WEBVTT - Off-day Dodger Talk (7-16-26)

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.639
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.840

<v Speaker 2>David Vasse with you until eight o'clock tonight here on

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>AM five to seventy LA Sports. The Dodgers get the

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>second half underway, or the post All Star Break schedule

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>underway tomorrow night in the Bronx, the site of Game

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>five of the twenty twenty four World Series.

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 4>That's right, the Dodgers will.

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Be back in the Bronx for the first time since

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>winning the twenty four World Series the front end of

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the back to back championships. I feel like we forget

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>too easily the twenty four World Series because of how

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>dramatic Game seven and the entire twenty five World Series went.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, the Dodgers are going back to Yankee Stadium

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 2>for the first time since beating the Yankees and coming

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 2>from behind dramatic fashion in that Game five to win

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the World Series. So that should be exciting. I'm excited

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 2>to go back to Yankee Stadium and the Dodgers will

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>be there for a three game series before heading back

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to Philadelphia and then to the White House and then

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>back to New York to City Field to play the Mets.

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So a big ten day road trip for the Dodgers

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>right out of the All Star Break. We got a

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>great show for you tonight on the eve of the

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers starting up the post All Star Break part of

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>their schedule. Mark Pryor and Blake Trinan will join us.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>At the bottom of the hour, the Dodgers pitching coach

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pryor will lay out and discuss how the Dodgers

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>manage show hal Tany the pitcher the second half of

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the season and Blake Trinan, the forgotten reliever who played

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>such a big part in the Dodgers winning the twenty

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>four World Series, such a big part, and pitching in

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 2>relief more pitches than he ever threw in a game

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 2>in Game five of the World Series to set up

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller closing it out. Blake Trinon will also join

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 2>us at the bottom of the hour and coming up

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 2>in fifteen minutes, our very own Colin Yee's studio producer

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>has put together a fantastic first half highlight montage with

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>my guy Brad Paisley providing the musics. So that's coming

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>up in fifteen minutes, the Colin Yee Dodgers first Half

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>highlight Montage. All right, before we get to the Dodgers

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>and their East Coast road trip, I'll just say my

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>piece on the Home Run Derby and the All Star Game.

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna sit here and say both events were fantastic. No,

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>they both fell flat this year and it will happen.

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But doesn't mean you have a overhaul of the Home

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Run Derby or overhaul of the rules of the All

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Star Game. No, it just so happened that Skiens and

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Miserowski and Yamamoto could not pitch. Now, Cam Schlittler, he

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>should have pitched. It was his throat day on Tuesday,

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and he should have pitched. But you can't blame Skeens

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>or Miserowski or Yama Moto.

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 4>It's just the way it lined up.

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>And the biggest of stars, sho Hao Tani, had to

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>have his left knee drained. So, I mean, those are

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the extenuating circumstances of this year All Star Game. So

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a need to change or demand

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>new rules to make sure these guys pitch when it's

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Game. No, this has happened before. It's

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 2>just unfortunate that it happened this year. And it's the

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>most unfortunate that you didn't have Aaron Judge in this

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>game and you didn't have sho Hao Tani. Everybody keeps

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 2>wondering why it was so flat. That's the reason you

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the game's two biggest stars on the field.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Judge is hurt, show Hao Tani's hurt, and you

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the biggest high profile pitcher pitching in the

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>game and Jacob Mizerowski the Miz So those are the

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 2>perfect storm of unfortunate events that lend itself to the

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>All Star Game being flat this year. And congratulations to

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>our guy Cody Bellinger for winning the All Star Game

0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>MVP and our guy Miguel Vargas for hitting the only

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>home run in the All Star Game this year, two

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>former Dodgers who have gone on to be rising stars

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 2>with their own teams. I mean, Cody did everything with

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, but Miguel Vargas having his true breakout season

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.799
<v Speaker 2>on the South side of Chicago. So congratulations to both

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>those former Dodgers who mean a lot to me and

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>certainly put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Wearing that Dodger uniform. And I know.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Vargas wanted it to happen here, but it's unfortunate

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 2>that there was just nowhere for him to play. Third

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>base was taken by Max Munsey. First base was taken

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 2>by Freddie Freeman. Now, as far as the home run

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 2>derby goes, and just the whole weekend in Philadelphia, Philly

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 2>did a great job. They did a great job hosting it.

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>But here's the little secret that nobody wants to say

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 2>out loud. All the Phillies disappointed. All the Phillies players

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't rise to the occasion.

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 4>Of the or the fan base.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Kyle Schwarber lost the home run derby to

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Walker. Bryce Harper could only hit two home runs out.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So seems like a trend in Philadelphia where there's a

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of hype and not a.

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 4>Lot of action to back it up.

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 2>And in the game, Christopher Sanchez, Oh, Christopher Sanchez, he

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>needs to.

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:24.280
<v Speaker 4>Start this game.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's the one that gave up three runs in

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the first inning and that was it for the National League.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So the host city did a great job. The Phillies

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 2>players did not. And that's that's the dirty little secret.

