  Speaker 1: that I've had. But it's like I still want to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: keep going. We still have more championships to win. I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: still have more to do in the postseason, in the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: regular season.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Hi, Hello, welcome back to Dodgers territory. Katie Wu Clipasiasatchi,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Alana Rizzo on assignment. We're going to skip all the intros,
• 0:32

• 0:35
  Speaker 2: joining us today. He doesn't need an introduction. Gonna give
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: him one anyway, very dramatic third basement for the Los
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers twenty twenty six All Star, the record holder

• 0:49
  Speaker 2: joining us, of course.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. Guys, do it MUDs get
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a starter.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Woo.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: All right, let's just go right into it. The Colorado
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: series came at a great time. I was not there,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: but you guys looked much better on TV. What was
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: kind of the overall mindset coming in on Monday quick
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: three game series? Was it just hey, frush Slate, let's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: take care of business here.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's the same mindset that we have
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: every single time when we show up to the park.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you have a game in front of you,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you try to take care of business. You do whatever
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you have to to win that game, and then you
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: move on to the next to you. You know, you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: kind of don't let anything else enter into the conversation.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And you know, that's that's a formula that's been warning
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for us for a lot of years, and we always
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: continue to preach that. And sometimes when you go through
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: rough stretches, it gets a little bit harder to just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: focus on the day and not think about what's been happening,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the previous several games. But you know, for us,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it was kind of just to get back to basics
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, just trying to focus on the day
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that we had ahead of us. And you know, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: thought we did a really good job of that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm generally somebody that that hates coors Field.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: A beautiful ballpark and all that, but I hate when
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: when you guys go to coors Field, does this feels
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: like something bad is gonna happen? But would you say
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: that series like just so to wake the boys up,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: came at the right time.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean sure, you know, it's always a great
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: place to go to go in and hit. The opposite
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of that, though, is sometimes it's not a great place
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to go in in pitch. Uh. So I for me,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I was very impressed with how all of our pitchers
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: handled the environment, you know, starting with snow game one,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and then Lower did a great job Game two, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Rokie looked great yesterday. Uh. You know, just the pitching
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: staff I thought did a really great job of not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: letting the environment affect them. And for us offensively, I thought,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously the results were great, but just the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: advass we were having in certain situations looked a lot better.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know that's something that we needed to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be focusing on. And you know, like like you said,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Colorado is uh, it's just one of those places you're
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: playing on the moon. Anything happened, uh and you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: no lead is ever safe there, and uh, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so for us having that mindset of just we need
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to keep adding on, keep adding on, I think that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was great for us.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: We heard from you Sunday after the Brewer series. We
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: heard from Dave Roberts throughout the week. There just needed
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to be a recommitment, I think to play in the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: little things. The Dodger way of baseball. It looked a
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: lot better again over the Rockies. But one thing that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we hear about the Dodger certainly I did from afar
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and now I'm seeing it firsthand, is you guys are
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so experienced and this is a core that that doesn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: really need any kind of extra motivation. You know how
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to go out there and do your jobs every day.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So how do you keep that mindset so consistent where
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that's just the expected culture in the clubhouse.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's just something that's been created over many,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: many years, and you know, honestly it started before I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: even got here. But you just you focus on the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: things that you're supposed to do right. And you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: one of the things for me that I thought was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: back to how we play baseball in Colorado was, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the base running. We were taking the extra bass when needed,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we aren't making outs when we weren't supposed to. We
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: were doing the little things right. And that's something that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we had done so good all year long, and the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks we've been, you know, not as good.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We've been forced you know, making force outs on the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: basis just stuff that we shouldn't be doing. And we
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: kind of got back to to playing the game how
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we how we played it, you know, last couple of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: last couple of days, and so, you know, going back
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to your question, I think it's just we've just created
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this culture where that's that's the focus. You know, we
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we preach it every single day, starting back in spring training,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and uh, we don't let it ever get away from that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And when it starts getting away from that, we we
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: always rein it back in and we we continue to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: preach you know, years, taking it one day at a time.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You're focused on this, don't let the things ball go
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: out there to your U team, make sure what you're
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: working on, and you know it's it's worked out really
• 4:50

  Speaker 3: You guys got Kyle Tucker in that clubhouse. Hasn't been
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the greatest of years for him. Everybody has down years. Obviously,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: he's he's battling, he's trying to figure some things out.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Figure out ways to contribute to this team and we've
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: seen it. How how does the team, uh, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: this group that has been together for so long, how
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: do you kind of, you know, help keep him not motivated?
