I love negative x-rays so good. It's got swollen
but fine. Um I kind of asked you about
this before but just, um I was just kind
of turning the page from what was a rough start
for you to be kind of extended, you know
, good run here for yourself at the plate.
I just satisfying as that been after. Obviously,
we're kind of grinding through those first couple of months
. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's
a long season and um, you know, kind
of just like last year, just all star break
is always a good reset to just hang out with
family and uh did a little barbecue and see the
new house that we just got and kind of just
took some pressure off myself and just wanted to go
out, have fun and play and, you know
, I feel like at the end of the day
, you kind of look at it, you know
, being a free agent next year and, you
know, you kind of think about all the years
I've been here and you just want to finish strong
and leave a good impression on, you know,
on the field and for the fans. So,
um, obviously it feels good to be playing better
, but I wish we would have got the win
tonight as we're able to kind of shrink together some
runs in, um, just for a young team
to kind of show that kind of fight. Just
a positive. Yeah, I mean, I see
a lot of young guys, you know, grow
up and it's important to get those feet wet more
and more and see some really good arms and a
team that's been, you know, to the A
Al CS in the past with five or six years
. So, um yeah, just to see the
fight that they've been doing is important and, you
know, everyone is learning each day, you always
take it for what it is and you move on
to the next day and these young guys are really
taking advantage of their opportunities. Um Food, you
get traded trade line come up. I mean,
just being a guy is anything that's in the back
of your head, honestly. No, I mean
, um I feel like everybody just goes out there
and plays their butts off each day and kind of
that's what you've been seeing and, um, you
know, obviously there might be some more moves but
you just got to take it a day at a
time and um really just enjoy your teammates and uh
you know, you spend more time with these guys
and your family. So, um all you really
want to do is just enjoy each moment and um
things happen, take it as it may, but
if not, you're in Oakland a and you enjoy
that because, um, you know, you never
know when that big league uniform is gonna get taken
off. You. So, uh you gotta take
, you just got to love, put on a
big league uniform each day and competing.
