00:00he by the way with tony looks so off man he looks so off he really does he really does
00:05he
00:05looks rigid he looks stiff he it just it's not good uh and he looks like he's behind the ball
00:13too like he's just a half a second late i that injury must have been bigger both to the knee
00:19and the shoulder than we initially thought uh because he certainly wasn't going to sniff
00:24pitching again uh and could be a pretty important offseason for him too as well he's got to get
00:30healed and then my question is he's not getting any younger so how much more is this whole pitching
00:35hitting thing gonna work here uh do you think yeah it felt like he forced the issue to pitch this
00:41season and and wanted to chase down a cy young and and and not that it was a mistake i
00:47think that
00:47you know you you got to honor a guy that's won two mvps in a row or three in a
00:51row whatever it's been
00:52but i think it's a fair question to ask joe i think it's a fair question to ask and you
00:56know
00:57it's not like you could just put him in the bullpen that's not possible too because then you'd have to
01:00be removed from hitting in the game so uh i would guess he continues to pitch but it is fair
01:07to wonder
01:07how much longer this could go on the question that i'm going to have in the offseason is what piece
01:11of
01:12his leg is really hurt there's got to be some lower half issue with him that needs some sort of
01:18cleanup it's got to be i mean it's just i know he stole a base also 154 since august 18th
01:25since
01:25august 18th 154 he's hitting and that was the last time he had a home run there's something
01:32i mean it's not is it leg related or shoulder related do you think maybe both yeah because he's not
01:41even close uh it's not even close right now with what's going on with him but let me ask you
01:46this if
01:46you were a time play once every five days or does it make sense or is he just going to
01:53be a dh
01:54what would you what would you rather him be i mean i look i i think the pitching is the
01:59thing that's
01:59probably going to go away i would guess go away because of okay right i mean the only thing is
02:05is you don't have scoobal next year so you're back kind of where you were again we also don't know
02:11what free agency is going to look like we have no clue will the dodgers be involved in free agency
02:15will they bring scoobal back uh and if not yeah they they still have that kid justin robleski who
02:21pitched really well for them that you're not seeing it all now la always seems to find guys
02:25they they'll maybe sasaki goes back into the rotation anything goes well but he is a scoobal-esque
02:34guy right i mean oh his numbers were out of control pitching but we've never we're never going to get
02:41to see just a pitcher or just a hitter right and i this year we saw all right well we
02:47had him hitting
02:48and he was doing what then the pitching started to wear down the when he pitched the hitting was worse
02:53like it was the first time we started to see that so i you know it's i think we're getting
02:59to that
03:00point with him where you got to figure it out dodgers is he a pitcher or is he a hitter
03:04i i think he
03:05should be a hitter for as long as humanly possible i i you know go that's it because having him
03:12hit
03:13154 right now is not doing did it really matter that he did he need to pitch this year in
03:19order to
03:19get to this point in the season i would argue that they didn't need him to do that no they
03:25wanted him
03:25he will he wanted to pitch and and he wanted to try and win a cy young and it looked
03:30like he was on
03:31pace for it look at his pitching numbers as good as any pitcher in baseball like the best yep but
03:38too much wear and tear obviously doomed him and it is a fair question it's a fair question to wonder
03:43if he can continue yes
03:44you
03:44you
