I mean, yeah, the pitch before he kind 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.120 of took an odd twing for Johnny, but it didn't 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.080 phase him at all. I got another sinker down on 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.160 the zone and carried it for a big home run 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.040 to get us on the board. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.440 Believes it's help. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.480 Give you that conferance, what you like about the way 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:52.040 you keep it help. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.360 I mean he's so good at that. You know, that 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.480 approach with the contact and you know they run a 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.560 bunch of lefties against us today and trying to find 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.520 that right bought to get a guy in there. Ben 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.200 came up and was ready to go and smoke the ball. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.480 We needed every run. I mean, the Angels were challenging the. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.040 Offense, and the scored on the fellow home or two 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.639 singles and two base footed walks. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.239 Yeah, I mean, look, I think those bases, little walks, 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.120 I mean, they're just as important Yondi's at bat huge. 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.480 I think Cedric had the other one, you know, understanding 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.839 you got to come to him and the way he's 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.360 swinging the bat, they're gonna be very careful. But didn't 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.560 help the pitcher out at all. And runs have been 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.760 a little challenging to come by. We'll take them however 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.280 we can get them. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.320 Junior pretty good defensive. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.240 Yeah, he made a nice, really nice play to his left, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.200 covered some ground, got up really quick and fired it 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:42.720 over there. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.680 That same for a second. He was pretty hardered himself. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.480 He earlier in the season. Have you see him mellow 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.119 at a little bit in his personality? 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.120 I mean, I think he's in a pretty good spot 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.920 mentally right now. He's very competitive like we've always known, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.200 but I think he's doing a lot of things that 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.160 he's happy with and just wants to find that to continue. 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.800 This month that he's put together what he's. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.560 I mean, yeah, we're fortunate to have him right in 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.760 the middle of the lineup, and I know the separation 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.520 you gotta have. The rity's are always a thought with 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.040 Yandi Cammy together, but you got a factor and Johnny's 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.560 sitting there right in the middle of the damage that 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:28.240 he can do. He uh spiked himself, I believe. Uh yeah, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:32.640 I've clipped his knee up with the other spike. You're asked, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.240 as crazy stuff can happen, Yeah, but he's fine. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.840 Yeah, what's important of this series to get this team back. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:42.159 On the track. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.880 They're all important.

The 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.160 one that you made in the hole, of the throw 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.920 and then Junior's play in the fifth. Can you think 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.160 us through way saw on yours? 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.600 Yeah, on mine, I just knew change up was coming, 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:19.920 failed he probably had to. I mean, it's it's hard 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.320 to not be out in front on his change up 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.360 because you have to respect his fastball so much. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.880 So, UH saw it off back to my right. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.880 Knew I had a good chance of getting there, and 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.480 I really just need to make a good throw to 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.760 first to get him. And then Junior was a heck 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.760 of a play as well, probably a ball maybe I 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:36.880 can g love it, but there I don't think that 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.280 there's a chance I can get an out by how 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:39.920 close that that play was. So for him to be 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.360 able to get dirty there, catch it and come up 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.520 and make a good throw pretty pretty efficiently, it was huge. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.480 Junior just noticed about how much he's been working in 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:49.440 that potent area. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.400 Just what have you noticed too about defensively how he 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:51.760 wants to. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:52.480 Get better there? 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.840 Yeah, I mean I think the drives there. You know, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.760 he just has to continue to go out and and 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.760 and work hard, make the right adjustments, understand maybe things 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.280 that you know he could improve at, or things that 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.640 you also have to kind of understand who you are 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.240 as your personnel and your strengths and weaknesses, and understanding 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.840 you know, he doesn't have to go out there and 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.880 be a gold Glove defender, so you know to take 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.280 that next step. Like all it is making the routine plays, 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.600 catching the balls right at you, ultimately just being ready 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.880 and and you know, taking it pitch by pitch, expecting 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.560 the battle to be it being hit to you every 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.800 single time. And I think that mentality, he's gonna do 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.720 nothing to get better. Left you think it was out 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.520 and off the bat. I knew I squared it up, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.880 but I knew I hit it really high. I honestly 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.719 didn't think. I thought I was probably gonna be a 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.440 flyout to the track. And then as it kept carrying 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.559 and where it ended up when he started to get 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.520 to the wall, I'm like, dang, there's chances goes over. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:45.800 And then he robbed it, and I'm like, dude, you 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.480 have a kidding. I'm like, if I had like nine 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.160 or ten of them and you took one away, fine, 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.360 but I got zero, Like. 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:52.120 Let me have one. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.880 You had a slab before, thinks so yeah, New York. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.760 Yeah, gets come home and take you beat. 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.079 At three and kind of do a bunch of different things. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.439 Mm hmm, it is, yeah, I was thinking about that 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.280 today for his I guess it's off our game as 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.400 we felt the past week or so. We've only lost 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.640 one series out of out of the three that we played, 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.280 so uh, you know, to to split one, take one 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.240 and then and lose one. You know, it's it's not 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.320 as bad as I feel like we feel, you know, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.400 compared to how I guess they'll kind of all we 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.080 were playing before that skit happened, but this is a 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.760 step forward. I think Carrie carry that over into tomorrow 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.719 and will be good. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:34.960 Yeah. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.320 Yeah, it was just cleaner all the way around. It 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.640 starts with pitching and defense. