WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>All right, we continue on Fred Rugan, Rodney Pete on

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a five to seventy LA Sports. He is standing by.

3
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's not make him wait, Rodney, Let's go to San Diego.

4
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Welcome on, David Vase, Dave, good afternoon to you.

5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Hey guys.

6
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, Dave, last night game one, I thought it

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.719
<v Speaker 3>was a It wasn't the prettiest game, but it was

8
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 3>a game the Dodgers won, and I thought it was

9
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 3>pretty important to get the first one. Did I put

10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 3>too much emphasis on that?

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 4>No?

12
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you just look at the standings, right,

13
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 2>it kind of helps the Dodgers assure themselves that they

14
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>have a very good chance of leaving San Diego in

15
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>first place. I know the standings say two games, but

16
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>in the lost column, the Dodgers and Padres were tied

17
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>going into the game last night, So the Dodgers are

18
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>a game better in the lost column. And look, last

19
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>night was one of the most entertaining games you'll see

20
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>in the month of June. The Dodgers have been playing

21
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>so many entertaining games over the course of the entire season,

22
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 2>but especially the last couple of weeks facing the Yankees

23
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>and Mets and now coming to San Diego. This is

24
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>always an emotionally charged atmosphere at Pecco Park, and last

25
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>night was no different. Even Jackson Merrill from the Padres

26
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>said it after the game. I know people are upset

27
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>we lost, but how could you not love that baseball

28
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 2>game last night?

29
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, No, he's right, He's right.

30
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 3>The excitement down there in the passion of that crowd,

31
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>the way it's been the last five six years, has

32
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 3>been great.

33
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Dave.

34
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm watching this on MLB Network of Otani doing a session.

35
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Are you watching that? Have you seen that today?

36
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm in the radio broadcast booth. Otani just finished

37
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>his first inning of a simulated game. They've called up

38
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 2>some minor leaguers to face Otani. So yeah, this is

39
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>something that I knew was going to happen, and that's

40
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>why I'm here front row seed. Even there are some

41
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Padres in the Padre dugout that are drat on the railing,

42
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 2>curious to see how this goes. So everybody wants a

43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>glimpse of Otani, and I guess MLB Network's getting a

44
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>free show with their ballpark cam in center field.

45
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah they are, Yeah, they are. That's exactly what I saw.

46
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Dave. Now he's in simulated games in your best

47
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>guess when might we see him?

48
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

49
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, Dave Roberts told me on the pregame show two

50
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, you're not going to see him before the

51
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>All Star break. That's on the record now. He is

52
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>not going to pitch until after the All Star break.

53
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 2>And that's what they've been basically planning for. They don't

54
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>need Otani in June, they did not need Otani in May.

55
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>They need Otani for October. So that's the plan for

56
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>him to come back after the All Star break, have

57
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>a couple of months of the regular season to start

58
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>getting into peak performance for when they need him the most.

59
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at the playoff rosters, you are

60
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>only allowed thirteen pitchers, but O'tanmi is designated as a

61
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>two way player. So essentially the Dodgers have an extra

62
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and elite pitcher, one of the best in baseball, on

63
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>their playoff roster that nobody else can have.

64
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 4>No, that's a great advantage.

65
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 3>As you mentioned, I didn't even think about that, but

66
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>he's not listed as a pitcher.

67
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 4>He's a two way player.

68
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Dave Tanner Scott looked good in the last couple outings man,

69
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 3>is he corrected what was.

70
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Going on with him?

71
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of what his talk was. Everything

72
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>was going right down the middle, and he wasn't hit

73
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 3>his spots.

74
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 4>What have you seen? What have you known from Tanner.

75
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Scott that has allowed him to kind of get back

76
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 3>to what we thought he should be.

77
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>I've seen a more aggressive and confident Tanner Scott and

78
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>something clicked for him. Not sure who spoke to him,

79
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 2>but it feels like his teammates kind of rallied around

80
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>him to remind him how good he is and how

81
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 2>good he was last year. And we're starting to see

82
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the Tanner Scott from last year. And I personally believe

83
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>what turned this season around. And when we look back

84
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>at this year is last homestand where he gave up

85
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>a couple of runs in the top of the ten

86
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>thinning Dodgers lost that game. Dave Roberts went back to

87
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 2>him the very next night in the very same situation.

88
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>This time, he struck out Soto, he struck out Alonso,

89
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>and he got Nimo to pop up to end the

90
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>tenth thinning to give Freddie Freeman the opportunity to walk

91
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>it off. That was the first sign that Tanner Scott

92
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was had changed something in his demeanor, his mentality of

93
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 2>attacking hitters.

94
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Dave ten Rosen, Bob Nightingale, I'm sorry, Bob Knightingale wrote

95
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that the Dodgers could be in the market for a

96
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>left handed power hitter. Does that mean we were kicking

97
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 1>this around earlier? Does that mean they're starting to look

98
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>at Michael Confordo's lack of performing saying think they have

99
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to make a move.

