The Dodgers and Yankees getting set for Game two and tomorrow night. Tyler Glass now will be on the mound for Sunday Night baseball at Yankee Stadium. Tyler thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for having me, dude. Yeah, I know this will be a new experience for you. You've pitched here before, but this will be the first time you're wearing a Dodger uniform. I'm sure you're aware of the history between these two
teams, so it must be exciting. Yeah, it's great just being from here, and obviously like a big baseball fan growing up watching the Yankees and the Dodgers. It's just cool to be a part of it as a player this time and not a fan. Can we go back to last night Johann Ramirez. We all know what went down in Cincinnati for him to go out there and face the heart of the Yankees' lineup and be able to get it done. What was the vibe in the dugout during that eleventh inning? It
was awesome. This stuff is electric. When he's in the zone, he's nearly unhittable, so it was awesome for him to come out. He looks super confident, was executing pitches, getting ahead of guys. It was it was amazing. And they tried to make that defensive play at the end of the game and Will came out got it, but it was it was an awesome ending. That was just his personality, right, being very excitable, trying to do too much there. Yeah, he did a great job last
night. Can you explain to us how does it go from where it was in Cincinnati to where it was last night? I think we all are trying to wrap our heads around that. Just pitching is very inconsistent at times. I think sometimes you got it, figured it out. Sometimes it's it's hard, And I think it's just such a confidence game. And I think Dot going out there and giving him that support and Cincinnati was really helpful for him. And I think after that moment it seemed like he's been executing a lot
ever since then. We could go into pitch shapes, you know, all the different analytics that go into pitching. But how much is confidence a big part in what you do and what everybody else does in this game? Yeah, it's huge. It's kind of like the chicken or the egg. You know, it's like you feel good than you're confident, or you're confident, then you feel good. It's just it's one of those like throughout the course of a six month, seven month season, you're always going to have ups
and downs. But as long as you can kind of find your center, I guess of like what makes you good and what makes you confident, you're usually gonna end up having a pretty good season or more consistent anyway, even at this stage of your career, are you still building upon each and every start? Yeah, for sure, there's always stuff to learn every start. I think the good ones, the bad ones, there's always something to take away from it. So I think just the experience of doing it over and
over and over again is always helpful. For the majority of the season, the Dodgers have had you and the rest of the rotation on five days rest. Tomorrow will be normal rest, four days rest. Whatever flackground work you were doing today, Is that any different than what you would do the day before start? No, same stuff, Just I would usually just have like one extra day of light throwing and then just like a normal post day or pre day whatever. Yeah. Yeah, Tyler Glass now is our guest.
Just before first pitch between the Dodgers and Yankees Gavin Stone on the Mountain Night, Tyler, I know you're much different pitchers, But what's impressed you the most about what he's been able to do this year. I just I love his consistency. I feel like until he physically everything, he's always the same. He doesn't tinker too much with his mechanics, he's always His timing in between pitches is always really similar. I think he just has a really consistent
headspace and then allows him to move consistent physically. It feels like he's a baseball rat because he's always talking baseball and always has a baseball in his hand and trying to still shape his pitches to be the best for sure. I think too, even last year just coming up and struggling and kind of feeling that, and then coming into this year and basically like dominating. I just think the way he pitches is so impressive. He is always watching the game,
He's always got a ball in his hand. I do think he I mean, he's work ethic is insane too. He's been extremely impressive this year so far. Do you take notice of that? Of these young guys? Just Bobby Miller, I know he's been on the al but the way these guys go about their five day routine, Yeah, I think like a lot of stuff is kind of behind the scenes. A lot of people don't see you do a lot of pre stuff in your lift. It's like you don't
see everything. But for the most part, I try to watch everybody and I think at this level and I think how good the minor leagues is now, Like everyone kind of harps on like getting a five day routine, and guys want to feel good every day to go out. So it is interesting to see everyone's five dad But everyone's pretty pretty buttoned up on this team.
I'm not gonna pretend like I know the intricacies of pitching, but the one thing that I feel like I can tell is the competitiveness, the mound presence that guys have. Is that part of what makes pictures great, Having that type of competitive spirit like Blake trying it. Yeah, for sure. I think, Uh, if another team can pick up on the confidence of a picture, it's a huge benefit. I think, Yeah, anytime you can go out there and have good mound presence and feel good and feel confident,
it's always going to go in your favor. It's gonna be obviously better than not having it. Yeah, isn't that the difference though, between nights that you don't have your best stuff and the nights where everything's working, where you're just out there competing. And that's what separates the good ones to the you know, mediocre ones. I think it's like everyone always feels good or bad.
I think it is true. The ones that can like separate when they don't feel good and just try to go out and compete with what you have is always better off than kind of going out there and like tinkering and trying to figure stuff out. So I think it's more about accepting it you're not always going to feel perfect and just trying to compete as hard as you can every game. I see you in between starts and how much dedication you have
in your work. What is the balance between preparation and not trying to over tinker to make things even better. It's kind of one of those things. It's good to try to separate it between practice and the game. I think you can think about all you need to think about before the game and whatever in the bullpen or all your work a week if there's stuff you want to work on. But once you get on to the mound, it's best to just try to let it go, pick up the glove, and just try
to execute bitches. All right, look forward to it tomorrow night, Tyler, Yankee Stadium. Yeah, I appreciate it, man, Thanks
