Didn't Tom Brady trip over 4 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: his dog? 5 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 3: Let's go to. 6 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: Participate in the Home runnerby Hello everybody for New Time Monday. 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 2: I am Alana Rizzo.

Of course, 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: our last show was on Thursday. So before we get 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: into things, just your quick takeaway over the course of 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: the weekend. 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 4: My friend, everything's fine. 18 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 5: I'm totally not mad or upset or but heard about anything. 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 5: Everything is fine, And I want to get myself some 20 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 5: of those Mickey Mouse ears that the Giants gave away 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 5: on Sunday, because that's a real pro movie from an organization. 22 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: But it'siculous, so ridiculous, because if we did that, if 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 2: we would have come up with it first, you would 24 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: have thought it was the greatest thing ever. 25 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear it. Let's get into 26 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: the big ticket, all right, Clint. 27 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: I think the last thing you need to worry about, 28 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: my friend, are the Mickey mouse hears. I think the 29 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 2: bigger concern is the black hole that is third base. 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 5: Go yeah, it's it's been a little bit rough, we'll say, 31 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 5: numbers wise. What is it since where Matt Where I'm 32 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 5: at twenty Keith k a Hernandez and Cavin Bigio, who 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 5: have been taking the lion's share of time at third 34 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 5: base since Munsey has gone down twenty one for one 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 5: thirty five. That's a one fifty six clip, forty strikeouts overall, 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 5: not having a good time at third base, and that 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 5: has now opened up the door for Chris Taylor to 38 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 5: get a run there. The resurgent Chris Taylor, the dare 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 5: I say back from the dead Christopher armand Taylor c 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: T three getting a chance nine for twenty over his 41 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 5: last two weeks of the season. And what I like 42 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 5: about CT three A lot of You're somebody that did 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 5: not give up on Chris Taylor. Chris Taylor, Sorry, the 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 5: Dodgers did not give up on Chris Taylor either, and 45 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 5: it's it's not just you know, it wasn't just a 46 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 5: switch that was hit. 47 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: It wasn't you know, him getting lucky. 48 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 5: You know, there's actual swing changes that got us to 49 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 5: this point. And Dave Robert says he's gonna get a 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 5: run at third base, and it looks earned. 51 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 4: It looks earned. 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't ever give up on Chris Taylor. 53 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot of people that wanted 54 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: to take him to the train station. And if you 55 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 2: watch Yellowstone, you know that reference, which, by the way, 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: Kevin Costner and friends figure it out so we can 57 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: actually finish Yellowstone as a series instead of just like 58 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: leaving everybody hanging on a cliff. But the point is 59 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: Chris Taylor has done some really good things in a Dodgers' uniform, 60 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: and I just was not quite ready to give up 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: on him yet. And it seems like he's kind of 62 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: turning a corner a little bit. Is he an All 63 00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 2: Star new? Is he shoheo tani new? But I do 64 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: believe that he has had enough success in that uniform, 65 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: with enough black type and enough stuff on his baseball 66 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: card to warrant him getting another chance and getting this 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: run at third base. Now the Dodgers have the luxury 68 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: of being able to continue to give him that run 69 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: because they have the lead that they have. They have 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: other talented guys surrounding Chris Taylor, so hopefully this is 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: an opportunity for him to continue the success that he 72 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: has had recently. Swing in the bat, not striking out, 73 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: hitting the long ball. But where is mcgil Vargas. Why 74 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: is migil Vargas not at third base? 75 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 5: Well, they gave up on the micguil Vargas third base 76 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 5: experience experiment a season or two ago, two off seasons ago. 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 5: The plan was, Hey, this kid is going to take 78 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 5: over at second base, worked all off season learning the 79 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 5: new position with Dino Ebl. 80 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 4: Gavin lux was there. 81 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 5: They were putting in a whole bunch of work in 82 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 5: the off season at Dodger Stadium. 83 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: And the bat wasn't there. 84 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: Something that was always part of Miguel Vargas's game was 85 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 5: the bat. You look at his minor league numbers before 86 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 5: making his major league debut, I mean, this kid was 87 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 5: a hitter. He was a can't miss star hitter. With 88 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 5: the bat, the defense was always going to be questionable, 89 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 5: So they did not like him at third base, second base. 90 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 5: Not massive fans of him, even though to me he 91 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 5: kind of passed the eye test. 92 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: Wasn't pretty. 93 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 5: The advanced metrics will tell you, no, not great there. 