Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey or Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: It's a rainy easter Sunday in our nation's capital. I'm
Speaker 1: joined right now by one of the heroes from last
Speaker 1: year's World Series and obviously a very valuable member this
Speaker 1: year of the Dodgers pitching staff, and that's Justin Robleski.
Speaker 2: Happy Easter, Happy Easter, God bless.
Speaker 1: Do left handers celebrate Eastern.
Speaker 2: They do, They do the contrary to popular belief, they do.
Speaker 1: They do. Hey, you're in a pretty special corner here
Speaker 1: with a few lefties. Is that Do you feel like
Speaker 1: they've quarantined you guys together? Would you like to be
Speaker 1: surrounded by more righties? No?
Speaker 2: I think I think it's okay. I think you know,
Speaker 2: lefties are a little weird, so we got to stick
Speaker 2: together over here.
Speaker 1: Do you have anything that we would consider abnormal as
Speaker 1: far as getting ready to pitch?
Speaker 2: Probably not find nothing too abnormal, pretty pretty standard.
Speaker 1: What's a day like this for you? I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: you and Roki are kind of synced up as far
Speaker 1: as your throat days. There's rain in the forecast. How
Speaker 1: do you stay ready, stay focused whenever you might be
Speaker 1: needed today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just the same old, same as normal.
Speaker 2: Just stay ready to pitch, be ready to go, and
Speaker 2: you know, treat it as kind of a semi start
Speaker 2: kind of deal. But today's a little different, so we'll
Speaker 2: see all goes all right.
Speaker 1: And after today, the Dodgers are headed back to Canada, Toronto,
Speaker 1: where you guys are able to pull out an incredible
Speaker 1: comeback of the World Series. How excited are you to
Speaker 1: go back there and kind of relive all that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fired up. I think, you know, I'm excited
Speaker 2: to just go play a good team. I think that's
Speaker 2: kind of what I'm more excited about. They got a
Speaker 2: great team over there, you know, a lot of really
Speaker 2: good players, so I'm excited to you know, go out
Speaker 2: there and face the challenge. So yeah, I think that's
Speaker 2: that's the most exciting part to me. And then obviously
Speaker 2: the atmosphere there is great. It's it's a really fun
Speaker 2: place to play, so I'm excited.
Speaker 1: The fans are obviously going to be as loud as
Speaker 1: they were in Game seven. We've all circled this road
Speaker 1: trip since the schedule came out. Are we a little
Speaker 1: bit more excited for this than the guys? In this clubhouse.
Speaker 2: Probably probably, I think, you know, it's a new year.
Speaker 2: We got a lot of new faces in here. We're
Speaker 2: trying to trying to, you know, win as many games
Speaker 2: as we can. And uh, yeah, I think you got
Speaker 2: to turn the page from last year. It was a
Speaker 2: great year. But I think turned the page and you know,
Speaker 2: get moved forward to this year. It's they're both different
Speaker 2: teams and so you got to figure out how we're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna get it done.
Speaker 1: What do you remember the most about Game six and
Speaker 1: Game seven in Toronto.
Speaker 2: That we won. Yeah, No, I think that's you know,
Speaker 2: I think it's Blake's over here doing stuff.
Speaker 1: Blake's always trying to get in my interviews here. You're
Speaker 1: always trying to get in my head.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I remember. I just know as
Speaker 2: a teammate, but we remember this guy grew up into
Speaker 2: a real man. It's freaking nasty on the mau let's go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're a real dog. The leader of the
Speaker 1: dogs just and doctornated you last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the facial hair is a little thicker too.
Speaker 1: He's a legit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that means a lot coming from Blake, you know,
Speaker 2: such a such a uh a wise old veteran. You know,
Speaker 2: look at him, so wise experienced, right, yeah, so experienced. No,
Speaker 2: it's it's great, it's uh yeah, you know, I just
Speaker 2: remember winning those games. I think that was the most
Speaker 2: important thing to me, is just kind of getting the
Speaker 2: job done. And you know, one of the craziest world
Speaker 2: series maybe ever. So that was super cool. And you know,
Speaker 2: I think the pick for Miggy's one thing that stands
Speaker 2: out to me. I think, you know, the end of
Speaker 2: game six with the you know, ball wedge in the wall,
Speaker 2: just some crazy stuff that happened, super super fun. I
Speaker 2: don't think I think I remember stuff that happened outside
Speaker 2: of myself more than I remember anything else, just because
Speaker 2: I just thought it was so cool, just as a
Speaker 2: fan of the game. So it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Did you ever go back to watch any of those games?
Speaker 2: Not really, other than just like normal film stuff. I
Speaker 2: never watched like the actual like like broadcast. Maybe in
Speaker 2: a couple of years I'll do that, but you know,
Speaker 2: I never watched the actual broadcast of any of it.
Speaker 2: Just just kind of clips here and there.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for the time. I know
Speaker 1: you're going to be in high demand in Canada.
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe so, maybe so, maybe you have to hide
Speaker 2: in my hotel room.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for the time, congratulations and keep it going.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, thank you, thank you.
