So didn't end up going great from a Blue Jays standpoint.

It was solid rather than, you know, this turning point that it could have been.

But for me, it was fun.

It's a good challenge.

And it makes you dial into the game every single play of the game in just a different way.

So that's always something I enjoy.

Yeah, no, it's every role really is different.

And I've been fortunate enough, as you have to try different ones over the years here at Sportsnet, where, you know, one day you're writing another day, maybe it is the radio another day, maybe you're preparing for a podcast or helping out on Blue J Central occasionally.

And each one of those things comes with different challenges.

Like there's

Certainly, being at the ballpark or even here in Atlanta, you're surrounded by different fans, different environment.

You have to get ready for that.

You have to understand where to go and just how to handle those logistics.

And the radio, it's really...

you have to be prepared for anything, but you can't get too far ahead of yourself.

You have to stay like in the moment with that play, which is really part of the fun challenge where you can't drift off.

You have to stay with the game every step of the way.

And that for me is really where it starts.

I think they're just trying to stay the course, keep steady with it.

I asked Kevin Gosman after the game if this tests his patience at all, because there would be a sort of relief, of course, to get to 500 after everything they've been through, which is not insignificant.
