Speaker 2: at about twelve forty five today, So we will be

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: joined by the four time MVP and certainly a guy

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: that understands what this event is all about. It's about

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: the fans, it's about being the guy, and he certainly

38
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: is the guy.

39
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: What a tremendous.

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Speech he gave in New York, his MVP speech, thinking

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Mark Walter and the great Lon Rosen. Nobody expected that,

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: even think I'm wondering though, if Otani's speech was cut

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: off when he did not thank me, maybe he will

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: continue his speech today because you know at those award

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: shows they give you the wrap up sign, right so

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: maybe my name was next, Maybe my name was right

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: after al Garcias, maybe my name was right after Mark Walters.

48
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: I just feel like that speech got cut a little short.

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: We're gonna set the record straight with Otani and Rookie

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: Betts is in the house. He has been pushing his tequila.

51
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: He was in Northridge yesterday at a Total Wine. Yeah,

52
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: he's been grassroots with this tequila promoting anyway.

53
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: I've been with my guys at.

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: Downy Hyundai, my guy Sam, that's grassroots as well.

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: So go see my guy Sam.

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,200

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: may even allow you to take a selfie with that

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Hyundai rap Love Boo Boo car that he has in

00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: his showroom. That's the one I sent to snail Zilla.

61
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: That's the one snail Zilla wants me to drive to

62
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: the stadium every day. So we'll see if that happens.

63
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: By the way, snail Zilla will be on Twitch up

64
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: until spring training.

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: He said.

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: That's the breaking news from Blake SNeW, who also set

67
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: the record straight and said he is feeling fine.

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: He's just going.

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: To not go all out the first day of spring training.

70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: He hopes to be ready for opening Day. We all

71
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: know the way the Dodgers play it safe with their players,

72
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: their pitchers. It's not about March twenty sixth, it's not

73
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: about April twenty sixth, it's not even about June twenty sixth.

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: So from what I gathered, the Dodgers are going to

75
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: continue to play it safe with Blakes now and be

76
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: able to make sure he Yamamoto, Otani and the rest

77
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers' key starters to get them through last October.

78
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: We'll be ready to go for this October. So just

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: keep that in mind. I know we all get so

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: excited for the beginning of the season for opening Day,

81
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: which by the way, is at Dodgers Stadium for the

82
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: first time in three years, March twenty sixth, Opening Day,

83
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: Dodgers Diamondbacks. As much as we get excited for all that,

84
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: it's more about October. And the Dodgers have mastered managing

85
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two games and nothing is going

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: to change. They have more than enough depth to get

87
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: through one hundred and sixty two games.

88
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: The Reds.

89
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: The Reds made the playoffs last year, being under five

90
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: hundred or basically a five hundred team. So you're telling

91
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: me the Dodgers, even if they slow play all their

92
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: main guys, can't be a playoff team. They didn't even

93
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: have two of the best records in the National League

94
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: last year and won the World Series. It's not about

95
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: the micro, it's about the macro. And Andrew Friedman has

96
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: done such a great job of managing a season. He

97
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: has mastered the season, he has mastered the postseason. And

98
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: we're looking forward to the Dodgers up going for that

99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: three peat. Pat Riley is going to get some copyright

100
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: chuck ching when the Dodgers get that three peat, because

101
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: when the Lakers were going for a three peat in

102
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: the eighties, after they won in eighty seven and eighty eight,

103
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: pat Riley copyrighted the phrase three P was that was

104
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: pat Riley's and I believe he still has the copyright

105
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: on three P. I could be wrong, things changed between

106
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine and twenty twenty six, but pat Riley

107
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: has the copyright on three P. So maybe we could

108
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: come up with another phrase, but why not. Pat Riley's

109
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: a great guy, legendary coach in Lakers history. So looking

110
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: forward to the Dodgers, and look, I know everybody believes

111
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 2: it's a foregone conclusion they're winning the World Series again,

112
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 2: and yes they are the prohibitive favorites at this point.

113
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: But the reality is, at this time last year, everybody

114
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: was talking about about, oh it's Mookie, BET's not coming.

115
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I want Bobby Miller, of course, come on,

116
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: say hello, say hello. Haley kept me out of the

117
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: gates until eight forty five.

118
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: How you doing, Bobby? They didn't want to let me in.

119
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: I'm doing great.

120
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: How are you, Bobby Ice? Great hair?

121
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: By the way, you thank you.

122
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: Did you just wake up?

123
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 5: No?

124
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: I did not. I woke up early today.

125
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: What you think about your guy?

126
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: Em It Sheen making a half court shot yesterday at

127
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: a local high school.

128
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, that was pretty cool. I miss mine right

129
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 6: before that. But you know, he must be a women's

130
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 6: ball or something.

