Speaker 1: The Dodgers have even up this series and are forcing
Speaker 1: a game five after an eight nothing shut out win.
Speaker 1: And we're joined right now by Gavin Lux who had
Speaker 1: a big game. Gavin, just describe the feelings that were
Speaker 1: inside that clubhouse before the game and the statement you
Speaker 1: made to each other.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, you know, throughout the day, everyone's calme.
Speaker 2: You know, we got our group chat going throughout last
Speaker 2: night and just encouraging everybody, you know, like, let's move on.
Speaker 2: We got this and got a chance to win this
Speaker 2: one to go back home, and you know, I think
Speaker 2: there was a lot of intensity early and Mookie to
Speaker 2: get us going hit a solo shot, he goes, we goes,
Speaker 2: and he's been phenomenal and up and down the lineup
Speaker 2: a ton of hits, a ton of good at bats,
Speaker 2: and the bullpen did an unbelievable job.
Speaker 1: When you have a bullpen game like this, how important
Speaker 1: was it for you guys to score not only early,
Speaker 1: but to put a crooked number up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, it just makes everybody feel
Speaker 2: a little bit more comfortable. Obviously, you know, anything can
Speaker 2: happen in the playoffs, but just to have that little
Speaker 2: bit of cushion where you know, you can just kind
Speaker 2: of go out and play baseball, and pitchers can come
Speaker 2: in and feel pretty relaxed. And I think, you know,
Speaker 2: it always just ups to get an early lead like that,
Speaker 2: and but even if it was a close game, you know,
Speaker 2: we trust every single guy down on that pen to
Speaker 2: come in and shut it out, and that's exactly what
Speaker 2: they did.
Speaker 1: Can you describe the feeling when you hit that laser
Speaker 1: of a two run home run off the lefty Peralta?
Speaker 1: What were you thinking there to be so aggressive early?
Speaker 1: I think just trying to see a pitch up.
Speaker 2: You know, it's sicker change up guys, so seeing anything
Speaker 2: up in the zone and ready to go from there,
Speaker 2: and you know, especially guy in scoring position, just ready
Speaker 2: to go early.
Speaker 1: How about this guy, mooky bets, there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: game five? There's gonna be a game five?
Speaker 3: Mooky bets, Yes, there there is, and uh I'll be
Speaker 3: locked and loaded.
Speaker 1: Yes, you were ready for tonight. How important was it
Speaker 1: for you guys to be able to get an early
Speaker 1: lead and to get a crooked number up there?
Speaker 3: I mean it's huge. Playing downhill is always a lot easier,
Speaker 3: you know, but you know, we just we'll do whatever
Speaker 3: it takes. Man, this team we fight. We fight to
Speaker 3: the end, and we got another game.
Speaker 1: You don't need to worry about anybody else. But what
Speaker 1: was the statement made to each other to come out
Speaker 1: and play the way you guys did tonight?
Speaker 3: I mean, just to keep playing, keep going. I mean
Speaker 3: we had Freddie out, Miggy out, and the guys were like,
Speaker 3: it didn't matter, next guy up. We're ready to go.
Speaker 3: I mean, and obviously, uh, we we had to take
Speaker 3: care of business. And you know, I'm I'm just glad
Speaker 3: I was able to help us.
Speaker 1: Hey, you always help out. You're one of the best
Speaker 1: players in baseball, and you've showed it the last couple
Speaker 1: of games, and you're gonna keep it going.
Speaker 3: Game five, Mookie, Absolutely, yeah, I'm ready to go. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is uh, this is kind of stuff we dream about.
Speaker 3: I know it's not the World Series yet, but you know,
Speaker 3: game five, elimination games, this is what makes it fun.
