WEBVTT - Dodgers P Justin Wrobleski on FT 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:05.120 And it is Justin Robleski up the Dodgers. He is 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:08.280 a World Series champions joining us right now. Hey, Justin, 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:10.160 great to have you on. Thank you so much for 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.560 joining us. How are you today, and how is your 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:14.160 off season heading into camp here? 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:15.840 Yeah? 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:17.640 I'm good, I'm good. I'm glad to be on here 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.240 with you guys. Off season has been great. It's starting 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.040 to ramp up, so short, short off season, but that's 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:25.560 kind of how you want it, right, So it's been 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:26.200 it's been good. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.440 How do you handle that the short offseason? Was there 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.640 anything done differently for you to make sure that you 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.360 felt okay heading into camp here? And it seems like 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.440 one of the themes for the Dodgers in general will 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.120 be let's be careful with everyone. It's a marathon, and 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.600 that plan worked for them in twenty twenty five. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:49.880 Right, Yeah, I think, you know, answering your first question, 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.280 I think I had I had some good experience with 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.920 it last year. I know, you know, I wasn't on 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.360 the postseason rosters and everything last year, but I was still, 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.640 you know, let's stay camp, staying ready for the season, 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.559 So I kind of had a little bit of taste 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.040 of how to do that and how to kind of 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:07.680 work through a little bit shorter of a time to 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.600 get ready, especially with us going to Japan last year, 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.200 So this year is a little longer than that, a 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.400 little more time than that. So I think kind of 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.000 figuring that out last year helped and then just kind 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.120 of more of the same this year. 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.080 Does it help or hurt you? Justin that you're there early? 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.440 You kind of mentioned it that you had to be 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.319 there early last year for the Japan series. But with 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.160 the WBC, you're there early. I'm guessing you're camp. Did 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:31.920 you guys report yet? 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:32.240 I don't know. 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.440 Have you guys reported report tomorrow? 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.360 Is tomorrow is the official physicals and all that fun stuff. 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.360 So but a lot of guys are already out here. 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:41.360 That's what I thought. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.560 So does that help you or hurt you? Because it 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.680 does condense the offseason, but it also makes you throw more, 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.240 and for someone like you, it also in spring training 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:51.720 because some of your guys aren't going to be there. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.400 The Dodgers we know, don't push everybody. Gives you a 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.920 chance to maybe get a few more innings and show 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.440 them more of how valuable you can be. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.960 Yeah, it's it's definitely. I mean, I think, you know, 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.520 to each guy it's different. I I personally am not 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.280 a guy that takes a ton of time off. Just 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.959 I've I've tried it really one offseason in my professional career, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.600 and I didn't really like the way I felt coming 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.000 out of it. So for it, for me, it's like, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.520 you know, this year, for example, I took probably a 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.280 week and a half off and then I was done again. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.280 So I don't love to take a ton of time off. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.160 I feel like I lose feel, I feel like I 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.600 stiffen up a little bit. And I think if you 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:30.960 look at a lot of guys in the past that 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.520 have played the game for a long time, a lot 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:33.799 of them don't take a ton of time off. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.320 So I felt like that was the best thing for me. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.920 And yeah, like you said, I think there's a lot 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.240 of opportunity even though we're filled up. I think for 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.280 a guy like me that they can kind of provide, 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.600 you know, wear multiple different hats with this team. I 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.880 think I hope to uh to continue to prove that 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.400 I can do that, and whether it's in a starting capacity, 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.960 whether it's in a long man capacity, whether it's in leverage, 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.640 you know, low leverage whatever, I think is proving that 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.840 versatility is helpful for a team like this, And I 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.919 think also a lot of it with how we run 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.760 things speaks to the amount of talent that we have 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.160 in our organization, how good they are developing guys, because 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.560 you know, you look around and pretty much everybody you 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.239 see is really really good, And a lot of guys 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.840 you know in our locker room and even in Triple A, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.880 would would be getting chances with other teams. So it's 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.679 it's a great, great organization to be a part of, obviously, 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.760 and I think you know it pushes each and every 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:28.600 one of us to be better. