 Aaron you guys often especially early on very hard to come by. What was Ellis doing that made him so effective? Yeah, I mean he had a mix of going and making some pitches when he when he had to You know, I thought in the first and second inning we had some opportunities there and actually hit the ball Well, G smokes the ball to center after the judge double Or e7 whatever and then and then I thought squid had a good at bat where The next inning a runner in scoring position lines out to end the inning So I thought we were having in a couple balls that we hit to the fence and stuff So I thought we were having some decent at bats against them But again just not creating enough traffic against them and he and he was able to make some pitches and and and have a little bit of a mix How much does that wear on an offense after you go inning after inning and you guys just can't seem to get anything going? I mean word We're grinding and in the fight and so I don't really worry about that so much I mean, we got a you know, we've hit up this last week where you know, we haven't You know put up the runs that we expect to Consistently so we got to do that, but I don't I don't feel like it's necessarily that effect or anything I feel like the guys are In the right frame of mind to have the right focus expecting it and we just got to keep at it We just got to keep at it Season what were you staying from him this afternoon? I think I got it Wanda's been effective. What was I seeing from? Yeah, I mean just You know infield in the first hit is it kind of that chopper down the line against them then they you know dump one in another place You know so a little bit a little bit unfortunate today, but probably stuff wise not quite as crisp today Obviously been used a lot lately. So Maybe just a tick off from a stuff standpoint, but also, you know, they dumped some out there against them too Joel Sherman you have the next question Aaron you mentioned the offense not producing much over the last week Is there a commonality when your offense doesn't produce runs? I Don't think so. I mean I think you know You know for a lot of the year, you know, obviously the ball in the grounds hurt us the double-play ball You know as has has hurt us a lot of the year You know hasn't been as much of that lately other than obviously the game the other day and in Anaheim You know sometimes sometimes a strikeout ball gets you So I think it's been a little bit of everything, but I Feel like we're in a different season now than than where we were Evaluating the first few months where you know, there were a lot of situations where we were probably putting the ball on the ground In situations that that kind of hurt us Just follow you had one double play that was killer today with boy You could have gone the lefty righty match up there with no door Can you go through your fuck process why void? Just again, you know similar to the other day when when I hit void in Anaheim against a right just a Just just a matchup that I sided with in that spot, you know with a couple runners out there Down a couple just felt like it was a slightly better matchup But but you know was a close call for me and and would have been comfortable You know if it was Rugi in that spot Go next to Brian Hoke I Thought he I thought he finished the inning pretty well Which was good to see when he started to teeter a little bit there He was able to rain it in I thought execute there those final couple hitters You know, obviously the strikeout to start the inning where with the wild pitch obviously hurt and then You know Hayes Hayes looked like he got fisted and dumped one in and then he walked a guy But it was encouraging to see him after that walk where I thought he was losing the strike zone And then even with the next guy where he's got maybe behind in the count. I thought he I thought he Caught himself and corrected and and executed some pitches there to finish off the inning was which was good to see Dave Lennon go ahead Hey, and we look at these games from the outside and see that the Orioles aren't you know doing very well and think these are teams that you Guys have to make hay against like the Razor at 18 and one against them this year I mean, how do you how do you rationalize that? I know on the outside we have a different view than you guys do But when you struggle against the team that that you know hasn't hasn't performed very well You just chalk it up as kind of one of those things Yeah, I mean look these games are super important and we're trying to win them and you know We got held down enough today. So that's frustrating and unfortunate, but You know, we got a we got a big one tomorrow that we got to grab
