Ready for a different take on Formula One? Look no further than No Grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1, including the story of the woman who last participated in a Formula One race weekend, the recent uptick in F1 romance novels, and plenty of mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd. In 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. But here's the thing. Bachelor fans hated him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here. This case has gone viral.

The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpbright became the victim of a random crime.

The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I mean, he saved the game yesterday for the Dodgers. There's no question about it. He made a diving play in the last inning. He hasn't been fortunate enough to get hits, but defensively, he has earned every bit of playing time. What up, everybody, and welcome to the Thursday edition of Dodgers Territory.

I'm Alana Rizzo. That is my guy, Clint Paseas. Also, thanks to everybody that we've done. watched us last night on playback. We enjoyed doing that as we kind of just talked over the game with Daniel Murphy and of course, Bridger Rowley, Scott Braun joined us as well. Thanks for being here. Make sure you rate us, like us, five stars, all of the things. And by the way, Clint, Eric Caros is coming up on the show momentarily, long-time Dodger first baseman. So we'll talk to EK coming up. Let's get to the big ticket. So they snatched the final game of that finale against the

Washington Nationals. Finish the road trip to and four. Not what you want. want to see, but I guess two and four is better than one and five. What was your biggest takeaway? You know, first road trip of the season, first real road trip of the season, maybe just team a little bit flat, pitching a little bit, struggling with the loss of Blake Snell there. Happy to see them pull one out. A good game. I think that game we watched last night or yesterday afternoon. Very much a needed game. I said it a few times on the playback broadcast. You know, having that happy flight back to L.A. That would have suck to have a one in five flight,

but a two and four, you're feeling a little bit better. Yeah, you mentioned the pitching, and it was problematic. Starting pitching was not great. Justin Rebleski was not good. Landon, that got into trouble, even after being spotted a four-to-nothing lead.

You see the notes there, the numbers there from Fabian Ardaya of the athletic. You know, seven and third innings, 12 hits, 13 earned runs between those two guys. Seven walks, six Ks. You need to see more swing and miss from landed knack. And also, not to mention, Tyler Glasnow wasn't that great either. I mean, five earned runs, obviously, dealing with the weather issues and the mud in his cleats in Philadelphia.

So the starting pitching, not great. And it just goes to show you that as much depth as this team does have, when Blake'snell goes down, it shifts the, you know, the positions a little bit. And these guys got into some trouble. And you and I were talking about it with Sarah, Clint. in our pre-production meeting today about how, yes, we have death, but it's not really until the second half of the season, or at least later on than what we have right now. Yeah, I mean, it's going to take a little bit of time to get some of the big names back.

Of course, Kershaw, eventually seeing at some point in time, Shohei Otani in the lineup or in the rotation, Emmett Sheehan is one of those guys. I think the injury to the late spring injury to Tony Gonson kind of affected things for this team as well. But, you know, they needed more. They needed more out of Reblesky in that start and that spot start. Definitely needed more out of landed NAC.

I have higher expectations for NAC than Reblisky, but just didn't have it. He had zero command of the fastball. He's done enough for this team in the past to at least earn himself a second start. Of course, most likely we won't see Reblesky. He was optioned after that rough, getting roughed up, eight runs over five innings. So unless there's another injury, something like that. like that. We won't see Rebleski back. And there's a chance. You know, with the way things are lining up, I mentioned Tony Gonselin. He's, he is on the mend. He's pitching at AAA, and he's

actually done pretty dang well in his two starts, giving up a run over five total innings over those two starts. The hope was that maybe they could build them up to about, you know, four or five innings, but there's a chance. There's a chance that we could see the Catman coming back for this team next week. Again, looking really good. And this is something. somebody that I've been very high on over the years. I love the Catman, and I think he brings another angle of stability to this team and to the rotation right now without Blake's Nell. And, you know, he needs some bouncebacks. You got, what's his name, Yamamoto, Sasaki going once a week.

And there's kind of the limitations there, the struggles with when one guy goes down, it throws off the whole rhythm of the rotation. Yeah, that's some of those restrictions that we talked about. when you have guys that go every six day, basically to your point, once a week, you know, and one of your starters goes down, then you're going to have to pivot to other guys that perhaps wouldn't be in a starting rotation at the big league level, you know, if it weren't for those injuries. We know Justin Rebleski is not going to get a start against the Rockies, barring injury. He has to stay in the minor leagues for 15 days after being option, but we will see Land and Nack. And I know that you're big on Nack. You like him better in terms of stuff than Robleski.

