Yeah, I think we continue to see a young
pitcher, you know, making strides over the course
of the season since he's been here with us in
all facets, really, you know, the mental
side of the game, the competitive side, you
know, showing, showing a lot of poise and
then, you know, on the, on the
execution of pitches, I thought his slider was really
good today. He got a lot of swing and
miss, um, you know, he didn't walk
anyone, which, you know what we heard through
development was commend could be an issue here and he's
really honing in and, you know, everything,
all the preparation that he's done, all the work
that, you know, our pitching coaches, Scott
Emerson and Mike mccarthy have done with him. You
can see it just really paying dividends right now.
And I thought overall, you threw the ball great
today. Just overall the series seemed like pitching was
kind of every day limiting the walks and just kind
of giving you guys a chance. What's kind of
the takeaway from these three games here? Yeah,
you know, to come to court and, you
know, keep that offense at check and went to
our three games. You know, it shows the
growth in the team. It shows that we continue
to be competitive and winning a series is a good
sign. And obviously the on the pitching side just
limiting the free bases in the whole series. You
see the growth. Do you think the players sense
it as well? I do, I think there's
a level of confidence that wasn't here early on.
We talked a lot about when we were going through
April and May that we needed to stay positive and
continue to work. And I think that's shown itself
, you know, the way we're playing baseball.
Now, did you got it on the home run
? I did, I thought he did get it
, you know, a couple of feet short,
you know, we, we ran ourselves out of
the inning unfortunately, with Brown, you know,
pinch hitting against bar, which we like that match
up. So, you know, overall offensively,
we just, you don't score, you don't win
and we couldn't really get anything going off off.
These left, these block did a great job of
just, you know, mixing pitches with his change
up and cutting the ball and sinking it. And
that's, that's old school pitching right there. Look
a little bit vintage like Bud Black.
