 Aaron do you have any more information on stanton? No, not yet. We're we're kind of open now for the next couple hours. Well guys will be getting treatment But I wouldn't even imagine that decision will happen probably till tomorrow kind of see where he's at and get a feel of that I've not Aaron what do you expect the protocol will be for him today and hitting in the cage and so on What do you what do you want to see? Well, he hit in the cage yesterday, and it went pretty well But we kind of had it try as much as we could to stay away from testing it or doing those kind of things Obviously with the off-day today, so I'm not sure exactly what they'll run them through but You know we'll kind of see and then make a decision moving forward, but I don't really have much more information at this point kind of everyone's still sleeping Barry right behind Hey, buddy, what what's the pitching plans right now for Wednesday? For Wednesday will be kind of a bullpen day And and again kind of obviously depends a lot on what happens Tomorrow You know Jay Hap could very much be in the mix As well as I pictured our bullpen being being unleashed in that day So who's the opener? Oh, well, I mean that'll all depend in tomorrow how we use guys what we what the game ends up ending We'll kind of see where we're at going into the next day So did when you took green out as quickly as you did yesterday Was that in anticipation of the fact of what you have to do on Wednesday or was there another reason for? No that no because I mean we got days, you know a couple days ahead of that So no that that didn't factor into that So what was your in your thought process when you made that decision for green green time to be now? Yeah You know greenie had been through two innings at that point And just felt like we were set up to roll it out how we did and You know, I think overall it worked out pretty well, you know, we're up against it I think first and second one out there in the third down one nothing and We hold them do a run the rest of the game through the 10th inning so Not much more than greenie had already gone two innings liked Otto for that for that part of the lineup and felt like we we could roll it out pretty effectively from there Dan on the right side What have you been seeing from Sanchez this pretty much the whole postseason and is there a thought of? Moving him in the lineup at all Well, he's been hitting seventh so you want to move him up or down down down no no he's You know, I feel like last night. There were a couple pitches he got I felt like was all over but again put them on the net and those are the times Especially in the postseason when you're facing obviously great pitching, you know where every pitch is, you know So much poured into it when you do get a pitch You got to take advantage and he had he had a couple last night where I thought he got a zay swing off Even in that James at bat there was one one pitch He got down in the middle of the plate that he put a really good swing on that's the ball You got to take advantage of in the postseason because you because those mistakes are few and far between So he's just got to make sure he takes advantage of mistakes do a little bit better job of control in the zone And and we know, you know, he's one swing away from really changing the game George Aaron, how much is a weather report can impact what you do on the weather report for Wednesday impact what you do for Tuesday? Not a lot You know because you know, I think if weather becomes an issue where the game were to get wiped out Wednesday That kind of impacts what you do moving forward from there, but as far as Tuesday, you know, Sevee's going You know like our match up there feel like he gives us a great chance and But we'll you know kind of treat it aggressively and then trying to win that game. I Don't really see Wednesday leaking into that too much Bullpen wise you think you'll have everybody for Tuesday. I mean, yeah, I do a couple guys who gave you more than one I mean, yeah, you know, obviously we stretched Tommy a little bit green He gave us a couple, but but I would expect both those guys to be available What's the likelihood you would start Hicks in game two game three I would say there's definitely a chance of that, you know, obviously depends a little bit on John Carlo But Aaron is very much in play, especially now that we're here, you know, the center left combination of him and Guardi You know, it was good to get Aaron into the game last night Thought he had a good at bat looked like Aaron Hicks, you know So He'll very much be part of the conversation Moving forward can Aaron when you're going against a guy like Cole Are you boys the best picture in the game at this moment? How much do you modify your strategy your expectations? Just just going into the game Not a lot. I mean, we you know, we expect to to have success. We know it's gonna be tough You know the four o'clock game that the shadows will probably pay an issue as well make it make it difficult But hopefully as a group You know, we can have some success against them, you know, whether that's wearing them down a little bit Whether that's taken advantage of a couple of mistakes that we do get again expect Seve to go out and pitch really well So I don't know if it's deviate much because he's going, you know You've you've got to be on top of your game if you're gonna have success and that'll be our focus Ron, what do you see is the difference in Cole between early in the season when you faced him and he was merely very good to From June on when he's being unbeaten Maybe just in complete control and command of pitches You know his ability to not only maintain his stuff Throughout his outings You know the the ability to really pitch at the top of the strike zone with with his high-end fastball And really command it up there throw it, you know at the top or expand just enough to get swings And then a couple of electric breaking balls that he's just he's in a groove with and so I would say the biggest thing And always the separator for guys You know, especially guys with elite stuff like he has his command and he's commanding the ball You know as well as he ever has Brian Aaron, Ottavino hasn't seemed