Clayton Kershaw Dodgers legacy and former teammate A.J. Ellis reminisces on his battery mate · Foul Territory

0:10
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's most interesting man. There are several to
0:13
Speaker 1: choose from, but the man of the hour certainly is
0:16
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, announcing his retirement at the end of the
0:18
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season. He announced it yesterday at Dodger Stadium.
0:22
Speaker 1: Tonight will be Clayton Kershaw's final start at home in
0:26
Speaker 1: the regular season. Hopefully we see some postseason innings from Kersh.
0:30
Speaker 1: Eric and I got to talk about it at length
0:31
Speaker 1: yesterday when we heard the news. But Trevor, I'm interested
0:34
Speaker 1: in your take. I mean, we knew this was coming.
0:36
Speaker 1: You know, he's almost forty years old, eighteen seasons with
0:39
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers, but it's still hard to swallow
0:41
Speaker 1: that Clayton Kershaw is not going to be there next
0:43
Speaker 1: year as a player. What do you think about when
0:46
Speaker 1: you think about Kersh?
0:48
Speaker 2: He is.
0:50
Speaker 3: We throw around like once in a generation style, like
0:54
Speaker 3: type players. I'd say he's one of a time. He's
0:58
Speaker 3: top five all time for me. The things the guy
1:00
Speaker 3: has done in the scope of baseball over one hundred
1:04
Speaker 3: and fifty years is absolutely incredible. Three Cy Young's in
1:08
Speaker 3: four years a career two five era. I was happy
1:12
Speaker 3: if I got a two five in a week like
1:15
Speaker 3: that is that's incredible.
1:18
Speaker 4: People don't when people think.
1:19
Speaker 3: Of Clint Kershaw, they don't necessarily think of like big
1:22
Speaker 3: strikeout pitcher. But in terms of strikeouts for nine, he
1:25
Speaker 3: is above Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Hurt Schilling. Like these guys,
1:30
Speaker 3: these are guys we remember punching everybody out and Clayton
1:33
Speaker 3: Kershaw is better than them. That one interesting thing that
1:36
Speaker 3: I love looking at, especially all time players in general,
1:40
Speaker 3: is all of their kind of scure like splits like
1:43
Speaker 3: home away, you know what, inning was the best one
1:46
Speaker 3: thing that strike strikes me but doesn't surprise me about
1:49
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw, same exact guy, home and away, like that's
1:53
Speaker 3: usually not how it plays out for guy's full career.
1:55
Speaker 3: He's got like a two five three at home and
1:58
Speaker 3: a two five to five on the road for his
1:59
Speaker 3: whole career, which is incredible. And you know what his
2:02
Speaker 3: best inning is, his most dominant inning for his career,
2:05
Speaker 3: the eighth.
2:06
Speaker 4: The eighth inning when he throws.
2:08
Speaker 3: In the eighth, he was unheittable, untouchable, and he did
2:12
Speaker 3: it like, you know, one hundred and sixty times. So
2:16
Speaker 3: just a few of the little nuggets but if you
2:18
Speaker 3: go and you go on his baseball reference page, you
2:20
Speaker 3: go to the splits thing, You'll be there for twenty
2:22
Speaker 3: four You'll be there for an entire day, just digging around.
2:26
Speaker 3: And then you add in the fact consummate professional does
2:28
Speaker 3: it the right way. Baseball is this guy's north star.
2:33
Speaker 3: He shows up the field, the first one there, he's
2:35
Speaker 3: last one to leave, loves being around, everybody, hangs out
2:38
Speaker 3: with the guys, talks ball. It's just when you think
2:42
Speaker 3: of baseball and how it's supposed to be experienced and
2:47
Speaker 3: lived and what bar or holding yourself to high standards
2:52
Speaker 3: looks like it's Clinton Kershaw. So it is sad that
2:56
Speaker 3: we're coming to the end here and all things do.
2:58
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm glad he's stayed with the same
3:01
Speaker 3: team and didn't have to negotiate that with himself because.
3:04
Speaker 4: It sounds like something he wanted for his whole career.
3:07
Speaker 3: And then he gets to go out on his own terms,
3:09
Speaker 3: all things that anybody who retires hopes they get to do.
3:12
Speaker 3: And I'm a static for him and how he's been
3:17
Speaker 3: able to have his career and then also end it.
3:20
Speaker 1: Very few get to go out on top of the
3:22
Speaker 1: way Clayton Kershaw is doing eric. You heard aj Ellis
3:25
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that Kershaw was so grateful and
3:29
Speaker 1: what mattered to him the most was the amount of
3:31
Speaker 1: innings pitch strike going deep into the game, eating up innings.
