Speaker 1: A different uniform, but still a good guy. The one
Speaker 1: and only Kyle Farmer is back at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: Great to see you and great to see a smile
Speaker 2: on your faith.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Thanks, glad to be here.
Speaker 3: It's I've had quite a few uniforms since I've last
Speaker 3: played here, so it's been good.
Speaker 1: But we've remained consistent. I come see you no matter
Speaker 1: who you're playing for.
Speaker 4: If you don't, I'll be really upset.
Speaker 2: Twins, Reds, Now Rockies.
Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, I love Denver. It's great. It's been
Speaker 4: a lot of fun so far.
Speaker 2: What's been the key to your personal success to start
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 3: I may have swing changed a little bit this offseason,
Speaker 3: but honestly, I'm thirty four now and not sure how
Speaker 3: much longer I'm gonna be able to play. So I'm
Speaker 3: just kind of enjoying every moment right now and just
Speaker 3: kind of taking everything in and enjoin it.
Speaker 1: When you look at your journey, everybody talks about that.
Speaker 1: I know you're in the moment still and still excelling.
Speaker 1: But what do you appreciate the most about the road
Speaker 1: of your major league career?
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, just the patience that a lot of coaching
Speaker 3: stuff has had with me at different teams. I think
Speaker 3: you don't get to where you are without some help,
Speaker 3: and I've had a lot of good help on my
Speaker 3: way with the Dodgers, the Reds, the Twins, a lot
Speaker 3: of guys who have patience with me and has helped.
Speaker 4: Me out a lot.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Dodgers, I'll never forget your greatest Dodger moment,
Speaker 1: a walk off hit against the San Francisco Giants on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night baseball. Your jersey got shredded that night. I
Speaker 1: still remember that. Do you still have the jersey?
Speaker 3: It's actually I think it's supposed to be here in
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4: I believe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they took it from me, so I don't have it.
Speaker 3: It was drenched in red power aide. Quigue was giving
Speaker 3: me a good drag around the infield. Barnes was punched
Speaker 3: me in the gut, Woody was tackling.
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun. I think it's still here.
Speaker 4: I think in like the it was like.
Speaker 3: The first walk off double one Dodger history since like
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred or something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we got to refine that jersey.
Speaker 4: Yeah, please find it and send me a picture.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll get it for you directly.
Speaker 4: If you get it from me, I owe you a
Speaker 4: big one.
Speaker 2: That's where your roots started with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Who helped Kyle Farmer the most in the Dodger organization Travis.
Speaker 4: Barbary really yeah.
Speaker 3: He was our catching coordinator when I got drafted, and
Speaker 3: then you know it was Travis and probably Trammell Sledge
Speaker 3: as well. He was our double A hitting coach at
Speaker 3: the time in Tulsa.
Speaker 4: For my third year, and so I.
Speaker 3: Gotta give a lot of credit to Sledge. Well, God,
Speaker 3: there's another one, Bill Hasselman too. Bill Hassman was great.
Speaker 3: He had a lot of patience from me too.
Speaker 1: Even though you're not catching anymore, do you still see
Speaker 1: the game as a catcher?
Speaker 4: Would? Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean I think once you become a catcher, you
Speaker 3: think of the game differently. And it opened my eyes
Speaker 3: to something I didn't know about in college and high
Speaker 3: school and stuff. And I'm very fortunate that I was
Speaker 3: able to go through that whole stage.
Speaker 1: One of the good guys, Kyle Farmer is joining us.
Speaker 1: Before first pitch at Dodgers Stadium, you mentioned Woody that's
Speaker 1: our guy, Alex Wood. Where's Alex Wood these days? Is
Speaker 1: he taking baby reveal pictures?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 3: I think if you look on Instagram, he's been modeling
Speaker 3: quite a few times. So yeah, he's having his second baby.
Speaker 3: We're excited for him.
Speaker 4: I think he's just looking for his job.
Speaker 3: I miss what he loved. But he definitely looks good
Speaker 3: on the camera.
Speaker 2: You could actually validate this.
Speaker 1: He may not have the same talent as Clayton Kershaw,
Speaker 1: but do you feel like he's just as competitive as Kershaw?
Speaker 4: I think so yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean there's no one like Clayton but Woody. When
Speaker 3: he gets on that mound, he's very competitive and that's
Speaker 3: why he was good.
Speaker 4: For so long.
Speaker 1: You hear that Georgia twaying in his voice. He's been
Speaker 1: to many different teams. Do you sound like a Georgia guy?
Speaker 1: I am a Georgia Yeah. So what happened to your
Speaker 1: football team this year?
Speaker 4: We're not gonna talk about it.
Speaker 3: We had a little quarterback issue. Decided to go to
Speaker 3: Miami and do some other things. So hopefully we turn
Speaker 3: around this year.
Speaker 1: So it is the LLC of Kyle Farmer and Alex Wood.

Speaker 3: I love my bulldogs, but I will not be giving

Speaker 1: Are you still having aspirations of being a broadcaster when
Speaker 1: you're done playing.
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna A
Speaker 3: lot of guys want me to manage. A lot of
Speaker 3: people want me to broadcast. I think i'd be a
Speaker 3: good manager. I think i'd also be a good broadcaster.
Speaker 3: So I think you gotta have a little Southern twaying
Speaker 3: on the broadcasts sometimes.
Speaker 1: Well that would be great either way, but just don't
Speaker 1: ask for anybody's phone number.
Speaker 2: You're a married man.
