Will let me know.

He said, you know, I think you, you've kind of earned the opportunity to do this and you, you know, you threw a lot of innings, but he said on the phone, you know, he's like, I want you to be a guy that just pitches a lot anyway, just a pitch a lot guy.

So, you know, for me, it's like,

I just want to pitch regardless and like help the team win.

You know, like I don't think I'm in a necessarily position right now to, to, Oh, I need to pitch in this.

Like I haven't done enough or been that type of guy yet.

And it's too much fun right now, pitching in the big leagues with these guys and with the opportunity to win.

So, you know, for me, but I definitely think there will be a lot more clarity for everybody.

You know, like we have Sir Anthony Dominguez, this guy that's,

you know, pitched in very high leverage situations in two World Series.

Grant Taylor's another year further.

Jordan Leisure pitched unbelievably down the stretch last year.

You know, and you just have a lot of guys coming back where I feel like we all now have a better idea of, okay, how do we win games?

And, like, that's what I look back on is kind of how we finished the year last year.

We go into Detroit, and we take two out of three against a team that's making a playoff push, and we won close games.

Yes, yep.

To a lot of people, that might not seem like much, but to a guy that's younger with a lot of younger teammates –

learning how to win those games on the road, that means something like that is, that is meaningful baseball for us and our development.

So, you know, yeah, I, I, for me in terms of my role, I know I'm going in competing for a starting role, but to me, I just love pitching.

I just want to go pitch regardless.
