I guess we should start off talking a little Dodgers baseball.

That seems like the obvious line of questioning to begin with.

So looking for a three-peat.

Yeah, I think this team is more than capable of three-peating.

I really thought, you know, heading into last postseason, the Dodgers did not win the division.

They were a wild-card team.

They had a little bit of flaws.

Now, they had excellent starting pitching.

The bullpen really was kind of in bad shape heading into the postseason.

Roki Suzuki, a starter, a rookie starter.

comes out of nowhere and is now the closer for the Dodgers.

Now, we didn't know going in how he was going to kind of take that role.

He took to it and dominated in the postseason, kind of gave us a breath of life for the relievers.

Guy stepped up.

The Dodgers really didn't play all that well, in my opinion.

They would say, especially swinging the bat.

I think they hit like 203 in the World Series.

So looking back on it, As a baseball player, that was the time to get the Dodgers.

I really thought the Phillies should have won that series.

And then going to the NLCS, Dodgers played pretty good baseball.

The Brewers did not.

They advance and go to the World Series.

Toronto Blue Jays, I thought, were the better team.

team as far as playing wise the way they swung the bat bat the ball skills and really good pitching so they had kind of the edge going in dodgers found a way to win i think that championship medal really kind of helped them in game six and seven to get over a tough environment and they found a winner win a championship and i thought you know after that year man i thought they should have really gotten got But then you fast forward to this year, I think they're better equipped.

Starting rotation, the bullpen arms, along with guys they've added to this team, I think they're better equipped heading into the postseason this year.