94 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 5: And now they've kind of put him in this weird 95 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 5: defensive purgatory where he's barely playing. But when he gets 96 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 5: in the lineup, where are we at. We're hitting three 97 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 5: twenty four at the major league level this season, nine 98 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 5: to fourteen ops two ninety with a OPS over one 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 5: thousand at Triple A this season. The bat is back, 100 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 5: and they need to find a way to get him 101 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 5: in the lineup because you know, Kevin Bigio hasn't been 102 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: great defensively at third keyke Hernandez Dave loves the defense 103 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: at third or whatever. But if we can find a 104 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: way to mix him in, he's got a strong enough arm. 105 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 5: He got you know, the best defensive coaches in the 106 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 5: game at the big league level. I'm at this point 107 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 5: in the season, you're okay to kind of just try it, 108 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 5: but I would rather see him not get buried anymore. 109 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: The kid's earning it. 110 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. 111 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: I you know, I think listen, if you if you've 112 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: thought so highly of Miguel Vargas. Why are we limiting 113 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 2: his appats, Why are we burying him in triple A. 114 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like the bottom third of the 115 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: order is, you know, crushing the ball and lighting everything 116 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: on fire. So perhaps we give him a little bit 117 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: more of a run again. I'm never going to give 118 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: up on Chris Taylor, but there is a spot in 119 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: the infield for Miguel Vargas. Let's get this kid a 120 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: little bit more time. But you know what, let's talk 121 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: to Matthew Moreno, who does a great job as the 122 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: executive director of Dodger Blue. He's a good friend of ours. 123 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: He's been a longtime supporter of Guidry's Guardian Foundation, and 124 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: he's kind enough to join us today on this Monday afternoon. 125 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 2: And Matt, always good to see you. You have been 126 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: a steady force in the Dodgers coverage for as long 127 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: as I know, so it's it's always good to have 128 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: you here. Why should we be concerned, if we should 129 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: be about the whole in our minds at third base? 130 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if there's necessarily reason to 131 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 6: be overly concerned just because Max Munsey is going to 132 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 6: return at this point at some point, I know, you know, 133 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 6: his oblique injury is certainly lingered longer than we were 134 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 6: initially told the expectation was. But we've all followed this 135 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 6: sport for a long time. Obliques can certainly be tricky, 136 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 6: So it wasn't too much of a surprise, at least 137 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 6: for me that Monthsy wasn't ready yet, so, you know, 138 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 6: and Alona, like you were just saying, the Dodgers do 139 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 6: have the luxury of, you know, a comfortable lead in 140 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 6: the nl WES, second best record the National League, all 141 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 6: that stuff. So even if Munsey were to miss another 142 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,559 Speaker 6: three weeks or a month, the Dodgers should be okay. 143 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 6: They have been okay. My concern always with this team 144 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 6: is what does it look like for October? And when 145 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 6: you're looking to October, Like I said, Munsey should be 146 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 6: back at that point, and that solves the third base problem. 147 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 6: And in the meantime, if you know, Chris Taylor is 148 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 6: going to be getting more opportunities there, he is certainly 149 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 6: trending up the last fifteen as definitely the last seven games, 150 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 6: then that becomes, you know, an answer at least for 151 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 6: the meantime, and then once months he is back if 152 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 6: you need Taylor to platoon somewhere else, then he's in 153 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 6: a much better position than what we've seen so far 154 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 6: this season. 155 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 5: Matt, you're somebody that's active on the social media machine. 156 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 5: You know a lot about this team, a lot about 157 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 5: what the fan base is thinking. What is the pulse 158 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 5: of the fan base right now coming out of a 159 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 5: series where they didn't look too good. Yeah, you love 160 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 5: the come from behind win or sorry, the big extra 161 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 5: innings win on Saturday, But how's the fan base feeling? 162 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: In your opinion? 163 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 6: Some frustration with how the weekend went. Definitely there's a 164 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 6: lot of Cavin Bigio criticism, Kei Ky Hernandez as well 165 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 6: as you said, you know, he's oddly kind of struggled 166 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 6: defensively recently, Chris Taylor. I think because he got off 167 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 6: to such a poor start this season that his recent 168 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 6: trajectory and upswing isn't necessarily being recognized. But of course, 169 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 6: you know that tends to happen, like fans can kind 170 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 6: of remember what a player has been and if you 171 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 6: know Taylor's not hitting a home run or doing something 172 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 6: in every single at bat, then it's oh, you know, 173 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 6: he's been struggling all season. 