Yeah.
you know, not how we wanted to end that, that long road trip.
but, you know, I think, you know, really they got the scoring going in that one inning and, and, you know, it seems like they were pretty aggressive on Emerson there in the, in that, in that inning, and able to get some balls through the holes and, and, you know, really put together quite an inning and, and, you know, just weren't able to bounce back from that.
you know, Nails just, you know, fouled it off his shin there, got him pretty good and, and, you know, just wanted to, to get him out of there.
I, I think, you know, he's, he's checked out fine.
The X-rays are negative, so, I think, you know, just a chance for him to, to make sure he was okay and, get him off of his feet for the rest of that one.
And, and, Mooney with a little bit of lower back tightness there.
you know, kind of started to tighten up on him on, in that, when he came out there to, to get started.
So, you know, day to day on that as well.
so, you know, one to, you know, to move on from, get back to Seattle and, and, get back to work.
How excited are you to get home?
Yeah, I mean, extremely excited.
you know, it's been a long one and, and, you know, we're excited to get back to T-Mobile, to, to our fans, to, you know, to, it's a friendly environment and, and, you know, feel the electricity there again and, and, you know, turn the page here and, and, get rolling.
How do you, how do you kind of assess this road trip?
There were a few really good moments, but also some struggles in the field.
You obviously took quite a few hits as well from injuries.
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's, it, it was a long one in terms of, you know, just personnel.
in, in terms of injuries, guys getting dinged up a little bit and, you know, that always makes, you know, a little tricky.
you know, you lose your consistency a little bit in the lineup and, and, you know, those things are gonna happen.
Those, those stretches are gonna happen from time to time and, and, just seemed to hit us here on the road trip.
And, you know, that's why it'll be good to get home, get, get an off day tomorrow to rest some of the injuries and, and, you know, then, then come back and, and be ready to go on Tuesday.
Offensively, you guys did look pretty good early.
things might have been a little different if Julio's ball falls, Dom's ball up the middle.
Just kind of speak to the approach offensively early.
Yeah, I thought, you know, they, they were gonna go with that, the opener there and, and I thought the at bats were, were really good just to start the ballgame.
I, I, I was shocked that, that Julio's ball didn't go out of the ballpark.
I thought he, you know, it was a great approach and, and, you know, hit that ball on the line hard and, you know, was very surprised that, that, it didn't go out of the ballpark.
But, you know, still able to pick up a run there.
Nails with a, a really good at bat driving that ball into left center.
so, you know, some, some good at bats there and, and, but you know, Iglesias was able just to, you know, to, to keep us off stride.
We just weren't able to kinda, barrel him up and, and, just, you know, kept us, kept us guessing and, and, just weren't able to, to get anything going offensively with him.
