WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>We are with a twenty twenty four world champion and

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.679
<v Speaker 1>even more importantly, part of that dog bullpen that carried

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.359
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers through October. He is now with the Chicago Cubs,

4
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.839
<v Speaker 1>and that is the one and only Ryan Braza.

5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Ryan, thanks a lot for the time. Yeah, no problem, man,

6
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Excited to be back in LA.

7
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday was a special day for you, I'm sure, being

8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>able to not only get your World Series ring, but

9
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to have your bullpen mates present you with it.

10
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 2>What was the feeling? Yeah, it was really cool.

11
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, I didn't really know what to expect, how

12
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna get it, or you know, when they

13
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 3>were gonna do it. But I really liked how they

14
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, the bullpen guys brought it out with some

15
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 3>of the pitching coaches and Doc was out here and

16
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 3>a little more like personal I.

17
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Guess it was. It was really cool.

18
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>So were you surprised when it was the relievers that

19
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you pitched with last year?

20
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>No, not really.

21
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 3>You know, like we had a pretty good, you know,

22
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 3>strong group down there. You know, everybody was pretty close

23
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 3>and but like I said, I'm glad that that's the

24
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 3>way they.

25
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Decided to do it.

26
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>How proud are you of what those guys, what you

27
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>were able to do together as a unit, because it

28
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>was very unique.

29
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, you know it.

30
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, not having a full staff that was healthy,

31
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, starting pitching wise, and having to have a

32
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>couple of bullpen games in the playoffs.

33
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's kind of wild, honestly.

34
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, you don't see it work out very often

35
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 3>for teams that try to do that. You know, most

36
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 3>of the teams that you know, win in the playoffs

37
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 3>or winning the World Series are have three or four,

38
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 3>like you know, fully healthy starting pitchers.

39
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But what we were able to do.

40
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Down there and kind of piece it together and even

41
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>just the team as a whole was.

42
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Was super special, especially in this day and age where

43
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>obviously business and baseball kind of bleeds together. What does

44
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it say about the character of all of you to

45
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of put that aside and just be focused on winning.

46
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like I said, man, it's it's a different, different atmosphere,

47
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 3>different ball game.

48
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, once you get to October.

49
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I think everybody kind of bought into

50
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the idea of it. You know, whether you're throwing the

51
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>first inning or the last inning, like you know, just

52
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 3>try to go and get twenty of an ounce.

53
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Brazier, world champion last year with the Dodgers, is

54
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 1>our guest. Okay, I want to ask you about these

55
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>sequence of events Game five of the World Series, not

56
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>only what Walker Buehler did, but what Blake Trining did.

57
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you take us through where you were and just

58
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>what that meant to the team to have Blake and

59
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Walker do what they did.

60
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you know, Walker was in. I went inside

61
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 3>after I pitched and he was on the training table and.

62
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>We scored all those runs.

63
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 3>And you know, obviously the bullpen came in early that game.

64
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 3>So Walker was like, all right, you got to stop

65
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 3>working on me because I'm gonna go down to the bullpen.

66
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, dude, you're think, aren't you supposed to

67
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 3>pitch tomorrow or whatever? And anyways, you know, he went

68
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>down to the bullpen, and you know Blake coming in

69
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>and getting out.

70
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 2>But Blake was huge, you.

71
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 3>Know, all the whole postseason last year, and he you know,

72
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 3>I got big out after big out and and you know,

73
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 3>threw more pitches and I think I've ever seen him

74
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 3>throw in a game.

75
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, a couple of times during throughout the.

76
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Playoffs, and you know Walker coming in to shut the

77
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 3>door like he did, you know, after after some some

78
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 3>rough outings or whatever. Just like I said, it just

79
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 3>getting twenty seven outs as quick as we can. And

80
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, everybody was kind of bought into the same idea.

81
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, the visualization I have, the image I have

82
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 1>of what you're describing yourself. Included is a US aircraft

83
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 1>carrier and they're sending up all these Tomahawk jets and

84
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>those jets are all you guys, the relievers in that

85
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>game five.

86
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I don't know, you know how you

87
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 3>want to explain it, but you know it just we

88
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 3>knew that we were gonna have to throw a lot

89
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 3>of innings as a group, and you know, just just

90
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 3>never wavered on when we were pitching or you know

91
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 3>what any it was.

92
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, everybody just was ready. Whatever.

93
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 1>You're a two time world champion, Can you tell us

94
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>whether or not it's true? Whenever you see those guys

95
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>that you want a world serious with, how close is

96
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that bond forever?

97
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 3>No?

98
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>It is, you know for sure.

99
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, even guys that I see from eighteen, you

100
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 3>know that are still playing or I haven't seen a

101
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 3>couple of years.

102
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like we haven't spent.

103
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Any time apart, you know, being here and getting to

104

<v Speaker 1>of days. Ryan Brazier is a big sports fan. So
