00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Game four the NLCS, but Game three was the

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>og Dodgers that delivered for them to get a win.

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>It was Keiky Hernandez, it was Max Munci, and it

4
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>was Walker Buehler. And Walker joins us right now. Thanks

5
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot for the time. And how does it feel

6
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the day after? Oh?

7
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, always excited to win a playoff game, but you know,

8
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 2>we're focused on Game four and trying to get get

9
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to three to one in the series.

10
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Here. I know everybody's talking about the spin, the curveballs,

11
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>but the one thing that I thought was the most

12
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>impressive about what you did last night is how you

13
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>went exclusively from the stretch after Francisco Lindors at bat.

14
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Is that something that even was in the back of

15
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>your mind you might need to do when you were

16
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>warming up.

17
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>No, you never really think about it that way. But

18
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 2>last time, with the temperature and kind of however they

19
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>make the mound here was it was just too hard

20
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 2>and my right foot moves a pretty decent amount in

21
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>the wind up, and so the first three pitches the game,

22
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>my foot was kind of getting a little spurly on me.

23
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>So went to the stretch just so we could put

24
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>it in the same spot every time.

25
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I know, you know the history of the game. I

26
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 1>remember one Dodger pitcher that would go out of the

27
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>stretch whenever he felt like his wind up mechanics were

28
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>a little bit out of balance, and that was Hideo Nomo.

29
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking, obviously, you go over the head, and

30
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe you were trying to simplify your delivery.

31
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 2>No, it was just just because of the weather. I've

32
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>done that on a few occasions, and I have done

33
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>it if I don't like the wind up, but last

34
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>time I was just trying to get the foot in

35
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of the same spot.

36
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I know you watched the game, obviously, Yamamoto on the

37
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>mound tonight. What do you feel like he has to

38
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>do to be able to give the Dodgers at least

39
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>what you gave them last night?

40
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, I think interestings to go be himself. Obviously,

41
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>you know this track record of success in Japan that

42
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>he's had and now here. I think as long as

43
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>he kind of does what he does, he's going to

44
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>be fine.

45
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>I know I always talk about the guys that I've

46
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 1>been here for a while, but I don't think it's

47
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a coincidence. Guys like yourself and KEYK and Munsey, you

48
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 1>guys have had a reputation of delivering in big games.

49
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>How big of an advantage is that for you guys,

50
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>because I know we always talk about the new shiny guys,

51
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's the guys that have been here that have

52
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>been delivering. Yeah.

53
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>I think I think part of it is just that

54
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>we did come up here and you know, kind of

55
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 2>from the jump for my rookie ear, this is kind

56
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 2>of what's expected of us is to go and try

57
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>and win playoffs, series and world series. So you know,

58
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>very fortunate to have the amount of experience that that

59
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>we do in the playoffs and and luckily it's kind

60
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>of paying off for us.

61
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>What is it about key K? I know we always

62
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 1>talk about you, but what is it about Kik that

63
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>seems to click in this month?

64
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's he's a guy that knows how to create momentum, right,

65
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>He's not he's not scared of the moment. And you know,

66
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs in particular about momentum and having guys that

67
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>can create a little bit of a spark. And and

68
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that starts with with not having fear and

69
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 2>and that's something that the key I for sure doesn't.

70
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Have Hey, I was telling people the story yesterday. I

71
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>was on the same bus as you on the way

72
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>to the ballpark, a wild ride, but you had your

73
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>headphones on, and usually when you get on you know

74
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 1>you'll you'll chat it up a little bit. But it

75
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>seemed like you were locked in a lot earlier than

76
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 1>you usually are.

77
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, the buses in New York, particularly the traffic, make

78
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>me a little sick, so I was just trying to

79
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>keep my stomach together.

80
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh me too. If I was gonna hurle, it was

81
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>coming right on your neck.

82
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Ye after the festivities postgame last night at the bus ride,

83
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>today was a little rough for me.

84
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Thanks a lot for the time, Walker, and look, nobody

85
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 1>doubts anything that you guys can do. And looking forward

86
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 1>to a big finish, appreciate it day.

87
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll see you