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.600 Shane going out and putting together a good performance and 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.760 you know, getting us out of the first ending clean 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.800 and then us arounda coming up big with a homer 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.480 in the first to get on the board early. Defense 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.480 was great all night. I felt like behind them and 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:52.880 and we came through with a couple of hits. We 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.240 had runners in scorn position. I feel like we've done 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.120 a really good job of getting runners in scorn position, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:58.480 especially in less than two outs. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:09:59.680 We've just we've had. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.480 Good at bad we just haven't had the ball fall 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.160 or been able to move him from third to home. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:04.120 I think today we did that. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.920 Yeah, I mean he's locked into when he's When he's 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.000 the way that he is now, he can get to 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.719 anything regardless. I mean that pitch what was a O 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.800 two heater probably off down and in. I guess a 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.800 guy with a good fastball, a good change up you 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.640 have to respect to when you get the two strikes. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.319 And for him to just drop the barrel of the 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.840 bat to it like that and pull it like he 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.560 was dead red sitting on it, it's crazy. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:37.920 Your performance And how did you feel today? Well? I 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:38.760 got the job done. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.560 You know I I feel like I say this every 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.080 single time, but you know I could have I could 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.480 have done some things better and really really good plays 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:47.160 behind me today. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.600 You know, I can't say enough about. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.280 Junior and the work ethic and you know the plays 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.680 he made today and same with Taylor that ball and 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:57.000 then the. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:58.600 What was it five six hole. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.640 Label? Offense responded great and you know, Bulwi can doun 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.679 hm really good game. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.720 I was just gonna ask you about the Junior your reaction, 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.960 you're pretty animated by you saw on him, But a 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:14.320 little bit. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.920 Yeah, on his defensive on way you're just how. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.280 He's continued to try to work and growing up. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:18.600 What do you. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:24.440 Appreciate about that? You know, I I think you know, Junior, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.280 Junior took it tough yesterday and you know, he was 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.760 a little frustrated, and to see him getting the early 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.119 reps today and you know, just the way he responded 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:33.880 was it's awesome. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.480 Ast I was. I told him, I'm like, dude, that's 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:36.200 what a leader does. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.160 The way the way you bounce back, the what what 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.880 you showed today, and the like how you handled yourself, 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:42.840 Like that's what a leader does. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.640 And you know, love that kid. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.040 He's he's so talented and you know the fact that 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.200 there's what twenty two it's it's crazy. It's special what 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.360 he does. And he's only going to continue to get 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.560 better and evolve as a player. And I really hope 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.079 I can, you know, be a part of that. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:58.960 I'm watching him. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.160 When I think he's for Taylor play to make you say, wow, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:03.600 that's gonna be pretty special, right. 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.679 I don't want to give him too much credit, but 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.719 uh no, I mean Taylor Walls is the best shortstop 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.679 in the league, and to watch him go. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.920 To work every single day. It's it's it's truly, it's 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:16.520 in honor. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.760 Like there was probably six or seven or eight or 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.720 plays so far the season where I'm like, oh, that's 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.960 a hit and there's Taylor and. 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.079 You know to It gives you. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.040 A ton of confidence on the mound to be able 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.960 to just say, you know, here's my stuff, hit it 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.800 and know that the guys behind you are gonna take 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:34.520 carey business. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.520 I feel like you guys kind of play a little 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.560 bit more like yourselves. Should I have for you know, 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:39.440 obviously a couple of. 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.040 Long or two, Yeah, for sure. I think it's a 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.559 good way to put it. We played more like ourselves. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.120 You know that the small ball, the moving guys over, 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.880 you know, great defense, you know, decent pitching, and. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:51.959 You know it. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.760 You know it's baseball. You know there's gonna be times 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.960 we're loso games, but there's gonna be times more times 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.600 we wouldn't games. And I think one thing this clubhouse 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.600 did a really good job of was, you know, not 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.600 getting too high, not getting too low, and so to 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:06.320 be able to respond the. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.000 Way we did the series was was was good both 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:09.200 of you. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.080 Earlier in the season, you were pretty hard on yourself 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.319 if you kind of fellow whatever in the last couple 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.680 of weeks and you learned a couple of things. 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.199 But I can fill I'm still pretty hard on myself, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.040 and I think that's what kind of makes me who 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:28.800 I am. And just as a competitor, are they sometimes 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.200 unattainable goals? Absolutely, But you know, I'm not gonna go 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.079 out there and try and just be you know, average 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:39.839 or mediocre and just accept anything but my best. And 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.719 so you know, it's always that let's strive for excellence this, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.079 you know, to be great to help this team in 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:45.839 a ton of games. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.520 And I think the thing that I've appreciated. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.880 The most so far is the way I'm able to, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.080 you know, bounce back and say, you know, it's okay, 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.040 Like you don't have to. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.320 Be so hard on yourself. It's good. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.480 But there's a little more gratitude, a little more grace, 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.720 And I think it's it's it's going a little long way. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.400 It says a video make sure he's a person as well? 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:04.760 Does it? 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:07.040 It could? 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.720 Yeah, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.280 you know, I'm you know, we're. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.640 Exactly I think I want to be or need to be. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.760 But you know, I'm constantly trying to grow as a 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.720 person as a teammate, and I think once you think 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.920 you've arrived, like that's that's wrong. There's always room for improvement. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.240 There's always room for you know, the next step in 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.400 your journey, and I'm always trying to. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:31.320 Chase that next step. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.880 Thank you aspre and and walk us through.
