<v Speaker 3>No, Dave, this is great. You know.

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I've got to spend some time with Sam here, who

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 4>owns Hyundai Downey Hundai, and to come to the city

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 4>of Downey and to see all this Dodger blue, it's fantastic.

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 4>And a lot of times I get so in a

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 4>bubble with my job and I go to the ballpark

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 4>and I don't get that fan interaction.

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>So this is special to me.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 4>And we won a crazy game last night, so I'm

0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 4>feeding off this energy today to bring it to the

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 4>part today.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 3>That's right, let's hear it for Dave Roberts. You want

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 3>to meet Dave Roberts, you gotta give us a little

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>bit more law here.

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>He's been to five World Series as the manager of

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers back to back championships. Like you said, you're

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>in the bubble your day to day you have to

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>worry about that game that season. How often do you

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>have an experience of being at a place site downy

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Hyundai to see the fans come up from all over

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:27.199
<v Speaker 2>LA just to.

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 4>Meet you, just to take a picture with you. Yeah,

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't get this very often. And as fans are

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 4>coming in right now and I get to say hello

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>and take pictures and kind of hear stories and how

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, fans love to tell me how they became

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 4>Dodger fans, or tell stories about Tommy or Vin or

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 4>big moments that they were at Dodger games. And you know,

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers's it's a culture. And that's one thing that

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 4>when you come to Los Angeles, it's such a as

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 4>people say, it's a melting pot, is diverse, and but

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 4>La bleeds blue.

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 3>It is a Dodger city.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 4>And I don't get this opportunity very often, so I definitely.

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 3>Enjoy the kind of the interaction with all the fans.

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, Dave Roberts is probably the one manager since Tommy

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>LA sorta that bleeds Dodger Blue more than anybody. Think

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 2>about all the managers that have come and gone over

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the years, Walter Alston, Tommy la Sorta, and this man

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>right here will go down and Dodger history is the

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>three greatest managers the franchise has ever seen. And Dave

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Roberts has the distinction. Yeah, give it up there, Come on,

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>how many people could say that? And Dave Roberts has

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the distinction of playing for the Dodgers. He left body

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>parts out in center field a few times. So it

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>feels like you, more than anybody else that has had

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>that chair, understands what it's about to be a Dodger.

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 4>And you know, it's funny you say that because I

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 4>think that, you know, everyone has a job, but for me,

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers, it's in my blood. I grew up in

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 4>southern California, I went to school in LA I played

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 4>for the Dodgers, so I understand, you know when you

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 4>talk about passion and generational And I knew Morey Wills,

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 4>I knew Don Newcombe, you know Drysdale, Duke Snyder. I

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 4>knew all those guys that played for the Dodgers. And

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 4>you know Rachel Robinson, sh Sharon Robinson are friends of mine,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>So my Dodger ties run deep. So that's why, you know,

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 4>it pains me when we don't win, and I get

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 4>just as much joy when we do win because I

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 4>know how much the Dodgers mean to all you fans.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you realize this, but Dave Roberts,

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 2>in his eleventh season, is closing in on his one

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>thousandth regular season win.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 3>It's going to happen in the next month.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot of people have been able to do that.

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>He has the highest winning percentage of any manager in

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>modern baseball history. And you think back to your first

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>World Series in twenty seventeen, to where you were in Toronto.

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 3>And Game seven of the World Series.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>What was the different feeling for you if you can

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>remember before Game one of the seventeen World Series compared

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to you know, maybe even before Game seven of the

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty five World Series.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think, you know, I think with life, you

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 4>learn a lot through failure. And I think that sometimes

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 4>you know, you either when you don't have success or failure,

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 4>it's an opportunity to grow and get better. And I

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 4>think for me, as you know, we've had five World

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Series appearances, We've won three and losing never feels good.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 4>But I think for me, I've always tried to take

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 4>something from you know, winning or losing, and so for me,

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 4>I think in seventeen, I've just the game has slowed

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 4>down more.

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 3>I think everyone.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 4>Sees that, you know, my trust in the players has

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 4>continued to grow because I start to learn the players more,

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 4>and you know, no bigger spot than last year, Miguel.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Rojas, you know, and for me it was.

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Just more yeah, and Meguiro is just like he's one

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 4>of you guys, He's one of us, and you know,

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 4>so to go out there and just trust him in

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 4>a big moment and for.

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Him to come up with a big home run meant

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>a lot to me, meant a lot to you guys

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 3>and the Dodge organization.

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.559
<v Speaker 4>But I think for me, it's just learning from things

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 4>that haven't gone well, my mistakes, learning from failure, and

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 4>trying to get better.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 3>And that's like what we all do.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, we all have our trials, tribulations and good times,

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 4>bad times, and we all try to get better and learn.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 3>And I'm no different.

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Dave Roberts and the team that he manages is

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 2>an example for all of us to not give up,

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>to have the mental toughness, to.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Have the adversity.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I was just telling our guys, Sam, who runs downy Honday,

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 2>give it up for Sam over here. Everybody has their difficulties,

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 2>their adversity.

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Your team.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>In game seven, Boba Shitt hits a three run home

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>run off the greatest player on the planet at show haled.

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>It could have been very easy for any other team

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to say, you know what, it was a great run,

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>they got it, but you guys never gave up. It

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>was like, okay, three runs down, let's find a way

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to do this.

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Where does that come from?