100
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if that's what he's writing, I don't know where

101
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>else that left handed power hitter would play. There isn't

102
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>really one that fits that bill. At third base they

103
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>got one in Max Munsey, So yeah, left field, a

104
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>corner outfield spot would be the only spot I could

105
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 2>think of to be able to fill that role. Look,

106
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Conforto had a big hit against the Mets that last

107
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>day of the homestand no doubt about it, but he

108
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 2>really hasn't done much since, and really hadn't done much before.

109
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So the Dodgers are doing their due diligence to see

110
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>how they can upgrade that position because they took a

111
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>one year gamble on Michael Conforto and for whatever reason,

112
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>he has not looked like himself at all. There's been glimpses,

113
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 2>but he's hitting a lot of grand balls to second

114
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>base this year. He's in the top five of hitting

115
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 2>into double plays this year, he's hit into eight. So

116
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like no, but he has an answer

117
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 2>why Michael Conforto is not hitting because he's I mean,

118
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 2>for all of us that have seen Conforto over his career,

119
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>he's not this. He's not this deficient in hitting. So

120
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what it is.

121
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, you're You're absolutely right, and it could.

122
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. He's changed the scenery. Who knows what

123
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 3>it is? Something going on mentally. Dave Kopek comes back,

124
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 3>Kirby Yates comes back, which is good science for the Dodgers.

125
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 3>What do we know about Blake Snell? I know glass

126
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 3>now's down for even extended period of time, but what

127
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 3>do we know about Blakesnell on his return.

128
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, Glassnell's in LA he was supposed to throw a

129
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>bullpen session today at Dodgers Stadium, and Blake Snell's in

130
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>San Diego with the Dodgers. He is supposed to throw

131
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen session today as well. So both those guys

132
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>are sending in the direction of returning sometime in July.

133
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>I know both would love to come back before the

134
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 2>All Star break, but that's a Dodgers' training staff decision there.

135
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>So both are paying free now, Both are starting to

136
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>ramp up to be able to pitch in simulate the games,

137
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>rehab games, and it's a process to build back up.

138
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>And the earliest that could take place for them to

139
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>return is July.

140
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 3>All right, Dave.

141
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>So that being said, are the Dodgers also going to

142
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>be on the market for a pitcher at the deadline

143
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>if these guys don't get back.

144
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And also, I mean you have to wonder what's

145
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>going to happen between now in July thirty first, if

146
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>somebody else may get hurt. It seems like it happens, right,

147
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I would say pitching is what the Dodgers

148
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 2>are in the market force. Specifically, Andrew Friedman told Petro

149
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.639
<v Speaker 2>some money that he's looking for a right handed reliever.

150
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they're going to put their focus on

151
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 2>right handed relievers, and I wouldn't be shot. That's the

152
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>opportunity presented itself. If the Braves are selling and Chris

153
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Sales available, why wouldn't the Dodgers. Take a look to

154
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>see if it matches up. Because it's one thing to

155
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>have guys in the rotation, it's another thing to have

156
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a dog like Chris Sale. He has that Walker Bueler mentality.

157
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>You guys remember him coming out through the bullpen gates

158
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>at Dodger Stadium in Game five of the World Series

159
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>that year. That's the type of guy that you would

160
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 2>love to have in the postseason. He is going to

161
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>possibly be the most valuable starting pitcher that could get

162
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 2>traded at the deadline.

163
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, Dave, thanks for jumping on. Really appreciate it.

164
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>We know you're busy. So Tony still pitching.

165
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>He's still pitching. Second inning just started, Ronnie. I'm sure

166
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 2>you could see that an MLB network.

167
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I am in.

168
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 3>The ballpark camp, absolutely, Dave, you mentioned it.

169
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fly out the center right now to one of

170
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the kids shagging out there.

171
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, Dave, thanks thanks again.

172
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, guys, thanks all right.

173
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>So Rodney Howsey, Look, he looks good. He's doing a

174
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 3>lot of off speed pitches like actually, but he uh,

175
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 3>nobody's hit him just yet. I've seen three batters. Nobody

176
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.960
<v Speaker 3>fly it out right there, but no, he looks good.

177
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 3>He looks good. You know, he's got the good body language.

178
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 3>He's smiling and laughing and doing his thing. But you

179
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 3>just want you don't want to see what the velocity is.

180
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't see the velocity on his fastballs or anything

181
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 3>like that, but he's got a lot of movement on

182
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 3>his off speed pitches. It just won't have a good time.

183
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, oh yeah.

184
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>You know he's a jokester and and loves just to

185
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 3>laugh it up and have a good time and enjoying life,

186
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 3>which you got to love about it.

187
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 4>It's not too intense about everything.

188
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Whoa wow? What happened? That was a he threw a

189
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 3>curveball a slider that broke about three feet.

190
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and it was a strike. And do it again

191
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 4>for another strike?

192
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Man?

193
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 4>That was nasty.

