00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And now your host of Dodger Talk, David VASEI.

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase, closing things out here

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 2>at Angels Stadium with you until nine thirty on Dodger Talk.

4
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Phone calls are wide open at eight six six nine

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy. Jose Moto will join us

6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>in twenty minutes. You will hear from Dustin May and

7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets in just a moment, and we will give

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>you our picks as far as division winners and playoff

9
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>teams coming up a little bit later, as that is

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>our tradition in the final game of the Freeway series.

11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>It means absolutely nothing, but it's my opinion and I

12
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>want to hear yours. Eight six six nine eight seven

13
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. Spoiler alert, I'm not picking the Rockies

14
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>to win the NL West in case that's what you

15
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>are anticipating. No, no, that's not happening anyway. The Dodgers

16
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>won tonight four to one. More important, everybody got out

17
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>of this game clean, meaning no new injuries. And more importantly,

18
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers got Mookie Bets back after missing the last

19
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, including the first two regular season games

20
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>in Tokyo with some sort of stomach virus that caused

21
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Mooki to lose close to twenty pounds. He told us

22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>a couple of nights ago he left spring training one

23
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventy five pounds and now he's one hundred

24
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and fifty seven pounds, So that's not normal, no matter

25
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>what you got. And today he was in great spirits.

26
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 2>He reassured everybody he was feeling good. He played five

27
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>innings today, was zero for three. He's going to play

28
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>a simulated game tomorrow at Dodger Stadium and declared himself

29
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 2>ready to go for Thursday. Here's part of what Muki

30
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>had to say after he came out of the game tonight.

31
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually stronger than I was before. My body's been

32
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 3>perfectly fine, only be my stomach, literally only my stomach.

33
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 3>I'd been working out, doing everything perfectly normal. It was

34
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 3>just hard to hold down food, but I'll fine out.

35
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Remember a couple of nights ago we shared with you

36
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that Muki was going to start some new medication and

37
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>he was hopeful that would turn things around for him. Well,

38
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>they apparently did, because yesterday Dave Roberts was encouraged after

39
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>hearing Muki had a great day working out at Dodger

40
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Stadium and said he would be here tonight in Anaheim,

41
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>and he was.

42
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 4>And Muki, you know, he's.

43
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Down playing and now, but he was pretty down in

44
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 2>the dumps the other day and not very optimistic he

45
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>was going to play for the home opener, but that

46
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>changed in the last twenty four hours. Here's what Muki

47
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>had to say about why he believes he's feeling a

48
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>lot better and now able to hold down solid foods.

49
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 3>I just figured out what it was. I figured out

50
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 3>what I need to stay away from and may turn

51
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>plays Hern in the corner.

52
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe dairy free now, maybe Mookie's dairy free. You know,

53
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>he goes around with the chef everywhere, so he's got

54
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>a personal chef to customize whatever he needs, Taylor to

55
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 2>his diet. And it's good news, all joking aside that

56
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Mookie is feeling better. That kind of stuff is scary

57
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>when you can't hold down solid foods, and certainly good

58
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers that MOOKI is going to be ready

59
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday, because no disrespect to anybody else, a Mookie

60
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>bets at one hundred and fifty seven pounds is better

61
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>than most players, and the Dodgers now will have their

62
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>big three at the top of their order for the

63
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>home opener against one of the best pitchers, if not

64
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the best pitcher in Major League Baseball and Tarrek school Bowl.

65
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>A great pitching matchup coming up at Dodger Stadium on

66
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Thursday afternoon. Two Cy Young Award winners and Snell and

67
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>school Bowl facing off against each other. Two of the

68
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 2>best lefties in the game. And the Dodgers certainly want

69
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to be at full strength and it's not going to

70
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 2>be a cakewalk for school Bol.

71
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 4>This is not just your.

72
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Run of the mill Minnesota Twins al central lineup. This

73
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>is the defending world champion Dodgers that have just only

74
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>gotten stronger. So it should be a great matchup of

75
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>this Dodger offense going up against school Ball on Thursday afternoon.

