Speaker 4: This is Dodger Fest.

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: We are live at Dodger Fest. Welcome the Dodger Talk

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Saturday Edition. Sabado Higante as they like to say. We

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: are in the Dodger Bullpen from ten am to one o'clock.

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Thank you to our friends at Verizon. Thank you to

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: our friends at Downey of Hyundai Hyundai Downy. This is

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: the bullpen that Can Jensen made famous. Three hundred and

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: fifty saves coming out of this bullpen for the Dodgers,

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: still a franchise record. But in twenty twenty six, this

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: is going to be the bullpen. Edwin Diaz comes out

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: for Timmy trumpet playing and serenading him and a man

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: that is going to be standing on the infield just

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: in just looking up maybe second base maybe third base,

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: maybe center field. I call him the glue of the Dodgers,

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: and he is leading us off rightfully. So a proud

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: new papa of a second child, the one and only

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund. Tommy, great to see you, and you're no

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: more scooter. You're actually standing on your own two feet.

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. Feels good, feels good to use this

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 4: foot again.

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Man.

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: Excited to be back and chatting with you again. To

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: the back to the season days.

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Man. When I was in Los Angeles, I brought my

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: son to see Tommy Edmund. He was in awe of

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund. But you were on a scooter and I

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: was really nervous. You assured me that you'd be ready

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: to go for spring training. Do you feel like you're

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: still that confident?

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, Look at me, no more scooter. Yeah

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 5: he was probably just staring at me with the scooter.

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: Back then, but no. But yeah, no, I'm feeling good,

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: feeling good.

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 5: I just started baseball activities again, so, you know, feeling

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 5: like I'm in a good spot going into spring.

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: What is baseball activities? Taking ground balls, shagging fly balls?

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: I mean for me, you know, I just want to

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: go into the cage.

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it means I get to pick up

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: a bat in the ball.

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 5: So I just very very lightly started swaying and started

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 5: throwing again this past week and then that'll just be

53
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: ramping up as we get closer to spring, and you know,

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 5: but I'm just really looking forward to being a baseball

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: player again.

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: That's gotta feel good, right Tommy, going back to taking

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: care of this ankle. I know you've been playing, you know,

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: through a lot of pain. Hopefully that pain's over with.

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: That's got to feel good to know that, you know,

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: there's only brighter pastures ahead of you and that ankle.

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the idea, is that that knocking it out

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 5: with the surgery, that I won't have to think about

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: this ankle as much anymore, and you know, just getting

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 5: back to a hundred percent and doing all the things

65
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 5: that I normally would be able to do on a

66
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 5: baseball field.

67
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: So I saw you before your wife gave birth to

68
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: your second child. Congratulations, Thank you, appreciate it. What's the

69
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: off season been like for you? Dealing with the ankle

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: surgery and her almost ready to give birth while you're

71
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: going and basically not able to really move around too much.

72
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, fortunately the timing worked out well. I think if

73
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: I was still on a scooter and and had to

74
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 5: help her take care of the baby, it would have

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 5: been a lot more difficult. But fortunately I'm a little

76
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 5: bit more mobile now able to help out. But yeah,

77
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: the baby's only baby. Ava is only a week old

78
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: right now, so you know, still getting adjusted to the

79
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 5: schedule and the rhythms of having a newborn. But it's

80
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: been so much fun. It's been fun to have her

81
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: and see my wife be a super mom. She's so tough,

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: such a champ. And then having Eli be a big

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: brother as well has been really cool and just a

84
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: blessing to see our family continue to grow.

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: Nothing like having a baby girl right As a dad,

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: we always talk about having a son. Eli obviously is

87
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: in the world, But what's it like to have a

88
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: baby girl in your arms.

89
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm going to be a pushover for sure. Yeah,

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 5: I can already tell whatever she wants. I'm if she

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: goes to Mom and asks for suddenly and she says no,

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 5: I know she's gonna come right to me and I'll

93
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 5: probably say yes. But but yeah, it's so much fun.

94
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: I just can't wait to see her continue to grow

95
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 5: up and you know, hopefully we can just be good parents.

96
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: For no doubt, she's got a great mom and dad,

97
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: and that's the foundation. My guy Tommy Edmond is joining us.

98
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: He's leading off Dodger Fest for us. We're here until

99
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: one o'clock right here on a have five seventy LA Sports.

