 Aaron before the game you said this team still controls its own destiny But with the way they have been playing in just 22 games left remaining Do you feel like your playoff chances are starting to slip away? No, no, absolutely not. I mean we just had a horrible home stand. It's not it's not okay You know, we're pissed off about it But we've we've been through this throughout the season, we're up against it again And we look forward to going out and turning this around tomorrow We know it can turn just as quick as it's it's gone sideways here over the last 10 days or so No, absolutely we expect to to get it rolling Obviously We needed it and needs to happen But we're in control of that When you look back at the last 10 games almost two weeks now, just why do you think it is long? sideways so quickly Well, I mean overall we've struggled offensively to to consistently put up runs when we've needed to you know obviously we've had some key guys go down, you know and and You know some guys have to leave game So, you know, we've been a little thin bullpen wise and and had to lean on a lot of guys So, you know, but that's part of it. I mean that's part of The attrition the adversity you're gonna face so in a major league season and you got to be able to navigate through it and and survive some of the tough times and obviously we're doing that right now, but You know, I have a ton of confidence in in in that group in there and and You know understand It's been bad this week, but you know, we've got a great opportunity in front of us And that that's not going to change after tomorrow or the next day and and then you'll get the same answer Erin you mentioned that bullpen and how thin you guys have been back there lately Score tied at to a piece you decided to go to Sal Romano Any consideration to using Chad brain in that situation to try to keep it even No, no, we're I was gonna close with Greeny today if I got to that point No, the Sal was up here. We like the matchup him against righties and and really, you know, he goes out there and he's Too quick outs. He's two strikes to Jansen and hangs a slider, you know going through the bottom of the order there we like the matchup and You know and then You know hits the next guy and and then Bo breaks is back to drive one in but no not not in that spot We're lined up there to go Jordan, you know, and then some combination of of Wandy and Greeny The idea of closing with Greeny. Is that a product of Chapman being in effective or no available or both? No, just Chappy was available But I was gonna be a little careful tonight and if and if I got to the end of the game with Wandy or Greeny tonight I would have closed with one of them tonight other questions Anyone else? Eric bowling Can you afford to keep running Haney out there? Yeah, I mean we we have to we have to we have to there's gonna be days We got to get something out of everyone Eric. I mean you're you cover us every day You know what we've been up against this week and the bottom line is like it's been, you know as when we started to play better baseball and It's taken everyone it's taken all 28 and certainly that's the case right now So there's gonna be days where you know We have to lean on somebody else in a given situation You know so yes Do you see anything confidence-wise with him? No, he's had the good out and he gets lost and he's had some moments here and there But it just seems like things don't go as way when he's out there. Yeah, I mean, yeah I mean, it's it's been a it's been a lot a little bit of product of You know he's been hurt obviously with the long ball He's been hurting some two-strike situations where he hasn't put a guy away or he hasn't executed a pitch But the ball is coming out how it should You know it but but again, it's about execution especially in those two-strike situations where he's gotten himself into a little bit of trouble Dan Martin you have the next question. Oh, and I know it's tough with the way the lineup and your defense is situated right now But do you you want to try to find more at bats for boy at this point? Of course Yeah, I mean we've I've been able for the most part through this stretch, you know He's gotten a lot of a lot of time in there and pretty much pinch hit every day So I feel like he has been getting somewhat regular at bats, but of course and and again I'd go to Think you understand the situation and now we're going into a National League situation where we're not gonna have a DH so it makes a little bit more challenging, but It also gives us more good options From a pinch hit standpoint going into this weekend from a National League setting, but you know Yeah, of course