76
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

77
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Also, the other storyline tonight was the

78
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 2>fact that Dustin May was pitching in a Big League

79
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>ballpark for the first time in nearly two years. Dustin May,

80
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>in case you missed it, was declared the Dodgers' fifth

81
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 2>starter after Tony Gonsolin went down a couple of weeks

82
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 2>ago in the weight room in spring training with some

83
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>sort of lower back injury. They were competing for the

84
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>final spot coming out of spring training, and with Gonsolin

85
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>injuring his back over weight train, Dustin May is the

86
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 2>fifth starter. There was some question whether or not Dustin

87
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 2>May would make this roster out of camp, and even

88
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>more questions about whether or not he would make it

89
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 2>out of camp as a starting pitcher. But you saw

90
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>tonight five strong innings, six strikeouts, and was able to

91
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>bring along that breaking ball, sweeper, whatever you want to

92
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 2>call it, sweeper, slider, slurf. He had that to play

93
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 2>off his fastball, and he's really excited and obviously an

94
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>emotional journey the last couple of years for Dustin May,

95
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 2>not only baseball wise, but life wise, life threatening, you know,

96
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>choking with the esophagus, had to be rushed to the

97
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 2>emergency room, and here he is back in a big

98
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>league ballpark. We had a chance to talk to Dustin

99
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>after he came out of the game tonight, not only

100
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>about what he was doing with his off speed pitch,

101
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>but just this journey that he's had to go through

102
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years.

103
00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 5>She's being able to land the breaking ball.

104
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 6>That's been my biggest thing in basically my career hasn't

105
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 6>been very many innings, but I mean in my career,

106
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 6>just being able to land the breaking ball opens up

107
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 6>everything else. I mean, I move the ball a lot,

108
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 6>and just being able to land the breaking ball on

109
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 6>the zone opens everything else up.

110
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>Have you started to get a feel for that in

111
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 2>the last year working on it before obviously the esophagus issue.

112
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean that was what I was hammering home

113
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 6>throughout my whole rehab, was just being able to land

114
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 6>the breaking ball.

115
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 5>Being able to strike the breaking ball.

116
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 6>That was what I've been hammering home because like, if

117
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 6>I can do that, it opens up a lot of doors.

118
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 5>Like I said, so it.

119
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 6>Helps me out if I can do it, So why

120
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 6>not try and be better at it?

121
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Were you getting depth on it tonight?

122
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'd like the shape of the ball. The shape

123
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 6>of the breaking ball was where I was wanting it tonight.

124
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 5>Yet he's a lot of that breaking ball being more consistent.

125
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 6>Just being able to understand like release point and like

126
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 6>how I want it to break and like where I

127
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 6>wanted to start and stuff like that.

128
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Is the anticipation of pitching next week at your stadium

129
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.439
<v Speaker 2>similar to the anticipation you had coming back from Tommy

130
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>John or even coming to make your major league debut.

131
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Can you describe how you feel leading up to next week.

132
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 6>I feel like there's gonna be a lot more emotions

133
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 6>for me because of all the time that I've had

134
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 6>to think about it. When I first got called up

135
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 6>for my debut, I mean it was like a four

136
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 6>day thing, so it was like kind of right on it.

137
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 6>But for this, I mean I've been I was waiting

138
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 6>for I don't know thirteen months, and then the esophagus

139
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 6>thing happened, and then that changed my perspective on a

140
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 6>lot of things in life. And it's gonna it's I'm excited,

141
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 6>just gonna put it that way.

142
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm excited.

143
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 2>With that being said, last time we saw you very

144
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>emotional picture on the mound with that perspective that you gotten.

145
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Have you Are you the same emotional, fiery type of

146
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 2>guy or is there a different.

147
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 6>I definitely have. I definitely have the spark inside of

148
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 6>me for sure. Still like it's definitely in there. It's

149
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 6>starting to wake up a little bit as I'm starting

150
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 6>to get back into the games a little bit more.

151
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 6>It was definitely very calm collected. But as I'm starting

152
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 6>to get back in the games and get kind of

153
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 6>like my feeling and feet back under me, it's definitely

154
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 6>definitely coming back.

155
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, it's definitely going to be more.

156
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 6>On the shadowed side, but it's gonna it'll come out

157
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 6>every now and then.

158
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Dustin May after a strong performance to

159
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 2>close out the exhibition season with five innings and six strikeouts.

160
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 4>Only allowing one earn run.

161
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at the Dodgers starting rotation, it's Snell, Yamamoto, Sazaki,

162
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Glass Now and Dustin May. And when you look at

163
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 2>what the Dodgers are going to do with their bullpen

164
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 2>in the North American part of their schedule to start

165
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>the season, at least, I don't see any changes from

166
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen we saw out there in Tokyo outside of

167
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you're going to have Landon Naxt starting

168
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 2>year in the minor leagues, and you were able to

169
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>carry an extra reliever because of Blake Snell not being

170
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 2>on the roster out there, but I mean, well he

171
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 2>was because you couldn't leave him off or he would

172
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>have been out, but outside of a Landon Nak, I

173
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's the same eight relievers. It's gonna be

174
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott, It's going to be Alex Vesia, It's going

175
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 2>to be Blake Trining, Kirby Yates, benk Casparius. It to

176
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 2>me is going to be the breakout bullpen star of

177
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the season. Anthony Banda is still part of this bullpen.

