 Oh, it's it's it's always nice, you know, even though it's it's a home run. It's nice to get that first hit out of the way and you know to see I only swung the bat twice today. Just you know, it just shows up, you know I'm going off my spring training and swinging up balls in the zone and Not chasing anything and swinging in my pitches. So it feels good to get off to a good start and It was a lot of fun today Christie to the right again. Look, you talked a little bit about last year being last cut for the Cardinals not being there for opening day What were you doing opening day and and how does it compare to this? It's unbelievable, you know, who would have thought I would be here for opening day You know, I always thought I'd do it in a car in a uniform, but It was super frustrating and I ended up getting hurt last year and I missed and I missed opportunities to Get called up with St. Louis, but you know to have that first opening day and then home run opening day It's pretty special. You know, it's something I'll remember for the rest of my life staying on the right Do you have any issues with butterflies going through opening day and how quickly did they if you did go away when you made contact? Oh, you kind of get it like when you're in the hole and You know, especially when I get those Luke chance when we did, you know opening lineup on the field and stuff It's pretty special and But you know, I think baseball kind of kicks over when you get on deck You get in your routine and you know kind of once you get that first pitch Out of the way, you know, it's it's baseball whether it's now or you know, you know a game in July But definitely have them. It's you know fun playing here. You know in the Bronx in front of an awesome fan base Who else? Joel right behind you right behind you Luke I wonder have you had any pinch me moments since you got here because it feels like there hasn't been a downturn yet. I Think it was a pinching moment. I walked in this locker room the first time and it's all stars You know future all famers and hey, you know, you know playing with judge and stand and cc and guardie and you know Sanchez and two rookie of the years almost last year. I mean that was my first pinching moment and then you know hitting with Guys that won the home run derby every day and trying to hang with them every day So which is kind of frustrating sometimes when you feel like the baby of the group. So But I would say yeah, just kind of being around these guys and you know watching a lot of these guys, you know play when I was younger Brian Luke you talk about you'll remember this for the rest of your life What are the snapshots of today that you'll remember? Oh? Obviously, you know the home run and you know, it's always nice to get out to that lead So Masa can you know just keep using that splitter man and you know get ahead and it's you know I feel like it's a comforting for him to Have that confidence in us and you know, it's just awesome with the quality of bats We had today as a team like I feel like we have what six or seven walks today And it's really good for a lot of the guys because a lot of guys want to come out of the gate swinging and try to get That first hit out of the way and for that to happen I mean it's gonna be big because you know like the guys in front of me aren't gonna see a lot of pitches They're studs and for them to control his own today was really impressive
