Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
An exclusive interview with David Bassey or Dodger Talker. He Gate,
It's felt like in the last two games you kind
of set the tone to not concede any of these games.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, I think this is a really important series. Regardless
of whether we won the division or not. It's very
important for us to go into the postseason playing good
baseball and then you know, whoever won this series, if
we meet in the during the World Series, you know
secured home field advantage for that series. So winning this
series is huge, and you know, if we face them

(00:33):
in the World Series, we get there, they get there.
We started the game of do we started a series
of Dodger Stadium. That's huge for us.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Munios is one of the best closers in baseball. He
throws hard. Were you expecting to see a first pitch slider?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Uh? No, Man, you gotta respect the fastball. You cannot
sit off against that guy. You know who. He's got
one hundred and two of them, and he's got one
hundred and two in his back. So you need to
be ready for the fastball, worry for a mistake. And
the slider kind of popped it. He hung it, and
I hit it and I had no clue where the
ball went. I kind of reacted with the crowd, and
when I looked over, Randy was running, So I had

(01:05):
to really run hard a second base to go to
a goot that double.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Even as good as you are, it's hard in Major
League Baseball to play once a week. Have these last
three games kind of given you some momentum going into
the postseason?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Obviously I missed a lot of time, and then coming
back from the I l my rehab as Simon. You know,
it wasn't wasn't ideal in terms of, uh the pictures
I face and you know, getting back into the rhythm
of things. Uh, it was tough. It felt like I
was kind of playing catch up. And then obviously the
sporadic playing time is a is another thing to deal with.
But you know, I've done it for a while, so
I kind of used to I'm kind of used to it,

(01:41):
and but uh, you know, when whenever you get a
few starts in a row, it's it totally makes it
a little slightly easier. Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Thanks a lot for stopping key kanging.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
