Starting point is 00:01:39 This is an embarrassing game. This was a pathetic game of another futile effort from this Dodgers offense. And welcome to a live postgame edition of Dodgers territory. That was a very strange way to end a ballgame. But honestly, it should never have come to that point anyway. Welcome to DT, guys. I'm Alonarizzo. That is Clint to see us.

Some new items are on there, some onesies, some golf stuff, some other things. Dodgers territory shop.com. All right, let's get into this madness that was a game one, game 31 of 162, the rubber match, if you will, with the Dodgers and Clayton McCullough's
Starting point is 00:02:54 Miami Marlins. It was a good pitching matchup, Clint. Like you like the probabilities when you, you sit down for the day, Sandy Alcantra and Tyler Glass now. I'm digging that matchup. It's just the offense can't get it going. The bats are quiet again. What do you make of it? This is an embarrassing game. This was a pathetic game of another futile effort from this Dodgers offense. Yeah, I mean, on paper, we knew it was going to be tough to put points on the board. Alcantra has had himself a really nice season. Tyler Glasnow has been very good for the greater part of the season. And, I mean, matched that sort of billing. Of course, both teams were afforded a lot of opportunity. Six walks. We'll get into Glasnow more a little bit later. But he issued six walks. I think what?
Starting point is 00:03:41 two of those of the intentional variety. The Dodgers had five of nine or five, I guess it was six of nine, you know, first lead off batters on. That's what I'm going for across the course of this game. And they can only scratch across two runs. One of them was a gift from the son of the battered Alex call in that second inning.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Just overall, very tough game, very tough homestand, very tough. thus said the homestand, but tough series for the Dodgers. Marlins win their first series against the Dodgers. I think Stephen Nelson said at the end of the game since 2018. Woof, ugly game, uglier ending.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah, you know, and I do think that not many people, with the exception of Ken Rosenthal, gave the Marlins any sort of cachet this year. I think a lot of people thought like, oh, the Marlins are the Marlins. I think they're better than we think, Clint, but they're not better than the Los Angeles Dodgers. And they played better than the Dodgers did in this three-game set.
Starting point is 00:04:41 But by and large, they are not the better team. They just took advantage of the opportunities. And let's talk about those opportunities from an offensive perspective with the Los Angeles Dodgers. When we were going through the game today and putting our notes in as far as the offense is concerned. I mean, the Dodgers had opportunities, right? I mean, what, five of the seven innings, they got the lead off man across, but they weren't able to kind of scratch a run. Either you have to scratch a run and get it across home any way you can. Here's the thing I think about that, though, too, is while they're all kind of slumping right now,
Starting point is 00:05:14 it has to, the pendulum has to swing, right? It has to get to the point where these bats are hot again, or at least somebody starts getting things going, but you can't leave a man stranded out there when you get the lead-off guy on. You just can't do that. Yeah, a number of times, too, we saw it a lot in this series, and we're going to go with the recency bias of that. A lot of times where there's a runner on third with fewer than two outs, and you're not seeing, you're not seeing old school baseball where guys are going to shorten their swing.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Just get a ball to the outfield. Get that runner home. I'm not going to be one of those people that's here clamoring for fire the hitting coaches because I don't think this is RBS. I don't think this is Aaron Bates. I don't think it's Dave Roberts saying, hey, go up there and take your G hack, get your A swing off on every single opportunity. But to find a way to drive in a few more runs, a few more. a few more runs wins this ball game but instead you know we're faced with bases loaded
Starting point is 00:06:13 one out freddie freeman which by the way we need to have a little bit of a conversation about freddie freeman because he has thrown us for i don't know if it's thrown for a loop but we were playing with a little bit of fools gold here coming out of spring training we thought he was going to be great and it's been a bad season a number of ways for freddie freeman but bounces into that weird double play show hey off the you know is called out for getting out of the baseline and that was all she wrote for this team just um you know ugly effort ugly effort all around from the dodge well i mean i don't know that it was ugly effort it was ugly execution right i think i never question this team's effort i just don't but what i will say is you're thankful that freddie
Starting point is 00:06:56 freeman obviously gets the double in the bottom of the second inning he gets that to right field and then alex call singles as you mentioned it clint it's basically a sun pop-up that's not caught So that scored Muncie. It ties the game at one. And then Astorri, the former Dodger, I think he played, what, six to seven games with this, got his World Series ring. Congratulations. It's a solo shot, which is fine.
