Speaker 2: base hit to right for Rochio, scoring as Martinez as
Speaker 2: it looked like Chisholm had to play on that ball,
Speaker 2: but the broken bat, the bad head was heading towards
Speaker 2: Chisholm and he was ducking out of the way of that,
Speaker 2: and the ball got by him and it heads up
Speaker 2: being an RBI base hit for Rochio and the Guardians
Speaker 2: have a five nothing lead, and on the Mount, Williams
Speaker 2: continued to shut down the powerhouse Yankee lineup.

Speaker 2: It looks like Stephen Kwan is on his way to
Speaker 2: yet another Gold Glove award as he continues to impress defensively.
Speaker 2: Later on in the eighth though, a two run home
Speaker 2: run by Jash Chisholm cut the Guardian's lead to six
Speaker 2: to four, and in the ninth, with him annual Classe unavailable,
Speaker 2: Kate Smith was on to try and save it.
Speaker 1: You do open up first base if you ever wanted
Speaker 1: to bring the go ahead run to the plate in
Speaker 1: Bellinger and put Aaron Judge on, but that's not happening.
Speaker 2: The one too.
Speaker 3: Swim in a this ball game paint got out of.
Speaker 1: The split finger and Kate Smith takes care of the
Speaker 1: mighty Aaron Judge and Game one goes to the Guardians,
Speaker 1: beating New York six to four.
Speaker 2: So the Guardians took game one of the series, and
Speaker 2: it was on to Tuesday night with Tanner Bibbee on
Speaker 2: the mound for Cleveland and the Yankees greeted him rudely.
Speaker 2: Their leadoff hitter Ben Rice homeward on the first pitch
Speaker 2: of the game and New York had the early one
Speaker 2: nothing lead. However, Bibby's settled in and found a way
Speaker 2: to quiet the Yankees offense. Bibby with a.
Speaker 1: Pitch swinging and I missed strength three got him with
Speaker 1: a breaking ball. Dominga strikes out and the Yankees threat
Speaker 1: goes by the boards and here is Ben Rice. It
Speaker 1: is fifth home run of the season.
Speaker 2: His first time up, and he's giving them a little
Speaker 2: boost out of that leadoff spot nine, your prototype leadoff hitter.
Speaker 2: Here's the pitch to him and it swung on tap
Speaker 2: back to the mound. Biby's on it, runs it over
Speaker 2: to first, flips to Santana in time for the out
Speaker 2: side retired in order on a low pitch inning for
Speaker 2: Tanner Bibby, as he needed just five pitches to get
Speaker 2: it done. We will head to the bottom of the fifth,
Speaker 2: one nothing, Yankees over the Guardians. New York scratched out
Speaker 2: another run in the top half of the sixth to
Speaker 2: make it to nothing, but in the bottom of the inning,
Speaker 2: the Guardians offense got going Steven Kwan and Nolan Jones.
Speaker 2: They both reached base singles and that brought Kyle Manzardo
Speaker 2: to the plate. Lighter hands at the belt.
Speaker 1: The two to one swung in line the right field
Speaker 1: and judge dives the ball gets by him. In the
Speaker 1: scores Jones on his way to second. Man Soto with
Speaker 1: an army eye double. We are tied at two. Kyle
Speaker 1: man Soto with his team high eighteenth army eye Judge
Speaker 1: trying to make a diving catching right on that sinking
Speaker 1: liner and it get by him and the Guardians in
Speaker 1: a two to two game.
Speaker 2: And the go ahead run at second and only one
Speaker 2: out and then on hell Martinez stepped in with a
Speaker 2: chance to put the Guardians in front.
Speaker 1: Lighter from the belt. Here it comes runner goes Pitts
Speaker 1: swung on a one hopper up the middle, boot it
Speaker 1: by Volpi.
Speaker 3: Recovers, throws out in time in the score.
Speaker 1: Man Soto the Guardian, it's take the lead. That Volpe
Speaker 1: booted that one humper behind the bag, and second it
Speaker 1: came up on him. Rick hacheted off his body, recovered
Speaker 1: through the first done in time to get Martinez and
Speaker 1: the Guardians have a three to two lead.