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Nobody in Philadelphia will say out loud, but we will

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>right here, all right. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number, Dodger talk David

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Vasse with you until the bottom of the hour. Blake

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Snell is going to make a rehab assignment this weekend.

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>While the Dodgers are in New York, Snell will be

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 2>in Tacoma, Washington, with ocal home of city, making his

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>first rehab start. And Max Munsey, who was the starter

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>for the National League obviously will be back in New

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>York with the Dodgers. But I know everybody's concerned about

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>a letdown or the Dodgers limping into September and October

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>because they have the best record in baseball and a

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 2>gigantic lead in the NL West eleven and a half games,

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>despite being swept by the Diamondbacks before the All Star Break.

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey, who's been on the Dodgers since twenty eighteen,

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>has seen a lot of big leads turn into October clunkers,

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>is confident that this Dodger team that has won back

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>to back championships knows how to win and knows how

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to handle all this.

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 5>This group is a little bit different just the amount

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 5>of experience we have on the team, and in the

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 5>past we hadn't been as bought into just taking it

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 5>day by day as we are now. And part of

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 5>that is just understanding what the end goal is for us.

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 5>And the only way you get the is you. You

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 5>you show up every day and you you do what

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 5>you have to do for that day. You can't worry

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 5>about anything else that's going on. You can't worry about

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 5>tomorrow or next week or the week after that. You

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 5>have you know, tonight we have Kyle Freeland, Uh, the Rockies.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 5>How are we gonna win this game? And then when

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 5>we show up tomorrow, we'll worry about tomorrow's pitcher. And

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 5>that's that's just how we've been taking it every single day.

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 5>And that's that's really what's helped us win two World

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 5>Series back to back. Is you know, even in the postseason,

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't matter if you won the night before, you

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 5>got to show up the next day and you play

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 5>that game.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Will that be the challenge in the second half for

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>you guys to stay in the moment?

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean obviously that's that's kind of always a challenge.

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 5>But uh, you know, I think for us, like I said,

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 5>having the experience that's been that's been helping us a bunch.

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll all find out together month see the rest of

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, all of us will find out how the

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers handle this big lead. And it's not just about

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.839
<v Speaker 2>the NL West, it's about having a first round by

0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 2>because we all know a short, three five game series

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>is not where you want to be. The Dodgers were fortunate,

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>thanks to a huge hit by ta Oscar Hernandez and

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Philly to win that series and move on. You don't

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 2>want to see the Phillies again in a five game series.

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to see any team in a short

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>five game series because anything can happen. So it's not

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>just about winning the West. It's about having a first

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 2>round by. And also, let's not forget last year. If

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers would have won one more regular season game,

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>they would have had home field advantage in the World Series.

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Game seven would have been played at Dodgers Stadium instead

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>of Canada, and who knows, with home field advantage, it

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe doesn't go seven games for the Dodgers last year.

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, the division, I'm not going to say it's over,

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>but ah, the Eggs are cooling right now. But it's

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 2>about getting a first round by, and it's about understanding

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>every game counts because one game can decide whether or

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.479
<v Speaker 2>not you have home field advantage in an NLCS or even.

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 4>In the World Series.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure the Dodgers are very aware of that,

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and I do believe Max Muncy and I feel like

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 2>people don't give these Dodgers enough credit. They know how

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 2>to win. They're not experienced, they know how to win,

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>all right. As we continue until eight o'clock. We got

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.840

<v Speaker 2>of the season.

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's it's been a

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 7>fun season so far, and hopefully the second half, you know,

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:54.760
<v Speaker 7>we get off to a good start. Obviously we got

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 7>there two good teams in the in the Yankees and

0:22:58.119 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 7>the Phillies, and obviously the Mets are hard to play

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 7>at the so you know, this should be a good

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 7>fun road trip and kick it off here and you'd

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 7>be ready to go.

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 2>You were just explaining to me how you can only

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.679
<v Speaker 2>control what you can control and you're always in the moment.

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.760
<v Speaker 2>But when you do get to Yankee Stadium for the

0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 2>first time, will the memories come back of the way

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Game five and twenty four went down with Blake trying

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.120
<v Speaker 2>in and Walker Buehler and you guys winning the front

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>end of these back to back championships.

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, I'm sure some of the memories will

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.479
<v Speaker 7>start to come back, you know. I mean, it is

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 7>kind of surreal to think it's been almost two years

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 7>since we've you know, we've been there, and you know,

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 7>it was a special moment. For sure, it'll come back,

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 7>you know, the way just kind of the game unravel,

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 7>the way guys were into it, the way guys stepped up,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 7>you know, through that whole, you know, and two years

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 7>ago when we wanted it was our bullpen that was

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 7>able to put on a kind of a masterclass of

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 7>passing the baton and picking each other up. And it

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 7>was really fun to be a part of and watch

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 7>these guys go out and perform. And so yeah, I mean,

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, the way that game started off, you never

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 7>thought that, you know, three hours later or whatever we

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 7>ended at that night, you know that, you know, Walker

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 7>of all people would be you know, throwing a curve

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 7>ball to finish the game. And and so it's it

