ESPN. [Music] [Music] You’re now a few weeks removed. when you look back on this World Series, what what do you think of Will? Oh, man, there were there were so many good moments. Um, but I think just as a whole, you know, you talking to, you know, I was at the MLB awards show, the golf tournament, talking to all those guys this past weekend. Um, everyone just kept talking about how like incredible the series was. It was just back and forth. You know, we had the 18 inning game, uh, you know, seven games, that’s in extra innings. Uh it was just so back and forth. Such good baseball played between, you know, two really good teams. Um but yeah, I’m just I’m just happy we won it. You know, that would have really been tough going seven and losing it. But uh yeah, that was that was a really good Blue Jays team and you know, it was just a really fun series to be a part of. Well, I mean, there’s so many questions to ask you. Uh the first one though is about you. Uh what is it like to catch 74 innings in a week and a half? Will I was I was a little worn out. Um yeah, that that 18 inning game that took a lot out of me. That was that was a grind. Then coming back having to catch the next two days after that was was tough. Um you know, we were doing everything, IVs, uh just a lot of treatment. Just try to keep the legs under you, but uh you know, everybody was grinding. Um you know, their guys were too. So there’s just who kind of gut it out and you know, stick to it and keep going. Yeah. Because again, I was going to ask you because obviously you’re you’re still a young man, 30 years old. Um, but catching and being able to hit and catch in a World Series is such a challenge and then 74 innings, Matt. Um, I I I you probably set a record. I don’t know the LA I know there was a World Series long. I didn’t look it up. I don’t know if the catcher caught every single moment of that World Series. You potentially set a record, Will, you know. Yeah, I think so. That’s what I was told and stuff and saw. Um, but yeah, it’s it’s just crazy, you know, it’s just a lot of a lot of work throughout the year in the offseason to, you know, have to have the strong legs and all that and be able to, you know, not let it really affect me too much. The seventh game of this World Series. Uh, the ball is hit to Miguel Rojos. The infield is in. Isaiah Connor Falefa is just out of your field of vision to your left. The play goes to Rojos. Walk me through because I’m sitting at home thinking this series is over because the way that he collect cor collected it, coralled it and threw to you I thought was too late. What was that like from your vantage point, Will? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, you’re kind of preparing before the pitch is thrown, you know, if it’s hit to whoever. Um you’re you’re hoping maybe you have time to turn a double play or something. Um but as soon as it was hit, you know, he he took a drop step. Um you knew it wasn’t going to be a double play. And then I just turned into a first baseman there. Just make sure you get one out and uh yeah, luckily my foot stayed down enough. Um but that was that was a little hairy for a couple seconds when they replayed it, but uh got the out, moved on, and got the game going. Well, that was my question for you is what was going through your mind while the entire World Series, your ability to potentially repeat the entire season was in the replay machine? Yeah, I I was pretty sure, you know, the throw beat him and everything. Um, didn’t realize my foot came off at all uh for, you know, that half inch or whatever. Um, so I was pretty confident they replayed it. You know, we get two replays in the postseason, so you know, usually that first one they just kind of throw out there is like a maybe, maybe not. Who cares? We still have the second replay. Um, so I kind of thought that’s what was going on. And then it plays on Jumbotron and you know, I see my foot come off and it’s like, oh crap, here we go. I can’t imagine ending our season this way. You know, it’s a little bit of panic. Um but I was I was pretty confident after seeing the replay that he was going to be out. The call was going to stand. And uh did you notice so much conversation, Will, uh about um Isaiah Kiner Ferf’s secondary lead uh not being as large as he wished or the Blue Jays subsequently wished it could have been. Did you notice pre- pitch from Yamamoto that he was kind of even with Max Muny at the time? Did you notice any of that prior to the pitch? Yeah. Yeah, I noticed. Um, you know, we were Muny and I always kind of looking maybe for a back pick right there or something. Usually that’s with just the man on third on but uh you know he’s got to stay close back pick a line drive. Um he can’t get you know more than much. That’s that’s just typical baseball 101 on that. Um but yeah, that’s just that’s just a tough spot, you know, uh to lose to come up, you know, a couple inches short. But, uh I don’t think he did anything wrong. It was just that’s just how it had to be. Okay. Cuz that’s been a large conversation. Um and then as if you you thought maybe your heart rate couldn’t get any faster than the next pitch. Yep. Right. Uh or the next batter. Yeah. Yeah. Clement Ernie, you know, putting that ball out there. Pah