But Clint, he's going to have to have more swing and miss stuff in this outing against the Rockies, which is a possibility, certainly, with that team. But, you know, he's got to look better than he did yesterday if he wants to be a considered to be a legitimate starting rotation guy for this club. Yeah, I mean, he's somebody that he's going to pick up some spot starts. He's going to probably start 10 to 15 games for this team over the season. Maybe 15 is kind of a lot. But he just needs to be a little more ready to answer the bell when that bell is wrong for the team.

He didn't have it yesterday. He said, you know, after the game, just really didn't have command of anything. We had some good spurts, bad spurts in there throughout that start. But you got to be able to protect the four-run lead, especially knowing that every time you get an opportunity to pitch for, you know, this team in front of Dave Roberts and company, you really got to show up and show out because there's just so much talent on this roster. But, again, all things considered, two and four in a road trip feels a lot better than one to do. five for sure and home cooking coming for the boys i'm sure they are very very happy to be back home in l a get an off day in l a that's got to make you feel good as well yeah we'll talk to eric caros about that too coming up just how good it is to not only have the happy flight as you mentioned but just

to get back home and kind of write the ship um before we get to eric caros we're going to talk to him in just a second after a quick word from a j prasinski and scott brawn on pxg hey j it is time for people to get some new clubs and to do that they need to go to their local pxg for a fitting right no doubt i was there today i've been there before last time i was there they gave me this killer gap wedge look at that sweet spot scott it is worn out that is right in the sweet spot right there so i went and got new clubs today new irons but more importantly i got this bad boy i got me a new putter this is my old putter it's on order yes that's my putter cover pxg Mustang putter now i'm going to the allen putter they talked me into it because i was draining some putts today bob the guy who helped me

I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final Rose rejected.

The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scan. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you.

Please search more. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of He Said She Said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's a really good deal. Real, 20% off, PXG. You loved golf.

You're a golf guy. I'm a good time golf boy. You need some, you need some PXG clubs. Let's get on that. Yeah, what the hell? Send me some clubs. I need some new irons. My irons are, I have some old Strickson irons that are a little worn out.

And this is where we're at, you know? We have to be begging for free things here on the internet. That's what makes it fun. But what makes this more fun is that we do have Dodger legend. Of course, Dodger Broadcaster, the man, the myth of legend. Eric Carroll's joining us. here today on Dodgers territory coming back from a long felt like a very long road trip how you doing okay yeah i'm doing well thanks for having me guys and yes happy to happy to be back to my own bed

yeah no doubt about that you know we make a lot about that we say it all the time eK great to have you on the show that you know there's something to be said about sleeping in your own bed that happy flight but just getting back to normal with the normal routine and this club needed it a two and four record is not what i had on my bingo card um what did you you notice in the two series, first against the Phillies, of course, and then obviously this last one against the Nats. What was your biggest takeaway? I mean, if you want to get on the baseball standpoint, it's like, look, they didn't hit with runners in scoring position, the starting pitching wasn't great, defense wasn't up to par. So if you want to go on the baseball side and say, okay, well,

that's what happened. I take it, you know, a step further, I'd say, look, if the weather wasn't great, There were a lot of festivities going on, especially when we got to Washington. Basically, this season really hasn't started for the Dodgers. And what I mean by that, Tokyo. Then you come back here, you're off for a week and a half, two weeks, and then you've got all the festivities of opening day. And then you've got the ring ceremony. And you've got the Shoah, Otani Bobblehead, all these sort of things going on. So then you go right on the road.

And again, you go into Philly, it's a big series. weather was not great. You go to the White House and have those ceremonies in the Capitol when you're in Washington. And now you get back home. And now I think for the Dodge, the season begins tomorrow. You know, one of the things I wanted to ask you, I mean, obviously, I think we don't consider that all of the pomp and circumstance of the start of the season. A lot of things going on for this team.

And finally getting the boys together. that first road trip of the season, like Alana said. It's not exactly what you want. At least you get the win on getaway day. You feel better about that happy flight home. When you're going through this, let's touch on the experience of EK, long time, big leaguer, long time Dodger. Hey, when you're out there struggling on the road,

how much is that help? Just knowing that you're going back home. You got 50,000 strong coming at you at Dodger Stadium coming back. And you can kind of start to really settle. into the season moving forward. Well, it's like you're saying, you get to settle into the season. Also, coming back to the West Coast, it really makes you appreciate, you know, playing out here, you know, whether you're in San Diego, whether you're Los Angeles, you know, Sacramento,

wherever, San Francisco, all those places. Weather-wise, that is a big advantage. So you get to come back. And again, it's a blip, right? Obviously, there were some things that you would like to do better. you'd like to clean it up from a baseball standpoint. You know, but again, it's, it's, you know, four or five games, a stretch you're playing without Freddie Freeman.

