We like to do this about once a month.
It is time to release the latest power rankings, according to CC, and the one rule that you made from day one, the first podcast we did, is go, "You write it in ink, it's the Dodgers number one from now until the end of the season."
We are doing that again.
Yes.
It's getting a little dicey.
They did have a losing streak.
Are you still as confident that the Dodgers should be where we have them right now?
Yeah, absolutely, and I, and I feel like the last two years, you know, they've, they've, they're coming off back to back championships.
I feel like the last two years in, you know, September and August, they've had these lulls where, you know, people are like, "Oh, are they gonna be able to do it?
Are they the best team?"
And, you know, I, I'm You know, the wild card, they had to play the wild card last year, and, you know, everybody's talking about Cincinnati and, you know, if they can get them in a short series and all these different things.
But when that team is healthy and they're firing on all cylinders and they're playing baseball the way that they play Dodger baseball, there's, there's no team th- that's constructed right now in the big leagues that can beat them when healthy.
I mean, it's an embarrassment of riches, in the starting rotation, in the line-up.
You know, you got Blake Snell coming back.
You got Scoobell over there.
Big game.
The one thing, Edwin Di- Edwin Diaz, you know, and the, the bullpen, some, some issues there, but overall that pitching is stacked.
Yeah, but you gotta think, some of those guys, some of those starters are gonna end up in the bullpen, right?
Yeah.
Like, that's, that always happens.
Yeah.
Yamamoto, you know, saved the day last year, in the World Series.
But, you know, you gotta think, like, Ed, you know, Ed Sheehan or some of those guys are gonna end up in the Emmy Sheehan or g- some of those guys are gonna end up, end up in the bullpen- Yeah to help, help out, you know, strengthen that back end of that bullpen.
Ed Sheeran, right?
He's the, he's the singer-songwriter.
Ed Sheeran, that's it.
Right?
I was like, wow.
I was like, they got everyone.
It's early, it's early right now.
It's, uh- But you can't put it past the Dodgers, right?
Player development is amazing for them.
I would not put it past them.
So we'll see if they need, they need Ed to, to show up at any point this, this post season.
