00:00You know, they haven't won a game cap since they ended up making that trade.
00:03What's up with the Dodgers, man?
00:05Break them up, man.
00:06I need to make some moves.
00:08Andrew Friedman's a bum.
00:09What happened to the Dodgers?
00:13I'm for it, all right?
00:14They're trying to pull something over.
00:15Look, I'm not one of those conspiracy theorist people or anything.
00:18I know there are a few bad apples out there, but I know as a whole, you know,
00:22the conspiracies that people get into aren't there.
00:24So I'm joking when I say they're doing it on purpose.
00:27But, boy, it sure seems like it doesn't.
00:28It seems like the whole conversation, you know, of shutting down MLB next year
00:32and this, that, and the other was really surrounding Scoogle going to the Dodgers.
00:36Then he goes to the Dodgers, and now they can't win a baseball game.
00:39I mean, it's funny, fun, maybe, if you're not a Dodgers fan to watch,
00:45but I'm not concerned.
00:46Even if I am a Dodgers fan, I'm not pressing the panic button.
00:49On Tuesday, you've got Blake Snell coming back in the rotation,
00:52or maybe it was Monday.
00:53No, Scoogle's on Monday.
00:56Okay, so Blake Snell's back on Tuesday.
00:58You've got Scoogle on the mound Monday at home for his first home start.
01:02And, you know, yeah, even though they're on that losing streak,
01:04he went six innings and gave up two runs in his first start.
01:06He did Scoogle things in Scoogle's first start.
01:08The Dodgers are fine.
01:10There is no panic button that needs to be pressed right now.
01:13Man, they just got a great roster.
01:15So, I'll ask you, Cab, do you think what the Dodgers have done,
01:19do you believe they're good for baseball?
01:21And where I'll go here with this, when I say, are they good for baseball?
01:25You know, the Yankees have been buying players since the 20s,
01:29when they bought Ruth.
01:30I mean, Reggie Jackson, all the players when Steinbrenner was alive,
01:33all the guys he bought there, they've been doing this for, like, generations.
01:37And all of a sudden, now the Dodgers, is this just more about,
01:40hey, don't hate the player, hate the game.
01:42This is more about the structure of the league, more than about the Dodgers.
01:45Or am I wrong?
01:49I can take both sides.
01:50I can take both sides in this argument.
01:52I don't know if I know the correct answer.
01:54If I'm the Dodgers, I mean, what are we mad about?
01:58They're using what they have at their ability to make the best team that they can make.
02:03Yeah, they're spending a bunch of money doing it, but they're not breaking any rules doing it, right?
02:06So you can't really hate the Dodgers, because like you said, that's the game.
02:10They're playing the game.
02:11Then you got, you know, you touched on the Yankees.
02:13At least they've got a good record.
02:15How about the Mets?
02:16How about a team like the Mets that's out there breaking the bank?
02:20I think they're the third highest payroll in baseball.
02:22I need to double-check that.
02:23But, I mean, they're not even 500 baseball team, right?
02:26They're, what, 11 games under 500, 16 games under 500?
02:29I have to look at it.
02:30But I don't think, what's happening here is so interesting, because it's the first time where you might have the
02:38fans on the side of the owners, right?
02:42Because you've got some fans that are not Dodgers fans, that are anti-Dodgers, that are saying, yeah, the Dodgers
02:46are too big of a powerhouse.
02:47Any other time there's been a shutdown or anything like this, you know, we side with the players.
02:52It'll be interesting to see where people side on this one.
02:54And I say the Dodgers, somebody needs to beat them this year.
02:59If they don't win the World Series, I think we can drop the conversation and keep playing baseball a little
03:03longer.
03:03But if they win the World Series, there needs to be a conversation that has to be had.
03:06So it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
