Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to a live episode of Dodgers Territory.

We are your host that is Clint Pistias. I am Alana Rizzo. This is the first Dodgers territory of what we can consider to be, I guess, the postseason push, Clint, because the regular season ended. yesterday, minus the fact that there's a double header going on right now between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets. But the Dodgers are in and they did everything they were supposed to do up until this point, my friend. Let's get to the big ticket. Let's do it. Clint, you always like to spend thing positive. I appreciate that about you. So let's do that. The Dodgers did every single thing that we had asked them to do coming into the season despite an unbelievable amount of injuries to key

players. They had the best record in baseball. They are going to play the winner of the four or five seed and they have home field throughout the world series if in fact the Dodgers do get that far. I'd say job done. Job very well done. All things considered constant issues with injuries. I said it a million times a season. Our pets heads keep falling off yet the Dodgers finish with the best record in baseball. Give some flowers.

Dave Roberts. I said this earlier. Joining my friends over at ESPN LA. Give the man some flowers for navigating an incredibly. difficult season. The Dodgers are not at all in a spot they expected to be in terms of health and who's on the roster, who's going to be available, who's fully healthy, even, and will be playing in the postseason. But still, they worked with what they had. Yeah, they have a lot of pieces, but they worked with what they have, 198 games. And now we sit around for, I would say, the most

important five days off they've had in this kind of stretch of, oh, man, is it good to have the rest versus Russ, have these days off? Really, really, really. good spot, but I want to know your thoughts. Dave Roberts, is this a, what do they call that, manager of the year performance for Doc? To me, yes, because I think he's had to go through more adversity, easy for me to say with this season than he's had, I think, in any other season in terms of injuries to massive, massive people in that lineup. Not only do you have so many guys on the shelf as far as starting this season is concerned Clayton Kershaw being one of those, Walker Bueller, obviously Dustin May with the esophagus issue, Tony Gonsolin is down.

You know, you have all of these injuries, Yamamoto for an extended period of time. Now we have Tyler Glasnow out for the remainder of the season. He's had to do a hell of a job. And a lot of guys have had to step up that probably wouldn't be at the big league level, Clint had it not been for the injuries and having them get the call up out of necessity. I mean, we've had a lot of guys. It always takes more than 26. It takes more than the 40 men sometimes.

And they've done what they needed to do. And again, is this exactly like we would have written it up? Absolutely not. But I actually texted both Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman after they, you know, clinched home field throughout the postseason. And I said, proud of you guys, let me know if you need me to start. And Dave laughed and it took them a couple days to get back to me. They were probably mother effing me at that point when I thought I was being funny. But Andrew gave me a heart emoji. And Dave rode back and said the boys are ready to go into a deep

run. So this is a team that is confident. They're excited about where they are. They did everything. It's so funny how we're always like, oh, my God, what's happening? And the Dodgers literally finished the best record in baseball. They have home field. I mean, what else do we want? We're just used to it, I guess. But yes, Dave Roberts, manager of the year candidate. What do you guys think out there? Clint's going to be checking stuff in the chat. Please load up the questions, load up your comments in the chat. Don't forget to like us and subscribe to Dodgers territory. Thanks for tubing in on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast. Let's talk about Shohei Otani for a hot second. The Triple Crown was not to be for him this year, but my word, he basically checked off

every other box. Special, special season for the unicorn, as they call him. Show Hey, Otani. not pitching this year and he did everything with the legs with the bat that this team needed and more and somehow getting better as the season wore on in this final month put up phenomenal stuff but you finish the season 54 bombs 130 rbi scored a billion runs uh still hit 310 just misses out on that triple crown i'm fine he didn't get it he put he pushed hard at the end of the season to get that, but just misses 200 hits as well. You could not have asked for more out of Shohei Otani in his first season in Dodger Blue at all. Agreed with you. I love how he was trying to get Austin Barnes to steal a bag when there was a pitching change. He's like, I've only

stolen about 117 bases. Why can't you steal one, Barnsie? Let's go. All right, let's speak to the bottom of the order. There have been times, Clint, in this season over the course of 162, that the bottom of the order was a question mark, that they weren't getting the production that they needed. They have interchanged pieces. It's been kind of a big, big, that puzzle, but it seems like the bottom of the order is picking up in terms of production a little bit. That's a good thing to see. Kike's getting into postseason form. He had the three run home around Saturday. CT3 swinging the stick well, my friend. And as far as Bill Plunkett brought this up, Dave Vassay had said it earlier in the day, but Bill Plunkett reminding us that Chris Taylor with that opposite

field solo shot to tie the game one-one, he's at 303 since the All-Star break. That's a pretty good clip. I realize he doesn't have as many appbats as he used to, but the appbats that he's gotten, he's taking advantage of. Credit to Chris Taylor for taking advantage of, you know, when he does get in the lineup, he's producing. He's, you know, the Dodgers are also protecting him as best they can, playing him in the proper matchups, best matchups possible.