100
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: All Right, I haven't seen you since the Dodgers signed

101
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz and Kyle Tucker. What message are the Dodgers

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: sending to the rest of you as far as going

103
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 2: for this three.

104
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: Peete, Yeah, clearly, we're not satisfied.

105
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: You know, we're going for as many World Series championships

106
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 5: as we can. And you know, we're really attacked this

107
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: offseason hard. You know, after winning two in a row.

108
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 5: I feel like a lot of people kind of I thought,

109
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 5: you know, maybe they'll be a little bit complacent this offseason,

110
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: but you know, signed to two of the best free

111
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 5: agents out there, so we're amped. We're really excited, really

112
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 5: excited to meet those guys and and see how they

113
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 5: become part of the clubhouse. You know, how they mess

114
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 5: with the culture of the team. For everything I've heard,

115
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: they're both awesome guys who are gonna fit in really well, so,

116
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: you know, really looking forward to meeting the Mount in Arizona.

117
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: Maybe before then, but yeah, it's gonna be great to

118
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 5: have those two guys and such talented players too, So

119
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a lot of fun to have those guys.

120
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts does such a great job of keeping you

121
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: fresh and understanding the big picture as you're coming back

122
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: from this right ankle surgery. Where do you start? Do

123
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: you start at second base? Do you start to long

124
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: uh long toss to get your arm ready for center field?

125
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: What's the process for you as you get ready for

126
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: this season?

127
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean to be honest, it kind of just

128
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 5: feels like at this point it's more of like a

129
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 5: traditional offseason, like almost like that that phase of baseball

130
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 5: is starting out now just a little bit later than

131
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: it normally would. So you know, I'm just getting back

132
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 5: into my swings like I would in a normal offseason,

133
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: you know, starting with tea and then flips and then

134
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: saying with the throwing progression as well, and then just

135
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: continuing to stay on top of my ankle and building

136
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: back up to the U to getting back to full

137
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: sprints and acceleration and everything like that. So that's kind

138
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 5: of what I'll be working on as we get out

139
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 5: to Arizona and start the workouts. You know, I probably

140
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 5: won't be hopping in with like the live abs with

141
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 5: everybody right away, but you know, I'll just be building

142
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 5: back up to that.

143
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: All right, Tommy, before I let you go, Since you've

144
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: had a lot of time at home rehabbing that right ankle,

145
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: watching go over your pregnant wife, have you watched any

146
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: full games, maybe a full Game seven of the World Series,

147
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: or have you watched key plays in the ninth inning

148
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: maybe earlier? You know Pa has running into keyk Have

149
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: you been able to look back at those Do you

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: even want to? I don't understand how a guy that

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: was so involved, how do you handle all that?

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 6: Yeah?

153
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: It is.

154
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 5: It is very weird to I think the first time

155
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 5: I watched it again, it.

156
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: Was crazy to relive all of those plays.

157
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: And because when you're in the moment, you're not really

158
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 5: thinking too much about you know, the scope of each

159
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 5: individual play. But you go back and watch it and

160
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: you see the crowd's reaction, you see the reaction of

161
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 5: everybody on the field, and you think, Wow, I was

162
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: in that. I was part of that moment, and you

163
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: realize how big of a moment it was, so watching it.

164
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 5: Watching that first time was pretty crazy, and then we've

165
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 5: watched it numerous times after because that's one of Eli's

166
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: favorite things to do is to watch baseball games, and

167
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: unfortunately in the off season there's no baseball to be played,

168
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: so we go back and rewatch those games. So I

169
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: think he's probably rewatched Game seven, maybe you.

170
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: Know, ten or eleven times. But you know, it's fun,

171
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: it's awesome.

172
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 5: It's really cool to have my son already be in

173
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: baseball at two years old, so he's he's looking forward

174
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 5: to season as well.

175
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: So you were in Monterey Park meeting in greeting fans.

176
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: That was an experience. I'm sure maybe I'll ask get

177
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: this way. You're probably one of the few Dodgers that

178
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: got to touch hands with the fans after winning back

179
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: to back championships. Did that make you realize how much

180
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: it meant to so many people and their families. Yeah,

181
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: you realize how much it means to a lot of

182
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: people here.

