I love how some fake fans bash on Muncy for having a cold World Series, but if you look at the full post-season stats, he had the highest on-base of anyone on the team, just a point higher than Mookie. He drew FIFTEEEN walks! 15! He had 3 homeruns, as many as Shohei and Teoscar did. And what was the thing Dodger fans worried about when it came to Muncy? His glove. He brought his glove and was a solid third baseman defensively. Lux may be on the way out, but I don't think it's because he was bad. He had some crucial at-bats in the post-season. Drew a walk to get on base during the bottom of the 10th in game 1, got the sac fly to tie it up at 6-6 in game 5. Little things, but the little things add up. Anyway, Vesia... honestly what a turn-around season he had this year. I remember in '23 the people in other Dodger channels had very little faith in him throughout the year and even leading into this year. But around late May or so, you started to see the turnaround in the fan's perspective too. It turned from "Oh no, not Vesia," to "Oh Vesia? Yeah we got this." Gotta love TBD aka Them Bullpen Dawgs.
Dodgers already have great Shortstops so it doesn't make any sense to put Mookie (not a good Shortstop) at Shortstop. Dodgers have Edman and Rojas at Shortstop. CT3 can also play Shortstop.
Hearing Vesia talk so glowingly about the other Dodgers relievers is awesome. He seems like a good teammate. Hope the dodgers stick with him long-term
The improvements he made this year were incredible. Bro is a beast.
Appreciate Trev for asking Vesia about pitching. Always great to hear a professional talk about their craft
Ves is such a cool dude
Elite conversation with Vesia. He and May connecting on mechanics was amazing. Vesia really opened up on this show. Wow.
really cool moment. It's what FT is all about. Vesia talking to a smart pitcher and catcher about his rise
Vesia is AWESOME
Great interview with Alex Vesia. He seems like an awesome guy. I'm glad he's a Dodger.
Vesia was a star here
Matt McLain - OKAY!!
great point by Ryan C in comments about Muncy actually having a huge postseason

they're both studs!
great research. worth a shoutout top of show sometime this week!
Kershaw having foot and knee surgery isn't new news. It was announced awhile back.
Soto is going to the dodgers. Mookie moved to 2nd base to open up a spot for him. Greatest team in history?

Mookie is currently below average at Shortstop. You guys need to get in touch with reality.
sounded like consensus was 2nd base
