Postgame 4 Press Conference

Dodgers - 2, Phillies - 1 (11)

Q. Tyler, just kind of talking to people around the team, sounds like you've been kind of looking forward to this day for a long time. What was it like to kind of go out there and pitch as well as you did in this type of environment, this type of game?

TYLER GLASNOW: It means everything. It's been a dream of mine for a long time, not only to play for the Dodgers but in postseason in meaningful games. It just feels incredible.

Q. Were you aware of the shadows and how they were playing tonight? How does that factor into the way you attack hitters I suppose?

TYLER GLASNOW: I figure it a little bit through just being an early game, I'm sure that had something to do with it. I don't know which innings, like, specifically, but I kind of didn't think about it too much. Just attacked them like I normally would, and it worked out.

Q. Dave said you had cramping. What was that -- at what point did you feel it, and did it affect your pitching? How often did you think about it?

TYLER GLASNOW: Probably at the end of the third-ish inning, beginning of the fourth. I tried to put it out of my mind. It didn't affect anything. I think when I got around it sometimes and I was late it started to cramp a little bit more. But I didn't think about it too much and it was fine.

Q. Most effective for you today as far as what was working, or did anything surprise you as far as something that felt better than maybe you thought in the bullpen?

TYLER GLASNOW: I think just the timing of everything, like tunnelling was a little bit better. I've been struggling being a tad bit off, a tad bit late. I think just working with Connor and Mark and getting it back on track this past week and just moving a bit quicker. I just felt a lot more confident and aggressive in the zone.

Q. Up to this point your playoff history has been kind of a mixed bag. How are you a different pitcher now that allowed you to go out and have the type of performance that you did today?

TYLER GLASNOW: I mean, I think the biggest difference, I guess, is having that slider and the two-seam. I think just kind of it was a matter of locking in today, and it worked out and everything felt good.

Q. The first week or so of the postseason, you were sort of available in relief and you obviously pitched in Game 1, and your shortened outing at the end of the regular season. Anything you did in particular to sort of keep stretched out to like get ready for a start like this in the interim?

TYLER GLASNOW: I kind of just did the reliever role sort of. During the week it was a bit more like higher energy, not as much throwing, I'd say. I kind of just fully went in as a reliever. Then after knowing Game 4, I just switched it up after I pitched in Game 1.

The routine is pretty similar I'd say, like throughout the week, I think it's just not as much volume. But I think just kind of just being a starter for so long, it was easy to switch back.

Q. What did you think of Roki's performance?

TYLER GLASNOW: It was incredible. I think for what he went through in the beginning of the year, to come back, go to Triple-A, and then come out and throw some of the nastiest innings I've seen in baseball. It just shows how strong he is, how much of a competitor he is.

Didn't seem like anything fazed him. He was throwing strikes, super aggressive. It's extremely impressive. We'll need him for the rest of the season.
