You ready to go? 14 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.119 Hell time go to the sound grab your phone to 15 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.799 get in on the show called eight six six nine 16 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.479 eighty seven two five seven. 17 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.399 I'll go to the show. 18 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.119 And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse. 19 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.399 We are lying at Corus Field in a rain delay 20 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.840 and they was windy and rainy, and we got to 21 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.000 clean up in the front row here in the radio 22 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.000 booth as the rain started to be blown into the 23 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.759 booth and Dwayne McDonald, our producer engineer, a mad scramble. 24 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.239 We closed the windows as Rick Monday and Tim Nevert 25 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.200 scrambled their way out of the front row. And now 26 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.000 it's a little cleanup. So they got some time, because 27 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.359 the rain is going to be here, probably at least 28 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.000 for the next forty minutes. Hopefully it clears out, but 29 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.079 it feels like the rain. The weather in Denver, downtown 30 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.400 Denver changes every hour. I mean, it was a beautiful 31 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.280 day all day long, and then all of a sudden, 32 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.560 as the game progressed, the black clouts came in and 33 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.599 all of a sudden we had rain burst into the 34 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.280 top of the sixth inning and they were trying to 35 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.959 play through it, and the Dodgers say, thank you very 36 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.719 much for trying to play through it, because as you 37 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.640 heard Rick and Tim mention vyro Estrada try to handle 38 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.959 a pop up on the infield at second base from 39 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.079 Max Munsey, the rain drops started to get into his 40 00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.359 eyes and he lost the ball, and all of a 41 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.359 sudden you had Dalton rushing and Shoeo Tiny score for 42 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.799 the first two runs of the game. So with two outs, 43 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.759 the Dodgers have the lead two to nothing with two 44 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:14.319 in and two outs. When play resumes, ta Oscar Hernandez 45 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.080 will be at the play with Max Munsey at first base. 46 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.120 We have phone lines open at eight six, six nine, 47 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.719 eight seven, two five seventy. This is game two of 48 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.199 this three game series between the Dodgers and Rockies, Yoshi 49 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.840 Yamamoto has been cruising. 50 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.000 In this game. 51 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.560 He has pitched five scoreless innings, and all of a sudden, 52 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.800 you know this is becoming a trend you don't want 53 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.680 to have if you're Yama Moto, because the Dodgers have 54 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.280 struggled to score runs when he's been on the mound. 55 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.039 So it's been two or fewer runs in twelve of 56 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.639 sixteen starts for Yamamoto this season. He's the guy that 57 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.639 is not getting a lot of runs support. I remember 58 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.159 year back in the mid nineties it seemed to be 59 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.199 knuckleballer Tom Candiotti that never got run support one season. 60 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.879 So this does occur. 61 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.639 But you want your best pitcher to be able to 62 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.879 get some run support. And at least the Dodgers scored 63 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:16.960 too in the top half of that sixth inning. 64 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.479 Likely Yama motos night. 65 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.000 Is over because of this extended delay, and it was 66 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.520 one out a way from him being on the mound 67 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.719 instead of Chase Dolander who was on the mound for 68 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.039 the Rockies. So Yama motos Night likely done after five 69 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:39.159 scoreless innings eight six, six, seven, two five seventy is 70 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.400 the phone number in case you're wondering if Freddie Freeman 71 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.159 busted out of his slump tonight. 72 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.280 He has not. 73 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.360 He's zero for three. He grinded out to short, to second, 74 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.439 and to first base in the sixth inning before the 75 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.919 rain came down. After month, seas pop up to dyro 76 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.319 Estrada and Chase Dolander. 77 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.919 You may not know his name, but he's one. 78 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.080 Of the heart throwing young Rockies and he's gonna be around. 79 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.520 For a while. 80 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.439 You have to believe not only Dolander, but the Rockies 81 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.360 get up for this game, this series against the Dodgers, 82 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.280 because frankly, they. 83 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.639 Don't have anything to play for. 84 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.279 They're on pace to lose more games than any other 85 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.319 team in modern Major League Baseball history. They're on pace 86 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.560 to lose one hundred and twenty five games. That would 87 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.319 be a new record, considering the White Sox set the 88 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.040 all time loss record just last year one hundred and 89 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.800 twenty one losses, and the Rockies only have eighteen wins 90 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:38.879 this season. 