Speaker 2: Then it was up to the bullpen and Tim Herron
Speaker 2: got the call first in the seventh top of the
Speaker 2: order and ben Rice left on left. He bangs this
Speaker 2: one on the ground in the hole on the right side,
Speaker 2: sliding stop by Sneeman's second basement pops up, throws him out.
Speaker 2: Good job by Daniel Schneman and Tim Herron stretched time
Speaker 2: at the corner of Carnegie in Ontario, Cleveland three, New
Speaker 2: York two. Hunter Gattis was on in the eighth Well
Speaker 2: for a guy like.
Speaker 1: Volpi, an April game in the eighth inning is no
Speaker 1: big deal. In his young career, He's already played in
Speaker 1: the World Series. He's battle tested the pitch swim in
Speaker 1: a mess chase the slider away, Gaddis gets vopee and
Speaker 1: keeps the Yankees off the board middle of ending number
Speaker 1: eight three to two Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Yeah, once again, Kate Smith was on in the ninth
Speaker 2: looking for back to back saves. Damn, Kate Smith, not
Speaker 2: a lot of drama.
Speaker 1: He just comes in, pounds the strength zone and now
Speaker 1: he is just one out away from a save for
Speaker 1: the second night in a row he had won a
Speaker 1: year ago. Cabrara batting left handed, the pitch swung out
Speaker 1: a bouncing ball up the middle to his right back ended,
Speaker 1: Arius throws bogge.
Speaker 2: How about that, Kate Smith says.
Speaker 1: Really, the ninth innning is nerve wracking.
Speaker 2: Nah.
Speaker 1: Kate Smith made quick work of the New York Yankees
Speaker 1: a four pitch say, and the Guardians, for the first
Speaker 1: time since twenty nineteen, have won US series against the
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. They knock off the Bronx Bombers tonight
Speaker 1: three to two, so.
Speaker 2: That in short, the Guardians would take the series from
Speaker 2: the Yankees. They were looking for their first sweep of
Speaker 2: New York in Cleveland since the nineteen seventy season on
Speaker 2: Wednesday afternoon, but The Yankees came away the five to
Speaker 2: one win in the series finale on Wednesday off day
Speaker 2: Thursday and another off day Friday night as the ballgame
Speaker 2: with Boston was rained out, and they will make the
Speaker 2: again that up as part of a double header day

Speaker 2: series for the first time in judges storied individual, career
Speaker 2: and finally The yankees were on the biggest. Stage and
Speaker 2: when we caught up with him On, wednesday he talked
Speaker 2: about returning To cleveland for the first time since The
Speaker 2: yankees clinched The American.
Speaker 5: League, Pennant, yeah you always think about. IT i think for,
Speaker 5: me it was just going back to some of the
Speaker 5: tough battles and big games we had in the postseason.
Speaker 5: Here you, know especially anytime you Played. Cleveland you, know
Speaker 5: we know it's going to be a tough back and forth.
Speaker 5: Matchup you, know they got a great pitching, staff their,
Speaker 5: offenses you know they're going to put the ball in,
Speaker 5: play the guys that can leave the. Yard it's just
Speaker 5: we know it's never going to be an easy couple of.
Speaker 5: Games so you, know coming back, here it's it's always.
Speaker 5: Fun you, know they have our number right now these
Speaker 5: first two, games but hopefully we can pull one out
Speaker 5: here the last.
Speaker 2: One and when you Play. Cleveland, Obviously Jose ramirez is
Speaker 2: the superstar for The. Guardians consistency though since your career
Speaker 2: has begun to do you've established that AND i think
Speaker 2: he's very much the. Same and what do you see
Speaker 2: in him and what does it take to play at
Speaker 2: that high level.
Speaker 5: Consistency you, KNOW i never want to See ramirez coming
Speaker 5: up with the you, know guys on bass or a big.
Speaker 5: SPOX i know he's going to get the job. Done,
Speaker 5: he's you, know one of the best, hitters and it's
Speaker 5: been one of the best hitters in the league year after,
Speaker 5: year AND i feel like he never gets his due.
