Yeah, I mean everybody's trying to to gain an advantage, you know, I I matched

I wasn't I wasn't in there playing in that game, so um you know, that that's it's part of the game and I think our guys did a good job of of getting to him and and hitting the balls out of the park. matched

What a swing by Tyrone Taylor early in that game, which was which was awesome. matched

Um, there's definitely two sides of it. matched

I think uh you know, one side is you get to face a position player and you know, if you're gonna matched

hit five hundred against position players on the year is better than you're gonna do against any pitching. matched

So it's good for matched

For the guys and the stats. matched

Um matched

I think the other part of that is when you're playing a four game set against a a division uh rival, you know, you want them to get into the bullpen a little bit deeper. matched

Um and so when it happens in the seventh inning, um, it's kind of one of those situations where, you know, you wish that they would have had to throw one more arm, um, in that game so that they didn't have that guy available or so that guy had a little bit higher pitch count um in in the four game set. matched

So I I know that they've set the rules in a way that they're trying to protect pitchers and they're trying to protect using guys and matched

Makes sense, but at the same time, you know, when you're when you're playing a four game set like that and it's the first game of the series, you kinda wish you could get a little bit deeper into that pen. matched

Manny Shaw didn't have a problem doing it. matched

I think I think it's different for different guys. matched

I think some guys have, you know, are really, really good against position players and matched

And some guys, um, you know, are just trying to find a way to to hit a single and keep it moving. matched

Um matched

I've only hit one in my career, so I wouldn't say that like I'm the best at position player home run hitting. matched

Um, but I I do think that you know if you're talking about a position player coming in throwing like fifty or sixty, it's probably a little bit easier than when they're throwing thirty five. matched
