Speaker 4: a great scene out here. There's a lot of media
Speaker 4: gathered here in the Dodger bullpen. This is the Dodger
Speaker 4: Reliever house. You've got to respect the house of the
Speaker 4: Dodger Relievers. We've got so many bloggers, so many newspaper outlets,
Speaker 4: so many upstart outlets like the California Post trying to
Speaker 4: make their mark. They are huddled around Jim Hill in
Speaker 4: front of the step and repeat area. We've got other
Speaker 4: media members enjoying Dodger dogs, chips, and an assortment of
Speaker 4: other things here in the Dodger bullpen. And look, this
Speaker 4: is not an area that the media or fans are
Speaker 4: allowed in too often. I mean, think about the Dodger
Speaker 4: relievers that have warmed up and the moments that they
Speaker 4: have warmed up for in this bullpen at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4: It's one thing to talk about things that happened on
Speaker 4: the road Walker Bueller coming out of the bullpen in
Speaker 4: New York. It's one thing to talk about Kershaw not
Speaker 4: seeing the final out in Toronto. But you think back
Speaker 4: to so many great moments of you know, the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Uh oh uh, I guess the show's over. We have
Speaker 4: no more time for anybody else. The show is gonna
Speaker 4: be over, especially guys wearing a Dodger jersey in a flannel.

Speaker 5: and and just learn. And Yeah, there's nothing better than
Speaker 5: putting this jersey on every day.
Speaker 4: I was a little bit worried that you wouldn't show
Speaker 4: up to Dodger Fest because I'll let you in on
Speaker 4: a little secret. You know, you and my son, you

Speaker 5: It's funny, man, because every year I do Zilla and
Speaker 5: I do Seattle Select. The kids are getting older, but
Speaker 5: I'm learning so much, man, I'm learning how to really
Speaker 5: help the kids, how to really have an impact. I
Speaker 5: partnered with a group player's health and they're helping me
Speaker 5: a lot with just safety. And that's probably the coolest
Speaker 5: part as of now that I've gotten into with the
Speaker 5: youth sports as well. So I'm beyond excited about, you know,
Speaker 5: just how it's evolving year after year.

Speaker 4: headset off, Blake Snell. We're inding the show right now.
Speaker 4: Forget everybody else. Come on, why you why want you

Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: There we go?
Speaker 3: Come on?
Speaker 4: Jeez, so weird, so Seattle weird. But now he's LA's
Speaker 4: favorite son. Blake Snell, your new home. That's it.
Speaker 5: I love LS always.
Speaker 4: Hey, we got more rolling on from Dodger Fest right
Speaker 4: here on AM five seventy LA Sports. Hey, Blake Snell
Speaker 4: didn't get the weather report, ADI and sunny always here
Speaker 4: in Ala. You don't want to be anywhere else. Right
Speaker 4: here on AM five seventy LA Sports. Oh yeah, still
Speaker 4: the after glow of Blake Snell at Dodger Fest and
Speaker 4: on Dodger Talk Live from Dodger Stadium. We are with
Speaker 4: you until one o'clock right here on AM five seventy
Speaker 4: LA Sport. I feel like the show should just end.
Speaker 4: How does it get better than that? Oh that's right,
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman and show hey Otani are going to join
Speaker 4: us in the final hour of today's show, so we
Speaker 4: roll on until one o'clock. We are scheduled to have
Speaker 4: joined us Emmitt Sheehan, Tanner Scott and will climb this hour.
