1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.120
<v Speaker 1>What would it be for the Dodgers to try to

2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.719
<v Speaker 1>repeat and defend their World championship without one of the

3
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>key members of their ball club ever since the Dodgers

4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>acquired him in that huge three way trade back in

5
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen with the Marlins, the Angels, all of that,

6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 1>and here he is in living color at camel Back

7
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Ranch before games started. Keith k hernandez kiy K thanks

8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot for the time and men, it would not

9
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>have been the same without you.

10
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you gotta love a three way, right, got I

11
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>mean a three way trade. Gotta love a good big

12
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>three way trade.

13
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You gotta love it. You and Austin Barnes are still here.

14
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Still here, survived a lot of things.

15
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you look back at your journey and where

16
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you're at right now and the reputation that you've built

17
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>for yourself, do you have time to reflect on that

18
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>or are you still so much in the moment.

19
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>There's times to think about stuff, but you just want

20
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to be in the moment because this career can be

21
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>really long, but it feels social where it feels like

22
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>yesterday that I got here, and here I am ten

23
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>years later. Been acquired four different times by this organization,

24
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it's it's been an honor to to

25
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>wear this uniform for this long and to really to

26
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 2>be able to play in so many big games. I

27
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>feel like this has been a blessing for my career too,

28
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, to be in the postseason every single year,

29
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>that's what we play the game. Uh yeah, we're making money,

30
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>but at the end of the day, you play the

31
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>game to win. And that's something that we've done here

32
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time, and I hope to keep doing.

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>You had such a big part in the Dodgers championship

34
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>run last year. It felt like when Kei k got

35
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 1>into the starting lineup is when the Dodgers really took off.

36
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Have you had a chance to go back and watch

37
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>any of those games or is that something you don't do.

38
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I started doing it. I watched every game against the Padres,

39
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and then and then life happened and I wasn't able

40
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to continue. I was I was going to plan and

41
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>watch the whole postseason, but I I haven't really gotten

42
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 2>to watch too much of the Mets and the Yankees. Uh,

43
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>they were playing highlights earlier, and there was just a

44
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>lot of things that I couldn't remember that happened, but uh,

45
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, man, it was it was a special run.

46
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of weird in the sense that it

47
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>felt like it lasted another season, but at the same

48
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>time it flew by, so uh you know, just you're

49
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>so in the moment that it's kind of like you're

50
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>blacked out for nine innings and you know you're so

51
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 2>mentally exhausted and in that entire month that there's no

52
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>really much time to think about stuff. But uh, yeah,

53
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that. Uh, I'm glad that I was able

54
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>to be a big part of it. You know, I won.

55
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 2>We won in twenty and I didn't have as meaningful

56
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>role as as I did last year, and I get

57
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>it to when you win, there's nothing like it, but

58
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, just to be being able to do it

59
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>both ways, it added a little more special specialness to

60
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>this one, just considering the fact that I started every

61
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>game after a Game four against at Padres.

62
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you did. No coincidence the Dodgers took off after

63
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that and Keik Hernandez, who missed out on the ring

64
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>ceremony in twenty twenty one, is going to be on

65
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that third baseline wearing a Dodger uniform, and I'm as

66
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>excited for you as anybody to be able to be

67
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>showered by the fans that day.

68
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely last time it was, I knew that I was leaving,

69
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>so it didn't matter if we won or didn't win.

70
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>It was going to be a fact that I was gonna,

71
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, go go on a different journey. And I

72
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>was totally fine with it. I accepted it all. And

73
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>then when that day came, I felt left out and

74
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I felt like I wanted to be a part of

75
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>that just for that one day, but obviously that didn't happen.

76
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>And to get to come back this time and where

77
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>that gold uniform and get that ring in front of

78
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 2>my in front of that home home crowd instead of

79
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>getting it in a box in the mail delivered to

80
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Fenway Park is a little different.

81
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>And Key k Hernandez works not only in October but

82
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>during the entire regular season. I know how much you

83
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>pour into every day, not just October days, but every day.

84
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So thank you and great to have you here early

85
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.040