131
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: A smaller ball for him, the palm, right.

132
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, smaller ball, smaller hands.

133
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, it was a good shot.

134
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: It was a good shot, right.

135
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: We'll give it to him. He acted like, you know,

136
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: it was the biggest deal of his life. He just

137
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: won the World Series.

138
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 6: A lot of people miss the shot before that, so

139
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 6: it was a pretty big deal.

140
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: What's your off season been like. You look like you're

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: ready to go for spring training. I'm sure you're happy

142
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: to have a fresh start.

143
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready to go.

144
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 6: I've gotten really strong's off season. But uh yeah, just

145
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 6: focus on trying to get back to the big leagues

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 6: again and stay in here and getting back with the

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 6: guys and getting you know, that mental toughness back and

148
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 6: the command and everything else that I need to do

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 6: because I know I can be here, and you know,

150
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: this is a place I want to be here for life.

151
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: So that's a motivation for me.

152
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're pitching with a chip on

153
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: your shoulder? Everybody was celebrating you, and it feels like

154
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: everybody jumped off the boat really quick.

155
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean that's fine.

156
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: There's always gonna believers, there's always not gonna be there's

157
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 6: always gonna be doubters. But you know, I'm always pitching

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 6: with a chip on my shoulder, whether I'm doing good

159
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 6: or bad, whether everyone's on the boat or off the boat.

160
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 6: You know, I'm always trying to pitch with that chip

161
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 6: on my shoulder, you know, because if I don't, you know,

162
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 6: there's always gonna be a next man up. You know,

163
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 6: that's how great the system is. So you know, you're

164
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 6: always fighting for a job, and that's what I'm doing

165
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 6: right now.

166
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: Have you changed anything anything about the way you pitch,

167
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: about the way you approach pitching?

168
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 7: Uh?

169
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: Or adjusted? I should say yeah.

170
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 6: I'd say that will come a little bit more towards

171
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 6: spring training. Right now, it's just trying to focus on

172
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 6: health and strength and mobility, all that kind of stuff,

173
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 6: and you know, working on a new pitch if I

174
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 6: have to. You know, I'll talk about that maybe around

175
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 6: spring training when the time comes, but uh, yeah, you know,

176
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 6: right now, it's just trying to stay healthy, get ready

177
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 6: for spring training, and then when we go to face

178
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 6: and hitters and all that kind of stuff, then we'll

179
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 6: we'll make some changes, you know, or just getting.

180
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: Back to what I had before. And yeah, because I

181
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: know it's still.

183
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,959

Speaker 4: I'm still on it.

Speaker 2: You never know who could show up. Bobby Miller saved

207
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: the day. Great to see Bobby Ice back at Dodgers Stadium.

208
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: These are a lot of hungry young pitchers ready to

209
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 2: make to come back. Landon knack. Bobby Miller, River, Ryan Bruce,

210
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: dar Graderol. Those four guys have really struck me as

211
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: hungry to really come back and leave an impression on

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and the rest of the teams are watching

213
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: them because you know, in their situations, it's not necessarily

214
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: just trying to perform for the Dodgers. It could be

215
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: performing for a potential other team because the reality is

216
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: there's only so many spots and there's only so many innings.

217
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: But these guys are coming to camp ready to take

218
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: a job and ready to be one of those guys

219
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: to fill you know, close to two thousand innings this season.

220
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: So it's it's.

221
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: Gonna be uh, it's gonna be an interesting camp with

222
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: Landon Nak and Bobby Miller and River Ryan and Emmit Shean.

223
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: You know, he can't expect that anything's going to be

224
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: handed to him, and I know he doesn't feel that way.

225
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: So it's a it's going to be an interesting camp.

226
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be a fun camp, and I love

227
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: now this is where the World Baseball Classic does come

228
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: into play to create opportunities for guys like Bobby Miller,

229
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: for guys like Dalton Rushing, for guys like Landon Knack

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 2: to leave an impression and show what they have. David

277
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 8: little more, you know, and come out for us. I mean,

278
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 8: well for me, you know, thinking about back to back

279
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 8: or whatever was. You know, you don't really think about

280
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 8: those type of things because they don't really happen. And

281
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 8: then you hear it all the time, the guys say,

282
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 8: you know, three pet, three pet, and it's like, what,

283
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 8: what are you like? It's hard enough to get one

284
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 8: and so but you know, luckily we're here and we

285
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 8: have the opportunity.

286
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: To do it for you guys.

287
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: Have you had a chance to reflect on last season?

288
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: What is the toughest thing about winning back to back championships?

