 Thread throughout your bats the last two games I think we've we've controlled the zone well and and again up and down So everyone's kind of having a part in it making it making the the other pitcher really work And just kind of grinding through those at bats and then you know in those big spots We've been able to come through with a big hit to have that big inning or and to keep piling on Got a couple balls out of the ballpark today, but just up and down You know good plan Execution and then up and down guys making it hard. What's key to and do ours consistent excellence? It's got a great swing. I mean, I mean, that's that's a swing that First time I saw it, you know, that's that's a special look in the box You know, I feel like very versatile can handle a lot of different pitches Can't just be pitched one way Not a lot of holes and And I think what's been impressive is his ability to make adjustments so he's shown a Real I think intelligence in the box for such a young player to be able to understand what what teams are doing to him he picks his spots where he'll go up and look for something and It's just a very I mean Obviously, there's power great bat speed, but it's a really good swing that he lays the bat in the hitting zone for a long time Would you see from Severino today? Better I thought he came out on the attack early I Thought there was some real urgency, especially in that first inning. I thought the fastball was much better today much crisper You know, he had a couple strikeouts on change-ups in that first inning a couple really good pitches But I thought today with his fastball When he made when he missed with his fastball, he was missing how you want to miss, you know So, you know, he walked a couple guys, I think and had some deeper counts where he was Just off the edge with his fastball, but not making mistakes in the center of the plate with his fastball But that said, I thought it was a lot crisper today, too I thought the change up in the slider were at times pretty good pitches still a little bit inconsistent there but All in all, I thought he threw the ball really well, so how is Romain rose good He you know, obviously You know anytime yet you see that Went through the testing and stuff on the field and deemed he was okay Then we took him down in the tunnel in between innings You know felt like he was okay, but just seeing the video and seeing him kind of stumble like that We just wanted to be careful and then we got him with the doctor had his scat test Passed that and and he's in he he seems to be pretty good right now So we'll continue to monitor him and and see how he's doing, but I think he's I think he's okay Well, Stan Given the catching situation right now How important is it that you still have him if not tomorrow then Charlie thereafter? well, I mean he's he's huge for us obviously right now and and not just right now anytime, but Higgy will catch tomorrow Regardless Even if he comes in and he's he's good to go Higgy will catch tomorrow and then with the off-day Monday, you know, hopefully You know, he's he remains symptom-free and and it's not a big issue But like I said, we'll continue to monitor them and follow him closely and see where we're at As the hours unfold, but right now He seems to be fine Dave Aaron you seem to suggest a little bit that Severino is still kind of a work in progress I mean he didn't get it out in the sixth today, which is obviously like longer. Yeah Out of him. Is that accurate to say he's still trying to work through some things or I mean, yeah But you know credit to them a little bit, too, you know, I They worked some deep counts. They made him work a little bit So to drive that pitch count up to where he wasn't going to be able to go any more than six Even if he went out and had a clean inning there But no, I thought he did a lot of things well today And I thought a giant step in the right direction And I just I liked his pace. I liked his demeanor I thought there was some aggression I thought I thought he was really focused and on the attack and really made it a Priority to come out especially with the fastball and really drive it in the zone and and Like I said, I did a good job of when he missed with his fastball. It was off the plate It wasn't it wasn't a mistake in the center. He avoided that for the most part today, Ryan Aaron as you guys go through this period without judge and without Sanchez What has the consistent production of Stanton meant to you guys? Wow, he's I mean, you know, he's an elite level player, you know an impact Player in every you know sense of the word So, you know as we've you know gone through obviously beat up a little bit and missing some guys, you know, it it's Important that guy step up and you know, he's a big reason why we've been able to continue to win games and You know, he's been right in the middle of so much of it And then you know another strong day for him today I mean, you almost don't even notice them today when he throws a couple out there in a home run, you know, it's almost like I don't want to say I take it for granted because I don't it but it It's been really needed and through a tough time and necessary and and You know, it's fun to see him go out there and and have big-time success Kevin to the left How difficult is it for Walker to do, you know to make that switch and you know, there's some tough plays We saw it again today and yeah, I mean you survive like that. Yeah Well, first off walks a pro and and and I think he's he's put a lot of work in that the willingness and the Kind of the want to to kind of hey, whatever we need right now He understands we're you know, we're in a little bit of a unique situation So I think what he's been able to do out there. He's actually played it Played really well out there, you know a couple mistakes, but all in all, you know I think he's he's probably surpassed what I I thought he'd be able to do just going out there kind on the fly You know, he's he's started to get his work in obviously with with Reggie And kind of preparing him, but you know, he's filled a lot of roles and I think his versatility Has been really important for us, especially as you know We're or a couple guys down right now just the ability to play all of it over the infield and the willingness to go play in the Outfield to try and keep his bat in the lineup You know, I think he's done. I think he's done a nice job out there Dan How important was the home run for bird and you know before that he had had a rough day getting boot again kind of Yeah, not being able to make a scoop on a ground ball Did you sense any of this getting to him mentally? No, no, I don't sense that The one thing I thought I saw today was more aggression in the strike zone and and eventually it manifested itself with that home run I don't feel like for you know a week or ten days or so I've seen that you know kind of club head speed through the zone that impact through the zone And I felt like all day today He was really working to let that go and I thought even though he didn't have the results to that point I thought we saw some better swing some more impactful swings with a chance to do damage And then in the end he's able to ride one out of here. So hopefully that's something that You know he can build on But I think it's important that we continue to see that That aggression in the strike zone