Starting point is 00:07:15 You can deal with solo shots. It was a wall scraper. It barely left the yard. That was in the fifth. That gave the Marlins a two to one lead, Dalton rushing the RBI first, RBI single, rather, in the six to tie it up. And then Javier Sinoja, the bloop RBI single. I mean, neither team was on this offensive onslaught.
Starting point is 00:07:32 But the Marlins did enough and the Dodgers didn't. And there you have it. And then you have that weird double play to end the game. That's just kind of emblematic of the way that the offense has been playing right now. But again, I always feel like the day starts with your starting pitcher. And I think by and large, if we want to talk about Glasnow for a hot second, I think by and large, Tyler Glassnow had a decent start. I don't know what your opinion is on it. Five and two thirds, three hits, two runs of the six walks. So that was a, that was a killer. That's a killer. And then he did have nine Ks, comes up short in terms of career strikeout 3,000. he'll get it his next start. Excuse me, 1000. He'll get it his next start. Unfortunately, it's on the road and it's not at home. But by and large, a decent outing from Glass. What do you make of it?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yeah, I mean, he did enough to keep his team in the game. You see the little cryout in the bottom I put on their really good, bad game for Tyler Glass now. But talked about this last night on my old Dodgers show. Like the good pitchers find a way to battle without their best up. Very clearly, Glass did not have his best stuff last night or tonight. And he kept his team in the game. It's about the Dodger offense right now. And it's funny because you look at like the team offense as a whole.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yeah, they're still really good in terms of numbers. You're seeing it on the screen if you're watching their second baseball in team average. They're second and first in baseball in team OPS. But like you said, just a little bit ago, Riz, it comes down to the execution. And they're not executing. They're not hitting with runners in scoring position. They're not, you know, not moving a runner over when you need to. I mean, we did there in the ninth inning.
Starting point is 00:09:09 A really good bunt from Alex Freeland. I mean, really good. Was Freeland. Yeah, really good with a little bit of an asterisk because there was probably an opportunity to get the lead runner at second base or a head runner at second base. But that didn't happen. So we'll call it. He executed his job, got a bun down. Of course, that just immediately opens the door for Clayton McCullet.
Starting point is 00:09:30 It'll make sure he walks show Hey O Totti, which, duh, that's what you're going to do. You're going to do that. That's a given. Yeah. But yeah, and again, we've seen that a lot over, really in the series and over the last week. And, you know, there's so many ways you could look at this. I really want to start shining a light and we don't need to do it immediately.
Starting point is 00:09:50 But I want to start shining a light on the fact that this team is playing without Marcus Lynn Betts. And I think we're starting to see the fallout of not having Mookie in that lineup. Just one professional at that. I think that's a great point. I mean, obviously your lineup is different without Mookie in it. But to me, in no disrespect to Mookiee, but I think a guy like when Munchy's out of the lineup, I feel like the team suffers more than when Mookiee's out of the lineup. The reason being is because Muncie is more of a middle of the order hitter.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Mookie's more of a lead off one two guy table setter. And I really felt like when Muncie was hurt, this team was really struggling to be where they were supposed to be in the order. And the thing about Muncie is he forces the opposition to throw a lot of pitches, right? Even if, I mean, his on base has always been good. Even if he's striking out, he's getting the walks. He's a patient hitter. And of course, he hits bombs.
