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

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, the Dodgers are getting set for a doubleheader

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>in the Bronx, and I'm joined right now by one

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.319
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers super relievers. I say one of them,

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodger bullpen has been phenomenal all season long.

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's the one and only Tanner Scott. Thanks a

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 2>lot for the time this morning, Tanner.

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Dave, Thanks a double header day. Thanks, You're welcome.

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 4>How do I look? How do I look right now?

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean tired? I mean no good good.

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>It's probably uh not Travis made might be missing man

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it is, and those genes might be Travis Mathews.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 4>I just meant the face.

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I don't know what I'm there.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 4>So what did you do with your night off in

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 4>New York? Last night?

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Hung out with the family, went to uh is it

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>called Lego World or just just Lego Lego Lego store

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and bought some Legos for my son.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 4>That's a very wholesome night in New York.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I wanted to stay inside.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Tanner, on a daylight today.

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>We all know about starters and players, but for relievers,

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>how do you guys prepare mentally and physically for a

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>double header.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>One game out of time. Yeah, I mean it's just

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>one game at a time. We got a Yama starting

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>game one, so that's huge. And then I mean just

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>go out there and try to get the first win

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:21.639
<v Speaker 1>and then move on to the second.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 2>You guys have a routine before every game, will you

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>repeat that routine between games? I mean, well, you guys

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 2>go out there and throw, you stretch.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Some some guys might go out there and throw in between,

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>but I mean usually some guys will do stuff in

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>here like bios or something. But it's all about getting

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>your body right. Worst case scenario, you can go down

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to the bullpen and they called down.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 3>You just throw a little more.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But uh no, I don't know how many guys have

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>done twelve seven double headers, but yeah, it all works out.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it always does. Tanner Scott is our guest. This

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>bullpen has a group. I know you're not about yourself,

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>but as a group, have you guys been able to

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 2>put it together in different ways? Because you look at

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>your style completely different than Jack Dryer or completely different

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>than how Alex Vesia does it. Do you feel like

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>that's an advantage. How you guys give hitters different looks.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean everyone everyone in

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>our bullpen's got great stuff. Jack has a pretty great

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>curveball he uses. And then Vessa's change up just came

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>out of no or So that's sweet.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 3>No, just going out there and just being who you are.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 4>Vesia has been working on that change up.

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>It's good. Yeah, it's good.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I usually I don't really stand by him during catch play,

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>but yesterday I saw it and I was like, Okay,

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I see.

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I see what it.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Is as a reliever when you're trying to develop a

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>new pitch like he is and use it in a game.

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 4>I got two pitches, I know, but as far as

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 4>he can.

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>I got two bitches. You can look at my track

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 3>record I throwing one change up in the big leagues.

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 4>I know, I went to the backstop.

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 2>But do you do you appreciate how a guy trusts

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 2>like that new pitch in a game.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 4>That's kind of a leap of faith.

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was working on a late last year.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, if you go in a full offseason,

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and you work on it, and then I mean,

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>our pitching coaches are great that hear that, just tell

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>him to throw it during like catch play, long toss.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's when you get a feel of it.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 3>And he used it all off season, so it's been good.

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Tanner at Gardo Enriquez a man of mystery. Obviously English

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>is not his first language.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 4>What can you do?

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 3>He's awesome, He's awesome.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Today he's wearing a messag jersey, so I don't understand

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>that it's not Venezuela, but I'll give it to him.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>So what have you seen as far as growth from

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>him from last year to this year?

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Just's he's comfortable. He's comfortable, confident and just goes out

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>there and he knows how to attack and he's got

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>great stuff.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like he's evolving into a picture more

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>than a thrower.

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh for sure.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean he's twenty four or five and he throws

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 5>up to one hundred and four, so I mean he's

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 5>definitely from when I was with the Padres and I

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 5>saw him throw when he first debuted, and.

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.119
<v Speaker 3>He was he had a live arm. But now it's

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 3>like he's a pitcher.

0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I did some research on you, Tanner.

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Scott one change up as a research to the backstop

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Rendo.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh geez, you make it sound like it was yesh

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>two count.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Pitchclock got down in one second. They called it change

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>up and I threw it.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that's okay, okay, ny four change up

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>registered fastball hurt my FeelA that day. Hey, before I

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>let you go, if you go back to spring training,

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned to some reporters about a side session and

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Oral Herdscheiser was a guest instructor.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 4>Did he really help you trying.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 3>To get a free car? No, I'm just joking. No,

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 3>he's uh, he's great. I mean I talked to him

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>all the time, and when he comes on the.

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Road and he does it's road broadcasting. Yeah, I mean

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>he's just a great dude. I mean he he wants

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>to be in your corner at all times and to

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>learn from someone that's done it.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 3>For so long. It was so good. I mean, what

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 3>was his scoreless.

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Streak fifty nine in the regular season, but in the

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.799
<v Speaker 2>postseason you include that sixty seven.

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I know. So, I mean he's good knowledge everywhere. I mean,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>whole organizations built off a lot of history. So it's

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>it's great to pick minds of people that like when

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Sandy comes in there too.

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Wow, Sandy, that's a legend.

<v Speaker 3>just it's you take you.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Take small things from conversations. You can't take it all

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>at once. If you take all at once, you get

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of overwhelmed by it. So it's just here and there,

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.360
