Speaker 2 (00:06):
We are live at Dodger Stadium. After the Dodgers win
their first playoff game ten to five. Blake Snell, with
his first postseason appearance as a Dodger, deals no doubt,
seven innings, ninth strikeouts. How did it feel out there?
And how important was that first st inning for you?
Was it was important?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh? But it was good. I felt good, felt confident
going in, and I was just able to attack. I mean,
it's the most important thing you can do in the
postseason his attack, get ahead and make them swing at
your pitches. It felt like this team was going to
swing at the first pitch early.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Where you're noticing that too, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Mean they're an aggressive team. They have some some passive guys,
but a lot of them are aggressive. So I knew
that was gonna be the case, but I needed to
get strike one.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know you were thinking about your curve ball. How
did it feel tonight?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
A lot better?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I feel like all Austin was good just to check
and Jeff was getting the better results, so I went
with that. And then the fastball little kitch was pretty
good for the most part.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
You wanted to challenge yourself by sunning here to be
on this stage. What did it mean to you to
have the fans cheering you on with two strikes in
the sixth inning and seventh innings tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well it was big and I want I want more
of it. So we gotta we gotta win tomorrow and
keep this going. Hey, you are a big part of
game one. That's always a big one in these short series.