But like Vasay told us last week when he was on the show, if you guys didn't see it, check it out. I think that episode still holds up from last Monday. The Dodgers were going to have Chris Taylor on this, either way. The fact that he's at least hitting, he's producing, he's doing a little bit of something. That goes a long way for this team as well. But he's on that roster. I think at this point, your boy, Andy Paix has another one of those guys who's kind of been a bottom of the lineup guy who's producing is him. You know, Lux has had his kind of ups and downs over the last month. Lux's

hitting very, very well. Miguel Rojas also when he's not injured is doing some good things at the bottom of the lineup. But Andy Paix, he's a real power threat towards the lower half of the lineup, as is Kike Hernandez. And I think I've kind of, it's been an up and down season for Mr. Andy Paez, but this is a kid that absolutely needs to be on the postseason roster because he can make a difference off the bench, can make a difference against left-handed pitchers when he is in the lineup or coming off the bench or whatever it is. 313 over his last 12 games, 9-96 OPS, and he brings the thunder with that bat. maybe Kevin Kiermeier might not be around with that finger issue. So I think things kind of

figured themselves out on the position player's side. I feel better. I'm not going to you feel the same. I feel better about the offense in the lineup right now than I have for a good little chunk of time. How do you feel about what we're like? As long as Freddie Freeman's foot's okay. And as long as Miguel Rojas can heal that groin or whatever the heck is ailing him right now, then I feel a little bit better. Usually on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable

sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Sphinctor, peristolsus, duodenum. It's fascinating. It's funny and it matters so much more than you think. Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network.

Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You said that Andy Pahas was my guy, not the case. I don't know enough about him in terms of what are you going to do in this situation, but you did say something that I do agree with. You said that we have a better picture, perhaps, of what this postseason roster is going to shape up and look like. And I think you're absolutely right. I think the fact that Kevin Kiermeier has that injury, that's probably going to be enough

to keep him off of the postseason roster, at least for the DS. Of course, if there's an injury during the DS, things can change. You can put a guy back on and you can reset completely. if they make it to the CS and then of course to the World Series. So in your opinion right now, as it sits, who I don't want to make you go through, you know, all 13 pitchers and 12 position or, you know, 13 position players or whatever. But who do you think makes it and who's on the outside looking in?

In terms of position players, we'll talk more pitching in the second segment of the show. In terms of position players, you know the 1 through 9 that are going to be in there. And benchwise, Barnes is going to be there because he's, just it's awesome barns he's like a i don't know he's like a rat that doesn't want to die but he's also had a very very good season despite playing through two you know what is it foot injuries two broken bones in his foot uh you got barns in there you're going to have andy paes you're going to have um chris taylor you're going to have keke hernandez and honestly it's a pretty

solid bench it's a solid one through nine and uh you just got to put up points boys having haven't show hey otani at the top of the lineup as a game changer that this team did not have over the last two post seasons. I think that takes a lot of the pressure off of Mooki, a lot of the pressure off of Freddie, knowing, I mean, they have two years, two post seasons of demons they're trying to exercise this particular October. So to have guys like Shohei, Te Oscar Hernandez, who were not there this year or last year, the year before that, I think that goes a long way in alleviating some of the pressure. So you got a good, you got a good bench. You just need something out of your starting pitching.

And you're going to help you do that. How dare you say that Austin Barnes is like a rat that doesn't want to die? How dare you? By the way, when I went to Post Malone the other day at Fenway, Post Malone performed celebration. And I recorded it and I sent it to Austin Barnes and Nicole Barnes because every time I hear celebration, I think of Austin Barnes. I was his walk-up song for a long time. He's also a guy that for whatever reason, he may always be the backup in the regular season. And then he ends up being the man in the postseason and ends up catching most of the games. I realize it's probably not that way anymore with Will Smith, of course, but remember when Yasmani Grandal was there and he caught most, I mean, how many passed balls did Yasmani Grandal have in the postseason? We called them. Has many pass ball. I mean, honest to goodness. But the point is Austin Barnes is a key cog to this team and one of the longest tenure Dodgers on this team. All right. Let's talk about what you were saying earlier as we get ready to set this starting pitching rotation. How about behind the seams? All right. Let's do it. So Dave Robert.