Speaker 4: Maybe the great hair of Brock Stewart as well. We'll
Speaker 4: get an update on how Brock is feeling after undergoing
Speaker 4: season ending shoulder surgery last year. He was obviously disappointed
Speaker 4: he couldn't contribute as much as he would have liked
Speaker 4: after the trade back to the Dodgers, but certainly if
Speaker 4: he's healthy, I think that's one part. That's one part
Speaker 4: I believe that has been severely underreported and talked about
Speaker 4: as far as all the hot takes and all the
Speaker 4: talking heads out there, is the Dodger bullpen. Yeah, they've
Speaker 4: talked a lot about Edwin dis But if Tanner Scott
Speaker 4: can return to Tanner Scott form from a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago, all of a sudden, you have a two
Speaker 4: headed monster at the back end of your bullpen with
Speaker 4: Tanner Scott and Edwin Diaz. Also, you heard from Bruce
Speaker 4: Stark GRADEROL, the new and improved Bruce Stark GRADEROL, the
Speaker 4: Bazuka who is going to be hitting the ground running
Speaker 4: after missing the last two years for the Dodgers. All
Speaker 4: of a sudden, now you've got a rejuvenated, healthy Bruce
Speaker 4: Stark GRADEROL. Who you know. I know I always say
Speaker 4: this about certain guys, but the last time you saw
Speaker 4: Bruce Stark GRADEROL, compared to this version of Bruce Dark
Speaker 4: GRADEROL is going to really impress you. I'll just say that.
Speaker 4: So now we're talking working backwards for Dave Roberts, Edwin Diaz,
Speaker 4: Tanner Scott, Bruce Stark GRADEROL, Alex Vesia. You got Alex
Speaker 4: Vesia coming back. You got Anthony Bonda. You're going to
Speaker 4: have Ben Casparius, Jack Dryer, Anthony Bonda, to name a few.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, you're going to have Pile
Speaker 4: Hurt as part of this bullpen. Yeah, he may not
Speaker 4: break camp with you, but he certainly is going to
Speaker 4: log meaningful innings this year. So when you look at
Speaker 4: and I know everybody talks about the starters, and yes,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers starting rotation is tremendous, but if you look
Speaker 4: at last year's season, the biggest question mark was their bullpen.
Speaker 4: How are they going to get the final six outs?
Speaker 4: How are they going to get the final nine outs
Speaker 4: in the regular season? And it's a it's going to
Speaker 4: be a strength for the Dodgers. Here's my guy, six seven,
Speaker 4: Roki Sasaki.
Speaker 5: Hi, Roki, How.
Speaker 4: Are you welcome the Dodger Fest. Can you stand on
Speaker 4: this side please? Yeah, this is actually a surprise that
Speaker 4: you are going to be here. I mean a great

Speaker 4: year in a different way than many of us expected.
Speaker 4: How excited was he or how gratifying was it to
Speaker 4: help the Dodgers win the World Series in a new role?
Speaker 7: Don't even to touch the most up?
Speaker 9: So did you hear anymore? Looking they thought this is mama,

Speaker 4: world champion and a big part of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really cool. I've never gotten to experienced an
Speaker 6: off season, you know, after winning a World Series, so
Speaker 6: a little shorter than I'm used to, but you know,
Speaker 6: with good reason, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Speaker 6: And so it's just, I mean, having that kind of
Speaker 6: behind you really spurs the off seasons.
Speaker 3: You just want to win another one now, you know.
Speaker 6: So it's like that experience and like it just makes
Speaker 6: you hungry for more. Like it's almost like I want
Speaker 6: it another one more than I wanted the first one.
Speaker 6: Like you win that, it's like you just keep wanna
Speaker 6: want to come back. So it's it's been really cool.
Speaker 6: And then now getting to be here and like have
Speaker 6: like me everyone and get to like see all the
Speaker 6: fans like kind of celebrate together.
Speaker 3: It's been really cool.
Speaker 4: I've heard that from other players that have won their
Speaker 4: first championship. Winning becomes addicting.
Speaker 3: It sure does.
Speaker 6: I mean like there's just a feeling you get after winning,
Speaker 6: and it's you also just absolutely hate losing, but yeah,
Speaker 6: like winning a World Series, it makes you really want
Speaker 6: that next one even more.
Speaker 4: What what do you remember the most about being here
Speaker 4: in this bullpen? Because we are broadcasting from the Dodger bullpen?
