 Aaron, what do you think of the way that Johnny Brito was able to mix those pitches the first and second time through? Yeah Man great job. I'm in a tough matchup. Castillo, you know Johnny comes up here and Again, we're hearing good things about some of the things he was working with and and I thought he did a good job Even incorporating his breaking ball, especially the first time through, you know had a little bit of a presence with it I think it helped him with the change up moving forward But for the most part filling up the strike zone thought a little bit late, you know He started to scatter a little bit maybe got away with a couple mistakes, but man. He was Man, he couldn't ask for much more than that Is there a Noticeable difference with the quality of all of his pitches from maybe a month a month and a half I don't know. He's I think he flashed that his entire time here. You know, he had he had a couple really rough outings One in particular But you know, I think for the most part he was either good to to really at least keeping us in the game and we he flashed that kind of stuff all the time but Able to you know, really was pitch-efficient too and Really really proud of him on that start that ninth inning what seemed off with King that forced you to go to Kainley. Yeah, just You know care in price last few hasn't been quite as sharp And then he probably got away with one there with Teosker even And I just felt like You know with him not being quite as sharp Losing the lead-off man there and then maybe getting away with one with Teosker and the lefty coming up I had Tommy ready to go and I just felt like his right thing Was to say about where this offense is at with the way they were able to force because you don't work and throw a Lot of pitches. Yeah Really impressive And again another tough kind of tough night to hit with that wind blowing in, you know, I think keggy probably has one there and so I just It was it was good to see us really wear down a an elite starter like that and make them work as hard as we did and Get them out of there With you know, what was for the most part really quality at bats up and down Gary and then Andy is really coming. Okay. He he did something with his quad So we'll see what we got there. That was just running down the line. Yeah You mentioned Brito's breaking ball already, but you know when he was here the first time some of the discussion was is that third pitch Can it come along enough and so how much progress have you seen toward that goal of that being a really good usable pitch for him? Yeah, I mean it was encouraging to see it there today and and to at least be able to have a presence with it I thought the one one at bat that Teosker flew out to the wall on I thought maybe went to it a little too much there but Yeah, I mean, I mean that's that'll be important You know, I think at least for him moving forward, you know when it comes to being a starter, you know having that third pitch that you can you know Even even just a pitch you can throw in the strike zone for a strike when you need it as as something to get them off The fastball change up is it overstating it to say it looked a lot better than it did earlier in the season I don't know. I'd have to see I mean it seemed like it was you know He actually got some swing and miss with it. He got some strikes with it It felt like maybe a little more of a presence with it I'd have to look at the stuff and see the quality Back left in the third we saw Volpe sort of dancing dancing off first base right before Bauer's home run What impresses you about Volpe's ability to sort of jumpstart the offense with his running game even the threat of his running game Yeah, I mean he's he's really good at it You know again, he's not a burner. He's just really good at You know use a momentum Does his homework? You know, it's one thing to be able to do it. It's also to be able to do it and You know a lot of guys become vulnerable when they do that. He seems to He's covered, you know, he knows exactly what he's doing what he's looking for When he can get it has a real good clock as far as knowing when I take off or You'll see him even sometimes take off and shut it down because he doesn't feel like he's gonna make it So he's just he's He's really advanced at doing it on the basis from a base stealing standpoint And and there's no question that when he gets on you've got to pay attention and be aware of him Randy There's a lot of talk now already are you guys gonna trade for now for July and you look at what McKinney and Bowers are doing To non roster guys who come up from trip away. What can you say about how they've helped you in this tough time offensively? Yeah, I've been huge Again, I mean, you know, I think a billy now. It's just been consistent a bats day in and day out Again, even if he gets a hit or not, you know, there's been a couple days He's he's probably gone over but where I feel like man it's just good at bats though and and today more of that obviously another big home run by him and Jake a big homer Jake's done a really good job of impact in the ball and You know and especially in the leadoff spot lately, you know, I feel like he's had really competitive at bats You know, even some some at bats that have ended and maybe outs, you know, he's There's a little bit of a presence to him up there and I mean we've obviously needed it Brian what was the explanation on Glaber getting doubled off at first did he think that ball was gonna drop or do you not know how many outs or oh, yeah, he thought it was gonna drop. He was just You know going like I'm gonna score a fist so It's great play by Teoscar. I mean the shoestring So, you know, but yeah, he thought he was gonna be able to He was kind of rolling the dice on it dropping Great any concern with King. I know his velocity. He's been down a little bit his last few outings as well Yeah, not I don't know concern. Just not quite as sharp I thought he came in and and you know when he came in for Cabillero, I thought he was really sharp within that at bat I don't always get enamored with his velocity because there's times when he's really sharp It's 92 34, you know, we've seen him in the past even up over 95s and stuff And I feel like when he was on a really good run there, you know Go back a few times ago. It wasn't overpowering from a radar gun standpoint But there's he probably hasn't quite been as sharp and and losing the lead-off man there after getting ahead You know, so we're you know paying attention to it Dan You guys have had so many injuries, especially in the outfield how Difficult has that been to deal with, you know, especially if Calhoun is out and you have to make another move out there And it's part of it. I mean we gotta play, you know the season doesn't wait for anyone, you know and and it's created opportunities for people and and You know opportunities that a number of guys have taken advantage of so it's You know, it's what we prepare ourselves for and You know, you know, there's going to be things that come up throughout the season And you gotta be ready for it, especially can't and Donaldson is kind of in the eye of the storm here now a little bit With the crowd and things like that. Do you think that has gotten to him at all? Oh, yeah, I think he wants to show him, you know, because I think he knows he's You know, he's got he's got it in there. Um So there's probably a little bit of that, you know wanting to show him and wanting to wanting to perform You know, I really think up up until you know last two nights. He's You know, he's he's been a little unlucky with his results, you know last two nights um, you know and too tough right on right guys too um, hasn't been quite as sharp, but um You know, I think there's something too, you know He's he's been around a long time and had a lot of success though and and been in the eye of the storm In in a lot of places in his career. So Um, but I think there's a level of him that feels like I know what's in there and I want to I want to
