The audio guide too?
I guess.
How important was it for you to come out and have a, a clean one just after last night ended?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, super important.
I, you know, feel like I had a good plan going in, me and Cav, and kind of executed it well.
Just wanted to stay up in the zone today.
They were attacking everything low last night.
So, just tried to switch it up on them and ended up working out.
So, yeah.
It's obviously a very hot and humid night.
Were you feeling the effects of that all on the mound, especially during that fourth inning?
Yeah.
You know, obviously we're not used to that, kind of weather, pitching in SF.
I don't, I don't know if there's any better weather to pitch in other than SF, so, but yeah.
It was, it was, brutally hot, but just had to, you know, fight through it and, just compete.
So Horwitz said that he clipped you on the foot, ankle.
Which, which- It was in the shin.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I don't- That affect that fourth inning at all?
Not really, no.
It didn't really bother me other than give me flashbacks of last year a little bit.
I think it was around the same time too.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it didn't, it didn't bother me at all.
Jefferson's been on kind of a heat recently.
Yeah.
Just kind of been like to, to watch him work recently.
Yeah, incredible.
I mean, w- everybody knows that's the guy he is, so, just hoping that he continues to do that and, it He's playing unbelievable right now, so swinging the bat really well.
What's impressed you the most about Bryce?
I mean, he's still 21.
Yeah.
It's kind of easy to forget that.
Just, just the year he's had, the, the, progression he's made.
Yeah.
I think what's impressed me the most is he doesn't play like a 21-year-old.
You know, he, he controls the zone.
He knows what to do.
He can go both sides of the, the field and, has a good head on his shoulders, so super excited for him and super excited to, to see him continue to develop.
But yeah, he's, he's gonna be a, a superstar if he isn't already.