You've had two games this year where you've had Mookie and Freddie in the lineup. Granted, Kikey Hernandez has been unreal defensively over at first base. Offensively, you know, if it's not a home run, then it doesn't count for Kiki because that's all he's done this year. But again, there's so many things that, you know, it's just, it's a, games on the schedule. And I know people probably don't want to hear that. Oh, my goodness, the Dodgers and oh, you don't care about these games and everything matters and this and that. And it's, you know, the reality is you had a road trip. You went two and four. Great. Come back home and get going. E.K., do you think that Andy Pahas has bought more time? I mean, he don't,

the Dodgers don't win that game yesterday without his two home runs. You know, do you think that he's starting to get going offensively? Because the routes have been problematic defensively. but you can deal with it if he's producing at the plate. Has he extended his time at the big league level? I mean, obviously, you know, two home runs, you know, aren't going to hurt at all, right? He's going to have to make some adjustments hitting at the bottom part of that lineup. You know, you think, okay, this is a place where you can hide somebody, but you can't. You've got to look at it as what it is, and that's, I'm hitting in front of Shohei Otani.

And so, you know, Andy, again, he's had some at-bats that look good, then he's had some at-bats. that you just say, you know, what's going on? And for a young player, it's difficult enough to make yourself an everyday player in the big leagues. But you add that to the pressure of playing in L.A., playing for a team that's going to compete for a world championship, knowing that you don't have a three-month window to just go. And, you know, you're being looked upon, you know, every single game. You know, you're being scrutinized. I mean, fortunately for Andy Wright's now that there he's going he's earned himself an opportunity there's no question about it but again at the end of the day you're going to have to produce and you know the dodgers don't have a lot of options

right now James outman isn't playing great in down in Oklahoma City and so he's going to get a run for a while but there have been some things that you know you go okay you got to clean that up whether it's the base running the defense but again if you're swinging the bat you're going to give yourself some more AVs for sure. Yeah, I mean, that's another part of some of the problems here. You mentioned this team missing Freddie Freeman, and it kind of sets the lineup a little bit behind, especially towards the bottom part of the order,

where production has been hard to find, whether it be Pahas hitting in that eight or nine spot, but struggles there for the bottom part of the lineup. How much does Freddie Freeman returning just kind of help everybody get back into their slots and where they belong? Well, obviously it elongates things. It presents another issue for the opposing team. But you hit it right on the head.

The bottom of the lineup is going to have to contribute. Whether you're talking about, you know, Max Muncie, who's a guy, you know, a Dodger that has hit over 35 home runs, I believe four times. He's going to be more productive. Right now, he's in a rut right now and not swinging the bat like he's capable. You know, you hope that that Pott has. has gets going. Kike, you know, hitting at the bottom of that lineup is, you know, if you need a

home run, yeah, he's your guy. But he's just hitting some bad luck and just hasn't been able to get going. So there are other things that, you know, once this lineup is kicking on all cylinders, you're going to be fine. Obviously bringing Freddie back, of course, you know, it's going to help things. I would just say this. Like, would I, the Dodgers are the Dodgers and they're going to be fine and I would bet on them a hundred out of a hundred time and they are going to be stretches throughout the year where you just say wow that's that's not ideal or that's not crisp but you have to remember you look in the win column and there is not a team in the big leagues that has more wins than the Los Angeles Dodgers that's true we have to keep things in perspective we think if

they don't go 162 and oh something's really wrong you had alluded to the way that Kike Hernandez is playing defense EK and he's been tremendous I mean this is a guy that's played every position with the exception of catcher. How good has he been at first base? I mean, you know that position better than anybody else. What do you like about it? It's not like Kike goes out there and works at first base. He's just naturally gifted to do so. Well, I will say, and I went up and told him at the cage the other day, I went up and I just said, you know, you've been absolutely elite over there defensively. And, you know, he made a comment. And he said in 2019, he was playing first base.

