're talking about as

689
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: far as your deep dive in the Gavin Lux.

690
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so Lux, listen, I've tried to I've had

691
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: a lot of strong opinions about Gavin LUs over the years,

692
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 4: over the course of his career. Interviewed him just before

693
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: he made the splash, you know, the jump to major

694
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: League Baseball, had all the hype around him in twenty nineteen,

695
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 4: as you very well remember, Alana. But right now what

696
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 4: we're seeing out of Gavin, I just I think they're

697
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: hurting him. I think it's hurting him to continue playing

698
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: him out there, To continue you have to hear, you know,

699
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: assholes like me on the internet talk about him. So

700
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: we did a deep dive over the weekend, dropped it

701
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 4: on the YouTube channels. It's doing well. People are very

702
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: opinionated about Gavin Lux. But one it was a comment

703
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: I got from a fan that I do. I want

704
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 4: to point it out just because he says, like Lux,

705
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: it shouldn't be bigger than the organization. And I understand

706
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: them trying to run him out there day in day

707
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: out and hope that he figures it out. But I

708
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 4: think at some point, you know, you you got to

709
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 4: get the confidence back in the bat and maybe maybe

710
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: even you know, open some opportunities for yourself as a

711
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: shortstop again at Triple A. So he's not Gavin Lux

712
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: not the only problem on this roster by far, as

713
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: we already talked about. Didn't even mention him through you know,

714
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: the course of this show, we're talking about third base,

715
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: we're talking about outfield, talking about starting pitching, but still

716
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: just for like the sake of his career. And this

717
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: is what I explained in the video. I think it

718
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: wouldn't be a bad call to send him to Triple A.

719
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 4: Let him just kind of take a blow.

720
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Ay.

721
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: It worked for James Outman, very small sample size, but

722
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 4: three for five since coming back from Triple A. So

723
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 4: check it out. People. Yell at me in the comments