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 7>definitely brings back memories. You know, usually maybe I'll go

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 7>out on the field, you know, the day before, and

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 7>you know, you walk around and you think about all

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:24.880
<v Speaker 7>these things, and especially with playoffs, you feel like every

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:26.719
<v Speaker 7>time you play them, no matter if it's you know,

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 7>two weeks later or two years later, it feels like

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 7>it was just yesterday, So there will be a lot

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 7>of probably emotions good and bad, you know, a lot

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 7>of memories of just like the behind the scenes processes

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 7>that go on. But then like once you know, you

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.679
<v Speaker 7>get into the pregame ritual of it, it all just

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 7>goes right back to what it is every single day,

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:46.120
<v Speaker 7>and it's about winning the tonight's ball game and trying

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 7>to put you know, the best you know performance and

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 7>put guys out there in the best position of it

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.400
<v Speaker 7>to succeed. So you enjoy it, but then you move

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:54.639
<v Speaker 7>on pretty quickly.

0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.679
<v Speaker 2>You might have Blake trending back on this road trip.

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 2>How much do we forget how big of role he

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>played to handle the ball to Bueler in the ninth inning.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.119
<v Speaker 7>I mean, he was unbelievable that whole playoffs. And you know,

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:11.239
<v Speaker 7>Freddie obviously, you know, wins the MVP for for his

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:14.680
<v Speaker 7>heroics and what he did and sustains, you know, from

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.679
<v Speaker 7>an offensive standpoint, but it's almost like you need like

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 7>a pitching MVP sometimes and and I don't think it's

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 7>a stretch to say that he was the pitching MVP

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 7>of that, of that of that season, or of that

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 7>you know, that playoff run. You know, going in multiple innings,

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 7>multiple times, coming in in some of the hottest situations

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 7>that you can put anybody in, whether you're you know,

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 7>a reliever or starter, and he just kept performing, kept

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 7>getting outs, kept getting big outs, big moments, keeping the momentum,

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 7>you know, either on our side or stomping their momentum.

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.800
<v Speaker 7>And then what he did in game five where he

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 7>just was able to just kind of bear down and

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.679
<v Speaker 7>get a few more outs because the reality is is,

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:56.719
<v Speaker 7>you know, we didn't have anybody else after Walker. You know,

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 7>we didn't know find out how to see it. You know,

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 7>if we don't win that game, who knows what happened

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 7>grad wal walked off that mound. We knew he was hurt,

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.639
<v Speaker 7>you know in that game. You know, Daniel Hudson, you know,

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 7>hurt his elbow warming up for that game. So there

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 7>was a lot of things that went on where Blake

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 7>just kind of was able to kind of you know, wash,

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 7>you know, put a cloth kind of over all those

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:20.119
<v Speaker 7>things that would have come out the next day but

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 7>never did because he was able to get us to

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 7>a position where at least we took our shot with Walker,

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 7>and everything, you know, worked out. But he was unbelievable

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 7>that year, and yeah, we probably do forget how great

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 7>he was. And unfortunately, you know, last year was you

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 7>know a little bit of a struggle and so far

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 7>this year has been a little bit of a struggle.

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 7>But he looks healthy and so we're excited to get

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 7>him back and be a big part of this again.

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Mark, you just came up with a great idea

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.639
<v Speaker 2>that I'm going to start the trend on in the

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 2>World Series. In the regular season, we have an MVP

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 2>and we have a cy Young. Why not in the

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>World Series a pitching MVP and a player MVP.

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:58.680
<v Speaker 4>I like what you just came up with.

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:01.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well, well, you know that was good two years ago,

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 7>and then you know, Yamamoto just kind of bucked that

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 7>train and just took care of it himself. So but

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:08.919
<v Speaker 7>you know, I mean, I do think there is you know,

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 7>there's an offensive side of it and then there's the

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:13.159
<v Speaker 7>pitching side, and sometimes maybe they do need to be

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 7>you know, if we are you know, at that point,

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 7>nobody even cares though about the individual awards, So I

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 7>think that's just for us to talk about afterwards. But

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 7>you know, there's there's always every every postseason there's always

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 7>big moments from a hitter. There's always big moments in

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 7>big you know, things done by pitchers or you don't.

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 7>Some of them you don't expect, and some of them

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 7>you do expect. It's just what makes the game so

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:39.160
<v Speaker 7>great is that we show up every day. You really

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 7>have no idea what might happen, because things just play

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 7>out differently every day.

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodger's pitching coach, Mark Pryor is our guest. All right, Mark,

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 2>The debate rages on about show Hao Tani and the

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 2>two way situation.

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 4>At thirty two years old, had his left knee.

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Draine received an injection during the All Star break. How

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 2>do you see managing go Tani the second half of

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 2>the year.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 7>You know, I'm pretty much the same way we've always

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 7>managed to. You know, we we go kind of day

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 7>by day or start to start, and obviously there's a

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 7>week between those starts usually and we're trying to listen

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 7>to the show as much as possible. I mean to

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 7>be able to him to manage his worklow between the hitting.

