 James in a walk single hit batter to start that first inning. How were you able to settle in and get out of it and give them? Yeah That first inning definitely got a little hairy on a sir pitch count got high too So in the moment just make pitch after pitch try to get out of it and limit the damage And then from there we're able to get some quick contact and keep the keep the pitch count and check and go relatively deep Yeah, I mean top three hitters reach. It's not how you want to start your day, but minimizing to one right there I thought was big once you get out of that innings fresh start for you heading into the second. Yeah, yeah You know you get to go back into the dugout almost like a fighter going back to their corner like you get to kind of talk about their strategy What got us in that situation? Maybe there were a few delivery things. I thought my sights were a little off Like I was just wasn't looking in the right spot And then we just kind of changed the game plan a little bit that we went from there What was the biggest change you guys made to be effective? Yeah I Don't know. I mean I thought in the first inning they had some really good takes on pitches down and away So honestly just catching more of the plate with stuff Because it was clear to me that like they weren't chasing what I was throwing early So you got to catch the plate and getting good counts And whatever you do that you can kind of put them on their on their heels a little bit Faces loaded no out in the first. Do you start like mental pep like okay one run here like what? What what are you mentally pep talking or is it all strategy? You don't give yourself that a little bit of both? I mean in that situation. I'm okay giving up a run and trading it for getting some outs I mean at that point you just need to get it out and go from there, which we did we got I think Teoscar on the ground Yeah, I'm not like looking ahead too much I mean you still have to just make pitch after pitch and that's kind of the thing like brick after brick pitch after pitch And then you can kind of start planning from there Yeah, I was definitely okay trading a run right there for now Do you is that on your mind at all like I've got to give us innings today? I mean not just because of who we have thrown tomorrow, but just because we're playing like 23 games in 22 days You know, I thought like what Seve did yesterday was huge He had a shot to be out of the game in a second. He ends up giving us some really strong length there And then you know today. I was back against the wall early with a bad pitch count able to pitch into the six so No matter who's pitching the next day like that definitely helps set up the bullpen and helps set us up going into a tough series of Chicago Yeah, I mean it's big I mean they're in our division. They're a really good team. They were right there with us at the end of the year last year And you know the games early in the season count as much as they do in September So I thought last year it took us a little while to get going against teams in our division and we finished stronger But this year we've come out kind of firing 30 games in you guys have the best record in baseball I think it's the best start by Yankees in two decades. What's your biggest takeaway and do you think you guys are the best team in baseball now? Yeah, I mean I think the thing for me is that we're just able to beat teams in so many ways this year Starters have been throwing well. We have one of the best bullpens in baseball When the line-ups clicking we have one of the deepest and most dangerous line-ups in baseball And then when we need a manufacturer run, we've shown the ability to like move a runner over get the runner in We've gotten some bunts down. We've been running. We're going first to third on base hits So I just think it's exciting for me the defense It's exciting for me that like on any given night. It can be any player in any situation Who can come through and I mean as far as being the best team in baseball. I'm not sure but I really like where we're at