3:34
Speaker 1: You heard Trevor talk about it. He was the best
3:36
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning. But you look at the accolades.
3:39
Speaker 1: If we can throw up that graphic once again, what
3:41
Speaker 1: impressed you the most over the course of the eighteen
3:44
Speaker 1: year career. Is it the amount of strikeouts over three thousand?
3:48
Speaker 1: Is it the cy Young's Is it the MVP? Is
3:50
Speaker 1: it the era title? What impresses you the most on
3:53
Speaker 1: a list of really unbelievable accomplishments.
3:57
Speaker 5: Besides a person that he is, I mean him and
3:59
Speaker 5: aj shared not just a field, but their faith and
4:03
Speaker 5: the fact that he's raised his family in this game.
4:07
Speaker 5: That's always first and foremost the most impressive thing for me.
4:11
Speaker 5: But if you're gonna pick like one type of like
4:14
Speaker 5: era of Clayton Kershall his entire career, Guy's always doubted
4:19
Speaker 5: him and it's like you're gonna see some regression from him.
4:22
Speaker 5: He's gonna start struggling. He never did that. But the
4:25
Speaker 5: most impressive thing for me when he was hitting free agency.
4:28
Speaker 5: I think it was twenty thirteen to fifteen somewhere. I
4:32
Speaker 5: think he hit it in fourteen was free agency. I
4:35
Speaker 5: saw somebody wrote an article about and obviously this is
4:38
Speaker 5: eleven years ago, about how his first six years in
4:42
Speaker 5: the big leagues were the most dominant first six years
4:48
Speaker 5: of anybody in baseball history, anybody ever. So we talk
4:53
Speaker 5: about arbitration, we talk about all that stuff like you're
4:55
Speaker 5: always compared to the guys of the past. When you
4:59
Speaker 5: look at that first six years of work that he
5:02
Speaker 5: put in, he was the most dominant. That really encapsulates
5:08
Speaker 5: what he was as a pitcher during that time. And
5:11
Speaker 5: that's so impressive to me.
5:14
Speaker 1: Trevor. Where does Clayton Kershaw rank on the Dodgers in
5:18
Speaker 1: the Dodgers lore? Where is he? It's been a lot
5:21
Speaker 1: of great players go through those doors.
5:25
Speaker 3: It's a long, storied franchise as well, so that's a
5:29
Speaker 3: lot of people and broadcasters included.
5:33
Speaker 4: They can go up on that Mount Rushmore.
5:35
Speaker 3: But for this generation, for anyone who has watched Dodgers
5:40
Speaker 3: baseball for the last twenty years, Clayton Kershaw's is the
5:43
Speaker 3: guy at the head.
5:44
Speaker 4: For them, and I think that puts him up on
5:46
Speaker 4: that mountain. Top five.
5:47
Speaker 3: I think that, especially if we're taking all the generations,
5:51
Speaker 3: everyone's got theirs, and he is this generation's Sandy Kofax.
5:55
Speaker 3: A lot of similarities also, interestingly enough, so absolutely top
6:00
Speaker 3: five for me all time.
6:02
Speaker 1: Is he the top since they moved to LA in
6:03
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty.
6:04
Speaker 4: Eight, that's an interesting question. I think he's got some.
6:10
Speaker 3: Maybe some competition with the broadcaster or maybe in being
6:14
Speaker 3: the most recognizable, maybe Vin Scully. But like in terms
6:17
Speaker 3: of guys playing on the field, I think he's the
6:20
Speaker 3: I think he's the guy that if you're putting up
6:22
Speaker 3: a history of the Dodgers banner somewhere, he might be
6:26
Speaker 3: the guy right in the middle.
6:27
Speaker 1: Oh so you met Vin Scully, not me? Okay, Good
6:30
Speaker 1: glad for the clarification on that in terms of the whoop,
6:33
Speaker 1: In terms of the mount rushmore of Dodgers lore, great career,
6:38
Speaker 1: unbelievable person. Congratulations to Clayton and Ellen Kershaw on what
6:43
Speaker 1: has been an unbelievable ride. Hopefully another ring is in
6:46
Speaker 1: his future, but certainly hopefully some postseason innings. Much more
6:49
Speaker 1: to come on foult seratory look at baby face kersh
6:52
Speaker 1: That was after he got drafted the first time he
6:55
Speaker 1: came to Dodgers Stadium. So, my goodness, who would have
6:59
Speaker 1: thought the amount of innings that young man was going
7:02
Speaker 1: to pitch at that very stadium that we would be
7:04
Speaker 1: talking about his retirement eighteen years actually more than eighteen years,
7:08
Speaker 1: because that's when he got drafted, so twenty years later.