174 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: Long. 175 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 6: Uh So, Yeah, I mean I think there's some frustrating 176 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 6: but it's important to always, you know, kind of take 177 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 6: at least half a step back and really look at 178 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 6: the entire picture of things right now. 179 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: Matthew Moreno, is Garrett Crochet a Dodger by the All 180 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: Star break? 181 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. 182 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 5: Come on, well, where do you think this team goes 183 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 5: at the trade deadline? Because they're in this kind of 184 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 5: precarious spot where we know there's a lot of bodies 185 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 5: coming back, bullpen, potentially starting rotation. You know, you mentioned 186 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 5: Max Munci, maybe there's an opening at second base. The 187 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: outfield kind of seems to be figuring itself out. Which way, 188 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: which direction? Do you think they're thinking at this moment? 189 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: Yeah? So for me, like I think they do. 190 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 6: I think the Garrett Crochet stuff was interesting and it 191 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 6: is indicative of they are going to certainly address the 192 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 6: starting rotation, and ideally not just with you know, somebody 193 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 6: to kind of fill in You're they're going to look for, 194 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 6: you know, some high ceiling. I know that's obviously a 195 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 6: popular uh script are at times, but as certainly a 196 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 6: talented you know, maybe not quite an ace, but somebody 197 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 6: who could start the second game of a postgame series, 198 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 6: and so a week ago, two weeks ago, I wasn't 199 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 6: quite as convinced that they would look to address the 200 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 6: starting rotation. But with that speculation, I think that becomes 201 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 6: a focus. I think at shortstop, I'm not fully convinced 202 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 6: that they go and get one of the big names. 203 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 6: I know, Bobashett has been popular. The Brewers are playing well, 204 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 6: so I don't know if they'll end up trading Willia Damis, 205 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 6: but it wouldn't surprise me if maybe they find somebody 206 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 6: who could just kind of maybe spell Miguel Rojas at shortstop. 207 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 6: It does seem like they might be more open to 208 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: keeping him there once Mookie does come back. That being said, 209 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 6: Miguel Rojas is is older than he is younger, and 210 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 6: that's it doesn't mean he's certainly hasn't been productive or impressive, 211 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 6: but the Dodgers have always been mindful of his workload 212 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 6: and not putting too much on him. He's had some 213 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 6: soft tissue injuries in the past and they want to obviously. 214 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: Avoid those moving forward. 215 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 6: So it wouldn't shock me if they go starting rotation 216 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 6: and maybe finding, you know, more of a defensive minded type, 217 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 6: or it's that kind of second level guy that you 218 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 6: weren't necessarily anticipating. 219 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 2: Are there real starting staff rotation concerns? I have not thought, 220 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: and Clint can attest to this. I have not thought 221 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: that the Dodgers were deep enough in their starting staff, 222 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: and that was with a healthy everybody, and it seems 223 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: like nobody's healthy. So are you concerned about the Dodgers' 224 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: starting staff particularly? I'm not worried about the regular season, Matt. 225 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: We know that they're going to the postseason, but in 226 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: a five game series, who are your top three? And 227 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: do they need to go out and get a strong 228 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 2: frontline starter? 229 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 230 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 6: I think you have to at this point. Yamamoto's injury 231 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 6: changed a lot of things. And not only is it 232 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 6: an injury, but it's a rotator cuff and those are 233 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 6: always tricky for you know, any type of picture and 234 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 6: obviously a starter. Before that, I felt like the Dodgers 235 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 6: did potentially have enough of a rotation. Bobby Miller has 236 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 6: been more inconsistent than I anticipated this season, but factoring 237 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 6: everything in, like you said, you know the endies, some 238 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 6: of the performances, Yeah, right now, it looks like you 239 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 6: have Tyler glass Now and Gavin Stone, and that's about it. 240 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 6: And Gavin Stone, as great as he's been, he still, 241 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 6: you know, would be getting kind of his first taste 242 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 6: of October baseball, and you never know that could work 243 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 6: out well. He could certainly rise to the moment. I 244 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 6: think there's reason to believe he can. But also how 245 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 6: much is fair to reasonably expect out of a young 246 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 6: pitcher in that situation for the first time. 247 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're looking right now. 248 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 5: Tyler Glasnow is nearing his career innings limit or a 249 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 5: career single season's inning limit. Stoner last year between Double 250 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 5: A or sorry, Triple A and the big Leagues's got 251 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 5: about one hundred and thirty one innings. So those are 252 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 5: definitely some real concerns there. You mentioned Bobby Miller. Who, 253 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 5: in your mind are you more concerned about in the 254 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 5: long run for this season. Is it Bobby Miller or 255 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 5: is it somebody like Walker Bueller, who we have not 256 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 5: seen anywhere close to vintage butteinte of old who's more 257 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 5: standing out in your opinion? 