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think in you referenced twenty seventeen where we

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 4>got down in game seven and we just kind of

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 4>mailed it in. And this team last year just refused

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 4>to lose. They were going to continue to fight. And yeah,

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 4>we gave we got behind early, but I did feel

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 4>it in the dugout that we were going.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 3>To find a way. Just keep fighting, keep fighting, keep pulling.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.799
<v Speaker 4>And uh, you know Will Smith hitting a game tying homer,

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 4>you know Max Munsey hitting a homer to get us

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.679
<v Speaker 4>a little bit closer. Obviously, the play that MIGGI made,

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 4>the play that Pahes made at the end. So everyone contributed,

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 4>and so I think for me, it's just about you know,

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 4>and Sam, you know here at Downy Hunday, it's just

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 4>instilling belief, confidence in everyone and everyone being positive. You

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 4>have a bad month, you want to keep grinding and keep.

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Going, and that's what we did.

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 4>And so I couldn't be more proud of what we

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 4>accomplished last year. And we got a lot of work

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 4>to do, but hopefully, you know, we can do it

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 4>again and get that three feet that we all want.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and they're on their way.

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>James being humble right here, spoken like a true manager,

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll just save from your Dodgers right now as we

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>sit here at Downey, Hyundai have the best record in baseball.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thirty nine wins.

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>If they win today or when they win today, they

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>will have fifty wins.

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 3>And we all want to know.

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Is the Big DH going to be back from celebrating

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>his second child. Do you think these fans can expect

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Otani leading off dhing today?

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I think so.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 4>I haven't got the text yet to confirm, but you know,

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 4>show hey just had a baby that we're all excited about.

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 4>But I expect him to be in the lineup today,

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 4>so we'll see. I should know here shortly.

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying you get a text directly from Otani

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 2>that says I got.

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 3>The green light. It'll be a thumbs off. And he's

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 3>head layer. Ah?

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Is that how old Tony texts you with emojis?

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Is he ever type words? He does type words, but

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 3>he likes an emoji. Does he ever send you a

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 3>picture of decoy? No, I haven't got a picture of

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I need to request one, all right.

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 2>And Dalton Rushing last night the hero of the game,

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>amongst others.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a guy that I feel has been framed really poorly.

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>That's not who he is. He's a great kid, a

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of great spirit. What did you see from him

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 2>in that at bat last night?

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 3>That showed you he.

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Has grown up a little bit or the maturity is

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 2>starting to set in.

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 3>I saw resilience.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, he's a young ballplayer who cares, who wants

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 4>to do his best every time out there, and so

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 4>when he doesn't perform to his expectation, he gets upset

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 4>and certainly visible for all of us to see.

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 3>But I think for me.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 4>Is you know, you have three bad at bats and

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 4>then the thing about baseball is that you could have

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 4>the worst game up to a certain point, and at

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.719
<v Speaker 4>a certain point the game might fall on your shoulders.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 4>And so last night it did and he had a

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 4>chance for redemption, and so he was able to put

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 4>aside those three at bats prior and focusing on that

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.679
<v Speaker 4>one at bat and he ultimately won the game for us.

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 3>So for me, I like the resilience.

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>What's Steve Roberts rule in helping him grow well?

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I think for me as a manager, it's not just

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 4>the baseball side of things and not just dullness all

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 4>my players, it's to help them grow as men and

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.079
<v Speaker 4>to you know, get perspective and learn from.

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Good, bad and different.

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 4>And so for me, I think that a lot of

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 4>conversations that I have with our guys and just the

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 4>belief that when you have these guys in the right

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 4>frame of mind, playing for the right reasons, the performer

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 4>it's on the field, we'll translate. And so that's a

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 4>lot of what I do as far as managing our players.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.719
<v Speaker 2>All Right, before we let Dave Roberts go so he

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 2>can meet and greed kiss babies.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Maybe pick you up with some quotas.

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Check out the dugout before first pitch.

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 3>If you're at a Dodger game and you've got a

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.559
<v Speaker 3>great view of the dugout.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 2>You see those guys celebrating, getting their handshakes going on.

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>What manager in baseball celebrates with the players and gets

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in on the handshakes.

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 3>The very private, you know, secret handshakes.

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 2>He dunks with Otani right before first pitch.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, how do you come up with these things?

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, these players come up with these things, and I

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 4>just follow the suit and I just want to show, Yeah,

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 4>I am the manager, but I do want to let

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 4>these guys know I'm in it with them, and we

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 4>do have our own every player that I have, we

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 4>have our own little handshakes.

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 3>So it's awesome.

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>So the Otani one, I thought it was funny the

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>other night against the Rays. He's obviously on with the

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 2>knee issue, so you usually he usually jumps up silvia you,

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>but you guys stood on the ground for the dunk

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>that time.

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we had to take care of his knee at

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 3>that time. So the last few.

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 4>Handshakes we did like a mild little layup.

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't really a dunk, all right. What other handshake

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 3>do you have?

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>With guys on your team, your players that you enjoyed.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, Mookie's the Mooky's a handshake, a hug

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 4>and I tell him I love him, And Max Munty's

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.559
<v Speaker 4>a chest bump.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Miggie row is a backhanded thing and I call out

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 3>his name.

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Freddie is a fist bump and a point to the

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 4>to the gods, and I yell out his name twice.

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 4>So we got a lot of different ones. And I'm

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 4>still trying to get Tucker to come out of it.

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 4>So he's not a handshake guy, but I'm getting to him.

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I think he only does sign language.

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 2>That's right, That's right, all right, Hey, maybe Dave Roberts,

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>we'll get a secret handshake with you when you take your.

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Photo with him. Show him the love he deserves. He

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 3>does this for the fans.

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 2>He loves the fans, and he has delivered three works

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 2>since and he's long for the three pat He would

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 2>become the only Dodger manager to do that, on top

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 2>of being the only Dodger manager to lead the Dodgers

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:15.280
