WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>We are inside the Dodger Clubhouse with one of the

2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers anchors of the bullpen and a man that obviously

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.839
<v Speaker 1>has had a remarkable season coming back from what I

4
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>think we all take.

5
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>For granted, some serious injuries.

6
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 1>And Blake Trinan is our guest, a newly groomed Blake

7
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>trining went from the hul Kogan stash to now just

8
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 1>the I don't know, Cali kind of a goatee soul patch, right,

9
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're being questioned about it.

10
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 3>It's I don't know if you can limit it to

11
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 3>just I don't know what you just called it, but

12
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 3>it's definitely a Midwest kate.

13
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Is it a walla walla goatee?

14
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 4>No? No.

15
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Start with Gilmesh back in the day, he had an

16
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.280
<v Speaker 3>awkward triangle goats, you know, so that was kind of cool.

17
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 4>And then I used to not be able to grow

18
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 4>anything but the goatee, so that's what I went with.

19
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, for a guy that is not

20
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>from California and spends a lot of his time out

21
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>there in Parts Unknown, you have some nice quaffed hair

22
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and you know how to groom yourself pretty well.

23
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 3>This was a product of my wife wanting me to

24
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 3>have been adult haircut. I I enjoy more of like

25
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 3>a like I grew up with, like just like a

26
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>military cut.

27
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 4>My dad's in the Air Force, so we'd always just do

28
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 4>tapers and a little bit up top.

29
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 3>And for the longest time I just did like a

30
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 3>fade with a kind of like a mess I just

31
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 3>called what my barber.

32
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Called it a messy mop, just like spiking up top.

33
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 3>But one day my barber and Washington cut my hair

34
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 3>and had me hard party and push it over, and

35
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 3>I said, this is not me and my wife loved it,

36
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 3>So I, uh, that's what we have now, that's what

37
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 3>we roll with.

38
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, happy wife, happy life, blake trying.

39
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 3>No one ever says happy man, happy clan, but it's

40
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 3>always happy wife, happy life, which is true.

41
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 4>It should be that way.

42
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 1>What do you have to keep happy in the Dodger bullpen?

43
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Who's like your bullpen wife or bullpen husband.

44
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 3>There's no such thing as a bullpen wife, but there

45
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>there are people you gotta keep happy. And I think

46
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Brazier is the guy you gotta keep happy.

47
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Really high meenance, Brazier.

48
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>No, not high maenance. That's putting words in our mouth.

49
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 4>You're about to get kicked out of the clubhouse.

50
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I know he looked over here, he snapped that neck

51
00:01:59.239 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>this way.

52
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 4>Hey, that's his words, not mine. Called you high maintenance.

53
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>He said you have to keep you healthy. He keep

54
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 2>you healthy and happy.

55
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Right, I didn't. That's not even part of the question. Okay,

56
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 4>let's move on.

57
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Blake trying is our guest as far as the bullpen, though,

58
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 1>you guys are like your own sub team of the

59
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 1>bigger parts of a major league team. What's what's it

60
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>been like down there for all of you guys to

61
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>really come together? And I feel like you guys have

62
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 1>been really the steadying force of the team from day one.

63
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think what our team has done a good

64
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 3>job of is where when one we'll call them groups, right,

65
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 3>like you have like the offense, you have the starting.

66
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Pitchers and the leaders.

67
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 3>So when when the offense is clicking, it's usually at

68
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 3>a good time when maybe the bullpen hasn't been sharp,

69
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 3>or the starting pitching hasn't been what they wanted, or

70
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>vice versus.

71
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 4>So the nice thing is is different parts of our.

72
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Team have picked up the slack when other parts have

73
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>gone through it, and it's one of those unique situations

74
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 3>where it's lined up for the most part this year,

75
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.879
<v Speaker 3>and there's been a couple of stretches or maybe a

76
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 3>stretch where kind of everything was struggling a little bit,

77
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 3>you know.

78
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, our offense is.

79
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Been swinging the bat extremely well, We've been playing good defense,

80
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 3>and pitching overall has been in a really good spot.

81
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know if you can say one one

82
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 3>section of the of the team has been, you know,

83
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 3>more reliable than the other. I think we've all just

84
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 3>tried to do our parts to play good team baseball

85
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>and win. So like that means if you have to,

86
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, press a little bit more one day to

87
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 3>help you pick up a load from a different aspect

88
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 3>of the of the team, then that's what we do.

89
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 1>It feels like you guys are getting healthy at the

90
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>right time. Obviously you're missing Glass now in Yamamoto, but

91
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be back soon. The lineup is healthy,

92
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the bullpen is very healthy. Do you feel like it's

93
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 1>starting to come together for you guys at the right time.

94
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

95
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's funny, you know people might ask these questions.

96
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't really think of it that way. Baseball over

97
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 3>the last few years has literally been like, Okay, well,

98
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 3>who's going to have to deal with it this year

99
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 3>because for whatever reason, you know, the league is just

100
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 3>whether it's rule changes or whatever. You know, we've been

101
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 3>playing a game a certain way for so long, and

102
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 3>you add about five things a year. You body has

103
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>to adapt, the mind has to adapt. You never know,

104
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 3>game changes so much, so you try to figure out

105
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>a way to just to get through the season and

106
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 3>be as healthy as you can for the playoffs.

107
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>How do you feel at this point in time in

108
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 2>the season.

109
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like I said, I feel like we take

110
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 1>for granted what you've been through with Daniel Hudson has

111
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>been through the last couple of years, and you guys

112
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>are standing tall right now.

113
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 4>I feel good.

114
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's probably the least amount of workload I've

115
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 3>ever had in my career when you look at amount

116
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>of innings throughout the season. But you know, having broken

117
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 3>ribs at the beginning of the year didn't help, and

118
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>then missing the last couple of years. So they're doing

119
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 3>a good job managing my workload making sure that I

120
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 3>can be of use as the LEA as the season

121
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 3>wears on when we get to the playoffs. So I'm

122
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 3>grateful for their approach to that, but I love competing.

123
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, just whenever whenever we're called upon, we're trying

124
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 3>to do our job, and I think we all feel

125
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 3>pretty good right now.

126
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Blake Trenon is our guest before first pitch between the

127
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers and Orioles. You have a new bullpen mate in

128
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Michael Kopek. What's it been like to get to know

129
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>him and be part of the same group.

130
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 4>He's the worst against the other team.

131
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he met like that. He makes the other team.

132
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 3>He makes the other team hate when he comes in.

133
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 3>He's really impressive man and even better person.

134
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 4>So good good ad by the Dodgers. He got a

135
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 4>one of one fastball, and it'll be fun to watch

136
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 4>when he you know.

137
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Is able to if I mean, he doesn't need to

138
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.519
<v Speaker 3>add anything else, but if he does, like it'll be

139
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 3>good for the Dodgers.

140
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

141
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>So, do guys like yourself maybe talk grips with each

142
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>other or talk grips with him.

143
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 4>We're totally different pitchers. You know.

144
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 3>He works on the the induced vertical movement and I'm

145
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 3>more of a lateral than like subvertical.

146
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Guy, so makes sense.

147
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 3>But he's you know, he's you know, approach to guys,

148
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 3>competitive edges and stuff like watching high preps.

149
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 4>He's a great ad to the Dodger clubhouse.

150
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 1>All right, before I let you go, I've been meaning

151
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to ask you this because Joe Kelly was bragging that

152
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 1>he's really good at this finger soccer thing that you

153
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>guys play in the clubhouse. He says he's only been
