 Xander congratulations and you want to just hold this for us my friend. Thank you so much. So check this out We just have Alex Corey. I think maybe there's a good place to start I know because Alex told me this earlier in the year first thing you did when he talked to you We challenged you he talked to you said hey, all right, you know, I know what you're capable of right of achieving You know with the greatest short stops in the game. How much did that inspire you? How much did that help you this year? I think him being a position player being a shortstop obviously helped me To get better especially defensively. He's helped me a lot position wise this year. We had a different philosophy about the defense I didn't I definitely help because in the playoffs we were we played a pretty great defense all around and Obviously just being a hitter. He wanted me to be more aggressive in some situations They helped out but some situations it didn't but most times they're not it didn't help How did Alex he was just here how you talk about all the communication the texting making you feel more comfortable Give us an example of how he made you better this year by communication I think I mean I have a little bit years in a big league now Maybe four or five and for him to be able to text you and be like hey, you know, when do you want off? You know, wow either today or tomorrow just plan ahead I mean that stuff that that obviously we never had and it's been amazing It's been amazing the communication He's he's had with us and I'm on a rest that he's been able to give us with a train of staff Okay, I know you you are one of the guys right there that have been around for the past five since you I remember when you first came up little kid and you were trying to figure things out Why change since last year approach to this year? I think last year I got injured pretty pretty bad and I kind of try to play through it and This year I got actually a similar injury and I didn't I played a little smarter and and got it rested until it Was healthy again, and I think that definitely was one of the biggest decisions I've made and that has helped me Maintain the whole the whole season, but actually winning this year and compared to winning in 13 We had him to do it all in 13 But this year we had a whole the whole lineup the bullpen picture staff everyone chipped in Unlike 30 where he did it all you never win by yourself. Oh, remember that You That's of course I was gonna ask you know losing this guy two years ago, but draw you down this year I mean, I'm sure you had to take more of a role as a leader I saw you guys come together true definition of team Was it four or five guys in the locker room that that took that step as captain leader or was it just one or two guys? Obviously Chris Hill. Yes, that kind of reminded me a lot about that speech that David had with us, you know In St. Louis and then Johnny Gomes coming hitting a home on that same evening. I kind of got some flashbacks from that Obviously it was a great game all around But those are memories that you you will never forget as a baseball player Kb it hurts me to say this because I bleed pinch stripes, right? But but your average age Starters 27 years old you may be looking at the start of a long dynasty. What are you thinking that the other day? I was thinking that the other day because we have so many guys that are young a lot of devils It's probably one of the youngest and and this is first year winning it also at first full season Hopefully we can keep all the guys around and and because it's this this is amazing team to the straight pen and races Division champs. It's been amazing ride. Xander. I wanted to ask you before we let you go You know the only game you losing this series was a marathon 18 innings But Nathan of Aldi's performance was one of the most inspiring I've ever seen in a post-season game And when he came out after the home run you guys all waited for him that to me Really showed me something can you just take me through that moment in time? Even though it was a loss and how that maybe could have bonded you here to give you I mean, he wasn't even scheduled to pitch that day. He was scheduled to pitch. I think today and He told almost a hundred pitches and he was pretty much dominant the whole night a ball that went by a few feet over Good swing by Moncy, but he pitched with everything he had his whole heart and I mean He's been incredible since he got traded and in a post-season. He was even better. Go enjoy it Xander. Thank you guys