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.240 When I spent most of my career in the minor leagues, 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.679 people would always say I'd rather be in the big 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.240 leagues than in Triple A with a World Series team. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.320 We get to ask you this, you unfortunately had to 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.480 spend time in Triple A. You just mentioned it, how 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.480 good the team is, how you know everything. Would you 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.120 rather be on the Dodgers and know there's a chance 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.080 you're going to Triple A like you had last year, 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:59.640 but the World Series or Justin Robleski third day, third starter, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.720 a rotation for any of the other teams that doesn't 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.880 quite have the best chance. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.680 Yeah, I think it's it's a funny question. I've definitely 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.120 been I've definitely thought about it before. I've been asked before. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.000 And you know, I think you love to pitch in 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.960 the big leagues. I think pitching the big leagues is 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.080 ultimately the you know, everyone's goal and what you want 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.400 to do. And obviously you get paid a little better too, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.640 so that's not bad. But you know, I think being 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.080 with this team, I think, you know, we're gonna look 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.400 back ten fifteen years from now and be like, man, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.240 that was that was a special, special thing. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:36.720 To be a part of. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.680 And not everybody gets the chance to to pitch in 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.159 postseason games and be a part of these you know, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.440 postseason runs. And you know, I've been a part of 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.200 two teams that have one World Series now, so it's 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.200 it's hard to say. I definitely wouldn't trade the rings 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.240 for the world. You know, I love to win. I 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.360 love to you know, get that feeling and and kind 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.719 of pitching games that matter. And it's also tough because 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.159 at the same end, like, yeah, I'd love to you know, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.240 be starting games and kind of get the chance to 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.800 do that, and but I think, you know, I love 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.400 to win, So I think. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.279 Wherever I go, I want to win. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.760 And I know that's not always the case a lot 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.479 of places, but just wherever I'm gonna get opportunity, whether 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.120 it's here, whether it's somewhere else, whether it's anywhere, I think, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.000 you know, you want to win, and I think it's 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.880 hard to. It's hard to, you know, trade stuff that's 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.680 that you can't really put a price on. So I 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.840 think final answer, I think I'd rather be with with 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.880 this team than than any other team, just because it's 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.880 it's a really really special thing to be a part of. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:38.880 Justin, don't lie. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.200 Someday you'll be a part of Team Poland I'll be 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.719 the manager and that'll be like twenty thirty in the WBC. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.600 So that will take over. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.720 All of this rest of this World Series crap you're 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:49.919 talking about exactly. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.440 That'll be That'll be Yeah, that'll be number one for sure. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.560 Scott and Eric say, the WBC means more than the 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.599 World Series, but we don't have time to get into that. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.160 We'll just let you what does let you enjoy your 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:01.880 two rings. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.680 Okay, but I do want to go back the World Series. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.080 I do want to go back to the World Series 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.839 because you had you had two two really important things 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.200 that you did in this World Series. One, you pitch 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.000 in the eighteen inning game and you pitch in like 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.240 the sixth, sixth, and seventh inning, and then it went 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.000 eleven innings and you had nothing to do. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.200 So I want to know what you were doing. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.440 And then two, we used to have Andre Semenez on 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.520 here all the time. Why did you throw at him? 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:26.320 And why did you start a. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.800 Fight with him? Because he's like the nicest guy in the. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:34.279 Whole world, all right, So question number one, question number one. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.560 During that game, it was kind of like it was 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.560 pretty funny because like after you come out of the game, honestly, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.120 for me, it's like you like during the game, you're fine, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.560 like cause that's kind of your realm, Like you're kind 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.520 of in control of what's going on. You're in control 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.240 of your you know, prep and getting ready and all 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.680 this and that, and you know, and then you go 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.159 on the game and you're still in control their because 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.240 like that's what you do, that's your domain, you know. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:57.680 I think for me, I like to think of it 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.720 as like you know, I am there to perform, I'm 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.640 there to pitch my best, I'm there to you know, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.320 do all that, and so just kind of you're in 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.679 that mindset, that mode that you get into when you play, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.840 and then when you come out, it's like, you know, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.560 there's a lot more nerves there when you come out 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.560 than when you're in the game. So I was just 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.120 kind of hanging with the boys, really the crew that 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.480 was there that that wasn't on the roster, and we 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.080 just had a great group and just kind of hanging 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.120 out watching the game, you know, doing anything we could 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.320 to try and get some runs, you know, outfit changes, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.040 shoe changes, all this and that, and it finally ended 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:30.520 up working. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.960 We would have won the game probably about three or 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:33.400 four times. 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.400 If the marine layer wasn't so heavy that night, Like 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.840 I think Tayo had a ball that was scorched. It's 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.160 a home run most days. Freddie even had one earlier 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.400 in the game. They probably would have been a home 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.920 run most days. But it was real heavy and kind 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.440 of cold that night, so like not cold, but like 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.280 la chili whatever, so the ball wasn't flying as much. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.200 And yeah, but it was. It was a really crazy experience. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.040 And then what obviously Will ended up doing, and that 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.560 game was crazy and just kind of watched it all 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:57.880 in full. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:02.280 Was wild. That's my answer Number one. Number two. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.920 Obviously, once you get to someone of two strikes, that 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.760 is the best time to throw at them. No, but 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.560 like I'm not trying to I'm not trying to throw 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.680 at anybody. My second back to back of my career, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.600 you know, obviously came up as a starter. I'm sure 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.360 that had something to do with it. I'm sure you 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.360 know World Series Juice had something to do with it. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:26.640 And yeah, unfortunately, just had three go. My miss is 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.760 up an armside and usually people get out of the way, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.200 and he tried and he didn't, and it hit him 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.280 and I wasn't trying to hit him, but you know, 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.959 he was upset, and obviously it's a heat of the 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.960 moment thing, like you're both out there competing, and he 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.640 said something to me, so I said something back, and yeah, 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.440 it's just it's just the game we love, right, Like, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.199 it's just you know, you're out there compete at the 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.600 highest level and the biggest moments and sometimes, you know, 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.000 I'm sure I'm sure he'd probably say something similar. You 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.960 just kind of blackout and stuff happens, and that's the game, 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.960 and that's why we love it. But yeah, obviously there's 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.200 no intent there. And it's kind of crazy that it 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.520 all happened on that stage because I think that's the 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.360 first time the benches have ever cleared with me on 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.679 the mound or anything like that has ever happened. But 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.280 that's just kind of who I am when I'm out there. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.040 I think I have to be a more of like 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.719 a I don't know, it's hard to explain, but some 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.280 guys have to be real calm. I'm kind of the 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.480 opposite of that, and that's just something you learn as 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:19.840 you play. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.880 You did say that was your first back to back, correct. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.520 Second I had one against Cincinnati, I believe, But I 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.679 think the second back, the second part of that back 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.000 to back was like a third or something. 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.720 Okay, so take us to the end of game seven, 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:39.520 when Yamamoto came out and was like, Robleski, here's a 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.400 back to back. I'll take care of this. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.240 It was the coolest shit I've ever seen. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.120 I'm excuse my language, but it was the coolest thing 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.000 I've ever seen. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.840 I remember because that game. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.600 Honest obviously, I was a little more like you know, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:54.640 if game whatever. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.440 Game three, the one that went really long. Like I 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:56.880 was nervous. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.920 When I came out of the game Game seven, it 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.319 was like, oh my gosh, Like I still knew, like 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:03.720 I still had a good feeling. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.320 We were gonna win the game. 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.760 But you know, like the way that game happened was 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.560 just you know, I get chills just talking about it. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.319 Like so many cool things happened. 