what your thoughts on having him back ecstatic ecstatic no no just no disre to pral or Pro or anybody but you know I'm I'm hyped I'm excited I mean you guys have had a great relationship and obviously he's been a big part of mentoring you throughout uh coming through spring training and playing the Outfield and everything what does it like to have him back on the field with you yeah you know he's just been himself around me and I been myself around him and it kind of flows like that you know there's not a mentor towards each other you know I look up to him as a as an older brother so you know it's how it is what kind of an impact can you have in your lineup and also deepening the lineup and deepening the bench for you guys yeah I put Fernando in any lineup I'm pretty sure he's going to take that team from lower to a higher level an instant so you know I'm just excited for him to help and PR to keep winning ball games yeah you I think energy is is contagious so you know it's going to rub off on everybody especially with his energy you know his Swagger as he likes to call it you know it's it's huge second at last home stand of the season the final month of the Season just how big how big a deal is it to get a guy like that back yeah it's huge you know I feel like we've we've had a lot of good games and a lot of a lot of tough games but you know having having him back in the lineup that's it's huge for us you know I think every game is going to be a good game now why did you guys know that today was going to be the day um he was hitting at it but I didn't really want to ask him any questions I kind of just let him be and you know come back when he comes back I just want to be healthy and be happy and have fun playing baseball Jackson as far as your performance you continue to make incredible plays in the Outfield you're still hitting well everything's you're as strong as you've been all season long obviously there's been no League adjusting to you up to this point how strong do you feel going into this last month of the Season cuz this is New Territory for you as well in terms of pushing yourself at this level yeah yeah for sure I I think that the a lot of the older guys especially Manny like he knows how to control himself and hold his energy until the end of the season you know I feel like I've been grinding all year but I have a lot of energy left you know I'm a young kid and it's fun to play baseball every day so you know I don't really think about how my body's feeling or anything I just go out there and compete and have fun you know we just got through the longest stretch of the season right there so you know I'll take the off day tomorrow and come back ready to ready to fight somebody what do to say about this B Club because you just mentioned you've been through one of the longest streaks of the season and yet you guys are still playing with a lot of heart a lot of determination what does to say about this ball Club yeah you know we want it I mean if that doesn't tell you what we want it then I don't know what does it just feels fun I mean I've said it so many times to everybody that this is just like it's just fun you know I haven't had a different explanation for it or thought any differently about it just thought a game and how it's fun people come watch us play we might as well put on a show for them Manny said it would take a while for him to go ahead and really recover and get back to full speed after his after the off season what do it like to have this version of Manny Machado a healthy version of Manny Machado car car yeah you know I'll credit it to him I don't really get I don't really think gets said enough you know the dude's had a long year came off a surgery you know he grinded to get back fast started the season he played the first game he's played almost every games so far so you know nobody gives him enough credit especially having you know a new baby this year like that's a lot I know that there's so-called dad strength that make you stronger but like you staying up late nights it's a lot so I think he deserves a lot more credit than people give he's he's one of the big reasons we're in this push right now I know you had the wrong answer for your favorite Star Wars character so what's who's your favorite Harry Potter character I don't really I don't really got a Harry Potter guy no I don't really get into that too much