and Kik running into each other. It was Yeah, that was a little hairy for a second, too. So, what was And again, you don’t have the best seat in the house for that, but what was your perspective from behind home plate for this moment that we have on the screen right here, Will? Yeah, I you know, I think Kik I don’t know if he was playing a little shallower than normal because taking away a little blue pit. Um, you know, make him burn you over your head, but uh I I thought it was Kik’s ball the whole way. um just where it was hit. You know, I’m kind of watching Kik and I wasn’t I wasn’t too confident that first couple seconds um that he was gonna get all the way back there. Uh yeah, then Pah just kind of came out of nowhere and and took it from him. And there Yeah, there’s the picture and it was I mean, what a play by Andy. That was, you know, neat. If the ball drops at all, it’s it’s game over. Well, I mean, let let’s talk about coming out of nowhere, Will. um because he did come out of nowhere in the middle of the inning out of the dugout. And you know, again, you performed well, extremely well, terrifically well, uh from the two- hole after being moved around in the lineup with Mookie being dropped down from two to three and then three to four and then you’re inserted in the two-hole from which you hit the ultimately game-winning home run. Um Rojos is in it second. The reason why there’s even a bottom of the ninth is because he homers. Can you walk me through what it’s like to be managed by Dave Roberts? Will. Yeah, he’s he’s great. Um he’s the only manager I’ve had, so I’ve been pretty lucky. Um no one really to compare him to him, but I’ve you know, we get along great. Uh we like to golf together and all that, but yeah, Doc, I mean, it seems like the last two years he’s pulled all the right strings. um you know, knowing what the team needs, knowing how, you know, when we’re at our best and who’s out there. Um you know, last year it was it was where the bullpen going and leaning into that. This year was leaning into starters, bringing starters out of the bullpen. Um you know, lining guys up correctly. Uh getting in there for games six and seven. Um just moving guys around and kind of playing who’s hot, who’s not a little bit, but just sticking with us. you know, he’s always he’s always had our back. He’s always trusting us. He’s always, you know, letting us know that he trusts us to just go out there, play our best baseball. And uh, you know, I think that instills a lot of confidence in us and, you know, gives us a little bit of a slight edge to, you know, win these tight ball games. Yeah. And did he did I see him running the bases prior to game six in Toronto, keeping you loose in a way? Like what what what are racing? What was that? him and uh Kimmy were were racing the bases before game six and uh yeah, I think Doc I don’t think he’s gonna be doing that anymore. Um because he face planted, right? Did he face? He face planted. Oh, yeah. Everybody caught on camera. He comes in, he’s he’s you know, covered in dirt asking for, you know, Tylenol, Advil, and all that stuff. I don’t know if you heard his hammy, but yeah, he was he was kind of in a rough spot for for a minute or two. Hey, I’m I’m the last guy to, you know, uh have fun at anybody running, you know. So, I I I just thought it was again, you know, you’re down 3-2. After that amazing game three win, uh the next two go to the Blue Jays and you show up in Toronto, he’s running bases and, you know, having a good time and and I’m wondering if that’s a lead that you guys all collectively took. Keeping it light, you know, reminding them everybody just to kind of relax, not be so uptight. um you know, not forcing it. Obviously, that’s kind of a you know, spur-of the- moment decision. He wasn’t forcing it. So, it’s it’s genuine, you know, it’s genuine, you know, follow me. We’re we’re just going to keep it relaxed and, you know, not be all uptight and go out tomorrow and play good baseball and try to win a ball game. And it also helps Will Smith, I have them written down here just so I can remember the names. Show Otani uh helps to have, by the way, I haven’t written them down. uh Yamamoto and Glass Now and Snell to be able to go out and throw those guys and relief and starting and things of that nature. How do you as a catcher keep keep your, you know, wits about you knowing that these guys are all different types of pitchers and catching them all and the in the crucible of games six and seven? Will, is there a process that you can lay out there for us? Yeah. Yeah, there’s for sure a process. You know, it kind of starts with talking with Prior, talking with, you know, Danny Leman and and Conor McGinness and Bardau, the pitching coaches. Um, you know, just just talking through hitters, talking through, you know, our pitcher strengths, you know, show his strengths, their class now, what he’s doing well, what he’s not been doing well. Um, whoever it is, whoever, you know, is going to be out there for us, kind of going through the plan and going through their hitters and all that. Um yeah, then going, you know, getting in the game and just kind of reading the game, reading, reacting, but it’s just a constant constant conversation with those guys. Um with the pitchers