0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 7>You know, how much he's on the base pass. You know,

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:24.119
<v Speaker 7>sometimes I think dictates that. You know, we all like

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 7>it when it goes over the park early over the fence,

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 7>it's easier to kind of jog around the bases. But

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 7>we just kind of go day by day, you know,

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:34.360
<v Speaker 7>and see where we're at. And so we'll just continue

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 7>to kind of take that philosophy and then try to

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 7>really understand where he's at. And if there's moments where

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.160
<v Speaker 7>it's not you know, perfect between the knee or whatever,

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 7>he's just fatigued and tired from you know, playing the game,

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 7>then we have to adjust. And I think that you know,

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 7>we've kind of calculated that into you know, how we

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 7>built the staff and what we have to do. That's

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 7>usually why we've kind of put him in certain days,

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 7>you know, through the first half of the season on Wednesdays,

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 7>so hopefully capture those oft ENAs is. So, I mean,

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 7>there's all those things. We try to use those tools

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 7>at our advantage, but at the end of the day,

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 7>it's you know, really trying to get an understanding of

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 7>where he's at day to day, and and that's kind

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 7>of how we've played it out these last year and

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 7>a half as he's pitched, and I feel like that's

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 7>probably just the way we're going to continue to go

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 7>the second half and then you know, things come up,

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 7>we'll make decisions accordingly.

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 2>You were a right handed pitcher, so you understand the

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 2>landing league and the force that comes down with the

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 2>size of a guy like Otani. How much is that

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 2>compromised And do you feel like whatever the draining and

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 2>the quarterzone did can can ease the pain?

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? Not a not a doctor with the knee, I could.

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 7>I can tell you some things about the shoulder, but

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, it's it's real. I mean, I mean when

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 7>you're talking about lower half, you know, no matter what,

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:50.080
<v Speaker 7>whether you're pitching or hitting, I mean, it's obviously a

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 7>huge part of everybody's and what they do and how

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:56.120
<v Speaker 7>you impact the ground and generate force. So you know,

0:29:56.240 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 7>landing on your left knee and going into your you know,

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 7>your lead leg block as we call it. And if

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 7>it's compromising a little bit, yeah, it's gonna put some

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 7>stresses on the other parts of the body as well

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 7>as maybe some diminished you know, velocity or stuff. And

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 7>only really he can be the one to articulate how

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:15.080
<v Speaker 7>much that is bothering him. We can see it in

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 7>some of the numbers, but those can be misleading because

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 7>he is a big, strong, powerful guy, and you know,

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 7>we play in a game with the league compensators. They

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 7>find other ways to be able to perform at their

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 7>max level, even if it's not the most efficient way.

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.239
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, it's something that we're definitely keep an eye

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 7>on as much as we can. And again, we go

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 7>back to show and hope that he is our take

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 7>articulating to us how he's feeling and how it is

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 7>impacting his pitching, if it is impacting his pitching, and

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 7>then we'll just make decisions based on what's best for

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 7>the team after that.

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, Mark Pryor, Dodgers pitching coach, is our guest

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk until eight o'clock tonight here on AM five

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 2>seventy LA Sports. The Dodgers open up the second half

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 2>in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium.

0:30:57.640 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 11>Before I let you go, you're the pitching coach.

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 2>The pitcher catcher relationship is so important as well as

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 2>with the pitching coach. How do you feel like Dalton

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Rushing is starting to keep the focus of his defense

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and not letting the offense bleed over?

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean I think he's getting better. I mean,

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.719
<v Speaker 7>it's we talked about this beforehand. I mean, it's one

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 7>of the most impactful and demanding positions that there is

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 7>on this field. You know, shortstop obviously, you know it

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 7>plays out, you know from a defensive standpoint, but you're

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 7>not sitting back there trying to catch pitches, call pitches,

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 7>have an understanding of every game situation. Clearly, he's he

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 7>wants to hit as he should. He is a good hitter,

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 7>and he's proved that at the at the minor leagues,

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 7>and he's working his way at the big league level

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:44.320
<v Speaker 7>to sustain that offensive production. We've seen it with Will

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:46.000
<v Speaker 7>We saw it with Will Smith. You know in twenty

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 7>and twenty one. He had a lot of you know,

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 7>similar you know, maybe not as public growing pains and

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 7>as far as like just understanding, you know, the experience

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 7>you need experience at this level. The game is fast,

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 7>it moves quick. Pitt are changing constantly what they're doing.

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 7>It's not where it used to be like, oh, here's

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 7>a guy throws a fastball slider and it stays that way.

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.120
<v Speaker 7>These guys will change pitches from outing to outing, and

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 7>it's sometimes it is hard to keep up. I think

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 7>he's been he's been great. You know, he's had his

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 7>moments where he's you know, probably got a little bit

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 7>too emotional and the hitting stuff, and we've talked about that.

