That World Series, it might have been the best World Series of all time.

As you're playing in the games, do you –

are you able to appreciate how good the games are while you're in them?

Or is it just too much stress in the moment for you?

Yeah.

Have you did you go back and watch any of the games on TV?

Yeah, as a pitcher, can you put into perspective, because we were obviously enthralled by the World Series.

It was so, so good.

And what Yamamoto did in Game 7 on zero days rest, as a pitcher, put that into perspective of how hard that is, especially to have no dip in his stuff.

Yeah, he's awesome.

It was an incredible story.

When he's warming up, you're obviously in the bullpen.

Are you watching it being like, holy shit, this stuff has got the same zip?

Yeah, and then I saw the story that when you guys actually won the World Series, you were warming up and you didn't even realize that the final out had happened.

bardo our bullpen coach looks at me he's like what are you doing we just won the world series you know and uh um so that was uh that's how i found out we won it was awesome was it always the plan to retire after this world series or if you guys had lost like sliding doors moment uh maybe maybe you know the runner scores from third and you lose to blue jays was there a part of you that was like maybe i am going to come back next year

It's nice to contribute to a World Series, too.

Without you, that 18-inning game, for example, how much pressure was on you coming in?

Was that the 12th inning that you came into pitch?

Yeah.

How much pressure is that in that moment, knowing that one mistake, it could all be over?
