0:00.0	Thank you. Simulated. That's the nothing personal word of the day. It is Wednesday, June 11th,
0:41.4	2025, and we're talking about simulated games. As in the simulated game that Shoheyotani
0:49.6	pitched at Petco Park just the other day, it is time to give you a full understanding of what is going on with the Dodgers and their

2:13.8	over the Padres, a one game lead over the Giants, trying to figure out a half game
2:20.9	lead over the Giants, a one game lead over the Padres, trying to figure out what would be
2:26.0	smart for us to do with Shohei Otani. We have cataloged Shohei as he began throwing on flat ground after his second Tommy John.
