Speaker 1: Nothing like some Tracy Chapman in the Dodger Clubhouse before
Speaker 1: Game two of this three game series. And we're joined
Speaker 1: right now by Max Munsey, who saved the day in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways in the ninth inning with his defense. Max,
Speaker 1: thanks a lot.
Speaker 2: For the time. Yeah, good, good to see you again.
Speaker 1: How much do you know about Tracy Chapman, Moncie.
Speaker 2: I know it's a good song. I don't even know
Speaker 2: any more than that.
Speaker 1: No, that's all you need to know before we talk
Speaker 1: about the ninth inning last night. What's it like for
Speaker 1: you and just the guys that we're.
Speaker 2: Here in twenty to come back again.
Speaker 3: And this place is always gonna be special, you know,
Speaker 3: for me, it's multiple reasons.
Speaker 2: It's home.
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up coming, not to necessarily to
Speaker 3: this stadium, but to the old stadium for you know,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Grew up coming to that stadium, and so this place
Speaker 2: will always be special for that reason.
Speaker 3: And then too, getting that World Series, the circumstances around
Speaker 3: that World Series, you know, being stuck with everybody in
Speaker 3: the hotel for forty straight days.
Speaker 2: You know, I just this this.
Speaker 3: Place will always be special for those reasons, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's really cool to come back here for you know,
Speaker 3: the the group of guys that we're here.
Speaker 2: And it's also always.
Speaker 3: Fun to come back here with Freddy because we get
Speaker 3: to you know, we to throw a couple of jabs
Speaker 3: at Freddy, you know, hay Rim when you guys were
Speaker 3: up three to one and the end of the losing.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just fun to do that. So this
Speaker 2: this place will always have a special place.
Speaker 1: It's funny you brought up Freddie yesterday. Blake Trenton pulled
Speaker 1: up the video of the pitch he served up to
Speaker 1: Freddy that he thought was a home run in Game seven,
Speaker 1: and Mookie robbed him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a good but it was we were
Speaker 3: all fired up at that point, and you know that
Speaker 3: was that was Freddie was on fire that season in
Speaker 3: that playoffs especially, he was doing some damage to us,
Speaker 3: and so you know, for that ball to not find
Speaker 3: a way over the fence, that was a pretty big
Speaker 3: moment for us.
Speaker 1: Max Monthsey is our guest. All right, let's go back
Speaker 1: to last night the ninth inning. You made two amazing plays.
Speaker 1: The first one you were able to get your old
Speaker 1: buddy Seeger at second base. I know you've put in
Speaker 1: a lot of work, but for you to stick with
Speaker 1: the process and be the hero with your glove, I'm
Speaker 1: sure that meant a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was a big night for us.
Speaker 2: It was a good one.
Speaker 3: You know, Yama was unbelievable and it's it's one of
Speaker 3: those things where with Yama this year, the way he's
Speaker 3: been pitching, we feel like anytime he's on the mound,
Speaker 3: we're just in total control out there. And that's kind
Speaker 3: of how last night fell. I know it was a
Speaker 3: one to nothing game, but it just felt like we
Speaker 3: were in complete control of that game. And that's just
Speaker 3: the kind of confidence that he's pitching with on the mound,
Speaker 3: and that also instills into all of us on defense.
Speaker 3: And you know, bullpen came in, did their job, and
Speaker 3: you know, for me to to to close it out
Speaker 3: that way, that was that.
Speaker 2: Was you know, big moment for me.
Speaker 3: And like I said, I haven't put in a lot
Speaker 3: of work, and you know, I've been feeling great over there.
Speaker 3: I know I've had a couple of mistakes, but those
Speaker 3: were on the you know, the throwing front, which is
Speaker 3: usually not the issue for me.
Speaker 2: But that's just that's just the way baseball goes sometimes.
Speaker 1: Hey, Max, the difference last night was that you and
Speaker 1: your infieldmates played through whatever the umpire was gonna call.
Speaker 1: What did you see on that ground ball? And reacting
Speaker 1: to that ground ball from Josh Young that turned into
Speaker 1: end the game.
Speaker 3: Well, you play until the empire tells you otherwise, especially
Speaker 3: on defense. And know with that play down the line,
Speaker 3: he's right there in my ear, and so I fielded
Speaker 3: the ball, and I I was pretty positive it was
Speaker 3: a foul ball. And you know, I wasn't entirely ready
Speaker 3: to make that play, but I didn't hear him say anything.
Speaker 2: He's right there in my ear, and so I turned and.
Speaker 3: Fired at the second and you know, I was able
Speaker 3: to get the guy in time, and you know then
Speaker 3: he wasn't running down the line, so that worked out
Speaker 3: for us. But yeah, it's just one of those things
Speaker 3: where we have to play until until the umpire tells
Speaker 3: you otherwise. And uh, yeah, that was definitely a very strange,
Speaker 3: very strange ball. I was positive as foul. But you
Speaker 3: go back and look at the replay and I think
Speaker 3: he I think he got the call right.
Speaker 1: I guess that it's time for me to go because
Speaker 1: Austin Barnes is over here, right the hero of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty World Series. I think he still has the
Speaker 1: baseball in his back pocket right now.
Speaker 2: He might, Yeah, I think he's.
Speaker 3: I think he switched it out here. I think he
Speaker 3: gave back a fake one and he kept the real one.
Speaker 1: You know that, That's what I would do at least. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's Riverside Street smarts right there.
Speaker 3: Well, you gotta do what you gotta do, you know,
Speaker 3: and uh and that in that case, that would definitely
Speaker 3: be something that I would do.
Speaker 2: You know, that's a special ball. You got hold on
Speaker 2: that one. I love it.
Speaker 1: Great play, Grete ninth Inning, Max, and obviously everybody in
Speaker 1: this room believes in you and keep going.
Speaker 2: Thanks David,
