Speaker 1: I've had so much fun with these guys, you know,
Speaker 1: going into the year, kind of knowing it was gonna
Speaker 1: be my last one, Like to have this group of
Speaker 1: guys to get to do this with for all of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five has been really special for me. It's
Speaker 1: just been a lot of fun, man, it really has.
Speaker 1: I've had a blast getting to be with them every day,
Speaker 1: getting to do stuff, and then you know, they've supported
Speaker 1: me this last six week, you know, since I've announced
Speaker 1: my retirement and they've been they've been so awesome about it.
Speaker 1: And tonight will just be the cherry on top.
Speaker 2: You're no stranger to pitching on short rest show. Hey O,
Speaker 2: Tani is going to try to do what you've done
Speaker 2: many times in your career. What does it take to
Speaker 2: be able to be effective? Pitching on short rest.
Speaker 1: I mean, the first step is just being willing to
Speaker 1: do it, you know. And so Show has already shown
Speaker 1: that he's willing to do whatever it takes to win
Speaker 1: this series, and we can't thank him enough for that.
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna have a lot of guys
Speaker 1: and I do whatever.
Speaker 3: It takes to win this game, and.
Speaker 1: It starts a show though, and we're we're we're excited
Speaker 1: that he's on our team tonight, it'll be great.
Speaker 2: How do you balance all these emotions knowing it's your
Speaker 2: last game, but knowing, hey, that phone might ring and
Speaker 2: that truck might need to work.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think try to take it all
Speaker 1: in right now, enjoy it, and then you know, once
Speaker 1: Ato nine hits, get ready because yeah, you never know
Speaker 1: what happened out there, but I'll be ready for tonight,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 3: Really take it all in after the game.
Speaker 2: Before I let you go your thoughts on the way
Speaker 2: that game ended last night with the ball being stuck
Speaker 2: and the play that key game made. I mean, that
Speaker 2: was that was high of highest leverages last night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was huge.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think what Glass did was huge for
Speaker 1: us coming in getting out of that and then keyk
Speaker 1: making that play. You know, everyone makes a big deal
Speaker 1: about the ball getting stuck, and they would have, but
Speaker 1: like if the ball doesn't get stuck, Jade goes and
Speaker 1: gets it.
Speaker 3: And it's second and third anyway, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So it's like it doesn't really the ball getting stuck.
Speaker 1: I don't really think affected it as much as people
Speaker 1: are making of it. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: what Glass did was huge.
Speaker 2: Could you tell the temperature of Glass now? In the
Speaker 2: ninth inning when he was warming up and came.
Speaker 1: Out, he did great. I mean he didn't, you know,
Speaker 1: just hurt his name called and got ready. So sometimes
Speaker 1: in the bullpen you don't have enough time to think
Speaker 1: about the moment. You just get ready and go, and
Speaker 1: that can be a good thing sometimes.
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for the time. I know how much
Speaker 2: you mean to those guys inside that clubhouse. And I'm
Speaker 2: not going to get too much here, but you've meant
Speaker 2: a lot to me, and I always appreciate you, always
Speaker 2: looking out for me and always having the best interests
Speaker 2: of everybody that has been in your orbit the last
Speaker 2: eighteen years.
Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it. Thank you man. Don't make it weird.
Speaker 3: I won't make it weird.