Roberts, Clint Paseas, has said that he has chosen, I guess, the four guys that are going to, I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize who's going to be the starters for the Dodgers in the postseason, considering we don't have, you know, that many guys to choose from. Now, the order is not set, but earlier today on our production meeting, you feel very confident that you know the order. What is it? Jack Flaherty will be your game one starter. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be starting game two. Walker Bueller should be getting game three, and I think we've seen enough out of him in a big spot there in that, that, what is it, NLS clinching start. Walker's got still, he still got something in the tank, and then Landonac will round out your rotation.

Dave said that wasn't necessarily the order that he mentioned, but it's going to be the order that these one through four go. feel better. I feel a lot better than I did last year with again. We talked about it last week. Clayton Kirshah had a shoulder falling off. Lance Lynn for some reason existing. Bobby Miller, the head case. Those were your guys. That's all you had. Now you got four dudes that could at least get you six or seven innings if all goes well, but guaranteed four, guaranteed five. And there's enough in this bullpen. You just need to not blow up or implode in the first inning like we saw last year. Are you encouraged by what you saw from Yamamoto his last time out?

I mean, you can't not be. It still wasn't his best start. I think you kind of have to be, to be honest, unless you love living in a world of doom and gloom and dread and pain. He goes through five, allows two earned. He didn't have his best stuff, which happens in Colorado. You knew that splitter wasn't going to quite be there in Colorado. But he gave the team what it needed. and he gave himself, I feel, you know, I guess a little bit of, what am I looking for here?

He should feel confident in himself knowing that, look, look, this is, I'm back. I'm fully back from this shoulder thing, and I'm ready to help this team win some ball games in October. Is it, did we see, you know, that Yankees start out of Yama? No. Will we see that? Maybe somewhere down the road. But the fact that he's healthy, he's getting through five innings, he's throwing 90 pitches, I think that's that's about all you can ask for in this situation.

All right, guys, do you agree with Clint starters as far as the order is concerned? Let us know how you're feeling about the postseason going into it with where the Dodgers are. Let us know if that's the four that you would have chosen. And honestly, if that's the order in which you would have gone. And does it matter who we play first in the first round? Does that change your order a little bit based on the lineup and the rosters of the other guys? Clint, when you look at Shohei Otani, and again, we're talking pitching now, not hitting, which it's fun to be able to talk about a guy on those sides of the ball like that.

But again, the throw in progress is continuing. He has not decided whether or not they're going to allow him to face hitters yet, Warren Torribio saying, Shohei Otani will continue his rehab process on the pitching side, but said he still hasn't made a decision on whether he'll face hitters or not. I don't know how much of that decision is Shoes. I don't know how much of that decision is the training staff or the front office. But I think we have a difference in opinion on this. your take? I've been loud and proud, louder and prouder about this over the last week or two.

Just keep him throwing, if not for anything else. You keep him throwing because he's playing very, very well. He's hitting well. He's running. He's doing everything well on the offensive side of the ball while he has that, I think, you know, the other side kind of the distraction of pitching and building up and feeling good with where his arm, where his elbow is at. So, So it doesn't hurt to keep his arm at least, you know, loosening up, kind of keep that small buildup, I'll call it, through the postseason or however long this run goes. And if you just so happen to make it to the World Series and it makes sense, it doesn't cost you a roster spot to have him throw an inning or two in the World Series.

And I understand we are very much counting a lot of chickens before they hatch here. Does not hurt to just let him keep doing his thing. If he wants to potentially pitch and he feels like he, he can and medically he's cleared and his and his teammates while he's facing them at some point live BP say hey man that shit's nasty it's a secret weapon that's all i'm looking at it is it the smartest thing no but this is an organization that desperately needs a win a world series a lot of we're still getting uh notifications on that that uh instagram real posted like like five months ago about that 60 game world series enough is enough about the 2020 season we need to shut up some

other fans. And if that means show hey, being available to throw 20 pitches isn't going to kill the man's arm. That's where I'm at. I know you feel very different about it. I do feel differently about it. And yes, that thing has gone viral a billion times. I think we have five billion views on it. So again, you take a look at Dodgers territory on Instagram and we've posted it on both of our feeds. But yeah, people are still talking about the quote unquote asterisk. And my whole point was everybody played 60 games. But I understand what you're saying. It would be nice to win one in a full season where there wasn't COVID and a strike year and all of the things. But my thing is this, continue the process of the rehab, okay? Continue that, continue to progress, continue to do that,

build up your arm. You know, I just don't see how what the value is of the intrinsic risk of, let's say Shohei Otani comes out and pitches two innings and you don't win the World Series. And then something, some weird setback happens to him. And I guess it could happen at any point, but I just don't think you waste future Otani on both sides of the ball and future success and future World Series champions based on just two, you know, two winnings for this year. I mean, if the Dodgers, if it comes down to flip and showy, Otani having to pitch for the Dodgers to win the World Series and they probably shouldn't have won the World Series to begin with, you know what I mean?

