00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>It was a special night at Dodgers Stadium as Dustin

2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>me made his return to a major League mound for

3
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>the first time in nearly two years. And Dustin joins

4
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 1>us right now at Dodger Stadium Number one. Thanks a

5
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>lot for the time, and congratulations on returning and coming

6
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>back from so much adversity.

7
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Thanks, thanks for having me.

8
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 3>It was definitely a huge relief last night, just to

9
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 3>be able to know that I can still get some

10
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 3>big league hitters out and then come out of it

11
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 3>feeling good. So I'm in a good spot today, so

12
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 3>excited for the next one.

13
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>You were skipping off the mound after you struck out

14
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>the Braves in the first inning in order, and then

15
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you came here to the dugout. It seemed like you

16
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>were giving thanks. What were you saying to yourself?

17
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I mean I just said a quick little prayer

18
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 3>and thank the Lord for everything that he has given

19
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>me in the last couple of years, thanking him to

20
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 3>still be here and get the opportunity that I had.

21
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I saw the family and friends that you had in Anaheim.

22
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>How many did you have last night? And what did

23
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it mean to you to have that support?

24
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>It was the same amount.

25
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it was like six itch. I mean it's huge.

26
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean, family support is a is a very big thing.

27
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 3>My dad and grandma weren't able to make it out,

28
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 3>but I know they were there with me in spirit,

29
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>so it was it was very very special. I got

30
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 3>talked to both of them after the game and they

31
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 3>were they were very.

32
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Very excited.

33
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>How did you channel all those emotions the last two

34
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>years and be able to pitch as well as you did.

35
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's been a long build up and a

36
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 3>lot of a lot of mental grind. Just being able

37
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 3>to tell myself that I'm still able to do it

38
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>and still able to get guys out, and I mean

39
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 3>just staying very calm and level headed and being able

40
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>to just move on to the next pitch no matter

41
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 3>what the outcome wants.

42
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You guys are obviously the best at what you do.

43
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But did you have to remind yourself to have fun

44
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 1>out there last night?

45
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 2>No? No, I mean I was.

46
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I was having fun just on my drive in yesterday.

47
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was like a kid in a candy store.

48
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I was.

49
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 3>I was so so happy and excited to just be

50
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 3>back in a big league stadium, active and being able

51
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 3>to contribute to a team win.

52
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Just to me as our guest. All right, since you

53
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>said you have a new life perspective, and rightfully so,

54
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>what would the drive have been two years ago compared

55
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to what it was last night?

56
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean the drive would have been like probably similar,

57
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 3>like loud music, just getting in the moat, like the

58
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 3>swing of things, but just like less anxiousness, like less

59
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 3>like worry about like the outcome like more so now

60
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 3>it's just like I'm doing what I can like no

61
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 3>matter what the outcome is, as long as I'm healthy

62
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>coming out of it or gonna be happy, like it's

63
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm just happy to be here.

64
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>That's so awesome. It's so great that you know you

65
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>have that life perspective. A lot of guys say when

66
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 1>they get married or have kids, that's what changes their

67
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 1>whole outlook on baseball. But yours was a little bit

68
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>more extreme.

69
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Than that, a little bit of a different path there.

70
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 3>But everybody kind of gets in the same spot one

71
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>day or another.

72
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was who after the game last night.

73
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>The first thing he said was they played the wrong

74
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>warm up music.

75
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 3>They did, They sure did. And then I've been waiting

76
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 3>almost two years for it. Because I've been excited for

77
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 3>the song change and they dang screwed it up.

78
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>They screwed it up. But we'll we'll have to get

79
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>it right on the next one, I hope.

80
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Can you give us a sneak peek on what it

81
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to.

82
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Be whenever it comes out, we'll have to hear it.

83
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Right. Sounds good? Hey, before I let you go tonight,

84
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Blake Snell's on the mount. Have you had a chance

85
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to interact with him during spring training and what have

86
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>you noticed about who he is as a teammate.

87
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we talked a little bit.

88
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>We talked on the bench for probably two or three

89
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 3>innings the other night. I mean, I like picking his brain.

90
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's been here for a while. He's easy

91
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 3>to talk to. Definitely a guy who's very approachable and

92
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 3>we'll talk to you about anything.

93
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 1>You feel like the perception of who he was is

94
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>not really now getting to know him what he's really about.

95
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>No, I thought the the envision that I had of him.

96
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Was pretty bought on.

97
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 3>All right.

98
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I feel like people don't realize how smart he is

99
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and as far as the IQ of the game.

100
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, he is. He's very bright in baseball for sure.

101
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>All right. They call it May Day, Today's snails Zilla Day,

102
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Dustin May.

103
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 2>It is, it is. I'm ready, I'm ready and excited

104
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>to watch him.

105
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Thanks a lot, and Man, great to see you on

106
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the Man last night at Dodger Stadium starting a game

107
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>really special and keep it going.

108
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thanks for having me
