 just another win for us this week you know against a very good team so you know we wanted to keep it rolling today I was able to come out and you know get us a win but the guys won the bats early play some great defense you know Gary called a great game and we were to get this week just the 14th player in Major League history to have 250 wins 3,000 plus strikeouts when you look at some of the company in that group what do you think it's crazy you know to put my name up there with some of those those guys that I like and you know some of those those names that are like you know and trying to baseball history you know and to be a part of that you know it's a big deal it's a it's fun to have those numbers I guess Aaron Boone just said you're a lock as a Hall of Famer I know you don't like to talk about it while you're still playing that much but just to hear people say that about you and your career is what do you make of that yeah I mean I mean that means a lot and you know I was talking to Sweeney you know I think last year and you know just for that to have somebody mention your career as being a Hall of Famer career means a lot so you know I've been best blessed to you know play with some on some great teams being around some great organizations some great players and you know a lot of just rubbed off so yeah I mean it feels good to to have those numbers again you left side Kenny on third row CC does it make it more special to have this to complete a sweep against your top rival yeah for sure I think that's the biggest thing is you know coming out today and getting that sweep especially the way we did you know you know getting that 12 to 1 win you know making a statement that you know we're pretty good team and we want to keep going and also I'm sure you would have preferred to do this in your first shot at 250 but to do it here in New York with your family all here is that does that make it extra yeah it's extra special for sure I mean you know having my kids be old enough to you know really recognize and know what's going on and you know what I'm trying to do means a lot obviously having kids so young was hard but having them around now and being able to enjoy these special moments means a lot Brian on the far right see this was your fourth try at it how much was this kind of weighing on you and and were you thinking about it to be honest none I mean it was just you know not not putting up good games and you know having a team chance to win is the biggest thing you know I told you guys earlier I didn't really care about 250 and I really didn't mean that you know I just want to go out and pitch well and and help this team help this team win games do you think 3,000 meant more to you than 250 I mean I guess just to get a win so many things have to go right you know I think I feel like when you strike in when you know strikeouts is kind of you but you know for the team that went it's the team win more so than is you know yourself so yeah I don't know just just one of those things where you know I feel like when the team wins or when I win a game is this because of you know everybody else Mark same thing I ask your manager about you I'll ask you how have you been able to do this so well for so long just being blessed for sure you know like I said I've been able to play with some great players and have some of those guys are above all me like Andy Pettit you know Mariano Rivera Rivera just thinking about the second half of my career learning the cutter and you know where that's taking me you know if I hadn't learned that pitch in 2014 I probably be out of the game so to have those two willing to help me and willing to tutor me means a lot and what do you remember about your first win my first win I remember I didn't even know I won the game until Dave Berber came up to me was like hey it's your first win I think I went five innings gave up five runs and we scored in the top of the sixth to give me the win you know I was so young I hadn't I hadn't figured all that out yet you know so yeah I just remembered not knowing I won the game until Berbs came up to me was like hey congratulations your first win. Coley in the front. Cece you were just mentioning that you know wins are more of a team kind of a accolade so to speak what does that say about the teams that you've been on that you've had this many yeah I mean I could say that more you know about the organizations and teams that I played on you know to have this many wins you know you got to be on some good teams and those ending years playing with some of those guys in the organization obviously going to Milwaukee you know and having that run there but being able to come here and be on some great teams from the start really allows you to go out and you know put up these kind of numbers I guess. Meredith Cece after last start you talked a lot about the cutter and how it wasn't quite there the group felt a little different what did you do in between starts to kind of find that comfortable grip and did it feel a lot better this afternoon. Yeah it felt great today it felt like it was on the way back you know just in between starts I bus out with the baseball all the whole time and just play with my thumb on the ball and you know figured out a good comfortable spot to kind of you know move my thumb to get that good feel of you know where I left the ball goes going cut and I was able to get that done and you know two days ago I threw the bullpen and the cutter was pretty good and you know I was excited about coming out here today. Bob on for that was my question fantastic Kenny on the left. C.C. what goes through your head when you get the six nothing lead in the in the bottom the first. Just it's still so early that you know that's a great lineup a great team so I'm still focused on you know trying to get the team back in the dugout to score more runs is what I'm thinking is you know let's have a quick inning you know and get back get back in the dugout and try to put some more pressure on their pitchers. And then in the fifth I think you thought fans really thought you had strike three on a fan I believe and then and they score the run it you have to take a deep breath or anything there one out before it's an official win. Oh no I wasn't thinking about none of that I was just worried about you know trying to get out of that inning and having the top of their lineup come up and you know off the medals is even though he's a lefty still a good hitter so I was more concerned that just trying to make pitches to get him out than than I really was that you know having a chance at the win right then. C.C. on the right second row. C.C. Aaron mentioned that he saw you giving him a big stare when you're walking back from the sixth did you really want to go back out there for the seventh. Yeah for sure I mean he caught that right away as I was walking off you know I felt if I'm out when I'm out there you might as well just let me keep going. So yeah I mean I always want to be out there and you know he always ask me how I feel and I'm always tell him yeah I mean I feel good I'm ready to go so that's just I guess a part of my competitiveness and wanting to be out there. Last one from Cole in the front. C.C. we talked about this after 3,000 but there you are again with Ferguson Jenkins and Bob Gibson does it mean to be number three as far as African-American pitchers all time to get to 250. Yeah that's a huge accomplishment that means a lot you know being you know African-American pitcher being you know from the inner city and you know wanting this game to grow again back in inner city you know having a chance to put up these numbers and see some of these kids know that I'm from where they're from and you know I love this game of baseball hopefully it opens some doors for some kids to open their eyes to start playing the game. Thank you C.