obviously as well, you know, what needs to be done, what we’re seeing the hitters are doing, how they’re adjusting, you know, how do we need to adjust? Um you know, it’s just this this chess game that keeps going on and it’s fun and it’s it’s intense. It’s it’s, you know, it’s it’s definitely a mental grind as well. um thinking through, you know, ever however many outs we had to get. Um and facing, you know, such a good lineup so many times, you know, getting Vlad Guerrero out, I mean, seven basically eight games with 18 getting a game, you know, 30 something times, like trying to figure out how to do that is is just one thing, but they got, you know, nine 12 guys on their bench that are are just as tough. Um, so it’s just having those conversations and talking through things and being on the same page and then just, you know, instilling that conviction in the pitcher you got on the mount. I mean, there’s so many so many things I want to ask you about in the few minutes I have left with you here. Uh, the most impressive thing you’ve ever seen Show Otani do on a field, off it? Oh my gosh. I don’t know. I mean, he started taking BP when was it like before the World Series or before the NLCS? Um we made him hit in the last group by himself just cuz no one wanted to hit with him and just be completely you know embarrassed cuz he’s hitting balls out of the stadium and you know we’re getting it giving it our all and getting it five rows deep, six rows deep and he’s putting another 100 feet. It’s just it’s incredible. You know how strong he is. Um you know throws 100 miles an hour just just the the power behind everything he does um is incredible. But, you know, you guys don’t get to see it, but we get to see, you know, the work he puts in, you know, in the weight room, his just his dedication to his craft is, you know, second to none. And, you know, he’s been doing that for since he was a kid. You know, you can just see that’s his work ethic and that’s just who he is. And, you know, we’re just lucky to have him and, you know, have have a guy as special and as talented as him, but also a guy that works hard, too. He He makes it all look easy, Will. He really does. Yeah, he really does. It’s like Does he sweat? It’s annoying at times, but you know, you’re two now with him. You’re just kind of like, “All right, he’s with us. Let him go do his thing.” And you can’t get too annoyed about that. Have you ever seen him sweat? Does he sweat? Does he have sweat glands? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Just want to make sure, you know, because again, the only the equivalent I I I make is, you know, a couple times I covered the US Open in tennis, it’s Roger Federer where he never sweat or didn’t look like it. He made everything the most difficult look simple. Mhm. And um had an air of invincibility, you know, and and being a teammate of his must be glorious. It just must be. Yeah. You know, at the end of the day, pretty much we’re glad he’s with us for sure. I’m sure. Um and and then, you know, Kershaw, my goodness, I haven’t even brought up a first ballot hall of famer. What was that moment like in game three? Game on the line. He’s never pitched relief like this before, right? Yeah. And what what do you say to Clayton Kershaw on the mound as he’s getting ready to pitch? What what is what is the exchange with somebody like him in a moment? I don’t even I don’t even remember. Um you know, he’s such a competitor and such like a he’s not emotional, but he’s he’s fiery out there. Um you know, when he’s when he’s in game mode and pitching, it’s he’s a little bit hard to talk to. Uh especially on the mound. You know, he doesn’t want to be talking on the mound very much. In between innings is great. But yeah, that’s that’s just he comes out, hey, we got to get an out. Like, do your thing, compete, just make pitches, one pitch at a time, do your thing, you know, trust it. That’s basically what you say. I don’t remember what I said exactly, but that’s that’s what you say. Um, but yeah, he got that big out, you know, bases loaded. Um, I feel like it was like a nine or 10 pitch at bat. I don’t even remember, but guy rolls over and yeah, hu huge out there in the 12th, 13th inning, whatever it was. Yeah. And then I didn’t even bring up Justin Dean with the ball that hits in the crack of the fence line down in the warning track. This is the wildest baseball series I’ve ever seen. Will Yeah, it had everything this year. It was special. It was fun to be a part of, including a walk-off. Well, not walk-off, a game-winning World Series. Is hitting a a game-winning game seven extra inning home run. Again, I know it wasn’t home and it wasn’t walk-off. Is that the stuff you dreamt about in Kentucky growing up? Oh, yeah. For sure. getting the last strike out on the mound or, you know, hitting a walk-off homer or, you know, a base hit or whatever. You know, that’s that’s what you you know, you play in the backyard with your friends, you’re constantly playing those situations and, you know, just having fun with it. And it’s kind of what I did. Uh, you know, just got a pitch to hit, got a good swing off, and yeah, got over the wall and put us up and then got to go three more outs the next inning. All right. Fore [Music] [Music] speech.
