WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, this pregame interview is going to cost me a lot,

2
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe even a fantasy football player, because Gavin Stone is

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>in the same fantasy football league as yours. Truly, Gavin

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>thanks a lot for the time, even after a tough

5
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>loss in fantasy this week.

6
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah one got me.

7
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 3>Did you win?

8
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I did win? I beat Adrian Gonzalez.

9
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Kind of.

10
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Catches that last ball right there, then I'll win. But

11
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 2>one one pulled it out.

12
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Broke a lot of hearts last night.

13
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 3>A lot of hearts, a lot of hearts.

14
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 1>So what do you think about my team? Do you

15
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like, uh, you might be crawling back for some

16
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>players on old Vassay's team.

17
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>No, your team is pretty trash.

18
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>I like to call it with a lot of death.

19
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of death. You say trash, I say stacked.

20
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>One man's trash is another man's treasure.

21
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Damn right. Gavin Stone is our guest. As the Dodgers

22
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and Marlins are getting set for first pitch, all right,

23
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>fans want to know how Gavin Stone is feeling, How

24
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>is the shoulder feeling, and do you feel like you're

25
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>close to giving this a try?

26
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

27
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that the plan is to throw at some

28
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>point later this week, you know, just trying to get

29
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>that inflemation to go down a little bit, take the

30
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>pain out of the back of the shoulder. But you know,

31
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 2>it feels a lot better, It feels stronger in a

32
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of positions, and so hopefully you know, whenever I

33
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>start throwing again, there's no pain.

34
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>So is that really the biggest check? You might be

35
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>throwing from sixty feet and figure out where you're gonna

36
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>go from there.

37
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, as long as there's no pain that

38
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna throw. So that's really the only issue is

39
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 2>just cleaning that up in the back of the shoulder

40
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 2>and then seeing where that is right now. I really

41
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>don't have many answers right now, but hopefully, like whenever

42
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I start throwing, there's no pain.

43
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>You've been so dependable this entire year, more starts, more

44
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>innings than any other picture on the staff. How have

45
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>you dealt with being on the I l.

46
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's tough.

47
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>It's tough watching and then not know or knowing that

48
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna get to get a chance to go

49
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>out there relatively soon. I was talking to NAC earlier,

50
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I was like, being on the isle, I have no

51
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>idea what day it is anymore, just because I was

52
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>so he used to knowing what day I pitched and

53
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>then basically in the.

54
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 3>Week off that. But yeah, it's stuff.

55
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>It's tough watching, but you know, these guys are really good,

56
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>so it makes it even more enjoyable.

57
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>How have you been able to cope with all that?

58
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing during games? What are you doing

59
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>during your off time to keep your mental health in

60
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a good spot.

61
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Just trying to stay positive. That's the biggest thing, is

62
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 2>just being positive, being positive for our guys. You know,

63
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>we're we're in a close race right now, so that's

64
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing, is just you know, trying to stay upbeat.

65
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 1>You're a good buddy and roommate Bobby Miller is on

66
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>the mound tonight. What does he need to do to

67
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of get back to the Bobby that we know

68
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he can be.

69
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's just you know, throwing his aw

70
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>speed for strikes and getting ahead and counts.

71
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 3>That's really it.

72
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, he looks more comfortable up there. I think

73
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>it's just you know, just getting ahead of hitters and

74
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>then sequencing, right, That's pretty much it. But you know

75
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna pull through. I have a lot of confidence

76
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>on what he's able to do.

77
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>How much do you guys talk about pitching even at

78
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>this stage with you not being out there? Does he

79
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>lean on you? Do you lean on him?

80
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

81
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and we don't really even talk a lot

82
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 2>about pitching. I think it's more about mentality more than anything,

83
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, Bobby's so good and and I mean,

84
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>if you just clean up the mentality then then he'll

85
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>he'll show it for sure. But yeah, we don't relatively

86
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>talk a lot about pitching wise, just like you know,

87
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the mentality part of it.

88
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>The two most overlooked young pitchers that have come up

89
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the last two years in my mind are yourself and

90
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Land and Knack. Why were you guys not as talked

91
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 1>about as some of these other pictures that are really

92
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>good as well?

93
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that's just because we have a

94
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>ton of guys in the minor leagues that are really good.

95
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Like if you look at our our farm system, there's

96
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, top to bottom pitching wise really good, top

97
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to bottom hitting wise really good, and so there's just

98
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of prospects you know, that could possibly come

99
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>up and stuff like that, and so NAC you know,

100
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 2>he's he's been a dog all year. He's he's he's

101
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>pushed there. He's given us some big stars and so

102
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>for him to come up and down that that role

103
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 2>is hard, going up and down and and then coming

104
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>up and having good starts, and so for him to

105
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, be able to do that consistently, that's that's

106
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>pretty big.

107
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Why has Lindon Knack been so good?

108
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he throws strikes, he's not scared of hitters,

109
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>he believes in his stuff. He's really confident. Yeah, and

110
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 2>and like I said, he's a dog and he just

111
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>loves to get people out.

112
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like you're describing Gavin Stone.

113
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the Dodger mentality.

114
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Basically, that's how they that's how they brought us up,

115
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>I guess. But yeah, I mean it's been a lot

116
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>of fun to come up with those two guys.

117
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Stone is our guest, wearing his Clayton Kershaw Rot

118
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to Wear T shirt.

119
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

120
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Kershaw said a lot of great things about you, Gavin Stone.

121
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 1>What's the relationship like between you and a future Hall

122
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>of Famer? Now?

123
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like, you know, we've gotten a lot

124
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>closer this year, just picking his brain, messing with him.

125
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 2>He's really a real laid back guy, just I mean,

126
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of like me, and so we meshed well together.

127
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 3>We talk a lot.

128
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>He's just a good, good got to surround yourself with,

129
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and good family man, good great dude off the field

130
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>on the field, and he's a good friend too, So

131
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, being able to like lean on him and

132
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>and just kind of like put my trust in him

133
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>has been huge.

134
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard about his change up envy? Has he

135
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>expressed that to you?

136
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm a little bit, not a lot?

137
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Like I said before, though he doesn't use it

138
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot, so he doesn't need it.

139
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't need just a really good one.

140
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>But I did just imagine if he had just a

141
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>nasty change up like that, like I know, But no,

142
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't need it.

143
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 3>He's good enough.

144
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>God doesn't give you everything, Gavin Stone, just like you

145
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>won't get Blake Korm from me.

146
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't want him anyways.

147
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Thanks a lot for the time, and we're all pulling

148
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>for you. You talk about you're describing these other guys

149
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 1>as being great people, great family people. That's who Gavin

150
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Stone is and certainly La is rooting for the best

151
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 1>for you and if you need me to stand in

152
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>when you play catch that first time, let me know.

153
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll play catch with you day you can stand in.

154
