 Aaron Boone just mentioned not having the cutter tonight, but why did you think it was such a grind for you out there? That was a big reason, you know, just you know, just wasn't there, you know, wasn't moving a lot You know, so kind of try to figure something out in between Today and you know Wednesday to try to you know make that pitch a little better You talked about that pitch a little bit after the last start as well when you rely so heavily on it What can you do in between starts to try to get it back to where it should be? I just I feel like I need to just play with the ball in my hand just get a good grip again You know my grip fills off everything about it fills off so Yeah, working between starts, you know pretty much every day to make sure that it's back where it needs to be Since you've found that pitch when you went through the rough patch where you were trying to develop that pitch Have you gone through a stretch where the grip has felt off and things haven't felt right with it? Yeah, yeah, I've had stretches like this not for like two games like this though You know it'd be a couple periods of during the game, but you know, this is the longest stretch So I'll do something in between to try to fix it Frustrating is it to be going through something like this when the rotation right now is kind of struggling overall in terms of giving length? Yeah, I mean this is tough, you know, especially you know, like you said, you know What what that's not pitching where right now you want to go out and try to help the team and you know I just wasn't able to do that tonight You guys played so well for such a long time with all the injuries. Do you sense any of that is catching up here Is there just fatigue from the efforts you guys? No, it's just a long season, you know, we've had a bad 10 days You know, but you know this team is very capable of doing what it did You know before that and getting back to where we were so I think we'll be fine Everything okay with the knee still? Yeah