178
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Jack Dreyer, who was added to the forty man roster

179
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>during the offseason, definitely impressed in spring training and also

180
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 2>held his own in Tokyo and then Luis Garcia because

181
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are going to need some depth behind Suzaki

182
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>starts and Louis Garcia can eat some innings at least

183
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>two like we saw in Tokyo. So that's the way

184
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it stacks up for the thirteen pitchers the Dodgers are

185
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 2>going to use coming out of Tokyo and into the

186
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>meat part of their schedule here in North America, picking

187
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>up where they left off after sweeping the Cubs in

188
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 2>that two game Tokyo series. Where does it go from

189
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.399
<v Speaker 2>here with their pitching? Look, Clayton Kershaw, nobody's really talking

190
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>about him, but I don't see him not pitching, you know,

191
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 2>for three or four months. I see him coming back

192
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 2>in June. He's on his way back. You're going to

193
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 2>have Clayton Kershaw back before the All Star break. Now

194
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.879
<v Speaker 2>as far as Otani goes, what's the rush. Do the

195
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers really need Otani to pitch in the first half

196
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>of the season.

197
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't believe so.

198
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 2>They don't need Otani until the second half of the season,

199
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe not until August. The part of Otani pitching for me,

200
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.960
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers having the depth that they have, is

201
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 2>getting Otani ready for the postseason to be that weapon

202
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 2>for you, either as a starter or well, he's not

203
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be a reliever as a starter to start

204
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a game, whether it's three innings, for innings, whatever you

205
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 2>want to do. He's a weapon in the postseason. And

206
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that's the focus. It's not about June or May. It's

207
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>about the second half of the season. Otani's going to

208
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>throw a bullpen on Saturday at Dodgers Stadium. But there's

209
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>no rush, and I think you're seeing that from the Dodgers.

210
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.039
<v Speaker 2>They are not trying to rush Otani to be ready

211
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.759
<v Speaker 2>by May. They're not trying to rush him to be

212
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>ready by June. I believe you're not going to see

213
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Otani pitch until July if that, because there is no rush.

214
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

215
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. The Dodgers are getting set for the

216
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>home opener on Thursday, Blakesnell against Trek Skouble. That's the

217
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>first series at home against the Tigers, and then they

218
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>will welcome in the Atlanta Braves. And the Braves have

219
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 2>a tough road trip to start the year. The Braves

220
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 2>start out in San Diego and are coming to Dodger

221
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Stadium after that series, so they're gonna see glass now,

222
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 2>they're going to see dustin May. It's not going to

223
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.759
<v Speaker 2>be an easy first week of the season for the

224
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves, who I do believe are going to make

225
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. But here is my declarations of who is

226
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 2>winning each division and who are the wildcards this season

227
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>in Major League Baseball. I got the Phillies winning the

228
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>NL East. I got the Reds winning the NL Central.

229
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I got the Dodgers of course in the NL West.

230
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 2>And my three National League wildcard teams are the Braves,

231
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks, and the Padres.

232
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

233
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>The New York Mets are not making the playoffs with

234
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Juan Soto and they're broken down starting pitching. I'm sorry,

235
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 2>they're just not I know the Padres have had some

236
00:12:55.639 --> 00:13:00.080
<v Speaker 2>disagreements in their ownership level, but the facts are they

237
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 2>have not sold off their roster. They still have Tattoos,

238
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 2>they still have Machado, they still have Luisa Rise, they

239
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>still got Bogarts, they still have Dylan Cees and You

240
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Darvish and Michael King, and they still have a solid

241
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.720
<v Speaker 2>bullpen until that changes. I got the Padres getting into

242
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the postseason. In the American League, I have the Red

243
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Sox winning the AL East.

244
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 4>They're over under for wins this year is eighty six.

245
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I got the over They're a very good team, and

246
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 2>they got a lot of depth, and they got good

247
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>young players that can help them this year. In the

248
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Central I got the Guardians simply because they got great pitching.

249
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 2>They have the best pitching in that division. Are you

250
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>telling me the Twins and Royals are better than the Guardians?

251
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so. Nothing's really changing there.

