The Dodgers, they protect their medical information, but they lie. They lie. They are very creative with the words that they choose. Dave is a great politician when it comes to this. One of the things I love about him. That music means one thing.

And that thing is that we are here, a brand new, fresh episode of Dodgers territory. Welcome, everybody. I'm Alana Rizzo. That is my guy, Clint Paseas. We are here for the next half an hour talking all things, Dodgers. The team is off today, Clint. But that doesn't mean we don't have stuff to talk about. So let's get to it.

Let's get to the big ticket. Let's do it. So the good news is Clint Paseas, the Dodgers, took the series against the mighty Texas Rangers there in Globe Live Field. So that is a positive. However, it was a bit of a slow offensive week for your boys in blue. What do you make of the lineup production or lack thereof, the quality of A-Bs and just the offense in general over that three-game set?

Yeah, I mean, we know they were out there facing some quality pitching, Jacob de Grom back from the dead puts up a hell of a start against my Syung pick. Yoshinobo Yamamoto. We'll talk about Yama in a little bit. After that, Nate Ievaldi doing what Eivaldi does is carving up some dudes looking really, really good. He's not an ace, like top-level ace, but he still very much gets the job done. And then, you know, the reinvented Tyler Mali doing really good things against the Dodgers. Now, is it facing three aces or is it the offense being a little bit lackluster for? for your boys in blue. That's really the question, I think, on a lot of people's minds as we look at

numbers. And let's, I kind of want us to structure the show a little bit good, bad, then ugly. Sure, sure. So we'll talk about good. But the offense, again, leaving something to be desired, but maybe we focus on the good part of the pitching first. I love it. Glass half full, whatever is in your glass. Let it be full. I'm going to talk about something good. And that is your Sy Young pick for the National League, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He's been really. really solid so far this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Clint, three and one, but look at the ERA, my friend, a 0.93 earned run average, 178 opponents batting against him, only major league baseball pitcher in the modern era.

I'm talking about this right here with these stats to have 35 or more strikeouts, a five or more strikeout to walk ratio, fewer than 20 hits allowed, fewer than five runs allowed over his first five starts of a season. And there's a lot of fives going on there, but it's all good. I'm going to give him a high five for the way that Yamamoto has pitched so far in 2025. Yeah, I mean, the difference a year makes, you know, this time a year ago, we're talking about that awful start in Korea. Why did they give this guy $325 million? Well, there's a reason why.

You know, he was one of the best pitchers in the world whilst pitching in Japan. Whilst. Whilst. Yeah, he was an absolute ace there. He's a dog. He's dominant. And we're seeing it now. This is your Dodgers ace.

This is your Dodgers stopper. He's got everything this team needs. When you need to go out there and get a win and know that your offense isn't clicking. It's not firing on all cylinders. He's going to keep you in the game and put together some low numbers for this team to hopefully eke out a 1-0-0 or in his case a 3-0 shutout victory over the Rangers. And it is to your credit that you pick this guy to be, you know, an award winner at the of the season. I wasn't, he wasn't my guy, you know, he really wasn't my guy. I don't know if I even,

I don't even remember what the heck I picked. I probably picked Snell, uh, who's hurt and Glasnow who, uh, apparently has cramping issues. Yeah. So what the heck do I know? But the point is, uh, Yama's been great. How sustainable is this? How long, oh, five minutes. The show's five minutes past, five minutes past the show. Yeah. How sustainable is it? I mean, realistically, how sustainable is it for, for anybody, you know, he's got to stay healthy. He's, uh, the stuff is there. He's getting better and better as his major league career matures. He's just got to keep on doing his thing. That's really what it comes down to for Yamamoto. Stay healthy. Make sure that shoulder stays healthy. Be on the bump every week. That's where we're at right now.