289
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 8: I mean, it's just the grind that you got to

290
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 8: go through. So I'm expecting it to be, you know,

291
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 8: some some top of the eventful situation, just like last year,

292
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 8: something super emotional, just like last year.

293
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: So but that's what makes it fun.

294
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 8: I think that's what made it beautiful. Everybody keeps saying,

295
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 8: you know, that was one of the best World Series

296
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 8: is ever, So just to be a part of it.

297
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 8: Obviously coming out on the winning side makes it a

298
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 8: lot better, but just to be a partceups like that.

299
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: Is something beautiful.

300
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: I've been around.

301
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: You know now that my son's playing Little League around

302
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: kids his age, no ten year olds and my son included,

303
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: so many of them emulate and try to duplicate your

304
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: unassisted World Series ending double play. How cool is that

305
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: to know kids of that age are trying to do

306
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: the Mookie Bets shortstop. After everybody talked about the move

307
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: to that position, now kids are trying to be Mooki

308
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: the shortstop in the World Series.

309
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 8: That's weird, man, It's it's really weird.

310
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: You know.

311
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 8: There was a lot of work that went into it,

312
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 8: so kids that are trying to keep on working on it.

313
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 8: You know, I started and I wasn't great at it,

314
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 8: and you in the World Series with it, so it was, Uh,

315
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 8: it's really neat, you know, being in right field for

316
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 8: so long. You know, I think we rifer for ten

317
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 8: years and then you come back to short and then

318
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 8: have an opportunity to make a play, and then kids

319
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: want to make the play, And that's that's really cool

320
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 8: when you think about it. I didn't think about it

321
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 8: until right now.

322
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: There's so many things that stand out to me about

323
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: the World Series I feel like you ending the World

324
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: Series with an unassisted double play to me just put

325
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: an exclamation mark on the critics that didn't think you

326
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: could do it. And you're the guy making the play

327
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: to end the World Series from that position.

328
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 4: Did that Does that even hit you?

329
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

330
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 8: I mean, uh, you know, after I got to reflect

331
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 8: on it, and I was happy. I was proud of

332
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 8: myself because earlier, earlier in the year, I remember, you know,

333
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 8: just wondering how long I was going to be able

334
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 8: to do it.

335
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: And Woody, I.

336
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 8: Remember, in front of you from day one and spring training,

337
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 8: he told me when we won the World Series, you'll

338
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 8: be playing shortstop, and he said it so many times

339
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 8: and he just made.

340
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: Me kind of believe it.

341
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 8: And then you know, just you go, you know how

342
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 8: much how much I work, and so it was just

343
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 8: really cool just to see a move like that and

344
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 8: how it affected the team and really had in a

345
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 8: positive way.

346
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: Your work started.

347
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 2: I think he told me two weeks after the twenty

348
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 2: five World Series, twenty four World Series, what's this offseason

349
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: been like for you?

350
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: It was a little more normal, and you know, a

351
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: little more normal. I started.

352
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 8: I did start taking ground balls and doing doing what

353
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 8: I need to do in the infield, you know. But

354
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 8: obviously I'll do a lot more work during spring instead

355
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 8: of so much in the offseason, because we.

356
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: Know this's gonna be another long season.

357
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 8: We have an opportunity to make history, and so I

358
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 8: gotta be fresh for it.

359
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: What did you know Nick Schumpert had a video camera

360
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: the other day out here when you were working with him.

361
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 8: No, honestly, it was just the video. I mean, it

362
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 8: was just it was just the glasses. Yeah, I'm thinking

363
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 8: he's just wearing sunglasses.

364
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 4: Hot.

365
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: MIC's everywhere, Mookie everywhere.

366
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 8: So but you know, that's just the passion that I

367
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 8: have for it. And that's my little cousin. So anything

368
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 8: anything for him, you know, I'll do whatever.

369
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 9: Prayer.

370
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: Wow, he really showed off with those ray bands and

371
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: those glasses.

372
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's how he's got some swag, you know. It

373
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 8: kind of it kind of runs into family a little bit.

374
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. You got a lot of swag, Mookie.

375
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,240

00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in spring training. We're gonna take

Speaker 2: that spring training is around the corner.

412
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,080

Speaker 3: come back. See the fans again. I mean we see

415
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: them every day. Believe me. They come up and say

416
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: how appreciative they are of the last couple of years.

417
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would say fan Fest is the official

418
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 3: kickoff and then what we got one more week until

419
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: all the baseball team says now.

00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 4: It's our turn or whatever.

421
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: The super Bowl they always give that same little quote out.

422
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: But I would say fan Fest for all the teams,

423
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: it's the real kickoff to get ready.

424
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: When you're around the streets of LA and people come

425
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: up to you. Can you feel the effect that you've

426
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: had on their lives their families?

