Starting point is 00:02:05 Welcome to a live Dodgers Territory post game on this June 24th. I am Alon Arizzo. That is Clint Pesius. We are so psych that you guys are with us. Thank you so much for being here. And get your comments into the chat. We already got some folks that are weighing in, but we want you guys to weigh in as well. And thanks again for liking, subscribing, rating us five stars, all of the things as we try to make our way to
Starting point is 00:02:46 20,000 subs. We are getting there, you guys. We are getting there. But share your thoughts about the game in the live chat. Let's get into this one. Clint, we are at the halfway point. Game 81 of 162 right-hander Shohei Otani versus right-hander Joe Ryan. Dodgers win. And that's a good thing, right? So that's like that's number one thing. And then we break it down from there. If you had to have like a little bit of a broad brushback of this game. What is your take, sir? Broadstroke, weird game for Shohei. You're happy the Dodgers win.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Pick up win number 52 on the season. Otani gets his eighth win on the bump. Tanner Scott, the guy we expected to be leading the team in saves, picks up save number 11. But yeah, a little bit of a weird game for Otani. A lot a bit of a weird game for Dalton rushing. Sure, let's put the pitcher graphic up here for show. Sure, the line looks nice.
Starting point is 00:03:45 The V-Lo, my God, was the Velo there, but six innings, two earned, three runs allowed overall, the five hits. Eight K's mixed in there. This, according to Fabian Ardaio, of the Athletic, threw consistently harder than he had at any other, in any other start, any other appearance in the past, averaging 99.8 miles per hour on the fastball. So he was feeling himself, maybe that split finger, or sorry, not the split finger, remember the blister wasn't so much of an issue for him in this game. But yeah, the other factor is it seems like, you know, him and Dalton weren't quite in lockstep. You saw the passball.
Starting point is 00:04:21 You saw the different, you know, moments where he really wanted to challenge. And Dalton was like, no, waving him off kind of emphatically. I thought that was, you don't see that. You really don't see that with the Dodgers. What was your take there with, you know, the passball and just kind of a little emphatic back and forth there between the battery? Well, I think just based on pedigree, based on production, based on contract, based on back of the baseball card, you're going to defer to Shohei Otani, right? Like I think he has a better sense of what's going on. Now, I will say this, as far as ABS challenges are concerned, the ones that have the most success are catchers.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Yeah. Okay. And then second are position players. finally it's the pitcher okay as far as least amount of success but the problem is show hey is both and I just don't think that they were on the same page tonight like it just looks like they were out of lockstep show hey didn't seem like he was very pleased and show he is a very like emotional like his face is very emotional he has a lot of different expressions but I tell you what
Starting point is 00:05:40 But I just feel like, again, and this whole situation with Dalton Rush and keeps kind of like following him, you know, with the expressions and the attitude and the antics and all of the things. But you cannot piss off show hey. And I don't know that this was a piss off show hey moment. But it was something that you could tell these two were not on the same page. And you can't do that. And again, again, this is, this is a, it's an unfortunate situation. Typically, it would be Will Smith behind the plate, catching Shoahe, right? Will Smith is not available.
Starting point is 00:06:16 He's on the IL. So Dalton rushing has been catapulted to the number one catcher. And then there's Chuckie Robinson. I don't know. I just, no, I mean, he had a good, listen, he had a good game yesterday. But the point is, I don't know. It just, it didn't look good. There seems to be a little bit of disconnect between the two of them.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But I will say this, there were some coachable moments there. And I even tweeted about this. It's like you see Dalton rushing. in the dugout. Dave Roberts had his arm like around him and was like just talking to him. And this is why I love Dave because he doesn't get too high or too low about anything.
Starting point is 00:06:51 But it wasn't just Dave, it was Freddie Freeman. It was Mark Pryor. There was some veteran leadership from Freddie. There was obviously some coaching moments from Mark and from Dave. But it just like Dalton keeps showing up in these moments, right? And it's like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:07:10 Again, this is the narrative. I kind of feel like Dalton rushing is Alex Verdugo 2.0. You know, I'm not going to take anything away from that take. I think Dalton, I mean, he's 25 years old. He feels like a young 25, and I'm not going to say you're coming down on him because I don't think you are. I think you're sharing your opinion, and I think you're sharing an astute observation that you were seeing
Starting point is 00:07:36 and covering the game in all the years that you have. I think this wasn't so much of an antics thing. I think, yeah, more so. I mean, I don't know how you get crossed up in the day and age where, you know, the shit is going in your ear telling you, you know, you're either pushing the buttons or Shoah is telling what you want. That's a little weird. But I think it was more so just a rough game.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I do wonder, I mean, obviously Dalton and Cole by Cole had put it in the chat as well. Coming off of, you know, missing a game was exited early two games before with the whole, maybe there was a concussion in there. They did check him for a concussion. If he's in the game, I would assume that they ruled it out, so I'm not saying that that is an issue. But at the moment, I was listening to the game, to Tim and Moe calling the game. And I was wondering, you know, I think it was Tim and Mo at least. I was half listening, apparently.