252
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 2>In the AL West, I have the World champions from

253
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty to twenty three, the Texas Rangers winning the AL West,

254
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Corey Seeger, the Grom coming back, not to mention two

255
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>young pitchers that are ready to contribute this year, and

256
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Jack Lider and Kumar Rocker. I feel like those guys

257
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>are really going to help them out. I like the

258
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Rangers in a week Al West, the Wildcards. I got

259
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the Orioles, who don't have great pitching, but they can

260
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>add during the year. I got the Yankees even without

261
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Jan Soto. I got the Yankees even without Garrett Cole.

262
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I got the Yankees. I got the Tigers being the

263
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.080
<v Speaker 2>final American League wildcard team.

264
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

265
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 2>No more Houston Astros. They are in disarray. They're not

266
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 2>the same team, that's for sure. So those are my

267
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 2>twelve predicted twelve playoff teams in Major League Baseball this season.

268
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Take what you want from that. Let's go out to

269
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.799
<v Speaker 2>La Cindy. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Cindy?

270
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:55.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm good?

271
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 8>Are you.

272
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Tremendous? I had no fans come and slam dunk call

273
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>my face today?

274
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.159
<v Speaker 9>Awesome?

275
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:06.440
<v Speaker 4>What's going on, Cindy? You called me?

276
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 10>Yeah?

277
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.879
<v Speaker 9>So I just have a question on your opinion. How

278
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 9>do you think Mookie Bets will be for the rest

279
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 9>of the season with the whole him being out for

280
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.039
<v Speaker 9>the Tokyo series and how he played today, you know,

281
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.320
<v Speaker 9>the five innings during the Angels game today. How do

282
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.320
<v Speaker 9>you think he's going to be going throughout the whole season.

283
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 9>Think he's gonna get healthier? Do you think we're gonna

284
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.159
<v Speaker 9>have another issue with Mookie Beds coming out.

285
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Cindy, but look, it's not ideal for

286
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 2>him to have missed as much time as he did

287
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 2>and to lose as much weight as he did. Even

288
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>though he said he's stronger than ever, that's a little

289
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 2>bit of a contradiction from what we heard two nights

290
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.399
<v Speaker 2>ago where he said he weighed one hundred and seventy

291
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.399
<v Speaker 2>five pounds and now only weighs one hundred and fifty

292
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>seven pounds. That's that's a huge contradiction that he feels

293
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 2>stronger than ever. I feel like he's trying to convince

294
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>himself more than he's trying to convince us. And he's

295
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>playing the most demanding position on the infield and maybe

296
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>outside of catcher on a baseball diamond. So Mookie's an

297
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>extraordinary athlete. If anybody can, you know, overcome it early on,

298
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 2>it's Mookie Betts. But the good news is he doesn't

299
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>have to be superman. He doesn't have to carry the team.

300
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>He just has to make the plays at shortstop.

301
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:25.039
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, definitely, definitely.

302
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

303
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 9>I was at the game today. Yeah, you look pretty

304
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.360
<v Speaker 9>good at shortstop. So let's hope for the good Wookie

305
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 9>Bets moving on.

306
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 11>Forward, all right?

307
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, drive safe wherever you're going. Eight six six nine

308
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Look

309
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.759
<v Speaker 2>at Mookie's own words two nights ago, he said he's

310
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>starting the season feels like going uphill, And I would

311
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>agree with him, you know, Like I said, I feel

312
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 2>like he was trying to convince himself today more than

313
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.159
<v Speaker 2>he's trying to convince anybody else. But the facts are

314
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.919
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are loaded. They just can't beat themselves. With

315
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>giving the opent extra outs and making their starting pitchers

316
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>throw more pitches. All Mookie has to do is make

317
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.279
<v Speaker 2>the plays at shortstop. Nothing spectacular. He doesn't need to

318
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 2>be Omarvis Skill or Ozzie Smith. He just needs to

319
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 2>make the plays. Make the plays like Corey Seeger used

320
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.160
<v Speaker 2>to make the plays. Seeger used to make the routine plays,

321
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and there was no issues. That's all the Dodgers need

322
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 2>from Mookie Betts. Eight six six nine eight seven two

323
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number you know. One of

324
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>my favorite baseball podcasts is Buster Only's Baseball Tonight's Show,

325
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 2>And in case you missed it, Apple TV has the

326
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 2>World Series Championship video on demand. You could stream it

327
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 2>on Apple TV. And the executive producer was Richie Cunningham

328
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 2>aka Ron Howard. And Ron Howard joined Buster Only on

329
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 2>his recent podcast and sang the praises of our favorite

330
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Vin Scully, the voice of Dodger Baseball so long and

331
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 2>just like all of us. Vin Scully had a huge

332
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.799
<v Speaker 2>influence on Ron Howard becoming a Dodger fan and a

333
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>baseball fan.