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.480 And you know, I'm in the I'm in the weight room, 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.559 and in Toronto, the weight rooms kind of right next 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.679 to the dugout right there and the new renovations or whatever, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.800 and so I'm in like I was pacing in the 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.720 in the weight room and I see like the lights 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.400 turn off, and I look up and I was like, 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.800 is that Yama like running in it? And it's sure 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.080 as sure as I was, And you know, he came 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.600 in and just just crazy man. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.280 Just he's a dog. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:41.120 He's you know, worth way more than what he's paid, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.200 even if he's being paid all these millions of dollars. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.640 You know, he's he's a he's a dog. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.280 He's uh, he's not like the traditional like what you 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:55.120 think of as like an ace type picture, like he's 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.160 not he's just he's just a special, special talent man, 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.800 his ability to manipulate the and his ability to you know, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.280 make pitches when it matters, And you know, I think 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.240 that was just a testament to kind of who he 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.040 is as a person and who he is as a player. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.439 He's he's the man. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.680 And I was really really super honestly, not only like 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.440 was it the coolest thing I've ever seen? I was 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.840 just super happy for him because you know, he deserves 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.560 you know, every moment like that, because he's just He's 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.480 just the man, and it's been fun to see him 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:24.600 work the past couple of years. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.640 You had a Hall of Famer in your bullpen in 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.120 the World Series. Did you ever look over at Kershaw 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.840 and go like, how is this for this guy? Like, 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.040 I get it. I've been starting in Triple A. This 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.360 guy's been starting in the show for decades, Like how 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.280 is he in the bullpen? And did you guys have 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.080 to kind of like, hey, relax, Clayton, Like this is 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:46.880 a long game. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.520 Yeah, It's It's funny because you know, she In was 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.920 the same way. You know, she like being the bullpen. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.400 I remember the first couple of games when he was 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.040 down there. It was just like for a lot of 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.280 those guys that they've been starting forever, it's like a 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.040 little bit of like they don't know what to do 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.240 with themselves, because when you're starting, you have such a 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.839 like regiment and like I'm doing this and I'm doing this, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.280 and I'm doing this and I'm doing this, and then 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.560 the game started and then you're just pitching. But in 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.679 the pen, it's just like a big like there's just 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.960 a lot more anxiety, a lot more you know, and 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.040 if you haven't experienced it or learned how to like 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.000 work through it or use it to your advantage, it's tough. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.959 And I think, you know. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.120 Curseh, even this being his last year, it was just like, 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.320 you know, he was still trying to learn from the 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.960 guys that were down there on how to do it, 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.840 and you know, even asking younger guys like you know, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.480 Jack and I and whatever. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:36.680 Like. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.080 That's one thing I noticed about Cursh is like he 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.160 was always willing to learn. And that's kind of again 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.440 another thing that makes him great is I think he 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.800 was always willing to change things and do things to 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.640 make himself better, no matter you know who it was from. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.920 And that was something I thought was really cool about him, 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.480 is he was just asking around everybody like what do 0:12:58.520 --> 0:12:58.920 you guys do? 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.920 What do you guys do? Just kind of figuring it out. 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.640 And obviously he did a good job, and you know, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.280 came in and got that huge out and the long 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.880 game and then it was about to come in there 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.400 in that game seven. So but yeah, it's it's funny. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.440 It's a tough transition to make. I think it's easier 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.920 for some guys than others for whatever reason. And but yeah, 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.040 it's it's a crazy, crazy thing. And it was really 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.160 crazy to kind of, yeah, look over there and sit 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.839 in the bullpen with Kersh at the end of his career, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.560 and it's just like, what is going on? Like because 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.400 you know, you talked to me ten years ago and say, hey, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.000 you're gonna be in a World Series and you'll be 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.400 sitting in the bullpen with Kursh and even just being 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.240 a part of you know, i'd say, one of the 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.160 best baseball teams of all time in these past two 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.240 years and it's it's pretty crazy. