What does reaching 30 home runs
again mean to you? It feels good. Haven't really thought what he
really means? Well, I know is today, we won the game and he
helped to get their offense going. So I was pleased with that happy
with that. And yeah, we got to continue to
climb them off. What does it mean? Just the fact
that a lot of your hits, it seems
like especially lately, whether it was about both hits today.
Come in spots work, the team kind of relieved it. Yeah, I love that, I love that. I want those moments and in April, we will talk to all
that. Think I had those moments as well. I just didn't come
through and right now, I'm coming through. This is It's baseball. It's it's a waif. I'm going to go
away right now, just right, as long as we can. Thank the Lord for blessing me.
We Health. And yeah, whenever I come up in those
situations, it might look like I'm D guy
doing it. But the guys in front of me, are
the ones are actually coming up big time, you know, Jeff had a
great at bat in the ninth
inning. I mean, the eighth in Alvarez.
Alvarez had a greater basketball, you know, it's a
ground ball the other way. Now I get to come up with some
second first and second, it's just somebody loved me just following their in their step,
so, it's a team. Effort and just so happens. I worked
out that I'm the one getting big hit Peterson and Carlos both
described almost like a feeling of an inevitability in The
Dugout. When you're at the plate in those spots. Do you feel that at all? When
you're at the plate right now, I'm walking to the
plate and I feel good. You know, I feel
good, but I'm in the moment, you know, I'm
in the moment. I Are in the when I'm in the top step and I'm on Deck,
going through scenarios preparing. And then once I'm in
the Box, I just let things happen, you know. I'm glad you kind of feels like
that for the people are outside, you know, that's a good
thing. I'm just living in the moment
and enjoying the moment. You feel an extra urgency to the
games. Now that we're in September, I've been feeling
that for a while, going from enough for a while.
This is not just a member. Yeah, September, we getting
Closer, you know, we have less
games but for, wow, that is we have had a
sense of urgency and it's not just means everybody in here.
Even the guys that get cold up, they understand that we
animation. He chants the second time around
to not even louder. Yeah you mentioned equal. It feels
great. It'll be a dream will be a dream. But right now, I'm just
trying to play winning baseball and we'll see where we add the
end of the year and hopefully we in the postseason. And if you
happen to be a dream, if we could be something extremely
special, but right now, I'm focused on
winning baseball's baseball games and at the end of day, I appreciate the love, the
friends are giving me and I just got to continue to to put up a good show for them
and also. So you keep on getting louder and louder, we
just don't want Peterson tonight. What was that? What did
you see from Peterson tonight? He executed his a true
professional. He's preparing. He's going about it the right
way, day, in, and day out, he's not get that in the moment and
get too big for him. He's expressing his in the moment and he has come a long way. I'm
super happy for him. The way he
has executed his game plans this year. How much extra is it for you
that you're able to play? Read a at this level, you know, no days off just plow right through. Ya know, I
mean, there's no least coffee it. Hats off to
the training staff here to, to the athletic trainers. Everybody's helping me, prepare
day in and day out to a nutritionist. Jeremy, he's
done a fantastic job. Forcing me to do things, I at the time, I might not want to
do it. He, I always say that he's the most consistent guy in
the realization and then to the Lord for blessing
me. Me with health, you know, I know this might be one bucks quotes you supposed up every day
and that's what I'm trying to do. You have to reach back
for more at this point? I mean, you've been through 55 plus
month so far and now it's the most important month. Every day. You have to, you have to be disciplined to go
out there and get it done, you know, it's it's one of those
where if you can get up on the month like this one. There's something wrong. You know, this is a good time of the year
whenever you step outside. It's getting a little colder. Gets dark a little earlier, you
know, it's a good feeling.