183
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

184
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 5: I think that's what makes those events so cool is

185
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: you actually get to interact with the people that you

186
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: see every day. You know, you see him in the

187
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: stands and you know they're there and you know they

188
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 5: have the support, but you never really get to have

189
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: those direct interactions. So you know, having those moments where

190
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: you get to meet the fans in person and really

191
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 5: get a grasp of you know, how much winning that

192
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: championship meant to them. So you know, it's really cool

193
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 5: to have that, and that's what makes events like this

194
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: FanFest really cool as well.

195
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: Hey, the only thing Tommy Edmond has done since he

196
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: was acquired by the Dodgers is went back to back

197
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: World Series Championships. What a start to your Dodger career.

198
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: Look forward to a three peet run here and just

199
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: being around you guys, because I respect the process and

200
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: the grind that you guys put in. It just doesn't happen.

201
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: And so congratulations on a back to back World Series Championships.

202
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: Congratulations on baby Ava, and look forward to seeing you

Speaker 2: out there in Arizona. If you need me to assist

Speaker 2: in the rehab, let me know.

Speaker 4: We might need some babysitting help as well, so I'll

00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: make sure to hit you up.

207

210
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: me hold your baseball bats. You know, I don't let

211
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people hold the microphone.

212
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 4: That's true. Hopefully I didn't didn't mess it up anyway.

213
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, I trust you.

214
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:32,400

215
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,679

Speaker 2: I never go into the ocean because of that.

228
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: Really scared of sharks.

229
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, actually most sharks are not aggressive, Like,

230
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 5: they don't really tack humans that often.

231
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120

Speaker 8: I mean, this will be my third third year in

287
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,000

288
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000

289

Speaker 2: And I totally remember you having a very unstable locker.

293
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: It was one of those makeshift lockers by the front door.

294
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: I feel like you're gonna have a real locker this year.

295
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: That's nice.

296

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's step one. Yep, definitely there. You got to

298
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: have a real locker. Yeah, absolutely, what I know We've

299
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: talked about this earlier this offseason. About just coming back

300
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: from it becoming a better pitcher. The guy that was

301
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 2: really singing your praises I spoke to again earlier today

302
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: was Kyle Hurt. You guys spend a lot of time

303
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: together for him to see you be able to go

304
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: from being right out of surgery to see what he

305
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: saw in September. When you have your teammate's confidence, does

306
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: that give you confidence?

307
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 9: Yeah?

308
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 8: Absolutely, it's super encouraging, you know when especially like going

309
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 8: to the whole rehab process with Kyle and kind of

310
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 8: being neck and neck there as far as like how

311
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 8: far apart we were in our you know, post ops

312
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 8: and just being able to just bounce a lot of

313
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 8: things off each other through the entire process has been

314
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 8: super encouraging. But yeah, really kind of words from Kyle then,

315
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 8: you know, and again it's super super encouraging to me

316
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 8: to hear those things.

317
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: When you see the roapemap for a guy that went

318
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: through something similar as you did in Mit Sheen and

319
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: the way the Dodgers uh slow slowly allowed him to

320
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: get his feet underneath him and bring him in the

321
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: second half of the season, does that give you a vision,

322
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: a roadmap of what it could be like for you

323
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: as far as their patience with you, and maybe the

324
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: second half you're you're emerging as this year's version of

325
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: m it shean.

326
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 10: Yeah.

327
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, I really don't know what what the

328
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 8: plan is as far as I mean, the only thing

329
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 8: that I've really been focused on is getting ready for camp.

330
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I've said earlier today that we kind of

331
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 8: came to the consensus of, you know, after after Arizona

332
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 8: and my my last live outing, it'll either jump straight

333
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 8: into that into the postseason or go home and have

334
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 8: a normal offseason, be ready to for spring training. And

335
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm I'm focused on making the team out

336
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 8: of camp and just being being being a guy for him.

337
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 8: That's that's been my goal, and that's that's what I'm

Speaker 8: wife about it. I Mean, the whole thing was I

344
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,680

402
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: don't even make the playoffs. In my opinion, If you remember,

403
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: these two young guys right here contributed mightily from start

404
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: to When you both look back at your season, how

405
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: proud are both of you of what you were able

406
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: to do to help the team get to the finish line.

407
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: I'll start with bank Asparius and his beard.

408
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 6: It was special.

