00:02 I feel differently about the Dodgers and Diamondbacks because again, if, and
00:06 by the way, the Dodgers are pretty big favorites tonight.
00:09 But if Zach Gallen, who clearly hasn't been as good on the road as he is at home,
00:14 even if he was able to pull this off tonight, they go back to Arizona.
00:17 And then you ask yourself the question, who's starting for the Diamondbacks?
00:20 We know the Dodgers really don't have a lot of starters cuz they're hurt too.
00:23 But LA is a big favorite tonight.
00:26 I don't know.
00:27 I think this series in particular, Ryan,
00:30 something tells me this is going to distance in this one.
00:33 I don't think this is over by a long shot.
00:35 >> Yeah, it's different.
00:38 I think the Diamondbacks really are kind of playing.
00:40 Look, there was a time this year when the Diamondbacks had control of that number,
00:43 of that top wild card spot.
00:44 They were playing good baseball, and then they went through the big,
00:47 the big long slump that knocked them, what, were they four or
00:49 five games out of the third spot?
00:51 The way that that team rallied to get back into playoff position really was
00:55 impressive to me.
00:56 And that lineup when you could tell Marte is hitting and Corbin Carroll,
01:00 I think we're really seeing the type of player that the star that he is as a rookie.
01:05 He's gonna run away with a National League Rookie of the Year, but
01:07 he's the catalyst, right?
01:09 He's the stolen base guy.
01:10 He's got so much speed.
01:12 He makes good contact.
01:13 And we've seen the power in the postseason already with a couple of home runs.
01:17 He's the type of guy that a lineup can feed off of.
01:21 And the starting pitching, it's gonna be interesting, right?
01:24 Because as you mentioned, the Diamondbacks have Kelly and Gallin, and
01:27 then the Dodgers had Clayton Kershaw, and then Kershaw didn't exactly do anything.
01:33 So we'll see, the Dodgers have a lot of good arms.
01:36 They've got a lot of potential, and Bobby Miller could come out and
01:38 throw a great game.
01:40 They've got that type of potential.
01:42 They don't have much experience.
01:43 I think if you were asking a Dodgers fan, what's the worst case scenario?
01:48 It's you go into the postseason with a rotation that's not healthy,
01:51 that has a lot of question marks, and then Kershaw gets blown up.
01:54 That is absolutely the worst case scenario.
01:57 It's still a good team, right?
01:58 It absolutely could go five games.
02:00 That lineup is tough.
02:01 It's gonna be hard for anyone other, I mean, it's gonna be hard for
02:04 Zach Gallin to navigate this in the second time.
02:06 But any of the other Diamondbacks pitchers, it's gonna be a challenge.
02:10 But yeah, this is pretty much a worst case scenario setting up for
02:15 the Dodgers and their fans right now.
