John Schneider

And he showed us, you know, the breaking balls, you know, both curve ball and sweeper that we knew about, you know, kind of commanding that and getting it out of the zone against a really good hitting lineup.

But I think more than anything, it's just kind of the guy that he is and the competitor that he is and the confidence that he has.

I thought that he handled everything really, really well.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, I get it where they are in their order.

Their order was a little bit different yesterday with two righties at the top as opposed to Harris and then Olsen.

But I think that he definitely needed to pitch yesterday, as did a few guys, and not wanting to...

Um, have the ninth inning not be covered by him?

I think, I think, yes, I can say, yeah, kind of a traditional closer.

Um, there have been times where, you know, he'll come in as a certain part of the order that we do like, and depending on score and who we have behind him kind of dictates that, you know what I mean?

So, um,

That's kind of how we view him.

And knowing that, you know, the eighth inning there, Fish had three hitters.

And he's, you know, a guy that I certainly trust, too.

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.
