0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Charlie's gonna get upset if he comes

<v Speaker 1>to his locker and he sees me sitting in.

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>It if he comes over here, maybe a little bit.

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 3>He's got to get to his baseball cards.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Right behind you?

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.080

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 3>and just to spend some time with them and have

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:40.440

<v Speaker 2>Fun night.

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Some of the guys on the team, you know, spent

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>their off day with us, so it was it was

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>a fun overall night.

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 4>Did you host the live auction?

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do that specifically.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 3>We had like an auctioneer and stuff, so but overall,

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 3>I think everyone had a you know, fun time, and

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, it went pretty well.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Tucker is our guest in front of first pitch

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>last night. I'm not sure if you noticed this, but

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the fans gave you a pretty good ovation when you

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>came to the plate. Did you hear about this kind

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 1>of organic thing on social media where Dodger fans wanted

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to show you some love when you came to the plate.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean our our fans are great. I mean they

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 3>come out and sport us every single day. So it's

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 3>like almost every game we sell out, so they support us,

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 3>whether it's me or everyone else that comes up to

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 3>the play or into the games of pitch and whatnot.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>So I mean we try and go out there in

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>one game. So we've done a good job of that

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 2>overalls as a team this year.

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 3>So they're just gonna come out and keep supporting us,

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 3>and we're gonna try and go out there and can

0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 3>continue winning games.

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>As a guy that's getting ready to go into the

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>batter's box, are you so locked in that you block

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>all that out or were you able to say, hey,

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, they're actually like extending this ovation a

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>little longer.

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was nice. Most of the time.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't really hear any of like the music or noise,

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>like like background noise.

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it was cool, shown some some support

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot.

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, So you mentioned the team you guys have

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>been winning, got the second best record in baseball. You're

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>chasing the Brewers for the best record in baseball. When

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys get close to September. Is there something that

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>clicks for a team getting through the end of the

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>dog days of August?

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we play a long, long season, a lot

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>of games, so you just try and grind through them

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 3>and navigate it as.

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Best you can.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 3>But I remember, regardless if we're you know, in the

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>dog days of August like you said, or September April May,

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 3>we just still got to come out and you know,

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 3>play the game and try and win it.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>So we're just trying to show.

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Up every day and play in baseball and try and

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 3>come out with a win at at the end of

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 3>the game.

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday we talked to Chase Suttley, obviously a very intense player.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>He conceded the dog Days of August is something, but

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>he's retired. Will you ever concede it while you're playing

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.679
<v Speaker 1>that the dog Days of August is a real thing?

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean everyone's just got to, you know, play the

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>same amount of games and the same amount of you

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 3>know time, and regardless of what part of the year

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>it's in. So I mean, everyone's kind of in the

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 3>same boat when it comes to playing. So I just

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 3>kind of show up, try and try and play well

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 3>and try.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>And win the games, regardless of where we're at in

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>the season.

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Last night, no pun intended. You guys had a bad break.

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Andy Pa has got hit by a pitch, broke his

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>left hand. How much is that going to affect you

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>guys going down the stretch?

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Sough.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously you don't want to see anyone get hurt,

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>but I mean, and he's been a great, big part

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 3>of this team this year. I mean, you know, I'm

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 3>having his you know, ulsar start and everything, and you know,

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 3>playing pretty much every single game for us out in

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 3>center field, and he's done a phenomenal job in the

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 3>in the.

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Field, in the box on the basis.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>So hopefully you can get back as soon as possible

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 3>and you know, help us get to another World Series.

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Alec Thomas is in the starting lineup tonight.

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>You're familiar with him being on the Diamondbacks playing against him.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>How much communication do you guys have to have before

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the game to understand how much ground he covers? And

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to have any key k PI has

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 1>collisions like in the World Series last year.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you just figure that out during the game

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 3>and just trying to have smash communication as possible if

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 3>there's balls in between you. So, I mean, I know

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 3>he's he's gotten some big league time and you know

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 3>he's had a pretty good career, so you know, hopefully

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 3>just you know, steps into lineup and out into the

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 3>field and just continues to doing what he does every

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>single time.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Miguel Rojas, who is the Kyle Tucker whisper, I understand,

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>is that true? He told us that you can't try

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>any harder than you already are in baseball?