Speaker 5: Credit you. Know it's like you, said he's playing one
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty eight games every single. Year he plays
Speaker 5: stellar defense at third. Base he's just when you can
Speaker 5: plug a guy like that in the middle of your,
Speaker 5: lineup you, know at a premium, position playing third. Base
Speaker 5: it's JUST i feel like that's the main reason Why
Speaker 5: cleveland had so much success over the past couple of.
Speaker 5: Seasons you just have a guy like that that you
Speaker 5: can lean on and the times in a bad. Time
Speaker 5: so it's it's been fun to watch Him. Afar the
Speaker 5: guy's always got a smile on his. Face he's always
Speaker 5: out there and it's. Impressive, man he's one of the
Speaker 5: best best players in the, game and it's fun to
Speaker 5: watch him and learn from him every.
Speaker 2: Day, obviously there are serious work and routines that that
Speaker 2: he is accustomed. To how about, you what's allowed you
Speaker 2: to maintain that high level as the game adjusts to
Speaker 2: you and all those things that go with.
Speaker 5: THAT i think the number one thing is just taking
Speaker 5: care of your. Body you. Know that's one THING i
Speaker 5: tried to learn that kind of my first couple of
Speaker 5: years in the big leagues is you, Know i'd pull,
Speaker 5: muscles do, this and Then i'd be kind of. Out
Speaker 5: so you can put up good, numbers but if you're
Speaker 5: not out there every single day with the, team then you,
Speaker 5: know what's what do those numbers? Matter SO i think
Speaker 5: it was really just about making sure my body felt.
Speaker 5: Good and If i'm out there for one hundred and fifty,
Speaker 5: games hundred fifty five, games you know the numbers will be.
Speaker 5: There and you, KNOW i love watching the. GAME i
Speaker 5: go home after the, GAME i turn ON Mlb. Network you,
Speaker 5: Know i'm watching other teams, games you, know just trying
Speaker 5: to learn and see what guys are doing or what's
Speaker 5: happening around the. League so, it's, Uh i'm only gonna
Speaker 5: play this game for a short amount of. Time so
Speaker 5: as much INFORMATION i can soak for my teammates and
Speaker 5: around the, league, that'll you, know help me get one
Speaker 5: percent better or even just a little bit. Better you,
Speaker 5: KNOW i try to do that every, day fair or.
Speaker 2: Not you hit a ton of home, runs so people
Speaker 2: think of you as a home run. Hitter but last
Speaker 2: night four for four. Singles how important is it to
Speaker 2: you the on base and the batting average things like.
Speaker 5: That, well that's one THING i wanted to get. Better you,
Speaker 5: know we can we can go for the long, ball
Speaker 5: we can hit the ball out of the. Park but you,
Speaker 5: KNOW i feel like as each year that you had
Speaker 5: in the, league teams adjust to. You they find try
Speaker 5: to find different, Holes they try to find different areas
Speaker 5: where they can exploit. You, so you, know just try
Speaker 5: to make a couple of. Adjustments so where certain parts
Speaker 5: of the zone WHERE i feel like teams try to
Speaker 5: get me. Out IF i can just put that ball
Speaker 5: in play or make something happen you maybe we'll sneak
Speaker 5: through and find a couple of. Singles you, know and
Speaker 5: especially with our, lineup you, know IF i can just
Speaker 5: get on, base you, know with you Got Cody, Bellender
Speaker 5: Paul goldschmidt behind, you two, MVPs you, know just get
Speaker 5: on base and let them do the dirty. Work it's

Speaker 5: have to focus on too much to, say ASK i
Speaker 5: go out, there try to touch first base ANYWAY i.
Speaker 5: Can if it's a loop, single if it's a double

Speaker 1: Progressive field this. Weekend Jim house along with you on
Speaker 1: This saturday morning as The guardians are getting ready for
Speaker 1: a long day of, baseball two games and then the
Speaker 1: series finale tomorrow afternoon against The Red. Sox as it's
Speaker 1: a one forty first pitch tomorrow afternoon after the day
Speaker 1: night double header today in Downtown cleveland with a one
Speaker 1: to ten start For game, one six to ten for the.