258 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 6: I think I'm more concerned with Bobby Miller, just because 259 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 6: I had more expectations for him this year. With Bueller, 260 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 6: I thought if he he somehow comes back and is 261 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 6: like a very very good number three or a very 262 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 6: very good number four. Startered great, but fact of the 263 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 6: matter is his second Tommy John surgery. He's been out 264 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 6: for a long time, like it was going to take him. 265 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 6: I thought, if anything, next year would be a better 266 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 6: season for Bueller. So because of that, in my estimation, 267 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 6: Bobby Miller was certainly somebody the Dodgers were counting on, 268 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: I think a little bit more. And so to see 269 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 6: some of his inconsistency obviously only made I think it 270 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 6: was three starts before going on the injured list, he 271 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 6: was out for an extended period of time. It's only 272 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 6: been a couple starts so far, but what we've seen, 273 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 6: I think there is reason to be more concerned with 274 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 6: him because of I think what he means to the 275 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 6: Dodgers for October. 276 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: Matt, what's your bigger level of concern if that's even 277 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 2: a fair statement. Is it the starting rotation and the 278 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: lack of depth there? My word's not yours or the 279 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: bullpen And also give us an update on Joe Kelly's 280 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: status and if they need another like legitimate bullpen piece. 281 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: Honeybun can only do so much. 282 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 6: Matt, Yeah, I think, uh, the bullpen, I'm not too 283 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 6: concerned with. You know, hopefully Bruis our Graderol is back 284 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 6: at some point this season. Joe Kelly is, you know, 285 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 6: he's going to be out for It's still going to 286 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 6: be out for a while. Dave Roberts said his return 287 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 6: won't come until some time after the All Star break, 288 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 6: and that's obviously a loose sort of timeline because Joe 289 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 6: will need to go on a rehab assignment and all that, 290 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 6: and for relief pitchers that is certainly shorter than a starter, 291 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 6: and so you know, once he gets back, I think 292 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: he could help. I think, you know, maybe the Dodgers 293 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 6: could still stand to benefit from adding a relief pitcher, 294 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 6: an experienced one certainly doesn't have to be a closer. 295 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 6: I know that there's a little bit of Kenley Jansen 296 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 6: speculation out there which hasn't been met by positive feedback, 297 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 6: at least with the fan response that I've come across 298 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 6: since that's come out. But yeah, you know, to your point, 299 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 6: Evan Phillips can't necessarily do everything. Blake Trying and Daniel 300 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 6: Hudson have pitched. Well, I know there've been some bumps 301 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 6: in the road of late but then after that, you 302 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 6: know you're sort of relying on Anthony Banda, Johann Ramirez 303 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 6: who have done well. But again, these are inexperienced guys 304 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 6: that you know, you don't know how that's going to 305 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 6: necessarily go come the postseason. 306 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 5: All right, So the people in the chat or are 307 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 5: clamoring for some vintage matt Moreno talk here. We know 308 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 5: your big time foodie there at Dodger Stadium. We see 309 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 5: it on the feed which you guys are following him 310 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 5: at Matthews Matthew double underscore Moreno on the end. You 311 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 5: know it's the whole name there. But I understand you 312 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 5: got something excited coming up here. 313 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 4: You're excited about. Uh was it Japanese Heritage Night? Is 314 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 4: that what it is? Ponzu fries? 315 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 316 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 6: This is uh, this is interesting to see the Dodgers 317 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 6: doing uh. Like it says for the first time, first 318 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 6: time they've blended some Mexican Japanese fusion food. I don't 319 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 6: know if I'll necessarily be up to trying him. 320 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: I might have to have a blake. 321 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 6: I like to give him a hard time and say, hey, 322 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 6: like I'll recommend stuff and you try it. And let 323 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 6: me know and if it's good, then maybe I check 324 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 6: it out after the fact. But I'm I'm not the 325 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 6: most adventurous person when it comes to food. 326 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: I mean I get it, like I hopfully understand what 327 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 2: they're doing. I mean, nothing screams Japanese heritage like fries. 328 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: I do get the ponzu like that part. I understand 329 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: the ponzu sauce. 330 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: I get that. 331 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this best ballpark food, Matt, that 332 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: you have ever had anywhere? 