334
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 7>I give a lot of credit to Vin Scully, the

335
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.319
<v Speaker 7>announcer of the of the Dodgers. I was first teased

336
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.240
<v Speaker 7>by a moment in nineteen sixty two. I had been

337
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 7>given a transistor radio for my eighth birthday, and so

338
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.839
<v Speaker 7>I was playing around with this transistor radio out in

339
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.720
<v Speaker 7>the backyard, just doing the dial, and all of a sudden,

340
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 7>I hear this crowd noise, and I'm hearing this go go, go,

341
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 7>go go, just weird and Vin Scully is doing this

342
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 7>thing where he lets the radio audience hear the crowd

343
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.039
<v Speaker 7>and they were all chanting for Mary Wills to steal

344
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 7>a base. And then Vin Scully starts to explain, you know,

345
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 7>this wasn't the steal that broke the record, but he says,

346
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 7>as he's chasing the record that they, you know, the

347
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 7>crowd is determined for Mary to go. Everybody in the

348
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.119
<v Speaker 7>park knows he's gonna go.

349
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 4>But will he go go go?

350
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And here's the pitch and he goes, you know,

351
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 7>faith and will that you know, and the crowd is

352
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:14.359
<v Speaker 7>going nuts. And so I was so hooked into the

353
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.079
<v Speaker 7>drama of will this guy who I never heard of

354
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.920
<v Speaker 7>do a thing I don't even fully understand at this

355
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.119
<v Speaker 7>point in my life, which is, I guess, steal a base.

356
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 10>But it was all so clear.

357
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 7>The next year, sixty three, I didn't pay much attention

358
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:36.119
<v Speaker 7>to it during the season, but my dad was directing

359
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 7>a very low budget version of a play that he'd

360
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:47.359
<v Speaker 7>written in local little theater in Burbank, California, which is

361
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.079
<v Speaker 7>where we lived, and they were building the sets that

362
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.440
<v Speaker 7>day and I was just hanging around kind of out

363
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.079
<v Speaker 7>in the alleyway messing around with two before's and this,

364
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.799
<v Speaker 7>you know, the scrap wood that was laying around. But

365
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.039
<v Speaker 7>again I had my transit you're going, and again it

366
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 7>was Vin and it was the sixty three World Series,

367
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 7>and I got caught up an inning two and listened

368
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 7>to the entire game, Kofax striking out fifteen. And by

369
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 7>the time spring training rolled around in sixty four, you know,

370
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 7>I had the magazines, I knew the players, I was

371
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 7>collecting cards, went to my first major league game in

372
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.400
<v Speaker 7>sixty four and the rest is history with me.

373
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>And that's Ron Howard on the Baseball Tonight latest episode

374
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 2>with Buster Only sharing his love for baseball because of

375
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the great Vin Scully. And I think we all can't

376
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 2>relate to that, right. Vin Scully taught me the game

377
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>of baseball growing up. He made me fall in love

378
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 2>with the game of baseball. He would be on in

379
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.319
<v Speaker 2>our house. Even my mom, who didn't care about baseball,

380
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't mind having Dodger Baseball on the TV or on

381
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the transistor radio in our home because of Vin Scully.

382
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And it's so cool to hear a high profile guy

383
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>like Ron Howard share the same stories. And I'm sure

384
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.359
<v Speaker 2>you all have as far as listening to Vin and

385
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.759
<v Speaker 2>falling in love with the game and just awesome. And

386
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Ron Howard, like I mentioned, is the executive producer of

387
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the World Series Championship video that's streaming on Apple TV.

388
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.680
<v Speaker 4>So a very cool thing. And yeah, Ron Howard.

389
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Richie Cunningham from Happy Days, Opie, from the Andy Griffiths Show.

390
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.480
<v Speaker 2>That's how we knew him. I didn't know him with

391
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the Andy Griffiths Show. I'm not a boomer, but I

392
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>knew him on Happy Days. He was my guy, Richie

393
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Cunningham right there. All right, we're gonna take a time

394
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.119

417
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Smith four for twenty in spring training this year. That

418
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.160
<v Speaker 2>was his second home run of the exhibition. See He's

419
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 2>in two home runs three RBIs this exhibition season for

420
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith, who was dealing with a right ankle issue

421
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 2>since last year or excuse me, a left ankle issue

422
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 2>since last year, and starting to round into shape out

423
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 2>there in Tokyo. He had a great, great two games.