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.400 Justin, did anybody on your team, and I know he's 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.160 Clayton Kershaw ever say cursed you keep your shirt on, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.719 buddy for for for. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:53.360 The rest of us. 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.480 Dads like me, like right, Like I would never just 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.200 be like I'm gonna walk around constantly with my shirt 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.360 off at my age, I'm much older than Cursh's. But 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.560 did nobody ever say like, hey, Curse, maybe today just 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:06.360 keep your shirt on. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.120 I mean, he can, you can kind of do what 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.959 you want, you know what I mean. The guy's got 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.240 a lot of hardware. He's done a lot in this game, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.960 and he's showing it off. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.760 Man. I mean, whatever whatever it is, it works, It 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.040 worked for a. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.920 Long time, so you know what I mean, Maybe he's 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.280 just setting an example saying like this is what greatness 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.320 looks like, you know what I mean. 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.640 But no, it's it's uh, you know, Cursh was big. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.200 Curseh was big on you know, shirtless Sundays and all 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.600 that fun stuff. And so he's a he's a great 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.400 guy to have in the clubhouse, great guy to be around. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.119 Just just super super down to earth, super humble and 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.120 and just just a great, great teammate and and guy 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.600 that you know, I was so blessed and lucky to 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.920 play with and learn from obviously over these past two 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.880 years because and being someone that I looked up to 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.560 growing up was was huge. So but yeah, he's the man. No, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.320 no one ever told him to keep his shirt on. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:03.960 I don't think. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.640 I don't think anyone in that clubhouse has the right 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.760 to tell him what to do at a baseball field. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.000 That's fair, that's fair, But shirtless Sundays. I don't even 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.160 want to know what that meant. So we're just gonna skip. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.200 Over that real quick. But here's what about him. 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.600 I'm not That's why I skipped it. But here's the thing. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.360 Do you think that when in twenty twenty nine or 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.360 twenty thirty, when you're on Team Poland, that Clayton Kershaw 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.760 will still be pitching for Team USA because he retired. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:34.479 But here he is pitching in the WBC for Team USA. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.320 So here's the thing. His he just had another new baby, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.160 so at that time. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.880 He might have like gotten out of baseball for a 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.160 little bit, and then he'll be back ramping up at 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.320 that time, if I had to guess so. But no, 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.240 he's got a lot of kids to work to worry 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.120 about now, so hopefully hopefully that'll keep him out of 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.920 our way, you know what I mean, And hopefully we 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.440 want to see him perfect good. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.160 That's smart, justin two questions. It's about jewelry. Have you 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.920 worn last year's ring and have you seen what the 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.720 new ring for this year is going to look like? 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.600 Of course I've worn last year's ring, but not in public, 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.280 just like you know, around the house sometimes just just. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.080 One shirtless Sunday, shirtless Sunday, just the ring. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:26.040 No, see, you're you're misunderstanding in the way shirtless Sunday works. 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.440 That's the problem. So but no, it's it's uh. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.360 Sometimes wear it around the house sometimes just look at it, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.680 all that fun stuff, but it's just kind of hard 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.440 because those rings are so big. It's like, I don't 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.160 want to wear that in public. And you know what 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.680 I mean, Like I like what the Thunder did with 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.600 their ring where there's that little ring inside of it. 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.440 You can kind of wear around that thing. It's kind 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.560 of a good touch. I haven't seen what ours look 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.920 like this year, but I'm sure if there anything like 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.480 last year, they're going to be incredible. And yeah, it's 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.480 crazy that I get to talk about, Yeah, last year's 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.960 was good, maybe this years will be better kind of thing, 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.160 which is pretty funny to think about. But yeah, it's 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.320 it's super cool. I'm I'm excited to see it I'm 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.439 sure they're gonna do a great job with. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:17.240 It, right. No, No, I didn't have any more questions. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.680 Okay, justin by the way, I just want everyone out 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.760 there in the Twitter world and in the in the 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.320 chat that I am not disrespecting Clayton Kershaw. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.000 He's one of my favorite people I've ever talked to. 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.000 So by saying to keep his shirt on, it was 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.840 more of just like he's you know, he's got the 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.280 dad bought and most people expect professional athletes when they 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.399
