00:00But let's switch over to the National League here and talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers.
00:04Joe, you've often said the Dodgers are built for 162 and not seven. The addition of Jack
00:08Flaherty and a few other bats for depth, are they now built for seven?
00:13They might be better now built for seven. Jack Flaherty, great start yesterday. Again,
00:18it was against the A's, so you better be good. They also added some good infield,
00:23outfield depth to guys like Tommy Edmund, guys like Ahmed Rosario. When you have versatility,
00:27that helps. And I think that's something the Dodgers have been lacking a little bit at times
00:31this year. We always said there's kind of like a stars and scrubs lineup a little bit. No offense
00:35to some of the guys playing, but it did feel like a very top-heavy order and a top-heavy team.
00:40And they got exposed a little bit, I think, when it came to the depth of this roster.
00:44Now, with the additions they've made, they've given themselves versatility
00:48and a little bit more help if another injury should strike at some point in the next two
00:52months. We still got a lot of baseball left to play. So the Dodgers did very well. Flaherty
00:56was a really good move for them. I really like what they did. Bring the kid back home to
01:00where he's from. He's very excited. I saw the little picture of him as a lad in his little
01:04Dodger onesie or whatever it was. Obviously, this is kind of like one of those dream come true kind
01:08of things, right, for his family and for Jack Flaherty. So good on him. Flaherty, glass now,
01:13yes. Do you get Yamamoto back healthy? That's a question. Kershaw has not looked good. Walker
01:19Bueller, huge question mark. Bobby Miller, who knows? So yeah, I think this Dodger rotation
01:25still has more questions than answers, but Flaherty certainly goes a long way. Now what
01:30you're playing is the game of, I just need one more of those guys to get right. Whoever it is,
01:35it doesn't matter. Just one more, because Flaherty and glass now is good enough of that one-two punch
01:39theoretically going into the playoffs.