Starting point is 00:10:40 That's a given. I always feel like Max Muncie's going to hit 30 a year, at least 25. So I'm wondering what you think about that, though. I mean, what was, I don't remember exactly what was Mookie hitting before the oblique injury and before he hit the I.L. But again, to your point, to your point, it's not quite the same. and everyone's kind of shifted. So you're not able to construct your lineup the way that you want to. But yeah, they got to do something because it's certainly not to get it easier.
Starting point is 00:11:09 So there you have it. There's the thing, right? He would say he had a 179 average. Two home runs. Okay, he's not a home run hitter, but the seven. But I mean, look at the OBP, the slug, the OPS. It's average, right? It's nothing that is like to write home about.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So he wasn't, it wasn't like he was on some offensive just tear before he got hurt. That being said, it does shift the lineup and put guys out of position. Yeah, yeah. I mean, anytime you could have mooky bets in your lineup, you're going to be a better lineup. Even when he's down, he instills fear. Well, and defensively, too. Yeah, I'll pick him defensively short. For sure.
Starting point is 00:11:44 And again, that gives you a better bench, you know, Alex Freeland. He's actually, Freeland has been pretty decent of late, but still, Alex Freeland is not mokey bets. And it's different. You're talking about somebody who's going to be hitting in the three hole rather than hitting in the nine hole, that kind of stuff. It's not Mookie's fault, for sure. It's everybody else kind of in that lineup struggling.
Starting point is 00:12:07 When you're talking about Freddie, you're talking about, you know, months not really producing with Runners and scoring position. Andy Pahez has cooled off. Taya Oscar Hernandez has had a really bad first month. We'll talk more about that. The first month as a whole with Katie tomorrow and we're live at 12 o'clock. But, yeah, you know, if this wraps up the month of April, They are 20 and 11.
Starting point is 00:12:31 They are currently in first place in the National League West. But there are some questions. There are question marks about this. It's better to have question marks because it gives us something to talk about. It would be so boring if they were 162. And no. Much more to come. We want to talk about the bullpen.
Starting point is 00:12:46 We've got other things to talk about on Dodgers territory, this live post game edition on this Wednesday. But first a word about today's show sponsor, Clint Seatgeek. What do you got? Let's talk about Seatgeek. here a little bit guys because we know the Dodgers are mercifully heading out of town. You got a day off tomorrow. First they head to
Starting point is 00:13:03 St. Louis after that they go to face our friends, our favorite teams down there team down there in Houston. While the boys were gone, I was actually looking at catching a tower buzzers game. Oh nice. I was looking into this. You can get minor league tickets on

Starting point is 00:13:31 festivals, all that kind of stuff. And Seatkeek has your back because each ticket is rated with that, that scale where things are good if it's green and it's bad if it's red. And I think that's pretty cool. Yeah, the thing you're talking about that scale,
Starting point is 00:13:47 it's just a dot, man. It's so easy. The green dot, green means good, red means bad. Every ticket is backed by their buyer guarantee. And of course,

Starting point is 00:14:19 Seat Geek, the official ticket marketplace of Major League Baseball all season long. Thank you, Seatgeek. We appreciate you. also appreciate the people in the chat hanging out with us. Let's go ahead and do this without messing things up. We got our friend, everybody's favorite person. Oh, Terry Hesdickles. Terry. Terry had $1.99 for us. This is, Freddie had $1.99 for us. Freddie looks atrocious. Terry? I'm not, listen, he's giving us so many good at bats in his careers, Dodger. I'm not giving up on Freddie Freeman. I will not. I will not.
