Cleveland you, know 244 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:51.360 we know it's going to be a tough back and forth. 245 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.559 Matchup you, know they got a great pitching, staff their, 246 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.600 offenses you know they're going to put the ball in, 247 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.000 play the guys that can leave the. Yard it's just 248 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.120 we know it's never going to be an easy couple of. 249 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.840 Games so you, know coming back, here it's it's always. 250 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.360 Fun you, know they have our number right now these 251 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.080 first two, games but hopefully we can pull one out 252 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:08.759 here the last. 253 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.120 One and when you Play. Cleveland, Obviously Jose ramirez is 254 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:17.279 the superstar for The. Guardians consistency though since your career 255 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.039 has begun to do you've established that AND i think 256 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:21.840 he's very much the. Same and what do you see 257 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.320 in him and what does it take to play at 258 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.039 that high level. 259 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.799 Consistency you, KNOW i never want to See ramirez coming 260 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:30.759 up with the you, know guys on bass or a big. 261 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.320 SPOX i know he's going to get the job.

Base he's just when you can 268 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.120 plug a guy like that in the middle of your, 269 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.639 lineup you, know at a premium, position playing third. Base 270 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.159 it's JUST i feel like that's the main reason Why 271 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.799 cleveland had so much success over the past couple of. 272 00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:58.440 Seasons you just have a guy like that that you 273 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.919 can lean on and the times in a bad. Time 274 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.519 so it's it's been fun to watch Him. Afar the 275 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.360 guy's always got a smile on his. Face he's always 276 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.000 out there and it's. Impressive, man he's one of the 277 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.759 best best players in the, game and it's fun to 278 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.919 watch him and learn from him every. 279 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.759 Day, obviously there are serious work and routines that that 280 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.960 he is accustomed. To how about, you what's allowed you 281 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.519 to maintain that high level as the game adjusts to 282 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.039 you and all those things that go with. 283 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.679 THAT i think the number one thing is just taking 284 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.000 care of your.

NEXTECUTING i think 362 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.440 it's you, know it's not a secret, recipe it's not 363 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.480 any any one pitch any one. THING i think it's 364 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.640 just a culmination of going out their, confidence trust the, 365 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.559 defense and being on the same page with the. 366 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:16.079 Catchers AND i know one of the things that came 367 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:18.400 out of yesterday and it's probably been happening in all your, 368 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.440 starts but pitching. Inside it sounded like the cutter was 369 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.680 working to get. Inside and when you when you talk 370 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.119 about pitching. Inside how difficult is that to get good 371 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.039 at that and really have that be a weapon for? 372 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.640 You, YEAH i, think, UH i think it's kind of 373 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:35.440 like the old, adage like all the hitters want to get, 374 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.559 there you, know their hands extended that kind of lead to. 375 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.000 A lot of, power a lot of the slug that we. 376 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.160 See, so you, know anything you can do to kind 377 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.480 of counteract that and avoid some of the. BARRELS i 378 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.079 think that that's the. Goal and you, know obviously it's 379 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.839 like kind of a fine line because you you, know 380 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.359 you got to you know tow that line of you, 381 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.839 know hitting the corner versus you, know hitting guys or you, 382 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.839 know leaving over the middle of the. Plates so you, 383 00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.160 know it's, definitely, uh you, know part of my. Game 384 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.599 BUT i think it's JUST i think it's one of 385 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.200 the things just trying to avoid. SLUG i think it's 386 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.680 one like all these guys are so good when they 387 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.359 get their owns. Extended that a lot of guys hammer 388 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.799 breaking balls out over and fastballs out. Over so anything 389 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:11.279 you can do to kind of just tie guys, UP 390 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:11.680 i think it's. 391 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.000 Important, now yesterday you didn't allow many, Hits BUT i 392 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.440 was talking To Carl willis before the, game and he 393 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:19.640 had mentioned that that where he's seen a lot of 394 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.480 growth is that when you do allow a base it 395 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:24.039 you're still. Aggressive AND i know that's something that you've worked. 396 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.559 On and how big a change has that been for 397 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:29.440 you this year as opposed to last year when you 398 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.240 went through some tough. 399 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:31.759 Times, YEAH i. 400 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:35.400 MEAN i, certainly you, know feel like like the outings 401 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:36.839