Speaker 4: What do you remember the most as you were warming
Speaker 4: up to come in and unknowingly have to pitch the
Speaker 4: final four innings of that extra inning game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember when they showed the remaining bullpen arms
Speaker 6: on the like the broadcast we have, and it was
Speaker 6: it was me, Kershaw and Henrikas really once not crossed out,
Speaker 6: And that's when I kind of started setting in like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, like this is we're getting down to
Speaker 6: nitty gritty here, like we're we're gonna have to dig deep,
Speaker 6: Like who knows how long this game's gonna go because
Speaker 6: every like everyone was kind of like locking it in,
Speaker 6: like no more running. So and then Kershaw went out
Speaker 6: and then Henrikas went out. I was just I was
Speaker 6: like sitting out here as me and Barred and Chico
Speaker 6: and our layer catchers, and I was just like, what
Speaker 6: is going on?
Speaker 3: Like this?
Speaker 6: I've never experienced this is like one of you know,
Speaker 6: obviously had the other eighteen in game, but I was just.
Speaker 3: Like, what is going on?
Speaker 6: Like and then start warming up when Henrikas throws two
Speaker 6: beautiful innings and so it's like, all right, like I'm
Speaker 6: the last guy out here, like this is this is
Speaker 6: all I'm you now. But I honestly I really like that,
Speaker 6: like feelings. It's kind of like the last like gives
Speaker 6: you a little extra drill on there.
Speaker 4: I thought one of the greatest scenes of the ending
Speaker 4: of Game three of the World Series was obviously Freddie
Speaker 4: Freeman hitting the walk off home run being celebrated being mobbed,
Speaker 4: But then maybe two minutes after that, the entire team
Speaker 4: found you and mobbed you like you had just hit
Speaker 4: the walk off home run. Were you expecting that?
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't.
Speaker 6: I was just I was really excited that Freddy hit that,
Speaker 6: you know, I mean he had the big one last
Speaker 6: year too, and so you kind of, I mean you
Speaker 6: expected one of those guys to go do something crazy
Speaker 6: and end it, and you know, Freddy got to, and
Speaker 6: I think we're all ready to go home at that point.
Speaker 6: But yeah, then them coming over and like kind of
Speaker 6: do the same thing, like I was just glad to
Speaker 6: be a part of it, you know, and so be
Speaker 6: able to like feel that and like get that from
Speaker 6: like teammates and the fans was really special and just
Speaker 6: made me feel at home, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say you found a home with the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Will You will forever be remembered in Dodger history for
Speaker 4: your herculean effort in Game three of the World Series.
Speaker 4: Great to see you, look forward to seeing you in
Speaker 4: spring training as well. Congratulations on the success and the
Speaker 4: celebration that is following you every step of your life.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you, thanks for having me. Yeah, let's let's
Speaker 6: go win another one.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 3: Three.
Speaker 4: Pete will Klein is in. I'm in, You're in, and
Speaker 4: you're with us from Dodger Fest right here on AM
Speaker 4: five seventy LA Sports. More Great Dodgers, more of your
Speaker 4: back to back champion Dodgers on the way right around
Speaker 4: the corner on AM five seventy LA Sports. Beautiful day
Speaker 4: at Dodger Stadium. Oh yeah, let's enjoy this, yacht rock.
Speaker 4: It's that type of day, yacht rock type of day
Speaker 4: in the City of Angels here in Los Angeles. Beautiful
Speaker 4: day at Dodger Stadium for fan Fest. We're with you
Speaker 4: until AM five until one o'clock. Right here on AM
Speaker 4: five seventy LA Sports, we are broadcasting from the Dodgers' bullpen.
