WEBVTT - Tyler Glasnow (4-28-26) 

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David maas say or

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Talk. Remember when I used to take you down

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to the creek and dip your head in the creek. Well,

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm joined right now, but I'm Tyler Glass now. Tyler,

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it.

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you, dude, Thanks for having me.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>What's the season been like for you, Tyler? Obviously in

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>spring training you laid it out for all of us,

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>just what's the biggest difference for you? But to get results?

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>How big is that?

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>It's good?

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I think just working on all this stuff during last

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 2>playoffs and bringing it into the off season and spring

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 2>in the now, it's just nice to have like a

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>sense of consistency, and I think like making adjustments within

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>those changes has been really really easy.

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I remember you said in spring where you've kind of

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>let the coaches do you in the right direction. Now

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that you're in the thick of the season, is it

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>as easy to do as it was in spring training? Yeah.

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I have a lot of trust in Connor and Mark,

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>and I do think a lot of it is just

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>preparing how I normally prepare, and then just going out

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>and throwing and then something feels off, just trust their

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 2>eyes and for the most part, every time there's something

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I need answered, they're always there to answer it.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>On a day like today, where you're out there on

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>flat ground and Connor's out there with you, what are

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you feeling out there? What's different in between starts for

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you than maybe a year ago.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>It's all kind of the same, Like you're you're the

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>throw itself is the same, But I think each day

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>like it is a little different. You're always trying to

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>get back to baseline. I felt good, my petty yesterday,

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I felt relatively fine, pretty good today, and then tomorrow's

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a new day, and on and so forth. So I

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>think like one day throughout the week doesn't really dictate

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 2>how you feel on start day. So it's just trying

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to like stay healthy. Fixers you need to fix and

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>then move on.

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Are you a guy that goes back to look at

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>video of the previous start or is it moving on

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>to the next one?

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't you? I won't. I guess it just depends, like

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 2>if it's a really good one or something, I'll maybe

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>watch it. But I think a lot of times the

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>only time I really watch a video is if I'm

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 2>something like feels off and I can refer back to

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>when I was feeling good or how I was setting up,

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>or like where my hands or like just something like that.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>So for the most part, it's just if I'm trying

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>to like fix something. All your work at video.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>You've been in the league for a while now, you

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.119
<v Speaker 1>know yourself pretty well for pictures when you're going good,

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you have to understand what is working so well

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.119
<v Speaker 1>for you for when times are a little off?

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Yeah, Well, I just think a lot of times

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>when you feel bad, you remember what it feels like

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>to feel good, or like you kind of remember your

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>cues then or like I said to you just go

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 2>back and look at videos, and like, for the most part,

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>everyone's trying to get Like every start, you're trying to

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>get that feeling of feeling good and like feeling timed up.

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>And I think throughout the weekend, throughout the course of

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>a season, like there's different things you have to do

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to achieve that, whether it's like fatigue or something like

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>your hips are in a different spot or whatever. It is,

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>like you're just trying to find on time for what

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 2>that day is. So I think it's just realizing that

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 2>it's not gonna be perfect every day, but just doing

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>what you can and managing your workload to like figure

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 2>out how to feel as good as you can that day.

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>When did you learn how to be your best pitching

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>coach in the middle of games?

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I know, I don't. I think it's just like experience

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>of doing it a lot, like I since I started pitching,

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.399
<v Speaker 2>it was always like hunting the feeling of being on time,

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and I think just the more you do it, the

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>better you are at it, or like you've run through

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>it so many times that like you know, this doesn't

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>work and this works and stuff like that. So I

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Maybe I just think the more experience I get,

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 2>the better I feel with it. And I also think,

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>like I said, it's it's nice to just be able

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.399
<v Speaker 2>to trust Connor remark to where there's times I will

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>tinker around and just be like, what do you like,

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and they're just always I feel like they're just there

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>to kind of tell me what they see, and it's

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>like a lot easier to expedite the process. When I

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>have two guys watching me.

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Will they say, hey, stop tinkering.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>No, They'll just say, like, this is what I see

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>so they kind of understand that, like this is kind

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>of how I am, which has been really nice. Like

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's ever been something I've had before,

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I think every coach ever had is like just

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>stop bla blah blah blah. But like it's just a

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>gift and a curse. I guess it's just always how

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I am when I pitch, and uh, for the most part,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it's when i'm good, I'm tinkering. When I'm bad, I'm

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>tinkering just how I am, and they're just really good

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 2>at being like this is what I see, like your

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>hands are too low and I'm moving smooth or whatever

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 2>it is. And then for the most part, I'll go

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 2>out and implement what they say and it usually works out.

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>So that last start in San Francisco, you were so good.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Can you describe if there was any tinkering or any

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>feeling that you can take with you moving forward.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 2>No, that honestly, that game felt like every inning was different.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>So I've been kind of on a role here, but

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I think, like, like I said, the foundation of what

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing right now is good to where like it's

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 2>not huge tinkering. Like I think like I'm still like

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>my base is still strong enough to like make adjustments

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>now it feels good, and I think, are you still

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>even like that game? I tinkered and stuff and I

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>felt really good every inning, and it's just you're trying

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>to get back to a feeling and like staying behind

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the baseball, and yeah, that's what I did.

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>So two starts to go, one sinker. Then the last

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>start you threw more than you have all season. Is

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 1>that something for you to be able to lean on

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 1>having both fastballs now in your back pocket whenever you

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>need them.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>It's nice. I've had it for a couple of years now. Yeah.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I think some days some play better than others, and

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I kind of just sequence off of what feels good

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>that day. But it is good to have. Just the

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>more options I have, the better.

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Your curve I remember that game in Anaheim. I don't

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>know why it stands out more this year than in

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>years past. Your curveball has always been amazing, but I

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it feels like your fastballs are playing more

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>off your curveball. What's so special about the way you're

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>able to grip and rip.

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Before the playoffs and just taking it into the off

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 2>season like that whole thing that Connor in Mark switched

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>with me. Like my back foot, I always would just

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>rush down the mound and i'd either throw it like

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>a really sharp one at like fifty feet or I

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>would just back up. And then I implemented like doing

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the spike before two strikes and putting both fingers on

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>with two strikes, and I think it's just I'm able

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 2>to just kind of even if I'm late now, I

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>can still kind of get it into the zone. And

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I just think with the confidence, I'm throwing it more

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and it just feels more comfortable. But I think it

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 2>was all because of those adjustments. And then I mean,

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I've always my curveball has always been my best pitch,

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 2>even in like high school, and I kind of lost

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>it there for a little bit. And then I just

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>think now that I'm kind of back on track, I

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>feel like I have it again for strikes especially.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's thanks a lot for the time. Keep it going,

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'll try to come up with more lyrics for

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the next time.

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Good, I'll remember next time too. Perfect
