Let's welcome in, 30 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:18.719 David Vasse and Dave. 31 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.079 Good afternoon, Rodney. 32 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.879 Thank god you're back. It's so much more pleasurable to 33 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:25.840 listen to the show and come on the show when 34 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:26.359 you're there. 35 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.959 Wow, Dave, you're actually being nice to me. He was 36 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.719 actually nice to me when you weren't here. So I 37 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.200 don't know how I got lumped into the bad side again. 38 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:37.599 David. 39 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.000 Well, that's my barbecue, brother. It's the Rogan and Rodney show. 40 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.640 It's not the Rogan and Still in the Blank show. 41 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.280 Okay, all right, I don't think you have to do that. Okay, David, 42 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.000 Here we go Cleveland in town. But let's just let's 43 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.599 go over a couple of things. Number one, the bone 44 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.359 bruise on Clayton Kershaw's big toe. How bad do you 45 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:00.719 think you'll pitch again this year? 46 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.560 Yes, of course he will pitch again this year. It's 47 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.840 turf toe. Rodney, I'm sure has experienced or had teammates 48 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.159 experience it. He's probably in a walking boot when nobody 49 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.240 else sees him. He doesn't want to look vulnerable out 50 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.759 on the field in front of other players and media. 51 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.080 So I feel like he will pitch again, and they 52 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.479 kind of need him to pitch again because the starting 53 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.319 pitching is extremely thin as we speak right now. 54 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.520 Yeah, very thin, Dave. How much does that concern you? 55 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.400 And then as we go into the rest of this 56 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.120 month and leading in October, what do you what do 57 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.159 you think the rotation will be like once we start 58 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:42.759 the playoffs. 59 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.439 I know it's hard to judge, but man, is what 60 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:46.199 do you think it? 61 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.560 Yeah, that's a great question, Rodney. I'm not sure anybody 62 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.120 can answer that question right now because so many guys 63 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.159 are possibilities and not certainties. And you look at even 64 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.840 a guy like Gavin Stone, who has made more starts 65 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.439 and pitched more innings than any other pitcher on the staff, 66 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.000 He's never been this far in his professional career. Are 67 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.800 we certain that he's not going to have any bumps 68 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.919 along the way? So all I could say, Rodney is 69 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.879 right now the biggest thing you could say about this 70 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.520 Dodger team, which has a great lineup. Everybody's healthy in 71 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.560 that department. The biggest vulnerability is they're pitching. And I 72 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.319 feel like that's just a fact. I'm not trying to 73 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.680 poke holes in anything here, but if you had to 74 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.159 pick one thing that makes the Dodgers vulnerable to start 75 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.840 the postseason, it's their pitching. 76 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.360 Yeah, I agree. 77 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.319 And because it feels like the offense has kind of 78 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.000 found their way, Dave, especially the top three as they've 79 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.960 been healthy for the last few weeks. The top three, 80 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.280 and then you know, you throw in Max Monzy, will 81 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.439 Smith seems of getting it back to Oscar has been 82 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.919 ta Oscar all season long. It feels like the offense 83 00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.759 is going to take care of itself. But it is 84 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.360 that that's that's starting pitching. And you you mentioned this 85 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.879 to us that you know, Yamamoto has kind of been 86 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.840 more ready than than. 87 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.879 We actually knew he was ready. 88 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.159 How do you feel about him going into you know, 89 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.480 the rest of this month and into the postseason. He's 90 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.720 going to be a major factor, is and and talk 91 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.480 about his help. 92 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.720 Yeah, well that's why the Dodgers signed him to the 93 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.839 richest contract of any major league pitcher in the history 94 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.240 of the game. Rodney right to be a difference maker, 95 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.040 not in May, but in October. So I'm curious to 96 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.000 see what version of Yamamoto we get in our first 97 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.920 look back off the I L on Tuesday Night, and 98 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.040 whether or not he's able to build upon it. Like 99 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.720 Walker bwer has recently, they need Yamamoto. That that's what 100 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.079 the Dodgers set out to do this offseason, to be 101 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.959 in a better position with their starting pitching than they 102 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.839 were when their season ended last year. And there's an 103 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.360 argument to be made. Even Dave Roberts said this on 104 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.319 the record, it may not be even as good as 105 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.920 last year with all the injuries and question marks surrounding 106 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:06.560 the rotation. 