Starting point is 00:14:54 You can still ask a question or at least bring up the fact that Freddie is struggling. And I'm sure, you know, somebody's in that clubhouse. Katie's in that clubhouse asking, hey, Freddie, how are you feeling what's going on? And he's not going to want to talk to anybody. Now, he'll be honest, though. He'll be honest. And you know what? Maybe as the calendar turns the page as we turn to Friday when it becomes May 1st,
Starting point is 00:15:16 maybe that's when Freddie turns the page. And he starts to heat up. As far as I know, he's healthy, right? As far as I know, he doesn't have any sort of ailments that have kind of of hurt him in the past particularly last season so or last postseason so um i'm i'm still i'm still in the freddie camp but yes you're right something's got to change and nobody knows that more than freddie what else do we got in the super chat land well you were mentioning richie of course richard in the chat 499 from ritchie we appreciate rich he says losing like this no offense when we need a sack
Starting point is 00:15:47 fly we hit home runs at an elevator shaft you can't be dominated by the marlins period i imagine He's a lot of worry about that. He is talking about that. But yeah. Our man, Richie Flores is just. How do you feel about the Dodgers losing two or three to the Miami Marlins? You're saying at the top of the show, I mean, they are, they deserve a little bit more credit than they are probably. Yeah, but again, the whole point in life in baseball is to win series.
Starting point is 00:16:17 You want to win every series. I don't care if it's a two game set. I don't care if it's a three game set, a four game set, a wraparound series, whatever it is. You have to take the series, especially if you're on the road. Now, I know that we were at home, calm down. But the point is you have to win series. And you're supposed to beat up on the teams that are that much lesser of a team than you are. Now, in a five game series, in a seven game series, do the Dodgers outlast the Marlins?
Starting point is 00:16:40 I believe so. But that doesn't matter right now. Again, it goes back to the saying, you know, you can't win the championship in April, but you can lose it. I still believe wholeheartedly the Dodgers win the division that go to the postseason, all the things. But these are the games that you're supposed to win. The Marlins don't have a bunch of superstars. They play the game a little bit differently. They have to.
Starting point is 00:16:59 They don't have the sluggers that the Dodgers have. But give them credit where credit is due. They took the series. But again, it wasn't because they were just, it wasn't like a laffer. It wasn't 10 to 1 Marlins. It's like just because the Dodgers offense is so anemic right now. I would think that the Marlins office offense is typically more anemic. That's more status quo for them than it is for the Dodgers.
Starting point is 00:17:21 but the, you know, daughters got to get it going. I don't like losing, you know, series to the Rockies, series to the Giants, series to the Marlins, serious to anybody, but especially those types of teams right now. You know, one kid, having himself a hell of a series, had himself a hell of a series, having himself a hell of a year. Otto Lopez. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Oh, I thought you were going to else. Oh, well, I don't know who else you got, you got, but Otto Lopez hitting over 300, 320 on the season right now. And, you know, he was hitting around. hitting these Dodgers around for the greater part of this series. Listen, you always trust Clayton McCullough to have his team give its best. And now that he's the skipper over there in Miami, you know, a couple of years removed from being the first-paced coach here in L.A., you saw the love, the respect that Dodgers
Starting point is 00:18:08 still have for him. For sure. Good on him. But, you know, F the Marlins. Oh, brother. We got more in the super chat land. We got Francisco in the chat, nine. a couple of times from Francisco.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Was this the offense I was promised after the Kyle Tucker signing? They are awful in situational hitting. Absolutely embarrassing. And, you know, well, let's continue with him. He says, sorry for being a negative Nancy, but to split a series against the Rockies, lose two against the Giants and the Marlins, Dodgers outclass the last 13 days. I mean, I would say that they were outclassed, guys. I would say they were outplayed.
Starting point is 00:18:48 They were outplayed. And he's not wrong. Like this is, these are the teams I'm talking about. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You split a series. It was a four game set, right? It was that stupid wraparound series, which I can't stand. You split that series, then you lose, you know, to the giants and to the to the Marlins.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Like those are the teams you're supposed to be. If, let's say if the Atlanta Braves came into town, if the guys, if the teams that were hot right now, the twins or whoever's hot at the moment, okay, the Yankees, the Braves, who was ever playing really well right now, if they came into town and, you know, they handed it to them, then that's one thing. but these are teams that the Dodgers should be better then. And they haven't been. So again, it's early. It's not even May yet, but things will need to change around, turn around because that's a little too close for comfort for me. I start looking at scoreboard watching the first day of the season.