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean Megi's great. I mean he's you know,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 3>the locker right right here next to us as well.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 3>So I mean he's once again, I had a phenomenal career.

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 3>He's been playing for a while and kind of knows

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 3>what he needs to do every single day to get

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 3>prepared for the game or if he needs to come

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 3>into a game and such a situation. But Maggie's been

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 3>great for you know, this team, in this clubhouse.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Does he talk as much at his locker as he

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>does maybe on the bus or in the dugout?

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't think there's not really a time where

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 3>he goes off, But I mean that's that's a good thing.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 3>He's always positive and supportive of everyone. So it's it's

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 3>fun having mag you on this team.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Kyle, yesterday you changed your routine. You came out, took

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>batting practice on the field. I talked about that on

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Talk.

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Last home stand. Were you listening. Did you hear me

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 4>suggest that.

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, maybe maybe that's why I was out there,

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 3>but I don't know, just trying to get better and

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 3>try and figure some stuff out. So still got a

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 3>little over months after the season, and then obviously the

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 3>playoffs after that, So I'm just trying to get ready

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 3>for all that.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought about that because Freddie Freeman and Otani there

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 1>are guys like you that likes to hit inside, but

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>if they don't feel like they're going the right way,

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>take it outside. Is that the same line of thinking

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>for you? And what does it do for a hitter

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>to see the ball travel?

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean everyone's a little different.

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 3>Some people just like hitting in the cage and people

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>like hitting outside.

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Just kind of depends.

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 3>But just trying to figure something out and just trying

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 3>to get better at hitting.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 2>So just figure out and mix it up a little

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 2>bit with that.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Even at my age, I like to go to this

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>batting cage. It's Magic Castle and Sherman Oaks. It's not

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>one of those short cages where you hit it and

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>it only goes like ten feet. It has like a wide,

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>spacious area where you can really see the ball travel.

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm that type of guy that wants to see how

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 1>far it can go, because you know the saying in

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.559
<v Speaker 1>the nineties, chicks dig the long ball.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'd be interested to watch that. It should be fun,

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, I mean, sometimes you got to get out.

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I guess on one of those cages and see what

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 3>you got.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. I'm just trying to come out.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 3>And have good at bats and get prepared for the

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 3>game as best I can. Kind of what whatever happens

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 3>happens out there.

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, before I let you go, Monday is a big

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>day in this clubhouse. You got your fantasy football draft.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 4>A lot of people.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Want to know number one overall, what's in Kyle Tucker's head,

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>but specifically what's going on Monday?

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 4>What pick do you have?

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>And I've heard that you're you're a savvy fantasy football player.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess we got like the wrap around

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 3>with the twelve and thirteenth pick at the end. So

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean at that point, it's kind of just whoever's

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 3>available and you got to see where see where we're at.

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 3>But it should be a fun times.

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Your teammate Conorma.

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Oh that's a nice guy.

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I went with analytics over there.

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>So who's going to have the final says it's both

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>of us.

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, co GMS.

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know he's a Commander's fan, so don't get

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>sucked into that trap.

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I've heard he's got some loyalty over there.

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I actually been listening in doing some homework on fantasy

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>drafts right now. They're talking about taking Devon from the

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins and then you come back and you get Ashton

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Genty from the Raiders.

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 4>Do you like that back to back pick strategy.

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I can disclose what kind of

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 3>strategy were doing, but those are aren't aren't too bad

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 3>of a pick right there, So we'll see what happens

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 3>to see if they're available even.

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, one more football question for you. Uh, you're a

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Tampa guy. So are you a Buccaneers fan?
