WEBVTT - Freddie Freeman Postgame (5-8-26) 

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talk.

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman comes back after a hot road trip, as

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>he had nine hits on that road trip, comes back

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and clips Chris Sale with a ninety seven mile hour fastball.

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Second pitch of the at bat, Freddie Freeman was able

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 2>to put on the third run of the game. It

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>was his one hundredth Dodger home run. And here he

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>is right now, Freddie Freeman, missing me so much, decided

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to come over here.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Freddy?

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, David, how are you hey?

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I love seeing that smile, Freddie.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 2>It seemed like on the road trip nine hits, you

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>started to get you know, the Freddy bat.

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, definitely in I would sell you in Houston

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot better swing decisions.

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I made a little adjustment with my foot to contran

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>keep my right hipping a little bit more. So, you know,

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously results have been much better. Ball's been going to

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>left field on the line. Even my missus are a

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>lot better. So we are trending in the right direction.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>But this game is very hard, so you never know

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>what it could be like tomorrow.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>It seemed like you and show a the third time

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 2>around against Sale. You guys were looking to be aggressive

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>early in the count.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean there's no adjustments you can really make

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>against Chris Sale. As to put it simple, like I

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>just told Kerson to put it simple. As a left

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>handed hitter, you gotta be willing to die against Chris

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Sale because he's thrown behind you. So if you're pulling

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>out at all, you're gonna you don't really have a chance.

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 3>So you gotta stay in.

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>And if you stay in and he throws one up

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>at your you know he's thrown behind you. So in

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.119
<v Speaker 1>your mind, you gotta be willing to die, is how

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I put it. So I just kind of that was

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>my course of action. He threw an oh strike for

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a slider, and I was like, I can't hit that,

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 1>so I'm still gonna stay on the heater, and luckily

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>he left one out over and I was able to

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>get one.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>That was your one hundredth home run as a Dodger,

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>did you Yeah, we're even aware of that.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>No, maybe that's why it took so long to hit

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>one in the last month. No, I did not. Obviously

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a big stat of home run tracker because

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't hit those. That was very often as my

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>other things. But I'm surprised because usually keep my stats

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>for me.

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there it is, one hundredth home run ass a Dodger.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, you never told me I had ninety nine, so

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that's your fault. You told me I would have done

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it a lot quicker than waiting a whole month.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, it taw me. I appreciate it. I love

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 3>you laughing, I love you smiling, Freddy.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully we can continue that tomorrow
