00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers have even up this series and are forcing

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>a game five after an eight nothing shut out win.

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And we're joined right now by Gavin Lux who had

4
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.759
<v Speaker 1>a big game. Gavin, just describe the feelings that were

5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>inside that clubhouse before the game and the statement you

6
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>made to each other.

7
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, you know, throughout the day, everyone's calme.

8
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, we got our group chat going throughout last

9
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 2>night and just encouraging everybody, you know, like, let's move on.

10
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>We got this and got a chance to win this

11
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 2>one to go back home, and you know, I think

12
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot of intensity early and Mookie to

13
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>get us going hit a solo shot, he goes, we goes,

14
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and he's been phenomenal and up and down the lineup

15
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>a ton of hits, a ton of good at bats,

16
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and the bullpen did an unbelievable job.

17
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>When you have a bullpen game like this, how important

18
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>was it for you guys to score not only early,

19
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>but to put a crooked number up.

20
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, you know, it just makes everybody feel

21
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more comfortable. Obviously, you know, anything can

22
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 2>happen in the playoffs, but just to have that little

23
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 2>bit of cushion where you know, you can just kind

24
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>of go out and play baseball, and pitchers can come

25
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>in and feel pretty relaxed. And I think, you know,

26
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>it always just ups to get an early lead like that,

27
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and but even if it was a close game, you know,

28
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>we trust every single guy down on that pen to

29
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>come in and shut it out, and that's exactly what

30
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>they did.

31
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Can you describe the feeling when you hit that laser

32
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>of a two run home run off the lefty Peralta?

33
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>What were you thinking there to be so aggressive early?

34
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>I think just trying to see a pitch up.

35
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's sicker change up guys, so seeing anything

36
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>up in the zone and ready to go from there,

37
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>and you know, especially guy in scoring position, just ready

38
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to go early.

39
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>How about this guy, mooky bets, there's gonna be a

40
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>game five? There's gonna be a game five?

41
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 3>Mooky bets, Yes, there there is, and uh I'll be

42
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 3>locked and loaded.

43
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you were ready for tonight. How important was it

44
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 1>for you guys to be able to get an early

45
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>lead and to get a crooked number up there?

46
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's huge. Playing downhill is always a lot easier,

47
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, but you know, we just we'll do whatever

48
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 3>it takes. Man, this team we fight. We fight to

49
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 3>the end, and we got another game.

50
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to worry about anybody else. But what

51
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>was the statement made to each other to come out

52
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and play the way you guys did tonight?

53
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just to keep playing, keep going. I mean

54
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>we had Freddie out, Miggy out, and the guys were like,

55
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 3>it didn't matter, next guy up. We're ready to go.

56
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, and obviously, uh, we we had to take

57
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>care of business. And you know, I'm I'm just glad

58
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I was able to help us.

59
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.400

60

61
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of games, and you're gonna keep it going.

62
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Game five, Mookie, Absolutely, yeah, I'm ready to go. I mean,

63
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 3>this is uh, this is kind of stuff we dream about.

64
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I know it's not the World Series yet, but you know,

65
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>game five, elimination games, this is what makes it fun.
