 What will stand out most to you when you think back to that night thinning and how it developed and how it ended? Just our competitiveness You know we've been through a lot this year But the one thing I'm most proud of what these guys is is they always compete and You know the Gary at bat. I think is a great example of that. I mean if you fall behind oh and two against that guy Lay off some tough pitches battle battle and just miss when in the game It was a great at bat But just proud of the way they competed just Really sucks came up short Barry we'll get you the mic After the events of last night. What was your thoughts on keeping CC in the game as? Balls are hitting being hit harder and harder against them. I Was fine with with the way CC was throwing the ball, you know, he was at the two-out point We're gonna have him go through Bradley Simple as that. You just kind of knew we had our guys lined up enough that we could Especially had we got to that point we could we could get through the game I think it was the sound sound decision to move him allow him to go through Bradley at that point questions Ryan we'll get you like Aaron. It's it's always a Little surprising when you guys don't hit here, especially how shocking was it to see the way? Your offense was shut down not once but twice in this building. Yeah Yeah, I mean definitely frustrating and and you know, I think one of their goals in this series was to keep us in the ballpark and and then come in here Or we're so good at that they were able to do it and You know credit to them for being able to hold us down and shut us down But I mean in the end You know, you don't move on usually when you don't you can't get those enough big hits in a series and and they They just outplayed us a little bit my questions Ryan Aaron is there anything about the makeup or identity of the offense that Results in not being able to get the big hit that is something you guys are gonna have to take a look at Well, we want to continue to get better So we're chasing the perfect offense so You know as a major league athlete were we're chasing to be the best we can be And Unfortunately, it wasn't it wasn't good enough and we'll continue to work At getting to that point where we're as complete in every department as we can be offensively pitching defense But you're always chasing utopia, you know, you're chasing that Ken in the second row Aaron just to clarify with that third and you said you resolved to see she was gonna get Through Bradley as he got the second out that that's when you yeah, so three more bad Gosh, you gotta take me back now. Ken's we're got the Kinsler hit the ball and then Nunez has got the single right so and then who was named Bradley. Yeah. Yeah, so once You know he got Nunez, you know, it might have been the end of his night But once Nunez got the hit we weren't gonna go to the pen there. We were gonna let him face Bradley The lefty there. I guess the question is how seriously you consider what things he see earlier before Kinsler before Nunez. Yeah Not not serious at that point. I mean, we obviously we had we had we had Robbie up there, but No, not at that point. We're a hitter away Tyler Aaron when you talk about Chasing the perfect offense and being more complete. What kind of things would you like to see more? What do you think the offense needs more going forward? Well, I mean you're always chasing To be it the most complete hitter you can be to be you know to be the best base running team. I mean, I mean, that's we're chasing greatness here and I mean, that's better in every aspect better at getting on base, you know, better at slugging better at putting the ball in play all those things that That you work on as a hitter to be the best you can be Do four more start with mark on your right? Eric understanding you were comfortable with CC and the third at that point. Did you see anything change with him from that? You know from maybe those last three or four hitters Honestly Kinsler smoked the ball. I think Gardi got a little turned around there And then Nunez hit the ball hard But felt good about him facing Bradley for the last hitter there and then it would have been had he not gotten through there It would have been Robbie Once he did get through we wanted Britain to start that next inning and go through the top of their order Three more Danny Aaron in each of the four games of the series the team that had the better starting pitching performance one Is your rotation good enough to win a championship? Yeah, I mean it you know now going forward What's our rotation going to be obviously we have some some decisions a lot of things are going to happen between obviously now and next year but I think we're Right there knocking on the door to be that yes I mean, I think we're very close to being a championship club right now, you know We just got to continue to improve on the margins in every facet Pitching is one of those Mark Carrick And you mentioned them keeping you guys in the park Do you think that's a matter of execution just ebb and flow or is there something fundamentally about the type of players You guys need the target to be maybe more complete or you know, I guess what part of that you think rose To sort of keep you guys in the park Well, I think one is execution. I think they did a really good job of a game planning You know executing for the most part I Mean I Mean, I don't know. Do we need to be better? Of course, obviously but I mean, I don't know how to answer that question as far as it wasn't good enough, so We need to be better Simple as that As far as targeting, I mean, that's that's for the winner and you know as as the roster Changes and adds and subtracts and those kind of things and and hopefully we'll continue to work towards Having the most complete team we we can We'll finish up with John and the third row Aaron. How would you characterize Stanton series? He had a lot of chances in big spots for you Yeah, I mean he threw some hits out there You know a little a little up and down had some good at bats, you know got on base a little bit Obviously had some chances You know that you know some Some chances where he could have made a big difference with a big hit or or whatever and and it just didn't happen in this series And you know, that's that's part of it. But you know, that's also why we have nine guys It's not all about one guy and We just weren't able to get enough Aaron, thanks for everything and we appreciate it. Yeah