Starting point is 00:08:26 But anyways, I was wondering, hey, is something right in the Noggin? Is everything, all the marbles there, all the screws where they're supposed to be? Again, I don't think that's a situation. I think it was just a little bit of a rough game. and you and I were talking before even going live, it's a different animal when you are the young kid, second year catcher going out there and catching Shohai Otani in front of Target Fields first sell out of the year
Starting point is 00:08:53 because Shohay Otani is on the mound. That's a lot of pressure to a degree. I think he should be able to handle it. This is a kid who has pedigree. He's still cutting his teeth here at the big league level, but he has caught big games. He's done it on the Louisville stage. He's done it now.
Starting point is 00:09:12 He has a World Series champion, all that kind of stuff. I think it was really just a bad game. And you mentioned going back to the coachable moments. I think that's huge. The fact that you want this kind of shit to happen now, where you can have Freddie Freeman put his arm around you, Dave Roberts, Mark Pryor, the mental skills coach, whose name escapes me,
Starting point is 00:09:33 what mental skills I have, to have them sit there and be like, it's going to be great. You're fine. It happens. It happens to everybody in the big leagues. You're going to have a bad game. It's how do you move on from it? And luckily the Dodgers win.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I feel like, yeah, luckily the Dodgers won, but we're used to them winning. And they have a billion game leave in the division. But here's the deal. Like, to me, that type of stuff should be handled behind the scenes. And I can appreciate the fact that, like, Dave did it and Freddie did it. and Mark Pryor did it, but like now this is what we're talking about, right? Like Dalton continues to take away the energy. Like Dave must have been sitting with him on the bench, on the back bench of the dugout for 10 minutes, right?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Like, I don't know. Like you cannot be as a backup catcher and now the primary catcher until Will gets back. You cannot be that much of a time suck for the manager and the pitching coach. and everybody else, the, you know, a future Hall of Famer because you had a really shitty inning or really shitty game.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Grow up. Grow up. Like I really feel like this dude is, I mean, he's probably never going to come on our show again, but so be it. I really feel like this dude is like, Alex Rodriguez.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I really feel like this dude is like Alex Verdugo. Like either we get it, but you better start producing and you better fucking figure it out because enough. Enough with the anti. enough with the like, don't piss, I'm sorry. Don't piss off Shohei.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Don't piss off Shohei. Okay, that's where I'm all the way in. Terry, before we go to a break, we got a $4.99 super chat from Terry Hesticles. And let me square this up. It says, four people to talk to him like a child. The optics alone did not look great at all. Rookie shows up Otani. No point.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah, maybe there. The showing up Otani. And again, I caught some of the replay on Twitter after the fact. mostly listening to it, they didn't necessarily give you that kind of imagery on the radio broadcast that there was a lot. But, you know, looking at the video afterwards, it looked a little bit worse. And again, better this happen now, I'll take the positive outlook of it, better this happens now, get it squared away. And it didn't, nobody got hurt and it didn't cost you a win. the point that we continue to have to talk about Dalton rushing and his emotions so many times in a season and that we're halfway through is all you need to know.
Starting point is 00:12:11 How many times are we going to have to talk about Dalton rushing and his emotions or his antics or his shenanigans or any of it? When are we talking about a catcher this much? A backup catcher at that who's obviously throttom. trust into the A position on the catching card right now. Yeah, no, that's fair. I get it. Apparently, I'm taking the soft approach today where I don't want to slam that kid. Which is weird, because that's usually me. Well, again, I was listening. I didn't get as big of a picture. But if I feel different, I will bitch about it tomorrow when we're back live at noon o'clock, Pacific time, 3 p.m.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Eastern. But for right now, we've got to pay a bill. We're going to tell you about Riz's going to tell you about FanDuel.

