I know that in a perfect world, a guy is going to go slightly deeper into a ballgame and you'd like to rest more of your bullpen.

But it's September.
voice-verified
We have expanded rosters.
voice-verified
We have an expanded bullpen.
voice-verified
The bullpen actually wasn't too taxed coming into this ballgame.
voice-verified
you will take the outcome.

The way that outcome came about was not always beautiful, was not always elegant, was not always the best we've seen of Dylan Cease, but the results are what they are, and he gave them an excellent chance to win this ballgame, which is what they did.
voice-verified
I mean, he was the one who put them ahead, and he was the one who spared Louis Varland, an absolutely critical contribution to this win.
voice-verified
And with Springer, it's interesting because you see the name on the back of the jersey.
voice-verified
We know how good he was last season, and there have been flashes, but on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, it's kind of hard to know who George Springer is, and it's not because of a lack of skill or focus or...
voice-verified
Or even inconsistency, I believe, that has too much to do with the way he goes about his business.
voice-verified
It's just he has dealt with so many different, relatively minor normally, but so many different physical ailments over the course of the season.
voice-verified
Some of that just relates to being a player his age who has played as many ballgames as he has.
voice-verified
On a given day, it certainly feels like Springer can be feeling like himself and sort of looking like himself and producing like himself.
voice-verified
And there's other days where he kind of looks and feels and produces in a more limited capacity.
voice-verified
It felt like today might have been one of those days where we were going to see a somewhat diminished version of Springer because of that whole storyline you laid out where there was this lower body injury that he'd been managing to some degree.
voice-verified
But he comes out and, you know...
voice-verified
his double at the end of the ball game that was not an absolutely scorched double it's not like one where he banged it off the wall the home run was kind of a high arcing fly ball it was his first opposite field home run of the season which was kind of interesting we tend to see him turn on the ball to get it out so that showed some strength that he was able to do that but i think coming into the game you might have been reasonable to lower your expectations and instead of anything limiting him he had one of his better games of the season
voice-verified
Pitchers were just used differently
voice-verified
don't want to take anything away from the Rocket because those were unbelievable seasons, but you're just not going to see modern pitchers logging