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 7>I do my best to get these guys' space because

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 7>I do want them to feel like they can you know,

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 7>they do play the other side of the baseball. These

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 7>guys have an offensive you know, skill set that they

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 7>need to be able to impact the team. But at

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 7>the end of the day, when they you know, when

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 7>you walk up these steps, like you got to be

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 7>a catcher first, and and I know Doc talks about it,

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 7>We talk about it is kind of a servant industry

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 7>as being a catcher, and I think he's starting to

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 7>understand that. You know, when we have conversations in the dugout,

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 7>he needs to be able to flip that script. He's

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 7>not an infield or outfielder where they can wait until

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 7>they hit the warning track to flip the script. He

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 7>needs to do it almost as soon as he takes

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 7>off his helmet and his batting gloves. And so he's

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 7>talked about it. He's he's committed to trying to improve

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 7>on that and really understand that, and we're gonna hold

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 7>him accountable to it. And so but I think overall,

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 7>he's been great. I think he's he's made moment. He's

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 7>had moments where he's you know, pivoted and called really

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 7>you know, aggressive pitch calling that we needed in certain situations.

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 7>And then he's also been burned by being too aggressive

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 7>with certain situations. And those are the things that back

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 7>and forth, they're never gonna get You're never gonna get

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 7>me perfect with it. And so I think he's improven

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 7>day to day. And I think, you know, you find

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 7>a guy who at the end of the year will

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 7>be able to go home and then he'll be able

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 7>to think and be able to kind of you know,

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 7>compartmentalize all these different experiences, and then hopefully next year,

0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 7>you know, he grows in more ways. So it's it's

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 7>it's just part of the game. And but our relationships great.

0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 7>He cares so deeply, and I think that's first and foremost.

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 7>He cares about winning, and he cares about his teammates.

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey, that's as honest of an answer I've gotten regarding

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing. I think everybody appreciates how much he cares.

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 2>But obviously, you know he's got some tough love from you.

0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, it's you know we've talked, Like I said,

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 7>we've we've talked here a handful of times, as a

0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.840
<v Speaker 7>lot of other people, and I support him as we

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:13.800
<v Speaker 7>all support him. I don't think there's anybody who doesn't

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 7>support him. But you know, our job is also to

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 7>to to try to shorten that learning curve as best

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 7>as possible, and the only way is to just be

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:22.759
<v Speaker 7>honest with him about like this needs to get better,

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 7>and he knows it. But again, it's not coming from

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 7>a selfish place. It's coming from almost a place of

0:34:29.120 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 7>caring too much how much he wants to do something

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:34.839
<v Speaker 7>to help this team win and help his teammates win.

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 7>And then just understand it's you know, best ares in baseball,

0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 7>Freddie Freeman, he's a three hundred hit. There's gonna be

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:43.080
<v Speaker 7>times where you do get out. There's gonna be times

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:44.839
<v Speaker 7>where you call the right pitch and a guy over

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 7>there who's getting paid a lot of money's gonna hit

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 7>the ball out of the park too. You know, Like

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 7>that's the give and take of understanding that this game

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 7>is not perfect and just because you might even have

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 7>the right process, you might not always get the right

0:34:57.080 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 7>result or the result that you intended so I said,

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 7>he's I think he's starting to come to understand that.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 7>And again, he's been great to work with and I

0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 7>don't want to like Bamy, and he's been really great

0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 7>to understand. And it's fun for us because this is

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.320
<v Speaker 7>part of our job as coaches, is to to develop

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 7>him and to a big league and kind of hopefully,

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, polish off some of the rough edges around

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.239
<v Speaker 7>it and make them, you know, hopefully going to make

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 7>them a finished product by the end of the year.

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Mark, thanks a lot for the time and being so candid.

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.839

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 2>beans or can I just bring you a bag of beans?

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:41.160

<v Speaker 4>I knew you were gonna say that, but I'm an

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:06.480

<v Speaker 11>I you know what, My kids and family would really

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 11>appreciate you talking like that, But for me, it's like

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 11>what else you got on the docket for today? The

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 11>people want to hear about the present. Let's go, Dave,

<v Speaker 2>to Yankee Stadium, those memories are not gonna fled through

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 2>your mind.

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 11>They always will. No, those are That was a gift.

0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:31.280
<v Speaker 11>That was a gift from God. I'm never gonna downplay

0:37:31.280 --> 0:37:33.480
<v Speaker 11>a Dave. I just thought you had twenty twenty six

0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:34.600
<v Speaker 11>aspirations to talk about.

0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 9>I do.

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:35.360
<v Speaker 4>I do.

0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's start with you in twenty twenty six.

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 2>How are you feeling and do you feel like you

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 2>can contribute the second half of the season.

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, absolutely, I feel really good. Just a little hiccup

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 11>with with some wear and tear, and everything.

0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:49.480
<v Speaker 7>Feels really good.

0:37:49.480 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 11>You had great reviews from the from the MRIs and

0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:54.640
<v Speaker 11>everything with the elbow, so yeah, now it's just you know,

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 11>you're down for seven or eight days, letting some swelling

0:37:56.920 --> 0:38:00.080
<v Speaker 11>go down and building back up. So yeah, should he

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 11>should be ready shortly here after the break starts back up.

0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Feels like there's a big crew of you guys that

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 2>is ready for the first home stand after the All

0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Star break. Key k Hernandez said he's coming back, Edwin

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Diaz said he only needs two or three more rehab appearances.