427
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I mean especially here like Miguel and

428
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: I did the luncheon about about forty five minutes ago,

429
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: and so many people of you know, they had someone

430
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: had a widow maker that was made it through the

431
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: widow maker the heart attack and was able to come

432
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: through and then we brought and brought our joy watching

433
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: us play on the TV. Like there's so many stories

434
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: that we get told here at FanFest that really makes

435
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: you feel what these fans and what we mean to

436
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: them and what they mean to us. I mean, we

437
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 3: were trying to tell them. It's not lost on us

438
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 3: when we come in July eighteenth and on Tuesday and

439
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 3: there's fifty four thousand people here, and we understand how

440
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 3: how awesome the fans are. And so when you get

441
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: to hear the little stories of what Dodger Baseball means

442
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: to them, it's not just we're just not a team

443
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: to them, this is their livelihood. It's we're family to them.

444
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 3: And it really is special to be able to hear

445
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 3: all the stories from fans that we've been able to

446
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: create memories for them in the last couple of years.

447
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: I know you mean so much to the fan base

448
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, them Braise fans, but what you've done with

449
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers feels like you've cemented your legacy with this

450
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: franchise as well. That doesn't happen to too many players

451
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: where you can say you had an indelible mark on

452
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: two franchises.

453
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: And you know, obviously these last you know, year or

454
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: two people are talking about most people won't even remember

455
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 3: my first twelve years. I said. I always respond with,

456
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, that just means I'm doing my job really well.

457
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: And I adored my twelve years with the Braise. We

458
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: won a championship there. But these last four years, being

459
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: able to be playing in front of my family day

460
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: in and day out, night after night, see my dad

461
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: in front rows.

462
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: Giving him a hug after it's been special.

463
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 3: It really, yeah. But to be able to like, for

464
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: you to even think that after four years, that just

465
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: makes me like I've done my job the best of

466
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: I possibly can, and We've created some really cool things

467
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: that are gonna last in people's minds forever. And for

468
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: you to say that kind of stuff and people to

469
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: think that kind of stuff. That just means I've done

470
00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: my job.

471
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: Okay, I would say so. I would say so. And

472
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: you've been out there every day. We all know how

473
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: much you pride yourself on starting as many of the

474
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two as possible. Yeah, have they

475
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: started to talk to you about what they've been saying?

476
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: You already know what I'm gonna say. Yeah, I'm going

477
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: to I'm going to be trying to play one hundred

478
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: and sixty two games.

479
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: So we should tell Dalton Rushing put that first base

480
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: glove away.

481
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: All I can say to that is I will be

482
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: prepared to play one hundred and sixty two games. I will,

483
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: I think you know, I will be ready to go.

484
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: And then if they come in and tell me that

485
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 3: they want me to have a day off, then audible

486
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: fight in that moment. But my job, in my mindset,

487
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: how I get ready to play every single game. And

488
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to do. And so that just

489
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: means I gotta get three hits every game, So that

490
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 3: can't take me out. A lot of that's talk, and Andrew,

491
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 3: I'm not coming out, that's right.

492
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm counting the doubles. And they hit Okay, I like that.

493
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,680

498
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,160

499
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 4: I wanted to give you some space. Hey, that guy

00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: right there.

Speaker 3: We've been We've done a lot of things together today. Yeah,

502
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 3: he's special.

503
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 2: You talk about the game rewarding you, Freddy.

504
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: It really does honor you. That game has honored him.

505
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: We just got what he means to us. There's so

506
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: many traditions that he started winning series. We get together

507
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: to a selfie as a group after those series wins.

508
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: We toasted each other. We talk about how the player,

509
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: the game, and the series he created that. I think

510
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: there's no bigger honor for us inside that clubhouse than

511
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: the Roy Campanello Award. And he's won it back to

512
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: back years. It's voted on by the people in that clubhouse.

513
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 3: He comes in every day. The game honors you because

514
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: he didn't play at all in the NLC. Yes, he

515
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: didn't play the first few games of the World Series,

516
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: and then he gets his opportunity. It becomes a Dodger hero.

517
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: I meaneah, he really is a hero. And I think

518
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 3: you guys heard it on Backstage Dodgers when I said,

519
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,360

520
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: the time. It is the great That should be a

521
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 3: SoundBite on Dodger time this year. It is the greatest

522
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: home ran. It's so amazing. And yeah, and he gets

523
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: to play one more, he gets to re sign, gets

524
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: to end his career with the Dodgers, and he's I

525
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: know he's gonna want to coach with us, so he'll

526
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: be here forever, we hope.

527
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman as well, you haven't done the worm anytime recently,

528
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,000

Speaker 3: it with him and it came out really good. I'm

603
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,200

642
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: Oh man, I thought you were coming after me like

643
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: a on one of your safaris.

