Tell-All on Dodgers' World Series w/ Mookie, Freddie Freeman, Walker Buehler, More | On Base, Ep 33

[@thekingtauros]

Yo, Honeywell. We see you, bro. Your sacrifice was a major factor in this WS win.

[@bakon321]

Only the true fans know the work he put in. He got Mookie right in the DS, he ate crucial innings when Dave Roberts and the boys needed it most. Not to say the motivation and hype added by having him around. Attitude of a champion!

[@odee82ify]

100% agree

[@theways07]

Someone said this before but imma post it here, Honeywell is the guy who would go pick up that fat chick so you can get that 10 right there. 😂

[@CTLShow]

"What would 22 do?" Anyone who thinks that this ring doesn't count for Clayton because he was hurt and didn't contribute on the field, think again. From day one Kersh has worked to change the culture of the Dodgers for the better. He's been the only constant in the organization after all these years. The man has the admiration of his peers. He will never be celebrated as a legendary Postseason hero for a lot of reasons (some bad performances, some bad managing, some bad luck, the Astros, etc.), but he has earned both of his rings.

[@pinverarity]

Well-said.

[@OctavioIsais]

He crawled for the dodgers to walk. Ungrateful ass dodgers fans 🤦‍♂️

[@HBKShant]

Couldn’t agree more and well said. 22 carried this franchise on his back, was nice to see him get carried to another ring

[@solodolo528]

@@HBKShant i told people I know clayton has had is ups and downs in the playoffs but you can't make it to the playoffs without the regular season and in terms of titles the dodgers will win in the future and the ones they have one clayton kershaw is one of the greatest regular season pitchers of all time

[@Spicoli8]

People are ignorant and think he is just sitting on the bench enjoying the game. He is not, he is looking for pitches being tipped, he looking if the other offense misses basses, he looks for weaknesses in the other team. He gathers information and passes it on. He is mentoring young players picking them Up and teaching them how to be great. 22 earned both of his rings.

This is one of the best sports interviews/chats I’ve ever seen. It was real, no clichés. They are exactly like we’d hope them to be. They care, they feel it all, and it matters even more to them than to fans. And it proves unquestionably that team chemistry is critical. They each laid it all on the line, personal consequences be damned, because the other guys cared so much.

[@AlexisEvanoff]

This!

[@YamaMX]

After game 4 ended I looked at my fiance and said I’ve got to go, for the memory of my Brooklyn Dodgers diehard fan of a grandpa. Bought my flight, hotel and ticket on the spot and woke up a few hours later and went. This was the best game of my life. Thank you soooo much Mook for the inside info and perspective on what is legitimately one of the best days I’ve ever lived. Congrats!

[@VanquisherFantical]

You played out thousands of dodger fans’ biggest dream. Mine included.

Love this team - so grateful we get this gem of an episode. Honeywell has endeared himself to LA forever. And Walker F’N Buehler… two TJs, heading into free agency, down year, ball on short rest to close out the World Series. Such an inspirational story of never wavering and having that ultimate belief in yourself. Probably so many nights wondering if he can get back to playing at the level he knew he could, and so for him to experience this is awesome. So appreciative of Walker.

[@seansthoughts8856]

This is amazing to see. As fans we often yell and cheer because of outcomes but rarely do we know the backstories of the season/series. What I love first is how every one of them gave respect to the competition (esp the SD who had a bad ass team no matter how much we hate them) and the grind it took to overcome them. This team was epic, this ride was epic and this championship will forever be epic in my opinion. I'm living off this for the next year for sure.

Man, this probably was the year I was the most invested in as a Dodgers fan, but it did not disappoint. Such a rollercoaster year with all the injuries, all the question marks, but then the unwavering belief that this team just had that something extra to actually be the one to go all the way--despite all the injuries, despite all the naysayers, despite all the haters. All the historical firsts, all the records in the postseason, and then to watch the two players I had a lot of faith in that many doubted come through (Walker and Mookie) was amazing. I need Walker to be a Dodger for life along with Kershaw. I don't want to see him be that guy we always get in October for another team.
