 Aaron video caught you talking to Gibson there right before you went in the dugout. What were you guys discussing? Oh, just just replay procedures and things like that And how frustrating is it you had opportunities there in that ninth inning? It looked like you were gonna break through Or I'm sorry in the tenth in the ninth and the tenth so to break through a little bit further Yeah, I mean obviously really good at that bike labor there and you know your as that ball is flying You're like hit the wall hit the wall because you know it might skip over and if it stays in we probably score two there so But you know competitive at bats to give ourselves a chance there and obviously at least tie it there and then you know in the tenth You know, you know Not not getting the bunt down and then you know, you got a tough match up there probably didn't get a call in the fort at that and then You know and they they executed there in the tenth, you know get the bunt down and get the ball in the air You mentioned that call in the fort at bat. How much did that change the complexion of well I mean, I don't know there's calls that go your way, you know throughout the course that go against you So that's that's all part of it. Obviously, you know, that's a 3-0 situation all of a sudden So that's part of it and didn't go our way that time not the end result You would have liked but labor really has not hit for power came up in that big situation Tying the game there. Is that something that could propel him forward just a step in the right direction for him I think the whole week's been a step in the right direction for him Just you know, I think there's probably two or three balls here, you know Even though he got some hits in this series, obviously and swung the bat pretty well There's also a couple times where you know, he flew out where you know He got a really good swing off where he got just under a ball feel like two or three times in this series So, you know, he's close and the power will will happen You know, but you know at least encouraged by the way, he's moving this last week of the bats Aaron to go five and three on this road trip. How do you feel about how things went? I mean, you know Obviously go out on a road trip and and you you know have a winning record like that You know, certainly that's good But you know, we also know that you know, there's a game or two that you know One thing here one thing there and and all of a sudden it's a it's a special trip. So I feel like we're moving in the right direction You know, the offense is collectively having better at bats even though we got shut down a little bit today You know, we continue to pitch really well So, you know, obviously we go start an important home stand tomorrow with with Garrett going on the mound And we got to continue to to to play better and and keep it moving Aaron was there any thought in the eighth pinch hitting judge for Hicks rather than Odore who's come up a few times Including this game in some big spots for you guys No, no, you know against the lefty there and then obviously flipping Hicks around No, that was the matchup. I wanted Thank you. Yeah Aaron two different subjects if possible one You had Montgomery pitch to Mancini to open the six with green warmed and Mancini had had some of the better at bats Yeah, him to that point go through your thinking of why you stuck with him If it was going to be a one batter and out if there was a run. Yeah, just Frankly long Long season where you got you got to lean on starters, you know during everyday stretches You can't you know, just run to the best matchup in the bullpen in the middle of the game every time and you want you You know, I want these starters to to be able to push themselves through some some situations I thought money really settled in especially in the third fourth and fifth inning. I thought he got a little better and generating We contact You know, so, you know kind of pushing cluber deeper into the game, you know, just Try into when we can and we have, you know You know, especially on days where we have score leverage, you know Not just running to the to the bullpen in the matchups all the time in the middle of games And the the other subject is what what did you think of the effort on Wade's attempts at buns there in that in the 10th day Well, first of all, Scott's Scott's obviously that's a you know, that's tough matchup Lefty on left bun, but you know, that's obviously something waiters gotta gotta handle I thought, you know Probably trying to be a little too firm down the line and forcing that third baseman to the field it instead You know with with with just a runner on second and no force situation and because it's a tough, you know 100 mile an hour throwing lefty with a slider, you know, you you want to be a little more Not not not so fine in that situation probably so thought he you know might have been a little bit too fine Thank you. Yeah Aaron use judge there and shedding. What did you think of that at bat and just went what into that thinking to use him right there? Tie game essentially You know with who was right before sorry Yeah Just wanted him in that matchup at that point in the game against their lefty You know, that's that's essentially leading off an inning right there, you know after geo geo got on to start it Yeah, he walked you walk. Yeah, you walk. So we're you know, that's the game right there. That's that's the leverage spot you got the lefty there it's man on first no outs and Yeah, that's That's kind of the matchup I envisioned. I know he struck out there. How did he look to you in that about the swings? Oh, fine. You know, I mean Friday a good job executed and got him to chase a little bit up there with with two strikes, but Yeah, I mean that's That's gonna happen