Like, I mean, let's just use his bat to win the World Series in conjunction with the rest of this unbelievable lineup that they have and hope and pray that the. the starters that we have go deep into the game and the bullpen shubs, okay? Because I just don't want to risk future Otani and future championships for a couple of innings in a postseason where, again, if everything's riding on this dude pitching and he hasn't pitched in a year and a half, that's a flipping problem. Listen, this is my final thought on it. Imagine on your keychain, you're walking around every day on your keychain.

you have toenail clippers. You're never using them. You never use those toenail clippers, but it's nice to have them there. And in case you need him while you're somewhere in the middle of the wilderness, or in the middle of a Walmart parking lot, or maybe in the middle of the World Series. It's nice to have those toenail clippers if you need him.

So stupidest analogy I've ever come up with there. But if he just keeps throwing and maybe, just maybe, somewhere close to that guy that closed out the 2023 WBC, That is a nice thing to have either in your back pocket or on your keychain. The 2023 WBC was in March. It's going to be October of 2024. That's a year and a half. Absolutely not.

So so far you have compared Austin Barnes to a rat that won't die and Shohei Otani to a pair of toenail clippers. Philip Denny, what is Clint Fasius talking about laugh by ass off? No, do not. Do not pitch him in the postseason. I'm sorry. I do not. What do you guys think? That's what Philip just thinks that Clint's crazy with the tone-nell comparison.

But what do you guys think? Should Show Hayotani, all things being equal, he's healthy, he's cleared. Should he pitch in the postseason? I want to know what you think. Clint, this is interesting. Quickly, no one of Tony pitches. He shuts down the haters who say we overpaid for him. He's already paid dividends for what they, he's already worth more than 700 million.

I don't care. We're going to talk about it about his jersey and what he's meant to this club and the country and the world and all the things. So he's he's actually we're getting him at a bargain. Yeah. Okay. So you yesterday when my Denver Broncos were beating up on our bosses, New York Jets, you had a conversation about something very near and dear to a friend of yours. Speak to this about peace over violence.

What more can you tell us about that? So guys, I've been teasing it on, on my social media that I was going to do my big time bracket reveal. If you guys don't know first what the hottest Dodger bracket is, there's a fan on the Twitter, McKenna Martin. She's been doing this now for the last few years. I think, man, this might be the seventh or eighth one of these. But the last three seasons, or now this is the fourth season, it has been a fundraiser as well to help benefit the peace over violence and go into the domestic violence action fund. Dodgers fans have raised over the last three years, $23,000. We're already at like $5,600, $5,700 so far in just a few days of this great.

I mean, ideally, of course, we're talking about domestic finance. It's not great, but the fact that so many fans can come together, donate, and you're also having something, doing something stupid and fun at the same time talking about who's the hottest Dodger on this 26-man roster. So let's get my big board up there. the big reveal of who's my guy. You're a four-year-old to write this out? Listen, it was hard.

It's on a tiny screen. I should have printed or I should have done it on my computer. But my bad. But the point is, to Oscar Hernandez is your 2024 hottest Dodger. The smile, the vibes, the sunflower seeds. He's got a plentiful supply. And I love sunflower seeds while I'm driving.

Controversial, I know. But I got to Oscar Hernandez as my guy. And I also donated 50 bucks to the event, to the charity, whatever. I can't think of the words right now. But in part of this fundraiser, 50 bucks I donated there. Hopefully everybody else can also chip in something. There's a raffle side of this. I think if you donate $10 or more, you can enter the raffle.

You can get bobbleheads. There's books. There's a whole bunch of other swag. But yeah, controversial out of nowhere. Teaska Hernan. is extend the man. He's the hottest mofo out there. But I, but I need to know what, what is the criteria? Is this like he has a great smile? He's a good looking dude. Or is he just like the hottest hitter, like the best, you know, the best player? Like what, what am I voting on?

It, it's, I interpret it the way I want to. And I, I take all things into consideration vibes. How do they make me feel on the inside? Do they make me feel special? And Oscar Hernandez makes me feel special. That's just where I'm. at with this. Show him. Very handsome boy, very pretty boy. Tyler Glassnow, sorry. You let me down.