409
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: I think just the different roles that we took on. Obviously,

410
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: being healthy and sustainable throughout a season is important too,

411
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: and that's something to you know, be proud of, But

412
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: just to be able to fill some gaps, throw in

413
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: different situations, help the team when when we needed to,

414
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: it goes a long way, and that's what I'm most

415
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: proud of for sure.

416
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean for me, you know, having this be

417
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 11: of the year that I debuted, and you know, getting

418
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 11: to learn everything from so many future Hall of famers,

419
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 11: especially twenty two, it was just an unbelievable experience. But

420
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 11: then to see what, you know, our starters did in

421
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 11: the playoffs, you know, whatever role they took on coming

422
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 11: out of the pen, ya'ma being crazy and winning three

423
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 11: out of the four World Series games like that. That's

424
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 11: the kind of culture that you want to have within

425
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 11: a team and the kind of like die hard, do

426
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 11: whatever it takes to win, And so it was.

427
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: It was cool to see and to be a part

428
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: of that.

429
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: Ben, Where's Jack gonna live? I mean, Kershaw took him

430
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: in for two weeks last year, gave him a taste

431
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: of the good life by the beach. Where's Jack Dryer

432
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: gonna live this year?

433
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 6: It's a good that's a good question. That's a good question.

434
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: Are you taking him in?

435
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 6: I don't know. I would have to, I would, he would.

436
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 6: It would be a package deal with his.

437
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: Wife too, So I forgot. You're married.

438
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 7: That's right.

439
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 11: My wife and I are looking at places right now,

440
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 11: but I don't know if it can withstand what what

441
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 11: I experienced with Kershaw.

442
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was pretty cool.

443
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: Is this Dryer's first interview since being married?

444
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 7: Yes?

445
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 6: Wow, that's your answer.

446
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: I did you get the invite to the wedding? I didn't.

447
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've gotten sent out yet. I

448
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: would I would, I would don't.

449
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 11: I don't think anybody got them because we did it alone.

450
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: Oh hey, I like that. That's like the twenty twenty

451
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: sixth style of getting married. Trust me, I I agree

452
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: with that. You're just throwing a party for a bunch

453
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: of mooches that want to have an open bar. You

454
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: could spare.

455
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that.

456
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: Hey, since we are standing in your home away from home,

457
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: the Dodger Bullpen, standing here, what are some of the

458
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 2: memories you have of last year?

459
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 3: Man?

460
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 11: I mean, getting getting to watch some of the special moments,

461
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 11: you know, clinching the the CS and the DS, probably

462
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 11: Kershaw's three thousand strikeout, you know, all different kinds of experiences.

463
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 11: To get to see from this vantage point is really special.

464
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: I think my favorite part about the bullpen in general

465
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: is seeing guys from our seats over there get to

466
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: warm up and then the actual moment like throw the

467
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: rosin bag down, put a ball down, and watch them

468
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: just run out onto the field and hear everybody starts screaming.

469
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: I think that's the coolest part. I actually just got goosebumps.

470
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: But it's just cool, Like the different moments guys go

471
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: into saving opportunities, playoff opportunities.

472
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 6: I always think that's pretty cool. I always remember.

473
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: That Robleski said he couldn't remember who one the bullpen

474
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: game of picking home runs? Can you let us know

475
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: who won that game last year? That contest?

476
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 11: I don't know for sure, but with with Jonathan erb

477
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 11: calling a shot and catching the ball, that definitely put

478
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 11: him ahead.

479
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 4: So I I think that he ended up being the winner.

480
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: That's your bullpen trainer, ye right.

481
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 6: I think he. I think he took it home this year.

482
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 2: Yea. Does that count very much?

483
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: So?

484
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of your dogs, right, the trainer is

485
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: one of your dogs.

486
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 6: He's the best.

487
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: Hey, Jack Dreyer's got a baseball card now, that means

488
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: he's arrived, right, Ben.

489
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely, I had I had him sign one for

490
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 6: me yesterday.

491
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: Actually nice which one the Allen and ginter or just

492
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: the regular?

493
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 6: It was a Bowman Chrome.

494
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: Okay, it was pretty cool. It feels like baseball players

495
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: are really getting into collecting baseball cards. Is that a

496
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: fair evaluation of what's what's trending now?

497
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 10: Yeah?

