Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nothing like some Tracy Chapman in the Dodger Clubhouse before
Game two of this three game series. And we're joined
right now by Max Munsey, who saved the day in
a lot of ways in the ninth inning with his defense. Max,
thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
For the time. Yeah, good, good to see you again.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
How much do you know about Tracy Chapman, Moncie.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I know it's a good song. I don't even know
any more than that.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
No, that's all you need to know before we talk
about the ninth inning last night. What's it like for
you and just the guys that we're.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Here in twenty to come back again.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
And this place is always gonna be special, you know,
for me, it's multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's home.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You know, I grew up coming, not to necessarily to
this stadium, but to the old stadium for you know,
twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Grew up coming to that stadium, and so this place
will always be special for that reason.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
And then too, getting that World Series, the circumstances around
that World Series, you know, being stuck with everybody in
the hotel for forty straight days.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You know, I just this this.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Place will always be special for those reasons, and you know,
it's really cool to come back here for you know,
the the group of guys that we're here.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And it's also always.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Fun to come back here with Freddy because we get
to you know, we to throw a couple of jabs
at Freddy, you know, hay Rim when you guys were
up three to one and the end of the losing.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You know, it's just fun to do that. So this
this place will always have a special place.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's funny you brought up Freddie yesterday. Blake Trenton pulled
up the video of the pitch he served up to
Freddy that he thought was a home run in Game seven,
and Mookie robbed him.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, that was a good but it was we were
all fired up at that point, and you know that
was that was Freddie was on fire that season in
that playoffs especially, he was doing some damage to us,
and so you know, for that ball to not find
a way over the fence, that was a pretty big
moment for us.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Max Monthsey is our guest. All right, let's go back
to last night the ninth inning. You made two amazing plays.
The first one you were able to get your old
buddy Seeger at second base. I know you've put in
a lot of work, but for you to stick with
the process and be the hero with your glove, I'm
sure that meant a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, it was. It was a big night for us.
It was a good one.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
You know, Yama was unbelievable and it's it's one of
those things where with Yama this year, the way he's
been pitching, we feel like anytime he's on the mound,
we're just in total control out there. And that's kind
of how last night fell. I know it was a
one to nothing game, but it just felt like we
were in complete control of that game. And that's just
the kind of confidence that he's pitching with on the mound,
and that also instills into all of us on defense.
(02:22):
And you know, bullpen came in, did their job, and
you know, for me to to to close it out
that way, that was that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Was you know, big moment for me.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And like I said, I haven't put in a lot
of work, and you know, I've been feeling great over there.
I know I've had a couple of mistakes, but those
were on the you know, the throwing front, which is
usually not the issue for me.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
But that's just that's just the way baseball goes sometimes.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Hey, Max, the difference last night was that you and
your infieldmates played through whatever the umpire was gonna call.
What did you see on that ground ball? And reacting
to that ground ball from Josh Young that turned into
end the game.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well, you play until the empire tells you otherwise, especially
on defense. And know with that play down the line,
he's right there in my ear, and so I fielded
the ball, and I I was pretty positive it was
a foul ball. And you know, I wasn't entirely ready
to make that play, but I didn't hear him say anything.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He's right there in my ear, and so I turned and.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Fired at the second and you know, I was able
to get the guy in time, and you know then
he wasn't running down the line, so that worked out
for us. But yeah, it's just one of those things
where we have to play until until the umpire tells
you otherwise. And uh, yeah, that was definitely a very strange,
very strange ball. I was positive as foul. But you
go back and look at the replay and I think
he I think he got the call right.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I guess that it's time for me to go because
Austin Barnes is over here, right the hero of the
twenty twenty World Series. I think he still has the
baseball in his back pocket right now.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He might, Yeah, I think he's.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I think he switched it out here. I think he
gave back a fake one and he kept the real one.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know that, That's what I would do at least. Hey,
that's Riverside Street smarts right there.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, you gotta do what you gotta do, you know,
and uh and that in that case, that would definitely
be something that I would do.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You know, that's a special ball. You got hold on
that one. I love it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Great play, Grete ninth Inning, Max, and obviously everybody in
this room believes in you and keep going.
