WEBVTT - Kiké Hernández Postgame (10-6-26) 

0:00:00.450 --> 0:00:06.279
<v Speaker 1>And now, an exclusive interview with David Basset for Dodger Talk.

0:00:07.580 --> 0:00:10.220
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Truist Park in Atlanta after the

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers take game three of the NLDS. And my guy,

0:00:14.260 --> 0:00:19.450
<v Speaker 2>Quique Hernandez, comes through again. October Quique gets the two-run

0:00:19.510 --> 0:00:22.230
<v Speaker 2>home run, gets the Dodgers spark against Chris Sale.

0:00:22.550 --> 0:00:25.430
<v Speaker 1>Could you feel the energy in that dugout?

0:00:25.489 --> 0:00:27.830
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that energy was great. I also felt a very

0:00:27.870 --> 0:00:30.700
<v Speaker 3>quiet stadium, which... It's kind of one of the coolest

0:00:30.730 --> 0:00:33.350
<v Speaker 3>things about getting a big hit in October. When you're

0:00:33.370 --> 0:00:36.309
<v Speaker 3>on the road and you can hear your dugout going

0:00:36.370 --> 0:00:39.010
<v Speaker 3>nuts because the stadium is so quiet, that means it's

0:00:39.050 --> 0:00:42.130
<v Speaker 3>good shit going on. So, I mean, shout out to

0:00:42.229 --> 0:00:45.210
<v Speaker 3>Andy getting the rally started. There's a lot of noise

0:00:45.250 --> 0:00:48.370
<v Speaker 3>going around Andy Pius right now, and he was able

0:00:48.390 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>to quiet that noise and focus on the game. And,

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.779
<v Speaker 3>you know, he started two rallies for us. So kudos

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>to Andy, kudos to our pitching, kudos to our defense.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Freddie Free with three great swings tonight. One of them

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.940
<v Speaker 3>happened to leave the yard. And I mean, the swings

0:01:04.970 --> 0:01:07.130
<v Speaker 3>were cool, but that pick to end the game was insane.

0:01:07.450 --> 0:01:11.230
<v Speaker 1>Kike, you've invested so much in Edwin Diaz. You've tried

0:01:11.250 --> 0:01:14.230
<v Speaker 1>to coach him up to keep his confidence up. Here

0:01:14.270 --> 0:01:17.470
<v Speaker 1>he is in a must win some ways, playoff game,

0:01:17.510 --> 0:01:20.150
<v Speaker 1>closing it out. How proud are you of where he

0:01:20.190 --> 0:01:21.490
<v Speaker 1>started and where he's at?

0:01:21.670 --> 0:01:24.590
<v Speaker 3>That's my guy, man. That's my guy. I take a

0:01:24.630 --> 0:01:27.650
<v Speaker 3>lot of pride in helping him out because I feel

0:01:27.670 --> 0:01:32.459
<v Speaker 3>like I had a little bit of weight in bringing

0:01:32.500 --> 0:01:37.380
<v Speaker 3>him into this team. And through all those struggles, I

0:01:37.420 --> 0:01:41.550
<v Speaker 3>kept telling him, just don't forget who you are. At

0:01:41.590 --> 0:01:43.429
<v Speaker 3>the end of the day, we believe that you're going

0:01:43.450 --> 0:01:44.750
<v Speaker 3>to be the guy on the mound when we get

0:01:44.790 --> 0:01:46.429
<v Speaker 3>the last out of the World Series. And that was

0:01:46.450 --> 0:01:51.380
<v Speaker 3>kind of the talk through it all. And once it

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.540
<v Speaker 3>all ends, I'll tell you a little bit more about

0:01:54.940 --> 0:01:56.820
<v Speaker 3>how we got him to get back to who he

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.180
<v Speaker 3>is and who it was that was responsible for that.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.850
<v Speaker 3>But after the series, it's... We can talk about that.

0:02:04.070 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>All right. How good do you guys feel up two

0:02:06.140 --> 0:02:08.740
<v Speaker 1>games to one, being able to close it out tomorrow night?

0:02:08.980 --> 0:02:09.340
<v Speaker 1>Pretty good.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.180
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we're pretty good. I feel like they had

0:02:12.220 --> 0:02:15.500
<v Speaker 3>the momentum going into the series. This place gets loud.

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.460
<v Speaker 3>This place gets rocking. We took home field advantage right

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 3>back from them. And, yeah, we were excited. We got

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.970
<v Speaker 3>glass tomorrow. We believe in glass. So we just got

0:02:27.990 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to keep chipping away. And, you know, we know our

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>pitching is going to come through.

0:02:32.180 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Still haven't washed this shirt.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:34.690
<v Speaker 1>Still haven't washed it.

0:02:34.930 --> 0:02:36.370
<v Speaker 3>The magic of this shirt, baby. Thank you.