7:11
Speaker 1: Ajlis is kind enough to take time away from his
7:14
Speaker 1: duties with the San Diego Padres they are in Chicago,
7:17
Speaker 1: to be with us to talk about and reflect on
7:19
Speaker 1: a career of his very good friend, Clayton Kershat. Aj
7:22
Speaker 1: Elis is probably one of the only people that when
7:25
Speaker 1: he got traded away, I was actually emotionally bummed about
7:29
Speaker 1: it when he left Los Angeles. Aj welcome. What was
7:32
Speaker 1: your immediate reaction to Clayton's announcement that he will, in
7:37
Speaker 1: fact retire at the end of the season.
7:40
Speaker 2: It's gonna see Ilana. It's been a long time, miss year.
7:43
Speaker 2: It's what a career it's been. Being able to watch
7:49
Speaker 2: him in my post playing career, watch his starts, watch
7:52
Speaker 2: the way he's battled through, the resiliency he's shown. I've
7:57
Speaker 2: just been in all of him and I'm glad that
8:00
Speaker 2: you know, he and Ellen and the family and he's.
8:03
Speaker 6: In the Dodger organization have a chemists realization.
8:06
Speaker 2: I've seen some people thinking, and I saw Freddy's quotes
8:09
Speaker 2: that you know, he thought, you know, Clayton would just
8:12
Speaker 2: just stop showing up.
8:13
Speaker 6: You know, he's just that kind of guy he is.
8:14
Speaker 6: But Baseball, the.
8:16
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, we all deserve the chance to honor him
8:20
Speaker 2: and celebrate him tonight and to me, a special day.
8:22
Speaker 2: I did just hear the news about Apple TV cut
8:24
Speaker 2: in the game, and it's a bummer. So I actually
8:26
Speaker 2: think because of that, he should actually come back and
8:28
Speaker 2: pitch in twenty twenty six.
8:31
Speaker 5: And then you'd have to do a whole nother day
8:34
Speaker 5: of retirement speeches for him. Look, you're gonna go on
8:37
Speaker 5: like one hundred different shows, tell us something because this
8:41
Speaker 5: is a player to play or show. Tell us something
8:44
Speaker 5: that we don't know about Clayton that you're not going
8:47
Speaker 5: to talk about when you ask when people ask, oh,
8:49
Speaker 5: what's his favorite color? When you go on the.
8:51
Speaker 6: Other shows, Oh man, that's what's going Eric.
8:55
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I don't know what's what stays in
8:57
Speaker 2: the clubhouse and what's what's what's able for publican supts
9:00
Speaker 2: And but uh no, you know it's in a in
9:03
Speaker 2: a world where you knows as a former player yourself
9:06
Speaker 2: and Trevor, you'll you'll you'll understand this as well. Baseball
9:10
Speaker 2: the grind is relentless, and we all have that time
9:14
Speaker 2: where day game after a night game. Uh, maybe he
9:17
Speaker 2: got a little over served the night before on the
9:19
Speaker 2: team plane, not feeling great, had a great had a
9:22
Speaker 2: tough morning with the kids at the house. Clayton's consistency
9:25
Speaker 2: and his inability to ever take the out when we
9:29
Speaker 2: all take it, we all turned that three setter into
9:32
Speaker 2: a two setter. We all turned that forty five pitch
9:34
Speaker 2: bullpen into a twenty pitch bullpen because I'm just not
9:37
Speaker 2: feeling he never cut a corner and that consistency that
9:40
Speaker 2: he showed was like, it's just that model that he had.
9:44
Speaker 6: I wasn't all on that.
9:45
Speaker 2: I think all his teammates are in all on that,
9:46
Speaker 2: and it's something that is is what you know, stood
9:50
Speaker 2: the test of time for his his ability to be
9:52
Speaker 2: consistent and to dominate on the field.
9:55
Speaker 5: Was there ever a point where you just because he
9:57
Speaker 5: was dominant, dominant like when kids go back and look
10:00
Speaker 5: at his baseball reference, he was dominant, dominant. Was there
10:02
Speaker 5: ever a point where you're like, I know, he should
10:05
Speaker 5: throw a fastball here or throw his curveball, but I
10:08
Speaker 5: just want to see if he's this good. We got
10:10
Speaker 5: two run lead. I want to see if I can
10:12
Speaker 5: just throw this. Was there ever a point where you
10:14
Speaker 5: were like, kind of like a heat check.
