 Um, I mean, he's he's obviously really good pitcher in the middle of a really good year, you know, that fastball split combination makes in the breaking ball a little bit. But, um, you know, I thought the first time through against him with, you know, we're having good at bats. DJ right out of the shoot smokes a ball to center. I thought we're on some pitches, you know, working tough at bats, but then he kind of settled in and I mean, we just weren't able to amount enough against a good pitcher. You know, you got to find a way. You mentioned early, you thought they were good at bats. Did you feel like that at bat quality declined as the game went on? I don't know. I thought there were some good ones sprinkled in there. Um, you know, I thought everyone, you know, at least, you know, for the most part took a couple of good at bats. Um, but still, you know, I mean, we got to score and, you know, we got we got to find a way, you know, I mean, you know, it's one thing that, you know, be having the occasional good at bats. And when you're up against a good pitcher and a good team, you know, you got to do a little bit better and we're we're we're grinding and struggling right now. And another shutout. Just how do you explain what's happened to this offense? Yeah, it is, you know, it's it's surprising. Um, it is baseball, but we got to do better. I mean, we all know it. You know, I feel like the guys are working. We're prepared, but, you know, we got to go out and execute and continue to try and turn over leaves where, you know, we can find on the margins to get a little bit better because we're, you know, scuffling as a group right now. Marley. Aaron, through this tough time, what what is there left to do or to say to a team? Are there simple things that you can be like this? This could get us going. Simple things that you can change right away. I would have done that. Um, you know, so we're working hard as as a group. I feel like the players are are preparing the right kind of ways. Um, you know, I feel like the coaching staff is preparing hard. Um, and, you know, we're kind of looking at every little possible. You know, we've, we've spoken in groups, um, you know, had some individual conversations. Um, but, you know, we should be ticked off right now and we need to, we need to start playing better, playing it simple. Meredith. Do you get the sense that they are ticked off right now? I do. Um, you know, I also think and, and one of the things, you know, we preach is, is having that consistency and being able to, you know, you know, kind of be able to handle the good and the bad. Um, but you should be a little pissed off right now. You know, we're, we have a really good team and it's been long enough now to where it's been an extended period of struggle. We need to do better. It's now down to eight. I don't give a crap about the late play better. We'll handle it. I mean, we can talk about that eight, nine, seven, 10. We need to play better. I mean, if we play like this, it's not going to matter anyway. You know, it's like we handle our business. We're in a great spot. We understand that, but we need to handle our business. What, what tells you that they're going to turn around? You mentioned this has been a prolonged period of time. Track record? We've, we've, we've done it most of the year. I have total faith in that room and those players, um, you know, and, and this is a, you know, unique in that a lot of them are going through a tough period together. You know, usually have a handful of guys hot, a couple guys struggling, you know, we've got more than our share of struggling right now. We got to find a way. So, you know, I don't, I don't really care about the number. The number is if we play like this and, and keep, you know, walking away at the end of the night, they ain't going to matter. We, we get it together and play our game, then we'll run away. And so eight, nine, 10, seven, five, we got to play better. We got to start racking up some wins and, you know, hopefully, hopefully that starts tomorrow afternoon. Lindsey. Aaron, aside from the injuries with, with the group you have on the field now is. Plenty capable. What? Plenty capable. What do you feel is like the missing factor here? Points right now. We need to score some points. That's, that's been a struggle now for, you know, 10 days, two weeks, you know, and, and look, you know, even it's important to say, you know, you know, I've, however far you want to go back and, you know, four weeks, five weeks, all-star break, whatever, where, you know, we haven't been winning at a, at a good clip, obviously. You know, the offense has been there most of that time. It's been the last 10 days, two weeks where it's been a real struggle for us, right? You know, starting from about, you know, that second game in Seattle where it's been, and, and, you know, we've faced a lot of tough pitching, but we've faced a lot of tough pitching all year. And we've been up to the task. So you're going to have those games where you get shut down. It's the major leagues, major league pitchers are really good. You know, but we have everything in there. We have everything in that lineup to, to turn this thing around. And I do have full confidence in that. But, you know, we got to start, got to start seeing it here. I guess in, at this moment, like, what is the primary emotion you feel when looking at the performance tonight over the last few days? Um, I think frustrated, like, like the entire group, you know, we're all, we want to win, you know, we, we want it bad, you know, I talk about shaking hands. That's, that's what we work hard to do off season, spring training into the regular season. You know, it's, you pour a lot into trying to shake hands at the end of the day. And we've been able to do that on balance on a really high clip this year. We've hit a rough patch, you know, and we've got to, we've got to dig ourselves out and we can sit here and I can keep answering questions and talk about it. We've got to go do it. And then the good news is we got all the pieces in that room to do that. And I know that's coming. I know it's going to happen, but it really sucks going through it and, you know. Carlos to the right. What's the latest on Stanton and Carpenter? Carpenter still no weight bearing stuff. Stanton will be starting to rehab tomorrow. Marley. Aaron, you talked about the booze and dealing with that. The booze were particularly loud today for oldest Chapman. Is that something that you have to talk to your guys about? Is there something you have to address and what did you see from Chapman today? I thought Chappy struggled tonight. You know, kind of lost a strike zone. You know, he's been so good now for whatever, 10, 12 outings. And I go back to even the other night, you know, when he struggled. He righted the ship in a way and got blocked with a shank down the right field line. Like tonight it was, you know, he didn't, he didn't reign it in. And that was, you know, one of those we saw a couple of months ago, a blip. We got to get back at it, you know, get him working. Because he's put in a lot of really good quality work to put him in a good position to go out there and throw the way he has for the better part of a month or so. So this was a rough one tonight. We got to get after it with him to get him back in line to how he's been. And I know he'll come in ready to work to get that right. Two more, Ron and Pete. With Chapman, is there more of a difficulty for him staying in rhythm out of the stretch and not getting his release point a little out? No, he's always in the stretch. Oh, because we're with runners on base. Oh, no. I think that's starting to become a strength for Chappy is the running game. And I think in a lot of ways when he's quick and aware of the running game, it usually syncs him up mechanically. And we've seen that a lot, a lot over, especially the last month. It just seemed with the runner tonight that he started to lose a little focus at that point. No, if anything, no, that's not correct. Aaron might get lost in all this, but would you think of the catch that Cabrera made to start the game? Maybe he could have given you guys that spark right at the start of the game. Yeah, he was, I mean, to see him move out there for not having very many professional games at all under his belt. You know, we've talked about him working out there. Man, he looked really natural, didn't he? The way he moved at that. I mean, he made that play with ease. And then later on the ball down the right field line that he moved over really nice and made a great play. And then even there in the ninth on the sack fly, he misfired a little bit. But him, the wherewithal to come up and go to third there. You know, the temptation is, oh, he's going home, but it probably don't really have a play at home. Goes to third with it, right decision. Yeah, so good to see him come up here and really handle himself really well.
