 JD Martinez home run aside what stood out to you about the way Paxton was throwing the ball Stuff wise I thought he's really good again. I thought the conviction was again really good even coming off a last game Where I thought it was real strong We saw the curveball play more of a factor today is as just the change of pace for him I thought he did a good job of mixing his three pitches and He went out there and was was really strong knowing the stretch you're in knowing you have the double header tomorrow for him to be able To give you innings today and start this off like that. How big is that 15? Yeah, no question. I mean, you know, we Kind of settled down a little bit here obviously in the rotation the last several days After that stretch so just it's good to see another guy go out there and really pitch aggressively pitch like, you know They're capable of and and packs absolutely set the tone for us He had really had some struggles over his last six stars Did you feel like he needed an outing like this just to kind of restore some confidence a little bit? But you know, I Mean, I honestly I've been really confident in him and even coming off a last start, you know I mean, I thought we saw so many good things. I thought he came out really aggressive He just got bit by a really good team when he made a mistake. So I feel like his his focus and his intent but to go out and get some results and get deep into a game and get us a win Hopefully is something that's that's good for him moving forward Kenny Aaron, did you feel like there's any special meaning with the first game after the deadline that this is your roster now the rest of the way essentially Not really honestly You know our guys Our guys are ready to go. They love playing with each other. They're confident We know we're up against a good team. It's Boston. It's the weekend It's it's easy to be ready for that and and I thought we went out and played a clean game George to the right Aaron your leads 11 and a half. Is that hard to ignore I? Think Tampa's closer than that aren't they Look, we're just trying to rack up wins right now You know there's still a couple months to go in this thing and any time you can rack up a win Especially obviously against a division opponent that is as capable as the Red Sox are You you enjoy those a little more frankly Brian what does it say about Paxton that he had fewer strikeouts tonight than he did in his last start Not much other than you know, Boston's Some can typically be a tough team to strike out, you know, and he had all those strikeouts I think in the first two innings so Stuff wise he's always capable of running out there running a high high strikeout number But when you're up against a team like the Red Sox, they're a team that generally does a good job of putting the ball in play and You know fortunately, they didn't put it in play hard enough often enough Laura Playboy at the Grand Slam He has just such good stats with runners in scoring position with the bases loaded How impressive is it to be have that amount of poise at the age that he that he is? Yeah I mean, that's who he's been since he got here. I mean, it's a guy that plays the game with a lot of confidence Understandably, so he's really talented, but You know, I continue to be proud of him for the continued strides He's make in the little parts of the game that he continues to get better at and You know, he's he's a guy you want up in that situation. He likes being in that spot He's able to really lock in and focus and you know, obviously, that's a it's a big swing tonight for us over to the left So with packs in and the first settings that troubled us getting a zero thrown up there I'm just curious what you make of that Especially the 90s started with the two strikeouts and then got hit by the home run just where you think he is with that Yeah, it's a little Fluky because again, I mean, I thought he threw this not out of the ball in the first inning. I mean You know, he missed on it with a slider instead of you know a foul ball or a hard out or a base hit It's a Homer. So it's like oh here comes the story again, but if you're watching the game I mean You know, I thought he thought he threw the ball great again. I thought he came out I Thought stuff right from that from the get-go was good You know, they just happened to hit a mistake over the fence, you know Crazy Kohli to the right with a nice like a roller's just had and had one of those in a well What can that do for him before? Yeah, it was good to see no question for him to come out and You know pound the zone a little bit You know and then able to You know with with Ben attendee there He falls behind him 3-1 and and gets back into the count and then finishes them with a really good 3-2 slider that freezes them You know, it was good for Chappy, you know, I think he's you know Obviously been a little up and down lately just you know with his command and finding the zone and for him to come in And really fill it up tonight Yeah, hopefully is something that that's good for him and settles him in and kind of gets him rolling again Don't use something with the way they've they kind of took the punch last weekend in in Boston with I guess I think three out of four now, right Yeah, I mean I guess so but you're right. I'm not surprised. I mean I have so much faith in that group They really do a good job of coming in ready to go What no matter what happened and they're not really that affected by a bad night or a bad couple days Or or for that matter a great couple of nights they they expect they expect to go out and win and they know they're good and And there's a lot of comfort in that when you come to the field knowing you can really play
