<v Speaker 2>first career pinching a home run at Dodgers Stadium his

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 2>second career pinching a home run in the seventh inning. Miguel,

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>obviously you've done that before. We've seen you go over

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the left field wall, but for you to do it

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.639
<v Speaker 2>against that left in that situation, what were you thinking

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>coming off the bench?

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 1>It was a special you know, every time you had

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to give your team, UH the w with

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a one swing off the off the bench, he means

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>allah for those players that are coming uh that are

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>not playing every day, but we always ready for the

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and UH looking forward to uh to help the

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>team win and and continue to do a job and

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>be the best of what we do, which is coming

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>off the bench and and giving this guys break. It

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>means it means a lot. I've been working really hard

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to get better as a pinch here. This is something

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that I have never done in my career. UH. This

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>this often like right now, I'm trying to work on

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>my swing and my mechanics to be ready for those opportunities.

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just one pitcheon done. So I've been talking to

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who had experience on it, and

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the results of the past couple

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 1>of days has been better.

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>What did you take into that bat from who you've

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>talked to?

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like you've gotta be ready to uh

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to attack, you know, like you can really go out

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>there and and feel like, Okay, what what what am

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I gonna do right here to feel good about myself?

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be ready to go if it's in the

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>strike zone. And and That's what I've been doing. It

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter who I face, you know, I'm I'm positive

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that I can handle left and the pitcheon and and

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the numbers said it, and I just I just go

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>in with the confidence that I gonna attack the strike

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>zone as soon as I throw one in there. It

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter if it's a fastball, corboll change or whatever

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it is. I just gonna be ready to attack. And

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's what happened tonight. Is sometimes like that I

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>walk to because I'm aggressive in the song and I'm

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>taking pitches away from the songe Nikki.

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>There was a lot of energy in the crowd. Tonight

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Filipino Heritage Night. What did you tell show hey when

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>you crossed home plate.

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>We did our little celebration and I was asking if

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>if Dickoy wasn't the understand so he wasn't here today,

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>but uh, we always asked something to our celebration and

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he's nice. When we hit home runs, he obviously he

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>went way more than me. But when I hit them

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and I see the best player in the world waiting

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>for me at home play, that make it extra special.

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Last question, do you want to buy a vowel?

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.160