10:16
Speaker 2: No. You know what's funny is everything with him was
10:19
Speaker 2: so scripted out, like in our pregame meetings, and like
10:22
Speaker 2: he you know, I said earlier today when chatting a
10:25
Speaker 2: little bit, I think both of us were so fortunate
10:27
Speaker 2: to come up with you know, Rick hunting Cutting, Brad Ostmas,
10:30
Speaker 2: who really taught us. You know, you know what it
10:33
Speaker 2: was like to prepare, what it was like the game plan,
10:35
Speaker 2: and you know, Clayton took at the heart and so
10:37
Speaker 2: you know his ability to prepare and get ready for
10:39
Speaker 2: you know, an opponent. In that conversation we'd have two
10:41
Speaker 2: hours before that first start. He was so detailed with
10:44
Speaker 2: what he wanted to do on the mound. Uh, it
10:47
Speaker 2: didn't waiver and it was not the scoreboard did not matter,
10:50
Speaker 2: the score of the game did not It was his
10:52
Speaker 2: get outs as fast as he possibly could. His job
10:55
Speaker 2: was to throw innings, go deep in the game, and uh,
10:57
Speaker 2: you know that was his goal every season's every single
11:00
Speaker 2: season he took took the mound, was the lead the
11:03
Speaker 2: National League Indians pitch.
11:04
Speaker 6: That's all you wanted to do was lead the league
11:06
Speaker 6: in his.
11:06
Speaker 2: Pitch because that was the marked of effectiveness and so uh,
11:09
Speaker 2: having a game plan, having a scouting port, having a competitiveness,
11:12
Speaker 2: having an ability to game manage all played into that
11:14
Speaker 2: ability to really become, you know, the ace that he
11:18
Speaker 2: that he was for for such a long period of time.
11:22
Speaker 1: There's a couple of images that are just emblazoned in
11:24
Speaker 1: my brain. One is very doctored. It's you and Clayton
11:28
Speaker 1: coming out of the bullpen before a Clayton start. But
11:30
Speaker 1: it's like behind you, guys, was just this wall of
11:33
Speaker 1: fire because it was such an unbelievable battery and the
11:37
Speaker 1: relationship that you two had was second to none. And
11:40
Speaker 1: I'll also never forget when Clayton threw his arms up
11:42
Speaker 1: in the air.
11:43
Speaker 6: You were caught, you know, you caught the no hitter.
11:45
Speaker 1: You embraced You guys had such a special relationship. And
11:48
Speaker 1: I said at the top of this that I was.
11:50
Speaker 1: I was so emotionally upset when they traded you, but
11:54
Speaker 1: so was Clayton. And I remember the interview after the
11:58
Speaker 1: AJLS trade and Clayton was emotional. And Clayton does not
12:02
Speaker 1: show his emotions to the public often. Can you speak
12:05
Speaker 1: to his relationship and what you guys meant to each other?
12:09
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, to be able to be sixty feet away
12:15
Speaker 2: in your workplace from you know, the most dominant you know,
12:19
Speaker 2: picture of a generation, someone who's at the top of
12:22
Speaker 2: the world in what their their craft is, and that
12:25
Speaker 2: for that person also be your best friend. I don't
12:27
Speaker 2: know of anyone else who can can have that experience.
12:30
Speaker 2: And you know, we we came up in the Dodger
12:32
Speaker 2: system together. You know, I was a couple of years
12:34
Speaker 2: ahead of him in the draft, but he flew past
12:37
Speaker 2: me along the minor league away and player development as
12:39
Speaker 2: he you know, on the the trajector he was on.
12:41
Speaker 2: And but by the time we caught back up, you know,
12:44
Speaker 2: it was you know, we were just we were just connected.
12:46
Speaker 2: You know, we were in a cab together every morning,
12:49
Speaker 2: we're every day.
12:50
Speaker 6: To the ballpark. You know, we were we were just
12:53
Speaker 6: on the rail together. Hanging out.
12:54
Speaker 2: You know, at the time I was, I was not
12:56
Speaker 2: the everyday catcher. We had some really talented guys in
12:58
Speaker 2: Russ Martin, Rod Barajas and others. Uh so I was,
13:02
Speaker 2: you know, my job was to catch his bullpens, to
13:04
Speaker 2: be out and do his conditioning with him, just to
13:05
Speaker 2: kind of give him a partner to to train with.
13:07
Speaker 6: And in the midst of that time spent.
