Swinging but play.
Yeah, um, I believe in myself a lot to make plays.
Um, it's one of the things I pride myself in a lot and uh.
The, um, the not so funny part about that was we practiced that before the game and, uh, we actually worked on those exact things, throwing to the catcher and so, uh.
That's, it's probably the first time we've done that in a while.
We practiced it today and I butchered it.
So, um, yeah, looking back on it , you know, I need to eat that ball.
I need to not, uh, risk the throw.
Knowing that, you know, we're going to come up at the bottom of the next inning and have a good chance to tie the game if that's the only run I give up.
So, um, bad mistake on my part, uh, but in the moment, I believed in myself 100% I'd make the play and even watching it might sound crazy, but I still think it's possible if I make a good throw there, I get him out at the plate and, uh, everything's different because of that.
So, um, yeah, it's just belief in myself to make plays and, uh, gotta learn from it, learn from it.
The smart thing is eating the ball.