I mean, Friday is, on Tuesdays we wear, on Wednesdays we wear pink and on Yamamoto Day, it's Friday. And I'm good with that. I'm happy with that. It's working out for the Dodgers. It's about filling in all the other little holes in between, hoping that Dustin May doesn't turn into a pumpkin or something like that because they need a lot out of him this week, this weekend to start tomorrow against the Cubs because every other pitcher's head's kind of falling off. Roki Sasaki, let's talk about the other part of that Japanese tandem there

because Roki, another good start out of Roki son. He keeps getting better and better first time making into the sixth inning in his major league career, two hits, the two runs, three walks, 4Ks, you know, good, not great, but you got to like the steady improvement for Roky Sasaki. You know what I love Clint about Sasaki is he had 16 first pitch strikes facing 22 guys. Like he's just pounding the zone early. And that's what you want, right?

You want him to be able to pound the zone. You want some movement on the fastball. You want to force the hitter to hit what he's given you. And he looks really good. His first quality starts. So good job, Roki Sasaki. Proud of you, if I can say that, not trying to be condescending. But all we want to see, and we talked about it, all we want to see is improvement, right?

Throughout the season, you just have to continually get better. And as Dodger Insider pointed out, Roki Sasaki has completed six innings for the first time in his major league career. Sasaki came into this game with the 50% first strike percentage. It's 73% today. And that is where you get the number of the 16 first strikes to 22 batter. So again, he's improving. And that's all that you can ask for. You had said you wanted to go good, bad, good.

We went good, good, let's talk about the bat. And the bad is not even atrocious. It's just something we would like to see better. And that is the offense stepping up a little bit. I just don't feel, and we were talking about it with Sarah, our producer, earlier today and Jeremy, that we don't feel that this club has performed on both sides of the ball equally well in the same game so far this season. So you've had some really decent offensive performances and you've had some lackluster pitching. And then vice versa, right?

I'm looking for that total team effort. Not that they're not efforting it themselves, but I'm looking for the total team effort. of where we have a laffer put up 10 runs with this lineup you should be putting up nine 10 runs right we still haven't seen that's been a little too close for comfort and even the spot starters from what we call the B team if you're being called up when some of our regulars are out they really haven't performed yet either so that there's a that's a diarrhea of the mouth right now I've talking too much you've been hanging out with me too much the point is um I just want to see a more complete game yeah the the often The offense, the pitching overall has been pretty dang solid, you know, outside of that 16-0 stinker where everybody's head fell off outside of a Roki Sasaki and that start going, I think he was going, he went four or five innings, he gave up the run. But really, the offense has left a lot to be desired throughout most of the season. Earlier today, we were talking about, you're the one who brought up.

It's like, I feel, you feel in your mind they haven't been. The offense hasn't been as good since completing that eight-nothing. or eight no start to the season. Well, the numbers don't lie. My friend Blake Harris posting this, you know, they won that eighth game, April 2nd. They were off on April 3rd. And since April 3rd, which would be April 4th, the first time they played after that. The numbers just not good.

Firmly lower, you know, middle to lower part of the pack when it comes to offensive categories. In batting average, the 20th on base percentage, they are 11th. an OPS tied for eighth, thanks to, I think it's 11th, but anyways, tied for eighth and OPS thanks to a lot of power. The team absolutely displays a lot of power so they can get by and fueling that on Slug. But still, offensively, just a lot to be desired. And I know some people will clamor for Hesong Kim to get the call up. Alex Friedland is another name. We've talked before about Dalton rushing, a lot of the rookies.

Listen, they have some good numbers down at AAA, but they also have some holes in there. games, both Kim and Freeland striking out a lot. I think Freeland is somebody, he's hitting really nice. I mean, he's hitting 329. So, you know, don't, ball don't lie there, but he's striking out over 30% at the time. But he's also facing, you know, AAA pitchers too. It's not the same, you know. It's not. And I understand, yes, that's what you want to do. You want to tear the cover off the ball at every level that you're at. But, you know, it's just, it's a huge step between AAA and the big league level. Okay, we want to do glass half full, as we mentioned. So let's talk about the fact that they still have not had the top of the lineup consistently every single game,

right? There's been a lot of games in which Otani, Freeman, and Betts have not played together. And those are the guys that are supposed to get on base, right? Those are the guys that are driving and runs. Those are the guys. Those are your offensive powerhouse, right? I mean, it's the top three in the order. And we have not had those three in the lineup consistently. So there is my glass half full assessment. That there is something. Because it hasn't been a little bit lackluster. Yeah, yeah. This is, again, the guys. this is early part of the season.