644
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: There you go, hell yeah, yeah. What's it like for

645
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: you this year your off season? You got married?

646
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 7: I think, right, yeah, we got married November and then

647
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 7: like it was a destination running, did a honeymoon, a

648
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 7: couple of travel things, and then normal, like once you

649
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 7: start throwing your at home training every day.

650
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a big guy on fitness training. When do

651
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: you pick up the baseball?

652
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 7: Early December this year generally like after season, I'll take

653
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 7: like it's usually like six to nine days of nothing,

654
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 7: just like a light movement, and then you get back

655
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 7: into working out, lifting and pilates, whatever else you gotta do,

656
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 7: and then throwing is like early December.

657
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: It feels like everybody on this team last year, Tyler

658
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: was out of their comfort zone. They had to be

659
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: for you guys to win the World Series. What does

660
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: that mean for you individually and to see other guys

661
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: do the same thing, to sacrifice at all for a

662
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: back to back championship.

663
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a unique World Series.

664
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 7: I think it was kind of like you look around,

665
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 7: everyone on the roster had a meaningful moment, something big happened,

666
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 7: So it was super unique.

667
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people would come up to

668
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: me and be like.

669
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 7: That was the most inner haining World series I've ever watched,

670
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 7: and just a lot of comments like that. So it's

671
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 7: just it's nice to be a part of it. And

672
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 7: just to say you were kind of on the field

673
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 7: for that whole insane series is just such a dream

674
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 7: come true.

675
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: Well, you were on the mound with keyk Hernandez and

676
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: did game six? Yeah, the World Series. Yeah, I was

677
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: take us through what you were saying. Did you believe

678
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: that he was, hey, gonna make it to catch the ball?

679
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 2: And what was happening after that?

680
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 7: I think immediately off the bat, I didn't know if

681
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 7: it was going to drop or not. And I think

682
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 7: as I looked up and saw the way Kik was

683
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 7: running towards the ball, I had a feeling would be

684
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 7: two outs and I didn't see the guy's lead on second,

685
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 7: so he caught the ball. It was kind of like

686
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 7: a nice reassuring our two outsman on third and second,

687
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 7: and then that throw and then Migey's pick. I was

688
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 7: just it was kind of in shock, and I didn't

689
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 7: want to celebrate too much too early because I thought

690
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 7: it was gonna get overturned. To be safe, because I

691
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 7: did my angle, I thought he was safe, so I

692
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 7: kind of was just like trying to keep it calm.

693
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 7: And then they reviewed it and he was out, and

694
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 7: I was like, all right, celebration's over. Like I didn't

695
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 7: have like a moment to like freak out, but it was.

696
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 7: It was awesome going in and talking to the guys.

697
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 7: I think that energy worked its way into Game seven

698
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 7: and we won.

699
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: It felt like you guys had the confidence that you

700
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: knew when you showed up in game seven that was

701
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: your game. Yeah.

702
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 7: I think I think our group is confident, But I

703
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 7: think anytime you're playing in a group like the Blue

704
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 7: jay Z, it's never like, oh we got this in

705
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 7: the bag type of thing. They were just on a

706
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 7: hot streak. There's such a good team, such a good offense.

707
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 7: So I think it was just it was nice to

708
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 7: go in there with that that moment of like it

709
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 7: could have ended in game six, we extended our life

710
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 7: to game seven, so maybe a little a little breath

711
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 7: of fresh air going into it, But I think once

712
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 7: the game starts, you go up. Never mind, we it's

713
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 7: game seven.

714
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: Let's go.

715
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas had his fingerprints all over Game six and

716
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: Game seven, like you mentioned, Yeah, do we fail to

717
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: appreciate how tough it was for him to handle that

718
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: throw from Keygay because he made it look somewhat easy.

719
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: But that's not an easy throw to handle.

720
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 7: No, that's it's tough. I think it took him off

721
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 7: the bag too, like it kind of got him close

722
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 7: and threw him off.

723
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

724
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 7: I don't think there's many many people that can make

725
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 7: that play, So I think it just, yeah, it shows

726
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 7: how good of a player he is, and I think

727
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 7: he's been putting. He just cares so much about the

728
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 7: team and does a lot of extra stuff behind the

729
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 7: scenes to keep the team close. And it kind of

730
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 7: was just like a storybook moment of all that kind

731
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 7: of came to fruition in those last two games.

732
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 4: Before I Let you go.

733
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: Blake Snell has already talked about how great the Dodgers

734
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: are at letting you guys ease into the season as starters.

735
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you guys are ready to go

736
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: or do you feel like you're ready to go day one?

