All right with Marcus Grant in for John Ireland. Let's hit the phones.

Let's start out with Richard in Anaheim. Richard, you're on sports graffiti. What's happening, man? Hey, that's up, guys. I like you guys, because you guys get me through my day. I'm a mailman in the city of Anaheim for 29 years. And we all listen to you and we all enjoy, you know, antics. Nice you to say. So you guys are awesome. and go Lakers all the way, baby.

0:54.7

Okay, there you have it. Thank you very much. Let's go to Dan and Montebello. Dan, you're on sports graffiti. Hi, Dan. Hey, guys, good afternoon. Good afternoon. I have a quick question. Do you think basically since Shoah's guy, he's basically given us two championships here, Do you think the Dodgers should kind of help Shohei and his request to get that

1:14.9

Sy Young award, maybe get him more, give him some rest time on the offensive

1:18.4

side and just let him focus on pitching and getting that award so he can kind of basically

1:22.8

lock him it up?

1:24.1

That's an interesting question.

1:26.9

I personally, and I'm not, I year I remember looking up the numbers and seeing that maybe his averages down a little bit on days he pitches, but his home run production is about the same.

1:41.2

I don't question the fact that I think the Dodgers probably would try to tee him up. I'm sure they're trying to get him the number of starts and, you know, get him 160 innings or something to even get them to qualify for the Cy Young Award. I would imagine they're going to kind of tee him up a little bit for that. Yeah, I think I think they'll slow play it at the start of the year, but I think if you get to a point and it looks realistic, why not let him chase him? Oh, yeah, no, it's dramatic as hell, right? I'm for the drama. Let's go to Jose and Bellflower. Hey, Jose, you're on sports graffiti. Hey, mate, how you doing? A long-time listener, it's, you know, the Dodgers are awesome this year. They're going to be great. And regards to the Yoshi Bobohead, I think they should all get one. Everyone that has a ticket, we're talking about, you know, a couple thousand. We've already made many thousands. But, hey, we need more. And I think everyone that has a ticket should get one, you know, regardless of where you're at, when you get the ticket. Yep. That's my opinion on that. Agreed. Agreed. Yeah, I wonder, we had this conversation last year. I just thought we would move the needle with it, but apparently we didn't because it's still going on. They are making sure that everybody gets one when it's Otani. But no guarantees for anybody else.

2:51.1

Yeah.

2:51.4

Let's go to Dave and Lancaster.

2:53.0

Dave, you're on sports graffiti.

2:54.3

2:54.6

What's up?

2:56.1

Good afternoon, fellas.

2:58.4

What's going on, man?

3:00.1

Hey, all right.
