Stephen Vogt Talks Alex Cobb, Andres Gimenez, Guardians Win Over Cubs

what do you think of C uh one of the one of the biggest outings of the year for us um we needed him to go deep uh which where the bullpen was um we didn't have a whole lot out there today and so for him to be efficient the way he was uh he was outstanding quick outs attacking um that was really really big out of him what [Music] you he's trying to drive the ball right now I think you know him from time to time he's so good at making contact that he can kind of manipulate the barrel and put like place it out there but when he's at his best he's trying to drive the ball like he's has been the last month or so and um he he's just been huge for us I mean two very clutch hits today uh was that was the difference in the game yeah I think for us you know it's almost like when we get punched we get going and you know a lot of times we're we're doing the first blow but it seems like if we we're a little stagnant on offense the first couple Innings um when we get punched we go right back at him an answer and and it's always huge when we can do that yeah I mean C's gonna get a ton of ground balls and Kai and rugie do a great job positioning them and working with them and and we've got six seven very very good infielders ready to catch the ball and anytime you're getting the ball on the ground and you know you can convert that into outs consistently we're going to like it so having Cobb who gets a lot of them and having our guys playing in the right spots and able to make the plays is huge kind of boost do cin and boy give to this rotation based on last two times out yeah I mean they're they're professional pitchers right they're they're Pros they've been doing this for a long time they know how to pitch they know how to navigate lineups um both of them have just come out throwing strikes and that's what we love and the the efficient quick innings are huge and I think what it does is it just it gives a boost to our guys you know we've we've had a number of guys make excellent starts for us over the course of the year but to add those two at this time of year is a nice boost for us um just with their [Music] pedigree yeah you know it's no secret Nick's giving up some runs of late um but for him to come in get us out of that jam in the sixth and go back out for a three up three down seventh uh was exactly what we needed from him and you know Nick has been phenomenal for us over the course of the whole year you know from everybody from time to time is going to give up a run or so but ultimate confidence in all of our guys out there you saw tonight you know on a night where maybe we had some guys that weren't able to pitch didn't matter whoever we called upon PA stepped up and got the job done yeah he still tried to get me he goes hey I'm gonna go out to the bull I said no you're not you know you're staying in here because if you go out there you're gonna want to pitch so we made him stay in The Dugout enjy the op