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Snell Zilla, the other blake in my life, is about

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.400
<v Speaker 2>to come back too. So it feels like, you guys

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 2>with the best record in baseball and you haven't even

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:24.359
<v Speaker 2>tapped into a lot of you guys the second half

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 2>of the year.

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it's a unique year, right, Like, anytime you can

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.080
<v Speaker 11>put up sixty wins, sixty plus wins in the first half,

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.160
<v Speaker 11>it's pretty incredible. And we've done it without ever being

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:34.839
<v Speaker 11>full strength. I think, I don't know if we've had

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:39.400
<v Speaker 11>anybody like we haven't had our full complement of assets

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 11>out there at the same time. And I think that

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 11>just goes to show how well this organization provides depth

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:48.320
<v Speaker 11>and how committed they are to winning. You know, we

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 11>get people like Snow and Glass and Diaz and key K.

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:53.719
<v Speaker 7>And will back.

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 11>It's like, man, we were in such a great spot

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 11>and Yeah, so just get everybody ready down the stretch,

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 11>be ready at the right time, Like we're all trying

0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:03.360
<v Speaker 11>to play one hundred and sixty two games, minus me

0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 11>because I'm a reliever. But yeah, the biggest thing is

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 11>can we be full strength and clicking at the right

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 11>time of year. And you know, for the most part,

0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 11>since I've been here, it's a pretty good track record.

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:16.359
<v Speaker 11>There's only been a couple years. I think you can

0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:18.279
<v Speaker 11>say we've been pretty frustrated with the results at the

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:21.319
<v Speaker 11>end of the year. So yeah, this try to run

0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:23.600
<v Speaker 11>something down that's pretty special here in twenty six.

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Can you explain the difference between an experienced team and

0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a team that knows how to win? Because there are

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:34.080
<v Speaker 2>other teams that are out there experience, but they don't

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 2>know how to win the way you guys have learned

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:37.320
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years.

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 11>That's a hard question to answer because there's a lot

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 11>of people on every team that know how to win.

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 11>It's just as a collective, can you put it together

0:39:47.320 --> 0:39:49.160
<v Speaker 11>at the right time? And the hardest thing. The best

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 11>way I can explain it is executing every out until

0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 11>the last out and not giving away out because in

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 11>the playoffs, every out is magnified. We've seen it happen

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 11>for us and against us, and if you look at

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:06.600
<v Speaker 11>our World Series runs, there's always something small. It's like

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.439
<v Speaker 11>for all the kids out there doing the little things

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:12.279
<v Speaker 11>right that have either helped us or hurt us. And

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 11>the last two years it's helped us a lot, you know,

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 11>over the last you know. And it's not like these

0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:19.759
<v Speaker 11>players are doing anything that are so egregious. It's like,

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.160
<v Speaker 11>you know, it's just like a slight mental laps. And

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:26.719
<v Speaker 11>in the playoffs everything matters. So and if you give

0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 11>a team a foothold, you've seen like we've got a

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 11>guy right here taking ground ball. It's like he ran

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:34.360
<v Speaker 11>out a ball in New York that more times than not.

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:36.840
<v Speaker 11>I mean it was miscommunication, right, So like it's not

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 11>like it happens. It just sucks, like for those players

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:41.840
<v Speaker 11>that it happened in that on that stage in that game.

0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 11>But Mooki, that doesn't even happen if Mooki's not busting

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:46.560
<v Speaker 11>at one hundred percent down the line. So those are

0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 11>little things that kids should pay attention to. So when

0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 11>you talk about like winning, it's it's not taking anything off.

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 11>Every bat matters, every pitch matters. Every ball that you

0:40:55.840 --> 0:40:58.439
<v Speaker 11>run out matters. Every ground ball you feel and throw

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 11>is with a purpose. And that's what this team does

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 11>extremely well without any lapse. And I think that is

0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:06.759
<v Speaker 11>the difference maker because we played Toronto, who is a

0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.879
<v Speaker 11>super hot team, and honestly, you know you could run

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 11>that back. However, many times if one play doesn't go

0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:13.600
<v Speaker 11>our way to those last two games, we could be

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:15.560
<v Speaker 11>not having a chance to run down three in a

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.560
<v Speaker 11>row because they were so good in New York. Was

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 11>a phenomenal team that we just had two hot games

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.279
<v Speaker 11>here at home and the pressure led back in New York.

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 11>We played hot and we beat him at the right

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:29.680
<v Speaker 11>time because their offense was getting going to So we're

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.880
<v Speaker 11>talking about like winning culture. It's just from top to

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 11>bottom is there like this desire to win above all else.

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:38.800
<v Speaker 11>And this team is bought in because they were tired

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 11>of having the heartbreak of going home early. Ever since

0:41:42.320 --> 0:41:45.880
<v Speaker 11>twenty twenty one, two and three, it's like, how are

0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:47.959
<v Speaker 11>we getting outed when we feel like we've got teams

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:49.760
<v Speaker 11>to make deep runs, if not win a World Series.

