I mean, pretty solid.
Five, five innings, five K's, one earned run.
I mean, I'd take that at any day of the week anyway.
Definitely would like to, you know, give up less free bases, but, I mean, that's something we can work on moving forward.
Can you kind of take us through that third inning and, and finding a way out of that jam?
Yeah, I mean, I just kind of, probably was putting too much pressure on myself mentally.
Felt a little tight mechanically, and then, Cap came out, talked to me, and kind of noticed the adjustment I needed to make, and I was able to get out of it from there.
Well, you got close to a win there.
I mean, it just wasn't in the cards tonight to get that win, but, like, how do you, how does that What goes through your mind when you're, when you're seeing that, you know, it's there, but then all of a sudden it's gone, and that's, I guess, that's just how baseball is sometimes?
Yeah, I mean, that's just part of it.
And, you know, hopefully the next outing I'll be able to go out there and get a win, and that's what the team was able to do today as well was end up with a win.

A lot of more excitement, I'd say, getting to finally touch the mound here at Chase, so.
