The guy got the win for us on Saturday.

Just an incredible story.

I mean, he was not recruited out of high school, didn't get any scholarship offers, walked on at Mizzou, had to battle his way.

Then he had a stress fracture in his back.

Then he gets drafted late as an afterthought.

Then he has Tommy John.

pitches 11 innings last year.

We take him on a roll five and he gets a win on Saturday, you know, first major league strikeout.

Those are, those are the stories that are just great stories, but he felt the level of support, you know, from his teammates and that, that matters.

That can make a difference.

And Cody will feel that tonight.

He'll feel 35,000 people pulling for him here, you know, million more watching, but he's going to feel those guys in the dugout on the top rail, you know, up there and there'll be in it with him for every pitch, which is pretty cool.

I think our jobs are to be more supportive and to not read in anything too quickly.
