Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

I mean, every year it's a little bit of the, every year you kind of got to reinvent yourself to some extent.

Um, or at least I feel like you do.

Um,

Looking across the league, it's like guys pretty much remain true to their strengths, but the way that you get there might be a little bit different.

And, you know, whether that's increased usage of the sinker or different pitches for first pitch strikes as opposed to, you know, just continuing to attack with the four.

But that's always going to be a strength of mine is getting down people's throats with the four seam.

But I feel like the longer that you're in this game, the tendencies become a little bit more clear and there's less...

I don't know, ambiguity to what you're trying to do on the mound.

Later, I mean, definitely aggression early in the game.

I feel like once we started to, you know, add the sinker in a little bit more versus right, I did it a little bit the first month of the season.

I was still trying to figure out the right counts and, you know,

I feel like there were times where I used it poorly and it kind of eliminated it off the table versus right for, I don't know, two or three months.

It was very sparing, not, not altogether, but it was very sparing compared to how it began.

And the second half of the year, I felt like we brought it back and we're using it appropriately.

It's, you know, as people talk about sinkers not being a whiff pitch, I think that as pitchers, we like to think that everything can be a whiff pitch if thrown in the right opportune moment.
