00:00Growing baseball internationally is great for the hardcore baseball fan like myself

00:05Waking up starting with like the second or third inning is pretty cool to see games going on that really count

00:11But in the end it really wasn't much of a matchup between the Dodgers and Cubs in this one

00:16I think major league baseball picked the right teams to go they picked the right players to go the right players were showcased in

00:22this game, but I

00:24Got to tell you the Dodgers just really look like they're a lot better than the Cubs

00:29Yeah, yeah, I mean the Dodgers are a lot better than most teams in the league right now and and I mean

00:34They're just just a wagon

00:35That's what we learned in this series was the Dodgers are I mean it might sound hyperbole to say especially you know first games

00:43Of the season, but I think we're reaching the point where the Dodgers could be

00:4890s Yankees

00:50status of

00:51Dynasty if you will where they could be dominating this league for a long time

00:55They are just so good and you saw in this series they could do it with pitching they can do it with hitting pitching was

01:01The first game hitting was the second game. We saw show. Hey explode in both games

01:05It's just it's not fair right now. And and we could get a lot of this throughout this season. That's for sure

01:12All right. So what was the most impressive performance from you today as the Dodgers get to sweep?

01:17Do you think Kyle it was show?

01:20Ohtani who basically shows up for every big moment that he's asked to in baseball or was it the debut of

01:27Roki Sasaki who everyone is glowing over this morning, but statistically he did walk five batters

01:33So, I mean we do tend to see this by the way Kyle when players come from overseas

01:37They do, you know walk guys at least initially we saw with Senga. We saw with dice K

01:41I think we're seeking it here now with the sake to

01:45Yeah, there's actually a long history of Japanese players taking a little while to

01:50adjust not just the first time they joined the league but just throughout spring training in general and because this series was a

01:57Week early you can still kind of consider it in that realm

02:01They often just take a little bit longer to get going through spring training. It's not anything weird

02:07So I think you'll see him settle down pretty quickly, but it's got to be show

02:10hey, I mean, you know, like you said every time he shows up, it's it's a show and

02:16It's fun to watch. It's impressive. It's

02:20an all-time great

02:22You know thing that we're watching here

02:25In his career and it's just hard not to sit back and on and enjoy it
