Los Angeles Dodgers vs Minnesota Twins
Dodgers complete mini sweep. Will Smith is clutch. Chris Taylor with a home run after 2 months. And Joey Gallo hits his first home run as a Dodger. Great to see him get success here. All good vibes here instead of with the Yankees.
I do not own this.
All right, Joey, you went in off the bench, had a three-run homer, your first as a Dodger.
How did it feel?
Yeah, it felt good.
I was pretty excited.
Especially, like, coming off the bench, you know, you don't even know if you're going
to play or not, so to get in that bat and that situation and to come through and hit
a homer, you know, ended up being a pretty big one for us, so it's nice to help the team.
Dodger fans are, they're pretty special, but what was it like for you to hear them chanting
for you as you ran home?
Yeah, it's been a while since I heard people chanting for me, so I'm pretty excited about
that.
They've been awesome so far, like, just cheering me on, saying that they love that I'm here
and it makes me feel good, and it's such a great team to be a part of, a great organization,
so hopefully we can keep winning.
When you first got here, you told us that sometimes it just takes one swing.
Do you think that swing had something special to it that you can build off of?
Oh, I hope so.
You know, it's always nice to take a swing like that in a big moment, but, you know,
we'll have to see, I guess, you know, off day tomorrow, so get to relax and enjoy that,
but we'll see.
We'll see what happens after.
Dave Robert told us that you've been working closely with the hitting coaches.
Is there anything that you've been working on that you attribute to with that swing today?
Yeah, we've been working on a lot of stuff.
I don't want to bore everybody and get into it all, but we've definitely been working
a lot, and I think one of the reasons they brought me over was that they saw things that
they could fix and, you know, helped me be the player that I know I can be, so, you know,
they have a great staff, great hitting crew, so I'm excited to keep working with them.
For the Dodgers, this is 10 straight wins now, a good amount of those you have been
a part of, so how does it feel when you're part of this team?
Yeah, it's been special.
I came from a team that was winning a lot, and now this team's winning even more, so
it's been a crazy year for winning for me, so I'm excited about that.
It's a really, like, special group of guys in terms of just the talent, the ability,
but, like, clubhouse, great character guys, guys who work hard, so I'm just blessed to
be a part of it.
Joey, congratulations, and thank you so much.
Thank you, appreciate it.