Starting point is 00:14:37 I wanted to pop up from Fritzie the Dog, $1.99 on the super chats. This is promote Charles Entertainment. That's what we call Chuckie Robinson. Chuckie Robinson. Yes, it's Chuck E. Cheese. Anyways, promote him to backup shortstop, or backup backstop, which is what he is right now. Terry on your side as well. he needs to knock the child this shit off.
Starting point is 00:15:00 And yeah, to button up, the final thing I'll say about Rush, I like the kid. I want the best for the kid because the better he is, the better the Dodgers are going to be. But yeah, there's still, I wouldn't say showmanship, but he needs to outwardly display that he is feeling something a little too often. You know, whether we see him snapping his bat over his leg or, you know, cussing himself out after he struck out for a third. time in a game. There's probably a little bit too much of that. And I think that's what they decided today was the day to try to nip that in the butt a little bit with Freddie saying something. And Freddie, the way he sat down, it was like, all right, here we go, young man. We're going to have a little chat ski right here about some stuff. There's a certain, there's a certain time and
Starting point is 00:15:47 place for everything. I think the Dodgers are very, very good allowing guys to be themselves. I do not think the Dodgers are trying to get Dalton Rishing to be somebody that he's not. I do not want Dalton Rushing to be somebody that he is not, but you need to learn how to control your emotions and you need to learn how to do it in a certain respect. It's Shohei effing O-Ton. Could you imagine, could you imagine if it was Clayton on the Hill? Oh, yeah. That's a different one. I'm probably, you know, flying my ass over to target field to slap them around a little bit. Okay, I'm assuming my opinion would be different. I'm just, I'm serious, though. Think about it if it was Clayton. You're not doing that to Clayton.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Definitely not. Well, I'm sure we'll have some more thoughts about this again tomorrow. I want to talk about we're going to spin positive. We're going to have some positive things because Mooky Betts, dare I say it, Riz. It feels like he's all the way back. Three hit game. It's another three hit game for Marcus Lynn Betts tonight. It includes his ninth homer of the season, 300th of his career. So congrats to Mookie there finishes a triple.
Starting point is 00:16:54 That is super cool. It really is. It really is. Three hundredth of his career. I mean, he goes in a Dodger uniform now. Which is crazy too because like Moogie, you don't think a Moogie is a home run hitter,
Starting point is 00:17:04 but already have already having 300 in his career with all of his defensive prowess and all of the ability to move all over the field. Congratulations to you, sir. We are super proud of you. This was a good game. Again, Dodgers win, Dodgers sweep. We are able to nitpick, right?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Because of how good this team is. So congrats, Mookie. We are definitely proud of you. Number 161. He's no long. Remember a couple of days ago or a couple of shows ago we're like, I'm okay with Mookie, like, you know, not giving us the offense that we're accustomed to. And he's getting older and this, that, the other thing, as long as he continues to be a good defensive shortstop. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:17:48 The thing is, like, this is why you can never count Mookie bets out. Even through that, he was quietly telling us to shut the fuck up because he had been pretty. hot up to that point and he you know chip in another three hit game uh last 15 games he is 20 for 63 that is a 317 average three homers four doubles 12 runs scored still not doing a lot in the rbi i think he's he's at four over those last two weeks but it looks like he has found something the deeper we get and i think the deeper we're getting this this uh this hot stretch that we're in the more i believe and other people i mean mookie's got a lot of haters right now in the last couple of seasons.
Starting point is 00:18:27 For Mary had reasons, but I believe Mooky's back. Like, you're seeing confidence, you're seeing Swagger, you're seeing him find grass, which was something I either said on this show or on my All Dodger show. What I need to see out of Mooky Betts is
Starting point is 00:18:44 don't worry about the long ball. That shit is going to happen on its own. Worry about just hitting the ball hard, finding yourself some grass, my dude, and he's doing that right now. Yeah, I just, again, We said it the other day that it's like I'll take whatever we can get out of Mookie offensively because everything he does for this team, he's so selfless. Everything he does defensively.
Starting point is 00:19:08 But again, every time you kind of count Mookie bets out, here he comes again. Like I'm the greatest, you know, I'm the greatest in the world. I'm the greatest in the game. And I'm happy for him. I'm proud of him. And his last 10 games have been so unbelievably impressive. Three, 50. You see the numbers there.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Three home runs. Four, rubbies. the OPS over 1,000. His on-base percentage is $3.95, the stolen base. I just love it. I love Mookiee. I love everything he does. He's a gamer, and I think it's super impressive what he continues to do.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I mean, my goodness, it's amazing when we sit here as experts, as we say, and criticize a four-time World Series champion. He's just, he's an impressive human being, and God bless him. And again, this is why this team is. so impressive because we can get the production up and down the lineup in different ways. All right, guys, much more to come, but first a word from our friends at Fowell Territory. You know why you're enjoying this minute? Because we're happy, Kratz.

