00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Were you surprised when he came back to LA We

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>turned the heat up one hundred degrees this weekend.

13
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Tale, Yeah, I don't like it that hot, but you

14
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>know it's going to be better than Cleveland and New

15
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>York definitely. So I can wait to those days who

16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>come and we can enjoy a really good series in

17
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>here at home.

18
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I know players take it one game at a time,

19
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 1>but us, we are very excited about this rematch from

20
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>last year that you've taken batting practice. Do you feel

21
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>the excitement in the city about this matchup?

22
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's I think for me and the rest

23
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>of the team is normal. Obviously, we know that is

24
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>a big series for the fans for baseball, going back

25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>from from last year to this year, especially because the

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Yankees they're playing better. They have better team than Max.

27
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 2>They're playing really good right now. So it just you know,

28
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>it's just gonna be a good show for the fans

29
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>and for baseball. We just got to enjoy it.

30
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>What do you remember the most about that fifth inning

31
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>of Game five? Do you remember your big game tying hit?

32
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember what led up to that? What sticks

33
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>out to you the most?

34
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I think I remember everything, you know, everything about that.

35
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>They the way the games start, they start really hot

36
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>with that. But you know, we always believing the things

37
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>that we can do in a baseball field. We never

38
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>give up. We take some good at bats, we play

39
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>the game out outs, and especially a fifth inning, we

40
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 2>just put some really good at bats together. Of course,

41
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>they make some mistakes, but just part of the games.

42
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>But thank god that we got those mistakes and the

43
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>big bats and the big hit at the end of

44
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>the day.

45
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>How often do you look at the World Series ring?

46
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Not anymore so I got it. I think the last

47
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>time I saw it was the next day after that.

48
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm the guy, the player that the passes

49
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the past. Obviously it was a good one last year,

50
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>but I have to focus on it in this one

51
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and just skip on on.

52
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Ta Oscar Hernandez is a player that everybody loves. I

53
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>see that you have friendships even with players on other teams.

54
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>How well do you know a guy like Aaron Judge.

55
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Have you got to know him at the All Star

56
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Game or the home run derby last year? Uh?

57
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Not really. You know, he got a lot of things

58
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 2>to do.

59
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>You do too, You're busy too.

60
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, but not like him. Not like him. You know,

61
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Judge is a really good person, excellent player, a Hall

62
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>of Famer. He's doing excellent this year. Uh you know,

63
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>it just when you get to watch that guy and

64
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>show hey in the same field, it just I think

65
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that I get to see it from the

66
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>first row. From row. You know, you just enjoy everything

67
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 2>that happens to those two guys.

68
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to Cody Bellinger earlier today and he

69
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was saying similar things that I'm a good player. Tail

70
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>is a good player. There's a lot of good players,

71
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>but those two seem to be a different levels.

72
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>In a different level they make they make baseball look

73
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>so easy. I don't think he's that easy, but you know,

74
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 2>it is good to see those kind of players. UH

75
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>played with them, against them. I played against Judge for

76
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of years when I was in Toronto, against

77
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>show Hey for a lot of years when he was

78
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 2>in Anaheim. And you know, getting to watch it like

79
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>every day, to show it and watch everything that Judge

80
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>is doing is really special. So I'm glad that I

81
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>get to see those two guys play and play against

82
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 2>each other and play together. Now we shore.

83
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but the fans in LA react to you a

84
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit differently. I mean, these fans really have become

85
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 1>a second family to you.

86
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's very special. The fans from last year.

87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I think I showed it on the raide. They make

88
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 2>everything easier for me when I'm going through a slum

89
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 2>or any like difficult on a baseball field. They got

90
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>my bag. They're always there supporting me. Not only me,

91
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 2>so the rest of the team.

92
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Heyo, it's a real thing. Right Dodger Stadium. You guys

93
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>playing here, there is a real home field advantage.

94
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you're gonna get fifty thousand people plus

95
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>every single day. It doesn't matter who were playing, what

96
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>day we're playing, You're gonna get the support from from

97
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>the best fun ever. And I play in a really

98
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>good cities. Yeah, And I don't think there's any fan

99
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>base like the Dodgers.

100
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, Taylor, there's nobody like Tay Oscar Hernandez. We

101
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>want to see a lot of sunflower seeds in your

102
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>face and everybody else's face this home stand.

103
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, hopefully we can put a good show for the

104
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>fans and we get to win the game.
