00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.919
An exciting game here at Oracle Park
yesterday, the Dodgers scoring seven runs in

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.759
the eleventh inning, and the man
that had the best view of all was

3
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.759
Dodgers third base coach Dino Ebol.
Dino, Happy Sunday. Thanks a lot

4
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.759
for the time, oh always,
Dave, thank you for having me on.

5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.079
What an exciting chess match going on
even before that eleventh inning, Dino,

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.640
the five man infield, who I
know you're a big proponent of from

7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.839
your days with Mike Zosia. Absolutely, and that's something that I grew a

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.520
custom, you know about in the
defensive end of it through Mike, and

9
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.679
Mike did it, you know,
one thousand percent of the time anytime we

10
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.479
were on the road. But you
know, Dave did it yesterday. We're

11
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.600
well prepared. We know what we're
doing on the defensive side, where to

12
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.399
position guys, who's the hitter,
players, know what to do when the

13
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.280
balls hits. So I like that. I think our staff liked it,

14
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.039
and I was, you know,
I know Dave is a big part of

15
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.520
it, and yesterday you know,
he put it in play and you know

16
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.640
what David chose that you know,
puts a little pressure on the hitter,

17
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.079
has to get a ball up in
the zone, he has to hit a

18
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.319
fly ball. He might have sworn
a pitches that he's not customedly swinging at.

19
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.239
So put the pressure on them and
big k from you know, Hudson

20
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.400
getting their Bailey on that in that
moment, that's a great point. That's

21
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.640
why we come to dino Ebol.
And in that four run fourth inning,

22
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.040
you made an aggressive send on Gavin
Lux's base hit to right field. Jason

23
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.760
Hayward certainly made Patrick Bailey a little
bit nervous bearing down on him. Absolutely,

24
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.359
And you know there's times and I
tell you all the time and I

25
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.680
say this, and I truly mean
this. I'm not a perfect third base

26
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.760
coach, but I do I know
the process of it, you know,

27
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.000
the inning, the outs and all
that stuff that the outfielders arm. And

28
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:42.640
right there, I felt like,
right now we need a little push.

29
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.840
And I told Jason after the inning
way to go away, to run through

30
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.239
the base and a big body coming
at home play you just you know,

31
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.200
I know there's no more the running
to catcher over, but there's still some

32
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.959
presence there. I pushed the envelope
a little bit and we got a break

33
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.599
there when he missed the ball Dodger's
third bait. Coach Tino Ebol is our

34
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.680
guest. All right, let's fast
forward to that seven run eleventh inning.

35
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.960
What was it like being in the
coaches box and obviously see that avalanche happen.

36
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.960
Yeah, it was impressive inning from
our hitters. Right away. I

37
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.599
felt like when Shohey was up there
with the you know, a man on

38
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.520
second base, I thought Bob was
gonna do what he did and he walked

39
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.520
him. And what a clutch double
for Will Smith. There's the there's the

40
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.120
opportunity that Will shines in big moment
in the game, extra innings, packed

41
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.000
house, and he delivers the big
double. It puts us over the edge,

42
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.800
and then it just a carousel.
Everybody was. They were passing the

43
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.639
baton, they were swinging at good
pitches. The pitcher was giving us pitches

44
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.800
to hit, and we exploded for
seven. But the thing that I got

45
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.599
excited on was Jason a triple down
the line for a veteran player coming around

46
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.800
and head diving at third base and
getting up showing that emotion. Man,

47
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.599
I got I got the chills out
there. It fired me up, and

48
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.960
I looked in our dugout and everybody
was on their feet, so big,

49
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.520
big inning for us and a lot
of runs in that moment. Was that

50
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.919
the baseball God rewarding Jason Hayward for
making the right baseball play in the tenth

51
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.319
inning to move the gifted runner to
third base, There's no doubt about it.

52
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.319
And for me standing out in that
box, I thought, that's a

53
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.080
team at bat where you know,
a left handed hitter get a guy over,

54
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.439
and Jason forgot about his own self
ego and he just put it to

55
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.879
play, like, hey, this
is gonna be a team at bat.

56
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.439
I'm gonna do everything I can to
move a runner over, and then he

57
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.439
delivers big in the eleventh, which
it was exciting to watch. It's ironic

58
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.159
because before yesterday's game, Dino Ebol
was telling me about team at bats,

59
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.599
how many at bats a player has
to sacrifice the entire season, And you

60
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:45.520
had the utmost veteran leader do that
in the tenth inning, right, And

61
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.400
that's something I learned long time ago. And you know your big horses on

62
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.800
your team, you're gonna get six
hundred and fifty seven hundred played appearances and

63
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.599
there's maybe five to ten good at
bats a year where you're gonna give yourself

64
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.960
up. You're gonna have a guy
on second base move a runner over.

65
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.360
Those are the team at bats and
we were talking about it yesterday and it

66
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.800
came into play with Jason yesterday.
All Right, Dinu Ebel, I respect

67
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:12.120
your baseball IQ quite a bit.
But your choice of a hoodie in ninety

68
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.000
degree weather here in San Francisco,
I'm questioning right now. Yeah, you

69
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:19.079
know what, out of a scale
from twenty to eighty, I'm probably twenty

70
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.879
right now. I should be in
short sleeves. But you know what,

71
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:28.360
I'm not superstitious. But this is
what I wore yesterday. So it's baseball.

72
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.319
This is what I do. I
love the heat, I love the

73
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.439
weather, and today's a great day
here in San Francisco. It's a great

74
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.240
day for us to take the series. Gino can sate enough. Dave Roberts

75
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.360
a great manager, but certainly he
has a great support staff, which starts

76
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.240
with you and the rest of the
coaches. So thank you for your time

77
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.279
always, Dave, and thank you, And you're right, Dave's great.

78
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.639
We got a good coaching staff and
try to put a day together and win

79
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.160
each and every day, and that's
what we do. We'll look forward to

80
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.439
a happy flight. Yes sir,
that's what we need.