Speaker 4: That's right, That is where they have caged me for
Speaker 4: three hours here on five to seventy LA Sports. There
Speaker 4: is also the mass number of media members staging inside
Speaker 4: the Dodger bullpen trying to get any any morsel of
Speaker 4: information from anybody. I thought it was interesting that Roki
Speaker 4: Sasaki told us that it was the Dodgers and Roki's
Speaker 4: decision that had him pass on the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 4: It seems like the Dodgers kind of a let Roki know, like,
Speaker 4: we're not thrilled about you going to the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 4: So it was, in Roki's words, a team decision not
Speaker 4: to have him pitch for Team Japan in the World
Speaker 4: Baseball Classic. So that's the one big piece of news
Speaker 4: that we got from Roki Sasaki, who I wasn't expecting
Speaker 4: to join the show, But here he was. Roki Sasaki
Speaker 4: number eleven atest, and I'm sure he's doing some meet
Speaker 4: and greets. He is another one of those guys that
Speaker 4: maybe a little bit forgotten because he wasn't with the
Speaker 4: team during the regular season and obviously was a huge
Speaker 4: contributor coming out of the bullpen. Without Roki Sasaki becoming
Speaker 4: the Dodger closer, they don't get to the World Series.
Speaker 4: They don't win the World Series without Roki Sasaki. But
Speaker 4: you heard what he also said. He has come up
Speaker 4: with two new pitches to complement his split fork and
Speaker 4: also his fastball. So that's a repertoire built to be
Speaker 4: a starter that can go through a major league lineup
Speaker 4: twice and maybe in some instances three times. So encouraging
Speaker 4: stuff from Roki Sasaki. And quite honestly, if you've been
Speaker 4: listening to Dodger talk, I don't dislike the World Baseball Classic,
Speaker 4: but I'm not making that more of a priority than
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. If I'm anybody, I'm sorry. I know it's
Speaker 4: a jewel event for Major League Baseball, but how can
Speaker 4: you tell me winning the World Baseball Classic is just
Speaker 4: as important as winning the World Series with the Dodgers
Speaker 4: or any team. You can't convince me of that. It's
Speaker 4: a nice event, it gets some eyes on major League baseball,
Speaker 4: but not at a cost that would preclude the Dodgers
Speaker 4: or any team losing a key player or a key pitcher,
Speaker 4: And really it's surrounded around the pitchers, not really the
Speaker 4: position players. So it's not really about that. It's more
Speaker 4: about the pitchers. It's early in spring training when these
Speaker 4: guys start to get thrust into high leverage, high intensity situations.
Speaker 4: And for me, the Dodgers having three in Japan's best players,
Speaker 4: I'm fine with Otani just being the dh do not
Speaker 4: throw a single pitch, Yamamoto throw forty pitches. Here's a
Speaker 4: I that is very much having a lot of withdrawal
Speaker 4: issues of David Vassay this offseason. And that's my guy,
Speaker 4: number sixty six, Tanner Scott, Welcome live to Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4: That's right live. Does that change things real quick?
Speaker 3: Real quick? Is that a too pay or no.
Speaker 4: Come on feeling?
Speaker 1: That was our thing?
Speaker 3: I feel it, you got it new YEARK I will
Speaker 3: say it. I won't say it's fine. I won't say
Speaker 3: we did win that way. So I have to say
Speaker 3: I know exactly do it as much as you want perfect.
Speaker 3: But my good friends at Bosley would push back on
Speaker 3: that sponsorship. Hey, let's sponsor sponsor album still balld. I'll
Speaker 3: take it.
Speaker 4: Let me see your ball.
Speaker 3: We're doing.
Speaker 4: Really you didn't. You didn't big shave it.
Speaker 3: I did clean shave it for this to put a
Speaker 3: hat on. Okay, hey Willy Smith, Hey Will.
Speaker 4: He's emerged from hibernation. Nobody has heard from this guy
Speaker 4: since he hit His go ahead home run in the
Speaker 4: eleventh inning was special. I know where were you when
Speaker 4: he hit that.
Speaker 3: I was sitting in the bullpen watching, waiting hopefully we
Speaker 3: got to hoist the trophy and then me Migyro tied
Speaker 3: up the game and then Will took us to the
Speaker 3: Promised Land. So yeah, he did. I was just sitting
Speaker 3: there watching Kershaw throw. I mean yeah, that was his
Speaker 3: last technical bullpen in the playoffs. So that was cool.
