WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>It's Game two of the NLCS Dodgers and Mets, and

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>we're joined right now by a man that helped the

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers get some good mojo, good karma to beat the

4
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Padres in Game five. That's number five. No Mare, garciapara,

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>No mar, I feel like you earned your playoffs share already.

6
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I was joking with the guys on set and I said,

7
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 2>that was the first time I ever realized how critical

8
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 2>the ceremonial first pitch was to victories. And then we

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 2>were joking around and they were laughing, but I had

10
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>no part of it.

11
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Really.

12
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how fun is it watching this Dodger team.

13
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>They are incredible To watch the word fight Dave Roberts,

14
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>who is quite often, but it is so fitting. I

15
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>think they showed that it's one thing to say it,

16
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>but it's another thing to see it. I think the

17
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans have all seen that so far, and we're

18
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>excited because that's exactly what it's going to take. And

19
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 2>they have been so entertaining and we should all continue

20
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to be supportive of them, and they're they're taking us

21
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>on an incredible journey right now.

22
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 1>No mar I thought about you last night. You must

23
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 1>have loved the fact the Dodgers scored nine runs without

24
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>hitting a home run and there were two sacrifice bunts

25
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>in the.

26
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Game, Dave, I was so excited. I'm not gonna lie

27
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>on my way over here today. I was actually talking

28
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>with my wife. We were talking and she's traveling. We

29
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>were talking about the game, and I said, first of all,

30
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>what an amazing pitching performance. I mean, just incredible by Flaarty,

31
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Just so fun to watch, so in control of the poise,

32
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 2>the execution was really a joy to watch. And I said,

33
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>then from the offensive side, that was just baseball. It

34
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 2>was just an unbelievably well played baseball game by the Dodgers,

35
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 2>defensively doing all the defensively pitching wise. And then from

36
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>the offense side, I said, the sack bunts, recognizing how

37
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>important ninety feet the clutch hits that they had. I said,

38
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>everything about it. And then it was a quality at

39
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>bat after quality at bat, every single inning, trying to

40
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>find a way to maybe score at least one run.

41
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a great game to watch.

42
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>What do you expect today a day game? Manai has

43
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good. Do you expect that this is going

44
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to go as perfectly as it did for the Dodgers

45
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>in Game four against the Padres.

46
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>We all hope I can't ever doubt these Dodgers again,

47
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>because trust me, I was. I admit, yeah, there was

48
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>even in Game five, I was questioning some of their

49
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>decisions as far as you know yamamotas starting with either

50
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>best choice based on the numbers and based on his

51
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>what history over the course of this season against the Padres.

52
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>But man, he silenced all those critics, which was great

53
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>to see. You know, having a bullpen game, you're going, Okay,

54
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you better hope every single guy coming out of there.

55
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>They did an unbelievable job. So I don't I can't

56
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>doubt him anymore. There's no nor should anybody. Right, Well,

57
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>we wait and see how it happens. But these guys

58
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>are focused, and we've seen that over the course of

59
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>this last series, and I hope that continues today. And

60
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I think these guys are pulling for each other no

61
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>matter if somebody get in trouble, they're going to try

62
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to find a way to pick each other up and

63
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>continue to fight.

64
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I've got to point out that Nomar Garciapara gets overlooked

65
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of different ways about how great of

66
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>a player he was in his place in baseball history.

67
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Nomar was a three twenty one lifetime playoff hitter. That's

68
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>a playoff performer. What does it take Nomar to be

69
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>able to rise to the occasion on this stage.

70
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>It's funny that you say rise. The reason why I

71
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>say that and because I used to say this to

72
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>my team all the time. They go, no more to

73
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. They said, you don't need to rise to anything.

74
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 2>I said, you don't have to be I always say,

75
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to be extraordinary in the playoffs. You

76
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>already are extraordinary. Just be your ordinary self, I said,

77
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 2>just be yourself because we're already here. The reason you

78
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>get to this point, the reason you have played one

79
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty two. You already recognize that one of

80
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the best teams around. After one hundred and sixty two.

81
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of hard to hide that right after that

82
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>many games. So what do we have to do even

83
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>more than that? No, we got to be our ordinary

84
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>selves and recognize that and to be able to be

85
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>in that control. And for me personally, I think I

86
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of success in the postseason, so I

87
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>thought it was so much fun. Like sees show. Hey,

88
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 2>his smile, I'm like, man, he's all right, because that's

89
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>what you're supposed to be doing. I still smile this.

90
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 2>People ask me, do I miss playing? I don't when

91
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>it's postseason. Now I miss it. This there's nothing like

92
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the postseason. It is so much fun. I still smiling

93
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>from ear to ear. And that was my mentality, because

94
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>you know what, what didn't matter for you for four

95
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>or four for four? It really doesn't matter. It doesn't

96
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>matter whether I went three twenty one. It doesn't matter

97
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 2>did we win that day? What did I do? Did

98
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>I move the runner over? We heard about ninety feet?

99
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Does matter in the postseason? Fo Dave Roberts trying to said,

100
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>we've been saying this all along. You can throw all

101
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the analytics, all that, you know, when you have a

102
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of big data, big data sample, okay, you can

103
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 2>make some decisions, some influence, but playoffs isn't about the

104
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>major data. It's about recognizing the moment and recognizing how

105
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 2>ninety feet. Sometimes it's that I had a friend who

106
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>told me she goes, she goes. It's really the competition

107
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 2>for second base. I'm like, man, what an unbelievable quote

108
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 2>and unbelievable observation. As we're discussing about this game and

109
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 2>the intricacies and the importance, I'm like, yeah, a battle

110
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 2>for second base is a great way to put it,

111
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>because ninety feet matters, and how that impacts emotionally, the

112
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>pressure everything about it, from uplifting if you're trying to

113
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 2>knock that guy in to the pressure on the opposing picture.

114
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of little nuances, and I thought in

115
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>yesterday's game we saw that come into play. I think

116
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what made me so excited, because there were so

117
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 2>many other things that came into play in yesterday's game

118
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 2>that the Dodgers did right. So to me, for the postseason,

119
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 2>you have to be focused, but most important, you just

120
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>have to enjoy it, embrace it, and know that everything

121
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you did, everything you have done to this point, was

122
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to be in this moment.

123
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 1>No, Mar, as long as I'm here, nobody will forget

124
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 1>how great you were. I know the fans in Boston

125
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that Boston media shortchanged you, but you were one of

126
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 1>the greatest shortstops and greatest hitters that this game has

127
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. And you did it in the playoffs too,

128
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>So thank you. And I don't take this for granted

129
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>being with you.

130
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I appreciate David. Listen. I didn't do that for

131
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>any recognition. Listen. I'm so lucky, blessed to be able

132
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to play this game. I'm so lucky and blessed to

133
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 2>continue to be able to talk about this beautiful game.

134
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm here and I'm at home, and I'm surrounded

135
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 2>by amazing people. I'm part of an amazing organization. I mean,

136
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>nobody needs to tell me I appreciate it. Nobody needs

137
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 2>to say or anything like that. I don't need any

138
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>of that. I just am lucky. I'm fortunate to be

139
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>a part, a small part of this game that I'm

140
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>so happy that it'll continue on and it's going to

141
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>continue on, and that's what makes it so beautiful.

142
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>That's why Nomar is so great. Siempre suave from Wittier.

143
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Nomar, you got it.

144
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>They've always good to talk to you there.

145
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>He is one of the best players in baseball history.

146
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Nomar Garciapara. You'll see him on sports Net. Laugh of

147
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>the World Series. I said it
