when you look at this one today this was really you know gav Stone get so deep into the game it really was a good first you seeing uh just that I mean uh their guy came up and uh he fished a great game W pitched a great game it was just really just a couple hits out there and so uh like you said it was just a really good team mie were you looking first pitch slider there no I just the first strike just one get I've didn't get a lot especially uh early in the count really really the whole count just just being ready to ready to swing okay whatever was there a little extra something in there after show got hit by a pitch no no no not does does that emotion uh from your team come out at all I mean you obviously missed a ton of time getting hit show gets hit you hit the Home Run Max gets hit no not not at all there's no emotion there I mean I don't I mean from my perspective I don't think any ill feelings or anything just barting right off the bat did you know it was gone um I knew it was a double at least and which would have gave us a chance to put put one across the board and so that's all I really uh cared about you know just get us a lead and just get into the ninth and and finish it out but you I just I figur it a double at least ask you about Stony another solid one yeah he's been he's been amazing all year man every time he touches the ball he go he goes out there and gives us chances to win he's filling up his Zone with strikes he very efficient um I think uh he's really kind of surpris us all how good he really is how important it is to win the series from now on uh I mean I mean even from game one it's important to win all the games um know the those those other teams are are really getting hot and they're playing very well and so it's just important for us to just keep playing the game we can't play better you know not a thing where we go out and try and play better we just have to keep being who we are and doing the same things we always do can you remember in in your time in in the league a stretch run like this where there's so many teams that could come out not only in the NL and the AL but with the best record overall um no I mean not the top of my head but I mean that's uh that's what makes it fun you know you know you have to come to work every day and it's not going to be a cakewalk you there's a lot of really good teams in really many different ways so uh again that's that's just what makes it fun M now that you've been back for a few uh weeks now how do how comfortable do you feel B it in the second spot and physically mentally how how are you uh I mean I'm very very comfortable I mean you know B behind him it's actually kind of fun so I get to see him uh see every swing every bat that he takes when I was leading off I didn't really get to see it that much so um you know it's pretty cool but you know I'm just uh being myself and and coming back to work and excited to come to work each and every day and I really am very appreciative to to not be hurt you know being on the show for those two months really made me miss uh being here and maybe appreciate each and every day I get here you guys are 67 you got most of your offense pack this month including in this last week how much of a connection there I mean you know it was a really good connection it's good to have everybody back but you know we also got to perform and that's the most important thing and doesn't really matter what kind of team you have a simple you have to you have perform and uh right now we're doing okay but we have to do it when it matters thank you