Speaker 1: Nightcap Logan allen's been off to a terrific start for The.
Speaker 1: Guardians he made the starting rotation and might have been
Speaker 1: considered by some a long shot heading into spring, training
Speaker 1: but he threw well out In, goodyear and as the fifth,
Speaker 1: starter he's made four, starts one, win one, loss but
Speaker 1: the er two point one one after pitching extremely well
Speaker 1: his last time out On sunday At, pittsburgh and then
Speaker 1: when we caught up with him earlier this, week he
Speaker 1: talked about a couple of reasons why he's on such
Speaker 1: a good roll to start the.
Speaker 7: SEASON i think we're just on you on a good
Speaker 7: page with the, catchers you, know coming up with good
Speaker 7: game plans and just going out there. NEXTECUTING i think
Speaker 7: it's you, know it's not a secret, recipe it's not
Speaker 7: any any one pitch any one. THING i think it's
Speaker 7: just a culmination of going out their, confidence trust the,
Speaker 7: defense and being on the same page with the.
Speaker 2: Catchers AND i know one of the things that came
Speaker 2: out of yesterday and it's probably been happening in all your,
Speaker 2: starts but pitching. Inside it sounded like the cutter was
Speaker 2: working to get. Inside and when you when you talk
Speaker 2: about pitching. Inside how difficult is that to get good
Speaker 2: at that and really have that be a weapon for?
Speaker 7: You, YEAH i, think, UH i think it's kind of
Speaker 7: like the old, adage like all the hitters want to get,
Speaker 7: there you, know their hands extended that kind of lead to.
Speaker 2: A lot of, power a lot of the slug that we.
Speaker 7: See, so you, know anything you can do to kind
Speaker 7: of counteract that and avoid some of the. BARRELS i
Speaker 7: think that that's the. Goal and you, know obviously it's
Speaker 7: like kind of a fine line because you you, know
Speaker 7: you got to you know tow that line of you,
Speaker 7: know hitting the corner versus you, know hitting guys or you,
Speaker 7: know leaving over the middle of the. Plates so you,
Speaker 7: know it's, definitely, uh you, know part of my. Game
Speaker 7: BUT i think it's JUST i think it's one of
Speaker 7: the things just trying to avoid. SLUG i think it's
Speaker 7: one like all these guys are so good when they
Speaker 7: get their owns. Extended that a lot of guys hammer
Speaker 7: breaking balls out over and fastballs out. Over so anything
Speaker 7: you can do to kind of just tie guys, UP
Speaker 7: i think it's.
Speaker 2: Important, now yesterday you didn't allow many, Hits BUT i
Speaker 2: was talking To Carl willis before the, game and he
Speaker 2: had mentioned that that where he's seen a lot of
Speaker 2: growth is that when you do allow a base it
Speaker 2: you're still. Aggressive AND i know that's something that you've worked.
Speaker 2: On and how big a change has that been for
Speaker 2: you this year as opposed to last year when you
Speaker 2: went through some tough.
Speaker 8: Times, YEAH i.
Speaker 7: MEAN i, certainly you, know feel like like the outings
Speaker 7: kind of roll a little bit, easier and even when
Speaker 7: guys get on, base like we're never out of an. Inning,
Speaker 7: YEAH i Think i'm doing a better job, of you,
Speaker 7: know getting the position where the guys, are you, know
Speaker 7: hitting ground balls the, infielders letting.
Speaker 2: Our guys make.
Speaker 7: PLAYS i think that's where kind of our bread and
Speaker 7: butter as a. Team so you, know Anytime i'm able
Speaker 7: to do, THAT i think anyone guys on base and
Speaker 7: LIKE i, said being aggressive and helps keep the pitch count,
Speaker 7: down being able to pitch in the sixth, Inning that
Speaker 7: stuff like that kind of goes a long way for the.
Speaker 7: Season SO i think that's. Important So i'm definitely happy
Speaker 7: to be able to do, that and you, know hope to.
