Speaker 2: You know the other night, I.

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 3: Was depending on score, depending on situation, if a guy

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: got a hit or whatnot, I could have gone in

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: the game. I was ready for that. And you know

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: it's all hands are on deck, and you know that's that's.

39
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: What this team is doing so well right now, is

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: that you.

41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: Know we we're we're all bought in. You know, every

42
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: everybody has contributed one way or another. You know, whether

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: it's in a super big spot or whether it's just

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: a pinch run. Are coming to the game and get

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: one out, like you know, the small details we're doing it.

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: How much do we take for granted with guys like

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: yourself and Blake trying over here that had been to

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the mountain top.

49
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: You're shouna get Alex in a game one time, but

50
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: if he doesn't. At your job, you got to ask questions,

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: all right.

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: Edit edit cut cut, cut cut This.

53
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: One really sideways anyway back to Alex Vesia.

54
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: Here all your fault, this is all your fall, Dave,

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: you did this.

56
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: It's open mic.

57
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: Before game three, I hope.

58
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: That our starters are so electric if they all throw

59
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: complete games in me and Alex just get to watch

60
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: how great they are.

61
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: That's sounds like a plan to me. Tune tune some

62
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: bubble gum, drinking some red bull in the bullpen. I'm in, yep,

63
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: maximize the d dry throws.

64
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, it's uh, you know, October baseball

65
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: is is the best.

66
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: I never take it for granted.

67
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: And you know, we play one game at a time,

68
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: so well here, you know, and just you know, at

69
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: the end of the day, we lean on one another

70
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse, and you know, we've got a lot

71
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: of leaders and guys that lead by example, and you know,

72
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: it's just it's hard to like talk about it in

73
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: certain aspects of this game, but you know, throughout one

74
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two games, I mean, we really do

75
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: get close. You know, we we are brothers, and day

76
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: in and day out, we grind for one another and

77
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: root for one another. And you know that's when when

78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: the games are as big as they are. I think

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: that's what matters the most, is that you know we're

80
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: all bought in.

81
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: Do we take for granted guys like yourself and Blake

82
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: and other guys in that bullpen doing what you did

83
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: last year? You still need some positive reinforcement and still

84
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: need to get your confidence lifted by each other.

85
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that just goes like with

86
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: our routines, like where that comes. You know, it's the

87
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: work that we put in day in and day out

88
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: that people don't see. You know, we're we're all like

89
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: yesterday we had the off day. It was in an

90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: off day, right, we were here at two o'clock and

91
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: everyone's working out and getting their bodies prepped, and then

92
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: we have practice from four to six. And you know,

93
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: it's a lot more than just showing up and playing

94
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: the game at you know, whether it's seven o'clock or

95
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: three o'clock, right, there's a lot more that goes into

96
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: a lot of dedication. And I also think there's a

97
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: lot of respect when you see guys that are showing

98
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: up day in and day out and are ready, and

99
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: you know they take it serious because you know, we

100
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: all want to win.

101
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: We all want to bring another championship back to.

102
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: LA and it means a lot, so it you know,

103
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: and that's from we talked about that early in the season,

104
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: where you know, we do win a World Series in

105
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: twenty four and what does the front office do? Go

106
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: get guys. You know, like that's that's a huge boost

107
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: of confidence. So it's like that's where you know, over

108
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: the course of the season, Yeah, it's long, there's ups

109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: and downs, adversity and stuff like that, but then you know,

110
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: October there is a breath of fresh air where things

111
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: do come to reality.

112
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, we're here for a reason.

113
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: We wear this uniform for a reason because you know, Nasty,

114
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: we're really good and you know, we believe in each other.

115
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: So you know, obviously we got a ball game to win.

116
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480
