00:00Let's get it over here to the Dodgers and what they did.
00:02You know, we were talking with Bob Nightingale yesterday,
00:04and Skubal's a Dodger.
00:07I mean, you look at that rotation, Yamamoto, Otani, I mean,
00:11Glasnow also, I mean, man, the rich just keep getting richer.
00:14Your takeaway here with Skubal going to the Dodgers?
00:17Look, it's a monumental move for them.
00:21And what I've always said about the Dodgers,
00:24and I'll say the same thing,
00:25they're playing within the rules that they are given.
00:27We need to stop complaining about that point of view.
00:30Of course, I have a much bigger view on baseball as itself,
00:32but from their point of view,
00:34they're only dealing with the cards that they're dealt, Dan,
00:36so they should be doubling down and tripling down and hitting on 16.
00:41You know, like, they should be doing these things.
00:43That's number one.
00:44Number two, Dan, it does not guarantee a World Series.
00:47We saw that last year.
00:49They came very close in a couple of different plays
00:51to losing the World Series to the Toronto Blue Jays.
00:55What it guarantees, Dan, for the Dodgers is, of course,
00:58I'm getting to the playoffs,
01:00probably getting through the first round pretty easily,
01:02but it does not guarantee a ring.
01:04So that's what I would say about that.
01:07Their pitching staff, very formidable.
01:09They can now wait on Will Smith till the end of the year,
01:11bring him back whenever.
01:12They can wait on Blake Snell.
01:14Hey, Blake, just get back in September.
01:15We'll slide you into SP4 and the rotation in the NLDS
01:18or something like that.
01:20I know a lot of people are upset.
01:21I'm usually pragmatic about this sort of stuff,
01:24but I want to remind folks that Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Boston,
01:29you don't know in a Game 7 situation
01:32when it's going to come down to the last play of the game.
01:34And at that point, it doesn't matter who the Dodgers have.
01:37It matters.
01:37Can a guy make a play?
01:38Last year, the Dodgers did to win it.
