Yeah, I mean, there's a lot that goes into it.
And, you know, I think getting that first year out of the way and having success, having a lot of, you know, some failures is good.
So I think it was a good first year.
It was a lot of learning and a lot of productive conversation.
And, you know, there's a lot of bouncing back.
There was a lot of digging yourself out.
And it was good.
Yeah, I had my worst one before All-Star break.
It was one that you definitely want to cast aside, forget, but there's also...
a moment of realization about what happened in that outing and how I lost the fastball and it just wasn't in the zone.
And yeah, just that created the worst outing I had.
And then the best ones that I had, it was, I was locating the fastball, putting it where I wanted to and pitching off of it and getting ahead of, you know, getting ahead in counts and getting ahead of hitters.
And it just, it's just crazy how much difference there was in, in, in those outings and how much I learned just from that one alone.
And,
It was a tough one to go home and sit on for a couple of days through that all-star break, but it set up my second half so much better, and it created a mental clarity for me once I figured it out.
Right.
Yeah, it's not the same.
You have to go through it.
I think I looked at it after the season just because the guy that I do my throwing with brought it up and we looked through it, but not to a deep extent, no.
To be able to land that fastball, you have to.