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: But just like like, don't worry about it. Everything's gonna
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: be fine. The season doesn't mean one sixty two doesn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: mean anything to the Dodgers anyways. Is about the postseason?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: We know we're gonna get there. Like, how do you
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: kind of you know, put your arm around him and
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: tell them a famous Alana line here, it's going to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: be great. What's the motive? Like motivation and help for Tuck?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just just let him know that you're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: there for him. You know. It's it's it's this first
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: year in La. You know, he's he's a cross country
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: from his home. Uh's first year with a new baby
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for him. Uh, you know, obviously the big condition there's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of things you know, going on right now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and he has to find a way to battle through
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: all that. And so the biggest thing that we can
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: do is just let him know that we're there for him,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and you know, we have his back my matter what.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And he's part of this team. He's part of this clubhouse,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and nothing's ever going to change that. No matter how
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: good or bad someone plays, You're you're part of this team,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and you you're you're part of the family. And so
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for us, that's always the biggest thing is just let
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: him know that we're there. Max.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: We're going to change it to a topic that I'm
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: sure you're gonna love talking about. We're going to talk
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: about yourself and your performance this year. I know, I'm sorry,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: but we got we gotta hype you up on the show.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It feels like this season you're you look at the numbers,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: some of your best numbers on both sides of the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: ball in the past few years. The All Star birth
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you get to share that with your family. Recently celebrated
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: ten years of service time, which which is a huge deal.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like this twenty sixth season is kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of your resurgence year. What has it been like to
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: celebrate all of these things.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been you know, it's been a great year,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and honestly, the biggest thing that comes out of it
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is I've been healthy. You know, you look at my
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: last couple of years and the numbers and the pace
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: have been very similar. It's just I haven't been healthy
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and so I haven't been able to you know, put
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: up the numbers throughout it in an entire year. But
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you know, they're very similar to what they have been
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. It's just this year
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I've been healthy and you know, that's been the biggest
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: thing for me. And obviously I've been way better on
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: defense this year too, but that's just you know, the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: culmination of hard work and just the understanding of the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: position and a lot of things coming fruition finally with that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the biggest thing for me is just just
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: being healthy, and that's the biggest thing that I've been
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: proud of this year, is you know, finding a way
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to stay on the field.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The third base thing is something I wanted to
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: talk to you about because people talk about, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Mooki moving to shortstop and the insanity of that, which
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it is, the fact that he is a goal glove
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: shortstop just hasn't won the hard word for it. But
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I like to talk about Max Munsey playing wherever this
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: team needs. Over nine seasons, You've been fantastic at first
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: base in the past, only displaced by a future Hall
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: of Famer and Freddie Freeman, just putting in the work
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: at third base, a position you vocally hated or well,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: let's say maybe it's a strong word. Okay, you agree,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: vocally hated. Now it's a spot where you're pretty flipping
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: good at it. What goes into that work? And I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: think you getting good at third base. And by the way,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: we're just getting going with the Mounsey glaze here. You
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: putting in that work. That is part of the whole
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Max Munsey, as a Los Angeles Dodger, it's always about grinding,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: getting better, and you see it at third base.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, my whole life, defense has always
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: been the thing that's been questioned about me. You know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I was always told that I could hit and I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: was going to do things, but defense was always the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: question about me. And so that's just from an early
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: age I learned how to put in the work defensively.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And you know when I when given enough time, every
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: position I've played, I've been able to get good at.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought I was very good at second base.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: At first base, I was extremely good. I shouldn't want
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I should have won a Gold Globe, but came in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: second one year, and then we bring a guy, like
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you said, a future Hall of Famer crew to kick
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: me off position the next year. You know, it's just
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I understand how to work. And that's not only do
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I understand how to work. I love to work. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's a huge thing when it comes
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to it, is you have to you have to love
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to work at your profession. And you know, that's something
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that I've always really enjoyed. I love going out there
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: putting on the work because it helps you understand it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It helps you understand the game, you know the position,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: how you're playing it, and I feel like it just
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: increases your knowledge of the game in general. And for me,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you know, baseball has always been everything, and so just
