Speaker 2: Tani is going to try to do what you've done

47
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: many times in your career. What does it take to

48
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: be able to be effective? Pitching on short rest.

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the first step is just being willing to

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: do it, you know. And so Show has already shown

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: that he's willing to do whatever it takes to win

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: this series, and we can't thank him enough for that.

54
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,119

55
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,359

00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: It starts a show though, and we're we're we're excited

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: that he's on our team tonight, it'll be great.

58
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: How do you balance all these emotions knowing it's your

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: last game, but knowing, hey, that phone might ring and

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: that truck might need to work.

61
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think try to take it all

62
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: in right now, enjoy it, and then you know, once

63
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Ato nine hits, get ready because yeah, you never know

64
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: what happened out there, but I'll be ready for tonight,

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: and then.

66
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: Really take it all in after the game.

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: Before I let you go your thoughts on the way

68
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: that game ended last night with the ball being stuck

69
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: and the play that key game made. I mean, that

70
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: was that was high of highest leverages last night.

71
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was huge.

72
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think what Glass did was huge for

73
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: us coming in getting out of that and then keyk

74
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: making that play. You know, everyone makes a big deal

75
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: about the ball getting stuck, and they would have, but

76
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: like if the ball doesn't get stuck, Jade goes and

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: gets it.

78
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: And it's second and third anyway, you know what I mean.

79
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: So it's like it doesn't really the ball getting stuck.

80
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't really think affected it as much as people

81
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: are making of it. So at the end of the day,

82
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: what Glass did was huge.

83
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: Could you tell the temperature of Glass now? In the

84
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: ninth inning when he was warming up and came.

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Out, he did great. I mean he didn't, you know,

86
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: just hurt his name called and got ready. So sometimes

87
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: in the bullpen you don't have enough time to think

88
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: about the moment. You just get ready and go, and

89
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: that can be a good thing sometimes.

90
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for the time. I know how much

91
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: you mean to those guys inside that clubhouse. And I'm

92
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: not going to get too much here, but you've meant

93
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: a lot to me, and I always appreciate you, always

94
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: looking out for me and always having the best interests

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: of everybody that has been in your orbit the last

96
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: eighteen years.

97
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it. Thank you man. Don't make it weird.

98
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: I won't make it weird.