498
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 11: I think it's a hobby that's definitely coming back, you know,

499
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 11: to be able to collect car for guys that you

500
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 11: play with or against is pretty fun, and you know

501
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 11: it's it's just something that you can do in the

502
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 11: clubhouse to kill time to connect with guys.

503
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: So it's great, Caspira seems too cool to even dabble

504
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: with dungeons and dragons or roadblocks or baseball carve Pokemon.

505
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: That seems beneath you. Yeah, that seems beneath you. That

506
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: would ruin your street crew.

507
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 6: I don't want to say it's beneath me. I just

508
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 6: don't know anything.

509
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 2: Okay out it. Yeah, so I'm with you.

510
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 11: Maybe I was too cool, but I think it's a

511
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 11: slippery slope once you start with baseball, it's it doesn't

512
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 11: take much.

513
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna trickle down.

514
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: So so you know, game eighty or so, when you

515
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: see me opening up Pokemon cards, we can come back

516
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: to this.

517
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: Commers.

518
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 3: It's good.

519
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: Hey, great to see both of you. I will not

520
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: let anybody forget what you meant to the twenty twenty

521
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: five Dodgers and how much you guys are going to

522
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: mean to the twenty six Dodgers. So keep the spirit

523
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: of Kershaw alive this year.

524

00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: to be found yet. He will be around though all

533
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: season long because the Dodgers will be giving Edwin Diaz

534
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: many save opportunities. And we're joined right now by a

535
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: man that joined the Dodgers at the trade deadline last

536

542
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 7: Of last year.

543
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: I remember the first day that you joined the Dodgers.

544
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 2: It was sweltering and Tampa, Florida. That was Could you

545
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: have ever envisioned the season and the way it went

546
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 2: for you and the team after you joined them kind.

547
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 9: Of actually, I mean when you told you get traded

548
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 9: the Dodgers, you're like, well, the Dodgers are the best

549
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 9: team ever. I mean, that's the best team I've ever

550
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 9: seen assembled on paper.

551
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 7: And to be going to that team.

552
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 9: And having a chance to play in the World Series,

553
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 9: it was just like, Oh, my gosh, my dreams, my

554
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 9: childhood dreams are gonna come true. And obviously there's a

555
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 9: lot of work that goes in. When I got to

556
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 9: when I got to Tampa Bay for the first time

557
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 9: and we were melting in the heat, I was like,

558
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 9: you know, okay, wow, things are Actually we're actually kind

559
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 9: of in a kind of a tougher stretch right now.

560
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 9: But I feel like the confidence was there from every guy,

561
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 9: every staff member, like we're gonna turn it on.

562
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 7: We're gonna we.

563
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 9: Know, we can't just flip a switch or we're gonna

564
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 9: play some good baseball and it's just a matter of

565
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 9: time before we get everybody healthy, everybody rolling, and we'll

566
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 9: be the Dodgers that everybody expected. And you know, it's

567
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 9: and then it ended up turning out and there wasn't

568
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 9: always always wasn't always perfect, but we made it happen in.

569
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: The end, there had to be some intrigue on just

570
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 2: how they do things here to be as good as

571
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: they dan for so long. What did you learn about

572
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: the process behind the scenes, on how this team has

573
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: so much talent but also finds a way to stay

574
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: focused in any situation.

575
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think it's a tribute to all

576
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 9: the guys and just the organization, how they go about

577
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 9: really caring about winning, you know, pouring back investing into

578
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 9: the team and not just players, but in personnel and.

579
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 7: Technology.

580
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, technology, every everything, advanced scouting, advanced data, whatever, whatever

581
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 9: can turn the notch up just a little bit more

582
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 9: is what they're.

583
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 7: Willing to do. And that's what it takes to win.

584
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 9: And I think that it's really special to be a

585
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 9: part of it because I love taking advantage of that staff.

586
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 9: Like you want to give me, I will try to.

587
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 9: I don't want to leave any stone unturned when it

588
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 9: comes to Alex call I want to get the best

589
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 9: version of Alex call out every single day, every single

590
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 9: opportunity that I have. That's always been mindset, my mindset,

591
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 9: and so then coming to a place where they want

592
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 9: to get the absolute best, the best, the top notch

593
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 9: out of every single player. Well, then I can take

594
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 9: that and partner with them and becoming the best version

595
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 9: of myself. And I'm really excited for this year.