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 11>So finally it's stuck in twenty four with our backs

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:54.280
<v Speaker 11>against the wall. I mean, we didn't we lost glass

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 11>Now in Atlanta? Yeah, you know, and that was that

0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.600
<v Speaker 11>was a back breaker. And then last year, you know,

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 11>our started were phenomenal and we wrote them. So it's

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:04.160
<v Speaker 11>just such a wild thing. We'll see what this year

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 11>has has a whole.

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Blake trying to is our guest three time World Series champion.

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I know you said don't look back, but that day

0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 2>that glass Now went down, everybody talks about what Dave

0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Robert said in Atlanta.

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 4>To try to pick everybody up.

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:22.960
<v Speaker 2>What has he done in the last couple of years

0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 2>to really help you guys get over the finish line

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:25.919
<v Speaker 2>as well?

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 11>Well, managers have a unique role, right so you know, yeah,

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.680
<v Speaker 11>they're not the ones playing the game. They're they do.

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 11>We've got coaches like like Woodward out here and an

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:40.080
<v Speaker 11>evil and and and you know, I'm gonna forget everybody else.

0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:41.319
<v Speaker 11>I don't see him right now, so I can't really

0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 11>corn him out. But we've got all these these coaches

0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 11>who commit so much time to our craft individually, and

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 11>and Dave's job is to find the way to push

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:50.520
<v Speaker 11>the right buttons, you know, like when do you when

0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.359
<v Speaker 11>do you actually pull out a speech? Because I'm sure

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 11>there's times where he's like, I should address the guys. Now,

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 11>let's let them try to figure out on their own.

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.640
<v Speaker 11>So it's like parenting a little bit. How do you

0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 11>parent adults to where you let them have their growth

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:03.520
<v Speaker 11>and then also force some growth on them. And Dave

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:07.080
<v Speaker 11>does a great job of pushing the right buttons, and

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:09.600
<v Speaker 11>you know, the thing that he does well is reminding

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:10.960
<v Speaker 11>us like, you know, we're the Dodgers and no one

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:12.880
<v Speaker 11>feels sorry for you. And if you don't like it,

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:17.440
<v Speaker 11>then you know sign somewhere else. So the lights are

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:20.319
<v Speaker 11>different here they are and I think what's cool is

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 11>like when you've played here for a while, there's always

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:27.360
<v Speaker 11>people will say, oh, I relish the pressure of performing

0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:29.759
<v Speaker 11>with a team of expectations to win a World Series

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:33.839
<v Speaker 11>every year. I say bs, because until you've actually lived

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:35.320
<v Speaker 11>it and tried to run it down, there was always

0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:39.879
<v Speaker 11>that nerve of man, there's like, no, there's no relaxing

0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:42.880
<v Speaker 11>moment when you have that. Well, when you're here and

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:46.000
<v Speaker 11>you see the winning culture and you know that is

0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 11>the expectation and you grow through those nerves and now

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:51.440
<v Speaker 11>there's like actually peace, It's like, yeah, we know the

0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:55.319
<v Speaker 11>World Series is the is the goal every year and

0:43:55.400 --> 0:43:59.320
<v Speaker 11>the standard, and it's not like there's any extra pressure.

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 11>It's like learning to ride your bike. You know, you're

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 11>trying to do what feels normal. And that's not a

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:07.359
<v Speaker 11>knock to the league. It is extremely hard to win

0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 11>one game, let alone the last game of the year,

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:12.840
<v Speaker 11>but it's knowing, like what you're capable of doing and

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 11>what you prepare for. And we have a lot of

0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:17.040
<v Speaker 11>guys who hold each other accountable, and so Dave does

0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:18.880
<v Speaker 11>a great job of pushing buttons when it needs to

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 11>and reminding us who we are and our identity as

0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:25.200
<v Speaker 11>players in this game. So from top to bottom, you

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:29.040
<v Speaker 11>have to go to the top. You Mark Walters. Then

0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:33.520
<v Speaker 11>we go to Friedman who designs and crafts this thing

0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:35.200
<v Speaker 11>that the fans get to love and enjoy.

0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:37.360
<v Speaker 4>He found Blake Trnon out of Oakland.

0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I was actually kicked to the curve and he's like, hey,

0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 11>this guy needs a job.

0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:43.400
<v Speaker 7>Let's see if you'll signing.

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:46.800
<v Speaker 11>With us, and yeah, so then I've been blessed ever since.

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:49.920
<v Speaker 2>So Blake Chrinan is our guest. The Dodgers open up

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:53.360
<v Speaker 2>in New York against the Yankees. Okay, I've talked to

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Freeman about this. I've talked to Clayton Krushaw during

0:44:56.760 --> 0:45:00.920
<v Speaker 2>last season. They both have said that they allow themselves

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy the moments more at this stage of their career.

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:07.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no guarantees that you pitched next year, do you well?

0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. Are you do?

0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:11.000
<v Speaker 2>You want to make that announcement and I'm busted. I

0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 2>think this could be the last dance. It could be

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:14.600
<v Speaker 2>it could be the last dance.