Speaker 4: What was that like because after it was all said
Speaker 4: and done, he said he had no idea.
Speaker 3: Oh no he was. He was warming up, and uh
Speaker 3: I was, I mean I was just watching. I was like,
Speaker 3: it's one of the greatest ever. Do it right there,
Speaker 3: Dodger legend.
Speaker 4: So did you see Mookie turned the double player?
Speaker 3: It was like it was like a head turn. So
Speaker 3: I saw it.
Speaker 4: But uh, did you leave the bullpen or did you
Speaker 4: let him know, hey, we won.
Speaker 3: No at that moment, we just want to know.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 7: I was.
Speaker 3: I didn't know he was still throwing. I kind of
Speaker 3: just left.
Speaker 4: My body and just went, yeah, hey, I was telling people,
Speaker 4: everybody's talking about Tucker. It's great. Everybody's talking about your
Speaker 4: great offense, your great starting pitching. But now with Edwin
Speaker 4: Diaz and Tanner Scott in the same bullpen, the trumpets,
Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear them. Timmy Trumpet. Ready the
Speaker 4: name of it, Timmy Trumpet.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear it. Hopefully we get the
Speaker 3: like the actual live guy to do it like they did,
Speaker 3: and yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 4: I've been in contact with Timmy Trumpett to be into
Speaker 4: this show.
Speaker 3: Is he here today?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: He has responded to my DM, so I don't know
Speaker 4: if he did.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 4: I show it.
Speaker 3: I need proof.
Speaker 4: I will show it to you.
Speaker 3: I know I need proof right now.
Speaker 4: He's on tour right now?
Speaker 3: Sure sure, sure, I'm tour when Diaz is here, Yes,
Speaker 3: tour is here.
Speaker 4: Do you want me to lay down a track for
Speaker 4: you to come out to this year? I could I could.
Speaker 3: Figure out this year.
Speaker 4: Okay, new song?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?

Speaker 5: Love it.
Speaker 4: I'm a big Killers fan.
Speaker 3: Give it the Killers, give me, give me something, and
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna shoot it down, but I'll think about it.
Speaker 4: Springsteen, could we get Springsteen?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: You what do you want hip hop? You want to
Speaker 4: connect with.
Speaker 5: The young kids?
Speaker 4: The Coconuts song. Yeah, there's a Coconut song out there.
Speaker 3: It's it's bad. There's a there's a lot of songs
Speaker 3: like we were listening to Hot Coco, some Kits song. Yeah,
Speaker 3: in my son is in love with Hot Coco. Now
Speaker 3: it's yeah, he's two. That's bad.
Speaker 4: I know, I got I got a fourth grader. It
Speaker 4: only gets.
Speaker 3: Where's that there? Yeah? They grow so fast it's scary.
Speaker 4: I know. So do you. I remember when you were
Speaker 4: just a Marlin and now you're a Dodger.
Speaker 3: Briol Marlin, the other team in California.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then here yes, Hey, I know last year
Speaker 4: did not go the way that you wanted to.
Speaker 5: Yees.
Speaker 4: So, how how have you cleaned the slate? What's your
Speaker 4: off season been like?
Speaker 3: Off season was good, hanging out with my family, spending
Speaker 3: time with them. Looking back at twenty twenty five, realizing
Speaker 3: I threw too many strikes in the zone of two
Speaker 3: strikes and uh, I mean that's I'm I should put
Speaker 3: away that guy and I left. I left too many
Speaker 3: the ball over the heart of play, and that's never good.
Speaker 3: I mean I think I could take myself deep at
Speaker 3: that point. I don't know about that's a lot. I'll
Speaker 3: I don't think wand could bump me though, so we'll
Speaker 3: go with that. But no, they just reflected on the year.
Speaker 3: It wasn't the greatest year for me, but I mean
Speaker 3: we walked away over the ring and three peat two
Speaker 3: for me, I'll take that.