424
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 2>His OPS was fifteen hundred. He was on base seven

425
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.519
<v Speaker 2>times in those first two games in Tokyo. So forget

426
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.720

<v Speaker 2>Big A.

437
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.480
<v Speaker 11>Hi, Loope, what's up, brother? How you doing?

438
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited for Thursday and Friday?

439
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 10>Good good, good?

440
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 11>So all am? I So, what are we thinking about

441
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 11>Blake Snell? I'm excited that he's starting off the season

442
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 11>for us. Is he going to be the workhorse that

443
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 11>he's been in the recent future? I mean, in the recent.

444
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 4>Past, I would expect him to be. Loope. I mean

445
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.279
<v Speaker 4>people aren't.

446
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I know, when a guy doesn't pitch for the Dodgers,

447
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>people act like it's his first year in Major League baseball.

448
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell is a very accomplished major league pitcher. That's

449
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 2>the reason he got the contract from the Dodgers.

450
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 4>He got.

451
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>He's a two time Sight Young Winner. He started Opening

452
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Day twice for two different teams.

453
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.799
<v Speaker 4>He's a dude.

454
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Don't act like he's not so. I know he's new

455
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to Dodger fans, but I would expect a lot out

456
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>of him this year.

457
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 4>Loope. And if he doesn't deliver, you can blame me.

458
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:03.920
<v Speaker 11>No, I will never David, but I'm put I will

459
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.559
<v Speaker 11>never mister Vassa, but I'm expecting to bet from him.

460
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 11>He's been great. He's a workhorse, he's a strong arm.

461
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 11>I'm expecting a big season for him, and I hope

462
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:19.279
<v Speaker 11>the Dodgers, the Dodger fans rally behind him. I hope

463
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 11>they don't have any they.

464
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Will will everybody will fall in love with snell Zilla

465
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.880
<v Speaker 2>and you know his The rap on him, right or wrong,

466
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.799
<v Speaker 2>is that he's a slow starter. But I'll tell you this,

467
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I rather have a picture that is better in the

468
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 2>second half than a guy that's great in.

469
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:37.720
<v Speaker 4>The first half. That that's the way I feel. If

470
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 4>you had to choose.

471
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 11>One one, Hey, I want mister October, not mister May.

472
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.160
<v Speaker 11>Let's get him strong, all.

473
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Right, thank you for the phone call. And here's another thing.

474
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>To the whole Blake Snell career resume. I hate to

475
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.599
<v Speaker 2>break it to you, but he never has had run

476
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 2>support in his career, whether it was with the Rays,

477
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 2>the Padres, or the Giants. For the first time in

478
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.799
<v Speaker 2>his career, he's going to have a real offense putting

479
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 2>up runs for him. Eight six six, nine eighty seven,

480
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. We're gonna have

481
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.839
<v Speaker 2>a great day on Thursday, school bol versus Blake Snell,

482
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.039
<v Speaker 2>and Jose Mota will be there too.

483
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with jose Mota.

484
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose Mota, I know you're excited about Thursday

485
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:33.319
<v Speaker 2>school ball against Blake Snell home opener at Dodger Stadium.

486
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.759
<v Speaker 2>You've been beside your father in the early eighties, late

487
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.640
<v Speaker 2>seventies for these type of days.

488
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 4>It's gonna be spectacular.

489
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 10>It's going to be great. And as you mentioned and

490
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:46.240
<v Speaker 10>keep emphasizing, I mean it's a premier matchup. I mean

491
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 10>it's like a playoff game opening here in America. And overall,

492
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.039
<v Speaker 10>you made some great points about lakes now that people

493
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:56.559
<v Speaker 10>need to be aware of, and one of the bass

494
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.440
<v Speaker 10>days is to run support. He looked all look at

495
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 10>wins and losses. Those are the things that obviously we

496
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:05.799
<v Speaker 10>know more and more than guys can not control, especially

497
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 10>now when guys are not pitching deeper into games. But

498
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 10>when I see a guy like Blake Snell who's had

499
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 10>to fight for every w which matters to the players.

500
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 10>No matter what the modern analytics people say, wins matter

501
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:23.079
<v Speaker 10>to guys on the mouth, they go and take them

502
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 10>out to get wins. Well, he's one of a lot

503
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 10>of close ballgames because of that reason, And what better

504
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 10>to have a guy that's gonna go out through accumulated

505
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 10>innings and at times even reinvente over the middle of

506
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 10>the game. There's conversations I've had with Blake still in

507
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 10>the past and back when he was a Tampa Bay

508
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.640
<v Speaker 10>as a youngster, saying, well, was I couldn't find that

509
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 10>pitch in the in the first of innings and I

510
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 10>went to something else which I didn't have the bullpen.

