Speaker 2: No, I wasn't. I knew it was gonna be cool
Speaker 2: to come back. I know it was gonna be awesome
Speaker 2: and it was gonna be a lot of fun, but
Speaker 2: I didn't expect the love and support, and you know,
Speaker 2: walking out for my warm up and getting some people
Speaker 2: cheering saying good to have you back and everything, and
Speaker 2: then no ovation as I walked off the mount was
Speaker 2: something I'll never forget and something I really would never
Speaker 2: never have expected ever. So it was really cool.
Speaker 1: That had to mean a lot to you, even though
Speaker 1: you're in a different uniform competing against the home team,
Speaker 1: that these fans will never forget what you did last year.
Speaker 2: It's I appreciate, especially being being a hometown kid, being
Speaker 2: from here and getting to live out, you know, my
Speaker 2: childhood dream, and then to come back and get a
Speaker 2: standing oh as a visiting team. Shoot, I mean it
Speaker 2: was really cool. It was really cool.
Speaker 1: Really, when I said you're the most popular guy here today,
Speaker 1: I felt like you went and visited with each and
Speaker 1: every one of your teammates from last year. What's the
Speaker 1: bond that you always have with those guys winning?
Speaker 2: I think it's just winning, you know it was Uh,
Speaker 2: I really didn't know how much it was gonna hold up,
Speaker 2: And it was great spending those those months with them
Speaker 2: and keeping in touch with those guys afterwards, and just
Speaker 2: I guess, uh, it's been special being was being a
Speaker 2: part of that team and still holding that holding that
Speaker 2: bond with them. I appreciate them. I appreciate them coming
Speaker 2: out saying hi, and just you know, you get the
Speaker 2: five minutes with with each guy, just catch up, see
Speaker 2: how they're doing, see how fam is, and uh, you
Speaker 2: appreciate every single second you get with them.
Speaker 1: Jack, what stands out to you the most about the
Speaker 1: run you guys made last year? You were such a
Speaker 1: big part of it. Does any one moment stand out
Speaker 1: where you felt like we have a real chance to
Speaker 1: do this?
Speaker 2: I think we always felt like we had a real chance.
Speaker 2: That that Padre series was really tough. Uh. What Yama
Speaker 2: was able to do in Game five was was huge.
Speaker 2: And then uh, you know, Kike and Tale coming up
Speaker 2: with huge swings. Winning that game was huge, and then
Speaker 2: you know I, from there as starters, we kind of
Speaker 2: started to rolla i'mna kind of set the tone. And
Speaker 2: then you know I went out Game one pitched well,
Speaker 2: and then Walker did his thing. You know, Game three,
Speaker 2: Alma came back, Game four pitched well. So it felt
Speaker 2: like from there its starters. Once. Once we got one
Speaker 2: good start it, the three of us started to figure
Speaker 2: it out and put it put a couple of good
Speaker 2: ones together, which is kind of what we needed and
Speaker 2: kind of what you know, it was said that we
Speaker 2: didn't have enough of, but uh, you know, those bullpen
Speaker 2: guys picked us up. And obviously the lineup they they
Speaker 2: were relentless and they never stopped scoring. Being down five
Speaker 2: nothing in game five, uh you know, they they just
Speaker 2: kept going. Especially you know, you get a guy like
Speaker 2: Garrett on the mountain that he's one of, if not
Speaker 2: the best, in the league. You wish him a speedy recovery,
Speaker 2: but what they're able to do just keep chipping away
Speaker 2: and you give him a second chance, and they never
Speaker 2: stopped Jack.
Speaker 1: He was so cool the whole October run and once
Speaker 1: you got here. Your mom and your family were at
Speaker 1: every start. Any family and friends will you have tonight