When the hell that's going to happen? But beyond that, I still want to talk more Mookie, because he entered the month hitting
Starting point is 00:22:04 194, got it up to, got the average up now to 230, which, yeah, I'll put the numbers back on the screen. In totality, it's not a sexy looking season, hit 230, 290 on base, but it's trending. That's season one. That's the first half. there is still a lot more season for Mookie bets. It is not how you start. It is how you finish Clint Paseas.
Starting point is 00:22:31 But here's a funny, here's an interesting question. And I will go, I will defer to our chat for this. We just had it in here. Give me just one moment. I apologize. At Yungi, Youngie, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, I apologize, Y, Y, 2788. Should we, well, I'm assuming should we move Mookiee back to, second past is struggling at secondary so that was that's a little bit of a cluster there but I mean
Starting point is 00:22:56 I guess the point is should we move mokey back up in the lineup now that he's really kind of starting to produce a little bit or do we just leave him where he is there it is I was trying to find the chat so I can pop it on the screen for I know there's I appreciate all the comments guys thank you guys are killing it appreciate you guys hanging out with us tonight following oh I didn't even pop it on the screen after I found it dumbass uh yeah youngy and what's funny this is lockstep This is somebody who watches a lot of my content hangs out with us in all of the chats. And I have that in the rundown. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:29 When do you start to have that consideration? Is it too soon to consider moving Mookie back up in the lineup? Because the two-hole, to all due respect, Andy Pahez, has continued to be a black hole this season for the Dodgers. He is the least terrible of the two-hole hitter so far for the Dodgers this season. But with where Mookie is at, I would like to see him potentially. move back up in that lineup. You get more of the run scoring opportunities, find a way to move Shohei Otani over,
Starting point is 00:23:58 maybe get driven in by Freddie or whatever it is. What I think happens, I think Teo is going to be the deciding factor. Teo, cranked another homer at Reno tonight for the Oklahoma City Comets, probably back with the Dodgers in Sacramento. Maybe they wait a little bit longer, but two homers and two games are ready
Starting point is 00:24:21 for Teoska Hernandez, the big key that you need. If you are moving Mookie out of that four hole right now, you need another right-handed power bat to plug back in. And that's going to be Taya. I just don't think you have to, like, move guys immediately just because, oh, man, this guy's doing really well. It's like immediately move him up in the lineup. Oh, this guy's being terrible right now because it's been two games in which he's
Starting point is 00:24:41 been over for eight. Let's move here to overreact. I know. We are here to overreact. So let's not do that, right? Like, let's just see what happens. Mookie is doing well right now. Remember, we were ready two years ago where I was to send antipies to the moon.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And now he's the leading vote getter in the National League in outfielders. Okay. So, I mean, let's just not, we are the kings and queens of overreaction because that is what these types of shows lend themselves to be. Yes, Maddy Man 5 Dodge 101. For God's sake, leave Mookie where he is. He's finally hitting. I kind of agree with him.
Starting point is 00:25:14 You know what I mean? Like, let's not try to move him up in the order. He's finally getting into a group. for the love of Pete and all of creation. Let's not try to change everything just because the man is hitting. Port 4 Medical Super Chat, 189. We appreciate you guys so much.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Teo, two arms and two days. Can't wait for his return. Same. Same, same, same. But that does not mean you need to move Moogie all over the dang lineup. Let's just leave it the way it is for a hot, just a hot second.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Just a hot second, guys. It's okay. It's going to be great. And then Fritzie the dog also, 499. three hit game for Moogie. Awesome. Check that fielding percentage.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Another thing. He's doing it on both sides. Like, I think he always has been on the defensive side. Well, I mean, from right field back to short. The start last year, he would beg to differ. Like the level of play we're seeing at shortstop right now with Mookie,
Starting point is 00:26:06 this is Gold Glove caliber. Eventually, he got there after X amount of months, four months last season. It took him time. He's there right. This is, he is a complete player again right now. he is, he arguably can be the best short. I mean, there's a reason I said entering the season that this guy's going to be like top three in NL MVP voting because we know the numbers are going to be there,
Starting point is 00:26:31 but to have mooky bets type numbers as, you know, at the shortstop position, you can't do that. Like, you don't, you get that with Corey Seeger, but you also get him being hurt fucking a hundred games a year, you know? But that's what I don't think people understand is how difficult it is to do what these guys do on a day in and day out basis. I mean, obviously, being a shortstop is the most demanding defensive position on the field with the exception of maybe being the catcher.