737
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

738
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 7: I think I always go into spring trending ready to go.

739
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 7: It kind of just depends on what they'd want me

740
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 7: to do and how they like map out the whole

741
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 7: starting somehow thing. Yeah, but I'm pretty like an I

742
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 7: like to get it going and like work pretty hard

743
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 7: in the offseason, and then once I show up, I

744
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 7: want to feel like I'm ready to compete.

805
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: come this way. If he does not, we could do

806
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: a second round with Freddie Freeman. I wouldn't mind that.

807
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: I got part five with Freddy. Let's go, Yeah, Freddie

808
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: Freeman doesn't want to If Otani's being tied up, I mean,

809
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: Steven Nelson still milking Otani.

810
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: I mean, how how long can this go? Right now?

811
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: Otani's on stage with Steven Nelson. He's getting milked like

812
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: I get milked by Rogan and Rodney. I mean, that's

813
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: what's happening right now on the stage. I mean Otani,

814
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: I know how it feels. I was just milked by

815
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: Rogan and Rodney yesterday. I think that's what's happening right now. Anyway,

816
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: It's been a great day here Dodgers Stadium. You could

817
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: feel the energy, the excitement of everybody even being in

818
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: this Dodger bullpen. You can feel the excitement the fans

819
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: have for this team, the gratitude they have for this team,

820
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: and certainly everybody is very excited. I could declare this

821
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are not bad for baseball today in Los Angeles.

822
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: I'll just say that it feels like baseball is thriving

823
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: today here at Dodgers Stadium. Maybe not in Kansas City,

824
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: but that's on Kansas City. I mean, you could find

825
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: somebody else to come up with sad stories for the Royals,

826
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: who were pretty good last year. But anyway, I felt

827
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: like I had to declare that today the Dodgers are

828
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: not ruining baseball today in Los Angeles, Dodgers are making

829
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: baseball great again. That's what they are doing for sure.

830
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody is so excited about the season. The

831
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 2: Dodgers are good for the game. There is no denying

832
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: that the last two Worlds Series incredible, incredible performances by

833
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in a seven game World Series, the Dodgers

834
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: Yankees World Series had so many eyes on him. Does

835
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: anybody can you even tell me who was in the

836
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: World Series three years ago? Can anybody tell me that?

837
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: Let me know if you know the answer to who

838
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 2: was in the World Series three years ago and who

839
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: won it? Times up, it's the Rangers and Diamondbacks. Those

840
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: were the two teams in the World Series. Does anybody

841
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: talk about that World Series? They're still talking about the

842
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: Jeter World Series twenty years ago, twenty five years ago

843
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 2: more than what they're talking about three years ago. So

844
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: when you have the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Red Sox,

845
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: the Cubs, all of those things.

846
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 4: Are good for the game. And I got news for you.

847
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: It was the Brewers the Phillies with the two best

848
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: records in baseball last year. It was the Padres, who

849
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: were just three games back of the Dodgers in the

850
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 2: NL West last year. So there is a lot of

851
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: competition from big markets to small markets. And oh, by

852
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: the way, the team that spent just as much as

853
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 2: the Dodgers didn't even make the postseason. So it's not

854
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: just about the payroll. It's who you bring into your organization.

855
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: It's the infrastructure that you build around these players and

856
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: the payroll. It's the player development, it's the drafting. I

857
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: know it's not sexy. I know it's not the hot

858
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: take everybody wants, but it's the reality of what the

859
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: Dodgers have built since twenty fifteen. So, yes, the Dodgers

860
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: are good for baseball. I know Shikan's over there staring

861
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: at me, trying to, you know, get a quote. So

862
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: you get right in there, you know, you never know. Anyway,

863
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: I heard Freddie Freeman's music. That means shoe Heyo Tani

864
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 2: is done being milked on the stage by Steven Nelson,

865
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: So that means that Otani should be coming through these

866
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: bullpen gates where he warms up for each and every

867
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 2: one of his starts. So looking forward to Otani coming

868
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: through these gates and ending Dodger Talk. As we have

869
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: seven minutes until the top of the hour, they are

870
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: opening the bullpen gates. This is our grand finale, my

871
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: guy show Heyo Tani. And also the fact that we

872
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 2: will get to the bottom of whether or not his

873
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: speech was cut short. That is the biggest question today

874
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: at Dodger Fest was show Heyo Tani's speech cut short?

875
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: Harry comes, He's gonna bow up on me again. He

876
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: tried to knock me over, but I have my Bobby bodyguard,

877
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller with me. Great to see you, Show Hey.

878
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,520

Speaker 4: I will ireton the question that I have.