333 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question. I'm gonna go. 334 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 6: So several years back, Pecko Park had this Philly cheese 335 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 6: steak that they served on a pretzel bun and it 336 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 6: had like kind of a spicy The cheese that they 337 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 6: used was like almost like a. 338 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 3: Spicy nacho cheese type. That was very good. 339 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 6: But then I remember I forgot what year I had it, 340 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 6: and then I went back the following season and it 341 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 6: was gone and it hasn't been back since. 342 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: You're the only one that liked it. 343 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: Disappointing. 344 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 5: That's cold blooded stuff right there. Hey, bring it back 345 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 5: for our guy, Matt. You know, he's already had a 346 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 5: rough enough season. By the way, great to see you 347 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 5: back on your feet doing doing this coverage. You know 348 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 5: we're all here doing I'm gonna put you on the 349 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 5: spot here. Who is the starting short stuff for the 350 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 5: Dodgers come October? 351 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: Miguel Rojas. 352 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 4: Given some love to our guy, Mickey Rolana. 353 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, Matt. 354 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: I don't know how much you watched Dodger's Territory, but 355 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: Clint Piscius is infatuated with Miguel Rojas and Miggy Rose 356 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: streak just ended. But you have to admit, Matt that 357 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: that was quite the streak and what he brings to 358 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: the table as far as leadership. Anyone that can coach 359 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,479 Speaker 2: and mentor Mookie bets on anything that to me is impressive, 360 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: and Miguel can do that. I find it funny that 361 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: like everyone's like, oh, he's old, he can't do it 362 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: every day. If he's old, I'm ancient and dead. But 363 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: what do you think on his return trip to the 364 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: Dodgers that he has meant to this club he's met. 365 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: In a lot. 366 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 6: I mean, like you said, there's the leadership aspect I 367 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 6: think can't be overvalued. And that's something that I know 368 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 6: fans sometimes are a little bit quick to dismiss and 369 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 6: especially you know, not everybody is as fortunate as we 370 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 6: have been to kind of be around the team. See 371 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 6: Miguel Rojas before batting practice, during batting practice in the clubhouse. 372 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 6: Kind of the conversations he's having, and just how much 373 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 6: respect he commands, like you said, for rookie Betts from 374 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 6: everybody in the team. And you know, I think to 375 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 6: your point, like, yes, he wasn't. The streak was certainly 376 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 6: fun and it was sad to see his undefeated record 377 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 6: come to an end when he had a hit and 378 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 6: all that, but the uh and we were trying to 379 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 6: actually we were trying to drum up some NL MVP 380 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 6: support for him. I don't know why that wasn't happening, 381 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 6: but yeah, you know, Roejus has been great, and I 382 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 6: think it's been interesting is you know, he's embraced any 383 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 6: role that the Dodgers have asked. 384 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 3: And this wasn't supposed to be it. 385 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 6: He was, even going back to last year, was going 386 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 6: to be a utility infielder off the bench, but then, 387 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 6: of course Gavin Luxe's unfortunate injury happened and that changed 388 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 6: some things. Miguel Rohaus was ready, he didn't have the 389 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 6: season that he would have wanted out of himself. Worked 390 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 6: hard during the offseason, got healthier, further removed from his 391 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 6: wrist surgery, and now you're seeing I think some of 392 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 6: the benefits from it. 393 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 5: You know, I got a gripe about the whole Rojas 394 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 5: situation before we get to Ella Cheva's comment here. I 395 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 5: think everybody started getting too crazy, too loose with the 396 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 5: ball there and bringing up the streak. Mickey Rowe talking 397 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 5: about the streak with Chris Rose. You know, they're talking 398 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 5: about that on his show. Everybody to start talking about 399 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 5: too much and you take the magic away from that. 400 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 4: But that's what we do. 401 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: That's what we do so well. 402 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: We beat I'm not going to say this because I'm 403 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: an animal, I'm an animal advocate, but we beat stuff 404 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: to death, right, Like, that's what we do. We like 405 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: log on, like we like lock onto streaks. We lock 406 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: onto statistics and the guys hate that more than anything. 407 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: So it's our own damn fault. 408 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: By the way, Elishev of Jones is such a good 409 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 2: supporter of our podcast.

We not talk about Vesia enough, Matt. 417 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: I don't. Well, he gets talked about. If he pitches 418 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 3: poorly in one. 419 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 6: Game, then it though, right, yeah, I mean, and that's 420 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 6: you know, that's always kind of the battle with following 421 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 6: a team and trying to cover them and update fans 422 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 6: on you know what's going on.

