WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, if there's one man that knows the charm of

2
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:06.639
<v Speaker 1>the Oakland Coliseum, it's current Dodger super reliever and former

3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Oakland a super reliever now with a great blonde mustache,

4
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the one and only Blake Tryning. Great to be back

5
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>out here at the Oakland Coliseum with you.

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Thanks man. Yeah, it's good to be back. A lot

7
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>of memories here.

8
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 1>You're one of the few people that I would expect

9
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>to say it's good to be back here.

10
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 3>What's the charm of the stadium.

11
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, the charm of the stadium is the people think

12
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>anywhere you go in life, you can have all the

13
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 2>greatest things, the finest things in life. And as long

14
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>as I mean, if you don't have good people involved,

15
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>then it's it's all fleeting and it's and it sucks.

16
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 2>So like, I mean, this is an old stadium. It

17
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>has history to it. Yeah you can talk about how

18
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 2>old it is and yeah it's old, but you know,

19
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of things people were talking

20
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 2>about when we got here is like how how great

21
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>the playing surface looks. I mean, look at it. It's

22
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 2>like it's like a it's honestly like a painting in

23
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 2>the outfield. It looks so green and it's thick, and

24
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>there's really I mean, they have nothing else here to

25
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>worry about it anymore of a baseball and I mean,

26
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it to the grave. I think it's the thickest,

27
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>best looking playing surface. But the you know, the stadium

28
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>itself is old. A lot of great people, you know,

29
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 2>within the halls of this building that I got to

30
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>know over the years, and some of the coaching staff

31
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>is still here. So a lot of a lot of

32
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>good people, a lot of good memories.

33
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like it builds character when you have this stadium,

34
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>these amenities, but you have the people that care.

35
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean I think

36
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>character is more of an internal process, you know. But yeah,

37
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's some there's some good teams. Here's you know,

38
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>winning obviously makes things fun and some of the pretty

39
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 2>much all the talent that was here in the years

40
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>that I was here about six years ago has gone

41
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 2>on other teams now.

42
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Know.

43
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>When we were all together, we were having a blast,

44
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>and it was as a type of baseball that I've

45
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>never experienced before and haven't experienced since, just like the

46
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers or something I've experienced that's like nothing I've ever

47
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>experienced because we in a world series together. So but

48
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean we were. When I was here, it was

49
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, a group of guys who were young and

50
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>impressionable and had phenomenal skill sets. But you know they

51
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>weren't expected to win. But they've won all the way

52
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>through the minors together, and you know, I got to

53
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>reap the benefits of the talent on the field. I mean,

54
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the defensive play and the offensive output was pretty incredible.

55
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>There's a certain level of mystique around here because obviously

56
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>they made the movie Moneyball, Billy Bean all that. What

57
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>is it about playing for them that seems to uncover

58
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>talent like yourself and others?

59
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think there's a belief system behind their players.

60
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, every organization will say they believe I've been

61
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>fortunate to play in a couple now. And you know

62
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>when I came here, the the mo on me was

63
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't get left these out, and they said, we

64
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>think you can sol go do it and it worked out.

65
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>So everybody that I think, when you have a team

66
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>in an organization that pulls for you and you have a

67
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>very selfless mind, said to just do what's best for

68
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>the team. At the end of the year, things work

69
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>out best for you and your organization. So we had

70
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of selfless guys on that team, and that's

71
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>probably why they outperformed what baseball minds would say their

72
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>capabilities a year or two before him.

73
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to Blake trying in on the field at

74
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>the Oakland Coliseum. He's got a cup of coffee in

75
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 1>his left hand and he's got his glove in his

76
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 1>right hand.

77
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Picture, come on, Bob Ross.

78
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 1>And also you have this brand new anchor man Will

79
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Ferrell type of mustache going right now.

80
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>To Blake trying to mustache.

81
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>What is going on with the mustache?

82
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It actually has it looks good on your face.

83
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Actually, thank you for the beautiful poetry of words you

84
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>put together. The Yeah, it's it's I know it's not

85
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>an ideal statement for a lot of people. I've handled

86
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>it a couple of times in my life. And you know,

87
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 2>my my family will be away from you for a while,

88
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 2>so I have I have the the okaytcha by by

89
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>default because my wife's not here to actually grow mustache.

90
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna growing up.

91
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

92
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>So when you kiss the kids, they don't feel the

93
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>rough and gruff of that facial hair.

94
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean they think it's funny. My kids think

95
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>it's funny. My wife hates it so but you know

96
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>it's it's just inside jokes. She doesn't really care for

97
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 2>the beard or the mustache. So when she's not around,

98
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>I've I've got like full rain to let it. Let

99
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>it do what I want.

100
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll leave good feelings right there. Great to

101
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>catch up with you and.

102
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh, your favorite part of the stadium.

103
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I am a Raider fan, so I have a

104
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of great memories of rich Gannon here.

105
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Everybody has their flauls. I'm a rich Gannon fan. I

106
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>was a heartbreak to see him leave the Chiefs and

107
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 2>then go in a Super Bowl the following year, So

108
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>that was tough.

109
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, rich Gannon looked a lot better in silver and black.

110
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>All let's agree to disagree on that.

111
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Sure, we won too straight, we'll figure it out.

112
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 3>Goka City, Oh boy, there he goes my guy Blake.

113
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>And when you see him wearing number forty nine and

114
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 1>you see a guy with a blonde mustache coming out

115
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Dodger bullpen, don't think twice.

116
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 3>It is Blake.

117
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Trenning not to be confused with Evan Phillips. I got

118
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>confused with Evan Phillips yesterday with a mustache while he

119
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>was warming up on the mountain.

120
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I was great to catch up with you and great

121
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 3>to be with a former A Hey.

122
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Dave.
