WEBVTT - Kyle Karros (7-7-26) 

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talker.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 2>We are literally in the hot corner with the guy

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 2>at the hot corner in the Rockies clubhouse. That is

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 2>my favorite Carros, Kyle Carros.

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>How you doing, Kyle, I'm doing good man. You always

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>bring a smile to my face.

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you know you're my favorite Carros. Now. I let

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>your dad know that all the time.

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you. Probably tell the same stuff to my brother, though,

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>so I'll take care with the greatest ault.

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 2>That's true Jared and Kyle one A and one B.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>In my books, and then Eric down low.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Very low. Hey, you can appreciate this being in the

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>game for a long time. Whenever you're struggling or you

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 2>got some little nagging injury, the game seems to find you.

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 2>And pops with a bad back, foul ball finds them

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>in the booth. So even at this stage of his career,

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the game is finding him when he's got a bad back. Yeah.

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't think he's ever been known for

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>his glove, and I think that was on full display

0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>last night up in the booth. I think he kind

0:00:59.040 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of ran away from that ball.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>If I saw right, that's exactly right, and it ricochet

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Davis tried to act like he caught it clean.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but then we went to video review and he

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 1>was nowhere to be found near that ball.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Kylea, you guys have had a great stretch here coming

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>into this series against the Dodgers. Last night was an

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>amazing game. You were a big part of that ninth

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>inning rally. What's the vibe around this team?

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I think just playing for one another, playing with nothing

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to lose, playing free. But I think it just speaks

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>a ton to the guys we have in this clubhouse

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and how we string together rallies and always stay in

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the game.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>You're in the hot corner with your guy that you

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>came up through the minor leagues with who LA knows

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>very well. Now, Colin Carrick, what was all that about

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>last night? And how did he handle that?

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just two personalities going at it. I

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>think everyone knows Rush has a little personality to him

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and Cole does as well, So I think when you

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>throw those two together, there's gonna be some fireworks.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Reporting. Sorry, Cole Carrick, household name now, I apologize.

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right after the incident.

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly right. Do you still get any butterflies or

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>different feelings coming to this field compared to the others

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>you've played him?

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's always cool playing in LA I'd say

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>this series definitely feels a little different just because I've

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, been in the league for a little longer.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Feel more comfortable at this level. Definitely not as jittery

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>this time around. But it's always going to be cool

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>to play here.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>You're staying at your parents' house, so do you ride

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>in with your dad? Do you go home with your dad?

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>What's the carpool situation?

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Day one, I took my mom's car, I drove on

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>my own. But then today I'm going to go back

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to the team hotel after tonight, so we carpooled so

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I can hop on the bus after the game.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>And is that an awkward car ride?

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>No, there's loud music and not allowed to chatty.

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Who gets to choose what's playing? Is it your dad

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>or is it you?

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>It's me? It's me, I take priority, it's my game.

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm playing so he can he can do his pregame

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 1>ritual before he calls the game. But the car ride

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>is mine.

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we know he's a guy that lived in

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>the nineties. Are you a guy that dips in the

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 2>nineties too? Are you off on your own?

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe another time I would humor him with

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>some of his genre, But before a game, I like

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>to get prepared with my own stuff, so I don't

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>think he really is a fan of it.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to share what that is? You're so mysterious,

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the most mysterious caros in the family.

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of house music, which is like kind

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of like em like dance music. There's not a whole

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of words to it, but I just like the

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>vibe of it and gets me ready.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I've heard like you have glow sticks in

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>your car when you drive home at night.

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Right. I don't go all out with it, but it's

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>definitely a good tune.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I got another fun fact related to your dad.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey's just two home runs away from passing your

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>pops for the most home runs hit in this ballpark?

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Were you aware of that?

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I was not, But that's not surprising. I mean, Munsi's

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the hell of a player. He's having a hell of

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a year, and he's he's going to keep sending him

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>out of this yard.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>All right. Wow, he has the answers like his dad

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 2>used to. Damn, dude, you are polished, polish caros.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Here he trained me well.

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, by the way, you brought up your brother Jared. Yeah,

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Dodger organization picture Tommy John. All that. How is Jared

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Carrow's coming back? He's good.

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he's progressing well. I mean, as we know,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Tommy John's a long long recovery, but everything's going well.

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>He sends me videos updating me where he's at with

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the throwing program. So it's good to see and I'm

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>excited to see him back on a mount soon.

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, awesome to have you back in LA. When

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you shake my hand, it's basically, hey, this interview's over.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>You've made me uncomfortable long enough, so I'll take that

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>as this is over. And don't worry. Every time you

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 2>come to LA, I will not have you on the show.

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>But tonight it felt like the right time.

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:52.640
