WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was a pleasant surprise to come out to

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Stadium and see the cat man Tony Gonsolin, not

3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>only see him talk to him and see him pitch

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>off the mound here at Dodger Stadium and he joins

5
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>us right now, you're alive nine lives.

6
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been a while since the since the Dodgers

7
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>fans have seen me. But it's great to be back

8
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>than this atmosphere, and it's incredible thrown on the game mound.

9
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why I had to throw.

10
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>A bullpen out there, but I'll take it it was.

11
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome being back.

12
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I've heard so many guys say that coming back from rehab,

13
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>where it's just something different about doing it on that mound.

14
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just a completely different feel.

15
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 3>You know.

16
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 2>You get so used to being, you know, in the bullpen,

17
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 2>throwing bullpens out there, and I've been so used to

18
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>throwing bullpens in Arizona or throwing a couple lives now

19
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 2>on the game mounds, and it's just nothing compares to

20
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>what it's like to throwing on the game mound at

21
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium.

22
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>To be a camelback ranch in the middle of summer

23
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>for basically a whole year. That's gotta be a mental

24
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>toll on you.

25
00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it's hot.

26
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>You get a you know, I wouldn't say you get

27
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>used to it, but you just kind of get over it.

28
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 2>You know it's gonna be hot. You know it's gonna

29
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>be hot, and you just gotta drink more water and

30
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>figure out a way to.

31
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Manage and maybe pitch at seven in the morning.

32
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh I wish it was that early. It's still hot

33
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 2>at seven in the morning. It doesn't even matter. But

34
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>uh yeah, just try to avoid the uh early afternoon,

35
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>mid afternoon, uh direct heat and it's a it's okay.

36
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Not only was Tony Gonsolin pitching off the mound here

37
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>at Dodger Stadium, but man, you had quite a crowd

38
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>watching you, including the man that operated on your elbow,

39
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>doctor elatrosh. That means it was big time showtime.

40
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I think that's I mean, that's definitely the

41
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>first time I ela tride to see me throw that close.

42
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 3>But uh, it was cool having.

43
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Him out there and having a little conversation with him

44
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>after about what it looked like, what you saw, and uh,

45
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what we're talking about. And how the how

46
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>the repair plays into the pitches and all that stuff.

47
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>It was.

48
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 1>It was really cool to learn all that I've heard.

49
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>He's more than a surgeon. He actually cares about his patience.

50
00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I definitely agree.

51
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>You know that the times I get to talk to him,

52
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, being stuck in easy, but sometimes I do

53
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>get to talk to him. They've been really good conversations

54
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and very informative on both sides.

55
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd say, Tony Gonsolin is our guest. It's great to

56
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>see him. I was on the phone when you came

57
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>up to me. Man, it is really great to see

58
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that beer, great to see that ponytail, and honestly great

59
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to see you pitch. How is the process going and

60
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you're at that one year mark so we're getting closer.

61
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, about about a week away from that one one

62
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>year mark and definitely getting closer. Throwing three lives now,

63
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>they've been they've gone pretty good. Command isn't quite where

64
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I want it to be yet, although today it was

65
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. Maybe it's something about being back on that now,

66
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>but overall, just just working with the progress, you know,

67
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 2>trying to take things as they come and manage everything,

68
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>manage workload, manage, you know, straining on the arm and

69
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>being cognizant about all of that and just taking my.

70
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Time with it.

71
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>How much have you been following the team? What is

72
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it like being removed from the team but obviously a

73
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 1>part of the organization.

74
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I mean we play. We play every day, right,

75
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>so I usually have the game on. I'm fortunate enough

76
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 2>to have those those afternoons his evenings off and basically

77
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>have the game on anytime I.

78
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Can, so basically every day.

79
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Uh, whether I'm directly watching on a TV or I

80
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 2>got up on my iPad, it's a it's on and

81
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know kind of what's happening.

82
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>How about Gavin Stone have you been watching his season?

83
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>What a remarkable season for a guy that wasn't even

84
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>supposed to make the team out of spring training.

85
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I love watching Stone pitch.

86
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 3>He's very similar to.

87
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Myself, I like to think, but just fastball, change up.

88
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's got his slider now as discussing, Eve

89
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>been working that cutter into it. Just he's looking really

90
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 2>good and I like the the development who's had over

91
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>the course of the year. You know, a rough couple

92
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>first starts and then really settled in and had a

93
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>nice stretch of some really really good ones and then

94
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I've been a little shaky late, but he's gonna bounce back.

95
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 3>How about Kershaw?

96
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a chance to see him in Arizona

97
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 1>during your rehab process?

98
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Saw curch a little bit. He looks good. He looks healthy. Man,

99
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 2>it's really fun. I'd really took it in yesterday, and

100
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, never know what's gonna happen, but love watching

101
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>him pitch every time, and just the way that he competes.

102
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Before I let you go, I can't be insensitive to

103
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the fact your partner in crime, one of your former roommates,

104
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Dustin May, had an unfortunate accident with his esophagus. Have

105
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you had a chance to talk to him. What can

106
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you share with us about how he's doing.

107
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's looking good. I can't share it too much,

108
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>but he's looking good. He uh, you know, super unfortunate.

109
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Lost a lot away from it, and you know he's

110
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 2>just making his way back now.

111
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, just letting him do his thing. But he's okay. Yeah,

112
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 3>he looks He's in good spirits, that's for sure.

113
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>So are you. There's a different twinkle in your eye

114
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously the beginning parts of this process are arduous,

115
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 1>but it feels like you can see the light at

116
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 1>the end of the tunnel right now.

117
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, you know when they map you out

118
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>to get back and just some rehab games.

119
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, feels pretty good.

120
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>But once it got past the first fourish months, it

121
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>was really not too bad.

122
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>So are you saying we might be able to see

123
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>an alert ok see fans or Tulsa fans of Tony

124
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Gonsolin coming back and bringing the cat litter.

125
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I don't want to count it out, you know.

126
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to.

127
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to get back up here if I can.

128
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>But do you want to get too far out of myself?

129
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Just want to take it one day at a time,

130
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>one live at a time, and see how I'm feeling,

131
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>make sure I'm healthy first, and then we'll see where

132
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>we're at.

133
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>That's right. Love it.
