Now, Tyler, 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it. 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks dude, Thanks for having me. 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: Hey, you're a hard guy to pin down. You're always 8 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: on the move, which is a good thing. 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so it depends who you ask. 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: What's the spring been like for you as far as 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: the comfort level now being in the organization for a 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: couple of years. 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: Good, it feels like normal, kind of like last year. 14 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: Just you got your your routine. You're in and out 15 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: all day long, just doing everything like stretching, lifting, throwing, 16 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: all that, all the good stuff. So everything feels good. 17 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: I feel healthy. 18 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: When do you hear pictures as they transform from you know, 19 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: in their early twenties to when they start to get 20 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: closer to thirty years old, they say they evolve and 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: adjust things as far as their routine. Have you adjusted 22 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: anything in the last three four years? 23 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I think it's just certain like stuff 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: you do before, like certain movements you find that like 25 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: kind of get you ard up a little quicker to 26 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 2: try to expedite stuff so you're not in there for 27 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: so long. And then like lifting philosophies, I guess they 28 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: used to lift really heavy and like do a lot 29 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: more power based stuff. So I think now it's more 30 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: just like maintaining and like being strong within like all 31 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: of your mobility and being strong in end range and 32 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: and all that stuff, So not as much like like 33 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: meat headlifting. I'd say, Yeah, what. 34 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: Is the balance between being strong but yet being flexible 35 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: as a. 36 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: Picture, Yeah, I think it's I just it's kind of 37 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: depends on who you are. Like, if you're already kind 38 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: of prone to being more more flexible, you're a bendy guy, 39 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: you probably do like a little bit more stability stuff 40 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: and maybe like you can do a little bit more 41 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: strength stuff. And if you're tight wound, you probably back 42 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: off from the lifting and do a lot more like 43 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: tissue and stretching and stuff like that. So just it's 44 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: kind of like everyone has their own formula. 45 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now is our guest, how much are you 46 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: looking forward to not just opening day with the Dodgers, 47 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: but the second day of the season. When you get 48 00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: your ring. 49 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, that'll be great, super excited, been looking 50 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: forward to it. It'll be nice to just add to 51 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: the collection, and hopefully we get another one this year. 52 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Have you during the offseason did you ever look back 53 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: replay the way Game six ended or have you kind 54 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: of stayed away from that more mentally? 55 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: I'd say, I mean, I've seen like the like highlight 56 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: videos ever where I feel like a lot of times 57 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: you look on like TV and it's you know what 58 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: I mean, It's just like it's there a lot and 59 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: it's like the throat from Kik and the pick for 60 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: Miggy and everything. So I haven't gone back and like 61 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: watching in full, but I think like mentally I've gone 62 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: back through it a few times. 63 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: Was it somewhat of an out of body experience when 64 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: you're in it? 65 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: Sort of? Yeah. It was like just happened so fast. 66 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: So I hasn't got ending ended, and it was just 67 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: it happened so quick, and I kind of just looked around. 68 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, wow, okay, cool games, haven't it 69 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: just Yeah, like I said, it just happened so quick, 70 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: and there was a little bit of like out of 71 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: body going on for sure. 72 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: Everybody talks about the game ending double play, rightfully, so 73 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: great play. But you getting Ernie Clement, who had seen 74 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: so many pitches in that World Series on the first 75 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: pitch to get the first out. How much did that 76 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: change to the complexion of the inning. 77 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: I think it's definitely helpful. I think to come in 78 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: with no outs. I think a pitcher's best friend is 79 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: definitely getting out one. It's kind of like a nice feeling, 80 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: especially on an early early swing. I think when they 81 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: get guys on scoring position, like anytime there was a 82 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: guy on third or second, they definitely all got like 83 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 2: really aggressive. So I think just trying to get that 84 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: two seam up and in who I don't really throw 85 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: that to rieties that often, so I think you thought 86 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: it was a four seamer and then popped it up. 87 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: But it does give you like a little surge of 88 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: adrenaline and or like a little surge of confidence and 89 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: then just kind of be able to settle into the 90 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: inning and like finish the job. 91 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: When you think about Tyler Glass now as a Dodger, 92 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: You've made the most starts in your career in one season, 93 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: you made the All Star team, and now you're a 94 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: back to back World Series champion. You talked about earlier 95 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: this spring letting go and trusting the staff. Does all 96 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: of that success allow you to trust everybody? 97 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just more about getting to know 98 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: the people and like kind of understanding what they know 99 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: about everything and just having those conversations. I don't necessarily 100 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: know if like winning is like the biggest driver of trust. 101 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: I think it's just kind of getting to know people 102 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: and like understanding what everyone knows. And I just think 103 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: everyone here is just so skilled and know so much 104 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: that it is easy to trust everyone here. 105 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: And do you believe that they understand what makes Tyler 106 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: Glass now the best as well? Uh? 107 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: I don't know about the best, but yeah, they understand 108 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: me extremely well. They definitely do. I think as the 109 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: years have gone on to like, it's been really cool 110 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: to be here too. I think some like I am 111 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: maybe like unique in the sense of I think everyone's 112 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: unique in the sense of what they need throughout the season, 113 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: but they've all done such a good job of being 114 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: all right, this is kind of how you are, Like 115 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 2: we can give you this stuff, but like you're still 116 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: yourself and we'll try to work with you on how 117 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: you are, which is just like such a blessing and 118 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 2: it's just a sign of like a really good organization. 119 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: How much did Dave Roberts challenging you last year kind 120 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: of change your season and just change the mentality going 121 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: into this season. 122 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: It didn't really, I think. I think it's just yeah, 123 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: I think once you do, I think that's kind of 124 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: what the postseason is. I think being in it before 125 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: you know, like all the rules change, there's no rules, 126 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: you just all hands on deck. And I knew that 127 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: going in. I knew Doc would would do that. And 128 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: I think especially early on, knowing like well the starters 129 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: were coming out of the bullpen, it was like, clearly, 130 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: this is going to be kind of how it is 131 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: all postseasons, so you kind of have to just get 132 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: ready for everything. But him trusting me was awesome, Like 133 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: putting me in those big situations. It means a lot 134 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 2: to me, and I felt ready for him, And I 135 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: think as far as preparation goes, I keep it the same, 136 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: but like, just no, that's kind of how we roll 137 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 2: in the postseason and just try not to get to 138 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: like set into your ways and just be comfortable being uncomfortable. 139 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I love that. I think we all 140 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: need to learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. 141 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: Sure, why not? 142 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: Right now I'm in this clubhouse. You always to keep 143 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: your head on a swivel in this place. 144 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're good at it, man, You're very good at it.