Starting point is 00:19:39 To have a little play on words with my buddy, Jeff Snyder, it's just one month. And you take out watching these games, particularly these last two weeks, they still went 20 and 11. That's pretty good. They're still on the case to win over 100 games. A thousand percent correct. But we have such ridiculous expectations because of what this team has given us the last 10 years.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And, you know, with great expectation or who much is given, too much is expected. And we have a lot of expectations for this club. And speaking of, it's just a month. You and I and Katie are going to wrap up April tomorrow on our show to discuss, you know, the biggest disappointment, the biggest surprise, who was the best position player, who was the best pitcher of the month, those types of things. So please tune in tomorrow at 12 Pacific 3 Eastern on Dodgers territory as well. So we can talk about that. And Katie, of course, will weigh in. How about this? Let's take another quick break.

Starting point is 00:22:24 So find out. Click that joint button here. The other has hated me for many, many, many moons, many, many moons, many, many moons. What's the time about the bullpen? What did you think about their effort today? I want to give a shout out also for a second. Our friend Robert over at Blue Diamond Dynasties in the chat. Appreciate Robert.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Oh, what's going on? How are you doing, buddy? I'm sure he's doing less good because the Dodgers lost a series of the Marlins. But yeah, you mentioned something. You've got to have something. positive out of this series and my positive is going to be that bullpen even though you know will Klein did give up the game winning run he was overall solid in his two innings but how about my dog Kyle hurt I got a text from one Catherine Wu during the game
Starting point is 00:23:06 saying okay Kyle hurt I see you and yeah that's what I'm in is she in trouble is that why you called her Catherine is like that's her professional name well that's when I email her it says Catherine Wu. Are you all right with Klein pitching two innings? Yeah, I mean, we're at that point, you know, give the bullpen a little bit of a blow. You don't want a trinan going back out there coming off of a clean, we'll say a scoreless outing last night. And, you know, pitching day game after a night game.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I think Will Klein did his job to pick up the slack for what's his name, not going to complete six there for Glasnau not pitched getting through six innings but yeah just a little bit of love it's just a lot of negative a lot of negativity in the show as there should be with the Dodgers offense of late but
Starting point is 00:24:02 much love for I guess in particular Vest got his job done nobody else scored on on Glass now but Kyle hurt that's my guy that's my guy right I mean honestly you give up two runs your Glasnae it's like this is a decent out of I mean my God they scored three runs
Starting point is 00:24:18 I'm blah for man. Hey, we did talk about Mookie. There was some Mookie. We're some Mookie bets updates today. We'll have more tomorrow as Katie is with us because she's a lot more in the know than we would be. But if you were worried or wondering about why you guys haven't seen Mookie a whole lot, it's because he took a little bit of a step back. He did take BP last week, said he felt something in the oblique the next morning. So they shut him down a little bit, starting to ramp up again. He feels like he's close. Of course, there is the, the, the, the initial prognosis or timeline was four to six weeks. He says it's it's he still expects it to be below that. But, uh, even with, you know, hit him hitting a buck 79 in a couple of games this
Starting point is 00:25:00 year, um, we would, we would love to have that guy back in the line. I don't know about you. I would too. Of course. Of course I'd rather have mookie bets back in the lineup. No question about it. I just, you know, it resets everything. That's what you want. You push that reset button and puts everybody where they're supposed to. And I, I like him on defense. I like what brings to the lineup. Of course I want moogie bets back in there. Good day for an off day tomorrow. I mean, is this a thing. Well, the thing is it stinks about this too is that you're traveling. That's the thing that people don't understand. Like, I remember having an off. It's not an off day, unless you're at home, right? But they're traveling. I think with this game, it almost is an off day.
