00:00Hey, this roster and this lineup of the Dodgers is one of the greatest lineups I've ever seen.
00:06The 75 big red machine or what you're seeing right now with what Andrew Friedman has put together.
00:12What was more of a dynamic lineup that red 75 team or what you're seeing right now with the Dodgers?
00:21Well, you know, the Reds had the Hall of Famers, but they didn't have the guys in the middle of
00:26the diamond starting games for them.
00:28You know, the starting pitching for this Dodger team and the depth of pitching, how they go down, you know,
00:3612, 15 deep and the starting on starting pitchers.
00:41And it seems like they all throw about 88 to 105 miles an hour.
00:47And, you know, they're really exceptional.
00:50And on the field, you know, they play their positions and hit the ball.
00:54Oh, well, the Reds had those, you know, Hall of Famers on on offense.
00:59No doubt about that. But the Dodgers are a complete team.
01:03And now with Diaz at the end of the game, Angels are going over to play them today in Scottsdale
01:10in spring training.
01:10And I'll be doing the color and color analysis for radio or TV or whatever the hell I'm doing today.
01:18But they're they're different. They're they're different to watch. That's for sure.
01:23All right. Well, give me and get a little bit of a preview then of the Angels.
01:27Tell me how good you think they'll be. Mike Trout get back to being Mike Trout.
01:32You know, maybe there's a lot of that in the Angel camp.
01:36You know, when you talk about the depth that the Dodgers have, the lack of depth is what the Angels
01:42have in so many other teams, too.
01:44If the good players stay healthy, if the good players have the year that you you hope that they have
01:49somewhere near the top of their their baseball card.
01:53I think the Angels could be a very good team. But, you know, one hundred and sixty two two games
01:59and good health and and excellent play.
02:02It's tough to ask from entire roster. It's happened in the past.
02:07And with the Angels, everyone's hoping it could happen again here in the present in the future.
02:13You know, our friend Dave Roberts, I'd like to get your takeaway, Bobby, on him and what he's done as
02:19the manager of the Dodgers.
02:20I mean, you know, here was a guy that was passed over by the Padres.
02:24They didn't even really interview the guy and they had him there when he was with Bud Black on the
02:29bench there.
02:30How do you think he's done? I mean, there's been such great managers there.
02:34Tommy Lasorda, obviously, Walter Alston.
02:36Where do you put him in that category when you're talking, you know, you're looking at what he's done there
02:43as the manager of the Dodgers?
02:45I love Dave Roberts. I think he does a spectacular job in a very different environment.
02:51It's it's different now than it was when Tommy and Walt were managing.
02:55It's different now than it was when I was managing.
02:58And and he's navigated the new landscape as well as well as anybody in baseball with a great talent, a
03:05great roster of players.
03:08There's no doubt about that. But, you know, other managers have had great players and haven't had the same result.
03:14And the crazy thing of the whole Dave Roberts story is if that game seven doesn't turn out in the
03:21Dodgers favor,
03:22there would be guys calling for his head after the last last year's World Series.
03:28And so the you know, the the ebbs and tides and the the the way everyone, you know, cherishes a
03:38win and hates a loss.
03:40He's dodged the bullet really well.
