WEBVTT - Tyler Glasnow (3-16-26)

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey or Dodger Talker.

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>We're joined right now for the first time this spring

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>by Dodgers starting pitcher and a hero one of many

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>heroes of last year's World series, Tyler Glass. Now, Tyler,

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it.

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thanks dude, Thanks for having me.

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you're a hard guy to pin down. You're always

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>on the move, which is a good thing.

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess so it depends who you ask.

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>What's the spring been like for you as far as

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.319
<v Speaker 1>the comfort level now being in the organization for a

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of years.

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Good, it feels like normal, kind of like last year.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Just you got your your routine. You're in and out

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>all day long, just doing everything like stretching, lifting, throwing,

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>all that, all the good stuff. So everything feels good.

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel healthy.

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>When do you hear pictures as they transform from you know,

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in their early twenties to when they start to get

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>closer to thirty years old, they say they evolve and

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>adjust things as far as their routine. Have you adjusted

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>anything in the last three four years?

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure. I think it's just certain like stuff

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you do before, like certain movements you find that like

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of get you ard up a little quicker to

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>try to expedite stuff so you're not in there for

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>so long. And then like lifting philosophies, I guess they

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>used to lift really heavy and like do a lot

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>more power based stuff. So I think now it's more

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>just like maintaining and like being strong within like all

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of your mobility and being strong in end range and

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>and all that stuff, So not as much like like

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>meat headlifting. I'd say, Yeah, what.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Is the balance between being strong but yet being flexible

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>as a.

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Picture, Yeah, I think it's I just it's kind of

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>depends on who you are. Like, if you're already kind

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of prone to being more more flexible, you're a bendy guy,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>you probably do like a little bit more stability stuff

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and maybe like you can do a little bit more

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 2>strength stuff. And if you're tight wound, you probably back

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>off from the lifting and do a lot more like

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>tissue and stretching and stuff like that. So just it's

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of like everyone has their own formula.

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Glass now is our guest, how much are you

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to not just opening day with the Dodgers,

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>but the second day of the season. When you get

0:01:58.880 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>your ring.

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh yeah, that'll be great, super excited, been looking

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>forward to it. It'll be nice to just add to

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the collection, and hopefully we get another one this year.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Have you during the offseason did you ever look back

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>replay the way Game six ended or have you kind

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>of stayed away from that more mentally?

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I'd say, I mean, I've seen like the like highlight

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 2>videos ever where I feel like a lot of times

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you look on like TV and it's you know what

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, It's just like it's there a lot and

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>it's like the throat from Kik and the pick for

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Miggy and everything. So I haven't gone back and like

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>watching in full, but I think like mentally I've gone

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>back through it a few times.

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Was it somewhat of an out of body experience when

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you're in it?

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Sort of? Yeah. It was like just happened so fast.

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 2>So I hasn't got ending ended, and it was just

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>it happened so quick, and I kind of just looked around.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, wow, okay, cool games, haven't it

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>just Yeah, like I said, it just happened so quick,

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and there was a little bit of like out of

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>body going on for sure.

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Everybody talks about the game ending double play, rightfully, so

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>great play. But you getting Ernie Clement, who had seen

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>so many pitches in that World Series on the first

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>pitch to get the first out. How much did that

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>change to the complexion of the inning.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's definitely helpful. I think to come in

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>with no outs. I think a pitcher's best friend is

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>definitely getting out one. It's kind of like a nice feeling,

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 2>especially on an early early swing. I think when they

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>get guys on scoring position, like anytime there was a

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 2>guy on third or second, they definitely all got like

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>really aggressive. So I think just trying to get that

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 2>two seam up and in who I don't really throw

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>that to rieties that often, so I think you thought

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>it was a four seamer and then popped it up.

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>But it does give you like a little surge of

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 2>adrenaline and or like a little surge of confidence and

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>then just kind of be able to settle into the

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>inning and like finish the job.

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>When you think about Tyler Glass now as a Dodger,

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You've made the most starts in your career in one season,

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you made the All Star team, and now you're a

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>back to back World Series champion. You talked about earlier

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this spring letting go and trusting the staff. Does all

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of that success allow you to trust everybody?

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's just more about getting to know

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>the people and like kind of understanding what they know

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>about everything and just having those conversations. I don't necessarily

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>know if like winning is like the biggest driver of trust.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just kind of getting to know people

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and like understanding what everyone knows. And I just think

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>everyone here is just so skilled and know so much

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 2>that it is easy to trust everyone here.

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>And do you believe that they understand what makes Tyler

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Glass now the best as well? Uh?

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about the best, but yeah, they understand

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>me extremely well. They definitely do. I think as the

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>years have gone on to like, it's been really cool

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 2>to be here too. I think some like I am

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe like unique in the sense of I think everyone's

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>unique in the sense of what they need throughout the season,

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 2>but they've all done such a good job of being

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>all right, this is kind of how you are, Like

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 2>we can give you this stuff, but like you're still

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>yourself and we'll try to work with you on how

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>you are, which is just like such a blessing and

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 2>it's just a sign of like a really good organization.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>How much did Dave Roberts challenging you last year kind

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>of change your season and just change the mentality going

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>into this season.

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 2>It didn't really, I think. I think it's just yeah,

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I think once you do, I think that's kind of

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>what the postseason is. I think being in it before

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, like all the rules change, there's no rules,

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>you just all hands on deck. And I knew that

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>going in. I knew Doc would would do that. And

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I think especially early on, knowing like well the starters

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 2>were coming out of the bullpen, it was like, clearly,

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be kind of how it is

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>all postseasons, so you kind of have to just get

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 2>ready for everything. But him trusting me was awesome, Like

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>putting me in those big situations. It means a lot

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>to me, and I felt ready for him, And I

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>think as far as preparation goes, I keep it the same,

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>but like, just no, that's kind of how we roll

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>in the postseason and just try not to get to

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>like set into your ways and just be comfortable being uncomfortable.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess, yeah, I love that. I think we all

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>need to learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Sure, why not?

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Right now I'm in this clubhouse. You always to keep

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>your head on a swivel in this place.

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're good at it, man, You're very good at it. Yeah.

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 2>Thanks.

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Sorry you have to share lockers with snell over? There?

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Is he starting to infringe on your side?

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>No, he's good man, that's a blessing. He keeps his

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>stuff on his side.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>We're good.
