Kudos for getting Andy back on the channel! I don't understand the negativity in the comments, because Andy's work is top-tier.
I’m with you!
This guys gum chewing or lip smacking makes this episode borderline unbearable
The throat cheese he refuses to clear out doesn’t help either.
OCD much?
Mookie Bets home run against the Padres in the first inning of game 4 was iconic I thought
What? lol
Mookie gave us a MVP caliber playoff performance
I think he was good but not MVP. He didn’t real have any major impactful clutch game changing moments like Teo, Freddie, Blake, Ohtani, except the Sac fly. Just imo.
@@rubucka21 the post was about Mookies moment against the Padres he also had big moments against the Mets his playoff stats was BA .290 HR 4 RBI 16 OPS .952 SB 2
I was talking about Mookie gave a MVP caliber performance for the entirety of the 16 playoff games he played...
The dodgers are in a great position. They have options and possibilities. Resigning teoscar would be nice. Signing sasaki is a no brainer.
"Everyone in this ballpark wants to walk into traffic". That's fitting since the Dodgers were named after exactly that, trolley dodging aka jay-walking.
If Sasaki is posted (a BIG if), he will most likely to come to the Dodgers. There are several reasons for this, but nothing is perhaps as big as the fact that they are the only team that will be certain to put him in a 6 man rotation, which Sasaki is most comfortable with right now. Dodgers can do this, partly because Ohtani is listed as a two-way player, so that carrying an extra SP is not a burden for their bullpen. Other reasons include his camaraderies with Ohtani and Yamamoto, the NHK broadcasting mostly only Dodger games in foreseeable future, and LA being an easy place for Japanese to live in.
Not for the first 20-40 games (I forgot how many are set in the rules) since Ohtani didn't pitch in 2024, he lost that
I tuned out after he said he had the Padres in the world series but his playoff predictions weren't "too far off". Your world series pick didn't even make it out of the DS 😂
@@kingofpecan6999 forgot the Astros were even in the playoffs. 😂
Yes, Roberts should have punted game 3 of the 2017 World Series once we got down because there were two games left. I remember him using all the leverage guys leading to a game 5 collapse. I don’t know how much it had to do with sign stealing or fatigue in that game 5 where every reliever blew it.
Roberts got a better rotation in 2024 because he got a better start from Buehler in game 3 than Darvish in game 3 in 2017. The Dodgers also faced an easier team in 2024 than in 2017. Schmidt was easier to hit in game 3 than McCullers in 2017.
What Roberts did in game 3 in 2017 would have been okay, but the Dodgers couldn’t hit that guy in both games 3 and 7.
Padres and Astros in WS seems like a pretty off prediction to me 😂
I thought he said Padres and Astros.
@@randallmarsh1187 thanks for catching that 😂
@@ren1818ren Yea the Astros was pretty much just wishful thinking (?), but the Padres were the second best team in MLB so that wasn't too much of a stretch.
@@randallmarsh1187 very true but to go against the family, why make that prediction. 😅
@ so happy the Astros looked so bad though.
If you are going for unlikable you should get Dylan Hernandez next.
Actually, I'd love to see Jeff interview Dylan, because Dylan has unique insights into Shohei and Yoshi due to his fluency in Japanese and understanding of baseball in Japan. Also, "The Dodgers Debate" videos during the playoffs on the LA Times RUclips channel showed me the hilarious side of Dylan. It's hard to believe the entertaining Dylan in the videos is the same grumpy Dylan who writes for the LA Times.

Sasaki doesn't have the physical pitch for one season.🌫️
There must be some problem.🌧️⛈️☔
That's a very high risk of injury.❌️

Major League Baseball is American baseball.🇺🇸
Dodgers should give the chance to the pitchers who have worked hard in the current 3A and 2A.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