We know there's going to be times where they're going to put it all together. Even mixing Teasker in there, you know, he missed a couple of games with some sickness, one through four. There is a Michael Conforto conversation we had because he's somebody who's batten, you know, square in the middle of that lineup, and he's been struggling a whole bunch of particularly since that date we talked about before, since 4-3 hitting 125 with a 463 OPS as a homer, but 16Ks and grounded into three, double plays. It feels like more to me, but he's been, he's been a rally killer as Michael

Conforto, so need to get him going again, need to see either what he did with the Giants last year, or if he can get what he was early in his career as a New York metropolitan, that would be phenomenal. But it's still early. We're not even through April. Yeah, I mean, I think what are we doing? Like, we're 10, maybe 11, 12% of the season. Again, but we have the luxury of being fans of the Dodgers and having a show about the Dodgers where we can nitpick. I mean, if you look at anybody of the, you know, again, you don't want to be when there are only 30 teams in the league, you don't want to be 20th in anything offensively. I mean, you don't want to be at the bottom of the pack. And as Blake Harris illustrated, they're at the bottom of the pack and a lot of important

offensive categories. But it is early, we can nitpick because that's what we're supposed to do. One final thing on that. here nor there. Even with all that, as bad as it's felt, you know, in the last couple weeks, there's still a game over 500 over that span, 8 and 7 since starting 8 and 0. And they're a half game out of having, well, I guess one game out of having the best record in baseball. So even a not so like polished brand of baseball, still very good Dodger baseball. It's just not what we were expecting when you're talking about an almost like $400 million

dollar roster or however much they're paying for it. Again, you know how I feel about that, though. You know how I feel about assessing wins and losses to payroll numbers. It doesn't, that doesn't matter. It guarantees you good players. It guarantees you get into the postseason, but it doesn't guarantee you championships. And I don't hear what anybody says you can spend a bazillion dollars. If the guys aren't playing well together, it's not going to make a difference.

A lot more to come here on Dodgers territory, including some injury updates that we have for you guys. But first, let's hear from our friends at Fowell Territory. on Arena Club. Todd, Father, I love the way that modern technology has changed the way that we buy, sell trade cards, even rip packs. They're called slab packs and they're on Arena Club.

And then when you want that card and you want to show it off, what do you do? You just let Arena Club know. Let them know and grab it and take it with you. Show it off online.

And the reason being is, I don't care, I think goodness, that it doesn't look like it's a big deal. And we have, our chat is blowing up about why Tyler Glassdowne

should drink some pickle juice, because that has helped a lot of folks with cramps before. I love it. Okay, I actually, I'm a fan of pickle juice. It is neither here nor there. First you take, you shoot the whiskey, then you have the pickle back chaser, and then he'll be fighting go out there. Yeah, but don't you think, though, that whiskey's a dehydrant? If you're cramping, you don't want alcohol. But I, you know, I'm not, I'm not a doctor. I don't even play one on TV.

I play an analyst on TV, but let me ask you this. When Tyler Glassnow had to leave a start early, my heart stopped. And the reason being is you just don't know what you're going to do. And we can't, in my opinion, afford another starter, the caliber of Tyler Glass now to go on the shelf, especially since Mr. I was only supposed to miss two start Blake's Nell. is still not throwing off of a mound. That's concerning to me. And when you have, when you have two Japanese-born pitchers

that throw every six days or essentially once a week, that's problematic. So thank goodness he's okay. Thank goodness is just cramping. But it scares me like that. I'm like, oh, my God, because I'm starting to worry about the depth a little bit. And you inherently worry anytime you see anything with glass now,

any sort of injury or, you know, he can move his wrist a certain way. And you're like, oh, great, he's about to die in three hours or something like that. The Dodgers can ill afford to be without Tyler Glass now. Thankfully, everything seems to be mostly okay. He did address the whole hydration thing there because it was hot, humid, ugly in Texas on Sunday afternoon. But, you know, we all have weather apps. We all know it's going to be hot and humid in Texas in April. So you can't hydrate the day of it.