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the more knowledge I can have about the game of baseball,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the better I feel about it and the better I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: feel about putting myself out there and put myself in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a good position to help the team win. And you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that's just like I said, it's many years of hard
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: work and understanding, and the biggest jump was just getting
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the knowledge, and a lot of that was talking with
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: with Mookie because when he moved to short stop, he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: had to learn, you know, the knowledge of how to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: play short stuff, not just going out there and putting
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: in the work. You know, that's something that I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of people kind of push to the side, is, Yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you can go out there and take ground balls, you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for seven hours a day, but if you're not getting
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of how you're doing it, you know, what
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: what are you doing with your footwork, what are you
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: doing with your hands? Why should you be doing that?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You know? For me, that was that was one of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the biggest jumps. It was just kind of understanding how
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: my body and how I field ground balls, work work properly.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And one of those things for me was learning how
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to field one handed. You know, my entire life it's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: both hands, you know, gator, whatever you want to call it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: You feel the two hands, you funnel it to the body.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And for me, it was understanding that I was much
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: better one handed and not funneling kind of pushing through
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the ball. And you know, part of the reason why
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I took a couple of years to get better at
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: third base was you have to break a lifetime of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: habits to do that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Max, I'm gonna ask you this question knowing that I
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: think if I asked it to a majority of your teammates,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I think you would be the answer. But one of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the covering the Dodgers every day is that there are
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: no shortage of storylines because seemingly everybody is doing something incredible.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: If you were going to take yourself out of this
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: equation and you're looking at the season so far, which
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: teammate stands out to you in terms of the most
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: impressive season you feel like they're having.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Oh man, it's tough to single guys out with this
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: question because there's so many guys having good years. But
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, off the bat, I think any Piz just
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: jumps out there. You know, the work that he put
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in defensively becoming one of the best center fielders in baseball.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He's throwing, He's one of the best throwers in baseball.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It's a cannon front arm. It's super accurate. You know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: he's he's always hitting the cutoff guy, and that's something
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that you just don't see a lot with young players.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they always want to show off the arm and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: they overthrow the cut off guy. And you know, offensively,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: obviously his numbers are amazing, and just for him, there
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: was a clear emphasis on dialing back swinging out of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the zone. I feel like he's done a really good
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: job of that so far this year, and he's only
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: getting better. He's been taking more walks, and you know
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he's he's only going to continue to get better. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: for me, you know, he kind of jump off the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: page for me this year, just the year that he's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: been having.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Well, go ahead and fallow, all right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: This is another one. And I like to preface this
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: one with I usually ask about one dumb question today.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You're well aware of this by now. This one, I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: feel like is for you specifically. One thing about Maximunsey.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: The lore is the bat drop, and I would like
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to know, because you've hit so many this year, what
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: goes through your mind is when you decide if it's
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a bat drop, a bat toss, a bat chuck.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Is it like an out of body experience. Do you
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: just let the moment take over because you've had some
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: good ones this year?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's usually, you know, it's usually kind of just
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: like an emotional thing when you when you connect on
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the ball and you're able to hit it to you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: like a no doubt shot that you just know mediately
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is gone right off. The bat before even seeing the trajectory. Like,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: it's just a certain kind of feeling and so you know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: depending on the situation of the game, what inning you're in,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it just kind of becomes like an emotional outburst for me.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I think you guys know me. Uh, I'm
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: not super you know, emotional on the field in terms
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of you know, showing things, and so the the the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: bat flip or bad drop has always been my you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: go kind of outburst of emotion and it just kind
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of happens. It's not planned, there's no thought behind it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: It's just whatever comes out comes out. And you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the only thought behind any of that for me is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: always it's it's make sure you're not like throwing it
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: at the picture. You're not disrespecting the picture, even though
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you hit hit a home run off him. It's not
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: about you know him, It's about you and that that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that that for me is always and that's why I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: never get mad if pictures celebrate their strikeouts, it's not
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: about you. It's about them getting out of a situation
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and they're excited about it. And you know that's a
