<v Speaker 1>So here's the million dollar question. You felt like the

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 1>door was still open for a chance to get this call,

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>But did you make vacation plans just in case?

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>No, No, my plans were either here, stay in LA

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>or be at the All Star Game. And I was

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>hopefully leaning more towards All Star Game. So yeah, it's cool.

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy. You know, now I got to book all

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>these flights and figure all this stuff out, so I'm excited.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I got got a busy day ahead of me. But

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited.

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Justin Robleski started his Saturday by throwing a bullpen.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 1>You're already done with the first half for the Dodgers.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you throw that bullpen because you got the nod

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to pitch on Tuesday.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna pitch on Tuesday. I believe that's

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>that's the plan. So I'm excited, and uh yeah, yeah,

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I through that bullpen. You know, just normal, normal bullpen

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>day for me. But you know, if I don't pitch

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday, whatever, But I think I think I am.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really I'm not having I haven't dove into

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the weeds on all that stuff yet, but Doc told me.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that I am going to pitch in the game,

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 2>But I have no idea. I'm just excited to be there. Yeah,

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious.

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>On Saturday when you threw that bullpen, did you throw

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>it because you're going to the All Star Game or

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>would you have thrown it otherwise.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna throw it either way, you know, keep

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>my body in shape, stay sharp. I had a few

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>things I wanted to work on, sof just normal, normal

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>business usual stuff.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you believe has been the key to you

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 1>being so successful this first half.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a lot of things. I think it's

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>some of its experience, some of it's, you know, just

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>understanding my strengths and kind of continuing to harp on

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>those and try to use those as good as I can.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I've got, like I said, a great

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 2>group of supporting people around here and my family and

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>and everybody. So yeah, it's I think it's just a

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>culmination of a lot of different things. But yeah, it's

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 2>just it's been been crazy and it's been a good

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>year so far. So hopefully, hopefully you can keep keep

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>getting better and uh yeah take it to the second half.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>The All Star Game is not the end for Justin

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Robleski or the Dodgers. But who do you believe has

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>helped you get to this level of your career?

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's a that's a tough question. There's a lot

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>of people, you know, a lot of people from you know,

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>colleges I went to, from you know, high school coaches,

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>from my family obviously, that's those those are the biggest

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>biggest contributors to why I'm here is them and everything

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>they've done for me. You know, Mom, dad, grandparents, just

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of everybody, sister, everybody's just been been there for

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>me this whole time and continuing to to, I don't know,

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 2>stay with me on this this crazy journey I've had

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that I guess most people would not not give up,

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>but I think just you know, maybe be a little disheartened.

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>And I've always just felt like, you know, they've always

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>but whether it was delusion or not, they've always kind

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>of fed into, you know, my belief in myself and

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>my ability to kind of just honestly number one, just

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 2>get to the major leagues. And then obviously this is

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 2>just kind of all you know, icing on the cake

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 2>right now. But obviously the goal is to have a

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>have a long career and hopefully getting a couple more

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>of these things. But I'd say a lot of it's

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>my family, a lot of it's the coaches that are

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>in this organization and top to bottom, just everybody just

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>has been such great helps with me getting up here.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, I can't thank the Dodgers organization

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 2>en just for you know, giving me the chance. And

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, because being an eleventh thrown guye not not

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>those guys don't always get get a chance. So it's

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>been super cool and I owe a lot to this organization.

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>All Star justin robe Leski is our guest. You'll be

<v Speaker 1>same room with those guys, being in the bullpen with

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>those guys. How much do you think that's going to

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.640