quite as sharp as he was earlier in the year Just wondering what do you think the reasons for that are and how does that affect your bullpen hierarchy here? He's got to play a role for especially in this series You know with their right-handed hitters You know, I think it just making sure the sharpness of the sliders there Again, you know, I know he comes in and gives up the first pitch home run yesterday, but On a first pitch ambush on a mistake, you know the definitely a pitch that he's he left up and out over the plate a little too much You know, but he does come right back with a strikeout weak ground or strikeout You know even going back to the last series where we put him in there against Cruz where it was kind of at bats Where he's not going to give in so I don't think he's as far off Maybe as as is being talking, but he's certainly not as sharp as as he's been most of the year But I feel like he's close to being that and and I think some small successes Hopefully we'll spur him on because he needs to play a big role for us Take just a few more mark on the right than Marley and then And Severino is just in here talking about things he's learned over his three years pitching the postseason and the biggest thing He said was just blocking out all the noise. How tough is that for anybody to do but let alone still a relatively young pitcher Who's you know, not ten years in the big leagues. Yeah, I mean, that's you know, another one of those little Separators this time of year, you know, you've got to be able to handle situations handle the moment handle adversity handle success on the fly And the one thing about savvy is I feel like he's He's he's he's been through a lot, you know as a as a young major Ligur, you know Lots of success some bumps in the road some stumbles an injury now this year Postseason experiences where he's fallen down where he's come back and dealt So I think hopefully all those things A quip him well hadn't in the tomorrow And and so far since he's come back from the injury, I feel like he's handled himself really well we saw in the Minnesota series where you know, he gotten about as big a jam as you can get in and I thought was in complete command of himself and of his emotions and Ultimately was able to execute and get out of a huge inning and give us a good outing. So I Very I feel like he's very equipped to go out there and whatever the result ends up being He's in command of the moment Erin is it fair to say that you guys have to be more careful with the young Carlos standing decision You know in terms of replacing him in the roster because you couldn't use it possibly in the world series Like if this was the first round it would be a little bit different But if if you replace them you certainly couldn't yeah, I don't I don't know about first round or now I mean obviously we understand if if we had to replace him then he's he's down for the rest of the postseason So, you know, it is a sensitive decision, you know a tough decision and hopefully we make the best decision But I don't know if this round changes that at all we'll just try and evaluate and You know try and get as honest as feedback as we can from John Carlo, which we he's on the same page With and and feel like we're having good communication there and Try and make the best decision for us moving forward Erin before Severino came back you left open the possibility of him possibly having a bullpen roll in the postseason Was there one part of you said everything's on the table? Mm-hmm Was there one thing you guys saw from him those last three starts where you said you were comfortable Giving him the ball in game three against Minnesota, and then obviously, you know tomorrow was there one thing that jumped out at you Um I Don't know about one thing the first off. I was company was healthy from the get-go from his first start back I thought he got a little sharper in the next one in the next one and then I Thought he did a really good job of you know coming back and all that came with that again of really staying in his delivery and controlling his his emotions and There was no doubt in my mind that he was You know sound and ready to go and ready to contribute for us heading into the postseason as a starter And feel like you know for all he's been through this year. I feel like he's in a really good place for us right now Dan Aaron headed to CC come out of last night. I mean I haven't talked to him today, but good Said he almost went down coming running into the bed running in the mound, which was you saw us get a laugh probably on the mound But it Came out of it fine last night I haven't seen or talked to him yet today and his happen play for for game three Out of the pull then or do you have him lined up for game four in a longer stretch? Do you know yet? That's something we haven't talked about yet you know With any of these games. I think anything's possible and certainly comes into play, but You know there's a good chance. He's obviously a big part of of game four We'll take just two last ones Brendan and then John John and then Barry no Barry so just your opinion when you're kind of the bullpen games are really unprecedented at this time of year and Especially when you're going up against teams that have deep starting pitching like Houston has and if you get to the World Series against Washington Washington certainly has you know Is this optimal for you or is just this is what you're doing the best with what you have? Well, I think one thing I've talked about a lot as we have a lot of confidence in our 12 and 13 pitchers. So It may look a little different Then then some other teams that are a little more traditional Although we're we can be traditional with you know, obviously running out Massa and and James and and Sevee But there's a lot of ways to skin a cat, you know and the bottom line is so far in the postseason through five games We've pitched really well including in last night's game where we lost so You know in the in the end you got to get 27 ounce last night we needed more than 27 ounce And we feel like we have a pitching staff capable of doing that at a high level I think so far we've shown that and Expect us to continue Thanks, Aaron. We'll see you tomorrow