• 14:59

• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Quick quick follow on that. I'm sure you've seen. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: was a Jeffrey Yawn with with the METS. He has
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the jump and the celebration. I think he's doing double
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: barrel like like uh, finger guns there when Like I'm
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: all for letting the kids play and all that. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: think baseball is fun. It's supposed to be entertaining. But
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: when does and we're not saying this, he is what
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: he's doing is too much. But when does it become
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: too much?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: You know, that's a good question, and it's kind of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a tough question. Yeah, I feel like when it's no
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: longer about your performance and it's about you trying to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: put on a show. And I know that's kind of
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a weird statement, but like, uh, you know, if if
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you give it for me, like if you're a pitcher
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and you give up you know, two base hits, a
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: run scores, and then you get that strike out and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: then you're doing the celebration, it's like, well, he didn't
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: really do your job, did you. You just wanted to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: do something to make it a show. Now you strike
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: out the side cartwheel off the mound, I don't care
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you well, like, you know, like it's kind of the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: same thing with you know, when you when you hit
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a home run, if it's a seven to one game
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and you hit a solo home run to make a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: seven to two and then you're you know, backpedaling around
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the bases. It's like, Okay, that's not the time for that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Like to me, it's all about kind of the situation
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of the game and the circumstances leading up to it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And you know, the other thing for me too also
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: is a for for like starting pitchers. I never like
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: when starting pitchers celebrate before they're coming out of the game.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I always feel like, if we're facing a team in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the postseason and I see the guy screaming and fist
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: plumping in the second inning and he still have to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: get through three more innings, I'm like, oh, we got
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: this guy. He's given up way too much emotion and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: energy too early in this game. Like, we we got
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: this guy. So I don't like when starting pitchers do
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the whole emotion in like the first or second inning
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: because you still got a lot of innings you got
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to get through.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, say save it for five, six, seven, then really
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: let out a let out a Yama moto roar. That's
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: what we're here for. Katie said she was gonna make
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you feel a little uncomfortable. I'm gonna make it a
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: little bit more so. She also mentioned ten years in
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the show. Again, congrats for that. That is awesome. Nine
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: seasons of those. Of course, in Dodger Blue, I've been
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: somebody who's been hard on the paint, hard in the
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: paint about talking about Max Munsey Dodgers legend. I know
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you don't want to hear that kind of stuff, but
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: you look up and down franchised numbers and all this.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Of course, we've talked a whole lot this year, second
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: on the all time LA Dodger homer leader board behind
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Eric Carross most homers and postseason franchise history at sixteen,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: most walks in postseason history, sixty five postseason runs, two
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: things that are massively important to win in baseball games
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: walks and run scored forty six runs. There when you
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: hear and you're not done yet, you still got career
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: to go, thankfully, when you hear Dodgers legends, what does
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: that do is give you like the Ougi's is just
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: something like like kursh where you don't even want to
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: think about the numbers until you're done.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it is something that I don't want
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to think about yet. You know, I'm still in the moment,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm still still living the dream and still you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: playing successfully. And I feel like if you sit down
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: and you start reflecting on a lot of that stuff
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and you start thinking about, man, I'm doing this, I'm
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: doing that, I feel like you're you're allowing yourself to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: get a little complacent with it and thinking that you've
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: already accomplished something, and I feel like there's still so
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: much more to accomplish, and uh, you know, and so
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: there will come a day when I can sit down
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and reflect on all this and think about the career
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that I've had. But it's like, you know, I still
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: want to keep going. We still have more championships to win.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I still have more to do in the postseason, in
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the regular season, and you know, nothing for me is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: accomplished yet, and uh, you know, we are getting close
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to that point, but you know, it's there's still a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: lot more to do. And that's kind of how I've
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: always felt about it, is. I don't don't like reflecting
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: on that stuff because then I don't have a path
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: forward because I'm too busy looking in the past. You know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I want to always keep moving forward with my career
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and keep keep accomplishing more and more things, and most
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: important to keep winning. And you know that's always been
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the goal for me.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Music to Dodgers fans ears who I'm sure would have
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: liked to see nobody else in Dodger blue for the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: rest of his career. Max Munsey, thank you so much
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: for joining us here on Dodger's territory. We appreciate it.