If you move Mookie to 2nd, who plays right field?
Juan Soto...
Teo in right and Rushing in LF
Why dont dodgers have a high level rock the clock closer , are those days over or what
It seems like the Dodgers yet again has revolutionized the game and they made a system of having a stable of high leverage pitchers that will close games upon the type of pitcher needed at that time....
2:50 one of the weaker teams they have put out? I disagree
It's just a fact. Over the past 4 years this team had the lowest win total
@@alexgrant8165 they added a guy coming off an MVP and is going to win it again when it's announced.
They added Glasnow, Teoscar, and Yoshi. They insanely stacked. They were just injured all year.
@ sure if that’s what you want to base how strong or weak a team is. In my opinion Win-loss records can be an overrated way to judge a team.
Yeah they gonna trade lux
They will try but Lux does not have a ton of value. He might just be a depth piece next year. Might even try him at SS again with a fully healed knee might be good enough.
"Gavin Lux is a good player" lol
So he's a bad player??
@edomarpez1840 he's barely borderline not platoon at this point
@@modder15 Exactly. Even if he was one, that doesn't make him a not good player.
Even with his months long struggle he ended with a positive WAR.
Good trade bait since Mookie is going to 2nd base to free up right field for Soto.
That's the plan. It isn't Teo for Soto. It's Lux for Soto.
I guaranteed Yamamoto and wasn't surprised.
I should be interviewed.
Here is my take on Soto.
The Dodgers barely won. Padres had historic choke.
Then only a walk off grand slam and historic bad inning otherwise it's 3-2 Yankees.
Did you forget last season, the season before. The complaining this year.
Soto is Ted Williams (Great and bad) his fWAR is insane for someone not yet in his prime.
He goes to right. Betts to second and Lux traded.
Soto is replacing Lux in the lineup.
You keep him away from Mets Padres or Yankees.
You do not want to face him in the post season.
He gives the Dodgers 4 hall of famers and if they dominate for 10 years the Dodgers organization doubles in value from 5 billion to 10 billion (the real reason the owners sign players and want to win).
If he was a bad teammate or caused bad team chemistry you think the Yankees would be offering 600 million?
Can the Dodgers afford him. Yup it's 600 million over 14 years. It is totally different yearly than Ohtani.
In 5 years when bunch of players are averaging 50 million a year Soto will be a bargain.
Not sure they will get him but that are really trying to.
So, Andy, go for Soto just because??.... what's the point? there's clearly no need for him, are we just chasing names now?
I'm not a huge Soto fan but if you have a chance to sign a guy like this you go for it.
Ohtani, Betts, Soto, Freddie at your top 4 is arguably the best in MLB history
@@dufftime I enjoy a lot watching him play, however I do think the team will be better if they solve their real needs and baseball will be better with him in another team.

The arrogance of this guy. Insufferable.
Mission accomplished
I disagree. Andy’s a good listen for me
Yeah, he’s like many writers. Trying extra hard to seem aloof, with zero sincerity or relatability. That’s why I never bother reading them. But Dodger Blue podcast is always worth a listen. Jeff is the best Dodgers podcast host on RUclips in my opinion. He deserves a national platform.
@@pandemic7 totally agree, Jeff is on point all the time and has his pulse on the Dodgers
@@pandemic7 I thought it was just me. I like Jeff and this channel, but Andy....? He starts talking and my mind starts wandering....LOL
No Soto for dodgers. Keep mookie in RF. Dodgers need Center fielder.
Edman, Rojas can cover short stop. Edman is gold glover in 2nd. Even Muncy vcan plau 2nd.
Mookie will not be the RF, the already said so
WTF he's great at 2B. Pages will be RF, Edman in center.

@@laartwork Your Ted Williams didn't make a difference for the Padres or the Yankees. Dodgers already won without him.
I don't have anything against him and really enjoy watching him play but not with the Dodgers, he's not really needed so that's only name chasing

Need a 3rd baseman ,muncy was good in the past but his best days are over my friend ,just being realistic .in the World Series he never shined in the moments , and there were many for max.
I'm not sure about that?
I think I remember him breaking a record that he got on base the most consecutive times in a playoffs before the World Series...
@ you need too listen I’m talking World Series only ,he was horrible ,before that solid card ,playoffs I totally agree hit pretty solid .
@@fracman55 So you say his best days are over based only in the WS??....wow
this guy didn’t tune into the NLCS, i guess
@@edomarpez1840 fr 😂 the man has one bad series and all of a sudden he’s cooked
Mookie was terrible at Short Stop and somehow he gonna be good at 2nd base???
He has already played at 2B
@edomarpez1840 he good where he's at
@@coreysanders6197 And he's also good at 2B. They're moving him to extend his health
Explain how this makes sense when SS is a more strenuous position than 2B? It’s not the other way around where he’s going from a “easier” position to one of the more difficult ones
@edomarpez1840 ok
Trevor Bauer is their own fault. He didnt do it and you let him go for optics so they deserve that.
Quit beating that dead horse, he did it to himself and will never play for the Dodgers again and likely the same with the MLB...............as it should be!
Yes I agree they deserved the World Series this year for letting him go glad we’re on the same page 🫡
Bauer had a lot more accusers than that one. Plus he was considered a cancer in the clubhouse.
