 We were trying to get in there a 2-0 count, trying to throw a strike. Felt like I threw it to the glove. He put a good swing on it. You know, I think the issue was getting to the 2-0 count and then, you know, the walk before that. What's your level of frustration in not being able to give them innings? Hi. The success that Pierce has had against you, were you pitching around him in that circumstance? No. The second hitter of the game. Definitely not. Or a third hitter of the game. Just lost him out. You know, my execution wasn't as sharp as it's been. You know, and that was the reason I always stressed trying to get strike one. And there were times where I wasn't very good at that tonight. And, you know, the big hit cost me. What do you think the execution just wasn't there tonight? I'm certainly not going to make any excuses. I just didn't get it done. I don't know, you know, there's no excuses. Playoffs, like, you know, I need to be sharper. And, you know, if I get another opportunity, hopefully it will be. Was there something specific not working besides strike one, a pitch or something that you weren't able to execute? I just think, you know, like the Ben and Tendi ball. You just kind of, a flyer that didn't stay up. You kind of slapped it the other way. And then the walk and, you know, and then I felt like I actually made a pitch. And, you know, JD put a good swing on it, you know, and when you're in this situation, you know, and the playoffs, you never know how long you're going to be in there. And, you know, so we made a move at that point, you know, pretty early in the game.