0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:16.920
<v Speaker 11>I have no idea. I gotta talk to my family.

0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:18.839
<v Speaker 11>I gotta pray about it. See if doors are open?

0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Is this the last dance?

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Dave?

0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:25.440
<v Speaker 11>I have to get back from the il first, okay,

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:27.400
<v Speaker 11>and then when I do that, I want to be

0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:29.880
<v Speaker 11>electric so that fans have something to cheer for and

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:33.880
<v Speaker 11>not boo, and then win a world series. Let me

0:45:34.000 --> 0:45:34.400
<v Speaker 11>enjoy that.

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:35.319
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:36.759
<v Speaker 4>Are you allowing yourself to enchain?

0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 11>Here's the question, David? Right, I have the mic, Dave?

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:40.399
<v Speaker 11>Is this your last year?

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 4>Every year?

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:43.239
<v Speaker 2>It could be my last year. I'm on a one

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:46.560
<v Speaker 2>year dealer. That's a ride comment. It's unbelievable. I'm coming back.

0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm coming back.

0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 11>I have some confidence too.

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:50.040
<v Speaker 4>I'll be back next year. You gotta pollo.

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:51.839
<v Speaker 7>Now you actually look put together. You're coming back.

0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I said I would reach job security. I said when

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw retired, I would retire. But then Freddie's still here,

0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trenton still here. You guys are going for the three,

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:01.600
<v Speaker 2>so I gotta stick around.

0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.279
<v Speaker 11>So you're greedy, I want more?

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:06.520
<v Speaker 4>All right, you're greedy too, And in the ring, I

0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:07.240
<v Speaker 4>have an attitude.

0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:08.239
<v Speaker 7>Your attitude, your deal, Dave.

0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:10.399
<v Speaker 11>I gotta I gotta live up to my expectations. Let's

0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 11>go now, I'm a little bit on the on the

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:11.919
<v Speaker 11>light side.

0:46:11.920 --> 0:46:12.400
<v Speaker 7>I gotta get it.

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:15.879
<v Speaker 4>I gotta start lifting some heavyweight. When will you pitch again, Dave?

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:17.719
<v Speaker 11>There's a process. I don't know if you've is this

0:46:17.800 --> 0:46:20.719
<v Speaker 11>your first year round baseball. I'm gonna explain to you

0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 11>something when when somebody, when somebody has an ailment that

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:26.000
<v Speaker 11>keeps them from performing at the ability that the that

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 11>the organization expects, it's called I l you go to

0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 11>the iell okay, and when you're on the aisle. That

0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 11>means you have to recover from something. Once you're in

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:35.840
<v Speaker 11>a place where you can throw the ball, then you

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:38.560
<v Speaker 11>gotta build back up. Once you build back up, like hey,

0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 11>now you can touch the mound for a bullpen. When

0:46:40.239 --> 0:46:42.080
<v Speaker 11>you throw a bullpen and it goes well, then you

0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:44.719
<v Speaker 11>move on to facing hitters. When you face hitters ball,

0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 11>then you go to your rehab assignment, and if you

0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:48.600
<v Speaker 11>make it through that, then you come back to that.

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:50.120
<v Speaker 4>You don't need to rehab the assignment.

0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 11>Listen, we can have that debate another time.

0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:56.600
<v Speaker 4>All right, I'm declaring you ready, how about that?

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:58.719
<v Speaker 11>Thank you? We need you to my next live. You

0:46:58.719 --> 0:46:59.360
<v Speaker 11>can come stand in.

0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:00.640
<v Speaker 4>I would love that.

0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:02.799
<v Speaker 11>It's a win win for you. You're expected to punch out,

0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 11>You're expected. We need an arm guardoks, we don't need

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:09.640
<v Speaker 11>another broken arm. Okay, and maybe a shin guard in

0:47:09.719 --> 0:47:11.239
<v Speaker 11>case you do touch it and filed off your shins.

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:12.959
<v Speaker 4>Would you come inside the kitchen.

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:16.799
<v Speaker 11>Always you need to feel it and understand that. Like

0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:20.120
<v Speaker 11>I'm League average at ninety five, and there's guys that

0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:22.920
<v Speaker 11>throw one hundred and five now, okay, figure.

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:23.000
<v Speaker 1>That one out.

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:24.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but they're not as nasty as you.

0:47:24.600 --> 0:47:27.040
<v Speaker 11>I mean, Mishowski's pretty gross, and so's Chatman. So I

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:29.879
<v Speaker 11>think we're and uh Miller, Mason Miller's.

<v Speaker 2>Hey, Blake, I know you don't like me seeing these

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:56.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of things, but I appreciate everything you've done for

0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. You've left it all out there on the mound,

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're far from over. I tell Freddy that I

0:48:02.040 --> 0:48:04.560
<v Speaker 2>told Kershaw that you're far from over, so you got

0:48:04.560 --> 0:48:05.200
<v Speaker 2>more in the tank.

0:48:05.360 --> 0:48:07.200
<v Speaker 11>Appreciate you. We'll be done when God says it's done.

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:08.759
<v Speaker 11>So all right, just pray about it and then we