882
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: I know they try to wrap up the speeches, make

883
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: it go quick Awards. I feel like I was left out,

884
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 2: but I was going to be next that you thinked

885
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:09,640

Speaker 5: see the fans just really, you know, increases my excitement.

901
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: What do you know about Kyle Tucker and how is

902
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: he going to make your offense better?

00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 3: Platanics about us about that this year.

904
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 5: He's truly a player that has everything. He can hit,

905
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 5: he can run, he can play defense, He's got it all.

906
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: Would you be comfortable with him hitting behind you in

907
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: the lineup?

908
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 3: Doesn't, doesn't.

909
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 5: I'm not quite sure what the lineup is going to

910
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 5: look like. But regardless whether he hits in front or

911
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,759

915
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 4: Has he changed?

916
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: Should we expect him to show up in a limousine

917
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: in spring training? How will he even speak to me

918

920
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 10: Tout the muffle you kill out in Jenaic and Mucius.

921
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 5: The fact that he's not here and has said no

922
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 5: to coming here is one evidence.

923
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 4: Four time m v PS here, I knew it.

924
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,960

Speaker 5: have a conversation with him.

933
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,600

935
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 5: I didn't go back to Japan this offseason, so I'm

936
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 5: but I'm sure he's The popularity is rocketing.

941
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 5: I have a very deep relationship with Seiko for many,

942
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 5: many years, tens of years, so I don't foresee that

943
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 5: happening here.

944
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 2: All right, all right, before I let you go, when

945
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: you look at what you've accomplished the first two years

946
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers, what are your goals? Because I know

947
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: you set goals for yourself as you work out here

948
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stadium, what are the goals you are setting

949
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: for yourself this season?

950
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 4: Season?

951
00:44:45,120 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 10: Yes, a jam on, she said, kama om the day,

952
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 10: so you did it.

953
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 5: Out on the numb one number one overall goal is

954
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 5: obviously going to be back to back to back championship. Personally,

955
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 5: it's just to make sure that I'm consistently healthy and

956
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 5: consistently performing well.

957
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: Thank you for stopping. Really appreciate it. My last name

958
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: very hard to pronounce, vas A fifth m v P.

959
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: David vass A muchas gracias. Thank you. Can we take

960
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 2: a picture really quick? Oh yeah, the Great Otani wants

961
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: to take a picture.

962
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 9: Home.

963
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 4: No no, no, live live photo with the Great O'tani.

964
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: See you know, I just asked whether or not whether

965
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: or not the speech was left out. I mean, people

966
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: get so nervous around this guy. Treat him a normal

967
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 2: guy at casual like I do. Maybe next year the

968
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: fifth MVP, I guarantee my name will be mentioned in

969
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: that speech. All right, that'll do it for us on

970
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk. What a way to walk it off, right,

971
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: the guy that's had so many walk off home runs

972
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. Here's my guy, Tarro, he knows anyway,

973
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: Thank you to everybody that stopped by.

974
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, kill the music. We're going over. We're

975
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 4: going overtime. Kill the music.

976
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 9: Kill the music.

977
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 2: When you've got a three time World Series manager with

978
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and a man that is synonymous with winning

979
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: who just is fresh off coming from Augusta, you have

980
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: got to end the show with him. And that is

981
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: the one and only Dave Roberts. Dave, great to see you,

982
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: and man, we're going overtime with you now.

983
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, this is good. Thanks for going overtime with me, Dave.

984
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 9: Great turnout today, and I'm sure you've got to catch

985
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 9: it with a lot of our players. It's been a crazy,

986
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 9: fun short offseason. But you know, just seeing the guys now,

987
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 9: everyone's got a smile. On their face, ready to get

988
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 9: back to work, and it's good to see that energy

989
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 9: today with our fans.

990
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: Have you got the sense from your players that they

991
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: are now addicted to winning?

992
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 10: Yeah?

993
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 9: I have absolutely. And you know what's interesting is that

994
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 9: we've had two very short and off seasons and no

995
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 9: one is really complaining or saying I need more time.

996
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 9: Everyone is chomping at the bit to get back to

997
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 9: work to then win another championship. So we got that

998
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 9: addiction absolutely.

999
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: I'll give you a sneak peek on a meeting with

1000
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman that you will have. He says that he's

1001
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: going to kick and scream when you ask him for

1002
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: a day off. He just said, be ready. I am

1003
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: going to be upset in the moment, but obviously do

1004
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: whatever Dave Roberts wants.

1005
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 4: So that's what he's saying.

1006
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what, And I think that we have

1007
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 9: that relationship where you always want players to be in

1008
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 9: there every single day. But I do think that, you know,

1009
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 9: there's a point of diminishing returns and so I don't

1010
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 9: know Dave as we talk right now, how many games

1011
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 9: is gonna play, but I do think that, yeah, there's

1012
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 9: going to be times in this season where I do

1013
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 9: got to kind of get him off his feet, let

1014
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 9: him rest his mind. But yes, he's going to be

1015
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 9: kicking and screaming, but I'm prepared for that.