I'm not suggesting that he did hydrate the day of you have to start hydrating days before. And the Dodgers have one of the best medical staffs in the league. So I'm not knocking them. But my point is we know it's April. We know it's Texas and we know it's hot. So you've got to be prepared to be able to pitch through that. One, it's rain in Philly. Then it's rain, you know, then it's heat in Texas.

Like, come on. Yeah. With Glasnow, though, I understand where he's at. Like some people, I talked about this earlier today where like I think people like us that have watched on the Dodgers, watch Clayton Kirsch off for so many years. And I understand Kirsch is injured right now. But, you know, there was a different brand of player back in the day that would, you know, grit and force their way.

They would fight their way through a moment like this. But with Glasna, we see a lot of little injuries, you know, like that's sprained, you know, toenail or fingernail or maybe his hair doesn't have the same bounce it usually does, so he can't make it through five innings. Or there was, you know, not the best grip in Philadelphia when he was pitching because of the rain. So he kind of has the meltdown there in Philly. people are I can understand the concern with glass I can understand his concern as well the second he starts to feel something barking you know get out of there run out of there go start taking your IV or whatever it is so the calf doesn't blow up on you or whatever it was but yeah this is a team that they need glass now they need him on the bump they need to get through five or six innings because this is also a very overworked bullpen they've been phenomenal you know, tip of the cap to the bullpen.

Well, and that's another problem that I see in this. I feel like we're always playing the Cubs, by the way, but that's another problem I see. If you know that you're going to have to throw a bullpen game on a bullpen that's already pretty taxed, that goes to show me that they don't have a ton of faith in those guys that could come up and make spot starts. The Justin Robleski's of the world, the Landon Nax of the world, obviously Bobby Miller just being optioned back down.

to triple. He actually just made it to Jupiter. He's past him to the moon. He's past the moon. I know. I know that you wanted to send him to the moon. Apparently, in your estimation, if you're on Blue Origin, he's gone past the moon. He's on his way to Jupiter, evidently.

But, I mean, is that a level of concern for you that they're not bringing up these guys to make a spot start and they're just going to piece it together with a bullpen game? I mean, luckily, the schedule helps them out. Having the off day today and an off day on Thursday does allow Dave to end this front office to kind of get a little creative with the bullpen game. You need a lot, though. You need a lot out of Dustin May and his Tuesday start. And, you know, I really hope with D. May, I love what we've seen from him so far.

He has been fantastic. You know, knock on desk. I don't ruin things here for saying it, but I hope the clock doesn't strike midnight as he gets to, you know, Chicago here for the start because he needs to go out there and let it eat for five, six, maybe even seven innings, knowing that so much is going to be expected out of your bullpen. in in uh, Chicago and they're down an arm. Of course, we see the awful update of this. Blake Trinan with the forearm.

And that is one of those, those, um, notes that just really makes your heart sink. I sent a text to our Dodgers territory thread as soon as this happened. And I hate, I hate when I see forearm strain or those types of things because to me, it means Tommy John.

I mean, when you see the forearms left forearm tightness or right forearm tightness, it's like, oh man, that's usually a precursor to what ends up being TJ surgery. Now it looks like Blake Trininin, according to what Dave Vassay, our friend is saying here, that Dave Roberts said the MRI is just a low-grade sprain, conservative rehab, and no surgery needed now. But what bothers me is that this club oftentimes, and they have the right to do so, they hold medical stuff very close to the vest. And what starts out as it's just a low-grade strain, no surgery needed now,

when I hear forearm tightness, I just worry. And Blake Trinnan, obviously, is a big piece of that Dodgers bullpen. He was one of the first off-season signings to come back. And I was so psyched about that. The good news here is if there is a silver lining on this, Clint, is I do believe when we discuss this as well, I believe we have way more closers than we have starting arms. So it's not as if, not to say that Blake Trinon is not valuable,

but you have Kirby Yates, you have Tanner Scott, you have Alex Vessia, you have Anthony Bondi, you have guys in that, Evan Phillips is coming back. You have guys in that bullpen kit, that carries back whatever you have guys in the bullpen that are you know nailing things down so i i do hope that in fact we did dodge a bullet and it's not it's not a big deal we also have an update too on okay so on on the blakes uh what's tell me your opinion on blake trinan and then we'll talk about blake i i worry and and you know people in the chat pointing out michael copac should

be rejoining this team soon enough as well we're probably maybe three or four weeks it seems like uh we're away from getting Kopeck back, hopefully a little bit sooner. He needs to face some hitters and then go out on a rehab assignment. But, yeah, when I hear the forearm, and it's a forearm sprain, I think it was, right? It was a sprain or strain? Let me look at that. Look at that again. Yeah.