Kaya is worth getting 468 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 2: to know more about. I want to ask you this 469 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: Clint about show Hey. Otani has expressed interest, I believe, 470 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: and of course everybody I would think would like to 471 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 2: see it. Show Hey in the Home run Derby. Take 472 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 2: it from both sides of the perspective, my friend, from 473 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 2: a fan perspective and from an ownership perspective. 474 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the Dodgers are probably the ones that 475 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 5: are in the toughest spot for this show. Hay has 476 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 5: said he's down to do it if he is asked. 477 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 5: I think everybody in the world would love to see 478 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 5: show Hey a Toni participating in the home run derby. 479 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 5: But the Dodgers understandably invested a lot of money into 480 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 5: this man. Two million dollars a year is what they 481 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 5: invested in, and of course seven hundred million in the 482 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 5: grand scheme of things. He is recovering from an elbow surgery. 483 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 5: They do expect him to come back at some points 484 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 5: as a pitcher and all of that. But that said, 485 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 5: I think taking a few know g hacks out there 486 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,239 Speaker 5: in Texas isn't going to set him back massively. I 487 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 5: think he can do it. I think he can give 488 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 5: the fan base what he wants. I think the Dodgers 489 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 5: should be open to it. 490 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: You know. 491 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 4: I know Dave Roberts has come out and. 492 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 5: Said that ideally they would rather not have him do that, 493 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 5: but they're not going to get in the way. If 494 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 5: he wants to do it, They're going to let him 495 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 5: do it and get the biggest stars in the game. 496 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 5: This is a global sensation, superstar, whatever words you want 497 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 5: to use. Everybody in the world knows about Shoe Heo Tani, 498 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 5: and he should be out there representing this great game, 499 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 5: spreading the goodwill of baseball by hitting the shit out 500 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 5: of some baseballs in Texas. 501 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: I do not subscribe to the fact that playing in 502 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: the home run derby jacks up your swing. It does not, 503 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: So stop it and show Heyo Tani is a global sensation. 504 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 2: As you mentioned, I echo that at my partner. If 505 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: show Heyotani wants to participate in the show in the 506 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: show run Derby, I should just fricking change it to 507 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: show run Derby. If show Heyotani wants to participate in 508 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: the home run Derby, then show Heyotani participate.

You cannot live life and 513 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 2: you cannot run a franchise. Easy for me to say, 514 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: because I'm not a billionaire that has a team, but 515 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: you cannot run a franchise based on what you think 516 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: is going to happen and all this doom and gloom, 517 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 2: like what if you gets hurt?

What is it A B 669 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: A C or a B A two B? I don't know. 670 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: I think that the Dodgers, the. 671 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 2: Team is doing what they're supposed to be doing, Like 672 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: what a plus is? How many games have they played? 673 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 4: Eighty? 674 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: And oh would be an A plus? I mean, I 675 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: don't know what else to say. I mean, they're doing 676 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: what they can with what they have. And you know, 677 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: injury is nobody cares. Nobody cares. No one feels sorry 678 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. No one feels sorry for the Sodgers. 679 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 2: Nobody feels sorry for the Yankees. 680 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: They just don't. And certainly nobody feel sorry for sorry 681 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: for the astros. 682 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a team that doesn't have their their 683 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 5: A Shan Yoshionoma Yamamoto doesn't have their leadoff man, and 684 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 5: Mookie Betts hasn't had one of their best relief arms 685 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 5: all season, and Bruce dark grat or all a whole 686 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 5: bunch of injuries and other problems under performance, and still 687 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 5: looking at a team that's nineteen or twenty games over five. 688 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: So I would also argue with you though, that Yamamoto 689 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: is not the ace. Tyler's the ace. I think Yamamotos 690 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: are really good. 691 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Gavin Stone then, just for funzies, No. 692 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: Gavin Stone now is the number two. Tyler is still 693 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: the ace until he proves otherwise. 694 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 4: All right. 695 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: Clint Pasi has has so much going on on all 696 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: Dodgers with Clint Paca's YouTube tube, in as Clinton likes 697 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 2: to say, thank you for watching, Like and subscribe to 698 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 2: us on our YouTube page of course, Foul Territory our 699 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: parent page. 700 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: Please rate us five stars. 701 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: We need it. 702 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: We're desperate. 703 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 2: Like and to. 704 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: Subscribe to Dodgers Territory. 705 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 2: Podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. 706 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: Clint and I will be back on Wednesday. 707 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 5: Thanks for being with us for Dodgers Byett
