 Perhaps Matt Carpenter will be an X-Factor as the series unfolds. He appeared off the bench a couple of times in the ALDS, and now he's in the starting lineup tonight. Meredith caught up with him a little while ago. Matt, you're in the starting lineup, D.H.'ing today. What's the biggest key when you're going against a guy like Justin Verlander? Yeah, I mean, he's a really good pitcher. Obviously, been doing it for a long time. So I know, and we all know, he's an aggressive guy. He's going to come after us. So I think, you know, for us, being ready to punch back when he punches at us. And, you know, stepping the box ready to go. Just a couple of at-bats in the DS. Overall, how do you feel at the plate? I feel good. You know, I mean, obviously the results haven't been there in those two at-bats. But as far as, like, the way I feel physically, I feel good, excited about getting a chance to play today and getting some more at-bats underneath me. And hopefully I can do some things to help us win again. What's the mentality like in that clubhouse right now? Game one, ALCS, very, very soon to start. We're really excited. I mean, we worked hard to get here. We had a really hard-fought battle in the DS. And, you know, we're confident in the group we have. And, you know, we got some unfinished business. What do you like about Tyione on the mound for game one? He's had a great year. He's fished really well for us all season. I think he led our team and wins. And just really, you know, gave us a chance to win every time he stepped on the mound. And we expect him to do the same thing tonight. I mean, this is where he's from. You know, hometown, he'll have some family here. I know he's going to go out there and give us a chance to win. That's the luck tonight. All right, thank you.
