 says a little little hip issue we think he's gonna be okay we're gonna check out and everything tomorrow and make sure but so I think he's okay a little something to do with his hip though what are the next two and a half days gonna be like for you as you prepare for this wild card game um yeah I mean just now really diving in pouring into Oakland and you know thinking through what they might do tomorrow will be mostly an off day for everyone guys will come in that need treatment and stuff and and you know staff and stuff will will be diving into their individual stuff and then Tuesday it's you know we'll really get after as far as you know our advanced scouting meeting and in the workout and just trying to get our guys prepared and and then the real fun starts on Wednesday how much are you looking forward to getting things going really excited excited to go you know to go chase it down you know it's it's an opportunity and none of us should take it lightly the opportunity to get into the postseason and the chance you have in front of you and then hopefully we can put our best foot forward start Wednesday night thinking pitch and you know again going back to that first doubting that was rough he is he's not look back from that he is he has pounded the strike zone you can tell he creates a bit of a problem for lefties I don't think they pick up the ball real well against him but he's also shown the ability to get get right he's out you know I think he's a guy that can give you a little bit of length to if you needed to so he's a guy that's obviously popped on our radar you know this summer we really started to take notice within the organization and he's earned his way up here and excited for him and what he can be for us not only short term but but long term you mentioned in Tampa that he was in the conversation potentially for the postseason is that still I'd say he's in the conversation yeah we haven't we haven't settled on that or or anything that's still an ongoing conversation that we have not made that decision yet oh yeah question I asked you in a pregame about advancing looking at the quotes I think you thought I was talking about scouting I was talking about planning for ahead of the wild card game so what's your question looking forward to the Red Sox impact what you're deciding upon it was the wild card game very little I mean you know there's no tomorrow Wednesday so you know you you pour everything you can in the Wednesday and trying to win that game you know I guess there's always a big picture involved and you know we're in this thing to win the whole thing but first things first is pouring everything we we have and to win in Wednesday and and then making that decision based on what gives us that best chance yeah all 25 guys on the roster hands on it will be a starter yes 18 questions left to figure it out
