It's a real examination. It's like being in 59 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.919 the desert for forty days and forty nights grinding through rehab. 60 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:46.759 Walker Buehlers told me about it. 61 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.280 Yeah, I mean, I love Phoenix is a beautiful area 62 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.960 of beautiful town. I mean, so that part will be nice, 63 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.280 but you know, I'll definitely miss being on the mound pitching, 64 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.360 being a competitor in that aspect of it. But just 65 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:00.879 found new hob for this. 66 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.400 This year, I guess, I mean being such a competitor, right, 67 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.319 you have to find a way to turn rehab into 68 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:07.960 a competition, I would imagine. 69 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.479 Yeah, that's that's probably the hardest part, is is there 70 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.759 not being any like sort of competition in that aspect 71 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.520 of like pitching in a big league game, So that'll 72 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.639 be tough, and you know, the adrenaline that that we 73 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.639 all thrown for and just find the new ways to 74 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.560 find that throughout this year and and you know, staying 75 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.159 positive is a big thing and keep the momenttal good. 76 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.199 So yeah, looking forward to just you know, getting through 77 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.240 it and getting back on the mound. 78 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.400 When you look back at your great rookie season, obviously 79 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.759 disappointing that you couldn't be part of October, but you 80 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.840 were such a big part to help the Dodgers get there. 81 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.000 Was there one game? Was it Chicago? Was it the 82 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.840 complete game? Is there moments in time that you think 83 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.080 back and say, man, that's when I arrived? 84 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.360 Uh yeah, maybe I think just you know, being in 85 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.879 a clubhouse with a bunch of veterans like we had 86 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.120 and and learning from them, learning and watching and and 87 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.919 you know, just having them there and helped me along 88 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.759 the way. But Chicago was a big one, really definitely 89 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.520 a confidence boost there. And then had a little downstretch 90 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.520 through or after the All Star break and curse was 91 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.599 kind of the one to kind of put me back. 92 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.280 Cursing Barnes kind of help helped me like get back 93 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.079 on track after that, and so you know, credit to 94 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.360 those guys in the clubhouse, they really they really help 95 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.040 each other and help everybody around him. 96 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.160 Gavin Stone is joining us here at Dodger Fast on 97 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.160 m five seventy LA Sports and I'm glad you brought 98 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.279 up Kershaw because he really took an interest in you. 99 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.360 How much did he help you? And I guess that 100 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.079 says a lot about you for him to even want 101 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:38.639 to help you. 102 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.920 Yeah, I mean just figuring out what kind of competitor 103 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.360 he was and then trying to be trying to replicate 104 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:44.000 that on the mound. 105 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:44.800 I think that was the. 106 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.160 Biggest thing, you know, in all aspects of it, in 107 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.399 the weight room, on the mound, you know, eating with 108 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.399 his family, like he's he's a great dude overall and 109 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.000 at all aspects, and he's a great competitor, and so 110 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.360 just learning how how he goes out there and competes 111 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.920 every day and and and trying to replicate that. 112 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.879 When you saw Walker Buehler come out of the bullpen 113 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.800 in Game five of the World Series, what was Gavin 114 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:07.480 Stone thinking. 115 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.879 I knew he was going to go in as soon 116 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.319 as I saw him walk down there, I knew he 117 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.079 was going to go in. We didn't have a lot 118 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.399 of arms to begin with, and I mean he was 119 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.639 he was pretty much he was good to go. That 120 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.560 was the last game of the year, and so he 121 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.519 was on a couple of days' rest, I think, more 122 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.360 than what we had in the bullpen at the time. 123 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.199 So I knew that if it was closed, then he 124 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.800 was definitely gonna get his shot, and that's that's what 125 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.879 he lives for, and I'm glad he got that shot. 126 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.439 Were you in the dugout that night in Game five? 127 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:34.879 Yeah? 128 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.920 Yeah, I was, And I was in the dugout and 129 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.399 watched him run down. I don't even think Mark knew 130 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.759 he ran down at that time, but yeah. 131 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.480 Did he tip any of you guys off that he 132 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:44.120 was doing it. 133 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.560 No, I just seen him walk behind me because I 134 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:47.800 was on the rail and I just saw him walk 135 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.319 behind me with the spikes on his glove, and you 136 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:50.879 just took. 137 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.800 Off when you see a guy like that do what 138 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.480 he did and you saw the result winning the World Series. 139 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.000 Did you visualize Gavin Stone one day being that guy? 140 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.800 Would you love to be that guy in that situation? 141 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.920 Oh? I think everybody, everybody that loves baseball and wants 142 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.240 to be a competitor, would thrive in that situation and 143 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.079 love to be put in that situation, but Walker's a 144 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.279 different animal, and to succeed in that situation, and and 145 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.279 just to know how much he has succeeded in the postseason, 146 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.199 especially the World Series. He was the right man for 147 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.120 that job. And that was really cool that he got 148 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:24.600 that moment. 149 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.199 Man so cool because he's meant so much to the 150 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.800 Dodgers and if that's going to be the last image, 151 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.079 I mean, that's what a way to go out, right.

