Speaker 1: And out an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: We're getting set for Game four of the World Series
Speaker 1: between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, and everybody is still
Speaker 1: buzzing about the eighteen inning finish last night or earlier
Speaker 1: this morning. And we're joined right now by one of
Speaker 1: those Dodger bullpen dogs who pitched an inning and two
Speaker 1: thirds scoreless innings in the first nine innings of last
Speaker 1: night's game. And that's Justin Robleski, justin, Thanks a lot
Speaker 1: for the time, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Dave. Glad to be here. Glad we won.
Speaker 1: Yeah, makes it easier to go to bed and wake
Speaker 1: up quickly, right with a smile on your face.
Speaker 2: For sure. For sure when you.
Speaker 1: See what the team did. It took all twenty six
Speaker 1: of you guys to win a World Series game. How
Speaker 1: much more special is it when everybody contributes in a
Speaker 1: World series win.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think anytime you know, you win a World Series game,
Speaker 3: or you're playing in a World Series game in general,
Speaker 3: it's obviously a huge, you know, once in a lifetime
Speaker 3: deal and for us to all kind of contribute in
Speaker 3: small ways in that game, and you know, even the
Speaker 3: guys that aren't on the roster kind of contributed and
Speaker 3: it was really really special. It was a lot of fun,
Speaker 3: probably the most fun I've ever had in the game
Speaker 3: in my life.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, got to.
Speaker 3: Pitch in the game and then come out of the
Speaker 3: game and kind of be a part of the cheerleading
Speaker 3: squad for everybody. And yeah, see Freddie's walk off home
Speaker 3: run and you know a lot of people still here
Speaker 3: for eighteen innings, you know, hats off of the fans
Speaker 3: and everybody that stuck around. And yeah, my family was here,
Speaker 3: so that was That was another thing that made it
Speaker 3: pretty cool for me. And yeah, it was it was special.
Speaker 1: Obviously Freddie with the walk off home run huge, But
Speaker 1: I loved after you mobbed Freddie Freeman, the team mobbed
Speaker 1: Will Kleine. How cool is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you know, a lot of people,
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously the media and everybody you know, is
Speaker 3: letting everybody know that what Will did was a big deal.
Speaker 3: But I think when you're in when you're in baseball
Speaker 3: and you know the game and you kind of know
Speaker 3: how it is, and you know that for me, especially
Speaker 3: being a starter and a reliever, like knowing kind of
Speaker 3: the differences and everything else and knowing that that will
Speaker 3: gave us everything you had yesterday. And he's not a
Speaker 3: guy that came from a starting background, so he just
Speaker 3: as a reliever through whatever it was seventy pitches or
Speaker 3: sixty something pitches or whatever, and four innings and it
Speaker 3: doesn't go unnoticed. And yeah, we were all super pumped
Speaker 3: for him, and you know, super happy not only that
Speaker 3: we won the game, but that he was able to
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, be a hero quote unquote, And
Speaker 3: it was super cool.
Speaker 1: Justin Roe Bleski is joining us. Before Game four of
Speaker 1: the World Series, I was standing next to your Dougout,
Speaker 1: I told you for the last nine innings, and I
Speaker 1: thought it showed such great team chemistry and camaraderie and
Speaker 1: how unselfish you guys all are for each other, how
Speaker 1: loud not only cheering for will Climb, but how loud
Speaker 1: the dugout was trying to will him no pun intended
Speaker 1: to each and every out. Do you believe that that
Speaker 1: helped him and do you believe that he fed off
Speaker 1: of that in those four inings?
Speaker 3: I mean, selfishly for all of us in there, I'd
Speaker 3: like to think we helped, But I think I think
Speaker 3: if you really asked Will, he's probably just out there
Speaker 3: tunnel vision, not hearing anything, just seeing the mid and
Speaker 3: trying to get guys out. But I think, you know,
Speaker 3: regardless of if it helped him or not, I think, you know,
Speaker 3: being behind your teammate in a spot like that is
Speaker 3: important and just celebrating with him when it goes well.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think it was. It was a lot
Speaker 3: of fun for us.
Speaker 1: In the dugout, more fun that you won the game, right.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent? One hundred percent? How big?
Speaker 1: How big of a win is that? And how big
Speaker 1: is it? Uh to go into today's game with a
Speaker 1: chance to go up three to one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's a huge win. I mean
Speaker 3: it's a huge, huge, huge win. And credit to them
Speaker 3: that they fought just as hard as we did. It's
Speaker 3: just we had, you know, one more big swing than
Speaker 3: they did. But uh, yeah, it's a huge, huge win
Speaker 3: in and you know, going up three one is the
Speaker 3: goal today and that's a big deal. So we're gonna
Speaker 3: try to get it done and hopefully have the chance
Speaker 3: to close this thing out tomorrow at home.
Speaker 1: How much more confidence do you have that Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: is going to in critical situations in the World Series.
Speaker 1: That's got a feed off itself.
Speaker 3: For sure, and I think you know, they've been in
Speaker 3: constant with the messaging to me this whole postseason and
Speaker 3: you're gonna get big outs for us, And you know,
Speaker 3: Dave came up to me and Milwaukee and was just like, hey,
Speaker 3: like stay ready, stay locked in.
Speaker 1: And your starters didn't really need.
Speaker 2: You exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: When the starting pitching has been as good as it
Speaker 3: has been, there's just not gonna be as as many
Speaker 3: opportunities out there, which is which is fine. I'm okay
Speaker 3: with winning, that's for sure, But yeah, I knew at
Speaker 3: some point there was gonna be a spot where I'd
Speaker 3: have to come in and get some big outs, and
Speaker 3: yesterday is you know, obviously the goal is always the same,
Speaker 3: but different different juice in a tie ball game than
Speaker 3: it was in Toronto and when we were down a
Speaker 3: little bit so, but yeah, it was a lot of
Speaker 3: fun and hopefully, you know, I it's super blessed and
Speaker 3: grateful to have that opportunity and in that big of
Speaker 3: a spot.
Speaker 1: I know Alex Vessia wherever he was watching last night,
Speaker 1: was super proud the relievers put fifty one on their caps.
Speaker 1: Whose idea was that and how much did that mean
Speaker 1: to the entire team within the team down there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it just it just came as a collective,
Speaker 3: you know, Blake trying and how the kind of you know, hey,
Speaker 3: should we do this? Hey, you guys want to do this?
Speaker 3: And yeah, we were just like, let's let's do it.
Speaker 3: And because Vess is such a big part of kind
Speaker 3: of everything we do down there, and he's been such
Speaker 3: a big part of this team all year, even through
Speaker 3: these playoffs, and yeah, it's just kind of, you know,
Speaker 3: show our support to him and let him know that
Speaker 3: that we're thinking of him and his family during this time.
Speaker 3: So that's that's really the big thing.
Speaker 1: Don't be nervous about saying it's Blake Trennon's idea. I'll
Speaker 1: handle trying and don't worry about it. Robleski. I know
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't give him too much credit though, I can't
Speaker 3: give him. I gotta gotta keep him humble, you know.
Speaker 1: You get those outs all handle Blake Trying and I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for the time, So great to see
Speaker 1: guys like yourself and will CLEINB succeed on this stage.
Speaker 1: We've been with you every step of the way the process.
Speaker 1: How much work you guys have put in to grow
Speaker 1: into this and you're really getting rewarded by the game
Speaker 1: for your perseverance. So congratulations and keep it going.

Speaker 2: keep it rolling.
