 What made a Valdez so dominant? The cutter, obviously really good velocity on his fastball, but the cut fastball seemed like he was throwing a ton of those pitches. And it looked like it was moving quite a bit. Tough to really gauge from the side, but just seeing some of the replays and seeing some of the swings on some of his cut fastballs, it gave us some problems today. Just two runs from this offense the last two days. Does all the credit go to the Red Sox pitching? Or do you guys need to find a way to figure things out? Well, we absolutely got to find a way. We're an elite group. And even right now running out a little, obviously having a couple of key pieces out, we've got to do a better job. I mean, you definitely tip your cap to Porcello and of all the able to shut us down. But we got to find a way too, especially right now, when it's tough. What did you think of Chance Adams overall? I thought he did well. And he seemed like in a really good frame of mind all day. And again, I think he came in here having thrown the ball well. I think he had some confidence coming in. And even after giving the home run up there in the first, he didn't flinch. And I thought he did a good job attacking the strike zone, mixing his pitches. Rowe came in a couple of times and said, this stuff's really good. His fastballs moving all over the place, cutting, sinking a little bit. And he gave us, if you would have told me, three runs through five innings for him, his first time out against that lineup, you would have taken that. And we needed to, obviously, support him with more offense. Aaron, you said we need to do a better job at the plate. Is there something specific that you'd like to see us do? We always do a good job, I feel, of control in the zone. But especially when you have a couple of big boys out of the lineup, so guys are in some different spots. It's just continuing to focus, to grind. They've done a really good job the last two days, both Valdi and Porcello, of attacking the strike zone early, so getting ahead in the count a lot. So that makes it difficult when they're dictating counts to really run deep counts. So you've got to be able to strike that balance between going up there on the hunt, being aggressive early in the count, looking to do damage, but being able to shut down on balls. And that's ultimately one of the biggest challenges you have as a hitter. Leading up to the deadline, how much interest did you guys have involved? Well, I don't know. That'd be a question for Cash. And I'm sure they talked about thousands of names over different times. I don't think anything ever got too heated, but that wouldn't be a question for me. All right, where do you think that last inning there, watching from the dugout, the guys are trying to mount something? Say it again. Last inning, what do you think when the guys are trying to mount something? Just love to see. You got their clothes are in. The first and foremost, you want to make it difficult on them. And to get his pitch count up to 30, maybe that impacts tomorrow. But to give ourselves a chance there, to bring the go-ahead run to the plate, it looked like some questionable calls to start off the inning on strikeouts. And I just thought our guys continued to battle. And I thought had really good at bats against an elite closer there. So to give us a chance. So it's one of the things I love about our guys in this group is the way they do always compete. And I thought we had some really good at bats there to give us a chance in the end. Aaron, if you had taken a lead with Patanza's been a close, he wasn't up to it. No, it would have been chappy. Yeah, Patanza's would have, if we tied it, yeah. How important does tomorrow become now? Really, really important. Super important. I mean, but I mean, I'm a broken record. Tomorrow is always really important. I don't care if we just, we're getting, wearing it right now from the Red Sox. We're in a tough spot. Tomorrow's really important. This is the big leagues. We're a really good team. We got to write the shift. Tomorrow's important. But if we had run five in a row, tomorrow's really important. Are you going to change your approach at all? Kind of going into tomorrow with the losing streak? What do you mean approach? Like your preparation, what you say to the guys, stuff like that. You know, we got David Price and no, I mean, every day is a little bit different in how we go in and prepare for, you know, for tomorrow, it's David Price. You know, for us, it's Tanaka. So how are we going to pitch them? How are we, what are we looking to do against David Price? You know, that's the focus. But as far as the message or the conversations, no, because I have no issue with what's going on in there. We're ready to go. We're prepared and we're just running through a little bit of a tough stretch that we got to fight our way out of. Aaron, are you asking about your level of play? Obviously, we keep asking about your play. Their records said they were really good. But seeing them now firsthand these last three days, is there a level they've even reached that you didn't expect? Look, there's no question. They've established themselves right now as the best team in this league. And that's indicative of their record and how consistent they've been. You know, obviously they do a lot of things really well. That said, I think if you walk through our room out there to a man, we know we can absolutely play with them. We know when we're at our best, we can beat them. So I think we acknowledge who they are right now and there's no denying the season they're having. But we have a lot of confidence in our group and a lot of fight. And hopefully tomorrow starts the big and out. You guys had some struggles against right-handed pitching since the All-Star break? Is that mostly just, you know, are you seeing something in terms of approach to being challenging? You know, I think, you know, we probably expanded the strike zone a little bit yesterday in some counts against Porcello. But again, that's partly because of him dictating counts and getting ahead. And I thought he did a good job of expanding in different times. But no, I think we are going to go through little stretches here and there. But I know when we line up all our guys, I think over time our approach will pan out and we'll write that ship.
