Anthony Rizzo

You're going to put the fires out, right?

And, you know, one thing after it was all said and done, it's like, you know, like when you start an inning on your own, you kind of try to get cute.

Next thing you know, you're in a mess.

Finally, I was like,

You know, I get out all these fires, like, can you not just let me put my own fire out one time?

I got to sit here and watch this shit.

Right.

But, yeah.

Well, that's what good bullpens are made of, the guys that, like, and a good staff because the starter's grinding.

And then, you know, he may have some traffic out there.

And how a team interacts and –

you know, kind of comes together is because he trusts when you come in to put out his fire, right?

And then the guy behind you comes in and puts out your fire if you don't have it that day.

Yeah.

And I think that's a big part of what Riz is getting at is like the depth doesn't just mean locking down wins.

It means holding a two-run deficit

And not making it five.

Yeah, give us a chance to score some runs.

Because the best teams I've been on and we've been on, those teams that know how to come back, you never give up, right?

And that was one of our slogans.
