 Yeah, I felt like I never left. Everything felt good. Felt like my abats were good and seeing the ball well. That's all you can really ask for. You know, coming back after missing that many weeks. So I'm excited with the start. You know, we got the win. It's got to keep that rolling. You had just two simulated games where you saw live pitching. Was there any part of you that was worried about how you were going to see the ball? And if you were going to be able to adjust offensively? No, it's like riding a bike. That's what I'm getting paid to do, is help the Yankees one game. I just had to see a couple of bats, and then I knew after my first day doing simulated abats that I was good to go. Who else? Andy, all the way in the back, and Billy? You said a couple of days ago, and obviously the fracture itself isn't going to be totally better, technically, until maybe the offseason. But does that actually affect the way you swing or feel or perform in a game? Or are you at the point where maybe you have some pain, but you're basically yourself doing your thing? Yeah, we still got some pain. There's going to be some pain probably to the offseason, but it's something that I can deal with, and it's not affecting my swing or anything like that. So that's why we kind of move forward and start doing abats and finally get me in a game. Billy, how do you explain looking so much better tonight than you did in the simulated game today? I feel like I look pretty good in the simulated game. I don't know, Billy. I don't know. Journal Lynn, that's the biggest thing, getting in front of our fan base. But I felt like I was taking good abats all day, so that's why I told our training staff, told Cash, like I'm going to be in the lineup tonight. Eric and Joel. Aaron, what was the most frustrating part to your right? To your right, sorry. What was the most frustrating part of being out for as long as you were? Just not grinding with my team. That's the biggest thing. That's what I love to do through the good times, through the bad times. I want to be in the trenches with my guys. So I'm missing out on that. The ups and downs, that's what I miss the most. And we've got to finally be back there, especially. We got down early to Boston, and this team continues to fight, so I love being finally back in there with them and getting the win. So the right again, Joel. Two things, did you recognize because of the way the rain changed the start of the game, that that gave you an option today that you might not have had otherwise to play, starting today? And can you take us up behind the scenes a little bit about how you found out and how much lobbying you did to play today instead of wait another day? I told them after the first day I did simulator at bats on the off day that I'm good to go. I'll be playing tomorrow. But it has to go through the training staff and everybody, and then after today, I did a simulated game this morning. I told them once again that if the game's a one or if the game's a seven, I'm going to be in there. So that's all, that's all I really was. Clap again to the right. Aaron, just a moment ago, your manager was saying that you were a presence in the dugout. There was an edge to you. Do you know what that means? Can you explain that? No, just keeping the guys motivated, keeping the guys locked in the game. You know, it was a tight game. You know, Valdy was pitching really well against us and the biggest thing is just, hey guys, keep grinding. You know, it's a one-nothing game and we're going to come back and win this. Keep having quality at bats, you know. That's all it was, just keep trying to have quality at bats and get the next guy up there. You know, if we continue to do that, we're going to eventually win that game. Yeah, it's tough when you're not playing. You know, to try to tell a guy who's out there grinding his butt off, hey, come on. Keep it up, let's go. You know, when you're sitting on the bench, you know, sitting eating some flour seeds, chewing gum, you know, it's kind of tough, but it's a little easier to do that and kind of get into some guys when you're out there fighting with them. Randy, front-left. What time did you leave your place today and get to the ballpark and did you stay here all day? And also when they last at bat, the check swing, did you feel anything there and did you think that was a ball? I got here pretty early, pretty early in the morning and the check swing, nah, nothing. I was just mad that I went, mad at that swing at that pitch. Yeah, I was here. Coley in the middle. Aaron, have you thought about what this team can be with you fully in it into October going into the postseason? We're still missing, you know, missing Chappie. I know I feel like if we get Chappie back, you know, for the very end of our bullpen and the guys keep swinging the bats, you know, start getting hot here, we're gonna be a pretty big force, you know, and we just gotta keep, this is a time to get hot. You know, there's no time to wait. You know, it's not, we can't wait till the postseason and try to flick a switch and fire things up. You know, we gotta start right now. So I feel like that's something that we're about to go on right now. So it's the best time to get hottest right now. So looking forward to tomorrow. Take two more, Dave, to the left. Aaron, I think for the past two months, the biggest question was, you know, not only are we gonna be back, but like to what level could you be able to play? You know, would you be yourself? Do you feel like you yourself now? Do you feel like you normally would? There won't be a compensation for the hand or anything like that? No, like I said earlier, I felt like I didn't even miss six, seven weeks. You know, when I stepped in the box, you know, after, you know, the first that bad, I knew. So I was confident, you know, I was confident on the off day when I came in to get some of my bats. You know, I knew, I was like, hey, I'm gonna be in there. So let's get this thing moving. Last one, Christie back middle. When you told them that you were gonna be in the lineup after the sim game, did you, were you in the lineup or did they come to you later? How did you find out you were actually going to get to play? They came to me later, you know, but, you know, I don't make the decisions. You know, I'm just getting paid to play. So, but I just voiced my opinion, you know, a lot and I think they kind of got tired of me telling them I'm gonna be playing. So they finally said, let's put them in there and see what happens.