So seeing that it's a sprain, that's a tear. That's something that is not ideal. And the way Blake trying to throws and all that. But also it comes down to the Dodgers make me scared. Like you're kind of alluding to a little bit there, outright. saying to a degree. The Dodgers, they protect their medical information, but they also, to their credit, I don't expect them to give everybody access to all of the medical information of each

of their players, but they lie. They lie. They are very creative with the words that they choose. Dave is a great politician when it comes to this, one of the things I love about him, you know, and his Daveisms. But I really do worry about Trinan and the fact that we hadn't seen him up to a week before that point and of course he starts picking up a ball and warming up during the uh the kirby yates loss on saturday um gave me a little bit of hope and then the next day we hear this forearm thing uh

i'm hoping the information that they have shared is accurate that they dodged a bullet that it's not the end of the world and that he can come back with some rest and recovery but we're talking about a sprain it could be a couple weeks you know it could be maybe even a month or two before we see Blake trying it trying it back, if not more. Luckily they they piled up on all those pitchers in the off season. I know you can never have too much pitching. Remember we were like, oh my God, we have so many arms now. I'm like, oh my goodness, what are we doing? No matter what kind of car you drive, two things are always true. All tires eventually need replacing and all vehicles need servicing.

That's not the case. He had an update with Bill Plunkett, and he said the pain lingers here and there

Once I get throwing, I'm good. When I play catch, I don't feel it. It's like when I wake up, I got to get going. Bill Plunkin, of course, covers the team for the Orange County Register. Yeah, he hasn't thrown off of a mound. He's going to throw another bullpen session. Timeline for facing hitters. It's still out there.

We don't know. Yeah. I thought I had the Snell. I can't find the Snell graphics. So you got the important parts out there. I mean, I'm okay with them. taking it cautiously with their high-priced investment from the off-season. Blake's not used to the Dodger wave, so for him to say,

I'll probably dismiss like a start and be fine. No, like slow your roll. You don't get to say that kind of stuff when you're wearing a Dodger uniform. Chances are it feels like we're closer to missing a month, you know, three, four starts or something like that, which, I mean, you can survive. You wish you can get a little bit more out of, like you said, the, squad, your Rebleskis, your Bobby Miller's. The next wave of dues, yeah, Landed Nack, who was better in his second start.

Still not great. But we're getting closer to seeing the next wave of the minor league guys. There's Nick Frasso who's around. I haven't looked at what his numbers, what he's done so far at AAA, but he's back from, you know, missing a season with a shoulder injury and surgery. Jackson Ferris is one of the top prospects, pitching prospects in baseball for a reason, he is disgusting, he's filthy, he's nasty, and he is somebody who could fill in some innings if needed,

if Snell needs to take more time. And of course, Tony Gonsland will be back probably next week. I think he'll be back on the homestand. And Clayton Kershaw, about a month away from returning. And Mitzchian, probably about a month and a half, two months away. Like we talked about last week, slowly the depth will continue to improve for this team, probably two and a half months for Shohay as well. but uh snell you know just just get it rested and recovered because i hate hearing that he's waking

up and feeling something you know i mean i wake up and feel something every day but i'm 100 years old and i could sneeze and like blow out my back so it's fine but let me ask you got the sammy sosa thing huh yeah yeah yeah well i'm still i'm still the same color i didn't i didn't change pigmentation um but it's it's it's totally fine i so wish that ferris and bueller were on the same team that That would have just been really, really cool. By the way, Walker Bueller, Walker Bueller through today for the Boston Red Sox, of course, on Marathon Monday, Patriot Day and shoved. So there you have it. Yeah.