596
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: What's it like for you to have a full spring

597
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: training with this team, coming back as a world champion,

598
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: and just being a little bit more comfortable in your environment.

599
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I'm super excited and I'm ready to go.

600
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 9: It'll be you know, you know, feel it out a

601
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 9: little bit how the Dodgers do spring training versus how

602
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 9: you know the Nationals did or whatever.

603
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 7: But it'll be great. We'll be getting ready for the year.

604
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 9: It'll be super focused on just making sure our bodies

605
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 9: are ready, our bodies are right and our minds are

606
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 9: in the right spot, getting ready for a one sixty

607
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 9: two grind. And so, yeah, I couldn't be more excited

608
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 9: for spring training. It's right around the corner and I

609
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 9: feel great and ready to.

610
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: Go before I let you go, You're a great guy

611
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: to ask this question too, because everybody has a story,

612
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: everybody has their thoughts being an outfielder, knowing how to

613
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: play all three outfield positions. When we watch that play

614
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 2: where Andy pa has collides with Keik Hernandez when you

615
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: watch it, when you were watching it live, can you

616
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 2: take us through what you felt in the moment and

617
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 2: just how tough and how lucky in some ways the

618
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: Dodgers did not lose the World Series on that play.

619
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you have to look at it from

620
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 9: two angles, you know, Key K and Andy.

621
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 7: You know, with Kei K, he was.

622
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 9: Playing shallo and his initial read was kind of more

623
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 9: like sideways, not necessarily back. So he had his back

624
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 9: turn and he was grinding to go get the ball.

625
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 9: And when you're in that position as an outfielder, it's

626
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 9: not a comfy one. It's not one of confidence. Like

627
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 9: I think he would have been to catch the ball

628
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 9: if and he wasn't there. But when you're catching the

629
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 9: ball over your shoulder, that's not a guarantee. You know,

630
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 9: that's one of the hot, the lowest percentage ones.

631
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 7: I would say.

632
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 9: But then from Andy's perspective, he's just going to get

633
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 9: the ball.

634
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 7: He's going to get the ball.

635
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 9: And at the last second, you know, as the center fielder,

636
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 9: you're the captain, you're the guy.

637
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 7: If I can get this ball, I'm gonna catch it.

638
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 9: So that was what his mindset was, and he went

639
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 9: up and he got the ball at all costs, at

640
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 9: all means necessary, dunking on key K. You know, a

641
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 9: picture for a lifetime, but so cool. And me I

642
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 9: was just like, oh my gosh, because I thought it

643
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 9: was it was Keyk's ball that he was going to get,

644
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 9: and I saw his back turning and I was thinking,

645
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 9: oh no, that's that's not a high percentage, and he's

646
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 9: scrambling at it and then all of a sudden, here

647
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 9: comes Andy and he catches it, and uh, you know,

648
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 9: it was just it was surreal and then it's like

649
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 9: just complete joy, bliss and relief because it didn't look

650
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 9: good initially.

651
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: From your vantage point. Did you think Pa has caught it?

652
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: Did you believe key K or Pa has caught it?

653
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: What were you thinking?

654
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 9: I mean, my mind was going a million miles an hour,

655
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 9: so I don't really know what I was thinking. I

656
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 9: was just trying to find the ball. And then when

657
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 9: Andy was just like confident had the ball, and it

658
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 9: was just like, oh, yes, you know, that's really what

659
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 9: I was feeling. I just, you know, a fan like

660
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 9: anybody else who it's like, man, I was feeling that

661
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 9: My heart was beating and huge relief when he caught

662
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 9: the ball.

663
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 7: And go to the next inning.

664
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: Love it. Hey, I needed your expertise on that. You're

665
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: one of the highest baseball like you guys, I know,

666
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Everybody has a story.

667
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 7: Right, oh man, everybody does.

668
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 9: Everybody's got a vantage point and uh happy to share it.

00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for stopping. You look great. Congratulations on

670
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,160

Speaker 7: Happy, Yep, we're happy. Family of four.

672
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: Now, that's beautiful. Can't wait to see a camel Back ranch.

673
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: Your first full spring training in camel Back Ranch with

674
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, World champion Dodgers.

675
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 7: That's right, World champion Dodgers.

