Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: We are live at Chase Field in Arizona. After the
Speaker 1: Dodgers hold on for a six to five win. Mookie
Speaker 1: bets huge for the Dodgers in the final three innings
Speaker 1: of tonight's game. He drives in what turns out to
Speaker 1: be the difference in the game, and also great defense
Speaker 1: at shortstop. MOOKI, first of all, in the seventh inning
Speaker 1: with the Diamondbacks threatening, Freddie had the presence of mind
Speaker 1: to come to you on that ground ball by Peve
Speaker 1: and Smith. Were you expecting that?
Speaker 2: No, But I mean when you're just playing the game,
Speaker 2: especially with people like Freddie, you just get smart and
Speaker 2: you just know how to take the take the easy outs,
Speaker 2: you know. And that was kind of a play that
Speaker 2: just kind of happened, and it made it pretty easy. Mookie.
Speaker 1: Eighth inning. Again, all you at shortstop, not an easy
Speaker 1: double play to turn. How difficult was it to be
Speaker 1: able to track the ball with the runner in front
Speaker 1: of you and the runner bearing down on second base?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it was. I mean, they paid me
Speaker 2: to take to fill the ground ball, so you know,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a play I gotta make there. It's
Speaker 2: just this field sometimes takes some weird hops. But again,
Speaker 2: I get paid to do it, so I better make
Speaker 2: it happen.
Speaker 1: You also get paid to hit the ball. How good
Speaker 1: does it feel to know that the Diamondbacks came back
Speaker 1: and you grind it through a game and your RBI
Speaker 1: was the difference tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's just good to know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, like I said, I look up
Speaker 2: at the number and it's not very encouraging, but I
Speaker 2: feel like I've been contributing to the team and wins
Speaker 2: and whatnot. So that's all I really care about. As
Speaker 2: long as I contribute and they help the boys win.
Speaker 2: You know, that's I can go to sleep at night.
Speaker 1: You've been doing that since twenty twenty. You do it
Speaker 1: in the regular season again, Thanks Mookie, sir.
Speaker 2: Thanks best