And a ball was hit to him. And he went to feed the pitcher. And he just, instead of moving and taking momentum towards first base, he just threw the ball, flat-footed, errant throw. And he told himself, he says, never again, meaning that he was going to be prepared. He was going to learn the nuances of the position. And whether you're playing second base, shortstop, first base,

athletically, you could probably go over and fill those positions for a day or two days or three days and you're not going to be exposed. But the more plays you get over at whatever respective position, there are little quote-unquote tricks of the trade. And Kiki has done, like I said, the footwork has been crazy, moving his feet, the ability to take throws over there when they're not quite online, the ability to pick the ball, knowing what to do, knowing where to be. And again, you know, people probably don't get all excited about that. But outside of, you know, catcher in the pitcher, first baseman usually is touching the ball the most of any other position out there.

And like I said, he has been, I mean, he saved the game yesterday for the Dodgers. There's no question about it. Made a diving play in the last inning, you know, got the runner at second base. And like I said, he hasn't been. He hasn't been fortunate enough to get hits, been hitting the home runs. But defensively, he has earned every bit of playing time. Yeah, defensively, he's been tremendous as we have become accustomed to. Let me ask you this, though, E.K., you played in a different era,

but you did play in the big leagues for 14 seasons. Did you ever think in your time you would see a $500 million contract for a first baseman? Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., obviously, inking that with a $325 million signing bonus. I mean, the money is insane right now. The $325 is what surprised me. The $325 million signing bonus. When I saw that, I said, wow, that's interesting. So I will always say this.

And so people will say, oh, $500 million, that's crazy, you know, whatever Soto got, and, you know, Showing gets or whatever. In all those cases, the ownership side thinks they're getting a deal. Correct. So I don't like when I when it's crazy money, I don't I don't go into that. The crazy money because I don't think it's crazy money. I don't think it's on the surface. The number looks large.

But again, these are very smart people on ownership side. They've made a lot of money usually in a lot of other endeavors. And they think they're getting a deal. So, you know, and again, too, I will also say that those are the except you see those sorts of deals. And, you know, the reality is, you know, majority of guys are. playing one, two, three years, making, you know, not a ton of money, and then they're off to the real world. And do you feel sorry for them? No, of course not. And, you know, everybody got to chase their dream and getting to do something that they love. But when you're talking about like money like

this, it's completely the exception. And I will again say to no end, the owner thinks he got a deal. That's enough said right there. Yep. Amen. You know, a couple of kids chasing the dream right now. You might be their father. They tell us here. We got Kyle and, of course, Jared in the Dodgers organization. What can you tell us about the growth of the Caros boys and how much closer we're getting to see.

And Jared potentially make an impact for this ball club? So both of them are climbing the ladder. And again, you have to be good, but you also have to be in the right place at the right time. You have to have some breaks. Jared couldn't be in a better organization as far as development is concerned and allowing him to be the best version of himself. You know, we saw, you know, Land and Nack start Robleski the other day as well. And I think you're going to see that throughout the season. The Dodgers going into their farm system to use some spot starters guys to give the, you know, the starting staff, the big league level, a breather here and there.

So he goes out and he throws like he has. I think he'll have an opportunity to debut at some point this year. The other one, Kyle, he's in the Rockies organization. And he's in AA. He's playing extremely well. I mean, it's early on. I had a great year last year. And that organization has, there's a lot more opportunity in that organization, to say

the least. You know, the Dodgers, like I said, you know, it's great to develop in that organization to get an opportunity there. You know, it's a lot different situation than the Rockies. But both of the boys, they couldn't be in a better organization for their needs. I'll leave you here with a kind of open-ender question for this team. You're coming back home, like you said, we're starting to get to a point where it's a real baseball season moving forward.

What do you need to see from these boys, from this 26th man roster plus? on this homestand and then moving forward, you know, up through the All-Star break. What are you looking at? What are you watching with this team and so forth? So I think more than anything, you're just looking for health and continued development. You know, you obviously want to see, you know, production from some guys that you expect it from. But like, look, I'm, I'm the wrong guy to ask about the Dodgers. And is there, you know, what do I need to see an urgency and this and that? because again, it is like, look, you're not going to get worked up over a week, over two weeks,

over three weeks, any of that, because I will, you know, this club has been assembled. It's been put together with a lot of thought. I will take this team a hundred out of a hundred times at the end of the year. And, you know, they can go over this homestand. And you know what? I'm not budging at all. 14 year big leager 1992 rookie of the year long time dodger first baseman legend eric carros we appreciate you taking the time i know it was a long road trip for you as well thanks for taking a few

All right, welcome to Last Lix, everybody. This is where we get to show you a pup that is in need of a forever home. Let me introduce you to Brooklyn.

