 Gareth just how proud are you of this entire team to be advancing to the ALCS? Yeah, I mean I thought we did a great job this series We had our backs up against the wall and we found a way to perform and It's kind of a little bit reminiscent of the season where we need to overcome some things so All in all it's really good. You performed in two games this series just looking back at those performances What stands out to you the most about the way through the ball? Um, I just thought that We were you know played good baseball both those games Needed to rely on some defense obviously needed to score did that and then we executed the game plan that we put together Uh pretty well When you see john carlos stand and go deep to right fields in the first sitting What's going through your mind and how quickly are you up off that bench? I mean i'm like It's uh, it's a tone-setter for sure and then the next thing that's going through my mind is we got to keep going You know the This cleveland team is really scrappy and they find a way to manufacture runs somehow. So We certainly celebrated it was a nice jolt of energy through the stadium and and then we got back to work Can you appreciate what nester did on short rest? Yeah, I mean he was fantastic today. I thought he could have kept going um I just he was in really good control and he almost like it looked like he felt better than he did A few days ago Really proud of him, you know taking the ball there. That's uh, that's a big that's a big thing for him So, you know, he he did a really good job for us verlander expected to go tomorrow I know he's a good friend of yours. You played on that astro steam in the past What is it going to be like matching up against that squad the battle of my good friends? Um Yeah, it's going to be a tough matchup. I mean my goodness like This is their sixth consecutive alcs Like that's pretty ridiculous in and of itself. So You know, it's certainly deserving and formidable opponent that you know, we're gonna have to Play at the top of our game and And be able to deliver blows and take some as well when you look at that line of what concerns you most What do you look at as the biggest challenge? Just like their ability to manufacture runs in different ways, you know having watched it up close, there's There's really not one person you can pick on and they really play together well as a team. Um So, uh, they find ways to manufacture runs. They obviously can thump and You know, they have, you know Remarkable talent. Um So it's going to be tough. What is this plane ride going to be like to houston knowing it starts tomorrow There's a quick turn of the page. Uh, it's going to be um I don't know. Maybe we can knock a scouting report or two out while we're on it So that we don't have to wake up tomorrow morning and it'll be uh, a little more reserved than if we would have had an off day Um, because uh, yeah, we do have to strap them up and and get ready tomorrow. So, um, but certainly one of the happier flights of the year