194
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 3>How many innings will this go?

195
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 4>Do you know? I don't know.

196
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 3>They haven't said, but this is his second inning. I

197
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you're gonna go three or just do pitches.

198
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:24.759
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, ground out the third. Yeah, nobody hit him hard.

199
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 4>But interesting, all.

200
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Right, Dodger fan, let me ask you a question, do

201

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 3>regular season game, we're in June, but I thought that

206
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.679
<v Speaker 3>was important. Do you agree as like six nine eighty

00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 3>was a chaining one't really pretty, but the right guys won.

<v Speaker 3>Rodney P.

220
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Fred Rogan. I'm watching.

221
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:52.200
<v Speaker 3>The MLB guys just marvel Freddy at Otani Session. They're marveling.

222
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, they're going, I mean, their mouth is

223
00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 3>watering at Otani Session and it's it's al lighter. I think,

224
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 3>is there Hell Reynolds and I forget who else the

225
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 3>other guys, but they're marveling at at at his session,

226
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 3>and they're suggesting that that we may see him in

227
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 3>the next two weeks. Well, we just had David Das

228
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.879
<v Speaker 3>saying I have Dodgers better than anybody I know. He

229
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 3>just said, Dave proper the All Star break.

230
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, isn't that crazy? What the percession is?

231
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

232
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're going to see him in the next two weeks.

233
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>And they said it so confidently, but it's not gonna happen.

234
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.879
<v Speaker 3>And they suggested that they use him, utilize him as

235
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 3>an opener, like start him out as two innings as

236
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 3>an opener, then maybe three here there and let him go,

237
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, kind of build.

238
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Up after that. But started him out as a two

239
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 4>inning opener.

240
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is great, this is great that you're actually

241
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 3>watching this. And here's why.

242
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.799
<v Speaker 1>We just had David Dass say on who was with

243
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 1>the team every single day and probably knows more about

244
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers than anybody.

245
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 3>Those folks are sitting on the East Coast in the

246
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 3>MLB network studios. And by the way, I think they

247
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Speaker 3>really do a great job MLB Network. I'll watch all

248
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 3>the time.

249
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I think they do a good So now they're popping

250
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.399
<v Speaker 1>up Otani pitching. And these guys, by the way, when

251
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>they do those shows, and Rodney, you've done this type

252
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 1>of show. When you sit down, you don't know half

253
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the time what's gonna happen. Right, Hey, we've got this

254
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 1>coming from Fenway Park. Here we go, take a look.

255
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Start talking. So now they found this, they put it

256
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>up and all of a sudden, Man, he looks great.

257
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 3>He looks good. I think we'll see him in the

258
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 3>next two weeks. Oh man, he looks great. All right,

259
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.720
<v Speaker 3>you know what I heard, you don't. I think they're

260
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna use him as an opener.

261
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 4>I heard that. I heard that from somewhere.

262
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I don't want to say who, but I heard that.

263
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 3>So they could use them as an opener now and

264
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>have open games. These guys don't know anything. We just

265
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 3>had David Vassay on.

266
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Five minutes ago telling us what was gonna happen. Why

267
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.159
<v Speaker 1>would they know more than David Vassay.

268
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:13.240
<v Speaker 3>They can't.

269
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 1>But it just shows you how this business works, Right, guys,

270
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 1>we gotta kill four hours out there today.

271
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.399
<v Speaker 3>Sit down, yes this Now we're gonna get people talking

272
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 3>about this. So we're gonna throw it out there that

273
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 3>Otani's gonna pitch in the next two weeks, all right,

274
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 3>because that's gonna be the thing that people the buzz

275
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 3>is gonna be out there. So now everybody's gonna be

276
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 3>calling the Dodgers and figuring out and when is Otani

277
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 3>gonna go? He looked great in his bullpen session and

278
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 3>uh live pitching, and man, maybe could he be an opener?

279
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 4>That's gonna be a question for Dave Roberts tonight.

280
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, absolutely, could he be an opener? Will be a question.

281
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>And the other question will be I know you said

282
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna be after the All Star break, but

283
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>do you think it'd be in two weeks?

284
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.279
<v Speaker 3>Wh You know how this stuff happens?

285
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely it does, Absolutely it does.

286
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>Hey, did you see that catch by Clark from the

287
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 3>A's against the Angels when he went over over or

288
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 3>center field, went up over the fence and caught it.

289
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.240
<v Speaker 4>Anybody, you guys see that? Kevin?

290
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 3>You see that catch? That might be the best catch

291
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:25.080
<v Speaker 3>that I've ever seen. No, yes, he didn't just rob

292
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 3>a home run. He robbed a home run that was

293
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 3>probably gonna be five to eight feet deep over the fence. Really,

294
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I did not see that.

295
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 4>He climbed it.

296
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 3>He climbed it, weighted, timed it right, climbed it, got

297
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 3>all the way like, climbed it with his feet and

298
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 3>spiked got to the top of the wall before he

299
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 3>reached over and grabbed the ball.

