WEBVTT - Alex Call (10-8-25)

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey or Dodger Talk.

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>It's Game three the NLDS. The Dodgers are up two

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>games to nothing, and I'm joined right now by Dodger

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>outfielder Alex call who played a big role in Game

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>one of this series. Alex thanks a lot for the time,

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.799
<v Speaker 1>of course. Always, I know you're always thinking as a

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>role player, a bench player, how you're gonna be ready tonight.

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Nola is starting the game, but Ranger Suarez, the

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>lefty is lurking in the bullpen. How much have you

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>guys talked about that and how much does that play

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>into your preparation to come into the game.

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, like you said, I'm always gonna be

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>ready no matter what. For me, I have to prepare

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>like I'm gonna come in the game. Certainly if there's

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>a lefty. They have plenty of lefties in the bullpen,

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Suarez or anybody else. I'm gonna treat it

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the same as far as just how I get ready,

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>how I approach, and you know, hopefully if my name

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>gets called, I'll be ready certainly, and you know, take

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>care of business.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Your locker is right next to the great Taoscar Hernandez,

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>who has played such a big role for the Dodgers

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>all season and especially in the postseason. What's it like

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>being locker mates with him and just watching him do

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>what he's done so far in October?

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Taale's the best. It's been a pleasure to just

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 2>watch him do his thing, see how he goes about

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>his business, and obviously get to watch him on the field.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>He's an amazing player and a great guy, and it's

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>been really fun just getting to know him and seeing

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>how he goes about his routine. You know, what he

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 2>does with his swing and his approach and and he's

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>just got so much talent and it's really fun to

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 2>watch every night.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>He plays with so much joy. Is that contagious?

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Certainly. I think anytime you have some fun out there,

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 2>every time you got a smile on your face, anytime

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>you're celebrating that, you know, it just brings other people

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>along with you to you know, wanta want to join in,

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>make it happen, and make the next thing happen for

0:01:58.800 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the team.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>So is Alex Call, Dodger outfielder is our guest before

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Game three of the n l DS Can you just

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 1>describe the mood amongst the team being able to win

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>those two games in Philadelphia and now have the opportunity

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to play this game at home in advance.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the team's feeling great. I mean we

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>we certainly still know that we got more work to do,

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>not only in this series, but we're just gonna take

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>care of business on what we have to do individually

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>to help our team win tonight. And bottom line is

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>we have to be focused on executing our plan with

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>with the picture, executing on defense, executing all the little things,

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and then we're gonna put put ourselves in a good

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>spot just like we always have. And you know, we're

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a great effort from our from our pictures.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>We know that. So it's our job just to not

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>not take anything for granted and just go out there

0:02:59.680 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 2>and play.

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>You're starting. Pitching has been such a big factor for

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys since they got healthy, and especially in this series.

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>You got another pretty good one on the Mountain night.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>And Yamamoto is he maybe one of the most overlook

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>starters in baseball.

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know about that. I try not

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>to read too much into everything. I just know how

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel about him, and when he's on the mound,

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 2>I feel amazing, so you know, it's that's what it's

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>all about. And just watching him go and do his thing.

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he looks like an artist out there pitching

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and everything's so smooth, everything's so nasty and just so

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>in control, so like Stoic on the mound, just you know,

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>going out there and dominating. So absolutely a joy to

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 2>watch every time he touches the rubber and got to

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>feel confident with him on the mount tonight.

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Alex, thanks a lot for the time. I fully expect

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to see you in this game at some point, and

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>please put in a good word with me with taoscar

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Hernandez

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Of course, will there
