Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey or Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: It's Game three the NLDS. The Dodgers are up two
Speaker 1: games to nothing, and I'm joined right now by Dodger
Speaker 1: outfielder Alex call who played a big role in Game
Speaker 1: one of this series. Alex thanks a lot for the time,
Speaker 1: of course. Always, I know you're always thinking as a
Speaker 1: role player, a bench player, how you're gonna be ready tonight.
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola is starting the game, but Ranger Suarez, the
Speaker 1: lefty is lurking in the bullpen. How much have you
Speaker 1: guys talked about that and how much does that play
Speaker 1: into your preparation to come into the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like you said, I'm always gonna be
Speaker 2: ready no matter what. For me, I have to prepare
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna come in the game. Certainly if there's
Speaker 2: a lefty. They have plenty of lefties in the bullpen,
Speaker 2: whether it's Suarez or anybody else. I'm gonna treat it
Speaker 2: the same as far as just how I get ready,
Speaker 2: how I approach, and you know, hopefully if my name
Speaker 2: gets called, I'll be ready certainly, and you know, take
Speaker 2: care of business.
Speaker 1: Your locker is right next to the great Taoscar Hernandez,
Speaker 1: who has played such a big role for the Dodgers
Speaker 1: all season and especially in the postseason. What's it like
Speaker 1: being locker mates with him and just watching him do
Speaker 1: what he's done so far in October?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Taale's the best. It's been a pleasure to just
Speaker 2: watch him do his thing, see how he goes about
Speaker 2: his business, and obviously get to watch him on the field.
Speaker 2: He's an amazing player and a great guy, and it's
Speaker 2: been really fun just getting to know him and seeing
Speaker 2: how he goes about his routine. You know, what he
Speaker 2: does with his swing and his approach and and he's
Speaker 2: just got so much talent and it's really fun to
Speaker 2: watch every night.
Speaker 1: He plays with so much joy. Is that contagious?
Speaker 2: Oh? Certainly. I think anytime you have some fun out there,
Speaker 2: every time you got a smile on your face, anytime
Speaker 2: you're celebrating that, you know, it just brings other people
Speaker 2: along with you to you know, wanta want to join in,
Speaker 2: make it happen, and make the next thing happen for
Speaker 2: the team.
Speaker 1: So is Alex Call, Dodger outfielder is our guest before
Speaker 1: Game three of the n l DS Can you just
Speaker 1: describe the mood amongst the team being able to win
Speaker 1: those two games in Philadelphia and now have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to play this game at home in advance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the team's feeling great. I mean we
Speaker 2: we certainly still know that we got more work to do,
Speaker 2: not only in this series, but we're just gonna take
Speaker 2: care of business on what we have to do individually
Speaker 2: to help our team win tonight. And bottom line is
Speaker 2: we have to be focused on executing our plan with
Speaker 2: with the picture, executing on defense, executing all the little things,
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna put put ourselves in a good
Speaker 2: spot just like we always have. And you know, we're
Speaker 2: gonna get a great effort from our from our pictures.
Speaker 2: We know that. So it's our job just to not
Speaker 2: not take anything for granted and just go out there
Speaker 2: and play.
Speaker 1: You're starting. Pitching has been such a big factor for
Speaker 1: you guys since they got healthy, and especially in this series.
Speaker 1: You got another pretty good one on the Mountain night.
Speaker 1: And Yamamoto is he maybe one of the most overlook
Speaker 1: starters in baseball.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know about that. I try not
Speaker 2: to read too much into everything. I just know how
Speaker 2: I feel about him, and when he's on the mound,
Speaker 2: I feel amazing, so you know, it's that's what it's
Speaker 2: all about. And just watching him go and do his thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like an artist out there pitching
Speaker 2: and everything's so smooth, everything's so nasty and just so
Speaker 2: in control, so like Stoic on the mound, just you know,
Speaker 2: going out there and dominating. So absolutely a joy to
Speaker 2: watch every time he touches the rubber and got to
Speaker 2: feel confident with him on the mount tonight.
Speaker 1: Alex, thanks a lot for the time. I fully expect
Speaker 1: to see you in this game at some point, and
Speaker 1: please put in a good word with me with taoscar
Speaker 1: Hernandez