Speaker 2: Continue it seems like each of the starters now is
Speaker 2: starting to get deeper into, games and that can be
Speaker 2: a challenge. Sometimes but do you start to feed off
Speaker 2: each other when when you see say A Gavin williams
Speaker 2: pitching in the seventh and Then lively the day before
Speaker 2: you pitch got deep into the. Game can can that
Speaker 2: start to snowball a little?
Speaker 9: Bit?
Speaker 7: Oh, ABSOLUTELY i think it's you, know it's just the
Speaker 7: nature of you, know you see guys kind of roll
Speaker 7: through the line up a third time and you see
Speaker 7: that we all can do. It so it's definitely encouraging
Speaker 7: to see our guys go deeper in the. GAME i
Speaker 7: know it goes a long way for the bullpen. Too
Speaker 7: it's a long, season so anything we can do to kind,
Speaker 7: of you, know limit those guys innings on the back,
Speaker 7: end you, know so they're able to stay fresh for
Speaker 7: the entire, SEASON i think that's. Important so, YEAH i
Speaker 7: think that's our job out there to kind of go
Speaker 7: as deep into games as we. CAN i know we all,
Speaker 7: take you, know big pride in, It so anytime we're
Speaker 7: able to do, THAT i think it's a great.
Speaker 2: Thing and obviously you're focused on on yourself and your own,
Speaker 2: teammates but over the, weekend you had a chance to
Speaker 2: See Paul skeins and whether it's him or someone else

Speaker 2: Yankees he's now two to one after five starts with
Speaker 2: AN era of four point one five and pitching deep into,
Speaker 2: games worked into the seventh inning Against New york and
Speaker 2: it was something that very much was needed On monday
Speaker 2: night against The yankees due to heavy bullpen usage Against
Speaker 2: pittsburgh the prior. Weekend and he says it's something that
Speaker 2: he's always trying to, do pitch deep into, games regardless
Speaker 2: of the. SITUATION i, mean it wasn't too.
Speaker 9: AWARE i know we went next ra innings On, sunday
Speaker 9: so just trying to get the guys as much rest as.
Speaker 9: Possible they've been thrown a lot here, RECENTLY i think
Speaker 9: it was it's been seven games in a. Row we
Speaker 9: haven't had an off, day which SOMETIMES i can take
Speaker 9: a toll on the. Bullpen so just trying to get
Speaker 9: as deep as. Possible it is definitely a big help for.
Speaker 2: Them, obviously as a power, pitcher you can rack up.
Speaker 2: Strikeouts BUT i think you've mentioned maybe before The baltimore,
Speaker 2: start that you really wanted to try and get deeper into.
Speaker 2: Games and what is the key for you to do?
Speaker 9: THAT i mean first pitch, OUTS i mean strikeouts will
Speaker 9: come eventually earlier in the, year and more trying to
Speaker 9: go deep in the games and give our team the
Speaker 9: best chance to.
Speaker 2: Win, obviously you're gonna feel different from start to. Start
Speaker 2: it seemed like you had the good velocity last night
Speaker 2: from the, Jump and and do you feel different from
Speaker 2: start to? Start and was last night one of those
Speaker 2: nights where you felt really? Good?
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah you definitely feel different start from. Start sometimes
Speaker 9: you're not, hurting but sore more than. OTHERS i, was,
Speaker 9: HONESTLY I i was feeling it kind of. Yesterday my
Speaker 9: body was still a little bit sore from the last,
Speaker 9: start first time going one hundred pitches this, year and
Speaker 9: then last night definitely took a toll on my body
Speaker 9: a little, bit going six.
Speaker 2: Seventh any the quality of your stuff and the success
Speaker 2: you've had so, Far obviously the work was done in
Speaker 2: the winter time off season heading into spring. Training how
Speaker 2: pleased have you been with with all of that and
Speaker 2: how it's translated now to the regular. SEASON i, Mean
Speaker 2: i'm very.
Speaker 9: PLEASED i feel LIKE i still got a lot of
Speaker 9: work to, do. THOUGH i definitely got to cut down
Speaker 9: the walks a little, bit but we'll get there. Eventually
Speaker 9: still early in the.