13:09
Speaker 2: Together, we we built a bond, and we we built
13:13
Speaker 2: some common so we had to we share some common
13:15
Speaker 2: interests with with with faith, and with our family, and
13:17
Speaker 2: our competitiveness and our desire for for teams success to
13:22
Speaker 2: surpass individual success. And you know, it's it's it's what's
13:26
Speaker 2: kind of kept us connected. It's what's kept us together
13:29
Speaker 2: for so long. And you know, it's been wonderful in
13:33
Speaker 2: my post playing career, even in my role with the Padres,
13:35
Speaker 2: to to continue to be a sounding board for him
13:37
Speaker 2: and to just to help walk through you know this,
13:40
Speaker 2: this this final act of his career with him, and
13:43
Speaker 2: you know, our friendship is beyond special to me compared
13:47
Speaker 2: to what it was to be his teammate. And I'm
13:49
Speaker 2: glad they we'll continue to be you know, great lifelong friends,
13:52
Speaker 2: you know, following his career, did.
13:55
Speaker 5: He discuss with you signing back with the with the Dodgers,
13:58
Speaker 5: And if he did, how close was he actually too
14:01
Speaker 5: because you said he's kind of a you're a confident
14:03
Speaker 5: for him somebody can talk to. Was there a sense
14:06
Speaker 5: he would have been for the Rangers.
14:09
Speaker 2: No, I think it's you know, fair to say, and
14:11
Speaker 2: Clayton even admitted that that's that's definitely something that had
14:13
Speaker 2: always you know, been you know, on the radar as
14:17
Speaker 2: a potential you know, final type of uh, you know,
14:21
Speaker 2: a final destination for his career, to get back home,
14:23
Speaker 2: to wake up every day, take his kids to school.
14:26
Speaker 2: I think there was a lot of attractiveness to that,
14:28
Speaker 2: but I think there was even but the poll towards
14:31
Speaker 2: being a one uniform guy, the poll towards you know,
14:35
Speaker 2: continue to just to play in post seasons and compete
14:38
Speaker 2: for that, it was was too strong.
14:40
Speaker 6: And you know, I think, you know, he doesn't like
14:42
Speaker 6: to talk legacy.
14:43
Speaker 2: He doesn't like to talk about his place in history,
14:46
Speaker 2: but he's also aware of it, and he's also aware
14:48
Speaker 2: of what he means to the Dodger fan base, what
14:51
Speaker 2: he means in the legacy of Sandy Kofax and Fernando
14:54
Speaker 2: Venezuela and then Clayton Kershaw. You know, he's left handed,
14:57
Speaker 2: you know, you know, generational people, talents and who have
15:02
Speaker 2: transcended Dodger Baseball, transcended and become Southern California icons. And
15:07
Speaker 2: it's just, you know, I think he realized, you know,
15:10
Speaker 2: a few years back, that you know, whenever it was
15:12
Speaker 2: time to conclude his Dodger career, that was also going
15:15
Speaker 2: to coincide at the end of his baseball career.
15:19
Speaker 3: Clayton and you just locked it in for me, He's
15:22
Speaker 3: always seemed like a guy who's pretty understated and doesn't
15:24
Speaker 3: love the spotlight, even though he has had so many
15:27
Speaker 3: moments in that spotlight. And for catching him being a
15:32
Speaker 3: friend for so long, what's a what's a quintessential behind
15:36
Speaker 3: the scenes like conversation moments, something that may seem understated
15:39
Speaker 3: in the moment, but that just demonstrates what type of
15:43
Speaker 3: pitcher and athlete and competitor that Clinton Kirsh ees.
15:47
Speaker 2: So you guys have beitt in the dugout during no
15:50
Speaker 2: hitters before and the game starts getting deeper and deeper
15:53
Speaker 2: in the game. We've all seen the scene where the
15:55
Speaker 2: starting pitcher is sitting alone and no one is talking
15:58
Speaker 2: to him, and everybody's kind of allowing him to.
16:00
Speaker 6: You know, no one wants to go and.
16:02
Speaker 2: Break the concentration or jinx the no hitter and talk
16:05
Speaker 2: to the starting pitcher, and you know, they're in his
16:07
Speaker 2: no hitter. In twenty fourteen against their Rockies, we're getting
16:10
Speaker 2: towards the later and ings of the game and no
16:11
Speaker 2: one's talking, and uh.
16:13
Speaker 6: But we're getting towards the bottom of the lineup, and
16:15
Speaker 6: we we.
16:15
Speaker 2: We realized the you know, if the Rockies are definitely
16:18
Speaker 2: gonna start deploying some right handed hitters, they have a
16:20
Speaker 2: pitcher spot coming up, there's gonna be some pinch hitters
16:22

16:25
Speaker 2: there kind of staring at the lineup car kind of
16:26

16:30
Speaker 2: we feel this this present sneak up behind us. It's
16:33
Speaker 2: between both and Clayton says, who they gonna pitch it?