91 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.040 They're on pace to lose one hundred and twenty five. 92 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.800 So Chase Dolander, a rookie, a heart throwing right hander, 93 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.560 is looking to make an impression not only on the Dodgers, 94 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.160 but for the rest of the season. And you have 95 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.480 to imagine he brought his a game tonight, and he 96 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.759 certainly did. The Dodgers set fits against Dolanders fastball tonight, 97 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.519 haven't been able to do much of anything until that 98 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.319 sixth inning with a little assist from the rain. And 99 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.000 speaking of the Rockies and their record, if you look 100 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.920 at these two teams, the Dodgers and Rockies, going back 101 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.000 to twenty eighteen, when the Rockies were good enough to 102 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.600 force a game won sixty three with the Dodgers to decide. 103 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.360 Who would be the NLS champions. 104 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.959 That's right, these Rockies, just to mirror what eight years ago, 105 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.279 we're forcing the Dodgers into a Game one sixty three 106 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.879 to decide who was going to be the NLS champion. 107 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.120 Since that game won sixty three behind Walker Bueler and 108 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.720 Corey Seeger. That beat the Rockies and gave the Dodgers 109 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.360 another NLS crown. 110 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.839 The Rockies have lost five. 111 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.399 Hundred and seventy one games since game won sixty three 112 00:05:58.879 --> 00:05:59.879 in twenty eighteen. 113 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:00.480 That's right. 114 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.920 The Rockies record since Game one sixty three and twenty 115 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.519 eighteen three hundred and seventy seven wins five hundred and 116 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.240 seventy one losses. They're on their way to their third 117 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.079 one hundred loss season since that game won sixty three 118 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.120 in twenty eighteen. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven two 119 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.160 five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to 120 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.160 the phones, and we're also going to share our pregame 121 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:31.759 conversation with US Open winner and huge Dodger fan JJ Spawn. 122 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.040 As we are in a rain delay here at Corsfield, 123 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.800 let's go out to Boyle Heights. 124 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.680 Robert, You're on Dodger Talk live from Denver. 125 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.240 Hi, Robert, Hi, how's it going, Dave? 126 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:44.319 Thanks for taking my call. 127 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.279 I just wanted to ask if he knew any information 128 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.600 about Bruce ar Graderol and his progression. 129 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:51.079 Yeah. 130 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.360 You know what, we haven't heard a lot about Bruce 131 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.639 Argraderol other than he won't be ready until the second 132 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.240 half of the season at the early So we haven't 133 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:06.360 seen Bruce dark Graderol since the Dodgers played the Diamondbacks 134 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.279 in Arizona because obviously that's where their headquarters is for 135 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.839 kemel Back Ranch out there in Glendale. So no, but 136 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.279 good news about Blake trining, he's on his way back. 137 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.199 We've heard from him. And did you hear about Emmitt 138 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.720 Shean today, Robert. 139 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.560 Oh, yeah, actually I did six shutout innings. 140 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.199 I heard. 141 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:29.680 A little bit better than that. 142 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.079 Six perfect innings for Oklahoma City today in Sacramento with 143 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.199 thirteen strikeouts. Emit Shean certainly is going to be a 144 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.480 big part of this Dodger rotation. Yeah, Robert, oh wow, 145 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.360 is one hundred percent right. And look, Emitt she and 146 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.480 the Dodgers did not demote him just because they didn't 147 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.160 think he was good enough. They didn't want him to 148 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.959 pitch at Corse Field. He's just coming back from Tommy 149 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:59.120 John surgery pitching in games. They probably didn't want him 150 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.800 pitching on regular rest without a day off in Kansas 151 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:03.439 City either. 152 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:04.800 So they could. 153 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.279 Control his build up program better by sending him down 154 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.000 to Oklahoma City. And Dave Roberts said before the game today, 155 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.920 you're gonna see Emt Sheen back here sooner rather than later, 156 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.319 maybe as soon as the next Homestand so that's great 157 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.720 news for Emmitt Shean. Yes, six perfect innings today for 158 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.519 Oklahoma City. He was overpowering with his fastball and slider 159 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.519 with thirteen strikeouts. And when you see Emma Sheen, if 160 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.240 you ever have a chance to come to Dodger Stadium 161 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.519 and watch she and pitch, you will notice a big 162 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:44.279 difference and his size and strength since he went on 163 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.080 the il and since he started to recover from Tommy 164 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.000 John's surgery. 165 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.039 I thought Dave Roberts said it perfectly. 