 into the fifth you end up having base runners in each inning. How would you describe your outing today? Yeah, I felt good. I thought the stuff was fine. Got Nicklin dime a little bit. Just got some some hits that found holes but I was able to limit the damage a little bit and at least keep us in it enough to give our offense a chance there to kind of bust it open. A few things to work on going into next game. I want to get better just consistently throwing the fastball down in a way to righties but overall I mean I thought it was a fine fine outing and I'll clean some things up. You said a few things to work on besides the fastball down in a way to righties. Are there other things you're gonna try and work on? Yes in the fifth inning I threw a couple cutters down in a way to righties which I had never done before so that's something that I'm gonna start focusing on going forward and the curve balls missing a little bit low. They had some great takes on some really competitive curve balls but just landing that pitch a little more would be big. When you get Gutierrez up in the zone in the fourth and then get Mullins on one pitch are you thinking that's going to propel you forward and you might even be able to get deeper into this game? Yeah yeah we got some quick outs there and then go out for the fifth and just had some traffic. I would have loved to have keep going but obviously when you have seven hits given up hit batter and a walk there's you know I understand going to the bullpen right there and then Castro came in and made some huge pitches. You struck out O'Dore on curve balls in his first two at bats you said you understood going to the bullpen. Were you gassed at that point or you just knew that Boone had other options? Yeah I still felt really good. I was hoping maybe if I got Hayes there to get a shot at the sixth but yeah I felt really good but you know you have a bullpen like ours and you have a guy like Castro coming in the fifth inning. I mean that's a luxury to have right there so that's probably more of why I understood it just because of the options that we have back there. Good teams need to dominate at home you guys just finished a 6-0 homestand you're 10-3 in the Bronx. How would you describe the way this team feels about itself right now? Yeah yeah I mean back to back sweeps and you know both teams weren't rolling over or anything like that. I think the offense put up 10 runs and four of the six games definitely three of the six. We got contributions from everyone up and down from different guys in the bullpen from different guys in the rotation so just a lot of complete efforts some great defense throughout the series so yeah I mean I think more than anything it's that it's coming from all guys on the roster not just a few. It helps to be on a team like this too when you walk off the mound trailing in the game thinking that it's not over. Yeah yeah you know starting pitchers job like the age-old thing is like keep your team in the game and for this team I really feel like that rings true like if you give this lineup a chance to get something going you know they're gonna break out at some point so if I can hold them you know one two three runs hopefully start pitching into the sixth and go deeper and stuff but if you keep them one two or three runs like you really have to like your chance to win.