511
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 10>So he's a guy that's not afraid to reinvent himself

512
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 10>to explore other options during the game to reach swings.

513
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 10>And I just don't see anybody else pitching more inning

514
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 10>or want to pitch more innings in the staff than

515
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.839
<v Speaker 10>the guy like Blake Snell, no.

516
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:00.559
<v Speaker 4>Doubt about it.

517
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>He's a guy that has really come into his own

518
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years, and it should be fun

519
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 2>to see what the Dodger offense can do against Trek Skuble,

520
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>who many consider the best pitcher in all of Major

521
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball. It's certainly going to help to have Mookie

522
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Bets and Freddie Freeman behind show Aotani, what did you

523
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 2>see from Mookie tonight at shortstop?

524
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.519
<v Speaker 10>Well, one thing I saw it was a lot of energy.

525
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:25.599
<v Speaker 10>He was not lacking down. He had a ground ball,

526
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.720
<v Speaker 10>hustling in the first base like Mookie always does. I

527
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:31.920
<v Speaker 10>don't see anything concerning the bad speed or any of

528
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.519
<v Speaker 10>the gems that he took a short step where he

529
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.559
<v Speaker 10>was not very active, but always going to be able

530
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:39.799
<v Speaker 10>to stammin how he responds tomorrow that type of body

531
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 10>in the top of demands are going to be one

532
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 10>and playing short that we're going to be large, and

533
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:45.839
<v Speaker 10>hopefully he can go out there, as he mentioned, just

534
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.160
<v Speaker 10>minimize things, make the routine play and that's it. You know,

535
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:50.559
<v Speaker 10>if it takes a little bit more for him to

536
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 10>throw on the run, just cut it down and get

537
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:54.960
<v Speaker 10>your feet set and make that throw, but very encouraging

538
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 10>coming from me yesterday, from his workout into today and

539
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:01.839
<v Speaker 10>now tomorrow with a similar game. Good to see Mookie

540
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.440
<v Speaker 10>back on his feet and I know he's not afraid

541
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.319
<v Speaker 10>of charge ball.

542
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:05.799
<v Speaker 4>No doubt.

543
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And one thing Jose that he said two nights ago

544
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 2>is that he feels like he's going to have to

545
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.720
<v Speaker 2>play uphill to start the year. How steep is that

546
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>hill going to be for him?

547
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.559
<v Speaker 10>It's going to be steep, but because of who he is,

548
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:21.880
<v Speaker 10>the pride that he takes being you know, the premier player,

549
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 10>and Mooki considered before I want to be great and

550
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 10>that's the standard that he said for himself and.

551
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.880
<v Speaker 5>That bar that said real high in.

552
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 10>That respect is the less he tries to do, the better,

553
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 10>because say, his strength is not going to be there

554
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.079
<v Speaker 10>all the way, you know, first game, but it doesn't

555
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 10>mean he can't hit a home r. Mooki is a

556
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.960
<v Speaker 10>guy that has such great leverage and what he does

557
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 10>in the batter thos that he is not needed to read,

558
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.319
<v Speaker 10>bounce hit home runs in his career, Muki knows how

559
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 10>to hit. Mouki knows that is not just on him

560
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 10>and everything that he's surrounded with David and and everything

561
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.599
<v Speaker 10>from from Max Months of the world down to Will

562
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 10>Smith down to kick it all of that and task

563
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 10>and show, hey, it's gonna make him even better because oh,

564
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 10>I am not going to be a hamps of the team,

565
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:07.200
<v Speaker 10>especially Windows of you one hundred percent, and it's only

566
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:09.680
<v Speaker 10>going to make him better knowing that he's gonna have

567
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:14.000
<v Speaker 10>a pace on himself, not compared to anybody else. But man,

568
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.279
<v Speaker 10>when somebody wants to be out there, you know, applaud it.

569
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.839
<v Speaker 10>Especially nowadays, Well, guys are very careful what step they take,

570
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.720
<v Speaker 10>and they're listening to people outside the organization that when

571
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 10>a guy wants to play, just Brandon will evaluate him.

572
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.440
<v Speaker 10>Now you have every single too to do that with biometrics,

573
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.480
<v Speaker 10>but let him play because there's nothing you can beat

574
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 10>or see better than a guy that really wants to

575
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 10>have that spirit to go out there and play baseball.

576
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 4>All right, Jose, we'll see out there at Dodger Stadium.