Starting point is 00:27:01 But in terms of a defensive position and what they're expected to do offensively, there is no tougher position than being a shortstop. And Muki is the most selfless dude on the planet and the ability to be able to do all of the things that he's doing and to be the type of gold glove caliber shortstop that he is is is pretty impressive so let's just let let let let just leave it give it a little breath or a hot second just take a breath just well how about this how about do when teo comes back do you put teo in the
Starting point is 00:27:37 two hole because i want to see them move and he pa his down i think um he was absolutely killing it in the six hole and as good as his season the you know the totality of the number still are for Andy I want to see the numbers kind of continue to climb back up and maybe it's an exposure thing maybe hitting behind show hey it in front of Freddie hasn't been great for him do you put show hey in that sorry to put teo in that two hole maybe maybe maybe I just don't am I asking the wrong person should we ask Dave no no no no I mean yeah yeah Dave get in there but I but here but here's the deal I like until until we're struggling for we're and still until we're absolutely jockeing for position in the division, then I'll really start worrying about the order of which we're putting
Starting point is 00:28:26 in our lineup. We have a massive lead right now. Like I'm not, I'm not worried about it. It's fair. Worried about it. Also, quick, quick shout out. Swollen Sausage Dollar 99 in the chat says, nice to see you again, Alana with two ends. Nice to see you. And then hello, Clint. Awesome. Hello, by the way. Somebody clip that. We just have, we just have to include Clint. somebody clip what alana said before i ruined it there and also 10 bucks from nancy brown says money for the dogs yes in recognition of the sweep by the way before we went live here this lady who's always working was working on uh her gidreys guardian stuff so you guys know about the auction by the way i don't have actually i guess i technically do go go sign up for the auction it's got to find it here it is right
Starting point is 00:29:14 here you guys you guys you two auctions dot com there it is 32 auctions dot com slash MLB Baseball. Yeah, these are four amazing field level seats and free parking at Dodgers Stadium. It's Red Sox at the Dodgers. Now, the Red Sox are terrible, but it is a two. They are they're really bad this year. They have the least amount of wins, you guys. However, it's still a historic franchise and all of the money goes to the Pups.
Starting point is 00:29:43 So anyway, if you want to support it, that would be really, really great. One more break, and then we've got to come back, and then I got to flame Tyler Glasnow. So everybody hang tight. We'll be right back. Crats, Mint Mobile plans, still just $15 a month. And you're getting a ton from that $15. That's right. And we've talked about this for a while.

We have a ton to celebrate Toronto.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Happy Pride. Iheart Radio. All right, final stretch of the show here. We got some good updates. Got some bad updates from Dave Roberts before the game. These from Fabian Ardaia, Katie Wu's counterpart over there at The Athletic. We'll do the positive stuff first. You see the first tweet, the quote tweet in there.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Blake Snow is going to throw another bullpen session Friday. It's going to be all fastballs at Petco Park or Dodger Stadium South. If you prefer that. Kyle Tucker swung the bat today. Did not do it on the field. He did do it in the batting cages still probably maybe on track for a Friday return. And then we get to the bad stuff. Will Smith not doing baseball activities, which I guess given some time for that injection to the sort of take in the neck.
Starting point is 00:32:11 What do they call that stuff? Cortisone shot. Cortisone shot. There you go. Didn't have that planned in my old Noggin to say. But yeah, that's fine. You know, if he returns after the trip through Sacramento, that's all well and good. But Tyler Glass now, my sweet word, not throwing right now this according to Dave.
