00:00But they do have Scooble on the mound tonight.
00:02But at $3, I'm not running to the window to back him either.
00:06And it's not like he's been shut down with them either.
00:09Has he been, Craig?
00:11No.
00:12And the Dodgers have a minus 17 run differential since July 1st.
00:17I mean, think about that.
00:18That's a poor team in baseball.
00:20But that's sort of where they are.
00:23It's the second time that Otani has been off since July.
00:26So this is his second game off in like a month and a week.
00:31I kind of feel like tonight, if it's not a get-right spot for L.A.,
00:35there never will be.
00:36How in the world are the Cardinals able to go to L.A.
00:38and beat this team like they have?
00:40And Quinn Matthews starts tonight.
00:41His ERA is over 5.
00:44I saw close to minus 300s, I think I saw today for this game.
00:48Look, I'm not going to get involved in this one.
00:50But I certainly cannot imagine runs being scored in this game tonight.
00:56Dodgers always do well against right-handed pitching.
00:59Cardinals, really, their offense.
01:02It's actually still been good without Weatherholt,
01:04but I'm going to go under tonight in another one of these late-night games.
01:09I mean, what has gotten into the Cardinals here all of a sudden?
01:12Like, what am I missing here?
01:14That has just been absolutely bonkers.
01:17I did not see – listen, Lauer – beating up Lauer is one thing,
01:22but, I mean, I did not see that happening here.
01:26Are you convinced the Dodgers' bullpen, too,
01:28is good enough to be able to make a run here?
01:31I'm not sure that I am here, Craig.
01:34I really not.
01:35You know, Evan Phillips came back.
01:38He hasn't been good.
01:39Yep.
01:39We obviously know – we obviously know Edwin Diaz has not been good,
01:44and they're using him in non-save situations.
01:47You know, Tanner Scott, to me, is the one guy that probably can close out games.
01:51But the other thing that they could do, Joe,
01:53is bring back Sasaki as a closer or use Robleski at some point as a late-inning guy.
01:59So, I wouldn't look at now the Dodgers' bullpen and worry.
02:04I'd worry more in the postseason if those guys are not available for them
02:08because I think they'll just take some of their starters and use them in the pen.
02:12Yeah, I think it's worth keeping an eye out.
02:14That's for sure.
02:15It could be a whole lot of starters by committee in the bullpen for the Dodgers.