1016
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 2: This is not the first time you have managed teams

1017
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 2: that went to back to back World Series. You're now

1018
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: the back to back champions. What is the early part

1019
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 2: of the season looking for you when you come out

1020
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: of spring training because you have been able to have

1021
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: the approach of winning today but still not compromising October.

1022
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's a great question. It's very nuanced.

1023
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 9: I think that you know some of it. Most of

1024
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 9: it is certainly getting the guys, your core guys the rest,

1025
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 9: getting them, keeping them healthy, keeping them as I like

1026
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 9: to say, interested for the whole season, to get them

1027
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 9: ready for the run late. But the other part I

1028
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 9: think that we've seen in our playoff runs, our World

1029
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 9: Series runs, is there's a lot of people that you

1030
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 9: don't know are going to make impacts early, but then

1031
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 9: they end up making big impacts late. So making sure

1032
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 9: that the river Ryans, the Gavin Stones, you know, the

1033
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 9: Free Lens, the different guys that might make an impact later,

1034
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 9: because you know, this year we saw Emmitt Shehan. You know,

1035
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 9: you saw Robleski and a lot of guys that pitch

1036
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 9: huge innings for us this year, So getting those guys

1037
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 9: prepared for big spots as well.

1038
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: Last spring training, you are obviously you have the finger

1039
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: on the pulse of your team more than anybody. You

1040
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 2: said it, Emmitt Sheen was going to be the sleeper

1041
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 2: of the second half? Is River Ryan that version this season?

1042
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 9: You know what, He's right there. I want to see

1043
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 9: him in spring training. I know he's physical right now.

1044
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 9: He's had a great spring off season. Gavin Stone is

1045
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 9: a guy I really have a lot of respect for us,

1046
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 9: so I want to see him as well. I'm not

1047
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 9: gonna it's a little too early for me to have

1048
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 9: my pick to click. Yeah, but yeah, Dave, let's revisit

1049
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 9: that one when when we get into spring training.

1050
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 2: I know, speaking of spring training, Dave Roberts is our guest.

1051
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: You get the group, the pitchers first, and then the

1052
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 2: entire you know, guys in position players, and you preach

1053
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 2: always be ready that each one of them will contribute.

1054
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: Is that message easier to land this year because of

1055
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 2: the unexpected contributions from so many guys As late as

1056
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: Game seven of the World Series.

1057
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 9: It is, but I think it's still dovetails into last

1058
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 9: year two or two years ago in the sense of

1059
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 9: how we used our bullpen.

1060
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it more cemented.

1061
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 9: You know, my messaging on every player's got to be

1062
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 9: ready because as it plays out, we've shown and prove

1063
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 9: that you don't know who's going to be the guy

1064
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 9: who has to be the guy, but every guy might

1065
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 9: have a chance to impact a big World Series game

1066
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 9: or playoff game, and that's kind of proven true. So

1067
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 9: my messaging certainly hasn't landed on deaf ears, which is great.

1068
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 2: I know you got to worry about twenty twenty six,

1069
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: but I did see a report and your quotes that

1070
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: you would love to be here at Dodger Stadium for

1071
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 2: the Summer Olympics in twenty twenty eight to manage Team US.

1072
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 2: I couldn't think of a better guy than you to

1073
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: do that. What inside of you is telling you you

1074
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: want that.

1075
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 9: You know what, It would be the biggest honor for me.

1076
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 9: My father served our country in the Marine Corps for

1077
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 9: thirty years. I played for the PanAm team in ninety

1078
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 9: nine to qualify the US baseball team for the Olympics.

1079
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 9: In two thousand. You know, I managed a Dodge in

1080
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 9: Los Angeles, went to college here in LA and it

1081
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 9: would just be a huge honor. So obviously it's a

1082
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 9: ways out there. But I was asked the question and

1083
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 9: I just said, yeah, it'd be a huge honor, and

1084
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 9: for me to consider it, it's a no brand for

1085
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 9: me to consider that.

1086
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,479
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a chance major league players could

1087
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 2: play in the summer Olympics with a World Series winning

1088
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 2: major league manager?

1089
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 4: I do?

1090
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 9: I do, you know what? I think that And not

1091
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 9: to kind of, you know, put pressure on baseball or

1092
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 9: but I do think that if you're talking about the

1093
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 9: biggest stage possible to kind of promote our game, showcase

1094
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 9: our game, there's no bigger stage than the Olympics. So

1095
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,759