676
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: Thanks Dave, Thanks for stopping. Appreciate it. There he is

677
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: the man. Alex Call. They want a photo of us,

678
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: Alex Call. We're gonna do this live on the radio. Baby, Yeah,

679
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: here we go. Yeah.

680
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 7: Geez cheezy.

681
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: I haven't said cheese in a while. That's a dad

682
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: right there. That's a dad that says cheez right there.

683
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: That's a true dad. Oh man, that's great. Alex Call.

684
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: Looking great. It's gonna get a lot of opportunities during

685
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: spring training with the World Baseball Classic. He certainly is

686
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: a guy that's comfortable coming off the bench and whatever

687
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: role the Dodgers need for him, he is going to

688
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: be ready. You need guys like that that are comfortable

689
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: starting every game or being a regular. You need those

690
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: type of guys. Not everybody is going to start on

691
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: this team. You're going to have to embrace the role

692
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: that you have. And for the Dodgers, they've got guys

693
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: like Miguel Rojas who certainly embraced his role or he

694
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been ready to come off the bench in

695
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: Game six. You got Alex Call, you got Paez. You're

696
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: gonna have guys like that that are really going to

697
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: need to embrace coming off the bench, pinch hitting spots,

698
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: starting double switching into the game in the middle of

699
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: the game. I know the starting lineup gets a lot

700
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: of attention, and rightfully so, but it's gonna take all

701
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: these guys for the Dodgers to get through this season.

702
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: And I feel like everybody realizes that it's a long

703
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: year and you're gonna need all forty guys. I thought,

704
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: that's what makes twenty twenty five so special is during

705
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: the World Series run, the playoff run, you think back

706
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: to you know, even the Wildcard series. Yamamoto was the

707
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: staple of the entire October run for the Dodgers, but

708
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: Blake Snell. Without him, the Dodgers are not even in

709
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: the World Series. With the way he and Yamamoto pitched

710
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: in the first three rounds of the postseason against the Reds,

711
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: against the Phillies, and against the Brewers. Obviously, Yamamoto was

712
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: the star among stars in the postseason run for the

713
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers in October, but Teoscar Hernandez. He had a huge

714
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: home run in Game one the Nlds in Philly. Ta

715
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez was the Dodgers offense against the Phillies the Brewers.

716
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: Otani was ignited in Game four of the World Series,

717
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: where he obviously hit three home runs and struck out ten,

718
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: one of the greatest postseason performances ever by a major

719
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: league player. So if you look at it and then

720
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: you look at the World Series, Justin Dean, Justin Dean

721
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: was not even a thought at this point in time.

722
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: He wasn't even on anybody's radar at this stage of

723
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: Dodger Fest. And he's used as a defensive replacement because

724
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmunds right ankle was busted and Dave Roberts needed

725
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: some speed out there. By the way, justin Dean, he

726
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: was going to be playing in the Mexican League before

727
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers called his agent and said, hey, what do

728
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: you want to come to camp with us, about two

729
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: weeks before spring training, and then he makes such a

730
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: big play, was such a vital role. Miguel Rojas, who

731
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: did not play the first five games of the World Series,

732
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: was ready to go. You know, it's hard to do

733
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: Dodger talk when you have such a great presence in

734
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: the bullpen with you, a man that's been an inspiration

735
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: to me in my career, the great Lon Rosen thirty

736
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: years ago. Yesterday, Magic Johnson came back to play for

737
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and Lon Rosen, I'm sure had a front

738
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: row seat to all that. But maybe Lawn wants to

739
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: come on the show really endorse me publicly. He doesn't

740
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: like to be seen with me in public, so I

741
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: guess not. Yeah, he's just waving from afar there he goes,

742
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: great man doesn't like anybody saying that. But great Man

743
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: Jim Hill's in the house here, So we got Dodger

744
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: talk for you. Until one o'clock. Want to say thank

745
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: you to my good friend Sam at Downy Hunday. Had

746
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: a great time to visit with him over this past

747
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: week and they are a proud sponsor of Dodger Fest.

748
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: Can't wait to be down there. It is a party,

749
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: by the way, when you go down to Downy Hundai,

750
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: it is a big time party. They got TVs. If

751
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: you want to buy a car, go watch a Dodger game.

752
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: They got TVs in the trunk in the showroom. That's

753
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: the type of guys that they are at Downy Hunday.

