Not many, to be honest with you.

I think just making sure he feels comfortable and confident tomorrow, you know what I mean?

And not just for, you know, one at bat, you know, to go in and to compete and kind of get locked into a game.

So he's kind of checked every box physically so far.

So see how tomorrow goes.

It's going to sound funny.

The initial comebacker that he kind of bobbled and then the way he flipped it to Vlad kind of showed me he was where he should be mentally and didn't panic.

The double play to end the seventh, obviously, I'll remember that.

The number of pitches he threw, I'll remember that.

That's a new high mark for him.

But I think just striking out four or five in a row, when he got into a rhythm there, it was fun to watch.

those are the things that jump out.

You know, there's a lot of quality pitches.

You know, there's some big, big strikeouts.

Striking out, I believe it was Alex Call to not get Otani up to the plate.

It was, he kind of avoided some dangerous areas too.

So, I mean, I was, like I said last night, I was kind of in awe of a lot of what he did.

Yeah, the vibe was exactly how it always is coming home with an off day, you know what I mean?

Again, I was impressed kind of walking through the clubhouse after I get done talking to you guys.

There's obviously just more people in the clubhouse than a regular season, but I was impressed with just kind of the back and forth that was happening.