166 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.919 Today he is bigger and more physical than he was 167 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.840 before he had the surgery. So not only was he 168 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.200 working on his throwing program, he was working in the 169 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:01.720 weight room. 170 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.720 He is a beast, He's a monster. 171 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.039 Right now, eight six six nine, eight seven two five 172 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.639 seventy is the phone number. Dodgers leading the Rockies two 173 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.360 to nothing at Corsfield. We are in a rain delay 174 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.960 with two outs in the top of the sixth inning. 175 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.759 The rain has calmed down a bit here at coors Field, 176 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.919 but it's still falling. Let's go out to Irvine. Ian 177 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.679 you're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. 178 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:26.000 Ian. 179 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.200 Hey, David, how you doing doing great? 180 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.039 Can you real good? 181 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.240 Okay? Cool? 182 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.559 Hey? I wanted to just ask I saw some of them. 183 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:40.279 Recently on Paul schemes, you know, possibly being shocked around. 184 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.080 You know, obviously the Pirates season is most likely over, 185 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.480 and the Dodgers might be a huge, you know, proponent 186 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.679 to get him and maybe give away like a lot 187 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.120 of people, including Rokie and some of these minor league players. 188 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.879 So I wanted to see what your thoughts were if 189 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:57.720 if the Dodgers were to do something like that. 190 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.200 Ian, let me ask you a qu if the Pirates 191 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.480 were to trade Paul Skins, who is just in his 192 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:10.200 first full season in Major League Baseball with six more 193 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:15.720 years of controllable salary here, don't you think that if 194 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.960 the Pirates traded him, they should probably just contract the franchise. 195 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.720 I mean, why would they do that? And would that 196 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.840 be good for the game. Do you think the other 197 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.519 twenty nine teams or twenty eight teams in baseball would 198 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.759 allow or even want the Pirates to a trade Skiings 199 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.759 and b trade him to the Dodgers. 200 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:36.799 No, of course not. 201 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.399 I mean this all started. 202 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.720 This all started with a Jeff Passing appearance on the 203 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:45.000 Pat McAfee show. 204 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.480 And I love Jeff and. 205 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:52.000 He is definitely an outspoken critic of the Pirates ownership 206 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.759 and rightfully so. Did Skeen's agent tell him to put 207 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.440 this out there? 208 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.879 Because it makes. 209 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.879 Absolutely zero sense that the Pirates would even consider trading 210 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.840 Paul Skins, let alone trading him to the Dodgers. 211 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.200 I mean, I just thought because of the control that 212 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.320 he does have for that long a period of time, 213 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.000 I know that they get to use him for a while, 214 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.240 but they're not gonna be able to afford him, you know, 215 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.120 by the time that his contract comes up. 216 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.600 So yeah, but that's. 217 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.840 Three or four years from now, that's even five years 218 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.000 from now. Ian, it's not right now. Wouldn't you believe 219 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.759 the pirates wouldn't be better to believe the Pirates would 220 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.480 try to build around Paul Skins rather than trading him 221 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.080 right away. 222 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:33.440 Now. 223 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.159 I mean that that's just like we're starting to get 224 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.840 into NBA territory where every good young player was going 225 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.840 to be traded to the Lakers and that doesn't happen. 226 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.960 Come on, Ian, that you're a smart guy. It sounds like, 227 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.440 does that really add up to you Paul Skins being 228 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.200 traded to the Dodgers this year? 229 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.919 Come on, it was a hot it. 230 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.799 I just want to see what your thoughts were on it. 231 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.759 I think it's as a clown question. How about that? 232 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.399 Oh no, no, in a good way, not by you. 233 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.600 But others, you're just delivering the question to me. 234 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:10.919 Well, thanks, David, appreciate it. 235 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.159 Okay, Ian, thanks for the phone call. Yeah, that's the 236 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.519 most ridiculous thing I have heard. Okay, So here's another 237 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.120 layer to this. The Pirates are going to trade Paul 238 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.399 Skiings five years before he's close to free agency. They're 239 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:30.559 going to acquire, let's just estimate, five blue chip prospects that, 240 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.039 if they believe they're really good at some point, are 241 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.759 going to have to pay them when. 242 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.759 They hit free agency. 