00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's great to see you, and I love having

10
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you on the road trip.

11
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I know.

12
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts also said this, You're a great teammate because

13
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>even though you're not able to pitch, you're still engaged

14
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 1>in that dugout.

15
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

16
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 3>I definitely love being here and and love supporting the guys.

17
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 3>And it's good, you know, gonna watch the game, get

18
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 3>to learn, get to see you know, successes, failures, and

19
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 3>then talk to his team mates and trying to help

20
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 3>them if I can, and if if that's some that

21
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 3>you know they trust me with, but if not, just

22
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 3>there for a voice or reason.

23
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 1>It was so early, even at Dodger FanFest, when you

24
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 1>were singing the praises of Hey song Kim. Now he's

25
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>getting his chance. I don't think you ever doubted this

26
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 1>guy could play.

27
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I mean he's faster than I thought. His

28
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 3>defense got a lot better from spring till now, and

29
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 3>his hitting is actually better from springtille now, so there's

30
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 3>been a lot of improvement from him, which has been

31
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 3>excited to see. I'm excited to see, you know, his

32
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 3>journey through the next month and and seeing you know,

33
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 3>how how that goes, how he handles it, if he succeeds,

34
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 3>if he fails, the gams very difficult. So you don't

35
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 3>really know what's going to happen, but you know right

36
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 3>now watching him play, it's been a lot of fun

37
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 3>and his energy is always happy. He's always excited about

38
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 3>every day. So you know, that's really good to see.

39
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that the biggest thing in Major League Baseball? A

40
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys can do it for two or three games,

41
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe a week, but consistency, no matter what you're doing,

42
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>seems to be the biggest thing.

43
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's how you handle failure because it's coming, and

44
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 3>it's however you handle it is what's the most important.

45
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 3>If I think failure is a good thing, and if

46
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 3>you look at it that way, it's gonna it's it's

47
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 3>preparing you to be a better version of you, and

48
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 3>you got to go through it to to really see

49
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 3>that other side of you. I think there's a lot

50
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>of good from it. But if you just go through

51
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 3>the failure and you live in that moment and you're

52
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 3>upset and frustrated and oh, I say, and you start

53
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>believing that, then you'll be out of league pretty quick.

54
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Blake Snell on snell Zilla's Saturday is our guest. Where

55
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>are you at as far as your progress to getting back?

56
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm gonna be throwing here shortly, so we'll see.

57
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 3>We're just taking the day, my day going slow, but

58
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 3>we should know soon. So once once I feel one

59
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>hundred healthy, ready to go, that's the plan and then

60
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>we'll see from there.

61
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>You feel like you're moving in the right direction.

62
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, every day, you know, some days I feel a

63
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 3>little worse than the others. This is the longest I've

64
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 3>been on the IL forever, so it's been frustrating and

65
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 3>difficult to go through.

66
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>But I like being on the road trip.

67
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 3>I like being able to, you know, support the teammates

68
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 3>and and more so just be selfless, stop worrying about

69
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 3>myself and start wearing about the team. It's just really

70
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 3>helped me mentally, just you know, focus on day by

71
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 3>day and when it's my time, it will be my time,

72
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>But right now it's not, and I got to accept

73
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 3>that and focus on rehab, get as strong and healthy

74
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 3>as I can get. Then when it's my time, I'll

75
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 3>be ready to go.

76
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey Blake, I know you face Freddie Freeman a lot

77
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>in your career, but now seeing him play every day,

78
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 1>do you have a greater appreciation of who he is

79
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>as a baseball player.

80
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, I definitely do. He's he's better than I thought.

81
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 3>How just like his consistency, his work. I think everything

82
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 3>he does is just consistent. Same guy every day, doing

83
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>the same thing, same approach, same intent. It makes sense, guys,

84
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, as good.

85
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 2>As he is.

86
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>What about seeing Otani only guy in baseball right now

87
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 1>with ten home runs and ten stolen bases?

88
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's going up for sure.

89
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean, yeah, he's Good's all right? Yeah, you know,

90
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 3>it's just like he was he was high cold. You know,

91
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 3>it's I'm excited once we get, you know, halfway through

92
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>the season, and you know you see the ups and

93
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>the downs and how.

94
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>They handle it.

95
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 3>But you know, he's even when he's down, like you

96
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 3>don't even know that. So that's what's pretty impressive, is

97
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 3>you know his downs aren't even downs, so to watch him.

98
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 3>He's getting hot, he's heating up, he's playing good ball.

99
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 3>I know he likes Marlin's Ballpark as we saw, but yeah,

100
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited to see him continue to continue to grow

101
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 3>and get better.

102
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Snell Zilla Blake Snell is our guest before I let

103
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you go. You have the most random connections with random people.

104
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Mark Ingram in Florida, first day at Marlin's Park. He's

105
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>your guest on the field. How the heck do you

106
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>know a running back as great as mark Ingram.

107
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I want to say random, I would say good people

108
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>know good people. You know what I'm saying.

109
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just so random to you, it's random to me.

110
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>It's normal.

111
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Who else is gonna pop out Bradley Cooper one day.

112
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>If you want?

113
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean good people, you know. I'm just I

114
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 3>like to be around good people that have, you know,

115
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 3>done pretty amazing things, and I like to pick their

116
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 3>brain on what they did to be you know, a

117
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Heisman winner, or have a successful career like he did,

118
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 3>or you know, just anything. But I like being around

119
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 3>people that have accomplished things and ask questions and I

120
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 3>find ways to meet people and just you know, find

121
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 3>ways to get better.

122
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I see that every day. You're smarter than people think

123

00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm quiet. You know, people don't know much.
