Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talker.
Speaker 1: We're live at Dodgers Stadium. After the Dodgers shut out
Speaker 1: the Mets, Ford and Nothing, Justin Robleski eight scoreless sinnings,
Speaker 1: but a lot of great defense behind him, including the
Speaker 1: ageless Wonder himself, Miguel Rojas, who made a spectacular play
Speaker 1: in the very first st inning, robbing Bobi. Shit. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're doing things that nobody can do at this age.
Speaker 1: How are you? How are you finding all this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all that create the role To be honest with you,
Speaker 2: do you know how how much pria.
Speaker 1: Go on my defense?
Speaker 2: That's why it got me here when I was younger.
Speaker 2: And I feel pretty pretty like pretty good right now.
Speaker 2: My body's healthy and I can, I guess feel like
Speaker 2: I can play short. So uh, that's that's something that
Speaker 2: I always gonna be good for when you put me
Speaker 2: in the field, you always can count on good defense.
Speaker 2: And that's why, Uh, every time I take the field,
Speaker 2: like I tried to be a defensive fair guy and
Speaker 2: obviously to hey got three hits, but I mean all
Speaker 2: the clay to roll today attacking the strike zone and
Speaker 2: and putting the ball in play for us to be active.
Speaker 2: There is never you never have so much fun when
Speaker 2: like someone is a throwing strikes and like the innings
Speaker 2: are quick, and then we feed.
Speaker 1: Off of that. That was a pretty good game, Miguel.
Speaker 1: When you're hitting ninth and you're doing your thing, getting
Speaker 1: three heads playing defense, what feeds off the other is
Speaker 1: the defense that feeds off the offense. So the offense
Speaker 1: feeds off the defense.
Speaker 2: Like I said, today was about all about Robleski taking
Speaker 2: the ball knowing that he needs to attack hitters. He
Speaker 2: really wants to be a starter, you know. And and
Speaker 2: the guy showed up today that he can be on
Speaker 2: the rotation, that he can help us anyway possible. He
Speaker 2: was used for us last year in the world years,
Speaker 2: and uh, all the clay for him today because I mean,
Speaker 2: when you do something like that, you scored early, you
Speaker 2: scored one wrong. I know, we had a lot of
Speaker 2: opportunities to score more runs. But the often he's been good.
Speaker 2: You know, we've been having good at bats. I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously Pas been he's been great for us. But to
Speaker 2: your point, like the bottom, the bottom of the of
Speaker 2: the order is being amazing. These uh, these first three
Speaker 2: or four weeks and uh we looking forward to continue
Speaker 2: to row.

Speaker 1: your dad and your mom. How special is that?

Speaker 2: that happened, I didn't know that I was gonna receive this,
Speaker 2: and now I don't want to take them off. You know.
Speaker 2: I feel like, obviously my family is really important to me,
Speaker 2: and that's why I have a tattoo it on my body.
Speaker 2: Then nobody eleven means family for me. And uh, now
Speaker 2: that I don't have my parents, I I just feel
Speaker 2: like I gotta find a way to keep honoring until
Speaker 2: like I played my last game, because that's what they
Speaker 2: always want me to do. So that's why I didn't
Speaker 2: take any days, because uh, I know I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: more productive here then then not being with them. They're
Speaker 2: not They're not with me anymore right here in this
Speaker 2: uh in this earth. So I know I got a
Speaker 2: couple of angels up there that that are looking down
Speaker 2: for me and they're helping me and gave me staying
Speaker 2: that I need.
