Aaron offense, clearly,
incredibly quiet with logo and seven strong, just what made him
so tough. Yeah, I mean, that was probably,
you know, as good a performance against us this
year, we were silent. And I think he was ahead in the
count looked like he was really daunting his location wise, with, with a big
mix, you know? I mean it's two fastballs, it's cutter, it's
slider, it's curve, ball change and Vary the speeds on all of
those. So and then got a lead ahead in
the count and and you know, not making a lot of mistakes was off
our barrel and had some swing and Miss in
there too. So you know, really until Soto hit
the ball, hard to left, and then Wells got the base hit. You
know, he did a good job of just staying away from any kind
of trouble from against us. You mentioned getting ahead in the
count when he's 01 02. It seems like almost every batter knowing
what he has in his Arsenal. Just how difficult is that for a
hitter in the box when you're behind?
Yeah, so many things he can go to. Yeah. I mean I think it was
Hard for everyone to get a bead on them. You know, he's not
making mistakes, it's hard to really look one
pitch because, you know, he's throwing the kitchen sink at you
and he's changing speeds on and he's got a lead. He knows
how to attack with that, you know, he beat us tonight
with Stroman. What were you seeing from him? I thought. Sure. I was all
right, you know, obviously I had some traffic out, you
know, it didn't give up a ton of
hard contact necessarily, I like that. He was pounding,
the strike zone for the most part. You know, made a couple mistakes
in situations with Runners out there where you
know, they're able to pad the lead but you know, he gave
us, you know, got into the sixth inning with three runs. It was
just you know with the way Lugo was
going to, you know, seem like a bigger
lead Mark ladder jr. Gave up another
home run. It seems like he's not really been able to find
consistency or his way since coming over here. Why do you
think that is? Yeah, you know still trying to get to
know him again there's been a lot of good Within Real Ting, there's been some
outings where he's been real strong, there's been some
outings where he's gotten hurt with slug.
Whether it's a, fastball, whether it's getting behind, not
Landon some of his secondary pitches and he kind of
gets backed into a corner, you know, but then tonight you
also see the swing and Miss there with the split that he has
to. So and then, you know, as in
pitching a few days now. So just got to keep grinding with
them. And You know, get them in position
to be successful. I believe there was a point where I think he was me set up mixing it up, but pitches really
well too high on he was just pounding the strike zone but he's constantly ahead. Just how difficult is it? Knowing he
is so much to go to in his repertoire up there. I think it's big time for Him.
It was pain in the strike zone. He was putting strike one and
strike two to it, most of the other guys, but yeah, that's an easy stuff.
Whatever guy who has like nine pitches and he was showing every
page they sell. He was throwing everything. He was
confident about it and he just keep us off balance. Looks like the Orioles are in
Ruto. When you guys have 17 left to play now. Moving, moving forward. Is
how much are you watching the school board? And kind of
keeping up with what they're doing? We have to be paying attention
to that. We really focus on what we can do here. We trying to win games and
that's all that matters though. We don't care what they do. They
win or loss, good for them, but we focus and
what we can do. Every day here, you feel extra pressure. Sure,
as the seasons winding down now. No. I mean, we just, we've been playing
really good baseball all year long as well. I think we just,
we just got to keep doing the same thing. Try to relax, put put ourselves in a good spot to
finish the season. Well, Lucas put together a game like this.
Do you guys think you have to like figure out how to solve him
kind of going toward October? I don't think so. I think we
have a really good plan when we Face them in Kansas City. So I think we
just we just got it back to that game and try to do the same
thing with it there. Your impressions of Dominguez,
I'm even play with them or season. But when you saw me
as weeks in the spring, how much sure he is, you know,
he's, he's coming to the game, he's
coming through the field every day to show that he has the ability and
he's ready to play and show everybody that he can play. Before and different roles how much has this Arsenal
changed and how impressive was with how much he's sort of
developed as a picture over the years? So like that since the first
time I faced him, he's been adding like 45 pitches. So I
think that's really, that's what he's
been making him better and better throughout the year. So I think that's the biggest
difference that I've been seeing over here. I've been feeling pretty good. I
think he ran the ball. Hard just haven't find the holes yet but today I and I'm and I make a great swing to I feel and
it just got caught. So I've been feeling pretty good. I'm in
a good spot, I think.