You might remember that Brooklyn and her brother, Dodger, were found abandoned outside in Phoenix, Arizona, basically Glendale, outside of Camelback Ranch, where the Dodger's spring train. And we are happy to report that Dodger has been adopted, but his sister Brooklyn, is still looking for her forever home. She's a two and a half month old mixed breed. She's getting her second round of shots on the 15th. So in about five days. She will be required to be spayed when she's old enough to do so. And my foundation, Gidri's guardian, will cover the spay.

She's awesome. She's sweet. She's great with other dogs. She'd ideally be good Clint in a home with another older pup that can kind of show her the ropes because she's a puppy. She doesn't know what to do, right? She's a baby. So if you are interested in learning,

more about Brooklyn. Hit me up on social, giddreasegarden.org for more info as well. All right, baseball thought for the road. What do you got? I like this. And I know you talked about it earlier today with our pal Ken Rosenthal. He was your dude of the week. But we got to talk about Ken Lee Janssen, 450 career saves. Of course, the majority of those with the Los Angeles Dodgers spent 12 seasons with the ball club. And it's great to see him, one, almost back home. Sure, he's in Orange County, but he's he's producing. It looks like he's having fun with the angels who maybe, maybe are slightly better than teams we've seen in the past. But huge congrats to another Dodger legend there, Kenley Jansen.

And I wanted to ask you, obviously, you spent a lot of time around Kenley throughout his career, throughout your career as well. You got like a KJ74 story that stands out that you can share about with us? I mean, Kenley obviously is one of my favorite people. He's very easy to root for. And congratulations, Kenley. I'm very proud of you. 450 saves in the big leagues is nothing to be shy about. And again, you know, he posts every time.

And I appreciate him very much. And not to mention Kenley just lost his mom a couple of weeks ago. So I know that his heart has been heavy. And there's always that conversation as to whether or not Kenley is a Hall of Famer, you know. And the numbers continue to pile up. And the numbers continue to add up. And AJ and Eric and Scott were talking about this too on Fowl Territory. But he's definitely a Hall of Fame.

person. I don't know if he's a Hall of Famer, but he's definitely a Hall of Fame person. And the thing about Kenley that I'll always remember is he had such a special relationship with Don Newcomb. And when Don, the late great Don Newcomb was alive, he would always be, first of all, he's always the best dressed person at the ballpark. And man was in a three-piece suit every day. And he would sit down there. Yeah, he would sit down there in the owner's seats during BP when the Dodgers would take BP. And he would just have really long conversations with Kenley and with Matt Kemp and with Andre Etheir. And he really took a liking to Kenley. And one thing, Don demanded that Kenley start to do was start to run.

And it was because of Don Newcomb that Kenley started implementing a running regimen in his routine. And he started running a ton of time. And he was always like running the warning track at Dodger Stadium or wherever we were, whether the team was on the road. And I just know that he has such a profound, Mr. Newcomb had such a profound impact on Kenley. And again, remember, Kenley had to go through AFIB and try to pitch through that. And, you know, especially in Colorado with the altitude.

and all of that there. So to see what Kenley has gone through. Remember, he was a catcher, right? So to be a, to be on the all-time saves list is pretty important and pretty special considering, you know, he came up as a catcher and he caught Clayton Kershaw's first outing. So, um, that's crazy. He, you know, just, it's incredible.

And I'm proud of him. And I just think he's a special person. Hey, a huge shout out to our friend, Ned Coletti as well. He's the guy who told him, you know, maybe, maybe catching isn't, maybe hitting. Isn't your prowess, buddy. Why won't we get you off the mound? Of course, Kenley was not a fan of the idea of being a pitcher, but I would say it worked out pretty dang well.

I think there's a conversation for sure for the Hall of Fame. He's one of eight closers, eight pitchers to reach that milestone. If people are getting voted in on that, we've got Billy Wagner now finally in the Hall of Fame. Maybe Kenley is going to be one of those guys as well, because he just continues to get it done, and he wants to keep on pitching. And, you know, much love, much love to.

to the big man out of Curisaw. Yeah, number 74, the reason he wears number 74, if you don't know that story is because that was his parents' house number there in Curisau. They lived at, you know, 74 or whatever, Clint Paseous Lane or whatever the address was. But congratulations. Congratulations, Kenley. We are very proud of you.