577
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.119
<v Speaker 2>It should be a fun day out there and a

578
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 2>great pitching matchup like we talked about between two of

579
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the best lefties and all of baseball.

580
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.279
<v Speaker 4>Look forward to it, Jose.

581
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:53.559
<v Speaker 10>Same to look forward to talking to you very soon.

582
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 10>I mean adios.

583
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, there he goes Jose Mota, part of the

584
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast. Should be a fun day on Thursday.

585
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure Freddy Freeman is going to get a

586
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:10.119
<v Speaker 2>hero's welcome at Dodger Stadium. He will live forever in

587
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Major League history with that record setting World Series that

588
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 2>he had to help the Dodger offense get over the hump,

589
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:22.200
<v Speaker 2>get over those Yankees. But more importantly, the similarities, the

590
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.759
<v Speaker 2>parallels that he had with Kirk.

591
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:28.839
<v Speaker 4>Gibson, who hit his home run in Game one of.

592
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:31.839
<v Speaker 2>The World Series, a walk off shot on basically one

593
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 2>leg against Dennis Eckersley and Freddie Freeman obviously dealing with

594
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 2>his right ankle and also the left rib cage area

595
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.559
<v Speaker 2>bothering him. We didn't know the extent of it when

596
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 2>he had that one swing of the bat Game one

597
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:50.119
<v Speaker 2>of the World Series, a walk off grand Slam, first

598
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 2>time that has ever happened in World Series history. He

599
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:56.599
<v Speaker 2>is going to get a heroes welcome, And like I

600
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>told you during the offseason, I will never get tired

601
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>of hearing where you were when Freddie Freeman hit his

602
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 2>walkoff grand Slam in Game one of the World series,

603
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.279
<v Speaker 2>and you are going to love this story from Angels

604
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.319
<v Speaker 2>manager ron Washington, who was watching Game one of the

605
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.319
<v Speaker 2>World Series last year in his home and who is

606
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.359
<v Speaker 2>very close to Freddie Freeman.

607
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.160
<v Speaker 8>If you got a minute, I want to show you

608
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 8>what I said about that.

609
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:27.160
<v Speaker 2>You are a badass, Frederick. Continue to have fun. Love

610
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:28.160
<v Speaker 2>watching you compete.

611
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Ronald?

612
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>How long ago after did you send that? As soon

613
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.200
<v Speaker 2>as you saw it after they won the game?

614
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.079
<v Speaker 4>When he hit it?

615
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.440
<v Speaker 8>When he hit it on the twenty fifth, at eight

616
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.640
<v Speaker 8>forty six pm at night, he wasn't even in the

617
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 8>clubouts yet he was still running around a basis. That's

618
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 8>what I think of Frederick. I call him Frederick, but

619
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:55.039
<v Speaker 8>that's what I think of Freeman. Great teammate, well prepared,

620
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 8>show up every day to be the very best that

621
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:04.799
<v Speaker 8>he can be, brings his teammates along, and that's why

622
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:06.519
<v Speaker 8>he was a part of that championship team over there

623
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 8>with the Dodgers.

624
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:08.680
<v Speaker 4>You know how much he loves the game.

625
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like that was one of those greatest

626
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.200
<v Speaker 2>examples of the game rewarding him.

627
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:18.279
<v Speaker 8>Well, he put hisself in position to be rewarded, and

628
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:23.839
<v Speaker 8>because the game of baseball knows Freddie Freeman. He was

629
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 8>blessed by the baseball guys, and that's how that happens.

630
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.960
<v Speaker 8>And he deserved to be MVP because he played MVP

631
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 8>caliber baseball on our bad ankle, on our bad ankle,

632
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 8>and he didn't complain about nothing.

633
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 4>Never do.

634
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 5>That's Freddy Freeman.

635
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.680
<v Speaker 2>How about that Angels manager Ron Washington, who is the

636
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:50.160
<v Speaker 2>third base coach with Freddie when the Braves won the

637
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 2>World Series a few years back, showing me his phone

638
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.960
<v Speaker 2>his text records to Freddie Freeman or as he called him, Frederick.

639
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 2>As soon as Freddie hit that wall off Grand Slam,

640
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>before he even touched home plate, Ron Washington was sending

641
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.639
<v Speaker 2>a text to congratulate his former player and still to

642
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:13.000
<v Speaker 2>this day very close to the World Series hero, Freddie Freeman.

643
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.239
<v Speaker 2>So it should be a great day on Thursday, and

644
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.199
<v Speaker 2>an even better day on Friday when the Dodgers received

645
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 2>their championship rings. We will see you out there at
