00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talker.

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: We're live at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers come from

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: behind and the eight thing again to beat the Diamondbacks

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: and sweep the opening series three to two. And our

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: guy Freddie Freeman, it was only a matter of time

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: until he got his first hit of the year tonight.

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: Three hits and your first RBI. What's it like to

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: be part of this lineup, Freddy? Like you said, everybody

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: could hit third.

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's special. It's kind of a matter of when

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen throughout the course of the nights. We

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: would like to score more than three runs, but three

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: was all we needed tonight. But we've got a special lineup,

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: talented guys, and you know it's going to be a

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: part of it.

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: As a left headed hitter in this lineup, knowing the

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks don't have a lefty reliever, does that play into

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: any part of the game plan late.

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: In the game, I'd be more of a doc question.

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: I just I just go in the lineup and hit.

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: You know, I don't matter who's out there. Obviously the

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: left HANDERM sorry, I'm gonna hit fit this year. That's

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: what Doc and I talked about, and uh, that's kind

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: of how he went into it. But I kind of

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: just set up nicely. It doesn't matter right or left.

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch of guys that can hit both

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: sides the arms, and we're ready for anything that comes

28
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: into the game.

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: The guy hitting in front of you, Will Smith, he

30
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: doesn't say much, but man, he comes up clutch.

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to after this game. He's got a

32
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: few interviews you're gonna have to do. But you know,

33
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: he's we call him the quiet Assassin. He just does

34
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: his work. He works hard, and the game honors you.

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: And we've got a lot of guys in here when

36
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: they work hard in the game always seems to honor him.

00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: start to our season.

40
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: All right, Freddy, I'll leave you with this. I'm your counter.

41
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: You tied Alex Rodriguez for thirty third all time on

42
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball doubles list. You're just one away

43
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: from tying Chipper Jones.

44
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Okay, let's try and do that on Monday.

45
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,760
