| 0:00.0 | That was a water Rodriguez talking about why he used his veto power and they'll give me |
| 0:07.2 | wrong. He's earned that right. Scott Harris knew that. He's played in the league. He's part of |
| 0:14.0 | his negotiate. He's negotiating that in this contract. I'm not blaming him for that. I am a little |
| 0:20.0 | upset that he allowed it to get this far without simply saying, guys, I already told you I'm not |
| 0:25.7 | going to LA. So put the phone down, call somebody else. Now for that, yeah, I am going to say he |
| 0:34.2 | deserves some of the blame. He could have ended this. Harris says, I've been in constant |
| 0:39.2 | the constant with contact with them. He even said, yeah, we talked at what point do you simply |
| 0:45.8 | say quit the LA stuff. I am not going. But bottom line in the end, this does fall on Scott Harris |
| 0:55.9 | because you're the president. You were supposed to get this thing done. You thought that you could |
| 1:02.4 | sweet talk everybody and make it happen and it didn't. And what exactly happened? It's a lot of |

| 1:28.2 | Erod speaks. It's not for me to say. Well, clearly, it's something too far away. Yeah. |
| 1:33.9 | Two four eight five three nine nine seven nine seven. It's for somebody to say the Dodgers |
| 1:39.6 | aren't going to say anything. When everybody is going radio silent, that normally means I don't |
| 1:44.7 | think it was anything to do with baseball. I think it had, I think it was personally and you kept |
| 1:49.8 | hearing Erod talk about family. So maybe this was. I don't know. It maybe it was a family related |
| 1:58.8 | issue. Remember this man left last year and was gone for a month for personal reasons |
| 2:05.1 | because of his family. So I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. But I got a feeling |
| 2:11.6 | that was a part of this. But if you're Scott Harris, you had to know this. Now for Scott, |
| 2:16.8 | you got to live with this man. You screwed this up. You made a huge mistake. |
