Obviously, we'll be watching and paying attention to what's going on around the league, but our guys are in this celebration, and because of how good we were for the majority of the season,

You know, we were able to withstand a really tough stretch and finish with a couple wins on this road trip.

Yeah, we are the sum of the parts type of team.

Cater did an incredible job, and everybody that we handed the ball to did their part.

It's one of our calling cards whenever Tarek's not pitching or Jack and Casey are both very reliable, but we always have a lot of weapons in the pen.

And then on the defensive side, Javi's ball is probably single-handedly the most important play of the game because of where we were.

We were falling behind.

It would have been 2-0.

It would have been a taller hill to climb.

We do need everybody.

In September, we get 28.

We used over 50 players this season to get to where we're at right now.

It feels good when you can compliment so many players on a daily basis.

Yeah, I mean, this is, you know, we've been carrying a lot with us over the last month plus.

And, you know, and I think it's been hard.

I think it's been taxing.

You're going to, you know, I think you're going to see a lot of guys.

you know, mentally relax and even physically get a reset by the energy that's provided by the postseason.

So they only let six teams in on each side, and I think we need to be reminded, or I need to remind these guys of that.

You've got to earn your way here, and that type of energy can only be felt in October or September 30th.
