00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.759
Sometimes we all need somebody to lean
on, and yesterday Freddie Freeman leaned on

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:08.480
Key k Hernandez and his first base
coach, Clayton McCullough. Freddy, you

3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.320
can lean on me anytime. I
appreciate that. That was a good that's

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.439
a good lead in to serve your
nice one, David. Yeah, that's

5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.399
that's not as easy as people think. Playing four games at course Field.

6
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.079
Yeah, you know, I've obviously
never dealt with that before. But usually

7
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.920
it's a three game series you can
get through. It's usually night games too.

8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.559
But our first day there of the
four days, it was a really

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.920
hot one is in the upper nineties. Next two days are okay, but

10
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.399
it just takes a twenty body.
You're just not used to the altitude.

11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.399
But the fourth day obviously day game, and it was in about low nineties

12
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.640
there too, and long four days. We're in a tough stretch of twelve

13
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.799
in a row. My last that
bat, you know, there's you can

14
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.000
sniff it hit and smell it hit
sometimes and I emptied the tank and obviously

15
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.359
I'm thinking it all the way and
I need a little help with back to

16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.759
the first base. Hey, the
last Dodger player I heard that went to

17
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.439
the oxygen mask was reliever Jp Howe. So two lefties going to the tank.

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.799
Yeah, but there's actually a few
guys that went to the tank.

19
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.599
I just don't know. You don't
hear about it. During that series we

20
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.159
had, we scored a few runs. A lot of guys scored goal from

21
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.400
first to home. It's mostly the
outfielders. That's a like it's a little

22
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.760
little bit of running the right field
and back. So that one game Jay

23
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.920
Hay played, he scored from first
and he kept running back and forth that

24
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.519
he was a little tired too.
So I'm not gonna throw some people out

25
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:27.840
there, but there's a few other
guys that took some mosters, not just

26
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.560
me. Hey, Freddie, it's
okay, nothing to be worried about.

27
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.599
The biggest thing is Freddie Freeman's in
the starting lineup today. Well you thought

28
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.040
that was what did you think it
out? No way, no way.

29
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.519
I got a day off on Sunday. Yeah, what are days off?

30
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.079
What are days off? Freddie had
five walks in the first game at Corus

31
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.879
Field. Is that indicative of how
well you're seeing the ball? Well?

32
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.200
I would actually beg to differ on
that. I had about six or seven

33
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.799
pitches to hit and foul them off. So I obviously I can critique myself

34
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.599
more than anybody in this ell critique
me. But I had some pitches of

35
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.480
the hit, but I was ultimately
able to lead to walks and not get

36
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.080
myself out. But the swing has
been better off the last you know,

37
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.639
three or four weeks, but still
some cut swings here and there, but

38
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.479
ultimately better swings each day. Wow, Freddie, that was not the answer

39
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.400
I was expecting. You are so
hard on yourself. How do you allow

40
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.560
yourself to enjoy the fruits of your
labor? I don't, I think if

41
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.879
you ask my wife, it ever
happens. I just yeah, I expect

42
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.240
a lot of myself. But yeah, maybe maybe when I'm done playing playing,

43
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.759
I'll and I'll look back. But
as I'm in it, yeah,

44
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.919
it's usually never good enough. Freddie, you grew up in Orange County.

45
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.639
Obviously the Angels were your team.
Do you get excited wearing this uniform in

46
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.800
a freeway series? I get excited, Yeah, be home and playing in

47
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.280
front of my family pretty much every
single day, like my dad's gonna be

48
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.719
coming tonight. So that's the cool
thing. What's cool to me is playing

49
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.319
these games and I get to see
Garrett Anderson walk on the field, which

50
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.719
I just saw him about ten minutes
ago. So he's obviously my favorite player

51
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.960
growing up, so being able to
come here and see him, and you

52
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.840
know, that's what's so enjoyable for
me, and being home. Obviously I

53
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.680
didn't grow up a Dodgers fan because
I grew up ten minutes from Angel Stadium.

54
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.759
But I think we're all Dodger fans
now, so we've got to beat

55
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.000
the Angels, yeah, no doubt. And Charlie's here too, your dad,

56
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:23.240
Charlie, and nobody cares about course
fielding the Freeman family, None of

57
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.879
them did. The three year olds
were opening up fight early. We played

58
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.400
some hide and seek at the house, we did some stuff, and then

59
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.840
obviously came here and started throwing at
Charlie and doing that, and yeah,

60
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.360
they don't care about that. Yeah, Freddy's got a lather like it's the

61
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.240
seventh inning of the game already.
I know, we just we just threw

62
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.639
two buckets. I did my work
out here, I'm about to go hit

63
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.599
them in the cage. So about
six hours straight hopefully of good stuff.

64
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.319
Right, you know, there's one
other Dizzy related song, The Goo Goo

65
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.680
Dolls Dizzy David, let's just end
this thing. Yeah, it sounds good.

66
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.240
Thanks Freddy David
