WEBVTT - Kiké Hernández Postgame (9-26-26) 

0:00:00.430 --> 0:00:06.220
<v Speaker 1>And now, an exclusive interview with David Basset for Dodger Talk.

0:00:07.340 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Quique Hernandez delivered more ways than one today, but more importantly,

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.980
<v Speaker 2>delivered a win. This has been your role. You delivered again.

0:00:15.110 --> 0:00:17.610
<v Speaker 2>How do you get ready for these type of situations?

0:00:19.050 --> 0:00:21.970
<v Speaker 3>I mean, in that moment, it was all about competing

0:00:22.010 --> 0:00:25.270
<v Speaker 3>and trying to get on base. I was still pretty

0:00:25.310 --> 0:00:27.020
<v Speaker 3>embarrassed about swinging at that pitch. I don't know if

0:00:27.050 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I've ever swung at a worse pitch than the one

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.140
<v Speaker 3>I struck out on. And I thought that, you know,

0:00:31.180 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 3>maybe you should take your shirt off after I punched

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.860
<v Speaker 3>out with the bases loaded like that. And I'm glad

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 3>you didn't take it off because it worked.

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.730
<v Speaker 2>I said never. I would never turn on you that way.

0:00:39.810 --> 0:00:42.970
<v Speaker 2>But I remember when you first came up, your teams

0:00:43.030 --> 0:00:45.230
<v Speaker 2>used to have a saying, keep going, keep going. How

0:00:45.270 --> 0:00:47.510
<v Speaker 2>did you keep going to come up with the big

0:00:47.550 --> 0:00:48.620
<v Speaker 2>hit like you always do?

0:00:48.990 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's in that situation, like I said. It's

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.460
<v Speaker 3>about competing. They brought in one of their best arms,

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 3>their closer, and a tight game. I'm trying to get

0:00:56.340 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 3>on base for the big boys behind me, and I

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.900
<v Speaker 3>just happened to catch a barrel, and the ball went

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 3>really far, and it felt kind of nice. I hadn't

0:01:02.660 --> 0:01:03.380
<v Speaker 3>hit a ball like that.

0:01:03.300 --> 0:01:06.060
<v Speaker 2>In a long time. Everybody in Dodger land is already

0:01:06.100 --> 0:01:08.410
<v Speaker 2>saying it's not even October. You're just getting ready.

0:01:08.910 --> 0:01:09.630
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that'd be nice.

0:01:10.770 --> 0:01:13.090
<v Speaker 2>One other question. Do I have to wash this to

0:01:13.130 --> 0:01:15.190
<v Speaker 2>give it back to you? Do you just want me

0:01:15.230 --> 0:01:15.850
<v Speaker 2>to give it to you?

0:01:17.350 --> 0:01:19.750
<v Speaker 3>We can talk about that later behind closed doors.

0:01:20.190 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Great job, Kike. Thanks for stopping.

0:01:22.300 --> 0:01:22.730
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:01:22.970 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And thanks for the T-shirt.
