Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talker.
Speaker 1: We are live in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium after
Speaker 1: the Dodgers hold on to beat the Yankees two to one.
Speaker 1: And what a night for Dalton Rushing behind the plate.
Speaker 1: He did it all catching a great game from Rokie Sasaki.
Speaker 1: Rushing knows how to get the fire out of Rokie
Speaker 1: throwing the hardest pitches of his major league career tonight.
Speaker 1: How did you get him fired up to do that?
Speaker 2: He was on a big stage. We're in New York.
Speaker 2: We need him to have his best stuff and he
Speaker 2: did he Uh, he gave us a chance to win,
Speaker 2: and ultimately that's all we ask every time he goes
Speaker 2: out there. Obviously the stuff was plus tonight. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: let one scratch cross right there with a little uh
Speaker 2: one right through my legs. So uh yeah, that's that's
Speaker 2: a tough one to swallow. But I'm glad Months just
Speaker 2: came up, helped me out there. Obviously helped the boys
Speaker 2: out and we uh pull out a win here in
Speaker 2: the Bronx And obviously, yeah got out into Rookie.
Speaker 1: What was the feeling in the dugout when Months hit
Speaker 1: that home run halfway back to Manhattan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's, uh, the situation of the game, the way
Speaker 2: the game was going. It's uh. Crazy things happen in
Speaker 2: big games, and obviously this was a big one and
Speaker 2: it was a big swing for months. It was. It
Speaker 2: was pretty fun to.
Speaker 1: Watch the play of the game tonight, though, was the
Speaker 1: relay from Paes to Mookie to Dalton rushing on that
Speaker 1: double off the wall by Ben Rice. How were you
Speaker 1: able to be able to to make that play when
Speaker 1: the throw took you on the other side of the plate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a tough play. It's a tough play
Speaker 2: for pies. You kind of give up on it to
Speaker 2: an extent. Once the ball like ricochets off the wall
Speaker 2: like that takes Mookie out of line and Mookie's got
Speaker 2: to make an off balanced throw home. It's it's just
Speaker 2: a tough play all around. Luckily Mookie puts a good
Speaker 2: throw home. Give me a chance to get back to
Speaker 2: the base and apply a tag. It was a rough one.
Speaker 1: Hey, It's got to be fun as the catcher to
Speaker 1: know your outfielders, your infielders are gonna give you a
Speaker 1: chance to be able to make that type of play
Speaker 1: almost every time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it's impressive out of Pahes he does
Speaker 2: it day in, day out. And obviously Mookie, Mickey Roe,
Speaker 2: Tommy Free, the guys that are in the middle endfield
Speaker 2: right there, they give us a chance to make the
Speaker 2: out at home with good throws, and it's obviously it's
Speaker 2: a blessing.
Speaker 1: Not a bad catcher knows how to straddle that line.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for stopping. Congratulations on a great game.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thanks Mass always good