300
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 4>It was. It was incredible.

301
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Lunged over and did an acrobat move to come back

302
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 3>down like he was a gymnast. But that ball was

303
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 3>way gone and he went and got it. It was

304
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 3>did he come down on the other side of the

305
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.639
<v Speaker 3>fence or he came down he twisted his body to

306
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 3>come back down in the field to play it was.

307
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.360
<v Speaker 3>It was the best catch I've seen in the last

308
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 3>ten years. Maybe really Griffy made that one catch over

309
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 3>the wall. Wow, all right, I did not see that.

310
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was incredible.

311
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:25.919
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

312
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 3>Let's let's find out what the Dodger fans thought about

313
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 3>last night. How important was game one? Also, what do

314
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 3>you think of those fans in San Diego? All right, Tony,

315
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 3>thanks for holding in Santa Clarina. We appreciate it. You're

316
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 3>on a five seventy LA sports Go ahead.

317
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 8>Hey, friend, Rodney, somebody needs to tell this nine gale

318
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 8>guy that Dalton Rushing is also an outfielder and and anyway,

319
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 8>this was just like Game three of the playoffs where

320
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 8>the pigeon and the defense was really bad in the beginning,

321
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.600
<v Speaker 8>but this time they won that game. The bullpen came

322
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.879
<v Speaker 8>through and just held on till the end came when

323
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.519
<v Speaker 8>the Walker Bueller game in the playoffs, Remember that one, Yeah, yeah,

324
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:04.799
<v Speaker 8>it was in the beginning.

325
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 3>There's the thing they want, the Dodgers. The Dodgers have

326
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.119
<v Speaker 3>said Dalton Rushing is just going to catch.

327
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.359
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, but what is he going to sit around

328
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 8>for five days doing nothing? Like he's got to get

329
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 8>some bad at bats. It's like, really, he's uh David's

330
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker 8>David VESI says, Dalton rush in the future outfielder more

331
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Speaker 8>than anything, but.

332
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Not this year.

333
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't see him playing much outfield this year. I

334
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.119
<v Speaker 3>see him maybe he can work in in spring training,

335
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.039
<v Speaker 3>but I don't see them playing him.

336
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.319
<v Speaker 8>The switch hitting, you got to take advantage of switch hitting.

337
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 8>That's what he is, you know, all right? Thank you?

338
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh that was it. They take advantage of the switch hitting,

339
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.640
<v Speaker 3>which is right, okay. You know he said just left

340
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 3>handed bat. You know Tommy Edmonds is a switch hitter too,

341
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 3>so consider that a left handed bat as well. I'd

342
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 3>like seeing Edmond hit from the left side better than

343
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 3>the right. He's better right. He even and admitted it

344
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 3>when he came back. He came back the right hand side.

345
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 3>This was natural, but he has a lot of work

346
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 3>to do with the left hand side. That is his

347
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 3>weaker side.

348
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.559
<v Speaker 1>All right, eight six six ninety seven seventy Dodger fans,

349
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Jim and Westminster Jim appreciate you holding now, what's on

350
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 1>your mind?

351
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 7>Phi, guys, I played a lot of some of my

352
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.279
<v Speaker 7>pro ball as a center fielder. I always focus on

353
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 7>the outfielders mostly. Piees is a natural right fielder. I

354
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 7>don't think too. I think maybe he's lost a little bit.

355
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Left field would be better as far as I'm concerned,

356
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 7>center field is a bit of an open spot right now.

357
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.599
<v Speaker 7>Kim has got possibilities at their speed, good arm, but

358
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 7>I think they need to move their outfield around a

359
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.640
<v Speaker 7>little bit. That ball that too missed last night, I

360
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 7>think pie Has would have had it. That cost him

361
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.680
<v Speaker 7>two runs, potentially three runs. Edmund is great out there,

362
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 7>but he's a gold glove second basement. He needs to

363
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 7>place that in base.

364
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker 4>TK is a.

365
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 7>Great still in a lot going on, and I know

366
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 7>you guys are busy. I'm trying to talk fast. And

367
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 7>the best thing on that team is Freeman, no question

368
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.440
<v Speaker 7>about it. Freddy is the clutch guy. He's the guy

369
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 7>you want up there.

370
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you all right, good Jim, Thanks Jim. He covered it,

371
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 3>He covered it all. I felt the same way though,

372
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 3>And I love me some ta Oscar Hernandez, but I

373
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.160
<v Speaker 3>thought that ball should have been caught. That ball should

374
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 3>have been caught. And I'm not saying anybody else. You know, you, oh,

375
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.839
<v Speaker 3>you put him there and you get caught. I think

376
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 3>ta Oscar felt that ball should have been caught as well.

377
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.480
<v Speaker 3>But he's got to be in the lineup because of

378
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 3>his offense. Definitely because of his offense. So I don't

379
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.960
<v Speaker 3>know what you do. And I actually I actually like

380
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 3>Edmunds at second base, and I like Kim in centerfield.

