And, you know, wasn't expecting a homer from Dubon against him.

But, you know, knew we had Louie for at least four outs.

So that's kind of the thinking behind it.

And if he is not pitching in the ninth, I think it all depends on who we have available after that spot for certain spots in the order.

I think just executing, you know what I mean?

And then just staying on it, you know, when he's good, I think it's, you know, you can see where the pitches are in terms of in the zone or around the zone.

I think when he has struggled, you know, you just lose command of the zone and you're given extra base runners via walk.

But that's, that's kind of it.

And I think that, you know, that comes and goes.

You know, he's had such a weird year in terms of strikeout percentage.

And then when a ball gets put in play, with the exception of last night, it seems like when the ball's put in play, it's for a hit.

So that, to me, it's just executing.

And then it's not giving away free base runs.

just get ahead of hitters, you know, like any pitcher, he, you know, that's, that's really, really important for him in particular.

You know, he's a lot like Kevin Gossman, like you got to get ahead.

And then I think that's where the slider and the split come into play.

But if you're working behind, you know, it kind of pigeonholes him into, you know, two pitches or one pitches as opposed to three.

So really uncharacteristic for him, I think kind of just, you know, losing the zone and, and the walks that he had in his last outing.

But yeah,

Yeah, sure.