Always loved talking to Gavin 255 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.240 and what an ultimate competitor he was for the Dodgers 256 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.080 with all their pitching injuries to their veterans last year, 257 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:11.159 it was the rookie that made more starts and pitched 258 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.039 more innings than any other Dodger last year, and that 259 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.679 was Gavin Stone. And that will be. One of the 260 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.759 highlights of twenty twenty four's regular season was Gavin Stone 261 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.759 pitching that complete game shutout. And one thing I'll never 262 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.799 forget is that Gavin Stone wants me to celebrate his 263 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.559 half birthday, and that he's a guy that promotes his 264 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.720 birthday on February first, which is going to be on 265 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.440 October fifteenth.

I said, who would have guessed 297 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.360 that October fifteenth? 298 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:55.960 Huh?

By the way, October fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight, 300 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.279 was the day Kirk Gibson hit his walk off home 301 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.519 run the world. 302 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.240 Now, I understand why you brought up Gavin Stone's birthday. Well, 303 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.919 you're good at this. 304 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.159 This was lined up perfectly. It was meant to be, 305 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.080 like Freddie Freeman was meant to be at the plate 306 00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:15.519 that night, in that moment. 307 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.120 Yeah, so let me to talk about it. 308 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.279 I'm nervous so that's why I brought I felt like 309 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.240 Chris Farley here, just like you know, I feel like 310 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.080 I'm more emotional about October. 311 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.600 I didn't October, No, it wasn't. 312 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.200 But that's when Gibson hit his. Yours was a different date. 313 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.799 You hit it in the same same area. I heard 314 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:35.720 it was like the same time. 315 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.320 Yeah, they might put like a blue seat where you 316 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.679 hit it, like where they did for Kirk Gibson. Cool 317 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.720 it would, Yeah, it will live in infamy. 318 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.759 Yeah, I've thought about it every day pretty much. 319 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.679 I mean, when you go to the grocery store, what's 320 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:49.960 it like. 321 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.120 I really can't go anywhere right now, which is which 322 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.919 is fun because you know that sports in general can 323 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.360 it just means so much to some two people. And 324 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.559 obviously as I'm out in the community and I don't 325 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.240 think I've made it through one outing without someone coming 326 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.360 up to me, which is really cool that people care 327 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.720 so much and care about the Dodgers. And and with 328 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.159 that home run, I just did a luncheon and there's 329 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.360 a guy that had a tattoo of me on his leg. 330 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.440 So geez, that's when you know it means something. 331 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.799 Yeah, and then obviously a lot of other people were 332 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.440 coming up at the luncheon saying how much that home 333 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.320 run meant and the world series and telling us where 334 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.799 it was. One guy was there for Kurt Gibson's home run. 335 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.600 So it's to hear people like like when you do 336 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.200 it and you're out there and then you go home 337 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:40.519 and you got to get ready for the next game. 338 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.600 But then I've told people like about a month ago, 339 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.000 Charlie and I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube 340 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.840 because he wanted and with YouTube, right, yeah, and just 341 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:54.360 to see all the reactions and how it affected people 342 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.840 in such a positive way. It's it does bring chills 343 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.000 to you. And to be able to be a part 344 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.759 to that and to deliver because I mean just and 345 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:08.240 how like I watched the video later on and how 346 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.799 they panned out over the stadium Joe Davis is talking, 347 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.480 and how the whole thing was set up. It it's 348 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.519 like giving me kind of goosebumps right now when you 349 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.279 when you look back at it and think about it, 350 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.120 and to be able to come through in those kind 351 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.039 of moments, I mean, that's what you dream about, you know, 352 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.120 just like how Joe said, it is what you think 353 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.720 about in backyards. I mean it's the same thing that 354 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.799 I was doing with my two brothers when we were 355 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.240 playing woofot balls in our front yard. Our backyard wasn't 356 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.519 pick enough what we did in the front yard, and 357 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.679 and and for it to happen again, like but in 358 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.559 a big League game thirty years later, when I was 359 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.240 playing woofotball with my brothers, it's it's incredible. And like 360 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.120 Joe Davis and how he set that whole thing up 361 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.919 was you know, obviously I didn't know anything about it 362 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.080 until I watched it and I was like, wow, you know, 363 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.639 Joe was incredible and to hit it on the head 364 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.320 and then after he sets the whole thing up to 365 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.120 do it on the first pitch, it was like, I 366 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.759 think that made it that, you know, Like, I mean, 367 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:03.879 it would have been awesome if it was like the 368 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.320 twelfth pick too, but after he set that up to 369 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.480 happen immediately, that's But Yeah, the grocery store things kind 370 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.480 of out. Yeah, I don't really try. 371 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.519 Hey, you're out of going to the grocery store. 372 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.960 I've been out of a lot of things with the surgery, 373 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.519 so but yeah, I believe me, I think I have 374 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.600 when I'm out.