107 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.319 All right, Dave, Bobby Miller, he'll go back at it 108 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.000 again next week. I think that's a pretty important start 109 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.000 for him as they try to make decisions about the 110 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.319 roster for the postseason. 111 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:17.040 What do you think? 112 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.680 Yeah, I agree, Fred. I feel like right now Bobby 113 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.360 Miller would be on the outside looking when it comes 114 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.040 to being part of the playoff roster. I think that's 115 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.319 the furthest thing that anybody can talk about when it 116 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.600 comes to Bobby. He hasn't shown any signs that he 117 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.279 belongs in a playoff game, So yeah, I feel like 118 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.279 it's a big start to prove that maybe he's back 119 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.160 on track. But the facts are he's got to be 120 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.120 smarter with his pitches, and there is no doubt that 121 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.000 he's still dealing with a left knee issue that's affecting 122 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.240 a lot in my opinion, So you're talking about somewhat 123 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.480 of a wounded pitcher that is trying to go out 124 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.720 there and be there for the team. 125 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.279 Hey, Dave, do you think that there will be when 126 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.199 it's all said and done we start to playoffs, a 127 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.639 definitive closer or it will be more situational, whether it 128 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.240 be trying to you know, Phillip, whoever it may be. 129 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.040 Do you think it's some Is it someone that's going 130 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.360 to be clear cut the actual closer or situational? 131 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.680 Now I feel like it's going to be a situational thing, Rodney. 132 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.240 If you go back and look at different teams that 133 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.279 have won the World Series recently, there hasn't been too 134 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.839 many that have had their dedicated closer in the regular 135 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:37.360 season be the last man standing. So I think everybody 136 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.279 goes to whoever's hot and whoever's going to get the 137 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.639 job done. But obviously Michael Kopek's been an immense improvement 138 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.439 over what they've had at the back end of their bullpen. 139 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.519 And it's Evan Phillips bobblehead night tomorrow. So you hope 140 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.160 Evan can continue to be a good, reliable reliever for 141 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.600 the Dodgers that have a lot of guys that have 142 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.399 a lot of miles on their arms. 143 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.600 Dave I made the point last week with Chris Taylor. 144 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.480 I think he's in like two to eighty since July twenty. 145 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.639 If he's getting more opportunities. You follow the club, you 146 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.360 see him every day. Do you see him earning more 147 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.439 time and not just to find out what he's about. 148 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.240 He'll get time against lefties. I don't see him getting 149 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.800 time outside of that because Gavin Lux has been really good. 150 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.160 So he'll spot start against lefti's and he'll come off 151 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.680 the bench against lefties. Because of the way Gavin Lux 152 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.920 has emerged, there's really nobody else to really take out 153 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.240 other than if you have Tommy Edmond at shortstop and 154 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.879 you want to go with more offense, you might have 155 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.879 Chris Taylor in center field. If the matchup dictates it, 156 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.959 but honestly, it's more about the rest of the players 157 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.319 and Chris Taylor contributing in those ways. Like you said, Fred, 158 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.480 I've been saying on Dodger Talk with everybody calling for 159 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.519 Chris Taylor head. If you look at his last twenty 160 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.519 six games before going on the IL, he had an 161 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.480 eight hundred ohps and his strikeout rate was down to 162 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.000 twenty one percent. Just to put it in context for you, 163 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.360 strikeout rates, the average is twenty five to twenty seven 164 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:21.079 percent this season, so he's even below the league average. 165 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.560 Dave, do you see you mentioned Tommy Edmunds. You see 166 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.600 him being the shortstop going into the postseason or is 167 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.000 it Mickey Rojas or is it situational right left? I mean, 168 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.320 I know he's technically a switch hitter, meaning edmund But 169 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.279 who do you see being the the regular shortstop going 170 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.360 into the post Heedon, I think. 171 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.159 The way we've seen it, Rodney Edmund in center, Miguel 172 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.080 Rojas for the majority of the games, and if there's 173 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.639 a lefty on the mound, then I think you're still 174 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.159 going to see Edmund in center and Rojas age short. 175 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.639 If there's a righty on the Mound. I think there's 176 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.080 an argument to be me that you'll see both in 177 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:00.639 the lineup. 