 from King who spoke to the media moments ago. Michael, you got yourself into some trouble in that first inning, but then settled down during the second and third before losing the strike zone. Again, what did you do to settle down in those two innings? Yeah, I felt like I was just nibbling. I was getting down 1-0 to everybody, which obviously is not a good recipe for success. And then in between innings, Blake was saying it looks like I got a little rotational, especially when I got to the stretch, where when I was coming up, I just kind of was going back instead of kind of staying in my backside and getting down the rubber. But I got it back in that second and third. I still didn't have great glove side command, which then eventually got to me in that fourth inning. And I'm frustrated with myself because I let the umpire get in my head. I felt like I had a call and then I just couldn't get away from it. And through a bad 3-2 pitch, and then next batter walked in easily, where I just couldn't get locked back in. So I'm frustrated with myself for that. What batter was that that you felt as though you let the umpire get in your head? I threw a 2-2 pitch to a Domus that was actually a ball. And I thought it was a strike, and then I just couldn't get back from it. What do you take away from this outing? I'm happy to give my first start. That was one of the goals going into the season. But it's kind of one of those I just got flush. Fastball command wasn't there, and that's kind of probably my strongest part of my whole baseball career. So I'm kind of flushing it and then just kind of moving on to the next one just because I feel like next one, my fastball would be there. And when did they tell you that you were getting the start in game two? I knew before game one that it was most likely gonna happen. And it was just like, unless something terrible happens in game one, then I saw I was down to the bullpen for the first like four innings. But then after that, I went back into the clubhouse and got ready. Thank you. Thank you. We'll take the next one from Ken Davidoff. Hey, Michael, were you eating something after the first inning? Yeah, that's funny. My mom actually texts me about that. But she was like, I'm just being a mom. Did you get food? That kind of thing. I usually always eat. I think it was like the fifth inning or is the sixth inning of the previous game. And then I noticed that when I started, I always kind of hit a wall on like that fourth or fifth inning where I just got really tired. And I felt like it was because I didn't eat since a couple of hours before the game. So I make it a thing where I always eat after, it's usually after the second. That's how I did it after the first. And usually it's after like the fourth. So yeah, I just had like a little, it's like a honey kind of energy bar thing. All right, thanks. Thank you, Ken. Any other questions for Michael? Brian Hope, please unmute. Hey, Michael, congratulations on making your first start. I'm sure you would have liked to have your family there. You know, what was the conversation like just talking to your parents? Yeah, they're still proud of me. But yeah, obviously I just went ahead. Rather better results then than I did. But I mean, I know they're in my corner always. My mom was with my grandpa watching. My dad's actually up in Maine and he was watching with his cousin. So they're all there. So it's nice knowing that they got my back. So with...
