00:00Yeah, look, you don't need me to tell you everybody that show you how Tony's good, but
00:08the last two weeks he's been really exceptional.
00:11Five homers, 11 RBI, nine run score hitting 400 over that span with a 1337 OPS.
00:16Look at that slugging over 800.
00:19I mean, he's hitting for power.
00:20He's been tremendous.
00:21It was an interesting question to ask at the beginning of the year with Otani not pitching.
00:26What's a full-time hitter Otani look like where he doesn't have to worry about, you
00:29know, every fifth day or worry about, you know, looking at the lineup, he's got a face,
00:34you know, when he's a pitcher mentally, I think that kind of takes you out a little
00:37bit.
00:38I think a lot of people are wondering, okay, are the Dodgers going to get the full investment
00:40out of Otani?
00:41Well, you're not the full investment yet because he isn't pitching, but you can't be mad at
00:46what they're getting out of him so far, just as a hitter.
00:47I mean, he has been MVP level and that's exactly the guy that, yeah, you sign, you paid the
00:51big money for, and he's been everything that you've asked for is advertised.
00:54And you mentioned Luis Robert, just to touch on that real quick, if I'm the Mariners, we
00:59just talked in that last segment about Polanco has not been the help in that lineup.
01:02There's no lineup protection for Julio Rodriguez right now, just none.
01:06Go be aggressive, go early to the market, go get Luis Robert.
01:10That would be a perfect guy, in my opinion, to hit right behind Julio Rodriguez.
01:16And now all of a sudden, you've got a very formidable lineup to match that very formidable
01:20rotation.
01:21To me, that would be the perfect quintessential guy to get out there in Seattle.
