WEBVTT - Teoscar Hernández (7-10-26) 

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

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>We're here with the man that won the Home Run

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Derby back in twenty twenty four. That's the one and

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>only tai Oscar Hernandez. By the way, as long as

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Tioscar Hernandez has been here, home Run Derby, All Star

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and two championships. So Tayo, thanks a lot for the time.

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Always great to be with you.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, thank you for having me. It's always great

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 2>to hear those achievement signs my time here. Yeah, the Dodgers.

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so none of your teammates are participating in the

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Home Run Derby, but your coach is throwing to Bryce

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Harper Dino Ebel. Why is he so good at helping

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>guys win the home run Derby?

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean it feels like he went with me in

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. Last year he went with Shwarver. Yeah, for

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the Tidebreaker, I think in the All Star Game. So

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>it seems like every time he throws UH, that player

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>is winning the derby. So it's not a not about

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>by Harper picking of Dino to throw Uh in the derby.

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully Dina can win it. Even though Harper have

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>to win it.

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>So since you know how to do it, you want it.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>What is the key to winning the home run derby?

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I just you know, just turn to be simple. Uh,

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>it's not not that hard to hit the ball out

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 2>of the out of the party, especially if you have power,

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>just knowing yourself, you don't have some swinging hard controlling

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>the moment. It's gonna be a key and not over swinging.

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So if they do that, they're gonna win.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>How tiring does it get? How much does it take

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>out of you? Uh?

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>For me, it was, you know, not bad. I'm used

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>to swim a lot in practice in the cage. Like

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>today I'm most sweating because like the swinging my routine.

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>But it gets to you the next day, your body

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>feels really tired. Resort as far as that, you've never

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>thought it was going to be sore because of that.

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>But if you'll prepare, if you're ready, especially now that

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>most of the players participated before so they know what

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>they have to do, they make some adjustment there that.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it should be better for the players not

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>to feel like really sore or tired at the end.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Now that he's not hanging around, I think he wanted

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>to hear you say something good about him. You are

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Andy pot has his campaign manager, and this smile from

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>ta Oscar Hernandez helped the fans get po has to

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>be a starter out there. How excited are you for Andy?

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean really happy. He's been putting a lot of

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>hard work the past three years. Last year it was

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 2>a little disappointing because I think everybody feel like he

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 2>has the chance over the serve to be in the

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>All Star Game. Last year he wasn't selected, But I

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>think that make him putting more work. So he have

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the season that he's having now, and you know he

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>deserves to be there. He's a star, He's a superstar.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>He helps this team win a championship last year. So

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>happy for him, for his wife so they can get

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the chance to celebrate all those things that he has

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>done on the baseball field. So thank you for everyone

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>that votes for him and make him no start.

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, he is the campaign manager for Andy pater

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>has thanks a lot for the time tale. I know

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to the All Star Game. You got

<v Speaker 1>a rare All Star Game off, so do you want

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to spend those three days together?