Starting point is 00:25:37 You're done with work at three o'clock in the afternoon. They get to go home. They're going to spend time with wives and girlfriends or maybe both and families and all this kind of stuff friends they'll be able to go out have some drinks tonight and you know just do something different they're not us they don't like just go home and just drink they're professional athletes i said i said go out and have some drinks and listen let me tell you something i've been watching the clips from that 2016 cubs reunion podcast it's that's a little that's a little that is that's a really good podcast by the It is fucking entertaining. Ross and Rizzo.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Yeah. My favorite is right there. No, I'm just missing. You know you're always number one. That said, jokes aside, it's very entertaining. But they're talking about, you know, they're talking about a fucking fridge in the clubhouse and, you know, drinking after game, celebrating, teaching the young bucks, how to, how to party and also be good at your job and put in the work and all that kind of stuff. that said that's old school yeah that is old school that's that's uh who was it was was it also john luster or no it was there was Beckett with uh chicken and and in Boston chicken and beer chicken and beer
Starting point is 00:26:56 listen if you get the job done I don't give a shit what you do but oh no no I don't that said to to not have to spend a night traveling with the boys having some fun with the family with your friends doing something different and then you get to sleep in tomorrow you get to be in your own sleep in and then get to Dodger Stadium, charter, fly to St. Louis. You're back with the boys. You're ready to play. You're ready to hopefully. Is that how it works in all your years of traveling with the team? Is that what your experience? Listen, I know what I would be doing. That is exactly what I would be doing. All right. And if they have a problem with, hey, hey, let me tell you something. Tell Brandon Goams to call me if he has a problem with it, as long as I'm doing my job.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Right now, they're not there. Thank you for enlighting me on the Dodgers travel schedule. Are you okay with... See, this is why you guys didn't win in 17 and 18. You didn't have mental toughness. This is why we didn't win. We didn't win in 17 because of Houston. We didn't win in 18 because the Dodgers were not the better team. No.
Starting point is 00:27:57 They just weren't. And you can say whatever you want about Alex Kor and the cheating and this, that, and the other thing. Here's another, here's a thought. Oh, we got it started, boys. Be thankful that you, that we, you listeners and viewers of, and all of the things are not dealing with the shit show that is the Red Sox right now.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Just be thankful for that. Yes, are we mad that we lost a series to the Marlins and the Giants? Yes. But we're still in first place, okay? Yeah, okay. And this is a team that's still gonna go out and win 100 ball games and be in the post season
Starting point is 00:28:33 and challenge deep into the post season, if not all the way to and through the World Series. We don't need to worry about having conversations. about firing half the coaching staff or in Philly firing Rob Thompson and him coming out saying, it's not really a great roster you left me with. Dodgers have a great roster. They're going to figure it out. What do you think, Don Mattingly thinks?
Starting point is 00:28:55 All right, well, we asked Alex Corr to come here and he said, no, he's going to go ahead and take his time and spend time with his family because he's getting paid anyway. So, hey, Donnie, will you take the job until the end of the year? I'd be like, I mean, I know that Preston is there and whatever. So it's like the first like general manager, manager, father, son, duo. But I'm just like, if I'm Donnie, I'm like, my God. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I think the only way that works and worked is because it is Preston Mattingly there. And also, my God, Preston Mattingly, being the GM of the Phillies makes me feel very, very old. Old. Yeah. Old. Listen, at least he came from a baseball family and has a baseball clue. at least he wasn't in the video room two years ago and now was on a big league staff somewhere. Anyway, I digress.
Starting point is 00:29:44 But yeah, but we digress on that one. I saw Mr. Classic. Mr. Classic's going to send us out because he says right here, I'll just put it on this screen. At least the Mets are declaring they're horrible. Yeah, Mets are horrible. Phillies are horrible. Dodgers are 20 and 11. Boston's not.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Riz, would you say it's going to be great? It's going to be great. The Dodgers is going to be fine and it's going to be great. And we're back tomorrow, you guys.
