 before the game Aaron said that he thought you you were really close to where you needed to see in terms of your command and just to go out there and do what you did tonight how how sad a sign was that I would agree with that I mean I think that you know it's always a work in progress even even after you know a game like tonight where the results end up being good I mean I still think you can look at things and find areas where you want to improve so yeah I think that obviously getting the win is the most important thing but it was good to you know I've been saying I feel like I'm close so it's good to finally you know go out there and kind of string together a good outing hey Corey just what were you most pleased with tonight um you know I think that I probably had a goal to be a little more aggressive in the strike zone coming in tonight and I think I did that um you know I think I've kind of had moments where I've been able to do that up to tonight's game but maybe not done it on a consistent basis as well as I did tonight so that was kind of one of my goals coming into it and it seemed like you worked pretty well with Kyle Higashioka I don't know that I saw you shake him off once did you feel like you were in a good rhythm with Higashioka yeah for sure I mean I think that uh you know we we talked about kind of what we want to do what our plan was before the game so you know I think when you're on the same page going into it at least the way I look at it um you know unless I strongly feel against something you know I feel like we've we've done our homework ahead of time so you know I think we're both on the same page and it makes it a lot easier to just kind of get in the flow the next person Corey how meaningful is it to get the length tonight not only for yourself but but for the bullpen yeah I think that's that's the goal every time out as a starter um you know it's it's not always going to kind of happen that way but you know I think you're obviously trying to get as deep in the ballgame as you can while while trying to you know keep runs off the scoreboard uh you know our bullpen's been unbelievable thus far this year you know they've probably had to cover mornings and we'd all like this far um so you know I think for them to continue to have that success throughout the course of the season you know I think that that as much as we can lessen their burden the better