754
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: And they got spotlights. We're gonna be doing some things.

755
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: Sam's a great guy too. Love that guy. Also, want

756
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: to say thank you to I guess Adrian Gonzalez. I

757
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: got word that Adrian Gonzalez has sent burritos to the

758
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: clubhouse to feed the people. He owns a pizza place

759
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: and a burrito place in Los Angeles. So thank you

760
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: to Adrian Gonzalez. Maybe somebody wants to bring me one

761
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: of those burritos. You know, you never know. Adrian, by

762
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 2: the way, was the guy that started the taco truck

763
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: at spring training. It was Adrian Gonzalez that started the

764
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: tradition of buying taco's a specific day during spring training.

765
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: And also, you know, I think it's become a more

766
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: of an everyday thing after Adrian moved on from the Dodgers,

767
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: then Justin Turner picked it up and got it going.

768
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a it's a great uh. It's

769
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 2: a great tradition that was started by Adrian Gonzalez, who,

770
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: if you remember, was the trade that signal this Dodger

771
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: ownership was serious about turning the fortunes of this franchise,

772
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: and they have taken it to a big time level.

773
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: Here he is in his home away from home. I

774
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: feel like I'm a guest in his house because he

775
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: has done so many great things. This is where he

Speaker 2: When you step in here in this setting. What are

791
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: some of the memories that you have of last year

792
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: being with your brothers in the bullpen?

793
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 12: Uh, watching Investia, going to a game, watching Blake, going

794
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 12: to a game like the playoffs?

795
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 3: What else?

796
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: How good were you at picking home runs last year?

797
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 3: Not great? I think I only had like two.

798
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 7: Who won that?

799
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 2: By the way, somebody I don't know Asparius and Jack

800
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 2: Dryer said it was your trainer, Jonathan RB.

801
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

802
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, because it was a home run that he

803
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 12: caught that he actually called in Miami, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

804
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 12: So you gotta forget her.

805
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: No, he's not.

806
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: I think about him. I think about it every single

807
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: other week.

808
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: You know.

809
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 12: He checks in a lot with me. So you know,

810
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 12: I love those guys. They take care of me, the organization,

811
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 12: everything about it is just I love it.

812
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 13: So but.

813
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 12: I'm trying to think of the best memory of twenty

814
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 12: twenty five in the bullpen. I mean, I guess I

815
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 12: would have to go with the home run call oh

816
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 12: tiny home run in Miami. So I think that was

817
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 12: the best one, just because, like we were talking about

818
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 12: the scenario of what could potentially happen in the sense

819
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 12: of Barto, the bullpen coach is sitting at the end

820
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 12: of John, who called him J Bone, was sitting in

821
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 12: in the middle. I was sitting next to him, and

822
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 12: they we're talking about the scenario of like, Okay, what

823
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 12: if he hits it and he misses it, it hits

824
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 12: him in the face.

825
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.

826
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 12: We're talking about that the ball gets hit, it's coming

827
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 12: to us, and like the amount of like freaking out

828
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 12: was hysterical. And then him catching it was just like

829
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 12: the cherry on top. So like it was, Yeah, that

830
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 12: was funny. That was a good that was a good memory.

831
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: Did you know he had a press conference the day after.

832
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: I heard I heard about it.

833
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard about it, and uh, it was good.

834
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 3: It's good.

835
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 12: I love that, you know, things happened like that, so

836
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 12: you know, you can just have people interact and with

837
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 12: the media and like kind of get a sense of

838
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 12: what we kind of go through.

839
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was cool.

840
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 12: It was it was cool. I heard about it. He

841
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 12: said he had a great time. It was funny. He

842
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 12: said he was really nervous. Oh, but it comes with

843
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 12: the territory.

844
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: I guess how has Anthony bonda'zof season been. Is it

845
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: similar to the first off season after winning your first

846
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 2: World Series or yeah?

847
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 12: Yeah, I would say I took a little bit more

848
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 12: time to.

849
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 3: Give my arm or break. I.

850
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: Uh, that's a good thing. You threw a lot.

851
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, you know, I think I took a little

852
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 12: longer break than usual.

853
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: But as far as everything else, kind of the same. Yeah.

892
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: going for three p Do you feel like you've planted

893
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,279

894
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,240
