Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey or Dodger Talk.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: It's Game three the NLDS. The Dodgers are up two

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: games to nothing, and I'm joined right now by Dodger

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: outfielder Alex call who played a big role in Game

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: one of this series. Alex thanks a lot for the time,

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: of course. Always, I know you're always thinking as a

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: role player, a bench player, how you're gonna be ready tonight.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola is starting the game, but Ranger Suarez, the

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: lefty is lurking in the bullpen. How much have you

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: guys talked about that and how much does that play

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: into your preparation to come into the game.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like you said, I'm always gonna be

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: ready no matter what. For me, I have to prepare

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna come in the game. Certainly if there's

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: a lefty. They have plenty of lefties in the bullpen,

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: whether it's Suarez or anybody else. I'm gonna treat it

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: the same as far as just how I get ready,

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: how I approach, and you know, hopefully if my name

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: gets called, I'll be ready certainly, and you know, take

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: care of business.

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,440

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: who has played such a big role for the Dodgers

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: all season and especially in the postseason. What's it like

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: being locker mates with him and just watching him do

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: what he's done so far in October?

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Taale's the best. It's been a pleasure to just

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: watch him do his thing, see how he goes about

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: his business, and obviously get to watch him on the field.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: He's an amazing player and a great guy, and it's

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: been really fun just getting to know him and seeing

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: how he goes about his routine. You know, what he

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: does with his swing and his approach and and he's

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: just got so much talent and it's really fun to

34

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the team's feeling great. I mean we

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,240

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: not only in this series, but we're just gonna take

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: care of business on what we have to do individually

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: to help our team win tonight. And bottom line is

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: we have to be focused on executing our plan with

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: with the picture, executing on defense, executing all the little things,

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna put put ourselves in a good

55
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: spot just like we always have. And you know, we're

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: gonna get a great effort from our from our pictures.

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: We know that. So it's our job just to not

58
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: not take anything for granted and just go out there

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: and play.

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: You're starting. Pitching has been such a big factor for

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: you guys since they got healthy, and especially in this series.

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: You got another pretty good one on the Mountain night.

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: And Yamamoto is he maybe one of the most overlook

64
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: starters in baseball.

65
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know about that. I try not

66
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: to read too much into everything. I just know how

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: I feel about him, and when he's on the mound,

68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: I feel amazing, so you know, it's that's what it's

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: all about. And just watching him go and do his thing.

70
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like an artist out there pitching

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: and everything's so smooth, everything's so nasty and just so

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: in control, so like Stoic on the mound, just you know,

73
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: going out there and dominating. So absolutely a joy to

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: watch every time he touches the rubber and got to

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: feel confident with him on the mount tonight.

76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Alex, thanks a lot for the time. I fully expect

77
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: to see you in this game at some point, and

78
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: please put in a good word with me with taoscar

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:58,760
