 13 strikeouts no walks retired the last 12. You faced in your mind. What was the key in navigating yourself for the Orioles lineup? Well, I thought that we played good. I thought Jay made a great play in the first said kind of you know cut the momentum down there I mean one probably doesn't kill us, but you know, it was nice to get out of there unscathed bit fortunate and then I thought that we just kept them off balance and Made a lot of good pitches You know came in the zone. I think sometimes when they weren't expecting and You know got him to got him to chase off of you know, you know good pitches, but you know back to back Erin Boone talked about the consistency you had with your fastball it hit 101 tonight Did you feel like you had particularly good command of your fastball tonight compared to the first start? Yeah, it was it definitely improved, you know started off with I think a ball in the grass in the first inning so that's not ideal, but It improved that you know, I thought we had pretty much three quadrants pretty well tonight And we were able to pressure the other one with some off-speed offering. So You know, we use the zone pretty effectively Go next to Andy Martino Garrett is it any easier to be consistent with the delivery out of the gate in a season this year? Given the fact that it was normal spring training no two-month layoff or whatever. Do you feel? More like you'd want to feel at the beginning of a season and you did a year ago. Yeah, I mean it feels much more normal Last year was last year was certainly challenging But you know not that not that every year doesn't come with its challenges But you know, I've done this this progression for a while now. So it's more comfortable doing this And also the just the increased use of that change up over the last couple years in these first two games Is that something that you came into the season with just by design? You wanted to be a little bit had that percentage up or is that feel the game and reading swings? Yeah, I think diving the opportunities presenting itself You know and and we're just you know trying to always evolve and You know, I think last year when you know, some other pitches weren't working we were kind of forced to to try to find opportunities to attack the strike zone with it and I think We just kind of continued that mentality So you built some confidence in it last year Yeah, yeah, I mean You know, I used it sparingly 18 and 19 of their days would be days would be good. So, you know, we'd lean on it, but You know, I it's kind of a blessing in disguise to a certain extent, you know being forced to use it in some situations last year and and You know trying to identify better reads and opportunities to throw it. So, you know, just trying to get better Tom Mariam, please unmute Garrett does it feel different pitching the second time out in the season as opposed to the opening game bench? Yeah, I mean, yeah, well opening day is kind of you know, it's kind of a one-off so You know, it's it's still feels early, but it's you know, it was night game felt felt felt different than opening day Pete Caldera go ahead Unmute that bad boy PD. Yeah, I love it. We'll come back to you, PD. Dan Martin I think I know what people wanted to ask you. You got Taillon going tomorrow given your relationship with him What what is that going to be like to be able to watch him finally make his return to the Mount? That's it's Yeah, it's gonna be special, you know, but I think I Think we'll you know put the emotions aside and just try to get after the Orioles first And hopefully Have a bourbon or two on the plane if it's a good day and maybe three or four if it's a bad day All right Justin Shackle, please unmute Yeah, was was this your best performance since arriving in New York? It's hard to say, you know It's hard to say Cleveland was pretty good You know there was some There's some yeah, Cleveland was pretty good, you know the rays I mean, I know the line doesn't look the same, but I think I pitched against them eight times last year So it's kind of kind of gets tough and you gotta face somebody eight times in like nine weeks, but It was it was a good day today, so You know it was it was certainly Certainly good day Ron Blum, please unmute Do you find yourself more comfortable here in your second go-around and we more comfortable Let's say in Houston the second year and how does that help you so? Oh Yeah, well, I certainly think definitely more comfortable You know, I don't know. I don't know if Houston's a good comparison because there's no place like New York, but certainly Certainly, you know Just teammates wise socially wise It's been a lot easier than you know inserting yourself into a new team into the environment that we had last year and You know more normal setting more normal season people in the stands It's definitely it's definitely more normal. So therefore yeah, I did feel a little more comfortable for sure
