00:03 - Dodgers now have passed everybody in the West,
00:06 in the NL, and they're never gonna look back, right?
00:08 I mean, they had that little two month period
00:11 where the Diamondbacks were kinda messing around with them.
00:14 They had the lead for a little bit,
00:15 and now the Dodgers have blown by everybody.
00:18 And now it's just, they're just looking towards
00:20 the playoffs and the Braves.
00:21 That's what the Dodgers are looking at now.
00:23 - And this is crazy, 'cause this was not supposed to be
00:25 their season to do this.
00:26 They were, going back to what we just talked about,
00:30 they didn't make any moves.
00:31 Why?
00:32 'Cause they're backing up the Brink truck for Shohei Otani.
00:34 I mean, they really believe that they also have
00:36 a very good chance to sign him.
00:38 My view, but by the way, is Otani is not gonna leave
00:41 the West Coast.
00:42 He's either gonna stay where he is, go to the Dodgers,
00:45 go to the Giants, maybe Seattle.
00:47 Now, what do the Dodgers do though?
00:50 I mean, they really do have a chance with Mookie Betts
00:53 having an amazing season, Freddie Freeman
00:55 having an amazing season,
00:56 Jadie Martinez coming out of nowhere, playing well.
00:59 You're 100% right.
01:01 This team is kind of back to where they once were,
01:03 winning the division, going into the playoffs.
01:07 My view is they're not gonna win the whole thing.
01:10 But again, this, the success that they've had this year,
01:12 in my view, came out of nowhere.
01:15 Just because they did not think that this was a team
01:19 that was gonna win the division.
01:20 And my goodness, what the heck happened
01:22 to the San Diego Padres?
01:24 They thought this was their moment.
01:27 Unbelievable with the Padres,
01:30 who are still five games under, 500,
01:33 as we're about to turn the calendar to August.
01:35 I mean, they really have some decisions
01:38 that they need to make by Monday as well,
01:42 with potential guys who could walk away from them
01:44 at the end of the year, Josh Hader, Blake Snell, et cetera.
01:47 So the Padres have to figure all of that stuff out.