Speaker 2: Season Gavin williams is joining us for A monday night
Speaker 2: In april that the place was jumping a little. Bit
Speaker 2: did you notice, That and as as you're on the, Mound,
Speaker 2: NO i didn't.
Speaker 9: Really notice it that. Much i'm more locked into the
Speaker 9: game than really locked into the, Fans so just sort
Speaker 9: of stay on our team as much as possible and
Speaker 9: not look out into the stands and.
Speaker 2: When you look at at your. Team Jose ramirez a
Speaker 2: big part of it, again and he's been your teammates
Speaker 2: since you reached the major. Leagues nights like last night
Speaker 2: when he does his. Thing what is that like for
Speaker 2: you and what most impresses you about?
Speaker 9: HIM i, mean just phenomenal all, around plays the game
Speaker 9: the right. Way he's always hustling down the, line no
Speaker 9: matter what it, is pop, up grandba to, Short he's always.
Speaker 9: Hustling SO i mean that's a good person to learn
Speaker 9: a game from and in all. Aspects So i've learned
Speaker 9: a lot from him by just watching the way he
Speaker 9: goes about his day every.
Speaker 2: Day and starting rotation, wise it's, uh several turns through
Speaker 2: the rotation now or it's rolling and you guys push
Speaker 2: each other and is there maybe not a, competition but
Speaker 2: as you go through it and the starts build up
Speaker 2: with good. Success can you feel that from start to
Speaker 2: start when you take them, Out yeah for.
Speaker 9: SURE i mean after every, start everybody's talking with each,
Speaker 9: other seeing what they got and with like if you
Speaker 9: see something with somebody, else then you talk about. It,
Speaker 9: Yeah you're always, pushing pushing each, other always getting. Better
Speaker 9: we watch everybody's Penn just learning different things from each
Speaker 9: each guy is a big. Thing it's going to be
Speaker 9: a big thing for success down the road.
Speaker 2: Too. Well listen to the start is going well for
Speaker 2: you for. Sure thanks a lot for coming by as,
Speaker 2: always absolutely thank. You That's guardians starting Pitcher Gavin, williams
Speaker 2: and we'll stay on the pitching. Front and we had
Speaker 2: a chance to visit With Joey cantillo earlier this. Week
Speaker 2: he earned his first save in the major leagues minor,
Speaker 2: leagues and he said maybe there was one back in high,
Speaker 2: school but he's not quite sure on that even but
Speaker 2: he's been terrific out of the bullpen ten appearances and
Speaker 2: has earned run average at one point three five heading
Speaker 2: into whenever that next appearance. Is and he earned that
Speaker 2: save On sunday In pittsburgh unexpectedly so as he pitched
Speaker 2: the ninth inning After Emmanuel classe could not hold the.
Speaker 2: Lead excuse, me After classe couldn't hold the lead in the,
Speaker 2: night that Was cantillo in the, tenth so an extra
Speaker 2: inning save after The guardian, said grab the lead in
Speaker 2: the top half for the, Inning and we asked him
Speaker 2: what his thoughts were coming on in a pressure, situation
Speaker 2: the hardest situation sometimes with that runner at second base
Speaker 2: on the.
Speaker 8: Road uh, yeah my mindset was to just get the
Speaker 8: job done and get us home and win the ball.
Speaker 8: GAME i think very simply, like, hey we need to
Speaker 8: make sure that run at second doesn't, score and that's
Speaker 8: by executing. Pitches so just try to get one pitch
Speaker 8: at the time and the best of your.
Speaker 2: Ability and when you look at the situation so, often
Speaker 2: when am my Annual CLASS a comes, in it's end of,
Speaker 2: game how prepared were you to be able to come?
Speaker 2: In and when did you find out, that, hey it's
Speaker 2: on now AND i better be?