People are really in the chat have been really, really missing hard, missing on your boy butane here in L.A. Because he's been great. It feels like he's been really good. I mean, he's been all right. He's been already. He has an ERA over five. It's not like he's, you know. He's showing up.

He's posting every five days. No, listen, I get it. I love Bueller. I get it. I love it. Hey, before we throw to Last Lakes, I want to go back and hit the super chat from our friend. Oh, what's that, Brandon? Brandon's saying, give us $2 super chat asking about Roki.

Does he seem to be better on road games? And inherently. Maybe there's not the pressure of being home. You know what I mean? I think that first start in L.A. kind of skewed some things, again, because of the nerves, the pressure in his home debut. But yeah, just keep on trending in the right direction, Roeck. But yeah, let's get to Last Licks because I know you got a fresh puppy to show us. Last Licks.

Before I get into this Pupper, I wanted to let you guys know that the couple of dogs that we have showcased before, Ruby and Bailey, both got adopted. Yay. And let me introduce you to a new pup also by the name of Ruby. This is a five-month-old. Look at how sweet she is. A five-month-old Dobby mix. Unfortunately, Ruby and her eight siblings were left in blistering heat in the high desert of California. And some have found fosters. Unfortunately, there's still a few out there in the high heat that we're trying to get out, but we can't do anything without fosters. She is super sweet.

She's five months old. She is vaccinated up to the point for her age. She's young, so she can't be fully vaccinated yet. We will take care of her spay. We will take care of all the vaccinations. but she's looking for an adopter great with other dogs. And obviously she's a puppy, so she's great with kids. So if you're interested in learning more about Ruby,

please hit me up on social. She's a sweet girl and her and her eight siblings need homes. So there's always always dog goes looking for homes. I like the big old floppy paws there. Look at those paws, guys. You can get those paws. She's going to grow into be a big girl, but dobies are cute, super, super cute.

She'll be lanky and thin, you know, they're fit. Dobermans are fit dogs. So yeah, so hit me up if you're interested in learning more about Ruby. Absolutely, guys. And before we get out of here, before we talk also about what I got going on to my show tonight, we got to talk about this, the whole Brent Honeywell thing, because I loved every second of Brent Honeywell coming and meeting the Dodgers in Texas there at Globe Life Field.

And getting his ring, getting his jersey, getting a chance to address the team and all this. Of course, Freddie Freeman given him a lot of love and respect for what he did for the team during that NLCS outing against the, against the Mets. But yeah, really, really cool, very deserving. Also, how does this guy not have a job, though? That's a good question. I know. That's the thing for me. And I actually reached out to Brent and I said, hey, can you come on our show today?

Because you were such a huge part of what the Dodgers were doing last year, you know, obviously in the bullpen and everything. And unfortunately, he's still trying to get a job. So his workout time is the time of our show. so he's working out right now, but he is going to join us at some point. And I am very, very grateful for him to even get back to me. I mean, a lot of people don't even get back to me. So I do appreciate that. And I hope, yeah, I know, we're partners.

I hope that he does a good job because I think this kid has a special story. And obviously, you heard what, you know, foul territory friend Max Muncie said about him. Like they don't win game, you know, they don't win game four without him. They don't get to game, you know, you know what it does. Yeah, I mean, you look at them by the numbers. You know, the numbers weren't always sexy, but you need. to have that kind of dude. There's somebody that just like a like camp talking about Matt Camp

come on talking about Kike Hernandez. Kike doesn't always have the best numbers, but there's something that changes when you bring a certain energy, a certain vibe into the clubhouse. And my God, turtleneck and chain, he was a vibe. He is a vibe.

And it feels like there's room at AAA. Like, uh, yeah, come on. Yeah. Give the man a job anyways. I know it.

Before we find out what's coming up on all Dodgers. with Clint Paseas. For Cedar 777, the answer to your question, he's asking where he could send Corey Seeger a picture. Send it to Texas Rangers Clubhouse. Just put Corey Seeger's name on it. He'll get it. Does Corey like that? No, he won't.

No, he won't, he won't respond, but he'll get it. I don't know. What is the picture? Is it a picture? No, it's a picture of Corey. No, it's not just a random picture. It's a picture of some kids wearing Corey Seeger's. Set him a picture of me.
