 Aaron Garrett Cole was every bit the ace you needed tonight 7 strong innings 15 strikeouts what impressed you about the way he navigated through that angels lineup well he just was he was on a mission today you know that's what we needed out of our ace was to come in here we lost our last four games after that hot streak we had and he did what he's supposed to do he came out here dominated was attacking the hitters every pitch I feel like was working for him and I didn't get a lot of work out there in right field it's pretty nice with the way he's been pitching since coming off that COVID I L just how encouraged are you as you go down the stretch run here in September he's been fishing great for us all year you know especially you know since he's come back but all year G Cole's been doing a thing and he's the guy that goes out there he prepares the right way game day he's locked in you can see it on the mound there's the intensity he brings to the game it's just you know we feed off that the team we're different at the plate you know we're taking different at bats you know on defense we're making plays for him so it's a he's a whole package you know that's what you want to have your base you mentioned the team reacts a little bit different is there even a different feel when you get to the ballpark knowing that Cole is on the mound yeah you know you know you got those days circling a calendar when he's pitching you know just you know he's gonna come out there and bring it so you gotta you gotta match the energy and bring it and bring it yourself so we always have fun with 45s out there did you like the fire he showed after that sixth inning it looked like he said to Aaron Boone I'm not done yet I have more left in the tank yeah like I said he was a man on mission today you know he's a you know after those four games we had and you know came up short now he was you know coming out here to prove a point you know show him that you know we can still do our thing and he was he was a man on mission I think he had about 15 K's out there I lost count after 10 so I just anything after 10 man incredible but it was great performance by him you know fun playing defense behind them and looking forward to our next series Aaron you've been consistent at the plate pretty much all season long but it seems like you even up the ante on this road trip what really clicked for you in the batter's box I love the West Coast I love coming home you know great fans on the road but not just his team you know it's it's September this is when men step up this is you know the crunch time for us and time to step up and go to business you know we're still in the hunt and our mission isn't done yet so we got to keep working Aaron thanks for the time