243 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.799 So you're telling me the guy that everybody shows up 244 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.440 to watch in Pittsburgh, the Pirates can't afford to pay. 245 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.799 So that's why they're going to trade him. But they're 246 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.720 going to take on five or six other blue chip 247 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.919 players that if they can't pay Paul Skiings, how are 248 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.639 they going to pay these five or six players. If 249 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.559 you stop to think about it, it just doesn't make sense. 250 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.360 The Pirates need to build around Paul Skins. They've got 251 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.159 five years to do it. They're not going to trade 252 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.279 Paul Skins. And come on, I feel very strong about it, 253 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.639 strongly about this. If the Pirates traded Paul Skins to 254 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.000 the Dodgers, they should just contract the franchise, because what 255 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.240 are you doing? Are you really trying to win? If 256 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.320 you do that, and that's how ridiculous it is, it's 257 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.360 not gonna happen. Eight six six nine eight seven two 258 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.919 five seventy is the phone number David Vase live at 259 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.399 Corsfield in Denver. We are in a rain delay, Dodgers 260 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.080 leading two to nothing in the top of the sixth 261 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.720 inning with two outs. Let's go out to Malibu. Bob, 262 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.600 you want to take a victory lap because you were 263 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:41.919 at Game one sixty three. 264 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:44.879 I want to take a victory lap with you. I 265 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.919 know you were probably there too as well, Dave, and 266 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.919 you also probably remember what happened late in that game 267 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.840 in the ninth when our men Kenley Jansen came into 268 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:53.240 that game. 269 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.679 It got Harry there for a second with two back. 270 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.320 To back home runs by the Rockies. 271 00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.639 I try to block that out. 272 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.919 Actually, well, we came out on top. 273 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.759 This was great, but a fun day at the ballfar 274 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.440 for Game one sixty three. On the note of the 275 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.519 last call day and talking about selling the franchise, I 276 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.480 have a question how much does mlbing, other ownership and 277 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.039 the commissioner and everybody play into a franchise like the 278 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.320 Rockies being asked or even forced to sell a dying 279 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.360 franchise if they don't feel like maybe enough's not being 280 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.679 reinvested in the team, or it's just not given enough 281 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.440 back to baseball. How much play to other people or 282 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.879 say do other teams ownership have in that decision to 283 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:38.879 sell a franchise? 284 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.000 They have, some say, but I mean we've seen owners 285 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.960 throughout the years really not put the investment back into 286 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.519 the roster. So you know, as long as they're not 287 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.399 embarrassing the league or nothing gets spilled up publicly and 288 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.399 a divorce, then I think it's it's kind of status quo. 289 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.000 A team like the Rockies days. Do they need to 290 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.720 sell that franchise and bring a new ownership. 291 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.639 Well, that's not up to me to say, and I 292 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.840 don't really know the situation as well, But you would 293 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.840 hope that this owner one day would reinvest in the 294 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.759 team because a lot of fans come here to watch 295 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:23.720 winning baseball. But I don't think he's done anything egregious 296 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.960 that would say the rest of the twenty nineteen should 297 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:27.879 force him to sell. 298 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.480 I don't believe that's the case. 299 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.080 Good, that's fair. 300 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.279 I just wanted to know maybe how much other teams 301 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:33.759 had to say. 302 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.559 I mean, you know, it seems like he. 303 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.639 Has to get really messy. It would have to be 304 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.759 really messy. It would have to be really. 305 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.799 It would have to affect a team getting thank you 306 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.759 for the phone call. It would also have to, you know, 307 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.679 come into play. If you're not able to get a 308 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.240 new stadium in your city, I think that would raise 309 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.759 the antennas of the rest of the league. But they've 310 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.879 got a great ballpark here at Coursefield, and the fans. 311 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:00.320 Uh. 312 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.360 They had thirty five thousand last night for the Dodgers 313 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.240 in a summertime, midweek game. So the fans still come out, 314 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.879 and you just hope that the fans can be rewarded 315 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.919 with some good drafting and development and also some smart signings. 316 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.720 You can't force an owner to sell just because they 317 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.759 make some mistakes and trades and signings and all that. 318 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:24.039 I mean that Chris Bryant signing. They spent money, but 319 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.200 it wasn't wisely.

