HIS MOMENT CLOSING THIS GAME OUT. >> Meredith: LUKE, HOW AMPED UP WERE YOU WHEN YOU RAN OUT THERE IN THE NINTH WITH A SAVE OPPORTUNITY? >> WELL, I CAN GIVE YOU THE CORRECT ANSWER, PROFESSIONAL ANSWER, OR GIVE YOU AN ACTUAL ANSWER, AND I COULDN'T SEE STRAIGHT. I WAS BLACKED OUT FOR THE MOST PART, I WAS ON PURE ADRENALINE, BUT IT WAS A GREAT TIE. AND IT'S AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND TRY TO GET THREE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTS IN THE BALLGAME AND TRY TO GET THE MOMENTUM GOING ON OUR SIDE. >> Meredith: DID IT FEEL DIFFERENT FOR YOU? >> I MEAN IT'S THE SAME GAME, SAME OUTS, YOU TRY TO GET IN THAT MIND SET WHERE NOTHING REALLY CHANGES, BUT I MEAN, IT FEELS DIFFERENT, RIGHT? YOU SEE THE CROWD GETTING IN ON IT. I'M IN -- FEELS LYCRA 25-PITCH AT-BAT. JUST HOPING FOR SOME CONTACT THERE. SO YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A LOT OF FUN, LUKE BACK ON IT, IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY COOL MEMORY, FULL CIRCLE, DEBUT HERE BACK IN 2006. SO JUST I GUESS THIS PLACE MEANS SOMETHING. >> Meredith: HOW MUCH OF A BATTLE DID IT FEEL LIKE WITH BELLINGER THERE? >> YOU GET HIM 0-2 AND IT'S LIKE I'VE HAD A LOT OF AT-BATS AGAINST HIM OVER THE YEARS AND I KNOW HOW GREAT OF A PLAYER HE IS. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST, I FELT LIKE DID I A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH, I JUST TRIED TO NITPICK A LITTLE BIT. HE DID A GOOD JOB OF JUST SEEING THE ZONE, AND THE BIG MOMENT, WON THE AT-BAT, SO I HAD TO TRY TO GET THE NEXT GUY, PAREDES, AND HE GAVE ME A RUN FOR MY MONEY NO DOUBT. >> LUKE, YOU HAD A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ROLES IN YOUR CAREER. IS CLOSING ONE THAT HAS EVER GONE THROUGH YOUR MIND AS ONE CHALLENGE YOU WANTED TO TAKE ON? >> YEAH, I THINK AS SOMEONE WHO'S STARTED FOR MOST OF HIS CAREER IN THAT ROLE, LIKE, AS THE WRITING ON THE WALL JUST KIND OF SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, WHERE I WAS IN MY CAREER OF LATE THIS SOMETHING THAT I ASPIRE TO HOPEFULLY BE AT ONE TIME IF I WAS GOING TO BE IN THE BULLPEN. IN THE BULLPEN YOU WANT TO DO BEST YOU CAN TO JUST GET OUTS, KEEP RUNS OFF THE BOARD. BUT THIS IS THE PREMIER ROLE AND JUST A REALLY COOL FEELING GO OUT AND HAVE THE TRUST THAT I CAN GO DO IT. >> DID YOU SAY YOU WERE BLACKED OUT PRETTY MUCH? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? >> WELL, I GUESS IN THE PROPER TERM, IN HEIGHTENED VISION THAT THEN BECOMES BLURRY, A HEART RATE THAT FEELS THAT IT'S UNCONTROLLABLE. A NUMBNESS THAT GOES THROUGH THE BODY, YET SEVERING WORK AT THE SAME TIME. HOW DOSS THAT WORK? >> WHEN YOU WERE IN THE BULLPEN, WAS THERE ANYBODY THAT YOU TALKED TO TO TRY TO PREPARE FOR THIS? I MEAN CLAY'S DONE IT A LOT, DID YOU ASK FOR ADVICE FROM ANYBODY? >> NO, I MEAN, KAY'S THE MAN, HE DOES HIS THING. I WATCH, I OBSERVE. TODAY TO BE HONEST WAS A LITTLE UNEXPECTED. JUST I KNOW WE'RE DOING THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MATCH UP BEST FOR OUR TEAM,SHIPLY DOWN THERE. AND SO WHEN THEY MAKE THE CALL IT'S LIKE, OH, ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. SONIC IT'S BETTER THAT WAY TO REACT AND NOT MAKE IT TOO BIG, FASSERO YOU'RE STARTING THE WHOLE DAY YOU'RE THINKING THE WHOLE DAY, SO IT WAS GOOD. >> AT WHAT POINT DID DID YOU REALIZE IT WOULD BE YOURS, ARE YOU PLAYING ALONG? >> YEAH, I'M KIND OF 50-50 ON IN IT MY HEAD, MAYBATES POSSIBILITY, BUT REALLY WHEN THE PHONE RANG RIGHT AFTER THE EIGHTH AND TOMMY WAS DONE AND IT WAS ME, IT WAS JUST LIKE, WE GO FROM LOW PERCENT TO PRETTY HIGH PERCENT, AT A HUNDRED THERE. JUST I THINK IT'S BEST THAT WAY JUST TO REACT, TRY NOT TO MANAGE IN YOUR HEAD. I THINK THAT CAN PLAY WITH YOUR HEAD A LITTLE BIT. JUST KEEP IT CHILL. AND THEN BLACK OUT WHEN I NEED TO. [ LAUGHTER ] >> CAN YOU REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THAT YOU FELT BLACKED OUT? IN ALL THE OTHER -- THE DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE? >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS TERM IS NOT A NEGATIVE TERM THIS TERM CAN GO BOTH WAYS. >> YEAH, JUST ON THE MOUND. >> JUST ON THE MOUND. WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? >> THE LAST TIME ON THE MOUND THAT YOU FELT -- >> YEAH, SURE, SURE. HONESTLY, THERE'S DEFINITELY MOMENTS I'VE FELT LIKE EARLY IN THE SEASON THERE WAS A BIG MOMENT WITH THE DODGERS OR WHERE THE GUYS WERE ON BASE IN BIG SITUATIONS, AGAINST SOME REALLY GOOD TEAMS. REALLY THAT ONE DOESN'T BEAT THE DEBUT. YOU KNOW, HERE. LIKE THAT IS LIKE, DON'T SEE STRAIGHT FOR THREE DAYS, KIND OF THING. BUT THAT WAS A VERY COMPARABLE AN ETC.
