 we had everything working tonight. You know use the heater up used it down. We got ahead in a lot of counts with curve balls I was able to throw my better curve ball later in counts for the finish. If you could change ups and I think I got like 3 strikeouts of change ups which is really rare for me. But Gary saw something he liked in that pitch tonight was confident call in certain situations and when I have those pitches going to take some pressure off my slider. I don't have to be quite as perfect or as nasty with my slider so I thought everything's kind of like couple together everything paired really well we're sequencing well we kind of gave everyone different looks throughout the game. The fact that John Carlo put 3 on the board in the first and the offense continue to tack on did you feel as though that allowed you to be maybe even more aggressive than you were in the past. Yeah I mean I had a 3 run lead before even thrown a pitch. I mean those guys were locked in from the get go. I mean they had some long innings there they're building. It's cool in the dugout like you just feel them feeding off each other. They had some energy and swag tonight out there. Yeah I mean even in the first inning I had a runner on and I just told myself like I'm up 3 here don't walk this guy. Let's just go right at him so that was kind of the town he all night really is like let's just be aggressive and I wanted to get those guys back in the dugout back in the in the batter's box as quickly as possible to let them do their thing. How much of a step forward is this for you to really have everything click when you're on the mound. Yeah, yeah, it was nice to have the results come together for sure. I mean I feel like I've been ever since that silly debacle I feel like I've been making really good strides forward. You know I feel like I kind of put my foot down after that and started making some really good progress so definitely nice to see it like in a box score but I do feel like I've been working on the right things and kind of track in the right direction for a bit now. James and you had a really good game here as a rookie to in 2016. What do you remember about that and what is it about Seattle that you like so much. Yeah, this was my I think my second one in the big leagues was here. They had a really stacked lineup in 2016. So yeah, good times is my first full road trip in the big leagues to actually one of the deal after that start with some shoulders for us back then. But yeah, it's a beautiful field. My brother got to see me pitch tonight. He lives up here. He doesn't see me pitch in a really long time. So that's that was really cool to have him in the stands. Yeah, I mean, I like the park. I like pitching here. It's a nice mound. But I don't think too too crazy. What is it about the mound that you like? When mounds are like tacky and you this is real specific like when you feel your cleats can really grip the dirt versus kind of like slide when it gets gravelly and stuff. So the mound here is like real tacky and it stays intact all game also so the rubber doesn't get like to dug out into like like there's not a crater in the mound. Cool. And James and that this longest start of the season for you. What does this do that for you that you're heading into an all star break? I guess it's like you might have one more of it to take this and be able to feel confident about your game. And you feel that you're back to where you were in your prime in Pittsburgh. I know it's been say you're progressing. You feel like you're there yet or still need a little to get back. Yeah, nights like tonight definitely kind of remind me of what I'm capable of. You know, I threw a lot of sinkers tonight which reminded me kind of the picture I've been in the past. You know, I wasn't just living up in the zone. I was throwing sinkers down heaters down in a way. My curveball is really good tonight. So yeah, that that kind of reminded me of the guy I've shown I can be. But yeah, it's definitely a nice one to build off of. You know, again, I feel like I've been tracking in the right direction for a while and then just to feel like it kind of comes all together. You know, I'll go back and watch the video again tomorrow of every pitch kind of take some notes and stuff just so I remember exactly what I was doing and what I was thinking in the moment. But there's definitely