How you doing, Joseph. 328 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.360 I'm doing good. I hope you're staying dry. 329 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.320 We're all drying now, the windows closed. 330 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:03.399 Nice. 331 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:03.759 Yeah. 332 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.440 One of my friends lives out there and he's like, well, 333 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:13.079 it's raining. What's all this talk about, like the trades? 334 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.119 I guess the Dodgers being linked to so many trades, 335 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.720 pitch ideas, and then this whole thing of Chris Dale 336 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.480 and just I saw some articles about like in the 337 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.359 rumor mill. I guess, like, I guess why the teas 338 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.200 with Well. 339 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.680 You're gonna see a lot of rumors between as we 340 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.880 get closer to July thirty. First, you're gonna see a 341 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.279 lot of rumors, so be ready for that. And the 342 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.519 Dodgers are the premier team and everybody knows they're trying 343 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.240 to go forward again for back to back championships. So 344 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.799 you're gonna see a lot of those rumors and look, 345 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:53.079 am I certain starting pitching is what the Dodgers were 346 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.960 going to put at the top of their list. I'm not, 347 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.359 but it could make sense to add another cantrollable starting pitcher. 348 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.599 I'm a huge Chrissale fan. He is a guy that 349 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.200 you would want on your pitching staff in the postseason. 350 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.640 Another guy that the Marlins are going to be listening 351 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.880 about is Sandy al Cantata, and the Dodgers have a 352 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:20.039 lot of blue chip players, including tonight's starting catcher Dalton Rushing, 353 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.160 who's not starting. He's a backup that teams like the 354 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.440 Marlins may want. So you're gonna you're gonna hear a 355 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.880 lot of that. M hm. 356 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:35.279 I guess, like basically, what about is there? They're not 357 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.960 gonna touch Kim though, right, They're keeping Kim. 358 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.880 Yeah, they like him. I don't think he's going anywhere, Joseph. 359 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.799 But if there's a player that can make a huge difference, 360 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.559 you got to give something to get something. 361 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.920 But I don't think Kim's going anywhere. 362 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:53.400 Thanks a lot for the phone call, Joseph appreciated eight 363 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.720 sixty six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. 364 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.440 By the way, speaking of Paul Skeins and the Pirates, 365 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.920 the guy that you know the Pirates realistically may consider 366 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.559 trading is their relief pitcher. He was their closer than 367 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.839 he wasn't now he is again David Bednar. I mean 368 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.119 Andrew Friedman was on Petro Some Money show a month 369 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:18.640 ago after Evan Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery and was 370 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.240 on the record as saying the Dodgers will be looking 371 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.839 for a right handed reliever, and David Bednar maybe that 372 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.680 type of guy. So I feel like right now the 373 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.759 Dodgers may be looking for a right handed reliever, maybe 374 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:37.759 an outfielder, and starting pitching definitely is never off the table. 375 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.200 Eight six, six nine seven two five seventy is the 376 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:43.960 phone number. Let's go out to Corona, Ronnie. You're on 377 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.680 Dodger Talk with David Vess. 378 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.359 Hi, Ronnie, how you doing? Dv doing good? 379 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:50.839 Hey? 380 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.240 So, I had a question. 381 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.319 I know Kershaw's pitching tomorrow. He's eight strikeouts away from 382 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.759 three thousand. Yeah, what do you think the odd tomorrow? 383 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.599 I see if he lights out pitch is super low. 384 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.960 If he got to maybe like seven strikeouts that doctor 385 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.960 took him out. That way he could do the three 386 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.119 thousand mark at home, in front of his home. 387 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:10.480 For doubt. 388 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.200 Yeah, I thought about that, and I feel like, you know, 389 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.319 here at Coursfield, Dave Roberts is not going to let 390 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.319 him go past seven innings. And Dave understands, you know, 391 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.920 the celebration for Kershaw reaching three thousand strikeouts, So I 392 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.319 could I could see him allowing him to be one 393 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:34.359 short and pulling him so he could achieve that at 394 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.039 Dodger Stadium. I think it's got to come into context 395 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.319 of the outing and the game. But I will say this, Ronnie, 396 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.640 how many strikeouts would you imagine Kershaw getting within five innings? 397 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:49.359 I feel like the over under on Kershaw strikeouts tomorrow realistically, 398 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.559 and I feel like I'm being a little generous is 399 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.839 six and a half. I feel like that's a very 400 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.759 generous over under for strikeouts for Kershaw tomorrow. 401 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.640
