After last year in Miami, said you had some stuff to figure out between then and now.
What, what do you think you, you figured out, if anything?
yeah, felt a lot, more comfortable on the mound tonight.
just one walk as opposed to the last couple outings.
so I think I fixed what I needed to fix as far as that goes.
Do you think that helped you just attack the zone a little more?
I think so, yeah.
forced the ball into play a lot, which was my main goal, not to try to nibble around.
had a lot of ground balls, some of them got through.
It's, it's a part of it.
some balls that looped over the infield, but it is what it is.
That's baseball, so.
What was it like seeing Kavinana get the call today and then also be able to throw today?
I was really excited.
I, I seen him at the hotel last night, so got to talk to him for a little bit.
and walking out of the bullpen before the game started, I told him, "Make sure to enjoy it.
You only get one of them, so make the most of it."
Tony described him as just, like, kind of fitting right in.
Mm-hmm.
What did you think of him defensively?
say it?
Tony described Drew as just kind of fitting right in behind the plate.
What did you think of him defensively?
Yeah, I agree.
threw to him a few times in Sacramento last year.
has a really good feel for the game, especially at bats too.
It's, it's easy sometimes, you know, you can look at percentages and wanna call something, but I think he has a really good feel for the at bat, and, you know, goes off that, which I like, so.
