 Coming into this season the Dodgers had one goal to win the world series that slipped through their fingertips a year ago But to do that they needed to add some pieces the biggest of which came at the all-star break. That would be Manny Machado Manny Machado a deal appears very likely going from the Orioles to the Los Angeles Dodgers Manny Let's go back to the all-star game How weird was it knowing that you were about to be traded but not knowing where you were getting traded? Definitely tough you're going somewhere. You're gone. I kind of already know I'm gone This question is where Manny Machado will represent the Orioles for the last time my camp came up to me like hey I think you're coming to LA with us. I was beyond pumped at that time West Coast the first time, you know, obviously It's a winning team I was in shock at first, you know walking in here Tommy LaSorte in the club also be there Sandy Kofax comes here at a time This is big leaves. This is a franchise. There's legends here Free agency is only weeks away. Does the thought make you excited? Does it make you anxious? Obviously, I'm excited. I mean, I'm excited to see who's gonna show me the love Who's gonna who's gonna want me to go over there and be their guy, you know But I don't know if it could be more exciting being in a championship game, you know You can ask me this question in two weeks after a whole food win the world series I'll they give you a different answer. It was a ball the other night. You didn't run hard So how would you explain it? What happened? I mean, honestly Kenny I mean, I'm not the type of players can be Johnny Hustle and run down the line and slide to first base That's just not my personality. That's not my cup of tea. That's not who I am. Should I have given him a little more effort? 100% I should have but I didn't you know, and I got a pair of consequences for it does look bad It looks terrible players grow up dreaming of winning the world series. What do you think it would be like? Just getting to it will be amazing winning it will be just I don't know I don't even know how to answer that being a part of this group now seeing how they go about their business They're a game away last year, you know, they want to win it because they knew they had a chance to win it It gives me the extra motivation that I need On a lighter note, I know you have a unique sense of style. How would you describe your fashion? Honestly, it's all my wife Hey, Kenny Luke So the boat I you should wear something this look this right here. Oh, yeah, yeah, you see now I think it looks good. Yeah, you see you look swaggy now with the boat I feel the chain, you know, I like it. That's bling bling You know, it's funny you see quotes today Kenny wrote about the on the athletic and you see and the quote itself about Johnny hustle looks bad and then you watch the interview and it's so refreshing. He's so honest and says yeah, it looks bad It's on me. I how do you not like many much out of more after watching that honestly? I agree KB and I've known him since he was 15 years old He's a great kid and look it's hard to rip anyone when they're being that genuine and in that honest But here are the facts over the last four years This guy's had more bath than any player in the major leagues. He's averaged a hundred and fifty eight games I played with a guy in the Yankees Robinson Cano wasn't exactly Carl Lewis running down the line But he averaged 160 games. I want him on my team every day on Sunday just like Manny Machado Without a doubt this is a guy you already say at all, you know, it doesn't look right We have played consequences when it goes down like that, but this is a guy that you won on your bulk I mean this guy played the game or you see him diving up second base trying to break the overplay You see him diving for ball you see him play the game the right way and this guy is a machin man Without a doubt one in my lineup a hundred and sixty two game Only thing you regret there's not finishing the sentence and that's saying when I know I'm out by 10 feet I'm not hustling that's when I take breaks in the game because when a guy plays in the middle of diamond They run all the time shortstop center fielder, so it's okay for them to take a break every now man Bottom line is he's been everything you want from a rental player He's given this team a chance to get over the top because of his play down the stretch in these playoff It's on a fire by the way I mean red hot for the judge and remember this a guy that was a gold glow caliber third baseman And he was asked to be moved to shortstop to play and he went like I got you So that's the type of player that you want in your bulk last thing on the look we're not we're not advocating Hey, you don't ever run a first base That's not the case but also in them couple years ago Remember he hurt his knee running a first base and I think Frank the point is right when he when he hits the ball And he sees it a bullet to the shortstop, but he knows he's out right again not advocating not running But it's just different in that scenario especially with with with superstars, you know You got to pick your fight with certain players this guy plays every night He's on the diamond a lot like I said He's at shortstop center field moving all the way around the diamond lot He's already injured for him. You have to take your breaks on the field sometime I mean the Dodgers were like, you know a few home runs tonight. They might need them from the way Frank what's it? What's the hair look like? Oh, no, he's got it together now We love you the camp halfway