Starting point is 00:32:32 And Alana, how in God's greener, do we go from he's not going to go on the IL to he's going to miss the minimum to he's going on the 60 day to he's not throwing a baseball three months later or whatever it is? Um, this is my fault. I was positive. I called Tyler Glasnow an ace. I went to glazing the dude. What the shit? Like, I understand it's a back and all that kind of stuff, but I got a lot of crap for my opinions about this guy's inability to stay on the field. And that was the limiting factor in him not being an ace in my opinion. Yeah, he had elite stuff. He has elite stuff. At this point, we could say he had elite stuff. But right now, I'm looking at somebody like Tyler Glasnow as if you come back, cool. If not, you know, we're all jumping in the car and we're fucking leaving the gas station right now. Like, let's move on. Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You're not wrong. I mean, this is always been the bugaboo about Tyler Glasna, right? When he is healthy, he is one of the best in the game. But how long can he be healthy? How much can you get out of him? You know, the best ability is availability. And he's not available a lot. And he's been hurt more than he's not.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I kind of feel like, you know, we were having this conversation the other day about, what's this nut? Jacob deGrom. And it's like he's, you know, Hall of Famer, but is he? Is he? Because he's always hurt.
Starting point is 00:34:06 And, you know, that's the thing about Tyler Glazer, not to say he's a whole famer because he's not. But when he is healthy, he's such a weapon, but you cannot count on him. And that's, that's, that's unfortunate. The good thing is the daughters have the depth to be able to work their way around it. But that's why people call him Glass Now, because he's very breakable. And it's unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:34:28 And I, I love the dude, but you can't count on him. And that's, that's, that's, that's, that's the bugaboo. Oh, yeah, Diane Schroeder. What's up? Glass now is Glass. She's not wrong. And that's unfortunate. I mean, when is this guy going to come back?
Starting point is 00:34:42 you can't count on him. I mean, maybe this is all part of their evil plan. Like, he's going to come back in the postseason. And, okay, maybe they know more than we do. But this is not a gentleman that you can count on. And thank God for the likes of Justin Robleski, who, by the way, we are hoping that Robo joins us on the show on Monday. We asked him to come on Thursday tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:35:05 But it's an off day. And his beautiful girlfriend is going to join him in San Diego. And that's far more important with their stuff. schedule than coming on with us. Hopefully he'll be on a Monday. But the point is, Justin Robleski has such a huge addition. Eric Lauer, such a huge addition because of the likes that Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow are not available.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So again, yeah, it's tough love. I mean, D-T-W-Y-W-W-W-W-T, never mind, whatever. Letters and numbers. It is, it is. It is tough love. It is, it is tough love. but it's like it's annoying. Like, I mean, how are you able to help your team?
Starting point is 00:35:48 Again, maybe this is part of their evil plan. I don't know, but it's annoying. There are suggestions in the chat saying that he's probably fine. They're just banking him for the second half of the season. And if it is, cool. I still think I agree with the sentiment of the best ability is availability. And yeah, there's also people in the chat. And I fully agree with the fact that they do have a nine game lead in the NL.
Starting point is 00:36:12 West. They are not hurting for starters at the moment. Everything has been quite fine. But at some point, you need to see Glasnow on the field, throw in every six day for this team for any of the seasons in which he is under contract. That said, to give him, one final point on this, to give him some flowers, they don't win that World Series without him last year. He was very good in his starts, pitch some big innings in relief as well, including, what was a game six coming on in relief and then, you know, pitching again in game seven, getting some big innings there. And again, maybe that's all part of their master plan. Maybe Tyler Glazow is super healthy. Maybe he is, maybe they're all looking at this and laughing at us. Maybe. And that's great.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And if that leads them to their third straight world championship, God bless him. But You just see Andrew Friedman and company. They're watching this show right now. Popcorn. I wish. I wish that. I mean, that's fine. I would be super psyched if they're like, this bitch doesn't know anything.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Perfect. If that means, if that means that they get, they know what they're doing and they get another World Series championship, great. I love it. Perfect. Yeah. But it is annoying from the outside. Like when you spend that much money on a dude. And he seems to not ever be available.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Yeah. That's frustrating. That's frustrating as a fan. If the Dodgers are doing that, we appreciate them giving us the talking points. Something to talk about. We do this three days a week. I do this way too many days a week. And we appreciate you guys hanging out with us for most of them.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Before we sign off, we have one more of the super chats that just came in from the Doxon dude. Pop this up on the screen to button up. To button up the show with the Dalton talk. I love that Dalton has already becoming baseball's heel. heal every sport is more fun with this guy everybody loves to hate doing his role but the thing is i don't want to hate him and i want him to last and i want him to have a great career but to me he's starting to become like that alec rdugo guy i'm sorry he's just starting to become that dude for me it's an sorry i love that that alice bradugo guy all right guys we'll be back tomorrow 12 o'clock pacific