381
00:19:54.119 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 3>I like that, And then you know, maybe paz Is

382
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.640
<v Speaker 3>is your regular left fielder. I think because Kim can

383
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 3>cover so much ground. Got it fast, yeah, extremely fast?

384
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:13.759
<v Speaker 3>So right now, I mean I like that that, you know,

385
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 3>a Simbilus of the defense. Maybe next year as they

386
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 3>get through spring training, Kim moves back into the infield

387
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.240
<v Speaker 3>and he played second base and goes to the outfield.

388
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 3>But right now I like the I like Kim and

389
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 3>the outfield and Edmond at second base. All right, let's

390
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.400
<v Speaker 3>go a joy in Alpine. Thanks for holding go ahead.

391
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Gentlemen, good day. You so a couple of a couple

392
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 6>of ways answer the question. I think ye asswer it

393
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 6>was important due to the fact of how we had

394
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:43.240
<v Speaker 6>played Sunday to Sunday of the previous week, especially that

395
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 6>series against the Cardinals there as far as against being

396
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 6>you know with the Padres. You know, I live in

397
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 6>San Diego County. I went to the game last night.

398
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.119
<v Speaker 6>They feel like it's a little serious shit them every time.

399
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.519
<v Speaker 6>But last year I heard all my softball teammates, you know,

400
00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, happy about how they had won the few

401
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 6>series for the first time and how did that turn

402
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 6>out for them? So not important, we know we have

403
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 6>bigger aspirations, but definitely always good to put it to

404
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 6>a division rival there, can I ask you.

405
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:10.799
<v Speaker 4>Real quick before you go? I mean they're going on.

406
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 3>So how is it, you say, you playing your softball

407
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.440
<v Speaker 3>team with all the Padre fans in there? How is

408
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 3>it dealing with the Padre fans being down there and

409
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 3>you're a Dodger fan man.

410
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 6>So you know, Alpine has one of the best breweries

411
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 6>in all of San Diego County, and all my friends

412
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 6>there are parties fans. So I walk in on Friday

413
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:30.960
<v Speaker 6>night games and all my gear and I get booed

414
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.920
<v Speaker 6>and I waved to the crowd like like anybody else,

415
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 6>you know. But they're good guys, man. A lot of

416
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.000
<v Speaker 6>them know baseball, and they played baseball, their kids played baseball.

417
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.680
<v Speaker 6>But you have those bandwagon fans that just you know,

418
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.880
<v Speaker 6>they came along in the last few years, and they

419
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.200
<v Speaker 6>weren't here when I was going to games watching TV

420
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 6>and Khalil Green and I know more than they do

421
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 6>about their team in the last twenty years. So it's

422
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.279
<v Speaker 6>a little sad, but it's a good time, man. It's

423
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 6>a good time with the guys that actually know baseball.

424
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

425
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.279
<v Speaker 3>But it was crazy, wasn't it.

426
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:58.519
<v Speaker 6>Oh, it was an awesome game.

427
00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 4>You know.

428
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 6>We actually looked out. A buddy of ours who worked

429
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.440
<v Speaker 6>for SDG now out here sold me his tickets for

430
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 6>one hundred bucks for the pair because we got to

431
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.240
<v Speaker 6>work a twenty hour shift, so we looked out. We

432
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 6>had to sit in a potterish territory. Unfortunately, through the

433
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.880
<v Speaker 6>potterish gun. But it was a good game, man, It

434
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.079
<v Speaker 6>was a really exciting and I think you had mentioned

435
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 6>earlier either way, like Jackson merriland said it was a

436
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 6>good game regardless. I love to watch good baseball, especially

437
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 6>between two top tier teams. So that's exciting where it

438
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.519
<v Speaker 6>is right now in the rivalry. But yeah, definitely a

439
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.799
<v Speaker 6>little more exaggerated, I think on one side and the other.

440
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.240
<v Speaker 6>But again, good good win compared to how frustrating the

441
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.680
<v Speaker 6>weekend series had been.

442
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, thank you for the call. Appreciate it. Let's

443
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 3>go to Compton.

444
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Skip is on the line, Skip, thanks for holding eight seven?

445
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Skip's out? Oh Chris in La Hey, Chris, you're

446
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 3>on go ahead?

447
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:50.519
<v Speaker 9>Hey, I just wanted to say something alluding to what

448
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 9>the last collars said. It's all about defense when you're

449
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.319
<v Speaker 9>trying to win a championship. And they can be so

450
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:01.160
<v Speaker 9>much better if they put Tiascar in left, but Kim

451
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:03.799
<v Speaker 9>in in center. And you know, let's get rid of

452
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.359
<v Speaker 9>this MOOKI has short experiment. I know they want to

453
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 9>pee him, but mooky.

454
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 4>Did we lose them? Those?

