Roger, in square position, like, how do you-- when that gets you, how do you fight through moments like this?
I don't know, just trusting ourself.
like it's Ju-- it's still early June.
There's a ton of season, left.
and it's gonna go one of two ways, so, I f-- I feel like the best thing we can do is just stay the course and, keep, putting our best foot forward, which, you know, I think we've, we've done as a team a lot this year.
just keep competing.
You guys have played in more games than anyone in baseball, decided by two or fewer runs.
Just how do you make it-- how you guys do compete in these types of games?
Yeah, I mean, our pitching's really good, man.
So we're, you know, in every game.
you know, in the last, week or so, we've kind of been on the losing end of that.
That's, obviously not ideal.
but I mean, we're gonna, we're gonna keep having our chances, you know.

just reading, reading down angle.
yeah, just, just making sure I see the ball down.
