the good times at Shakey's today.

1:00

Join right now by a man

1:02

that was groomed in the Dodger

1:04

organization, spent his first seven years

1:07

in the big leagues with the

1:09

Dodgers, and now it seems like

1:12

every retired Dodger takes up tennis,

1:14

including Sportsnet LA Zone, James Loney.

1:16

Loney, is that true? Are you

1:19

as big into tennis as Andre

1:21

Ethier was? Yeah, I'm definitely

1:23

getting into it. Had a

1:25

good match, good league match, 1-6-3-6-3,

1:28

and almost got into a little

1:30

scuffle with the guy because it's questioning my line.

1:34

Yeah, so there was some controversy in the

1:36

Valley when you were playing tennis. Yeah,

1:39

a little drama in there, but I had

1:41

some of my people in, so you

1:43

know, we were ready and they had

1:45

my back and those calls were out.

1:47

So that wasn't cheating, just to let

1:50

everybody know, it was not cheating. Alright,

1:52

everybody in the 818 knows all about

1:54

that. James Loney is doing a lot

1:56

of broadcasting for the Dodgers these days,

1:58

and not only does The play

2:00

tennis. He also golfs and you sometimes

2:02

get the best information on the golf

2:05

course and lonely you been golfing were

2:07

movie bets and I'm not sure if

2:09

you've seen this during God Those sessions

2:12

but it feels like the focus has

2:14

been there since day one. Yeah

2:17

yeah, name of the movie a couple times

2:19

now and. Is. Just a different

2:21

animal in the sense that. You're. He wants

2:23

to be the best at everything. Do is that

2:25

himself? And. Others you can see what he's

2:27

been doing for the Dodgers. It has been here. Source.after

2:30

being out in our style

2:33

Filter. And. Just have in our determination

2:35

and to wanna be great not just average is

2:37

to see him out there are on before the.

2:40

And before the games work and on days

2:42

in I started about a gumball doesn't have

2:44

been in the right position known or to

2:46

throw the ball known, the runners right, known,

2:48

the speed of he's got. To.

2:51

In what he does all this kind

2:53

of thing. So that's why he that

2:55

only do and are now James has

2:57

He expressed you over the course of

2:59

the times you've been together. Just how

3:01

He's heard their critics about his postseason

3:03

failures recently because he expressed that to

3:05

me and spring training and it feels

3:07

like that's been a chip on his

3:09

shoulder this year. Now.

3:11

I'm in the eyes I really even talk about

3:13

based by a killer. I think it's one of

3:16

those things does in of as a former player.

3:18

The fields and up for eight nine, ten hours a day.

3:20

or I. Don't like that's our time or

3:22

were put my focus within our time of an

3:25

hour energy into that and I think you know

3:27

a note off wasn't as. Like. That's

3:29

awesome but I'm doing and up in of it

3:31

Pretty so. He so focused on golf at the

3:33

time forces bowling, he so focused on bowling or

3:35

whatever environment he then he ah that's of the

3:38

default and ah yeah I mean that with scissors

3:40

with the play offs and all that mean. When.

3:42

You talk about a minimal amount of games.

3:44

It's is he didn't like it hits in

3:46

two or three games. I said. When.

3:49

You're always stays in pretty good pitching in

3:51

the playoffs so more than a day that

3:53

is just baseline of people are one here.

3:55

that says but not to get a three

3:57

at and you're out of college So I.

4:00

You know, you're just not going to people want

4:02

consistency and there's really no such thing if you

4:04

could have that everybody would Would do

4:06

that and I guess as

4:09

you go through a long season you can't

4:11

play those playoff games in april or may

4:13

You've just got to be able to stick

4:15

with your process Yeah,

4:18

no, exactly. I mean you got to trust the work you put

4:20

in and that's what he does, right? That's why he can go

4:22

out there Um, you know, he's my

4:24

boy. It's like he's you know, what five nine Whatever

4:26

he is about 50 60

4:29

right, but he plays like a giant right? He

4:31

he was you know He was around dust and pejoraya

4:33

with the red socks, which a guy, you know, who's

4:35

even smarter But they don't play

4:37

like that, right? They play like no i'm the best on the

4:39

field because of the time and energy I

4:42

put off the field so they can trust that when they go

4:44

out there Yeah, and I guess

4:46

I saw something on his youtube Where

4:48

he said all of his power comes

4:50

from his hips and i've heard that

4:52

about otani as well his Workouts

4:55

to be able to allow his hips

4:57

to explode are better

4:59

than most Yeah, if you

5:01

watch otani in slow motion, you kind of see the way

5:03

he coils up, you know Just to

5:05

talk about it. I read his book He talks about,

5:08

you know loading his hips because you think about it

5:10

if you load your hips, right load them sideways They're

5:12

ready to spring, you know, they're ready

5:14

to pop, you know, a lot of people load up

5:16

properly and then they can't really fire So

5:18

I feel like these guys know how to use their body.

5:20

You see it in golf. You see it in tennis, right?

5:23

These guys are not always the biggest guys They

5:25

know how to get their body in position. They know how to

5:27

rotate and then that provides so much of the power All

5:30

right, james loney not only a

5:32

great valley tennis player, but also

5:34

a really good baseball

5:37