455
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Chris? All right, Robert, let's go to Robert. Robert, thanks

456
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:20.680
<v Speaker 3>for holding. Go ahead?

457
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 10>How's it going, guys, really quick? I agree with the

458
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 10>previous caller. Uh, the Mookie experiment long gone. He belongs

459
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.839
<v Speaker 10>in right period, Kim in center, Edmund at second base,

460
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 10>and Taylker in left field?

461
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker 4>Who plays short? Who plays short? Bab who plays short stuff?

462
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 10>Oh, I'd go with row House in a heartbeat.

463
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:43.680
<v Speaker 3>So Rojas, you take the bat of Rojas. So you

464
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 3>got to take a bat out of the lineup. Who

465
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 3>are you taking out?

466
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 6>But look what you get?

467
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Look you who you taking out? Offensively? You gotta you

468
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 3>gotta have the you gotta have the lineup to hit.

469
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 10>No, you've let Rojause said. Of course he's good when

470
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.039
<v Speaker 10>he's in there for the long run. He needs a

471
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.759
<v Speaker 10>back And look at you gained defensively.

472
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Mookie ranks it around the top of the league

473
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 3>and shortstops defensively.

474
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.279
<v Speaker 4>You guys know that, right.

475
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 10>I don't know why he throws the ball side arm

476
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 10>from the shortstop position. If you notice in right field

477
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 10>it's straight over the top.

478
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:24.839
<v Speaker 3>It's different. It's a different position enfield. Infielder's a different position,

479
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 3>different throwing motion.

480
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.799
<v Speaker 10>I understand, I understand, But look at Win of the Cardinals,

481
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 10>he's straight.

482
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Up manny throw from third base. He throws it side on.

483
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 3>I mean most guys.

484
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 10>That many has probably been doing that since childhood, over

485
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 10>the top.

486
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but here's the thing. But here's the thing. Mickey

487
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Rojas is not going to be the Dodger shortstop in

488
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>two years. He's not going to be the short Okay.

489
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:54.200
<v Speaker 10>That may be true.

490
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 4>But what you're going to do.

491
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.079
<v Speaker 10>You're going for the run this year.

492
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, Mookie's gonna play short. You're saying that is

493
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 3>that you don't think Mookie is a good defensive short

494
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.599
<v Speaker 3>stuff when he ranked in high in every category from

495
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 3>shortstops around the league.

496
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:12.160
<v Speaker 4>Right now, So the.

497
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 10>Statement he makes Freddie work way too hard. Look how

498
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 10>many balls Freddie has to dig out of the dirt

499
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.279
<v Speaker 10>on a Mookie throw. Please just watch. It's rare that

500
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:29.680
<v Speaker 10>he throws it on target most of the time.

501
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:35.119
<v Speaker 3>All right, Robert, thank you, thank you. I hear what happened.

502
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 3>We appreciate him calling.

503
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:39.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but that's not going to happen.

504
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go Ethan and Elsa Gundo. Ethan, thanks for

505
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 1>holding go ahead. What do you think?

506
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:47.799
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, so the game last night was great.

507
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.400
<v Speaker 7>Obviously, it's always great. Skips of the Padres and Indivision rival.

508
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 11>But my biggest thing right now with the team is

509
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 11>we need to stop not giving Kim plain time. Man,

510
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:58.559
<v Speaker 11>I mean, see him out there daily. I'm tired of

511
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 11>this Hernandez. You know, I love he's a fan favorite.

512
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 11>But Kim's flourishing and then we're not giving him playing time.

513
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.599
<v Speaker 11>It's mind boggling to me.

514
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I think he's getting more and more yeah, meaning

515
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:15.799
<v Speaker 3>meaning Kim. He's getting more at bats, he's getting more

516
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 3>playing time. I think KEYK knows knows the role. He's

517
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.039
<v Speaker 3>the utility guy. We lost Chris Taylor in that role.

518
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Key K can play every position, so he's going to

519
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.200
<v Speaker 3>continue to get, you know, get playing time.

520
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 4>Guys need rest. But I don't look at k K

521
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:32.599
<v Speaker 4>is not.

522
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Going to be your every day center fielder, third baseman,

523
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 3>second basement or whatever.

524
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 4>He's going to fill in for guys.

525
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:41.880
<v Speaker 3>And I think more and more as the season goes on,

526
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 3>you will see Kim in the lineup more and more. Yeah.

527
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I really like Kim. Yeah, I want to see him

528
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.079
<v Speaker 1>play more. I want to see him play every game.

529
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I think he's the most electrifying guy in the roster.

530
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.119
<v Speaker 4>He has.

531
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he has been in more.

532
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.039
<v Speaker 1>But remember they called him up and in spring training

533
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>he was having trouble hitting. You don't want to put

534
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy in a position to.