You let me down. You weren't here when I needed you the most. All that kind of dumb shit. I don't have any set criteria when I'm talking about this. But it's also fun. It does bring the fan base together because you can do the bracket. You don't need to donate. You can still do the bracket online.

Our friend, Stephen Nelson, also did his bracket as well. talked about it on the broadcast over the weekend. So hopefully people can check it out. Hopefully people also believe that Dasker Hernandez is the hottest Dodger this year. All right. I'm going to go ahead and fill that out as well. So thank you for doing it.

Thank you for bringing attention to this very worthy cause. I am in for 500 bucks. I will fill that out. And I will donate that. And I think Clint's criteria is who does he want to send to the moon the least? That's that's Clint's criteria as who's going to win. All right, we're going to get to the last looks here in a second after a quick word from AJ Piersinski, Scott Braun, and Eric Crats.

We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going.

When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words

apparently are digestive words. Sphinctor, peristaltis, duodenum. It's fascinating. It's funny, and it matters so much more than you think. episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Matters.

All right, Hew, thanks for being a part of the show. We appreciate you very much. It's time now for Last Licks. These two guys, Teddy and Shadow desperately need to foster ASAP, guys. Unfortunately, both of their owners, they actually have a home, but both of their owners are in the hospital for an extended. amount of time. We're not certain what's going on. And these two dogs are going to get end up in a shelter and very likely not make it out of a shelter alive. Again, they obviously, if you're watching

us right now, you can tell that they need a good bath and a groom. Gidre's Guardian Foundation will take care of the grooming. We will take care of all foster supplies. There is no cost to you as a foster. Please reach out to us, gidreysgarden.org or hit me up on social media to get more information. Again, no cost to you, but they desperately, desperately need a home. All right, Clint, let's talk a bit about something that I saw today. It was posted all over the interweb, and I'm thrilled. Guys, finally getting to go back to wearing their team jerseys for the All-Star game, you said it was because bullying works.

I don't condone that message, Clint Paseous. But the point is, I am glad that Major League Baseball listened to all of us. No more of the stupid All-Star jerseys. They're going back to their home team jerseys. I love it. That's great. another thing too. They're fixing, writing a lot of the wrongs that happened this year with the uniforms,

the see-through uniforms, the two-tone uniforms when players got a little sweaty, the smaller text, all that, they're undoing all of those problems. So, you know what? I do not ever do this, but a little bit of props to Rob Manfred for listening. I mean, there's probably somebody smarter than Rob, Rob, who decided to do it, and Rob's like, yeah, whatever, just deal with it. But somebody somewhere in Major League Baseball said, enough is enough. Let's actually listen to what the fans want.

I know, novel concept. And fans getting, I think the overwhelming majority of fans want this. Want it all of it. No, no question about it. So good. Kudos to you, Major League Baseball for getting this done. I appreciate that. All right, Clint, a lot to talk about.

We'll figure out to have a better idea of who the Dodgers may play as the Atlanta Braves were winning game run. I don't know if game one is over. Has game two started yet? I mean, the Mets just came back. It's 4-3 right now. No, is it really? We have ourselves a ball game. We have ourselves a ball game.

So for those of you listening, not understanding, the Arizona Diamondbacks, whoever wins the first game, the Arizona Diamondbacks need that club to win the second game and then the D-backs are in. If they split the double header between Mark, our bosses and Mets is a Yankees fan, but he said, Mets just put up sixth spot in the eighth. Wow, it's still going on crazy. All right. So anyway, if there's a split, Arizona is out. What's coming up on all Dodgers with Clint Paceous?

Well, we'll be talking probably about this doubleheader and who the Dodgers could be facing. We should have a better idea of the wild card matchups being set in stone, at least we hope. So that's coming up tonight, 6 p.m. Pacific time. Plus, I got voicemails coming in from the fans. I want to know how people feel about this season and about the postseason coming up. So, guys, tube in, all Dodgers with Clint Paseas, and we'll have a good time. Alana, who outside of, we know the Padres are in? in that spot who's uh who are you more worried about Mets or Braves Padres but who am I more worried

about the Mets I think they're more complete healthy team right now Francisco indoors not even 100% and he went two for four yesterday and stole a bag I mean Pete Alonzo needs to to heat up a little bit but I think that it's taken so much for the Braves to get here that they'll probably end up running out of gas um but I picked um yeah I don't know I stink at this a Hollywood movie would be L.A versus San Diego and the NLDS, LA versus Arizona in the NLCS, and Astros in the World Series, the Revenged Star. Well, actually, Noah, I'm hoping that the Tigers knock out the Astros before that's even a thing. I would love it if A.J. Hinch went back and shoved it down the Astros throat. Just the drama.