Speaker 8: Ready, WELL i think obviously as the ending went, on
Speaker 8: once they had tied the, game you, know just kind of, understanding,
Speaker 8: hey the, situation like someone else is probably gonna have
Speaker 8: to go out there for the tenth, Inning so just
Speaker 8: kind of preparing yourself once that situation presented, itself and
Speaker 8: then once my name was, called like just kind of
Speaker 8: just treating it like any other, opportunity whether you're throwing
Speaker 8: in the third inning or the fifth, inning like you're
Speaker 8: just get yourself ready to go and then get into the.
Speaker 8: Game and same THING i, said do your.
Speaker 2: Job Joey cantillot joining us working out of the bullpen,
Speaker 2: now and we talked last week In baltimore just about
Speaker 2: that transition for. You and what's been the biggest key
Speaker 2: that it seems like has allowed you to really embrace the.
Speaker 8: Role, YEAH i. DON'T i, Mean i'm, really LIKE i told,
Speaker 8: you like just trying to take it day by. Day
Speaker 8: AND i, think you, Know we've got a good group
Speaker 8: of guys over there That i'm just kind of learning
Speaker 8: from each day and each different thing that. Happens it's,
Speaker 8: like all, right this is what you do in this,
Speaker 8: situation and talking to the older guys that have been
Speaker 8: in different situations where, hey you might be pitching here or,
Speaker 8: this the game's gonna dictate, this and just get in
Speaker 8: the overall feel for. IT i, think LIKE i, said
Speaker 8: it just comes down to whether you're starting a game
Speaker 8: and you're expected to, throw you, know one hundred, pitches
Speaker 8: and whether you're coming in in the, fifth sixth inning
Speaker 8: or the tenth. Inning you, know you just just focus
Speaker 8: on executing your one pitch and then and then go from.
Speaker 8: There AND i think obviously there's a lot of room
Speaker 8: for improvement, Improvement so that's where you, Know i'll continue
Speaker 8: to keep my focus on and just you, know try
Speaker 8: to get better every. DAY i think some pitchers that
Speaker 8: they HEAR i got to go to the. Bullpen but
Speaker 8: when you go to the bullpen, here you're going to
Speaker 8: the best bullpen in. Baseball does that help in terms
Speaker 8: of focus and really wanting to take your game to another? Level,
Speaker 8: YEAH i, think you, know those, guys we take a
Speaker 8: lot of pride in our pitching over, here and we
Speaker 8: have the best bullpen in baseball and all those guys in,
Speaker 8: there like you, know guys have played with a lot
Speaker 8: of my pro, career but it's like they're the best
Speaker 8: in the world of what they. Do and that's, why
Speaker 8: LIKE i, said getting to learn from them is, huge
Speaker 8: and just seeing how they go about their business and
Speaker 8: and just getting to watch them. Pitches it's fun getting
Speaker 8: to watch all those guys. Pitch same thing with our.
Speaker 8: Starters SO i think at the end of the, day
Speaker 8: Like i'm it's just it's it's fun to Win bowl.

Speaker 10: about gaddy You know classe, as WELL and i know people,
Speaker 10: you know because they got off to a little bit
Speaker 10: of a. Rocky, start however, you know stuff wasn't. The
Speaker 10: factor we were, still seeing, you know very, similar profiles very.

Speaker 2: it and what have you seen that that's good, from
Speaker 2: him that's allowed him to have. Some success one calling it,
Speaker 2: MIND well.
Speaker 10: I, think joey, you know is learning who, he IS and,
Speaker 10: i think, you know the stuff has never been. A
Speaker 10: question it's it's always kind of Centered to his issues
Speaker 10: were more about strike throwing and controlling. The COUNTS and
Speaker 10: i feel like since his second Outing In, san diego
Speaker 10: it's like a switch got flipped and and all of,
Speaker 10: a sudden he's attacking. The zone he's attacking the zone
Speaker 10: with all of. His pitches and with that, change up
Speaker 10: he has Got a no one talks about. His curveballs,
Speaker 10: curveball's tremendous so, for him with the mix of pitches,
Speaker 10: he has attacking that strike zone makes it really difficult
Speaker 10: for hitters to get, on time and it's just. So
Speaker 10: awesome to see a guy who works so hard and
Speaker 10: cares so much start to kind of find himself and
Speaker 10: come and do His own and you know who knows where.