535
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.039
<v Speaker 3>Faight having trouble. He was struggling. They couldn't Yeah, they

536
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 3>couldn't hit. I was trying to be kind, But the

537
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 3>last thing you want to do is put a guy

538
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 3>in a position where he won't succeed. So maybe it's

539
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 3>slow and steady, Slow and steady with him. Let's go

540
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:24.160
<v Speaker 3>to Compton. Now we got skip back, skip go ahead.

541
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.519
<v Speaker 12>It was going on, fred Hey, it.

542
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 4>Was going on, Rodney, what's happening.

543
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.079
<v Speaker 3>Let's go all bad now.

544
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 12>I just wanted to say, I mean, maybe we're being

545
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 12>a little tad bit reactionary. I mean, we're ten days

546
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:42.960
<v Speaker 12>away from the beginning of summer. It's a marathon, not

547
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 12>a sprint. You know, the guy's got a lot to

548
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.960
<v Speaker 12>work on. Maybe some people need a little bit more

549
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:49.799
<v Speaker 12>time in the field, Maybe we need to figure out

550
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:51.880
<v Speaker 12>our pitching. But at the end of the day, it's

551
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.279
<v Speaker 12>like we have our eyes on the championship. So whatever

552
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 12>it is that's going on right now, we're just working

553
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 12>through it. I think Dodger fantasy is defidation man.

554
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely absolutely.

555
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 3>As Fred always said, it's still June, it's still in

556
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.799
<v Speaker 3>first place, and there's still got eighteen million guys on

557
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.880
<v Speaker 3>the injury list that are coming back. So to be

558
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:17.799
<v Speaker 3>in this position with the il roster that the Dodgers have,

559
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 3>it's actually incredible. And I know we can't see it

560
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 3>as Dodger fans, but put that on any other team,

561
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 3>put the injury list on any other team in Major

562
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 3>League Baseball and see where they are. You're exactly right,

563
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.240
<v Speaker 3>You're well, look at major League Baseball.

564
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean when I saw when Corbyn Burns was

565
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>done for the year, I thought, oh my.

566
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:48.359
<v Speaker 3>God in Arizona. Yeah, that's the guy they that was it.

567
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.880
<v Speaker 3>They spent a ton of money on him, he was

568
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:56.599
<v Speaker 3>the guy. He's done. You think the Diamondbacks really and

569
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 3>there are more down than up this year. Yeah, look

570
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.759
<v Speaker 3>at where they are now, exactly right.

571
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.240
<v Speaker 1>They it's hard for them to weather the loss of

572
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>one Yeah, just think about that one picture may have

573
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>cost them their chance to make the playoffs. The guy

574
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 1>they spent all that money on, well, hell, that Dodgers

575
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.920
<v Speaker 1>spent a ton of money on Blake Snow they're still

576
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:29.559
<v Speaker 1>in first place. Tyler Glassnew still in first place. They

577
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>went out and won the Sauzaki Derby, still in first place.

578
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Gonsolin is now on the injured list, still in first place.

579
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Just think about that. Think about the number of players

580
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers have on the injured list. Arizona has one.

581
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>And granted they're not hitting as well this year, that's fine,

582
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:55.279
<v Speaker 1>but they've won picture of that caliber. And now look

583
00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:00.000
<v Speaker 1>what happened. The Pindres could not withstand these kinds of injury.

584
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 3>They couldn't.

585
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anybody could. It's just unrealistic. No team

586
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 1>is that deep. And Andrew Friedman said before the season started.

587
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget this. He's going to spend all of his money.

588
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.519
<v Speaker 1>He's going to do with shopping now, right, that was

589
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 1>his plan. Let's go out, go crazy, get everybody we want,

590
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 1>and then I don't have to pay two times on

591
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:28.319
<v Speaker 1>the dollar at the trade deadline because everything's more expensive.

592
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

593
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Now, what do you hear, Well, he's looking for a

594
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>right handed reliever at the trade deadline. Well, they could

595
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>be looking for a big, left handed, power hitting back.

596
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>So he'll go again. He thought he had taken care

597
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.799
<v Speaker 1>of this so that there would be no issue, no concern.

598
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.599
<v Speaker 1>He wouldn't have to do a thing and everything would

599
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>be fine. Didn't work out that way. Now here we

600
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>go back into the market again and he'll do it too. Yeah,

601
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 1>whatever it calls. Nos, Yeah, we do what we gotta do.

602
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Whereas a lot of clubs would go, I spend all

603
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>this money in the off season. I'm not spending another

604
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>dime at the trade deadline. We're going to have to

605
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>just take our lungs and hope the guys come back.

606
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.359
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not going to spend any more money. I

607
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 1>spent the money in the all season. Why am I

608
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:25.440
<v Speaker 1>going to spend it at the treade deadline? Tread deadline.

609
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna do it. But that's not how the

610
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers operate, which is why we keep saying, be thankful

611
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you're a Dodger fan. Be appreciative you're a Dodger fan,

612
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>because they get it right.

613
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, we will get right out of here

614
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 3>when we come back.

615
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll wrap it up and turn it over to Petros

616
00:31:54.240 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and money.

