Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassaying for Dodger Talker.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are back in LA with a two to
Speaker 1: zero series lead in the NLCS and a big part
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers championship last year is a big part
Speaker 1: of the team this year, and that's the one and
Speaker 1: only Alex Sevessia. Alex, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I Uh, I would say the last two games have
Speaker 3: not I've not been a big part our starting pitching
Speaker 3: has been unbelievable.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to ask you for. You always
Speaker 1: want to be in the game. But what's it like
Speaker 1: in that bullpen when you got Snelling Yamamoto deal in
Speaker 1: the way they were.
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, watching watching them go about their business,
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty special. I mean the you know, the
Speaker 3: last two games, we have needed them and they have
Speaker 3: been you know, they've been amazing. So you know, obviously
Speaker 3: we had the bullpen dogs last year. Are we going
Speaker 3: with like the Stallions the whole? What do we you know,
Speaker 3: what do we come on?
Speaker 2: David's we gotta come up with a with I.
Speaker 3: Guess because uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, they they've been doing it.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's been unreal obviously, you know, Snell
Speaker 3: set in the tone and then you know, yam, I
Speaker 3: mean yeah, one one after another, you know, and then
Speaker 3: you know it's like we got glass now and show
Speaker 3: you know, to to also. I mean these these four games,
Speaker 3: the starting pitching is stacked. So you know, for myself,
Speaker 3: I watched the game and and go about my business
Speaker 3: and if my name is called upon, great, If not,
Speaker 3: you know, it's all good.
Speaker 2: You know the other night, I.
Speaker 3: Was depending on score, depending on situation, if a guy
Speaker 3: got a hit or whatnot, I could have gone in
Speaker 3: the game. I was ready for that. And you know
Speaker 3: it's all hands are on deck, and you know that's that's.
Speaker 2: What this team is doing so well right now, is
Speaker 2: that you.
Speaker 3: Know we we're we're all bought in. You know, every
Speaker 3: everybody has contributed one way or another. You know, whether
Speaker 3: it's in a super big spot or whether it's just
Speaker 3: a pinch run. Are coming to the game and get
Speaker 3: one out, like you know, the small details we're doing it.
Speaker 1: How much do we take for granted with guys like
Speaker 1: yourself and Blake trying over here that had been to
Speaker 1: the mountain top.
Speaker 3: You're shouna get Alex in a game one time, but
Speaker 3: if he doesn't. At your job, you got to ask questions,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 2: Edit edit cut cut, cut cut This.
Speaker 1: One really sideways anyway back to Alex Vesia.
Speaker 2: Here all your fault, this is all your fall, Dave,
Speaker 2: you did this.
Speaker 1: It's open mic.
Speaker 2: Before game three, I hope.
Speaker 3: That our starters are so electric if they all throw
Speaker 3: complete games in me and Alex just get to watch
Speaker 3: how great they are.
Speaker 2: That's sounds like a plan to me. Tune tune some
Speaker 2: bubble gum, drinking some red bull in the bullpen. I'm in, yep,
Speaker 2: maximize the d dry throws.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, it's uh, you know, October baseball
Speaker 3: is is the best.
Speaker 2: I never take it for granted.
Speaker 3: And you know, we play one game at a time,
Speaker 3: so well here, you know, and just you know, at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, we lean on one another
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse, and you know, we've got a lot
Speaker 3: of leaders and guys that lead by example, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's just it's hard to like talk about it in
Speaker 3: certain aspects of this game, but you know, throughout one
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two games, I mean, we really do
Speaker 3: get close. You know, we we are brothers, and day
Speaker 3: in and day out, we grind for one another and
Speaker 3: root for one another. And you know that's when when
Speaker 3: the games are as big as they are. I think
Speaker 3: that's what matters the most, is that you know we're
Speaker 3: all bought in.
Speaker 1: Do we take for granted guys like yourself and Blake
Speaker 1: and other guys in that bullpen doing what you did
Speaker 1: last year? You still need some positive reinforcement and still
Speaker 1: need to get your confidence lifted by each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that just goes like with
Speaker 3: our routines, like where that comes. You know, it's the
Speaker 3: work that we put in day in and day out
Speaker 3: that people don't see. You know, we're we're all like
Speaker 3: yesterday we had the off day. It was in an
Speaker 3: off day, right, we were here at two o'clock and
Speaker 3: everyone's working out and getting their bodies prepped, and then
Speaker 3: we have practice from four to six. And you know,
Speaker 3: it's a lot more than just showing up and playing
Speaker 3: the game at you know, whether it's seven o'clock or
Speaker 3: three o'clock, right, there's a lot more that goes into
Speaker 3: a lot of dedication. And I also think there's a
Speaker 3: lot of respect when you see guys that are showing
Speaker 3: up day in and day out and are ready, and
Speaker 3: you know they take it serious because you know, we
Speaker 3: all want to win.
Speaker 2: We all want to bring another championship back to.
Speaker 3: LA and it means a lot, so it you know,
Speaker 3: and that's from we talked about that early in the season,
Speaker 3: where you know, we do win a World Series in
Speaker 3: twenty four and what does the front office do? Go
Speaker 3: get guys. You know, like that's that's a huge boost
Speaker 3: of confidence. So it's like that's where you know, over
Speaker 3: the course of the season, Yeah, it's long, there's ups
Speaker 3: and downs, adversity and stuff like that, but then you know,
Speaker 3: October there is a breath of fresh air where things
Speaker 3: do come to reality.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, we're here for a reason.
Speaker 3: We wear this uniform for a reason because you know, Nasty,
Speaker 3: we're really good and you know, we believe in each other.
Speaker 3: So you know, obviously we got a ball game to win.
Speaker 2: And you know, for me, I'm I'm I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna come in as fired up as I usually am
Speaker 3: and you know, keep keep putting the pressure on.
Speaker 2: The Brewers. Love it.
Speaker 1: October and alex Vesia. They go together really well and
Speaker 1: can't wait to be around you guys for at least
Speaker 1: a couple of more weeks.
Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, I hope they do.