Speaker 4: And then you were trying to come back, and then
Speaker 4: you had that freak sickness injury, infection, how do you
Speaker 4: want to describe it?
Speaker 3: Something? Yes, something that put me put me in a
Speaker 3: hospital bed. So it wasn't great. I mean I was
Speaker 3: fighting my wife going to the hospital because I was like,
Speaker 3: I can get through it. I can get through it.
Speaker 3: And then it was a point where it was just
Speaker 3: getting too bad. We didn't want to go into like
Speaker 3: whatever sepsist right, yes, full that's dangerous. Yeah, so taking
Speaker 3: my wife for that.
Speaker 4: You have such great energy this year, just walking in here,

Speaker 3: my wife and I love it. On New Year's we
Speaker 3: don't make it to the ball drop. That's too late.
Speaker 3: We got a son too, way too late. So she

Speaker 4: to expect a little bit more.

Speaker 4: Do you feel it? Do you need me to do
Speaker 4: the rest of the interviews?
Speaker 3: Answer for me?
Speaker 4: You'd be right here and I'll answer for Will Smith.
Speaker 4: How did it feel real to hit that home run? Unbelievable?
Speaker 4: I was in the moment. I never let it get
Speaker 4: too out of hand, and I saw I saw the vision.
Speaker 4: I saw it on the other side of the wall.
Speaker 4: That's right, exactly. Do you like that? Love it?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: How many times have you watched the replay of your
Speaker 4: home run?
Speaker 3: Probably a few.
Speaker 10: It just showed up on your shields or something. But yeah,
Speaker 10: I need to watch the whole game. I want to
Speaker 10: do that. I want to watch the whole game, go
Speaker 10: back and just enjoy it, see every little moment.
Speaker 3: Obviously the homer, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Will Smith World Series hero is our guest. It's
Speaker 4: weird how you and Miguel Rojas will forever be linked
Speaker 4: in baseball history because you both hit huge home runs,
Speaker 4: but you both were on both ends of a huge
Speaker 4: play at the plate. Yep, him in field in throwing
Speaker 4: out Isaiah kind of filefa your foot almost coming off
Speaker 4: the play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was scared me.
Speaker 4: Have you watched that play?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Does it give you anxiety every time?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm still like waiting for the call to say no,
Speaker 10: we got that role or going back. But yeah, I
Speaker 10: mean honestly, in the moment, I didn't realize it came
Speaker 10: off the ground at all, like just did. But obviously
Speaker 10: got it back down and yeah, they play Migey May
Speaker 10: that was incredible, and you know, and field in kind
Speaker 10: of a tweeen or hot falling backwards making a good throw.
Speaker 10: It was was just ancre and obviously we needed it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, when you guys look back at the World Series,
Speaker 4: especially Game six in Game seven, there were so many
Speaker 4: moments where you could not have been the winners of
Speaker 4: that World Series. Yeah, the PA has a key K collision. Yep,
Speaker 4: justin Dean the ball getting stuck in the wall. Has
Speaker 4: that sunk in that they were when they talk about
Speaker 4: baseball being a game of inches, it was a game
Speaker 4: of inches for you to win.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it absolutely was. I mean that's how you know
Speaker 10: good the Blue Jays were how good we were. It
Speaker 10: was two really good teams going at it, and it
Speaker 10: was you who was going to catch that little edge
Speaker 10: and and and prevail.
Speaker 4: Before I let you go. I had Mike Soshan the
Speaker 4: show a couple of weeks ago. He's caught more games
Speaker 4: than any other Dodger in franchise history. He said, as
Speaker 4: a catcher on that play at the plate, you're taught
Speaker 4: to keep your foot in the middle of home plate?
Speaker 4: Is that what you were thinking as well? Yeah, what's
Speaker 4: the routine there? Yeah, I mean it's hard. It's hard
Speaker 4: because it's, you know, flat on the ground. It's not
Speaker 4: like first base where you're standing on top of it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean you're taught to be in the middle.