617
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, Rodney Pete Fred Rogan on a Tuesday, thank

618
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 3>you for all the calls. You know, I always love

619
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 3>to hear from Dodger fans and different perspectives. I mean,

620
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:23.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, fred it sometimes we get sometimes we get

621
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:27.200
<v Speaker 3>the ones that are unrealistic. But I think this this

622
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:31.079
<v Speaker 3>caller batch was very interesting, brought up some valid points,

623
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.440
<v Speaker 3>and I thought they, you know, even with the Mookie

624
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:37.279
<v Speaker 3>stuff that I don't agree with and him not playing

625
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 3>short stuff anymore. I think, you know, Dodger fans are

626
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 3>very knowledgeable about the team, you know, although passionate, but knowledgeable.

627
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:52.319
<v Speaker 3>You didn't hear any fire Dave Roberts calls today. Uh,

628
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:59.519
<v Speaker 3>and that was shocking. If had they lost Game one,

629
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 3>maybe they against San Diego, maybe there would have been.

630
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Some of those If you remember this, Rodney, the Dodgers

631
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:10.559
<v Speaker 1>won the World Series. The next day, we opened the

632
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>phone line. Tell me if you remember this. The next

633
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:16.480
<v Speaker 1>day we opened the phone line. Put somebody on fire.

634
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts. They had just won the World Series. Yeah,

635
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:26.279
<v Speaker 1>it was the next day. Yeah, they should have swept him.

636
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why, what is wrong with Dave Roberts.

637
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>They should have swept him.

638
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 3>And the guy goes fighter, Dave Roberts. They just won

639
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 3>the World Series.

640
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't care.

641
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, remember what he did? He said? Yeah, but like

642
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:43.200
<v Speaker 3>three years ago. Three years ago.

643
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 4>He went he went back. Oh that's right.

644
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:49.400
<v Speaker 3>But three years ago he made that decision not to

645
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.559
<v Speaker 3>take Kershall out, or he made that decision to leave

646
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 3>so and so in, And that's why they need to fower. Yeah,

647
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 3>Rachel against baseball. Everybody inside baseball that knows baseball considered him,

648
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 3>considers him on the top two three managers in league.

649
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:09.679
<v Speaker 4>Everywhere.

650
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, And that's what's so comical.

651
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Then the other part of it is this from where

652
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 1>he started as the manager, and he was a by

653
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the book guy. You have to understand he was learning,

654
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:29.840
<v Speaker 1>he was learning, he was a by the book guy.

655
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.559
<v Speaker 1>From where he started to where he is now, no

656
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 1>one ever questions anymore, did they have this all scripted out?

657
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>You notice that too, No one ever says that anymore. Well,

658
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.679
<v Speaker 1>what do you expect, He's just doing what they told him. Oh,

659
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:49.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's doing what they told them. I

660
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:53.519
<v Speaker 1>think they have a meeting before the game, which almost

661
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:54.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody does.

662
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:57.400
<v Speaker 3>This is what we're gonna do. This is what we're

663
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 3>going to do in the seventh. This is what we're

664
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:00.840
<v Speaker 3>going to do in the eighth. First, coming in off

665
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.400
<v Speaker 3>the out of the bullpen. It's going to be X

666
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Y Z, depending on what the lead is. But they're

667
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 3>in the course of the game. As the game flows,

668
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.480
<v Speaker 3>it becomes all about the clubhouse. Dave Roberts, Bob Garren,

669
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 3>the bench mark pryor of how they handle the game.

670
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Within the game, there's always a game plan going into it,

671
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:27.559
<v Speaker 3>just like any sport. There's always a game plan. But

672
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.960
<v Speaker 3>those game plans get adjusted along the way, and that

673
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:32.159
<v Speaker 3>falls on Dave Roberts.

674
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, all right, they'll try to make it too

675
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:36.639
<v Speaker 1>in a row.

676
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Tonight. We're not on tomorrow. Don't cry.

677
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 4>It's okay. I know.

678
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>We have something on pretty good instead of us Tomorrow,

679
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.599
<v Speaker 1>we have the game. It's a one o'clock start in

680
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:53.519
<v Speaker 1>San Diego. So tomorrow, enjoy the game, and hell, by

681
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 1>four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the Dodgers may have swept.

682
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 4>Oh, there you go.

683
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.000
<v Speaker 1>All will be forgiven. They can come home. That's how

684
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:04.119
<v Speaker 1>we operate. Now, if you have a bad road trip,

685
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you cannot return, but if you play well, you can

686
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:06.639
<v Speaker 1>come back.

687
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:09.360
<v Speaker 3>So that'll be fun.

688
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Is that how it works? Yeah?

689
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Is a Tony still pitching? No, he's done, he's done.

690
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 4>All right, he's all done.

691
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Okay, Ronnie, thank you for today. Very good work.

692
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Very good work, Kevin. Appreciate your your efforts as well.
