You know, when you're, you're playing uh against
a team like the Mets who are chasing the same
thing we are, they're going to take advantage of
, of some of the extra outs. Um Some
of the mis misguided pitches, some of the situations
where we potentially could have finished off some hitters and
when you don't do that, uh, teams linger
and they put up big numbers and that's what we
saw today. Brandon for me, didn't, didn't
have his best stuff. He was out there competing
as he always does. Um I get, I
just take it for granted. I keep telling you
guys he's going to pitch into the sixth inning.
I thought he had good enough stuff to do that
today. Um I thought it was more four scene
fastballs and two scene fastballs, uh the curveball over
the sweeper. So he's following a little bit of
a game plan, but they attacked and they did
a good job. We gave him those extra outs
and those extra outs equaled unearned runs. That's not
what we do here. The D backs beat the
D backs in a couple of situations today. It
wasn't the reason why we lost the game though.
I think a little bit of, um, unfamiliar
territory comes in with the bases gassed and, and
very little wig wiggle room and, you know,
to be expected. Um, you, you just
don't know what it's gonna feel like when you get
into that environment in that situation. Once he got
through that first inning, I thought he did a
good job attacking the zone. The bottom line is
, we're playing good baseball. Well, I want
the guy, these guys to flush it. They're
, they're in there recalibrating. They're, they're in
a good spot. They know what they gotta do
to come out here tomorrow and just, and just
flush this one the best way they can. They're
gonna, they're gonna self, uh, evaluate and
I'm, I have all the confidence in the world
that we're gonna come out and play a really good
game tomorrow.