178 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:01.720 I don't. 179 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:03.799 I feel like if you need to win a game, 180 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.279 you're going to have those two guys in the lineup, 181 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.919 and that's been the way the Dodgers have played it. 182 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.159 The only time maybe you've seen Edmond at shortstop is 183 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.639 to give Rojas a day off. 184 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:20.240 Gotcha Cleveland in town tonight, Dave started the series against 185 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:25.559 the quality opponent. As we continue down this road, I 186 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.840 think it's better the Dodgers play good teams and bad 187 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.639 to be quite honest with you, to get them ready. 188 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.320 Do you agree. 189 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.679 Well, we said that last year as well. I think 190 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.159 what's pushing the Dodgers is being this close in a 191 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.440 Pennant race or a division race than they have been 192 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.559 since twenty twenty one. I think that's what's pushing the 193 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.879 Dodgers to stay on their game and have the urgency 194 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.639 to play through the finish line rather than just coasting 195 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.320 for the entire month, more so than the pitcher they're 196 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.840 facing or the team they're facing. And by the way, 197 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.879 the Guardians have been one of the worst teams in 198 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.720 baseball since the All Star breaks, so they're catching a 199 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.840 team that was not as good as they were in 200 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.720 the first half. I'm sure you already knew that, Fred. 201 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.679 Fred, Yeah, Fred knew that for sure, for sure. Dave, 202 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.720 you you talked about this, and we. 203 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:16.720 Talked he is a Cleveland guy. 204 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.320 Back down inside. We we talked about that and just 205 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.200 motivation for different guys. 206 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.799 And we saw that the other night. 207 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.840 Uh, you know, Otani gets walked and Mooki comes up 208 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.080 and hits the home run, and he talked about, Hey, 209 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.480 you know, regardless, you understand it's the right baseball play, 210 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.720 but at the same time, you feel as a player 211 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.000 you're being disrespected and and it felt it was a 212 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.759 little special for me to hit the home run, you know, 213 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.159 at that at that moment, do you feel like this 214 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.559 is kind of where they're gonna stay with this lineup? 215 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.639 Because we had talked earlier, possibly Moki who's back to 216 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.159 the lead off and then Otani goes the second. But 217 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.759 given kind of what's happened lately, do you think that 218 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.679 the Dodgers and Dave Roberts stay with this lineup? 219 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.120 Rodney, there's no chance the Dodgers go back to Mookie 220 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.399 Beds leading off and Otani hitting behind him. It's just 221 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.480 been so dynamic this way. And I know Otani's batting 222 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.960 average has not been that great the second half of 223 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.039 the season, but he is getting on base, and he 224 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.679 is getting into scoring position. And the facts are Mookie 225 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.639 Betts is the best Dodger hitter this season with runners 226 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:34.519 in scoring position. He's hitting three seventy seven this year 227 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.879 with runners in scoring position, And you want him at 228 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.600 the plate with Otani at second base or even at 229 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.120 third base, because Otani has been a stolen based threat, 230 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.240 obviously going for fifty stolen bases, Muki does not bring 231 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.759 that to the table at this point in time in 232 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:56.159 his career. So I was wrong about wanting Mooki to 233 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.879 remain in the lead off spot for the mere fact 234 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.120 that he's coming up a lot with runners in scoring position, right, 235 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.360 and I want him at the plate in those situations, 236 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.960 and Otani a lot of times is that player is 237 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.080 that runner in scoring position for him? 238 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.720 Yeah, I agree that that was the same way you 239 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.279 and I were on the same page with that that 240 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.639 I thought that Mookie should go back to the ladoff spot. 241 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.440 But the more I've looked at it and seen it 242 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.080 in these last few weeks, Otani gets on base, he 243 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.039 steals second, he's at second base, or he's at third base, 244 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.720 or even more than that. What happened the other night 245 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.879 is teams are i guess more afraid of him, and 246 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.120 they tend to maybe walk him if there's an open 247 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.799 base at first, and it brings Mooki back up. So 248 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.080 I'm with you that they got to stay the way 249 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.639 it's going right now because it seems to work best 250 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.440 for them. 251 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.200 Yeah, no doubt. And even in Arizona they did not 252 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.879 put up four fingers, but they certainly pitched around Otani 253 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.919 to get to Muki. He did not deliver in that 254 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.080 particular at that but he is going to have a 255 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.200 lot of opportunity. He's moving forward, all right. 256 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.360 Dave, thanks for jumping on. Really appreciate it today. 257 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.000 Okay, guys, have a great weekend.
