WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>A different uniform, but still a good guy. The one

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.639
<v Speaker 1>and only Kyle Farmer is back at Dodger Stadium.

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Great to see you and great to see a smile

4
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 2>on your faith.

5
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Thanks, glad to be here.

6
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 3>It's I've had quite a few uniforms since I've last

7
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 3>played here, so it's been good.

8
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>But we've remained consistent. I come see you no matter

9
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>who you're playing for.

10
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 4>If you don't, I'll be really upset.

11
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Twins, Reds, Now Rockies.

12
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 4>That's right. Yeah, I love Denver. It's great. It's been

13
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fun so far.

14
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>What's been the key to your personal success to start

15
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the year.

16
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh, that's a good question.

17
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 3>I may have swing changed a little bit this offseason,

18
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 3>but honestly, I'm thirty four now and not sure how

19
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 3>much longer I'm gonna be able to play. So I'm

20
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 3>just kind of enjoying every moment right now and just

21
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 3>kind of taking everything in and enjoin it.

22
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.359
<v Speaker 1>When you look at your journey, everybody talks about that.

23
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I know you're in the moment still and still excelling.

24
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>But what do you appreciate the most about the road

25
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>of your major league career?

26
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Man, just the patience that a lot of coaching

27
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 3>stuff has had with me at different teams. I think

28
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 3>you don't get to where you are without some help,

29
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 3>and I've had a lot of good help on my

30
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>way with the Dodgers, the Reds, the Twins, a lot

31
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>of guys who have patience with me and has helped.

32
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 4>Me out a lot.

33
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of the Dodgers, I'll never forget your greatest Dodger moment,

34
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a walk off hit against the San Francisco Giants on

35
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Night baseball. Your jersey got shredded that night. I

36
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>still remember that. Do you still have the jersey?

37
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 3>It's actually I think it's supposed to be here in

38
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 3>Dodger Stadium.

39
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 4>I believe.

40
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they took it from me, so I don't have it.

41
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 3>It was drenched in red power aide. Quigue was giving

42
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>me a good drag around the infield. Barnes was punched

43
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 3>me in the gut, Woody was tackling.

44
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 4>It was a lot of fun. I think it's still here.

45
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 4>I think in like the it was like.

46
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 3>The first walk off double one Dodger history since like

47
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 3>eighteen hundred or something like that.

48
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure we got to refine that jersey.

49
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, please find it and send me a picture.

50
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll get it for you directly.

51
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 4>If you get it from me, I owe you a

52
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 4>big one.

53
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 2>That's where your roots started with the Dodgers.

54
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Who helped Kyle Farmer the most in the Dodger organization Travis.

55
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 4>Barbary really yeah.

56
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 3>He was our catching coordinator when I got drafted, and

57
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 3>then you know it was Travis and probably Trammell Sledge

58
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 3>as well. He was our double A hitting coach at

59
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 3>the time in Tulsa.

60
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 4>For my third year, and so I.

61
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Gotta give a lot of credit to Sledge. Well, God,

62
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 3>there's another one, Bill Hasselman too. Bill Hassman was great.

63
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 3>He had a lot of patience from me too.

64
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Even though you're not catching anymore, do you still see

65
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the game as a catcher?

66
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 4>Would? Sure? Yeah?

67
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean I think once you become a catcher, you

68
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>think of the game differently. And it opened my eyes

69
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 3>to something I didn't know about in college and high

70
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 3>school and stuff. And I'm very fortunate that I was

71
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 3>able to go through that whole stage.

72
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>One of the good guys, Kyle Farmer is joining us.

73
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Before first pitch at Dodgers Stadium, you mentioned Woody that's

74
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>our guy, Alex Wood. Where's Alex Wood these days? Is

75
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>he taking baby reveal pictures?

76
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

77
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>I think if you look on Instagram, he's been modeling

78
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 3>quite a few times. So yeah, he's having his second baby.

79
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 3>We're excited for him.

80
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I think he's just looking for his job.

81
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 3>I miss what he loved. But he definitely looks good

82
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 3>on the camera.

83
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>You could actually validate this.

84
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 1>He may not have the same talent as Clayton Kershaw,

85
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>but do you feel like he's just as competitive as Kershaw?

86
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 4>I think so yeah.

87
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's no one like Clayton but Woody. When

88
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 3>he gets on that mound, he's very competitive and that's

89
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 3>why he was good.

90
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 4>For so long.

91
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>You hear that Georgia twaying in his voice. He's been

92
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 1>to many different teams. Do you sound like a Georgia guy?

93
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>I am a Georgia Yeah. So what happened to your

94
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>football team this year?

95
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 4>We're not gonna talk about it.

96
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 3>We had a little quarterback issue. Decided to go to

97
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 3>Miami and do some other things. So hopefully we turn

98
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>around this year.

99
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>So it is the LLC of Kyle Farmer and Alex Wood.

100
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Now a big donor the nil donor to the Georgia Bulldogs.

101
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 3>I love my bulldogs, but I will not be giving

102
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 3>any money to a college student.

103
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Are you still having aspirations of being a broadcaster when

104
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>you're done playing.

105
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna A

106
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys want me to manage. A lot of

107
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 3>people want me to broadcast. I think i'd be a

108
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 3>good manager. I think i'd also be a good broadcaster.

109
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>So I think you gotta have a little Southern twaying

110
00:03:58.439 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 3>on the broadcasts sometimes.

111
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Well that would be great either way, but just don't

112
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>ask for anybody's phone number.

113
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>You're a married man.

114
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna That was an Atlanta brave guy too.

115
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 3>We don't.

116
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 4>We don't claim it.

117
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Hey, before I let you go. Jackie Robinson Day at

118

119
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 4>That was really cool? It was my second time doing it.

120
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I was here with the Reds uh when we did it,

121
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 3>and then, Uh, it's really cool.

122
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean having Doc out there talking was was awesome.

123
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I'll let you go. I know, yeah, you're

124
